Sir DIGBY MACIEWORTH, Bart., Resolved, That the Report now read be adopted by the Meeting, and printed and circulated under the direction of the Committee. Moved by T. B. HORSYALL. Esq., seconded by the Rev. ARCHIBALD BOYD, A.M., of Londonderry, That while we rejoice in the spirit of benevolence which has created so many instrumentalities for, conveying the Word of Life to the heathen, we desire to ; place on record our regret that England, as a nation, does i l ot more decidedly recognise the duty of endeavouring to intr9duce the blessings of Christianity throughout her numerous Colonial depen dencies. Moved by Rev. J. E. WRITE, A. M., one of the Society's Secretaries, seconded by Rev. FRANCIS CLOSE, A.M., of Cheltenham, _ _ That the activity of the Church of Rome to extend its influence,. especially in those countries where Protestant Missions are carried on, calls for increased exertion, libe rality, faith and prayer, on the part of members of our Pro testant Church, to extend to the heathen that system of pure scripture truth which is so fully embodied in her articles, liturgy, and homilies.

Chairman, &c., The Marine Surveyor, in compliance with the instructions of the last Committee, submitted a Report on the state of the S.W. Mooring Chain of the N.W. Lightship, from which she parted during the hurricane of the ith of January last : Resolved, That the said Report be published once in each of the Liverpool newspapers. Extracted from the proceedings, DANIEL MASON, Secretary. Copy of the Report of the Marine Surveyor. "Marine Surveyor's Office, May Bth, 1839. "The Marine Surveyor has to report that the North-west Light-ship's South-west Mooring, parted in the hurricane of the 7th of January, (crept up and brought in by the" Ant," Anchor Flat,) has been carefully examined and measured, and that it appears to have parted about eleven fathoms from the vessel's bow. As both Moorings have mow been reco vered, and it is satisfactorily proved that each chain must have parted at 70 feet from the vessel's bow, the Master and Crew of the Lightship must, in justice, be fully exonerated from the imputation of having nicked the chains, as it is evident they parted in a place that was totally inaccessible to the crew, even could any one have been found of sufficient hardi hood, and insane enough, to have ventured over a vessel's bow in a hurricane for such a purpose. (Signed) " WM. LORD, Marine Surveyor. "To the Dock Committee." MEETING TO ADDRESS HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN. AT a MEETING of REFORMERS, held at the Royal Hotel on Monday, the 13th instant.

They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction Unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by complely stopping i tip the cavity, prevents effe c t ua ll y th at unp ant taint of * the breath which invariably ac com p an i es a d ye d tooth. Among the various disorders of the T ee th d Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it i s we ll known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.

CAPTAIN PIDDING, having made Eight Voyages to China, embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, of securing to himself the exclusive importation of these Teas, and he supplies them to the Public through one Agent in each Town. GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, sole Agent for Liverpool. In an action brought by Captain Piddirig, against a person who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved, be fore the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavitfof Mr. Wm. Styan, an eminent broker, of twenty-seven yrars' experience, em ployed to test the merits of these Teas., " That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE' is a Tea Of A FINE NATURAL AROMA." And " That ' HOWCXUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea could not be bought in the market." " W. Styan." "Sworn at the Public O ffi ce, Ch anc e r y -l a ne, {this Bth day of May, 1837, before me, " Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR." It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas were supplied for the Royal use. Dr. Johnson, late Physician to Geo. IV., considers this the beat of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The gconemy of Health," &e., his testimony is invaluable, he writes thus: " Nov. 22, 1837. " SIR ' —Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c., "To Capt. Pidding." "JAMES JOHNSON, M.D." Its superior excellence is further proved by G. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in a lecture on Tea, delivered, on 'the 14th of November, before the Medico Botanical Society, stated, " The Hong Merchants used not, generally, to de. lam, for exportation, their finest sorts of Teas. It was proved by the fact, that, since the opening of the trad e , new varieties had been brought to England, and, in particular, a Tea'Under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of - the Hong Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and the Howqua Mixture' has now be come' A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' " It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality.

HE very rapid sale of this invaluable Medicine, since its recent introduction here, more than realises the most sanguine anticipations of its Proprietor. No better proof of the great virtues of the American Herb Pills could be given, than this ready appreciation on the part of the afflicted. — Never since Medicine became . a science was there a happier discovery than that of the composition of this invaluable Remedy,_ DR. W. EVANS having proved, by the most thoroughly extended individual and collective experience; that these Pills are firmly based on the immutable laws oPNature, deems it an imperative duty to bring them before the Public. The great principles on which this Medicine is established, are to supersede the indiscriminate use of the Lancet, and of those violent and dangerous minerals which have caused such great mortality, and to prevent the frequent recourse to the many deleterious purgatives compounded and put forth by ignorant pretenders. THE AMERICAN HERB PILLS, having stood the test of the most thoroughly extended experience, are confidently re commended as decidedly superior to any combination of Medicine ever offered to the Public. These Pills are a mild Aperient, perfectly safe, certain, and pleasant in their operation, and being wholly composed of HERBS that harmonise admirably with the human constitu tion, they are perfectly salutary under any circumstances. In all cases in which functional derangements of the Liver, the Stomach and Bowels are involved, and also in all Impu rities of the Blood, this Medicine possesses curative powers of surpassing efficacy ; Costiveness, Dyspepsia and Bilious Complaints, so frequently aggravated by other Medicines, are easily cured by a judicious administration of this. A proper perseverance in the use of these invaluable Pills will effectually relieve the distressed victims of Gout and Rheu matism, break up the tendency to a recurrence of the malady and establish the health of the patient. These Pills are also highly efficacious in all cases of Lowness of Spirits, Nervous Irritability and Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Heartburn, General Debility, Hysteria, Head-ache, Asthma, and Spasmgdic Affections. One of die most dangerous epochs to Females is at the change of life ; they then require a remedy that will invigo rate and equalise the circulation, so that they may withstand the shock. That Medicine is Dr. Evans' American Herb Pills. Those who have the care and education of Females should never be without them. The HERBS of which they are composed exert a specific action upon the Heart and arterial system, quickening and equalising the ,circulation through all the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated internally, or the extremities : and as the secretions of the body are drawn from the blood, there is a consequent in crease of every secretion and a quickened action of the ab sorbent and exhalent or discharging vessels. Any morbid action that may have taken place is corrected, and all obstruc tions removed, the blood is purified, and the body resumes a healthful state. Perseverance in the use of these Pills will undoubtedly effect a cure in all cases that have been found discouragingly obstinate. The great number of persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, Liver or Bilious Complaints, are to be found among care worn speculators, stock-brokers, and ardent students ; or among those whose nervous system has, by injudicious edu cation, been too greatly developed and rendered morbidly excitable. There can be no doubt that sedentary habits con cur with mental excitement in producing these complaints. Lowness of spirits is a certain state of mind, accompanied by indigestion, wherein the greatest evils are apprehended upon the slightest grounds, and the worst consequences imagined. Ancient medical writers supposed this disease to be confined to those particular regions of the abdomen, tech nically called hypochondria, which are situated on the right or left side of that cavity, whence comes the name hypochon driasis. The common corporeal symptoms are, flatulency in the stomach or bowels, acrid eructations, costiveness, spasmodic pains, giddiness, dimness of sight, palpitations, and often an utter inability of fixing the attentroL upon any subject of importance, or engaging in any thing that demands vigour or courage. Also languidness—the mine becames irritable, thoughtful, desponding, melancholy, and dejected, accom panied with a total derangement of the nervous system. The mental feelings and peculiar train of ideas that haunt the imagination and overwhelm the judgment, exhibit an infinite diversity. The wisest and best of men are as open to this affliction as the weakest. An habitual moderate use of the American Herb Pills, in conjunction with moderate exercise and rel axa ti on , will ef fectually accomplish a cure. The virtues of these Pills are peculiarly such that they may be taken without occasioning sickness, nausea, or any of those disagreeable sensations at tending the operation of other medicines.

