JtercoaiBs moved the adjournment ofihe debate , in order to give the parties time , until Thursday , to make out a case , and to secure to the public the best line .
Sir G . SxaiCKLA ^ nj seconded the am endm ent , on . ihe grcund that nothing was more dangerous than to exclude evidence . ^ The Honse divided—For the amendment .. 7 * 2 Against it ...- - U 0 Majority 38 It was then ordered that the Bill should be en-* Mr . Hctie , in moving for the production of ihe correspondence between the Court of Directors of ihe East India Company and her Majesty ' s Government respecting the recall of Lord EJlenborongh ,
explained shortly the nature of the powers vested m ihe Court of Directors , of whom twenty-three present { thetwenty-fourth being absent ill ) concurred in the present exercise of it , It was of great importance to the welfare of India that the Court should stand well ¦ with those whom it governed ; and as the majority of those who had recalled the Governor-General were supporters of the Government , the presumption wa 3 , tliatr . was a vrise and well-considered act , notwithstanding the censure of indiscretion so repeatedly and freely bestowed on it by the Dake of Wellington . The production of the correspondence would set dispute at rest .
Sir Robest Peel deprecated anything which TFonld bring on discussion respecting the conduct of Lord EUenborough in his absence , considering the jtctuarcircum 3 tances , which had been felt by Mr . Hacaulay to be of sufficient weight to postpone his IBstion respecting Gwalior . But a consideration of the welfare and tranquillity of India afforded a stronger reason for resisting the motion . No Sonbt a difference of opinion , existed between the Government and the Court of Directors as to the policy , of Lord EUenborough , but looking to the great responsibility of the Government ^ India whieh had thus devolved on them , he had felt it hisduty to merge all previous differences in cordial conjunction IS choice of a- successor . He , Sir Robert Peel , lad named Sir Henry Hardinge to the Chairman these
and Deputy of the Court of Directors ; gentlemen instandyreplied that the same name had occurred to them ; and , therefore , Sir Henry Hardinge was induced to accept the appointment , not , as he firmly l > elieved , from any motive of personal ambition , bnt from the highest and purest sense of what w » s due to the public interest . No consideration , * therefore , wonld induce him to ietter the action of the Hew Governor-General , by suffering the B&me mail which Aoeompanied his departure to carry out a -detailed correspondence of the circumstances attending the recall of his predecessor , and he hoped ihe Hoops would sustain him in his determinatitn . A somber of other Members spoke . Mr , Macatjlajt hoped Mr . Hume would not press his motion . Lord Sows HussKii concurred .
Mr .

He was not now proposing its actual j repeal ; he asked only a committee before whom he i might adduce his proofs . j Sir JaMfs Ghaham said that he thonght it his duty to oppose the resolution of the Noble Lord last year , but he had no objection to agree to appoint a select committee to inquire into the effect of these laws . He would not express any opinion on them , but he thought that this great question of their policy was a proper subject of debate in the House . The motion was then agre # d to .
On the motion of Sir Wm . Heathcote leavo was given to bring in a BiU to facilitate the collection of j county rates , and to relieve high constables from compulsory attendance at quarter sessions .

THE LTES OF THE COAL KING PRESS QANQ . THE U 1 SERS OF THE KORXH versus THE DBSHAM GBUSHCLK . TO THE EDITOB OF THE NOBIHERN STAB . JIB Editob , —Knowing your willingness to do all joa can to help honest labour to contend against the tyranny of the capitalist , and 5 out readiness to insert in your valuable paper a reply to any attack that may be made by a corrupt press upon those who &tb struggling to assist rifcht to aucceiisfnlly battle against might , 1 take the liberty of requesting you to allow me a corner in the Star , which now shines bo brilliantly in the cottage of almost every poor man in our oppressed conn try .
