The powers vested in the Magistracy by the New. Va grant Act; and the shameful use which has been m:411. by some petty despots, of their little brief authority, should call for ionic strong expression of the public opinion previous to the next meeting of Parliament; that this new species of torture to the feelings, outrage to the eases, and inconvenience to tLe person, may be abolished. There is one Swabey, in the commission of Magistracy at present; and Ise has already done more mischief to 'individuals than leis services to the public can ever atone for. The race may multiply. " 111 weeds,"—tlie proverb is some, what musty. We may have a Swabey in every Ace. Informers are everywhere abundant; and when it is known that magistrates will believe what they choose to hear, in defiance of all the probabilities of the rase, there will be no want of oaths, to back injustice.— We have given one or two instances of the gross abuse of which the magisterial authority is susceptible, in sueli. cases ; but a more recent one has occurred, as stated on the euthotity of another paper, in whildi Mr. Swabey, when prevented from committing an actor injustice, thought pro per to supply its place by insult, the moat unwarrantable that we have ever heard of. A respectable young man was parting with a young female to whom lie was paying his addresses ; when one of Mr. Swabev's men, thinking they had no right to shake hands in the public street, thought proper to interfere in an insolent manner. On his insolence being retorted, he accused them of an act of indecency, and took them both to the watch house. The arrest took place within sight of . time house of the parents of the female ; and a bribe of a: shilling was the means of procuring their attendance, sad • .;" her release on giving bail to appear at the face the neut -, morning. She was therefore only imprisoned an hour, sod locked up with some prostitutes, who were also in custody. The young man did nut chose to trouble his friends, and ' he remained in the watch-house all night. On an investigation, the circumstances against the proba• bitity of the charge were so shrine, that even Swabey was afraid to commit :-- but with a sort of feeling that we have never observed in any other magistrate. When he discharged the accused persons, he said that he believed Me story against them! This is monstrous! If lie did believe the charge. it was ~ his duty to eosioiet, and not to liberate them. It isitd.ehe - look of a bitter hostility, arising out of the check to his career;—and seemed intended to render those mentally tniserable, whom he could not torment is a bodily way. There is one singularity attending these prosectitious for indeceet exposure, that Ole accusations, instead of lighting upon those who are publicly known to be is the net of mg sash offence, are say made agtioskioie ntreapeetability ; 'and this sway tend *bet of theiceusers; wlsich.• •probsbly more to extort moles. . than from any regagd either to law or morality. The • conduct of such inagfilkiat i es au Mr. Stitbey has a dfitat We tendency to encouraii growth of there outages ;seek. • the Vagrant Act, ass it npw elands, is an admirrattlextea?:' of facilitating them. Qatip is nstineans ofoettopit the fangs of an informer, whil‘nfray want five shillfati e llt • has only to swear, and S;abey Will believe /dm, no tifitter how absolute the probability may be the other way. In this state of things, it is absolutily dangerous to more out of one's own !unfits, after- the watch and patrol are set. ; The press may do,something towards the correction of this -1141• by exposing it ; but untesa the public take some MOM siecide4 . measure in its own defence, the evil will become too deeply rooted to be easily eradicated ; and our police will become as intolerably despotic, as the police of the Continent. The progress of Ferdinand in " trangailliziug Spain." proceeds but slowly. There is no doubt bat that hie mandates for the submission of all the fortresses were issued as early as be had the power to do so :—but it. appears that.in one iustance only has he been soccessful, Voided Rodrigo has capitulated conditionally, and agered to abide by his orders, %rhea they arrive. Bat in Catalonia they have not yet recognized the despot, awl in other parts of Spain, not hitherto conspicuous for any dettion in favour of the Uottstitati.m, the Royal Anthonyi is treated with the greatest in , lifferruce. In GO MA, too, Morillo, fearful of bring male a sacrifice, stands upon the defensive; and though nothing but self interest could be directed to induce him to act an honest part, his,listerost and hi, duty to the cause which he bat hitherto betrayed, may become convertible t'rnu. Not having done all that Ferdinand wished, i.e has gsisesi Grope in his eyes:—the Regency, which he refused to acknowledgr, detects hint ; and being confirmed in than authority, and having all their decrees sanctioned by the King, Murillo may well fear their enmity, sod think it the wiser plan to hold it at hay. We coaltl - mever esteem him as a man, for ids pa , ' hot he may be pardoned his offences when went for them. Ferdinantl's lihgeali,), has nothing for the royalist faction. Olt the given birth to new dissentious, and Ferdinand to allay them by any wisdom of contiuet. unfitted for the age in which he lives.
