SPIRIT OF THE LONDWi JOURNALS. • the Association by Mr. Latonche, the question concerns Protestants as well as Catholics; and a million of Irish Protestants feel the strongest dis satisfaction at the continuance, without any in telligible object, of this source of discord. The disappointmeflt to the Catholics will no doubt be great; but we are quite satisfied that it will find a vent only in Constitutional means. Every Catholic of influence is impressed with the ab solute necessity of preserving the peace of the country.—Morning Chronicle. At the last Meeting of the Catholic Asso ciation, Mr. O'Connell informed his auditors, that negociations on the subject of a Concordat were at that moment pending between . the Bri tish Government and the Papal See, and that he believed the Duke of Buckingham was the person employed on the part of the English Mi nistry to conduct the negociation. On such a subject, it is manifestly the interest, and pro bably within the power of Mr. O'Connell, to command the earliest and most authentic information, and therefore his statement is en titled to very serious attention ; but we do not, in this instance, pin our faith solely on the authority of that gentleman—from other sources of information we are inclined to be. lieve his account to be substantially correct, and we are pretty certain that the Duke of Bucking ham, forgetting the old Statute of Provisors, and not having the fear of a Pratmunire before his eyes, but being moved and instigated by the Lritish Cabinet (suadente Diabolo), the Bruns wickers say, did actually enter into a negociation or communication with the Ministers of his Ho liness, for the purpose above stated. Now, on reference to dates, it will be found that the ne gociation of his Grace of Buckingham was simultaneous with the mission of Mr. Holmes to Ireland, and that both were immedi ately followed up by the letter of the Duke of Wellington to the Roman Catholic Pri mate, and the Congress at 'Wootton. It is here worth observing, that the father and son (the Duke of Buckingham and the Mar quis of Chi:1(1os) each took a prominent part in their respective branches of the transac tion, but with very opposite intentions—the Duke favouring Emancipation, the Marquis professing, in its utmost rigour, die Doctrine of Exclusion. It is easy to say, in the polished and tranchant style of a Contemporary, " there is not a word of truth in all this," but we think there is a body of direct, as well as circumstan tial evidence, an accumulation of testimony, a coincideNce of facts and dates, almost sufficient to furnish judicial Proof that a negociation, im portant in its objects, and extensive in its rami fications, has been for some time going on with activity ; and we will further add our decided conviction, that the Reunion at this moment assembled at Stowe, is intimately connected with the transacti on s w e h ave detailed : the last accounts from: Ireland, and the rumours prevalent as to the recall or resignation of the Marquis of Anglesea, give an additional, and, we fear, a sinister interest to the deliberations of the Conclave, and our readers may rely on it, that no exertion shall be wanting on our part to procure early and authentic information on a subject the most important that at this moment engages the attention of the nation.—Eid. . las it is sound in principle, we say sup. port him.

The seaman was then remanded. 130 W. Eft tt EET. Mr. Gates, the solicitor, and another professional gentleman employed by the society of bankers, waited yesterday upon Sir R. BIRNIE, with whom they had a long conference in the private-room, re lative to the escape of Stephenson, the banker. We wcre given to triderstand that a clue has been ob tained which may lead to his apprehension. Bishop, had previously stated to Sir H. Birnie his belief that Mr. Stephenson had in the instance proceeded direct .to Bristol, and arriving there had embarked immediately for America. After the conference with the Chief Magistrate was over, Mr. Gates and Bishop left the office together in a hackney-coach, and Sir R. Birnie soon after proceeded to the Home office. In the course of the morning a gentleman, who announced himself as the nephew of Lord Stafford, addressed Sir R. Birnie, and requested to know if a report published is the Times journal of.a conversa tion purporting to have passed between him (Sir R. Birnie) and a Captain Pettinghall, relative to some supposed transactions between Lord Stafford and Mrs. Stamp Sutton Cooke, was correctly given. If so, Captain Pettinghall, or rather, Mr. Cubitt, from whom it was stated the information came, had ut tered that which was grossly