POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—lnonediately after the
office was opened Yesterday 'Earl Ferrers entered, and,
stated he had not altered his determinatron 'respecting the
three boys, Millet, Price, and Whittle, who stood re-
manded fur stealing his.snuff-box. • •
Ror--You had better alter .your opinion. Earl
Ferrers.--Go on, if you'like; I am determined 'not to
prosecute, and no power shall make me.
Mr. RoL—Have you procured Lord Tenterden's opi-
nion ? Earl Ferrers—No ; he has gone the Circuit ;
but 1 have seen Mr. Phillips, and he is of the same opi-
nion as I am.
Mr. -ROE—He is wrong on this point. Earl Ferrers—
I will let my servant be bound to over to prosecute, for he
can swear to my box.
Mr. ROE—If the box had been stolen from your Lord-
ship's house, or from your pocket in the house, and your
servant could swear he had placed it in your pocket, then
he would have been a good witness, but not otherwise.
Earl Ferrers—l -know' nothing at all about the box ; be-
sides Mr. Phillips tells me I need not prosecute. -
Mr: will tell you what I will do, my Lord.
You shall put down Mr. Phillips's fee, and I will also do
the same, and he shall beient for, and if be gives an opi-
nion that the law is on your ,side, then I will PaY him.
Earl Ferrets—You can settle the business at once, by
sending them tbr three months to prison.
311.. ROE—I would not do that for my own father as
the laW now stands. Earl Ferrers—Pooh, pooh ! you can
do it.
Mr. ROE—I have made you a very fair proposition.
Send for Mr. Phillips, or any other gentleman at the Bur,
and if I am wrong in my law I will pay him his fee if it
be twenty guineas. Earl Ferrero—Then bind my servant
over.
Mr. ROE—Your servant cannot prove where your.box
was when you were in Berkeley-square. Earl Ferrers—
Well I am determined not to prosecute, so you may do as

you like, and I will take the consequences.
A little before one o'clock Lord MONTFORT, Sir G. FA R-•
RANT, Mr. DYER, jun. and another Magistrate, entered the
office, to hear the conclusion of the business.
About five minutes before three o'clock Earl Ferrets-
again entered the office, when Sir G. FARE.ANT waited on
him in* the private parlour, and, after considerable diffi-
culty, persuaded the Noble Earl to alter his determination ;
and, on-bis assenting, the three prisoners were brought in,
when Morley and Lacy entered the room, Earl Ferrers, ob-
served, that neither of them had seen the boys take his
snuff-box away. Lacy---I did, any Lord.
Earl Ferrers—No, you did not; it was a woman.
Mr. ROE-Do you suppose;: my Lord, that I would
put yOu to trouble, if the case could be completed with-
out your evidence..
Mr. Fitzpatrick Was' then desired to read the evidence,
and had proceeded as far as where his Lordship had said,
" between four -and five o'clock "
Earl Ferrers—l do not swear to the hour, nor about
the hour; 1 do not know what time it was; I won't think
about it, so you may do as you please on that point.
Mr. Fitzpatrick—My Lord, you made the statement.—
Earl .Ferrers—l know nothing about the hour; I am
not going to do any thing, nor say any thing I don't know.

Mr. ROE-What time of the day does your Lordship
say it was?—Earl Ferrers—l know nothing about the

'time.
Mr. ROE—Had you been to the House of Peer?--
Earl Ferrers—l know nothing about where I kid been to;
it might be between two and four o'clock.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was then desired to alter his Lordship's
deposition as to the hour ; which was accordingly done.
He then read en—" The snuff-box is worth about Is."--
Earl Ferrers—l do not say it is worth a shilling; I do
not think it is worth sixpence, nor fourpence ; I only gave
half-a-crown for it when it was new. _

