EAST INDIA HOUSE.
A special general court of the East India Company
was held yest.rday morning at their House, Leadenhall-
street for the purpose of taking into consideration the ac-
knowledgment returned by the Board of Commissioners
for the Affairs of India to the resolution passed by the
SpecialG,neral Court of Proprietors, held on the 25th

larch last.
11.- nry St. George Tucker in the chair.
The minutes of the previous Court having been read
and confirmed, the correspondence and resolutions relat-
ing to the subj'ct for which the meeting had been con-
ven, d having been read,
Mr. LEWIS, one of the gentleman who signed the re-
quisition calling the Directors to convene the meeting,
then detailed the proceedings which had taken place at a
former Court, when it was resolved to call upon the
Board of Control to produce certain papers relating to
the Raja of Sattara• That resolution was communicated
to the Board of Commissioners for the affairs of India ;
but it was quite clear from the correspondence
which bad taken place with the President of
the Board of Control, that the production of
these papers was to be refused. Now he would not
comment upon the indignity with which the Board of
Control had thus treated this honourable society, but
he could not but regret that any splenetic feelings on the
part of the President of that Board should have led to
the non-production of the papers in question. There
Fonid be no doubt whatever of the inexpediency, the

_
injustice, or the impropriety of refusing the papers.
The resolution calling for their production was passed
upon a statement made by an Honourable Proprietor, to
the effect that her Majesty's Government had made cer-
tain overtures to the Raja of Sattara, and he should have
thought the Board of Control would have felt it due to
its own character to supply this society with the infor-
mation called fer under such circumstances. Every per-
son present must admit the impolicy of the refusal, be-
cause independently of its inflicting injustice upon a
private individual, it was unconstitutional, if not wholly
illegal. No doubt the functions of the Board of Con-
trol were to keep secret the documents which came into
their hands during such time when secrecy was re-
quired, but when the necessity for secrecy has been
got rid of it was unjust, illegal, and unconstitutional,
for the Secret Committee to withhold information from
the Court of East India Directors, who were the admi-
nistrative body of the affairs of India, and had a right to
insist upon the production of these papers. It was in-
flicting an atrocious injustice on the Raja of Sattara to
keep back these documents. They related to an offer
that had been made to the Raja of Sattara by the agent
of the Governor-General, inconsistent with the charges
which had been preferred against the Raja of Sattara,
and it was therefore incumbent upon that Court, having
a due regard for its character for honesty and justice,
not to rest satisfied with the refusal which the Board of
Control had conveyed to them. A grievous wrong had
been done to the Raja of Sattara, and justice could not
be secured to that individual without inquiry. No cir-
cumstance more showed the necessity for such an
inquiry than the refusal to produce those documents.
Colonel Bagnell, who was a distinguished commander in
their own service, in a letter written to a friend in this
country, declared that it was the opinion of almost every
person connected with the 23,1 regiment, that there was
❑o truth in the charges which had been made
against the Raja of Sattara, and these papers ought to
be produced. He should therefore move, " That
considering that the correspondence adverted to in this
Court's resolution of the 25th of March last arose in con-