THE SALE OF Sir Bellingham Graham's splendid property, the Nunnington Estate, with a rental of FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR, including 2,700 acres of the best Land in the Country. The whole of Nunnington Village, and most probably a SEAT IN PARLIAMENT, no TITHES, and a very low Poor Rate is ushered in to the Monied World by the following (it must be admitted) seductive introductory remarks by Mr. George Robins, in his very descriptive particulars of this most im portant Sale. To the Fundholder it may be said, of his pro duction and commentary thereupon—" Mark, learn, and inwardly digest it." Certain it is, there is no such Estate in the Market, and the odds are in favour. of a purchaser from Leeds or York. The Estate, which is about to be particularized, claims the especial attention of all those who, possessing wealth, at e not insensible to the value of an Investment arising from Land of a quality which cannot be surpassed in the kingdom. The time for possessing this splendid Property appears to be very opportune ; the exceedingly high price of the Funds should incline those, who are large Fundholders, to realize before the opportunity may pass away; for, without arguing upon the probability of any untoward event which may lead to hostilities, there is quite enough in the political horizon to show that the time is not far distant when the Funds will retrograde to a more healthy and secure state, and whenever this event takes place, a certain and favourable re-action must stimulate the agricultural interest. It will then be seen that " terra firma ' is the best, the safest Investment ; and all those who are receiving three per cent. upon their capital in .Land, will have no difficulty in doubling their in come. What a different picture might be drawn of the Fund holder at the same period ! Mr. Robins feels that he has only fulfilled his duty by endeavouring to enlist the, attention of the monied world, while the opportunity is within reach—his warning voice will be remembered by all those, who, having money at com mand, have not taken the prudent resolve which this short ad dresd has suggested. The positive necessity for adhering to the wholesome regulations affecting the Corn Laws has been triumphantly established in both Houses of Legislature, not by a niggardly, but by such a splendid majority as must put the question at rest, so long as England shall maintain her present proud attitude, and her Parliament proclaim the ab solute necessity of protecting the agricultural interest by encouraging industry and a sufficient growth of Corn in our dominions for the consumption of our own native soil. Ad mitting this self-evident position, the prospective views, in respect to landed investments, never before put on so cheer ing and satisfactory a prospect. At the time the worthy Baronet caused a reduction in his rents, in the year 1834, agricultural pursuits were fearfully depressed ' it need hardly be remarked, they have returned to a more healthy condition, and as the produce is now in finitely more valuable than at the time the FORMER RENTS were cheerfully paid, with the absolute God-send as it re gards a landed investment—no Tithe, a small Poor-rate, and the best land in the county, it is not drawing largely on the reader to estimate the present annual value at FIVE Tnou- SAND Two HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, and which will be cheerfully paid by the responsible and wealthy tenants with out a murmur, and, for the future, they will consign the word " Abatement " to the tomb of all the Capulets. The following statement, from the public announcement, will prepare the reader, by a round unvarnished tale, for a most favourable exchange from the Three per. Cents. to terra firma, and all those who intend to have the gratification of viewing this fine property, will, on returning from a survey, agree that Mr. ROBINS has not, in the slightest degree, too highly coloured his picture.—Extract from a York paper. THE RISEHOLATE ESTATE. Mr. George Robins, who has the conduct of this important sale, cannot be excused of havinc , coloured his picture too highly in the estimate he has formed of its manifold advan tages. It is a faithful but not an exagerated statement. The Chaplins, who have so long sojourned at this hospitable abode, and consequently represented the county, have given to it a consequence that is amply justified by a personal sur vey. We speak advisedly when we proclaim such a property in our County has not been in the market for years. The —it is extra-parochial, no Tithes, a very low Poor:i i ii_yalue a wealthy tenantry. If to this be added that the LOYAL CONSTITUENCY OF LINCOLN are upon the look-out for the next General Election, we may rejoin, that the new possessor of Riseholme will start for the Estate and the Seat almost simultaneously.—Lincoln paper, May 3. We have reason to believe there is no foundation whatever in the reported marriage of the Earl of March to his cousin, Miss Laura Paget : —Post. _ We are told that Mr Rogers, the celebrated poet, will shortly lead to the altar Miss Clarke, a young lady of great personal attractions.—lbid. It is said of several of the hitherto warm friends of the late noble premier that they do not like Lamb half sd well as they did, now that it is deprived of Mint sauce. Some Chartist scamps visited Frome last week, and made an attempt to get up a meeting, which, to the credit of the working classes of that town, was a failure. Much confusion will arise from there being two Lord Stanleys. Surely some title equally satisfactory might have been discovered, but we must allow Ministers had enough to think of—poor men ! SAGACIOUS COOK.—Lord Ebrington's cook, as soon as he heard the orange facings of the liveries were to be changed to yellow, for fear of giving offence to the intelligent Irish nation, suggested that there might be some danger in certain pots of " orange marmalade," which made part of his kitchen stores. The functionary was thanked for his prudence, and, after much serious debate, it was agreed to alter the label on the pots to " lemon marmalade.' Warder. SHOCKING ACCIDENT OST THE CROYDON RAILROAD.— Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Tuesday night David Loyd, a miner, while employed in one of the night gangs, working at the junction line of the Croydon Railroad, near to New Cross, Deptford, was run against by one of the wag gons descending an inclined plane, and - knocked down. The flange of the wheels passed over his left arm close to the shoulder, crushing the bone in a dreadful manner. He was removed as quickly as possible to St. Thomas's Hospital, and remains in an alarming state. GEOLOGY AND EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.—On the mis cellaneous estimates being moved, there will be proposed the following grants :—" For Dr. Mantell's collection of geology, the sum agreed upon for the purchase, £4,000; expense of removing the collection from Brighton and placing it in the British Museum, £212."—" For the purchase of Signor D'Anastasi's collection of Egyptian Antiquities, £1,600." Total for such purchases, £5,812. Permission has been granted to the East India Company to raise two European regiments, in consequence of the reduced state of her Majesty's army not admitting of two regiments being sent to India. The recruits for the East India Com pany will be taken at five feet five inches, and up to the age of 30 years. The regiments will not be embodied in this country, but recruits will be sent out in detachments, and formed, on arrival in India, into corps. This augmentation is in addition to the 600 men previously ordered to be en listed.