CRIMINAL COURT-(Tj:IIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning. The RE-
CORDER, in the course of his address to the Jury, adverted
to the Paddington murder, and observed that as the cas3
was not at present quite ripe for committal, the Magistrate
before whom the prisoner was in a course of examination
had communicated to the Court that the depositions would
be ready for the Grand Jury to hear evidence on Thursday
next, and he would obsbrve that he hoped they would not be
biassed by anything they had heard or read on the subject,
but be guided by the evidence which would be brought be-
fore them. After other remarks upon other cases, his Lord-
ship requested the Grand Inquest to retire to their chamber.

SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH AND

THE MINISTRY.

TO THE EDITOR- OF THE MORNING
CHRONICLE.

SIR—I should feel much obliged to you if you would be
so kind as to insert this letter. I find on my return from
Leeds that an incorrect and exaggerated report in your
newspaper of one of my speeches has caused the greater
part of the London press to accuse me of having changed
my opnions with regard to the present administration, and
of having renounced those contained in a numberrof the Lon-
don Review. No such change has taken place. When called
upon to express an opinion respecting the conduct of the
present administration, I certainly made use of laudatory
torms, but not such as to justify the inferences drawn from
them. I Said, " The present administration is far more liberal
and, conseqUently, better than those which for a long period
of time had preceded it ; and that, with regard to the ques-
tions chiefly referred to by Mr. BaineS (the Irish Municipal
Bill and Church-rates), ministers on the whole had acted up
to their professions." I denounced strongly in every speech
I made their proposals with regard to Canada. In my ad-
dresses to the electors I blamed " the conduct of the Go-
vernment with reference to the Ballot, the Repeal of the
Rate-paying clauses," &c. &c. I condemned their " con-
tinual junction with the Tories in oppositiOn to the Radi-
cals, who have placed them in office, and who retain them
in power." These positions are not different from tfibse
which I expressed in the pages of the " London." The
January number of that review, however, contained my opi-
nions merely with reference to the then state of political af-
fairs ; the April number states my opinions with reference to
,the present aspect of politics. For any supposed ineonsis-
tenciek in those articles "I am responsible. I disclaim,
however, being committed to any of the inferences drawn
from an imperfect version of my speech.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,__
