his character as to suppose that he would be di-
verted by so clumsy an artifice from the free exer-
cise of his discretion, that such a supposition could
never enter into any head that was merely wicked ;
whilst it takes such a circumscribed view of the
personal influence of the King as could never origi-
nate in an intentional misrepresentation. It is well
known to every man of the least discernment that
his Majesty possesses far greater power than any of
his immediate predecessors, not from any unconsti-
tutional stretch of the Prerogative, but from the
contrast of his personal character. Whilst he enjoys
the full and free exercise of his Kingly Authority,
and a personal consideration at the same time, such
as no Monarch before him enjoyed for the last two
centuries, it is pre-eminently idle, as well as ridi-
culous, to say that he cannot follow the suggestions
of his own wisdom on so momentous an occasion as
the choice of his Chief Minister. To defend his
right upon constitutional principles would be alto-
gether supererogatory, as there is no dispute what-
ever on that subject ; and we trust it is now unne-
cessary to vindicate it upon the score of expediency,
after the many and splendid proofs he has given of
a penetration which nothing can deceive, and of
a love of true glory, which, as all the acts of his
reign attest, is synonymous in his person with love
of his people. To what safer hands, therefore,
can the choice of a successor to the Earl of Liver-
pool be entrusted than to those to which it belongs
by virtue of his Royal Prerogative ? We can only say,
that any attempt, enforced by factious means, or supported
by underhand intrigue, to divert it into any other channel,
would be as inconsistent with the best interests of the
country, as incompatible with the spirit of the Constitu-
tion, and would be repelled with indignation. The King
can only be influenced by one motive in the nomination,
namely, the desire of imparting the utmost possible
strength and harmony to his Government, and without
which it would be vain to count upon the continuance of
concord at home or of respect abroad. Whatever his choice
may be, it will have the powerful recommendation of being
the result of mature deliberation, to which was brought
the.clearest insight into the various folds of the human cha-
racter, aided by a judgment formed upon long and familiar
intercourse with men of different shades of genius; and to
suppose, therefore, that it will not give satisfaction to the
public, would be a libel upon the good sense which has
ever characterized the people of this country. In conclu-
sion we must say, though we have said it again and again,
that there is not say one man in the country, however high
his reputation or splendid his endowments may be, whose
presence in the Cabinet is an indispensible condition either
of its strength, respectability, or true popularity ; and we
can conceive nothing so precarious as a scheme of national
prosperity which rested upon the sole support of any in-
dividual.—Morning Post.

EMIGRATION.

Mr. A. BARlNG.preseuted the Report of the Commit-
tee appointed to inquire into the subject of emigration.
This duty, he observed, had devolved on him in consequence
of the indisposition of the Chairman of the Committee. He
strongly recommended the report to tl* attention of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and trued that the Right
Honourable Gentleman would dispost of this important
subject as osgon as
.pcissillik The tragalvas not a final
but a special-report, aria IneasinVVlhittiiilpreeposed
in it, he thought it right to state, was recommended una-
nimously by the Committee. It was proper that the
question should be quickly decided, :either one way or
other ; as there were at this moment a namber of poor in-
dividuals kept in suspense in consequence of their uncer
tainty as to the intentions of Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was.not
unaware of the tenour of this report. The Hon. Gentle-
man had yesterday communicated to him, that it would be
presented in the course of the present evening—and that
certain propositions had been founded on the evidence
taken before the Committee. He could assure the Hon.
Gentleman, that he had lost no time in endeavouring to
make himself master of the facts detailed in the evidence.
That evidence he had received last night, and he had read
himself almost blind, without being able to get through it,
Whatever might be the opinion which he had formed on
this subject, he thought the Hon. Gentleman could not
expect him to state that opinion, until the House were put
in possession of the same opportunity which had been af-
forded to him, of becoming acquainted with the nature of
the evidence.

The report wag ordered to be printod.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Edward Steward, an
athletic Hibernian, was put to the bar, charged with an
assault and robbery.
Samuel Reynolds, Esq. solicitor, Carmarthen-street, de-
posed, that he was returning to his residence, in company
with a friend, last night, between the hours of ten and
eleven, when, on passing the corner of Meux's brewhouse,
at the bottom of Tottenham-court-road, the prisoner darted
out of the dark, and giving him a severe blow in the pit of
the stomach with one hand, snatched his watch with the
other, and made off up Bainbridge-street. Deponent, as
soon as he had recovered from his surprise, gave the prisoner
chase, and kept up the pursuit, though several dark and
narrow streets, in the lowest neighbourhood of St. Giles's,
until encountering the watchman on his rounds, at the
corner of Church-street, he was, after considerable resist-
ance, apprehended.
Sir G. FARRANT recollected the prisoner's face, and
asked whether he had not been there before ?
The officers in attendance stated, that he had been twice
before his Worship, and not long discharged.
The prisoner simply declared his innocence of the charge
against him. .
The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute at the
present Sessions.

