This gentle man's evidence, and the petition, they report to the House ; but without expressing any opinion upon it. The petition of KING to the House of Commons, sets forth that during his residence in the Woodbridge union workhouse, he had witnessed, among other heart-rending acts of cruelty and neglect towards the sick and other inmates of that establishment, these : namely—" a poor man, aged 76 years, was cruelly bound to the bedstead, the cord passing three times over different parts of his body, to save the trouble of (the nurse's) sitting up with him, during the night ; in which state he was found dead, cold, and quite stiff on the following morning ;" that pe titioner was acquainted with the names of several other persons who were found dead in their beds, having died in the night time, and on whose bodies no coroners' inquests were held; that petitioner could prove the facts of two such cases; and of "other two deaths caused by the extreme violence manifested towards the individuals by the officers of the house, and that as to these deaths the absence of a coroner's inquest arose from the expediency of concealment; that petitioner having, in accordance with a sense of duty, repeatedly petitioned the Poor-law Commis sioners to institute a full and searching inquiry into these cases, they had refused on the ground assigned, in a certain correspondence (which tLen follows)' between petitioner, the Assistant-Secretary to the Board, and the clerk of the Woodbridge union). The petitioner refused, under advice of counsel, to furnish any previous list of witnesses to the Commissioners, from apprehension of their being tampered with." Our readers will probably imagine that there must have been some gross exaggeration in such a cata logue of horrors as KING had thus opened to prove the criminal misconduct of the parties in authority at the Woodbridge union house. We are inclined to be lieve that of exaggeration KING has been guilty to a great extent; but, that one half, one tithe, of such enormities should appear by the acknowledgement and finding of the Poor-law Commissioners—them selves interested parties, and, we will say, in refer ence to their gratuitous vindication of the unfeeling and most negligent master and mistress of the union house—implicated parties too;—that a fraction of these atrocities has been committed, is a fact which calls on Parliament itself for the sternest expres sion of its severe displeasure against the controlling authority, under the jurisdiction of which—large, inquisitorial, and well supported as it is, these criminal delinquencies can have been committed. They are a scandal to the national humanity, and civilisation ; a reproach to the county of Suffolk; and a standing testimony to the im becility, as well as the injustice, of that vaunted " Poor-law Commission," whose whole career will have been but one long drain upon the public purse, and one protracted outrage upon public feeling—if they venture to commit themselves to such a mode of dealing with such offences, as they exhibit in their letter of the 20th of February last to the clerk of the Woodbridge union. An abstract of this report, and of the documents embodied in it, which we give in another part of our paper, comprise this letter ; and to it we earnestly direct the attention of our readers. Madrid journals of the 20th announce the de parture of the Royal Family for Barcelona. None of the Ministers except NARVAEZ accompanied their Majesties. The municipal elections had commenced,- but as the Liberal party said they were all a farce, owing to the violation of an Act of the Cortes passed last year, they declined voting, and the Government party had it all their own way. The Barcelona journals state that great preparations had been made for the reception of the Royal Family, and that the municipality intended to have a grand tournament to celebrate the occasion. On the Madrid Bourse, the Three per Cents. were done at 281 for cash, and 28i 29 at 60 days, and the Fives at 20 13-32 at 60 days. The Journal des Debats of Sunday contains an, article on British India, which is of so singular a character, and so unlike the general sentiments ex pressed in that journal, that one almost feels inclined to believe that it had been smuggled from the office of the National, and inserted in the Government paper by mistake. Some of the statements are most inconsistent, for while the writer asserts that Russia has formed a vast coalition of native princes against England, and that her power in India is on the wane, and that her fate in that quarter is sealed, almost in the same sentence it admits that she will take posses sion of the fertile and vast plains of the Punjaub. Taking this as a matter of fact, what could Russia, with the Persians and the Khan of BOKHARA, and all the other khans and kings on the west of the Indus, do against her:frontier ? What impression could Russia make on such a boundary as would thus be formed by strong forts on the banks of the Indus, and by countless steamers in its channel ? Indeed the production, altogether, is like a rhapsody drawn by some visionary at Bombay under the influ ence of opium. Russia, he says, is taking gigantic steps, and there is something terrific in her march while she does not appear to move. We are to infer, therefore, that she is working like a mole under. ground, and that some fine morning her armies will spring up from the soil of Lahore, all accoutred and in terrible array, to annihilate the unfortunate Eng lish. We give the following as a specimen, and leave the reader to judge of its merits :—" The intelligence last