EVEN IN kl; ED IT lON A that he should havo no objection to lay the plan a the table of the House, provided the persons who drawn it out had no objection to'it. 'those per ; ;ens cobsidering that pat of the pancri were private, t =liked their being made public. With respect to the 4ter rinestions of the Hon. Member, all he had to say EIG, that he had no scheme to propose to the House on :.1.2 subject. POOR LAW. The Pcor-law Amendment all was read a second ;.roe, and ordered to be committed on the 18th May. The Poop-law Continuance Bill was brought in Mr. Fox Maule. TURKEY. 7 1 - ' Mr. HUME wished, had the Nob!e Llrd at the of the Foreign Department been present, to have him a question as to the steps which bad been - .rk ♦o carry into operation our commercial treaty h Turkey. Lord J. RUSSELL uttered, inaq(libly, something e.pica.;etieal for the absence of his Noble Friend. 'Mr. HUME--(rather sharply)—But I do say, Sir, I is a matter of greet importance—l gave notice of the caestion--it is on the paper—and the Noble Lord s , :..ght to be here.—(Hear, hear.) The public offices ieere burdened with memorials—great credit had been .1 ken by the Government for this treaty—yet. neither petitions nor memorials could answers or infoim Ition 7 . obtained—( Hear, hear)—and it did not appear steps had been taluen to carry out the treaty. CHINA. Mr. G PA,LM ER—Sir, the Government not hay 1,- tag advised any message to this House, but having - r;uatecred a declaration as to the object of the erne ' :aent against China—..viz., to obtain satisfaction for 'esuirs on her Majesty's liepresentatives at Canton, arse indemnity—(" (aaestion")--my object is merely explain that there are Iwo classes &. claims for in ) del:natty—those arising from the losses connected with r!ie trade with the Hong merchants, an l those founded upon the rtttention of the opium by the Chinese. Now wieh to :Wt. the Noble Lord whether, it the opium is nci delivered *, war is to l commeno.id immediately ainst the ebitnese ? Lord JOAN U.USS&LL—I must decline answer ieg a gate-ion of that untarte.—( Hear, bear.) Mr. G. PALMER—The,ternment having made c t a ieelaration—(Cries of " Oriorer")—l wish to ask the noble Lord whether he does not consider the declare -1 ~ e ta of the Government in this House, as to the object s j , the armament, does not in some degree pledge the House to agree thereto, unless some motion be speci made to the contrary ?—(Crics of " Order.") si Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I must decline answer ! ir.g such . :Raestions.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") only wish to say I have not asked for any answer to mcssage from the Crown. Mr. G. PALMER—Then I give notice that upon I the 30th, I shall move that the refusal of the Chinese to pay for the opium delivered up to them shall not be 1 cnnsidered a justification for commencing war against kaim.—(Hear, hear.) BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL rose to move, according to no +i-2e, that after the let of June, Orders of the Day take p"feedence of notices of motion on Thursdays. He ha I made the same motion early in the Session, but it yes objected to merely in point of time. As there were many important subjects likely to be discussed after the retess, it was essential that they should be discussed at an early hour of the evening, when there was likely to be a full attendance of Members. It so happened that ! lately they had three motions which had occupied ten days in debate, and that, of course, had infringed very ; cinch upon the days set apart for Orders. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. FOX M AU LE proposed that the House should ge into Committee,pro forma, in order to enable him to bring in a Bill which effected a change in the regula tieas of a trade. ) The House then went into Committee, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. 'dr, F. MAULS said, that in bringing forward the ion of which he had given notice, it was necessary to 4 *state, that owing to the Act expiring in the next Sea of Parliament, it -should be again renewed. He t . c. , :.usrlAt he was justified, from ail the inquiries he had made, in asking permission of the House to introduce i a Bill for finally putting an end to sweeping chimneys by means of children.—( Hear, hear.) Great efforts had l.+-sea made of late years to efftct that object, and he hoped the House would lend its aid in superseding the I employment of c hild ren f o r s u c h p ur p o s e s. One of tte pineipal features of his measure was that sweeping i enimneys by means of young children should be entirely done away with, and that no persons under the age of minty-ono years should be either permitted or compel lad to ascend chimneys for the purpose of sweeping 1 ,• them, under severe ponelties. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the Chairman of the Commit !' tee should he instructed to move for leave to bring in a i t Bill for the Regulation of Chimney-sweepers and Chimneys. 'Er. HUME, though he gave crec to her Majesty's i' .. Ministers for their humanity, had very little hopes of r their smcceedtng in thicir laudable object. ISir R. INGLIS thanked her Majesty's Ministers for t 7 .ayinl asked ioi lelhe to introduce the measure, which , Le trusted irriasitllieet with the approbation of the Q. Laird RUBY returned his heartfelt thanks to her Alajestf's iihtimcios for tehe work of humanity they had hewn, for ho believed the law, as it at present stood, bad produced a system of moral degradation that had ,?..aver before boon known in any civilized country. The House then resumed, and Mr. BERNAL ob 4ined lour* to bring in the Bill. THE CASE OF NATHANIEL CAVE. Mr. EASTH'OPE then rose to call the attention o the Howes to cite petition of Nathaniel Cave, which he bad resented a few days ago, complaining of illegal '.alpnsontneet. At the time he presented the petition be hati refrained from making any observations upon it, and it now became his duty to detail the contents of the complaint to the House. He was sure that there was nothing which that House would so cautiously abstain from as passing by anything that could induce a sus picion en the mind of the public that there was one law for the rich and another for the poor. He had not to complain of the administration of the law, but if the statements in the petition were true, he thought the tiause would agree with him that the law required al teration. Nathaniel Cave, as described, in the pc ; ation, was a labourer at a surgeon's in King's Langley. ''.a. was represented by John Wilton, the servant of Mr. i.lountain, that Cave had stated to two sons of a beet .shop keeper that Mr. Butt's trees had been cut on the Friday night. An interlineation was afterwards 1 made in the deposition of John Wilson,stating that the i boys had said Cave had cut the trees. Instead of those 1 boys being sent for and examined, the man Cave was 1 sent to the gaol of Berkhamstead, and confined for leight days on the prison fare—bread and water. When I tea man was brought up at the Petty Sessions it was 1 foe id to be one of those strange ridiculous stories that 1 era circulated, and the men was instantly discharged, j , Although he had been previously told by the Magistrate I that there was evidence enough to transport him. Now 1 'ibis was not a case that ought to be passed over with -1 frt,:t some •inquiry.