FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We understand that the Railway Department to be annexed to the Board of Trade, under the new Bill, is to be constituted at first on a very limited and econo mical scale. Feeling that the working of the new measure must be (for some time at least) in a great degree experimental, the President of the Board of Trade has judiciously determined to increase the per manent establishment of his department as little as possible, consistently with the efficient discharge of the new duties imposed upon it by the Legislature. With this view, instead of appointing a whole Board of Commissioners and permanent Engineer Inspectors, the Railway Department has, we understand, been attached to the Statistical Branch of the Board of Trade, and placed under the general control and superintendence of Mr. Porter, whose character will give confidence to the public, and to the different in terests connected with railways, that the powers given by the Act will be exercised fairly and impartially. The only additional appointments under the Bill consist, we are informed, of a barrister, at a salary of 5001. per annum, to assist in the revision of bylaws, railway acts, and other important matters of a legal nature which will devolve upon the Board under the provisions of the Act, and to conduct the general business and cor respondence of the department under the superinten dence of Mr. Porter, and one junior clerk at a salary of 1001. a year. With regard to the business of inspection, it is not, we understand, the intention of Government in the first instance, and until more experience has been had of the working of the measure, to make any permanent appointment of an inspector-general, but to employ, from time so time, as occasion may arise, some officer of the Royal Engineers or other competent per son, to perform the duties of an inspector, at a fixed rate of remuneration. The whole permanent charge entailed upon the public, under these arrangements, will not, we are informed, exceed 8001. a year. It will no doubt be satisfactory to the numerous body, by whose energy and enterprise the great lines of internal com munication of the country have been established, to find that the Government is not influenced by a hostile spirit towards these great enterprises, and that, on the con trary, there is every intention and desire of proceeding with caution and moderation in the discharge of the new functions vested in them by the Legislature. (From the Times.) The ecstasy of the Ministerialists at having got safely to the end of this Session of Parliament exceeds all their former fits of exultation. The reaction from despair to rejoicing fairly throws them off their equili brium. In questions, however, concerning Parliamen tary strength—its increase or diminution on either side —the whole point at issue must be expressed by figures. We have taken the trouble to note down the progress of the Whigs, since their complete, and apparently permanent, settlement in power, by the first election under the Reform Bill. The history of these seven years, exhibiting the gradual decline of Whiggism, and con stant rise of the opponent principle, will furnish the best reply to the boastings of the Ministerial journals. The years 1831 and 1832 were years of transition. After the election in the spring of 1831, the Whigs had, indeed, a temporary ascendancy ; but they were well aware that their ground was not secure. Their majority was only gained by a popular excitement, and might be'expected, on the ebb of that feeling, to dwindle away. The Reform Bill, therefore, became the one great point at which they aimed, and they kept that point in view until complete success had crowned their exertions. By the secession of the opponew:s in the House of Lords the Whigs were enabled to carry their own plan of representation intact. They obtained " the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill." They thus insured themselves a House of Commons, planned and constructed by themselves. The first election fully answered all their expectations. It formed a House of Commons in which only about 150 Conservatives were found. Five hundred of its members professedly supported " the Reform Ministry," and of these fully 400 were stanch and obsequious adherents. When had any Adminis tration that England or the world ever saw commenced its career under circumstances so favourable ? "We shall be too strong!" was Lord Brougham's well-known exclamation. Strong, indeed, in every requisite for use ful action that Administration was. The King was heartily with the Cabinet ; the people had just shown their confidence by their electoral returns ; the Lower House was theirs by a majority altogether overwhelm ing ; the Peers cowered and waited, not in friendship, but almost in fear. What has become of that state of things ? Will the most exultant of the Ministerialists of 1840 venture to deny that the seven years which have elapsed have made a woful change, or that few things can offer a more striking contrast than the palmy estate of Whiggism in 1833, and its drooping and de spairing plight in 1840 ? (From the Morning Ilerald.) The Conservative cause in the country is a cause that has grown from comparative weakness into its present magnitude and power, not because, but in spite of the conduct of the leaders of the