sequence of a statement publicly made in this Court,
and in order that the Court of Directors and Proprietors
might be informed of the truth or falsehood of such
statement, this Court is of opinion that such corre-
spondence ought not to have been imported into the
Secret Committee. That the retention of such corre-
spondence in the secret department, for a period of
nearly fourteen months, without any alleged injury to
the public service, is impolitic and unconstitutional.
That the non-production of correspondence which may,
as in the present instance, affect the judgment of the
members of this Court in regard to the innocence of the
ex-R ija of Sattara, is repugnant to the first principles of
justice, and calls upon this Court to declare its convic-
tion of the necessity of an immediate inquiry into all
the proceedings connected with this case.
Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the resolution. Truth, he
said, never could be cancelled, and if there was any
truth in the charges made against the Raja of Sattara,
what objection could there be to the production of these
papers. The ends of justice required the production of
the papers, and the only question was, had that Court
the power to call for them. lie entertained no doubt
that it had; and, in his opinion, the refusal was diame-
trically opposed to their rights and privileges, and could
not be sustained. If, therefore, the Beard of Control
persisted in its refusal, he should recommend the Court
to petition Parliament for its abolition. The production
of the paper could not, by any possibility, injure the pub-
lie service, and he contended that, the Board of Control,
had no right to refuse them. Gross injustice had been
lone to the Raja of Sattara. He had been dethroned,
degraded, and banished, without hearing his defence.
A promise that he should be furnished with a copy of
the evidence against him, in his own language, was
flagrantly broken ; while, on the one hand, when
anything could be found to tell against him,
it was readily produced ; on the other, when-
ever anything in his favour was called for it had
always been refused. This Court could not, therefore,
with any regard for its character, tolerate this refusal,
and he called upon the Court to adopt the resolutions
which had been submitted to them, in order that they
might be in a position to perform the functions which
the Legislature had imposed upon them.
Mr. WEEDING opposed the resolutions, believing that
if the Board of Control had refused to produce the pa-
pers, they had done so from a sense of public duty.
Ile answer the Board of Control had returned to the
resolution of that Court was most courteous, and the
Court had no right to ask or expect more. It was
evident from the debates which had taken place in the
llouse of Commons, that Parliament was not favourable
to the production of these papers, and he could not do
otherwise than blame those proprietors who had brought
the Court into this dilemma, while ho applauded the reso-
'ution and determination of the Right Hon. Gentleman,
:he President of the Board of Control. lie moved, as
an amendment, that the Court do adjourn.
Mr. FIELDER seconded the amendment, because he
At convinced that if Government refused to produce
these papers, it was useless fur that Court to interfere
further.
Mr. GEORGE TEIOMPSON opposed the motion for ad-
jourrment. The Board of Directors had already sent
to India for information connected with a statement he
made at a former Court, without the consent of the Board
if Control. A reply had since been received from
India, and as it neither related to matters connected
with the levying of war and making of peace, it could
•tot legally be suppressed. These papers would actually
prove the innocence of the Raja of Sattara, and the
;neasure could never be left at rest till they were laid
nefore that Court. He had intended to move another
amendment, but as the motion for adjournment was
nefore the Court, he could not move it, and
therefore he would read it as part of his speech :
.. Whereas, by the Act of 3 and 4 Willian IV. cap. 85,
section 35, it is enacted, that the Court of Directors
i ,hall, from time to time, appoint a Secret Committee of
,hr, e Directors, for the particular purposes in this Act
specified ; and that the said Secret Committee shall
take an oath, of which the following words form part,
viz : ---,‘ I will not disclose or make known any of the
secret orders, instructions, dispatches, official letters or
communications, which shall be sent or given to
me by the Commissioners for the affairs of In-
dia, unless I shall be authorised by the said
Commissioners to disclose and make known the same.'
And whereas, the `particular purposes' above mentioned
are specifically declared in the 36th section of the same
Act, in the following words, viz.! ' Provided also, and be
it enacted, that if the said Board shall be of opinion,
that the subject matter of any of their deliberations
concerning the levying war, or the making peace, or
treating or negotiating with any of the native
princes or states in India, or with any other
princes or states, or touching the policy to be
observed with respect to such princes or state,
intended to be communicated in orders, dispatches,
official letters or communications, to any of the Govern-
ments or Presidencies in India, or to any officers or ser-
vants of the said Company, shall be of a nature to re-
quire secrecy, it shall and may be lawful for the said
Board to send their orders, dispatches, official letters, or
communications to the Secret Committee of the said
Court of Directors, to be appointed as is by this Act
directed.' Thereforeresolved--`That the papers relating
to the case of the Raja of Sattara, the communication of
which has beenrefused by the Board of Commissioners to a
resolution passed by the Court of Proprietors on the 25th
March, did not form the subject matter of any of the de-
liberations of that board, and were not sent or given by
the board to the Secret Committee of the Court of
Directors, but arose out of a letter, dated the 24th
March, 1846, which was written by the Secret Committee,
for the purpose declared in it, of obtaining information
for the Court of Directors, touching a matter which
had been the subject of public debate at the India
[louse. That the originating of such a letter by the
Secret Committee, irrespective of the Board of Control,
rind the witholding of the reply, when received, from the
knowledge of the Court of Directors, on the ground that
the Board of Commissioners refused to commnnicate the
same, was against law; a usurpation by the Secret Com-
mittee of the proper and peculiar functions of the Court
of Directors ; a concealment of papers to which the
Court of Proprietors livid an undoubted right; and a
denial of justice to the deposed Raja of Sattara.'"
Ile could not believe tha: the Secret Committee of that
house could not produce these papers without the con-
sent of the Board of Control, because such a power exer-
cised by the Board of Control would be illegal and un-
constitutional, and he would never cease to demand their
production.

Mr. J. W. HoGG contended that the rights and privi-
leges of that Court had not been invaded by the refusal
of the 139azd of cowl, because she power of decidin

what secret papers should or should not be produced,
was vested absolutely and entirely in that branch of her
Majesty's Government.
Sir JAMES LAW LTALIINGTON supported the motion
for adjournment.
Mr. SAVAGE was dccidedly of opinion that the Raja
of Sattara had been cruelly illtrcated, and he should
support the original motion.
Mr. HOLT MACKENZIE maintained that the papers
ought not to be withhcl,ifrom the Court or the public, with •
out the President of the Board of Control gave sufficient
reasons for their concealment. He had intended to move
" That by the general law and usage regulating the ad-
ministration of the affairs of India, it is required that all
important proceedings of the several Governments in
that country shall be regularly recorded, and that the
record of such proceedings shall, with the special excep-
tion of cases requiring secrecy, be communicated to the
Court of Directors. That in order to maintain that
principle, it is essential that no proceedings shall
originate with the Secret Committees unless the Bcard of
Commissioners shall be of opinion that there is one
requiring secrecy, and that no record of the proceedings
of any of the Indian Governments shall be retained in
the secret department unless the said Board represent ,d
by its president shall declare that to divulge the contents
thereof would be injurious to the public interests.
That the papers now required by this Court have been
withheld without any such declaration on the part of
the Board of Commissioners, and that, consequently, it
is the right and duty of this Court to adhere to and re-
iterate the resolution passed on the 25th of March last.
After some further discussion, in which Rungo
Bapojee, Mr. Twining, Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, and others,
took part,
Mr. LEWIS replied.
The Court then divided, when there appeared—

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—This morning, by the first
train from London, a Board of Admiralty, comprising
the Earl of Auckland, G.C.8., First Lord ; Vice-Admi-
ral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8.; Rear-Admiral J. W. D.
Dundas, C. 8., M.P.; and the Hon. W. F. Cowper, M.P.,
arrived on a visit to this port. Their Lordships were
met at the Gosport terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way by Sir Charles Ogle's Flag-Lieutenant, who con-
ducted them to the Clarence-yard through the Queen's
railway entrance, where. they were received by Mr.
Davies, Master-Attendant, and Mr. Grant, F.R.S.,
Storekeeper. Their Lordships immediately embarked
in the, Commander-in-Chief's barge and crossed over to
the king's stairs, where Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the