—(Hear.) He (Mr. Easthope) did LIDt lir , some to vouch for all the facts stated in the 1 t:etirion, but he could vouch for the petition 1 corning from a most respectable person, who i stated that Give was a worthy and honest man. In ! deed, such was the excitement and annoyance of his , richer neighbours, caused by the conduet pursued ''inwards him, that they induced Cave to b ing his action eaainst Mr. Mountain. The result of the action was that the Learned Judge who expounded the law in :at case, having stated there was no evidence of ,:-. aliee which would warrant him to direct a verdict ,%' be given for the plaintiff, the Jury returned a assdiet for the defenalant ; and this poor man, in ad:li t ta.a to being cor4lued for eight days on the food of corn ! tnots-a)ons, had to pay upwards of 1001. for costs, be \ cau. %ha magistrate could not, it appeared, be chirped 1 le.th malice ; therefore, be was not to be aod liablefo r any en a, pensati on on account of the suffering who thusinjustice h had lsa i Ised committ e d aga i nst th i s poor man, i i.asierdly, and wi t h out redrass, to endurey a eight da s il ' a arwisonment, with a ll t h e d i sgrace and distress con s 'l. anent upon it, and be told, p er h aps, after all, that c 'e i''aer oaerated eetailty towa r d s r i c h and poor. Ho . ( Mr ' Y P.,...tfhlire) left it to the candou r and good ft! elin g olthe. t n ota te; whaeSiter, 4 this had bee n th e case o f a gentle ! ti ;,,„, e, , a 0,1,0 evi7/6141 have been in such a summary w a y ~ . 0 " t t o f oal, assd, betzvse there were no petty sessions, i iept itstwiscsaed ler - eight days. Such injustice would . rievev have bean inflicted OM any one above the rank of i labonrer. lie was ceu y. inccd that neith er t h at lionea no. the country woo d desire that such transac t tines should take place, creafirg an impression, with kso great show of truth, that the law was administered in one way towarda the rich, and in another way to .vardsthe poar. Ho would not enter into the law as it ! had Inca laid down by Lord" Abinger ; it would be pre -1 ,enaptuous in him to do so ; he doubted not that the Noble ind Learned Lord had laid the law down with t all that care which ought to characterize, and, in this country generally, did characterize judicial decisions ; but if the Learned Judge had laid down the law cor rectly, it certainly was a great hardship that a man sho a ld, on th e mere bears of chil dren, I eat wee k, andeskated for a th en—because have been in lY en—because failing in t betties' proof of malice , in th e eye o f t h e law— , a.aleted in DAL costs. Moreover, the H ou . M em b er had appli e d t o this gentleman for h r some explanation.-- S6O l O antidote to the stain which df been c iro as p t o o ta n ti h o i n s 1 reputation —..some slight disclaimer of which had thus inju re d that character which, 900( man, was all in all ; an d to this demand the r t e o ply a refrain for an ac into th a t to examine 1 , was, N " That the attorneys were i tion." Surely the House could n p o r t: into all the facts of the case, and t i monad the appointment of a $ l C f mo . e ect Committee. Lord he i Lord GRIMSTON said, he could not enter ' cite question, how far it was proper that this Ho use I shaanld inquire into cases wbich a jury had already dr. eided. But he begged them to remember that this ) was an ex-parte statement against a person in whose fat our a jury had determined. 1 , Mr. FOX MA ULE hoped the hon. Member would I leave the case in his hands, and he would take care that due inquiries would be made into the matter. If the' words attributed to the Magistrate were correct, they were certainly very imprudent, but with rsgard to the numb4r of days the party had been in confinement, that was certainty more the fault of the law than anything else ; and if proper precautions were not taken, the guilty would frequently escape. Sir E. WILMOT said, in addition to that fault of the law, there was another great absurdity which re quired annendment—namely, that distinction which made the cutting of a stick a felony, and taking away any quantity of timber previously cut merely a misde meanour. He thought that absurd distinction should be done away with. Toe ATTORNEY-GENERAL was rather sur priscd at the statements of the Hon. Member for War wick, who had entirely misapprehended the question, because it will lust the very reverse.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Ike Ceding to law, parties under examination might be remanded for a reasonable time, but if the time was unreasonable, the Magistrate was liable to an action, and damages might be recovered. Mr. ALSTON had applied to the Magistrate for an explanation, in order that it might be stated by himself, or his Hon. Colleague, in that House, and his answer was that he had no farther information to give. H e could not. see, therefore, what steps the Hon. Gentle man, the Under Secretary for the Treasury, could take in the matter. _ _ Mr. F. MAULE said, if the Magistrate, in answer o his application, stated that he had no answer to give hem, he must take the consequences. Mr. T. DU NCOMBE feared if they relied on the Hon. Under Secretary, they would be relying on a broken reed. These parties had already made applica tion to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart m •nt, and the petition stated that thay came before the House because the Secretary of State had taken no notice of their application. It appeared from the statement of the lion. and Learned Attorney-General that the fault was not altogether in the law, but in the Rev. Mr. Mountain, the reverend administrator of the law. The individual who had petitioned the House had offered bail to appear when called upon, but Mr. Moun tain sent him to the House of Correction, observing " there are facts enough to transport you." That might be considered clerical chat, but it appeared to him (Mr. Duncombe) to be a gross act of op pre.osion towards that individual. He would not say any thing about Christian charity, because when he brought before the House the case of that victim of Clerical oppression, John Thorogood, it did not seem to excite much attention. Real jus tice would never be done to the poor man until they had Stipendiary Magistrates throughout the country. If the Committee was appointed it would be shown that unpaid Magistrates, and particularly the Clerical ones, did not do their duty. Lord G. SOMERSET said it was clear, from the speech of the Hon. Member for Finsbury, that the ob ject of the motion was to inculpate the Magistracy of the country.—(Cries of " No, no.") He objected to the motion, because it was in effect calling upon the House of Commons to revise the sente nce o the Judge and Jury. He thought the Under Secretary of the Home Department had undertaken a rather difficult job, by the course he proposed to pursue, but thinking that course far preferable to the motion of the Hon. Member for Leicester, if they came to a division, he should divide with him. i t„b respect to the observa tions that had been made Mtative to the Magistrate in this case, he would only say that he believed, taking the whole of England, that the people had more eon filenee in the Magistrates that were not paid than in the Stipendiary ones. Mr. AGLIONBY—If the Hon. Member for Lei cester divided the House on this subject, he wo'sld vote for his motion, grounding that vote upon the statements contained in the petition. The time was come when the unpaid magistracy should be put an end to.—(Hear, hear). At least it was a fit subject for inquiry, whe ther persons should be treated as felons before convic tion, and whether the administratio❑ of the law could not be rendered more just and effective.