Opposition in Parliament. The Session just closed has particularly tried the inhe rent strength and vitality of Conservatism, not by the vigorous assaults of its enemies, but by the weak or treacherous compliances of its timid or pretended friends. If Conservatism outside the walls of Parlia ment not only survives the defection from its principles so often exhibited within, and even grows with still in creasing strength throughout the length and breadth of the land, it is owing to its having an existence rooted in the good sense, right feeling, and truly loyal and patriotic affections of the English people. Were the whole of the Opposition in Parliament to go over at once to the Whig camp, and, under the guidance of some political Maroto, to deliver up every one of the positions which they have solemnly vowed to defend, the power of Conservatism in the country would remain unabated—unbroken—undi minished. It would still present a wall of iron—a Spar tan rampart against the rushing tide of that destructive and infidel liberalism which threatens the most ancient, honoured, and sacred institutions of society with Vandal desolation. In an article bearing on the state and pros pects of Conservatism, in the Standard of last night, the following passage occurs :—" The Conservatives in Parliament might, again and again, have seized upon office, but they exercised thelwisest discretion in declin ing to do so, until they could assume the reins of Go vernment with honour and with a perfect understanding among themselves and with the Conservative people out of doors, because, otherwise, their tenure of the Government might be too brief to benefit the country. For whatever else the Conservative leaders may be thought worthy of blame, they are entitled to the highest praise for not taking office." If the Conserva tives in Parliament are possessed of all that abstinent virtue which causes "office" to look unlovely in their eyes, it must be admitted that their Whig adversaries have given them very little opportunity of reducing that virtue into practice. (From the Morninq Advertiser.) One of the most important public documents which have appeared in Scotland since the time of the memo rable solemn league and covenant entered into by the people of that country two hundred years ago, when their religion was placed in imminent peril by the en croachments of " Black Prelacy," has just been pub lished in the Edinburgh Papers. It is headed, " En gagement in Defence of the Liberties of the Church and People of Scotland," and is dated, " August, 1840." This most important document has already received the signatures of a large number of the most dis tinguished clergymen and laymen in the Scottish Church ; and we have no more doubt, from what we know of the feelings of Scotchmen on the subject, that it will be forthwith signed by the overwhelming ma jority of those who arc connected with the Northern Establishment, than that we now hold in our hand the pen that traces these lines. The document, indeed, may be said to be a second solemn league and covenant, and as the first " Engagement" entered into two centu ries ago on behalf of their religion, when put in jeopardy by an ambitious and tyrannical Episcopacy, averted the meditated destruction, not of Presbyterianism alone, but of all that is vital in the Gospel of Jesus—so we feel assured, that under the blessing of the Most High, the effect of this second solemn" Engagement" on behalf of a free-grace Gospel, will be the preservation and triumph of Evangelism in the bosom of the Scottish Church, at present menaced with extinction by an unholy alliance on the part of some of her professed children—illegi• timate children we must call them—with the civil power. The preamble of the document contains this solemn and momentous passage We, the under signed, ministers and elders, humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of our God, acknowledging his right eousness in all his ways, confessing our iniquities, and the iniquities of our fathers, mourning over the defec tions and short-comings which have most justly provoked his holy displeasure against this Church ; adoring at the same time his long-suffering, patience, and tender mercy, and giving thanks for the undeserved grace and loving-kindness with which he has visited his people and revived his cause ; under a deep sense of our own insufficiency, and relying on the countenance and blessing' of the great God and our Saviour ;— ar do dsso d i e tuo - . defendtl b oi e t r , a to t e maintainly thosepubfsuhi a i a a nd l our e ‘e nl fundamental declare actin:r our principles purpose p a l n e d s Eit a relative l i ne' to the Government of Christ's House, His Church on teoarctloi,nftoerw;v;l_iichprtilniceipCielsiu,r,ch of which we we conscientiously Scotland is n 0 v. calledbe lieve to be founded on the Word of God, recognised by the standards of that Church, essential to her inte grity as a Church of Christ, and inherent in her con - stitution as the Established Church of this land." These are solemn and decided resolutions. They are worthy of men who know and have received the truth ; and they are, in every respect, resolutions which the emergency of the case dealanei. PO ST.