The object of this Company is , he erection' of Ceme teries for the burial of the dead in different parts of the kingdom, lby advancing one-half, or if necessary a greater proportion, of the • 'Capital requisite for each undertaking, on being allowed a corre sponding pi oportion of the profits, provided that the Company approve of such intended Cemeteries ; and provided that the Act of P a rliament for the incorporation of each local Company contain no invidious distinction between Churchmen and Dissenters. The advantages of public Cemeteries arc beginning to be gene qh.--s. rally appreciated, In most of the towns of England and Wales the burial places arc decidedly insufficient, and public decency as well 4 . as public health demands that densely populated neighbourhoods should be relieved from the harrowing sights and - noxious effluvia ' arising therefrom. ICot only do considerations of health and decency require a change, but the pious affection of surviving relatives, that seeks by moon • mental records to do homage to the virtues and memories of their departed friends, has no means in crowded churchyards of realizing its desires. Thickly-set gravestones interspersed with the whiten ing bones of the dead, leave no room for the labours of the chisel or the genius of the sculptor. In a pecuniary point of view the results of the Cemeteries already established are eminently favourable; as an instance, the la Shares in the Rusholmc-road burial-ground, in the neighbourhood of Manchester, are now worth near 401.

The very great and peculiar advantages possessed by this Junc tion Railway over almost every other project that has passed Par liament, or is now before the Public, may be appreciated by an attentive perusal of the following facts :- Ist. The line, in an engineering point of view, is extremely fa vourable, being on a dead level nearly the whole of the distance, and is so admirably fitted for the construction of a Railroad as to elicit from H. Handley, Esq„ the :Member for Lincolnshire, the following remarks on the peculiar advantages which the County possesses : . " It was a matter of very clear calculation that the agricultural interest would benefit as much by the establishment of Railways as the manufacturing or any other interest in the country. It was commonly said that the farmers were half a century behind the rest of the community in improvement. If they were to neglect the great modern improvement of Railways, they would be a whole century behind. It was not a question now of IL:Away or no Railway; the only anxiety was the best line of Raliway. The country was a dead flat ; and a Lincolnshire black smith and a Lincolnshire ditcher would be almost all that was ne cessary. A short time since a very strict and accurate experiment was made of the loss suffered by a drove of sheep in driving them to London. It was found that there was a loss of 81bs. weight in each sheep. When he stated, also, that the loss on a bullock was from 255. to 30s. in driving it to London, the importance of Rail way communication would be at once perceived. He should add, that the time occupied in driving sheep from Lincolnshire to Lon don was eight days. Now here was a loss of time and produce to the agriculturist ! Supposing the farmer could send his stock by the Railway at the same cost as driving them, still there was the time saved. Instead of eight days they would be able to send their stock to London in as many hours : and do not let it be forgotten that their stock would arrive in London in a much better and more saleable condition ; and that the meat, instead of being, as it now frequently is, from the driving, in a state unfit for food, woul , A be in prime and wholesome condition. Do you think the agri..ed turists cannot understand this benefit ? They would soon fird that, if they neglected the advantage of Railway communicaton, while ether districts enjoyed it, their prosperity would melt away, to use a Lincolnshire phrase, like tallow in the sun. So much for the carriage of Stock ; but the carriage of grain would be not less be neficial to the agriculturists, and profitable to the Company. 2d. The port of Hull, with its commodious and magnificent Docks, enjoys the greater part, and might enjoy nearly the whole, of the Baltic trade , and by being connected with Birmingham, and the great Iron Districts ; Staffordshire, and the Pottery Dis tricts ; Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and the Manufacturing Districts (with the whole of which this Railway will immediately connect it), will possess facilities beyond those of any other Port, for the exportation of British raw and manufactured produce. 3d. This Railway will connect Hull with London by a journey of not more than eight hours, instead of the present dilatory and sometimes dangerods conveyance by steam-packets and coaches, occupying from thirty to thirty-six hours, and which carry thousands of passengers pse week. 4th. The agricultural produce of Lincolnshire will be conveyed both south and north ; cattle, which now arrive in London in a sickly and wasted condition from the rich pastures of Lincolnshire, may be conveyed in a fat and health state ; and corn and wool will be transmitted to the great manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire, by the junction with the " Hull and Selby," and " Selby and Leeds" Railways, for which Acts have alredy been obtained. sth. As the Railway will pass over the Great North Road at or - near Newark, it will he the most direct conveyance, by its junc tion with the " Midland Counties Railway " and the " London and Birmingham Railway," from the Metropolis to any part of the north of the United Kingdom. 6th. During the summer season it will be the best route from London and the Aland Counties to the fashionable water ing-places--Scarborough, Burlington, &c., &c. In the winter it is certain that it will entirely supersede steam conveyance by water, which at present averages, between Hull and London, above 600 passengc;,s per day. 7th. From the calculations that have been made from official sources, the present business between the points of traffic would more than pay the expenses, and allow a profit to the proprietors ; yet, in addition to the peculiar local advantages which the port of Hull, and the junction with the other railways afford it, Dr. Lardner has given evidence that the result of all the railways al ready completed, has been found, on an average, to quadruple the goods and passengers previously conveyed along the same line of road. . . Bth. No serious opposition can be anticipated irnrn any quarter , to this Railway, as th e line is free from Gentlemen's seats and does not. interfere with any other line cornr:Leted or contemplated. The accompanyin ,, Map will convince, every one who inspects it that no other Railway in the kingdoln posses so many local and commercial advantages.

