Wg.*tated on Wednesday the t. there bad been
more corruption practised under tbe close bo
rough system iv Eugland than had ever been
known in any other country, at any period of
the world's history. We bad hardly written
the words conveying that idea, when we light
«•»! upon tke Edinburgh stsessw for April, con
taining a commentary upon the Duke of Wbl
i.iMUTOaT'a " civil correspondence," while he
was chief secreiary to the Duke of Rich
mond, Lord Lieutenant oi Ireland— a period
extending from March WW to April IH«».—
There are copious retraces in this article from
Mie letters of the Duke, at that time Sir Ar-
THta Wblleslev, and we rely npon them to
show that there was more corruption in Ire
land during his brief term ot ottice—two years
aud one month-than there has been in tbe
I'm ted States since the formation of the gov
ernment. It should be premised that the min
istry ol Lord Granville had just resigned,
in consequence of the lung's obstinate deter
mination to make no concession to the prayers
of his Roman Catholic subjects in Ireland,
aud had been succeeded by that well known in
history as ttie Portland ministry, being so
called from ihe Duke of Portland, who
was at tbe head of it. It was of the
last importance to secure as large a ma
jority for the miuistry as possible iv both
countries. Other managers were appointed
«v England; in Irelaud the task of organizing
a system ot corruption on a grand scale, was
entrusted to the Chief Secretary, Sir Aim hi k
Wellesley, whose experience in Indian po
litics teems to have qualified him admirably
for ihe duty. Ou the 27th April, Parliament
was dissolved, and the new elections were
soon to come on. Three days before the dis
solution, Charles Lono, Secretary of the
Treasury, wrote to Sir Arthur Wellesley,
" tke dissolution takes, piace on Monday next,
1,0 that you have iv time to lose in making
your engagements. You will of course see
Pennkfathbrrespecting Cashell, Judge Day
i'eapeciing Tralee, and HAJtIktXK k respecting
Aihlone. I ssfttee tktff ail sell to the bat bid
der."
Of course the high and spotless character to
whom this honorable commission was entrust
ed, made no delay in executing it. lie-imme
diately returned the following business-hie
.laswer :
" Pennefatber has promised me the refusal of

upon the last general election was Mr. Psrnesfl
We have no chance with him, and it would be
to arrange the matter with Lord Portarlington. I
heard that he had sold the return for the last six
years at the last election; and, if that, should be
true, of course we shall not get. it now. I have

The " Hbnry" here alluded to was the Right
Honorable Henry Wellesley, the Dnke of
Wellington's brother. An active corres
pondence followed this letter, in which the
best means of corrupting tbe Irish constitu
encies are discussed with a zeal and intelli
gence that indicate a perfect acquaintance
with, and a hearty interest in, tbe subject
Here is a specimen :
" I have seen Roden about his Itorongh. It is
•■mated for one more session to Lord Stair, under
an old sale for years, and lie must return Lord
•stair's friend, unless Lord Stair should consent to
sell his interest in the borough for the session
which remains, upon which subject he has written
to him. . . Knmakillen told me you might re
commend to his seat at Enmskil'en ; he will, hair
< itr. expect it* value. 's seat at Dundalk
might be had ; as he prt/ers hit biother's claim to
a bishopric, he ought not to be sujfrrid to sal.—
Long will speak to you about Lord Hoden's seat.—
I havedesired Henry to settle for Kriruskillen's. I
have written to Henry about a seat for myself. I
should not ot course like to pay much money fer

