MONDAY.— The examination of witnesses on the Warwick Borough Bill was resumed at four, and lasted till live. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from 48,000 inhabi- tants of Glasgow and neighbourhood, praying a separation of Church and State, and redress of Dissenters'" grievances. His Lordship deprecated the attack made bv the Dissenters on the existence of the Church, and argued at some length to show, from the operation and the agency of secondary causes, after the original foundation ot Christianity was had recourse to. To secondary causes, then, it • was, of necessity, much indebted. No man who knew what the state of the Roman empire was at the period when Christianity dawned, could entertain for a moment the possibility of an Established Church existing without, at least, a continued miracle: This was the rational, as well as the orthodox— and he spoke in the hearing of those who understood the subject better than he did— and, he might add, philosophical view which the subject presented."— The Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY expressed his willingness to concede to the Dissenters all that they were legitimately and constitutionally entitled to ; but he would to the uttermost resist any effort on their part to prejudice the security of the Established Church.— The Earl ofHADDiNOTON said he was assured bya Gentleman well acquainted with Glasgow that a great number of names of parties had been signed without their knowledge, thatnames had been signed over and over again, that many were sham names, and that boys out of amusement had attached their signatures to it.— After a few words from the LORB CHANCELLOR and the Bishop of LONDON, the petition was laid on the table, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY.— The examination of witnesses on the Warwick Borough Bill commenced at four and lasted until six, when the general business commenced. The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented several petitions against the claims of the Dissenters. The Earl of ROSEBEP. Y moved the second reading of the Scotch En- tail Bills. The Earl of MANSFIELD moved, and theDuke of HAMILTON seconded, an amendment that the Bills be read a second time that day six months.— The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and Lord MELVILLE supported the second reading, on the under- standing that the Bills should be amended in a Committee. The Bills were accordingly read a second time. The examination o'f witnesses on the Warwick Borough Bill was then resumed, and lasted until ten o'clock, when the House adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— The House was occupied with the reception of petitions ( most of them for the better observance of the Sabbath), the forwarding of a few Bills in their stages, and the examination ot witnesses on the Warwick Borough Bill. THURSDAY.— Several petitions were presented upon various sub- Sects ; amongst others, for agricultural relief— for the better observance of the Sabbath— for the amendment of the Beer Act, and for the pro- tection of the Established Church. The Irish Chancery Bill went through a Committee, the report was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to- morrow. Lord WYNFORO moved the second reading of his Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath.— The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the Bill, and recommended that it be withdrawn.— The Bishop ot LON- DON also recommended the withdrawal of the Bill.— Lord WYNFORD said that, if it were read a second time, he did not intend to commit it until the Bills on the subject were brought up from the Commons, or otherwise disposed of.— A discussion followed, iu which Lord WYNFORD, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord PLUNKET, the Earls of WICKLOW and RADNOR, the Bishop of EXETER, < fcc., took part; after which the House, divided, when the question for the second reading was carried by a majority of three, the numbers being, for the motion, 16; against it, 13.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented petitions against the claims of Dissenteos. The Irish Court of Chancery Amendment Bill and Escheats and Forfeitures Bill were read a third time and passed. Proceedings were resumed on the Warwick Bill.— Before adjourn- ing the further proceedings to Thursday next, the LORD CHANCEL- LOR, proposed that Counsel should give the House some intimation of the evidence to be given by the witnesses, that the House might better comprehend the examination. Several petitions were presented, among which was one by the Marquis of DOWNSHIRE from the Clergy of Armagh, and other places of the north of Ireland, praying that the time for paying the interest an< l instalments on the loans granted to them by the Board of First Fruits for building glebe- houses be prolonged, owing to their being unable to collect their incomes. The LOKD CHANCELLOR laid on the tabletwo Bills to prevent non- residence and pluralities.— Lord BEXLEY, the Marquis of BUTE, and the Earl of RADNOR severally stated that they would not oppose the introduction of these Bills. After a few words from the Earl of RADNOBand Lord WYN FORB, they were read a first time.— Adjourned to Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— At the morning sitting Sir E. KNATCHBJJLL moved the seceud reading of the Christehurch ( Surrey) Bill.— Mr. HALL moved, and Major BEAUCLERK seconded, an amendment that the Bill be read a second time that day six months.— After some discus- sion tin? Bill wa* thrown out by a majority of 74 against. 33. At tfe£ evening sitting, in answer to a question from Mr. ROEBUCK, Lord AtTHORP said that it was the intention of Government to pro- secute the unstamped publications, upon a principle of fairness towards the publishers of periodicals conforming to the regulations of the Stamp Office. In reply to Mr. HEKRIES, Lord ALTHORP said that the proceedings in the Court of King* » Benchc o procure a mandamus to eompel the East India Company to transmit an orderto the Government of India to enforce from the Kiiig of Oude the payment of certain debt* con- tracted by hi, predecessors, were abandoned, but that he would not pledge himself as to anv future line of conduct to pursue the same • object.— Mr. HERBIEB replied that as that was the ease he should bring the matter before th* House. Lord Ai. THojif. in answer to Mr. BAINHS, said that he did not know when the Tithe Commutation Bill was again to be brought forward. The Bribery at Election Bill was recommitted. Lord ALTHORP said that he did not think the Bill for the repeal of law of jinj/ fuouurat for debt could be carried this Sewion. His Lordship said he did not know when the Local Courts Bill would be brought forward. The Central Criminal Court Bill was read a second time Ou moving the committal profor/ na of the Irish Tithe Commuta- tion Bill, Mr. LITTLETON observed that the Bill remained where it was, and the appropriation clauses were not changed. The Parish Vestries Bill was thrown out by a majority of 38 against 1, Colonel EVANS standing alone on the division, as the proposer of the measure.— Adjourned. TUESDAY.— At the morning sitting Sir GEORGE MURRAY took the oaths and his seat for Perthshire amidst loud cheering. At the evening sitting, Mr. PRYME withdrew his motion for leave to bring in a. Bill to abolish Grand Juries in England and Wales. Mr. O'CONNELL brought forward his motion—" That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the practice observed by the four Inns of Court in London, and also by the King's Inns, Dublin, upon the application of persons to be admitted students, and to be called to the Bar and also to inquire into Hie revenues of each Inn, and the application thereof."— Mr. ROEBUCK seconded the motion.— Sir JAMES SCARLETT opposed the motion, because it sought to do by indirect means what ought to be done in plain and direct proceeding. — Lord ALTHORT opposed the motion, on the ground that it would be better to found a measure of reform on the Report of the Law Commissioners rather than have recourse to a Select Committee.— Many other Members addressed the House, and the case of Mr. D. W. HARVEY having come incidentally into the discussion, that gentleman addressed the House at great length. After which Mr, O'CONNELL amended his motion, to the eflect " That a Select Com- mittee be appointed to examine into the case of D. W. Harvey, Esq., and report thereon to the House."— The motion, as amended, was agreed to, and the Select Committee appointed.— Sir JAMES SCARLETT then moved that there be laid before the Select Committee the documents relating to the case of Mr. D. W. Harvey which had previously been laid before the Benchers of the Middle Temple. Mr. LENNARD obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of two Acts of 7th and 8th George IV., c. 29, sect. 6, and 9th George IV., c. 65, sect. 6, as is contained in the following words:— And bi- it enacted, that if any person shall rob any other person of any chattle, money, or valuable security, every such ufl'ender, being convicted thereof, shall suffer death as a felon." Mr. LITTLETON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to extend the jurisdiction aud regulate the proceedings of the Civil Bill Courts, and to facilitate the proving of wills and obtaining letters of administra- tion in certain cases, in Ireland. Mr. POULTER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better observance of the Lord's- day. Mr. BROUGHAM obtained leave to bring in two Bills, one for enabling Dissenters to celebrate marriages in their own places of worship, under certain regulations ; and the other for the establish- ment of a parochial registry in England and Wales.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— The London arnf Southampton Railway Bill was read a third time aud passed.— The remainder of the early sitting was occupied with the presentation of petitions. At the evening sitting, in reply to a question, Lord ALTHORP said that he could not mention what day would be appropriated lor the further consideration of the Irish ' lithe Commutation Bill. On the order of the day being read for going into a Committee on the Poor Laws Amendment Bill, Air. GODSON, moved, and Colonel WOOD seconded, a Resolution—" That it be an instruction to the Committee to separate that Bill into two or more Bills ;" but after some conversation the amendment was withdrawn.— Mr. ROBINSON then moved an amendment, which consisted of a string of resolutions, setting forth the deplorable condition of the poor, and the necessity of applying some remedy to the evil, and pledging the House to con- sider measures of redress. The Hon. Member entered into various arguments to prove the objectionable nature of different enactments of the Bill, beginning with that which went to constitute a Central Board. He regretted the introduction of this measure, because it showed that the country was to he reduced to a state of legalised, systematic, and permanent pauperism. He would not then go into the detail of the Bill, but he would venture to say that a more extra- ordinary and unconstitutional measure was never introduced into that House. After a comprehensive view of the state of the poor in this country, he maintained that their demoralisation was not the result of the poor laws, but of misery. He strongly inculcated the necessity of delay, to give time for the due consideration of that important question.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the resolutions, and resisted the call for delay, on the ground that the House by agreeing to the second reading, had decided that the question ought to be proceeded with.— Mr. ROBINSON'S resolutions were negatived by 135 to 11.— The House then went into Com- mittee on the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pre- faced the proceedings by declaring that some alterations were intended. It was proposed that the Commissioners should only have immunities against actions for what they did as Commis- sioners ; that the orders of the Board, after remaining 40 days, and receiving the sanction of Government, should be laid on the table of the House, so that an address to rev oke any one of them might be immediately brought forward. As to the regulation for refusing out- door relief, it was intended that the Commissioners should have power to suspend itunder certain circumstances, and on the represen- tation of the guardians.— The first question was as to the number of Commissioners to be appointed. This led to a discussion on the policy of appointing a Central Board, vested with such extraordinary powers, in the course of which several amendments were proposed and withdrawn. The direct question for adopting the clause led to a prolonged debate ; after which an adjournment was proposed, whicfi was lost by a majority of 312 to 17. The first clause was then agreed to without a division. The Capital Punishments' Bill was read a second time. After a long discussion, which terminated in a division in favour of the measure of 60 to 37, the Religious Assemblies Bill was com- mitted, and its several clauses agreed to. The Report to be received on Wednesday next. Mr. W. BROUGHAM brought in the General Registration Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday, the 27th inst.— Adj. THURSDAY.— The morning sitting was occupied, as usual, chiefly with the presentation of petitions.— Mr. POLLOCK gave notice that, after the reefcsss, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to abo- lish imprisonment for debt in all cases, except where there were bills or bonds making the debts payable on a certain day, adding that he Sroposed to make the measure applicable to all debts contracted after anunry 1, 1835. At the evening sitting, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that if he should be obliged to postpone the Poor Laws Amendment Bill that evening, he would move that the further proceeding on it should be resumed on Wednesday next. Mr. LLOYD moved for leave to " bring in a Bill to mitigate the pun- ishment of arson in cases where human life was not endangered.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER concurred in the principle of the Bill, and, therefore would not object to its being brought in.— Mr. HILL thought the diminution of punishment would be attended with good effect.— Leave was given. Mr. TENNYSON then brought forward his motion for shortening the duration of Parliaments, and entered into a history of the Triennial and Septennial Acts, in support of his argument for the repeal of the latter. In reply to the assertion that the Reform Act had ren- dered such a measure unnecessary, he quoted the opinion of Lord ( then Mr.) Grey, 1797, who insisted that to shorten the duration of Parliament was a necessary ingredient in all reform. Finally, the Right Hon. Gentleman moved Tor leave to brine in the Bill.— Sir E. CODRINGTON seconded the motion, but said he should prefer a dura- tion of five to one of three years.— Colonel DAVIES opposed the mo- tion as premature, inexpedient, and calculated to subvert the inde- pendence of Parliament.— Lord DALMEN Y opposed it also. The very circumstance of their having passed the Reform Bill would preclude him from sanctioning the motion.— Mr. EWART supported the mo- tion.— Mr. STANLEY opposed it, chiefly on the ground that the shortening of the duration of Parliament would render Members too dependent on their constituents, too subservient to the politics of the hustings.— After a protracted discussion the House divided. Far the motion. 185; against it 235. Mr. HALCOMB moved for a Select Committee upon the state of the harbours of Kent and Sussex. On a divison there were 83 against the motion, and not one vote for it. Mr. MAXWELL brought forward his motion calling " the attention of the House to the distressed condition of the hand- loom weavers." After a brief discussion the debate was adjourned to Thursday next Adj. FRIDAY.— The business at the early? sitting was confined to the presentation of petitions. . I At the evening sitting the Warwick Witnesses' Indemnity Bill was rf » ul a third time and passed. In reply to question* from Sir R. VYVI'A. N, Lord FALMERSIO. N said that a Treaty relative to the affairs of the Peninsula had been entered into and duly signed by the Plenipotentiaries of England, France, the Queen Regent of Swim, and Don Pedro; that the three former had duly ratified it; ana that the ratification of Don Pedro had only been delayed by reason of the forms attending such matters at that Court, but the act of ratification had been officially announced to him, and he hoped the next vessel would bring the official document. Sir E. KN ATCHBULL moved the second reading of the Sale of Beer Amendment Bill.— Mr. F. PALMER, and Mr. WARBURTON, moved and seconded an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months.— On a division there appeared— For the second reading, 157; against it, 27 ; majority, 130. Lord SANDON put some questions to the Secretary for Foreign. Affairs as to whether any negotiation was in progress for a commer- cial Treaty with the Transatlantic States, and whether the Noble Lord knew that the slave trade was still carried on at Buenos Ayres and Mounte Video.— Lord PALMERSTON said that a negotiation " was going on for a Commercial Treaty, and he was sorry to say that the slave trade was carried on at the places alluded to, to the disgrace of those Governments. Mr. LYNCH brought forward his motion for a Committee to inquire into the state of the judicial proceedings in the Court of Chancery in England, and in the midst ot his speech the House was counted out at Seven o'clock.

