MR. BRADSHAW.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sig,—Through the correspondence in the papers, be—
tween Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Horsman, it is obvious that
between the 4th of January and the 16th of the same
month, a change came over Mr. Bradshaw, upon reflection,
as to the construction of his own speech at Canterbury.
On the 4:h of January, he (Mr. B.) wtites to Colonel
Gurwood, " That in his speech at Canterbury he had
no intention of presuming to allude to her Majesty, but to
her Majesty's Ministers."
But, on the 16th January, Mr. Bradshaw desires Colonel
Gurwood to say, that he disclaims the slightest feeling of
disloyalty to her Majesty, and regrets the expressions he
Ilan made use of, which he has since felt, upon reflection,
were unjust towards her Majesty.
This is a fair acknowledgment of his fault, and what I
fully expected from one who had formerly held a commis_
sion in the Coldstream Guards; but let me ask him if
there is not still one step more for him to take, and that i 3,
to return to the Corporation of Dublin the freedom of their
city, conferred upon him under an erroneous impression of
N }ourE s

Schnur, with him. It is said to he already decided that his

especially the Tory Journals, cavil at it.

NARRATIVE.

On the commitment of Lovett and Collins, after
tlic;ir conviction, to the criminal side of the gaol at
Warwick, two Members of the House of Commons,
Mr. Joseph Parkes and myself, took such means as we
thought were likely to induce Lord John Russell to
cause the prisoners to be removed to the debtors' side of
the prison, where persons convicted of " seditious libels"
bad on all former occasions been confined. Our applica-
tions, which were several, were useless. At this time
Loth the prisoners were, in consequence of the sudden
change of diet, in the infirmary. Application was there-
fore made and urgently pressed upon the attention of
Lord John respecting the 'state of the prisoners and the
provious delicate state of the health of William Lovett,
his immediate friends having concluded that his life was
in danger, and Lord John was earnestly solicited to
Cause both the men to be allowed, at their own expense,
a change of diet ; but it was not until after much time
had passed that the accommodation which you, Sir, have
witnessed was allowed.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
(From the Enquirer.)
MONDAY NIGHT, DEC. 30.—We have to report a large
business having been done to-day in Stocks, at improved
rates. At the Second Board the prices paid at the first
were fully sustained, and the market closed firm. On the
other hand, the pressure on the Money Market continued
excessive to-day ;it would appear, however, to be but
momentary, for while business paper, having a few months
to run, was bought at the previous discount, good bills hav-
ing only ten or twelve days to run were sold at 1 all per
cent. deduction.

Large sales of bills on Paris were made at 5 dol. 30. In
exchange on London the operations were trifling, and the
quotation remains as before, 8} to 81.
The premium on specie is declining to nothing. There
is no demand for export, and the home orders are nearly
supplied, We have little doubt that after New Year we
shall be able to quote it at par.

if they wished to state anything further. With regard to the I
question of the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman, he was
of opinion that in a matter of this importance it would be more
respectful to the House not to state until Monday the course
he should think advisable they should pursue, and they might
do so the more safely now, that they had heard from the evi-
dence that it was scarcely possible the rule calling on the She-
riff to make payment of the damages could be made absolute

for several days.
Sir E. SUGDEN said that if the Noble Lord had not made
np his mind as to the coarse which he thought it advisable to
pursue, of course there could be no okjection to acceding to his
proposition for delaying his statement to Monday ; but if
athe
Noble Lord had made up his mind, he thought it would be d.
visable tkat he should state at once what was the course that
he intended to pursue, in order to give Members time, if it
were in accordance with their views or not.
Sir R. INGLIS hoped the Noble Lord would have no ob-
jection to the motion he intended to propose which was, that
the Sheriffs, Under-Sheriff, and Bailiff be discharged from any
further attendance in the House.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER said he would second the motion of
the Hon. Baronet.
Lord J. RUSSELL—If they are ordered to attend on Mon-
day that will be tantamount to their being discharged from
further attendance at present, but at present the motion before
the House was, that the Sheriffs be called in and asked if they
wished to state anything further. Did the Hon. Baronet ob-
ject to their be,ng called in?
Sir R. INGLIS had uniformly objected on all occasions to
the Sheriffs' being called in, but as the House had decided to have
the Bailiff called in and asked if he had anything further to
state, he could not .object, in justice to the Sheriffs, to the same
course being pursued with regard to them.
Sir EDWARD SUGDEN hoped his Hon. Friend (Sir R.
Inglis) would not now persevere in his motion for the imme-
diate discharge of the Sheriffs, as in that case he should be com-
pelled to divide against him, although perhaps he should not do
so if it were broucht forward at the proper time.
The SPEAKER understood the Hon. Baronet did not in-
tend to press his motion now.
Sir R. INGLIS —Not now.

EVENING EDITION.

