LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1835.

UOle all-important measure which the people of the
nited Kingdom have been so long and so anxiously
rieeting, was last night submitted to the House of
ioi°tarnons by Lord JOHN R USSELL, and met, we re-
it) Za to say, with a reception which allows no doubt
the entertained that it will soon be numbered among
''
tr: laws of the land. The Noble Lord's Bill was in-
tiitleed without opposition, ordered to be printed,
4t, appointed to be read a second time on Monday
84a we have given an Official Abstract of the
111 in another column, it is unnecessary for us
T 1 enter into a detail of its various provisions.
e measure seems to us to have been well con-
aaered_to be based on a broad and liberal foun-
ation—and to be well calculated to answer its
professed object. Its fundamental principle, as we
ated yesterday, is popular election; that principle
vtthout which we look upon all attempts to accom-
-141`411. permanent improvement in the administration of
g(111e institutions, is utterly futile and visionary. The
Ziqt'llner who removes an abuse, or redresses a griev-
", has done but half his work, unless he provides
r.il'at their recurrence. The framers of the Corpo-
tloll Reform Bill seem to be impressed with this im-
th°ttant truth. 'They have, by vesting the election of
e Town Council in the inhabitant householders, and
Caking the third part of the Council return to their
ti°r'stituents every year, established a check of suffi-
hetlt efficacy to prevent that mal-administration which
tics prevailed so universally in the English Corpora-
aonl '. This, as we have said, is the foundation of
kt plan of Corporate Reform which the MEL-
woal,j4NE Administration have brought forward, by
41.01 they have redeemed the pledge they gave to the
thti",
Iks and for which they are entitled to the grateful
tstr of every man who regards the amelioration of
-..stitutions as an object of importance.
the
only speech in reply to Lord JOHN RUSSELL
tiL4lllade by Sir R. PEEL ; and though the Right
ti°ll' Baronet nibbled a little at some of the details
the plan, he offered no opposition to its principles.
threw out a hint whether elections, coming so fre-
fe etritlY, might not be objectionable, on account of the
ittaent and excitement they would necessarily occa-
-1)1, 3 forgetting, it would appear, that he was here
tiet4ching a doctrine not a little at variance with his prac-
klle There is nothing in the objection. We are per-
tl4tied, that the proposed plan will cause less excitement
ttl if the election of the tehole Council were biennial
thitttiennial. We are bound however to acknowledge,
till, the speech of the Right Honourable Baronet is
tt,)t aeterised by a tone of liberality which we did
kh "(Peet, and which we think will effectually disarm
L klePPosition to the measure Which may have been
Itated in the House of Lords. Sir ROBERT has
hrt for some time gliding away from the Tory
Y. Why does he not snap the chain at once ?

St as the House was bout to adjourn last night,
oft' RuNtE rose, and called its attention to the subject
tt the full court dress adopted at the Speaker's
t)itttees, observing, " I can say of my own knowledge,
t many individuals, during the time I have been a
itletilber of Parliament, have been prevented from pay-
their respects to the Speaker, at the levees which
of a Place about this period of the year, in consequence
to 'ls being obligatory upon them to attend in the
tqt Costume of bag-wig and sword." This is not
e wondered at, for nothing can possibly be more
of °Ying to a novice than the preposterous appendage
t‘„ `"e sword. It makes a point either of getting be-
bißeh legs, committing an assault and battery on
''llll1-bone, or tripping up the unhappy gentleman
I:l4:diately behind him. As for the bag-wig, it is, if
ible, a still greater nuisance. We say nothing of
om°lllpelling the wearer to look the exact image of an
t)11.1 an ivy bush ; but conceive how oppressive it
iber be, in weather like the present, when the thermo-
tturiej is at full summer-heat, and even a hat is an in-
th4urance I Really, it is high time to do away with
tthee solemn fopperies of costume, which answer no
Purpose than that of showing how exquisitely
Noellloos it is possible for men to make themselves.
Ptett 1%. Sergeant 'WILDE, the other day, was so op-
ktilsed with the weight of his official wig, that he was
izltially compelled to ask permission of the Privy
theteil to lay it aside ; and it was only last year, at
lot like of WELLINGTON'S installation as Chancel-
tlit4°l Oxford, that his Highness of CUMBERLAND
''l,l2gled a bishop in his sword, and compelled the
lVLtrev. Prelate to met tire' length on the
p' We have good reasonto beiicve dint it was
h th lIILLPOTTs who was thus propelled downwards
ejuree of specific gravitation ; but be this as it
" costume that gives rise to such ridiculous—

