THE MINI 8 TBT . The change wlikh was no longer to be postponed aftej'tfce difistog of Satottflfcyjnflrniag bk » - been conacnnnated : the Whig Ministers asaeasoed their resiglBtionin . lxrth Heusea efrFaraameni on Monday s and flie chief part of Sir Robert ' Peel ' s Government hai been submitted to the Queen , approved , and publicly acnonnoed . So terminates the Whig Administration ; without any tf that fearfol tarmoll at Coart whiea was threatened OB the retirement of the Whigs . All has passed off m smoothly & say drawing-room ceremony : there Is » o more talk of tbe ; Gueen" » personal or political aversions ; the Qaeen was the best of "Wnigs with the old Court journals—in the new Court journal * she is the beat of Tories .
The readers of the Spectator hare been folly-prepared for this change , at least since the promulgation of the Budget They will not be urpriaed or disappointed at tbe cast of the new drama which now opens . The Ministry , or as much of it as Is yet before us , ia composed of rack materials u were accessible to the new Premier—of the leading men among Us party -. he had bo more extended choice . Within that limit , tbe selection has been upon the whole judicious , and the distribution of offices discreet ; altogether caw has been taken to avoid intrusting offices to men notoriously unfit , or placing sien in power where their mere names jnight haTe created alarm . At firs ) there was some surmise of Sir Robert Peel onitinj two offices , according to precedent , and being both Premier and Chanoellor of the
SxchequBr : the actual arrangement is perhaps better , though many <* ouM hare preferred Peel to Goulbnrn , < B the principle of the firrt man -of the party to the most difficult office . The mere dry office-business of the Finance Minister , indeed , will be quite erfficieat to occnpy one head , though it were the best that could b&-found . Bran in the ' matter of ananas tbe chief Mimxter will be all tbe more efficient for Darin ? his attention free from details . - Bst the "division or offices 2 b yet mare important as an earnest that Sir Robert P # el means to keep himself disengaged in the perlormance of his chief function as the director of the whole—that be intends to give tbe country what it has lacked for many a year , an acting Prime Minister . That is a policy which , thoroughly earned out , may go fax
to supply the defects inherent in the materials which be can command . The •« country , " that is the consti tnenciea , haw transferred fche power of Government from its late holders , not to the party of gentlemen who haTe consented to be lir Robert Peel ' s , coadjutors —cot even , it may be gathered from the thousand passing remarks of the election-days , to the Duke of Wellington—but te Sir Robert Peel and te none other : by retaining to himself , therefore , a complete mastery Of his Cabinet , he will the better fulfil the expectation of " the country ; " and at the xa-n ^ time be will be { tetter able to perform his difficult task ' th » n if be vepoted any share of his power in the hands of men with Tarying views , in many cases , probably , nay , in-« ritably , leas discreet than his own .
The new Minister ' s neld of labeui is now before him ; his tools are in his hand . He enters upon the task , he ¦ ays , with confidence , bat with an awful sense of responsibility . In both particnlarB he is right He never had so much power as he has at this moment : rivals have died off , become superannuated , 07 been outgrown by tiis own increasing reputation : he has gained additional inflnfflwe by the refusal of place burdened with derogatory conditiona , in 1 & 37 , and by the more popular dispositions which he has exhibited in the interval—the reckless and eager of hia own party fear him more , the people lass . He never had sach opportunity : for he has to satisfy a people who have been satiated with promisee in proportkm aa they have been starved in deeds . He never bad so nueh difficulty : for it is not part ? excitement with which he has now to deal , but with a country"b ruin or salvation , amidst large and Imminent dangers and powerful conflicting interests . He
never had ao much expected of him : be succeeds to a Ministry who have accustomed the people to the expec tation « f political advancement , to the exercise of popular power , and to deference from the " constituted authorities ; " and he has himself boasted of what tbe •* Conservative" party , his own creation , can do—how they are to reconcile the popular appetite for improvement with the old aSection for existing forms and insti tution * . He proclaims , and common sense anticipated -the proclamation , that the old Tory nils is not to bo restored—it has passed away for ever . The decade of Whig role , with ail it * brilliant intentions and all its weaknesses , is likewise cloaeo . The " Conservative ' party , the new invention in politics , heir to the virtues bat not to the vises of the Tories , now claims to try its band-at setting straight all that ia out of joint in the world . Tbe people look . on , not without solicitude , to see the characters wkich are to be first inscribed in the new blank page of Mstorj . —SpetUtor .