COVENTRY ELECTION.

Mr. Secretary STURGES BOURNE presented a pe-
tition from Coventry, in favour of the Bill for giving con-
current jurisdiction to the Magistrates of Warwickshire in
regulating the elections for that city.
Mr. 11. GURNEY suggested, that instead of this Bill,
which he deemed altogether inadequate, the Freeholders of
Coventry, who were now deprived of suffrage, should vote
for the City, and share in the appointment of the Magis-
trates. This remedy would go to the root of the evil.
Mr. F. PALMER objected to the Bill.
TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS.
Petitions for the repeal of the Test and Corporation
Acts were presented from the Protestant Dissenters of
Ashburton, Devonshire, by Mr. Sturges Bourne ; from
East Tynentouth, and another place in the same county, by
Sir T. D. Acland ; from Norwood, in Surrey, and West-
bout n Green, in Middlesex, by Mr. C. Pallmer ; and from
Wigan, in Lancashire; by Mr. J. Wood.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at twenty minutes before one o'clock.

SALE OF BREAD BILL.

Alderman WOOD baying been requested to ask per-
mission to withdraw the Sale of Bread Bill, it was with-
drawn accordingly.

SMALL DEBTS' ARREST BILL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having moved the
second reading of the Bill to prevent arrests for sums under
the sum of twenty pounds,
Mr. HOBIIOUSE intimated his intention to oppose the
Bill. If the Hon. Member would consent to take the dis •
cussion upon it in the Committee, he had no objection to
allow the Bill to be read a second time at present.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to adopt that
course.

After a few words from Mr. HUIVIE upon the absurdity
displayed by the Solicitor-General.in supporting this Bill,
and objecting to that he had introduced,
Mr. J. WOOD hoped that the Hon. Member (the So-
lieitor-General) would turn his attention' to the evils IT-
suiting from that expensive writ, the Special Original.
After a few words from the Attorney-General, Mr.
Davies Gilbert, Mr. Hudson Gurney, and Mr. Home
Drummond, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Thursday next.
Mr. HOBHOUSE •hoped the Hon. Member (the Soli-
citor-General) was sure that he could take the discussion
on. that day. His constituents
,vousidered the Bill as little
better than an Act to legalise swindling under the amount
of 201.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL saw no reason to doubt
that the discussion could be taken on that day.
The discussion ie, therefore, to be taken on Thursday
next.

ficient remuneration to the Judge, he would not be
in the way Of forming any ono of those connexions
which might warp his judgment in the execution of
justice. He was, however, aware that in passing
such a law there were reasons to believe that though
such a system might be generally acceptable, still, at
the same time, it could not be carried into effect
without repealing many laws existing in the West
Indies. What he had therefore intended was, that
the measure he proposed should not take effect, ex-
cepting in those islands where their respective Le-
gislatures had already repealed such laws as would
prevent the fair operat►on of the measure. He begged
pardon for having detained the House so long.
Lord GODERICH said, that though the

tion he had recently held did not necessarily make
him acquainted with all those particulars to which
his Noble Friend had referred, lie certainly knew
enough of the situation of the West Indian colonies,
to be fully aware of the importance of the different
points alluded to. He was fully impressed with the
difficulties, but was afraid that it would be impossi-
ble for him to submit to the House during the pre-
sent Session of Parliament any measure on the sub-
ject; for he was sure that a precipitate and uncon-
sidered measure would be more prejudicial to the in-
terests of the colonies than leaving the present sys-
tem untouched, and would defeat the object which
his Noble Friend, whose attention had been directed
to the subject, had in view. At present he should
only say that the suggestions of his Noble Friend
would be the best light to guide hint in the consi-
deration of the question.—(Hear.)

:EPSOM RACES.—Faisicy, Juice 1.
The great race this day was the Oaks, upon which many
hundred thousands were at stake. The betting on it, as
well as the Derby, has lately beat very strange, and to
many quite incomprehensible I favourites have been tossed
from the top to the bottom, and then bask again, like
shuttleeocks ; and the whole lot, though much superior to
the Derby horses, have been so unhealthy, as to make their
friends afraid to back them. The race came off a little
before three o'clock yesterday afternoon as follows:
The Oaks Stakes of 50 son. each. h. ft; for three-yr-
old Allies, Bst. 41b. The owner of the second horse to

