LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1836.

The question of " How will the Lords act with re-
spect to the Irish Corporation Bill ?" is beginning to
engross public attention, to the exclusion of almost
every other subject. The House of Commons having
faithfully discharged its duty, as regards the Bill in
question, the eyes of the people are now naturally
turned with intense interest to their Lordships; and
while the Liberal Reformers hope that they will
allow the measure to pass, in deference to the in-
terests of Ireland ; the Conservatives as ably ~olie
that they will set those interests defiance, and ether
throw out the Bill Eitiiig et he r, or so cripple and ems-
ciliate it, as to render it fit for nothing but to be ex-
hibited in the Museum as an extraordinary specimen
of hereditary legislation. For our own parts, while,
in the words of the song, we " hope for the best,"
we cannot but entertain a sort of uneasy anticipation
of the worst. We cannot but remember the last dis-
cussion in the House of Commons on the Irish Cor-
poration Bill, with the desperate rally that the
Conservatives then made—a rally which was evi-
dently—indeed, almost avowedly, urged for the
express purpose of encouraging the Upper House
to pursue a course of immitigable hostility to-
wards the measure. We cannot, we repeat, but re-
member these things ; still less can we fail to call to
mind the conduct that their Lordships have constantly
pursued towards those important Irish remedial measures
which came before them, sanctioned by the direct ap-
probation of Mr. O'CONNELL ;—and thus reflecting,
we feel
eade
feerlthar_espciauy
tswesheouldnot be discharging our duty to
our
our Irish readers—were we
not to warn them against indulging in any extravagant
hopes, which can scarcely fail to be followed by all the
rage and bitterness of disappointment. Their Lord-
ships are not yet sufficiently enlightened, in their legis-
lative capacity, to justify the people in expecting any
very efficient Reforms at their hands. They are
Statu-quo-ites, in the most literal sense of the term.
They cannot be brought to see the necessity of moving
forwards, except at a decorous, aristocratic snail's pace.
In a word, they are destitute of the bump of locomotive-
tress, and would fain sit still, look grave, and do nothing.
It is vain to tell them that the world about them is in
motion, and that ',therefore it is their duty, not less than
their interest, to be on the move also ; they cannot
feel the force of such logic, because they still imagine,
as they have imagined for the last sixty years and up-
wards, that the world should take the cue from them,

BO W-STREET.

Thomas Brydges,a man of respectable appearance, was,
on Saturday, finally examined for negotiating two bank
notes, one for 501. and the other for 30/., which had been
stolen, together with a letter, in May, 1832, from the Post-
office. The prisoner had already undergone several exami-
nations, which, however, were ,taken in a private room ;
but the whole of the evidence was now read over.
The prisoner was formerly chief clerk in the Comptrol-
ler's Office of the Twopenny-post-office ; and he also had
a son who was a clerk in the Inland Office of the General
Post Office. On the 15th May, 1882, Mr. Jackson, a
gentleman residing at Leicester, had occasion to transmit
• 80/. to a lady named Cooper, living at No. 1, Foster-place,
Gravesend ; and having written a letter, he inclosed in it two
notes of the respective value of 50/. and 30/., and dropped it
into the post-office in time for the post of the same evening.
In due course it would lir.ve reached London on the next
morning, and would immediately have been handed in to
the Inland-office, where the prisoner's son was on duty.
The latter, however, never reached Mrs. Cooper's hands,
and nothing more was heard of its contents until July,
1835, on the Bth of which month the prisoner went to the
Hoop • Hotel, Cambridge, under the assumed name of
Tilley. On the following day he gave the 50/. note in
question to Butcher, the waiter, for the purpose of being
changed, and the latter carried it immediately to the bank-
ing house of Mr. Barker, from whom he received change,
which he afterwards gave to the prisoner. On the 30th of
October the prisoner also went to Leamington, and he
then took occasion to pass the stolen 301. note at the shop
of ,Mr. Phillips, a hatter, of whom he purcnased a hat
for 9s. 6d. •

A statement made by the priSoner on his examination on
Saturday, March 26, was next read ; it was as follows :
" I admit negotiating the 501. note at Cambridge in July
gud.pnrchasing the boots with a part of it. I did not
pass any iitAnsin the name of Tilley. I can satisfactorily
account for rhy-using that name. I am ashamed of
using the note in the -Nay to which I did ; but I found
it near the water-closet in the 1-'w,,4.4ee twelve months
since, and that is the fact. I also stale that T found
the 30/. note in the same place, and at the sang tune.
By a person's having a note in his possession which might
-have been forged, or one, by passing which he would be
likely to get into a scrape, he would be mad to pass it in
his own name. I have told the truth. Ido not recollect
whether it was in July that I passed the note."
The prisoner declared that he was drawn into making
this statement. He wished then to retract what he had
before said.

