FORGERY BILL.

By some extraordinary oversight the names of Mr.
Brougham, and one or two other zealous advocates for the
improvement of our Criminal Code, were omitted in the
published list of the lite Minority of 116, on the amend-
ment moved on the 24th of May, by Sir James Macintosh,
and lost by the absence of only 16 Members. —This amend-
ment, it is to he remembered, went to abolish the punish-
ment of death for forgery, and to substitute, in lieu thereof,
14 years' imprisonment, with hard labour, and occasional
solitary confinement. We further' learn, from the speech
of Sir J. Macintosh, that these 14 years' imprisonment,
with hard labour, were to be succeeded by transportation
for life. The Hon. Members, therefore, who composed
this most respectable minority, cannot be charged with
having failed to provide a severe and adequate punishment
instead of death ; and, as it is extremely desirable that their
names should be known to their constituents, we subjoin
a corrected list, together with the places for which they
are returned to Parliament—many of them being county
members. It is hoped that at the next division on the
same amendment, expected to take place on the third
reading on Monday next, June 7, there will be a large ad-
dition to this honourable catalogue—for sure we are, that
at the next General Election few subjects will be found to
have taken such deep hold of the reflecting part of society
as the needlessly sanguinary and Unchristian character of
the Criminal Law of England.

The remains of the late Marchioness of
NORTHAMPTON arrived in the Calais steamer yesterday,
and were landed by a Treasury order, and delivered to a
gentleman who attended, as a friend of the family, to re-
ceive the corpse. The funeral will proceed to the family
seat, Castle Ashbg, in Northamptonshire. Her Ladyship
died at Rome very suddenly.
