AS it is conceived that the following facts have been much misrepresented, and that a correct statement would prove acceptable to all those who prefer truth to false hood, and who wish that some check should be given to this too prevalent vice, which is of much greater enormity than many persons seem to be aware of, the means is now afforded of forming an accurate opinion, which is always much to be desired :—A few years since, Mr. Edward Farrell, being in ill health, and lodging at an hotel, where he remained at the par ticular request of the proprietor and his wife, a person came there, and took him into custody, and treated him with the greatest barbarity, without any provocation: he baund his arms and legs with cords, threw him on the floor, and leaped upon him with his utmost force; and, being an athletic person, broke some of his ribs, and inflicted other grievous bodily injuries upan him, and would not permit him to obtain any professional aid. In this state he had to make a journey of up wards of 440 miles. The hotel-keeper presented his bill at night, and insisted upon the immediate payment, and declared, if his demand was not instantly complied with, he should he given in charge to six men in the morning, who would be entertained at his expense in the hotel, and who would have power to treat him as they pleased. He positively asserted that he had no knowledge whatever of the person who had been sent into the hotel, and from himself no information could be obtained, but that he was authorized to act as he pleased, but would not state from whom he received this authority. The hotel-keeper's bill for three weeks amounted to nearly 50/. As soon as the invalid's health was restored he returned to this country, and used every means in his power to cause this matter to be investigated, but could not succeed. A very dis graceful robbery was committed upon him at another hotel, of which he gave notice at one of the public offices, but could not obtain redress. A most atrocious outrage was committed in his name on some of his tenants, which has caused the most calamitous results. His life was frequently threatened by the entinels on duty in the most public streets of the city of sDublin, who alleged that they received orders to that effect. It has frequently been at the imminent risk of his life that he applied for medical advice ! and if such as he had received were given to many others, it would most probably have cost the practitioner his life. A most diabolical outrage was committed some time since, at a place of worship in this city, which diould have subjected the saeriligious wretch to the punishment of death. The many proofs of inveterate animosity which he has experienced would exceed credibility. He has been, from principle, always opposed to faction, being fully convinced that until a spirit of independence is extensively established, the human race will not possess that happiness which they were created to enjoy.

The following are extracts from that journal, and nothing can be more revolt ing to an honest mind than the evidence they afford of the utter want of morality and the absence of truth and candour in the Editors. It will be seen that, in 1834, the immaculate Times lent its assistance to Chartism, while in 1837, only three years afterwards, the honest Editors were absolutely rabid in their delight of Toryism ; but that may be accounted for by the fact, that the same men who write the leading articles for it now, about the year 1835 suffered their consciences to be sold by private contract, with the types and machines, to the Carlton Club !

Solomons, Optician, Patentee of t.;e amber Spectacles. Inventor of the Improved Voice Conductors for the relief of deafness, No. 36, Old Bond -street, and No. 1, Old Jewry. City, considers it necessary to call particular atten • tion to his Address, in consequence of the mistakes arising from a similarity of names, and th e means thus afforded to adva n t age thereby ; those who may wish to derive as a proof of which, he submits for public pe rusa l the following advertise ment, which appeared in the Morning Post on the sth of No vember, 1839, from the Messrs. S. and B. Solomees, of Albe marle-street, Piccadilly :—" From Dr. F. 11. Ramsbotham, M.D. The newly-invented spectacle lenses of the Messrs. Solomons appear to lift the veil of indistinctness thrown over the beauties of nature and the page of love, by dim or defective eyesight, is an acquisition