Mr. GROTE presented a petition from persons con-

LONDON :

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1839.
EVENING EDITION.

A considerable number of petitions were last night
presented in the Lords, for and against the Corn-laws,
but chiefly for them. The landowners are both active
and cunning : and as .was remarked by Lord BROUGHAM,
send forward a petition signed by many J. P.'s as one
of merchants and. manufacturers, which smacked much
more of. land than of trade..

A conversation took place about the Mexican pilot,
taken by the French out of a British vessel, which un-
fortunately only showed a great want of precise know-
ledge on the part of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY .moved for returns
relative to Spain, and provoked an explanation from
Viscount MELBOURNE of his Spanish policy, in which
the Noble Viscount disclaimed having encouraged in
any manner the new loan. Their Lordships did no
business of importance.
• In the House of Commons the Committee appointed
to inquire into Mr. HARVEY'S case reported that he
had vacated his seat, and a new writ was issued for
Southwark. The Committee were unanimous, but Mr.
Humu said that other gentlemen had received money
or office from the Government, and had not been un-
seated. Mr. WYNN called for the names, and Mr.
JEavis named the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, who
had received an appointment under the Lordship of
Denbigh. It was received, however, a day or two before
the last election. On March 7, Mr. Pryme is to propose
a Bill for the Abolition of all Grand Juries.
Mr. GILLON moved the House into Committee to
take the subject of taxation into consideration. The
Hon. Gent. principally complained of the disadvantages
to which Postmasters were now subject, said he meant
to propose a diminution of the post-horse duty, a tax on
gentlemen's carriages conveyed by rail-roads, and a
license duty on steam-boats.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced
that he meant to correct the evils mentioned by the
Honourable Member, and recommended him to leave
the matter in his hands ; and after some conversation,
Mr. GILLON withdrew his motion.
Mr. HUTT moved a resolution censuring the conduct
of the King of HANOVER, for levying a sort of black mail
at Stadt, on all ships going up the Fibe, but withdrew it
also on the representation of Lord PALMERSTON, that
Government was usinc, its best endeavours to put an
end to this piracy.' A'vessel of war would be the best
negociator.
Mr. POULETT THOMSON obtained leave to bring in
two Bills to secure the copyright of tile designs of
London, England, 1839-02-22

CITAPNIAN V. SEVERN.

Mr. WIGRAM concluded his arguments to-day on behalf
of the respondents, in this case, which has already occupied
the Court for several days. The further arguments mere
postponed till to-morrow week, when Mr. Lowndes will be
heard ou the same side as Mr. Wigram, and the Attorney-
General will reply.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS I)AY.)

Short causes and unopposed petitions occupied His
Honour the whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

ENT'S V. BENNETT AND OTHERS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. RLE, Mr. HUMPHREY,
Rad Mr. SMITH for the plaintiff. Mr. SERGEANT BOMPAS,
Mr. BUTT, and Mr. BERE, for the defendants.
The plaintiff in this case is the possessor of a tenement
and three or four acres of laud, known by the name of Croft
Walker, about one mile and a-half from the south side of she
Bristol Channel;:and the action was brought ageinst Ben-
nett and two other persons, who are only nominal defend-
ants, for trespass, the real defendant being Mr. Crease,
who claims the property as the assignee of a lease from the
Duchy of Cornwall. The question was, whether Croft
Walker constituted part of the manor of Tywern Hale.
The case, which is entirely devoid of public interest, is
expected to occupy two days.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTHWARK.

GENTLEMEN,
ASELECT and SECRET COMMITTEE
of the HOUSE of COMMONS, in whose appoint-
ment I had no share, and from whose deliberations I was
expressly excluded, having in its wisdom resolved that my
acceptance of an office was the acceptance of an office of
profit and emolument, notwithstanding the admitted and re-
corded renunciation of all profit and emolument on my part,
my seat as your Representative is declared to be vacated.
Borne down and kept down by the strong arm of an irrespon-
sible and relentless professional despotism, whose spirit breather
through every proceeding in any way affecting my peace os
fortunes, I feel no surprise at a decision which must disgust tha
minds of all just-thinking men.
My political conduct is before you, and. having through many
weary years fought the good fight of the people, I shall be
•found faithful to the end.

