INQUEST ON MR. THOMAS RUSSELL,
COUNTY MAGISTRATE.
Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the
Victoria Tavern, Mornington-road, Camden-town, on
the body of Thomas Russell, Esq., aged 73, a church
trustee and chairman of the bench of magistrates for the
St. Pancras division.
Thomas Smith, Esq., of Haverstock-hill, was chosen
foreman, and the remainder of the panel consisted of
vestrymen and directors of the poor of St. Pancras. The
body of the deceased gentleman lay at his late residence,
53, Albert-street, Mornington-crescent.
Harriet Bloom said that she had been housekeeper to
Mr. Russell, who was a single gentleman, for the last 17
years. lie left home on Monday morning about eleven
o'clock, and she heard no more of him mail about four
o'clock in the afternoon, when she was informed of what
had happened, and that his body was on its way to his
late residence. Deceased had an nttack of apoplexy
about two years since, and from that time he appeared
more forgetful. and had but indifferent health.
Charlotte Farnan, the wife of a whitesmith, of Little
George-street, Hampstead road, gave evidence touching
the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Russell,
as detailed in yesterday's paper.
Mr. John Christian Day said he was a surgeon, resid-
ing at 42, Robert-street, Hampstead-road; he was called
about half-past 3 o'clock on Monday. On reaching the
house in Little George-street he found deceased on his
knees in the closet, and a man holding him up in his
arms. He was quite dead. He had since made a post
mortem examination. The brain was congested and
highly vascular. There had been previous inflammation
of the brain, but no sign of recent disease. There was
great opacity of the arachnoid, and the brain was
softened all over. The heart contained a great mass of
fluid blood, was much dilated, and exceedingly vascular.
It was a very large muscular heart. The lungs were
gorged with blood, although no vessel had given way in
the chest. He had no doubt whatever, from the state of
the head and chest, that death had resulted from
apoplexy. Mr. Tunalley, his medical adviser, had
stated that he saved him two years ago from an attack
by bleeding.
The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death."

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SoMNAMBULIOL—On
Thursday morning week, about three o'clock, a butcher, re-
siding near Whaley-bridge came to the house of a neighbour
residing about a mile distant, and, after calling him up, told
him that his youngest son, a youth about seventeen years of
age, and two others whom he named, had just before been at
his house, and after calling him out of bed fired a loaded
pistol at his head with an intention to murder his. lie was
expostulated with on the improbability of such a charge, as
the son alluded had not been out of the house during that
night, but the butcher stormed and would not be satisfied, and
went away declaring he would inform the police and have them
apprehended forthwith. About eight o'clock the accused's
father walked over to the butcher's house to hear the parti-
culars of so serious a charge, but, he not being in the house,
he mentioned the matter to his wife, who seemed thunder-
struck with astonishment and surprise, and said that her
husband was subject to " walking dreams," and on the
night in question she was dirturbed in her sleep by her hus-
band pulling off his clothes to get into bed. When she
asked what he had been doing up at that time of the night,
he replied that ne had been to the shippon to see that the
cows were all right. She thought no more of it, but went to
sleep; and when she got up in the morning to milk the cows,
was surprised to find them all loose in the shippon, with the
exception of one, which bore visible marks of ill-usage in-
flicted with a strong stick, which lay close by, and which
had been taken out of the house the same night. Seeing
this, it at once occurred to her that he had had one of his

spoonsfuls to the child, not thinking that it would cause
death. The coroner strongly condemned the practice of
giving laudanum to children, and for some time the jury

Special Jury.)
HART V. BRADBURY AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by Henry Hart to recover
damages from Nltskirs. Bradbury and Evans, the pro-
prietors of Punch, fora libel published in that humorous
publication.
Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Bovill, were for the
plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins,
were for the defendants.