Mr. Rot:—lt is very pleasant is) take down what is said
correctly, my Lord ; hut'it shall be altered to fourpcnce ;
which was accordingly done.
Lacy and Vorley's evidence was then read, which ap-
peared in our paper of Tuesday.
Mr. Fitzpatrick was then desired to bind his Lordship
over to prosecute, when the Noble Earl said be most pro-
bably should have the gout when the Sessions carne on.
Mr. Rot:,-It will only take you a day to corns up from
Leicestershire. Earl Ferrcrs—But I have the gout every
other day.
Mr. IloE—lf that should be the case, write me a letter
inclosing your physician's certificate, and I . will take care
that it is laid before the proper qtrarter.
Plank here informed Mr. Roe that no Court would
look at a letter or Certificate, unless accompanied by an
affidavit.
Earl Ferrers—Don't talk nonsense ; will not my own
signing it be sufficient ?
It was then finally agreed that if his Lordship should be
attacked by the gout, that one of his servants should see
the certificate signed, and bring it up to town. His Lord-
ship was then bound ;over, and after some hesitation said
he was content.

ATTAINTED PEERAGES OF SCOTLAND.

The restoration of the attainted Scotch families has
formed the subject of conversation among the Grim-
Aces of the north, ever since the coronatio❑ of his
present
.Majesty, in 1821, when an attempt was
made to bring the matter under the consideration of
his Majesty's Government. Although the repeated
rebellions of 1715 and 1745 were directed against
the Royal Hanoverian line, the illustrious members
of it have shewn great magnanimity in first restoring
the better part of the forfeited estates to the Scotch
delinquents, and afterwards removing the attainders
of several of the titles..

Considerable art. is requisite to confer a favour to
the greatest advantage, and the delicacy used by
Lord Liverpool to his Sovereign, and to the peti-
tiotiing 'parties when he first publicly proposed the
restoration a portion of those Peerages, certainly
enhanced the value of the favour. On Monday,
May the 21th, 1824, "his Lordship rose, he said,
in obedience to his Majesty's commands, to lay before
their Lordships certain Bills for the restoration of
some titles which had been forfeited in consequence
of political offences. These were purely acts of
Royal grace and favour, which were intended to be
followed by an act of justice. He alluded to the
reversal of the attainder of Lord Stafford." These
Bills met with no opposition, and the restorations
gave great satisfaction at the time. In the Lower
House, Mr. Bruce, of Kennet, observed, that the re-
storation ought not to be partial; and many agree
with Mr. Bruce, in thinking that the amnesty ought
to have been made general, since it is clear that all
the noble rebels were equally guilty by their joint poli-
tical offences—and as they equally shared the disgrace
of punishment in the forfeitures that ensued, they evi-
dently were all equally deserving of his Majesty's cle-
mency when the day of forgiveness dawned on thegene-
rous efforts made in their favour. There are not a feW
respectable individuals who are interested in the
im-
portant question ; and from the confidence we possess
of some of those who know the sentiments of certain
high personages on the subject, we could set the
minds of the expectants at rest, if we were at liberty
to do so. At present we will simply content our-
selves with bringing to view the number of peerages
already restored, and those who are • still suffering
under the attainders. But before we .do so, '
we cannot help regretting the loss of • Lord
Belhaven's Bill this Session, to enable the sons of
Scotch Peers to sit as Members in the House of
commons—a privilege which the sons of English
Peers enjoy,' because this question developes the
whole peerage system, and naturally extorts the query,
whether the restoration of Scotch Peers is of
any advantage to the nation. All Peers' sons are
Esquires—and Esquires are Cotnmoners--and Com- I
movers are the proper persons for sitting in the
House of Commons. How absurd, therefore, is it
to shut the door of the House of Commons on a re-
spectable class of Commoners, who, by their wealth.
eittcation, &c., are peculiarly adapted for legislation ;
yet so it is, that under the present system a scotch
Peer's son, however talented and disposed for busi-
ness,cannot be an M.P. He must, forsooth, be laid
ha
iso tnhoebr (Nveprladp.a thinks proper to
transfertlie lsfeltfi ltlo.
Nor do we approve of the system of electing 16
Peers as the only privileged senators in the Upper
House for Scotland, to the exclusion of all the others,
who cannot so much as frank a single letter ; though
we admit that the fault rests with the proud Scotch
themselves, who, at the Union, agreed to reduce the
'number of -Peers from 160 to 16, and the Com-
: moners from 157 to 45—there being, as we can skew,
I in the Scotch Parliament, before the Union, exactly

