GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. VIENNA, JUNE 10.—The Imperial Court has gone into mourning for six weeks, for the late King of Saxony. All the preparations for the departure of the French Princes are made. They were to be accompanied to the Austrian frontier by the Chamberlains who were appointed to wait upon them here, but they have declined this honour. Yesterday the Princes viewed the military establishments in this city, and in afternoon visited the Prater. A few days ago they visited the Imperial family vault, where they put up a prayer over the grave of their grandmother, the Queen of the Two Sicilies, and gave to the Guardian of the Capucins a considerable sum, for a mass to be said for her. The Princcs have also paid a visit to Prince Rasumorosk, formerly Prussian Ambassador at Vienna and Naples, who was on terms of friendship with the King of the French, during his residence at Palermo. ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 28.—Very energetic measures are now carrying into effect in order to simplify as much as possi ble the mode of proceeding in all civil offices, and in other things. An attempt is made to reduce the extremely tedious and diffuse Russian office style into shorter and more precise forms. This reform will render the present great number of subalterns unnecessary, and the vacancies will be filled up by a smaller number of more able persons with larger salaries.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 18.—A deplorable duel took place yesterday morning between two gentlemen employed in the department of the interior, one of whom was killed on the spot by a pistol shot fired at the distance of 40 paces; the other was slightly wounded in the breast. The military tribunal of Brabant yesterday acquitted Lieut. Williams of the Guides, for having killed in a duel Lieut. Smit of the same Regiment. The Court acquitted him on the ground, that duelling is not punished by our laws, especially in the case of officers of the army. BELGIAN FUNDS, BRUSSELS, JUNE 17. Actual Debt, 2!i, per Cent.

We understand that Lord Palmerston, after a mos careful examination of the nature of the duties performed by the British Superintendents in China, and of the objects for which they were sent to that country, has come to the conclu sion that a very considerable reduction may advantageously be effected in our establishment in that quarter of the globe. Despatches have already been forwarded to China, announcing the abolition of the office and salary of Chief Superintendent. The office is at present held by Sir George Robinson, and the salary is 6,0001. a year. A very general impression prevails that should the House of Lords on Friday next adhere to Lord Lyndhurst's Bill, Parliament will be prorogued with as little delay as pos sible, and will be called on to re-assemble at a period not later than the month of November. Mrs. O'Connell is in a very precarious state of health. The complaint under which she labours is the dropsy, and little hopes are entertained of her recovery. GRAND . ENTERTAINMENT BY THE OFFICERS OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince and Prince Alexandr and suite, paid a second visit on Friday to Wool wich, and in the evening dined with the officers of this distin guished corps, in the mess-room at the barracks. There were present to meet his Royal Highness the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Hill, General Lord Strafford, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Edward Somerset, the Duke of Beaufort, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir James Kemp, Sir William Clinton, Sir John Elley, Sir Samuel Warren, R.N. ; Sir Willoughby Gordon, Sir Frederick Mulcaster, Sir John Macdonald, Sir Edward Disbrowe, Sir John Smith, Sir Joseph Maclean, Master-Ge neral of the Ordnance ; Gens. Millar and Salmon ; Cols. Sir Alexander Dickson, Sir Robert Gardner, Sir John May, Drummond, Anson, Munro, M'Cleverty, Sir A. Leith Hay, &c., &c. The Royal visitors arrived at the Academy shortly after 11 o'clock. and were received by the Gentlemen Cadets, commanded by Colonel Parker. A Royal salute was fired, and the cadets passed in review before his Royal Highness in slow and quick time. The Prince of Orange expressed in warm terms his satisfaction at this interesting ceremony. The Cadets afterwards went through what is termed the Repository exercise in mounting and dismounting cannon. The celerity and precision of movement excited general admiration. About two o'clock the Princes proceeded to Greenwich, to lunch with the Governor of the Hospital, Sir Thomas Hardy, and again returned to Woolwich in the evening. At 7 o'clock the Royal party entered the Mess-room, where a sumptuous din ner was provided. The Master-General of the Ordnance, Sir Hussey Vivian, presided. On Tuesday last a fine specimen of the rare and remarkable fish, popularly known by the expressive name of the " Sea Devil," was caught in the Severn, near Newnham, in a net with several ether fish. The creature, whose enor mous and formidable mouth could have engulfed a shoal of small fry, weighed 1221b5. The attention of our readers has no doubt been directed to a case which recently occurred at one of the po lice-oqices, in which the ladies of a family, resident in Spring gardens, had been perseveringly annoyed and insulted in the gardens of St. James's Park. Subsequent inquiries, we regret to say, have led to the discovery of many similar cases, which the delicacy of parties had prevented