Hyde Parker, C. 8.; Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent;
Captain Dacres, of the Avenger ; Captain Chads, of the
Excellent; Mr. Brown, Master-Attendant; Mr. Bellamy,
Assistant ditto ; Mr. Fincham, Master Shipwright, and
other officers of the establishment, received them. Sir
Charles Ogle conducted their Lordships to his official
mansion, where he sumptuously entertained them at
breakfast, after which their Lordships made an inspec-
tion of the dockyard under the conduct of its superinten-
dent, proceeding to the new steam-basin, thence on
board the Arrogant, 46-gun screw frigate, built by Mr.
Fincham, who explained to their Lordships the various
matters of interest and improvement connected with
her construction (she is ready for launching). Thence,
in rotation, their Lordships proceeded on board the
Odin steam-frigate of 1,326 tons and 560-horse power,
also built by Mr. Fincham, whence they proceeded to
the Avenger steam-frigate, 1,444 tons, 650-horse power,
Captain S. C. Dacres, who conducted their Lordships
over his vessel, and succeeded in getting an order from
them to have his vessel fitted with a mizenmast, which
will considerably improve her appearance, having at
present only fore and mainmasts. From the
Avenger the party visited the Centaur steam-frigate, of
1,269 tons and 540 horse power, like the Avenger de-
signed by the surveyor; after inspecting which vessel
their Lordships, accompanied by Sir Charles Ogle, pro-
ceeded in the Myrtle steam tender to Spithead with their
flag flying, to make an inspection of that fine and
serviceable three-decker, the St. Vincent, 120, flag of
Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., M.P. Their
Lordships were received on the quarter-deck by Captain
Milne, and all the executive officers of the ship, and were
conducted over her; the admirable manner in which she
is rigged, stored, and prepared for any service, drawing
forth the highest encomiums from their Lordships, who
remained to luncheon; and after highly complimenting
Captain Milne and his officers, left at half-past three
o'clock, under a salute of 19 guns, and returned to
harbour, thence to London, by the 5.30 train. The
Viscount Templetown also breakfasted with Sir Charles
Ogle, and accompanied the Lords of the Admiralty to
the St. Vincent with Lord de Ros.
While the other members of the Board went on a visit
to the St. Vincent, the first Sea Lord, Vice-Admiral Sir
Charles Adam, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Hyde
Parker, Mr. Fincham, Master Shipwright, and Mr.
Brown, Master-Attendant, inspected the Ajax, 56, steam
guard-ship in the basin, and made a minute examination
of the trunk for the screw. The Britannia was also
casually inspected, from which ship this party pro-
ceeded to the Prince Regent, 120, razeeing to a 92, and
inspected the new plan for her rudder and tiller, the in-
vention of Captain Fanshawe Martin, late of the Queen,
Trafalgar, lead Camperdown. From the Prince Regent
the Retribution was the next visited, after which Sir
Charles Adam rejoined his colleagues and left with them
for London. Mr. Ward, M.P., Secretary to the Admi-
ralty, came down yesterday, and proceeded to Ryde,
Isle of Wight.
The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander West, arrived
at Spithead this afternoon at five o'clock, from the west
coast of Africa. She is ordered to Woolwich to be paid
off, and will convey thither some new boats, and a quan-
tity of preserved meat (pemmican), prepared under the
inspection of Sir John Richardson, for the use of the
Arctic expedition.
The Conde do Montetnolin and suite, accompanied by
General Montenegro, arrived at this port yesterday at
half-past twelve. They were escorted over to the dock-
yard in Sir Charles Ogle's barge, attended by his Wig
captain (Captain Pasco, of the Victory) and flag-
lieutenant, and presented to Sir Charles Ogle at the
King's stairs, who then embarked in the barge, and
proceeded on board the Fanny yacht, in which the entire
party proceeded to Spithead, to inspect the St. Vincent,
after which they returned and dined with Sir Charles
Ogle and a distinguished party. This morning, at
half-past ten, Captain Pasco received the august visitors
at the dockyard gate, and escorted them to the Com-
mander-in-Chiet's house, where they met thu Lords of
the Admiralty and breakfasted ; after which they wore
escorted by Captain Pasco over the dockyards to the
royal yachts Victoria and Albert, and the Fairy, on
board which Commander Crispin received them, and
explained everything of interest. Thence they went
to the Victory and the Clarence victualling establish-
ments, Hasler Hospital, Sc. The Conde and suite, and
Captain Pasco, with a distinguished party, dined this
evening at the mansion of Colonel Dundas Campbell,
North End-house, Kingston, who accompanied his High-
ness in his visit. The utmost respect was shown the
Conde during his stay, which appeared to please him
much.
The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, was at
St. Helena, all well, on the 6th ult., having arrived there
on the sth with three prizes in tow. The first, taken en
the 17th of March, had been chased four days and nights
by the :Flying Fish, 12, Commander Dyke, and is a
beautiful vessel of 100 tons, a very fast sailer, had landed
her slave crew at Kabenda, where were the Larne' 18,
Commander Brisbane, the Heroine, 10, CommanderEd-
rnunds, the Sealark, 10, the Bittern, 16, and the Lily,
16. The Penelope left Kabenda on the 22d of March
for Congo River to Water, was at St. Paul de Loando on
the 25th, and left it on the 28th of March. Captured
the schooner Felicidade, with 312 slaves on board, a
small vessel about 60 tons. On the 4th she captured the
schooner Joanita, from Rio, everything fitted for slaves,
but none on board; she, too, was a remarkably fast
sailer. The Styx steam-sloT, Commander Chads, was
at St. Helena on the 6th of April. The Albatross, 16,
Commander Farquhar, had also arrived there. The
Penelope's officers and crew were all well.
PLYMOUTH, MAY 24.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel
Hecate. Commander Joseph West, arrived this morning
from the coast of Africa. She left Sierra Leone the 28th
of April, Goree the Ist of May, and Teneritfe the 14th
inst. The coast and ielands were healthy. The Hecate
did not speak any ship on her passage home. Her crew
are all well; the last death on board occurred in Septem-
ber, 1846. After receiving practique in the Sound, she
went up Hamoaze. The Hecate left England in June,
1845.
CHATHAM, May 24.—The Birkenhead steam-frigate'
Commander A. H. Ingram, arrived on Friday evening,
the 21st inst., for the purpose of coaling. She left at
half-past three o'clock the following afternoon, having
taken 200 tons of coal on board, and proceeded to Sheer-
ness. In passing Gillingham-reach she capsized a boat
in which were five engineer officers. Fortunately, the
officers wero expert swimmers, and they were picked up
by two watermen who saw the accident.
The Semarang, 26 gurs, sailed from Sheerness on the
afternoon of the 22d inst., for Gibraltar.
The Terrible steam frigate, Captain Ramsey, arrived
at Sheerness on Sunday evening, the 23d inst., at seven