—Naval and Military Gazette. The remarkable rifle of seven powers, for which Mr. Wil kinson has taken out patents, we believe, in all the countries of Europe, was tested yesterday at the private shooting ground, on the Norland estate, Notting-hill. Several scien tific persons, officers of the two services, and noble amateurs, were present ; the experiments being made for the judgment of the master-general of the ordnance. The preci s io n of the piece, the terrible facility of its seven-fold power, its light ness and portability, were highly approved. The cylindrical apparatus which contains the seven charges, is a contrivance at once sure and simple. Ten men so armed are equal to seventy, and we can scarcely doubt that the weapon will soon become as popular as it is powerful.—Atlas. DREADFUL DEATH.—On Tuesday, an occurrence of a very unfortunate description took place in the workshop of Mr. M`Gregor, hat manufacturer, Glasgow. Two workmen named Harrington and Burton, quarrelled while in a state of intoxication, and got into a scuffle, in the course of which several blows were exchanged. Harrington at last threw Burton into a large boiler of boiling logwood ; and the latter laying hold of the aggressor at the moment, drew him also into the liquid. They were taken out, as may be supposed, in a state of dreadful torture, and removed to the royal infir mary, where Burton died on the following morning at one o'clock. Harrington suffers severely, but is expected to re cover. He is a native of Ireland, and has a wife and family. Burton was an Englishman, and married, but has left no children. Should Harrington recover, the case will, of course, be taken up by the authorities.—Glasgow Argus. THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT.—On the motion of Lord Dungannon a return has been made "Of the number of marriages solemnised in Roman Catholic chapels and Pro testant Dissenting places of worship in England and Wales from Ist Jan. to 31st Dec. 1838 ; specifying the various de nominations of the several Protestant Dissenting places of worship in which such marriages have been solemnised ; also the number of marriages during the same period which have been contracted before the several District Registrars." The paper is really a curious one. The number of mar riages in Roman Catholic chapels for the whole year is 1629 ; in (so called) Protestant Dissenting places of Worship 2504 ; and before Superintendent Registrars 1476. The Infidel marriage contracts are very nearly as numerous as the Popish solemnizations ; the two together are more numerous than those of the (so called) Protestant Dissenters ; and the whole together form but an insignificant number in comparison with the marriages solemnised in the Established Church. Surely those Dissenters, who with good intentions, pressed and shouted for this dessecrating enactment must shrink from it with disgust when they witness its effects. It in truth fa cilitates depravity—witness the instances of abominable marriages which are so frequently reported through the press, and the number of Infidel contracts openly avowed—and it promotes and increases ignorance by encouraging it to dis play, and dressing its antics in authority. It is abundantly evident from this return that the religious Dissenters do not at all countenance the new Marriage Act. It is well known that the Wesleyans, that great and important body who have just raised the munificent sum of upwards of £200,000 to commemorate their centenary have as a body refused to accept its privileges; but we certainly did not think, until we saw this return that the measure was in general so very much disregarded. But the curiousness of the return con sists chiefly in the enumeration of the denominations which are described as solemnising their marriages in Protestant Dissenting places of Worship. Amongst these we have : Baptists (black, white, blue, a nd grey) general, particular, Scotch, and Welsh, Borean Universalists, Bible Christians, Cowardites, New Jerusalem Church, Relief Church, South- COttians, Swedenborgiana; Unitarians, and undefined. The working of this degrading and shameful innovation ought to induce the religious Dissenter to pause before he sanctions further change. Emptrtal Vadianunt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. CHEAP POSTAGE. Petitions in favour of Mr. R. Hill's plan of a uniform system of penny postage, from various parts of the country, were presented by the Earl of Radnor, Lord Brougham, the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Bute, the Duke of Rutland, and the Earl of Zetland. A great many petitions were presented, but, in c6nsequence of the noise which prevailed below the bar •it was impossible to hear in the gallery even the subjects to which they referred. The house was unusually full on both sides, and below the throne was thronged as well as below the bar. Viscount DUNCANNON laid upon the table certain returns relative to offences committed in Ireland. COPYRIGHT. On the motion of Viscount 'DUNCANNON, the presentation of the reports of the Designs cilpyright Bill, and the Designs Copyright Extension Bill, was postponed to Monday. CHURCH EXTENSION. The Marquis of BUTE presented several petitions from places in Scotland, in favour of church extension in that country. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition against rail road travelling on a Sunday. MALTA. The Earl of RIPON said it was not his intention to bring forward his motion relative to the removal of certain offices at Malta. Lord BROUGHAM — Do I understand my noble friend to put it off generally, or only for a day ? The Earl of RIPON — For to-day only. The report of the committee on the Bishops' Residences Bill was received. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the order of the day, which stood for Monday, on the Church Discipline Bill, was discharged. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the house adjourned until Monday. THE MINISTRY. (From the Morning Herald of Saturday.) The cause of the failure of Sir Robert Peel's efforts to form an administration is one which, while it exists, must present an insuperable obstacle to the formation of a ministry willing and capable of saving the country from the difficul ties and perils in which the whigs have placed it. Such a ministry could only be formed by the great conservative leader of the House of Commons, in whose hands are the elements of its combination ; but that distinguished states man consulted rightly for his own honour, as well as for the interest of the country and dignity of the crown, in declining to place himself at the head of an administration'which would have had less of the confidence of the Sovereign than a Camarilla exercising in the recesses of the palace, secret, mysterious, and irresponsible_influence over the mind of the Queen and the destinies of the country. If Sir Robert Peel sought office only to parade its plumage —to enjoy its patronage, and gratify with the possession of its external honours the yearnings of a vain ambition, he might have all that he wanted in abundance, by consenting to enact the pageant of the Premiership without its sub stance ; but Sir Robert Peel is not a Melbourne—a Durham, —or a Normanby, to accept power upon humiliating condi tions, and wear the costume of high office as the splendid livery of political servitude. His ambition is to SAVE THE COUNTRY, and to do so he must have the undivided confi dence of the Crown, and all the power which a Prime Mi nister of England ought to have. All this, it was under stood, the Queen had given him in the first instance ; but though the whig ministry had perished, whig intrigue was at work, and, under its influence, her Majesty chose to limit the