Morning . 21 minute , : after 11 I Evening .. 51 inlnutee after 11 disgrace would not have been cut on the English ad ministration of justice—what a heavy blow and deep dis couragement would not have been given to our efforts for the abolition of the slave-trade—what danger might not have been incurred in our relations with Brazil ! Aa it is, Mr. Baron PLATT'S judicial conduct cannot but have lowered the character of our Judges in the estima tion of foreign powers. The grounds on which the Judges have determined that the conviction was illegal are understood to be two. The convention• of 1826 with Brazil, which de clares Brazilians carrying on the slave-trade pirates is not sufficient, in the opinion of the Judges, to give our Courts power to punish them as pirates, there being no law in Brazil making the carrying on of the slave-trade piracy. The carrying on of the slave-trade is not piracy by the law of nations; it cannot be made so, say the Judges, by treaties. The Brazilian Executive can not supersede the Brazilian Legislature in the making of laws; and until the Brazilian Legislature has passed an Act making the carrying on of the slave-trade piracy, we cannot legally punish them as such, notwithstanding the convention with Brazil. The other ground of reversal is, Chat the Felicidade had no slaves on board when she was captured, and our treaty with Brazil prescribes that no slave ship shall be detained, " not having slaves actually On board;" that the capture of the Felicidade being thus illegal, the cap ture of the Echo was illegal also, and that the prisoners were thus justified in putting Mr. PALMER and his men to death, no other means being sufficient to extricate themselves from illegal custody. We thus see what caution is necessary on the part of British officers in carrying out powers, given by treaties with foreign nations, for sup pression of the slave-trade. A failure arising from an exceeding of our powers injures the cause which the English nation has so greatly at heart, and for which the English people have laboured and sacrificed so much. The continued failure of the Brazilian Legislature to pass an Act making carrying on the slave-trade piracy, and thus give effect to the convention of 1826, is a subject of far greater interest and importance. The explanation of the conduct of the Brazilian Legislature is our own conduct with regard to Brazilian sugar. They will do nothing to further our objects while our com mercial legislation proscribes their staple article of commerce. But this is a subject too large to enter upon at the tail of an article. We shall shortly return to it. On Monday we expressed our conviction, from what had occurred at two agricultural meetings held last week, as well as from the tone of journals which advo cate the claims of the landed interest, that the " farmers' friends " were resolved to resist every alteration of the corn-laws. Our anticipation has been completely con firmed by the proceedings which took place yesterday at the annual meeting of the Agricultural Protection Society, held at the Society's Rooms, Bond-street. The meeting was not large, for, according to some accounts, it did not exceed fifty members ; but that is not material, for many of them were delegates from branch societies established in the provinces, and the chair was taken by the Duke of RICHMOND, regarded as the head of the party resolved to resist to the last all further concessions to the corn-law repealers. No other nobleman attended except the Marquis of SALISBURY, though a communi cation was received from the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, who simply stated that he was desirous of being present, but was unavoidably prevented from attending. This, we admit, looks a little ominous for the " protection" advocates. For some time his Grace was the leader of the party, and had obtained the endearing epithet of the " Farmer's Friend :" be actually resigned his seat in the PEEL Cabinet, because he would not hear of the sliding scale being touched, though ever so gently ; and great expectations were entertained that when in opposition he would have rallied his friends, and made a successful stand with those who had placed Sir ROBERT PEEL at the head of the Cabinet. From some cause or other, however, all these expectations were grievously disap pointed ; his Grace evinced no vigour in the good cause, and actually refrained from attending agricultural meetings when he knew the backslidings of the Premier would form the principal topic of discussion. He still perseveres in the same plan, and the Duke of Bleu- MOND, therefore, may expect little aid from his brother of BUCKINGHAM. But the Noble President of the Pro tection Society is, like all his family, brave and un daunted, and will fight the battle to the last, though even