The Earl of Wick - Low moved for the production of the' col-- respondence between the authorities of the post-office and the Rev. Mr. Nangle, relative to not passing a newspaper, called the Achill Herald, through ,the post-office, which motion, alter some discussion, was agreed to. The First Fruits and Tenths Bill havingpassed through com mittee, and the Mutiny Bill and Marine Mutiny Bill having been read a third time and passed, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The third reading of the Notting Hill ( Hippodrome) root way Bill (a ministerial job) was carried by 162 against 1-L3. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS BILL. Mr. ButAtit moved the second reading of this: bill, which led - rev very extended discussion. Sir HOBERT PEEL opened the debate, and confessed that, upon reflection, he found himself indisposed to surrenderto any tribunal out of the [louse the trial of controverted elections; but he suggested that an improvement might be made by a❑ adaptation in part of the American prai•tice—viz., the appoint ment at the commencement preach session by the Speaker of a general committee of flee or seven, of - some soch-nuMber, who should name election committees front the whole number liable to serve—a sufficient proportion of that whole number being cast by the general committee, so named, into sets of six or sev •n, to whom petitions should be referred 'for trial, either in the order of rotation by lot or otherwise The right hou. bart. also seemed to ad ise that assessors (lawyers of sufficient rank and standing) should be chosen by the parties. This is the outline of Sir Robert Peel's plan, which seemed Co meet with universal approbation as to all its leading propositions ; but Sir Robert expressed his despair of effecting any important good by any modification of the tribunal, without a settlement of the law by a declaratory act. Mc. 0 CONNELL moved as an amendment that the bill be re ferred to a committee, Some discussion then took place, and the House divided, when there appeared—for the motion, ; fur the amendment, 57; majority, 23. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDA T The Bishon of EXETER, the Mat pi* of SLIGO, Lord SUP FIELD, Lord NI ELBOU ItNE, &c. presen petitions for the aboli tion of the negro apprenticeship system. Earl STAN HOPE presented petitions for the immediate repeal of the Your Law Amendment Act. The karl of RtpoN again deferred his motion for an account of the expense of the Malta commission, in consequence of the indisposition of the secretary for the colonies. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE stated, in answer to tlie Bishop of Exeter's ►nquiry, that the government thought the recom,- mendationS of the commissioners of education (Ireland), were well worthy of adoption; and that it was the intention of the government to propose to continue the grant for supporting the national systetn of education in Ireland. The Bistinp of EXETER thereupon gave notice that after the recess he should submit a motiot. regarding the import of the evidence that had been adduced on this subject. The Earl of H A DDINGTON expres,ed a hope that her ma jesty's ministers would reconsider the reduction of the yeomanry forces as applicable to Scotland, as they had been of incalculable use. Lord MELBOURNE answered that the subject had been deli berately considered, and that the reduction was deemed con sistent with due attention to the public safety. The report of the First Fruits and Tenths Bill was presented and mzreed to; after which their lordships adjourned till Thur sday, except as regarded committees above stairs. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsOar. SOAP TAX. Mr. GIII.ON moved the total abolition of the soap tax. Lord SANDON proposed reduction, not abolition—naively, one third. Mr. S. RICE, however, resisted both propositions. The amendment was negatived by• 163 against 78. The ori ginal motion was then negatived without any division. THE CANADIAN MISSION The Marquis of Cu ANnos brought forward his motion re garding the Earl of Durham's expences as lord high com missioner of the Canadas, and said that he considered it expe dient to call on the house to declare, by resolutions, that econo my ought to characterise the expendittire of the proposed mission ; and that, as Lord Gasford's expenditure was £12,800 a-year, that amount ought to be taken as a precedent to guide the charge on account of Lord Durham's mission. The noble marquis examined Lord Durham's proposed appointments, and commented on them as •extravagant, injudicious, and, in some cases, Utmecessary, especially iu provinces where expensive and ostentatious display would he so much out of place; and he . asked of what use could be " a legal adviser," at a salary of £1.500 a year, where there were already attorneys and solici tors general ? H e f eare d t h a t thi s " gra t u it ous " appo i ntment would lead to far more ex p ense thin if the governor h a d a fi xe d salary, and the government the forming of such other offices as they deemed requisite. Lord J. Russe.i.l. defended the appointment, and the pro ceedings by which it had been followed, as being according to precedent in many similar cases, in the time of Lord Castle re.igh and other ministers. He afterwards moved the pre vious question." A long discussion followed. Mr. Limurots made some very violent remarks, for which he was called to order by the speaker. Mr. HumE deemed it a personal attack and not a matter of expense. Sir Ron Eur PEEL was surprised to hear such extraordinary motives attributed to iiiquity into the cause of threatened pub lic expenditure, and sh o red from Lord Gienelg's letter that it had been intended to give Lord Durham a carte blanche in the department of expanse, as well as in the creation of otfiees; and, having commented with equal force and pleasantry upon the noye.ty of such a plan of government, and its inconsistency with the usages and principles of the constitution, he referred to the contrast between Lord Amherst's (conservative) pro posed mission in 1835, attended by a single secretary, and Lord Durham's ran it a u (11 nous corte:je of sec retarie s , civil and mi ht, rv, prineipal - and private, with law advisers and aide., de camp, os a beginning_ Mr. C. But.t.En remarked that he was going. with Lord Dur ham, but not as his " legal adviser." . Lord PA LNIELLSTON defended the expenditure on the ground of its being a special mission, and not a fixed embassy : The house divided. The numbers were—for the motion, 158; against it, 160; majority in favour of ministers, two ! HOUSE OF COM MONS.—WEDNEsoA T. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock.

