A discussion took place last night on Mr. Duncombe's 2no tion for a Committee of Inquiry respecting the statutes which empower a Minister of State to open letters passing through the General Post-office. The interest which the House took in the matter is not confined to the walls of Parliament ; it is looked upon as one of personal application, as well as of public importance—as involving considerations of private comfort and security, not less than of national character and constitutional privileges; and those who took part in the dis cussion of last night seemed to be fully aware of the atten tion with which it is likely to be regaided by the constituent bodies of the kingdom. For our own parts, we have already expressed our opinion with tolerable candour upon the con duct which has provoked complaints and petitions. That opinion remains unaltered. We believe that State necessity alone warrants the occasional exercise of a power which habitual toleration would make arbitrary, vexatious, and op pressive. The privilege of opening private letters—in other words, of violating confidence—is one which it would require some eloquence, and more sophistry, to reconcile to English notions and English habits. It is, perhaps, the most odious privilege with which a British Minister could be entrusted. It offends the pride of individuals ; it does more, it rouses a jealousy for the liberty of the subject. It is one which should be used very seldom; and then only with extreme caution and the most tender moderation. But still, even under a consti tutional Government, and among a people keenly alive to the slightest infringement of their civil rights, it is not un- . wisely reserved as a defensive instrument against the Machinations of intrigue and the plots of sedition. In every state there are times when danger may be apprehended from sudden tumults and secret conspiracies; and often where alarm is not felt for outbreaks at home there may be reason to suspect the residence of foreign conspirators and designing exiles—men who make the land of their adoption the point from which they may best assail the hind of their birth and their former crimes. In the first of these cases domestic policy, in the second the unwritten compact of international obligations, necessitates the adoption of measures which nothing • but emergency could justify. In both of them, however, the vigour which is beyond the constitution may be the best upholder of the constitution. It is far better that one or two dozen letters should be opened than that the nation should be shocked and its character sullied by some madbrained tumult or some monstrous outrage on the persons of distinguished foreigners visiting in the character, and entitled to the immunities of guests. So far, then, we differ from those who de claim against the existence of such a power. But we agree with them when, as in this instance, they say that not only ought it to be exercised with discretion, but also that the cause of its exercise ought to be fully explained and justified. The constitution of this realm wisely challenges examination and discussion for every other act of Ministerial authority. Why should the most unusual and the moet ob noxious be permitted to pass unscrutinized and unexplained? Yet this is the striking feature in the present case. Mr. Mazzini's letters—no fewer than seventy—have been de tained and examined at the Post-office before they reached his hands. Of Mr. Mazzini we know nothing. Mr. Carlyle informs us that he has " a martyr-soul," and a great many other properties, perhaps more indicative of an heroic person age than a quiet citizen. Ile may be a restless, enthusiastic, • and, in the minds of certain Ministers, a dangerous man. But this is no reason why he should be treated worse than the inmate of a felon's dungeon. His political vagaries and his political zeal cannot palliate conduct at which Peachunt would have blushed, and Lock it have cried "Shame!" If he was suspected of carrying on a treasonable or seditious correspondence with foreigners in this country, or foreigners abroad, it might surely have been left for Lord Lowther or Lord Aberdeen to intimate to him that his movements were watched, and his letters would be examined. This mode of proceeding would have been strong and severe; but it would also have been honest, manly, open; and, on explanation, might have been justified by the emergency of the case. But, instead of such a proceeding, in steps Sir James Gra • ham and takes the whole management of the matter into his hands ; simply, we suppose, because it required to be treated with the greatest delicacy, the most consummate moderation, and by one who enjoyed fully the confidence of all men and all parties. Sir J. 'Graham—with the " great. Mutt case" staring him in the face—Sir J. Graham, who was taunted with having opened the letters of several Mem bers of the House—Sir J. Graham, who, whatever he had to do, was sure to do it in the most offensive and arbitrary way —why, if there had been the strongest a priori reasons in the world for opening Mr. Mazzini's letters, they would all have been neutralized by the official interference of the Home Secretary. Had Lord Aberdeen, on the remonstrance of some friendly power, felt it his duty to examine a sus pected correspondence, some people might have murmured at the arbitrariness of the act ' • none would have censured the motives of the agent. Lord Aberdeen's public character is known ; it is, therefore, respected, and his actions would be construed fairly and favourably. Sir J. Graham's public character is equally well known, lout we cannot append the same inference of opinion to any action in which lie is mixed up. But the best commentary on the conduct of Sir J. Graham is supplied by the division of last night. 