HOUSE OF LORDS- THURSDAY. Their Lordships decided that Henry Legge Card- * er, Esq. liad made good Iiis claim to the Gardner Peerage.

' i hose Com- missioners were now prosecuting their inquiries, and had niilde considerable progress. ' I heir report, how- ever, was not quite ready, and until completed could not lie produced. As to the liberated slaves, they bad been placed under the cure of the Comptroller of the Customs, which might he called being under the luiini diate protection of ihe Lords of the Treasury. HOUSE OF COMMONS THURSDAY. 1.1 OR FOOT. AND MANCHESTER RAIL- ROAD. The third reading of the Liverpool and Manchester Rail- Road bill was moved by General GASCOYNR. The measure was strenuously opposed by Mr Stanley and Sir Isaac Coffin, and supported by Mr. W. Peel • ud Sir J. Newport. Mr. HCSKISSON spoke also in favour of the motion, contending that it was contrary to parliamentary usage to oppose a bill in that ad- vanced stage. ON a division the third reading was carried hy 88 to41, and tbe bill was afterwards passed. Mr Secretary PEEL introduced a bill to amend the practice under which the Sheriffs of Durham are elected. la consequence of the death of the lute Bishop, there was no Sheriff, and the Quarter Sessions could not be held.— The object of the bill is to em- power ail persons holding offices under the late Bishop to continue the duties of each office for six months from the date of the act, and until the new Bishop shall have filled up those offices respectively. The hill was in consequence passed through all its stages, and ordered to the Lords for their concurrence. PRESIDENT OF THE HOARD OF TRADE. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER— after highly eulogising the great talents of the President of the Board of Trade, as filling a situation in his Majesty's Councils than which there was none that required more devotion of body and mind, more information aud intelligence, and expressing his opinion lhat the post could not be filled by a man of greater zeal, perseverance, or firmness of mind than bis Right Hon. Friend, whose talents had been exerted so satis- factorily to the public, and so much to the benefit of his country— concluded hy moving that a salary of Fire ' Thousand pounds per annum be paid to ibe Pre- sident of the Board of Trade for the lime being.— Mr. HUM'S had no objection to the grant to the present highly- g ifted individual, but as he held ihe office of Treasurer of ibe Navy, he thought the salary of the latter might be reduced, so as lo form a fund whence tbe new salary might come. He could not consent in our present commercial aud manufacturing embarrass- ment, to the creation of a new salary, unless it were subtracted out of the amount of a fund created hy the reduction of sinecure salaries. — Mr. CALCRAFT sub- scribed to ihe opinion so generally prevalent, that no servant of the Crown discharged his duty with more ability aud integrity than the flight Hon. President of Iiic Board of Trade ; but he could uot conscientiously vote for creating a new office of £ 5000 a year, which Miaivter could confer on any political. friend or adherent.— Mr. BARING said he had always been an odrocale for abolishing sinecures, but, as he respected his own feelings, be could not entertain an objection to the resolution for a moment. To obviate any ob- jection however to the vote, the resolution might be altered so far as to let the Right Hon. Gentleman receive £ 2000 a year salary as Treasurer nf the Navy, and £ 3000 a year as President of the Bonid of Trade. — After some conversation, in which Mr. Hume, Mr. Secretary I'eel, Mr. R. Smith, Mr. Ellice, Mr. Baring, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, severally took pari, the Right Hon. Gentleman contented to with- draw his motion til! the morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The question of the Salary lo the President of the Board of Trade was resumed iu a Committee, and was Ihe only matter of importance that occupied ihe at- tentiou of the House. — Mr. TIERMEY expressed his entire concurrence in the propriety of attaching the proposed salary to that office, but protested against potting two such places at the disposal of Ministers ; he concluded by suggesting an advance of £ 2000 per annum to ihe Treasurership of the Navy, the duties of lint office being performed conjointly with those of President of liie Board of Trade. — Mr. HCSKISSOK, in addressing tiie House, said that lie felt tbe engage- ments of ihe two offices press heavily upon him, and he considered that he should not fulfil his duty to the country, by continuing longi r nominally to hold both situations ' without being able to hrstow adequate at- tention to the affairs of each.— Mr. CAI. CRAFT saw many reasons for the postponement of the question, and " proposed as an amendment, that the House shou'd report progress, and sit again on Monday, which motion was negatived on a division of 83 to 4.1. The debate was then resumed, and Mr. HUME moved an amendment for instituting an inquiry, whether any saving could be made in the office and salary of Treasurer of the Navy, which was also negatived on a division of 71 to 35. The original icsidiitiou was then put and carried without further division. Mr. Put. HAM, Member lor Shropshire, gave notice • fa motion for the 19th inst. 14 for occasionally holding ihe Parliaments in the Capitals of the Kingdom other than in London." Jk young man, named Joseph Lancaster, jun the proprietor of the Atlas steam packet and coach booking office, in Piccadilly, was examined at Bow- street on Saturday, charged with having appro- priated to his own use a valuable parcel entrusted to liis care to be forwarded into the country, the pro- jierty of Capt. Addison, of the Guards, On search- ing Ihe desk 6f t'. ie prisoner, various valuable pro- perty was discovered, and among others the parcel left at the office by Captain A.' s servant, together • with ail immense number of duplicates. Several persons complained that they had lost parcels con- taining property. The prisoner was remanded for further examination till Wednesday. THE LAND OF LIBERTY.— A Woman whipped io J) eath.—& a inquest was held in Stafford county, Virginia, lately, on the body of a negro woman, and a verdict was returned lhat she came to her death by excessive whipping.— American Paper. THE REVENUE.— It appears from the published accounts ofthe Quarter's Revenue ending April 5, that the produce of tbe. last quarter, as compared with the corresponding one of last year, shews a decrease of £ 682,799 ; and on tbe year, as com- pared with the preceding one, of £ 1,231,131. O. i tlie year, considering the amount of duties repealed in 1825, on wine, spirits, and some other articles, and tbe reduction of the assessed taxes, the abso- lute diminution of the receipts is less than might have been expected ; but of this decrease about half has taken place during the last quarter. In this quarter there is no principal branch of the revenue in which there is not a diminution, except the customs, to which a transfer of excise duties lies been made ; but both these branches, taken together, exhibit a decrease of more than half a million. — The decrease in the Quarter's Revenue is not, however, so great as had been anticipated. The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer, in bis speech on tbe opening of the Budget, assumed a deficiency in the present year of about two millions, partly from reductions in the duties of Customs aud Excise, partly from a diminished consumption of articles subject to those duties, and partly from loss on the produce of tbe Stamps, Taxes, and Post- Office. The chief proportion of this deficiency must have been expected by him to fall on the first quarter, from tbe pressure of that distress which was at its height about the end of the last and beginning of fhe present year. Anofher considerable cause of diminution iu the receipts of tbe last quarter was the indulgence in certain duties given by Govern- ment, as far as was consistent with the ultimate security of tbe revenue; a circumstance which holds out the hope that these deferred duties will come into the approaching" quarter, aud thereby make up the deficiencies of tbe last. It is also stated on authority, that " the collections through- out the country have of late been decidedly im- proving', and that of the last week was actually superior to the corresponding week of 1825 " Thus, notwithstanding the commercial difficulties which the country has so lately encountered, it is a subject of gratula'ion that the resources of British industry have beer, so slightly impaired, and that the revenue has suffered so small a diminution. It was reported' ill the City this morning tha' | advices had been received from Calcutta of the ] 10th and 17t'u December, which stated tbat 4be armistice with the Burmese had beeu broken, that hostilities had re- commenced, and that our troops had sustained a defeat in au attack which they made upon one of the enemy's stockades.— We have made inquiries in the proper quarter, and learn that a vessel has arrived from St. Helena, which spoke at sea a ship homeward- bound from India, whieb reported that hostilities bad re- com- menced there, but that after three days severe fighting, the Burmese retreated.— Courier. Inthe House of Lords, this evening, the Man- chester and Liverpool Railway Bill was, after some opposition by the Earl of Derby, read a second time. A number of Petitions from various places in Scotland against any alteration in the banking- currency of that part of the kingdom, were pre- sented. The Marquis of LANSBOWNE brought in a Bill to make all Country Bank Notes issued ill Great Britain payable at the places froni which they are issued.— The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday next. In the House of Commons, Mr. PANTON Con- BETT presented a petition from the maltsters of Ellesmcre, for a reduction of the duty on Malt. Anonymous Letter. P'rpHE Person who sent an Anonymous • M.

