SPIRIT F THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times, with ludicrous gravity, asks of Lord Morpeth—" Does lie venture to allege than any civil discord, religious difference, or bitter animosit; on the part of Irish Protestants towards the Papists has ever broken out in such proceedings as extensive conspi racy, general massacre, bloody rebellion, and open • defiance of the laws ?" As the Protestants had the monopoly of both making and executing the laws, it is not very easy to see why they should have engaged in a " bloody rebellion and open defiance of the laws." The slave-owners of the Carolinas and Georgia, who have the monopoly of making and executing the laws against their negroes, do not engage in " Lloodv rebellion and opcn desance of the laws," though, like the Irish ascendancy of former days, not even satisfied %N . i h the laws, though made by themselves and in their own favour, they only observe them when convenient. History is full of conspiracies, but there is no instance of a tyrant conspiring against himself. Ma chiavel, who treats of every possible ground for con spiracy, never dreamt of mesa who had power in their own hands conspiring to overturn it, The law laid the Catholic prostrate at the feet of the Protestant, and the former felt that he existed in the land of his birth by sufferance rather than by right. He knew the law only as an•instrument of grinding oppression, for which it could always be invoked for punishment—it was power less to protect him. A Catholic durst not show his face in places frequented by Protestants in the north of Ireland thirty years ago ; his approach was the sig nal for insult. The Protestants did not need to en gage in an open defiance of the laws, but they did not allow to the poor Catholics the benefit of the laws such as they were ; for " wrecking," that is the destroying the houses of C at h o li cs , was an every day work. In the county of Armagh a determi natton was formed by the Orangemen to pursue the Catholics with relentless fury, so that bloodshed and robbery might at length drive them in their despair from the land of their birth. Many thousands of them fled for refuge to Scotland, and the Armagh suf ferers, who were kindly received in Glasgow and the towns in its neighbourhood, founded tile Irish colony, now so numerous, in the west of Scotland. The Ca tholics of France did not conspire against the revoca tion of the Edict of Nantz, which delivered over the Protestants to their tender mercies, any more than the Protestant ascendancy conspired against the Revolu tion of 1688, which created their power. It was the Jacobites who rebelled in 1715 and 1745, and not the adherents of the House of Hanover. The slaves in Algiers used occasionally to rebel against their masters ; but the masters, on reducing their re fractory slaves to order, were generally satisfied with impaling a certain number, and flogging and bastinadoing the remainder. So much for the miracle of the Times. The fetters of the Catholic have been broken, the law no longer enthrals him, it proclaims him in every respect the equal of the Pro testant. What then do the Tories want ? Do they wish, the law to remain a dead letter ? Do they wish to re-enact the penal laws ? What are 4C to infer from the following passage in the Times : Lord iNlorpetb, albeit not the wisest of Statesmen, has at least sense and Whiggery enough to be satisfied that the last 60 years have presented a series of indefatigable efforts on the part of the Irish Papists, or of a large and prepon derating portion of them, to intimidate the Legislature into such changes of the law ; or—if that should fail —to produce by force such changes, in defiance of toe law, as must altogether overturn the relations between protestant and Papist established by the Revolution of 1688---that is to say, transfer the Sovereignty of Ire land from the Protestant English to the native priestly and anti-English power. The successive attempts for this one paramount purpose have been adapted, with more or less skill and cunning, to the circumstances under which they were made. When England was strong and prosper ous, appeals were tendered to her compassion, with solemn assurances of every favour being received with gratitude and fulness of contentment by the Papists ; when England showed symptoms of weakness or distress, the method of working upon her was by threats or open violence. Eng land, proud in her conscious greatness, but credulous in pro portion as she is honest, has from time to time, so far as civil rights were concerned, raised the Irish Papist from the earth, and placed him on an entire level with the best and noblest of her