Ei/? LU+ LONDON: TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1840 The House of Lords met yesterday only to re c,ive petitions and transact some routine business. Lord LYNDHURST atmeunced his intention of moving to-day for the correspondence between Mr. r;PGlttectatt and Lord PALMERSTON relative to Naples. Their Lordships immediately adjourned. In the Commons a ccnsiderable number of peti tions was, as usul!, presented ; several of them were for, and several against, Lord STANLEY'S Bill. Onc from an aggregate meeting of Connaught, presented 1.. y Lord STANLEY, gave rise to a little dispute as to its value ; and another presented by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, from a Roman Catholic Gentleman of Roscommon, was remnrkable for the manner in which it denounced the present system. Captain PECHELL gave notice of a motion to exempt furnished houses from the increased window tax, which will fall heavily on the lodging-house keepers of Brighton. Mr. WALLACE inquired whether Spain had not passed a tariff injurious to Newfoundland. Mr. LABOUCHEItE answered that the Report of the Spanish Commission appointed to inquire into the subject had not been received. Sir R. INGLIs is to state this day the precise crms of his motion for Church Fxtension. In reply to Mr. MACKINNON, Mr. LABOU CHIME stated that he should be very desirous of bringing in a reasonable Pilotaqe Bill if he saw a prospect of the House of Commons passing it. Lord STANLEY moved that the Irish Registra tion Bill be committed. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE moved that it be committed in six months. A debate on this sub ject followed, which occupied the House the whole evening. Mr. J. GRATTAN, Dr. LEFROY, Lord CLEMENTS, Sir ROBERT BATESON, Mr. LYNCH, and Mr. LITTON, were the speakers in the early part of the evening. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who rose at a later period, spoke strongly against the Bill, as a violent invasion of the Reform Act ; and made a vigorous ar,cl able speech to expose its tendency. Lord STANLEY defended his Bill in an ani mated manner, disclaimed the motives attributed to him, and declared that he was not invading, but completing, the Reform Bill. At the close of the Noble Lord's speech, which wa shall not now further analyse, Major MActia- Ma RA moved the adjournment of the debate. There seemed a disposition to agree to this, on the under standing that the debate should proceed to-morrow ; but Mr. OCoNNELL declined to facilitate the pro gress of this bygiving way, and the House divided on the question that the debate be adjourned, which was lost by 281 to 262. Mr. CeCONNELL then mo,•ed that the House do adjourn. This motion was ipposed by some of his ' own friends, but Lord HOWICK having expressed a desire to take part in the debate, and several other Members wishing to speak, it was finally arranged that the debate should be adjourned to this day, which it accordingly was, and that no opposition should be offered to Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion for some returns, which he would not waive to proceed with the debate the first thing. At a Quarter past One o'Clock the House Adjourned. It is plain from the remarks of the Tory Press that Lord STANLEY'S Bill is directed against Mr. O'CONNELL. The Times, Standard, and Post, all howled in concert yesterday against that gentleman. We take an example from the Standard : " We cannot therefore wonder at the alternate rage and apprehension with which Mr. O'Connell and his proteges regard it" [Lord Stanley's Bill]. " The grotesque contortions which he has aleady exhi bited whenever he has ventured to dwell upon the subject, afford satisfactory evidence of his conviction that the " rent" is in jeopardy. His renewed howl for repeal, with a subscription of a shilling a head from 2,000,000, proves that he is aware that the staple of his trade is slipping through his fingers; and if he can no longer enjoy an im punity in fraud, what is to become of her Majesty's Mi nisters ?" To O'CoNNELL the Times adds the Romish priests, and declares that it is from their monster power that Lord STANLEY strives to save the people of Ireland and the imperial crown. Again, therefore, under the auspices of Lord STANLEY, legislation is to he directed against a class, and against an individual. The Clare Election and the Emancipation Act have been thrown away on the Tories. In 1829 the House legislated against Mr. O'CoNNELL, and was de feated ; it may possibly succeed now, though we hardly think it will. But what will it gain ? Dis grace ; nothing but disgrace. The very idea of the Legislature of this great empire framing and directing laws against an individual, is a degra dation which no Legislature will long survive. This Registration Bill, and the whole of the proceed ings with regard to it, are a mere contest between two factions which shall have political power ; and my Lord STANLEY does not add to the respecta bility of the House of Commons, by making it the arena of such a conflict. Last night Lord JOHN RUSSELL was asked when he means to bring totward the Canada Union Bill, and he said Friday se'nnight. That Bill was the great legislative object of the Session, and to find it only about to go into Committee at the beginning of June, shows how completely the time of the Legislature has been sacrificed to those party squabbles—those contentions for political power, of which the Irish Registration Bill is one. We know quite well that we shall preach in vain to Lord STANLEY and the greedy, insatiate crew who follow him. But we shall not remark