BAIL COURT, June 8.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN).
IN THE MATTER OF HARMS, MAYOR OF ABINGDON.
London, England, 1844-06-10

COUNT OSTROWSKI.

Captain BERNAL wished to put a question to the
Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the
Home Department. The liberty of the subject had
been violated a few days since in the person of a
Polish officer, who had not only been sent to
prison, but the whole of his papers had been taken by
the police. He wished to know whether that had been
done by warrant, and whether the light Hon. Baronet
was at all aware of it ?

Sir J, GRAHAM said, his attention had only been
called to the subject by what he had read in the papers.
In consequence of what he had seen, he made inquiries
that morning on the subject of the Police Commissioners,
and he understood from them, that from private infor-
mation they had received the police captured the
party, and the Commissioners thought the police were
justified in apprehending the party. The charges that
were made were proved before the magistrate, the party
was held to bail, and if he was not satisfied at the course
pursued, he had his remedy elsewhere.
Mr. BLEWITT said, in his opinion there had been
no justification whatever for seizing the papers of the
individual alluded to, and more especially in the manner
which in this instance had been adopted.
London, England, 1844-06-10

SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. M. GIBSON wished to take that opportunity of
making one or two remarks on the subject of the sugar
duties. He was one of those unfortunate persons—(A
laugh)—who, in consequence of the manner in which
the subject had been placed before the House by
the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), who proposed an
equal duty of 345. per cwt. on all foreign sugar, were
compelled to vote for that motion, without having an op-
portunity of guing into the question whether our West
Indian Colonies were at all entitled to the protection of
distinctive duties.—(Hear, hear.) He begged now to
ask whether that vote would prevent his Hon. Friend or
himAelf from voting against those distinctive duties ?
Mr. GLADSTONE was not prepared to advise the
Hon. Gentleman as to the course which he ought to
pursue.—(A laugh).
➢lr. GIBSON then gave notice that he would
move an amendment for the abolition of the distinc-
tive duties upon the reading of the preamble of the Bill.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS AND DISSENTERS'
CHAPELS BILLS.

Mr. C. BULLER wished to know from the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, when he
intended to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill,
and whether there was any probability of its being
further proceeded with during the present session.—
(Hear, hear.) He also wanted to know when the Dis-
senters' Chapels Bill would be proceeded with.
Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had no great
temptation to name an early day for the further consi-
deration of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, as they had
not yet got through the first clause.

Mr. C. BULLlnl—Cannot it come on on Friday ?
Sir B. PEEL said that it was impossible it could come
on on that day. As to the Dissenters' Chapels Bill,
the Government were anxious to proceed with it as soon
as possible.

Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort
and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70
years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs.

first time illuminated. The light of the edifice is of a
red colour towards the sea, and of a white colour within
the line of the Breakwater. The building is 63 feet
above high water mark, and has been erected at an ex-
pense of 12,0001. It is formed of granite from the Parr
Quarries near to Fowey, and contains five rooms---a

LONDON, MONDAY, 4L-Nlf: 10, 1844.

The resolution of the Ayr Town Council, and the
"reasons" that operated with them in affirming that
resolution, we have transferred, in another column
from the published copy, extracted from the records
of the Council of that burgh. The " reasons " are
valuable as a succinct summary of the mischievous
principles of Sir Ronane PE 2OS measure for "ex-
tending or limiting the issue of Bank notes, in obe-
dience to the action of the foreign exchanges." The second
reason proves the ultimate tendency of the measure to
call gold, as the instrument of exchanges, into much
greater use than heretofore; to thereby enhance the
value of money, and aggravate the burden of all
debts and engagements; and, by this conjoint effect,
to renew that fatal panic which, on three memorable
occasions, since the passing of the Act of 1819,
" have spread ruin and bankruptcy over, the land."
The third shows that the gradual appropriation
of the profits on the issue of Bank notes, obviously
contemplated by the Government, will prove an in-
strument of taxation, the effect of which must fall ul-
timately
upon the public, not upon bankers. The
fourth reason cautions the people of Scotland against
being lulled into a fond belief, by the Minister's
present abstinence from any pledge with regard to
that country, that he will not, at the earliest conve-
nient opportunity—if supported by the sanction of
• Parliament—apply the same legislative process as the
now pending measure comprises, in respect of Eng-
land, for suppressing or curtailing the currency of
Scotland. The fifth reason is an admirable exposure
of that almost unaccountable and certainly most un-
founded analogy which Sir Romar PEEL,
in defiance of fact and all fair inference,
endeavoured to deduce in his speech of the 6th of May
_ain't, "that competition in the business of banking must
,-~ lead to excessive issues"--from the experience of what
• had occurred in the United States of America. " We,

HUSH RLGISTRATION.

