THE VIXEN.

Mr. C. BULLER—Being so fortunate as to see the
Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his
place—(A laugh)—he begged to .ask him whether he had
altogether forgotten the case of the Vixen? Would the
Noble Lord be kind enough to tell him and the House
whether he had received any information relative to the cap-
ture? Whether the negotiations which the Noble Lord in-
formed the House were going on between Government and
Russia had been concluded ; and if so, whether the papers
would soon be laid on the table of the House ?

Lord PALMERSTON was not yet in a condition to
give the required information. The matter was in such a
state of forwardness, that he hoped to be able to put the
House in possession of it in a very short time.

CHURCH-RATES.

Petitions in favour of the Ministerial plan for the aboli-
tion of Church-rates were presented by. Lord PALMERSTON,
Mr. C. WOOD, and Mr. GROTE.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

Mr. GROTE presented a petition, signed by 50 or 60
prisoners confined for debt in Horsemonger-lane Jail, com-
plaining of the harsh treatment they bad suffered, anti. praying
the House to pass the measure introduced by the Attor-
ney-General for the abolition of Imprisonment for Debt.
In answer to a question from Mr. HUME,

Lord PALMERSTON said lie would have no objection
to lay the papers relative to the affair of the Consul at New
Granada, Mr. Russell, before the House. It was highly
proper that they should be on the table of the House, and
he would take care that they were produced as soon as
possible. When they were in the hands of Hon. Members
it would be found that na injustice had been committed on
the part of England.

POOR-LAW COMMITTEE.

_ _.....
Mr. HARVEY said he had 10 petitions to present,
some against the principle, and others against the working
of the New Poor-law. The petitions- were from Kendal ;
from Littlehourne, in Kent ; from Brentford, in Middle-
sex ; fiinn Shelley, in Yorkshire; Sutton in Asidield,
Nottinghamshire ; from the Radical Association of South-
wark ; from the Radical Association of Bermondsey ; and
from Wickford and Rawreth, in Essex. The petition
from Brantford prayed, that one-third of the tithes might
be appropriated to their original destination, namely, the
support of the poor. The Hon. Gentleman stated that he
availed himself of the opportunity of presenting those
petitions to request that he might be excused , from
:crying any longer on the Poor-law Committee.. At
the time that that Committee was appointed he regretted
its composition, and regretted the restricting terms under
which it was appointed ; but he entered that Committee in
the hope it would pursue the important enquiry for which it
was appointed impartially. He regretted to say that in
that respect he had been disappointed, and he was therefore
disinclined to countenance a:1 enquiry which he felt assured
could only end in bitter disappointment.—(Hear.) Under
these circum.itances he trusted the House would allow his
name to be Withdrawn from that Committee... He should
now move that the petitions he had presented be referred to
the Committee, and on a future day he would bring the
subject of the Poor Law Committee under the considera-
tion of the Ilouse.
Mr. WALTER then rose to make some observations,
bnt it being intimated to him by the Speaker that there was
no question before the House, the Hon. Member sat down. •

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON GARDEN.
Yesterday William Massey, alias Ingram, a desperate-
looking fellow, was brought to this office in the custody of
George Collier and police-constable 148, E division,
charged by Robert Cain, Esq., of Dunham, near Uxbridge,
with having committed an extensive burglary. For some
time past the above neighbourhood has been infested by a
daring gang of burglars, and numerous robberies have been
committed. On the night of the 19th of April, after the
family and the whole of the domestics had retired to rest,
the mansion of the prosecutor was forcibly. entered and
plundered of considerable property, consisting of plate,
jewellery, wearing apparel, and other property to a great
amount, and the thieves made their esoape with their booty
without alarming the inmates. On the following morning
the house was strewed with property which the fellows left
behind them, and, judging from the vast extent of the rob-
bery, there is little doubt but the thieves must have had
vehicles to take away the property. On the discovery, the
prosecutor instantly gave information to the metropolitan
police; and caused, bills, offering a reward for the apprehen-
sion of the thieves, to be circulated, and announcements in-
serted in the Hue and Cry and Government police report,
with a description of the stolen an ticks, but no trace was
found until Thursday last, when the prisoner called at the
shop of Mr. Franklin, pawnbroker, of Tottenham-court-
road, and offered in pledge two valuable silver candlesticks
and two cases of jewellery. The shopman having received
information of the robbery, with a description of the pro-
perty, questioned the prisoner, who hesitated, and became
confused, which caused his detention uiail an officer was
procured, and he was given into custody and taken to the
station-house. On referring to the bills, &c., the articles
were found exactly te, correspond with the dc6eriptice
given. On narzidng the prisoner, ‘.1,91,1 clopfieates for arti-
ctesµf various descriptions were Land in his possession, all

