Mr. O'Connell may think or say, the British people have reason to feel, that this is not " equal justice.' Mol•ning Herald. On Thursday the 3d instant, in reply to some ob servations of Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Wakley, Lord John Russell was able to say that since the dis cussion that had taken place in that House, he had thought it his duty to recommend to his Majesty that two of the Dorsetshire labourers should have a portion of their sen tence commuted. He had already stated that four out of the six had been permitted to return at the end of two years, which would terminate in October of the present year, and he had felt it his duty to recommend to his Ma jesty, that the remaining two should return at the end of three years, which his Majesty had been pleased to direct. He did not think that any thing had since occurred which would induce him to recommend a further remission of the until:nee which bad been passed upon these persons." On Monday the 14th instant, in answer to a ques tion from Mr. Wakley, Lord John Russell said " That his Majesty had been graciously pleased to remit all the remaining punishment of the Dorsetshire labourers." It will be seen from the above extracts that a some what sudden change took place between the 3d and the 14th of the present month in the opinion of his Majesty's advisers as to the manner in which the Royal prerogative of mercy should be exercised in the case of the criminals above mentioned. It will be seen also that this sudden change of opinion is left wholly un explained. We will now mention some facts which have come to our knowledge, and which may serve, perhaps, to shed a little light upon a subject which Lord John Russell has left enveloped in the thickest darkness. Many of our readers probably are ignorant that there is a person of the name of Savage, who who keeps a public-house or beer-shop somewhere in the New-road, St. Marylebone—that there is a Club of Radicals, which holds its weekly meetings at this public-house or beer-shop on Sunday evenings —that Mr. Savage, the host, is the Chairman of this Radical Club—and that the said Mr. Savage is a very frequent, very familiar, and, if not a very ac ceptable, is always, at least, a very well received visitor at the Home Office. We are informed that Mr. Savage's Marylebone Radical Sunday night Club is in correspondence with similar Societies in all or most of the considerable towns of Great Britain—a circumstance which adds much to his political import ance, and contributes, we are told, in no inconsider _ able degree, to the facile access and cordial reception he never fails to find on his visits at Whitehall. We are further informed that Mr. Savage did Lord John Russell the honour of calling in at the Home Office in the course of the week before last, just to ask his Lordship, in an easy and friendly way, what his final determination was with respect to the expatriated patriots of Dorsetshire ; that he hinted to his Lord ship the probability that on the following Monday a question would be put to him on the subject in the House of Commons, and intimated the fearful certainty, in the event of such a question being put,- and an answer in the slightest degree un satisfactory being given to it, that on a certain future day, which he also named, petitions would be presented from all the considerable towns of Great Britain. After the pleasant tete-a-tete in which these disclosures were made, the two great men, the Russell and the Savage, shook hands, and parted. What took place on the following Monday in the House of Commons our readers have seen in the latter of the two quotations frotwthe Par liamentary reports with which we commenced. What our readers will infer from the above sequence and concatenation of circumstances is more than we can gues. We caution them against any rash induction. It does not necessarily follow, from the facts we have stated, that in this particular instance the Royal pre o!ative has been exercised in reluctant obedience to the pressure from without, or that Lord J. Russell, when he announces the remission or mitigation of a 13,;a1.40tePee, is henceforth to be regarded as a mes se,i..!er a mercy, not from the King of Great Britain and Ireland, but from Mr. Savage, of the Circus Ta v2rn. At last night's meeting of Mr. Savage's Ra- weal t. lub all was joy and exultation of course. The Chairman, all reports . agree, was more than usually eloquent rmtl grand. He treated his admiring auditors to the following well-known quotation, which we are rlssured he pronounced with " good emphasis and good discretion :" " The quality of mercy is rot strained ; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed— It him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest : it becomes The throned Monarch better than his crown. Ilis sceptre shows the force of temporal power— The attribute to awe and majesty, • Wherein (loth sit the dread and 'fear of Kings; But mercy is above this sceptered , sway_ It is enthroned in the hearts of Kings— It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's When mercy seasons justice. We are not sufficiently familiar with the dramatic poetty of the Nohle Secretary of the Home Depart ment to know whether it contains any description of Kingly mercy superior or equal to the above, or, in short, whether it contains any such description at all. But if it do, then we dare venture to say that Lord John Russell did not repeat Shakspeare's lines, on the subject, at the last Cabinet dinner.