Tropical Climates. EQU FIRE Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Tire has keen so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. fie true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only bo ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so groat a calamity as lire, anti the Insurer is laeeely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supportieg a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the feature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as retards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual Investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of ono moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon over),lescript!nn of Preeerty on moderate terms.

The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englaufi. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501. —making together 7007., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1150, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. .2ropusals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9137.25.

THOMAS RUSSELL, COUNTY MAGISTRATE. Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held au inquest at the Victoria Tavern, Mornineton-road, Camden-town, on the body of Thomas Russell, Esq., aged 73, a church trustee and chairman of the bench of magistrates for the St. Pancras division. Thomas Smith, Esq., of Haverstock-hill, was chosen foreman, and the remainder of the panel consisted of vestrymen and directors of the poor of Sc. Pancras. The body of the deceased gentleman lay at his late residence, .53, Albert-street, Mornington-crescent. Harriet Bloom said that she had been housekeeper to Mr. Russell, who was a single gentleman, for the last 17 years. lie loft home on Monday morning about eleven o'clock, and she hoard no more of him until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when she was infecund of what had happened, and that his body was on its way to his late residence. Deceased had an nttack of apoplexy about two years since, and from that time he appeared more forgetful, and had but indifferent health. Charlotte Farnan, the wife of a whitesinith, of Little George-street, Hampstead-road, gave evidence touching the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Russell, as detailed in yesterday's paper. Mr. John Christian Day said he was a surgeon, resid ing at 42, Robert-street, Hampstead-road; he was called about half-past 3 o'clock on Monday. On reaching the house in Little George-street he found deceased on his knees in the closet, and a roan holding him up in his arms, He was quite dead. He had since made a post mortem examination. The brain was congested and ' highly vascular. There had been previous inflammation of the brain, but no sign of recent disease. There was great opacity of the arachnoid, and the brain was softened all over. - The heart contained a great mass of fluid blood, was much dilated, and exceedingly vascular. Ii was a very large muscular heart. The lungs were gorged with blood, although no vessel had given way in the chest. He had no doubt whatever, from the state of the head and chest, that death had resulted from enoplexy. Mr. Tunalley, his medical adviser, had e i,:ed that he saved him two years ago front an attack by blejding. Th e j u ,: , returned a verdict of " Natural Death."

About eight o'clock the accused's father walked over to the butcher's house to hear the parti culars of so serious a charge, but, he not being in the house, he mentioned the matter to his wife, who seemed thunder struck with astonishment and surprise, and said that her husband was subject to " walking dreams." and on the night in question she was dirturbed in her sleep by her hus band pulling off his clo-bes to get into bed. When she asked what he had been tieing up at that time of the night, he replied that ne had been to the shippon to see that the cows were all right. She thought no more of it. but went to sleep ; and when she got up in the morning to milk the cows, was surprised to find them all loose in the shippon, with the exception of cne, which )ore visible marks of ill-usage in flicted with a strong stick - , which ley close by, and which had been taken out of the: house tha same night.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE: HOME ClRCUl7'..iewes, March 12. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PART E and a Special Jury.) HART V. BRADBURY AND ANOTHER. This was ..tm action brought by Henry Hart to recover damages from Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, the pro prietors of Punch, for a libel published is that humorous publication. Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Ur. thrill, wore for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Cnambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, were for the defendants. only divided 11. 7e. 61. at this time, but I bad another sovereign soon afterwards. We remained in the wood until between nine and ten in the morning of the 2,1 of January, and thee we separate:i, and the two Smiths -.nd tn:3 Went to GatoziAridge. We had a good deal or Le 'r at this plsce, and I got tipsy, and dropp , tl and John Smite took it, and would not return it, nwi I gave him in charge for it, but th next day I would not press the charge. I was taken into custody soon after wards, and a coat, my mask, some j3wellery, and the 51. note, wore found in my possession. The prisoners put some questions to the witness, but did not elicit anything favourable to tham, and they then declared, with groat violence, that, all he had said was false. There were three counts in the declaration, the first charging the publication of a specific libel, to which the defendants pleaded that they bad made the publication without malice, and had subsequently published an apology, and