ASSIZE. INTELLIGENCE.
, HO ME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, March 21.
The business for the county of Kent was not concluded until
Saturday, and Baron Gurney then proceededp Lewes to open
the commission. Before his departure, he" passed sentence
upon several poisoners, upon whom judgment had been
res-
pited, and, among others, James Miles, the Master of the 800
Union workhouse, who pleaded guilty on Friday to two indict-
ments for female children in the Workhouse.
Baron Gnarl EY said be had consulted Mr. Baron Alderson
in this case, and he had adjudged the defendant to b. Impri-
soned for three months upon each of the indictments. •
The Cimm►ssion for Sussex was opened on Saturday after-
noon, and this morning the Court, proceeded to business. In the
Crown Court fifteen_ prisoners, all labouring men, living in the
neighbourhood of Lewes, surrendered to take their trial upon
an indictment for riot, and assaulting some of the constabulary..
Mr. Clarkron and Mr. Creevy were for the prosicittion, and
Messrs. James and Johnson appeared for the defendants.
The account of the disturbance appeared in The Sun at the
time.

'The Jury acquitted the defendants of the riot;'•but found
them guilty upon the fifth count of obstructing the highway,
and, causing a nuisance by throwing fire-works about the
public streets.
Edward Stevens, 24, was indic'ed capitally for stabbing
William Reavil, with intent to murder him.
It was stated that the prisoner was insane. For some time
he refused to ansuer any question put to jaim, or to plead to
the ithtictment. Ile at length said,, in answer to a question
put to him, that he was not guilty that he knew ef, and Baron
Alderson then directed a plea of not guilty, to be recorded.
The Jury ' acquitted the prisoner on the ground-that he was
of unsound' mind, when he committed the offenee,- and
~the,
Conti ordered him to be _detained in sate custody.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-;•:,Shrewsbury Mara 21.

•TRE CHIRAC-MURDER.— John. Williams. and Joseph -Stare,-
son were placed at the bar this morning, charged with the
murder of Emma Evans,. on the 16th December last. .
Mr. F. V. Lee (with whom was Mr. Cook) prosecuted on
behalf of the Crown ; and the prisoner Slawson was defended
by Mr. Yardley. . .
It appeared, from the evidence adduced on this occasion,
that it is the custom for tai!ors in this part of the;country to
make up the cloth purchased by their employers at the owner's
house, Ind for this purpose they resort thither, with their
journeymen, until the work is completed. The prisoner Slaw-
son was a tailor, and for some time previous to the end of last
year was in the employ of one William Vaughan, with whom
he resided. Going to his work on the morning of the Bth,
with his master and another man, as they were passing
the deceased's cottage, between six and seven o'clock, they
observed, a light. In one of the rooms, which led to the
remark -from Vaughan to Sitiesen, " What an indtistrioui
old woman that must be to be up so early 1" Some fur-
ther conteniation ensued respecting her, and it was remarked,
that she must be worth money. On the Monday following,
Slawson applied to his master for his wages. Vaughan re-
monstrated, adding that he had much work to be done, and
that it would be using him ill to desert him then ; he replied,
that he. only wanted to go to Wrexham to get some
clothes, and would most certainly be back that night. Shortly
before this, he had been heard to say, that " if the Wrexham
chaps knew of such an old woman living alone in such a place,
they would soon be there to rub her:" His object in leaving
his master's employ was, as the event proved, to find an sewn-
plice, vehioh want he speedily supplied by obtaining Williams's.
concurrence in hit nefarious arrangements. The two pri-
soners were then traced, by the testimony of numerous
witnesses, to' the neighbourhood of Emma Evans's house
from Wrexham, -on the afternoon of the following Thurs-
day, and the murder was proved to have been committed
between six and seven the same evening, two hours after
which time, that is, about a quarter past nine, the two prisoners
stopped at a public-souse near Rhunbon, at the Cefn„where
they appeared fatigued, and asked the landlady to fry some
bacon, which they produced, and which was shown to have
been a portion of a flitch which the murderers of Mrs. Evans
had carried off from the house. While the Won was frying,
the MOW/ observed a bundle, which had been deposited in
her back kitchen, and which, on her making inquiries reepeet-
it, Williams claimed as his. Ills manner excited her suspicions.
She communicated them to her son, who watched an opportu-
nity of examining the packet, and it. clearly appeared to him
to contain some tea, tobacco, and other articles, which con-
firmed him In his opinion that a robbery had recently been
committed somewhere; he, however, allowed the two men
to de fart, when he procured the ististance of his brother-in-
law, Davies, who joined him in pursuing them ; they overtook
the two prisoners about a mile and a half from the publics
hotisei walking 'eery fast, when Davies tapped Williams on the
shoulder and said; " Yea are the person and bundle I want ;"
whereupon both the prisotiers toot to their heels, and wernsoun
lost in the darkness of the night. The bundle which they
dropped *as taken up shortly after, and inspected by two
gi9ttates, Lord Dungannon and Mr. Lovett, who.immediately
took active theasttres for the apprehension of the delinquents,
all the, articles coilteined in the bindle having been shown
to hare belonged to the UhMrttinate deceased. ~Py those

