LONDON: SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1840. Lord BROUGHAM, last night, presented a petition from the Rational Religionists (Socialists, qy.), praying their Lordships to inquire into their doctrines, and the Bishop of EXETER was not present to impugn them or propose that the petition be kicked out of the House. The Marquis of WESTMEATH gave notice that he will move, on July 2, for the name of the persons to whom priest O'REILLY paid 501. for compromising an offence. The Estates Improv ent Bill was read a second time, after a few obj ons had been mad e by L or d o r PORTMAN ; several of er Bills were forwarded a stage, at.d before Six o'Gloolntheir Lordships adjourned. In the House of Commons a considerable debate took place on the Report of the Weavers' Churches Bill being brought.up with amendments. Mr. E. J. STANLEY moved that they be read a second time in six months, which was lost on a division by 227 to 157. Another debate ensued on the question that they be read a se cocd time, which was adjourned to Monday, and notices v( ere given of several amendments to the motion then to I” repeated. Lord STANLEY having moved the Committee on the Ir'sh R-gistration Bill, on the motion for the SPEAKER to leave the chair, Mr. SLANEY characterised Lord STANLEY'S Bill as giving every facility t) objectors, and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL' S as giving every facility to claimants. Before proceeding with either of the Bills he recemmended that the Legislature should Mne the franchise, and he warned the Tories of the consequences of coming into power with Ireland riotous and disaff4cted, anti England distressed and discontented. . Mr. O'CONNELL made a few observations, in which he justly complimented t dispassionate and rational obervations of the .Memille for Shrewsbury, and as signed them as a reason why he did not propose that the franchise be defined before any other measure on the subject can be proceeded with. In Committee on the third clause, which introduced, as Lord MORPETH said, the innovation of an annual registration, a long debate ensued, in the first instance an amendment was made to substitute six months' occupation for twelve months. Lord MORPETH moved an amendment to the clause, and the whole question was again discussed. Lord HowxcK sided with Lott] STANLEY. Lord STANLEY admitted that if he were de feated on the clause he should give up the 13:11 ; finally, the Committee decided, and the amendment was lost by a majority of 4,-275 voting for Lord STANLEY, and 271 against him. Oa the question that the clause stand part of the Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL moved that the Chairman report progress. Lord STANLEY, who had before shown himself petulant, and been rebuked by Lord NiORPETH, again showed his temper. Colonel Sm.:noise, in like manner, showed his wisdom ; hut the House resumed, the Committee to sit again on Tuesday. After transacting some unimportant bu incss, the House adjourned at a Quarter before One o'Clock. Lord STANLEY last rrght declared that if he vas defeated on a division, he would carry the Re gistration Bill no further ; and why, then, did Lord flowicK, Mr. AINSWORTH, and Mr. BAS SETT support the Noble Lord ? Is it that they can count noes as welt as Mr. STAN LEY and Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, and knes;/, therefore, that it depended on them to turn the scale and make themselves of importance ? The question turned on disfranchising the pre sent voters or not, and Lord Howtcx ar:d Mr. AINSWORTH voted for the disfranchisement. A s to Lord Howicx, he .is independent. Probably the Northumbtrland freeholders care nothing about his vote on this question, but the electors of Bolton pride themselves on supporting their Irish brethren against the Tories. We must -consider Mr. AINSWORTH, therefore, after his vote of last night, to be perfectly incorr;gible, and we I. quest the electors of Bolton to tell h:m so. Mr. CHARLES WOOD, we are happy to say, de'lined to be dragged through the dirt any further by Lord Howicx, and voted correctly. The narrow majority which supported Lord STANLEY was, even with the aid of Lord HOWICK, the result of accident. Mr. R. GORDON was shut out; so was Mr. G. LANGTON and others, and sickness and other chance _eircum .--..-• stances, prevented other Lib era l s from tiinhg pre sent. If they had attended, L or d • 1/4sTANLE would have been defeated, and the Bill put o and it will hardly Le expected that the I should the Bill pass, will obey a mischievous la , which is the result not of wisdom, but of accident. The Catholic priests, and the Catholic voters, at whose influence the Bill strikes, will find means, no doubt, to set aside an enactment to which the sleepiness and the indolence of one or two gentle men will give the authority of a law. We regret that Lord STANLEY was again suc eessful in th e H ouse o f C ommons last night, though it is now so plain that his Bill cannot be carried through Parliament, that to detain the House by discussing it is a mere waste of time. Lord STANLEY'S single object is, by whatever means, to damage the Ministry ; and to effect that he cares not what mischief he may inflict on the country. H e i s an excellent partizan, but a bad patriot. Mr. T. Durrco* B attention has a motion on book to call the the order of the House to the treatment of persons at present confined forpolitical snces. It was to on last night, but VW House of Commons delighting me much more in harrassing and worrying the people than in redress ing th%ir grievances, agreed to forwcao7lllßLt,s ord STA N LEY' ,!ill, and so Mr. T. Dux humane and , "ul m otion was postponed to next Friday. To help our r e aders to a conviction of the necessity necessity part of of some interference, we print in another The Sun the petition of Wm. PROWTING ROBERTS, confined in Fisherton gaol, for two years, for the ' offence of (political) conspiracy, and having at tended public meetings. We say not one word of the legality or illegality of the sentence, but we must repeat what we have before said, and which cannot be too often re peated, that the influence of such men as Mr. ROBERTS, and, consequently, every particle of danger to which their language, however vehement or energetic, exposes the public, arises , altogether from the condition and the feelings of those they address. Mr.ROBERTS or Mr. FEAR GUS O'CONNOR might harangue the whole body of the nobility and the priesthood for an eternity without the most remote probability of exciting