had paid 51. into court as damages. The other two counts charged the defendants with publishing an ironical earicature - of the plaintiff, and that the apology was not bond fide, but that it WVIS in reality a continua tion of the libel. To both these counts the defendants pleaded not guilty. The present action arose out of these circumstances. The plaintiff, who is of the Jewish persuasion, had bean taken into custody fur inciting a young man, named Newland, t 3 rob his employers; and, it will bo recol lected, that about the same period another Jew, named Barnett, was charged with a similar offence. Upon the trial of the plaintiff, it turned out that Newland had told a great many lies upon the mattereand as his evidence was not corroborated, in any measure, the jury ac quitted him. The other man, Barnett, however, was convic'ed, and he was sentenced to he transported for fourteen years. It appeared that before the trial some comment hut been made upon the conduct of the plaintiff in Punch, and it was for these comments that.the present action was brought. The defendants, it appeared, sub sequently published an apology, and in the same number there was a humorous caricature, reprenenting a Jew old clothesman, -dealing with a 'little boy, outside a pawnbroker's shop, and it was contended that the de fendants hal made an ironical apology, and published a malicious caricature, with the intention of still injuring the plaintiff. Mr. CHARMERS, in addressing the jury for the defen dant, said, that although Punch had now been in exis. tence a great many years, and bad been read with amusement and delight by millions during that period, this was the first time the proprietors of this talented and clever publication had ever been charged with publishing a malicious libel. They had exposed the follies and vices of the day, and had even invaded the domestic peace of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, it was true, but no one had ever yet imputed to them a desire to do more than expose, in a witty and funny manner, those vices and follies. No class of the community, from the highest to the lowest, had escaped, when the circumstances justified it, the attack of the witty pens of the writers in Punch, and he had no doubt that among his own profession, at all events, many gentlemen had winced a little at the ad ventures of Mr. Briefless.—(Much laughter.) The only object they had in view was to expose folly and vice; and he contended that although in the present instance the strict limits of the law might have been exceeded, yet that the injury, under the circumstances, must have been of the most trifling description, and was amply compen satsd by the amount that had been paid into court. With regard to the two latter counts, he contended that the caricature did not apply to the plaintiff, but to the other man Barnett; and with regard to the apology, be sub mitted that although written in the humorous style ap propriate to Punch, yet that it was truly and really an apology, and that upon neither of these counts was the plaintiff entitled to damages. Mr. B iron Pantos having summed up the case, the jury, after deliberating some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—D images 10!., in addition to the a paid into Court. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.) THE BURGLARY AT UCKFIELD. William Brooks, 30, labourer, John Smith, 25, labourer, James Smith, his brother, 17, basketmaker, Thomas Morgan, 30, shoemaker, William Hillyer, 25, labourer, and Joseph Carter, 24, labourer, were indicted for bur glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Swan Farncornb, and stealing bank -notes, plate, and other property, of the value of 300!., and Elizabeth Oliver was charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the stolen articles, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Johnson conducted the prosecution. None of the prisoners were defended by counsel. Mr. Jouesoen in opening the case to the jury, said it was one which had attracted a good deal of atten tion, not only in this county, but in the kingdom, on account of the circumstances connected with it, and the daring character of the offence. It was a most painful thing to see, as would be made clearly to appear by the evidence, a desperate gang of per sons banded together to commit the most desperate crimes, and who, he was afraid, would not even have stopped at the shedding of blood, if they had met with any opposition to their proceedings. The case would also exhibit a system of organization among the parties, a knowledge of the face of the country, and the habits of persons living in lonely positions, and a rapidity of com munication by the different members of the gang, which was really must surprising and alarming. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to narrate the facts of the case, and the following evidence was adduced:— James Hamilton, who was brought from the gaol in custody, said—l lived at Christmas last upon Woking cemmon, in Surrey. I knew all the prisoners at that time except Carter. Just before Christmas Hillyer was at my house, and he went away to a place called Shot ter's Mill, in Surrey, to fetch Morgan, and I expected a man named Jobb Isaacs to come to my house from Reading. Hillyer and Morgan did not come back as was ap,reod, but Isaacs did come, and on the Monday after Cnristmes-day we two started to go to Eden bridge, where we expected to meet some other men. We were to meet at a house near that town, which was about 30 miles from Woking. Daring the night we fell in with James and John Smith, near 13etchworth, and they agreed to accompany us on the errand we were go ing. We did not find either Brooks or Carter at the town, but soon afterwards I saw Brooks, and he took us into a back lane, were we found Morgan and