Sr. Papzasivaoie, Fes. 14.—The following trait gives a striking proof of the presence of mind with which the Emperor Nicholas is endowed : " In the fatal day of the 26th December, a body of rebel soldiers of the regiment of Grenadiers of the Guard, was marching towards the Winter Palace, the residence of the Imperial Family, doubtless with the intention of executing the wicked designs formed by the conspirators. On a sudden, the Emperor, accompanied by a few attendants, met them, and wished them a good day. The mutineers, after a moment's hesitation, re turned his salutation, and cried, The Emperor Con stantine for ever!'—' You are, doubtless, rebels, also,' replied the Emperor, with rare sang froid—' but you have misted' your way—the rebels are assembling in Isalc's-square—direct your steps that way.—March I" These words, spoken with the dignity which charac terizes our young Monarch, made such an impression on these rebels, that merely obeying his orders, they turned back, and proceeded to Isaac's-square; where, a few hours afterwards, they shared the well-merited fate of the other rebels. . " How many similar scenes, which are not generally known, may have occurred on that eventful day ? But if the calmness and. resolution of the Emperor have been the object of general admiration, the tranquillity and pious resignation of the Empress Alexandrine, equally charmed all those who were about her on the 26th December, when the most distinguished ladies of city were assembled in her apartments. An affecting circumstance deserves to be particularly mentioned. " At the moment when her Majesty received from her august Consort the melancholy message that it was necessary to fire the cannon against the rebels, the Princest melting into tears, fell on her knees, and con tinued in prayer till she was informed that the revolt aas happily superessed. .- "Tbus this criminal insurrection of 26. h December, instea;d IA attaining its object,;produced 'a directly con trary drat, by giving a new impulse to the sentiments of_ love and atta s totelt which the people ante. Lain for I*i* . pedal te' ties." i 4 14; *e! z,_Z'A c.:.~. SWEDEN. - .' Tfig PILOTS OP SUNDAY. "HABIBURGH, Fss. 25. (rtirt*Tz LIMY/4 "Sweden, which hardly more than a century ago acted the first part in the general p'llicy of Europe, had for some time almost wholly escaped the public atten tion: the catastrophe of ,Russia has just recalled it to it. It will be recollected, that since the time when that monarchy 'declined from the summit of its great ness, two parties.have existeJ in it. One, called that of the Hats, was supposed to be in the French interest; while the other, called that of the Caps, was supposed to be devoted to Russia. " Since the general f.eace, France seems to have ezer cised no influence over the affairs of Sweden; but it has been succeeded by England, which now rivals the for. midable neighbour of theScandinavean kingdom. During the life of Alexander, indeed, the Russian party, though little inclined in favour of the dynasty of Bernadotte, and though the house of Gottorp had still numerous parti sans, was reduced to perfect. inactivity by the personal friendship of the twos S >vereigns. Bet since the death of this powerful protector, a change seems to have taken pl,:ce with respect to Sweden, of which some alarming symptoms have been ob•erved, Loth in the foreign rela tions and in the spirit of ,the people, which has been manifesred on several occasions. It is therefore not surprising that King Charles John seeks to approximate more closely to Eirgiand, and two cabinet messengers from Stockholm to London have passed through this city within a few days, whn seem, by the haste they made, to be the bearers of very important dispatches.-- , There are various reports, but all persons who have means of being informed, give us to understand that Charles John is at present in an embarrassing situation. "It is affirmed that Prince Gustavus is at Peters burgh, brit that he observes the strictest incognito, because the Emperor Nicholas wishes at first to avoid any ostensible measure which might give umbrage to the Swedish Monarch, with whom it is at present his intes•st to be on good terms." The Gazette of last night presents a comparatively pleasing complexion. It contains twenty-five Bankrapts. A Meeting of the llreeholders of the county of Surrey was held at the Spread Eagle, Epsom, on Monday, to petition Parliament for the abolition of Slavei y in the British Colonies. The High Sheriff, Mr. H. Drum mond, was in the Chair. The Petition was moved by Mr.C. B .rclay, and ieconded by Mr. Sperling. The other speakers were, Mr. H. Sumner, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Pow. nail, Mr. Denison, and Mr. Hunt. The Petition wai carried unanimously.

