Lord Fitz villam is one of the Whig genus so wither -1 ingly sketched by Burke in his description of Francis Duke of Bedford, then the he a d o f th e R ussel l var i ety .es . 1 of the doss, who, 'sail the great philosopher, " was i s.ratlred, reeked, and dandled into a Legislator." If 3 no doubt a misfortune for the. country that i re's:tatty legisl a t ors s h ou ld so he formed, but fortu , 74 - at+ the breed has geuerally been found harmless ietherto, and may therefore he tolerated as fantastic i fre a k.. of natere and the speeies. If there tv; re no Isuch places NS Sr. LII k'...4 maekind rtiglit pass for all b ing ~ yrtly sime : and even Lord Fitzwii:iam mightbe th;stakeu for a legi,lator if co persons such as the Greet Duke, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Aberdeen, Zee. tic., chimeed to sit im the same nlace or to be in existence at the same t-ime. By diet el long cramming his Lordship has been absolutely done into a smattering of the thing ca:led political economy ; he is moreover sentimental as 4 dairy maid ore r " Parecia," and reads', like Niohe ell spars, with his white racket handkerchief as a mute at a funeral, as the Northampton shire folks could tell. The standing tberne of his late moving exhihitioni is the Cern-laws— " T!ie Corr-laws," hi. exclaims, " limit the food of the 61 , nrcr. Thev make fo,d Ge and they make it akar, Look at Inc oreration cf these laws at the oresebt moment. Tbc fou , poand loaf which four }Pars ago s;:id at four prLco, sells now at niacpenee half pray. Such is the b!iehting inthmoce of the Coro- laws." If die Corn-laws "limit the fond of the labourer," why th4n they are aid:ag mon. f ffic•iently the operation el the New Poor-laws, of which he is the charripon. The objects of the lets Poor-laws, according to the Omission of their Multhusian advocates, arc to drive. the labourers to a coarser kind of f'od ; to keep down popintion to th e means o f subsistence ; to dis- courage natrriage by the separation of husband end parent and child ; to reduce wa2es to the 7, - 5)11zos el the Po isle serf and the Bonne operatives.

MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY CASE or FORGERY.—A lad of very respectable appearance, aged 18 years, named Charles Clay, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, for having committed eighty-nine forgeries upon the Bank of Englund. The prosecution necessarily excited a great deal of interest. Mr. Freshfield, the Solicitor to the Bank of England, attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Humphreys ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. FRESHFIELD stated that the case WAS ore of very uncommon occurrence. The prisoner wits clerk to a gentleman who held the office of official assience, and bad by virtue of his employment access to warrants or orders upon the Governors and Company of the Bank of Engine(' for the payment of sums of money to the creditors under the bankruptcy of John Hodgson, jun , which warrants or orders were usually kept filled up with the amount claimable by the several creditors, an d signed by Mr. Basil Montague, the Accountant-G ene . rad in Bankruptcy. It was necessary to have the names of the official assignee and the payee to the document before it was payable, and the prisoner had forged the n-ames of the assignee and the payee to eighty-nine checks, from the Ist of January (with one exception) to the present period. A warrant had been issued on the let of May for the apprehension of the prisoner and he was taken into custody a few hours afterwards while attempting to utter fourteen forged checks at the Bank, when he acknowledged that he was guilty of the offences. . Mr. George Gibson, of No. 72, B isinghell-etreet stated that he was one of the official assigueee. The prisoner had been in his employment upwards of feu: years. and had had access to the eheee-futok of un claimed dividends in bankrupts' estetes. I , Vitness here stated the process as described by Mr. Freshfield, with respect to signing th,3 checks, and Eated that