CORRESPONDENCE. THE PILLORY & THE WHIPPING•••'OST. To the Editor ur the Canlif fwd Merthyr i.ttardian. SIR,— With reference to the enquiry of your Merthyr correspondent, "A Legatee," iu your last paper, I am not aware that. the punishment of the pillory has been abolished, though, like many other puuisiinuMis by expo- sure, the stocks, &cM it has got into desuetude. With respect to the whipping-post, which your correspondent also alludes to (one of which was :it Eivcniiy 33 \eirs ago), it was one of the most ancient punishments on re- cord, being used by the Persians 3U0J years ago. The Decree of Darius, 519 years before the birth of Christ, is supposed by Bishop P it rick, and other learned commen- tators, to have reference to this mode of punishment, in the 6th chapter of Ezra, v. 11,—where he denounces those who would frustrate the Jews in the rebuilding of their Temple. "Let timber be pulle:! down from his house, and being set up, &c. &c. &c., let him be hanged thereon," which the learned Bishop says should be tran- slated agreeably to the sense of the Greek version, "and standing let him be beat upon it." Your obedient servant, TOBY. YSTRAD MYNACH (OR MONACH) NEAR CAERPHILLY. To the Editor of the Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian. Sia,—Having applied to a well-informed archaeologist as to the etymology of the above place (the present resi- dence of the Rev. George Thomas), I received from him the following historical derivation, which not only accords with the notions of Pennant, and Theophilus Jones, but withloeal tradition:- William De Breos (a. Lord of the Marches, and for many years holding Caerphilly Castle) wan strongly suspected of heing over intimate with the wife of Prince Llewelyn (a natural daughter of King John). She revealed it to a Monk, in conft's- sion, who made Prince Llewelyn acquainted with it. De Breos hanged the Monk at a place which, from this act, was called Ystrad Mynach." Llewelyn, in the following year (1229), inveigled De Breos into his power, reproached him with bis crime, and had him hanged on an adjacent hill. Pennant states that a bard of the palace, accidentally meeting with the Princess, who was ignorant of the fate of De Breos, accosted her in the following manner; and on receiving her answer, showed him to her hanging on a tree BARO.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SILURIAN, Sir,—In consequence of the insertion, in your last paper, of a letter signed Aóerho Iddn," and of the allusion of the writer to a possible Archaeological .Meeting at Brecon, at an early period, I have selected your publication as tite best possible channel of the following brief communication. The observations contained in it will be confined to a very narrow lield, but will, nevertheless, as I trust, be worthy < f the close attention of auy Breconians who may wish to promote the success of fciefltific Archsaoiogy. On Saturday morning, April 19tli, I dropped off the mail, within the precincts of Brecon, and 0:1 foot revisited certain scenes, dimly recollected after an absence of some forty years, and which I was again desirous to bring more dis- tinctly before the senses. After passing by Brynich and C?ven brynich —concern- ing which I may, perhaps, at a future period, have some- thing to say—I turned to the left and made for Llachfaen, where I found my old friend, the Spring, in all its pristine glory, pouting forth in profusion its perennial waters of the purest and most refreshing character. Inform and substance it remained such as I had known it in my younger days; but I was, from long observation of similar fountains, induced to regard it with higher and holier feelings than had been suggested to me by my former visits. Then, the fountain was regarded as subordinate to the flourishing hamlet, and its inhabitants, which had been formed and gathered round its perennial waters but now I was compelled to infer that the spring was the primary cause, and both the mother and godmother of the village and its population. The village had no name, and could have no name until its primeval fouuders chose its vicinity as their place of dwelling; I know not whence they came, but most probably from the eastern home of mankmd, as they imitated the practice of the patriarchal age, by covering their spring with a gigantic stone. This stooe, about six feet and a half in diameter, and about twenty feet in circumference (I ppeak loosely), is what a Cymro would neceesatily call a Llachfaen—that is a large flat slab 8tone- indeed it would be dillicult to nnd a match for it. I wish the proprietor would take measures to improve the appearance of this splendid fountain, and render the magnificent dimensions of the Llachfaen more conspicuous. After leaving this very respectable village, I ascended a remarkable eminence, covered now with larch plantation, rejoicing in the name of Twyn-y-Castell, a fortified po^t, which I doubt not had been found useful by all the contend- ing powers which had fought for the possession of the rich vales which can be viewed from its summit. In my own opinion it requires special examination, as its centre eminence seems to me to bear undoubted tokens of having been heaped up by human hands. The examination, also, of the construction of its outward vallum," a:id of its very visible gateway, would also icward anyattention. Ïn a field to the west of it, and in a vcry remote and un- likely corner, 1, acting under ancient reminiscences, found an undoubted monument of our ancient father-, a'* Do! maeu:" as it is called in Brittany: our Dollegarreg,1' in English, a perforated stone. The following interesting quotation, confirmatory of the great respect with which the perforated stone was regarded ill olden times, is taken from a truly invaluable work en- titled The Archaeology and Pre-historic Annals of Scot- land," by Daniel Wilson, Honorary Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland ;— One other stone is deserving of some note from the vague records which tradition has preserved of ils connexion with therite* of a long extinct creed. Air. Wakeman re- marks in his Archje ogiral Hibemica, perforated stones, very similar to the ordinary pillar stone, are found in many parts of Ireland, Scotland, and even as appears from Mr. Wilford's Asiatic researches in India. Abroad as well as at home their origin is shrouded in the deepe3t obscurity, nor is it likely that the subject can ever be elucidated.' After