SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Nothing specific has appeared as yet with te• gard to the terms of the Adrianople treaty. We cannot conceive why, as they " are signed, sealed, and delivered," they should not be matt; known. Respecting Lord Stuart and the great smuggling transaction, the affair is ditTerent. The investigation is not yet concluded, we presutnt and therefore we must wait for the official issue with patience. However, we will venture to say thus much to the Government, that if, dosing the present feverish state of the public mind on commercial concerns, it should affect any con cealment in an affair of such painful interest mei real importance, it will do as much towards in- juring its character with the mercantile and ma facturing body, both of France and England, as if . it had itself attempted to defraud the Nye- Tales of the-two kingdoms. The Duke of Wel- lington, we trust, will not forget that he is the First Lord of the Treasury to his Britannic Majesty; and, remembering that, his Grace will know what is due to the Treasury of an allied Sovereign, whose subjects have quite as much occasion to complain of the pressure of taxation and the aggravation of poverty as those of any other Government under Heaven, though many of our countrymen think it not.— Times. of Northumberland has taken of his duties to wards the people of Ireland, his Grace's answer to the address delivered to him by the seceding Presbyterian Synod of Ulster, which will be found subjoined ADDRESS TO THE LORb LIEUTENANT. The following iddress from the Secession Synod to the Lord Lieutenant was last week presented to his Excellency by a deputation from that body :-- " To his Grace liugh, Peke of N•ort z numberland, Lord Lieuteailt d.ndG'eneral Governor of Ireland.

A great deal of ciirioiig information fespecting the 6 venetal history tit the horse, the Varidiis forw Ai; breeds, the history of the English horse, and the different breeds, is given in this tract ; and the descriptions are illustrated by wood engravings, very well •ekectited. The information, though adapted to the capacity of the cottaget, will be new to many a gentleman farmer ; for the slib. ject of breeds of animals opens up a boundless field of inquiry, and few practical breeders have attained yet to any certain principles for their guidance. One observation in this Treatise is deserving of notice from the important lesson which may be derived from it in the case of another race of animals. It seems the genealogy of the Kochlani Arabian horses, according to the Arab account, is known for 2,000 years. " Many of them are written and attested pedigrees extending more than 400 years, and with true eastern exaggeration traced by oral tradition from the stud of Solomon. A more careful account is kept of these genealogies than be longs to the most ancient family of the proudest Arab Chief, and very singular precautions are taken to prevent the possibility of fraud, so far as the written pedigree extends. The Kochlani are principally reared by the Bedouin Arabs, in the remoter deserts, A stallion may be pro cured without much difficulty, although at a great price. A mare is rarely to be obtained, except by fraud and excessive bribery, The Arabs have found out that which the English breeder should never forget, that the female is more concerned than the male in the excellence and value of the produce ; and the genealogies of their horses are always reckoned from their mothers." It has been remarked as a confirma tion of the theory of the Arabians, that the phrase mother-wit has its origin in the circum stance that cleverness always comes from the side of the mother. People who have taken the pains to examine the biographies of eminent men attentively, allege that they have often had stupid fathers; but seldom, if ever, stupid mothers. Now, as we have in this country the unspeak able advantage of hereditary Legislators, is it not important to know that talent and capacity may be insured to the nation through the mo thers alone ? No man knows his own father, as Telemachus says in the Odyssey, when he was asked whether he was the son of Ulysses ; but of the mother he may speak on highly probable testimony. Some people may suppose that we are seeking to undermine the authority of men, by thus lowering their importance ; and it is un questionably true, that if there be any truth in the Arabian doctrine, the motive for attachment to an illustrious origin by the father's side is weakened. To return to our subject, we heartily rejoice at this attempt to convey the means of instruction to our village population. We trust the result will be as fortunate as the intention is praiseworthy.