the cheek-book bed been mi.ssinz. The LORD Meeon asked whether the whole amount papable from Hodgson's estate had been drawn by means of these forged cheeks? Mr. Frankfield replied, ?hat the fourteen checks which had been presented on the lst of May, would, if they had been paid, have cleared off the whole demand. Toe property was unclaimed dividends. Mr. Richard Basset, clerk in the public drawing office of the Bank of England, stated that the prisoner came to the counter of the office on the Ist of May, and presented 14 drafts for money due from the estate of Juhn Hodgson, jun. The prisoner was recognized a s the person who had presented several checks of the kind before, end witness informed Mr. Bryant, who sent for Daniel Forrester. Mr. Edward Bryant stated that when he was in formed of the circumstances he kept the prisoner in talc until Forrester arrived. He then asked the prisoner whether his name was Robson, (the name mentioned in the check), to which he replied in the affirmative, and that Lie lived at No. 33, Coleman-street. NVitness then said to him, " You know thst is not true ; there is no such person in the street. Your name, I 6111, is Clay. You have been playing a fine game, but I think it is nearly over now?' The prisoner said he feared it was. Witness then asked bier, whether he bad any acetic'', ptice, to which he rep!ied in the negative. Deeiel Forrester stated that he took the prisoner int, custody at a little before five o'clock on Friday. The prisoner, on being asked where the book was from which he had taken the checks, replied that he had felt it in his room, No. 81, at the Bull and Mouth Inn. Witnusi found the book in a carpet-baee which the pri soiter's key opened. In answer to questions from the Lord Mayor, Mr. Gibson said the henkrup!cy of Mr. Hodgson was sued cut in the year 1810. Tne creditors had been 411 writ ten to when the dividend was deciered ; in all proba bility there were about a hundred creditors, tint very few (laitned. There was a file of unclaim e l di s id en d s k ept .. Chancery-lane. Mr. Freshfield stated that in all probability the publi city given by Lie Lordship to the subject would bring forward any claimants who night be still in existence. The money would, of course, whoever might be respon• sible. be repleced. The LORD MAYott—l dare say h great deal of money has been recovered from bankrupts' estates by means of the offieial assignees? Mr. Gibson—Yes, my Lord, ebnnt two millions of 01 estates. Mr. Humphr ys made no comment. Toe prisoner was then committed to Niovgate for trial. THE COUNTRYMAN AND THE 8U1.1.-TERRIER. A man named Lamb. who keeps a public-house ealted the Cock, on Ceekbill, ashopsgete-street, charged a country led named Samuel Glover, under the following circum stances : G:over, who appeared to be an unsophisticated tour-, tryman, scat .d that about six months ago, he had.. fine pldee, w.,h ever) body bull-terrier which he kept in Wedgeoury,. wl :sere his ta- ther owne.t the first inn in the knowed roight well. Welt. this bul!.-terrier was.keeped in a out-lmwe, fastened up, 1 -"':. one morning him and hii fastenings were clean nvi',,,,a out o f ,h. p i e ,„ . H e meant that the dog was. regularly robb•al away nut of tha, part of the cou:-..try. W... 11, ll'An and Jim Cox went 1 about all ovir,•‘be places they thnwt the dog might be taken t o . At last they saw a Luanon paper that told int he w...., going to fight up in town for hi. a-side, and up I 'Ld mined to see whettp-r it warn% the sitar.: oull-ter `ler •as he belonged to.—(A laugh.) iThe Lott!) MAYOR—What ? Did you come all th e way from Wcdgebury after a dog ? Ees, gentlemen, I corned every inch of thJ way, and I've travelled many a hundred mile alit r the dog, for I've been after him ever since I 10-t him without stop ping, cau-e I thotv't I'd find him somehow.