S. MORDAN a ,,7t CO., whose excellent lead is well known in their Patent Eves ...pointed Pencils. As they supply nothing but the Pure ,"-lumberiand Lead, those objections, so frequently cempLint'd of, are entirely removed. We have had the gratification of seeing their method of manufacturing the p ( i tic il, f rom the native lead, and can therefore vouch for its genuineness. nil the consumer owes much to these improve ments in their maVifacture, as they now obtain all the qualities of Pure Cum erland Lead, Cedar Pencils at one uni torm price, anti not as foliaeriv, a different charge for each let tered Pencil.—S. Mordan Old Co., we understand, made these improvements some ten years fAck, at about the time of the de cease of the then only surviving i'artner of the Firm of Brook man and Latigdon. We were much pleased with our visit to S. M. and Co's Manufaetory, neatness of their Machinery, the order of the place in particular, and judging from the number of workmen employed at making Cedar Pencils, that S. Mordan and Co. must be taking the lead. A FRIEND TO THE FINE ARTS. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert went this morning to Ascot.

A public meeti ng o f the county of the Isle of Wight was held at our Town.hall yesterday, when resolutions were entered into, and a loyal address to her Majesty voted, expressing the detestation of the inhabitants at the diabolical attempt on her Majesty's life. The first intelligence of it was known here through the Third Edition of The Son, and caused a great sensation ; and no ether Paper men. tioning the subject, many doubted its being a fact, :not considering there was a sane man in England that would be guilty of such an act. The steamship Antwerp, Captain Jackson, ar rived yesterday morning off the Tower, having effected her pas sage from Antwerp in twenty-two hours, notwithstandin g violence of the wind. -< ) - 4 „IE.N T--RAIL --CitIMLNA.L - CO-URT. OLD COURT. ( Before L :ta Chief Justice TINDAL and Mr. Baroa PARKE. ) TRIAL OF COL. i,VOISIER FOR THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL. .ur Paper of yesterday.) (Continued from i. •e past two o'clock, and the ex. The Court re-assembled at hae s resumed.—The police have amination of the witness Mansell wae , orn that time to the pre remained in possession of the house 1. prisoner on the subject sent. I have had conversations with the •tay morning, the sth of money. The last time was on the Tues.. home, and that he of May. He said that he had no money at . the bank. He never took any out with him, nor had he any at shillings in a fterwards said he had eight po unds some odd' 'ouversation the bank. In the course of the same c gone he he said all the money he had was 51., and when that was' %ut I must ask his Lordship for more ; he had 81. on his books his Lordship. Ido not know what began the conversation, ..ainst asked him if he had got rid of all the money I had seen him take out. He had taken out some sovereigns with him he on th e }et onday before ;he had put them in his w aistcoat pocket; had the sovereigns out of his bed-room. It was to that she alluded. He said in answer, he had, for he had paid a itailor's bill. This conversation was on the Tuesday. It wa s the day before I bad seen him take out the money. The having money In the bank was mentioned before the tailor's bill. 1 asked WI what bank, he said in St. Martin's lane. I told him that was the best place he could put It in. He said before that he was not so well off now as when he first came to England, and he said it again at tea time, when Carr was there. On the Tuesday morning he said he had only 51 left. By Mr. Bacon PAII.K2--He did not say where the Si. was. By Mr. BODKIN—He spoke of the 51. before he said he had the 81. in the Bank. I never saw him in possession of any money except the sovereigns I have mentioned. I never saw any bank notes in his possession. I have heard him speak of Lord W. Rus. sell's property on two occasions ; the first was before his Lordship went to Richmond. He said old Billy was a rum old chap, and if he had his money he would not remain long in Eng land. I said his Lordship was not a very rich man, and he repeated what he had said. The se,eend time was after his return from Richmond. We conversed on the same subject, and he used the same words again. I was alone with the prisoner at supper on the night of Tuesday, May 5. I took some ale ; he offered me a glass of something else. I tasted it, but did not drink it'. The prisoner took a part of the same ale I did. In the course of the day, May 6, I asked prisoner if he heard me knock at his door; he said he thought he would begin to dress, but did not say whether he heard me or not. I have frequently seen the prisoner in his Lord ship's bed-room, and noticed that he always was looking into all his Lordship's property. I asked him what he was going to do, and he always said he was looking after something, but did not say what. This occurred before he went to Rich mond. I cannot say what particular articles he was looking at in the bed-room. He was, on one occasion, looking at the dressing-case; he had it down in his pantry. I never knew the other valet to have it down in the pantry. I cannot say what ar ticles he was looking at in the bed-room, because his Lordship used to lock up every thing except the dressing-case, and take the keys with hint. He was looking at his Lordship's property not only in one room, but in every room. When he went to Richmond, the little box covered with Russia leather, which his Lordship called his cash.box, was unlocked; he was looking into that. It was usually kept by the side of his Lord ship's bed. The prisoner brom;ht it down, and said it was un locked. His Lordship was then out for a walk. The prisoner brought it down into the dining.rocen. Ills Lordship burnt a rushlight in his room at night. I set up a whole rushlight on the night in question. I left it unlit. I have since given one of the same sort of rushlights to Inspector Beresford : it was out of the same parcel. Cross.examined by Mr. C. PIIILLIPs—I have been examined several times before the Magistrates. I think three times. I was also examined before the Coroner. I have not been examined by any body since the committal of the prisoner—not by Mr. Hobler —that I will swear to. This was not the first day I ever said that I had seen the prisoner looking at his Lordship's property. I told it to Mr. Hobler and my fellow-servant before I was ex amined at Bow.street. There have been occasions on which 1 have given this evidence without mentioning it. I gave evidence in the house of Lord W. Russell on the first or second day ; it was taken down in writing. Commissioner Maine was there; there was no magistrate there to my knowledge. Mr. Hobler was there. The prisoner was not present. Upon the oath I have taken, I never said I saw my Lord murdered in his bed when I went in with Cour. voisier at the time he opened the window. I have never said so to my recollection. I was that frightened I did not know what I said. • Mr. C. PHILLIPS —Did you ever represent that when you went the first time into the ,nom with Courvoisier, you saw my Lord murdered in his bed? Witness—l believe not. lam sure I did not. I was examined before the Coroner. Mr. C. PHILLIPS — Do you mean to stick by that answer now ? I put you in mind of the Coroner, and now I ask you if you have never said so Witness—To the best of ray recollection, never. ?dr. C. PHILLIPS—Who was the policeman you went in with the second time ? Witness—lnspector Tedman. I went to about the middle of the bed, and there I saw his Lordship's face. Tedman was in the room before I was. I did not see Tedman do anything to his Lordship. On going down into the passage, I saw the napkin ; I did not look into the folds of it, and I never represented that I looked