DEAN OF CHESTER.

Deanery, Chester, February 20.
Dtai, giv—l have received the favour of your letter, containing
the recorded judgment of many most respectable members of the
Univeraity of Oxford, " that Mr. Peel is -unfit to be re elected at
the present crisis," and inviting me to vote for Sir Robert Inglis. '
On every personal and public ground, I rejoice at the selection of
such a candidate by the opponents of Mr. Peel. Sir Robert 'lnglis
is one of my best and most valued friends; a man of the highest
character, and honourably distinguished by his zeal and ability-in
defence of out Protestant 'Constitution. But am sure you will
perceive that' my. 'Ott on tits occasit'sn most be decided hymn ape.
del consicietatlop. Those with whom you act have` ins dirt
tend manly manner, brought the matter to this issue-w" Is Mr.
_Peel unfit to be re-elected at the present crisis. Idu not think
that he is. I will not, therefore. assist in ca.biering him.
And now let .me trouble you with a few words respecting my-
self. You say—s" Report, are circulated here (Oxford) in respect
to a change of your opinions on a subject on which you have writ.
ten so ably and so much. We are unwilling to give credit to such
rumours." I thank you, and whoever else joins you in this send
ntent, for year nowil;engness to give credit to any thing which you
may, think discreditable to me. In the present instance, the ru-
mours you refer to, as far as they have reached me, are either so
vague as to be unintelligible to me, or, if they assume the shape of
an allegation of facts, are absolutely false. A. to my opinions, they
remain unchanged; they accord with the spirit of any letter to Mr
Canning. p. 138-464, and more especially with the " Application •
of the Argument," in my Letter on the Coronation Oath, p. 116
—lBO, It any of those who have done me the honour of reading
these works, have happened to attend to such pasts only of them
as Mi in with their own pre-conceived opinions, it is rather hard
that I should be made answerable for their inadvertence. &JAI'
4...limey, I have the gratification of knowing, thaethe most distils-
gisklied of the names in etc printed paper you have sent to me are
net in this error. They have ststed (as I doubt not you have beard)
in voluntary vindication of an absent and slandered friend, that my'
writings bad prepared them to expect that I should be favourable
to an adjustment of the Roman Catho'le question, 'on terms
compatible with the security of the Protestant Constitution.—
Whether the Bill about to be brought into Pat Hainaut be of this
character, Ido not know. If I shall deem it such (and I heartily
wish I may see reason to do so) I shall not be deter red by clamour
in any quarter from avowing my opinion ; if Otherwise, I shall not
be backward in joining in any fit mode of expressing dissatils
faction. For the plesent. I content myself with citing to you,
sod to every one who may feel an interest in what concerns me, a
single sentence (p. 179, 180) in my letter published last year, on
the ,Coronation Oath—a sentence which Mr. Witstor-Hoe-on
has, with very good reason, publicly treated as an invitation- (he
himself calla it a challenge) to consider the matter of securities on
both sides. " In one word, then, see whether.you-(the Roman Ca-
tholics) can offer us any real and adequate security for our Church,
if the boon you ask be granted, or try to -find the securities which
we, on our part, may devise, such as you can conscientiously ac-
cede to." 14 hether the writer of this sentence can be justly charged
with inconsistency for now testifying, or acting upon, a wish that
adequate seeurnies-may be proposed, is a question which I will not
insult your inderwauding by asking you. You are at 'serial
liberty to spider this a public letter.
I an; dear. Sir, your faithful servant,
HENRY PHILLPOTTS.

It is understood that the system bitherto aced stroll
by the C,mmissioners for the Reduction of the National'
Debt, of purchasing Stuck 'hi the' public market, is las
be entirely abandoneJ, and that the whole of the Soli
plub Revenue, whatever it may be, is to be st plied its.
liquidating the sum, advanced by the Rink of England,
to government on Excheqrter Bilk, and tu'isequently
in paying off the Exchequer Bills which are 8 wing in
the market. This will be a sensible and beneficial
measure is every point of view.

The present large amount of the Unfunded Debt is
a serious evil, and clamps the energies of the country;
and the utmost inconvenieoce has been frequently ex-
perieneed from the Government being in debt to the
Bank. Both them evils .will be got ILI of by the in-
tended measate; and as the intere4 paid on Etchequer
Bills is rather more than • thiee'per cent. "per annum,'
and the price now paid fir Stock in the msket effects:
• reduction of little more than the same sate of interest,
the-beneficial operation of the proposed scheme will be
obtained at it very small expense. But its most bederti.l,
coniequetice will be the gradual diminution of the issues
of the Bank; of England which it evil) produce. At
present, the effect of the purchases of Stock by the
Commissioners for the Redaction of the Debt- is to
increase the- issues of Bank Notes, inasmuch as the
seller of the Stock bought by the Conimissioners is paid
for it in Bank Notes; and the Bank has no objection thus
to hicrease its issues, beeause as it holds Exchequer Bills

We regret to find that symptoms of great commercial
Distress are appearing in several of the Minufaituring

In Glasgow, five homes have already stnpped -

ire of the• first respectability, it is *.fe,ared that their
failure may draw in several other .d.nts. The state of
the Silk Trade cannothe viewed without coniiderable
appiehension.

