ZA)g LONDON, 'WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10, 183,3. We uncle stand that a deputation, consisting of a number of the most liberal and influential Members of the House of Conn-nous, will wait upon the heads of the Govcrnine.ty' L to-morrow, at Downing -street, for the purpose of mcommending measures for the reduction or abolitisjr of the stamp duty on Newspapers. is very important at, the present u:om cn t ; a ;11 .1 we d u hope that the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER 101 ava:j himself of the assistance whch the deputa 6ort is so well capable of rendering him. It is c•-viclent that the Ultra-Liberal party has no wish to cnbarrass the Government in any way whatever ; and that the leadeTs of that party are desirous of impressing 2+iinisterx 'with views, the adoption of which will pre vent the possibility of collision. Wr have already dwelt upon the notice given by the CIE% ::CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, of slthinittlng the question of Stamp Duties to Parliament on the . Bth of March. On the occasion alluded to, we re gretted that so much time was allowed to pass over, before calling the attention of the House of Commons to a measure of the first importance to the • coun try. We are still of the same oninion. There is not the slightest necessity for delaying the consideration of a Newspaper Stamp Re duction Bill. If it be the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce or abolish the Stamp Duty, the Government has only to say the word. and it is done. We have heard, indeed, but we cannot credit a rumour so absurd, that the Government proposes taking the whole question of Stamps into consideration, and making Newspapers and all other stamped papers the object of the same law. This, ilideed, would be most absurd. First, because the Newspaper Press requires a law only applicable to itself; and again because, such an attempt, like the Custom's Committee Reports, would consume in use less preliminaries at least two more Sessions of Parlia ment. To be dealt with in a proper spirit, the News paper Stamp duty must be viewed as an impost entirely unconnected with all other items of taxation—as a tax not imposed on material, but on the mind. A Bill for the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales was introduced into the House of Com mons last night by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. For the details of this very important measure, we must refer our readers to the debate—our limited space not al lowing us to do more than to give a brief outline of the Noble Lord's plan. The tithe-owner, whether lay or clerical, is henceforth to have nothing to do with the collection of tithe, which is to be converted into a rent-charge on the land. The amount of this rent-charge is to be computed in the following manner :—lt is proposed to appoint a Board, consist ing of three Chief-Commissioners (two to be nomi nated by the Crown, and one by the Archbishop of CA N TERB uRY), who, assisted by sub-Commissioners, are to value the tithes in every separate parish. The owners of one-fourth of the value of tithe in any parish may enter into an agreement with three-fourths of the owners of land, and this agreement being made at a public meeting, shall be binding on all who do not appeal against it. In case no amicable arranaernent is concluded within six months, then any tithe-owner or landowner may call upon the Commissioners to interfere, who shall then investigat e the state of the tithes in that parish, and declare what has been the amount paid during the last seven years. If it shall be found that the amount actually received shall exceed 75 per cent, of the real value, then the future payment shall be fixed at that rate ; if the amount received fall under 60 per cent., it shall in future be raised to that extent. Thus the difference in the amount of tithe throughout all Eng land and Wales will never exceed 15 per cent., ranging between the points 60 and 75 of the titho-metrical scale. The Commissioners are also to estimate and fix the quantity of corn which, according to the above scale, shall in future represent the tithe hitherto paid in various commodities, and the value of this corn converted into money at the average price of the last seven years, struck annually, shall be the amount of the landowners' rent charge, payable to the tithe proprietor, and recoverable by distress and entry on the land. Such are the principal provisions of this Bill, from which it will be seen that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has adopted the Scottish tithe system, with some modifi cations. We should have been glad to have found a clause for the redemption of the rent charge by the landowner, which, if we mistake not, was contemplated in one of the Bills brought in by Lord ALTIMIP. A discussion took place last night in the Lower House on a motion brought forward by Mr. HUME, that it be an instniction to the Committee to consider the propriety of selecting a new site for the proposed Houses of Parliament. The debate on this subject was no otherwise of interest, than as it enabled Mr. KEARSLEY to divert the House by a most grotesque attack on Mr. HUME, for which he was called to order by the SPEAKER, but not before he had made such an exhibition of his powers of absurdity, as is not often witnessed, except when the Hon. and Gallant Member for Lincoln is in the full flow of his Con servative eloquence. Mr. HUME brought forward a motion last night in the House of Commons, for the purpose of discon tinuing the gratuitous fees hitherto given by Hon. Members to certain officers of the House. The sense of the House was decidedly with the Hon. Member on this occasion, and accordingly his resolution was car ried ; with the understanding, however, that compen sation should be made to those whose interests were liable to be affected by it. This is worthy the liberality of the House of Commons. Old servants should not be forgotten ; though at the same time there is no earthly reason why they should be remunerated for their services to a degree beyond what justice and com mon sense demand. The fees at present given to the various officers of the House are preposterously inor dinate, and stand greatly in need of the pruning-hook. After all, however, the question is one rather of a pri vate, than a public character. Sir R. MUSGRAVE'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill for the relief of the Poor in Ireland, was agreed to by the House of Commons last night without a di vision. Although we think the Hon. Gentleman would have acted more wisely in postponing this mea sure, upon hearing the explanations offered by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and after receiv ing a distinct pledge, in the name of the Government, that a well-matured Bill would be. brought forward in the course of the Session ; • yet we do not regret a per