(Concluded from our Fourth Page.) diately ordered the detachment, who were all mounted, to dash into the mill-yard, and the rebels were dispersed. In this attack (I understood from information afterwards received) there were two of them killed anti one wounded. Upon this occasion I have to notice that Ensign Reanie, with a small advanced detachment, was extremely active, and throughout the whole duty which the regiment had to perform, I was ably supported by this officer. Upon my arrival at quarters, I found the company of the Saint James's regiment had arrived under the command of Captain Ewart, at about five o'clock. At about seven o'clock the rebels advanced upon us in four columns. The first body moved upon the trash-houses, to one of which they set fire, and became engaged with Captain Ewurt's company and picquet-guard of the western interior under Ensign Gibbes. The officers and men behaved in the most gallant manner, and shortly dispersed the enemy. This division, from the statement of Captain Ewart, consisted of about forty men. The three other divisions attacked the main body of the NV. I regiment, who had been formed into solid square, and kept up a considerable firing of musketry upon them. The regiment reserved their fire until the rebels had advanced within thirty or forty yards, when they commenced a very rapid fire, which continued for about twetity minutes when the enemy dispersed in all directions. One body of the enemy, who attacked by the main road, could not have consisted of less than two hundred men ; the num bers in the other divisions I could not judge of, as they were covered by a stone wall fence and the Hill-house, but both divisions appeared to have many tire-arms. Where all behaved with so much gallantry, it would be invidious to name any indi vidual, at the same time I cannot omit mentioning that Mr. Rhodes Evans, 'a gentleman resident in the W. I. district, and who had volunteered his services, distinguished himself, and I am under great obligations for his able assistance. I must also state that I was much indebted to Captain Balme for his judici ous suggestions to me during and after the engagement. I re gret to add, that in this encounter, we had one man killed and ti.ur wounded, and Major King's and Scrjeant Sewell's hats were shot through, but they received no injury. I could not learn the exact number of the rebels killed and wounded, but 1 understood afterwards that they admitted they had lost ten men killed and twenty-five wounded. The company of the Saint James's regi ment, together with the W. 1., lay under,arms the remainder of the night. On the 30th I ordered one of the companies of the Westmore land regiment to move up to Montpelier ; but as I could place no dependence on their doing so, from the correspondence which I had with the officer commanding the detachment, and as the company of the Saint James's regiment most positively refused to remain at the post, and being in want of both ammunition and provision, I called a meeting of the officers, and they were unanimously of opinion that I could not maintain the Twist and I therefore retreated with th e w h o l e b ody to Montego Bay: The information received by the company from St. James's was, that an overwhelming body of negroes was collecting in every guar ter around us, and I also received similar information. my arrival at Montego Bay, I was ordered by Colonel Lawson to de tach a company to Catherine-hall estate, and the remainder of the regiment remained for the night at Upton, and without any thing to eat. On the 31st, 1 was ordered by Colonel Lawson to move the whole of my force to support a detachment of the St. James's regiment, at Fairfield estate, and I did so (with the exception of a few men left to guard the baggage) but found no detachment ' there, and 1 therefore placed the regiment at Catherine-hall estate, where it now remains, excepting one company, sent to Fairfield by your orders. You will observe, by the correspondence between the officers Of the Westmoreland regiment and myself, what sort of support I could expect from them. I have also to add that the men have been most wretchedly supplied with provisions, and little or no assistance has been rendered to them. In fact, in one case, where a cart had been engaged to carry up supplies to Montpelier, it was appropriated to carrying those for a division of the St. James's regiment at Latium. Our arms are generally very inefficient, and seventy stand, which had been purchased for the use of the W. I. regiment, have been otherwise appropriated. I have also to notice that I have not had time to cast a sufficient number of balls and to make cartridges (the usual musket-ball and cartridge not suiting the rifle-pieces), and several of the men have only the suit of clothes on their backs, and which they have now worn four or the days, their servants having been intercepted by the negroes in attemptingfo carry their'clothes to the guard,' and a few of the officers are nearly - in the same situation. The cartridge paper, which I lately received from the stores, is so very bad that it cannot be used; and I must, therefore, re. quest an order from you on Colonel , Lawson, to supply me with I have, &c. half a ream. (Signed) W. S. GRIGNON, CoL West Int. Regt. No. 24. MarcThioneal, January 3, 183°. illy Loar,—As a Magistrate of this district, t feel it my duty to Make • known to your Lordship the state of insubordination amounting, I may almost say,. to rebellion, under which the slave population labour. I yesterday morning heard that my own people, as well as those of foiir adjacenk estates , l ea d refusesl