The decorative fittings. together with the entirely NEW MAGICAL APPARATUS of SILVER, will be of the most chastefully beautiful description, and of such gorgeous splendour as even to deserve approbation from Royalty, should it deign to grace with its presence, as we have no doubt it will, the necromantic palace of this " ne plus ultra" magician of modern times.

The Lords having given themselves a holiday till next Monday, did not meet yesterday. The Commons were more assiduous, we wish we could say more beneficially employed, to the country. After the presentation of petitions, including one about that unhappy victim of E2clesiastical persecu tion, THOROGOOD, notices were , given by Captain PEcHELL of a clause to ho introduced into the Rating of Tenements' Bill, to allow the evidence of piri.sh offi cers ; by Mr. MILDMAY, of a Clause in the Bribery Bill to disfranchise every person convicted of bribery ; dila by Mr. BAINES, of a motion for returns concerning the aborigines in our colonies. Sir R. PEEL, on behalf of Lord STANLEY, whose pri %este business will not allow him to follow up his feud with Ireland, and whose ire and im>-called patriotism go to sleep when that is convenient —postponed the Committee on the Irish Registration Bill from :the 4th till the 11th of June. The monstrous evils, as described by the Tories, of fictitiou s votes in Ireland, are to remain uncured for a week because Lord STANLEY is engaged. Lord Joux RUSSELL, in consequence of this change, fixed the Canada Government Bill for Thursday instead of Friday ; and in reply to Sir R. PEEL, stated that no recent despatches on the subject bad been received from Canada. Mr. H (TT T moved for a Committee to inquire ua , ler what restrisstion s corn might be ground in bond. On this su'ojz.ict. into the merits of which, as it was amply discussed last S r cssto, we will n o t en te r , a consickr able numbe.ofMembers D spoke. Some of the country gentlemen -41c E ar l of supported it ; , ot h ers, like Mr CHRISTO PHER, for example— PHER, opposed it. Several M em b ers who were again s t M r . V ILLIERS ' ruotlon, like Lord SANDO w ,voted for tie Committee, sjahich - Mr. WA.RBultTom sn eered, as a very use l ess pruceeding. On a division, the .12t) to 54. motion w as carr i e d b y We believe with Mr. WARBURTON tha t B ill , ro • one should be recommended by t h e Com willmittce‘ to carry f Mr. HUTT'S intentions into effect, ever p ass through Parliament. Last year such a Bill was op posed because, by a remote possibility, a pound or two of foreign flour might have found its way into th e c somption of the working classes , Whom we believe it is the intention to humble and to starve by keeping them short of food; and this Session the same reason ing will prevail. A regard was laA year professed for certain opulent CORlmaciai classes. They may perhaps victual their ships somewhat cheaper, or be able to supply our colonies with flour, but not a single thought was bestowed on the great hulk of the people by the landowners, except how food may be kept from them. Nevertheless, we hope Mr. MIT may carry such a Bill through Parliament ; but the land lords are too determined to keep up prices by keeping the supply of corn limited, ever to consent; till they are terrified out of their injustice, to any such a measure. Lord JOHN RUSSELL next moved for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent bribery, the provisions of which he has already explained. He proposes, however, in ad dition, that if bribery be proved against a candidate, or his agents, every vote given for him, after a notice served on him that he or his agents are bribing, shall be null and void. The Bill also provides for an in vestigation into charges of bribery, independent of the candidates, and not at their expense. Mr. WYNN and Sir R. PEEL expressed doubts whe ther such an enactment as that described by the Noble Lord could be made to operate. After a brief conversation, leave was given. Mr. HawEs obtained leave to bring in a BA!, to subs; itute affirmation for oaths. Mr. COLQUHoUN moved for papers connected with the tracte to Java, and the n egotiation to induce the Dutch to consent to a more equitable tariff, which were ordered. Mr. LANGDALE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to authorise a Registrar to grant a certificate for the solemnization of marriage at the nearest place of wor ship belonging to the religion professed by the