EVENING EDITION. TRIAL OF M. PE`TTEL FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE AND SERVANT. COURT OF ASSIZES OF THE MN. Our readers will remember our having stated at the time (with many particulars) that a horrible murder had been committed, on the Ist November, 1838, on the wife of M. Peytel, a notary of Belley, in the Ain, which was at first believed to have been done by his servant as they were returning home in the evening, and that the latter was immediately killed by his master in revenge for lye assassination. M. Peytel was at first arrested, and afterwards liberated, but .circumstances coming to . . light at a subsequent period to confirm the suspicions gene rally entqrtained in that part of the country that he was himself the murderer, both of his wife and his servant, lie was again arrested. Examinations of the greatest possible minuteness and sagacity hive ever since been constantly carried on by the local authorities, and at last, on the 26th ult., he was brought up for trial on a charge of the double murder before the Court of As sizes atßourg. So intense was the anxiety caused through out the adjacent districts and in that town by the event, that during the five days which the triallasted, the Court was :Iva) s thronged to exzess ; and the popular indigna tion was so strong, that every day whenever the opportunity occurred ou his being brought up from prison to the Court, the most ferocious imprecations were uttered against him by the populace. The prisoner (Peytel) is a short mile, about 35 years of age, and ap pcared in Court dressed in mourning ; he was ob served throughout the proceedings to be very pale, and at times much dejected. The number of witnesses for the prosecution was 87, for the defence 30. Among the termer were M. Casimir Broussais, son of the cele brated medical professor, and who married the sister of Aimee Peytel ; M. de Montrichard, another of the pri sonte's brotoerssin-law ; the President of the tribunal of Belley ; the lieutenant of gendarmerie- of that station, and many other gentlemen of high respectability. Among the witnesses for the defence were Docto: Oli vier, of Angers, the celebrated physician ; sea evel other medic .1 men,reind various personal friends of th: pri. sorer. At the commencement of the proceedings a distressing scene occurred in court, by Mine. Broussais, sister to the deceased Mine. Peytel, going into violent hysterics, and being forced to be taken out of court. The indictment, which occupied an hour in reading, atter r ecapitulating in great detail all the facts of the case, such as our readers have already had laid before them, disclosed some new circumstances of coneiderable importance, on which, indeed, the prose cation was mainly founded, and which, for brevity's sake, and to avoid needless repetitions, we may at at once say were in general fully substantiated by the evidence. It appeared that Peytel was a man not of very good character previous to his marriage; so much so that he had in trying to get admitte: to the purchase et a notary's charge at Marlon, his native place. He afterwards, however, settled to purcha,c one at Belley, but he had not sufficient money to pay for it, and tins, among other circumwaaces tend ing to urge bias to procure money, led him to propose, in 1838, to MU. Felicite Aicezar,the daughter of a most respectable family of the French colonies, and of good in come, and whose father had been a colonel in the English service. In made a fahe representa tion of his circumstances to her family, and on her mother desiring that the marriage settle ments might be drawn up like those of her other previously married daughter, he promised that they shou!d bo so, but in reality contrived to falsify them, and it was only after the marriage had taken place that it was found'he had a legal right over much more of his wife's property than had been intended. Within a few hours ~after the marriage had been solemnised, he commenced a course of harsh, and at times violent, conduct against his wife (to which indeed the natural giddy tem per of the unfortunate lady gave some slight excuse), nit 'I in a few days disposed of 50,000 fr. of her money, wilich he appropriated to his own purposes. They continued to live very unhappily together, and a se paration was wished for by Madame Peytel ; but her hrother-la-law, M. C. Broussais, persuaded her not to indulge in any idea of the kind, and • her relatives even rebuked her for what they considered the fault ( of her character. , Shortly after this time Peytel con : trive,l, by feigning that he had made a will, leaving all his property to his wife in case of his death, to get her i to do the some thin.. ' for bim ; and after the melanch o ly death of his wife had occurred, and he ILtd been fiber- wed from prison for the first time, he had caused this teyAamuntary document to disappear. On the other hand, it was stated in the indictment, and equally proved by the evidence, that Louis Rey, the man ser vant, whom Peytel accused of being his wife's murderer, and whom he had himself killed, was a man of the most exemplary character, and who had ved with credit in the army and in all situations in which he bad been plat id, was of a mild and open cha racter, and most un.iko y to be actuated by any mo ttivr, ~ f revenge or cupidity against his employers. The p isoner had thrown out insinuations against the man ci ly after his death, and had never been known to ci mplain of him before. It was further stated in the iuntetn,nt, and