severance which has served to call forth the opinions of all parties in the House with respect to this great question. Even Mr. O'CONNELL admitted that the time was come when relief must be extended to the poor of Ireland; and that his impressions of the salu try working of the new Poor Law Amendment Act for England and Wales led him to be persuaded, that the provisions of that Act might be safely extended to the sister country. But the Tories could not suffer such an opportunity of endeavouring to embarrass the Go vernment to pass over in silence. The Learned Recorder for Dublin, Mr. SHAW, could not see the necessity of waiting for the Report of the Commissioners of In quiry ; and Mr. SCARLETT was surprised that Mi -1 nisters should recommend any measure in a KING'S Speech, the, details of which were not at their fingers' ends. The first of these Hon. Gentlemen is rather noted for the extent-of his intuitive knowledge of all matters connected with Ireland. He delights to substitute fancies for facts. He has a horror of all detailed inquiries into the state of that country, and prefers legislation based upon the feelings and the prejudices of certain old women, cased in indispensables, and frightened out of their wits by the terror of Popish ascendancy. But the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not to be caught in the snare of the Recorder. Such a course as that recommended by the Orange Judge to .a Liberal Administration, was by no means withput a precedent. The Tories (such was their love of economy !) instituted no trou blesome and expensive Commissions to inquire into the probable effect of a law before enacting it. They did issue Commissions nevertheless ; but then their object was to make out a convenient mode of distri buting a portion of the public plunder, among their supporters out of doors. When the lawyers were not to be bribed, there were no Commissions of Inquiry instituted ; and when there were, the object was un derstood by all parties, so that Parliament took no notice of the reports. The Whigs inquire, that they may legislate for the welfare of the people. The whole of the Paris papers of Monday hav:: been received. They bring no domestic intelligence of the slightest importance. Nothing is yet known as to the re-arrangement of the Cabinet. " P.A acs, FEE. B.—Our letters from the frontiers bring nothing interesting," says the Memorial Bordelais. " There is nothing new on the frontier. Letters from Madrid, which we have before us speak of the influence which the secret societies exercise at this moment. It seems that all the efforts of the Ministry and of these societies are to be exerted to hinder the re-election of Tortmo and Martinez de la Rosa." According to the last accounts from Spain, 12,000 recruits from Galicia are assembling at Santander, who arrive both by sea and land, in order that by the middle of March there may be 16 or 20,000 men on the coasts. Rodil is going to take the command in Arragon, where he is to organize another corps of 20,000 recruits, and Mina in Catalonia has begun to restore order, which he will know how to preserve and consolidate. The accounts of the insurrection towards the frontiers of France are very satisfactory. The movement in favour of the Queen had already extended to Valcarlos, and 1,000 muskets had been deli vered to the Spanish agent from the French Government.__ Con stitutionnel. _ _ Don Carlos has just issued a decree, which has been published in the provinces, ordering all the inhabitants possessed of arms, whether in good or bad condition, to deliver them in a very short time. It is said these arms are intended for the late levies. The Carlists are in want of arms ; Aybar and another manufactory are ordered to furnish them. The Viceroy of Navarre is gone to Valcarlos with a division. Sentinelle. Cordova, content with what he calls a reconnoisance, remains quietly shut up in Vittoria, and suffers the insurrection to gather great strength. It is difficult to discover the motive for such inaction, which doubtless cannot long remain a secret. It is affirmed that the brave Colonel Conrad, who commanded the French Legion of Algiers, having attempted to question Cordova respecting the motive for such extraordinary conduct, received a haughty answer, after which the Colonel quitted him much irritated, and throwing down his epaulettes. What is certain is that the Colonel set out for Madrid immediately after this conversation, and that the Algerine Legion has received orders to proceed to Galicia. —Memorial des Pyrenees.—Messager, Feb. 8. We learn from the German Papers just received that Frankfort has joined the Prussian commercial league. What will the anti-free traders of Great Britain say to this ? We learn, by the arrival on Thursday, at Ports mouth, of the Nautilus, from Santander, that the cutter Paddy from Cork, which was detained in November last, by the Reyna Gobernadora Spanish steam-ves sel, is still in the harbour at Santander, under surveil lance ; for although condemned by the authorities at Santander, the case was referred to the Superior Court at Madrid, and remains still for final adjudication. From circumstances which have come to our know ledge, we have reason to believe that this vessel has been very harshly dealt with by the Spanish authorities ; as there appears no sufficient ground for the assertions that have been made in the public prints in England, that she ever was in the employ of Don CAlt- LOS. On the contrary, it is asserted that her cargo was intended to be employed for the benefit of her Majesty the Queen of SPAIN'S cause, and that her detention has been more at the instance of parties interested in monopolizing the whole of the exports to the northern ports of Spain, than in consequence of any instructions from her MAJESTY'S Government. Whether this assertion be correct or otherwise, we have no means of knowing with any certainty ; but we do regard the detention of the vessel, under all the circumstances, as extremely impolitic on the part of the Spanish authorities. The object of the blockade is not to rob British subjects, but to prevent succours from being conveyed to the Pretender. Now, with res pect to the Paddyfrom Cork, that object has been gained by the detention of that vessel—even admitting, which we would not be justified in doing, in the teeth of a statement directly to the contrary—that she was employed to convey military stores to the Carlists. Be sides the Spanish authorities ought to bear in mind that Great Britain has mainly kept up the coast blockade, and that in so doing, it could form no part of her intention to confiscate the property of her erring subjects, with a view to enrich the Spanish treasury. The question should be brought under the notice of Lord JOHN HAY and the Madrid Cabinet. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Our arrivals are moderate this week, and the return of Flour is fair.

