.tes who throng round him, and who, if he succeed, .11 set up a joyous yell of triumph throughout the whole Tory camp. Can we, Reformerg, min&e our cheers with their corrupted atmosphere—with them " Vhose breath we hate As reek of the rotten fens ?" What Sir Francis has been is notYng to do with the question. " Let by-bones he by-Jones." There is the body of Sir Francis Burdett ; but the spirit has departed. We may believe any thing if we believe that copal mortuurn to be a Reformer. It would prove that transubstantiation in politics is at least no miracle. The '' unclean herd" of the Dawsons, Crokels, and Castlereaghs have entered into the decayed body—have tal:en possession of it, and will hurry it down the steep hill of decliniii senility into the sea of oblivion. Re formers, it is them w how you oppose, when you op pose Sir Francis Burdett. Ile is merely their incor porate epiphany. Away with pernicious tempering with your great cause, by childish reference to the past. It is with the present you have alone to do. The election of Burdett would push backward the cause of Reform for seven years. So vital an interest as yours is not to be sacrificed to the mawkish romance of sen timental compliment. It is what Sir Francis has done which renders what he is now c:oing and about to do mote dangerous. Take care that you are not stabbed! by Tor) ism under the insidious cloak of old alliance in Reform.—Morning Advertiser. The Ministers and their organs of the revolutionary faction have received a cruel- blow from the decision come to by the House of Lords last Friday. The Peers have postponed the further consideration, that is to say, the committal, of the Irish " Municipal" Bill, to the 9th day of June. The Ministers, there fore, are thrown into a frenzy of rage and disappoint ment at this precaution of the Upper House of Par liament" against being trepanned into a premature af firmative or negative upon a measure with regard to which their Lordships wisely determine that they cannot legislate otherwise than in the dark, if they fail to treat it as a portion of the whole system of po licy affecting the relations of Church and State in Ireland, on which both Houses of Parliament have been invited to deliberate by his Majesty's speech from the throne. To any mind not utterly distorted by passion, we can conceive no proposition more self evident than this—that if three measures be pro posed for any country, all bearing unquestionably and forcibly, whether more or less directly it mat ters not, upon the same great branch of the pub lic interests, no body of individuals who are not parties to the framing of such measures can safely form a judgment as to the merits of any one of them without being made simultaneously cognizant of at least the more important provisions which each of all three is to consist of. Is it not so plain as al most to defy explanation, that the working of any one of a series of general laws may be so assisted or so im peded, but at any rate in one way or another so essen tially modified by others which will have to operate upon the same people, as to render it a matter of down right necessity that those whose duty it becomes to consult upon the justice and expediency of such laws should, before they pass a final vote upon the sub ject of them, be enabled to examine what their effects are likely to be relatively towards each other, as an in dispensable means of even conjecturing what will be their collective operation. The House of Lords, therefore have acted with the sagacity of experienced statesmen in requiring that they shall have the proper materials for legislation submitted to them ere they pronounce an irrevocable judgment. Nor has the spirit manifested by the Duke of Wellington, who moved the postponement of the Municipal Bill, or by Lord Fitzgerald, who en tered more largely and very ably into the argument founded on the difference between the actual position of the House of Lords at this moment and that wherein they stood when last year's Bill was sent up to them, been such as to provoke the slightest impulse of just anger at the course adopted by their Lordships, or of distrust as to the sincerity of their views. The Noble Duke declared his anxious wish to find in the other Bills now before the House of Commons some materials for a final agreement between the Lords and that As sembly on the policy to be pursued towards the Irish Church. Lord Fitzgerald affirmed his own deep anxiety to see at the proper time, under fitting circum stances, and on safe and solid principles, a system of local government framed and rendered applicable to Ireland. Why should such assurances as these, from quarters so respectable, be received with sullenness, or produce a spirit of revengeful violence in honest po litical opponents ? Yet, what was the language of Lord Melbourne is reply to the Duke of Wellington ? It was neither constitutional nor honest language. It was that