' 2 > LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1836. We are glad to learn that though the Lords threw out the Bill for the improvement of the Post-office, yet Ministers are determined on carrying into effect all those provisions of the measure which do not require the sanction of Parliament. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to move this evening that the House of Commons at its rising do adjourn to Friday next. From this we infer that Parliament will be prorogued on Saturday. The Municipal Officers' Election Bill, whose object is to substitute a declaration for certain oaths hereto fore required to be made on taking office, under the new Municipal Bill, was last night thrown out by the Lords by a majority of 16. This is quite of a piece with the rest of their conduct during the last two Sessions, and can serve no other purpose than to swell the amount of gratitude in which the country is already indebted to them. Their Lordships presume strangely on John Bull's forbearance ; they seem to imagine that ~it is like eternity, without end or limit, and that the more it is drawn upon, the more fully and surely it is developed ; otherwise they would not play the hazardous freaks that they are now nightly in the habit of doing. It is not merely a wholesome distrust—as Lord WIIARNCLIFFE would fain have us believe—of the proceedings of the House of Commons, that prompts them to their present course of conduct, but a deep rooted hostility to all the best interests of the people, arising from a false idea that such interests are directly at variance with their own. In the progress of the country towards intelligence, and consequently towards popular Government, their Lordships imagine that they see the downfall of their own patrician authority—and to a certain extent they are right, for it is morally im possible that the people can advance in knowledge, without fotling at every step, and desi r i n g t o remedy,' the embarrassments arising from the system of here ditary, irresponsible legislation. But this—were their Lordships in the full, unclouded possession of their reason, and not jaundiced by prejudice—need be no cause of annoyance to them, for it is not the destruc tion of their just privileges that is aimed at, but merely the fitting curtailment of an authority, for the exercise of which, as Sir ROBERT PEEL facetiously' remarked the other day, they arc accountable only to Providence. It is too bad that the House of Lords should be able, without a why or a wherefore—for in the majority of recent instances its discussions on popular measures have been a mere mockery—it is too bad, we say, that the Tory Members of this Institution, who seldom or never mix with the people, who know nothing of their wants and wishes, and at times even boast of their ignorance, should be able, without as signing any valid reason, to put a veto upon improvements which the country has called for, as being imperatively necessary from the increased in telligence of the community. Yet it is notorious that their Lordships have this power, and still more notorious that they arc never so much at ease—never so much in their element, as when exercising it to the most despotic extent. They pop at a popular measure with far more sportsmanlike zest than they ever pop at a partridge, and will sometimes bag three of a night, as they did last week. flow long is this farce to con tinue ?• How long are the Houses of Lords and Commons to play at cross-purposes with'each o th er ? As at present i . emiducted, legislation little better than a game at nine-pins. The Commons put up hi t le he and the Lords bowl them down again, w John Bull is compelled to look on, and content himself with the barren reflection, that one day or other these ab surdities will find their proper level. Surely it were far better that the country should at once better itself, than trust to a vague future for redressing follies like these ! The Lords are labouring in their vocation with due diligence. Nothing seems to afford them so keen a relish as a batch of good Bills sent up from the Com mons. Their organs of distructiveness are instantly excited to an ungovernable pitch, and each Grace-of- God legislator strives with his sage compeers who shall commit the greatest havoc. The better the measure, the more desperate is the onslaught. If its object be to remove an abuse, or to give effect to a popular right, it is, to all intents and purposes, doomed. Their Lordships' last night's exploits will not be forgotten when the day of reckoning with the people arrives. They first threw out the Civil Offices' De claration Bill. And why ? Simply because it dispensed with an et i'nhe're an oath was unnecessary. Many persons have an almost insuperable reluctance to in voke the sacred name of the Creator on trivial occa sions ; and this Bill was intended for their relief, and, we will add, would have tended to promote the interests both of,Joligion and morality, which have sufFered very mat 7: ia l / 4 ,slainage from the practice of indiscriminate oatli• t'ak mg. 