Mr H IWKES moved the second reading of the British Manu facturers' Protection Bill. The only r obj ect of the bill was to pro tect British manufacturers front the repeated frauds they had been so long subjected to by foreigners. Mr. HAwEs said he thought a bill of this kind ought to be well considered by the Board of Trade before it waS read a see and time. Mr. LABOLCIIEIZE assured the house that the measure had been carefully e%am:ned by the Board of Trade, and no objec tion world he of from that quarter im the second reading.

The ballot for the Wicklow Election Committee caused a long discussion, with closed doors, on the question whether the sitting members should separately strike from the list.

Mr. BROTHERToN inquired whether. the Attorney-general contemplated the introduction of any bill to amend the regula tions regarding the m e di ca l p ro f es sion ?. The ATTOUNEY-GktiEitAL answered, that, th oug h a d m i tt i ng the impottaace of the subject, he had left it in,the hands of Mr. Warburton; but if no measure were before brought forward, he would next session direct attention to it. _ 'Mr. lhacksToNs; complained of breach of privilege in a letter signed by 111 r. l'oulter, the ex-member for Shaftesbury, that had appeared in the Morning Chronicle as an ail certisement, impug ning the conduct, motives, and decision of the Shafteshury elec tion committee which had unseated him; and moved thatt Puulter and the. p u bli s h er o f t h e p a p e r do attend at the bar of the house on Monday, which motion, eventually, was agreed to. On the motion, that the house resolve into committee on the slavery almlition- act amen/line/A bill, Mr. JAMES SzLwsur moved, that it be an instruction t o such committee to introduce a clause providine that ve t o. ° a p_ prenticeship, as established by the 3d and 4th William IV., cap. 73. shall totally cease on the Ist August, 18187 a motion that be justified on the ground of the terms of the act of compensa tion havmcg been neglected and violated.

The French government has recetvedthefoilowing telegraphic dispatch "Bayonne, April 3, half-past 3, p. m. "On the 20th and 21st of March, General Bursa attacked Cabrera, who was besiging Lucena, with 13 battalions and 7 pieces of artillery, and lo . reed hint to raise the siege. Basilio was on the 28th before Ciudad Real, and Flinter at Consuegra. Espartero was on the 27th at Valencia, and the Carlist expedi tion on the 26th at Freno de Rodella. The committee bas unanimously adopted the bill on the loan." The • Quotidienne' makes the following observations on the telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne of the 3d It ap pears that Basiiitt Garcia, who Was making his way towards the monntains of ,kvila, as if he had been determined to traverse Talavera, has made a sudden counter-march towards La Man cha; front which it may be inferred, that he has been made ac quainted with the conditions of the loan contracted by M. Aguado, and wishes to destroy its principal basis, by letting in water into the mines of Almaden. It should be recoilected that Ciudad Real is only 15 leagues from Ahnaden ; and that Gen. Flinter, who of all the Christinos chiefs is closest to the expedi tion, has been left 15 leagues further behind at Consuegra!" A letter front Catalonia of the alth ult. given by the Quoti dienne,' contains the following information ;—" A column•of 3000 infantry and 50 horse, with three cannon, having marched front Solsona, cante on the 12th o the neighbourhood of Gerry. to raise the siege of that place. This expedition was received by the Carlists with the greatest sany-fruid. and after 10 hours' tightiug, completely routed, with the lOss of a great many killed, among 'whom was the commander, Brigadier Videres. If Tristany had arrived one hour sooner, the whole column would nave been destroyed. On the 13th Cagaera having heard that Baron de Meer threatened Ripoll, advanced thither with 31)0 men; but having found that Colonel Darchs had aban doned that place without fighting, he caused him to be arrested and shot 011 the 25th, at Bergs." Extract of a letter I n t ro Toulon, dated March The occupation of Stora is definitively resolved upon. A column of .2(110 men will shortly march from Constantine simultaneously with the appearance or three steam-boats and some smaller craft upon the coast, where 1200 men will be disembarked, with the necessary guns, ammunition, and provisions. An obstinate resistance is not looked for; but every precaution will be taken to repulse any act of hostility." A letter from the Bayonne frontier, of the 2d inst. mentions the fact of O'Donnell's second advance upon Vera, without stating the result. He reports at the saute time the counter march of Guergue from his movement upon Portugalette, and ,his arrival in the valley of Mena, with the intention of crossing the Ebro. This account, however, he does not confirm. A letter front Durango, dated the 30th, states that Guergue, having made a false movement on Portugalette, suddenly made a counter-march, and at that date was in the village ot Mena, wth the whole of his division and tour pieces of artillery, intend ing to cross the Ebro and march direct into the province of Burgos. The Madrid papers of the 28th ult have arrived. A report was current, but nut credited, that General Latre had died o f his wound. The Gazette' of the 28th states, that the expedi tion under Count Negri halted for the night of the 21th at Vil lamayor; and was marching in the direction of Pedrosa and Vascuncellos, closely followed by General Iriarte. The Bee, which arrived ou Saturday, at this port, from Val paraiso, whence she sailed on the 28th aDecen4ber, has brought the fuliowittg interesting letter _ VALPARAIS .