There were three counts in the declaration, the first
charging the publication of a specific libel, to which the
defendants pleaded that they had made the publication
without malice, and had subsequently published an
apology, and had paid 51. into court as damages. The
other two counts charged the defendants with publishing
an ironical caricature of the plaintiff, and that the apology
was not bond
.fide, but that it was in reality a continua-
tion of the libel. To both these counts the defendants
pleaded not guilty.
The present action arose out of these circumstances.
The plaintiff, who is. of the Jewish persuasion, had been
taken into custody for inciting a young man, named
Newland, to rob his employers; and, it will be recol-
lected, that about the same period another Jew, named
Barnett, • was charged with a similar offence. Upon the
trial of the plaintiff, it turned out that Newland had told
a great many lies upon the matter, and as his evidence
was not corroborated, in any measure, the jury ac-
quitted him. The • other man, Barnett, however, was
convic:ed, and he was sentenced to he transported for
fourteen years. It appeared that before the trial some
comment had been made upon the conduct of the plaintiff
in Punch, and it was for these comments that the present
action was brought. • The defendants, it appeared, sub-
sequently published an apology, and in the same number
there was a humorqus caricature, repreienting a Jew
old clothesman, with a little boy, outside a
pawnbroker's shop, and it was contended that the de-
fendants had made-an ironical apology, and published a
malicious caricature,. with the intention of still injuring.
the plaintiff. . •
Mr. CHAMBERS, in addressing the jury for the defen-
dant, said, that although Punch had now been in exis..
tence a great many' years, and had been read with
amusement and delight -by millions during that period,
this was the first time the proprietors of this talented and
clever publication had ever been charged with publishing
a malicious libel. They had exposed the follies and
vices of the day, and had even invaded the domestic
peace of Mr. and Mrs. Caudle, it was true, but no one
had ever yet imputed to them a desire to do more than
expose, in a witty and funny manner, those vices and
follies. No class of the community, from the highest to
the lowest, had escaped, when the circumstances justified
it, the attack of the witty pens of the writers in Punch,
and he had no doubt that among his own profession, at
'all events, many,gentlemen had winced a little at the ad-
ventures of Mr. Briefiess.—(Much laughter.) The only
object they had in view was to expose folly and vice;
and he contended that although in the present instance
the strict liMits of the law might have been exceeded, yet
that the injury, under the circumstances, must have been
of the most trifling description, and was amply compen-
sated by the amount that had been paid into Out. With
regard to the two latter counts, he contended that the
caricature did not apply to the plaintiff, but to the other
man I3arnett; and With regard to the apology, he sub-
mitted that although written in the humorous style ap-
propriate to Punch, - yet that it ivas truly and really 'an
apology, and that upon neither of these counts was the
plaintiff entitled to damages.
Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up the case, the
jury, after deliberating some time, returned a verdict for
the plaintiff—Damages 101., in addition to the 5/. paid
into Court. • •
CROWN SlDE.—(Before the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE.)

THE BURGLARY AT UCKFIELD.
William Brooks, 30, labourer, John Smith, 25, labourer,
James Smith, his brother, 17, basketmaker, Thomas
Morgan, 30, shoemaker, William Hillyer, 25, labourer,
and Joseph Carter, 24, labourer, were indicted for bur-
glariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Susan Farncomb, and stealing bank-notes, plate, and
other property, of the value of 3001., and Elizabeth
Oliver was charged with feloniously receiving a portion
of the stolen articles, knowing them to have been stolen.

Mr. Johnson conducted the prosecution. None of
the prisoners were defended by counsel.
Mr. JOHNSON, i❑ opening the case to the jury, said
it was ore which had attracted a good deal of atten-
tion, not only in this county, but in the kingdom, on
account of the circumstances connected with it, and
the daring character of the offence. It was a
most painful thing to see, as would be made clearly
to appear by the evidence, a desperate gang of per-
sons banded together to commit the most desperate
crimes, and who, ha was afraid, would not even have
stopped at the shedding of blood, if they had met with
any opposition to their proceedings. The ease would
also exhibits system of organization among the parties,
a knowledge of the face of the country, and the habits of
persons living in lonely positions, and, a rapidity of com-
munication by the different members of the gang, which
was really most surprising and alarming. The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to narrate the facts of the case,
and the following evidence was adduced:—