to go to their work. I it,ed every persuasion, but with p o effect ;—every hour since informs 'us of Similar delinqu ency tin the' past of tither estates ; and from the - manner in whic h the insubordination first c h ews itself, there can be no doubt but that it is organised upon a system. To protect this district, fourteen miles In length y and containing a popiilatibn or '.ineb tiiousand slaVes, we have only one company of militia for our protection, whose utmost force I may estimate at forty. We have sent to Port Antonio for military assistance, but I fear the s imilar insubordination existin g there, will prevent the possibility of an y assistance coming fromthat quarter. I will venture to sugg est that a nu , n-of-war of a small class, with a detachment of t r o op s on board, it speedily sent round, may possibly restore tranquillity. The harbour is bad, but still is frequented by merchantmen ; at any rate, the man-of_war may be in communication with the vessel stationed at Port Antonio, I have just heard imme thg that a numateber ncigfof disaffeictood e d negrinen woo met last evening in diibourl No. 25.—(Copy.) Montego Bay, Jan. 3, 1832, Mid-day. MY Loan,--The burnings are executed from signals on the heights by moveable parties of negroes, not belonging to the properties they set on fire, but the negroes on those properties must be in the conspiracy, and co-operators when these men arrive, otherwise they have the means of preventing their effect ing their purpose. The whole of the men shot yesterday stated they had been told by white people for a long time past they were to be free at Christmas, and that their freedom order had actually come out from England, but was withheld ; that they had only to strike work en masse, and they should gain their ob ject. That the whole of the estates in Trelawny and St. James had agreed so to do; that if they were attempted to be forced to turn out to work, they were then to fire the properties, but not the canes or the provision grounds, or their own huts; that this would make the proprietors come to their terms. The above is corroborated by the testimony of several others now under trial and in prison. The men brought by the Blanche landed yester day evening, and I was enabled to send out four parties with officers immediately to Fairfield, Belmont, St. Cathenne's Mount, and across the river to Maroon Town. The incendiaries set on fire Belvidere, as Captain Smith's 9.'2d was moving up. He immediately moved upon them, routed them in every direction, and killed about fifteen men. But the fire could not be extinguished. These posts continue occupied, nor is there a man to be seen of the negroes, as I am just re torned from thence. But the woods are so thick in the neigh bourhood, and the paths by which they retire impassable for any quick movement of British to overtake them. Accounts from Colonel Hilton, at Rio Bueno, state as yet they are quiet. but he is under apprehension of the estates of Lancaster, Harmony-hall, Biddeford, Bengal, and Dornock. He has his regiment at Rio Bueno, ISO men. 1 have desired him to protect, as far as lie can, these estates, which he will be enabled to do, if others do not break out. Accounts from Fal month are satisfactory. and Lucia district as yet is quiet. The communication with 'Maroon town is now closed, as the rascals from these environs have assembled there. To-morrow morning I shall open the communication. Straggling parties of insur gents had got upon the Lucia road, and fired upon the dispatch troopers. I have opened this morning that road, but the fellows were seen and fled immediately into the woods, on seeing our troops ; therefore, as they may return when the patroles are away, and as it is impossible, except by dislodging them bodily, to ensure safety on the roads, I shall make, as soon as I possibly can, a forward movement altogether, leaving with the navy merely sufficient men to protect Montego-Bay. Combustibles were found in a house here belonging to the wife of one of the men shot yesterday, and no doubt exists she intended to fire it. She, with the incendiaries caught in the fact, are now trying. The other prisoners, who amount to more than one hundred, I have put at the disposal of the custos, whose opinion is, in which I coincide, that those not actively im plicated as incendiaries, with the women, had better be dis missed in the interior, with some copies of the paper issued here. (A copy of which I sent your Excellency yesterday.) The Com modore, who is most zealously active in wishing to co-operate in every way with me, has permitted nearly one hundred and fifty sailors and marines to land every evening, and be placed as picquets on the roads leading from the town, and the fort is under their charge. This is to me of the greatest assistance. Further than this, he has by row-boats protected the bay and shores. The Blossom is at Savannah-la-Mar, and has afforded assistance by marines and others to the town.— If from any further accounts your Lordship may reeeive that that part of the country is still threatened, I would beg you would order Colonel M'Leod to send one hundred men from Kingston and its neighbourhood, if you are all quiet there. But recollect the importance of Fort Augustus, and the environs of Kingston and Spanish Town, and I am sure you will agree with me that it is absolutely requisite to have a large force disposable there, should symptoms spew themselves there. I have, &c. WILLOUGHBY S. COTTON. Major. u eneral Commanding. (Signed) The Earl of Belmore. The general court-martial have condemned two other negroes, and the woman to be hung.

