The Revenue returns for the year and quarter ending the s:h July instant will be found in another part of thin day's impression. They are of a very satisfactory character, realising the most sanguine anticipations that had been entertained, and indicating a steady progressive improvement in the more im portant branches of the ordinary revenue. The country has at length recovered from the injurious consequences of the commercial and monetary cris's of October, 1847. Perhaps an over caution may still be perceptible in some quarters. Perhaps the directors of the Bank of England do not even yet exhibit as much liberality in their dealings as might be desired, but the wonderful elasticity of our resources has been made fully appa rent, and the national balance-sheet affords the most conclusive evidenee of restored prosperity. We were fully prepared for this gratifying result from other returns, namely,those of the Bank of England published weekly, and of the Board of Trade, which are given every month. The former indeed, namely, the amount of notes in active circulation, constitute an index that may safely be relied on, which never by any chance misleads the observer. A circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country is the very life-blood of industry; when sufficient representatives and measures of value can be obtained there is a general activity perceptible on every side, the national capabilities will be fully developed, and those who are able and willing to work; will get con stant employment at remunerative prices, will re ceive " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." These persons, in turn, are able to procure for them selves and families the ordinary comforts to which they are accustomed when trade is flourishing, but of which too many were deprived during the last few years. The revenue, therefore, flourishes, the national expenditure is not only fully provided for, but a handsome surplus remains in the Exche quer to be applied to the further reduction of taxa tion, or such other purposes as may be considered expedient by the representatives of the tax-payers. And these results so ardently to be desired, this " consummation so devoutly to be wished for," are obtained in consequence of a few millions of bank notes being in circulation more than at a tomer period. Experience has shown that " the distress or prosperity of the country depends on the circulation of Bank of England notes above 51., being reduced to 16,000,0001., or advanced to 20,000,0001." During the last year we have had a considerable in crease in that circulation, and hence the improvement in the revenue to which we shall now refer in detail. There is an increase both on the year and quarter, both in the ordinary and extraordinary branches of revenue. For the year the improvement on the " ordinary" branches is 1,164,9041., which is increased by the "extraordinary" to 1,215,8671. On the quarter the improvement en the " ordinary" is no less than 518,104/., which is increased by the "ex traordinary" to 561,5041.—this being the total ame lioration within the last three months as compared with the corresponding three months of last year. The satisfaction wbich we derive from these "great facts" is by no means diminished by a closer consideration of the account. We have not only the " increase," but that increase is made up in the most gratifying manner, and fully confirming the accuracy of the arguments adopted by fiscal reformers, and showing that a reduction of taxation does not necessarily diminish the revenue, but is frequently more than counterbalanced by in creased consumption. _ _ _ Thus, in the Customs, although there is a decrease on the year of 70,5801., there is an improvement on the quarter of no less than 204,932/. The change in the Sugar deities has led to a greater demand for the " corn of the tropics." The great improvement has, of course, been in the article on which the rates had been reduced within the year, but wines, foreign spirits, tee, butter, and other articles of comfort or necessity have participated in the improvement, while there has been a reduced im portation of corn, coffee, tobacco, silk manufactures, &c. The fernier of these may, however, be attribut able to the prospects of a favourable harvest, which has rendered speculators cautious—the second to the general and all but universal adulteration of coffee with chicory, of which s i many just complaints have been preferred. The falling off on " tobacco" may possibly be ascribed to an increase of smuggling, which is festered and encouraged by the enormous rate of duty, about 900 per cent. on the first cost of the article—one successful adventure in which would more than cover the losses on their failures and the confiscation of the smugged goods on each occasion, while the diniunition i❑ silk manufactures is