There was no House of Commons yesterday, owing to tl..e Members not collecting in sufficient number to for►.n one. We agree with Mr. EWA RT in feelin g great aatisfacts on t h at a T ory M em b er o f the H ouse of Comraons has proposed to abolish the punishment 0 1 - death in all cases except those of treason and !murder. We feel no satisfaction, however, at find 'ng that Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the ATTOR.• IIEY-GENERA L object to the humane enactment; and it is due to ourselves, as ene Ministerial jour nal sides with them, to show that their objections are trot shared by all the Liberal papers. Though we regret the course Lord JOHN Rus- ELL has taken, we can do justice to his motives. The Government is bound up with the whole body 'of the laws ; and is not separable from them. It exists by and through the laws. It becomes, therefore, the business of Ministers to guard against alterations of the laws till they are thoroughly satisfied that the alteration is required /Is the public welfare. Hence it is that the Whigs t. office are necessarily, to a certain extent, Conser- Ivatives, and the Tories, in opposition, may be the advocates of change. As a Minister of the Crown, Lord J. RUSSELL is bound to resist all experiments with the laws, of the utility of which he is not thoroughly aware. We blame him less for adhering to this Principle now, than for his having on other occa ainna—rural constabularies and police regulations I ? wit--teo readily departed from it. Such being h ie duty, an d i t b e i ng very d ou b t f u l, w h atever a lew ardent philanthropists may say, how far a com munity long accustomed to rely on savage laws for p r otection, would approve of that abolition, and now far the popular sanction—without which Jaws Wont vitality—would accord with the wise and just toposition of benevolent men, we cannot condemn " 11 , 4 opposition. Even Mr. KELLY proposed, out ni deference to the House, to omit high treason 7 ;° 11 murder from his Bill, b ecause h e was sensible that the public feeling, at least in the latter case, Would not sanction the abolition of the punishment • of death. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as the organ of t he Government, the existence of which is bound il3 with th e w h o l e b o d y o f t h e l aws , on l y spo k e on the principle Mr. KELLY acted on, but deferred qoniewhat more extensively to what he regards as th e Public feeling. t taut if h e , as a Mi n i ster, were , per h aps , b oun d so ° act, we see no obligation on the Tories, except a Wish t o a d apt themselves to what they suppose a ei rc wing public opi n i on , to propose any such ,"ange. N evert h e l ess, we re j oice t h at one o f t h em has done so. Their system of government is grounded on coercion. It disregards the popular will, and carries some prettily devised scheme of rale savage amongst our ancestors into effect by ~Y ran nY. The whole basis of their policy is terror nd the principal source of terror is the punish went of death. Sanguinary laws and Toryism are gave ; and to propose the abolition of the punish- I lent of death f or cr i me i s to strike a h eav y blow at e rYisns. If law-makers must not inflict death f or• robbery or rape, how shall they dare ever • Propose it as th e punishme n t of those who virtuously struggle for freedom ? If the community will no longer tolerate the infliction of s udden death, as a punishment for a great ePass, the Tory system, which relies on the terro r of. lingering starvation in gaol to put down i ts adversaries, cannot be supported. On these rinciples we unfeignedly rejoice to have a Tory Nember of the House of Commons advocating the abolition of the punishment of death. We understand why Mr. KELLY should have withdrawn murder from his Bill, but the legal crime °f treason is of such wide extent, that a reforming legislator should have defined and limited the crime before he left it exposed to capital punish illsent• That a person who attempts the life of t t ile Sov ere i gn s h ou ld b e li a bl e to t h e pena l ty o f e ath, the publi c generally will admit ; but that he who addresses a public meeting, and advises th e,, people to arm, perhaps against a corrupt °llgarchy, which may have mastered the Govern- T e nt, should b e equa lly liable to the penalty of ~e a th, shocks our rea son. Rulers may in both e 8 infli c t i t , b u t un b r idl e d • power is lust . Which requ i res restra i nt , _ not approva l. M os t person s approve of a murderer being punished with death, but th e legal crime of treason, as of late expounded by the Judges, is so extensive that it r`ittires to be confined to overt acts against the v . of the Sovereign, or to an actual levying of feelings of mankind, in placing it and murder in 00 e category. 0 , Some of our Contemporaries, and some Members el Parliament, are extremely anxious to have se- C. ll darY punishments made snore effective as a sub thitnte for death. They will persist in killing unless all ey ,can torture. They require that ingenuity Ould exert itself in devising punishment that shall nt dest roy lif e.