James Ilernilt-c4 who was brought from the gaol in
custody, said—l lived at Christaese last upon Woking-
common, in Surrey. I knew all the prisoners at that
time except Carter. Just Mere Christmas Hißyer was
at my house, and he went away to a place called Shot-
ter's Mill, in Surrey, to fetch Morgan, and I expected a
man named John levities to come to my house from
Reading. Hillyer and Morgan did not come back as
was agreed, but Isaacs did come, and on the Monday
after Christmas-day we two started to go to Eden-
bridge, where we expected to moot some other
men. We were to meet at a house near that town, which
was about 30 miles from Woking. Daring the night we
fell in with James and 'John Smith, near Betchwortb,
and they agreed to accompany us on the errand we were
going. We did not find, either Brooks or Carter at the
town, but soon afterwards I saw Brooks, and he took us
into a beck lane, were we found Morgan and Ilillyer.
Elizabeth Oliver Was also there, and she had a child
with her. We remained in the town till the middle of
the day. This was the 31st of December. While I was
in the barn I saw two pistols, one largo and the other
small. They were both loaded with ponder and pieces
of lead, which were made flat by the teeth. It was then
arranged that some of the party should go that night
and rob a house in the neighbourhood, and Morgan.
Hillyer, Carter, John Smith, and Isaacs wont away for
that purpose. We went away from that place eight or
nine miles, and the others were to meet us at a house
that night, but they did not come. The next morning we
found the five men'who had gone away in a wood, sitting
round a fire, and I saw a plum cake and a bottle of
wine, and Brooks said they had broken open a public•
house at Old Pie-corner. He also said that there was
another robbery to be done that night, and we
were all to meet at Crowborough Forest, about three or
four o'clock that day. We did all meet again in the
forest, and we then all prepared masks, arid it was stated
that at night we were to go and rob a lady's house.
Morgan wore a red mask. liillyer's was black, and the
other men all had on white masks. When all the pre-
parations had been made Isaacs, Carter, and myself,were
sent to look about if the place was clear.' Miss Fern-
comb's house is about eight miles from the forest, and
was lighted up when we got there, and it was arranged
that when we saw all the lights out we were to go back
and join the other men. We did so, and we all got to
the house again between two and three o'clock in the
morning. We went into a little ditch by the side of the
plantation, and there we took off' our coats, waistcoats,
and shoes, and put on our masks, and James Smith went
a little way along the road to see if an was quiet. When
I got up to the house I found that the others had forced
open the dairy window, and we then all went into the
kitchen, and where some of the men put on coats
that they found there. I pot on a coat and a
woman's white apron, and Carter and Brooks each
put on a female's bonnet, which they found there.
We all hid our masks on. There were two pairs
of stairs leading to the upper apartments. Isaacs,
Brooks, John Smith, and me went up u one of the stair-
cases, and the oteer prisoners went up the second one.
We immediately burst into one of the bed-rooms, and I
saw two ladies. I only saw one first, but afterwards I
saw two. We had all bludgeons in our hands. I don't
know which of the party had the pistols. John Smith
gave me a candle to hold, and he then ordered one of
the ladies to give him the keys of the drawers that were
in the room, saying at the same time, that he was come
after money, and money he would have. The lady
then handed him her keys, and b©
went to the
drawers, some ho unlocked, some be burst open,
and I saw him take up a pocket-book with a good
many notes in it. The lady told him that the
pocket-book contained hank notes, and it was all the
money she had in the house. The prisoner Isaacs
then asked fur her watch, and she pointed to the
side of the room, and said it was there, and Isaacs said
it was not, and she told him if it was not, some of his
companions mutt have taken it. Isaacs then gave me
the poekete book, and he asked the lady where the silver
plate was. She replied that it was in the pantry, and I
was then left to guard the room while the others went
down to get the plate. I soon afterwards heard another
room burst open, and a lady screamed out, " Oh dear, oh
"
dear; is that you William? I called out, Yes, ma'am,
it is William; there is nothing the matter." The
moment I said this Carter presented a pistol at me.
and was about to fire, when I made myself known, and
he desisted. I then beard the lady say in the room,
•'There is 251. and a crooked sixpence." The other
men then continued to rummage about the house, and I
heard the lady threatened with violence if she made any
noise. We then left the house, taking with us some
hams, cheese, wine, bread, and other articles of food, and
also a great quantity of property. We had taken a gun
and cutlass from the house, but we threw them both
away when we had got a short distance. We all pro-
ceeded to a wood, near Crowburgh Common, and about
a mile from the house of a man named Edwards, where
we had left the woman Oliver and her child, and we di-
vided the booty in the wood. Before we did this, Isaacs,
unknown to the others, asked me to give him the notes,
and he would give me half what ho got for them, and I
geve iarn all of tie•m except one. which I kept beck for
myself. The plate was. all locked over. It consisted of
forks and spoons, and it was all put into a basket, and I
understood was to be taken to London to be sold. We

only divided 11. 7s. 6d. at this time, but I had another
sovereign soon afterwards. We remained in the wood
until between nine and tea in the morning of the 2d of
January, and then we separated, and the two Smiths and
me went to Groombridge. We had a good deal of beer
at this plr.ce, and I got tipsy, and dropped a sovereign.
and John &mita took it, and would not return it, and I
gave him in charge for it, but the next day I would not
press the charge. I was taken into custody soon after-
wards, and a coat, my mask, some jewellery, and the 51.
note, were found in my possession.
The prisoners put some questions to the witness, but
did not elicit anything favourable to them, and they then
declared, with great violence, that all he had said was
false.

Miss Susan Farnoomb said—On the 23 January I
occupied Woodland House at Uckfield, with my three
sisters. I retired to rest about ten o'clock at night on
the Ist of January, and occupied a room by myself. I
had been to sleep, and about three in the morning I
heard a breaking noise, and almost at the same moment
three men rushed into my room, and one of them came
up to me and said, " Your money or your life," and he
at the same time added that if I screamed or rang the
bell I should be instantly dead. Tho men all" had masks
on. They brought a light with them. I hold out my
purse, and one of the men took it, and said that was
right. It contained four sovereigns, some half
sovereigns, and some silver. One of the men had a
white coat on, but I cannot identify any of the pri-
soners. While this was going on in my room I heard
my sister Mary scream. She was ill at the time. I
begged to be allowed to go to my sister's room, but the
man who was at the door at first refused to permit me,
but at last I ventured to get past him, and went to her
room. I found some more men there, and heard them
asking her for. her money or her life, and I saw her give
them a pocket-book containing several 51. and one 101.
Lewes notes. I also saw her give them some trinkets
and rings. One of the rings was a very valuable dia-
mond one. It was worth seventy guineas.
The witness then identified some articles ofitiAller7
found in the possession of the prisoners when they were
taken into custody.
Miss Emily Farnoomb said—l occupied another room
with my sister Charlotte. Our bed-room door was
suddenly forced open and five men with masks on came
in, and I saw a pistol in the hand of one of them. I
cannot identify any of the prisoners. I gave the men
my dressing-case. It contained 201. in gold and notes of
the Lewes Bank.