in vain to a public already little disposed to respect the House, and sharply watching all its proceedings, that this body, which is so careless of legislation and so intent on party strife, is the great author of all our laws. We now see them growing as it were, not from any calm and deliheratlgisdom— not from any slowly formed and mature judgment, deciding that they are for the good of the whole community, but from the passionate contentions of of angry, empty brawlers..We see one man, under the influence of a feeling of personal hatred or of bigoted attachment to some narrow sectarian creed, pro posing a Bill which is to extend over the whole community, and to last to all time—we see him connecting it with the interests of a party thirsting for office, and if he can cajole some, thrcaien others, and terrify more, he will get his Bill passed into a law, and future generations will be called on to obey and reverence the spawn of his bigotry or i his malice. But what we now daily sac—for Lord STANLEY is not worse than his predecessors on the floor of the House of Commons, and ou - so-called Legislature has always consisted of political eladiators—is only a repetition of what has before occurred ; and the very laws which we are called on to reverence, though they take away our bread, or consign as to a dungeon, or pro!) ihit us from honestly expressing the sentiments of our hea;ts and the convictions of our minds, like Lord STA N LEY'S • Registration Bill, were in their time the offspring of personal malice, private interests, or sectarian bigotry. That is the spectacle which the Conservative Lord STANLEY is now making familiar to the nation, and that is the conclusion he is forcing on millions al ready discontented with the law, and desirous, if not resolved, when an opportunity offers, to over throw it. We have of late taken but little part in the angry and magniloquent pleadings which have been car ried on in the press concerning this Bill, because we care little for party contentions. The community is wholly disregarded in these contests for political power. It may be of great importance to Lord STANLEYancI to Lord JOHN R USS EL L which holds office, but the public see with displeasure the Le gislature wholly taken up with party squabbles. Whoever may succeed, that will be degraded ; and it is doubtful whether the Bill, should it become a law, will correspond in its effects either to the fears of its opponents, or the hopes of friends. Its im portance, in a public point of view, is enhanced in the minds of those who discuss it by the great in terests which they suppose they hare at stake. We do not believe if it were passed to-morrow, however much it might annoy individuals, that it would abate the power of the Catholic priests one jot. Their's is a real, substantial, mental power It does not depend on parchment statutes. The Legislature does not grant it, and cannot take it away. It could not deprive the Catholic priests of power when it passed laws tenfold more restrictive than Lord STANLEY'S Bill, and when the Protestant Church and the Tories were in all their vigour. The priests will find some means, Lord STANLEY may rest as sured—having the power—to exercise it ; and his miserable indulgence of party and personal spleen, which degrades the Legislature, will not enable him to upset the influence of the Catholic priest hood and of Mr. O'CONNELL. They will, by some kind of smuggling, or chicanery, or violence—and all are justifiable against such cunning, unrelenting ty rants as Lord STANLEY and the Tories, who use the forms of law to accomplish the most refined ty ranny, and gratify their own savage lust of power— they will succeed under his:Registration'Bill as under the old law. He will but sharpen their wits, and augment their appetite. In vain, therefore, he is throwing the empire into confusion ; in vain he is preparing the way for convulsions and revolution ; in vain he degrades the House of Com mons by makin g it the instrument of his party pur poses or his bad passions ; he will be unable, by any law he can pass, to deprive Mr. O'CONNELL and the Catholic priests of the substantial power which they possess. The Times, the Post, and the Standard, may howl in concert to aid Lord STANLEY —they never will put an end to the / river they object to, but by allowing the people to enlighten themselves , and by actin g toward s t h em with kindness and justice. To build up pries to put tcraft in England is never th e way down priestcraft in Ireland. As there are to be more trials like that of Mr. CLEAVE, a few more observations tending to ana. lyse the imputed offence, may not be misplaced. A kw weeks ago most of the Tory Journals were loud in their condemnation of the House of Corn-. mons for claiming a power to libel Mr. STOCK DALE, and any other persons the House might think ' proper to libel. A man's character, it was said, ought not to be taken away, nor his fortune ruined, by the calumnies of an irresponsible body, They insisted on making the House of Commons respon sEvie to the law for injuring the character of Mr. STOCKDALE. The gist of their remarks, all the uproar they made, centered in this, that the libels of the House of Commons inflicted, or might inflkt, an injury on individuals. A similar fact may be traced in most other libels, private and public. An individual, in most cases, like Mr. STOCKDALE, pleads for special damages, or, like Sir JOHN CON ROY, by criminal information, proves both malice and injury, and procures a punishment on the of fender proportionate to the offence. In the case of public or seditious libels, if