Th e l as s enrr:cts what th': Silent, or Separate system, seems to us to be Co-' .4.3 l fititern Reporter, a paper published at ..c ) has the following obs-rvations in reference (0 the crimes recently committed in England, and to the remarks of the London Press : We call on the really humane and philanthropic Refor mers of England to consider how incomparably greater are the grievances that afflict Ireland, than any which our neighbour island can complain of; and when this is con sidered, how surprising, to those acquainted with the hide ous depravity existing in English society, will appear the loyal, peaceful, and well ordered conduct of the slandered inhabitants of Ireland, in the midst of their woes, wrongs, and indignities. Borne down by F.uttrings, moral and physical, such as never before were endured by a nation..... what a contrast is presented by the demeanour of the Irish people ito the crime, turbulence, and treason un happily prevailing amongst their neighbours And yet there are grave and " reverend" men going about the empire, vituperating and denouncing the " brutal Popish peasantry of Ireland," and calling for a return to the system of extermination and the dominance of martial law, in order to assimilate the Irish to the " moral and religious people of England." The case of the Irish—the vituperation and de nunciation of which our Contemporary so justly complains—is another example of injustice and cruelty, arising from our manners rather than our laws. The law knows no distinction, or a very trifling one, between Catholics and Protestants, but the ancient distinction is kept up in our man ners, and is widened to the utmost by designing and wicked men. No law any longer condemns the Irish to idleness by prohibiting manufactures, or to ignorance by prohibiting teaching, but the custom of the landowners to live abroad and to export all which they can possibly extort from the people, keeps them steeped in poverty, igno rance, and idleness. It takes from the means of improvement. The laws concerning property are now much the same in England arid in Ireland, but the domination in the latter by a small sect, who administer the law in general with all the cor ruption and arrogance of masters, and who are a race different from the people, generates there a host of evils unknown in England, except as they are imported from the sister country. Ireland is undoubtedly yet cursed with a law-Established Church, which is not the Church of the majority of the people, but with this exception—and time is reducing the Church in England to a similar con dition—the'greater grievances which afflict Ireland, grow more from the manners of her Orange gentr than from her laws. They always struggle, indeed, to gain for their hateful oppressions the sanction of legality. For example, while the Irish are, according to all ac counts, starving, actually dying of famine in va rious parts of the country, the Orange party, headed by Sir R.BATESON and Colonel CONOLLY, threw out, on Monday evening, the Bill proposed by the Ministers to allow flour to be imported into Et:- land. That would tend to break in on the Corn- laws ; it would be a step towards getting rid of an enactment by which the Protestant landowner is enriched, and the Catholic serf starved, and ac cordingly the sinister interests of the Orangemen and the landlords prevailed, and it was decreed that no interruption should take place in the landlords' plan for starving the people. A great grievance was continued, for the Government had not the power to carry its just views into effect. When the Houses of Parliament can be brought to give their sanction to such oppressions growing out of the manners of Orange landlords, what wonder is it that those bodies become despised and hated, and that changes, amounting to a great revolution, arc demanded by the masses ? In one country tl: e Charter is asked for, and in the other Repeal is popu • lar ; and while the people in both can justify their demands by such facts as the rejection of a mea sure to allow flour to be imported into a country where the people are starving, all preaching obout advantages