Lieut.- Colonel George Home Murray, C. B., and Brigadier- General on the station there. Colonel Murray was in command of the dis tinguished Regiment the 16th, or Queen's Lancers, in which he had served upwards of thirty years. He served with it throughout the Peninsular war witji distinguished credit, and with the declared high approbation of the eminent leaders under whom he acted. At the memorable battle of Waterloo Colonel Murray commanded the Regiment early in the day of the 18th June, 1815, upon Colonel James Hay being desperately wounded. As an officer no man was ever more highly valued for ability and gallantry, and as a friend none more esteemed and lamented. On Tuesday last, Major- Gen. Sir C. Dalbiac inspected the Ist Royal Dragoons, on the Downs, at Brighton. The troops went through various evolutions with great precision, and the General expressed his approbation of the military appearance and discipline of the officers and men. BILL TO AMEND THE LAWS RELATING TO PAYING THE NAVY.— By the first clause, the power to draw bills periodically for their pay is to be extended to Mates, Midshipmen, and Masters' Assistants, though they have not passed their examination; Volunteers of the first class, " Engineers and Assistant Engineers belonging to steam- vessels, under regulations to be prescribed by the Lords of the Admi- ralty, it being provided that those who have made allotments, or are entitled to receive monthly pay, shall not have the privilege. By the second clause, Captains," Lieutenants, and Masters commanding ships, Surgeons, and others, who are only entitled to draw for three- fourths of their pay, will be enabled to draw for their net personal pay. The third clause extends the privilege of receiving two months' wages in advance to Boatswains, Gunners, Carpenters, Second M as- ters, cfec. The fourth clause extends the power of making allot- ments to brothers, sisters, grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers- in- law, children of eighteen years of age, and to trustees for the use of children. By the seventh clause, the remittance of wages is ex- tended. A revision of the dress of the Officers of the Army is a'lout to take place. By the new regulation there will be a considerable sav- ing oi expense, without materially affecting the costly appearance of the regimentals. Lace, which has nearly the same effect as embroi- dery, but is by no m « ans so expensive, will be generally substituted. The regulation will be issued m the course of next month.— A'aval and Military Gazette. IT is generally understood that the Second Lieutenant- Colonels of all the King's Regiments in India will shortly be reduced.— Ibid. PORTSMOUTH, May 16th.— The Tyne, 28, Capt. Lord Vis. Ingestre, went out of harbour yesterday, fitted for the Mediterranean station ; the Revenge, 78, Capt. W. Elliott, C. B., will go out on the 30t, h, for Lisbon; the President, 52, Capt. McKerlie, on the 20th, for Halifax and the West Indies ; the Orestes, 18, Com. Sir W. Dickson, Bart., will be paid off into Ordinary to- morrow. Rear Adm. the Hon. Sir T. B. Capel, K. C. B., will succeed to the East India command; and Rear- Adm. P. Campbell, C. B., to the command at the Cape aud Coasts of Africa, on the ensuing vacancies. It is said the former will hoist his flag in the Thalia, and the latter in the Winchester. DEVONPORT, May 15.— The Impregnable, 104, was undocked on the 9th, and is bringing forward for commission with all possible dispatch. Pallas, 42, Capt. W. Walpole, was paid off on the 14th, and was laid up in Ordinary. The Capt. presented three of the seamen with a silver medal and a gratuity, granted by the Admiralty to those sea- men, who shall, during a' servitude ot 21 years, have maintained a good character. We learn, by letters from Port Praya, ( Cape de Verde), dated Feb. 21st, that H. M.' s sur. vessel the JEtna, Com. Arlett, ( act.), aud her- tender the Raven, re- commenced their survey of the river Cacheo, ( after the lamented violent death of Com. Sky'ring,) into which they proceeded upwards of 100 miles, with a depth ol from ten to twelve fathoms the whole way. The epidemical fever of that clime then made its appearance generally among the crews of both vessels; and after the . Etna had lost Mr. Thomas, Midshipman, and nine men,, and the Raven three men, both vessels were obliged to leave the river, and proceed to Port Praya, to recruit the health of the remaining crews. With this calamity, occurred the accidental death of Lieut.. Arindell, the Assistant- Surveyor, who, about 11 A. M. on Jan. 6, un- fortunately fell overboard from the gangway, and soon disappeared, though his cries being heard, a boat was instantly lowered, and the most prompt assistance was rendered. Adm. Sir T. Williams, G. C. B., Com.- in- Chief at Portsmouth,, struck his flag on the 4th inst., and proceeded on leave of absence; tile duties of the port have consequently devolved on the second in command, Itear- Adm. Sir F. L. Maitland, K. C. B., Adm. Superin- tendent of the Dock- yard. THK MONUMENT.— A scaffolding has been erected from the gal- lery of the Monument to the top of the urn of fire, and workmen are now employed in cleaning and repairing it, preparatory to its being re- gilt. The construction of the scaffolding is very ingenious, and the courage and skill displayed by those who had the raising of it excited the astonishment of every beholder. May 18. JOHN BULL 155 EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE AND EXTORTION. An application for advice and assistance was made on Monday at lambeth- street Office by Mr. Gee, a solicitor residing at Bishop's Stortford, under the following most extraordinary circumstances:— Mr. Gee stated that he was solicitor to the executors of a widow lady, named Canning, to invest about 20001. in profitable and avail- able security, and of this sum 12001. had been invested, and the remaining 8001. was at his disposal. Some days since, he received a letter by post, signed " W. Heath," in which the writer expressed a wish to be informed when he ( Mr. G.) would be in town, as he • wished to consult him professionally and personally on the subject of some property which was to be disposed of in the vicinity of Bishop's Stortford. He ( Mr. Gee) wrote in reply that he would be in town on Monday, at ten o'clock, and that if the writer of the letter would be. in the coffee- room of the Bull Inn, Aldgate, at that hour, he - would give him the desired interview. On arriving at the Bull Inn he found a young man, who, after inquiring from him if his name was Gee, and being answered in the affirmative, handed him a letter, the contents of which were to the effect that he ( VV. Heath) was indisposed, and requesting Mr. Gee to go to him in York- street, West, Commercial- road. Mr. Gee went as directed, and on his arrival there he was asked to step down into the kitchen, as Mr. Heath • was at breakfast there: he did so, and was immediately seized upon by three persons and dragged into a den or privy, and effectually secured by having a chain placed across his breast, and his feet tied to the floor. Mr. Gee went on to state, that whilst in that situation they compelled him, by threats, and from the apprehension that he " Would be murdered, to give them a cheque upon his banker at Walden for the 8001., and an order for the delivery of the deeds of the property invested: that after being in the situation above described for about three hours, he contrived to release himself, and rushing out of the back door and clambering over some garden walls, he reached the public road.— Mr. Gee, in reply to the Magistrates, stated that he bad taken precautions to stop the payment of the cheque. The Magistrate immediately despatched two officers with Mr. Gee to York- street, who upon examining the house found it empty, and on proceeding to the kitchen discovered the place in which Mr. Gee had been confined to be a portion of it strongly boarded off on pur- pose, and surrounded by an immense quantity of earth, taken from the garden, no doubt for the purpose of preventing his cries for as- sistance being heard. The parties had taken possession of the house on Saturday, and must have been employed the whole of Sunday in its construction. It is a singular thing that Mr. Gee had about hiin at the time 901. in gold ana notes, besides a gold watch, nothing of which was touched by the robbers. On Tuesday John alius Thomas Edwards, alias VV. Heath, who is stone blind, Peter Leccasser, Jeremiah VVeedon, and Mary Leccas- ser, were charged with being concerned in the above extraordinary outrage. Shelswell, an officer, stated, that about eight o'clock on the even- ing before, he saw Edwards, who was accompanied by a little girl, proceeding in a direct line to York- street. His suspicions being ex- cited bo his conduct, he went up to him and stoppetl him. On doing so he asked him if he knew a person named Gee ? The prisoner Ed- wards, after some hesitation, replied that he did. He then asked him if he had seen Mr. Gee on that day ? The prisoner smiled and said, " I'll tell you the truth— I have been with Mr. Gee, but have not seen him, for a good reason, that I am blind." He ( Shelswell) then took him back to the house in York- street, where he was iden- tified by the persons residing next door as having been seen going in and out of the house since Saturday. On their way from York- street lie asked the prisoner who the persons were who were concerned with him in the transaction, and if he would give him their names ? The prisoner replied that he certainly would not, as he should be sorry if they were taken ; adding, that he was the person who had planned the whole affair; that the other persons were only em- ployed by him, and knew nothing of what the place they assisted in fitting up was for, and he was the only person that ought to suffer, if any one did. The prisoner further stated to him ( Shels- well) that all legal means had been tried for six years past to get the money, and as they conld not get it in that way, he was determined to see what he conld do by mam force. He also acknowledged that he had sent the letter and acoach for Mr. Gee, for the purpose of getting him down to the house, and asked if it was not an excellent plan of his to accomplish his object. He ( Shelswell) asked liim what was meant by putting earth about the cell or building, and if it was not to prevent any person in it from being heard ? The prisoner re- plied that it was ; that he did not mean that Mr. Gee should be heard ; and the only thing that puzzled him was, how Mr. Gee could have made his escape. Mary Leccasser was apprehended from having called at the honse in York- street, and she stated to the Magistrates that her son Peter was a shoemaker, but being out of work he had at Edwards's request gone to do a job ( build a shed), and she having heard that lie was taken into custody, went to ascertain if it was so. Peter corrobo- rated this statement: he assisted to build the shed, but did not know for what purpose until Monday. Weedon is a smith, and was em- ployed by Edwards to assist ill building the shed, and he also did not know for what purpose it was erected till Monday, when Edwards told him and Leccasser that Mr. Gee had a sum of " money which he was determined to get, and keep him there till he obtained it.— Weedon admitted that he assisted in chaining Mr. Gee. Another circumstance of a very singular nature adds to the many extraordinary incidents in this case. The Rev Dr. Matthias, Rector of Whitechapel, who was on the bench, recognized the prisoner Edwards as having been married three weeks ago to a person who went by the name of Elizabeth Jenkins. Mrs." Weedon, sister to Edwards, did not know a person of the name of Jenkins, but under- stood that her brother was shortly to be married to one Mary Can- ning, who resided near Hackney, and had three children; and Lea, the officer, who had had an interview with Mrs. Canning, stated that Mrs. Weedon's description of the person her brother was about to marry precisely answered to that individual. In this interview Mrs. Canning admitted that she knew Edwards, that lie had been there the night before, and had told her he had confined Gee, and had got from him a cheque for 8001., but without her consent. The prison- ers were all remanded till Mr. Gee could attend. On Wednesday, Mr. Gee being in attendance, the prisoners were again put to the bar. Edwards declined answering a question put to him by the Magistrate as to who the carpenter was that he employed to erect the place: " he did not come there to answer questions, nor would he."— Mrs. Canning was present and acknow- ledged receiving two letters from Edwards, one addressed to Mr. Taylor, agent of the Saffron Walden Bank, and the other inclosing Mr. Gee's cheque for 8001. She said slie had known the prisoner Edwards for the last year and a half, not very intimately, and most certainly was not married to him. She was then shewn the parish register, and asked if the signature of " Maria West," who repre- sented herself as a widow, was her hand- writing, which she positively denied. The Rev. Dr. Matthias, who was on the Bench, was then sworn, and deposed that on the 2" th of April last he married the witness, who represented herself as a widow, said her name was Maria West, and signed the registry now produced in that name. The witness still persisted in denying the fact, but she would not take it ou herself to swear distinctly one way or the other.