RICHARD COBDEN will speedilyteturn to Engl and --to England which he has liberated from the thral dom of monopoly—to England, where his eloquence and his patriotism have been so gloriously manifested la the great victory achieved over the ignorance and selfishness of generations. Since his departure from us in the first blush of his commercial triumph, our distinguished countryman has received the congratu lations of the continental and peninsular multitude, of enterprising merchants, and of enlightened princes. Unattended and untrumpetted, save by the voice of his pacific fame, this shni•le cotton Printer of England has received such an ovation during his passage throughout Europe as uncrowned bead never received 13, Great Marlborough-street. before —spontaneously.

Roman conquerors, on the shores of the Atlantic and Henry Coburn, publisher, 13, Great ‘iarlborough-street. Orders received by all Booksellers. the Mediterranean, he has been feasted and ap plauded. From the lips of King Louis PHILIPPE, of the Sovereign of the two Sicilies, of the-Monarch of Sardinia, and of POPE Pius IX., Mr. COBDEN has heard the expressions of royal approval of the prin ciples of free trade. In Bordeaux, in Paris, in Cadiz, in Madrid, in Genoa, in Naples, in Rome, in Florence, in Turin, and elsewhere, the prominent orator of the renowned League has received the felicitations of those who are most competent to pronounce an opinion upon the most rational system of exchanging the productions of nature and the fabrications of in genuity. After this triumphal journey, - after having participated in the solemn funereal ceremonies attendant upon the deceased Liberator of Ireland, RICHARD COBDEN will return homewards, we ear nestly trust with a renovated constitution. , Let us welcome our illustrious fellow-citizen in a manner befitting ourselves as men conscious of the advkntages resulting from an emancipated commerce, and in a manner due to himself as a distinguished public benefactor. An admirable opportunity is af forded just now by the announcement of the com mittee of the Cobden Testimonial that the proper time appears to have arrived for the closing of the ' contributions. With that announcement the sum &ready accumulated is declared to have reached a magnificent total of 80.4831. 13s. Bd. Considering the financial pressure which has so long cramped the operation of the money market, and materially inter fered with individual interests, we do conceive that we are justified in calling this a mag nificent expression of notional sympathy and gratitude. Previously we have recommended that the difference should, if possible, be realised, and that the fund, having already exceeded eighty thousand pounds sterling, should, by a vigorous movement on the part of the committee, and a generous co o?eration on the part of the community, be carried to the complete amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. To say that such a requisition would be unreason able were preposterous. The blessings bestowed upon the contemporary million, and upon all future gene rations, through the instrumentality of RICHARD COB DEN—through the oratorical masterpieces by which he elicited the eulogiums of the Prime Minister— and especially through the gratuitous toil by which he destroyed his domestic comforts and undermined his bodily health—are utterly incalculable. Our recommendation then is most moderate and most rational. The sum still required to complete the golden plum which we would see presented by the nation to its patriotic chieftain is surely of compara tive insignificance, namely, 19,5161. 6s. 43. Cannot this be obtained with sufficient rapidity to anticipate the closing of the Testimonial Fund ? Why, a halfpenny subscription from every enfranchised free trader would do it in a fortnight ; or a sixpence ad ditional from those who have already forwarded their donations would carry the gift to the desire:l maximum. We offer our suggestion with all earnest ness ; let there be but a quick response in copper pieces, and the hundred thousand pounds will, within three weeks, be in the possession of the committee. On the return of RICHARD COBDEN to England, therefore, the National Testimonial might be presented to him at some appropriate monster demonstration, say in the vicinity of his old successes, at the Theatre Royal Drury-lane. Banquets have been given to RICHARD COBDEN by congenial fo reigners; let us afford him a similar welcome on his restoration to us, let us gladden his heart with the sound of English cheers, and tender him a fitting estimonial for his national and patriotic services—a testimonial of The Secretary of State for the Home Department, n moving on Thursday the committal of the