•
We cannot sufficiently condemn the course pursued
some Members of both Elnuie.: of Partiaiirenti in
Pude if... Mari to represent that the Petitions which are
Sally inuring in from all quarter., are what they call
get•upt.. or " packed," to serve a particular pugpote,
aftlt-instigation of interested persom; and we are.sur.
rased to find thxt those Members who have hitherto
been the most zealous and determined so ppottei s of the
right cf p titioning, and of the importance of this pri-
e•lege of Englishmen, should now be the foremost to
-ight and deride the numerous Petitions which as
daily presented bcth to the Lords and Commons.—
Sorely these persons • must perceive that the effect
if their conduct is to bring into disuse this first
hulwark of liberty, and to lead the people ulti-
mately to' demand some other mode by which their
sPritimerts cao •be expressed, and their wishes at-
tended to, Brdscitarortr, the soundest author who
ever wrote on the laws of England, lays. it down
as a general principle, "That in a free State; over y
matt ought to be in some measure hirovsn governor;
and thetef•re a .branch at least of the legislative
power ould reside in the whole body of the people."
It is-upon this principle that in a large Skate. in which,
as in this country, the people-are represented in the
great Council of the nation-hy certain pet eons chosen
from amongst.themselves. they, the people,
.have a
rigist to submit their opinion and express their wishes
to their Representatives, by the form of petition ; and
although it would be too much to say, that in all-cases
'the Represe,ntatiets must follow- toe wishes of the
people, yet it cannot be denied that -a respecifuratten•
tionthould be paid to such express:on of the people's
opinion, more particularly when, es upon- the ,present
occo:oti, it :el Ate,. to a subject in which .evettelitizen
is deepliinterested—namely, the trety 'principle' of the
Constitution wllich he has been tangta to revere e.
We cannot but think, then, that more •otto.stion
.hould be paid to the numerous Petitiont: which itow
crowd the tables of the Houses of Parliament; and
hat Honourable_ Alemkers would do' well to leisioar
from convincing the people that their notion of the
value of this privilege has also been founded in-error.

Mr. John Landseer, a very Old and infirm Gentleman,

general character during that period was that of a sober

A Xis. Holloway, a Devonshire-mews, also knew-
the -prisoner roc 12 months, and believed her to be a
sober proper woman. Never heard any thing to the
contrary, excepting what she bad teed in the news-
papers. On the night the prisoner and Jane Byrne loft

cells, that the prisoner was in liquor, although she was
in a high state of agitation. She was accompanied lay
Jae/ Byrne, whose clothes were torn, and who was
crying daring the greater part of the nigh:.
This evidence concluded the case for the defence;
and the case having occupied the Court for six hoots
And a half, the Recorder proposed to postpone his
charge for an hour, in order that the Jury and those-
. d sbould,intbe interim, have some refs eshnient.
hal f past six o'clock, the Jary having again as-
sembled, the ftirCOßDisit proceeded to sem up the ai-
des", which he did by, explaining the charge with
which the prisoner stood accused, and the state of the
law as applicable to it. He commented upon- the man-
'Gamin which the indictment had been framed, cad said
.that there was no necessity whatever to have set fonds
kw many assignments of perjury, which merely served
to embarrass the case, and answered no good purpose
whatever. Several of these assignments had been
negatived by the cross-examination of the. prisoner's
Counsel, and many of them were so trivial and un-
important, that he wondered bow the prosecistor's
.idvisers could have framed them with a'view to si
conviction. His Lordship then went into the evidence,
tatinning with the testimony of Mr.. Smith, spots
Which he commented at considerable length. It was
ttin.nauch, he thought, that the Jury should. be called
twin to believe the evidenceola man, who, by his own
confession—a confession wbicb he bad made in open
Court, and indeed seemed almost to glory in it-.i.wae
a hunter after female reputation, and a common des•
stroyer of innocence and virtue. Had he not also
contradicted himself, and grossly prevaricated before
the Court and the Jury? Was a manso be credited,-
*fen although bound by the sacred obligasion of am-
lath, who could not tell whether be had been ming--
stilly charged three or four times in the course of his
life? His Lordship here read his pct., to the Jury all
Mr. Smith's evidence, and remarked upon the discre-
pancies which it contained, and the disgusting admiw
inns which that individual had made, and the total
pant of shame and decency which his words and deo.
ineanour had exhibited. In referring to the charge
made against him by Jane Byrne, he drew the atten-
tion of the Jury to this circumstance—namely, that the
prosecutor had omitted to set out in the indictment an
assignment of perjury, which of all others they could
-Imre easiest proved, it it we capable of proof—he al-
ltided to the circumstance of Roebuck having stated
,shat Jane Byrne, when she came down stairs, after
Smith had accomplished his purpose, appeared in great
distress, with her hair about her shoulders,zaod her
clothes turn.

Mr. ALLAY here interrupted his Lordship. An as-
signment of perk': y on that ground could not be sus-
tained, because there was only one witness present who
could prove the fact.
The RECORDER—Sir, I mast not be interrupted: you
must not openly contradict me.
Mr. ALLAY—I.say you are mistaken, and have mis-
itated a fact to the Jury. We could not have assigned
Perjury upon the ground you mention.
The Rat:Amu-4 I say you could, Sir ; there were
two witnesses present—the man who came, as he said.
Co witness Smith pay ,the. prisoner and Byrne their
/Pvt. and Smith's groom. It was very *song for
Itlestosel openly to-contradict a Judge in his chate to a
Jury:l.4lk Lordship then ontinned his address, in
the course of which be came to the first meeting with
Jane Byrne. When the Juty saw a man taking a
young woman into his service, and afterwards making
bte his harlot, .according to his own confession, what
dgrte of credit could they attach to his statement as
affecting the character of that unforthnate young wo.
man? The. erum in which the prisoner's Counsel had
.deperlbed the prosecutor, although severe, wets just,
mad fully. warranted by the circumstances disclosed in