past four P.M , with only half her steam up.
The Howe, 120 guns, Captain Sir James Stirling,
proceeds to the Nore this evening, the 24th inst., and
will be inspected by the Port Admiral to-morrow; she
will then proceed to Portsmouth, towed by the Terrible,
Birkenhead, and African steam-vessels. The Howe has
only 300 blue jackets on board, made up from Ports-
mouth, the ordinary at Chatham, and the Ocean. She
has also several seamen riggers from Chatham and Sheer-
ness Dockyards; and for the purpose of getting this
ship ready in time, the men have been working on her
from five o'clock in the morning until ten at night ever
since she has been in commission. It is reported that
the Howe will remain at Portsmouth for three months
to refit, as her present rigging is but temporary. A s
soon as she is completed, she will proceed to the Straits,
to relieve the Hibernia, 104, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Par-
ker, G.C.8., Captain Richards.

BATH.

TUESDAY EVENlNG.—Electioneering has begun in
this city in good earnest, and the friends of the pre-
sent
Members, as well as those of Lord Ashley (to
whom a requisition, inviting him to offer himself in
the Conservative interest, was presented some time
since) are taking active measures to secure the re-
turn of their respective candidates. Lord Duncan
and Mr. Roebuck arrived here on Saturday evening,
having (it is said) been specially urged to do so by
their committees, and their address was forthwith
issued and extensively circulated among the electoral
body.
Last night a meeting of the electors of the exten-
sive ward of St. James, convened by the Central
Committee of the Liberal Association, was held in the
large room of the Lamb Inn. The hair was taken
by Mr. Cox, a circumstance which was regarded with
much satisfaction by Mr. Roebuck's friends, inas-
much as it had been stated that that gentleman was
one of a numerous party of the electors who had taken
offence at some of the recent Parliamentary proceed-
ings of the lion. and Learned Member, more parti-
cularly in reference to the subject of education.
Mr. ROEBUCK. delivered a lengthened address in
explanation and vindication of his Parliamentary
policy. lie said he first sought their support as
a Radical, and he had adhered to Radical princi-
ples ever since, and hoped to continue to possess their
confidence.
Lord DUNCAN also spoke at some length, and ap-
pealed to his past proceedings as an earnest of his
future conduct.
Both Members were most cordially received, and
resolutions in approbation of their conduct were passed
with acclamation.
A very numerous meeting of the friends of Lord
Ashley was held to-day at the Assembly-rooms, and
was attended by most of the influential Conserva-
tives of the city. Mr. W. Sutcliffe took the chair,
and introduced
Lord ASHLEY, who addressed the electors at con-
siderable length, and touched upon the leading poli-
tical topics of the day. His Lordship touched upon
the various matters of social reform, in which he has
taken so deep an interest, and expressed himself to
some extent in favour of the policy of Lord John
Russell, whom he believed to be a statesman of
fine understanding, and of generous and patriotic
mind.

