[THE TIMES.

ft is, we believe, -almost unprecedented in
Parliamentary history, that the two Houses
,should sit so long,• and have so much important
business to transact at the close of the Session.
When did it ever occur before that the Budget
was not brought forward till_ the end of June, at
which time Members are usually quitting town,
and the attendance is very scanty ? The Budget
is now to be brought forward on Friday next,
the 28th. In the intervening days are two mo=
Lions, which will, we have no donbt, be ren-
dered highly interesting ;—the one by the
disclosure of facts, the other by the develop-
ment and discussion of prinCiples. Mr. Brougham's
motion stands first in order, and is- for this,
evening. The subject is the influence of the
Crown ; and the result aimed at may proba-
bly be something like that celebrated resolution'
of great note—that " such influence had in-
" creased, was increasing, and ought to be di-
" rninished." For our own parts, we cannot help
thinking, even if no other proofs could be alleged;
that the fact of its increase is most lamentably

attested by the absurd manner in which it is ap-
plied. ' A power, for example, that never could
he exerted but within the bounds of reason and
common sense, would seem to bring its own limi-
tations with it, and might be thought tolerable ;
but a power which forces its willing victims,
without shame or feeling, to slo the most absurd
things possible, and then leaves them to public
ridicule, is of all powers imaginable the most
wantonly tyrannical.

[MORNING Pon.]
The afflicting accounts which we lately pub-
lished, from the• Committee of the City of*London
Tavern, of the_ ravages of famine in Ireland, and
of the dreadful progress it now threatens to
make in that devoted country, have, we are sure,
already suitably impressed the public mind. It
is yet, perhaps, too soon to perceiye the effects
of that impression in any remarkable addition to
the list of subscriptions, but in the lapse of a
very few days we expect to have the gratifica-
tion of recording still greater proofs than here-
tofore of British benevolence. We may truly say
that there never was so imperative an appeal
to our humanity as on the present occasion,
and that.the whole civilized world is anxiously
looking on, to see that we acquit ourselves
as becomes a great and Christian nation. Impo-
verished and wretched as Ireland is, she is
well known in every part of the Globe as the
fruitful parent of talent and heroism ; nor can her
desolate, situation now be any where known,
without exciting the kindliest sympathy. A
great proportion of the existing population of the
United States are either native Irish or the de-
scendants of such ; and of the former, more ac.:
tually fill official situations under
,that Govern-
ment than of all other foreigners• combined. In
Spanish America there are also numbers of Irish-
men ; and by Irish blood has much of the inde-
pendence of that vast territory been, we may
say, achieved. 'Without particularly -adverting
to our East Indian Empire, where the Irish are
so fast gaining an ascendancy, if we turn to Eu-
rope, no kingdom perhaps will be found in which
the familiar names of the sister country are not
amongst those of the most distinguished national
patronytnics.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCE', JUNE 22.
JUDGMENT.- TIIE KING y. CANDICS.

This defendant was this day brought up for judgment of the
Court, having been convicted at the late Surrey Assizes of a
misdemeanour, arising out of the following circumstances :
—The defendant was undertaker to the county of. Surrey, at
Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and was employed to bury the liody
of a man named Lees, who had suffered the sentence of the law.
The funeral took place in due course, and he made a charge of
three pounds to the County. In consequence of some suspi-
cious circumstances; however, especially his refusal to suffer
the relations of the deceased to see the body, inquiry was set
on foot, the coffin taken up and opened, when it was found _to
be filled with rubbish ; and on further investigation, it turned
out that the defendant had sold the body for a certain sum, to.
Mr. Brooks, the celebrated anatomist, in whose dissecting
room it was found.

•
The Court sentenced him to be imprisoned in the House of
Correction, at Brixton, for -six months, and to pay a fine of 201.
to the King.

DOCTORS'.COMMONS; 'JUNE 22:

terest was transacted in either.

Majesty King Geo. III." stands for the next Prerogative Court
day.

SON, printer and publisher of the Beaeon, came on this dtty in

Jury retired for half an hour, and returned with a verdict find-
hig for the prosecutor, with one shilling damages.

AFFECTING EVENT.