ultimately proved by the testimony , of the medical witnesses, that Madame Pcytel had I r . ,,-_ceived two wounds from two separate pistols, Ort from a single one, as her husband had pretended ; that they were fired with the muzzles of the wea pon almost touching her face, her eyelashes and skin 1 ' b.ing burnt by the powder ; that the wounds were in such a position that it was impossible for the servant to have fired them by leaning into the cabriolet, as the prisoner had, oa his previous examination, contended ; and, finally, that the bullets were such •as corresponded to pistols kept in the carriage by the prisoner. The con duct of'Peytel, after he had gone for assistance when the murder had been committed, was most strange and incon ri,tant. It was proved that his wife must have died instan taneously, whereas her body was found in a flooded meadow by the road side, and must have been carried thither. On seeing his wife's body he had not helped to carry it into the cabriolet, but had left others to do SO ; had then coolly taken the reins to drive on him self., and on coming to the part of the road where the dead body of the servant lay, had driven the carriage over it. Some bullets had been found in the servants trunk, but it was asserted in the indictment, and proved darin g the trial, that the prisoner had sent him to buy themhimself ; and various other artifices which he had adopted, with a view of throwing overwhelming sus picion on his servant's character, were entirely unmasked. After a great deal of evidence had been adduced, and eounsel on either side heard, the President summed up, and the jury, after having deliberated for an hour and a half, returned a verdict of Guilty, with premedita tion. The prisoner, who was very pale, heard the verdict with calmness. When the sentence of death was pro nounced, ha had a slight nervous attack, which soon ceased. " Ah, my God !" he exclaimed, with an agi tated voice, and putting his hand to his forehead. " Oh, my head is splitting ! oh, my God ! I shall have an apoplexy !" A single voice in the auditory ex claimed—" Vivent les jurea," but the president imme diately ordered silence to be observed. Notwithstand ing the lateness of the hour a great crowd remained sta tionary in all approaches to the court, and it was not till after this was dispersed that Peytell was conducted back to prison. He then seemed to have recovered his firmness, and said—" My life has been stamped with misfortune. What signifies a few days more or less? Tell my friends that I meet death with fortitude." Peytell has appealed to the Court of Cessation. On being taken from court, he was confined in a much closer cell than previous to the trial. A person who went to see him found h;m lying on a straw mattress, but was received without any embarrassment. M. Gaverni, the artist, who had been summoned from Paris as a witness for the defence, arrived too late, and was very much grieved at finding he could not give his evidence in favour of the prisoner. Peytel, on the day before his conviction, seemed to be certain of an acquittal, and had arranged with his sister to take his departure in the night for M neon to visit his mother. He named a late hour to avoid the cries of the people.

TILLERY, UTENSILS, AND VALUABLE BRITISH WINE TRADE CONNECTED THEREWITH. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is empowered to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURS DAY, the 26th of September, at Twelve o'Clock, by direction of Mr. Williams, the respected owner, A MALT DISTILLERY OF FIRST-RATE CHARACTER AND IMPORTANCE, en the BANK OF THE RIVER SEVERN, IN THE CITY OF WORCESTER, together with the valuable Plant, the Site of the Buildings, Malt Houses, Cattle Stills, Granaries, &c., all under one roof, except the Spirit Store Rooms, which are detached, together also with the Plant of "THE RECTIFYING DISTILLERY," Utensils, and VALUABLE BRITISH WINE TRADE connected therewith. It may be well hist to premise, that the reason for this sale will be very encouraging to a successor. THE DISTILLERY ORIGINATED IN 1729 by an ancestor of the present Proprietor, and during a PERIOD OF ONE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS it has continued in the family, each having carried it on success fully. It may be asked—where is a corresponding case to be found, or one so encouraging to those who would connect themselves WITH THIS WHEEL OF FORTUNE? As it is most probable all the competitors for this first-rate concern will desire to have ocular demonstration of the facts that have been slightly glanced at, the prestlit statement will be confineu only to a very few of its prominent features. The Property is nearly all Freehold, and has been completed at Intervals by means of an immense outlay, and may now be very safely designated one of THE MOST COMPLETE MALT DISTILLERIES IN ENGLAND. It is wisely pthced a few yards only from the River Severn, and the Rectifying House and buildings suitable for the Wine Trade, are immediately on the opposite side the river. The Distillery and Rectifying House are close to TO THE RADICAL ELECTORS OF MANCHESTER. GENTLEMEN, lAM informed from various quarters , that f rom an early period of the day, the electors on their way to the polling-booths were assured that I had resigned. I should have thought my past conduct would have prevented any elector from supposing me capable of so contemptible a proceeding. You have been outwitted ; and all you have to do is to try again. Poll against the