thus quoting Mr. Wakeman, Mr. Wilson goes on to say— Perforated stones are by no means so common as this would imply. At Applecross, in the West of Ross-shire, a perforated stone occupies the centre of a stone circle and at Forrnr>re, in Ihe parish of Kilmoril, Buteshire, there is a celebrated monolithic circle, styled 'Siudhe choir Fhionn,' or Fingxl's cauldron seat, one of the columns of which is per- forated, and is commemorated in oid Highland traditions as the stone to which the Celtic herowas wont to tie his dog Bran. Immediately adjoining the circle are three huge un- hewn columns, about fi:teen feet in height above the surface of the moor. Along with these examples may be noted a curious group in the parish of Maddern, Cornwall, consist- ing of three stoies, the centre one of which is pierced with a large circular hole, through which, Borlase informs us, rheumatic patients were wont to crawl, as a sovereign re- medy for their disease. Perforated stones must once have been common in England, and probably in Scotland also, as the Anglo Saxon laws repeatedly denounce similar super- stitious practices but they are now of the rarest occur- rence. Tradition has preserved some curious associations with one of the most interesting Scottish examples,which may perhaps be thought to throw some doubtful light on the use to which such nerforated pIllars were devoted, at a com- paratively late period of our i-land history. The celebrated stone of Odin, near the Loch of Stennis, in Orkney, which has had a new interest added to it by being interwoven with the romantic incidents of the Pirate, was one of the most remarkable monolithic group called the Stones of Stennis. It formed no part, however, either cf the Great King of Bro- gan, or of the neighbouring circle of Stennis, but stood apart to the 'north-east of the latter group; though it can scarcely be doubted that it bore some important relation to these ancient and mysterious structures. The Stone of Odin is described 'is standing about eight ftet high, and perforated with an oval hole, large enough to admit a man's head. A curious though rudely executed bird's eye view of the Stones of Stennis is given in the Arciiaea- logical Scotica, from a drawing executed by the Rev Dr. Henry, about the year 1780. and there a man and woman are seen interchanging vows, plighted by the pro- mise of Odin, which Sir Walter Scott refers to as the most sacred of northern rites yet practised among uj." The vow was sworn while the engaging party joined hands through the perforation in the stone and though it is difficult to decide how much of the tradition may be ascribable to modern embeltishment.and the adaptation of a general heir- loom of primitive superstition to the pre-conceived theories of local untiquaries, there cannot be a doubt of the popular sacred ness attached to this sacramental stone in former times." Thus far have I quoted Wilson I shall now proceed with my letter, which 1 sincerely hope and tru^ will serve to induce some influential person to place the very extraor- dinary and also rare perforated stone, which came under my notice, in some place of security; jn the grounds of any gentleman it would be an object, if not of scientific, at least of physical curiosity. I next directed my steps to the most magnificent Crom- lech iu Breconshire. sometimes called Kingstone," some- times Coitan-y-Cewri," and, if memory does not deceive me, also Llech-y-Cyollwyn." The tradition which is still in the mouth of babes as well as of old men iI, tbat this was a Quoit" of other days, which the giants, then living in the land, used to pitch from its present situation to a distant eminence, and back again. Now, Mr. Editor, if there are any young readers of your paper who wish to know the difference between a Cromlech and sepulchral stone inclosures, whether above or under ground, let him visit Coitau-y-Cewri, and compare it with the other magnificent cromlechs to be 'ound in this island, aud which never could have been constructed for sepulchral purposes. I however strongly advice that excavations should be made round this lasting monument of Celtic PQWH, and, especially at the back part, where the ground seems to swell as if artificially raised. I ought to observe that one of the fields which abuts upon thi. cromlech is still called in other words, the fields of his Infernal Majestyand here I may add, that in numerous cases known to myself, the true Cromlech labours traditionally under a bad name—nor should we wonder at this. The true Cromlech was a monument, and a lasting mon- ument, of the religion of the earliest patriarchal age; and, as I believe, may be historically proved to have existed some fifteen or sixteen hundred years before Christ. It was intimately connected with the pub ic services of that antient priest c^ste w hom we now call Druids, and whose system was violently overthrown and crushed by our Romau invaders, who regarded the influence of the Druids as incompatible with their imperial dominion. Soon afterwards the conversion to Christianity of the great body of the Romanising Britons, caused a wi.1er gulf to open between them, and their Druid-respecting kinsmen in Scotland, Ireland, and some other detached portions of this island. Consequently all the records of the Druidical period which could be destroyed without great labour ceased to exi-t, while such monuments liS the Cromlechan, which could not be overthrown without a great expenditure of labour, were allowed to remain imperishable memorials of the skill and power of our ancestors. But still, although the new authorities could not destroy them, they could give them a bad name; and hence arise the foul names which in numerous cases are attached in common language, not only to the Cromlechs, but almost to every other stone memorial, whether circular or perpen- dicular, of the Ante-Roman period. As I feel that my present communication is q.¡ite as long aslcan expect you to inseit in our paper, I stop for t ie present, and I hope (D.V.) to give you a full account of tbe rest of my day's walk, and especially to call the attention of your readers to the real character of that memorable structure, commonly called Ty-llltud, aud which has no connection, either religiou81yor artistically, with the primitive Cromlecn on Kingstone Hill, but belongs to a much later period. I am, Sir, your3 truly. JOHN WILLIAMS, Archdeacon of Cardigan. Llandoveiy, Aptil 26,1851.