of the Union, or the blessings of ancient Constitution, will be regarded as the wind. To put an end to the demand for Re and the demand for the Charter, the Houses our idle peal of Pailiament, by doing justice to the people, muse prove that they deserve their confidence. We aim here at nothing more than to direct public attention to the teport of the meeting yester day of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery So ciety. It worthily crowned the labours of the Con vention, concluded the day before. No party feeling was allowed to exhibit itself except it were just so much as to show that it existed, but could be im mediately suppressed. In associating to redeem others from slavery, the gentlemen and ladies pre sent showed they were not the slaves of their own hateful passions. The assembly consisted of pvr sons of different nations, various shades of cum plexion, and a great diversity of creeds, but they were all harmoniously intent on the one good and humane work of putting an end to slavery all over the world. May their efforts be successful. Lord DENMAN yesterday delivered the judg ment of the Court of Queen's Bcnch in the case of the Queen v. the Chapter of Exeter, and the Court, we regret to say, sustains the Chapter against the Crown. It thinks that usage since the time of CHARLES 11., in the absence of any express law giving the appointment of Deans to the Crown, as the appointment of Bishops is given by a statute of HENRY VIII , does not con stitute a right in the Crown, and it there fore discharges the mandamus which had been moved-to compel the Chapter to give effect to the recommendation of the Crown. At the same time the Court suggests that the Crown has a better means of trying its right than by a writ of mar damns; and we feel assured, by what fell from the Attorney-General, that no proper means will be left unemployed to establish the right claimed by the Crown. We are bound, however, after this decision, to believe that at least the legal point is so doubtful that the Ch a p ter is warranted in its proceedings. It is not for us to impugn the decision of the Court of Que en ' s Bench on such a question; but we suppose it will excite a number of other ecclesiastical c or p orat i ons to question rights which are now claimed by the Crown. 01 the desire and determination of a large body of the priesthood to carry back the Church, in spiritual matters, to all the errors of the Papacy, our Journal in another place presents an atkquate proof ; and this claim of the Chapter of Exeter, followed up, as no doubt it will be, by l'!milar claims of other Chapters, is a proof that the prie,t hood are resolved to restore the temporal power, as well as the spiritual doctrines of the Papal priest hood. We arc not surprised at it. On the con trary, their usurpations are the necessary con• sequences of the silly subserviency of the people, and of the general opinion, so flat tering to the priesthood, and so provocative of arrogance and usurpation, that they are the moral heads of society and the fountains of all civilization and virtue. By our opinions we surrender our: selves into their hands. What wonder then that they, filled with the pride of men endowed with power, seek to trample under foot whatever stands in their way ? The Madrid journals received are of the 15th inst. General Sir G. DE LACY EVANS had left that capital for London, having been success ful in the object of his mission. Before starting, he obtained a remittance of 50,0001., being the first instalment of the arrears due to the British Auxiliary Legion. The unfortunate auxiliaries will not be the only gainers by this arrangement. The nation's gratit u d e w ill h ar dly b e l ess at finding itself relieved from the awful infliction of Lord LONDONDERRY'S soporific Parliamentary wailings. The Cortes were occupied with the Clergy's Provision Bill. Rumours were afloat of changes of Ministers. The Five per Cents. were, on the 15th, at 25k- for cash. The extraordinary express from Paris received yesterday has enabled us to anticipate the whole of the news brought by the ordinary arrival of Tues day's Journals.