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that, at all events, his Hon. Friend would divide the House on his motion.—(Hear, hear). Mr. EASTHOPE disclaimed any intention to speak disrespectfully of Magistrate or Judge—he had carefully avoided it—and he had applied to the Magis trate in this case for explanation, which, if it had proved satisfactory, he would not have brought the petition forward.—( Hear, hear). Was it proper that, because a boy or two had mistaken and misstated what a man h'd said, he should be brought up in handcuffs, and re fused bail, and dragged to prison ?—(Hear, hear). If it were the temper ✓ ot the house to accede to the sug gestion of the Under-Secretary, he would withdraw his tntion—(Hear, hear)—and trusted that, ultimately, the poor man might obtain justice.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ALSTON was glad the motion had been with drawn, for the complainant meant to move for a new trial.—(Hear, hear.) Motion withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. HU NIE, returns were ordered of the persons who had been indicted for high treason in Canada since 1838. The Hon. Member postponed his notices for other returns regarding Canada. Mr. V. SMITH said he hoped the Hon. Member did not moan to put a series of such notices on the paper, as attacks on Lord Seaton. . - Mr. WARBURTON then brought forward the case of these individuals whom he said had been sen tenced to imprisonment for having published a seditious libel, an offence which he would not excuse, but which he thought had been sufficiently expiated by the con finement they had already ensured.—(Hear.) The treatment of persons sentenced for libel to imprison nEnt, was altogether different from what it used to be, before the passini , of three recent Acts. Formerly it was considered sufficient to secure the safe detention of the person, and there was no severity of discipline.-- (Hear, hear.) This had been the case with Sir Francis Burdett, who, when imprisoned for a seditious libel, resided in the Marshal's apartments, in the Queen's Bench, living if not sumptuously, at least comfortably. So with Mr. Gilbert Wakefield—so with Mr. Hunt—so with Mr. Cobbett.—(Hear, hear.) Nay, even when Robert Taylor was convicted of blasphemy, he was treated with much more leniency than Lovett and Collins, who, it appeared, had with difficulty obtained from the humanity of the Magistrates some slight relaxations— who had actually been prevented from wearing their shoes on the cold brick floor—(Hear)—who had been confined for fifteen or sixteen hours a day during the winter months, without fire or candle—( Hear)—who had been debarred from such necessaries as meat or tea—(Hear)—who were prevented from facilities of correspondence, and who were not allowed to see their friends above once a quarter.—(Hear, hear.) They had been allowed to have fire and such books as were approved by the Chaplain. Now with regard to the particular regulations under which these restrictions had taken place. They grew out of three Acts of Parliament regulating all the prisons of that country. Those Acts provided certain regulations for certain offences. Misdemeanours, where the party had not been convicted, and where the party had, were very differently treated, and so with respect to crimes of a higher nature ; and out of those regulations had arisen all that he now complained of. Why, he would ask, should men who had been guilty of sedition be subjected to the same indignities as the common felon, which had been the case with respect to thee:, two unfortunate men ? They had been stripped naked on entering the prison, because the regulations of the prison required it, and had been subject to the most undeserved indignities. The Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir E. Wilmot) who, to his honour, had taken the case of these unfortunate men into his consideration, has stated in his letter to tho Home Secretary that their condition was heart-rending in the extreme, and such as no person convicted of seditious libels should be subject to. All this had been caused by the regula t ens adopted in the Acts of that House, every Member of which, he was sure, wouid do all in their power to re pair the errors they had committed in adopting fleets). He was sure it never was the intention of the House to inflict the punishment he had described on that class of offenders. lie was glad to find that the Under Secre tary for the Home Department intended to remedy the evil in the Prisons Bill that stood for a Committee that night ; ant he trusted also that, !coking to the treatment these unfortunate individuals had received, that her Mesiesty's Government would remit the three months that remained still of their incarceration. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that there be added to the correspondence on the table on this subject the let ter addressedto the Hon. Member for Warwick to Lord J. Russell. Mr. Sergeant TALFOU RD seconded the motion. He hail had the honour of knowing many persons who had been convicted of offences similar to those that had been committed by Mr. Collins and Mr. Lovett. Among them were men who bad rendered the best ser vices to society —among them w ere Mr. Leigh Hunt, Mr. John hunt, M r . Cobbett, ar nd o N nld o r.Wt mfo i c n o terho r t t t s r of whom, instead o f being deprive d a ere allowed a degree of splendouru bete had his books and hi s music' andtevem.o th er.A l r CoJcom fort, and even Mr. Astell, who was co nvicted y of pur loinieg Exchequer bills, and who was u nder e sentence of death for man) years, had the State apartments in New gate, where he entertained large parties. With respec t to Mr. Winterbottom, lie was co nv i cte d of preaching n t wo sermons on the French Revolution, that gent l eman, so far from being d ebarred the Co mpany of a wife, wa s actually allowed to marry when he was in prison. Look ing at all these things, he could not but think that it w. ls a most unworth; thing on the part of the Government to attempt to prosecute, as had been the case here, persons convicted of political offences. With respect to the unfortunate young man, Vincent, who had been convicted of sedition at Monmouth, he understood that he had been transmitted from the prison there to the Penitentiary here ; he hoped such was not the case, bee;:use from all' that he had s een of that young man, his firm belief was that he might be reclaimed from the dangerous associations with which he had hitherto been connected. The Hon. and Learned Member concluded by seconding the motion. THE MTN, LONDON, WEDNESnAY. APRIL th, IRA The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Eight o'clock. INQUEST ON MR W. S. POYNTZ, FORMERLY M.P.JOR MIDEIURST. The death of this gentleinau presents a singular fact in pathology. He expired suddenly, at his house at Hampton Court, at his dinner, on the Bth of April, with convulsive movements of the face and hands, the conse quence of a want of power in the heart to continue to carry o n the circulation. This cessation of nervous energy in the heart was the result of an injury received by him s h e o v r e s n e on his head, a when his ago. In Mr. Poy n tz fell from his chin was forced on his breast, and produced a dislocation in the spine, which was found at the post morton zxamination made by Mr. Liston, of Old Burlington-street, and Mr. Holberton, the medi cal attendant of Mr. Poyntz. Since that accident he had never been so well as before, and