— Mr. Matthias said there could be no mistake at all in the matter, as there was the sister of the prisoner present, who was present at the ceremony, and one of the subscribing witnesses. This person was called forward, but she refused being sworn. In reply to the questions of Mr. Matthias, she, after some hesitation, admitted that the witness was the person who was married, and had signed her name as Maria West, thoifgh her real name was Canning.— Mr. Matthias explained how the mistake occurred on the preceding day ( by his saying Heath was married to a person named Jennings), and which was owing to the present entry being in anew book, and that of a person named Heath with Jennings being the last entry in the old.— The coinci- dence of a person of tli3 name which the prisoner Edwards had assumed having got married about the same time, and at the same • church, was a little curious.— The witness, Mrs. Canning, appeared • dreadfully annoyed and agitated at the unpleasant expose. She still persisted in saving she was not the wife of the prisoner, and expressed much'indignation at being questioned on the subject. She did not see what her marriage had to do with the subject matter in question. She had come there for a different purpose, and by the admission of the fact sought to be elicited from her would lose her dear children. She ultimately fainted, and was obliged to be carried away.— Mr. Gee, on referring to a copy of her late husband's will, found that she only possessed a life- interest in the property, and that only while she remained a widow.— The prisoners were" remanded till Tuesday, when they will be finally committed for trial. Ou Sunday last Mr. Gibbins, for a great number of years principal tirstaff of the King's Bench, was thrown out of a chaise in which he was riding with Mr. Shelton, and so severely injured that he died on Thursday evening from the eilects of the fall. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The French papers of Wednesday state that the intelligence from Germany was considered to be of a rather unsatisfactory kind. It would appear that the events of Lyons and Paris, and theproceedings adopted by the French Government in respect of the factions else- where throughout. France, together with the late tumults at Frank- fort, had induced the Congress of Vienna to resume its sittings, with a view to take cognisance of what was passing within and without the Germanic States. It was further rumoured that the iirmies of the Germanic Confederation were to be increased forthwith. The domestic news to be found in these papers is of the character of that which has reached us daily from Paris duritig the- last month. Arrests continue to be frequent," particularly of newspaper editors. Domiciliary visits, and all the irritating and exasperating workings of an immense police and espionnaife system supply innumerable paragraphs to the Press, and extend naturally the spirit of hostility to the Government which had been already sufficiently rancorous. The 6th Regiment of Light Infantry has been visited by the dis- pleasure of the Minister of War— sqme of the Sub- officers of that corps having been detected in copying and disseminating a song, which, in its chorus, says " but on the people never, no, never fire." The National Guard of'Poussen ( Heranlt) have been dissolved, and several additional refusals of Municipal Councils to vote money for the troops wounded in Lyons and Paris are announced. On Tuesday the House of Deputies voted 21,000,00 if. for increasing the " army to 360,000 men in 1834, and during the first six months 1835. The Duchess de Berry arrived at Prague on the 1st inst. By advices from Madrid of the 7tli inst., the recal of the Spanish Ministers at the three Northern Courts is confirmed. The Spanish army under Rodil, whose head- quarters are stated to con- tinue at Goribea, is represented to be making scarcely any progress in Portugal, owing to the general hostility of the country. The Debate affirms that the ratification of the Quadruple Treaty of Alliance has arrived from Madrid, and been forwarded to London, where the ratification of the Lisbon Usurper is daily expected The Constitutionnel announces that a diplomatic agent has left Paris for London, with powers to negotiate a joint loan for Don Miguel and Don Carlos, a loan of which a great Paris firm has taken a considerable share. By the Bayonne Prints of the 10th the Carlist insurgents are said to have attacked Saureguy at Tolosa. OLD BAILEYT" FRIDAY.— John Arscott, a person of respectable and gentlemanly demeanour, was indicted for uttering a forged receipt for 1841. 3s." with intent to defraud Francis Gosling and others. There were a great number of counts in the indictment, varying the description of the offence. Mr. Bodkin ( who conducted the case for the prosecution) stated the facts of the case as they afterwards appeared in evidence.— It appeared that the prisoner filled the situation of house- steward to the Marquess of Bristol, and in that capacity he was in the habit of arranging the pecuniary affairs of his Lordship's household.' It ap- peared that the Noble Marquess was, aboutthe 13tli March, at Bury, in Suffolk, and it was the prisoner's duty to send the amount of tie tradesmen's bills to his Lordship, who. immediately sent a cheque back upon his bankers, directing them to pay the different amount of the bills to the order of the parties they belonged to. It appeared that about the 13th March the prisoner sent a list to the Marquess, con- taining the amount of several tradesmen's bills that had been sent in, and among others one from a Mr. Hickman, a tailor, at Putney, for liveries furnished to the servants to the amonnt of 1841. 9s. The Marquess immediately sent a cheque for that amount to his bankers, Messrs. Gosling and Co., and the prisoner shortly afterwards pre- sented the cheque with what appeared to be the endorsement of Mr, Hickman upon t> ie back of it. The clerk paid the amount to the prisoner, who signed his name, and added, " received for J. Hick- man " He received part of the money in bank- notes, and the rest in gold and silver. It was afterwards proved that the endorsement on the back of the cheque was not in Mr. Hickman's hand- writing. Mr. Adolphus, for the prisoner, attempted, in the course of his cross examination, to prove that the document in question was merely a receipt, and that no forgery had been committed by the prisoner. The Marquess of Bristol", who was on the bench, being sworn, stated that the prisoner was in his service last year, but had been discharged by him towards the latter end of the year, although he was afterwards casually employed by him. His Lordship then pro- ceeded to detail the particulars of the application made to him by the prisoner for the amount of the tradesmen's bills for the year, and the manner in which he sent the cheques for the payment of them. Mr. Adolphus, at the close of the case for tKe prosecution, pro- ceeded to urge a legal objection to the form of the indictment, con- tending that the money had not been paid to the endorsement of Hickman, hut to the receipt of the prisoner himself, and that there- fore no forgery had been committed. The point was argued at considerable length by the Learned Judges on the bench, Mr. Justice Vaughan, Mr. Baron Bolland, and Mr. Justice Littledale; and ultimately the Learned Judges decided that upon the indictment, as at present, framed, there did not appear suf- ficient evidence to convict the prisoner, and the Jury accordingly found the prisoner Not Guilty. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.— The funds of the union are at a very low ebb, and at many of the lodges no portion of the promised allowance for last week has been paid. The men are required to be in attend- ance four times a day at the lodge public- house, and all they can get is an occasional ticket for sixpence, which the landlord consents to accept on the guarantee of the committee as cash, and furnishes beer and bread and cheese for the same. Of course this mode of pay- ment, while it induces sottishness on the part of the men, affords not the slightest relief to their families. There are about 450 different trades carried on in London. The shoemakers are the most numerous class, and the tailors next; the former, above twenty years of age, amounting to 16,502, and the latter to 14,552. The'carpenters amount to 13,208, and if the cabinet makers are included, to 19,629. The bakers, butchers, bricklayers, and blacksmiths come next, but they average little more than a third of those trades. Two PERSONS KILLED BY LIGHTNING.— It is onr painful duty to record a most distressing circumstance which occurred in the neigh- bourhood of Kidderminster yesterday evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, during an awful thunder- storm. A party of six persons had been out shooting near Stone, and when the storm came on, they took shelter under a large oak tree. They had not been long there when there was an uncommonly vivid flash of lightning— the electric fluid struck the tree, and, lamentable to relate, two of the persons under it werakilled on the spot, and others much injured.— PVor- cester Journal. Mr. PARKER'S motion for an inquiry into the claims of certain British subjects on confiscated Danish property was withdrawn, as Lord ALTHORP promised that the claims should be taken into consi- deration by the Government. TRADE.— The reports of the present state of trade in Birmingham are very gloomy ; this is attributable to several causes— the general depression of the agricultural interest; the embarrassed state of America, occasioned by President Jackson's bank proceedings; and the scarcity of money amongst the tradesmen here, arising in many cases from the circumstance of its having been too freely invested in the various speculative projects with which this town and neighbour- hood abound.— Birmingham Advertiser. At the Old Bailey, on Friday, Win. Childs was found guilty on a charge of having administered'a certain drag to Mary Jane Wolfe, who was enceinte by the prisoner, for the purpose of producing abor- tion. The prosecutor, a girl of about seventeen, is the daughter of the keeper of an inn at Hammersmith, and the prisoner was ostler at her father's house. NORFOLK AGRICULTURAL REPORT.— Cold and ungenial as was the weather nearly throughout the whole of April, the earth, not having been chilled by wet, yielded readily to the return of warm rains, and never perhaps did a few days produce such an astonishing change in the whole face of the country. Hedges and trees burst at, once into leaf. The spring corn, which till then had slum- bered from want of moisture, made its appearance above ground. The wheats suddenly improved both in vigour and colour- all nature, as if by magic, assumed a livelier and healthier hue; in short, the season has been transformed from winter to summer, which is the result of our observations. Were we to write a column, we could say no more. The only drawback is the gloomy state of affairs, in what may be called the political economy of the farming world. Here all is doubt, gloom, and sad foreboding, nor do we see a ray of hope to guide us through the darkness by which we are surrounded. What the projected change in the Poor Law- System may do for us remains to be proved. We would not prejudge a'question on which great ignorance and misconception prevail, and which is not yet sufficiently matured to enable even its originators to pronounce with confidence and precision.

SMITH, Actuary^ ATERLOO HOUSE, 69, St. Paul's Church- yard.— The unprecedented assemblage of fashionables which continue to throng this Establishment ( caused by the unusual sacrifices unavoidably made on many lots of costly goods), and the satisfaction evinced by Ladies from the advantages derived, stimulate the Proprietors to an extra exertion to procure for their cus- tomers novelties in British and Foreign Manufactures, unknown in any other establishment, and at prices commensurate with former sales, which have at- tained for this house so decided a. pre- eminence.— HALL and ALLEN having been purchasers to a large extent at the late Bankrupts' Sales in the City, will OFFER TO- MORROW, and during the week, several lots of French Manufactures, as rich Chantilly Veils and Squares, Canezous, Mantillas, Habit- shirts, French Blonds, and Gauze Ribands, in the prevailing fashionable shades of colour, at prices which must astonish every purchaser.

BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing whatthey conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau « * tions: some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess^ 1* and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satis- faction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient.

