Zbv iTa_lt LONDON: FRIDAY, JUNE 19:1840. The Lords met yesterday, when the Marquis ofLANsDOWNE elicited from Lord LYNDHURST that he will not oppose the motion for going into a Committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill, but in Committee will move a series of amendments, as he did last year, have them printed, and subsequently discuss t hem• The Noble and Learned Lord is to sweat the Bill to an alomy, if he do not extinguish it. The Bishop of EXETER is to-day to move for a copy of the instructions given to Mr. POULETT THOMSON as Governor of Canada. _ _ Their Lordships immediately adjourned. In the Commons a number of petitions was pre seated, one of which, directed against the Corporation of London—an ancient and unabated nuisance—Mr. WaatanaTora is subsequently to bring under the notice of th e House. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition on the subject of Non-Intrusion, and gave notice that on Monday he should present a petition from the seven suspended • ministers of Strathbogie. Sir JAMI:s GRAHAM complained of the misrepre sentations of the Morning Chronicle, touching his having exerted himself to prevent a House being formed t to•hear Sir R. INGLIs's motion on Tuesday, and posi tively denied that he had prevented Members from en tering, which he should regard as a breach of duty. The Report on the Vaccination Bill was brought tip, and the Timber Duties Bill went through the Committee. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the third reading of the Canada Government Bill, and explained that he would follow the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and not make the debts of the provinces a charge on the consolidated revenue, and the advice of Mr. ELLICE, and leave out the clauses ordaining district councils. Mr. HOME regretted to hear of these alterations, and recommended a general amnesty. After a few words in commendation of the Bill from Sir H. PEEL, and ja few words censuring it, as the foundation of Canadian independence, from Sir THOMAS COCHRANE, the Bill was read a third time and passed. The Police-rate Assessment Bill then went through a Committee. Th e further consideration of the Report of County Constabulary Bill set loose the tongues of many country gentlemen, who dilated on tlia virtues of the rural popu lation, the great dignity of the unpaid Magistracy, and the sufficiency of the old constables, with some little improvements, to keep the peace in the rural districts. Mr. HUME, of course, adverted to the necessity of County Boards. Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Lord G. SOMERSET advocated sending the Bill to a Select Com mittee, and on this question the House divided, reject ifig the motion for a Select Committee, by 105 to 39. A discussion which occupied the greater part of the evening ensued, on the several clauses of the Bill. The House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'Cioek. Loid STANLEY'S Disfranchisement Bill is again to be discussed tonight. Already that measure has occupied the House of Commons eight or ten nights, and will pry bably occupy it eight or ten more. It is a party meuure i and deeply interests individual Members, but disgraces the Parliament, The peitinacity with which it is urged is exactly proportionate to its value for a class and its worth lessness for the nation. Ministers have, in our estimation, unadvisedly given a sanction to Lord STANLEY'S measure, by proposing a Registration Bill of their own. What is the mighty evil complained of ? A score or two, or a hundred or two, Irishmen vote at elections more than is agreeable to the landowners. That is the sum of the evil ? Who complains of it ? Some score or two of landlords. The Tories are kept out of office. The political in fluence of the Orange landlords is not equal to their wishes ; they petition a few fellow landlords ; theycomplain:of perjury and fictitious votes; and the anxiously moral--the virtuous beings they address, cannot rest till these fictitious voters are removed, and till the registration be so arranged as to be completely under the control of the landlords. To attain that end Lord STANLEY brought in his Bill. To attain that end he has wasted eight or ten days' precious public time ; and to attain it he is sacrifi cing the character of Parliament, and will sacrifice the peace of Ireland. The whole proceeding is mere scampish faction assuming the garb of pa triotism. The eagerness with which Lord STANLEY and the Tories force on this Landlord's Bill, contrasts finely with their repugnance to listen to the de mands of the people for the repeal of the Coin laws. Last Session they would not allow any inquiry into them ; this Session they have scarcely condescended to admit a debate. Fifteen hundred thousand petitioners are of no consequence ; a score or two of Orange landlords lutist be instantly at tended to. The Commons, oh ! how misnamed, scouted the prayers of the people. Lord STAN LEY' S Bill will have a more injurious effect even thanffronting and insulting the Irish ; it will burn into the brain and heart of the community the angry conviction that the House of Commons is the mere organ of a narrow and selfish class, that it cares much for a few landlords and nothing for the masses. When that conviction becomes a part of the public mind, can Lord STANLEY suppose that the Legislature will be obeyed ? What is there in his name, or the colour of his skin, or his waspish temper, to make it virtuous in the mass of the Irish to fall down and worship him ? What is there so divine in the votes of a Sergeant JACKSON or an EMERSON TENNENT, though confirmed by a LYN DHURST, to make a great nation obey them, sater it is convinced that the members of the Legis lature seek their private advantage and trample the public good under foot ? People discriminate too nicely for slavish obedience. They understand as well as Lord STANLEY that the will of the Legis lature means the decree of a mere faction, and the public good the superiority of the Orange landlords. Why should the masses submit to the passions and interests of the few ? Why should the unrepre sented submit to have their lives and proper ties disposed of by their enemies ? The Irish are beginning to ask themselves those questions, and the answers will go far, not to keep a fictitious vote or two on the registry, but to make them refuse obedience to the law. Lord STANLEY thinks he is only purging a register ; he is laying the axe to the root of his own power. The Metropolitan Police, established by Sir ROBERT PEEL, for the convenience and protection of the public, has, from the supineness of, the Home Government, and the despotic propensities of Justices of the Peace, and other Magistrates, become the scourge of the com munity. We write advisedly when we state, that at no time within the last fifty years, not even during the most. tyrannical period of the Tory Government, have the inhabitants of the metropolis been so harassed by official interference as they are at the present moment. Acts have been passed with the consent or conniv ance of the Whig Government, which interfere un necessarily with the habits, trade, and amusements of the people, and these Acts have been stretched beyond endurance, by the men raised and maintained at the public expense. No species of legislation appears too contemptible to be taken up by the modern Solons. The House of Commons have muzzled the Chimney sweep boy, muffled the bell of the muffinman, laid an interdict on the Savoyard's barrel-organ ; they have sat in deep counsel, and gravely debated the most effectual punishmer.t for boys who fly kites and trundle hoops ; and the Commissioners of Police, imitating the manly example, have out-heroded HEROD, and taken advantage of the Police Act to prevent boys and girls from riding donkeys on Sunday. Women cry shame on the tyrants. They haie not, however, confined their labours to children. The middle and lower classes, of all ages, arc placed under their special surveillance, and no means appear to be left, untried to tame down an Englishman to the abject slave. One of the most offensive, and we have always said illegal, stretches of police authority, is exercised against respectable citi zens and tradesmen who retire. after the labours of the week, to their little clubs and coteries for conversation and rational amusement. Every parlour and tap-room must be cleared by twelve, and this, too, in defiance of the decisions of some of the most judicious and reTect able of the Police Magistrates. Not satisfied with