false and highly in jurious to the character of Lord Stafford. The gentleman added, that falsehoods such as had been stated were doubly mischievous when published in such a paper as the Times, which was circulated through every part of the country. Sir R. BtaNtE was sorry that Captain Petting hall had stated what he did, but certainly what had taken place was fairly reported. The gentleman then requested that as soon as Sir Richard Biruie should have made the requisite in quiry, lie would state the result, and publicly repro bate the author of the slander. Sir R. BIRNIE bowed in acquiescence, and the gentleman withdrew. Just as Sir R. BIRNIE left the ofiSce, Mr. Wilks, the bookseller, who had previously been waiting for an opportunity to address him upon the subject of a report which appeared in the Times of Saturday, foilowed him into the passage, and pointing to the report in question, said, " Aly name is Wilks, Sir; I nut the individual who prosecuted Ferstandeg; I %%jib to draw your attention to this statement?' Sir R. lIIRNIE—WeII, what of it ? Wilks--The report says that the conversation between you and Mr. Ferstandeg occurred in private. Sir R.litnNo— Yes, in the private room, not in. the office; what then ? Wilks—You are made to say, that if you knew as much of me at the time when Ferstaedeg was exatnined as you did then, you would be cautious how you committed any man upon such testimony. Sir R. BIRNIE—I did say so; it is quite true. Wilks—You were not justified in making use of such an observation. Sir H. BlRNlE—Begone, Sir ! Wilks—l say it was unjust and uncalled for. Sir H. BIRNIE—Quit the office, I say. With-- (going)—l shall seek redress elsewhere. Sir R. ButNts---officer, turn this fellow out. Wilks, upon this order, hastily retired, and again met the chief magistrate in the outer passage, as he was about to retire to his own house. Wilks—l can bring testimonials, Sir Richard Birnie, which will satisfy you that I am a respectable man! Sir R. BIRNIR—If you cull produce a single book seller, stationer, printer, or bookbinder, in the whole metropolis of London, who will come forward and give you a good character, I will attend to your complaint; but not till then. Wilks at last retired, after an ineffectual effort to con lince the chief magistrate that he ought to bear him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Samuel Mullett, a young man, in the garb of a waiter, was brought before Mr. ROE, on a warrant of bastardy before birth, by Mr. Chadrrell, one of the parish officers of St. James's. A pretty-looking well-dressed young woman, named Rebecca Chand ler, in the third month of her pregnancy, servant to a fitiNily in Dover -street, Piccadilly, was conducted to the office, order to swear that the defendant was the father of the infant with which she was then pregnant. On the unhappy young creature behold ing Mullet, she went into strong hysterics, and up braided him 44 feeling terms with having seduced her under aggravated circumstances. Mr. Roe in vain endeavoured to prevail on the girl to compose herself to have the oath administered to her. She threw herself on tile floor with such violence that the comb in her hair entered her head, and caused the blood to flow copiously, and it required the united strength of four persons to carry her towards the Magistrate's table. At length the poor girl was sworn, and Mr. Roe desired her to point out the father of her child. " There is the wretch," ex claimed the girl, gazing wildly around, and aiming a desperate blow at Mullett, who stood near her, and escaped solely by running for protection into the Magistrate's private room, having previontly inti mated that he was not prepared with bail to satisfy the parish. Mr. RoE then renewed his efforts to soothe the unfortunate young creature, whose continued shrieks were most distressing, by assuring her that the fel low was gone to prison, and see might return peace ably home ; but the only reply she made to the Ma gistrate's observation was, " Oh ! my poor mother," and half-uttered expressions concerning others of her family . The poor girl was then conveyed into the •pen air, and restoratives applied, and eventually her sister had her taken borne in a coach in a dreadful state, arising from excessive anguish of mind. Mul lett, who, until the young woman terrified him by her frantic gestures, protested that he had a great deal to offer in his defence, was locked up in default of bail. On Friday evening last, between six and seven o'clock, as a youth about 18 years of age was passing through Hyde-park, he was attacked by two fo reigners, who seized him, and forcing him down on one of the