code blanche which he had received, thereby placing him in a position in which he must either compromise his honour, by accepting of partial confidence and mutilated power, or decline the task of forming an administration. Sir Robert Peel adopted the only course which a high-minded states man could take in these circumstances—he respectfully re signed the trust of constructing a cabinet, and left the court camarilla where it was. Sir Robert Peel knew that he could neither serve the crown effectually, or retrieve the country from its difficulties, unless with full and unrestricted power—such power as constitu tionally belongs to a first minister of the crown. To submit to the secret dictation of a camarilla, and to incur the risk of having his measures thwarted by " a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself," was a degrading con dition of office not to be thought of for a moment by a states ' man of high principled and honourable ambition. If Sir Robert Peel had lost anything by not accepting office, the Queen and country have lost a great deal more. Her Ma jesty has lost the able and brilliant services of a minister of unrivalled talents and accomplishments, and England has lost, at least for a time, the inestimable advantage of pos sessing a government strong in character—strong in princi ple—strong in public confidence—a ministry capable of dis tinguishing between improvement and destruction at home, and of restoring her ancient influence and renown abroad. The whigs have taken especial care to surround the Queen with their own creatures—they had introduced to the palace of the maiden Queen a set whose conduct we need not - say has excited public surprise, mixed with a stronger feeling. The dark and foul conspiracy of which lady Flora Hastings was near becoming the victim, we need not say excited gene ral indignation and disgust. Not pretending to know who they were of the palace that concocted that conspiracy, it is certain that they are still harboured in the court which they have lowered in public opinion, beyond what the British court ever was before. They have thrown a blighting cloud over the popularity of the Sovereign. It is necessary that our young and inexperienced maiden Queen should be delivered from their influence, in order to be restored to the enjoyment of the unbounded confidence and aflection with which the people of England hailed her accession to the throne. The Duke of Wellington, to whom her Majesty, as well as her Majesty's subjects,.owe more than to any other man — the Duke of Wellington, who preserved that crown she wears from foreign conquest, and England from the deso lating sword of foreign dominion, has given, at her own re quest, such advice to the Queen as can alone save her throne and kingdom from the embarrassment into which a faction, without principle or capacity, have plunged both. It was in conformity, with that-advice her Mniommf a inn i ft c pahNt &do eetitretice l "gaid to have been conducted by the lady of an ex-minister, has had the effect of counteracting the-advice of the Duke of Wellington, and baffling the loyal and pa ' triotic efforts of Sir Robert Peel to provide for the service of the crown such an administration as should contain within itself the means of making England, if any government could, prosperous at home, and respected abroad. The fatal influence of whig sway, under the degrading superintendence and control of the Irish agitator, has de prived England of its high character with foreign nations, invited unavenged aggression by foreign power upon her in terests, and unpunished insult s t o h er once supreme an d glorious flag. The fatal influence of whig sway has at home done more towards creating a feeling of hostility in the minds of the poorer classes against the rich than ever was known, with one or two exceptions, in the worst times of our history. The whigs have attacked the church and the poor together—the former has been rescued, in a great de gree, from the threatened danger, but the latter have been made ferocious and desperate. The chartist doctrines and outrages are but the symptoms of that disorder of the body politic, which the cruel quackery of whig legislation has pro duced. We have no doubt that s pi es sen t among th e work ing classes for a particular object have hurried on ti'e hungry and unreflecting masses, in many places, to acts of despera tion. But the whigs prepared the working classes to receive evil counsel, and act upon it, by inhumanly committing the deserving poor to the " tender mercies" of the Bastile law, which Lord John Russell, in his " finality" pamphlet, so highly lauds. Blood, it is said, flows in the land. The arms of the Queen's troops are - said to be stained with the gore of the Queen's subjects. In Ireland a licentious faction tram ples on the law, and sends forth its incendiaries and execu tioners at midnight and in the noon-day to carry on the work of riband and precursor " tranquillisation" by fire and slaughter. This is whig sway. Under whig sway, also, Canada has been wasted by two rebellions, and has had its constitution suspended . ; and it wa s no t th e f au lt o f th e w hi gs that the constitution of Jamaica has not been suspended also. We believe there are foreign emissaries in this country assisting to promote the ruin of England by fomenting the disorders which whig misgovernment has created or encou raged. Nothing but a strong conservative administration will be adequate to the task, which a camarilla at the palace, male or female, can harass and thwart. The whig journals now talk of an appeal to the country on behalf of the Queen. They prostituted the Queen's name at the last general elec tion, and what did they get by it ? If they dare to appeal to the country, the conservatives will rally under the banner of the " Queen and Constitution, and no Camarilla," and the whig faction will then receive from the country its final and irrevocable doom. (From the Courier of Saturday.) The accuracy of our assertion , that Sir R o b er t P ee l claimed the dismissal Of all the ladies of the Court, is dinied - bitie Tory prints ; and it is asserted, that he required the dismissal of a proportion" only. Who, and how many he meant to dismiss, we, of course, know not ; but we h ave no t th e l eas t doubt, that he claimed the right of dismissing all, though he might not have resolved to exercise it to the letter. Sir Robert is bound to state the ground of his objection to these ladies. The Times rests the objection solely on politi cal grounds, and pays proper respect to the characters of the ladies in question : the Post, on the other hand, rests the ob jection as strongly on moral grounds, and talks of " damaged" and " depraved" society. Which is right ? Which of the two papers is the Peel print? A meeting, which was attended by about thirty liberal members of the House of Commons, among whom were Mr. Hume and Sir W. Molesworth, was held, yesterday afternoon, at the Reform Club, to consider the course to be adopted in the event of the restoration of Lord Melbourne's Administra tion. Some of the mote' strenuous advocates of further re forms were for insisting, as a condition of their support, that the Ballot, at least, should be left an open question ; but we understand, that Mr. O'Connell and other members urged, that, in the present state of affairs, it would be unwise and ungenerous to make such a demand ' • and it seemed to be th e general feeling, that their support should be given uncondi tionally. Another meeting was to be held at the Reform Club this' afternoon. A meeting was also held yesterday, at Mr. Ellice's, in reference to the appointment of the Speaker of the House of Commons, when