and, as respects the catastrophe of the bishop—such
irreverend perplexities—should at' once be put an end
to. Hon. Members can testify quite as much respect
for their Speaker in the ordinary attire of gentlemen,
as if they were bobbing at him in a bag-wig and pig-
tail ; or stumbling in hiB presence, with a sword between
their legs, amidst the laughter of the convulsed by-
standers. We once had the pleasure of seeing Mr.
HUME in a wig of this grotesque character, and a
sword, which, half escaped from its sheath, was
threatening destruction to all around him ; and can
bear honourable testimony to the reasonableness of the
Hon. Member's dislike to such appendages.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 30th ult.
have been received. On the 27th the QUEEN in per-
son closed the Session of the Cortes by a speech from
the Throne. Her MAJESTY'S reception in Madrid
was rather dispiriting, owing to a general impression
that she had sanctioned the motion made by TORENO
in the Chamber of Procuradores, for the rejection of
the Bill for the regulation of the internal debt, which
motion was carried without any regard to the just com-
plaints of the public creditor. We cannot understand
on what principles of State policy TORENO founded
his objections to this Bill. We are confident that if
he really intended the downfall of the QUEEN'S Go-
vernment—if he purposed weakening the influence of
Spain in other countries—if he desired to diminish
Spanish credit, by proving the nation destitute of
honour and good faith—if he even designed greater
evils than these—he could adopt no means whereby he
could better accomplish them than by acting as he has
acted with regard to this Bill. Nine months ago we
were assured that Spain would not defraud her creditors
to the amount of sixpence--that her Church and Ab-
bey lands were all to be brought under the hammer,
and that the proceeds, after providing a suitable life
provision for superannuated Monks and Nuns, would
be applied to the liquidation of the public debt. On
the strength of these assurances the Government was
enabled to contract for a new loan, and the commer-
cialists of England and France were induced to ex-
change their cash for Spanish Securities. But of what
value are such assurances after this bare-faced robbery
of the internal creditor ? Is it to be expected that
after Spain has got rid of the difficulties that now
press upon her, she will pay more respect to the claims
of foreigners than she does now to those of her own
citizens ? Most certainly not. We are aware that
the foreign debt has been recognised by a solemn act
of the Cortes ; but surely there is some reason to fear
that a legislative body which scrupled not to annul the
equitable claims of its own natural subjects, may not
hesitate, when occasion serves, to rescind the vote by
which it bound itself to liquidate a debt due to
foreigners. We shall not, however, enter into
the merits of this question at any considerable length,
till the whole of the details are before us. Our
readers will remember that we were not among those
who inculcated a reliance on the good faith of Spain.
During the whole time that M. ARDOUIN was con-
tracting for the New Loan, we, day after day, and
week after week, besought British merchants not to
expose the country to heavy losses, by dabbling in
Spanish Securities.
The ceremonies which attended the prorogation of
the Cortes were sufficiently impressive. The English,
French, and American Ministers, and the Charges
d'Affaires of Portugal, Denmark, and Sweden, Bel-
gium, Austria, Russia, Prussia, Holland, Naples, and
Sardinia, were all present. The following is a copy
of the Royal Speech :
" Illustrious Proceres and Gentlemen Procurados of the King-
dom,—On finding myself in the midst of the Cortes, at the solemn
act of closing the present Legislature, I have the satisfaction of
calling to mind, that notwithstanding the critical circumstances in
which they were assembled, and the evils which civil discord pro-
duces, the hopes which I formed on re-establishing an institution
so ancient and so salutary have not been deceived.
" The law promulgated against the misguided Prince who as-
pires to usurp the throne has completely fixed the seal of reproba-
tion on a cause which is at once so contrary to the ancient laws and
customs of the realm, and at the same time so opposed to the ge-
neral will of the nation, manifested by its lawful organs, and spon-
taneously ratified with its sacrifices and efforts.

" Painful and deeply to be lamented is the prolongation of a con-
flict the results of which cannot be doubtful, but which in the in-
terval devastates some provinces worthier of a better lot, and pre-
vents the consolidation of peace in the others. I rely, however, as
a means of putting an end to a war between brothers, and of esta-
blishing tranquillity over the whole kingdom, on the resources
which have been so generously arranged by the Cortes—on the va-
lour and constancy of the army,----on the decision and patriotism of
the Urban Militia, and on the firmness which is the distinctive
mark of this magnanimous nation when it has announced in the
face of the world its resolution.

