PORTPATRICK HARBOUR.

Mr. WALLACE gave notice that in Committee of
Supply, on the vote for Portpatrick Harbour, he should
call the attention of the House to Sir J. Rennie's letter on
the subject, and move a resolution that no further grant of
the public money be given for that purpose.
POOR-LAWS.

Mr. YORKE begged to ask the Noble Lord whether
be had any objections to the appointment of a Committee
to inquire into the truth of allegations in a petition presented
on the 17th inst., and complaining of the conduct of the
Guardians of the Poor of the Caxton and Arrington Union ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was not disposed to oppose the
Committee, but he did not think it would be attended with
any advanogrous results.
Mr. YORKE said his only object in moving for the
Committee was to give a public denial of the truth of the
statements in the petition, and he should persevere in his
mction.

JURISDICTION OF COUNTY MAGI3TRATES.

Mr. HUME begged to ask the Right Hon. the Attor-
ney- General how far the authority of the Magistrates of
Warwickshire extended into the borough of Birmingham,
as some doubts appeared to be entertained on the subject.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted to say that
the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's
Bench appeared to him not to be altogether correct. He
thought the Noble and Learned Lord's attention
hat not been sufficiently drawn to the enactments on the
subject. lie (the Attorney-General) was of opinion that
the county Magistrates had a jurisdiction within the new
Borough of Birmingham ; unless there was a no intromittent
clause in the Act they could not be ousted from their juris-
diet:on within the Borough. Now, in the Birmingham
Charter the c was no such clause, nor had there been
any other circumrtance to oust them from the jurisdiction
which they originally had in the county, and all
the towns within it; and with regard to the Municipal Cor-
poration Act there was nothing in it to affect their autho-
rity. The 111th section enacted that until the grant of a
Quarter Session the Magistrates are to have jurisdiction
as such within the Borough, and after that the power was
to be what it had been previous to the passing of the Act.
Mr. FIUME said, it would be very desirable to have
some Bill introduced declaratory of the law.

has a feeling for only one class of persons ; and
the duty of protecting that other and numerous
class, of whom Mr. LOVETT and Mr. COLLINS are
the champions and representatives, never enters his
head. They may be starved by Corn-laws, and
cut down by dragoons, if they meet in numbers to
show their resentment at the scoundrel treatment
they receive; and Sir ROBERT PEEL will encou-
rage the dragoons in the work of slaughter, and
hasten to pass more severe laws to insure obedience
to the starvation code. Now the energy of the
newly aroused, sleepers seems to us to be wrongly
directed, and we apprehend far worse effects from
their activity than from their repose.
It is neither to be denied nor concealed that what
the newly provided force is to effect, is to put down
a certain class of political opinions. They are not
our opinions, and therefore we can with the more
firmness stand up against this new species of per-
secution. What is complained of is the opinions
of certain demagogues which the Magistrates of
Birmingham sought to put down, and what they
are to be armed with a new police to put down, are
certain opinions. They may be erroneous, though
they cannot be more so than those of the Tories ;
they may be mischievous, still it is impossible for
them to be more mischievous than those enter-
tained by the aristocracy, the consequences of
which the country is now suffering under most
grievously. Those opinions, however, are to be
put down by the Magistracy, and for this the new
police force.is to be created. Now the persons pro•
fessing those opinions, and who possess no inconsi-
derable power over the masses, may, for aught we
know, and certainly we apprehend it, be driven by
thisshowy
will of vigour in commencing persecution into
a corresponding and counteracting vigour. We
hope the
be more prudent, but if they are not
more prudent than the Birmingham Magistrates and
the terrified Parliament, the most disastrous conse-
quences will undoubtedly flow from that newly-
awakened vigour which may be more fatal
than sleep. At this moment the peace of this
country rests on the determination of numerous
bodies of men, driven almost to despair ; and while
we see our Legislators and our Magistrates continu-
ally led astray by their passions it is difficult to be-
lieve that the classes who are in poverty, and who
believe themselves injured and outraged, will be
more discreet than the easy classes. We dread
that the avowed measures of coercion to put down

THE INQUEST.

