GOSSETT. lan 13% 105 31g 63 440 110 ICI% 25 Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Suppose the plea had set forth the warrant was issued according to the ancient usages of Parliament, should we not be bound to consider it legal ? Mr. KELLY apprehended-not, unless the plea set forth that the form had been used at the time of Magna Charta. If it had not, it was contrary to Magna Charta, and, therefore, unless legalised by Act of Parliament, was void. Now, if the warrant were insufficient in itself, he contended that the defendant could not go to the averments of the plea to help it. If a man resisted his arrest under a lawful warrant, and killed the officer, he was guilty of murder—if the warrant were unlawful it would be justifiable homicide. Now, suppose the plaintiff had resisted, and killed the officer, could it be said to him, " True, the warrant is bad upon the face of it, but then there was behind it a resolution of the House of Commons, of which you could know nothing, in asmuch as it was not set forth in the warrant; and, therefore, you must be hanged for murder. But, even suppose reference could be made to the aver ments, he submitted that in these pleas there were no averments which were sufficient to help the warrant. All that was averred was that the warrant was issued by the proper officer of the House to the proper officer of the House, but it left the question of the form of the- warrant com pletely untouched. Now he apperehended that the House of Commons possessed no peculiar privileges of pleading; they must plead like other people, and therefore they ought in express terms to have alleged that, according to the usages of Parliament, it was their privilege to arrest upon such a warrant, and even that would have been insufficient unless it Wai also alleged that such usage had existed at the time of Magna Charta. But, supposing the warrant might be aided by the averment, and that the averments were sufficient, then came the question, had the House of Commons the right to arrest a person to compel him to give evi dence, or to arrest him upon a mere charge, without having previously adjudged him guilty of contempt? He apprehended that no such power existed. They had power to summon a witness, and if he refused to obey that summons, they could adjudge him guilty of contempt for such refusal,' and imprison him for the contempt; and magistrates possessed the :same power; but there was no power to appre hend a party for the purpose of bringing him up in custody to compel him to give evi dence. No doubt all courts had the power of issuing a subpoena to compel the attendance of a wit ness, and on his refusal to come to attach him for contempt, and punish him for his refusal by im prisonment; but they had no more power by law to apprehend persons and bring them up in custody as witnesses than they had when they were brought into Court to compel them to speak by the application of the torture. If a witness were actually in Court and refused to come forward, no doubt the Court had the power of compelling him to come forward, but the Court had no right to send for him into the next parish and arrest him to compel him to give evidence, al though it might adjudge him guilty of comtempt and arrest and attaca him for that contempt, but they could not order him to be arrested and brought up to answer a charge of contempt. The power contended for on the part of the House of Commons was the power of at once arresting and imprisoning any of the Queen's subjects without any cause assigned at all— a power which the Court would be slow in admitting. He denied that the precedents quoted showed the immemorial existence of any such power, and if claimed it ought to have been distinctly averred upon the plea, in order either that issue might be taken upon it in point of fact, or that it might be demurred to in point of law. The precedents in Hatsell would justify the House of Commons in ordering two men to be tied back and back upon a horse, with papers pinned on their breasts, for arresting a servant of a Member. There was nothing, however tyrannical or however ludicrous, that cannot be justified by the precedents to be found in the journals of the House of Commons. With regard to the case of Jay and Topham, it should be remembered that neither Sir Francis Pemberton nor Sir Thomas Jones were judges at the time they delivered the opinions quoted by the So licitor-General at the bar of the House of Commons, and that it was evident they spoke under duress, and were in a most degraded and disgraceful position, so that their dicta could not be taken to possess any legal authority. If the precedents were worth anything, they would justify the arrest by the House of Commons of the Judges of this Court for the solemn judgments delivered in this Court, and for declaring that to he the law which they knew to be the law. The rico-. to arrest to compel a person to give evid , - - here claimed for the first time, and ' — " cc v ` lls ne trusted the Court would not authorise the - power upon light ground assumption . of that neither the Hop- and he submitted that tribunal had " of Commons nor any other am right to arrest or imprison any of ". 