THE MINI 8 TBY . The change -wikh ma no longer t o be postponed aft ^ 'tto division of Sat tfrflfcy ijnflrniag baa , been conscmmated : the Whig Ministers aas ^ asoed their resig xn&onin 'both Heases efTParHaaient on Monday j and the < iblefpart of Sir Robert' Peers Government ha * been submitted to the Qaeen , -approved , and publicly acnonnced . So terminates the Whig Administration ; "Without any tf that fearful tannoll at Court whieh was threatened cb the retirement of tide Whigs . All has passed off m smoothly as- any drawing-room ceremony : there is bo more tall of tbe Queen * personal or political aversions ; the Qneen waa the best of "VThiga \ rith the old Court Journals—in the new Court journals she is the Ixsl of Tories .
The readers of the Spectator have been folly-prepared for this change , at least sinoe the promulgation of the Budget They ¦ will not be surprised or disappointed at tbe cast of the new drama wkich now opens . The Ministry , or &s much of it as is yet before us , is composed of such materials u "were vxestlUe to the new Premier—of the leading men among his party - . he had » o more extended choice . Within that limit , the selection has been upon the whole judicious , and the distribution of offiees discreet : altogether care has been taken to avoid intrusting offices to men notoriously unfit , or plating men In power where their nt « re names jnight hare created alarm . At firs ) there was some surmise of Sir Robert Peel uniting two offiees , according to precedent , and being both Premier and Chancellor of the
BtchequBr : the actnal arrangement is perhaps better , though many would hare preferred Peel to Goulbarn , < B the principle of the first man -of the party to the most difficult office . Th » mere dry office-business of tbs Finanee Minister , indeed , will be Quite scffideat to occupy one head , though it were the beet that could fee-found- Bren in thatnatter of nnaae * the chief Minister will be all the more efficient for having hia attention free front-details . - Itat the-division or offices & yet more important as an earnest that Sir Robert P « el means to keep himself disengaged in the performance of bis chief function as the director of the whole—that he intends to give the country what it has lacked for many a year , an acting Prime Minister . That 1 b a policy which , thoroughly earned out , msy go fax
to supply the- defects inherent in the materials -which be can command . The " country , " that is the consti tnenciftg , bare transferred the power of Government from its late holders , not to the party of gentlemen who haTe consented to be Sir Robert Peel ' s , coadjutors —cot even , it may be gathered from the thonsand passing remarks of the election-days , to the Duke of Wellington—but t » Sir Robert Peel and fce none other : by retaining to himself , therefore , a complete mastery Of his Cabinet , he will the better fulfil the expectation at " the country ; " and at the same time he will be better able to perform his difficult task ' than if he * eposed any share of bis power in the hands of men With Tarying views , in many cases , probably , nay , inevitably , less discreet than his own .
The new Minister ' s aeld of labour is now before him ; bis tools are in his hand . He enters upon the task , he ¦¦ ays , with confidence , but with an awful sense of responsibility . In both particulars he is right He never had to much power as he has at this moment : rivals have died off , become superannuated , ccr been outgrown by fcia own increasing reputation : he has gained additional tnfloflTMft by the refusal of place burdened with derogatory conditions , in 1 S 3 7 , and by the more popular dispositions which he has exhibited in the interval—the Teekle&s and eager of his own party fear him more , the people less . He never had such opportunity : for he has to satisfy a people who have been satiated with promisee in proportkra ai they have been starved in deeds . He never had so noch difficulty : for it Is not party excitement with which be has now to deal , but with a country ' s ruin or salvation , amidst large and imminent dangers and powerful conflicting interests . He
never had so much expected of him -. he succeeds to a Ministry who h * ve accustomed the people to the expec tation ef political advancement , to the exercise of popular power , and to deference from the " constituted authorities ; " and he has himself boasted of what the •* Conservative" party , his own creation , can do—how they are to reconcile the popular appetite for improvement with the old affection for existing forms and institations . He proclaims , and common sense anticipated -the proclamation , that the old Tory rule is not to be restored—it has passed » way for ever . The decade of Wiig role , with ail its brilliant intentions and all its weaknesses , is likewise closed . The " Conservative " party , the sew invention in politics , heir to the virtues bet not to the vices of the Tories , now claims to try its band at setting straight all that is out of joint in the world . The people look . on , not without solicitude , to see the characters wkich are to be first inscribed in the new Wank page of history . —Spettsior ,

