P re - ! f el-It 'd tinder i ts m ild est and best form, the State is, 1 °' the bulk of the people, much more an instru -1,,, but of re s t ra i nt than of protection. It coerces, ....,,,, : does not reward them. It enslaves, without leeding them. They feel its taxes, they are conti t. - "ally threatened with its punishments ; its benefits L ' are re mote, theo re ti ca l, an d d ou b t f u l. That is "Ile of the State under its best aspect ; but when it is avowedly the instrument of a sect, or a party — when all the laws are made by one class, for class purposes—when all the restraint, coercion, and punishment are for one class, and all the liberty, wealth, and honours for another, the State becomes, and has at present become in England, only a name for oppression, and it excites the general dislike, not to say the hatred of the people. To associate religion with such a contrivance, is at least impolitic. She immediately becomes in vested with all the characteristics of her protector, and she is looked on with suspicion and hatred by those whom she is expected to win over to her paths, which are ways of pleasantness and of peace. If, in addition to this general alliance, her ministers make it their especial business to uphold any particular oppression ; if they sit in the Ma gistrate's chair and administer an unjust law harshly ; if they side with the landowners in enforcing NI the observance of a starving people, a corn.law and a game-law, they must make religion odious to the people. This is, for the rulers of society, a most lamentable conse quence. They look on religion as the means of reforming the vicious, and civilizing the rude ; and, by associating her with oppression and tyranny, they destroy her power. They convert a healthy aliment into poison, and spread disease and death where they mean to promote health and hap piness. What makes the Papal religion hateful to Protestants ?—lts dogmas, its idolatry, its splendid worship ? No, but its alliance with State tyranny, in an attempt to crush the rising liberties of Europe. We saw during the last Session of Parliament a petition presented against the State, signed by 1,200,000 persons—a sign of the general discon tent. Those petitioners are only a portion of the great multitude who regard the State, as now con stituted, with aversion. Since the Session was at an end we have seen a portion of the people sepa rate themselves from the Presbyterian Church—by far the most acceptable to the people—because the parsons of the State religion supported and recom mended political oppression. They sided against the people, and the people have repudiated their doc trines. These facts, indicative of the current of opinion, are well calculated to make our rulers, both lay and clerical, take heed to the paths of their feet. They certainly are alarmed, but they only seize the more firmly hold of their system. Our states men call for more coercion. Our landlords rally everywhere around the Corn-laws, and betray a stolid resolution to adhere to their unrighteous system of starving the people. The clergy go with the landlords, and couple religion with famine, as if that would make the people in love with it. At a great meeting of die Hinckford Agricultural and Conservative Club, held on yesterday week, a Rev. Mr. D UNDAS described spiritual instruction as ne cessaryto render the kingdom prosperous ; and a t the same meeting a Rev. Mr. Cox defended the Corn-laws on the authority of the Bible. Religion and the advocacy of famine there went hand in hand, and the former will by such means be made acceptable to the people, whenever ragged starva tion becomes agreeable. The DEVIL, it is said, can quote Scripture: the Rev. Mr. Cox only proved that he could quote it for a devilish purpose. Because JOSEPH'S brethren, who knew nothing of manufac tures, and had little or no commerce, were obliged to become bondmen to Pit ArtAorr in,order to get food, which they had no means of buying, he gravely argued that the English, who have the means of buying food, must become bondmen if they buy it from any persons but English land lords. He binds the people in heavy bondage to them, lest they should become the bondmen of other landlords. Of what consequence is it to the English manufacturer in Lancashire whether he be the bondman of a man who speaks his own language in Kentucky, or of another man who speaks his own language in Essex ? Mr. Cox declares that this is c onsistent with the religion he teaches ; the mass of the priest hood take the same line, and a more infallible method of bringing the religion they teach into contempt and hatred could not be invented. If the whole body of the priests thus engaged in defend ing an unrighteous system of plunder, should, by and by, be declared a nuisance, whom will they have to thank for it but themselves? These men seem to think that all nature is to submit to them. Those who first taught Christian ity took a different course. They preached liberty and independence, and won the heart by , ministering to its aspirations. Modern missionaries succeed by a similar method, and the savages whom they most readily convert to Christianity are first awed by the power or seduced by the skill of civilized man. Our great philosopher, Lord VERULAM, and the priests, are directly at variance. He taught that man could only subdue nature by studying her ways ; they go forth to conquer in spite of her. Like Mr. Cox, they propose to make religion triumphant by setting her up in opposition to the appetites and desires of man. Where they have succeeded, however, they have done so in spite of their own precepts, and by conforming to the wisdom Of BACON. They recommend, for example, moderation, tem