Thomas Wood said—l was butler to the Misses
Farncomb at the time of the robbery. About half-past
nine o'clock on the night of the Ist of January I secured
the house and fastened the outer gates, and I went to
bed about half-past ten. I occupied a room at the back
of the house. I was awoke by some one trying to open
the door. I challenged them but received no answer,
and instantly afterwards the door was burst in and five
men entered the room. I had jumped out of bed to
get my gun, when one of the men struck me on the
shoulder with a pistol and ordered me to get into
bed again. It was a large horse pistol that ho struck
me with. I got into bed as they ordered me, and
one of the men then demanded my watch and
money, and I gave them to him. They then demanded
my keys. The prisoner Aster is the man who did so.
lie had a woman's bonnet on, but I recognise him by
his voice, and I am sure he is the man. He was left as
a guard over me, and I should think he was under my
observation for an hourdand a half. While he was so
engaged, he talked to me, and said he had known me

They took up a writing-desk, and were about to break

business. Some of the men then left my room, and I
heard another door burst open, and one of the ladies
screamed. The prisoner Carter was standing guard
over me at the time, and I begged him to go and see
that his companions did not hurt the ladies. Shortly 1
after this one of the men came back, and he and Carter
pulled me out of bed, and ordered me to go ydroovi
them where the plate was. I asked permissionlO put
my shoes on, and Carter made use of a vulgar expremion,
and said that he did not wear any shoes, and he did not'
see why I should. I than accompanied them down
stairs, and heard the rattle-of plate in the pantry, and I
saw some men taking the plate out of a drawer, and put-
ting it into an apron. 'I was then taken up again to my 1
bedroom, and iu about half an hour I heard the men
leave the house, and as soon at' was able I proceeded
to Uckfield to obtain assistance.'
'''.
The witness was then shown a variety of articlei;i6on-
sitting of clothin% and other property, taken froauthe
premises, all of which he identified as having been stolen
on the night in question.

A great number of witnesses were then called in order
to confirm the evidence of the accomplice, and the evi-
dence as regarded most of the prisoners appeared to be
of a very conclusive character. It was shown that they
were all in company at the lime in question, and they
were traced in different parts of the county, going in the
directio❑ of the house of the prosecutriz, and it also
appeared that the portions of the stolen property which
had been produced and identified, were found in their
possession. It also appeared that when the woman
Oliver was taken into custody fifteen sovereigns were
found concealed upon her person. Mr. Morton, the
superintendent of the Tunbridge-wells police, and Mr.
Hollington, the chief officer of Guildford, who were the
officers employed in the case, appeared to have been
most zealous in getting up the case, and in procuring
the necessary evidence.
The prisoners, when they were called upon for their
defence, merely abused the accomplice, and said that
they were innocent of the charge.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict
of Guilty against all the prisoners, and
His LORDSHIP sentenced the men to be transported
for life, and the woman for fourteen years.
When the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner
Carter exclaimed that ho would murder the first man ho
came across when he got abroad; and Hillyer said it
was a very good thing he was now to be transported,
for he ought to have been transported long before.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 11.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
DICKENSON V. STEPHENSON.

Mr. HALL stated that this was au action for the ac
duction of the plaintiff's daughter, to which the defen
dant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Sergeant WlLam stated the case for the plain
tiff, and called,

Bethin Dickenson, who said she was the daughter of
James Dickenson, a collier, at Halton, three miles from
Leeds, and was 21 years old. She had always lived
with her father and mother, and helped in the house-
hold affairs. Stevenson was a farmer and joiner at
Halton, and a man of property. She first became ac-
quainted with him when they went with an old woman
to tho Union Workhouse at Carlton, in November, 1849.
Mr. Green, the overseer, had suggested that defendant
should take her in his tax cart; but the defendant got a
close cab. Witness and the old woman rode inside, and
the defendant on the outside, with the cabman. They
got the old woman there, and left her, and when they
came back, the defendant got in the inside. After going
three or four miles, they stopped at the Wheatsheaf to
bait. They then got into the cab to start again, and
be pulled up the window shutter, and began to take
liberties with her, and he finally effected his purpose.
She had a child in August last. The defendant is the
father—she never in her life had to do with any man but
him. She is the eldest of her father's family. De-
fendant is married, and has seven children.
Several witnesses having given this witness a good
character,

Mr. WATSON (Mr. Hugh Hill with him) addressed
the jury for the defendant. He commented on what he
called the extreme improbability of the case, and said
he would call witnesses.

Mr. Sergeant WILKINs having addressed the jury in
reply to the defendant's case,
Mr. Justice CRESWELL summed up, and
The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 501.
CROWN COURT.

Charles Darby. 27, and Alfred Boardman, 17, were
charged with stealing a gelding, the property of
Alexander Parker, on the 21st of December last, at
Heeley, near Sheffield.
It seemed that on the previous day a servant of the
prosecutor's had placed the pony in a field of his master's,
and on going next morning to the field he missed it. In
consequence of information, he afterwards wont to Mot-
tram, and in a Acid there he saw his master's pony; he
came back to Heeley, and again started to Hyde, in
Cheshire, where he again saw it.

Another witness deposed that on the morning spoken
of he met the two prisoners, each on a horse close by
Mottram; the witness asked if the horses were on sale,
and Darby answered that they wore, and after some fur-
ther conversation the witness bought it for 21. ss. bridle
and all. After the sale the two prisoners went on to-
wards Ashton, and the witness took the pony home.
When apprehended, on the 11th of January, and having
had the charge made, Darby stated that he bad sold the
pony, and that Boardman had stolen it, and had given
him 10s. to sell it. The other prisoner made exactly the
like htatement when he was taken.