1 ,.t0 of this country without cause shown upon the peo the 'race of the warrant authorising such arrest. Their Lordships having consulted together, Lord DENMAN said—We - shall take some time to consider this, and we do not think it right to say anything upon the present occasion.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. GLOBE—The question of Land Allotments to the labouring people has not, we think, been yet fairly considered under all its aspects. We observed re cently that it might be considered as a mode of part payment for labour. It is a circumstance which never should be left out of recollection, that, till lately, the payment of agricultural labour formed a large item in parish rates. No doubt the system was a vicious one; but it arose out of real difficul ties. Those difficulties recur on its abolition ; and the question is what new means can be found for meeting them. The late Lord Winchilsea, in a Re port to the Board of Agriculture in 1816, made the following statements, which appear to us to throw light on the present question, as well as on the past state of things, from which we have not yet escaped in their consequences. His Lordship, speaking of the causes which oppose all attempts to better the labourers' condition, mentions, as one great cause, the dislike which the farmers, in general, have to seeing the labourers rent any land. Perhaps, he continues—. " One of the reasons for their disliking this iF, that the land, if not occupied by the labourers, would fall to their own share ; and another, I am afraid is, that they rather wish to have the labourers more dependent upon them ; for which reasons they are always desirous of hiring the house and land occupied by a labourer, ander pretence that by those means the landlord will be sure of his rent, and that they will keep the house in repair. This the agents of estates are too apt to give into, as they find it much less trouble to meet six than sixty tenants at a rent-day, and by these means avoid the king sometimes obliged to hear the wants and complaints of the poor. All parties therefore join in persuading the landlord, who it is natural to suppose (unless he has time and inclination to investigate the mat ter very closely) will agree to this their plan, from the manner in which it comes recommended to him ; end i* is in this manner that the labourers have been dispossec,„,l of their cow-pastures in various parts of the midland . ,„„„. ties. The moment the farmer obtains his wish 'de takes every particle of the land t o hi mse lf, an d relef,s the house to the labourer, who by these meansis rends "..-cd miserable; the poor-r a t e i ncrease d ; th e value of t' le estate to the r Acierablf) expense, Who landowner diminished ; and th e h o • decay,butthe ia which, jadiorci on m c us e fallen the te- -age suffered to go to „dant will never rebuild, Mr. KELLY (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition) said—ln the case of Lord Shaftesbury, in that of Hobhouse, in that of the Sheriffs of Middlesex, this Court had granted a habeas corpus, and had looked to the warrants of commitment, and because they held those warrants to be legal, and for that cause only, they remitted the parties to their original custody. The law of the judges of the last century was bad law, and all he asked the Court to do was to do what had been done in all the cases to which he had alluded, to look to the warrant, and see whether or not it was a good warrant, and he would dismiss all these cases by saying that in every one of them the warrant of commitment set forth the cause of imprisonment, viz , contempt. He apprehended that there was nothing in this warrant to show that the party was to be taken to the bar of the House of Commons. It was a mere simple mandate for taking him into custody. The fact was the recital was so uncertain that it was impossible for the Court to intro duce anything into the mandatory point. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN alluded to the case of the warrant for the arrest of Sir Francis Burdett, in which the warrant not only stated that he was to be taken to the Tower of London, but to be delivered to the custody of the Lieutenant of the Tower. Mr. KELLY agreed that in that case it was clearly stated where the party was to be taken to, but in this case there was nothing in the warrant to show either why he was apprehended, or where he was to be brought to. It might be to the bar of the House of Commons, or before any one of the Committees. But even if it were aided to the utmost possible extent by the recital, it went no further than to say apprehend the plaintiff and bring him to the bar of the House of Commons, without stating for what. It was a mere simple mandate of arrest without any cause assigned, and was therefore illegal. He agreed with all that had fallen from the judges in the case of Burdett and Abbott, and Stockdale and Han sard, that this Court could not look into the cause of imprisonment where it was for contempt, and if this warrant had stated that the imprisonment was for contempt, he should not have disputed its