into it on my first going down, and saw the pencil case and other things. I asked the conk if she knew anything had been the matter last night. I put the same question to Cour voisier. I did not think there was much the matter, because I had before seen his Lordship's papers strewed about. I did not know what to think when I saw the passage in the state it was. I was surprised at what I saw. I have sometimes found the street-door unfastened before. Some time before his Lordship went to Rich mond, Courvoisier had forgotten to fasten it. I went into the front drawing-room to open the shutters. I did not suspect any. thing wrong when I went into the front drawing-room. Courvoisier bev.koned to the man within five minutes after I had told him Mr. Rusell must be sent for, I have been living at Mivart's Hotel. When i left Mivart's I went into lodgings, where I remained two months. I" . then went into Lord W. Russell's service. I have said I felt drowsy as.'er taking the ale the prisoner gave me. I was not asked the question to-day. I generally feel drowsy at night, but I felt more drLswir that night than usual. It was not very shortly after taking tie ale I felt so. It might be half an hour, or three quarters, perhaps. I did not mean to insinuate that the prisoner had drugged the ale; I think it was quite right to apprise 1 -' 2 r, W. Russell of what had occurred. Belgrave-square is no great dii.7ance for a man to ride. Courvoisier might have gone and fetched the cs,` ch T an- Mr. PHILLIPS—And might he not have taken ti.**t opportunity to escape if he bad been conscious of guilt ? Witness— "'He might have done so ; the partition between my bed-room and Cons " isier's is a th;n one. I had not teen in his Lordship's room when . saki to Courvoisier " Let us go and see where his Lordship is." lex • ported to see his Lordship in his room, but I did not know where his Lordship was. 1 had no doubt he was in his bed-room. I was anxious to gee where his Lordship was. I have seen a ladder on the premises; it has been there ever since I have been in the house. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Up to the present moment, did any one hear any person say a word about that ladder being on the pre mises up to the present moment ? Witness—lnspector Tedman inquired about it. Mr. PHILLIPS—Was it mentioned at any of the exami. nations ? Witness—Not that I know of. The ladder was not always kept in the yard. It was sometimes kept in the bath-room, which is of the yard. I saw the ladder on Tuesday standing in the passage of the House—it had been used on the Monday for hanging some pictures for his Lordship. I asked Courvoisier to take it away; he did so, and on the morning of the Wednesday it was found by the side of the wall leading to No. 15. It was quite upright against the wall ; the top of it was nearly even with the top of the wall, and any person on the top round could look over the wall. I know the back glass door. Ido not know of any experiment made upon it by the police. I had not observed any marks upon it before the police came. I first mentioned about the prisoner giving me ale on 'my last examination at Bow-street. I had never been in the house 14, Norfolk-street, before I went into his Lordship's service. Mr. Donne, with whom I lived before I went to his Lordship's, was a tailor. I never saw the Waterloo medal found but once before, it was then on his Lordship's table in his bedroom. His Lordship never kept his door locked. I have heard Courvoisier say that he had 5/. a year less than the last valet. I never beast him say he was to receive 451. a year, and that it was double what he had when with Fector. When I said, let us go and see where his Lordship is, I did not hear Courvoisier say," What will he say ?" Vr. PIIILLTPS—I ask you by his desire if he did not say so ? Witness—l did not hear him. I did not see the area gate after Courvoisier came in. Re.examined by Mr. BODKIN—The examinations at the house did not take place on the day of the murder, but a day or two after. I was examined in the absence of the prisoner, and the prisoner also went in to be examined in my absence. The other servants were examined in the same way. We were all kept separate from each other. No one was at that time specifically charged with this offence to my knowledge. I found the door of the bedroom open when I followed Tedman into the room. I was part of the way down stairs when Tedman went into the room, and when I arrived Tedman was standing near his Lordship's head. Young and others had been in the bed-room previously. It was about three months before his Lordship's death that I saw the Waterloo medal in his room. His Lordship was not then present. Mary Hammen examined by Mr. CIIAMBERS-I was cook in Lord W. Russell's service, and had lived with him two years and nine months. On the night of the sth of May I went out a little before nine, and returned a little before ten alone. Courvoisier let tne in at the front door. When I came in he fastened the door. He locked it, bolted it, and chained it. I went down into the kitchen. I did not go out that night again. Before I went out I went into the lower yard, to fetch the cold meat for supper, and on my return bolted the door. There were two bolts to the door, one at the top, and the other at the bottom. Ido not think I bolted the bottom bolt, because it was out of repair. I had not of late been in the habit of bolting it. On my return I had my supper in the kitehen. The others had already supped. Mansell went to bed first. Before I went to bed Courvoisier went out of the area gate to fetch me some beer. I did not notice what lie did with the key when he returned. Ile took it to let himself out. I went to bed about half-past ten. The prisoner was then in the pantry. He had been there a few minutes. He went up into the drawing-room whilst I was at supper. When I came up stairs, Mansell was in bed; she did not, to my knowledge, leave that room during the course of the night. I did not leave it. I was not disturbed by any noise during the night. Mansell got up first, about a quarter to seven. I heard her knock at the prisoner's door; she went down stairs, and came up again in about five minutes. I immediately got up, and before that I heard her again knock at Courvoisier's door, and I heard them both go down stairs. Whilst I was dressing, I heard Mansell scream. 1 finished dressing, and ran down stairs to the lower part near the dining-room. I saw Mansell there; she said his Lordship was killed I just went into the dining_room. I saw the prisoner and the housemaid ; the prisoner was writing some. thing with a pen. I then went to the front door. In the course of the morning I saw the prisoner in the back dining-room, he was sitting in a chair. He said "Oh ! dear, they'll think it's me; shall never get a place again." I saw things lying about. In the passage there was his Lordship's cloak, opera-glass, and ticket-box. I saw a bundle in the passage, and the cloak tied up in a dinner_ napkin. The contents of that bundle were not taken out before the police came. I had left a thimble in a workbox in the right hand cupboard in the kitchen the night before. I found the cupboard and drawers in the kitchen open on that morning ; there Was nothing that I am aware of taken away except that thimble; before. In the morning it was open ; the lock there was nothi ng of any value in the cupboard; it was locked nightt t h h e ere were it tnowasacupboard that could he opened easily; marks of an locked it myself, and taken thek y ey was shot ; n in p st s r t u a m i t e s nt T o n n e,. it. e w w as aI littlehad I a bolt on one side. a m raw n , o r t certai i whether I put it down that night.

On Tuesday morning, h ,' when we were at breakfast, pry oiler said he had only 51., and when that was go ne l recollect my. L or d for more.