were visible upon the face as if gotlEt had knelt upon it
(the ititpress of corduroy trousers being Aiteettrilele on the
chin), and had theft drawn a sharp knife across the thfoat,
and the deed appeared as if bet little time had been taken.

directioh 10 'Midi they had fled was not discoverable, and
Williams was only aecldetttally .apprehended about a fortnight -
after, through the instrumentality of Mt. Firrihnder,a silver-
smith at Coventry, to whom he offered some sliming end sugar
tongs (pattt of the plunder) forsale. The other prisoner was
speedily foetid its a house close by, and with Williams,taken
before a Magistrate at Coventry. After their committal, on
to say, they stated, that they

searched, Slawson was found to be wearing; at the time of his
apprehension; a shirt which was known to hate been in Mrs.
Etans's house the day before her death. Since their incarce-
ration in the gaol of this town the two prisoners have made
statements giving different accounts of the transaction, each
endeavouring thereby to criminate the other, but both ad-
mitting that they were the sole perpretators of the crime.
At the time when these statementa were reduced into writing,
the chaplain and governor of the gaol were present, as was also
the under-sheriff, and the prisoners were respectively cautioned
that they need say nothing whatever unless they thought pro-
per, at whatever they did say would most undoubtedly be used
against them at their trial.

knowledge and skill to other lands. Our paper contained
yesterday an example of an Englishman establishing an
earthenware manufacture in Spain, and then procuring
law to lay a heavy duty on earthenware imported from
England. Similar facts have come to our knowledge of
sdveral of the American States, such as Mexico, in
,vhich Englishmen have introduced' manufactures, and
have immediately obtained, to the detriment of England,
a prohibition to import the same articles. .Now, at pre-
Aent the rate of profit is so low in England, that men
tittd it for their advantage to remove their establish- '
ments into other countries. A tax which will reduce

their profits nearly three per cent., in addition to sub-
jecting them to a continual inquisition into their pro-
fits, which no tradesman likes, will increase the relative
advantages of other countries, and the disadvantages of
.England. It will give an increased stimulus to emigra-
tion. Capital and ingenious workmen, seeking a better
market, will flow faster out, of the land, and all who re-
Main behind will find less employment and lower wages.
Some persons think that the more capital and work-
Men flow out of the country, the more room there is, and

room we grant, but if room make men wealthy, the

beings. The reverse is the fact. One man constitutes

the niarket for the produce of another, and the two
working together prochice a great deal more than they
both. could, working singly. What is true of two is
equally true of every greater number. Division of la-
bour, ►which is a prolific source of skill and ingenuity,
obviously depends on the densi!y'of the population, and
will be effective and complete in proportion as the people
are numerous. They will be wealthy in tho same pro-
portion. To drive them out of the country by taxation,
is, in fact, to arrest the beneficial progress of society,
from which the lowest classes are always the first and
the greatest sufferers. To be above the very lowest im-
plies ability to resist destruction for a longer period.
The principle applies throughout, and, consequently, as
the middle classes are made to feel exclusively the
weight of a new tax, privation, deficiency of employ-
ment, and misery, will be the lot of those below them.
By taxing inoomes a large portion of the annual pro-
duce, ►which is now employed in setting productive labour
in motion, will be perverted to 'unproductive labour.
There will be more soldiers and sailors. The children
of the working classes may find some employment in
the army and nary, but there they will produce nothing
to sustain life, or add to wealth, and, being so em-
ployed, they ►►ill diminish the effective demand for
labour with every succeeding year. Wages must fall,
or must keep down to the lowest level at which. life can
be sustained, and the misery which the community has
been suffering for years past, instead of now coming to
an end, will be made the standard of li►ing, and be per-
petuated.

