(I ROM THE MORNING ADVERTISER.) It is scarcely necessary to refer our readers to the report of the proceedings at the Mansion-house and Hatton-garden on Saturday, in order to convince them that there is, and has been, for some time past, a regular and determined conspiracy against the Licensed Victuallers of the metropolis. The conspirators, to chat aeterize them generally, are low creatures, trim, having lost all character in society— not credible even on their ouths-s-and having been debarred from employing themselves in regular in dustry, because no orie would trust them in their ser vice, have taken to the infamous trade of common in( goners, and,—to the disgrace of the legal proles ' s i o n r ssussaided and abetted, not only by tome equally infamous Creatures, commonly known as petti fogging attof'reys, but yeri afforded hints by Ma gistrates for the Irvin successfsd pursuit of their Ills graceful traffic ! The regular proeeeslings, or rather the invariable convictions, t a certain Poliresoaire, which, for the present, shall be nameless, tell tales, which, were they as well known to Mr. Peel as they are to us aid to those who suffer by them, would be the means a paying the way fora suc cessor. But in truth there is ;3,;, end to the op pressions exercised on the ,Licewed US:Pallets. While the oaths of informers' whresses, interect4 in the result, are received at a certain PU.''ee.cliieep in preference to those of respectable persons, at others, the mere sound of music in the house of a Licensed Victualler will render them liable to an enormous fine. It is satisfactory, however, to find that amids.t ell these oppressions there are some who consider late hoots as no sign of irregularity, and who are determined, if the Licensed Victuallers will only co-operate with them, to pot a stop to the in-' famous trade which is now carried on at their ex pense. We allude especially to the Chief Magis trate of Ow City, who, while he has expressed sound opinion; oa ,the laws affecting the trade of Licensed Victuallers, and the conspiracy which has been organized against thern i shas also recommended them to call a public meeting on the snlject. We have often done so ourselves, without any effect having Leen produced ; but now that our advice has been sanctioned from a high quarter, we trust that it will prove gleams! ; for it is not only the immediate interest - of those whose capital is em barked in the trade to put a st&p to the nefarious practiee, hot their interest at all times, Their im mediate progss are not only reduced, but by their .eduction, their ossrn respectability and the value of their houses ; and, if, ;with such great causes of complaint, and with such an s4vocate as the Lord Mayor, they do not lay their grievances before the Legislature, the blame of their existence will not co& rest with themselves, but they will deserve ,to softer the oppressions under which they now labour. (7110 M, THE NEWS.) The ;:otar Ayotpm, it may come to pass, Is worked by steam, and lighted up with gas." STEAM.—There is to ogrown personal knowledge, now lodged in the Patent Ofiici,gt least one specifi cation (and probably more) for a Skein ?fiddle, that will prevent the action of the " Backwater," pa it is termed; by which the banks of our rivers are materially injured; anal tile application of Steam, to inland navigation generally, e,asgPtially retarded. If this dillien;!7 should be overcome, the result will be as impvant in a point of national. eeonom . y . „ as it may ulitinately pr 'e, in other respects, in referen t -43. to national defence. The whole business of the l different canals of the country isaatild be then effected by Steam, with n punctuality i-nd dirtrat:eh that would supersede a number of other conveyances ev i en for passengers. This consummation of the art of Steaiii Machinery, together with the success • of Steam Wheel-eurriages, would crowd into the existence of a man of our times such 'a succession of national improbements, and sneh a variety of intellectual varlets in the arts and comforts of life, as were never even approached by any other nation or age.* A Steam Engine has just been brought into opera tion, of forty horse power, in the novel purpose of draining lands in N ottinghamshire ; in which me; it has exceeded all the aculations of the parties combining to give it atrial; ansi similar expedients will be forthwith brought into play in the adjoining counties. This is rather remarkable, inasmuch as the Aviculturalists were found to lie the most prejudieed opponents of the ap plication of the powers of Steam generally.