of no commo n interest to the thou s-ends who require them ! I have been using them for some time, and say, from experienee, that they afford most astonish ing relief to persons thus cir cumstanced. —.F. H. Ramsbotham, M.D., New 13road-street." It will be seen that the above tissue of nonsense never emanated from Dr. Ramsbotham, from a perusal of the following advertisement, which appeared in the Morning Post ar.d Courier, November 9, 1839:—" The Messrs. Solnmons take the earliest opportunity to state that the name of Dr. F. H. Ramsbotham has been used in an advertisement by mistake, and without authority." As from the scrupulous omission of initials or address to the latter re luctant advertisement, it might naturally be attributed to the above established houses, bearing the name of Mr. E. Solomous, he therefore disclaims all knowledge of it, and is no way con nected with the parties who inserted it. AFFECTING AND FATAL CALAMITT.-011 Friday a Coroner's inquest was hold at Ulverston, on the bodies of Anna Parker, aged 20 years, wife of T. J. Parker, Esq , son of Col. Parker, of Lancaster, and Eliza Kirkby, aged 23 years, daughter of Mr. B. Kirkby, shoemaker, of Ulverston, who were drowned on Ulverston Sends on the sth instant.. Benjamin Kirkby sworn—ls father of the deceased Eliza Kirkby. Knew Mrs. Parker ; she has lived at his house about sixteen months. On the sth he (witness) and the deceased females and his son Henry (whose body is not yet found) went on a short excursion to the Chapel Island. Being there about half an hour before the tide was expected, they all went as far Ellwood Scar, about half a mile below Chapel Island. While there, witness observed the tide had made considet able pro gress, and requested the parties to make haste and return. On their return to the Chapel Island, he saw the tide was breaking over the bank towards them. He then told the parties to run for their lives, and follow him. He first reached the water, and when passing through, he heard his son cry. "Father, Father!" He looked round and said " I cannot help thee." When he had got through the strongest of the current, he turned round to encourage those behind, but his children hart disappeared. Mrs. Parker he observed clinging to a net stake, waving her handkerchief, and crying for help; but he soon lost sight of her; her bonnet he saw floating on the water.—James Postlethwaite, of Ulverston, pilot, deposed that, on the day in question, between ten and eleven he saw from Ham merside Hill, Mrs. Parker at the net stake, waving her hand kerchief. When the tide had receded, - he and some others found her at the same place, still grasping else stake with her hands. The stake is about 300 yards from Chapel Island. Verdict—" Acecidntal Death.,' SINGULAR CASE.—On Friday morning an in- Iluest, adjourned from Saturday last, was held before Mr. Wak ley, M.P., at the Devonshire Arms, Devonshire-street, Port • sand-place, on the body of Miss Shepley, aged 72, a lady of independent fortune. The evidence adduced on both occa sions showed that on the afternoon of . Tuesday week, she en tered the shop of Mr. Waugh, chemist, of No. 117, Regent street, in a state of extreme tremour, and, having some what recovered her senses, informed that gentleman's assist ant that a few minutes previously, in . langham-pl ace, a large Newfoundland dog jumped upon her s ; and such was the force with which he placed his paws on the f ront of her person that she was thrown violently en her back. The assistant advised t her to take a coach end forthwit li pr... home and consult her usual medical attendant. She did so, and told her female servant that no one set th e dog at her, but that the animal sprang - upon her out of . playfulness. Sh e expired on the morning after the accident. post mortem examination was ordered , and at .he inquest A Mr. W. R andall Vickers, surgeod, of Baker-street, f th who had made it, sa id that the cause of death was the rupture of the . ilium, and t h at h e had found a tumour, weighing upwards of five pound s , i n t h e abdomen, which must have existed for years. He supp ose d that the violence of the pressure of the tumour agai nst t h e ilium, caused by the fall, produced the fatal rup' ore of th e l a tt er . The Coroner see med to wish to gct possession of th e enormous tumour,but the surgeon told him he could not comply with hi s wishes to have it, as it had been already promised as a rare present to a public museum.