I have written to Colonel Hilton to call upon the Maroons to send a force to Belfont, and to cut Off the insurgents from passing the Great River, and to offer three hundred dollars for their bringing in any of the chiefs of the in surrection : they are known to General Robertson.

SIR,--1 have received your despatch, announcing the decla ration of martial law, as soon as it came to hand, being Sunday afternoon, the Ist instant ; I caused proclamation to be made accordingly, and the rules and articles of war to be read to the militia under arms. The Major-General will inform his Excellency respecting the military operations. The militia to a man are zealous and loyal, no praise can be too high for their courage and conduct. Yesterday Bellefield estate was destroyed, being within three miles of the town; an officer and twelve men were stationed there, but were driven off by numbers. A detachment of the on the next estate (Fairfield) marched upon the rebels, but too late to save the buildings; however they killed twelve of them, and must have wounded many. The Ramble (the great house of Bellefield, and on the hill above it) was burnt at the same time. It is supposed that a hundred plantations and settlements are already in ashes. If the rebellion spreads, our force is quite in sufficient to put it down ; all depends on the moral effects of the employment of the King's troops. Sir Willoughby has put forth a proclamation offering a pardon to all but principals and chiefs; I have some hopes that, backed by an imposing force, and the many losses the rebels have already suffered, this measure will cause amongst them differences and suspicions of each other, if it answers no other purpose. As yet the insurgents have exhibited the most wretched cowardice. Captain George Gordon has done much mischief from his post at Latium ; he has destroyed the negro_houses of many properties, when the negroes had first destroyed the works. Five rebels have been tried by court.martial and shot; a woman, also condemned was spared. I think she should be hanged. I learn from Major Campbell that, assisted by a party of the 29. d, he has held out at Schawearth. He states many negroes are fleeing into the woods where they must soon starve.

Jlr LORD,—I have the honour to acknowledge your Excel. lency's despatches, with inclosures, of the ad (yesterday), and feel gratified that the measures I have taken have met your Lordship's approbation. lam no advocate for severe measures, if they can possibly be avoided ; but where example is necessary the sooner it is made the more effect it will have ; and these in famous wretches have not only set the properties on fire, but their cruelty in various instances has been excessive, besides being at this moment in rebellion. I am happy, Ey Mord, to give you satisfactory accounts from hence. The measures adopted, together with the proclamation issued' has had the most extraordinary effect; I have this after noon received accounts from Pitfour and Latium, stating the negroes where coming in fast, and the road to Maroon itowc is open. The ateacks made yesterday, ane the number they have lost in various affairs, which I find Is more considera ble than I imagined, has spreod a panic amongst them that hat cleared them from this neighbourhood, and I think the move. mint to-morrow will stop any further depredations hereabouts. I have closed Colonel Hilton upon Falmouth, and begged Gene ras Cox to send three companies to Rio Bueno; Colonel Clinton will occupy, Oil further orders, Duncans, Cambridge, and Mountain Spring; my great object will be to get them between ; my columns. I have begged the Commodore (who has acceded directly) to let a sloop of war moor immediately to the the mouth of Great River, and land a party of marines and sailors to occupy the post of Roundhill, from which Colonel Campbell will move at four t,, morrow morning. The road is perfectly open, but it is requi site to insure its continuance, and also come against any scoundrels that may lurk about some properties that still remain.

