IMPROVEMENT OF THE METROPOLIS.

Dr. LU SHINGTON presented a petition from the
Tower Ilamlets, stating that the petitioners bad beard with
pleasure the appointment of a Committee on the subject of
improvement of the metropolis, and praying the House to
carry that object into effect.

Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY presented a petition
from Aldgate against the Metropolitan Police Bill.
NEWFOUNDLAND.

Mr. H UME presented a petition from the Clergy,
Magistrates, traders, and other inhabitants of Harbour
Grace and Carboniere, in Newfoundland, praying the
House to be pleased to address her Majesty for
the appointment of a commision of inquiry, uncon-
nected with the Colonies, and uninfluenced by the preju-
dices of party, to report on the state of the colony, its
institutions and government, and the moral and
political condition of the inhabitants. The petitioners
stated that they would instruct their representatives to defray
the expense of such Commission from the Colonial Re-
venue. As the inhabitants of Newfoundland seemed to
be alarmed that some change was about to be made in their
constitutional rights, perhaps the Secretary for the Colonies
would say what course it was the intention of Government
to pursue ?
Mr. L ABO UCH ERE said the Government had no in-
tention whatever of proposing to Parliament any measure
for the purpose of varying the Constitution of that Co-
lony.—( Hear, hear.)

BEER BILL.
Mr. H UME presented a petition, signed by 1,400 in-
habitants of Bath and its environs, praying the House
to make such alterations in the existing Beer Laws
as would secure to the proprietors of Beer-shops an equality
of privilege with other dealers in Beer. Also a similar
petition from the brewers and occupiers of Beer-shops re-
siding in the City of Bath.
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that after Easter he
should more for a copy of the Charter of Trinity College,
Dublin; and also, for Copies of any Correspondence between
the King of Hanover and the autborities of that College.
Mr. ALSTON gave notice that on going into Committee
on the Beer Bill, he should move certain amendments.
Dr. LUSHINGTON gave notice that he should move
for copies of any despatches from the Governor- General
of the Leeward Islands recommending the convocation of
a General Assembly of these Islands.
Mr. WODE HO USE begged to ask the Hon. Member
for Finsbury, who had a notice on the order book for to-
morrow relative to the poor in workhouses, whether it was
his intention to bring that question on to-morrow, or if not
w,hether he would renew it in its present shape ?
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—In consequence of the length
of time the discussion on the Corn-laws had occupied, ho
thought he should best consult the convenience of the House
by postponing it till after Easter, when he should reusw
his motion.

TO THE CHARTISTS.

Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNoR said that it having been de-
termined that the Missionaries should return next week,
he would postpone his motion for a certain day being ap-
pointed to hold meetings in all the great towns of Eng-
land and Scotland, antecedent to the presentation of the
National Petitions, from a sense of the importance of ac-
quiring new information on the feelings of the people,
of which information the Missionaries would have
a large quantity. He was the more inclined
to do so from his having just learned a piece of information
regarding Ireland, which, to the Convention, was of more
importance than anything which had occurred since they
commenced their proceedings in the month of February.
It was that at a large and influential meeting of the
citizens of Cork, held last week, Mr. Joseph Hayes, pro-
prietor of the Southern Reporter, one of the most influen-
tiul men in that part of the empire, and always a steady
Whig, and n• inconsiderable advocate of Whig prin-
ciples, had declared, that he was convinced that there
was no hope for Ireland, and he would recommend
the people to go over to the Chartists. This declaration
was hailed with universal approbation, and the proposition
which it contained was only got rid of by its not being one
of the subjects for which the meeting was convened.

form his duties. On this view of the matter, the Irish
have everything to hope and nothing to fear. But I must
say that the Noble Lord has himself more cause for ap-
prehension, as he succeeds one of the most excellent men
that ever filled that office.—(Loud cheers.) He has had
a great example before him ; but his predecessor had an
excellent assistant whom he will not want.—( Hear.)
Several other toasts were given and speeches made,
which we regret we cannot give, from the pressure of
other matter.

MEETING AT LLOYD'S.

A meeting of the Subscribers to Lloyd's was held yes-
terday at the South Sea House, upon general business.
Mr. G. R. ROBINSON in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN called attention to the recommendation
of the Special Committee for the construction of a com-
mercial room for the convenience of merchants.—( Hear,
hear.) Such a room had been long wanted. This was
admitted, though the plan proposed at the last meeting
was not concurred in.

