The Polling commenced yesterday at Nine, and was kept up with great spirit during the day.

Constitaticnal Spain has gloriously triumphed over the cruel pretensions of absolutism, and over that obstir ate horrible war, which for the last six years has been an outrage to humanity—to the shame of the principles put forward by the Carlist faction. The inhabitants of the Northern Pro vinces, as must have been clearly seen, nowise belonged to that faction. They have thrown off its yoke, and sent off the Pretender, when a six years' ruinous and bl ,ody expe rience had shown them the Government and men that their efforts and sacrifices were to force upon Spain. A recent attempt was made to excite insurrection in the above-men tioned Provinces, arid its total failure clearly proved that the hour of pence had struck for Spain. The civil war is now vanquished. A certain degree of agitation will doubtless prevail for some time, after such a long and furious struggle. There will doubtless be isolated bands for some time to come ; and there will be, ae there have ever bsen in Spain, banditti disguising their pursuits under a political name. All this may take place, but Carlism is put down; the na ion is every where becoming strongly attached to the authority of the Queen, to peace; to its la ow institutions; and this noble country seems to have derived fresh virility from the commotions it has under gene, and which, as it were, have given additional vigour to the genius of the nation, by calling into play its con stancy and warlike character. The army has nobly maintained its old Castilian reputa tion, and has more than once deserved the eulogy of Eu rope. Obliged, three years ago, to evacuate Navarre, to withdraw behind the Ebro, nay, were behind the Douro and under the walls of Madrid, threatened by Don Carlos in person, exhorted by his faithful and sa..- guinary Cabrera, the army and its chiefs never despaired of their just cause, which was that of liberty and civili sation ; and they have constantly been seen to re pair their disasters and support the greatest privations ith wonderful constancy, while the patient courage, sobriety, ant vigorous energy which so eminently characterise the Spanish soldier enabled them to surmount the most terrible difficulties. The sieges of Castellote and Morella, accomplished in spite of the great severity of the lesson, in the midst of mountains, at tat time almost im practicable, and notwithstanding the extraordinary accumu lation of difficulties, obstacles, and fortifications of overy kind, fully prove the great talent of Marshal Espartero and the courage of his troops. The journal of the two sieges also shows that the scientific part of the art of war is successfully cultivated in Spain ; and the divers details respecting the manoeuvres of the artillery aed engineers are the more ho nourable for the officers of those corps on account of the great mental resources and warlike inventions requisite to reduce such irregular and abrupt fortresses, protected by the most wonderful obstacles and unforeseen accidents, and seated on a rock. To fortresses like these the ordinary routine of siege could not be applied. While thus em ployed the whole army of Cabrera were unable to dis cover a weak point for attack, so skilfully had Marshal Es "tarter° adopted tactics suitable to such warfare. He always contrived to keep his troops in large masses; with out exposing any detachment to danger, and defeating every surprise attempted by the enemy, was already strong to crush or repel every hostile corps that dared ad. vance. By this means be successively deprived Cabrera of all his fortresses, in spite of an obstinate resistance, which could not do otherwise than yield to the methodical though vigorous plan adopted by the Spanish General. Cabrera, who had been so long suffering fr3m typhus, appeared about a month since at the head of the remains of his army Without awaiting the fall of Morella, and without taking any vigorous measure to succour that for tress, 4sc abandoned the troops therein to the mercy of the Constitutionalists, and hastened to cross the Ebro, in order to prise into Catalonia, where he is at the present moment, and whence be will most probably endea vour to get into Frauce. He has just satisfied his thirst for blood at Berge on the members of the insurrec tioeal junta, who had caused the assassination of the Count d'Espagne, a chief no less ferocious than him self. It was pretended that this last chief was about to treat for peace ; that the junta on that account had ordered him to be arrested ; and that Cabrera, autho rised £0 to do by Don Carlos, had ordered him to be put to death. The ;Pretender, inasmuch ;as he was concerned, gave orders for this assertion to be contra• dieted in a Carlist paper. The death of the Count d'Espagne could have personally inspired but little regret to Cabrera, who was considered by him as a met e par venu. In fact, Cabrera must have been delighted at not finding him in Catalonia, wilco he was obliged to take refuge in that principality, for the Count d'Espagne, equally despotic and sanguinary as himself, would not have allowed him to assume the authority he did as soon as he entered Catalonia. Cabrera, in punishing his murderers, has had the threefold pleasure of appearing as an avenger of crime, of shedding blood, and of ridding himself of a junta which might have im peded his tyrouny. Murderers, judges, and victims have alike pillaged and devastated the country