themselves, their families, and servants, to the extent of 75
per cent. of their purchase monies respectively, are to make

sary in order to secure town sections in the first and principal
settlement.

have the opportunity of publicly denying the report that
he was the absentee on the occasion.—(Hear, hear )

THE CITY POLICE BILL.

Mr. RODGERS, seeing the Remembrancer in his place,
wished to put a question to that officer, relative to the
position in which the City Police Bill stood in Parlia-
ment.—(Hear, hear.) There were certain rumours
abroad that the measure was intended to be postponed
by some means or other till another Session, and
strength had been added to these rumours by the sin-
gular fact that on two successive Tuesdays the Bill had
been placed on the House of Commons' paper of busi-
ness, and that on those days it so happened that the
House had been counted out. He was, therefore,
anxious to be informed of the position in which the Bill
at present stood.--(Hear, hear.)
The CITY REMEMBRANCER said that some delay
had taken place in consequence of the necessity of in-
troducing into the City Police Bill some clauses which
were proposed to be introduced into the Metropolitan
Police Bill. These clauses had been on the preceding
day agreed to, and he expected that on that night the
Bill would be read a third time and passed in the
House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.)
11.1 r. SAVAGE took occasion to complain that the City
Police had upon one occasion, to his knowledge, re-
futed to take cognisance of a flagrant case:of assault, be-
cause the policeman applied to had not seen the blow
struck ; and upon another,had refused to take a charge
against a number of persons who were brevking the
peace because the cry of " murder" was not amongst the
,words used by those who were attacked and insulted.

T

.EVENING EVINTION.

A :PF..1.1S CUTi-...D LADY.
TO THE .F.DtTOR 0 1-I.E /SUN .
• •
SlR,—The Post of yesterday cout,his a
letter headed " The Hastings Correspondence," dated
from the Temple, and signed " A Barrister." The
Oriental flummery of this epistle sufficiently designates
its author ; but by contrasting its high-flown periods
with the plain matter of fact of the Court Circular, we
see how very easy it is for a Barrister to place himself
in a most ludicrous position by his extravagant zeal for
his client.

In the letter we find such phrases as the following :
" The innocent, insulted, and wronged member of the
Hastings family, the Lady Flora Hastings, must now
be considered under the special protection of the people
of England, who, regardless of consequences, are ever
ready to extend their powerful and triumphant (!)
shield over the helpless, and to expose to the light of
day the dark machinations of their oppressors." Again.
" The Marquis of Hastings has shown himself suffi-
ciently well read in the Law of Evidence, to accuse and
to designate, especially, the Ladies Portman and
Tavistock as having been the principal actors in
discussing, (wringing, denouncing, and bringing this
atrocious calumny to the notice of the Queen.
The Barrister himself must explain his italics
as well as his English, and might perhaps take the same
opportunity of showing the precise extent of " reading in
the Law of Evidence" which is requisite for an accuser.
How many pick-pockets would escape if the Courts
could only be satisfied with the testimony of such wit-
nesses as are " well read in the Law of Evidence " ?
Another extract and I have done :—" Well and truly
has it been said that the romance of real life exceeds i n
horrors and crime, the fertile inventions of the most
imaginative authors ; nor can there be found, throughout
the whole range of fiction, one tale that can compete i*
malice and intrigue with these proceedings in the Palace
of the Queen of England ; nor can a more humiliating
punishment be quoted for a proved crime, than that to
which this most innocent and high-born lady has been,'
&c., &c.

I stop partly to take breath, and partly to wonder
where the victim of these horrors can be immured—in
what wretched cell she hides her persecuted person—
to what remote and desolate region she has flown to
escape from the humiliations of her social position.
Happily for my excited sympathies the very next
column of the Morning Post contains an extract from
the Court Circular, from which I perceive that the
Queen left town for Windsor yesterday afternoon, and
that she was followed by " three of the Royal carriages,
containing Lady Lyttleton, Lady Flora Hastings,"
&c. &c.

I hope this announcement will operate upon the Bar-
rister as powerfully as it has upon me. Let him wipe
the perspiration from his brow, and the foam from his
lips, and be thankful that the miseries of his hapless
client are so effectually concealed from herself, and
from all the world, except a miserable few who hope to
turn them to account. Yours &c.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Ohl" 28.
STOCKDALE V. HANSARD.
In this case which involves the question of the privilege
of the House of Commons, with regard to the publica-
tion of Parliamentary Papers, and in which the Attorney-
General argued the case for the defendant in last Term,
Mr. CURWOOD, this day replied on behalf of the
plaintiff.
Lord DENMAN said that the Court would take time to
consider of their judgment, which would most probably be
delivered on the first paper day.

BAIL COURT, MAr 28.
THE QUEEN V. WM. JOHNSON.