this, the Police Commissioners are now extending their inquisitorial power into the rooms of private societies, which even the SIDMOUTHS and CASTLEREAGHS, in the worst times, respected. An Institution, called the Eccentric Society, which has existed for forty years, is to be the first victim. On Saturday, an in , spector and two policemen entered the place of meeting, from which all but members are excluded. On Tues day a summons was issued for the attendance of the landlady at a police-office, and to-morrow the case comes on for adjudic ition at Bow-street. This society ' was founded by gentlemen connected with the press ; it is kept up by them, and, from the nature of their occupations, it can be held only on Saturday night. It numbers on its books more than six thousand names ; among which are some of the brightest that adorn the history of the country. SHERIDAN was among the earliest that inscribed his name. VAN &HEN, the President of the United States ; Lord MELBOURNE, we believe—at all events, his late brother GEORGE LAMB ; the present Attorney-General, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL ; Mr. ADOLPHUS ; Mr. CHARLES PHIL LIPS ; and two or three of the most eloquent men of their time, now dead, often attended this society for the purpose of acquiring habits of extempore speaking ; yet this useful institution is to be extinguished under a Liberal Government, and on a doubtful clause of an Act of Parliament. Lord NORMANBY comes in for a vast share of blame in suffering these Pharisaical doings, not that he is touched himself, but that be yields to the Puritanical notions of Mr. Fox MAULE, the Under-Se cretary of State. The Paris Journals of Wednesday state that on the previous day the Chamber of Deputies passed the Paris and Rouen, and Montpelier and Nimes, Rail way Bill. The great business of the Session is there fore over—the Budget having been previously voted. The KING has appointed Count MATHIEW DE LA RLDORTE Ambassador at Madrid in the room of the Marquis DE RUMIGNY, who is named Ambassador at the Court of Berlin. The Prince DE JOINVILLE iS to sail for St. Helena in the beginning of July. His Royal Highness will be accompanied on board the Belle Pottle frigate by Generals BERTRAND and GOURGEAUD, M. DE LAS CASES, junior, and sonic other Personal friends of the EMPEROR. The KING has addressed a letter to Marshal GE RARD, expressive of the pleasure he derived from the review of the National Guards of Paris and Banlieu, on Sunday last. The Temps publishes a letter from Cayenne, dated the 4th ultimo, in which the French Government is blamed for attending to the remonstrances, or accept ing the mediation of England, relative to the South American quarrel. The French Tories are as long eared a race us the SIBTIIORPS of Great Britain. In the Constitutionnel we find the substance of letters from Constantinople and Alexandria, of the 28th ult , which represent the Oriental question as in the rapid progress of amicable adjustment. The writers attri buted this entirely to the diplomatic ability of the French Ambassador. The plague had abated at Alexandria. The late fire at Cairo was proved to be the work of en incendiary. The number of houses destroyed was thirty. I t was rumoured at Constantinople that the Em- FUROR of RUSSIA, in person, would accompany the army destined to invade Circassia. The Circassians were reported to be in an ecstasy of joy on account. of their late triumphs. Besides the capture of the Rus sian fortresses, they had taken 120 pieces of cannon, with ammunition for ten years. BOURSE. —PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

TRIAL OF COURVOISIER'FOR THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL. The Court resumed this morning, and was crowded in every part. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was on the Bench. Among those present yesterday at the trial, we mentioned the name of Lady Arthur Lennox. This was not the case; her Ladyship was not present ; and our reporter, to whom a lacy was pointed out as Lady Arthur Lennox, was misinformed. We state this upon authority. At ten o'clock, Mr. Sergeant Arabin opened the Court, and the prisoner was placed at the bar. He appeared firm, but rather fa tigued, and not in quite such good spirits as yesterday. Mr. Ser. geant Arabin directed that he should be accommodated with a chair, should he be desirous of it. The Judges entered the Court shortly after ten o'clock. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated that he had to say that in the course of yes. terday a most important piece of evidence had been discovered, which he intended to offer to the Court, and that, therefore, if the Court wished it, he should open it. Mr. C. PHILLIPS said that in justice to the prisoner the informs. tion ought to havebeen communicated to his legal advisers; he must deprecate any statement being made at present. Mr. ADOLPHUS—The communication was made immediately to you. Mr. C. Plumes—Neither Mr. Clarkson nor myself heard any thing about it until the last quarter of an hour, and there is our solicitor willing to make oath to the same as regards himself. Let us know, therefore, to whom the communication was made. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—The evidence, I suppose, will be produced in the regular course. Let us have no more inquiry about it, but call the next witness. John Tedman examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I am an inspector of police. I was called to the house of the late Lord 'William Rus sell on the'morning of the Pith of May. I examined the back area door, and found on it marks of bruises as if made by some blunt instrument. There were bruises inflicted by the same instrument on the door-post; but the marks on the dooe and door-post did not correspond. At first I thought that the bruises on the upper part of the door were done from the outside. There was a bolt at the bottom of the door. It was very rusty, so that there was great difficulty in fastening it. It nad not beeu fastened for a considerable time. It could not have been in the state I found it if it had been fastened the night before. There were marks of, violence near it. It appeared to me as if those marks had been made inside. I have not the slightest doubt about that. I then saw the housemaid and cook in the passage close by. In consequence of what they said I went into the butler's pantry, on the same floor. I saw the' prisoner sitting on a chair behind the door between it aecl the cupboard. Sarah Mansell said "Oh dear Imy Lord is murdered." I said, Come along with me, and show me where the body of his Lordship lies. We all went up into the bedroom together. The cook accompanied us. I cannot say who opened the door, but we all went in toge ther. On entering the room I found the curtain of the bed partly drawn. Two of the shutters of the further window and the middle one were open. The shutter nearest his Lordship's bed was nearly ,open. I opened it, and turned to the bed. I saw th s body, covered over, lying like a person asleep in bed. A napkin was over the face. I took the napkin off, and turned the clothes down. I saw a great quantity of blood in the bed, from where his Lordship's head lay down to the middle of the bed. The blood was its the bed and on the pillow. His Lordship's eyes were closed, and he looked as if he were asleep. His tongue was slightly protruded. As I did this, the prisoner who was standing at the foot of the bed fell back in a chair He said "Oh dear, this is a shocking *job," or "a shocking thing—l shall lose my place and character." I desired them to send for a surgeon, and a surgeon came in con. sequence. There was a watchcase standing on a night-table by the side of the bed. There was no watch in it. There was a Russia leather little box and a mahogany box, and two note cases.