After soma delay, through a fault in Guhire's plates,
they set off at very strong running, Brogan' and Gulnare
in front, and the others well laid in. Thus placed, they
crept np the bill, Brocard heading a little up to Tottoahara
corner, and past, when the race seemed to be between these
two; but just round the corner, Translation same up in a
resolute manner, let loose, and endeavoured to get the Levi
of Gulnare ; however, it was without effeet—srhippiug
and spurring was the order of the day, and the race betweea
these two and Brocard was beautifully run to the Judge's
Stand, when Gulnare was declared the winner by half a
length, amidst the acclamations of the spectators. We
believe that so many as 19 for the Oaks, and 23 for the
Derby, never before started. The dam of Gulnare was
also an Oaks winner. Value of the stakes to the Duke,

some severity, upon the ignorance both of the Scotch and
English Law displayed by the Hon. Mover of this Bill.
The Bill itself had Scarcely a single dance which could be
called intelligible, and seemed to be the composition of some
Writer to the Signet,' rather than" of a lawyer possessed of
experience adequate to such a difficult task. This Bill was
in every respect highly objectionable. The Bill of his Hon.
Friend (the Solicitor-General), oa the contrary, was calcu-
lated to confer many advantages upon the public; but the
Hon. Member who raised co many objections to it seemed
totally ignorant of the difference between a simple contract
debt and a specialty, or between an arrest upon mesne pro-
cess and an arrest on final judgment. As to the prohibi-
tion of arrest for a sum less than 201., lie had no objection
to extend it even to 100/.,eso convinced was he of its pro-
priety, but he was not prepared to propose it himself. He
thought the details connected with such a proposal required
the most mature deliberation, and the advice of all who
were acquainted at once with the theory and the practice of
the law. As he considered, however, that the measure
of arrest above a certain sum was of little consequence,
when a man who had property could, if he was arrested,
either pay or give bail, he would oppose the second reading
of the Bill.

The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but we un-
derstood that no division took place, as the Amendment was
agreed to.
The Bill is consequently lost. -
The Small Debts' Recovery Bill was read a third time
and passed.
London, England, 1827-06-02

DIORAMA.

We were this day favoured with a private inspection of
the Diorama, which (although every previous view has
been more or less the subject of eulogium) transcends any
former exhibition. The first picture is St. Cloud and
the Environs of Paris : it forms a pretty landscape with the
usual accompaniments of wood and water, but is totally
divested of character ;" by character we mean any scenic
peculiarity likely to impress it forcibly ou the mind. With
respect to illusion, it is good, but by no means striking ;
there is too much finish, too much minuteness of touch
about the picture; the trees want the wavy and free ap-
pearance of nature ; the water is stiff and formal, (particu -
lady where it first steals away into shade), and the
high road fronting the spectator, if not Macadamized,
is smooth and polished enough to be so. We except from
this stricture the appearance of a man who is represented
asleep by the road-side; his figure throws life into the land-
scape, and his body seems swelling, as it were from the
canvas. The group of trees surrounding a cottage, in the
foreground, are so substantial, that scarce even a North-
wind could stir them.; but, even with these defects, the
picture possesses first-rate merit, and, if it fails, fails only
in comparison with the former Dioramas. The second view,
" Ruins in a Fog," we unhesitatingly pronounce the finest
illusion we have ever witnessed. Art here trenches so
closely upon nature, that it might puzzle a spectator to de-
cide between them; the cold grey look of the ruins, the
damp leaden aspect of the morning, which seems clinging
in thick masses to tower and tree, the long perspective,
with the shadowy foliage at the end, the moist appearance
of the upturned earth, the ivy, the fretted archwork,
together with the nearer columns, here and there mil-
dewed with the hoar of age,alt these impress themselves on
the mind with a sense of the strongest and most resistless
reality. To lend an air of life to the scene, and mix it
up with associations of humanity, a spade and some tools
are seen carelessly lying on the pavement ; and it is really
surprising how forcibly this little touch of nature affects
the mind. The slow clearing away of the fog, which lends
sunshine to the ruins, and variety to the landscape, completes
the illusion; at first a few drops seem melting from the
matted ivy ; presently the mist fades like a curtain off
the scene, first bringing out the snowy peak of some distant
mountains, then disclosing the nearer fern and heath, till
gradually the whole romantic landscape bursts into broad
unclouded day. The perspective of the ruins, in which
consists the chief illusion, is faultless; and we were particu-
larly struck with the light shadowy and airy character of the
trees at the extremity. Perhaps the sight of cattle brows-
ing i.e the distance, or of a countryman er two winding
their way between the gaps of the hills, might have en-

PIGEON SHOOTING.

