of whom he is the unconscious dupe. Mr. Verner, of Church-hill, in the county of Armagh, is in private life a respectable Country Gentleman, who having unsuccessfully stood for his native county on the Ultra-Ascendancy interest, thinks an occasional display of una b a t e d Orangeism wholesome exhibition for a candidate in abey ance. In point of intellect, he may honestly take his place in the same class with the Noble Deputy Grand Master of Ireland. Mr. R. Hedges is a country 'squire, rather remarkable in his own distriet r :or - having long kept a crack r —of fox hounds—of his political talents or intellectual acquirements the less that is said the better. Of Mr. Nathaniel Sneye, ex-representa tive of the county of Cavan, and formerly an ex tensive dealer in Yin de Bordeaux— it is only necessary to say, that his constituents got tired of him, and that the mode he has adopted of attracting notoriety is not likely to restore him to their good graces. Sir Henry Brooke, Bart. known as the frequent disturber of" the harmony of the county in which he lives, by provoking contested elections on an interest which any ra tional man must at once perceive to be utterly inadequate. The Rev. Charles Boyton, Fellow of Trinity College, and (prohpudor !) Deputy Grand Chaplain to the Orangemen of Ireland— tantone anzinis celestibus bye? It is unne cessary to analyse the catalogue more minutely ; we have (abut invidia !) honestly exhibited the qualifications of the more prominent signatures. In compassion to the sine Nomine Turba which accompanies them, we shall, for the present, extend the charitable mantle of oblivion, Morning Chronicle. According to the Rev. Edward Irving we arc now Close upon the grand Millenium ; and Messrs. Cobbett and Hunt have put forth a de claration announcing an approaching struggle between the Land and the Funds, which must end either in the total ruin of the Land-owners or in Parliamentary Reform. With respect to the religious Millenium we pretend to no skill in interpreting prophecy, and therefore we shall not attempt to gainsay the Reverend Commen tator. But with respect to the political Mille nium we are not so diffident. We will frankly own that we do not believe that the struggle in question is fast approaching, and we will also own that we are not anxious that Parliamentary Reform should he too much accelerated. We mean, by Parliamentary Reform, not a mere trans ference of the franchise from one or two corrupt Boroughs to Birmingham, Manchester, and a few more large towns, but such a Reform as would afford protection to the people. The people of England have of late years made con siderable advances in improvement ; and we do not doubt that the progress in improvement will hereafter be greatly accelerated. The hope of England is the number of towns, which facilitate the circulation of knowledge among the people. Each town is a centre from which the rays of knowledge spread in all directions. If the people of England are yet too generally ill-edu cated and grossly ignorant and prejudiced, it is to be recollected that our civilization is recent, that our towns are of yesterday's date, and that the character of a people can only be changed with time. Allowing, therefore, with the able author of the article on the Causes of the popu lation, in the last number of the Edinburgh Re view, that, " what with nonsense verses at school, " and novel readers, Apocrypha co n t r o ve r sies, and other misapplications of time, " notwith standing all that is said about the march of in tellect, and the efforts to multiply shipenny sys tems," we are still greatly deficient as A people in knowledge; we contend that the desire of knowledge, especially among the young, is de cidedly on the increase, and that there is no cause to despair of the future. If a Parliamen tary Reform of a searching kind could be effected without violence, the ignorance of a very great proportion of the people (and after the late beastly exhibitions, no man would think of ques tioning it) might be productive of little injury ; because, though a man may himself be unable to arrive at correct conclusions with respect to political questions, he may err less as to the men deserving of confidence. But a Parliamentary Re form in this country (superseding as it would, to a certainty, the House of Lords, or reducing it to an echo of the Democratic House ; whereas the Democratic House is at present the creature of the Aristocratic), will never be effected without commotion ; and we should exceedingly dread the letting loose the population of England, in their present state of ignorance. It would be easy to deal with questions of organical Reform, if men were, in any given country, what we wish them to be. But we must always bear in mind, that men are the creatures of the circumstances by which they have been surrounded. In Eng, land, the High Church men, till lately, stre nuously opposed all attempts to