EVENING EDITION

the discrepancy between the vote now proposed
and the amount of the standing demands had
(
arisen. He was surprised that neither the Secretary
for the Treasury, nor the Secretary to the Admira'ty were
present, who could perhaps better give an answer to a
question of detail than the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. L ABOUC HERE thought that in a question purely
relatirg to tile naval accounts, and net to the question of
general expenditure, it was very extraordinary thatit should
be made matter of grave accusation against the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer. He thought his Right Hon. Friend
had a right to he annoyed at the matter.
Colonel SIBTHORP complained a the manner in
which the public accounts were kept, and of the absence
of tic Members of the Government who could answer the
important questions asked on that side of the Houses
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-
gretted that the time of the House had teen waste in
such a discussion. He should have had no objet on
whatever to answer the question had he been prepared.
The House then resumed, and the Chairman reported
progress.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Our letters from Paris, dated Wednesday evening, state
that M. l'Epinay, who is attached to the foreign depart-
ment, had left for London with despatches fur Baron de
Bourqueney, the French Charge d'Affairw. It was be-
lieved that there despatches were the result of late con-
ferences betneen M. Guizot and the Ambassadors of the
Powers who s gned the Treaty of London. It is said that
M. de Bourqueney has been charged to announce verbally
to Lord Palmerston the peremptory refusal of the French
Cabinet to sign the last London protocol until the Porto
has granted to Mehemet Ali the hereditary Government
of Egypt in the direct line. It is however added that
Baron de Bourqueney is charged to express to the Bri-
tish 111;tristry that France expects from the wisdom of the
Four Po%,ers to see all obstacles quickly removed, in or-
der that she may abandon her isolation.
It is not true that M. Guizot has iemanded the recal
of Lord Ponsouby as it has been asserted; but we relieve
that Austfa will make, or has made, some iepreseutations
as to the conduct of the British Antbassadtr at Couktanti-
nople.—Morning Post.

having looked over the depositions ho was of opinion that
the evidence would net support the serious charge im

touted to the prisoners. There appeared from the evi-
dence of the medlcvl gentlemen to be very considerable
doubt as to the actual cause of death, and it could not be
distinctly shown whether it arose from a blow or a fall,
and as that was the case he felt it his duty to withdraw
from the charge of\manslaughtcr, although he apprehended
that the prisoners must be convicted of an assault.
Mr. BODKIN said that, on behalf of the prisoners, he
must declare his conviction, that he could not strugg 1

Court, they would at onco plead Guilty to that charge.

and from his evidence it appeared, that in the month of
December last, the deceased was walking along with him,

others, and he observed one of the prisoners holding the

LONDON:
SATURDAY, MARCII 20, 1641.

Last night the Earl of ABERDEEN, on present-
ing a petition, brought the Constitution of the
colony of Newfoundland under the notice of the
Peers. The House of Assembly was so consti-
tuted, he said, that it could discharge no legisla-
tive functions. It consisted of fifteen members,
one of whom was a servant. Such an Assembly
was a burlesque and a burden. The Governor
had quarrelled with it, and had stigmatised the
proceedings of the Assembly by a proclamation.
The prayer of the petition was for a reform—not
in the Liberal sense—of the present system of
representation, and for protection to the voters.
Our readers know that religious discord, fos-
tered by the polemics of England, has takenhold
of the colony, and an immense number of com-
plaints are made, because the Catholics are most
numerous and most influential,
The Marquis of NORMANDY said that the Go-
vernor had called the attention of the House of
Assembly to the state of the representation, and
as the Session was not yet entled,_it would not be
proper for Parliament to interfere. The petition
was laid on the table.
Their Lordships then renewed their investiga-
tion into the pigeon-holes of the Irish Poor-law
Commissioners, and were engaged in it till a few
minutes before eight o'clock, when they adjourned
to Monday.
Sir GEORGE CLERK, in the Commons, rather
took the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER aback
by asking him whedier, as there was deficiency
in the Navy supplies of 400,0001., he meant to
make any provision", to meet it ? The CHANCEL-.
Lott of the EXCHEQUER, not having had notice
of the question, was unprepared to answer, and
no information was elicited.
In a Committee on the Australian Act,
155,C03/. was voted out of the Consolidated Fund
to relieve the distress in Australia.
Sir Wm. MOLESWORTH wi
she, d to vote a sup-
plemental sum, but his wishes were not gratified.
On the motion for the House to go into Com-
mittee on the Poor-law Commission Continu-
ance Bill,

