BEET BEAVER HATS TWENTY-ONE SHILLINGS.
HATS of the most approved qualities, superior colours,
elegant shapes, which never spot with rain, and of unequalled
fineness and durability, Wholesale and Retail, of the Manufacturers
and Patents,

tified the voices and persons of the prisoners when before the
Magistrates. The constable proved that the shoes of the pri-
soners corresponded with their footmarks.
The letters were produced and read. The first, found by
Mr. Hayden, after alluding to the fire, cautioned Mrs. Baker
not to be so curious. "If you do," it proceeded to say "it
will be the worse for you. I'll lay wait for you ; therefore
you had better not look about too much to find out how it is ;
for if you don't look sharp, you'll lose your life. So I advise
you not to trouble yourself any more about us, for if I no you
do, if you go out, you shan't come back again."
The second letter stated, that Mrs. Baker need not alarm
herself about the former one, as nothing would be done, and
it concluded by expressing the writer's regret a t having
written it,
Evidence was called on the part of the prisoners to prove an
alibi, which broke down upon cross-examination.
The Jury found both prisoners Guilty, and his Lordship sen-
tenced them to transportation for life. A sum of N. was or-
dered by the learned Chief Justice to be given to Mrs. Baker
as a reward for her behaviour in the transaction.
Jonathan Oxley, a labourer, aged 42, was indicted for
striking his wife, Hannah Oxley, a blow, in consequence of
which she died.
The daughter-in-law of the prisoner was called,who deposed
that she was with her mother, the deceased, in June last.
They returned between nine and ten o'clock. The prisoner
asked for his shirt. His wife answered "up stairs." The
prisOner told her she lied. The poor woman repeated that it
was up stairs. The prisoner again said "Itis a lie."
She replied, " You are a false man if you say it is not there."
The prisoner then struck her in the side with his fist. She
leaned back upon her daughter. The quarrel continued.
Shortly after the poor woman fainted, and a neighbour was sent
for, to whom she complained of a pain in her side. She died
five days after. The day before her death she expressed a
wish to see her husband, and declared that she forge' re him,
but he did not see her.
The surgical gentleman who attended the deceased, proved
that her death was caused by a rupture of the spleen.
In defence, the prisoner said he was over-mastered by his
passion. His late wife, and her daughter, he declared, had
provoked him ; he denied any intention of killing her ; he
referred to his character as a father-in-law, and asserted that
he was always kind to the girls.
He was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's im-
prisonment.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE had disposed of all the civil busi-
ness by 12 o'clock to-day.
Two of the special jury causes were settled in the course of
the morning; the third which was merely a question of pro-
perty between the sheriff and certain trustees under a bill of
sale, was tried last evening.
Joseph Bryant was found guilty of maliciously cutting and
wounding a constable of the name of Gray, an assistant con-
stable at Ridgewell, in this county.
The prisoner, in his defence, endeavoured to show that Gray
was the aggressor.
The Jury found him guilty.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he should not pass sentence
of death, but the prisoner would probably spend the remainder
of his days as a transport.

UNIVERSAL HISTORY.
By the late ALEXANDER FRASER TYTLER,
LORD WOODHOUSELEE.
As there is no Universal History now in the hands of the Eng-
lish reader, except an enormous collection, occupying thirty large
octavo volumes, the production of a compact and elegant epitome—
not prepared hastily, to meet the demand of the hour--but the re-
sult of the life-long thought and exertion of a most accomplished
man of letters--can hardly, it is presumed, fail to be considered as
filling up an important blank in the popular literature -of the day.
The remaining volumes of the HISTORY of INDIA are
nearly ready, and will appear on the first of August.

XOTICEM or woßx.
we"freloome Mr: rietther's Manual of Family Devotion. It is
:anted in Wand, and worthy of notice in Scotland. .Besidee
being in a qUarto form, and printed in a bold and clear type for the
bet of the aged, it is distinguished from other books of prayer,
by appropriate portions of Scripture, and hymns fe the itiortiiiig
and evening of every day in the year ; thiis comprising in itself a
Bible, hymn-book, and prayer-book.
Besides the general appropriateness and unction of the prayers,
there is one thing which claim's our special approbation. As might
be expected from the author, the children and the young people
in
the family are never forgotten The petitions in their behalf are
printed in italics, that they may be as sUrely Used where there are
children, as emitted where there are none.—Evangelical Magazine.
The Rev. A. Fletcher's Guide for Family Devotion. .The plan
is the moat novel and complete we have ever seen. It consists of
a selection of a hymn, (with the name of a tune to which it may
be Jung,) a portion of Scripture, reflections on the passage intended
to be read, and a prayer. All these are compressed into a quarto
page, so that the whole service is a short one. Seven hundred and
thirty of these services will be included in the volume, besides addi-
tional prayers, engravings, &c. The reader scarcely needs to be
told that the sentiments of the work are strictly eventslital,
tior
Gan he doubt its tendency to great usefulness.—Staed Star

