William Eusdon, aged 25, a respectable.looking man, 'gas indicted for maliciously setting fire to several stacks of corn and farming premises of Mr. Elliott Smith, at Girton, on Thursday the Bth day of January last. Mr. Palmer appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Nay lor defended the prisoner. The evidence consisted principally of the testimony of a man who, according to his own statement, had been at least a participator in, if not the originator cf the crime, and who was contradicted by a third party, was consi dered by the jury insufficient to justify a conviction, and they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) Samuel Sheere and John Gordon were indicted for ma liciously setting fire to a house, some persons being therin, with intent to defraud the the West of England Insurance Company. Mr. Kerslake was counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Collier and Mr. Challoner Smith chfcnded the prisoners. The evidence produced for the prosecution showed that the house in question was one of several houses in a row at Dolton, near Torrington. It'vvas occupied by a person of the name of Lyne ; the wife of Lyne had sat up after her husband, who bad gone to bed early on the eveniug of the 20th of February. The wife was going to bed about twelve o'clock at night ; she smelt fire, and upon an examination she saw fire under the thatched roof. She gave an alarm, and the neighbours put the fire out. Next doer but one was a house, occupied by a person named Bissett, and-under the thatch of that house a quantity of barley straw was found. This made it pretty evident that it had been the act of an incendiary. Then came the question as to who had committed the set, and with the view of ascertaining this the shoe-marks around and near the houses were traced a considerable diStance, nearly three miles, and the trackers, from some other suspicion, Kent to the house of Sheere early the next morning. They found him in bed, his shoes were wet and drying at the fire. 'they also found his clothes wet and dirty. His shoes were taken, and they corresponded with the shoemarks found near the houses. The shoes of the other prisoner also corresponded with some of these marks. It was also shown that both the prisoners had gone out from their homes about 11 o'clock that night, and did not return till one in the morning. When the prisoners were apprehended, they accounted for their absence from their homes by stating that they had been out poaching. The shoemarks were further traced to a barley-mow; and it was discovered that some of the barley-straw had been drawn out of the rick, and that corresponded with the burnt barley-straw found under the thatch of Bis sett's house. Sl'eere had some kind of interest in this house, and had insured it for 1001., but it ins shown that, had the home been burnt down, In would have been a loser.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 22. The Judges finished their labours at York yesterday. Mr. Baron Rolfe left York early to open the commission at Liverpool. Mr. Baron Alderson having disposed of two causes which remained, lett York by the twelve o'clock train, and arrived in Liverpool last night. Their Lordships having attended divine service this morning at St. George's Chapel, Mr. Baron Alderson sat fur the trial of prisoners in the Crown Court: The calendar is nut considered heavy for this division Lf the county. There are in it 48 cases, and the names of 74 prisoners. Of those six are charged with man slaughter, five with stabbing, one with assault with in • tent to rob, fourteen with robbery, five with felony, eighte?n with burglary, three with bigamy, six with stealing from a dwelling - house , one with rape, four with coining and passing base coin , seven with forgery, two with embezzlement, and two with concealment of birth. The two Johnsons, charged with embezzling money, the property of the trustees of t he St. Helen's Savings Bank, will be tried at these assizes. Several charges of coining and uttering base coin were tried ; Mr. Knowles, Q.C., as Attorney-General for the County Palatine, and Mr. Cobbett, prosecuting. In the civil court several undefended actions and cases of no interest -were ilispoked of; _and .at .the o'clock Mr. Baron Rolfe tried some prisoners, the coun sel in the COMM in order not being prepared. The cause list, so far as is known, is not heavy. It is said to contain an entry of 108 causes. The list is not, however, yet punted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. BAIL IN THE CHARGE OF FRAUD ON THE DUKE OF %V ELLINGTON.