no Minister or Officer of the Government be specifically injured, it is proved, or attempted to be proved, that the authority of the Government is weakened, it is implied that this au thority is essential to the security of the many, and it is concluded that the many, or the community, is injured by the seditious libel, which is therefore liable to punishment. Not supposing that all which the lawyers call seditious libels are really at tended with these consequences, we only affirm that such is the train of reasoning which traces injury to the community from them, and classes them as deserving punishment. The element of offence, therefore, both in public and private libels is da mage to individuals. Now who is injured by what is called a blasphemous libel ? The prosecution is instituted in the name of the Government. Is the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL injured by it ? Is Lord MEL SOHRNE ? Is her MAJESTY ? We have, fortu nately, not yet so far imitated the despotisms of the Continent as to have a minister of religion, or perhaps he might be the injured party. The functions of that officer, so far as they are performed at all here, fall to be fulfilled by the Home Secre tary. Is Lord NORMANBY ) then, seriously hurt by Mr. HASLEM'S "Eighth Letter ?" We answer no, and a so-called blasphemous libel is wholly deficient in that element of offence in private libels, the inflicting of damage on an individual. But it may be said that, like a seditious libel, it inflicts injury on the community. But the mode in which a seditious libel injures the community is by weakening authority; and what authority is weak ened by a blasphemous libel ? Is that of the AL MIGHTY? Ridiculous and absurd. The wisest of men has has taught us that we can only conquer Nature by observing her laws, and to fly in her face, or to fly in the face of the ALMIGHTY—if we may so express ourselves—is utter annihi!ation. Those men must have a most degrading notion of almighty power, who suppose that He whose hand holds uncounted worlds can be af fected by the fLeting breath, or stamped words, of one Mr. HASLEM. But he tray weaken the authority of the Bible, and weaken the authority of the priests. That is, in fact, the offence. Then it follows that the law is required to uphold the authority of the Bible and the authority of the priesthood, and they are not sufficient to stand alone. It is implied that this book, which is said to be divine, which is to subdue the hearts of savages, and prepare them for civilization, which is given to mankind by the Deity as a guide and teacher ; and that this priest hood, who derive their power from that book, are really so feeble and so false that they arc unable to resist the poor attack , ; and weak tirades of Mr. HASLEM. Government is of human origin, and punishment is devised to support its auth or ity ; b u t the Bible is of divine origin, the priesthood claim their power from it, and to ask for it the support of the punishment of the law, is to degrade it below a poor and very imperfect human invention. It may perhaps be said that the community is injured by an attack on opinions prevalent in it. It that be a good ground for inflicting punishment on a writer, every philosopher who makes an impor tant discovery deserves punishment, and GALILEO was justly condemned as well as CLEAVE. This, however, is punishment or persecution for opinion, which is now universally reprobated. Who shall judge, too, of the validity of opinion ? What truth, however prevalent at one time, has not been generally questioned or denied at an other ? Changes, in opinion have con tinually occurred on matters of religion, on matters of government, on morality, oa conduct, and on all the most important interests of man kind ; and to make the authors of such changes liable to penalties and punishment,. is arrogantly and self-sufficiently to inflict gratuitous pain on others. Nobody can tell what opinions may be popular and prevalent a few years hence, and to punish opinion i 5 to give a licence to those who differ from us to punish us when they have the power. Up to the time of the French Revolution pro , secutions and punishments for matt•;rs o. opinion were common in France. There, as here now, the formalities of religion were substituted for its essentials. There was much worship and little piety. Churches abounded, and were maenifi ccntly adorned. Holidays were numerous, and rigidly observed as the Sabbath with . us. The bulk of the community, like our agricultural labourers, whose families live on 2id. a•dav per head, or like the stocking •weavers at Tewkesbury, who earn 3s. nid. per week, were crushed into the most abject poverty. The priesthood, like our priesthood, taught the virtues of poverty, and revelled in wealth. The nobility and the Govern ment preached justice and committed oppression. The press fanned the passions or enforced the opi nions of the Court or the populace, as it was en gaged on one side or the other. The Government and the law were contemned, and the Revo lution came. When the populace got power, and drowned the priests and beheaded the nobility, they only imitated the example of their ancient oppressors, and p un i s h e d them for entertaining obnoxions aristocratic or ' priestly opinions. They carried out the principles and practices of their teachers, boasted of their huma nity, and sent the innocent to the scaffold—ex ulted at their loge of justice, and condemned men to death on a suspicion of being sus pected. Such outrages are, we believe, the ne• cessary and natural consequence of a perversion of religion and