Tot the last fe"W weeks the newspaper piess in the conn ties of Durham and Northumberland have b&en filled with the basest falsehoods and tho grossest i calumnies , that human wickedness could invent , against i Mr . R ) beru and myself ; nay , not only against us , buv ' against the honest Miners , because they have dared to { determine to aell thu ' v labour to bettsr advantage than j they have done Jot the last few yeara , or to cease work- > ing until they Can do SO . Amongst the number who I have been most forward is one called the Durham Chronicle . The Bctibe who writes for thia pap « r is j fcvery day becoming a greater object of pity ; and if his monomania abates not , his friends , or tie parish to ¦ which be belongs , will certainly have to confine him in some cf onr lnoatio asylums , in order to prevent him , j is the beat of his malady , doing to some one whom be
j may cons der his enemy , a grievous bodily harm , or of j I committing upon himself felo de se . Poor soul ; he i j envies the " Atforney-General '' the proud name ¦ which , j ! by unceasing labour , be has acquired , and who , by a ! I strict adhesion to the cause of the poor , has secured their j j affection . In * he raving moments of his infirmity he { cries out— " If I have not convinced the pitmen that , Mi . Roberts is a run-a-way coward , and that his ' Man j Friday , ' to who * s discreet judgment he baB left the i government vf his deluded victims , is a ' miscreant , ' I ¦ ¦ "will return more maddened to the subject again , until . I have taught the pitmen sense ; " and then , like an ! inmate o ! bedlam who it past recorerj . be folia back ' in his chair , and with the most frightful grins , yells out—ha , h » , ha 1 1 DJt » he thb . k that be can make the people believe that Mr . Roberts recommended the Strike or that I ever >
gave my sanction to it ? Yet he asserts that it waa so . Were he to take the trouble to enquire <> t the delegates who have attended the different delegate meetings , he wculd ascertain that when the question of the S : rike has been brought forward , both Mr . Roberts and myself recommended them not to strike ,- but when the men ; determined upon doing so , 1 determined to do all I could te preserve the peace , and at the tame time to 1 tfc < -p np the spirits of the Hi en by giving them every encouragement , a :-d being continually amongst them , h « -ipii ! g them in every way I could . Bat , says the Durham Chroni ^ e , of the lS : h instant , Mr . Roberts has run away , and left his poor victims to take care of themselves , after filching them of their money . He asks where is his vaunted love of peace and order , that ho
sh < -nld get the men te cease to labour , and then fly from them like a coward , instead of stopping amongst them to save town from a pruon ? He then gives a list of places -where riots , routs , tumults , aDd rebellions have taktn place to such an extent that the police and sol-; dlers were obliged to be Bent for . The only place , how-> ever , where the least aign or shadow of a fight even between two men took place , was at Kelloe , and that : was caused by a man , avitwer , ( if I mistake not ) Uking : a pistol from his pocket , because a tew women and chit-; dren were laughing at five or sis men who went to ¦ fill the coals upon the pit heap anu send them sway . ; This caused a few men to interfere , last be should take , away the lives of some of the people . At the other j places he mentions , Cassep , Wingute . Castle EJen , j Hard bashes , 4 c . it was only as btfore mentioned—the ] women and children made game of two or three who ) went to fill the coals . But then this monomaniac says
1 Mr . Roberts was not there ; be had run away . Si he 1 had , by ihe instruction of ihe delepales , lo release twenly - Rve men confined in ihe ga » ls of Wakefidd , Derby , and I Leicester ; and is defend a number of the St . Helen ' s Colliers , icho were lo be tried at ihe Eirkdale sessions . But < i& his papex of ibe 20 ib , he finds that Mr . Roberts had ( ltft the management to the ' discreet" " miscreant " 1 Beesley . Why that he always did , untH hia return , J vrhen he left Newcastle . Well , was Beesley " cowardi likb" ? did he " run away" or «• neglect to give the men i advice , " or spare any troable to * keep tfee men out of prison" ? Ask the Doiham Magistrates about the men ; they committed in private Court with closed doors , jru 3 rded by policemen , upon the oath of the man who , had threatened to shoot the people with & pistol 2 ; They most answer ; ha did all be could to save them . I But let xa see what has been done to keep the men ; quiet in Mr . Roberts' absence .
; Mr . Roberts left Newcastle on Sunday , April 7 th . On I Tuesday , S . h , I rode over to Sacriston to ste the men 1 and hear 8 complaint they bad to make against their I master for stopping their wages and paying them with ; goads instead of money . On my way , I spoke to the 1 men npon the Common belonging to Waldrldge Fell '¦ Colliery . I also addressed the Sacriston men after , and ' pledged them to keep the peace . Went forward to j Durham , and on my way back to Sacriston , I saw ' from the Hill at the Three Land-ends leading to New' castle , Sacriston , and Durham , a crowd of sieu , women , ¦ and children , assembled at 7 / amewell-gate Moor . I i hastened thither with all speed to ascertain the reason , 1 and to pat a stop to any disturbance , should there have
bzen any ; bat when I arrived I found the women and children were shouting at two xntn who still continued to work ; the moment tkey saw me they determined I should speak to them ; and in two minutes the large room to which we adjourned was filled with both men and women , to overflowing . I showed them the necessity of keeping the peace , and passed a resolution to that efftct before I left , which has since been rigidly adhered to . I departed amidst the shouts and cheers of those yon ( Durham Chronicle , J so much misrepresent , and proceeded by Sacriston to see the under-viewer ( Mr . Bdlj to endeavour to make some arrangements with him respecting the men ' s wagea , bnt he was not at home .
