.PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.

Sir B. HALL presented a petition from Alarylebone,
praying for the abolition of the punishment of death.
LOWTHERSTOWN UNION.

Captain ARCHDA LL inquired of the Right Hon.
Baronet the Secretary for Ireland why the correspon-
dence relating to a complaint which he had to make
against the guardians of the above union had not been
produced ?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE replied that he had been led
to believe that the Gallant Member intended to bring
on his motion irrespective of the production of the cor-
respondence. Besides, he thought enough of the corre-
spondence was before the House to enable it to come to
a decision on the matter. When the Gallant Member
brought on his motion he should be ready to enter into
its discussion.

Captain ARCHDALL then postponed the following
motion for a week, in order that the correspondence re-
ferred to, and for which he had moved, might be
produced—namely, to bring under the consideration of
the House the allegations contained in the two petitions
of the undersigned persons, late the poor•law guardians
of the Low therstown Union, in the counties of Ferma-
nagh and Tyrone, and the undersigned ratepayers of the
Clonelly District of the Lowtherstown Union in Ire-
land (presented February 28).

THE RECENT RIOTS IN THE METROPOLIS.

Sir W. CLAY said, seeing the Attorney-General in
his place, be wished to put a question to him which was
of considerable importance not only to his constituents,
but to the inhabitants of other portions of the metro-
polis—he alluded to the damage done to property by
the recent riots. Window-breaking was carried to a
great extent ; and as the glass broken was
generally that in shop windows, the damage
perpetrated amounted to a considerable sum. He
wished to ask—first, whether the persons whose pro-
perty had been thus destroyed possessed any claim fur
compensation upon the county or elsewhere, and if so,
what was the proper legal course to adopt to recover the
amount?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that before the
Act of the 7th and Bth of George IV., remedies were
given in cases of the injury to property by riot
or otherwise; but by the provisions of that Act,
no remedy was now given except in the case
where the house was feloniously demolished,
pulled d)wn or destroyed. The cases that had been
referred to did not constitute the actual demolishing
of the premises, and he was therefore satisfied that the
parties had no remedy either against the county or the
hundred. The party themselves, however, were crimi.
nally responsible, and subject to severe punishment.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
HARWICH.
The Harwich Election Committee re-assembled at the
usual hour yesterday morning; Mr. Stuart Wortlerkin the
chair.
Mr. ANDREWS having addressed the Committee at
some length on behalf of the sitting Member, the room
was cleared, and the Committee having consulted toge-
ther for a considerable time, strangers were re-admitted,

when
The CHAIRXIN announced that the Committee had
unanimously come to the following resolutions : '
" That John Attwood, Esq., is not duly elected a
Member to serve in Parliament for the borough of
Harwich.
" That the said John Attwood, Esq., was by his
agents guilty of bribery.
"That the last election for the borough of Harwich,
so far as regards the return of John Attwood, Esq., is a
void election.

" That it was proved to this Committee that Edward
Joxley was bribed to vote for John Attwood, Esq., by
an advance of money to the amount of 41/. and upwards,
Ice: the purpose of discharging a debt due from him and
releasing his vessel, which had been seized as a security
Ice such debt. But it was not proved to this Committee
that this bribery was committed with the knowledge or
consent of the said John Attwood, Esq.
" That it was proved to this Committee that John
Harleck received 201., and James Knight received
161., under the pretence of loss of time, and
demurrage in the detention of themselves and vessels
during the election, but it was not proved to the Com-
mittee that such sums of money were paid to procure or
influence their votes for John Attwood, Esq.
"That it was proved to this Committee that there was
treating to some extent at the late election for Harwich,
but it was not proved by whose order or authority it
was supplied."
This closed the labours of the Committee.

AYLESBURY.
The Aylesbury Election Committee re-assembled at
the usual hour yesterday morning (Mr. Palmer in the
chair), when the evidence of treating was resumed.
George Sheriff proved that during the last election he,
and a number of other voters, were supplied with sup-
pers, dinners, and as much ale and porter, punch,
brandy, and gin, as they chose to drink. These
entertainments were given at the Chandos Arms,
where Mr. Bedford, an agent of the sitting Member,
usually took the chair. On one occasion Mr. Bedford
told them that Mr. Deering had determined to spend
10,000/. upon the election. The entertainments were
given to them upon the understanding that they would
support Mr. Deering; but he was surprised to find that
many of those who had been eating and drinking at his
expense voted against him.
William Friar, a shoe-maker, and elector of Ayles-
bury, gave similar evidence.
Mrs. Wheeler, of the White Lion, at Aylesbury,
proved that Mr. Deering's supporters had refreshments
at her house, for which the bill amounted to 11/. odd.
The Committee adjourned at the usual hour till 11
o'clock to-morrow.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE

---
A Mrs. Barrett, of the American theatres, made
her first appearance last night at this theatre, in the
character of Lady Teazle, which she supported
with considerable elegance of deportment and discrimi-
nation. She was very well supported by J. Cooper,
J. Vining, and Mr. Compton, as the two brothers and
Sir Peter Teazle. After the comedy, an extravaganza,
entitled Mammon and Gammon, was played for the first
time, the incidents and dialogue of which were of the
broadest description. They, however, elicited the
hearty laughter and applause of the audience, and one
of the party, that of a tender-hearted kitchen maid, was
very well played by Miss Villars, whose untiring zeal
and general intelligence entitle her to the consideration
of the frequenters of Mr. Maddox's theatre.