received from Bombay abounds in interesting facts. There has been a movement in politics, and some perfectly new arrangements have been accom plished. Until the present period Russia has failed in all her attempts to approach India, but we now learn at the same time that the Persian flag floats at Herat, where YAE MOHAMMED acknowledges himself to be the humble vassal of the SHAH ; that Khiva has sub mitted to pay tribute to the Khan of BOKHARA, the ally and the Scid of Russia, the murderer—or at least the gaoler—of Stoddart 'and of Conolly ; that all Central Asia, from the Caspian Sea to Hindoukosk, from Asterabad to the Indus, C had been consolidated into one vast confederation, of which Russia is at the same time the soul and the base ; that Sunnites and Shutes have, for the first time, forgotten their secular animosities, in order to unite in one common league against the English ; and that Russia at length holds in her hands the keys of Hindostan. We are only imperfectly informed as to the means which Russia has employed to arrive at her object, but we cannot doubt of the results. Never truly, in our history, did Russia make so gigantic a step towards India ; never did she place her foot so firmly amongst the slippery rocks and shifting sands which sepa parated her from her distanf prey. There is something terrific in the march of this Power, which arrives thus without appearing to move. And still however little as we may be disposed to sympathise with her, we cannot refuse her a certa g in feeling of esteem which is ever excited by the solution : of a vast and complicated problem. What will England do in presence of the danger which she feared the most ? she who threatened to set the world in a blaze rather than suffer the influence of Persia at Herat, or be cause an obscure adventurer presented himielf at Caubul, under the name of Russia. Will . sheitgain pass the Indus to throw herself into the Khyber or Bolan passes? No; she will for a long time remain inert, because this task is now beyond her strength. The tide which carried her forward is on the ebb. These events, in the meantime, will have an imme diate effect on the destinies of the kingdom of Lahore. Strong in the secret assistance of Russia, and free from all uneasiness as to his rear, DOST MOHAMMED and his son display extraordinary activity in taking advantage of the disorganised state of the Pun jaub to recover the fragments detached by Rus- JEST SING from the ancient empire of the Aff ghans. Two brothers of the DOST are already on the spot, and although prisoners on parole—one at Peshawur, and the other at Lahore—they pos sess immense influence. There appears to be no doubt that MAHOMED AKBAR KHAN, who had arrived at Jellalabad, with 12,000 men and ten pieces of cannon, will reconquer, without striking a blow, all P m, e i s n hawur, as far as Attok.

Miming tint LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1844. "We freely confess," says a Whig Contemporary of yesterday, " that the manner in which the ques tion of Ten Hours was treated in the House of Com mons was not such as to exalt the already low esti mate formed by the working classes of that branch of the Legislature. Hopes were excited only to be disappointed ; votes were given only to be rescinded; allegations were made and contradicted ; statis tics were confronted with statistics ; speech answered speech ; but there was nothing throughout the whole controversy which conveyed the impression of calm, deliberate, investigation and decision. The House of Commons has exhibited itself to the country as dealing with a great question, first in the spirit of rash meddling, and then timidly' shrinking from it under a vague apprehension of consequences." This stringent censure more parti cularly applies to the Conservative portion of the House—to that selfish, short-sighted, unscrupulous faction—for, however numerically strong, they scarcely deserve the name of a party—who first voted one way, with a view to bully, and frighten, and revenge themselves on the manufacturers, and then voted just the contrary way, from a discreet apprehension that their own interests might be en dangered by their consistency. In the whole annals of political tergiversation, we know of nothing so utterly indefensible as this recent wholesale apostacy of the Conservatives—an apostacy for which they did not even deign to apologise, but which they seemed to look upon quite as a matter of course, as a laches to be expected from them, and quite natural and justifiable under the circumstances in which they were placed. With what sovereign con tempt must not the working-classes henceforth regard this trimming, cowardly faction ! With what freezing indifference—not unmingled and unquickened by a fierce despair—must they not regard every future measure which receives their sanction ! Though strong just now in point of mere numbers, the Con servatives have not the slightest moral influence. No unprejudiced man has the slightest confidence in them—no thinking man cares two straws for what they say. Bad as the Tories were, these, their illegi timate successors, are a thousand times worse; for the former were at least manly, consistent, and intelligible in their conduct ; whereas the latter fling all ideas of consistency to the winds, and speak and act under the influence of no more generous motive than that of pleasing their task master, whom, nothwithstanding their subserviency, they hate with as much intensity as the Devil hates holy water. Truly, it is a great credit to Sir R. PEEL that he has manufactured such a sect out of the shattered fragments