single-handed. "In your hands," said he, " and io the hands of the Protection Societies of England, at the present moment, are the weal and greatness of the country. My opinions are unchanged. I hope and trust that the report which we have heard as to the intention of the Government to move a repeal of the corn-law upon the first or second day of the next session of Parliament is not a correct one. I cannot believe that it is. I cannot believe that such perfidy could enter the minds of any Government. I cannot believe that it should. All I can say is, that if, unfor tunately, it has, I hope the House of Commons, the members and representatives of the agricultural interest, will throw it out. And if they do not, I look still to the hereditary Peerage of England for maintaining your interests." These sentiments were responded to with loud cheers, and a petition to the Legislature was pro posed and adopted, calling upon them to uphold in their integrity the present system of the corn-laws, or appeal to the constituencies of the United Kingdom—in other words, call upon her MAJESTY to dissolve the pre sent Parliament. The numerous free-trade meetings held lately throughout the country have afforded well grounded hopes that the corn-laws cannot last another session; but these hopie greatly strengthened by the proceedings which taok place yesterday at this Anti- League Society, and especially by the dubious language in which some of the speakers expressed themselves. They have no hopes in the Minister, and even doubt the loyalty of those who were to unmake him. Many of them have already yielded to his gentle insinuations, and more desertions are anticipated; indeed such is the spirit of disaffection, that little confidence is placed in the decision of the Commons, and the only hope is from a new Parliament. This is a dismal prospect for the Protectionists in the present excited state of the country, with such a power ful Opposition pledged to total repeal, and with the we ll known sentiments of Sir R. PEEL in regard to the principles of free trade. If the present Parliament, returned for the purpose of resisting any change in the corn-laws, cannot resist public opinion and the great crisis brought about by the state of the crops, what hopes can the Duke of RICHMOND have from an appeal to the people, or what grounds can he find for believing that a new Parliament would be more powerful ? It cannot be doubted that a vast number of Tories and Conservatives engaged in trade are as anxious for a change as the Whigs or the League, that many of them would vote for a repeal of the corn-laws, and that in many boroughs, where at the ge neral election the Tory interest prevailed from antipathy to the last Administration, free-traders would be returned, and after a delay of some six months, during which time trade and enterprise would be paralysed, the great measure would be carried by a large majority. The Duke of litcliatozim had therefore better yield in season, and not encourage an agitation which may lead to other " encroachments" on the landed interest, besides the very harmless repeal of this useless tax. His Grace knows well the sentiments of the Scotch I farmers on the subject; he knows that the unsettled state of the law - has driven many of them to the conclusion that it can exist no longer with safety to agriculture, and also that large numbers of the English tenantry are coming round to the same opinions. Would it not, therefore, be wise on the part of a nobleman, in other respects so estimable, to give up his crochet and subm with a good grace to imperious necessity ? Madrid journals of the 2d have been received. From all accounts the Government is gaining strength and confidence every day ; the Opposition can make no resistance, and the financial measures of Senor MON are furnishing money for the payment of the troops--a cir cumstance greatly calculated to secure their fidelity. NARVAEZ, having gained the confidence cf the army, has now turned his attention to the journalists, and with some of the income-tax, probably, has purchased in the name of a friend (such is the report) the lieraldo, for some time a renegade Opposition paper. The price is 42,000 piastres, and the ex-editors are also provided for. The Funds improved on the 2d, the Three per Cents. closing at 36* at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 24 1-16, at 60 days. The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and - share-market on Monday are very favourable. The settlement of accounts went off, not only without any untoward event, but with a considerable advance. The tendency to sell has completely disappeared, and the tide runs strong in favour of investment at the present low prices. During the last week the Three per Cents. had advanced If. 30c., and the Fives 90c.; and in