possibly occasioned by the additional employment afforded to our native opera lives, through the increased issue of bank notes, and the consequent increase of our home productions. In the Excise, which may be regarded as the in dex of the prosperity of the labouring population, there is a large increase, both on the year and quarter —on the former of 900,4231, a►nd on the quarter of 304,623/. Tne items on which the improvement has chiefly taken place have been spirits, malt, hops, paper , and soap—all (the first excepted) of the most useful character. The increase on the,quarter in malt alone is 150,0001, and on hops 60,0001. The " poor man's beverage"—beer—is thus shown to be in increased demand. In Stamps there has been an increase on the year of 222,0911, but a falling off on the quarter of 28,9301., which may Le ascribed in part to the Bill now before the House of Commons, which has induced parties to postpone transac tions in which more favourable duties than at present will be levied, when the measure has passed into a law. On Taxes there is an improvement of 12,0301. oa the year, and of 18,3511. on the quarter. There is but little variation i❑ this department, and the improvement may be accounted for by the easiness in money matters, which has pro duced greater punctuality in the liquidation of the charges on each house. In the Property-tax the improvement on an im provement in the incomes ent on the year is no less than 97,7601. This of wo .the 3o swz, i middle classes, professional men, tradesmen, there is any variation, of more than 3,0 which alone'oool. a nnum. There is a small falling off per on the quarter of rter of 6,405/. In the Post - o ffi ce there is a falling the year of 3 2 ,C 00 /., but an increase on the quarter of 14,000/. The former may be accounted for by the additional facilities given for the transmission of cor respondence before the meddling of the Sabbatarians was permitted by the Government. In Crown Lands there is an increase of 30,0001. on the year, the quarter remaining in statu quo. In 111i.cellaneous there is an improvement both on the year aßd quarter ; on the former of .5,1801., on the latter of 11,334/. In the extraordinary branches the only falling off is on China Money, which will never again appear in the national balance-sheet; while in the Imprest and Other Moneys, and Repayments of Ad vances, there is an increase on every point. On the whole we may congratulate the public on the return?, which are the must satisfactory of any that have been published for several years past. An opportunity will be afforded to Honourable Members on Tuesday evening to disclaim any com plicity whatever with the late Parliamentary surprise of the Sabbatarians. Then will be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons the motion of the lion.

Honourable Member for Honiton. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. In the course of the debate on the motion of M. BARRAULT, for endowing Algeria with civil and mu nicipal institutions, and thus emancipating the colony from exclusive military ru!e, it was stated that Algeria cost France from sixty to seventy millions a year without pr o ducing any ret urn , an d requ i r in g , in addition, an army of 70,000 men to guard it. The Assembly rejected the proposition. The attempt to colonise Algeria has completely failed ; the Siecle draws the following picture of the state of affairs in that Dependency. It says : " Colonisation, which had been so generously and so ardently entered upon, is failing more and more every day. Discouragement is seizing hold of the most indus trious families. No less than 257 heads of families have been expelled —a measure which should not have been adopted without solemn inquiry. Horrible punishments have been arbitrary inflicted on labourers accustomed to all the guarantees of civil life. What confidence, what feeling of security can populations have so treated? How can they bring their hearts to their hard ta.k work, when they cannot hope to have free possession of the ground which they bathe with the sweat of their brows ? We do not blame those who are obliged to conduct a military regime, but we do blame the system as essentially vicious." The following is the weekly Bank account : Francs.