Mr. SEYMOUR. endeavoured to support the story told
by his client, but failed, and the jury convicted both
prisoners.

for a similar offence, that of stealing a mare,
The prisoner Darby was tried upon another indictment
the pro-
perty of James Callaghan, at Sheffield, on which he was
again convicted.
On being sentenced, his LORDSHIP transported Darby
for ten years, and ordered Boardman to be imprisoned
for six months.
Edward Grimston was indicted for the manslaughter
of Joseph Garrick, at Milford, on the 2nd January last.
It appeared that on the 23d December a luggage train
left York about four, P.M., the prisoner acting as guard;
there were twenty-two waggons, variously laden, two of
wh;eh had tirribur on them. The train got s-,felv to the
~11 Milford junction, where the Leeds and Selby Railway
joins the York and North Midland; there they lett two
waggons, and want up the incline with the remaining
twenty to Bank Top, a distance of sena miles, Behiud

the last waggon there was a break van, in which the
prisoner was when the twenty waggons went up.
These were left in a siding at Bank Top, and the
engine was dispatched to fetch up fourteen other
waggons, previously left at the :Milford Junction. On
descending the incline this second time, the prisoner
would not take the break van, although it was his duty
to have done so. When this part ,tf the train .5111 being
denim up, the coupling- ehain, between the seventh and
eighth carriage from the end, broke, and thni.e carrbges
hevocaing detached, went down the incline at a velocity of
nearly 20 miles an hour. At this time the guard was riding
on the engine, contrary to the orders by which be ought
to have been guided. When the detached catriag- s ar-
rived at the Milford Junction, they ran into a passenger
train, which was, unfortunately, standing there. They
smashed, and turned over the engine of the passenger-
train, and the d:ceased, who was acting as engineer of
the passenger-train, was thrown off, and the engine falling
upon him, be was killed on the spot.
Mr. MATHEWS argued that this was merely an acci-
dent, and that if the guard had been riding on the last
carriage, which waa laden with timber, he would not
have been safe, and that having appended the usual red
light at the end of the last carriage, and having taken
all usual precautions, it wot.ld be hard, indeed, if the
jary should construe that which, after all, was but an
unfortunate accident, into a case of mansh. ughter. The
rails wet° excessively greasy that night, and it was
doubtful whether, in any event, had the break been put
on, it would have stopp d the ttain, though it would
have checked its speed very greatly
The jury, after a short retirement, acquitted the pri-
soner, but, in 'doing so, expre std a strong feeling of
regrei that more care bad not been taken, when the
train was at the Milford-station, to ste that the coupling
chaias were properly and safely adjusted.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—To hold office is one thing, to govern the
country is another. Office is the immediate gift of the
Crown, and Government is as immediately the gift of
the Legislature. The two functions are supposed to be
united in a Cabinet. When the Queen's Ministers the
other day presented themselves to Parliament with the
gratifying intelligence that, in consequence of the Duke
of Wellington's judicious advice, they had received a
fresh expression of her Majesty's confidence, one part of
their authority might be said to be complete. But, it
was a part which bad never been withdrawn, or even
touched, and the other part, viz., their Parliamentary
sanction unfortunately had been damaged and has not
yet been repaired. 'There has been no expression of
confidence on the part of the Legislature corresponding
to that on the part of the Crown. The House of Com-
mons has not sent for the Commander-in-Chief. It has
had recourse to nobody. It has neither taken counsel,
nor subjected its difficulties to any searching and com-
prehensive deliberation. It really has done nothing ex-
cept hearing what was to be said with some degree of
curiosity, as much perhaps as the public in general felt on
the subject, but with no anxiety to arrive ate practical con-
clusion. Up to Tuesday night it might be fairly asked
whether the House of Commons had taken back Lord
John Russell or not, On Monday the tripping way in
which the Naval Estimates ran through to the ninth
vote, with scarcely even anything to call for a division,
looked like even an excess of Parliamentary confidence.
Bet, on Tuesday there came the old test—a motion by
an independent Reformer, and at once it was evident
that Lord John Russell could neither retrain his more
impetuous supporters, nor muster his more quiet ones.
His wild elephants and his tame ones aro equally un-
manageable. Half his usual supporters are pursuing
their own hobbies, and the remaining half don't care to
stop them. The reins of Government are at the mercy
of any one bold enough to grasp them. It was Locke
King the other day; Lord Duncan on Tuesday; and, in
a few days, as likely as not, it will be any one who
chooses to propose any amendment on any Budget Sir
Charles Wood may happen to select. Such a crisis cad
hardly fail to encourage private enterprise, as many a
youngster who would have been rolled in tho dust had
he ventured to come across the path of a powerful Mi-
nister may now snatch a triumph with very little
trouble. The wonder is that there are not more aspi-
rants for ephemeral and perhaps permanent distinction.
Before such facts as the divisions we have lately
witnessed in the Commons, mere speculations on the
causes of this portentous downfall are of very little im-
portance. A man suddenly reduced from affluence to
proverty is seldom very anxious to retrace the history
of his ruin. But a glance at the past may help us to the
futuie. The present Cabinet never had what the French
call an absolute majority. So long as Peel lived and
had followers, they supported Lord John Russell against
the Proteetiouists, who supported his Lordship on their
part against Sir Robert Peel. The various sections of
independent Reformers also gave his Lordship a sup-
port in the infancy of his Administration, while its