—Wo have received a communication from Messrs. Simpson and Cobb, the solicitors of the Portu guese Ambassador, complaining of our remarks on the late canceiment of bonds at the Bank of England. We have no intention of reflecting on the character of his Ex cellexcy and the financial agent in their private capacities, but, in discussing the proceedings of a foreign Govern ment, in which persons so circumstanced happen to be mixed up, it is often difficult to separate one party from the other—the Governments themselves from their re presentatives. The charge made against us of having given utterance to " scandalous libels" on the Portuguese Government, with reference to its loan transactions, is absurd. The trespasses of the Queen Donna Maria's advisers towards the foreign creditors of the nation have been so notoriously shameful that the complaint with many is that we have not gone far enough in our condemnation of them. Other journals may attempt to excuse Portugal by a fallacious interpretation of some of her more recent and unimportant money operations, but it is impossible to get rid of the fact that there are thirteen millions due from that nation to British capitalists, the payment of the dividends on about eleven millions of which (the portion not guaranteed by Brazil) has been suspended since 1836, the dividends to the home creditor having been paid during the whole of the period with as much punctuality as is the interest on our own Consols. If we have misstated the terms upon which the concealment of bonds on the 7th inst. was ef fected, and an intelligible explanation of the matter is sent to us, we shall be perfectly ready to introduce it into our columns. Wo can have no wish to do either the Por tuguese Government or its agents an injustice. In the meanwhile we present our readers with a copy of the let ter from Messrs. Simpson and Cobb to which we have made allusion. It will be found subjoined. PORTUGUESE BONDS. To THE PRINTER AND PUBLISHER OF THE MORNING POST. SIR,—We have been applied to by the Baron de Mon- corvo, as the Minister from her Most Faithful Majesty at this Court, and by the Chevalier de Paiva Pereira da Silva, az the financial agent in London, on the subject of the scandalous libels contained in your paper of the 10th and 13th inst., upon their characters, and also upon the Government of Portugal, and we are desired to intimate to you that we shall adopt such proceedings against you as we may be advised so soon as the state of the Courts permit us to do ss. In the meantime we request to be informed whether you will give up the name of the author of the libels in question ; and we cannot help expressing our surprise that any publication claiming the title of respectabilil should lend itself to the circulation of statements so utterly at variance with truth. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, SIMPSON and COBB. 11, Austin-friars, Aug. 13, 1840. HERALD.—The heaviness in the funds continues. and as it may be said almost in the same proportion as the chances of war, to judge from the tone of the French Mi nisterial press, appear to decline. Various rumours were in circulation of course to account for the large deprecia tion. The gentral impression was, that from the long continued sacrifices of the Bank to support the exchanges, to prevent the efflux, and at the same time to regain a stock of bullion, such an expenditure or loss bad been incurred that as a necessary consequence the rate of dividend must be reduced, if not the next time, for the future beyond, unless, so far as the amount would serve, the Rest were to he encroached upon and paid away in that shape. It is not impossible that such a contraction of dividends may be forced upon the Bank, for a time at least ; but although it is per fectly intelligible how the prices of the stock may be thereby affected for the time, yet it is equally clear that such a state of things may perfectly consist with a healthy state of Bank action and without really damaging the va lue or security of the stock beyond a momentary depres sion in its market price. The notice, however, that such an operation is now in course of preparation or adjustment as the disposal of the " dead weight," either by private treaty, or by bringing it to open market, appears to gain ground, and is even assigned as the leading cause of the depression of Bank Stock. It is not easy to understand why this should be the effect, independent of other cir cumstances of the day more likely to act upon its value for the time being. If the " dead weight "be disposed of or brought to market it does not follow that any instant ne cessity exists for the money proceeds, or that in fact they may ever be wanted in the shape of money. The causes of the decline of Bank Stock, as of the funds, must be sought elsewhere. That they are mainly referable to the political considerations of the day can hardly be doubted, for although the exchanges have not recovered in any ratio corresponding to the expectations and calcula tions on the faith of which the Bank undertook a direct and costly course of action upon them, and therefore in so far no great or proportionate advantage has been derived in the way of the inflow of bullion into the country so de sirable for replenishing the Bank coffers, yet neither has the condition of the Bank been deteriorated in that respect but the reverse to some extent, for it is now much better off than when those exchange operations were commenced. It seems scarcely