It is in don- templation to send 40,000 Spanish Bibles to South America, where tbe people have testified an anxious desire fo possess the holy writing ; so much so, that 500 Bibles, and'thesame number of New Testaments, sent to one of their towns, were disposed of in three days' time. EDUCATION IN IRELAND— Tbe Dublin Sven- irg Mail of the 29th ult. has the following remarks on this subject:— " The Report ofthe Kildare street Society for 1826 has been published. We earnestly entreat the atten- tion of Ihe public to this valuable document. It is one of the ablest, and, certainly, Ihe most important, that has ever issued from any public body in Ireland; and contains hot only a triumphant vindication from the charges brought against it, but au irrefutable demonstration of the excellence of tbat system upon which the Society has proceeded. As we have already given copious extracts from this admirable report, as delivered on the day of meeting, we shall not now occupy tbe reader's time with a repetition of them. Considering the subject of education, however, as Ibe most important that, in the present crisis, can occupy the attention either of the politician or the christian, we have hitherto laboured in the cause, and shall never cease lo advocate lite excellent societies which have already effected such extensive good, until, wilh Ihe blessing of heaven, we see Ibem fairly reinstated on their former fooling as lo parliamentary aid, or placed, perhaps, upon a belter, by Ihe liberality of Ihe public. That the system of education now putsued is precisely that best suited to the wants of Ireland, is in our minds as demonstrable as any other proposition in morals. The Bible is the great desideratum in Irish education. Wc have, as a people, our full share of reading aud writing— nearly as much as Ihe Scotch — certainly more than England ; and, all the world to nothing, more than France. From the returns of the Commissioners, it appears Ibat out of a population of 6,846,949, there are now in process of education 498,641, or about 1 in 14 of the whole— whilst Ihe proportion in Scotland is about 1 iti 10. But the Scotch are universally allowed lo be the most moral population in the world— whereas the Irish, with shame we apeak it, arc at Ihe best, but indifferent enough. Whence then arises this difference between tuo nations so nearly on a par in intellectual educa- tion? Clearly, because Ihe one is a Bible- reading people— lo the other the Bible is a sealed volume. Whilst Ihe intellectual education of Ihe Irishman was al tended to, his moial culture has been neglected. The Scotchman has both combined, and Ibe nation enjoys Ibe advantage. In Scotland every person is a Bible- reader— nut so ill Ireland. In Scotland, all who are in process of education read the Bible ; in Ireland, not more than one in forty- four of the whole popula- tion read it ; aud, if we take the returns of Ihe Sunday School Society as a correct criterion, which we believe they are, not more than one- third of those who are now receiving their education read ibe Bible as a pari of it.

We understand that at Ihe lasl Quarter Sessions for this county, a very full and satisfactory report was made to I lie Magistrates by ( lie Chairman ( Thomas Penvhcrlon, Esq.), on the subject of the Act of 5 Geo. IV. foi establishing uniformity of Weights aud Measures, comprising many of ibe provisions of, former Acts, ( which are for the most pan still in force,) and without reference to which, it is utterly impossible lo render the last Act either practicable or intelligible. For instance, when there is any doubt as to the correctness of the ' measures of capacity in the pos- session of the shopkeeper or other person, the examiner may seize them ( he himself having no guide or mark by which be can readily discern whether the same be correct or nut), and then take flicm before the Ma gist rates al their Petty Sessions, who are ( where re course cannot lie conveniently - bad to any verified copies or models) lo ascertain the contents of such measure by direct reference to the u- cight of pure or rainwater; ten pounds avoirdupois weight of such water at the temperature of si. vt.'- tico degrees by Fahrenheit's thermometer, being the standard gal- lon. To obviate such difficulties, the learned Chairman recommended some of the provisions of former Acts, and particularly of 11 Hen. VI. lo be adopted,. by which verified copies of those in ihe county town are lo be kept in every market town, and lo be in the possession of the head officer or constable of the same, and to which all tbe shopkeepers and others in Ihe neighbourhood are lo have access, in order to compare their onu weights, & c with them, and lo have such weights in their possession duly marked by such head officer or constable, so as fo authenticate their correct- ness.— According lo tbe last Act, the shopkeeper living at the extreme parts of the county has no means of celling his weights and measures duly compared and properly authenticated hot by bringing them to the county town where the verified models are de- posited. The Magistrates were unanimously of opinion, that the last Act, standing hy itself, was utterly imprac- ticable, anil thought that the means pointed out in ihe report, and the provisions of the former Acts, should have been embodied in ibe last; and therefore, under tils idea thai a new Art would be requisite, they re- quested Mr. Whitmore, the only Member of Parlia- ment then present, to communicate the substance of the Chairman's report to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as containing useful suggestions in case of any new provisions on the subject.

MACCLESFIELD CANAL.— An Act has passed both Houses of Parliament for making and main- taining a navigable canal from the Peak Forest Canal, in the township of Marple, to join the canal navigation from the Trent to the Mersey, at or near Harding Wood Lock, in the township of Talk, county of Stafford. This important undertaking will, by means of the Peak Forest, and Ash ton;, canals, be the shortest line of conveyance by twelve miles between Manchester and London, and al; parts of the South of England, and twenty- five miles nearer to the manufacturing district of York- shire. On Wednesday evening se'nnight, Mr. John Wyke, of the Hollies, near Puttingham, a farmer and dealer in cattle, was returning from Wellington fair, and had arrived beyond ShifFiial, when he w* as unfortu- nately thrown from his horse and killed upon the spot. He was a middle- aged man, and has left a widow and seven children to mourn his untimely Robert Burton, of Longner, S^ sq. is elected Presi- dent of the National School, in Ihis town, for the ensuing year; and the following Gentlemen are chosen of the Committee :— Rev.