162 Mem bers voted for the Committee of Inquiry, 206 against it ; thus giving the Home Secretary a majority of onl y 44 on a question which really went to determine his fitness for con tinuing to hold the seals of his department one day longer. We wish him joy of his majority; and we trust that Minis ters will learn from this division how dangerous a thing it is to intrust extraordinary powers to a colleague whose acts and whose character, instead of inspiring confidence in the goodness of his intentions, never fail to excite suspicion, jealousy, and alerm.— Times. THE LATE DIVISION. TO 'I lIE EDITOR OF THE MORNINC: Sir,—The votes of certain free-traders who suppovted the! Government on Monday night last against Mr. amenclawet have been the subject of severe animadvert ion in I the columns of your paper. There has been much inisre presentation, and, I trust, unintentional sophistry in those comments. The conduct of public men is fair matter for comment or controversy; but political polemics need. not altogether eschew the maxims of political morality. " A Thorough Free-Trader" in your paper of SatuedrY, undertakes in a letter addressed to Mr. Cobden, to " riudica to his principles," from the charge of "impracticability,r whit h that gentleman, he says, has for a moment stamped upo them by his vote on the sugar duties. To vindicate a prim • ciple from the charge of " impracticability," would seem to require some relation between the arguments used, and the• particular mode in which that principle was sought to :5e ap plied. But throughout the lengthy letter of this " Thoneugle Free Trader," there is not a single attempt made to connect the purpose of the letter with the principle of fr,ee trade. It is, from beginning to end, a tissue of special plead ings, irrelevant pretexts, and a most uncandid substitution of technical forms for practical realities. 'The fair and only question which this " Thorough Free Trader" had to consider, in reference to that debate, was simply whether or not Mr. Miles's amendment proposed to give more or less protection to the West India planters than the measure of the Govern ment. That was the question. There was no other before the House. Not a speech was made on either side, during the Friday or Monday nights' debate, which did not altogether proceed upon this assumption. There was no shifting of the question at issue upon a mere technical form. It was a direct and acknowledged division, on both occasions, for or against-31r. Miles's amendment. It will not do to plead the letter of a mere form against the spirit of a direct purpose. To place the issue on any other grounds than the express and avowed conviction of every man who took a part in the dis cussion, is an uncandid paltering with the common sense of the community, and an attempt to salve sensitive con sciences into a quibbling acquiescence with suspected fraud. The " character of impracticability," which your corres pondent says Mr. Cobden has stamped on the principles of free trade, requires a little more explanation at the hands of a " Thorough Free-Trader" to make his meaning clear. It is one of those phrases which men sometimes use to reconcile party purposes with the practical repudiation of recognised principles. Had Mr. Cobden thought more of displacing a Government than advancing a great principle—had the free traders thought less of free trade, and more of the chances that political anarchy might' have thrown up for political speculators—they would not have been charged with stamp ing the principles of free trade with " impracticability," but would have been hailed as the patriots of party, purchasine political reputation by repudiating past professions and avowed avowed principles. A" Thorough Free-Trader"says the vote on Friday:night was simply as to whetherthe old sugar duties should or should not be continued till July the sth. That the technical forms of the House necessitate such a proposition as preparatory to the introduction of certain modifications of an old law, to be afterwards introduced, is undeniable • but can any man, without a gross preference for subterfuge over plain dealing, maintain that in that proposition was not con , tained, or held to be contained by the whole house, the sanction or rejection of the general scale of duties proposed by the Go vernment, in contradistinction to the sanction or rejection cf the duties specifically stated in Mr. Miles's amendment ? Was there any doubt in the public mind, or real difference of opinion in the House, as to the consequences involved in the division ? Did the almost fanatical cheers that followed the announcement of the majority against the Government, on Friday night, proclaim or not that the amendment of Mr. Miles had been virtually carried ? Look to the newspapers of the next day. What was the announcement made by every one of them, without exception, to the public? Why, that Mr. Miles's amendment had been carried against the Government. In face of these facts it is an idle attempt to defend ' policy against principle, when the mere forms of the House—in contradistinction to the known consequences which they involved—are raked up for the purpose of complicating and mystifying to the simple apprehensions of the public a plain question of more or less protection to the West