own children. But the lessons which Euro pean history, confirmed by the experience of the 17th cen tury at horns, ought to have impressed in iron characters on the recollection of English Statesmen, were forgotten." Well, England, proud in her conscious greatness, has from time to time, so far as civil rights were con cerned, raised the Papist from the earth and placed him on an entire level with the best and noblest of her own children. And the Irish Catholics are only exer cising the rights of which they have been put in pos session. The best return they can make to England is to show how much they value their rights, by the zeal with which they exercise them. When they were slaves, when every brute of the ascendancy could trample on them with impunity, when the law was their enemy, it was exclusively administered by men still more hostile to them than the law, they conspired, they rebel led, they wished to shake off theyoke. Having at length achieved the victory of which they have cause to be proud, that placed them on a level with Protestants, they have no longer a motive for rebelling against the law—they are satisfied with its fair and impartial ad ministre tion. The only intelligible complaints of the Protestant ascendancy are, that the Government exe cutes the law in its true spirit, determined that reli gious creed shall no longer he a screen for injustice and oppression, and that as all Irishmen are equal in the eyes of the law, the men who are entrusted with its administration shall not use their authority to perpe tuate feuds and animosities that had their origin in a s t a t e o f t hi ngs wh i ch has no longer a legal' existence. The Legislature, by placing Catholics and Protestants on an equality, in effect declared that the past should be for2,ottcn. The Emanci pation Act amounted to a full and entire amnesty. Where are we to stop, if we are to ransack the past for causes of present animosity ? We, for our pact, look on the past history of Ireland neither through the spectacles of Mr. O'Connell nor those of the Orangemen. The misgovernment of Ireland for seven centuries is a proof of English weakness rather than of English injustice. The misfortunes of Ireland arc chiefly traceable to the inability of the Government to make a thorough conquest of the country, and to the consequent separation of English and Irish races, and .constant collisions and feuds between them. The Re formation added to the causes of strife, and the ex tinction of Tyrone's rebellion established for the first time the supremacy of the law over all Ireland ; but the law itself, being founded in injustice, operated as a bar to its efficacy. The law of 1829 for the first time gave all Irishmen an interest in the support of order. That law will enable the Irish to work out their final admission to an equality with Englishmen and Scotchinen in all the remaining advantages in the way of privilege which the latter still possess. To abuse the Catholics on account of their religion, to declaim against their priests, was air intelligible course of proceeding when it was neces sary to seek for pretexts to justify the refusal of Emati eiPAtion. But if the Catholic religion be bad, and the spirit of the priests be worse, the language of abuse may exasperate, but cannot amend. The politician who seeks to provoke the Catholics through abuse of their religi on , is throwing wa his indignation exc e pt he proposes to undo whatahSy hee the penal node, and t n done, to re - tnact of law. th e Q aubstitute for the government gove.inrnent of the sword. Wise and prutleht inert would need to pause before they embark In the flipport of such a policy. .The p resent Go vetni-nent give h onest effect to the law. The Tories are either idiots, or they contemplate th e b apt i z i ng the Catholics w i t h blood. There is no middle course. The Catholi cs are satisfied with beingnow within the pale of the law. e Tories sk to enslave them, and conceive th e mad project of ee invol ving England in all the consequences of an attempt to re•snact the penal code. If we are unjust to the To ries, they are unjust to themselyes ; for why do they encourage their organs to hold language which can mean only war to the Catholics ? Never did a faction evince such consummate wickedness and folly as the Tories do, if the Time: be a faithful interpreter of theiropioions. The invectives against Lords Mul grave and Morpeth are utterly irreconcileable with the idea of an equal and impartial administration of jus tice between Catholic and Protestant, and the preser vation of peace and tran :- • removal of THE t'N, LON LION, WEbMESDAY, SEPTEMBER jd, " us2e , e f hostility and irritation.