FROM THE ETENINO PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Courier.) The privilege question does not appear to attract that attention from the people at large which a measure deeply penetrating their own interests requires ; but we must not therefore neglect the duty which a journalist is professedly pledged to perform. Lord John •Rus scll's Bill has passed through Committee, not without observations which deserve considerable attention, and above all to those which proceed from Sir Edward Sug ' den. In the explanation which he has chosen to give of his opposition to parts of a Bill, to the leading principle of which we entertain such strong objections, he refers to opinions that have been expressed out of the House, and observes that he did not object to the retrospective provisions of the Alinisterial measure. What he pro posed to do, he says , was i n Committee to introduce certain words into the first clause, " giving to persons not the original publishers of the publications of the House the same remedy with respect to that which had already been published, as the Bill proposed to give to what might be published in future by the House." We are carry that the authority of such a name should be lent to the enactment of " cx post facto" laws. (From the Globe.) The Church, in its collective capacity, still resembles too much the daughters of the horseleech—" Give! Give !" is the cry incessantly uttered from every part of her pale ! This desire for wealth has originated in a false estimate of its importance. Vast worldly endow ineuts, distributed with preposterous in , vality, so far from adding to the efficiency of a Church, obscure its tree (;_r ) , and impair its energies. The wealth of the has constituted the weakness of our national Establislnnent. If proof be required of this incontro vertible axiom, it is only necessary. to refer to Ireland, where the most richly endowed church in Christen dom has been proved to be proverbially and re proachfully inefficient as a machine for the conversion of the people ; while in Scotland, where the poorest religious Establishment is found, the clergy have been :tuccessful in preserving and extending the Protestant faith, and in training up the successive generations of the people in morals and religion, and thus rendering them the best educated and most virtuous of the population. (From the Standard.) Lord John Russell's Bill for the protection of the publication of Parliamentary Papers occupied the chief share of the attention of the House of Commons last night. Various amendments were suggested in the Committee, and each was discussed at some length, but without any important result. We have already Lid more than once before our readers the rea sans why (in our opinion) the details of the Bill, ought to he regarded with comparative indifference. In the first place, we think film, the Houses of Parliament Call scarcely have too much power within the law ; while we would resist every at t....tript to extend the power of any one branch of he Sovereignty a single hair's breadth beyjond the law. And secondly, all the power that the Bill confers upon he two Houses is the power of publishing what are called libels—a power which they are not very likely to exercise wantonly, and which would be at worst very contemptible in its exercise. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE MASTER OF GRANT, M.P. —Letters from Invernesshire this morning announce the very sudden death of the Master of Grant, M.P. Itbr that, county, who had arrived the night before at Cullen House to attend the funeral of his late much -1 tainted mother. We understand that Mr. Heiiry the eldest son of Colonel H. Baillie, leaves London this evening as a candidate in the Conservative interest for that county. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 13 LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.

Mr. W. ATTWOOD opposed the motion on the ground that if the House adopted the proposition, it would depart from the course usually adopted on pri vate bills. He believed the motion was not made with the consent of the Committee generally. Mr. W. ATTWOOD thought the motion was a must unprecedented one ; and if it was pressed he must divide the House upon it. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw.

Mr. HUME presented a pcti..ion, numerously signed, from Pollokhaws, in Scotland, in favour of Law Re form. The petitioners approve of not filling up the vacant Judgeship in the Court of Session, and notice particularly the ruinous expens,e of Jury Trials in Scot land, which they state to be so great as to cause the people to fly from them in terror, in place of resorting to them for protection ; and that such is the dread of Jury Trial in that country, as to induce the people to submit to every species of injustice from wealthy neigh bours rather than enter a Jury Court. They suggest, that were a small number of Sheriffs made to hold ambulatory Courts, assisted by a jury, that great benefit would arise to the people.