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Earl GREY entered the House shortly before five o'clock,
and took his seat upon the Ministerial side of the House, upon
the lower front bench.
The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions in
favour of the Established Church.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
The Earl of KERRY and other Members brought up a re-
quest from the House of Commons that their Lordships would
allow Lord Cloncurry to be examined before the Committee
on the Navigation of the River Shannon. Agreed to.
Mr. PENDARVES and others brought up the Stannaries Court
Bill, the Boroughs Justices Bill, and several other Bills.
Earl GREY presented petitions from Dundee and other
places against Church Patronage in Scotland.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS ABOLITION BILL.
Lord SUFFIELD presented petitions in favour of the Ca-
pital Punishments Abolition Bill from several parishes in the
County of Essex, after which the Noble Lord proceeded to
move the second reading of the Bill. In doing so the
Noble Lord entered into a minute detail of the non-
efficacy of capital punishments, and stated that the
increase of crime within the last three years in cases
where capital punishments were continued, was 44 per cent.,
whereas, in cases where capital punishments were withdrawn,
it was two and a-half per cent. The case with respect to con-
victions was in the same ration. In cases where capital punish-
ments were continued the convictions were 72 per cent., while in
those cases where capital punishments were withdrawn, it was
only 47 per cont. Crime, therefore, had increased in cases
where capital punishments were retained, and diminished in
cases where it had been withdrawn. Under such circum-
stances he trusted their Lordships would agree to the second
reading.
The Duke of RICHMOND having presided over the
Post-office department, which this Bill most materially
affected, wished to say a few words. He entirely agreed that
it would be expedient that capital punishment should be abo-
lished, but when he considered the vast amount of letters that
passed through the Post-office daily, he thought they ought
not to begin by destroying the capital punishment be-
fore they had agreed upon a secondary punishment.—( Hear. )
Letters passed through the Post-office daily containing
many millions of money, and the regulations of that
department had no doubt sacrificed the security of the
letters to the speed in which they were assorted and sent
out for delivery, but he thought. was not too much to
ask that they should defer destroying the capital punishment
at present, and more particularly as no inquiry had been
made in the department.—( Hear.) He knew the motives
of his Noble Friend, and of those who had ori-
ginated the Bill in the other House were most humane,
praiseworthy, and deserving of great credit; but what would
be the effect upon the manufacturing and commercial interests
of this Bill passing into a law, it being the practice of mer-
chants to send up letters from the country containing
remittances to meet bills when they should become due.
He did not stand up as an advocate for capital punishments ;
on the contrary, he thought capital punishments ought not to
inflicted, except in cases where crime could be prevented, but
then they should be prepered with a secondary punishment He
thought that his Noble Friends during the recess, would
not have much difficulty in finding ont some punishment
which might deter persons from committing these crimes.—
( Hear, hear.) He believed it was the opinion of every prac-
tical officer in the Post-office, that capital punishment should
not be abolished until a secondary punishment was substituted.
Viscount MELBOURNE did not mean to say a word
upon the Bill in its then stage ; he only rose to protest against
the opinion expressed by the Noble Lord, that no Secretary
of State would carry the law into effect, because a Bill had
passed the other House. While the law remained unaltered, it
was the duty of that officer to administer it ; by granting the
proposition, the whole power of the Legislature would be
thrown into the hands of any one Houe of the Legislature.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he must go still
farther than his Noble Friend, and protest more strongly against
the doctrine, for it would not only throw the power of sus- 1
pending the law into the hands of either House, but ab-
solutely into the hands of any one Member of either
House ; that was a short-hand way of legislating
which it was not yet time to have carried into effect.—
( Hear.) There was no doubt that by Bills being left in
the state that that one was great difficulty was produced,
not to the Administration, but to the Judges. As
he had bnfore stated, it would be much better
to wait for the Report, which might be expected early next
Session from the Criminal Law Commissioners. The whole
subject would then be brought before the consideration of the
Legislature, and it would then be in a much more fit state for
discussion than the present. He would support the second
reading of the Bill, upon the understanding that all its pro-
visions should be struck out except that which abolished the
punishment of death for the offence of returning from trans-
portation.