overthrow would probably have involved their own
banishment to the Opposition, which they no longer
feel to be necessary for self-preservation. They may
cow be too secure, but they du not seem to think any
great principle at stake in the maintenance of the
Russell Administration. Thus, that general disrup-
tiote_or rather destruction of parties, which has left
the Whigs the only body at all competent to power is
itself ono source of their difficulties. If the Pro-
tectionists, " Peelites," and Reformers are severally
too few to be formidable rivals, they are themselves re-
leased from their former apprehensions, and have thereby
lost their chief inducement to a strenuous support of the
Whig Premier. Why should they trouble themselves
about him?—they say. Why needlessly compromise
themselves by supporting a man who is too liberal for
one party, and too conservative for the other? In fact,
Lord John has attained the safe but inglorious dignity
of a jests milieu Minister, and though that position is
less scandalous in this country than in France, it brings
to Lord John the usual allowance of wanton opposition,
common indifference, and precarious support. When the
past and the present both prove that the real malady of
the Cabinet is the want of a party, it is evident that if
anything is to be done it must be the formation of a
party. That Lord Johu should find himself destitute
in this important respect is by no means surprising
when we remember how much industry, talent,
and good fortune have usually been required for
it. The cry of Parliamentary Reform, or the reac-
tion from an old Tory policy, or " the Church in
danger," or the demand for cheap bread, or corn- other
watchword, sustained with great labour out of doors, as
well as in the walls of Parliament and in the registration
courts, are some of the means by which majorities have
been gradually created snd organized. Some strong
feeling or some great utility is required for the purpose.
Once in power, the strongest majority will dwindle away,
unless it be kept up by the excitement of a bold policy,
by a constant succession of striking measures, by some
common terror, and last, but not least, by a judicious use
of the patronage at the disposal of Government. Even
if Lord John had possessed an absolute majority of his
own, we question whether be has done his utmost to
cherish it; but as he never had such a majority, and
has only held his place by neutralizing other forces,
his want of industry and tact as a leader have
told with still more serious effect. The party has
all along been weak, and has been gradually dissolving.
But what is to be done? A party must be made. This
operation is of course a branch of State craft, and can-
not easily be prescribed; but it will not be accomplished
by seeming to sit still, by being a visible obstruction in
the way of improvement, by resigning great measures to
other hands, by laying down no general line of policy,
and leaving the public wholly in the dark, except so far
as is wanted for the explanations of the measures in
hand. But, besides the higher duties of statesmanship,
there is one matter of business, without which they are
all useless. A party in the British House of Commons
must be collected man by man, and express promises of
general support must be secured, to gather such an in-
sight into private opinions as may guide the Minister in
his treatment of minor questions. Now, we do not be-
lieve that has been done with moderate care in the pre-
sent instance. It must be done now, if a party is to be
organized, and the present Cabinet is to reconquer its
position. But, whatever the past omissions and present
duties of Government, the general body of Lord
John's supporters share the blame of its position.
They know not to what perils they expose their
principles and the State by the capricious uncer-
tainty of their Parliamentary support. Of course,
they have opinions of their own, but they were not re-
turned to Parliament just to vote for their own hobbies
and leave everything else alone. Nearly all are pledged
up to the throat to support Lord John Russell, and no
creditable reason can be given why that pledge is not
more diligently observed. After a lapse of four years a
pledge possibly loses its virtue in some minds, but we
suspect that the weakness of the pledge is generally
owing rather to the years that remain than to the
years
that have lapsed. The immediate prospect of a general
~
election would soon wake up the Ministerial side of tne
House. Yet the course it now takes is headlong for a
dissolution, about as inopportune
thisa moment. They
and unfortunate an
event as could possibly happen a
who are driving things to a dissolution—and no small
proportion of our representatives are doing so, are ha-
zarding the peace and prosperity of' this country for
many a long day oe
mere cast of a die. We don't
speak of the immediate danger to public tranquillity,
nor yet of the 2,000,0001. computed to be eaten and
swilled on every such occasion, but we refer to the simple
fact that the constitution of a Parliament elected nude-
present circumstances would present tenfold greater dif-
ficulties than what we are now suffering, ten times
greater disruption and confusioe of parties, and ten
times less prospect of a moderate but powerful Adminis-
tration.
HERALD.—We rejoice that an interval is suffered
to take place between Lord Stanley's honourable and
chivalric announcement of his policy, and the assumption
of power to which his Lordship is destined to be called
by the unanimous voice of the people. The country
and the Minister will both be gainers by the short
delay. The former will have time to weigh the en-
lightened policy of a statesman actuated by national
and patriotic motives: the latter is enabled to mature
the plans suggested in the heat of an unexpected crisis,
and to adopt his principl,,s to the varying necessitie, of
a mixed community. A period of retlecticn cannot fail
to lead to a better understanding. For . the first time,
as it were, the future Premier and the nation have been
I brought face to face, and viewed together in the spirit
I of conciliation and justice the gigantic) interests with