parties out of his district, provided there be no place of worship of that religion within his district. Mr. PICOT, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to remove doubts with respect to the qualification of voters in Ireland, and establish a tribunal of appeal to try questions of doubt as to the qualification, the provisions of which he ex plained. Mr. LITTON opposed the Bill, as dealing an underhand blow at the administration of justice in Ireland. The Hon. Member read a correspondence between Chief Justice BUSHE and Lord DENNIAN. N o opposit;on, however, was offered to the intro duction of the Bill, and after some explanations by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. SHAW, leave was given. Leave was afterwards given to bring in a Bill for settling the Canada Clergy Reserves question, the nu ture of which Lord JoHN RUSSELL explained at con siderable length. 1 The House sat till Twelve o'Clock. A public meeting will take place at Exeter-hall on Monday, the Ist of June, to take into considera tion certain plans for the extinction of die slave trade and the civilization of Africa. The meeting originally was fixed for Wednesday, 27th inst., and the long-tried friend of the negro, Mr. T. FOWELL BUXTON, was to have taken the chair ; but a new arrangement has been made, alike creditable to Mr. Bux'row and the Illustrious Individual who has consented to occupy his place. His Royal High dess Prince ALBERT will take the chair on the oc casion. He has not yet presided at any public meeting in this country, and all the friends of hu manity, and, we may add, all the subjects of her ,`lest Gracious MAJESTY, will hail with delight an event which identifies his Royal Highness with a cause so sacred, and which will bring him before the public as the patron of an Association formed for mitigating the suf f erings of the most helpless and the most ill-used portion of the human race. Such an example will not be without good effect in England, and, we trust, also in every slave-holding and slave-trading country :in the world. We will give a full report of the proceedings in The Sun of Monday evening. Bill brought in by Loid JOHN RUSSELL to make furi4.her provision as to certain rightsof voting ment in England an d Wal es fcr Members at i c. . gr lia ery short, which is more has the merit of being i sti zttion Bill. It enacts than we can say for the Reg, that no joint lessees and joint occupiei, shall be en titled to vote for County Members, unlessthe clear yearly value of the joint occupancy shall be so much, that, if divided by the number of occupiers, the share of each will be sufficient to confer on him the qualification. Such a clause, honestly carried out, will put an end to some fictitious votes in coun ties. We will not, on that account, praise it, for no measure that in :any way restricts the franchise or prevents an Englishman dwelling in a district from having a vote in it, whether be have an in , come of twenty shillings or a thousand pounds, shall ever receive our support. We no more require a diminution of the franchise in England than in Ireland. _ . By the second clause of the Bill that part of the Reform Act which requires the payment of rates in boroughs prior to registration is repealed, and by the third clause registration is made contingent on the payment of borough and poor-rates according !o some other Bill (the Registration Bill) to be passed this Session. This clause is obscure, hut we suppose it to enact that all the poor-rates must be paid up for the yelr ending six calendar months before the last day, whatever that may be, which is allowed for paying the arrears of rates. If this clause apply to the period when collectors issue distraints, the time may be very different in diffe rent boroughs, and may in some he put back indefinitely. As the clause stands, not one elector in ten thousand will understand it, and a more definite and precise time, up to which rates must be paid, if the payment of rates is to be made necessary to voting, should be substituted. Is it nc.t enough if a man pay not that his property is taken away ; and, if it be enough, why deprive him also of a vote for those who are to make laws affecting his liberty andlife? _ The next clause provides that no person shall be entitled to vote for a borough in respect of a shop or building occupied jointly with land, unless the shop or building be of a clear yearly value of not less than five