"It also serves as a point d'appui to such consoling hopes, to
perceive that every day I receive fresh testimonials of friendship
and sincere good wishes on the part of my august allies, whose
promises, already specified in the most solemn treaties, offer a new
guarantee to the triumph of the legitimate cause. The other
Powers, who have recognized as Queen of Spain my illustrious
daughter, exhibit the same benevolent disposition, and even those
Governments which suppose it convenient to suspend the said re-
cognition, have shown no intention nor desire of interfering in a
question properly and exclusively belonging to Spain, while, on the
contrary, it is but fair to expect that the wisdom and cautious pro-
ceedings of all the Cabinets will soon convince them that the com-
plete pacification of all the Peninsula, under the protecting shade
of the throne of my august daughter, is the sole means of closing
the door against dangerous re-actions and changes, and a necessary
element for the general repose of Europe.
"It would be useless to call to your recollection the important
labours in which you have been so much engaged, and the beneficial
laws which will continue to the nation as an honourable legacy from
this session : if they were nothing more than the careful exami-
nation of the estimates of the expenses.and receipts of the realm,
they would serve as an infallible proof that having begun a career
of publicity and of order, pernicious abuses can no longer exist,
and that salutary reforms must successively continue to take root in
the country.

" In the branch of finances alone the most important measures
have been adopted, such as the regulation of the foreign debt, an
arrangement in itself previously indispensable for opening the dried
up sources of public credit, and for finding (as, indeed, they have
already been found) resources for meeting, in extraordinary cir-
cumstances, the expenses of the State, without being obliged to
oppress the people with new taxes and contributions. If the great
importance of the subject—if the variation of opinions—if indispen-
sable delays, have prevented in this Session, already so much pro-
longed and so fatiguing, the arrangement of the home debt, it will
however serve the Government, by collecting together a mass of
matter and dates, and by removing on its part all obstacles and dif-
ficulties; and the creditors of the State will find the greatest ad-
vantages, when this subject shall be again presented to the delibera-
tion of the Cortes, without however preventing that in the interval
between the one and the other Legislature the Government should
continue to apply all the means in its power to satisfy any lawful
demand in the manner most equitable to the applicant, and which
may be considered most favourable for establishing and strengthen-
ing the credit of the nation.
" But this most important object, as well as the other reforms
and ameliorations to which the Government may direct its atten-
tion and its efforts, may all be sadly disappointed if, at all risks, the
tranquillity of the country and the maintenance of order be not in-
sured ; and although I be desirous of blotting out from my memory
all recollections of the events which have occurred in various parts
of the kingdom, I have thought it meet that you should hear from
my own lips the expressions of satisfaction with which I have ii-
ceived your loyal addresses while offering your efficacious co-opera-
tion towards obtaining that end, which is necessarily the interesting
end of developing public industry, and at the same time of giving
credit and stability to the actual institutions.
" They are the strongest cement of the throne of my illustrious
daughter, the protecting shield of all the rights of the nation, the
pledge and bond of its future glory. Do you, illustrious Proceres,
and you, gentlemen Procuradores, of the kingdom, inculcate these
principles on the minds of the inhabitants of the country : let your
care and attention be directed from your own homes to the mainte-
nance and preservation of these principles ; and although you be
not employed in the performance of the important duties of legis-
lators, your zeal will not be badly employed in favour of them and
of your native country."
This document is not likely to be very satisfactory to
the great bulk of the Spanish nation. It is too gene-
ral, and states nothing definitely. The representatives
of the kingdom are neither told when they will be
called together again, nor what measures are proposed
to be taken for the more immediate extinction of the
rebellion in the north.

It is positively affirmed that MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA
has sent in his resignation, and that the QUEEN has
accepted it. The fact will not be publicly announced
until TORENO has succeeeded in constructing a new
cabinet. There are various rumours afloat respecting
the causes of the retirement of MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA, which, in our opinion, are too insignificant to
be gravely considered. That intrigues have been car-
ried on during the last six months to the prejudice of
that Minister, we know very well; but that ToRENo
was at the bottom of them, we are inclined to believe to
be unfounded.