roughs—Cashell, Tralee, Knmskilien—Atalone,
possibly. . . . A name lor Athlone, in case we
should have the borough Tell Lord Palmerston
to give me his interest to Sligo, and desire his
agent. Henry Btewart, to do as T order him. . . .
1 thought it advisable to encourage Nr.Crokerto
persevere at Downpatrick. He has promised al
legiance, and alt that he required was a sum dT
from 1500/. to 2UfX)/., to enable him to carry on the
contest, and i have by the Dnke of Richmond's
advice promised to supply it. You know how we
are situated in this country for want of money for
•ervioss of this description. . . . The sum
whioh I hays consented to advance for the purpose
of Croker's election, must come either out of the
civil list, or out of any fund applicable for election
purposes in England, indeed, I believe that at
all events it ought to come in the first instance
from the latter, as the process is long by which we
must get the money from the civil list fund; it is
wanted immediately, and, 1 eutpect, that 1 shall he
obliged to make use of my own credit, in the first
• us.snce, to procure v. | Sir Arthur adds in a
postscript, that if Mr. Croker succeeds, he will
have to vaoate an office of 3001. a year, which will
revert to Government, and will serve to bribe
t-o.iiebml) else. I 1 hare organized a contest f>r
the Knight of Kerry, and 1 have hopes we shall
bring in Colonel Crosbie instead of him."
He had attempted, it seems, toenter into "an
engagement" with the Knight of Kerry, but
had failed. It was not ot ten that he met with
.such stubborn resistance. Here is another de
lectable extract:
" i heard from Lord Castloreagh, respecting the
return of Mr. Ifuintin Dick, and 1 have settled
that he shall be returned for Cashell. Justice Day
had. aa usual, opened a negotiation for the sale of
Tralee. havin;-' before agreed with the Government
here that we should have the borough. Lord
Castlereagh discovered that Dick waa to be the
purchaser, and recommended that he should he
mender lor any place rattier than Tralee. 1 have
therefore put him in for Cashell: and as Henry
desired that either he or I might lie returned for
either of the Irish seats, the eleotions for which
should be on an early day. I have desired Judge
Day to return me mr Tralee, and I shall desire
HardWteke to return Henry for Athlone. The
•lections for both these pUces uinst be for Satur
day next, and if between this day and Thursday I
«hou!d hear that it is wished that any particular
person should be returned, I shall he able to ar

Upon these ex tract* tbe Reviewer makes the
fallowing remarks
" These few extracts, gleaned from the numer
ous letters bearing upon the general election of
l«u7, will be sufficient to show the spirit with which
.Sir Arthur Wellesley unhesitatingly threw him
self iu'o the most degrading duties incidental to
<.fnuial life. We find in hia correspondence no
< i.nnu.-r.ta upon tbe baseness of the men with
whom he had to deal-no reluctance to making
himself an instrument by which ihe recently re
formed 'institutions of the country were iiumedi
ately perverted to party purposes-no expressions
of regret at the enormous aad systematic corrup

having ascertained that one of the moat impor
tant duties of that influential and lucrative post
was to corrupt aa many constituencies, and to de

means placed at his disposal would allow, he seems
to hays addressed himself to the task with the
same grave aad deliberate energy which he subse
quently evinced more worthily in organism,'ar
mies and in winning bvttlee. He had taken the
King s shilling, he considered it his duty to obey
orders, and he left tt to those who gave the orders

other Tory-placeman to do that evil work; but
we are glad to admit that Sir Arthur Wellesley ap

We think tke pain expressed by tke Review

It Is mnch to be regretted that Baron Ma
caijlav did not live to see the publication of
this correspondence. It would have ser\ed
him as a book of reference when he published
his next diatribe upon Marlrorouou. It is
well that it did not fall into the hands of hon
est aud prosy Mr. Oleic;, before be published
bis Life of the Duke, otherwise we might have
missed the following innocent and refreshing
paragraph :
'"The Ihike once said to him,' Over and over

proprietor ol a rotten borough, but I would have
nothing to say to the proposal; 1 would not dirty