Yesterday an inquest was held upon the body of the de-
ceased, who was a girl of very interesting appearance, at
the New Inn, Worle. The body presented marks of con-
siderable violence, there being five wounds, and a severe
bruise upon the forehead, three wounds of about two inches
in length on the left side of the neck, and a very extensive
wound, penetrating the jugular vein, on the right &de of
the neck, which no dohht caused her death.
Upon the return of the Jury from viewing the body, the
accused, Charles Wakeley, was brought into the room in
custody, anal appeared much excited.
Her master having deposed to her having been sent upon
an errand to Worle on Wednesday evening, at about six
o'clock, and to his having found her dead body, with the
throat cut, in the lane,
__ _

Samuel Norman, the relieving officer, deposed that on
the evening in question, as he was riding through Snatch-
lane, he saw the prisoner come out of a ditch on the left
side of the road. lie came towards witness, and then
turned into the lane. Immediately afterwards a girl came
out of the same part of the ditch and went towards
Worle ; she turned round and witness saw that her ftce
was covered with blood ; and her bonnet was hanging
down her back. Witness rode after the prisoner to see
who he was, and upon coming up with him, the prisoner
said, " Oh, I must die." I said to him, " What have
you been doing—you have cut her throat ?" and he replied
" She stabbed me first." I then took him into custody,
and delivered him to the constable.
Sarah Bowden deposed to finding the deceased lying in
the ditch on her face. Her legs were naked, and witness
pulled her clothes down, and remained with her until she
died.
Further evidence was given as to the blood found on the
bushes, from which it appeared that a considerable struggle

The Report of the RODEN Committee, which
was to crush Lord NOR.:MANBY, has now been pub-
lished for some time, and the public, nay even those
who got up this party inquiry, seem to attach little
importance to the result ; and for the best of all
reasons, declamatory accusations cannot gainsay
facts. The present state of Ireland proves the
judicious and impartial administration of justice,
which the accused Nobleman commenced,
and which his . -upright and high-minded
successor is carrying out to the full extent.

MU R R AY'S FLUID MAGNESIA._
HERBERT MAYO, Esq., the justly eminent Sur-
geon, has expressed his high approbation of Murray's Fluid
Magnesia thus.—
`• I am very ready to allow you to use my name and testi-
mony to the efficacy of your condensed solution of Magnesia.
It is by far the best form in which that medicine has been pre-
pared for use ; the Magnesia being perfectly dissolved in your
preparation never irritates the Stomach, and is not liable to
accumulate in the Bowels, -as occasionally happens when the
medicine is taken in the ordinary form. From professional
indications of so much usefulness as this I think it just not to
withhold my public recommendation,
which I have not before
given in favour of any remedy, although I frequently see my
name falsely used for this purpose.

GOOD LOCKS A PREVENTIVE TO
CRIME.
The Police Reports almost daily show to those who have
property of importance the necessity of procuring a good Lock.
Crime to a very serious extent may be traced to the negligence
or indifference shown as to the quality of Locks—bad Locks
giving no security whatever, but enabling the dishonest and
the curiou to open and f clock to lull suspicion, by means of
other ordinary keys, or pick them with the common pick keys ;
thus private stock in trade, jewels, plate, documents, and
papers of the most serious nature, are exposed to the prying
curiosity of those left in trust in the absence of principals. To
avoid these ruinous losses and exposures procure the SEVEN-
GUARDED LOCK, warranted and made by S. MORDAN
and CO., London, that defies the most ingenious burglar, or the
most determined meddler, whose love of curiosity overrules
every other feature. The Lock may be had by personal appli-
cation, or by letter, at the following prices Cupboard,

THE CROPS.

Many of our country Contemporaries continue to furnish
accounts of the crops as unfavourable as those alluded to
on Monday. The following few extracts from the provin-
cial Papers received to-day speak the language of perhaps
the majority :
Several farmers in the neighbourhood of Bradford, who
expected, from the appearance of the grass, heavy crops,
have ham much disappointed, the grass, when mown, being
very thin.—HaVax Express.
The wheat, which everywhere promised an abundant
crop, has been " laid low," presenting over a large breadth
of country the appearance of having been rolled. Should
the stem not be able to resume its upright position, and the
weather not be warm and showery, the mischief will be
incalcu!able. Some damage has also been done in the hop_
gardens, which, however, have not throughout the 'season
given hopes of a large crop. The present time is very
critical in respect of the grain crops, and ardently do we
hope that we shall immediately have fine weather, for the
sake of all classes. We regret to add that the weather
throughout yesterday continued equally unpropitious; we
had boisterous March winds with heavy April showers.—
Hereford Times.
The wet weather of the week has materially interfered
with the hay harvest ; and we regret to state that large
quartites are lying in the fields in a half made state.
Where it is much damaged, the farmers would do well to
salt it in the proportion of eight pounds to a ton, which
would make it very palatable to cattle. The swathe cuts
light. The crops of grain are very promising all through
the country. Fine weather is much desired for them. The
1 potato crop has been a partial failure.—Liverpool Christ.%

