The Seventh Annual Meeting cf Directors and Pro prietors of the National Provincial Bank of England took place this day at the Company's Offices, 112, Bishops. gate-street Within. The meeting was most numerously and respectably attended, there being a large number of influential gentlemen present from various parts of the t•'euntry. At twelve o'clock, on the motion of Philip Courtney, Esq., 11. P., seconded by James R. Todd, Esq., JOHN MELVILLE, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Dneetc,rs, was called to the Chair. The CHA In:IN briefly congratulated the Proprietors upon being enabled to meet them in their own house, and re ferred to the gratifyidg progress which the affairs of the Company l.ad made since their last meeting, and the in creased and increasing confidence which the public gene rally evinced towards their establishment. The following report was then read : " On this, the Seventh Anniversary of the Company, the Direeturs feel it to be matter of congratulation that the Peoprietors are now assembled within their own premises, the advantageous purchase of which was announced in the last Report. The necessity of a permanent place of busi nets far the head establishment, affording suitable acco rna6atiou for the transaction cf its affairs, as well as a safe re pository for records and securities, has long been felt ; and tine Directors trust that the Proprietors will approve of the selection of these premises, as in ail respects well adapted ter the purposes in view. The only additional branches that have been estE buished arc the following : Dartmouth. Bangor. 11°11, we:l. Non h% K:lut sford. At Dartmouth the Directors were induced to open a Lranch, from having •an offer, upon advantageous terms, of the business of the old and respecta ble in of Messrs. Harris and Co., private bankers in that town. Under an arrangement with that house, treir business has accordingly been transferred to the Com pany, and the connection, while it is safe and profitable in itself, will also, the Directors anticipate, have a favourable it:fiat-nee upon the operations of the other branches in that c7istrict. The business of the branches previously opened in North Wales reneered an establishment at Bangor desirable, and at the o her three places last mentioned the field was left a!mest enocetiiiied by the retirement of ether Banks. The progress of these branches, which have only been a short time in operation, is very promising. The period which has elapsed since the Directors last net the Vroprietors, has been marked by the recurrence of ene'of those revulsions in our monetary system, with which at irregular intervals this country has long been visited ; but it is consolatory to Sad that the pressures of 1836 and 1639, although of longer duration, havebeen less extensive ;Ind severe in their effects than those of former years ; a circumstance greatly attributable to the mainte nance of public confidence by the Joint-stocks Banks, and the support which their large paid up capital has en abled them to give to the commercial and trading inte re,ts. The monetary dillieulties of last year were early forem-n by the Directors. So far back as the month of December, 1938, the state of the Money Market appeared to them so unfavourable, as to call for the greatest cir cumspection cn their part; and, although money was sOrnewli;t easier in April and May following, yet the drain of bullion and the other symptoms of an approaching crisis convinced them that caution was their wisest policy. Aecoraiiogly, from the date first mentioned, the Directors continued carafv!ly to puteue a discriminating and resttic tive course, which enabled them to pass through the seasan of derangement and difficulty which ensued with compa ra:isely little anxiety. During this protracted period of excitement it is grati fying to the Directors to be able to state that the confi deece of the publiC in this establishment remained unim paired; and that notwithstanding the distress which gene rally prevaited, its business continued to improve. Having taken this brief notice of the recent commercial revulsion, with the exception of which there has occurred no circumstance to affect the profits of the Bank, the Di rectors now beg to submit the annual statement of accounts, fern which it will be observed that a sum of upwards of ,'_o3/. has been added to the Reserve Fund. The returns ui the past year would have justified a larger appropria tion, but for the circumstances of the late ciisis, which inevitably involved a rr.o:e than usual proportion of loss : 'lB39.—Jieuary 1.

Accordingly, they have the gratifying an. nouncement to make to the Proprietors, that a Dividend will be declared for the half year, commencing Ist January last. e: the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The Directors have only further to state that three of their number go out of offce by rotation, viz.—Robert Bell, Isaac Nicholson, and Thomas F. Wilson, Esqrs. ; but who are eligible to be re-elected, and cffer themselves to the Proprietors accordingly. And that a vacancy, oc casioned by the retirement of Captain Probyn, is to be supplied." Mr. BROWN maved the adoption of the Rwort, the stattments in %I - bleb, he observed, must be highly satis facory to the Prop-le:Cm FlterteNs, Chairmar of the Stock Exchange, seconded the motion in a very able speech, in the course of %Ira he highly complimented the Directors upon the foresight and prudence which had marked their calcula tions and arranfiements, and the result of which was so gratifying to all those connected with the estahlishmen,. 'i he motion was carried unanimously. It was then moved and carricl that Robert Bill, E-q., L•aac Nicholson, EN., and Thomas F. WiLion, Esq three of the Directors who went out b; rotation, be re elected. Jamea Gordon Duff, Esq., was then elected a Director in the room of Capt. Probyn, who had retired. Mr. Dr.FF returned thanks for the hozourconferred upon biro. Mr. HICITENS said he did not think they ought to sepa ratt veithow. offering. their cordial thanks to the Directors 1,..r the very able and efficient manner in which they had managed the affairs of the Company. The motion having been seconded, was carried with ac clamation. The CumumaN, in his own name, and that of hisbrother Directors, returned thanks for the c mfidence reposed in them. He could assure the meeting, that so for as lay in their power they would endeavour to promote the interests of the Company. . Mr. BROWNE said they had another duty to perform be. fore they departed. AU the ability and exertion of the Directors would be unavailing in bringing the affairs of the Company to their present prosperous and satisfactory posi tion if they had not zealous and efficient agents.—( Hear.) He had grelt pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Robertson, the principal manager, and the other officers of the establishment. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. ROBERTSON returned thanks. The compliment that bad just been paid . them was one that must be very gratify ir at all times, but it was particularly so on the present Os Ision, coming as it did from so respectable and nu merous a meeting. He could assure them that no efforts , nould be ;wanting on his part, or that of his brother ofTi • rs, to forward the interests of the Company, and to en d tvour to merit on future occasions a similar honour to that which had then been conferred on them. '1 he meeting then separated apparently highly ,g, atised with the proceeeings of the day. SP IRIT of thePIBLiCJOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF TII , S DAY. (From the S.,erubidard.) • This evening Sir Charier W era i ll and Mr. Professor Butt, of the Irish bar, a gentlemant high talents are already known to the people of the w at s e a dkingdom, are to be heal d at the bar as Counsel for the - Corporation ll. of the city of Dublin against the Irish Municipalii of justice and sound policy is safe i .n such hands, The cause advocates can ensure safety, and we may hope ta a t a it iar as must be successful. Whatever learning and g en i us , and sincerity, can accomplish, will bo accomplished by Sir Charles and his learned colleague, and it would be as insult to the Howe of Lords to doubt, that learning, genius, zeal, and sincerity, will not be in vain employed before them to assert the truth. An opinion has been in citistrio us/y propagated that a majority of their Lordships are pl.: c!grd to the paisieg of the Irish Bill, with perhaps some modifieatinne To say this is to libel the House of Lords, to describe that' August Assembly as wholly unfit for the functions assigned to it by the ConstAu tion. Pledged by some private compact (for there is no public recerd of any such agreernent)—pledged by male private compact not to act as a deliberative body— Lot to fellow truth—not to listen to the voice of convic tion ! If we were to say of the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, that they were pledged, by a private compact made by them, or one of them, to give a particular decision upon a case to come judicially before them—if we were to say this of a Clerkenwell jury, would Lot the Attorney-General issue an ex-officio information against us, and with great propriety ? (From the Globe.) The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will very soon meet for the purpose of realising their expressed intentions cf last year, and addressing the Legislature . for a settlement of their present difficulties. It will then be the duty of the clergy and elders, by petitions, to instruct the Parliamen t and the Government regarding their wishes— to ask, either for the clergy or the communicants of their Church, the Presbyteries or the people of Scotland, the powers needful in their deliberate and collective judgments for ending the collisions and clashings of the civil and ecclesia tical authorities, which are now so fearfully shaking the very foundations of their venerable establishment. Lord Aberdeen, however, has been beforehand with them. He promises unasked. Prematurely offering them a gift of his own, he socks to bias their requests by announcing what it will suit his in terests to bestow on them, prior to any public expression of their wishes; fearful, doubtless, that the expression of their real wants may include demands with w hi_b ho can not comply, and manifeat necessiti:s for which there are no supplies in the stores of his statesmanship. Oddly enoug h, his friends make his haste and temerity a ground of lauda tion; and blame the Government for not being equz.lly foolhardy. EVENING EDITION. BOW-SMEET.-(THIS DAY.) THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL. RE-EXAMINATION OF COURVOISIER. The Court, and all the approaches to it, were crowded from an early hour this morning by persons anxious to catch a glimpse of the valet of the late lamented Noble man, who stands charged with the wilful murder of his master, and who was remanded on Monday last to this day. Among those present in the Court we observed, his Serene HighncsF. the Duke of Brunswick, who seemed very attentive to the whole of the pmeeedings ; Count Allen, his Equerry; the Earl of Essex ; Sir W. W. Wynne; Sir G. Beaumont; Mr. Murray. Mr. HALL, the Chief Magistrate, took his seat on the Bench shortly before . two o'clock, and almost immediately afterwards, Francois Benjamin Courvoisier was placed at the bar. He appeared collected. Mr. Hobler conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Flower appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Wing, the solicitor to the Puke of Bedford, was also in attendance. Mr. Hobler said that on the former occasion he bad merely given the evidence of Pearce; he would now go through the case from the beginning, and call Sarah Mancell—l was housemaid to the late Lord William Russell. He resided at 14, Norfolk-street, Park lane. I bad been in his service three years the last of this month. I was in his service on Tuesday, the sth of May. His establishMent consisted of a valet, a cook, and myself, residing in the house. The prisoner is the valet. His Lordship had two out-door servants, a coachman and groom. On Tuesday, sth May, I just saw his Lordship coming down stairs before breakfast, a little before half-past nine. He re mained in the dining. room a quarter of an hour. Ho left the house the same day a iew minutes before one. His Lordship had then breakfasted. I after that saw the pri soner. He had been in attendance on his Lordship at breakfast. The prisoner came up into my bedroom, pass ing through his own. I asked if his Lordship was gone out; he said yes. He said his Lordship had " given me five messages, and I am afraid I shall forget some." One of his messages was regarding the carriage. He s,.id his Lordship has ordered the carriage at five at Brookes's. He asked me what it was, and I told him a club. He said if his Lordship bad told him that he should have known what it was. Nothing else passed at that time. Myself and the prisoner dined together about a quarter past one. The prisoner left the house after dinner. One of his messages was to Meisrs. Jarvis and Jones, of Conduit street. The prisoner said there was a message about his 'Lordship's hat. The prisoner said if she man came to do the bell in his Lordship's room, would I go up with him. He went out after dinner, and returned a little before five. I was in the dhine-room when prisoner came in. He came to me there and spoke to me, but said nothing parti cular. A few minutes after he said be must lay his Lordship's things nut to dress for dinner. He then !eft me. I was in the kitchen, and there came a ring at the bell the prisoner answered it, and said it was the upholsterer's man ; this was about five o'clock. I after wards saw