As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums, the Child will he relieved; the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious; tending to produce the Teeth with ease; and so pleasant that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with !t. When. Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the Nursery where there are young Chil dren, for, if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, thereby preventing Convul sions, Fevers, &c.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MONDAY, APRIL '27. (*LEY C. LORD FERKERS. . . . . The Lords Cciminissioners were occupied, in their private room up to twelve o'cloCk iu hearing this case, after which they took their seats in'court; _ _ ATTORNEY-GENERAL D. THE SOCIETY FOR EDUCATING NEGRO SLAVaS. Wigrain stated this to be an application by the parties interested in the charity, the objecf - 61 — Which was that a new scheme might be [rained for the administration of the trust funds. The charity was.originally founded fur the religiousiu struction 'of slaves in America. After the declaration of inde pendence the charity-funds were devoted, under the sanction of this court, for the instruction of slaves in the West Indies, and a diode'. of incorporation was granted to the society, the de fendants' on this record. To . that society was intrusted the management alid distribution of the income of the estates, which was very considerably increased beyond the original foundation, and which now amounted to a sum of £2,300 per annum. A new difficulty had, however, now arisen. By the late acts of the legislature' there were no longer any persons called negro slaves in the Wed India colonies; slavery had ceased, and it became not only necessary to have a new chattel, but also a new scheme, because, although the old scheme included free persons of colour, a doubt was entertained Nvhether the words'ot• the scheme could be held to include the great mass of the negro polio littion in their present condition. 'I he object of the present application therefore was that the court would order a reference generally to the master, unless their lordships were of opinion that a partial reference might answer the purpose. . ,Their lordships were of opinion that there must be a general reference to the master, which they directed accordingly. CONSISTORY COURT, TURSDiY, APRIL 28. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PilunioTED BY CHICK, AGAINST RAMSDALB AND CHICK, FALSELY CALLED BAMsDA.LE. This was a case of incest, the female being the sister of the man's former wife. The court considered the fact of incest proved, but deferred its sentence when the case was heard last term, in order to ascertain whether it was justified in cuMplyitlx with the prayerto . annul the marriage, contained in the articles, but which had not been set forth in the citation. Dr. Lushington now said that the evidence.was so clear as to the fact charged against the parties that it was dot requisite to advert to the evidence. His only reason for deferring judgment was a doubt in his own mind as to the correctness of the pro ceedings. He had, however, found two cases, one in 181 t., and another in 1789, before the Court of:Arches, in which the cita tion had been the "same as in 'this,case, and vet the court bad annulled the marriage. Unless he was satisfied that these two precedents had occurred through accident, and without sufficient care and caution, he apprehended it was his duty . to follow the example of the superior curt, and, althougtahe might entertain a doubt in his own mind whether he form of the decree was so correct and full as it ought to have been, he felt bound by pre cedent, and should Sign the sentence as it stood. The marriage annulled; the parties assigned to perform pe nanceziext Sondes week, and condemned in costs. REPORT'. MANSION HOUSE.—MosnAy. A POOR ORPHAN.—Francis Tuthill, a translator of shoes, from Ireland, and aged about sixty years, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following orcuinStances : Thomas Fleming stated, that be came over from Ireland to buy clothes in Cutler-street, and he brought a purse of money with him, which he stitched up in a bag, and hid in a hole in his bed. He mude some purchases amongst the Jews, and the pri soner and the prisoner's brother helped him home with them, for which service he " tould em he'd wet their whistle," and he accordingly ordered in about six or eight pots of beer. When he took 'his share he felt rather heavy, and he lay down upon the bed, and when he awoke his bag of sovereigns andevery body else had vanished. The prisoner's brother, John Tuthill, was particularly attentive and kind to him, and of course he thought that John, who was nowhere, to be found, had robbed him; but be also supposed that the prisoner could tell all abotit it. The Lord Mayor.—What money . Itml you about you? Prosecutor.—Twenty-four sovereigns, and I stitched 'em up for safety. When I went to pay for t h e beer I was obliged to take a sovereign out of the bag, and when I looked for my money afterwards the d—l a bit of it could I see, and I knew ft couldn't walk off without hands. The prisoner.—Please your lordship, I only went into his room to say a word to my brother, and then I went away, but I came out just as rich as I went in, ayd that was without - a farthing in the world. I'm an honest poor fellow, and I have translated shoes ever since I came over to this country. I wish I was back again in Limerick, for this is, no place for a poor innocent fellow. Up comes this gentleman (the officer) and he tells me I'm a robber, and off he pikes me to gaol, and, God help we ! I've got neither father nor mother. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayon—Why, how old are you? Prisoner.;---A matter of about fifty-eight or fifty-nine. • The Lord Mayor.—Poor boy ! But as you are an orphan we must endeavour to• protect you. Prisoner. —Why, please your honour, I live next door to the. public house the two years I'm in London and. nowhere else, for I only came over last July twelvemonth. I don't know what my brother might have done, but I know the d—l a groat of the money I saw; and the minute I heard it was gone, I runs off to look for him. he Lord Mayor.—Oh ! you did? and where did you go to? Prisoner.--NV by, to Kingston, to be sure. 'The Lord Mayor.—What reason had you to suppose that he went to Kingston? Prisoner.—What reason, your honour? Why, no reason in particular; but I thought he might as well go there as any where else. (Laughter.) Mrs.lPeggy Fitzgerald.—Please your worship, I was in the public-house after the rumpus, and I heard people say that the poor man at the bar had very little to do with it. Prosecutor.—l said I would'nt care about spending £5 if they'd give me back my property; but I might as well tell a. bulldog to fast on a Good kriday. The - Lord Mayor.—What Couid you expect after swilling such a quantity of beer If you had been satisfied with half the number of pots, youwould not have lost your money. W hat can Ido for you in such a desperate case? This man has not got your moneyy, and he who has is not to be found. Several neighbouts.said that the prisoner's brother had never made his appearance since the robbery was committed, and that they really believed the prisoner had had no hand in it. The prisoner.—Ths cheers know me well, your honour , and I leave it to their breasts if ever they heard I done a dishonour able transaction. I'm supporting my two poor orphan children, for their mother has been so bad these last three months she arn't able to lend a baud,and so I'm obliged to, do it all myself; but howsomever, God be praised, I am able to get a bit of bread honestly, though both my father and mother are both dead and gone. 'The Lord Mayor.—Suppose I discharge you, will you endea vour to find.out your brother ? Prisouer.—That I will, your honour. Mind, I don't say he took any of the Money. There was a Jew and a woman come in while Tom Fleming was in the room, and he bought some clothes of them, and why mightn't they have whipped it off as well as he.? The prosecutor said he had no recollection of the parties ..de scribed. . The Lord Mayor, —Well, I'll discharg'e the prisoner upon his promise to assist the poor man who has been robbed. Prisoner.—God bless your honour. I wish you would do me another favour. Just send me and my family home to Limerick again, and I'll promise your worship never to show my face in England again. Here I've been locked up for three days, like a thief, for doing nothing but hunt twelve miles after my bro ther, to see whether he could tell me who the thief was. Oh, then, it's a rascally country to live in. LONDON GAZETTE.-TUESDAT, APRIL 29. WHITEHALL, AvitlL 23.