Prisons iiii and the Custody of Offenders Bill, explained the Ministerial policy and intentions with respect to the more serious cases of secondary punishments in a speech of singular clearness and ability, which de- Invcdly elicited the approbation of the House. For many years past the Legislature has adopted a more mitigated code fur the repression of crime. Very many cases, formerly visited with the ex treme penalty of the law, now only subject the offender to the loss of liberty, either by a prolonged term of imprisonment, or what is known to the law as transportation, whether for life or a term of years, In many of these cases the widest discretion is neces sarily entrusted to the presiding judge, who will hare it in his power either to expatriate the criminal from his native land for the re mlinder of his life, or to dismiss him with the infliction of a nominal fine, or a brief detention in cii,tmly. Capital punishment has been practically abolished, save in cases of wilful and aggravated murder ; all offences, therefore, against property; and all against the person not involving the death of the aggrieved party ; are treated as secondary crimes, and visited only with secondary punishments. It be comes, therefore, a matter of the deepest interest to the people generally, who have cordially assented to the present more humane state of the law, that the secondary punishments should be placed on a sound and wholesome footing, so as at the same time to re press crime, by creating a salutary dread of its in evitable consequences; and, secondly, to afford the most reasonable prospects for the reformation of the cul prit, and his restoration to society on some future occasion, a wiser and a better man. To the attain ment of these points, the discipline to which he shall be subjected, the place and man ner of his confinement should be directed. It is due to those who yield a prompt and ready obedience to the law, that they should be protected in the full enjoyment of their rights and privileges, that no morbid feelings of sensibility for those con victed of crimes and inisdemei.nours should encourage others to commit similar offences. It is not fur the sake of vengeance that the majesty of the law is vindiated, but that a warning an i ex ample might be held out to all. This primary object being attained, it is incumbent upon us, as a humane and Christian people, to win back our 'erring brethren from the paths of vice, to teach them their duty as members of society, to in diwe them, if possible, to earn their daily bread by the exercise of their honest industry, and to remove them from every temptation by which they may be induced to relapse into their former errors—into a state of demoralization similar to that from which they have been for a time reclaimed. The M i nisteri al plan just developed appears well cal cu'atecl to attain those great objects. It makes the convict go through a variety of probationary states, in each of which the severity is gradually relaxed, and his situation rendered more tolerable. His pro gress from one of those stages to another will be mainly dependent on himself; on the evidences he may afro' d of a healthier state of feeling, on the pro priety and rectitude of Ids conduct from the com mencement of his sentence. The separate system is held in the greatest dread by those who care little for imprisonment, so long as they are allowed to associate with others, to boast of their former exploits, o corrupt their companions, and to harden themselves [n their guilt and their depravity. The silence and seclusion that attends the separate system gives time for reflection ; the criminal, too, is removed from the ridicule with which guilty associates are too I much in the . habit of tre a ti ng an y symptoms of amendment evinced by any of their companions, and by which too often they succeed in banishing the better feelings that are struggling into existence and nipping them in the bud. On his removal from this state the prisoner will not, howeser, be imme diately cast loose; ha will enter into the second stage of punishment, in which he will be employed on public works, either in this country or in some of our colonies, where his services may be wanting. Here, also, the strictest surveillance will be kept up over his conduct. From his condition will be on the timehishultimate rhet,lveeasebNeveinll gradually depend, not Ylnltelhniot the least confined alone, hut on the quantit labour, assisted by good conduct• favourable, part of the present plan that it introducers no new machinery, that there is nothing theoretical or experimental propo,ed—it is merely a ju...A;c : .mu s arraug. , m-nt of existing materials and existing di.