—Morning Post. The debate on Friday night in the House of Com mons leaves Great Britain no alternative but to insist upon, and, if necessary, enforce reparation for the insult offered to her honour, and for the outrage perpetrated against the law of nations by the three aggressive powers in the occupation of Cracow. The representa tives of the people have unanimously proclaimed, and the Government has admitted, that the safety of Eu rope and the honour of England arc involved in this atrocious violation. Shall it then be said that the Go vernment and Commons of England were the heralds of the general disaster and national dishonour, without taking decisive measures to avert the one or to redeem the other ? For the last ten years the incompetency and timidity of our foreign policy has been annually bung ing the country into circumstances of greater difficulty and disgrace. Our forbearance has served only to invite aggression, till at length England, whose very nod at one time moved nations to her will, is now passed by as unworthy of notice by the Sovereign States. It is time to arise from a position so dishonourable. We have a long account to settle with Russia. It is not by one act, but by a succession of acts, that she has encroached upon our interests and insulted our honour. With such provocation our tranquillity is infamous. Let peace be preserved with honour, or not at all. It has been said by Ministers, that we should not give expression to sentiments of abhorrence and indignation, without being determined to act with sufficient force. We consider the advice to be salu •tarv, but do not see anything to justify a doubt of the strength and determination of the British people. They have ever been as ready to strike as to speak, when national feeling has been appealed to—nay, they have often appeared to fight solely for fighting sake, and the good old Tories have sometimes taken advan tage of this propensity, and plunged the country into wars to support despotism by popular delusion. Why then question the ability and inclination of England to maintain her rights, or imply that she would not be willing to put forth the same energy in a good cause as she has, by Tory artifice, been occasionally in duced to exercise in a bad one ?—Government should know the national character better, and in stead of waiting to be urged by force of public opinion as it were unwillingly into a vindication of our in terests and honour—the Minister should at once have stated the nature of the outrage, expressed hi s determination to have redress, asked for the necessary support, and if it were refused—but such a supposi tion is impossible—the Commons of England could not so grossly betray their duty,—therefore having obtained the sanction of the people through their Representa tives, a spirited remonstrance should be made ; and if redress were denied, the Minister of England would in his own conscien ce , i n t h e f ace o f - England and Europe, before God and man, stand justified in en forcing by hostile means the rights which the interests of his country, of humanity and civilization, call upon him to protect and maintain. Had this course been pursued, would Russia dare to encounter the hostility • land by refusing reparation? She dare not. re len t that the first shot fired in hostility by !,: a• - • , b • the signal of a general combination tates that have suffered from her 14.111t15:);7:-"' 7 11 ;r cruel and barbarous encroachments. Let England but show herself in a hostile attitude, and the whole populations of Turkey, Poland, and Circassia will rise to a man against their sanguinary invader. Should the war become general, as no doubt it would, Sweden and Denmark, in self-defence, would join the alliance against the common enemy, and even the Governments of Austria and Prussia would be unable to make their subjects the instruments of their own degradation. France would be in a similar position—the detested Louis Phillippe, influenced by a desire of continuing his dynasty, would then be as anxious to conciliate the French people, as lie now is