from funnel- experience, that their attestation to his ups i
ht-
acts and impartiality could not be obtained, and that it
would, therefore, be indiscreet to call them into Council ?
How is it to be accounted for that three of the Magistrates
present, whose names are not to he jininil in this unanimous
Resolution, happen to be Magistrates in the neighbourhood
of Cttoxeter, and, frotn this circumstance, better informed
than all the rest, of the facts of the case ? Ilow coons it
that their approving testimony is withheld? The conclusion
to be drawn from it is obvious. They disclaim all fellow-
ship with such proceedings, and the disavowal does them
honour.

It may, further, appear a little surprising, to those who
are not in the 'secret, that so many Magistrates should have
been gathered together at the Sessions on IVednewlay, Me
feet day, when no business is ever done but that of mere
routine, such as passing vagrants, discharging insolvent
debtors, &c., when neither Jury nor Counsel attend, and
when it is very rare that more than lieu or three Magis-
trates assemble ! 11'hat could base thus carried things out
of their ordinary course? This attendance of Magistrates
was no doubt solicited ; but the affair has been ill-managed.
It is fortunately, however, not the first instance in which
those who have attempted to impose spun Me public have
ended in exposing themselves.

We find by the last I)ublin papers, that the rule for a
Criminal Information against the humane and lihrral Lord
Farnham—the Colonel Barry of last Session, has peen
made absolute in the Court of King's Bench, in Dublin
and his Lordship will now have to stand at the bar as a
criminal, and meet the verdict of a Jury, as to whether
he was thefitgellator of the wretched boy Lynch or not.
What a tale to come before a Court of Justice ! exhibiting
a Peer and a Magistrate as the whip-beggar of a poor
starving boy, torturing him with his own hands, without
either legal investigation or conviction. If the story be
true, it is sufficient to brand any man, who could be rogian
enough to perpetrate the vile act, with indelible infamy.
Such are the advocates of the Orange party—the clients
in Parliament of Messrs. Browniow, Dawson, and others!
Can they now raise their heads in such a cause, without the
burning blush of shame, after a tale of abominable atro-
city such u thi► bas been recorded in the Irish Court of
King's Bench, of a man who has been their

Baron Gifford, we believe, confidently looks to the Seals,
when Lord Eldon retires. In answer to a question from
Lord Holland, the Chancellor stated on Monday night that
the new Baron had been named Deputy Speaker of the

Lord Eldon to keep his place for some time to come.

Al e have been favourer) with the perusal of letters from
Demerara, which speak in very positive terms of the pre-
parations making in the French colony of Martinique. for
the invasion, as it is supposed, of South America. The
tinvernor of Martinique, M. 1)onzelot, has indeed said that
nothing of the sort was intended. The French may say,
that in the disturbed state of their Colonies, they require a
large military and naval force. The following is an ex-
ams (non osse of the letters, dated Demerara, Dee-IHr.

brniglit there by degrees, in a single frigate or so, to pre-

cossiderablt ; it consists of thirteen frigates, and lour ships