validity. What was sought for under this warrant was not to preserve to the House of Commons what it was ad mitted they possessed, the power of committing for a breach of their privileges, but the power of making that law which was not law, and to arrest under an illegal warrant, a warrant which was contrary to Magna Charta. ever travels through the midland counties, and will take the trouble of inquiring, will generally receive for an swer, that formerly there were a great many cottagers who kept cows, but that the land is now thrown to the farmers ; and if he inquires still farther, he will find that in those parishes the poor-rates have increased in an amazing degree, more than according to the average rise throughout England." These statements, which seem to us to bear strongly on the present position of this question, bring the withdrawal of land from the peasantry in close con nexion with the rise of poor-rates. The same logic of facts would seem to shew that the withdrawal of money from the parish should be followed by the re storation of the previous " land privileges." It may be true that the peasant's character has been altered as well as his condition ; and that the peasant who kept a cow may now be imagined, in many districts, almost as fabulous in his attributes as one of the Littlemore English Saints. Nevertheless, the possibility of cow keeping is not, it appears, extinct; for Mr. Grey and the Rev. W. S. Gilly assure us that it still subsists in the North of England ; and that not only cows are kept on the cottage allotments, but that the cot tage tenants keep themselves off the parish. However, we do not present the north of our island as a la bourers' Utopia ; nor do we assert that the " binding system" would be all-sufficient to restore " a bold pea santry." We believe that, in the southern districts, a peasantry of a very different character has grown up in many places under the old Poor-law, and is pinched under the new. The provident virtues were rendered useless and objectless ; and the improvident vices show their fruits. The system of allowance in aid of wages was introduced to palliate the effects of a real revolution in the state of the cultivators of the soil, produced by war-prices, changed habits, and agricultural speculations. The palliative was a quack-medicine, doubtless ; it was not the pure milk from one's own cow ; parish provision for families was a sorry substitute for indivi dual prudence in entering on marriage ; and parish pay had no principle of growth in it for the resources of its recipients—though it had for their numbers. Still, while agricultural speculation was ascendant, and the tide of prices rising, the system could go on. But when the tide had turned, and the old parish practices were abandoned, it became imperative to seek some substitute. The land, and property on it, still remain, in the last resort, chargeable with indi ge n c e. tis clear that it must either make an effort to throw off the population supposed redundant, or an effort to enable that po pulation to keep itself above indigence. The throwing off method has been most in favour—emigration the most " familiar word." But emigration is exceed ingly costly ; notwithstanding certain quack pro mises to the contrary. Emigration is exceedingly inadequate to transplant any great " surplus" from the soil. Can the supposed " surplus" be put in the way of keeping itself where it is ? ,One reply to this question is extension of freedom to buy food with labour. This was long withheld, and is now only imperfectly conceded,—for the sake of those agricultural speculations which have revolutionised the state of the peasantry. But it has appeared of late that agricultural speculation can neither support its own pauperism in idleness, nor set it all at work on sufficient wages. Yet, somehow or other, sup port must be furnished. Commerce is one aid ; are not allotments another ? Agricultural capital, it is said, is insufficient to carry on the extent of cultivation it undertakes to the high pitch to which it might, and ought to be carried. Well, but one grand portion of agricultural capital are the labourers' hands and arms. There is a sort of absurdity in those lying idle because agricultural capital cannot use them. They are themselves capital. The only indispensable pre-requisite to the operations of this capital is the supply of food to the labourers in whose hands and arms it consists. But that is im perative by law already. To say that men, who must be fed, cannot work to a profit, is to talk idly. They can, at all events, work to a diminution of loss. But is it true that these manual capitalists, supplied with a field to work on, cannot work profitably? The farming speculators, by their own account, cannot cultivate the land as it ought to be cultivated. So far as that is true, so far they are not its natural and proper holders. The land has been viewed too ex clusively aa an object of moneyed speculation and monopoly. It is, however, something else than this, and something more. It is a grand national instru ment of production—an instrument pledged by posi tive law to the national support. That any given class of capitalists cannot operate to suit their account, is only a fresh proof of the necessity of calling in aid those who can. It is a gross absurdity to assert, in one breath, that the land would take much higher cultivation, and to assert, in the next, that the bes• u-e of national capital would be to make advances out of it for the expatriation en masse of the culti vators ! STANDARD.