ST. ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION.
ST. ALBANS, THURSDAY.—Today the Commission
resumed their inquiry in the Town-hall, which was
excessively crowded. _

Edwards was re-examined at great length during
the day, and went through the remainder of the regis.
ter of voters, pointing out as he proceeded the persons
wbo received bribes.
The Commissioner said Mr. Coppock Would be
called.

Edwards's examination having been closed,
Mr. Wells applied to be heard to protect the inte-
rest of certain voters he represented, and who feared
that their franchise rights might be unfairly affected
by this inquiry.
The Commissioners, after consultation, decided that
they had no power to permit this under the Act, and
declined the application.
Edwards then said he wished in fairness to be ex-
amined with reference to the conduct, during the
p
election, of the " Carden art," as it was not fair
that one party only should
be exyposed.
The Commissioner said that would be a subject for
future consideration, and then adjourned to Tuesday
next.

DEATH OF SIR JAMES WHALLEY SMYTHE GAB•
DINER, BART.—We have to record the demise of this
baronet, who died on the 22d inst., aged 66. The deceased
gentleman was born in 1785, being son of the second baronet
by the second daughter of the Rev. Dr. Assheton. In 1,-07,
he married the second daughter of the late Oswald Mosley,
Esq., and sister to Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. The deceased
succeeded to the title in 1805. In 1810, he filled the office
of high Sheriff in his native county, Hants. This title was
created in 1783, and its first holder was John Whalley, Who,
on succeeding to the estates of Sir W. Gardiner, Bart., a title
now extinct, assumed the last-mentioned name. Sir James
is succeeded in the title and estates, which latter are situate
in Ramp-hire, by his son, John Bouras, born in 1814.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Commander William Morris (1846), who lately
commanded the Arab, 12, at Chinn, has been appointed
to study at the Woolwich factory.
Mate—Richard Roche (1851), to the Victory
flagship, at Portsmouth.
Chief Engineer—F. W. Stow, to the Rosamond
steaire sloop, Devonport.
Second Master—R. P. Simpson (1847), to the
London, 92, flag-ship, at Sheerness.
Assistant Engineers—John G. Brodie, Owen
Jones, Daniel Clarke, to the Rosamond.
Midshipman—G. J. Dail, to the Victory.
Naval Cadet—John E. Stokes, to the Rosamond.
Fairy, royal yacht tender, Master Commander
Welch, was docked at Portsmouth on Tuesday last,
to make good defects, arid to be refitted for the re-
ception of her Mrjesty end the Court next month.
On examination it was found that her iron bottom
was particularly clean and sound on one side, and
on the other the composition appeared very much
rubbed and worn ; but considering the service the
Fairy has performed, and that she has not had any
new coat of composition for six months, we
cannot find fault with her condition. Mr. Hay will
merely patch up the old six months' coat on one
side, and Mr. P,acock having obtained permis-
sion to apply his composition to the yacht, will pay
over the other side in order to test their respective ad-
vantages. It is due, however, to Mr. Hay to state
that his composition on the Fairy has been applied for
nearly five years, and during that time she has not
required a single rivet to be removed.

visitors were conveyed in the frigate's barge on board
the corvette Lagerbejelke, where Captain Englehart
exercised similar courtesies and hospitality as had
been shown on board the frigate, and also saluted the
Consul on leaving. This evening Madame Vanden•

THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER.
Not the least important Act of the late session, and
one which has hitherto escaped notice, was the Act " to
define and amend the mineral customs of certain parts of
the hundred of High Peek, in the county of Derby, part
of the possessions cf her Majesty's Duchy of Lancaster,
to make provision for the better administration of
justice in the Barmoto Courts therein, and to im-
prove the practice and proceedings of the said courts."
There are fifty-seven sections in the Act, and several
schedules. The Great Barmote and the Small Barmote
Courts have existed for centuries, and it was deemed
advisable that the mineral laws and customs should be
revised, altered, and amended. The present Act was
passed for that purpose, and the jurisdiction of the Bar-
mote Courts defined. The Act is called " The High
Peak Mining Customs and Mineral Courts Act." Her
Majesty may appoint a steward of the Barmote Courts,
who may appoint a deputy. Courts are to be held,
and a grand jury is to be sworn. Officers called
`• barmasters" ate to be appointed. In the Great Bar-
mote Court the mining customs are to be decided, and in
the small Barmoto Courts actions of debt, title, or tres-
pass may be tried. The parti:s and their wives may be
examined in the courts under this Act. Henceforth
grand jury is cnly to consist of twelve persons. Persona
aro not precluded from proceeding in any other court
having jurisdiction therein in respect of any matter made
by this Act triable in the Small Barmote Court. Rules
and regulations may be made by the tewerd and grand
jury for carrying out the provisions of the Act. The
scbedn!es define the mineral customs, and contain tables
of fees to be paid by parties iu the Barmoto Courts—
tribunals of very ancient date.

PUBLIC STATUES.
(From the Morning Advertiser.)
A spirited, life-like e questrien sta!ne of William the
Conqueror was erected, some ten days past, in the
Champs Elys6es, Irons which it was removed last
week to its final destination at Falaise, the birthplace
of the Norman bastard, who worsted our good old
Saxon King Harold. This statue was a noble,
vigorous composition, bursting with life and anima-
tion, and caused us sore reflections on the miserable
bronze caricature of an iron Duke, which excited so
much amusement to the foreigners on their way to
the Exhibition, and the wretched bewigged statue
of George the Fourth, which is a fitting pendant to
the wretched dumb-waiters, which squirt their
meagre waters about Trafalgar. square. Why can
we not have statues such as those of William the
Conqueror, which is going to adorn an abscure town
in Normandy ; or such an Amazon as Kiss has
planted at Berlin ; or the Godefroi de Bouillon at
Brussels; or such a monument as the triumphal arch
at the •Barriere de l'Etoile ; or such foundations as
excited the admiration end wonder of the world in
the Place Louis Qeit:za, ? Why should we tacitly
allow foreigners to forestal us in these matters ? Our
Duke was surely as great a man as Napoleon, and is
deserving of a statue and triumphal arch of 2Estriplex—for, as the peace of the world was pro-
duced by his mighty genius, he might have looked
around him at the varied produce in the Great Ex-
hibition, and have said with Sir Christopher Wren,
"Si monumentum requiris, circumspice." But the
British people should not be content with such pre-
posterous absurditiei as those which now desecrate
their public places; and even if hero-worship shall
have ceased, good taste must yet survive.