It is the mere trick of a tradesman who has got wales to sell ; and against such arts we know of no prokction but the sound and dis criminating judgment of those who want to buy. But when such a journal joins the landlords of England and the Tories in depreciating the utility of Corn-law abolition, we feel bound to tell the South Australian Record, that its selfish motives do not vrarrant such misrepresentation. The repeal of the Cornlaws would provide bath remunerating employment and sub sistence for our people, and would be of more ad vantage to South Australia than the continuance of the laws which the Record supports. Then overflowing cvital, the result of profitable employment, and enterprise could pour out their abundance on all our cooties ; but only the vigorous m mind and body would seek a toreign home. Now the want of profit employment drives men away, and those who are sick. at heart, who cannot bear up against the intense cam petition cAused by the compression.of unnopoly, go abroad. The colony n-ceives nut th'e redundancy of strAigth, but the outeastings which weakness cannot support. A vigorous p :rent begets vigorous offsp:ing, and the wore healthy and prosperous the. parent society, the more abundant will be the strength and the pros perity it will be aide, to shower on its colonies. If the Editor of the Record understood the interest of his employers, he would not decry the repeal of the Corn. laws. - , COMMISSION of LIJN ACY--Wednesday a special Jury was convened at the Gray's Jim Coffee-house, before Mr. Commissioner Blount, to inquire into the state of mind of Miss Charlotte Firth. The father of the young lady (Joseph Firth), it appeared, had kept a public-house, in diddle-row, Holborn, who died in June, 1828, earin g Miss Firth, who came of age in Septembor, 1838, under the pro tection of her guardian (Mr. Chorley) very considerable pro perty, which is now under the control of the Court of Chan cery. Several witnesses were examined, and arritingst them Doctors Soutbty arid Sutherland, who depo,ed to her ineapabi- Lty of managing her person or estate ; that she was unabl e to tell how many shillings there were in a sovereign, or how many pence in a shilling, and other acts of imbei.ality of intellect. The young li,dy being examined by the Commission (who laid some silver and gold on the table before her) said there were twelve shillings in a sovereign, and sixpence in a shilling, and evinced her utter incapability to govern her person or actions ; and the jury, in consequence, found from the examination of the witnesses, that she had been of unsound mind, and inca pable of governing her person or prope,ty ever since the li t of August, 1833. Letters from Constantinople, of the 3rd inst., bring advices from Tabriz to the 3d of May. The Shah of PERSIA was at Ispahan, where Count DE -SERCY, the French Ambassador, had an in terview with him, after which his Excellency set out for Bagdad, there to await the arrival of his despatches from his Government. The impression produced by the sudden departure of the Ambas sador from the Court of the SHAH was, that his reception was not so favourable as he had been led to anticipate. Henry Rawlins, who formerly held a situation in a wine -merchant's establishment, but who, for some time past, has been the victim of a series of bad fortune, was on Wednesday morning found dead in his bed at the house of Air. Cooper, inkeeper, of Fetter-lane. The deceased had been twice tried at the Old Bailey within the last six months on charges of fraud, but through some technical flaw escaped in both instances. He was only discharged the day preceding his death. He retired to bed about ore o clock on Tuesday morn ing, desiring to be called at nine. Ile was then hearty and in good spirits. His death is attributed to apoplexy arising from excessive excitement. TAUNTON,—Haymaking will shortly begin in our valley ; the grass shear promises well, but we are sorry not to be able to report so favourably of the wheat.

While professing to set the highest value upon the friendship of England, and to be willing to dismiss from his counsels those Ministers who ad vised the insult offered to her representative, the SHAH continued his encroachments upon the Turkish frontier of Sulama - niah, and his tyrannical oppression of his own unfcrtunate subjects, whom he daily pillaged and tortured without limitation or mercy.