—We are conscious of no rancorous feeling to the Cabinet of 1835. On the other hand, having done our part, however inconsiderable that may have been, in depriving them of the opportunity to pursue their evil course, and having witnessed their ignominious expulsion from office, we could willingly forget that England had ever been disgraced by such a Government—assured, as we are, that a repetition of the stain must remain for ever im possible. The indulgence of this forgetfulness is net, however permitted to us. As always happens, the malice of bad men proves too strong for the restraints of prudence ; and we are reluctantly compelled by the demands of justice—of justice to ourselves as well as of justice to others—to recur to what posterity will consider the most odious of the crimes of the late Administration—the construction of the Court placed round the innocent and unsuspecting Queen, at her accession to the throne, at the age of eighteen years! This is a topic upon which the bitterest enemies of the Melbourne Ministry might expatiate with pleasure; but it is one which we see revived by the retainers of that Ministry with an astonish ment • qualified only by a recollection of the rage and heedlessness of malice. The writer, - whose rash has forced us back upon the hateful topic, charges the Standard with having taken part in the denunciation of the Melbourne-formed Court The charge, like every other charge ever brought against this journal by the same writer, is false. We took no part in the denun ciation, cordially as our feelings sympathised with it ; on the other hand, we exerted ourselves earnestly to restrain the public indignation, because though we knew and felt it to be just, we remembered that there are classes of crimes, to name which in the presence of a young and inex perienced woman is an offence ; and because we had full confidence that the native good sense and ad mirable education of the young Queen would carry her, even in a corrupt Court, through the danger of misconstruction the only danger tc which her pure and lofty nature could permit her to be exposed. As we foresaw, so lass it proved ; the Queen has pa sse d inapp through the iy 1 danger spread ro of those her. But is the gu il t tue" ....0 spread the snares lessened by th e vir of her for whose feet they were set ? Are we the less bound to honour the men who, though un necessarily, and at the risk of offence, raised the warning voice for her protection, because the beloved object of \their care has proved herself worthy of such ready and absolute devution. The time has arrived when we can, without scruple, render justice to these truly loyal and devoted subjects of the Queen. The exemplary and honoured wife, the happy mother, can now look back not only with complacency, but with pride, upon the dangers of mis construction to which her treacherous servants ex posed her Inexperienced youth ; of pride not only in her own faultless course, but of pride also in the noble people who reposed upon her prudence an unbounded confidence, while they abhorred those who had exposed it to a trial, terrible to any young woman of eighteen—most terrible to a youth ful Queen. The matron Queen can now appreciate her true friends—can distinguish between those who placed about her parson individuals unfit for female society, and those who even rashly raised their voices against the profanation. None need regret exposure to perils through which they have gloriously passed ; and none, with a heart like our Queen's, will be un grateful to the friends who watched her progress through these perils with even an excessive anxiety. WooL.—.The market is still in a quiet state for all descriptions of wool, and those parties.that are inclined to realise are compelled to submit to rather lower rates: the arrivals last week were 1,828 bales, 506 of which consisted of Spanish, and 491 bales of African. FOREIGN.—To-day many inquiries existed for Foreign Sugar, but the offers made were such that merchants would not accept. There are large purchasers, at prices rather above those that prevailed prior to the intelligence from the Havannah. The Dutch Company's public sale of 50,000 baskets of Sugar, equal to 12,000 tons, went off with spirit at 11 florin advance, equal to is to is 6d per cwt. At Hamburgh an advance has taken place of is to 2s per cwt for Foreign Sugar. MOLASSES.—There has been a much better demand for West India ; the transactions have been upon a large scale at full, but not at higher rates—Antigua at 24s to 24s 6d, St. Kitts 21s 6d to 225, and Montserrat 20s 6d per cwt ; at auction St. Vincents went at 21s. In East India Molasses there has been rather more business transacted, but prices remain low. Jamaica Honey, 16 cannisters at public sale fetched 69s to 70s per cwt. Of St. Kitts Tamarinds 13 barrels were taken in at the moderate rate of 30s per cwt. Of China Preserves 210 boxes at public sale were partly sold, but at low rates—Ginger selling at is to is 3d per lb— Oranges is 3d—Citron is, but Chow Chow was all with drawn. COFFEE.