notorious that the Roily of England was, from a
variety of causes, the very worst in Europe ;
whereas it is at this moment decidedly, for its num-
bers, the most effective. With respect to the Foot
Guards, the Secretary at War affirmed distinctly,
that considering the duties they performed, that
description of troops was not more expensive than
the same number of regiments of the line. The
pay of the privates is Id. per diem above that of
the marching regiments ; but if the latter were
stationed in or near London, it is probable that
their pay would require to be raised to the same
level with that received by the Guardsmen,
the officers of which household corps, in the
rank of subalterns, have somewhat less pay than
those of the line. With respect to the general staff
of the army, it does not appear that the Secretary
at War meditates any alteration in the establish-
ment at head-quarters, of which, by what we can
collect from one portion of his speech, the duties
have been discharged with great diligence and effi-
ciency, in so far as concerns a successful superin-
tendence over the discipline and conduct of the
troops. " He" (Mr. Ellice) "could declare that
during the year that he had now held the office of
Secretary at War, not one complaint had been
made to him from any part of the country as to
want of subordination, or the display of undisci-
plined conduct on the part of the army." We
have heard, indeed, that the number of courts.
martial and of secondary punishments has much in-
creased since the nearly total abolition of the brutal
punishment of the cat-o'-nine-tails. But the habits
of the soldier will no doubt in time be raised and im-
proved by this substitution of a more humanized
for a most barbarous and disgusting practice. For
the non-effective departments, and especially that
to which the well-known though perhaps un-
grateful denomination of dead-weight has been
affixed, we understand that the arrangements con.'
templated by the Secretary at War, with a view to
the half pay and gradual promotion of old officers,
unable to purchase, are to restrict the former allow-
ance, in all cases (prospectively of course) to of-
ficers who shall have completed six years of active
regimental service on full pay, and to give the senior
officers actually serving with their regiments the
same advantage in promotion without purchase as
is conferred on officers in the navy, by leaving at
the disposal of the Commander of the Forces, to be
given by him to meritorious officers, one vacancy
out of every three which may occur by casualties
on the half-pay list. An old major will thus suc-
ceed to a half-pay lieutenant-colortelcy ; a captain,
to a majority, &c., having an equal claim with other
officers to be replaced on full pay as opportunities
may offer. The advantage from this arrangement
for the restriction of half pay will be considerable,
and is probably designed as a step towards further
limitations—as far as can be effected, without
a breach of faith to those who are already in
the army. The charge upon the public from the
promotion of old officers will be comparatively tri-
fling, although even this partial prospect of advance-
ment will give some satisfaction to those who may at
present feel sore from the superior means of officers
able to purchase, and the over-crowded ranks of the
army. The Secretary at War has also thrown out
some valuable suggestions, with a view to consoli-
date the civil branches of the service in connexion
with the War-office, by which the whole would be
considerably simplified, all means of mystification be
set aside, and the general expense diminished. We
annex some detailed statements of what is contem-
plated, as well as what has been accomplished, and
we conclude by repeating, that this is by far the
most encouraging army estimate that we recollect
to have seen. The reductions in the army esti-
mates of the year, it will be seen, consist of—
t. Saving from omitting non effective men, and re-
ducing the emoluments of colonels, as recommended by
the committee of last year, 7,0001.
2. Savings by other redactions in regiments, 1,0001.
3. By casualties in the course of the year not to be
filled up. '75,0001.
4. By reduction in the charge for recruiting, ft 1,2701.
5. By reductions on contingencies, and other expenses,
consequent upon the maintenance of a less number of
troops, and by reduction of the amount hitherto granted
to the Guards' mess, 18,873/.
6. On the staff estimate, although in the printed esti-
mate the charge under that head is apparently increased
by the transfer of effective garrison appointments from the
old garrison establishment, 1,200/.
7. On the public departments, War. office, &c., 4,3141.
8. Decreased vote for the Royal Military Asylum and
Hibernian School, although the actual decrease of expense
is only 3,4261., a balance being applied in aid, 8.7261.
9. On the volunteer vote, 19,1391.—The charge for
the Irish Volunteer Staff, which had not been cal ed out
for the last three years, omitted, and the additional charge
of 31. per man for the clothing of the English Yeomanry
for the present year, counterbalanced by an arrangement
for inspecting the troops in quarters, instead of calling out
the regiments for permanent duty, by which the pay and
maintenance of the horse and man is reduced from 7s. to
3s. 4d. per day, the cost of the additional clothing being
26,000/., the saving, by the other arrangement, being
33,000/.
Non-effective services-
1. Unattached pay of general officers from casualties,
5,000/.
2. Retired full pay from casualties, 4,000/.
Half.pay and military allowances, 25,000/.—The
decrease from casualties on this estimate has not been so
large as last year ; but more officers have been removed
from half to full pay by arrangements of the Commander-
in-Chief.
4. Foreign half-pay and pensions, from casualties,
5,340/.
5. On compassionate fund, and allowances for wounds,
deducting an increase of 1,656/. on widows' pensions,
4,360/.
6. Decreased vote on account of Chelsea pensions,
61,8981.—The actual decrease on expenditure about
25,0001., the difference being au increase of the appro-
priations in aid of the charge of about 13,500/., and a
saving in a sum voted in former years for commutation.
7. Savinglon superannuations from casualties, 2,740/.
8. Exchequer fees omitted in the estimates, 30,0001.
The total decrease of the sums required for