Hillyer. Elizabeth Oliver was also there, and she bud a child with her. We remained in the town till the middle of the day. This was the 31st of December. While I was in the barn I SELNY two pistols, one large and the other smell. Th e y were both loaded with powder and pieces of lead, which were made flat by the teeth. It was then arranged thet some of the party should go that night and rob a house in the neighbourhood, and Morgan. Hillyer, Carter, John Smith, and Isaacs went away for that purpose. We went away from that place eight or nine miles, and the others were to meet us at a house that night, but they did Lot come. The next morning we found the five men who had gone away in a wood, sitting round a tire, and I saw a pl um ca k e an d a b o t t l e o f wine, and Brooks said they had broken open a public house at Oid Pie corner. He also said that there was another robbery to be done that night, and we were all to meet at Crowborough Forest, about three or We . did all meet again in the four o'clock tha t da y . forest, and we then all prepared masks, and it was stated that at night we were to go and rob a lady's house. Morgan worn a red mask. Hillyer's was black, and the other men all had on white masks. When all the pre parations had been made Isaacs, Carter, and myself,were s ent to look about i f the p lac e was clear. Miss Fern comb's house is about eight miles from the forest, and was lighted up when we got there, and it was arranged that when we saw all the lights out we were to go back and join the other men. We did so, and we all got to the house again between two and three o'clock in the morning. We went into a little di tc h b y t h e s id e o f th e p l an tation, and there we took off our coats, waistcoats, and shoes, and p ut on our masks, a n d J ames Smith went a little way along the road to see if all was quiet. When I got up to the house I found that the others had forced open the dairy window, and NYO then all went into the kitchen, and where some of the men put on coats that they found there. I put on a, coat and a woman's white apron, and Carter and Brooks each put on a female's bonnet, which they found there. We all li:d our masks on. There were two pairs of stairs leading to the u pp er apartments. Issues, Brooks, John Smit h, and me went up one of the stair cases, and the other p risoners went up the second one. We immediately burst into one of the bed -rooms, and I saw two ladies. I only saw one first, but afterwards I saw two. We had all bludgeons in our hands. I don't know which of the party had the pi stols. John Smith gave me a candle to hold, and he,. peen ordered one of the ladies to give h im the keys of the dra wers t h a t were in the room, saying a t the same time, t h at ho was come after money, and m oney ho would h ave. The lady then handed him her keys, and he went to the drawers, some he unlocked, s ome he burst open, and I saw him ta ke up a pocket-heels with a good many notes iu it. The lady told him that the pocket-book contained bank notes, and it was all the money she had in the house. The prisoner Isaacs then asked for her watch, and the pointed to the side of the room, and said it was there, and Isaacs said it was not, ani who told him if it was not, some of his companions mast have taken it. Isaecs then gave me the pocket book, and he asked the lady where the silver plate was. She replied that it was in th e pantry, and I was then left to guard the room while the others went down to get the plate. I soon afterwards heard another r oom burst open, and a lady screamed out, Oh d ear , o h dear; is that you William? I called out, e y es, ma ' am, it is William; there ie nothing u se matter." The moment I said this Carter presented a pi -tot at me, and was about to fire, when I made my 's e w known, and he desisted. I then beard the Itnly ssy in the room, There is 25E. end a crooked sixpet.ce." Th e o ther men then continued to rummage about the house, and I heard the lady threatened with violence if she made any noise. We then left the house, askin g with us some hams, cheese, wine, bread, and other articles of food, and also a grant quantity of p ro p ert y . We had taken a gun and cutlass from the house, but we threw them both away when we had got a short distance. We all pro ceeded to a wood, near Crowburgh Common, and about a mile from the house of a coin named Edwards, where we had hr, the woman Oliver and her child, an d we di v...ied the booty in the wool. Before vie did this, Isaacs, ute:tnown to the other:', asken`me to give him the notes, and ise ensuld net for them, and I g i v e me half what h e gave hint all of tlean except one, . 4 Nell I kept back for myt,Af. Tire plate was al l locked erica It consisted of forks and spoous, and it was all put into a basket, and I iunderstood was ti? b e Wall to Loudon to be tv)ld. We Miss Susan Farncornb taid—On the 2d January I occupied Woodland House at Uckfield, with my three sisters. I retired to rest about ten o'clock at night on the let of January, and occupied a room by myself. I had bran to sleep, and about three in the morning I heard a breaking noise, and almost at the seine moment three men rushed into my room, and one of them' came up to me and said, " Your money or your life," and ho at the same time added that if I screamed or rang the bell I should be instantly dead. The men all had masks on. They brought a light with them. I held out my purse, and one of the men took it, and said that was right. It contained four sovereigns, some half sovereigns, and some silver. One of the men had a white coat on, but I cannot identify any of the pri soners. While this was going on in my room I heard my sister Mary scream. She was ill at the time. I begged to be allowed to go to my sister's room, but the man who was at the door at first refused to permit me, but