The duty was called the ladle, being a ladleful out of every_sack or boll of meal or grain brought into the Borwugli.— The date of the grant of the cu torn Could not be ascer tained, because Glasgow being an Archbishop's burgh, its ancient charters and records were either destroyed Or carried beyond sea during the Reformation, but this was not so material in the question, as during the last three centuries the right had been recognised by various Charters and Acts of Parliament. The respondents Occupied a distillery and,mills on a part of the Wester Common, near Glasgow, where they imported a large "siisantity of grain, and upon the rtligistrates claiming e usual custom, the respondents resisted it, on the ground that the- lands they occupied were wit within the liberties of Glasgow. This was the quortion at issue. The Courts below decided for the respondents, and against ibis decision the present appeal was brought. Judgment postponed. LAW REPORT. COURT OF OF CHANC.ERI4 31.4achi 7. IN THE MATTER OF SMITH, A LUNATIC. In this case a petition had been presented by the Rev. Henry Delves Broughton, of Broughton Hall, in the county of Stafford, praying that a commission de luna tics inquirende might issue. This case has excited a very extraordinary sensation, the particulars of which have beefi laid before the public, but in a very exaggerated form.' The father of the lunatic in this matter was Isaac Smith, a farmer, who lived at a place called Muckleston Wood, near the town cif Muckleston, in the county of Staff )rd. This Gentleman died in the year 1812, kav ing several sons and daughters; among others, the un fort ueate lunatic in this case, named George Smith, who during the lifetime of his father was afflicted with one or two paralytic strokes, which, in a great measure, de prived him of the use of bath his body and mind. On the death of his father, this unfortunate individual was consigned to the care of his brothers and sisters, but more particularly to the care of his brothers William and Thomas, and his sister Sarah Smith. Dining the lifetime of the father it was customary to have a room set apart for the sole accommodation of the lunatic during the continuance of any violent fit, for he was subject to epilepsy. After the father's death, it appeared from affidavits, that this unfortunate person was kept completely shut up in that room, without ever being permitted to leave it for a moment. In this state he continued from the year 1812 till tile 25,h of January, 1826, a period of fourteen years. -It was indeed, sup posed in the county that the poor idiot was dead. Some time previous to the 25th of January it came to the knowledge of Thomas Elves, Esq.t et the above county, that this unfortunate person was co'hfined in a dark room, at his brother'i, and ficklikl a:seine through an aperture in the wed]. Oa receiving this information, he communicated the intelliginee to, the Rev. Gentle man abbe named, tvhsi is a: Magistrate of the county. On the 25th Jan.uary tOth theie Gentlemen, having previously ordered the (instable,. Jonathan Coulson, of the town of Muckleston to attend on the same day at the blase of the parties al Muckleston Wood, proceeded to the house, and entered the kitchen by the back door. On entering the house they - were met by r. Smith. They then proceeded to inquire of the number of his brothers and sisters. Ile told - the names of all, except that of the lunatic. 'Oa being iiirckloned tespecting him, he seemed agitated, and irriaheef to conceal the fact • of such a person being in the house. An altercation ;hen ensued between Mr. Broughton and Smith, in which Mr. Broughton insisted ort entering the room where the lunatic was confined. This at first was re fused, but on Mr. B. telling him that he was a Nlagis. trate, and had a constable with him,' it was conceded. During the altercation the sister Sarah joined the parties in the kitchen. When it was undergo-id that Mr. 111. was. determined to see the lunatic, several excuses were made relative to the key, which was said not to be in the house. In the meantime Mr. Elves and the con stable went up a backstairs and searched the attics. On coming down they met Mr. B. in company with Sarah and Thomas' Smith, on the landing-place. One of the Smiths had at this time agreed to show the way to the room where the lunatic WAS confined. While the per son was proceeding before the party to point out the way, Mr. B. perceived a door with a large hasp and staple, but unlocked. He opened the door, and was immediately assailed by a dreadful stench. The room was comple ely dark at the time, the window having been stopped up by loose bricks. The constable pro: ceeded to take away some of the bricks, and when light was let in, the room presented a most appalling ap pearance—a filthy old bedstead appeared in one corner covered with chaff, and two or three old sacks. The floor of the room was so covered with filth that it was almost impossible to walk through without treading on it. Mr. B. inquired where the lunatic was, and Sarah Smith then took up the corner of one of the sacks, and said, di Gentlemen here he is." The poor creature was 'then uncovered, when a dreadful spectacle presented itself. lie was horribly contracted in his limbs ; his heels turned backward ; his beard was grown four or Eve inches. Mr: \ Broughton . and Mr. Elves then pro ceeded to the Lunatic Asylum - at Stafford, leaving the constable in charge of the room, enjoining him not to permit and thing in it to be altered till they should re. turn in the evening with Garret, the superindant of the Asylum, to remove the poor creature. No objection. WAS made at that time by the Smiths to the intention of removing him to the Asylum. These facti ate stated in the affidavit of the Rev. Mr. Broughton. The affida vit of the constable also corroborates these facts; and further states, that being unable to remain in the room from the disgusting smell—he became sick and went home for about half an hour, a distance of half a mile. On his return he found the room quite altered, and cleansed in a great degree, and the lunatic placed on a feather bed. In the evening the Gentlemen