Rail way Shares the improvement is still more marked. The political articles in the journals possess little inte rest. Those of the Opposition appear to have great diffi culty in finding reasons for attacking M. GUIZOT during tie ensuing session. The Aational, the most violent of Vie party, can find nothing to harp upon but the expedi t on to Madagascar, which, in the opinion of the writer, s'iows that the Foreign Minister is prepared to sacrifice the rights of France to please the English Ministry. " An expedition," it says, " is organised, and will con sist of several frigates, with infantry on board, a►ad some other vessels of minor force. But it is not less certain that an expedition is also being prepared in England, and everything seems to intimate that the two Powers will act in concert. We had a presentiment of th's new baseness. However, in present circumstances, the question was so clear, the right of France so evident and so incontestable, tl.at we allowed ourselves to hope vaguely for a decision in conformity with the interests of the country. England is allowed to combat populations lying under the exclu sive sovereignty of France. She is allowed a right which is a formal denial of her own. She is permitted to appear at Madagascar on the same footing as we our selves, who are the masters of the whole island. In a word, our title-deeds to a magnificent country are torn up, simply for the purpose of adding a new conces sion to all those which the entente cordiale has already cost us." The late dispatches from Algeria furnish topics of discussion for the Opposition journals, and those of the Government can make but a poor defence in reply to facts about which there can be no dispute, In a dispatch published in the Moniteur, General D'AR BOUVILLE describes the treacherous reception given to his column by a Kabyle tribe,:near a place called Oued- Bouilec-Badou, and the chastisement upon them, by setting fire to 300 houses, and destroying the property and all who defended them. Next day, the 25th of No vember, the same tribe, to the number of 3,000, at tacked him with the utmost spirit and bravery, and he likewise pretty clearly avows that, after three hour, of firing, and repeated bayonet charges, he was corn pelled to retreat. The rising in the province of Constantin!) is considered of a serious character. The Journal des Debuts, in adverting to the movement of A BD. EL-KADER in the cirection of Taguine says :—" This expedition of the EMIR, al though it has taken place beyond our line of frontier and the territory called the Tell, is not the less detrimental to our interests, inasmuch as it makes many tribes, whose cavalry is strong, and who previously had either submitted or were neutral. fall again under the EMIR'S yoke. The EMIR has striven to cut off our commercial relations with our allies of the Ksour, or fortified towns, of El Aghouat and Ain Madhy. He must have de stroyed the fortifications which General MARCY had raised on the road from Boghar to Taguine, in order to serve as points d'appui to the Arab Douars entrusted with the protection of the caravans from El Aghouat to Medeah. ABD-fiL-KADE WS mere appearance in the dis trict of Tittery, the news of which will be sure to spread afar, just as if he were approaching in person, may give rise to insurrections, and revive such as have just been crushed. General JUSSAS has been sent on to Tenich-el-Had, in order to pursue the Emit ; but the latter will nowhere wait for him, his plan being always to avoid an encounter, and to harass us on all points by means of an insurrection of the tribes." The P~ esse writes in the strongest terms against the ruinous policy pursued by BUGEAUD, and gives the fol lowing letter of a correspondent, dated Oran, Nov, 25, to show that every day the new mode of warfare increases in atrocity : "We are here without any news from the army. The Marshal has given the most peremptory orders to the Gene rals, and other officers in command of columns, to suffer nothing relating to their operations to transpire, and to give no account of them to any one but himself. All we know is, that these commanders have orders to burn as many villages, and cut off as many heads a s p oss ibl e . Thi rteen villages have been burnt in the environs of Tlemcen. General de Lamori ciere is at Mascara, and the Marshal in the country of the Flittas. The communications between Oran and 'Tlemcen are still interrupted, and all we learn from Tlemcen reaches us through Djemma Ghazaouat, and we cannot tell when the next convoy for Tlemcen will take its departure."