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOII said that such a master deserved a good dog. Glover thowt he did deserve the dog, and he knowed the dog deserved him. Well, when he corned up, he went to the Cock, and who should he wee when he walked into the parlour but his bull-terrier, along with about a dozen other people. Hullo, said he, is that you ? and he ran and seized hold of the dog. The Lone MAYOR— Ile knew you? Glover—Knowrd me ! God bless thee, he couldn't know tne better if I'd been of the same breed—(A. laugh). The LORD MAYOR asked him if the landlord was mixed up in the business ? Glover thowt that as the landlord took the dog from him, and all the other gentlemen in the room assisted, he had a right to look to Mr. Lamb, particularly as it was a determined thing that the dog was to fight. Lamb—No such thing : I know nothing of a fight, and I know nothing of the dog neither The hanimal cut away in the scrummage, and the Lord knows where Glover—flow can you look me in the fare an'l talk that ? Didn't you offer me half the winnings to let the dog fight ? Why, gentlemen, I wouldn't give the dog for twenty piwnd. The LORD MAYOR (to the police)—What sort of a house is this Cock, on Cock-hill ? One of the officers said it was a rporting-house, and he had no doubt the dog was kept tied up for the fight. The LORD MAYOR—Let the police have their eye upon it, and mark the sporting there, and give notice to the deputy and common councilmen of the ward. I regret to hear that there is a sporting-house in the city. Come, Mr. Lamb, you must give up the dog. Lamb—l do assure your Lo: dsliip that I don't know where on earth the haninial took himself to ; besides, how should I know that he belonged to tt.is here man ? Glover—lVhv, gentlem• - n, if the dog warn my dog., how could I take the liberty to run and catch howld of a bull-terrier? I knowed the dog was mine, and the dog knowed it too, for be leaped up upon me and licked me all over. The LORD AlaYoft—Did he seem to know the lath!. lord as well ? Glo‘er—lVny, gentlemen, you see he's been away from n.e six months, iinci he know'd the land lord, in course. I've known a dog to be so fond of two misters, that when they was fighting for him, the only thing he done all the while was ho ding as though his beta would bri•ah.—(A laugh.) Tha Loan MAYOR—II) you swear that the dog is yours? Glover—S•vear 7 . why, gentlemen, you see I am respectable. My father hmeps the head inn at Wedgebury, which every body knows roight well, and I know that it was m:•ant to strnl my dog and to fight him The Lon]) MAYon—I think I shall prevent that, and I therefore assure the lordlord that trite does not re store your dog to you without fighting him, I shall do all I can to prevent hi m f rom obtaining a licence next year. Daniel Forester said that probably there were 50/. or 100/. upon the battle, and thast until it should come off the hull-terrier would not be returned. The landloni denied that his house was a sporting crib, l and sqid that h e did not know where on earth the dog W as , b ut he solemnly assured the Lord 111.4) or that ie . shoull at once advertise the hanitual. G UILDHALL. On Saturday, GUILDHALL. Albert de Vries was hrou,ht up for re-examination, char.ged with obtaining goods under false pretences. Mr. Wontner attended on his behalf, Mr. Alderman HIJMPHERY committed the prisoner at the last hearing. on cli:Ar ge o f ohfainir,g drvss:n.-- eas p s and other ariieles, to the amount of nearly 70/. from Ali,s ittatardson, a cutler, Stc., in New Bond street, but rrmanded him to are if any other cbaraes would he mad, against him. A tradesman. whose address did net traespire, said the prisoner had ordered tw , ) dressil g 35/., but when he took them home to the lodging occupied by the prisoner, at No. 2, St. Jaine.'s.square ; h e was informed that the prisoner had been taken into Custody that morning as a swindler, and therefore he did net ; leave his _ - goods. __ Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY said, as the 4-nods had not been obtained, it was needless to pursue that else. Mr. Perrv, of Hutigerfiod-sr reef, tailor. stated that the prlsoner called on him on the Bth of Ap‘il, an d desired that he would wait upon him next dayat St..