They had previously visited the island of Juan Fernandez, where they set at liberty the criminal and political prisoners, and some of the latter joined theni ; the remainder were brought over to the continent by an Ainencari whaler. They sailed from that island on the 18th Nov. ult., fra Talcahuano, and, after being here as above, sailed fir the northward, visiting Coquimbo, fluasco, and Cupiapo. Daring their cruise, they took two or three of the Chili mer chant vessels. The only Chili man of war in this port was the - schooner Colocolo, repairing ; consequently, these vessels caused a considerable degree of alarm along the whole coast. Rover arrived here on the 14th instant, from Quilca, brin9in;: , an account of Admiral Bianco,,Commander-in-chicf of the Chili expedition, (which sailed a!sainstPerii-15th Sept. ult.) having made a treaty of peace with General Santa Cruz. Admiral Blanco arrived here the followin g day, in the Chili corvetto Libertad, and the other Chili v esse l s of war and trans ports have since returned with the troops of the expedition, the last of which arrived yesterday. The treaty was agreed to on the 17th November ult., about six leagues from Arequipa. An oflicial rejection of this treaty has been published by the Chili government, and a new ekpedition, of a much superior force, is determined upon. Litna, the capital of Peru, it is said, will be the - objevt of attack. The Chili vessels of war sail in a day or two with the non-ratification, and, probably, with an in tent of blockading Callao, and keeping the Peruvian vessels of war in that port, if they find them there. Admiral Blanco has been ill received by this government. and it is thought, will in sist upon having a court martial held respecting hts conduct with the expetlitioil in Peru. . . Subscriptions have been opened, and two persons appointed by Government, to receive money and stores front the public to carry on the war ! which is popular only with the lower classes, who have nothing to lose, and those Who are employed by or interested with the present party who are now in power. In the meantime, commerce is growing worse and worse, and the oldest resident in Valpariso never knew business so bad; in short, there is little or nothing doing, with nearly to the amount of a million sterling of foreign goods in the Custom house stores ? MEXICO. FALMOCTII, APRiL 4.—Her Majesty's packet Hope Lieut. Rees, with mails from Mexico. arrived late last night, having sailed from Vera Cruz the 6th, Tampico the 14th, and Havannah the 28th of February. The only news- she brings from the republic is, that Congress had found itself under the necessity of authorising, the creation of a loan of B,CXXI,OOO dollars for the use of government; and further, that a rumour ot a change in the ministry being shortly expected to take place was current, and generally entertained as likely to be realised. At Vera Cruz some excitement prevailed in consequence of the circula tion of a report that the French government had determined on uispatching a squadron thither forthwith, for the purpose of en forcing certain claims pending between that country and Mexico; and although nothing determinate appeared to he known on the subject, still by many the excedition was looked for daily. The reports from the Real del Monte mines are of a very encouraging nature, and the Hope has brought a consideraule remittance in bar silver from them on account of the shareholders. OUTLINE OF KINNEAR'S CAREER. As our readers may have some curiosity respecting, the former career of an individual who has made so much noise in.the world as John Kinnear, we will give a few of the leading par ticulars of his life. He is, if we mistake not, a native of Mon trose. Ile married a Miss Donaldson, of Perth, whose maiden name he has recently assumed, and was at one time a partner in the house of Robinson, Tate, Kinnear, and Co., of Glasgow ; and, if we are not misinformed, bid also some connexion in business with a member of the Monteith family. Though we believe he did not actually fail at Glasgow. he was not success fulin business there, and consequently removed to Liverpool some time prior to the year 1810. Here he very soon launched out in an extent of speculative dealing and of accommodation paper, which up to that time had probably never had a parallel rn this country ; and he eventually involved several other very considerable houses, and an immense number of smaller con cerns, in utter ruin. Amongst other exploits, he is said to have drawn an. - 1 to have succeeded in negociating a bill for upwards of 1;80,000, (we believe £85,000,) which was subsequently generally stated to have been trained and glazed, and kept in the private office of a Liverpool banking-house, by whom the bill was discounted. This bill gave occasion to the following lines, constituting part of a poem written in the year 1810, and entitled "Things as they are at Liverpool." It was published in the Liverpool Mercury, and, we believe, was uLderstood to have been the production of a well-known Liverpool merchant. Having previously alluded to the prevalence of accommodation bills, known by the cant name of "kites," the writer proceeds— " In those blest days when credit ran so high, Kinnear could make an eighty thou.sand fly : But God help them—God help the silly pack, Who piaced themselves, adventurous on its back. Their dreadful till.—and oh ! what numbers fell, — Let the Gazette's recording pages tell." We believe hat on Kinnear's - bankruptcy, which took place in 1810, the amount of his debts was nearly a million sterling; those of the other houses connected with him in bill transactions, and involved in his fail, amounted to an enormous sum; and the misery and ruin infli c ted, n o t only upon Liverpo o l, but on Manchester and the manufacturing district; generally, were frightful in the extreme. After his failure Kinnear went to London, and was not, we, believe, much heard of until the year 1817, when certain cri minal proceedings against him were commenced, which ter minated in his being tried at Guildhall before Chief Justice Abbott, together with. several other persons, on a charge of conspiring to defraud the king's subjects, by setting up three or four persons in business as merchants in Loudon, giving them an appearance of wealth, which enabled them to procure cre dit in various quarters, and finally defrauding a large number of petsons in Manchester and elsewhere to the extent of nearly £lOO,OOO. Three of the defendants, namely, Kinnear, Lewis Levy, and Mozley