probable that a demand to an amount so considerable as to excite serious uneasiness should arise for the export of gold in payment of imports of corn this year, in view of the very auspicious state of the season and the crops now ascertained in the country with tolerable certainty ; and not only here but in France, where harvests were contemporaneously deficient before, and therefore where the demand contributed to raise prices upon us in the great corn countries of the north and the Black Sea. The accounts of the corn harvest are indeed extremely favourable from all parts, both of Europe and America, where the surplus of s upply and the consequent cheapness of price must of course re-act upon prices here, directly or indirectly, according as the particular country is a constant or occasional importer, or an invariable exporter. I n d e . pendent of casualties aris in g from war, or probabilities of war, we must confess our own impression to be that ex• ports of goods and produce pr exchangeso gr e s in g , m h u o s w t ev e r s foreign gradually and slowly , that the pro portionately be restored to a more healthy state however arc diLtory the process may seem and is felt. Mr. JEkVIS stated the case on the first indictment, to the effect that John Williams was by trade a joiner, and had filled the office of a schoolmaster, and had also indulged in the casting of nativities. He had latterly lived with his parents at Tan-y-belch and Maentwreg ; and the other prisoner was a plasterer, an illiterate man, residing in Carnarvon. The prisoners, on the 31st of March, went to the Black Horse, Conway, kept by a man of the name of Roberts, and ascertaining that Roberts was not in, they asked for change of a 101. note, which Roberts's wife gave to them, and she deposited it in a cupboard. It was shown to her husband on his return home, who put it in the same place again. On the 7th of April it was presented for payment to Mr. T. H. Evans, spirit merchant, of Carnarvon, who was also a ma nager of a branch of the North and South Wales Bank, who told them that it was a genuine 51. Bank of England note, but that it had been most ingeniously altered to a " ten-pounder," and was consequently a for gery. On the examination Williams admitted the ut tering, but Lewis denied that he had been at Conway at all, either then or at any other time. (Mr. Jervis exhibited the note, which appeared to have been most in geniously metamorphosed from a Si. to a 101,, the large word " five" in the note being cut out, :and a piece of genuine bank paper cut off the end of the note and neatly pasted in the void, and the word " ten" stamped upon it. The word " five" in the body was erased, and "ten" stamped upon it. The water-mark "five" was neatly traced over, with pale Indian ink, and various devices were used to alter the face of the note, such as making marks and dates, such as appear on the face of bank-notes that have passed through several hands.) The Learned Counsel then stated, that there were eight cases of distinct utterings of genuine five-pound notes changed to tens by Lewis. With respect to the case against Williams, the Learned Counsel then stated, that early in the year Wil li ,ms and another man came to the Eagles, in Carnarvon, and slept there, and Lewis visited them, and subsequently the same parties stopped there again, and were again visited by Lewis. Williams professed to court the servant girl ; and in the middle of March he came alone, and told her he was goin g to Dublin, but he retui tied in three days with Lewi s ; and on the 14th of March he wrote to the servant (Mary Hughe) to say he should come to see her, and that tho man who usually called with him would let her know when ; and that man was Lewis. She answered the letter, but by the hand of a third party, and when these utterings were detected, Williams (through the direction of that letter) was followed and taken into custody, and, in consequence of what transpire:l, Mr. Grindley, an attorney's clerk, who had given good service to the detection of this forgery, went to the house of Lewis's father, and on the top of the bed found a horn writing case, in which were two horn dyes of s the word " ten," for altering the notes. Subsequently Wil hams gave up the key of his box, and in some books with Williams's name on them, marks on the horn dyes were foued, as if they had been tried. A cese of Indian ink, a camel's hair brush, and other articles used in completing the forgery, were found in his box also. These circum stances, the learned counsel contended, established collu sion in the parties, and that when the utterings took pace by Lewis, both parties were implicated, and bad a guilty knowledge that the note was forged paid to Mrs. Roberts, at Conway, being the subject matter of the first i indictment on which the prisoners were being tried. A host of witnesses were called to establish these facts. Verdict—Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, remarked on • the distinction between the cases, though he had no doubt but the prisoner Lewis was equally implicated in the for gery as Williams. With respect to the latter prisoner, it was within the knowledge of the Court that he had for a long time been pursuing a career of iniquity, and from the talent displayed by him, it was not safe that he should have the opportunity of again returning