I again appeal to ♦our disinterested support, to guard me
from every attempt which shall dare to speculate upon your in-
difference, or my inferior resources.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted Servant,
D. W. HARVEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN;

Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, Feb, 22, 18:39.
SIR,—You will oblige me by correcting in both your
Morning and El ening Papers an important error in the
otherwise accurate report of what I said at the meeting of
the Anti-Corn-law Delegates yesterday. I st,...ted,
that the concern in which I am a partner, em-
ploys a thousand persons, of whom about four
hundred (and not the whole, as you have it), earn: on
an average twenty-two shillings weekly, and that not one
man in my employ (and I now include the lame and blind
among the number) receives so little as the average of the
wages paid to their able-bodiel labourers by the landed
capitalists.—Your obedient servant,
RICHARD COBDEN.

" ARGUS" OFFICE, FEB. 22, 1839.
CAUTION TO ADVERTISERS.—The
unexampled success of " THE ARGUS" Newspaper
having excited the most acute m3prehensions in some of my
Contemporaries, they have in their distress appealed to the hu-
manity of the public, by inducing them to believe that my Large
Double Sheet is intended to incorporate, smother, or swallow
them up. To prevent misconception, and appease their ago-
nized feelings, I adopt this mode of publicly announcing that I
have no such sanguinary intentions." That " THE ARGUS,"
like Hercules, has been able to run alone from its birth ; and
further, that I look to the public, and not to party or faction,
for support. C. M. WEST3IACOTT.

CORN-LAWS.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from
the merchants and manufacturers of Lancaster in favour
of the present system of Corn-laws, signed by 1,400 in-
dividuals.
Lord BROUGHAM (after having looked at the pe-
tition) said that he observed an addition to several of
the names " J. P. for the county of Lancaster" which
sounded much more like land than commerce.—(Hear,
and a laugh.) The petition was said to be from the
merchants and manufacturers ; but among the names
he saw John Godson, J. P. for the County, of
Grassyard-house, which certainly sounded very like
land.—(A laugh.) It seemed to him very like an
agricultural petition. Then there was William Moore,
of Grimshall, J. P. for the- county. There was another
gentleman, apparently carrying on the manufacture of
gra;n at Millinghall ; and two Other respectable Justices
of the Peace. He saw also among them a solicitor.
Lord REDESDALE merely stated what appeared
on the face of the petition, but they could net have
a petition signed by 1,400, all merchants and manu-
facturers.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH knew a manufac-
turer who was the best farmer in the country.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented peti-
tions from Hereford ; Ramham, in Essex ; two parishes
in Northampton ; Bassett, in Wilts ; Maidstone, in
Kent ; Lincoln, and other places, against the repeal of
the Corn-laws ; from Diss, in Norfolk, from a place
in Essex, and from Monmouth, to the same effect.

LONDON:
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1839.
EVENING EDITION.

The COMMONS did not assemble in sufficient number
o make a House, and were necessarily adjourned.

Sir GEORGE GREY is appointed Judge-Advo-
cate, and resigns the Under Secretaryship of the
Colonies.

We have lying before us a paper put forth by
the friends of the landlords, which attempts to de-
cide, to the fraction of a farthing, how much the
bread tax takes from every poor man's loaf. To us
the amount is no matter of consideration, for the
smaller it is, the more despicable and disgustingly
mean does it appear in the idle and rich landlords,
to gather these fractions of farthings from the in-
dustrious poor. Are they now to apply to them-
selves NaTiiAN's parable of the poor man and his
one pet lamb ? It fits them, except that their con-
duet is more paltry than that of DAVID. The ad-
mission, however, that they take something from
every poor man's loaf is of vast importance. We have
no notion, as the unmarried lady said of her child,
that the sin is to be excused because it is a small
one. On tls contrary, in the case of the Corn-
laws it is aggravated, for meanness is added
to rapacity. Murder and plunder, under
the n;:ine of war, are partly recommended to us
by their magnitude. There is something Godlike
ie the power brought into operation which almost
redeerns the iniquity. But single assassinations
and petty theft are merely odious and execrable.
The smaller the amount stolen, the more helpless
the victim of an outrage, the greater is our disgust
at the criminal. Thus the means taken by the
advocates of the landlords' plunder to extenuate
their offence, only adds contempt to indignation, for
it degrades the descendants of the bold Barons far
below the level of the huckstering, cheating, pilfer-
ingg trampers.