'But what says the Archbishop of CAN 'TERELTRY ? "It is impossible," quoth his Grace, to dispense with religious tests !" Having thus summarily disposed of the Bill for re lieving the consciences of his MAJESTY'S subjects, the Lords proceeded next to deal with that which was intended to defend their persons from the injustice of the law--the Prisoners' Counsel .Bill. The purpose of this measure is to give the prisoner in criminal cases the benefit of being defended by a legal advocate. To render the proposed change in the practice of our Courts of Law a real advantage, it is essentially ne cessary that the Prisoner's Counsel should have the last word—the privilege of a final reply. Without this it is evident that the prisoner would be in a worse situation than he is at present, for now the Counsel for the Prosecutor contents himself with an opening speech ; whereas, if this Bill were to pass as the Lords have altered it, the moment the pri soner's Counsel has made his speech, or even exa mined his witnesses, the Counsel for the prosecu- tion would get up and make a second harangue, probably, too, in an excited state of feeling, and the consequence in nine cases out of ten would be to leave on the minds of the jury an impression more unfa vourable than the merits of the case would warrant. When the Bill went from the Commons, it gave the prisoner the last word. The Lords rejected that pro vision—it was replaced by the Commons—and last night their Lordships again rejected it, adhering with an obstinate and undignified pertinacity to their for mer decision, for no other earthly reason► than that they had so decided. Sic volo, sic fiche°, is the only motto for a hereditary legislator. The prime Mover of the opposition to this humane and wise proposition, we need hardly say, was that consistent Proteus Lord LYNDHURST—the man who a week or two ago actually squeezed out a few croco dile tears when descanting on the inhumanity of the English Criminal Law, and describing the hard fate of a poor prisoner denied the privilege of defence when tried for his life. Somebody once said that this sprig of legal nobility can cry with one side of his face and laugh with the other, and we sincerely believe it. Whatever may be the object of the Tories in bringing the question of the state of Spain nightly before the House of Commons, the result cannot fail to benefit the cause of freedom in that country. We shall not quarrel with Mr. GROVA nucE for haranguing by the hour in the praise of DON CARLOS, and in sup port of the darkest system of despotism that ever de graded the human family, provided his speeches have the effect of calling forth, on the part of the Govern ment, such sentiments and opinions as those expressed by Lord PALMERSTON in the House of Commons last night. To his Lordship there is nothing terrific in the Constitution of Cadiz, or in any other Consti tution, if it be approved of by the Spanish people themselves. The form of Government which they may think proper to adopt is undoubtedly their own affair, and they have an incontestable right to regulate it in any way they choose. His Lordship's reference to the present state of Spain, as illustrating the consequences of the bad faith of Kings, came with peculiar force from the mouth of a British Minister of the Crown. Had the tyrant FRItnINAND kept faith with the Spa nish people ) i)on CARLOS would not have dared to aspire to the Crown ; and even if he had, the Cortes would have settled the question without exposing the country to a tingle shot fired either in defence or in opposition to his claims. Lord PALMERSTON, however, appears not suffi ciently aware of the position in which Great Britain is placed with respect to Spain by the Quadruple Treaty. Perhaps it is not generally known, that by the Consti tution of Cadiz, the Deputies of the Kingdom alone have the power of appointing the REGENT during the minority of the SOVEREIGN ; and that they only are the natural Guardians and Superintendents of the education of the Royal Minor. Now the Quadruple Treaty recognizes the Regency of Queen CIIRISTINO, and there is no reason to suppose that her MAJESTY will submit the validity of her appointment to the deci sion of the Spanish Deputies. In the event, therefore, of a collision between the QUEEN and the Constitu tionalists, we could not, consistently with the spirit of our engagements, remain 'neutral. Were the Cabinets of London and Paris zealously to exert themselves, we have no doubt but that an ac commodation between the Constitutionalists and the supporters of the Estatuto Real would be effected without any considerable difficulty. In all essential points there is very little difference between the two documents. The Estatuto Real gives to the people of Spain almost all the privileges secured to British subjects by the Constitution under which we live ; and, without meaning offence to the Spanish nation, we may be allowed to call in question its moral fitness for the exercise of less restrictive franchises. How ever, as we have before observed, the question is one which the people of Spain have an undoubted right to settle among themselves. We have nothing to do with it, farther than to prevent any stain being cast upon the national honour of England, in regard to the fulfil ment of an existing treaty. By the letter and spirit of that Treaty we have bound ourselves, in conjunction with France and Portugal, to establish the throne of Donna ISABELLA 11. That this country will see