into society. The Court would take care that his punishment was of the most extreme character. The sentence upon him was, that he be transported for the space of his natural life, and to one of the penal settlements. With respect to the pri soner Lewis, there were some miti g ating circumstances in his conduct which weighed with the Court. Still a severe punishment was called for. The sentence of the Court was, that he be transported for the space of ten years. The reader will have been prepared, from the outline of the case stated above, for the very clever forgery; but un less the materials and the notes had been seen, only a very faint idea can exist of the ingenuity exercised. The dies must have been applied with the hand, and the dots round the larger " ten" were put in with a separate instrument. The deception was most complete, so much so, that we understand a forged note from the same manufactory found its way into the Bank of England, and was only detected by reference to the books. It is supposed that Williams had been at this trade from about the middle of last year, and had had various parties employed in putting them off. About seventy are known to have been in circulation, and the profit on each note to the putters-off was 385., leaving to Williams 31. 2s. on each note for his ingenuity. He is an old hand at thus transforming notes, as some years since he was in custody on a charge of converting a 1/. note into a 51., but escaped. A handbill was then issued, offering a reward for his apprehension, which was this day produced in Court. His talents appear to be some what varied and not confined to this branch. Since his confinement he has been constantly plotting schemes to escape from custody. lie was given some hemp to pick, and managed to abstract a small quantity each day. Un fortunately for him, Mr. George, the gaoler, weighed the article both when given out and returned, and, conse quently, was aware something was going on. He also ascertained that Williams did not go to bed when locked up in his cell. After the lapse of a few days he searched his person, and found a very neat rope-ladder round his body, manufactured out of the purloined hemp. He then put the ingenious rogue in irons, and he contrived by constant friction to wear them so as to render it a compara ctiovuerlysee,asayfttearskthtoesebreparkootfsheomf o h ff is h d i e s t l e i r rn m b i s na a t n i d on bo to dy r . ega O in f his liberty, if possible, he is constantly watched. VIDLAND CIRCUIT- WARWICK, AUG. 13. BuSANQUET V. BOLTON AND OTHERS. Captain Barnet—lt might do so. The mate got in structions to put everything down, but I have not the log here. I admit at once that I have punished the lad for bad conduct, but I deny altogether that I punished him severely, and it would be impossible to do anything in a ship if apprentices were to have their own way. The LORD MAYOR—In what condition was the boy when he deserted the ship Captain Barnet—ln excellent condition, and per fectly sound in every respect. As soon as I found that he was gone, I went off to the Consul, who immediately ordered a search, and it was found that he had gone up the mountains. The LORD MAYOR—TO what do you attribute his desertion ? Captain Barnet—The place is full of dissi pation. It abounds with grog-shops, and the owners encourage seamen to desert, in order that they may have the profit of their company, and of supplying their places with other hands. I lost seven or eight men, and I was obliged to engage four. No doubt this boy will come home by and by. William Blake, one of the men summoned by Mrs. Mellon to give evidence, stated that he had joined the ship in 18;36, and of course knew Arthur Mellon, her son. Did not know why the lad had left the ship, but had seen bias frequently flogged with a cat of-nine tails. The LORD MAYOR—HOW did the lad conduct him self ? Blake—l can't give him the best of characters. The LORD MAYOR—DO you know for what he was punished ? Blake—No. The LoitD MAvolt—\Vas it the ordinary punish went inflicted for the disobedience of orders or offences of that class? Blake—l don't know. The Captain best knows what it was for. Mrs. Mellon (to Blake)—You're afraid to speak out. You told me that he was most cruelly beaten by the Captain, that he was half-murdered and half-starved. Blake—No, no, I did not. The LORD MAYOR—Were you on short al:owance Blake—Ne; or. The LORD MAYOR—And had the lad a regula al lowance ? Blake—He had the same as the Mrs. Mellon—You told me he had only three pounds and a half of bread a week, and that he was half-killed, I never deviate from the truth ; as sure as God is above us, you told me that. The LORD MAYOR—Was the punishment excessive ? Blake—l've seen him flogged several times. _ _ Mr. Hobler—You know one another's faults, what was he flogged for ? Blake—The Captain best knows, I can't say. Mr. Hobler—You know perfectly well. It is absurd to say that you saw a boy brutally flogged without knowing why. _ The LORD Maron —Flow many ran away? Blake— Three deserted from the ship. The Loan NlAYoa—ls so large a desertion unusual ? Blake—Certainly it is unusual. Blake, in answer to questions from a gentleman who attended on the part of the owners, admitted that he had himself been put under arrest by the Captain, and that he had brought an action against the Captain, in which he was defeated.