—Morning Chronicle. Anxiously as the people both of this country and of France have been looking for some time past for a copy of the articles of the treaty of Adrianople, no such document has yet found publicity either through the German or Paris Papers. It is understood, however, that the last dispatches from Sir R. Gordon, our Am bassador at Constantinople, have brought an authentic copy of it to Gyvernment, and no great length of time, therefore, we should hope, would elapse before the public be put in pos session of its contents. In the meantime it is stated, on authority in the Courier, that " the treaty does not contain any such condition as that mentioned in the French Papers, that the passage of the Bosphorus shall be open to the vessels of all nations at peace with Russia and the Porte. On that head," says it, "we under. stand, it merely stipulates that there shall be a free passage to the Black Sea, for the vessels of all nations at peace with the Porte, without making any reference to the relations which may at that time subsist between such nations and Russia." If this fact be as stated, it undoubt edly does away with an objection which we hesi tated not to affirm would have furnished both France and England with a justifiable ground of war ; but the treaty, even with this im portant modification, is still a virtual anni hilation of the Turkish empire, and as such, ought not, consistently either with the declara tion of the Duke of Wellington, " that the in tegrity of the Turkish empire must be main tained," or with the balance of power, and well being of the different States, of Europe, to be sanctioned either by England or France. No man in his senses will believe that after maintain-. ing military occupation of Turkey, or at a events the greater part of it, during a period o eleven years, the Russians will be persuaded to return home by any other means than those which enabled them to find their way to the heart of the eastern empire. An dis this a state of things in which France and England ought to acquiesce ? Is the trade of the Black Sea, and the whole of the Archipelago, unworthy of the notice of a British Minister, at a period when it ought to be a matter of deep considera tion to seek out new channels for the consump tion of our products ? Is Russia to be not only all powerful on land, but also to threaten the maritime States of Europe with her greatness as a naval power ? We are willing to make every allowancirfor the Duke of Wellington—we ad mire his love of peace, and anxiety to ward off the horrors of war—we readily admit that, after his precipitate declarations of the just right of Russia to go to war with the Porte in defiance of the understanding in which the Treaty of. July was entered into, and to blockade the Dardanelles after he had waved his rights as a belligerent in the Mediterranean, it was difficult to find a plea for giving effectual support to the Sultan against his powerful and crafty enemy ; but the case is now altered—the Emperor has belied, as we al ways believed he would, his professions of mo deration—the balance of power and the peace of Europe are endangered by the treaty of Adri anople—and on these grounds a case is made out for armed interference, which would satisfy a more squeamish Minister than his Grace. We are aware that the Premier does not like the treaty of Adrianople—that several Cabinet Councils have been held on the subject—that remonstrances have been made—and that orders of no very peaceful character have been sent to the Mediterranean and Archipelago ; but these proceedings, which might have been enough to frighten the Emperor Nicholas before General Diebitsch crossed the Balkan, will be utterly powerless, now that three-fourths of the Otto man empire are in his grasp. If the Duke of Wellington means seriously to oppose the treaty of Adrianople, he must have recourse to deeds. The period when words would avail is past,—Morning Advertiser. POLICE. INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Goldham, the superintendant of Billingsgate market, complained to the LoRD MAYOR against tfhat he conceived to be a great nuisance. He said that there wad arf Inditidusi of respectable outward appearance who attended at tiillingsgtte regularly eery Sunday lot the purpose of pteaehing. flis tithe: of hbldihk fofth it as preciiely at the hour of the commeneeMent of diiike seivice hi the parish church. He mounted the tables'in tilt , : market; the after giving out hymns and psalms he commenced a regular discourse, sometimes to a numerous congre gation of boys