The defendant in this case, who is a cotton-spinner, had
been committed to the House of Correction, at Brixton, for
six weeks, to hard labour, for having on the 9th of May,
left certain work unfinished and quitted the service of his
employer. Two objections were taken to the commitment,
first that it set forth an offence over which the Magistrate
had no jurisdiction, the defendant not coming with the de-
scription of servant ; and secondly, that the punishment
was not warranted by the statute under which the convic-
tion took place. A rule had been granted to show cause
why he should not be discharged from custody.
Mr. CHAMBERS was heard in support of the rule and
Mr. C. JONES against it.—Judgment deterred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON:GARDEN.

Yesterday seven shop-keepers were convicted of using false
weights and measures. Most of them pleaded guilty, and
were fined 5/. and costs each. Owing to the vast extent
to which this fraudulent system is carried on, the Inspec-
tors of Weights and Measures are unceasing in their en.
deavours to bring forward the guilty parties, and latterly
they have been eminently successful.

A public meeting was held at Boston, on Monday
last, the Mayor in the Chair, to address the Queen on
the late outrage. The Tories had canvassed the town
to obtain a majority, and defeat the object of the requi-
sitionists, but were completely and triumphantly de-
feated. The address was proposed by Mr. Alderman
Wright, and seconded by Thomas Collis, Esq., a Ma•
gistrate. A Chartist address proposed to the meeting
by a Mr. Watson, had no seconder.
The Tory address was proposed by Mr. K. W. Aling-
ton, and seconded by Mr. Adams, agent to Mr. Brown-
rigg, the Tory M.P. for Boston. On the motions
being put, the Reformers' address was carried by four
to one, amidst loud cheers. This was followed by
thanks to the Mayor, proposed by John Rawson, Esq.,
and seconded by Mr. Alington, after which three cheers,
and " one cheer more," were given for the Qeuen, and
the meeting separated—the Reformers in high spirits,
the poor defeated Tories in doleful dudgeon. The ad-
dress will be forwarded to Sir James Duke for presen-
tation.

cally combined with the fibres of the cloth; as neither time nor
the usual means of washing and cleansing impair the effects.
They refer to their Prospectus for further particulars, and
are much gratified with the encouragement they continue to re-
ceive from the Royal Family, the Nobility and Gentry, the
wholesalehouses, and the trade generally.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
RHEUMATISM and RHEUMATIC
GOUT effectually cured by a simple LOTION.
m. R. D. IVI'MANUS, Surgeon; 198, High Holborn, (after many
years' research) has discovered a Lotion, by which he effectually
cures the Rheumatism and the Rheumatic Gout, even in its last and
most aggravated forms ; and so confident is he of its success,- that
be requires no remuneration for consulting him unless a cure be
effected.
This Lotion, simple in its composition, but magical in its effects,
requires to be applied only three or four times, when it soothes the
suffering patient, subdues inflammation, era•licates every vestige
of the complaint, and leaves the patient in a state of happy
tranquillity.

POLITICAL

The Times of this morning, referring again to the re-
cent explanations which have been put forward in both
Houses of Parliament, still persists that Lord Melbourne's
resignation was a" vamped-up" one, and the result of trick
on his Lordship's part. This brazen assertion, which is
directly at variance with all the evidence we have on the
subject, proves the desperate length which our Contempo
rary is prepared to go in the service of faction :—" Tne
fact is, that a Lady of the Bedchamber, more or less, had
nothing to do with the real question which lay near the
heart of the Whigs. From the hour of their vamped.up
resignation, it was manifest that they sought but a pretext
for recalling it. Lord Melbourne and Kilkenny Joseph
have been at it for successive days. It is now notorious
that demands have been made on one side and gravely con-
sidered on the other, as to how and on what pretence black
and white might be once more confounded—the game of
fast and loose be again set going—the jobs of Joseph,
Daniel, and the lest of them be resumed for at least
one other Session, and the national voice and national wel-
fare be treated with the same virtuous indifference as for
the four preceding years. Lord Melbourne, for an artful
and somewhat insidious personage, has in this instance over-
shot his mark. The Premier redivivus is rhetorical, al-
most pathetic, upon the cruel calumny which he supposes
might impend over him, representing him as a man who
would be likely to " run away from his post," that post
being a double one—viz., the Treasury and the Royal
closet! A droll alarm this, to torment the Noble Viscount.
For we confess that of all the slanderous insinuations, of
all the wanton reproaches, of all the indignant and abusive
epithets ever launched at, or affixed to Lord Melbourne,
that of abandoning the Royal elbow, or being "a runaway
from" the post either of Downing-street or Pimlico, has
never yet, it is probable, occurred to the mind of any
human being as applicable under any configuration of cir-
cumstances to that Noble Viscount."