LAW OF LIBEL
Oar attention has been directed to a trial at the last Sussex Summer Assizes , which shews , in a high degree , the pecoHaritias of the English Law of LibeL That it ' Is an instrument , facile in its application and terrible in ita powers , wielded at the will or caprice of judges sod juries ;—and yet its penalties are capable of being easily withheld against the force of apparent justice , trhan they might conduce to the protection of a man , not for any conceivable reason , but simply because he yn » y happen to be of a class which it is customary for both WMgs and Tories to vilify and misrepresent . The "H ) iH of Jastice is to be degraded from its uses j—reason teinmphed over by prejudice—the judgment seat , in fact vacated , —when a favourable opportunity presents Itself to hurl one more shaft of invective against the
CheriUtt ; or to rouse the prejudices of the ignorant , or the cupidity of the trnprincipled , in opposition to their Just requirements . Yet each exhibitions ap ^ ew to ub decidedly Trnfai ? in more than one respect , —none can reply to charges of this description—they come with weight and authority , sanctioned by the influence of high office , upon the minds of auditors , previously inflamed by means of appeal to their selfish natures , to a pitch of violence , sufficient to exclnde any idea of a calm or temperate exercise of the "better 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
integrity , some time since sent a deputation of three respect&blB individuals u > wait upon one Barnes , at thai time high cojis-able of the town , with a requisition signed by eighty electors , and forty ratepayers , for convening a public meeting to take , into consideration the propriety of an addressto the Queen on behalf of Fro 3 t , Wiiliams , and Jones . This " servant of the public , " alter , a delay , thought prepei to reject the application , and of course , the three retired , A few days elapse , and the Brighton Herald , a Whig paper of Earrow views , puts forth a Sounding article about tbe ' silly presumption "' — " absurd proceedings "—and " signal defeat" of the Chartists—magnifying the - three peaceable persons we have spoken of into a tumultuous hundred , and concluding a tirade of
untruths by affirming tha . 1 Mr . Q&J , ( one of the deputation , ¦ . on the use of the Town Hall being-refused , had declared " they wonM come up in a body ; and if blood was required they woald 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 Bnghim Htrzld , published a supplementary one , by con £ rraicg it . The injured person lien thought proper to appeal to the laws of his country . in the usual parlance , for redress . In court he duly proved his case by establishing the falsehood of the libel . His witnesses , however , were cross-examined by the opposing counsel , the Tory Flatt , in this manner— " Have you seen Gay at any of the meetings to do away with
kinj and laws ? Now mind—did not Gay attend the last Chartist meeting ? " The inference wished "to be deduced is obvious ; and when in his addre » - > for the defence , he took occasion to say of the Chartists : . wbom the plaintiff was one ) that if su . dh opinions as were held by them got abroad " they the jury ) might &s well abandon the land at once , for safety in their housss would be out of the question , and what they had helped up for their children , or had themselves received from their father ? , would go in a ffeneral division of plunder . " ?»" o one , we are convinced , can fail to perceive the connection of ideas foisted on the jury , ¦ whe n we consider of -whit materials it was doubtless formed '
And yet this is the way educated nen , in the face of broad daylight , before FtstU 3 and Agrippa , dare to lie and libel men whose aspirations consort , most strictly , with nothing but natural justice ; who only seek the enjoyment of an inherent right—a voice in the government that rules over them . From the counsel we must proceed to the judge Here we have little te do but extract from his summing np—our readers may imagine the only e * mments he could make . He commences by remarking that— "The libel alluded to that mest tricked outrage on the public peace , which took place in the town of Xewport some time ago ; and fl it was necessary for him to enter into that question , or to make any observations to the jury either upon the object , the mode , or the consequences of the conduct pursued by those persons who were called Chartists , he should have no difficulty in giving TiU opinion upon the subject But he thought he was not called upon to do so . " [ Here we might pause to
8 fik why the political opinions of the judge should be thus thrust forward in his official capacity ? They , at least , were nothing to the case and could not excuse the iouendo given-j " The libel iUelf sufflcieatly describes their general objects and tendency ; and the jury would learn from it whether Mr . Fleet could possibly be justified in miking the insinuations < Mrh he had made upon Mr . Gay . " He then—on ihe bench—proceeds : ' Thai the Qha > tuti , throughout this article , were spoken of with the contempt they deserved , no person could doubt . The object of the newspaper writer was to express Uiat opinion . Be evidently considered the Chartists as noisauees , not only dangerous but cc&tempiible . " ^ Blithe question was—the judge rightly stated" hetfw invidious slander on Mr . Gay was tbe iniso-4 Hi * ft e&tbe newspaper-writer under covert of political - ¦ ¦ "TS fCwui attributed te Mi .