perance, and prudence ; and all the course of human affairs shows that these virtues promote the happiness of mankind. Had it been otherwise ordered, had moderation invariably conducted to misery, had tetnperance been continually followed by disease and ill-health, had prudence been always unsuccessful, they might have preached in vain in favour of moderation, temperance, and prudence. They recommend the union of one man and one woman, which is agreeable to nature, for she has ordained that the number of males and females shall be equal. If it had been otherwise, if she had established a relation between the number of males and females of the human species similar to that which prevails amongst domestic fowls, the plan of uniting one man to one woman must have been a complete failure. It is therefote by con forming to the laws of natute, that the priests can effect any good ; and when they preach up sub mission to starvation as a religious duty, they must end by bringing their own vocation into merited contempt. attend the QUEEN REGENT at Valencia, and was ; to set out front the capital the night these journals left for London.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY•) The Tory Journals, which have suddenly found out that the financial measures of her Majesty's Ministers are most unsound, seem to have wholly forgotten that they had the approbation of their party on May 15th, when they were proposed. Mr. GOULBURN, indeed, ventured to throw out a doubt whether the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- QuEn would reap all the advantage he expected from the increased rates ; but Sir It. PEEL, and the whole of the party, applauded the plan, and urged forward the CHANCELLOR in establishing a permanent system of taxation, which should bring up the revenue to the expenditure. Sir R. PEEL said—" Ile was favourable not only to the pr►n ciple of the Right Hon. Gentleman's plan, namely, increased taxation to meet existing difficulties, b►.t also to the general principle of the imposts pro posed." There was a division on the Budget, but it was on a mot►on of Mr. HumE, hot on an ob jection raised by the Tories. For the increased scale of taxation the Tories are as much responsible as the Whigs, and for the diminished product they are chiefly or wholly to blame. The Mad►id Papers received this morning are of the sth instant. ESPARTERO et as summoned to CORN EXCHANGE. Thcre have been small fresh arrivals of Grain rince Monday.

A correspondent of the Englishman refers to the subject, which, we hope, may draw the attention of the Government. Surely it is not less important than the Cooley affair, in which all Cal- cutta was in arms. "Accounts from Rangoon state that a boat had arrived from the capital in ten days, bringing accounts that the following persons were executed. The old Queen (wife of the deposed King) her brother and his daughter, and three other women ; besides these seven teen officers of the old King, had been executed, and a great many others of rank were in confinement, awaiting a similar fate. All those persons were suspected of, or proved to be implicated in, the designs of the malcon tents. According to the Burmese custom, the old Queen was trampled to death by an elephant. The whole number of executions that have occurred in con- sequence of the insurrection is stated to be about 90." THE FUNDS. The only arrival this morning is the French mail.

VEY TIJCKETT, FOR SHOOTING AT THE EARL OF CARDIGAN.-(THIS DAY. The following Order in Council appeared in he Gazctle of last evening : At the Court at Claremont, the 3d day of Oc tober, 1840, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Ma jesty in Council. Whereas by an Act of Parliament, passed in the fourth year of her Majesty's reign, intituled " An Act for better defining the powers of justices within the Metropolita❑ Police District," it was, amongst other things, enacted that it should he lawful to her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy Council, from time to time, to constitute within the Metropolitan Police District, so many police-court divisions as to her Majesty should seem fit, and to define the extent 'thereof ; and, from time to time, to alter the number and extent of such police -court divisions, and to assign a division to each of the police-courts already established, and to establish a police•court for each of the other divisions ; and that it should be lawful for her Majesty, if she should think fit, with the advice of her Privy Council, to order that a police magistrate or magistrates should attend regularly at any police-court or courts thereafter to be established, either daily or on such days and times as her Majesty, by the advice aforesaid, should order. Her Majesty is pleased, with the advice of her Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered accordingly, that the parishes of Greenwich ; Saint Nicholas, Dept ford ; that part of St. Paul's, Deptford, which is within the county of Kent ; Lewisham and Lea, in the county of Kent ; Rotherhithe ; that part of St. Paul's, Dept ford, which is within the cour.ty of Surrey ; and the Ham let of Hatcham, in the county of Surrey ; shall hence forth be constituted a police court division ; and that a police court shall be established for such division, to be holden at Greenwich, in the county of Kent ; and that the parishes of Plumstead, Woolwich, Charlton, Eltham, the Liberty of Kidbrooke, and the Hamlet of Motting , ham, in the county of Kent, shall, from henceforth, be constituted a police-court division ; and that a police court for such division shall be holden at Woolwich, in the County of Kent. And her Majesty is further pleased, with the advice aforesaid, to