HOUSE OF COMMONS THURSDAY. A great uumber of petitions were presented, principally complaining of agricultural distress, for the repeal of the malt tax, against the existing Law of Settlement, and for and against the Ecclesiastical Titles bill. Mr. H. Bailie postponed his motion with respect to Ceylon to Tuesday, the 27th inst. Mr. Cayley the;) brought forward the motion of which he had given notice for the repeal of the Malt Tax, contending that no measure short of a return to the system of com- mercial legislation which this country had unhappily aban- doned, would give so much relief to the agricultural inter- est. If there was to be no Corn Law legislation, there ought to be no Corn Law taxation and it was in order to remedy this injustice, and to bring the burthens of the agricuiturists within the compass of their means, that he proposed to re- peal a tax am. nnting to 70 or 100 per cant, upon one of their commodiiies. The effect of this tax was to enhance the price of the poor man's beer 500 per cent., and to drive him from his own hearth to the giu-palace and beer-shop. If the tax upon this national beverage were repealed, the consumption would be stimulated in at least an eqml degree to that which followed the reduction of the duties upon coffee and tea, and there would be a further natural demand for 10,000,000 quarters of man tfactered barley. The repeal of the tax would, besides, relieve the hop-growers, and give increased employment to 100,000 persons. The lion, gen- tleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Malt Tax. The motion was supported by Mr. Alcock, Mr. Floyer, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Frewen, and Mr. H. Drummond and op- posed by Mr. Packe, Mr. Agliouby, Mr. Trelawney, Mr. Wodehouse, and Mr. J. Satidars. The Chancellor of the Exchequer appealed to evidence showing that the malt tax, which yielded last year £ 5,4ii0,(X)0 was collected more economically than any other tax of equal amount, and that the Excise regulations interfered less with the manufacturer. The repeal of the malt tax, the Right Hon. Baronet observed, would encourage illicit distillation and Mr. Cayley had made a strange proposition that the hop growers, who paid only X400,000, should be pacified by the sacrifice ot £5,000,000, If the house consented to give up this amount of revenue there would be no possibility of geiting rid of the income tax, or of carrying out a sy-ite n of policy for which that tax was continued. Mr. D'Jsraeli contended that prosperity could never be restored to the country until the agricultural interests were placed upon a level with the rest of the community. To effect this he did not ask for a reversal of the commercial policy of the country; he only asked that it should be made consistent by relieving the agriculturists from their unfair burthens now that they had been obliged to resign the ad- vantages they possessed when those burdens were imposed. Mr. Hume also supported the motion, contending that the lows to the revenue from the repeal of the tax might be made up by a reduction of expenditure, and by a legacy duty on real as well as on personal property. Mr. Bass said he had heard nothiogin the course of the debite which tended in the slightest degree to alter the opinion, he had expressed last year against this tax. Should the motion be rejected, he would at a future day move that half the tax be taken off. Lord John RusseU reminded the house that if the present motion were agreed to, a deficiency of upwards of five mil- lions would be created in the revenue without any means of supplying it. Alter a brief reply from Mr. Cayley, the house divided, when the numbers were—for the motion 122, against it 25S majority against the motion, 136. Mr. Hume moved for the appointment of a Select Com- mittee to enquire into the present mode of assessing and collecting the Income and Property Tax, and to consider whether any other system of levying the same, so as to ren- der the tax more equitable, can be adopted. The motion gave rise to a lengthened discussion, but it was ultimately agreed to without a division. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house was adjourned shortly before two o'clock. FRIDAY. An immense number of petitions against the Papal Ag- gression, and for more stringent measures for its sup- pression, were presented. Viscount IVmerston, in reply t) a question from Mr. TJrquhart, said that by the last communication" from the provinces the liussian troops had commenced evacuating them, and their retirem nt was expected to be completed in a fortnight. The Tuikish foices were also preparing to depart. The Huuga<ian Re- fugees had not yet been liberated, but he hoped tiiey would be before long.—Iu reply to questions from Mr. T. Duncombe, the noble Viscount further stited that t' e British government was not in any way connected with the occupation (jf Rome by the French troops. The French government had assured her Majesty's Ministers that their object was not to retain permanent occupation of Rome, but they reserved to themselves the right to decide upon the time of withdrawing the troops. On the motion for considering the Property Tax bill as amended, the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed a clause giving to tenant farmeri the right of appeal in the event of their profits falling short of the sum at which they are now assessed. Mr. D'lsraeli and Colonel Sibthorp expressed their satis- faction at this concession to the agriculturists, after which the clause was added to the bill. The bill as amended was then agreed to, and the third reading fixed for Monday. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. Urquhart moved, as an amendment, a resolution to the effect that the recent act of the Pope had been encouraged by the conduct of the ministry, and that the publication by Lord John Russell of his letter to the Bishop of Durham, which contained expressions calculated to wound the reli gious feelings of many of her Majesty's subjects, produced large expectations of legislative remedies which had been disappointed by the provioions contained in the measure now submitted to the house. Mr. Sadler seconded the arDsndmen-, which was strongly opposed by Sir G. Grey, Mr. Freshfield, Sir R. H. Iuglis, Lord D. Stuart, Mr. Plumptre, Lord John Russell, Mr. Deedes, and Sir T. D. Ackland and supported by Lord John Manner., Mr. Stafford, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. D'lsraeli, and Mr. Roebuck. Mr. Spooner said he was unwilling to give a silent vote on the occasion. The motion t ey were called on to affirm was that the conduct not only of the present government, but ot other governments, for some time, had been such as to induce the Pope to make that aggression of which the people had so much right to complain. He could not refuse to affirm that proposition, for it was true. He believed that by affirming it they would do more to support the bill than hon. members were aware of. They would thereby read a lesson to the government, and let them know that they would only be supported when pursuing a right course. Hitherto their course had been to endeavour to conciliate those who were not to be conciliated and by yielding to the Roman Catholics, to court their approbation and sup. port. Toleration was what they asked. Toleration they bad got; but they were not satisfied, nor would they be satisfied with anything short of supremacy. Believing the time bad come to make a firm stand against their encroach- ments, he was determined to vote for the motion. He did not think the Ministers were aware of the evils which their policy was producing. If they looked to the majority in that house they need not be alarmed; for no Minister dared do otherwise than go on with a measure much better than the present. If the result of the division shoulJ be such as to induce the noble lord to resign, there would still be those who wou'd take up the question. He had no hesi- tation in saying that no Government could stand for more than a few weeks unless they gave an assurance that they meant to bring forward a much stronger measure than the one before the hou-e. The Protestant feeling was too deeply rooted to make him at all apprehensive of this bill being altogether lost; and, se ing no danger in delay, but great danger iu refusing to affirm the resolution, he should give it his vote. On a division takinir nlaptv the numbers werp— Fortheamendment. 