instruct the people, and they have been reared in ignorance, and inoculated with all manner of prejudices. — As if ignorance was not enough, pains have been taken to demoralize them. They have been literally driven by Government into the public-house. The hours that are not spent in hard toil, are spent, in too many cases, in gross sensuality. Though we should he sorry to subscribe to any system of Government which places any portion of the people at the mercy of others, we should at the same time be sorry, in the present state of the English population, to be ourselves at the mercy of no °Small portion of that population. We subscribe to Ow doctrine, that the object to be kept in view is the adrni:J sion of all to the privilege which is now possessed by s few ; and also that there can be no adequate security for good Government, so long as the property of all is at the disposal of a few. But if a man have been long in darkness he cannot see when he is suddenly brought to the light, If a man have been degraded into a beast of burden, and (like no small put of the labouring population) rendered worse by ;the little lie has been taught than if his mind were s tabulq Tara, the safety of others may dictate to them the wish, that the capacity to use his power wisely may precede his obtaining power. We confess, there fore, that our fear is, lest circumstances should put the people of England too soon in the possession of their franchise. We are aware that wher4he cir cumstances which produce revolutions are in existence, wishes, either one way or the other, will be inoperative. Whether the people are wise or prejudiced, well or ill-informed, they will be appealed to whenever the wheels of Go vernnzent are clogged. This ought to be a mo tive with all who have influence of disseminating knowledge as much as possible, that if a change take place it may be productive of as little as injury as possible. The difference between Mr. Bentham and ourselves la, that his man is a rea soning animali 'whereas an ii;nglishman hardly deserves that character. The " a4eyript of the writer in the Edinburgh . ReVietv to turp into ridicule what Mr. Mill has written on Governs mint is hardly f worthy o serious consideration. It is throughout a play on words, and the trickery consists in the giving a meaning to Mr. Mill which he had not, and combating wind-mills of his own setting up. The following passage is intended to be a reductio ad absurdum of Mr. Mill's Theory : " PROPOSITION 1.-THEOREM. " No rulers will do any thing which may hurt the people. " This is the thesis to be maintained; and the following, we humbly offer to Mr. Mill, as its syllo gistic demonstrati on : "No rulers will do that which produces pain to themselves. " But the unfavourable sentiments of the people will give pain to them. " Therefore no rulers will do any thing which may excite the unfavourable sentiments of the people. " But the unfavourable sentiments of the people are excited by every thing which hurts them. " Therefore no rulers will do anything which may hurt the people, which was the thing to be proved." The trickery consists in substituting people for that portion of the people by which the ruler is enabled to rule. Every Orange Leader wishes to stand well with the body of Orangemen. Every Catholic Leader wished to stand well with the body of the Catholics. But an Orangeman did not wish to stand well with a Catholic, nor a Catholic with an Orangeman. Wherever there are casts or factions, the love of approbation is confined to the cast or faction. In this way the apparent cleverness of the Reviewer is merely the absence of all power to analyse,—/bid. Among the curious instances of the " patriotism of pounds, shillings, and pence," which have come to light in the course of the angry dis cussions upon the pecuniary claims of Mr. Eneas Macdonnell in the Finance Committee of the Roman Catholic Association, is the circum stance of 2,000 guineas having been given to the son of the orator Burke to conciliate the interest of his father with the Ministry of that day. Now, the opinions of Edmund Burke in favour of " Catholic Emancipation," have often been quoted by the modern advocates of that measure with an air of triumphant authority—repeatedly have we seen in newspapers and pamphlets his florid declamation on this subject appealed to as an emanation of such genius and virtue as it would be a sort of profaneness to resist. Alas ! the more we discover of the secret springs of public action the less are we inclined to put any faith in those arguments founded on the autho rity of celebrated names ! Who could have ima gined that when the Roman Catholics and their advocates were referring to the name of Burke as an oracular authority, the sentiments which were held forth to admiration, as resulting from the purest conviction o f a great and upright mind, should ever be imputed by the same party to the influence of a paltry