government, such as prevailed in France before the Revolution, and such as seems now to prevail amongst us. If, in the changes to which society is doomed, the now oppressed and insulted masses should ever get the upper hand nere, a similar proscription of those who are now proscribing and punishing their poli tical and religious opinions may be expected. What right will they have to complain if the dishonest oppression they are now exercising on others shall hereafter be exercised on themselves ? We learn from the Paris Journals of Sunday that M.M. TRIERS and DE REMUSAT were forced to admit on Saturday, in the Chamber of Deputies, that the Government had purchased the support of two Journals, and the merging, or, more properly, suppression of two others, which at the outset had appeared hostile to M. THIERS and his colleagues. One of the editors of the Presse, and by far the most formidable, the Nlinistry got rid of by giving him a lucrative appointment in the Colo nies, although it was pretended by them that he sought the appointment, to which he had just claims of aspiring. The venal character of the the French Press is well known, but surely nothing can be more disgraceful in a Mini.ver than thus to plunge it still deeper in the mire of v ena lity. Wh en left to itself the daily Press of every country must become either the honest echo of the public opinion of the class to which it looks for support, or it must perish. It thus discharges the important function of an interpreter of the wishes of the party it represents to the Government, and in its severest strictures on public men, the most ardent and most dangerous partisans read the expression of their own feelings and convictions, and in a harmless fit of momentary triumph at being so well represented, allow their angry feelings to evaporate. Nay, they sometimes pity their political adver saries for being exposed to such broadsides of ar gument—such showers of arrows from the quivers of wit, raillery, and sarcasm. But it is quite a different matter when a Minister, only allowing the echo of his own voice to be heard, stifles the honest expression of public opinion ; thus forcing the feelings which gave it birth into some more dangerous channel. In such a case not only is the morality of the press destroyed, and doubts I raised of the very existence of public virtue in the minds of the multitude, but its legitimate influence is lost, and it becomes the bane of the society for Which it was destined to be the blessing. But a monopoly 9f the Press is not enough of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 19. 1840. the French Government. The September laws .are still invoked to punish refractory Journalists. I Thus on Saturday M. DE LOSTANGUES, the managing editor of the Ro:,alist Quotidienne, was arrested to undergo the sentence of the Royal Court of Justice which dooms him to four months imprisonment, for the insertion of an article tending to excite hatred against the Government. We had expected for the press very different treatment at the hands of M. TRIERS and his colleagues. Weal --miserably weak, is the confession of that Go vernment which admits that it could be injured by the silly diatribes of the Quotidienne. The murderer ELICABIDE is stated in the Paris Journals to have been a man of ex em pl a ry charac ter up to the commission of the dreadful crimes for which his life stands forfeited. He is only twenty eight years of age, and resided for the last two or three years in Paris, where he supported himself by teaching young children. Before coming to Paris he had formed an illicit connexion with a young widow, with whom he lived as her husband, and who bore him the two children whom, with their wretched! mother, he so barbarously murdered. Unable to support herself and her children the woman sent the elder, a little boy, to his father in Paris. ELIC A BIDE met the boy at the place ap pointed, led him to a part of the city where he was not known, and murdered him in the manner de scribed in our columns yesterthy. Hardly had the poor wom an parted with the child when she found that she could not live without it, and accordingly wrote to the father that she would pro ceed with her other little one to Paris. He did all he could to dissuade her from coming, but finding her deiermin ed to come, he set out for Arriege, and there murder ed her and her other child, as already narrated in It is own words. It was not decided on Saturday whether ELICABIDE would be tried at Paris or at .. - Bordeaux, where he is now a prisoner. He has confeosed everything. Accounts front Monte Video announce that the French Admiral Dupotct, who lately arrived at Buenos Ayres, was negotiating in concert with the French and English Charges d'Affaite3, to effect a definitive arrangement of the differences betwn!en the two Governments. —Le Constitu tionnel. We have received advices from Alexandria of the 26th, from Contantinople of the 27th, and from Smyrna of the 29th ult. In the Echo de l' Orient we find the following important announcement, which, notwithstanding the authority upon which it is given, appears to us to require confirmation : TAURIS, MARCH 29.