The Morning Post comments as follows on
the notice
of motion given by Lord John Russell last night in the
House of Commons,
with respect to the Jamaica Bill :
" The vague and obscure notice given last night by Lord
John Russell of a motion to be made a fortnight hence,
relative to the course to be pursued with regard to Ja-
maica," amounts to conclusive evidence of the fact that
Ministers have to this moment been unable to make up
their minds as to what they shall do, or, perhaps, we ought
rather to say, attempt ; for attempting and per-
forming with them, as we have seen, and their destiny
in this respect seems unchangeable, are very differ-
ent things. We incline to think that the House of
Assembly of Jamaica may dismiss every apprehen-
sion for its own safety, not because it will have become a
wiser or more humane body than it has hitherto been, not

MURDER OF AN ORPHAN GIRL

WORLE, SOMERSET, JLLY 20.
The villa.:;,e of Work., Somersetshire, has been this aeck
thrown into a state of considerable agitation, by being the
scene of as cruel a murder as has ever been perpetrated in

this county. The victim, we regret to learn; is 'a poor or-
phan girl (a parisb apprentice of a farmer named Reeves)
of about 16 years of age, and the murderer is her fellow-
servant, a young man, of about 25 years of age. Our re-
porter, from personal inquiries which he made upon the
spot, states that both the victim and the murderer have
hitherto borne irreproachable characters, and from the
fact of there having been no previous quarrel between the
parties, the cause of the murder is enveloped in mystery,
although from a personal examination of the spit, and
from the evidence upon the inquest, we may perhaps rea-
sonably conclude that there was an attempt made to vio-
late the poor girl's person, which being resisted, the mur-
derer cut the poor girl's throat, sacrificing her life to his
diabolical passion. When apprehended, be stated in ex-
cuse that she had stabbed him first, but from examination
this was proved to be false.

'he friends of Constitutional liberty in Spain will
derive much valuable information from the excellent
sP'eeh of the Earl of CLARENDON in the House of
Lords last night, respecting the present state of the
Peninsula, and the relative positions and prospects Of
the belligerents. His Lordship's statements and
opinions .erive great weight from the admirable way in
which Christinos and Carlists represent his having dis-
charged the important functions of Ambassador at the
Court of Madrid, during a period of almost unex-

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The General Sessions for July took place yesterday, and
the Calendar contained the names of sixty prisoners, but
only four out of that number were charged with felony ;
the remaining cases were principally for assaults and riot-
ous and disorderly conduct.
NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS IN A WOMAN'S MOUTH.—
Catherine Burke was indicted for stealing a sovereign
from the person of Charles Peddy, on the 21st of July.
The prosecutor stated that he was a baker, and lived at
No. 4, Macclesfield-street, Soho. About four o'clock on
the morning in question, he met the prisoner in Bond-
strcct, and subsequently accompanied her to a certain
house, where she took a sovereign out of his waistcoat
pocket.
Police Constable Holding, C 34, said he took the pri-
soner into custody, and she denied on her way to the sta-
tion-house with dreadful oaths that she had a sovereign in
her possession. On arriving there, he discovered that
she, was attempting to swallow something, and he asked
her to open her mouth, which she did, and he looked
into it, but " discerned" nothing.—( A loud laugh.)
He asked her if she would allow him to feel in
her mouth, and if he did so, if she would bite him, and
she replied that she would not. He then felt on her left
side, but " discerned" nothing—( Renewed laughter)—but
on putting his finger to the right side, she bit him so
severely that he was glad to get them out of her mouth
again.--(Loud laughter.) Her mouth. was afterwards
forced, and the sovereign taken out of it.
The prisoner was acquitted.
The CHAIRMAN refused to allow the prosecutor his ex-
penses, and declined making any order as to the sovereign.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
TWO NEW LIGHTS ON THE N. W. COAST OF FRANCE.
CAPE CARTERET.
Notice is hereby given, that on the Ist of July next an
intermitting light will be exhibited on the tower recently
erected upon Cape Carteret, in lat. 49.22.27 N., and lon.
1.48_20 W. of Greenwich. Bright flashes will regularly
succeed each other every half minute.
The lantern is 49 feet above the ground, and being
262 feet above the level of high water at spring tides, the
light will be visible in clear weather at the distance of six
leagues, Lot its eclipses will not be total at less than 2i-
leagues.

CIIERBOURG BREAKWATER.
Notice is also given that on the Ist of August next a
revolving light, of three minutes interval, will be exhibited
on the tower, lately built upon the Fort Central of Cher-
bourgßreokwater, in lat. 49. 40. 25. N. and lon. 1. 37. 3.
\V. of Greenwich. Each flash of light will last four
or five seconds, and will be followed by a short eclipse ; a
faint light will then appear for 21- minutes, and after
another short eclipse there will be another flash, &c. This
light is 65 feet above the level of high water at spring
tides, and will be visible in ordinary weather at the dis-
tance of three leagues. When approaching Cherbourg
in clear weather there will be seen at the same time with
this revolving light on Fort Central the fixed light of
Querqueville, near the western entrance of the road, and
the two fixed lights on Pellie Isle at its eastern entrance,
from their different characters and positions there will be
no danger of mistaking them.