the upholsterer's man when he came down stairs ; he left the house by the front door I think. We then had tea. Whilst the prisoner and the upholsterer were up stairs there came a ring at the bell. I went into the area to see, and it was a friend of the valet's, named Carr. He asked to see the prisoner, and asked him to come down ; he ultimately did so. I had seers Carr there be fore ; he had come to visit the prisoner on former occa ior.s. In a few minutes after the prisoner came into the kitchen. We alt remained in the kitchen together. His Lordship returned at twenty minutes to six, in a cab. Whilst we were at tea the coachman came ; he came down to area steps. I raked the prisoner if he had ordered the carriage, he said no, he had forgotten it. I said to the coachman you were ordered to Brook's at five, and ought to have been there, and the prisoner repeated the same thing. The coachman did not remain, he only asked the valet if be bad been to Jarvis and Jones, and went with the carriage. The prisoner said he should tell his Lord ship he ordered the carriage at half-past five. I told him he had better tell his Lordship the trutb, as his Lordship would sooner forgive his forgetting the carriage than tell ing a falsehood. He said his Lordship was very for getful, and must pay for his forgetfulness.' C rr told the prisoner he had better tell the truth. After we had done tea, Carr aid the prisoner went into the passage. When his Lordship came home I went to the pantry, and Courvoisier said his Lordsbip is obliged to come home in a cab. He went up to his Lordship; he ! then returned to the pantry. His Lordship then rang the bell again. Courvoisier went up, and came down into the pantry with a letter, and taid he was going to the stables with it by desire of his Lordship. He told me in his pan try when he came back that his Lordship had said " I thought I ordered my carriage at five." He said " No, half-past." His Lordship —" I thought it was five," and he said " No, my Lord, half-past five." He said his Lordship appeared rather angry at first, but after that he became quite good-tempered. His Lordship had a large dog, and whey, prisoner returned from the rabies, he told witness he was going up stairs to let the dog in. The dog was a large white one. The dog came into the house every morning and evening. His Lordship then went out; this was about six o'clock. His Lordship returned from his walk shortly after six. I did not see his Lordship go out. Prisoner tcld me his Lerdabip was gone out again. I said, suppose his Lord ship should meet William with the carriage • he said he had left word at the s t a bl es to te ll William that his Lord ship was come home. His Lordship was absent about haif an hour, when he returned. The prisoner then made preparation for his Lordship's dinner. I was in the dining room when the prisoner came up with the table-cloth. After that I went up in my bed-room. The bell-hanger came again about this time. The valet rang the bell ; I came down, and the valet asked me to go with the bell hanger, to see him put a bell on the door; it was on his Lordship's bed-room door. I said I would, and went with him. I was upstairs till 8 o'clock. When I Caine down I found the prisoner in the pantry. I saw the man tighten the bell in his Lordship's bed-room, and then he left, taking with him the handle of the door. The bell is placed at the head of the bed, near the window, so that a person can ring it lying in bed. No one was with the prisoner in the pantry. The coachman came in to fetch the dog a little before nine, be came by the area steps, through the kitchen, into the pantry. He remained a little more than a quarter of an hour, and then he fetched the dog. It was usual for him to do so. He went to the drawing-room for the dog. It was his Lordship's custom to have the dog with him from dinner time until he had coffee. The coachman Look the dog away. I was in the pantry, and Courvoisicr said they , were going to have coffee made, and asked the coachman to have some. lie said be could not step. The cook was cut. The prisoner and myself were left alone. We supped together We conversed together about a new servant coming, and Courvoisier said if his Lordship did not take his friend he should not stay ; that ho wi,hed be bad not come into the place, as he did not like it so well as he thought be should. lie said his Lordship was fidgetty, and he thought not pleased with him, and that he was cross and peevish. I said nonsense. He has at other times used similar expressions. I recollect his Lordship going to Richmond about a week before this, where he staid a abort time. The prisoner accompanied him. He complained shortly after their return of his Lordship's conduct to him. He said his Lordship had been very cross and peevish at Richmond, and that he had changed his room t hree times. He said he did not think he should be able to stay long will] his Lordship. I told him the changing his room bad made his Lordship cross. The cook returned on Tuesday even ing, shortly after six. I was in the kitchen. The prisoner let her in. He said all the ale was gone, but he would fetch her more ; he did so ; he went by the area gate. There is a lock, the key is kept in the kitchen. I heard him take th e key when he went to fetch the beer ; the gate had been locked at nine. I did net see him bring it back. In a q uarter of an hour after I went to light his Lordship's bed-room fire. The room was then in order, and I then went to b e d i mmediately ; this was at half-past ten. The prisoner's bed-room is on the same floor with mine, at the tack of th e h ouse ; the room where I and the cook sleep is in front. His Lordship's room is under my Morn. The cook came up to bed about a quarter of an hour after I did. His Lordship did not go out of the House after he had dined. When I went up to bed his Lordship was in tho hack drawing-room ; he had just rang the bell. I met the prisoner on the stairs. Alter we were gone to bed, the only persons left up in the house would be his Lord ship and the prisoner. His Lordship retired to rest gene rally at twelve o'clock. It was the valet's duty to sit up until his Lordship bad retired to rest. I did not quit my room during the night. I awoke ab ou t h a lf- past six the next morning, Wednesday. May 6; and got up and went down about a quarter to seven. I was accustomed to knock at tire prisoner's door as I went down. I did so that morning. I did not see him then. I cannot say whether he answered. I did not hear him. I went down stairs. passed his Lordship's room , and found a warm in;-pan lying at the door. It was his Lordship's custom to have his bed warmed, and that was a duty performed by hi Lord_ ship's the valet. I had once seen the pan left there 'before, and told prisoner of it, as it wa s not a proper pl ace. I lef t it, and went into the back room adjoin ing then into ship' s