at last I ventured to get past him, and went to her room. I found some more moo there, and heard them asking her for her money or her life, and I saw her give them a pocket-bock containing several 51. and one 101. Lewes notes. I also saw her give theta some trinkets and rings. One of the rings was a_ very valuable dia mond one. It was worth seventy guineas. The witness then identified some articles of jewellery found in the possession of the prisoners when troty were taken into custody. Miss Emily Farncomb said—l occupied another ro with my sister Charlotte. Our bed-room door was suddenly forced ope❑ and five teen with masks on came in, and I saw a pistol in the baud of one cf them. I cannot identify any of the prisoners. I gave the men my dressing•case. It contained 201. in gold and notes of the Lewes Bank. Thomas Wood said—l was butler to the Misses Farneomb at the time of the robbery. About half past nine o'clock on the night of the Ist of January I secured the house and fastened the outer gates, and I went to bed about half-past ten. I occupied a room at the hack of the house. I was awoke by some one trying to open the door. I challenged them but received no answer, and instantly afterwards the door was burst in and five men entered the room. I had jumped out of bed to get my gun, when one of the rota struck me on the shoulder with a pistol and ordered me to get into bed again. It was a large horse pistol that he struck me with. I got into bed as they ordered me, and one of the men then demanded my watch and money, and I gave them to him. They then demanded my keys. The prisoner Aster is the man who did so. He had a woman's bonnet on, but I recognise him by his voice, and I am sure he is the man. He was left as a guard over me, and I should think he was under my observation for an hour and a half. While he was so engaged, he talked to me, and said he had known me from a child, and I was no stranger to him. I also re cognise the prisoner Morgan as one of the men. He had a red mask on, but I recognise him by his voice. I am satisfied he is one of the men, but I cannot identify any of the others. One of the men was a great deal taller than any of the others. I have not seen him sines. They took up a writing-desk, and were about to break it ()Pen, when I said th - ey had no oceation to ClOthat,a; I had given them the key, and they replied that they did not want my keys; they had a different way of doing businei.s. Some of the men then left my room, and I heard another door burst open, and one of the ladies screamed. The prisoner Carter was standing guard over me at the time, and I hogged him to go and see that his companions did not hurt the ladies. Shortly after this one of the mot came back, and he and Carter pulled me out of bed, and ordered me to go and show them where the plato was. I asked permission to put my shoes on, and Carter made use of a vulgar expression, and said that ho did not wear any shoes, and he did not see why I should. I then accompanied them down stairs, and heard the rattle of plate in the pantry, and I saw some men taking the plate out of a drawer, and put ting it into an apron. 'I was then taken up again to my bedroom, and in about half an hour I heard the men leave the house, and as soon as I was able I proceeded to Uclifield to obtain assistance. - - The witness was then shown a variety of articles, con sisting of clothing and other property, taken from the premises, all of which ho identified as.having been stolen on the night in question. A great number of witnesses were then called in order to confirm the evidence of the accomplice, end the evi dence as regarded most of the prisoners appeared to be of a very conclusive character. It was shown that they were all in company at the time in question, and they were traced in different parts of the county, going in the direction of the house of the prosecutrix, and it also appeared that the portions of the stolen property which had been produced and identified, were found in their poss?ssion. It also appeared that when the woman Oliver was taken into custody fifteen sovereigns wore found concealed upon her person. Mr. Murton, the superiaterident of the Tunbridge-wells police, and Mr. Hollington, the chief officer of Guildford, who were the officers employed in the case, appeared to have been most zealous in getting up the case, and iu procuring the necessary evidence. The prisoners, when they were called upon for their defence, merely abused the accomplice, and said that they were innocent of the charge. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury, without nny hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, and MS LORDSHIP sentenced the men to be transported for life, and the woman for fourteen years. 'When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner Carter exclaimed that ho would murkier the first men he came across when he got abroad; and llillyer Laid it was a very good thing ho was now to be transported, for he ought to have been transported long to fore. NOR THERM CIR CUI T.