Ireland is taking attire measures t o d e f eat t h e atm. cious conwif'acy which the Eiy,lish Tut - k'. have formed to unseat the liberal Ir:sh Members, by means of election petitions. In yesterday's Ail;:ertiserw fls publish e d an account of - a meeting held in Dublin, whereat Upw'rds of 1,000!., to &fend the election of O'Connell and Hutton Were subscribed in a few • minutes. Other parts of the country are aKnat to fol low the tAample, and we trust that the Liberals of En:,,land and :e;cotlend no: suffer to escape an on •pertanity so favourehle. for the manifestation of their sympathy with Ireland, and of then detestation of the scandalous outrage attempted agaiast her representa tion. Now is the time to e,ive an indisputable re futation of the assertion alai a large portion of the English people entertain feelings of an tipathy, contempt, or hatred against their fel low-subjects in Ireland. It is true the con duet of the English Tories, in raising subscriptions for the purpose of making a systematic assault against the Members most duly and truly chosen by the Irish electors, tends much to corrohorrite this assertion ; but it must be recollected that the Tories detest and ebhor everything liberal, whether it be English or Irish, and that. it is not so much the country as the principle which excites their aniniosity. Their hostility to Ireland is, however, aggravated in proportion to the immense support which that country tenders to Reform. But, with the exception of the Tories proper, we cannot be lieve any considerable portion of Englishmen to enter tain feelings of hatred or rancour against Irch-:rd, nor to indulge in feelings of aversion, which could origi nate only from the most narrow-minded prejudices. Mr. O'Connell is of a different opinion ; but even his authority cannot induce us to think so meanly, we might say despicably, of any portion of Englishmen, save of those whom we have especially excepted ; for what could be more mean or despicable than for sub jrcts of the sam e Crown —people pursuing the same principle s o f G overnment, an d each deriving advantage and support from every step gained by the other— mutually assisting each other in their general inter course and promoting the general prosperity in assist ing that of each individually—what could be more foolish, mean, and despicable, than for people so cir cumstanced to regard each other with envy, hatred, and malice ? From the efforts now making in Ire land, as well as from the contemptible support given to the Spottiswoode subscription, it is not probable that any assistance from England will be required to defend the Liberal representation in Ireland ; yet it is incum bent on England, as well for Ireland's sake as for her own, to come forward to the rescue, and fling from the national character the infamy of resting tranquil while the most vile conspiracy is openly in operation against the representative principle—the great, the only guarantee of the general liberty. Ireland hes had a sufficiently severe contest to maintain against her own factionists—and nobly she acquitted herself— without having now to fight the battle o'er again against the factionists of England. Subscriptions to defend the Irish elections should be immediately commenced in this country. If the English Tories assault, it is the duty. as it is the interest, of the English Reformers to defend.--Morning Advertiser. PIi.ICE OF CANALS, DOCK.

Mr. CRAIG said he would ascertain whether such an act of Parliament was in existence, and postponed hi= judgment until a future day, to give him an opportunity of doing so. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. The 134rristcrs for revising the lists cf voters for the county of Middlesex, Thomas 'COVENTRY and --- TAM LYN, Esqs., attended at Hammersmith 3esterday. 'rho Conservatives were represented by Mr. C. F. ADEY, Mr. GREGORY, and Mr. TuaN tt ; the Reformers by Mr. BAY LIS and Mr. Warts. On the commencement of the business Mr. COVENTRY read his appointment, and stated that in consequence of Mr. Shadwell, who had been appointed with him, having declined acting, the Chief Justice had appointed Mr. TAM LYN as his substitute. A discussion upon the legality of- the appointment then took place ; after which the Barristers adjourned to consi der this point, and ultimately decided that, as a doubt ap peared to exist on the legality of the notices, it would be better to postpone the revision, and to advertise the notices again, and it was arranged that the revision of the County lists should commence at Uxbridge on the 23d, and the Chelsea and Kensington should be taken on the 6th of October ; that Hammersmith, Fulham, and Chiswick, should be taken on the 7th ; Bedfont on the 18th, and Brentford on the 11th ; and that the days for the other places should remain as fixed.