street ; but after some conversation he began to suspect
them, and declined doing any business. They, however,
afterwards called upon him at his own house, and suc-
ceeded in obtaining a bill for 651. to be discounted. The
money was not forthcoming, and be bad called a great
many times at the office in Bouverie-street without
obtaining the least satisfaction.
Prisoner asked if the transaction took place with him ?
Mr. Young replied, the prisoner referred him to the
others, and he saw him constantly afterwards in Bouverie-
street conducting himself as if he were a principal.
Sir PETER—You were not very young, Mr. Young, to
be duped after your suspicions were awakened ?
Mr. Young said Mr. Dawson was a remarkably clever
en, and older tradesman than himself had been tricked
by this gang.
Mr. Elder, of Richard-street, CommerciaLroad, said,
dough his name was Elder, be had been quite as young
as Mr. Young—(A laugh)—for he had been tricked out
of a bill for 501. In consequence of a money-lending
advertisement catching his eye, he called at Bouverie.street,
about ten days ago. He inquired for Mr. Smith, and was
introduced to Messrs. Hunt and Dawson, but he had some
misgivings about them, and left them without doing any
business. The two gentlemen, however, subsequently
called upon him, and persuaded him to let them have the
hill, giving him a formal receipt, as required by the sta
tute, that the bill was given to Mr. Hunt for the purpose
of being discounted, but cunningly omitting to recite who
should have the proceeds. This was dated the 22d of
February, and he had not been able to obtain and value
for his bill.
Edward Hill, of Luke-street, Mile-end, had applied to
Messrs. Hunt and Dawson to discount a capital bill for
481. 10e., and he was appointed to receive the cash on
Thursday afternoon. Being disappointed he went again
on Friday, when he met the last two witnesses also
anxiously waiting for Hunt and the cash. Being again
disappointed they resolved to bring the matter to an issue,
and they met again that morning and gave Smith into
custody. They also met with Mr. Hunt, but he slipped
through their fingers. He told them to follow him to
Dawson's in King-street, where he called at a Mr.
Charles Kirkman's, and going out at a back door in
Skinner-street, escaped from them.
Alexander Sbronci, a native of Rome, who keeps the
Old Rum Puncheon, in Long-alley, Moorfields, observing
an advertisement in the Morning Advertiser promising
liberal advances on bills at three months, applied to No. 20,
Bouverie-street, to have a bill for 291. 3s. 6d. discounted.
Applications were, according to the advertisemetlitehtombre
made to Mr. Smith, but be did the business wdtto