A number of the secret agents of DON CARLOs
are at work in Madrid, plotting conspiracies for the
overthrow of the Government. Several of them have
been recently discovered, and henceforth the safety of
the capital will occupy a proper share of the vigilance
of the Government.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have
been received. Their contents are unimportant. The
Chamber of Deputies sat en Wednesday, when the
supplil>s den-rnd,•d ! v the Minister of the InteriorY
NN ere granted. The Chamber of Peers sat on Wed-
nesday also, but pronounced no sentence on the Ad-
vocates found guilty of violating the privileges of the
Peerage. We have learned, however, from an

authentic source, that the Chamber decided upon
the punishment to be inflicted upon the actual
writers and publishers of the letter of the 11th of
May. M. BICHAT, responsible editor of the defunct
Tribune, and M. JAFFRENAU, responsible editor of
the Reformateur, were each sentenced to pay the
maximum of the fine allowed by law—namely, 10,000
francs, and to suffer one months' incarceration.
M. MICHEL, one of the writers of the letter, was con-
demned to undergo the same punishment; but M.
TRELAT was secretly sentenced to bear the maximum
of both penalties, viz. to pay a fine of 10,000 francs,
and to be incarcerated for three years. The other sen-
tences were not determined upon; and it was thought that
the case of M. AUDRY de PUYRAVEAU the Deputy,
would create much disunion in the Chamber. It is
now notorious that neither the Hon. Deputy, nor the
persons on whom sentence remains to be passed, were
guilty of the offence of which they were accused. The
Chamber will therefore expose itself to some danger in
attempting to punish persons whose innocence is no
longer doubtful.
The latest intelligence from Bayonne is rather
unfavourable. It is reported that two regiments have
deserted the standard of the QUEEN, and joined Don
CARLOS. These reports have caused a depression in
the prices of the Three per Cents. on the Paris
Bourse. We are, however, assured that the report
of the desertion of any part of the QUEEN'S troops
is a vile fabrication, set afloat by the stock-jobbers.
The following extraordinary event is from the .[lessa-
ger, dated the 4th instant
NICE, MAY 25.—A young man has been found on the sea-shore
near this town, bound hand and foot, and with a handkerchief tied
fast-over his mouth. The carabineers of the next post being im-
mediately informed, carried him to their barracks, with all the
precautions prescribed by the officer of the Board of Health. The
following is all we have learnt respecting him :
" He is an Englishman, son of a dealer in gunpowder, arms, and
other contraband goods. He left London in an English ship for
Constantinople. He had arrived off Nice, when, in the night of
the 23d, at eleven o'clock, the captain and one of the crew waked
him, and ordered him to go on deck. They soon put him on board
a boat, and left him on the beach, as he was found.

" It is evident that the captain and his crew intended to seize on
the cargo, which doubtless belonged to the young man or to his
father, and they are gone to sell it either to Don Carlos or Chris-
tina. It is to be hoped that they may fall into the hands of some
cruiser, and that justice may be done."

German Papers of the latest dates have been re-
ceived. The public press, a great part of which is
under the control of Prussia, is labouring might and
main to enforce the speedy ratification, by all the
Powers, of the German Commercial Union. The
chief recommendation of this compact is stated to be,
the check which it will put on the commercial industry
of France and England.

The interest excited by the Oaks is se trifling, when compared
to the Derby, that a large company is seldom attracted to witness
it. The show yesterday was quite as good as we have been accus-
tomed to see, and vastly superior to the assemblage on either of the
first two days. There was a tolerable sprinkling of fashionables,
but it would be useless to give a list, as it would only include names
which have already appeared. The running yesterday was not close
enough to be interesting to casual spectators, but it served to prove
what we have asserted more than once, that the Newmarket three
years old this season are very moderate. We give particulars of the