DUBLIN-MONDAY. Poor old Sir Harcourt Lees who has been doting for a l engt h of time, still continues td fancy himself the Nestor of Irish Torvism. He cannot find many to agree with him in that opinion, but it is the happiness of persons in his situation never to perceive when the world differs from them ; and he feels as much complacency and importance in his imaginary pre-eminence, as if all Great Britain were actually looking up to his Tripos for counsel and illumination. A passage from a late address of his to the Irish Conservative Members of Parliament exhibits this hallucination in a striking manner : " GENTLEMEN CONSERVATIVES,—The following observa ticns of one of the most eminent and accomplished men of that enlightened period of which he was a brilliant luMi nary (Sir William Temple) is well deserving of attention at all times, but particularly at this most awful crisis of Great Britain and Ireland's fate After all, nothing is so hard as to give wise counsel before events, and nothing so easy as after them to make wise reflections.' Gentlemen, such of you as read the Evening Packet, and several other loyal Protestant papers, must. do me the justice to admit that Sir H. Lees has afforded innume rable proofs that he alone is an exception to Sir William's rule ; for in no single instance, for fifteen years past, did he ever find it hard to give wise counsel before events." Mentis gratissimus error ! . _ Another - oracle of the same water (though the colour be some what different)—l mean Mr. Feargus O'Connor—is spoken of as likely to attempt to bring in a Tory for the borough of Clonmel. Mr. Ball, the Chancery barrister—who, if he be a Whig, is nothing more—though a Catholic, is a candidate for that town on the Government side and there can be no question of his return, pro vided the field be left to himself, against any Tory who may be put forward against him. But if ,Feargus O'Connor shall persist in his mad scheme of soliciting the suffrages of the Liberal party, he may achieve an exploit similar to that which he accomplished at Old ham, and Clonmel be represented by a Tory. But there is a hope still, that the result of a division in the Liberal constituency is so obvious to the wildest politician, that the bare attempt to create one will render the Learned Gentleman most unpopular, and arm his most ardent admirers against him. As to the respectable Catho lic shopkeepers of the town, he cannot have the least notion of re ceiving the slightest support from one of them. There may be some extravagant spirits among the populace who still think him honest and wise—and many a pretended Reformer there is, who would be glad to neutralise his vote, by throwing it away upon a candidate that will not be returned, and cannot, in any event, keep a seat in the House. 'So supported, Mr. O'Connor, if he perseveres in his present purpose, may have the satisfaction of doing much damage to the cause of a popular Government. But should he suc ceed in Zefeating Mr. Ball, and returning- Mr. Bagwell, he may be justly delivered over to public contempt, as the Hunt of Ireland. I believe it would not be easy to send him further. The black physiognomies of our Irish Tories in high life, as they crept along the streets to church yesterday, told the news, long before the public in general had any ictimation of it, of the majority of forty-one ! Had it been Ash Wednesday, mortification and crosses could not have been more distinctly imprinted on their brows. It is quite clear that they know now the full and final fate of their last trump card—that knave of clubs—which they dispatched 111‘Ghee and O'Sullivan to deal out for them. His Majesty is said to have been very cordial to Mr. O'Connell, when he accompanied, as one of the deputa:ion, the mover and seconder of the House of Commons Address on Saturday.. Lord John Scott left the Duke of Buceleuch's, Montague House, on Saturday, fur the North. His Lord ship's marrilga to Miss Spottiswoode, sister to Lady Flume Campbell, is expected to take place early next month. In consequence of illness in his family, Mr. Otway Cave has paired off with Sir Francis Holyoke Goodryche for ten days. _ Lord Brougham, we rejoice to be informed, is much better, but no time is yet fixed for his return to town. His spi rits arc good, and he exercises daily. GLASGOW NOMINATION.—It is understood that the nomination will take place on Friday next, and in the event of a contest, of which there is little probability, the election will proceed on Monday, and terminate on that day. On Wednesday last the mortal remains of Lord Stowell were removed from his residence, Early Court, and consigned to the family vault in Sonning Church, in a manner corresponding with his elevated rank and station in society, followed by the distinguished members of his family, and a numerous company of the resident gentry of the neighbour hood. In this closing scene of his earthly career, the town of Reading manifested its deep-felt sympathy for the loss of a nobleman whose services to his country had been so eminently useful, and who had been so long connected with its local in terests, and who bad invariably supported its trade by a liberal expenditure, and relieved the indigent and afflicted, whenever an appeal was made to him, in a manner most efficient and kind.