WERE we to attempt any satisfactory description of the gaieties of the Court during the last week, we should occupy the whole of rm r paper. Their MAJESTIES came to town on Wednesday; the KING held a Levee ; and on Thursday the QUEEN held a Drawing- room, which was most numerously and brilliantly attended. State dinners, military inspections, and Royal visits have occupied the rest of the period of their MAJESTY'S stay. At the Dinner on Thursday were present— their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester, their Serene Highnesses the Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg and the Prince of Leiningen; the Baron de Marenholz, Grand Marshal of the Court of Brunswick ; M. Gersdorff, the Saxon Minister; Mr. Lichtenberg, the Ha. uoverian Charge d'Afi'aires ; the Dukes of Wellington, Gor- don, Buccleuch, ana Leinster; Duchesses of Northumberland, Gordon, Buccleuch, and Leinster; the Marquess Convngham; the Marchionesses Conyngham and Westmeath ; Earls of Albemarle, Lichfield, Belfast, Denbigh, Erroll, Howe, and Cawdor; Countesses of Lichfield, Denbigh, Howe, Erroll, Albemarle, and Oawdor; Lords Farnborough, Saltoun, Frederick Fitzclarence, and Robert < 5rosvenor; Ladies Farnborough and Catherine Jenkinson; Sirs William Fremantle and Andrew Barnard ; and Mademoiselle d'Este. On Friday their MAJESTIES returned to Windsor. The following important change in the establishment of the Yeo- men of the Guard commences from the present period by the com- mand of His MAJESTY, and all vacancies will for the future be filled np in the following manner. ( The situations were originally obtained by purchase, and the salary derived from it a respectable indepen- dence.) His M AJESTY has been pleased to recommend that all per- sons who now belong to the Guard at their demise these situations are to be filled by persons who have served in the army or navy, and ' have small pensions, and only those persons who have borne an irre proachable character in either of the services ; the future places are to be given from the Crown without purchase. His Grace the Duke • of WELLINGTON, as Governor and High Constable of the Tower, has the power invested in him for the future appointment of persons in the situation of Yeomen of the Guard. Weunderstand the purchase money to have been from 6001. to 7001., which by the new regulations are entirely done away with. This new arrangement, we believe, • will make a very serious alteration in the emoluments of the Captain. THE stock- jobbers have been hard at work with Portu- guese affairs during the week; but we suppose their tricks must now have become so offensively stale, and their objects so glaringly obvious, that their eft'ect must be prodigiously weakened. Tlie last news of Falmouth manufacture inform- ed us, that Admiral NAPIER had taken Figueras— this came by the Flainer, at least it came up to Loudon with the FUMEH'S letters. The intelligence, as usual, has received a practical contradiction, by the fact, that NAPIF. R was at Lisbon on the 5th, and that the PEDROITE forces had evacu- ated all the Southern bank of the Douro. ' File I'ike lias since arrived; and she was, on the 7th, off ^ Oporto, at which time the King's troops were within five leagues of that place. Nobody, who has received genuine letters from Portugal, believes in the story of the capture of Figueras, but think that the attempt upon it has been abandoned, in con - sequence of the disasters in the Algarves. Even if it had been taken, the Pretender's troops could not continue to oceupy it. One fact we know, and we state it fearlessly and unhesi- tatingly. Don MIGUEL never was in so prosperous a position in Portugal as he is at this moment: his army— native— is in high health and condition, devoted to his cause and his service— the service natural to them ; the cause, that of their countrymen. From the outset, and in the outset— the first of any paper in this country— we espoused the cause of the rightful King of PORTUGAL ; through good report and evil • report we have adhered to that cause, because we are sure it ss a just one; from the outset we have declared our conviction that Don MIGUEL must eventually sit upon the throne, and lie acknowledged by the other Powers of Europe. Against every disadvantage, against a combination of low intrigue, dirty treachery, all the efforts of the money- jobbers, all the tricks of the Liberals and Republicans, he has maintained himself up to this point, the unflinching defender of his just rights. TALLEYRAND, having cajoled our elderly CUPID into making England a party to what is called a Quadruple Treaty— two parties to it being only pretenders to disputed Thrones— gets the Portuguese Pretender to equalise the import duties, which Hitherto have been one hundred per cent, in favour of• Eng- land exclusively; having, for this consideration, promised him the aid of an army to expel his brother from Portugal, to which we, in the pure spirit of non- intervention, are to " oin a fleet— destined, as we said last week, to reap neither ionour nor advantage. It seems, however, that PEDRO begins to suspect, by the extraordinary civility of his friends the French and English, who hate " and despise him, that France may have some stronger reason for sending a large force into Portugal than playing his game, and is said to have refused to ratify this fine treaty. The only thing that can save France from a new revolution, is the diversion of popular feeling and opinion to some foreign object, and especially to something where fighting is probable. The recollection of French proceedings in the Peninsula under BUONAPARTE are yet fresh and strong in the mind; and Don PEDRO, who, no doubt, is convinced that he will subside into nothing, if his French friends come, thinks it perhaps best to let things take another course, and even come to an amicable arrangement with his brother, who, for all we know, may by this time be again in possession of Oporto. A Treaty with France, after the late decision of the Chamber of Deputies, is not worth much ; and as Lord - PAL. WERSTON has succeeded in making England a junior nartner in French diplomacy, we must not be surprised if the contempt into which the faith and credit of that enlightened country have fallen, should be shared by the English Go- vernment. Lord IIoWAh." DE WALDEN, it is said, has had an au- dience of Don PEDBO, in which lie placed the Treaty before i him, and desired him to sign it imm diately— at which Don PEDRO laughed, and Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN was ushered out. We thought this person had been recalled. When are his first despatches to be moved for in the House of Commons ? We may perhaps add, that undoubted intelligence has been received of the withdrawal of the Austrian and Prussian Ministers from Madrid. The Russian Ambassador was ex- pected to leave on the 13th. WE are glad to find that, owing to the exertions of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir HENRY HARDINGE, the twenty- sixth clause of the Bill for Regulating the Retiring Pensions of Clerks in Public Offices has been most satisfactorily arranged. We could have wished that the exertions of the Right Honourable Gentlemen had been equally successful as regards clause 10. IT now appears certain that the Irish Tithe Bill will be forwarded with all possible dispatch,— at least so we judge from what Lord LANSDOWNE said on Friday, in the Ilouseof Lords. Of course the appropriation clause will remain— anew proof of the influence of the Premier in his Cabinet; for— and we are most glad to do the old gentleman justice when we can— Earl GREY has been constitutionally strenuous in his opposition to that particular feature of the measure. If this concession prove the weakness of Lord GREY amongst the Ministers, what can more strongly prove the weakness of the Ministers in the House of Commons than Mr. TENNYSON'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill to shorten the duration of Parliaments to three years. In no way pressed from without, upon this point,— without a petition, that we know of, upon the table of the House referring to it,— such is the selfishness of certain men, and such the entire carelessness of the wishes or views of the Government, that this new Reform is brought forward and supported by 153 Honourable Members, anxious to have something to talk of on the hustings at the next election. And this question was lost by a Ministerial majority of about fifty. Of the number of Members who supported the Government, eighty- three were Conservatives— so that without the aid of those men who conscientiously act upon principle and in the conviction that they are doing right, His MAJ ESTY'S Ministers would have been in a minority of from 20 to 30. It may be as well to observe that, from this division, the Right Hon. Mr. THOMSON was absent. We know that men, under certain circumstances, make excuses— that " When a Lady's in the case, All other things of course give place:" But we would just venture to observe, that if Mr. POULETT THOMSON chooses to absent himself upon such occasions, although it may have no effect upon the Conservatives, who support his colleagues upon principle, it may produce a very disagreeable one upon the less tractable Whigs, their own particular friends. We merely mention this;— the tenure of office by Mr. THOMSON and his party is frail enough, and if this careless- ness or desire to shirk unpopularity, disgusts any very consi- derable number of his partizans, it will be quite impossible for the independent upholders of the Ministry to keep them in their places much longer. WE hope the Most Reverend Doctor AVHATELY, Arch- bishop of Dublin, has recovered from the surprise into which his recent appointment of Junior Chaplain at St. James's must have thrown him. These things will happen to courtiers sometimes. WE last week said—" THE CHURCH IS IN DANGER ;" the events of six more days have, we think, justified our appre- hensions. The mask is thrown off, and the Dissenters have made such open demonstration of their real meaAing, and their true intentions, that the Establishment is taken under the pro- tection of a Dissenting LORD CHANCELLOR, who, in the true spirit of Whiggery, no sooner finds his official existence threa- tened by an assault upon the Government on the part of the Sectarists, than, forgetting all the articles he ever wrote in the Edinburgh Review, all the speeches he ever made at taverns and on hustings, he turns round upon his compatriots and condisciples, and maintains the inviolability of the Esta- blishment, and the inseparability of Church and State. It may be recollected by our readers, that, in the course of our anti- concessional course, we have invariably stood upon the principle of leaving unaltered the Laws under which Eng- land had so long flourished and, been happy. We always felt that pulling out the smallest brick from the wall by which our just liberties were guarded, would unsettle the whole fabric, and, eventually, prove the destruction of the ancient laud- marks of the constitution.— Hare we been wrong ? We appeal to Lord GREY to shew that we have not. We stated that the measure which he through his life ( except during the three weeks he was coquetting with the Duke of WELLINGTON, and was two- thirds— aye, more— a Tory) advocated, and which he to the last supported,— we mean Roman Catholic Emancipation,-— would not answer the pur- pose for which the Tory Government conceded it; and that, so far from tranquillizing Ireland, it would only render the differences between her and England infinitely more serious and important. What lias turned out to be the case? The conces- sion has appeased nobody; the country is in a state of rebellion ; and, with all their bluster about coercion, the Mi- nisters are in the hands of an individual whom they despise, but who, in all probability, will extort from them the most disgraceful submission for his own personal advancement; then he— as Lord GREY has thrown over the Political Unions, and Lord BROUGHAM the Dissenters— may throw over the unhappv dupes from whose miserable pittances lie draws a splendid income. But, if it be so, another leader will rise up, and the tranquillity which was doubtful before the concession of the Popish claims, is now hopeless. To prevent having recourse to such measures as Lord GREY, on the strength of a Conservative majority in the House of Commons, threatens to adopt, the Duke of WELLINGTON yielded that question— and, as we have just said, its chief ad- vocate, Lord GREY now admits himself to have been as much disappointed by its results as he was by the favourable opera- tion of the Union between the countries to which, four- and- thirty years ago, he had " the most insuperable objections." When, upon a similar principle of conciliation, the Tories— who, after all, did more for the liberty of the subject than the Whigs ever would dare or condescend to do— repealed the Test and Corporation Acts— What did we say ? " That," to use Lord GREY'S own words on the subject of Reform ( during the coquetting season.) " it was opening the door without having any security for being able to shut it again." IIow has that turned out ? Let the reports of the meetings and assemblies, and votes and resolutions of the last week answer the question ; and if these are not sufficient^ read the following passage in the Dissenters' paper, the Christian Advocate, in reference to those particulars :— " Whatever concessions," says this paper, " may be made to Dissenters, will be received and used by them, as the means of obtaining a full and complete SEPARATION OP CHURCH AND STATE, without which, it is declared EQUAL RIGHTS and JUSTICE cannot be secured to all classes of His MAJESTY'S subjects." And let us just see what were the nature and character of the meeting to which the passage refers. It was an assembly of delegates from the Dissenters in all parts of the British empire, of all sects, classes, and denominations, regularly convened by what is called the Metropolitan United Com- mittee. And this sectarian convocation, after a debate of three or four hours, came to a resolution, that " the separation of Church and State formed the only secure foundation of equal religious rights and civil liberty." " It is true," says the Christian Advocate, " that the- meeting confined itself to the recognition of separation, as a fundamental principle, and refrained from making it the object of petition to the Legislature. Many ( and we confess ourselves to be of the number) would have preferred the latter course; but at the same time we willingly admit, that it may be sufficient, for the present at least, to have put it be- yond all doubt, that the disunion of Church and State, THE OVERTHROW, IN FINE, OF THE ESTABLISHMENT, is the supreme object of desire with all Dissenters, whether violent or moderate, in country or in town."''' Are we justified now, in the prophecies which, six years ago, we were considered stubborn, uncompromising, blind, and bigoted in venturing ? On Monday evening a public meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting the course suggested by the Christian Advocate, and of immediately petitioning Parliament to proceed to the separation. At this meeting Mr. JOSEPH HUME, the member for Middlesex, presided. What that gentleman's religious tenets may be, we cannot pretend to say ; but it may be instructive, as bearing upon both the questions, upon which we have decidedly, invariably, and unalterably expressed our opinion, to observe, that there were on the platform, Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL and some other Popish Members of Parliament— Mr. ROE- BUCK, Mr. RUTHVEN, Mr. BLAKE, and Mr. VIGORS, were also present. A Mr. GIBSON made a most furious speech, which was received with enthusiasm by the meeting— Mr. O'CONNELL spoke, and Mr. BUCKINGHAM seconded Mr. GIBSON'S motion, which was to this effect:—- " That the alliance of Church and State is an extension of the authority of the civil power beyond its legitimate province ; that it taxes the industry of the community ; and that it establishes an in fluence which continually opposes itself to salutary measures of reform and national improvement." This is plain enough— and upon this and other similar declarations the Morning Chronicle triumphantly exclaims that " the Church of England has had its day, and its hour of tribulation is at hand." Are we, or are we not justified in saying, the CHURCH is in DANGER— and if the CHURCH be in danger, where is the STATE ? Let us for one moment ask what these persons mean by a separation of the Church from the State— do they mean that Dissenters are to be relieved from Church- rates or the opera- tions of the Tithe Laws ? Probably they do— but certainly they mean something infinitely more important. What does Mr. GIBSON mean when he talks of overthrowing the Esta- blishment?— what does Mr. BUCKINGHAM mean when he says the union of Church and State impedes improvement? Mr. GIBSON speaks out, for he says— " There was no doubt but the Dissenters laboured under great grievances, the removal of which they had long but in vain petitioned for. ( Cries of" Shame, shame.) He had expected when the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts had taken place, and the Catholic Relief Bill was ceded, that the present year would not have arrived without the removal of all the disabilities under which the Dissenters laboured. ( Cheers. ) He was sorry to say that the measure which Government introduced was totally inadequate to meet the reasonable requests of the Dissenters. But when they were refused it was their duty to come forward in a bold and manly way and demand their entire rights. ( Cheers.) They were not to be made the victims of partial legislation ( hear), nor were their rights to be ceded to them bit by bit. The injustice which oppressed them ought to be resisted, and the axe should with a bold liand be applied to the root of the evil. ( Cheers ) Resistance to their just claims endangered the peace of the country { cheers), and their opponents were the disturbers of the public peace. ( Cheers.) Could there be a doubt but the unnatural connection between the Church and State was the primary cause, and would be the permanent one, of all those evils ? ( Cheers.) ' The Clinrch,. it was true, supported the State or Government, while the Governmen t succumbed to all the corruption of such a connection. The Church enjoyed a most unjust monopoly, one that no free country could per- mit. ( Cheers.) The Bishops long ere this should have been ejected from the House of Peers. ( Cheers.) Their political power was very great, and they exercised it to the injury of the institutions of the country. Still the Members of the Upper Chamber— he meant the Lords— supported them on all occasions. It was not so with the House of Commons ; that was the people's House.