—(The article's were here produced and identified.) The articles were side by side upon the night-table. The Russia case was open; thereat were as they are now. There was nothing in them. I pointed to the watch-case, and asked him if there were anything missing. He said, Yes, the watch is gone. I asked him if his Lordship kept much money about him, and if any were gone. He took up the note-case, examined it, and said there was a 10/. and a 5/. note yesterday in the box. I asked him it there was anything else missing. He said he did not know—he did not think there was. There was a book by the side of the bed, with s pair of spectacles in it. It was on the floor next the window. The book was open. I asked him how the book came there. He said, I left his Lord ship reading that when I went to bed last night. I searched the russia-box, and found in it a gold ring, a spectacle-case, and two coins—one a piece of Venetian money. They were both copper ; and also another note-case. That was all I found its the box. I thee went to the bookshelf hetween the windows—the one nearest the bed and the middle one. It was a book-shelf with a flat top, the books being below. There was a silver candlestick on the shelf, with a little snuff in the bottom. The candle was completely burnt out. It was five or six feet from his Lordship's bed, right in front of the face. A person in the bed could read by it, but not reach it. After this the surgeons came. There was no instrument found near the bed wills which the wound could have been inflicted. I found a little Russia case with four rouleau cases in it—each was capable of holding a good many sovereigns. They were empty. The case was standing on the book-shelf. I asked the prisoner if any pro. perty was missing from that case. He said I really cannot tell you, but Ellis can. Ellis was the late valet. On the next table, be. tweets the other two windows, I found a pair of boot hooks and a gold pin. The tray of rouleaus was taken out of the box and stand ing apart from it (the box is the one that has been described as the cash-box). I looked at the gold pin. The prisoner took it up and said his Lordship wore that yesterday. On the table where the look. ing.glass stands, in the corner of the room, near the last window, I found a variety of silver articles belonging to a dressing_esse s t rewe d about the table. There is a crest upon them all. There was also ass eye .glass and two razors, and sense other things. There was not the slightest mark on either of the razors to indicate that the act had been committed with them. There were six walking canes in the room, four mounted with gold. There were four razors in another part of the room. I said to the prisoner, It is a very curious thief to leave all this property behind. He said, It is certainly very strange. I then went to another table, at the foot of the bed, near the fire place, and found a dressing case on it, which had been wrenched open. (The dressing case was produced.) I considered it had been unlocked before it was wrenched; the hinges were wrenched off, as if by being thrown back, and that the lid had been put on again, and the box locked, for the lock was shot when 1 found it, as it is now. There were some keys found in the back drawing room, one of which fitted it. I also understood the pri. toner had a key which fitted it, but do not know. I considered the hinges had been wrenched as 1 described, because, if the per son had opened it in front, he would not have wanted to break the back. There is no mark of any instrument having been used at the back to wrench the box open, and if such had been used, I think a mark musi have been left. The hinges are inside hinges. There were four gold rings in it, and four bottles with silver tops. I asked the prisoner if there was any missing from it ? He said Yes, fire gold rings, which his Lordship wore yester day. Ile meant five rings in addition to those found. The prisoner had examined the case when he gave me that answer. I asked if there was anything else missing P He said I can't tell you, but Ellis can. From there I went to the cupboard in the left-hand corner, as you enter the room. I found there four silver. mounted tobacco pipes, and an opera glass. I then examined the wardrobe, and asked him if there was anything missing from those places ? He said, Ido not think there is. The locks of those places were uninjured. 1 found a rushlight in a stand, about one-third burnt. The prisoner told me his Lordship always had a rushlight burning at night. I asked him at what time his Lordship went to bed last night ? Ile said, About half after twelve, or a guar. ter to one o'clock. There was a key in the bed-room door inside. I asked the prisoner if his Lordship locked his bed.room door. He said his Lordship never did. The door opens very easily:; I should not think a person in bed could hear it even if awake. In the back drawing.room I saw the Davenport writing desk moved out of its place, and some papers lying on the ground. The papers appeared to have been disturbed. On his Lordship's writing desk I saw a screw-driver and a bunch of keys lying by the side of the Davenport writing-desk. I asked the prisoner if the screw-driver belonged to the House. He said " I be lieve it does." I said, " Did his Lordship use it yesterday." He said " I am sure I csnnot tell." We then went into the dining.raom, The drawers of the sideboard were pulled out, and the plate scattered about. seas perfectly . willing d astthei t ri o ,:ga a y d N n v ii: described asi' e Il h e bey s a tp i l d ireisiol s ol o lue m sr e 'i' s ia.l poon s and forks Mr. C.fehrxl:citinFtnii:s sideboard, Ile h e prisoner if the cloak • btni)u'iatCstsrli'°t'chsgaset-iiiot tell how many.

He u ndid the chain I unlocked and unbolted it, a nd p ut the s p rin g of the lock by the , hook, snd I said, As you see it now. There is a door at the end of the passage going into the garden. It is partly a glass door, The chain was on that door. It was bolted, and it never Inal been disturbed at all. There was an inside shutter to it. It was down. It could be pushed down without unfastening the door. The glass was whole and unbroken, and there was not a mark on the door; the area.gate was uninjured ; it was locked. There is no gate to the back area, I went to the pantry, and saw a press there with sonic drawers ; they were open ; the top one was forced as if forced by a chisel or a screw.driver, or some such blunt instrument. The lock was sprung as if locked. The articles in the drawer were dis. turlsed. There is a window in the pantry. I asked him if it was fastened last night; he said, I do not think it was, but I cannot say exactly. I then went to the backdoor on the basement story ; it was very much bruised, as I h ave before stated. The p riso ner assisted in examining the door, a nd p ointed out some marks w hich I had not sera. I said to the pris oner, on examinin g the door, Sonic of you in the house have done this deed. He said, If they have I hope they will be found out. I said, there is not much fear but what they will. I looked about to see how any body could have got into the house. I examined the wall. There were some slates which must have been disturbed, I should think., by any person de scending that wall. There was a quantity of dust on the slates,• which was midis; tubed. There was dust on the load, but as Bald win and Groves were thcre before me the dust had been dicturbcd. A man passing must have left the marks of his feet. behind. I sac: Baldwin going up. A person going over the opposite wall would have got to No. I There was no mark on that wall. A person could not have gut to Lord Russell's house without walking over the roof of the water-closet, the tiles of which were undisturbed. On tte, other sine ie the area of No. I tt, which is very deep, touch deeper than Lord Russell's. 1 went with the prisoner into his bed-rourn. I found there a purse; there was a 5/. Bank of England note and six sovereigns in it. I asked the prisoner how he came by the note ? • He said he had given his Lordship change for it some days ..tgo, and that the rest of the money he had had some time. He showed me his box. I examined everything in it, but folold nothing to throw any light upon this case. The box was left in the room, and the key in the prisoner's possession. lie left the box open. Ile appeared to have on a quite clean shirt that morning. The prisoner, although not in custody, was under the watch of the po lice, and the female servants were watched also. Care was taken to prevent their having conference wi:h one another; but the Fri ,:ner was not hindered from having access to his own room. Ile was taken into custody on the afternoon of Friday, May 5, but was not taken out of the house until Sunday. Constables, however ; were constantly with him. On Sunday he was taken to thestation-house, and on Monday, the 11th May, he was taken before the Justices at Bow-street, There were several examina tions, before his final committal. On the evening of 13th May, a person, representing himself as the uncle <4' the prisoner, came to the house and asked for some clean linen for the prisoner. I hay. ing had directions to let him have what he required, went up next morning to his box to get it, and in doing