CRIMINAL JUSTICE

Mr. BARNEBY begged to ask the Right Hon. the
Attorney-General whether it was his intention to bring on
the Criminal Justice Bill that night?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he ahnuld not
bring it forward unless he had an opportunity of doing so
before ten o'cicelc.
PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.

Mr. KELLY said it would be in the recollection of the
Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) that he bad postponed the
Committee on the Bill for the Abolition of the Punish-
ment of Death, at his suggestion, until Monday, the 3d of
May, and be hoped it would be convenient to the Noble
Lord to bring it on and take precedence on that day.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had suggested the post-
ponement, in order that the Bill might be better con-
sidered when there was a full attendance of the House.
He was ready to agree to the proposition of the Hon. and
Learned Member, that the Bill should have priority on
Monday next, and he would state that he did not intend to
oppose the Bill of the Hon. and Learned Member, but in
the Committee be would propose various clauses.
Mr. LUCAS begged to remind the Noble Lord that
Monday the 31st of May was Whi&-Monday ; and he
wished to know whether it was his intention to bring for-
ward his motion with respect to the Corn-laws on that day.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL sail as the 31st of May
would occur in Whitsun week, he should bring it forward
on the next Order Day afterwards.
Col. SIBTHORP rose amid much laughter. It was
almost impossible to bo surprised at any anything that
was done by the Government, but could any one conceive
it possible—( Loud cries of" Question")—he would ask was
it, or was it not, the intention of the Noble Lord to bring
forward a discussion on the Corn.laws—( Cries, of Ob, oh,
and quesli.m)—could it be believed that any individual
holding so important a station as the Noble Lord
could gravely come dean to the house and give notice cf
so important tolion without that due preparati.in for
which the Howe had a right to look ? (The Hon. Mem•
b:r continued speakirg for a few moments in an exci:ei
manner, but the laughter and cries of " Oh, oh," and
" Question," effectually drowned his observations).

Lord SANDON—iiefore the House went into Com-
mittee, he begged leave to present a petition signei by
7,000 merchant!: and inhabitant% of Liverpool, praying she
Howe st an early perkd to enter into a revision of our
Corm-nercial Tariff.—(Cheers,)
Mr. E WART pre‘ented a petition, signed by 53 000
of the ichlbitlnt.i of Li%c-pool and its neighbourhood, to
the same efi'.2ct, but more especially praying for the repeLl
of till C,rn-laws.

Mr. M. I) HILT PS preseaed a petirin from the Cham-
ber of Commerce of Manchester, pra)ing the House to
remove all r.:strictions from trade, and, above all, for a
Repoli of the Corn-laws ; the petitioners expressly stlted
that :hey were willing to g've up all protection to the
trades in which they were engaged.

JAMES WALKER.

HER MAJESTY'S TH EA TRE.--Oteno was
played on Thursday to about the thinnest and coldest house that
we have seen at this period of the season. Otello had been
announced for Tuesday, and Grisi (if we mistake not) was to
have been Desdemona, whereas it was Madame Viardot who
was in possession of the part last night. '1 he latter, as our
readers may remember, made her debut in it at her Majesty's
Theatre, and rn,ght reasonably wish to resume a characier in
which her vocal powers were first revealed to the English
musical world. Pauline Garcia's execution was all that could
be expected from a young cantatrice, whose physical strength
has, unfortunately, not kept pace with her vocal and dramatic
improvements. Of Rubini's Otello:and Tamburini's lago it is
almost needless to say anything, after the praise we have so
frequently had occasion to bestow upon them. Her Majesty,
who honoured the Opera with her presence, arrived towards
the close of the first act of Otello, having,mistake not, been preceded by her Royal flighness the Duchese sof Kent and the Princess of Leiningen. From the numbers who left the theatre before the Diable Am s I
oureu made his appearance,
we conclude that he must have played to fewer admirers tlar.-,1

ever.

GREECE.