them from noticing at the time of their occurrence, and which have consequently had the effect of excluding from these gardens the majority of the respectable families of the neighbourhood. Measures, how ever, we understand, have been adopted by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, with the Commissioners of Police, which have already Jed to the apprehension of a second delin quent, and if cautiously and properly conducted, as they have bitherto been, will infallibly lead to the exposure of some of these vagabonds (no matter how respectable their appearance) by whom these beautiful grounds appear to have been so long infested. Observer. As one of the railway trains was crossing Chat Moss last Thursday, at the rate of 20 miles an hour, convey ing a loan of Irish pigs to Manchester, one of the swinish multitude, possessed of rather more vigour or more forethought than his companions, suddenly made a flying leap over the side of the carriage, and came down on the railway with a fearful squelch. Fortunately for the interesting quadruped, his fat protected his bones. After lying in a kind of swoon for some moments, he rose and made an attempt to cross the 5110.5.5 ; but, by this time, one of the station-keepers had come up, by whom he was apprehended, and once more restored to his afflicted companions. ROYAL \VIT.—At the late dinner to the Jockey Club, given by his Majesty, Lord Westminster was boasting of Touchstone, and offering to back him for a large sum against anything that could' be named in the field. " I accept the challenge, said the King, " and will name to heat him by a neck." The match was concluded, and his Majesty, called upon to name his favourite, amidst a roar of laughter, named " The Giraffe !"—Literary Gazette. CURIOUS PLANT.—In the island of Cuba is a plant which emits such an intense perfume as to be perceived at the distance of two or three miles. It is of the species Tetracera, and remarkable for bearing leaves so hard that they are used by the native cabinet-makers, and other mechanics, for various kinds of work. It is a climbing plant, which reaches the tops of the loftiest trees of the forests, then spreads far around, and in the rainy season is covered with innumerable bunches of sweet smelling flowers, which, however, dispense their perfume during the night only, and are almost without scent in the daytime. HERNE BAY, JUNE 18.—The packets to this de lightful watering-place, in consequence of their improved machinery, now make the passage from the metropolis in the space of four hours and a half, and bring with them each day an increasing number of passenger. Should the present fine weather continue, the season will be an active one. Among the recent arrivals are Orby Hunter, Esq., Mr. G. Womb well, Sir John Rennie, Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy, Captain Robinson, R. N., and family, Colonel Clitherow, Sir Peter Laurie, and Sir Henry Oxendon, and family. ADULTERATION OF BEER.—At the Excise Court, on Saturday, the landlord of a gin-palace in the Walworth road, was fined in the full penalty of 4001., for adulterating his beer with forty gallons of water to each butt, with a compound of salt, sugar, and Spanish liquorice. An inhabitant of Marseilles has lately discovered that there is a violent poison contained in olive oil. He has also found the means of extracting from the olive all its dele terious quality, and in future it will be easy to distinguish the oil which retains the unhealthy ingredients from that from which it has been withdrawn. The projected railroad from Brighton to the metro polis entirely engrosses the attention of the town. A very large majority of the inhabitants are vociferous for the direct line, and the decisions of the committee on the Brighton Bills have amazed them. On Monday a town meeting takes place, and there is every prospect at present of its being a very stormy one. A few days since a boy named Rossiter, the son of a respectable cooper in Wapping, while playing with some other children in Epping Forest, near Wanstead, met with a common adder, which they commenced beating with small stick until they supposed it was disabled, when the boy Ros siter, who is only eight years of age, picked it up and was holding it up for the inspection of his young companions, when the reptile bit him on the wrist, inflicting apparently only a slight wound. The boy dropped the adder which made its escape, and in a few minutes the boy's arm began to increase in size to so great an extent, accompanied with violent inflam mation and pain, that his friends became alarmed, and he was immediately removed to the London Hospital. The arm be came swollen in a few hours to more than four times its usual size, and the boy has since remained in the hospital in a most precarious condition. The case has received every attention from the me di ca l officers of the institution, but it is 'feared that he will not recover from the effects of the injury, and on Sa turday morning he was pronounced to be in great danger. About three weeks ago an infant, about four months old, the daughter of a dock labourer, named Dixon, residing in Step ney, was bitten by an adder in another part of the same forest, and- ived the wound three days. The mother had irnp'l4l4eriVy id the child on the grass, when the venomous septileatt74 T THE CHURCHYARD OF MORTON.. „ 7 IN- TfIE-...llARepl, -- 1 H6E4I-lielfie bones of Rich ar d L aw t on , - ,, ,i ''' L a l 'lNT.. 3 ,hSerittia,....eth, alas ! was stran ge l y b roug ht o n ; .