of Toryism. The created are well worthy of their creator, and deserve equally the respect and admiration of the country. Both these amiable parties just now find it their mutual interest to profess a decided hostility to any further altera tion in the corn-laws. But having changed once, and this without the slightest hesitation, on one of the most important questions of the session, who shall say that they will not change again? Who shall say that when 'AIr.ViLLIEas next brings forward his motion for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws the Conservatives, with the ductile Premier at their head, will not " go the whole hog" in company with the Member for Wolverhampton ? There is no speculating on the course of policy they will pursue on any one public question, though the probability is that if there be one course more irrational and inconsistent than another, that is the course they will lrmour by their adoption. Mean time, despite all their eel-like twisting and twirling, and open and secret opposition, the Protection system, for which they have so ungrudgingly made these stupendous sacrifices of character, verges fast to its fall. Yes, the hour speeds on that is bear ing on its wings the doom of every species of mono poly. Conservatives themselves—such is the cruel, necessity of their position—are made the instruments of the overthrow of their own darling prejudices First, they are compelled to concede a tariff; next, a Canadian Corn Bill ; and before they have well get over the shock of these afflictions, their inexorable task-master exacts from them another sacrifice ; and, true to his favourite system of expediency, which has ever a discreet eye to the "pressure from without," will never let them rest till he has wrung from their fears and their subserviency such an alteration in the corn laws as shall bring joy to the heart of COBDEN, and set the pulse of BRIGHT bounding within him like one of the " little hills of Hermon." In the due administration of the Poor-law, and the efficient discharge of their duties who are entrusted with the superintendence and protection, the manage ment and control of parochial paupers, every class of the community has a deep interest. It is an interest, indeed, much more immediate and absolute than cur sory observers can readily imagine. So long, how ever, as the inequalities of men's condition, and of the means of maintaining themselves, remain as various and as fluctuating as social constitutions have left them—that is to say, subject to movements which oscillate between the extremest points of opulente and of penury—so long it is the obvious policy of the fortunate few to consult the feelings whilst they relieve the wants, to respect the sufferings whilst they impose, for the sake of order and decorum, some necessary restraints upon the personal freedom, of those whom poverty or bodily infirmities have ren dered incompetent, of themselves, to alleviate those sufferings or to supply those wants. It is the interest of the few who enjoy the advantages of competence or the luxuries of wealth to conciliate the many who cannot command the one, and know the other but by name. The neglect of this principle is calculated to precipitate events, the issue of which must always Fe far more disastrous to the possessors of property than to the victims of poverty. But its reckless and open violation can work to no other result than to encou rage, in the pauper masses, the growth of feelings to wards the owners of capital, or of the property it com mands, which, if not checked by the timely manifes tation on the part of the latter of a willingness to relieve all wretchedness that is not culpable—to a cer tain extent, fairly defined and honestly and impar tially acted up to—may eventuate, at any moment, in some appalling and destructive collision of antagonist the prey of the English;. Cashmere and the mountain will remain with Huta. SINGU and his family." The Constitutionnel states that M. GUIZOT has pro tested, in the name of France, against the incorpora tion of the Texas with the United States. "This act," it adds, "does not surprise us as it is much more con formable to the policy of England than of France." These papers furnish no later accounts from Switzer land. On Sunday, the Three per Cents. were done at 84f. 65c. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY TUESDAY EVENING. There has been a sudden decline in Consols this afternoon, purely the result of the turn taken by the settlement, the losing party having to sell. The latest bargains were at 99+ for transfer, and at 991 for time. Exchequer Bills were dull at 71s. to 735. The heavy investments did not share the re-action, which was only attributable, as above remarked, to speculation. The Foreign Securities did not alter materially from the morning. Spanish Five per Cents. were 23i to and the Three per Cents. 35+ to 35 being for the latter a slight decline. Mexican Bonds were steady at 358. and Brazilian at 81 to 811. The additional transactions in Railway shares have been these :—Dublin and Cashel were 3 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, Quarter, 4 ; Great Western, 43 ; Ditto Half, 24+ ; Brighton Loan Notes, 18 ; Greenwich Pre ference, 8 ; South-Western, 46* ; Midland Counties, Quarter, 7 ; Northern and Eastern, I LI- 8 ; South- Eastern, 2+ ; Ditto New, 51 ; Trent Valley, 71 ; Yar mouth and Norwich, 3 ; York and North Midland, 66 to 67 ; Ditto, Half, 33 ; and Rouen and Havre, 11 premium ; Great North of England, 1 : Brighton, 48 ; and Greenwich, 51 to * discount ; London and West minster Bank shares were 7 premium.