(From our own Correspondent.) One of the most numerous, and certainly the most respecta ble pubtic meetings ever held within the county of Chester, took 'Glace oh Tuesday last, at Northwich. The meeting was con villein); the High Sheriff, James EL Leigh,. Esq., of Graen • hall Lodge, in c•rusequeuee of a requisition signed by 130 of the nubility, magistracy, and great tended proprietors of the county, praying him to call such meeting, fur the purpose of expressing to his Majesty their unfeigned regret, that a factious Opposition shinild have occasioned the retirement from his coun- ' cils of ministers, on whose wise and temperate measures, then in progress in parliament, a great majority of the nation relied for the preservation of the protestant religion, and the safety of the constitution of the country; and also to express their serious alarm at the attempts now making, in the tower house of parliament, to increase the power and influence of the Roman catholic church of Ireland, at the expense of the protestant establishment of the United Kingdom. The meeting was appointed to be held at the large room of ' the Ciown luu, in Northwich, but it was found to be incapable of holding a twentieth part of those in attendance, and an ad journment was therefore made to a large field adjoining Witton Church. Thither the assemblage went in procession, headed by a band of music and sundry flags, bearing the mottos," For Kims, Lords, and Commons,"—and, "For Church and King." One man bore a black treusearency on the top of a long pole, on which appeared a death's head and cross bones, and the motto "No Popery." Another bore a similar transparency, at the top of which appeared a representation of his must satanic majesty, who wicked about a most prodigious tail, with the num ber of joints in it which are said to compose the tail of O'Con nell. limier this appeared the name of the grand agitator and thirty-two names of Irish members, making the tuetoorat,te fac tious majority of 33—fatal to the existence of the late ministry. -Beneath these were the words,—" Remember this majority of 33 Irish papi s ts h a ve decid e d for the plunder and destructiou of . the protestaut church in Ireland, and that they will do the same iu England ; the whigs have found the way.—Oh ! Oh! Oh!" On arriving at the field the hustings, composed of a few wag gons placed tegether, were speedily crowded; and the multitude being arranged beneath, the. High Sheriff, in the midst of a heavy fall of rain, which continued until a few minutes before the close of the proceedings, opened the business of the meet ingby reading the requisition which had been sent to him, and urging the meeting to hear the speakers uninterruptedly. • Lord Delatuere then stepped forward and was received with loud cheers. He said that although in general adverse to the calling of county meetings for the discussion of political subjects, or inched to the forMation of meetings or clubs for any political purpose whatever, yet in contradiction to these statements they saw his name amongst those who had signed the requisition to the high sheriffto call this meeting; and they also saw his name enrolled anain;gst those who had thought it essentially necessary for the gooderf the country to institute Intel coustitute themselves a conservative s Club in the county. (Cheers.) The excuse tie had teeriake for this seeming deviation from his general princi ples was one.which he trueted they would allow was a good one, —it was the fearful state of the times in which we lived, added to the numerous; extraordinary circumstances and acts that had lately occurred in this country, which he thought were of a most appalling nature and character: (cheers) he alluded to the very straege,e-not to use a stronger term in reference to it, — coalition between two adverse parties in the state, the circum stances connected with which were the most extraordinary ever heard of, And unprecedented in our parliamentary history, and which had compelled the late ministry,—a ministry in which the country confided,—to retire from their situations. (Cheers.) He (Lord Delainere ) had noticed with much pain for .a length of time the rapid strides, under the specious name of re form, that had been made eowerds the utter destruction of our 'glorious and happy constitution in church and state; (great cheering), and that the measures resorted to to effect this infa mous end had their origin in Ireland, tinder the auspices of that grand agitator O'Connell, by uniting with whom the whigs were biinging.ruin upon the country. (Cheers.) Thus was the repeal of the test act demanded and granted; then came the great question of the emancipation of the roman catholics, a measure which had been long struggled fur and contended against, until at length under the belief and the faith that it was to be a final act, and was to have the effect of tranquillizing Ireland, it was conceded, and• what good had resulted from it? (" None, none !") None whatever, unless they called that good which was effecting increased misery to our protestant clergy. (Cheers.) And now carnethe demand for the abolition .of.tithes,—and the endeavour to get possession of a large portion of ecclesiastical property for the purpose of converting it to secular purposes; if this were granted we might bid adieu to the existence of the protestant faith,—("and our property too,")—for that was not intended to be a final measure ;—no ! with that they who de mand it will not be content, and they make it their boast that they will never he satisfied until they have effected the separa tion of the two kingdoms. (Cheers.) This was the avowed determination of O'Connell, who was at the bottom of all the troubles that now shook the timer;—he,was the grand a,gita - er and instigator of those measures that were now in progress for the destruction of the constitution,—and unless we were ac tively and zealously determined to stop that progress, the coun try was lost to us for ever. (Cheers.) Uwe svisl;ed to protect our country, when that country was in da.neer,—if we would protect the protestant church when it was threatened anti at tacked,—if we would preserve all those dear blessings - which we now possessed, we must rouse ourselves, not for this occasion only, but on every occasion chew to the world and to posterity that we were determined to do Our best endeaveurs to defend our king, defend our church, and defend our constitution. — (Great cheering.) No one could form an idea of the advan tages accruing to those who were of conservative principles by the great assistance to their cause of Sir Robert Peel. (Cheers.) He had admirably, consistently, nobly, and with temper and judgment beyond precedent, conducted himself during his short ministry; and it was a source of bitter regret that he was now no longer the ministerial advocate in parliament of conser vative principles. Those principles were not possessed bt a majority of the House of Commons, but when they considered the number that still advocated their cause and their