Whigs on Friday. Let us calculate what we have lust and what we have gained. We have been deprived of the expected opportunity of making a demonstration of our numbers in Manchester. But we have made a rally for the Unrepresented, which will not be lost sight of, and have set the example of a movement which others u ill follow with better fortune than ours. All success cornea by perseverance. Our enemies shall hear of us again, and shortly. Good easy men of Manchester, did not you know that all you heard from the enemy was to be disbelieved? I am, Gentlemen, your ob edient servant, Sept. 5, 1839. T. PERRONET THOMPSON. RADICAL ELECTORS OF MANCHESTER, You have fallen to pieces before the commonest of election stratagems. The first whiff of Whig wind blew you down like a house of cards. You have made a sorrowful display, not of your strength, but of your skill in using it ; for nobody be lieves there arc only 63 men in Manchester who wish for Universal Suffrage and dislike the New Poor Law. Men pining in prisons were listening for you,. women and children in poor-neuses were looking through the grates to see you do something towards their relief ; the Unrepresented everywhere had their eyes upon you; and lo the Manchester mountain pro duces a list of 63. But failures are of little consequence except as they affect men's minds. You have carried much, though not all you might. Badly as you have managed, you have clearly esta blished the fact that no political party can do without you. he Whigs' majority has been brought down from 1,877 to 127; and they will not be in a hurry to try what it will be next. What has dispersed you now, will never do it again. At a General Election, which cannot be far off, you will bring in your man, ar.d choose what other party you will take into partnership. See now what yol would have gained if you had stood stoutly to your work this time. Ranicalisn would have been picked out of the dirt into which it has been trodden by the detection of its leaders in the House of Commons and the errors of the Chartists. A " heavy blaw and notable discouragement" would have been given to the compact which keeps the Whigs in office as the cat's-paw of the Tories. This is what you have done by halves. But the half is worth keeping, and shall be kept accordingly. All honour to the 63. A plain medal shall be struck, "In commemoration of the sixty-three electors of Manchester who voted at the raising of the flag of the Unrepresented in Sep tember 1839," and the name of a voter engraved on each. The time will come when your families will vattie them. To the rest,---Keep the colour which I left with you, and see if anotber'time you can support it better. I remain, your sincere and faithful servant, T. PER. BONET THOMPSON. Manchester, 7th September, 1839. BIRMINGHAM POLICt: BILL , T a Meet►n of the TOWN COUNCIL o the BOROUGH nf BIRMINGHAM, held in the Corn. mittee-room of the Town Hall, on the 3d of September instant The MAYOit in the Chair; It was resolveil as follows . That the Act, which has just passed through Parliament, in tituled `• An Act for improving the Police of Birmingham." is, in effect, a measure of confiscation of almost the whole, and, certainly, of, by far, the most important of the municipal rights of this newly-created Corporation. That the measure in question was introduced unsolicited and unsought by this Council: an assertion, to which it will not be enough to say in answer, that the Mayor had previously ad dressed a letter to the Secretary of State for the fiome Department, suggesting the expediency of assisting the bo rough with a loan, for the purpose of establishing a more efficient police ; since that letter was not, nor did it pro fess to be, written by the authority or with the privity of the Town Council; but was, on the face of it, merely a private inquiry as to the probable course of the Govern ment in the matter to which it related:—whilst the intima tion which it contained that, if the answer were favourable, the Town Council should be convened to consider the subject, told, as plainly a; words could speak, that, as yet, the Council had not expressed any opinion with respect to the proceeding. That, moreover, so far was the letter in question from sug gesting, or, even in the most distant manner, hinting at the appointment of a Government Commissioner, or the establish ment of so odious and unconstitutional a force as a Government Police , that it distinctly pointed out the Town Council as the recipients of the loan, and the only proper authority for apply ing it to its intended purpose. That, however the Government may now choose to put a different construction on this communication from the Mayor, it is plain that it was, at first, distinctly understood in this sense, and in this sense alone, by the Home Secretary, who, accordingly brought a Bill into Parliament authorising a loan of Ten Thousand Pounds to the Town Council. Nor was it until Sir Hobert Peel, and a deputation from the Birmingham Tories, in perfect consistency with their known hostility to popular institutions, and the representative principle, had sig nified to him their wishes on the subject (wishes apparently two much like command), that he abandoned his original mea sure, and substituted in its place another, which, if it were not contrived on set purpose, was, at all events, obviously cal culated to afford a triumph to the opposite party, by taking away the authority, and disparaging the character of the new municipal system. That the