[MORNING HERALD.]

On the debate which took place in the Commons
on allowing Counsel to felons, the Attorney-General
objected to it on the ground that Counsel would only
tend to perplex and obscure the clearest evidence.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was asked why
then allow it in civil causes ? No answer was given,
but perhaps one was understood—the ends of justice
and the ends of lawyers do not always exactly coin-
cide. If the Counsel for the defendant were prohi-
bited from addressing the Jury, what would become
of one-half of our eloquent barristers ? and, besides,
there are so few felons capable of feeing eminent Coun-
sel, that it would not be worth while making any
change on their account. He was likewise asked, why
allow it in cases of misdemeanor and not in capital
charges ? The answer was that the system had been
long tried, and found to answer well in the former in-
stance; in the latter it was only theoretical. It had not
been tried, and consequently it was dangerous to make
the experiment. Can that system be called theoreti-
cal winch has been in use for ages in a neighbouring
country ? But such often are the arguments sug-
gested by the " fear of change which perplexes Mo-
narchs" and Lawyers. The most powerful of
all the arguments, however, remains to be mentioned
—it would be injurious to the interest of the prisoner,
because the Counsel for the prosecution would have
the right to reply. If we are not mistaken, the Coun-
sel for the prisoner has always the right of reply in
Scotland, where the system has been found to work
so well. And why might it not be allowed in Eng-
land ? Agreeably to the humanity of the English law
the prisoner is always entitled to the benefit a a'
doubt, and why should his Counsel not be entitled on
the same principle to the benefit of reply ? It was
said that justice was more impartially administered in
England than in any other country. We would just
ask where will there be found in the present age such
instances of mal-administration of justice as the three
which have occurred within these two years ? Two
men and a woman were condemned to death, and
would have been executed for crimes of which they
were innocent, but for accidental circumstances, and
the vigilance of the Home Secretary. Was it likely
that these could have occurred if Counsel had been
allowed to address the Jury, and to describe to them
the infamous characters of some of the witnesses, and
the defects in the Chain of circumstantial evidence
brought forward. From all that we can learn from
the arguments of those opposed to Mr. Lamb's mo-
tion, we can see no reason why, if Counsel are allowed
in cases of high treason, and misdemeanours, and in
civil causes, they should be denied to persons charged
with felony.

law was put in a juxta position tvith other laws, it appeared
harsh. All his intended amendments would however be better
understood printed in the bill. Thirty pages would contain the
whole Statute Law of England relating to larceny. The Com-
mittee would perhaps allow his amendment to be printed, and the
further consideration of the bill to be postponed.
Mr. DENMAN had never been able to consider the amount
of property stolen, at all material, In considering the punishment
due to the offence of stealing in the dwelling-house. The crime
of stealing a pocket book worth ten shiilings, was as criminal as
stealing one of the value of 10001. He could see no difference
in the crime.
Mr. ESTCOURT was happy to find that his Right Hon.
Friend intended to alter the law which allowed persons to search
houses for deer.
Mr. SCARLETT could note admire all the alterations made
in the law by the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but considered him
entitled to the thanks of the House and the public for many ex-
cellent efforts to improve defects in the law, which had long
existed.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said he had done all he could to avoid
the severity of punishment, by the introduction of secondary
punishment.
The Amendments having been introduced, the House resumed.
—The Report was received, and ordered to be considered this
day se'nnight.
The Insolvent Debtors' Act was read the third time and passed.
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House
adjourned at One o'Clock.

LARCENY LAWS BILL

Mr. Secretary PEEL rose on the order for further consi-
deration of the Report of the Larceny Laws Bill, and stated
that the measure, amended as it had been, was still in want
of further improvement. The Right Honourable Gentle-
man therefore proposed to recommit the Bill, and introduce
those amendments which he considered necessary. His alterations
would apply to that class of crime which produced the destruction
of property. Desirous of making the Bill as perfect as possible,
it was not his intention to bring it into a law without due consi-
deration. Ile should therefore let the Bill stand over the recess
with a view of calling upon the House to pass it next Aesion.
The Bill was then re-coinmitted.
Mr. Secretary PEEL adverted to the crime of sacrilege, to
which a capital punishment in all cases is attached. He wished
to make the crime liable to capital punishment only in the case
of breaking and entering a church and stealing therein. With
respect to stealing in the dwelling house, it was a capital
felony to steel to the amount of forty shillings, and his intention
was, to increase the forty shillings to five pounds. The punish-
ment of transportation applied to stealing fish in a pond, and the
Right Hon. Gentleman proposed to except the Angler from
that severity of the law. Several years transportation for fishing
with a rod in a Fish Pond was severe, he therefore proposed
that any person who caught fish by angling in a pond or stream,
which was private property, should be compelled to give his
name, and be subject to a penalty of 20/. if he gave a false name.
The punishment for angling without permission was to be
payment of three times the value of the fish taken away. The
Right Hon. Gentleman also proposed a judicious alteration of
the law as it stands with respect to deer stealidg. When that