Mr. WAKLEY moved that it be an instruction
to the Committee that the 13ill be divided into
two parts. The Hon. Member in the course of
his speech made a severe attack on the Reformed
House of Commons for having passed the law,
which he declared no former Parliament would
have done. Of course he did not spare the Poor-
law and the Commissioners.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL seemed to be much an-
noyed. by Mr. WAKLEY'S speech, and indulged
in personal allusions in a manner quite un-
usual for the Noble Lord. In reply to the
Honourable Member's observations on the Re-
!NMI' 'l

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Chronicle of this day, alluding to Mr. Walt.-
ley's speech in the House of Commons last night, says :--
" The Hon. Member for Finsbury would invest overseers of
the poor and guardians with discretionary powers, with which-
no set of men ought to be trusted, and which would erect an
inquisition in every parish. The object of a Poor-law is not
to reward merit, but to relieve. The law says, all who are in
destitution shal receive food, and shelter, and clothing ; were
it to endeavour to do more, it would fail, and only add to the
distress it sought to prevent." The Times, reverting again to
the Poor-law question, observes :—" Lord J. Russell and his
allies will understand by this time what prospect they have of
silencing the opposition of the country to their favourite mea-
sure. Even if they carry through the present Bill, and re-
ceive from the hands of Sir R. Peel a five years' renewal of
their lease of power, they can hard)) flatter themselves that
they will be left in calm and peaceful possession for that
period. On this point they shall have no peace." The Morn-
ing Post remarks, in allusion to M‘Leod's case :—" We ven-
ture to say that the sense and honour of our country are, with-
out doubt or hesitation, opposed to America in this matter,
and resolved to enforce what is right. Since the United
States have become a nation, nothing has occurred so produc-
tive in this country of contempt for her Government, as the
proceedings towards Mr. Mq.eod." The Morning Herald
thus comments on Mr. Wakley's attack last night in the House
of Commons on the Reformed Parliament :—" By a strange
identity of fortune, the New Poor-law, and the Reform Bill,
the longer they are permitted to exist, the more thoroughly
they are known, are the more decidedly scouted, distrusted,
and dishonoured."

BOTTOMLESS LAKE.—The following is the
first notice we have ever met wish of a very remarkable
pond, in Saratoga county, New York. If the account,
which is taken from the Troy Mail, be true, it discloses a
curious natural phenomenon :—" White Lake is situated
about ono mile west of the Paulius Kill, in the teen of
Stillwater. It is nearly circular. It has no visible inlet,
but its outlet is a never-failieg stream of considerable meg.
nitude. The name is derivrd from its appearance. Viewed
from a little distance it seems of milky whiteness, except a
few rods in the centre, which, by the contrast, appear
perfectly, black. The appearar cc itself is singular
enough, but the cause itself is still more remarkable.
From the centre or dark portion of the lake,
at stated scosons, innumerable quantities of shells are
thrown up of various sizes and forms, but all perfcc.ly
white. These float to the shore, and aro thrown upon
the beach, or sink into shallow water. Hundreds of
bushels migLt be gathered from the shore after one
of the:c periodic:l upsprings ; and the whole soil
for saveral rods on every side of the lake is composed of
those shell., broken or decomposed by the action of the
weather. In the centre of the lake, bottom has
never bceo Lund, although it has been sounded to the
depth r f several hundred feet. Where, then, is the grand
deposit from which has teen swelling up since the memory
of man these countless myriads of untenanted shells ?
Is it possible, tact, though far remote at an elevation of
several hundred feet above them, this bottomless well may,
by some subterranean communication, be connected with
the grand shell marl ccposit in the eastern part of the
State?"—Montreal Courier. —Query. Can this story be
depended upon, or is it a specimen of American penny-a-
lining Ilfercuri.