in the most barbarous manner. The unfortunate inhabitants hope that Cabrera will not succeed in escaping with life and fortune, SPIRIT bf the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) Sir Robert Inglis's motion on Church Extension was brought on last night, under circumstances which indicate most' forcibly the influence of party bonds on those who constitute the Opposition. The opinion of the leaders of the party was expressed on the 16th, when the motion was shirked by the direct interposition of the newly-appointed •' whipper-out," whose peculiar duties are specified by his designation. Sir R. Inglis is not a man to be shaken from his pur pose ; nor may he be cut with impunity by the party he has long consistently and zealously supported. His ecclesiastical mania may plunge him into extravagan cies exceedingly embarrassing to that party ; but the Church is Sir Robert's hobby, and he must be indulged when disposed to exhibit his skill ;n riding it. Com pulsion, not conviction, prevailed in obtaining for the Hon. Baronet, a respectable number of supporters on the division ; but even political gratitude, for past sup port and future aid, was not sufficiently powerful to induce them to listen to his speech. Not more than twenty of those who supported the motion were present to hear the harangue by which it was prefaced, and on which the necessity for large additional pecuniary aid to the Established Church, by increasing the already heavy burdens of the people, was enforced. Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, Lord Stanley, and indeed every man of note among the Tories, manifested their opinion of the inexpediency of the proceeding in the present temper and circumstances of the country : they declined to pay Sir R. Inglis that common compliment of party courtesy on this exhibition of his chef d'ccurre—with one consent they desire to be excused (From the Couricr.) In the Peers' House Lord Melbourne moved the second reading of the Canada Government Bill in a speech of considerable ability. Our own opinions upon the reunion of the two Provinces under one legislature and action of government have been fully and freely ex pressed on various occasions, and especially during the progress of this Bill through the Lower House. The summary of our conclusions may be briefly repeated as amounting to this ; that however objectionable in various points of view, and however fatal of omen for the durability of the dependent connexion of the Canadas with the mother country, yet that it had be come an absolute necessity arising out of the notorious mismanagement and misgovernment of the Ministers themselves, and, as such, at whatever peril present or contingent, must be submitted to and made the best of. Lord Melbourne, indeed, pretended to justify it by the citation of opinions expressed in the provinces and in the House of Commons in favour of the measure, which came conveniently to aid as a cloak under which Ministerial misrule and incapacity might probably es cape unchastised. (From the Standard.) The debate in the House of Lords last night, on the Canada Government Bill, holds out no very pleasant prospect. The Bill, as our readers are aware, proceeds upon the basis of a legislative union of the provinces ; and the chief argument by which it is recommended is the necessity of overcoming the hostile disposition of the members of the Lower Province by a prepon derating influence, to be exercised b 3 the representa tives of Upper Canada, who, it is expected, will concur with the few well-disposed in Lower Canada to maintain the British connection. We do not impugn the value of a legislative union under other circum stances, but it is impossible for any reflecting man riot to see the fallacy of the hypothesis upon which the hope of success for the present mea sure is founded. To say nothing of the anomaly of a Legislative Assembly, advisedly constructed, because of the necessary repugnance of its constituent members, or of the impossibility that such an Assembly can ever form a body fitted for coy purpose of positive utility. What ground is there fur elpecting even the negative service of not promoting a separation of the provinces from the British empire ? It is admitted by the hypo thesis that a considerable proportion of the representa tives of Lower Canada will be disaffected to the British Crown—that a compact body, united by race, by reli gion, and by what they believe to be their peculiar inte rest, must find its way into the united Legislative As sembly. Such a party, acting steadily and craftily as it will act, must in the end command any assembly into which it shall be admitted. after such a series of unheard of crimes and extortions. The cruel Balmaseda, another chief who refused the offer of peace that was made him after the retreat of Don Carlos, and who preferred acting the part of 'a banditti chief, has been obliged to escape to the very frontiers of France. He had availed himself of the siege of Morella, and of the concentration of Espartero's troops on that point, to advance close to Burgos. He had become the terror of Old Castile, be had even crossed the Douro, and during some days had excited some alarm by his bold excursion at the •riomcnt that the Queen was proceeding to Saragossa. But two Gene rals hastened to attack him, and he was soon obliged to cross the Ebro to seek retreat in Navarre. There he hoped, but in vain, to excite insurrection, but the inhabi tants had had teo much of these