it Was agreed that Mr. Shaw Lefevre should have the support of the reforme rs. (From the Second Edition of the Sun of Saturday.) The Cabinet Coun c il, w hi c h me t this d a y, a t twelve o'clock, remained in deliberation for upwards of four hours. It is understood that, after the explanations which will take place on Monday evening, on the part of the liberal and opposition leaders, the house will adjourn for a fortnight, to allow time for the various arrangements which are in contemplation. It is rumoured that the following, among other changes, are contemplated :-- The Marquis of Normanby, Premier. The Earl of Durham, Foreign Affairs. Lord Howick, Home Department. Mr. Poulett Thomson, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Brougham, it is said, will be placed at the head of a Board of Education, a subject which his lordship has so much at heart. Lord John Russell will go to the upper house. It is generally reported that some very liberal concessions will be made to the public on the reassembling of Parliament after the holydays. We give these as the current rumours of the day, but we do not place the slightest reliance on them, as we are con vinced that Lord Melbourne will not desert her Majesty under the present circumstances, but continue to conduct the Queen's Government. (From the Spectator.) Sir Robert Peel is cunning and adroit, but not sagacious. A politician's instinct would have shown him the folly of dis agreeing with the Queen about her household before he had secured a large majority ibtthe Commons. If he had waited for 450 Tory members, the Queen would have been at his mercy, and must have given up her Whig women. He has blundered; and not for the first time, as all know who have watched his career. But let that pass : what is to happen now? Any one of these three events : Lord Melbourne may reconstruct the Cabinet with its old materials, in which case it will soon go to pieces again ; or he may introduce new men and new principles • or a Government of new men and new principles may be formed w ith ou t him. In eith er o f th e lat ter cases the Government will be deserted by some old Whigs, and could not be sustained until after the resignation, except in defiance of a majority of both houses. This, then, is the only alternative,—a Tory government, or a Government de void of whiggery, and going on for a time in spite of hostile majorities in both houses. The men for a Tory Government are ready : where are they for, the only other sort'_ of Go vernment? (From the Standard.) Lord Melbourne resumes office. It is understood that Lord Howick was yesterday employed in the endeavour to conciliate the refractory radicals to Lord Melbourne's third government ; but so far without success. Lord Howick has been the most active runner in the late intrigue, and had the honour of admission to the secret con clave, which sat from the evening of Thursday to 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The report of this morning is, that Lord Palmerston and Sir John Hobhouse decline returning to office. (From a Correspondent.) . A number of rumours are in circulation this morning as to the reconstruction of the government, but nothing with cer tainty known. It is however, very generally believed, that Lord Melbourne's administration will resume office, and that the Earl of Durham will have a seat in the cabinet. Lord Melbourne had an audience of her Majesty this morning at Buckingham Palace. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office to-day at 12 o'clock. The Cabinet was attended by Viscount Mel bourne, the Lord Chancellor, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, the Marquis of Lansdown, Lord Dlincannon, Lord J. Russell, Lord Palmerston, the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Minto, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Howick, Lord Morpeth, Mr. P. Thomson, and Lord Holland. After the breaking up of the Council Lord Melbourne proceeded to Buckingham Palace. (From Cupid.) The Cabinet Council which assembled at 12 this day re mained in consultation above four hours. The result of its deliberations cannot, of course, be known. It is, however, confidently stated that, after explanations by the Duke of Wellington and Lord Melbourne in the Lords, and by Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel in the Commons, of the recent negociations, both houses will adjourn for a fortnight, for the purpose of making the ar rangements which recent occurrences have rendered ne cessary. (From the Times of yesterday.) It is now pretty well understood that Lord Melbourne re sumes his office, but that Lord John Russell remains only until his successor is appointed. In the mean time it is a high and paramount duty to the Queen and people, no less than to himself, that in a case where such enormous lies have been so indefatigably propa gated, placarded upon walls, and dispersed throughout the country in newspapers bought for that unprincipled purpose by Ministers with the public money—it is, we say, a high and essential duty on the part of Sir R. Peel that the truth and the whole truth should be made known by that slandered statesman ; and if there be blame anywhere, that it should be placed on the right head. In such a case reserve is prepos terous. It is inhuman to the calumniated, and treason to nation. Sir R. Peel has more than once ere now been ac cused of coldness and false delicacy. They will not do at present. The people will not endure such trifling with their fate, nor will the conservatives tolerate it in their chief, whom they chose to lead them into battle, wherever a strong moral necessity should demand it of them, not to flinch or needlessly compromise matters, or suppress any portion of the credit due to himself, which is conservative, or, in other words, national and invaluable property. The correspond ence on this question must every line of it come forth—no garbling—no mutilation of any kind. The whole thing must be made familiar to every cottage in the land, that English men may see for what and for whom their peace and welfare at home and abroad, and those of their children and of future generations, are to be sacrificed. (From the Moruing Herald of yesterday.) Lord Melbourne and his fellow intriguers held a cabinet council on Saturday, which lasted for upwards of four hours. Nothing decisive was agreed upon. The difficulties in which the authors of the lady-in-waiting counterplot find themselves involved, are obviously insuperable. In the course of Saturday evening, and yesterday, all sorts of rumours were in circulation as to the course about to be adopted by the disinterred ministry —a ministry that was proved to be rotten before it expired. According to certain authorities, Lord Melbourne had determined to " liberalise" his cabinet—in other words to fraternise with the " whole hog" men. According to other authorities, Lord Melbourne had resolved to resign his position to Lord Normanby or to Lord Durham ! These contradictory statements tend to prove, not merely that the Queen's present advisers have done nothing towards the reconstruction of an administration that may pretend to grapple with the difficulties which overwhelmed Lord Mel bourne's late government—but that the reconstruction of such an administration by Lord Melbourne is utterly impos sible. By what conceivable agency may Lord Melbourne be sup posed to derive from the recent movement amongst the ladies of the court, increased power to conduct the government of the country ? Lord ,Melbourne did not, up till Thursday last, lack the favour of the Queen, nor the services of grooms in waiting, and of women in the bedchamber ! What he did stand in need of, was a