Wednesday , loth . —I attended the WaHsend district public meeting of five Collieries—spoke to a resolution at considerable length , which condemned every man who violated the law , as an enemy to the Miners ' Association . Thursday , 11 th . —Attended the Rainton district meeting , passed a resolution similar to the one passed atWallsend . On my arrival at home In the evening , I was informed that at a few collieries the masters were engaging keel * men and others to fill the coals that lay upon the pit heaps ; and that the women were hooting and hissing the men for bo doing ; fearing that thia uproar ¦ wouia lead to some disturbance , I determined to go to the Collieries that were doing this ; and immediately prevail upon them to allow any one to work who might wish to do bo , without offering them the least annoy anca .
I started the morning following , intending to go straight to Castle Eden . 1 passed to Easington-lane ; and a meeting w immediately called , ¦ which I addressed at some length , and left with a pledge from the men , that they -would sot in the slightest degree disturb the paaoe . Having to call upon Geo . Thompson at HanweH , be determined that I should meet the men of that Colliery ; a number of them saw me come , and a bom lru iasUntiy sounded , and the whole of the brave fellows were Imtnwtifctrfy upoa the spot ; they -were told tt » t I m * going to speak to them in theii luge room . If there had been any police men near -when the men heard this , they would have BWorn there was ariot , and "would have sent for the soldiers ; for they started eff at full speed to the room in erdei to secure places ; the room was crammed to suffocation I impressed upon them the necessity of preserving the peace , -which they faithfuily promised to do : -whilst speaking there , news was sent to Snotton Moor Colliery tost I waa at Hanwell , and & number of the men came

insisted upon my visiting them : I did so , and like the otber meetings I bad attended , it was a bumper : here again 1 pledged the men to preserve inviolate the law , and not to interfere with any one who wai desirous of ¦ working . When I left the room the men determined to ehaii me through the Tillage ; this I protested ag&tobt , and told them that they had been slaves too long , and left them amidst their hearty cheers . I next went on to Castle Eden the same night , and addressed both the men and women of the place in the open air . This is one of the places that the Durham Chronicle states as being in open rebellion , and of sending threatening letters to the masters . I found the place In perfect peace , and they promised me they would remain bo . Toe only disturbance , if it is to be called disturbance , was the women , as I before stated , shouting the black-legs . Thus did I address fonr meetings this day , and intended to go forward the same night to South Wingats , but was too much fatigued to do so .
Saturday , 13 th—I started from Castle Eden to Hardbushes ; another of the places described in the Durham Chronicle as being in a state of insurrection . I found tbem all ready to be sworn in &s special constables , to protect any man who might wish to go to work , and each man declaring he would make his wife hold her tongue for the future , and stop in the house , or he would stop in six months and keep faei company . From thence I rode to Wingate . At this place , —shame upon the sacrilegious villaus—they frightened the man of God , —their spiritual teacher , by their savage looks , out of bis faith , until be fainted and cried out for the pottc& to &K ? e him : the bludgeon-men , ever ready , rushed to his rescue , and found him quivering in the pulpit , and his bearers sitting dumb-foundered at the cowardice of the faithless shepherd . This waa
occasioned by some one or two youDg sparks and a few women , who , I believe , were members of the religious body , closing the window shatter outside , because he had spoken against the men , and contended that they ought not to Strike but to ebey their masters . I spoke to the men of this colliery upon the common , and urged as before , the preservation of the peace ; and received from them the same pledge . I left tbem and went to Gissop . The men instantly called a meeting in a chapel . This is one of the places from which some of the men have been committed for "riot ! " Here also the men gave me a pledge to keep the peace , and not to molest or annoy any one in any shape or manner , who might choose to go to work . From this place I returned home to the office , satisfied that there had been little or no disturbance .