„ e i • pline brought into use in a regular mode of pro gression. We certainly have no great confidence in the law as l►id down under the authority of t he judges who at present preside in the Court of Queen's Bench. It is at all times invidious to draw distinctions; but since the characters of public men are, to a certain extent, public property, we would remark, that whilst we should place little reliance upon the collective wisdom of the Court in question upon any important point that might be submitted to their decision, we should be disposed to waive our impression in favour of any isolated opinion of Mr. Justice PATTESON. Still, to the Court of Queen's Bench, such as it is, all matters affecting life a::d liberty are peculiarly re ferred. A decision was given on Thursday, which, it appears to us, demands some significant observations. A person named KEINING, who had been com mitted to prison for forty days, on an order of the Commissioner for the Sheriffs' Court, for hav ing failed to pay an instalment of 21, was brought up under a writ of habeas corpus and claimed bis dis charge, inter alia, upon the ground that he ought to have been summoned and heard as to the reasons of his default before he was taken into custody. Upon this, the main point, the Judges were equally divided in opinion, Lord Dusiman and isir. Justice ERLE, on the one side, resisting, Justices PATTESON and COLE RIDGE, on the other, approving of the application. Hereupon the prisoner was remanded. Not denying it to be according to precedent that, where the judges of a superior court are balanced in their sentiments with respect to any proceeding of another court, the latter should be upheld in its deci sion, we think that, apart from the importance of the subject, where personal liberty is involved, reason demands that this practice should be discontinued. Even when the appeal is made from the opinion of a judge of equal rank to those of the appellant court, we should still support this view; for, although it might be urged that we should then have virtually three out of five judges of equal dignity agreeing in opinion, and therefore the prisoner should not be re leased, yet it is to be remembered that a question is always presumed to be more elaborately argued in a full court, that continued reflection may have fur nished new arguments, and that "in the council of the multitude there is wisdom ;" and it is not. to be presumed but that if the judge, whose original decision is excepted to, were present when it is solemnly reviewed, he might be disposed to consider it erroneous. But, be this as it may, when the opinions of the superior judges are equally divided in regard to the act of a judge of an inferior court, a fortiori we would urge that the presumption of law, in favorem libertatis, should prevail, and especially where, as between the judge of a sheriff's court and the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, the differ ence in point of experience, learning, and ability may be taken vastly to preponderate in favour of the latter. We hope the observations we have thrown out will quickly engage the attention of the judicial authorities and of the Legislature, and the more so since the principle of law is, that where a doubt exists the prisoner is entitled to the benefit; and certainly, in the case we are treating of, and for the reasons we have advanced, he should not be deprived of it. NV e are glad to perceive that steps have been already taken in the Common Pleas for impeaching the soundness ofthe respective opinions of Lord DENMAN and Mr. Jus tice ERLE in Mr. KEINING'S case. We shall, there fore, upon a future occasion, proceed to show that the prisoner was entitled, both by the spirit and letter of Bth and 9th Vic., c. 127, to the summons, as urged in his late unsuccessful application.

The Moniteur announces that the Government had received accounts from the Bourbon station, dated the 2d of January. The Belle Poule, having suf fered considerably in her masts and rigging during the hurricane of the 15th of December, was then undergoing repairs at Sainte Marie, Madagascar, and would soon be able to put to sea. The corvette Berceau bad sailed from Bourbon the day before the Belle Poule. The commander of the station hoped that she had not experienced more injury than the Belle Poule, but he nevertheless felt much uneasi ness as to her fate. The hurricane had been ex tremely violent, and the frigate Belle Poule, " hav ing no wind to fill her sails, was a long time lying on her side unable to rise." The Archimede steamer was to be dispatched in quest of the Berceau. The Marshal DE Gaoucur died on the 29th ult. 2 4p 6 7p 10 7p FOREIGN FUNDS. Brazilian Bonds, 5 per Cent Ditto, Small . Grenada.