Lord PA.Lmi!.,Rs•rox has recently, through a diplo-
matic communication, addressed to the English
Ambassador resident at Paris, expressed his solicitude
that the members of the Provisional Government of
the French Republic should thoroughly comprehend
the sympathy entertained towards the victors of the
late Revolution by the people and the Administration
of Great Britain. The Noble Viscount has even
alluded to the hospitalities shown towards the de_
throned exile of Claremont and his illustrious, but
unfortunate family. As one of the most distinguished
of the Ministerial advisers of her Britannic MAJESTY,
and especially as her Majesty's Principal Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, Lord PALMERSTON has explicitly
declared that so far from those hospitalities being
intended in any manner as the expression
of feelings inimical to the recent movement of
French democracy, they are lavished upon LOUIS
PHILIPPE solely in a spirit of magnanimity. They
are such hospitalities, in fact, as would well have befitted
the character of Albion had they been awarded to the
ex-Emperor NAPOLEON, when lie came like THE-
IIISTOCLES to seek shelter from " the most just, the
most powerful, and the most generous of his

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
Since Monday tho arrivals of English Wheat, coast-
wil-e and by land carriage, have been small, and the
show of samples to-day was trifling. Although the
attendance of buyers was not large, the demand was
steady, at fully the advance noticed on last market day.
The best Foreign Wheat moved off freely, at very full
prices, but the middling and out-of-condition sorts were
neglected. Barley and Malt were in improved request,
at late figures. Oats, though in good supply, were firm,
at late rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were very
dull. Flour steady, but not dearer.

(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
SHEPHERD V. RATMENT.

This was an action to recover the sum of 51. 103., the
balance of an account for board and lodging.
The defendant allowed judgment to go by default,
and, on admission by the defendant as to the amount
due, a verdict was given for the plaintiff'.
The defendant's ATTORNEY then applied to the
Learned Secondary to retain the writ till next term,
in order that a motion might be made to the Court of
Queen's Bench to deprive the plaintiff of costs, under
the 129th section of the County Courts Act, the amount
recovered being under 201.
The Learned SECONDARY said that he did not con-
sider he had power to stay the writ on such grounds,
and could only do so where the verdict was not, in his
opinion, in accordance with the evidence, or where some
informality appeared on the proceedings. An applica
tion, however, could be made to a judge at Chambers
who bad the power to order a stay of the proceedings.
The point was ono of considerable importance, three
being several cases pending for the decision on the above
point.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Assistant-Judge, Mr. Sergeant ADAMS.)
THE BUSINESS OF TAE COURT.—The grand jury
came into court about eleven o'clock, and complained
that they had no bills to go on with.
The JUDGE ordered the police in attendance as wit-
nesses to be all called into court, when he told them it
was quite scandalous that when there were so many im-
portant cases in the calendar there were now at eleven
o'clock only seven cases ready to go before the grand
jury. The police and the witnesses were paid for their
loss of time, and they ought to be prepared early with
their cases, and not waste the time of the juries, who
were not paid. He would not allow one shilling for ex-
penses to policemen or other witnesses in any case not
rea ly to go on et ten o'clock in the morning. ,

THAMES.

James 21PCabe was charged with stealing a large
quantity of type, and other materials used in a print-
ing-office, from the premises of Messrs. Teape and
Son, printers, Little George-street, Tower-hill.
Mr. G. T. Woodward, overseer in the prosecutor's
establishment, said that the prisoner came into their
service on Tuesday afternoon, the 18th instant. His
wages were 335. per week: His earnings last week
were 21s. 6d. only, which was paid to him on Satur-
day night. The prisoner was suspected of robbing
the firm and taking away type on the first night he
was employed in the printing-office. On Monday
night the other compositors missed type, and went
after the prisoner when he left the premises,
but he contrived to elude their vigilance.
On Tuesday night he accosted the prisoner
when he left the printing-office, and told him
he wanted to speak with him, and that he had a
strong suspicion he had been stealing letter (the
technical word for type). The prisoner hesitated,
and said, "Do you ?" He was taken back to a
warehouse on the premises, and at the time his hands
were covered over with a handkerchief, and there was
a bag in his hand which contained brass rules and
leads of various lengths. 'Witness told him he was
afraid it was not his first offence, and the prisoner
begged that he might be taken into another room
away from the officer. His request was complied
with, and he then admitted he had before taken away
letter and materials, and begged that his employers
would be lenient with him, on account of his wife
and family. The officer, Childs, was then called in,
and the prisoner was searched, and 301bs. of letter of
different founts, leads, rule, reglets, and other ma-
terials, was taken out of his pockets. Amongst it
was a page of long primer set up and forming part of
an auctioneer's catalogue, a page of brevier, and a
quantity of " pie" (loose type). He afterwards
accompanied Childs to the prisoner's lodgings, in the
neighbourhood of the Caledonian-road, Holloway,
where a circular piece of type metal, weighing 201bs.
which had been recently melted down, was found in
a cupboard. Some letter half melted was imbedded
on the top of it. The prisoner admitted that it was
the produce of what he had stolen on Monday.
The prisoner made no defence, and was forthwith,
committed for trial.

duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change; and it

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Charles Everard, assistant to Mr. Daniel I3ax,
tailor, Regent street, was charged with having plun-
dered his employer of a large quantity of property,
consisting of coats, silks, velvets, &c., and Thomas
Everard, his brother, was also charged with having
received part of the property, well knowing it to have
been stolen.

Police-sergeant Wells stated that on Thursday
afternoon he received information that a person had
left a parcel in a shop in Wardour-street, under sus-
picious circumstances. He proceeded to the shop and
examined the bundle, and finding that it contained
three new coats, he determined to ascertain if the man
who left the bundle again made his appearance,
whether they were his property. About ten o'clock
the prisoner came into the shop and demanded the
bundle he had left there in the morning. The bundle
was given to him, and he was about to leave the shop,
when he (witness) came forward and requested to be
informed of the contents of the bundle. The prisoner
ansvvercd, clothes ; and when further pressed, he said
they were coats, and that he was a tailor. The prisoner
afterwards said he had obtained the coats from his
father's house, but without his father's knowledge.
Witness said he must take him to the station-house,
as he was not satisfied with the account he had given
of the property. On their way to Vine-street, the
prisoner said it was no use concealing the truth any
longer. The fact was, he was in the employ of Mr.
Bax, and that he had taken the coats from Mr. Bax's
warehouse. Witness afterwards went to the pri-
soner's lodgings, 16, George-street, Hampstead-road,
and found a number of duplicates relating to coats
and other property. In the prisoner's room witness
found a kind of ticket with Mr. Bax's name on it,
which had been cut from the back of one of the coats.
The tickets on the backs of the coats found in the
bundle had been removed.
Elizabeth Garratt said she lived with her mother.
who kept a chandler'si, shop, 7, Wardour-street. On
Thursday morning the prisoner came into the shop,
and made some trifling purchases, and paid for them.
He asked permission to leave a bundle there for a short
time, and permission was granted. As the prisoner
had not called during the day, information of the
occurrence was given to the police, and the result was
as the last witness had stated.

Mr. Bax said the prisoner had been in his service
as assistant for about four years. The prisoner was
entrusted with the keys of the shop, and had access to
the stock. The eight coats now produced, worth 15/.,
were his property, also the silks, velvets, and serge
now produced.
The prisoner Charles Everard made no defence, and
was fully committed.

The evidence against Thomas Everard was to the
effect, that one coat had been left at the Yorkshire
Grey, in Piccadilly, and another found in the pri-
soner's house, both of which were sworn to be the
property of Mr. Bax.
The prisoner was fully committed on the charge
of receiving the coats, knowing them to have been
stolen.

PROTECTION OF TRADE.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Society
of Guardians for the Protection of Trade, established
upwards of seventy years ago, " for the protection of
traders against swindlers and sharpers," was held on
Tuesday, at the offices, 13, St. Swithin'a-lane, City,
to ballot for proposed new members, and to consider
the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an amend-
ment of the laws respecting the lending of goods on
hire ; and also as to the appointment of a public pro-
secutor, and the lessening of expenses in criminal
proceedings. Mr. Alderman Farebrother presided.
The first business proceeded with was the election
of members.
Mr. Legs, the secretary, in bringing forward the
next matter for consideration, namely, "The propriety
of: petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the
laws respecting the lending of goods on hire," re-
marked that the society had received a letter from
Messrs. Collard and Collard on the subject. These
gentlemen complained in bitter terms of the present
law of landlord and tenant, and stated that, in some
cases, landlords allowed rent to accumulate before
they seized, when there was property in the house,
although that property did not belong to the tenant,
but had been hired from other parties. Messrs.
Collard suggested that an early meeting should he
called in order to form a deputation to Lord John
Russell. Front Mr. Chappell, of Old Bond street, a
letter had also been received. That gentleman stated
that, during the last 17 years, he had been in the
habit of lending out harps and other musical in-
struments on hire, In cases where he could not get
his instruments back, his only remedy was to corn-
menee an action of trover, but the law expenses
would amount to more than double the value of the
instrument. _ _ _