Woolf, were convicted inn the deafest evi dence, and sentenced to an imprisonment of two years each, in addition to a fine of £lO,OOO on Woolf, and £5,0(30 on Levy. Kinnear, in pursuanceof his sentence, was confined in Ilchester Gaol, and was one of the witnesses to support-the charges pq ferred against the gaoler, William' Bridle, by the wed-known henry Hunt, who was also confined 'at llchester at the seine time. Shortly after the termination of 'the imptiQonment at 11- chester, - Kinnear established a bank at Brighton, under tiie title, if we are not mistaken, of the Royal B a nk, an d a consi derable number of his notes found their way into Manchester, Liverpool, &c. In the former town an office arcs opened to ne gotiate them. This was in 1823, when loc - al notes were begin ning to acquire currency in the town, awl many of them were taken by inca u tious persons. most of whom, of course, lost their money. Kinnear is also known to- have been connected with the "Mersey Bank," which was established in Liverpool Some where about the same time, but which, we believe, was not a very successful speculation. Fur some time previous to his committal, he lived partly in London and partly in France, hut was not much before the ST A '49-,A D _Y~frP]~Y.S:BY9C7!2"✓~i Fiß~fh '_w~ kt 'r~: ll'_:4'~l '".'.. f.l~t77~ ;' T:'ti:aL2a3A : 4'IP3::.NCQ `. Q;G'!}Fr; LANCASTER EASTER QUARTER SESSION'S APRIL 2. IMPOitTAMT PLI.ONY CASE. Joseph Cazneati, a young man of respectable appearance, anti, we understand, of respectable connectiuus In Liverpool, was put to the baron a charge of having stolen, at- Liverpoot, S bales of cotton twist, the property of Gustavus Findeisou anti others. —The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the jury was scorn: Mr. Wilkins addressed the jury forthe prosecution. Ile was glad to be able to congratulate the jury on their labours being so limited; but, whilst he congratulated them on the circum stance of their being but one case for their consideration, be begged to call to that one their most serious attention. - He would also add, with all respect, that it was a case which re quired the close attention of, nut only the jury, but the bench, as on the latter would devolve the duty of explaning to the former the construction of the laws. It was somewhat curious and intetesting to mark the history of our English laws on the sub ject of larceny, if merely to show the expansible principles of those laws, and the readiness with which they might be adapted to meet particular circumstances, and such exigencies as time might bring round. The definition formerly held was, that, to . constitute a larceny, it was necessary to show a felonious intent:l. hat was the old . construction ; but to meet the exigencies of the times, a inure extensive construction arose, and what was called a constructive taking was admitted; so that the law did not require an actual theft to be proved, but that the property in question was obtained by fraudulent means. and with a fraus duleut intention. That was larceny. He had not the privilege of hearing the law laicldown in the charge to the grand jury; but if he was wrong, the able bench before whom he spoke would correct him. If, for example, they found that the prisoner at the bar had obtained possession of the goods said to be stolen, with intent to defraud the owners, that would be larceny. .11, again, they found he gut possession with no such original inten tion, but as what was called a bailee—that was, the goods were intrusted to his care,—and if by an act of his, he put an end to the contract .for bailment, from that moment the larceny com menced. Mr. Starkie, in his book of evidence, held that if a carrier broke open a box delivered to his care, and appropriated its contents, though at the ti me h e en t er t a i ne d no such intention, that would be felony, the privity of contract being determined there was no longer any question. That, he (Mr. Wilkins) apprehended, met the case. First, if the jury believed at the time the prisoner received the goods he had a felonious intention, they would have no difficulty in finding him guilty. With rea gard to original intention, it was laid down by Mr. Archbold that if a carrier took out and appropt iated part of a bale of goons intrusted to his care, that was a good proof of an original inteu lion to commit felony ; and then came Mr.Starkie's case, where, supposing that there was no such origins! intention, but that the contract for bailment was put an end to, the larceny would commence. Having stated what he aoprellentled was the law, he would now proceed to detail the facts of the case they were about to try. The prosecutor was a merchant of Manchester, in partner= ship wit h two other merchants; one of whom iesided at Berlin, and the other at Hamburg. it appeared that in the month of June last, he received instructions to ship some twist by a vessel called the Josephine, and lie forwarded a letter to the house of Messrs. Peter Sorenson and Co. of Liverpool. [Here the learned coun sel read the letter. It was an order foe shipment to Borga, by the Josephine, and itfurther asked Messrs. Sorenson to auvise when the Josephine arrived, and say if she had room for the goods. He next read a letter in reply from Messrs. Sorenson, and written by the prisoner. This epistle stated that the Jose phine had not arrived, but was expected daily, and that they would sealure room and advise arrival. The first of these letters was dated the 14th of June, 1837, and the second the 16th of the same month.] Shortly after, the prosecutor went over-to Liverpool, and called and saw the prisoner, stating to the latter what were the instructions of the film, with regard to the twist. Thi prisoner said Mr. Sorensou had left the office, but that he would take care to have the goods shipped by the Josephine. On the 19th of July the goods were forwarded, together with a letter of advice and a specification of the goods. Fifteen bales were thus forwarded by the railway, and notice was given to the prisoner that there were 23 others at the prosecutor's brokers, in Liverpool, and a bill fur £47 ' , ls 24 sent fur acceptance, in consideration of a certain bale shipped on account or Snecken stroton, the owner of the Josephine. That bill the prisoner ac cepted, and it had come back dishonoured, [The letter of di rections sent by the prosecutor was here read. it merely gave the usual orders respecting payment of freight, insurance, &c. which was to be charged to the consignee at Borga; and referred to the bill of