CONFIDANCE IN THE GOVERNMENT. A large and influential meeting of the electors of the City of London, comprising merchants, bankers, traders, and others, was held yesterday afternoon at the Guildhall —the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presiding—" to take into consideration the decision recently come to by the House of Commons, relative to the affairs at Canton, and to express its high confidence in her Majesty's Government." Long before two o'clock, the hour for commencing the business of the meeting, the hall was densely crowded. The interval between the assembling of the electors and the commencement of the business of the meeting Was devoted to the usual ebulitions of popular feeling on such occasions as these. The names of the favourites on the popular side of the question were loudly cheered, whilst those on the opposite side were received with groans, hisses, and other unmistakeable tokens of dis approbation. The whole being interspersed with a variety of songs of liberty, the Marseillaise Hymn being the favourite, the strains of which rever berated through the vaulted ball, to the surprise and astonishment of those sober guardians of the building --Gog and Magog. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived, and was loudly cheered. He was accompanied by Messrs. Raikes Carrie (candidate), J. Dillon, Crawford (candi date), Sergeant Ballantine, W. J. Hall, Deputy Dakin, Oliveira, Edwin James, Q.C., Sheriff Keats, Alderman Wire, Whitehurst, Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P. (can didate), and other gentlemen of influence. The LORD MAYOR, in opening the business of the leading, said that be had called it at the request of 800 electors of the City. Hecalled on them to give all an im partial hearing. The reading of the object of the meet ing was received with mingled expressions of approval and disapprobation. Mr. Menus Crawls, M.P., then came forward amid some confusion (principally caused by some 20 or 30 roughs" stationed in front of the platform). The hon. gentleman said that, often as the citizens of London had met in their ancient hall, he believed they bad seldom *asembled on any occasion when the best interests of the country were more deeply at stake than at the present moment, for, as he understood the question, they were met, not to glorify any man or any Minister, however able and successful he might be, but the great question proposed to the sound understanding and practical com mon sense of the people of London was this—whether, having had a Government which had redeemed the dis asters of the late war, which bad brought that war to a conclusion under most difficult circumstances—which had established an honourable peace, and under which, no matter what its merits cr demerits might be, the country was now flourishing—(cheers, and cries of "No, no")--that Government was entitled to the confidence of the country. (Cheers, and cries of "No, no ; there are plenty of working men starving.") He assured those persons who cried " no," that if they were unemployed he was extremely sorry for it, for he bad always the good of the working classes at heart. He bad often addressed large masses of the working men of the country, and he would not have been on the plat form that day but for them, for he was utterly unknown when, some 20 years ago, in proposing Mr. G. Groteas one of the members for the City, he had uttered senti ments which touched the hearts of the working men of Northampton, and they had asked him to represent them in Parliament. He acquiesced, and if any one who heard him would go to Northampton and ask wbat his cia racter was, he thought they would get an answer which would satisfy them that he was not insensible to the wants of the deserving, industrious, and unemployed poor. He was one of those who, at this moment, was endeavouring, with the aid of persons more influential than himself to make another bridge to high-paid labour in distant colonies, where the thews and sinews of men 'were estimated at their full value, and where, if they would be frugal, a compe'euce awaited every man. He was prepared to maintain, notwithstanding the cry of " No," that with few exceptions the commerce of the country was thriving. In a ldition to this, the Govern ment had premised large reductions of expenditure, and they bad taken off the " war 9d." (A vuic3—" 'feat don't affect us ;" and another—" Yes it does, you fool r) Now the question be would put to the meeting was, " Will you disturb everything ? Wdl you upset the ex isting Government ? (Cries of No, no ; Palmerston fur ever ; three groans for Lurd J. Russell.) They all knew that the sense of the country had already given its ver dict on the matter. If the good old Duke had been alive nothing would have been heard of this question. He embodied in his own mind thecommoo sense of England and his maxim