six o'clock last evening, for the Beulah Spa, at Norwood.
The Duke of Cumberland and the Princess Sophia visited their
Majesties yesterday.
A Cabinet Council was held at four yesterday afternoon.

A petition was presented to the House of Lords on
Tuesday, by the Duke of Cumberland, said to be signed by
6.999 freeinen and inhabitants, against the Corporation Reform
Bill. We know there are certain parties in Coventry re-
markably expert in forging signatures, but one might have
supposed that the King's Bench affair would have taught
them to be cautious. According to the last Census (1831)
Coventry contained 5,887 houses. These anti-Reform peti-
tioners, therefore, have represented to the Lords that 1,112
persons more than oue for every house in Coventry are op-
posed to Corporation Reform.—Coventry Herald.

YORK ELECTION.—On the 25th ult. a very ele-
gant and valuable piece of plate was publicly presented by
the York Reformers to C. F. Buckley, Esq., the unsuccessful
opponent of Mr. Lowther, whose return is now to be the sub
Sect of inquiry before the Select Comuittee on the combined
York and Yarmouth cases. An immense assemblage attended
under the windows of the York Hotel after the dinner given
to Mr. 8., to witness the presentation, and enthusiastically
received the speeches made on the occasion. At no distant
period, by the aid of this inquiry, the Tories will be completely
defeated in York. The worst influences were all employed
in the late election—bribery, treating, and intimidation. By
such means nearly 400 promises ►were caused to be broken
which had been freely given to the R,formers on their can-
vass. Upwards of 600 receipts arc now in London, given by
the bribed parties for the letters containing- coin sent to the
eectors since the election, through the medium of the post
otEce.

LIBEL LAW.—We see in the Tipperary Free
Press that its proprietor and editor, Mr Ilacket, has just sus-
tained a verdict of 7501. damages, which, with the costs, are
calculated to entirely ruin him and break up the paper. The
action arose out of the publication of a sketch of some pro-
ceedings in a Committee-room at the last election.

No due, at least none likely to be attended with
succetN, has yet been obtained to the perpetrator of the late
horrid murder in Toxteth-park.

The argument upon which the Corporators of Co-
'ventry rest their case, is, that the powers and privileges with
which they are invested, are held by a tenure which cannot be
taken away by the Report of tile Commissioners. This is a
pretty defence to be set up in the face of the people of Eng-
land ; a pretty story for the " conservators of the Freemen's
rights" to tell the people of Coventry, after having written
the black record of their own deeds—who acknowledge hav-
ing spent during the last four or five years, no less a sum
than 2,263/. 13s. 10d for entertainments, besides nearly 4,0001.
in late—who admit having an income of 2,2421. 17s. a year,
but declare themselves in debt to the amount of upwards of
11,0001—who say as their only subterfuge, that they have lost
their account books up to the year 1831—who call them-
selves trustees of public charities, but who, for want of audit-
log the accounts of their stewards, have buffered large balances
to accumulate which were lost by insolvencies, and replaced by
debts.— Coventry Herald.

AN INCENDIARY.—The church in the village Gres
Schonau, in Prussia, and four houses, were recently burnt to
ashes. The incendiary was a bird which nested in the thatch
of one of the houses. A fire bad been lighted in premises
appropriated to the bleaching of linen ; the bird took up in its
beak a twig, one extremity of which was doubtless in a state of
combustion, for no sooner had she arrived at her
.nest than it
took fire, and communicated the flame to the buildings.

Eight acres of in nd in the parish of Cley, Norfolk,
have this season produced thirty loads of bay, without extra
saanure; and should the season 5e favourable, it is not un-
likely that a second crop as large may .I.'ft pbtairied.—Norfolk
Chronicle.

POLICE INTILLIGENCE.

HATTOiV-GARDEN.

C. S. Inwood was charged with having committed for-
geries to a great amount on his father, Joseph Inwood, Esq.,
of Euston-square. The prisoner is an architect, and until
lately moved in a fashionable circle, but a change in his con-
duct became visible soon after the death of his wife. He formed
an acquaintance with abandoned women, and at length com-
mitted forgeries on his father. 'The discovery of these delin-
quencies had nearly broken his father's heart, and he was
sought and implored to make known the 'extent of the forgc-
ries and return to his family. Entreaties, however, were in
vain, and threats being resorted 'to he armed himself with
pistols, daring any one to molest him. At length he became
so reduced, and not being able to procure cash for his forge-
ries, that he resnlved on the desperate scheme of attacking
father. He entered the house with a bludgeon, and seeing
his father demanded money. His afflicted parent endeavoured
to reclaim him, still promising forgiveness, but without the de-
sired effect ; and the father refusing to furnish him with cash
he demolished a pier glass worth 301., and would probably
have injured some of the family had not two policemen se-
cured him.

The magistrate observed that the case was a melancholy
one, and the prisoner's father having made up his mind to
prosecute, as his life and property were in danger, three cases
forgery, to the amount of 115/. were taker. against the pri-
soner, who stands committed.