of a fierce and desperate revolutionist. It was a broad threat that the House of Commons should be instigated by him and his colleagues to put off " other " measures, if their Lordships, in the exer cise of their discretion and of their indubitable right as independent legislators, should do that which they deemed necessary for the guidance of their own judgment, by obtaining a full knowledge of the questions to be submitted to them previous to their recording their votes. The mode of action threatened by Lord Melbourne was avowedly one of hostile retal'a - tion by the Commons against the Lords. The Commons can plead for such a proce dure no intelligible argument, none but an illegitimate and immoral motive ; they require no delay for the sake of information--they have taken the initiative with their own measures, and are neither interrupted nor meddled with by ally other body in their treatment of them. The menace, therefore, held out by Lord Melbourne is one of open war I And what is the de scription of warfare against the House of Lords which he—himself a member of that legislative assembly— las ventured thus loudly to proclaim ? Why, on the understanding and showing o f hi s own part i sans , i t no less than that the supplies shall be stopped, and the whole machine of Government unhinged, if the Lords dare to fulfil their deliberative functions in a man ner not pleasing to the taste of the Noble Vis count and his friends, or unfavourable to their party objects ! This is somewhat of a new experiment on the part of a Fiist Lord of the Treasury. But doubts, it appears, have been cast upon the above con struction of the words delivered by Lord Melbourne in his first address to the house of Lords. In his se cond speech, a short one, which does not seem to have been reported, and after the energetic and power ful, thought off-hand attack, upon him and Lord Brougham by the Earl of Haddington, Lord Mel bourne at once drew in his horns, and attempted to shuffle, which he did mast awkwardly, out of the mire into which his former fury had betrayed him. Now, either he meant what he said in his *first reply to the Duke of Wellington, or he did not. If not, his threat was a paltry bravado, worthy of O'Connell o r some such low-bred bully ; but if , lie did intend actually to stop the supplies, what a Minister is this man for any empire not yet in the agonies of revolution i Lord John Russell, from what passed in the House of Com mons, would appear to translate the expression of his colleague; the Prime Mini s ter, i n t o a so f ter significa tion titan that affixed to them by M r . Joseph Hume, whose dreams all smack of money. The former of those two high authorities will have it, that the Irish Church Bill is the sufferer about to be " hung up" by the House of Commons, instead of the public treasury. His Lordship is said to have pledged himself for Lord Morpeth, that the Irish Secretary was quite-willing to sacrifice his "improved" tithe measure, for the sake of glutting their joint re venge upon the Peers, by a delay of the second read ing of that Bill until the 9th of June. Well, then, what will happen ? Why, as the Lords have wisely and providently called for such aid as the Irish Church Bill might afford them to assist their deliberations upon the Municipal Bill, they obviously owe it to themselves and to Ireland, in the Event of such assistance being denied them, on the day appointed for the committal of the Corporation Bill, to postpone the latter measure from the 9th of June to that clay six months--viz., the 9th day of December. If the collision be really me ditated by these blind and unprincipled Ministers, let them force it " an they choose - -but let the act be theirs. The people of England will not be long in measuripi,x, ,out to them the retributio n w hi c h th e y will have sir'iriatpt:parned. As for the silly allega timt.oeUrWifit'iatigliannt , that there is no more eon nexrdn:, betiveen this -11 ill for poperizing the Cor piitatiOnsi off..lielaneii-0 that now in the House of pairperizing and then subverting ~j ~ ~ 1%: +A o , e Church of Ireland, than there exists between either and a Railway Bill, it was briefly disposed of, and with edifyina-clearness, by Lord Haddington, from whose speech we subjoin a pointed and striking pas sage. Indeed, it is only in such times as these that such a mixture of effrontery and folly could he heard of as the assertion that there is no relationship be tween two laws of which the common tendency is to s!rengthen the hands of those who acknowledge for their one paramount object the destruction of the Pro testant Church : " The Noble and Learned Lord had said, that there was no more connexion between the Bill before the House and the two other Bills which were in progress in the Commons than between any of them and any road, or canal, or railway Bill. It only showed to what shifts men of ingenious minds were driven when they resorted to