them to mutiny. The same observation may he extended to the bulk of the middle classes. It is consequently the ignorance, the wretched ness, the prepared hearts and feelings of the lower classes which give life to the dema gogue's words, and make them dangerous to society. For the discontent and inflammable disposition of the multitude the Legislature and not the demagogue is responsible. With our opinions on the Corn-laws, and sundry other acts and omissions of the Legislature, we are bound to conclude and assert that it is far more guilty than the demagogue whom it punishes. He only casts • the seed into the ground ; the law-maker prepares the soil for its reception. We have before published Mrs. ROBERTS' petition, and by that her husband's case is known to our readers. His own petition, however, is drawn up with so much moderation, and with such an air of truth, and it sets before the public so complete a picture of what he suffers, that in spite of the rebukes we have received for expressing pity for him, we must solicit attention to his own statement. He is an attorney, and must therefore be presumed to have the feelings and habits of a gentleman. On entering prison, however, he was ' compelled to give up his money and his knife, was clothed in the prison garb, and had his hair cropped after the manner of felons. This was done, he believes, to degrade him. He was li mited to the prison allowance of bread and skilly, and could eat only the former. Sub sequently, by the surgeon's order, lest he should die frcm the diet, he was better fed, and now gets a dinner from the Governor's table. With a refinement of cruelty—such as that which watches over the man tied up to the halberts, and warns the Commandant when another lash might occasion death—the surgeon feels Mr. ROBERT'S pulse, looks at his tongue, and examines his glassy eye, to note the period when life is endangered by the bread and skilly, and when something more nourishing must be supplied to enable him to sup port the tortures of Fisherton gaol. Mr. ROBERTS says he is not allowed a knife, and must eat his meals in the most primitive fashion. He sees no newspaper, and is condemned to the silent system. He is allowed to know nothing which passes beyond the prison walls, and he will not hear of the fate of his petition till his release in March, 1842. In the same gaol is Mr. POTTS, convicted with him, but they are never suffered to see each other. Even the temple of the AL MIGHTY is made a gaol and a separate cell for each of them. He is allowed no books but such as the Chaplain approves of, and will only be suf fered to see his friends at such intervals and in such a humiliating position, that he will not avail himself of the miscalled indulgence. Unless his life should be in danger, he will see neither relation nor friend, and will hear nothing of the world for the next twenty-one months. He is rung to his cell at sunset, and rung up in the morning, passing through the twenty-four hours without the interchange of a single thought. However cold the weather, he is never to have either fire or candle. He dreads insanit3—as well he may—or idiotcy, and is almost ready to pray for death. If such a picture of suffering inflicted on a de cently educated mulatto or black in Jamaica by the planters, for haranguing the slaves on the miseries of their condition, were to be published in the Anti-Slavery Gazette, the whole broad land of England would rin g with cries of shame, and the laws of Jamaica an d the planters would be held up to universal! execration ; Exeter-hall would be crowded, deputations would come from all parts of the country, and our humane people would not rest till the victim of the planter's tyranny was re leased. Mr. ROBERTS has transgressed the laws which they look to for protection, and they visit him with more ruthless vengeance than the planters dared to inflict on their slaves. Than this silent exclusion from all society, from all knowledge of passing events, from all books, from all converse, with a stinted allowance of food, without occupation and without sufficient exercise, we can conceive nothing more horrible and more degrading. It is well calculated to make man worse than a beast. It is truly killing_ the soul. By slow tortures it stifles the mind. To see him who went in a robust man, glad in the emotions of his own heart, and proud of his own intellect, come forth a withered and a staring idiot, is a horrible reproach to our laws. For the very worst of cri minals, fora COURVOISIER or a GOULD, such a punishment would be too much, and would make them objects of pity, and • the laW an object of censure. But to doom an indi vidual to such a calamity for a mere political of fence—a warm heart, unrestrained by a prudent heal, is to make men execrate the law as a monstrous system of cruelty and injustice. It is remarkable that the sufferings of Mr. 110- 13 ears and other political prisoners are not the offspring of mad passion. They ale inflicted by cool calculating reason. They are means to attain an end. They are deliberately planned, and de liberately executed. They are amongst the latest devices of our most philosophical regulators of prisons. The silent and the separate system, on which they rely for the regeneration of criminals, are united in Fisherton gaol, and the certain result is a wish for death, which the gaoler admits by re moving every possible means of self-destruction, till reason is lost in mental imbecility. When we recollect that the counterpart of the individual picture which makes such an impression may be found in every cell of all the gaols of the empire, we begin to doubt whether the passions in their wildest and maddest form ever inflicted so much misery as the calm reason of the legislator planning ingenious devices for torturing man into virtue. It must, however; be easier, if the clergy speak truth, to wash the blackamoor white, than to make man other than a sinner. We rejoice to see that sound principles of bank ,ng begin to prevail. Theorists now discriminate between banking and bank-notes, and at once con clude that banking being only one branch of busi ness—like making hats, or cultivating land, which grows up in the progress of society, and is a neces sary part of the great system of division of labour —Legislators can know nothing about it, and ought not to interfere with it. Banking, like gas fitting, is a comparatively modem branch of business, with all the niceties and adaptations of which bankers are not themselves yet ac -quainted. Improvements