A circumstance had taken place calculated to weaken the good understanding between the Eng lish residents in Turkey, and the Turkish authori ties. We give it as related by the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary Mr. Colquhoun, an English traveller, and two rfll , crs of the Dido, now stationed on the Bosphorus, undertook some days ago a journey to Adrianople. On their arrival at Baha, not far from Adrianope, they were desirous of enjoying the luxury of a bath in the small river which pisses that place. They chose a retired spot, where they began to purify themselves from the filth of a dirty and fatiguing ride. While they were engaged in this egre:able exupation, they were suddenly interrupted by the appa rition of a number of Turks, who, roughly laying hands on the luckless bathers, began to beat them in the most brutal manner. After this the Aga and his myrmi dons conveyed them to prison, dashing their firmans to the ground when they offered to show them to him, and proceeded to put them in stocks; but as their English limbs, were of greater calibre than the ordinary run of Turkish lower extremities, the orifices of the wooden blocks proved too small, and the ruffi , ins began to jump upon them, in order to force them on the limb—thus eau - ing a torture analogous to that inflicted by the famous ir-n boot, so frequently used to elicit the truth by thr. old Scotch Privy Council. The leg of one of the offie:rs was severely injured, and he is now under medical treatment on that account. They were kept in prison all night, and next morning the Aga, influenced by the remonstrances of a Greek, who represented to him the impropriety of his conduct and the probable punishment that awaited him, set them at liberty. On Monday last Captain Davis, of the Dido, gave in a report to Lord Ponsonby on the sub ject, and his Lordship has already demanded satisfaction from the Reis Effendi. The following intelligence from Egypt, of which we find nothing in our Constantinopolitan Corres pondence, is from a German paper of the 20th, just received : ALEXANDRIA, MAY 26.—For some days past prepara tions have been secretly making, which indicate that im portant events are at hand. The Egyptian fleet will not only receive a x months' pay, but it is taking in provisions for six months; and hence it may be inferred that it will shortly leave the port of Alexandria. With respect to the place of its destination nothing has transpired. Several successive couriers have lately been sent to Syria, and is affirmed that they had despatches of great importance. It would not be strange if Mehemet Ali, tired of the statue quo, had resolved, at length to seLtio the matter by arms. It seems that the Hadschi Pacha steam-boat, under Tuscan colours, which arrived here yesterday from Constantinople, brought him favourable news, not of the prospect of a speedy reconciliation with the Porte, but of a great increase of his already numerous partisans in Turkey.

" Emily" is, in truth, a very readable story —that is to say, the style is easy and animated, though sometime ; s slip-shod, and the incide n t s are natural and not defi c i ent i n var i ety ; b ut as f or character, there is very littl e the young Countess of Rosendale, who is the heroine, and from whom the novel derives its title, is, like all other fashionable heroines we ever read cf, beautiful, accomplished, susceptible, and so forth, but with nothing of " mark or likelihood" aboul i agr. Her languishing, die-away sweetheart, Sir HerbtlTE Mande ville, is not much better, being just one of those high flown, romantic characters, who abound in circulating library tales, but are never by any chance met with in real life. As a matter of course be falls violently in love at first sight with the Countess Emily, and equally as a matter of course, she reciprocates his passion ; dif ficulties, however, arise, to disturb the "smooth course" of their " true love ;" but these are in time got over, and the attached couple are eventually made happy by the instrumentality of a parson, and a Doctors' Com mons' license. We must contest:, that the scenes wherein Herbert and Emily chiefly figure are not mun to our taste ; but there are some clever, piquant sketches of aristocratic life. in the country ; sonic graphic descrip tions of ural scenery ; and much spirited dialogue between a ruined man of rank, Colonel Marsden, and his equally impoverished liberene son, Frederick. But the best, because the most probable, characters in the tale, are those of the Robinson family, whose Vulger purse pride is justly and forcibly satirized, CHARLES LAMB'S WORKS. Moxon, London, 1840. The entire works of Ctiaz les Lamb, both in prose and verse, arc comprised in this handsome octavo volume, which is one of the cheapest of the tnany cheap and elegant republications that have lately ap peared unihr Air.