LAW OF LIBEL . Our attention has been directed to a trial at the last Sussex Summer Assizes , which shews , in a high degree , the peculiarities of the English Law of LibeL That it la an instrument , facile vn its application and terrible in its powers , wielded at the will or caprice of judges and juries;—and yet its penalties are capable of being easily withheld against the force of apparent justice , when they might conduce to the protection of a man , not for any conceivable reason , but simply because he m » y happen to be of & class which it is customary for both Whigs and Tories to vilify and misrepresent The Hall of Jastice is to be degraded from its uses ;—reason feiumphed over by prejudice—the judgment seat , in fact -vacated , —when a favourable opportunity presents Itself to hurl one more shaft of invective against the
Chartist *; oi to rouse the prejudices of the ignorant , or the cupidity of the unprincipled , in opposition to their Just requirements . Yet such exhibitions ap ^ e * . r to us decidedly ¦ unfair in more than one respect , —none can reply to charga of this description—they come with weight and authority , sanctioned by the influence of high office , upon the minds of auditors , previously in-Earned by means of appeal to their selfish natures , to a pitch of violence , sufficient to exclude any idea ef a calm or temporal exercise of the "batter powers of humanity—the intellect and conscience . Our readers will property appreciate our remarks when we point out briefly the principal facts of the case abvove alluded to . It seems the Chartists of Brighton , who from our own knowledge , comprise in their body men of the strictest
integrif / , some time since sent a deputation of three respectable individuals to wait upon one Barnes , at that time high com-able of the town , with a requisition signed by eighty electors , and forty ratepayers , for convening a public meeting to take , into ccmideraiism the propriety of an addre « S"to the Queen on behalf of Fro 3 t , Williams , and Jones . This " servant of the public , " after a delay , thought preper to reject the application , and of course , the three retired . A few days elapse , and the Brighten Herald , a Whig paper of narrow views , puts forth a l&ranliDg article about the " silly presumption "' — " absurd proceedings "—and " signal defeat" of the Chartists— magnifying the three peaceable persons we have spoken of into a tumulruoas hundred , and concluding a tirade of
cntrutiis by affirming that ilr . Gay , ( one of the dtpatatM * v ° the use of the Town Hall being-refused , had declared " they would come up in a body ; and if blood was required they would die man by man to see who were masters . "' To make matters worse , on being applied to for a refutation of this calumny , the Editor of the Brighton Herx . d , published a supplementary one , by con £ nning- it . The injured person then thought propfct to appeal to the laws of bis country . in the usual parlance , for rtdiess . In court he duly proved bis case by establishing the falsehood of the Yibei . His witnesses , however , were cross-examined by the opposing counsel , the Tory Platt , in this manner— " Have you seen Gay at any of the meetings to do away -vritL
kins and laws ? Now mind—did not Gay attend the last Chartist meeting ? " The inference wished "to be deduced is obvious ; and when in his address foi the defence , he took occasion to say of the Chartists . of whom the plaintiff was one ) that if such opinions as were held by them got abroad " they the jury ; might As well abandon the laud at once , foi safety in their houses would be out of the question , and what they had heaped up for their children , or had themselves received front their father ? , would go in a seneral division of plunder . " Ho one , -we are convinced , can fail to perceive the connection of ideas foisted on the jtiry , when we consider of -what materials it -was doubtless formed '
And yet this is tie way educ-ited nen , in the face of ' . broad daylight , before FtstU 3 and Agrippa , dare to lie 5 and libel men whose aspirations consort , most strictly , j with nothing but natural justice ; who only seek the i enjoyment of an inherent right—a voice in the govern- j ment that rules over them . , ' From the counsel we must proceed to the judge j Here we have little te do but extract from his summing i np—our readers may itnagirj& the only e * mments he eoold make . He commences by remarking that— " The < libel alluded to that tnost wicked outrage on the public i peace , which took place in the town of Newport some i time ago ; and if it was necessary for hirn to enter into i that question , or to make any observations to the jury , ( either upon the object , the mode , or the consequences ! t £ the conduct pursued by those persons who were called Chartists , he should haTe no difficulty in giving his opinion upon the subject . Bnfc he thought he was not called upon to do so . " [ Here we might pause to
Kk why the political opinions of the judge should be thus thrust forward in bis official capacity ? They , at Least , were nothing to the case and could not excuse the inuendo given-j " The libel itself sufficiently describes their general objects and tendency ; and the jury would learn from it whether Mr . Fleet could poeedbly be justified in making the insinuations * bteh he had made upon Mr . Gay . " He then—oa Qte bench—proceeds : * ' Thai the Gha'tists , throughout this article , were spoken of with the corUempi they dexned , no person aotUd dottbi . The object of the newspaper writer was to express that opinion . He evidently considered the Chartists as nuisanees , sot only dangerous but cc&tenipiible . " 3 Bastes qnsrtioa was—the judge rightly stated—^ Whetbir invidious slander on Mr . Gay was the : nt « Q . ^ llijfc jj infce newspaper-writer under covert of political " ~** t frww attributed U Mi .