The prisoner said he became

about
Messrs.
u t
Passrnore and Taylor, solicitors, Basinghali-
street ; and Hunt was a bankrupt and a prisoner in the
King's Bench, whom be attended at his leisure hours to
arrange his accounts. About ten days before Christmas,
Hunt told him he had opened offices in Bouverie-street and
Thanet-place, and hired prisoner at 10s. to sit at the latter
place from eleven to three daily, and take in letters, &c.,
and refer all comers to Bouverie-strtet. He would have an
opportunity of seeing the books and understanding what
business was done. He entered on the employ, but one
brought a deed, and another some bills, which he refused
to receive, perceiving that Mr. H. only wanted to make a
stalking-horse of him, and so they parted as early as the
Bth of January, Mr. Hunt telling him he was of no service.
He had been at Bouverie-street pretty often since, but it
was not as a man of business. He went only to dun them
out of the trifle they owed him, and his name bad been
used in the paper without his permission.
Sir PETER asked who Dawson was? Prisoner said he
did not know.
A witness paid he had once kept a shop in the Borough.
Hunt, at the time be was a bankrupt, had three establish-
ments; one in St. Martin's-lane, Cannon-street; one in
Lambeth ; and another at Wapping, in the oil trade.
Sir P. LAATRIE said he should have a fair opportunity
to prove his innocence; but, the negotiations beginning
with him, he was brought to the bar under auspicious
circumstances, and connected with suspicious parties, and be
must remand him, therefore, till Wednesday next.
B OW-STREET.
Mr. James Carter, landlord of the Union Tavern, Bow-
street, appeared to answer to a complaint which charged
him with keeping open his house for the sale of refresh-
ments not liable to the duties of Customs and Excise
between one and five o'clock on the morning of the 20th
of February, contrary to the provisions of the statute.
The defendant, having paid the fine, was discharged.

James Shaw, William Brook, and Mary Ann West
were charged before Messrs. WHITE and GREGORIE with
most violently assaulting J. Adams and Mary his wife,
under the following circumstances :—lt appeared from the
evidence of a host of witnesses that there was a raffia at the
house No. 2, Dacre-street, Broadway, Westminster, the
apartments of which are let out (to speak in polite terms)
to lodgers. The prize to be raffled for was nothing less
than a copy of Lord Byron's works, to consist of fifty
members, at sixpence each, and all the literati from
Brick-lane, Old Pye-street, and the adjoining neighbour-
hood mustered very strongly, each eager for the pike.
To enliven the party, the owner, or reputed owner,
of the work in question had procured a fiddler re-
nowned in the neighbourhood as superior to all
the Paganinis in the world, to enliven or cheer
the hearts of the guests by his dulcet strains. The
members were all mustered, and the raffle commenced
amidst the lively airs produced by the fiddler. Some
fifteen or twenty members bad cast the dice, which proved
to be very low numbers, and it was quite evident that
they could not win the prize ; and an endeavour was made
to bring his Lordship's works to a wrangle. This com-
menced with a cry of foal play amongst the low-numbered
members, and a wish was expressed to have a dance during
the remainder of the raffie, which was strongly objected
to by those who had to throw, and words rose high. At
this moment several ladies from Duck-lane, dressed in the
latest fashion of that place, entered, and expressed a wish
to have a gallopade ; the raffling ladies disputed their right
to call for a gallop ide, and insisted upon the fiddler playing
the cushion dance, at the same time ordering the Duck
lane ladies to walk out, as they were determined not to
admit any ladies with such flare-up dresses," which con-
sisted of yellow calico trimmed with a red glaze furniture
pattern of the same quality. Words now ran high. end
the raffle could not proceed for the dispute: at lasthit came
to blows, and a general fight took place.

tusion that took place is almost impossible, and very few
escaped scot free.

the riot, and the magistrates fined him 5/. for assaulting
Adams, and 5/. for assaulting his wife, in default of which
be was committed for two months for each assault.
THAMES POLICE.