The CoMmittee of the Reform Association have issued a Circular, in which they remind Reformers of the duties which they owe to their country, and to the great cause with which the prosperity of that country has been proved to he inseparably connected—.the cause of Reform. 'While the Committee refer with a just pride to the experience of the past year, in proof of the gratifying fact, that " Reformers are able, by union and vigilance, to defeat every attempt on the part of the Tories to tamper with the constituency of the country, and thereby to regain that power, which, for so many years, they Rad experienced and abused," they are careful to guard the public against placing too much reliance on the effect of past exertions. The necessity of continued energy must never for a moment be lost sight of, until we have procured " a full, fair, and honest registration of all persons qualified by law to be electors of Great Britain." This ought now to be the object of every Reformer in the king dom. To this all-important point the whole strength of the reforming interest should be directed. The 20th of July is not far off, and then the die is cast. Let the interval be turned to account. Let the Reformers " give neither sleep to their eyes nor slumber to their eyelids" until they have put the register on a safe footing ; for they may be assured that to that register, after all, will the final appeal be made. It must de cide the question, whether our Irish brethren are henceforth to be treated as " aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in religion." The Morning Post of this day contains a long and singularly dull and dismal article on the subject of the present House of Commons, which, together with its Ministerial Leaders, it pronounces to be the the most refractory and incompetent of any that ever yet assembled to legislate on the affairs of the nation. The House," says our Contemporary, " has been very laboriously idle, and loquaciously unargumenta tive. It has done an immensity to no purpose what ever, and talked an infinite deal of nothing." No doubt this is true to a certain extent ; but whose fault is it ? The Conservatives', most assuredly. This is the party, and none other which, from the first day of Parliament's assembling, has been " loquaciously unargumentative," and " talked an infinite deal of nothing." Look at the infinity of nothings comprised in the speeches of SHAW, GOULBURN, Twiss, JACKSON, and that " young Astyanax" of forlorn Toryism, Sir WM. FOLLETT Look, too, at the unargumentative loquacity of Mr. HARDY, who, for nearly a whole week, engrossed the attention of the House with the discussion of a question— Carlow to wit—on which it was wholly impossible there could be two rational opinions—a question which had not a leg to stand on ; and on which, moreover, the country had fully made up its mind months before it was brought—for factious purposes—under the notice of Parliament. If there have been delays, and irrele vant speechifyings in the House—and that there have been, is undeniable—to the Tories must these be attri buted. They have contributed all the dulness, all the flummery, and no small portion of the bitterness and flippancy to the session. This evening the House of Commons wil 1 be called upon to redeem the hustings pledges of a majority of its Members on the question of cheap knowledge. We shall keep our eyes steadily fixed upon that House— we shall carefully attend to its mode of dealing with a measure of vital moment to the country—and be the result what it may, we shall not fail to note those honourable gentlemen, who, fearful of offending their constituentcies, either absent themselves on the plea of illness, or give the motion a lukewarm or grudged THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1836. support. We do not of course want long speeches on a subject which every reflecting person must know as much about as four-fifths of the Members of the House of Commons. The question of cheap knowledge is not like a question of Foreign policy— incomprehensible without the production of diplomatic state documents in the keeping of a Minister of the Crown. Parliament has learned the importance and the necessity of a free and unshackled press from the country, and therefore the taught may save themselves the trouble of assuming the character of the teachers. All we desire is that those Members who are pledged to the support of this question will for once condescend to imitate the honest elector of Bristol, and lustily cry " ditto " to the speech of