It is impossible to conceal the fact—that in Ireland as well as in England, " public opinion," while advancing in the cause of Reform, and strengthened in its progress by the events of the new Parliament, is nevertheless unhinged by the different sentiments that have been recently expressed as to the conduct of the present Government. The Tories in this country are alive to the circumstance ever since the delivery of Lord John Russell's speech in reply to Mr. Wakley at the commencement of the Session •, and they regarded it as the sure indication of those growing dissensions amongst Reformers, which must ne cessarily injure their cause sooner or later. Many persons thought that speech a judicious one, calculated to appease the apprehensions of some honest Conservatives, who may be really alarmed at the apparent advance of change in our institutions ; and that it would be the means of gaining ever moderate men to the Ministerial measures in favour of Ireland. But they were mistaken. The faction in this country, and we fear in England, have but one object in view—the restoration of Tory power and ascendancy—and accordingly we find, that instead of giving credit to his Lordship for a line of policy, at once Conservative, constitutional, and judicious—such as some of them profess themselves to be in favour of—they are gloating over the prospect of soon seeing the Whigs become as unpo pular as themselves. It would be quite immaterial to the community at large what the speculations of the faction may be ; if the Liberals were united, and steadily pur sued that course of improvement which is consistent with those principles of Reform already established, and which is per fectly feasible at this moment, notwithstanding the strong op position in Parliament. But, unfortunately, many efficient and powerful friends of the people in Parliament, and con nected with the public press, are forwarding the views of the enemy, by pressing upon Government the consideration of questions, which certainly ought to be postponed until Ireland 'has had the benefit of equal laws with the sister country. It is impolitic, if not absurd, to talk of making the " Ballot" a Government question, before her Majesty's Ministers have carried those measures to which they stand pledged on behalf of this country: You profess to identify our cause with your own, and to regard us as part and parcel of England. And yet, before you have extended to us the advantages of that Corporate Reform which we aided you in obtaining, and which has continued as a remanet from one session to the other, these three years past, you begin to proclaim the necessity of vote by ballot and an extension of the franchise ; as if that neces sity, supposing it to be impera'ive and pressing, did not arise out of the opposition of a faction to the amelioration of this portion of the United Kingdom. It is confessed on all sides, that Ireland has, within the last four years, attracted the especial care and consideration of every Ministry that has undertaken the management of public affairs—that she has forced herself upon the attention of the Executive and the Le gislature—and that, in fact, she has advanced to a position ren dering it impossible for any statesman to continue at the helm, who is not prepared to remove some of the evils under which she has groaned for ages. Not only is all this manifest, but it is quite evident, that Corporate Reform, a settlement of the Tithe Question, and Poor Laws for Ireland—measures deemed essentially necessary for advancing the people of this country to something like a participation in the benefits of the British Constitution—have during the last two years stood in the way, and, as it were, obstructed the Legislature in the discharge of other duties to the empire at large. And because Govern ment keeping this policy steadily in view, do not outstep the progress of events, and put in her Majesty's speech, at ti .e commencement of this Session topics better suited to some future occasion, some of their most zealous and honest sup porters raise an outcry, divert public attention from objects cf paramount regard, and embarass the present Government in their endeavours to promote those objects. This surely is not the course by which the friends of the people can procure the greatest possible good for the greatest number of the commu nity. You may be assured that these sentiments are gaining ground among persons of intelligence and influence in this country, who care riot one jot for Whig or Tory farther than they promote our public good, but who regret to see the former impeded in the accomplishment of some utility to this part of the empire which the latter never contemplated. Let us have that measure of Reform which the Whigs only can give us in time to avert great evils, and we shall, as before, join you in seeking further blessings. Mr. Sharman Crawford has addressed a letter to the editor of the Wexford Independent, on the subject of landlord and tenant, which deserves the attention of some of our represen tatives. However