— The thousands of acres that may be Juts redeemed froth a coropaealiVe - tog, wool() be capaUe of sus taining another city in the Empire, equal in popula tion to the city of London; while the reduction Ca of being effected in horse provender, would place at ow di.losal another and equal resource • of human sustenane in that direction. We apprehend that, unfortunately for the human race, the far greater 14F4A of Steam are destined to be applied to purposes of dextmefion. Steam vessels of war will arm the Navy of England with a fearful and terlible power in future marine Pligauetnents : a superior know ledge of machinery, atid ' lnegns of construction : our inexhaustible mines cf coal and ironstone, purveying to gach a force with a facility and aboodance un known to other countries, will render our superiot jty . at sea tenfold, In cutting out vessels from the har: bones of our enemies, blfam will supply that certainty of rapid operation so ei.sas,lid to such enterprises. It is true a good shot from .a battery, striking such vessels on the paddle, would be like winging # .bird but as og.a broitcliide only could be exposed at tt time to such an 4egident; and as the paddles are made so as for one to hgvg no possible dependence on the other, such a shot coed( not materially retard the adventure. The great charaeteriktio of English naval enterprise, is its appalling boldness ; it does not temporise with danger; but proceeds direct to the carrying of its object with such a profligate contempt of consequences, as untigrves the enemy, by placing 1 * A woman died a few day s ago , i n the county of York, that was employed in her youth with the pack kon:s that , conveyel the rations .to thv military, during the rearliion. SPIRIT OP TIM LONDON JOURNALS. (MOM 1.41 E TIMES.) The official narrative of the Russian campaign, which appeared exclusively in the Times of Satur day last, is not, as it seems to us, a document well calculated for the object at which it aims. The writer endeavours to persuade the world that the Ulan of thestam4gn was successful in every quarter but in the aerie llts before Silistria; and that Russia, with the single exception of that one abandoned siege, gained all the advantages which she had pro posed to herself at an expense of only 18,000 or 20,000 soldiers killed and irrecoverably wounded. As for this loss of men, some light may be thrown upon the real value of the Russian statements by a comparison of the total casualties now admitted with the details of them publiShed successively in the offi cial bulletins, from which, save only on the occasion of storming Brailow, t here is nowhere acknowledged any serious loss, so as altogether to form an aggregate of half the amount confessed in the history by the Staff Officer. When he calculates the whole Russian army which undertook the invasion at 115,000 men, and the effective portion of it at 85,000, founding on this representation of so limited a force an apology for the ill-fortune which all Europe has concurred in ascribing to it, is the Staff Officer blind to the conclusion which most commentators will be apt to make upon his words—viz. that Rus sia did in fact bring forward the most effective army which she had it in her power to muster, and that doing her best, she failed ? For nearly four years the Imperial Government had been preparing for the contingency—we ought to say the certainty—of an invasion of Turkey. For at least that number of years it has been collecting and disposing the means of this deliberate attack : Russia was not surprised into it, nor hurried. She keew, likewise, that whatever opposition might spring up against her, throughout Europe, it would he more likely to mature.itielf in case of her operations being delayed or checkesi„.end her plans disappointed, than tinder .cirerimstanegk favourable to her arms. Not only victory, but immediate victory was, therefore to Russia an object of the very highest importance, that Europe might not him time to stir, until the overthrow of Turkey should be already timislied. If Russia failed, therefore, through inadequacy of means, the Staff Officer has raised the very question which he wishes to set at rest—a question upon the real adequacy of the power of Russia to accomplish more than she did actually execute in the course of the late campaign. Excuses founded on the na ture of the country, and the necessity of bringing supplies from home, are quite ridiculous in treating such a subject, because all the military world has long known that a Commissariat iti Turkey can do little