so unfolded a shirt, from which the gloves produced dropped out. They are white cotton gloves. I had on the previous examination unfolded the shirts in the box, but had not shaken them. The gloves dropped down when I shook the shirt. On the former occasion I had unfolded the shirts without finding anything, and on this occasion I had unfolded the shirt without finding anything, but when I shook it the gloves dropped out. I examined the prisoner's hands on the 6th May, but found no scratch or mark. Cross-examined by Mr. C. Plum:m-1 examined the trunks of all the servants, by their desire. I examined the prisoner's trunk, to see if there was any weapon, or any article with marks of blood. I satisfied myself on the subject. I searched as carefully as I possibly could. On the morning of the 14th I found two shirts that I looked at and found them free from spots. There were several other shirts in the room. I unfolded the shirt I was about to give for the prisoner's use, as nearly as possible in the same way I did in the first instance. On the fith I took all the articles out of the trunk. The prisoner and myself replaced them. They were all replaced in my presence. The prisoner had access to the room, and the women had access to it also. On the 6th there was no spot of blood upon anything I saw. There was no mark upon the glass.door. I examined it to discover if there was any. Mr. C, PIIILLIPS—I do not ask you who did it, but are there not a number of marks upon that door now ? Witness There are. Mr. PHILLIPS—And upon the post also ? Witness—. There are. From the time the police entered the house Courvoisier was under oar inspection. There were two constables appointed to watch him—Cronin, who is here, and Sergeant Pullen, who is at the house now. I found no weapon on the 6th in the prisoner's trunk. Re-examined—When I examined the linen on the 6th I merely unfolded it, without shaking it. A pair of gloves might have been in it. The inspection under which the prisoner was, kept him from access to all persons from without, and from the females. I was not present when the marks were made on the glass-door, nor were they made by my orders. William Rose—l am a police constable. I went to Lord Russell's house on the morning of the 6th of May, in company with Baldwin. I went into the yard, and saw the wall. It has an edging of slate on the top. That edging does not appear disturbed. The wall itself is whitewashed. There were no marks upon it. I went up to examine thelead flat with Baldwin. It was covered with dust. There was no mark upon it. I tried the dust. There was sufficient dust on the lead for me to write my name on it. I also examined this small building on the opposite corner. ( Witness referred to the model.) There is a weather ' board at the end of it projecting. Neither the tiling of the build ing nor the board was disturbed. It is strong enough to bear the weight of a man. Supposing you ware to go over the roof of the small building it would lead you over the leads. I went into the hack premises of No. 15. Henry Beresford, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS --I am an In spector of police. I went to Lord W. Russell's on the morning of the 6th May, about eight o'clock. After seeing his Lordship's body, I examined the back area door. I saw several marks upon the door and the door-post. The marks on the door I thought at first had been made with the door open, and ray impression was that the marks on the post were made with the door open, and from the inside. On further inspection I have altered my opinion. I think now they were made while it aas closed, by a person standing outside the door, the door being on the latch, by the insertion of some blunt instrument, which had been turned round. I should say that the marks were made with a hammer. I tried the experi ment with the hammer on the glass-door, and produced marks pre cisely similar. The marks on the door were something lower than the marks on the door post. The socket of the top bolt was down on the ground, with two nails in it. I examined it, and it appeared as if some instrument had been put in the socket itself to force it off There were black marks on it, as byif n r i v a s d t e a b i y ld a d p e o c k a e y r . . It could not have been forced off if the bolt had been sh o t . Th e lower bolt did not appear injured, except thought at first it might have been, but do. not now. I attempted to move the lower bolt, but it was with the greatest difficulty I could move it at all, from rust--(the door and door-post were here produced, and .the witness explained the marks to , the Jury.) On the door-post and-the lower bolt there are 'narks, of considerable violence outside, as if produced by. a chisel or screw -driver. There are scarcely any marks. on the door. opposite. There is one, but very slight ; not at all corresponding with the mark made on the post. Passing upwards, the next marks are those I have described, and which 1 suppose to have been made with the hammer. The mark on the door is a little below that on the door-post. I think they were made on the outside. They could be made when the door was closed at the same time. They were not of sufficient violence, in my opinion, to push open the door even if on the latch. Going up, and outside, there were five marks of exactly, similar nature, made with more or less violence. On the glass door, fastened with only the latch, without any bolt, I used quite as much violence without opening the door. On the top-there are marks which I have already described. All the marks were made with the same instrument, except those at the bottom bolt. There was not sufficient violence to have forced open the top bolt if It had been shot. The bolt could not have forced off the socket. There are marks on the socket and wood inside, which could not have been made by the bolt. It was evident the socket was taken off' with the door open. There are marks at ,the end on the post inside the socket which could not be made by the bolt, because I shot the bolt, and it would not reach as far. The marks were recently made, for the mortar was disturbed, and was quite fresh. I went up into Lord William's bed.room with the prisoner and Mr. Tedman. , I asked the prisoner to describe all the missing articles, that I might circu. late them through the police. He mentioned several articles, and said that I had better send for Ellis, as Ellis could' describe them better than he. After examining the door, I went up stairs again, and then the prisoner, amongst other as ticles;degcribed a gold watch. He said it was a gold watch, with three seals attached by a black riband. It was of foreign make, but he could t.ot tell the maker's name, but that it had " Lord William Russell " en graved on the case. That was all the description he gave me of the watch. He said one of the seals had Lord W. Russell's coat of arms on it—a goat. He went and got me an impression of the seal. In the course of the day I went into the prisoner's bedroom with Tedman and the prisoner. That was the first time his box was searched. In that box, between two waistcoats, I found a chisel. In Lord William's bed-room I had seen a rush light shade, with a rushlight partly burnt in it. I subsequently re ceived a rushlight from one of the servants. I lit it, to try the ex. periment how long it would take to burn down to the length of that found in Lord William's bed-room, and it took one hour and a half. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PIIILItps —I believe there is a lock to the prisoner's bed-room door, but I cannot say. Ido not know if the door was open. I did not notice if the trunk was locked or not. I was engaged with Tednian in taking the clothes carefully off the bed when the box was opened. I believe it was opened by the prisoner. The chisel was found about the middle of the trunk. 1 went to the trunk for the purpose of examining all its contents. I examined its contents. I examined so as to convince myself that nothing suspicious was to be found. Re-examined—l examined the black portmanteau. The pri. soner saw me take the chisel out, he made no observations. There were two shirts. 'merely examined their wristbands and fronts. Mr. BODKIN said that something would be found in the deposi tions about the impression of the seal, which it was supposed might implicate the prisoner, but it now appeared he had procured it from an old letter in the house. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—The prisoner said that he had obtained it from Mr. W. Russell, and that gentleman has come forward in thZ., most honourable manner to state such was the fact. The trial was proceeding when we wen to press. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