India monopolists. A "Thorough Free-Trader" goes into some lengthy animadversions on the conduct of Mr. Cobden, for not voting on Monday night for the 20s. duty on colonial produce propssed by Mr. Miles, and then reserving to himself the right of moving the rejection or modification of the 345. duty on foreign sugar at some future stage of the proceedings. That, he says, was the proposition then really before the House. Does this " Thorough Free-Trader" honestly believe this ? Can lie believe it ? Had not a distinct vote been previously taken on the question of differential duties ? Had not Mr. Ewart, supported by Mr. Cobden and the free-traders, proposed an equalization of duty on all sugars, foreign and colonial, and had not that proposition been negatived by a large ma jority? The only question the free-traders could have originated had been disposed of; an equalization of the duties had been been rejected; and as no free-trader could consist ently originate any motion recognizing the principle of differential duties, their business, and their sole business, was to make the nearest possible approximation to their own prin ciples, by supporting the measure that gave less protection to the colonies, in opposition to that which practically proposed to give them a great deal more. The "Thorough Free- Trader" agrees with Mr. Cobden " in preferring the measure of Sir Robert Peel to that of .21.1 r Wiles ; but then he aseerts, " that neither of those series of to odDrications was under discus sion." What was under discussion ? Why, he says, the 20s. duty on colonial sugar propoSed by Mr. Miies ; and he professes honestly to believe, that no other con sequences were involved in that vote than the simple diminution of the duty - on West India sugar from 245. to 20s. the cwt. Now, is this a fair or candid statement ? It was open, be says, to Mr. Cobden to have moved -;;;;, amendment he pleased when the 345. differential duty came under discussion. That such a course was open to Mr. Cob den, or any other free-trader, is unquestionable; but what was the real position of affairs in the House at that time? Mr. Evart had already movedfor an equalisation of the duties on all sugars. . That motion had b een re j ec t e d by a large majority. Who composed that majority? The monopolists of every section, whether Whig or Tory. What peculiar grounds, then, for confidence, had the free-trade party, under such circumstances, in the representatives of the late Go vernment? They had preciously voted with the monopolists to reject Mr. Ewart's motion, and they were at that very mo ment in strict alliance with the most bigoted and extreme section of the protectionists, to uphold a measure which "the Thorough Free-Trader" himself admits was worse than that of the Government. What would have been the position of the free-traders, had they voted with the Whigs? One of two consequences must have ensued. Either the Govern ment would have surrendered their measure, or they would have retired from office. In either case, the present prohi bitory duty on foreign sugar would have remained precisely as it is, without modification or amendment. Had Sir Ro bert Peel resigned, does any man believe that any possible combination of parties could have re-constructed a Govern ment on a more liberal basis, either economically or politically, than that which had been overthrown? Would the Whig party have attempted to form a Government? If they had, what would have been the fate or policy of such an administra tion ? Would a dissolution of Parliament, at the present moment, have given them any additional strength ? Possibly some accession to the numbers of the " thorough free traders" might have resulted from such an experiment; but the Whigs, as a party, would probably have found them selves as powerless as before. Under such circumstances, what hope could the free-traders have entertained of consis tently advancing their principles by any wild and objectless renunciation of the practical advantages that were before them? There was little in that debate to inspire confidence in the party leaders on either side. Nothing to justify the fres-traders in promoting a transference of official power, by voting against their own principles. Throughout that debate the sole object of the so-called leaders of the Liberal party had appeared to be, to bid for monopolist sap port—by proclaiming themselves better monopolists than their opponents. Both Mr. Labouchere and the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Baring) distinctly avowed that their policy, when in power, had been to give more protection ' to the West India planters than that proposed by the Peel Ministry. It was the to quoque argument altogether— " Codlin's the friend—not Short." What have you gained, asked Mr. Baring on Friday night, pointing to the discon solate planters and Cesnservatives behind the Ministry— what have you gained by rejecting us and accepting Peel? Tfre promised you Its. differential duty—and a final measure. Your pet Minister gives you 10s, and transition ?" That cry was the main hearing of the debate. There was no great principle at issue between any of the real combatants in the strife. It is a hollow and unveiled sophism to assume that any other consequences were involved in the issue than the retention of a little more or less protection to the mono polists. The hot rancour of party has been stirred by the failure of close chances in what, at the best, can be regarded only as an aimless struggle for a fruitless and momentary triumph. But