principles, as compared with theiwesent parliament, conservatives had no right to descend ((cheere.) He ...rid conclude by saying continue TOIll exertions and prosper. (Great cheering) had an undress to the king to priepose, Which had h, , ,n .sawn up by a friend of his, and which seemed to e mbody all the sen timents that he (Lord Delamere) "entertained On the subject, and he Should - Move that it be adopted. (Cheers.) Here some gentleman from the back of the hustings urged the propriety of putting down the devil, who was whisking his O'Connellite toil at the front of the hustings. His observe thins created much laughter, but the tail still continued to whisk away. Mr. Hostage, the Under Sheriff, then read the address to the King. Its reading was received with much acclamation, and at its conclusion three times three cheers were given fur the ad dress, and one cheer snore. Harry Mainwaring, Esc!. then stepped forward amidst much applause. He said, that having been called upon to second the address which had just been read, he should not shrink from the task, however incapable he felt himself of doing justice to it, for he thought that they were arrived at that perilous crisis which called for the active exertions of every lean who wished to save the institutions of the country from the danger which threatened them. , Atter alluding to the measures in contempla tion on the subject of the Irish chutch which he characterised as revolutionary and destructive, he asked whether there was a man present who was not convinced Of the truth of the state ments made to the house by Sir Robert Peel ? And yet, strange ., to say, there were 3'22 members found to vote in opposition to those statements. What was the conduct of the whigs in refer. once to tire Irish church question? In May last, Mr: Ward moved a resolution to the effect " That the protestant episcopal establishment in Ireland exceeded the spiritual wants of the protestant population, and that it was the right of the state to regulute the distribution of church property in such a manner as parliument might determine." At that time the whigs op posed the resolution by a majority of 396 to 120, Lord Althorp having stilted that -a commission had been appointed to in quire into the amount of the Irish church revenues. This was their conduct in Office ; what was their conduct out of office? Without waiting for the report of their own com mission, they actually propose such a measure as they last year opposed when in office, they resolve to apply to secular purpo ses what they are pleased to - term the "surplus " of the church revenues, but until their own commission had made their report how did they know that there was any surplus? Was conduct like this liberal or consistent? (It is Whig conduct and that ac counts for it.) It was neither liberal nor consistent, and for sooth they did not pursue this line of conductoto turn Sir Robt. Peel out ofoffice,—oh ! no, they did it for their country' s g ood (laughter and cheers) but yet it accidentally happened that .it did turn Sir Hobert out. ( Laughter.) No, they would prefer anarchy rather than Sir Robert Peel, (cheers) 'and it was our duty to tell them that ere twelve Months are over, they will have to fly to the arms of Sir Robert Peel for protection against the anarchy they had treated. God grant that it might not be too late. (Cheers.) The present ministry could not carry on without the assistance of those by . whom they were despised and countenanced, and in the mean time the country was in a state of confusion,—no person would embark property in any specu lation, and trade would stagnate,—the country relied solely upon Sir It. Peel, and to him only, he sincerely believed, were the interests of the country safely to be confided. (Cheers.) Mr. Mainwaring then referred to the memorable and spirited conduct of Queen Elizabeth, when told that the country was threatened with an invasion by the Spanish fleet; he sincerely hoped that the patriotic spirit which animated the breast of their good Queen Elizabeth, would now animate their gracious cove reign, that the same ardour which then.ewelled iu the breast of their forefathers in defence of their country would now reign in their 'breasts, and they should be found manfully standing forward in defence of their laws, their liberties, anti their reli gion. (Great cheering.) He would net . detain them much .perientms.:n(rainisto,_(.. 'They longer in the rain (cries of "goon") he would just observe, that at the last election, many members had made speeches, in which their expressed their determination constantly, and to the utmost oftheir ability, to defend the church. As to the abi lity of theme parties, if it could point out no better mode of pro tecting it than by throwing it over to O'Connell, much could not be said in its favour (laughter) and as to their consistency he should say no more than that if he in such a case had acted as they had done, he should be ever after ashamed to shew his face to his constituents. (Cheers.) He would conclude by ad vising them to support Sir Robert Peel, to rally round that man by whom alone he believed their property would be saved, and the constitution in its.integrity preserved. (Great c e heering.) George Wilbraham, Esq., one of the members for the South ern division of the county, here made some observations from the body of the crowd, and as soon as his voice was recognized, a storm of hisses and groans saluted him.—He was, however, with some difficult) , got into the hustings, and as soon as any thing like order mile he obtained, he observed that he had great doubts whether he ought to have attended this meeting— (cries of " no' one wanted you")—because the greatest part of the friends whose ()pinions corresponded with his own had u"reed n suppose p o d p - one e t not to attend to disturb tire harmony of the meeting, trot when o he understood that the present meeting was intended as an at tack upon high—(laugher, and cries of" we e rc :r ia, e eso n ern ,:t . l )t i you")—he was determined to attend to defend himself, and to show thiit he was not only always ready to meet his friends, but equally ready to face his opponents.—(Cheers,) could say that he had weed inconsistently, nothing that he bud' t ever hat eitherhe .would sai d su o i r w d o o r n t e a c t o o u r l y d u g l i i v re e f a o n n y tt h were a reforming ministry") -s-a ministry composed as that Of Sir Robert Peel was.--ee wished not to say anything dispar agingly of . Sir Robert Peel—(hear, bear)—he was a man of great power and great talent, but whilst he was surrounded by mete of a totally different character, it was impossible that lie 'could have the support of the House of Commons. (Great his sing.) He would not detain them many minutes if they would only hear him. 'The ministry had not thrown themselves into' the hands of O'Connell —("They have")—he denied it. Here ate groaningrbecame very great, and when it had partially sub sided, ,M,r. Wilbraham was heard to say that lie came not there' to Oporogize . oe to justify his. conduct, for any attempt at justi= ficatitin might,seem that he bad acted wrong—(biases)--he had. no such feeling, and if similar circumstances were again to happen, he should dentin vote precisely in the same way as he had done before.