bribe of 2,000 guineas, paid to the son to enlist the services of the father in the cause of " civil and religious freedom," We know nothing of this circum stance but upon Roman Catholic evidence,-,, Hear what Mr. Finn, the brother-in-law of Mr. O'Connell, said on this subject in the debating room of the " Agitators' the other day : " There was one of those persons included as having received remuneration. It was a sop of the celebrated Burke. He got 2,000 guineas from the Catholic body—not because he deserved it, l.hit that his father was the celebrated Edmund Burke, who was known to possess powerful in fluence in the Cabinet. It was a bribe to the son to obtain the powerful influence of the father with Pitt and the other Ministers of the day."— Against this amicable demolition of the poli tical purity and disinterested patriotism of Mr. Burke not a voice was raised' among the pro fessed admirers—we might say, the idolators of his memory. Here is a job which forms a cu rious cornMentary on the " art of political per l i - suasion." It deSeryes to be remembered, if it were only to show the value of the groment frcm authority.—Morning Herald. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF THIS EVENING.

OUILDHALL. Joseph Henderson and John Finery?, journeymen butchers, and James Wilson, a servant out of place, were brought before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, for final examination, charged with stealing twenty sheep from a field at Walthamstow, in Essex. At the first examination it appeared that Mr. H. Vigne, a stockbroker, had purchased the sheep about a month ago, and had placed them in the field. He missed them in the morning of the 3d instant, and, communicating the fact to his salesman, Mr. Burrell, it was made known the same day to Mr. Goulden, a butcher, in Aldgate High-street. Air. G. bestir red himself to discover the thieves, and learnt next morning that Flitcroft had hired a cart to carry some sheep from Spitalfields to N e wgate-market, and that he had been observed walking towards the Essex road, with the other prisoners, on the evening of the 2d. By inquiry in Newgate-market, it was ascertained that 13 country-killed sheep had been distributed amongst three respectable salesmen, and Henderson was detected in applying to one of them for the proceeds. The other prisoners were secured the same day. Yesterday Sir P. LAURIE, addressing Flitcroft, said he understood some promise had been held out to him that if he would confess his offence would probably he visited in a different way to the other prisoners; and that he was willing to relate the whole particulars. Flitcroft replied that he was. The Alderman then directed him to come round to the witness-box, and told him to be very careful in speaking nothing but the truth, and divulging all, or he would lose his claim to the fulfilment of the promise. Flitcroft deposed that as he was coming up the Whitechapel-road, on Thursday afternoon (the 2d), the other prisoners met him, and asked if he was I,ylling to earn a pound by assisting in bringing from the country and slaughtering some sheep which Henderson had bought. He agreed, and they started. At a public-house, with a pond and a fountain before it, at Clapton, they stopped and drank two pots of beer, between seven and eight o'clock, and they were walking in the lanes till about twelve, before they reached Mr. Vigne's field. Here Henderson held the gate open while witness and Wilson drove the 20 sheep out. Henderson then went on before, saying he would get a place ready for the sheep, and would meet them at Os borne-street, Whitechapel. Witness and Wilson drove the sheep to town, only stopping once at the Coach and Horses ? globe-bridge, to get a pot of half-and-half. The sheep were taken to Mrs. Evers field's, No. 9, White's-row, Spitalfields, between two and three in the morning, and were all shlugh tered and 4rased by ten o'clock. Qne was cut tip and hawked about, which produced witness 249.; and another was sold to Mr. Cross, in Leadenhall, for 255., which witness also got. Five others were sold in Leadenhall, and thirteen in Newgate Mar ket. Witne - s borrowed the cart to convey those to Newgate Market, and Henderson accompanied him. F,ir PETER asked if he did not know from the be ginning that the sheep were stolen. Witness said he did not F.icpect any thing wrong till he found Henderson was detained, on the after noon of the 4th. _ _ V ir PETER inquired what became of the skins. Witness said he took them in a truck to the Borough Market, and they Were sold by com mission, He received Ts. Bd, for them, Two of the skins, which had been recovered from the pits of a fellmonger at Bermondsey, were pro duced, and identified by the skin-d ea l ers as those he had purchased of the witness, and by the Smithfield salesman, as belonging to the sheep he sold to Mr. Vigne. Sir PETER asked the prisoners' solicitor if he would put any