b e d- room to see for the brooz', an d back drawing-room, and chew the blind?. I saw his Lordship's writing desk turned round, the drawers open, and the top jammed up with some papers. Ifs keys were lying on the top drawer, and some, of his papers. A screw I driver vca3 lying ou tie chair. I hal seen the, screw driver l bef6re in the valit'e pantry, a few drys before. I: then went into the front room and opened the shutters, but observed nothing particular. I then went down stairs, and at the bottom of the staircase I saw a rumhee of thiegs against the front door. I saw his Lordship's large blue cloak, his opera glass, and a little trinket box lying on the top of the cloak, close to the street door. I saw a number of things tied up in a napkin, end in the folds were his Lordship's gold pen. cil-case and his tooth-pick tipped with gold, all lying in the same passage. I looked into the napkin, and saw a a silver sugar dredger, a pair of his Lordship's spectacles, a littlesilver caddy spoon, a silver top of a salt-dredger, and a silver thimble, and also a siltar dish cover. The spectacles were mounted with tortoise-shell. It was the same, it appears, his Lordship bad the day before at dinner, and he used it twice. I had last seen it in the drawer in the pantry. This was in the afternoon before his Lordship's dinner. The sugar-dredger was kept in the pantry, the caddy-spoon, the cover, and the top of the salt were also kept in tee pantry. Ido not know where the spectacles were kept. The tooth-pick and gold pencil were continually laid on a little table in his Lord ship's bed-room, covered with a a bite cloth. His Lordship had two cloaks, and they were generally placed on the last chair in the dining-room. His Lordship hail not used that cloak for a fortnight before. I went up to the street-door and examined it. I found it unbolted, unlockel, and unchained, with no other fastening than the latch. I went into the front drawing-room, and saw something on the floor. I felt dams& and act the door odes, and opened the shutters. I saw all the drawers opened, and the knives and silver lying oti the floor scat tered about the room. I felt dreadfully alarmed, and west up stairs—the silver consisted of the candlesticks, the the snuffers, end the bottoms of the dish-covers and other articles. I went up to call the cook ; she was in bed in my room. I opened the door and asked her if she knew knew if anything had been the matter last eight, and de scribed to her the state I bad seen the room in. She said " Call Courvoisier." I did so. I said, Courvoisier, do you know if any thing has been the matter last night? He said no. I said all your silver things arc about. He came to the door immediately, He was dressed all but his coat. He ran down stairs, and took the warming pan with him. I told him what I had told the cook. Ile looked pale and agitated. He was not usually so quick when he was called. Not nacre than five minutes elapsed from the time I first went down until I returned. I am sure it was not ten minutes. He would sometimes be nearly an hour after he was called before he came down dressed. Sometimes half an hour or 20 minutes. I never knew him dress in a quarter of cn hour. His time varied from half an hour to an hour. He washed and dressed himeelfgenerally in his pantry There was a basin and water-jug in his room. I fol lowed him down stairr ; he went first to the dining-room and laid the pan down; he then proceeded to the pantry. He said something which I thenot recollect when he came into - the dining-room. I went with him to the pantry and observed the cupboard door and drawers open, and several things on a bench there. He made his way to the drawers and said, " Or., my God, sonic one lees robbed us." I said let us go up stairs; we went. On going up I said, " For God's sake go and see where his Lordship .s." lie went up and opened his Lordship's bed-:nom door. I was close to him. The door has a spring ; 1 opened it instantly, and went in alter him. I saw the prisoner in the act of opening the shutters of the middle win dow. I had got as far as the foot of the bed. The curtains were cpen. I saw blood on the pintoes. and screamed and rain out. I do not think I saw his Lordship. He generally lay on the side nett the window I only saw the blood. His Lordship generally on the right side, with his face towards the window. I have often seen him reposing in bed in that way. The night before I had prepared the bed and drawn the curtains at the side hest the door, and a little the Poet curtains ; they were in , the same state I had left them. I did not hear the pri soner say anything. I ran out and left him there, then went out and gave the alarm to the servants of a neigh_ bone. The door was on the latch. In a few minutes I returned, and met the cook in the passage at the bottom of the stairs. I saw the prisoner sitting in a chair its the front dining-room. There was a large book on 'tire table, and he was writing on a piece of paper in the book. He wrote two words. I said " What the devil are you sitting here for; why don't you go and see for sonic one, or for a docter l' He said he mew write to Mr. Russell ; and I said some one must go. He went out on the step of the front door and beckened to a labouring man passing. I said don't call such a man as that. He then came back into the house. Mr. Cutler's man shortly after came in. and others also. Mr. La•lnam'e butler and his Lordship's coachman were the first who went into his Lordship's room, before the police came. I accompanied them, as did my fellow-servant the cook. I did not sue the prisoner. I do not recollect that he went with us. I did not go into the room then, but ran down stairs, when I heard Mr. Latham's butler ask for a doctor. I went down stairs, and sent for one. The police came in about ten minutes, and then I went into the room with them. I went to the foot of the bed, and saw his Lord ship's face. (The witness was much affLcted while giv ing this part of his evidence.) I went to the dressing table ; there was nothing on it. There was a great deal of blood ch one side of his face and on the pillow. The shutters were then quite open. All the things he used to ' I keep on the dressing-table, such as his rings, his pencil. case, and toothpick, were all gone. His Lordship was accustomed to wear a small wedding-ring, a large thick plain gold ring, a large ring with a large dark stone in it, engraved with an animal ; another ring with a smaller stone, and another which I cannot describe. I have seen these articles many times, and should know them. I have seen a silver medal, with a ' ribbon to it in his Lordship's possession. The one produced is the one, it used to be kept in a box by his Lordship's bed. I have never examined it, but I believe it to be the same. Tire rings prodticed are those his Lordship - used to wear. The witness also identified the