—Two persons offered themselves as bail for the man and woman Stanley, remanded on a charge of having obtained money fraudulently from his Grace the Duke of Wellington. A clerk from the office of Mr. Humphries attended to examine the parties. The prisoners had also a solicitor. The first bail was George Henry Webster, of Evans street, Soho. His property consisted cf - furniture and stock, and was of more value than 1001. On cross-examination he said he did not know either of the prisoners. He had been applied to by a Mr. Smith, who kept a coffee -bop in Marylebone-street, to become bail. He had not received any guarantee, nor was he to have any remuneration. Was not'aware that Smith, with a woman named De Souza, was indicted for keeping a bad house. The second bail was George Smitb, of 14, Jermyn street, who said bis property consisted of the furniture in the house. On cross-examination he admitted be did not know either of the prisoners; but, at the request of Smith had agreed to become bail. Was to receive no recompense of any kind, and only acted from a friendly feeling. He did not expect to be at any loss if the prisoner (the woman) should not be forthcoming, but he did not know where payment in that case was to come from. The prisoner's solicitor contended that these questions were irregular. It was only necessary for him to prove the sufficiency of the bail. . on T e he th lk in l g AT a T s ß A ce T r E ta t i lug n io .l h the The questions epaitk swho q_u n i i t o e w proper. came forward were hired bail. These persons propohed to take upon themselves the responsibility of paying 501. each out of their property in case the party for whom they wished to become bail should not be forthcoming Under all circumstance - a he must have further irq u iry:into the character of the bail, and woule, therefore, adjourn the matter until Saturday. _ inc wporating the Commercial Gas Company, for a via lati mof which he had subjected himself to peralties amounting to nearly 1601. Mr. Baikutine, with Mr. Thomas, solicitor, appeared for the gas company; and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Syd • ney, foithe defendant. Th? case excited intense interest, and when the hour. of homing (two o'clock) earn?, a rush wss made for ad mittance through all the avenues of the court, as it was expected that some curious revelations would take place. Mr. BaHenan° said the charge against the thfendant was that he had illegally connected a pipe with the pipes belonging to the company, and had used it on seventy :4x occasionQ, For this •offerice'the 18th section of the company's Act imposed a penalty, of 5/.. fur so.connect ing the pipe, and 40s. for (very occasion on which it w: 4s used. The object in tampering with tie pipes was t, convey the gas into the defendant's premisrs 'without its passing through the meter, end thus avoiding an index to the quantity consumed. . ,Mr. Clarkson bhving consulted with Mr. Sydney,.and conferred with Mr.-Ballantine, said that though he had au answer as to the extent to which the gas had been used, yet as he could not deny the charge relating to the pipe, he thought, under the circumstances,' the best thing his client could do would be to make the company all the reparation in his power. 'As far as his client's means would_ go he was ready to make full compensation, and he therefore tendered a sum of 504 by aeceptanco of which on the part of the company their Act would be vindicated, and his client much obliged. Mi. Ballantine considered that his Learned Friend had acted judiciously in adopting that course. The objeA of the cowpony was to show that proceedings would be adopted, and heavy penalties would be conse quent on a violation of the Act; but when contrition was thus publicly expressed and cethipensstion offered, they felt that it would appear iiticlietiie to attempt to cru3b a man by the enforcement of the full penalty. They would, Sherds/re, accept the offer, and allow a fortnight for the payment, calling upon the defendant to.give sureties for his appearance at that time, should the amount not be paid in the interim, himself in 501, and two sureties in 50/. each. After some further conversation, it was sgrred, on the part of the company, to necept the defendant's cheque for 50/, Mr. Clarkson obterving, that it was to be understood but all other proceedings against his client should be tbsndoned. Mr. Phillips then drew and handed over a cheque for 501., which ho said he would pay immediately if pre dented at his house; and the parties left with that un derstanding, proceedings being respited for a fortnight. THE SWELL MOB in YORKSHIRE WALKING THE HOTELS. Two cf this fraternity, having the appearance of foreigners, visited Leeds on Tuesday last, and made several bold experiments upon commercial travellers and other gentlemen staying at our principal hotels; in one instance they were successful in obtaining a small booty, including an article, the possession of which has turned out to be an awkward circumstance for them. On Tuesday night Colonel H. R. Addison, of Brompton, London, and provincial director of the Metropolitan Counties Assurance Company, slept at Scarbro's hotel, and, on dressing next morning, he found that his purse, containing lour sovereigns and some silver, bad been taken out of his trousers pocket. The circumstance was men tioned to Mr. Fleischmann, the proprietor, who, on in quiry, learnt that a stranger bad been seen in some of tne bed-rooms as early as six o'clock that morning, and that he bad corned the door cf the bar-maid's room whilst she was dressing. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and from the information given by Francis Boddy, an omnibus-driver, whose conduct is entitled to the highest praise, the two men alluded to were arrested the same day, with a large quantity of stolen valuables. Boddy first saw the parties alluded to a little after six o'clock on Wednesday morning, when one of them walked into the Royal Hotel, just as he was bringing his omnibus out. A short time after this Boddy celled at the White Horse, in Boar-lane, to take up passengers, when he was surprised at seeing one of the two men coming down stairs; ten minutes afterwards be saw him coming out i.f the Griffin Inn, in Boar-lane, join his companion, who was waiting in the street for him, and the two then walked into Betty's wood yard, at the rear of Mrs. fluggon's eating-house in 'Wellington street. All this excited the suspicion of the omnibus-driver, who about half past seven 'o'clock saw the same men leave the home of Mrs. Huggon by the front door, and walk into the Midland Railway-station opposite, the men having with them carpet bees, wrappers, coats, &c., as if just going off by the train. On seeing all this, Boddy fol lowed them, ieformed the booking clerk of his suspi cions, saw them take tickets for London, and Seat them• selves in a first class carriage. The clerk also took the precaution to keep a memorandum of the numbers of the tickets which he gave to tee two suspicious-looking fo reigners, so al to fa , Hlitate their apprehension if needful fcerwards. On the police receiving information of these circumstanccs,a in:sssce was telegraphed to the several stations on the route to London, fur the apprehension of these parties, and when tho train arrived at Rugby, about half-past one o'clock, the station-master there souget out rand gave them into the custody of Mr. Wm. Chamber lain, inspector of the police at that place, who brought them to Leeds the same afternoon. On Thursday and yesterday they were brought up at the Leeds Court house, before John Wilkinson, C. G. Maclee and Ralph Mat kland, Esqs., for examination. The evidence taken disclosed a series of syst • metic robberies in the leading hotels in different towns 'of Yorkshire. Inspector Cham berlain produced the property he found in possession of the prisoners. On Mauritz he found 22 sovereigns, nearly 4/. in silver, gold tooth-pick, pencil-case, and an eye-glass; on Allbrecht he found a gold watch, 9/. in gold, and 4/. 8a 6d. in silver; and from the carpet bag, which he owned, was taken twelve table and five des sert spoons, silver; two valuable gold watches in a silk purse, including two pairs of light pumps, two satin stocks with long fronts, each of them with gold pins stuck in them, and other articles; one of the stocks had three separate gold pins in it, with a gold chain attached. Amongst the silver found upon Allbrecht was an old Irish fivepcnny silver token, a coin not in circula tion now, and which Colonel Addison was able to strali to, it having been paid him instead of sixpence, a few days before in Manchester. The pumps found in the carpet 'bag appeared to be nearly new, being only a little dirtied on the soles, and Intl no doubt been used to enable the prisoners to pass lightly and unobserved in and out of the various lodging rooms they wished to plunder. At the examination yesterday, witnesses were present from Hull and Sheffield. Mr. Glover, of the Loudon Hotel, at Hull, identified all the seven teen silver spoons and one of the gold watches, which he said had been stolen out of his house about two o'cloek on Monday afternoon ; the spoons having been taken out of a drawer in the coffee-'room, and the watch from his daughter's lodging room. He also spoke to meeting the prisoner Mauritz on the landing up stairs on that day, when he seemed a good deal agitated, but as he said he was seeking for the water-closet no suspicion was excited. Mr. Glover's waiter also spoke to seeing the prisoner in the house, just before the plate was missed, and to serving him with a glass of port wine, when he generously re fused to accept of sixpence in change, telling the waiter to keep it for himself. Mr. Scott, a commercial traveller, who was in .attendance, identified another of the gold watches and also the purse in which it was found. He said that he slept at the Angel Inn on Monday night, and when he got up, about eight o'clock next morning, he fouud that his gold watch had been taken from the dressing-table, and a purse, containing 361. or 38/. in notes, gold, and silver. The gold watch had a brown-coloured guard, with a gold snap attached, and on the snap was engraved Mr. Scott's initials. Gee. Lee, a man employed .as boots at Shef freld,atated that on the same night as the robbery at the Angel Inn, a gentleman named Adams, had 15/. in notes and three sovereigns, and 41. to 5/. in silver stolen from his bed-room at the Royal Hotel, and amongst the sovereigns one which bad been clipped and could be identified. Inspector Chamberlain said one of the sove reigns which he found upon the prisoner Mauritz, was marked as described. Miss Huggins, of the eating-house at Leeds, stated that the two prisoners came in about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, engaged