We are again without arrivals to-day. A plan is on foot for establishing steam communication from Panama to Lima, thus completing the line on the western coast of South America as far as Valparaiso. The energy and experience of Mr. Wheelwright, who has already linked the first part of this substantial chain, is directed to the connection of the further portion ; and for the interests of commerce and civilisation it is ardently to be desired may prove successful. In fact, we believe there is very little doubt of this, as Mr. Wheelwright has addressed'a letter to_ the merchants trading with South America, to inform them of • the forwardness of his arrangements which will enable him to commence operations, it is hoped, early in the year 1845. Our commerce and influence have already been ad vantaged by the boon we have conferred upon Peru and Chili, but yet more important results will follow from the completion of the line, as there will be a communication carried on across the Isthmus of Panama, both for goods and passengers, which can be conveyed to that part of South America by the West India Royal Mail steamers. It is important • also to remark that the route to Australia and 'Canton will also be reduced by this new steam communication, as from England via Panama and Lima to Sydney; will be less than 13,000 miles, and. to Can -ion under 15,000 miles. As regards the latter, however, the -overland mail would always exercise the pre-eminence. As upon a former occasion there appeared in another part of The Swu a very ample review of Mr. Wheelwright's pamphlet, and of his position towards the Pacific Steam Company, it is unnecessary further to comment upon that, and we are glad -to find by that gentleman's letter that he is likely to make 'satisfactory arrangements for co-operating with his former allies. _ _ The Funds are to-day influenced but slightly by the set -Cement of the Consol Account, although there is a tendency to a turn in favour of the buyers. There is a continuation of about Ato July, Consols having been called 99 a to for Money, and 99' . ' to for Account. There has been a money bargain at 993.

THE ADELAIDE HOTEL, LONDON-BRIDGE.- Mon day this excellent establishment was re-opened, after un dergoing most extensive improvements and decorations, under the auspices and management of Mr. Softlaw and the other prcprietors of the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark. Ths occasion was celebrated by a magruflcent dinner, at which were assembled !,1 numerous company of gentlemen osten sibly connected with the commerce and corporation of the City of London, under the presidency of Alderman Sir Chap man Marshall, whose bon hommie and admirable tact con• duced in an eminent degree to the conviviality and enjoy ment of the evening. All the toasts, with the exception of that of the Queen, were honoured sitting, an arrangement and example well worthy of general adoption. After the usual routine of loyal toasts, the worthy Alderman, in a speech replete with great good sense and kindly feeling, pro posed the health of the host, Mr. Softlaw, and success to the Adelaide Hotel, to which that gentleman responded in a re ciprocal spirit. The health of the Lord Mayor and several other toasts were given and received with becoming enthu siasm. The professional vocalists present were Messrs. Hobbs, Hawkins, Chapman, and Roe, with two youngsters from the metropolitan cathedral, and it is not saying too much to remark that the musical treat alone, independent of the banquet, which included all the rarities of the season and the choicest wines, was cheap in itself at the price of the dinner ticket. Mr. Harker acted as toastmaster, and was also in capital voice. IRON TRADE.—An additional furnace has been blown in at Blaenafon.