—( Cheers )— They entertained quite different views, and were quite hostile to the sys- tem of Church monopoly. Still not three months ago they were per- suaded to vote 250,0001. out of the people's pockets to increase the wealth of the Church. At this period he would say that it was bad policy to do so. If the Government looked at the aspect of the times they would not have done it. They yielded nothing to justice, and little to policy. He was sure that they must be ignorant of public opinion, or else they would have long since paid that deference to its sympathy which it demanded, and which they appeared to be quite independent of. ( Cheers.) He believed that tliere were many honest men amongst them. ( Cries of ' No, no} not one of them,' and great uproar.) Whatever might be their sentiments on the subject, he was bound to state his own. He would say that they must be ignorant of the prevailing opinions of the people, or else they would not have resisted them. ( Cheers.)" Here we have the truth— tithe- paying, rate- paying— none of these are the objects to strike at— no, the separation of the Church and State is neither more nor less than the entire subversion of the CONSTITUTION. The Bishops cannot be moved from the House of Lords without breaking up the compact, and destroying all the bonds by which the nation is united. Touch the privilege of a single Bishop, and where is the dominion of the KING ?— they are alike inherent. We will not waste the time in arguiug upon that, which is self- evident; but we cannot resist the desire of awakening every heart in the empire, even that of the HIGHEST AMONGST US, to the absolute necessity of making a stand somewhere. The Ministers are at the mercy pf factions, pouring in on every side; by all they are threatened— by all despised, by all denounced— they are not the men capable of advising their Royal Master; and, although we are quite: ready to do all justice to Lord BROUGHAM'S official vindi- cation of the Establishment, those who know him better, will perhaps judge of its sincerity with less favourable eyes. We have given a hasty sketch of the week's occurrences, and June 22. JOHN BULL? 157 repeat, ti e CHURCH IS IN DANGER. If Ministers will act properly, and maintain what tliey liave left of the Consti- tution manfully, there is no doubt that Sir ROBERT PEEL will give them his support, in which case they may hang on a little longer; but if not, they, like the Church, are in DANGER. WE would venture to suggest to ;. certain Military Knight, holding a confidential office near tin- person of an Illustrious Lady, that it would be as well if he did not repose too much confidence in two individuals distinguished by the lead which they take in the worst political party in the State. The subject upou which the Gallant Officer has recently been speaking somewhat freely, is the last that any man should allow himself to discuss ; and, least of all, a man. situated as that Gallant Officer happens to be. The expectants for office, under certain circumstances, take every advantage which such indiscreet conduct affords them; and the consequence is, that an impression is given as to the political feeling of the Illustrious Personage herself, which, we have every reason to believe, is perfectly erroneous. OUR readers have no doubt been already a good deal amused at Lord BROUGHAM'S droll and convivial speech in opposition to Lord WYNFORD'S proposed Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath. It was a very comical speech, and established a most interesting standard of drunkenness, by which it is hoped publicans may with the greatest facility ascertain the degree of inebriety at which any inau may have arrived at any particular time. One thing is quite certain— No drunken man is conscious of his own drunkenness, and that position appeared to be ge- nerally admitted by everybody who had the pleasure of hearing his Lordship's lucid exposition of the art and science of d linking. Lord BROUGHAM, we understand, entered a protest against Lord W VNFORD'S Bill immediately after the division, which we trust some of our contemporaries will publish, as we should have done to- day had there been time. The language in which the protest is couched is said to be quite of a novel character as regards such instruments, and is applied per- sonally to the Noble and Learned Lord who brought in the Bill, rather than, as has been hitherto the custom, to the Bill itself. AVF, before noticed, with surprise, that Lord RUSSELL, Lord TAVISTOCK'S son and heir, should have voted for the appro- priation of Church property to the secular purposes of the State; and our surprise arose from our knowledge of the fact, that the principal part of what will in all probability eventu- ally become his Lordship's estate, is Church property. We now find that Lord . TOHX RUSSELL, who, with the exception of his noble father, we consider the weakest of noblemen, has in sober earnestness taken up the question in a similar point of view with his nephew, and made a formal de- claration of his opinions. What can lie mean ? does he ima- gine that when his object shall have been achieved, any respect will be paid to those grants under which his father inherited, and his brother will inherit, the extensive Church property now in their possession ? In 1547, the site of the Abbey of Woburn was granted to JOHN Baron RUSSELL of Cheynes, Lord High Steward of England, and afterwards Earl of BEDFORD. In addition to the large pos- sessions he obtained from Woburn, he obtained grants of the Benedictine Abbey of Tavistock, in Devonshire— the Cister- cian Abbey of Dunkeswell, in the same county— the Benedic- tine Abbey of St. Mary's, Thorney, with a very large tract of land in Cambridgeshire— the Preceptory of Melchburn, be- longing to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem— the Priory of Castle Hymel, in Northamptonshire— also part of the Carthusian Priory of Mount Grace, in Yorkshire, and of some of the appurtenances of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Alban's. Also the House of Friars Preachers in Exeter, and the Estate of Convent Garden and Long Acre, the former belonging to the Abbey of St. Peter's, Westminster. Considering the obligations these RUSSELLS are under to the Church, their gratitude upon the present occasion is about equal to their wisdom upon all others. SIR GEORGE MURRAY took his seat in the House of Com- mons on Tuesday, during the morning sitting, and was received with loud cheering by the Opposition. Lord GREY expressed a great deal of surprise at hearing of these marks of congratulation, and affected the most perfect indifference as to the result of the election. That it was affectation, those who are accustomed to the under- workings of his Lordship's countenance had no doubt,— if they had, the following extract from the leading article of the Times newspaper of the 21st of last month would serve to undeceive them as to the real state of his Lordship's feelings, and those of his colleagues, upon the defeat of his valuable Lord of the Treasury:— " As the time for tlie Perthshire election draws near, the friends of the opposing candidates are redoubling their exertions, and dis- playing a more ardent zeal in their canvass. Both parties are aware of ttie great stake for which they are contending, and of the IMMENSE INFLUENCE on public opinion which their victory or defeat must exer- cise. Mr. GRA HAM'S supporters are sensible that the TRIAL OF WHIG POPULARITY in the most important county of Scotland is conducted in his person, and Sir GEORGE MURRAY'S Tory partisans are equally alive to the issue of the contest upon their interests and characters." GREAT interest has been excited by the pleadings before the Privy Council, against granting a Charter to the Cockney College in Gower- street. A more luminous address than that of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL was never heard, and the manner in which he elicited the disagreeable confession from Lord GREY of the circumstances under which his Lordship left the University, without having graduated, was inexpressibly effective. Dr. LUSHINGTON, Messrs. POLLOCK and FOLLETT have also addressed the Court with great ability, and Dr. LUSHINGTON, by one or two of his replies to the CHAN- CELLOR, produced an effect upon his Lordship which could not have been altogether agreeable. There is one obvious absurdity in this proceeding, which tends, too. to degrade the character of a judicial appeal. Most of the Judges of the Court who are to decide upon a measure which is to raise this College into value and importance, are shareholders ill the joint- stock trading company by which if has been built. One might as well appeal to LEVY, the toll lessee, on a question connected with the metropolitan trusts! It is quite painful to hear eloquent appeals and forcible argu- ments wasted in opposing a measure brought before a Court, the granting of which would raise the property of most of the Judges two or three hundred per cent. To be sure, a Joint- stock Learning Company established in the days of loans, mines, bonds, and bubbles, does not seem to be an institution worthy of such a power as that which is sought to be conferred on it. We suspect the very shame of the thing will throw it over, without taking the grievous mischief likely to accrue from a compliance with the prayer of the petitioners into consideration. WE have elsewhere noticed the speech of the LORD CHANCELLOR on the claims— as they are impudently, and after the fashion of the Papists called— of the Dissenters on Monday. Nothing that Lord BROUGHAM does ever sur- prises us. MATHEWS, in a monopolylogue, is not half so versatile or rapid in his changes; but with all our veneration for versatility, we cannot but man- el at the opportunity his Lordship selected for the distinct avowal of his present opi- nions with regard to the inviolability of the union between Church and State. Lord BROUGHAM was once Rector of the University of Glasgow— we are not certain that he did not at one time tell his hearers that he was born in Glasgow; of that, we are not certain, but. that he was Lord Rector, is a notorious fact. From this circumstance, and from the articles which his Lordship wrote in the Blue and Yellow, the good people of Glasgow no doubt flattered themselves that their sentiments upou Church matters were perfectly in accordance with those of the Noble and Learned Baron: and, as he had been their teacher, so they expected him to be their leader: and there- fore, when, with infinite pains and trouble, they had got up a petition on this most important topic, and procured— at least so Lord BROUGHAM said— no fewer than fifty- thousand sig- natures, they placed it with confidence in the hands of their instructor and advocate, in order to secure it a favourable reception in the House of Lords. But, tempora mutant ui— in other days Lord BROUGHAM was a briefless barrister and a greedy reviewer. He is now Lord High Chancellor of England : and, Dissenter though he be, in actual possession of more Church patronage than the whole Bench of Bishops put together. Unluckily that patronage is chiefly confined to England and Ireland, and does not drop into the ever- gaping mouths of " Scotia's hungry sons." Have we not here another example of that accommodating patriotism, which talks one language, and supports one set of principles, when out of office, and which assumes exactly the reverse when in ? Do the cunning simpletons of Glasgow- suppose that if BROUGHAM had been gifted with second sight— which is quite another thing from seeing double— and could have then beheld his own spectre, perched on the Woolsack, he would have either talked or written in favour of those demoralising, revolutionary doctrines, which he now so brilliantly denounces, and so indignantly repels ? MR. W HITTLE HARVEY, with a perseverance worthy of a better cause, has pushed his " case" upon the notice of the House of Commons, and a Committee is appointed to take it into consideration. The description which the Hon. Gentle- man gave of his interview with Lord BROUGHAM, in the course of his speech, was vividly graphic, and essentially cor- roborates all that we had the pleasure of submitting to our readers at the time touching the CHANCELLOR and ROBERT the Messenger. Since that occurrence, the Benchers of the Temple have a second time refused to call Mr. HARVEY. His " case" has been published, and was reviewed at consi- derable length in that excellently conducted work, the Law Magazine. From the manner in which the Committee to investigate this case has been formed, we suspect it cannot be in- tended seriously. Sir ROBERT PEEL, and two or three other Members, have been put upon it, who cannot possibly attend ; besides, who is the plaintiff-— who the defendant is, of course, we know; and there he is, surrounded by his friends the Committee, all of whom have spoken in the House in his favour, after having read all the papers, which are again to be submitted to them. Besides, what has a Parliamentary Com- mittee to do with re- trying questions which have already been regularly decided in the Courts of Justice ? The thing is quite absurd. ONE of the great points which our unfortunate Ministers seem anxious to impress upon the minds of their country- men, who have anything to lose, is, that they are not answer- able for the state of the country, nor for that feverish state of excitement in which the lower classes are at this moment ex- isting. They deny— so do the journeymen tailors— that the Trades' Unions have any political feeling. This is absurd, for the majority of the Trades' Unionists are also Political Unionists ; or, if the majority be not, a great proportion is ; and there can be no question that the systematic organization of these Unions, and the importance which they attach to their measures and proceedings, are attributable to the favour and protection— nay, we will go farther— the open encourage- ment given to the Political Unions by Lord GREY and his Government at the period w hen they'desired and received their aid and support in carrying the measure, of which they themselves are now the most deplorable victims. In order to fix the imputation of having communicated with, and even directed the course of these unlawful assemblies— as- semblies which Lord GREY was subsequently forced ( to what will not these proud Whigs submit for the lucre of gain '.) to put down— we to- day republish a precis of the proceedings at Bristol at the time of the riots in that city, and when the countenance of these knots of " Friends of the People" was considered as essential to the prosperity of the English Mi- nisters, as Lord ANGLESEY imagined agitation to be beneficial to tlie Irish Government:— BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE EVIDENCE ON THE BRISTOL TRIAL. In order to place tlie case of his Majesty's Government and the Bristol Reformers v. the Corporation of Bristol in a proper point of view, it may not be amiss to furnish a brief analysis of the extraor- dinary disclosures on the recent trial. Colonel BRERETOX received special orders from Government to take the command of the troops at Bristol. It was proved on oath, that one ofthe first things which was done by this Colonel BRERETOX, whilst so acting under special orders from Government, was to join in the shouts ofthe rabble engaged in carrying straw into the Mansion House, for the purpose of setting it on fire. It was proved on oath, that the troops under the command of this Colonel BRERETOX, SO acting under special orders from Government, waved their gloves, and bawled " Reform for ever," whilst the work of destruction was proceeding. It was proved on oath that one of the soldiers under the command of the said Colonel BRERETOX, SO acting under special orders from Government, actually wounded the Bishop's butler with his sabre, for presuming to take into custody one of the plunderers of the palace. It was proved on oath that another soldier, under the command of the said Colonel BRERETOX, SO acting under special orders from Government, threatened to " cut down" an individual who had armed himself with a sword, and who had one of the rioters in his custody, in consequence of which the latter was enabled to escape. It was proved on oath that the said Colonel BREBEION, SO acting u nder special orders from Government, sent a great part ofthe troops under liis command from Bristol, and then, as an excuse for allowing the mob to burn and destroy, alleged that he had not a sufficient force to act against them. It was proved on oath that the said Colonel BRERETOX, SO acting under special orders from Government, refused to allow Captain; Codrington, ofthe Doddington Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, to mter- fere for the suppression of the riot. It was proved on oath that after the riots had continued for forty- eight hours, and when the mob had succeeded in sacking and burn- ing the Bishop's Palace, the Custom House, the Mansion House, the gaols, and two sides of Qtieen- square, the said Colonel BRERETOJI refused to share what he called the " responsibility" of putting an end to the rebellion, and that it was suppressed by MnjorBEcnwiTH, under a protest from his commanding officer, the said Col. BRERE- TOX, then acting under special orders from Government. It was proved on oath that before the riots one POWELL, and a numerous body of Reformers, attended a meeting called by the authorities for the purpose of securing an adequate constabulary force, and denounced all such attempts to preserve the peace of the city : the said POWELL and his companions being active members of the Political V/ lion, established in order to support the fVhig admini- stration. It was proved on oath that during the riots the Ministerial Reform- ers generally refused to give any assistance to the civic authorities,— that, on the contrary, they encouraged the rebels by cries of, " Go it, my boys!" until their own houses were threatened. It was proved on oath that Mr. S. WARING, then [ we hope no> longer] a member of the Society of Friends, and an ardent supporter of Government, had the effrontery to propose to the Corporation that they should offer up their burnt offering, and add fuel to the flames which were racing in the city, by burning an effigy of their Recorder, Sir C/ mrles ff ' ethcre/ l! It was proved on oath that one VENN, the Secretary ofthe Political Union, and of course another warm partisan of the Government, was engaged in cheering 011 the mob. It was proved on oath that several of the mob who were captured, were forcibly liberated by the Political Union, so established for the purpose of supporting the Government. When, then, we review the conduct of the military Commanding Officer, the Ministerial Reformers, and the Government— when we remember that the riots were suppressed under protest from the Officer, who had received special instructions as to the line of conduct which he was to pursue from the Ministry— when, subsequently, we find the Reformers and the L nionists, who had either looked on or assisted in the work of destruction, and the Government, who had instructed the said military Officer, all working together in getting up charges against the Corporation— when on the trial we find the Attorney- General eulogising the Reformers and Unionists, whose conduct* was sworn to as above, and alleging it as a high crime against the Corporation that they had endeavoured, whilst the riots were proceeding, to conceal their powerless situation from the mob*— when we connect all these things together, can any rational man for a moment doubt that these different parties, at least understood one another? * Vide report of trial— examination of Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW. " Witness : I wished to keep the people in ignorance, that the 14th had left the town.