are every day made in it. ,It is not forty years since the clearing-house was • established, and that was but one of many inven tions which have enabled bankers to facilitate pay ments, to economise the use of money, and to keep their clients' accounts. Against the Legislature interfering, therefore, with the business of the banker, any more than with the business of the butcher or the shipowner, there is now, we are -happy to say, a general remonstrance. Of course it can make no difference, so far as the State is concerned, whether the business of a banker be is true on bglitteny (saysintividual or by a company. Mr. Bailey) in regard to What an individual carrying on a trade, is true policy when indivi duals combine in partnership. When they unitearia there can be no more g roun d f or interference in with traders than when they wi:r e separate. Tae union ma) s create m a t s . t p a neccessity for additional r egu l at i on to secure the perform_ aece of engagements between th e p artners themselves, p and . between them and the public, or ot h erw i se to revent wrong, but it can occasion no call for interference in the management of their trade. The proper and profitable management of it will be secured in as high a degree as is practeable by the same . play of inter ests which we see so efftctual in the case of individual traders. The number of partners can obviously make no cllfference in the matter, whether two or two thousand. h, the latter case, a few still further laws might be necessary th an in the former, f o r the sake of convenience in adjusting any points of right and wrong which might arise between the partners them elves, and between the partnership an d other persona ; but a multiplicity of partners would still form no ground for interfering in the management of the business. Nor could there be any just or adequate. reason fcr limiting the number of partners by law. Pn. vate interest would determine the beneficial number with a precision unattainable by legislative regulations. Two would not unite unless they found it their interest to do so; and if a thousand found it their interest to unite, ncr . reason can be shown why they should be prevented. We may, hereafter, say something further of that particular portion of a banker's business, ex changing his ow❑ promises to pay on demand for the promises to pay of other dealers at some cer tain but distant period ; but we shall now observe that we cannot comprehend the science which as serts that the state can never advantageously under take to direct the trade of its subject=, which ad mits that bankers are traders, and yet obstinately persists in limiting and directing, or prohibiting, that part of their business which consists in issuing their own small credit notes fchr the larger credit notes of the merchant and manufacturer. The public cannot too soon form correct opinions on the question. There will be, we are much aft - aid, a demand for all the firmness which sound principles inspire, and for all the knowledge which much study can supply, in order to resist the attempts which will be made, and are now making, to decry local, private, and joint-stock banks. We mentioned yesterday a report that two such banks had stopped payment. Our City Corres pondent alludes to a report that the bills of a Manchester bank had been dishonoured. We are not surprised at it. The manufacturing districts are in great distress. There has been no spring trade of any consequence ; and the deficiency of trade must fall with great effect on those banks which have, by their accommodation, in hopes of improvement, contributed to keep the factories in work. Against them the monster Corporation of the metropolis has for some time past directed its energies to bring gold into our coffers ; it has avowedly struggled to keep prices low. At present its issues, though its notes are a legal tender, are not much above the half of what they were fifteen years ago. While the country and - joint-stock banks have done what they could to relieve our suffering trade, the Bank of England has done what it could to injure it ; and, as its power is great, we are not surprised that some:country joint stock banks have been stifled by it. We have, however, the satisfaction of believing that its con duct will be the means of giving correct knowledge to the public, and make them refuse any longer to tolerate a monopoly granted when the theory of banking was utterly unknown, and when the prac tice was most narrowly and imperfectly developed. To those who have looked with any degree of attention at the proceedings of the Non-Intrusion party in the Kirk of Scotland, it has been pretty clear from the outset that the leaders of the insur rectionary movement have been playing a double and deceitful game. Their conduct has been cha racterised, pre-eminently by insincerity—not to use a harsher term—and even their dupes, those whom their sanctimonious professions had blinded to their real designs, have now discovered that the zeal which blazes so fiercely, to all appearance, for the rights of the people, is not altogether unmixed with carnal self-interest. It is now more than suspected by many of the "unto gude" themselves that the " rights of the people," so lustily clamoured for by the Nem-Intrusion Ministers, mean, in reelity, no thing else than the rights of the Clergy, and that the sole object of the originators and supporters of the Veto Act is to increase the power of the Church under the pretence of extending the liberty of the people. The Veto Act itself leads directly to this con clusion. Had Dr. CHALMERS and his high-fly ing friends been sincere in their desire to give the people the rights to which they say they are en titled, they would not have sati s fi e d th emse l ves w i t h such a meagre half me asure as t h e V eto A ct . t They must, on that supposition, have gone a con siderable way farther in the same direction, instead of stopping, as they have done, at the first stage of their journey. The principle of that Act is that the people have a right to reject a minister pre sented by a patron, without assigning any reasons. It is sufficient that he does not edify them—that he is unacceptable to them—in short, that they do not like him: This is the broad principle from which Dr. CHALMERS has over and over again declared that he and those who act with him, that is, the majority of the ministers of the Kirk, will never depart a hair's-breadth. Nov!, it must strike every person with astonish mentvery person who casts a cursory