201 Against it 280 Majority tor Ministers 79 The result was received with loud cheering trom the Ministerial benches.—The Committee on the bill was ad- journed until Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house was adjourned shortly before two o'clock. MONDAY. On the order of the day that the Speaker do leave the chair, oa going into committee upon the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, Mr. Moore interposed an objection of form, that the bill had been introduced without a compliance with the stand- ing order, which requires that no bill relating to religion, or for altering laws concerning religion, shall be brought into the house until the proposition shall have been first con- sidered in a committee of the whole house, and agreed to by the house. He argued that the bill applied not only to temporal incident?, but to vital and essential points of re- ligion, and therefore fell within the purview of the standing order. The Speaker adhered to the opinion that it was not one which it was necessary to introduce through a committee of thewhotehonse. After a fervid attack upon the bill by Mr. Grattan, Mr. Reynolds moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. Keogh cited the opinion of certa:o eminent legal authoiities, that the bill, in its original >tate, with the ex- punged cl<us*s, would render it illegal for anv ltoman Catholic prelate to exercise his official functions as arch- bishop or bishop of any province or see it the united king- dom. atthough such functions were merely episcopal and spiritual, and had no reference whatever to any temporal rights or authority. He, tiierefoie, insisted tnat the bill came within the standing order. The Solicitor-General CJU idered that t he term "religion" in the standing order refcrie I to faith and doctrine, not to ecclesiastical management, superintendence, or jurisdiction, and this bill did not affect faith an 1 doctrine or spiritualities of auy kmd. The spiritual fui ct ons ot Roman Catholic prelates did not defend upon their titles. Be-ides, it was clear that the faith and doctrine referred to in the standing order were those of the established religion of the country, with which this bill di I not process to tamoer. Mr. GLd-tone w is prepare I to support a motion for th appointment of a select committee, because ail must admit that the precedents were eminently unsatisfactory, and, although the labours of the committee might Ira i t • toe conclusion that there was no reason to interfere with the progress of this bill, they would afford a mot valuable guide for the future. There was some colour for the pro- position of the Solicitor-General, that the true meaning of the term" relig-ion" in the standing order was, not religion in general, but the established religion of the country, tie leant to that construction but the course of precedents applicable to that construcitou was by no means decisive. The Solicitor-General had argued that bi Is affecting inju- riously the securities of the established church should b- introduced through a pieluuiuary committee. The house had then to decide whether a bill tending to streng iiei. those securities should conform to the order or not. This bdl was intended to strength-n the established religion 0 he country, and he thought the rule oug'it to apply both ways. house divided vthen the adjournment of the debztte was negatived by 179 to 53, Mr. Liw'siq ttico moved lb? adjournrnfot of the but, upon a further division, this motion was negative i by 145 to -36. Mr M. J. O'Connell spoke in opposition to the bill, and to all legislation, uBlillhe Pop" should asiu ne temporal or civil jurisdiction. If the church of England were assailed let her defend herself. Mr. Keogh asked if the bill wa' only Ihe complement of the a t of 1S23. why was it not strictly confined to England? Would the Government give a pledge that it wouid not be put in face ill Ireland ? If not, il was a departure (rom the act of 1829, from which the enacting part o: tiie bill, in con- jlJ1!C!¡0n with the prea nile, differed in spirit and 1[\ The preamble of the bill, he affirmed, coubined t'nree eis- tinct and admitted falsehoods, introduced lomyslify Enghsh gentlemen. The uob'.e lord had withdrawn the second an 1 third clauses because he wiv Id not fetter thl: sp ri'nal functions of the Irish Roman Catholic prelates, whereas the effect of those clauses remained operative in ,he first clause and would repeal the Charitable Bequests Act. The Gov- ernment had alleged that the act of the Pope was a direct insult to the Protestant feeling of England; but 2f12 mem- bers of that house had aflirnied that that act had been en- couraged, as it had been, by the government. He had himself seen the British Consume at Rome illuminated when Cardinal Wisemin was created Archbishop of West- minster. The proposed exemption of the prelates of the Scottish episcopal church showed that this bill was aimed solely against the Roman Catholic religion. Lord J. Russell replied to Mr. Keogh, observing that since the act of 1829 the spiritual functions of Roman Cath- olic bishops had been exercised it could not, therefore, be pretended that this bill which applied its provisions to Eng- land would prevent their exercise. It ought not to be the policy of any Government to seek out offences for the pur- pose of prosecution; but when a person came here clothed with authority from the pope, declaring that he had been pleased to divide this country into dioceses and to abolish the Archbishopric of Canterbury, asserting a right to rule and govern England,—this was not a qniet exercise of re- ligious or even a violation of the mere letter of the law, but an open and d :ring deiiauce of the Sovereignty of the Crown, which parliament could not tolerate, and an offence ag¡,inst the independence of the nation. He knew not what might be the consequence if, by giving way to a notion that civil and religious liberty was infringed, we sacrificed that independence, or exchanged oar national freedom for the kind of rel gious liberty enjoyed at Rome. There was nothing like persecution in this bill; it was a political measure directed against a political act; the people of this country never would suffer the name of religious liberty to be prostituted to cover a foreign aggression. Mr. Bright said, no hu>iian being had yet laid his finger on the particular wound supposed to be inflicted by the Pope or had suggested a remedy if there were a wound. No lawyer had given a logical detinltion of what was the matler with us. It bad been admitted that the law of 1829 had not been broken; why, then, should there be a more stringent law for Irelmil ? He acknowledged that offensive language had been used, but priests in power were prone to use offensive language. He denied that there had been any attack upon the supremacy of the Crown in the sense in which the ter n had been used by Lord J. Russell; the only supremacy recognised in this country was that üf Parliament aud the law. He justified the substitutioa of bishops in ordinary for vicars apostolic, which was calculated to re- lieve the Roman Catholics of England from ultramontane influence: and as to the attack upon the independence of the nation, it was a matter too ludicrous to discuss. This wa, now to be treated as a poJilicai question, but the bdl would not touch the Pope or Cardinal Wiseman it would injure only the government and the legislature of England. The noble lord had got into a quagmire, and he (Air. Bright) propoced that this bill, which nobody liked but himself, should be withdrawn—a bill which would fow discord be- tween England and Ireland, and would never have been introdueed If all its consequences hId been foreseen,- Mr. Scully moved that the debate be adjourned; but the motion was negatived by 365 to 54-, A motion being then made for the adjournment of the bouse, Lord J. Russell gave way, and the debate was adjourned until Thursday. The Property Tat Bill was read a third time an 1 pissed. The other orders and motions having been disposed of the house adjourned at a quarter b¡.fore 2 o'clock. 8' CARDIFF POLICE.—MONDAY. [Before William Bird, Esquire, Mayor. ] FURIOUS DRIVING.