Gay ? Had h « attempted to show that Gay did say so ? On the contrary , he gave up the attempt
Tb « law , the jndge perfectly knew waa one way , bat the remit of this trial , many would say , depended in a great measure on what colouring the wtote Charttit body held in the view of the jary . He concludes , that 5 fr . Fleet had made ( he imputation against M * . Gay , of the latter having used absurd and desperate language—language for which certainly Botntegcoald atone . The imputation was made , loo , wilhoxi arty proof ; and therefore they must assume thai the language had not been toed . If , then , they considered that the imputation was Hiade from bobjo improper motive , they would find a verdict for the plaintiff , with swh temperate damages , for he could noi adviss them to go to any great extent , as would be commensurate with the injury necessarily resulting from an unfounded Imputation . With regard to the definition . « f libel , be would just observe that every thing which tended "" to vilify or disparage a >* " in the estimation of others , was libellous . "
After this charge , which we must , however , confess does not lose sight of the question at issue , can it be wondered at that notwithstanding its oonclnsion , " the jury , after deliberating for about two minutes , returned a verdict for the defendant . " So little , however , did the verdict appear to satisfy the plain jugtlce of the case , that after it bad been returned , Mr . Theajger applied on the part ef the plaintiff for a verdict on bis behalf , " on the second and third issues , on the ground , that the defendant had offend no evidence in support of his plea of justification ! " The Jedge granted the application !—English Chartist Circular .

UNITED JOURNEYMEN HATTERS' JOINT STOCK COMPANY , ESTABLISHED AT DEN TON , MAY 1840 . We have received a long account and various documents relative to the formation and objects of this society , from which we learn with great pleasure that the doctrine which we have been for years and years endeavouring to inculcate ppon the attention of the working classes , iB beginning to be not only appreciated but acted upon . We are sensible that nothing will more conduce to the welfare of the industrions millions than the formation of companies , Tfhich will have the means of distributing the wealth of which thej are the producers , in such manner as Ehall ensure to them the fruits of their own skill and
industry , instead of letting all such fruits go into the pockets of the grasping capitalist , and the tyrannical employers , ana we strongly advise all trade ' s unions , when compelled to resort to what is called a strike , to act as the journeymen hatters are now doing ; thus , instead of wasting their resources in useless opposition , and becoming at length the victims of a system which it has cost them so many privations to resist , they may give employment to those whom the despotic employer would deprive of bread , and make the gold-gorged monsters feel in the only place where they can feel—their pockets—b y the taxing from them their retail tradej the impolicy and injostiee of the conduct which they have so long pursued with a gainful impunity , and a reckless disregard to the comfort or happiness of their fellow
men . Many of our readers are aware that a turn out of the journeymen hatters in Manchester Denton , Oldham , and Stockport , took place in February last , which continued fifteen weeks , and at length terminated after a sacrifice of £ 5 , 001 , in the men being compelled , by want , to submit to the terms dictated by their employers . The poet of nature has said , " From this nettle danger , well pluck this flower Birfety , " and so we may Bay , that from the perseverance of despotism , the people are at length beginning to see the necessity of beeominc independent . These noble fellows who have eaffered so much have b « gun to tarn their late privations to good account , and have bethought them that in order to be *; the capitalists they must
become capitalists themselves ; and the consequence has been that a Joint Stock Company has oeen forme'd b y which work , instead of money ^ will be given to those thrown out of employment , by which habits of frugality and industry will be fostered and maintained , and the labour of honest men being brought into the market , the working classes will , by an interchange ef the various productions of their own industry , support their own order , and stop the supplies which have so long been the life-blood and nourishmenv of their rascally oppressors . Well is it remarked by the journeymen natters , in a hand bill announcing the opening of shops in Hyde * nd Manchester , for the purpose of supplying the people of these extensive districts with a well-made article at a reasonable price : —