and girls, many of whom were en gaged in making game of him. At the conclusion Of the mock sertice t money:4)ox was generally handed about for persons to put in halfpence, which the preacher said were to be appropriated to the funds of the Religious Tract Society, and some times a good bit of money was collected. The Minister of the parish considered these proceedings highly disgraceful and hurtful to religion. He had therefore directed Mr. Goldham to inquire if his Lordship had not the power to put a stop to them. The LORD MAYOR doubted whether he had any power to interfere. He did not know whether this individual had not the right to preach if he liked, provided he did not cause a breach of the peace.— He might say that he was only following the ex ample of the Apostles, who preached in all open public places. Mr. Goldham inquired if he had any right to col lect money. The LORD MAYOR thought that he was not jos• tified in collecting money ; but he should like to know whether the money collected ever reached the Religious Tract Society; if it did not, the whole was an imposition. After some few remarks from Mr. Hobler as to the right of persons to preach, an officer was di rected to make inquiry at the Religious Tract So ciety to ascertain whether they knew any thing of this worthy gentleman. Three Captains of the Guards were brought be fare the LORD MAYOR, charged by some watchmen of the City, with having committed an assault upon one of the latter body, kicked up a general row, and uttered reproaches against the Chief Magistrate. The watchman, who compla;ned of the assault, stated, that on the preceding night, at about twelve o'clock, while he was superintending his beat, the three Captains appeared in Eastcheap, rather dis guised in liquor, and one of them walked up to him, and began to abuse his profession of watchman, and swore " dreadful" at him. He, however, in a gen tlemanly sort of way, begged of them to go on, and not to break the peace, but the Captain vot led the way brandished a stick as big us his arm, and threatened to use it upon the witness's head, at the same time calling him a Charley. Still the witness continued to act in a mild manner, but the Captain was not to be persuaded. " Your Lord ship," said the watchman, " he gave his stick a twist, and made a wipe at me, and if I had not held up my own stick, I wouldn't be here now to tell you the story, for he would have cracked my skull." The LORD MAYOR—Did he strike you ? Watch man-4ndeed he did. He hit my hat, but I pre. vented him from breaking my head. The Captain alluded to is a powerful young man, and the watchman presented the usual m►serable ap pearance. The LoRD MAYOR thought it strange that such a blow, as the gentleman was able to give, had not broken through the guard of the watchman. The Watchman—l assure you, my Lord, that he struck at me with all his might ; but I throwed up my stick and catched his'n, and so it came down tender.— (Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, and what did the other defendants do ?—The Watchman : They was kicking up a scrummage with the other watchmen, and they all behaved unbearable.—(Laughter.)—So, my Lord, arter we see that it was no use to suy no thing to them, we says we'd take'em to the watchus, if they wouldn't go off quiet, and have them up be fore the Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor, says they, What ! old Thompson ?—(Loud laughter.)-oh, we knows old Thompson well, and we don't care a about him ; so then we takes hold on e'm, and put them in the watchus, for we couldn't bear it no farther. Another of the watchmen stated, that the three defendants didn't seem to care a single pin for any of the citizens of London. Please your Lord ship, said the witness, they not only said they did not care a for your Lordship, but they said that you was of their way of thinking.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, what did they mean by that ?