glance at the condtict of this party—that these would-be stick lers for popular liberty, do not see the stultifying inconsistency into which they have fallen by the very narrow and arbitrary limits within which they have confined their boasted principle. If the peo ple have a right to reject a minister on the groued that he does not edify them, they have, beyond all question, a right to eject a minister already settled, on the same ground. The principle contended for is, to all intents and purposes, as much an ejec tion principle as a Non-Intrusion principle. It is surely not unreasonable to suppose that a popular minister may become unpopular —an edifying mi nister 'unedifying. This may occur either from a change taking place in the minister or in his flock, who, in fact, are perpetually changing as the old die off and the young grow up. What, in such a case, becomes of the " rights of the people ?" Why, the people, in all such cases, are saddled with an unedifying, unacceptable minister, for the term of his naturallife, and thus the Non-Intrusion principle—held so indispensable to the existence of a Christain Church—is violated and set at nought on those very occasions when, were it anythin g but a pretext, it ought to be most strictly enforced. Can any reason be assigned by the concoctors of the Non-Intrusion principle for not carrying it out to its full, legitimate, and efficient extent ? Per haps they thought they had no chance of success in their endeavours to establish it ? That con sideration, it is clear, could have no weight with men of principle. The law, peradventure, stood in their way, and they could not, as ministers of the Gospel of Peace, bring themselves to set the people against the law of the land, which they themselves had sworn to obey ? Their own prompt and submissive obedience to the decision of the highest tribunals of the country, and the unwearied exertions which they have used to inculcate a si milar submission on others, render this supposition extremely probable. At all events, we trust no body will imagine that the temporal interests of the " order" had anything to do with the mutilation of the Non-Intrusion principle. Tile Paris Jaurnals of Thursday add nothing to the intelligence from Spain, and very little of interest to the news from Afric:t, published in Wednesday's Papers. The Commerce publishes a proclamation, addressed by CABRERA to the Spanish Carlists, dated Berga, the 13th instant, in which that miscreant avows that it was his intention to have shot Ge'era' SEGARA ; that on the previous day be shot Don Louts CASTANOLA ; and that all his butcheries were ordered and approved of by Dan CARLOS. Why does not the Spanish Govern ment set a price on the bead of thin blood-thirsty wretch ? He is not a soldier, but an assassin—a cold blooded demon-hearted murderer. A curious scene took place in the French Chamber of Peers on Wednesday. On the bringing up of some Money Bills several Noble Peers, aware that the maj )- rity of the Deputies had left Paris, considering the bu siness of the Session virtually at an end, took it into their heads to assume a vast legislative importance by a particular examination of the estimates, and the pro• posal of sundry amendments. After several Peers had spoken, M. THIERS rose and rebuked the spirit mani tested by the Chamber. The PRESIDENT of the Council stated that the Peers were going beyond their proper functions, which were to repress the too rapid march of the Deputies, and to allow the country time for deliberation ; not to inter fere with a vie .' to defeat Money Bills voted by large majorities of the nation's representatives. This administration of official correction called up the Ex- President of the Council Count MoLE, who contended lustily for the pri ilege of his " Order." The Cham ber of Peers was, be maintained, the second branch of the Three Estates of the Realm, and was legally an d constitutionally competent to examine, modify, approve, or reject, any bill coming before it. The Peers were in high feathers, and plucked up fresh courage with every cheer elicited by the oratory of their champion. At last, in a fit ofdesperate courage, they proceeded to vote, when, to the surprise of themselves, as much as to the astonishment of the Government, M. THIERS obtained only a majority of 18 votes out of 116. But such spasmodic exhibitions of independence on the part of the Chamber of Peers can only increase the national contempt for that Assembly. The Peerage of France can bear no comparison as regards wealth and popular influence with the Peerage of Great Britain ;'and it is the excess of folly on its part to ape the lofty beating of an English House of Lords. The French Government, we are delighted to learn, is preparing instructions to all the Governors of slave bolding colonies relpecting the inquiries to be made about the best mode of carrying out the great work of slave emancipation. The following from Constantinople, dated Bth inst., is supplied by the Smyrna Journal:—" It appears that a step in advanc e has been made in the. Eastern question, tho representative of France at London having shown some disposition to yield to the views of the other powers, .stipulating at the same time for certain coneegpi , ns and new arrangements which they are inciincd to accede to Chozrow Pacha is definitelS , removed from the office of Grand Vt zir, and is succeeded by Raouf Pads. Other changes have been made in the Administration, but they are not yet known." When the regiments, which are ordered to Algeria, have arrived at their destination the army in Africa will consist of fourteen regiments of the Line, of the Foreign Legion, of five regiments of Light Infantry, of the regi ment of the Zouaves, of the battalion of the Tirailleurs of Vincennes, of the Ist, 23, and 3d battal ons of Light In fantry of Africa, of five regiments of cavalry (viz., the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th chasseurs of Africa, and the regi ments formed of the horse soldiers who came from France), of some squadrons of Spahs of Oran, Bona, and Con stantine, and of the troops of all the spec;al corps. The following is the augmentation of the army of Africa since the renewal of hostilities in the month of November last year. From the 12th of December to the 20th of January there- arrived at Algiers, to reinforce the aroly, 20,500; from January 20 till now 10,500; troops on the point of embarking, 41 ; total reinforcements, 35 000. The effecti ve , 66 000. army amounted to 38,001. Total, 73 , 00 0.