questions to Flitcroft. Solicitor—No; I do not believe a word he says. A number of witnesses were examined in corro boration of the approver's testimony. Among them, Samuel Harper, a butcher, in the service of Mr. Boyce, the salesman, in Newgate-market, stated that he received four sheep from the prisoner Henderson, and observed to him that they looked in a muddled state, as if they were stolen. Prisoner answered, " Yes; they were dressed by a countryman, and he got his rump kicked out of the slaughter• house." John Eversfield, a youth (Henderson's cousin), proved that Wilson assisted in driving the sheep into his mother's premises, and in slaughtering them. Sir PETER LAURIE not having authority to de termine that Flitcroft should be admitted as wit ness for the Crown, committed him, as well as the others, for trial at the next Sessions for Middlesex, returning his voluntary depositions upon oath, among the other depositions, fur the use of the Judge. Upon the applications of Mr. Hobler, jun., who conducted the prosecution, the approver was com mitted to the Compter, as his life had been threatened, and would be endangered if he were committed with Wilson and Henderson to Newgate. The boy Eversfield was also committed to the Compter, as having given material and necessary testimony against the three prisoners, and not being able to give sufficient sureties for his appearance to give evi dence at the Sessions. The case seemed to excite a great sensation among the butchers, the Justice-room being literally crammed with them. BO W-STREET. Yesterday Mr. F. Pollock, the barrister, appeared, by his clerk, before Sir R. BIRNIE, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of Hs., being the fare claimed by a hackney-coachman for driving the Learned Gentleman from his house, in Bedford row, to the Temple, and waiting there four hours and upwards. The claim was resisted on the ground that the coachman did not use sufficient means to find out Mr. Pollock's chambers sooner than he did, and in form him that he was waiting for his fare. It seemed that Mr. Pollock left the coach, at the Temple gate, forgetting to discharge it; and that he left the Temple soon after without seeing the coach and went home. It was contended that the coachman waited unnecessarily, for that, on the same principle that he stayed four hours, and claimed for it, lie might have stayed till that day, and have made a demand for the fare for that time. Sir R. BIRNIE said that, as it appeared the coachman might have made inquiry sooner than he had done, he did not deserve to be paid, and he would not allow him the usual allowance for loss of time; but the law entitled him to the fare, and so it would had he remained at the Temple gate all night. He was reminded by this of a case which occurred before him some years ago, when a hack ney-coachman, having been hired by a Member of Parliament to carry him to the House, the Hon. and Worthy Member left the coach without paying his fare, and the coachman remained at the door of the House till the next day, when he sent a flesh pair of horses down to it, and the coach was left there, and the horses changed every day for three weeks; and the coachman was paid the fate to which he was entitled for that time. A remarkably clean, respectable-looking old man, dressed in a broad-brimmed hat, grey frock coat, white waistcoat, drab kerseymere breeches and boots, named John Greenaway, was charged with having attempted to pass a counterfeit crown-piece in an eating•honse in St. Clement's church-yard. The proprietor of the house stated that last summer the prisoner paid him a visit, and succeeded in pass ing upon his waiter a counterfeit half-sovereign. He recollected him the moment he entered the room, and when he offered in payment for what he had had this bad crown piece, he took him into custody. He was searched, and nine shillings and sixpence in good money, and a gilt shilling, were found upon him. The officers stated that the prisoner had been an utterer of base coin, or" smasher," for 15 years, but was so clever in his vocation, that although they had frequently heard of his exploits in that way, and been upon the watch to take him in the fact, they had never succeeded. He formerly kept the Rose and Crown Inn, at Watford, but, being unsuccessful there, he turned horse-dealer, which succeeding no Better, he took to " smashing," and, judging from his appearance, he has made it answer well. 1 he officer said that, if publicity were given to the case, a number of charges would be brought against the prisoner, and in expectation thereof Mr. Min shull remanded him to this day. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) There was recently delivered a Parliamentary do cument, entitled " A Return of the Number of Persons enrolled in the Commission of the Peace in each County in England and Wales," stating the number who have taken out their dedimus, and have duly qualified, and are acting; prepared from Re turns furnished by the several Clerks of the Peace in England and Wales. The following are the re sults of the details respecting each county:— Number of persons enrolled in the Com mission of the Peace in England l7 802 Ditto in Wales 2,130 Total for England and Wales 19,932 Number of those enrolled in the Com mission of the Peace who have taken out their dedimus in England 4,647 Ditto in Wales 666 Total 5,213 Out of that number, however, it is returned that there are 199 who do not act—so that 19,932 are placed on the Commission; 5,213 take out their dedimus, and 5,014 are returned as acting Justices of the Peace in England and Wales. The numbers returned for Huntingdon and Lancaster are mentioned as being "exclusive of Privy Councillors, &c." whose numbers are not stated; and it is added that " in cities and towns, being counties of themselves, the Justices are appointed by Charter, and do not take out a dedimus "—their numbers are not stated. In most counties, respecting which this Return gives the details, the number taking out their de (limits agrees with the number mentioned as acting; but hi some counties there are great disproportions ~-thus in Bucks 140 (out of 363) take out their dedimus, but only 117 act ;—in Gloucester 192 (out of 472) take out their dedimus, while the act ing number is 167 ;—in " parts of Holland," in Lincolnshire, 2,1 (out of 331 1) take out their de dimus, 19 acting;--in Surrey, 247 qualified (out of 515), while 180 act; and in Sussex 129 only qualified out of 457.—Morning Paper.

Though when it was stated some weeks since that this Prince of " Fences" was re• apprehended at Hobart-town, Van Dieman's Land, and was about to be sent for trial to London, the prin cipal scene of his offences, the announcement was received with derision and incredulity, the rumour of his capture by the colonial authorities proves to be true, and his arrival in the river may be daily expected. The following particulars connected with his apprehension have been furnished to us by a person who was an eye-witness of the transac tion, and who has just returned home in the Susan, free trader, from Hobart-town : With the unaccountable escape of Ikey from the officers of Newgate, and his subsequent ex ploits in North America, New York, Buenos Ayres, and the causes of his flight from these places of refuge, the public are already partially acquainted, as well as also with the circumstances which led to the subsequent transportation of his wife to the colony where he was apprehended. A short narrative of his adventures since he fled from England may not be unnecessary, and prove that thieving and crime are a kind of ha bitual propensity that neither climate nor coun try can change. Scarce had he arrived in a land of freedom, and secured an asylum from the pe nalties to which he had been subjected in this country, when the old passion returned, and he resumed his former iniquitous practices. Not content solely with those, he entered on another branch, and committed, in conjunction with two other persons, an extensive forgery on the na tional bank of New York. His companions were secured and punished, but he, with his usual wariness and tact, again escaped the fangs of the law ; and from thence escaped o Buenos Ayres, where his restless disposition did not permit him to remain long in quiet. He here entered into, ostensibly, the jewellery business, and having a gentlemanly address, and the air of' a foreigner, made it the medium of negotiating fraudulent debentures of the local government, and discounting fictitious stock of the English, which was then at a premium. The frauds were at length discovered, and a friendly municipal having given him intimation that something was brewing, he started off for Van Dieman's Land, where he understood that his wife and family were then residing. This hasty, and for him very inconsiderate, step was the most fatal that he could have adopted. After the conviction of Mrs. Solomons, for having a quantity of property in her possession, which was stolen subsequent to the escape of her husband, considerable interest was exerted at the Home-office to permit her children, four in num ber, to accompany her to her place of destination. The Government took the application into con sideration, and after some hesitation allowed her, she paying the expences, to take the two youngest, the one five, and the other two years of age, along with her ; but peremptorily re fused the two elder sons, who were grown-up young men, to participate in the indulgence. they, however, were determined to follow their mother, and embarking in a vessel bound for Sydney, took with them an assortment Qf goods suitable to that market. They immediately got into business, and hired an extensive store as ge neral dealers, and here they remained, carrying on a rather prosperous trade, until the commence• ment of last January, when