the declared subjects un the Ile CI '• iLs"-11
infringing upon the rights of conscience, without at-
tempting in the least degre,2 to stand Letween the
Romanist and his spiritual rcivitcr, rtithnut de-
manding the smallest sacrifice of the perfect tolera-
tion accorded to every creed and scot in the empire,
Lord Stanley would hate stopped Ante
Popery at the sacrifice of the coutiti)t.,
tutions, and of damaging the glerodis principles in
virtue of which his Queen si:s lip4iiA the throne, and
England owes its stet ngt't tied grearneas. A,, „ Pao

creed he is simply bound t tu's'k ; v. wit
have furnished arms to Rume, iu ozdet Rem, might
strike a deadly blow at spiri!'ual libz!riy upon these
shores. Lord Stanley, unlike his former Pnelite asso-
ciates, does not yet regard the Reformation as a great
calamity, or separation from Rome as a national sin.
Puseyism would, therefore, not flourish under his Ad-
ministration ; nor would confessionals be seen at Lam-
beth ; nor intolerant bishops, refusing communion with
tolerant archbishops, be in favour ; nor priests, de-
nouncing the Queen's supremacy, be deemed fit objects
for promotion. Whatever may be the country's expec-
tations from Lord Stanley in other respects, it may rely
upon his fidelity to Protestant principle, without
fear of disappointment. Lard John Ru,sell, it
is true, denounced loudly enough Tract arian
practices and Popish insolence in his Nevi, miter
letter ; but the ebullition of testing was not wulih
the ink in which it was discharged. nit cowinunitY,
painfully alive to the fact, looks in vain to the sum: esors
of the man chiefly valued as the Ministi r up, n chose
pliant principles it could in all einetvisii,s
tingly fall back; but if Popery is safe with ,Le Weig
Minister, Puseyism is in clover with the P.,elite aspi-
rants. Protestantism, rejected by both in its hour of de-
sertion and danger, seeks refuge with Lord Stanley. And
if his Lordship deserves praise for his unshaken Helity
to the Throne, is he so utterly unworthy of confidence
as his enemies would have us believe, because be professes
extreme anxiety to heal the divedons and to mitigate the
11 hardships that. allictautsie Phan one portion of the people?_
Nobody doubts (hitt thd laws of 1846 have fallen with

me-mbered accents from the Throne. and tbe necessity of

every class? What scheme for poling an end to ei.cord
anti complaint could be more monettoe and intelligent
than that which he propounded? We a e hold to say
that had Lord Stanley proof, ded to the country tht very
morning after he had delivered his lucid statement in

the Hots—se of Lords, he would have iGund his shimmer-
cial policy endorsed by nearly every int: liigent constitu-
ency in the United Kingsl;m. Men have ceased to be
cajoled by abstract theories, and are not unwilling to
settle still-vexed questions in the spirit of conciliation
and compromise. If it be true, as it is easy to prove,
that the laws of 1846 have prevented an extensive sec-
tion of the community from earning a livelihood by any
expenditure of money, time, and trouble, there exists
nowhere but.in the veriest strongholds of faction a deter-
mination to withhold such legidation as may once more
liberate the industrious limbs which it was never intended

to bind or cripple. What honest and well-intentinswd
citizen seeks to establish in the land a war of classes,
general prosperity with fearful exceptions ,to
the rule, abiding discontent, daily increasing dis-

..
loyalty, and never-ending agitation ? Have- Free-
trade Leagues and Protectionist Associations became
normal institutions of the country, and is there
never to be en end of that system of attack and
defence which, to the great scandal of the country, and
to the great injury of all calm legislation, has usurped
the functions of Parliament, and trade intimidation,
falsehood, and exaggeration instruments of public action
far more potent than facts and figures, argument and
logic? We are eeedy of repose, and crave tor a speedy
ee.tlement of . differences. Lord Stanley would have
Ivedtranqiiilli,iy within our reach, and put au end at
ce lo injurious dispute.
,Zlthout,pc!ntesting the wig-
em Of .established Jim, he woul.WieAdnauded the
ill
deptation of an existing policy to the present exigen-
cies of men. His would have been the' task to heal the
wounds inflicted upon society by the sudden, indiscrimi-
nate, and wholesale legislation of 1846; and to conclude
that the community at large would not have helped to
consummate the happy work is to exhibit ignorance in-
deed of the sublime character of a nation, not without its
share of fault ,and weakness, but remarkable, above 1111
thinlp, Mr les love of honesty and its matchless sense
Of justice. Nor would Lord Stanley's method of pro-
ceeding have proved less acceptable to the country be-
cause it involved, amongst its other consequences, the
immediate removal of a tax the most iniquitous ever de-
vistd to afflict patient industry and to rub poverty of the
first results of its prudence. Against the renewal of the
income-tax in its present form, and with a view to its
complete and speedy abolition, Lord Stanley would have
directed his first financial efforts. His Lordship has
long been known to eurertain _ a virtuous antipathy