—York, March 11. CIVIL SIDE —(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) DICKENSJN V. STEPHENSON. Mr. HALL stated that this W s s an action for the t,t auction of the plaintiff's daughter, to which the defer. dant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS stated the ea:,e for the pink. tiff, and called, Bethin Dickenson, who said she was the daughter of James Dickenson, a collier, at Halton, three miles from Leeds, and was 21 years old. She had always lived with her father and mother, and helped in the house hold affiirs. Stevenson was a farmer and joiner at Helton, and a man of property. She first became ac quainted with him when they went with en old woman to the Union Workhouse at Carlton, in November, 1849. Mr. Green, the overseer, had suggested that defendaut should take her in his tax cart; but the defendant got a close cab. Witness and the old woman rode inside, and the defendant on the outside, with the cabman. They got the old woman there, and left her, and when they name hack, the defendant got in the inside. After goieg three or four miles, they stopped at the Wheatsheaf to bait. They then got into the cab to start again, and he pulled up the window shutter, and began to teke liberties with her, and he finally effected his purpose. She hud a child in August last. The defendant is the father—she never in her life had to do with any man but him. She is the eldest of her father's family. De fendant is married, and has seven children. Several witnesses having given this witness a good character, Mr. WATSON (Mr. Hugh Hill with him) addressed the jury for the defendant. He commented 01k what he called the extreme improbability of the case, and said he would call witnesses. Mr. Sergeant WILKINs having addressed the jury in reply to the defendant's case, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL summed up, and The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 501. CROWN COURT. Charles Darby, 27, and Alfred Boardman, 17, were charged with stealing a gelding, the property of Alexander Parker, ou the 21at of December last, at Heeley, near Sheffield. It seemed that o❑ the previous day a servant of the prosecutor's bad placed the pony in a field of bis master's, and on going next morning to the field he missed it. In consequence of information, he afterwards went to Mot train, and in a field there he saw his master's pony; he came hack to Heeley, and again started to Hyde, in Cheshire, where he rigain saw it. Another witness deposed that on the morning spoken of he met the two prisoners, each on a horse close by Mottrani; the witness asked if the horses were ou sale, the last waggon there was a break van, in which the prisoner was when the twenty waggons went up. These were left in a aiding at Bank Top, and the ngine W4i dispatched to fetch 'up fourtee=n other waggons, previously lift at the Milford Junction. On descending the incline this second time, the prisoner would not take the break van, although it Was his duty to have done so. When this part of the train was being drawn up, the coupling-chain, between the seventh and eighth carriage from the end, broke, and those carriages becoming detached, wenttlown the incline at a velocity of nearly 20 miles an hour. At this time the guard was riding on the engine, contrary to the orders by which lie ought to nave been guided. When the detached carriages ar rived at the Milford Junction, they ran into a passenger train; which was, unfortunately, standing there. The 3 smashed, and turned over the engine of the passenger train, and the &cowed, who was acting as engineer of the passenoar-train. was thrown off, and the eng i ne f a lli ng • upon him, be was killed on the spot. Mr. MATIIEWS argued that this was merely an acci dent, and that it the guard had been riding on the last carriage, which was laden with timber, he would not have been • safe, and that having appended the usual red light at the end of the last carriage, and having taken all usual precautions, it swell be bard, indeed, if the jury should construe that which, after all, was but ar. untortunate accident, into a case of manshughter. The rails wet a excessively greasy that night, and it .was doubtful whether, in any event, had the break been put on, it would have stopp d the train, though it would have checked its speed very greatly The jury, after a short retirement, acvitted the pri soner, but, in doing so, expre: sed a strong feeling of regret that more care had not been taken, when the train was at the Milford-station, to see that the coupling chains were properly and safely adjusted. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE "Ntorviliva 2:APEES OH ' TH7II HAT. TIMES —To hold ttiee is one thing, to goveri the c.tuntry is another. (Mice is the immediate gift of the Crown, sod Governor ns is as immediately the k tift of the Legislature. The two fuectiens are aiii.frised to be united in a Cabinet. When the Queen's Ministers the other day presented themselves to Parliament with the arstify ing intelligence that, in consequence of the Duke of Wellington's judicious advice, they had received a fresh expression of her Majesty's confidence, one part of their authority might be said to be complete. But, it was a part which had never been withdrawn, or even touched, and the other part, viz., their Parliamentary sanction unfortunately had been damaged and has not yet been repaired. 'There has been no expression of confidence on the part of the Legislature corresponding to that on the part of the Crown. The House of Com mons has not sent for the Commander-in-Chief. It has had recourse to nobody. It has neither taken counsel, nor subjected its difficulties to any searching and com prehensive deliberation. It really has done nothing ex cept hearing what was to be said with some degree of curiosity, as much perhaps as the public in general felt on the subject, but with no anxiety to arrive at a practical con clusion. Up to Tuesday night it might be fairly asked whether the House of Commons had taken back Lord John Russell or not, On Monday the tripping way in which the Naval Estimates ran through to the ninth vote, with scarcely even anything to call for a division, looked like even an excess of Parliamentary confidence. But, on Tuesday there cline the old test—a motion by an independent Reformer, and at once it was evident that Lord John Russell could neither restrain his more impetuous supporters, nor muster his more quiet ones. His wild elephants and his tame ones are equally un manageable. Half his usual supporters are pursuing their own hobbies, and the remaining