they suddenly re moved themselves and their stock to Hobart town, where, having taken a spacious shop and concerns in Macquarrie-street, they again re sumed business, and conducted themselves with so much propriety and evident appearance of integrity, that they succeeded in obtaining the liberty . of their mother. She, on her liberation with the two younger children, were living with them, and business was going on successfully and creditably until the middle of February,when Ikey (the father) made 11;s appearance, and took a part in the concern. His motives for going to these colonies, which are under British jurisdic tion, appear extraordinary, if not fatuitous; but in selecting Hobart-town in the place of Syd ney, he says that he did so from the belief that there were fewer, if any, of his old acquaintances at the former than the latter. In the compari son of numbers he may have been right, but in the consequence he was wrong, for though in a strange and foreign clime he met no lack of old acquaintances. He arrived on Sunday, the 15th of February, and on the following day was seen parading the straggling streets of Hobart-town with an air of confidence, self•poEsession, and indifference ; but scarcely did he pass through one of them, or near any of the Government or Penitentiary establishments, when he was recog nized by his former " pals," and saluted with, " Oh ! Ikey, my boy, how are you ? Blow me but I am glad to see you : what 4 lucky fellow you have been !' While others, point ing him out to their friends, remarked—" I say, there goes Ikey Solomons ; he used to fence my swag—the rogue, if it was not for him I should not be here now." These running comments nothing daunted Ikey ; he turned a deaf ear to them : he still continued his business, and during the week days drove about in a fashionable English-built gig. His superciliousness, and contempt of his former friends, roused their vengeance, and they gave information to Colonel Arthur, and the local government, of the personage who had ar rived on the island, and of the circumstances under which he had escaped, and the heavy charges that were against him in England. At about three o'clock on Saturday, the 21st, two constables, in the disguise of out-settlers, came into his shop, one of whom said he wanted some tobacco, and the other a pipe. On coming in they asked for the old gentleman, as they pre ferred dealing with him to the young ores. Ikey, who was behind the counter, started up, and said, " I am the person," and instantly one of the men seized him, and said, " You are the man we want." On his apprehension Ikey turned as pale as death, and after recovering from the stupor of a few moments, exclaimed. " So help me God I am a gone man now ; it's all over with me. I am done for." He then made a rush towards a desk at the upper-end of the counter, on which there was lying a pen knife, which he endeavoured to seize hold of, no doubt for the purpose of committing suicide, but was prevented in the attempt by the con stables, to whose assistance four of the military who were stationed outside came with drawn bayonets and fire arms. Having rendered him powerless, they handcuffed him, and brought him before the Chief Police Magistrate of the colony, and after his undergoing a short exami nation, and being identified as Isaac Solomorls, who stood capitally charged in the county of Middlesex, he was committed to gaol, in order to await the sailing of a return convict transport to the mother country. While in gaol, to guard against the possibility of escape, he was heavily ironed, and, by a strange coincidence, the vessel in which he has been embarked is the Mermaid, Captain Ile neker, the same in which his wife was Us! ported. On his being taken into custody, .d property in the shop and house, which wag' considerable amount, were seized on by the e lonial authorities, and it was about being t!, posed of, and its produce appropriat e d to! use of the Crown, when the elder sons in?: fered, and, on their representation to the Cl' Justice, and producing satisfactory proofs 11' . the major part of it belonged to them, its ret‘i ration was ordered. After the apprehensiow her husband, Mrs. Solomons was removed to cotton manufactory, (a more lenient kind of. nitentiary), distant about three miles from tr: hart-town, and her younger children to an orpl school, established by Government, where ) will be permitted at least once a week to /,.i g them. Strict orders, howeve r , h a v e b ee n jests to preclude the two elder sons, John and MO from holding any communication with her / the present. In entering into a detail of the latter porti of the life of so singular a character, We 1 14 the authority of the person who has been bet) alluded to. He was present in Solomon's 3/ 10 in Hobart -town, when he was again made ad, able to justice, and was witness to and WI knowledge of all the circumstances above P 1 rated. THE MARKETS.