This having been entered on the deposition paper, he
was fully committed to the gaol at Cambridge, to take his
trial at the ensuing Assizes, and he was soon afterwards
conveyed away from the office in custody of Tyrrell, the
gaoler.

HUNTING.

THE ROYAL HuNr.—On Thursday the place of meeting
was fixed for Salthill, and was attended by a very numerous
field, independent of a great concourse of spectators. The
deer " Abourfield," on being uncarted, made away to Stoke
Park, thence to Wexham, Denham, over Uxbridge-common;
by Hillingdon, leaving Harrow-hill to the right, and to Bushy-
heath (near Watford), where the noble animal was taken.
The run lasted two hours and forty minutes, and although it
was " cold hunting," the hounds hunted beautifully. At
starting it is supposed there were nearly two hundred and fifty
horsemen, of which not more than forty were up at the take,
among whom were Lords Frederick Fitzclarence, the Earl of
Uxbridge, and his son. On the preceding day (a by-day) a
young deer from Richmond Park was uncarted at the New
Lodge, Winkfield, which afforded a very fine day's sport, and
was taken in Datchct-lane. The Royal hunting establish-
ment, at the latter end of next week, will proceed to the New
Forest, where they will hunt for several days.
A game stag was turned out this day near Windsor, before
his Majesty's stag-hounds, to treat the holiday folks to a
chase before the final close of the hunting season. The
stag's horns were ornamented with gay ribbons, and the
neighbouring gentry were present to sec the sport.
he'l Cocknies are treated to their favourite hunt at Epping
Forest, and all sorts of quadrupeds were in requisition for the
hunt.

MARYLEBONE.

Charles Gale, a young man, shopman in the service of
Mr. Laughton, a linen-draper,' formerly carrying on an ex-
tensive business at 55, Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, and
who, on Saturday se'nnight, was placed at the bar before
Mr. SHUTT, on the charge of having plundered his master
of property to a considerable amount, was brought up for
fmal examination.
The solicitor, Mr. Goddard, of Wood-street, Cheapside,
again attended on the part of the assignees, and Mr. Go-
vett, of Warwick-square, Newgate-street, for the prisoner.
The office was, as on the former occasion, crowded with
respectable tradesmen from various parts of the town.
A number of witnesses were examined and cross-exa-
mined by the solicitors, and the prisoner, who made no de-
fence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
A POLICEMAN TURNED PREACHER.—David 2IP Allan,
a tall young Scotchman, wearing a blue camlet cloak, with
green fur collar, and who was lately a constable in the C
division of police, was brought up in custody, charged with
creating an obstruction by preaching in the open air. police
constable D 42 on the previous day (Good Friday) was on
duty near Christchurch, Stafford-street, Lisson-Grove,
when his attention was attracted towards a mob down the
street. He then went up, and found the prisoner perched
on the top of a high stool, from which elevated position he,
in a voice of thunder, was assuring about three hundred
persons that he had been sent down expressly from Heaven
to convert sinners to repentance ; he refused to go on, and
in consequence thereof witness, in order to make the foot-
path open and free for those who were passing to church,
conveyed him to the station-house. He was in the fre-
quent practice of collecting crowds in a similar way, and I
near the same spot. _ _ _

We regret to have to announce the death of the celebrated
Chancery lawyer, John Bell, which took place this morning at
his house in Bedford-square. The Learned Gentleman was one
of the greatest lawyers of his day, and it was remarked of him' by
Lord Eldon, when asked whom he considered the greatest
Chancery Barrister, that he could neither walk well, talk well,
or write well. Although Mr. Bell has long since retired from
the legal profession, his death will be long and greatly re-
gretted by every member of it. His affability was proverbial,
and his loss will be especially felt by the younger aspirants to
the legal profession to whom his assistance was invariably and
with the greatest kindness given.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-THIS DAY

BRADSHAW V. MURPHY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is High
Constable for the parish of St. Pancras, for an alleged libel.
The defe;dant was the late candidate for Marylebone, who
presided at a Vestry where certain resolutions were agreed to,
censuring the conduct of the plaintiff, in regard to the execu-
tion of warrants against some of the vestrymen, for putting
down names in the Revising Barristers list. When the case
was called on the plaintiff ha withdrawn the record.
The defendant then complained of being used in a very
vexatious manner. He had attended all the week, and he
trusted that his Lordship would allow him costs for that time.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS said the case would have gone on
but for a mistake in the record. .