the Right Hon. the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on moving the reduc tion of the Newspaper Stamp Duty. We have heard that Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY will persevere in moving his promised amendment for the substitution of cheap soap for cheap newspapers. Let him. We care not, provided a certain high Tory, whose taste for saffron-coloured linen is allowed to equal that of the late Recorder for Bristol, do not se- cond it. We have heard that Sir CHARLES WE THERALL addressed a note to the Hon. Member for Northamptonshire, lamenting that he could not be present during the debate, and kindly offering him the use of an under garment to be worn on the occasion, after the fashion of the Tory CX-ATTORNEY-GE NERAL. This offer was, we understand, declined; Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY alleging that he could not reconcile it to his conscience to take such an unfair advantage of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Be this as it may, the Hon. Baronet is only to be driven from his position by the vote of a majority of the House of Commons. The zeal of the Parliamentary Reformers will be tested this evening. The champions of cheap know ledge, who filled the country with their denunciations of a taxed press, only because they expected to be opposed by Ministers, will find themselves caught in a snare from which they will not be able to extricate themselves, without throwing aside the mask by which they hitherto concealed their political de formity from the people. All that hitherto passed current for gold must now pass the fiery ordeal which will separate the dross from the pure metal. We have already observed that we shall not be found inattentive to the proceedings of this evening. The country may depend upon us for a faithful account of the con duct of its representatives on this momentous occasion. Letters and papers from Madrid to the 13th inst. have been received. They bring no news of the slight. est political importance. CORDOVA was still in the capital, but a report was circulated of his intended de parture to join the Army on the 14th, or on the day fol lowing, at the latest. The country was generally free from any political excitement, though the new Minis try were very active in their efforts to procure a ma jority in the Cortes. The whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Sa turday have been received. They bring accounts from San Sebastian to the 14th instant. The Carlists, finding that they could make no impression on the Legion in open warfare, had betaken themselves to the manufacture of Royal proclamations, inviting them to desert over to the Pretender. Money and promotion are liberally promised to all who will enrol themselves in a new British Legion, which Don CARLOS is pre- paring to organise.

Charleston papers have been received this day to the 21st of May. They state from New Orleans of the 9th of May the following IMPORTANT PROM TEXAS.—By the arrival of the steamer Swiss Bay yesterday we received the annexed, by Captain Walker, who came passenger. It was written by Colonel Hockley, of the Texian army :—" Sir, I have but a moment to give you an account of our victory. We left 500 of the enemy slain. There never was a victory more complete. General Cos was taken and killed by a pistol ball. Santa Anna was taken the next day, about ten miles from the place of action." We have this day received Montreal Papers to the 14th of May, and Quebec Papers to the 12th of May. The Mon treal Papers give the following:—" The Sherbrook Advo cate gives a flattering account of the prospects of that village. Great bustle and activity prevail in it. The introduction of capital into this part of the country by the Land Company will speedily work wonders." We copy from the Sherbrook Advocate the reply of the Royal Commissioners to a petition of the Constitutional As sociation. It states :—" lam directed by his Majesty's Com missioners of Congress to acknowledge the receipt of a peti tion relative to the subjects of complaint as affecting the Eastern Township. lam desired to state, that it will not fail to receive the careful attention of the Commissioners, and that it is probable some or all of their number will visit the Eastern Town-ships during the summer.

CHEAP KNOWLEDGE.—In one Highland parish, by the report of the Assembly's Committee, the schoolmaster has three guineas per annum. In 11 parishes in Argyllshire the salaries are divided into three, and probably do not amount to above 10/. or 11/. each.