Our unqualified but necessary remarks on
Saturday on the state of public opinion, and
the policy of Ministers, naturally excited the
public mind, and produced much observation
from our contemporaries. The Morning Chro-
nicle has been a firm ally of the present Govern-
ment. We have upheld the Cabinet of Lord
Grey through evil report and good report, be-
cause we sincerely believed that it combined the
public men who, in the present state of parties
and the aristocratic influence in the State, were
the statesmen who alone could advantageously
and liberally conduct the government of the
country; and because the extent and honesty
of their measures of parliamentary reform en-
titled them to the respect, the confidence, and
the gratitude of the people. Placed by
circumstances at the helm of public affairs, they
boldly and successfully produced an organic
change in the representation, which was destruc-
tive of Toryism and a certain ultimate termination
of the corrupt system of expenditure and patron-
age which had placed the nation on the verge of
ruin and revolution. Nor can it be denied that
Ministers have achieved for the public many
great practical reforms. A considerable re-
duction of taxation has been effected ; much
disgusting patronage has been reduced ; many
important grievances have been inquired into—
the exposition of which is tantamount to re-
dress—and the municipal commissions of Eng-
land, Wales, and Ireland, added to the great
measure of burgh reform, constitute acts of li-
beral government, the benefit of which we have
fully acknowledged and cannot be too grateful
for as remedial legislation consequent on the
Cabinet policy. But the question is not what
Ministers have done but what they may do and
ought to do. The contest of opinion in this
country is the political supremacy of liberal or
Conservative principles. The predominance of
liberal opinions cannot be questioned. The
large city and town constituencies have almost
exclusively returned representatives of popular
principles. The majority of the county electors
have demonstrated the same decided sentiments.
The House of Commons is, in a great degree,
the mirror of public opinion. The power of
the Tories is extinct in that branch of the Le-
gislature. No combination of circumstances or
events can restore their predominant influence ;
and if Ministers will only use the instrument of
their own creation, they cannot be displaced or
defeated in the proposition of liberal measures.
The old nick-names of party are disused, and
have lost their magic. The people—
the electoral constituency—disregard and de-
spise the professions and tactics of " parties."
A small section of the House of Commons still
retains the designation of Tories ; but even the
Tories have been obliged to christen themselves
by the new appellation of " Conservatives"—that
is to say, a party obstinately and. blindly deter-
mined to adhere to the remnant of religious
bigotry and political corruption, and to defend
to the last hour the few remaining holds of po-
litical monopoly and civil abuses. But the
House of Commons contains no Whig party.
The generic distinction is extinct in the political
changes and revolution of time. The recent
ministerial measures of representative reform
have Mac-Adamised " party," and no set of
men can conduct the administration of public af-
fairs without submission to public opinion. lithe
prejudices of the House of Lords and the preroga-
tive of the Crown,will not conform to the new order
of things, there will be an early end of the an-
cient form of the British Government ! If the
aristocratic classes of society cannot discern the
certain, the inevitable consequences of the recent
new distribution of political power, they will
soon cease to form a department of the Govern-
ment of the country. Ministers, therefore, must
make up their minds to go on with the rapid and
irresistible current of public opinion, or they
will be assuredly displaced. There is no mid-
dle course—no "juste milieu." It is impos-
sible to uphold the old " regime." Party men may
temporarily possess and enjoy the reigns of Go-
vernment, but ordinary sagacity foresees that
such a conflict of " parties" and persons cannot
last long. In a few short years some of the
most eminent public men of the present day will
be " called to their fathers ;" and in the mean-
while public opinion—liberal principles—is
gaining an omnipotent ascendancy. We have
consistently and boldly upheld the present Ca-
binet, we may therefore be allowed to offer it
advice. In our comments on the able and use-
ful pamphlet, entitled, " The Reformed Parlia-
ment and the Reform Ministry," we gave a
Supplement, in which it will be remembered that
we urged on Ministers the early preparation and
proposition of a few practical and necessary pub-
lic measures for the present session of Parlia-
ment. We stated that the people were not un-
reasonable—that all sensible reformers estimated
the political difficulties of Ministers—and that
the public only required practical and progressive
reforms to satisfy them of the good conduct of
public affairs. We urged on the consideration
of the government the bold countenance of the
liberal party and liberal measures. It cannot be
doubted that the country expected a limitation
of the septennial duration of Parliament—the
proposition or admission of some practical system
of national education—the reformation of the
abuses and tithe system of the established church
—the redress of Irish grievances, in the modifica-
tion of a hierarchy alien and hateful to the great
majority of the Irish people—the recognition
of the few reasonable claims of the Protestant
dissenters of the kingdom—the bestowal of
the political power and patronage of the
government on the liberal interest, their coura-
geous and generous adherents. And what is
the aspect of the policy of Ministers in the pre-
sent session ? Where are such measures—
what real satisfaction have the reformers in the
apparent policy of Ministers ? Although it is
notorious that a large majority of the House of
Commons is pledged to support a limited dura-
tion of Parliament, Ministers do not boldly lead
public opinion and take credit on the question. ,
The subject of general education has not been
sanctioned by the Government, who might now
gain infinite credit by the simple institution of
an inquiry into the existing state of education
'with a view to some practical system for the
diffusion of the blessings of national instruction.
We'know not what is the ministerial intention
with regard to church reform, except from the
obscure and guarded phraseology of a " King's
speech." Ireland is the daily topic of the agita•
von of the Irish membersp,and it is left to Mr.
O'Connell to moot the most important subjects
of Hibernian policy. The Protestant dissenters
petition and remonstrate in vain ; and an active
and liberal—an overwhelming class, are dissatis-
fied that the questions of church rates,—of
civic registration of birth, baptism, and marriage,
—of admission to the Universities, are unsettled
and unpromised. Surely Lord Holland, Lord
Lansdowne, Lord J. Russell,—the ancient allies

