Among so many revelations of horror and so many causes of heart-burning--while the circumstances of bloodshed connected with the duel between M.BEAU VALLON and M. DI:JARRIER, and those of the fatal rencontre between Lieutenant MuNew and Colonel FAWCETT are being simultaneously revived in the Criminal Courts of London and Paris—while the imagination is revolted at the details of brutality elicited day after day in the witness-box of the Old Bailey, or appalled by the intelligence of the murder of the daughter of Marshal SEBASTIANI, in a bed chamber of her own hotel at the French metropolis— while we are stunned in one direction by the broils and recriminations of the electioneering antagonists, and in another filled with abhorrence by the disclosures of many infamous occurrences—it is pleasant to con sider the generous and ennobling sentiments just uttered by Sir ROBERT PEEL to the more reflective portion of his Tamworth constituents. After the more barren topics of political controversy and party contention, it is agreeable to examine the speech de livered by the ex-Prime Minister upon the possible extension of happiness among our fellow-creatures by the further diffusion of the knowledge of Christianity. In the abstract, there is nothing for which we have imbibed a greater loathing than those meetings of mock-phil ant h rop i sts, in which there is a pretence of benevolence can, a pret ence on l y. The counterfeits of can, however, he very readily detected. They can be detected as eas i ly as though the proposition were to send a suppl y of pocket handkerchiefs to the Ashantees, instead of disseminating the a n d i gnorant fellow- Scrip tures among our more indigent countrymen. For ourselves we would as lief follow the Godly example of DANIEL QUILP, by frequenting Little Bethel, or emulate TONY WELLER, by attending the Brick-lane Branch of the Ebenezer Temperance As sociation, as we would think of becoming subscribers at the vast majority of the meetings convened for the distribution of books and brochures for the regenera tion of the poorer classes. And our repugnance arises principally from a conviction that there is a great deal more of relig ion in a pound of good beef, or a bask e t o f sound potatoes—when the quest i on is the aid of the humbler members of the commu nity—than in a stereotyped tract or a sermon printed upon vellum. Sir ROBERT is, however,is a privileged support e r of Bible associati ons .

In stead of distinguishing himself as " Good Sir ROBERT, the poor man's friend," by becoming a genteel purveyor of homilies to the million, he h as contented himself with such obscurer labours as that of destroying a system whereby the more opulent divisions of society were protected, and the more indigent were burdened with the incubus of indirect taxation. Hence it is that Sir ROBERT PEEL is a sort of privileged advocate for the more intellectual and spiritual kinds of benevolence; hence it is that his name is in itself a ouarantee for the integrity o f t h e motives of such descriptions of typo graphical philanthropy, Those wh o have been l Right Hon.

THE STIN, LONDON, _FRIDAY .VENN Gr, AUGUST 20, 184: 1 those memorable words of CHILLINGWORTH— CALVIN, or" By the religion of Protesta n t s I do not un -1 derstand the doctrines of L ETHER, or MELANcTnoN, nor the Confession of Augsburg or Geneva, nor the catechism of Heidelberg, nor the I articles of the Church of England ; no, nor the harmony of Protestant confessions; hut that wherein ' they all agree, and which they all subscribe with a greater harmony, as a perfect rule of their faith and actions—that is the Bible—the Bible ; I say the Bible alone is the religion of Protestants." Surely after that no qualms of conscience can justify any converted Protectionists from procrastinating the evi dence:of their political allegiance to the ex-Premier Ithrough fear of his unholy sympathy with the doctrines of Popery ! Maynooth grants are surely nothing to the purpose ; nor good-natured hints about the obli iteration of the penal laws against the Catholics ; nor equally good-natured demands for the extension of the blessings of national education to the spiritual lieges of Pope Pius IX.; no, nor even Oxford votes for a dubious religionist like the Right Hon. W. E. GLAD STONE. PEEL-and-Popery forms a very pretty piece of malignant alliteration, but henceforth it is vapid and inapplicable. The Catholics must stand by themselves : they are no longer strengthened by the imaginary connivance of the ex-Premier. The Pro tectionists can still solace themselves for the loss of one pet alliteration by another still remaining in their vocabulary. Sir RALPH THE ROVER, who, according to the poet, " tore his hair, and cursed himself in his despair," was decidedly not a better theme for those fond of a little melodramatic extravagance than Sir ROBERT THE RENEGADE. The Right lion. Baronet inculcates one principle in the course of his speech, which even Protectionists and Free -traders must coincide in admiring— namely, the principle of universal tolerance. Sir ROBERT aspires to see the time when religionists shall fnr Ec .t their feuds and breathe nothing but a spirit of brotherly affection for each other. The