was, " Choose the best men you can for difficult positions, and when you have honestly chosen them, honestly support them." ((Alters.) T,:e head and front of the Government offence was, that they ad endeavoured to support a man who was tent a distance of 15,000 miles to represent the interests] of England, and upon whom the greatest re-pousibiiity was thrown. The Government were no more responsible fur the un fortunate events in Gains, than he wa', or any other man in that hall. They had heard a great deal of abuse about S.r J. Bowring. He knew something of that gentleman from having sat with him for malty years in Parliament, and he believed it would be impossible to find a more ferbearng man, or one lees likely to provoke hostilities with a friendly people. The people of En g land had a great deal to do with this question. If Sir J. BJwrieg tied an aristocratic name, or was the youeger sea of some great ducal family, with ind ientiat political con xions, very little woutd have been heard of this mat ter. But Sir J. Bowring was a man of the people ; he sprang from the people, and he was sent to Parliament by working men as the disciple of Bentham, whose poli tical doctrine was " the greatest happiness for the great est number." (Cheers.) Such was Dr. Bowring, and fie appealed to an assembly of Englishmen, who boasted Maui:Haves of their Lye of fair play—(hear)—whether they would turn round and crus'a those whose only oi• fence was supporting the man whom they believed to be incapable of an unjust or cruel act. (Hear.) He asked them again whither they wished to throw the Govern ment overboard in order that they might dive down dark - waters for the chance of picking up a 'other 3 (Cheers.) 'Would they have Lord Derby ? (No, no) Lord Derby Lad told them that he could not take the Government— <" We don't want him")—for that, without Lord Pal merston and Lord Clarendon, be could sot form an Ad ministration. (Hear.) Or would they like to see a coalition—(no, no)—and Gladstone, Sidney Herbert, and the small, but talented, band of Peedtes forming an Ad ministration I (No, and great uproar.) Tie boo. gentle man concluded by moving the following resolution : " That Lord Palmerston having undertaken the Go vernment of this country under circumstances of ex treme difficulty, and in the crisis of a great war which he successfully carried to the issue of an honourable peace is entitled to the thanks of the country, and hav ing by an adverse vote of the House of Commons been, in fact, censured for his policy in reference to the pro ceedings at Canton—this meeting feels called upon to express its conviction that from the position of affairs in China and the past proceedings there, no other course was fairly open to a British statesman, or was compat ible with safety to the property and lives of our fellow countrymen in that quarter, and with the honour and dignity of the nation." Mr. J. DILLON, in seconding the resolution, observed that peacauaakors and placehunters had united to put the Government in a position of great difficulty. Of the peacemakers he would say that they were no doubt honourable, crotchety, and well-meaning men ; but every one knew that " well-meaning people" produced a world of mischief. (Hear.) Now, one word with re spect to the placehunters, who had supported the peace makers with the view of taming out the Administration. The real question for the country was, not Sir John Bowling, but Lord Palmerston. (Hear, hear.) It was not Commissioner Yell, but the Earl of Derby, (We don't want him.) The China question was passed and gone, and the real question now was whether the coun try would prefer to see Lord Palmerston in power or see him supplanted by Lord Derby. (No, no.) Teat was the question, and no other. Let those who were for L;rd Palmerston hold up their hands. (An immense majority of the meeting responded to the call amid loud cheers.) That which had taken place in China was not a separate tact, but part of a system which had been in vogue for the last 20 years. Lord Palmerston had not originated that system, but, if Lord Darby were in office to-morrow, he would support it. It was impossible nut to lament the late hostilities at Canton, but there was no British statesman with a brain to think, and a heart to feel, who could refuse his support to the course adopted by Lord Palmerston. (Cheers.) A great deal bad been said of the traffic in opium, and of the tribute of silver, but he asked whether, if Lord Darby were in power, would prohibit the opium trade, or wh e th er , if Mr. Gladsto ne were in o ffi ce, he would ret urn th e s il ver the tribute to Chinese. (Cer ta i n ly no t.) N o , th ey would n o t, and their conduct in division the late was only th e dishonest trick of a party to get into office, andtcthheeecristi (Cheers .) T he of London ought to resist it to a man. work and wanted employment.