They were about seven feet high. There would be of the ladder no difficulty in a person putting his foot from the top THE SUN, LOS DON, FRI DA Y, JUNE 19, 1840, over the leadF. Th. clachman came . about ten minutes after 11,e housemaid had given tile alarm. Idu not know who sent for fir. W. Russell, but I knmw who went for Min, it was the ostler at Shenton's. He was sent for after o.urvoisicr had been in the back dining-room. The partition between my room and the prisoner's is a thin one. If he were moving a chair aboz.t in his room we should hear him. I was awake when the housemaid got up. She was about a quarter of an hour dressing. I thought Cuurvoisier was alarmed at the time. He said he should never get a place again. Ile was alarmed and agitated like the rest. It was about liv eor ten mi. nutes before the police came that I Woe: wed the pencil-case and toothpick case in the folds of the napkin. I think the housemaid was with me, and said something about it. There is some quantity of plate that has never yet been found. Among the massing plate there are forks and spoons. Re-examined by Mr. Citsmarits.—l do not know at all how mud) plate is misting. The pencil-case and toothpick were out. side the napkin. •Mr. Shenton is a livery-stable keeper, where his Lordship kept his horses at livery. I was to pa/ the household bills after Ellis left. Ido not know that the prisoner had any bills to pay for his Lordship. By Lord Chief Justice TINDkL.—The door leading to the house oln the area gate was bolted and barred, and I loft it so fastened on the :.'fight in question William Irc7l‘ examined by Mr. ADOLPHUK—I was coachman to the late Lord 1,7, 7 .i11iam Russell, living out of the house, and had been in his service three years. I went to his Lordship at half past eleven o'clock, on the sth of May. I had no direction from Courvoisier about going to Brookes'. I came again at half-past five o'clock. Courvoisier said You should have been at Brookes' at five o'clock, but I forgot to order you. I went and found his Lordship gone. His Lordship said something to sue about it. I went to his Lordship's at seven the next morning, and saw thecook, the house. maid, and Young, the butler, at '23. Young and myself went np to his Lordship's bed-room. Young drew the sheet aside, and I 'aw blood on the sheet and on the pillow. I did not see his face. The face was covered up with a cloth or towell of some kind. Tedman came soon after I had seen this. I was then at the foot of the bed. In consequence of what Tedman said, I went to Mr. Elsgood, the surgeon, and brought him to his Lord. ship's house. I saw the prisoner on my return, in the bed-room, sitting down behind the door. H;s face was covered with his hands. He said, "Oh my God, what shall Ido 1" I saw him about half ass hour after he went down stairs. Emanuel Young examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am butler to Mr. Lxtham, 23, Norfolk - street I remember the bell of my master's house being rung on the morning of Wednesday, the 6th of May. I saw t ,..e housemaid, Mansell. I went to the house of Lord Russell, and by Mansell's direction went for the police, and reburned in ten minutes. York, the coachman, came shortly after. We went up to Lord Russell's bed-room. The shutters of the middle window were opened. I noticed blood '‘'rt the towel was covering Lord upon the bolster and towel and s.. Russell's face. I turned down the shc7t off the bed. I slid not take off the towel, and did not see the wound. Shortly after the pri soner came into the room. At that time _ T4 urd Russell's head was covered. The right arm was lying Id A bent position. The housemaid told me the house was robbed, and his Lordship murdered. I felt his hand when I turned down the sheet, it was quite cold. I saw no weapon or instrument on or near the bed. The housemaid told me at the time I crossed the road. I believe she made use of the word murdered. I -aw the I napkin taken off his Lordship's face by Mr Elsgood, the sur geon. The prisoner came into the room while I was there. He went to the foot of the bed. He raised his band, and instantly fell back into an arm chair. He said, What shall we do ? He appeared to be very much distressed. He remained in the chair ten minutes, or a quarter of an hour. He said nothing that I heard, except " What shall we do ?" This he repca' ed frequently. He rose up from the chair, and walked to a small table in the room, and began to examine a dressing-case. He took off the top, and put the inner part, a kin.; of tray con. taming several articles, into a cupboard by the side of the fife place. He shut the cupboard door and came back to the firessing-case, and moved four rings, which were in the bottom of the dressing-case with his hand. During this time, lie said to me " I have only lived with his Lordship five weeks, and what shall I do for my character :" he did not meddle with any other articles while I was there; he mentioned several things as being missing, but I do not know what ; he mentioned some rings, his Lordship's watch, and a pin, as being missing. I then assisted Mr. Eisgood. Mr Elsgood had come into the room before the prisoner, I noticed a rushlight in the room, it appeared to have been burning a short time. After that I went to the lower part of the house; prisoner was wills me; he said, " Oh, here is where they came in." I was at the foot of the staircase, at the basement. I could see the door leading into the back area ; it was open. I examined the door, but not minutely; the prisoner went first, and took the door in his hand, when he made us eof the expression I have alluded to. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.—The appearance of his Lord. ship's neck was very horrifying; it affected me, but did not un. nerve me. I slid not see Tedman at the back area door. I found in the bed-room a silver candlestick, near his Lordship's bedside. The rushlight appeared to me to have been blown out. Re-examined by Mr. BODKIN.—At the time the prisoner fell back in the chair, the wound was exposed. The candlestick was standing upon a bookcase between the two windows. - Mr. Henry Elsgood examined by Mr. CHASIBERS—I am a sur geon, residing in Brook-street. I was called to the house of the late Lord William Russell, on the morning of the 6th May, at Nalf.past seven. I went into his bed-room, and saw his body in be',4 covered up. The bed clothes were over the body, and the towel over the face. I turned the clothes down, and removed the towel. The NAV was lying on the back, inclining to the right side. There was some 000 d on the sheet, and on the pillow, and on the towel over his face. His shirt collar was wide open, and there was a sort of worsted coNforter drawn over from the to the of the chesleft shoulder t. I divided it, and saw a wound extern... 4 4 p across the throat and neck, diviu . : r te the throat. It was-decidedly sufficient to destroy life immediately, It was about four or five inches deep at the commencement, and about three at the termination, It was made with one incision. Cleat force must have been used in making it. It might have been made with a kne or some such instrument. I have not been shown any knives that "ere found r 1 down stairs. It is impossible his Lordship could have intf:eted It himself. I found no instrument near his Lordship which it might have been done. I had never attended. Lord William Russell professionally. I again examined the body on the following Friday. The ball of the thumb of the right hand was nearly cut off. When I first uncovered the body the left hand gripped the sheet. Decidedly there would be a gush of blood to the left in inflicting such a wound. Did not observe any appearance of such an oceurrbnce, but there was blood upon the corner of the pillow lying by his side down by his head. as If it bad been used to prevent the gush of blood by holding It over the wound. The blood had flowed from the wound through the bed and bedding on to the floor. Mr. John Nu ssey—l zm an apothecary, residing in Cleve. land.row, and was the medical attendant of the late Lord William Russell. He was seventy-three years of age. lie was of spare and feeble habit, and subject to asthma. I was sent for to his house on the 6th of May, and found Mr. Elsgood there. I examined the wound, and have heard the evidence of Mr. and agree with him in what he has said. I could feel the n cel; bone in the wound. I requested those present to place' l . e things exactly as they had been at the time of 7. They did so. Courvoisier assisted in doing so. i t,w ble _Lord William could have inflicted that wound the as d i i n s , c po ov s e s t i upon himself. I hay.' seen the poultry carving knives in the house, they might have done it. Cross.examined by Mr. P.7ll3APPS—Anysharp instrument would have done it. A razor might pl,ssibly have done it. Thos. Selwyn—l ant servant to Mr. Cutler, living next door to the late Lord W. Russell's, in Norfolk. street.il went into Lord Rus. sell's on the morning of May 6, in conseOence of hearing screams. The screams were from Loid William Rusaell's house. I heard screaming in the upper part and then at the front door. On going in, I saw the housemaid and cook in the passage. 