Mr. Keen sat in the long room upstairs, and took the business relative to the several parishes of St. Luke, St. Mary, Is lington, the Liberty of the Rolls, Saifron-hill, Stoke New ington, Fly-rents, and St. Sepulchre. Mr. Falconer took the parishes of St. Andrew ; Holborn, and St. George, the Martyr, St. Giles, St. George, Bloomsbury, Gray's-inn, Glaashonse-yard, and St. James and St. John, Clerkenwell. The Courts having been duly opened, Mr. KEEN pro ceeded with the parish of St. Luke. The objections to several voters for this parish were overruled, and the list of claimants amounted to 19, about equally divided as to po:itical sentiments. Mr. Rowland Wilks, the vestry clerk of St. Luke's, appeared for the majority of the claim ants, and Mr. J. Michal on the part of the Conservative interest. Several claims having been admitted, and the appli cants' names placed upon the list, an objection was raised by Mr. Michel to the claim of Mr. Charles Barfield, of Old-street-road, upon the ground that his name was not duly inserted in the refestration list. For the claimant it was endeavoured to be shown that the proper notice had been given to the overseer. Mr. Michal—This does not appear upon the overseer's list ; it is a most important point. The law requires that the claimant's name shall stand upon the overseer's list as printed. Here it has been subsequently introduced ; and if such a power was conceded in this instance, it may be claimed also for other parishes. Mr. KEEN said that the law recognized the acts of all those who had been appointed to act officially ; and although the overseer in this instance had somewhat irre gularly written in the name of the claimant, still he did not see sufficient grounds of disqualification. Mr. Michel said it was upon the principle of the thing alone that he contended. The claim was admitted. John Calcraft—Claim disputed through an error of the tax-gatherer ; claim admitted. Thomas Clair, on similar grounds, also admitted. J. Clitherow, of 63, Goswell street ; claim disputed on the ground that he had not oc cupied the premises long enough to entitle him to vote. After some argument the claim was allowed. A number of cases of " successive" and " disputed occupation" arose, two of which were disallowed, and one adjourned until this day. ST. MARY, ISLINGTON. The name of J. Beaumont was expunged on the very rea sonable ground " that he was dead." The name of Wil liam Cobb was also expunged ; so, too, were the names of Thomas Hail, Benjamin Lee, Solomon Spire, and J. Strahan. A great number of Radical claims, together with Conservative, having been disposed of (the general dis pute being merely that of "successive occupation"), the following droll colloquy took place : Mr. R. S. Wilkes claimed to be put upon the list as a voter. He had (he said) been a voter ever since the " bo rough was a borough ;" but he now understood that he was to be disqualified upon rather curious grounds. Tax-collector—Not at all curious. You hav'nt paid up your taxes. Mr. Wilkes—lt might be said that he had not, but where is the proof ? Collector—You have not paid for the " armorial bear ings."—( Laughter.) You are 1/. 4s. on my books. " I'll tell you, Sir," said the collector, addressing the Revising barrister, " this gentleman had two lap.do:,s, and I charged the proper dog -tax upon them ;be refused to pay it, and, after considerable waiting and remonstrating with him, he thought proper to write to the Commissioners of Taxes on the subject. The Commissioners, however, had observed that the letter be had sent was sealed with a handsome crest ; and finding that Mr. Wilkes was not entitled to " bear such honours," the amount of 11.45. was clapped on as the duty for " armorial bearings."—(Laughter). Mr. Wilkes—Allow me to explain. Tl:e fact is, I had put a wafer on the letter, but as I was going to take it, my friend Tomkins ses to me, " Don't you go for to send a letter in that common way—(Langhter)—seal it, my boy, seal it ;" so I dropped into an engraver's, a friend of mine, and sealed it with a remarkable fine crest—not mine, I as sure you.