DISCOVERY OF A ROBBER'S CAVE AND
RETREAT NEAR LINCOLN.—On Monday se'nnight a most
singular discovery was made in the plantation of Skelling-
thorpe, a small village about three miles from Lincoln, of
a must ingeniously constructed retreat for robbers. About
six months ago, three fellows, called Freeman, Couplaud,
and Greetham, who bad been charged with robbing Mr.
Chaloner, leather-cutter, of Lincoln, effected their escape
from the city gaol. Greetham delivered himself up, took
his trial, and was transported ; but the retreat of Freeman
and Coupland could never afterwards be found, though
they were observed haunting the outskirts of Lincoln.
Some persons, on Monday se'nnight, who were searching
for fox grounds in the dense plantation of Skellingthorpe,
were astonished to observe some smoke issuing from nearly
the centre of the wood. With greet difficulty they made
their way to the place, and found a curiously constructed
bower, formed of branches of trees, so as to defy detection
until you were upon the spot. In this bower they die•
covered a variety of articles,—a pot upon the fire, with a
fine turkey and bacon ; half a sheep, salted and concealed
in the ground ; a large pot of butter, and a variety of shoes
and leather, with knives, forks, plates, bread, &c. It is
said that the shadows of two men were perceived flitting
rapidly by some secret path from the wood..—Stamford
News.

THE TOWER.—Great ceremony is now used
at opening and shutting the principal gate at this edifice
night and morning. A little before six in the morning,
this summer, the yeoman porter goes to the Governor's
house for the keys, from whence he proceeds to the inner-
most gate, attended by a sergeant and six men of the
main guard. This gate, being opened to let them pass,
is again shut, while the yeoman porter and the guard pro-
ceed to open the three outermost gates; at each of which
the,guards rest their firelocks while the keys pass and re-
pass. Upon the yeoman porter's return to the innermost
gate he calls to the warders in waiting to " take in King
William's keys," upon which the gate is opened, and the
keys lodged in the warder's hall till the time of locking,
eleven at night, with the same formality as when opened.
After they are shut, the yeomen and guard proceed to the
main guard, who are all under arms, with the officers upon
duty at their head. The usual challenge from the main
guard to the yeoman porter is, " Who comes there?" His
answer is, " The keys ;" upon which the officer orders
the guard to rest their firelocks; the yeoman porter then
says, " God save King William." " Amen," is loudly
answered by all the guard. From the main guard, the
yeoman porter, with his guard, proceeds to the Gover-
nor's, where the keys are left ; after which no person can
go out or come in till next morning without the watch-
word for the night, which is kept so secret that none but
the proper officers and the sergeant upon guard ever come
to the knowledge of it. When that is given by any stran-
ger to the sentinel, he communicates it to his sergeant,
who passes it to the next on duty, and so on till it comes
to the governor or commanding officer, by whom the
keys are delivered to the yeoman porter, who attends as
before ; the main guard, being put under arms, brings
them to the outer gate, where the stranger is admitted,
and conducted to the commandant. Having made known
his business, he is conducted to the outer gate, dismissed,
the gates shut, and the key re-delivered with all the for-
mality as at first.