—Watchman : Why they said, my Lord, that your Lordship was like them, all for the New Police, and a " henemy" to all the poor creeturs of Charleys—(laughter)--so we thought it too bad for your Lordship to be insulted in that ere way as well as ourselves, and we gathered together and tuck them off to the watchus. The defendants declared, one and all, that no at tempt had been made to strike any one of the watch men. If the attempt had been made, it no doubt would have succeeded, as the difference in strength between the parties was very conspicuous indeed. The watchman had taken offence at the old salute of " good night, Charley," and called them (the defendants " humbugs." One of them (the defendants) had injudiciously turned round and asked the person who used such gross language, whom he meant ? and then a crowd of watchmen gathered round them, and insisted upon locking them up in \ the watch-house; no resistance what ever was made to the movement of the watchmen, whose only object, it was evident, was extortion. The LORD MAYOR said he did not believe one word about the assault. If the blow had been struck the watchman must have had something to show for it. Why, said his Lordship, your hat has not even a mark upon it. The watchman said the hat that was hurt was at home. All the defendants declared, upon their honour, that not one of them raised his hand to any of the watchmen. The Watchmen--But, your Lordship, we're on our oaths; think of that, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—I don't believe there was a blow struck, and I discharge the matter. BOW-STREET. TITO OLD POLlCE.—Yesterday after the very nu merous list of charges brought up by the New Police had been gone through, Upson, who has been an active and useful officer of this Establishment for se veral years, accompanied by Morgan, Brown, Steg gles, and others, of the Old Police, came before Sir R. BIRNIE and addressed him as follows :—Sir Richard, having this morning, together with nine others of my brother officers, received my discharge from this Establishment, after many years' service, I have thought it my duty to you and to myself, in the first place, to return you my humble thanks for the Many acts of kindness which I have received at your hands, and to ask you at the same time if you are aware of any thing in my conduct that merited a peremptory and unceremonious dismissal from the situation. Sir RICIIARD BlaNlE—What, Upson, are you discharged ? lam really surprised. But first I will answer your question, and I say that I never knew anything in your conduct that merited censure ; on the contrary, I have often had occasion to speak in terms of commendation of the manner in which you have performed your duty. I know you have often been employed confidentially in cases of great deli cacy and importance, and I found you a most useful, active, and shrewd officer, and a respectable man.— How long have you received your discharge ? Upson—This morning, Sir Richard—the discharge was sent up from the Secretary of State's Office, without a moment's notice. Sir R. BIRNIE—I am very sorry for it, but I can not help it. All I can say is, that I have had nothing to do with it. They are determined to reduce the old establishment, and they must, I suppose begin somewhere. Morgan said the .situations which they had been deprived ,of were Uot of so Much consecinence their characters—they had all families to support, and it Might be imagined, front the, suddenness of their disirdsSal; that they had cornmittedsolnEcrime.

BIRNIE—I am very sorry td lose any of you, but the matter is taken out of my hands hate no power to alter the decision. The men again thanked the worthy Magistrate, and having given up their appointments (cutlasses, pistols, &c.) they left the office. Daniel Hobbs was charged by one of the new police with being drunk in Arundel -street, Strand, at three o'clock yesterday morning. When taken to the watch- , house or station, he was searched, and had above SOO/. in his possession. He bad three Bank of England notes for 100/., fare sovereigns, and some silver. Being dresstd rather shabbily as a working mechanic, he was of course asked to account for the possession of the money, which he had in a core tnon tin tobacco-box, but he was so drunk that no information could be obtained from him. The MAGISTRATE having asked the man to account for the possession of it, he stated that it had been left him by his brother's will ; but he seemed not at all communica tive on the subject. It was, however, ascertained that he received the money by a cheque upon Messrs. Child and Co.'s bank. Mr. Thomas, the Police Superintendant, had ascertained that the notes had been in the hands of those bankers in Mar last. The prisoner's wife entered the Office, and produced a copy of a will, which was however dated so far back as 1806. The Magistrate then requested Mr. Thomas to go with the man to the banker's, and Of possible to ascertain if the notes bad been paid to him. Mr. Thomas did so, and the prisoner was recognised as the person to whom the notes had been paid. Sir R. BIRNIE directed the money to be returned to him which he received, and was discharged, the Magistrate ob serving that the man was greatly indebted to the exertions of the police. The roll of charges was very long,' end contained no fewer than 75 cases. H ATTON. GARDEN. ATTACK ON THE NEW OMNIBUS.