EXAMINATION OF CAPT. lIAII-1 THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.
VEY TIJCKETT, FOR SHOOTING AT THE
EARL OF CARDIGAN.-(THIS DAY.

The following Order in Council appeared in he
Gazctle of last evening :
At the Court at Claremont, the 3d day of Oc-
tober, 1840, present, the Queen's Most Excellent Ma-
jesty in Council. Whereas by an Act of Parliament,
passed in the fourth year of her Majesty's reign,
intituled " An Act for better defining the powers of
justices within the Metropolita❑ Police District," it was,
amongst other things, enacted that it should he lawful to
her Majesty, with the advice of her Privy Council, from
time to time, to constitute within the Metropolitan Police
District, so many police-court divisions as to her Majesty
should seem fit, and to define the extent 'thereof ; and,
from time to time, to alter the number and extent of
such police-court divisions, and to assign a division to
each of the police-courts already established, and to
establish a police•court for each of the other divisions ;
and that it should be lawful for her Majesty, if she
should think fit, with the advice of her Privy Council,
to order that a police magistrate or magistrates should
attend regularly at any police-court or courts thereafter
to be established, either daily or on such days and times
as her Majesty, by the advice aforesaid, should order.
Her Majesty is pleased, with the advice of her Privy
Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered accordingly,
that the parishes of Greenwich ; Saint Nicholas, Dept-
ford ; that part of St. Paul's, Deptford, which is within
the county of Kent ; Lewisham and Lea, in the county
of Kent ; Rotherhithe ; that part of St. Paul's, Dept-
ford, which is within the cour.ty of Surrey ; and the Ham-
let of Hatcham, in the county of Surrey ; shall hence-
forth be constituted a police court division ; and that a
police court shall be established for such division, to be
holden at Greenwich, in the county of Kent ; and that
the parishes of Plumstead, Woolwich, Charlton, Eltham,
the Liberty of Kidbrooke, and the Hamlet of Motting-
, ham, in the county of Kent, shall, from henceforth, be
constituted a police-court division ; and that a police-
court for such division shall be holden at Woolwich, in
the County of Kent.
And her Majesty is further pleased, with the advice
aforesaid, to order, and it is hereby ordered accordingly,
that the Magistrates to be appointed for these divisions
shall attend at the said Courts on alternate days, at
Greenwich and Woolwich, excepting Sundays, Christ-
mas•day, Good Friday, or any other appointed for a
public fast or thanksgiving ; and likewise except on
Mondays and Saturdays. on which last-mentioned days
a Magistrate shall attend at each of the said Courts ;
and that on all days of attendance the Magistrates shall
sit from ten of the clock in the morning, until three of
the clock in the afternoon, and longer, if necessary, for
the dispatch of business.
And the Most Noble the Marquis of Normanby, one
of her Majesty's Principal Secretor:es of State, is to
give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

The Magistrates of the 'Wandsworth Court held a
special session this morning, for the purpose of enter-
iog into the above examination. The Mag-iNirat.:s pre-
sent were Messrs. Nottidge, Bainbridge, Wilson, and
Capt.. Page.
Soon alter eleven o'clock Capt. Tuekett, accompanied
by Sir James Anderson, and two other gentlemen, en-
tered the justice-room, and Inspector Busain took him,
farmally, into custody, upon the charge of shooting at
James Thomas Earl of Cardigan, with intent to mur-
der him, and a charge to this effect was entered upon ,
the police-sheet.
Tne former evidence was then read over, but as the
circumstances have been given very full, it will be unne-
cessary to repeat it.
Captain Page, on being informed that there was no
further evidence, said that from what had been ttated
by Lord Cardigan in reference to his pistols not being
rifled rind hair triggers, he had thought fit to summon
Mr. Parker, the gun-smith of the police force, to give
e%iilence respecting them.
The other Magistrates thought the evidence unne-
cessary as the case stood before them ; they had nothing
to do with the character of the pistols.
Captain Page thought it was very important. In
these matters it was important to see that the weapons
were equal. A direct assertion had been made by Lord
Cardigan, and he thought evidence should be gone into
in referanee to that assertion.
The other Magistrates disagreed with Captain Page,
and said that whether one pistol was a foot longer or
shorter than the other did not at all signify. To support
the charge of felony it was only necessary that a pistol
of any kind should be discharged.
Captain Page—l have expressed my opinion, and if
the Magistrates do not agree with me I shall have
nothing more to do with the ease.
Captain Tuckett here interfered, and said that he
hoped the Bench would permit him to say that he felt
conscious Lord Cardigan was quite incapable of using
an unfair weapon, or taking an unfair advantage.
Captain Page—That may be your opinion, Captain
Tuckett ; but we must look to the facts.
The other Magistrates having decided not to go into
this evidence, Captain Page got up from his seat and
retired.