accomplished at every hazard. The French Papers of Monday are barren of inte resting intelligence. The iVloniteur is silent with re spect to Spain. The Pliare de Bayonne of the 11th gives the following account of the object of M. Bois LE COMTE'S mission to the Spanish capital : " The affairs of Spain assume a more alarming aspect daily, by the successful attempts of the factious party, and cause the French Government, in its quality of ally, to take some measure for the maintenance of Isabella's throne. " It is well known that several conferences respecting the aff:irs of Spain have taken place, both at the Palace and at the house of the President of the Council. " The affairs of that country were most warmly discussed, and the subject of intervention laboriously examined; the re. sult of these meetings is the raising of an army of 10,000 men to reinforce the Foreign Legion. However, many explana tions and instructions were to be given to our Ambassador at Madrid. M. de Rayneval had long since requested the Go vernment to give him such instructions. The state of the Peninsula and his own safety, as well as that of the French residing at Madrid, made him address to the French Cabinet some reclamations in favour of the Court to which he has been sent. " M. Bois lc Comte has been sent to deliver to M. de Ray. ncval such despatches as relate to the present state of affairs, as well as to give verbal instructions from the French Go. vcrnment. M. Bois le Comte's mission will not be merely a diplo matic one; for to arrive at Madrid he must go through those provinces where the revolution rages, and judge for himself of the real state of the insurrected provinces, of the position of the Queen's army, and of the force of the rebellious faction. M. Bois le Comte's presence in Spain will be one great proof of the interest taken by the French Government in the affairs of her ally, and, far from seeing in it a clever trick to replace our Ambassador at Madrid by a simple Charge d'Affaires, wo declare it our firm conviction that the French Government, full of solicitude for the welfare of the Constitutional Throne of Spain, has taken this way of giving a denial to those who accuse her of lightness and indifferpnce in what concerns the Peninsula ; and to prove that the only principle maintained at Madrid shall be the Constitutional one, recognized in the per sons of Isabella and her august mother, and that the legitimate principle represented by Don Carlos shall never triumph over the one to which it has promised protection." The annexed extract from the Memorial Bordelais is, in our opinion, wholly unworthy of credit. We do not believe that Mr. VILLIERS has signed, or is authorized to sign, any such official communication as that referred t o below : " It appears that the diplomatic representatives of France and England at Madrid addressed on the 4th an official note to the Queen's Cabinet, announcing, that according to instruc tions from their respective Courts, they should immediately cease all intercourse with Spain, and even demand their pass ports, if the authority of her Majesty was violated, or if any essential alterations were made in the testamentary disposi tions of the late King Ferdinand VII.; dispositions which, they rightsay, form,in the ey es o f E uro p e , th e b as i s o f the legiti mate Isabella 11. Th ese a mbassadors are both at say, o St. Ildefonso." General SAARSFIELD has accepted the command of the army, but he has addressed the Government for permission to exercise his authority, without being subject to the controul of the Minister of War. This is rather a novel application on the part of a General. No Government could be so insane as to pay the least regard to it. L Lrr We have adviccs from St. Sebastian to the 12th. The LTginn WAs inactive. It was rumoured that Ge neral 1-wANs had threatened that, if the Constitution of Cadiz were proclaimed in the tdwn, he would quit, and sail with his troops for England. PARIS, AUGUST 14.—We have still no news from Madrid of a later date than the ith. Some persons, indeed, speak of dispatches of the 10th, and even the 11th, but nothing certain is known, and the Ministe!le complete Tteleiters from Bayonne say that Montcs, who com mands 6,000 men in Aragon, has refused to obey the junta of Saragossa, and is falling back upon Madrid. A report was in circulation that the Governor of Puenta la Reyna had been massacred, but this report is not confirmed. Nor is the news of the advantage obtained by Basilic) Garcia ; it is however con firmed that Gomez entered Leon on the Ist of August. PARIS, AUGUST 15.—The Hclvelie arrived this morning, gives the text of the last dispatch of M. Thiers to the Duke of Montabello : " I invite you to prosecute with activity the affair of the refugees. The proposals of the Committee are insufficient, for so long as the Cortcs are left to judge of the cases and desire to see to the execution in their own territory, the measures will be but imperfectly executed, and the ill will, on the resistance of one of them, may render all useless. Switzerland must be addressed in frank, though harsh language. If it does not submit to the councils and the demands of France, it may consider itself as at variance (broudlee),. with France, and its resistance will be immediately followed by a hermetrical blockade (blocus hermetigree),—Journal du Commerce, August 51 PARIS, AUG. 15.