He (Mr. Dillon) asked the citizens of e L w o a n y : • doe whether they were prepared to abandon the bet interests of the nation in order to bring a l ot of men into power who were only hungering after place t (No, no.) Lord Palmerston was a man about whom there was a great difference of opinion ; but if the country wished to make him a reformer to their mind, let them return reformed Parausnent, and depend upon it Lord Palmer ston would nut he unwilling to lead it. (Loud cheers.) Let them remember that, whatever the noble lord's an tecedents were, be bad performed one act at least to entitle him to the thanks of the people of England. At a moment of great peril, when the reputation of the country was at stake (mad the reputation of England was more precious than her wealth), Lord Palmerston inter• posed, carr i e d on the war with vigour, and concluded it with a glorious and honourable p eace. (Loud cheers.) Whatever mi g ht b e said to the contrary, there was no denying the truth of the assertion, that, during the lain war, Lord Palmerston had shown the wisdom of a states,- man and the vigour of a man. (Rear, hear.) He (Mr. Dillon) therefore called upon the citizens of London to show an example to the country, by resisting the incur sions of those European Chinamen, who had boarded the vessel of the State, dragged down the flag of the Empire, massacred the character of our envoys in distant coun tries, and poisoned the food of the people. (Cheers.) Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY said the question which the meeting had to decide was one of progress or no progress. Ile wished to remind the country that we had a home policy as well as a foreign policy, and that while we felt grateful to Lord Palmerston for the ability and energy with which he had brought the Russian war to a conclusion, there were other men, other features, in the conduct of the war which proved the incapacity of the official system under which the country was governed. Lord Palmer. ston was a member of the Government, and remained in it during the dreary period of the war, when the most terrible disasters occurred to the army. (Uproar and cries of " Off.") Of the 30,000 soldiers who fell in the Crimea, 20,000 died of disease and the direct results of cold and starvation, while Balaklava was full of clothing and food, which were kept from the famishing troops by the incompetence of those who were entrusted with the discharge of important duties. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) He declared that corruption was as rampant among the governing classes of this country as ever, and the coun try must tell Lord Palmerston that, if he expected the people to support him, he must be faithful to them. The conduct of the Government with reference to Sir John M'Neill and Col. Tulloch was not such as to in spire the country with confidence ; and as for Lord Pal merston, he defied any one to prove that the noble lord had ever exhibited any anxiety to pass measures for the substantial welfare of the people. (Confusion, and a voice, " What of Lord Derby ?") They might depend upon it there would be no fear of Tory principles getting the upper hand, if the people would be but . true to themselves. He believed that at no period of the his tory of this country was there more wealth among the higher classes than at this moment, or more poverty among the poor. (Hear.) Mr. Morley concluded, amid great upoar, by moving the following amendment : "That this meeting detests Bureauacy, whi c h i s con tinental despotism, of which Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, is the director. That this system has been acted on by Lord Palmerston's Government, and is closely connected with, and dependent on, the Episcopal Church of the land; and because this church is the rallying point for jobbing corruptionists and centralising tyrants, increases taxation, and is one of the causes of 'the pre sent awful state of society, this meeting declares its belief that it is the bounden duty of every one to exert all constitutional means to sever the Church from the State, and will vote for no man at the ensuing elec tion that will not give this pledge." Mr. GASSIOT seconded the amendment, and recom mended the meeting to be firm, and only return such men to the House of Commons as would secure a re formed Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman ROSE supported the original motion amidst great uproar, and expressed his opinion that if consuls and commanders were to be sent to distant countries with difficult and important missions, the Go vernment and the country were bound to support them in their exertions to maintain the honour and dignity of the British flag. (Cheers.) Mr. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., who was received with much apparent good feeling, said an appeal was about to be made to the country on the decision of the House of Commons, and the city of London, as the foremost con stituency of that great empire, was called upon to record its feelings as to whether Lord Palmerston had the con fidence of this country or not. (Loud cheers, uproar, and cries of "Yes 1") It was natural that in the course of such a discussion as had taken place that day some of the topics introduced should have been discursive and at large from the question at issue, but nevertheless he would venture shortly upon their patience in addressing i to them a few remarks in support of the original reso lution. (Much cheering.) The amendment which had been moved by his friend Mr. Morley was one which none could dissent from, and it affirmed an abstract pro position of the principle of which he was himself a sup porter, and which he was glad to see Mr. Morley had supported so long and energetically ; but still it was quite consistent that the orignal resolution, expressing the entire confidence of the public in Lord Palmerston at this juncture, should be preferred to any abstract proposition, however laudable in itself. It was not a question, as his friend Mr. Morley had put it, whether or not Lord Palmerston was to hold the Ministry for ever —the question really was, whether that meeting con sidered that Lord Palmerston had disgraced himself ? (Loud cries of " No, no 1") Was it a disgrace to have upheld the national honour against a deliberate insult of fered to the British flag ? The matter had been fully discussed by all the lawyers of the House of Commons, and each had made a case according to his own political views. (Cheers.) But it was notes question of law, but of common sense and feeling. (Cheers.) Did any man in his own heart doubt for a moment but that that bar barian Yeh bad offered an intentional insult to the Bri tish flag I (Cheers.) That was his motive, and he hail suoceeled in it ; and was it not a miserable quibble of his apologists to talk of the colonial register of the lorcha having expired ? Ha Chinaman knocked down an Eng lish merchant, and the latter sought redress, would it be considered any excuse for the Chinese to say that the man he so assaulted was a Portuguese, on the ground that though he had traded and bought and sold with him as an Englishman, yet that there was a flaw in the regi-terol his baptism, and so he would consider him a Portuguese while he attacked him ? (Laughter and cheers ) People spoke of the opprea,ion of Palmerston's policy, but he would like to know what war Lord Palmerston had ever commenced ? Lord Pelmerston, at least, was actuated by a jealous sense of the national honour, which had certainly not been the case either with the Earl of Aberdeen or Gladstone. What was his conduct with regard to France in 1840, when M. Thiers was French Minister, and anxious to pick a quarrel with England, and he asked for the remains of the greatest captain that had ever lived, Napoleon, to be carried back to France I What was Lord Palmerston's answer to that request when be gave his consent ? "That he trusted the animositiee which had , e) long divided France and &gland would be buried in the same grave ; " and from that date bad commenced the good feeling winch had continued to increase till it led to the strict alliance which joined the two countries at the present day. Lord Palmerston's pol.cy had never been an aggressive one. (Cheers, and cries of "No," and " Yes," and great uproar.) At this very name the despotic Cid ,urts of Europe trembled—(great cheering)— and tie (Mr. James) could imagine tee joy and exulta tion which hailed the division of the House of Commons, brought about by one of the most unprincipled political combinations that ever existed. (Caeers, and cries of "No ') He could imagine the exultation of such Courts as that of Prussia, which craved to surprise and deep .11 Switzerland—a Court like that of Russia, with her sleep less gaze always directed to the frontiersot India. Those despotic Courts, however, might withhold their exults. Lion for the present, as ho believed the verdict of the English people would not endorse the decision of the House of Commons. (Tremendous cheering.) He, bow ever, quite agreed with the principle of Mr. Morley's amendment, and thought that every Minister, even Lord Palmerston, should be told that he must go with, the stream of social and political progress, and he trusted