" VTe would inform you , that this Establishment has not been opened with the same view as all others , viz ., realising Profit from you , but for the purpose o ) protecting ourselves from many of our over-avaricious employers . " It is not to our interest to give you hats that are not well worth what you pay foi them } for if we cheat you , you will not purchase from us again , whereas it is our interest to sell quantity , so that a many of ourselxxt may be employed . We have placed a preventive check against fraud on the part of all our salesmen , by placing on the tips of all our hats their price . Working Men , we particularly call upon you to rapport us , for we are of Your Order , and it is from you that we look for support , and we doubt not bat you will render it to us . "
There is a fact connected with the recent strike which is well worth the attention of the industrious classes in every department of productive labour ( for masters in ail trades are pretty much alike ) as it tends to snow in a striking point of view the principle by which those cormorants are actuated . For months before the strike , those geuuine descendants of the " danghthera of the horse leech , " whose constant cry is " give , give , " had been accumulating stock until , as they supposed , they had got into a position in which they migut make a covert and crafty ^ nt deadly , attack upon the Trades'Uuion , causing them to eat up their funds , and thus reduce themselves to the necessity of yielding to accept their starvation price . Having thus laid their scheme ,
those worthies met together , and formed a combination Cmasters may combine to starve their workpeople , but the industrious bees must not combine to protect their homy from the wasps or the drones , such combinations are i * them illegal J , the first fruits of ¦ which "unholy alliance" was the turning four thousand of their nands out of employment the very nes » morning . This looks so nuch like a conspiracy against the rights of labour , that we cannot for o- ^ ir lives persuade ourselves that it was anything les 3 . Bat the rassals did not stop here in their kindness and desire to promote the welfare of those who by their tender mercies had been put upon low diet , they determined to bleed them too , if by any means they could
induce them to put themselves iuto the way of that healthful operation . So the streets were filled with a species of animal , called by the vulgar , policemen , but whose proper designation is town and country surgeon dentists , appointed by the Royal College of Hell Doctors , and furnished with cases of newly invented surgical instruments , ( called bludgeons and cutlasses , ) for drawing the teeth and opeaing the vein 3 of that refractory old gentleman , Mr . John Bull . The lads , however , were wide awake to the trick , and the gentlemen of the profession could not find a job . We sincerely hope that the noble fellows who have thus , dared to beard the monster , Capital , even in hia
BtWHgholds , -will meet with the support their conduct so justly merits from their fellow operatives of every trade throughout the country . We trust that those working men who can afford a new hat will feel it a disgrace to purchase one which has not come from the Joint Stock Hatters' Company ' s warehouses , and we hope also that every branch of trade will follow the example thus nobly begun . Let this plan be but carried out , and a change will be effected of the most salutary character . In a comparatively snort time , the political rights of the people will be obtained . We shall get the Charter , and then onward—onward to prosperity and happiness .
Iu order to aid those who may be desirous of forming similar Companies in other trades , we subjoin the following proposed regulations of the Company , as agreed upon at Ashton-under-Lyne , on the 26 th of April , 1841 , and to which we beg to invite the particular attention of all our readers : —

IMPORTANT TO COLLIERS-THE TABLES TURNED ! BOLTON PETTF SESSIONS , Mosdat . Before J . Ridgway , J . Fletcher , J . R . Barnes , Esq ., and the Rev . J . S . Birley . Malicious Iiuuky . —Colliers' TuRK-ocT . —Richd . Yates , Robert Yates , David Yates the younger , James Brooks , Wm . Halliwell , and James Nuttall , colliers , lately in the employ of Mr . Them . Fletcher , at ToQge-lane Pit , Little Lever , appeared to answer a charge of having done injury to a boiler-house at the pit , by an explosion of gunpowder . Mr . Glover appeared , for the prosecution , and Mr . Halsall , of Sliddleton , f « r the defence . J . Fletcher , Esq ., who is concerned in collieries , declined adjudicating ,
leaving the case with the other magistrates . Mr . Glover having stated the case , called Thomas Seacombe , who stated : I am engineer at Mr . Thos . Fletcher ' s pit , in Tonge-lane , and was in his employ on the 13 th August instant ; 1 left the pit at eight o ' clock on that evening , and all was then safe ; on my return , at a quarter to six on the following morning , I found that all the brick-work about the boiler had been blown away ; 1 found a piece of a bottle on looking about , which I believe had contained gunpowder ; I could sinell gunpowder from it . ( The piece of bottle was produced , and appeared to be a portion of a large thick stone bottle . ) I know the prisoners at the bar ; they worked for Mr . Fletcher , but left about three weeks ago , in