majority in the House of Lords—an immense extension of the Tail in the House of Commons — and some unworn pretext that might tend to mystify a portion of the people of England, as to the character and tendency of the O'Connellised administration. No mere court in trigue, however successful for the moment, can avail as a substitute for these things. The most cunningly-devised back-stairs plot will not tend to redeem Lord Melbourne from the deep contempt, in which he has long been held by the respectable portions of English society—nor enable the tail-men in the House of Commons, so to multiply their sweet voices as to convert a majority of five, into the required majority of fifty—nor yet enable the whig minority in the upper house to make a less miserable appearance than that minority has done for four years past. The resignation of office, therefore, by Sir Robert Peel has, obviously, imparted no fresh strength to Lord Melbourne. THE STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT DENTON. (From Me Manchester Guardian) Since our previous notices of this affair, we have had an opportunity of making more particular inquiries a. to its cir cumstances, 41ne or two respects, differ slightly from the statement originally It seems that it was as nearly as may be about eight o'cl6ck in the evening, while yet day-light, that the wounded man, Joh n Ed war d s , i , fi 1(1 House, and that rho ~----- allowed about four hour s to pi they thought fit to send for Mr. Samuel Lees, the deputy-constable of Denton. He arrived there at or after midnight, and then found Ed wards attended by Mr. Frederick Coke, surgeon, Denton, who was putting in writing the several interrogatories which we have already noticed, and the man was writing his an swers. Mr. Lees learned that the landlady and a young man, previously to his arrival, indeed shortly after Edwards made his appearance, had gone from the house, and traced his steps thence to a place inside a field, near the highway, where they found two small papers, one containing gunpow der, and the other shot of one of the middle sizes, which ap peared to have been thrown or dropped there by some one. They were proceeding further ; but, hearing a noise, and be coming alarmed, they turned back. Mr. Lees then, accom panied by two or three others, went to the bottom of the field in which the shot had been fired ; and, within a very few yards of the fence separating that field from an adjoining one, close by a blood-stained spot on the grass, Mr. Lees found a pistol, and others of the party picked up the hat and neck-handkerchief of Edwards, the latter soaked in blood. The hat had crape on. These things they brought away. Early , the following (Saturday) morning, Mr. Lees again went to the spot, and found a portion of the wadding of the pistol (which appears to be a fragment of the London Times), and in the midst of the blood a small pin, with which the ends of the handkerchief had apparently been fastened to the shirt ; for both ends were torn, as if Edwards had forcibly pulled the handkerchief from his neck, in the agony he must have suffered on the shot taking effect. The pistol is a small old one, with the word " London" on the lock. It was unloaded, and had the appearance of having been recently discharged. There was a flint in the lock of the pistol; and six others of similar size were found by Mr. Lees in the pocket of Edwards. In searching Edwards, in order to obtain some clue to his name and connections, Mr. Lees found in his waistcoat pocket an address card, " George Parker, Commercial Board ing-house, No. 7, Howe-street, Birmingham." Hoping that this might lead to some information, Mr. Lees wrote on Sunday week to the Birmingham police, enclosing a copy of the card, and a description of the person and dress of Ed wards. On Wednesday last, he received the following letter in reply : " Police Office, Birmingham, 7th May, 1839. " Sir,—Mr. Parker says, the above-described young man came on Wednesday evening ; supposed to have come from London by the train. He left here about half-past nine o'clock on Thursday morning, and went by coach to Man chester. Mr. Parker's servant says, he was very restless in the night, and appeared low in spirits in the morning. He had on the ciothes described in the letter. The have a strong recollection of them. They believe him to be a gentleman's servant.—Yours, respectfully, " GEORGE REDFERN. " To Mr. Saml. Lees, Constable, Town-lane, Denton." There being a word in one of the written answers of Edwards, to the question " Where do you come from ?" which ap peared something like the commeneement• of " Sheffield," though it was doubtless meant for " suffering," Mr. Lees thought it desirable to write to the Sheffield police ; and having prepared his letter, he came over to Manchester on Thursday last, in order to have an interview with Edwards, and make another effort to induce him to reveal his place of residence, or his connections. He found Edwards somewhat better and more collected, and he showed him the letter, and asked him to give him all the information he could, as it would be satisfactory to the public. Mr. Lees asked him if he had a father living. He nodded ; but intimated that his mother was dead. At first he signified that be had a sister named " Mary," but to brother ; but at length he wrote on the slate, "My brother Samuel lives at Chapel Mews. Port land-place, London. He is coachman to Dr. Bright, No. 19, Manchester-square." Mr. Lees lost no time in writing to Dr, Bright the same afternoon, and is now awaiting a reply. We understand that when lie entered the Sunfield public house Edwards was searched ; and the person who keeps that house took from him gold, silver, and copper, to the amount, we believe, of £2 15s sd. This sum, we are in formed, he refuses to give up to Mr. Lees, although he has repeatedly applied for it. Some expenses were incurred in bringing Edwards to the Manchester Infirmary in a spring cart; the landlord of the Sunfield house paid the tolls, &c. ; but though Mr. Lees offers to repay him all costs, he still holds the money. Mr. Lees, who has been at some personal expenses in reference to this matter, having paid portages, &c„ applied to Mr. Maude the other day on the subject, and by that magistrate was directed to skate the circumstances to Captain Clarke, who resides at Hyde Hall, in the neighbour hood of Denton. In conclusion, we may say that the con duct of Mr. Lees, in prosecuting his inquiries, has been dili gent and meritorious. The Queen's levee intended to be held on Wednesday, was postponed to Wednesday, the 15th instant. MUSHROOMS. — In the market of Moscow, 200,000 rou bles, or £B,OOO, are drawn every summer for mushrooms alone. There are at least twenty varieties used at table ; in England only three are eatable. HORRID MURDER AT HENLEY - ON-THAMES.