plundering chiefs, and Balmaseda was unable to stand his ground. Ile has been obliged to advance towards the Pyrenees, and we see by the telegraphic despatch that a large number of troops has entered France as fugitives. It is in the midst of these happy events that the Queen Regent has reached Saragossa, whence she will proceed to Catalonia, which is now occupied by lispartero's army. The health of the young Queen is the motive assigned for this tour, which cannot fail having a beneficial effect on the provinces thrctigh which the Royal travellers will pass, as the population will see that the cause of the Constitution Is gained by the young Queen and her mother thus pro ceeding through their dominions, It is also worthy of remark, that it was from the mo ment when Spain no longer relied on an intervention, when the opinion of the Cgetes was announced hostile to the measure, that the re,oureei, of the nation, which were reckoned insufficiet.;‘, manifested themselves on all sides; the guld and t,!..41 soldiers of the country alone provided for and recruited the army, and thus the victory which has been a,,t4laed is decidedly a national one. .NrA LI BRA N'S PENCHANT FOR PORTER.--- Nlnlibran had borne along the true first acts on the first night of performance of The Maid of Artois in such a fhod of triumph that she was bent, by some almost superhuman effort to continue its glory to the final fall of the certain. I went into her dressing-room previous to the commencement of the third act, to ask how she felt and she replied, Very tired, but," ( an d h ere h er eye of fire - suddenly lighted np) " you angry devil, if yon will con trive to get me a pint of porter in the desert scene, you shall have an encore to your finale." Had I been dealing with any other performer, I should, perhaps, have hesitated i n com plying with a request that might have been dangerous in its application at the moment; but to check her powers was to annihilate them. I therefore arranged that behind the pile of drifted sand on which she falls in a state of ex haustion, towards the close of the second scene, a small aperture should be made in the stage ; and it is a fact, that from underneath the stage, through that aperture, a pewter pint of poster was conveyed to the parched lip of this rare child of song ; which so revived her after the terrible ex ertioa the ace ie led to that she electrified the audience, and ha - 1, strength to repeat the charm, with the finale to the Maid or ifetoie. The novelty of the circumstance so tickled her fancy, and the draught itself was so extremely refreshing, that it was arranged during the subsequent run of the opera, for the negro slave at the head of the Governor's processio n to have in the guard suspended to his neck the same quantity of the same beverage, to be applied to her lips on his first beheliiin g the apparently dying Lsoline.— The Stage BeAre and Behind the Curtain. ROYAL TRADESMEN.—Near Cumee is the !alga of Fuser°, where the pleasure of the excursion, to some travellers, finishes with a feast of oysters, fir which this lake is famous. It belongs to a very distinguished oyster monger— the King of the Two Sicilies—whose agents open the fish and !supply the visitor:. They do strange things in this way in Italy. At Rome, the Cardinal Doria used to be the milkman to those who chose to send to palace for the necessary ar ticle to the ten-drinkin7 . - 2, na li s h ; an d at N ap l es, the only good butterman is :slajesty ; and these who wish to have this article gent! . .ne send to the Court for it, whence it is issued, impre; 6 od with the Royal arms. His Majesty is also the chief or Only dealer in gunpowder, salt, tobacco, &c. &c. THE FRENCH AND PLUNI•PUDDING.—NO prejudice can be stronger than that of the French against plum puddine.. A Frenchman will dress like an Englishman, swear like an Englishman, and get drunk like an Englishraan ; but if yen would offend him for ever, compel him to eat plum-pud ding. A caw of the leading restaurateurs, wishing to ap pear extraordinary, have "plumb-pooding" upon tleir cartes, oat in no instance is it ever ordered by a IrFrichinan. Everybody has heard the story of St. Louis—Negri Quatre, or whoever else it might be—who wishing to regale the E ng li s h Ambassador on Christmas day ,one, with a plum-puddi ng , p rocure d a n excellent recipefor rnak . which he ga ve t o hi s coo k, with strict injunctions that it should be prepared with due attention to all the particulars. The weight of the ingredients, the size of the copper, the quan tity of water, the du ra ti on o f ti m e, everything was attended to, except one trifle—the king f org ot the cloth, and the pudding was served up like so much sou p, in immense tureens, to the i sarprise of the Ambassador, who was, however , too well - bred te express his astoniehment.-- Every-Day Book. On the arrival of the Ditian diligence at Nantes, on Monday last, an Englishman alighted, who was about six feet in height, and calling to the attendant at the office, desired he would take care of his little brother, whom he had left in side. The worthy , official mounted the steps, expecting to re eeive a child in his arms, but to his astonishment saw a " bit of a baby" come forth, measuring full seven feet ! The United Kingdom, a large ship, built last year in our American Colonies, arrived at Liverpool a few days ago from Charleston, with the following enormous cargo:- 3,288 bales of cotton, 693 barrels of tar, 820 barrels of turpen bine , and ether minor artie t le;, materials which, if piled in shape, might be made to resemble no inconsiderable village. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 1. THE ATTORNEI•GENERAL V. DANIELS. The arguments on behalf of the defendants in this case were concluded to-day, and The VICE-CHANCELLO2, without calling upon Mr. Bruce to reply, gave judgment, granting the injunction asked by the plaintiffs, at the same time acquitting the defendants of any intention of doing wrong in the course they had pursued. The course they had adopted, was, however, illegal, and it was therefore the duty of the Court to interfere. He must therefore grant the injunc tion asked by the plaintiffs. The effect of this decision is to prevent the defendants, who form part of the Vestry of Marylebone, from raising 25,000/. upon the security of the parish-rates. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JULY 1 THE QUEEN V. MYERS, ADAMS, SOLOMONS, PHILLIPS, AND MUSTERS. In this trial, which was not concluded yesterday when our Paper went to Press, the case for the prose cution being closed, the jury at once came to the conclu sion, with which his Lordship concurred, that there was no case against tha defendants, and immediately re turned a verdict of acquittal. SURREY QUARTER SES S IONS GUILDFORD, JULY 1. Before tho Rev. Mr. ON SLOW, Convener, and other Justices.) Miss Courrs's SelTOß.—lt svill be remembered that a short time ago Mr. Richard Dunn, the barrister, whose name has been frequently before the public, on account of his assiduities to Miss Burdett Coutts, at tended at Union Hall police-office, to prefer a charge of assault against some parties connected with the Park Hotel at Norwood, the assault having taken place in consequence of Mr. I)unn's attempting to obtain an in terview with the lady %%bile she was staying with her father, Sir Francis Burdett, at that establishment. Upon that occasion, the parties were bound in recog nizances to answer any charge that might be preferred against them at these sessions. Mr. Dunn yesterday applied to the Court, and re questec: that the defendants might be called upon their recogu'zances, in order that he might know whether they were prepared to take their trial. He said he should also wish to know whether Sir Francis Burdett, and other parties for who►n he had obtained subpoenas to attend on his behalf, were in attendance upon the Court. The CitatamaN said that the application was irre• gular. The case in question was a misdemeanour, and it would not come on before the felonies were disposed of, and they would certainly occupy the whole of the day. Mr. Dunn said he had another application to make to the Court, which was that it would cause fresh subpcenas to be issued for the attendance of Sir Francis Burdett, and other gentlemen, and that the oflicer of the Court should proceed forthwith to London, and serve them personally, as he (Mr. Dunn) had hitherto been unable to do so. He was exceedingly anxious that those persons should attend, in order that his character might be vindicated, and that was the only object he had in the present prosecution. The Magistrates said that they had nothing to with the motives that influenced him in carrying on the prose cution, and they could only proceed in the regular way. With respect to the subpceuas, if Mr. Dunn wished to have fresh ones, he was, of course, entitled to them, but as to allowing their officer to have the summons for the purpose of serving them upon the parties in London, that wa3 quite out of the question. Mr. Dunn said he was very anxious that his charac ter should be cleared up, and Sir Francls Burdett could give material evidence in his behalf. He had not been able to serve him personally with a subpoena, and he was afraid that he would not attend. Tne COURT said that if he was not prepared with his evidence, the proper course would be upon affidavit, to move for a postponement of the trial , . The Court would not take any further steps in the matter. Mr. Dunn then said that as the trial would probably occupy a considerable time, he should be glad if it could be fixed for Thursday morning. Mr. LOCK, who, with Mr. Chambers, is instruc'ed on behalf of the defendants, said he would not consent to any particular time being fixed, but in the state of the business, it was not likely that it could by any chance come on before the middle of the day on Thurs day.. _ _ .Tll3 COURT then directed that the trials should come on in due course, and Mr. Dunn retired. Thomas Edward ilal.4r, aged 17, was indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, value 301., the property of Miss Margaret Jane Taylor, a lady residing at Kingston. Mr. Jemmett conducted tho prowcution. The facts of the case have recent:) , appeared. The prisoner, it will be remembered, when pursued, jumped into the river, and attempted to make his oscape by swimming. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the Court sentenced him to be transported for ten years. PERAECITTION OF THE JEWS.—A meeting of the Manchester Hebrew As,ociation, and the congregati on , and other members of the Jewish. faith , was held in the large loom at the York 11,4,1 last evcniug, for the purpose of con sidering what steps should be taken in reference to the perse cution now raging against the Jesss in the Est. The meeting was attended by about eighty of the principal members of the Jewish persuasion in this town. Resolutions were agreed to, and subscriptions entered into.