soon to see his lordship at the head of such& strong Liberal ma j nity as would compel him to do so. He trusted to see in such a case the working classes better cared for—(rnuch cheering)—and thefranchise liberally extended, (Cheers.) If Lord Palmerston was not chosen, whom were they to look to ? Did they wish to have Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli sitting in the same Cabinet wish Gladstone, Aberdeen, and Lord John Russell ? (Groans, and cries of "No, no 1") Let them look at the question thus, and recollect, if they did not have Lord Palmerston, whom they would have to take instead. No one wanted Lord Palmerston for ever; but all required him for this juncture, for the keeping of the national honour was safe with him. (Cheers.) For such reasons he called upon the city of London to come forward and give an example to the rest of the constituency, and lead them to place confidence iu a statesman who had never de serted their interests. (Great cheering, which was con tinued for some time, with calls for the resolution to be put.) The LORD MAYOR then put the amendment, for which some 20 or 30 hands were held up. The original motion was then put, and carried by an overwhelming majority, amid loud and continued cheers for Lord Palmerston. The Loan MAYOR declared the original resolution carried. Mr. R. W. CBAWFORD observed that he came there ° Pa as one of the merchants of the ci ty o f L on d on, d eep l y interested in the questions engaging public attention, to express the feelings be entertained with reference to the 1 1 great political contest about to take place. Whatever ! might be the opinion of the meeting with respect to the circumstance which had led to the war in China, he was there, not to argue about the miserable lorcha, or to I discuss th e mer i ts o f any political section, but to express his opinion that, in the present crisi', the country was bound to give a hearty, steadfast, and cordial support to the Government. (Cheers.) He wished to express his disapproval and his reprobation of the combination which had placed those who were parties to it in the predica ment of coming before the grand jury of the country. He was bound to say that while agreeing e ith a good deal that had fallen from Mr. Morley, he did not look upon Lord Palmerston as a thorough-going politician, but he would support him on the present occasion, be cause he believed he was the only man fit to carry on the government of the country. (Cheers.) The noble lord had not supported the ballot, nor extension of the franchise, nor the repeal of Jewish disabilities ; and on all these points he (Mr. Crawford) would go further than the noble lord, but he would give him a cordial sup. port as long as he would show himself anxious to pro mote the great social and political measures on which the happiness and contentment of the people depended. (Loud cheers.) He begged to move— " That a committee, consisting of Sir J. Duke, Bart., M.P.,Mr. Raikes Currie, M.P., Mr. J. Dillon, Mr. R. W. rawford, Mr. T. Dakin, Mr. E. James, Q.C., Alder man Rose, Sir C, Crosley, Mr. H. Lloyd, Mr. J. H. Elliott, Mr. W. L. Hall, Mr. B. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. G. Allan, Mr. R. Besley, Mr. T. J. Holt, Mr. R. Obbard, and Mr. T. Christy, be appointed to draw up an address em bodying the spirit of the foregoing resolution; that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor be hereby authorised to sign the same, by order and on behalf of this meeting; and that the committee be a deputation to present the same to his lordship." Mr. LA.WRENOr seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. On the motion of Sir J. Dim; Bart., M.P., seconded by Mr. WAITHMAN, a vote of thanks was unanimously awarded to the Lord Mayor for his readiness in calling the meeting, and for his kindetess in presiding. The LORD IvIAYon, in acknowledging the compliment, expressed a hope that all constituencies would impress upon those they elected the duty of attending more closely to the wants of the poor. jr. OSBORNE, a working m an , b egge d permission to propose the following resolution : " The citizens of London heartily sympathies with their countrymen who have been .suffetfug loyment during the whole winter, t suffering and want, anti pledge them ! through their re presentatives , to assist them in we.res, endeavours to emigrate and settle in the Britishe olo their en tfurhnoefmroerbtwyu unfortunate tt u e s o i usin g ni,9s." The motion having been seconded by another work ing man, was carried by acclamation. Three hearty cheers were then given for Lord Pal merston, and the meeting separated.