ArnEss, APLIL 10.--I'he departnie of M. Tricoupi for
England bus given rise here t) considerations of a very
serious nature. _ _

It is well kr.uwn Tricoupi's nomination e as, in Ile
first instance, msee by the King, under prt-te rce of
ing to shag: his desire to plctasl the British G:.votament.
It is well known that not only after Trieoupi's nornirwi, n,
but lorg previous to its taking place, Sir Edmund Lyt ns
La t protested against his being
.sent to England ; nd,
above all, it is well known that the King, on discovering
'1 i's disgraceful obaudonment of principle, almost do-
t icier' on not sendi I; him to London, when lie again :ul-
- altetei his mind, And Tricoupi was despatched by
toe French steamer to Malta.
The magi!, of this last atop hosing been taken hes now
become very evident. Tricoupi has undertaken to in rsuade
the British Government taint ihe Greeks are not fit for a
Constitution, to do wl.ich he must deny the truth 01 every
word he ever spoke previous to his apostacy ; he trust at-
tack the characters of Condnurtotti, Mavrocordato, Sir
EZ.!eliard Church, and the whole of those forming tie Con-
sthutionnl party, ar.d endeavour, by every means in his
power, to obtain the rent of Sir Edmund Lyons, This,
of course, suits the Bavarians ; they -see that it is their
only chance of remaining in Greq,:e, and they feel con-
vine( d that Tricoupi, like all renegades, will not stick
at trifles.
Money has not been spared ; the salary of the Greek
minister, already greater &ma those of the Ministers of
any of the smaller courts at London, has been greatly in-
crease?. Money been spared 1 Why, it has positively
been squandered on Tricoupi oy the Ki,;g, to increase his
zeal in his cause. Thousands of drachmas have been paid
him for the loss on the sale of his furniture ! Thousands
fur he travelling expenses of I'v.larbinae Tricoupi and small
fey Thousands to buy a carriage in London.l and thou-
sands for reprevntation money ! Let all. London be pre-
pared to be dazzled by the Greek Minister's splendid
equipage and splendid fete.
As regards the constittitionll cause . gerersllv, it has
certainly not suffered from Tricoupi', disaffection. it never
%vas stronger tiara at the l res:nt mr,ment. Msvrocor_
cla,o's arrival is looked for with the c.,,,reatest anxiety; and,
if t c is firm, I have not a 4nebt t 1.6 Bavarian Ca.
manilla may be at once got T fq. On the coz)Tra-y, should
Ilavrocordato accept ofli:m und-:r the present system, het
toe, must be coot off.

But the night dew that falls, though in silence it weeps,
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps;
And the tear that we shed, though in secret it rolls,
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls."—Moore.

OBER 20, 1841.

1828. The high-spring tide which occurred in the
March of this year, did much damage ashore, and over-
flowed extensive grounds and houses.
1841, Oct. 18. This last visitation of the London River-
God, is likely to prove, by the accounts which are com-
ing in, as disastrous as any on record.
The venerable Stowe, after announcing the preterna-
tural tide which occurred in 1564, thus ventures to phi-
losophise upon the causes of the phenomena, and assigns
the following reasons:—
The Thames overflowing its banks proceeds from se-
veral causes.

First—From great rains, by which the fresh waters
raise up the river, and going down to the sea are stopped
by the floods, whence they must needs swell above their
height. There was a notable example of this in the year
1555, when, by reason of excessive rains that had fallen,
all St. George's-fields, in Southwark, the Palace-yard,
and even Westminster-hall, were overflowed.

Secondly,—lnundations of the Thames may be occa-
sioned by boisterous north-west winds, which generally
not only cause very high tides at the mouth of the
Thames, but on the coasts of Holland, Flanders, Picardy,
and the shores of Eng!a.nd oppo4te to them, and for
this reason, that this wind blows with equal force in the
tide of float], at each end of this island, both westwards
and north Nards.