It was carried home the next d4y about one; and ti-Trisoner ordered s ome other things, to the amount together of 191. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY asked what the prisoner said about payment':—Mr. Perry replied, nothing was said about it. Being a stranger, ready money was ex pected, as credit was not asked for. He described him self as a Dutch merchant, who went into the city at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. and from the respect ability of the house, the clothes were left without vi ing fur instant payment. He had not, however, sue cxeded in getting the cash since. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY asked if he had learnt what had beet,me of his clothes Mr. Perry said Inspector Lloyd had found nearly the whole at the prisoner's lodging in Waterloo-road. Tec prisoner observed that when he gave the order he told Mr Prrry he could not pay him till the latter end of the month. Mr. Alderman HUMPIIERY remarked that the end of th e month w as pa:,s.,d. Was he pr , :par-d to pay now ? The pri, , oner said the la of exchange from the }souse of De Vries, of Amsterdam, in which he was a partner, might be lying at the Post Office. When the bill came he would pay very one. Mr. Alderman Humi'maY was afraid the bill would have to ht! sent after imn to Van Dlemen's Land. Mr. Perry denied that any agreement was made to give credit, though his brother left the clothes without asking for payment. Inspector Lloyd produced the :srtieles. Mr. ‘Vontner submitted Ora credit bad been dis tinctly given in this cite. Mr. - Aide:man HUNIPHERY thought so too, a n d asked if there any were other complainants. A gentleman, who did not give his address, said his was a dcht only. The pri,oner took n lodging in his house in October, and even` away without pavi:.g a six- pence, and leaving two large paving stones to cover his &hrs. He had obtained goods from several tradesm-n in the neighbourhood. Tile prit , ooer hud no recollection of the accuser or of the circum,tance. The geoCeman, reminded him of having threatened to pitch him over Londov-bridge, and aske•(l if he recol lected anything ot M r. Siiarpe. the tailor, in the borough. PriEoner siid he did not, but if he owed him •: . „ 3 ._ thing he might send in hi 3 bill. Another person alleged that the prisoner 15210.

Dr. Charming, in his " Lectures on the education of the Lower Classes," makes the following remarks on the state of political feeling " I have said," observes the Doctor, u that the people are not to be elevated by escaping labour, or by pressing into a different rank. Once more l . Ido not mean by the elevation of the people, that tho should het:Jibe self-important politicians ; that, as individuals or a class, they should seize on political power ; that, by uniting their votes, they should triumph over the more prospe rous ; or that they should succeed in bending the ad ministration of government to their paftittilaft An individual la not elevated by figuring in public affairs, or even by getting into office.

PERSECUTION OF A SEXTON. _....._ In another part of our piper will be found a brief sktfteh of the protetelings at a vestry meeting of the pa rish of Cltines on Friday last, the main feature in which was art attempt made by the Rev.

MEETING AT CLAINES VESTRY.—A vestry meet;ng was held in this church on Friday, the 21th instant. , or the purpose of examining the Churenwarden s ' county. electing Churchwi.rdens for the current year, and for other business. The Rev. G. H. Wilding, the officiating minister, took the chair. After the prelimi nary business had been disposed of; the Rev. Georg,- Cole introduced his accusations against the unfortunate sexton in a long-winded oration. He harangued at great length on the enormities of Catholicity, which in her Coronation oath the Queen was bound to denounce as idolatrous and damnable, and dilated or rather prosed upon the abhorrent sin of an individual enjoying the blessings of thc pure Protestant reformed religion, hankering to marry a Roman Catholic. This abhorrent :in and dire aborni. nation it appeared Henry Ward had it in contemplation to commit. In the cour s e of his address, the Rev. Ex pounder of Divinity stated that the Catholics in thi.