—An important event has just hap pened. The Rs ssian Ambassador has officially announced that the Czar's ti oops had entered Khiva, and that they had liberated 15,000 Persians in slavery, who would soon be restored to their homes. The great military movements of the Shah are now explained. This Prince, who kept up for a long time an active correspondence with the deposed Sovereign of Caboul. had engaged to establish him in ail his possessions as before British invasion, but it must be admitted that the present period is unfavourable to the pro ject from the deplorable situation of the country, no taxes being paid. The Russian Ambassador will soon go to Ssiraz, to come back by the Kurdistan; the French Envoy has stopped at Teheran; the French officers are still at Tauris, very discontented, and it is expected they will return to France. The Shah seems to avoid the French Ambassador, and the reception the latter met with at Teheran is such that 31. de Sercey has no great induce ment to remain in Persia. Our latest Yalta intelligence is of the 3lst n 1 The substance of it will be found in our Cii article. The letters from Constantinople state, that Lord PONSONBY has advised the Porte to make war upon the Viceroy, and leave the consequences to be settled by the Great Powers. Prince Henry of Orange was presented to the Sultan by Baron Testa, Ch*.rge d'Affaires of Holland, on the 25th ult., in the Imperial Palace of Tcheraghan. His Hiehness received the Prince with the utmost affability. The Echo de 1' Orient states that rumours were current in Smyrna on the 23d, of the Eurkidi population being disposed to risn against the Christians, but owing to the precautions of the authorities public tranquiility had not been disturbed. The French squadron was lying at anchor in the bay of Vourla. The British frigate Castor and the steamer Rhadaman thus had received orders ou the 28th, at Smyrna, by the Blazer steamer, from Malta, to sail immediately for the latter port. The Archduke Frederic of Austria arrived in the Guemere (Austrian frigate) at Smyrna on the 26th, from Syra. On the same day Constantine Musurus, re sident Turkish Minister in Gmece, arrived from Samos, on his way to his post. The Madrid Papers are of the 10th inst., bu they contain no news whatever.

At the expiration of that time the defendant served witness with notice of ejectusent, after which he took his sister and all the furniture in the house to his own house, where they continued to reside. Mrs. Tebbutt fell sick, and upon the defendant getting notice of it he went and demanded ac cess to her, which was accorded to him. He introduced another medical re an, but the lady died. The witness said the defendant ordcred the plaintiff to be sent for, and that everything for the funeral should be of the best. His sister made a will leavini r her property to her own family. The defendant watt not aware of that fact when he gave the order. He did not stop in witness's house after the death, but called sometimes and gave orders respecting the fune ral. He attended the funeral, and walked to witness's house from Islingt.on, although he had given orders for three mourning co aches. Witness was not aware that de fendant had ever employed the plaintiff before or since. Witness had employed him to conduct two other funerals. Mary Wools, a s ervant, formerly in the employ of the defendant, and who , left with Mrs. Tebbutt, and who was now in the employment of Mr. Ambler, deposed to the fact of the defendant giving orders respecting the funeral. Mr. PLATT, for the defendant, contended that all the his tinu friendance evidence in the case showed that th e credit was given to Mr. Amb'er, and n ot to him, And that it was merely a con tinuance Merrick, r f ri k ai I , y w f b eu o d a ! haenhdatdhat often hlr. e A rnk m pl b o l y e e r d, na t d o got The Jury found for the plaintiff for the damages claimed. •••••• THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

This department very flat, and the nearest price of P.Y.C. was 495. COLONIAL MARKET. Very little business done in any kind of produce, and prices without any important alteration. Of B. P. Sugar scarcely any offering, and prices were the same as last week. In Coffee very little done, and prices where altered were lower, but the holders generally were firm. 7,460 bags of Rice in common parcels of Java fetched about 7s. 6,200 bags Mauri tius Sugar sold at about 50s. for the bulk, which was of corn. ignon quality. 600 of Bengal at 50s. to 60s. TEA SALE—(SECOND DAY). The attendance was slender, and the biddings very dull ; prices much the same as they were, viz. Congou and Twankay at the prices of last sal e ; o ther kinds 21 per lb. lower. The last quotation of Company'll Conon was 2s. aid. per lb. SOCIETA ARMONIUA. The fourth of these concerts was given last night, com mencing with Beethoven's symphony, No. 5, in B The opening movement was well played, and the spiiir stiring allegro was loudly applauded. The adagio, how ever, had nearly met with a sed fate from the fault either of th^ leader or conductor. The band was quite abroad for several bars, but fortunately a recurrence to the theme put all to rights, and the symphony was saved. The over tures, Fidelio, Euryanthe, and Lodoiska, (Cherubiti.) were well played, and elicited just applause. M. Barret performed a solo on the oboe with great skill, and a Mr . Hayward was equally successful in a fantasia on the violin. The vocal part of the concert was enlivened by the ap pearance of a new singer, Madlle. Nau. We have nst for years heard so pleasing an exhibition from the French school as this ; her voice is a high soprano, she executes brilliantly, and sings with great expression and care. Her scans " En vain j'espere (Robert le Diable), was very beautiful ; also the aria " Cara Compagna," which was deservedly encored. Madlle. E. Grisi, and Sig. F. Lablacho, were among the vocalists. The committee of management could surely find some better music than the stuff Donizetti writes to come in contact with the works of Beethoven, Weber, and Chcrubini. The room was crowded.