- ,
160 Peers and 157 Commoners, who all met and sat
in Parliament in one grand room, still in ~,xistence in
Edinburgh. There ought to he no invidious distinction

among the Noble Senators. tither all ought to be here-
ditaiy Senators, representing themselves, or a few
only of each kingdoth ought to be chosen to repre-
sent the titled aristocracy. Complicated machinery
requires much attention and repairing, and in the
long run is much more troublesome and expensive
than simple machinery—and this remark is applica-
ble to governments. As Senators, all the Pe,2rs
ought to enjoy equal pris-ileges,
.and none ought to
be excluded from making use of his talents for the
good of the nation, the place purposely set apart by
the Constitution for the Assembly of the Peers.
The following is a list of the attainted and restor-
ed Peerages, and at sonic future time %ve7shall give
'an accurate list of the representatives of the lion-re-
stored titles:—

DREADFUL INUNDATIONS.

APPREHENDED DESTRUCTION OF THE CROPS.

With feelings of sincere regret, not unmixed with
the deepest apprehensions for the future, we have
to announce that the late change in the state of the
atmosphere has been productive of the most calamit-
ous consequences to agriculture in this vicinity. Af-
ter enjoying several weeks' continuance of the most
seasonable weather, during which the crops of every
description seemed to promise the most abundant
return, and the hay harvest in particular was calcu-
lated upon as unprecedented in quality and quantity,
tbe hopes of the farmer have suddenly been dash-
ed from him, and his high-raised expectations have
almost given place to despair. What the result
will eventually be, we leave to the contemplation of
those who are more skilled in such matters, and for
the present shall only proceed to detail the effects of
this lamentable visitation, as far as we have been
able to obtain information -in the short period that
has elapsed since the ravages of the watery element
commenced. A considerable quantity of rain fell on
Wednesday last, by which the labours of the mower and
haymaker were retarded, and gloomy presages raised
that have been too fully borne out by succeeding
events. At about eleveno'clock, on Friday night
last, the rain commenced descending in torrents,
and continued, with scarcely five minutes' relaxation
from its intensity, during the whole of the following
day and night, and though its violence was abated
on Saturday night, fell without intermission until
one p. m. on Sunday. To those who know the local
situation of this part of Yorkshire, the consequences
may be easily conceived. The drains are swollen
and the lands flooded in every direction. The public
roads, in some districts, have in places been render-
ed wholly impassable. The corn crops are .beaten
down, in many parts, so flat, as to be described by
the country people to wear an appearance such as
would have been produced had a heavy roller been
drawn over them. The hay, in many fields, is float-
ing about and carried away by the floods, the cocks
having been laid completely under water. We have
it from numerous eye-witnesses, that there is not the
least exaggeration in this picture, the facts being
simply as we have stated them. The effects of the
deluge have been felt severely in the town. In
many of the lower streets, the cellars have been
inundated, and the people obliged to resort to pump-
ing to free their premises from the overflow. This
has been the case particularly in 'English-street,
Pottery, and in Wincolmlee and the Groves, where
the lower parts of the houses have been greatly in-
' convenienced by the accumulation of water. This
however, is a trifling evil compared to the dreadful
state of the country. Between Preston and Hull, it
is calculated that at least one hundred acres are
under water. The turnpike road, at .every quarter
or half mile is completely covered, in some places
to the depth of three feet. At Hornsea, we are in-
formed so much rain was never known within the
memory of man to have fallen in so short a period.
The Mere has so overflowed as to extend itself into
the houses adjacent, and many fields in the neigh-
bourhood are inundated to such an extent, that it is
indeed difficult to discern the tops of the hay cocks
and the ears of the corn, and, generally speaking, the
latter is entirely laid. The roads are almost impassable
to carriages and wholly so to pedestrians, and in
many parts the waters are from three to four feet
deep, and rush with such force through the bridges
and over the banks, as frequently to offer dangerous
impediments to the traveller. At North-end, be-
tween Ganstead and Leven, the country is completely
drowned; 'the farmers were on Sunday morning
getting sheep out of the water as they could, and
in some parts of the road it was " belly deep." The
drains in every direction around us were never so full
in the middle of winter. In the neighbourhood of
Sutton the inundations are extensive. The drain,
it is stated, has burst, but we have not ascertained
at what point. the accident is alleged to have taken
place. We fear the farmers at this day's market
will have very disastrous news to communicate. On
the Beverley road we bear the destruction to the
corn crops has far surpassed that of the hay, and
such a destruction of wheat in so few hours was
never known. We arc weary of dwelling upon so
melancholy a subject, but fear, in our next, we shall
have a long catalogue of ruin and calamity to com-
municate from other parts of'the country. We bear,
from the Lincoln guard who arrived here yesterday,
that the ravaged of this awful visitation are not con-
fined to this side the Humber. He 'informs us that,
from .Peterborough to Barton water side, the COMP-
try• universally wore the appearance we have de-
. scribed above. • Similar communications have been
received from Whitby and the neighbourhood of
Driffield.—Hull Packet.