—(" You.must go to l'avistock then, we'll not have you here.") He would not further allude to any pette i ns i nua tions against his conduct, but would just make a few observations on the great subject of difference .among men, the Irish Church. (Hear, hear.) That church though simi- Ler in its doctrives to the established church of England was al together in different circumstances Ilona the church of Eng ,land were certainly a eery numerous body, but there was a ge neral disposition to support the church;—it was, however, totally different in Ireland, there the great body dissented from the church, for out of the seven millions.of inhabitants which it contained, there were nut 'more than half a million of protest ants,—(cries of "A million and a half")—and where there were many churches were no one attended but the minister and his faintly, and the clerk;—(" No, no," and Much hisaing)—where there was no coegregation!whatever, and yet everything went on at the expense of the inhabitants just the same as if there was. Now when it was found that in a great many parishes no one attended the churches, but the elegy man alone—(" It is not true ")—he thought it was high time that the funds devoted to the maintenance of these useless ministers should be applied to what would better satisfy the country, and be laid out iu supply iug christiau education to ail parts of the community. (Cries of "Off; off, we have heard-enough.") What had the tones been doing in Ireland for the last three centuries ? (" What are you doing there, .man?") He asked any man whether the tranquiliz a t ion o f Ireland would not be better effected by —("'robbing the church.") The laughter that followed this interpolation drowned the hon. member's voice, and the re mainder of his sentence was lost. He continued, he was a de cided enemy to sinecures wherever they were to be found in the state or the church. (" You are libelling . the church in Ire ' laud.") 'With respect to the word "faction" of which such liberal hse was made; he might observe that though he had fru.- quently heard of a ictious minority, be had never heard of a factious majority, but if faction must be spoken of, he'could point out certain factious parties, who, for the last three qr four years, had i m p e d e d th e b us i ness o f th e country, and carried on their factious proceedings to such a length as finally to sub vert the government. ("Off, off.") Now, to say that the present Ministry had done anything to impede the business of the country was not true,—(" It is,—O'Couneil and' Co.") Here the uproar became so great that it was impossible to catch more than au occasional observation of the hon. mem ber. We understood the tenor of his remarks to impute great blame upon the conduct of the tones during the time of the late Whig administrations. We at last managed to- hear him say that they might turn him out from the represeutation of the county, but they could never turn him from the principles which he professed. He did not think it necessary to enter into . a much longer discussion, during the heavy shower of rain, (which still continued) particularly as he was addressing an un willing audience,- but had they heard him patiently, he ,would have not justified his conduct for he was unconscious of having done anything that requiredit,—but he • would explain to them his reasons for every vote he had given in the House of Commons. (" You don't need.") He should continue the same line of conduct, because they were in accordanee with principles he had ever professed :—his. first motive in. every vote he gave was the good of the country, and the benefit of the people. He would do all he could to remove whatever btirdened or pressed upon the people, and at the same time he told them that he would never give up the interests of the'church—(" what church?")—of England, of which he is a sipcere member. (Cries of " Hypocrite,") He felt that he vVas addressing an unwilling audience—("you are")—and he should, therefore, conclude by thanking them far the imperfect attention: with which they bid listened to him. The resolution, that the address be adopted, was put from the chair and carried•unanimously. • W. 'l'. Egerton, Esq., one of the members for the. county, nest .addressed the meeting, and made some very severe re marks upon the conduct of the Whigs, which he tenned most factious and inconsistent. Trafford Trafford, Esq., chairman of the quarter sessions, in a verj , eloquent speech, moved the adoption of an address to Sir Hobert Peel, expressive of their approval of his character and coudnet. The motion was seconded by R. E. E.. Warburton, Esq.; who in allusion to Sir Robert Peel's ministry, said "the ruler of the feast was appointed, and was preparing to pour out the wine, when murmurs of discontent arose amongst the guests.— Smile said " your liquor is not, strong enough ;" others, " your measures are not large enough ;" and a thud party said, "we will not take wine from his hands, come, let us help ourselves." Thus, they have dashed the cup from his hands, unmindful of the intoxication which will follow their unmeasured draughts. " Those who will drink soberly and moderately," said Mr. Warburton, " meet at the sign of the Sir Robert Peel : those who will not, let them go to the sign of Dea►h's Head and C ross Bones with O'Connell." (Great cheering and laughter.) The address was unanimously adopted, and it was resolved, on the motion of Sir Richard Brooke, seconded by Col. Ford, to entrust both the addresses to the conservative members for the county, Sir Philip Egerton, and W. 'l'. Egerton, Esq., for presentation to the King and Sir Robert Peel. Thanks wcre then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. There were, at least,. six thousand peuplepreseut. CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT DEVONPORT. A dinner }vas given at the Town-hall, on Friday last, to the Risght Hon. George Robert Dawson, the unsuccessful candi date for the representation of the borough at the last general election, and the late secretary to.theAdmiralty Board, by the electors of Devonport. The company assembled was very nu merous 'and highly respectable. Mr.. Parker, the gentleman who is opposing Lord John John Russell's re-election for the county, was present. The health of Mr. Dawson having been drank with great en thusiasm, the right hon. gentleman returned thanks in a speech of great length, from which we take the following extraet.:— " At this moment when the whole country is convulsed owing to the dissolution of a ministry against which no imputation could with justice be made, beyond what party malice and dis appointed ambition could su gges t, I t rus t you will allow me, as an humble individual, but at the same time as one who, though humble,'selected by you for the proud distinction of being your represenlative, to call your attention to th e p e ril ous an d aw f u l crisis in which; we are placed. (Cheers.) We are now stand ing on the brink of a precipice. and events are accumulated, and things are coming to pass, long since predicted by those who have slr.wn themselves the enemies of uncalled-fur innovation, which unless averted by your good sense and patriotism, must ere long sink us in the lowest abySs of misery and despair. Let any man who has been a calmobserverof politissalevents during the/last five years, ask himself what have been the ehicf characteristics of the times. His answer must be, a slow and „!, oql out at the same time a sure and 'over whelming increase of democratic, iottaare. - (Heal, irear:s 111 - olden times it was the boast of 4nglishineu that our constitution was so nicely . balanced that the excellence of every one of its component parts was called forth to correct the defects of the whole, and, rice versa, that the influence of the combination prevented the occurrence of defects in its hi anches. 