or nothing; and if the Emperor Nicho!as un dertook the enterprise at all, he ought to have .stored and supplied his army accordingly. The *hole statement is a proof of great soreness on the part of Ross:a, to the wound inflicted upon her reputation for military power. It does not prove her to be more formidable than she was held to be before the Staff Officer took up his pen ; but, if any thing, in our opinion rather less so. It is also a proof, and this is the principal importance of the do cument, that Russia is not unwilling to listen to terms of peace, though she is reluctant to make the overture herself. Surely this is an opNetunity which the mediating Powers should seize with a:;j7 dity to put an end to a contest whose consequences may be more mischievous to the rest of Europe than to either of the contending parties. (FROli THE 31ORNING CHRONICLE) _ _ The union of Protestants and Catholics in Ire land, or rather the coeseent to consider the conces sion to the Catholics a stat,onal cause in which Pro- testants and Catholics are eqitagy interested, war- 1 rants us its entertaining the most sanpzine hopes of a speedy attainment of the object. 'the 'C'stholic in this manner commands Protestant property anti Pro testant protection; and Protestant property is re stored to its natural influence over Catholic de pendents. We perceive no ground of apprehension of disunion from separation of interests. The Pro testant in possession of property and the Cteholic have precisely the same interest in Emancipation, which, in proportion as it would improve the condi tion of the Catholic, would raise the value of Pro testant property. The class of Protestants without property, who are the ehief opponents of the Catho lics, from the very natural desire to preserve the mo nopoly which they now possess of office, arts in a different situation; but of those we make no Hee count, for they will always be fierce, irreclaimable enemies. But with respect to Protestants of pro perty, it is almost impossible that the union should not constantly increase in strength, for those Pro testant Noblemen and - Gentlemen who hang back must see that they thereby deprive themselves of all the ad►antage obtained by those who have joined the union. The means on which the Irish may al ways count with most confidence are such as should embarrass the Government. The love of country is a very convenient phrase for declamation. A Mi nister may occasionally possess the ambition of im proving his country, but it would be dangerous to count on such an accidental love 1 but we may ale ways count on his possessing in a very high degree the love of himself, and his considering those mea sures the most desirable which most contribute to his ease, and most ensure his permanency in offiee. The Doke of Wellington has not hitherto attempted to mystify the public about principles, the talent of exposition not being the forte of his Grace, and he has never concealed that the object of all measures ought. to be the existence of the Administration, and consequent y that all principles are equaVy good which are subservient to that end, and equally to be rejected the moment they are an ob stacle to it. Hence the best way to gain his Grace is to make it his interest to favour the Ca tholics. We trust, therefore, that the .union of Protestants and Catholics in Ireland will be supported, in the House of Commons, by the union of all upright and independent men in an un compromising opposition to the measures of Govern ment. The Duke of Wellington is not the man to give himself any unnecessary trouble, by persisting in a course a moment longer than it is the easiest. When it is the interest of every man in the country to have the queition settled—that is, when it is Ins own interest—he will hasten the taettlement, but not till then. It' the Irish allow him to stave off the settlement, the proper time will never come for settling it. Eut push hint hard, and lie will tie a most reasonable man. He will be as ready to oblige the Catholics as lie' was to oblige the Dise centers, caring just as much for the one as for the' other—that is, viewing both only with reference to himself. We trust that the Opposition this yeur will be of a character equal to the emergency. Last year, his Grace contrived some way or other to neutralize the leading men: His Glace is not deficient in a certain cunning ; and if dining with an opponent, or giving a living to his friend, or holding nut a prospect of benefit in a quarter likely to be hostile to him, would mollify oppo sition, lie would not scruple