—Ahout 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, it was discovered that the dwellinghouse of Mrs. Phillips, 84 years of age, living near Woodcot house, near Henley-on Thames, had been broken open during the night, and its inmates murdered. The de ceased lived by herself, and was attended by the wife of a farmer's servant who lived near the spot, who left her the previous evening in bed between eight and nine o'clock, and on going up next morning, discovered the house had been broken open and robbed. On entering the bed-room, she found the bedclothes saturated with blood, and the unfortu-. nate woman's brain exudhig from the skull, which had been beaten almost to a mummy. She went immediately to Mr. Adam Duff, of Woodcot-house, a magistrate, who has been most indefatigable in his endeavours to discover the murderers. The arms of the . old woman bore marks of having been se verely pinched. A sawyer's bag with two files, a line, and a pair of compasses were left behind, but no instrument has yet been found by which the act was perpetrated. A gold ring was taken from her finger, and some money from a chest of drawers in the room in which she slept. In the drawers thus ransacked, an old fashioned box, with £B, and a roll of calico, with thirty-five pounds, in Bank of Eng land notes were overlooked by the parties. A coroner's in quest was to be 'held on the body at 12 o'clock on Thursday. The tools found on the premises were stolen from a sawyer in the neighbourhood about a month ago, and the parties supposed to have stolen them reside in the neighbourhood of Mrs. Phillips's cottage.' Since the former part of this paragraph was written, we have heard'some slight clue has 'been obtained to the discovery of the perpetrators of the dia bolical act. —Standard. ST. GEORGE'S HALL. The discussions, both in and out of council, relative to the St. George's Hall. seem to have excited very general atten tion. Some persons declare that the period fixed by the com mittee for receiving architectural designs is too short. Others are anxious that this much talked-of structure should be proceeded with, and think the period long enough, especially as many facilities have been afforded by the committee to those artists who intend to compete, which are rarely or ever furnished in the metropolis. Not feeling quite competent to express any opinion on this head, we are satisfied to leave the matter in the hands of the committee, being satisfied that the gentlemen who have devoted so much time and attention to the subject, are quite able to form a correct judgment, and will select a design that will be a credit to the town. 'After the inhabitants have subscribed so munificent a sum as £25,000 for carrying this desirable object into effect, it does seem pitiful in the Town-council making so many objections as they have done; and retarding, rather than facilitating, the whole. We think the subscribers would have acted more wisely had they purchased a piece of - land in a convenient situation, such as the piece in Hardman-street, opposite St. Philip's Church, for instance, and erected their building without being dependent on the Town Council at all. It would have prevented the pitiful discussions, and the unseemly remarks that have been made in the council chamber by men who have done little or nothing themselves to further the object, and the subscribers would have been masters of their own property, and could have managed it as they pleased. Our present object, however, is not so much to endeavour to alter the site of the building or to unsettle the arrangements already entered into with the council, because we are of opinion that the majority of that body ill cordially join with the subscribers and the few snarlers wEose pugnacity causes them to bark, because they have no power to bite, will be left in a minority : but it is to lay before the public the re- Port of the committee appointed to consider the subject of architectural competition, which report was made to the Royal Institute of British Architects on the 24th January last. It is a striking and important document and deserves the serious attention of all our public bodies. Competition is a popular phrase at present, and we shall not make any re marks of our own to detract from its popularity : but the following report having been placed in our hands by some ar chitects of eminence, with a desire that we would read it, and having done so, we find it teems with such important matter and places the subject of architectural competition in such a new light, that we shall give half of it in our present, and the remaining half in our next publication. " REPORT, &c. . " The Committee appointed on 'the 9th October, 1838, to consider the subject of Public Competitions for Architectural Designs, beg leave to report, " That they have held several meetings, in which they have inquired into the history or past experience of competitions in general, and that they have obtained much interesting and important information on a great number of particular cases, fully justifying and confirming the impressions, which origi nally gave rise to the present inquiry. Your Committee are deeply impressed with a sense of the great and manifold evils arising from the defective system upon which competitions have been hitherto conducted, not only as regards the parties immediately concerned in them, but also the general interests of the public and the reputation of the profession at large ; since it is abundantly proved, that men of eminence are de terred from entering into competitions under a system, which experience has taught them involves inherent principles of in justice. _ _ _ " The grounds, upon which this conclusion is founded, are for the most part sufficiently obvious. The public voice has repeatedly denounced the evils resulting from competitions unfairly or inconsiderately conducted, and it appears to your Committee that some endeavour at least to remedy them is required for the interest both of the public and the profession. ' As to the policy of competitions -in general or the com parative advantages of open or select competitions, your Com mittee do not feel called upon to give an opinion. They con ceive their duty to be limited to the investigation of the system as it exists. They avoid the consideration of any evils, but those they consider inherent in it. They suggest no remedies for these evils, but such as they think the public will feel it to be their interest to adopt. They insist upon none, but those which it lies within the po w er of the members of the profession to apply • and they think it not too much to expect from the Royal institution of British Architects, an association founded and incorporated with the express object among others of promoting the interests of Architecture, that they should interfere to the point of adopting and con firming their opinions thus far. " Without therefore attempting to argue. the question of advantage or otherwise to be derived from the principle of competition, or endeavouring to reconcile different opinions on the subject, it seems important to take such a view of its practice, or of the manner in which it has been found to work, as may afford the means of placing it on a better foot ing ; for it is certain, that very indefinite notions exist in the minds of the public regarding the true advantages of compe tition and the mode of attaining them, as well as great mis conception and vagueness in their expectations of the result. " The arguments advanced in favour of competition are suf ficiently forcible. Emulation is said to be the soul of excel lence in the arts and sciences—the recognised talents of the elder professor are supposed to be maintained in activity and progressive improvement, and his employers to be pro tected from the routine manner, which security in public pa tronage and private practice are too apt to produce :—while an opportunity was afforded to the young aspirant, to take that place in public estimation to which his talents may en title him. Here then are two parties placed in juxtaposition with to tally dissimilar views, the one seeking to gain that, of which the other hazards the loss—unless therefore the invitation to enter the listsis so framed as to induce the best skill and ex perience to incur the risk, the good to be derived from com petition must be very problematical. The neglect of this preliminary condition, is in itself sufficient to frustrate the whole object of a competition. Upon this point the question arises, ' Are the parties, by whom competitions are esta blished, aware of tke result their proposals are calculated to produce ?' We know from experience that they are not, and that the first feeling produced by the examination of designs by such parties; as those by whom that duty is usually as - - sumed, is seldom other than that of disappointment. The committees or parties, to whom architectural designs are submitted for judgment, may be composed of persons of un impeachable ;-.4 frnm 1-110 onmpo.i. 