But if ever anything in tbe world was necessary to convince mankind that there was but one foundation for true courage , namely , a ooBsdoureeas of public principle , it was evinced by the isira * « f that day , wheJt themsand'of men fled at the mere xesktsneeof faalf adoaan persons who had collected in the tan at , Newport . Within &n hour ot two sit « Ike discharge of & few musiete , there w * s sot arman -who dared to sfcow him * eelt Now , tie defendant attributed to ( Jay that vfcry feeling which produced the moat improper conduct , namely , that he had said that ' he and others ; were prepared to come np in a bo&y , and if blood was' required to die man to man f Had be any right to make any such imputation upon Mr . Gay * Had h » attempted to show that Gay did" toy so ? On the contrary , he gave up the attempt
Tbe late , the judge perfectly knew was one way , but the refvU of this trial , rainy woold say , depended la a great measure on what colouring the tofiofe Chariiti body held in the -view of the jary . He concludes , " that Mr . Fleet had made the imputation against M ? . Gay , of the latter having nsed absurd-and desperate language—language for which certainly notning coald atone . Tbe imputation was made , too , withoui any proof ; and therefore they most assume that the language had not been toed . If , then , they considered that the imputation was made from some improper motive , they wonldflnd a verdict for the plaintiff , with ttuA temperate damages , for he could mi advist 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 ef libel , he would just observe that every thing which tended "" to vilify or disparage a man in the estimation of others , was libellous . "
After this charge , which we must , however , confess does riot Idee sight of the question at iasne , can it be wondered at that notwithstanding its conclusion , " the jury , after deliberating for about two minutes , returned a terdictfor the defendant . " So little , however , did the verdict appe&T to satisfy the plain justice of the case , that after it bad been returned , Mr . Thesiger applied on the part ef the plaintiff for a verdict on bis behalf , " on the Becond and third issues , on the ground , that the defendant had ofertd no evidence in support of his plea of justification ! " The Jedge granted the application !—English Chartist Circular .