not yet.seen the lulu; buttons much may be said,
that in an age of universal corruption lie neither
stifled nor coieealcd the scorn which he enter
tained lor the vonal statesmen by whom he was
surrounded.''
The Reviewer panose over this burst of eu
thusiasm ou the part of poor Gleio, with the
single remark that the Duke must have made
the speech here attributed to him, on the same
principle that a witty Frenchman attempted
to reconcile bis taste for the society of mar
ried women, with his disinclination to enter
the married state: " I am very fond of snuff,
but I don't carry a box."
We make these extracts, not to show the ex
ceedingly low moral standard by which the
conduct of Wellington was regulated, but
to give our readers some idea of the imperti
nence of the English press and statesmengpi
pointing to this country as a signal example of
the degiadatiou to which corruption can sink
a people, and in predicting cur approaching
ruin, from the existence of that corruption.—
Were there any weight in what they say,
where would Great Britain be now .'
We now come to the most infamous trans
action, or rather series of transactions, re
corded in the whole history, even of the cor
rupt Government of Great Britain. The
Duke of York, the second son of Gkobok 111.,
and Commander-in-Chief of tbe British Ar
my, although a married man, lived in public
with one Mrs. Clarke, the wife of a stonema
son. He not only did this, but he set up au
establishment for her in Glocester Place, the
most fashionable part of London at that day,
where the pair entered upon a career of un
bounded luxury aud extravagance. Unable to
extort money from her Royal lover, Mrs-
Clakke prevailed upon him to allow her to
sell commissions and promotion toarmyolfi
cers, at prices below the regulation rates ■
and in this way she realized huge sums,
which the pair squandered with the most
u-eckless profusion. So bold did the guiity j
Jparties at last become, that the womau
openly*advertised for business in this line
in the newspapers, and the press at lust
taking up the matter, the affair was brought
into Parliament by Col. Warulk, supported
by Sir Fr.ANt.ts Burdett, Lord Folkestone
and Mr. Whitbrbap. Every possible device
was nsed to screen the culprit. A majority
had been secured in his favor by bribery, but
theobject was to make the public believe him
innocent. To this end the investigation was
submitted to the Committee of the Whole, the
management was entrusted to Lord Mkl
ville, who had himself beeu impeached for
bribery and corruptiou, and witnesses were
hired to swear falsely. Two of these—Gen.
Claveking audCipt. Sandon—were actual
ly committed to Newgate on a charge of per
jury. The Duke of York was acquitted in
spile of the most overwhelming evidence by
tbe bribed Parliament, but the national feeling
was so strong against him, that be was com
pelled to resign. Sir Arthur Wellbslry
came over from Ireland to take his seat in
Parliament, and vote for the Duke, right or
wrong. From day to day he wrote to the
Duke of Richmond, giving an account of the
progress of the trial. The letters are pub
lished in this volume, and it is evident that
though he at first thought him merely impru
dent, and not guil ty,the overwhelming nature
of the testimony at last convinced him to the
contrary. Yet he voted in hi» favor throughout,
and bore testimony iv a speech to the highly ef
ficient state of the army during the Duke's ten
ure of office. Upon this excuse for the Duke,
Cobiiett made the following pithy remark in
his Register: "The Duke of York is accused of
connivance at corruption, and the charge is
met by the assertion that the army is admi
rably drilled and disciplined. If a shepherd
is tried for sheep-stealing, is evidence ever
admitted respecting the healthy condition of
his flock, and the abilities of his sheep
dogs !" The speech of Sir Arthur Wkl
lurley, lauding the Duke, was delivered in
April. Immediately after the trial he pro
ceeded to Portugal, to command the army
there, and on tbe Ist of 3lay, he wrote as fol
lows to Lord Castlbrkagh :
•'The armr behave terribly ill. They are aral>
hie who cannot bear success any more than fir
John Moore's army could Hoar failure. lam en
deavoring to tame them, but if I should not suc
ceed I must in iko an official complaint ol them.and
send one or two corps home in disgrace. They
plunder in all directions "
"Aud again, six weeks later, from Abrantes
<Junel7th)i—
" 1 cannot, with propriety, omit to draw your at
tention again to the state o| discipline oftliear
my, which is a subject of serious concern to me,
and well deserve* the consideration of His Ma
jestv's Ministers."
This army was a specimen of the Duke of
York's skill and fidelity iv managing the af
fairs of the war department. Is it not the
height of impudence to point the finger at this
country, when such sceues as these have just
been laid open to the world, showing the utter
profligacy with which affairs in Englaud
were conducted under the do-.' borough sys
tem, aud total want of common honesty
and common respect for truth, ou the part of
an officer so high in the service as Sir Ar-
TBCR WeLLESLEY ?
With regard to the subject of Mrs. Clarke,
we quote one more letter, not from the Duke
of Wellington, but from Earl Tbui'lb to the
Duke of lit > kinoiiam :
" 'the papers will have told you what passed last
night, and the manner in vlnch Perceval trusting
t'■ a paper tie inn des'roied.and consequently belie v
tag he might aay what he pleased about it. drew
<ut a document which alone would have damned
the Duke of V'ork. At the same time, however,
tn it the messengers seised the papers in question
at Sandon's lodging, they brought a parcel of let
ters from Mrs. Clarke to Sandon, which were snb
mitted tor inspectiou to a select committed. The
report is not >et made, but Leach, the oasjesaaa,
has told me that the scene of infamy they open ii
dreadful, and that all that his pasaed is a trifle
when compared with them. A complete tystem of
traffic for votes in the House upon particular ques
tions, Pitt's Defence Bill, Ac, for every sort of
military appointment, is laid open ; a statement, of
particular facts which could only have come to her
knowledge from the Duke of York: repeated di
rections to Sandon to call at the office, where lis
will find such and such official letters for him ; a
complaint ou the part of the Duke that she has not
been fairly dealt by. in consequence of a person
for whom she had interested herself having made
interest else where; all this and much more is ex
posed in these ourssd papers. In ehort. Leach,
who is a cool headed and well-judging man, aays
alt is over, and though I*fore he did not think cor
ruptien was made out, he cannot aay so now."
Leach was tbe man who afterwards prose
cuted Queen Caroline. Can universal suf