order, and it is hereby ordered accordingly, that the Magistrates to be appointed for these divisions shall attend at the said Courts on alternate days, at Greenwich and Woolwich, excepting Sundays, Christ mas•day, Good Friday, or any other appointed for a public fast or thanksgiving ; and likewise except on Mondays and Saturdays. on which last-mentioned days a Magistrate shall attend at each of the said Courts ; and that on all days of attendance the Magistrates shall sit from ten of the clock in the morning, until three of the clock in the afternoon, and longer, if necessary, for the dispatch of business. And the Most Noble the Marquis of Normanby, one of her Majesty's Principal Secretor:es of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly. The Magistrates of the 'Wandsworth Court held a special session this morning, for the purpose of enter iog into the above examination. The Mag-iNirat.:s pre sent were Messrs. Nottidge, Bainbridge, Wilson, and Capt.. Page. Soon alter eleven o'clock Capt. Tuekett, accompanied by Sir James Anderson, and two other gentlemen, en tered the justice-room, and Inspector Busain took him, farmally, into custody, upon the charge of shooting at James Thomas Earl of Cardigan, with intent to mur der him, and a charge to this effect was entered upon , the police-sheet. Tne former evidence was then read over, but as the circumstances have been given very full, it will be unne cessary to repeat it. Captain Page, on being informed that there was no further evidence, said that from what had been ttated by Lord Cardigan in reference to his pistols not being rifled rind hair triggers, he had thought fit to summon Mr. Parker, the gun-smith of the police force, to give e%iilence respecting them. The other Magistrates thought the evidence unne- cessary as the case stood before them ; they had nothing to do with the character of the pistols. Captain Page thought it was very important. In these matters it was important to see that the weapons were equal. A direct assertion had been made by Lord Cardigan, and he thought evidence should be gone into in referanee to that assertion. The other Magistrates disagreed with Captain Page, and said that whether one pistol was a foot longer or shorter than the other did not at all signify. To support the charge of felony it was only necessary that a pistol of any kind should be discharged. Captain Page—l have expressed my opinion, and if the Magistrates do not agree with me I shall have nothing more to do with the ease. Captain Tuckett here interfered, and said that he hoped the Bench would permit him to say that he felt conscious Lord Cardigan was quite incapable of using an unfair weapon, or taking an unfair advantage. Captain Page—That may be your opinion, Captain Tuckett ; but we must look to the facts. The other Magistrates having decided not to go into this evidence, Captain Page got up from his seat and retired. Mr. Nottidge then asked Captain Tuckett whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, at the sit.ne time cautioning him that what he said would be taken down in writing and used against him. Capt. Tuckett said he should say nothing ut present. He was then fully committed for trial on the charge of felony. The Chairman said that of course Captain Tuckett would be admitted to bail, and they should require him to enter into his own recognizance in 1,0001, and two sureties in 500/. each. C. C. GREVILLE. At the Court at St. James's, the 3d day of January, 1840—present, the Queen's most excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas by an Act, passed in the tenth year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Fourth, it was, amongst other things, enacted, that it should be lawful for his Majesty at any time, by the advice of his Privy Council, to order that any parishes, townships, precincts, and places, whether parochial or extra parochial, in the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Hert• ford, Essex, and Kent, of which any part shall be situate within twelve miles of Charing-cross, in the city of Westminster, shall, after a certain day, to be named in such order, be added to, and form part of, the me tropolitan police district, and be placed under the charge of a police to be appointed under the said Act ; and whereas by an Act, passed in the Parliament held iu the second and third years of the reign of her present Majesty, it was enacted, that any place which is part of the Central Criminal Court districts, except the city of London and liberties thereof, and such places as are or may be in cluded in any Act already passed, or to be passed, in the said Session of Parliament, intituled " An Act for regulating the Police in the City of London ;" and also, that any part of any parish, township, precinct, or place, which is not more than fifteen miles distant front Char ing -cross, in a straight line, may be added to, and form part of, the metropolitan police district ; and whereas it is expedient that the parishes, townships, precincts, and places following, that is to say : COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX—Ashford, East Bedford, Cowley, Cranford, West Drayton, Edgware (including Whitchurch), Edmonton, Enfield, Finchley, Fryern Barnet, Feltham, Greenford, Harrow, Hendon, Had lay Monken, Hornsey, Hayes, Hanwell, Heaton, Han worth, Hampton (Town and Court), Hamptonwiek Liberty, Harefield, Hillingdon, Harlington, Harmonds worth, Ickinham, lsleworth, Kingsbury, Laleham, Littleton, Northalt, Norwood Precinct, Periyale, Pinner, Ruislep, South Minims, Stanmore (Great and Little), Stanwell, Staines, Sunbury, Shepperton, Tot tenham, Twyford Abbey, Twickenham, Teddington, Uxbridge (Township and Chapelry), Wilsden.