The Courrier Francais states that the fortifications of Paris are so badly built, that they are already fall ing down. Questions are to be addressed to the Minister on this subject in the Chamber. Letters from Toulon of the 30th ult. announce that the squadron commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE had sailed from the Island of Hyeres in the direction of the coast of Africa. According to the Sentinelle de Toulon, it was to proceed to Algiers. Orders have been received at Rochefort to put on the stocks two second-class frigates, the Circe and Fiore, and to carry them up to 6 24ths in 1847. The first-named has been placed en the stocks lately oc cupied by the Inflexible, and the other will be placed on those occupied by the Renommee, which is to be launched towards the end of July. Orders have been given for the launch of the Heliopolis, a third-class vessel. The steam-frigate the Alogador, of 650- horse power, is being put-led forward with activity, and will be launched at the end of the year. The accounts of the growing crops published in the French papers continue to be most satisfactory.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. 423,200,420 The following paragraph, regarding the state of the leather trade during the past month, is from the circular of Messrs. T. I. and T. Powell : --" Tne amount of business in leather during the past month has been exceedingly limited compared with that of the same month in the pre ceding year; this, however, is not at all surprising. The high price of food is alone sufficiPnt to account for an im mense falling off in sales, as it mu.t be remembered that the great consumption of leather is by the working classes. when therefore the absolute necessaries of life arc so high that , they cannot purchase shoes, the demand for leather is neces sarily reduced. This consideration, combined with the high rate of interest, cau, , e.l chit fly by the extended calls for rail way puryses, and which restricts the mcmetary accommoda tion to the tra.sing communit7, may essily account for the diminished transactions in leather; but as there is now a r . t J: sei - , ,, o : r ti:r o a , p l r 3 , :e T a ii t : ee n , i a w y i. . ll " T 1 1 e prospect of an abundant harvest, and as trade generally is improving, we may very soon ,expect to be able to give a more cheering report."

Report states that money will be demanded for them to the amount of one two millions sterling. and great curiosity is. therefore, felt to ascertain whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer will fund, raise the interest, or get the assistance of the Bank, in ce-operation with other wealthy establishments, ' to take the new bills, and get them out gradually on the market. Most likely the payments on the loan have fur uished ample funds to meet the claims of dissentients. The author of some letters, which appeared in The Sun newspaper of the year 1843, under the signature of "lota," ' considering that our present monetary difficulties offer a seasonable opportunity again to bring forward his suggestions, and that a "Correct Moneta r y S 3 stem " is essential to a Free Trade System," rem ar k s that— " The injustice of the o e c at 3/. 17s. 101/,d, per ounce, though the, di idsye may slg: on de which require s th e Bank of England always compelled t o g i ve 4/. per ounce for it, is 3', as it reg ar d s t h e B r i t i s h public, has been shown re. my forme r l etters. All mer cantile men know how dreedfuliy they have been i~ unis engagentents at those periods when ion has been a profitabl e transai c e t d i nto; Bank the t e e t n oe t bx h p o e d i 3 r r, tc pecuniary aont wii;nhii Prop riety blame the direc tors of the Bank for having refused to supply, at those times, the usual amount of accommodation to their custo mers, seeing that a more liberal policy weuld have endan • tiered the safety of that establishment. Rather let blame be attached to that law which put it out of the power of the directors to administer the ample resources of the establish ment with a steady and uniform liberality." The illustration is given as follows : • " The panic of 1825 shows how individual selfishness may be tempted, under our present monetary system, to act pre judicially to the public welfare. But, assume the market price system of cash payments to have been in operation at dint time, and the 'milt would have been widely different. For the sake of argument, we may admit, that the extrave „rant speculations of 1824 hail taken place. and that, from he extraordinary facilities which this country then aflimisti for borrowing money, and the increased value it ct mmanded throat!, an export of the precious metals had commenced, which threatened to drain the coffers of the Bank of England. All that the directors need to have done in such t case, under the assumed syetem, would have been to offer o give or take gold, i.i its relations to British bills, after the -ame rate of value that the gold commanded abroad. Tbi , 'could at once have checked any unnatural demand, whilst any legitimate and natural demand would have been sup elied upon fair commercial terms. But the most important eart of the case would have been, that the Bank could they have safely continued to supply bank notes for all domesti • transactions of our merchants, without any danger of being called on immeeiately afterwards to give gold for them upon cheaper terms than they could buy it." 'There have been some few money sates of s'ock again to day, but as the corn ma-ket is dull, prices are kept tolerable steady.