4 NEW SYSTEM of MENTAL ARITH-
METIC.

By Mr. DANIEL HARRISON.
" This is a most ingenious Work. It contains a number of
processes for abridging the labour of calculation, the effect of
which is astonishing. It is scarcely hyperbolical to say, that
it may enable any one to rival the arithmetical feats of Zerah
Colborne, and similar prodigies. We heartily recommend it,
and hope an extended sale will afford the Author some recom-
pense for his long toils and extraordinary acuteness."—True
Sun, Jan. 26, 1837.
" The Author of this Work is well known in Bath and
Bristol, having often lectured at the different Institutions on his
method of calculation. The object of the present book is to
teach, at a very small price (55.) the method of promptly an-
swering all numerical questions, without recourse to pen or
pencil. The Author also gives many examples of the great
utility of fractions, and shows their application to mental calcu-
lation. The book contains many other particulars of the sci-
ence of figures, among which is a new and valuable mode of
performing involution and evolution."—Bath Journal, Jan. 9,

GRAND SAILING MATCH.

AR UNDEL YACHT CLUB.—A very excellent match amongst
the yachts belonging to the members of this club took place on
Monday. The contest was for a handsome silver cup, pre-
sented to the Ciub by T. Hellas, Esq., a great patron of river
sports, and owner of r some beautiful craft. The distance had
been originally fixed from Greenwich to Gravesend and back ;
but at the last Club meeting it was determined to moor the
rounding boat at Greenhithe, as distance sufficiently great to
try the sailing merits of any vessel of the regulated size. At
half-past twelve the signal was given to get ready, and the
Dauntless, Arrow, Briton, Bermudian Maid, and Sylph's crews
were all in readiness. The Sylph was the first boat, the
Dauntless second, the Briton third, and the Arrow fourth.
They ran down the different reaches without any change in the
leading or second boat, occasionally nearing one another, as
they best caught the wind, so as to leave but a few lengths from
the bowsprit of one to the stern of the other. They rounded
the boat at Greenhithe in the following order !—The Sylph,
four minutes past three ; the Dauntless, five minutes 40 sec. ;
the Briton, six min. ; the Arrow, six min. 30 sec. ; and the
Bermudian Maid, eight min. 10 sec. They turned into the
slack, and came up over the tide. The Dauntless, in beating
up, with but little wind, gained on each board slightly on the
leading boat, and off Purr-:et weathered the Sylph, maintained
the advantage, and arrived at Greenwich at 14 minutes past
seven, the Sylph 15 minutes past, the Briton 16 mm. 30 sec.,
and the Arrow 10 mm. later. The latter and carried
away their main halliards in coming up.;

There is a strange rumour afloat respecting the
re-furnishing of Claremont, or, at any rate, putting it in a
state fit for the reception of some person of distinction.
This, if true, must be King Leopold's work, as Claremont
still remains his property; and whatever speculations
people might be inclined to indulge in, on such a circum-
stance, must be guided by that fact. Of course the mere
mentioning of such a thing would set people wondering

SPANISH LEGION.

Captain BOLD R 0.---saidthatii would be in the
recollection of the Noble Lord the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, that on the 26th June 1838 a re-
solution was come to by that House respecting the
claims of the Spanish Legion, and a humble Address
had been presented to her Majesty in consequence,
beseeching her Majesty to use her best endeavours
to obtain a settlement of those claims. Since that pe-
riod a su.n of 280,0001. had been acknowledged to
be due to these claimants, claims to that amount
having been decided and certificates issued in conse-
quence, signed by the Spanish Ambassador, but these
unfortunate men had been obliged to dispose, in many
instances of these certificates at the rate of 201. for a
bill of 1001. Under these circumstances he wished
to ask the Noble Lord what further steps he intended
to take to enforce these claims ?

Lord PALMERSTON said the first. step taken
had been to examine the accounts, and determine what
was due to each claimant. This was settled by two
Commissioners—one appointed by the Spanish Ambas-
sador, and the other by a Committee of the claimants,
the Spanish Minister, and a general officer in the Bri-

ARREST OF SEVERAL MEMBERiI OF THE DEMOCRATIC

ASSOCIATION.

This office was crowded to excess the entire day in
consequence of thirteen persons, members of the above
Association, being taken into custody last night in
Ship-yard,Temple-bar, upon whom were found a number
of pikes, banners, and documents relating to their pro-
ceedings. As soon as the inspectors of the G division
entered the room a man named Cornish attempted to
run through him, and,after some ditlieulty,the doors of the
house were closed, and the prisoners were secured. After
undergoing a lengthened examination before Sic F.
Roe, and the other Magistrates, they were ordered,. to
be brought up again on Wednesday next. Old W
dington, the cobbler, who was tried with Thistlewood,
is one of the prisoners.

MEMORIAL ON THE JA MAICA

BILL.

