Mr. E. Ls:emu:at: CHART.TON . S capture by the Lord Chancellor's Tipstaff,

on Friday night, has put a new fie e on his contempt of the Great Seal. The Tories, who now-a-days will help any one out of a mess, were raising a distinction between the privilege case of Mr. CHARLTON and that of Mr. LONG WELLESLEY', on the ground that the former was not in custody. But now the Honourable Member is in the Fleet, and the Lord Chancellor in power. We understand that the Honourable Member's solicitor led to his apprehension. After the solicitor's attendance at the Master's Office on Friday noon, on the Ludlow case, he was watched over Westminster Bridge by the Tip- staff,—the attorney being known to be in communication with Mr. CHARLTON. The attorney went into a small house, No. 12, York Road, where two females .reside,—Mrs. Peassow end her daughter, E1.marE'.'rT[ Pc nst.ow. This house bad been watched for some weeks, as a known resort of the Honourible _Member; but entrance could not be obtained. The attorney, eller staving some time, was seen by the officers to depart, and the door closed. _about five o'clock, old Mrs. Pt:lissom- came out ; and in half-an-hour the old lady return- ing home, the officers, immediately behind her. as she unlocked the stieet-door, entered with her, and secured the Honourable Member. This is the forcible but legal entry, complahied of by the Honourable Member in his letter to the SPEAKER, in the huuse where Mr. CHARL- TON was "staying." We understand that, on the presentation of the Report of the Com- mittee of Privilege, some curious particulars will be communicated to the House of Commons, of the transactions between Mr. CitAut.raN and the late Corporation of Ludlow ; also,Aets tvhich will curiously show the relation of the Cues: family to the seine Municipal :•-elf-elect body, and some singular illustrations of tie old Borough system.