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a royal decree - granting a new credit of 20,000,000 reals (200,000!.) to the Minister of Marine for the construction of two steamers of 500-horse power each, and for the pur chase of timber for the construction of eight war vessels. The decree is founded on the necessity of augmenting the Spanish navy as demonstrated by the late events in Cuba. General Jon DE LA CONCHA still refused to accept the office of War Minister. The Espana contains some important statements with respect to the questions at issue between the Spanish Government, and those of Naples and the United States. It says that the news of the projected marriage of the Count of MONTEMOLIN with the Princess MARIA. CAROLINA FERNANDA of Naples is fully confirmed, and adds that the Go ♦ernment have entirely approved the first step taken by the Duke of RIVAS i❑ this matter, and " have sent him instructions in conformity with what is de manded by our dignity, the national interests, and the rights of the Crown of Spain." It also says that the Minister of Marine has given orders for the Castilla steamer to proceed from Alicant to Naples, and re main there at the disposition of the Spanish Ambas sador, in case he should find himself under the necessity of asking for his passports and withdrawing himself. With respect to the points at dispute with the American Government, it says :—" Accounts, which we regard as highly correct, state that the reclama tions made by the Government of the United States on our own Government are of a sufficiently exigent character, since they require not only that the pirates made prisoners at Women's Island shall be set at liberty, but also that the two vessels taken from them by our own marine shall be given up." I t further states, in connexion with the Cuban affair, that the Duke of SOTOMAYOR has had several conferences with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, "in order to open negotiations for the purpose of forming between the parties interested a treaty, which may prevent the piracies that might be committed for the future under the shade of the anomalous legislation of the United States on this point. The French Mi nister, knowing the opportuneness of the indications of our Ambassador, and the fruits which so useful a treaty may produce, has received the idea extremely well, agreeing at once that England be invited, in order that they may proceed by common accord i n everything which relates to this important subject." The Balsa was closed on the 30th ult, GERMANY. PEACE WITH DENMARK. Advices frotn Berlin of the 2d announce the con clusion of a definitive treaty of peace between Den mark on the one side and Prussia acting for herself and Germany on the other. The Danish ultimatum has been accepted with some trifling nicsaifications. The general conditions, in so far as relates to Schles wig, are agreed to, and Prussia and Germany are bound to maintain peace and neutrality, supposing that Holstein should remain recalcitrant, and offer ra sistance. It is owing to the firm at.d at the same time conciliatory conduct in which the British Minis!. r has conducted the mediaton that the negoti ations have lead to this successful result The following telegraphic dispatch, announcing a change in the Wirtemburg Ministry has been received by the French Government : "The Wirtemburg Ministry has resign. d.

It is most earnestly to be hoped that the Commons, rendered indignant by the- trick played upon them by the sanctimonious assistants of the Noble Lord the Member for Bath, will con gregate in such numbers as to demonstrate by their attendance, and subsequently by their votes on the division, the disgust with which they have viewed these recent proceedings—especially seeing how much the country has already suffered from the alteration—yet more especially from the un doubted illegality of the change—and most especially because of the indignity there by brought upon the Government and the SOVEREIGN. As to the inconveniences devolving upon the population in consequence of the cessation of all Sunday deliveries, our columns, ever since the 23d ultimo, have been crowded with instances. In refer ence to this the satirical artists of Punch have af forded yet more striking illustrations, showing how the devotion of the worshipper may be interrupted by anxieties in regard to a bill overdue, how the heart of an aged parent may be agonized by fears as to the health of a beloved daughter, bow the swindler may be enabled to escape scot free from the clutches of his victims, and how the artisan may be driven from his home to the alehouse by the lack of his weekly newspaper. All these, and innumerable other evils, arising from the closing of the post-offices and the stoppage of the deliveries on the Sunday ! Regarding the illegality of the order issued by the direction of the Crown, in accordance with the recommendation of the Cabinet, there can no longer be any doubt whatever. The illegality, first hinted at in the House of Peers by Lord BROUGHAM, has been since then seriously inves tigated by the highest legal authorities, and no reason able man can any longer hesitate as to whether or not the change now summarily effected in obedience to the importunity of the Sabbatarians, required, in order to render it valid in operation, the deliberate decision of both Houses, confirmed by the assent of the SOVEREIGN. Finally, respecting the indignity said