to gain the favourable opinion of foreign despots. What, then, would be the condition of Russia ? Could she maintain herself against such a vast combination ? She could not— nor would she even attempt to do it. As soon as she would perceive the first symptoms of determined in terference by England, she would become as submis sive as she is now insolent.. Her statesmen have too sound a perception not to perceive that a general war must shake her colossal empire into its original chaos. The whole force of the empire was barely sufficient to subdue Poland. Circassia at present maintains a glo rious defence, and has recently-gained considerable ad vantages, as was noticed in our paper of Saturday. The general feeling in these quarters may be judged of by the expression of the exiled Poles, who refused to march on a plundering excursion against the Circassians. " We will," said these brave but unfortunate men, " shed no more honest blood ; we refuse to be the butchers of Nicholas ! kill us, if you please, but we will not fire upon men whose only crime is our own—the love of liberty and their country. We have no enmity against the unfortunate Russian serfs who wear a Russian livery, they are 'the unwilling instru ments of an inhuman master. We will die, but we will not shed the bl3cel of the brave Circassians." • Shall we not come to the rescue of these heroes before the iron of slavery sinks so deep into their souls as to suf fer them to become the degraded tools of the tyrant? As we have before observed, Russia's chief power of aggression arises from the timidity of England's policy, —she imposes alike on the credulity and fears of our statesmen. Her intellectual ability is pre-eminent— but the question is now become so narrowed, that deci sion and firmness are more necessarythanextraordi- nary genius. Let the Government of Great Britain but take a position on the principle of causing international rights to be respected, and the courage and high-toned energies of the people will do the rest.—Morn. Advt. Although we remain sensible of the necessity of effecting a permanent commutation of tithes, we have with reluctance arrived at the conclusion that the com pulsory clauses of Lord John Russell's Bill cannot be brought into operation in their present shape, without great injustice to the owners and occupiers of land, and great mischief, direct and indirect, to the com munity. Under the Bill, tithes are to be commuted for a perpetual rent-charge, secured by powers of dis tress and entry and perception of profits (of which a word by-and-bye), and the principle of the compulsory clauses is that the amount of the ret-charge which is to be 13 - aid henceforth and for ever on each particular farm or field, is to be determined by the net value of the land—not even by its capability, if it may be so termed, of yielding, gross produce—not even by the actual gross produce during any long period of time ; but by the amount of the gross produce which, during the short p , ,riod of seven years, in pasture or in til lage cultivation, under good husbandry or bad hus bandry, great expenditure or little expenditure, and all the accidents of cultivation or cropping the land to be charged may have happened to yield ; and the tithe-owner may compel a rent to be so fixed on any land he may choose. If a landlord, therefore, during the last seven years, happens to have been cursed with a good tenant (for a curse the Bill makes him), or if, being himself an occupier, he has been afflicted with industry and capital, or still more, with the mania of improvement, his gross produce will have been high in proportion to the gross produce of his neighbouis farm. He may not, it is true, have re ceived profit in proportion to his expenditure or to his gross returns ; but this accident,to which many ingenious cultivators are liable, will not excuse him. The parson is to be invited to pounce on him, and our im prover and his heirs are to be punished in perpetuity for the offence of havinggrown two cars of corn where one grew before. He is to be made subject to a perpetual rent charge, higher than his indolent neigh bour's, nicely adjusted in proportion to the superior productiveness of his farming. A penal rent, an in creased or new rent to be payable on account of speci fied acts of waste or bad husbandry, are familiar to those who are acquainted with leases. Lawyers are generally considerate enough to limit the term of this penalty by the continuance of the offence, and even the charge of tithes now continues only so long as the productiveness of the capital expended remains unex hausted. But the mercy of the Legislature is to allow the parson to charge with a penal rent in perpetuity any landlord who by himself .or his tenant is caught in the fact of productive cultivation. The