such an argument as that. Did this question bear on the question of the Irish Church ? All the friends of the Irish Church conceived that this question bore strongly upon that question. So, too, said all the ene mies of the Irish Church. All those who asserted that if there was to be happiness or justice for the people of Ire land with a Parliament deliberating in Great Britain, as serted that the only chance for it depended upon the total abolition of the Tithe system, and upon a public declaration by the Legislature that no man should contribute to the support of the Church of England who was not a member of it. In a word, they joined themselves with the Volun taries, and having done this, they said, Give us this mea sure of Municipal Reform, and we will no longer agitate for the Repeal of the Union.' Nay, they were willing to take instalment after instalment, provided that each instal ment which they took was aimed at the destruction of the Protestant Church. They declared, moreover, that though they might take what they wanted by instalments, they would not, on gaining one instalment, be content without gaining all the rest. They declared over and over again, Give us this Bill of Corporation Reform, and then see whether we will not get afterwards all we want.' "—Time,. Some of the Radical prints have been chuckling at what they choose to term the diminished majority of Conservative Peers on the Municipal Bill last Friday. Diminished majority ! Why, what would they have ? Do they want more beating than was administered to them by a majority of 77 Lords ?—almost equal to three-fourths of the Whig Peers who voted, includ ing their 7 Whig-manufactured Bishops ? We can tell the Radical gigglers, however, that it was by a mere concurrence of accidents they were debarred the comfort of a defeat somewhat more signal in point of numbers than that of which they complain. The fol lowing authentic enumeration of the names of Peers who had given in their proxies against the Bill since they first became acquainted with its provisions, Lut who were omitted in the list by the illness, absence, or oversight of the Noble Lords to whom the proxies had been intrusted, will show that the totel majority ought to have been 88, instead of 77, namely—Mar guises Ely, Exeter ; Earls Warwick, Belmore, Ennis killen, Farnham, Munster ; Viscount Doneraile ; Bishop Oxford; Barons Skelmersdale, De L'lsle. It thus appears that 11 votes decidedly Conservative were lost through pure mischance on the division. Be sides which, it is right to be known that the sons of two deceased Peers of Lord Grey's creation, viz.,—Lords Dunmore and De Sumarez—voted against the Go. vernment on the last occasion. So much for re-action among the Lords.—Times. We never had any sympathy with Radicals or Ra dicalism, but we never despised the • old -Radicalism, as we do the ridiculous coxcombry of the present Radical set to which Mr. Temple Leader belongs. The old Radicalism was a very rude, but still a re spectable, sort of erroneousness. It was a bold, blunt, intelligible thing ; it was professed by men who were thoroughly in earnest, and who manifested along with their short-sighted violence in politics a sound healthy English feeling in other matters. They never teazed the public with the paltry prate of political dandyism. They did not talk Frenchified philosophy in a bastard lingo, which is neither French nor English, but a sort of pedantic cockney ism, fit only for the literary ladies of. Bishopsgate street Within. The old Radicals were to be op posed for their errors, and hated for their obstinacy and violence, but, apart from their politics, they were by no means contemptible. We felt that they were our countrymen—that they had national sentiments like ourselves—and that if there was real and palpable danger to our religion and our laws, they and we would make common cause to repel the enemy. Not so with the wretched set of vulgar pamphleteering boobies who now call themselves " enlightened Radi cals," and who are straining all their powers of affecta tion to thrust upon us Mr. Temple Leader as a Mem ber for our City, in the room of Sir Francis Burdett. We do not see how a thorough downright Englishman can look at this knot of absurd and conceited pretenders with anything but contempt. They are eaten up with affectation, and in politics or out of politics they are equally un-English and contemptible. There is no hope of such people. " Foppery," said that sound British philosopher Johnson, " is never cured. It is the bad stamina of the mind, which, like those of the body, are never rectified : once a coxcomb, and always a coxcomb." Such are the " enlightened Radicals" of the present day. In all their nauseous and nasty writings, of which magazines, reviews, and self-reported speeches contain such a tiresome and offensive abund ance, we have never met with one generous sentiment or one energetic thought. Their utmost success, and