[ADVERTI..; L.:L: 7; 7 T. PNEUMATW O 1& ATAOSPITIERIC RA IL \‘' A Y. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Old Slaughters Hotel, June 18, 1840. SIR — Messrs. Samuda have, in your paper of last evening, in ad rerptaiuhult style, attempted a wholesale denial to grave charges dc. tailed in reference to public rep?rts and documents ; but their let. ter is, in effect, an admission of some of rny allegations. As to the correctness of the charges contained i n my letters, the accom. panying note of a gentleman acquainted with the facts will tend to verify them. The facts Contained hi the aforesaid public Report verify my allegations. The gentleman referred to was a party concerned in an intended 4 , ssoCiation for working my patents in a part or Great Britain and on the Continent (the printed prospectus of which was laid before Mr. Clegg), in which he had agreed to become the en gineer. The latter gentleman to that end procured for Mr. Clegg a-letter of introduction to M. Mauginack, of Paris, and I gave -anGther letter of introduction to Baron Margurette, also of Paris, the object being to take measures to introduce the Pneumatic or 'Atmospheric Railway, and Mr. Clegg wrote to me, amongst other things, the following extracts " Paris, April 12, 1838. " M. Bonfil, Rue Caurnarten, No. 1. " Application must be made here to the Minister of Commerce, praying for a prolongation of time." " I must be informed of all particulars," &c. &c. " To get this done properly and in time, appears to me to be of considerable importance. I think this is the very country and time for such a scheme." " When you see the Samudas, tell them that business is pro gressing." " If I am rightly informed, your first patent is forfeited, which I am sorry for, as it appears to me of much snore consequence than your last for improvements. Your patents are of that importance, that nothing must be left to conjecture." (Signed) " SAMUEL CLEGG." My patents were not forfeited; the French Government had pro. longed the time for carrying the plan into effect. Extract of a letter from Jacob Samuda to me:—" It is my opi. nion that the drawings of the Pneumatic Engines would have been sufficient for execution coupled with such explanations as are always expected and given during the progress of such works. I make this remark because a general plan (and we seldom have anything else) never can contain the whole minutia., nor do we in general look to have that supplied us, applying to the inventor for any parts which the drawing does not sufficiently explain. (Signed) " JACOB SAMUDA," 1 may here add that one of the Samudas was present on the 31st of August, 1837, when the Committee of Inquiry was appointed by the Directors of the said Association, and was also present on the 20th of February, 1838, at a Meeting of Shareholders, when the said report was read and adopted. The transactions with Messrs. Sawuda is also mentioned in that report; they and Mr. Clegg had settled with me the specifications and estimates for completing the whole of the works, which estimates were laid before the said Board of Directors. It is impossible to carry a scientific projection into practical operation, without consulting confidentially the ma nufacturing engineers employed; every projector, therefore, is at the mere} of such persons, and necessarily dependent on their com mon honesty. So much for the denial of confidential employment. The contracts for works were with the Pneumatic Railway Am ciation ; the instructions relative to them exclusively with me. The copper valve that Messrs. Samuda allude to, was only one of several forms of valves, secured by my Letters Patent, to suit varied applications of the system in which Messrs. Samuda agreed . to become shareholders. As to the assertion that " Mr. Clegg's patent is different from any patent in existence," &c.—it was settled by Sir Frederick Polloek and Mr. R. Godson. The case laid before counsel was ex parte. Did Mr. Clegg tell them that what he called his invention he obtained the knowledge of from me, whilst confi dentially employed ? Did he lay my specifications before them ? If so, how did he procure them ? I hare ascertained . that no office copies have been obtained! but if they were before them they must have seen that the mere construction of a valve was but a small part of the combinations making up a new system, without which combination the principle applied cou'd not be carried into effect. Besides the copper valve, my specification describes another, t the which Messrs. Clegg and Samuda now use. It is described as made up of a combina. tion of prepared felt or other similar flexible material, with metal lic plates riveted thereto, forming a flexible valve which is at tached to one side of a continuous valve aperture, and under a raised surface, which protects the valve. On the other side of the valve aperture is a niche, in which is laid a:composition for sealing the valve. So were Clegg and Sainudas instructed, and so arc they using it. A dynamic traveller is firmly attached tc, and suspended from, the governor, to which isattached an expanding diaphragm, Moving in the main in close contact with the inner side, and placed in a particular position in advance of the governor, and the opening part of the flexible valve. A regulating wheel prevents the valve from •rising before the diaphragm, without which the air would enter and destroy the power. Another regulating wheel presses down the valve, to prepar.) the main for another train, without which no action could be obtained. In lieu of this latter wheel the gentlemen have ingeniously contrived to use a pressing bar, which performs the same operation ? Did Mr. Clegg inform Counsel that I sealed and unsealed the valve.aperture by a cemented joint and the application of heat ? Not by a warming pan, but by heating an electric wire, to soften the solid cement. This I have specified in my patent commenced about two years before his, procured, as .before stated, without no tice to me. Now, all this, with the exception of the warming pan, Messrs. Clegg and Samuda have the audacity to use on the line of railway near Kensington. They cannot omit any one of the aforesaid combinations, and obtain a practical operation of the system. Mr. Clegg is welcome to the tearming.pan . and his bees'. wax cement, but he must not use either in connexion with the aforesaid combination:, nor apply it to the Pneumatic Alain, combined with the common system of rail. way; and without those combinations I give him joy of his warm. ing•pan and beee-tpaz ! With regard to the opinion of one of the Counsel, Mr. Godson, who, on the day of public demonstration, asked me, in the presence of a friend, How I liked it?" I replied, " Well—because it was precisely mine, that he himself settled my specification for it." He observed, " Not for so fastening down the valve." 1 reminded him that he did, and quoted the words of my specification in respect of the valve made up of a combination of flexible material and me tallic plates; and attached to one side of the valve aperture. His reply was, "If you have specified that,:they cannot use this." Is Mr. Clegg's `• patent," therefore, different from any patent in ex. istenee ? And if my specifications contain the particulars herein stated, and the said Report verifies my letter of the 13th Instant, what is the proper estimate of the. truth or honesty of Messrs. Clegg and Sarnutia! I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, HENRY PINKUS. (Copy.) 3, Queen.street, Golden-square, June 18, 1840. hfy dear,Sir;• 7 l have Seen your letter in The Sun newspaper of the 16th instant, on the subject of Clegg's infringement of your invention. I have read Samuda!s reply, and your answer to it, dated the 16th. Having been well acquainted with the matters referred to for some years past, and having been present when the Report of the Shareholders was adopted ; having seen the documents referred to in your letters, and having procured the letter of introduction to M. Mauginack, of Paris, and knowing that Mr. Clegg was to be the Engineer of the intended Company, and that he was confidentially employed by you, I have no hesitation in saying that the state. ments contained in your letters are strictly true. Very truly yours, Henry Pinkus, Esq. WM. BOLLAERT. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY).