Cadell This is a work, chiefly ' L eil l° (. 7 . z ien l o e 4 nt . ary character, and will be kund cxttemely serviceable to students in the University, for whose use it is designed. The author handles his subject with a skill that shows his mastery aver it, and procecis regularly step by step in his .I_ ,. .cturey, simplifying that which is coniplex, and smoothing that which is difficult. With the exception of A-chbishop Whateley's admirable treatise on Logic, we have scarcely one good elementary work on the sub ject ; we therefore hail with pleasure the present suc cessful attempt to supply the want ; and trust that it may ere long be extensively introduced into our private and public seminaries, for every system of education must be consdered defective that does not comprehend the study of Logic. -POPULAR LI6RARY OF MODERN AUTHORS. Whitaker, London, 1840. The present number of this Miscellany contains a re publication of the late Mr. Inglis's " Travels thraugh Switzerland, the South of 1 4 'race, and the Pyrenees." They are written in a cheerful unassuming manner, for the author was one who always looked to the sunny side of things ; and arc particularly deserving of praise for the minuteness and graphic spirit of their descriptions. NAUTICAL SKL TCHES. Painter, London, 1840. A series of passable tales and sketches in prose, most of which being short, can be read at a sitting w:thout difficulty. The public, however, is b?ginning to get tired of these nautical stories—in fact, shows evident symptoms of sea-sickness; and we must honestly confess we are not at all surprised at its growing dis taste for such productions.

It repre sents a child but just escaped from infancy, kneeling, wir,ll its little hands clasped, at its grandmother's feet, and cffenng up its daily prayer to Heaven. The atti tu lc of the child is marked by grace and simplicity, and the countenance of the old lady, who is sitting in her eisy arm-chair, witu her hands pressed lightly on the held of her young charge, beams with that calm, bene volent expression, which is so characteristic of a green and happy old age. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. I3ESSARABIA, JUNE s.—The sth corps of the Rugeiln army, which has been stationed for some years past in the Crimea, Bessarabia, and about Odessa, and w h ose head-quarters, under General Sullen, were just at this time to be fixed at Odessa, has unexpectedly received marching orders to Circassia. It seems that Russia intends to carry on the campaign this year with extraordinary vigour. This is evident from these pre pi.irltory measure:, which affords a new proof of the importance which Russia attaches to its sovereignty otc:r that mountainous country, and the losses which it it has sustained duricg the last winter. 12,000 men are already embarked ; ,from 8,000 to 10,000 of the third divisicn have been sent on the road to Tiflis. There are reports . of a Caucasian Confederation, which is sail to have been formed in consequence of the late successes of the Circessians, and to extend from the Black Ssa to the Caspian, for which reason many persons doubt of a decisive success of the great efforts of the Russians. The Russian fleet will take a station on the Caucasian coast, but will always be in readiness,' should events in Turkey render it necessary, to proceed, at the shortest notice, to another desti nation. An article from Vienna, in the Allgemeine Zeitung, poitively contradicts the report of the intention of the Austrian Government to contract a new loan. - - - - - DUTCH FUNDS.-.AMSTERDAM, Jutiu 23.

These races commenced yesterday, and notwithstanding the recent attractions at Ascot, proved that the love of racing sv.:s not exhausted. For the first day the assemblage of fashion ables, though not so numerous as it would no doubt have ' been, had not the meeting unluckily fallen on the same days as the Newton, Bibury and Stockbridge, was most re spectable, and comprised many persons of rank, amongst whose equipages were several "four-in-hands." The weather, although threatening in the morning, held up beautifully, and continued fine throughout the day. Since last year consi derable alterations and improvements have taken place on the course ; not only have all the inequalities in the turf been corrected by the use of tan, but the turf itself has ap proached a state of racing perfection. The run-in has been reversed, and the winning-post removed higher up the course ; ' an advantage both to horses and spectators, as it makes the race home longe r an d stra igh ter, and affords' a much better view of the final struggle. These points are highly creditable to Mr. Parsons, the Clerk of the Course, and were acknow ledged with satisfaction, by the owners of horses and jockies. Amongst others we noticed on the Hurst, Earl of Ches.erfield and Lord Macdonald, the stewards, Prince Edward of Saze Weimar, Lord Alford, Lord Seymour, Lord Louth, Lord W.