to have been cast upon the Crown and upon the Government by this precipitate movement of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, it must be sufficiently obvious that such must necessarily he the case when ever the Monarch is hurried by her poli tical advisers to the performance of an act which immediately afterwards proves to have been effected in direct antagonism to the principles of the Constitution. More particularly must this be the case when the Prime Minister avows, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL has actually avowed in regard to this un fortunate business, that the Cabinet has been pro ceeding in its advice to the SOVEREIGN in direct op position to its own convictions. However, these three considerations admit of not one moments argu ment. Common sense and experience prove as clearly as anything can ever be proved that indignity has been cast upon the Crown and upon the Government, that illegality has characterised tbe order recently ap plied to tbe Post-office department, and that inconve nience has been the result in regard to its effects upon the community. All these consequences of the late ill-advised alteration have by this time become noto rious, and to remove them as speedily as possible, by count( rmanding the original order, Mr. LocKE will bring forward on Tuesday his motion for its re scission. Every individual, therefore, who may be solicitous to aid the humane scheme of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Honiton should bear in recollectio❑ that petitions in support if his motion should be forwarded not later that Monday evening. Indifference upon the subject simply upon the score that personal efforts are not required in a matter respecting which the feelings of the House and of the country are all but unanimous, will, to our thinking, be in the highest degree culpable. In testimony of the injus tice accruing to large numbers ef our fellow-subjects by reason of the late contrivance of the Sabbatarians, we would briefly but significantly direct attention to the following circular issued last night by the Post office authorities : " TO ALL POSTMASTERS. " General Post-uffice, sth July, 1850. " To enable the Postmaster-General to decide what reduction shall be made in the wages of letter-carriers and rural post messengers, in consequence of the dimi nution of their labour effected by the new regulations which came into operation on Sunday, the 23d ultimo, I have to desire you will immediately furnish the follow ing information, viz.:— " How many deliveries were made by each letter carrier attacfed to your office, in a week, previously to the 23d ultimo; and how many are made at present? " What are the wages of each letter carrier? " What rural post messengers have been relieved from work on Sunday, within the last twelve months, without any reduction being made in their wages? " What are the wages of such messengers? " The question cf the relief which may have been afforded to clerks will be the subject of a future com munication. " JOHN TULEY, Assistant Secretary." So that it appears these saints have not only brought indignity upon the Crown, disgrace upon the Go vernment, and a multitude of miseries and annoy ances upon the population by their absurd and fanati cal machinations, but they have brought about the reduction of the wages of some cf tho most useful and not the most generously remunerated of the pub lic servants—all to allay the qualms of a few morbid consciences, and to effect the revival in the nineteenth century of an abominable and obsolete superstition I To say nothing of the cruelty of this proceeding in its operation upon the comforts of the letter-carriers throughout the United Kingdom, the whole contri vance, in a merely economical point of view, is most miserably injudicious. To underpay men intrusted with the care of a large amount of property, as these letter-carriers are, is nothing less to our mind than to hold out a bribe to embezzlement. In order to render property so situated secure, its guardians should of course be placed altogether without the reach of temptation. But arguments are idle when addressed to bigotry, and the duty consequently devolves upon the Le g i s l a t ure t o ta k e a matter, affecting so intimately the dearest interests of the community, at once and entirely out of the hands of the Sabbatarians. By a reference to the " Court Circular" it will be observed that these gentlemen are still active in their appeals to the Government through the medium of pious deputations to the Home Secretary. Happily their example has been contagious among their antagonists, and what with counter-petitions and counter-deputations, from the Anti-Sabbatarian majority outside the walls of Par liament, we are sanguine that the Anti•Sabbatarian majcrity inaide the wePaof PU112111;;Zt may Wing.