half don't care to stop them. The reins of Government are at the mercy of any one bold enough to grasp them. It was Locke King the other day; Lord Duncan on Tuesday; and, in a few days, as likely as not, it will be any one who chooses to propose any amendment on any Budget Sir Charles Wood may happen to select. Such a crisis can hardly fail to encourage private enterprise, as many a youngster who would have been rolled in the dust had he ventured to come across the path of a powerful Mi nister may now snatch a triumph with very little trouble. The wonder is that there are not more aspi rants for ephemeral and perhaps permanent distinction. Before stich facts as the divisions we have lately witnessed in the Commons, mere speculations on the causes of this portentous downfall are of very little im portance. A man suddenly reduced from affluence to proverty is seldom 'very anxious to retrace the history of his ruin. But a glance at the past may help us to the future. The present Cabinet never had what the French call an absolute majority. So long as Peel lived and had followers, they supported Lord John Russell against the Protectionists, who supported his Lordship on their part against Sir Robert Peel. The various sections of independent Reformers also gave his Lordship a sup port in the infancy of his Administration, while its overthrow would probably have involved their own banishment to the Opposition, which they no longer feel to be necessary for self-preservation. They may now be too secure, but they do not seem to think any great principle at stake in the maintenance of the Russell Administration. Thus, that general disrup tion, or rather destruction of parties, which has left the Whigs the only body at all competent to power is itself one source of their difficulties. If the Pro tectionists, " Peelites " and Reformers aro severally too few to be formidable rivals, they are themselves re leased from their former apprehensions, and have thereby lost their chief inducement to a strenuous support of the Whig Premier. Why should they trouble themselves about him?—they say. Why needlessly compromise themselves by supporting a man who is too liberal for one party, and too conservative for the other? In fact, Lord John ban attained the safe but inglorious dignity of a juste milieu Minister, and though that position is less scandalous in this country than in France, it brings to Lord John the usual allowance of newton opposition, common indifference, and precarious support. When the past and the present both prove that the real malady of the Cabinet is the want of a party, it is evident that if anything is to be done it must be the formation of a party. That Lord John should find himself destitute in this important respect is by no means surprising when we remember how much industry, talent, and good fortune have usually been required for it. The cry of Parliamentary Reform, or the reac tion from an old Tory policy, or " the Church its danger," or the demand for cheap bread, or some other watchword, sustained with great labour out of doors, as well as in the walls of Parliament and in the registration courts, aro some of the means by which majorities have been gradually created end organized. Some strong feeling or some great utility is required for the purpose. Once in power, the strongest majority will dwindle away, unless it be kept up by the excitement of a bold policy, by a constant succession of striking measures, by some common terror, and last, but not least, by a judicious use of the patrons ;e et the disposal of Government. Even if Lord John had possessed an absolute majority of hie own, we question whether be has done his utmost to cherish it; but as he never had such a majority, and has only held his place by neutralizing other forces, his want of industry and tact as a leader have told with still more serious effect. The party has all along been weak, and has been gradually dissolving. But what is to be done? A party must be made. This operation is of course a branch of State craft, and can not easily be prescribed; but it will not be accomplished by seeming to sit still, by being a visible obstruction in the way of improve meat, by resigning great measures to other hands, by laying down no general line of policy, and leaving the public wholly in the dark, except so far as is wanted for the explanations of the measures in hand. But, besides the higher duties of statesmanship, there is ono matter of busiuess, without which they are all useless. A party in the British House of Commons must be collected man by man, and express promises of general support must be secured, to gather such ten in sight into private opinions as may guide the Minister in his treatment of minor questions. Now, we do not be lieve that has been done with moderate care in the pre sent instance. It must be done now, if a party is to be organized, and the present Cabinet is to reconquer its position. But, whatever the past omissions and present duties of Government, the general body of Lord John's supporters share the blame of its position. They , know not to what wails they expose their principles and the State by the capricious nnoer tainty of their Parliamentary support. Of course, 1 they have opinions of their own, but they were not re turned to Parliament just to vote for their own hobbies and leave everything else alone. Nearly all are pledged up to the throat to support Lord John Russell, and no creditable reason can be given why that p l e d g e is not more diligently observed. After a lapse of tour yearswae pledge possibly loses its virtue in some minds, b ut suspect that the weakness of the pledge is e y generally owing rather to the years that remain than to th that have lapsed. The immediate prospect of a gen eras e le c tion would soon wake up I side of the House.