pencil.case, toothpick, spec tacles, and other articles, which were produced by the police, as the property of Lord William Russell. The napkin was also produced and identified. It was marked "W. R., No. 2." I: was the onc found in the pass ige, which I had given out for his Lordship's use on the Mon day. His Lordship had some pieces of foreign gold in his possession. The pieces produced resemble deem. It might be three mouths since I saw those coins in his Lord ship's possession. I know the purse produced. It was ' Lord William Russell's. The Monday before his Lett'. ship's death I saw the rings all on his Lordship's table. The pencil.case and toothpick would be lying on the dress- ' ilig-table with the rings. This purse was not his usual purse; his usual purse was a long silk one. I have had conversations with the prisoner about money; the last time was Tuesday morning, sth May. Prisoner said he never took any money oat with hint, and never left any at borne, nor had any in the Bank. After that he said he had St and some add shillings in the Bank. I asked him what Bank, and he said St. Martin's-lone. I said that was the best Bank he could put it in. He said that he had brought some money to England with him, and all the money he had then was 51., and he must ask his Lordship for more. I asked him if he had spent all that money I saw him take out the other day. He said he had, all but 3s. he had paid a tailor's bill ; that was all that passed then. At tea time Carr was talking about a raffle, and said be put pri soner down for one. He said he would be put down for two. Mr. Flower declined asking questions at present. In answer to Mr. HALL, witness stated that on Wanes day morning prisoner pet on his coat as he was corning down stairs. Witness went into prisoner's room the fhl lowing.day. Ther e were no c l ot h es l y i ng a b out. Wi tness did not hear any disturbance during the night. She never woke all night. Mary Hastel was then sworn and examined by Mr Ilemeeit.-1 was in the service of Lord William Russell as cook. I had been in his service two years and nine months. The housemaid was there before rne. Tire pri soner had been in his lordship's service five weeks. James Ellis, the last valet, left the day prisoner came. On the evening of Tuesday, the sth of May, his lord ship diced at home. It was the prisoner's duty to wait at dinner. There was a small quantity of plate used. which I washed. I went one that evening a little before nine, and returned a little before ten o'clock. I came in at the street-door. Couvoisier let me in. He went up the area steps and returned. I believe he locked the gate, and brought the key in. Ido not recollect seeing the keg in his band. He locked and chained the doer when I came in. I went up to bed. I believe the valet raked me to look at his Lordship's fire as I went up. This was about half-past ten. Nothing occurred citti•ing the night to disturb me. His Lordship usually burnt a rehlight. The how.emaid was up first tire next morning. I heard her knock at the prisoner's door. I did not hear any answer. My door was shut. The housemaid, in about five minutes, came back and trod me the house was in confusion. I desired her to tell Courvoisier, and she knocked at his door. I heard them both go down stairs. I got up immediately and went down stairs. I heard the housemaid scream, which ft ight erred me. I ran down, and sine told me his Lordship was killed. I went into the dining-room and saw the housemaid and prisoner. He pointed out the things lying about. He was sitting down with pen and paper, as if going to write. He afterwards was sitting in the back dining-room, and he said, •• Oh, dear, they'll think it's me ; I shall neverget a place again." There were various articles lying scattered' about the diningaroom and passsge, as if they had been disturbed in the night. After tire police came in I went into his Lord ship's bed-room, rind saw the corpse. I generally bolted and locked the down-stairs doors, the front-kitchen door and the ,back-kitchen door. I fastened the back-door before I went out, and do not recollect opening it after warder Ido not recollect wbether I went to look at the door the last thine. It was the man's business to fasten t he door that led frem the passage into the yard. Mr. Flower declined to cross-examine the witness. In answer to Mr. HALL witness said she had lost a thimble, which she saw in a dinner napkin on the morning in question, with the other articles. The thim ble produced is the one. She did not see what the pri soner had written, but thinls it was in French. Sarah Mansell called, and examined by Mr. HALL—I cannot tell what the two words wet° the prisoner wrote. I do not know whether be finished the letter and sent it off, or what became of it. He said be must write to Air. Russell, On the application of Mr. Hohler, the further ceasieera tion of the case was postponed till to-morrow wctk at 10 o'clock precisely. Mr. Flower said his client was anxious for the fullest ir,vestigation. The prisoner was then remanded till to-morrow week.

The Marquis of WESTME AT H presented n petition from the Guild of St. John against the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. The Mcßee. Mantles, in reference to the question which he bad intended to put to the Noble Marquis, the Secie tary for the Home Department, observed that the (ace of Master in Chancery in Ireland was filled up, a new new writ having been moved in the House of Commons in the place of Mr. Sergeant Currie, but by a Member of that House. Although the question of which he had given nr tic° was rendered unnecessary by that appointment, ho could help saying that it was a most extraordinary omif sion on the part of her Majesty's Government to leave so important office vacant for more than two months. He now begged to ask the Noble Marquis of there was no ob jection to state what the salary of the newly appointed Master was to be ? When Mr. Gould was appointed there ass an understanding that the income should not exec( d 2,0001. British yearly. The Marquis of NORMANDY said that he was not aware of any arrangement having been entered into with respect to the salary of the new Master of Chancery in Ireland. As regarded the inconvenit rice which the Noble Marquis'bad stated to have occurred in the Court of Chancery in Ireland, he (the Marquis of Normanby) had not:been informed that any such inconvenience had takea place. He believed. on the contrary, that the business of the Court in question had of late gone on us usual. The Earl of HA DDING rON presented a petition from the Western Division of the Ceunty of Ross, against the Law of Evidence ( Scotland) Bid ; also a petition fre,rn parish in the county of Edinburgh, praying that nothing should be granted in the sense in whicu it had been demanded by the non-intrusion clergy, until they had giveen obedience to the law as it ❑ow stood.