SEPARATE CATHOLIC MEETING.

teinitted on Tucsday for want of room.)

(From the Dublin Morning Register of Friday.)

There was an adjourned meeting at the Corn
Exchange yesterday. At two o'clock the room was
crowded.
Sir FRANCIS MPONNELL in the Chair.

B. CORIIALLIS, Esq. acted as Secretary.
Mr.COPPINGER moved a vote of thanks to the
Freeholders of Clare, for the spirited milliner in
which they had returned Mr. O'Connell.
Mr. LAWLESS seconded the motion. He gave a
detail of the proceedings at Ennis, and described the
manner in which the supporters of Mr. Vesey Fitz-
gerald had been defeated by their forces. He men-
tioned how they had been brought up. in hundreds
to vote for thecourt candidate, and how they had
turned to the " right about" at the command of Mr.
James O'Gorman Mahon. (Hear, hear.) Not only
had the men of Clare voted in favour of Mr. O'Con-
nell, but they had been induced to do so by that sort
of influence which was irresistible. For instance, if
a husband was wavering, his wife immediately pro-
claimed to him, in terms by no means equivocal, that
he must never more expect to kiss her lips unless
he voted for Dan O'Connell. (Laughter.) In ad-
dition to this, the .maidens of Clare entered into a
solemn resolution never to marry a man who dared
to vote against the Liberator of his country.—( Cheers
and laughter.)
The motion was put, and carried by acclamation.
Mr. FINN was about to speak, when a tremendous
noise &dm abroad Borst on the meeting. All eyes
and ears were erect, when the arrival of the Hon.
Member for Clare was announced. It was impos-
sible to give even a faint idea of the shouts which
hailed his entrance. But the most enthusiastic
applauders were the immense groups of ladies in the
gallery. When silence was obtained,
Mr. O'CONNELL, M.P., rose, and said, that
although he had lost some of the powers of utterance
(Mr. O'Connell was very hoarse), yet he was amply
compensated by the increase of good spirits and
alacrity presented by the cheering prospect to his
view.—(Cheers.)—He would begin by telling them
one thing they had never heard before. They never
before heard a Roman Catholic Member of Parlia-
ment speak.—(Cheers.)—That was a novelty ; but
he had another to tell them, a novelty never heard of
in any country, namely, an election in which the re.-
semblance of contest and controversy had been en-
tirely laid aside,---Where there had not been a particle
of conflicting passion.—(Cheers.)—Not an obstacle
had been given to the adverse candidate or his
voters; neither had there been any broken heads, a
great contrast to the English elections. Although
the weather was such as to render the ,use of
spirituous liquors a necessity, yet not a man tasted
a drop during the entire election. There -were
no profane oaths; no blasphemies; so that' the
election resembled in sonic measure a reli-
gious ceremony. The Honourable
,Member then.
stated, that out of the four Protestant . forty:
shilling freeholders in Clare, three voted for.
him. The Protestant churchwarden of Scuff,
and the Reverend Mr. Stenson, a Protestant
curate, had also voted for him. (Cheers.) Mr.
O'Connell then proceeded to ridicule the Ministry,
whom he called the Sardanapalian minions of the
throne, and adverted especially to a certain " filthy
apothecary," who instilled his poiSrm into the Rgyal
ear, and who had advised the sending for the pious
and sainted Duke of Cumberland, to put him at the
head of the people of Ireland. He observed, that
if the Duke of Wellington was the great man his
flatterers pretended he was, lie ought to • pack up
in a box this meddling political apothecary, and send
him adrift down the Thames, not with a hole in
the bottom of the vessel, for that would be a cruel
way of disposing of him; but in 'such a way as
would effectually prevent his being able to distract
the councils and the country henceforth. (Cheers
and laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Gentle-
man then described his journey. He' mentioned
the mode adopted of introducing music into