No one would as- sist me, and I could not tike the defendant. Superintendent Stockdale said that whit he most com- plained of was Mr Jones's conduct, who, after sending for a policeman and insisting upon his taking the defendant into custody, not only refused to give any assistance him- self but did not provide any; and after the defendant was in custody he called at the statiou-house and said-" Please let that mango as I do not intend to appear against him." Mr. Jones was in court. He heard this statement but said nothing in reply. The defendant, whose only plea was drunkenness, was convicted in the penalty of 10s. and costs.—Paid. THE LAW KNOWS NO DISTINCTION OF PERSONS. "At the Marlborough-street Police-office on Monday last, Captain Paulet Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having norsewhipped Police-constable Grifnn, one of the constables stationed at the Great Exhibition. Police-constable Griffin, D 69, said he was stationed with other constables on the carriage road leading to the Exhi- bition, orders having been issued by the Commissioners, in writing, to allow no carriages in that road, but to^ oblige all vehicles to go up Rotten-row. About three o'clock that afternoon he saw the defendant driving a phaeton and a pair of horses up the road at a rapid pace. He wa-then thirty or forty yards from the carriage, aud he immediately sig- nalled to the defendant to go back by holding up his hands. The defendant took no notice of the signal, and he called out to him that there was no thoroughiate for carriages up that road, and tnat he must go up Rotten-row. The de- fendant whipped his horses, upon which witness caught hold of the reins, and then received a dozen blows from the whip in the defendant's hand over his head and shoul- ders. The defendant called out to him to let go the horses, to which he replied." No. you cannot go up this road." Witness, however, did let go the reins, as he feared the carriage would be upset, as it was almost on the bank,and then defendant whipped his horses into full gallop, and tried to get away. The defendant, however, was stopped by the horse patrol. The defendant in his fltght dropped a horse-cloth from the phaeton. The blows with the whip were given over the face and shoulders. About four lashes fell on his face, drawing blood s.ightly. Defendant: Did I nut say to you 1 was not going to the Exhibition? Constab'e I did not hear you say a word. Mr. Hardwick asked the constable if his orders applied to all carriages whether going to the Exhibition or not? The constable said. the orders were applicable to all car- naitea not one was to be permitted to pass up the road. Police-constable Hornsby, D 63, was on du'y in the fame road. Saw the constable hold up his hands to the defend- ant, at the same time calling out that no carriages were allowed in that road. The defendant paid no heed to the warning, and when the horses in the phaeton were laid hold of, he began lashing the constable with his whip over the head and face. The defendant then galloped his horses as hard as he could up the road. The defendant said, he did not know the nature of the orders issued to the police. He had driven along the same road the previous day without interruption, and he was not aware that he could not do so on that day. He denied that his horses were going faster than at a tiot. The constable seized the reins and nearly threw one of the horses, a young one, on its haunches. Fearing the horse would kick, he desired the constable to let go The constable would not, aud he lost his temper and struck him. He considered he had not met with that courtesy from the police which a gentleman was entÏtleJ to expect. Robert Madder, defendant's groom, was called for the defence.—His master's horses were trotting, not gallopping, when the policeman laid hold of the reins. Before that his master had called out he was not going to the Exhibition. Mr. Hardwick (to the defendant). — It matters very little whether the warning given by the police-constable at Ken- sington-gate was seen or not. Two other constables sig- nalled you, and then, whether gentleman or coachman, it was your duty to pull up at the instant. Instead of doing this you drove on furiously, an5 paid no attention to the constables. Defendant: I should have stopped if treated with proper civ,lit; Mr. Hardwick: If officers exceed their duty there is an easy remedy by complaint to the commissioners or to a magistrate. ] own I am surprised that an officer in her Majesty's service should not have set a better example of obedience to those in authority. Constabtesmustbe pro- tected in their duty, and examples must be made of all per- sons who obstruct or injure them in their duty. You will go to the House of Correction for ten days, Defendant: House of Co: rection Pray allow me to pay a fine. I trust }Ol/ will consider your decision over again. Sch a sentence will probably oblige me to leave my regi- ment. I will pay any fine you may inflict. Mr. Hardwick: N.); I Jecliue to make any alteration in the r-eiftence. The law knows no distinetioo of per SOu., and there are no circu >>s-anevs of mj,j.¡;ation in your case, aR you. from your position, ought to have set au example of obe lience to those in autboiity. Ciptain So nerset wis then removed to the lock-up cells, evidently iu a state of most uncomfortable bewilderment. iwmilj llll

THE LATE CHINFSE WAR.— A t-eturnwas printed hy order ot Use House of Lords, on Monday, containing a correspondence between the East India Company and the Treasury, on the subject of a claim for payment of £400,00U, alleged to be due on accouut oi the expenses of the la(E Chinelie war. The correspondence, whjch ili of au interesting character, commenced on the 13th June, 1845, when the East India Company apijiitd for payment on account of the China expedition, and ended on the 29th April last; an.1 d this present time the subject is under consideration. The Treasarv in a recent cow municatioD insisted (II) being paid £ 3U.S,4ii(> 17 s, ItJ. ùu, 'roui the corupan), which they refused unbss the claim or account of tiie China expedition was settled. The Trea- sury appointed Sir b. COmll aud Mr. Uamilsou to ex- mime the accounts. The Company -aw no u-cesstty to such appointment, but promise to turni«li these gentleme' tit u iu forma I ion, and the wafer, which had occasionei some strong remonstrances from both parlies, is now in the pourss of inve#tigatiufl.