working of the principle in its effect on the industrious, as compared with the negligent cultivator, is ob jectionable and repulsive . enough, and would alone, when the measure began to be felt, excite great and just complaint. But the more general and all-pervading objection to the principle is the heavy perpetual charge which it fixes on that land which happens, during. the last seven years, to have been under the plough, as compared with that which, during the same time, has been in pasture. We have before us an estimate of the value of the gross produce (one year with another) of a farm in one of the eastern counties, about one-third bob) , meadow and pasture, and two-thirds under tillage, iu what is called the four shift husbandry. As we know that the estimate was formed by an experienced man, and without any reference to such a catastrophe as the compulsory clauses would bring upon tillage farms, we prefer it as an illustration of the working of the Bill to any supposed cases. Estimate of the produce of a farm of 1551- acres in :- 05 acres in wheat, at 7 combs (3A- quarters) per acre, at 25s £245 0 0 24 do. barley, 10 combs per acre, at 16s l9l 0 0 25 do. turnips, &c 175 0 0 4 25 do. clover Gross produce of 99 acres arable X 714 0 0 441 meadow and pasture B9 0 0 12 rough pasture lB 0 0 155 k - Gross produce of 561- acres of meadow and pasture £lO7 0 0 It will be seen that the value of the gross produce of the arable land is about 11. 4s. per acre, the value of the gross produce of the meadow and pasture is about 1/. 17s. per acre, though the land under the plough and that not under the plough are, as nearly as may be, of the same quality, and would yield about the same rent. The gross tithe, after making a re duction of 25 per cent. according to clause 29 of the Bill, would be represented by a perpetual rent charge of 10s. 9d. per acre on the arable, and about 2s. 9d. per acre on the pasture (subject to a variation common to both rents according to the average prices of corn). The difference between the charge on the different lands of the same farm is, of course, of no conse quence ; but when we consider that different classes of landowners in England are represented by the 99 acres which are to be charged in perpetuity at 10s. 9d., and the 562 acres which are to be charged at 2s. 9d., how intolerable will the injustice appear ? Although the owner of the 99 acres may now pay a tithe equal to the amount of the threatened rent charge, yet, when it suits his altered circumstances, or the altered cir cumstances of the count r y, th a t hi s l an d b e laidinto grass, he escapes the heavy burden. But when he has once become subject to a perpetual rent charge, this escape is not open to him. He may, indeed, as before, lay his land under grass, but he will be sub ject to a rent three or four times as high as that charged on grass l an d o f similar quality. His misfortunes will not end here. Those who have had farms under pasture (the owners of the 562 ac res), not having any longer the t fe l a ed r of by titheiir kind before their eyes, will be enabled, break ing up their lands, to come into competition with the owners of the land already under tillage. The latter will be crushed not only by their own # We confess t . his appears too high. But any reasona b le deduction from thisitem will not materially affect the conclu sion, and in many arable districts the bean crops substituted for turnips are very productive. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1836. burden, but by their not crowding the market of their more lightly burdened neighbours. We have not sought for or stated an extreme case. In many places tracts of down land or poor pasture have been broken up, which it is now generally considered that it would have been good policy never to have dis turbed, and which, wherever it is possible, ought again to be returned to their former state. In these cases the tithe taken in kinthis often not less than the rent, and the rent-charge fixed on such lands caught under cultivation, will make the parson the landlord. Let us suppose a rent-charge of 7s. or even ss. an acre fixed on the poor land on the top of the chalk hills, which at great expense is continued under cultivation, and which in many parishes even within thirty miles of London scarcely yields a rent. What possibility would there be under a continued reduction of the price of grain of continuing them under tillage ? They must perforce be allowed to fall into a state of na ture. But the rent-charge remains in unabated vigour, and with it the trinoda necessitas of the Bill, the powers of distress, entry, and perception of profits. The first remedy which the tithe owner will re sort to is distress ; and as everything moveable will ,soon be exhausted, the power of entry