to that but a very few of them reach—is in a certain small art of ridicule. As scoffers at fidelity in matters • of religion, and generous feelings in matters of politics, they may claim a sort of eminence, but this " bad eminence" is all of which they can boast. Their or dinary political talk and writing consits of a mere jar gon of affected terms. In the use of these one follows another in vile and vulgar imitation, and the end of all is that, in their opinion, they alone understand the science of Government, and therefore they alone shall pronounce upon what terms the liberty of Britons shall be enjoyed. The grand pharos of this sect of new-(angled Radicals is Sir William Molesworth's Review, and the next light, which makes amends for its lesser magnitude by its more frequent appear ance, is the Examiner newspaper. The latter we hold to be rather the cleverer of the two in its small way, and we have been a good deal amused with its pe culiar jerking and spark-emitting vigour in yester day's appearance. If Mr. Leader be not Member for Westminster it will be no fault of the Examiner, which not , only says the best it can for him, but brings forward all the " enlighted" argumenta tion and Liberal lies which the Chronicle of the preceding week had furnished in the cause of cox combry and the Westminster Rump. Our weekly wit is particularly delighted with something which Mr. Grote has said about Mr. Leader, and vows that the saying of this wise man of the East " states with great clearness the true nature of the contest." Now this statement of great clearness, is a good illustration of what we have been saying about the affected and (to us) unintelligible jargon of that set of coxcombs to which Mr. Leader and Mr. Grote both belong. " The broad distinction," says the latter of these personages, " between Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Leader is, that Mr. Leader is an advocate of the onward princi ples of good and cheap Government, while Sir Francis Burdett is an advocate of stationary principles, the adherent of the Tory faction. Between such men no genuine Reformer can hesitate for a moment." Divesting this sentence of its feebly rancorous epithets of abuse, Mr. Grote's " great clearness" upon " the true nature of the contest" comes to this, that Mr. Leader is an advocate of the " onward principles" of Government, while Sir Francis Burdett is the advocate of "stationary principles." Now, we would very re spectfully ask, in the name of common sense, and of common English, what is the meaning of this ? " Onward principles"—onward fiddlestick ! We could understand the onward principles of a coachhorse, and very much approve of them, but what is to be made of the onward principles of a Government ? The business of Government is, we humbly submit, to hold in and restrain the ratural tendency of man kind to excess, rather than either to push or to drag for ward. But, after all, what sicnifies a metaphor ? Is it to be seriously told the electors of Westminster that Mr. Leader should be the man of their choice be cause he is for " onward principles ?" Is it upon the strength of nonsensical jargon like this that men of common sense are to turn their backs upon Sir F. Burdett, who tells them plainly that he is for the main tenance and improvement of the existing institutions of the country ? The phrase " stationary principles," of which the enlightened Mr. Grote, patted on the hack by the no less enlightened Examiner, assures us Sir F. Burdett is the advocate, is scarcely more in telligible than the other. We really cannot tell what " stationary principles" may happen to mean, un less it be the principles of that very enlightened personage, Sir John Key, which were so trium phantly displayed in the cause of bad politics at the Mansion House and bad paper to Iris Majesty's Sta tionary office. Perhaps the Radicals have a right to he generous with Sir John Key's principles, as they arc all their own ; but we would recommend Mr. Grote to bestow them upon some one that they would fit better than Sir F. Burdett. If Mr. Grote means by the use of such affected language that Sir F. Burdett is opposed to those sentiments in favour of practical im provement which were wowed and acted upon by Sir Robert Peel during his brief Adicinistration in 1835, lie means to convey that which is not true. The address of Sir F. Burdett is plainly a declaration in favour of im provement, but it is as plainly a declaration that he is against any more fundamental changes in the nature of the Legislative power or Executive Government— that he is determined to support the Protestant Constitution of Great Britain against the Popish and Infidel foes who now assail it, backed by the united force of beggary and blackguardism. We quite agree that the Westminster contest is a contest not merely between two individual men, but between great prin ciples, and the most powerful sentiments which con nect themselves with politics. We consider it a con test between the old English principle of upholding a Protestant King, a Protestant Church, and a tripartite Legislature of King, Lords, and Commons, and the new-fangled principle of considering the King a mere formality, the Church a nuisance, and the absolute power of the House of Commons the best government for the British empire. We consider it a contest be tween national and manly British sentiment and the crude cosmopolitan conceit of as heartless a crew of speculators as ever crawled and wriggled in the dust and rubbish of a by-gone revolution.