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have not received the Liverpool Cotton IVlarkc thin morning. The French Papers received this morning state the re port of a telegraphic despatch being received at the Tui leries, that General Rumigny, Aid-de-Camp to Louis Philip, in an engagement with the Arabs at Blidah, re ceived a ball in the middle of his face. We have received Pernambuco Papers to the 30th March. Exchange on London 33 to 34. . - -- We have received the M a lt a Ti mes to the 6:11 May, which describes the State of Sicily as on the verge ofanarchy. It is said that Syracuse and Messina appear as if in a state of siege, and Palermo offers the prospect of a desolate city. The Courts do not sit, and the employes of Govern ment have abandoned their posts. A sufficiency of bread was not found on the 16th. and the bakers were forced to work by the authorities. It also adds, the Sicilians expect from England all their happiness, and as they are all com promised, they would be satisfied if they could only be sure that Great Britain will cause the law of non-inter ference to be respected, since they scoff at the troops of the King of Naples, though always underarms; the po:ice show little activity. The officers, crew, and passengers, who landed from the Acheron steamer, having the plague on board, continued to enjoy perfect health at the Laza retto, and it is hoped that the prompt measures of precau tion which have been taken, and the accommodation af forded at the new hospital, will be the means, under Pro vidence, of arresting the further progress of the malady, which has been declared to be the plague by the unani mous opinions of several physicians. MINUTE E lIIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR. The Governor, with reference to his minute of yester day's date, has the satisfaction to notify that, having late last night received official intelligence that his Sicilian Majesty had directed the removal of the embargo laid on British vessels in the polls of Naples and Sicily, his Ex cellency has rescinded the order given yesterday for the detention in the harbours of this island of Neapolitan and Sicil;an vessels, and has directed the immediate release of all Neapolitan and Sicilian vessels whicia were detained here in pursuance of that order. By command of his Excellency, H. GREIG, Chief Secretary to Government. Palace, Valletta, April 30, 1840. Arrivals this morning—French mail, ship letters from Pernambuco, St. Thomas, Antigua, Valparaiso, and Lima. THE FUNDS.

At an early hour the Court and its appro'aches were rowded with persons, anxious to get a glimpse of Gould. The Bench was occupied by Mr. Hall, and other Mvis trates, among whom we observed Major Anderson, who appeared to take an interest in the proceedings. Mr. Hobler, jun., attended for the prosecution, and called Charles Allen—l live at Wilson's Cottage, Pocock's Fields, and am a shoemaker. I know the prisoner. He has resided at my house. I can hardly say how long, but 1 should think it is about a twelvemonth since I first saw him. He was at home part of the day on Sunday, March 16. He slept at my house that night. He went out early on the Monday morning, soon after breakfast, be tween eight and nine o'clock, I should think, but I am not certain. He did not breakfast with me. He was dressed in his usual dress, and had on a pair of heavy uncle shoes, clinked round the toes. He came home between the hours of two and three on Tuesday morning. It was after I heard the church clock strike two. I think 1 saw him come in. He was sober. I was lying in Led when I saw him. He went into his own bed-room. He could not do so without passing through mine. I saw nothing more of him until the next morning at eight o'clock. I saw him come out of his bed-room, and pass through ours. He went out into the wash-house. There is a privy adjoining it. He remained absent half anhour or twenty mi nutes. I saw him return. He had his old shoes on then. When he came out of the place they had been cleaned. He then left our house. I did not see him again until about a quarter past seven en Tuesday evening. I found him in my house. I had been out, and found him in my house on my return. My wife and the prisoner 'were conversing together about the murder of Mr. Templeman. The pri soner turned to me and said, Do you not think lie could have done it himself ? and I said, Richard, it is impos sible; how could he have tied his own hands. The p-i -soner was sitting at the table, and asked me to fetch a rasher of bacon for him, and I desired him to fetch it him self. He said, I knew the reason he did not wish to go out. The reason was there was an assault warrant out against him. He gave me Is., and I fetched him bacon, beer, and tobacco. In conversation afterwards he said he had been to Limehouse, Blackwell, and Wapping, and to Clapham, to see his aunt, who had given him some money. I discovered he had new shoes on. I showed them to my wife ; and the prisoner said, I have been to my cousin's, and he had a pair of shoes that would not fit him, he has given them to me, and I have jumped into them. I did not see any more money when he gave me the shilling. He said he had been at the Rainbow the night before, which he had left at twelve o'clock, and had met with some friends on the road, who had detained him. He went to bed at about ten minutes past nine that night in the same room he had slept the night before. I fastened his bed-room door, so that he could not get out through my room. I had missed a white handled knife chat day. It has been