At the General Quarter Sessions for the Town and Liberties of Shrewsbury, there was not one prisoner charged with felony for trial.— A boy charged with having committed an assault, was tried' and acquitted —-- No other case came before - the Jury.- Tbe iron Trade seemed in the earlier part of the present depression exempted from the surrounding gloom ; but it. has at length felt the influence ofthe contracted state of the money market. The demand has decreased very sensibly, perhaps a fourth, but the decrease has been unattended by any decided change in price, melting pigs duly having fallen 10s, per ton. This appearance, so contrary to anticipa- tion, is the result of two circumstances; viz. the decrease in the present make, and the former being an insufficient supply.— Birmingham Gazette. At the Cheshire Assizes, on Friday last,- John Grattan, aged 25, was found guilty of the'murder of John Milburne, on the llth of May 1824, by throw ing him into the Huddersfield Canal, whereby h; was drowned.— The principal evidence against the prisoner was the wife ofthe prisoner's brother, and her testimony went also to implicate her husband as a principal in the murder. On this point a question was raised as to the admissibility of her evidence, on which ground, and also in consequence of some circumstances that have transpired, and that tend to impeach her testimony, the execution of Grattan has. been respited. An Inquest was recently held at Bilston, on Har- riet Baugh, about 40 years of a< re, a person of weak intellects and subject to fits, who came from Little Wenlock poor- house, in Shropshire, and had been lying about the coke- hearths at Millfields, among which she was seen on Monday with her clothes ali on fire, and was so dreadfully burnt that she died on Monday in consequence, at Bilston workhouse. On Sunday last, a meditated escape from our County Gaol by some of the convicts was fortunately discovered and frustrated by the vigilance of an officer of the prison. On going his rounds, he observed in the convicts' room a bag suspiciously bulky, and on examination found it to contain a lad- der made of the shreds of blankets, artfully, but firmly twisted together; which, with some pieces of iron they had wrenched from a window to serve for grappling irons, formed the scaiing- apparatus intended for this daring adventure. One of the ringleaders ( a desperate character) was put in dou- ble irons.— Staffordshire Advertiser. rjjjlHE AURICULA & POLYANTHUS a.

Fine samples of wheat were in tolerabl- y brisk demand, at an advance of from Is. to 2s. per quarter from last Monday's quotations ; but inferior descriptions were very little inquired after, and prices remain nominally as last week. Fine Malting Barley sold freely at Monday's currency, the weather this morning being rather cold, and the supply of that quality short; but had it been warm, there is very little doubt but the Barley trade would have been depressed, as most of the principal Maltsters are on the eve of relinquishing malting for the season, and from this time till harvest. The market is principally governed by the fluctuation in the weather from hot to cold, leaving the supply for the most part out of the question. Oats are Is. per quarter lower, but at that abatement the sales were rather extensive: Beans are Is. and White and Grey Peas 2s. per quarter dearer.

Fullers, brothers, pawnbrokers, Digbeth, Birmingham, about fifteen years ago missed a large quantity of gold coin, amounting to £ 600 or £ 700, and after an inef- fectual search in every probable place of conceal- ment, concluded that the property had bean stolen. They have recently built themselves a new hous , and in taking down that which they formerly inha- bited, the lost treasure was discovered. DEATM BV A SPUING GUN.— We tire enry to » fate that John Gutiirie, of Coldstream, a young man about, 21 years of age, died there on Tuesday lastof a locked jaw, occasioned by the contents of our- of those machines called spring guus striking ons of his knees a fortnight before, while walking in an inclosure belonging to the Earl of Home. The young man's sufferings, which nothing but deatlir could alleviate, were ofthe most agonizing nature. FIRE.— On Wednesday afternoon, a large ham, stable, and part of the cow- sheds, recently erected ou tho estate of the Right Hon. the Earl of Essex, at Southwiek, near Tewkesbury, and in the occupa- tion of Mr. James Gorle, were consumed by fire. So rapid was the effect of the flames, that before ths engines could arrive from Tewkesbury, the whola was completely destroyed ; but fortunately thers was no property, except a little hay and straw, in the buildings at the time. It is supposed to ' navs been occasioned by the carelessness of a boy, who had been sent from the field to the cottage adjoin- ing, to procure a lighted stick and some straw, for the purpose of setting fire to soma weeds. The poor boy was so frightened, that he ran off immediately, and has not since been heard of. Tbe property was not insured. The anniversary meeting of the three choirs of Gloucester, Worcester, aud Hereford, will be held in Gloucester ou the 13th, 14th, and 15th of Sept. next. The Right Hon. Earl Howe has accepted the office of President of the ensuing Birmingham Musical Festival. The Bank of England have agreed to advance the sum of £ 300,000 to the manufacturing aud commer- cial interests of Birmingham, by way of loan on goods. Much inconvenience having he. en felt at Wolver- hampton from the want of a sufficient silver cur- rency, a communication was made upon tbe subject to Mr. Littleton, M. P. for the county, who applied to the Lords of the Treasury, and by whose direc- tion £ 3000 in silver coin was immediately seat down for circulation through tbe medium of tha officers of Excise: a further supply was promised if needed. The town of Leominster, the trade of which had been entirely suspended by the stoppage of their bank, experienced very unexpected and season- able relief through the means of a gentleman, brother- in- law of Mr. Bish, who, on hearing of thg calamity that had befallen tiie town, immediately set off from London with several thousand sove- reigns, and ou Friday week, market day, advanced indiscriminately to every inhabitant cf the town who applied to him, a temporary loan on a deposit of tbe I. eominster bank notes, without interest, to be repaid at their own convenience. This at oiica supplied the town with a circulating medium; aud tbe relief afforded was in many cases very essential, as the distress was great beyond conception. Mr, Bish, who was at Brighton when the news reached him, instantly set off, and arrived at Leominster with au additional sum ou the day following that of his brother- in- law's arrival, and having seen tha good effect of what bad been done, requested his brother to remain until Friday, to afford every ona an opportunity of availing themselves of the accom- modation offered. Mr. Bish also paid several ndred u'ovrtigns for the' uo'tes of other banks, which the holders wished to exchange for them. A man named Gombrell, an itinerant vender of coals and wood, Was killed on Saturday, ou ths upper road from Hampton to Sunbury. He made % bet of a pot of beer he would leap a hedge. He won his wager, but broke bis neck in the achievement. On Saturday week, Theodore Moore, convicted at the Stafford Summer Assizes of coining, suffered tha dreadful sentence of the law in front of the county LOL. At Gloucester Assizes John Oliffe, for stealing a mare, the property of W. Abe!!, of Winstone; also for stealing a mare pony, the property of W. Mills, jun. of Bisley ; and John Sparrow for stealing a sheep, the property of W. Friday, of Quedgeley, were left for execution. At Warwick, on Monday, Michael Ford, convicted ofthe murder of Mr. Perry, of Birmingham, waj executed in front of the county gaol, iu the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. EiTBiOiiBisjRV OCCDRRINCE.