BELL.—Reference has been made to the bad writing of the late eminent King's Counsel, John Bell. In reference to it he used facetiously to say, when asked what sort of a hand he thought he really wrote, that he had three sorts—one that he himself could read —one that his clerk could read—and one that neither he nor his clerk could. read. It certainly was most extraordinary writing —only paral leled by the late Dr. Parr's hieroglyphics. Mr. Bell retired many years ago from the Chancery Bar, but he lent his aid to the Chancery Law Commissioners. KING'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.) CONSPIRACY—THE KING t'. IZENsETT AND OTHERS. Sir W. FOLLETT (with whom were Mr. Starkie and Mr. Peacock), stated the case. The present was a most important case, both as regarded the nature of the offence, and the position, which the parties charged occupied in the parish of Marylebone. The defendants, with the exception of one, all held office in the parish. They were vestrymen elected under the provisions of an Act of Parliament, and one of them (Flood) is the assistant ves try-clerk. They were charged in the present indictment with having conspired together to defeat the provisions of the Reform Bill. They were charged with having put a number of fictitious claims upon the list of voters, for the purpose of introducing ficti tious votes for the county of Middlesex. The present defendan4 were elected by the ratepayers to fill the office of vestrymen. They went out one-third annually, and the whole body were renewed every three years. Whether that system worked well or not, was not new a subject for the consideration of the Jury. Of this, however, he was quite su-e, that from the proceedings that had taken place upon the present occasion, some of the persons so elected were not worthy to fill that office. They had the manage ment of the parish funds, and the regulation of the parochial affairs, and they ought to have dismissed from their minds all party motives, and should have regulated themselves in the discharge I of their of f icial duties, by no other rule than that of a wish to do good to the public. The present defendants allbelonged to one politicalparty, they were all supporters of one of the Members for the borough of Marylebone, and one of the Members for the county of Middlesex. It was necessary to state that much, although he (Sir W. Follett) felt that he was now addressing a Jury who were divested of all political feeling ; for although political feeling had mixed itself up in almost all the business of life, it had not yet found its way into the Jury-b ox . Th e J ury h a d, therefore, nothing to do with the political sentiments of the defendants, further than that the present charge was founded upon the circumstance of their having abused their power for political purposes • that they had not acted for the public good, b u t f or par t y , an d the sake of party. In order to make the nature of the offence intelligible, it was necessary that he should point out to the Jury the provisions of the Reform Bill, with which the defendants had tampered. They were aware, that un der it, very great power was entrusted to the overseers of the poor. They were authorised to make out lists, and had the power of ob jecting to parties ; and to them was entrusted the whole machinery of the Bill, previous to the revision of the lists. In the parish of Marylebone, Messrs. Harwood and Garrett held the office of over seers of the poor, and although they belonged to a particular politi cal party, according to his instructions, they did not in any way concur in the present disgraceful act. Very great power was, un doubtedly, placed in the hands of the overseers, but to guard against any misconduct or abuse of it, they were liable to a penalty of five hundred pounds. So far the interests of the public were protected by the Act, but in the palish of Marylebone, the offence charged had not been committed or countenanced by the overseers : it was the act of persons holding office in the parish, in whOm there was no authority of the kind vested. By the 37th section of the Act, the overseers were directed to make a list of the voters for the county, and to give notice to all persons entitled to vote to send in their names. These claims must be sent in pre vious to the 20th July, and the overseers were then to make out the lists, with the Christian and surname, place of residence, and ground of claim to vote. They had also the power to write the words " Objected to" against the name of any person on the list, and then to cause the list to be affixed to the doors of the parish church, and to keep a copy for public inspection. By that arrange ment, all persons either having the right of voting, or claiming to have that right, had the power of inserting their names on the list. The overseers were then directed, by the 40th section, to send a copy of the lists to the High-constable and the Clerk of the Peace, and he was to produce the lists signed by the overseers be fore the Revising Barrister. No power was vested in any other person, either to strike out or put in any name upon the list. In the vestry of the parish of Marylebone there was a very great pre ponderance of one political party, and the substance of the offence charged against certain members of that body, was this:—They came to a resolution, " That a Committee be appointed to assist the overseers in making out the elective lists for the parish, for the year 1835." That Committee was appointed, under the pretence of assisting the overseers, and he (Sir William Follett) did not mean to say that, if they had been appointed with a bona fide view to investigate claims, there would have been any thing wrong in it, but the Jury would shortly see that it was not for the purpose of assisting the overseers, but to promote the views of a particular party. That resolution had been pro posed by Mr. Kensett, one of the defendants, and on the next meeting of the vestry Mr. Robinson, who is an attorney, and also of the defendants, proposed a Resolution—" That no person be al lowed to copy from the rate books, and that agreeably to the 32d section of the Vestry Act, no person be allowed to inspect the books of the Vestry, unless he or she be a rate-payer, or a creditor of the parish." That was an ille,al resolution, for as the right of voting depended upon the rating, every rate-payer was entitled to inspect and