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

On Thursday, Ann Cummin, a young Irishwoman, was
indicted for unlawfully deserting her female infant child,
and exposing it to the inclemency of the weather. •
Henry Spencer, on the night in question, saw a bundle
lying on the steps of Mr. Terry's door. There were three
women standing by, one of whom told him not to kick the
bundle as he passed it.
Bugg, the beadle of the parish, stated that on the 3d
June, the prisoner came to the workhouse and asked to see
a child that had. been found in Goswell-road. Witness
showed her the Wrong one, upon which she said, " Oh,
that's not my child." He afterwards showed her the right
one, and her maternal feelings at once returned, and she
took the infant in her arms, kissed and fondled it, and then
burst into tears. Being satisfied that she was the person
to whom the infant belonged, and by whom it lied been
deserted, he gave her into custody. •
The prisoner, in defence, said she would never have left
her infant, but her husband had deserted her and gone to
America.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Court sentenced her to three months imprisonment
in the House of Correction.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A•tt who ffave his name Thomas
Loot, was yesterday brougtit tie ore ~
with having caused a cat to be worried to death. A police-
man who witnessed the transaction saw the defendant set
his clog at a cat which had taken shelter between some rail-
ings. The terrified animal made an effort to get away, but
the defendant kicked it back again, and encouraged the dog
to worry it, until death terminated the cruel pastime. 'Wit-
ness came up and took the defendant into custody.
Mr. CONANT said the conduct of the defendant displayed
wanton cruelty, and he should, therefore, inflict the fine of
ten shillings.

Yv
The fine was Immediately paid.
IV-in. Cochran, under butler in the establishment of Sir
Compton Doraville, No. 5. Grosvenor-square, was yester-
day brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with having

morning without opposition. Thoy leave this place to-
morrow for Torquay, on their way to London.
Ply mouth is in a great state of ferment. The polling
takes place to-morrow ; the nomination took place to-day.
The friends of the Liberals are sanguine in their anticipa-
tions of returning both their old Liberal Members, Collier
and Bewes. _ _ _ _

Cheat interest is excited as to whether Lord Eliot (a
Tory), or the gallant Sir Hussey Vivian (a Whig), shall
be the successor of Sir W. Molesworth in East Cornwall.
It is not doubted but that the Reformers will triumph.

A nice little specimen of the' Arartin" family ar-

days, suddenly migrated from this neighbourhood. It ap-

as so many insects were buzzing about the little stranger. We
fear it has lost a portion of its plumage, but the white feather
in its tail we suspect is uninjured.—Nottinyhani Review.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-The approaching dissolution of Parliament has in-
duced most of the constituencies to use their best exertions to
secure the return of honest and unflinching Reformers ; but,
strange to say, there is every probability of our ancient city
becoming, in the worst sense of the word, a rotten borough.
I am grieved to say, that the leading supporters of Mr.
Dundas have been cajoled by the Lowther party—a base and
despicable faction—who could not otherwise have secured the
return of their nominee--to enter into a scent compact to
allow the two present Members to walk over the course, and
thus in the ensuinr, Parliament, as far as we arc concerned, the
great cause of Reform will be compromised.
Now, Mr. Editor, is it reasonable and just to suppose that
the real Reformers, who so manfully did their duty in bringing
forward a man of their own principles, Mr. Barkley, the up-
right advocate of purity of election and liberal Government at
the last election, will so tamely submit to an infamous dicta..
tion ? Is liberty a mere " Vox et preterea nihil ?" And are
we again to contribute our proportion to the Great National
Assembly by electing two men, who, by the votes which they
will give, will allow the great cause of Reform to remain in
abeyance, the Reform Bill a dead letter, and the abolition of
abuses, both in Church and State, unheeded? Is this to be
borne ? Are the ardent feelings of the sincere Reformers to
be smothered by the convenient arrangement which has been
entered into by those who would be our leaders ? It is no-
torious that those tyrants—the Tories—only returned their
man by means of the most corrupt bribery, as was fully proved
in the inquiry which very properly took place before a Select
Committee of the House of Commons; and as they will now,
bold and wicked though they be, scarcely again venture upon
the same base and iniquitous course, no one, I think, can rea-
sonably doubt the result of a contest, in which purity of prin-
ciple and freedom of election prevail.
I have troubled you with these few remarks upon the pre-
sent state of affairs here, and I hope you will be able to raise
the Reformers from the apathy which seems to possess them,
either by inserting this letter in your valuable paper (which is
not unknown in our city), or by making such comments on the
base and truckling► conduct of our leaders, as you think the
case demands. I shall peruse your next paper with no little
anxiety, and in the mean time I remain, Mr. Editor,
Your obedient Servant,

