THE SCHEDULES.

The following alterations are made in the schedules :
STRUCK OUT OF THE BlLL.—Alnwick, Henley-upon-Thames,
Llanelly, Machynlleth, Romford, Sutton Coldfield, Yeovil.
MOVED FROM THE FIRST SECTION TO THE SECOND.—Ando-
ver, Banbury, Beverley, Lancaster, Ludlow, Mallon, Ponte-
fract, Richmond, Tewkesbury.
MOVED FROM TIIE SECOND SECTION TO THE FlRST.—Ber-
wick-upon-Tweed, Newport (Isle of Wight).
The Lords have gone " too far." What have the Lords
done? Not only have they mutilated the Bill, but they have
crippled themselves. They have forfeited and lost the confi-
dence of the country and the Commons. They have attempted,
unsuccessfully it will be, to postpone Municipal Reform a gene-
ration. Their man course was to have rejected the Bill on
the second reading inconsistent with their anti-representative
principles. Lord Lyndhurst has over-reached himself, and
done Infinite mischief to the Lords. Every one with ltalf an
eye can see through the device. In the emphatic language of
Lord Brougham, " The Bill is gone I" Let the Lords take
the consequences of their anti-national act in the public senti-
ments expressed on their conduct and the constitution of an
Hereditary Legislature I " The Bill is gone!" unless the
Lords restore it !

THE MINISTERS OF CHARLES X.—The last ac-
counts from Ham are very unfavourable. Prince Polignac is
suffering from a violent attack of gout, and bears in him the
seeds of a complaint which create some fears for his life. .The
sight of M. de Peyronnet is become so weak as to give grounds
for serious apprehensions that it may altogether fail. These
alarming symptoms are occasioned by the rigorous treatment
of the prisoners. The heat renders the rooms allotted to
them almost uninhabitable during the summer, and the ter-
race upon which only they. are allowed to walk, is so com-
pletely exposed to the south, that it is impossible for them to
take the exercise their health requires. We conceive it is
quite time to put an end to a captivity which becomes daily
less reasonable, or probably death will shortly put an end to
it.—Frotta Paper.

This was an issue under the Under-pleader Act, to try
rbether the plaintiff (the alleged husband of Mrs. Bur-
loek, who was hanged here in Spring last for poisoning a
Mrs. Smith) or the defendants, who were appointed trus-
tees wider a deed on her second marriage, were entitled
to receive a sum of 5001., deposited by her in a bank in,
this ' city. Mr. Erle stated the case--Verdict for the
plaintiff.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--LzvEßrooL, duo, 21.

-MURDER.—.Tames Barlow, a man forty years of age,
of a fierce and disagreeable countenance, was indicted for
the wilful murder of his wife, Priscilla Barlow, at Bury,
near Manchester, on the 31st of March. This case ex-
cited great interest in the town, and its result was antici-
pated with much anxiety i❑ the district in which the affair
occurred. The prisoner follows the occupation of a calico

printer. .
The parties lived at Bury, the prisoner. having for some
time been separated from his wife. He had made various
attempts at reconciliation, but she rejected them all, and on
the day in question he went to her house, and asked,
" Mun thee and me live together ? To which she replied,
" No, never, while thee and me lives." He left the house,
but returned soon after, and threw on to her knees a paper
containing an account of his earnings since their separation,
she threw it on the fire, wherev:-.,,r.,apparentlyexasperated
by it, he snatched it back, a,. I then stabbed her in the
throat with a knife which had purchased a week
before, from Mr. Gage. •He lcii it sticking in her
throat, and fled from the house. Of 'these facts there was
no doubt ; they were 'proved ;by a long train of witnesFL:e,
whom Mr. Peel cross-examined, to show that the prisoi,
was insane ; that be had been c9nfined scgne
lunatic asylum, and that his wife, in order to carry on some
illicit connection, hnd lately been trying to procure his re-
confinement. The 'witnesses generally, hoWever, did not
regard him as insane.
The Jury found him Guilty, and the Judge passed sen-
tence of death.

The prisoner will be hanged in the front of Kirkdale
gaol, (a county prison, one mile from Liverpool), at eight
o'clock on Monday morning. ,

CHESTER.