— ATTORNEY- GENERAL : You wished then to DECEIVE the people upon this point I" Now-, that the Reform Bill is carried, and the Political Unions not wanted, the discontent which the customary failure of Whig promises and the usual violation of Whig pledges, have produced, vents itself in another shape, and a pretext is made about wages, in order to encourage com- bination, and funerals are got up in order to accustom the Unionists to orderly marching, — marching too, with con- cealed weapons— an incontrovertible fact; but now, our ad- mirable Ministers wish to shake off their connection with their " unwashed friends," and, filling every available recep- tacle with infantry, artillery, cavalry, and police, kick their petition out of the Government offices, having first induced the Deputation who brought it there, to commit themselves by writing down their several names and addresses.— So much for the FRIENDS OF THE PEOPLE. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL left town on Thursday, for Edinburgh, but we anticipate nothing but a second edition of Dudley. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL is opposed, in his attempt upon the Modern Athens, by Mr. LEARMONTH, an eminent coach- maker, who comes forward, with every prospect of success, to save the Scottish metropolis from the degradation of having a rejected Whig thrust upon it. I11 one district alone twenty- five Whigs, who voted for Mr. JEFFREY, have promised their support to their towns- man ; and we have little doubt that the triumph of Conserva- tism over Whiggery, which has just been achieved in Perthshire, will be followed by a similar victory in the city. Mr. MURRAY stands for his old, new borough, Leitli, and he, like the ATTORNEY- GENERAL will be opposed. Ilis antagonist is Mr. ACHESON, an eminent distiller, and a most popular man— indeed the feeling runs so strong against the Ministry, that the very fact of opposing their myrmidons is enough to raise a host of supporters. We may be deceived— but from what we hear, we expect to announce a double triumph upon the present occasion. THE Poor Laws Bill has gone into Committee, and the clause which empowers Government to appoint ( he Commis- sioners has been agreed to. Tile following description of the functions of these Commissioners is extremely good; we ex- tract it from a report of some parochial Committee at Brighton— it seems to us to bring all their duties, powers, and authorities very clearly and concisely under the eye:— " This Bill is now before the House of Commons, with an apparent determination on the part of Ministers, to pass it into a law.— It is therefore the bounden duty of every man to consider its provisions and their effect, which may'be felt seriously, oppressively, and injuriously by all rate payers and the poor in general. I t autho- rises the appointment by the Crown of three Chief Commissioners who may appoint nine Assistant Commissioners, and who are to have the same protection and indemnity as Judges, that is, they are not liable to have any action brought against them for what they may do wrong in their office, not even for false imprisonment, nor to be pro- ceeded against except by Parliament. " They may hold their Boards publicly or privately whenever and wherever they please, and summon witnesses before them whom the Chief Commissioners may commit to prison for what they may deem a contempt of the Board. " They may require a declaration to be signed by any person, and if it is untrue'' in any particular' the person will have to forfeit 1001. without mitigation. " Any person who shall refuse to attend the Commissioners' sum- mons, is to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and liable to fine and imprisonment. '" The power for making laws with reference to the poor, to be as binding as Acts of Parliament which is now vested in the two Houses of Parliament with consent of the King, is delegated to the Commissioners in defiance and breach of the Constitution of this kingdom. " The Commissioners may, without any consent, unite any num- ber of parishes with Brighton, and direct workhouses to be built or enlarged for the reception of the poor of such parishes m any place, and in any manner as they shall think fit, and they may direct rates to be levied for this purpose. , . . . " They are to have the entire control oyer administering relief to the poor and their management either m or out of workhouses, and of auditing and allowing all accounts relating thereto. _ " They are to control the number of guardians of the poor in each parish, and Justices ofthe Peace are to be ex officio guardians of the poor to carry the orders ofthe Commissioners into effect. " They may alter or rescind any of their rules, orders, and r< » gu- latioas as often as they think proper, which may lead to great con 158 JOHN BULI/ MaylS. ' Bision and great injustice and oppression to those who are called opon to obev them. " Parish " Officers, Directors, and Guardians, and other officers, • will have no power except as servants to the Commissioners, who may dismiss any paid officer they may deem unfit for his situation. " The above powers vested in irresponsible Commissioners, involv- ing as they do the management and expenditure of more than seven millions of pounds per annum, require no comment. They affect every rate payer, and all are called upon to render their aid in oppos- ing them, and for this purpose they are requested to attend the Vestry Meeting at the Town Hall, next Thursday, at one for two o'clock: precisely." OlTR readers may recollect a correspondence which a short " time since took place between Captain SARTORIUS and Sir JOHN MILLET DOYLE, K. C. B., as well as the result of that eorrespondence. Upon neither do we mean to say one word, because it is bad ripping up old grievances. It is, however, our duty to lay before our readers the following details of a new affair, which, if it does not serve to throw any addi- tional lustre upon the character of Sir JOHN, at least will have the effect of exhibiting to an admiring nation the sort of discussions in which the Generals and Field Marshals of a Liberating Army are occasionally engaged, as well as the dreadful instability of Royal favour, even in the case of a Pretender:— SIR JOHX MILLET DOYLE'S CORRESPONDENCE WITH BRIGADIER- GENERAL BACON. ( Duplicate.— Private.) No. 1. Palace of Necessidades, April 24, 1834. My Dear General— Having ever through life endeavoured to'follow the sacred maxim inculcated to us by our catechism, " to do unto all men as I would they should do unto me," and feeling confident tkat, under similar circumstances, you would act in the like manner, I think I should not perform the friendly part of a colleague did I not make you aware of certain reports injurious to your reputation sis an officer and a gentleman, which have been going the rounds^ for some time in Lisbon, and to give you the opportunity of rebutting these charges and punishing the authors of such vile reports. I send you the enclosed, which will enable you to adopt the measures you may deem most advisable. Thougli marked private, you are, of course, permttted to make what use you please of this letter.— I have the honour to be, my dear General, yours very truly, J. M. DOYLE, Major- General. To Brigadier- General BACON. ( Duplicate.) No. 2. Private mem. for Brigadier- General BACON, K. T. S. It has been reported by various persons that, after the battle of Vallonga, where some of the Lancers under General BACON'S com- mand, took a quantity of plate, money, jewels, and various articles " worth a considerable sum, that General BACON directed all those valuables to be taken and deposited in his quarters, he stating at the same time to his men that he should have all these articles sold and the value divided amongst the captors. It is now said that, instead of doing this, General BACON appropriated nearly the whole to his own use, and gave but a very small portion to two individuals of the corps. General B. is further reported to have appropriated several sums of money, received from the Government for the use and pay- ment of the men of the Queen's Lancers, to his own privat e use; and also to have permitted one or two of his officers to do the same. Gen. BACON is also reported to have authorised and permitted the sale and exchange of several English horses belonging to the Government for Portuguese horses, without the knowledge or sanction of her Most Faithful Majesty's Government. Whenever Brigadier- General BACON desires it," the undersigned will give further particulars as well as the names of the parties who have taken the liberty of speaking of General, BACON in this manner. The undersigned authorises General BACON to make whatever use he thinks proper of this private memorandum. J. M. DOYLE, Major- General and A. D. C. to his Imperial Majesty the Regent. ( Private.) No. 3. Palace of Necessidades, April 27,1834, 2 p. m. My dear General— Having this instant been informed of your arrival in this city, and not having heard from you in answer to a letter which I wrote and forwarded you to Cartaxo, on the 24th instant, I feel I would not be acting right were I not instantly to for- ward you the enclosed copy of it.— Believe me to be, my dear Gene- ral, yonrs very truly, J. M. DOYLE, Major- General. To Brigadier- General BACON, K. T. S., < fcc. General Bacon answered this letter on Sunday morning, the 2/ tli April, thanking Sir John for the information, stating that this Vallonga story was not true, and requesting him to give up liis authority. Tliis letter, without date or postmark, was delivered in the evening of the 30th by the postman, in presence of two witnesses, " who attested the circumstance, as well as the letter carrier. General BACON not receiving any answer, sent on Monday, the 28tli, a note to Sir JOHN, of which Captain WAKEFIELD was the bearer, to call - Sir JOHN to an account, as the author of these reports. ( Answer.) No. 4. April 28, 1834. Sir— 1 have this moment received your letter of this day's date, and, though expressed in rather ambiguous terms, I might possibly be led to conjecture its construction; yetpermit me to say, you must excuse me from having any personal conference with you, Captain WAKE- FIELD, or any other friend on your behalf, but" at a future period I shall be prepared to be your obedient servant at your command. ( Signed) J. M. DOYLE. To Brigadier- General BACON. This letter Sir JOHN asserts to have been dictated by Lieutenant- Colonel WILLIAMS. It gave rise to the following:— No. 5. Alcantara, April 28,1834. You are a dirty, cowardly, backbiting, infamous scoundrel; and if you dare retrieve your lost character you will make your appoint- ment with Captain WAKEFIELD to- morrow morning at nine o'clock; if not, I shall not write to you, to consider yourself horsewhipped, but I will apply the end to the most vulnerable part of your disgrace- ful and dishonourable person. ( Signed) A. BACON. To Sir JOHN M. DOYLE. REPLY TO THE AROVE. No. 6. 8, Rua de Necessidades, April 29. SIR— Since Captain W. left my house this morning, I have liad a consultation with my friends, who are decidedly ot opinion that I cannot meet or hold any communication with you until you convince the public that the charges brought against you are without founda- tion. I was not, or am not yonr accuser; but whenever your court martial is held, I, if called forward, will produce the persons, who will give the documentary evidence which they placed in my hands, and after what has passed, if you wish it, I will become the proseeutor myself. ( Signed) J. M. DOYLE. With this obliging and friendly offer, it appears that the correspondence terminated; it appearing also, that Sir JOHN DOYLE ( according to the dates) did not receive General BACON'S first letter until the following day, upon which day, amongst other apparitions, appeared the following order:— ORDER OF THE DAY.— No. 208. Imperial Head- quarters, Lisbon, April 30. GENERAL ORDER. His Imperial Majesty the Duke of BRAGANZA, the Commander- in- Chief of the liberating army, is pleased to direct that the following order may be communicated to the army:— No. 1.— Major General ( O Mariscal de Campo) Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, Aide- de- Camp to his Imperial Majesty, is exonerated from his situation, and detached from the Imperial Staff. ( Translation. A true copy.) J. M. DOYLE. Seen by me the first time, May 2d, 1834 — J. M. DOYLE. Of all the Orders, the gallant O MARISCAL DE CAMPO ( the dignity, we presume, being Hibernicised with the O as a personal compliment to Sir JOHN), we think this is the least flattering, although evidently a Grand Cross. General BACON has expressed himself anxious for an im- mediate investigation, and the O MARISCAL has received a gentle hint from his recent crony, the Pretender, that any further interference on his part with General BACON, would be immediately accompanied by his imprisonment in Belem Castle. All this throws a good deal of light upon the system pur- sued by the popular REGENT and his patriotic adherents. UNITED STATES. It appears, by the latest intelligence from America, that the great est confusion and excitement continued to prevail in the Republican States ; and, if we may judge either from the statements or the tem- per of the journals, a crisis is not far distant. The President has addressed a message to the Senate, in which he severely rebukes them for their late resolution against the withdrawal of the Bank deposits, and reiterates his determination to persevere in the course which he has begun. The following extract will convey some idea of the feeling which the President's conduct has excited:— " The revolution is progressing! The annals of the world fur- nish no parallel to the march of precocious despotism which this country has presented within the last nine months. This day the Senate afforded an appalling spectacle. The President transmitted a proclamation or manifesto to that body, denouncing them in the most arrogant and insulting terms, for having passed the resolution pronouncing the Secretary of the Treasury's reasons for removing the deposits, <$ rc., insufficient; declaring those resolutions, and the ac- tion of the Senate, a flagitious violation of their authority, in deroga- tion ofthe prerogatives of the Executive, and demanding of the Senate to record his protest on their journals as a matter of history! The whole document is one of the most impudent and flagitious ebullitions of despotism, ignorance, and usurpation, that, was, perhaps, everpresent ed to a deliberative assembly for grave consideration. It startled the most unscrupulons_ advocates of all previous executive usurpations. Indignation— burning, deep, and violent indignation— appeared to swell almost all bosoms ; and in the galleries, the passages, the lobbies of the Senate and House, bursts of execration and threats of punishment might be heard, directed against the daring usurper. The storm is about our ears, and it will be impossible to avert vio- lence if the President persists in his determination to subvert the liberties of the people, by substituting his own will for the constitu- tion and laws of the country." Another paper thus depicts the actual position of affairs nnder the Government of a Republic:— " The times are portentous. A change has come over the land. Power has been stole ' the few has resounded the responsibility,' have been uttered. Obsequious and deluded fol lowers have shouted to the tyrant. Echo, and a bravo have sent it into the ears of freemen. Liberty is startled; our institutions totter, and the hopes of man in a free Government are giving way ! The sources of commerce are dried up— manufactures prostrated— agri- culture droops— internal improvement is checked, if not stopped. The currency— the great supporter of all these when sound— is polluted. Streams are made to flow from corrupted sources over the whole face of the country. What was recently a garden is now a scathed wild. Trade is at a stand ; the labourer s^ eks for employ- ment in vain; the sounds of the axe and the hammer, the trowel and the saw, are scarcely heard in all our borders. Poverty and distress are entering dwellings that were a short time since the