PRINTED PAPERS, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said be should not mace the qestion of privilege, which stood upon the paper ior that evening before the Committee on the Printed Papers Bill, as he thought the House was atieious to go into Committee on the latter Bill as soon as possible. On the Order of the Day for the House going into Committee on the Printed Papers Bill beiog read, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN thought it would faci litate the passing of the Bill through a Committee if he stated at the outset, as briefly as he could, the object of the Bill, and the nature of the amendment ho meant to propose. After the preamble, seet:nn one provided, without asserting the right of the House to inter fere against a Court of Law, that persons civilly or criminally proceeded against fur any publication by the authority of that Hesse, wete to obtain a certificate from the Speaker of either House, and, thereupon, the action was to be put an end to. The second section applid to a totally different /ureter— namely, the action brought by Mr. Howard against the messengers of that House for an alleged trespass in the execution of the Speaker's warrant. ,The two sections stood upon totally distinct grounds, and then there was a concluding proviso that nothing contained in the Act should affect the privileges of that House. It had been erroneously supposed out of the House that he (Sir E. Sugdcn) had objected to the post facto nature o eve Bill, but he had done no such thing. What he proposed to do was, in Committee to introduce certain words into the first clause, giviug to persons not the original publishers of the publications of the House the same remedy with respect to what had already been published us the Bill proposed to give to what might be published in future. He should propose, also, to extend that provision to Members, because, as the right of action was not taken away, he did not see what protection Members would have, who might after wards piablish the printed papers of the House, by handing them over to third parties. He should also propose to introduce the word " papers," as there were documents published by order of the Hewes that would not come under the denomination either of Reports, Votes, or Proceedings. Ey this Bill they could stop an action at law, while their privileges remained untouched and entire ; and they would have the power of committing for a contempt of the House parties bringing such au action, and of sending them to Newgatc if they should think proper. They h•td the power which was new given to them for the first time of stopping an action while the party was still in custody. Under these cir cumstances, he thought it would be advisable to make some provisions for the liberty of the subject, while they were obtaining a greater power than had ever been possessed by a House of Commons. He prc posed to meet this case by introducing a proviso, eneet ing, that when proceeding s should be finally put an end to by the authority of the provisions of the proposed Act, that then any persons who had been eeinmiited by either House of Parliament, in consequence of having been concerned, either in the institution or the carrying on of such proceedings, should be forth. with discharged from custody by the House which had committed him ; and he proposed this in accordance with the last section of the B;11 now be fore the House ; for whereas by that section it was nacted that nothing in that Bill should be construed to affect the privileges of that House, so he intt•cduced this cause to provide that nothing in the Bill should be construed to extend the privileges of the house. His , intention in these propositions was to further the abject they all h•rd in view, by asserting the greet authority of the House without at the same tune infringing on the liberties of the peoele.--(Hear.) He also proposed to omit the second clause, although he prc posed to retain the first, but he drew this distinction oetween the first clause and the second. He did not ! object to the first clause, which was introduced for the purpose of staying vexatious actions; but he did obtest to the second clause, because they could not know what actions were really vexatious, trnd what were not so. The law as it at present was, that if the officers of the House in the execution of the Speaker's warrant, committed any excess of authority, the person damnified might recover da mages for any injury sustained in consequence of the undue exercise of such excess of authority. The House could not take away the right of a subject on any action for an excessive exercise of the warrant of the Speaker, supposing such right to exist, and it none existed the House should prove it he'ore a jury. ! The Right Hon. Gentleman said he thought it might conduce to the convenience of the House to bear from any Member a general statement of the views he took upon the Bill previous to going into Committee. Mr. PEMI3ERTON said he thought there should be some statement made as to the objects intended to be cff,cted by the Bill. He did not object to going into Committee ; he was willing, indeed, to sacrifice somewhat of his own oeinion to the bringing this [nat ter to a satisfactory conclusion. But he thought the House should know distinctly whom, and what, the Bill was meant to protect. It had not been stated that the Bill was intended to effect more than a protection to actions brought upon alleged libellous publications by the order of the House. Bat the language of the Bill was such as to exclude any ac tion brought to question any act done by authority of the House. And, as the Act now stood, it would ap pear that it might prevent an action for work r i and labour