calm and reasoning men will look only to the plain and palpable merits of both sides of the real ques tion—and I, for one rejoice that the principles of free trade have suffered no contamination in this contest, by any eons. promise of honest conviction with the self-seeking plausibib ties of political expediency. One word more as to the political consequences said to b e involved in this division. Your correspondent terminates his letter to Mr. Cobden by asserting "that the free-traders have saved from annihilation a Government which tramples freedom under its feet in Ireland The instant," he says, " a rumour reached Ireland of its destruction, there was almost a uni versal jubilee. O'Connell released, the wishes of the Irish considered, justice obtained for Ireland, the termination of the Orange rule and of packed juries, instantly rose as visions full of hope to the Irish." Surely the " Thorough:Free-Trader " himself must have been dreaming when he penned the above p as sage, for a mere visionary disregard of plain and sober fact was never exhibited in waking hours. Let him turn from 'the division on Friday night to the state of parties upon Irish questions, only forty-eight hours before, as evi denced on the Wednesday night previous, on Mr. Ward' s motion for a Committee to inquire into the state of the Irish Church, and he will find a clear majority of 95 in favour of the Government. And this has been about the working ma jority of Ministers on all questions of Irish policy during the present Parliament. What there was in the heterogeneous combination of extreme protectionists and Liberals on Fri day or Monday night to reverse this majority, the vision of your correspondent does not seem to have disclosed. Such monstrous and most unfair attempts, however, to create in the sensitive minds of the Irish people an impression that the free-traders have been instrumental in retarding the recogni tion of their claims to justice must fail from its utter and transparent absurdity.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, June 22, 1844. A. W. PAIJLTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—From comments which have appeared in several of the public papers, an impression has been created that I pur posely abstained from voting on the Last division on Mr. Miler's amendment. I am anxious to explain the reason of my absence from that division. Not expecting any such important division coming on, I had made arrangements which required my absence from town, and was, therefore, unable on the second division to vote against the proposition of the Member for Bristol. I may, say, however, that I fully coincide in the view of the question taken by those free trade Members who supported thp Government, and regret exceedingly that I was not "TO THE EDITOR OF THE GLOBE. " SIR,--In your leading comments of Saturday and hesterday upon the debate on th e sugar dutiea, you ave conveyed the impression that, whilst Lord John Russell and his party were opposed to the exclusion of slave-labour sugar, the' free-traders who voted with the Government were supporters of that absurd discrimina tion. I trust you will, in fairness, permit me to inform your readers that Mr. Miles's amendment and the Government plan both excluded slave-grown sugar. So far from the free-traders having sanctioned the principle of distinguish ing between free and slave labour produce, you will find that they recorded their votes upon Mr. Ewart's motion iu favour of the equalisation of the duties upon all foreign and colonial sugars.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, 06fr Haas's tthh amendment`,rForwne "Free Tra deablest w c W o e n e d d itihrceatevotelfy gdi thosee v r e i n v de no n ftrlm support eptnobrewt defenceht o o M pu r t . " A. W. PAULTON." and we hav e conveye d no i mpress i on w i th regard to the as their only symb o l o f political union, except such as organ. That impression we may briefly reproduce as follows :—Those gentlemen say that their " only ac knowledgment of party compact is strictly bound up in the advancement of" the single principle of free trade. They assume the right, therefore, to ask no other question with regard to this Government measure than —whether the scale of duties proposed by Government or their opponents approach nearest to free trade. That right we should admit unreservedly, were no other considerations involved in this question. Were it a mere question of figures between two scales—were it I merely a question whether Sir Robert Peel's figures, ,or Mr. Miles's, should be preferred, we should not dis pu‘'e their preference. indeed, as matters stand, we shout.i hardly have thought it necessary to criticise their cliejee, if it were not put forward, with some con fidence, fbk - " the approbation and imitation of others." This is a tone and style which challenges animadver sion. We dispute altogether that a single commercial principle should guide all public action. We say that tie higher principles of national conduct are to at all risks, and on all occasions, and by every individual vote, vindicated ; and that, if those prin ciples are invaded by this Sugar Bill of the Government, no risk of inconvenience, from the possible event of delay in substituting something better for it, should have swayed the vote of a single man, who preferred his character as Englishman to any immediate interest as trader or consumer. If this language is strange to gentlemen, whose " only acknowledgment of party compact" is a principle of trade, we can only sky we are