measure, thus introduced by the Government, on the suggestion of its political opponents, is obviously founded on false pretences :—For, though the reason for passing the Act, as alleged in the preamble, is, that " doubts are entertained as to the authority of the Corporation to levy rates;" (doubts, be it observed, which never ought to have existed, and never would have existed, had only proper caution been exercised in framing the Charter ; ) yet, instead of adopting Lord Brougham's sug gestion of limiting the duration of the Act to the continuance of those doubts, it fixes, for this purpose, an arbitrary and un necessarily long period of two years, and " from thence to the end of the next. Session of Parliament." Words of an alarm- ing import, and showing an already half-formed intention to renew the measure on the expiration of the appointed time. That, as a further proof ofhe disingenuousness which has characterised the whole of this proceeding, it is worthy of ob servation, that, when Lord Brougham proposed to vest the appointment of the Commissioner in the Town Council rather than in the Government, the suggestion was resisted by Lord Duncanuon, on the strange ground, " That the Town Council had petitioned for a police :—" a ground as has already been shown, false in fact, and, even if true, absurdly inconclusive as an argument ; since it is surely one thing to have a police, and another to have a Government Commissioner at the head of it. That, no sooner did the Council become acquainted with the real nature of this measure, than they indignantly repudiated it, as a marked insult to the intelligent Burgesses of this town, than whom, no where can men be found better fitted for the duty of self-government—as an outrage to the representative principle —and as a violation of that system of municipal polity, which has ever been deemed, and by none professedly, more than by the present Ministers, to lie at the foundation of—and to be the best security for—NaTIoNAL LIBERTY. That, unless this usurpation be firmly resisted at the threshold, this Council truly believes, and now warns the people of Eng land to that eff.'ct, that the precedent just created will not prove barren ; but that, upon one pretence or other, all the Mu nicipal bodies throughout the country, will, before long, be stripped of their rightful privileges and authorities, and reduced to a state of slavish submission to the general Government. That, for the above reasons, this Council does now, strongly and emphatically, PROTEST against the attempt, thus made, to engraft one of the most pernicious institutions of Conti nental tyranny on the true English system of popular repre sentation ; and hereby declares its conviction, that it is in duty bound to avail itself of all just and lawful means to relieve this town, and to guard the country, at large, from a measure so despotic and unconstitutional. By Order of the Council, W. REDFERN, Town Clerk. THE BRIDGE IN WORCESTER. It is not perhaps generally known that one of the leading causes of such a succession of good fortune arises out of a fact which it may be well to notice; fortunately it has not had to contend with compe tition and rivalry THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THERE ARE ONLY 12 MALT DISTILLERIES, and nothing nearer to Worcester than Bristol and Liverpool. A purchaser will necessarily require considerable capital to em bark in this field of fortune; great accommodation will, however, he afforded to those who can offer solid security. To conclude: Mr. Robins dares not trust himself to proclaim THE SECRETS OF THE PRISON HOUSE - _ In a public announcement; the profits have been satisfactwy ; the pre cise amount will be left as a "bonne bouche" to those individuals who make a journey to Worcester, who, if aided by strong concurring testimony, of great respectability, will be allowed a full opportunity to investigate, and see, upon record a happy illustration of the cha. racter so imperfectly awarded to it by this short announcement. The Water Carriage from the Severn River and Canal to distant parts of England, and the Railroad, which is nearly accomplished to London and to Bristol, are auxiliaries that will not escape public attention.

The Moniteur Parisien of Saturday night, re ceived by extraordinary express, has the following highly important telegraphic despatch : • " THE GENERAL COMMANDING TIIE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " Don Carlos has dismissed the wh o l e o f hi s C our t an d his Ministers. He has returned to Lecumbery. " MM. Da !a Piscina, Erro, &c., have taken refrge in Franco. " The Navarrese battalions commit every species of ex cess. General Moreno s shot yesterday at Urciax." The civil war is at last at an end We expect to learn by the next despatch, that Don CARLOS has taken shelter in France. Of all the Carlist Ge nerals CABRERA only keeps the field, but his re cent discomfitures by General O'DoN NELL prove that he is no longer so formidable as he was twelve months ago. The following telegraphic de spatch, published in the Moniteur of Saturday mot ning prepared us for the surrender of DON CARLOS, seeing that he made no attempt to de fend Tolosa " BAYONNE, SEPT 6 " Maroto has retired to Bilboa. Espartcro has arrived at Tolosa. The provincial battalions are cEssolvcd, and the men dismissed to their homes. Those of Castile go to Logrono. Don Carlos was on the 4th at Lanz, pro tested still by Elio with the Navarrese." Lanz is not distant more than a couple of