— 0; i Monday night last, it appears from bills circulated in varioua parts of the kingdom, a gentleman was robbed of a pocket book, containing eight F. xcbequer bills of £ 100 each, whilst sitting in the pit of Astley's Am- phitheatre, Westminster- Bridge, for the recovery of wiiich a reward of £ 50 has been offered. Ou Tueu.. day night last, a person came to the Angel Inn, Oxford, and went into- the coach- room, where he left an umbrella; he afterwards went into ths coffee- room, and took t a, and slept at the inn that night. Just before tbe house was locked up for tha night, the waiter went irttd the colfie- room, and found that a pair of silver teaspoons were missing. He saw the umbrella, but knew not to whom it belonged ; yet, thinking it might be a drawback on the loss of his master, he took it to him ; on opening it, several papers dropped therefrom, which, o. i examination, proved to be Exchequer hills to th ® amount of £ 800. These Mr. Gillett, the landlord, locked up in his bureau. Ia the morning, the per- son who slept there asked for his umbrella, which was given to liim. He opened it, ond immediately said, " 1 miss papers of great value." He described these papers, which were restored to him. Incon- sequence of a bill being exhibited in the window of Mr. Slatter, the bookselier, which was seen by Mr. Gillett's servant, the suspicions of Mr. Gillett wera excited, and he communicated them to Mr. Slatter, who, by enquiry, learnt that a person answering the description of the man with the umbrella had le;' t that city by the Maguet coach. Mr. Slatter instantly dispatched Lucas, a very active constable, in a post- chaise, to follow him, for the purpose of over- taking the coach, if possible ; but the coach having a start of three hour--, hs did not arrive until au hour after it had reached the Belle Sauvage; wheru he learnt that the man bad paid his fare aud abrupt- ly left the place. Mr. Gillett's waiter accompanied Lucas; and from the information given to th3 police, relative to the man who had tile bills in bis possession, there is but littla doubt he will ba apprehended. WORCESTER, APRIL 5 — We regret to stale that a severe accident lias befallen Colonel Duvies.

BRITISH EMPIRE. til ttis last Monthly Iteview, a periodical which lias much improved under its present management, is an article on the British Empire, which repoit assigns to the pen of the Rev. . Mr. Croly. It is a paper well worthy the talents nnd the principles of that gentleman. We extract from it the concluding paragraphs. The writer had been reviewing the state of our possessions all ever the world, and finishes with America : — " Turning to the norlh of this continent,, the foundations of a new empire are iaid in Canada. The region is to all actual purposes boundless. Stretching from Nova Scotia, in forty- four degrees north latitude, to the Pole, and from Newfoundland to the Pacific, through eighty degrees of longitude. If it be objected, that the Canada* are still a wi'der- ness, and visited with intense cold, it is fairly • oswered, that their whole extent seems capable of sustaining life, as is shown by the residence of the Indian tribes, and by the hunters of the Hudson's Bay and North- west Companies; that the most populous portion of Russia is twenty degrees to the north of the American line of Upper Canada; that Montreal lies in nearly the same parallel which cuts through the south of France, the Adriatic, and the Black Sea! And, above all, that the colonists who are now crowding to that country are Englishmen, — a race proverbially successful in all the tasks to be achieved by patient vigour, and fearless adven- ture. These men require only room; their native energies will do the rest. The forest will be cleared, the morass drained, the prairie will be a corn- field, the sandy hill will bear the vine; the huge lakes, those Mediterraneans of the New World, wiil be eovered with the products of the mineral and agri- cultural wealth of the country; coal has been already discovered in great abundance; iron and the various metals art already worked; the hills abound in every kind of limestone, from the roughest grained, up to the purest marble. The climate is singularly healthy. The higher latitude repels all the summer epidemics that ravage the United States. Even in the severity of winter, all that is injurious will pro- bably yield to the thinning ofthe forests, the dialli- ng ® " of the swamps, and the other labours of the accumulating population. The temperature of the European climates has gradually given way to the tame means. The north of France was, at the time of the Roman conquest, incapable of rearing the • vine The north of Germany was the habitual seat of - winter. The frosts and damps, more than the sword of Arminius, repelled the Roman soldier, seasoned as he - was, beyond all other men, to all vicissitudes of climate. But - whatever may be the dreams of England's supremacy in this quarter of the Klobe, in one thing she cannot be a dreamer,— In the lofty and cheering consciousness that she has laid the foundation of a great society, where before there was a wilderness. Whether Ihe Canadas shall retain their allegiance, or shake it off, there will be at least human beings where there was once solitude; law, where there - was once the license of savasre life; religion, where the Indian worshipped in brutish ignorance. England will have held the wand, that struck the - waters from the rock, and filled the desert w ith fertility and rejoicing. " The European politics of England are at once too diversified, and too familiarly known, to be detailed here. She is at this hour , the bond that keeps Europe in amity. The succession of the Emperor Nicholas has made i » necessary that she should ascertain the bearings of the Russian policy. She has sent the most distinguished General of Europe to explain her principles, and to receive the pledges of the Russian Cabinet. His progress through the Continent has been like a continued triumph, a train of honours paid to the great soldier himself, and through him to his country. The affairs ef Greece are probably among the objects of his H. ission; ar. d humanity and the generous feeling that binds itself with the glorious recollections of that most memorable of all lands, will equally rejoice in the extinction of the bloody and useless war that aow exhausts her. " But, as a poriion of foe power of England, the possession of the Seven Isles, and Malta, give her a Tight to a decided interference in all that disturbs the tranquillity of the Mediterranean. If great European changes are to take place, the first will probably occur in this quarter; and whenever Eng land shall be forced to the stern necessity of war, » h » will stand on a height from which ber thunder- bolt! will not bs Ituiishsd in vain, " We have not alluded to Ireland or Scotland as j separate dependencies, they are constantly assiini- j luting more closely to England, by the abolition of fiscal restrictions, by similarity of manners, and by identity of laws. The unhappy dissensions which throw Ireland back in . the general progress will gradually yield to melioration of law, of local government, and of personal feeling. 