It is announced besides that 5,000 men will shortly arrive at Toulon and Marseilles, taken from the several regiments in the garrison of the south ; each furnishes 300 men, who will be successively embarked in the men-of-war and packet-boats. They are to fill up the vacancies of the army of Africa, occasioned by wounds and sickness. A letter from Toulon of the 20th of June says : " Orders are come to organise immediately in the war establishment five companies of the 31 Marine Regiment, and embark them in the Agnate and Turn, to be conveyed to La Plata. It has been necessary to take a great number of conscripts, who scarcely know how to handle their arms. There is such a scarcity of officers i n th e camps, b ecause the Minister persists in making no promotions, that it has been necessary to take some from the companies that re main here."—Le Commerce. 13OU1tSE.--PARI94 THURSDAY, JUNK 25. 1. irst Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.--The ope rations of the hay harvest have commenced in this neighbour hood (Do ncas t er ) , an d t h e produce o f some fields has been secured. The crop s a re genera ll y h eav y, except on the higher and li g ht er d escr i pt i ons of so il . The weat h er , however, with . n the last few daos, has been unsettled, and some check , conse quently, h as been put to the labours of the cultivator. W ith regard t o th e severa l descriptions of corn cops, their appear ante at the p resent t i me is not equal to expectati on. T hey seem to h ave su ff ere d from several days con tinued showe rs which fell some time ago. accompanied by chill and piercing legalities, present the appearance of being eastern winds. In many instances, indeed, the effect of these severe winds is visible on the foliage of the trees which, in some much improvement may take place, it, happily, more favour wheat crops appear short, thin, and stunted ; and, although able weather shoald prevail, there is not presented that hope of luxuriance and fruitfulness which appeared to be sufficiently warranted some time ago. The same remark applias to other descriptions of grain ; and it is not too much to assert, that the aspect which is presented around falls short of previous antici pations.—Doncaster Gazette. OLD FABLE. —It happened that Fire, Water, and F.,me, going to travel together, they consulted, that if they lost one another, how they migl.t meet again : Fire said— " Where you see smoke, there you shall find roe ;" Water said— . Where you see marsh and moorish low ground, there you , shall find me;" but Fame said—" Take heed how you lose me, for if you do, you will run a great hatard never to meet me i i again—there's no retrieving me,"—Literqry World. I)PwilYb:ighted. The EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY ( B4ore Lord ABINGER and a S;:ecial Jury.) 11ORG9N . V. TaORN..—CRINI. CON. Mr. THESIGER (witl, whom was stated that this was an action instituted b) the father of the plaintiff, for the purpose of obtaining a verdict of the Jury against the defendant for criminal conversation with th) wife of the plaintiff, on which to found ulterior proceed ings. In the year 1837, the plaintiff, then a young lad of between sixteen and seventeen, was at school at H trrow. In his rambles he met with the woman now his wife, who was the daughter of the post-mistress at Ealing.. She was a handsome woman, but older than the plaintiff, and she managed to enveigle him into a marriage. The moment his friends were made aware of the unfortu nate circumstance they took him away, and sent him abroad to finish his studies—and abroad he still remained. The father of the plaintiff had heard rumours of the misconduct of Mrs. Morgan, and he employed Ballard and Goddard, two experienced officers of the old police force to watch her conduct, which they did, and the result was that they found she was in the almost daily habit of coming up to town and meeting the defendant. Their conduct after they met would be detailed in evidence, which he would lay before them He would lay the case before the Jury, and take what damages the Jury pleased to give him. Damages were not the object they sought—he said at once that they wanted a verdict for the purpose of obtaining a di vorce. He then called the clerk of ailing to prove the marriage. lie thought the young man appeared about 20 years of age. There were none of the friends of the parties present. He also called two of the schoolfellows of the plaintiff, to prove that he was only 17 years of age. Ile then called Wm. Ballard--Was formerly a pol'ee-officer. The father of the plaintiff employed him and Goddard on the 17th of March to watch the proceedings of Mrs. Morgan. They went down to Ealing that day, and they passed Mrs. Morgan at Shepherd's Bush. She bowed to the coachman, and knew her th it way. They left the coach and returned and met her. He then saw her face, and knew her after. He engaged Mrs. Barstow to watch her, as they found she was in the habit cf coming to London in the omnibus. They went daily to Hyde Park-corner; when Mrs. Morgan c ime to town, Mrs. Barstow was to accompany her and make a :ignal by shaking her handkerchief. They came up on the 19th. Witness followed the omnibus. Mrs. Morgan got down and went into Ely-place. She came out of that place in company with Mr. Thom. They walked several times up arid duwn Hatton-garden, and then separated. She afterwards went in an omnibus to the Bank, She there met Mr. Thorn, who had a brown paper bad•. They both got in.o a Highbury omnibus. Heand Goddard rode out side. The parties got down and went up the Hornsey-road. They crossed several fields, and at last went into the back pre mises of Almond Cottage, the residence of Mr. Thorn. They stopped from six o'clock till half-past ten at night, when they drove off in a chais". Again, on the 27th, they saw her alight from the Ealing omnibus at Ely-place. She bad then a spaniel with her. She and Mr. Thorn passed into Hatton-garden. They only spoke together fora short time and parted. She went to Torrington-square, where Mr Thorn met her in his gig, and they drove away. On the 7th April the same things took place ; again on the 10th, and several other days. On the 14th April he saw her put down at Ely-place, where she was met by the defendant. In the afternoon, she went to Black friars-road, where the defendant was waiting with his gig. They drove down to Dartford. Put up at the 8..11 and George. They stopped there till two o'clock next day, when they started for town. On the 24th April he saw them meet again. When they parted he followed Mr. Thorn, who went to his shop in Holbprn. Cross examined by Mr. Pniwes.—He had been paid between 601. and SOL for time and expenses. He charged 11. Is. a day. He was aware that it might be said he was acting as a spy, but he did not think he was acting infa mously. He thought it was proper that people who were acting improperly should be exposed. He expected to be paid for the time he lost in waiting upon the Courts. Henry Goddard corroborated all that had been given in evidence by the former witness. The waiter and the chambermaid of the Bu'l and George, Dartford, proved the arrival of the parties at that house, where they had a sitting and bed-room. They were there on the 14th April, and also a fortnight befo.e. They dined together, and slept in the same room on both occa sons. They were identified by Ballard and Goddard ca:ling their attention to the parties on the 15th April. On that occasion they slept only one night. On the first visit they slept there two nights. This was the case for the plaintiff. His LORDSHIP said this was clearly a case for nominal damages only. Whether the action was maintainable was a question of law which might be settled hereafter. It did not appear whether the plaintiff was even cognizant of the action ; he might not sanction it. However that would be a question for the Court. Mr. KELLY wanted the Jury to find whether the adultery had been committed or not. His LORDSHIP said, if he pleased, he might go the Jury upon it, and take bis chance. . • A 3 Mr. Kelly, was obliged to go into the Queen's Bench, Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jary. His LorJship summed up ; and the Jury returned a verdict for tLe plaintiff—Damages is. THE MAAKETS-(THiS DAY.) NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Butcher Meat was in good supply.