Tke suspected suicide of Mr. Fowtktt, tke
enterprising public officer la New York, who
baa lately made free with tke public money, is
supposed to bare been caused by the operations j
of Remorse upon his refined and sensitive
nature. Remorse is believed to be a very no
table cause of suicide. The mclus operandi,
however, by which it brings about that result
is not easily understood. It is a curious fact
that the pain of guilt does not often become
overwhelming till it is fonnd out. Tbe in
flammation of the soul which is caused by
this reproach of conscience becomes intolera
ble when tbe sunlight of exposure is let in
upon it. In certain classes of crime, remorse
for discovered guilt may lead to suicide; but
In matters of a pecuniary character, in defal
cations like those of tbe late Postmaster of
New York, the subject at least admits of dis
cussion.
We beg to inquire, did ever any one hear of
remorse for embezzling money leading to the
commission of suicide, so long as the embez
zler had the money I Did the coroner ever
find ary red in the pockets of tbe/efo de *« .'—
Had he notcnt his jugular financially, before
he did it physically .' Does a defaulter assault
and slay himself for having or for not hav
ing money—because he stole the cash or be
cause he lost [it—when it is in his pocket or
when it has gone? These are the questions
which we respectfully propound to metaphy
sical debating societies.
Did ever any one hear of a man committing
suicide after tfmbezzling money as long as the
money held out I We do not believe it, and
for this reason: If remorse overtakes him,
and he has not parted with his ill-gotten gain,
he cau easily square accounts with his con
science and bis victim by refunding the spoil.
It he has the money, and is about to be ex
posed, he will restore it to its rightful owner,
rather than risk tbe fearful leap into eternity.
He would not travel in the other country,
while he had the means of traveling in this.
We, therefore, conclude that if Mr Fowler
has laid violent hands upon himself, it is not
because he took the public money. This im
portant point being settled, the next question
is, if he has committed suicide, what has he
done with his body I His friendsstoutly main
tain that he has laid violent hands upon him
self, as he did upon the public property; but,
if so, let them produce the body. We rather
incline to the opinion that 3lr. Fowler has
not committed suicideat all ; but has simply
taken himself off beyond the seas, where he
will be secure from the visitations of Re
morse in the awful shape of 3lsrshal Rvn
r>Eus or a New York policeman.
Delegate* from Slave States in the Chicago
Convention.
The sombre complexion of this Black
Republican assemblage is in some degree re
lieved by tbe exquisite farce of a delegation
from the slave States of Virginia, Kentucky,
&c. One of the newspaper correspondents
gravely informs the world, "it is not known
how Virginia will cast her vote,'' " Kentucky
is expected to support Lincoln," and so on.
If anybody in the Northern section is stupid
enough to be delude! by this transparent
humbug, the cause of popular education needs
attending to. The Southern States are just
about as likely to be represented in an anti-
Southern Convention as the Northern States
would be in an antl-Northeru Convention.