sorry for it. Our idea of conduct in national matters embraces trade certainly—but something more. Our idea of the duty of all men in all their votes upon this Sugar Bill is—that they should first ask themselves—not whether this or that figure of any scale is eligible for the present year—but whether this or that principle of national legislation is to confront the world as English. It is this which legislators have first to lay to heart, even before next year's consumption. A new principle is propounded to regulate our dealings with friendly . nations. Is it sound or vicious—calculated to maintain or lo wer cur national character—calculated to simplify or embarrass our relations with the great family of mankind ? We have not hesitated to say that any conceivable inconvenience of the moment is escaped too dearly by setting up a wrong principle in the face of all nations, simply to cover the retreat of the ruling party here from a false position. Even regarded in a solely commercial point of view, the adoption of such a p rinciple is stated by the able free-trade organ above alluded to, as calculated to give "just cause of offence and estrangement," and provoke mea sures of retaliation. Even, therefore, with sole re ference to immediate commercial interests, v'e deem this a good reason for resisting such m mea sure at every stage. But, we repeat, there are higher than immediate commercial interests, important as these are. There are higher than commercial reasons for giving no men " just cause of offence and es trangement." We contend that, neither in this nor in any case, involving national equity and fair dealing. is it the part of independent men to calculate whether their vote may be followed by this or that consequence of an inferior order to the considerations on which that vote is given. It is the duty of legislators to assert, by their every vote, the great principles of legislation. If those principles are infringed by this measure, that in fringement is the " great fact" which should swallow up lesser facts in the minds of those who are called upon t( represent England to the world. STANDARD.—In the Committee of the Mullis , of Lords upon the Bill for suppressing brothels, Earl 'Fitz hardiner'v, in the indulgence of that peculiar tas tel o f which he has given more than one proof, renew. ul his attack upon the Dean and Chapter of Westmi; aster, charging that venerable body with connivance a t the abuse to immoral purposes of several miserable tene ments held by lease under them. The Bisho p of Gloucester again very clearly demonstrated the the Dean and Chapter were in the matter guiltless ei ten of neglect, inasmuch as they had uniformly refus ed to renew leases to those wlio bad so infamously per. tertecl their property to the service of vice, and bought in the outstanding leases wherever they had the opport unity. That the Dean and Chapter had not waited fo r this receist rebuke in Parliament, the Right Rev. Lord proved by a reference to the lett e r of M r . H un t, th e i r sui • veyor . Whether it is Earl Fitzhardinge's purpose, in the course he takes, to protect brothels, or to asperse the clergy 'of tho Established Church, we are unable to conjecture.: But whatever may be the design of the Noble Earl, we think it possible that he may have been doing good unconsciously. Among other of his Lor invidious remarks, he stated that several nol and gentlemen had caused to be inserted in ly zilding leases a penal clause, providing that the applica 'ion of any house to be built upon the premises lease, I sh a ll work a forfeiture of the lease. These penal clans es are, we know, now very commonly inserted in Ist adding leases, but they are altogether a novelty ; there is pro bably not one lease in existence, forty years old, containing such a clause, and of course. even were the present Chapter of Westminster to he held responsible for the acts of their predecessors', - forty years ago, they can hardly be blamed .for not having thought of a measure of precaution that; at the time had never occurred to any one else. Th.! intro duction of these clauses is curious, and it is to. be ex plained by two causes. First, and most gratify:ing, the general improvement in morals, manners, antl tastes. Secondly, the change that has taken place in the system of building, which has given effect to the moral improvement in this manner. For merly houses were built singly ; recently they are built by streets, and even by collections of- streets. Now the builder of a single house, if morally indiffe rent, had no care whatever for his neighbours,. bet with the builder of a street or a collection of streets' it is dif ferent—the respectability of the neighbourhood which he is creating is a matter of great pecuniary importance to him. The presence of one or two disreputable houses in a street is known prodigiously to depreciate the value of all the other houses in that street, and, thus the most profligately regardless of public morals still feels the necessity of protecting his property from taint by the penal clauses of whicb we have spoken. In the case of old leases, however, a landlord, whether of one or more houses in a neighbourhood, is wholly without remedy, though his moral feeling may be outraged, and his pecuniary interest, too, injuriously affected by the abuse of his property. This we believe to be precisely the condition of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. Now the unconscious good for which we give Earl Fitzhardinge credit, is the placing the import ant subject of the