during the last two or three years had occasionally experienced brief faintings, from a total cessation of the heart's action, presenting symptoms precisely like those which were described to the jury, but with this difference, that from the last, which hated under a minute, he did not recover. The surgeons discovered the processus dentatus of the spine displaced row, one-third t hespinalin c d a i n a a tr i ,e ter, just below the thefo forwards, diminishing m amarrow, and, consequently, skull, where the chord bezins to meet the brain. The injury was evidently of old standing, and, in Mr. Holbe;ton's op;. nion, was, through the heart, the cause of death. Thus was "stablished the singular fact, that death resulted almost instantaneously from an injury inflicted seven years before. Rut few such cases are on record. The butler, Thomas Francis, who had lived with Mr. Poyntz for 15 years, stated at the inquest that the health of Mr. Poyntz, who was 71 years old, was apparently better than usual on the day of the fatal attack, though he was rather depressed in spirits. He had taken nothing unusual, nor been from home on that day. He always lived by medical rule. When the fainting fits came on stimulants and dashes of cold water on the face were formerly used, but the surgeon directed the former to be discontinued, as they did not lessen their du ration, but rather increased them, and the attacks being more frequent when the stomach was disordered, it was de sirable to withhold spirits and medicinal stimuli, from their subsequent injury to the stomach. Singularly, no para lysis or injury of the intellect followed the injury of the spine in 1833. All the valves of the heart were healthy, and no unnatural sounds were ever detectable in the chest. The dura mater of the brain was found attached firmly to the skull, and effusion under the aranmoid membrane. When well, the pulse counted 25 or 26 in the minute, at other times not more than eight or nine. Mr. Holberton distinctly considered that if the fall in 1833 had not occurred, Mr. Poyntz might have been alive at this moment. He was very greatly respected at Hamp ton Court, where the breaking up of his establishment will be much felt.— Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIVSIOICI-HOUSE. A licensed hawker, named Alexander Boyd, and a publican named Storey, who resides in Somerset -street, upon the borders of the City, was brought before Alder man Thomas Johnson, under the following circumstances. Richard Scott, a warehouseman in the Customs, stated that on Monday, as he was going along Whitechapel, a man walked up to him, and said " Will you do any thing in the cigar or brandy way ;" to which he replied, " that he would if he could get a good bargain." " You shall have 500 cigars at a low price," said the stranger, " and you shall have tho best French brandy at 12s. a gallon." The stranger then made him put his hand to his heart, and solemnly pledge himself never to divulge the secret. As witness had not his commission about him, he did nothing in the business at that time,but made an appointment with the stranger for seven o'clock in the morning, at the house of Storey. Upon going to the public-house he saw Storey, who, on hearing on what business he came, seemed per fectly well to know all about it, and showed the stranger and him into a private room, where the stranger said, " It you can get 1001. I'll give you value for it in best French brandy, at 12s. a gallon, and 500 cigars for 305." Wit ness having intimated a wish to deal, the stranger asked him whether he would also purchase some fine French shawls, and produced four shawls as a sample, stating that he lived in the house, and that the shawls were real French manufacture. The stranger also brought in samples of other goods, but witness, pretending to disagree as to the price, left the house, and applied to a policeman, who accompanied him to make a seizure of the contraband articles. Upon entering the public house witness observed the defendant Boyd secreting some pieces of shawls upon his person, in the presence of the land lord and other persons, one of whom was the identical in dividual who had invited him to make the bargain. Boyd made resistance, and the landlord demanded to see wit ness's authority, after which witness took from Boyd's per son the shawl pieces, which proved not to be foreign, but of home manufacture. Ile then went up stairs and took two shawls out of the box in the landlord's room, and lastly, 1 , ,e visited the cellars, but he found neither smug gled brandy, cigars, nor shawls there. Mr. Hobler—And what became of the man with whom you had the conversation? Witness—lle absconded while we were searching Boyd, but the shawls which Boyd had about him were those which that man showed me as a sample. Boyd produced his license as a hawker, and said that he had purchased the shawls which were taken from him of a shopkeeper, whom he could produce to prove the fact. He declared that he knew nothing of the smuggled goods or of the Custom-house officer, and that it was too bad to interrupt him in his business, which was a perfectly legiti mate calling. The landlord also remonstrated against the harsh con duct of the Custom-house officer in seizing upon his wife's shawls, one of which bad been.in use three years, and nei ther of which could possibly have deserved the name of smuggled. Ho described the behaviour of Scott, who is an Irishman, and rather a raw one, as wild and rash in the extreme. The Solicitor to the Customs stated that he had no com plaint against the publican, whose wife's shawls would be immediately restored to her; but he called upon the Al derman to condemn the four shawls which had been found on Boyd, not because they were contraband, but because they were attempted to be passed off upon the Custom-house officer as articles of French manufacture. Mr. Hobler—There was a great oversight in not taking the man who was the principal actor. The Custom-house officer—l know that all the per sons I saw in the house were licensed; for the man that wanted me to deal with him, said that he had his agents there. Sergeant Williams said that be accompanied the Custom house officer, who appeared to him to be in liquor, and who went very roughly to work, threatening to break open a room door and a box. The Custom house officer said that he was going to make a great seizure, and, on going into the cellar, took hold of a bottle, and said " Here is smuggled brandy." It turned out, however, to be pepper mint. He then took up a keg, which he was sure con tained contraband stuff, but it proved to be a keg of spruce.—( Laughter.) The Solicitor—l go merely for the four shawls which Boyd had about him. Alderman JOHNSON—I shall certainly condemn them. I believe this hawker to be one of those persons who are in the habit of taking in farmers and their daughters, by pretending that the trash they vend is of French manufac ture ; and I consider that the publican has acted most im properly, in allowing such transactions in his house. The four shawls were than taken to the Custom-house. It was mentioned in the Justice-room that the whole business was a joke, played off upon the Irish Custom house officer, who, it was said, was in the habit of bragging of wLat he could do with smugglers: It certainly had cry much the appearance of a frolic ; but if such was the eve, although there was a good deal to laugh at in the adventure of the Irishman, the condition of the two jokers, at the Mansion-house, was much more ridiculous.