pounds—a clause intended, we b_- lieve, to relieve certain great landed proprietors and propt ictresses from contro - lling the elections of certain boroughs, by building their tenants a pig -stye or stable in the town in conjunction with the land they occupy in the neighourhood. To destroy the sinister control and influence of mere wealth, which cares not how much it degrades man if its own selfish purpose be served, is worthy of all appro,- bation. Another clause repeals that part of the Reform Act which requires the returning officer to ask any voter whether he have the same qualification as that for which his name is registered ? Persons will not be excluded from voting by no longer pos sessing their original qualification, provided the parting with it entails no legal incapai.!ity from voting. These are all the enactments. We shall not now analyse the provisions of tle Registration Bill, but we must express a wish that it had been made more simple, and that the right to vote had been made rather to depend on some common-sense criterion, ascertainable by the liuM blest shopkeeper, than on legal technicalities which can only be decided by " ba:risters of seven years' standing." It is sorrow ful that we must, in disputed cases, call in lawyers to settle and adjust our cavil rights. Our political rights ought to stand perfectly clear from all such interference. The humblest citizen, that he may be ready to maintain such rights, should know what they are; and it is, we believe, a per fectiv modern and grievous innovation on the English Constitution and practices that lawyers are now continually called in to determine our political rights. The citizens should be taught, encouraged, and even compelled, if necessary, to decide these by and for themselves. The other course makes the people the slaves of one profession. \Ve insert the petition presented to the House of Commons on Wednesday evening by Sergeant TALFOURD relative to Mr. VINCENT. He is quite as badly treated as Mr. O'CONNOR, if not worse. His own clothes have been taken from him, and he is clothed in the prison dress. He exists on the prison diet. He is continually shut up in a cell, ex cept a short period in each day. His books are taken away, he is debarred the use of pen, ink, and paper, and can only commumce.te with his friends once every four months. He is doomed to the worst treatment of a felon, if not to slew death-. His offence is political, and the special jury who tried him re commended him to mercy ; yet such is the treatment he receives. It is equally foolish and criminal, for no severities or cruelties ever yet put down an opinion. I t i s impossible for , us, after w h at we have said of Mr. O'CONNOR s treatment, of the treat ment of Messrs. LOVET T and CoLLINs, and o f the n treatment of Mr. M'DouAL and hi s com panions, silent concerning Mr. V INCENT, ai t o r i e ls :m to be We rejoice that Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD has we trust that t h e Mi ntaken and rs u p w ill be convinced that it. is alike inconsis tent with their power and their honour to be mor e Tory than the Tories. Will the Morning Post, s complaint, because he Mr. O'C ONNoft ' is a gen tleman, and his case could be made the means of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1840. aitackliig Lhe 24 . .ii:tcrs, a,„. .....0,-.1.e Mi. V 1..- CENT'S cause ? We are afraid not, for he is, like LOVETT, a poor man and a democrat, and we have no recollection that the Post ever'said a word in behalf of LOVETT. At the same time it can hardly be denied that Mr. VINCENT is more deserv itg of public commiseration than Mr. O'CoNNoR. Afr. VINCENT may be mistaken, but he is a youth ful and an honest enthusiast. He did not set about political agitation as a trade. Of all the persons on whom the severity of the law has lately fallen for seditious libels, Mr. O'CONNOR is certainly not the one whom we should be the foremost to defend. The public, too, we apprehend, will see much more reason to excuse Mr. VINCENT, however intempe rate may have been his language, than Mr. O'CONNOR. The Post, however, has a liking for this latter, or is alarmed lest other gentldmen may be treated in the same way, and it has denounced the cruelty to which he has been subjected. We are glad to have a Tory auxiliary in any good cause, but we doubt whether the Post be aware of the probable effects of its partiality. The working classes already complain, and with great truth, of the partiality of the law ; the part taken by the Post in favour of Mr O'CON NOR, because he is a gentleman, together with the silence of the major part of the Press, even those Journals which call themselves Liberal, on the treatment which the other persons condemned to imprisonment for sedi tious libels have received, will strengthen the cor.