Circuit Court — Military — Fruit — Acridtnl* — Fire.
Harrisonburo, Va., May 17, ISIM.
Up to the present time the Circuit Court
has been engaged iv trying the "Bell Ringers,"
who were engaged in the "belling" party,when
Jas. H. Devier was killed. The jury in the
case of Cook, rendered their verdict to-day;
finding him guilty, and filling him $<!>, and a
term of imprisonment in the county jail, to be
fixed by the Judge. The prisoner was defend
ed by John B. Baldwin and J. C. Woodson,
T. L.Yancey and K. J. Doyle for the Common
wealth. The case was ably conducted. The
case of Tomay will come on next.
The military spirit seems to prevail to a
considerable extent, not only in this county,
but through the Valley generally. 1 have to
record the formation of another company of
infautry at Courad's Store, in this county.—
They call themselves the " Elk River Greys."
Also, a new company at Edinburg, Shenan
doah county, called the Southern Greys.
Both companies have adopted the grey uni
form. Maj. J. H. Conrad, of Conrad's Store,
has also organized a company of "boy" sol
diers, from 13 to IT years of age, under the
name of the "Rockingham Young Guards."
They number about fitly, aud will no doubt
make good soldiers, if properly trained. They
have a flag, drum aud fife, &c—regular mili
tary appurtenances. Go it, "Young Virgi
nia"/' Should the John Brown fanatics desire
to enter our Stale again, and especially the
Valley, they would be likely to meet with a
warm" reception.
Ewing, the man who escaped from the jail
of Augusta county a short time since, charged
with counterfeiting, was caught in Pendleton
county, a few days ago, by Mr. 31cClure, of
Franklin.
On Saturday last, Emanuel Roodcap, of
Brock's Gap, in this county, was found dead,
supposed to have been killed by a kick from a
young horse. The horse had lallen in such a
manner that it was necesbary that he should
be helped up. 3lr. R. was doubtless engaged
in extricating tbe horse when be received the
injuries which caused his death. He was iv,
the 73d year of his age. The horse aud man
were both fonud dead together.
A lew days since, during a thunder storm,
the house of 31r. Henry Kelly, of this place,
was said to be fired. It seems the lightning
struck a stove-pipe running through the roof.
The lightning descended the pipe to the stove
'in the 1 room below, tearing up the floors and
singing the carpet, but doing no other injury,
as there was no person in the room at the
time.

Criminal Trials in North Carolina.
Lkaksville, N. C, 31ay IS.
I was at Rockingham Superior Court a few
days back, and 1 desire to give an account of a
trial or so for murder, especially for the bene-
Ut of those Northerners who believe that., the
negro has no rights aud cannot receive justice
in a Southern court of justice. A wealthy
slaveholder in this county, quite a prominent
citizen, though not noted for morality or so
briety, was murdered by a female slave belong
ing to himself, about 15 years old. He met ber
some distance from the dwelling in a retired
portion of the woods, aud ottering violence to
her person, received two or three severe licks
upon tbe head with a large gum stick, and
with difficulty walked heme, where he died
the next day. The counsel for the prisoner
acknowledged tbe truth of the charges, and
based their argument upon the ground of self
defence. If the jury bad returned a verdict of
guilty, they would hardly have been permitted
to remain in the county, so universal was the
sympathy in favor of the negro. But a short
time elapsed after the jury went out before
they came back with the verdict of "not
guilty." Ourcountymen are not by any means
averse to hanging; for the very next case that
came up for trial was also a murder case; the
alleged murderer also a man of substance.and
formerly, if not at tbe time of the commit
ting of the murder, a member of tbe Select
Court. The person alleged to have been mur
dered, a woman of notoriously bad character.
It was altogether a case of circumstantial evi
dence, and if there had been a penitentiary in
the State, the man, in all probability, would
not have been condemned to suffer death; but
our Southern people love justice, aad death
was the verdict of the jury.
These were the two cases: A white man,
slaveholder, hung upon purely circumstan
tial evidence, for killing |a woman of despe
rate character. A negro, acquitted, (alter ac
knowledging ber guilt,) of the murder of her
master, a large slaveholder. And all this done
In one of tke wealthiest counties in the State,
where tbe great burthen of tbe labor is done