THE INCOME TAX. THE Income-tax still exists, and will ex'st until a change is ma le in the commercial policy of this country. The Whig Cabinet, Free-trade, and the Income-tax, are connected with each other. You cannot separate the Graces. When one of them depirts, the others must follow if vou cannot bear to bid adieu to a single charmer, you triu-t make up your mini to enteitaiu the entire triad. Lord John Ru-'sell will fight for the Income-tax to the very la-t; and, like the Highland wild cat, he is al w,y3 most dangerous just as lie is ou the point ot' being worrieu. t # « ,¡t- Our opinion is qu'te decided that any larje addition to the constituencies or these kingdoms would tend not only to nerpetuate, but ultimately to augment the Income-tax. This impost must neces m'ily be a favourite with every m'lu who is not rated to it. Electors Jones & Smith, each with an income of X140 per annum, rejoice in direct taxation from which they are exempted, and have no bowels of com- pission at all for Elector Brown, who, as he happens to be more industrious than they, is mulcted of seven-pence in the pound! Jones wishes to have his tobacco cheaper, and Mrs. Smith entirely agrees with Mr. Cardwell, that the duty should be taken off tei-aiid the Joneses and Smiths being now a majority, there is no difficulty in obtaining their desires. There is a deficit, however, in the revenue, and that deficit must be made up Jones swears he will not contribute a farthing; and Smith, more ferocious still, an- nounces his intention of following the example of Wat Tyler, in the event of his receiving a visit from that unpo- pular personage, the tux-gatherer. In this position, Brown becomes an animal of immense value. He pays already sevenpence in the pound—why should he not comedown with his shilling? And so it is decided, by a majority, that the indirect taxes formerly paid by Jones and Smith shall for the future be levied directly from the purse of Brown, who may consider himself remarkably fortunate if he is allowed to retain one-half of the fruits of his industry. No impost is so popular in Irpland as the Income-tax—for this rea-ou, that nobody is called upon to pay it. We have never yet been quite able to understand the esieritial difference be- tween the recipient of the same sum of money, according to their situation on this or the other side of the Irish Channel; but our du) ness does not alter the fact, that Ireland has been exempted from the tax. Is it always to remain so? Undoubtedly, if the decision on this matter is left to the Irish members. There is, therefore, we think, danger to the property of this country, so long as the Income-tax continues to be levied. Any change in the constituencies of the empire which should have the effect of throwiog the real power into the hands of that class which is exempted from direct taxation, could not be otherwise than perilous in the ex- treme; and we hope that even Lord John Russell, rash he is, will pause before committing himself irrevocably to a scheme which can end in nothing but confiscation.— Britannia. .41W JULES JANIN ON THE EXHIBITION. The following extract from a letter by Jules Janiti to the Debate, descriptive of the opening of the Loudon Exhibition, will be read with interest The sky, yesterday, was overcast with clouds, it rained at regular intervals, all thesignsof the zodiac prognosticated a storm, and I expressed my fears for the next day. Fear nothing,'said an Englishman to our Queen is fortunate; she has the sun chained to her car; to-day we shall have rain, to-nmrrow fitie weather. Sixhastheprtvitfgeofthe Emperor Augustus, and the month of May wiil not betray her.' He spoke with the assurance of a man who was sure of what he said, and it certainly never struck him that the sun might give her Majesty the slip at the very moment she would want il for herself and her guests. These English re- spect and adore themselves on their knees in the person of their Sovereign. They contemplate her just as they would contemplate their own picture, executed by a great artist, and euchased in a golden frame charged with the armorial bearings of their families. To speak or think ill of the Queen would be the height of folly in their eyes, & like that of a free man slapping his own face. These sentiments of a true people surprise us in our days; and we, the French people, who were formerly the safeguard of all monarchies, and who never used to separate those two forces, I God and the King,' base now reached to such a point as to admire those Eo- glish sentiments as something quite extraordinary. Certain it is that this festival would be deficient in grandeur and solemnity, were it not preside i over by the Queen that no one would rely upon this pale sun without the general con- viction that the sun obevs the Queen, and that there would not be a voice loud enough to say to the people of the uni- verse, I Ye nations, the lists are were there not the voice of the Queen to proclaim it to the worlds, the oceans, the stars Still so it is; I am sorry to tell the Democrats, but there are sometimes in the life of a great people cert iiu signals of peace or war, which can only be given from considerable altitudes and a long time must elapse before we cease to regret a sovereign power to walk in our public solemnities, surrounded by our viable respect and unani- mous sympathy. I remember having been present, after 1848, at the inauguration of an important railroad. The company was numerous and select; the weather beautiful, and the liue leading to the shores of the ocean important. Nevertheless, an undefiaable feeliug of discomfort was felt throughout the day, not only among the travellers of the first train, but even among the people who had come to see the spectable. A chief, a visible chief, was wanting at the ceremony. We were lei by a Democrat of those days, in a seedy coat and a shabby hat, and more like a b^er- bibber in a pot house, than like one of the chiefs of an elegant society that has Louis XIV,. Voltaire, and the Martha) of Richelieu, grace, wit, and Majesty, among its ancestors. Alas! but a short time ago we, too, had a King who still represented French greatness; he was born upon Jieurs de lis, had thriven in the midst of storms, and his old age preserved the double stamps of royalty and misfortune. There he was, in his capital city, equally surrounded by hatred and respect, blasphemy and ra;e, smiling in peri! as well as in triumph. In the days of the last Exhibition which illustrated that happy reign, in 1844, I recollect having seen our King penetrate into the palace of the Champs Elysees; he was both King and Judge; he under- stood everything, he spoke to every one in his own lan- guage he knew the secret of many fortunes and sufferings he went, like the first citizen of the people whom he covered with his sacred shade, and on his way e-try one was anxious to receive with respect the most insigni!icant word of that ex- cellent man who had proved himself equal to such various fortunes. Those were his hours of pomp and majesty those the pageants he loved, without noise; without au escort save that of some men of science or art, giv ng his arm to the Queen; it was easy to recoguiae the King ofa great people, a king worthy ot our remembrance, and who would have long been our saviour if we had wished to be saved. To day we have been present at the pomps and pageant of antique Royal majesty. This day, but a few minutes ago, we, the men of this rebellious age, we who reap the discord and tempe-ts sowed by our lathers, we sceptics who blush to obey the law, and who bend our dis- honoured heads to the necessity of an iron yoke, we have con- templated, but a few yard. from us, that thing without a name with m; a throne !—that forgotten giea'ness: majesty! that almighty force: respect! From theearlicstJawn we have seen a whole people hastening from every corner of thij immense city, to the rendezvous to which their Queen convened them, anil await her patiently and unanimously on her passage, solely for tile pleasure and happiness of presenting their homage arid respect to her. The English are a strange people always calm, Insty within certain limits only; patient even in their enthusiasm, they know that all must come to pass in its turn. As they will not be governed, they govern themselves, and should anyone disobey the given Older, the tiist person on the spot as-ists the police- man to arrest him. The very hour is respected; here you do not say eleven when you mean noon; yon mean eleven. And both the Queen and her people have the politeness to be esact in their time."

