MR. FERRAND.

• The following is the Order for this night's proceedings in
the House of Commons, in the case of Mr. Ferrand. The
lively debate of Wednesday night, amusing as it was, sug-
gests nothing to us that we have not already said ; and if we
were to write for years upon the subject we doubt whether
we could exhibit the trumpery character of the whole pro-
ceeding so strikingly as it is exhibited in the following ex-
tract. This is the case which'Messrs. Roebuck, Hume, and

Ward ripped up, after SirJ. Graham and Mr. Hogg had, like
gentlemen and men of sense, suffered it to sleep ten days :
" Complaint made of passages of a speech delivered at a
public meeting which took place in the Music Hall, at Leeds,
in favour of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill, by William Bus-
feild Ferranti, Dig., a Member of this House, as reported in
the Times newspaper of Wednesday, April 10th, 1844:
Newspaper delivered in, and passages complained of res, as
follow :

" I know a little about Sir James Graham ; 1 have, had to
battle against him when fighting the cause of the working
classes in this county; and a man who took steps to procure
a report which was false, merely for the purpose of crushing
a Member of the House of Commons, who raised his voice in
defence of the suffering poor, would not hesitate to keep the
working classes in the manufacturing districts in a state of
degrading slavery. What was his conduct in my own case?
I stuck to the man like a leech. I told him the report of Mr.
Mott, his Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, was false. I was
determined to bring it before the House until justice was done ;
but he feared to meet me, and dismissed the poor tool who
had been his degraded and ignominious instrument in fabri-
cating the injurious report.
" That is not all Sir J. Graham has done of late, for the
purpose of putting down the advocates of the poor in the
House of Commons. You will remember that Mr. Walter
was returned for Nottingham, and I have had the honour of
battling by that gentleman's side the enemies of the poor.
No man has resisted the new Poor-law more rigorously, or
at a greater sacrifice of time and money, than Mr. Walter.
It was, therefore, felt necessary by Sir J. Graham to get
him out of the House of Commons, for Sir James was. a
man who could not bear to hear the truth spoken, especially
on that subject. A petition was presented against Mr. Wal-
ter's return. The Committee sat several days, and entered
into an inquiry as to the alleged bribery and corruption which
Mr. Walter had committed in obtaining his seat. They
could not prove that he had spent one farthing, nor had he;
they could only prove that his friends in the town of Not-
tingham, not his agents, had spent between 3W. and 40?. in
money and what they call treating. The Committee was
divided—there were three Whigs for throwing him out, and.
three Tories for keeping Mr. Walter in, Mr. Hogg, the Mem-
ber for Beverley, one of the most pure boroughs in the king-
dom, forsooth—whether he got his seat for 40/. I do not
know—but this Tory Chairman aided Sir James Graham and
the Government in unseating Mr. Welter. Mr. llogg tried
to explain away his conduct on that occasion ' • the whole of
the Government side of the HOuse, on which I sat, listened
with feelings of disgust while lie higgled and haggled through
his explanation; but there was one man who vociferously
cheered, and that one man was Sir James Graham.'
" Motion made and question proposed,—' That this House
will take the said complaint into consideration upon Friday
next.' Whereupon the previous question was moved, 'That
. that question be now put,' and by leave withdrawn. Origi-
nal question put, and agreed to.
" Ordered, that William Busfeild Ferrand, Esq., do attend
in his place upon Friday."—Herald.

MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES Or. VIE QURENS Or
ENGLAND," VOL.VIL—We are requested to state that Mr.
Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street, has this day pub-
lished the Seventh Volume of Miss Strickland's " Lives

of the Querns of England," comprising the Sequel of the
Life of Queen Elizabt-th, and the complete Life of Anne
of Denmark, first Queen Consort of Great Britain;
which can now be had of all booksellers. Mr. Colborn

has also just published a new edition, with numerous ad-
ditions, of " The Life of Mary, Queen of Scots, illustra-
tive of her Personal History," edited, with an Historical
Introduction and Notes, by Miss Strickland, the three
volumes of the first edition being comprehended in two,
printed uniformly with the " Lives of the Queens,"
price 21s. bound.
The inhabitants of Ware have at length taken a
step which places beyond doubt their resolute determi-
nation consistently to oppose the novel practices intro-
duced into the services at the parish church. They
have decided on converting the Town-hall into a place
of public worship, and on Tuesday last obtained a license
from the county magistrates. We understand that ar-
rangements are being made for the performance of Di-
vine worship exactly in accordance with the usual ser-
vices in the Established Church, and that an eminent
Wesleyan preacher will officiate. Is it possible that
with this fact before him, the Vicar will still persist in
adhering to the " novelties," which have driven the pa-
rishioners to this alternative ?—Her ford Mercury.
LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.—A few days ago Mr.
Joseph Simpson Goodridge, a young gentleman residing with
his mother, at Peckham, was unfortunately attacked with
paralysis of the right side, from which, however, he re-
covered so as to be enabled to walk about with the assistance
of a stick. Meeting with an acquaintance on Monday
last, he communicated the circumstances attending the
attack to him, upon hearing which, the feiend of Mr. Good-
ridge remarked that a second attack of the complaint ge-
nerally carried off the patient, and he at the same time
recommended Mr. Goodridge to be most cautious, otherwise
that would be his fate. Mr. Goodridge, on returning home,
expressed great dread of a second attack, and it appeared,
while labouring under a great deal of nervous excitement,
he retired, unknown to the family, to the rear of the pre-.
mises, and in a shed where lumber was kept he put a period
to his existence, and was found soon afterwards hanging by
the neck from one of the beams. Medical assistance was
procured, but all attempts to produce resuscitation were
unavailing. The body of the deceased awaits a coroner's
inquest.

at this period of the year inculcates the necessityhaof

must give a diffident opinion on such matters. We hope
they will not be distressed when we express our opinion
that the " cap fits" them extremely well. Its appear-
ance is rather Areigo, but so was that of the curvilinear
" chako" at first, which was a Prussian importation.
The " poke" is a far more sensible thing than the up-
and-down affair, which gave no shade or comfort, how
ever knowing might be its look. The leather chin•strap
is bad, hut then that was used latterly with the former
chako; it has an especially shabby appearance, whereas
the lately introduced brass curb chain, fixed on one side
and hooked on to the other—looked both serviceable
and elegant. Why discontinue it ? One great advan-
tage realised by the smallness of this head gear (besides
lightness and comfort) is, that it is so much snore becom-
ing to the figure;—it adds two inches of apparent breadth
to the shoulders. We wish it might furnish a hint in this
way about those monstrosities the Grenadier caps.—
Hampshire Advertiser.
SHEEP STEALING.—We understand that the farmers
in Wester Ross are complaining very much of depreda-
tions among their flocks. Two sheep lately disappeared
from the farm of' Munlochy, and a fine wedder from
Conan farm about eight days ego. It is supposed that
this practice is kept up by some individuals who kill the
sheep and sell them in the towns at a reduced price.
Cheap food is highly desirable ; but,
if it is only to be
got by crime, the sooner en end is put to it the better.
We trust the authorities will spare no efforts to detect
the delinquents, and so put down a system so discredit-
able to the district.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
TIER MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY.—NVINDSOR, Thurs.
Day.—This eve::t was celebrated to-day with the usual de-
monstrations of loyalty and attachment. The bells of thn
parish church, and the Chapel of St. George, were rung at
intervals, from an early hour in the morning, throughout the
day. At noon the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards
marched from the infantry barracks to the Long Walk,
under the command of Colonel Colville, and at one o'clock
fired a fete-de-joit in honour of the day. The troops, after
giving three cheers for their Sovereign, returned to their
quarters.