EMIGRATION.--The American packet ship West minster (a new and splendidly fitted up vessel), G. Moore, commander, was hauled out of the St. Katharine Docks on Saturday morning, with 200 passengers on board, of whom about 160 are in the steerage, and the remainder in the cabin. They consist of agricultural labourers, tradesmen of small capital, mechanics, labourers, and others who intend settling in the United States and Canada. There are a great many women and children on board. A majority of the farming labourers are from the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and their passage is paid by the parishes to which they have be come chargeable. The Westminster, which is bound for New York, carries a large cargo of silk and other dry goods, and 100,000/. in specie, part of a loan of two millions, contracted for in this country at four per cent. interest, for the establish ment of a new bank in America. MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUICIDE. —Saturday an inquest was held at the Black Lion Tavern, Church-street, Chelsea, on the body of Mr. Robert Sangwell, aged 51, a tradesman. Mrs. Sarah Sangwell, the widow of the deceased, stated that her lamented husband had been in a desponding state of mind for some months previous to his death. The change was, in witness's opinion, in consequence of his pecu niary affairs having become niuch embarrassed. The whole of Thursday he was unusually agitated in his mariner. Wit ness endeavoured to soothe his mind, .when he stared wildly at her and exclaimed, " Sarah, my life ! I was a wild hus band to you when first we met; but God will repay you for such to-morrow." During Thursday night he got up re peatedly from his bed and paced the room in a very perturbed state. On Friday morning witness left the deceased in his bed-room for the purpose of arranging her domestic af f airs, and on her return, in less than twenty minutes, she was shocked at discovering her unfortunate husband suspended by hi s neckerchief to one of the rails of the bedstead. Although her feelings upon the occasion were trying beyond description, she had sufficient nerve to run down stairs for a knife, with which she severed the handkerchief: her husband appeared lifeless. Mr. Phillips, a surgeon, attended in about ten minutes, and declared life extinct. By the Coroner—" My husband had attempted self-destruction before." Verdict of " Temporary derangement." 1837. PARIS, JUNE 17.-The letters shown to-day on 'Change, both from Madrid and the provinces, have no political news of any importance. Only one letter from St. Sebastian affirms that the corps under General Evans will be further re-in forced, and that it seems destined to act an important part in the events which are at hand. All these letters, lately so full of threats ag'ainst the adversaries of M. Mendizabal, have be come much more moderate. It cannot be denied that the firmness of M. Isturiz has much improved the state of affairs; the scarcity of money, and the want of means to obtain it, were the only causes for his immediate fall, but it is affirmed that he is nego eiatimr with the house of Zulueta, in London, and that this affair, which Torreno and Mendizabal had success fully rejected, is on the point of being concluded. The plan is said to be the consolidation of the old and new deferred debt, and payment to be made by the holders of that stock. The amount of this payment is not yet fixed ; but it is affirmed that it will not be less than lb or 20 per cent. M. Zulueta is said to be the principal agent (for a large commission) in this great financial measure; the result of which would be, to bring from 50 to 55 million into the Spa nish Treasury. M. Isturitz could not go very far with this sum, but he would be able to provide for the most urgent wants to push the war in Navarre with more activity, and in short to sub sist for a few months. In the present state of the Spanish Ministry it is a great point to give time. -Messager, June 18. FRENCH FUNDS.-Pants, JUNE 17. Five per Cents., 1081. 35c. 30c.

In the last year of his reign Napoleon levied, independent of the National Guard, 1,300,000, which is more than 100,000 per month. SOUTH-WARWICKSHIRE NOMINATION -4S ap• pointed for Saturday next : the poll will be opened on the 28th. The Warwick Advertiser speaks confidently of Sir G. Skipwith's success. A CONVERT.--In reference to the alleged recent conversion of a Catholic Priest to Protestantism, the Man. chester Guardian brings forward strong presumptive evidence that the said convert, the Rev. John Swayne, and an indivi dual whose name has long been connected with vice and in famy, are one and the same person. MERIONTHSHIRE N O MINATION--Takes place to day, and the polling on the 24th and 25th. Mr. Richards is rather the nominee of the Tory Sir Robert Vaughan, than the representative of the people of Merionethshire ; whilst Sir Wm. Wynn professes principles of decided and salutary Refotm in every pepartment of the Church and State. The working jewellers of Derby have remitted 2/. ss. to London, towards Mr. O'Connell's Dublin election expenses. A person who, in the course of the past week, passed through Crosthwaite, in Westmoreland, tells us that nearly every crop of potatoes in the vicinity of that place has completely failed. In the neighbourhood of Ulverston, and in the extensive district of Furness, the potatoe crops are ge nerally very promising.