DEATH OF :H RS. DRAX GROSVENOR

On Saturday Mr. GRAHAM, a respectable tradesman, resid-
ing at Hammersmith, applied to the Magistrates of Queen-
square police office, for a warrant against a Mr. SMITH, who is
a resident also of Hammersmith, " for having illegally refused
to aid and assist him (Mr. GRAHAM) in suppressing a breach
of the peace, when called upon by him m the name of the
King, in his capacity of constable." A -few days ago, a
lady of, the name , of DRAX GuosvE.,ron, who resided at
Acton House, Middlesex, and also at 17, Alpha Cottages,
Regent's Park, was going with her son, Mr. GROSVENOR,
in her carriage, along the Hammersmith road, when a
powerful fellow named Taylor, formerly a labourer at Ham-
mersmith, ran behind the carriage, and attempted to get up and
ride. The groom, who was standing behind the carriage, re-
fused to let him get up, *hen the fellow seized the groom
by the leg, and pulled him to the ground, and he was injured by
the fall. He called' for assistance, and the coachman'stopped the
carriage, and came to assist his fellow-servant, when Taylor at-
tacked and beat him also. A mob was collected and the lady
inside the carriage was greatly alarmed. He (Mr. Graham)
being informed of the outrage, went with-his assistant to ap-
prehend Taylor ; but so powerful was the fellow, that he
knocked them about like children ; he therefore took out his
staff, and called upon Mr. Smith, a respectable inhabitant, in
his Majesty's name, to aid and assist him in securing Taylor,
and preventing any further breach of the peace. Mr. Smith
laughed at him, and refused to render any assistance what-
ever; the consequence was, that 'he (Mr. Graham) and his
assistant, particularly the latter, were beat, and kicked, in a
shocking manner, in conveying Taylor to a place of custody.
On the day after the outrage was committed by Taylor, he
was taken before J. ANDERSON, Esq. a Magistrate at am-
mersmith, and was examined, and the lady (Mrs. Earle Drax
Grosvenor) attended to give evidence against him and he was
ordered to be committed to prison, to take his trial for the of-
fence ; but as he was being removed from the Magistrate's
room, he begged to speak a few words to the lady, when he
made an affecting appeal to her not to prosecute him for the of-
fence, on the score of humanity to his wife and children, as
he was truly sorry for his improper conduct. The lady wished
to extend mercy towards the prisoner, but the Magistrate could
not suffer such an outrageous offence to go unpunished, for by
doing so, 'he should be compromising his duty towards the
public, and the man was ordered to be conveyed to gaol.—The
lady was so greatly affected at the appeal of the prisener frit
mercy, that she fell into the arms of one of her servants, in a
fit; she soon became convulsed, and by the tim^ that medical
aid could be obtained, she was a corpse. The body was laid
out in the house of the worthy Magistrate. The son of the •
Lady was present ; and he was in a state of grief almost be-
yond description, at the awful and sudden event. Taylor was
ordered- to find bail to answer the charge against him at the
Sessions. The Magistrates having conferred with the chief,
clerk (Mr. BLACXISTON) informed Mr. GRAHAM, that he
must proceed by indictment against Mr. Smith, for refusing to'
aid and assist him, when called upon, in the execution ofhis
duty, and expressed their approbation of his' conduct.

THE RECORDER'S REPORT.-.--PH Saturday the
Recorder of London made his report to the King in Council of.
the convicts capitally convicted at the last session, held in,
Justice-hall, in the Old Bailey ; when John Lomas, John
Niewrnanheir, and Itobert Crawley, were ordered for execution,
next Wednesday morning. John Lomas was convicted of. ut-
tering forged 101. Bank of England notes to a very great extent,
particularly to doctors and surgeons, from whom he obtained
change in payment of their tees. One forged 101. note he,
uttered in obtaining change under pretence of subscribing 21% to
a distressed family. The other capital convicts were reprieved
during his Majesty's pleasure.

By the brig ifornby-, which touched at Fal-
mouth on her way to Hamburgh, advices have
been received from Rio Janeiro, dated April 6.
By, them it appears, that the PRINCE !1 GENT
had set out on an excursion to the province of
of Minas Geraes. This journey, no doubt, has
a political, object, and we were before aware
that it was in agitation. The province of Minas
is one of the most populous and rich in the Bra-
zils, and it is of the greatest importance to the
views at present entertained in the capital, that
it should coalesce and make common cause with
the rest, which hitherto• it has evinced no dispo-
FWon to do.` The novelty of one of the Royal
amily going to such a distance in the interior,
and the influence be would carry with him, were
expected to produce some change in the minds,
of the inhabitants.—(Morning Chronicle.)

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN E:ictiANGs, June Is

Our supply was again very light; and, as some country
dealers made their appearance at to•day.'s market, we have
r►ot to note any further reduction in the price of Wheat; nor
can we quote an advance; the better qualities were most
saleable. The dry weather continuing, Spring Corn is in-
fluenced by it. Good grinding Barley was in demand, and
rather higher. ' Oats, which were somewhat lower at the
close of last week, were more in request, and fully main-
tained our last quotations. Beans are full 2, per quarter
dearer. The other articles of the trade were without fluc-
tuation.