(From a Correspondent of the Time, MELBOURNE, Nov. 26,1856. Yesterday will be long remembered in the colony of Victoria, and, it is to be hoped, not without pride and satisfaction not only by the " native-born," but by all who have made it their home. The first session of the first Parliament under the new Constitution was opened in per son by General MacArthur, the officer administering the Government. The Chambers met on Friday, when the Legislative Council chose its President, and the Legislative Assembly its Speaker. The choice of the former fell on Dr. Palmer, who filled the office of Speaker of the late Council with considerable credit to himself, but with the single drawback of being a little too fond of speaking in committee of the whole. Still, he is a man of considerable intelligence, full of information, and perfectly familiar with his duties. No other man in the Upper House ap proaches him in fitness, and to have chosen any other would have been a disgrace to the House. As to the choice of a Speaker, there was no man of such pre-eminent qualifica tions and claims, as compared with others, as to shut out either competition or selection. The choice has fallen on Dr. Murphy, who was for some time chairman of commit tees, and did his work well. He also sat for a short time as Speaker during Dr. Palmer's illness. There was another candidate in Mr. Griffiths, who was educated as a barrister, and was called to the bar, but has never practised. I should have thought that Mr. priffiths'a habits of mind and man ners would have made him a better Speaker. He has more of " a presence than Murphy, and more calmness and dignity of manner. Both are Irishmen, but Griffiths has very little brogue, just enough to give preciseness to his enunciation, while Murphy's brogue is rather conspi cuous. Murphy's manner, however, is frank, and he is more accessible and approachable to those who have to communicate with him ; whereas Griffiths's manner is felt by some to be too stiff and cold, and this last point of com parison between the two, I suspect, greatly turned the scale in favour of Murphy. In fact, either would have been a good choice, and even those who on personal grounds would have preferred Griffiths cannot possibly cavil at the choice the house has made. There was one curious effect of the experience of the old members of Palmer's disposition to speak in committee ; a sort of pledge was drawn from Murphy not to enter into debate in committee. Griffiths declined to give such a pledge, and I think he was quite right in so declining. On Saturday the President and Speaker were presented to the acting Governor in order that his Excellency might know on whom their choice had fallen, and not for his approval. Nor were any privileges, such as liberty of speech, asked for. In England approval has come in time to be understood as not implying the power to disapprove, and here the House of Assembly has thus early guarded itself against any conflict with the Crown in case of the disallowance of a Speaker, by not putting the presentation as for approval. That may be catalogued as constitutional point No. 1. The new Houses of Parliament are in a very unfinished state. When quite completed they will probably constitute the finest Legislative Palace in the colonies of Great Bri tain. The whole design will cost 500,0001., of which the portion now erected will form about one-sixth or one-fifth of the whole. The two chambers, which will be very beautiful in design and embellishment, are barely ready for occupation. Still they are commodiously fitted up, and there is a good deal of accommodation around them, such as division lobbies, Speaker's and clerks' rooms, some few committee-rooms, and so forth. The library, one for both Houses, will be built next; io the meantime the books will be so placed as to be accessible to members. There is to be a " Bellamy's," and the best cook and confectioner in the town has the contract at a fixed and moderate scale. In Australia our legislators could no more deliberate without "a smoke" than the Dutch burgomasters of Knicker bocker's New Amsterdam ; hence smoking-rooms have not been forgotten. At present the exterior of this building is ugly enough, baG a large range of buildings has to be aided in front, with a facade of considerable architectural beauty. The site of this building is at the east end of Bourke street, the finest street in the city, running east and west through the same. The site was reserved for the purpose when the town of Melbourne was first laid out. Le me re min i you here that our quasi-Belgravia is in the east, in stead of the west. To return to yesterday. The ceremonial was conducted very nearly after English precedent. The four judges, in full costume of scarlet and ermine, with full-bottomed wigs, took their seats in front and on either side of the throne. On a stool, supposed to represent the woolsack, sat the Speaker. The clerks of the two houses occupied appropriate places. General MacArthur was escorted by military, announced bya salqte, and a as