found in a cupboard in our house. I never put any money in the privy. Mr. HALL—The officers pointed out to you the place where tome money was found in a stocking. Were you there on the Monday or Wednesday ? Witness—Yes ;on the Monday. Mr. HALL—Did you see anything in that place, then? Witness—No, Sir. I believe I had a dark lanthoru on my premises. The lanthorn produced is mine. Mr. HALL—How do you know it is your's ? Wit ness—lt was my father's and mine for forty years. I am quite positive it is mine. I know it b 3 one of the corners of the horn being burned. I never burned a rush light in it. There is a piece of rushlight in it now. I ha:e no recollection of having seen it for some time; it was kept in a cupboard or a box ; the horn was out of it. The horn was nut kept in the same place as the lanthorn, but it was either in the cupboard or the box. Any person in the house could have got it. The prisoner lodging in my house could have access to it. I know where Mr. Templeman lived ; it was from three to four hundred yards from my house. Gould—You have said that when I came home on Tuesday morning you heard the clock strike two. Wit- Hess—Yes. Gould—Have you never said you could not hear a clock? Witness—Not to my knowledge. Gould—When I came home you was awake ? Witness —Yes. Gould—Could not I come home without you hearing me? Witness—Not that night ; I was awake. Gould—flow many times have I let myself in without you hearing me? Witness—Not frequently ; you have done so. In answer to further questions from Gould, witness stated that the prisoner might have come home without his hearing him, and had done so ; that prisoner was not at home when witness went cut to fetch his own beer. On his return prisoner was sitting at the table, and witness went and sat by the fire. Gould—Stato if you can what you formerly said about the shoes. Witness—l cut a piece of bacon, and it fell the wrong ide. I then cut another piece, which fell between your feet, and that drew my wife's attention to you shoes. Witness further stated that Gould might have heard him fasten the door, but did not think that Gould knew it. It was so fastened as that he could not get out. There was a window in Gould's bedroom with six squares of glass. It was not fastened. He had not scan the la stern for two years, perhaps. He had frequently lost things, but found them again in his garden. There was no inclosure be tween his garden and the plwe where the lantern was found. The cupboard in which it was kept was about three feet high. In answer to a question from Mr. HALL, witness said he never had a rushlight in Hs house. Gould— Have you never stated that I had a light in my room to sit up to read ? Witness--Not to my knowledge. Gould—How many different persons have you had lodging with you since you saw this lantern ? Witness— Wright and you. Gould—Where was the box kept? Witness—ln the wash-house. It was unlocked. The cupboard is never locked, one door is generally open. Igo there for coals, but I never saw the lantern. It could not be seen unless it t, as looked for. Gould—How long is it since I bought those boots of you ? Witn , ss—Between eight and nine months up to this time. I know nothing about any payments you have made. Mr. John West—l live at 47, Lambeth.walk, and am a sl oe.naker. I recollect selling a pair of boots to the prisoner on Tuesday, March 17 ; they were lace boots. It was in the morning. He came into my shop and asked for a pair of boots. He paid me 7s. 6d. for them. He fitted them on in the shop. The boots produced are the same sort of boots. A woman was with him. She had a child. We buy our shoes ready made. They were marked 92. The mark is worn out ; it would be placed on the toe. He had on a pair of stout boots, strongly nailed. They were not worn out. They were serviceable. I believe he paid tr ein silver. Ido not re collect what money he had. I was subpcenaed on a former occasion regarding the prisoner. Cross-examined by Gould—lt was in the early part of the morning you purchased the boots. I stated at first I could not recognize you, but when I saw you in your fus tian dress I could. I did not take particular notice of the soles of the old shoes. I have seen shoes trod through, and the edges good. Re-examined by Mr. Nobler—l was at the Old Bailey when prisoner was at the bar. He had on then a fustian dress. lam sure it was he who came to buy the shoes. Allen, being recalled, said be believed the shoes pro duced to be the same. He observed the prisoner to have a new pair on the evening in question. Gould—You have said that I told you I had got some money. How long have you thought of it ? Witness-- Almost ever since. Gould—Did you state that I said that the old lady re ceived me kindly, and that I was lucky ? Witness—l might have said so. Gould—You have been examined very often, and it is very strange you never stated anything about my having money before. Benjamin Hawkins—l live at No. 6, Liverpool Cot tages. I have been a beer-shop keeper. I know Po_ cock's-fields, and the cottages about there. I knew Mr. Templeman. He resided in Lincoln Cottage. About Michaelmas he was desirous of purchasing a cottage. I heard him bid money for it. He happened to come to my house to settle the business. I saw seventeen sove reigns and a half in gold in Mr. Templeman's possession at that time. Ho took it out of a hox in a drawer. He offered to deposit with me the price of the cottage. I 'nave mentioned this in public. Ido not know if I have kid it the pretence of the prisoner. I have spoken of it before the murder so frequently, that it might be generally known. The