' EXTRAORDINARY OCC URRENCE. —On Sun day eveni ng l ast t h e We s l e yan Methodist Ch a p el, in Dou g las, Isle of Man, became the scene of one of the most extraor dinary occurrences ever witnessed in any place of worship. Divine service had proc eeded as usual , unt il the p reacher , the Rev. R o b ert Hayes, had given out the passage of Scripture chosen for the discourse, when a strong and muscular female, who sat in the body of the chapel , rose from her seat, and with " deliberate step and firm, ascended the pulpit stairs, entered the pul pit, seized the preacher round the arms and waist, and, in a magical manner, turned him down stairs. at the same time exclaiming, "Nosy, I'm satisfied !" " The Messiah :5 come !" The effect produced upon the congrc- Fatim was truly electrical, females fainting, gentlemen laugh mg, many moiling out of the chapel without their hats, and all in the highest state of excitemea. The female preacher commenced an exhortation, amidst an uproar and confusion which almost rendered her expressions inaudible, and which it would be impossible to describe. The expres sions, " You are sinners "t--" The Messiah is come"— " The abomination that make,th desolate"—" The woman in the wilderness"—" The drunkards of Ephraim," and others similarly incoherent, were thos e which seemed to occu py her mi n d. Af ter t h e s ensation had partially subsided , a number of men ascen d e d the pulpit stairs , f or the p ur pose of exp e lli ng t hi s i ntru d er; but this proved a more difficult task th an th ey contemp l a ted, for she defended herself in gallant style ; and it was not till a fter a considerable strug gle had t a k en p l ace t h at s he consented to forego her claim to the pulpit, which, she stoutly maintained was built for her use, and not for the Rev. ger.tleman. llaving, however, being expelled by physical force, she contented herself by exclaiming, " Glory to God !" and was put out of doors, where she continued to ejaculate this and similar expressions. Order having again been restored, the Rev. Gentleman ascended the pulpit, and proceeded w ith his discourse.

Mr. FOX MAULE said that he had no objection to th motion of his Hon. Friend, as it was made for the purpose of enabling him to make a statement to the House. He so far agreed with his Hon. Friend, that in the Committee on the Prisons Bill that night he should hare no objection to adopt the amendment pro proposed. Something, however, had fallen from the Gentleman who spoke last with which he could not agree ; he had drawn a parallel between the cases of Mr. Leigh Hunt and that of Lovett and Collins. The character of the libels were very different, and were published at very different periods. It must be borne in mind that the seditious libels uttered by Lovett and Collins were uttered at a period when the country was in considerable danger from the proceedings of a b o dy ca ll e d th e National Convention. It had been the duty of the Government, for the sake of preserving the public peace, to institute proceedings against him, and if a jury of his country were of opinion that he w is guilty of the charges imputed to him, to let the law take its course. It was not in the power of the Secretary of State, or of the Magistrates, to mitigate to a greater extent than they had done the severity of his punishment. Vincent's offence was of a graver character. Any one who had read the Western Vindicator, of which Vincent was the editor, must be convinced that, until he did very much reform his opinions, he would not be other than a very dangerous member of society.— (Hear, hear, from Mr. Sergeant Talfourd.) Vincent, however, would receive the same treatment as the other prisoners confined in the Penitentiary, and he had heard no complaint made of the treatment they had to un dergo. He quite agreed, however, that there ought to be a power given to the Magistrates and the Secretary of State to separate those who were guilty of political offences and seditious libels from the convicted felons. —(Hear, hear.) Haying made these explanations he begged to say that be should offer no opposition to the motion.—( Hear.) Mr. HUME was very much pleased with the state ment that had been made by the Hon. Gentleman.— ( Hear, hear.) Some of Mr. Lovett's papers, especially his address on education, equalled, if it did not excel, anything that bad ever issued from the press.—(Hear, hear.) He begged, however, to observe that there was an idea among the working classes that these men had been more severely treated than men in a higher station of life would have been subjected to, and he hoped they would very soon be liberated.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. T. DUNCO MBE observed that the statement of his Hon. Friend the Secretary for the Home Depart ment was satisfactory as to the future, but he wished something more satisfactory had been said as.to the past. He had admitted that great wrong had been done to those individuals, but he had not explained why there should have been that difference batween the treat ment of Lovett and Collins and the Rev. Mr. Stephens.—(Hear, hear.) There was one point, he thought that ought to be inquired into. Those two individuals, Lovett and Collins, had been com pelled to sleep in the same bed, and that bed only three feet six inches wide, and another bed in the same room was occupied by a convicted felon.—(Hear, hear) He believed there was not a more amiable man in private life than Lovett. Collins was also a man of good private character, but he bad been mis led.—(Hear, hear.) Lovett's libel after all was merely publishing that which he had heard stated over and over again in that House, viz., that the police from London were the cause of the riot at Birmingham. That was all that was stated in the resolution pub- lished by Lovett, and he called upon the people to meet and resist the introduction of so unconstitutional a force. A great destruction of property certainly did ensue in Birmingham, but they were in no way reapon• sible for it, because they were locked up in War wick gaol at the time. Tile treatment which those individuals had undergone having been so severe, and contrary to all former precedent, he thought great credit would attach to the Govern ment if they were to discharge them, and took care that for the future no individuals guilty of seditious libels suffered a similar treatment. He only wished the Hon. Member for Wiltshire (Sir F. Burdett) and the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Nottingham (Sir J. Hobhouse) had been in their places. They were the Lovetts and Collinses of former times.