Thirdly,—There is another cause of greater tides and
inundations in the Thames, not commonly taken notice
of, which is the moon's being in her Perigee, or in that
part of her orb which is nearest to the earth; for, if the
spring tides are made by her coming nearer the earth at
her full and change, and her withdrawing farther from
the earth at her quarters occasion the neap tides, it must
follow, that if to the proximity which the moon has to
the earth, by moving in her ellipsis, there is added that
proximity which she has in her eccentric or opposite
angles, she should operate so much the more extraordi-
narily upon the sea, and make the higher spring tides at
such full and change.

ARRIVAL OF TiiE CALEDONIA

found in another part of The Sun, The trial of
"M`LEon was fixed for the 4th i
our impression is, that a furthernstant, but
postpone-
ment would take place, in consequence
of the absence of some of the principal witnesses
in Canada. The arrest of Colonel GnoGAN was
exciting an extraordinary fermemt on the frou
tier. An account of the arrest was forwarded to
the Government at Washington. It was expected
that the PRESIDENT would demand his release,
which the British authorities would not refuse,
when judicially satisfied that the arrest had
been made within the United States' territory.

COUNTY FINANCES.

• Mr. SMALLPIECE, the County Treasurer, reported
the state of the county finances to be as follows :—The
balance of the last quarter was 8,7831. 12s. 5d., which
was afterwards increased by the receipt of different sums
to 9,9401.45. 6d. He had since paid on account of the
county 12,047/..15. 4d., being an excess of 2,1061. 16s. 10d.
over the amount specified. That sum would be in-
creased by outstanding amounts, now due, to 7,4311. 11s:
2d., which would be provided for by the rate now in
collection, and which, when wholly collected, would leave
a balance in his hands of somewhere about 7,0001. .
Mr. TROTTER said before the Report was received he
would beg to bring before the notice of the Court the
very partial and unsatisfactory manner, in which the
county rate was at present levied. Some of the parishes
had been valued under the new Amendment Act, others
were valued in a very different manner, and the result
was that the county rate was most unfairly levied, some
parishes paying a great deal too much and others a great
deal too little, and he thought it was the duty of the Court
to do all in its power to remedy such a state of things.
Captain ROBERTS said that at the Bench where he
acted he had frequent opportunities of noticing the gross
inequality of the assessments in the several parishes, and
he thought it was absolutely necessary that same remedy
should be afforded.
After some discussion it was arranged that the Clerk
of the Peace should write to all the petty sessions in the
different parishes in the county, for the purpose of ob-
taining information as to their mode of assessment, in
order to enable the Court to take some steps
‘upon the
subject.

THE OLYMPIC.

Mr. Mark Lemon's comedy of the Ladies' club was re-
vivA here on Monday night, and sustained in excellent
style. It will be remembered that it WAS on produced
at this theatre, when the character of Mrs. Fitzsmyth was
represented by Mrs. Glover, and afterwards by Mrs. Stir-
ling. It was on Monday night performed by Mrs. Waylett,
who entered fully into the spirit of the part, and infused
into it a large portion of its pristine freshness. Much
praise is due to Mr. C. Baker, the stage-manage r,
thc! manner in which the piece has been got up. Mr.
Turnout- has resumed his part of Twankay, which he
has mrde his own. Mr. G. Wild was as happy and
comic as usual, and the comedy altogether was quite
successful. In all probability the Ladies' Club will have
another career of prosperity on the ground of its nativity

Loss OF FOUR LIVES IN THE RIVER.—
We regret to say that the rowing-match of Mond iy
(which is noticed elsewhere) was succeeded by an acci-
dent of the most distressing description. Mrs. Coombes
(the wife of Tom Coombes) and two of his sisters, one
of wham was the wife of Good-min (Coombe's partner),
with an infant, were returning in a 'boat from Putney
after the contest, when, on their arrival near the Cad°.
gan Pier at Chelsea, an accident attended with a great
loss of life occurred. It was nearly dark, and the boat
came athwart the floating barge at the pier, and sud-
denly, in consequence of the wind and extraordinary
height of the tide, went down by her stern. The boys
who had the control of the boat (sons of the watermen)
jumped or climbed on to the barge ; but Mrs. Coombes
and her child, Mrs. Goodrum and the other female, were
drowned.