3 saw a cloak, an opera glass, and some other things in the passage. I went into the dining.room, The prisoner was there alone. He seas sit. ting between the door and the window. lie was not doing any thing. He asked me to go to No. 100, Park.strcet, to ask the butler to come up. 1 do not know who lives there, nor did he say who the butler was. He appeared very much agitated. He got up from his seat to speak to me. Nothing more passed be. twcen us. Soon after, two of the police came in. I then left Lord Russell's house, and returned to my master's. (The witness then described the place, and the relative position of the walls in the rear of the premises.) I went into the drawing-room, and from the window saw the wall of the stabling behind Lord Russell's house. The lead flat was very dusty. It is about three or four feet wide, and covers a flight of steps from my master's premises. I looked distinctly for marks in the dust of the lead flat, but could see none. I do not believe any person could have passed over that flat with out leaving a mark. The walls are all white-washed, and there was no mark of scraping of feet upon them. There was no way by which a person could come from my master's to Lord W. Russell's without crossing the lead flat. Cross.examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The two women were in an an agitated state as well as the prisoner. John Baldwin examined by Mr. Cuameuits.—l am a po. liceman. I was on duty in Norfolk.street on the morning of the 6th of May. I went to Lord William Russell's a few minutes past seven. A female let me in. Rolls was with me. I asked if there was any man.servant. I saw a person sitting behind the door who was pointed out to me as the man.servant. He was sitting with his bands over his face. I asked him why he did not get up? He made no answer, and did not move his hands from his face. I addressed him three times, and said to Rolls, " Rolls, he must know something about this." He never made any answer whatever. I rema;ned there putting up the things together. I then went down into the kitchen with Rolls, and examined the back kitchen.door. I saw it standing open. I observed some marks of violence on the door. I went into the butler's pantry, and found a person sitting behind the door, with his elbows on his knees and his hands to his face, ap. parently the same I had seen in the dining.toom. I told hint he had made a devil of a pretty mess of it, and that he must know all about it—(Laughter, in which the prisoner joined heartily—but I had no answer. I went into the yard, and got up out of the area into the top yard, and examined the pantry wall, between 14 and 15. It is a whitewashed wall. Near the top there is a ledge of slate projecting about two inches. There were no marks on the wall. The slate ledge was perfect. I got up by the steps so at to get up to the lead eat. The steps were standing in the yard against the wall, but not in such a position as any person could get up them. They were not open. Rolls pulled them out. I got up and saw the lead flat, it was covered with dust, and there were neither finger marks nor foot marks. No person could have passed over it without marking it. I tried it with my hand, and my hand made a mark on it. I afterwards walked on it and there were marks that you might see there had been somebody on it. I also looked at the high wall at the back of the yard, there were no marks whatever on it, nor were there any marks on the right hand side. Cross-examined by Mr. C. Fulmars—What were you doing when you were angry with the prisoner for not giving assistance ? Witness was inquiring what was lost. The females never told me any. thing. I did not make any mistake when I got upon the leads. I did thebest to discover marks and could see none. lam not liable to make mistakes intentionally. Ido not know that I made a mis takethat very morning. When I examined the kitchen door I thought at first some one had broken in when I saw the door was open, but on further examination I saw there was no break in. I never saw the placard offering a reward, and I do not know what it is to this day. I have heard of no reward in this case. I have been in Lord William Russell's house three or four times. I have not talked to my brother policeman belonging to the house about it ; it may have been mentioned. I have spoken to policemen about it. I will not swear I have not spoken to twenty about it. I never heard talk of any reward. I can write and read a little but not much. I belong to the Vine-street station. lam there every day. About 184 policemen go there daily. Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Did you never hear of any reward of 501. being offered for any of he missing spoon s a nd forks ? — There was something about it read out in general orders, but I do not know what it was about, nor what the amount of the reward was. I cannot tell when it was read. I cannot tell if It was a week ago, or four days ago, or if it was yesterday. Re-examined by Mr. Cu astaces— How long was it after the sth of May that you were first examined about this ?—I can't tell, ex. actly ; it may have been about a week. At the conclusion of the examination of the witness, the Court adjourned to ten o'clock tomorrow. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex remained upon the bench until the rising of the Court, and appeared to take the great est interest in the proceedings. The greater part of the ladies also remained until the termination of the day's proceedings. The prisoner, who, during the latter past of the day was accommodated with a chair, appeared to be an object of most intense interest. His firmness never deserted him for a moment. At the rising of the Court, Mr. ADOLPHUS made an application relating to the trial of Oxford for high treason, which was fixed for Monday next. , . LETTING OUT.—An Irish tailor, making a gentleman's coat and vest too small, was ordered to take them home and let them out. Some days after, the gentleman in quiring for his garments, was told by the ninth part of an Irishman, that the clothes, happening to fit a countryman of his, he had /st them out at a shilling per week.—Belfast News Letter.

The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE, seeing the Noble and Learned Lord (Lyndhurst) in his place, wished to ask him the course he meant to pursue to-morrow with refer ence to the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill? He wished to know whether the Noble and Learned Lord meant to proceed with the Bill, or to propose amend ments, or to adopt a course which had been taken on former occasions, to propose the amend ments pro, forma, and move that they should be printed for the information of the House. Lord LYNDHURST said it was not his intention to oppose going into Committee, but to propose a number of amendments similar to those which he had proposed last year. He should therefore propose that they should go into Committee pro forma, when he would move that the amendment should be printed. A long conversation ensued, in which several Noble Lords took part, but the Noble and Learned Lord ( Lyndhurst) did not intimate that he should adopt any other course. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that ho should tc-morrow move for a copy of the Royal instructions given to Mr. P. Thompson when he went out to Canada. The Bills on the table of the House wene then forward ed a stage, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Soc o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE I. The SraAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.