A vote of thanks to Lord Ashley was passed, and a
canvass on his behalf will, it is understood, be imme-
diately commenced.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.
The following address has been issued to the elec•
tors of the county of Buckingham by Mr. Disraeli:—
" Gentlemen,—As one of our present respected Mem
bers does not intend to renew his offers of service at the
general election, and as there is now no hope of obtain-
ing a successor to him in that quarter which would re-
ceive the support of all parties and interests, I beg to an-
nounce my intention, on the dissolution of the present
Parliament, of soliciting your suffrages for the high
honour of becoming one of your representatives.
" It is now many years ago since, in your County
Hall, I upheld the Cause of the Territorial Constitution
of England as the best and surest foundation for popular
rights and public liberty, imperial power and social hap-
piness. The maintenance of the agricultural industry of
the country is the necessary condition of the enjoyment
of that Constitution; and I have, therefore, indepen-
dently of all other considerations, opposed, during the ten
years in which I have had the honour of sitting in Par-
liament, every attempt which had a tendenry to diminish
the numbers and influence of those classes which are
directly dependent on the land.
" Influenced by this principle, I offered, during the
recent assault on our protective system, a faithful, though
fruitless, opposition to that project. What has since
occurred has not, in any degree, changed the conclusions
at which I then arrived as to the scheme of the late
Administration. The temporary high price that is sti-
mulated by famine is not the agricultural prosperity
which I wish to witness; while, in the full play of un-
restricted importation, I already recognise a disturbing
cause, which may shake our monetary system to its
centre, and which nothing but the happy accident of our
domestic enterprise has prevented, I believe, from exer-
cising a very injurious effect on the condition of the
working classes of Great Britain.
" Notwithstanding this opinion, I am not, however,
one of thc,se who would counsel, or who would abet, any
attempt factiously and forcibly to repeal the measures of
1846. The legislative sanction which they have obtained
requires that they should receive an ample experiment ;
and I am persuaded that this test alone can satisfy the
nation either of their expediency or their want of fitness.
If, however, as I hold the result of this great change
must be a reconstruction of our financial system, it will
behove the various classes connected with the cultivation
of the soil to be vigilant, that their interests may be
adequately represented and fitly enforced at a crisis when
their more compactly organized rivals will not be obli-
vious of their claims or over scrupulous in urging them.
" A domestic affliction precluded me from being pre-
sent during the recent debates on the subject of National
Education. It is but fair, therefore, that I should state,
that had I been in my place I should have supported the
measure of the Government. I should have done so
upon two grounds ; firstly, that it was a considerable
advance in a right direction ; and, secondly, because the
tendency of that measure is, not by investing them with
any exclusive privileges, but by securing them a fair
occasion for their exertions, mainly to place the educa-
tion of the people in the hands of the clergy, whom I
have ever wished to see in the vaa of civilisation, and
occupying their legitimate posts as guides and instruc-
tors of the people.
"Although I have always been of opinion that our
Constitution in Church and State has been a union far
more beneficial to the State than to the Church, which,
under all circumstances, must exist and flourish from its
inherent principle, I shall, at all times, heartily maintain
that alliance, since it has become identified with the
habits and best feelings of the people, and has, for a long
series of years, happily secured to us the hies• ings alike
of orthodoxy and of religious freedom. For these,
among other reasons, I thought it my duty to oppose, in
1815, the grant to the College of Alaynooth, leading, as
it inevitably and avowedly did, to the endowment of the
priesthood of another Church. I see no reason to regret
the opposition which I offered to that measure, and I
hold it to be quite consistent with an earnest desire to
secure to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects the civil
and political equality to which they are entitled.
"In the great struggle between popular principles
and liberal opinions which is the characteristic of our
age, I hope ever to be found on the side of the people,
and of the institutions of England. It is our institutions
that have made us free, and can alone keep us so, by the
bulwark which they offer to the insidious encroachments
of a convenient, yet enervating, system of centralisation,
which, if left unchecked, will prove fatal to the national
character. Therefore, I have ever endeavoured to
cherish our happy habit of self-government, as sustained
by a prudent distribution of local authority. For these
reasons I am of opinion that the right of supreme con-
trol, necessary to the due administration of the poor-
law, should be exercised by the chief depositary of power
in every county, and that the supervision of our parishes
should not be entrusted to strangers.
"It is unnecessary for me to state I shall support all
those measures the object of which is to elevate the
moral and social condition of the working classes, b)
lessening their hours of toil—by improving their means
of health—and by cultivating their intelligence. These
are objects which it is not unpleasing for me to remem-
ber, I endeavoured. in common with some of my friends,
to advance before they engaged the attention of Go-
vernments, or were supported by triumphant Parlia-
mentary majorities.
" It is with these views that I come forward to solicit
your suffrages. I am deeply conscious how high is the
object of my ambition. It is the greatest honour that an
Englishman can receive from the hands of his fellow-
subjects; but if the honour be great, I at least know how
to appreciate it. Amid the universal crash of parties, I
advance to claim your confidence with none of the com-
mon-places of faction. I am not the organ of any section,
or noinhee of any individual. All that I can offer to
you is the devotion of such energies as I possess. All
that I aspire to is to serve you as becomes the represen-
tative of a great, undivided, and historic county, that
has achieved vast results for our popular liberty, our
parliamentary reputation, and our national greatness.

_ _
Al ARYLEBONE.—Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart has
come forward as a candidate for this borough, on the
presumed retirement of Sir Charles Napier.
NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—Since our last there
has been an active canvass made for Sir George Grey,
and the result is described as highly favourable to
the Honourable Baronet. In this town, as might he
expected, a large number have pledged themselves to
Sir George
; and if present appearances may be
trusted, his success is not so doubtful as was at first
sthuepposed. There is a growing feeling even amongst
, and leave
county,
that the services of Lord Ossul-
ston, " the absent Member," as he has been called,
the
eoucCld be at once dispensd with ; and if the elec-
tors consult their own dignity and the reputation of
CommonsY.l theyiveto
Lord-
ship,Lsoomrde:

INVERNESS BURG 11.—We are enabled to state, upon
good authority, that Mr. Morrison, the present Mem-
hciwamsi will
at ofttusael
rl
da libertytcino.o nt
accounts
to pursueith his
.ber for the burgh of Inverness, Forres, Nairn, and
Fortrose, will not be allowed to go unopposed at the
ensuing general election. Rumour asserts that Sir
John Macpherson Grant, of I3allindalloch, is to oppose
Mr. Morrison. He is said to be a Liberal ; but we
would caution the electors not to pledge themselves
to any candidate whose opinions upon the various
questions which now engross and agitate the country
are not properly and explicitly defined and under-
stood, and in accordance with the views of the ma-
jority of the electors.—Edinburgh Weekly Express.
EAST LOTRIAN.—Lord Elcho has this week com-
menced a canvass in East Lothian on behalf of his
son, the Hon. F. Charteris. Another candidate is
expected to appear as an opponent of the game-laws,
on which question a powerful body of the tenantry of
all parties have resolved to unite.--Seotsman.
NEWCASTLE.—We are still without any appear-
ance of a second liberal candidate. There are ru-
' tours of certain individuals being in readiness to take

the field, but, owing to some cause or other, no defi-
nite arrangements are made. Such procrastination is
by no means creditable to the borough, indicating an
absence of the decision and energy indispensably ne-
cessary to the occasion.—Newcastle Guardian.
PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.—We are at length au-
thorised to announce that Mr. Mowatt, a gentleman

who has already had considerable experience in Par-
liament, will offer himself as a candidate at the ensu-
ing election. Captain Plumridge will also solicit »
renewal of the confidence reposed in him. We learn
that Mr. Howell Gwynn, who was defeated at the
last election, also intends to offer himself; and report
says that Captain the Honourable Swynfen T. Car-
negie, R.N., at present M.P. for Stafford, contem-
plates presenting himself to the electors. We have
not heard whether Mr. Freshfield, who represented
Penryn in four or five Parliaments, intends to come
forward in compliance with a requisition presented to
him some few months since.—Falmouth Packet.