consequenoe of a dispute about wages . Mr . Fktcher has taken other men in their places , and this has created great dissatisfaction in the neighbourhood . I believe that the explosion was made by gunpowder , and in no other way . By Mr . Halsall—Defendants have worked some years for Mr . Fletcher , and 1 have not heard anything agaiast them before . Richard Barlow , of Little Lever , pavior , was then called , but refused to be sworn , observing , " I cannot swear to ' em . " On being informed that he was only required to speak the truth , and that if he refused to do so he would be committed , he at length , although reluctantly , consented . He then stated—On the 13 th Aug . inst ., I was on my way home , about half-past ten o ' clock at night , and on arriving
at the toll-bar in Bradley , not far distant from the pit , and I saw five men , whom I believed to be the three Yates ' s , Brook , and Halliwell ; I did not Bee Nuttall ; one came up U me , I believe it was Richard Yates , and tapped me on the shoulder , and said I had better go as far as our Jacob ' s , or old Harry ' s , instead of up Bradley-lane . Jacob is my brother , and "Old Harry" is my father-in-law ; they did not say my life would be in danger if I went up Bradley-lane ; I told the police I thought it would ; Bradley-lane is to the right , and leads to the collieries , and our Jacob ' s is to the left ; I went as directed , and finding the door fast , 1 sat down on the flag , aad having two or three lucifer matches in my pocket , I lighted my pipe and began to smoke ; in abomt a quarter of an hour I heard a noise , as of
a watchman ' s rick , and it came from somewhere facing the engine ; our Jacob ' s is about a quarter of a mile from the pit ; in about a quarter of an hour after I heard the rick I observed a flish of light , aud heard a report louder than that of a gun ; on the following morning I saw the damage done to the engine-house ; about three or four days before that I was at the Robin Hood beer-house , kept by David Yates , the father of one of the prisoners , and Baw there James Nuttall , Richard Yates , and David Yates , jun ., seated on a sofa ; there was no one olso in the room ; I heard Richard Yates say , " How would 31 b . of powder do , put in a bottle ! " Nuttall swore and said , " Six or seven lbs . well corked up , I think that would do it . " I did not hear them 6 a y anything about throwing vitriol on the ropes ; I have not said so before ; I did not bear them say anything about -: ome lines belne lost that week . By Mr .
Halsall— i did not think much about it ; 1 thought the powder might be for blasting ; I do not think much about it yet ; I will not swear it was Richard Yates who tapped me on the shoulder ; it was a dark night ; I had had a sup of drink that night , but I was not very forward ; I had been at the Nag ' s Head ; I know Horrocks , the constable of Ainsworth , but I did not see him there there that night ; I left the Nag ' s Head about three minutes before ten o ' olock , and had to walk a quarter of a mile ; I believe I left then on my own accord ; will swear no one put me out ; I do not remember lying upou the road ; cannot remember that I was lifted up , and any one saying they lifted me up would tell lies ; if my nephew says he lifted me up ne tells lies ; I had not five quarts that day ; aw dar say awd abeawt four ; but aw know'd what aw wur doin \ ( Laughter . ) I did not tell my niece on the following morning that I had done it myself .
Mr . HalBa . ll , in defence , to gave the time of the court , wished to know if it wer » necessary to call any witnesses ; if so , he could prove by a host of persons that Barlow knew nothing about it ; that he could not possibly know anything about it ; and that the parties were innocent . The Magistrates , after conferring together , direeted the defence to go on . Mr . Halsall then addressed them and callea Isaac HorrockB , constable of Ainsworth , who stated : —! saw Richard Barlow at the lt * a > * HaoH

AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOUSE NOT HIS CASTLE ! A good deal of interest was excited by an investigation , which was concluded last week at the Mansion House , before the Lord Mayor , who presided when the subject was first brought to the notice of the city authorities . Sergeant-Vale , of the city police establishment , a man of respectable character , was charged by Mr . Flexton , the . gwnex of a beerahop , at No . 8 , Milee ' s-lane , with having exceeded the duty of a policeman in searching his ( complainant ' s ) house at an unseasonable hour , and without any reasonable cause .