After a few words from Lord SUFFIELD in reply, the
Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed pro
forma a second time.
Mr. O'CONNELL and others from the Commons brought
up a Message, requesting that Lord Western might have
leave to attend and give evidence before the Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause of exclusion of Daniel W.
Harvey, Esq. from the Bar.
As the Noble Lord was not present, the Lord Chancellor
informed them that an:answer would be returned them by
their own messengers.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented petitions in
favour of the Westminster Bank Bill.
The Dnke of NEWCASTLE presented petitions from.*
Nottinghamshire, which were in favour of the Es-t.
tablished Church, and against the Poor Law Amendment'
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN EARL GREY
AND THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE then rose pursuant to notice,
to move for a copy of the correspondence between Earl ,
Grey and the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, relative to
the Coercion Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord stated
consequence of which had been stated last night by the Noble
Viscount now at the head of the Government, thinking
that some good ground ought to be laid before
the House by the Government for inducing them
alter the course they considered inevitable when the Noble
-1 opposite (Earl Grey) was at the head of the Government.

the Hon. Member for St. Albans, as well as his Hon. Friend' the Member for Bridport, who was in some degree the author
of the plan, would accede to his motion. This would save
him the necessity of going into any details. He should not
be deterred from doing his duty in consequence of the ebloquy
that might be thrown on him and others on this subject relative
to the votes they might give in that House. When the proper
opportunity arrived he should be prepared to state his opinions
without fear of any obloquy that might arise from any
quarter.—( Hear.) In bringing forward a motion for saving
the time of that House, he thought he should be committing &
great error in taking up any length of their time, as it would.
but afford an additional illustration of the disadvantages of the
proposition. The Noble Lord coicluded by moving his reso-