- viction of the people that the partiality is not only in our laws but in our manners. It will corrobo rate all their arguments against the whole system, and confirm them in the theory that it is not the Corn-law or the Registration which they must amend, but they must pull down the whole fabric. In fact they are aiming, not at political reforms, - but at social iegeherafion; and the partialities which the writings of the Press demonstrate to prevail in 1 ' the manners of the community, as w e ll as i n the laws, serve as their justification. The prorogation of the Jamaica Legislature on the 11th of April—announced in the City article of yesterday's Sun --afforded his Excellency the Governor an opportunity of stating his impressions of the condition of affairs in that island, of which he availed himself to great length. His Excellency's speech is so long that we cannot make room for it in our columns, and even if we could, we question whether one in a thousand of our readers Would take the trouble to wade through it. We will therefore merely give an analysis of it. The Governor, Sir CHARLES METCALFE, begins by congratulating the Legislature on the termination of a Session, in the course of which many wise, useful, and necessary laws were passed ; adverts with pleasure to the loyal and dutiful congratulatory addresses to the QUEEN on her Majesty's mar riage ; notices the liberality and the alacrity with which abundant supplies were voted ; commends the Bills for making a permanent provision for the Governor, for the establishment of a general sys tem of police, for increasing the number of the Clergy, and for improving the Administration of Justice. His Excellency then proceeds to speak of what he witnessed of the condition of the co. loured population during a recent tour through the island, and here we have pleasure inexpressible in quoting his own words : " The easy and independent circumstances of the pea santry, as compared with those of our own countrymen at home, are very striking. Probably nn peasantry in any other quarter cf the globe have such comfats and advan tages. So far, the great work, of freedom bas been ac complished with the most beneficial results. lam very happy to add; that in most respects they appear to deserve their good fortune. They are, I understan€l, generally orderly. sober, free from crime, much improved in their moral habits, constant in their attendance at public wor ship, selicitous for the education of their children, and willing to pay the requisite expense. For these inesti mable traits in their general character and conduct, and the consequent benefits to the community, we are indebted in some degree, no doubt, to their naturally good disposi. Lion, but chiefly. I apprehend, to those ministers of reli gion, of all denominations, who have devoted themselves. to the religious and moral instruction of the peasantry, and to the education of their children. Our obligations on this account to all who have rendered this immense service are immeasurable." His Excellency, however, adds that property has deteriorated, and that the free labourers do not always abide by their engagements to work regu larly. They WO grievances still to complain of, and there were not wanting pgrsnllV to inflame their pas sions by keeping them constantly in sight. The worst was, the abuses of the rent system, of which the coloured race could not comprehend the bear ing, or recognize the equity, and his Excellency recommended th.; Members of the Legislature to consider whether a beitei nst lie adopted. lie alluded With considerable delicacy to the . sus abroad about the partial administration of justice by ;41.;g4trates, and advised that ever 3 thing might be done to man;fe;t pbefr ground!essness.. He further recommended mutual foibearanee, mutt warps the planters of the vigilant distrust with w hi c h their , c9 nAppi. i regarded in England. Al together the speech pYerept.;3 gratif3 ing view of the condition of Jamaica, ansi every op 7 prehension of any want of unanimity between the Governor and the House of Assembly. The