'I he dear bought experience of ages has limited the authority of kings, lords, and commons, within certain bounds; and so perfectly were those bounds prescribed that we find abuudance of inci dents in history to illustrate how promptly our ancestors took measures to reprass the over-influence of one part lest the safety of the whole might in consequence be risked. It can,-however, but be evident to every observer of public events that within the last five year's the equilibrium has been disturbed, that we are hastening, and will soon, unless we exert ourselves to check the spirit of insubordination abroad, arrive at an entire change in every part of our system. Tyranuy is hateful to every ear; it matters not whether originating, with a king, an aristocracy, or with the people—all kinds of tyranny are equally subversive of the liberty of the country and of the subject. (Hear; hear.) Tyranny has been fur centuries unknown in Engtaud; but I tell you there is now progressing, under the guise of liberty, a tyranny which, unless checked by you, and that speedily, will in the course of a few years lead, your country into endless and in exhaustible confusion. (Cheers.) Whence does this tyranny arise ? It arises from the encroachments of one of the com ponent parts of our system of constitution; it arises from the preponderance of democracy over the king and the aristocracy. (Hear, hear.) For my own part I confess I fear far more the dominion of a mob than I do the despotic sway of a single ruler. I dread far more the venom of the hydra with an hundred heads than I do the sting of the single serpent. I trem ble more at the braying of a flock of wolves than at the roar of the noble lion. (Cheers.) The tyranny to which I allude is making rapid strides in every part of our system; it advances with overwhelming force; and it will never retrograde until 'Englishmen unite together to give it a spirited resistance. Already has the prerogative of the crown been assailed, and it requires very little encouragement to "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs fif war" upon the privileges of the aristocracy. The patronage of the Crown is already attacked: he King is not even Permitted to select his own representative at a foreign court. ( Hear, hear.) -I do not intend to depreciate the merits of the reform bill, but this spirit of encroachment to which I allude, I must say has beeu greatly increased by the democratic tendency of that mea sure, and it will requite all the good sense and all the patriotism of Englishmen to check the ill effects of its provisions: (Hear.) There are two parties in operation at the present moment, the one composed of daring and fearless innovators, urged ou by the restless love of political experiments, and blinded by a mis chievous confidence iu their own infallibility; the other party, whose ruling principle is a strong attachment to the constitution of their country, whose practice is to prefer existing advantages. over specious but imaginary doctrines, to improve where im- . provement is wanted, and to resistaltOration where it is not re quired, and, th oug h l as t no t feat, to - support with spirit and for titude their King, their constitution, and their church.. (Loud cheers.) The one party would lead to a revolution, the other to preserve every thing dear to Englishmen. O n the one side are-arrayed the desperate and the reckless—the advrinturei in politics and the trader in religion—the man who live: but 'fromt hand to mouth—the man who has nothing to loose anctimich to gam---the political juggler; who is to be found in the cabinet of .the_King, end the parliamentary impostor, who is Job hornet., in the councils of the nation. (Loud cheers.) I ant porry to say that these characters are aided in their designs by many men of rank and wealth in the country—men Who ought to know better, but whose disposition is of so mercurial - ri'charac ter as sometimes to induce them to lend the weight'of their , names and station to the lowest and most, despicable artifices of . faction, and too often to barter their principles and opinions for ' the momentary gratification of ambition or caprice. (Cheers.) On the side el' the other party stands in array . the wcidth, the renk, the property, the intelligence, and the independence of the country—almost all the professions—men who love the con ; stitution from a recollection of the practical benefits they have received . fromit—men who respect the property of their neigh- Wore because they have property of their own to lose—men who abhor spoliation because contrary to the laws of God and mien—men who will not alter their opinions or barter their prin ciples front the love of power or the gains of office. (Cheers.) These, gentlemen, are the two parties at present in conflict in the country, and I leave to von to choose between them. (Cheers.) What bas already Leen the result of that conflict? Look to the frequent changes of the executive government. Within the last four or five years we have had no less than five changes in the government of the country. Everything has been unsettled, everything is at sea. No man, whether in com merce, trade, or profession, could calculate to -day what might _turn up to-morrow. The tradernen has been id dismay—the merchant. in constant terror of change and alteration. Now, let me ask you, what is the cause of this perpetual conflict? was trio cause of the overthrow of Earl Grey's govern ment—a government which, it was boasted, was calculated to last for half a century? Was it the withdrawal of the King's confidence? No. \V al it occasioned by a vote of the House of Commons? No. How, then, was it occasioned? By the treachery of his own associates, and by the power which he called "the pressure from without," but which, in point of fact, meant the submission which those associates paid to democratic power—a submission which lie (Earl Grey), as a senator, and a man-learned in the lore of the constitution of the country, knew was inconsistent and hostile to that country's safety. (Loud cheers.) Lord Grey's government was followed by that of Lord Melbourne. Could there possibly have existed, could the mind of man have conceived, anything more contemptible, . more utterly despicable, than was that government? "( Hear.) It wanted every qualification which could make it respectable 'or even toleiatiie. It Was altogether compOsed of men clingoig to office for the fruits of office; of uteri who had neither name nor character in the country to qualify them for the situation tbev succeeded in obtaining. Well, then, this goVernment being dissolved by the act of his Majesty himself, what was next done? " His Majesty applied for counsel to one of the very , first men that ever adorned any ceuntry. ie man who hail the ietinour and glory of England as much at heart as he had proved his love and attachment fur its institutions by his unparalleled deeds in arms. (Loud cheering, which lasted fir sortie minutes.) The .King, I say, applied to the Duke of Wellington for advice, and that illustrious individual counselled his sovereign to apply IA Sir Robert Peel to form a new government, and by the sup port of the great party with which he was connected to stein the torrent of democratic feeling, anti once more to conduct the government on the true print Iple of king ; lords, and commons. (Cheers.) What was. the fate of that unblemished man—fop unblemished he is —cloud and retreated cheers)—upon his obey ing his Majesty's summons? Was he not assailed float the very first moment of his appointment by those false and un meaning cries of "secret influence" and "court intrigue," which have been on so many former occasions raised, but which, on my conscience, I believe were never more unfounded than in this instance. (Cheers.) Next, when he'atlvised the King to dissolve parliament—which he did from a conviction that it was absolutely necessary to appeal to the people upon the propriety of his appointment—was he not again assailed? His intentions every one knew were honest, and such as be came him; but as it slid not suit the object of those who were politically opposed to him that they should be so'cMisidered, and as he was in possession of that power which they coveted, but which they feared to undertake, the appeal which he made to the people was described as most uncalled for anti unconsti tutional. Well; the result was found in a great degree suc cessful to the constitutional cause, and a parliament in due time assembled. What then took