On Lord KENYON moving the Order of the Day for the hearing of Counsel on the. Irish Corporation Bill, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that though he did not intend to oppose the mutinn of the Noble Lord, he wished to call the attention of the House to the subject He confessed that when he considered how often the prin ciples and details of the Bill had been before the house, he was himself of opinion that it could not Le considered a very harsh proceeding towa:ds the petitioners, if the House declined to hear counsel in their favour at the bar. From the importance; however, which some Noble Lords seemed to attach to the allegations contained in the report of the Commissioners on Irish Corporations, he was un willing to refuse the petitioneis the opportunity of con tradicting these allegations. At the same time he hoped it would be understood that Counsel should not be heard against the principle of the Bill, but against certain de tails which they might consider militated unfairly against the interests of particidar parties. That was the course which had been followed in the only other instance in which counsel had been heard on a similar sub ject. lie alluded to the case of the English Municipal Bill; and he thought there could new be no objection to follow the example ;aid down on that occasion. Lord KENYON said that he merely wished that coun sel should be heard on the same principle, and in the same manner as in the case of the English Municipal Corpo rations. The Marquis of WE STM E ATH thought that the ob stivations of the Noble Marquis would have been more properly made at the time when her Majesty's Ministers consezted to allow cow scl to be heard. The: counsel had by this time prepared themselves as to the points on which they should speak. Lord ELLEN BOROUGH thought the course which was followed in respect of the English Corporation Bill ought to be adhered to as closely as possible; but it would be better and more convenient to instinct the Counsel before hand, than to interrupt them every moment, and discuss the question whether thav were in order or not. The Marquis_of LANSDOWNE rose, and was: LEFT 11113AKING. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. thelpNelepresen ted Lewis, aecomplain ing titsig ned ion of b ya large the bribery, intimidation, and coercion which prevailed at the election of Members of Parliament for that borough, which the petitioners attributed to the frequency of elections, there having been one on an average every two years for the lest thirty years, and as the petitioners believed bribery, Intimidation, and corruption to he on the increase, not only at Lewes, b u t i n other parts of the kin :dein, th e y prayed the House to provide a remedy without delay. Mr. Fl'rzßo Y objected to the receipt of the petition under th e c i rcumst ances under which it was presented. H . e had cast his eyes over it, and found it was apparently signed by about 200 electors. If these persons had known of the practices they complained of going t n for so many years, he thought they had shown themselves unworthy of the franchise in not having given the House an opportunity of testing the truth o l their allegations before a Committee of the House. — ( H ear, hear, hea r.) It Was wrong in these persons to make vague and unfair charges , in petitions to the Houle, when there was a pro pcny constituted tribunal where their accusations might be proved, if true. He had known the borough some years and since 1835 h a d steed t h ree elections, and the only in: stance of bribery he had met was during an election at which the lion. Member for Leicestershire was a candidate—wh en having got scent o f t h e p r actice that was going on , he (Mr. Fitzroy) put a person to watc h the briber, who was detected ; in the act, and an act i on b e i n g b.:ought against wa , convicted in a p ena l ty o f 5001. He thought the ease with which this efUnce was proved and verdict obtained, proved • tut t extcnsive system or kiloory con:d not exist, thcref.), thinking it v' unfair that vague cl-larges :ihould be brought in !Lis manner against a pure. c:oLstitlic.:,ey, Le Eihouid move that the petition sihould not be rece..ved. L A MBTON suggested that the petition should be read b.• tug Citrk. o.;it GEORGE GREY said if the petition were not brouL;lit up it could not he read. From what the Hon. Member who presented it had said, he saw no objection to its beiDg brouglit up.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. FITZROY said he should not object to its being brought up, but ho should object to its lying on the table. The petition was then brought up and read by the Clerk, to the effect 13ovi - , stated. Sir G. GREY said be heard nothing in the petition, which should prevent the House receiving it. The peti tioners stated there existed at Lewes what they conceived to be a grievance ; and he was, therefore, quite sure the House would not reject it. After a few words from Sir J. GRAHAM and Mr. DARBY, Mr. FiTZROY said, as it appeared to be the opinion of the House the petition should be received, he would not divide upon it, but he thought it his duty to protest against suoii sweeping accusations being made against what he be lieved to be a pure constituency. Sir E. \\AL \I OT presented a petition froio Aston against the Birmingham Police Bill. Mr. ROUND presented a petition from a place in Essex, in favour of Church Extension.