13IBMINGIIAM.—The uncertainty which at present
prevails as to the precise duration of Parliament has
been influential in checking speculation on the chances
of a co:ltest for Birmingham. We understand, how-
ever, that it has been determined to bring forward a
gentleman in opposition to Mr. Spooner, who is
indebted for his seat merely to unseemly dissension
amongst the Liberal party, who differing in matters
of detail, are nevertheless agreed in the great princi-
ple of progressive reform. The same gentleman who
solicited the suffrages of the electors on that occasion
will again be selected to test whether the constituency
of Birmingham will continue to be practically dis-
franchised, by returning members whose votes on all
great questions of commercial or social reform neu-
tralise one another. Although no committee has
been formed, and in fact no meeting has yetbeen held,
we believe that there is no doubt that Mr. William
Scholefield will again come forward in opposition to
Mr. Spooner, and there is still less doubt that if he
does he will receive the eordial support of the great
body of the Liberal electors. It is also generally
understood that Mr. Muntz will again offer himself
as a candidate, and unless disunion once more gives
the advantage to the Conservatives, we may confi-
dently expect to see Birmingham relieved from the
political inconsistency which at present attaches to it.
—Birmingham Journal.
NORTH DURHAIII.—The abstinence of Colonel
Beckwith from a canvass, after issuing his address to
the electors of North Durham, has been construed

into a symptom of hesitation and indecision. Nothing
could he more erroneous. Colonel Beckwith has re -
solved, very wisely and considerately, to refrain from
plunging the division thus early into an excitement
of an election. Neither the Hon. H. T. Liddell nor
Lord Seaham, for aught that the Liberals know, may
yet take the field. So far, Colonel Beckwith and
Mr. Duncombe Shafto are the only candidates for
the representation of Durham in the next Parliament.
It may be too much to expect that they will be
elected without opposition ; but, at any rate, until
the Tories pick up the glove, or betray some inclina-
tion to do so, the Liberals may very well remain quiet
Should the Tories give them battle, the course of
action is plain. There must be no distrust or dissen-
tion amongst the supporters of the Colonel and Mr.
Shafto. The great bulk of the Liberal electors will
sanction no half measures—no splitting. "Beck-
with and Shafto," or " Shafto and Beckwith," must
be the vote.—Gateshead Observer.

SOUTH DURHAM.—The two divisions of our county
are now, in one respect, in the same position. Mr.
Hedworth Lambton has resigned in the north, Mr.
John Bowes in the south. Mr. Lambton's health de-
mands privacy and ease. Mr. Bowes's purse protests
against another contest, The Tories, in fact, have
won the election of 1847, by contesting the election
of 1841 ; that is, if the Liberals of South Durham per-
mit a gentleman to whom they are everlastingly in-
debted, to be driven out of Parliament by the money-
power.—Gateshead Observer.
HEREFORD.—Mr. Brand has responded to a requi-
sition, and stands for Hereford.
AYLESBURY.—Mr. Sergeant Byles will be opposed
by Lord Nugent at Aylesbury.
SOMERSETSIIIRE.—A Hampshire paper states, " We
hear that Mr. John Wood, the barrister, is likely to
be proposed as candidate for Somersetshire, on Pro-
testant principles, in opposition to Mr. Acland."
ABERDBEN.—We observe in one of the south-
country papers a paragraph stating that opposition is
threatened to Mr. Bannerman. Nothing of the kind
is known here. It was at one time thought that.
General Arbuthnott would be opposed in Kincardine-
shire, but from the number and influence of the names
attached to a requisition to the General, which we
have seen, we feel satisfied that any such opposition
would be fruitless. Some of the London newspapers
have been speculating on the results of the contest
between Sir Leith Hay and Mr. George Duff in the
Elgin Burghs. They evidently do not understand
what they are writing about.—Aberdeen Herald.
GREENOCK.—Mr. Walter Baine, it would appear,
does not intend to stand again as a candidate for the
representation of this town in Parliament. Then
has been handed about for signature, under the
auspices of Mr. Baine's friends, a requisition to Lord
John Hay, brother of the Marquis of Tweeddale, and
a Lord of the Admiralty, to become a candidate at
the ensuing election Mr. Dunlop, advocate, who
opposed Mr. Baine on the last occasion, and veri,
nearly defeated him, although he entered upon the,
field at so late a period as to render his return almost
hopeless, pledged himself at that time to stand again
whenever a vacancy should occur. Having been in-
formed by his friends of the movement that has been
going on in the other party, he came immediataly to
town, and had a meeting of his committee in the
White I tart Hotel. He is to remain in town to pro-
secute his canvass personally. In the event of a con-
test taking place, it will, in all probability, be a severe
one.
DURHAM.—There is a rumour in circulation that
Colonel Thorns Wood does not intend to offer himself
again for the representation of Middlesex, but means
to solicit, on the Londonderry interest, the suffrage
of the constituency of the city of Durham.—North
British Mail.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-110USE.
Mr. Burgon, of 35, Bucklersbury, was summoned be-
fore the Lord Mayor for having refused to pay the
church-rate, amounting to 51. 25., due to the united
parishes of St. Stephen's Walbrook and St. Benet
Sherehog.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you got your summons,
Mr. Burgon?
Defendant—No, my Lord; I left it at home, between
the leaves of my Bible.
The LORD MAYOR—You object to pay the rate?
Defendant—l have conscientious objections to the
rate. I consider that lam conscientiously bound to re-
fuse to pay it.
The LORD MAYOR—It is my duty as a magistrate to
enforce the payment. lam under a legal necessity to
act eremptorily upon occasions of tis kind; I have no
alterpnative. My duty is a mere mathter of form, which
I have no power to alter.
Defendant—lt is no matter of form for me to part
with that for which I have laboured, for purposes which
I cannot recognise, and to which I am opposed from
principle.
The LORD MAroa—You know well that you are le-
gally bound to pay the church-rate. Where can be the
good in putting yourself to the inconvenience of refusing
to do what, you must be aware, you are compellable by
law to do?