to have recourse to such expedients. He is evidently not the man to provoke opposition if he can mollify it by any means within his reach. Ott the other baud, the Opposi tion last year, were more jealous of each other than of the Administration. We never could understand the policy of punishing. Mr. Haekisean and his friends for their former political offences, by coolne s s 'towards them, when the hearty co-operation of till was required. We trust in the approaching:Sessieu all minor considerations will yield to the grand one, of compelling the Ministry to the eourse dictated by vii,dom and policy. There is no doubt an opposi tion to the claims of the Catholics in this .country among the ill-formed part of the community, still too large a portion in many places. It is diminish ng every flay, and would be no obstacle to any Ad ministration determined on carrying the question of Emancipation. No opposition, which is of a mere brute kind, which appeals only to the lowest pre judices, the most vulgar national antipathies, end which can find no leaders of talent and respectabi- Ji►y, can be of much consequence, There is not one man in the country opposed to the claims of the I Catholics of the least consequence in point of talents or political reputation. The Duke of New castle, Lord Kenyon, and Lord Winchel►ea, and Sir Thomas Lethbridge ! Pi-oh pudor—Mr. Peel is only on the game side because he cannot find a convenient excuse for abandoning it, and owes his consequence to his being the only man of even second-rate talents on that side. The uncultivated Englishman pos sesses iti a high degree that quality which Johnson estimated ko highly, the being a good hater. He hates the Irish, and hates the Catholics as much because they are Irish as because they are Catholics. This feeling is, however, confined to the ill-informed and ill-educated. That religion has less to do with the animosity than national causes may be inferred from the circumstance, that from the beginning of the connexion there has always been one cause of hatred or another, and• from there being no enmity to Catholics.in the Colonies. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) It is rumoured that a Russian Diplomatist is on his way to this country from St. Petcrsburgh, com missioned to lay before the Courts of London and the Tuileries the grounds upon which Nicholas is willing to enter into pacific negotiations with the Porte. This, if it be the case, augurs well. ri'ut why negOtiations should be going on in different he mispheres at one and the same time we do not exactly see the necessity of. Lord Heytesbury is still with the Emperor, while Mr. Stratford Can ning is in or about the Mediterranean ; and, consi dering that the Porte has no accredited agent either here or at the Court of France, it would seem that the new Russian Envoy must be coming rather on . a mission of inquiry than with any hope of entering into negotiations, which cannot, of course be pro ceeded in, still less concluded, in the absence of one of the two parties mainly to he affected by theta. In the mean time, if another report is to be credited, the Porte is likely to meet with a new Ally, from the opposite side of the Atlantic. We should re joice to see the American Government telling the Emperor Nicholas (and telling him in acts as well as words), " You may be at war with the Porte if you please ; but you shall not obstruct the highway of nations, or prevent our carrying on our commerce with a power with whom we are at peace." death within the struggle as the great emotain or the fray, to be appeased only by submission; or to be confronted and embraced, us in the same moment.

We have before named the more than possible contingency of England seizing upon Egypt, in a beak-up or Tntkey; or taking it as an equivalent for services rendered to that State; and the then easy project of mincer, mg the Red Sea with the Mediterranean for • Steamers ; and reducing the voyage to India to a Steam Packet Tour of about three weeks.

This was an action of trespass to try the question as to the liability of the occu piers of chambers in that part of LinpolWs-itni in which Stone-buildings is situate, to be rated towards the maintenance of the poor of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. The cause had been tried three 41;(.1 eii4;ll time yerdirt had peen found for the defendant, who was one of the ofrieers a the parish, and in that capacity had distrained for the amount of the rate, which had been clanged upon the plaintiff as an occupier of chambers in Stone b!iikthurs.