Mr. VERNON SMITH said, that in consequence of
the answer of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department to his Hon.
Friend the Member for Finsbury, he thought it would
be well to know at what time it was the intention to
commence public business.
After a few words from Sir J. GRAHAM,

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he thought the question
propounded to the House by his Right Hon. Friend near
him, was one of great importance. He (Mr. 'l'. Dun-
combo) had asked a question of the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary of State fur the Home Department, ten
minutes before five o'clock, when he was referred to the
Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government.—
(Sir R. Peel here entered the House.) He was glad to
see the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) in his place.—
(Laughter.) He had been asking the Secretary
of State for the Home Department to fulfil a promise
which was given last week, to state to the House the in-
tention of the Government with respect to the Irish
Registration Bill. The Right Hon. Baronet had in-
formed him that his Right Hon. Friend would shortly
arrive.—(Laughter.) In the meantime the Chancellor
of the Exchequer rose and moved the consideration of
the sugar duties.—(Laughter.) The Right Hon. Baronet
(Sir R. Peel) had undertaken the other day to give
sufficient notice of the intention of the Government to
bring on the Bill. Now he thought they had really a
right to ask whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to proceed with the Bill during the present
session, and if so, on what day?
Sir R. PEEL said that when he stated lie would give
sufficient notice, he did not mean notice to persons in all
parts of the three kingdoms.—(Hear.) Her Majesty's
Government certainly wished to take the sense of the
House on the second reading of the Irish Registration
Bill. He was not prepared to state at present on what
day the Bill would actually be brought forward, but he
would do so to-morrow, and he would take care that
proper notice should be given.
London, England, 1844-06-10

The defendant, in reply, said he had been deceived
with respect to the circumstances of his lodger. She
had nothing but a couple of chairs in her room, and
some hay in a mattress to lay upon, and as she had run
a week in arrear ho determined to trust her no longer.
He was further desirous to get rid of her, because, as
she came home at a very late hour, he believed her cha-
rac' er to be disreputable.
The complainant admitted she was very poor, although
at one time she was in very respectable circumstances.
She worked hard, however, to maintain h.rzelf and to
pay her rent, and this would account for the late hours
she kept.
The employer of the complainant came forward, and
said the complainant worked fur her from seven in the
morning until twelve at night. _ _

Mr. ittapwicKE said the assault appeared to be most
unjustifiable, and the defendant's conduct throughout
was without excuse. The complainant, although she
occupied a humble lodging, was as much entitled to have
her rights respected as if she paid as many pounds for
her accommodation as she did shillings. It turned out
that she was only a few days in arrear, and that she was
actually at work to pay her rent when she was thrust
into the streets. Ile should in this case inflict the full
fine of 5/. and costs.
CLERKE.NIVELL.

AN ACTRESS IN TROUBLE.—A dissipated-looking
woman, attired in widow's weeds, who gave her name
Prynn, but who was recognised as having formerly been
an actress of some note in the metropolitan theatres as
Miss Healey, was charged with being drunk. The pri-
sonar's looks denoted aberration of intellect. It appeared
that, on the preceding evening, she knocked at the sta-
tion-house door, in Bagniggo Wells-road, and demanded
to be locked up. She was drunk at the time, and refus-
ing to leave the place, her wish was gratified.
The prisoner, who was exceedingly dejected, in a
theatrical tone and manner denied the charge of
drunkenness, and said her fair fame" had been attainted.
She had been turned out of her lodging for arrears of
rent, and having nothing but the " canopy of heaven" to
shelter her, she sought refuge at the station-house and
begged of them to lock her up for the night. This was
the " head and front of her offending.'
Mr. GREENWOOD ordered her landlady to be sent for,
when her story being found to be " most true," she was
discharged by Mr. Greenwood, who expressed his belief
that her tenses were scattered, and told her that if she
was brought there again the probability was that the
overseers of the parish would be consulted upon the ne-
cessity of sending her to a lunatic asylum.

no legal objection to having the proceedings removed by cer-
tiorari, as well as to have the prisoner removed by habeas

UNION-HALL.