• country were a small, but a very compact and united body, and he was sorry to say they knew their religion better, and had practised it more than did the Protes tants. The sexton was then heard in his derence ; he finely commented upon the noble exemplification of the golden rule, " Do unto others as you would they should do unto you," afforded by the parson's conduct, and touched him up so severely on one or two other points rotative to money twitters, that we will venture to say he will not enter the lists with the knight of the spade aed mattock again. S,me time elapsed before the reverend gentleman could procure a seconder for his motion, which went to the expulsion of the cffendine officer ; at length it found one in the person of Captain Timings. The Rev. W. H-Iden, in a speech wherein he manifested sundry symptoms of being thoroughly in- . tected with that horrid disorder which Mr. Hew son (lean_ initiates Ultra Charity, vindicated the sexton, amid re 4uked his persecui or, and concluded by moving a counter resolution, to the eff.'ct that Henry Ward be retained in his office of sexton, which was carried by a majority of 22 to to 4. It was at fiat agitated whether the amendment should not he so modelled as to include a vote of eel,- sure on the Rev. Persecutor, but out of compassion and from a feeling which, front the titter lack of it he has manifested, he can but very imperfectly appreciate, it w as eventually decided to omit it, however well deserved might have been such a rebuke. The following letter, written by the Rev. George Cole to Ward, and read at the meeting amidst a good deal of suppressed laughter. will explain more fully the weighty reasons urged by the Rev. Gentleman for his immediate dismissal : " Britannia-square, Feb. 17, 1840. " HENRY WARD,—AS you md riot seem to under steed me ch•arly when we last conversed on the subitet of your intended rriarri,go. and I wish you to be under no mistake.

A private individual has only his own point to consider, e n . one aho holds any public office in connexion with a Protestant Church must also consider the effect which his example will have ; and tio example's sake it is the duty of the minister of that Church to dismiss him from his office, if he have the power,. and if not, to use his in fluence to that effect wish those who have.

Independently of the /act of your intending to.. matey a Roman Catholic, you have shown so much. duplicity in your manner of doing it, that I feel coin- pi./led to act upon the resolution of the Psalmist.

I 11011TICULTURAI, NOTICE FOR MAY. The extraordinary weather of the mont has rendered that month a splendid h exceptio h n o f t o the rule .vhich has led Us to expect alternations of sunny gleams and genial showers. Not one day —hot even an hour— of steady rain does our meteorological diary offer to view. The first 12 days present AU average maximum temperature of .551 degrees, that of the nights bein2 only 34 degrees ; six of them were actually frosty. In the night of the 13th, the mercury fell to 29 degrees. Subsequently we have p•lceived no frost, and the tem perature has progressively advanced to about 40 degrees, awhile the greatest average heat by day may he quoted at 69 degrees. During the last eighteen days the sun has blazed with nearly unclouded splendour, and vegetation has advanced w;th corresponding activity. So profuse had been the supply of water up to the middle of February, that the soil retained moisture at a very little depth be:ow 60 surface, but rain is now wanted in good earnest ; yet we perceive no symptom of its approach. Toe repeated frosty riffles, klowed by a most powerful sun, produced laineatahic effects in the gart:en and ,hrub hery. Toe cabbage tribe lost its v, rehire, and numbers of talents were scorched and perished. Broccolies were not in general killed, but the it heads have formed with great ra pidity, and that delicious vegetable will soon pass away. flte tenter evergre ens, which remained so beautiful till the third week of February, have Inst their fine green hoots. Laurels are yellow and deformed. The tilos. cams of the laurustinus have been in too many instaimes, lecomposed, and its tender shoots are killed. E. en -he hardy furze of the common, which was only re c.verin...; from the devastation of 1838, has been severely checked, and has again lost all i s verdure. It has been almost impossible to remove heriatceous paints ; and as numbers of the finest flowers of the gar,:en— the pinks in particultr—are killed, we tear, it rain do (lot come speedily. the parterres and borders will be tmt indifferently furntsited during the summer, Or fruits, the ptosp-ct appears to hi very promising ; the berry benring shrubs are full of bloom—the apple ~ las s om is fine, and very healthy ; and the wall-trees seem to have set their fruit in abundance ; there is .also au exeetient promise of grars, but. %ye revulii Cr. the frost of May, and suspend our congratuiationi.