Mr. WARBURTON rose and said he begged to gecond
he resolution—(" Hear, hear, hear I") If the result of the
measure was to be judged by:its success last night, it would have
attainened by no means the success that it merited. But
there was a difference between the plan and the manner
of its execution. He (Mr. W.) felt like an enraged musician
who had prepared a splendid piece of music to be performed
1 by a first-rate musician, when there had been nothing but
the merest catgut-scrapers.—(Loud cheering, and laughter.)
The success of the plan depended upon two things--first, the
velocity with which the;names were called out, and, secondly,
the velocity with which the names were taken down. Owing
to various obstructions, which'he would not now more particu-
larly allude to, there was no expedition in either part of the
plan, whether in the execution of the first part of the
plan--the calling the names, the obstruction was owing
to any want of readiness on the part of any of his Ho-
nourable Friends around him he would not now say,
but they had had a second trial this morning.—)Hear' hear,
hear.) The committee up stairs had predicted that
as many as one hundred names could be taken down
in five minutes. This morning he (Mr. W.) had calculated
that it took five minutes and a half to take down 100 names, and
that was not bad for a2d rehearsal. He begged to assure his
Hon. Friend on his left that he did not mean to call him a cat-
cut scraper. On the contrary he believed him to be a perfect
Paganini. He (Mr. W.) believed that his Hon. Friend would
be enabled, if the writer kept pace with him, to call out 100
names in three minutes ; but the writer had hot the flying
fingers necessary on such an occasion. From' this second
rehearsal, should the Committee choose to submit the plan to
another trial, he (Mr.:W.) did not anticipate such unfa-
vourable results. He was perfectly willing, notthowever for
the reasons stated by the Noble Lord, to assent to the propo-
sition that had just been submitted to the House.
Mr. WARD would feel it to be his duty to agree to the mo-
tion for the present Session, but he was quite sure that next
Session it must come under discussion, and then be fully con-
sidered.
Mr. HUME had felt rather disappointed in the statement
of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Warburton), because he really
thought that his Hon. Friend's expression of cat-gut scraper
was intended to apply to him; and that he intended to repre-
sent himself as the Paganini: If he had been the party to have
been characterised as the performer, he should certainly have
considered himself entitled to a rehearsal, before judgment
had been pronounced upon his performance. The fact was,
that yesterday was the rehearsal, and he had to state to the
House, that there were no clerks prepared to take down
the names in the manner in which they ought. He pro-
ceeded in the manner directed by the Chairman, in calling
the names, and when he had got to the tenth he was called
back by the clerk, who said he had not then got down the se-
cond name. When he had gone on over 20 or 30 names,
he was again called back by the writer, who was a long
way behind, and so the thing went on. He would not therefore,
say there was a failure in the plan, because the failure rested
in the assistance with which they had been supplied.
The Hon. Member for Tamworth might continue to demon-
strate his satisfaction as he now had been doing, bnt he
could tell that Honourable Member the time would come
when the music would be on the Right Hon. Gentleman's
other side. He thought he had a right to appeal to the
Noble Lord opposite, that the plan proposed now was not in
reality different to the one proposed by himself_ Ought there
not, therefore to be a room built to the eastward where they now
were, that would contain as many as the lobby, that the
plan might be properly carried into execution ? Hon. Mem-
bers might laugh, but he could assure them that they were
never more deceived, if they supposed the plan would not be gone
on with. He would, however, take the liberty' of putting
it to the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Goyernment
whether there ought not to be o new House of Commons at
once built, properly calculated for the accommodation of the
Members.--( Immense cheering.) It was unjust to
Honourable Members to condemn them to be in the
pestilential air of the present House for ten or twelve hours
a-day. The Noble Lord who had brought forward this motioa
was increasing in number of years as well as , himself—
( Laughter)--and was not now so able to bear night-work
as he had been any more than himself.—(Laughter.) What
he had said was quite correct! and he was quite sure
the Noble Lord must be sensible of it.—(Repeated laugh-
ter.) If the noble Lord would come forward with a motion
for the building of a new House, he would in an instant have
at least three-fourths of the number of the members of the
House to support him.—(Hear, hear.) An expenditure
of the sum of 25,0001., or 30,0001., in building a house
capable of properly accommodating the Members, we uld not
be worth a consideration.—)Cheers.) At least 200 Me.mbers
had asked him lately to bring forward this subject again be,fore
the House, but he had declined to do so until after he could
have an intimation that it would meet with the approbation
of his Majesty's Government. It was really too bad
that there should not be a commodious and convenient-.
House of Commons, and that they should be obliged
to put up with the present House, in which they
jwere under the necessity of shuffling through with the business
ust in any way they could. There was scarcely a vestry-
room, and certainly net a room belonging to any public corn-
pany that was not more commodious and convenient for those
who had to meet there than was the House of Commons.
Sir R. PEEL had objected to the presont mode of taking
dvisions as he did not think the public would be satisfied with
it, and its tendency would be to multiply divisions. Whenever-
there was any difference of opinion, the minority would press
for a division, the only object of which would be to waste time.
Lord ALTHORP was quite satisfied, from the experiment
already tried, that it was utterly impossible that the mode
suggested by the Hon. Member for Middlesex could be acted'
upon with advantage. Unless, therefore, a large majority of
the House desired the change, he thought that the Ministry
ought not to support it.
Colonel EVANS regretted that the Noble Lord did
not accede to the proposal of the Honourable Member
for Middlesex...._( Hear.) As to the loss of time, that was
stated to arise from taking down the names of Members, he
thought that the proposed plan would be a saving of time-
But the important question was, were the Members of
that House to be responsible to their constituents, and how
were they to be responsible if the votes which Members gave
were not authenticated ? It was said that half a minute had
been lost upon the last occasion, but let the House recollect
how many minutes, hours, and days had been lost upon much
less important matters.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord EBRINGTON replied, and the motion was -agreed to.
IRISH COERCION BILL. .-
Lord ALTHORP said he had now to bring under the con-
side.ation of the House the propriety of renewing in part the
Bill for the Suppression of Local Disturbances in Ireland,.
which had been passed during the last session. It was neces-
sarily shortly to state the grounds upon which it was proposed
to the House to renew those parts of the Bill which it 'was
;the intention of the Government to renew, and he should AUG
give some reasons--though he did not think that to the
House of Commons it would be very necessary to go great
lengths to give i easons--( Hear, hear)—for not calling for
more extensive powers than were called for by the present
13i11.—(Cheers.) The state of Ireland last year, as itzas
brought under the consideration of the House, was such,
that outrages of the most grievous description existed.
in different garbs of that country. Under these circum-
stances the Government felt that they could not be
answerable for the peace of the country, unless they
were invested with powers beyond the ordinary powers
of the Constitution to suppress those outrages. Many
of those gentlemen who were opposed to the Bill when it was
introduced, admitted that outrages existedlof such a nature as
to requise extended powers. He did not intend to occupy the
time of the House by going into details, but this
he ;•2uld state, that the papers laid on the table
of the Ho,:.se would convince any one that it would not be safe
according to the present state of Ireland to allow that
Act to expire, as far as the provisions went which he
had alluded to. He believed every gentleman who was
acquainted with that country would admit, that if the act were
to expire, the effects would be disastrous.—(Hear, hear.)
in some of those parts now under proclamation. He was afraid
they could not calculate that it would not be necessary to
apply it to other parts.--( Hear.) Upon these grounds
e
it was that he. submitted to the House the : proposition ' .11
had already made. He had stated that it would :be.
absolutely necessary for him to allude shortly to

he kept so
them feel it in reality. He was playing Hamlet in one of the
provincial theatres. At the moment when he was about to
plunge the dagger into the guilty breast of his mother, a
piercing cry instantly followed by great commotion, was hel;rd
issuing from a box near the stage. A veteran officer of tried
courage, who had again and again distinguished himself in
the field, had had his nervous system so intensely wrought
upon by the powerful acting of Telma, that his frame could
no longer sustain itself against the force of its inward workings,
and uttering a cry, he had fallen in a fainting &from his seat.
He was immediately carried out ; when, after the lapse of
some minutes, coming to himself, still under the effects of the
nervous excitement of the scene, he anxiously asked if he had
really killed his mother.