It is, therefore, not the mere state of wetness :hat causes the evil, but the check to perspira tion, and the unequal distribution of the blood to which the accompanying coldness gives rise.—Coiae, CONSISTORY COURT. WHITE AND JACKSON v. BEARD. Dr. LUSIIINGTON gave sentence in this case, which was a suit for subtraction of Church -rate, by the Churchwardens of Coggeshall, Essex, against Mr. W. Beard, a parishioner. The amount of rate sued for was 3Ti. 9d., and it was resisted on various grounds of alleged inequality. . . The Le ancd JUDGE began by lamenting the absence of authorities, either in elementary writers or decisions of Courts, that could throw any light upon the definite principles which should govern his judgment in this case. This Court had no power to amend a Church- rale, and where a rate was resisted it must either pro nounce it nu'l and void, or for its validity altogether. The rate sued for in the present case was trifling in amount, anti it the party succeeded in his resistance to it, and received costs, they could not idntifv him for the trouble and expense he would have incurred. But regretting, as Le did, that so long a litigation should ha: c taken place respecting so small a sum, the party had a right to dispute the rate if he had a legal defence, and by acquiescing in a rate of small amount made upon an erroneous principle he might furnish a prima facie proof of the equality of a rate similarly made of larger amount. Not only were the authorities barren of infor:na tion a; to the principles which should guide the Court, but the only statute in which the sli!zhtest degree applied to Church-rate—tile 5Sd George 111., c. 127—referred merely to the cell( ction of the rate, not to the mode of makin , ,..* it, or to the principles which should gavern any difficulties. The first and leading principle upon which Church-rates stood he apprehended to be this — that the rate should be jest and equal, which Sir William Wynne said was a " truism," and which was strongly affirmed by fir John Nichol!. Then the question was, whether the facts of the case showed that the rate was unequal. The meaning of an " unequal rate" was thi's—that some party had a right to complain that there was demanded of him more than he ought to pay under a just assessment. And an assessment might be unjust in various ways ; as where a party who ought to be rated was omitted ; or where a party was rated at less than a fair valua tion. In these cases it was clear that the other pa rishioners were unequally rated. But there would be scarcely a parish in the kingdom in which a Church-rate could not be overturged, if the Court were to decide against the validity of the rate, in consequence of the omission of one or two names. Again, no rate could stand if the value at which each tenement was assessed were to he examined with a nice and careful scrutiny. A doctrine true in itself might be pushed to such an extremity that no rate in the country could stand. He apprehended that there must be some lima, and the only limit was to be found in the exercise of a fair and just discretion on the part of the Court. He was aware that it was said there could not be a more dangerous principle than that of leaving a discretion to the Court to determine what amount of omissions, what quantum of error, was sufficient for the purpose of invalidating a rate. But, in the absence of direct authorities, this Court must, like others, in the exer cise of its jurisdiction, according to the best of its skill and ability, administer justice with discretion. The ob jections to the rate in the present case were three fold : first, that certain property has been wholly omitted ; secondly, that landlords have be :.. , n rated instead of occupiers ; and thirdly, that paupers are ex cused. Now, if property which ought to be rated is omitted, the rate necessarily becomes unequal ; but it. does not therefore follow that thereby any great hard ship is imposed on any individual, because the omission may be so trifling as not to damage an individual to the fractional part of the smallest coin. Again, the omis sions may be justifiable ; for he should hold, under the decision of the Judicial Committee in the Kensington case, that a rate should not be disturbed because paupers were omitted. With regard to assessing landlords in• stead of tenants and occupiers, that was undoubtedly a great error, for although some landlords might be will ingrated, and although it might be convenient to to rate be theminstead of occupiers, a rate should be so made that it might be enforced if resisted. With re gard to the total emissions, he was of opinion that the Court must look at the quantum, and lie hod no hesi tation in saying that the property which had been omitted had excited the greatest anxie'y in the mind of the Court. With regard to general omissions, he was of opinion that a grave error had been committed by the churchwardens, and the diffi culty he had was, whether under all the circumstances the amount omitted was so great that he was bound by law to pronounce the entire rate null, and void. It ap peared that the value of rateable property was about 7,0001. ; what the precise amount of property not rated was, he confessed he had great difficulty in ascer taining. The property rated to landlords lie took at 132/., the property omitted at 60/., the paupers, 161. he dismissed from consideration. The difference which this mode of rating made to the defendant was about a half-penny. Were errors to such an extent sufficient to induce the Court to pronounce against the validity of the rate ? Unless these errors affected the interests of the parishioners, he should with the deepest reluct ance find himself compelled to overturn a Church -rate; because Church-rates being fully established by law, it would ill become any court to destroy the validity of a rate by taking advantage of such minute circumstances. There had been a case in the Court of Queen's Bench, in which that Court had refused to quash a rate where illegal items of small amount had been defrayed out of it, thereby