Bishop of Exeter's Bill in this new and practically useful light. Whatever the Noble Earl and others like him may think of the obligation of the Legislature to guard the morals of the people, all will admit the duty of Parliament to protect property ; but property is, as we have intimated, enormously depreciated by the proximity of those infamous houses which the Bill of the Bishop of Exeter would suppress. Might not the Legislature wisely and justly interpose to protect property from suck depreciation by giving the authority of a general law to the principle of the penal clauses, of which mention. has been made ? What objection, for example, could there be to a provision added, to the Bishop of Exeter's Bill, to the effect, that a conviction of the tenant of any house for using such house as, &e., should operate as a forfeiture of his lease to hi s immediate lessor, and so upwards. This would be one of that best kind of laws, laws that execute themselves for the inhabitants of any neighbourhood disgraced an d. impoverished by oneof these abominable nuisances 'weak/ lose no time in effectually relieving themselves from it, after the law had supplied them with the means. We have not seen the Bill—it may, for anything we know, contain such a provision • but if it does nOt, that provision certainly ought to be added.

A young gentleman, known as Alexis the Somnambulist, has just arrived from Paris under the 'care of M. Alareellet, and was exhibited on Monday, for the first time (wc believe) in London, at the residence of Dr. Elliotson. Alexis has for some period excited much interest in Paris by the wonderful powers of clairvoyance which he manifests whilst in a state of magnetic sleep. Through the kindness of Dr. Elliotson a large number of ladies, and scientific and distinguished per sons, had an opportunity yesterday of witnessing M. Marcel let's experiments. It is but just to Dr. Elliotson to observe, that previously to the commencement of the experiment he stated that he did not hold himself at all responsible for what M. Marcellet had advanced. Knowing M. Marcellet to be a gentleman of undoubted respectability, Dr. Elliotson permitted him to hold his first levee in Conduit-street, taking no part what ever in the proceedings. Without admitting that we have be come believers in the possibility of producing such a condition as that known by the name of clairvoyance, we must, neverthe less honestly confess that we have been much staggered by what we saw after M. Marcellet had thrown his patient into the magnetic state, and exhibited the tetanic spasm or rigidity of the muscles of the arms and legs which usually accom panies this condition of the nervous system. Preparatory to the phenomena of clairvoyance being shown, the patient's eyes were bandaged. We pledge ourselves that we did this effectually. To see, in the ordinary sense of the word, a ray of light was physically impossible. Two large pieces of wool were placed over each eye, and above this were bound with great care two linen handkerchiefs folded several times. Thus blindfolded, he was placed at a table, and commenced play ing ecarie with a strange gentleman in the room. It was, indeed, wonderful to see with what accuracy he played, not only knowing every suit he bad in his own hands, but, by a species of divination, being able to detect the condition of his opponent's hand. Several persons played with him, and among others, Dr. Jerden, who, however, was fortunate enough to beat the Somnambulist. To exhibit the man's extraordinary powers, a large book of plates, nearly two inches in thickness, was placed between Alexis and his opponent, and, notwithstanding this physical impediment, the Somnambulist was able to tell the person with whom he was playing, the cards he held in his hand. It may be said there was collusion. We know such was not the case. Alexis then had a letter placed in his hands by Colonel Gur wood, with the view of ascertaining whether he was compe tent to make out the name of the party who had written the letter. It appears that Colonel Garwood had placed himself in communication with Alexis, some time back, in Paris, in order to discover whether he had it in his power to give him any hint by which to enable him to discover the resi dence of a French soldier, whose life Colonel Gurwood had saved during the siege of Badajoz. Alexis during the mag netic state gave Colonel Gurwood some valuable information on the subject of his inquiry, and, acting upon this, he was fortunate enough to find not only the name of the person, but his place of abode. Colonel Gurwood wrote to the sol dier, and the letter which he placed folded in Alexis' hands was the answer which he had received. Alexis, after a little examination, wrote down the person's name, and told Colonel Gurwood the purport of the letter which he had in his hand. He made, certainly, one mistake in the final letter of the person's name ; but this did not in the slightest degree de tract from his extraordinary penetration. Another gentle. man, who bad not seen Alexis previously (Colonel Gardener, we believe), asked the Somnambulist to describe his resi dence. This he did with great accuracy, telling him the number of pictures he had in his drawing-room, their peculiar position, and the subject of the pictures. Watches were then placed in his band, and, by merely feeling on the back of the case for a few minutes he pointed out, with one exception, the exact position of the hour and. minute hands. A large book of plates was subsequently held to the back of his