Elizabeth Davis and Mary Croker, two women of the town,
were charged before Mr. Cottingham; with stealing a valuable
Chinese shawl and a piece of silk, the property of the steward
of the Marquis of Bute, East Indiaman.
It appeared the complainant had come ashore with the
above articles, with the intention of forwarding them to Bel-
fast. In passing along the borough, however, he was accosted
by the two prisoners, whom he accompanied to several public
houses, and ultimately was induced to go home with them.
He remained in the house for about two hours, being at the
time intoxicated; and when lie came to his senses, he missed
the articles above mentioned, and, having called a policeman,
gave them into custody.
The complainant manifested a strong disinclination to pro-
ceed with the case, saying that he would rather be at the
loss of the property than be compelled to appear against the
prisoners, particularly as the ship he belonged to was out-
ward bound, and he would lose his situation if compelled to
attend the sessions.

Mr. COTTINGHAM said he regretted the complainant could
not remain at home to prosecute the prisoners, who were well
known as women of the most abandoned and profligate cha-
racter. Under these circumstances he (the Magistrate),
however unwillingly, must discharge them.

John AbruhanzT a 7 man advanced in years, was charged with
committing an indecent assault on Charlotte Ann Butler, a
child under nine years of age.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said it was trumped
up by his wife and the child.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that the offence was one of a most
aggravated description, and that he should commit the pri-
soner for trial.
London, England, 1844-06-10

SPAIN.

Mr. P. BORTHWICK gave notice, that on the
first day he could fix, he would move for re-
turns of all copies of correspondence which might
have passed between Don Carlos and her Ma-
jesty's Government in this country, and between her
Majesty's Government and the Government of France,
and also between her Majesty's Government and the
GoVernment of Spain, on the subject of the original pro-
positions said to have been made by her Majesty's Go-
vernment to Don Carlos, having for their object the
pacification of Spain, and involving on the part of that
illu,trious Prince all the sacrifices he could make to
attain so desirable an object.
London, England, 1844-06-17

to the other matter alluded to by the Noble Lord, to
say the least of it the person alluded to had acted in
a most indiscreet manner, and if there had been any
thing improper in his arrest he had his remedy. It
was a subject for the consideration of a court of law,
and not for that House.

Lord CAMPBELL thought the question of open-
ing letters under a warrant from the Secretary of
State was a question requiring the earnest considera-
tion of their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) He con-
tended that the words of the Act of Parliament, which
gave the Secretary of State this power, provided that
for every letter opened there should be a separate
warrant isued by the Secretary of State under his
hand and seal.

After some further discussion, the motion was
negatived without a division.
Some other business was transacted, and their
Lordships adjourned.

LONDON, NIONDAI
~UN - 17, 1844.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday for the
dixeussion of important State affairs. This is the
general report, and the report also states that the Ca-
binet was summoned to take into consideration the
" untoward" division in the Commons on tie Sugar
Duties Bill. Shortly after the breaking up of the Cabi-
net, Sir Roneam PEEL proceeded to the Palace, and
TN have heard walked all alone in a very pensive
mood, looking neither right nor left, evidently ab-
sorbed in some matter of no ordinary . importance.
The same report states that he tendered his resigna-
tion to her MAJESTY. This is possible ; and, what is
more, it is a consummation that every friend of liberty
would wish to see realised. Sir R. PEEL is too liberal
for his colle-agnes And the motley crew that installed
him Prime Minister. With the exception, perhaps,
of` Mr. GLADSTONE, he has no free trader in the
Cabinet—he.has no friend of Ireland—he has no man
of sterling Liberal politics—and he has been obliged
to fight the battle alone to carry out the principles of
the Reform Bill, and • to adopt the practice of the
Executive to a system which the old Tories detest,
and which the new race, called Conservatives, regard
with almost equal horror. Let him resign. What
can they do' without him ? What man can the
Tories put at their head ? BUCKINGHAM, or Ilicx-
MOND, or STANLEY ! These are the only names that
even the ultra-Tories can suggest; and-with all the
power of the Church to support STANLEY, and all the
monopolists hacking the two Dukes, the New Har-
mony. would be -brought to-a, close in one month.