adopting the principle, that where the parishioners had not been actually aggrieved in consequence of the introduction of improper items, the Court would abstain from quash ing the rate. On the whole, though the question was not without doubt, he thought the errors were not suffi cient to induce him to pronounce the rate invalid. With regard to the costs, he thought there were many reasons why he should not condemn the defendant in the costs. There had been irregularities of a serious description, and, if a parishioner chose to resist the rate, he was en titled to the fullest information in the answers of the churchwardens, who should set forth the whole of the facts and circumstances. He hoped that by attention in future on the part of churchwardens, and by a due consideration of the difficulties with which the case was environed, the Court might be relieved from the pain ful necessity of having again to adjudicate on a sum of 3s. 9,id. Ile pronounced for the rate, but he made no order as to costs. fAi 44 3:27 67 27 2)!-; 3 23 2n) " - - That the alleged offence for which your petitioner was condemned the second time was committed previ ous to the first offence, and in the same county ; and your petitiocer solemnly declares, that at all the public meetings he attended, he was solely engaged getting up petitions praying for a reform of your honourable TORTURE IN ENGLAND.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) TUESDAY, JUNE 30. CHURCH EXTENSION, House. That your petitioner was removed from Monmouth Gaol to the General Penitentiary, Milbank, on the Bth of April 1840, and was there degraded by being com pelled to wear the garb of a convict, and being subject in every way to the discipline by which the convicts are governed. That your petitioner was removed to the county gaol of Rutland on the 9th of Juno 1840 ; is living upon the common felons' food , which consists of gruel, bread, potatoes, and three ounces and a half of uncooked meat daily, which your petitioner finds to be insufficient t o restore and sustain his lost health and strength. Your petitioner a l so complains that he is not allowed t h e use of a knife, but is obliged to tear his food with his fingers ; and is not allowed the free use of books. Your petitioner therefore prays your Honourable House to take his case into your serious consideration. HENRY VINCENT, Now confined in the county gaol of Rutland, Most respectfully showeth—That your petitioner was removed to the county gaol of Rutland on the 9th of June 1840, where he is now confined. That, although your petitioner is permitted to wear his own clothes, he is, in every other respect, under the common gaol regulations, living upon the same poor diet as the felons, and not allowed the use of a knife to cut his food with, and only permitted to receive a few very mean religious books from the gaol library. That the diet of the prison consists of bread, gruel, potatoes, and three ounces and a half of uncooked meat, daily. That your petitioner finds this food to be insufficient to sustain his strength and health ; and this, coupled with the long period of his confinement, is making havoc with an originally good constitution. JOSEPH CRABTREE, Late of Barnsley, in the West Riding of the county of York, and now a prisoner in Wakefield House of Correction, Showeth—That your petitioner was tried at the Yorkshire Lent Assizes, 1840, and convicted of at tending an illegal meeting, which was held at Barnsley on the 16th July, 1839, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in Wakefield House of Correction, sub ject. to the most severe discipline. That your petitioner is a man of very bad health ; he has been afflicted with a disease of the liver more than six years, and is at present very ill, not only of that complaint, but is likewise labouring under a pulmonary affection, which he feels assured must prove fatal, if some change be not made in his treatment. He is locked up in his sleeping cell at six o'clock at night, a room about 8 feet by 6, where he must not walk about, or make the least noise whatever, but remain in perfect silence, till he is let out at six o'clock in the morning, at which hour he is taken into the day-room, and placed among the convicted misdemeanants ; and he must sit there on a form, with his face in one particular direction, in order that the officers may see the whole of the face ; he must sit there until nearly seven o'clock in the evening, when he is again locked up in the sleeping cell. It is entirely close confinement ; he cannot walk into a yard, unless when sick, and then an officer is ap pointed to take a number of sick prisoners, and move them round a small yard about twenty minutes ; this may be allowed twice or three times a week. That the following offences committed by your peti tioner would subject him to be placed in dark solitary confinement for three days, to be allowed no more than half a pound of bread and cold water per day ; he must not hang down his bead so that his face cannot be clearly seen by the officers ; he must not speak under any circumstances to any other prisoner ; he must not stoop down to take anything from the ground ; he must not turn his head any way ; he must not stand up ; he must not laugh or smile, or make a motion with his lips or hands to another prisoner ; he must not look a prisoner in the face ; if he were to offend in any one of these particulars, he might be punished as stated above. If he want to attend the calls of na ture, he must put his cap on, and wait till called by one of the officers, which will sometimes be an hour and a half, there are so many ;n the room. That your petitioner never was an advocate for vio lence, but belonged to the moral force party. Your petitioner is led to believe that he is suffering in conse quence of outrages that were committed in other places; the Judge observed, on passing the sentence, " Although you have been convicted of attending the meeting only, do not suppose that you are receiving this severe sen tence for that ; it is not for that." That your