Sin,—The following is a cep) of a letter I have just dispatched to a Literal Member of Parliament, whe was not present in his place when Lord Ashley and his miscellaneous band c•srried the late Address to the Crown on the subject of the Post-cffice, and which ill coosidered move on their part, as developing itself in practical results, should be designated, " A Scheme for the more Effectual increase of Labour, Toil, and Vexa tion on the Sabbath Day—for causing 'letters, hitherto written on a Saturday, to be penned on the Sunday; and for promoting disaster, losses, heartburnings, and every day of the week." I am, &c., J. J., Barrister-at-Law. Inner Temple, July 5, 1850. (Copy Letter.) My Lord,—May Ibe permitted, as one of your con stituents, who had the pleasure to vote for you at the last general election, to express an earnest hope that your convenience. and inclinations also, will permit you to be present in the House of Commons, on Tuesday next, the 9th current, and then and there to assist in procuring the revocation of one of the most atrocious and ILLEGAL orders, with ri spect to the non-collection and non-delivery e f letters by the Post-office on a Sun day. that the foolhardiness of a Minister ever caused the Crown to issue, contrary to his own convictions of such order's utility, in excess of the Crown's power in the special case; and from both these causes, in deroga tion of its dignity. I am, my Lord, your obedient servant, J. J. THE WATER IN THE SERPENTINE.—At the meet ing of the Botanical Society of London, held at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford -street, Strand, last evening, Mr. J. H. Wilson, F.t .S., in the chair, a paper was read by Dr. Arthur Hassell, " On the Colouration of the Water of the Serpentine." In this communication it was shown that the periodical and coppery green colouration of the water of the Serpentine is due to the presence of a minute plant belonging to the tribe of Algw, of which the writer gave a detailed and critical description, and which he named Thonipsoni. The development of this plant takes place early in the spring, out of sight and at the bottom of the water, and it is only on the approach of the warm weather of summer that it diffuses itself through the water, deeply colouring it, and that part of it rises to the surface, forming a scum or pellick of a bright seruginous or coppery green colour, The whole of the water of the Serpentine is not usually coloured at one time, but different portions of it at, different times, according to the strength and direction of the wind, which drives the plant before it. At one time it is found to collect at the Hyde park extremity ; at another it is present in the Kensington division; sometimes in the north and at others on the south shore—the remaining parts of the Serpentine being entirely free from the plant. This variable distribution, which unex plained would, be apt to occasion surprise, accounts for the tact that the observer may sometimes visit the Serpentine and not see a trace of the plant in question, and hence he might be led to form an erroneous conclusion as to the condi tion of the water. The observer, tilt refore, who wishes to come at its real state should make the tour of the whole of the Serpentine. Considered in a sanitary point of view, Dr. Hassell is of opinion that the plant, when actually intro duced into the system, as when swallowed in bathing, would not be productive of effects injurious to health, and regards it as a test of impurity and as an evidence of the very bad condition in which the water of the Serpentine now undoubt edly is. Dr. Hassell concluded the communication by ob serving that the coloration of large pieces of wafer by means of confervH is by no means unfrequent, and cited as a re markable instance of it in the Red Sea, which (leaves its name and colour, from the presence of a minute plant diffused through the water of a blood red colour. A LARMING EXPLOSION OF FIREWORESe—MIRACIP. LOtre ESCAPE. —Last night (Friday) the neighbourhood of Brunswick-square was thrown into a state of considerable confusion in consequence of a most fearful explosion of fire works taking place on the premises of Mr. Page, a pyro technist and dealer in birds, carrying on business in Cromer street, leading into the above square. The disaster occurred from some unexplained cause in the front shop, in which a large quantity of fireworks and gunpowder was deposited. So sudden was the shock and so fearful the explosion that the whole of the front of the shop was blown into the street, and the goods in the window were sent completely across the road. Several families were at that time in the upper floors, and owing to the dense vapour which ascended and filled the several apartments it was with the greatest dif ficulty that the various persons were enabled to escape ; as it was they were nearly suffocated with sulphur. Owing to the combustible nature of the stock in trade but few minutes elapsed ere the whole of the ground-floor became enveloped in flames. Mr. Page, in his endeavours to subdue the fire, was badly burnt over the bards, and so were two or three of the neighbours who volunteered their assistance. The fire was extinguished, but not before the whale of Mr. Page's stock in trade was destroyed and serious injury done to his furniture, &c. The sufferer, unfortunately, was not insured for a single penny. Mr. MACAULAY.