versing yesterday, said that if these facta

TRsUTUB-R«N(/ft «/ Mr*, h B. Phillips—
The benefit, tke last tkis season, of Mrs. I. 0.
pßii.ure, tmkes place at the Theatre to-night.
It would be useless bespeak of tbe talents of
a beneficiary, who has been, at the cad of each
season she stays, a greater favorite than even
the season before, and whose hold on the hearts
of our theatre goers seems to become firmer
with time. The greater portion of this sac
cess on the part of this artist is due to her ex
cellent acting and ber always acceptable ren
dering of the characters allotted to her, but
much of it, Phe may flatter herself, is due to
a sincere esteem on the part of a public which,
however capricious to others, has never failed
to testify to her Iv approval of one who fur
nishes an example which those who wish to
elevate their profession should seek to emu late.
The play to-night is a comedy from the
French, entitled "A Romance of a Poor Young
Man." It is a remarkable production, if we
may believe the critics, and if we may infer
anything from the fact that it was played at
one theatre in New York every nigh: for three
months. The comedietta, "The CI ueen's Own,"
will be also played. The bill is an exceedingly
attractive one, and independent of the claims
of the beneficiary, would fill the bouse.
DEATn.—Clen. Alexander L.. Bolts, of New
York, brother of the Hon. John Minor Botts,
of this city, died Tuesday evening at Washing
ton, D. C. He was in the sixty-second year of ;
his age.
Hail Stoum.—A violent hail storm passed
over a portion of Isle of Wight county, Sun
day afternoon, doing immense damage to the
growing crops, fruit trees, Ac. It swept over
a tract of abont four miles in length, embra
cing the farms of Capt. Crocker, W. 11. Day
and Arch'd Atkinson, Es<is., and several
others, but fortunately in a direction two or
three miles from the town of Smithfield.—
Some of the farmers who have suffered by
the storm, report the damage as very severe—
at least oue-half the wheat completely de
stroyed; corn that was nearly hand high, beat
down so that it would be impossible to tell
that any had ever beeu planted; and the fruit
trees, peaches especially, stripped nearly bare.
Thehail.it is said, lay on the ground, after
the storm, to the depth of several inches.
At Pdr. Yancey's speech in Montgomery,
Ala., the other night, the audience gave three
cheers for Fisher of Virginia, aud Bayard of
Delaware, seceders from tlio*e States.

In Manchester, en Moudnv last, altar a brief

Ahner and Minerva Marks.
He was a l>oy or sweet sad amiable disposition,
and he possessed ss extraordinary mind for one so
voeng. Such was the advancement that be was
making at hie school, that his teacher frequently
remarked "that little Marks was decidedly the mint
intelbsent childiof his age.) he bad ever known."
But he is now dead. God has called him from earth.
His musical voioe. so familiar to us, is now hushed
in death. His soul has doubtless, ere this, winged
its way to heaven, and he is now a member of that
angelic ohoir ever engaged in singing praises to
our God and Creator.
Parents and relatives of little John, do not
grieve, but endeavor to meet him in the golden

Afr. IV". /.. Kor& —Dear Sir •' I have been using
your Liniment, called the GOOD SAMARITAN,
on a servant of none, who "was afflicted very se
verely with rheumatism. He waa taken down in
February last, and was very ill, a great many per
sons pronouncing it. as severe a case as they had
ever seen or heard of. Every joint in his hotly, at
times, was under such agony as almost to cause
death. I immediately placed hi in under medical
tic anient, but with no appearance of relief; in de
spair. I almost gave up hope. At tins time 1 com
rueiiced to use your Liniment, and the bey, coin
menced improving, i continued, and, after using
three bottles, rubbing turn cell on the different
parts of the body, he was entirely cur,-,1. and what
is more surprising, and is »n incontestible proof
of itnserotmseal effects, the boy has been cutting
wood, ploughing, and doing all kinds of out door
work, and exposed to all kinds of weather, often
with not a dry thread upon him, without the least
appearance of a return of the disease. He is now
an -ictive as he ever was.
TO I'H X PUBLIC- Havre given Mr ROCK the
above certificate under the impulse of simple jus