COUNTY OF KENT.—Boiley, Beckenham, Bromley, The sureties were immediately put in, and the parties retired. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 12. NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting. of this body took place to-day at the Corn Exchange. Mr. O'Connell, on er.- tering the room, was received with enthusiastic cheers. " You see, said the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. " that the Lord• L;eutenant has not yet been able to frighten me."—(Cheers.) Mr. F. Morgan having been called to the chair, Mr. O'CONNELL handed in 601. 45., the subscrip- tions of 1,204 of the tradesmen of Limerick. Limerick had given a proof of the most triumphant progress of repeal. He had been met on his, approach to that city by at least 60,000 people, who testified their z,ml in the most enthusiastic manner in the cause of Ireland and repeal. Som persons better acquainted with the fact than he was assured him that the number exceeded 100,300. But, taking it at 60,000, it presented one of the finest specimens of ardent patriotism, and perfect determination and propriety of manner. He had been met on seven or eight occas►ons before by the Limerick trades, when he was sorry to say they were not quite tree from the effects of intoxicating drinks. But on this occasion they were every one teetotallers.—(Cheers.) Father Matthew had no less than 2,500,000 disciples, and he (Mr. O'Connell) was amongst the number him self.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then moved the admission of the Rev. Mr. Kelly, a Roman Catholic clergyman, and of a Miss Dillon, the daughter of a woollendraper in this city, noted for sel lin.* goods of Irish manufacture. On the motion of 'Mr. O'Connell, this young lady was admitted by acclamation. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then proceeded at great length to address the meeting. He began by censuring Lord Ebrington for withdraw lug the patronage of the Irish Government from Mr. Dillon and his son, simply because they had become members of the Repeal Association. This conduct on the part of the Government towards, Mr. Dillon, was one of the vilest things he had ever heard of. Mr. O'Connell then adverted to the anti-repeal speech of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in terms strongly con demuatory of Lord Ebrington. Ho was not, neverthe less, for quarrelling with the present Administration. He wished them to keep between him and the Tories as lon as he possibly could ; at the same time he could not help speaking his sentiments as a free man, and wit), thezel of an Irishman; respecting everything that ifs fkotoa:che,hOnciUr and 'tlitnity of :the , country. The Iron. ancl''l:6'eteetl' Gentletriati l 'n'exe'`;•ereired to the ,Vll4fr ,J).sociation,'Ond I th''sPeenches delivered • at- the 'hate " :diodes.' 'to ritawdon,' in Armagh. The speakers at' that dinner,' including LOrd Charlemont, were most enthusiastic in their ealogiems' upon the Irish ' volunteers, yet the' Repeal Association had precise) , the same objects as the volunteers had been struggling for under more auspicious circum stances. But the Ulster Association, notwithstand- I ing all that the public were led to expect, had been doing literally nothing. Mr. Sharman Crawford had proposed rules and regulations, committees both great and small, and he had announced that they were to attend to the registries. But in the way of practical good they had done nothing whatever ; and he believed he might assert that, although the approaching sessions would be the last for re-registering the electors of 1832, they had not served a single registry notice for those sessions. This reminded him of the story of an ingenious fellow, who boasted that, after three weeks' labour, he had succeeded in making a machine with which he had been enabled to catch a flea.—(Loud laughter.) Now, the Ulster Association had, after all their propositions, merely caught their flea.—(Continued laughter.) Mr. O'Connell dwelt at much length on th.s subject, observing that he blamed the Ulster Asso ciation for devoting themselves to forms, instead of practically promoting the registry of Liberal electors. He proposed three resolutions, to the effect that the portrait of the Earl of Charlemont in his uniform of a General of the Irish Volunteers, should be procured for the Association ; that " The Volunteers March" be adopted as the charter tune of the Association ; and that an address of confidence, &c., be voted to the pre spnt Earl of Charlemont, expressive at the same time of the gratitude and veneration in which his father the late Earl is held by " the universal Irish nation."