aspiration is almost too dazzling to be real ; but in our day the abolition of the corn-laws was an ignis fatuus. An important reform is seldom achieved in any matter until some case of extreme hardship has taken place. It may be manifest that there is some thing defective in the system, something radically wrong, and urgently requiring an alteration, but until the public mind is thoroughly aroused by some of its practical results, no efficient steps will be taken for its amendment. The horrible cat, the abominable practice of corporal punishment, was not less re pulsive or disgusting before poor WHITE became its victim at Hounslow, but it was his shocking fate that awakened the sympathies of the people, and occasioned that universal demand, temperately but firmly expressed, for justice to our gallant soldiers, and the total abolition of so degrading a punishment —a demand that pr ove d irr es i s tibl e in,its mighty force, I and led in a few short weeks to those beneficial and happy results for which philanthropists had in vain struggled during a series of years. It has been said, " that hard cases form bad precedents," but such is not the fact. It is by their means that questions are stripped of the fallacies with which they had been clothed and exposed in their naked iniquity. They furnish the best illustration of the lengths to which any point may be carried, and afford an unanswerable argument to the reformers, who desire that similar enormities should never again be perpetrated under the sanction and toleration of the law. The question of imprisonment for debt has for some time past attracted the attention of those desi rous of improving our national code. The questions of how far it can be dispensed with—and what checks (if any) should be interposed before the power is given to the creditor of incarcerating the person of his debtor, and subjecting him to the demoralization and injury of being removed from his ordinary oc cupations, and associated with the inmates of a prison —of being deprived of earning a subsistence for himself and family, when, perhaps, his default has been wholly occasioned by misfortune, and there has been no misconduct fairly ascribable to him—hare been long and warmly debated. Some well-disposed men assert that it is absolutely required for the main , tenance of~ Creir cliamercial transactions that such a power should be retained, and that in every instance the creditor should be authorised to seize upon, and detain in custody, the person of his debtor, until satisfaction is made either by payment of the debt or an appeal to the Insolvent Courts; while others maintain that no imprisonment should be sanctioned until there had been a hearing before some competent tribunal, and the debtor had failed to satisfy the presiding judge that his default was owing to a want of means, and that he was willing to do everything within his power to discharge his just liabilities. The latter principle has recently been introduced with respect to debts under 201. The result is said to be very beneficial, and it is believed that its exten sion to demands of every degree of magnitude would be exceedingly desirable. By the present system, where the claim exceeds 201., the debtor can be punished, and perhaps his entire prospects in life de stroyed, before any inquiry has taken place ; by the other, he should at least be heard, and hare an oppor tunity of explaining his conduct, and submitting any proposition for the satisfaction of his creditors before the sentence of imprisonment could be carried into execution. This is apparently more equitable and some of our most distinguished legislators have advocated its adoption. Perhaps the former system might be useful if creditors were never influenced by vindictive feelings, but, unfortunately, we find daily in stances of oppression, where, although there is no reasonable prospect of their position being improved, or their claim liquidated thereby, all the engines and contrivances of the law are put in force, and the original loss greatly increased, merely in order to gratify a feeling of vengeance. A case has just been stated in a letter to a Con temporary, bearing the initials of a well-known philanthropist, and which having been extracted from the report of the Commissioners of Lunacy, may be fully credited, and it is hard to conceive a stronger illustration of the recklessness with which the law is put into operation by some creditors—a recklessness that would appear to require the interposition of some effective checks between the parties. A naval officer had for twenty years past been suffering under an aberration of intellect in addition to a total loss of sight. He was quite blind, and an incurable lunatic. He had, during that period been sheltered at the liaslar lunatic asylum, and ls. 6d. per diem of the half -pay to which he was entitled as a recompense for services rendered to his country previous to his affliction was devoted to his maintenance, the re,idue 33. 