Catholic chapels, stated with what 'rapture. he
had listened to the band, performing with the
precision of the band of •any martial regiment,
and described the character of the music to be not
of a sombre cast, hitt to partake of a military cha-
racter, and to be conveyed in the animating strains
of GarryoWen, and other popular, national; harmo-
nious themes. Mr.' O'Connell then proceeded to
notice a circumstance to which he particularly called
the attention of the Duke of Wellington and fit..
Peel. In his course from Ennis lie had, received
demonstrations of exultation from upwards of 300 of
his Majesty's soldiers ! In places where the eye. of
observance had not been upon them, the military
threw up their caps, and one man in particular, be-
longing to a light infantry company, cried, " May
God bless you at any rate." The Hon. Member
next alluded to the anxiety of the Irish people to
co-operate with their English brethren for the common
good, and said that he trusted time adoption of a
system of conciliation would. strengthen both
countries, and that the concession of unqualified
emancipation would unite and cement them in one
formidable bond of union, and enable them
.to pre-
sent an impenetrable front, even though they should
be opposed by the whole world.—(Cbeers.)---Mr.
O'Connell concluded his very able address by ex-
pressing a hope that Ireland would soon have—
" Happy homes and altars free—
" Not her talisman, the sword,
" But the spell-word—Liberty."—(Cheering.)
Mr. BOYLAN next addressed the Meeting at great
length, when.
Mr. BRIDGEMAN was called to the Chair, and, on
the motion of Mr. 07CONNELL, the Meeting ad-
journed to three o'clock this day.

(From the Dublin Freeman's Journal of Saturday.)
The Meeting, as adjourned from the (lay before,
took place yesterday, at the Association Rooms, at
three o'clock. Sir T. EsmoNuE, Bart., in the chair.
H. G. CURRAN, Esq., was requested to act as Se-
cretary. The Learned Gentleman read the minutes
of the preceding Meeting.
Mr. CoNwAY read a letter from the Rev. Mr.
Quin, Catholic Curate of Castlereagh, inclosing IC/.
towards the patriotic Clare fund.
Mr. O'CoNNELL, M.P., handed in 1311. 13s. 4d.
from Galway, towards the Clare fund.
Several sums of money were then handed in by
Mr. O'Connell and others.
Mr. FrrzsmoN handed in several sums.
Mr. O'DWYER read a letter, signed William
Morris, addressed to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P.,
inclosing 81. from Borisaleigb, and also a letter from
the York Catholic Defence Society, inclosing 10/.
A great many other sums were then paid in.
Mr. CAvANAGn said, that 70/. had been collected
in a few hours at Newry, and that on Saturday be
hoped to hand in a larger sum from that place.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. J@IIN REYNOLDS said, be had a resolution to
propose relative to the oaths which it was necessary
a person should take before he wa; aitow,d to sit in
Parliament. Liberal Protestants as well as Ca-
tholics detested the oath which said that the Catholic
religious was damnable and idolatrous. (Cheers.)
He would therefore move that copies of these abo-
minable eaths be printed and published in the usual
Dublin and London newspapers for six months.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL said, he bad intended to submit
the matter to a Committee, and to have them pub-
lished, not only in the London and Irish
also in the French, Italian, Spani,h, Portuguese, and
Russian papers. (Cheers.)
Other sums having been paid papers, but
Mr. O'CONNELL rose and sale!, that On the day
before he had said England should either crush or
conciliate them.—(Hear, hear.)--The crisis was
now come, and as they could not be so mad as to
attempt the former, he looked forward to the latter
course. He had undertaken the contest at Clare,
not for himself or his own benefit, for he lost more
by it—but for the cause of Ireland. The Duke of
Wellington became Minister in order to stop out the
Catholics; and they who said he intended to do any
thing for the Catholics, told What he believed, to be