Eustace, the Rev. Dr. Drury, Rev. W. Oxnam, Mr. H. Sloane Stanley, Rev. Messrs. W. Harness, E. D. Leigh, C. T. Robinson, &c. The company did not exceed fifty. The customary toasts were well received, and, after a delightful evening, the party sepa rated a little before eleven. The Very Rev. Mr. Mathew has received an invitation from the Edinburgh Catholic Temperance Society to visit that city, and in reply states that he wilt proceed to Scot land at the earliest opportunity ; when he hopes Christians of all denominations will unite in promoting the temperance cause. The question which was raised against the qua lificat!on of the Tontine filly which won the Jockey Club Prize at the last Chantilly races has, after a minute investigation by the Club, been decided in her favour, and the stakes have been paid over to her owner, M. E. Aumont. It is a curious anomaly, which, perhaps, the Postmaster-General can exp l a i n, that before the " acceleration" of the mails, a letter posted at Christchurch would reach Salis bury in four hours; it now takes two days to accomplish the transmission.— Wilts Independent. EXTREMES OF WEATHER.—On the longest day, the 22d instant, the air was close and sultry, with thun der-showers ; an d a storm of some violence assed along the Grampians and Sidlaws. Next morning the Bramar Mountains appeared covered with snow. —Perth Courier. DISTRESSIN G AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Saturday evening last, as a mason, named George Pauley, was at work on a high ladder at the gaol, Penzance. am empty gig proceeded over the hill at a rapid pace, and dashing against the ladder with great vielence, threw the poor man to the ground front a height of about thirty-five feet, injuring him so dreadfully, that he died almost immediately. The gig it app:ars had been driven by Messrs. Matthew Dugdale and Richard Botheras, who are said to have been intoxicated, and to have driven furiously, in consequence of which they were throwr. out. The Coroner's jury, in giving their verdict of Accidental D,tth, severely censured the conduct of Dugdale and Botheras, and agreed to a deodand of ss. on the gig. DEATH FROM FURIOUS DRIVING.—In our last we gave an account of the death of a female named Sarah Harrington, who was thrown from the roof of the Redßovaert coach, bet ween W o l ver h ampton an d Penkridge, which, the time of the accident, was at full gallop to keep the lead of a rival omnibus, also at its graatest rate of speed at the time. An inquisition was held on Thursday last before Henry Smith, Esq., Coroner, when, after a long and careful examination of the witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Robert Mirvin and John Bennett, the foemer tha driver of the coach, and the latter the driver of the omnibus, with a deodand of 0 5/. on the coach and horses, and 101. on the amid. bus and horses ; and the Coroner issued his warrant for th e ap . prehensi on of oth drivers Worcester Paper.

MINE ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, as a man named Peter Vial, was at work at North Roskear mine, a plank, of about five feet burg, fell from the winze brace, a depth of nearly thirteen fathoms, and struck him on the hem', which caused a very severe fracture of the skull. The poor man is still alive, and hopes are entertained of his ultimate re covery. FACTS ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA.— The fol lowing facts have been extensively circulated, for the purpose of inducing emigration :—Fact I. The climate of the Cape of Good Hope is equal in salubrity to any in the world. 2. There are neither convicts nor slaves there. 3. The followiror is a list of some of it s exports :— Wi ne, ostrich feathers, buckskins, salted beef, figs, honey, argol, oats, vinegar, wool, aloes, gum arsbic, tallow, dried fruits, wax, wheat, beans and lentels, to bacco, ivory, hides, and horns, butter, raisins, lemon juice, train oil, barley, brandy, horses and mules, lion, leopard, and ostrich skins. 4.