The undersigned, being persons connected with the
Island of Jamaica, admit that the suspension of a
Constitution like that of Jamaica, of ancient date, and
based upon the principle of popular representation,
would be a measure only justifiable by paramount ne-
cessity ; but they wish to confine themselves to the
important practical consideration of the present critical
situation of that colony, and the measures which that
situation renders necessary.

They find-
-1 st—That new laws are required to regulate the new
relations of employer and labourer, and that the colony
is now suffering severely from the want of those laws ;
and that, unless they are speedily passed, cultivation
must cease, and the great experiment of emancipation,
as far as Jamaica is concerned, must utterly fail.
2d—That the House of Assembly has de facie sus-
pended its functions ; that it refuses to resume those
functions unless Parliament shall make certain conces-
sions, which concessions all parties in Parliament seem
determined to refuse.

The undersigned, therefore, looking to the present
critical condition of the island of Jamaica, and consider-
ing that postponement of legislation will daily aggravate
the danger to which the Colony is exposed, do not
hesitate to declare their conviction, that it is expedient,
under all the circumstances of the case, that a Bill
" to make temporary provision for the government of
Jamaica" should be passed as speedily as possible, in
full reliance that the Crown will be advised to nominate
a Legislative Council, calculated, from its constitution
and the character of its members, to obtain the confi-
dence of the Proprietors and inhabitants of all classes
in Jamaica.

TO THE LIBERAL ELECTORS OF
KIN GSTON- UPON- HULL.
GENTLEMEN,
I have lost no time in confirming in person, the commu-
nication I had the honour of laying before you yesterday.
The event so often pointed out to you as inevitable, has ar-
rived. The wretched policy which induced the leaders of the
Irish and English Whig-Radicals, to barter the advance of the
popular cause, against the pleasures of a Lord-Lieutenant for a
season, has produced the natural result. The section of the Li-
berals to which I more immediately belong, is the only one
which can say it has no share in the blame.
But an object of higher importance than any local results, is
to point out to the two sections of the Liberal party, which may
be denominated the Radicals and the Whigs, the facility with
which they may make the most of their strength, in the consti-
tuencies which send two Members to Parliament and where the
Liberal interest has a prospect of predominance, by joining to
elect one unshackled representative of each division of opinion.
Either of the sections, in these circumstances, has the power
of bringing in twe Tories : and the responsibility will be with
the section which refuses to combine.

The term" compromise," applied to such an arrangement,
is an invention of the enemy. Is it a compromise when men
follow their several pursuits in the same boat, instead of going
to the bottom by common consent?
It would give me pleasure to believe that we had done any-
thing here, which could be deserving imitation elsewhere.
My opinions are what they have always been professed. I
proffer the renewal of my engagement to the old freemen.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

SIR—In justice to my clients I deem it right to call
your attention to a report of this case, which appeared in
your paper of last night, wherein it is stated that the
plaintiffs charged the defendant I6s. per bottle for
Champagne ; now, as this may do my clients a great
injury, by leading the public to suppose they charge
such exorbitant prices, I request you therefore to con-
tradict the statement made by you. The price charged
for the Champagne was 84s. per dozen.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

CHARACTER OF THE ENGLISH PEASANTRY'.
—Hodge is now growing up into a tall, lung, smock-
frocked, straw- hatted, ankle-booted fellow, with a gait as
graceful as one of his own plough-bullocks. He has grown
up and gone to service ; and there he is, as simple, as
ignorant, and as laborious a creature as one of the wag-
gon-horses that he drives. The mechanic sees his weekly
newspaper over his pipe and pot; but the clodhopper, the
chopstick, the hawbuck, the hind, the johnny-raw, or by
whatever name in whatever district he may be called, is
everywhere the same. He sees no newspaper; and if he
did, he could not read it—and if he hears his master read-
ing it, ten to one but he drops asleep over it. In fact, he
has no interest in it. He knows there is such a place as
the Lext town, for he goes there to the statutes and to the
fair ; and as he has heard of Lunnon and the French, and
Bonaparte, and of late years, of America, and he has some
dreaming notion that he sheuld like to there,agohunired

could raise the wind and thought he could find the way ;

I Mr. GODSON said that notwithstanding what had been
said as to the first resolution, he could not refrain from
saying they had met there differing in politics and dif-
fering in religion ; and he must congratulate the meeting
that they seemed to be determined to abolish all
discussion either on religion or politics. He (Mr. Godson)
had on two or three occasions stood upon the hustings, and
had been abused and treated in the grossest manner, be-
cluse he was a slave-owner. In fact, their statements were
deemed unworthy of credit. On his estate he had one-
fourni white labourers, and was it to be supposed that he
would sanction any law which would equally oppress the
whites and the blacks. Was 'Pt to be supposed that forty