abodes of comfort and happiness, and, spreading from family to family, threaten, in a short period, if the course be not speedily arrested, to pervade every city, village, and hamlet in the country. " Where or in what all this will end Heaven only knows. The iron- hearted Monarch called a President, rolling in luxury in his Palace, with his salary of 25,000 dollars a year, cares nothing for it. Perish credit, perish commerce— his malignant will must begratified. Many Members of the Congress are desirous to do something to relieve the people, but the cowards dare not stir a step. In the mean time the panic is spreading and the distress increasing. If Congress adjourn without doing something to restore credit, the country has got to pass through a crisis bordering upon civil war." Governor Marcy's Bill, mortgaging the State of New York to the amount of six millions of dollars, to sustain the Safety Fund Banks, has passed the Senate, and will of course become a law. Whether or no the provisions of the Bill will ever be carried into effect is ano- ther matter, not so easily decided. Since writing the above, New York papers to the 24tli ult. have been received. Of the intelligence contained in them the Morning Post of yesterday gives the following precis:— " The Message and Protest which the PRERIOENT transmitted to the Senate on the 17th of April against the Resolution passed by that Assembly by a majority of 26 out of 4(> Members, condemning his proceedings in respect to the removal of the deposits from the United States Bank, has created the most powerful sensation, and materially increased the excitement which has prevailed for the last six months in every part ofthe Union. Such was the impression made on the public mind that General JACKSON had found it expedient to deny the construction which the words of the document fairly conveyed. He had sent another Message to explain his real meaning, and we insert it, as it comprehends within a narrow compass the gist of his originjil Protest, which would occupy a great portion of our columns had we room to publish it. We also insert the proceedings in the Senate and the House of Representatives, from which it will be per- ceived that the two Chambers are again opposed to each other iu their mode of considering this_ last act of the PRESIDENT. AS we have before stated, the collision between the two branches of the Executive must lead to serious results ; and the commercial panic which has caused the failure of so many banks, and has been produc- tive of such great distress, will, if the differences be not healed, of which there is not the least probability, according to the present prospect of affairs, doubtless lead to important political changes. We find in these Journals great complaints of the corruption existing in the Post Office Department, in which, it is said, alarming defalca- tions have taken place. We recommend all these matters to the con- sideration of the admirers of a republican form of government." It appears that the dreadful accident by which lives were lost, and limbs broken, in Silver- street Golden- square, is entirely attributable to the effect of dry rot upon the poles of the scaffold which gave way. Had those poles undergone the process to which we about a fortnight since referred, no such mischief would ha\ e occurred— and helpless children, and destitute widows, would not now have been deploring the loss of their parents and husbands. On Friday there was a distribution of medals and things at Stinkomalee. Nothing could exceed the splendour of the scene, the gaiety of the ladies' dresses, and, as a coup d'oeil, Lord DURHAM sitting in the cliair, with Lord BROUGHAM on one side of him, and the Duke of SOMERSET on the other. We find the following in the Brighton Gazette:— " We understand that a Gentleman who has come from America to raise subscriptions towards building a place of worship in that country, and who has passed here as a saint of the first water, was overheard the other day making a bargain with a man to convey his goods and luggage from this town to Portsmouth, when the following elegant and pious colloquy ensued:— " SAINT— Come, say, what will you charge for conveying the whole to Portsmouth ? " WAGGONER ( scratching liis head)— I can't say less than ten guineas, sir. " SAINT— I'll see you ten thousand times doubly d d before I'll give it.—( Exit saint in dudgeon.) " We have no doubt of the accuracy of this statement." A correspondent of the Dublin Warder suggests that all the Municipal Commissioners are liable to prosecution for having ad- ministered illegal oaths, and to transportation, in the same way as the Dorchester Unionists have been provided for by Mr. Justice WILLIAMS. The same paper says—" His Majesty's mail steam- packet, from Holyhead, landed in Dublin, on Sunday last, the once celebrated. ARTHUR O'CONNOR, accompanied by his lady, ancl their sua, on a visit to the family estate in the cc/ unty of Cork. Thi* gentleman has long held the rank of a General Officer in the French army, and is married to the daughter of the Marquis CONDORCET, a nobleman early distinguished in the annals of the- French revolution, but whft' fell under the axe of the guillotine." We have been very much amnsed and instructed by a perusal of a work, called " A Glossary and Elymo'ogKal Dictionary of Obsolete and Uncommon Words ;" by Mr. TOONE, the- Barrister, author of the Chronological Historian. The work shows great research and ex- tensive reading, and gives clear and striking definitions of words which men are frequently in the habit of quoting, without entirely understanding their meaning. It is quite worth reading. The most important and interesting portion of the late Mr. KEA. V'S property has been brought to London to be sold by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS. The gold cup presented by the Drury Lane actors; the snuff- box given him by the late Lord BYRON ; his library, and other objects relating to theatrical affairs. Amongst that portion of the public who admired Mr. KEAN'S histrionic talent, there will no doubt be a hot competition for these relics. The remains of the late Earl of BURLINGTON left town on Friday lor interment at Derby. The procession contained the carriages of their MAJESTIES and a number of the nobility. A Court- martial is sitting at Sheerness for the trial of Captain PIGOTT, C. B. The charges are said to be of importance, and are brought forward by Lieutenant WALKER ofthe Albion steam- vessel- The following are the names ofthe Select Committee appointed no Tuesday " to inquire into all the circumstances attending the rejection of the claim by DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, Esq., to be called to the bar, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House:"— Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Abercromby, Mr. Solicitor- General, Mr. Cutlar Fergusson, Sir Robert Peel, Sir William Home, Mr. Sinclair, Colonel Peel, Mr. Hume, Sir Henry Hardinge, Mr. Phillpotts, Mr. Alexander Baring, Mr. Serieant Spankie, Mr. Lennard, Mr. Aglionbv, Mr. Tennyson, Sir John Tyrell, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Hall Dare, Mr." Matthias Attwood, Mr. Robinson, Colonel Evans, Mr. Edward Lytton Bulwer, Mr. Prvme, Mr. Grote, Mr. Rotch, Mr. Wilks, Mr. Hill, and Mr. Halcomb.— To have power to send for persons, papers, and records; and five are to be the quorum. On the motion of SIT J. SCARLETT there is to be laid before the Committee a copy of the certificate of the Benchers of the Inner Temple to the Judges, on the rejection of Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY'S application to be called to the Bar, and of the determination of the Judges upon his appeal, and of the further proceedings that have taken place before the Benchers of the Inner Temple since that period. The yearly meeting of the Quakers is always held this month. An invitation to attend it is expressed in the following terms:,—" To attend on the first fourth day, after the third first day, in the fifth month." A few days ago as some men were engaged in a stone quarry near Chatsworth, they split a huge block, in the centre of which they found a lump of reddish granite, weighing upwards of 701bs, bearing the representation of a calf's head of rude but spirited workmanship! Lady WILLIAM GORDON, who has inherited the Temple- Newsam estates ofthe late Dowager Marchioness of HERTFORD, has directed the sum of ,£ 1000 to be given to the poor of the parish of Whitkirk, as a tribute of affection for the memory of her lamented sister, the late Marchioness. At an interview between a deputation from the Dissenters and Lord ALTHORF, on Saturday, Lord ALTHORP, after expressing his surprise and disappointment that the Government measure had not proved satisfactory to the Dissenters, stated that he con- ceived the concessions made to that body were so liberal that they ought to obtain their approval of the measure, and wished them to understand that he could not feel himself justified in holding out to them any hope of any other measure being brought forward by the Government; and the unanimous opinion of the Deputation, on hear- ing this announcement was, that rather than accept so partial a measure, they would prefer the present state of things. The inter- view then broke up, after having lasted upwards of an hour.— The United Committee of Dissenters met on Monday at Dr. WILLIAMS'S Library, to learn the result of the interview. The resolution they came to, on the particulars being stated, was that of the deputation themselves, namely, rather to continue as they were, than to accept so partial and imperfect a measure as that proposed by Governments They further agreed to recommend to all the Local Committees and Congregations throughout the United Kingdom to get up and for- ward petitions to Parliament immediately, praying for a more libe- ral measure of relief than that of the Government. The most extensive arrangements are making at Oxford for the inauguration festival of the Duke of WELLINGTON. A dejeuner to 1,000 persons will form a prominent feature in the series of enter- tainments, which will continue for five days. The city will be crowded to excess, and five guineas a night have been offered for a single bed. The Duke will reside with the Vice- Chancellor. The Edinburgh Evening Post says:— " A great deal of sounding laudation as been bestowed on the Clerk of the Pipe for the disinterested manner in which he resigned his ugly sinecure. The Hon. Gentleman said in the House of Com- mons that he deserved no credit on this account, as the office was a complete sinecure. A most honest avowal. But it will be recollected that at the last election the Clerk of the Pipe actuallv defended the said sinecure, and declared that there were important duties attached to his office. How do the two statements tally? One or other must be untrue ; and on the horns of this dilemma the Clerk must rest. But the truth is, the whole proceeding has been an electioneer- ing trick. As soon as the Clerk had opened the road to preferment he threw away the Pipe— that Pipe which he had so lately defended — just as a tub to the whale— a sop to Cerberus ! Are the public to be gulled by such disinterestedness? In truth, the whole affair is a mere speculation in the trade of politics, so far as the Clerk of the Pipe is concerned; and as such, we know, it is universally viewed. By a return to the House of Commons, ordered to be printed April 24, 1833, on sinecure offices executed wholly or chiefly by deputy, the Clerk of the Pipe is stated to have been appointed August 21, 1795 ( nearlv forty years ago!) The emoluments for 1829, 30, 31, and 32, were 1,7801. 4s. 3d. Pray, what has Mr. MURRAY done for this ? Was not Mr. MURRAY a minor when he was appointed to tliis sinecure ? And did not his father hold it for many years previously, when he was a Judge of the Court of Session ? Mr. ESCOTT has addressed a letter to the inhabitants of Somerset- shire, in which he says of the Tithe Bill, the Church Rate Bill, and the Poor Law Bill, that " three grosser instances of fraud, incompe- tency, and mischief, were never exhibited to mock the confidence, court the scrutiny, and call for the opposition of the people." Petitions from Members of the Established Church to both Houses of the Legislature against the Bill now before Parliament " for the admission of Dissenters into the Universities" are lying for signature June 159. JOHN BULL. 191 : at Messrs. RIVIXGTON'S, Waterloo- place, and St. Paul's Church- yard. The Danish Government is said to have communicated to foreign Ministers resident at the Court of Copenhagen its reasons for sending liis Royal Highness Prince FREDERICK out of the country, which are not of a nature fit for publication. It is said now that he is to be sent to Jutland as Colonel of a regiment. A divorce between him and his consort, the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 6th of May says, has taken place, but it discredits the report of liis having been declared by the King incapable of succeeding to the Crown. A tumultuous riot took place last Monday at Dunleer, near Drog- heda, where a Court was held for revising tithe memorials. The Assistant Barrister was driven away— several of the clergymen who attended were most contemptuously treated by the populace, and the Court was compelled to adjourn. The return of the number of emigrants that have sailed from Waterford for the British Colonies in North America presents a total of 1,033 for one month. Some disappointment has been experienced at Windsor, in conse- quence of a rowing match between the Westminster and Eton Scholars, from Windsor Bridge to Surly Hall and back, having been put off. It appears that three of the King's Scholars of Westminster who were to have contended had been previously called to Oxford; and it having come to the ears of the Master of Westminster School that the gentlemen alluded to were about to engage in a rowing match, he spoke to the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and in consequence of that very Reverend and very unpopular Gentleman's ungracious interference, the gentlemen were obliged to relinquish the match. The following are the provisions of Mr. HESKETH FLEETWOOD'S new Sunday Bill:— 1. It repeals several old statutes relating to the observance of the Sabbath, and proceeds to consolidate and simplify the laws on that subject. 2. It permits all sorts of travelling, the conveyance of goods by land and water, the keeping open of coffee- shops, pastry- cooks, fruit- sellers, and cook- shops, except during the hours of divine service. 3. It prohibits the keeping open of fin- shops, tobacconists, and what is called Sunday trading generally ; but it permits the licensed victuallers to remain open, except during the hours of divine service. 4. It interferes with no amusement heretofore lawful on Sunday; and in fact recognizes and sanctions everything in accordance with the habits of the people. 5. It directs that the shops of newsvenders shall be closed at ten o'clock *, but permits the sale and hire of papers at the houses of their customers throughout the day, except during hours of divine service. 6. Tt prohibits the pursuit of ordinary labour, " of the nature of handicraft, manufacture, or trade;" but, bv allowing all the usual amusements of the Sunday, it permits the labour necessary thereto. 7. It does not interfere with baking, at least so far as the cookery of the humbler classes is concerned. There can be as little objection to this Bill, as there is necessity for its enactments; everything it contains is to be found in other statutes already in force. FRESH PROVISIONS.— The brig Pursuit, Captain ALEXANDER, sailed from Aberdeeen on Thursday week for New York with about seventy passengers. In the course of the forenoon two casks, said to contain fresh provisions, were put on board; but on being opened after the vessel had left the quay, they were found to contain, " snugly packed," one emigrant each, who, no doubt, had particular reasons for taking this mode of embarkation. We find the following in the Aberdeen Journal:— " A HOT CONTEST.— The following election anecdote is so charac- teristic, so excellent, and comes to us oil such authority that we cannot withhold it from our readers :— Mr. G— h— m having in the course ofhis canvass called to solicit the vote of a farmer in the county, was told that he could not get it. ' Why so, John ?' said Mr. G. ' Just, because I'm to gie't to Sir George.' ' Oh, John, you went with Lord Ormelie last time; surely you will go with me on this occasion.' ' Na, troth, I winna do that.' ' You may go to h— 11, then,' said the candidate. ' Mr. G— h— m,' says John, with the utmost composure,' that may be a pollin' place of yours, but its nae ane of Sir George's.' " Among other election on dits, it is confidently said that prepara- tions had been going on at Lynedoch for the celebration of Mr. GRAHAM'S expected success, by a dinner and entertainment on laTge scale. Wood for a bonfire was also, it is said, prepared— like the joke itself, cut and dry for the occasion. Great preparations are being made in the interior of Westminster Abbey for the approaching Grand Musical Festival, and the saw and the hammer are to be heard from morning to night. Already tiers of seats have been raised along the side aisles of the Cathedral as high as the windows, and every possible place where the eye or the ear can obtain pleasure will be made available. Two addi- tional entrances are being made for the occasion; one is between the north transept and the western extremity of the Abbey, and the other is under the south- west angle of the cloisters, and enters the opposite side of the Abbey. The entrance is by a flight of covered steps leading to one of the great windows, from which a sufficient portion of the frame work is removed to form a door- way. A letter of the 3d inst. from Rodelheim, near Frankfort, says:— " We had yesterday and to- day, a most extraordinary phenomenon of nature. During very heavy showers of rain, which fell yesterday from half- past eleven till twelve, and to- day between twelve and one o'clock, the water contained so great a mixture of sulphur that as it ran down the streets it was covered with a yellow crust, and quantities of sulphur might be scraped off the pavement."