Gentleman on a farmer occasion presunted from Mr. Roberts's witc ; also petitions against Church Extens on. CORPORATION OF LONDON. Mr. WARBURTON also presented the following peti tion, which he moved should be printed with the Votes, as it was his intention to call the attention of the [louse to it on a future occasion : To the Right Honourable the:Commons of . 0 reat Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assea.bled, The humble petition of William Frederick Rock, of No. 11, Walbrook, in the city of London, card-maker and wholesale stationer, Showeth—That your petitioner has for seven years and upwards carried on his said business within the city, without molestation, until the year 1839, when he was required by the Corporation of this city to become a freeman thereof. That your petitioner thereupon waited upon the Chamberlai of the City, and was informed by him that the expense of becoming free was 141. l Is., viz. 51. to the City Purse, and 91. 1 ls. as fees and other expenses. That your petitioner then presented a memorial to the Common Council of the City, setting forth the injustice and impolicy of such fees, and praying that he might not be prosecuted for penalties. That his petition was referred to a Committee of the said Com mon Council, who objected to consider or report on the same, with. out the payment of 11 35. 6d. from your petitioner, as a fee for receiving the said memorial; and that your petitioner paid such sum of 1/. 3s. 6d. for his memorial being received and considered. That such Committee not agreeing with the prayer of your petitioner, contained in his said memorial, a suit was commenced against him in the Court of the Lord Mayor of London. That your petitioner was sued in the said Lord Mayor's Court, by the Chamberlain of the Corporation of London, the Recorder of the said Corporation being the presiding and only Judge, the Jury being mainly composed of freemen of the said Corporation, and you: petitioner (albeit that he employed a third) being compelled, by the rules of that peculiarly constituted Court, to employ, as two of his Advocates, City Pleaders, officers in the constant employ and pay of the same Corporation. That although this suit was conducted under such evident disa d. vantages, your petitioner Succeeded in nonsulting the City autho. rities. That the expenses of the said trial amounted (in conjunction with a similar one against his brother. to 70/. Bs.: and although the expenses, in conformity with the decision of the Court, were ostensibly paid by the Corporation, yet the sum actually received from them was only 241. 18s. 7d., leaving a large balance to be paid by your petitioner. That from information which he has obtained, your petitioner has reason to believe that the Corporation are about to take harassing proceedings of a similar character against your petitioner, although it is well known that your petitioner's business is wholesale only, and further that your petitioner is a burgess of Barnstaple, and is not liable to any penalties for trading in the city of London. That your petitioner believes that these legal proceedings are solely instituted because your petitioner. as honorary Secretary of the " City of London Corporate Reform Assoclation;.itai aettesty sought to remedy the acknowledged abuses of the said Corporation ; to render its Common Council subject to efficient popular control, and to abolish all rights, or supposed rights, of exclusive trading, as csntrary to the policy and spirit of the present age. That your petitioner knows, and is prepared to preve before a Committee of your Honourable House, that these proceedings are frequently instituted for the mere purpose of evicting money, as compromises, by the officers of the Corporation, and that many young traders are yearly driven thereby from the city of London, to their utter ruin. _ . . • - Thar your petitioner employs sixty.six person, on his premises of No. 11, Walbrook, in his business, and therefore considers that his being driven from the City boundaries would be a disadvantage to his fellow-citizens. That your petitioner is one of eight thousand householders of the City of London, forming, as he believes, a large majority of the re. spectable inhabitants of the City, who, during the last Session, prayed your Hon. House fur a reform of the abuses of the Corporation of London, and submitted to your Hon. House a plan for their remedy. Tha t if it is considered that such plan interferes with too many interests to be speedily carried into effect, your petitioner submits, that pending any delay, your petitioner and many other persons are likely to be oppressed by this Corporation, and tried by a Court and Jury at variance, as your petitioner believes, with the first and greatest principles of the British Constitution. Your petitioner therefore prays— That your Honourable House will, during the present Ses sion, pass a short Bill, abolishing all rights of exclusive trading within the City of London. And your petitioner, Sze. Sir s LUSHINGTON presented a petition from the British India Society, against the importation of Hill Coolies into the Mauritius. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON presented two petitions from Dissenting Congregations in Cambridge against Church Extension. Mr. FINCH presented petitions from Walsall to the same effect. Mr. A. WHITE presented petitions from Sunderland, Newcastle-upon. Tyne, and other places, to the same effect. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from Kelso in favocgr of Lord Aberdeen's Bill, with respect to the Scotch Church. The Hon. Gentleman also presented a petition from Dunbar' against the Municipal Corporations ( Scot land) Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the Leeds and Manchester Railway Company, praying the House not to adopt the clause in the Bill proposed by the Noble Lord, making it imperative upon the Railroad Companies to pass their accounts in a particular manner. Mr. TURNER presented a petition from Truro against Church Extension. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented three petitions from different parts of Yorkshire against Church.rates and Church Extension ; also x petition in favour of Mr. Easthopc's Bill for the Exemption of Dissenting Clergy men from the payment of Church-rates. Mr. ALSTON presented a petition from Hertford against Church Extension. Me. GALL Y KNIGHT presented petitions in favour of Church Extension. Mr. HEATHCOTE presented petitions in favour of the Chimney Siseeper's Bill from places in Lincoln. COURTS OF LAW. Sir E. K N A T C HB UL L presented a petition from the solicitors of Kent, praying the House to take measures for the purpose of removing the Courts of Law from West minster Hall to a more convenient situation. El Mr. S A W presented a petitio n from Queen's County against the present system of Natio nal Educati on in Ir elan. NON-INTRUSION. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition, most numerously and respectably signed, from Edinburgh, praying that the House would immediately take such steps as it might think moat advisable for terminating het dAlerences which at present existed between the Esablished Church in Scotland and the Courts of Law in that country. The Right Honourable Baronet then gave nuttce that on Mon isv next he should present a most important petition on the same subject front the seven suspended ministe.rs of the Presbytery of Scotland. Mr. FOX MAULS vvi,heti to know whether it was the intention of the Right. Hon. Bart. in presenting that petition that the qJtstion tra y wileti i. r4 , rrcd shou then ld unbedeigo any discussion, or wether the usual cours ld e wou fol lowed on the occa,irm. Sir R PEEL said be should be the first to hbe) the rules of the House, and in pr,senting tic petition of which ho had riven notice, he should nut co-ceive himself en t tied to depart from the usual course. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Sir J. GRAHAM rose and said that as these was then no particular business before the House, he wished to call their attention to a m.stter personal to hini,;clf. He was very unwilling to do so, or to be obliged t o uotice anony mous assertions vi hich respected him individually, hu.. ever unfounded ti0?„,37 might be. He thought, however, that the conduct of ML.rnt,t., in their capacity of Mete bets, of maki ng a was a matter which cool). not be indill..rent to the ILuse at large. It had b, en a sserted iii the Morn. ing Chronicle of yesterdly , t hat on Tuf'dlq last , h e (Sir J. Graham) h ad stationed himself in the 'obby, and there endeavoured to prevent the Mem bers f rom coming into the House , for the purpo s e and bef ore 4 o'clocL, the Speaker sent a messenger to !louse. It was well k nown that after pr,) era all of the Committees,' giving Otero notice to attend i n the House for th e p u rpose of making 4 i - 10.'4.7 0 ; and he ( Sir J . Graham) conceived that any Member clisobeyirg that order, an d en d eavour ing to obstruc t Members fro mi entering the H ouse ac t e d in a ninnner alto g ether Lamar liamentary.—( Hear.) As related t o his own case, it so happened that on the day in question he wp.s in altentiance on the Committee o f th e Bonk Commission. lie had not immediately acyed the sutalions of the Speaker , hut at fur o'clock . he was proceeding from the Committee to th,..• House, R./40) I o was informed that the House had beer, counted out, a4ct , 4.iat, the Speaker had not, consequently, t taken the - CAr, and lie — then itisan , ly returned to the room which he Lad left. That was the entire history of the e!e. :,,,a F should not have noticed the s:.bject if the .IZeroing Ciao/tide ni to.d.