After only one false start they got off, Waresti taking the lead,
followed by Martha and Preserve, next to whom were Eva and
Bodice ; in these positions they mounted the hill at a pace which,
without being severe, was sufficiently strong to find out the ragged
ones, for even at this early part of the race the tailing commenced ;
in fact it was already decided. Eva now went in front, and with
Preserve and Queen of Trumps lying with her, took them round
the turn at a diminished pace; having accomplished this she de-
clined, and the Queen of Trumps and Preserve singled themselves
out, ran in company to the distance, where the former went out,
and had all the rest of it to herself. She won in a common canter,
by two lengths, and could have doubled or trepled it had it been
required of her. She is one of the finest mares ever bred, has
splendid action when stretched, and will prove a dangerous customer
for the Doncaster St. Leger. She appeared to us to go rather lame
when walking, but we were informed that this is a defect in her
action, which is not very good in her slow paces. This may also
be observed of Mundig, who is rather an awkward goer till he is
put out. The third was beaten about two lengths from the second;
and for the manner and quantity of beating received by the others,
it is only necessary to refer to the figures set opposite their names.
They were all placed, a circumstance unparalleled in any race of
equal importance. The pace was as good as Waresti could make
it, and that was but middling ; while Eva was making play it was
bad, and afterwards pretty fair, but at no part of the race did it
amount to more than a gallop for the winner. It is not a little
mortifying to the south-country sportsmen that the winner of the
Derby was bred in the north, trained by a Yorkshire trainer, and
ridden by a Yorkshire jockey, and that the winner of the Oaks
was bred and trained in Wales, and jockied by a Yorkshire jockey !
The Newmarket people have not had such a dressing for the last
dozen years. Value of the stakes (subject to the usual deductions)
two thousand seven hundred pounds. Previous to the race, 1,000
to 50 was taken that Preserve won the Oaks and Ascot the St.
Leger. The winner is out of Princess Royal (Prince Llewellyn's

on the arrangement made by the Baron Tessier for the accommoda-

never been so well kept since we have been in the habit of attending
it. The receipts in the Grand Stand surpassed last year by a con-
siderable sum.

THE OUTRAGES AT WOLVERHAMPTON.-EX-
CLUSION OF THB PRESS AND THE PUBLIC.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
WOLVERHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.-Sir Frederic Roe, the
Police Magistrate, came down here last night to conduct the
inquiry promised to be made, by Government, into the late af-
fray—the people here were consequently quite sanguine that
justice would have been done them if they could prove they
were aggrieved, and the gentlemen before whom the deposi-
tions forwarded to Government were taken felt confident that
the opportunity would be afforded to them of justifying them-
selves before the country in the course they thought it neces-
sary to pursue, and of repelling the charges so insidiously
made against them in some of the metropolitan journals of
factious motives. The matter, however, it seems, is to be a
humbug—a farce, in my opinion—got up for scenic effect, in
which Sir F. Roe is to perform all the characters, from the
manager to the prompter—nay, to the prompter's call-boy
--having for his audience Mr. Gurney, the short-hand
writer, and his clerk. The public and the press have
been refused admittance, and yet it is boldly stated
that the inquisition has been instituted for the pur-
pose of tranquillizing public excitement ; if it can have this
effect, then must the people possess an intuitive power
of ascertaining occurences without the exercise of their
senses, the nature of which I have yet to learn. The course
pursued by Sir F. Roe is, according to his own statement,
adopted upon his own responsibility, and without instructions
to that effect by Government, and I really believe it, conscious
as I am that none of his Majesty's present advisers would
authorise so imbecile, to say the least, a mode of proceeding ; (
if the fever of agitation is to he allayed, will it be so by the
application of a remedy after the social system has been for
months deceased ? for I understand that it is Sir F. Roe's
intention that no portion of the evidence shall transpire until
the minutes are laid upon the table of the House of Commons ;
but must the public mind remain during this interval—fre-
quently a lengthened one—in suspense as to the facts that
have been deposed to, of the contradictory evidence, of the
probable false testimony alleged to—for Sir Frederick has not
the power to take sworn evidence—and of the probable results
of all three combined upon their claims to justice. It is ridi-
culous to suppose, more especially as the excitement which
prevails here at present amongst all classes is intense, in con-
sequence of Sir Frederick's intimation—this excitement must
be allayed. Sir F. Roe must be superseded, or directed to
abandon his extraordinary chimera of a hole and corner inqui-
sition, if the matter is intended to wear even the semblance of
equity. I have not time to inclose you any more particulars of
the transaction than those I subjoin. At an early hour this
morning it was generally rumoured that Sir F. Roe intended to
pursue his inquiry privately, and to glean the facts of the occur-
rences in the best way he could, without assistance, or any
knowledge of the evidence which individuals could give. The
representatives of the London Morning Papers met in conse-
quence, and deputed Mr. Woods, as the senior reporter pre-
sent, to wait upon Sir Frederick, and learn if this was the case.
The following is the statement of the interview, as afforded
me by Mr. Woods :
" I called upon Sir F. Roe at the Swan, and stated that I
came on the part of the several London papers, who had their
reporters here, to ask if the Court was to be open.—Sir F.
Roe replied, Certainly not.' I observed that I meant ' open.'
as far as the admission of the press.--Sir Frederick answered,
I so understand it ; I cannot admit the press, or any others
to be present, except the parties who may come before me to
state what they know, touching the object of the inquiry.'
He added, You will perceive, that the object of my being
sent down by the Government, is to collect a body of evidence,
the fullest I can from all parties ; that object I must attain the
best way I can. I shall examine all the witnesses who may
be presented to me. I have got Mr. Gurney, the short-hand
writer here, and he, as you are aware, will take the whole
down fully; and it will be my duty simply to lay the evidence
so collected before Government. In that sense I look upon
the inquiry as quite private, and must therefore decline your
application. Of course you will understand that my refusal
is not meant in any way offensive to any gentleman connected
with the press.'
" To this I answered, that of course I must bow to his de-
cision whatever it was, for that, however I might regret it,
or differ from the grounds on which it was made, I could not
contravene it; but I begged to be allowed to suggest that one
great object of the inquiry, as I believed it was understood
and looked for by the public, was, that it should be an open
one, which it could not be if the press be excluded. I added,
that it would tend greatly to neutralize, if not altogether de-
stroy, the satisfaction created by the appointment of the in-
quiry, if it were conducted in private.
" Sir F. Roe—' Well, Sir, I must act on my own character,
and take the responsibility on myself; my character is well
known, and standing upon that I am decided as to the course
I shall take.'
" To this I replied, that every one acquainted with Sir F.
Roe's character must be satisfied, that whatever he did was
dictated by a high sense of justice and honour, but I begged
to add, that Sir Frederick was not known to many in the
country ; but even if he were, I thought that a great majority
of the community would be always suspicious of the acts of a
public man, from whom the control of publicity was removed.
" Sir F. Roe added—' Well, Sir, I shall stake my character
on it. Ido not think I should discharge my duty in conduct-
ing what I think should be a private inquiry, if I admitted
the public.'
" I here begged to remind Sir Frederick of one point, which
he seemed to overlook, namely, that the exclusion of the press
would not necessarily exclude the publication of much of the
evidence given in the room, for there was nothing from prevent-
ing any one who might choose to do so from asking any wit-
ness on leaving the room to state the principal facts to which
he had deposed • nor was there any thing to prevent any wit-
ness from publishing the statement of the evidence which he
gave. Statements of evidence would thus go before the pub-
lic, but in an imperfect manner ; and thus the whole of Sir
Frederick's object in excluding the reporters would be de-
feated. I added, that I myself, if he excluded the reporters,
would not apply to any witness for a statement of his evidence;
but I could not answer for what others might do—nor for the
witnesses themselves not publishing what they had stated. I
again pointed out to him the inutility of excluding the press on
the ground that it would prevent the publication of reports.
" Sir F. Roe—' I cannot tell that ; it is done every day in
London.' "