leagues from the French frontier, and as Don CARLOS had not the least confidence in. the fidelity of his at tendants, it cannot be doubted that he fled there in order to escape safely to France. The Pretender displayed throughout this affair so deplorable a want of moral and physical courage as to fill the officers about his person with the greatest contempt for him. He seemed half dead with terror, and fancied that all who approached him designed to betray him into the hands of ESPARTERO. Ge neral MAROTO, before retiring to Bilboa, where he will probably take shelter on hoard a British ship of war, addressed a proclamation to his late com panions in arms, in which he says that : " Convinced by experience that Don CARLOS could never confer happiness on my country, and united in sentiment with the military chiefs of Biscay (SIMON LA TORRE), Guipuzcoa (ITURRIAGA), and Castile (URRisToNno), and some others, I wished to give the country peace !—that peace so desired by all." iVIARoTo adds, " that the reso lution to sacrifice him had been taken ; men are not made of bronze, and they cannot, like chame leons, feed on worms. The country was exhausted, and the army was in misery." MAROTO termi nates his proclamation thus :—" Provincials, let the sentiments of peace and union be eternal in our hearts, and let us for ever banish resentment. This advice is giren you by your comrade and general." This news has, of course, created a great sensa tion in Paris. The Carlist organs are in despair. The personal worthlessness and cowardice of Don CARLOS have lost him the few chivalrous friends he had in the French capital. No Frenchman can commiserate the downfall of a coward. It is said that Don CARLOS has written an autograph letter to LOUIS PHILIPPE, offering to refer the claims of his family to the decision of an European Con gress. Such a proposal, if really made, is not only inadmissible, but preposterous. The Governments of France, England, and Spain are only entitled to determine his future fate, and that of his children. There is at present a singularity in our political press which is worthy of notice. When the Whigs were in opposition, the mass of the Liberal journals were constant and earnest in exposing abuses. Now those journals are only intent on defending the Ministers, shielding them, if possible, from the at tacks of the Tories, and they give political abuses a holiday. If the Tory journals had taken up the cause which the Liberal journals have cast away, as it is of no consequence to the public by what party an abuse is exposed and put down, if it be done, the alteration in the press would be a matter of indifference. But the Tories are the persons who chiefly profit by the abuses which ruin the State, and not one of their journals betrays the smallest inclination to promote political improvement. They are one and all engaged in a hot personal warfare against the Ministers, which attracts the Liberal journals to encounter them in the same field, and the consequence is, that at present political abuses are almost unassailed. If the mere accession of the Whigs to office had put an end to abuses, in stead of engendering some peculiar ones and aug menting others, and if it were not in the nature of things that abuses continually arise, and are con tinually strengthened, continually needing the watchful eye and the pruning hand of the press, such a peculiarity in the present direction of the press would not be worth notice; but as there are heaps of abuses to be re formed which continually augment, the present condition of the press will turn out we are afraid to be a great public misfortune. Abuses which should be gradually destroyed, will accumu late till nothing less than a convulsion will sweep them away. The short time that the professors of Reform principles have been in office, during which there has arisen this truce to the war against abuses, seems to imply that very little will ever be effected by merely altering the technical direction in which arrogant and usurping power carries its wishes into effect. Since the Whigs have become settled in office they have done very little for the people. It is of not much consequence therefore, which section of the aristocracy has possession of the Govern ment. If the power of which the people feel the weight be driven from boroughs and courts, it cor rupts cities and takes up with Commissioners. If it be forced to evacuate the corners of Cathedrals, and to share some of its exclusive privi:eges with Dissenters, it builds and consecrates new temples in which to dwell. The war against abuses should therefore be directed against the source of them. The influence of the priesthood must be attacked ; the power of the aristocracy, titled and monied, landed and manufacturing, should be assailed ; for while these great and united bodies possess their present power to corrupt and enslave the bulk of the people, in what mode they exercise it will be of comparatively trifling importance. To convince the public that the priesthood are unworthy of con fidence, that their cnly real object is to obtain and pre serve wealth for themselves—with which it is pos sible the public welfare may co-exist, but of that they make no acc oun t— s h ou ld , now be a leading object of the independent Liberal press. To demonstrate that the landed aristocracy really look only to enrich ing themselves while they make laws which really plunder the people, though they pretend that they mean to enrich them and strive to protect them, is