UMTED JOURNEYMEN HATTERS' JOINT STOCK COMPANY , ESTABLISHED AT DEN TON , MAY 1840 . We have received a long account » nd 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 upon Ihe attention of the working classes , is beginning to be not only appreciated but acted upon . We are sensible that nothing will more conduce to the welfare of ihe industrions millions than the formation of companies , Trhich will have the meanB of distributing the wealth of 'which they are the producers , 5 n such manner as
shall 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 ail trade Bunions , when compelled to resort to what is called a Btrike , to act as the journeymen hatters are now doing ; thuB , 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—by the taking from them their retail trade , 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 Demon , Oldaim , 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 , bj want , to submit to the terms dictated by their employers . The poet of nature has said , " From this nettle danger , well pluck this flower Be / ety , " and so we may say , that from the perseverance of despotism , the people are at length beginning to see the necessity of becoming independent . These noble teUows who have eaffared so much have b « gun to turn 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 been formed 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 nourishment 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 : —
" We would inform you , that this Establishment has not beea opened with the same view as all others , vis , realising PuoyiT from yoa , bat tor the parpos * of 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 for them j for if we cheat you , you will not purchase from us again , whereas it is ottr interest to sell fuantity , so that a many of ourselves 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 yon 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 ia well worth the attention of the industrious classes in every department of productive labour ( for masters in atl trades are pretty much alike ) as it tends to show in a striking point of view the principle by which those cormoia-its are actuated . For months before the strike , those genuine descendants of the " danghthers of the horse leech , " whose constant cry is " give , give , "had been accumulating stock UDtil , as they supposed , they had got into a position in which they migntmake a covert and crafty , bnt 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 . Haviijg thos 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 honey from the wasps or the drones , such combinations are is them illegal ) , the first fruits of which . " unholy alliance" was the turning four thousand of their hands out of employment the very nes ; morning . This looks so nuch like a conspiracy afiaiEst the right 3 of labour , that we cannot for our lives persuade ourselves that it was anytliing Ies 3 . But the rascals 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 aDy means they could induce them to put themselves into the way of that healthful operation . So the streets were filled with a species of animal , called by the vulgar , policemen , but -srhose 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 thuadared to Seard the monster , Capital , even in his srfrogholds , 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 nob 2 y begun . Let this plan be but carried out , and a change will be effected of the most salutary character . In a comparatively short time , tbe political rights of the people will be obtained . We shall get the Charter , and then onward—onward to prosperity and happiness .
Ia 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 £ h of April , 1841 , and to which we beg to invite the particular attention of all our readers : —

IMPORTANT TO COLLIERS-THE TABLES TURNED ! BOLTON PETTY SESSIONS , MORDAt . Before J . Ridgway ^ J . Fletcher ^ «/ . R , Barnes , E $ q ., and the Rev . J . S . Birley . Malicious I wort . —Colliers' Turm-oct . —Richd . Yates , Robert Yates , David Yates the younger , James Brooks , Wm . Halliwell , and James Nuttall , colliers , lately in the employ of Mr . Thoa . Fletcher , at Tonge-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 Middleton , for 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 Se&combe , 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 siz on the following morning , I found that all tho brick-work about the boiler had been blown away ; 1 found a p iece of a bottle on looking about , which I believe had contained gunpowder ; I could smell 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
consequence of a dispute about wages . Mr . Fk tcher has t&ken other men in their plZces , and this lias 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 wwked some years for Mr . Fletcher , and 1 have not heard anything agaisst 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 . Ha 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 1 believed to be the three Yates ' s , Brook , and Halliwell ; I did not see Nuttall ; one came up t » 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 1 thought it woula ; 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 , asd having two or three lucifer matches in my pocket , I lighted my pipe and began to smoke ;
in aboit 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 ia about a quarter of a mile from the pit ; in about a quarter of an hour after I heard the rick I observed a flash of light , and heard a report louder than that of a guu ; on the following morning I saw the damage done to the engine-house ; about three or four daya 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 clso in the room ; 1 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 np , I think that would do it . " I did not hear them say anything about throwing vitriol on the ropes ; I have not said so before ; I did not bear them say anything about some lines being lost that week . By Mr .
Halsall— i did not think m » ch about it ; I thought tbe 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 htni there there that night ; I left the Nag ' s Head about three minutes before ten o ' clock , and had to walk a quarter of a mile ; I believe I left then on my own acoord ; 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 ce tells lies ; 1 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 oa the following morning that I had done it myself .
Mr . Haisali , in defence , to save 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 . direoted the defence to go on . Mr . Halsall then addressed them and callea Isaac Horrocks , constable of Ainsworth , who stated : —I saw Richard Barlow at the Na ^ n HaoH
on the night of the 13 th ; he was drunk when I went in . and having called for a pint of ale , drunk it and fell asleep ; ihe landlady wakened him about nine o ' clock , and toil ; \ v . u . to the door , and he fell down there ; as I v .: is i , j ii ^ home about half-past ten o ' clock , be .

AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOUSE NOT HIS CASTLE ! A good deal of interest was excited by an investigation , wnich 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 owner of a beershop , at No . 8 , Miles ' 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 .
Mr . 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 aud insults . He then stated the eurouijistances , 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-past 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 moraing , 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 , witness expostulating against the intrusion . The complainant also denied the right of ihe polico to go up Btairs and search the house without a warrant , and asked the defendant to show his authority . Defendant merely pointed to the figures on his collar , and said that it was 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 the house might have been dressed . The witness did not deny that reasonable time was
given . Mr . J . Lamb , a young man of very respectable appearance , stated that he was a lodger in the complainant ' 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 w . iy in . When they heard the neise 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 was injudiciously opened , and in they walked . VVitaesstold them that if they had a warrant , they might examine all hie property , and the defendant pointed at his collar , and answered in a tone of authority the most insulting and disgusting . Sergeant Vale said that bis oonduct 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 was 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 tho door was opened , aud he then certainly insisted upon searching the house , ae the person who complained of having been robbed was under the strongest impression tkat the femaio wag on the premises . Ono 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 vile and , insolent iusinuatioua . 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 , aud if the inmateB are to be iasulced by buuh visits , it will be quite impossible to live iu the city at all . Tho Lord Mayor ordered that the case should be postponed until Thursday , and that Mr . Brown should be summoned to a'ttnd and give evidence . Mr . Brown accordingly made his appearance on Thursday . He stated that lie 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 his 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 I to which the waiter replied , down Thames-street . Witness entertained a suspioioa on the subject , and waited in the neighbourhood all night , in the course of whiclrao ^ tfilth jwas thrown out . The defendant addressed him-at Sit , and when he ( witness ) aeationed what bad occurred , said that if a robbery bad beea committed the house should certainly be searched . When the defendant was proceeding to search , tbe complainant ' said to him that he might search and bed—d . Witness went with him through every room . The Lord Mayor—Was there any misbehaviour upon the part ot the defendant ? Witness—No , I can't say there was anything objectionable . Tbe Lord Mayor—Was any door opened by violence 1 Witnessa—No . I consider the conduct of the sergeant mild .

Mr . Hobler said thai there was certainly evidence of a stretch of power upon the part of the defendant . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ "¦ -, ~ - ¦ ¦" ; - ¦ r - ¦ ' The Lord Mayor said that the defendant did no * enter tbe house until , the door was" openedi ) y the servant , after having waited a reasonable tinSe , neither did he Commit violence of any kind . Indeed , he did not insider tbe oharjge against the defendant to be at allsuBtafaeo ' . If toe de'ftndant had goieat anjineeasonable hour , and Insisted upon admission , Be- would have done wrong . A baer-obop was not , after ail . like » private bouse . The o&eer thought he should find tbe vromatttnertj and it would be in «
judicious to discourage a man in such a aitua'tion from eivilly aiding tbe end * of justice . ¦ - ¦ ;¦ : Mr ; Asjuey f The conduct ot tbe defendant 1 b certainly at ; variance with tbe principles of protecting the liberty of the subject , and Mr . Hobler , of whose experience and judgment there can be no question , has said'that there has been , k stretch of authority . Tho Lord Mayor : I cannot agree with my excellent friend Mr , Hobler in the n ^ vr be takes . Ixlo not tbink that the man has dene any thing wrong ; trat if the complainant entertains a different opinion , he can go to the , City , Commissioner and submit the 6 a ^ to temil'Idl ^ aiss it , or I refer it to Mr .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mon * ut . The 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 Member who maintained hia totmex place was Mr . Wakley . The Opposition benches were nearly , empty , there not being move than a dozen Members , among whom we observed Mr . Hawea , Mr . Roebuck , Dr . Bowring , Mr . Humphreys , dec
Mr . Hawes presented a petition from a Mr . William Blaxton , of Burnley , stating that if a man and his wife , with two children , consumed food according to a certain scale mentioned in the petition , they would have to pay 14 s . 6 d . per week for it ; whereas , if the Uxes on corn and other articles connected with the food of the labouring classes were repealed , h « would only have to pay 5 s . lid ., making a difference of 8 a . 7 d . per week , in consequence of the present system of taxation . He therefore prayed the House to abolish all taxes on food .