place? Let me ask you was ever the spirit of faction so undisguisedly evineed as igloo the occasion of the first . meeting of that parliament? (Cheers.) The opposition seemed to have desired to evince the utmost spirit of opposition, unalloyed with the least possible sense. (Hear, and a laugh.) It was easy to account for their doing so; they did so because their mastels, the political unions, in a voice of 'thunder ordered them, not as free and inde pendent representatives , _ but as obsequious del ega t e s, to take the course they did. They were the servants of hard task masters, and as such were obliged to submit. their judgments to the tyrannical dictates of those whom they served. Captain FANSIIAWE proposed the health of Mr. Parker, the candidate for South Devon. The toast having been received with warm expressions of satisfaction, Mr. PAIIKKK said it was with feelings of the deepest emotion he rose to return thanks for the flattering Manner in Which his health had been honoured. It, was a proud situation for him, unworthy as he knew he was, to be able to stand forward and with every prospect of success aspire to the honour of repre senting his native county. (Cheers.) He had been asked; or it had been asked of him, who he was that .hail the audacity to oppose one of the present ministers of the crown—who he was' that should dare give a factious opposition to a minister before his measures were Ascertained; he was not known, he regretted to say, to that portion of the county in which Devonport stood, but lie was not unknown to the county of Devon. ( Hear.) Ile was no alien—he was not a stranger who came forward to re present the county upon the invitation of a few equisitiunists. He was'a free and indei,endent country gentleman, born and bresl in the southern division of the county, and every atom of property he_ possessed in the World was within its hounds. (Cheers.) He would never, he was determined, Put himself forward with anything like the appearance of 'faction, but this he would say, that, feeling oppOse I as' he disl to the principles of the present administration, he would to the best of his endea vour thwart and oppose the re-election of Lord J. Russell, tiho wail one of its component parts... (Cheers.) He was a decided enemy to abuses, and would, without hesitation, assent to their reform when ascertained; but he would nos change first, and begin to think of the expediency of the measure after it was perfected. He was as anxious as any man could be that the church should be based on a permanent and firm foundation, but he never would consent to a proposition which would go to establish a principle hostile to its efficacy. It was a great and important trust which he asked from the electors, but neverthe less he thought it was one to which he could do 'justice. The circumstances under which he applied for it were peculiar, and this must be his excuse for the application. In his address to his constituents he had stated that the agricultural interests ot the county of Devon would be his pecidiar care, bUt he desired to be understood as.not intending to regard those interests to the . exclusion of - others, 'in the prosperity of which the'South Devon constituency were concerned. Every interest connected with the prosperity and well-being of the county should receive from bins equal and indiscriminate attention. " Very short commerce so long as we preserve the constitution," was a saying of the late Mr. Wyndham; but he (Mr. Parker) s lid " Preserve commerce, agriculture, and trade, and the constitution will not require you to take care of it." (Cheers.) He begged, in conclu sion, to assure the meeting that the reception he had hitherto met with, and the successful accounts he had received front all quar ters, inspired him with the most lively prospects as to the result of hie canvass. (Cheers.) It was not in any one particular district alone that he had beard a re-action had taken plate. In all quarters he held his own, and ill many places he had gained 'considerably over his opponent. (Cheers.) In fact, from all he had heard and seen, it was his opinion he should be carried through with success. Whether he was so, however, or not; he begged to assure the meeting that it would ever be to him a feeling of the highest gratification to be able to boast of having been called forward at the hour of need as the humble instru ment of the Devonshire c,aistituenry; and should, his exertions not prove ou the present occasion successful he should live in hope that on some future occasion they might be so. (Lcu cheers.) SOUTH DEVON ELECTION EXETER, APRIL 26.—Lord John Russell and his bride ar rived in this city yesterday morning . about eleven o'clock, in his lordship's carriege, drawn by four grays. The noble lotd's reception was rather cool, as none of his friends were present, so that not even a solitary cheer greeted the ears of his fair lady in the metropolis of the west. Lord John immediately repaired to his committee-room, and returned in a short time, accom panied.by Dr. Bowring and another worthy. s His lordship did not harangue the electors, as there were none assembled. Dur ing his lordship's short stay at the New London lon, a deputa; tints (!) of the Wesleyan body in this city, as they tattled , themselves, honoured the noble lord with a visit for the Purpose of obtaining an explanation as to the scandalous and offensive language published against the methodists by Lord John in a book written by hint some time since. The deputation con sisted of a Mr. Sereomlie, a radical spirit and tobacco merchant, and Mr. Howe, a radical bookseller, who is now exhibiting a cusmoraina, representing the burning of the two houses of lAr liament, &c., for the edification of the customers who honour his fancy bazaar with a call, and become purchasers. I mean es .:r_...... ..1......• . .4........ COO I ta,r,,144.4G,.....G1.11.., 1...10 i ure tolerably good sort of fellows in their way, with the iixcep tioti of being a little too ambitious of notoriety, by openly dis playing their " political partisanship;"• but one can't help , laughing at such men setting up themselves as a deputation .of the "Wesleyan body," for, if John Wesley were aliVe, he would sooner take them for Turkish devotees at. the shrine of Mahomet, or worldly-miarled members of the Romish commu nion, as his meek and humble-minded followers. 'The depu tation were, of course, very politely received, and alter a short parley Lord John Russell delivered himself of the following explanation, which was forthwith published in handbills : " The book was written five years ago, and had never reached a second edition; that the general observations on saethodism were partly favourable and partly unfavourable; that he be lieved mativ of the latter to have been harsh and unjustifiable, from the impressions he had received from Southey and Night-. . .ingalceand that it had long been his intention to expunge them in a new edition of his work; that, in case of publishing a third volume, he should insert a note with this explanation;.. and that he 'had given a similar explanation and signified a similar inten tion at . Bedford some time ago." • I do not know what effect this will have as to satisfying the " Wesleyan body" of South Devon, whether they will imitate their brethren at Bedford; but most soberininded pedple look upon it as a jesuitical humbug, particularly those who. have read his lordship's work on the ` ' Constitution and Government of England," in which he reviles the whigs, and stoutly defends the rotten boroughs; and when this is coupled with the awk ward " mistake " his lordship so recently made at Totnes re specting the bishops, very little credit is now e put upon his lordship's " ex pl an ations " or veracity. A self-constituted n com mittee of the dissenters," who not long since urged, a separation . of church and state, but who abandoned