seats, proceeded, by force and violence, to commit an assault of an atrocious description on him. The youth repeatedly called out " Murder I" but while doing so the prisoners held him by the throat, and attempted to stifle his cries, in which, not succeeding, one of them was is the act of draw ing out a knife from his pocket, when sonic persons fortunately came up, and the ruffians run away in, different directions, and one of them made his escape, but the other being closely pursued, was taken, and conveyed to this office, from whence he was committed by the Magistrate to take his trial for the assault. On his way to this office from the Park he contrived to inflict a severe wound on him self with the knife he carried in the lower part of his throat, which discharged a vast quantity of blood before it could be properly bandaged by a stir geon ; and on his way to prison afterwards, he tore away the bandages in the street, and opened the wound afresh. When, however, he got to Tothill• fields prison, the wound was re-bandaged, and he was secured with a strait waistcoat, in which situa tion he at present remains, until the approaching We , tminster Sessions. The prisoner's name is Louis illaria Lambert, a native of Franco, and he states himself to be a silk-weavar, lately in the em ploy of some silk-manufacturers, having an esta blishment at Battersea. Nothing further was heard of The prisoner's companion, who had made hie escape, nor was he sought after, as there was no clue to his detention, until yesterday, a respectable female, who keeps a lodging-house in Riding-house lane, Oxford-street, came to the office, end stated, that having seen in one of the Sunday newspapers an account of the applehension and committal to prison of a Frenchman, she was satisfied from the description of the prisoner's person there given that he was a lodger of hers, who with his companion, also a lodger in the house, and a Frenchman too, went out on Friday evening, and had never since returned, although his companion did on the sense night, and stated that he had missed his friend by some accident, having left him speaking with a gen tleman in the street, and he supposed that he had lost his way to the house, and could not again find it. The Magistrate at once suspected, too, that these were the parties who had assaulted the boy, and sent for the latter to identify the man still in the lodgings, if he should turn out to be the other offender; and on the boy's arrival, Clements and Ballard, the officers, were sent with him to the house, with directions to take the Frenchman into custody if he was the offender. On the officers go ing to the house the Frenchman was still in bed at two o'clock in the afternoon ; but they ascended to an attic room where he slept, accompanied by the boy. The room-door was locked inside, but on one of the officers knocking, and haying that he had a letter to deliver, the door was opened, and the Frenchman stood before them in his shirt and night cap. The boy, in that state of comparative nudity, could not recognize the man as one of those who assaulted him, but the moment the Frenchman spoke, the ♦outh exclaimed that it was the same man, for he knew his voice. The prisoner (for such he was then made) having, with some reluctance, by the orders of the cfficera, put on his clothes, and taking off his night-cap, the boy distinctly recognized him by his dress and general appearance, as well as by his voice. The prisoner, who does not himself seem to be above 20 years of age, was thee brought to the office, and the youth having repeated his evi deuce as against the other man, this prisoner was also committed for trial. The prisoner gave his name Eli Prince, and said that he had been a waiter at one of the principal coffee-houses at Paris, HATTON-GARDEN. Thomas Borant and William Fulcher, both young men in the service of the late hanker, Mr. Rowland Stephenson, were yesterday brought up in custody of two parish oflicers, charged with stealing wines and other articles, the property of the assignees of their master. Fuicher stated to the - Magistrate that he Wail en gaged by Boum the night before to take the pro perty away that morning, and beyond that knew no thing more of the matter. - Yoram declined to say any thirg to the charge, and both were remanded for further examination on Monday next. LAMBETH-STREET. On Saturday a respectable-looking Israelite, named Crawrow, accompanied by his daughter, a rather handsome young wernan, sixteen years of age, shortly after the Magistrate (Mr. WYATT) had taken his seat on the bench, applied to him to issue his warrant for the apprehension of a gentleman. The