-:y had not made a statement o inch tie c,ineeo,cd to be au aggravation of its first ass, mon. It. was said that it was true be ( Sur J. Graham) lAa., nut in the lobby on the day in question, when the House pr,ce,ded to prayers, but that there was an equivo cation in that denial, inasmuch as he had previously taken means for preventing a House being formed. He need not say that such conduct on his part would have been highly ? unbecoming, and in the most positive manner he should be permitted to deny--( Hear, hear, hear)—that either directly or indirectly he had prevented any Member from attending the House...._.( Hear, hear.) Mr. WARBURTON said that, as a Member of the Committee, he could confirm the statement of his Right Hori. Friend. Sir CHARLES BURRELL thought that the repe. tition of the charge should . not be passed over by the House without some animadversion. VACCINATION BILL. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the report oa this Bill was brought up. Mr. GOULBURN wished to know whether, as it had been stated, that Foreign States had enacted laws prohibiting inoculation, any means would be taken by the Government of discovering what these laws were. Mr. LABOUCH ERE said he would make inquiry on the subject. He had little doubt the object would be attained. TIMBER DUTIES BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER the House went into Committee on this Bill. CANADA GOVERNMENT BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL having moved the third reading of this Bill, said, he had considered the pro posals made, and he had resolved to adopt the recommen dation of the Right Hon. Bart, the Member for Tamwmth, that the debts contracted by the province should not form a charge upon the consolidated revenue before the civil charges. He would not adopt the Right Hon. Baronet's advice to the representative body. Then his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Coventry had advised the ornis. sion of all the clauses as to district councils. Upon the whole, as there were so many objections, he proposed to leave out the clauses giving extensive powers to the councils. He was most anxious that the Bill should pass with every possible unanimity.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) If anything should be lost by the omission of the clauses in p.,int of advantage to the Provinces, he thought infinitely mere would be gained by the general agreement of the House to the Bill in the shape he now proposed it. Mr. ItUQE wag sorry to have heard the sp tech of the NAL:. Lord, because much that was good in the Bill was now, it appeared, to be Ulcer' out, and the p. eple were to be altogether deprived of the selt-ge‘ernment of their own resources. The Noble Lord would lied that he would not arry the opinions of the purple of Canada with him. He knew how useless it ,A its to off, r any opposition to a proposition from the Go. ve:nmcnt connected with the Colonies, whatever it might he ; but by must enter his protest against the course pursued by the Noble Lord, because it would leave the Canadas without these district. and local Courts to manage their af. faers . until the Assembly should have time to make same ar rangement. He begged to enter his protest against the partial dc struetiun of the little that was useful in the Bill —( A laugh,) He thought a general amnesty should be passed before the Bill of the Noble Lord was adopted by the House. He wished to ask the Noble Lord whether the Habeas Corpus were still suspended in Canada ? Lord J. RUSSELL said in answer to the question of the Hon. Member, that as regarded the suspension of the Habeas Corpus, he believed that, according to the last accounts, that suspension continued still. Sir C. GREY hoped that the Hon. Member for Kil kenny, would not press his objections to the establishment of Councils. Sir ROBERT PEEL said that he approved of the main provisions of the Bill of the Noble Lord. He thought that the establishment of the Civil List was one of the best provisions of the measure. He did not mean to imply any opinion adverse to the prin ciple of local authorities, fur he could easily believe that great good could accrue from the establishment of such local authorities, under whatever name they might be called, having the power of taxation for local objects, but at the sane time ho thought it would be better to leave the constitution of such authorities to the local legislature. He thought it was a great experiment they were about to make, and one of doubtful issue. He somewhat doubted the policy of establishhig the district council simultane ously with the new legislature, and thought it would be better deferred until they should be able to decide what its powers should be, and how defined. On these grounds, therefore, be concurred with the Noble Lord as to the policy of omitting these clauses from the Bill. The despatches confirmed his intention to support the Bill. The papers also went to show that this was the most proper and favourable crisis for the union of the provinces. He could not conclude without the most cordial prayer that the measure would promote the interests of this co lony, as dear to the Imperial Parliament as any portion of our empire.—(Cheers.) Sir T. COCHRANE thought, on the discussion that had taken place on this subject, too little attention had been paid to the extent of the colonies ; and he was afraid, let the seal of Government be placed where it would, the ef fect of this measure would be not to secure good govern ment to Canada. He thought the Bill would be the vir tual declaration of the independence of Canada.—( Hear, hear.) He looked forward. to the joining of ihe provinces With great apprehension and dismay before they were pre pared for it, and especially when it was . considered that ,that union bid been forced on by the action* of Democrats. Tbli measure would abOrtly be discussed in another place, and he hoped, with that absence of party feeling with which it:intd been discussed in 'hat House.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped as the 'wives were of one common stock, so they would long continue tolhave one common interest.— ( Hear, hear. ) Mr. HUME sail, having stated his objections to eithdrawo g what he consi..ered to be one of the be:st parts of the Bill, he should record that objection by teking a division of the House. He thought this should n t have been done, and particularly witmeut no nce. He wished to ask, until these district councils were funned, ii. %hat manner the affairs of the country wr re to be colainc,ed? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, entertaining still the same opinion as to the district councils, he nevertheless thought it Letter to leave the whole government to the Legi,ilature. Mr. HUME said, Drier the explanation of tLe N.ble Lord. he should not divide the House. The Bill was then read a third timo and passed. POOR-LAW 13LL. Sir E. KNATCHBULL asked the Noble Lord (J. Russell) when he meant to bring forward the second re: ding of the Poor-law Amendment Bill? Lord J. RUSSELL—Certainly pot until after the Irish Registration 13111.—(Loud Laughter.) In answer to a further question, the Noble Lord said that if he were unable to carry the Poor-law Amendment Bill during the present Session, he proposed continuing the Poor-law Commission another year. POLICE RATES ASSESSMENT BILL. On the motion to go into Committee on this Bill, Sir P.,. W ILMOT begged to call the attention of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) to the expense thrown upon certain rural districts in Warwickshire, in consequence of the late riots at Birmingham, and to ask whether it was his intention to introduce any remedial provision into this Bill on the subject ? Lord J. RUSSELL admitted that there was some hard ship in the case, but could not say it was the intention of the Government to introduce any provision of the kind re. ferred to in the Bill. Sir R. PEEL thought the present system operated very unfairly on the rural districts, and that some remedy should be devised. Mr. HUME was one who wished to see the rural dis tricts entirely separated from the towns. He also wished to ask the Attorney-General when there would be a de cision as to the validity of the acts of the Birmingham Corporation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there was a cause now pending, and be had no doubt there would be a deci sion confirming the validity of these acts. The House then went into Committee, and the several clauses were agreed to without material alteration. Mr. FOX MAULE proposed clauses to limit the rate to sixpence in the pound, and to continue the Act for one sear, which was agreed to. Several other clauses were brought up, and added to the Bill. The Report was ordered to be brought up tomorrow, and the House resumed. COUNTY CONSTABULARY BILL. Mr. F. MAULE moved the further consideration of the Report of the Committee on this Bill, when Mr. HODGES presented a petition from Sussex against it. Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought the Bill would entail an expense on the counties, which could be appre ciated only by a few persons. He blamed the Govern ment for not having brought the Bill under the considera tion of the House of Cornmons at an earlier period. -He bought the whole question of rural police should be re considered, with a view to the producing some satisfactory measure on the subject.