JAMES, of Birmingham, read the following Report on Church Discipline, as connected with slavery : The Committee to whom was teferred the paper of Mr. Godwin, " On the essential sinfulness of slavery," with instructions to pro pose resolutions thereon, taking the resolution of the Rev. Charles Stovel as the basis, take leave respectfully to recommend to the Convention the adoption of the following : Resolved—That the paper of the Rev. Benjamin Godwin, " Ozt the essential sinfulness of slavery," be recommended to the Com mittee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society for publi cation. Resolved—That it is the deliberate and deeply-rooted conviction of this Convention, which it thus publicly and solemnly expresses to the world, that slavery, in whatever form, or in whatever ceun try it exists, is contrary to the eternal and immutable principles of justice, and the spirit and precepts of Christianity, and is, there fore, a sin against God, which acquires additional enormity when committed by nations professedly Christians, and in an age when the subject has been so generally discussed, and its criminality so thoroughly exposed. ' Resolved—rhat this Convention cannot but deeply deplore the fact, that the continuance and prevalence of slavery are to be attributed in a great degree to the Committee, afforded by many Christian Churches, especially in the Western 'World ; which have not only withheld that public and emphatic testimouy against the crime which it deserves, but have retained in their communion, without censure, those by whom it is notoriously perpetrated. Resolved —That this Convention, while it disclaims the inten. tion or desire of dictating to Christian communities the terms of their fellowship, respectfully submit that it is their incumbent's duty to separate from their communion all those persons who, alter they have been faithfully warned in the spirit of the Gospel, continue in the sin of enslaving their fellow.creatures, or holding them in slavery --_a sin, by the camnaission of which, with what ever mitigating circumstances it may be attended is their own par. ticu'ar instance, they give the support of their own example to the whole system of compulsory servitude, and the unutterable horrors of the slave.trade. Resolved—That it be recommended to the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society to furnish copies of the above resolutions to the Ecclesiastical authorities of the various Christian Churches, in the name of the Convention, thioughout the world. The Report was received with cheers. The Rev. J. JOHNSTON,. in proposing the adoption of the Report, begged to read the following letter from Judge Jay, of New York, to J. G. Birney, Esq.—( Hear hear) : New York, March 28, 1840. MY DEAR Sul,— I have been favoured with your official notice of my appointment to represent the American Anti-Slavery So ciety, in the General Anti-Slavery Conference of Delegates from different parts of the a orld, to be held in London in June next. Please, sir, to present to the Committee of your Society my ac knowledgments for this mark of their confidence, and assure them of the high gratification it would afford me to unite in council with the philanthropists of various climes and nations for the abo lition of slavery and the slave trade. But there are domestic and other duties which have a paramount claim on my time, and which deny me the pleasure of accepting the appointment with which I have been honoured. You will, I am confident, excuse me if, on an occasion like the present, I take the liberty of offering a few suggestions for the consideration of the Committee. The, proposed Conference may, and I trust will, in various ways exercise a most salutary influence on the abolition question generally, without in the least interfering with the sovereignty and independence of the several nation's to which its members belong; No American in that body could, with propriety, sanction measures in any way derogatory to the rights of his own Government; and I have no apprehension that any such measures will be proposed. The action of the Conference is to be of a moral nature, an 4 its influence is to he that of OPINION. This is an age in which Go vernments, as well as individuals, are amenable to PUBLIC OPINION, whether foreign or domestic. We ourselves have been instrumental in commencing a mighty temperance reform in Great Britain, and have received the thanks of the present youthful and interesting occupant of the Throne, for placing our publication in her hands. May the people of Great Britain reciprocate our good offices, by uniting with the intended Conference in bringing the opinion of Europe to press heavily upon American slavery. There are various ways in which this may be legitimately effected. I will only allude to the influence the Conference may exert through the Church in this country. That the American Church is the great buttress of American slavery is a fact no less certain than it is deplorable. The great mass of our clergy seem to acknowledge, in relation to this sub ject, the impious maxim, " `Sox populi, nox Dei." You know that in 1835, the slave-holders of Charleston, after sacking the Post-office, and burning the anti-slavery publications found in it, voted at a public meeting their thanks "to the Reverend Gentle men of the Clergy who have so promptly and so effectually re sponded to the public sentiments, by suspending their schools in which the free coloured population were taught, and that this meeting deem it a patriotic action worthy of all praise, and proper to be imitated by the other teachers of similar schools throughout the State." And so theseministers of the Lord Jesus Christ, crouching before a wicked and cruel public sentiment, tamely relinquished a right con ferred on them by the laws of God and man, and expelled from their Sunday schools all their pupils with black skins, literally driving these lambs of their dock out of the Church, to perish among the world's bleak moor. Among the various denominations which are distinguishest for their earnest endeavours to " keep abolition out of the Church," and' caste and slavery in it, that to which I myself belong, the Pre. testant Episcopal Church, holds a prominent, but I rejoice to say, not the chief place. I beg leave to ask your attention to some facts respecting this Church, for a purpose to be presently stated. Bishop Bowen, of Charlestown, South Carolina, fully partaking of the spirit of " the Reverend Gentlemen of the Clergy" of that city, volunteered, not long offer the meeting already mentioned, in an address to the Convention of his diocese, a denunciation of the " malignant philanthropy of abolition," and contrasted " the savageism and outlawry consequent on abolition, with " do mestic sere itude under the benign influence of Christian principles and Christian institutions l"—principles and institutions which denied Sunday School instruction to free coloured children, and which, at the very time of the Address, tolerated the offer in the Charleston Courier of fifty dollars for the head of a fugitive slave—principles and institutions which led Mr. Preston to declare in his place as Senator of the United States, " Let an abolitionist come within the borders of South Carolina—if we can catch him we will hang him." Against the savageism and outlawry of slavery the good Bishop did not think it expedient to raise his voice. In 1826, a clergyman in North Carolina, of the name of Free roan, preached, in the presence of his Bishop, two sermons on the rights and duties of slaveholders. In these he essayed to justify, from the Bible, the slavery both of white men and of negroes, and insisted that without a new revelation from Heaven no man was authorized to pronounce slavery wrong; and that while masters 'ought to instruct their slaves in religion, it was not necessary to teach them to read the Bible. The sermons were printed in a pamphlet, prefaced with a letter to Freeman from the Bishop of North Caro lina, declaring that he had "listened wiih most unfeigned pleasure" to his discourses, and advised their publication as being " urgently called for at the present time." This ex.cathedra proclamation of the divine right of slaveholders must have been exceedingly grateful to the owners of haman chattels throughout the diocese, and tended strongly to attach them to the Episcopal Church. This high and authoritative sanction of slavery was too important to be enjoyed exclusively by a single diocese. "The Protestant Episcopal " Society for the advancement of Christianity in South Carolina" thought it expedient, and unquestionably. with Bishop Bowen's ap probation, to republish Freeman's pamphlet as a religious tract! Thus did these Carolina Churchmen seek to advance Christianity by fortifying an institution which, by converting human beings into merchandise, opens a market for the sale of men, women, and children, necessarily annihilates marriage, abrogates the rights of conscience, seals up the volume of inspiration, and practically establishes Heathenism among about one-third of the whole popu. lation of the slave States. That the Church in the North is far from guiltless of countenancing and fostering the abominations of desolation, is evident from two striking facts, among others : first, that the Bishop of North Carolina, who so gratuitously and unqua lifiedly endorsed Freeman's sermons, is a native of New York, and hail only removed to the South a few years before; and secondly, from the course pursued by the New York Churchman. This periodical is edited by a Doctor of Divinity, late an instructor in our theological seminary, and it enjoys the especial patronage of the Bishop of this diocese, and was recently officially recommended by him to the favour of the Convention. Yet has the editor fre quently assailed the abolitionists in his columns in bitter and contemptuous terms. He has even volunteered to defend the most cruel and iniquitous enactment