To prove the confession Thomas Jackson was called.
He said—l took the prisoner to the Reading Gaol. When
we got as fir as Streetley, we stopped to bait our horse at
the Bull. The prisoner went up to a picture that was
there, and he smiled. He said " she turned her eyes
about like that picture when her head was off," and be
turned his own eyes like it. Mr. Farrow, who was
present, cautioned him not to talk in that way. The
prisoner joked a good deal about it while our horse was
feeding. He said be had done the murder, and he wished
me to communicate it to his father. He wished me to
write to his father. He said we will begin at the
Squirrel, which is a public-house in Wantage. He said
lie came from thereto Mrs. Pullen's, and as he was going
in doors there was a man coming oat, and another man
inside the house drinking, who had a little dog, and
seemed as if he was courting the widow, but the man
soon drank up his beer and went away. The prisoner
farther said, that Mrs. Pullen cut him a rasher of bacon,
which he frizzled on the point of his knife—and after
having finished his supper be sit down near the
window, his bean-hook and cup being on the table,
and that he took op the cup in one band and the
book in the other, and he hit her with the bean.book and
cut her head off in a moment. He said he meant to
have hit her with the back of the hook, and he said as
soon as he had given the blow he fell back against the
parlour door, as if some one had lifted him ; but he sprang
forward again and tore her pocket off, and then took the
candle to get out, but could not find the bolt of the door,
as he let the candle fall and trod upon it; however, on
touching the bolt with his thumb he got out, and folded the
pocket up under his right arm. He said that he washed
his hands in the river, and threw the pocket into a pond.
I asked bow long it was all about ; and he said from a
quarter of an fluor to twenty minutes at farthest. He
said ttmere was no one with him when he first went into
the houseof the deceased.
James Jones the younger said—l was with the last wit-
ness. he prisoner said that he frizzled a rasher of bacon
on his knife, and proposed to Mrs. Pullen to pass the night
with her, whereupon she said she would give him a knock
on the bead with the poker. Toat be then left the
house for a short time, and on his return he took up his
bean-honk, and had her head off momentarily.
The prisoner declined making any defence.
Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up the evidence.
Verdict—Guilty.
Mr. Justice PmmsoN passed sentence of death upon
the prisoner, and ordered him for execution on Monday
next.
There was a great number of ladies in Court, and
among them two very interesting young Quakeresses.