General 4ssembly of the Church of Scottafid met on Thursday last, The ProAgg4iPg9? as I , Y4lf?e seen by referring to the Report inserted in aoptileT part of The Sun, are not without interest. A trial of strength took place between the Moderate party and the Vetoiatz, on the election of a Moderator, when the latter carried their miin by majority of 48, the numbers being 195 to 147. It has beeri Cii4olll for the Moderator of the preceding year to propose his au=essor, the selection of whom was enirti:::"l to a sort of Coir..mittef, consisting of all the m;nisters who had filled the chair ; hi. ;t this covrse was departed from on the present occasion, each of the coutenclinc; parties nomina:ing their own candidate. Dr. find, 0011 of the late Principal HILL of St. Andrew's, a man of high attaint.Mfts and erinally high character, was proposed by the Moderates, and the high-flyers, represented by Dr. De.wAR of Ahertlinn, nominated a Dr. M`KELLA It, whose qualifications for the office appear to consi§t in his being an old friend of his proposer, and in havin g stationed himself by the sid9 of the refractory Pres. hytery of Dunkeld when they were reprimanded by .the Judges of the Court of Session for setting the lawat of their country at defiance :—when, as Dr. CHALNIERS phrases 'it, ~ he fitted up his calm and intrepid front before the scowl (thiuk of that, my Lords) of offended Judges, and the sneers of ungodly If the numbers in this division be a fair test of the rektiv.! strength of the parties on the main question ; and if Dr. CHALMERS' speech be fair 'sample of the spirit of the Vetoists, there is little to be hoped for, in the way of adjusting the Non-intrusion question, from the present Assembly. Brussels and German Papers, the former of Wed. nesday's date, have been received. The Queen of the FRENCH was expected shortly to arrive at Brussels, to be present at the accouchement of her daughter the Queen of the BELGIANS. The Princes FERDINAND and AuGusnts of Saxe Coburg left Brussels on Wed. nesday morning, for Liege. Letters from Vienna, of the 19th instant, :Announce the death of NOVRRI EFFENDI, Turkish Ambassador to the Court of Berlin, at Vienna, of an attack oflunacy. His Excellency suffered during the journey from a disease to which our rambling tourists are strangers— home sickness, and ln.rdly had he entered the Austrian capital when the disorder manifested itself of which he died. M. MEGLITZKY, chief priest of the Russian chapel at .Vienna, has been ordered to proceed to Darmstadt, to convert the Princess MARY, bride-elect of the Grand Duke ALEXANDER of Russia. The following correspondence from the Turkish fron tier contains the latest intelligence from the Wallachian, Mold4vian, and Servian Provinces : TtIRKISO FRONTIER, MA Y 10. --The fermentation in Scrvia daily increases. Not only in Belgrade, but in the country, great discontent prevails. The party opposed to the Government is headed by Prince Ephraim (Jeffrem), brother of Milosch ; its inveteracy seems to ri se . with i ts hopes. This party has some very resolute partisans, wh o at present confine themselves to threats; but the wai s t may be expected when the tine for acting is com e . Threatening letters and pamphlets are circulated all over the country, for the purpose of exciting the country people against the present order of things. M. Isailovitch, Member of the Senate, found a few days ago a notice ou the door of his house, threatening him with death, and pitying the Prince for being surrounded bysuch intriguers andtraitors. " May God," so the notice concludes, " deliver the coun. try from the wretches who, at the instigation of Russia. bound the inexperienced Prince in fetters." At all events their threats seem not to be without importance, and the patriots, as they are called, not without chances of success, silice they succeed by such means in making men wavering and timid who are said to have more than common r.i,olution. Thus the Counsellors of State, Pe t!oniewitsch and Hucsitsch, have lately tendered their re. signation to the Prince, alleging that a conspiracy was formed against them, by which their property and their lives r. ere threatened with imminent danger. It is be lieved that Prance Mi c h ae l w ill not accept t h e i r res i g nation. , kIErFE, MAY 13..—The Chevalier Prokesch von Oaten, At; A,-„La,,ador dap before yesterday in the Archduke John, steam-boat, for Syria. on his return to Athens.