SlR,—When the immediate pressure of any evil under which men have suffered has passed over, they are apt in some degree to forget it, and neglect consequently the necessary measures fur its rem,,val. A general elefnicm is at hand. In the nbence of political topic., of inkre4t, what subject, may I ask, cAI• be so important to a c iwtnercial community as the ques tion of the artificiAl restrictions placed upon its currency the Bill of 1844? I will not trespass on your space by entering into a 'iscussion on the qui stion. The Effects of the Bill are feelingly known throughout the country. We must decide at the next e!ection whether a mea ..iure which is conderened by all Lombard -street, and by every practical man of businet,s thrilighout the country, is to be pernAtted to remain on the statute-book ; for, assuredly, it we are apathetic, the commerce and pro :levy of the country sill be subj-ct to constant damage row the operation of a law which causes an artificial monetary famine at a time when our c,ffers are full of gold.—Your obedient servant, June 3, 1847. A COUNTRY BANKER. MEETING OF THE DEBENTURE HOLidElics OF THE LYt:EUM. THEATRE. An adjourned meeting of the debenture holders of the Lyceum was held yesterday at half past one o'clock, in the -moon of the theatre, fiir the purpose of receiving the report •if the commieee of three (Messrs Warrington. Powell, and Struct), who were appointed at the meeting held in the same place this day three weeks for the purposeot makingapplication ro the trustees for their accounts. The attendance of de benture holders was much more numerous than it was on he former occasion. Mr. Warrington having been called to the chair, Mr. STaurr proceeded to state to the debenture holders what had been done by himself and his colleagues to carry out the resolution agreed to at the last meeting. They had addressed letters to each of the trustees, and to Mr. W. A. Arnold, the mortgagee in possession of the theatre. From 11r. Hullett they had received an answer, stating that he had no accounts to exhibit, never having received funds applicable to the purposes of the trust, and for any intorma tion on the subject he reterted them to Mr. Johnson, of Uheneery-lane, who had drawn up the trust deed, and who In ad been deputed by Mr. W. Arnold to act in the affairs of the trust, to keep them (tistiuct hem his accounts as mortgagee. From Lerd Salteuit they had received an answer stating that his Lordship had never received anv monies applicable to the trust; and from Sir Andrew 'Barnard and Mr. S. J. Arnold no answer had been received. ;From Mr. Walter Arnold a letter had been received, referring to his letter to Mr. Strutt of the 16th of April, for his answer to the request. Since then, Mr. Walter Arnold had addressed a letter to the debenture holders, which letter he would wish to have read, and to some of the state ments in which he should feel it his duty to reply, (The letter, which appeared in most of the newspapers a few ,lays since, and which is dated 31st May, was then read. It denied the truth of the charges which had beta brought agatnst the writer, aye' stated that the expenses incurred would all but absorb the ideal balance which Mr. Strutt wished to make it appear he had in hand ; stated that the orivete box to which allusion had been made had been spe ,Jally reserved for Mr. W. Arnold's father, and for his use, when the theatre was let; denied that it was because ;le had been remonstrated with on the subject of letting that box that he had refused to let Messrs. Strutt and Keeley have the theatre, denied that he had ever re 'used to let them have it; but asserted, on the contras, that heir quitting was their own act—that he had refused to re- Wee their rent, and that therefore they had given notice to q'sit. The letter concluded by saying tied he should be sorry to foreclose his mortgage, but that if he were driven to the adoption of hostile proceedings, they would be conducted as vigorously as they would be commenced reluctantly. Mr. Strutt deni e d that he had made any charge tg.iinst ior. W. Arnold. All that he had done had been to take that gentlemen's own sta4e oiits, and to snow that they required explanation, And he had said before as he said now, that it was the duty of Mr. W. Arnold to be present to answer for himself.