— (Laughter.) He should have liked to have asked them how they would have relished the treatment which those unfortunate men have suffered ?—( Hear, hear.) Lord SA NDON made a few observations in a very low tone. We understood him to say that punish ments ought not to be greater than would carry public feeling with them, and that the errors which these men had been guilty of might sometimes be the errors of generous characters.—( Hear, hear.) Sir EARDLEY wiLmoT said, if the prisoners had undergone too severe a punishment, the fault was with the law, and not with those who had to administer it. As to two being in a bed, he begged to observe, that in consequence of recent circumstances Warwick IGoal was so full that they did not know what to do with the prisoners ; and that, be believed, they bad been obliged to put no less than three in a bed. If the Se cretary of State felt any doubt as to the propriety of continuinc , these men in confinement longer, he (Sir E. Wilmot) begged to state that, as Visiting Magistrate, he had made inquiries respecting their conduct, and ho had been told it was unexceptionable. If, therefore, the Secretary of State would apply to him, he could report that the conduct of these persons had been ex emplary ; and there would, then, be a fair and consti tutional ground for excercising the prerogative of mercy.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. VILLIERS hoped, as the Hon. Baronet had expressed so decided an opinion on the good conduct of the prisoners, that he would not delay taking that course which it was in his power to adopt, as Visiting Magis trate, of sending in a recommendation to the Secretary of State.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HAVES observed that the Hon. Baronet, by the 16th clause of the Prisons' Act, was empowered to do so in conjunction with other visitors, and as not a single Gentleman on the other side of the House had dissented from it, he hoped the Hon. Baronet would pursue that course. He hoped and trusted the Hon. Gentleman, the Under Secretary, would communicate to the Noble Lord at the head of the Home Depart ment, the general feeling which had been expressed in that House that night.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. W A.RBURTON sincerely hoped that mercy would be extended to those unfortunate persons. The motion was then agreed to. SCOTCH LAW COMMISSIONS. Mr. HUME, for Mr. Wallace, moved that any re port or reports, as well as any evidence which has been reported by the late Scotch Law Commissioners, re specting the various subjects they were directed to in qu're into, and which arc not as yet before the public, be laid on the table of this House.—Ordered. On the motion of Mr. HUME, for Mr. Gillon, a re turn was also ordered of all the Crown Lands and Es tates in Scotland, specifying where situated ; distin guishing those attached to any Royal palace or for tress, to whom leased or granted, and the date of such lease or grant. Of the total amount of the yearly rents or profits of the said lands and estates since the return made in 1833, and, where the said rents or pro fits arc payable in grain or any other commodity, stating 'tbe value received in money for such payments. Of the moneys paid into the Exchequer, or to the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, in each year, in respect of the rents or profits of the said lands and estates, during the like period. Of the moneys paid by the Crown, or retained, from the gross rents or profits of the said lands and estates, and applit d to defraying the expenses of management, and paying the salaries of the Rangers, Wardens, Chamber lains, or by whatever other names the persons may be designated who have the charge or superintendence of the Crown property, with the names of such persons ; and, where such persons have any other emoluments or allowances in addition to their salaries, stating the na ture and amount of such emoluments or allowances, during the like period. Of the moneys, if any, expended on improvements of the said lands and estates, with the nature, description, and particukr cost of each improve ment, and the names of the persons occupying the parts of the said lands and estates on which improvements have been made, during the like period. Of the num ber of actions at law carried on in the Sheriff or other Courts in relation to the said lands and estates, the na ture and date of commencement of such actions, speci fying those still in dependence, those which have been concluded, and those, if any, which have been abandoned or allowed to go to sleep, with the expenses incurred in each action respectively, and the sums of the said ex panses, if any, which have been repaid to the Crown, during the like period. Mr. E. J. COOPER, in the absence of his colleague Mr. Maxwell, moved for returns of the number of Ro man Catholic Bishops or Priests receiving any grants of public money in the British Colonies, and the total amount of those grants; the dates from which those grants severally commenced, and the authorities under which they. were granted. Of all grants or loans of public buildings or public la ds in the _Colonies to Roman Catholic Bishops or Priests, stating, in each were t befor e case, the extent of the lan ds so g ranted or lent, an d thoseth e i r present buildin gs or rlands application, g oand granted the public or le n us e t applied, with the dates respectively of such grants or plied to Parliament I f o ls s u ' eh O gr f a t n h t e s G RAMMAR SCHOOLS BILL. poerrlsooannss.w—hoOhrdaevreedap. Sir E. WILMOT moved the second reading of the above Bill. He said his Bill was not intended to interfere with, or in any way alter, the constitution of the foundations as laid down by their founders,—his purpose was rather to carry out the intentions of the founders for improving the present schemes. The main principle of the Bill was to allow trustees to alter and amend their constitutions, at an expense of 251. to 30/. which, under the present law, would cost 5001. The Bill was then read a second time. Mr. ALSTON gave not i ce, t h at on to - mo rrow fortnight he would move that the Bill be referred to a S e l T e c h t e Committee. iteport of the Committee on the Admiralty Court (Judge's Salary) Bill was brought up, as also the Report of the Committee of' Ways and Means.