this project because the time was nut arrived for its agitation, have also is sued an "exhortation" to their. dissenting brethren throughout the division to vote far the noble lord. Ilere, again, we have an extraordinary union of Sociniaus, independents, and baptists, for the purpose of assisting their ft iend ie Pope of Rome, to l it triumph over the tolerant, refined chri chu rc h o f En g land. lam happy to state , ho wever, that man the most respecta ble orthodox dissenters repudiate this c ion of sections of 'the church of Christ with the synagogue of Satan. NotWitb standing this unholy league of infidelity, diisent, and Popery ranged under a political flag, the real friends of religious liberty and pure christianity, founded upon the open Bible, are making throughout the division the most active exertion, and no doubt is entertained of Mr. Parker's succeie. Lord John left Exeter fur Mamhead, the seat of Mr. Newman, about an hour and a half after his arrival. He will deliver is speech at Plymouth on Monday, and then visit the towns of the division, (From Woolyner's Exeter Gazette.) The greatest activity prevails in the southern division of this county, and the most intense anxiety is manifested for the result of the contest. The friends of theirottbeeonse canvass,rvativec d their returns,candidate, Mr. Parker, w have, a ve r'e informed, w ebelieve completed are so satisfactory as to leave not the slightest doubt of success; they must not, however, " rest on their oars," but continue the same active xeal,in the cause of Our protestant church and constitution—for it is upon this prin ciple the battle is to be fought—to the last, which A believe will alone secure Mr. Parker's return. The extraordinary efforts making by the supporters of Lord John Itussell,sto procure his re-election are unprecedented in our election annals. Lord Ebriugton, Lord Seymour, Mr. Divett, Mr. Collier, Mr. C. Buller, Dr: Bowring, Mr. - Bewes, Mr. Fellowes, Colonel Seale, Mr. Wakley, and Jr.N Parrott .(all wen:Mess-of parliament) are indefatigable in their personal canvass; indeed, if the existence of the present administration solely depended upon Lord John's return, they could not be more anxious or more strenuous in his behalf.. Although we-have been generally opposed to the po litical course of Lord Ebrington;.we have never shown such op position by offensive language, of indulged under ally circum stances in personalities respecting the noble lord; but on this occasion we cannot help remarking that, as heir-apparent to the earldom of Fortescuc, and acknowledging himself the acting lord-lieutenant of the county of Devon, by and through whom all the magistrates and deputy-lieutenants are appointed— through whose sanction the commissions in the militia and yeomanry cavalry are . granted—it is not discreet, it is not fair, it is not honourable, it is not constitutional for his lordship to be interfering, and that, trio, publicly, with the election of a candidate for the Conunous House of Parliament on any occa sion, more especially in this county, where, from his office of lord-lieutenant, he must possess such immense influence. A venerable and noble peer, who has not given. a single shilling towards the election of Mr. Parker, ,has been accused and charged by the radical prints with having subscribed £1,01.)0 to wards that gentlemen's election, and much vituperation has been maliciously heaped upon the noble baron in consequence. Independent, however, of the influence and exertions of Lord Ebrington in behalf of the Russell cause, it has been hinted that more than one noble peer has exercised his personal influence on behalf of Lord John ; but it is no less strange than true, that with some, who make a boast of the purity of their liberal prin ciples, the political tactics ate perfectly just, honourable, and constitutional in their party, whic.h are most unjust, dishonourable, and unconstitutional, if adopted by the conservatives. 'fhe no tions of political liberty are certainly very convenient, at least with theta, as the end to be obtained always justifies. the means used, however questionable. ' . We have heard, and it will be a high gratification to the pro testants of Devon to have it contirineil, that Sir Thomas Dyke Ackland will propose Mr. l'arker at the nomination on Friday next. .. .

DANGERS FROM POPERY. • (Frain an ilnterican Paper.) Extract from an Address delivered to the Graduates of. Jeffer ' son College, Pa. By Matthew Brown, D.D. President of the College. Our own country is most deeply interested in the issue.. The despots of Europe, whu have combined to suppress the priuci plea of liberty awl to rivet the chains of despotism on their own subjects, cannot but view with a jealous eye a country exhibit ing to the world the practicability and the blessed effects of free government,-a country whence has emanated that light which has dawned on the nations of Europe and enkindled in the minds of millions the sacred fletne of liberty. Already have they commenced a system of extensive operations. under papal influence, directed 'by the prime minister of Austria, one of the most powerful diplomatists on earth. It can be with no good intent to the interests of our free in stitutions that numerous associations have been formed in the catholic countries, for the collection of funds and the transport. ation of so many thousands of their degraded devotees, to the valley of the Mississippi. We know that rnani , are disposed to consider all apprehensions of this kind as the dreams cf an af frighted imagination. But such apprehensions are entertained b• some of the most enlightened statesmen and christians in Lampe and in our own country. And why should they not be alarmed for the liberties of our country and the world ? Is there no danger from the restoration of the jesuits, au order bound by solemn oaths of allegiance to a foreign power, acting in secrecy and in concert;' and under a common head— adapting themselves to every state of societv—to all the varied preju dices and corruptions of mankind; whose system is based us the principle that " the end justifies the means!" Is there no thing to . fear from the numerous priests imported from abroad operating iu every part of our country—erecting schools, and 'colleges,, and churches by means of funds drawn front the. Va tican—bringing to their aid every influence hostile to tree a nd enlightened, religion, influencing the litelature of nur country by their literary institutions—and even controlling the presses and politicians of our country—fearing to offend and anxious to secure the suffrages of such multitude* tuoviug in a mass at the nod and dictation of their priests. Is there nothing to fear from the hundreds of thousands an nually.coming in upon us like a flood front the corrupted a nd despotic governments of Europe ? It has been ascertained that the Roman catholics have in creased ten-fold during the last twenty years; should they in crease in the same ratio for thirty years to come, this country will be theirs by an overwhehning majority. What then will be the fate of our republic, and where our civil anti religious liberties? I ask again, is there no cause of serious alarm for the liberties of our country and of the world? Guided by the light of prophecy, we need not fear as to the final result—the final triumph of liberty and pure religion over despotism, popery, and infidelity comt,ined. But the coutlict, -we have reaseu to fear, will be dreadful. ;the ;last struggles of the empire of darkness will be the most violent and tremendous the earth has ever witnessed. We who are more advanced its -• years may not witness these scenes. You may not only be called to witness them, but to take an 'active . part. Seine of you may have the honour of suffering martyrdom 'ita the cause, ' of liberty and true religion, and our graves be sprinkled Witty your blood. ' Is