—Carlisle Journal. At Appleby wool fair, held on 'Wednesday last, there was a pretty good show of Cheviot and Leicester wool, also a small sample of black-faced. The average price of black-faced or fell wool was about 9s. per stone, the other from la. 3d. to Is. 6d. per lb. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. BROWNE. Mr. BODKIN stated the case, which was an indictment for perjury, arising out of circumstances connected with the late election for the city of Canterbury, and which had become the subject of an inquiry before a Committee of the House of Commons. The defendant was examined before that Com mittee, and the evidence given by him was alleged to have been false. He (Mr. Bodkin) had consulted with his Learned Friend on the other side (Mr. Sergeant Merewether), and it appeared to both of them, that he was not in a condition to establish the charge laid in the indictment, and therefore with out saying on which side the mistake, as he would call it, was committed, he was content that the proceeding should termi nate at this point. The Jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. PRINCE V. SAMO. Sir F. POLLOCK stated the case. It was an action brought by Abraham Prince, well known to the public as the proprietor and vender of Prince's Russian Oil, against Mr. Samo, a re lative, for a malicious arrest and imprisonment. It appeared from the statement of counsel, that a sum of 601. had been given to the plaintiff by the defendant as the re sult of a family arrangement which it was afterwards alleged by the defendant was a loan, and not a gift as asserted by Mr. Prince. Mr. Samo accordingly sued out a writ, and had Prince arrested on the 7th April, 1834, and he remained ten months in prison, until the trial came on, when the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant Prince. It was to recover such damages as the Jury would consider rea sonable that the present action was brought ; and he (Sir F. Pollock) would, he trusted, be able to satisfy them that there was no reasonable or probable cause for this arrest and im prisonment ; but that it was the result of malice on the part of Samo. Several witnesses having been examined on the part of the plaintiff, Sir W. FOLLLTT submitted that the plaintiff must be non suited, as he had not given any evidence to show a want of probable cause. After a lengthened argument, Lord DENMAN ON erruled the objection. Sir W. FOLLETT then addressed the Jury for the defendant, and Lord DENMAN summed up at considerable length. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COURT. Frederick Hawkes Nottidge, a respectable looking young man, was indicted with forging and uttering an order for the payment of 21., with intent to defraud Elizabeth Jeffery. Mrs. Jeffrey, the prosecutrix, stated that she knew the prisoner by the name of Hawkes Nottidge Calvert ; he called at her house, 18, Duke-street, St. James's, on Monday, the 2gcl of May, and asked permission to use her apartment, as he ex pected a person from Ludgate-hill to bring him a gold watch and chain. Having obtained permission, he stated that he had come out that morning with only 51. in his pocket, that he had met a young friend who had borrowed it from him, and promised it again in half an hour, but he had lost it in a gambling-house, and he was left entirely without money. He said the prosecutrix would confer a favour upon him if she could obtain change for a cheque for 2/. The prosecutrix stating her willingness to do so, the prisoner drew a cheque for that amount upon Messrs. Ladbrokes, which the pro secutrix sent her; servant to get change at Mr. Blockley's, a wine-merchant, who resided a few doors from her. In a few minutes the servant girl returned with two sovereigns, which the prosecutor gave to the prisoner, who then drew another cheque for 201., which he gave to the prosecutrix, telling her to give it to the person who brought the watch and chain, and to be sure to get a receipt. He also stated that he had other appointments, and could not wait till the person brought the watch. The prisoner then went away, and called again the next morning , at which time he gave his address—Hawkes Nottidge Calvert, Fendall's Hotel, Palace-yard, in writing. The prosecutrix having some suspicion, took the 201. cheque to Ladhroke's, when she was informed no such person banked there. On going to Fendall's hotel, they said they knew nothing of the prisoner, that there had been letters sent there for him, but they did not know him. On the prosecutrix's cross examination by Mr. CLARK SON, the counsel for the prisoner, she stated that she had at one time said if the prisoner would give her the 2/., she would not proceed against him, but she had never said that she be lieved the prisoner did not intend to defraud her, or any thing like that. The prisoner did not ask her to change the cheque, but requested her to get it changed in the neighbourhood for him. She offered to take the 2/. after she heard he was in custody on a charge of fraud. The prisoner's father had called upon her, and offered to pay the 2/. if she would give a letter to the Magistrates requesting them to (rive up the checks. This she refused to do till she had spoken to her solicitor, who stated that he thought she would not do wrong in receiving the 21., provided she informed the Magistrate of it. In consequence of what her solicitor stated, she had received the 21. for about half an hour, sta ting that if she was obliged to prosecute, it should be re turned. Afterwards she thought better of it, and went to the prisoner's father to return the money ; as he refused to receive it, she