will be brought into immediate operation, and the tithe owner is to take " the rents and profits to his own use until he shall be fully paid and satisfied the said rent charge and all arrears thereof due at the time of such entry, or during the time of his being in possession or in receipt of the rents." It is quite certain that under this provision large tracts of such poor land as we have mentioned must fall into the actual possession of the parson ; who, as he has no temptation to improve it, must continue in possession so long as the patience of the country will allow. The Bill, indeed, in its mercy, exempts the person of the landlord from any charge. But even this will be, in many cases, scarcely a benefit ; for, as few landlords are exempt from some other charge, when the land has been taken by the tithe-owner, the person of the landlord will be im pounded by the mortgagee, until he shall walk out under the Insolvent Act " as.free as nature first made man," a striking example of the perfection of agricul tural relief. There is one other case (if it be worth while to enter into particular illustrations of the general effect of the measure) of very striking hardship. In many parishes, in the pauperised counties, there has been a forced cultivation during the last seven years under labour rates—an increased quantity of labour being employed, not for profit or in expectation of profit, but for the temporary purpose of keeping a surplus population out of mischief, and (wisely or unwisely) under the sanction of an Act of Parliament. The employment of surplus labour of course increased the gross, though it diminished the net returns. On this increase the Bill will attach and the land-owner will for ever pay an increased tithe rent to the parson, on account of efforts (stimulated by the Legislature) to lighten the burdens of pauperism. The injustice of the principle is. acknowledged by the "Bill itself, in the case of hops—for it appears to have become evident to the framers of the Bill, that it would be monstrous to allow a hop tithe-rent to levied on lands after they had been returned to the plough or to pasture. But the difference between the operation of the Bill on hop-land (had it not been specially provided for) and arable land, is in degree only ; nor is the difference even in degree between the least ex pensive hop lands and the most expensive kinds of til lage so great as might be at first sight imagined. Between the hop grounds and many market gardens there is practically no difference even in degree, though even market gardens are not excepted in the Bill. O❑ the case of these gardens we do not, however, dwell ; for we feel convinced that the dullest sense of justice must be 'roused by the mere statement of the gardeners around London of the hardship of their case, and that they must be excepted in the same manner as the hop planters. We must say a word on the effect of what is called " agricultural distress-;" in which we do not include the case of the landlords we have described, who, being relieved of their estates, will be effec tually discharged from all cares connected with agri culture. The forced commutation effected in the manner proposed, odious to the landlord, will be followed by a louder and juster cry of agricultural distress than we have yet heard. We have often dwelt on the fact, and it now begins to be acknowledged, that a great part of the distress of the anciently cultic vated parts of England arises from the increased com petition, through increased facilities of communication, of the more remote and more lightly burdened dis tricts of the kingdom. The heavily burdened districts of the east and south of England will, after having been saddled with a new and perpetual charge, be ex posed to the new class of competitors whom we have described—the owners of pasture lands of the remote counties, who will turn themselves to the supply of grain for the London market. The change of the course of tillage or industry, even when occasioned by the natural progress of society, and drawing with it an improvement in the quantity and quality of produce, is attended, like other charges, with much local inconve nience and suffering ; but changes arising from the ar tificial inequalities of burdens, produce the inconveni ence and suffering without the ample compensation of a public benefit. We have exceeded our space. But what, too, must be the effect of the proposed system on the hopes of any relief from the Corn Laws? The prospect held out to the landlord on a free admission of foreign corn, is a conversion of the land to pasture. But how can the Legislature hold out to him this prospect of relief to the owner of arable land, when lie is charged with a - perpetual rent only tolerable so long as the present extent of tillage land suffers no diminution ? We entreat, therefore, the Ministers to pause before they press forward such a Bill, under which the only hope left for the owner and occupier would be, that the titheowner would in his kindness forbear to use the powers which the Legislature should be absurd enough to grant.