bead, and to the amazement of every person in the room Alexia was able to describe the various prints to which his attention was directed. _ _ We have thus endeavoured faithfully to record the facts which we witnessed this day. It is our belief that the expe riments were performed fairly, and that in no single instance did anything like collusion exist. We do not pretend to account for the strange, the wonderful phenomena which this youth certainly manifested. Of course there were many present who refused to admit the possibility of any person seeing uuder such circumstances. One gentleman, more in credulous than the rest, declared moat emphatically that Alexis was able to see down his nose—an hypothesis, we must confess, at variance with all our anatomical and phy siological knowledge. With his eyes almost hermetically sealed he was able to read a book taken from among a num ber of works on the table. Independently of this, a hand kerchief twice folded was placed over the printed page of a large volume, and through this the Somnambulist was able to read with facility. We have thus endeavoured faithfully to record the experiments performed this day. We draw no conclusion from the facts : we confess they are mysterious and inexplicable—beyond our comprehension. Let those who are disposed to be sceptical examine the matter fur themselves; they will, we understand, have frequent oppor tunities of doing so.—Times. • DEFENCE OF THE COAST.—The plans for harbours of refuge in the English Channel are progressing as fast as their important nature and the improvements which suggest themselves will permit. Every port is to have a strong ad jacent defence; and three propositions have been made to effect this desirable end.--lst. Line-of-battle ships with screw propellers. 2d. Steam-frigates like the Penelope. 3d. Bat teries on shore. A plain and simple question arises—why not have both land and sea protections? This seems to be the most naturally adapted; for if ships are compelled to move away in pursuit of an enemy, the refuge harbour might be left defenceless ; and if nothing more than a battery is erected, it would be impossible to chase.—United Service Gazette.

Monday the inquisition touching the death of Mrs. Rachel Belaney, whose husband, Mr. James Cockburn Belaney, is at present in custody, charged on suspicion, of having caused her death, by administering to her a quantity of prussic acid on Saturday, the Bth instant, was resumed before Mr. Baker, at the Fountain Tavern, Stracey-street, Stepney. With the facts of the case so recently and fully before the public, it is only necessary to say, that Mr. Belaney and his wife arrived in town on Tuesday, the 4th instant, and took lodgings at Green-street, Stepney. Their only acquaintance being a Captain Clark, a retired master mariner, his draighter (Mrs. inPEachern), and Mr. Hobson, a bookseller :re the Commercial-road. According to the evidence of these parties, as well as of a Mrs. Heppingstall, in whose house they lodged, the prisoner and his wife, who, it appears, was a very handsome woman, lived on the fondest terms. On Saturday, the Bth instant, the prisoner called Mrs. Hep pingstall to his wife's assistance, and in about ten minutes afterwards she died in that person's arms, the prisoner at the same time observing that her mother died of a somewhat similar attack nine months previously. A post mortem exa mination was subsequently held upon the body, and after that the prisoner admitted to Captain Clark, Mr. Hobson, and afterwards to a surgeon named Garrett, that he was in the habit of taking prussic acid to correct his stomach, and owing to au accident he left some exposed in a tumbler in his wife's bedroom, into which he presumed she poured some water and drank it off in a mistake, having previously taken some salts. The prisoner explained his nut making this statement before, by saying that he was ashamed to admit such neglect respecting so deadly a poison on the part of a medical man. The first witness examined on Monday was Mr. Thomas Duilogitue, the surgeon from whom the prisoner had pur chased the prussic acid, as well as some acetate of morphine, a most deadly poison, together with salts, senna, and carbo nate of seda. in eia evidence before tee magistrate at the Thames Police -court, oa Thursday, the witness stated that, on the Mouthy after the death of the deceased lady, Me. r,e: alley and Captain Clark called upon him, about 11;1n past eight in the morning, when the prisoner said be had had amis fortune with the erect, as the neck of the bottle had come off, and lie we -bee witness to attend the inquest. Being more eiosely examined upon this Hint on Monday, the witness en terett mere rally ie to detail, and stated that Belaney, in the pressnee of Captain Clash, told Lim that the phial being tightly sopped, in tryion to open it, he broke off the neck, .111 Bing Uesi OLIS of Sav4l4 tee acid, he pat the contents into x tumbler in Mrs. Beleney's room. Having left the room for a weile he heard a scream, and coining back he tumid that his wife, who had taken some medicine, had, as he peesumed, by mistake poured water into the glass which contained the prussic acid, and drunk off the contents. He, at the same time, requested witness to attend the inquest which was to be held that day. This evidence excited considerable surprise in the inquest room. It e ill be recollected that Captain Clark deposed that the prisoner never mentioned anything to him about the prussic acid until the evening of - Monday, and yet Mr. Do noghue was quite