AN UNIMPEACHABLE WlTNESS,—OnThurs day, a man was charged before the magistrates at Monmouth with murdering his wife, but while the investigation was going on the woman herself appeared, and the prisoner, who appeared to be insane, was of course immediately discharged.— Hereford Journal. THE CHARTISTS.—The inhabitants of this county ( Wiltshire) and of the kingdom in general, are well ac quainted with the occurrences that took place here on the Ist of April, 1839, when a party of pour half-starved weavers from Trowbridge were assaulted, beaten most cruelly, and driven out of the town by a band of ruffians, consisting of some of the rabid Tories of this place, aided by a number of fanners from the neighbourhood, with their labourers, and a large body of railway-men, hired for the occasion, and armed with blud geons. A more cowardly assault was never committed; the poor weavers made no resistance, tnd thus afforded exactly the sort of antagonists the brave Tories of Devizes love to encoun ter. It seems they have applied to the Mayor for leave to place a tablet on the Market Cross, on which this, to them, disgraceful proceeding, may be recorded, but the Mayor has properly refused to grant it.— Wiltshire Independent. It is a curious fact, that, for upwards of seventy years past, all marriages of parties resident in Lyncombe and Widcombe have been solemnized in St. James's cherel; ; the former parish having lost the privilege of ee!,4e;aiing marriages at its parish church. IThe parishiimors have long felt this to be a grie7ance ; they twill, therefore, be gratified to learn that the most strenuous efforts are being made by the present esteemed Rector of Bath and his clergy to res'ore the long-lost privilege. —Bath Herald. ----- From the returns made by the Landon Fire Es tablishment, it appears that, dti:•ing the last six months, upwards of 300 conillgrations have occurred in the metropolis.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE —The new comedy called Ins and Outs, l ercormed at this theatre last evenings is written, we believe, by Mr Mark Leman, well known for his little spirited pieces. It has all the characteristic of his pecu liar style—simple contrivance, bustling incident, and clever dialogue. The plot turns upon the " in; and outs" and "•upg and downs of life" which convert a palish beadle into a Lord Mayor, and a merry-hearted I r i s h fortune-huntino ioto a military suitor of the Lord Al ayor ' s daughter. fortune-hunting swindler Th • MO man is encouraged by the Lady Alayoress, who is puffed"UP with her new dignity, to the exclusion of an honourable young tradesman, to whom the daughter is really attached. Au old " friend of the family," however, brings justice about, makes the young tradesman elope with the daughter, saves the Lord Mayor from becoming a binkrupt when his mayoralty is up, and hands the Irishman over to the authorities of the 10; The whole humour of the piece consists in the wit of Paddy and the excellent situations into which the characters are occasion" ally thrown. Par example, when the Lady Mayuress st her first entertainment has to receive an upholsterer, of whom 0 0 contemplates ordering goods, and a 3linister, with whom she would curry favour, cue mistakes the one for the other, Po asks the Minister if he is not in the cabinet way, ate! the up bolsterer what is doinThiu the House ; and so on to the very death and discovery of equieogue. The little dramatic trifle drew down shouts of laughter,. and was announced for nightly repetition. Mr Brougham represented Paddy well, end it : es almost needlese,teesay that Mrs. Orgee was every inch, .a, Lady Mayoress. . " s BRITISH SEAMAN —" You have been prisoner but a Month," he resumed, " and I have been so for thirty-three years. Yes, my friend, lam a prisoner to the sea: , it confines me on every side ; waves, nothing but waves : I See nothing else,. I .hear nothing else. My hair has grown gall amidst their foam, and my back become somewhat bent ahead, under their spray. I have spent so little time in England thst I know it only by the map. My country is an ideal being's which I have merely had a glimpse of, but which I serve like's slave, and which treats me with the more severity the move need it has of me."—Napier's Military Life. EXTRAORDINARY SPEED ON A RAILWAY.* —The first trip made by the new locomotive engine of Messrs. Laird, Kitson, and Co., with passengers, on t he North Mid land Railway, proved the power and speed of the engine. It travelled on Friday week from Rather ham to Derby, taking very heavy train of passengers —the latter part of the distance no less than five hundred—most of whom were going to Derby Fair ; and the journey, which is upwards of 39 miles, was'Pet" formed in an hour and twenty-five minutes. In returning, the engine, with only the tender attached, ran ten miles in ei ght minutes between Belper and Cl ay C ross T unnel, being st:te rate of seventy-five miles per hour. SCHOOL OF DESIGN.—The annual tion of the premiums took place yesterday in the old Exhibition` Room at Somerset House. The Right Hon. H. Laboueheree M.P., acted as chairman, and a number of Members of Para liament and artists (among others, Sir D. Wilkie, Mr. Cockerell, and Mr. Eastlak) were present. Some of th e ;drawings are very ex ce ll en t, an d i t i s sa i d that the rooms w i ll be open to the public, by tickets, for two or thr e e days the: tn week ensuing, to allow th em t o be inspected. UNPARALLELED PRECOCITY.—' , Isn't be , la fine child ?" said a young mother to a visitor, as she proudly exhibited her first-born. " The handsomest boy as I ev er saw," was, of course, the instant reply of the old bachelor ,to whom the appeal was made. Yes ; bless his little heart !" ex claimed the better-half author of the little bantling ; an d very forward of his age, don't you think ?" Ireryf'orward , said the echo. And, as the young matron removed the car from her Babby's head, the inexperienced bachelor continue°, in evident amazement, Bless me, he is forward ! I never before saw a person baldheaded so soon !" • HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—M - adame Gri st took her benefit on Thu .sday, and the occasion was mem orable/ being the last of the p er f ormance of 11 Barbiere.