petitioner would prefer and look upon it as an act of the greatest kindness being transported for seven years, and would have a better hope of surviving the seven years, and of being restored to his family, than he possibly can have of living two years un:ler the treatment of this prison. That your petitioner is a poor man, and has a family of small children depending on him for support, and he is cut off from all communication with them until he has been six months in prison, and then he will be al lowed to write and see them once a month, and no more. Your petitioner therefore most humbly prays, that if ever pity did enter into the breasts of the Members of your Honourable House, that it may do so now, and that you would be pleased to make intercession for mercy to be extended to him in his present situatien, in orler that he may be saved from certain death ; in mercy, look upon his miserable condition, and save him from the most protracted death ! RICHARD WHITE, Of Bradford, in the county of York, news-agent, Showeth—That your petitioner's son, George White, of Leeds, in the said county, was, at the last York As sizes, convicted of a political offence arising out of the late Chartist agitation, and was sentenced by the Judge to six months' imprisonment in the Castle of York. That your petitioner, on the 15th day of May last, was informed by John Lumb, of White Abbey, in Bradford, aforesaid, woolcombcr, who had shortly before been imprisoned in the House of Correction at Wake field, that petitioner's son was there, having been re moved from York Castle ; that he was treading the mill with those who had been convicted of felonies : that he was in an ill state of health, and so feeble that he had twice fallen from the tread-mill, in a state of exhaustion, and had to be carried to the sick ward. That your petitioner, being greatly affected with the above intelligence of the state of health and sufferings of his son, who is of a weak and hectic constitution, wrote several letters to his son to know if the above in telligence was true, and receiving no answer to any of them, obtained an order from Matthias Whitehead, of Bradford, aforesaid, Esq., a magistrate for the West Riding of the county of York, desiring the keeper of the said House of Correction to allow your petitioner to see his son. That your petitioner, whose age is sixty-two years, and is infirm, on the Bth day of this present June, walked to Wakefield, a distance of fourteen miles, and on the succeeding morning applied to Mr. Shepherd, the keeper of the said House of Correction, with the order of Mr. Whitehead, and desired permission to see his said son, on account of the ill state of health he Motion made and Question put, " That on Wednesday the 15th day of July next, this House will resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the following Address to her Majesty, that is to say, That an humble Ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take into consideration the deficiency which exists in the number of places of worship belonging to the Established Church when compared with the increased and increasing population of the Country, the inadequate provision therein for the accommodation of the poorer classes in large towns, and the insufficient endowment thereof in other places, as such facts have been severally set forth in the Reports of the late Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; to assure her Majesty, that this House is deeply impressed wit a just sense of the many blessings which this Country, by the favour of Divine Provi vidence, has long enjoyed, and with the conviction, that the re ligious and moral habits of the People are the most sure and firm foundation of national prosperity ; to state to her Majesty the opinion of this House, that no altered distribution of the revenues of the Established Church could remove the existing and augmenting evil, arising from the notorious fact, that an addition of more than six million souls has been made to the population of England and Wales since the commencement of the present century, and that the rate of this increase is rapidly progressive ; that the grants made by the wisdom of Parlia ment, on the recommendation of the Crown, in 1818 and 1824, have been inadequate to supply the national wants ; and that, though private and local liberality has been largely mani fested in aid of particular districts, the greatest wants exist where there are the least means to meet and relieve them ; to assure her Majesty that this House, feeling that God has en trusted to this Nation unexampled resources, is satisfied, that it is the duty of the Government to employ an adequate portion of the wealth of the Nation to relieve the spiritual destitution of large masses of the people, by whose labour that wealth has been enlarged; and humbly to represent to her Majesty, that. this House will cheerfully make good such measures as her Majesty may be pleased to recommend, in order to provide for her people in England and Wales further and full means of re ligious worship and instructio n in the Established Church :" (Sir Robert Harry Inglis )—The House divided.

That the said Governor treated your petitioner's ap plication with contempt and scorn, and peremptorily re fused to allow your petitioner any access whatever to his said son ; and stated that the letters your petition er had as aforesaid written were stopped by him, that he would stop all your petitioner so sent in future, and that he would not allow your petitioner's son to send any letters ; that your petitioner, being poor, walked home again, fourteen miles. That your petitioner's son's offence was purely a political one, arising out of the Chartist agitation, in which your petitioner's son was unhappily engaged ; and that, according to the testimony of several persons who were present on the trial of your petitioner's son, the sentence was imprisonment only, and that it was never intended by the Judge that the sentence should be carried out with the severity it has been. , routtli Langton, Col Gore—Somerset Leader, J.