—The Right Hon. T. 13. Macaulay, with his sister, Laiy Trevelyan, and her daughter, remained in Inverness over Thursday last, and proceeded on Friday morning by the steamer to Foit-William. The party t.t tended divine service in the High Church here on hursday forenoon ( it being a fast-day), and in the afternoon drove to the battlefield of Culloden. In this Highland tour Mr. Macaulay has witnessed the scene of some important events that will fall under his review as an historian, namely, the Pass cf Killiecrankie , where Dundee received his death wound ; the field of Culloden ; and the rugged valley of Glencoe, connected with one of the darkest and least defensi ble actions in the reign of William the Third. To one who is no less felicitous in brief sketches of local scenery and manners than in the higher and graver duties of the historian, these personal visits will be as valuable as the out-door studies of the artist. —lnverness Courier. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS OF LONDON AND MIDDLE• SEX.—Andrew Caldecott, Esq., who was on Midsummer day elected, with Alderman Carden, to fill the office of sheriff of London and sheriff of Middlesex, having intimated his in tention of declining to fill the office during the ensuing year, several candidates have already been named to be put in nomination at the next Common Hall, and yesterday morning the Town Hall as well as Guildhall were exten sively placarded with the names of Henry James Coombes, Rich citizen and ironmonger, and George Edmund Hodg kinson, for sheriff. No day has yet been appointed for the election, as no official announcement of the refusal to serve can be made, Mr. Caldecott having fourteen days from the day of election to appear before the Court of Aldermen, who then, on failure of appearance or sufficient excuse, order the fine of 500/. to be recorded, and the Lord Mayor issues his precept for another election. Had Mr. Caldecott refused before being chosen, the fine would only have been 400/. ROYAL PuLI TECHNIC INSTITUTION —llia Excel lency the Nepaulese Ambassador, his brother, and suite, visited this institution yesterday afternoon. The visitors were accompanied over the different departments by Mr. Longbottom,the sezretary, who explained the mode of ex hibiting the Dissolving Views. Their Highnesses were much pleased, and immediately requested to hare a similar appara tus constructed for them. The boat-cloak of Lieutenant Halket, R.N., for preserving life, which was exhibited on the water, also attracted attention. Their Highnesses then visited the chess-rooms in connexion with the Institution, and the ambassador gave a position of the game which will puzzle our best players to unravel.

Sir Moses Montefiore, Bart., in the chair. Mr. Wire read the report of the deputation and sub-committee upon the protection of designs. It stated that the princi pal feature of the proposed measure was the privilege of provisional registration, which it conferred on all parties de sirous of the opportunity of exhibiting publicly their designs or inventions without forfeiture of their copy or patent-right therein. The report was agreed to. A paper containing the particulars of a conference held on the 27th June with tbe Reyal Commissioners was then read. It related to a great variety of matters, amongst which were the appoint ment of juries to award the prizes for objects in each branch of trade, the combination of price as an element in the esti mate of excellence, the price of admission, which was not in any case to be gratuitous, &c. &c. The paper concluded with the announcement that a resolution approving of the site of Hyde-park for the buildings, was signed by a large majority of the delegates pre sen t . A resolution approving of the selection of Hyde-park for the site of the building for the Exhibition was adopted, and the meeting separated.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, of which about 6,000 were taken on speculation. The market elostd firmly.--In Railway Shares a fair business was done at improved quotations. The accounts received from the manufactuting dis tricts relative to this week's operations aro, very stt s factory, whether as regard.: cotton or woollens, but the latter especially; and s+. r. G. F. Maudley i emarks t..f the Bradford trade as follows : _ " The upward tendency of prices noticed in my last re port has been fully developed, and augmented prices have been paid both for the raw staple and finished tabric•. Wool has been moved off freely at an advance of some 15 per cent. on Middle Wethers. Yarns continue to be pro duced to order, sad spinners thus engaged will not accept contracts at a less advance than 4d. to 6d per gross, or say ld. per lb. Indeed spinners of Mohair and Alpaca Yarns are so full of orders that they are unwilling to give quotations. Piece goods of all sorts are taken off as soon as out of the looms, and all the Lett makers are under con tract for some months to come. A farther rise of about a shilling per piece has been establish, d fur ail eh scrip tions. These causes, combined wi.h an advance in th prices of dyeing, strictly enforced by the master dyers, who have entered into a league for the upholding a❑ uniform and higher tariff, render the market a very awkward and unpleasant one for buyers, and fur agents under limits espf eially, and there appears to be at pre sent no prospect of a spi-cdy reaction,—the prebabilitif s being rather in the country direction. This district has now, for some eighteen months past, been in a highly prosperous condit►on; the operatives all fully employed at excellent wages, and their employers realising hand some profits." The weekly account of the Bank cf England locks well again, and better than before in rt spect to the em ploy meat of the asse's of the eitablishment.