HER ALD.—Wo rejoice that an interval is suffered to take place between Lord Stanley's honourable and chivalric announcement of his policy, and th e assumpt i on of power to which his Lordship is destined to be called by the unanimous voic of the people. The country and the Minister will both be gainers by the short delay. The former will have time to weigh the en lightened policy of a statesmen actuated by national and patriotic motives: the latter is enabled to mature the plans suggested in the 'neat of an unexpected crisis, and to adapt his principles to the varying necessities of a mixed commut,ity. A fail period of reflection triune. to lead to a better un d erstand i ng.

Lord Stanley tics L'.o mental reservations, and we accept his manifesto in its most obvious arid literal signification. Had he taken upon himself the duties which the present ocrupants aI office " are so singularly unable to fulfil, his. Lordship would have resolutely defended the rights of the Queen and the laws of the country against the present Popish aggression, and token itnnsediete steps to establish for the future the lawful relations of a foreign •eriest eith the declared subjects of th e Th rone o f Engancl ' i Without infringing upon the rights of conscience, without at tempting in the least degrea to stand between the Romanist and his spiritual adviser, without de manding the smallest sacrifice of the perfect tolera tion accorded'to every creed and ste; in the empire, Lord Stanley would have stopped short or tome, ing Popery at the sacrifice of the country's °Lei ithed insti tutions, and of damaging the gletieui priecipl,s in virtue of which his Queen sits upon the throne, tcd England owes its strength and greamt is. Asa Pro testant Minister of a Protestant Sovereign, Lord Stan ley would not have been ashamed to do his duty. H e would nut have purchased popularity by patroeisir g tko creed he is simply bound to to;erate ; neither would ho have furnished arms to Rome, in order tbar ItAng mi g ht strike a deadly blow at spiii.ual liberty upon timao shores.. Lord Stanley, unlike his former Peelite es:e el:4es, does not yet regard the Reformation as a gr,at calamity, or separation from Rome as a national sin. Paseyism would, therefore, not flourish under his Ad ministration ; nor would confessionals be seen at Lau beth ; nor intolerant bishops, refusing communion with tolerant archbishops, be in favour ; nor priests. de nouncing the Queen's supremacy, be deemed fit objects for promotion. Whatever may be the country's expec tations from Lord Stanley in other respects, it may rely upon his fidelity to Protestant principle, without fear of disappointment. Lard John nu:sell, it is true, denounced loudly enough Treat:aim' practices and Popish insolence in his Novgmber letter but the ebullition of feeling was not worth the ink in which it was discharged. The community, painfully alive to the fact, looks in vain to the successors of the man chiefly valued as the Minister' upon whose pliant principles it could in all emergencies unhesits tingly fall back; but if Popery is safe with the Whig Minister, Puseyism is in clover with the Peelite sespi rants. Protestantism, rejected by both in its hoar of de sertion and danger, seeks refuge with Lord Stanley. And if his Lordship deserves praise for his unshaken fidelity to the Throne, is he so utterly unworthy of cotfid€nce as his enemies would have us believe, because he proftasfs extreme anxiety to heal the clivi,ior.s and to u,ia , gwte t te hurdshipa that afflict u k orethmone . porti.4o oftl.-Fcal:l Nobody dObbis that the law , of 1816 learful - weight upon the agricultural cl,vses.