Mz . Ashley ( solicitor to the complainant ) stated that the case was one of considerable importance , inasmuch as , if the course pursued by the defendant were to be supported by the magistracy , the citizens of London would be subject to the most tyrannical annoyances and insults . He then stated the circumstances , as they were subsequently detailed by the witnesses . Henry Harrison , servant to' the complainant , deposed that a gentleman and a female , both strangers to him , came to the house on Wednesday evening , at about half-paat ten o ' clock , walked into the parlour , and called for a pint of ale . Witness served them , and in about a quarter of an hour they called for another , and soon afterwards the woman walked hastily out of the house . The gentleman , when she had left the door , came to the bar , and asked which way his companion had gone , and witness mentioned the way he supposed she had taken , upon
which the gentleman declared it was false , and that witness knew her , and that she had robbed him ( the gentleman ) of a shirt pin . On the same night the gentleman came again , bringing with him a policeman , but did nothing . On Thursday morning , however , at six o ' clock , witness saw defendant and another policeman at the door , and was informed by them that they came to search the house . After the door was opened , the defendant insisted upon going up stairs to search the rooms , witnesB expostulating against the intrusion . The complainant also denied the right of the polico to go up stairs and search the house without a warrant , aud asked the defendant to show his authority . Defendant merely pointed to the figures on his collar , and said that it waa his warrant . The defendant wished the accuser to be as candid as possible , and assured the Lord Mayor that he had waited a reasonable time , during which every one in tho house might have been dressed . The witness did not deny that reasonable time was
given . Mr . J . Lamb , a young man of very respeotable appearance , stated that he was a lodger in tho compiainant ' s house for two years . He slept in a doublebedded room , in which another person also slept , and they were quite astonished to see policemen forcing their wr . y in . When they heard the nwse of the visitors on the stairs , witness desired his companion not to let them in without the production of a search-warrant , but tho door waa injudiciously opened , and in they walked . Witness told them that it' they had a warrant , they might examine all his property , and the defendant pointed at his collar , and answered in a tone of authority the most insulting aud disgusting .
Sergeant Vale said that his conduct had been misrepresented by the witnesses , for he had conducted himself with temper and forbearance , and had not been guilty of any violation of his duty as a member of the police . The fact w » s that he observed a gentleman , who stated his name to be Edward Brown and mentioned his address , watching the house at a very early hour in the morning , aud upon inquiry learned from him that he had been robbed of his pin by a woman who iuduced him to go into the
parloir of the beer-shop . Upon hearing all the circumstances , he ( defendant ) considered it to be his duty to insist the gentleman , and he accordingly waited till half-pasi six o ' clock , when the door was opened , aud he then certainly insisted upon searching the house , ae the person who complained of haying been robbed was under tho strongest impression tkat the fema ' . o \ va 3 on the premises . Oao of the witnesses ( Mr . Lamb ) for the complainant had acted in a most ungentlemanlike and violent manuer .
Mr . Lamb—You said that you searched every cupboard and corner in the house , and made the most rile and ( insolent insinuations . If I had had my clothes on , I certainly would have kicked you down stairs , for I never witnessed so gross an outrage . I have known the house long , and it is well known to be highly respectable , and if the inmates are to be insulted by buuh visits , it will be quite impossible to live in the city at all . Tho Lord Mayor ordered that the case should be postponed until Thursday , and that Mr . Brown Bhould be summoned to a"tend and give evidence . Mr . Brown accordingly made his appearance on Thursday . He stated that he accompanied the female aliuded to , whom he met near London-bridge , to the beershop . She had invited him to accompany her home , but he refused . He , however , consented to give her a glass of ale . After they bad sat
together for a while , she suddenly went away , and he immediately missed bis pearl shirt pin , which he valued very much . He directly went out , and seeing the waiter at the door , askud-him which way the woman turned t to which the waiter xtplied vdown : Thames-street . Witness entertained a suspicion on the subject , and waited in tho neighbourhood all night , in the course oi w ! ucJr 3 qn \ rfiUh ; wasfnrowii out . The defendant addressed , hint-at Set , and when be ( witness ) a *» tioned what had occurred , said that if a robbery had been committed the house should certainly be searched . When $ ne defendant was proceeding to search , the complainant ' said td him that he might search and be d—d . Witness went with him through every room . The Lord Mayor—WaB there any misbehaviour upon the part of the defendant ? Witness—No , I can't say there was anything objectionable .