received bya guard of honour. The gentleman usher, though quite new to the office, being a gentleman, did his part of the w or k as a thorough gentlem an m i g ht be expected to do it — courteously and well. The house was crowded with ladies in every part, even the members making way far them on all sides. At length, "His Excellency enters the house" is heard. He had been very well received out of doors, for he is de servedly popular, and there was within the walls a slight murmur of welcome, which would have been loud but for the decorum which the place and occasion demanded, for there were probably few in that well-dressed crowd within who had not experienced the General's hospitality. The steps which followed are well known to your readers. The members, the quasi -peers, are requested to be seated—the presence of the members of the Assembly is requested, they enter headed by their Speaker—the Speech is read. It is the first Speech constructed by a responsible Ministry, and I think will strengthen their position before the country at least, if their performances come up to their promises and profession's. No doubt, our Ministry have been dis posed to hid high by the election addresses of Liberal members, but that is one of the great uses of an Opposition. Leaving the Legislature at the first act, I must now turn to our Supreme Court. The nine prisoners who made an attempt to escape from the hulks some time since, on which occasion Owen 0 wen., one of the boatmen, was barbar ous ly murdered, were arrai gne d f or th e murder last Wednesday. They severed in their challenges, and Melville, the leader of the attempt, was tied. He conducted his own defence, an 1 certeinly managed it with vetyconsiderable skill. It was sworn by several of the witnesses for the Crown that Mel ville himself beat out the brains of Owens with a hammer, and then threw him overboard. But these witnesses were at a distance, and none of the men in the boat could give evidence as to that fact. All the other prisoners stated— and this wes the substance of Melville's defence —that one Stevens, a prisoner, who bad leapt overboard, and drowned hinted, was the man who struck the blows. If this fact be assumed to be true, it lets in the question whe ther the killing of the man was p ar t o f th e common pur pose, or whether it was the act of Stevens without any patticipatiou on the part of the others. This point remains for argument. There also seems to be some doubt whether the prisoners were in legal custody at the time— i.e, whe ther the practice of conveying them onshore to break stones and then reconvoying them to the hulks is supported by any statute or regulation warranted by a statute. If not, it will reduce murder to manslaughter. I think the im pression among the profession is that the first point, or ra ther the very grave doubt involved in it, will save Mel. ville's life. His defence is so remarkable that I enclose it. Love of display and that sort of vanity which is very common among great criminals were very conspicuous in Melville's conduct throughout the trial ; but he managed his cross-examinations well, and did not permit his love of display to betray him into virtual admissions, as many old offenders who conduct their own defence often d 6. His theory of [the transaction, so to speak, was kept consist ently in vain throughout. He admitted he was a villain— he owned he had robbed, but be repudiated so cowardly and cruel an act as that with which he was charged. 'Some of his disclosures respecting the severe and cruel discipline of the hulks are known to be true, and this leads to some suspicion that the whole, though, no doubt, exaggerated and highly-coloure 3, has a foundation in fact. This has induced the Government to announce that a commission will be appointed to inquire and report; and so strong an impression has this Melville's address tothe jury made upon the public mind that the public will not be satisfied if the inquiry is intrusted to the hungers-on of the Government, without some men of perfectly independent character.

I was confined to my belt and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, sufferieg severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second et third day; and, upon ono occasion, I swallowed no less dun! seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my ri g i l ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resemble the sound produced by a li g h t touch on a musical glass . had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat/ and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was a great that I could not remain in the same position for ter , minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pa in seemed to be just b e l ow t he ribs on my left side, and about Ores inches from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in wa ter and salt ; and in l ess th an a f or t n i g h t my appetite was greatli improved, and flatulency an d cons ti pat i on so f ar vanisbe,, that I have not tast e d a p ill or drug o f an y kind since.