I issued a warrant against five of the negroes whom he considered as the ringleaders, with orders to send up the constables with a company of militia to have it executed, the great error of these magistrates was the preventing the militia accompanying the con stables who I was certain could not execute the warrant without any assistance, and which I told them the moment I came down to Falmouth, and that they had taken great responsibility upon themselves in disobeying my orders; my fears provad cor rect, and the delinquents escaped. I am sorry the letter they wrote is at Fontabelle, but I consider it my duty to mention their names, viz., Mr. Lamont, Mr. Dyer, and Mr. George Miller, as I wish minutely to acquaint his Excellency with every circum. stance that comes to my knowledge. I must beg leave to state that I highly disapprove of the conduct of Mr. Moulton Barrett; it has been stated to Inc that he was seen riding out of town with a Mr Box, who I had ordered to be takeu into custody as one of the incentlary aireachers , under some pretence he was per mitted to quit the Court-house, and by that means made his escape, supposed to Kingston, where, I hope, he will be taken into custrxiy.

I have to inform you, that Mr. Box has been arrested ; and although your letter does not state the charge pre ferred against him, his Excellency c,,osiders it quite suffi cient to cause him to be detained until he may hear further from you ; you will therefore lose no time in transmitting to me such information as you may have obtained when, if the charges preferred appear sufficient, he will be conveyed to Falmouth to abide his trial. The lamentable crisis which which has now arrived renders example necessory, however abhorrent it must be to resort to it ; and if it should appear that Englishmen, men of sense and edu cation, have been wicked enough to excite the slaves to rebel lion, it cannot be supposed that they shall escape because they are also ministers of religion. But his Excellency directs me to impress strongly on your mind the great discretion which in such a case should be adapted to endeavour, by every means in your power, to divest tribunrls from all feeling of prejudice, and above all of prejudice on grounds of religion, for in civil commotion the evil is never so great as when it assumes an appearanbe of reli gious war.

The roads to Lucia, Maroon town, and all round this town, are clear, and many proprietors and attorneys are now proceeding to visit their estates. All the ladles and other women who had embarked on board vessels in the harbour, before I reached this place, are now disembarking and resuming their domestic avocations. I hope in a few days I shall be able to have negroes bringing provisions and supplying this place again, but st will require time before confidence can be restored; the fact is, the negroes in this district have behaved infamously, nor is there the slightest palliation for their conduct. I have most minutely inquired into the treatment generally and parti. cularly, and ham aver it has been most kind, That the overseers, ' or attorneys, or magistrates, should not have acquained the Ex ecutive Government the extent to which the determination of the negroes had gone all around this district, not to work after New-Year's-day, without being made free," is most astonishing, as it would appear to have been known on almost all the estates, that these were the sentiments of the negroes. I have adjourned the general court-martial at this place for the present, and have cleared the gaol as far as possible. Since commencing this dispatch I have received accounts of the negroes at Retirement, and two other properties having come in bodily.

Lord ALTHORP moved that the House do resolve itself into a Committee on the Reform Bill. Mr. CROKER protested against the House proceeding further in the work of disfranchisement, upon informa tion which was avowedly erroneous. .. _ . Lord J. RUSSELL would reconsider the case of each borough, and if it should appear that any one had been improperly included in the schedule, justice should be done to it on the bringing up of the report. Mr. CROKER did not abject to irregularities arising out of the general application of the same principle. He only complained that some boroughs were treated in one way, and others in another. The end of all was, that Ministers had chosen a blind guide in their search after a new Constitution. After a few words from Mr. C. PELitasr, the House re solved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the B;11; Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN put the question, that " Appleby, in Westmoreland, stand part of schedule A." Lord MAITLAND urged that Appleby ought to be taken out of schedule A and placed in schedule B. The information originally obtained respecting Appleby was erroneous in many particulars. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that in the case of Appleby there was no known boundary to the borough. The Commissioners, therefore, had ascertained where the bur gage tenements were situated, and had drawn a line round them, which constituted the limits of the borough. Pre cisely the same course had been pursued in similar cases. Mr. POLLOCK thought that the case of Appleby wag hardly yet ripe for decision ; but certainly the effect of all the evidence at present before the House was to show that it ought to be placed in schedule B. It should be recol lected that Appleby was a county. If any town more than another required that justice should be done to it, it was a county town. One of the reports upon the table stated that the town had increased considerably beyond its original boundaries. The people of Appleby had pre sented a petition, in which they stated that they were pre pared to show that the entirety of Appleby ought to b.- included, and not that part of it merely in which the bur gage houses were situated. The Hon. and Learned Mem her here went into a variety of antiquarian and local de tails with respect to the boundary of the borough in sup. port of his argument; and stated that the Mayor of Appleby was prepared to prove that his jurisdiction ex tended beyond the boundary on which the present Bill proceeded.