LONDON MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, MONDAY. At this morning's market the fresh supply of wheat from Essex an Kent was very SlndH, and there was very little from any other district; the whole of the supply was early disposed of at fully last Monday's prices. Foreign wheat for fine quality and iu good condition was in rarher improved demand at the late rates, but inferior and out of condition cargoes were very dull in sale—English barley being scarce was liehf firmly, and foreign met a good demand for the terior, with an upward tendency.—Malt continues without varidl ion.-Oat,; have gone off freely, the increased country demand, and the condition being generally go.'d from the quick passages made by the vessels, having counteracted any effect from largearrivals —Beans and peas have all sold readi!y at full prices.—Flour continues the same, & French, from the improvement stated in France, has attiacted more attention than of late.—Floating cargoes of wheat and In- dian corn are again much inquired for, and higher prices of the latter have been obtained for those near at hand, and also for shipments recently made.

SMITHFIELD, MONDAY. The anival of Cattle and Sheep from the Continent into the port of London during the past week has been good. The Custom-house returu gives—461 Oxen, 260 Cows, 433 Calves, 147, Pigs, and 1,088 Sheep, makiug a total of 2,3d7 head.— the supply of meat at Smithfield to-day was very large of every kind, particularly of beef and mutton; and, as the wants of the butchers were generally moderate, the trade ruled slow throughout the day, and a decline in prices had to be submitted to in most instances. There were up- wards of 4,700 bead of oxen 011 show, being much tue largest supply for months past. The trade was inactive and heavy. Prime Scots made 3s. 4d. per stone, being 2d. lower tlia 1 on Monday la-t; inferior beef so d at 2s. 21. to 3s. 21., being likewise 2d. per stone under last Friday's lower tha ) on Monday la-t; inferior beef so d at 2s. 21. to 3s. 2J., being likewise 2d. per stone under last Friday's quotations. A great many head were turned out unsold. Of hhe-p the supply comprised upwards of 29,0d0 head, and which exceeded the number required to supply the wants of the trade. Business was dull all the day at a de- cliue of 2d. per stone. Downs in the wool went at from 4s. to 4s. 4d. per SIb., Polled sheep at 3- and half-breds at 3s. lOJ. per stone.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LO PIDS.-THURSDAY. On the motion of Lord Campbell, the Administration of Criminal Justice, tiie Prevention of OfTeitces, and the Reg- istration of Assurance b lis were sevei illv referred to a Select Committee On the motion of the E trl of CiriisL", and after a short di<cu«s:rtu, the Apprentices and Servants bill wa-3 read the tii.r,i time and passed. Several h'lis "II the table were L1" .,r,je; a st ge, and their lordships then adjourn ad. F III DAY. Lord Lvttletori presented two petitions from Van Die- Land, signed by many thousands of the inhabitants, praving for tie eutire abandonment of the practice of transporting felons to that c dony. A discussion relative to the system of tr,msportafoo en- sued, in which the Archbishop of Dublin, Earl Grey, the Bishops of Salisbury and Oxford, Lord Monteagle, the Duke of Argyle, and other noble Lords took part; after which the petitions were ordered to lie on the table, and their lordships adjourned until Monday. MONDAY. The E-rl of Glengall presented a petition from the grand jury of the county of Tipperary praying for protection for home made against foreign flour. The noble Earl, after repeating the arguments which have been before brought to bear on this subject, concluded by expressing his con- viction that free trdde would be destructive of all the best interests of the country, and that under its fatal dominion industry would never reap the advantages which were its due, and that skill and energy would be of no use. Earl Granville, though he admitted that the Irish mill- owners were suffering distress, denied that those sufferings were caused by free trade. He attributed them rather to the improvements which had lately been introduced in the construction of mills and machinery, the effect of which was that those millers who had only a limited capital suf- fered, while those who had the command of capital pros- pered. In conclusion, he declared that the Government would be very glad to enter fully into the question as soon as the noble Earl should submit a definite proposition to the house. A discussion of considerable length followed, in which The Earls of Malmesbury, Eard vicke, andLucan.and the Marquess of Clanricarde and the Duke of Argyll joined. The subject then dropped. The Church Building Acts Amendment Bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee, and their Lordships adjourned.