— ( Hear, hear.) The Bill went to establish a military force in the country, and to place that force under the control of the Govern. ment; and he could not but object to such a measure. The expense which it would entail on the counties was another reason why he could not give it his approval. The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving that the Bill should be referred to a Select. Committee. Mr. RICE supported the niotion for tlr , re-committal of Ow Bill. The measure would not, he was persuaded, be attended with the expense to the counties which the Right lion. Baronet the Member for East Kent seemed to apprehend. Mr. I3ENETT was opposed to the Bill, and he thought that the state of the country did nut render its enactment necessary. If they were to have a rural police at all, they should, in his opinion. place it under a central control, end its expenses ought be paid out of the general fonds °I the country. Mr. GALCYIiNIGHT hoped the House would not keep the country in suspense any longer. Many counties had not adopt( d the system in consequence of toe several systems that had been proposed by various Members. Mr. L. BRUGES was in favour of the measure gene rally, but thought that the compulsory adoption of it would by attended with much inconvenience to many counties. Mr. HALFORD rose to support the amendment. He thought the measure should be more maturely di scussed, as it affect e d so man y i m portant relations of society, H e could not see how Hon. Gentlemen could reconcil e t h e present measure w i t h th e ir ideas of liberty and f ree d om. He thought it wgs the duty of Conservatism to protect the liberty of the subject. The PelintY tR whipl 414elPlIged viere among the first to adopt the e proposition, but they had done s o un d er a wrong impression. Hon. Gentlemen sa id the increased demoralization o f the veople re qu i re d new l alit. r.igulations Why, that was inconsistent with the cry fcr new franchise. Now It was said the o:d parochial constables were grown inefficient—he thought th at was a proof of the innocence and simplicity of the inhabitants. People comp! hied of Ow ontel;rl emHahles ; he f.,r one timuvht flat t%.• urpid 11,g:z!,.recy . w:Is eiltit;ed to as much blame, but still he was not prepari d to Dive up the unpaid M!!gistr,!ci!. Mr. FLUME considered that one of the best means of preserving I;berty was to preserve peace, and to that end establish an effective police force. He thought more power ought to be given to rate-payers in a measure of this description, and he was of opinion, also, that there ought to be more liberal grants for education, for that alone could prevent the increase of crime. Those Hon. Gentlemen who opposed the Corn-laws compelled the Go vernment to propose an increase in the police force. Lord G. SOMERSET ,was in favour of the amend ment, but he would not vote for it if he thought it would defeat the measure. Mr. F. M A ULE believed the effect of the amendment would be to defeat the measure. If there was any sub stantial reason to postpone the measure, he would give it his best consideration. Any amendments might be considered in Committee on the Bill. He thought the fairest way to deal with this question would be to allow the Bill to go into Committee, in order that the clause might be discussed seriatim ; and if the House adopted that course, he should be ready to attend to any suggestions that Hon. Members might make. Mr. DARBY supported the motion of his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Kent for referring the Bill to a Select Committee, considering the objections were so nu merous that they could not be properly considered unless a Select Committee was appointed. Mr. HODGES defended the Bill. He thought refer ing it to a Select Committee would subject it to uneeces. sary delay. After a few words from Mr. PLUMPTRE, the House divided; when there appe:red— For the original motion For the amendment ... Majority for the original Motion —66 On our admission into the gallery, we found Mr. G. KNIGHT on his legs, suggesting that a sum of money should be taken out of the consolidated fund towards the expense of the constabulary. As the public generally were interested in the suppression of crime, he wished to know whether the Government would agree to that ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the Government would act upon the Report of the Commissioners. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On clause 1 being put, which gave the power to Jus tices of the Peace to increase the number of police, Mr. DARBY and Mr. HUME objected to the clause. Sir ROBERT PEEL supported the Clause as it only applied to those counties which were willing to accept the Bill. He thought it would be an improvement to allow ural parishes to juin together fur the payment of their constables. Mr. LUDLOW BRUGES moved at line 12, after the word "increase," to oint all the words to the end of the clause, and substitute the following words, namely, " or reduce the number of' constables for their county so that the number of such constables shall not exceed at any time the proportion of one constable for every thousand of the inhabitants, according to the last census." Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet worthy of the cons - deratton of the House. Dr. NICHOLL thought that some parts of the amendment of his Hon. Friend were totally unnecessary, especially that part of it which was to give the power of reducing the number of police. Mr. F. M AUL E would consider the suggestion that had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet, and see if he could introduce it in the Bill; but as to the amendment proposed, if it was persisted in, he should propose to leave out the clause and proceed with the other parts of the Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET thought there should be a power given to the Magistrates to reduce the number of the police when counties were in a state not to require them. After a few observations from Mr. D kRBY, Mr. HUME said he entirely concurred in what bad fallen from the Right Hon Baronet. They might have had a very effective police establishment without the ex pease that would be created by the present Bill to the rate payers. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the efficiency and vigour of the police in a great measure depended upon their being so organized, as to have no connection with the place to which they were sent. If power was given to the rate-payers to choose their constables, and these con stables were to reside permanently in the parish, he would be afraid, however efficient they might be at first, that that efficiency would soon become very much diminished, and that although they would have a tolerable acquaint ance with the different persons in the neighbourhood, yet that in a few years their vigour and energy to put down depredations would be very much wanting. Sir R. PEEL thought that small rural districts ought to have its own police under its own superintendence, be cause, where a county was divided into districts, a portion of that district might contain a great many towns, such as the iron districts for instance, and the rural districts might have a very good objection to a rate which they might conceive was heavier than it would be if they formed a dis trict of themselves. Sir H. VERNEY was of opinion there ought to be a centralised plan wider an efficient head, and that that bead should be responsible to the Government. After some further conversation, in which Major Wood, Colonel Sibthorpe, Lord Ingestrie, Dr. Nichol!, and Mr. Slaney took part, the amew'ment was negatived without a division, and ti e claus e wa s a gr ee d t o . - On clause 2 being proposed, which provided exemption from tolls, - Mr. EGERTON said the clause was perfectly novel, and li e did not un d ers tand upon what prinCiple it had been introduced. Mr. FOX AIAULE replied that it had been taken from the Irish Bill, bet the provision would only apply to police on duty. Mr. EGERTON observed that there were scarcely any turnpikes iti Ireland ten mileS out of Du'nliii.—(Laughter.) The chose, however, eas ape( d to, as ens else the next clause. On clause 4 being put, Mr. BLACKBURN moved an addition to it, by which towns with 10,000 iteatbitants, and having a Local Act, should be exempted from the operation of the Act. Mr. FIT ZROY supported the amendment. Mr. FOX MAULE opposed it. The clause was finally ordered to stand part of' the Bill. The remaining clauses up to 10 were then agreed to, without any discussion. On clause 11 being put, Mr. HUME objected to the principle of the clause, l i Which provided pensions for superannuated members of the police force. General JOHNSTONE also objected to the clause, and expressed his determination to divide the Committee on it. Mr. WYNNE supported the clause, on the ground that he bad often known parties continued in the police force under the present system, who were totally unfitted to discharge its duties. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were— For the clause Against the clause Majority The clause was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clauses 12 and 13, as amended, were afterwards agreed to. Clause 14 was agreed to without any amendments. Clause 15 was agreed to with a few verbal amendments. Clause 16 was also agreed to. On clause 17 being put, Mr. PEA SE proposed, as an amendment, to insert the words, " as the said Judges shall see fit." A desultory discussion ensued, which terminated in strangers being ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, as Mr. Pease did not press his amendment. The clause was then agreed to, as were clauses up to 20, with a few verbal amendments. Then CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. RATING STOCK IN TRADE. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, leave was .given to bring in a Bill to exempt stock in trade, and other personal property, from being liable to be reted to the relief of the poor. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, I and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One. SCOTCH CHURCH BILL. MINORITY in the HOUSE of LORDS on MONDAY NIGHT.