Mr. Nottidge then asked Captain Tuckett whether
he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, at
the sit.ne time cautioning him that what he said would
be taken down in writing and used against him.
Capt. Tuckett said he should say nothing ut present.
He was then fully committed for trial on the charge

of felony.
The Chairman said that of course Captain Tuckett
would be admitted to bail, and they should require him
to enter into his own recognizance in 1,0001, and two
sureties in 500/. each.

C. C. GREVILLE.

At the Court at St. James's, the 3d day of January,
1840—present, the Queen's most excellent Majesty in
Council. Whereas by an Act, passed in the tenth year
of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Fourth,

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, OCT. 12.
NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The usual weekly meeting. of this body took place
to-day at the Corn Exchange. Mr. O'Connell, on er.-
tering the room, was received with enthusiastic cheers.
" You see, said the Hon. and Learned Gentleman.
" that the Lord• L;eutenant has not yet been able to
frighten me."—(Cheers.)
Mr. F. Morgan having been called to the chair,
Mr. O'CONNELL handed in 601. 45., the subscrip-

tions of 1,204 of the tradesmen of Limerick. Limerick
had given a proof of the most triumphant progress of
repeal. He had been met on his, approach to that city
by at least 60,000 people, who testified their z,ml in the
most enthusiastic manner in the cause of Ireland and
repeal. Som persons better acquainted with the fact
than he was assured him that the number exceeded
100,300. But, taking it at 60,000, it presented one of
the finest specimens of ardent patriotism, and perfect
determination and propriety of manner. He had been
met on seven or eight occas►ons before by the Limerick
trades, when he was sorry to say they were not quite
tree from the effects of intoxicating drinks. But on this
occasion they were every one teetotallers.—(Cheers.)
Father Matthew had no less than 2,500,000 disciples,
and he (Mr. O'Connell) was amongst the number him-
self.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
then moved the admission of the Rev. Mr. Kelly, a
Roman Catholic clergyman, and of a Miss Dillon, the
daughter of a woollendraper in this city, noted for sel-
lin.* goods of Irish manufacture. On the motion
of 'Mr. O'Connell, this young lady was admitted
by acclamation. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
then proceeded at great length to address the meeting.
He began by censuring Lord Ebrington for withdraw-
lug the patronage of the Irish Government from Mr.
Dillon and his son, simply because they had become
members of the Repeal Association. This conduct on
the part of the Government towards, Mr. Dillon, was
one of the vilest things he had ever heard of. Mr.
O'Connell then adverted to the anti-repeal speech of his

Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in terms strongly con-
demuatory of Lord Ebrington. Ho was not, neverthe-
less, for quarrelling with the present Administration.
He wished them to keep between him and the Tories as
lon as he possibly could ; at the same time he could
not help speaking his sentiments as a free man, and
wit), thezel of an Irishman; respecting everything that
ifsfkotoa:che,hOnciUr and 'tlitnity of :the, country. The