The French Journa!s of Wednesday are almost una nimous in an earnest denunciation of the vote of the Chamber of Deputies on the previous day, rejecting the increase of the originally proposed grant for remov ing the ashes of NAPOLEON from St. Helena to Paris. It will be remembered that the Government proposed a million of francs for the remo:•al of the remains of the EMPEROR, and that the Committee to whom the project of law was referred proposed an increase of another million, and the erection of an equestrian statue to his memory. The Government generously and promptly adopted these amendments, but strange to say the Cham ber of Deputies, which manifested such enthusiasm when the proposal was made—which blubbered its gratituje like a sentimental schoolgirl--on Tuesday voted against the augmentation of the million at fist demanded and rejected the article for the erection of a statue. In the annals of legislation it would be difficult to point out an exhibition more pitiful than this. To restore with becoming honour the remains of NAPOLEON to France, the deputies refuse to grant the paltry sum of a million francs, although assured by the President of the Council that the sum was requ'sue to the conduct ing the ceremony with any degree of splendour. If the French Chamber determined to exhibit such mean ness, why did it not vote to leave the remains of the EMPEP.OR on the lonely rock hallowed by his pre sence? Why remove him from his Island-grave where he reposes alone—where the pilgrim to his tomb finds nothing to disturb the solemnity of his re collections—if it be intended to consult the undertakers as to the cheapest mode both of removing and disposing of him. Not that we approve of either statues or mo numents to perpetuate the memory of NAPOLEON. His monument is the world ; and he can only be for- gotten when the human race has ceased to exist. But it is the pitiful display of economy that shocks and dis gusts us. The Chamber, which only the day before voted twenty-three mil Eons for canal jobbing, and has granted nearly two millions annually to pay spies and informers, under the name of secret service Money, refused to grant two millions to transport to France the ashes of their greatest warrior and idol— NAPOLEON the Great ! Tills is deplorably pitiful, and cannot fail to excite the indignation of France. i- - - There is no oth er queslion of any nterest dwelt upon in the Paris Journals of Wednesday. The Commerce publishes some accounts from Toulon relative to the Sulphur affair between England and Naphs, which will be found in another calunin. • The latest Madrid Papers are of the 20th instant. They are occupied with the Regent's proposed journey to Catalonia. Letters from Constantinople of the 71h instant state that the P.,rsian Government, or at least its agent, Hus sein Khan, had broken faith with the French officers en gaged for the Schah's service, and who were promised the plunder of British India. 46 General Darrtai," says one of these letters, who had been' engaged by Hussein Khan in the service of the Schah, had left Constantinople for Trehiinnd. This ofgcer, nGt rce-givigg the - funds necessary to continue his journey, found himself reduced to actual want in Constantinoisle, and (strange necessity) was obliged to leave his wife; cue of his Aide-de-Camps, and his effects in the hands of his creditors, as pledges for the paj meat of hi? debts. According to the last veountsfr,T, Hussein khanwas stilliiitliai city, with the i renc h officers he was bringing with him, and who were plunged in the greatest misery. Hussein, it appears, bad displeased his Sovereign, and was afraid to .proceed any further. A Frenchman, - who had. just returned from Persia, had nOFPO iP, r e ir a FF,Tll*;;Fp.q? to convince them of the depiprante state of tee anances of that country, he mentioned that the Schah had lately paid Part of the arrears due to his army with tobacco, upon hich the soldiers had lost upwards of one-half. oLOUR SE. --FARIS.

This year green peas have been plentiful, and in the greengrocers' shops by May 25 . They have been already hawked ab ‘ut the streets, we are told, at 3d. per peck, and are now seen at the table of those who indulge in no extravagant luxuries. The Queen has been pleased to confer on Mr. Thomas Willmer, of Sunbury Nursery, the title and honour of Florist to her Majesty. This distinction has been judiciously best owe d. Me.