impracticable the Hon. Gentleman has been himself as a legislator, no doubt can exist of his general ability, and disposition to serve his country ; and it is much to be regretted that he did not persevere, as a Member of Par liament, in obtaining such a law as he describes in the letter alluded to. The principle he lays down is—" That the Al mighty gave the soil to the creatures whom he placed upon it, to subsist themselves upon its produce by their labour • and that the monopoly of the soil cannot be vested in individuals as private property, except subject to this ordinance of the Almighty." The plan he suggested in support of this prin ciple, without trenching upon the rational rights and interest of the landlord, would greatly tend to abolish the exercise of a right, which has in some instances been productive of the most mischievous consequences. If it were possible for every landlord in Ireland to follow the example of Mr. Quin in the county of Wexford, the country should become almost a wil derness ; for Protestant tenants and husbandmen, cultivating the soil with their own hands, could not be found fur the tenth part of the lands—even though every Protestant was, like our primeval parents, to become a ploughman or a delver I The letter was properly addressed to the Wexford Independent, as well on account of the well-merited station of that publication amongst the provincial press of Ireland, as because Mr. Quin is not the only person entitled to land in that county, who has manifested a disposition to exterminate a class of Roman Catholics, who are not only as useful, but as respectable, arid much more independent members of society, than their lana i. lords. PUBLIC MEETINGS-VOTE BY On Wednesday a public meeting of the inhabitants, called by the Lord Provost, in consequence of a numerously signed requisition, was held in the large Waterloo Room, Edinburgh, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of Vote by Ballot.. - The Scotsman, speaking of this meeting, makes the follow ing amongst other observations : The meeting on Wednesday in favour of the Ballot, was, with the exceptien of the disturbance that was created after the material business had been finished, all that the best friends of the cause could wish. We never, at any public mee ing among the many which have lately been held in Edin, burgh, heard the sentiments of speakers more heartily cheered or resolutions more cordially acceded to. The presence of the Lord Provost, Sir James Gibson Craig, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, John Robison, Esq., and several of the Magistrates of Edinburgh, showed a hearty co-operation in the cause, which many hardly expected at present. Among those who had first suggested the demonstration, there were several who are partial to the other measures generally associated with the Ballot-- an Extension of the Suffrage, and the Repeal of the Septen nial Act. Believing that the Ballot was a question in which several who did not feel the necessity of these other measures, might join them, they unanimously agreed to restrict the ob ject of,the meeting to that subject alone, and to invite all the friends of the measure to a general demonstration in its favour, in which it was understood that nothing likely to be offensive to any branch of the Liberal party should he brought forward. How handsomely the invitation wat accepted, let the list of those present at the head of our report of the proceedings testify. Such being the state of things, we feel deep regret that even a small and very insignificant portion of our citizens should have met their cordial aad public-spirited co-pperation with an unmannerly rebuff. Three resolutions had been carried in the most effectual manner in which resolutions can be carried by a public meet ing, viz , by hearty and strenuous applause, which completely drowned any attempt at dissent, if any was made. After the 3d resolution was carried, an individual whose name we under stand to be Fraser, aderessed the meeting. He was quietly listened to, until he was heard distinctly to propose that an ex tension of the franchise should be petitioned for along with the , Ballot. This was out of order ; and the Lord Provost oh. I served, that the meeting having been called to petition ment for the Ballot, no other question could be entertained by it. From the vast preponderance of the mai mit ) , which passed the third resolution when the Lord Pre,vost put it to the meeting —a majority of about ni ne t o one - _ there cou ld be no doubt of the general feeling of the meetly ; and all that has been accomplished by the dissentients b - 35 been, that, by a singular happy device, they have manav,ed to put into the hands of the opponents of an extens i on o f the suffrage, a de claration against it, by an overwhelming majority, at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Edinburgh. There are some who will feel grateful for this service. GLASGOW.--A public meeting alsr ) was held at Glasgow, last Friday, for the purpose of enforci, i g the adoption of the Ballot. SUNDERLAND.