6d. per diem being paid to his wife for her own support and that of his family, who, with the exception of drawing so much fro,n his limited means, appeared to have totally aban doned him to his fate—th 3 wife havin 4 only once called to see him, and one of his sons having also paid a single visit to his suffering parent during his twenty years' confinement. The wife, however, contracted a debt to a person who at the time was ignorant even of the existence of her husband. When pressing for his demand, he was informed of the fact, and of the state and condition of the unfor- tunate gentleman, who, in the eye of the law, was his debtor. It would seem clear, under such circumstances, that he would incur no further expense, that he would not think of forcing the blind lunatic from the asylum, where he was carefully attended to, and allowed all the humble comforts suitable for his unhappy situation • but such was not the cue An attorne was found to issue a wr i t, and proceed to y jgment and final execution, and the wretche u dr o -i n ctim d ud of the debtor-and at creditor law was seized p debtors' prison in th e month of Deccoetnmsbigerneldast last, o t hisn hum h humane creditor bei ng we ll aware although t, and legally, he was not morally r espons i ble for tbed b that there was no fund for the pay ment of 'his demand, and believing that the lunatic would. be discharged by the Insolvent Commissioner in the month of April. It is almost impossible to conceive by what -motives or feelings the creditor was influenced to ad, ipt such a course, but the facts speak for themselves, and ren der every comment wholly superfluous. It only re mains to ask whether the Legislature wil/, continue to power whick, is subje c t t o sanction the existence of a such fearful abuses. A communication received from. _Rome mentions that the amnesty originally grant(...el by his:Homass has been extended to the eccles3astio And military men who were not included in it as at first published. LUCCA, AVERADI, and VIVARELLT, are the first individuals pardoned and released under this mandate of clemency. They Lave beer: ineorcerated in the prison of Corneto ever since 1836. By a letter quoted in the Augsburgh Gazette, it would seem that some Austrian regiments (among them the 4th Light Horse) quartered at Radkers burg, in Styria, have been ordered to march beyond the frontiers of Italy. The Madrid journals of the 13th inst. had not reached Paris when our dispatches left. We have received the Paris journals of Wednesday. The Constitutionnel contains a long commentary upon the circumstances and vicissitudes of the English elections, directing attention to the remarkable facts of the return of the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VIL LIERS and Mr. COBDEN as the representative knights of two important and populous counties. It concludes by observing that England has declared itself empha tically for liberal principles, and that if any one of the actual Ministers (such as Mr. MACAULAY) have been anywhere rejected, it has only been from the voters giving their suffrages to candidates of a more daring liberality, but that in no part have they been ousted by the Protectionists. Speaking of the course of events in Rome, the National observes that Pius IX. still continues to dismiss the high functionaries who are presumed to have been implicated in the recent conspiracies, and that at last an open rupture has shown itself be tween his HOLINESS and the Jesuits. " They have," it says, " according to custom, asked the Holy Father to join them in celebrating the fete of Saint IGNATIUS : this invitation he has refused. What ! Saint IGNATIUS, the patron of VALENTINE and MAILLARD, the first of the saints whose names are inscribed upon the calendar of the Universe, has received such an injury as this from Pius IX.!" Re ferring to a semi-official notice or contradiction, pub lished in the Moniteur Parisien, of the charge made by the National against the Minister of War, relative to an entry of 15,000 francs in the books of a bank rupt contractor of Algiers, the latter paper says— "We do not know who has found the magical means of unsealing the lips of General Trezel ; but, be it who it may, the Minister has spoken. The Moniteur Parisien says—' Neither the Minister nor the Governor-General ad interim has any knowledge of the tact relative to the sum of 15,000 francs.' But, as the course of explanation bas been entered upon, may we be permitted to ask why a delay of a fortnight was taken to reply to us ? It would have been so easy to say on the 3d of August—' We do not know what you are talking about.' But no—no thing was said until the 18th. Did M. Trezel require the halt' of a month to know whether he had or had not received a report ? An hour would have sufficed. What was taking place in the interval ? The notice of yes terday evening had been prepared and submitted to the Minister by the bureaux, but it was not published. At a later period M. Trezel, overcome by the solici- tations of his emplo3es, and not wishing to allow to hang over their heads a suspicion of their probity, gave his consent. What are we to conclude from all this? Something very simple. Yes, it is possible that the bu reaux may have been ignorant of the report; we even admit that M. Bedu, whose name is singularly enough brought up in this affair, may be in the same position. But is this ignorance on the part of the Minister, or