The Lord Mayor—Waa any door opened by violence t Witnesss—No , I consider the conduct of the sergeant mild .

Mr . Hobler said that there wss certainly evidence of a stretch of power upon the part of tho defendant . ¦ . ¦ . ~ - - ~ . - ' , ' - - ¦ ¦ - ¦"• .. " - ¦ ¦ The Lord Major said that the defendant did no * enter the house until the door was openedijy , the servant , after having waited a' reasonable / tinie , neither did he commit yiolenoe of any kind .

Tho Lord Mayor : I cannot agree with my excellent friend Mr , Hobler in the view he takes . I'do not think that the man has dene anything Ttrong ; but if the complainant entertains a different opinion , he can go to the .

The Lord Chancellor ( Lord Lyndhurst ) entered the House at twenty minutes past five o ' oleck , and took bis seat on the Woolsack .
The Duke of Sutherland entered the House shortly afterwards and caused considerable laughter , his Grace proceeding to the Ministerial side of the House , and not discovering his mistake till he found by whom be was surrounded . Upon his Grace attempting to proceed to the side of the House occupied by bis political friends , Lord Wharncliffe caught hold of his band for the purpose of restraining him , but his Grace , true to his political creed , was not to be led astray . On the motion of Lord Wharnclivfb certain correspondence between Lord J . Russell and the Magistrates of Nottingham was ordered to be laid on the table . Lord Cottenhah moved the committal of the Administration of Justice . The House having resolved itself into Committee , Lord Sh aPtesbury in tbe chair , The BUI went through Committee .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mon » at . Tbe Speaker took the chair at a quarter before four o ' clock . There were about one hundred Members at the sitting of the House . The only Liberal ll « mber who maintained bis former place was Mr . Wafcley . The Opposition benches were nearly , empty , there not being move than a dozen Members , among whom we observed Mr . Hawes , Mr . Roebuck , Dr . Bowring , Mr . Humphreys , ¦
Sec-Mr . Hawes presented a petition from a Mr . William Blaxton , of Burnley , stating that if a man and bin wife , with two children , consumed food according to a certain scale mentioned in the petition , they would have to pay 14 s . 60 . per week for it ; whereas , if the taxes on corn and other articles connected with tLe food of the labouring classes were repealed , he would only have to pay 5 s . lid ., making a difference of 8 a 74 . per week , ia consequence of the present system of taxation . He therefore prayed the House to abolish all taxes on food .
The Speaker then called on any Hon . Members having election petitions to present to do so . Petitions were accordingly presented complaining of undue returns for the following plaees : —County of Cork , borough of Sudbury , borough ot Athlone , two petitions ; city of Gloucester , town of Southampton two petitions , borough of Kinsale , City of Dublin , town of Nottingham , tbe Elgin district of burghs , county of Kerry , county of- Tipperary , city of Lichfield , borough of Blackburn , borough of Dudley , city of Rochester , tw » petitions ; borough of Newport , Isle of Wight , borough o !

Pryse Pryse ); borough of Beading , county of Loutb , and Peotyn and Falmouth . The petitions were ordered to lie on the table .
The usual order was agreed to , that the speaker issue his warrant for persons , papers , aud records necessary for tbe trial of election petitions . The Earl of Scarborough ' s Indemnity Bill was brought up from the Lords . Sir T . Fueemamle gave notice of his intention to move that the Bill should be advanced immediately through its different stages . Such a coursj was uot contrary to precedent , as appeared from the case of the Earl of Harborough ' s Bill in 1820 . Lord Palmerston had no objection to the course proposed . Mr . Wakley would not oppose the proceeings , but be trusted that , whenever a poor man might violate the law through ignorance , the House would be equally ready to extend to him its indulgence . The Bill was then read a first time , read a second time , and passed .
KOT 1 CES OF MOTIONS . Dr . Bowring said that he understood that the Rt Hon . Gent the Member for Taunton , who had recently held the situation of President of the Board of Trade , had been for some time past collecting the tariffs of different countries , and that a most complete collection had been made . A collection of a similar nature had been laid before the Congress of the United States of America , and had been found eminently useful ; be should therefore take an early opport unity of moving that on humble address be presented to her Majesty , praying that she would be graciously pleased to give directions that there be laid before that House copies of tho Custom-house tariffs regulating the imports and exports
in the different countries , with the weights , measures , and amounts of duties stated in British weights , measures , aud monies . He also gave notice that , on an early day he should move for a Commitee to inquire into the propriety of removing the prohibitions to tbe Importation of foreign cattle—sheep , lambs , anil swine ; and * also for a Committee to consider the propriety of facilitating the importation of butter , cheese , hams , and pork ; ' and with regard to the motion of which be had given notice some time since relative to taxation , levied on the land in foreign countries , and which be had postponed at the desire of some Hon . Members . Hebegged to stati ; that ib was his intention to bring it forward to-morrow .