A rumour prevailed in the elubs last night, which we deem t right to publish, as a good deal of credit was attached to it. It is said that the Duke of Wellington refuses to support any alteration in the corn-laws, and that in consequence of the difficulty thus created Sir Robert Peel has determined to resign. It is added, in confirmation of this statement, that it was determined at the Cabinet Council, held on Moneay, that Parliament should be again further prorogued, instead of being summoned by proclamation for the dispatch of btu i • ness.—Chronicle..[We attach little credit to this rumour. The Duke of Wellington will not commit a second time a blunder like that by which he gave such an impulse ti Par liamentary Reform, and obstinately refuse to support any alteration in the corn-laws. Indeed, we have heard that he has expressed himself without equivocation in a very dif ferent manner, and that he considers the corn-laws "doomed." —En. Sun.] PRIVY COUNCIL AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OP WIGHT. —Sir Robert Peel and other Cabinet Ministers left town at an early hour this morning for Osborne House, where her Majesty will hold a Privy Council. The Ministers were expected to return to town this evening. A spe. cial train on the South- Western Railway conveyed the Ministerial party from town. GREAT PEDEBTRIAN FEAT.—On Tuesday the match made for the celebrated runner Maxfield (alias the North Star) came off near the North Star Inn, at Slough. Max field was backed for a !take of 501., to cover eleven miles of road within one hoar from the time of starting, a feat (with the exception of Jackson, the American Deer, who ran a similar distance within an hour) almost unprecedented. The betting odds were laid on time, and very large sums of money were pending. At the start he went away at a rapid pace, accomplishing the first mile under five minutes; the three next miles were gone over at a similar rate, when ho relaxed a little during the fifth mile, and had finally covered half the distance in 29 minutes. He continued at his Herculean un dertaking, and won the match by minutes. The eleven miles of ground was travelled over in 58 minutes and 45 se conds. The pedestrian at the termination seemed but little distressed, considering the arduous undertaking he had ac complished. THE CORN-LAWS.—Tun AMERICAN MINISTER.— The Secretary of the Legation to the United States, Mr. Ganesvoost llfelville, has written a letter to the Morning Herald in reference to an article which appeared in that journal on the Bth December, in which it is stated that the American Minister has been charged with misinforming the Times on the subject of the intentions of the British Cabinet as to the corn-laws, for the purpose of sending out to the United States fabricated news that might influence the deci sion of the tariff question. It appears that Mr. M`Lane left London. for Paris on the 3d inst., but Mr. Melville, in the ab sence of Mr. M•Lane, without communication with him and or his (Mr. Melville's) own responsibility, denies, explicitly, fully, and without reserve, each and every imputation con tained in that article, and brands them with falsehood from first to last. AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The an nual meeting of the society took place yesterday afternoon at the offices of the Institution, Old Bond-street, the Duke of Richmond, President of the Society, in the chair. Mr. IV. Miles, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., Mr. Stafford O'Brien, M.P., Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. -J. J. Allnatt, Mr. IV. Bennett, Mr. R. Healy, Mr. T. Umbers, and several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, urging the several districts and pa rishes of the United Kingdom to forward petitions to the Le gislature firmly to uphold the present system of the corn laws, and to resist to the utmost any attempt at further al teration. A petition to the above effect was then adopted. Mr. Fisher Hobbs then proposed that the Duke of Richmond be re-elected President of the Society for the ensuing year. Mr. Turner seconded the motion, and it was carried nem. con. The Duke of Richmond, in returning thanks, assured the meeting that he would exert himself to the utmost during the ensuing session to promote the objects of the society. The Rev. Mr. Gwilt then moved that the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos be the Vice-President, the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Cleveland, and the Earl of Itirborough, trustees of the society. The resolution having been seconded, was carried unanimously. The cus tomary vote of thanks was then presented to the Duke of Richmond. His Grace brieflyacknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. FALL Or A THEATRE AT BERWICK.—For tome time past a company of itinerant players have been perform ing in Berwick, under the management of Mr. H. Wynn. They had a place fitted up in the old shambles. Monday evening being the manager's benefit the theatre was fuller than usual, and owing to the temporary manner in which it was fitted up the gallery gave way, and precipitated those in it over into the pit. Some of the audience got themselves bruised slightly, but fortunately no bones were broken..