a bed room had some refreshment, and then went out stating they would have a late dinner. In the course of the af ternoon they returned, sat a short time, spoke of having dinner at six o'clock, and again left the house, to which they came back at ten o'clock. A little before six o 'clock, and before any of the Emily were up, they let themselves out by the back door, returned to the house about seven, and after paying their bill, left for the rail way station. Their proceedings were of that character that she called them " the mysterious strangers." Mr. Granger appeared for Mauritz, and Mr. Ferns for All brecht, but they illicited nothing material from the wit nesses in cross-exanination. In ansss er to the usual questions from the Bench, as to whether they wished to say any thing in defence to the charge of stealing the money of Colonel Addison, Mauritz replied, "I am guilty of the whole," but Allbrect said he was innocent; that be bad met with the other prisoner in Leeds, who had by permission put the articles found in his posses sion into his carpet bag, in consequence of their going to London in company. The Justices committed both the prisoners to York Castle for trial at the next as sizes, but directed them to be first taken to Hull and Sheffield, in order to their being examined by the ma gistrates there, for the robberies committed in those towns.

A air. Davies, a farmer, having lost several fowls, he desired the polie•?-officer, Richmond, s t a ti one d in ae neighbourhood, to watch his premises, and on Tuesday night he heard voices whisr ering in an adjoining lane, and a fluttering of fowls in the farm sheds, Th e men in the lane, on seeing the constable, ran away, having pre viously given a signal to the persons who were after wards bound on the farm premises. Richmond rushed into the farm, and, turning his light on, saw three m en taking the fowls from their roosts. The officer drew his ectla,..., and stationing himself in a door through which they would have to nes., desired them to surrender. They instantly tnade a tierce attack upon him, and in the acme° the prisoner Jenning and the other two got past hint, and apt arently fearing that he would follow them, Jenning levelled a pistol at him and fired. Pro videntially it mis.ed him, the ball striking 3goinst the brickwork. The whole (f the men ri , ourned to the placP, anti proceeded to maltreat the policeman in a most shocking manner by beating and jumping on his body. They then decamped, and the constable having recovered to a slight extent, he contrived to crawl to the dwelling and alarm the inmates. Having given his brother officers the necessary information of the aff.ay, a man named Richard Jenning was apprehended near St. Alban's on the following day, and a cut, as if from a cutlass, two or three inches in length, was fiend on his arm. The magistrates remanded the prisoner, so as to give the police an opportunity of catching the other ruffians. SMALL TENEMENTS.—Yesterday was printed the Bill as amended by the Committee, respecting the rating of small tenements. As it now stands, 6/. tenements are to be rated to the owners in respect of poor-rates and highway rates, instead of to the occupiers. MELANCITOLT ACCIDENT.—A lamentable occur rence took place in the family of Mr. Walter Paul, of Mk:l:grove, near Te.bury, on Wednesday evening. Mr. Pact gave a ball and soiree previous to his son, Captain Paul, leaving hume to join his regiment. At about nine O'clock Miss Pdul retired from the bail-room, having an attack of tic douleurcux; sho proceeded upstairs to her own room. It is supposed that she fainted as she pro ceeded from ono room to the other, the lighted candle from her hand, and her dress, being composed of white lace, rapidly ignited, and the young lady was in sta-Itly enveloped in flames. She endeavoured to ex tinguish the tire by throwing a basin of water over her self, and her screams alarmed the attendants; but we are sorry to say that before their efforts could subdue the flames she was so severely burnt as to leave but faint hopes of her recovery. We have lately received the following additional particulars from a correspondent: —About 11 o'clock on Sunday last she ceased to live.— Was Siandard. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—Yesterday morning general parade of tie troops took place at Mount Wise, consisting of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Captsin Shuttleworth, the 28th Regiment, under Msjor Adams and Major Wheeler, the Royal Marines, under Lieutenant-Colonel Wearing, and the 82d Regi ment under Major Slater. In the absence of the Major- General, the Hon. H. Murray, the command of the carrison devolves at present on Colonel Holloway, R.E. The regiments formed square, on the Parade, and Cor poral Francis Ryan, of the 82d Regiment, who bad been previously tried by general court-martial, for drunken ness and drawing his bayonet on a picquet, was brought forward, and the confirmed sentence of the court was read. He was found guilty on all the charges, and sen tenced to be reduced to the rank and pay of a private soldier, and to undergo twelve months' imprisonment in the military gaol. The troops having marched past in quick time, returned to the barracks.