Whst is if that the fa ture Paine Minister cf Englacd proposes on haalf of a smitten interest, whose trials Qxtort: the sympathy of ,very class? What scheme fur putting an end to (ii.cord and complaint could be more mockrete and intehigent than that which he propounded? We a. e bold to Fa y that had Lord Stanley proceeded to the country the very . . . . morning after be had delivered his lucid stiternent in the House of Lords, he would have found his ct,mmer cial policy endorsed by nearly every intelligent constitu ency in the United Kingdom. Men have ceased to be cajoled by abstract theories, and are not unrsilling to settle still-vexed questions in the spirit of conciliation and compromise. If it be true, as it is easy to prove, that the laws of 1846 have prevented an extensive sec tion of the community from earning a livelihood by any expenditure of money, time, and trouble, there exists nowhere but in the veriest strongholds of faction a deter- ruination to withhold such legijation as may once more liberate the industrious limbs which it was never intended to bind or cripple. What honest and well-intentioned citizen seeks to establish in the land a war of classes, general prosperity with fearful exceptions to the rule, abiding discontent, deity increasing dis loyalty, and never-ending agitation ? 'lave Free trade Leagues and Protectionist Associations become normal institutions of the country, and is there never to ba an end of that system of attack and defence which, to the great scandal of the country, and to the great injury of all calm legislation, has usurpf.d the functions of Parliament, and made intimidation, falsehood, and exaggeration instruments of public action far more potent then facts and figures, argument and logic? We are needy of repose, and crave for a speedy se;tlement of differences. Lord Stanley would have placed tranquillity within our macs, and put an end at once to injurious dispute. Without contesting the wis dom of established laws, ho would have demanded the adaptation of an existing policy to the present iiciegeo cies of men. His would have been the task to heal the wounds inflicted upon society by she sudden, indiscrimi nate, and wholesale legislation of 1E46; and to 'Conclude that the community at large would not have helped to consummate the happy work is to exhibit ignorance in deed of the sublime cearaoter of a nation, not without its share of fault and weakness, but remarkable, above all things, for its love of honesty and its match lets sense of justice. Nor would Lord Stanley's method of pro ceeding have proved less acceptable to the country be cause it involved, amongst its other consequences, the immediate removal of a tax the most iniquitous ever de vised to fleet patient industry and to rob poverty of the first results of its prudence. Against the renewal of the income-tax in its present form, and with a view to its complete and speedy abolition, Lord Stanley would have directed his first financial efforts. His Lordship has long been known to entertain a virtuous antipathy against a mode of levying taxation which the country tolerated at first only as a temporary expedient, and which its author tecomesencled at a time of difficulty to meet a special emergency. It would be idle to point out to a community suffering at all points from the grinding operation of the income-tax, the nature of the grievance against which they so loudly complain, and from whose pressure it would have been the first object of Lord Stanley's Government to relieve them; but it. is quite to the purpose to remind them, that the very ear liest intimation that came to the country from any public man of the urgent necessity of relieving it from the insupportable tax in question proceeded from the lips of a nobleman whose anxiety for the well-being of agriculturists is equalled only by his earnest desire to support in the empire, without tear or favour, thein dustrial interests of all. The divisiQu that took piece on Tuesday last with reference to Lord Duncan's motion, presenting as it does one more instance to the many already afforded of the utter impossibility of pro tracting the present state of things beyond a fro , weeks longer, renders the late manifesto of Lord Stanley an object again of national regard, and the future move ments of his Lord,hip matter of general solicitude. The time is fat approaching when an appeal to the country jvill be inevitable. A stable Government is required, 'End the will of the people needs once more to Le un equivocally (xpre!sed. The latter once emphatically uttered, the former will not long be wanting. We have no fear in committing the language of the Conservative chief to the thoughtful consideration of the muses. It is time to secure the foundations of the national faith and to unite conflicting interests—to reconcile all classes to the law, and to turn the attention of Parliament from the warfare of parties to the vast reforms in the social condition of the masses which crave the harmonious action and the perfect repose of legislators. We cannot advance an inch in social ameliorations until ill-blood is stopped. Lord Stanley thews how we may staunch the wounds of no unimportant member of the State with perfect justice to the rest of the body politic. SUSPECTED MURDER 42 BRIXTON NEAR PLYMOUTH. The village of Brixton, about three miles from Ply mouth, on the Tams-road, has just been the scene, it is feared, of a very extraordinary murder. Oa Friday eacrming last, a young man, named John Bunker, aged about nineteen, a farm•servant to Mr. Rowe, of fisiweil-farm, in the parish of Brixton, felt the farm yard, with a curt and two . horses, for the purpose of going to a lime-kiln for a load of lime - but shortly afterwards his body was found in ar t orchard belonging to his master, quite dead, hang ing by a halter to an apple-tree . It appears that the attention of a man who was going to his work, when two or three fi elds from the orchard, was attracte d by the cries v.s of some one in great fear or pai r, and that, following the direction of the cries, which by and-by ceased altogether, the man cams to the orchard, and after a brief search found the body of Bunker as described. Thu appearance of the body seduced the be ltet that a severe stiuggle had taken place . befo . re the poor fellow was suspended to the tree, itad it is said that there were some spots of blood on his dross. It was known that young Mr. Rowe enterta in ed feelings (1 hostility towards the deceased, !arising, it was stated , out of the latter having bee n . witness to an occurr ence which the former did not mph should become k nown' and to procure silence on which it is further sa id t h at he had given Bunker a sovereign; at all eventa, It is y known that th e deceased had pro p agated a & ter to this effect, and that in consequence, about a week ' Rowe had gone to the magistrate's clerk a. y ri p l i ii r m '„ lll „,„ r* with the view of taking proceedings ag ainst • fantation of character, and had induce d that gen tleman . him for de before A.
