The depositions having been read,
Mr. HALL stated that he had been considering what Mr.
lobler had said on Saturday as to the evidence of the state of
Norfolk-street on the night in question, and he thought it
would be better it should appear on the depositions.
Mr. Fishier said that he had another witness, Mr. Ellis, the
landlord of the Castle at Richmond, who would prove that
Lard \V. Russell hail been at his house, and had written to
him subsequently, to ask if he had left it there, and that search
had bean made, and nwhing found.
alr. HALL thought it would be unnecessary, as the matter
was already in evidence.
Sir. Hob er—Very well, sir ; but I shall have him and per-
sons belonging to his establishment ready at the trial, in order
to have them examined, if it should be necessary.
Mr. Flower said he was anxious that every thing should ap-
pear on the depositions that they should have to answer.
Mr. Nobler said that he had mentioned this now in order that
Mr. Ellis might be eros.s-examined at the trial, if necessary.
Alfred Stade, Police Constable 124 C.-1 was on d sty in

Russell's. I am thirteen minutes going round my beat.
I go through Norfolk-street every time. I know the
house of Lord William Russell—it is No. 14. I never saw
anything psrticular at Lord William's blouse. I did not see a
light either above or below. lam accustomed to observe those
things, and saw no light in any part of the house on the 'light in
question. Did not observe or hear any noises in or near the
house that night, nor any person seated on the step of the door,
nor any person come out of Lord W. Russell's house, nor any
person come up 'he area, nor did I observe any person go int^
the house of Lord William either by the door or area, nor did I
observe any vehicle of atly sort at. Lord William's door. 'I he
street was perfectly quiet ; the last person I saw in the street
was a fis!irw niter going to No. 16, at half after eleven. Day
broke about half after three. It was a tine bright night.

the house that night, nor did I hear any voices in the
house, nor did I see any one sitting at his Lordship's
door, or any °the- door, in Norfolk-street. I saw no

had furnished him with one from the same parcel from which
she had taisen the one put up in Lord William's room on the
Toes lay night, and that it was of the same size. she saw it
lighted. It was for the purpose of trying an experiment to
aseei rain how hung the one found in Lord William's bed-room

this closed the case
for the prosecution.
Sir. Hatt said to Sir. Flower, The witnesses are all bound
over to appear at his trial, but I shall not sign his committal
to-day, because I wish to get first the evidence as to a fact
which has come to my !snow edge, and on which I am not yet
satisfied. I shall therefor, rnnand him until Friday.

SPIRIT of tie PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
( Rom the Globe.)
Sir Robert Peel's caution on the Corn-law (Mo-
tion was made the subject. of something like a compliment
in the debate of last night. " Nothing,' said Mr. Struts,
" had falien from him which would prevent him coining dose
in the next session of ILrli rment, if he were :sinister, and
prol.osing an extensive change in the Corn-laws." Now we
confess we think there is something equivocal in the merit of
this kind of caution. A statesman, above all, a statesman in the
ranks of the Opi.osit ion, who has none of the delicate embarrass-
ments of power to pre vent his speaking his mind, owes his country
the test of his public counsel on atl public questions. '1 he
statesman who withholds that counsel shows one of two things—
that he preiers the interest of his party to that of his country ;
or that he has not taken interest en,,ugh in the question to
make up his mind on it ; or, finally, tbs.• he has not the faculty
of making up his mind upon questions, until the pressure
from without comes to determine his hesitations. We con-
: sider this in truth the great defect in the Tory leader. lle
is Tory or Reformer by circumstance, les• than by character.
Mr. Villiers said the character of Reformer suited Sir Ro-
bert Peel much better than that which he now wore. Not
at all : either part suits him equally. We look upon Sir
Robert Peel as equa ly qu tidied to act the Liberal or Con-
servative leader. But acting is not enough. As the leader
of an Aristocratic party, Sir Robert Peel is unrivalled. His
tact and address are equal to any party emergency—except
where vigorous resolution, or popular sympathies, are required.
( From the Standard )
This Archbishop of Dublin, it has been seen, last night pre-
sented a petition from sixty persons, one half of them laymen,
praying for an alteration its the Liturgy and Articles of the Es-
tablished Church. His Grace did not mention the names of
the thirty who ate not laymen, and who signed the petition ; we
are, therefore, unable to guess whether they are clergymen dis-
tinguished by piety, moral conduct, genius, and learning. For
modesty they clearly are not very remarkable, or they, thirty in
number, would not come forward to arraign 10,000 or 12,000 of
their brethren, as well as heir predecessors for more than 200
years, either of fully or hypocrisy in subscribing to improper
Articles and a faulty Liturgy. We should like to see the names
of the thirty who set up their judgment against the judgment
or the Reformers, of lisher,Walton, Taylor, Tillotson, Stilling-
fleet, Barrow, Warburton, Sherlock, Butler, and the other
great lights of the Church, to say nothing of our lay divines,
beginning with Milton, who, thatOt through life, upon political
grounds, an enemy to the tartiporal Establishment of our
Church, adopted its Liturgy and Articles as his rule of faith in
his closing hind his most serious years.
( From the courier.)

The Anti-Corn-law people held yesterday, what we may
n.rw surely assume to be, their last field-day for the present
season. We may stale, withi.ut fear of contradiction, that in
the main a more stupidly conducted debate never annoyed a
jaded House, or tasked the industry and aekeowledgod talents
of the gentlemen condemned to the tedioas drudgery of re-
porting it. We appeal to those gentlemen—of whom there is
not one perhaps not better conversant with the merits of the
subject, and much more eloquently qualified to illustrate them
than either Mr. Villiers or any one of his supporters of the
evionine—whether within their experience a more abortive,
mawkish, and wearisome affair, ever taxed their physical and
mental energies to the same extent ol time ? %%hetherMr. Villiers
gave utter..nc2 to one novel conception, or oven burni. hed up
an old one with a new fac .? Whether Mr. Easthope was not
must prosaically dull in a repetition Lf no meanings ; Sir
Henry Parnell more than commonly, even for him, inconse-
quential ; Mr. Warburton's general presumptuous pertness ever
less amusing ; or Lord John Russell's trimming oratory ever
more vapid and stale, whilst as usual equally pompous and pre•
tenticus? Our morning contemporaries appear to have come to
the sam e cone! usions with ourselVe2, and one and all consign this
Corn-lAw debate to the fleeting Immortality of Parliamentary
summaries, not even excepting the Chronicle itself, which laid
on extra power for the occasion in the House, as well as out in
the reports, and yet has failed to get up the steam.

How TO REGAIN A LOST BATTLE.--At
Dant zic, where we were to remain a couple of nights, we lodged
at the Russian Hotel, the moct considerable in the place. On
being shusvo into the large eating room I was struck with two
pictures; the subjects of which were battles lost by the Russian
ttoops, who were represented in groups of dead and dying, or on
their knees supplicating mercy or the victorioes Prussians. I
was so seandalizod at the figure my countrymen here made, in
the sight of travellers of all nations who frequented this betel,
tha, I seriously set about upbraiding M. Rebender, our Charge
d'Affaires, for allowing such an abominable monument of our
disgrace to exist. He gravely replied that it was quite out of
his province to redress grievances of such a nature. As soon 13
our Resident left us, I commissioned two gentlemen, MM.
"Woltelikoff and Schtellin—both belonging to our Embassy at
Berlin, whither they afterwards accompanied us—to buy me
vale oil colours, blue, green, red, and white; and as soon as
.r was over, and we had well barricaded the doors, these
knew how to hanele a 1 encil, ass' ' '