The report of the Special Committee now came before
the meeting with modifications. It was now proposed that
a commercial room, in connection with Lloyd's, should be
established, to be under the management of the Subscribers.
Mr. DoissoN (the Secretary) read the Report. It
adverted to the steps taken by the Committee to
obtain better surveys in cases of averages, and to the
fact that the subject of the stamp duty on marine
insurance still claimed attention. A memorial had
been sent to the Treasury complaining of the inju-
rious effect of this duty, and every exertion made to ob-
tain a repeal or modification of the impost. The Com-
mittee had pleasure in stating that the obstacles which im-
peded the re-building of the Royal Exchange were now
removed ; and feeling it of high importance to the com-
mercial interests that a public room should be established,
they had consulted the Special Committee, and the flow-
ing resolution had been agreed to, and which was now sub-
mitted to the consideration of the meeting :
" That it is the opinion of this Committee that a com-
mercial room, in connection with and under the manage-
ment of Lloyd's, would be highly advantageous to the
mercantile community at largo, and that measures be taken
to carry the same into effect."

The Report was adopted, and various grants were made
to the crews of boats who had exerted themselves in sav-
ing the lives of mariners in cases of shipwreck.
The subject of the establishment of a commercial room
was then brought under special notice.
In reply to a question,
The CHAIRMAN said he hoped there was to be a Royal
Exchange. All obstacles were now removed, and the
foundation stone would shortly be laid.
Mr. DEWAR supported the recommendation of the Com-
mittee. The plan, as now proposed, would be highly
beneficial.

Mr. HARFORD thought the recommendation of the
Committee would tend to cement the interests of the
merchants and underwriters. He hoped the recommen-
dation would be taken up with spirit—that it would show
that Lloyd's was not deficient in providing accommodation
for the merchautF.

The recommendation of the Committee was, after some
fu! ther discussion, agreed to, and the thanks of the meeting
having been given to the Cbairinan, it broke up.

Loss OF A NEWCASTLE COLLIER OFF
CALAls._Last week the shore, about a league from
Calais, was strewed with wreck from a ship, supposed to
have been lost during a heavy gale from the N. N. W.,
which blew with great violence on the preceding night.
Among the articles picked up was a writing-deck, which
contained papers showing that it belonged to the Profit
and Loss of Newcastle, Captain Barnsley, with a crew of
six men, and measuring 263 tons. There is every reason
to apprehend that all on board were lost.
SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.—The Government

CONCERT.

On Thursday last a concert took place at the Music
Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, which was nume-
rously attended. The selection comprised some of Ros-
sini's finest pieces. Miss Cooper delighted us by
the way in which she sung the exquisite " Di Tanti
Palpiti ;" it was deservedly encored : her singing of
Auber's beautiful scena, " I love her, how I love
her" (accompanied by herself on the piano-forte), was
also admirable. The concert was given by Mr. Poz-
nanski, a performer (and composer) of some merit ; his
violin playing was much applauded.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
(YESTERDAY.)

Mr. HETHERINGTON was called to the Chair.
REPORT FROM THE MISSIONARIES.

After the minutes of Tuesday's proceedings were read,
the Secretary proceeded to read several letters from
various parts of the country, giving an account of the
progress of the gentlemen sent out to agitate the kingdom.
Among which, that from Bailie Craig stated that his
exertions to promote unanimity among the different sec-
tions of Radicals in Scotland had had the most happy
effect. Every shade of Radicalism was merged into a
desire of success for the objects of the Charter.
Several meetings had been held throughout Ayr-
shire, Renfrewshire, Stirlingshire, and Argvleshire, at
which the people were unanimous in according their gra-
titude for the conduct of the Convention since they had
begun their sitting.

e,rris, unless they pay the damages awarded against

of Commons have any share or concern.
(From the _Morning Advertiser.)
The London Dissenting Committees are beginning to
exhibit symptoms of an intention to yield to public
opinion. They find from sundry indications, which
arc not to be mistaken, that to resist the feeling which
has been raised by the nonconformists of Leicester, and
the metropolitan and provincial press, in favour of Mr.
Thorogood, would be fatal to their own existence as
Societies ; and therefore they have come to the worldly-
wise resolution of making a virtue of necessity. The
Committee of the Anti-Church-rate Society sent a
deputation of their number to Lord Melbourne, on
II
Tuesday, for the purpose of urging on his Lordship
the extinction of Church-rates, the abolition of the
civil jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts, and
the liberation from gaol of any person or persons now
incarcerated by virtue of process in those Courts.
As Mr. John Thorogood is the only person now
immured within the walls of a prison at the suit of
the Ecclesiastical Courts, it would just have been as
straightforward and becoming, under all the circum-
stances of the case, had they, by name, called Lord
Melbourne's special attention to the case of that in-
jured man. However, it is something to see that this
Society have at last awakened from their long sleep ;
and it would ❑ot much surprise us, notwithstanding the
abuse which their organ, the Patriot, has heaped upon