any one else, a serious one? We doubt it. If we are asked why we doubt it we shall content ourselves with com paring the date of our question with that of the Minis terial answer, and, interrogating in our turn, we beg all honest persons to tell us what degree of confidence is to be placed in so tardy a denial, when nothing could have been more simple than to have replied to us imme diately?" The following protest of Cardinal CIACCIII against certain obnoxious measures adopted by the Austrian Governor of the fortress of Ferrara, is published in the Journal des Daats:— "Ferrara, Aug. 6. "In consequence of an accident which occurred to Captain Jankowich of the regiment of the Archduke Francis Charles, and of the orders of his Excellency, the Deputy-Marshal, Count Anesperg, commander in the name of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria of the citadel and the Imperial troops, Austrian patrols having traversed the streets of the town, I proclaim such a fact to be completely illegal, contrary to the stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna, and to long existing usages. " In my quality of representative of the Sovereignty of the Holy See, as Apostolical Legato and Governor of this city and province, wishing to preserve entire and sacred the rights of the Holy See, I solemnly protest against the illegality of the above mentioned fact, and against any other fact of the same nature that may im pair those rights and the rights of the pontificial sub jects confidqd to my admini s t ra ti on an d guar di ansh i p. " I record this protest in order to fulfil the chit.s of my station, and for the sake of the representative autho rity delegated to me, waiting the sovereign resolutions to which I have referred. The event which occurred to Captain Jankowich is anything but proved, and, were it proved, it would not justify the Austrian troops in tra versing, like masters, the entire town. As respects the terms of the dispatch addressed to me on the subject by his Excellency the Deputy Marshal, and which I Kill communicate to my Government, I protest anew against all acts calculated to infringe the rights of the aposto heal Holy See, which it is my d e t erm i na ti on at a ll t i mes to maintain and to cause to be respected. (Signed)" LUIGI CIACCIII (Cardinal), Signed with hi s E xce ll ency— Apostolical Legate. " FLAMMINIO BOTTONI, lawyer (witness) j_ "FRANCESCO MA R I A C ARLETTI, Doctor of Law(witness); "ELISEU MONTI, Doctor of Law (notary) ; summoned to attest the above act." This emphatic protest has, it would seem, been formally communicated to the foreign Ministers at the Eternal City by Cardinal FERRETTI. Although there is much of a political character to occupy public attention just now, the principal por tion of the interest of our Parisian Contemporaries was absorbed on Wednesday in the horrible and melancholy occurrence brought to light by the dawn of that morning. We allude to the murder of the Duchess DE PRASI.IN (daughter of Marshal SEBAS TIANI) in a bedchamber at her town residence. Particulars of this deplorable event are published elsewhere in our columns. We transcribe with pleasure the subjoined obser vations from the National, upon the progress of poli tical opinions in England, as shown by the recent elec tions :—" The last English elections," says our Con temporary, " appear to us the first Parliamentary ex pression of the transformation which British society has undergone. That expression is still confused, obscure, and embarrassed. It becomes clear by the events which preceded it, and will become still more intelligible from what is to follow. One incontest able fact announces the consequences, which is the ' number and the quality of the Radicals who I have been chosen. One Deputy only of that opinion has fallen on the field of battle, that I is Mr. ROEBUCK. That loss is largely com pensated ; and amongst those whose names bear a marked signification for firmness, we shall mention FEARGUS O'CONNOR, one of the Chartist chiefs, Colonel THOMPSON, and the eloquent Mr. Fox, whose oratory is in itself a host. It appears to us important to signalize the bearing of the electcsral movement in England, such, at least, as it app, mrs to us. Nothing demonstrates more clearly the in clination of public opinion, and the current of fa ,cts, than this example, borrowed by a country where aristocratic principles are most strongly organi:o2d, where their tradition is the most revered and their power best acknowledged. Well, there likewise the aristocracy yields—it sees its influence weak( stied and its old authority rejected ; it recruits men, but can find no ideas. Its servants abandon it ; the chiefs which remain faithful adopt a language un known to its ancestors. Lord GEORGE BENT TNCK himself has become tolerant, and Sir ROBERT . PEEL leads the phalanx of the League. Can any pi rty count upon the immovability of the ContinE tin presence of what is being accomplished in Eng hind ? And we may judge what the effect of a few pos. is will be to arrest the progress of French ideas at home whilst they are progressing through the rem aiinder of the world ? Vanity of old men, who specul ate on the fatigue and the pity of a nation !"

