Alderman Copeland -has addressed a letter to his
constituents, vindicating the course he has taken in Parlia-
ment. The sum of his defence is, that he has allied himself
with Stanley ; that, if Ministers will not go on with proper
Reforms, he will agree to turn them out; that a Whig Mi-
nistry could not be formed ; and that he thinks it is for the
good of the Reform cause that the present men should be re-
tained in power, at least for some time.—Northern Whig.

WEDNESD.

Among the political rumours of yesterday it was
said that it has been proposed to Baron Heytesbury to create
him an Earl, if he accepts of the Embassy to the Court of
Russia, and relinquishes his appointment of Governor-
General of India, as an Ambassador of experience is required
at that Court, and it being understood that Lord Jersey has
declined the appointment.
There were fifty-two members of the House of
Commons present at the meeting at Lord Stanley's house,
previous to The discussion on granting the Supply to the Navy,
forty of whom were determined to support his Lordship's po-
litics, he having declared that he would act on the old Whig
principles, but he seemed to think the Reform in Parliament
was complete.—Morning Advertiser.
Sir Charles Pepvs has been mentioned as the pro-
bable successor of Sir Edward Sugden as Lord Chancellor of
Ireland, if he be inclined to accept the office, which, it is said,
he is not. _ _

The Archbishop of Canterbury has been pleased
to collate the Rev. Archibald Hamilton Duthie, Curate of
Nlinster Thanet, to the vicarage of Sittingbourne.
PUBLIC HOUSES AND BEER SHOPS.—Mr. Buck-
in.gham intends to Ering.in a Bill to place these places under
new regulations, and to class them under four heads :—namely,
hotels, taverns, spi:it-shops, and beer-houses ; the number in
each. place to be regulated by the number of inhabitants, and
at the same time to do away with the licensing system by
magistrates. by putting up the public-houses to a Rind of
auction every three years.
PERSONAL IDENTITY—A SINGULAR CASE.—
At the Waterford Assizes, Daniel Savage was found guilty of
the murder of his wife, and ordered for execution on Satur-
day last. The crime was committed nine years ago, and the
murderer, who absconded immediately, has become so much
changed in personal appearance, that it was with the utmost
difficulty he could be identified. A nephew of his own, now
22 years of age, recollected to have heard the deceased scream,
and afterwards saw his uncle carrying her lifeless body out of
the house ; but he could not recognize the prisoner. Mr.
Ronayne, M. P., had known Savage well, in his father's work,
but if the prisoner at the bar were he, he must be the most
altered man possible. Other witnesses also, who had known
the prisoner, failed to identify him ; but the brother of the
deceased and another man swore positively to his person. A
policeman also had extorted a confession from him, which,
though inadmissible as evidence, leave no moral doubt of his
identity-. •
MIDDLEBURG, MARCH 13.—0 n the 9th of this
month there was picked up en the heath on the west coast
of the island of North Beveland a bottle, in which there was
a letter mitten in English, but very illegible, which stated,
that on board of the William Bryan' off the isle of White
(probably Wight), all was well on the loth of February,
1835, wind N. W., and the weather cloudy. The person
who Ends this letter is requested to send it by the post to
M. G. H. Lanxdon, (The name of the place could
not be made out.) It was signed Frederick William Lana-
, don, pi!ot.—Dutch Paper.