as positive that the whole facts were de tailed by Mr. Belauey, in Captain Clark's hearing, as early as half-past eight &clock on Monday morning. The CORONER, who seemed to think that there must be some great mistake as to dates, questioned Mr. Donoghue closely as to whether that conversation did not take place on the luesday morning subsequently to the death, but the witness persisted in saying that it was on the Monday, and he was confirmed in his memory of the date. by the fact of his having been summoned to attend on that day at the Ce ntral Criminal Court in a stabbing case. Mr. Donoghue's servant-boy was then sent for. He re membered Captain Clark and another person calling at his master's house; but could not possibly tell on what day of the week it happened. Captain Clark was then again called, and asserted most positively that it was on the Tuesday morning that Mr. Be laney made the statement to Mr. Donoghue. Mr. BAKER said that was a fact which it would be very important to have ascertained correctly. Mr. Donoghue said, that on hearing the statement he thought it odd Mr. Belaney had not called on him on Sunday. Captain Clark said he thought Doctor Garrett could throw a light on the doubt, and that gentleman being called, said he understood the interview had taken place upon the Tuesday'. Mrs. Mary Stobbs, a widow lady, and aunt of Mre.Belaney, was then called. She trembled a good deal, and appeared greatly affected when first sworn. She said she resided at North Sunderland, in Durham, and rented a farm from her late sister, Mrs. Rachel Skelly, mother of the deceased, at 1001. a year. Site went twice to see her sister before her death. Her sister was then living at the prisoner's house ; but she did not see him there on those occasions. On the Saturday she saw Mr. Belaney, who told her Mrs. Skelly was asleep, having had a little laudanum, and expressed a hope that she would be better when she awoke. Witness under stood Mrs. Skelly died that day; but her niece did not ask her in. Mrs. Skelly generally enjoyed good health, and was not subject to fits. Mr. Clarkson here interposed, and asked whether it was intended to try a double inquest. He had no objection to the production of every possible evidence; but, if the case went to another place, good reason would be shown why the wit ness should not ive been with her sister. The CORONER said he had no bias whatever in the case, his only object being to do justice and elicit the truth. Mrs. Stobbs then proceeded to state, that she understood the property which she rented from her sister passed on that lady's death to Mrs. Belaney, and from her to her husband. Witness received notice to quit from Mr. Belaney, whose wife, on ).l-s. Shelly's death, she looked upon as her land lsdy. Witness told Mr. Belaney she did not expect a notice to vent. ; lan he replied it was Mrs. Skelly's express wish. Witness, however, had reason to think otherwise. She did not know on what terms the prisoner and his wife lived, as she had not seen them above twice together. Mrs. Skelly lord five houses, sad had no child but Rachel. Witness, before Rachel's marriage, placed some money to her account in the Nteecaetle Bank. The prisoner, besides the work on Faiceere, wren ;i little poem called the " Steeple Chase." h e r e again iuterfered, and requested, if tide lne , ens considered material, that it should be taped down , if not, be could not conceive why it should be gone into. Mr. BAKER said, that. he perhaps had a clearer view of the case than the Learned Gentleman, having been furnished with more materials than the Learned Gentleman, who, it might be, had not seen this book. Mr. Clarkson—Oh ves, I have. I have neglected nothing necessary to my client's case. The "Steeple Chase," a small phamphlet in rhyme, was then handed about among the jurors. Our reporter had no op portunity of seeing it ; but he understood it to be a local pasquinade, abounding in personal invective It ou, pub lished in 1838, and Mr. Baker said he was glad to see a-better spirit exhibited in the clever work on Falconry, published in 1841. Mre. Stobbs, being cross- examined by Mr. Clarkson, said, she was not sent for as a witness, but came up of her own accord to see after her niece. A person of the name of John son asked her if she had any wish to come up to town ? She borrowed the money for the journey; but she intended to pay it back to the parties who lent it; and whose names were down in a list. She could not say whether it had been raised by subscription. In answer to a juror the witness said her niece was always kind to her when Mr. Belaney was not present. Mr. George Hobson, of No. 8, Crombey's-row, Commercial road, bookseller, knew the prisoner six years ago, and had received from bins half a dozen copies of the " Steeple Chase." The prisoner then resided at Cannon-street-road. The witness then proceeded to state the renewal of his ac quaintance with Mr. Belaney and his introduction to that gentleman's wife after their arrival in town on Tuesday, the 4th instant, and his evidence was similar to that given by Captain Clark. Mr. BAKER said, that as other witnesses were expected up from the country, he would postpone the inquiry until Thurs ' day next. Sergeant M'Cardell said there were two ladies in attend ance who had lived in the neighbourhood of Mr. and Mrs. Belau) , down in the north, and who could speak to the pri soner's ill-treatment of his wife up to December last. The witnesses, however, were not called, and the inquest was adjourned until two o'clock on Thursday.