—Plymouth Journal. A MAYOR IN TROIAILE.—The Journal de l'Aisne relates the following story, which, it says, will form a strong argument in favour of the tew law relative to mayors :—A person in a commune in that department, who was the only grower of hemp in that district, find ing that his property was frequently stolen, stationed himself, with some of his children, in a small building near the grounds in order to detect the thieves. On the night of the 9th inst. be perceived four persons advancing towards the place. Two men immediately began to cut and tie up some of the hemp, whilst two women kept watch. The owner of the property, wishing to show the robbers that he was armed, fired a gun into the air, and then fell on the two men, at the same time uttering loud cries in order to bring assistance. The thieves turned ort to be the mayor of the commune and his son, and the women, who had immediately taken to fiigfit, were his two daughters. The men confessed that they bad robbed the hemp grounds on two previous occasions. The nizyor, it is sand, has taken to.flight. John O'Grady, a wealthy farmer in the county of Limerick, has been convicted for the murder of his wile and maid-servant on the let of November, 1848, and sentenced to be executed. The murder was particularly remarLable for the total absence of all apparent provo cation. The pri:,orer first murdered the :•ervant in the s:abie by stabbing her with a bayonet fixed on a stick, and then killed his wife by &scheming two pistqis at her while sbe was in bed. The defince was temporary aberration of mind, but this was not sustained by any evidence. Mayhew and William Gavin were convicted at the same nssizes for the murder of John Ryan, at Coppamore, and sentenced along with O'Grady to be executed on the 10th of next month. WHOLESALE AND RETAIL PRICERS OF FLOUR. —The Liverpool correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says-6 4 The Niagara steamer, which sailed on Saturday, carries out accounts cf a decline of Is. 6d. per barrel on American flour, the best old Western Canal having been sold as low as 21s. per barrel of 1961b5. ; and new as low as 18s.—the highest price of our market is now about lid. per lb.; and here allo w me again to allude to the continued discrepancy between wholesale and retail prices. I believe it will be found that the retail price of flour in the bread shops of Lancashire is twopence the lb, or 6 lbs. for a shilling, which is equal to 325. 6d. the barrel of 196 lbs., and this generally for a mixed description. The present low prices can hardly be taken as a fair average, but 25a. is as high as the article can be expected to rule in years of plenty. As to the United Stater, prices have ruled lower there than now, as the following figures will show; but we must bear in mind there the population increases, perhaps in a greater ratio than their means of production:—Ave rage prices of wheat, 60lbs. to bushel, 1840, 1 dollar; 1841, 94c. ; 1842, 1 dollar ; 1843, 75c. ; 1844. 89c. ; 1845, 86c. ; 1846, 1.04 ; 1847, 1.33 ; 1848, 1.19 dolls. The nine years give an average of 1 doll. per bushel, or 7d. a bushel lower than present prices in New York, 1.15 dolls. Seeing, therefore, the little chance there is of any considerable change, it is most desirable that retail prices should approximate to whole sale ones, thereby not only increasing the consumption, but contributing most extensively to the comforts of the people." _ _ _ _ A JEwtsu MARTYR.—It is our painful duty to record a case of martyrdom which but recently occurred in the empire of Morocco. We give the awful details from a private letter which we have seen, received by Mr. Abraham Sebag, a respectable Jewish merchant, re siding in Castle-street, St. Mary-axe, London, whose brother has fallen a victim to the barbarity of the in habitants of that uncivilized country. It appears that Judah Sebag, a Jewish merchant, who resided in a town called Alig, near Mogador, was maliciously accused of having spoken blasphemy against the Mohammedan faith. The cause of this malice was the jealousy of some Mohammedan merchants. He was dragged before the governor, or, rather, the chief magistrate of the city, whose name is Lcchusman ben Hassam. The evidence against him having been heard, the sentence of the judge was, that he either must embrace Mohammedanism, or be turned to death. Judah Sebag indignantly refused to deny his religion, and nobly chose the alternative— death. The governor immediately ordered a large fire t) be made, into which the man was thrown, and soon devoured by the flames. He was but twenty-four years of age. The letter concludes with the following words of consolation :—" Ile died for the glory and sanctifica tion of his faith acid his God, and may his soul be bound up in the bundle of life."—Jewish Chronicle. A JEW ELECTED AS REPRESENTATIVE FOR HAM 'BURGH IN THE ERFURT PARLIAMENT.—We are in debted to a correspondent for the following information received from Hamburg!), dated the 16th inst..