GENERAL MISCELLANY. It is stated semi-nfficially, that by the gracious per- mission of the Queen, the privilege of admission to the Royal pleasure-grounds at Kew will be considerably ex- tended dining the present summer Season." The Chapter of Westminster Abbey have appointed two interpreters to assist the regular attendants in explaining the chief features to the numerous foreigners who daily visit the Abbey. It is understood that the Queen intends to give a third State Ball io the month of June next, and that, for the encouragemeot of trade, her Majesty has resolved that it shall be a Fancy Ball. The costume will be the full-dress of the Court of King Charles the Second, from the Resto- ration in 1660 to 168;3. The choice of dress will not be limited to this country, but will include the Court costumes of that period of other European countries. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Princess Louisa, the Prince of Prus- sia and Prince William of Prussia, and several of the Royal Household, visited the Exhibition in Hyde Park Saturday morning shortly after nine o'clock. In conse- quence of the private nature of the visit, few persons were present; but those who were, received the Royal party with enthusiastic cheers. After inspecting the greater portion of the building, and having minutely enquired as to many of the works exhibited, the Royal party returned to Buckingham Palace at eleven o'clock. — It is stated that several provincial Clergymen have written to the Execu- tive Committee, proposing to bring up all their parishioners in a body for a day's view of the Exhibition.—The Na- tional Provincial Bank of England has given four days' holiday to each of its clerks to view the Exhibition, and several other public companies and private firms have fol- lowed 1 he example, and also presented seas,iii tickets to their officials. Large bodies of Germans and other for- eigners are known to have the intention to visit England in a body, and the Consuls General are making pre- parations to afford them due protection and assistance. Special agents are also engaged in providing accom- modation. THE £ s. d. OF PURGATORY.—Tl»e following was posted about 23 years ago in the churches of Madrid: —Ihe Sacred and Royal Bank of Piety has relieved its esta- blishment in 1721, to November, 1826 — n, _M 1,030,395 souls at an expense ot 11,402 ditto, from Nov.

Du BVRRY'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD—THE REVA- LENTA A RABICA.- We take pleasure in bringing to the notice of our readers a remedy which has the merit of being at once nice, safe, speedy, and sure (without medi- cine inconvenience or expense, as it saves fifty times i)s costs in other means of cure) for dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, diarrhoet, nausea, and sickness during preg- nancy, at sea, or under any other circumstances, acidity, heartburn, flatulency, distension, hemorrhoidal affections, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, palpitation of the heart, cramps, spasms, fits, headaches, derangement of the kidneys and bladder, cough, asthma, dropsy, scrofula, consumption, debility, paralysis, depression of spirits. &c- DU BARRY'S ILEVALENTA ARABICA FOOD, which is easily prepared, even on board ship or in a de- sert, is the best lood for invajids and delicate infants, as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, but imparts a healthy relish tor luocb and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion and muscular action and nervous energy to the most enfeebled. It has the highest approbation of Lord Stuart de Decies; the Venerable Archdeacon Alex- ander Stuart, of lloss—a cure ot three years' nervousness Major-General Thomas King, of Exmouth; Captain Par- ker D.

From the arrivals from the ice that have already taken place there is reason to believe that this will be a most suc- cessful fishing. Up tn the 3rd of April 12 schooners and brigs had arrived with the skins and oil of 46,000 seals. One vessel had a,70J skins on board—the average price in the English market being about 3s. Gd. per skin. Tue extranrdinary demand which, for several years past, has existed for these skins, and which are now used for that bright enamelled leather required for ladies' shoes, has more than trebled the price of the raw material, and has been a great source of prosperity to the hardy fishermen of Newfoundland.—Glasgow Daily Mail. ENTERTAINMENTS TO DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNERS.— -At a meeting of the Corporation of London, held in the Guildhall, on Saturday, it was resolved that an entertain- ment or entertainments should he given to the distin- guished foreigners who have visited the metropolis upon the occasion of the Great Exhibition of \ll Nations, and a committee was appointed to consider and report upon the most eligible means of accomplishing that object in the Guildhall. We are given to understand that the plan will be upon the most magnificent -scale, and in every respect worthy of the Corporation and the remarkable occasion, and that in the arrangements it will not be forgotten that the first meeting to receive and carry out the magnificent project of Prince Albert took place at the residence of the chief magistrate. The Clothworkers* Company, of which the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor is a member, and his Lordship was master when the grand entertainment was given to the late Sir Robert Peel at Cloth workers'-hall, are about to invite a number of the most distinguished foreigners who are now in this country to a banquet at their hospitable board on an early day. It is said that the other companies are preparing to show the spirit with which they can sustain the character of the citizens of London for hospitality. There wiil be, it is supposed, a most strenuous rivalry. AN EXTRAORDINARY ALTAR PIfWE.

His chagrin may be conceived when he was made to understand that the invitation was of a character so different to that he bad imagined. Å. man has been committed for trial at the next Liver- pool Assizes, for throwing vitriol into the face of a person in the streets of Manchester, whereby the victim Ins nearly lost lirs sight. In the course of a trial at Taunton, Mr. Slade, counsel for the prisoner, asserted that a mm bad a perfect right to beat his wife for misconduct, provided, as Nlr. Justice' Duller had laid it down, that he did not use a stick thicker than his thumb. The Lord Chief Baron repudiated the notion alto- gether. The story abouUjuctice Buller he believed to be a matter of pure invention. If there had ever been such a notion, it had passed away; for if a man only lifted his fin- ger upon his wife, so as to occasion her death, he thereby incurred the Same responsibility as if hehai occasioned the death of the merest stranger.

Selden translated the instru- ment for, foundint; an abbey by Ethelbald, King of the Mercians, to Kennlpb, Abbot of Crowtand versified, as he observes, without Apollo's consent or kuowiedge, by an ancient poet; which, be says, "in rhyme doggiel, will run much after this hobbling rate If any Kn^lish vex this Keuulph, shall I, King, condemn to me his chattels all. Thenceforth, until my monks he satisfy, for damages, in prison he shall lie. Witnesses of this girt, here in GOD'S sight, Are English Peers and Prelates of my ri^ut.