We have received Sydney papers to the 19th March. The

upon them by the seamen and labourers for an increase of
wages. The shipowners had determined not to succumb, and
have agreed to pay the same wages as before.

of which no impartial perso❑ can deny the justice.
Madrid was tranquil. The attempt to assassinate
the QUEEN, by the throwing of two bits of lead, is
ridiculed as the freak of some children, who were quite
unaware of the presence of her MAJESTY. The
bullets were probably thrown by some juvenile slingers,
who were amusing themselves at some distance from
the Royal carriage, and who had no intention of aim-
ing at any person.

Extracts from New York Papers to the 25th ult.
received by the packet-ship United States, which ar-
rived at Liverpool on Friday, will be found in another
part of The Sun. Though relating principally to that
all-absorbing topic " the state of the money-market,"
they are sufficiently varied and interesting to command
the attention of the general reader. In a commercial
point of view the aspect of the States is still gloomy—
somewhat gloomier in our opinion than it was
some ten or fifteen days before the date of these
arrivals. The news of the refusal of the Bank
of England Directors to support the American houses
here had not reached New York when the United
States sailed from that port—consequently we may
prepare ourselves for still more disastrous pecu-
niary intelligence from the New World. The federal
Executive Government having taken no efficient steps
to sustain public credit, the sole dependance of the
remaining solvent institutions was the aid which they
expected to receive from the continued generosity of
the national Bank of this country.

are strongly disposed to raise the top price of Flour 3s. per

SCOTLAND.

The Edin'iurgh Courant contains the following obser-
vations:—The country now begins to be seriously en-
grossed with the bustle of a general election. Addresses are
daily circulated by the different candidates ; and these are fol.
lowed up by an active canvass of the constituency. Alraest
every town and county will be the scene of an election cot:-
test, and, although both parties are bold and confident, yet in
many cases the result is doubtful, and can scarcely be foretold
even by those most conversant in local politics. The contest
generally lies between the Conservative and the Ministerial
parties. In one or two places, Radicalisin has reared its head ;
but its doctrines do not seem to find any great favour among
the great majority of the electors.

PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—A splendid silver
salver, of exquisite workmanship, has been presented to S.
J. Van Butchell, Esq., surgeon, of Percy-street, Bedford-
square, by several of his patients, in acknowledgment of his
extraordinary professional skill, in a variety of complicated
cases. The salver, which is valued at a hundred guineas,
was raised by a subscription set on foot by a Military Officer,
(who had been restored to health by Mr. Van Butchell's
treatment) who found, we understand, within the short space
of a few weeks, sufficient persons who had derived benefit
from Mr. Van Butehell's abilities to come forward and thus
display their esteem and gratitude. In the centre of the
salver is the following appropriate inscription :—" This salver
was presented to Mr. Sidney J. Van Butchell, by a nume-
rous body of his patients, in testimony of their gratitude for
the relief afforded, and the effectual cures accomplished by
his humane and skilful treatment of their cases, and as a sin-
cere though inadequate tribute of the esteem and regard they
entertain for hisi his professional talent and private worth."—