—A liberal journal has the following ar ticle :—Letters from Bayonne, of the 11th, received this morning, say that, by an order from Madrid, 4,000 of the Queen's troops, who were opposed to the Carlists in Arra gon, have marched towards the capital. In consequence of the departure of these troops, the line of the Ebro, in the whole extent of Lower Arragon, remains un covered, and the high road to Madrid through that Province, became almost free to the Carlists. Is it not to be feared, says the writer, that Villa Real may profit by this advantage, and march against thecapital?—Gazette de France, Aug. 16. In The Sun of this day will be found one of the most important public documents that has been sub mitted to the people of England since the opening of the present session of Parliament—namely, the Report of the Select Committee on Shipwrecks. Some of statements contained in it are quite appalling ; and the very existence of many of the main causes of such frightful losses of life and property, reflect the greatest disgrace upon the past Governments of this country. Our Legislators are all economists. They are too conscientious—too mindful of their pledges upon the hustings—too careful of the pockets of their constituents, to vote away money to build com modious harbours of refuge ; and the consequence is, that the country sustains an annual loss of three mil lions sterling from shipwrecks, besides one thousand able-bodied seamen, most of whom leave destitute families to bewail their untimely end I 'This is an awful fact, and ought to carry with it the conviction of a heavy legislative responsibility. Indeed, we question whether such another instance of gross neglect on the part of the Representatives and Government of a commercial people is to be found in the annals of the world. _ _ And yet calamitous as are the statements contained in the Report, the eighth section of it assures us that its calculations of the loss of life and property at sea do not embrace the whole extent of the evil, even in a numerical form. Many vessels are lost, of which no entry is made at Lloyd's ; and the Select Committee was furnished with no means of estimating the real amount of damage beyond what could be supplied by the books and agents of that establishment. As we are greatly pressed for space, we are obliged to postpone an examination of the several recom mendations suggested by the Committee till to-morrow. The public interest which this document cannot fail to excite, is in no danger of subsiding before the Press has had ample opportunities of discussing it. 'r. HUME, who is one of the most indefatigable of the people's representatives, deserves great credit for having called attention last night to the manner in which the private business of the House of Commons is conducted. The Hon. Member closed a sensible speech on the subject, by moving that the House do agree with the opinion of the Committee, as regarded agents for conducting the private business of the House ; and if they should agree with that opinion, then to propose such regulations as would be best cal culated to carry into effect that recommendation. After some observations by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who stated that he entirely approved of the course taken by the Hon. Member for Middle sex, that Hon. Gentleman's resolutions were agreed to. SIR WILLIAM INGILBY.—The kind-hearted, up right, and fearless Sir William Ingilby is for ever separated from Lindsey l—Lincoln Gazette.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The anni versary fete was celebrated yesterday at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The company was very numerous ; in fact, during the whole day there was a perpetual stream of well-dressed people going in and out of the gates. The giraffes were the great attraction. Every body was anxious to get a sight of them. Horncastle Great Horse Fair has commenced a day or two earlier than usual ; several foreigners and London dealers have arrived. None but first-rate horses are yet to be seen, and they are selling at extraordinary prices. There is every appearance of a very throng fair. The fair day falling on Sunday the 21st instant, the beast and sheep fair will be held on Monday the 22d. A party of blacklegs have arrived, and three horses have been already stolen.—Lincoln Gazette. On Tuesday night the house of Mr. Auckland, farmer, near the White Bridges, Skirbeck Quarter, lately oc cupied by Mr. Ownsworth, was entirely consumed by fire. They had been brewing, and while the servant girl ran to the assistance of a child that had hurt itself, some straw caught fire. It was nearly two hours before the engines were on the spot, by which time there was nothing left but the gable end, which has since been thrown down.—Lincoln Gazette. 'filE REGISTRATION.—Every post brings some return of the new claims put in, showing a great majority in favour of the Reformers. We call upon the Reformers in every parish to examine the list immediately, and send by post a statement of the number of new claims put in by each party, and also a list of the persons who ought to be objected to as not being properly qualified, to Mr. E. Cox, solicitor, Taun ton, the secretary to the West Somerset Reform Registration Association.