On Monday , the 15 th , I commenoed attending large district meetings , at all of which meetings resolutions to the following effect were passed : — " That this meeting pledges itself to keep the peace , and / to do all in its power to compel others to do the same ; and should any Miner violate ' the law , or disturb the peace in any manner or form , he will be considered an enemy to the Miner ' s Association , and must bear the consequences himself . " On the 15 tb alt , Pittlsjton Hill district meeting of thirteen collieries was held .
Tuesday . 16 v , h . —At Andrew ' s house a district meeting of eleven collieries , and then ( not to cause disturbance or put the coal-owners to 1 xpence by summoning them before the magistrates , or entering actions against them without first endeavouring to come to a settlement , ) I went forward to Beach Grove to see Mr . Hunter , the viewer , to see if some amicable arrangemerit could not be made . From Beach Grove I went to Sacriston and got two tickets that had been given to the men and proceeded to Durham . When I arrived
at Durham I found that the police bad arrested four mon at Ktlloe , and were about to take more ; I therefore determined to go forward that night ; I went and had a meeting of nearly all the men and women in the place , and then prevailed upon them in future to keep the peace , and should the police pay them another visit , to offer them no onposi . tion . They promised they would do so . I left Kelloe for Tbornley the same night in the dark , in order that I might be enabled to hold a meeting early in the moraine before starting for Durham .
Wednesday , 1 . 7 th— Held & meeting at seven in tho morning at Tbornby , and here again , as before , a pledge to keep the peace was given . Though the place was filled with policemen , they were determined to find them nothing to do . From Thornley I proceeded to Durham , to attend the trial of tbe men arrested the day previous . Remained all day in Durham . Thursday , 19 th—Attended the Bishop Auckland Court ; bad several cases , all of ¦ which were satisfactorily settled ; after which I attended a very large district public meeting upon Cocton Hill for the West Auckland district of eighteen Collieries . Friday , JDtn—Attended anotbex meeting at AnfleJd Plain . Saturday 20 th—Went to Durham concerning prisoners . Monday , 22 nd—Pittington Hill District Meeting , cs before , thirteen Collieries .

Attended a meeting of off handed men , from the different Collieries , scch &s brakesmen , banksmen , screenmen , blacksmiths joiners , engine-men , waggon-way men , fcc . Monday . 2 D : h—Still very unwell , yet attended a district meeting of tbe North Eiswicb district , of eight Collieries , on Newburn SanriB , six miles West of Newcastle , at twelve o ' clock . Spoke until one o ' clock , and immediately started to another meeting held upon Scaffold HiJJ , for several districts . Tuesday , 3 ( Kb . —South Shields—Held a public meeting of both shopkeepers and Colliers . 1 have meetings to attend every day durieg the continuance of the Strike , and of which I see no prospect of » settlement . Now , I would ask , can one man do more than this ? Bat my doctrine do ^ s not please the Editor of tbe Durham paper . I know that ; neither does it please those for whom be writes . For his bitterness to Mr . Roberts , there may be a reason . I once
heard a letter read from & gentleman at a delegate meeting held in Newcastle , requesting the Miners to engage him as their legal adviser , bat they rejected him . This may be tbe cause of tbe dreadful malady which nowsflcts some one connected with the Durham Chronicle ; but no mure ef this now . I would not have noticed him but tor one thing . I should be sorry weie hu not to follow up bis present conne . He is doing more good to the Union , and making the men more determined to stand firm , than all the speeches that I am capable of making , or all tbe inluence that can be used by Mr . Roberts ; and it is for the purpose of keeping hia steam up , that I have used bo much time in replying to him . I have been told tho authorities are watching me , and should any more disturbances take place they will endeavour to take me for conspiracy . I have this from the best authority . But not so fast . I must now conclude , and will again , if I can find time , enjoy myself an hour next week in writing to you again .
Yours , fee , W . Bees let . Royal Arcade , Newcastle-upon-Tyne , April , 30 , 1844 , P . S . —The Miners in England and Scotland ought at this time to come forward with their support for the men sow on strike in the counties of Northumberland and Durham . They have made many sacrifices to support and establish the Union . They are a generous , brave , and determined race of men , and at all the meetings I have attended they declare they will not return to work this year if they do not get what they want . Support them and they will not disgrace yon . Let tbe Minen throughout England and Scotland act like brethren , by their liberal subscriptions towards the support of these good and gallant men .