at present one of the first duties of those who are convinced that unless abuses be rooted out the society will be exposed to imminent danger. To re%zt;r,! our institutms to tl,^ rcsi,ect of the peqlo „,,,,t be partied and thr.:y can cnty be ptsitici by abating the power of the two bodies the aris tocracy and the priesthood, who subsist in splendour by corrupting and debasing munity. the rest of the co►n- We copy from the Caiiiiiatolt and DenMgh Herald, an account of the manner in which the bequest of a Doctor JEFFRY GLYNN, to matl tain a school for the education of poor mews children at Bangor hai been perverted, as an appro priate pendent to the cases of the school at Kirton, and the Mere Hospital at Lincoln. In the Bln gor case the property, which seems to have been ample to fulfil the intentions of the d: , nor, was placed under the trusteeship of the Bishop of the Diocese, but it has been " diverted to other pur poses." "The Bangor school) says the editor (is a fair (foul qy.) specimen of the manner in which hundreds of similar foundations expressly intended for the benefit of the poorer classes of the community, when left to the tender mercies of the Church, have been burked, and their funds prostituted to the selfish objects of indivi- duals." The cases we quoted on Saturday bear out the remark that there arc hundreds of similar foundations, expressly intended for the poor, which have been appropriated by the priesthood to their own uses. The other remarks of our Contempo rary are deserving of public attention, and they will be found in an article under the head " Dis honesty of the Priesthood."• We by no means bring forward these cases at present as things wholly new and unknown ; inany similar cases have been brought under the public notice before, but seem to be almost forgotten. Just now these fresh cases conic appropriately to revive in the public mind a knowledge of the iniquities of the priesthood, because that body is labouring most assiduously to blacken the character of Dissenters, Catholics, and Idolators, and indeed of all men who do not hearken exclusively to them. They are en gaged in a most odious and uncharitable crusade against men of all other religions, as witness the calumnies of which .`7;l. CHARLES FORBES has shown the Bishop of LONDON made himself the ready instrument to disseminate in his place in Parliament —the petitions which the Protestant Society are getting up against Messrs. WYSE, MORE O'FERRALL, and SHIEL, because they are Catholics—and the persecutions, some of which are recorded in our paper of to-day, cf Dis senters, for not paying Church-rates ; and, there fore, it is now most appropriate, and indeed espe cially necessary, to bring the delinquencies of our intolerant, ambitious, and persecuting p riesthood prominently before the public. Let it not be said for one moment that the cases we have quoted, are the vices of individuals and do not affect the body. It is not so. The case of the Mere Hospital implicates the whole body of the diani lied clergy of Lincoln, for many years. There is the will of the founder, SIMON DE RoPPELL. ill their own possession, constituting the title deed of the estate they have administered, and in that, it is as plainly written as words can write, that the bequest was for clothing and maintaining thirteen poor persons. These dignitaries could no more have been ignorant of the purpose of the devise, than of their own misappropriation of the funds, and they have gone on for mote than 2.00 years knowingly taking the property of the poor, and appropriating it to their own use. In a report made to CHARLES 11. in 1665, the revenues of Mcre Hospital were described as " considerable, and said to be perverted;" yet all the successive Bishops, Deans, and Chapters, from that time down to the present day, have gone on knowingly and wilfully taking away the property of the poor, and converting it into a heritage for them.. selves and their children. The last person who bestowed it was Dr. PRETYMAN TOMLINE, the Bishop of Lincoln, and he bestowed it on his son, the Rev. RICHARD PRETYMAN ; both these Rev. gentlemen, in giving and receiving, only imitated the example of previous Bishops, their sons, nephews, and reverend protegees. We are entitled from this one case, and there are many similar cases in every part of the country, to affirm that the practices we have denounced are common to the great body of the priesthood. They are in truth more prevalent amongst the dignitaries of the body than amongst the working clergy, who, though they share not in the plunder, are obliged to bear the contumely which the conduct of Bishops and Deans brings on their order. It must not be said or thought that the length of time during which the dignitaries of Lincoln have misappropriated these funds justifies their conduct ; that, having plundered the pocr: for a long . period, they have acquired a right to plunder them. If this be so then are the inquiries of the Commis sioners wholly useless, and the Act of Parliament, which constitutes them, ought to have prescribed some term beyond which their inquiries should not extend. The warrant by which they go back to the origin of such property justifies us in saying that it is no excuse for the conduct of the existing generation of parsons, that their predecessors, in spite of the express terms of wills and charters, have appropriated to their own use the property destined for the poor. If there be any one cir cumstance which is supposed more than another