REX V. THE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIREd
This was an indictment for stopping up seven roads.
The roads in question were two of them in and five of
them near East Hampstead Park. -
It was contended, on the part of the prosecution, that
these were ancient highways, and that it was illegal to stop
them up; but, on the part of the noble defendant, it was
contended-Ist, that they were not roads, but merely oc-
cupation ways; and, 2d, that supposing that they were
ancient highways, they were properly stopped up by virtue
of the award of the commissioners, under an enclosure act,
which was passed in the reign of his Majesty King George
the Fourth.
A great deal of evidence was adduced, and the trial
lasted two days.
The Jury found that the roads were ancient highways,
and returned a verdict for the defendant, subject to the
opinion of the Court of King's Bench on the question as
to the award.

quences of such power ; especially when one
thousand Catholic children are added to

this rolling snowball of instruction and hos-
tility to the Hierarchy ? Will they not dis-
cern in the extract of the report of the
Dudley election—where the whole body of
Dissenters did gratefully support Sir J. Camp-
bell—though coldly, compared to their promo-
tion of his former contest—the public feeling of
the Liberals on the present Tory character ,of the
magistracy and clergy of the state ? We make
these reluctant, though wholesome, remarks the
more boldly, because we treat with " contempt"
the hypothesis of a return to Tory government.
The reform bills were poison to the Conserva-
tives ; they well know it, but they speculate on
a temporary return of the " trading Tories," Sir
Robert Peel—the Goulburns, the Dawsons, the

Crokers—to power, or the coalition of parties,
which, although it would be weakness, they fancy
would be strength. We fervently hope and trust
that ministers will yet overtake public opinion,
and rest on the safe and all-powerful support of
their only true and safe friends—the Reformers.
If they do not adopt this palpable policy, the
Liberals will be temporarily divided ; a third and
unappeasable party will be rapidly created, and
premature changes will be inevitable, and de-
structive of the best interests and institutions of
the country. The reaction will not be in favour
of Toryism, but of revolution.—Morn. Chron.

The vote of Friday evening on the army est
mates may be taken as a proof at once of the neces.
sity under which the King's government has felt
itself of carrying reduction to the lowest point com-
patible with the efficiency of the military force, and
of the wise determination of parliament not to im-
pair an atom of that efficiency, or, in other words,
not to sacrifice the substance of economy to the
name. It is from no disposition to flatter the exist-
ing ministry, or its official organ the Secretary at
War, and as little to pay court to Mr. Joseph Hume,
that we concur with him in describing the present
estimates as by far the clearest, soundest, and most
encouraging that have been submited to the House
of Commons for many years. Mr. Ellice has
shown throughout the strongest desire to let in
whatever light could be shed upon the administration
of the army in all its branches abroad and at home,
by his liberal adoption of every retrenchment which
he found practicable among the plans proposed by
the military committee of last session, and by his
immediate assent to Colonel Davies's, recommen-
dation of a committee of inquiry into the military
expenditure of the colonies. Had there been a wish
on the part of Government for the continuance of
abuse in any quarter, means might doubtless have
been found to frustrate most of the advantages de-
rivable from the first of those committees, and to
refuse the formation of the other. So long as con-
siderable uneasiness was entertained with regard to
the working of the great meaiure of emancipation
in the colonies, it might have been a most impru-
dent step to reduce the effective strength of an army
of which, it appears from the speech of the Secre-
tary at War, that even in their ordinary state of
repose those valuable but precarious possessions
require 3-Bths of its gross establishment, or 30,000
men out of 80,000. But witn the evidence since
received of the fortunate and successful manner
in which the new law has already begun to
operate, Government would be unjustifiable
for not endeavouring to relieve the coun-
try from all superfluous soldiers, and the
Secretary at War has proposed accordingly
that the rank and file of the service shall be suffered
to die away, or shall be discharged to the extent of
nearly 8,000 men—about one-tenth of the entire
standing army, exclusive of that portion of it which
is employed in India, and paid out of the Com-
pany's revenue. In effecting all military reductions,
the plan which ought manifestly to be most ap-
proved is that of a diminution in the number of
rank and file, being that description of military men
which can be replaced with the greatest prompti-
tude, and trained at the least expense of time or
money. There is little pecuniary saving by the
reduction of officers to half-pay, and much cost,
as well as inefficiency, incurred by their recall to
the service, after years of idleness and desuetude ;
whereas, if the frame-work or regimental officers
of the army be kept up, and a sudden augmenta-
tion of the effective force be called for, even to the
amount of 20,000 men, such an introduction of
rank and file may be accomplished, and the
whole body disciplined, without the slightest
disturbance of the machine, and with hardly any
sensible demand for an increase in the number
of officers. But once break up the corps of com-
missioned officers, and should an emergency, how-
ever sudden, arise, it will take many years to re-
establish them. The total saving in the effective
strength of the army, as detailed in a subjoined pa-
per, and as compared with former estimates, amounts
to within a very trifle of 195,0001., and the force
kept up is maintained on a footing of much more
careful economy than that of 1792—the pattern
year with many persons; but one in which it is now