Mr . Roi : iiuck gave notice that whenever the House should go into Committee on the Poor La ~ w Amendment Continuation Bill , he should move that the Board of Commissioners be abolished , and that all the powers exercised by them which might be considered requisite to the working of the measure , sheuld be transferred to tho Secretary of State for the Home Department Tbe Honourable Member also gave notice , that as soon as the respor . Ible Ministers of the Crown should have taken thwi- seats in that House , he should move that copies of all the instructions sent out to Mr . Fox since the dispatch of Mr . Webster , should be laid before the House . Mr . Bodkiit gave notice that he should on an early day bring forward a in ulion on tLe subject of the amendment of the' Criminal Law . A Committee ot Supply was ordered for Tuesday , and the House adjourned .
Tuesday , September 7 . The Speaker took the chair at a few minutes before four o ' clock . ' .. ¦ ; ¦ . The SPBAKEB-informed the House that the securities for the prosecution of the election petitions for the following places "had been rtttived and were unobjectionable : —Great Marldw , Nottingham , Weymouth , Thetford , Clitheroe .

STATE OF TRADE , COMMERCE Sec . EEFECtfS OB THE ST 3 TEM . The sales of cotton in Liverpool last week were &iv siderably above the weekly average of the present y « T hut from the dulnessof tbe demand , . for several m ' tt previous , the quantity pressed , on wa , market wax »» v a . to depress ; priees still ^^ xKeCd ^ manufactured goods continues , to 'jia . fhjji ,, principally we believe , owing to the distn | aj o ^ Se . sirorking claise * whose scanty earnings are consunr t ^ TSy the presenTS travagant prices of bread and other provisions , so Ju leave little or nothing to expend in the purchase S clothing . A considerable decline In the price of biJ d would be followed by a great revival of trade bw without that there can be no general or permanent im provement in the home demand for manufactured goodt or in that for raw produce . ^"
The last week was rendered unusually gloomy l » several heavy failures in this town aad in Manch « tt » On- Tuesday it was announced , that Moats Maury , the sons of the late American Cansol , w been compelled to suspend payments . The ; q . understood to have sustained heavy losses in 1 & 7 owing to the -sudden fall in cotton , and similar loc ^ in the present year from the same causa We &r « { & , formed that the estate will prove a very good one- < circumstance which was to be expected from tbe pr * dence and respectability of the parties . The weU .
known house of Anderson , Garrow , and Co . was tin announced , on Tuesday last , to have suspended pa ? . ment , but it is very much to be regretted that its ouoe should have got into the papers , as its difficulties were merely temporary , and as it has since resumed payment The great failure of the week was that of Molyneux and Witherby , whose transactions were , like their capital , on a very large scale . They have been brought down by the great and rapid decline in tin value of cotton , of which they are understood to Litb held from 30 , » 00 to 40 , 000 bales withlna short time , oa which the loss must have been enormous .
We mentioned some time ago , that the value of Canadian timber had fallen very seriously , notwith . standing all the efforts of the Legislature to keep it ob by protecting duties . The decline , we belieye , on soma descriptions is not less than forty per cent , and that in colonial shipping fully as great In consequence of this state of things , many of the timber ships will not perform a second vayage this year , but be laid np til ] the spring , when it is to be hoped that the state of the country will besu qb , as to afford better prices than at present ' ' ' . .
The corn markets are everywhere giving way befora the influx of new wheat , and tbe prospect of the ii . mediate liberation ef about a million quarters of foieign wheat . The doty has declined , as we last week &ntf . clpated , to Ss . 8 d . a quarter , and next week it will be 2 b . 8 d . There is seme little doubt whether it wOI reach a shilling , but the probabilities are that it will If it is true , as many persons assert , that the preaeni harvest will be a good one , what a comment doesths liberation of this million quarters of wheat furnish on the present Corn Laws . —Liverpool Times .