exchange just mentioned.' He should put in the bill of exchange, and prove that the prisoner accepted it. In August, in consequence of certain information, the prosecutor went over to Liverpool, arid found Messrs. Sorenson's office shut up, and the prisoner not to be found. He then went to Dublin, and there found eight bales which had been sold by auction. He should ,prove, by the prisoner's own admission, that he sent the bales to Dublin far sale. He understood the prisoner meant to tell the jury, that he only acted for Messrs. Sorenson ; but that would not avail him ; for, if an agent were guilty of dishonest or felonious acts, the jury would be told by the bench, that he was responsible. He (Mr. Wilkins) understood the prisoner meant to say that he did the act to meet Sorenson and Co.'s bills; but if so, why send the goods to Dublin, and incur tisk and freight, whilst there was a. more likely market near at hand, both at Liverpool and Manchester? That was - point for the jury's consideration. But suppose Sorenson himself had so disposed of the go ids, he apprehended he would stand in the saute position as the prisoner; and if so, a liatiori, the prisimer teas guilty. He had to inform the jury, in conclusion, that two bales were found at the railway station. He begged, in justice to the prosecutors, lo.say, that they were actuated by no vindic tive feeling; and he begged to say, also, that they did not come there, as was said, to oppose the prisoner in the Insolvent Debtors' Court; and he (the prisoner) knew that. He knew he could have asked the prosecutor for proof of his 'debt, andte could not have substantiated it. The prosecutors had only done what they conceived to be their duty to the public, and to the corn met cial world in particular, who would be.subject to like frauds, unless the parties perpetrating them were dragged forward to answer for themseltres at the bar of justice. He apprehended they had done their duty, and that the prisoner would be proved guilty Of the charge alleged against him. Gustavus Findeison sworn:—l ant a merchant residing at Manchester. I have two partners, Sigismund Antoine Liebert and John Joseph Liebert ; one at Hamburg, and the other at Berlin. We forwarded a letter to Messrs. Sorenson, on the 14th dune last. I undertake to swear this is a copy s.f the letter. [The letter was here read.] I received an answer. [The answer of the 1611 i June was here put in and read.] The signature is the prisoner's. lam acquainted with his hand-writing. Our firm is carried on as S. A. and J. J. Liebert. I had occasion to go to Liverpool shortly after. I called at Sorenson's office. the best of my recollection, I spoke to the prisoner. I can not say; there were two persons, and, to the best of my belief, he was one. He s l oke t o me . 1 never considered the prisoner as an agent. I asked for Mr. Peter Sorenson, but he said he was not in. He did not tell me he had *gone to America. I talked about the Josephine. 1 asked if she had arrived, and he said she had not. I said I should like to know when she arrived, and he said he would let ism know. It was because I intended to send the goods, which I described as twist and cotton. Short ly after, I forwarded a letter of advice to Messrs. Sorenson and Co. [Letter dated July 19, 1837, and the accompanying spe cification of the goods, was here put in and read.] According to that advice I sent a bill. [The bill referred to in the letter, and accepted .by the prisoner, was put in and read. It is the custom to present for acceptance immediately. From informa tion I had received, I had occasion, the latter end of August, to go to Liverpool. I went to Sorenson's office. It was closed. I went to Cayman's place; but I did not find him there. I did not find him at all. The Josephine was in port. None of our goods had been shipped by Sorenson. I found two bales at the railway station, and these I shipped myself. With the excep tion of those, no other was shipped by the Josephine. In conse quence of further information, I went the day after to Dublin, and found 500 bundles of the cotton twist there. I could swear to its being .ours. When speaking of bundles, bulk had been broken, and sold by action. I found the goods at a manufac turer's house. I returned to Liverpool, and since then the pri soner has been made bankrupt. I attended the last examina tion of the . bankrupt. I did not prove any debt. He was exa mined about the twist. I had not received one farthing fur the goods sent. Cross-examined by Mr. Boileau. The firm in Hamburg is John JoSeph Liebert only, but that at Berlin the same as that at Manchester. I considered that Sorenson had received the goods to be sent to Sueckenstromm. At Liverpool, I believe it was Joseph Cazneau who spoke to me. There was another clerk. He said, Mr. Sorenson was not in, and came forward and spoke to me. He only said, Mr. Sorenson was out; he did not say, where he had gone. I took his answer as that of a clerk. I only said, I considered him as no agent, because I only knew Peter Sorenson and Co., and the twist was sent to him. I was not on board the Josephine; but I knew there was none of the goods on board, from a conversation with the owner. Never Id any transactions with Sorensons' before. The letters were signed by procuration, and the bills were accepted in the same way. I considered. Peter Sorenson and Cos-responsible. The bill was never paid ; we were obliged to pay it ourselves. , Caz neau's place was near the water somewhere; he had no office. 1 beard Messrs. Peter Sorenson and Company were Danish consuls. I found the goods at a manufacturer's in Dublin. I inquired first at Mr. H. Littlewood's, and after that at Mr. Littledale's, the auctioneer. He said, he had received the goods direct front Peter Sorenson and Co. I attended the bankruptcy. I did not prove, because I was not asked. I un derstood my examination would come after the creditors were done with. I stated whet had been done, and said that I had not received the twist. I did not make any claim. This is my handwriting [a paper handed to the witness.] 1 know Sneck enstrowm, and have received letters front nine too. I think that is his signature [a paper handed.] This looks somewhat different, but it is impossible to tell [speaking to another paper.] I think there is a difference. I deal largely in foreign transac tions. I do not know the custom of Finland. A bundle of twist is Nibs; so that I found about five bales in Dublin. One bale, 't F.S. 51," was on Sneckenstromm's own account. The value would he about £so—from £44 to £5O. I was here before the Insolvent Debtors' Court. I looked at the schedule to see if my name was inserted. I found it there. It was disputed. • Re-examined by Mr. Wi t. alas.