DIABOLICAL ACT OF INCENDIARISM, DEVONPORT,
JUNE 13.—The county of Cornwall, which had hitherto
escaped the torch of the incendiary, we have reason to be-.
lieve suffered from such a diabolical cause this day. About
one o'clock this morning a fire was discovered on the farm
of Mr. John Luscombe, of Sherwick Barton, about six miles
from Torpoint, opposite this place, which raged with such
inconceivable fury, in consequence of the dryness of the
weather and the combustibility of the materials, that in a
very short time, all the valuable ricks of corn, hay, straw,
together with the whole of the outhouses, barns, &c., were
totally consumed. Fortunately; the farm-house escaped.
This calamity to Mr. Luscombe has excited'universal com,
miseration in Devonport and its vicinity, as he was held, to be
an excellent master, and justly esteemed in his neighbour,
hood. The Barton is about 170 acres, close to the Liikeard-
road. _ • _ •

NEW ZEALAND.

Mr.. AG LIONBY said, that on Friday evening last,
when the estimates were before the Committee, a consi-
derable part of the discussion arose on the subject of
New Zealand, the state of the colony, and the manage-
ment of the Company's affairs. He then implored the
Government to grant an inquiry, and the Noble Lord
zt the head of the Colonial Department acknowledged
that the matter was a very important one, and, as he be-
liel el that the Noble Lo-rd would not object to the ap-
pointment of a Select Committee, he now begged to
move that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire
into the state of the Colony of New Zealand, and the
proceedings of the Company, the said Committee to re
port its proceedings to the House.
Mr. LABOUCHERE thought that the consent of the
Colonial Secretary was not alone necessary. The House
ought also to decide whether the subject was of impor-
tance enough for a Select Committee, and was entitled
to have some notice of the motion.

Mr. AGLIONBY said the blame of not having given
notice was entirely his own ; he would comply with the
suggestion of the Hon. Member, and give notice of his
motion for Friday next.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Sir R. PEEL moved that the House at its rising do
adjourn till Friday next.—Agreed to.

Bill, he would move that the House resolve itself into the

Mr. HUME said that two nights ago, in the dis-

would answer all the purpose, and he therefore begged

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AN D
Cptriton.

" Who runs may read."

FOIZZIGN.
On Monday the King of the French left Versailles for
Dreux, an ancient town about fifty miles south-west of Paris,
and iras to return on Wednesday.
Preparations are already making for the removal of the
Royal family to Neifilly in the beginning of May.
We read in the Annoricain of Brest, of the 18th :—"Cap-
fain Dutadlis," of the Ariane, which is destined for Otaheite.
has just been summoned again to Paris by telegraphic dis-
patch. We are lost in conjectures at this proceeding, at the
moment when he was only waiting to get under weigh for
the arrival of Admiral Hamelin, who was to go out in the
Arians. Everything leads to a belief that there is to be impo7-
tant modifications in the instructions which this ship is to
carry to the Pacific. The Heroine corvette, which is fitting
out-with the greatest activity, is also destined for Otaheite
and the Marquesas."
We learn from Belgrade, April 6, that sixty of the persona
'in prison in Servia, for political offences, the total number of
whom is said to be nearly 700, have been condemned to death.
Amongst them are the ex-Minister Rajewitsch, and several
SenatorS.

The Courrier Francais states that the number of- convicts
condemned to the gullies during a period of sixteen years,
from 1822 to 1837, amounted to 14,082; amongst whom
"9,117, were received at Toulon, 3,193 at Brest, and 1,772 at
Rochfort. _ _ _

The King of Prussia, says a letter of the 12th instant, from
-Berlin, has granted permission to Dr. Lindner, one of the pro-
fesSors extraordinary of the university of that capital, to give
a course of lectures on the advantages of oral testimony in
open court, and the trial by jury. This measure, adds the
writer, has raised a hopethat our Government will at last de-
cide upon granting to the nation these two great guarantees
fur an equitable administration of justice.
From Frankfort we learn that the Easter fair had been
brisker than for many years previous for all manufactures,
but especially cotton, which was dearer.
A letter from Coleah, in Algeria, by the last mail, states
that in spite of the prejudices of the Arabs, Dr. Smith has
succeeded in inducing them to allow the introduction of vac-
cination. At Coleah, and its environs, 227 children have al-
ready been vaccinated.
The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Rome, April
9 :—" The special tribunal of Bologna has just delivered its
judgment against some of the recent promoters of disturbance
of the second class. Some have been sentenced to perpetual

imprisonment, and others to various periods of confinement
of from sto 25 years." The same journal states from St. Pe-
tersburgh that the Circassiaus are making great preparations
to resist the forces of Russia, and that the troops of the for-
mer amount to 90,000 men, commanded by French and Po-
lish officers.