—(Hear. ) Lord JOHN RUSSELL was certain that no part of the limits of the borough had been excluded—whether the. burgage tenants or those of the town. With respect to the other arguments of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, he was quite willing that the Committee should decide one way or the other as regarded Appleby and Petersfield. Mr. W. BROUGHAM contended that the boundary road was only the limit of the barony, and not of the bo rough, and referred to the terminal stones and landmarks of Appleby in support of his position. Mr. CROKER, after dwelling at some length on the localities of the borough of Appleby, adverted to the ex elusion of the Bondgate, by Ministers, in rating its pre tensions to electoral qualification. He stated that thi, gate, which was formerly the residence of the feudal " villains," under the protection of the castle, and known by the name of the Old Applegate, being four times nearer the protecting fortress than any of the other gates, was especially entitled to be included in e.titoeting the claim, of the borough to Parliamentary representation. Had th. Bondgate been included in the calculation concerning Ap pleby, that borough would not have been inserted in seta.- dela A. A small portion of insulated houses had saved Tavistock, and the Bondgate of Rippon had enfranchised Rippon ; why, therefore, should the borough under consi deration be made a special sacrifice It had been said in the course of the discussion on this borough in the last session of Parliament, that the borough of Appleby ex tended into two parishes. lion. Gentlemen on the other side of the House had taken upon themselves to, deny this. Indeed, he well recollected that one I-ion. and Learned Gentleman stated—and his statement made a great impression on the Committee—that the borough of Appleby did not extend at all into the parish of St. Mi chael—of St, Michael Bondgate ; and, as a proof of his assertion, added, that the county gaol stood in the% parish. He did not mean to find fault with that Hon, and Learned Gentleman fur hazarding that asiiartion—perhaps he had made it upon imperfect infarmation—but the Commis sioners now etateci, in their return, that the borough of Appleby was in the parish of St. Micheal Bondgate. (Cheers from the Opposition.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not believe th a t Midhuret had been revived to His breath into the body of its Hon. Proprietor.---(aAeers from the Opposition)— and, furtherniore, he did believe that there was no reason for taking it out of one schedule and for placing it in another, except the operation of the rule laid down by the Commissioners. If this were conceded to him, it got rid of the imputation whirr had been cast on this cease by the Right Hon. Member fur Aldeburgh, and which Le weir certain would never have been oaat on it by so able a debater, if he had not felt that there was really nothing in all his objections to this motion. He was not now de fending the ease of Midhurse—(Laughter from the Op- . positiora) Hon. Gentlemen might laugh, for laughter sometimes served them in lieu of argument, aod sometimes was useful in diverting their opponents from the real point which they ought to keep in view.—(Hear.) He main tained that the borou4h of Appleby could not be taken out of schedule A t . It had been said, " Why do you not add tl,oncigate to the borough, to make it of sufficient extent for schedule B. ?" He replied that it would not be made of that extent, except the whole parish of St. Michael Bondgate were added to it. But then it was said that Bondgate was part of the ancient borough of Appleby.— Now he was quite sure, that if his N on , and Learned Friend, who lied displayed so ranch mathematical skill last night, were to ex , -!t1 his legal ingenuity in address ing a Westmorilend jury upon that point, he would Lave no ehr. - ..ee of success in making them believe it, As to the straight lines of the Cinutoisainarere, they were not taken as the limits of the koroegh. We know that four lines drawn from tile four boundary stones include all the tow y ; o Appleby, and all the burgage tenures within it. The claims of the Corporation of Appleby to an exclusive jurisdiction did not go beyond those fear boundary stones. He thought thst the intervent;,:a3 of the hill and the stream between Bondgate arm tlte castle of Appleby took Bond gate out of the protection of the castle and the hatrough.— For tl.,eae reasons he thought that the Commissioners hail alone right in fixing the boundary line which they had drawn. He again repeated that he had not risen to, defend Midhurst. If there was any thing wrong in the case c f Midherst, let Midhurst be disfranehisealt at any rate, let not a wrong in 11,1idlturst he taken as a reason for defend ing; a similar wrong i Appleby.—(Hear.) Sir 0, WV.THERELL said, that after the manner is wh:ich the obsequies of the borough of Midhnrst had been performed in the last session of Parliament, amidst the ob loquy and reprobation of the Whig borougmongers, who had consigned it to the tomb with the letters " T. R." marked ripen its carcass, he did not expect to see its corpu.i, galvanieed, and one-half of it re-animated for tile benefit of • its honourable proprietor.—(Cheer s and laughter from the Opposition.) So, however, the him to inquire, why Wes ( watt'. to be sh own t o th e bo rough of Mlkct was; and that led dlautrit r tud disfavour to the borough of Appkby 2—(Cheers from the Opposition.) An Hon,. grad Learned Friend of his on the other side of the Howe ap peared to him to have gone down to Appleby by the caravan. Now he could not help saying, that after the speech which, his Hon. and Learned Friend bad delivered that night, he thought that it would have been much better had his Hon. and Learned I.riend kept himself to Southwark. His Hon- and Learned Friend had told the House that there was in Southwark a liberty called the Clink, into which 1 .- • CeilL I t y b e e t, j , u , s r a is id aie h t e i , on ,, t o b f is th li e ber M ty ag o is f t t r h at e es cl d in i k d , n w ot hi r e u h u d ; oe ' s ' a rt n 0k f12„. 0.44., 'along to Southwark, is added to it by the Reform 1141,W Ind will be gifted with the elective franchise for that tto;,, ' rough." Why this Clink liberty is the Bonclgate,4,4,' t.