of the Slave Code. In reference to the legal prohibition of teaching the coloured population to read, the editor says—" All the knowledge which is necessary to salvation, all the knowledge of our duty toward God, and our duty toward our neighbour, may be communicated by oral instruction, and therefore a law of the land interdicting other means of in struction does not trench upon the law of God." That is, be cause a blind man may acquire a knowledge of Christian truth, provided he has kind friends with intelligence and leisure to in. struct him , therefore it is no violation of God's law to say to three millions of our fellow-countrymen, " Ye shall NOT search the Scriptures." No impiety in Southern legislators to shroud in dark. ness the souls of nearly one-third of their population ! You know we are often rebuked for our agitation by the assurance that the preaching of the Gospel is the legitimate and effectual instrument fur destroying slavery ; but surely the poor slaves have small cause to look for their emancipation from the Gospel, when preached by such men as those I have now mentioned. It is riot, however, the slave alone, who finds In the Episcopal Church Right Reverend and other apologists of his wrongs. The persecuted and despised free man of colour feels his degradation both sanctioned and deepened by members of the same Church. I am credibly informed that a certain congregation in this diocese holds its cemetery by a tenure which forbids the interment of any coloured person ; so that if an episcopal coloured clergymen happen to die in that parish, he would be indebted to others than his Christian brethren for a grave! But what is this indignity to the lifeless Ten:Lairs of a fellow man to the insult offered in the name of the whole Church, by the Trus tees of the Theological Seminary, to every coloured disciple of the Redeemer? You are aware that I allude to the formal deliberate exclusion of Mr. Cumraell, a candidate for holy orders, from the Seminary, solely and avowedly on account of his dark complexion! But this is not all. There are instances of regularly ordained Ministers, Rectors of Parishes, men having as valid a commission to preach the Gospel as any other Presbyters in our Church, who are virtually denied .s seat in our Ecclesiastical Councils, solely be. cause they are not of the orthodox hue. The Rector of a coloured Church in Philadelphia is excluded by an express canon of the Diocesan Convention. My object in troubling you with these details is to show the pro priety of taking measures to bring fully before the London Con. ference the action of the Episcopal Church in behalf of slavery and of caste. Would it not be well for the Committee to cause all the publi.„ cations relative to Mr. Curnmell's exclusion from the Seminary, to gether with Freeman's sermons, and the recommendatory letter of his Bishop, to be laid before that body ? These documents may then, through the printed proceedings of the Conference, be brought to the consideration of the British and Irish Bishops, and of the Divines generally of the Established Church. No portion of our whole community is so sensitive to fo reign influence as is the Episcopal Church here to the opinion of the Church of England. The reception here given to the Oxford Theology fully confirms this assertion. From the documents I have mentioned the Established Church would learn with asto. nishment the conduct of her daughter ; and be assured that all the reproofs of American abolitionists will fall powerless on the ears of the daughter, compared with the reproaches of the soother. Let the doors of the Archiepiscopal Palace of Lambeth be closed against pra.slavery Bishops and Clergymen from this country ;—let the Oxford divines refuse to acknowledge as true churchmen, men who would measure the rights of an Ambassador of Jesus Christ, by the tincture of his skin, and we shall have no more decrees from our Bishops and Clergy, forbidding a coloured candidate for orders from listening to a theologicaldecture in the same room with you n g gentlemen of high caste. No more exclusion of coloured Clergy men from our Conventions—no more Episcopal sanctions of sla very. In justice to myself permit me to observe, that in my opinion, the Clergy have full right to decide for themselves on the expe diency of joining an A nti.slavery Association ; and that it also be.. longs to them to determine how and when they will bear their tes timony against the pollutions and abominations of slavery. But I do hope that the intended Conference will bring down upon such as are guily the censure of the Christian world for their wanton and gratuitous perversion of their sacred office in vindicating, as the ministers of a holy and merciful God, such a stupendous system of iniquity and cruelty as American slavery; and for giving their high and official sanction to the most 1 revolting form in which the wicked prejudice against colour exhibits itself; in insulting and degrading the Christian ministry, and in erecting the barrier of ca.te in the churches of Mu who was all. EVENING EDITioN. iointed to preach the Gospel to tha poor, and sent to heal t l ' c broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recove r, ' of sight to the blind—to set at liberty them that are bruised. I rejoice to know that there are bishops and clergymen in the Episcopal Church to whom my remarks have no application, and also that this Church, as a whole, has been less active in defending slavery than several others. Those others, I trust, will not be for gotten by the Committee. Let their conduct on this subject be made known to the London Conference, and through it to the world. I anticipate very salutary results from bringing upon the pro slavery Church of this country the reproaches of Christendom. 1 Regarding, as I do, the Christian ministry as one of the best and greatest gifts of God to a fallen world, most thankful shalt I be to foreign Ch r i stians for their efforts to awaken our clergy ' to the great truth, t h at i t i s their holy office to promote love, and peace, and righteousn ess among men; and that they most grievously mis take their mi ss i on when, in the name of their Divine Master, they pronounce his benediction on the bondage, ignorance, and degrada. tiou of any portion of the human famiiv. I am, my dear Sir, Yours very truly, WILLIAM JAY. To James G. Birney, Esq., Corrc.s.spouding Secretary of the American Anti-Slavery Society. The Rrv. Grxrr.rlta NT said he was horrified to find that a pretence had been made of Scripture sanction for slavery, when the Apostle expressly included '" man-slayers " and " man stealers ' alike in his catalogue of crimes. —(Hear, hear.) Let the authorities of the Episcopal Church' discountenance those of her ministers whe dared to countenance such a system.— ( Cheers,) Let the doors o f the Arch-Episcopal Palace of Can terbury be closed to the :Lvery-sanctioning dignitaries of the Church that might come. from America.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He for one would not hold out the right hand of fellowship to the owner of a slave—( Laud cheering)—and if his Bishop were to do so, he would say, " No, my Lord."—( Tremendous eheerine.) J. G. BIRNEY, Esq. begged to state that the Judge Jay, the author of the letter, was the son of a most illustrious individual of the name, and the friend of Washington, and both father and son had been eminent abolitionists.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. COLTER, in supporting the adoption of the report, said, to extend any species of protection to slave own ership was to go as far as a slave owner desired ; for the vice of slavery was inherent in itself; it was impossible to introduce any essential mollifications into slavery ; the poisonous principle of the absolute, positive proprietetship and mastery of the owner could not be relinquished, or the slave cease to be such ; even the education of slaves was impossible, for the enlighten ment was incompatible with slavery ; with such a system, therefore, there could be no compromise ; there must be an unconditional denouncement of its supporters; their entire se paration from Church fellowship:—it must be amended, it must be abolished,—( cheers. ) .._ .... Dr. G REVILLE said he rose to propose an amendment to one clause of the resolution, which he hoped Would meet the views of the Convention. It was his'opinion that where Church dis cipline could be exercised against this sin it ought to be exer cised ; but since in his own Church this could not be done, he thought it desirable to propose sueh a resolution as should operate strongly on all Christian Churches. (The Learned Gentleman then proposed an amendment.) Some discussion arose as to this being the proper period for moving an amendment, after which J. gTANDEIELD, Es . q.. of Belfast, said that, as a member of the Church of England, he rose with mixed feelings of pleasure at the_christian sentiments which had been expressed by Mr. Johnson, and of shame—and, if he might say so, of indignation —against his brethren of th e Epi scopa l Ch urch of America, for lending their sanction to the abomination of slavery.__ ( Hear, hear.) He anticipated great good from the publication of the letter of Mr. Jay they had that morning heard, and he trusted they would be roused by it to greater exertions than they had hitherto 'made. He was sorry his brethren of the Protestant Church of Ireland had been so slow in coming forward on this subject. 