—Morning Chronicle. Another carnival misadventure has taken place in Paris. The person inculpated is no less than the Marquise de T______, a Peeress of France, who was unceremoniously conducted to the Corps de Garde. The following was the cause :—An ancient custom, of the cause of which we are ignorant, allows the carriages of Peers of France to proceed at full gallop in the middle of the street, while the other car riages arc piteously condemned to follow in file. On the day of Mardi Gras Madame la Marquise went out in a carriage without arms, and the Municipal Guards, not perceiving on the pannels the escutcheon and characteristic mantle, desired the coachman to quit the chausee. In vain the coachman pro tested that he belonged to a Peer of France ; the officer in sisted, and the Jehu replied in certain uncourteous language, which caused the transference of himself, the coach, and the Marquise, to the Corps de Carde. While the discussion was going on, the lady shrunk into a corner of the carriage in a state of the utmost confusion. Chance, however, conducted a young master of requests to her assistance, who, like a gallant young knight, mounted on the box and conducted Madame to her hotel. The coachman (Antione) was fined 80 francs for the language he used _to the officer of police.—Gazette des Tribunaux. On the passage of his Majesty's Packet Comet from Kingston to Holyhead, on Friday, at about 15 miles to the N. W. of the Head, she observed a small sloop to Windward dismasted, and in apparent distress 1 they shortened sail and hauled up for her, and soon per ce i ve d t h e wrec k o f masts, sails, and rigging alongside and as t ern , an d t h e sea , w hi ch was running high, occasionally making a breach over her.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Friday morning the head of a female was found lying on the pave_ went in the Rue Pretres St. Etienne, Paris, which appeared to have been only recently separated from the body. There were several wounds on the face, and a very extensive fracture on the skull. The police, as soon as informed of the cir cumstance, went to the place and took possession of the head. Nothing is at present known to account for the fact of the heal being found under these suspiciou s cir ewn.t.ace , , ui e there are too many and contradictory reports at present on the subject for any to deserve publication.

Mr. BETHEL asked for an order in this case to restrain certain persons connected with Lieut.-Colonel Norris, an alleged lunatic, from removing from his house furniture and other property pending the inquiry directed by the Court. The object of the application was solely the protection of the property until the result of the commission of inquiry was ascertained. The LORD CHANCELLOR examined the affidavits, and granted the order. THE SKINNERS' COMPANY V. THE IRISH SOCIETY. This was a motion argued some time since, and dismissed by the Lords Commissioners with costs, its object being to dispossess the Irish Society of that controul over the estates in Ulster granted by a charter of Charles 11. to the twelve great companies of the city of London. Mr. KNIGHT now applied for an intimation of the opinion of the Court with respect to the terms of the order to be drawn up in compliance with the decision of the Lords Commissioners. The registrar had refused to draw up the order with any mention of the numerous papers and docu ments used in the course of the argument, although not in cluded in the answer, alleging that the. course was to con fine the terms of the order to the answer and affidavits. Mr. WIGRAM argued that the practice was invariably in accordance with that which the Registrar proposed to pur sue on this occasion. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the Registrar informed him that, according to his own experience, and the expeti ence of others whom he had consulted, the orders never in cluded any thing except the answer and affidavits, and there was no reason in the present case to depart from the ordinary practice. Mr. WIGRAM asked for the costs of this application. The question of costs of the motion stood over. PEACHEY V. PEACHEY. Mr. WIGRAM moved in this case to discharge the de- fendant, William Peachey, out of custody, to which he had been committed for contempt. The parties are relations, contending for the possession of about 100 acres of fen land in the county of Cambridge. In August last, the Vice-Chancellor granted an injunction to restrain the de fendant from committing waste by cutting sedge out of season on the land in question pending the progress of the suit. This injunction the defendant was alleged to have violated, and the Vice-Chancellor committed him to the Fleet. The LORD CHANCELLOR said as the defendant had been already confined for twenty weeks, he might now be dis charged on paying the costs. VICE-CHANCERY.