Francois 13t4antin Cozirvnisier, who, it will be remem bered. was remanded en Wednesday last, in order to give the Magietrate an opportunity of satisfying himself with regard to certain facts which had come to his knowledge connected with the atrocious crime with which the pri soner stands charged, was this day again brought up to this office for re-examination. The night charges having been disposed of Mr. Hall entered the Court. Shortly before two o'clock he took his seat upon the bench, which, as on former occasions, was occupied by persons of distinc tion, among whom were several ladies. Mr. Flower, the solicitor to the prisoner, shortly after entered the Court, and took his seat at the table, under the bench appropriated to the use of professional gentle men. Mr. Hobler, the solicitor for the prosecution, ac companied by Mr. Wing, the Duke of Bedford's solicitor, almost immediately followed, and the prisoner was shortly afterwards placed at the bat. He appeared in excellent health and spirits, and had a smile on his countenance as he took his station at the bar. Mr. HALL said—Having obtained the information which I desired, there is no longer any reason why I should delay signing your committal. Yuu will, therefore, be taken to Newgete to await your trial, when any further evidence which may in the mewl time be brought to l'et, may be brought forward against you ; and when you will have an opportunity of producing any evidence you may think proper in your defence. You can now, if you choose, make any statement or observations you think proper on the facts alleged against you, but it is my duty to cauTion you that whatever statement you may choose to make will be taken down in writing, and may hereafter be made use of against you. The prisoner having consulted with his solicitor, Mr. Flower said the prisoner declines saying any thing at present, except that he is entirely innoceat of the creme laid to his charge. There is an observation I wish to mike, Si,, with regard to the impression of the seal which the prisoner handed to the officer. Whet' the offi cer was inquiring for a description of the missing property the prisoner was not able to give a particular description of the seal, but he went into a lower room where Mr. Russell then was, for the purpose of inquiring the pafticulsrs of him Mr. Rus,ell then gave ,he prisoner the impres sion from his pocket, and that was the manner in which be became possessed of the impression which he handed to the officer. I have thorelore to request that Mr. Russell may be asked the question. Mr Hobler—_lf Mr. Russell did any act of the kind, Mr. Flower has it in his power to produce it in evidence. Mr. Flower (with some warmth)—l consider it very unfair to be calling upon the prisoner to produce evidence which is in the power of the prosecutor--it is very hard upon him. I know Mr. Hobler's object very well—calling upon us to produce evidence. Mr. Hem. did riot consider it as his duty to point out to the professional Gentlemen who were engaged in con ducting the prosecution the manner in which they were to carry on their case. It was not for him to tell them what vtidence they were to call, and what evidence they were to leave uncalled; and he therefore thought he had no right to tell them to call the evidence in questii n. Mr. Flower thought it his duty to make this statement, and if Mr. Hobler refused to call Mr. Russell, it wou d have its effect. Mr. Hobler said it was a fact unknown to him until this moment. Mr. Flower had stated that he had an object in view. He begged to say that he had none whatever. Mr. HALL said it wa‘ not his duty to call upon the pro secution to produce evidence as to every thing that the prisoner himself or his solicitor might surmise. Mr. Flower had stated it as a matter of fact. Mr. nobler would repeat, he was not aware of the fact. It rested upon the prisoner's assertion, and he should not place Mr. Russell before the Court until he had had an in vestigation into the real state of the case. Mr. Flower—Will you then? Mr. Hobler--I shall pledge myself to nothing. Mr. Flower must not go away wiqi the idea that because the prisoner is now committed, if between this and the time of his trial any fresh evi• deuce should transpire, I shall not bring it; for ward. I shall consider it my duty to bring for ward every evidence in my possession, and it does not follow that because I have produced evidence enough to warrant a committal, I should be precluded from bringing forward other evidence, should any such transpire. The prisoner was then removed from tie bar, and shortly afterwards was conve) ed to Newgate in the prison van, having been; fully committed to take h!s trial at the next Sessions of the Central Criminal Court for the murder of Lord Will'am Russell. CHANCERY CO URT.