—A man named George Wilder was brought before Mr. LAING, charged by Mr. Shillibeer, the Omnibus proprietor. Mr. W. Wright, who acts ast superintendent of the Omnibus, deposed that on Sunday afternoon. about half-past three o'clock, as the Omnibus was proceeding near St. Pancras New Church, quite full, having 20 passengers inside, the prisoner hailed him. Witness informed him there was no room. — The prisoner then jumped upon the step behind the coach, and hung on by the door, and used the most disgusting language, there being several ladies in side. He desired the prisoner to get down : he re fused, and still hung by the door. Witness then forced him off, and as soon as he got down he took up a large stone, and threw it with great violence at the Omnibus : luckily it escaped entering the window by a few inches, and went against the panel of the door, which it broke in. Witness then gave the prisoner in charge to Ley, the beadie.l Mr. LAING (to Mr. Shilliber)—What is the amount of damage done to the coach ? Mr. Shilli her replied, he had scarcely had time to inquire, but the amount of damage done was not so much an object with him as the punishment of thesnisoner, us he had acted in so scandalous a manner. Mr. LAING—Do you think that 31. would pay the damage done ? Mr. Shillibeer—l think it scarcely would, as the panel is completely broken, and the painting of course spoiled. Mr. LAING (to prisoner)—How do you get your living ? Prisoner—l go into the country with pickled salmon and other things. Mr. LAING—YOU must pay the SUM of 3/. 10s. or go to prison for two months. The prisoner was then removed. Mr. LAING told Mr. Shillibeer, in the event of the fine being paid, he would be entitled to a part of it ; he had better call at the office during the two months, to see if it were paid. Mr. Shillibeer thanked the Magistrate, but stated his object was accomplished in punishing the man. DISTURBANCE AT THE NEW PRISON.—A tall athletic man, named Fraser, employed as a watch man in the New Prison, was charged by the Go vernor with an assault and outrageous acts of insub- ordination. Mr. Thomas Kilsby, the Governor, stated, that on Sunday evening the prisoner was very much in toxicated, and witness recommended him to go home. Prisoner became very insolent, and presented his blunderbuss at witness, fixed the spring bayonet on it, and defied every one about the place. Wit ness endeavoured to wrest the blunderbuss from him, in which with difficulty he succeeded.

CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—Mr. Gramshaw, a jeweller, of No. 259, Oxford -street, gave informa tion of the following robbery :—Yesterday morning he received a letter, purporting to come from a per son at Chelsea, requesting certain articles of jewel lery might be sent. They were made up accord ingly, and the lad sent with them. Soon after his departure, and while witness was alone in the shop, a man in the garb of a mechanic entered the shop and asked to look at some gold rings. Witness showed him a tray full, and while he was examin ing them a second man entered, upon which the first seized a tray of rings worth about 401. and ran off. The other expressed his surprise at so daring a robbery, and ran out, apparently to take the thief, but of course did not return. Witness could not follow them himself, as he had no one to leave in charge of the shop. The applicant was referred to Plank, the officer, who proceeded to attend to his case. There were upwards of eighty night charges heard against persons who were found drunk and disorderly, and who were fined ss. each. Ann Townshend, a middle-aged woman, mho stated that she was a nurse, and lived in George street, Foley-place, was charged with the following robberies : A shopmau to a linen-drapar in Oxford-street stated that she took a piece of riband off the counter. He laid hold of her, and found the riband concealed about her person. Andrews, an officer of Marlborough-street, stated be took charge of the prisoner, and found a great number of duplicates on her person. The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence, and was committed to Newgate for trial. Shortly afterwards Mr. Ratlin, a gentleman living in Oxford-street, came to the office, and stated that the prisoner had nursed his wife, and while she was in his service a variety of gold and other trinkets were missing. The prisoner was remanded on this charge until Thursday next. bIARYLEBONE. - Brookes, Johnson's late witness, was told three weeks ago, by Mr. Hosiurts, that his evidence would not be received again at this office.