At a meeting of Clergy and other inhabitants of Bath, oil Thursday, a petition against the admission of Dissenters to the L'niversities, was unanimously adopted. The Mayor of Bath contended that the coercive interference of the Legislature in the management of the Universities, would, in the present instance, he an act of the grossest intolerance, inasmuch as it would be depriving the Church of that privilege which every other denomination of Christians enjoyed— that of the exclusive education of its own Clergy and Members. A superbly handsome silver salver has been presented to the Rev. JAMES UEAHN, by the inhabitants of the united parishes of Staines, Ashford, and Lalcham. The following inscription is engraved in the centre:—" Presented to the Rev. James Hearn, by the inhabitants of Staines, Ashford, and Laleham, as a token of affection, and as a testimony of their approbation of liis conduct during a residence of 17 years. 1834. PRAYER- BOOK AND HOMILY SOCIETY.— The twenty- second Anni- versary Meeting of this Society was held on Thursday last. The Secretary stated that 2,585 ships had been visited in the port of London alone, upwards of 10,000 Prayer books and 7,000 Homilies had been disposed of amongst our vessels, and it had been estimated that upwards of 6,000 vessels had been visited by the agents of the Society in other ports, of which 2,000 had been m Liverpool alone. The total number of books distributed during the year had been 13,000, and the number of Tracts 80,000. There had been a most important increase in the amount of 1he Society's funds, including a munificent donation from Mr. STEVENSON, of 6751. in the Three per Cent. Consols, and between 4001. and 5001. in legacies. The total receipts were 2,6281.16s. 4d ; the expenditure 2,6821.15s. 9d. The Visitation of the Venerable It. F. ONSLOW, Archdeacon of Worcester, was held at St. Helen's Church in that city, on Wednes- day last. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. J. PHILLPOTTS, who illustrated in a particularly clear and admirable manner the practical nature of that confessedly mysterious but great and leading doctrine of Revelation, the Trinity of persons in the Godhead. The Archdeacon then addressed the Clergy at considerable length: he touched on most of the topics of ecclesiastical interest in agitation at the present day ; and concluded a very able charge, by exhorting the Clergy to be " strong" in the fervent hope that the same good Provi- dence which had hitherto protected the Church throughout so many and so great dangers that had in various periods of our history assaulted her, " would yet deliver," and would not suffer her foes to triumph over her; and m the most solemn manner he entreated the Clergy, above all things, to " take lieed to themselves and to their doctrine," and by thus " walking worthy of their high calling" to bring down a blessing upon themselves, upon the Church, and upon their country. LYNN.— On Wednesday^ last, the Bishop of ROCHESTER, in the place of our Venerable Diocesan, who is prevented from his great age to discharge certain duties, held his Visitation in this town, on which occasion a most able sermon was delivered at St. Nicholas' Chapel by the Rev. J. BREIIETON, of Massingham, to a large attend- ance of Ministers and others of the Establishment On Tuesday last a meeting of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Huntingdon, was held at the Town- Hall, pursuant to requisition, when petitions to. the two Houses of Parliament against the Bill now pending for the admission of Dissenters into the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, were unanimously agreed upon. The following form of a Parochial Petition has been drawn np, and is recommended tor adoption by all friends of the Church :• To tile Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, " The humble petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the parish of , in the county of > " SHEWETH",— That your petitioners view with great alarm the violent attacks now made upon the Established Church; and beg leave most respectfully to approach your Lordships, for the purpose of imploring your protection from the dangers which threaten it. " Your petitioners firmly believe that the present demands of many of those who dissent from the established religion are such a* s endanger the safety, if not the very existence of the National Church. " The demands to which your petitioners in particular refer are the following:— That Dissenters may be released from the payment of Church Rates ; that their Ministers may have a right to officiate in the Church- yard of every parish ; that Dissenters may be entitled to become Members of any College, and to be admitted to Degrees in the LTniversities of Oxford and Cambridge. " With regard to Church Rates, your petitioners humbly submit that these rates are not a charge upon persons at all, but a rent- charge upon property itself. And your petitioners cannot understand upon what principle of justice persons can seek to remove from their own property a charge, subject to which they acquired and hold it, and to fix such charge upon the property of others. " Your petitioners object also to the claim made on the part of Dissenting Ministers to officiate in Parish Church- yards; inasmuch as the Church- yards have been solemnly set apart for the pions ceremonial and service of the Established Church only. And your petitioners maintain that the introduction of Dissenting' Ministers to officiate in Church- yards would be an intrusion upon the rights of the Church, and would lead to strife and contention. " And lastly, your petitioners protest against the change proposed to be made in the constitution of the Universities; since if Dissenters be admitted into the Colleges and to Degrees your petitioners are convinced that the Universities would then be no longer plaees of sound religions education; and the connection at present subsisting between the Universities and the Established Church will be neces- sarily destroyed:. " Your petitioners therefore humbly and most earnestly pray yonr Right Honourable House to resist these several claims which yonr petitioners so strongly deprecate ; and to continue to preserve inviolate all the rights and privileges of the Established Church and the Universities, so that., through their means, true religion may, under the blessing of God, contimw? to be spread throughout the land. " And your petitioners will ever pray, tfec." Small 8vo. 10s. fid. THE SECOND SERIES of GLEANINGS in NATURAXt HISTORY.— By EDWARD JESSE, Esq.

The Consol market has been very buoyant until within the last day or two, when there was considerable heaviness, and the quotation declined to 92) 4 M, at which it closed. In the Foreign market there is not much to notice. The Settlement of the Account took place on Wednesday, and passed over without defalcation. Since then, the fluctuation has been very unimportant. Portuguese Bonds are 78% 7s, Spanish 35V and Belgian 98> » . The general appearance of the market is heavy : Russian Stock left off at 105M 106, and Brazilian at 75)£ to 76. 3 per Cent.

On Wednesday the Bill introduced by Ministers," in consequence of the late Republican movement, for punishing persons having arms and ammunition in their possession without a licence, or assisting in the erection of barricades, gave rise to a stormy debate in the House of Deputies, which was adjourned to the following day. Both Houses are expected to be prorogued by Louis Philippe in person on the 29th of the present month. Fresh successes are claimed for the Carlist arms in the north of Spain; and it is said that Zumalacarreguy has again defeated Quesada. There has been some fighting in the neighbourhood of Mondrajon, and the report is that Quesada has been obliged to aban- don his position at Logrono, and that his antagonist had gone after El Pastor, to attack him. The German papers complain of the movements of the Poles in different parts of Germany, where they evidently are exciting much uneasiness. Some serious disturbances have broken out in Bavaria, but the Government has succeeded in quelling them. It is said that a plot was discovered for the assassination of all the German Princes. PARISH OF ST. MARYLEBONE.— The respectable rate- payers of this parish, who are disposed to check the disgraceful increase of Radi- calism, will do well not to neglect giving their vote for the Gothic Hall list of vestrymen, on the 21st, 22d, and 23d of May, at the polling places appointed in each district. The home troops were reviewed yesterday morning, in the pre sence of the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and their Royal relatives, the Princes of Leiningen. Notwithstanding the somewhat unfavourable state of theweaiher, the Park was crowded with spectators, who, with the Royal party, were delighted with the perfection with which the military performed various of the most difficult manoeuvres. A County meeting for the eastern division of Kent is to be held on Monday, to take into consideration Lord Althorp's Tithe Bill. The Kent Herald says, " It- is arranged by the leaders of the Liberal party that a proposition for the total abolition of tithes will be submitted to the meeting, either as a substantive motion or as an amendment on any proposal of Lord Althorp's Bill." The proprietors of the Vauxhall Gardens are at this time most actively engaged in preparations for its intended opening on Wed- nesday week next, the 28th inst.. DUNGARVON ELECTION.— At the close of the poll on the second day, the numbers were, for Mr. Jacob, 227 ; for Mr. Baron 203; leaving a majority of 24 on the gross poll for the repeal candidate. On Wednesday the third day, at one o'clock, Mr. Jacob had gained considerably upon his opponent, having then a majority of 48, and the polling bad been very languid on both sides all the morning. HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.— During the last few days diarrhoea has been unusually prevalent, and there is reason to apprehend, from the early appearance of this disease, that cholera may again visit us. Bowel complaints are common at. the end of summer or be- ginning of autumn, but are very rare in May. The disease now prevalent is preceded by indigestion, languor, and lassitude, sinking at the pit of the stomach, and great debility; in fact, the symptoms which preceded cholera in 1832 and 1833. Ordinary remedies arrest it, and timely application is indispensable. Regularity of living, nutritious diet, and moderate mental and corporeal exertion are the best preventives. Vegetable food, more especially salads, lettuce, etc., ought to be lisecfsparingly, if at all.— Med, and Surg. Journ. OLD BAILEY— SATURDAY. CURIOUS CASE.— Alexander Watkins was indicted for having, on the 4th of March, stolen ten sovereigns from the shop of Richard Tilfer, a hosier, living in New- street, Covent- garden. The prisoner declared his innocence of the theft, and called rhos. Brown, turnkey of Newgate, who swore that a person was confined in Newgate, named Lindsey, so like in appearance to the prisoner, that a person might mistake the one for the other.— Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, stated that Lindsey, who was charged with a similar offence, much resembled the'prisoner; he had mistaken the two men in the gaol himself.— The Jury having expressed a wish to see Lindsey, in a few minutes he was placed at the bar with the prisoner, and both men were scrutinized very closely by the Court. They put on their hats and exchanged places. There was certainly a general likeness, but upon a closer examination there appeared a difference in their complexions. Lindsey, addressing the Court, said he often wore a coat like that worn by the other prisoner, and he did not wish to see another suffer'on his account.— Mr. Justice Vaughan stopped Lindsey by saying he could not be allowed to go on and give evidence in the case.— Mr. Phillips: Then, my Lord, you have mistaken one for the other. ( Laughter.)— Mr. Justice Vaughan: No, indeed, I have not, for I knew him after they had changed places, although I did not see them change.— Mr. Phillips then observed that, being a convict, he could not call Lindsey to give evidence for the prisoner.— In answer to a question from the foreman of the Jury, it was stated that Lindsey had been in custody since the 15th of April.— The prosecutor being again called, said, that, after seeing the two men, he had no doubt as to the prisoner being the man who stole the sovereigns from his shop.—' 1 he Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.— The prisoner was again placed at the bar, charged with stealing in the dwelling- house of Messrs. Bull and Wilson, linen- drapers, residing at 93, St. Martin's- lane, eight sovereigns, their monies. Whilst the first witness was being examined, the prisoner withdrew his former plea of Not Guilty, ana pleaded Guilty.