On Thursday last, a match took place at the Inclosure,
near the Red House Tavern, Battersea, between Mr. Oades,
of Staines, and Mr. Man, for 251. a side, at twelve pigeons
each, thirty yards from the trap, to hold the gun accord-
ing to the rules of the Old Hats' Club. They each killed
six, making a tie. They afterwards shot at six each again.
It ended in a tie, having each killed three, when Mr. Man
declined shooting any snore. His friends wished him to
shoot it off. Mr. Oades offered to shoot with him when-
ever he felt inclined, for any sum not less than 257., at
2§ pigeons, at 21 yards; the gun to be placed on the
table, and each person to pull his own string.
On the same day, a match took place between a publi-
can and butcher of Drury-lane, at fifteen pigeons each, for
ten pounds a side ; the betting was great, the publican was
the favourite at 6 to 4, the shooting was excellent; the
publican killed 13, and the butcher 14 ; the birds were
the best Blue Rocks—the publican intends having another
shy.

On Tuesday next, the first meeting of the Red-house
Club will take place, when Mr. Ross's new plan of the
five traps will be introduced, and the time for the Gold
Cup will be fixed. Lord Kennedy and Mr. OsbAdeston's
match will come off in the early part of June.
On Saturday, the first meeting of the Union Chib this
season took place, when there was a very full attendance

some dinner, provided by Mr. Swayne, of the Red-house
Tavern.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,
ANOTHER, VACANCY having taken place
in the DIRECTION of the Imperial Brazilian Min-
ing Association, by the _resignation of Moses Montefiore,
Esq., I again beg leave to solicit the honour of your Imp-
port to succeed to it. The grounds on which I presumed
to offer myself on the former vacancy are those on which I
take the liberty of requestieg it on the present one, viz. :
" The possession of a considerable interest in the concern,
and much leisure to devote to it." To these I may add,
that intimate knowledge of its affairs, which my having had
the honour of being on the Committee appointed for the
investigation of them, enabled me to acquire.
Should I be elected, through your kindness, to the office
of Director, my best exertions shall be used to promote the
prosperity of the Association.
I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Very respectfully, your obedient humble servant,

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 28.—The stock of British
Plantation sugar in this port being reduced to a
very small compass, the Grocers have been more
anxious to purchase, and have bought up all that
were offering suitable for the scale. The total
quantity sold is, however, not more than 600 hhds. ;
and the stock now remaining in first hands is only
800 hhds., nearly all of which are brown. The
holders of Bengal Sugar have been pressing sales
this week ; prices have in consequence given way Is.
per cwt., at which reduction 600 bags have been
sold. A small lot of good white Pernambuco
Sugar has been sold at 365., also of yellow Ha-
vannah at 335. per cwt. The Coffee Market wears
a more steady appearance; about 180 tees. clean
Jamaica (mostly good and fine ordinary) were taken
readily by the Grocers at full prices, and 600 bags
Havannah, ordinary and good ordinary, have been
bought for shipment at 435. 6d. to 475. 6d. per
cwt. A small parcel of Para Cocoa has been dis-
posed of at 345. per cwt., also of Pimento at Bad.

RUN-AWAY AND KICKING HORSES.—COOK'S
PATENT LIFE-PRESERVER.
THE objects of the LIFE-PRESERVER
are to stop four, a pair, or a single-horse, when run-
ning away with carriages of every description ; this may
be done by a lady or a child inside, if the coachun is
thrown from his seat—to secure them from starting off in
the temporary absence of the driver, an advantage of vital
importance in Stage Coaches—and in a gig it has the ad-
ditional advantage of preventing the horse from kicking. It
arrests the progress of the animals in a gradual manner ;"
it may be applied to any carriage in use, at the Manufactory,
127, Long Acre; and gentlemen who are going to build
new carriages may have it applied, in town or country, by
their own Coachmakers, for whose guidance printed in-
structions are prepared.
Now that the invention has been perfected and patro-
nised, and that a respectable body of Coach-builders have
undertaken to attach it to new carriages, such persons as
feel disposed to purchase the Irish and Scotch Patents of
this truly valuable discovery, are requested to call at the
Manufactory, where carriages, fitted, may be seen ; or
transmit by letter, post paid, the nature of their offer to
Lieut. Cook, the Patentee, who cannot give the necessary
attention to the invention in those countries which it
naturally requires. The Patent for England, which ex-
tends also to the Colonies, he reserves to himself, and any
person wishing to speculate, by sending the Life-Preserver
to any part of the Bast or West Indies, where it is very
much wanted, or indeed to any of the Colonies, will have
a liberal allowance, to make the.speculation well answer
their purpose.
By referring to the " Morning Post" of the 12th of
March ; " The Sow" of the 17th ; and the " New Times"
of the 18th of April, 1827, a very powerful and gratuitous
testimony, in favour of this invention, may be seen.