— I never considered myself a creditor of the prisoner. I lodged a detainer. When goods are shipped, the bill of lading would show it. I saw the letter' to Mr. Littledale. It was signed by Joseph Cazneau. William Rosetre.—l am clerk to Messrs. Lowndes and Ro binson, of Liverpool. I attended the examination of the pri soner before the bankruptcy commissioners. [The examination was here produced and read. lu the course of it the prisoner admitted that he had received the letter of advice from Mr. Findeison before he shipped the goods to Dublin.] Here the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. Boloaa o objected thaathe other side had failed to prove that the property belonged to the prosecutor. It was plain he consulered Sorenson and Co. answerable. The bill took that part at least, for ulna's it was considered payment, out of'the prosecutor's hands; and as to the rest, he contended that the railway coinpany would have been answerable, but having de livered it over to Sorensona it became' theirs. The COU RT said the property was still Mr. Findeison's, and over-ruled the objection. Mr. Boma:au then addressed the Jury.—llis learned friend had truly laid clown the law of larceny; but he apprehended • that there was one iegredient that he hart wholly failed to supply in flits case, amid that was the original intention to commit felony, There was nothing whatever, in evidence, to prove that at the time the goods were sent by the railway, the prisoner made application for them; and unless they could prove that he intended to appropriate, the indictment could not be held good. The prisoner was only d ie agent o f S orenso n and Co., and how could the jury say the goods were frandulentiv obtained? Was there ore •word as to the fal s e pretence? 'Was It not clear throughout- that the prisoner acted only as the agent of Sorenson and Co.? and if he co uld show that the.goods.were parted with liv hem as the agent of Sorenson, they must acquit horn. Unless there was eroved a wrougfol appropriati(t, he was•clearly actin g fur them tonverled th e goods. Was there any benefit to be derived by the pris o n er ? No. Did he receive any commission ? No. lie (Mr:Boileau) would distinctly show the jury time grounds on which the goods were sent to Dublin. It wits at the urgent instanceof one Mur phy, w h o h a d is c l a im in Sorenson and Co. 51r.-Peter S ore son, belore he left the country, had given the prisoner a general ••• to act for That power was recognised, and the potti • . pri soner sent over the goods in consequence of the threats - of Mur phy. Ile did it to relieve Messrs. Sorenson and Co.'s difficulties. H e admitted that a great breach of trust hail been com mitted, but he thought he should also be able to show t bat it was at most but a cause of civil action. He would prove that Sneckenstromm had. himself, received front the prisoner a certain bill, and had discharged all liability as to thir- ,Ld ,,,, Jia - JONUMNOW4O2nI,,, ~.^fh'~*: ""AS' , 7ytcr-c ',-i G F :iF~ +;`!~ 4 tY~'+£ ^ vSß=~. r teen bales; and' if Sneckenstromm took from the prisoner a hill in discharge of a certain debt, he wondered on what gmund the prosecutor could say he had received no benefit. It Was all very true, that at Liverpool Mr. Findeison did not meet with the prisoner; but the reason must be evident. So renson and Cu. were in diincolty, and Murphy was strongly urging his claims upon them. The prisoner resided at the other sine of the water, an d was hi mse lf in no flourishing circumstan ces. If his intentions had been fraudulent, would he not first have satisfied his own creditors with the proceeds of the goods on the spot, and divided the money amongst his creditors ? Further, Mr. Findeison had taken„ a bill, and he said he held Sorenson and Co. answerable. Well, five bales were found at Dublin ; and if he thought there was any debt, why did he not claim ? The fact of his not claiming was strong evidence to show that he did not think the prisoner was liable. His learned friend said he had not opposed him in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, but his learned friend did oppose him. Mr. Wilkins.--I did not—for Mr. Fendeison. Mr. Boileau.—ln fact, the property was made the subject of litigation in every way. He should prove that there was an action pending for the recovery of the goods. His friend said the crown prosecuted, but it was at the instance of particular in dividuals, as in all other cases. Then what were the jury to say about vindictive feelings? He would show that, about the 3rd of June, Peter Sorenson went to America; that, before doing so, he applied to the prisoner to know if he would act, not only as his commercial agent, but as vice-consul for Sweden and Norway; that after arriving in America, he acknowledged that agency. Ile should show that Captain Sneckenstromm had induced the prisoner to give him a bill,—that he received a bill for the full amount, and discharged him. Mr. Wilkins.—My learned friend cannot do this, I appre , hend ? Mr. Boileau.—Down to the latest moment he contended that no fraud was committed by the prisoner; and if there was no fraud, the • jury could not convict. Mr, Clarke, from the bench, observed that he never knew a case more completely stripped of all difficulties. It was a clear larceny; if not, there was an end to all security in trade. Hannah O'Neill, a smart-looking young woman, fashionably attired, was first examined for the defence. I was housekeeper to Mr. Cazneau. He lived in Upper Tranmere. He was living there in August. In that month, on a Sunday, Captain Sneck enstromm came, and• Geraldson, clerk to Messrs. Sorenson and Co. Captain S. called on the Thursday morning afterwards. Other persons came and they were admitted. Mr. Cazneau did not join them that morning. On the Thursday morning, Capt. S. called, but he (lid not get in. I told him Mr. Cazneau was not at home. He was not satisfied, and went round the house and looked in at the parlour window. He saw Mr. Cazneao about three weeks afterwards. I saw a receipt. He gave a bill; Geraldson was present then. Geraldson Called previously. He brought a letter, and gave it to me. • John Geraldson.l am a Norwegian. I was clerk to Messrs. Sorenson, and Co. Mr. Sorenson left England,•l think, in the month of May. Ido not 'know the cause. I did not keep his books. There was an English