left it with his clerk. The RECORDER told the prosecutrix that she had acted exceedingly wrong in attempting to compound a felony. The Learned Judge also enquired if her servant was in atten dance, and upon being answered in the negative, and told that she was ill in the Middlesex Hospital, but expected out to morrow, he directed that an officer should immediately fetch her if she was in a fit state to come. _ . George Blockley gave 21. for the cheque produced to the maid servant of Mrs. Jeffrey. Paid the cheque in the course of the day into his bankers, Messrs. Cocks and Biddulph. Elad no suspicion that anything was wrong about the cheque on account of its being brought by the servant of the pro- secutrix. Mr. Hardina, a clerk in the house of Ladbroke and Co., proved that the prisoner did not keep any account at their Mr. J. Harding, a surveyor, had known the prisoner for some time, whose name was Frederick Hawkes Nottige. Never knew him bear any other name. Knew his hand writing, and believed the cheque to have been written by him. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSO - N.-Had heard the pro secutrix say three or four times that she did not believe the prisoner had any intention of defrauding her of the money. The prosecutrix was again called, but persisted in stating that she had made no such statement. _ _ The Waiter at Fendall's Hotel knew the prisoner by sight, as he had called several times at the Hotel enquiring for let ters addressed to Mr. Nottidge : on several occasions letters had been received there so addressed. Witness had never known him by any other name. Elizabeth Hart, the maid-servant of tha prosecutrix, proved taking the cheque to Mrs. Blockley. This was the case for the prosecution. Several witnesses gave the prisoner au excellent character. The REcoaDEn summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The sessions will terminate to-day. DEATII OF TIIE REV. DR. TAYLOR.-A mewl choly and fatal accident befel the Rev. Dr. Charles Taylor, Chancellor of this diocese, on Thursday evening. He had visited Hereford from his residence at ICladley, on Thursday morning, presided as Chancellor in the Consistory Court afterwards, in full health, spent a short time amongst his friends, and then proceeded to return to the vicarage at Madley to dinner. A little before three o'clock he got into his phaeton in Bridge. street, and the servant drove quietly down the street, passing a boy on a horse ; when the carriage had reached the bottom of the street the boy on horseback rode up to the side of it, and some boys who were following him made a considerable noise, which caused the mare in the carriage to kick and plunge, striking the footboard so violently that the servant was thrown from his seat on the ground, and lost the reins, and the mare started off at full speed. When the man fell Dr. Taylor was seen to rise up and look anxiously after him, and then resumed his scat, but unfortunately rose a second time, and when the carriage reached the middle of Wye-bridge he leaped out ; the impetus the motion of the carriage gave in the attempt proved fatal ; he was thrown with great violence with his head on the ground, and was almost immediately taken up by Mr. Kaill, of Bye street, who witnessed the accident, and the servant, who had escaped with little injury. They found the unfortunate gen tleman dreadfully injured and perfectly insensible. He was conveyed to the Saracen's Head Inn near the spot. He was put to bed, but the injuries sustained caused his death about two hours and a half after the accident occurred. He re mained in an unconscious state till he breathed his last. Dr. Taylor was in his 56th year, and had been Chancellor of the diocese eleven years.—Hereford Journal. For several years Dr. Taylor was the head master of Hereford School, which situation he lately resigned, and was succeeded by his son. At the time of his death he was Prebend of Hereford Cathedral and Chancellor of the Diocese, Vicar of Almeley, Hereford shire—patron, the Bishop of Hereford, and of Madley, with Tibberton curacy, in the same county—patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Hereford.__ Oxford Herald. The Tory Peers will have some difficulty in finding an excuse for rejecting the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill. They fixed upon a period for their inquiry subsequent to that which furnished the Commons with evidence of the general cor ruption of the borough, —no doubt, in the expectation that the supporters of the Bill would be unprepared to meet them on that ground. They seem to have been caught in their own trap ; for it appears by our Parliamentary report, that, in the very election selected by the Tories, the voters were bribed under the seal of one of the candidates himself, to the extent of some hundreds, at the rate of 3/. and 6/. a-head. Lord Wynford is very sly ; but no lawyer in existence can whitewash Stafford. —Spectator. The late Wm. Godwin's library and MSS. were brought to the hammer on Saturday and Friday last (by Sotheby and Son). Among the works, which amounted to nearly 1,000, and in one instance, a lot consisted of 300 vo lumes, there were some fine editions and valuable copies of our old English Poets and Constitutional writers—Spencer, Syd ney, Waller, Milton, Harrington, &c. They fetched, in ge neral, excellent prices. The name of Godwin was not written in any one; but in many of the volumes there were his MS. corrections, written in a good firm hand. Those volumes were anxiously bought.