'On one occasion he had spoken to a distinguished member of that Church at the period of the agitation of the Apprenticeship system, and who said he knew nothing of the question, upon which he (Mr. Mansfield) supplied him with documents, on perusing' which he said h e h a d no id e a t h at suc h crimes could be perpetrated under that system. He thought he had made a convert of him, but a few days after, on waiting on him with a. learned friend to ask him to take part in an anti-slavery meea ng , he declined, and on his friend saying, then he supposed h e would have the apprenticeship system die a natural death, he answered in the affirmative, Another gentleman of his assquaintance in Ireland adMitted slavery to be a bad thing, but because Lord Brougham andj Mr. O'Connell had taken part against it, refused to do anything with them for its abolition. He, there fore approved of the resolutions being as strong as they could be made, for the purpose of shaming ministers of the English and American Episcopal Churches. —( Hear, hear.) . The Rev. THOMAS BIENEY said he had carefully looked into the Greek Testament since he made the observations which had the misfortune to be so unfavourably received on Saturday, and he was still as much convinced, as of any truth in religion, that there were owners of slaves in the primitive Chumnes. But though this was conviction, he yet held it, in connection with the considerations that induced him to give his ',,upport to the resolutions—(Cheers)—becaus e he believed Is e could do so without involving Christianity in slavery. Hq believed there were persons in the early Christian Churches who had two wives, but he did not believe there were officers in those Churches who had. The law of Moses was directed to the mitigation of the evil thing, and we were not to draw a sanction of the thing from it. Re, therefore, thought these resolutions took the proper grounsl, and he should give his sup port to them.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. lionnssors, of Kettering, and Mr. BRAHRORN, of Mos sachussetts, also intimated that they concurred in theresolu tions, for the reasons now brought forward. Rev. Dr. HORY, of Birmingham, said some of his friends would perhaps think he was desirous of exposing himself to observation, but he could assure them he felt himself bound in conscience to offer one or two observations before he could consent to give a vote on the subject then before the meeting. He agreed with Mr. Binney as to many of the terms used in Scripture, and as to the facts mentioned by him ; but he felt an insuperable objection to the words " sin against God," in reference to what was by and by to be proposed—the act of excommunication by the Church. He conceived they were not there to discuss the terms of communion in the Christian Church—he thought they did not sufficiently recognise the principle of each others' sects for that--the Church of Christ was not a legislative, but •an executive body, and therefore he held it was beyond their prerogative to decide as to what was sin against God, when they knew, or when, at least, many of them believed, that slavery existed most mysteriously in the primitive Churches, tolerated by apostolical authority—( No, no.) He had heard slave-owners themselves say there were many difficulties in the way of emancipating the slaves—(Laughter) —and that it was on that principle alone that they still held property in man.—( Oh, oh !) Under these circumstances he hoped they would withdraw from the resolu. tion the words sin against God. no.) Nevertheless, he held to hold man in property was a sin against God, and he was'sure it was incompatible with Christianity.—(Lo u d cheers, and laughter.) He would vote for a resolution recommending to the Church a rigid discipline, but he could not vote that sla very was a sin against God, if it were to be applied to Chris tian Churches—(Oh, oh. ) The Cumaltax said that Dr. Hoby, not having moved any amendment, he hoped there would be no further discussion on the subject. Rev. CoLvita said that would be quite unnecessary, Dr. Hoby having completely answered Dr. Hoby.—( Laughter. ) Rev. Henry GREW wished to say a word as to the posi tion of himself and his American brethren in the Convention. They did not come there to calumniate their beloved country —but as sons whose mother was diseased, seeking a remedy.— His country, like the man who fell among thieves, was wounded by the monster slave-owners, and ready to die; I and they came seeking for those who would act the part of the good Samaritan ; and while their own priests passed by on the other side, to receive healing from those whose hearts were open to the cause of humanity throughout the world. The Rey. Gentleman was proceeding to discuss the Resolu tion, when he was called to order, the Resolution having been regularly proposed to the meeting. The Amendment having been put Rev. .1. YOUNG rose to second the amendment. He felt himself placed in a false position—innocently, he was surd; on the part of the speakers—by the course of the remarks which had been made. He referred to the mover and seconder of the original resolutions, a nd h e w i s h e d i t to b e understood that though he opposed the 4th resolution, he did not oppose their speeches, to every word o f w hi c h h e could say Amen. But he thought their speeches did not support their conclusions. With regard to the sin of slavery, he would go as far as any member of the Convention; and as a member of a Chiistian Church he would say all, and more than all, if it were possible, that had been advanced in regard to conduct so unscriptural, as that of a member of a Christian Church holding men as property. They had met there as Christians, holding the Bible to be the work of God, and it was perfectly competent to say that slavery was a sin against God and totally inconsistent ith the prin ciples and precepts of the New Testament. It was a well known fact that every member of the community was a mem ber of the Church of England ipso facto, and that he could not legally be excluded from the communion. There were slight shades of differences of opinion in reference to the terms of the Church communion—indeed in reference to all Churches, and the Convention had no right to take upon itself to pronounce what were or what were not proper terms of Christian communion. —(Hear, hear.) In the remarks that tell from the Rev, Gentleman who seconded the original resolution he entirely concurred. He admired his piety and courage in coming forward as a member of the Church of England, and stating what he did. The reason he approved of the amendment was that it pronounced the sin as being utterly inconsistent with Christianity ; but at the same time he did not interfere with Churches in pronouncing what were or what were not their terms of communion. All the good they sought would be gained by that strong expression of general opinion.—(Cries of " No, no.") He looked upon it that if there was an unconstitutional and an improper interference with the rights of Churches, it was more apt to irritate than to do good. In some communities he thought the effect would bet that it would ,irritate. He deplored the state of the Churches in America, and if they were in the state that had been re presented, the resolution proposed woul , el N b n e , o n f n. n ,, o ) more goood than the idle wind. —(C r i es of , Churches must be enlighte ne d, an d although he could net con cur in the propriety of interfering with their terms of com munion, yet he agreed that great good might be gained from addressing them. He begged to second the amendment. The Rev. HENR.; GREW would occupy the assembly but a few moments. While he maintained that holding a fellow being as property was in all cases sinful, he denied that persons were so held in the Christian Church, and it behoved him who paid it was consistent to hold in the fellowship of the Christian Church , L man who claimed property in his fellow-being to prove that the cases the Apostle referred to were of that specific kind. —( Hear, hear.) The burthen of proof lay upon him who used that argument ; but he contended that the eternal prin t pies of righteousness—the precepts of the New. Testament, and all its purity and love, were opposed to the unrighteous principle of holding property in a fellow -being.—(Hear, hear.) 'They all knew there were in ancvnt times different e 'Le t ] y t a t w r °as n that could im e C n h ._ ure ( h H t e h a o r l ( s ( ; i n i e c ffi g i r e s e i e e c s n h t a ci f r f e a r e ' e t h e r t a u t ' 6 d i otherss—a ythe re hadofv were e i.e ve milder r l ay"ets' er ne o n character antheextnt r ; a to abolish, and, therefore, produce evidence that thes h e e ca t s i e n s m t g ve h r t e t o h f e t y h the toknidndehne tenable their of the f l T w oly - The Rev. Mr. BURNETT thought the original resolutions as ;%rirl o ,n un h d ad in el r ai ef in us e i d ng sn t e o h t p h r e e f p e e l r lo ty w fellowship they stood ought to be accepted by the meeting. The amend tent which their Worthy Friend had proposed would defeat the very end he himself had in view. They would find that many individuals would shelter themselves under the am en d_ ment , which had a qualification about it that the original re. solution was free from.—(Hear, hear.) It might be ; said some Churches were so constituted ( an d t h e amend - ticipated th me'At at)lthat they could not a c t lik e other Cl-oiran ches, but if he was a true 'Anti-slavery m an , and belie -red that slavery was a sin against God, that was a sinful ch arch that sanctioned slavery, and he must leave it.—(Louil cheers.) Any other sin might be taken up by a Church, or it might place it self by its constitution in such a position as not to visit that sin by its discipline. Was he to be allowed tit say " Here was one sin—slavery ; there another, and ago! tier, and the Church he belonged to was so constituted that it could pot visit those sins. If it was so constituted then he must seek a body that had the favour of its own protection.—( Hear, hear.) He gave his Honourable Friend credit for being possessed or, as much of the•anti-slavery principle a s hi mself, but he thought his Hoa. Friend had been mistaken in supposing that it would do good in those churches that were so constituted as to be prevented from doing good.--( Hear, hear.) It would be a severe impu tation to say there was any crime which the Christian Churtr