William Weygood, the other seaman summoned by Mrs. Mellon, stated that ha too had seen the boy flogged several times. The plaintiff represented the London and Westminster Bank ; the defendants were sued as partners of the Lea mington Bank. A judgment had been obtained against the latter bank for 13,0004, but the defendants sought to protect themselves from the judgment by alleging they were not partners at the time it was obtained. The bank in question first commenced business on the 11th of May, 1835, and suspended payments on the 12th of July, 1837. The defence, in the first instance was, that the defen dants, or one of them, was not a partner at the time in question, he having neglected to pay up his calls, so that a forfeiture had taken place. It was also made a ground of defence that the defendant Bolton bad transferred his shares a day or two before the bank suspended its opera tions, and therefore that he had no further interest in its concerns. It was, however, proved in the cross-examina tion of the defendants' witnesses that the proper and usual course had not been observed in the transfer, and that, notwithstanding such transfer. Bolton had always been served with the usual letters to attend special and annual meetings. The CHIEF JUSTICE said there was no use in letting the case go to the Jury. He should decide the objections at present in favour of the plaintiff, reserving leave to the de fendants to move to enter a nonsuit. Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Hill and Mr. Humfrey ; for the defendants, Mr. Sergeant Goulburn and Mr. Hayes. The Lord MAYOR—Did you consider that he de served to be flogged ? Weygood—Sometimes I thought he did. The LORD MAYoß—What were his vices or his faults ? Weygood—He was rather dirty. Mrs. Mellon—Never in his life. My poor boy was never dirty. If he WAS turned dirty, he must have been beaten into stupidity. He never was so at home. The LORD MAYOR—W hat sort was his temper and conduct ? Weygood—Not good. CORNWALL MARKETS.

The LORD MAYOR said that he had no reason to be lieve that the Captain had acted with cruelty, or de served the reproaches of Mrs. Mellon, for whose feel ings, however, every allowance was to be made. It was, his Lordship considered, important to both parties that the investigation had been entered into at the Mansion-house, as the complainant received assurance of her son's health, and the probability of his safe and speedy return, and the Captain was acquitted of unwar runtabie severity. ° A t ,lo j n . um l% e ra n t. t ri y , ; k ar , d t , surgeon., MARRIED. ,of On the Ist inst., at Plumstead church, C.

Yesterday Sir George Cockburn appeared before Mr. Hall to prefer a complaint against Wm. Higgins, driver of a cabriolet, No. 112, for demanding and taking from him an illegal fare. It appeared that on Monday, the 10th inst. the complainant called the cab at Morley's Hotel, Charing Cross, and having kept it for about three hours trans acting business in different parts of town, he, upon dis charging the defendant, asked what his demand might be, when in a very civil manner he said that he would prefer charging by time rather than by distance, and his demand was seven shillings as he had been occu pied three hours and a half. The complainant differed with him as to the time, for at the utmost it could not be more than three hours, and as to the charge he could not be entitled to such a sum, but he expressed his willingness to pay that sum, with the understanding that ho would taka out a summons. He was then asked for his list of -rates and fares, which he could not produce. Complainant said he considered it would be attended with great benefit to the public if such an arrangement was made among hackney coachmen, as is the case in Dublin, where it was found to work well. Mr. HALL inquired if any person happened to be with the complainant at the time ? Sir G eorge —Oh, I h ave no witness except my little grandson, and he has gone to school.—(A laugh.) In answer to the charge, the defendant said he was quite ill looking after the gentleman to make an apology We understand that there are no less than four hundred and sixty new voters on the overseers' lists this year in Brighton.—Brighton Gazette. SEATON.--TH E CONVULSION AT BENDON CLIFFS, AND PROBABLE DISCOVERY OF A VALUABLE COP , PER M INE .