POLITICAL SUMHARY

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Times of this morning, referring again to the Privilege
question, observes :—" To-morrow evening is to be discussed in
the House of Commons a Bill which we will say, if fatally
carried, will produce a greater change in the English Constitu-
tion, and more especially in the purer parts of it—the Courts of
Justice—than modern times, so given to change, have yet seen.
Privilege' is the heading of the Bill, and its title A Bill to
give Summary Protection to Persons employed in the Publica-
tion of Parliamentary Papers.' Its real title ought to be 6 A
Bill for shutting up Courts of Justice against persons injured or
aggrieved by libel contained in the publications of the House
of Commons, and sold by the Printers of the House.' "—The
Morning Chronicle thus alludes to the public dinner given to
Mr. Byng yesterday :—" The honour paid to a public servant
in the evening of his days is of the most beneficial tendency,
and serves to counteract the feeling of despondency which is
but too apt to take possession of men when they find their best
endeavours misconstrued, and the worst motives attributed to
them, by showing that a long life spent in doing good proves at
last an over match for envy and detraction, and that though
justice may be refused for a time,it will not always be withheld. "
TheMorningildverliserobserves,in reference to the public dinner
given yesterday at Drury-lane Theatre to Mr. Byng Yes-
terday was a day which will not only constitute an era in Mr.
Byng's existence, whatever may be the peried to which the
lion. Gentleman's life may extend, but which will be for ever
memorable in the history of the country. Never has it been
our fortune to witness a more imposing or striking display of
public feeling in favour of a representative of the people, than
that which was last night exhibited within the walls of Drury-
lane Theatre in favour of Mr. Byng."

ASSIZE IN

-HOME CIRCUIT.—MAInsroxE, IVEDNX3D4 T.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice LITMEDALE.)
COINING.—James Jones, alias Wilson, and Susannah
Poland, alias Plater, were indicted for coining, and, being
found guilty, were sentenced to twelve months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
ARSON.—John Bignall, alias Ranger, who was brought
up for trial from St. Augustine's Gaol, Canterbury, was
indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting, fire to a
certain barn and outhouses, whereby property to the
amount of upwards of 8001. was destroyed.
Mr. Sergeant Snag and Mr. DUNDAS were for the pro-
secution.

Mr. James I3uddle deposed that he is a farmer at„.Eastry,
in this county. He remembered well the 7th of Septem-
ber last. On that day. and for a considerable time before,
the prisoner had been in his service, and he gave him per-
mission toalcep in one of his barns. The barn in question
was a large barn, and at the time of the file it contained a
quantity of wheat, some of which was cleaned, and some
was not. On the day of the fire the prisoner had been at
work in this barn, and he was to have left his service on that
evening, but he had permission to sleep there if he pleased.
He parted with the prisoner about seven o'clock in the even-
ing, and at eight he was alarmed by a cry of " fire," and on
going out he saw that the barn was in flames, and they had ob•
tamed such power that all attempts to subdue them were
unavailing, and the barn in which the fire broke out, another
smaller one, a waggon-house, a piggery, End granary were
completely destroyed. He had at one time paid the pri-
soner two shillings a day wages, but he afterwards re-
duced them to eighteenpenee, and the prisoner said he
would not work for that sum. The prisoner did not come
near, or render any assistance to put out the fire.
John Bailey, -a labourer, in the employ of prosecutor,
deposed that on the day of the fire the prisoner told him
that he was going away, and he should not sleep in the
house that night, for fear he should over-lic himself, as he
wished to get away early in the morning, and witness con-
sented to allow him to sleep in the kitchen of his house.
The prisoner then said that he had got some food and
come clothes in the barn, and he should go and fetch
them, and he mutt away, and returned in a short time with
some bread and a bundle. The alarm of fire was given in
less than five minutes after the prisoner returned from the
barn.

Kezubs Bailey, wife to the last witness, deposed that
after the fire she had some conversation with the prisoner,
and he said he was sure that he did not do it, and if he did
he wished he might never enter the kingdom of heaven,
which he was sure to do when he died.

GIVING POSSESSION OF DESERTED TENEMENTS.—
A gentleman, who said he was a solicitor, applied yes-
terday to Mr. Hull to assist him in obtaining posses-
sion of certain tenements which have been deserted
by the tenant upwards of six months, as he understood
that a power had been given to the Magistrates at the
different Police Courts, under the provisions of a late
Act of Parliament, to put the landlord in possession,
upon his showing that six months' rent was due, and
that the premises had been deserted during that period.
Mr. HALL said it would be necessary to have the
entire of the case proved to his satisfaction to enable
him to interfere ; he was aware that under the Act
of George 11. and the 7th George 111., County Ma-
gistrates were granted the power, upon a statement
being made by the landlord or the receiver of pre-
mises, that six months' rent was owing, to give
possession forthwith, but by the late Act (2d and 4th
Vic. chap. 84) Magistrates attached to police courts
were prevented leaving the Court, and the course for
them to pursue was, to direct an officer to inspect the
premises, and if the circumstances turned out as repre-
sented by the person making the application, to give
possession, which could not. be done unless upon the oath
of some disinterested person, and not by a mete written
statement, as was formerly the case, that the person
to whom the premises ha] been let owed six months'
rent, and had entirely deserted aim.
The applicant observed that it would be very difficult
for him to prove by another person that six months' rent
was due, although he could easily get a person to show
that from Midsummer last the premises had been de-
serted.
Mr. HALL said that would not be sufficient, unless
he also proved that full six months' rent was owing.
The applicant inquired if Police Magistrates had
riot still the power they were vested with under the
old Act.
Mr. HALL said they certainly had the same power as
t hey had before the recent Act was passed, by affixiag
the usual notice upon th premises.

The applicant said that there was
lty
in obtaining the attendance of county Magistrates. to
act iii such cases, and his impression ,
Magistrates, who were always to be found, had the
power.
Mr. HALL said that unless it could be proved in a
satisfactory manner by some disinterested witness that

suci) r rit c::, due, th::, rink eoti,•:? to he '?'"ucl ~

possession, as they had the power under the old Act.