The following letter was then enclosed in another from Mr.
Woods, at our request, to Mr. Robinson, the Clerk of the Ma-
gistrates of the district, requesting their official interference, in
order to prevent the court of inquiry from being closed :
" The reporters of the Times, Herald, Post, and Advertiser,
London Journals, present their compliments to Mr. Robinson,
and beg to state to him, for the information of Messrs. Briscoe,
Hill, and Clare, the magistrates acting for this town and
neighbourhood, that, by the decision of Sir F. Roe, they have
been excluded from the investigation now going on into the
late disturbances here. They beg to ask, through you,
whether such exclusion has received the sanction of the ma-
gistrates? and if not, whether the magistrates have any ob-
jection to apply to Sir F. Roe, with the view to induce him
to re-consider his decision in this respect?
( Signed)
" For self and friends of the above-mentioned Journals,

" Geo. Robinson, Esq. " J. D. WOODS."
To this letter the following reply was returned :
" Friday Mcrning, half-past 12 o'clock.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Rev. Mr. Clare and Mr. Hill
to inform you that, individually, they have no objection to the
publicity of any proceedings affecting them, but they cannot
interfere with the arrangements of Sir Frederick Roe.
" Mr. Briscoe has not yet arrived in Wolverhampton.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" GEO. ROBINSON.
dr. I " Mr. J. D. Woods, New Hotel." •

In consequence of this refusal of the Magistrates to inter-
fere, we then considered it was a duty due by us to the public
to state to Sir F. Roe our opinion of the very unusual, and in-
deed unprecedented, line of procedure adopted by him, and
to protest against it in such terms as we considered the cir-
cumstances warranted; the following remonstrance was there-
fore forwarded by Mr. Woods to Sir Frederick Roe :
" New Hotel, Friday Morning.
" The undersigned Reporters of the London Press, who have
been in attendance here for some days, to watch and report
the progress of the investigation into the late disturbances,
beg, on the part of the Press generally—and more especially
on behalf of those Journals which they immediately represent
—to protest against their exclusion from an inquiry which
they cannot but think was meant to be public.