—AII descriptions of West India have been in excellent request by the home trade, and the parcels offered all found purchasers ; the rates paid show an ad vance on those previously quoted of Is to 3s per cwt. This afternoon the demand was brisker for Mocha Coffee, and 123 bales at public sale were all sold at full market rates, middling greenish clean garbled fetched 68s 6d to 69s 6d, pea berry mixed 75s to 80s, triage 48s 6d to 525, and inferior 32s 6d; of Singapore 170 bags were offered, end went as follows —sea damaged at 37s Gd to 44s 6d, infe rior 19s to 28s 6d, fine sound yellow pea berry 52s to 52s 6d, and country damaged 365. Ceylon was taken sparingly by private contract, and 53s 6d to 54s per cwt is the value of good ord; none was offered at auction. TEA.—There has been a fair demand for Congou since our last report, and prices have ruled firm ; com mon at 100 to 100, good common 104 d to 11d, but middling rather coarse I lid to lid, rather blackish and blackish leaf is to is 4d, strong blackish leaf and Pekoe kind is 5(1 to 2s 4d, and very fine 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb ; the supply is small of commons and there is still a scarcity of fine Congou. Pouchong is still wanted, and several parcels have been sold at firm rates—clean fetching 51d to 10d, and superior 10id to Is 2d; the stock is still diminishing, and this is still the cheapest description of Tea. Of Souchong some parcels have been sold on former terms. Twankay large parcels of yellow leaf sold at is lid to is 2id per lb; the supply is scanty of brightish leaf and Hyson kinds, which are much wanted, and fully maintain late rates. To-day there was a brisk demand for Young Hyson, and several parcels were disposed of at 2s to 2s 6d. Scented Orange Pekoe was much sought after, and sales for cash made at 3s 3111 to 3s 4d per lb. In other sorts of Tea there was not much doing in consequence of the public sales advertised. SPICES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper met with attention, and 513 bags at public sale were sold at steady rates—shot fetched 31d, half heavy 31c1 to 31d, and good light 3id. 20 bags of wild Nutmegs went at is 6d to is 8d per lb. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—HoIders of Jamaica Rum have shown less firmness, and accepted prices rather under those previously quoted for all descrip tions, fine and high flavoured sorts excepted ; there are few shipping orders, and the home trade have purchased with caution. Prices rule as follows :- 30 to 32 per cent over proof 3s 8d to 3s 10d, 33 to 35 over good 4s to 4s 4d, and fine and superior 4s 6d to 5s 6d per gallon ; rather under these rates there are, however, several purchasers. Leewards are more in request, and prices remain firm, the supply being small ; a good demand has existed, and 2s 4d to 2s 5d per gallon . proof strength paid for some par cels. Demerara is not to be purchased on lower terms, but at present there are not many buyers; 32 per cent overproof is held for 3s 3d to 3s 4d, and 33 to 39 per cent overproof for 3s 6d to 3s 7d per gallon: the supply is but a moderate one. Prices are going down for Calcutta Rum, and the market has been in a flat state; 2s 2d to 2s 2id per gallon accepted for proof with certificate. In Brandy there has been little doing, with out alteration in price. RICE.--Holders of E. I. manifest firmness, and none of any kind has been submitted to public competition. Of Bengal several parcels have been disposed of by private contract ; middling white at l ls, good middling to good 11s 6d to 12s per cwt. Madras at 8s 6d to 9s per cwt. for yellow. Java at 9s to 9s 6d for yellow, and at 108 to lls 6d per cwt. for white. Cleaned Rice has secured a good sale. Patna at . 13s 6d to 18s, and Carolina 23s to 27s per cwt.

A few half chests Prunes were taken in at 38s. 13,127 drums new Turkey pulled Figs were also put up, but being much out of condition were mostly taken in from 48s to 655, but a great portion were taken by the trade after the sale. 1,600 drums Sultanas were withdrawn at 63s to 655, a few since sold at the latter price. 20 barrels new black Smyrna Raisins were taken in at 40s, and 35 barrels of old sold at 325.

English Refined has been taken sparingly at 29s to 29s 6d per cwt. INDIGO.— The business transact e d in East India has been limited, and at a reduction on the rates of the last Quatterly sale of 2d to 3d per lb, there are few pur chasers for home consumption or shipping ; at present not many parcels are offering for sale, if prices should come down a little lower it will b e the cause of specu lators making investments. OILS.—The home trade have purchased all descrip tions of common Fish Oil with caution since Tuesday last, and for exportation very little business has been transacted, in the value however little variation has takn place.