clerk. I took the foreig❑ part. I know the prisoner. He came frequently to the office, after and before Mr. Sorenson went away. • I acted on his instruc tions. I did so because I knew,he had a power of attorney, as agent. I do not remember when the bales were sent. I was present with Captain Sneckenstrom and the prisoner in August. He gave a bill to Captain Sueckenstromm, who took it with him. He is in Finland. Mr. Wilkins addressed the jury in reply. He knew his learned friend's conscientious zeal on behalf of his client, and he respected his knowledge of the Law t but he was sorry that on this occasion his zeal had led him into a line of defence, to support which, he was obliged to resort, not to common law, but what he might designate very uncommon law.. He (Mr. Wilkins) however, could observe, that the court clearly saw through the case, and, from the intimations that were given, he had reason to think it would agree with the law as he had humbly laid it down. It was clear the goods were forwarded with special advice and a most scrupulous order, and there was proof that,. in vidation of that advice and that order, the goods were sent to Dublin: It was also proved that the prisoner was keeping out of the way, and th,,t, with othereircumstances com bined, led to the inference that he knew he was doing wrong. Another strong fact was that the prisoner did not tell Mr. Fin deison that Mr. Sorenson was gone to America; but, on the contrary, held out a pretence by implication, in order that lie might get possession of the goods, he well knowing that if he had said Sorenson had gone out of the country, he would never have got the goods. There wasi therefore, good'evidence o f hi s guilty intention. It would b e I`'r the jury to say so by their verdict, and he had no doubt thfprisoner would be ultimately dealt by with judgment and justice. The Chairman summed up.. He observed that the law of lay ceney, as laid down by the learned council, be had no reason to disagree with, and he believed it was pretty much to the same effect as what he himself had addressed to the grand jury. Sup posing the prisoner had got the goods with a view to misappro priation,. that would be guilt ; and there was also the ease of a party in the character of a bailee—that was when property was confided for some special purpose—it the party intrusted di verted the property to purposes of his own, that would also be larceny. Of course, neither court nor jury could look into the prisoner's mind, and say what his intentions were; and they were Obliged to judge.frion the circumstances of the case. The prisoner bad received letters .to ship certain goods, and what would be the natural conduct of a person meaning fairly on re ceiving the goods; Would he not have told the prosecutor, that Mr. Sorenson had gone to America r'' Did the jury think it probable, if that was stated to Mr. Findeison, that he would have intrusted the goods to the prisoner? That appeared to afford proof of the prisoner's intention. Did he ship the goods afterwards? No. Even on his own admission he said he sent them to Dublin. He (the chairman) Was not aware of any right he had, in contravention of nis directions, to do that; and it was for the jury to say what inference they drew from it. He could not cocceive, either, that any authority from Captain Sneckenstromin - would so authorize the prisoner. The goods belonged to Mr; Findeison, and it did not appear that he had received any payment from Captain Sneckenstromm. The jury, however, would judge. They would look at the prisoner's conduct, and if they saw any reasonab:e grounds for doubting his guilt, they would, es i . n all other cases, giVe him the benefit of that doubt; but if not, it would be their duty to find him The jury immediately returned a vcrditt of guilty. Fendeison, on being asked by the"bench the value of the whole property, replied that it was about £7OO. The Chairman proceeded to pass sentence. The offence of which the prisoner had been found guilty was one of a very se rious complexion, and they had seen many persons sent from that court out of the country on charges of a much lighter die. It %vas necessary, for the protection of the public that such cases should be met with due severity'--the moral guilt was very great, and it was' right that the punishment should be com mensurate. The sentence of the court was that the prisoner be transported for seven veins. This was the only f4,ny case on trial, and at its conclusion (about six) the court adjourned. SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANK: TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Sza,—l observe in your paper of the 27th ult., that in the re port of a trial, "'Thomas and another, assignees, v. Connell," Mr. Cresswell is made to say :—" In this way the South ,Lan• cashire Bank got some £l,lOO, the produce of goods which were sold under circumstances which induced the assignees, at the last assizes, to bring an action, which terminated in a verdict which compelled- them to refund the money they had so re ceived." Passing over whether these words were used by_the learned counsel in error, or inserted by your reporter by mistake, as 'not material, I beg to assure you that the South Lancashire Bank never did have a fraudulent preference—no action was brought against it. and no refunding ever took place. The facts of the case are these:—Brown and Cheetham opened an account with this bank, but we would not open that accoubt and take their bills without a guarantee ; and Messrs. Lilly, Bentley, and Brown, sen., guaranteed the bank accord ingly. Now, when Brown and Cheetham were in difficulties, the bank naturally and properly called on the sureties, and they paid Off the money, and there the transaction ended, as far as this bank was toncerned. It is true that the assignees brought an,action against those sureties for obtaining' a preference, and they were obliged to repay the m oney th e y had o obtained; but the South Lan. cashire B an k h a d no thing to !lo with this; it was never applied to to refund any thing either in this case or any other.

Sta,—in your last number you inserted a letter addressed to the pilots, which you say is "supposed to have emanated from Mr. Aikin." As I was ignorant of such a letter having been written until I saw it in your paper, I must disavow the compliment you of course intended to pay to me. Allow me to take this opportunity to state, that during the long period I acted as a member of the Pilot Committee I never asked a pilot to vote on any occasion.