cottage was Jarvis's, he was about to purchase; he bid la. As he had not deposited the money it was presumed it was in his possession. I have frequently mentioned this. It was generally known. It appeared to mo that Mr. Templeman had two Bank notes. I know the pri soner as being about the neighbourhood, but I have no re collection that he was present when I mentioned this. Cross-examined by Gould—Was there any person who used your house that I was intimately acquainted with ? Witness—Persons that you might have drank with when you came in to sell potatoes. Gould—Did ever you see me serve Mr. Templeman with beer ? Witness—l never did. I have frequently seen you about the gardens with Mrs. Jarvis. Charles Allen recalled—stated, in answer to Mr. HALL, that he had never ascertained from conversation if the pri soner knew anything about Templeman, nor could they see his house from their cottage. George Walters—_l know Mr. Templeman and the pri. sorter, and have heard them speak together once. When the prisoner lived at Barnsbury Castle I saw him go across Mr. Templeman's ground to take beer to Jarvis. Mr. Mr. Templeman was angry. I came out, but could not hear what passed. I never said anything to Gould on the subject. I do not know that he knew it was Mr. Tem. pleman. Mr. Hobler said be thought it his duty to seek out everything he thought likely to forward the ends of justice, but he did not wish it to be thought he was pressing un duly on the prisoner. Mr. HALL—You arc quite right ; but we must not over. load the depositions with matter of no importance, which may perhaps mislead the Judge and the Jury. Collins the policeman was recalled, and asked by Gould precisely the time he' found the lantern ?—Witness : At half-past three on Tuesday. I had not searched previ ously. There was no search made on the Sunday by any one belonging to the force. Police -sergeant H. King, N 22, described the search of Allen's cottage on the 18th March, and the finding the money secreted in a stocking in the roof of the privy. The money consisted of 19 half-crowns, 48 shillings, and 7 six pences. Witness took it to Mrs. Allen, and showed it her. I have not the money now ; it was given up to the Sheriffs by order of the Court, after the trial. Since the last ex amination I have been making further searches. After the trial I gav e u p th e s t oc ki ng pro d uce d to I ns pector Miller. I marked it in ink. I see the mark now. I marked it on h, Thursda •of findin g it i n k. I t was returne d to me this morning at the 14'hthis mont h , station-house. On the hi t, I,etween twelve and one. we be:a near Allen's We search a p on d s it ua t e d in P ti n e ocock'b- been ,found. 4. .? d f s u , search further cottage, the same in which the lanthorn had EVENING ED;TION.„ The pond had been pieViously drained. while one of the men was scooping the mud out, I perceived something ie the mud. I told the man, who pulled this chisel out in my presence. lie delivered it to me directly. I have seen the drawer which was taken from the cot tage of Mr. Templeman. There ere marks of vio lence on it. The drawer now produced is the one I mean. The marks made I should say were made by such an instrument as the chisel produced. Sergeant Bradshaw was present when the stocking was found, and he was also present when I found the chisel. Cress examined by Gould—l put the ink mark on the stocking the morning I found it. I have never seen any other stocking marked with ink relating to this affair. I do not recollect a stocking being marked with ink at the B3rnstury Castle. I found a great many things in the pond during the course of the examination, such as pint, pots, quart pots, saucepans, and old bones. I was pre sent when die drawer was found. It was not in the state in which it now is. I do not know if the catch was • down or up. I should say the mark had been recently made, from the bright appearance of the brass-work of the lock. Jarvis was then introduced and put into the witness -box. His appearance excited a considerable sensation in the Court. John Jarvis—l am a painter and glazier, living at Chad's-place, Gray's inn-road. I knew Mr. Temp le ' man and he prisoner. I have heard them have vrords , about the prisoner crisoner cropping his ground. I bave seen prisoner serve Mr. Templeman with beer. This was about Christmas. Mr. Templeman took the boor from the prisoner. They have had words tog° . ther about prisoner crossing Mr. Templeman's and getting over his gate, more than once. Prisoner never made any remark to me about Mr. Templcman• Tt was not a thing talked of Templeman's living at home . Cross-examined by Gould—l have seen you serve Nir ,e Templeman with beer since Christmas, at dinner time , n° ' of a Sunday. I have seen you serve him with ha lf a pint. I heard you have words with him, and use j ade-. cent language to him. I never had any words with hi4ll • about getting over the gate, for he gave me permissio n to go through when I liked. grounds, Gould—Did you ever have any words with him James—Never in my life. Gould—Did your brother ever have any words with him? James—l cannot tell. Gould—You never saw me to converse with him? James —No, you used to hurry through as quick as you could. Mr. HALL—Did you ever hear the prisoner utter anY threats about Mr. Templeman ? Never, Sir. Gould—Your wife was in the habit of washing for did I conic for my things after I l e f t th e Barnsbury Cas tle ? Jarvis—Not above once or twice, and I forbade elf • wife from washing f o r y ou . 1 Mr. HALL_ why did y ou d o so ? J arv is B e cause considered him a person o f b a d c h arac t er .