Mr. MURPHY. —That might have been done purposely, in
order to afford a chance of escape in case of the cause being
defended with spirit.
Lord ABINGER said he had no jurisdiction. The defandant
was entitled to no more than the costs of that day.
Mr. Murphy said the case. was a very hard one. He knew
the parties well, and was perfectly sure that the case had been
got up for party purposes.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

NEW COURT.

Captain Peter Thomas Tadman was indicted for stealing a
cabriolet, value 501., the property of William John Felton.
It was proved that the prisoner at first went to Mr. Felton's
under the pretext of purchasing a coach, but afterwards hired
a cab at the rate of Si. a mouth. At this time he was living
in a large well-furnished house at Chelsea, which he falsely
represented as his own. He then got possession of another
coach, which, with the cab, he sent for sale to Mr. Robinson's
Repository, getting 101. in advance. .It was. contended by the
Counsel whom the prisoner retained, that he had not so parted
with the property as to make out a case of felony. The Jury,
however, thought otherwise, and found the prisoner guilty.
There are four other indictments of a similar nature against
the prisoner,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
EXTENSIVE PLUNDER.--,-.lt is fresh in the recollection
of our readers that a broker of the name of Thomas Harvey
Forrester, obtained a number of tallow warrants from
Messrs. Overend and Gurney, the bill-brokers of Lombard-
street, for which he paid with a draft on the Bank of
England for 6,5731. 3s. 9d., which draft was dishonoured,
and that the delinquent, having disposed of the warrants,
escaped to the continent. A warrant was issued next day
by the Lord Mayor, and put into the bands,of Daniel For-
rester, the officer, who, accompanied by a gentleman
named Roussel, immediately went in pursuit of the offen-
der, and succeeded in apprehending him at Brest, and
causing him to be there examined.

The LORD MAYon. on Saturday mentioned that it would
be satisfactory to know that he had had official information

that the prisoner, who had by every means in his power
endeavoured to elude pursuit, had been secured, that the
property he bad fraudulently possessed himself of had been,
the greater part of it, found upon him, and that he was im-
prisoned for having travelled with a false passport.
Intelligence was received at the Mansion House in the
course of the day that a merchant had obtained fraudulently
several sums of money from money brokers. The tricks
were played off by changing the dates of old bills of lading,
and it is said that the delinquent has got hold of about
20,000/. by his skill.

Loan Society meeting at Exater Hall, for having failed to
make certain instalments, amounting to 21. Os., in repay-
ment of a loan of 71. to Daniel Lockyer. Mr. Ford had
joined the borrower in signing a promissory note to repay
the money by weekly of 4eyen shillings. The
borrower, after paying 1/. ins., was imprisoned for debt.
The Society, therefore, looked to the surety for repay-
matt. Mr. Ford did not coniiicler hitnielf liable, as the
borrower told him he would get Dr. Tweedale to sign it
also, which he had not done. The Magistrate decided he
was bound to pay the sum.

THE PRESEN f CONDITION OF SPAIN AND DON
CARLOS.
This day, in 1 vol. post Bvo.,
THE COURT and CAMP of CARLOS.
By MICHAEL BURKE HONAN, Esq.
Extract from Debate on Spanish Affairs in the House of Com-
mons, August 5.—" A gentleman (Mr. Burke Honan) was seized
in the dead of the night, carried off to the frontier, not knowing
whether he was to be murdered or not, without any steps being
taken by our Ambassador to prevent it. This gentleman had lately
published a work on the subject of the civil war, containing most
valuable information. Perhaps he had sp ',ken too disparingly of the
then Government in the streets of Madrid. Was it for that he had
been treated in so disgraceful a manner—was it for that the British
Government had not come forward to procure him redress ?"
Printed for John Macrone, St. James's-square.

SKETCHES BY ~BOZ."
With Sixteen Illustrations by George Cruikshank.

Second Edition.
" Irresistibly comic. Boz ' must be a dangerous man in com-
pany, for nothing escapes him ; air, manner, dress, language—the
weakness by which' we torment ourselves, or the pride by which we
annoy others, are all laid bare by this keen anatomizer of human
vanity. Youth and age rich and poor, are shown up in a
mirthful but not unkindly spirit. The vernacular idiom is
given in all its truth and richness, yet free from grossness.
The characters are portraits, and the reader, whether male
female, may find many of his acquaintances drawn to the life.
We are mistaken if these volumes do not find a place in
every library. They contain a rich fund of amusement ; they will
afford entertainment for a short or a long period ; they may be pe-
rused a dozen times, and each time with fresh zest. Our country
friends, desirous of becoming acquainted with the manners of a
large class of people in London, will find that knowledge very plea-
santly conveyed in these Sketches."—Observer.