John Stelfox, who formerly kept the King's Arms Inn;
Warrington, was convicted of stealing a horse, the property
of Abraham Youde, of Overton, near Frodsham, on the
17th of May last.

The Learned Judge adverting to, the fact of the prisoner
having been convicted of horse-stealing in the summer as-
sizes in 18.25, and sentenced to death, which was commu-
ted to transportation for seven years, told the prisoner that
since then the law had been altered, and that now the
Judge had no discretion but to pronounce sentence of
transportation for life. His Lordship said, however, that
he wished to take that opportunity of stating thus pub-
licly that transportation was now a very different and a much
more severe punishment than formerly, and that the Go-
vernor of the colonies had now no discretion or power to
commute any portion of the punishment of convicts until
they had served eight years of the most severe hard labour.
He should not be doing his duty to the public if he did
not recommend that the prisoner should be placed in the
second class of convicts, who are put to work on the roads
chained together in gangs—a severity of punishment to
which even death would be preferable.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

AFFAIR or HONOUR.—On Saturday, a gentleman,
named Laurence, was brought before Alderman WILSON
(who sat for the Lord Mayor), by John Forrester, upon a
warrant, for having attempted to provoke Captain Hop-
kins, of the Buckinghamshire East Indiaman, to fight a duel.
Captain Hopkins said, that the defendant had acted as
Purser on board the Buckinghamshire, on the last voyage,
and witness had found it necessary to suspend him. That
suspension, however, had nothing to do with the present
charge. At the Jerusalem Coffeehouse tle defendant
walked up to him, addressed him, and offered him his card.
He, however, declined to have any thing to do with the de-
fendant, who thereupon called him a liar and a coward, and
threatened to post him in the Coffee-house.
Alderman WILSON wished to know, although the answer
would not influence the decision upon the present occasion,
whether the Captain had not reason .to complain of the
conduct upon which the suspension had been founded ?
Captain Hopkins said, that, ho certainly acted upon rea-
sonable_g►rounds in suspending the defendant.

Mr, Laurence admitted that he 11. A.
compigined of, but said that it W:.01 i!lite
require him to give security fir keeping the peace, as he
bad not the least intention of vicilatir7 4. fa consequence
of disagreements between biro and Cslptan. Ilupkies dur-
ing the voyage, the Captain had thought proper to suspend
him ; but at the same time remarked that he (the Cap-
tain) would be amenable ashore. He (defendant), upon
landing, demanded an inquiry, for the satisfaction of him-
self and his brother officers ; but it was refused ; and he

then required an apology of the Captain, who, instead of
making it, said that he (defendant) was no Gentleman, and
that his I 0 U was not worth anything. An application
to the Captain to retract the offensive expression, or to give
his card, was met with a rejection, on which account the
words " liar" and " coward" were Used, as had been de-
scribed, and then the Captain threw himself into the arms
of his nurse, the police officer.

Captain Thacker, the managing ownor of the Bucking-
hamshire, said that the defendant was wrong in saying that
the complainant had used terms of gross offence. In fact,
the defendant was the only person who was chargeable
with the use of expressions of an unbecoming kind. The
defendant had in witness'..s presence required an apology of
Captain Hopkins, and complained of the Captain's con-
duct, but witness said that he felt confident of the Pro-
priety of the Captain's conduct, and certainly an apology
was distinctly refused to be given.
Defendant—Did not Captain Hopkins say that my
I 0 U was not worth anything ? Captain Thacker—No.
He said that it was not worth a pin.—( Laughter.) Cap-
tain Hopkins said that it was not worth a fig, and he
thought he was justified in using that language, as he (the
defendant) had, instead of paying to some servants money
which he had received for them, given his I 0 U for the
amount ; at the same time that other persons were dunning
him for debts.

The defendant asked whether imputations of the kind
could be submitted to with impunity by an Officer?
Captain Hopkins insisted that he was completely justified
in the course he had pursued.
Alderman WILSON said that the defendant must find
bail to keep the peace, himself in 1001. and two sureties in
.50/. each.—The bail was immediately procured.