in printing the proceedings of the House. He wished to know to whom the protection was to be extended. Was it to be confined to the officers of the House, and were the booksellers and others, who would be induced by the liberal discount allowed by the House for the purchase of its papers, to be left subject to actions for all parties ? When it was stated who it was intended to protect, then they would know what to de . in Committee, but until that was known it seemed to him impossible for them to determine in Commit tee whether the clauses were well framed or not. He thought every useful purpose would be answered by extending the protection of the House to its own officers r who, in the event of the House cancelling a work, would immediately obey. Worded as the Bill now stood, it was impossible for any man to say bow far it might go. Under the words used in the Bill, even an action for work and labour done upon any publication ordered by the House might be stopped. He hoped, before they went into Committee they would hear how far it was intended to go, and what purpose was intended to be effected by the Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He also objected strongly to the second clause, although he agreed that legislation was necessary. Lord J. RUSSELL —The object of the Bill was i' stated fully when he moved for leave to bring it in. He did not think that that was the proper stage for them to discuss the wording of the Bill it would be more advantageously done in Committee. Ho ad mitted that the intention of the frarn,gcs of the Bill was to confine the protection to persons pub lishing under the authority of the House. On going over the Bill since, it appeared to him that there was some doubt whether it might lso inter preted to extend further, and to include parties who purchased these papers for the purpose of reselling them. He should be satisfied, however, it it carried the pro tection as far as he intended.—(Hear.) At the same time he thought it a very important subject, but it would be for the Committee to decide whether any alteration should be made in it.--(Hear, hear.) It was, he feared, extremely difficult in drawing up a Bill like the present, to introduce words which would not be open to great objection. It would, however, be far better to discuss these points in Committee. The House then went into Committee, Mr. BIRNAL • in the chair. __ _ Sir R. GLIS admitted the inconvenience of dis cussing these matters before going i n t o C omm i ttee, but h e thought his Right Honourable an d L earne d Friend the Member for Ripon was perfectly jus tified in calling the attention o f t h e H ouse to th e matter. He did not think they would be jut tified in adopting the first clause of the Bill unaltered He agreed that it was desirable to extend the protect ing clause much further than his Noble Fri en d seemed willing t o d o, and not to do 80 could only arise from a desire of keeping up the copy. right. When the second clause should be brought forward it would be the best time to enter into the dis cussion ; but when he was told that it was essential to the due and effectual exercise and discharge of the functions and duties of Parliament tint there should be no obstruction to the publication of such of its Votes and Proceedings as either Hone of Parliament should think it fit and essential to pub lish, h e as k e d b ow l ong that had b een, and bow far it (MUM.

Lord LINCOLN asked when the Constabulary Act, which the Under Secretary for the Home Department had obtained leave to bring in, would be produced. Mr. FOX MAULE was understood to say, that he had received so many suggestions that the Bill had been greatly altered, but it would be presented soon. NEW SOUTH WALES. Mr. GOUL BURN asked if despatches bad been re- ceived by the Government to the effect that, in the Lgislative Council of New South \Vales, propositions had been made for the establishment of schools, in which the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith were to be taught? Lord J. RUSSELL said there had not been received any such official communication. HOSTILITIES IN CHINA, Sir J. GktAHAM wished to repeat a question which be had formerly put, as to whether the Gove rnment had received any o ffi cial commun ications with regard to the hostilities between the British and Chinese vessels, of which the Noble Lord had admitted that he had received private information. Lord J. RUSSELL said no official information had been received on the subject.—(Laughter from the Op position.) The letters were not suc h as he could pro duce to the House. Sir J. GRAHAM—But the purport:of them? Lord J. RUSSELL —Only that the order to cease firing (as we understtiod) was net given by the Com missioner, but by the British Officer. Sir J. GRA HAM —Was there no communication by the last mail ? Lord J. RUSSELL —None.—(Ironical cries of " Hear, hear,' from the Opposition.) DECCAN PRIZE MONEY. Lord SANDON put a question regarding this sub ject, but th e answer of Sir J. C. Hobhouse was so in audible, notwithstanding the repeated exhortations of Mr. Hume to " speak up," that we are unable to give any account of it. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—WouId the Noble Lord allow him to ask whether, by the last arrival from India, no further intelligence respecting the proceedings at Canton had been received ? Lord PALMERSTON said no accounts later than those which had been laid on the table of the House had been received—no official accounts.—(Hear.) Mr. EWART begged to ask the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Control whether he was able to give the House any further information regarding the growth of tea in India ; and had he any coramunica- SIGHT AND HEARING.