And the Most Noble the Marquis of Normanby, one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give such directions herein as his Lordship may judge proper. C. C. GREVILLE. CORN-LAWS.—A Correspondent, who writes from Yarmouth, says—" The argument taken up by your paper against the landlords, as causing the high price of bread, I think unjust towards landlords. For the very objection you make against them at the same time admits the money is spent in the country, thereby giv ing life and activity to the different tradesmen amongst whom it is spent. If landlords had only the income you think they would be justly entitled to, depend upon it the home markets would be in a still more languish ing state, and throughout the country there would be great complaints of dullness. Besides, when bread corn is very cheap the labourers' wages fall in propor tion, and they have not so much money to expend in groceries, and other articles of life, equally necessary, and do not fall with the price of corn." Our Corres pondent, like a number of other people, confounds money with produce. If landlords had only their just income—that is, an income not enhanced by taxation, and the same quantity of corn was produced as now, there would be as much money cir culated as now, and as much life as now. Though the landlords would spend less, some other classes would spend more. The more food and clothing there is annually produced, the better will all classes be off, though there should not be a landowner in the country. The Corn-laws limit production, stop the increase of manu!actures, and contract the supply of food in order to enrich the landlords. Whether they effect that or not, they impoverish the nation, and impoverish the other classes. Our Correspondent is completely mistaken when he supposes that, to take away the property of the masses by a tax on bread, to put that into the pockets of the landowners, adds to the national wealth. MAIISLAUGHTER.—Ott Monday last, and, by THE LATE 8001. ROBBERY.—It will be re membered that at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, two men named Bugler and Bathgate were tried for the offence of having been concerned in stealing a 3001. Bank of England note, the property of Mr. Martin, Upper Seymour -street, Portman-square, and that after a long trial they were convicted and transported for ten years. Inspector Penny, of the G division, who got up the case, brought up on Monday a third person named George Mason, who turns out to be the identical man by whom the 3001. note was changed, and who endorsed it "J, Batten, New. bury." lie was remanded till Friday. THE FELLAIIS OF EGYPT.--Generally speak ing, amongst the Arabs there is the greatest inattention to the business on which they are engaged. A man who strikes a blow with a hammer seldom looks to where the instrument falls. A carpenter, with a chisel or a plane, takes no truble to watch what his tool is doing. There is little regard to lines or angles. If a nail is driven, no trouble is taken to ascertain whether it is too large or too small for the purposes proposed. Nothing is made to fit. There is no adaptation of means to ends ; everything is out of place ; and it perpetually happens that articles are bought or manufactured of which there is a large supply in she magazines, if any body knew where to look to them. But this state of things is not peculiar to Egypt it pervades the East. , TIIE NAVY. — Yesterday morning placards were posted up in varioas parts of Tower-hill for petty officers and able-bodied seamen, to join her Majesty's ship Cam perdown (lately attempted to be fired), now fitting out at Sheerness for the Mediterranean.