BARCLAY, PERKINS, AND Co.'s BREIVEKV•—On Monday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Payne , at St. Thoma s's Hospital, on the body of Evan Evans, aged 44, w ho came by his death from falling down and striking his head. The injury appeared to be very trivial, but soon after his admission into the hospital he exhibited signs of delirium tremens. The deceased died on Sunday morning. Verdict—Accidental Death. THE RETARDER.—TIiaI has now been m a d e of this invention for retarding (not locking) the wheels ot car riages when going down hill, with success. The principle of the invention is pressure so applied to the nave of the wheel as to retard its motion, or at the will of the coachman stop it alto gether. The advantages of the invention are that the p ower may be applied at the discretion of the coachman, so that he might take his coach down a steep hill without allowing his horses to be pressed upon at all. THE LU ECTION. Mr. J. Brookes Revis entreats of his Connection and Friends, that they will, in a Fpirit of common justice, delay their judgment upon the part he is now taking against the Tory Aristocracy of Shropshire. The Reports of the Proceedings before the Ludlow Election Committee, ~' i ven in some of the newspapers, more particularly in the Conservative journals, are most dishonest, as will be proved when a full statement—supported by documentary it'd personal evidence—is completed end submitted to the Public. Mr. Revis does not desire to claim sympathy from those who cannot show it without an appeal ; but he fuels that many for whom he has entertained the highest senti ments of respect, and who have not been made acquainted with a few of the oppressive and most distressing c►rcum stances of his early life—now raked up for the mere gra thication of malice and revenge—may form conclusions from the representations alluded to, which they would re gret, after all the . fiicts have been placed before them. Perhaps it would be only fair, in the present stage of the proceedings, that it should be borne in mind that Mr. Revis stands aloes against the whole force of the most powerful party, in point of wealth, in the country ; that this wealth is now employed to crush him. They have iisve once sacrificed him, and would do so again. All the despicable machinery of a desperate faction arc in full work ; and it can only be conquered by him, and ulti mately used for the confusion of his oppressors, from a thorough sense of the justice of the motives by which he is actuated. Mr. ltevis assures his friends that he has perfect reli ance upon the propriety of the course he has pursued, and, he may add, upon the righteousness of his cause ; and that he shall come out of the severe ordeal to which he is now subjected, in a manner that they will be rejoiced to v:tness. Fendall's Hotel, Palace Yard, Tuesday, April 14, 1840. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. From the London New Price Current of April 14. ) SUGAR.—Since our last report a good demand has pre vailed for British Plantation Sugar, for grocery as well for refining purposes, and the prices paid are Is above those of this day week, the purchases have amounted to 1,300 hhds and tres,:and they would have been to a greater extent, had the market been better supplied. At auction 68 hhds 6 tres, &c. Barbadoes sold at 67s to 69s Gd for middling to good quality. This afternoon the advanced rates established towards the close of last week were fully maintained, and an ex cellent demand prevailed from both the refiners and erocers ; the purchases amounted to 700 hhds and tierces. There was no public sale. REFINED.—There has been a large business doing in Refined goods for home use, at prices Gd to is above those of last Tuesday. To-day Refined goods sold freely for home use, and standard lumps are now fetching 81s 6d to 82s. Pieces and Bastards go off well at our quotations. Treacle is in good request at former terms. Bonded crushed Sugar is in active request at 34s 9d to 35s per cwt. 200 hhds Dutch crushed have been sold at 31s on board at Amster dam, and the same price refused for 250 hhds, 31s 6d being required. MAURlnes.—This afternoon there was a lively demand and the whole of 6,928 bags at public sale were:readily dis posed of at full former rates for yellow kinds, and at 6d advance for brown sorts ; fine yellow sold at 68s to 69s 6d, good 66s 6d to 67s 6d, middling to good middling 64s to 665, low middling 63s to 63s 6d, middling greyish 635, fine brown 62s to 62s 6d. middling to good 598 to 61s 6d, low middling 57s to 58s per cwt. EAST IN DIA. —Of Manilla none has been offered at auc- tion, Refiners have taken 9,000 bags at 22s 6d for low yel low : the stock here cmisists chiefly of the better qualities, for which 22s to 93s 6d is required. Siam, at previous rates. For Java, previous rates have been maintained; Bengal, prices have advanced Is. FOREION.—This afternoon the market was quiet for all descriptions, but prices remain firm. At public sale 2,026 boxes yellow Havannah were all taken in 6d above previous rates, viz. good quality at 26s to 26i 6d ; good middling 25s to 25s 6d ; middling and low middling 24s to 243 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.—For West India prices have assumed an upward tendency ; Demerara, good at 33s 6d to 34s ; St. Vincent's, middling 33s to 33s 6d ; Barbadoes, fine 375, ordinary 35s 6d : atlauction, 86 puns fine Barbadoes fetched 37s to 373 6d per cwt. COFFEE —the trade have shown more desire to pur chase the better kinds of British Plantation of clean qua lity, but the quantity remaining in the merchants' hands being very small, have prevented transactions of moment by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction. Jamaica of good middling quality has been disposed of in small quantities at 1355, low and unclean sorts, however, continue exceedingly dull of sale, and prices are still un certain. This afternoon the merchants showing a disposition ge nerally to accept the late reduced prices occasioned a much better demand for Coffee for home use ; sales in good and fine ordinary Ceylon were made privately at 90s to 925, and good ordinary Java at 70s to 75s : at auction 3,370 bags St. Domingo from the Cape were all sold, good and fine ordinary at 513 to 565, ordinary mixed 47s to 495, da maged 48s to 535, which prices are 15s under those when the market was at its highest. 100 bags fine colony Rio were taken in at 525; and 38 casks very unclean fine ordi nary Berbice at 98s ; 31 casks clean Jamaica fetched its full value, viz., fine middling 1365. The demand for Fo reign is limited, but prices are firm ; 940 bags Rio at auc tion only partly found buyers at 47s to 48s for fine ordinary being its full value. The home market closed with deci dedly a more lively appearance. TEA.