it asked by what means shall we endeavour to counteract the influences so much 40 be dreaded? . I answer not by legitlative enactments—not by Civil penatties—not by inteifering, with the rights of conscience—not. by ail unhallowed alliance 01 " church and state,"—these are the very evils of that system we deprecate, wherever it has the ascendance,; but by ineanerand influences purely intellectual and rnoral—by etilightenirg the public Mind, and by andressing motives 'to time understaieling and the heart. Let statesmen, zealous for the preservation of our liberties, examine car fully the tendencies bald probable re sults of the combination referred to—the resteration of the disciples of Loyola, and the emigration from atrroad such masses swayed by. a foreign influence and bound be. a so lemn allegiance to a foreign power. Let the political , presses fear lessly speak out on a subject of such vital importance. Lett every denomination of christiatis awake to a sense of ttie -com mon danger to which we are exposed. Let knowledge be utore generally diffused, as to the real character and cnrruptions of popery, which boasts that it is ever the same. Let the word cf God (denied to the people by thole who make ignorance the mother of devotion) be everywhere diffused; and let all who re gard the interest of true religion and civil and religious liberty beware how they countenance and patronize institutions so hostile to the interests of our cOuntrfand of the world. CONFESSION OF MARY ANN BURDOCK. It appears that after all the protestations of innocence nade by this wretched criminal, both at the time of her trial and on the day of her execution, to the chaplain and governor - if the prison, she made a confidant of a female acquaintance awned Anti Bayuton, who has since duly attested before . thenirKi' - trates a confession, entrusted to her alone, in the following forin : " On Tuesday morning (the day after trial) Mrs. Part/tick appeared very low in her spirits. 'there was another female in the room named Margaret Hit:theft, who assisted me in :mending on her. On Margaret leaving the room Mrs. B. said she vanilla tell me the secret, if I would swear not to name it to any person until after her death. I said, upon my soul I woull not. She was not satisfied -with that promise, but made nteevear, and call upon God to witness. I did so, and Mrs. B. thea told me that she gave Evans two penny-pieces to:,buy the arsenic, but that he did not know what it was for. That she kept it in her pocket for five days, and then gave it to Wade, and he put a little of it in some milk on .the following evening (he put it in with a mus tard spoon.) She (Mrs. B.) did not think he had put in enough, and the next night he put in some more in thickened milk, with the same spoon, then broke the spoon and put it in the tire. She then took the milk up stairs into her own bedroom ; she set it down on a bureau bedstead, which looks like a chest of drawers, and there stirred it in the milk with a dessert spoon. Went to a trunk and took'a clean pocket handkerchief, and on turning round, saw the girl (Allen) Standing at the door. Stir' asked her what she wanted, and wondered at her impudence in following her. She then took it and gave it to Mrs. Smith, who drank it. She said no more to me cosicerning the murder, • .t.• it to know what ths 11 , 44) d 11.3 with the money they ham isati, . counsellors bad been paid. She said she was very glad she was not tried for thieving the money, as then it would he taken from them, and now the £5OO would do for her children.—The declaration of "'ANN BAYNTON." Previous to the' interment, whisk took place in the enclosed ground belonging to the gaol, a cast was taken of her head by some scientific gentletnen; who have pronounced that it was of most singular formation; the forehead 'is remarkably low, the cheeks very long, the organs of firmness, secretiveness, and cunning largely developed ; that of philoprogenitiveness, or love of offspring. very indistinct. Altogether it is a head which will admit of great discussion amongst the disciples of phreno- logy. The body was placed in a plain elm coffin, and the fol lowing is the inscription on a large stone, 6 feet by 3, placed over the grave :—" Beneath this stone lie the remains of Marl Ann Burdock, who was executed in this gaol, April 13. 1835; is her 38th year, for the wilful murder (by poison) of Clara Anna Smith, of this city." • - - The patient and impartial attention which our Recorder, Sir Charles Wetherell, bestowed on the trial of the above murleress, and the acumen he exhibited in analysing the mass of evidence adduced are the theme of general eulogy, and entitle him to a high place in the annals ofour criminal judicature. (if the guilt of the criminal, independent of her confession, not a solitary doubt exists; but it is a remarkable fact that after she matte the disclosure to one of the prisoners (a convict) she persisted in her innocence to one of the magistrates, declaring that her exe cution would be murder !—Bristol Journal. DREADFUL MURDER AT WOOLIVICIL The town of Woolwich was yesterday thrown into a state of great agitation by, the perpetration of a most dating and delibe rate murder. It appears from the information that we were enabled to collect hastily on the spot that a corporal of Marines • named M'Carren had for some time frequented the house of the deceased. Mrs. Brownrig, a widow. aui landlady of the Britannia public-house, near the Marine Barracks, in consequence of Which an attachment arose between the parties, and had even proceeded so far that Friday next was named for the consum mation of their affections. On Sunday evening last, however , a party of relatives of the murdered female assembled at her house. M'Carren, who was present, co'nceiving that they slighted him, and were using their utmost endeavour to prevent the union of the object of his affection and himself, brake out into a violent rage from some trivial cause, and declared be would put act end to his intended bride ere the lapse of another week. The threat was taken no notice of, supposing it to be rather the ebullition of a man overheated. with liquor than the real sentiments of one who professed so much attachment to tbe object of his intended revenge. But, yesterday morning. awful to relate, these confiding hopes were sadly aisappointed, jot between ten and eleven o'clock, just after the morning parade , the culprit entered the house of Atte deceased. and drew his bayonet on his unsuspecting victim, with which he inflicted wound after wound until she fell at his feet, a hiertiing corpse. Her mother, who happened to be present, sud of course spectator of the diabeAcal scene, in her endeavours to protect, the person of her daughter, was stabbed in several places. Ms. alarm was instantly raised, and after a desperate struvide th e murderer was secured, and taken to the cage. An examination of the prisoner took place last night before Sir John Webh, which did not terminate till a late hour, when he was committed to Newgate to take his trial. The prisoner was than handcuffed and taken back to the cage. prior to being conveyed to Newgate. The crowd of persons that had assembled opposite the Castle by the time the examina tion had terminated was immense. The coroner's inquest will be held this day. It is a singular and melancholy fact that the husband of the murdered female about four years ago hanged himself in the same house where his unfortunate widow tact her violent.abd untimely death.—Morning Herald, Tuesday, THE HON.

His sense of duty and the best interests of his country may of quire bun to act in ote way, the stern behests of a section his constituents in another. Instead, therefore, of speaking. in terms of indignation, we would, in referring to the confession made by our representative, at the 'Soiree given on Tuesda y evening, use those only of regret.