41 We are not among those prophets of evil who exhibit their sagacity in seeing the weds of ruin in the most palmy state Of national good fortune. All the leading commercial powers have fallen. But England sfandsina condition distinct from them all. All those States were exclusively commercial: they had no real foundation in the laud. Tyre, Carthage, Venice, Genoa, Holland, had no territory extensive enough to give them a national existence inde- pendently of the sea; they were strips of territory, inhabited hymen whose natural dwelling was- on ship- board; they had no population that could meet the attack ofthe military powers that pressed them by land ; their armour was in front, their backs were naked. All the maritime states were thus compelled to the perilous expedient of employing foreign mercenaries. The mercantile jealousy that uniformly refused the rights of citizenship to the neighbouring states, left the merchant naked in iiis day of danger. The French cavalry insulted the gates of Amsterdam at pleasure; the Austrian* seized Genoa aud besieged Venice, when an Austrian cock- boat dared not appear on the Adriatic. In older times, the mountaineers of Macedon tore down the defences of the Phenician cities, when their ships were masters of all from Syria to the Pillars of Hercules. Scipio found but a solitary force of mercenaries between the shore and the walls of Carthage. " From the catastrophe of those jealous, narrow, aud feeble states, what argument can be drawn to the fate ofthe generous, t e extensive, the power- ful, and, above all, the free! " The population of the British isles is worthy of a great dominion. It probably amounts to twenty millions; and that vast number is generally placed under such fortunate circumstances of rapid com- munication and easy concentration, as to be equal to perhaps half as many more in any other kingdom. This facility of intercourse is one of the great elements of civilised strength. The rapid returns of merchandize are not more indicative of prosper, ous trade than the rapid intercourse of human kind is essential to national vigour. For whatever pur- pose united strength can be demanded, it is for- warded to the spot at once. If England were threatened with invasion, a hundred thousand men could be conveyed to fhe defence of any of her coasts within four- and- twenty hours! " Some common yet curious calculations evince the singular facility and frequency of this inter- course. The mail coaches of England run over 1- 2,000 mil a in a single night, half the circum- ference of tbe globe! A newspaper published in the morning in Loudon is, by the same night, read a hundred and twenty miles off! The twopenny- post revenue of London is said to equal the whole post office revenue of France! The traveller going at night from London sleeps, on the second night, four hundred miles off! The length of canal navi- gation in tbe vicinage of London is computed to equal the whole canal navigation of France! " But the most important distinction between the materiel of British strength and that of the com- mercial republics, is not merely in the extent but in the diversity of its population. The land is not all a dock- yard, nor a manufactory, nor a barrack, nor a ploughed field; our national ship does not sweep on by a single sail. With a manufacturing popula- tion of three millions, we have a professional popu- lation, a naval population, and a most powerful, healthy,- and superabundant agricultural population, which supplies the drain of them all. Of this last and most essential class of permanent power, the famous commercial republics were wholly destitute, and they therefore fell. England has been an independent and ruling kingdom since the invasion in 1066, a period longer than the duration of the Homan empire from Ctesar, and equal to its whole duration from the consulate, the time of its emerging into national importance. " But if the moment of arriving at pre- eminent prosperity should always be the destined moment of a nation's descent, England would be, beyond all existing nations, in peril. Her king at this hour commands a population more numerous than that of any other sceptre on the globe ( excepting the pro. bably exaggerated, and the certainly ineffective multitudes of China). He is monarch over nearly one hundred and twenty millions of men. With him the old Spanish boast is true: " On his domi. nions the sun never sets." But the most illustrious attribute of this unexampled sway is, that its prin- ciple is benevolence! that knowledge goes forth with it, that tyranny sinks before it, that in its magnificent progress it abates the calamities of nature, that it plants the deseit, that it civilizes the savage, that it strikes off the fetters of the slave!" sion of offenders, may be recompensed at the discre- tion of the Court, without their claims to indetmiifica- tion in the separate character of prosecutors or wit- nesses being thereby defeated.— If men lose their lives in the course of such endeavours to promote tlie ends of public justice, their wives, children, or parents, as tiic' case may be, are entitled to adequate compensa- tion. It is difficult lo calculate the additional se- curity given by such a measure lo the administration of justice, if due care be exercised to prevent ils becoming a temptation to conspiracy against innocent men. Such are the principal clauses of this most important simplification of our Criminal Law, which embraces within sixteen pages mailer more effectual nnd valuable than was previously dispersed through several hundred; and substitutes one short and con- sistent Act of Parliament for about thirty bad ones which if repeal1!. ABDUCTION OF MISS TURNER. MR. PEEL'S BILL. Mr. Peers Bill for amending the administration- of the Criminal Law has been printed, aud now appears with tbe amendments made in it by tbe Committee. That tbe measure in question is calculated to promote the easier, more impartial, and more effectual admi- nistration of criminal justice, is very evident. The preamble asserts only the expediency of defining " under what circumstances persons may be admitted to bail in cases of felony, and of making better provi- sion for taking; examinations, informations, bailment ® , aud recognizances, and returning the same to the pioper tribunals.* The prevailing characteristics of the measure are science and consistency, in place of the grossest incongruity; and practical simplicity, where every thing before was confusion. The result is likely to be a more effectual- punishment of crimes, and of course a diminution of their frequency. One of the good purposes in the early part of the Bill, is to relax, in favour of substantia! justice, the technical pedantry of the proceedings and written instruments, whereby the guilty are. saved, and the defence of innocence is perhaps often almost as much clogged as assisted. Among the chief provisions of the measure are, that, where, in the opinion of one Justice, a, strong presumption of felony shall have been made out against a party, no bail shall be taken, but the party shall be committed to gaol. And where, in the opinion of Iwo Justices, a strong presumption of felony shall not have bc. cn raised, but still ground enough he established for a judicial inquiry into the case, the party may he bailed, under a clause, which amends tbe 1st aud 2d of Philip and Mary, c. 15, and the 2d and 3d of the same reign, c. 10, that before any two Justices she,!) bail, or any one Justice imprison, ail the examinations, informations, & c. shall be written down, certified, signed, the witnesses bound over, and the whole of the preliminary proceedings returned into Court at its opening. The same in cases of misdemeanor. Similar powers are given, and duties prescribed, to Coroners, as to Justices of the Peace; and both are subject to a discretionary fine by the Court, for failing to observe the above regulations. Felonies without benefit of Clergy, are ousted of that benefit under all circumstance* consequent on the indictment.