Yesterday, Mr. Buckingham, of 20, South-row, New-road, St. Pancras, applied to Mr. PayntQr, the sitting magistrate at the Wandsworth Police-court, for his advice and assistance under the following cir cumstances : Mr. Buckingham stated that he was the inventor of a new destructive projectile, called the " Victoria" shell, for blowing up towns and mines. On Wed nesday afternoon last he was making experiments on Wimbledon-common, in the presence of Dr. Ryan and other scientific gentlemen appointed by the Go vernment, and in the course of those experiments he subjected to trial two new shells, which were dis charged into a bank, but did not explode within the given time (three quarters of an hour). Two hours afterwards he began digging for those shells which had not exploded to prevent accidents, as they were of a very destructive tendency. In a short time he dug up either twelve or thirteen, none of these,had exploded, indeed the principle of invention with re spect to all hut two which were to have burst within the hour was, that they should remain in the ground twenty-four hours before such an event took place, nine of the shells were washed and placed in a bag, the remainder were lying loose on the ground, when a man named Taylor, who had formerly been in the Grenadier Guards, and who had been waiting upon Dr. Ryan, took up one of the loose balls which had some gravel adhering to it, and while in the act of washing it, the shell exploded, mutilating him in a shocking manner. The accident had such an effect upon applicant that for two days he was confined to his bed with the brain fever. He was unable before he left the ground to remove the balls to a place of security, but left the men to keep watch and prevent any persons approaching the spot. On Saturday morning he again visited Wimbledon common, and found that all the loaded balls had been carried offin spite of the vigilance of the men left to watch them. Applicant becoming alarmed for the safety of the public generally, and it being most pro bable they might have got into the possession of per sons ignorant of their destructiveness, he immediately communicated with Inspector Busain, of the V divi sion, and through the vigilance of that officer he had discovered six of the .loaded shells, but he was unfor tunately still ignorant as to where the remainder were secreted. His principal motive in coming forward and making this statement was, that it might obtain publicity through the powerful means of the press, and thus be the means of cautioning any persons who might retain possession of them, as their danger ous tendency now lay in moving them about after being fired from the cannon. Inspector Busain informed the magistrate that be ing applied to by Mr. Buckingham, and hearing the danger that might result to the public, he exerted himself to discover who were the possessors of the missing balls. After some time he ascertained that a gardener in the service of a physician at Roehamp ton had been seen throwing some of the balls about in the tap-room of a beer shop in that village, and one of the balls was in the act of being put upon the fire, when the landlord, who is an old artillery-man, came in, and guessing what it was, got possession of it, and, together with others, buried them in the ground for safety. He subsequently discovered that a youth named Marlow had had another in his pos session, but afterwards threw it into a pond. He had informed the constables of that section of the circum stance, and they would snake every inquiry after the missing balls. Mr. PAYNTER said it was by a remarkable inter vention of Providence that a frightful catastrophe had been averted, and he hoped in future more care would be taken to prevent the public getting such dreadful missiles into their possession. As the police had succeeded in discovering some of these missiles, he would direct them to redouble their efforts to trace out the remainder; for, until they were found, it was impossible to state what dreadful calamities might not ensue. Mr. Buckingham thanked the magistrate for his attention, and withdrew. THE LORD MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS OF THE CITY OF LONDON UNION. Yesterday upwards of fifty members, accompanied by Mr. Watkins, the vice-chairman, and the clerk, waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, and presented his Lordship with the following ad dress : " The Guardians of the poor of the City of London Union take the earliest opportunity of offering to your Lordship their most sincere and cordial congratulations upon your Lordship's elevation to the distinguished and honourable position of Lord Mayor of the City of London. " The Guardians have reason to acknowledge, with pride and satisfaction, the indefatigable zeal and ability evinced by your Lordship as their chairman during a pe riod of nearly eight years ; and the experience they have thus gained of your Lordship's character and talents, give them the highest confidence that the same ability and proficiency will be exercised for the benefit of their fellow-citizens at large, in the wider sphere of usefulness which your Lordship is now called upon to occupy. " The Guardians have no less confidence that those kind and humane feelings for the interests of the poor which have ever characterised your Lordship, as their chairman, will be continued and extended to the fullest degree in the exercise of your Lordship's authority as Chief Magistrate of this great City. And while they look for the most patient and benevolent attentions to the claims of poverty and misfortune, they have an equal assurance that, under your Lordship's firm administra tion of the law, idleness and vico will receive the dis couragement they deserve. " In conclusion, the Guardians assure your Lordship of their unabated esteem and confidence, and beg to express their earnest hope that the blessing of Divine Providence may attend your Lordship through the ar duous and important duties of the coming year, and pre serve for many years a life of usefulness and benevo lence. " THOMAS WALKER, Presiding Chairman. " John Thomas Rowsell, Clerk to the Board." The Lord Mayor returned the following answer : " Gentlemen,—My election to the Chief Magistracy, after a year of severe persecution, prompted by those whose education and calling should have taught them better things, has been a source of congratulation from various friends who are kind enough to entertain a fa vourable opinion of my motives and proceedings. " I can truly declare that this pleasing testimony of your good opinion as my brother Guardians of the City of London Union, is doubly grateful under present cir cumstances, and a powerful incentive to exertion in the cause of humanity, as well as in the faithful administra tiGn of my duty. " You are so obliging as to approve of my humble ef forts as your Chairman during the existence of our Union. I feel I shall not be able for some time to give so uniform an attendance at the Board as formerly, but I have the satisfaction in knowing that my lack of service will be amply made up by the zeal and talent of my re spected friend, your excellent vice-chairman. " I beg to assure you that I shall dedicate my best energies to alleviate the sufferings of the deserving poor, but I shall strictly enforce the laws, so wisely enacted for *the suppression of professed mendicants. " For your good wishes, so cordially expressed, for the preservation of my health; and that I may be enabled to fill the important duties 'to which I am now called, I heartily return you my best acknowledgments, and most sincerely do I wish that you and myself may have a year of happy success in our endeavours to dis charge with efficiency our respective trusts and obli gations."