Defendant—Your Lordship has mentioned the consci-
entious reason I have for objecting to pay, for the law
of the land has nothing to do with conscience; conscience
has nothing to do with a civil magistrate.
The LORD MAYOR—I think quite otherwise. I have
this moment sentenced a man to imprisonment as a rogue
and vagabond for three months, and it was because my
conscience told me that the man was guilty that I passed
judgment upon him. The law of the land perfectly co-
incided there.
Defendant—My conscientious objection is founded
upon the principle which I recognise, that the Church of
England is based in error. That church holds to bap-
tismal regeneration, which I consider to be altogether
fallacious and destitute of foundation in the Bible.
There is no mention of such a thing at all in Holy Writ
as baptismal regeneration.
The LORD MAYOR—I am not bound, as a magistrate,
to enter into a discussion of this kind, and I shall not
hear any more upon such a point.
It was then regularly proved that Mr. Burgon was
chargeable with the rate to the amount represented, and
The Loan MAYOR told him that if he questioned the
validity of it, he must give notice to that effect to the
magistrate, and his appeal would go before an ecclesias-
tical tribunal. _ _ _

Defendant—l have already mentioned my conscien-
tious objection on the ground of the recognition of bap-
tismal regeneration by the Church of England. I have
another objection to state. I have reason to believe that
there is a great endowment in our parish. I believe
that there is as much as 8001. a year, which ought to be
appropriated to the repairs of the church, to contribute
to which I have been summoned; and it is my opinion
that if such appropriation took place there would not
be any necessity for applying to me.
The Loan MAYOR—That is a matter to which my
jurisdiction does not, as you very well know, extend.
Defendant—My Lord, my first objection, which ori-
ginated in a conscientious scruple, you have set aside.
The LORD MAYOR—You may continue to entertain
that objection, but I am obliged to act as a civil magis-
trate on the occasion, or I become liable to be served
with a mandamus.
Defendant—When I saw that my first position was
likely to avail me nothing, I thought it necessary to try
another, and I mentioned the command of funds in the
united parishes as a rational excuse for refusing the ap-
plication. I am not (as our reporter understood 111 r.
13urgon) a believer in geographical or in parochial Chris-
tianity, and I cannot see why the Church of England
should compel those who do not subscribe to
.her doc-
trines to subscribe to her support. I pay tithes in addi-
tion to the expense which the imposition of this church-
rateleflicts upon me by the sale of my go?ds. Yoar
Lordship must see that education, likewise, is involved in
this question.
The LORD MAYOR—Yes. I apprehend that. you are
one of those who so strongly objected to the Ministerial
plan of education ?
Defendant--Jot so, I objected for the same ream

that the Bishops objected to the Maynooth grant—
that the plan imposed upon others the hardship of
paying for what they did not approve. Now, inde-
oendently of my objections in point of conscience, I con-
sider my claim of exemption upon the argument of the
possession of funds in the united parishes worthy of
consideration, although I certainly prefer going upon
the higher grounds. The subject is associated with
many other questions, but it is identified with the educa-
tion question. We hear people talk of the necessity of
religious education, but religion is not a thing which
depends upon education—it is dependent upon faith,

which is not to be taught.
The LORD MAYOR—It has been frequently observed
to those who object to the laws by which the country they
reside in is regulated, that they are at perfect liberty
to remove to someplace better adapted to their taste. I
admit that you are perfectly justified in asserting your
conscientious scruples ; but I am bound as a magistrate
to enforce the law at my own peril, and I cannot make

your case an exception.
Defendant—l have within the last thirty years been
put to the expense of 500/. for what I never make use
and what never has been of the slightest service to
tile. The Church has scarcely left me an article of fur-
liture of any advantage to me. I hope her ministers
will, upon this occasion, seize upon looking-glasses and
,ueh things as are not indispensable, and that they will
leave me my bed and bed-clothes and a table and
chairs.

The LORD MAYOR—Depend upon it you will not be
subjected to any annoyance which you will not bring
upon yourself.
The defendant, who is, we understand, a gentleman of
high respectability, then retired, and a warrant was made
,)ut against his goods and chattels.
Thomas Fitzgibbon, a labouring man, was brought up
charged upon suspicion of having caused the death of

Peter Doyle. -
It appeared from the evidence of a woman who lodged
in the house in which the prisoner and his wife resided,
that the deceased and Fitzgibbon and Mrs. Fitzgibbon
had been drunk, and quarrelling and fighting on the
ianding-place, and that the deceased was heard to fall
town two flights of stairs ; that he and the prisoner
fought afterwards ; and that it was necessary to convey
the deceased to the hospital, where he died.
Remanded till Friday.
GUILDHALL.
Charles Thompson, aged 24, a person of respectable
Ippearance, was brought before Mr. Alderman Moon,
harged with stealing; two books from the shop-window
,f Mr. Noble, a bookseller in Fleet street. •

Mr. Noble stated that he did not wish to press the
charge, as he believed the crime was committed through
poverty, and on account of the prisoner's previous re-