The informations were supported by Sake.' UNICII4.IIALL it"c4f#day a man, named Dailey, the driver or one of those gortarts, which ply at Kennington, was brought before Messrs. CHAMBERS and Hosls charged with having corntnitted a most gross and unprovoked assault on one of the new policemen. The complainant stated, that on the preceding afternoon, as he was passing Kennington Church, defendant, who was standing near the spot ran after fildty exclaiming, there goes one of Peel's policemet!: The policeman did not at first notice the abuse so tetteparingly lavished:on bins, until et length, encouraged by the blackguard behaviour Of the defendant, the rest of the go-cart men joined , the tumult, following close upon the heels •of the policeman, who fearing that they were about to attack: him, turned round in order to remonstrate , : The moment he stopped, the defendant, win , vcs# the ringleader, seized him by the collar and ex' deavoured to throw him down, upon which the/ , policeman drew forth his staff to protect himself,: but this was speedily wrested from him, and these is no doubt he would haNe suffered severely from his assailants had it not been for the circumstance or another policeman, dressed in plain clothes, who ran to his aid, and succeeded, after a desperate tie' sistance, in placing the defendant in the watch-house', A gentleman, who witnessed the transaction, at' tended, and stated that he never saw a man pot , sessed of more forbearance than the _policeman es' hibited on the occasion. He (the witness) heard the irritating language with which he was assailed, and notwithstanding all, the policeman never et' tempted to resent until he was actually assaulted. The defendant denied the assault, and said shag he only " chaffed" the policeman like the rest dais people. Mr. CHAMBERS said, that an example should be . made in this instance, in order to deter persons, of the defendant's stamp, from interfering with silo , . belonging to the new police.

TRIPOLI, IN SYRIA, JUNE 14, 1829. The concern which you take in every thing whiff ' is interesting to humanity, induces me to communicate ° you the result of some experiments which we have j 1 made here with the chlorurets of oxides, in order to deter . . mine their action upon the virus of the plague. " We had hardly returned to Cairo from our voyage "'' Upper and Middle Egypt, when we learned that th e plague was raging at Tripoli, in Syria. Though it 10$ our duty to remain in Egypt, we could not resist the de' sire of going to Tripoli, in order to make some trials, it ° result of which was doubtful until , the plague should Ter, nifest itself at Cairo or at Alexandria, which is not the case every year ; and which, indeed, sometimes only sr. ptars at long intervals. " We consequently set off for Damietta, ind fro thence for Berut and Tripoli. We have been at this 10 0 place a fortnight; and our experiments relative to the di!' infection of clothes are finished. " The most important point was to convince ourael/ whether the pestilential virus would resist the action °, chlortirets ; and in order to leave no doubt upon the Ol t : ter, it was necessary to make trial of the chlorurets le; clothes covered with perspiration, pus, and blood, lef t $ their death by the persons attacked with the plague. lt We requested the Vice-Consul to procure to 11 , 4 coa ts, which he bought of the relations of six indiv idnel who had (lied of the plague the previous evening and il l evening before that. With respect to the infection :j these clothes there could be no doubt ; the y were s p o t ted with blood, matter, and perspiration. After the Vice' Consul had made a proces verbal of the state in 1111' they were, I immersed them for 16 hours in a solu tioe° chloruret of soda at 0. 5 of the chlorometer of M. Gay to sac and when they were dry, each of us put on a . 11 08 next to the skin, and then the rest.of the clothing. j o spots still remained: but they were by no means so da r) we went to bed in this clothing, and wore it 1$ heel l ' o s The experiment was made eight days ago, and none of have experienced the least attack from it. ..ate " That the mode of disinfection adopted ha s pletely answered the intention, is, I think, proved jif , these facts in a positive manner. As each of us has e o f ferent constitution, this is another proof of the efficaci the solution. lorr°46 "We are going to make another attempt to-" 1 - • the by administering to persons attacked with the Ole g le chloruret of soda internally, and also by friction, l is fr on tions, Ecc. We dare not, however, hope for sacce o or e , this remedy as a medicine against a disorder 0 %S rible, and which for three years past has unceasingll _ vaged the population of Tripoli. i oer " To-morrow we shall also begin to perform loo t!. tiens, which, however, will present the greatest d 4 . 0,101; ties, in consequence of the fanaticism of the t h e 0. 0 though we have some hope that, sooner or l a ter/ le AO of chlorurets of oxide will be adopted by this Peq kof begin to abandon fatalism, and to follow the elAl li r Europeans by performing quarantine.