— Clergyable felonies shall be punished in cases of confession, of malicious refusal to plead, of challenging peremptorily above 20 of the jury, as if a veidicl of guilty had passed.— Accessaries may be tried In any Court which has jurisdiction to try the principal, although the act whereby they became accessaries may have been committed beyond that jurisdiction. An accessary may be tried where the principal has been convicted, although he may not have been attainted; or may have been pardoned, or allowed his clergy. A large tribe of technical ab- surdities, by which justice had been materially ob strUcted, are swept away by the two last provisions. So, offences committed on the boundaries of two counties may be tried in either. Offences committed in a stage- coach, or ou board a vessel employed in inland navigation, may be tried in any county through which the coach or vessel . passed. The property of partners is better secured, by its being unnecessary to mention the name of more than one of the firm.— In trials for robberies of public property of any sort, the property may be laid in the inhabitants of counties, the overseers of the poor, the surveyors of highways or turnpike trustees, respectively, without specifying any individual names. No technical defects of indict ments shall be allowed to reverse a judgment once obtained. One most important amelioration of the law is, that prosecutors and witnesses shall be allowed their expenses in all cases of felony. So iu most cases of misdemeanor ; likewise iu prosecutions in the Court of Admiralty; aud what is of equal moment, all wh « have been active iu the pursuit aud apprqhen- J ' r [ From the Manchester Mercury, April 4 ] EXAMINATION OF MR. VVM. WAKEFIELD. SECOND DAY— MONDAY, APRIL 3. The examination re- commenced this day, at two o'clock, at the Ram Inn, Disley, in consequence of the Magistrates conceiving the testimony of Miss Dalby, of Liverpool, from whose school Miss Turner was carried off, to be necessary to make out the case against the prisoner. The only witness examined was Miss Dalby, who stated that she and her three sisters kept a boarding school, at Liverpool, and that Miss Turner was in their care on the 6th of March last; on which day, about eight o'clock in the morn ing, a letter was presented to her by a person who came with a carriage, and stated b jiii'se! f to he servant to Mr, T.; that he had come from Shrigley; that Mrs. T. had been taken ill, and wished to see her daughter. He then presented a letter, saying that it would detail the particulars. The letter stated that Mrs. T. was seized with a sudden attack of paralysis, and wished to see her daughter immediately. In consequence of this letter, Miss T. set out in the carriage, with the person who brought the letter, in about twenty minutes after it arrived, and witness did not hear any thing of her again till the 12th, of March, when she received a letter from Miss Margaret Turner, the cousin of Miss T. stating that Dr. Ainsworth had communicated to the family some very distressing intelligence respecting Miss Turner, and requesting to hear from her immediately. In consequence of this letter, the witness went over to Shrigley, where she learnt thai she bad been imposed upon, and that Miss Turner had beeu carried off by fraudulent means. Before thai time witness never knew any such ' person as Edward Gibbon Wakefield, or William Wakefield, and never * aw the prisoner before to her knowledge. Neither of those gentlemen had ever been at her house; and she did not think that either of them could have had an opportunity of seeing Miss Turner whilst she was under the care of witness and her sisters. This concluded the evidence. Mr. Manner, of London, declined asking Miss Dalby any questions, and begged to know what course the Magistrates intended to take. Mr. Grimsditch, who conducts the case for the prosecution, submitted that the evidence he bad laid before Thomas Legh, Esq. of Lyme, and G. W. Newton, Esq, the presiding Magistrates, fully made out the capital offence, and he, therefore, felt it his duty fo call upon them to commit the prisoner for trial. on that charge. Mr. Harmer contended that the offence amounted only to a misdemeanor, as Miss Turner was not heir apparent, but only heir presumptive of her father. Various- contingencies might arise for preventing her inheriting her father's property. That gentleman might have a son, and thos prevent her from succeed, ing to the inheritance. The case evidently amounted to no more than a misdemeanor, under the statute of Philip and Mary, which imposed a certain punishment .1 persons carrying away a young lady undtr sixteen years of age. ffe,. therefore, submitted that the prisoner was entitled to bail. Mr. Grimsditch said, the point' vrsns,- whether a person in the situation of M- iss Turner was or was not heir apparent within the meaning of the statute of Henry VI!. and he submitted that1 ^ he Magistrates ought not to take upon themselves the' responsibility of deciding it, especially iu a case like the present. But if they should be of opinion that the offence made out against the prisoner amounted only to a misdemeanor, still he contended that they ought not to admit him lo bail, and he quoted the statute respecting bail ( 3 Edward I. chap. 15), and Burn's Justice, to shew lhat for certain manifest and heinous offences, though not amounting to felony, Magistrates ought not to take bail. Mr. Harmer briefly . replied. The room was then cleared for a short time, in consultation, after which, they announced that they should commit the prisoner for the misdemeanor, but they must decline to admit him to bail. Mr. Harmer said that he should apply for a writ of Habeas Corpus, in order to have the prisoner brought up and bailed by one of the Judges. A warrant of commitment was then made out to Lancaster Castle. were walking together towards the shore, when out- people, conscious of what had been done, thronged round the King, and objected to' hiss going any fur- ther. His wife also joined her entreaties that he would not go on board the ships'. White he was hesitating, a man came running from t he other side of the. bay, entered the crowd almost breathless, and ex. claimed, 4 It is war!— the foreigners have commenced hostilities, have fired on a canoe from one of their boats, aud killed a Chief.* This enraged some of our people, and alarmed tbe Chiefs, as they feared Captain Cook would kill the King. The people armed them- selves with stones, clubs, and spears— Kanona en- treated her husband not to go. Ail the Chiefs did the same. The King sat down. The Captain seem- ed agitated, and was walking towards the boat, #> hcn one of our men attacked him with a spear; he, turned, and with his double- barrel gun shot the man who struek him. Some of our people then threw stones at him, which being seen by his men, they fired on us. Captain Cook then endeavoured to stop his men from firing, but could not, on account of the noise. He was turning again iu order to speak to us, rhen hp was Stabbed in the back with a pahoa; a pear was at the same time driven through his body; he fell into the water, and spoke no more. " After he was- deac, we, all wailed. His bones were separated— the flesh scraped off, and burnt, as was the practice in regard to our own Chiefs when they died.