STEAM VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTICM 1819. n Sun day last arrived here, in 26 days from Savannah,* the steam ship Savannah, - Captain Rodgers, (brother to Commodore Rodgers,) burthen 319 ton s; h e r destination is said to he St. Petersburgh. as a present to the Emperor Alexander.—( Gore's Advertitel, June 24, 1819.(—The Savannah, steam-ship, which arrived here last week from Savannah, is the first steam-vessel which had crossed the Atlantie. She is a beautiful vessel, and was built at New York, under the inspection of her commander, Captain Rodgers. Her hurthen is 319 tons. Her destination is said to be St. Petersburgh, as a present to the Emperor Alexander. An amusing incident is related in the Irish papers reapecting this vessel. When off the coast of Ireland, she was observed bs the Kite, revenue erusien„)~,ieutenant BoWie. The Kite chased her during the day, going ten knots, supposing h er to be a ship tin tire, when at length, perceiving the Kite in chase, she stopped her engine till the latter came up.—(Liver pool Courier„lune 30. 1819.) The ship mentioned above was' not a " genuine — steamer, having been fitted for sailin g as well as steaming. Besides, the memo steam engines built twenty years asp, were greatly inferior to those manufactured now-a-days. The performance of , the Savannah, which look port of that on the passage from the American twenty-six days name, cannoi,rherefore, be compared with the expected per formance of the Sirius or the Great Western, both of which will, it is thought, reach New York in fifteen days.—Ed.

Vie tilurpool ,Stanbarti. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1838. rj- The Publication of the STAN DA RD commenced this morn for at 5 o'clock THE REVENUE.—The official tables of the revenue. received to the close of the year and quarter which ended on Thursday night, present a considerable defalcation is comparison with the public receipts for the correspond. ing periods of last year. The falling off upon the pre sent amounts to £2.332,364 upon the y ear, and of £492,420, or nearly half a million, upon the quarter. The decline is observable under almost all the-heads -of public income, except that of the Postoffice and repay ments of public money alone. In the C us t oms , t h e dif ference betw een the two financial years is against thee 'present to the amount of £1,251,658, and upon a com parison of the quarter, £374,835. The Excise, also.. upon a similar comparison, wilt be found deficient, upon the year £1,049,557, and upon the quarter of £:28,590. The returns from the stamp duties prove less productive by £209,114 upon the year, but have improved upon the last quarter, and exceed the present receipts by £29,732. The assessed.taxes have declined by £54,811 upon the year, and £50,643 upon the quarter. The Postoffice has improved upon the year and quarter in the sums of , £28,743 and £2,000 respectively. There is under the head of " miscellaneous taxes" a falling off amounting. to £15,978 lot the year, and of £493 for the quarter. The excess in the returns from repayments of public moneys amounts to £220,011, and £30,409 for the re eespective piriods. • The sum to be raised by Exchequer Bills f cr the service of the quarter is calculated a £5,172,428. The simpering'Cl)ancellor of the Exchequer will, no doubt, invent some specious tale to account for the alarm ing falling off which has taken place in almost every branch of the revenue.. It will, perhaps, be attributed to the languid state of our American trade; but this can scarcely be deemed a satisfactory' reason, as the de ficiency in the Excise department is almost as great as that in the Customs, whilst the Stamps, Taxes, and Miscellaneous receipts have likewise experienced a con siderable decrease, The Whigs have hitherto been fertile in expedients two produce a fictitious increase in the cevenpe, by forestal ling the receipts of successive quarters. But such trickery must obviously have an end. We shall be cu rious to know in what department Mr. Spring Rice will make his reduction of taxation for the ensuing year. We shall also look with some anxiety for the speeches of cheese paring Hume, on the introduction of the budget. No doubt the increased expenditure incurred in frustra ting the revolutionary friends of Joseph in the Canadas will form an excuse for the prudent abstinence of that rigid economist from his pruning operations. CREATION OF PEERS.—The approaching coronation. will afford Lord Melbourne an opportunity of exercising his patronage iu a manner which will necessarily increase to the temporary influence of the ministry. It is expected that forty or fifty fresh creations will take place in the peerage on that occasion. There can be no doubt that many votes in the House of Commons, and, perhaps,. some few in the House of Lords, are dependent upon the realisation of 'the hopes of those who are looking for the honours whichLord.Melbourne will have to dispense. Of course, many of these must be disappointed in their - expectations, and bitter will be the vindictive feelings to which such disappointment will give rise. It would . seem that her Majesty, jealous of the honour of here crown, is extremely cautious lest the premier should too far extend the privileges with which he is invested.. Her - Majesty has no partiality for that indiscriminate sort of elevation to the peerage to which the retainers of the present ministry look forwards. She is desirous of up holding the dignity of the House of Lords, a course to which the creation of any considerable number of radical' peers will by no means contribute. The Queen has no ambition to convert the House of Lords into a bear . garden, such as the House of Commons frequently re— sembles; she will, therefore, place an interdict upon the importation of any of the Irish papists. into the upper chamber. A great number of the rejected eal3dicic(tes at the last.. elections are spoken of as likely to be. raised tip the peer age. Among these are enumerated. Mr. 1 - ,"•a u l Methuen., the rejected of Wiltshire ; Mr. Ttacey,, the rejected 0 1. Bridgenorth; Sir John Wrottesle:„ the rejected of Staffordshire ; and Mr. '!'vote, ti je rejected of BridgeT water..

The following Irish lords are in expectation . of being: elevated to the peerage :—Lords Lismore, ossmore; Keninare, Cranmore, Listowell, Arran, Rancliffe, gent, and Langford. W ho are all these worthies t Echo answers " Wh o ?" The less that is said of many of them the better. This batch will do little to elevate the character of the British peerage—they may da much to degrade it.