These indirect effects of direct taxation, making it
fall with great weight on the wages of labour, are known
to Sir ROBERT PEEL, or they are not. If they be not
known, his profound ignorance shows that he is quite
unfit to be the. Minister of this great commercial country.
If they be known, which is, we believe, the case, what
can be said for his honesty ? He bids by his Budget, as
we have before said, for popularity ; but he bids for it
by pandering to an opinion which he knows to be erro-
neous, and by fostering a belief which he knows to be a
delusion. He acts consistently, we admit ; for his whole
political career has been marked with similar dishonesty.
That, however, only makes him more dangerous, for
what security have we that the man who will basely
pander to a vulgar error to pass a Budget, will not ex.:
cite public crimes to secure his power?
The disease which afflicts the industrious classes is
excess of taxation—taxation for the State—taxation for

the Churchtaxation for Monopolists ; and the Prime
Minister can find no remedy for this disease but to dose
us with more bf the fatal poison. What the country wants
is the:abolition- of the. taxation now levied for behoof of
Monopolists, and then it could easily supply the wants
of the State. But the industry of the country has now
become inadequate to answer the enormous demands
which are made on it from many .quarters. That the
monopolists, the enemies and plunderers of induslry,
should encourage the Prime Minister 'to lay on more
taxes, is natural ; but for any section of the industrious
classes to encourage him in the same career, from the
foolish notion that the new tax will not reach them, is
absurdly to offer their back to new burdens when they
are already crushed by their load.

The affair of the Creole continues to excite a great
deal of interest in the United States. This intel.est is
kept alive by the publication of a series of official papers
intended to be communicated to the British Government,
but of which duplicates find their way into the columns
'of the New York papers long before the originals can
reach Downing-street. The great inconvenience of
such a mode of conducting diplomatic negotiations
would seem to us sufficient to deter a Government from
it, were it not entirely objectionable on the score of
its indelicacy towards foreign powers, as the civilized
world has always considered it to be. But Mr. DANIEL
WEBSTER, American Secretary of State, appears
to be of a very different opinion. Accordingly we
find in the New York Journals of the 12th of
February, a copy of the Instructions relative -to the
"slave cargo" of the Creole addressed by him to Mr.
EVERETT, the American Ambassador in London, while
Instructions directed to be communicated officially to
Lord ABERDEEN bear date the 29th of January, 1842-
or just fourteen days before the Yankee Public was in-
vited to pronounce judgment upon them ? This exces-
sive eagerness to let all the world know what he is about
may be the result of excessive vanity on the part of Mr.
WEBSTER ; but we are rather inclined to attribute it to
the fear of offending the, Sovereign People. lie knows
not well what to do, and he invites the newspapers to
help him. Mr. WEBSTER says that he hourly expects
the arrival of Lord ASHBURTON in Washington, to settle
among other matters of disputethis quarrel of the
Creole, and yet he cannot refrain from committing him-
self beforehand by the publication of his views on the
subject !

Mr. EVERETT, the American Ambassador, here, is a
gentleman of extensive literary acquirements, and no
indifferent theologian and lawyer—for he early in life
appeared in the pulpit, and at the bar—and one of the
most 'judicious Members of the Federal Legislature of
the United States. Yet upon the question of the Creole
dispute, Mr. WEBSTER schools him as if he were some
sucking vice-consul of twenty, who- might be called
upon to answer intricate questions touching doubtful
points of international law. He tells the Ambassador
not only what to say, but how to say it, and in addition
to the facts to be stated, and the threats to be employed,
...
supplies him with the logic and the requisite number
of heses, which are to be Carefully and impressively
cited.

prima facie siste'f§:, Bast we may safely leave the (pies-.
tion in the hands of Or Government.
,Sir ROBERT
PEEL will certainly not incur the infamy of de-
claring the British people slave dealers by
paying the Americans for a cargo of run-a-way slaves.
But Mr. DANIEL WEBSTER asks, How do we know that
they were slaves ? The question is a proper one. We
had a right to assume that they were not, and so had
.no right to prevent them from going about their busi-
ness. He admits • that none but those actually arrested
by the British authorities were guilty of insubordination.
What nonsense then to talk of our detaining them if
they were neither criminals nor the property of
United States REPUBLICANS !