HOME CIRCUIT—HERTFORD, FEB. 28.
(Before Lord LYNDIIURST and a Special Jury.)
ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION-WEBSTER V. TENNANT, GENT.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff a surgeon,
at St. Alban's, against Mr. Tennant, who resided in Rus .
sell-square, to recover various sums of money, amounting
to 4001., which had been expended for the purposes of his
election in 1830 and 1831. Mr. Webster was a person
of influence in what was called the independent interest
of St. Alban's, and by his exertions had secured Mr. Ten-
nant's return in 1830. It was anticipated the election
would be of short duration, and it was necessary the
member for St. Alban's should give sterling and sensible
proofs of his regard for the interests of the town ; and Mr.
Webster took upon himself to distribute coals to the
amount of 1281., which the defendant partly paid by a
cheque for 901., for which credit bad been given in this
action. The crisis arrived, the Reform Bill was thrown
out, a dissolution of Parliament took place, and Mr. Ten-
nant again announced himself as a candidate. Com-
mittees were formed, and preparations were made for
securing his return, when he declined to come forward on
account of the expenses. But there were some old accounts
of the former election which still remain unsettled. Mr.
Webster had drawn a cheque for 3301., which was ad.
vanced for the purpose of securing Mr. Tennant's second
return for St. Alban's. Mr. Tennant now denied his
liability.—Verdict for the plaintiff, with 3201. damages.

The former garrison vote is distributed under va-
rious heads in the estimate. The ordinary charges,
and which the committee considered must be main-
tained, are added to the staff, and will come an-
nually under review as establishment. The sinecure
commands placed under the head of garrisons to be
abolished as vacancies occur, and a new account
opened for rewards for distinguished military ser-
vices to the extent recommended by the committee,
and to be granted as vacancies occur in the sinecure
garrison appointments. The farther_ economical
arrangements and savings contemplated in the en-
suing year are, the transfer of Kilmainham Hospital
to the Board of Ordnance, as a depot for the artil-
lery and engineers in Ireland ; the lease of the
present station at Island-bridge having expired,
and the buildings requiring expensive repairs;
i
the inmates of the hospital being either admitted n
the infirmary or at Chelsea, or permitted to go with
additional allowances on the out-pension at their
option : the abolition of the Board of Army Comp-
trollers. These reductions wilt each produce a sav-
ing of from 11,0001. to 12,0001. a year. The trans-
fer of widows' pensions and half-pay of ordnance
and commissariat departments to the department of
the War-office, by which the same branch of busi-
ness is conducted for the army; and the commis-
sariat expenditure to be entirely transferred to the
department of the War-office. The contracts, 80-)
fur the present to the Board of Ordnance. The
whole payment of the ordnance as well as the com-
missariat transferred to the Secretary at War, to be
conducted through the office of the paymaster
general, so that the whole army expenditure will be
paid under one head, and the two separate establish-
ments for this operation abolished,— Times.
It is now rumoured that Sir John Campbell is
to enter parliament as member for the independent
borough of Morpeth, in which borough Lord Car•
lisle is supposed to have a tolerable quantity of what
Lord John Russell calls the "legitimate influence of
property." We are very desirous, on many ac-
counts, of hailing the learned gentleman's reappear-