—A recent inspection of t his interesting pheno menon by a n intelligent C orn i s h miner, belonging to the Basset mine, noar Odruth, seems to opon a new field for research ; the resu l t o f a m i nute ex amination produced on his mind a firm conviction that the disturb an c e had b een ecasioned by the explosion of a lode of copper ore, symp. toms of whi c h, he said, were apparent in every direction. Specimens for essay have been sent to the Mining Com pany, and w hi c h he has pronou nced to be exceedingly rich, He has no doubt but the lode is extensive, and at no great depth. If in addition to the fac ts which h ave bean al rea d y too evident to suppose the cause (so posi_ tively insisted up on b y our l earne d ge ologists verbally, and by mechanical exhibition) to have originated through the combined influence of rain and fox-mould—if, we say, cop. per ore should be produced in tolerable abundance, cause and effect cannot have b een un d e rstood, and theory, how t ver beautiful it may be to intelligent minds, must submit. Shonld the speci mens turn out accor di n g to expectati on , this convulsion, hitherto deemed so disastrous to the pro prietors of the disturbed lands may be the means of dis clt.sing an inexhaustible source of invaluable wealth.— Sherborne Journal, DIED. of q" On the Bth inst., at Bromley, Ke'at s G.

KOBER The two Tory papers of this county, mortified and disappointed that the sentence against Mr. Roberts was not carried oat to its fullest extent, have endeavoured to raise a prejudice against him, because bis release was hailed with joy by hundreds of persons at Trowbridge ; .Ind have pointed him out a fit person to be again made the victim of legal proceedings, by insinuating that the first use he made of his liberty was to recommence a system of agitation against that Government which had remitted his punishment. The following letter to Lord Normanby shows how just those insinuations were, and what part Mr. Roberts really took in the proceedings. —Wilts Independent. "My Lord—l trust your Lordship will pardon my intrusion on your time in most sincerely thanking you for the remission of the remaining portion of my see tenoe. To this I owe the possibility of regaining my health, which, though seriously impaired, is not, I trust, irretrievably injured. "There is a circumstance connected with my release which I have no doubt will be unfavourably represented to your Lordship. Immediately on ray discharge (three o'clock on Tuesday), 1 was anxious to get home. There was no conveyance to Bath till midnight ; but a coach to Trowbridge was going 33 lades on my way, leaving me `it A it ten more to accomplish. By this I proceeded and 7eached Trowbridge by nine o'clock in the evening. I then procared a gig for the remainder of my jcuroey, and, while it was being got ready, I went to a frie.sd's host.se to take some refreshment. In the mean itme, the fact of my release spread through the town like wiMfire, and some hundreds came to congratulate me. To restrain them was utterly impossible ; they were mad with joy ; my appearance was regarded as the forerunner of a general release of all political pri soners. The general joy was ungovernable, and they insisted on accosopanying me for about two miles on my read home, siuging and cheering the greatest part of the way. " Now, my Lord, I cannot help fearing that the above will be unfairly represented to your Lordship. It will be said, in few words or many, that I sought the first moment of my release to create fresh excitement ; the circumstances tend to that conclusion, and I have no meat=s of proving its untruth. My assertion, however, will have its weight. I assure your Lordship, that the strong desire of my heart was to reach home as speedily and quietly as possible. I knew that my only chance of life de pended upon my avoidance of all excitement, for a Jong time to come. If I had had the slightest idea of the commotion to be produced by my appearance, I should certainly have waited in Salisbury for the night coach, or have travelled by a different road ; but the idea never entered my head. The circumstances mill, there is no doubt, be twisted and hammered into an argument against the release of others to whom your Lordship might be favourably disposed. The knowledge of this grieves me beyond my power of expression. I trust, however, that your Lordship will be satisfied with my statement. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's much obliged servant, " W. P. ROBERTS. 4' 13,ah, July 9, 1840." " Home-office, July 10, 1840. alit,—The Marquis of Normanhy directs me to acisoowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th in stant, explaining the circumstances which occurred upon our .r2leaae, and to inform you his Lordship is sensible „f t h e right feeling which induced you to write that letter. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) "S. M. PHILLIPS." FUNERAL OF MR.