PROGRESS OF REPUBLICANISM IN
FRANCE.—The Doctrinnaires know quite well that
France is becoming rapidly Republican. They know that
the army is more Republican than ever. They know that
the " Society of the Rights of Man" is making the moat
surprising and extensive progress. They know that even
the Legitimatists would prefer the Republican to the present
system. They know that the leaders of the Republican
party are confident as to the result. They know that the
little Sunday Journal, Le Bon Sens, is making a most
decided impression in the provinces. They know that
there are thousands of active emissaries of the republic
distributed all over France, who labour without being paid,
and work for the cause from pure and patriotic motives.
They know that with but few exceptions, the rising gene-
ration is Republican, and this rising generation will in a
few years' time be fathers instead of sons, and
masters instead of servants. They perceive then that Re-
publicanism not only is spreading, but will spread much
more ; and that this " handful of factious men"
will stand a good chance, ere many years have
passed over their heads, of becoming the governors and
not the governed. They know that the Republicans are
actively engaged in instructing the people, in showing
them how they are and how they ought to be ruled, and
are preparing the way for the moment whim the chiefs
will address the mass and exclaim, " En avant!" or
" Onwards! !" The Doctrinnaires know all this!
They know that in every commune of France the Re-
public has its one or more agents actively at work, and
that men's minds are being prepared for the overthrow
of all monarchical institutions. Knowing all this—and
knowing that the day must and will arrive when the battle
must be fought between the Republic on the one band and
the Monarchy on the other, the Doctrinnaires are desirous
of placing themselves and the Monarchy in the best pos-
sible condition for defending their own cause, and for
fighting inch by inch every step of the ground. They
have, therefore, proposed to fortify Paris—and so to
fortify it by detached forts—forts directed towards Paris,
as well as towards the country ; and from which the
capital could be attacked and bombarded. They know that
the day will conic that the Patriots or Republicans will
make, not an emeute or insurrection, but a general
movement or revolution ; and the Doctrinnaires are
supremely anxious to be ready against that hour, with
every means of defence. They wish to have it in
their power to destroy Paris, rather than submit to the
Republic ; and, if eventually defeated, then to retire into
the provinces, join the Legitimatists, and fight for the
monarchy of HENRY V., under the auspices of the Dra-
peau Blanc. They will, therefore, listen to no mode of
fortifying Paris which may not be directed against Paris--
and they attach so great an importance to this measure,
that they declare it is one of life or death to their system.
In this they judge rightly ; and it is not at all extraordi-
nary that they cry aloud in the name of the Monarchy
for funds and a budget to enable them to put their plans
into execution. If they obtained money to fortify Paris
according to their system, they would then apply for funds
to fortify Lyons, as they are well aware that these are the
bead.quarters of republicanism; and that if the repub-
licans and their leaders could be crushed in the northern
and southern capitals of the kingdom, they would find it
difficult in less than five or seven years again to make any
important and successful commotion. O.P.Q.

(PRICE 7D.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Jumx 19.

Several Road Bills were read a third time and passed.
The Militia Ballot Bill went through a Committee, and
was reported.

The Duke of BEAUFORT presented a petition against
the Beer Act, from Crickhowell, in Wales.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH, seeing the Noble Earl at the
head of the Administration in his seat, wished to inquire
of him whether he would have any objection to the pro.
duction of any correspondence that had taken place h?-
tween the Board of Control and the East India Company
on the subject of the appointment of a new presidency.
Earl GREY said there had been no correspondence
upon the subject ; of course, when any did take place,
he could have no objection to its being laid on the table.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said it was a matter of very
great surprise to him, that no communication should have
taken place upon a point which there could be no doubt
was one of very great importance.—(Hear, hear,
hear.) Under those circumstances the Noble Earl
could not object that that part of the measure, which
was perfectly distinct from that part of it which it was
necessary should p25/3 in the present session, should stand
over till the next session, in order that the necessary in-
quiries might be made. In allowing that course to
be pursued, the Noble Earl wopld only be doing that for
which he contended in 1813, when he said the measure
then introduced was brought in at too late a period of the
session, and it could not then receive that consideration
which the subject demanded. It was to be taken
into consideration, too, that the propositions then under
consideration were well known, while the present uses
were entirely new. The Minister who proposed them
was of opinion that they would do much good, but Le
(Lord E.) might entertain a very strong opinion on the
other side. It was on those grounds that he impressed
upon the Noble Earl to afford time to the House to con-
sider those propositions in the fullest manner.

Earl GREY, when be said that no correspondence
had taken place, did not mean to say that there had been
no,communication on the subject, but merely that there
was no correspondence that could be produced. He
agreed that the alterations were of great importance, and
when the resolutions were under the consideration of that
House. he would be prepared to show the Noble Lord that
the results would be very different from those predicted by
the Noble Baron. He was of the same opinion now as that
which the Noble Baron attributed to him in 1813, and he
would not press any measure through the House without
affording proper opportunities of considering it, but he
entertained a very strong opinion against delay.
Lord WYNFORD wished to know if the Noble Duke
rpposite would have any objection to postponing the
Committee upon the Labour Rate Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND wished to know the Noble
Lord's reason.

Lord WYNFORD said, that since entering the House
he had learnt that the Committee stood for to-day; and
having before thought the House was to go into Committee
upon the Bill on Thursday, he consequently was not at
present prepared to discuss it.
The Earl of MALNIESBURY expressed a similar
opinion.

The Duke of RICHMOND thought it would be better
that the House should now go into Committee on the Bill,
pro forma, and the Noble Lords should have an opportu-
nity of discussing the Bill upon the bringing up of the re-
port.
The House then went into Committee.