The branches, &e., are very distinctly defined, and the whole exhibits a delicacy of delineation exceeding any thing that could be done by hand. A LIE.—" A great lie,' says the poet Crabbe, "is like a great fish on dry land; it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother, but it eamiot hurt you. You haea to keep still, and it will die of itielf." HOP INTELLIGENCF. The hop plantations of Worcester, the Weald of Kent, the iiinlcr part of Sussex, Essex, and the North Clay district, have now nearly for a month been subject to an attack of fly-blight, as severe as ever known, and which has increased so steadily that the bines appear to be sinking under it, and the produce bids fair to be materially shortened, and in the early attacked ground in a great measure destroyed. The only parts of the plantation which have hitherto comparatively escaped are the Golding Hops, on the hills, in Middle Kent, and the City Grounds of Canterbury, with a small part of its vicinity, in which districts the bine is at prc- ' sent promising, though by no means quite clean ; but as, in the customary course of failures, they are always the last attacked, even these cannot, as yet, be considered entirely out of danger. The numerous recoveries which have taken place of late years, and particularly those which oc curred in 1827 and 1534, have rendered the trade slow in giving credence to the extent of the blight; and pru dently cautious in acting upon it ; hence, we arc happy to say that the advance in prices has been extremely limited when corn pared with what has been usual when similarly circumstanced in former years, and does not, vet exceed 15s, to 18s. per cwt., 'caring prices still mo derate for the purposes of the consumer ; still, however, with much uncertainty in the market. It is certainly not yet too late for recovery, partial or even extensive ; but we apprehend that the crop cannot be a large one ; and should Miff Kent become infected, the duty (at present estimated at 95,0000 may prove materially less, in which case prices must greatly advance. All is yet in suspense, and depend s on the weather. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The market yesterday was dull, both in goods and yarns, its lion e ss being increased by the suspension of payments of the Commercial Bank ; and, as regards twist, also by bad accounts of a famine in Russia, in which it i s state d that the price of food has most enor piously risen, and that the people were starving in great numbers. Goods were also difficult of sale ; but still both goods and yarn might have been disposed of at some little reduction in price, which the manufactur ers, however, were not willing to submit to. T, MONDAY, JUNE ROCHDALE FLANNEL Id A RKE 20.—W e have bad very little business going on in the flannel -market to-day ; everything has been dull and gloomy. Buy e rs have either wanted the pieces at re duced prices, or otherwise have been quite indifferent whether they purchased at all. la the wool-market all has been still and inactive. ... HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 00.----Our market was pretty we ll a tt e nded to-day ; but still there was but a m eagre quan tity o f business transacted either in the plai n woo ll en o r f anc y departments, and manufac turers continue to complain bitterly of the low and ruinous prices obtained ; indeed, they aro so low com pared with the prices of wools, that many sales are chiefly the effect of dire necessity ; and, doubtless, it an ;early improvement cannot be realised, many will have to "Lite the dust." The wool market was also flat, but prices are firm. FOREIGN WI N E.—More wine is imported into this country from the Cape than front the whole of France. Last year the quantity of Cape wine imported amounted to 723,7.18 gallon:, while that from France was only .503,487, considerable. portion of which too we; afterwards exported. Fibm . Porttigal there were imported 3,272,208 gallons, from Spain 4 : 130,7,`,5 gallons, from Sicily 58'2,467 gallons, and from Madeira '267,041 gallons. The total amount imported was 9,909,0b6 galkus, so that the Peninsula furnishes more than three-fourths of the wine consumed in this country. P efaS EVENIN'IG EDITION. THE NURJI►E R OF MR. HARVEY comBEE' GAME-KEEPER. DISCOVERY OF HIS REMAINING MUR DERER. It will be recol3er tied that in the month of December, 1838, one of Mr. i larvey Combes' gamekeepers, ramed Thomas Chipps, was brutally murdered on the premises of that gentle.man, by f, an notorious poaGlicrs. A verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against four men named a li as ei Bcrdy," but upon investigation of the James White. Thomas, klnkers, James Allen, and William Bird, circum stances it was d e emed pro udcnt to admit White as evidence for the Crown. Th e t .,,1 her three mcn absconded imme• diately after the cc,mmia lion of the outrage, and none of them were taken until a c onsiderable time afterwards, and Sakers, who was' the first taken, was convicted of man slaughter at the Senmer .ssizes, 1839, and was sentenced to be transport: d for tile. Allen was subsequently taken into custody, and at the; i...pring Assizes of this year he •argo of manslaughter, and pleaded guilty to the et was alto sentenced to b, transported for life. In the meantime, the strictest a (larch was continued after " Burdy," who was suppose. to be the putter up, or concoctor of the whole .I).Tair, but not the least clue could be obtained to him, a n.d it was believed that he had gone to sea. Within the last few days, however, Partridge, the constable., of Cobh tin, who had the case in hand, received information that a E lan, under the name of Henry Jones, was in custody in \laldon Gaol, upon a charge of burglary, whose appearan le corresponded with that of Buidy, and he immediately pro, Teded to, that town, and on seeing the s i dismal Jones, he immediately iden tified him as the man he had so long be, n on the look-out . for. Upon the circumstances being I. tenticried to the authorities it was deemed advisable, owing k to the fact of another party being iordlicated .in the charge of burglary, that that charge should be, r oue on with, and accordingly, on Monday. Jones, alias Burdy, and a man aamed John Johnson, who travels about the country with a dog-cart, were indicted for a burglarly, at the instance of a person named Dadlow, a tradesman at Maldon. Both the prisoners behaved in the most out rageous and violent manner during the trial, and they repeatedly insulted the Court in the grossest manner. The Jury ultimately found both the prisoners . guilty, and the Chairman ordered them to be transported for life. As this is the case, it is doubtful whether any farther proceedings will be taken against the prisoner for his share in the murder, as it is not probable, after the results of the former trials, that a jury will ba induced to give any other verdict than that of manslaughter, in which case the Court could cot inflict a heavier sentence upon ;he prisoner than has followed his conviction for burglary.