he (Mr. O'Connell) was about to stand, he with-
drew
the original order; and desired that the tenants
should be allowed to vote as they pleased,—(Cheers) Y
this sheaved that he (Mr. O'Connell) spoke not
from personal feeling, and it gave: weight to his
words. He would their implore of his friends of
the press, to take down what he_ was about,to
say. His conviction was, that Villiers Stuart was
one of their ablest and h onestest friends in Par-
liament, and that no member in the House of
Commons was more zealously devoted to their
interests than he.—(Loud cheers.)—The Duke of
Wellington's • administration -,.was hostile to 'them.
They might give sweet 1 vords, but all they
wanted was to get themselves established, ira
order to give the Catholics harder blows. And the:
men who called themselves the friends of the Catho-

lies, and his supporters were worse than he. Vesey
Fitzgerald, who pledged and swore himself to be
their friend, and who upon all dilditions had atten-
ded and voted for them, was nicely turned out of
Clare for such conduct as this. He (Mr. O'Connell)
spoke as a professional man—as a country gentle-
man of middling fortune.', To be sure, be was now
a member of Patliament:—(Cheers.) As tl:le truly'
peter of Ireland's feelings, he would say shat no
member shall be returned for any open plate in Ire-
land who would not pledge himself to oppose the
Duke of Wellington's. Administration.—(Loup

—There might, .of course,'be a Father Coffey, who,
might betray his country; but even he was aban—

and only took off his hat, when they all turned over, and
said " Father Coffey, we will give you your Lay."'
(Cheers and laughter.)—,They should be 'practical..
The first county on their list was Galway. He
wpuldnot then say anything calculated to exasperate,
certain private feelings, but when the day of trial
came, all these should -be merged in the common
good. What they wanted was a Protestant gentle-
man of fortune, who would' pledge himself to op-
pose the administration of the Duke of Wellington
till emancipation was granted,—to support every
measure calculated to advance civil and- religiouo
liberty to all sects and denominations, and to advo-•
cite Parliamentary Reform.—(Cheers.)-.--Justice'

gentleman be found.
Mr. ComvN.—Yes.—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL—If so, an excellent and pa'

fortune in the country, Mr. Dillon Bellew, told hive
he would give his interest to such amala.—(Cheers.)
If they had not been abandoned in Clare, Willion
Nugent Nl‘Namant would fill the station he then

a shame -to see this man's son representative for

Tut; DOMESTIC SWALLOW.—In the kitchen
of Mr. JOliN GOULD, ganlener, of Newland, a swalloil
has, during the present summer, built her nest, produced
young ones, and is now building a second nest. The inoo,
singular thing is, that the bird, in order to gain access anti
egress, waits the pleasure of the inmates of the house,
opening the door, and, at these' opportunities, passes t°
and from her nest. This is the second year that a swalloof
has built in the same situation, and there is no doubt thsl
it is the same bird..—.Xfull Packet.