The Speakkr 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 places : —County of Cork , borough of Sudbury , borough of Athlone , two petitions ; city of Gloucester , town of Southampton two petitions , borough of Kinsale , City of Dublin , town of Nottingham , the Elgin district of burghs , county of Kerry , county of - Tipperary , city of Lichfleld , borough of Blackburn , borough of Dudley , city of Rochester , tw « petitions ; borough of Newport , Isle of Wight , borough of Bowdley , borough of Newry , ( from Sir John M .

The usual order was agreed to , that tbe Speaker issue his warrant for persons , papers , and records necessary for the trial of election petitions . The Earl of Scarborough's Indemnity Bill was brought up from tbe Lords . Sir T . Fueemamle gave notice of his intention to move that tbe Bill should be advanced immediately through its different stages . Such a cours j was not contrary to precedent , aa appeared from the case of the Earl of Hatborougb ' a Bill in 1820 . Lord Palmerston had no objection to the course proposed . Mr . Wakley would not oppose the proceeings , but he 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 .
NOTICES OF MOTIONS . Dr . Bowring said that he understood that the Rt . Hon . Gent the Member for Taunton , who had recently held tbe 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 tbe United States of America , and had been found eminently useful ; he should therefore take an early opportunity of moving that an 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 , and monies . He also gave notice that , on an early day he should move for a Commltee to inquire into the propriety of removing the prohibitions to the Importation of foreign cattle—sheep , lamba , and 6 wine ; 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 he had given notice some time since relative to taxation , levied on the land in foreign countries , and which he had postponed at the desire of some Hon . Members . Hebegged to stato that it was his intention to bring it forward to-morrow .
Mr . Bolduck gave notice that whenever the House : should go into Committee on the Poor Law Amendment Continuation Bill , he should move that the Board of Commissioners be abolished , and that all the powera exercised by them which might be considered requisite to the working of tbe measure , should be transferred to the Secretary of State for the Home Department The Honourable Member also gave notice , that as soon aa the responsible Ministers of the Crown should have taken their 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 cfay bring forward a in uiion on the subject of the amendment of the Criminal Law .

A considerable decline in tbe price of btttA would be followed by a great revival of trade bS without that there can be no general or permanent fa provement in the home demand for manufactured goodi or in that for raw produce . ^
The last week was rendered unusually gloomy fa several heavy failures in this town and in Manche « tet On Tuesday it was announced that Meesn Maury , the sons of the late American Cansnl , hid been compelled to suspend payments . They tn understood to have sustained heavy losses in ig ^ owing to the sudden fall in cotton , and similar loggj ia the present year from the same cause . We an ia fortqed that the estate will prove a very good one- « circumstance which was to be expected from tbe m deuce and respectability of tbe parties . The wen .
known house of Anderson , Garrow , and Co . was also announced , on Tuesday last , to have suspended p » . ment , but it is very much to be regretted that its name should have got Into the papers , as its difficuttiei 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 hin held from 30 , « 00 to 40 , 000 feales within a abort tine , oa which the loss most have been enormous .
We mentioned some time ago , that the value of Canadian timber had fallen very seriously , notwithstanding all the efforts of the Legislature to keep it as by protecting duties . The decline , we believe , on soms 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 sot perform a second voyage this year , but be laid up til ] the spring , when it is to be hoped that the state of the country will be siujh , as to afford better prices than i \ present . \ " ' , .

The corn markets are everywhere giving way before the Influx of new wheat , and tbe prospect of the ia . mediate liberation of about a million quarters of foreign wheat . The duty has declined , as we last week utt . clpated , to 6 s . 8 d . a quarter , and next week it will be 2 b . 8 d . There is seme little doubt whether it win reach a shilling , hat the probabilities are that it win . If it is true , as many persona , assert , that the praen * harvest will be a good one , what a comment doe * the liberation of this million quarters of wheat furnish on the present Com Laws . r—Liverpool Times .