--On the same day at Sunderland, there was a great meeting of the electors and . inhabitants of the borough of Sunderland, to petition Parliami 'nt for the Ballot.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships sat to-day for the purpose of hearing ap peals. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst, the Marquis of Headfort, and the Earl of Redes dale. MORRIS V. DAVIS. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, the arguments in which were only concluded a few days since. The principal question in the case was as to the legi timacy of the appellant, Mr. Morris. As long ago as 1788 Mr. Morris, who was at that time a surgeon of eminence, residing at Shrewsbury, married the mother of the appellant. Some time after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Morris separated, and the latter retired to a house of her own at Llanfair, where she lived in a state of adultery with one of her own servants, named Austin, and as was contended for by the respondent, who was the husband of the daughter of Mr. Morris, the result of that illicit inter course was the birth of the appellant. On behalf of the latter however, it was contended, that after the separation, Mr. Morris went frequently to see his wife, that upon one occasion he slept at her house, and it was, therefore to be presumed from that circumstance, that the appel lant was legitimate. Upon the case coming before Lord Eldon, that noble and learned Lord, in consequence of the great conflict of the evidence relative to the legitimacy of the appellant, directed an issue to try that question, and in the firstlinstance a verdict was given in favour of the appellant; upon a new trial being granted, however, a contrary decision was come to. Upon the part of the appellant this ver dict was contended to be erroneous, and a new trial was applied for and obtained; the result of which was, that the jury were discharged without coming to any verdict ; and upon au appli cation being made to Lord Lyndhurst, who was then Lord Chancellor, his Lordship intimated to the parties that it would be much better to have the whole question involved in the cause decided than to have a new trial ; upon which it was agreed that his Lordship should read over all the papers, and decide all the questions in litigation between the parties. Lord Lyndhurst, upon due consideration, decided against the appellant, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. The Lord Chancellor, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be, that the appellant had failed to prove that he was the legitimate son of Mr. Morris, and such being the case, he should move their Lordships to affirm the judgment appealed from, but, consider ing the lengthened litigation that had taken place, and the great doubts that had existed relative to the legitimacy of the appellant, in moving that affirmation, he should recom mend their Lordships to affirm the judgment without costs. Lord LYNDHURST, though he had attended most anx iously to the arguments of counsel, had heard nothing to induce him to alter the opinion he had formerly expressed. It was clear that up to Mr. Morris's death he was not aware of the birth of the appellant ; upon a rumour reaching him that such was the case he put the question to his wife, who positively denied that she had had a child ; this together with the circumstance of the secrecy attending the birth of the ap pellant, clearly showed to his Lordship that he was not the child of Mr. Morris, but that of the paramour of his wife. The judgment of the Court below was then ordered to be affirmed, but without costs. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) METCALF V. JONES. The plaintiff in this case having taken from the defendant the house No. 28, Gracechurch-street, in the early part of last year on lease, with a premium or fine of 1501., and at a rent of 1001. a-year, payable quarterly; fitted it up as an eating-house, but as the first two quarters' rent was not paid, the landlord (Jones), towards the end of the third quarter, put in a distress, and sold and caused to be removed from the premises the plaintiff's furniture, together with the plants and fixtures. It was for the injury sustained by the defendant's removal of the plant and fixtures the present action was brought. After the case had been gone into for some time, a disposi tion to settle it having appeared on both sides, a long conTer sation took place between the Chief Justice and the Counsel on both sides, in the course of which Mr. Serjeant BOMPAS said, that although his client was entitled to a verdict for the amount of premium of which he was deprived by the auinous way in which the defendant had dealt with his pro perty, and also for the profit of 20 per cent. upon his outlay, which he would have derived during the remainder of his term from the subletting of the premises, as be had fitted it up ; but he was willing to leave the amount of the verdict to the arbitration of the Court, if his Lordship would be so kind as to tte, : t as referee, whereby expense would be saved to the , party paying tne costs. At the suggestion of his Lordship a verdict was taken by consent in 1001. damages, subject to an order of the Court, that the damages, together with the costs, are to be paid upon the plaintiff's surrendering the lease and premises at Christmas next. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. PERJURY. —John Murray was indicted for wilful and cor rupt perjury, in an information sworn to by him before the Ma gistrates of Edmonton, against John Andey, the owner of a beer-shop, on the 9th of October last. —Not guilty. PERJ MY. —Joseph Davis was arraigned for a misdemeanour in having committed perjury—Not Guilty. NEW COURT. ( Before Sir C. MARSHALL and the COMMON SERGEANT.) Francis Mitchell was convicted of having, on the 4th of this month, stolen from Mr. Mackintosh, the conductor of the Great Western Railway, at Ealing, some pieces of wood, value 7s. The prisoner (who had an excellent character from his landlord), said he only took the wood to light his fire. The jury recommended him to mercy ; and the COMMON SERGEANT said he was inclined to let him off with a light punishment, but robberies of this kind were so frequent, the premises of the railways being necessarily so exposed, that it was requisite to make an example. CONSPIRACY.-Jacob Flesh, J. Jackson, and Julius Hero hoberg, were indicted for conspiring to obtain from George Whitbread a sextant, value 181. The case was likely to occupy the whole day. The cameo likeness of the Queen, exhibited wit the rich gold plate at the London Tavern, and considered a most striking likeness, was the performance of W. H. Davies, of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury. The Earl and Countess of Harewood have distri buted a large quantity of coals and flannel to the poor in the vicinity of Harewood House, their seat in Yorkshire. Power made his re-appearance in Rory 0' More last night, at the Adclphi, to a crowded and most laughter loving audience. Scribe, the celebrated French dramatic writer, is said to obtain an income of 5,0001. a year, from the nightly representation of his pieces throughout France.. The Marquis of Breadalbane is expected in Park lane, from Taymouth-castle, to attend the Chapter of the Or der of the Thistle, when his Lordship will be elected a knight. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at tended yesterday, for the first time, at the new palace as a member of her Majesty's most lion. Privy Council. The Royal Duke wore the full uniform of field-marshal, and went to the palace in his state chariot. His Royal Highness and Prince George are expected to revisit the Queen Dowager at St. Leonard's, at Christmas. _ _ _ OFFICIAL CORRECTNESS,--We havefoundamong our stamps of this week a sheet without any stamp upon it. As we should be subject to a heavy fine had we accidentally printed it, the neglect on the part of the Commissioners, who are aware of the consequences, must be unpardonable. This is not the first, second, or third time we have discovered a si milar negligence, and some years ago we discovered seven or eight newspaper sheets unstamped in one week's supply.— Bath Journal.—[A similar occurrence has happened more than once to us, and last week a sheet was discovered which had been stamped twice over. Correctness on the part of the officials in such a business is of vital importance, both as regards the interests of the Government and the safety of the press.—Kendal Mercury. _ _ Lord Finoall the new Lord-in-waiting on the Queen, vice the late Marquis of Queensberry, is in his 46th year. His Lordship's father was created a British peer in 1831. A strange marriage has taken place at Paris, be tween an Ambassador of a Northern Power and the daughter of a late Pacha of Weddin Oglou, who has been in disgrace for some years, and had fixed bis residence in the French capital. About nine o'clock yesterday morning a man about forty years of age, named Richard Lulu, residing at No. 2, Crescent Mews, Pond-place, Fulham-road, while sitting at breakfast, suddenly fell off his chair in a fit. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who promptly attended ; but on exa mination it was found that the vital spark had fled, and all attempts to restore animation proved unavailing. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. Mr. STONOR, the Catholic gentleman who con tested Oxfordshire with the Tories at the late election, has recently come into property of the value of 18,0001. per annum. Yesterday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, the greatest degree of alarm and consternation was excited in Farringdon.street, in consequence of a cab (the driver of which was evidently intoxicated) proceeding at a tremendous rate towards Blackfriars'-road. There were two prostitutes in the vehicle, which, at the top of Bride-lane, ran against and knocked down an elderly woman, named Morley, who not only received a compound fracture of the right arm, but was otherwise se riously bruised. The driver, notwithstanding the injury ho had caused, kept on at an increased rate, and at the foot of Blackfriars-bridge drove over a boy who was in the act of crcssing the road into Stamford-street. The ruffianly cabman, although closely pursued, contrived, by whipping his horse with all his might, to effect his escape. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Old Queen's Head tavern, Lower-rold, Islington, on the body of Charlotte Ayton, aged 18, an interesting girl, who drowned herself in the New River, under the following circumstances:—Robert Cane, N, No. 273, on Friday forenoon was on duty in Cole brook-row, Islingt on , w h en h e discovered the body of the de- I ceased lying at the bottom of the New River. Witness ob tained the drags, and the unfortunate young girl, was taken out. She was quite dead and stiff, but did not appear to have been in the water any length of time. Mrs. Harriet Miller, of No. 19, Soley-place, Pentonville, deposed that the de ceased had been in her service as nursery-maid for six weeks before her melancholy death. On Wednesday last she (de ceased) absconded from her situation, and witness never saw her again. By the Jury—The deceased was a very discreet girl, but incompetent to her duties, and on that account I had given her warning to quit. She had no male followers whilst with me. By the Coroner—The deceased was a girl of very sensitive feelings, and observed that when she left me she would not go home to be a burthen to her relations. I never observed that her mind was affected. I cannot assign any cause for her destroying herself.—Verdict, " Temporary de rangement." LA W INTELLIGENCE. VICE- CHAN CELL OR' COURT DEC.. 11. COSTA V. ALBLRTAZZT. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Costa against M. and Madame Albertazzi for a specific performance of a written agreement, to which a demurrer was filed. Mr. WIORAM stated that the plaintiff was not the cele brated conductor at the Opera-house, but a teacher of Italian music and singing, of the same name. The prayer of the bill was for a specific performance of an agreement entered into with this Mr. Costa by Madame Albertazzi's father, and afterwards ratified by her husband. The bill also sought for accounts of the profits made by Madame Albertazzi during certain periods of time, and the present demurrer only extended to one of these periods. It was, in general, not advisable, on account of the extreme diffi culty of that mode of pleading, to demur to part of a bill, and answer to the rest. Here, however, the periods in question seemed to be so distinguished and separated as to render it advisable to try that mode of defence. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the facts of the case. . The VICE-CHANCELLOR, without allowing Mr. Wilcock, who appeared in support of the bill, to proceed, overruled the demurrer, and ordcred the costs to be paid by the defendants. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dim 11. WALKER t). OWEN. In this case, which was not concluded yestenky when we went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages 2601.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—D2c. 11. DAWSON V. ORBELL. . This was an action brought by an appraiser at Romford, in Essex, to recover compensation for an assault committed against him by a horse-dealer of the same place. The plaintiff called a man who saw the parties conversing in the street in June List, and, having scarcely passed them, heard a blow struck, when, upon turning round, he saw Mr. Dawson's face bleeding. A surgeon was also called, who stated that he had attended the plaintiff for about a week, on account of the injury received, and that his charge for that attendance was two guineas.—The Jury found a ver dict for the plaintiff with 10/. damages. CRIMINAL COURT.-(MONDAY.) OLD COURT. Henry Knowles and Michael Harris, two young men who surrendered to their hail, were indicted for a conspiracy in attempting to defraud Mr. Thomas Cotterell, pawnbroker, of Oxford-street, of 10/., by offering in pledge a metal gilt watch, with forged marks of the Goldsmiths' Hall Com pany, the said watch being represented to be geld. The facts of this case have from time to time appeared in our Marylebone police reports. The system of fraud has been extensive) , carried on, and many pawnbrokers have been " taken in," the watches being so thickly gilt as to resist the usual test of aquafortis, which it was hardly considered necessary to apply, as the Goldsmiths' Hall mark—a crown and two figures—is generally considered sufficient guarantee of the cases being gold, and these stamps have been forged to an alarming extent. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Recorder sentenced Knowles to six months, and Harris to four months' imprisonment in the Penitentiary. The RECORDER said that it should go forth to the pub lic that there were many such watches in circulation. Adjourned at six o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday William Young was brought before Mr. LA ING, in the custody of Bayliss, the officer of this esta blishment, charged by Mr. William Bowles, landlord of the Three Pigeons and Star, Hatfield-street, St. Luke's, with having robbed him of a purse, containing Si. 10s. The prosecutor stated, after he had been robbed, the prisoner attempted to get away, and he was surrounded by a gang, and hustled about, and, on his way to the office, a fellow offered him 5/. not to appear against the prisoner. Mr. LAING ordered that the police constables of the va rious divisions, &c., should have a view of the prisoner, and he was remanded until Thursday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Fletcher, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Wil liams and Sowerby, silk-mercers, Oxford-street, was yester day chatged with having plundered his employers, and IVilliane 41fay, shoemaker, No. 10, Long-acre, was charged with having received the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Both prisoners were committed, but ordered to be brought up on a future day. MARYLEBONE. THE OMNIBUS NUISANCE.—SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE ON Two • FEMALES.—Yesterday John Tarrant and Samuel Miers, the driver and conductor of Bennett's Mile-end omnibus, No. 220, were charged before Mr. RAWLINSOM with the following aggravated outrages : Mrs. Louisa Davis, a highly respectable married woman, residing in Mitre -street, Aldgate, on the previous after noon, left home, accompanied by her sister-in-law, for the purpose of visiting a friend residing near the Wheatsheaf public-house in the Edgware road. They had proceeded us far as Leadeahall-street when the defendants hailed them, and the vehicle having stopped the conductor asked the complainant where she was going. She replied that they wanted to. be set down. at the Wheatsheaf in the above road ; upon which the conductor replied that it was all right, he was going there. Just at this moment a, gentleman who had heard what had passed stepped up to them and informed them that the defendants were deceiving her, as the vehicle did not run so far as the Edgeware-road, and advised them not to go by it ; upon which they were about to walk away, when both the defendants seized hold of them, and forcing them violently, against their will, into the omnibus, shut the door, and drove off. On arriving at the top of Oxford-street the vehicle stopped, and the conductor then opened the door and told them to get out, as they weregoing no further, at the same time demanding the fare. They refused to pay it unless taken to the place they wanted to go to ; whereupon both the defendants, after making use of the most disgusting language, shut the door, swearing that they should be locked in and not suffered to come out until the demand was satisfied. They were much alarmed at this ruffianly conduct, and, by dint of crying out, a policeman came up and released them, and by their desire called a cab for them, that they might proceed to their friend's house. The defendants, however, prevented them from getting into it,. and collected such a mob that their lives were in danger.. At length, with much difficulty, they escaped into a Pad dington omnibus, and proceeded on their journey. Mr. RA WLINSON fined Turrant, the driver, three pounds, and the conductor forty shillings, remarking that it was one of the most audacious outrages he had ever heard of. OLYMPIC THEATRE..--A new burletta, entitled The Ringdoves, was prodticed here last night with decided success. It is an amusing little piece, and was not only well w ritten, but exceedingly well acted by the whole dramatis. personae. The surerstructure on which this burletta is foun ded is slight enough to be stated in few words, and comprises only the embe,rrassments caused to an old uncle on the point of marriage, by his own repugnance to tell a nephew whom he loves of the step 'he is about to take, and the manoeuvres of the 'tatter to prevent the match, as soon as he hears of it. from another source, and learns that the lady is one towarri.s whom he also has conceived a tender attachment. This plot seems old enough, and has, in fact, no claim to original:sty ; hut it is so skilfully worked up in its minor incidentty and aided by a dialogue so rich in humour, that it kept the house in a continual glow of approbation. Mr. F. Matthews acted the old uncle, Sir Henry Ringdove, with great spirit ; and Mr. C. Matthews, as the lively, frolicksome, and good-natured nephew, seemed to play perfectly con amore. Mrs. Orger performed the part of Miss Longclackit, the aunt of the bride, a spinster who it constantly repeating that she is a woman of few words, but keeps up all the while so eternal a din with her tongue as to be voted a public nuisance by everybody around her. This lady always plays with rare judgment ; and although the part of Miss Longclackit is one hardly worthy of her powers, she made it more effective than it. would have been in any other hands. The curtain fell in the. midst of undiminished applause, and the piece was announced) for repetition item. con. _ _ _ MR.