COVENT-GARDEN THES'rit.E. Beaumont's and Fletcher' s corne d o f t h e Sp an - Curatc was revived last night,(tVith alterations, at this Theatre. It is a rcmarkibly lively play contains two or three well-defili\dd character s; abounds in stirring incidents, tho'figh somewhat loosely strung together ; and is enlivened with.much sprightly repartee, expressed in the tersest and the neatest manner. The plot of the comedy—as is often the case with the plots of these fertile drama tists—is sadly complicated ; but, as well as we could make it out, is something to the following effect : Leandro, a young Spanish nobleman (Mr. C. Ma thews), is in love with Amaranta (Madame Vestris) the ward of a sly, unscrupulous old lawyer, Barto lus (Mr. Bartley), and not knowing how to obtain an interview with her, so closely is she watched by her jealous guardian, lie has recourse to Lopez, the Spanish Curate (Mr. Farrell), who being a neigh bour and acquaintance of the lawyer, is in duced by certain weighty pecuniary constdcra• tions, to introduce Leandro to Bartolus, as a shy, quiet young man, who is anxious to study the law. Deceived by his apparent sim plicity of manner, the lawyer takes him as a pupil ; when of course the young man makes the most of his time ; seeks an interview with Amaranta—a second—a third—and which last succeeds in making such a favourable impression on her, that she agrees to elope with, and marry him ; which she accord ingly does, while hersKtoegreyuleag: Keeley), guardian's s t a i ye t t e e La n or t i : c i s ; t and pur ply ens request si se o x s t e o n d v Diegot cd ( I) :\ y i r a . of some of Leandro's friends. This story, which Is invented merely to give the lovers time to effect their escape, regards Diego, who is brought into the lawyers house, as a rich man to all appearance in the last stage of decay, and requests him to draw up his last will and testament, by which he leaves Bartolus his sole executor, with a handsome legacy by way of compensation for his trouble. The lawyer highly delighted with this legacy, is busy writing down the particulars, after the usual legal fashion, when Diego, having been privately in formed by one of the parties to the hoax that the lovers have made their escape, at once avows the trick, greatly to the imEgnation of Bartolus, who finds himself deprived of his ward and his legacy, and heartily laughed at into the bargain. This is the main plot, but there is another subordi. nate one, wherein the lawyer is also an agent, which respects an action brought by one brother against another, but who are finally reconciled to each. other, on which occasion old Bartolus's roguery ;s again made manifest. The chief fault of this lively comedy is that its incidents are too desultory and unconnected. They are not sufficiently dove-tailed one into another, so as to excite a continuous in terest ; but are broken up, as it were, into detached fragments. Some of the scenes are exceedingly , effective ; and amongst the best we may instance the first dialogue between the half-starved Curate and his equally destitute sexton, when they crack melancholy jokes upon their crippled exchequer; and on the misery of being compelled to officiate in a parish where the people refuse to die s or be married, and consequently where there are scarcely any burial, or wedding fees. Another still inure effective scene, was that of the hoax upon the lawyer, and his subsequeut indignation at its discovery. This kept the audience in a roar of laughter. It was followed by one or two very languid scenes, where action was sacrificed to a desire, on tire pait of the dramatists, to make their smart and laboured points tell. Farren was admir able as the Curate : though he should have been a little more oily and unctuous in his manner s and kept under that hard, dry style of acting peculiar to him. Keeley, as the Sexton, played as well as it was possible to do, and appeared tho— roughly to relish his part. Bartley, as the lawyer, was rather too elaborate : a little more ease ci man- ner would have greatly improved his petformance, Air. Anderson, as Don Juan, a young Spanish noble man, showed feeling and good sense; and will b e a still more efficient actor, when he gets rid of his. imitation of Macready, which at present amounts almost to the servile. The scenery was splendid ; and the comedy received with much applause. COURT CIRCULAR.

MY 1,011D,.—1t is stated that your Lordship has ex pressed your opinion that Lord Cardigan has been tra duced, " as no nobleman could ever so far forget him self, and his order, as to contradict any person in a rude or gross way." Will your Lordship be pleased to revert to page 10 of Captain Wathen - s Trial, wherein you will find the following sworn to, by Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, the witness and anxious friend of Lord Brudenell _ . " On which Lord Brudcncll, in a hasty manner, said ' 1 positively deny that Captain Wathen ever made such a report to me.' In a tone of surprise 1 again repeated the question to Captain Wathen, and on his repeating that he had made such a report to his com manding officer, Lord Brudenell said Sir, it is fill—; the word was not completed, as I instantly put up my hand, and said, Lord Brudenell, stop !' and I then re quested Captain Wathen to withdraw." I beg also to refer your unbelieving Lordship to the evidence in pages 22 and 23 of the same trial, and then will your Lordship be satisfied that this pet Lord is as vulgar a fellow in language us any cad in London. Alas, that a 'Royal uniform should be permitted to be again worn, and consequently sullied and disgraced by a * * capable of such gross language ! What result could be expected but repetition of the insult for which lie knew (his station as a commanding officer for bidding it) he could not be made personally accountable. Late events have proved it so.