DEERE V. GUEST.

This was an application to set aside an order of the
Vice-Chancellor, allowing a demurrer. The bill was filed
to restrain the Dowlas Railway Company from using a
road made across the plaintiff's farm in the vicinity of Mer-
thyr Tydvil. The demurrer was sustained by the Vice-
Chancellor, on the ground that the heir of the mortgagee
had not been made a party, and that the possessor of the
farm had acquiesced in the formation of the road.
The Loan CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the bill
could not be sustained ; but gave the plaintiff liberty to
amend.
His Lordship rose at two o'clock.

able on the score of politics as any other that could hare
been selected.

It has been communicated to us, that Mr. Hammersley,
the magistrate who signed the committal for Ryan, did so
on the distinct application of the Chief Constable who
brought Mr. Ryan before him in custody, under the Co-
roner's warrant. Mr. Hammersley, conceiving that he was
bound in law to comply with the requisition, imagined that
he would best perform that which he was led to think a
duty, by copying into his committal, and from that most
extraordinary document, a production of compound igno-
rance, the very words used in the Coroner's warrant. Mr.
Hammersley is a gentleman of high honour and Conser-
vative principles, and the bailing of Ryan had his fullest
concurrence.

bereft of the esteem and confidence of the people, are to be

period.—Pilot.

FIRE.--Between two and three o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, the neighbourhood of Ormond-quay, with the principal
portion of that part of the city, was thrown into a state of
the greatest alarm and consternation by tho breaking out
of one of the most destructive conflagrations that has for
some time past has been witnessed in this city. The fire
originated in the house of Mr. M'lntosh, music seller, No.
11, Lower Ormond-quay. The fire immediately communi-
cated to the house of Messrs. Roberston, laceman, No. 12,
which, in a very short time, also became a prey to the
flames. In the course of an hour a party of police, toge-
ther with the Castle guard, arrived, who acted under the
direction of Mr. Sheriff Veevers. The engines of the Atlas,
Manchester, Royal Exchange, and West of England com-
panies were procured ; but before they could be got into
play both houses were nearly consumed. The engines were
admirably served by parties of the Coldstream Guards and
of the 95th Regiment, which, no doubt, saved the adjoining
houses from destruction ; as it is, No. 13, the house of Mr.
Franklin, oil cloth manufacturer, has suffered considerable
injury. At five o'clock the fronts of the houses (11 and 12)
fell into the street with a terrible crash. The engines were
at work up to twelve o'clock yesterday, when the embers
became extinguished.

BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

Lord DENMAN, in answer to a question put by the At-
torney-General on behalf of the Bar, as to the course of
business during the rest of the Term, and especially with
regard to the case between the Poor Law Commissioners
and Vestry of St. Pancras, said the Court would on Mon-
day take two cases which had been specially fixed for that
day, and would then return to the Peremptory Paper ; on
Thursday take the New Trial Paper, and again on the
Monday and Tuesday following, leaving the Crown Paper
and the Special Paper to their ordinary days, and would
devote the three last days of the Term to motions, return-
ing whenever practicable to "the Peremptory Paper. The
case specially referred to might, therefore, come on upon
Wednesday next.

PORTSMOUTH-FRIDAY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The Swallow, schooner, formerly the Duke of
Norfolk's yacht, arrived this afternoon from San Se-
bastian, which port she left on Tuesday last, at noon.
She brings 75 invalids and three or four wounded of-
ficers, but not the least news ; in fact, the town is so
closely invested, that no communication is held with
the interior ; and all that is heard is mere rumour amid
conjecture. The Legion was in high spirits, but in
great distress ; it was never more efficient, but never
more in want of money, necessaries, and clothing.
The lines were deemed invulnerable ; but to keep
them—or even the fortress—money, provisions, and
clothing must be furnished. General Evans had sent
General Le Marchant to London to represent the state
of his forces to the British Government ; and General
Godfrey, with Colonel Wilde, to Madrid, via San-
tander, to represent the same to the Spanish Govern-
ment. Respecting Bilboa we get no news ; the pas-
sengers on board the Swallow heard a heavy firing in
that direction for some hours after they left San
Sebastian, at which place it was understood the Car-
lists had abandoned the siege, after losing many hun-
dred men in assaulting it ; but it was also understood
that in a few days they had resumed operations against
it. Theylhad entire possession of the river between
Portugalette and Bilboa ; therefore, no supplies or
assistance could be rendered to the garrison by sea.
By information from Sir Charles Paget's squadron,
we find that the Inconstant and Pique beat all the
rest of the squadron, and that the Inconstant has a
decided advantage overthe Pique.