Always a favourite, it has been peculiarly i n terestint this year from th e c i rcumstance of Lablache taking the p a r t o Dr. liattolo. A selection from Donizt...tti's L' Elisir, follow-ear and the beautiful ballet of L' Oinbre concluded the evening The house was crowded to overflow. PROPOSED NEW LIBRARY.—On WedrfeS'" day a public meeting was held to adopt means for the este''' . biishment of a new public library in London, consisting of a m extensive and valuable collection of works in general literatecet the subscribers to w hi c h s h a ll h ave the privilege of :,sorrowing' books from the institution for the purpose of reading them at home. It had b een announced that Lord Clarendon would preside . preside on the occasion, but in c onsequence o f hi s Lordship* absence, Lord Eli o t was vote d i nto the chair. Mr. Car l y " ! Mr. Millman, Mr. Cornwall Lewis, Mr. R. M. Manes; Lo t ! Monteagle, and other gentlemen attended ; but the number of persons present was not very guest, though the room in which the meeting took place, being small, was filled. The Noble Chairman having in a few words stated the object for which t he meeting had been convened, 'Lord Monteaglet and other Gentlemen addressed the assembly, stronAly urging il l necessity of the es t a bli s h ment of the proposed library ; several of them stated that they knew, from their own Mr rience, that the want of such an institution was much felt. The new institution is intended to occupy a middle between the p resent c i rcu l at i ng l ibraries and the library of the` British Mu seum , com bi n i ng the advantages of both. Like t he' latter it will con t a i n au extensive collection of really goo" isal useful works, whi c h, i n i m i tat i on of the plan of the forme r s ! will be circ u l a t e d among t h e subscribers to be read at their ossm residences. A reso l u ti on d eclaratory of the necessity of est_i_l; blishing the prop ose d lib rary was put, and immediately aseesne- ' to by the me e ti ng and it was n ex t reso l ve d that the i nst itutiow should be l oca t e d in som e cen t ra l s i tuat i on, such as-Charing:- cross, and that the sub scr i pt i on t h ereto should be moderate is amount.

The numerous attempts made at the Prt, • sent day to rend er p oor Feop l e religious by denying them hea l ' ' thy recreation an d en j nyment, and shutting them out from they contemplation of th e wor k s of nature and art, on the orekr day of the w ee k i n w hi c h they can enjoy them, is wort hy only of a h ea th en ago and a priest-ridden Prsore. Look at th e p os i t i on o f the working classes cif this. country. For si x d ays o f the week their lot is al— most incessant toil—u nrem i tt i ng, unhealthy, and t o o often'. unprofitahle toil. L a t e and early, summer and win". ter, through youth and old age, are they chained like galley slaves, to the car; tugg i ng hard against the stream of poverty which eve r th rea t ens to engulph them. Within the last fey' weeks, it has been decided by the proprietors of bo'h the Shef field and Liverpool Botanic Gardens that these places of re sort should be closed to the public on Sundays. The same resolu tion has long ago been come to by the proprietors of the Leeds; Zoological Gardens; as well as by those of several other large towns in the no r th o f E ng l an d . And what is the operation o f this er.actment ? Why, th a t th ousands of working Teen en' f their families are virtually excluded from these places of resort en the only day of the week on which they have any respite from toil and labour. To the poor day-drudges, who press out of town on, that day to inhale a breath of fresh air, after the unhealthy and irksome occupations of the week, it is wanton privation and insult. But the pretence of " religion" is put forward ; and a partieularcare' is expressed for the preservation of the morals of the poor ! Anil this glaring fraud is actually vended in the face of the undoubte" fact that the inevitabl e e ff ect of the exclusion is to drive people into beer- shops, publi c h ouses, and other place% of resort, w here the recreation is of a ch less innocent nature than that en joyed the Botanic the Zoological Ge.rdens.—Leeds Ti mes JUDGES OF FORMER DAYS.—" Sir Robert Hyde was a cousin of Lord Clarendon, and presided over the King's Beech only from October, 1663, to his death by apoplex y in May, 1665, h av i ng previously:sat as a Pusine Judge of 61 " Common P eas from the Restoration, In the five years during which h, thus held the judicial office he sufficiently si`rna; lised his hi g h prerogat i ve zeal, but he ettablished' no fella'''. reputation. .His royalism was expressed with extraordinary t vehemence this same year in trying one Twyn for printing et seditious book, of which it appeared the poor man had never yead,a word ; when, after be had _sentenced the i r prisoner to' suffer, in all 'its horrible details, the death of a traitor, in' answer to his humble supplication that he would remember his condition, with three small children, and innocent of any evil t intention, and intercede for him with hii - Majesty, he replied*' I would not intercede for my own father in this ewe, if kw were alive.' This was taking a strong view of the matte A' cert tinly. With an instinctive foreknowledge of his rr,an, Chief Justice Hyde was a great patron of my Lord . Kesepee North in the commencement of his forensic course. Neerth's brother Roger says, This Judge was industriously fav eurablet to his Lordship, calling him cousin in open court, w . eich was' a eeclaration that he would take it for respect to ' fl i a .,„ie to bring him causes, and that is the best account that zit) be givers of a favourite.' But Hyde is chiefly:famous 'es the 'Judge of Assize who tried, on the Western Circu t, shat ie called the case of the Campden murder, in which, three persons were convicted of and h ange d f or the murder of a man whose dead body had not b een found, and who a f terwards turned out to be alive."—Knight's English Coultas Celebres.