-(THIS DAY. MAUCHAN V. VINCENT.--JEDGMENT, The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before his Lordship a few days since, upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vtce- Chancellor. His Lordship said that the question in the case turned between the children of the marriage and those who would be the next of kin of the wife if she had no children, under the provisions In the articles of mar riage, in which it was provided, •hat in the event of the wife making no appointment, and dying in lifetime of her husband, her personal estate should be held by such persons as, under the Statute of Distributions, would be entitled in case the wife bad died unmarried. Upon the case coming on before his Hunow the Vida-Chancellor, be was a opinion thlt Van word unmarried must be con strued na never having been mottled, and consequently that the children of the marriage were excluded, and the next of kin were entitled. Now the first question, in his Lordship's mind, was whether the word unmarried was of go initexible a nature as that it could receive no, clhOt eonstruction than that of meaning never br,ing been married. That certainly was op;‘, c.` the meanings of the wcrd ; but it was sicceasarily the only meaning the correct meaning was that the party was not then married. That had been laid down in the case of " Doe on the demise of Ualclwin." And Al.ferson reports where it was 4040 that the word meant never having been rwried, er not married at the time of the Oases had b een re f erre d to i n which the ; C:cut - t had held that unmarried meant never having been married, but those cases were not authorities for showing that that was the only construction to be put open the word, but that the Court had pnt construction upon it. His Lordship the,ugbt that ther e was amp l e ' agtho ply tp, ctabiish' the proposition—that the term uaMarned was a flexible term, and that the meaning was to be asceitsined, not by any strsct rule of construction, but according to the sense ia which it appeared to have been used. ju Ilia present case, looking at the sittntip of the parties, considering that thp Marriage were carried into execution, that their object was to provide for the issue of the marria g e, it was impossible to suppose that the parties in tended to exclude their own issue. Yet such was tax. eWect of the Vice-Chancellor's decree. Unclev all the eireurn. stances, his Lordship lags cleaciy opinion that th'• o n l y Oirbhre4t4 r t , e t i :: 3 11 : f 4l4 e th a e f h % u li t, e ba d n e d at . h „ e_ipl . Fwir.. 'to exclude the , “ou that being the opinion of the Cyurt, the of his Honour the Vice_ Chancel- ue reversed, and a declaration pronounced declar ing the cliildren of the marriage entitled to the personal (state. in conclusion, ijs Lordship felt bound to say that in his whole experience he had never seen a decree so irregularly drawn up, and he was convinced that the Court could net possibly have known that such a decree was drawn up. The Court, after disposing of the cause and lunatic peti tions on the paper, proceeded to hear the case of Gom pertz v. Ansdell, which came before the Court upon mo tiozi ior a new trial. The motion is expected t) oc:upy the Court several days. VICE-UHAN7C- E1 3 ..V. - 7 (THIS DAY.) Short causes and unopposed petitions occupied the Court the whole morning. EXCHEQUER COU-R-T-THIS DAY.

This was an action of assumpsit, in which the plaintiff sought to recover damages on five dif f erent c mats from the defendant. The ease was referred to the al hitrat'on of a barrister, who found for the plaintiff on the different counts. It was contended, however, by Mr. Byles, on the part of the defendant, first, that the finding of the award was not on all the issues, and if it were so that the finding on the the counts was inconsistent. Mr. Justico Littledaie granted a motion for setting aside the award. Mr. An. drews contended that the rule should be discharged. Lord DENNIAN said it was clear that the arbitrator had mate a mistake in the case. He should have found, as set forth, that something had been paid by the plaintif f to the defendant, but he had not done so.—The rule was there. fore made absolute --_, The Times of -- this morning — loath Lord John Russell with praise for transmitting :-ourtcl and statesmanlike instructions to the Go.ernor- General of Canada, and calls on Members to throw aside party feelings in discussing the Canada Union Bill. —The Chronicle, in an article contrasting toe moral influences of the Liberal and 'Tory parties on the com munity, sa ve , " The present Conservative minority is, in point of numbers, the strongest ever known ; but in miiral force it is the weakest, and, as the events of the present session, have shown, powerle: s, except to obstruct and annoy.