to to give a heinous character to acts of spoliation, it is that of abusing a trust confided by the will of the dead : and that characteristic of heinousness belongs to the conduct of the clergy in the cases we have quoted. On a more minute examination than we could give the Report on Saturday we find that the value of the property is thus described : " The estate belonging to the hospital is situated four i gt t u h fre e anic fere. farm, miles south of the city of Lincoln, and is said to be extra i lo ) y a ni r en o gl c a h r It comprises 874 A. 2a. 20e. e a . nd is remarkably adapted to for ta though at present it in the occupation of four tenants, the chief of whom is Mr. Wm. Mackinder, who hold s Major Colegrave." parochial withinaagnardi agricultural It was the MAJOR who paid the fines of 13,4281. mentioned on Saturday, and he no daulit derives an income from the land as well as the Revereld Mr. PRETYMAN and the tenant. In fact, the land is described by a sur veyor as " worth 255. per acre," and " since the improvement of the times 30a. per acre." At the smaller sum the annual rent will be 1,0921., from which deduct 241. given to the poor and 81. to the Chapelwarden, and we arrive at the sum of 1,0601. per year of which the poor of Lincoln are de frauded by the Clergy of Lincoln. The public will no longer be surprised at the obstinate resis tance which the Clergy made to the proposed in quiry into Church leases, nor at their having set to work all the engines at their command to thwart every plan for ascertaining the exact amount of their revenues, and for appropriating them to the purposes for which they were originally destined. Under the head of " Police Intelligence" will be found a report of some proceedings which took place at Bow-street on Saturday, founded on the clause of the New Police Act relative to the opening of pub lic houses on Sunday. It will be recollected that the ex-Magistrate, Mr. MINSHULL, among the last of his official acts fined a number of publicans 5/. each for what he considered a breach of the Act. Though the Bill had been passed only the previous week, though one of the defendants had received no notice of the intentions of the police authorities, an d a very general belief prevailed among well-informed persons that the decision of the Magistrate was at variance with the spirit and letter of the Act, he, nevertheless, im posed the highest fine, at the same time very con sistently expressing his re:iret that there was no ap peal. This was Mr. MINSHULL S last. Next came the new Chief Magistrate, Mr. HALL, and on Saturday the proprietor of the Grand Hotel, Covent G ar d en , appeare d before him on a similar informati on . H e h a d k e pt his house'open for two Saturday nights after twelve, he h ad Member s o f Parliament, an d N o bl e L or ds, and other great peo ple as cu s t omers, an d if h e was really committing an offence against the law with the concurrence of these Legislators, and also repeating the offence, it was the duty of the Magistrate to visit it with the utmost penalty. No• such thing. He . was fined forty shillings. So much for the caprice of Ma gistrates. But this is not the only inconsistency in these cases. The solicitor for the defendant urged the common sense a nd also the literal sense view of the c l ause, conten di n g that the Legislature meant a practice, a n d h e m i g h t h ave a dded, had they meant new opening with reference to the former anything else, that they would have expresdv declared that all public-houses shall be closed at twelve. Th e M ag i stra t e however saw the case with a legal eye, and asserted that the objection could not for one moment be supported. Both Mr. MINSHULL and Mr. HALL, appear to have divined the intention of the Legislature clearly, et, lien the u ill ' or ojuate pubiietu) inquire how shall act 'not to offend against the law, he is informed by the Chief Magistrate that he must decline answering a question involving a point which was not before him to decide. Now this very point was before him. It wits th.e point 1 Optinog i or keeping ortn, the house for a cus tomer who might want a bed alter twelve ; but this, in the language of the Magistrate, is a " supposi tions vete,' tven; supposing, llowever, that the prec:se point was nOt bclote ttlir sholl.ld who is paid for studying the Act, and Vviititypearst o comprehend it so easily, refuse to give a little formation to one oho possibly may he 'nought up next Monday for a breach of it ? Mr. HALL re-! ceives 1001. from the public for attending to their interests, and, as the great object of good laws is to prevent offences rather than to punish them, it would have been only an act of justice and mercy to communicate a little of his knowledge to the unsophisticated publican. That, however, is not the character which Police Mseistrates arc anxious to assume. Like executioners, they are on the bench oily to carry the law into effect. What with Ma gistrates, and licensing Justices, anti Legislators, and customers, these unfortunate publicans are in a most unenviable position under present circumstances. If they should venture to interpret the Act according to common sense they are threatened with the loss of their license, or if they obey the dictum of the Magistrate, they are threatened with the loss of their customers ; and this anomalous state of things, affecting some six thousand householders, independent of the vast number that frequent their houses, arises from two Magistrates de ciding that the