—Sherborne Journal. INUNDATION OF A COAL PIT.—On Friday, about twelve o'clock at noon, a man in the employ of Messrs. Bower, Middleton, and Wilson, whilst working in a pit in the south part of the New Hall Colliery, Middleton, broke into a large stand of concealed water. The small identation produced by the workman's pipe was speedily enlarged by the strong pressure of water, and he himself forced to a considerable dis tance from the place at which he was working over a corve, or coal measure, from which he received material injury. The water, in the course of a few minutes, inundated the whole of the colliery, scarcely allowing time for those employed to es cape from their perilous situation; Eleven of the twenty men at work at the time escaped by the mouth of the New Hall Pit, and the other nine by forcing open a door which leads into the adjoining colliery, belonging to Messrs. Charlesworth. Pro videntially, the whole number of men engaged at the time of the inundation were unhurt, with the exception of the one who was the immediate cause of it. In the course of about five hours, it is calculated that nearly 47,000 gallons of water were pumped out by the engine, notwithstanding it was five feet in depth at the end of that time.—Sheffield Iris. MAGNANIMITY OF CATHERINE OF RUSSIA.— When Dr. Dimsdale inoculated Catherine the Second for the small-pox, that Princess—who, whatever might be the vices of her moral character, possessed a very large and magnani mous mind —took precautions for securing his personal safety in case of her death. Finding herself much indisposed on a particular day, she sent for Dimsdale, whom she had already remunerated in a manner becoming so great a Sovereign. ‘‘ I experience," said she, " certain sensations which render me apprehensive for my life. My subjects would, I fear, hold you accountable for anv accident that might befall me. I have, therefore, stationed a yacht in the Gulf of Finland, on board of which you will embark as soon as I am no more; and whose Commander, in consequence of my orders, will convey you out of all danger." This anecdote, so honourable to the Empress, I heard from one of Dimsdale's sons, above forty years ago.._ Wraxall's Memoirs. On Thursday night two valuable horses, the pro perty of Messrs. Goldsmith, of Parliament-street, London, were stolen from a field at Stondon, near Ongar.

SHEFFIELD-MOT DAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—lt is with extreme regret I have to inform you we arc to have no contest for this important borough, con taining above 100,00) souls. The reason of my regret is, that had a Tory, or even a half-and.ludf, had the temerity to come forward, the overwhelming majority which would have crowned the return of the new Lord of the Treasury, John Parker, Esq., would have shown the country at large the confidence the intelligent electors of Sheffield place in Lord Melbourne's Administratiori. Your spirited and libe ral News Agent, Mr. \\ iley, who is behind no one in early and correct information on all political, as well as sporting topics, has posted in his window, No. 12,, Hay market, Mr. Parker's address, printed on orange paper, and alongside of it a large sheet of blue paper, as blank as the small party who sport that colour occasionally, at their hole-and-corner meetings, which no doubt means (as our grinders would say) that the Tories have " billed it." Yours truly, A REFORMER. P.S.—As a real Tory M.P. has not been seen by our hardy mechanics, except by a few, who by chance got a peep at Sir Bobby at Longshaw, on Friday last,—if you have any influence with any real out-and-out Blue, send him down in the new van along with " L7is," for both will be a great curiasity. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (TIIIS I)AY.) OLD COURT. Eliza Foy, 22, Jane Reddy 21, and Mary Fenning, 24, were indicted for feloniously assaulting Elizabeth Thomas on the King's highway, and robbing her of goods and monies. Elizabeth Thomas stated, that on the 11th of July, about five o'clock in the afternoon, she was in Maidenhead-passage, in the neighbourhood of Golden-square, when she was seized by the prisoner, Mary Fenning, and thrown down ; Jane Reddy stamped upon her stomach, and her bundle was then taken from her by Foy, and handed across to Fenning. The bundle contained tea, sugar, and several other articles which she had been out to purchase. After she got away from the prisoners, she gave information at St. Ann's Watch-house, after which the prisoners were taken, but witness had never recovered her . property. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for Foy— Did not know any of the prisoners, and did not recollect one of them having a red gown on. John Baldwin, police constable C 103, took Foy and Reddy into custody. They denied the charge, but said there was another that had done it. Took Fenning on the following Thursday, who said she was very sorry she was in the concern. All the prisoners strongly persisted in their innocence. The grand-daughter of the landlady of the Maidenhead public-house, stated that Foy had been at her grandmother's house dancing all the day in question, and did not leave it till after an alarm had been given of the robbery. Several witnesses gave Foy an excellent character. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up the case, and the Jury ac quitted all the prisoners. Henry George Thomas was indicted for violently assaulting Mary Ann Thomas, his wife, on the 20th of July, at Hack ney-wick, with intent to kill and murder her. In another count he was charged with wounding and maiming; and in a third with doing her grievous bodily harm. Mary Ann Thomas stated that the prisoner at the bar was her husband, they lived together at Hackney-wick. On the evening of the day in question, the prisoner was at a public-house in the neighbourhood of Hackney. The witness called there, and asked him if he was going home ; he said he was not, and she desired him to wait till she went and got something for his supper. As she was returning to the public-house, she met the prisoner going from home. She asked him to come back with her, and she would cook his supper. He said he would. They walked together, and when she got into the hay field, he hit her a blow on the head, and knocked her down, telling her to go home, and he would then show her what he would do for her, saying he would either have her life, or she should have his life. She begged of him not to strike her. They then went home, and as soon as they were both in the house, the prisoner locked the door. He got the broom and beat her upon the head several times. Witness fell down ; on getting up he knocked her down again, squeezed her as hard as he could on the neck, he then put a rope round her neck swung her against the door, and kicked her upon the ribs. Blood came from each of the blows of the broom. He then got the hatchet, struck the table, and said, " I will have your b—y life, as sure as I have split that table." He then went to the door, and said, " Tel? b—y policemen shall not take me, and I will have your b--y life." Witness then got out of the window, saw a policeman, who took her husband into custody. The prisoner was not sober at the time, but he was not so drunk that he did not know what he was about. Policeman N, 245—Recollected seeing the last witness on the 20th of July ; blood was flowing from the back of her head ; she requested witness to take her to the station-house, or her husband would murder her. After he had taken the last witness to the station-house, he went in search of the prisoner. On being told he must come along with them, he asked what had become of his wife, to which witness replied he had taken her to the watch-house. Witness then asked him what he had been doing to his wife, as there was blood on the table and floor, to which the prisoner replied that he had only given her a slap on the nose. Witness said, do you know you have nearly killed her ? to which he replied he wished he had, and then he should be hung for it, declaring that if they came to gether again he would blow her b—y brains out. Another Policeman confirmed the statements of the last witness, and produced the hatchet with which the prisoner split the table—a most formidable instrument, together with the broom split to pieces, and the rope. A surgeon, who had been called in to examine the prose cutrix stated that she was wounded most severe l y on the head and different parts of the body. Two of her ribs were frac tured. Witness thought the prosecutrix was then in an ex tremely dangerous state. The prisoner, in his defence, said that his wife was a very bad woman, that she took all his things and pawned them, and attempted to put boiling lead into his ears. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up, and the Jury found the Irisoner Guilty—Death. NEW COURT. John Powell was indicted for stealing a large sum of money in bank-notes, promissory notes, and gold, amounting to near 5001., the property of a cattle-dealer of the name of Lewis. The prosecutor had come to Smithfield to purchase cattle, and had put up at a publie-house, where he met the prisoner. They were drinking together, and slept in the same room. In the morning the prisoner was not to be found, and the bag containing the prosecutor's money was equally indiscoverable. In a few days, however, the prisoner was apprehended, and part of the money—a promissory note— was found upon him, together with the bag in which the whole of the property was contained. The Jury at once returned a verdict of guilty. The COMMON-SERGEANT expressed his surprise that the charge laid was a simple larceny. The Prisoner—l know nothing of the robbery. If a man can't get a counsellor, it seems that he may be transported or hanged by false swearing. The COMMON-SERGEANT—AII the Counsel in the world could not alter your case. I never heard a clearer case in life, and my only regret is, that I can only send you out of the couutry for seven years. The robbery you have committed may be the ruin of that poor man (the prosecutor). The prisoner—(a most hardened looking offender)—lt will do him good. Good bye, till I see you again, my Lord. The prosecutor applied to know whether he had a right to take possession of a horse which had been purchased by the prisoner. There was no doubt but that the horse had been purchased with his (the prosecutor's) money. The police officer confirmed this statement. The COMNION- SERGEANT doubted whether lie had power to do this. The Act of Parliament gave power to restore the property that had been stolen, but not the produce of it. Mr. PIIILLIPPS did not know whether the Act of Parliament gave the power or not, but he could state from his own know-' ledge that it was a thing that was dune every day. The COMMON- SERGEANT said he would consult the Judges of the other Court. The Learned Judge accordingly left the Court, and after an absence of a few rniiiutes, returned and said. that he had consulted Baron Gurney and Mr. Justice Williams, and their opinion was that the Act of Parliament gave him the power to order restitution of the horse, and all the property that had been found. Mr. Putwres—No doubt of it. WORKING OF TIE; NEW POOR LAW ACT.