We are really astonished to fi that a sincere Reformer. such as we firmly believe the Duke of Richmond to be, shouldl seek to throw his shield over the acknowledged abuses of the • Post-office department. He complains, it would seem, of the. insufficiency of the evidence upon which the present Commis— sioners have come to the conclusion that a change in the con stitution of that establishment would be expedient, and ac— cordingly he proposes that a Select Committee should now be: appointed to investigate the subject. If it were possible to suppose that Mr. George Henry Freeling could desire to de fer, to an indefinite period, the reform of the Post-office esta blishment, we do not believe that, in his great ingenuity, he could desire a more suitable mode of proceeding for effecting his object than that proposed by the Duke of Richmond. h his Grace the only man in the kingdom ignorant that even so far back as 1788 a reform of its constitution was recommended —that similar recommendations were made in 1797, 1809, and 1829—a1l emanating from Committees and Commissions of In quiry. We are anxious to know what the Duke of Richmond will say to the Sixth Report, but we must not insult him by supposing that he is in any respect a party to a monstrous pro ceeding which is reported to have been adopted against one of the witnesses examined by the Commissioners. We feel so much repugnance to believe what we have heard on that subject, that we refrain for the present from any more distinct allusion to it.—Observer. The closing paragraph in this article may welt astonish those who know but little of the tyrannical freaks of the Post-office authorities. It will appear to them incredible, but we can assure them that the report alluded to by our contemporary, is positively founded on fact. We can state on the best authority, that one of the witnesses, who gave evidence before the Commissioners of En quiry, with respect to the defective state of the packet establishment at Holyhead, has been sent for by the Post-office authorities, and has been for some days past undergoing a sort of Star Chamber examina tion before the Postmaster-General, his Under Secre tary, and the late packet agent at the Holyhead station, whom our readers may remember resigned. his situa tion pending the inquiry, and before the Treasury minute, passing a severe censure on him, was issued. We are in formed that the witness alluded to is deprived of the assis tance of any legal adviser—that he is not allowed to put in any documents to prove the truth of his statements to the Commissioners—and, in fact, that he is subjected to that sort of investigation which we cannot but designate as an inquisitorial tyranny unknown to the laws, and. opposed to every principle of justice in this country. The proceeding is a direct insult to the Commissioners of Inquiry, and we trust some independent Peer will be found in his place this evening, when the 'notion of the Duke of Richmond comes on, to inquire of the Postmaster- General, or the Government, the reasons for ads atrocious proceeding. O'CONNELL SUBSCRIPTI ON. Meetings have been held by the Reformers of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, York, Newcastle, Black burn, Worcester, and Cheltenham, and Committees or ganized to collect a subscription worthy the acceptances of Mr. O'Connell. Active Committees for the same purpose have been already formed at Evesham, Carlisle, Leeds, Kendal, and Beverley. There is no doubt, if similar efforts are made by the Re formers in general, a very large sum will be collected, in spite of the tricks of the Tory faction, who see, in the promptitude with which the Reformers are coming forward on this occa sion, their own downfall, and would wish by every in cans to defeat it. They fear, also, through these means, Englishmen are expressing their confidence in the policy pursued by his Majesty's Ministers towards Ireland, and a sympathy with her wrongs, by offering to indemnify against their persecution her chosen advocate, and the indefatigable assertor of civil. and re ligious liberty. The Reformers of Wolverhampton have called a meeting for to-day, and in a very spirited and sensible address asset-0, that " O'Connell, as the Friend of Liberty, is the friend of the British nation, and shall not be crushed."