THE KING.

WINDSOR, JAN. 3171..--.lt being announced early in the day,
that both a Council and a Chapter of the Knights of the Gar-
ter would be held this afternoon at Windsor Castle, to which
the KING, as Sovereign of the Order, would come in State,
public expectation was greatly excited. As the time for the
arrival of his Majesty approached, the streets of the town
through which it was expected the cavalcade would pass,
became lined ; while the Long Walk, notwithstanding the
dampness of the weather, was graced by the attendance of a
great number of Ladies. Shortly after two' o'clock, the King
left the Royal Lodge, in a carriage and four, attended by the
Master of the Horse and the Lord Steward.—A second car-
riage followed, in which were, Lord Graves, as Lord in
Waiting, Sir William Keppel, and Colonel Thornton.—
The Royal carriages were attended by a number of out.
riders in full state liveries, and escorted by a troop of the
Ist Life Guards. The cavalcade proceeded down the
Long Walk, and through Park-street and High-street, amid
the cheers of the populace and the ringing of bells, .to the
Castle, at the entrance of which a detachment of the Coldstream
Guards received the King with military honours. His Majesty
appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health, and most
condescendingly
.acknowledged the repeated greetings of the
spectators. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of I ork and
Clarence arrived at the Castle shortly before the King.

" Downing-street, Jan. 30, 1826."

This donation of the King has been misrepresented in the
list of Subscriptions as the subscription of his Majesty's Go.
vernment; and his 'Majesty has expressed his special. desire,
that it should be considered his own private donation. The
Lord Mayor has received an intimation to that effect, since the
publication of the mistake.

The Committee appointed on Saturday for the purpose of
receiving the subscriptions, met yesterday at the Weavers' Ball,
in Basinghull-street ; the Right Rev. the Lord Hishop .of
Chester, who has been throughout most active in favour of the
sufferers, took the Chair. The best mode of distributing the
relief was discussed, -when, with a view to confine it to the ob-
jects for whom it was specifically raised, a considerable num-
ber of Manufacturers residing in all parts of the district, were
added to the Committee. A printed form specifying the age,
number in family, &c. was agreed upon, which form is required
to be attested by the signature of the aster in whose employ-
ment the aplicant may have been for the last twelve months ;
these printed, forma are forthwith to be delivered to the Master
Manufacturers at the Vestry Room, in Spitalfields. Unless
such document s 3 signed is produced by each applicant, relief
cannot be granted.

[New TIMES.I

There was no business before the House of
Lords lest night. In the House of Commons,
on presenting a petition against the Corn Laws,
a conversation of considerable length took place,
in which Mr. Hume, Mr. Calcraft, Sir T. Leth-
bridge, and Lord Milton, took a part. Lord
John Russell moved for leave to bring itt
13111 for the better prevention of bribery and
corruption in the election of Members of Parlia-
ment. The plan of the Right #ionourable Mere.
ber, is, to admit of complaints to the House at eny
time, within six years after the alleged acts of.
corruption. On complaint being made, a Corn.
mittee, formed as Committees are under the
Grenville Act, and consisting of fifteen Mem-
bers, including the Member complaining, it is
proposed shall consider the complaint, and
report, and on their Report a Bill may be
ordered by the House. Leave was given.—Mr.
' Denman then rose to bring forward the Mo..
lion of which he had given notice, respect-
ing the trials and execution of certain no.
groes in the Island of Jamaica, in the end of
1823, and beginning of 1824. The Hon. Mem.
ber spoke at great length on what he conceived
to be the illegality and injustice of these con.
demnations, and concluded by moving a Resolu-
tion of censure on the tribunals which had passed
them. Mr. Wilmot Dorton, in ft long and able
speech, pointed out the difference of feelings,bbit s
and modes of thinking between the inhabitants
of a slave colony and those of u free country,
and of the necessity of persons in England plac.
ing themselves in the mine position relatively to
the slaves as their Masters wore if they wished
to form an accurate or impartial judgment of their
conduct. The Hon. Member contended that the
best method of improving the condition of
the negroes was not to censure the tribunals,
but to correct the laws of which they were
the administrators. lie concluded by mov-
ing an amendment to that purport, thatfrom the proceedings under consideration, the
House derived additional conviction of the pro-
priety of the resolution of 1823; but that, !tow-
ever desirable it might be to amend the law, there
did not appear to the House any just ground for
impeaching the sentences passed by tribunals act-
ing under it. After a few words from Mr.
Vowel! Buxton, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Can-
Mug, the Amendment woo-carried, on a division,
by a majority of 40, ,tyre limbers being 103,
anti 153.