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday continued dull, and prices were easier. Sales about 4,000 bales, including 3,000 bales American, at 61d. to per lb, There was a slight improvement in Railway Shares, but with very little doing. The accounts by the Royal Mail steamer have not been very favourably construed. The Jamaica papers and those from all the islands to the north bear the BIM) character—all represent the price of provisions as excessive, and the foreign supply as'very deficient, whilst the season was nowhere affording sufficient rain to enable the planter to make an effort to raise those articles which would promptly come into consumption. The sugar the produce of the canes, which the peasantry had been induced to cultivate, was every where a complete drug, the universal scarcity of ship ping preventing the nerchants from purchasing at any price, and the accounts of the home market having paralyzed all speculation. In Grenada the Cclonial Treasury was in a very ex hausted state, and there was great need of some early means to raise the productiveness of the taxes. The Coolies were in a miserable plight in most of the colonies, and it seems probable that immigration from India will cease. 'nese people are not at all calculated for West Indian planting operations. Shipping was very scarce in the West Indies, and a quantity of produce was lying on the wharfs for ship ment. The planters complained also of the scarcity of money. There is no feature in the grain trade to-day, busi ness continuing dull.

MARKET NEWS-(THISDAY.) CORN .EXCHAS7GE.-FRIDAY A. Very' .M( rote s lippy of English Wheat, chiefly the present year's growth, has come to hand here this week. Still, however, owing to the large importations from abroad, and the low prices at which American flour is selling, the demand was in a very sluggish state, at, in some few instances, a slight decline in the quotations. There was a very large quantity of Foreign Wheat on offer. Selected qualities were mostly disposed of at full prices, but all other kinds were is per quarter lower. The Barley trade was in a very sluggish state. Foreign grinding parcels were somewhat cheaper than on Mon day. In Malt next to nothing was doing, and large parcels might have been purchased on easier terms. The Oat trade was excessively dull, at a fall in value of is Tier quarter. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, as well as Flour, were a mere drug. English • • • • • • Wheat. 1,710 qrs. ARRIVALS. I Barley. 70 qrs. Oats.

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with Beasts as to number, and exceedingly deficient as to quality. On the whole, the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at but little, if any, alteration in prices. There were on sale 329 Beasts, 2,570 Sheep and Lambs, and 290 Calves from Holland and Germany, as also 120 Scots from Scotland. The supply of Sheep was by no means good, while the Mutton trade was firm, at fully Monday's currencies, and at which a good clearance was effected. Prime Down Lambs moved off steadily; otherwise the Lamb trade was heavy, at late rates. Owing to the large supply of Calves, the Veal trade was dull, and late figures were with difficulty supported. In Pigs, next to nothing was doing. Mitch Cows were heavy, at from 161 to 191 each, including their Small Calf. Irish. ........ I - Foreign .... •• 22,470 Per Nlns. to sink the offal. s. d. to e. d.

The cases to-day were not of the slightest interest, being on bills of exchange, and undefended. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE ONION. This insolvent, who was described as an artist, in Loughborough Park-terrace, Brixton, attended on a summons to be examined as to property alleged to have come into his possession since his having obtained his final order. Mr. PEARSON appeared as counsel for a creditor, and examined the insolvent, who obtained his final order in 1843. It appeared that, under his father's will, he was entitled to the reversionary interest in the sum of nearly 2,0001. He alleged, however, that he transferred his interest to his mother, in 1841, in consideration of 1001. money cdvanced at the time, and a previous debt of 3001. No deeds, however, had been executed, and on the death of his mother, in 1846, it appeared that she had left that and other property to the wife of the insolvent for her sole and separate use, and the insolvent was appointed trustee and executor under the will. He, however, received the dividends from time to time, and applied them for the purposes of his family, never taking any receipts from his wife, and ultimately drew out the whole of the money, and bought two lease hold houses in Brixton. The leases were granted to him not as a trustee. He said he believed all the parties who knew anything about the advances by his mother were dead, and he had no papers connected with his mother's estate, as his solicitor was dead, and his widow kept the papers as a security for law charges. His HoNotin said that the insolvent answered in such an unsatisfactory manner, that unless he answered more distinctly he would commit him. He could not remem ber what occurred when the final order was granted, but he found a