MAGISTRATE asked what was the gentleman's name; and what were the grounds on which the applicant claimed his assistance ? Mr. Crawrow—His namf. is Williams; and he en deavoured, both by bribes and entreaties, to corrupt my daughter. She can tell your Worship how it was. The daughter, thus appealed to, stated that on the evening of Christmas day, while she was walk ing along the Commercial-road, a gentleman (a foreigner she thought him) met her, and addressed her in warm terms of admiration, and entreated her to accompany him to his lodgings; but this she re fused, and, finding her inexorable, he told her that if she would only comply with hie wishes, he would on the following day accompany her to France, and there marry her. This she also declined, and h• finally offered her five sovereigns, which she, of course, spurned at, and left him; but he followed her to her father's residence, about which both she and the servants have since seen him hovering. Mr. WYATT—By your own accohnt you do not require any assistance of urine, as you very properly had the good sense and virtue to resist this person's importunities. Mr. Crawrow—But, Sir, as he could not then inveigle her, he made her promise she would meet him on the following evening at a house in Went worth -street, which, on enquiry, I find to be a house of ill-fame. Mr. WYATT (to 31irs Craw•row)—Did this gen tleman, as you call him, use any ungentlemanly be haviour ? Miss C.—He did, Sir. Mr. WYArr--Then you shall have a warrant. The warrant was at once issued, and placed in the hands of one of the officers, who, in a short time, brought Mr. Williams—, who, it turned out, is an operative in a blue factory—in custody. After a short examination the Magistrate ordered him to find good bail keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, and more particularly towards Mis 3 C. UNION.HALL Yesterday Philip Levi, a broker and dealer in marine stores, residing in the Borough-road, was brotq,,ht before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged as receiver of a quantity of glass, keowing it to have buen stolen. Barham, a picture dealer, stated that he is at present building some houses in Lambeth, and that on Monday night, the 29th ult., some thieves en tered one of them, and having unfixed several win dow-frames, cut out 80 panes of glass from them, leaving the frames behind on the ground-floor. A witness, named Foster, on the 30th of Decem ber, went to the shop of the prisoner, and purchased of him the 32 squares of glass now produced, at the rate of 10d. each square. On his quilting the ramp the prisoner said, " Don't tell any body what I sold the glass to you for." The prisoner, in his defence, said that a person named Roberts, whose place of abode he did not know, brought the glass to his shop, and offered it for sale. lie did not purchase it at the time, but proposed to Roberts to let it remain in his shop for a customer, and that whatever it fetched he should have, on allowing a small sum for disposing of it. The prisoner added, that Foster purchased 32 panes of the glass, and that subsequently to the purchase Roberti came there and took away the re mainder himself. On a former occasion, a servant of the prisoner's said that he should lie enabled to identify the man who left the glass at his master's shop, This indi vidual was directed to be in attendance yesterday, but since the last examination, it appears, he has absconded. The Magistrates, three of whom were present, coincided in a determination to commit the prisoner as a receiver of the complainant's property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. CHAMBERS said that the circumstance of the prisoner's man having absconded since the last exa mination, coupled with the fact of his enjoining the witness Foster " not to tell any body what he had given for the glass," showed that he (the pri soner) must have been aware in what manner the glass was procured. Mr. Harmer, on behalf of the prisoner, applied to have bail taken for his appearance at the sessions; but the application was rejected. A widow hath always been a mark for mockery, a standing butt for wit to level at. Jest after jeet bath been huddled upon her close cap, and stuck, like burrs, upon her weeds. Her sables are a perpetual " black joke." Satirists—prose and verse—have made merry with her bereavements. She is a stock character on the stage.— Farce bottleth up her crocodile tears, or labelleth her empty lachrymatories. Comedy moeketh her precocious flirta tions. Tragedy even girdeth at her frailty, and twitteth her with " the funeral baked mean coldly furnishing forth the marriage tables." THE ARMY.