The following Letter has been addressed to the Editor of an Evening Paper by E G. Wakefield, the principal in the abduction of Miss Turner :— Mciich26, 182f>. StR,— T have received several numbers of your Paper, containing various accounts and statements rpiprctiug me and the daughter of Mr. Turner, of Cheshire— all of them on one side— and n'l evidently proceeding from the same source. They cannot have received the sane tion of Mr. Turner* or of his daughter. I cannot believe that he would unnecessarily expose her to public comment, or lhat she would sanction the pub- lication of statements that are untrue. Your sense of justice will, 1 am confident, induce you to publish this letter. The true character © / the transaction, described by the Newspapers, is widely different from any account that has appeared. Many of lire Newspaper statements are as far from tenth as they could be, without being wholly untrue, and many of them are utterly false. It is obvious that, in my present situation, I esnnnt, nnd ought not, to enter into any detailed reply to the statements in question. It is a knowledge of this circumstance which has induced the publication of them. 3t is thought, that* man who was abroad, and who was threatened with a serious prosecution, might be. misrepresented and libelled with impunity. Besides, motives of delicacy in regard to Mr. Turner and his daughter, which may he easily appreciated, would induce me to forbear publish- ing any statements respecting them, without first sub- mitting such statements to their consideration. I did not leave England after my marriage from any motives of fear— hut solely in consequence of an engage- ment in Franco, of so serious a nature, that I thought uivself hound to kepp it at any personal sacrince. When IVir. Robert Turner and Mr. Critchley informed me at Calais, that Mrs. Turner was I shared their anxious wish that her daughter should be at once conducted home ; and 1 offered to return with them to England, if the lawyer, who accompanied them, would undertake that J. should be immediately admitted to bail. He declined giving me an assurance to that effect ; and I have, therefore, delayed my return to England iu order to avoid a long imprisonment before trial. So far, how- evcr, from wishing to escape any conse qnences of what 1 have done, I am ready, and most desirous, to give bail for my appearance ; and will do so the moment 1 am informed lhat it will be accepted. At all events, whenever any charge against me shall be ready for trial, I pledge myself to go lo England and meet it ; and should any application be made to my solicitors to accelerate the trial, I w ill instruct them to facilitate so desirable an object. I am as anxious to meet, as Mr. Turner can he to make, any charge that ' e may he advised to prefer against me. 3 ant, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, EDWARD GIBBON WAKEFIED rnons, was afterwards worshipped by the They called it, probably from its singular shape," Opaitaoarii, crab or shrimp, for a Chief to rest on ; from opai, a crab or shrimp; tan, to rest or sit ; and arii, a Chief. Many of the Chiefs frequently express the sorrow they feel whenever they think of the Captain; and even the common people usually speak of these facts with apparent regret ; yet they exonerate the King Taraiopon frorci all blame, as nothing was done by his orders. T was once in a house in Oa'hu with Karaw moku, and several other Chiefs, looking over'the plates in the folio edition of " Cook's Voyages." They were greatly affected wifh the print which repre- sented his de- ath, and inquired if I knew the names of those who were slain on that occasion. I perceived Karaimoku more than once wipe the tears from his eyes, while conversing about this melancholy event. He sajil, he recollected Captain Cook's visit, if not also his person, though he was at Maui at she time of his death More than once, when conversing with us on the length of time the missionaries had been in the Society islands, they have said, Why did you not come here sooner? Was it because we killed Captain Cook ? We hare sometimes asked them what inducement they had to steal the boat, when they possessed so many canoes of their own. They have generally answered, that they did not take it to transport lhem « selves from one island lo another, for their own canoes were more convenient, and they knew better how to manage tliem but because they saw it was not sewed together, but fastened with nails. These they wanted, and therefore stole the boat, and broke it to pieces the next day, in order to obtain the nails to make fish- hooks with. We have every reason to believe that this was the principal, if not the only motive, by which they were actuated in committing the depreda- tion which ultimately led to such unhappy eonse- quencf*. They pv; ze nails very highly ; and though we do not know that they ever went so far in their endeavours to obtain a more abundant supply, as the Society islanders did, who actually planted , them in the ground, hoping they would grow like potatoes, or auy other vegetable ; yet such is the value they still set on them, that the fishermen would rather receive a wrought nail, to make of it a fish- hook according to their own taste, than the best English. made fish hook we could give ihem. It has been supposed that the circumstance of Cap- tain Cook's hones being separated, and the flesh taken from them, was evidence of a savage and unrelenting barbarity ; but so far from Ihis, it was the result of the highest respect they could shew him. We may al* o mention here the reason for which the remains of Captain Cook received, as was the case, worship of a god. Among the kings who governed Hawaii during what may, in its chronology, be called the fabulous age, was Rono, or Orono ; who, on some account, became offended with his wife, and murdered her; but afterwards lamented the act so much, as to induce a state of mental derangement. In this slate he travelled through all the islands, boxing and wrestling with every one he met. He subsequently set sail in a singularly shaped canoe for Tahiti, or a foreign country. After his departure he was deified hy his countrymen, and annual games of boxing ami wrestling were instituted to his honour. As soon as Captain Cook arrived, it was supposed and reported, that the god Rono was returned ; hence tbe people prostrated themselves before him as he walked through the villages. But when, in the attack made upon him, they saw his blood running, and heard his groans, they said, " No, this is not Rono." Some, however, after his death, still supposed him to be Rono, and expected he would appear again. Some of his bone-*, his ribs, and breast- hone, were considered sacred, as part of Rono, and deposited in a heiau ( temple) dedicated to Rono, on the opposite side of the island. There religious , homage was paid to them, and from thence they were annually carried in procession to several other heiaus, or borne hy the priests round the island, to collect the offerings of the people, for the support of the worship of the god Rono. The bones were preserved i? j a small basket of wickcr^ wot k, completely covered over with red feathers; which in those days were considered to be the most valuable articles the natives possessed, as being sacred, and a necessary appendage to every idol, and almost every object of religious homage throughout the islands of the Pacific. They were supposed to add much to the power and in flu ence of the idol, or relic, to which they were attached. employed two journeymen to assist him, to whom he gave three guineas for each body that was obtained. He admitted that he had disinterred 45 bodies in the parishes of Walcot and Whitcombe, during his short residence in Bath, and acknowledged that he had been tried 28 times for the earae offence, but had never been convicted more than twice, in conse- quence of flaws in the indictments, or defects in tbe evidence; and he spoke with great confidence of his being able to get through the difficulty ia which he was then involved. The prisoner, in his defence, complatncd that the confession had been extorted from him. It was quite useless, he said, to deny that he was in the habit of sending- up subjects to the medical gentle- men of London, in Bath, a Mr. Norman, a respect- able anatomical lecturer, had promised him if any th ing unpleasant occurred, that he would take care he should be bailed. In consequence of that promise, when he was taken into custody, he communicated with Mr. Knight, a surgeon of Bath ( connected with Mr. Norman), and also one ofthe. High Constables, and was visited by that gentleman in prison. Mr. Knight expressed sorrow on finding him ill that situation, and advised him, when before the Magis- trates, to make a confession of his guilt, on which he would be sent to Shepton Mallet prison, as if to take his trial; but in point of fact, the matter would be hushed up, and he would ' again be liberated in a few days. He acted on that advice, and by so doing furnished tho only evidence there was against him ; he therefore put himself on the mercy of the Court, as it must be apparent he had been very ill used throughout the transaction. x He was found GUILTY. On being called up for judgment, he prayed the mercy of the Court. At an early period ofhis life he lost a good situation, and with it his character. He never could recover himself. Tempted by the high prices that Medical Gentlemen gave for sub- jects, he entered into their service, and had ever since been under their protection. lie would wil- lingly desert the practice, if he could get any other employment to support a wife and fire children. With all submission, he did venture to say, that the practice was not altogether a useless one, for when his M. jesty, God bless him, was affected with a wen, which it was necessary to cut out, he had the honour of procuring four subjects^' or a preliminary operation, two of which were for the exclusive use of Sir Astley Cooper. Under all the circum- stances of his case, he hoped his Lordship would be lenient in the punishment Jo be inflicted on him. Mr. Justice Burrough said that the argument the defendant had used, that he had lost his charac- ter, and therefore was compelled to persevere in crime, could not for a moment be admitted. His Lordship remembered that the same argument' was once used to him by a fellow who confessed to six teen capital felonies— the present case was some- thing analogous. This was a very distressing offence, it was contrary to all decency, and at variance with every good feeling a man ought to possess. CotSld any thing be more abhorrent fo fhe feelings of a father, than to find that the corpse of his favourite child had been disinterred to be made the sport of a young surgeon > It excited the most painful sensations, that any person should lose his friend in this horrible and brutal manner. So long as the Act of Parliament against this horri- ble offence existed, he would punish the crime when a case came before him. It was not for him to say whether or not it was necessary that Medical Gentlemen should be supplied with more bodies than were allowed by law ; but at present it was an offence to do so, and he woul always punish a crime so revolting to the feelings of humanity aad decency. The sentence ofthe Court was, that the defendant do pay a fine of £ 100 to the King, and be imprisoned for the space of twelve calendar months. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT AVD ROBBERY.. S. Gilbert was found guiliy nt the Taunton assizes, of robbing C. Smith; the conduct of the prisoner to. wards the prosecutrix surpassing in atrocity lhat of any person who hail ever appeared at the bar of justice.