memorandum that the insolvent should come up every six months to give an account of his property and abide by the order of the court. The insolvent's statement was highly impro bable, and the case was one of the worst which had come before the court. Not a word was stated in the schedule as to the insolvent's interest in the property. The insolvent was further examined as to other pro perty which had not been inserted in the schedule. His HONOUR ultimately said that, unless the insolvent adduced proof of the assignment of his reversionary in terest, the final order would be rescinded, and if it was proved to have been made, as there was no trade assignee, the official assignee would, on being indemni fied, try the validity of the transaction—there could be no doubt there had been a juggle. The case was then adjourned. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. EMBEZZLING COFFEE WARRANTS.—A respectable looking man, named Thomas Smith, described as an agent, was indicted for stealing on the 4th of June, seven warrants fur the delivery of 57 bags of coffee, value 901., the property of Mr. Thomas J3uckthorne, coffee-dealer, of Nos. 1 and 2, .Mincing-lane. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parry for the prisoner. Mr. Henry Oliiver, the prosecutor's clerk, deposed that the prisoner had dealt with his employer for twelve months, and that he was at the present momert indebted to him in the sum of 270/. for coffee and other articles. The prisoner applied to him for the warrants in question on the 4th of June, which had reference to sonte coffee which had been unshipped from the Morning Star, but he at first declined to let him have them, as he had them some time before and was perfectly acquainted with the quality of the coffee, and besides he could famish him with samples. He said ho wanted the warrants to en able a person at Newcastle, who he thought would pur chase the coffee, and who was a very particular person, to inspect the coffee. Oa this representation he handed the prisoner the warrants on his promising to return them within an hour. He did not return them, and on the following morning he received a note from him saying that he had expected to have paid the prosecutor that morning 270/., adding that if he would call at the Bank of England on the following Wednes day, he wouldireceive that amount, as he would pay it into the Bank through the Newcastle Bank. Be added that he had sold the coffee, that he should pay for it on Thursday, and requested that the invoices might be sent to him at the post-office, Newcastle, and hoped the pro secutor would not charge more than 345. fur the coffee, as the transaction would be a cash one. A second note was received intimating that he should settle his account in the course of the week. Cross-examined—The prisoner was not the agent of his employer; he merely dealt with him ; he gave him credit. Before this transaction he had purchased coffee to the value of 1,0001. This coffee was et an inftrior quality, but it was good; it was offered to him at Us., which was below its value. The last transaction took place a fortnight before. Did not tell him it he did not return the warrants within an hour that he should ex• pect him to purchase the coffee. If he had brought back the money in his hand he did not think he should have taken it unless he had also produced the warrants. Was not award that an application T w as ma d e to the prisoner ' s office in St. Swithin s-lane before the note was received from him. Having a high opinion of the prisoner at that time they did not send for the warrants, as they thought he might have been detained. Mr. Buckthorns said, when the prisoner asked for the warrants he said, " Why, Smith, you had them before." He then went out, leaving the prisoner Elt his courting- Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. house. Shortly after he met him, and finding that iolliver had given him the warrants, he asked him to . turn them as he returned from the docks. He rephe that hr would most assuredly do so. Mr. Charles Bunyan, a grocer in Shoreditch, had ltnown the prisoner a year and a half. O n the 4th him June the prisoner called upon him andsoke to about the warrants, saying that he should have th o . e e coffee to which they referred much cheaper than `celled price he had named on a previous occasion. He c al e He said he Wf . i . i? upon him again the next morning. much in want of money, and asked him to lend him 5 01 . on the warrants, on the promise of redeeming them in 5 few dam when he had sold the coffee, as hoe to do, to a person at Newcastle, and that if be did not they should be forfeited. He advanced him 51, and Mr. Heraud, a neighbour, advanced 451. Mr. Heraud c o rr o b or ated the evidence of the lo t witness. He said a person could sample as ioug asbe had the numbe r o f th e svarrant : it was not necessary 10 produce it on all occasions. 251 b of Ortiii, a police-constable, j stated that on the June last he took the p r i s o ne r into custody at Ev4n-r, d o or, Hotel, Covent-garden. He knocked at a bed - r oom he it was opened by the prisoner, and on seizing 111 1 , 0 pulled out a pistol from his coat-pocket , Whi : c i he wrested from him.