ABM 41. LILLE. Mr. Sergeant WILDE obtained a rule in the last term, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict obtained by him for 41. Os. 2d. should not be set aside on the ground that the post-mark on a let ter has been received as proof of its date, without any evidence having been given of the genuineness of such post-mark ; and also why a sugges►ion should not be entered on the record, to deprive the plaintiff of his costs, the debt being under 5/., which he should therefore have sued for in a Court of local jurisdiction at Boston,-where the defendant resided. . _ The COURT, after hearing Mr, Sergeant Josue against the rule, and Mr, Sergeant WILDE in reply, decided that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, bIANSION-NOVSV, • A licensed victualler waited upon the Loan MAYOR cm Saturday, to communicate to his Lord ship the particulars of a vile and most base conspi racy against the licensed victuallers of the metro polis and its environs, by which great sums of money had been already extorted from them, Some time ago. a great noise had Nell made about music ii permed, and Mr. Adolphus, the banister, had at the I,ondon Sessions intimated that if the informers were aware of the existence of the Act, which in flicted a penalty of 1001. upon a publican who should &low ; without a licence ; Instrumental music to be played in his house, those vermin would soon be at their dirty work, Scarcely had this information been given, when the publicans were beset upon all sides. If a sound of u piano -forte was heard in the upper part of a public-house, or even in Ora next house ; that was considered a sufficient ground for legal proeeedings. But the informers had, on oc• casions of this kind, called in the aid of some of the law, and instead of proceeding by information before a Magistrate fur penalties ; flung the pahlicena into 4410 Bench ; Whera the expellees soon became enortuouS, The LORD MAYOR expressed his surprise at this statement. Tie Act of Parliament was most grossly abused by this concert between informers and their satellites ? (helm attempt g, It; was made as th,9 PrP4Tble sttited ; kir th e b e tt er p revent i ng o f thefts and robberies," which were numerous in low pot-houses, where fiddles and drums were used for the purpose of encouraging drunkenness; and never was meant to apply to such cases tEs f9ig4 casually occur in respeatable houses of public entertainment. The applicant said that in one instance, which occurred a day or two ago, a licensed victuallcri who keeps a celebrated theatrical kouse, was served with a proeess ; In which the informer claimed, as penalties for 30 imputed violations of the Act, an immense sum. The paper ran thus :—" The plain tiff in this suit complains before the King himself, against the defendant ; that he to render to him the soul of ,toooi, of lawful money of Great Britain, which he owes to, and Imjnstly detains from him, for that whereas the said defendant, on the ?Qth of Oc tober, was ind*ed to the in divers (to wit, 36) sums of money, of 1001. each, being for feited by an Act,entitled,&c. &e., whereby, and by force of statute, an action hath accrued to plaintiff, to demand and have of the defendant the sum of 3 i 6001." The Loan MAYOR said, •he never heard of such • an instance of outrageous impudence. The applicant had to mention one thing which showed the nature of the conspiracy between the nformer and the low pettifogger. The pablican ent an attorney to the fellow who brought the ac tion in the case above alluded to, and the informer's friend said, " We'll give up the eq4., a@ ypw client is 4 P°°l' with a 41refimily, if you give us 4/., and 6i. costs," A compromise of 3,600/. for 101. This proposal was rejected, and the publican was determined. if the plaintiff dared to go into Coen, to defend it hirpSelf• f j pip . g% the most atrocious ption. The 1..0f.,pR1A-fot asked whether many pnblicans had beep induced to accept of those terms of com promise ?--rfhp applicant replied, that ipwards of ISO° actions had, to his knowledge, berm hrought, and he - thought- that 200 of those had been compro mised. In some instances 20!. ttnd, even 00?, had been given to get out of the serape, - The Ltotp IVI9/011. said, that if it were thought that he could be of any service, under circumstances of this kind he woldd rrio4t readily eacrt himself to prevent the gross-imposition practised. His - Lord ship most strongly . recommen44 the Licensed Vic tpallers to call a meeting, and agree to apply to M. Peil upon the subject : • It appears that in the ease specified, a piano-forte, which the licensed victualler kept in one of the upper }pours for his children, bad beep removed for tem porary convenience to the co'ee-rootn, where it re mained ‘vithopt having been touched by env person s The appearrp,:e of •it w as, litiwever, trope enpoet 19r the Informer, 1 14 330 -1:47 5- 4 1 Pili,T , Mr. He!sham, a surgeon in Whitechapel-road,ac companied by his assistant, on Saturday waited on tl.o Magistrate for the purpose of swearing an affi. tlavit t to lay before the fjolpmigisionets of taninfi- A few fi,kys up ; a peilpp . of low stature entered 81r, lielsharips shop, and complaining of a violent complaint iti'his boWels, and a nausea in his mouth,: 1114P504 to be supplied' with a bottle of soda-.