Mr. H ENNAGE presented a petition from the Corpo ration of Devizes, against certin counties in the County and Districts Constable Bill. Mr. O'BRIEN wished to call the attention of the House to a subject which he deemed to be of the greatest importance. His object was to ascertain how the ques tion of precedence might he decided between five or six Members who happeacd to be down at four o'clock, for the purposes cf giving notices. He was down a quarter before four with Mr. Hutt. At four o'clock another gentleman came in. He had arranged with Mr. Hutt that as soon as the clerk had put down his name he should put down his (Mr. O'B's.) Three or four gentlemen were standing around the table, and a dispute arose —(Cries of" Order.") He believed he was perfectly in order. His object was to ascertain whether there was any rule whereby those differences might be determined, and if so, what rule that was. It certainly would be most desirable to have some measure adopted by which that interminable confusion and indecent scrambling might be prevented. The SPEAKER said the rule way, that when the Speaker took the Chair the paper with the notices of Inc tions was put on the table, and every Member entered his name upon it. He believed that no one Member could enter the name of another. If the House were satisfied with the present arrangement, there could be no alteration except by adopting the bal loting plan.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. O'BRIEN said he wished to know in what manner the priority—(Oh, oh 1)—of Members was to be settled, when three or tour were standing together at the table, all waiting to put their names down. The 6PE AK E R—l apprehend that whoever first pu his name down, will be called on first.—(Roars of laughte and cries of " Hear, hear.) GRINDING CORN IN BOND. Mr. HUTT' gave notice that, on the 26th, he should bring forward a motion respecting the grinding of corn iu bond. CHINA. Mr. G. PALMER said, as the motion respecting China, of which he had given notice, had been so long delayed, that its being carried could not now prevent hos tilities, he should not boring it on.—( Loud ironical cheers from the Ministerial benches.) CANADA. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON gave notice, that in Com mittee on the Canada Bill he should move an addition to the clause re; rafning the CroAn from appointing any spiritual person to the Legislative Council. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. O'BRIEN said he would, to-morrow, move that the Ladies of every Member desirous of giving a notiec be written on a separate slip of paper, to be put into a glass Lox, and thence drawn at random by the Speaker when he took the Chair. PERSIA. Sir S. CANNING said he wished now to put some in quiries to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Af fairs on flu; subject of our relations with Persia, and he trusted the House would feel the deep importance of that subject to the interests of this country, and particularly at a period when so many of our foreign relations were in a state of doubt and perplexity. He wished to know what was the character of our relations with Persia? Sup poiino• our diplomatic relations with Persia to be sus pended, whether negotiations were in progress to restore them ? What difficulty, if any, had arisen, to retard the suc cess of those negotiations ? Whether that difficulty, did it exist, had arisen since the assurances given in her Majesty's speech from the throne at thei opening of the Session, that our difficulties with Persia would soon be satisfactorily settled? At present he would confine himself to these questions. Front the answers to these questions would depend whether he should have to put any further in quiries. Lord. PALMERSTON said the present state of our relations with Persia was exactly what it had been for the last twelve months. The state of' those relations was pre , cisely this—last summer an envoy from Persia came here, to whom he (Lord Palmerston) gave a distinct statement • of our demands, to which the envoy gave a reply far from satisfactory, fer, professing to agree to all those demands, it in reality proceeded to neutralise that profession by the way in which it pretended to carry it out. To that reply a rejoinder had been sent, which would have reached Teheran, late in March. The answer had not yet be. n received. The Right Hon. Gentleman would perceive that negotiations were in progress for bringing about a settlement, and nothing had occurred to destroy the hope held out in her Majesty's speech, that this settlement might be expacted at no distant period, because the last communications from Persia announced the determination to comply with our dem:trifs, and probably that had not been done because of the misunderstanding of our demands. Sir S. CANNING wished, with the permission of the House, to put one more question—. Was Sir John *Neil still invested with the powers of Envoi ? Lord PA LMERSTON—S . r John M'Neil was now on lea.e of •bisenee received by him last year. The Second Officer was in office as Charge d'Alhirs. pardon of th e H ouse for Sir S. CANNING begged putting one more question. He wished to know whether our impoit int trade with Persia was still under Consular protection. _ _ Lord PALMERSTON said the Consul at Talriz had his commission still. Mr. M. PHILLIPS rose amidst loud cries of " Lord Da:liugton." He merely wished to ask the Attorney- General when it was likely that the question respectin g the validity o f th e Cha , ters of the Corpo ra ti on l ately granted to some large towns was to be settled. The liti gation which was going on was leading to a state of total disorganization in those towns, and it was most itn,:ortant that it should be settled at the earliest period. MTh° ATTORNEY-GENERAL Inid expected ilia very t.ty a - g - neti in the quer C,harnber; howevs'r, some: of the Ji.tes to 1 ,- .t.erid the Centrli Crimind C,turt, end ti case Nr,s now fixed to be arguei on the 2 lit of month, on which day he tru , ted there would It, favourable rcsuit. In answer to question from W. PATTEN, Mr. L AP,OUt.; HE RE :,rid thut negoeiations were still twin.- carried on belwoen 11,13 country and France—. treaty had actually been conc:uth:d. In answer to a question from Mr. T. PARKER, Mr. F. MAULE said the Bill stood fur committal, and the Hon. Member for Kent had given notice that he would MOVC that it he referred to a Select Commit:cc. He (Mr. F. Maule) intended to oppose that mollun, and if he succeeded he should have the Bill committed pru forma, and to have it reprinted, with certain amendments which he proposed to introduce, in consequence of suggestions that had been made to him. TilE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY. 14, 1840. NEW WRIT FOR LUDLOW. The Earl of DARLINGTON rose to move that the j Speaker do issue his warrant to the Cierk of the Crown, for a new writ for the borough cf Ludlow. He was happy to see the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies in his place, and es the public journals must have made him acquainted with the proceedings in that House, he would offer no further observations to the Noble Lard, than to say thet, it he supposed he meant any discourtesy, he begged to assure hies that it was far from his intention to do anything, of the kind.—( Hear, hear.) No person could been more happy to have dune anything to meet the wishes of the Noble Lord, and if, after that explanation he still thought he was in the wrong, no one could regret it more.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") with these observations he would move, that a new writ do issue for the Borough of Ludlow, and after lie had heard what the Noble Lord had to say on the subject, per haps the House would allow him to make a kw remarks. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could assure the Noble Lord that he had no intention of accusing him of any want of courtesy to himself, and he presumed to think that the Noble Lord had been influenced (entirely disregarding any request that he might have made) solely by a wish to discharge his public duty in that House. He considered, however, that the present was a question of very great public importance, and the Noble Lord would allow him to say further, that he did not think the Noble Lord had taken up that view which was consistent with the advantage of that House in making the proposition he had done, without giving the House an opportunity for the fullest consideration.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) 13 saying that he certainly thought that no party advocacy could be drawn in any way from giving the subject the fullest consideration with respect to the parties who had been concerned in such disgraceful proceedings which had - been brought to light by the Committce.—( 1 - 1 2ar, hear.) Ile could not undertake to say that either one political party or the other had any reason to pride itself on being free from the contamination of those proceedings—( Cries of " Hear, hear)—but going on froui the proceedings, therefore the Committee, after it had come to a resolution, declaring that the can didates for these two boroughs had been guilty by th e i r agents, both of bribery and corruption—having likewise entered into a special resolution, which was then pre sented to the House, end the House having theught but to order the whole of the evidence to be laid before it, he must tell the Noble Lord that any one who interposed an obstacle to the proceedings which the House might think proper to adopt to mark his sense of the grave and important character of the subject would be doing an injury to his own party —( Hear, hear.) The two parties he believed had little advantage the one over the oilier in respect cf the election, but that party would be prejudiced who ehoull in that House in any way appear to the public as being justly chargeable with the endeavour to slur over these proceedings,—( Hear hear.) I consider them as a light m itter, and to proceed at once, without further notice, to issue writs, as if this was merely an unfortunate case in which corrupt practices having been discovered, the parties must 1e more prudent for the future, but not marking in any way a sense of the dereliction of the parties and their determination to remedy the evil of such prac tices.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Therefore lie thought the Noble Lord had committed an error, and though be no doubt would differ from him in opinion, he Lord John Russell) thought lie would agree with him in the general priaciple that that party would be the looser which appeared to countenance these proceedings, and that there could be no greater advec tage, if he wished to make a party use of this, than having an opportunity of showing that his (Lord John R 112.. sell's) party in the House were anxious to dis courage, prevent, and punish such proceedings, and those opposed to them took a more favourable and lenient view of them. But he felt assured, when he stated the course he meant to take, that whatever opinion there might be as to the propriety of the proceedings which he should ask the House to adopt, that weever might have happened in the last few days (which he wished not further to notice) he felt quite sure all parties would join in what he had just now said, and feel it no; only disadvantageous but disgraceful to them not to show themselves forward in adopting any measure which would appear to remedy the evils exhibited in the Report.— ( Hear, hear.) With respect to the notice of the Noble Lord, he would state at once that he did not mean to oppose the issuing of the writ; but he mu:,t at the same time state he did not take that course because be did not think there was sufficient ground to induce the House to suspend the writ, nor that be thought there was wanting precedents of good times fur taking such a course ; but looking at the whole proceedings—looking to what was the case with respect to every other borougl•, and what had taken place at the last general election, he thought it would be more advisab:e if the House should proceed by sonic general measure to provide a further too medy against bribery and treating, then that which at present existed (he alluded only to what was done at pre sent in this particular case) than to use what was the undoubted porter of the House, and which it had frequently exercised, but v.hich certainly was a very strong- power, that of keeping below the proper number the Members of that and refusing the electors of any particular place the right of sending Members to repre sent their interests, and the enjoyment of the franchise. Ito would make a very short observation with respect to the evidence in these cases, for the Noble Lord must al low him to allude to Cambridge as well as Ludlow-- ( Ilear)—because there was a veay great similarity between the two cases, and because he was not then making a• objection solely to the passing over the ease of Ludlow, but an objection to their not considering the whole of the coo: as of great public importance. It appeared by the evi dence before those Committees that there had been parties bribed directly by gift of money, and that there had been most notorious cases of treating in both the burghs. (Hear, hear, from Sir R. Peel. ) Indeed, although be had looked into many cases of this description:—although in former times he had bad to deal with several cases in which there was more direct evidence of bribery among a great number of electors in which in certain casts the great majority of electors were proved to have received certain sums of money, and thus thy , evidence went more directly to the disfranchisement of the borough, and the punishment of individuals, yet lie must say, cases more disgusting, or showing a more profligate state of the constituent body—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear")—and showing more degrading practices on the part even of those who stood in the highest situations with re. Bard to the clections,tdovvn to the lowest, he must say he never sat in evidence taken before any Committee.— (Cheers.) It was not, therefore, on account of the light ness of these cases, t.r that either of them was to be,con . sidered as venial, but they ought to refrain from suet. measures e as they might think the case propily required But he would observe, before he went any further in stat ing what he proposed to do that these eases of continued meeting, of opening a great number of public-houses, alio allowing persons to go to those houses for any period 01 time, and to drink t o any extent, provided only they were supporters of a certain eandididate—( Hear, Lear)—to ask no question as to expence, and thus as it were to drug the electors into voting f.r a particular candidate. He thought that was not only bribery, but was one of the most disgusting and offensive tricks of bribery.--( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was certainly a distinction, and it was a distinction which was favourabble to taking means to prevent these prac tices, that there were more means of discovering treating than there was of discoverin g bribery. With respect to sums of money b e i ng g i ven, he thought that was au offence udon which it was the most difficult to procure satisfactory evidence, and therefore the House would ob serve that those few instances that were given with respec , to bribo7 could not be taken as giving anything like the whole of the amount of bribery ; but there were cases which did affard a sample of the proceedings of the party by whom bribery was resorted to; because if the' had a person who was not much connected with the burgh willing to distribute money, and they had an elector ready to receive that money, that transaction might be kept secret.