The Morning Post of this day is singularly hot
and peppery, and the cause of our Contemporary's
unusual excite:nent is this. In a speech which he
delivered on Tucscl7.sr night in the House of Com-
Ocins, on the sulaject of popular education, Lord
iiIHN RussELl4 chanced to observe that he " re-
ticed to hear that the Clergy had become zealous
in the cause of education, but he at the same time
deubtedwhether so much zeal would have been shown
11 them, if they had not been stimulated by
what they saw going forward in other quarters. It
" the long time since they had exerted themselves
ad , cause of education, and he suspected that
ti to change occurred, they would not have made
't exertions they were now making." For this ,
hcutting, sarcasm on the Clerg,v—the more cutting

CRIMINAL CORUT, FEB. 13.

OLD COURT.
Elizabeth Smith, aged 20, was indicted for stealing, on the 6th of
January, a quantity of flannel, value 141., and upwards, the property
of Mr. Atkinson, a shopkeeper, of Westminster Bridge.road. The
particulars have already appeared in the police report. She was
acquitted.

Ellen Saggers, a married woman, was indicted for stealing a 51.
bank note and one sovereign, the property of Frances Maria Kitche-
ner, an officer's widow.

Mr. Payne conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson appeared
for the defence.

It appeared that a close intimacy had always existed between the
prosecutrix and the prisoner, and on the 9th of January, after re-
ceiving her pension, she had the prisoner with her to spend the
evening. During her stay there was 6d. worth of gin sent for,
after taking part of which the prosecutrix threw herself on the bed,
and upon her return to her sitting-room she opened a drawer in
which her purse was deposited, containing the money in question,
but it was gone. The prisoner had taken her departure, and it was
subsequently discovered that the prisoner had on the same evening
changed the note produced at the White Hart public-house, in the
Wal worth-road.

Sufficient legal proof of he identity of the note not having been
adduced,
The Jury, under the directions of his Lor &hip, returned a ver-
dict of acquittal.

A Tale of the Sixth CrusadeM. A.
" The author not inaptly designates this ' a novel in rhyme,'
and it has merits in both respects. As a tale it has much to
rivet attention ; it is cast in a superior mould, and the charac-
ters and incidents are naturally and skilfully evolved. The lan-
guage throughout is remarkably easy and graceful; the rhyme,
which, combined with the natural flow of the verse, is a good
test of facility in execution, is of singularly uniform correct-
ness; and there are passages which, for poetic fancy and genuine
feeling, would do credit to some of our best poets."—Liverpool

CORN-LA WS-NEWARK.

One of the largest meetings ever held in Newark, this
day took place, (convened by the High Sheriff for Cm
County, Webb Edge, Esq.), for the South Division of
the county of Nottingham, and is this moment (two
o'clock), concluded, by carrying an amendment in favour
of Repeal, although the Sheriff gave his decision in favour
of the original resolution.
This proceeding on his part was so decidedly contrary
to the fact, that a vote of censure was carried against him,
by at least six to one for his partial conduct.

This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the judg.
ment of the Court of Session. The principal question in the case
is, to what extent, And under what form of diligence the present
defender, Sir WM. P. Elliott, as heir of entail in possession, and
the heir Of entail whtisliall succeed hiM, may be compelled, accord.

the respondents.

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY

ATTWOOD, V. BARTON DRITISD IRON courAxv.
The arguments in this case, which were commenced yesterday,
were resumed to day. The case came before the Court upon three
demurrers to the plaintiff's bill by the defendants, the British Iron
Company. The plaintiff; Mr. Attwood, in consequence of the dc:
fendant not having paid the money declared to be due to him by the
decision of the Ilouie of Lords, filed his bill for the purpose of having
the declaration of the Court that the British Iron Company as a
body, and all its shareholders as individuals, were liable to make
good his demand, and also for an injunction and receiver. To that
bill the defendant demurred for want of parties, and those demurrers
now came on for argument.

Mr. Knight Bruce, Mr. Jacob, Mr. Wigram, and Mr. Sharpe
appeared in support of the demurrers; and Mr. Wakefield and Mr.
Lovatt were Counsel for Mr. Attwood.

The case appears likely to occupy several days.

sent at the time, but seemed entirely ignorant of the business, and
persons not well acquainted with the trade might take Russian tai-
low to be dripping.
Mr. Miller, Who had let the shop to the prisoner's son, proved
that the prisoner was entirely ignorant of the trade.
After his Lordship had sumined up, the Jury acquitted March,
on the ground that he might not have known that the property had
been stolen, but found the other prisoner guilty, and ha was sen-
tenced to be transported for seven years.