SIR HENRY POTTINGER.—It gives us great plea sure to state that upon the occasion of Sir Henry's visit to this town, he will be presented with a massive piece or ser vice of plate by the great body of our wealthy fellow-towns men, who arc interested in the opening of the China trade. The East India and China Association of Liverpool not only originated the idea of entertaining him at the public banquet, but were also the first to give the initiative for the piece of plate, the subscriptions to which, however, will not be confined to the members of that association, but will be thankfully received from all who are deriving benefits from the altered state of relationship with the celestial empire. Already several firms have put down their names for 504 each ; and at 'Change hour yester day afternoon the munificent sum of 8501. had been sub scribed. There can be no doubt that the subscriptions will eventually amount to between 1,0001. and 1,500/, am- Ply sufficient for the purchase of a piece or a service of plate—and it will be left to %ix henry to make his choice of either—worthy of the man, the town, and the occa sion.--Liverpool Journal of Saturday.

Great excitement was occasoned in the Tiller of Hawnes, near Bedford, on Sunday morning, in C O sequence of a respectably dressed 1b.7 1 being f°11 ; hanging in a hedge quite dead. The foli!owing prone an inquest was held before Ezra Eagles, Esq. for the county, and the following evidence 1111. given : Josiah King, a labourer, deposed that on 5a,13011 morning he was going up Mr. Armstrong's fie l r„ o .. the parish of llawnes, and in the hedge; about a ' - to dred yards from the road leading from Wasted he Clophill, he saw something hanging, which at ful t ., h : thought was a mawkin to frighten the birds was but on going nearer he found it was a man. g e l' tied by the neck to an ash bough with a h a ndlierc'',„"; and appeared to have been hanging there for o _„,'" time. He then told some other persons and the e' r „ stable, and they removed the body to King's,„ T be e- 0 shop.. It was in a high state of putrefaction.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 19.) . SUGAR.—To-day the market for West India Sugar presented a firm appearance ; the demand was very good for all sorts for the scale and pan, the advanced rates pre viously established were fully supported ; indeed for Segars worth from 56s to 631 per cwt an advance in some cases of 6d per cwt was obtained; the show has become small and very indifferent. The purchases reached 660 hhds, including a public sale of 100 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar, which went off with spirit at very full rates—fine yellow at 668, good 63s 6d to 645, good mid 60s to 61s, mid 58s to 593 6d, and low 558 6d to 57s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with ready purchasers for home consumption, and a further advance in prices took place, brown lumps fetching 72s 6d to 735, and standard lumps 74s to 748 6d. Bonded crushed Sugar is with difficulty to be purchased at 29s 6d. In 101 b loaves, there has been an immense business trans acted at 31s 6d to 32s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, but 8,000 bags of the new crop are declared for Fri day, and which it is expected will go off well, as the trade are much in want of Mauritius Sugar. EenT INDIa.--This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sug:Ar, amounting to 5,427 bags, were offered at public ',ale, 762 bags of which consisted of strong yellow Dobab, and sold at former rates—fine at 68s, good 65s to 66s 6d, mid 59s to 61 6d, damp and washed 59s 6d to 66s ; other sorts fetched full prices, indeed in some cases, they were rather higher for inferior and mid qualities—good brown went at 525, mid 445, damp and washed 42s to 51s, low ditto 40s 6d to 41a 6d, low sound yellow 53s 6d, mid 56s 6d to 57s 6d, good mid 58s 6d to 59s 6d, good 60s to 60s 6d, damp and washed 50s 6d to 60s per cwt. Of Madras 155 bags were sold at 419 for very low heavy dark brown, being the full value. WAR- OF FICE, Nov. 19. 6th Regiment of Foot—Lieut. G.