She resisted, notwithstanding he threw her down, stamped upon her, and tore her ( lollies and all her under garments into strips; lie then took her in his arms, and carried her lo the river, when he forced her down and held her head under water till she was nearly drowned, threatening to throw her in if she would not comply wilh" his desires: she begged for mercy; he then dragged her into a lane, threw her over a gale, and cast her into a muddy ditch ; still he could not accomplish his purpose, owing lo her de- termined resistance. He knocked her down repeatedly, and s truck her about the head and eves us if be was lighting a man. She remained blind in consequence of his brutal blows for many days.

CAPTAIN COOK. Extract from the Rer. Jr. Ellis's Teur through Hawaii. There are a number of persons at Kaavaroa, and other places in the islands, who either were presen themselves at the unhappy dispute which in this vicinity terminated the valuable life of the celebrated Captain Cook, or who, from their connection with those who were on the spot, are well acquainted wilh the particulars of that mehineboly event. Wilh many uf them we have frequently conversed, and thou- th » ir narratives differ in a few smaller points, they all agree in the main facts, w ilh the account published by Captain King, bis successor. " The foreigner," Ihey say, " was not to blame for in the first inslance, our people stole his boat SOMERSET ASSIZES. TVilliam Clarke, alias William Tayler, was in- dicted for having four dead bodies in his dwelling- house, - which he, iu conjunction with Wm. Broderip and Joseph Madden, had removed from the church- yard of Walcot, in Bath. The case, as stated by Mr. Gunning, and after- wards proved in evidence, appeared to be this. The defendant William Clarke, in the month of October last, came from London, and took up his residence in Bath. A house was taken for him at No. I, Scrine's- placc, Ilat and Feather- yard, by Broderip and Madden, who passed as brothers, which com- manded a view of Waleot burial- ground, and enabled him to know what males or females were interred, so that he readily knew where to find sucli bodies, as he had previously bad an application for, from those he was in the habit of supplying in London and elsewhere. On the 14th or 15th of February last, A hamper was stopped ' on one of the BATH coaches, about to start for London, which was suspected to contain a human dead body, but, be- fore it was opened, the prisoner Clarke came up, and, having stated what was in the hamper, desired that the town might not be disturbed by an exposure of the practices which he admitted he had been ex- tensively occupied in for some months before. He was taken before the Magistrates, at the Town Hall, before whom he entered into a history of his life. He stated that he was the son of a London grave- digger, and was initiated iuto the business of a resurrection man," at the early age of six years, and since that time he had assisted in the procuring upwards of 2000 bodies for the anatomical uses of surgeons, as well in London as in the cquntry. In reference to the present charge, he made a frank confession ofthe whole, but complained that he had been ill- used by the surgeons, who had not extended to him that protection which they had promised him. On the information he gave his house was searched, and in the kitchen were found three hampers with this direction upon them, " Mr. Clarke, Company's Coach- office, Loncion ; to be left till called for." In each of these hampers there was a dead corpse, In a closet iu the same kitchen was discovered the body of a dead man, covered with straw. This was re- coguised to be the corpse of an old blind man, named Simou Matthews, who had been buried a few days previously. Following up the search, there was found, in a cellar, a tub containing human bones, in a state of preparation ( as the prisoner afterwards explained) for making a skeleton. In referring to his disgusting avocations generally, he said that he GLOUCESTER ASSIZES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-— Doc dent. Holmes, v.

ENGLISH INTLUENCE IN TRIPOLI.— The English name is of such importance in Tripoli, that there is scarcely a point to carry, or a dispute to settle, in which the Bashaw does not request the interference of the British Consul. But this is not all, the British flag has a peculiar power of protection, and the roof of the English Consul always affords a sanctuary to the perpetrator of any crime, not even excepting murder ; and scarcely a day passes that some persecuted Jew, or unhappy slave, to escape the bastinado, does not rush into the court- yard of the British Consulate for protection. A poor wretch, who, for some trifling offence, was sentenced to 500 bastinadoes, having contrived to slip from the custody ofhis guards, met with the child and servant of Dr. Dickson, a most respectable and intelligent English physician, practising in Tripoli. The con- demned wretch, with wonderful presence of mind, snatched up the child in his arms, and boldly halted before his pursuers. The talisman was sufficiently powertul, and the culprit walked on uninterrupted, triumphantly claiming the protection of the British flag,— Denhan't Discoveries in Africa.

Mr. Horton is a decided supporter of what is called the Catholic Emancipation ; he » et » out with recommending a measure, which ha thinks, would materially tend to the satisfactory- settlement of this question. But this measure can only proceed from the Roman Catholic body them- selves, for it is to be " A distinct explanatory- statement of the doctrines and opinions of the Roman Catholics of the present day, so far as such doctrines and opinions can be considered, by the most jealous Protestants, as calculated to affcct the exercise of their civil duties as subjects."

It is said that the spot 011 which he wa* employed was formerly the site of a nunnery or con- vent. One day, about the time already mentioned, shortly after be had returned from his dinner to his work, his spade came in contact wilh an old- fashionerl earthenware vessel covered wilh a flat stone or flag, 011 which a number of crosses and characters in cir- cles were engraved. He quietly spread his coat, which bad 110 pocket to it, 011 the ground, rolled th « contents of the vessel in it, put on his fellow la. bourer's coat, and proceeded home, under pretence that he wanted lo get his coat mended. Nothing could have been more fortunate for Eway than this, for had he excited suspicion, the probability is, that from tbe scuffle that would have ensued, his head would have wanted mending as well as his coat. The contents of the vessel were a number of ancient silver coins, of various reigns, in a good state of preserva- tion. We understand that his wife acknowledges shrt has 1,300 of these coins. A quantity of ihem hnva been disposed of to several individuals ill town. We have seen seventeen or eighteen which were purchased bv an amateur; they are of the reigns of Henry VIII. Elizabeth, James II. & c. ll in believed that gold rings and other valuable articles were found will* the coins. They were buried nt least ten or eleven feel below the surface of the ground.— Wtrford Herald. BAMKRC? T*,. APRIL 4.— John Strother Slrotter, of Shoreditch, cheesemonger.— Jus. Pike, W111.