us for presuming to call on them to get up meetings in
Mr. Thorogood's favour, were they, ere many weeks
have elapsed, to respond to our earnest and oft-repeated
appeals to them on that point. Falstaff would do no-
thing on compulsion ; there are committees, as well S 3
indiriduals, with whom compulsion is the only effectual
logician. Lord Melbourne, in replying to the represen-
tations of the deputation, said that he was not pre-
pared to say that Government would introduce in the
ensuing Session a measure for the entinction of church-
rates, though he deeply regretted the present state of
the question, and the social evils it occasioned. His
Lordship, however, made this most important declara-
tion, that " a Bill will be brought forward in the al>
preaching Session for the abolition of the civil juris-
diction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. in which it might
not be improper to introduce a claose for the liberation
from prtson ofpersons incarcerated under ecclesiastical
process." Here, then, we have the first fruits, and
most important and glorious they are, of the agitation
begun by the Dissenters cf Leicester, and the public
press, in favour of the Chelmsford martyr. Let Mr.
Thorogood keep up his heart ; a bright gleam of hope,

- -
as he reads these words of the Prime Minister, will

penetrate his dark and lonesome dungeon, and shine in
o❑ his spirit' We anticipate with unutterable joy the
near approaeh of the hour which shall unbolt his prison
doors, and restore him to his liberty and his friends.
We most heartily rejoice in this on Mr. Thorogood's

TV ORSHIP- STREET.

LOW-PRICED BAKERS.—Yesterday Mrs. Beedle, the
wife of a baker living in Goldsmith's-row, Hackey-road,
appeared to a summons issued against her husband,
which charged him with having used in his shop a pair
of unequal scales.
Upon the case being called on Mr. Hunt, the defen-
dant's solicitor, said he was instructed to plead guilty to
the charge, but he trusted the Magistrate would take a
lenient view of the case, as his client was personally
ignorant of the defective state of the scale, and her hus-
band was an invalid in the country.
Mr. GROVE said that in all cases of fraud on the part
of bakers he was determined to deal with the utmost
rigour towards the offender, as the suffering parties
were principally the poor, to whom bread was indeed
" the staff of life." The particulars of the case, as de-
tailed by the party complaining, constituted a gross
fraud, and the evidence must be gone into. In
Turkey the baker committing such an offence would
have been bastinadoed almost to death's door, and
afterwards branded, that all honest men might for
ever avoid him.
The case was then heard, when .

The MAGISTRATE said—Had it been proved that
either the defendant or his wife was cognizant of the
fraud, he should have inflicted the full fine of 5/. ; as
it was he should reduce the penalty to 40s.
The fine was paid.

against the legal proceeding, and pronounce it intole-
rable for its indelicacy, which requires our Queens and
Princesses to hear their children with the Great Offi-
cers of State in the chamber, as suppose that the
Mansions of sovereigns can be regulated in all re-
Epeets like the dwelling-houses of subjects. That er-
rors of judgment may have been committed—that no
l'ac can look back upon the events of the last sum-
Ins.r, without feeling the deepest sorrow for the suf-
ferings which the innocent and unhappy- person
most concerned had to endure—that in some quar-
ters there may have been something to blame—cannot
be denied—fir, very far from it ; but to implicate y our
Majesty in this blame, argues an utter disregard of all
the facts in the case, and above all a most culpable in-
attention to the peculiar position in which you are
Placed, with all its momentous duties, and all its pecu-
liar difficulties.
Nor let it for one instant be supposed, that any one
can blame the conduct of Lord Hastings in a position
hardly less difficult. Whatever high spirit, tender af-
fection, a nice sense of honour, could demand, that he
has done with complete success, and to the entire vin-
dication of his family's honour. That the lamentable
circumstances which have occurred should estrange

!lint at least for a season, from your Majesty's Court,
natural (nay fitting), even if he had no charge to
bring against any party. That your Majesty's wish
roust ever be, as it must be your duty also, to soothe
the wounded feelings of hii illustrious house, no one
'ln doubt.

Of the Ladies of your Palace and their conduct in
this affair, I have no occasion to speak ; yet justice
requires the distinct assertion, that whoever may have
taxed them with error of judgment committed in cir-
eumstanees of unexampled difficulty, no one can have
sincerely believed that they could be influenced by any
Alotivos of a malignant nature, much less guilty of a
foul conspiracy, wholly and confessedly without an object.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE•