copy from the rate books, and although such a proceed , ing was not sanctioned by the Act of Parliament, the vestry passed the resolution. Mr. Haywood, the Overseer, then received a let ter from the defendant Flood, who was the Assistant Vestry Clerk, calling upon him to attend the so appointed Committee, and to as ' sist in revising and preparing the lists. Mr. Harwood, however, remained in the Court House until the 20th of July, for the greater part of every day, and there received the claims of all persons who chose to send them in. , During that time he received 134 claims to vote for Members for the county, and these clauses were handed by him to the defendant, Flood, the Assistant Vestry Clerk. There was then a meeting of the Committee, at which Mr. Harwood was present, and the defendant, Kensett, commenoed writing opposite the names of several of the claimants objected to, although he had no legal authority to do so, and was at length stopped by Mr. Harwood. On the 24th of uly the lists were signed by the Over seers, Harwood and Garnett, and after that time no alteration or act- , - dit.ion could be legally made to them, and now began the contrivance of the defendants. The defendants, who were Messrs. William Kens.tt, George Glazier, Henry Stewart, Robinson, Flood, the Vestry Clerk, and Daird, a printer, were all implicated in the transaction. They discovered, on looking over the lists, that their party had not so great. a preponderance as they wished, and set about to get in an additional number of names upon the list for their party. What were they to do? In the first place the day had gone by. In the second place, there were no free holders to put in claims ; but neither of these obstacles stopped them. Their first object was to create votes—there was a burial-ground in the parish, which, under an old Act of Parlia ment, was vested in the vestrymen of the parish. It struck Mr. Kensett and Mr. Robinson, the lawyer, that they might create votes out of this burial-ground. There were 120 vestrymen in the parish, and their notion seemed to b 2, that each of these had a right to vote in respect of that burial- ground. No rational or sensible man could entertain so absurd an idea ; but as there were many gentlemen of the vestry not of their party, and many who would not have countenanced such a proposition, they resolved to select those only who had a strong political feeling on their side, or, as Mr. Kensett would be proved to have expressed it, " Those of-the right stamp." And, accordingly, 42 vestrymen were singled out, who, in the opinion of the defendants, would• form a very judicious addi tion to the list of voters. They imagined that if they could in troduce these 42 names into the lists previously signed by the overseers, they would escape detection and run no risk of their being objected to. They attempted to make the overseers party to that scheme, and on the 28th of July, eight days after the claims could have been legally sent in, Messrs. Kensett, Glazier, and Stewart go to the overseer Harwood, and ask him to allow them to intro duce these forty-two names. Mr. Harwood acted as a person holding such a situation ought to have done—he said he would have nothing to do with it—that he would not allow it or counte nance it. It was represented to him that their party would be benefitted by it ; th at th ey were p ersons o f " th e right stamp," but Harwood was firm. He said he had a public duty to perform ; that he was responsible to the public, and could not countenance such a fraud. . They pressed him further, and intimated that there were certain offices at the disposal of the vestry, any of which he could have; but he still refused. These applications were made mere than once—they also applied to Mr. Garnett, but to no pur pose. What then was to be done ?—the overseers would be no party to the fraud, but the defendants were still determined to in troduce the forty-two names. They went to Daird, who was a member of the Committee ' and he in order to assist his party, con sented, with ou t th e authority of the overseers, to print a list having these forty-two names fraudulently introduced, and having the names of the overseers affixed thereto. These lists were affixed to the Church-doors of the parish in the room of the original lists, and the question was what had become of that list made out by the overseers, of which they should have kept a copy. The list was given by Harwood to Flood, by whom it was given to Kensett, and was not afterwards heard of. When the lists were brought before the Revising Barrister, ho asked for the original list signed by the overseer. The overseers are examined, and they stated that that was not the original list—that it contained names not on the list. Flood stated that he had given the original list to Kensett, and Kensett declined to answer any question. It would be proved that the proof-sheet of the list was seen at the Court house in the hands of Flood. The sums of one shilling each on the original 134 names were lodged in the bank to the credit of the parish, and Flood contrived to lodge the additional sum of 425. for the 42 surreptitious names in the bank in the very same way. Al though all these precautions had been taken, it appeared that the trick did not succeed—it had been discovered, or probably these fictitious voters would be to-day upon the list : that, however, did not render the fraud less criminal, for the contrivance of the de fendants had been to effect it. He would show that all the defendants were implicated in the transaction ' and that Ro binson actually appeared before the Revising Barrister, and said that he was instructed to appear in support of their claims. He was satisfied that his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, would not attempt to vindicate such conduct ; every one, whatever his political feelings or bias might be, was interested in the proper working of the Reform Bill , now that it wa s the law of the land : and above all, every one was interested in the proper discharge of public duties by public officers. If the facts were proved as he had stated them, he had no doubt that the Jury must find the defendants guilty. The Attorney-General appeared for the defendants, Flood and Daird ; Mr. Hill and Mr. C. Phillips for Kensett and Glazier ; and Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Cobbett, and Mr. Thompson for Stewart. The defendant Robinson appeared in person. Mr. Greenwell, vestry - clerk of the parish, was examined by Mr. STARKIE. He produced the vestry books, and therefrom read the resolutions agreed upon by the vestry, as stated by the Counsel in his opening . speech. The documents for the p a y ment of 6/. 