,J).sociation,'Ond Ith''sPeenches delivered • at- the
'hate " :diodes.' 'to ritawdon,' in Armagh. The
speakers at' that dinner,' including LOrd Charlemont,
were most enthusiastic in their ealogiems' upon the
Irish ' volunteers, yet the' Repeal Association had
precise), the same objects as the volunteers had
been struggling for under more auspicious circum-
stances. But the Ulster Association, notwithstand- I
ing all that the public were led to expect, had been
doing literally nothing. Mr. Sharman Crawford
had proposed rules and regulations, committees both
great and small, and he had announced that they
were to attend to the registries. But in the way of
practical good they had done nothing whatever ; and he
believed he might assert that, although the approaching
sessions would be the last for re-registering the electors
of 1832, they had not served a single registry notice for
those sessions. This reminded him of the story of an
ingenious fellow, who boasted that, after three weeks'
labour, he had succeeded in making a machine with
which he had been enabled to catch a flea.—(Loud
laughter.) Now, the Ulster Association had, after all
their propositions, merely caught their flea.—(Continued
laughter.) Mr. O'Connell dwelt at much length on
th.s subject, observing that he blamed the Ulster Asso-
ciation for devoting themselves to forms, instead of
practically promoting the registry of Liberal electors.
He proposed three resolutions, to the effect that the
portrait of the Earl of Charlemont in his uniform of a
General of the Irish Volunteers, should be procured
for the Association ; that " The Volunteers March" be
adopted as the charter tune of the Association ; and
that an address of confidence, &c., be voted to the pre-
spnt Earl of Charlemont, expressive at the same time
of the gratitude and veneration in which his father the
late Earl is held by " the universal Irish nation."

CORN-LAWS.—A Correspondent, who writes from
Yarmouth, says—" The argument taken up by your
paper against the landlords, as causing the high price
of bread, I think unjust towards landlords. For the
very objection you make against them at the same time
admits the money is spent in the country, thereby giv-
ing life and activity to the different tradesmen amongst
whom it is spent. If landlords had only the income
you think they would be justly entitled to, depend upon
it the home markets would be in a still more languish-
ing state, and throughout the country there would be
great complaints of dullness. Besides, when bread
corn is very cheap the labourers' wages fall in propor-
tion, and they have not so much money to expend in
groceries, and other articles of life, equally necessary,
and do not fall with the price of corn." Our Corres-
pondent, like a number of other people, confounds
money with produce. If landlords had only their
just income—that is, an income not enhanced
by taxation, and the same quantity of corn was
produced as now, there would be as much money cir-
culated as now, and as much life as now. Though the
landlords would spend less, some other classes would
spend more. The more food and clothing there is
annually produced, the better will all classes be off,
though there should not be a landowner in the country.
The Corn-laws limit production, stop the increase
of manu!actures, and contract the supply of food in
order to enrich the landlords. Whether they effect
that or not, they impoverish the nation, and impoverish
the other classes. Our Correspondent is completely
mistaken when he supposes that, to take away the
property of the masses by a tax on bread, to put that
into the pockets of the landowners, adds to the national
wealth.
MAIISLAUGHTER.—Ott Monday last, and, by

THE LATE 8001. ROBBERY.—It will be re-
membered that at the last sessions of the Central Criminal
Court, two men named Bugler and Bathgate were tried for
the offence of having been concerned in stealing a 3001.
Bank of England note, the property of Mr. Martin, Upper
Seymour-street, Portman-square, and that after a long
trial they were convicted and transported for ten years.
Inspector Penny, of the G division, who got up the case,
brought up on Monday a third person named George Mason,
who turns out to be the identical man by whom the 3001.
note was changed, and who endorsed it "J, Batten, New.
bury." lie was remanded till Friday.
THE FELLAIIS OF EGYPT.--Generally speak-
ing, amongst the Arabs there is the greatest inattention
to the business on which they are engaged. A man who
strikes a blow with a hammer seldom looks to where the
instrument falls. A carpenter, with a chisel or a plane,
takes no truble to watch what his tool is doing. There
is little regard to lines or angles. If a nail is driven, no
trouble is taken to ascertain whether it is too large or too
small for the purposes proposed. Nothing is made to fit.
There is no adaptation of means to ends ; everything is
out of place ; and it perpetually happens that articles are
bought or manufactured of which there is a large supply
in she magazines, if any body knew where to look to
them. But this state of things is not peculiar to Egypt
it pervades the East.

TIIE NAVY.—Yesterday morning placards were
posted up in varioas parts of Tower-hill for petty officers
and able-bodied seamen, to join her Majesty's ship Cam-
perdown (lately attempted to be fired), now fitting out at