-- ( Hear, hear.) With regald to the sum charged for Insurance, the accuracy of his statement concerning which Mr. W. Arnold had denied, all he could say was, that he iftd received his ieformati , n from one of the directors of the West of England Fire-office. (After going over several of the items of account Mr. Strutt continued.) With re tard to the private box, it had been reserved for the use of Mr. Arnold's father and his friends every ight, but that did not give Mr. Arnold a right - o let it, and dep ive the lessee of twelve guineas a welk for having the best box in the theatre; it would be -ure to be let first. The Nat quis of Exeter had never let his box, and Mr. Arnold might as well sell the eight double or& rs which he had the privilege of writing every night. With regard to hie giving IA the theatre, it happen ,d in this way :—Af er he and Mr. Weley had had the theatre some time, and had retrieved its prospects, they applied for a renewal of the term, and Mr W. Arnold refused to let them have the theatre except they bound themselves to pay a rent, increasing by 200/• every two years, and to spend at:tonally a certain sum in decorating the theatre. Last year du: ing tt e warm t weather tney lost 1,600/., as nothing during such weather would attract people to the theatre. They applied to Mr. Arnold o assent to, any reductioon in the rent Coney were also paying him 2,910/. per annum), which he refused, as to forego the increa,e of 2001. a year upon the present rental, and they, knowing that at such a rent the theatre must be carried ou at a los,. had given him notice to quit. Mr. MAYHEW knew that when the private box was first g iven to Mr. Arnold it was not given with the idea that he was to let it. He knew Mr. W. Arnold to be a very honourable man, and therefore did not think he would put his threat of foreclosure into execution. Sill it was ill-advised and unwise in him to hold out such a threat to those who had come forward to assist his father in his difficulties.—(Hear.) He also thought he acted im properly in paying himself the interest on his mortgage, while, at the same time, he had neglected to pay the ground rent. This threat of foreclosure showed that the property was not so bad as it was represented to be. and it might be worth the while of the debenture holders to consider whether they should not buy up the mortgage, and thus be enabled to take tt e property under' their own management. He believed that Mr. Arnold was sore at what had been said by Mr. Strutt, but be believed that he would show the accounts to any debenture holder who was an indifferent party between them 85N ONE CLOSIN4 O'CbOCE.

Arnold to turn round upon them with a threat of foreclosure. He thought he was a very im proper person to be trusted with the management of the property, and he hoped steps would be taken to remove him. Mr. LI.V.H,EY had seen Mr. Arnold that morning, and he had stated his willingness to show the accounts to any de. benture holder who would call at his house. Mr. F, THOMPSON attended that meeting as the friend of Mr. W. Arnold. He had himself seen the vouchers for the repairs and the different items of expenditure. It was natural that he should feel sore at the charges which Mr. Strutt had made, and for which ha (Mr. Thompson) believed there was no foundation. but he was certain that he would give to the debenture holders any explanation. ar. Sun= denied that he had made any charge; but it was the duty of Mr. Arnold to come there and explain his conduct to the debenture holders. Mr. MILLAR. asked the gentleman who appeared for Mr. Arnold to explain by what right Mr. Arnold charged the 150/. a year for receiving his own money? Mr. F. Inomrsox had no explanation to give on that point._ A VOICE—Then you have not received proper instruc tion., sir. Mr. GRISSELL expl a i ne d th at M r. W alter Arnold bad pur chased the mortgage held by himself and his partner Mr. Peto, in 1838. Mr. STRUTT said that since then Mr. Walter Arnold had transferred that mortgage to Lord Thomas Cecil, and there was no notice of any re-trail , fer in the register -ho-k. It was therefore necessary to know by what right Mr. W. Arnold claimed to be mortgagee in possession. Afier a somewhat lengthened discussion, a resolution was proposed by Mr. MAYmtw, appointing a committee of five— viz., Mr. Strutt, Mr. Warrington, Mr. Powell, Mr. Lumley, and Dr. Jay -to wait On Mr. Arnold, and go through the accounts, with an accountant, anti report on the same to a mueting to he hereafter summoned, when such accounts shall be made out. Ott the motion of Dr. JAY, seconded by Sir Cusitt.Es F.