THE REGISTRAR OF MIDDLE g;s. r v o t In this case, which involved the question whether was properly registered in the county of Middlese f the provisions of 7 Anne, c. 20, the Court was • c etrni that this being an application against a public oilloor, puting to him neglect in the discharge of his dutie s ' should be discharged with costs.

The s• tp c e e in this case, Mr. W m . H enry :B ar b er, was tr i e d a t the Criminal Court, i n A pr il, 1844 , on four b i lls o f /JO co t oe o r iik• on one of which he wa s conv i c t e d , an d sentenc ed t „it) portation for life. He was actually transported t° c ie Dor Island, and there underwent great hardship, wh ieb ,s4o with great fortitude. On the 12th of November, `oti:4ll, received her Majesty's pardon, on concliti° ° ,. returning to this country. In November, 1848, he y ' to of : granted him a free pardon, and he then came ba e n rr o lid o e country. On the 3lst January, 1849, he made an ~4 . ,,j 1 i0 , rf to this court to have his name restored on the last or '" 141 That application was opposed by the Law Societio', ,l / under the auth or it y o f the 6th and 7th Vict., c• "doAlt Court then dire c t e d a re f erence to the Master, who;doyd report. A rule nisi was then granted for a rene!;:gee t Y Barber's certificate, and that rule was afterwards several days. The first question was on what prn. 0 1 4 1 Court was to proceed in deciding this rule—whetu e ' n 'oe'd quiry was to include only the circumstances with the trial, or whether it was to embrace also Ale' t iOl c ir general conduct. The Court was clearly of opiol ° „ e n cel, argument was not to be limited to the circuMs!q o so 1) 1 nected with the trial, and that it was to look ' e h - dor / 4 matters which had been in this case brought be t of Master. The next question was lvhzt was the eu e- rler t Y pardon by the Crown in this case. In " the Crown," it was laid down that a pardon Crown made a person a new man, and gal- id!" t new capacity, and new credit. Lot:king to the of ties bearing on the point, the Court was c 9 that the pardon had r e li eve d M r. Barber from all ft -' e ct ,0, quences incident to hi s conv i ct i on. To give less that to the pardon of the Crown would be CO the authorities, and would be in truth taking 013 ,,, eb y the question of the propriety of matters which I ",', undoubted prerogative of the Crown, and abridgo„ t " r ibePitii which the Crown had thought fit to confer. B d i g re", that the Court did not feel itself jastifiea ' #0", considering itself bound, however, to examine : ;ted of the case on which Mr. Barber was con'torie, those in th e case i n which he was indicted but to re of The Learned Jud ge (P atteson) then took an ela b o r o tg of the whole c i rcumstances involved in the indi etrnenoo) trial at the Central Criminal Court, in April, 184 4 ; e rbe ing on each as he proceeded, and having done s e ' c olt the Court, l oo ki ng at all the .circumstances of thef, gretted to say they cou ld not b ut see such Pr°e'rit Barber's complicity with Fletcher, as to render be to 4 imperative duty to declin e t o gran t hi m a cer tifial tise as an attorney, and the rule must, therefore , charged.