TILE SAXON MoNAßch.—The King of Saxony, though only a third-rate Sovereign, will yet be received with the greatest distinction. His Majesty is the Sovereign to whom more especially the House of Saxe Coburg owes alle giance ; they are all Dukes of Saxony ; and the King will re cognise, in the infant Prince of Wales, one of his future nobles. All the male branches of the English Royal Family will now hold that rank in Saxony according to the laws which regulate the succession of nobility on the Continent. It was to this Sovereign that her Majesty paid the high com pliment of sending a special mission to invest him with the order of the Garter ; and though the Emperor of Russia may not come, still the British Court will be called upon to dis play all its magnificence and hospitality, as a sort of avant courrier to the illustrious personages who were, and, perhaps, are to visit us. We have the Crown Prince of Denmark, who, though not coming on a visit to the Court, will, doubt= less, be invited there. His Royal Highness purposes making a tour through Scotland.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.—The cradle for taking this behemoth of the deep through the dock gates is fast approach ing to completion, and we arc happy to hear that the projec tors have not a shadow of doubt of accomplishing her extra prdittai7 pastriages—Bath Herald: COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY. Captain Grover has received a letter from Dr. Wolff, dated Meshed, March 24th, 1844. The Doctor strangely enough fell in with Saleh Mahommed, called Akhoondzadeh, whose statement of what he said people had told him of the execution of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly was published in all the papers, and on the faith of which, her Majesty's Government erased the name of Lieut.-Colonel Stoddart from the list of the army, and the East India Company that of Brevet Captain Conolly from their list. The latter officer has, however, it appears from the last accounts from India, been promoted to a troop in the 6th Light Cavalry. The Doctor thus writes : " Saleh Mahommed told me, that the two persona who were put to death, and of whom he gave a cir cumstantial account to Colonel Shiel, may have been two other persons, and the executioner who told him the story may have belied him. Besides this, I must confess that two things are suspicious to me in the extreme : he, first of all, told me that the executioner who told him the story had been the executioner of Stoddart; on another day, when I asked him again which of the two executioners had put Stoddart to death, he replied that he did not know. He, more • over, makes a claim upon Colonel Shiel for 120 to mauns, which I have learnt from different quarters he has received from Major Todd." Dr. Wolff takes presents to the King of Bokhara, to the value of between 500 and 600 gold tomauns ; and he appears to have acquired the good wishes and assistance of all the people with whom he has been brought in contact. Ile thus relates a remarkable circumstance : " I have written a most respectful letter to the Ameer of Bokhara, which I shall deliver m/self ; in this letter I remind his Majesty of the hospitable re ception he granted to me, when at Bokhara twelve years ago, and of my boldly having defended him in England, and throughout Europe, when I heard him accused of being the murderer of guests. I also pe tition his Majesty most humbly to allow me to take back my friends to their native country ; or should they have died on account of some fault •committed, to inform me of the nature of their crime, and to per mit me to carry their corpses to England, to be buried by their relations. I gave this letter into the hands of the Sheik at Islam of Meshed, who read it in the mosque of Gowker-Shah, in the presence of 5,000 people there assembled." The Doctor also says : " A caravan arrived here some days ago from Bok hara, and ask whom you please, the invariable answer is—they may be alive, for nobody has seen them executed ; and the Goosh Bekee, or Prime Minister, who for five years was supposed to have been put to death, has suddenly come forth alive and well from prison. " The chief of the caravan of Bokhara, Mullah Kereen by name, who leaves that city every two months, and has a wife there, told me two days ago, that if any one asserts that he has seen the execution of the two elchies (ambassadors), he is a liar." DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—In your paper of last night there appears a paragraph respecting the " Duncombe Testimonial," in which you state that Messrs. Grote, and Co., the bankers, have given 1001. to that object, and that it is the Chartists who are about to raise the testimonial in gratitude to Mr. Duncombe for his valuable services in their cause both in and out of Parliament. I beg most distinctly to deny that such is the case. The delegates from whom the Duncombe Testimonial Committee was elected, were appointed by the various trades of London, to watch the progress of the in famous Masters and Servants Bill, and to adopt all the legal means within their power to oppose and destroy that measure. They represented no parti cular political opinions, but were composed of men of all parties, who were unanimous in scarcely any one thing except that the above-named Bill must be opposed, and that Thomas Slingsby Duncombe was deserving the thanks and gratitude of every working man, and hence the proposition for a testimonial. It is true that the Chartist body throughout the United Kingdom are taking up the matter with great spirit, at which the Central Committee are well pleased—as they desire the co-operation of all men of all parties—and from this, perhaps, has arisen the re port that it is a Chartist Testimonial. It is true also that.there are several influential Chartists upon the Committee, but they were elected at the general dele gate meeting of the Trades of London, and attend not as Chartists, but as working-men. Indeed, I think the Chartist portion of the Committee are more parti cularly anxious than the rest to avoid political disqui. sitions—and the Chairman will not allow any remark to be made which can be offensive to the opinion or privileges of any man. Sir, I earnestly request the insertion of this letter in your columns, as, unfortu nately there are many men of intellect and education, who would be willing to assist a Trades' Duncombe Testimonial ; but to whom the name of Chartist is a bug-bear, which would frighten them from doing jus tice to a deserving patriot.—l am, &c., JOHN ROBINSON KELSEY, Sec. to the Duncombe Testimonial Committee.