—AS the vituperations of ultra-tories and ultra radicals continue to be poured on this special object of their dislike, it may not be amiss to notice the opinion of a gentleman whose political sen timents, personal interest, and local re!ilence and connexion+ are not at all likely to bias his mind in favour of this measure of the Whig Government. We speak of Mr. Richard Bethell, of Rise, a Tory landowner, and one 'of the representatives of the East Riding of Yorkshire, who, last week, presiding at a dinner of the East Riding Agricultural Society, upwards of 450 landowners and farmers being present, in his first address from the chair is reported to have said—" Perhaps I shall not wander out of the duty which is imposed upon me if I take this opportunity of stating to you that as a law, whichl trust will be highly ben e fi c i a l t o the community at large, has at this par ticular moment been brought under the notice of the country, I felt it my duty to communicate with gentlemen who reside in districts of the kingdom where the new poor law has been carried into complete execution, who state it as their general opinion that the greatest benefits have arisen from it—( Hear, and applause)—not only as diminishing the weight and amount of thei r poor rates, but as having most materially improved the situation of the labouring classes. --4 Cheers.) lam certain that no person whom I now see round me would wish that so useful and meritorious a class of people should suffer for their private e molument—(Loud cheer s )—b u t I am assure d by all who live in districts where the poor laws have been worse carried into effect than in any other part of the country, that the improvement produced has been most striking and bene ficial."--Manchester Guardian. A rumour has been again spread abroad by the Tories, for about the fiftieth time, that Mr. Tynte does not in tend offering himself again for the county. Now, we assert, upon authority, that such a rumour is utterly false ; but such false rumours are a part of the present tactics of the Tories.— Sherborne Journal. • We hear there is a tolerably abundant breed of par tridges and pheasants this year, particularly the latter, the young broods of which are strong - on the wing.

New York papers have just been received to July 21• They give the following important news from Texas : (From the New Orleans Bulletin of July 2.) 4, The steamer Captain Read arrived at a late hour last evening, bringing the intelligence that 7,000 Mexican troops , composed in part of those that were permitted to retire from Texas after the revengeful battle of San Jacinto, and the re mainder fresh recruits from Matamora, had taken up their line of march upon Texas about the 20th ult., and reached Guac loupe. Brigadier-General Rush, Commander-in-Chief of the Texian army, having discovered their approach and fearful numbers, had retreated, in order to select a favourable position in which to receive his blood-thirsty enemies.

LIFE OF SAMUEL COLEMAN.-A little pamphlet under the above title has just been published for the a uthor. Samuel Coleman is, as he tells his readers in his title-Pg' " a remnant of the bold peasantry, their countr's pride ; be 15 aged upwards of 100 years, and was field-laboyurer till four score." The pamphlet also contains observations tend ing t° promote longevity, good health, and a happy cheerful dispost tion, together with suggestions for bettering the conditio n et working and labouring cottagers. He was born in or near the city of Bath, August 8, 1735. His father ill s a stonecutter, and removed to Worton, near Devizes, whe elll : son Samuel was a little boy. His wife died more than Sl t i years ago, and it does not appear that he has any children 11", ing. The pamphlet is so short that to extract any continuo( portion of 'it would be tantamount to reprinting the %Owl e % what is at all interesting, and defeat the object for which t" publication is put forward—viz., the benefit of the old Mi l ; himself. The following extract is, however, pertinent to subject on which Samuel Coleman has a right to be heard " Having lived twenty years where one man occupied twenty farms, the following were the effects': —Twenty farming familieo, and twenty dairies lost ; forty-seven servants living and lodgini with the small farmers dismissed ; forty labourers deprived.% keeping a pig, instead of having as before tubs well fille d vo b t , pork, and racks stowed with bacon ; then followed empty tlic4 and bare bacon-racks.