against a modo of levying taxation which the country
tolerated at first only as a temporary expedient, and
which its author tecommended at a time of difficulty to
meet a special emergency. It would be idle to point
out to a community suffering at all points from the
grinding operation of the income•tax, the nature of the
grievance against which they so loudly complain, and
from whose ores,uro it would have bean the first object
of Lord Stanley's Governmet,t to relieve them; tut it is
quite to the purpose to remind them, that the very ear-
liest intimation that came to the country from any

public man of the urgent necessity of relieving it from
the insupportable tax in question proceeded from the
lips of a nobleman whose anxiety for the well-being
of agriculturists is equalled only by his earnest desire to
support in the empire, without tear or favour, the in-
dustrial interests of all. The division that took place
on Tuesday last with reference to Lord Duncan's
motion, presenting as it does one more instance to the
many already afforded of the utter impossibility of pro-
tracting the present state of things beyond a few weeks
longer, renders the late manifesto of Lord Stanley an
object again of national regarsi, and the future move-
ments ut his Lordship matter of general solicitude. The
time is fast approaching when au appeal to the country
will be inevitable. A stable Government is required,
and the will of the people needs once more to be un-
equivocally cxpresed. The latter once emphatically
uttered, the former will not long be wanting. We have
no fear in committing the language of the Conservative
chief to the thoughtful consideration of the masses. It
is time to secure the foundations of the national faith and
to unite conflicting interests—to reconcile all classes to
the law, and to turn the attention of Parliament from
the warfare of parties to the vast reforms in the social
condition of the masses which crave the harmonious
action and the perfect repose of legislators. We cannot
advance an inch in social ameliorations until ill-blood is
stopped. Lord Stanley shows how we may staunch the
wounds of no unimportant member of the State with
perfect justice to the rest of the body politic.

SUSPECTED MURDER Al BRIXTON
NEAR PLYMOUTH.
The village of Brixton, about three miles from Ply-
mouth, on the Totnes-road, has just been the scene, it
is feared, of a very extraordinary murder. On Friday
morning last, a young man, named John Bunker,
aged about nineteen, a farm- servant to Mr. Rowe. of
Ilalwell-farm, in the parish of Brixton, left the farm-
yard, with a cart and two horses, for the purpose
of going to a lime-kiln for a load of lime ;
but shortly afterwards his body was found in
an orchard belonging to his master, quite dead, hang.
ing by a halter to an apple-tree. It appears that the
attention of a man who was going to his work, when
two or three fields from the orchard, was attracted
by the cries as of some one in great fear or pain,
and that, following the direction of the cries, which by-
and-by ceased altogether, the man came to the orchard,
and after a brief search found the body of Bunker
as
described. The appearance of the body induced the be-
lief that a severe struggle had taken place before the
poor fellow was suspended to the tree, and it is said that
there were some spots of blood on his dress. It was
known that young Mr. Rowe entertained feelings of
hostility towards the deceased, arising, it was stated,
out of the latter having been witness to an occurrence
which the former did not wih should become known,
and to procure silence on which it is turther said that
he had given Bunker a sovereign; at all events, it is
known that the deceased had propagated a story to this
e
effect, and that in consequence, about a week sine Mr.
Rowe bad gone to the magistrate's clerk at Yealmipton,
with the view of taking proceedings against him for de-
famation of character, and had induced that gentleman
to write deceased a letter on the subject. At an inquest
before A. Bone, Esq., the coroner for the county of
Devon, on Saturday evening, these facts were stated,
and also that bruises on the body were perceptible when
it was tektn down from the tree, anti it was evident
that before quitting the road where the horses and cart
were left standing, the poor fellow had been upon his
knees. The circumstances were so suspicious that the
coroner ordered Rowe into custody, and adjourned the
inquest.

ROYAL A --ItTILLERY..---WOOLWICII, MARCH 11.---
TUe whole of the Royal Artillery in garrison assembled yes-
terday morning on the guard mounting parade, but the day
being wet, to they were marched to the riding-school,
wit-
ness the presentation of good conduct medals to the deservirg
non-commissioned officers and gunners and drivers to whom
they have been awarded, i the Ro- at Artillery corps, for the
pr sent year. Lieutenant-General Sir Th. mas Downman,
C.8.,K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, previous t., the
distribution of the medals, addressed the whole of the non-
commissioned officers and men in t a most feeling manner,
and expressed his great satisfaction with the general good
conduct of the regiment. He said be had now been an of-
ficer of the Royal Artillery for the long period of 48 years,
and he had never known a higher degree of moral discipline
and excellent conduct than exists at present, and has done
for a considerable period. The crime of drunkenness, he was
glad to say. was greatly reduced, and all its attendant evils
had consequently been greatly diminished. lie was happy
t) add that the Master-General had expressed himself in
high terms of approval in alluding to the few crimes compa-
ratively which had to be reported at head-quarters. The
31aster-General and the Commandant experienced the
highest gratification in awarding guod-conduct medals, and
the gratuities to which non-commissioned office ti a d men
became entitled for their meritorious services. Brigade-
Mejor Bingham having called over the names of the 26 re-
cipients of medals at Woolwich, each man came forward,
and was presented with his gift by the gallant Lieutenant-
General.