Wetherell) of thec case which he wished to make said, "Oh ! but you wish to add to the hisrough of Appleby." " No"—he (Sir C. Wetherell) replied—" You wish to take from the borough of Appleby."—(Hear, hear, froth the Opposition.) We say that this Bondgate is part of the borough of Applehy by old documents, by pe , ramhulathras, bv a Parliamentary survey of the time of Henry VIII. We say that it is part of the borough far municipal purposes, and we ask why is it not a part of the borough for Parliamentary and representative pur poses ?—(Cheers from the Opposition.) It was said that imputations ought not to be cast on the Goverto. went for wishing to disfranchise this borough. replied, that a month ought to be spent upon this case—. (A laugh from the Ministerial henches)—aye, or upon any case, to avoid such imputations as must rest upon the Go vernment, if Appleby was placed in schedule A without some further explanation. Ministers ought to satisfy all sides that, in deciding upon the different borota'h. to he disfranchised, all political favouritism was avoided. and that one rule was not adopted to throw one borough into schedule A, and another rule to another borough to rescue it from the exterminating power of the same schedule.— (Cheers from the Opposition.) Lord ALTHORP promised the House that he would not speak with either the animation or the violence of the Hon. and Learned Geutlentan who had just sat down— (A laugh)—for it was a matter of no importance to him whether it was Appleby or Petersfield that was disfran chised.—(Hea,r.) He felt himself bound to vote upon the case as it appeared before him, and he would therefore shortly state the grounds of the rote which he intended to give. The facts of the case were agreed upon, he be lieved, on both sides of the House. The facts as stated by the opposite side were, that there was a perambulation in 1741, headed " Borough of Applehy," and entitled " Perambulation of the barony and borough of Appleby," and that within this perambulation the Magistrates of the borough of Appleby claimed certain rights, as to license • alehouses, and to levy tolls. On the other hand, it was stated that one point had been omitted, and that there was another record of a more ancient perambulation, said to be the perambulation of the barony of Appleby, without say ing any thing of the borough or the corporation. It ap peared from the return and the map accompanying it, that the boundary stones were properly laid down. It was also admitted that all the burgage houses were within those boundaries, and so it appeared from the information furnished by the Commissioners, who might by possibility have been mistaken, but if so, they were honestly mistaken ; but in the case of Appleby it was expressly stated by the Coto,. mis,ioners that all the burgage houses were included ;at the return. The corporation of Appleby, it was trios, had claimed a right of jurisdiction as to the arrest within the limits of the perambulation ; and also a right to certain tolls within their borough, such as tolls on goods sold and delivered therein, as also for goods passing through. But he begged to mention as an instance of immunity from toll within certain districts, that t h ere was a mill situated within Bondgate, and that on flour ground in that will no toll was payable. Another instance was also afforded in the case of the fair held on Gallows-hill, within the parish of Bondgate, but outside of the borough stone, and beyond the right of the corporation to claim toll on goods sold at that fair. For these reasons it appeared to bins that a distinct difference existed, and he would vote on the present occasion under the opinion that the precincts were defined by the boundary stones, within which the corporate jurisdiction was in every way restricted. There were un doubtedly several houses situate in Bondgate, but a great interval existed between them sail the town of Appleby, and the Commissioner had stated that interval to be a high hill, and therefore that there was no appearance of Bond gate being part of the town. The case of Appleby bad been compared with that of Midburet in which it had been ..,id partiality had been shown to his Hon. Friend the Member for that borough t but the House was aware, that he it timl iganh interest tdbt eh, therefore r :h afos i r e de H o tnh a ee n a . Gw F ao r y i v. e e nd in tha t with Government bn t yt t t borough, h e could p r,voitsi wh b,,en.cio a , af t re this ged with acting partially with respect to these two boroughs, By the Hill the right of three holes or stones in a wall P turning Members to Parliament was done way with,.,.