—The election of a representative for this city to the German Parliament now a ssembled at Erfurt has been decided, the choice of t he electors havin g unanimousl y fall e n on Dr. Gabriel Biesser, the champion of Jewish emancipa tion in Germany, who has agitated this question for 20 years, and has now seen it nearly universally carried out. It is a remarkable fact, that it is scarcely twelve months since the Hamburgh Jews have acquired the full right ef citizmiship, and now a native Jow is sent by the city is their representative to the German Parliament; but this election is quite in honour of the man and his great principles. Ile was last year in the Frankfort Parliament, as member for the dukedom of Lauenburg, and for a lung forsonie absence timeitsv i th e icoepre presidentsidenthefalie n d thethe chair during most critical period, and was one of the delegates to Berlin t) cffer the imperial crown to the King of Prussia. Dr. Gabriel Itieseer is a warden of the ilambureh Jewish cuLgregetion.—J,wi.sli Chronicle. b A CLEVER TRICE.—Eirly one morning about a fortnight since a beat was rowed under the Hoe, when the crew hoisa•d keit a chest, not unlike one of thote last mansions of mortality," yclept coffins. Some of them proceeded with it towards the town, when a by stander—end, rumour s'ates, attired not unlike a pre ventiv- man—va , s asked, - Which is the way to the I )' ,7 Yitie-zround in NV eetwell-street ?" The bystanders, like the Quitter, answered the question by asking an otht r, " Wha have you got there ?" The reply was, " Oh, One of our s hipmates is gone off, and we are going to bury him I .'"l'he road to the burying-ground was then poineal out; but by a dodge the chest was taken to the railway station in time fur the early train, and in a few brief hours the chest was "far north." Those oho laugh most at the hoax, say the chest was full of cigars, nye. real Haysnnahs!—Plymouth Journal. FonciGs Figi.—Sotne very large arrivals cf fish, of foreign taking, the production of the Dutch rivers and the North Sea, of various kinds, are at the present time taking place from Rotterdam, amounting, in tome in- OW" to ictillli huluirod skcknee.

The occurrences of every day de monstrate the accumulating necessity for an opposition to the spirit of ecclesiastical domination upon false pretences. The Sunday tyranny, the Baptism tyranny, and the Marriage tyranny, are all scions of the same root, in which the essence of the enjoyment to the executors is, that the pleas are logically and scripturally false. The following petition, signed by a baroneted vicar and 215 of his neighbours, and pre sented with approbation by Sir John Tyrell, M.P. for North Essex, ought to lead the way to more ex pressions of opinion on the subject. If it does not, we are in a fair way of being made as ridiculous in the eyes of Protestant Europe as the Spaniards and Portuguese with their five saints'-days a-week. 'The bumble petition of the undersigned persons using the post-office at Witham, in the county of Essex, " Slieweth, " Tbat your petitioners believe the dispatch of Post-office business and transmission of letters on the Sunday (as at present arranged) to be absolutely ne ,cessary. " That yotirt petitioners do not consider Post-office i.lahour on the;Su' May, under the recent regulations, in jurious: to the,linteresta ,ef society, oppressive to the public sorvant4,4v to form any serious obstacle to the enjoyment of , the physical, moral, and spiritual ad vantages which attend freedom from labour one day in seven. "That under the present arrangements the post masters and others connected with the Post-office have every opportunity of keeping Sunday as a day of rest and enjoyment in the proper sense of the word, and have ample opportunity of attending divine worship as often as any ether class of her Majesty's subjects. " Your petitioners yield to no one in a sincere de sire that Sunday should be kept holy, and have seen with great satisfaction the efforts on the part of the Government to abridge as much as possible Sunday labour; but your petitioners view with disapprobation the proceedings of a few individuals, meeting in the me tropolis as a board or society, in sending into the country petitions praying your Honourable House to cause all Post-office business to be suspended on the Sunday throughout the coua try, as calculated to deceive your Honour able House into a belief that such petitions originate spontaneously in the country, instead of with the indi viduals alluded to. "That your petitioners consider the entire cessation in the delivery and receipt of letters on the Sunday would be attended with great inconvenience, seriously compro mise the commercial interests of the kingdom, and in stead of diminishing have a tendency to increase Sunday labour. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Ho nourable House not to pass any law by which all Post office business would be suspended on the Sunday throughout the country. "And your petitioners will ever pray, &o. " HENRY DIRON. "JOHN PAGE WOOD, Dart., Vicar of Cressing. " EDWARD W. BANKS." &C. &C. &c. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE - OF FRIDAY.