-SATURDA.Y. LLOYD V. LLOYD. This cause was before the Court on Friday, and was con cluded to-day. The question was whether covenants in marriage articles by the respective fathers of the intended husband and wife were concurrent, so that non-performance by the one was an excuse for non-performance by the other. Previous to the marriage of Evan Lloyd and Esther Ste phens articles were executed in 1777, which recited gene rally that Evan Lloyd, the father of the intended husband, had agreed, in case the marriage should take effect, to settle an estate called Tynpwlly and Bryn Mawr, in Carmarthen shire ; and that James Stephens and his wife had agreed, upon the same event, to settle a moiety of another estate called Glandead, in Pembrokeshire, when their daughter, Esther Stephens, should come of age. It then contained a covenant by E. Lloyd, the elder, in case the intended marriage should take effect, and James Stephens and his wife, or the survivor of them, should, as soon as Esther Stephens should be 21, convey and assure the moiety of the estate to be settled by them, that he would settle his estate upon the issue of the marriage in tail. No settlement had ever been made of the Lloyd estates, but they descended to the eldest son of the marriage, who lately died with out issue, after devisinc , the estates to his wife. The pre sent bill was filed by the second son of the marriage to re cover the estates from her. Mr. KNIGHT contended that the covenants of Lloyd and and Stephens were distiuct, and that any other construc tion of these very informal articles would be absurd. Mr. JACOB, for the widow, contended that if the cove nants were made expressly concurrent or conditional, as in this case, there was no reason for not giving effect to the express contract of the parties. His HONOUR observed, the only question was, what was the fair meaning of the parties. The true intent was that each of the parties should independently settle their estates, and the plaintiff was, therefore, entitled to have a settle ment made in the manner he proposed. Costs were not asked. ROLLS' COURT.-SATURDAY. HORNER V. LADY CHAMBERS. Mr. TRESLOVE stated this was a bill filed by the plain tiff. Mr. Horner, against Lady Chambers, for the specific performance of as agreement, to take a lease for 21 years of a house and premises, No. 2, Cumberland-terrace, Re gent's-park, at a rent of 2401. a year. Mr. PEMBERTON, for Lady Chambers, contended that she was not bound in equity to comply with the agreement, as the plaintiff had not fulfilled his part. Counter affidavits and depositions were read by Counsel, who argued that no claim equitably ekisted. The MASTER of the ROLLS discharged the bill, with costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.---MAIDSTOArE, MARC!! 19. PLUMMER V. lIUTCHINSON. This was an action arising out of the Canterbury elec tion, which took place in January of last year, and was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant a penalty of 500/., which he had incurred under the provi sions of the Bribery Act , the 2d Geo. 11., c. 24, s. 7, b y having given a bribe of 2/. on the occasion alluded to, to a voter named Smithson. The plaintiff is an alderman and magistrate of Canter bury, and the defendant a farmer, grazier, and horse-dealer in the same town. On the occasion of the election of members of Parliament for Canterbury, in January 1835, Lord Albert Denison Conyngham, Mr. Stephen Rumbold Lushington, and Mr. Villiers, were candidates. Party feeling ran high, and each side made strenuous exertions to secure the return of their candidate. At the close of the poll, however, Lord Albert Conyngham and Mr. Villiers were returned. Mr. Lushington afterwards petitioned against the return of Mr. Villiers, and the committee de cided in his favour. On the statement of Smithson, that he had been bribed to give his vote for Mr. Lushington, by the defendant, Mr. Villiers objected to his vote, and the present proceedings were instituted to recover the penalty of bribery from the defendant. From the account which Smithson gave, it appeared that he was beset by the parti sans of each candidate to give his vote, and that he went into the house of the defendant, where he received thesum of 2/. to vote for Mr. Lushington. He voted accordingly. The Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CROWN COURT.