—Morn. Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Mar 6. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TILE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF NORWICH. This was an information flied at the instance of Mr. Bignold, one of the members of the Corporation of Nor- Wich, alleging that the Corporation intended to divert their funds from corporate purposes, and praying an injunction to restrain the Treasurer of the borough from making any payments for those purposes. To this information the de fendants put. in a general demurrer, which was allowed by the Master of the Rolls, and against that decision the re lator appealed. Sir W. FOLLETT supported the appeal. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was heard on the part of the Corporation. Mr. JACOB was about to follow on the satne side, when his Lordship rose, at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCELLOR'SCOURT, Mir 6. PRICE V. DEIVIIURST. This cause stood for judgment this morning. A person named Henry Seaton and his wife formerly lived in the Danish Island of St. Croix. They there made a joint will, as by the Danish law they were enabled to do, under which their four children, a son and three daughters, were interested. They afterwards came to this country, where Mr. Seaton died, having made a will which was proved here, appointing Mrs. Seaton sole executrix. Mrs. Seaton then died, having made a will, leaving her property to two of her daughters, Mrs. Hennesy and Mrs. Price, whom she appointed as her executrixes. This will was also proved in England. But part of her property being out upon a mortgage at St. Croix, Mr. Dewhurst, who was the husband of the third daughter, and other members of the family there, appointed themselves according to the forms of the Danish law a Dealing Court, analogous to the Preroga tive Court here, and thereby obtained a species of Danish probate, and formed themselves into a tribunal to deal with the property of Mrs. Seaton. These persons, in des d it e of the English probate, adjudicated the matter of distri bution in their own way, giving themselves a share. Mr. Price appealed from the decision of this Court of Dealing to the Supreme Court at Copenhagen, and the appeal was still pending. Meantime, Mr. Dewhurst came to this country, whereupon the Bill was filed against him for the usual amount of the personal property which he had re ceived under colour of the proceedings of St. Croix. His Honour decided that, so far as the foreign judg ment tended to give a beneficial interest to those parties it was fraudulent and void. He should therefore decree the account, with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, HAY 6. THE KING V. MUNTZE, PARE, PEARSE, AND FIIOWD. Sir W. FOLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the de fendants for a riot committed by them in a church. The Court granted him a rule to show cause. IN RE ASTON UNION. Mr. CtituroN moved for a rule to show cause why an information, in the nature of a quo warranto, should not be issued to eighteen persons, calling on them to show by what authority they claimed to exercise the office of guardians of the poor of the Aston Union. This Union was extremely extensive, and the Poor-law Commissioners had allotted to the parish of Aston eighteen guardians, to Kirkton one, to Latton Coldfield four, and to \Vishaw one. It was part of the regulations respecting the election of Guardians, that the voting papers should be left with the resident rate payers who had paid their rates. The voting papers were, however, left indiscriminately with all persons, whether they had paid Union-rates or not. The Learned Counsel referred to some old authorities, to show that a quo war ranto would lie in a case like the present.—Rule refused. BAIL COURT. CLOSE V. PARKE. Mr. CIIILTON moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of distringas should not issue against the defendant, notwithstanding service of the writ of summons had not been effected. The transaction nut of which the action arose occurred in 1834, and since then the defendant had remained in concealment, so that the preliminary process could not be served on him. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE asked for what the action had been brought? Mr. CIIILTON replied that the cause of action was a criminal conversation which the defendant had with the plaintiff's wife. After some further observations between the Court and the Counsel a conditional rule was granted. CCURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT 6. RE DUFAUR. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD showed cause against a Rule Nisi, obtained on a former day by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, calling on Mr. Dufaur to deliver up to the legal represen tative of the late Mr. Day all deeds, papers, and other do cuments relating to Mr. Day's affairs, and which had come into Mr. Dufaur's possession as Mr. Day's attorney, toge ther with a sum of three thousand pounds, which had been placed in Mr. Dufaur's hands, for the purpose of investing the same in sufficient securities, at interest. The condi tional rule had been obtained at the instance of Mr. John Simpson, the son of one of the executors named in Mr. Day's will, and Mr. Simpson acted only as administrator pendente lite, a suite having been instituted in the Eccle siastical Court to determine the fact as to which of several papers were entitled to probate. Mr. Sergeant WILDE supported the Rule. The COURT ordered that the deeds and papers of Mr. Day, with the three thousand pounds in the hands of Mr. Dufaur, should be lodged in the hands of the prothonotary, and that a complete account should be delivered in within a month, on the understanding that Mr. Dufaur's costs, when , ascertained, should be paid, any indemnity being given that the prothonotary might think fit. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MA r 8. ROBINS V BRIDGE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the expenses incurred by him in attending at the Assizes as a witness as a cause in which he had been subpoenaed by the defendant, who was the Attorney. The question was whe ther an attorney is prima facie liable to a witness whom he has subpoenaed for the expenses incurred by the witness in attending under that subpoena. The point was partly ar gued this day week by Mr. Earl in showing cause against a rule to set aside the verdict for the defendant, and enter a non-suit. The arguments were this day resumed when— The COURT said that as the question was one of very great importance to the profession, and as the point had then for the, first time expresOy arisen, they wished to take time to consider of their judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. Mr. Evans, the owner of the extensive furnishin g iron mongery warehouse, No. 40, Ludgate-hill, stated to the LORD MAyott, as a caution to the public,. the pa r ti cu l ars of a robbery com m itt e d upon th a t p a rt of his establishment. On Friday laq a man of gentleman-like appearance pur chased at the : ivarehouse a set of tea-trays, a set of knives and forks, and some other articles, to the amount of about 171., and desired the shopman to send the goods to No. 3, York-road, Waterloo-road, with a bill and receipt, stating at the same time, of course, that the porter should receive the money upon delivery. The shopman was more strongly induced by the peculiar name of the customer, as well as by his knowledge of the neighbourhood to which the direction was given, so order the man to bring back money or goods. The porter, upon taking the articles to the house, was ad mitted, and, at the gentleman's request, consented to accom pany him to the booking office, as the goods were to go to the country. When they had walked some distance, the cus tomer said, Oh, I believe the office is some distance, and I will not trouble you further." A cab was then called, and the goods were put into it. " Now, have you got the change of 201. on Messrs. Coutts's bank to hand over to me ?" " No, Sir," replied the man, " for I brought no change with me." " Good God ! what, no change, and I in such a hurry ; then take this check to Coutts's at once, and take the change to the York-road ;" putting a cheek, purporting to be drawn by a Mr. Parker in favour of Mr. Howard, for 201. upon Coutts. The porter, who was but a spooney, took the check, allowed the customer to drive off in the cab, and by the time the former learned that the payinent was a humbug, the goods were probably deposited in a marine store shop. GUILDHALL. A young man named Abraham Samuels, was charged with having committed an impudent theft at noon-day. The prisoner, who had been before convicted, made no defence. Mr. Davenport was bound over, with the other witnesses, to prosecute the charge at the Old Bailey. MARLBOROUGff-STREET. Mr. Spencer, tobacconist, of 7, Saville-place, was charged with an assault on a boy named CaHingham. A person who witnessed the assault said the defendant took the boy up and threw him violently upon the pavement. When the boy got up be (Mr. Spencer) struck him with his hand, and by accident knocked one of his eyes out of the socket. The eye was dressed by Mr. Alexander, a surgeon, and it was stated to be not