'Au ut sucri committees, they almost inevitably consist of parties, whose attention has not been particularly directed to the acquirement of knowledge on the subject upon which they undertake to adjudicate. " This is a disadvantage so inherent in the system of com petition, that perhaps competitors have no right to complain of it. But both the public and the profession have great right to complain, when a judicature, so constituted, neglect any means in ,their power to assist them in forming a right selection ; and too many instances have been brought before your Committee of remissness on this point, when a very little attention to it might have placed the means of judging correctly within the scope of every person of common_sense. " It happens then that such parties for want of a degree of previous information, without which they would hesitate to decide upon the most ordinary business of life, are liable to be ignorant, that the advantage of competition to employers has its limits ; and that the productions of the competitors should be regarded, after all, as general ideas formed in the absence of the essential ingredient in the construction of a good design—viz. ample consultation with the employers, and a careful observation of their practical views, wishes, and ideas ; which the architect having attentively gathered, then moulds according to therules of art. Every experienced man knows that this confidential communication of ideas, is in truth the groundwork of the design. " The formation of the programme, upon which competitors are required to frame their designs, becomes therefore the first essential point for consideration, and a deficiency on this point is perhaps the most general evil in the present system. The precise objects to be obtained, the most desirable means of attaining them, the circumstances that must control the plan with regard to the site and other localities, the sum of money to be expended, and many other particulars of which every case of competition brings its own, are seldom ascer tained and settled, so as to lay the groundwork of well-de fined instructions upon which competitors may proceed. When the decision is to be made, the judges discover for the first time, that they have been ignorant of their own inten tions ; their loose and ill-digested instructions are abandoned altogether, and the architect, who has acted with the greatest good faith in adhering to them, is the first to be deprived of his reward. In another view of the case, an architect, who may have suggested a design not reconcilable with the crude, undigested, and perhaps contradictory misconceptions cast into the programme, may virtually exclude himself from the competition, and his employers from the adoption of his ideas. " When we consider architecture as a combination of science and art requiring great experience and taste, together with the important essential in its professors, of character and conduct in the execution of their works—when we con sider the variety of attainment necessary for the production of an architectural design, it is not too much to expect some corresponding qualifications, together with deep and patient consideration, on the part of those who take upon themselves to sit in judgment upon it." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—MoNDAN. CHARGE OF ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON. Margaret Jones was charged by a person named M'Nay, with having abstracted from his waistcoat-pocket the sum of six sovereigns under the following circumstances. Com plainant said he had met the prisoner soon after 12 o'clock on Sunday night, in St. James's -street, and afterwards missed his money, consisting of the amount stated, and also a farthing. He afterwards heard that the prisoner had de posited a sum of money with a Mr. Slater, keeper of an eating-house, in New Bond-street. He informed a polic officer, and the greater part of the money (X•f and the farth ing) was found, Mrs. Slater stating that the prisoner had de posited the money with her for safety.. The prisoner said that the complainant had paid her in copper and that she found the sovereigns amongst it, and left them with Mrs. Slater, so that he might receive them back on applying for them. She was commited for trial at the sessions. BURGLARY. William Hindley and John Swift, two young men, were placed at the bar, having been apprehended after breaking into a house in Toxteth-park, with intent to rob it. At 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoner Hindley, was ob served by a public officer to leap from off a wall on the pre mises of Mr. Job, Norton-street, Toxteth-park. He was without hat or shoes. He ran off, and, the officer pursued him along several streets before he succeeded in capturing him. It was afterwards found that the house had been broken open, two panes of glass having been taken out over the door, by which facility wa§ given to opening it, The parlour door was also forcibly broken open. A hat and a pair of boots were also found in the yard, where they had no doubt been left by Hindley. Inspector Pool afterwards came up, and commenced a further search, thinking Hindley might not have ben alone, nor was his conjecture unfounded. In a neighbouring yard he found an iron crow-bar or " Jim my ;" and in a pri v y, concea l e d un d er th e sea t, h e disco vered the prisoner Swift and brought him out. On compar ing the marks on the door with the crow-bar it appeared clear that that was the instrument by which entry had been obtained to the parlour. The timely detection of the depre dators had prevented them ftom carrying any things off. They were both committed for trial at the sessions. CHARGE OF THEFT, AND OBTAINING MONEY UNDER • FALSE PRETENCES. A young man named Michael Sweeney, stood charged with having stolen a great coat, the property of Robertson Gladstone, Esq. It appeared from the evidence that the great coat had been left in the stable on the Ist of May, and had been taken away. It was afterwards found in a pawn shop in Park=land, where it had been pledged by the pri soner. The prisoner acknowledged that he had taken it. Another charge against him was that he had obtained six tumbler glasses and a vinegar cruit from the glass warehouse of Messrs. Davenport, Canning-place, he alleging that they were for his master, (D. Lewis, Esq.) He afterwards sold them to a Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Lewis stated that he had not authorised him to procure any thing in his name. The prisoner had been in his (Mr. L's.) service, but had been discharged 10 months ago. The prisoner did not deny the charge. He was committed for trial at the sessions. The prisoner in reply to a question from the bench put by request of Mr. Lewis, said, that Mr. Lewis's present servant, who was in court, had in no degree connived in his (the pri soner's) offence. Mr. Lewis said he had every confidence in the honesty of his servant, who had himself suggested the question for his own satisfaction. COMMITMENTS FOR MINOR OFFENCES. Charles Morris, a boy, for attempting to pick a gentle man's pocket, one• month to the borough house of correc tion. Mary Ann Corkhill, for being found concealed in St. John's Market after the gates were closed at night, fourteen days.