— Kelso Chronicle P • • , :$4lllO ":ficznait ,weAtt...--‘, • 14i'iberntir ONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10 1843 The reversal by the Judges of the conviction for mur d r of the seven Brazilians, tried and sentenced to death by Mr. Baron PLATT last autumn at Exeter, is an evrnt which, for many reasons, should not pass Aith out public comment. The chief facts of the case a re briefly these. The Felicidade, a Brazilian schooner, fitted out for the slave trade, but having no slaves on board, was captured in February list by H. M. brig Wasp ; and the Felicidade, having been taken possession of by the officers of the Wasp, afterwards captured another Brazilian slaver, the Echo. Some of the crew of the Echo were taken to the Felicidade, and there left under the charge of Mr. PALMER, midshipman of the Wasp. Tbey fell upon Mr. PALMER and his men, and, after stabbing thee with knives, threw them all overboard. The Felicidade was afterward• cteptured by H. M. ship Star; and ten of the Brgziliarrs concerned in the death of Mr. PALMER and 1116 men, being brought prisoners to England and landed at Plymoullt, were tried at the last summer assizes al Exeter for murder. Seven were found guilty, and sen tenced to death. The counsel for the prisoners urged a variety of points, chiefly arising out of the treaties with Brazil for the suppression of the slave-trade, to show that the capture of the Echo, and consequently the detention of its crew, was illegal, and that the prisoners having no other means of extricating themselves from illegal custody than by killing Mr. PALMER and his men, were not guilty of murder, but committed an act of justifiable homicide. Mr, Baron PLATT overruled all the points nista]. Mr. Sergeant MANNING, the prisoner's counsel, then urged the Judge, in consideration of the great im p mtance of the case, and of the nicety and newness of the points raised, to reserve these points for the opinion of the fifteen Judges. It would be thought that the Judge would have been glad of an excuse to relieve him self of the awful responsibility, and, if only one doubtful point had presented itself, would have been eager, in such a case, to have the opinions of all his brethren. Not so Mr. Baron PLATT. Not one point only, but six or seven points of nicety, were raised in this case by the j risoner's counsel ; and the professional character of Mr. Sergeant MANNING wa s a guarantee that the points mere worthy of consideration. Mr. Baron PLarr saw no necessity to reserve anything ; h e h ad his doubts at first on some of the points, and had expressed th em ; he had admitted that the points were new ; that the Bra zilian treaty, on which- all depended, W Sa new to him ; but in a trice his mind was made up—he had no doubt ; there should b e no delay: the jury found ::even of the ten prisoners guilty, and Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced them to death ; and they would have been hung within ten days but for the interposition of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who did what Mr. Baron PLATT had refused to do —brought the case under the review of the fifteen Judges, who, lifter much deliberation, and after calling for a second argument from civilians, have reversed Mr. Baron PLATT'S judgment. If Mr. Baron PLATT has any feelings of s l iame, • do not envy him un ler their working at this moment. To Sir JAMES GRATI CV credit is due for the moral Courage Of en interference that must have been most unpalatable to a Judge very recently made by his own Government.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.). (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) ABSENCE OF JURI MEN AND ATTORNEYS.—On the names of twenty-four jurymen being called only eleven answeree, notwithstanding that a week ago four were lined 51. each for non-attendance. On another juryman being found, further delay took place in consequence of none of the solicitors being in attendance. The counsel, Mr. Payne and Mr. Thomas, urged that all the cases ought to be struck out, as it was too bad that the busi r.ess of the Court should be at a stand still. The SECONDARY called the causes, and after some time, the attorney in the last cause answered, but coun sel objected to its being taken out of rotation; ultimately the following cause was called on:— WICKS V. HEAP. 1% 3% 35 3 4' 1 3 / 4 3 3 / 4 -- 2IA 25 LA This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 10s., for money lent. The deft ndant pleaded that he was not in debted. On the part of the plaintiff two witnesses were called, who deposed that the defendant had frt quently admitted .that the money had been lent, and had often promised to pay as soon as possible. Mr PAYNE, for the defendant, elicited that the parties had formerly been friends but had quarrelled. The attorney's cierk admitted that he had gone to de fendant's as a friend of plaintiff, to ask defendant to make terms. He denied that be went for the express purpose of getting an admission, as they had witnesses; th( y were relations of defendant, and plaintiff did not wish to call them. '1 he Learned Counsel strongly urged that the jury ought to look on these cases with great suspicion when there were no documents to prove the loan. Witnesses were for some reason kept back. The SECONDARY said the question was, were the witnesses to be relied on—there were ne means of clip dieting the case by evidence. The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict fur the amount claimed. MARLBRo'-STREET.—(THISDAY.) George Vincent, a young man of decent appearance, was charged with attempting to pick pockets. Mr. James Robinson, of Pembroke-mews, Grosvenor square, coach maker, stated that about eight o'clock last evening, as he was passing along Piccadilly, he felt some one press against him from bchind, aad turning sudden!y round, found the prisoner close to him. lie was in a stooping position, with his hand against his (complainant's) coat pocket, and in the act of attempt ing to draw something out. He immediately seized him, and g .ve him into the custody of the police. Air. MALTBY asked the prisoner what answer he had to make to this charge ?—The prisoner said he merely pushed up against Mr. Robinson in passing in a hurry ; it was done quite accidentally, and not with the inten tion of robbery. His friends were in respectable cir cumstances, his father having been in business for many years. . . . . . Mr. MALTBY—But at the station•house I see you re fused to give your address. Prisoner—l did so, as Ido not wish my friends to know that such a charge has beets made against me. The name I gave is not my right one. Mr. MALTBY— WiII you give your right name and address now? Prisoner—l must decline doing so; it would bring such disgrace on my amity. Mr. Robinson said there were two other young men in company with the prisoner. The prisoner said he was on his way borne by himself. Police constable,B4 of the C division, stated that he had seen the prisoner and two other men come out of the Egyptian•hall about a quarter of an hour before. They were pointed out to him by an indifferent person as suspicious characters, and he watched them following up a lady for several hundred yards. - The prisoner said that none of the police knew any thing against his character. Mr. MALTBY said, in order to afford the opportunity of making further inquiries, he should remand him until Monday next. Chart die Burt, a middle-aged female, dressed in deep mourning, was charged with having been found by the police, at two o'clock this morning, drunk in St. James'. street, and causi: g a great disturbance. The defendant said that lit r husband had been totally ruined by play, at one of the gaming-houses there, and being in distresged circumstances, she went to ask for relief, and was turned from the house in a very insulting manner. This irritated her feelings, and induced her to make the disturbance complained ol—Discharged. NAYLAND.—FATAL AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —The following dreadful accident, which has cast a gloom over the village of Nayland, occurred about two o'clock on Friday last. As the two daughters of Mr. J. S. Mortimer, of the White Hart Inn, were returning from Colchester in a little pony gig, when passing a waggon, laden with coals, and drawn by four horses, belonging to Mr. Grimwade, of Polstead in the narrow way, opposite the Post-office, Nayland, on emerging into the broadway, by the Vine Inn, the eldest Miss Mortimer urged the pony forward, by incautiously touching the reins. The pony started a little to the off side to clear the fore-horses of the waggon, when she was thrown from her scat on to her head, directly under the traps of the wheel-horse, the wheels passing over part of her dress, and though between the wheels, they did not touch her. Assistance was immediately at hand, but on being taken up, most melancholy to relate, the vital spark had fled, her neck being dislocated by the fall. No blame could be attributed to the younger Miss Mortimer, who was driving, nor to the men with the waggon, who were walking by the side of the horses at the time. The following day an inquest was held before Harry Wayman, Esq , and a highly respectable jury, when a verdict " Accidental death " was returned.— Ipswich Express. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—Yesterday (Monday) morning, two partridges alighted in Mr. Fraser's garden, in St. Alary Elms. On attempting to capture them, one of them flew into Mr. Smart's bedroom through the window, where it was soon taken, and the other flew to the roof of a neighbouring home. It is supposed the birds had been on the wing till they were ex hausted, and being unable to clear the town, dropped into the first open space that presented itself.—lpswich Express. We learn from a Clonmel correspondent that a considerable sum has been abstracted freni one of the joint stock banks of that town, by persons employed in the estab lishment. There is also a rumour of a borough functionary being implicated in some suspicious transactions with the ' same concern. For obvious reasons we abstain from any observations, and decline giving the names of the parties.— Deblin Evening Mail. THE. IloN. Mn. BOUVERIE, M.P.—We • have ob served with great pleasure the progress of this popular repre sentative among his constituents. Two weeks ago his re ception in Kilmarnock was of the most flattering description. During last week a similar reception awaited him in the Clyde burghs. In each and all of these Whig, Tory, and Radical, having extended the right hand of friend ship to him, and in every instance with expressions of personal regard, which must have been most gratifying to the recipient. Nor has this manifestation of kind and friendly feelings been the result of trimming or wavering opinions on either side—it hasbeen achieved by the straight forward, manly, and useful bearing of Mr. Bouverie as a legis lator. He has never concealed his opinions from friend or foe —he. has given effect to them by his votes—in all cases honest conviction has been the basis of both—and so highly has his integrity been appreciated, that difference of opinion betwixt him and the electors is now regarded by both as forming no barrier in the interchange of good offices and friendly feel ings. Accordingly, in the performance of any local duties de volving on him, Mr. Bouverie has neitter known nor in quired into the political opinions of those who sought his services, it was enough for him that those services were sought by an elector or inhabitant of the Kilmarnock and Clyde burghs. We have preferred saying this much of Mr. lionverie's present position with his constituents to giving any account of his public appearance in the burghs; these, we would scarcely add, were chiefly remarkable for a nar rative of his stewardship, frank, faithful, and unflinching, which, in everyinstance, was received with gratitude and extreme satisfaction.—Glasgow Argus. SUICIDR OF MR. Fisit, BANKER.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest in the drawing-room of the Finsbury Bank for Deposits and Current Accounts, upon the bady of Air. William Croft Fish, aged 55, proprietor of the bank and senior churchwarden of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell. Constable James Thomas, 139 G, deposed that he was called into the bank by a servant shortly after five o'clock, last Sunday m - irning, who told him that Mrs. Fish, baying missed her nusband, was alarmed for his safety, and wished him to examine the house for him. He did so, and finding the closet door fastened upon the inside, he forced it open, and saw deceased dressed in a morning gown sitting in it, and leaning a little on one side. He was quite dead, and besides the dressing-gown only had on his shoes, shirt, and flannel waistcoat. There was a rent in his dressing gown, upon raising which it was ascertained that he had shot him self through the right side, and that this ball (a musket one) passed out of the opposite side and fell inside his dressing gown. Upon removing him a large double-barrelled pistol (which witness with the ball produced) was discovered con coaled beneath the dressing gown. 'Flie right barrel was dis charged, and the other was loaded, having the cap on the nipple, and the trigger cocked. Mr. Croft, chief clerk in the bank, examined.—He knew deceased 25 years. About four years ago he opened the bank upon his own account. Last Saturday night he was exceedingly depressed,and complained of his head, which he said was " ready to burst." By the Coroner—There was a run upon the bank. Other evidence having been adduced, the jury, without a moment's delibera tion, returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity." SPLENDID RUN WITH THE - SURREY STAG HOUNDS. —On Tuesday, the meet was at Mr. Fuller's, Addington Village, open house to the hunt-the respected master and a large field of the right sort was at this favourite meet. After a capital run of three hours, the deer was taken in the river, off Erith. Many of those who crossed Plumstead marshes will never wish to do so again, especially if mounted en grey horses, for the mud of the ditches disfigures both man and horse; so much so, that is impossible to recognie either.