14s. 2s. into the bank of Sir C. Scott and Co. were endorsed County Claims," and were in th e handwriting of the defendant, Flood. The witness was cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL as to the appointment of similar Committees in former years, but knew nothing of these having been appointed. Flood's duty was to obey the orders of the ♦estry. Daird merely printed what he was paid for. The witness knew nothing of the Loyal and Constitu tional Association of the parish of Marylebone. Cress-examined by Mr. HlLL—Persons who were not rate payers attempted to take copies of the rate-books, and he be lieved that was why the resolution was passed by the vestry. Th e vestry had the making, collection, and management, of the rates. The Burial-ground at St. John's Wood contained six acres, for which the parish had paid 6001. per acre. There was a chapel built in it, which cost the parish 30,000/. The income from it was upwards of 1,0001. per annum. There was also a stone yard at Lisson-grove, which is very valuable. The witness was then examined by Mr. CLAItKSON, but nothing material was elicited. Cross-examined by the defendant Robinson—There are 120 ves trymen, and the parish property is vested in them. The burial ground and stone-yard are parish property. The vestry manages all the affairs of the parish except the poor. Th ,, affairs of the poor are managed by the directors and guardians, who are ap pointed by the vestry, and by whom the money is voted weekly. The overseers are selected by the Magistrates from a list furnished by the vestry. I hardly know what the overseers do.—(A laugh. ) They obey the orders of the directors and guardians—they neither receive nor pay money, nor keep accounts. On the 4th July there were 62 vestrymen present. There are about 12,000 rate-payers. The overseers could not make out the list of voters for the borough of Marylebone without the assistance of the 'vestry and its officers, the number of voters being so many. Witness Mr. ROBINSON wished to put some further question to the wit ness, which was overruled by the Court. Mr. Mortimer, from the office of the county of Middlesex, had ‘ 6 .4", 1 7 eZked the list of voters for the county of Middlesex in 1833, 34, ana. 33. In the list for the borough of Marylebork; i;1 1833, he did not see the name of Thomas Alsop, of Edmund Archer, or Artud Williams. Charles Wright, of the office of the Clerk of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, produced the revised list of the freeholders of the county of Middlesex. Mr. Harwood resided in the parish of Marylebone, and was over seer there. Mr. Garnett was the other overseer. They both tilled the office at the time of the preparation of the last list of voters. Gave notice to the voters two Sundays previous to the first day of July. Had claims to vote to the amount of one hundred and thirty-four, which he gave in to the Vestry Clerk. Was not aware that a Committee had been appointed to assist the Overseers, till he received a letter requesting him to attend it. He attended the committee in consequence. Mr. Kensett acted as chairman, but he could not recollect whether Mr. Robertson was. Mr. Stewart was there ; Mr. Flood was also there. The claims were there also on two files. Mr. Kensett took the chair without any motion being made for that purpose. He took one of the lists of claims, and wrote against one of the " names objected to"—this the witness would not allow, and took the lists from him, and struck out the words he had written. Afterwards was ordered to make out the list of all claims, which he did. He afterwards prepared a list of the voters, which was placed on the church doors signed by himself and brother overseer. Mr. Kensett wrote on that list to several names, in red ink, " Objected to." The list, after being signed, was left with Mr. Flood, in order that it might be printed. Never saw the original list afterwards. The names interlined were not in the list when he gave it to Mr. Flood. This was the first time he had seen the paper since. Had asked Mr. Flood for it at the re quest of Mr. Coventry, who stated that he did not know what had become of it, but admitted he had seen it in Mr. Kensett's hands. Mr. Kensett was asked by Mr. Coventry where the list was, when he informed that gentleman the last time he had seen it was on the vestry table. Did not make any inquiry himself at Mr. Kensett about the list. Recollected seeing Messrs. Kensett, Glazier, and Stewart, on July 28. Saw the two former in the vestry-room together. Mr. Kensett said they had been to his house, as there was property un represented in the parish. He said there were claims which he wished witness to accept. Witness said, why had the parties not t in their claims ? to which he re p lied, it was an after-thou g ht. Witness asked if they had acquainted Mr. Garnett with it, and, on being answered in the negative, he asked the reason, when they said they had more confidence in him. Witness would have no thing to do with them, when Mr. Kensett said it was a pity as they had 42 of the right sort, and offered him the best situation in the parish if he would put their names on the list. • He left the room, refusing to do anything, when all three followed him. Witness tried to get rid of them, and ran across the street, when Mr. Glazier followed him. He afterwards went to the house of Miles. He there saw Kensett and Glazier, but no thing passed between them. They supped there, and wanted witness to depart with them, which he refused, as he was glad he was safely seated in a friend's house. Witness received a letter from Flood, recommending the payment of the additional shilling that had been received by him to be paid into the Bank. Witness said he had received no additional shilling. Afterwards saw Mr. Ken sett, who said he had some money for him. Witness said he owed him none, and would not receive it. Afterwards saw Mr. Flood at a Vestry, taking off a list of the names of those who were inter lined. Believed the word " claimed" to be Mr. Kensett's writing. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Had never been examined by any attorney previous to coming into the box. Had resided in Marylebone 20 years. Never held any parish office before, and did not know how the lists had been made out in former years. Never made any complaint of a Committee being formed to assist him. Witness agreed to some of the objections made to the voters by the Committee, and disagreed with others. Mr. Flood made out the list, under the directions of the Committee and myself. When it was proposed to add names to the list, there was no objection made to tell the names. All that knew that their number was 42, and that they claimed to vote as Vestrymen and Trustees for the stone-yard and burying-ground. The list, with the 42 names, was put on the Church doors on the 2d and 9th of August. Did know, on the Friday previous, that the list was to be put up on the Sunday. Knew that it was to be put up with his name, and that of Mr. Garnett. Did not order any other list to be put up. Had no doubt in the week between the 2d and 9th of August that the list had been put on the Church door on the 2d of August. Knew after the 9th of August that the list. had been put up again on that day. Objections came in to five of the names in the list afterwards. Witness would not say that it was notorious that the forty-two ves trymen were added to the list. It had been stated to him that it was all right for him to sign it ' • that they were forty-two of the right sort. Did net recollect that it had been stated to him that vestrymen freeholders had a right to vote. Had heard that question argued before Mr. Coventry, but had not heard it argued in the parish. He had heard a great many debates there—(Laughter)— but had not heard that debated. By Mr. HlLL—There were objections to the county votes after the 24th, which were printed. When the 42 names were asked to be added, he judged that they were vestrymen. Witness always had an invitation at Mrs. Mills' to supper, but had no particular appointment at the time the conversation took place. Should not have called at Mrs. Mills', had it not been for the importunities of Kensett and Glazier, who insulted him in the Court-house and in the street likewise. He supped with them at Mrs. Mills', although he strongly objected himself to do so—telling the maid to take away the cloth, as he would not take supper there. —(Laughter.) The witness, after being pressed, said he supped there, but did not take knife or fork.—(Great laughter.) He ul timately explained this to mean that he did not take away his neigh bour's knife and fork, but had used his own.—( Great laughter. ) Had expressed great surprise to several persons at the forty two names being put on the list ; but had never given any orders to the printer to put them out. Afterwards, being very thirsty, went to the Horse and Groom, where he saw O'Neil and several others. His brother overseer came in when he told him what had taken place—that 42 persons had been added to the list. None that were there said the Reform Act gave s a t p t c o n o a k lt a y ow of n s7ll. c ag i i e n n s , t .e ov f e o r r se t f i r e s at acted his wthroe7vitneAsi:i house. By Mr. CLARKSON—Left Mrs. Mills about half-past eleven o'clock. Supped up stairs in a. public room, where gentlemen sat and smoked cigars ; but no person was there that night but those he had already mentioned. Had cold roast beef, mustard, pickles, and bread and cheese, for supper.—(Great ) There was, besides, on the table, pepper and salt.—(lncreased laughter.)

Towards the close of last year, it was understood in the circles of fashion that a certain Viscount, heir to an Earl dom, was to be united to the beautiful daughter of a Baronet. It is now rumoured that the marriage is postponed, if not broken off entirely. We understand that Mr. Hawes, the Member for Lambeth, with a deputation of architects, competitors, for re building the new Houses of Parliament, waited on Lord Dun cannon, by appointment, yesterday, to ascertain from his Lord ship whether Government would allow the use of certain apartments in the National Gallery for the purpose of exhibit ing all the designs that had been submitted to his Majesty's Commissioners. The proposition, we believe, was favourably received, as far as regarded the use of the National Gallery to the purposes of the exhibition ; but his Lordship deferred giving any answer with respect to the four plans of the suc cessful competitors being permitted by Government to be ex hibited with the rest. Mr. Hawes postponed the presentation of the architects' petition to the House of Commons, with the hope, we presume, of obtaining a favourable answer. We trust the architects will press the prayer of their petition.— Morning Paper. Yesterday information was given at the different Police Offices that about half-past eleven o'clock on the night of the 26th ult. a rick of wheat, the produce of twelve acres, upon the premises of Ashurst Majendie, Esq., of Hedingharn Castle (Chairman of the Halstead Union,) was set fire to and destroyed. A reward of 2001. has been offered for the ap prehension of the party or parties concerned, one hundred of which will be paid by the Lords of the Treasury and the other sum by the Guardians of the Halstead Union. SAWING EXTRAORDINARY.—The following sur prising feat was performed by two men in six successive days, named Daniel Hughes and William Thompson, his mate, em ployed by Messrs. Paul and Son, timber-merchants, Golden square. They cut upwards of 3,000 feet, superficial measure, of pine board, the width being nearly two feet. The amount paid them for this was upwards of six pounds. In order to perform this most extraordinary task they made 248,544 per pendicular motions, with a saw and frame weighing 301bs. ; they must, therefore, have lifted the immense weight of 7,456,3201b5. This is not making any allowance for the strength necessary to draw the saw through the wood, which must require a triplefold amount, so that the quantity of strength required to accomplish the feat would not be less than equal to 22,368,9601h5. weight. OUTRAGE.—At Ipswich Theatre ]ast week, some disgraceful conduct, occasioned by drunkenness, occurred. A decanter was thrown on the stage near to one of the actresses, who escaped unhurt, although the, decanter was dashed into a thousand pieces. GEItIVIAN PAPERS. DARMSTADT, JAN. 27.