Aberdeen . —The Colliers' Strike . —Our good denizens . are beginning to become alarmed at the daily advance ot the price of English coals , and in every quarter our matrons of the chimney nook arc anxiout . lv inquiring why the Sunderland coals are rising to Buch an extraordinary pricee . Tbe Northumberland and Durham pitmen , if still on . strike , will be glad to learn that , in spite of our ( m ost frugal economy , the supply is rapidly drying up , and before many days elapse we shall have none except what is imported from Fifeshire . All the
towns to the northward are as destitute of eoalj , as Aberdeen . How long the obstinacy of the lords of the mine intend keeping us in this frigid eondition remains to be Been ; but this we know , that none of our factories have coals to keep them going at their present rate for any considerable length of time ; and last week , there were no coals worth mentioning in the harbour . What the price may arrive at this week is as yet a secret ; but this is certain , that the coal miners have a power in their hands , whioh , if properly wielded , would teash their unreasonable t&sk masters some useful lessons . —Correspondent .

Mr . Justice Burton teok his seat on the bench about half-past eleven o ' clock , and proceeded to hear the motions of tbe junior bar . In a short time after Judges Perrin and Crampton entered . The Bar had scarcely made their bow to their Lordships when " silence" was again called for tbe Lord Chief Justice . His Lordship , addressing tbe Attorney-General , said — " Mr .

Murder at Hampton Court Palace . —A great fetation has bean occasioned at Hampton Court Palace , and throughout its environs , in consequence of the discovery of a portion of the mutilated remains of a new-born infant at the mouth of a common sower , whioh runs from the Palace into the Thames On Wednesday afternoon week , a boy named Tho ? . Holland , was playing , with some other boys , at the side of Saoker ' B Arch , which forms the outlet
of the . ewer running from the Palace , when he discovered the left hand of an infant floating in the water . As the water fljws over a gravelly bottom , and is not above two or three inches deep , he was enabled to get possession of the hand , and immediately took it to police-constable Cole , 131 A . On Wednesday evening , and early next morning , there were picked up the major portion of a thigh , a p art of the loins and a portion of the back of an infant . These parts of the human body were taken to Dr . Baker , the surgeon to many families in the palace , and he gave jit as his opinion that they had
been about a week in the water , but whether they were the remains of a live or still-born child , he could not state . Afterwards , however , there were discovered four ribg connected with each other , washed out of the sewer , as also a part of the intestines . Those portions of the body that had been found were taken to i Dr . Roots , of Kingston , who carefully examined them , and was of opinion that the infant had , immediately after birth , been cut in pieces with a very sharp instrument .

Wreck op the ( Severn Steamer . — Bristol , Mat 6 . —Within these few weeks two new iron steamers , the Severn and Avon , fitted with the Archimedean screw and high pressure engines , were , started in opposition to the old line of steam packets between Bristol and Newport , South Wales . On Saturday evening one of them , the Severn , was wrecked in the Newport river just at the moment of her starting on the I return voyage to Bristol . A gentleman who was ( an eye-witness of the whole transaction , states thai at about a quarter to 6 o ' clock ri Saturday evening . iwhon about to start , the Severn was lying at her berth near the Newport-bridge , with her bow towards the brid . e , her stern being down the river , or in ithe direction of Bristol . Ac
this time the tide v ? a 9 running up the Newport river very strong , at about seven knots an hour , and of course near to the bridge the current produced by the 1 ide shooting thropgh the arches of tne bridge was much stronger . The signal for starting having been given , the captain commenced swinging her round , and cast off the stern chain , depending upon the bow rope and the power of the engine for bringing her round with head to tbe tide , and thus getting her under weigh . At this moment , when the order was given to back her , it wa 3 found that the screw would nut revolve ; the vessel immediately swung round , and carried with tbe run of tide , struck with her bow against the sharp wedgelike buttress of the bridge , and recoiling , almost instantly struck with her side against another buttress with such force , that every one on tho bridge fully { expected t 0 see her turn right over . At this moment the scene was indescribable ,
the spectators on shore , as well as their friends on board , screaming dreadfully . Boats were instantly put in requisition , and ; tho passengers , upwards of 50 in number , weTe fortinately all got on shore , but not without very great difficulty , and having to clamber through the mud . The \ pumps were then rigged , and every exertion used to save her , other persons being employd in the mean time in tho removal of the luggage , &o ., which was safely effected . In about an hour and half she was seen to go down , the captain and crew having only j juat jumped into some boats previously to her sinking ; indeed , they stayed by her so long , that the boats in which they were were swamped . The crew ^? ere , however , picked up , but by other boats , and rescued from their perilous situation , though not until some of them had been drawa under the bridge , and to some distance above it .