LADIES AND OENTLESLEN,
THE Retirement of your highly esteemed
Director, William Taylor Money, Esq. having ocea-
timed a Vacancy in the Direction of your Affairs, I have again
the honour of presenting myself to your notice in conformity
with jay Address to you in March 11124.
The long-standing engagements of many of my friends, who
have so decidedly assured me of their powerful support, pre-
clude me from soliciting your suffrages on the present occa-
sion ; but I take this opportunity of requesting the favour of
your Votes and Interest on the expected opening at the Gene-
ral Election on the 1201 of April next, when it is my deter•
tnination to proceed to the Ballot.
My political services In the Western part of India during an
eventful period of nearly twenty years, afforded me the means
of acquiring a knowledge of that important branch of your Go-
'vernment, and my professional experience as an Officer in the
Honourable Company's Army, may, I trust, be 'deemed an
additional pretension to the honour your patronage.
I have the honour to be,
With the greatest respect, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient, humble tierVant,

broke the Cita and saucers, and that's all about K.
Yes, your Worship, exclaimed Maria, that's the whole of the
business, and as to what f said to my dear Henry about noughly
women, which I only did to vex him, I don't believe a word of
it, for I dont think there is a more properer, betterer, or de-.
eenterer sort of man than my Harry is ; and I hope your Wotebip,
will let me pay her for her paltry crockery, and let me and se y-
Harry go to some other lodgings and be comfortable.
The worthy Magistrate expressed himself quite agreeable to. this
mode of settlement, and reprimanded the complainant for her un-
necessary haste, as it was evident the persons complained against
would have willingly compensated her for her loss without being
dragged before him ; he should therefore make her pay all the
expences.
The parties then left the Office to settle the amount of damages

married couples should walk.

the least degree of risk. The margins of the Douro, and
country round, are exclusively devoted to the growth of an
article almost wholly consumed in England ; and although
some local jealousies may exist against the British Com-
mercial Houses, established in Oporto, the chief body of
the glowers must be aware that their interests are inti-
mately blended with ours; and, consequently, it is to be
hoped, they will act prudently on the present trying occa-
sion. From the premises we have thus established, the
conclusions we feel disposed to draw are, that, unless the
defection is great and general, the Marquess de Chaves
and his band of Apostoheals cannot take Oporto by main
force.—Morning Chronicle.'

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,--Mr. Shackel, the printer of the John 8011, has shame..
fully abused my confidence by inserting in the John Bull of this
day, a speech delivered by the Right lion. George Canning at
Lisbon, in 1816, which speech was confidentially intrusted to him,
to be introduced into a collection of Mr. Canning's speeches, at
present in progress of publication.

lam anxious to assure you, that if it was the intention either
of myself, or of the gentleman who is engaged in the collection
of Mr. Canning's speeches, that the speech should appear in the
newspapers, we should have preferred that it found its way to
the world originally through your respectable paper, rather than
through a publication of the character and principles of the
John BUIL

I will not say than the fraud that has been practised is inconsis-
tent with the habit and manner of conducting the John Bull
newspaper ; but I must say, that the mode in which the speech
found its way into it, is at variance with all the notions I have
ever entertained of honesty and fair dealing. I remain, Sir, your
most obedient and very humble servant,
169, Piccadilly, Dec. 24. JAMES RIDGWAY.