returned with the Superintendent, and removed the lunatic to the Asylum at Stafford. Several affidavits were put in by the Smiths and others, contradicting the above facts, and stating his dreadful state and appearance was caused by his own violence during the fits; and that it was impos sible to permit a fire in the room lest he should destroy himself. Subsequently to the removal of the lunatic, the Smiths brought their action against Mr. Broughton for trespass, in removing the lunatt‘without an order of the Court of Chancery, and he was returned to the care of his brothers and sisters. Mr. B. then presented this pe ,-..tion to the Mont, that a tomtatsston Might In consequence of this the lunatic was restored to tht 'llisylutn again, but the Smiths put in a caveat again't die petition, not indeed for the purpose of contesting she point of lunacy, but on the ground that they could "'make out, to the satisfaction of the Court, that he was taken as good care of as a person in his situAtion could p-ssibly be. On this ground, however, they failed. Very exaggerated statements of this case appeared to Itartf-3611, in Stafford, and in some of the public prbps.--eamely. that this un fortunate c. , eature was contracted to a yard in height ; that the haii on his body was six inches long, and that he was fed like a swine.' None of these statements were borne awls? the Adavits. The Loua Cisasczta.oa :aid, that as the lunacp of the unfortu ate individual was admitted," and -being nide, the mete of the . Asylum it only remained for hint to fleet& on the question, ef costs for the application for the commission. He could not,•hoWEverixf that time, decide that question. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ... n GUILDHALL. Thomas Brayshaso um.- charged with• conspiring with four otherif warehousemen in the City, to cheat William Booth, a Yorkshire• man, of 1760 yards of woollen cloth, value MIL and for obtaining possession of the same by f 'lse pretences. An indictment imving beon already found against the parties, he was ordered to give 48 hours' notice of bail. BO W-ST REET. A masculine-looking woman applied for the Magistrate's as sistance to release from Willis', madhouse a young man, who was violently in love with her, and had been . eonfined by hi:friends, who were averse' to hii becoming her husband. If be was deranged, it was entirely on her account, and she should no doubt be able to restore him; and she conceived she bad some right to the custody of him, because he had promised her marriage. —Mr. Mum= smiled, and said, a mad husband would be no desirable 1 acquisition, and she had better let him remain at all events he had no authority in tbe case. ➢ut, said the la.ty, upon a note from you, I I dare say the Doctor will let him out, and if you make any chirge fur your trouble, 1 havens objection to satisfy ytot—s(A bud laugh.) Mr. MINSHULL again said he had no authority, and the applicant retired.---The applicant afterwatds presented herself bef re the Magistrates at Mary• la-BonneOffice, and met with similar reception. A lunatic then presented himself to claim protection from a gang, who had defrauded him of a tenth of a certain property, and who haunted him constantly, sometimes half frightening hint to death with noises, and trying to smother him while in bed. Hp was also sent eff with an assurance that the Magistrate had no powers MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday one John Dunn was brought before Mr. CO CANT, charged with having picked the pocket of a Mr. Pickering. • John Dunn is, or was before his present misfortune, a modal appendage , to a travelling exhibition of monstrosities; or, as be. himself described himself, " a chap what plays the pandean pipe to the black giant, the seven legg'd rant from All jeers, and other vunderful vurks of nature." Into this display of vunderful vurks popp'd Mr. Pickering, as it was exhibiting in a feur.whetled caravan in Oxford-street, on Monday night ; and he had scarcely opened his eyes to see what was to be seen, When he "felt his pocket feel empty by the loss of his handkerchief—a spick-and-span bright yellow Spital-fields Bandana."—" Hallo !" cried Mr. Picker in., " who's got my ankicher f" and, turning himself sharply round • aba.d, he aaw it in the hand of the pandean piper, Mr. Dunn, who was forthwith given in charge to a constable. Mr. Dunn, when asked by the Magistrate what he had to say in his defence, gave a very melancholy twist to his visage, and de clared that he was wrongfully accimed.—" How could I possibly pick the getleman's pocket," said he, 4 ' Mbetl I had the double drone against my belly, a drum-stick in each hand, and the pandean piper. under my chin?" Mr. Pickering, in reply, would not presume to point out the. possibility, he only knew the fact, and as he persisted in-this state' ment, the poor pa'ndean.piper was packed off to pgion. • Nicholas Thompson, a tall sturdy subject, M a well-made, but much torn and very muslily suit of black, and without either sitars or stockings, was charged with having been " mad irunk" in Pic cadilly, on Monday fight. The constable !mend him haranguing a crowd of coachmen and others on political economy, and illut stating his arguments by pulling off his shoes and stockings, and throwing them away." 4 (' What are you, Sir?" said the Magistrate—for Mr. Thempecin really appeared to be a man of Some miss; - land however bial• hie dress might be, his address was good. " Why, Sir," replied Mr. Thompson, " I am a ntanufSeturer.... an operative calico-printer from Manchester, In the CeinierVa-. !otiose of Lancaster, and I am just retuned from an opera;ive.me culation in that line, at Douay, in Prance." " Judgin 4 from your present appearance," said the Magistrate. " you had better have remained at home ; your speculation seems to have been a very unfortunate one." " Indeed it has. rejoined the bare-footed political economist; " but, however, I arrived in this country a day or two ago, and yesterday I met with some soldiers, with whom I hadisecome ac quainted at when the Army of Occupation was on .the Continent, at which time I - was a suttler in the army.