—Janzes Joy, nineteen, was indicted for having feloniously set fire to a certain stack of wheat, the property of Thomas Rammell, at Sturry. Joseph Bone examined—ls governor of SC:Augustine's gaol, Canterbury. Prisoner was in his custody, and came in the day after the fire at Rammell's. Whatever he said was the result of free will. Witness asked him if he worked for Mr. Rammell. He said that he did. Witness then asked why he was suspected of setting fire to the stack. Prisoner said. " I did.' Witness asked if he had told any body else. Prisoner said that he told Crouch, the consta ble, because he said it would be better for him. Witness said, " I have not told so ; why do you tell me?" He said, " It is of no use to tell a lie, as lies would be sure to be found out." Witness asked him how be came to do it. He said it was done by the light of the pipe, and he had not thought of doing it twenty minutes before he did it. Witness asked him if he had quarrelled with his master. He said no, but had left him several time, as he did not receive so much wages as other labourers, who were not better men than himself ; he had had it long on his mind. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy. His LORDSHIP passed the sentence of death on the pri soner, informing him that he could not hold out any hope of mercy. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 19. Thomas Pepper, George Benford, H. Flether, J. Heley, and Emma Heley, were indicted for an assault, with intent to disable or do some bodily harm to William Ratcliffe, on the Gth of December last, in the parish of St. Edmund's, Cambridge, and also for stealing 95., a purse, a hat, &c., his property. The jury found Thomas Pepper and James Heley Not Guilty ; George Benford, Hugh Fletcher, and Emma Heley Guilty.—Sentence deferred. The trial oc cupied twelve hours, minus ten minutes, but the details are uninteresting. CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Friday an inquest was held at the King's Arms Inn, Harefield, near Hillingdon, Middlesex, before Mr. &mudNo, on view of the body of Samuel Warren Batt, Esq., aged 63. Mr. William Yates Jervis, of Myrtle Cottage, Harefield, deposed that the de ceased, who was of unsound mind, had been placed under his charge for the last eighteen months. The malady of the un fortunate old gentleman was of a most distressing nature, he imagining that he was possessed of an " evil spirit," and that supernatural beings were frequently in his sight. When under the latter paroxysms, he (deceased) evinced the greatest con sternation, and would scream violently. Between five and six in Lilo (n one of the Se m mil., tho of the deceased floating in a piece of water in a meadow at tached to the grounds.

HORRIBLE PARRICIDE.—On Friday evening M r ' Thomas Bowen, of Killiderry, county of Wicklow, was bar barously murdered near his own house and thrown i nt° a ditch. So much mystery was connected with the transae" tion that there was an adjournment of the inquest, arid it re i quired not a little ,perseverance and vigilance on the p ert the neighbouring magistrates to elicit the real circumstanc es of the case, and place the offender within the reach of justice. Particular praise is due to Henry Thompson Redmond, Esq'" by whom the murderer was ultimately arrested. It is s hockin gT to relate that he is Edward Bowen the son of the deceas f e4 He has made a confession of the atrocious deed , an d is ull. committed to Wicklow gaol. A young woman, his own cou sin-german, is under charge of being an accessary. It appea r. that she had been detected in a criminal intimacy with the murderer, and out of this discovery grew reproaches fore th e father, in retaliation for which this foul assassination was ele mitted. The deceased is said to have been an inoffensive industrious farmer, and was much liked in his neighbourho o Lest this shocking transaction should be quoted as an argil' ment against the new Corporation Bill, it should probably be' stated that all the parties concerned are Protestants. __ Register. Died, on the 3d inst., at Hawkchurch, at the ea vanced age of 103 years, Mr. James Moly. Though his ft culties had been for some time impaired t here were intervao during which he retained a perfect recollection, and was en." abled to give a clear account of the diversified scenes of b long-protracted life ; and of public events there was not one upon which his memory was more vivid than that of the rebel lion in Scotland, in 1745. He was in London at the time about twelve years old, and it is not many weeks since b e detailed the account of his having been present at a review of the trained bands in the metropolis by King cond, and of the fear and consternation which he remember its inhabitants in general were 'Sited with on account of the Pretender, who was then at Derby, being shortly expected to enter the city.—Dorset Chronicle.