—The 'death of our Grand Duchess, which is so severe and a icting to the Grand Duke and his family, has Dkowise excited extfaerdinary regret in the whole coun try. Her I'1?yal Highness was a remarkably tall fine figure, and appearea likely to live to a very great age, but was only 47 years, 4 months, and 17 days old, when she was so sud denly taken away. She was born on the 10th uf September, 1783, and was one of the daughters of the venerable Mar grave Charla Louis of Baden, and the Princess Amelia (of Hesse Darmstadt, sister to the late Grand Duke Louis I). Her sisters were the late Empress Elizabeth of Rus,:ia, Fre derica, Queen of Sweden, the Queen Dowager' of Bovaria, and the Duchess Maria of Brunswick Odes, Consort of the Duke of Brunswick. who fell at Quatre Bras, and mother . of the present Duke William of Brunswick, and his elder bro ther Duke Charles, who left his dominions in consequence of an insurrection. In the 16th year of her age (June 19, 1804) she married the Hereditary Prince, afterwards the Grand Duke Louis 11. In the 32nd year of this most happy mar ' riage she had four children—the Hereditary Prince Louis (born 1806), Prince Charles (1809), and the younger chil dren, Prince Alexander (1823), and Princess Mary (1824), to whose education she devoted all her care, and for whom the loss of such a mother is irreparable. VIENNA, JAN. 25.—M. Mimart, the French Consul intended for Jassy, has arrived here on his way to that place. It seems that the attention of the diplomatic body is at this time espe cially directed to the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Though the speech of Queen Maria da Gloria of Portugal, at the opening of the session of the Cortes, in what relates to the religious affairs of the kingdom and the manner in which the Pope is spoken of, differ very materiallyfrom the measures of her father, it is not believed here that the intercourse with Rome will be soon restored. Neither is it believed that an Ambassador from our Court will be sent to Lisbon for the present. The Prince of Saxe Coburg has not contoacted the marriage as a subject of our Emperor, but as the :ion of a Sovereign Prince of Germany. He has, therefore, as it' seems, no duties, but at the same time no rights in the Austrian States. His second brother, Prince Augustus , is now the heir of the family in Austria.—Frankfort Paper, Feb. 3. ST, PEPERSBURG, JAN. 23.—The Commercial Journal pub lished in the German language, by the Board of Foreign Trade, contains a remarkable article in praise of the commer cial policy of Russia. In consequence of the principles that have been adopted, a very evident increase of the wealth of the nation has taken place in the last ten years, though three ex pensive wars have been carried on during that period, besides a general failure of the crops in almost the whole e mpire. Among other proofs of this increasing prosperity, may be ad duced the fact that the quantity of the precious metals in circu lation has increased in a proportion surpassing all expectations. It is a matter of daily experience that the circulation of the precious metals has now extended to the lower classes of the peo ple, who formerly were obliged to make shift with small copper coin, and these metals are now in general circulation to a degree that they never were during the last century. It is important to know whence this ample accession of precious metals came, and through what department of the Adminis tration. It appears frorn the official returns— !. That in 11 years, 1824 to 1834 (both inclusive), the quantity of gold and silver imported amounted to the sum ea 296,911,771 roubles ; and the quantity exported in the same period 48,373,477 roubles ; difference, 248,538,294 roubles, in Bank assignats. 11. The value of gold and platina obtained from the mines of the Ural in the same period, was Gold, Roubles 163,280,000 Platina 8,999,712 Total.. 172,279,712 248,538,294 Add imported Total Roubles 420,818,006 for the increased amount of the precious metals in circulation proceeding from the above-mentioned two sources, or reckon ing the roubles in Bank assignats, at 10g., as the average rate of exchange during that period, about 18,375,0001. sterling. N.B. 10,000 poods of silver from the mines of Attai ii these ten years are not included. It may be also observed, that since 1834 a very considerable quantity of gold has been obtained by gold washing in some parts of the Ural Mountains. For the instruction of the nation in various branches of po litical economy, the following journals have been commenced and continued during the same period, under the direction of the Minister of Finance :-Ist. The Commercial Journal, in Russian, German ; 2. The Mining JoUrnal, Russian ; 3. Journal of Manufactures and Inland Trade, Russian; 4. Journal of Forests, Russian ; 5. Agricultural Journal, Rus sian ; 6. Many thousand copies of instructions on Agricultu ral subjects, printed in the Russian language, and distributed among the country people. —Swabian Mercury, Feb. 5.

DEATH OF MADAME SHROEDER DEVRIENT Private letters from Vienna, received yesteaday, confirm th e news of the death a t th a t c i ty, on t h e 26th of January l as t, 01 the celebrated cantatrice, Madame Shroeder Devrient. The nature of the disease which led to this melancholy event is not stated. It cannot but be received with deep regret by the musical world. Fidelio has died with her. The exterior of the Italian Opera House appears to great advantage since it has been newly painted, and the interior is now undergoing a corresponding improvement. The ornamental part and the parapets of the boxes are to be re freshed, and the whole of the audience part of the theatre will have a grand and brilliant effect. George Jackson, the policeman with whom the clerk was involved who absconded with property from the house of Messrs. 'Ashley, the bankers, has been apprehended in Phila delphia, and has confessed his guilt. The property, it is ex pected, will be recovered. We regret to say that the Lady Catherine Caven dish is seriously indisposed at Latimers, the seat of her husband, the Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish, M.P. Her LadyshiP is the eldest daughter of the Earl of Aboyne, and was united in 1814 to the second son of the first Earl of Burlington, uncle to the present Duke of Devonshire. The disturbances in Ireland are like those of old in Scotland—not produced by any peculiar creed, but by human nature itself. (ADVERTISEMENT.) W A TCHES. BROAD, Watchmaker, Deceased. T.