-„ (Hear, hear.) He entertained the same opinion v;ith re spect to Midhurst as he did to Applehy, and he cared not which stood in schedule A. In the former, there existed no corporation, and there could be no distinction between one sort of jurisdiction and soother. The present question was one simply of boundary, and it was asserten that in Appleby there were two—namely, the liberty boundary, and the borough boundary ; and he thought, on the whole, that the latter was the 011 e to be considered in the present question.—( Hear.) Sir C. WETHERELL said a few words in explanation. Sir A. DALRYMPLE said it was the bounden duty of the Committee to see, that in ascertaining the boundaries, the Commissioners bad executed their task fairly, and he did not hesitate to say that in the case of Appleby this had not been done. In all cases of burgage tenure, suer as in Appleby, it was. incumbent on the House of Coininona to see that an ancient borough was not wantonly disfrati chi-e.l, The line drawn by the Commissioners in the cause of Applehy was such as he would venture to say no pro fessor woull draw. Mr. J. SMITH rose amidst loud cries of " Question," from under the aide gallery, and spoke in a low tone f voice. We understood him to say that he assured the Flonee he had no connexion with the borough he repre sented further than possessing, in common with an Hon. relitiee, the manorial rights of burgage tenure. He de nied he had any ohject in augmenting the atuount of as sessed taxes in that borough. Sir R. PEEL acquitted the Hon. Member horn any such imputation, and when be had alluded to the case of Midhurst, he had only argued that to take the amount of assessed taxes as, a qualification was manifestly unjust, and duing so he did not make the slightest reference to t e individual case of the Hon. Member who had last spoken. Putting aside all questions as to the qualifications of bo roughs, the main question was the addition of Bondgate tr the town of Appleby; and he contended that the pt o per limits of all boroughs were those which were called the boundaries of the barony, and not settled by any at, bitrary limitation. The return itself uniforruly stated, that in all cases qt burgage tenure the boundaries were extremely difficult to ascertain, but in the present instance it was shown, by a reference to the perambulation made in 1141, that the perambulation of both the barony and the borough had been made by John Robinson, Mayor, and the Aldermen, Corporation, and inhabitante of the said borough, and it was therefore manifest that Bindg.tre was identical with the barony. In the present instance, he contended, not that Bontlgate shoiild he included as past of the borough of Appleby. but that all ancient parts of a barony should in every case be included; and therefore that Appleby ohould be taken out of schedule A, and placid in sobedule B. - Mr. J. CAMPBELL said, that the question was not as to the liberties, but as to the limits, of the borough. When he saw that the Coroner held inquests, and the Magis trates granted alehouse licences, it was impossible not to say tkiAt Yhose districts where this had been done were the I Lerties of Appleby ; but, notwithstanding this, he eon. tended that these districts formed no part of the limits of that town. He felt sati,fied that the Commissioners had drawn the limits with correctness and propriety. Sir .1. SCARLETT rose amidst loud cries of " Ques tion." He had known Appleby long, and he was not aware how his 11011, and Learned Friend had obtained the fact be had jo•t mentioned with respect to the power of arrest, lc; he (Sir James Scar/ett) believed there was en record no instance of the power of arrest being exercised later than 1795, and then only within the four boundary stones.

Sir J. SCARLETT then proceeded, He was sorry in this sorry to hear gentlemen calling out Q ue stion, gneetion , ' manner.—(Here, from one side of the side galleries, a an litary voice called out ‘. Questi,m r in a rernarkolily cc alio tone, which excited a burst of laughter.) The Learn; d gentleman said lie was of opinion that if, inoead of out " Question," individuals wou:d pay atter:tioli to the d hate, they would acquit e that inform aim' in wiri•h present they appeared to be deficient.