No reply to this was returned by Sir Frederick Roe. The
public here were, however, determined that the inquiry should
be conducted in such a manner as would answer the purposes
for which it was demanded—the achievement of the ends of
justice—or that they would not lend themselves to what ap-
peared to be a palpable hoax. A large number of the respect-
able inhabitants met at the Peacock Inn, where, presently
after, the Rev. Mr. Roaf received the following note from
Sir Frederick Roe :

" Sir Frederick Adair Roe presents his compliments to
Mr. Roaf, and having come down by the desire of Lord John
Russell to obtain the fullest information respecting the occur-
rences in this town on the 27th ult., and having understood
from his Lordship that he had received communications from
Mr. Roaf on the subject, begs the favour of seeing him at his
earliest convenience.—Swan Inn, Wolverhampton, June 5,
1835."
Mr. Roaf, in consequence, immediately waited upon Sir F.
Roe, and learned from him his determination that the inquiry
should be strictly private, the only persons permitted to be
Present being Mr. Gurney, the short-hand writer, and his own
clerk. lie learned also that this determination of Sir Frede-
rick was unauthorised by Government, being altogether one of
his own adoption. Mr. Rost' remonstrated as to the ill effects
this mode of action was likely to produce. Sir Frederick
would not, however. alter his resolution, and the result of the
interview was that Mr. Roaf went as he came, with the ex-
ception of the following document :
" Sir Frederick Roe's object is to obtain the fullest infor-
mation respecting the occurrences at Wolverhampton on the
27th ult., and for that purpose he is anxious to take the exa-

speak from personal observation as to the state of the town
on the 26th and 27th ult., and progressively during the course
of the latter day till the military were called in, the subse-
quent occurrences, and the conduct of the troops, and he
will be glad to be furnished with the names of the indi-
viduals who can make statements on the above points with
a note (if possible) as to the facts to which each of them can
speak.—Wolverhampton, June 5."
When the result of the interview was communicated to the
meeting, there was but one opinion expressed as to Sir F.
Roe's conduct, and the evil tendency of a closed inquiry,
which it was justly resolved would defeat the objects which it
was to be supposed were contemplated. It was then proposed
that a deputation should wait on Sir Frederick, and request
that he would at least permit one person from each side, and
the gentlemen of the press, to be present, as it was considered
that this would be a sufficient guarantee for a properly orga-
nised inquiry, and the people would learn that their interests
were not neglected. The following note was in consequence
forwarded to Sir F. Roe :
" Mr. Roe/ presents his compliments to Sir F. Roe,
and having communicated to some friends the nature of the
interview with which he has been honoured, begs to know
whether Sir Frederick would again allow him a few moments'
attention, in company with one or two gentlemen, who feel deep.
interest in the present case.—Peacock Inn, Friday morning."
Sir F. Roe returned a verbal reply that he would receive
the deputation, and he was accordingly waited on by Messrs.
Roaf, Walker, and Wynn, who, when they returned, informed
the meeting that Sir Frederick had refused to accede to their
suggestions. A message was, however, presently brought to
Mr. Roaf, stating that Sir F. Roe, convinced by a portion of
what they had urged, would permit one person from each side
to be present, in order to obviate his ignorance of the locali-
ties of the town, and of the circumstances generally, if they
would pledge themselves not to take any notes, or divulge the
proceedings. He would not, however, consent that the press
should be admitted. The following letter was then sent to.
Sir F. Roe :

" Peacock Inn, One o'Clock.
" Sir,—lt gives me great pain even to appear careless of
your opinion and wishes; but I am so situated with relation to
the people of this town, and more particularly the gentlemen
who have proceeded with me in the matter of the recent affray,
that I cannot allow my feelings to guide my conduct. We
have considered your kind concession of the point of one per-
son on each side being present at your inquiry, and feel greatly
obliged by your consideration of our request. Still, Sir, we
feel that our redress is (if at all) to be obtained from public
opinion, and cannot consent to have our evidence by any means
kept from the public eye. We do not expect to reach the
public through the medium of the House of Commons, and,
therefore, must request your allowance of reporters, to take
down the testimony of the parties before you. If, therefore,
you cannot allow this indulgence, we hope you will suspend
your inquiry till we have communicated with his Majesty's
Ministers. I have the honour to be, Sir,
" To Sir F. A. Roe, &c. &c. " J. ROAF."
To this letter Sir F. Roe sent the subjoined reply :
" Swan Inn, Wolverhampton,
" June 5, Two, p. m.
_ _