After some observations from Lord Wynford, the
Marquis of Salisbury, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl
of Alalmesbury, the Bishop of London, the Earl of Win-
chilsea, and Lord Godolphin, in consequence of the sug-
gestions of the Earl of Malmesbury, the Duke of Rich-
mond consented to refer the Bill to a Select Committee.
EAST INDIA AFFAIRS.

On the motion of the Earl of RIPON, an address to
the House of Commons was agreed to, requesting the
Report of the Committee on the Affairs of India for Mil
and 1832.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Epping, in favour of the Labour Rate Bill.
The House then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,JuNs 19.

The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at a quarter past five
o'clock.

Mr. BAINBRIDGE presented a petition from the
mayor, burgesses, sheriffs, and other inhabitants of Car-
rickfergus, praying that they might be heard by Counsel
against the Carrickfergus Disfranchisement Bill.
Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from the
inhabitants of the county and city of Dublin, re-
specting the Dublin Turnpike Roads Bill. The
Honourable Member also presented a petition from
the manufacturers of gun locks residing in the county of
Stafford, stating the distress under which they laboured,
and praying that the House would adopt some measure to
alleviate their distress.

Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the
House resolving itself into a Committee of the whole
House on the Temporalities (Ireland) Bill.
Mr. W. BROUGHAM rose and said that be had
been under the necessity, for five successive times, of
postponing the Registry Bill ; and as he believed there was
considerable excitement in the country upon the subject,
be wished to place himself in the hands of the House as
whether he should now proceed with it.
Mr. C. BULLER considered the Bill of great public
utility, and expressed his hope that the Hon. and Learned
Meit:ber would proceed with it.

Sir R. PEEL said, if the measure was at all to be
proceeded with, it would be desirable to have it brought
forward in as perfect a state as possible. For that pur-
pose it would be very convenient, in the present state of
public business, to postpone it till the neat session.
Sir JOHN CAMPBELL considered the Bill the foun-
dation of all efficient law improvement, and be therefore
hoped it would be proceeded with this session.

Mr. W. BROUGHAM, considering it the opinion of
the House that he should persevere with the measure
during the present session, then moved the order of the
day for the second reading of the Bill. The order of the
day having been read,

Mr. W. BROUGHAM moved that the Bill be now read
a second time.

Mr. A. SANDFORD rose to oppose it. He Lad en-
tered the Committee appointed by the House to examine
its details with impressions against the Bill, and the evi-
dence which had then been submitted to him had
not in any way diminished his opposition to it..--(Hear,
hear.) The London solicitors were not at all ac-
quainted with the practice of the profession in the country.
The evils which would arise from the expense that would
be entailed on purchasers of small portions of land in the
country, sending an account of the transactions to be regis-
tered in London, had not been properly considered ;
besides, he was confident that persons obtaining loans upon
mortgage would be greatly impeded, exclusive of the
repugnance they would feel to send the transactions to
London and be registered in a public office. As regarded
the suppression of deeds by the present system so urged
by the Honourable and Learned Solicitor-General as
taking place, he (Mr. Sandford) must say that of the
very numerous transactions which bad been inquired into
by the Committee, but few instances were proved in which
a suppression of deed had taken place. They were, in
fact, so very few, and the amount of property so small,
that they ought not to be brought forward as any argu-
ment in favour of the Bill. Again, it had been said that
the Bill would be the means of affording additional secu-
rity to property.—(Hear, hear.) Certainly if it hed
been adopted some centuries ago, before there was
such an extensive sub-division of property, it might have
proved to afford great security ; but now, when property
had been so greatly sub-divided, the indexes would
be so voluminous, that the expense would be very
great.—(Hear, hear.) He would instance a case, as
likely to occur, which would be an illustrative
objection. A person on purchasing some property had
it registered ; if he wished to dispose of a part of it, the
purchaser was supposed to have notice of every deed con-
nected with the property; but if, by any accident, the
index became out of order, or was not complete, the loss
and expense to him would be immense. The effect of the
Bill would be to throw the whole landed property into a
state of confusion, and it would be the cause of placing
property in a state of jeopardy. Some of the first men in the
profession of the law were of the same opinion with him
(Mr. Sandford), and their opinion was certainly entitled
to some weight, although he admitted there were others
of eminence in the profession who entertained a contrary
opinion. Believing that the Bill would place the lauded