SACRED HARMONIC ',SOCIETY.

Last evening the new oratorio, by Mr.
George Perry, entitled " The Death of Abel,"
was performed for the first time at Exeter Hall.
Some days ago we gave a favourable account of
the rehearsal, and were glad to find, on witness-
ing the full performance, that it justifies our ex-
pectations. The title sufficiently explains the
principal features of the oratorio. Mr. Phillips
represented Adam, Mr. Hobbs, Abel, Mr. Pear-
sall, Cain, and Miss Ward, Eve, who, though she
performed the most remarkable part of
any of her sex in the history of the
world, is all but kept out of view through
the whole performance. Her representative
appeared only twice, and as that appearance was
in a chorus, we cannot form any correct idea
what her sentiments might have been respecting
the vast change which she had produced in the
destinies of mankind. Mr. Phillips, to the de-
light of the audience, had some of the most im-
portant scenes in the piece allotted to him, and
acquitted himself with his usual ability and
skill. He was in excellent voice, and seemed to
delight in the character which he had to repre-
sent. He was encored thrice, and most enthu-
siastically in the following air:—
Oh, Cain, I well desctve to to des' ised
. _ _

But sboulii'st thou not have spared tiiy wretched father ?
Should'st thou not have forborne this cruel charge,
Which, like a clap of thunder, shakes my soul."
He was also extremely successful in the air,
" Father Omnipotent," and in the chorus with
_ _

the same title, in which Miss Ward ably sup-
ported him. In the air, "0, Cain," Mr. Lind-
ley accompanied Mr. Phillips on the violoncello
obliaato, and shared more than half the praise
of the audience, but not more than he was fully
entitled to. The orchestra was numerous, con-
sisting of nearly five hundred performers, and
kept time wonderfully, considering the vast body
of vocal and instrumental performers. The
oratorio, on the whole, is very creditable
to the composer. Some of the parts may appear
common-place, but many of them are of
a superior cast, especially the airs of a plaintive
character, and the chorus at the conclusion of
the first part. The large hall, in which the per-
formance took place, was crowded to excess.
Probably not fewer than three thousand persons,
independent of the performers, were present, and
all seemed highly gratified with the result. We
cannot say much for the poetry of the piece.
It wants the beauty and magnificence of the
words of the Messiah, which give such an effect
to that celebrated composition, but every allow-
ance, of course, must be made for the descrip-
tions of scenes of which we know little.

MANCHESTER ANTI-CORN-LA W

MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Manchester, Friday, March 19.
Sir,—The meeting which has taken place here
to-day upon the subject of the Corn-law has been
demonstrative of the growing intelligence of the
public mind, and particularly the working classes,
upon the question. Notwithstanding a very em-
barrassing circumstance, which I will describe
to you, the meeting was the most decided in its
condemnation of the Corn-law ever held here.
A few days ago the Mayor was applied to by a
respectable body of requisitionists to call a town-
meeting, to consider the propriety of petitioning
against the Poor-law, which he refused to com-
ply with, and the consequence was, a very great
excitement in the town ; and the working classes,
backed by the tail end of the Tory party, deter-
mined to hiss him down at the first meeting he
should attempt to hold.