An inquiry took place at Navestock, last week, before Mr. Lewis, the coroner, and a respectable jury, touching the death of Martha Phillips, the wife of a labourer, who was found dead in a field in that parish. It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that the deceased was found lying on her back in one of Mr. Hicks's fields ; an umbrella and can of beer were by her side, and her clothes were in disorder, and her pocket turned inside out. On her being removed some blood came from the right ear. There were appear ances about the ground as if there had been some struggling. Rebecca Phillips, a daughter of the deceased, stated that she was in good bealth and spirits the day be fore. She went out with a can for some beer for dinner at about half-past twelve o'clock. There had been no quarrelling. Her health was not generally good ; she complained usually of pain across the chest. Sach's beer-house, to which she went, was about a mile from the house of deceased. William Millbank, a gardener, who was sitting at the beer-shop when the deceased arrived, stated that she called for half a pint of beer and drank it ; and that when that was done, she called for another. Two men, named Baker and Young, were there and had beer also. She 'went away about a quarter before two o'clock, and took three pints of beer away with her in a can. She asked Young if he was going home to dinner ; he lived under the same roof in the family of deceased. Before she had got out of the yard Baker and Young followed. They were a little fresh but not drunk. Another witness stated that subsequently to this he saw the deceased and Young walking together under an umbrella, and Baker walked on before. It was stated that deceased frequently got drunk, and would then fight. Baker deposed to having seen Young and the deceased go together into the field in which she was found, and lie down on the ground. When he came out of the field he had a snuff-box, which he said she had given him. But he put a stone into it, and threw it away, and several times told him not to say anything about what he had witnessed. Young, who was in custody, stated in his defence, that as they were going along the road, the deceased made a proposition to him, and asked him if he would give her any money. He told her no; she then got over the gate, and he turned back. The CORONER having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Young, and he was forthwith committed to take his trial.— Abridged from the Essex Herald of this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) QUEEN-SQUARE. On Tuesday Mr. Taylor, the second clerk, wrote to the chief constable at Hull to inquire into the truth of the statement made by Miss Hayes, whose case has excited so much sympathy, and yesterday re ceived the following reply : " Town Hall, Hull, Nov. 16. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, referring me to a report in the newspapers respecting the case of distress of Miss Georgiana Hayes, and requesting me to inform you something of her history. " In reply, I beg to acquaint you that I was inti mate with the late Mr. Picard and the family of Miss Hayes, and that the whole of her statement 83 re ported and detailed in your letter is perfectly correct. "I have inclosed you a Post-office order for 205., handed to me by John Bark vvorth, Esq., one of the magistrates of this place, after having read the state ment in the. Times.—Your obedient servant, A. M,MANUS." The following note, addressed to Mr. Burrell, was also yesterday received :-- " Miss Hayes, whose case has called forth so much deserved sympathy from the public, is, ere this, I have no doubt, better provided for, but the poor wo man, Carr, who took her starving from the streets, to share her scanty meal, and when she could no longer supply Miss Hayes with food, made known to you and the public her distressing situation, what sym pathy or relief has been afforded to her ? If she has not been brought up in the lap of luxury, she has been broUght up in disposition which would do credit to those who have been better educated. Will you be kind enough to forward to Mrs. Carr the enclosed sovereign from one who much admires her kind heartedness and generosity to her former mistress... " J. A. S." In the course of the day two sovereigns were re ceived from J. H. and a trifling sum from D. D. for Miss Hayes, and 2/. for Mrs. Carr, whose conduct the writer much admixed. %O 0 0 40 0 0 50 0 0 5 9 0 IL 0 0 5 0 0 5 0 0 95 0 0 5 O 0 2 le o 10 0 0 5 0 0 250 0 0 All paid 2 0 0 3 0 0 38 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 ( 50 0 0 10 0 • 5 13 0 10 0 0 2 0 0 12 10 0 12 10 0 2 10 0 2 0 0 5 0 o 1 o o IO 0 10 0 0 5 0 0 6 5 0 0 0 0 40 0 0 40 0 20 0 25 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 10 0 0 7 10 0 25 0 0 10 0 0 17 10 0 95 0 0 10 0 0 10 0 0 25 0 0 10 0 0 16 0 0 18 0 0 19 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 75 0 0 31 5 0 18 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 90 0 0 ID 0 0 00 0 0 25 0 0 48 0 0 10 0 0 25 0 0