unlikely that the boy would be deprived of the sight of it. Mr. Spencer said he saw the boy throw a piece of orange peel on the pavement before his door. He told him to remove it, in case of accident. The boy refused to do so in a most saucy manner, on which Mr. Spencer proceeded to chastise him, but without any inten tion of doing him an injury. A gentleman who was present confirmed Mr. Spencer's testimony. An arrangement was then made by him with the relations of the boy, and the warrant was discharged. MARYLEDONE. A smartly-dressed young woman named Lydia Moss, who carried in her arms a fine baby, about six months old, appeared before Mr. Shutt on Saturday, to answer the charge of having threatened to " do" for her lord and mas ter, an ugly little old man, who obtains a living as a " trans lator," not of languages, but of boots and shoes, in that beautiful and sequestered spot, Lisson-grove, North. Mr. SHUTT (to complainant)--Now, what have you to say against your wife? Complainant—Oh, dear me, your Worship, it's quite impossible that I can live with her, but I wouldn't hurt a hair of her head for the world, so if you'll just be kind enough to divorce us in a lawful and re gular way, I shall feel much obliged. Mr. SHUTT (smiling)—l can do nothing of the sort for you ; and if you are desirous of obtaining a divorce you must apply to another Court. What has she done to cause you to bring her here ? Complainant—She threatens my life, Sir ; and it was only last Wednesday night that she, all on a sudden, jumped bolt upright in the bed, while I was putting on a clean nightcap, and swore she'd split my thick good-for-nothing skull. Mr. SHUTT—What's the quarrel between you about? Complainant (with much apparent emotion)—You see that babby that she's got in her arms, don't you, Sir ? Mr. SHuTT—Certainly I do. Complainant (gravely ) — Then that's the pint I want to come to—the babby's none of mine. It ain't a bit like me, and I knows who it belongs to. Defendant (her eyes flashing fire)—Not your's, eh ? There now, look at it, and then say so if you can. (The defendant here held up in her arms the little innocent, which certainly bore no greater degree of resemblance to the aged complainant than a ringtailed monkey does to a giraffe.) Mr. SHUTT (to the defendant)—There seems to be a very great difference between your age and that of your husband. How old are you ?—Defendant--I atu 28 years old, your Worship, and he's above 60. I've always kept true to him notwithstanding, but he has taken it into his head that this sweet little dear is not his, and wants me to saddle it upon a married gentleman, who has nothing to do with it at all. The warrant was dismissed. WORSHIP_ STREET. On Saturday James Kerrison, a bricklayer, who was re manded last week on charges of plundering houses to which he obtained access on the pretence of having been em ployed by the landlords to repair them, was brought up for re-examination. Three fresh charges were now brought forward. Mr. Lloyd, of Shoreditch, proved that on Good Friday last the prisoner went to three of his houses, situate in Vir ginia -row, Bethnal-green, stating that he had been sent to repair the roofs, and haring stripped the lead, tic., from them, he left them exposed to the weather. • Another complainant had had a house in Charles-square, Hoxton, stripped of the lead about two months since ; and the third, a gentleman resident in the city, complained of a similar depredation by the prisoner upwards of thirteen months ago upon property belonging to him. The damage done to the buildings, p in all these cases, was of more serious consequence than the amount of property actually stolen. Mr. BROUGHTON ordered the depositions to be taken in the cases already before him, and then remanded the pri soner. THAMES-OFFICE. Edwaal Payne, the master of the Yarrow, a steam vessel belonging to the Nelson Towing Company, appeared to answer a complaint under the 80th section of the Water man's Act, made by Messrs. Mangles and Abbott, the ship-chandlers, for running foul of a lug-boat, containing fifteen barrels of turpentine, and damaging it to the amount of five pounds. A few days ago a waterman named Yates was in his wherry towing the lug-boat up the river, and the Yarrow was behind, towing up the schooner Maly. When nearly abreast of the pauper ship at Wapping, the steamer ran foul of the lug-boat, and struck her on the starboard quarter of the stern-post, breaking the knee sup porting it, which caused the lug-boat to deviate from the right course, and forced her stem on against a brig lying at anchor which nearly sunk her. The man in the lug boat kept her afloat by throwing some of the tar-barrels forward until she was got ashore. Yates, the waterman, who was towing the lug-boat, attributed the accident to carelessness on the part of Payne, and said their was plenty of room for the steamer to have gone to the south ward, and to have avoided the accident.