,pectability.
Mr. Alderman MooN said he would consider of tha
when he had heard the circumstances.
Mr. Humphrey, a law-writer, on Bread-street. hill,
stated that on passing through Fleet-street he saw the
,aisoner secrete the books under his coat and walk away.
Witness followed him into Fetter-lane before he met
vith a policeman. Witness pointed him out to the
,fficer. and saw him stopped.
Walter Tyler, City policeman, No. 373, said that upon
tsking the prisoner if he had not a book under his coat,
he replied he had ; he had Shakspere's works, which
had been lent to him by a friend in the Strand. lle
prodUced the volume from under his coat. Witness told
him he thought he could take him to the shop from
which he had just stolen it. The prisoner assured him
what he said was perfectly right, but witness would not
take his word for that, and conveyed him to the station,
where a second book called the " Gift," was found in his
pocket, as well as some duplicates relating to books.
Mr. Noble identified the two-books.
Mr. Alderman MooN asked the prisoner if he wished
to make any statement ?
The prisoner said he was in great distress.
The ALDERMAN asked him what trade he followed ?
The prisoner said he was not of any trade, but he had
been in business, and he put in letters to show his former
respectability.
Mr. Alderman MOON asked if he had followed any
occupation recently.
The prisoner said he had not.
The ALDERMAN said, he could not yield-to Mr. Noble's
recommendation, for it would end in his turning the
pri-
soner loose in a short time to prey upon the public again.
The prisoner's previous position was rather an aggra-
vation of his crime, for as a man of intelligence he
knew that he need not have resorted to stealing because
he was destitute. Those who had the means made con-
tributions as poor-rates to prevent any unemployed mem-
ber of society from being driven to stealing. He felt
himself bound to commit the prisoner to trial. The
prisoner might hand his papers to the judge and show
what probability there was that he would be removed
from the state of necessity in which he had lately been.
He was committed for trial.
Captain Spence, of the 89th Foot, who had been
charged on the preceding day with stealing four cigars,
and who appeared to be in a state of insanity, was
brought up and delivered to his friends to be immediately
conveyed back to the regiment, which is lying at Dover.
lle had come to London on leave of absence for a fort-
night, and had exhibited some eccentricities that left
little doubt of the state of his mind.
BOIV-STREET.

A middle-aged man, named Harry Hartnell, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, under the following
circumstances:—
The charge sheet represented the prisoner as having
been taken in custody on suspicion of being an accessory
to the murder of the infant child of a woman named
C;leveliind, keeping a house of ill-fame in Upper IVel-
ington-street, but;the charge was not signed.
Mr. HENRY inquired what was the nature of the
charge, and by whom it was instituted?
Mr, Mosely, who attended to watch the case qn behalf
of the parish authorities of the Strand Union, observed
that the prisoner had been brought to Bow-street by
the direction of Mr. Bedford, the coroner of Westmin-
ster, before whom an inquest had been held on the body
of the deceased child of a Mrs. Cleveland. A medical
gentleman, it appeared, had made certain statements to
r,hecoroner respecting an interview which he had had with
the prisoner, whose remarks induced him to suspect
that he was an accessory to the child's death. The pri-
ioner consequently attended the adjourned inquest, and
desired to be examined upon the subject; but the coroner
advised him not to criminate himself, and, on his then
declining to make any statement, ordered a constable in
attendance to take him before the magistrate at Bow-
,treet. Mr. Mosely reminded his Worship that another
,tarty, who had refused his name, had been remanded by
Slr. Jardine on a similar charge. He (Mr. closely) had
no instructions in the matter, but merely wished to ex •
plain how the prisoner came before his Worship.
Mr. HENRY asked if anybody was present to give evi-
dence against the prisoner ? Mr. Lawson (the medical
gentleman above adverted to) said that he was prepared
to repeat the statements he had already made before the
coroner ; but they did not go to prove that the
prisoner was actually concerned in the murder of the
child.
Mr. HENRY desired the constable to produce his autho-
rity for taking the prisoner into custody.
The constable had no authority but the verbal direc-
tions of the coroner.
Mr. HENRY assured the constable that they gave him
no authority whatever, unless accompanied by a war-
rant; and his Worship expressed his surprise that the
charge was taken by the inspector.
The prisoner was then discharged.
SOUTHWARK.
Robert Corden, late engineer of the Universal Gas-
light Company, was brought before Mr. Cottingham on
e following charge:—
Mr. Buckton, Secretary of the London and Brighton
Railway Company, stated that, being indebted to the
Universal Gaslight Company in the sum of 1151., fJr
supplying gas, he was authorised by the managing
director to transmit a letter of advice to the
socretary of that company relative to the payment
of the money. The following day, the 14th instant,
the prisoner called and represented himself as the engi-
neer of the gas company, and when witness put some
questions to him his replies were so satisfactory, saying
that he was in the habit of collecting money for the
concern, that witness was induced to hand him over a
cheque for 115/., the amount of their account. Owing
however, to something that transpired in a short time
afterwards, payment of the cheque was stopped at the
bankers upon whom it was drawn. The witness added,
that when he expressed his surprise to the accused that
he had not brought the letter of advice which he (the
witness) had written relative to the settkinent of the
account to the gas company, his answer was that he had
forgotten it; and he afterwards sent it to the Brighton
Railway-office.

said that he obtained his information relative to the pay-
ment of the debt due to the company b 3 peeping into the
letter addressed by the secretary of the Brighton Rail-
way Company to witness.
In reply to Mr. Cottingham, the witness said that on
the 19th inst. the Universal Gas Company would be in-
debted to the prisoner 110/., part of his salary; that the
prisoner called at the witness s office on the day after he
received the cheque, admitted the fact of his having re-
ceived it, also admitted that he had peeped into the letter
of advice, and added that he acted throughout the busi-
ness under legal advice.
Mr. Edward Boulter, managing director of the Uni-
versal Gaslight Company, stated that the prisoner had
no authority to receive moneys, but there was a balance
of salary of 110/. due to the prisoner, which would
have
ebby hetene Brighton but he had no authority to receive 115/.

Mr. Parry-, on the part of the prisoner, contended that
he had not been guilty of any
offence amenable
in a cri-
minal court ; that the facts were, the company, of
which he was engineer, was indebted to him;-
that he
could not obtain the money; and that he went and re-
ceived a cheque for 1151. due to his debtors, and would have
paid himself out of it, handing them over the balance, if
payment had not been stopped.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that although the prisoner was
not justified in obtaining the amount of his salary by
such means as those described, yet it appeared that the
company was indebted to him, and as he was of opinion