Legislature has enacted that all pub lic-houses shall be closed at twelve, without specify ing that hour, or making the slightest allusion to it. Is it not reasonable to believe that if such were the meaning of those - who framed the BM, they would liave pointed out the hour for closing as precisely as the hour for open ing ? But they never had any such intention. Their sole object, as appears in all the discussions on the Bill, was to prevent the opening of the houses, as formerly, between six or eight in the morning and the hour of church service. No speaker, as far as we have seen the reports, made the slightest allusion to such an important and invidious change in the law ; a change which would afford but too much reason for com paring our police constables to the tens ar toes of France, break up many respectable Clubs and Societies which can be held only on Saturday nights, and unnecessarily raise a violent outcry from Whigs and Radicals, as well as Tories, against the centralizma, coercing, and club-closing whey of the Whigs. ' 'We will not at present enter n:o the merits of a law in our opinion thus erro icously interpreted. We advert with sorrow to the advertisement con taining the protest of the Corporation of Binning ham against the Police Bill imposed upon that in dustrious, liberal, and influential portion of tl , e manufacturing coulmunity. It was unsought for by the old friends of the Whig Government, but forced on them at the instance of the Home Secre tary, by and with the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the clique of Tories at Birmingham. The Government would not take the advice of Lord BROUGHAM, nor listen to the solicitation of their political supporters in the borough, but prefetred the advice of their hitter enemies, and the hitter enemies also of all truly popular and representative institutions. And what has been the result? A declaration of open war, and a manifesto calling upon all corporate bodies to enlist with them in fighting for the principle of self-government. Sir R. ?EEL plays this sort of game admirably. By following his suggestions Lord JOHN RUS SELL acquired the lasting enmity of the Corpora tion of London. He has now added to that the hostility of Birmingham ; and had he remained longer in the Home Office, these two most influen- tial places in their respective districts would have united in raising an outcry against him from all the Corporations throught the kingdom. This comes from taking the advice of an enemy. His successor has more tact. He acquired the con fidence of the Liberal party in Ireland by setting the Orangemen at defiance ; and though his pre vious conduct warrants the inference that he will follow a similar course here, the example and the results cannot fail to have their due effects. By the arrival of the Iberia steamer at Falmouth on Saturday, we have received Lisbon Papers of the 2d inst. So great was the excitement against England for passing the Slave Trade Suppression Bill, that the Government was obliged to interfere, by directing the Attorney-General to prosecute Journals guilty of publishing libels upon the Bri tish Government. The police were likewise directed to prevent the circulation of libellous hand-bills, and to offer all necessary protection to the persons and property of British subjects. Exchange on London, 56i at long dates ; ex-paper money, 57 per cent. dis. There is no domestic news of any interest in the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The in telligence from Spain and the East is important, and will be found in another part of The Sun. The KING and Royal Family were to arrive at St. Cloud yesterday from the chateau of Eu. The latest Papers from Madrid are of the 31st ult. Every thing was then in readiness for open ing the Cortes on the following day. The Bank of San Fernando had placed at the disposal of the Finance Minister five millions of reals for the use of the army of the north. On the Madrid Bourse the Four per Cents. were done on the 31st ult. at 23k, and 24 for cash. The New Five per Cents. rose from 2.5 i to 262, 26 and 4for cash, and the last time bargain was concluded at 30, a 6 60 days, with Ft premium. The whole capi , al ne gotiated in these securities amounted to 48,000,000 reals. ( From the Papers.) The Debats gives a letter of recent date fr.m Lima, which states that the treaty of commerce entered into by Santa Cruz with the English Consul at Li , na, under t'n, , unfounded expectation that he would by this concession sccure the aid of the British Government in his v;,,r with the Chiliens, had given great dissatisfaction, and it was generally supposed that the coun‘ry would not consent to its being carried into execution. The writer observes that, in the event of the British Government taking any step to enforce this treaty, either against Chili or Peru, the property of British subjects, amount ing, in merchandize and debts, to at least 20,000,000 of piastres (about 100 000,000 francs) would be confiscated, and the amount applied to the purposes of war. As the country is so poor that in the event of a successful issue to England of a contest to enforce the execution of the treaty, no portion of this large amount could ever be ob tained by the English, the writer imagines that the British Government will not resort to a course which would be attended with such immediate injury to its subjects, and at the same time put an end to the trade which England now eekys almost exclusively in that part of South America."