—In the middle part of last week there was only a limited business doing in Tea, and prices declined to 2s 2/cl to 2s 3d for Company's Congou cash ; common free trade was freely offered at 2s 2d, and Twankay at 2s 3d to 23 3id per lb; even at these rates, however, few parties were disposed to purchase, and the business done was almost exclusively confined to parcels for money. During the last few days, however, there has been a much better inclination shown to do business, and holders have dis played more firmness. In Company's Congou the trans actions have been extensive in cash parcels, and prices have advanced to 2s 6d to 2s 6id for long and short prompts a good many sales have been made at the improved rates of 23 7d to 2s 7iel, and upon these terms it is now difficult to buy ; the heavy prompt which fell due on Friday having been partly ,met and arranged, has greatly relieved the market. For free trade Congou and Twankay the demand has been brisk for money parcels, for actual consumption as well as speculation, and prices have advanced 2d to 3d per lb, the former in large parcels have been disposed of at 2s 4id to 2s sd, for common and middling blackish leaf kinds at 2s sid to 2s 6d, the latter has been disposed of to some extent at 2s 51c1 to 2s 6d. In Hyson of common quality a good many purchases have been made at an advance similar to that noticed above, 2s 8d to 2s 9d having been cur rently paid. In free trade Tea there has not been much business doing for prompts, still the demand is decidedly on the increase, and there are now few sellers of common Congou under 2s 6d, and Twankay 2s 61d to 23 7d per lb. The trade are still kept in the dark as to the actual quantity of Tea which can be received from China before the armament can get there from Bombay; by some of the letters it is calculated at 7,000,0001b5, st all events if all the Tea ships lying there could get cargoes it is estimated the largest quantity of Tea they could briag would not exceed 14,400,000113 s; the future state of prices will mainly depend on the quantity of Tea available at Canton for England, and upon which subject little is at present known even amongst the merchants. The stock in the kingdom on the let inst. was reduced to 45,000,000ibs ; last year at the same period it amounted to 49,000,0001b5. The deliveries of Tea during the last week have amounted to 326,000ih5. To-day large purchases were made in free trade Congou for cash, and prices are rather higher, for common 2s 5d has been currently paid, and there is nothing now to be had under that figure, excepting very low quality not better than Bohea. Twankay has been taken freely, and prices have advanced to 2s 6d for common quality. In Com pany's Congou a good deal of business was transacted for money at 2s 61d to 25 6d. Fur prompts several parcels were disposed of, common Twankay at 2s 7d, ordinary Congou 2s 6d to 2s 6id, and Company's 237 d to 2s 8 , 1 per lb. The sale has been fixed for the 22d, and consists of only 915,7751b5, 185,320 of which is Canton Bohea, 299,616 Congou, 9,576 Souchong, 3,055 Ning Yong, 3 901 Caper, 8,650 Orange Pekoe, 450 Hung Mucy, and black leaf Pekoe, 9,600 Flowery Pekoe, 123 622 Twan kay, 3,534 Hyson Skin, 133,802 Hyson, 16,424 Young Ilyson, 38 571 Imperial, 78,463 Gunpowder, 1,191 sorts. This afternoon for cash parcels thema was an excellent demand, and the prices left off at 5s 51(1, for common clean Free Trade Congou, 2s 6d to 2s 6i -d for ordinary brightish leaf Twankay, and 2s -61 d for Company's Congou. It was reported in the Tea Market to-day, that an objection would be raised as to admitting the cargoes of the Alexander Baring, Eliza Stewart, and the Ann shortly expected with tea, it being placed on board on Howqua's account ; we cannot, however, trace this to any authentic source. SALTPETRR.—For Rough the demand has become very limited ; at public sale 6000 bags Calcutta were nearly all taken in 6d under former rates. English Refined has sold well at 30s 6d in hhds, and 31s in barrels. 011.s.—Common descriptions of Fish Oils since we last wrote, have been at lower rates, 261 15s to 271 having been accepted for Pale Seal, and 2815 s to 28/ 10s for Cod.

TALLCW.—The transactions in Russian Tallow in the middle part of last week were on a small scale on the spot as well as for delivery, and prices gave way a little ; the stock being ,nearl) all in the hands of one party, he has succeeded in getting his own price, viz., 523 6cl to 52s 9d for first quality. For delivery in the last three months at 49s 61 to 49s 9d.

AWFUL OCCURRENCE.—On Tuesday morn L ing last an occurrence took place at Ruttershaw, near Log Moor Works, which has excited a strong sensation. Itb °6 six o'clock dreadful shrieks were heard to issue from the hour of S. Wooller, of Low Moor Foundry. A mason named P y rau rushed into the house, when he beheld Wooller's wife lYingt,°: the floor , the blood streaming from her, and her head such A spectacle, that it was almost a shapeless mass with wounds oil bruises. This so affected Pyrah, that he sank down on a Vie sick. Pyrah was followed into the house by Woodhead. woman was then choking from the coagulated blood in " mouth ; Woodhead with considerable presence of mind re moved it with his finger. When Pyrah had reco vered, 1 began to seek for Wooller. After a strict search, he wasili:d on a bed up stairs, covered over with a counterpane. llewhich inflicted a large wound on his neck with a pocket-knife , was very blunt, and did not effect his purpose. He was secured ": the meantime medical assistance was sent for. Two surgeons 30:__ rived, and every attention was paid to the unfortunare woman. During the greater part of the Tuesday she was galas insensible, but partially recovered her recollection, "d At enabled to give a simple " yes" or " no" to questions. the time we write, Friday morning, we hear that she is alive, but little or no hopes are entertained of her recovery- The wounds had been inflicted with the poker and fire - shovel. ' ° return to Wooller—he has since maintained a dogged silence , _ j and refused up to Wednesday to eat any thing. He attempt ed while in the custody of the constable again to commit s uicide. Various rumours are afloat as to the cause of this brutal actiot It seems that Wooller and his wife had not for some time iiy, ; %" happily, and had been parted. H e had b e f ore express ed determination to murder her. It is st a t e d th a t h e ma rried somehow against his inclination. Be thi s a s it ma y, she ma de' e l we understand, a notable wife.

Providentially the fire did not reach the n , or newspaper bags. The guard states that if the mail h ad eo _ firmed on the train many minutes longer it would ha ve b e e : entirely destroyed, as, in addition to the strong current arris t % from the rapid motion of the train, the wind was blowing fr? the south-west, so that it would have been consumed almost w, stantly, and the other three mails taken by the same n er d would in all probability have also been destroyed. The.g frot o states that large pieces of fire were frequently flying 0 " the tender during the passage. v f OR " GREAT MEETING IN NEWCASTL...