Ir'',l) tTtON. SPORIING INTELLIGEIN'Cb' ASCOT-HEATH RACES-THURSDAY, The Cup-day here is nearly as attractive to the public, nod as profitable to the lieges of Windsor, as the famed Derby-day at Epsom ;it does cot depend solely on the ri.u'er or, in fact, on any individual feature, for it is alike re markable for the aristocratic character of the company. the superior quality of the sport generally, and the eclat thrown over the vr hole by the presence of the Sovereign. This ob servation is applicable to the proceedings yesterday quite as fully as on some former occasions, for it cannot be denied that, notwithstanding the rain on Wednesday, and 'the threatening aspect of the sky in the morning, it was " grand day" in every respect. We stated in our report of the first day's races that several parties were domicile - dat Windsor for the meeting ; in the course of WedoesdaY there was a fresh influx, and the inhabitants were not backward it turning it to account. The railway, however, has sadly diminished this source of emolument, as the metropolitans now have it in their power to start and =e• turn at-a reasonable hour, and therelote avoid the heavy expenses of hotels or lodgings in the neighbourhood ofsbe race-course. We -may state here that the Directors of the Great Western Railway have as yet shown none of-that liberal spirit which their brethren of the South-western have displayed; they have ruined the postmasters, Who gave a plate ; they have materially affected the resources of the inhabitants of Windsor, and they have not contri buted a shilling to a meeting, from which they have de rived immense sums. Many Noble and distinguished p:rsons arrived at "the Cetstle on Wednesday, and nearly every seat in the vicinity of the Heath was full of company ; in all quarters, in abort, the evidence of a brilliant and successful day were conspi cuous. The weather in the early part of the morning was indicative of a showery day ; the sky was occasionally over cast, the glass was down, and the wind " blew like rain the sun, however, thrust through all, and long before the fir-t watery visitation the mob was fairly under way. At Paddington the push for the different ti sins was tremendous, and extensive as were the prep trations, they were barely adequate ; at Slough, a similar scene of confusion presented itself—the arrival of every train was followed by a race for the omnibusscs, and those who obtained places, no matter at what cost, had reason to congratulate themselves; itn niense numbers, however, had no alternative but to walk, and many never reached the course at all. The "rail" did not monopolize all the traffic; every coach and i• bus," from Piccadilly was freighted to an extent lous to the passengers, and post horses, for want of a suffi cient supply (thanks to steam) were put on double duty. To make things worse, or better, as the taste of our rea ders may decide, the dust, not svii hstanding a few showers, flew in clouds, and the road in one or two places became almost as difficult to thread as the streets of London in a November fog. With this agreeable tax on patience - ind apparel, the majority reached the junction of the roads near the heath, and then the scen e b e c ame " t e rrifically grand ;" how many rosva took place, and how many panels were smashed during the day, we had not time to count, but there were enough of the first to keep the county Magistrates in play for a week, and to find emplo.Y meat for the coaehmakers for at least double thst period. By one o'clock the thousands who had "gone through 50 much to obtain so little" were safely deposited on the heath, which, with the aid of the Maidenhead, Oakinghetet and Bagshot detachments, was 5) thronged as to put Cone.. fart out of the question; however it might have gratified the lovers of a squeeze. The carriage inclosure was full, and every nook and corner in the temporary and 6 16 betting stands from which a g li m p se o f t h e p roc ession was tainable, secured at whatever price the different " lessees " thought proper to put on theta. The Grand Stand exhibited all the outw ar d an d v i s ibl e " s i gns " 0 1, prosperity, and its internal symptoms were not less satis factory ; it was certainly more numerously attended. than in 1839. It is almost needless to add, that in so vast ee assemblage, pins, purses, and pocket-handkerchiefs were abstracted in all directions ; this was the only stibjed of complaint, for the course was admirably .k e p t throughout. Precisely at one o'clock the Royal procesaion appeare d on the course, and it consisted of ten carriages and feet' and a phaeton, headed by Lord Kinnaird, Mr. Davis, the huntsman, and the usual outriders, &c. It proceeded etl slow pace up the new mile, but so dense was the eroW e that it was at least a quarter of an hour before. .it reached the Queen's stand. I n th e fi rst carriage we!* her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and bid Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen ; in the second. the Duchess of Beaufort , Marchioness of NorrnanbY. Mons.

Mr. Anson, and Mr. Seymour; and in the phaeton,. Lord Clarence Paget, and Sir F. Stavin ; Colonels C.a. vendish, Cornwall, Lord Alfred Paget, and one or two others on horseback. The public feeling towards our gra.. cious Queen and her Consort has of late been so stror,gly displayed that it would be supeifluous to diell on ; I nc ne• tore of her reception ; we can only Say that in _Pro gress up the course their appearance at the windose pf the stand, and frequently afterwards, the ebteting was general and enthusiastic. Her Majesty,. on . quitting the heath after the Grand Stand Plate, was greeted with sit:niter rite nifestations of attachment.