On assembling at the Town-halho-day, it was
evident this threat would be put into execution;
and no sooner had the hour appointed for the
meeting arrived, than Nightingale, one of the
notorious Chartist leaders, moved the Rev. Mr.
Scholefield into the chair. He did not, however,
venture to take the Mayor's seat, who arrived
shortly after, and told the meeting he should pre-
side as a matter of right and duty.
Upon this Mr. Seholefield took his seat at the
foot of the Mayor's chair, and the latter allowed
him to go through the mummery of calling
order, &c. I mention these facts because they
will be misrepresented.
The usual diversion in defence of the landlords
was made by the Chartist leaders, and one of
these, a conceited young man, named M'llouall,
boldly declared that the Chartists had decided
that no public meeting should be held upon any
other question until the Charter was obtained.
But when it came to the vote there were five
hands to one held up against the Chartists.
Upon this the Rev. Mr. gholefield declared his
party to be in the majority, and he and his lead-
ing functionary left the Hall, which is not a very
usual course with such gentry when they have
the majority.
The rest of the proceedings went off in dumb
show, as there was a tail of the Chartists, proba-
bly not more than five per cent. of the whole
meeting, who kept up a clamour against the
speakers.

I send you these hasty facts, as I doubt not
you wiil be interested in the subject.
Yours, very respectfully,
AN ANTI-BREAD TAXER.
I forgot to say that the whole town was pla-
carded by some parties, calling upon the work-
ing men to come and upset the meeting, on
account of the conduct of the Mayor upon the
Poor-law question.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Two very small boys, named John Thomas and Wm. Stones,
were brought up for stealing a piece of mutton from a butcher's
shop in Barbican.

A metropolitan policeman, in whose custody the prisoners
were, said that he saw them as he was passing up Aldgate-
street, and watched them into Barbican, when he heard
Thomas say "Do you know how to do it ?" and Stones re-
plied yes; and the latter walked over to the shop, and covering
a piece of meat with a handkerchief, took it up and walked
away. When search,d at the station house, a jar of the best
description of pickles was found in Thomas's pocket.
The ALDERMAN observed that the young gentlemen must
be epicures indeed; meat would not suffice them without
pickles and preserves.
Scolefield, the gaoler, said that Stones had been frequently
in custody before.
Mr. Alderman Woon asked Stones with what offence he
had been previously charged ? Stones—Please your Worship,
looking into" a doctor's shop.
The worthy Alderman, after observing that they were both
in a fair way for seeking the Antipodes at her Majesty's ex-
pense, sentenced them to three months' imprisonment.

The policeman into whose custody he was given stated

ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

CHADWICK V. BROADWOOD.
This case came before the Court upon a plea. The argu-
ments were purely technical. The Court overruled the plea.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. RANDLE.
In this case a gentleman, of the name of Lloyd, in the year
1677, left certain lands in the parish of Gresford, in Donbigh-
,hire, to the Churchwardens, for the benefit of the poor of the
parish, but the rents ari,ing from the lands had been applied to
the relief of the poor-rates. A declaration was therefore sought
from the Court that the poor were entitled to the benefit of
the whole of the rents.

No opposition was offered to the relief sought. and a de,
claration to that effect was therefore made, and the usual in.
quirit s directed.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. V. ILES.
The object of this information was to have the charity esta-
:ilished for the maintenance of the church of the parish of
Brinbrook, in the county of Lincoln. The origin of the
charity could not be discovered, but it appeared that from
time out of mind, an estate of about fifty-three acres of
land in the above parish, had been vested in the
pari-li officers, and the earliest entry that could be found
relating to it was in the year 1756, in which
the property in question was called " the Church land." The
rent of the land was now very considerable. It appeared,
:iowever, that in consequence of the income being more than
sufficient for the repairs of the church, a great portion of it
had been applied to other purposes, were beneficial to the
rate-payers, and so slight was the maintenance which was
iffurded to the parish church, that the church actually fell
down ! The parish officer then applied the whole of the revc-
tare arising from the land to the poor-rates, there being no
church in the parish to uphold. The information was
therefore filed for the purpose of obtaining a declaration from
the Court that the income was alone applicable to the mainte-
nance and support of the parish church.
A declaration to that effect was made, and the income was
ordered to be accumulated until a sufficient fund should be
formed to carry out the intention of the testator.