" SIR, I beg to acknowledge your note requesting tie, as
the gentleman who have proceeded with you in the matter of
the recent affray do not expect that the evidence will reach the
public through the medium of the House of Commons, to
allow the reporters to take down the testimony of the parties
before me, and suggesting that if I cannot allow that indul-
gence that I should suspend my inquiry till you have commu-
nicated with his Majesty's Ministers ; and I beg leave, in re-
ply, to acquaint you that the ends of justice will be best at-
tained by carrying on the examination in the presence of the
gentlemen proposed, who will favour me with their sugges-
tions, and by no parts of the evidence being made public till
the whole is concluded. I am unable to comply with your
wishes, and in the conviction that I am adopting the fairest
course towards all parties, I cannot consent to delay going
into the investigation.
" I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
" FRED. A. ROE.

" P. S. I shall feel obliged to you to let me know whether
you can favour me with your attendance, or what other gentle-
man will come, as all parties are, I believe, ready.
" To the Rev. Mr. Roaf."

The meeting being then conscious that the ends of justice
and tranquillisation could not be answered by Sir F. Roe's
manner of proceeding, and determined not to lend themselves
to a worse than useless inquiry, passed the following resolu-
tion, which was transmitted to Sir F. Roe.
" Resolved,—That we feel our characters are at stake in
the investigation which is about to take place upon charges
which we have transmitted to London, we cannot for one mo-
ment consent to appear before a private tribunal—that we
cannot conceive upon what principles the public should be
excluded from an investigation in which they are the party
chiefly interested, and that if the evidence which has to be
brought forward is not taken down by the agents of the public
press, it may be very long before it reaches the public ; that
very false evidence may be tendered to Sir F. Roe, without
any means of detection, exposure, and contradiction being af-
forded in time to be of service, we therefore must respectfully
decline to bring forward evidence, or in any way interfere in an
inquiry from which the public press are to be excluded."
This Resolution was passed unanimously, and then trans-
mitted to Sir F. Roe, by the Rev. Mr. Roaf, with the follow-
ing letter :

" Peacock Inn, Half-past Two o'clock.
" Sir—ln consequence of your favour to myself, declining
.he evidence to be made public, except through a private
channel, the gentlemen who have favoured me with their sup-
port and advice, in the recent agitation in this town, adopted
a Resolution, which I have the honour to transmit as enclosed.
" I beg to add that Reporters for the London press have
been present in this room throughout the morning, and in all
probability will to-morrow morning publish what has passed ;
we are therefore obliged to forward to the Executive Govern-
ment, and our Parliamentary friends, a statement of the pre-
sent position of the case.
" I have the honour to be,
" To Sir F. Roe, &c. &c. " J. ROAF."
Presently afterwards the following letter was received from
Sir F. Roe :
" Swan Inn, Wolverhampton, June 5, Quarter-past 3, p.m.
" Sir—l beg to acknowledge your note, bearing date, half-
past two, p.m., which I have just received, transmitting to me
a resolution to decline bringing forward any evidence in the
inquiry which I am about to institute ; but as it does not ap-
pear by whom that resolution is signed, I fear I must trouble
you once more by requesting you to favour me with the names
of the gentlemen who decline assisting me by giving their tes-
timony.
" It would be neither agreeable to me, nor probably wished
by you, that any further correspondence should take place be-
tween us on this subject ; but I cannot but observe that what-
ever opinion your friends may entertain of the propriety of the
course I have determined to adopt, the resolution in no way
notices the arrangement I had acceded to at your request
to admit yourself, or any friend to watch the proceedings,
with the express view, as stated by you and your friends,
of checking and contradicting any false evidence which
might be tendered.
" I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
" FRED. A. ROE."

Mr. loaf then wrote to Sir F. Roe, stating the names of
the persons present. A letter was also forwarded by this even-
ing's post to Lord John Russell, staling the occurrences of the
day, and requesting that any inquiry into the late transactions
should be public : this must be assented to, as lam certain
that otherwise nothing will be elicited, whilst the ferment of
popular feeling will be much increased.