MAN SION-HOU USE.
The Commissioner of the City POliee has commenced
the duties of his office very actively, and has already
made several regulations which are likely to prove es-
sentially beneficial to the public. He narrowly watches
the conduct of the men under his control, and investi-
gates every complaint with very great care.
Francis Drake, lately a member of the City Police
Force, was brought before the Lord Mayor in custody
of Sergeant Pattison, by the order of Mr. Daniel Whit-
tle Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Police,charged
with having neglected his duty, and been found intoxi-
cated at half-past one o'clock on the morning of the 23d
November last. The defendant was also charged with
having absented himself and with having taken with him
some of the police clothing in contradiction to and in
contempt of the regulations. He had enlisted, after
abandoning the situation of policeman, with the 4th re-
giment of Dragoon Guards.
Evidence was given to that effect, when
The Loan MAYOR said—l fine him forty shillings,
and if he is not able to pay that sum he must go to pri-
son for seven days.
Drake was then committed for seven days.
It was stated that in ordering this case to be reported

to the several divisions, the Commissioner desired it to
be expressly understood that the crime of deliberate
falsehood, with a view to deceive and mislead, was con-
sidered by him 'so criminal in its character, and so per-
nicious in its effects, that he should invariably visit the
party guilty of it with instant dismissal from the service.
The regulations made by the Lord Mayor and the
Commissioner of the City Police, as regards the
driving of omnibuses through the City, prove, we are
happy to say, to be excellent in their effects. His Lord-
ship has received several letters on this subject, in praise
of the new regulations.

BOW-STREET.

A young woman named Anne Croley, was yesterday
placed at the, bar, by constable Trotman 47 F, charged
with stealing a quantity of plate and jewellery, the pro-
perty of her mistress.
The constable on going his rounds through Drury-
lane at ten o'clock on Thursday night, met the prisoner,
who was in a state of intoxication, and having stopped
her to ascertain if she knew where she was going, or
what she was about, a number of silver spoons and other
plate fell from under her shawl. On stooping to gather
up the articles, Bagnall, another constable, came up, and
seeing what had occurred, he removed the prisoner's
shawl, and found concealed under it the remaining part
of the property.
Miss Mary Anne Broughton, proprietrix of a lady's
boarding school in Ayliffe-place, Whitechapel-road,
identified the plate as the property of her mother, and
valued at nearly 1001. The prisoner had been in her
service only for three days, and absconded taking away
the entire contents of a chest in which the property had
been deposited, with a quantity of jewellery produced,
and she did not see the prisoner again until she received
information from the police, that she was in custody.
Constable Bagnall produced, in addition to the pro-
perty which he had found upon the prisoner, a gold
eye-glass, and a beautiful brooch set in pearls, with
other articles which he discovered had been pawned by
the prisoner at Mr. Townsend's in Little Russell-street,
Covent-Garden, at five o'clock on the evening she was
taken into custody.
Mr. JARDINE SAid it was quite unnecessary to enter
more fully into the particulars at the present stage of
the case, and ordered the' prisoner to be brought up
again in a week, with directions to the police to use
their exertions in tracing any other property that may
have been stolen.

This number contains another paper on the his-

mens of the art at the present time. " Tile River
Peneus and Mount Pindus, and the
"Temple at

it has been brought. The article " Behind the
Scenes" contains some amusing details of the in-
ternal arrangements of theatres and of the capa-
bilities of the various establishments in London for
mechanical effects, and it is singular enough that a
theatre, which never stood veryhigh,
either
for the
character of the performances or pageants, should
be described as the first •in London. " Among
the minors the Victoria stands alone," says the
writer; " there is 11 LI . 0 Ulla that could be done in a
theatre that might c'
not be effected there." " A
Visit to Khosret; Dacha" has already spoken for
itself in nearly all the daily journals.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.—We learn that an
application of machinery, entirely new to this country,
is now in progress of being established in our own neigh-
bourhood, which will be of great importance to the West
Indies. 'We refer the cleaning of coffee imported in
the husk. It may not be generally known that the
coffee of commerce is the seed of a pulpy berry, not
unlike the cherry. The processes to which it is subjected,
before being exported from the countries in which it is
grown, are simple, but somewhat tedious, consisting of
pulping, washing, and drying in the sun. It is also
capable of being dried in the berry, in which state
not only is the quality of the seed superior, from the
aroma being better preserved, but it is less liable to
sour, which is sometimes caused by the fermenting
wash, and it is not subject to be broken into what the
trade call triage, and otherwise become less valuable.
From not hating the means of removing the husk,
however, it has not been imported into this state ex-
, except in small quantities, for the use of those wko
know its superior quality. But we are glad to learn
that machinery has been prepared for carrying on this
branch of trade at Greenbank Mills, in addition to the
cleaning of rice. The produce of the first experiment
' in cleaning coffee has been shown us by Mr. Macfie,
from the superior appearance of which, we are confi-
dent that every West Indian proprietor will soon be
induced to prefer having his coffee cleaned in this
country, and so far relieve himself of the often trouble-
some negligence of the negro population.—Greenock