—( Laughter.) Mr. Michal—So, then, in attempting to escape Charyb dis, you tumbled into Scylla? Mr. Wilkes—Silly enough, no doubt ; but I can assure you that the Commissioners do not want the money, and treat the matter altogether as a joke. The Collector assured the Revising Barrister that it " no joke," but that lie was expected to obtain the money. After much laughable matter, pro and con, Mr. KEEN said that if the claimant would this day pro duce a written document from the Commissioners, and if his receipt for assessed taxes wqs general, and not pro taalo, his claim would be allowed, but certainly not other wise. Mr. Keen having crone through the lists seriatim with the vestry c l er k s , adjourned the Court until ten o'clock this day. (Before Mr. THOMAS FALCONER.) ST. ANDREW'S HOLBORN. The lists of this parish were first entered into, and with . the exception of the name of Mr. Andrew James, whose ' name was expunged on the ground of a joint occupancy of chambers with his father, passed without objection. ST. GEORGE'S, BLOOMSBURY. Mr. Birch claimed to be registered, but was met by Mr. Mourilyan, the gentleman who attended for the Conserva tive interest, on the ground that his notice of claim had been defective, not containing his place of abode. 1)isollowed. Mr. Cook was disfranchised on the same grounds. ST. GILES'S. Mr. Mourilyan produced the first objection, and asked the Learned Barrister whether if was necessary for him to produce the service of it. Mr. FALCONER said he doubted as to the necessity of proving it in a borough registration—in a county it would be exceedingly important. When notice in a borough parish was given to an Overseer, it was posted on the Church door, so that all might avail themselves of the in formation, and it was impossible to take any one by sur prise. There were many conflicting opinions in the House of Commons' Committees upon the subject, and many spe culative questions had been mooted, but himself and col league, as Revising Barristers, did not consider it necessary to call for the service (f the notices. The objections then proceeded. Mr. Claude Perring was struck off on the ground of non payment of rates. The claims to vote, amounting to 44, were next pro ' ceeded with, and the majority objected to by Mr. Mourilyan. Several cases occurred where individuals claimed to be registered and bad sent notice to the overseers desiring to be rated; instead of the bona fide landlord of the premises. On this subject the Revising. Barrister said that consider. able inconvenience arose in consequence of overseers not complying with the provisions of the Act, which especially stated" that all p ersons d es i r i ng to b e rate d s h ou ld b e so rated." True, the overseers might imagine that in some instances they would not obtain the rates, but the law bad provided for this, by making the liability fall uprrn the bona fide landlord ; so that in &Aber e,:se the vv.rish could not negligene2 of the overseers had cc:rt.:linty caused ttotible in investigatiog the After Some further 94,”rvations, the Court adjournel at about half-past four. WEST SURREY. CiftnTS,EY, ToEsDAY.—Yesterday morning Mr. Esn- NASSE and Mr. IP,LvasT, the barristers appointed to revise the lists of the electors fit West Surrey, arrived in this town, and commenced business at the Crown Inn at twelve o'clock, and revised the lists of claimants to rote in the Byneet, Thorpe, Esher, and Moulsey districts. The Egham list was not completed. The more material part of the business was adjourned over to the following day (Tues day), when the Learned Gentlemen took their respective z is of ten o'clock. tiC , n only one objection raised amongst the voters for the parish of cobhatii, which was adjourned to the sit• ting at. Dorking. The Learned Barristers then proceeded to revise the Chertsey list, There were seiticriil arguments raised with respect to lila right to vote of certain forrnerg residing near Chertsey, who occupy leasehold properties, bat the decision was re served for n future opportunity. The business concluded here a little after four o'clock. FROM LIST NIGHT'S GAZETTE CROWN-OFFICE, SEPT. 18. ITE3IBEES IRETTJUNED TO SERVE IN TILE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Lieutenant Paget Jones, ILN., has been appointed to a command on the Holyhead steam-packet station, vice Captain Owen, resigned. Paganini has been in Paris for several weeks past, living, not incognito, b u t i n t h e utmost o b scurity. Though the p o s sessor of a large fortune, which he has invested in various Continental banks, he has but one servant, and his expenditure seems to be regulated upon the most economi cal system. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the John Bull, from Hamburgh, arrived off the Custom house at eight o'clock yesterday morning. COURT Or ALDERMEN. A "special and particular Court" having bet; summoned for yesterday, it was generally expected that there woold be a ILO attendance of Aldermen. The summonses likewise stated that the object was to "consider the Report of the Revenue Committee, presented to the Court of Common Council, in relation to the Mayoralty, and the amount pro posed to be allowed in future to the Lord Mayor for the time being, and the regulations to be adopted with respect to the entertainments on Lord Mayor's Day, taking such regulations from the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and this Court, and transferring the sa7t.e to the Court of Common Council." The Lord Mayor and several of the Aldermen assembled soon after one o'clock, the time appointed for holding the Court ; but even at two a sufficient number could not be got togcOler to con4titute a Court. In the interval several observations were made by members who were impatient and indignant at the conduct of those who absented them selves, while others attempted to excuse or palliate the ap parent violation of duty with which their brethren were chargeable. Alderman COPELAND (the Court hivinc , waited rather more than twenty minutes) stated to the Lord Mayor that a resolution had passed in 1832, to the effect that if, upon any day appointed for holding a Court, a sufficient number to constitute a Court did not attend, the names of those who performed their duty by being present should be pub lished. He trusted that, in the present instance, the reso lution would be adhered to. Sir P. LAURIE hoped that those who were present would wait for some time, as he saw there was a chance of ga thering together a sufficient number. He had himself ridden seventy-two miles in order to be in attendance, hav ing prepared himself to meet the proposition so seriously to interfere with the privileges of the body to which he belonged. After a few words from Alderman Venables, Alderman Copeland, and Sir Peter Laurie, the conversation having lasted till five minutes past two, Alderman Copeland quitted the Court, and was followed by the rest, the Lord Mayor having ordered that summonses should be issued for this day (Wednesday), at twelve o'clock. The fol lowing notification was then entered by Mr. Wood thorpe, the Town-clerk, on the books. and sent to be ad vertised :—" The Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Alder men Scholey, Venables, Brown, Sir Peter Laurie, Cope land, Cowan, Wilson, Marshall, Pirie, and Thomas Wood, being present, Aldermen Winchester and Lainson being at the Old Bailey, and Aldermen Atkins and Lucas being ill, and there being not a sufficient number present to consti tute a Court, a Court is appointed for Wednesday, at twelve o'clock." The discussion will, it is expected, be very interesting. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-TUESDAY These Sessions commenced this morning, before Mr. Ser geant ADAMS and a full bench of Magistrates. The ca lendar contains a list of 124 prisoners, although only a few days have elapsed since the termination of the last Ses- Aons. There are 38 charged with felonies ; the rest are for riots, assaults, and misdemeanours. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The CHAIRMAN briefly stated to them the nature of the duties they were called upon to discharge. James Ivory was convicted of a very violent assault on John Higgins, and sentenced to two month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and at the expiration of that period to find bail, himself in 401. and two sureties in 201 each, to keep the peace for twelve months. Isaac Lepine and Mary, his wife, were indicted for as saulting the father and mother of the male prisoner. The Jury found Isaac Lepine Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced Lepine to find bail to keep the peace for twelve months. Several other assault cases of no public interest were disposed of', after which the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday William Modds, an elderly man, was placed at the bar, charged by Elizabeth Lanham, aged 11 years, re siding with her parents, at No. 10, Eder-street, Holborn, with an assault with intent to violate her person. The prosecutrix stated that on Saturday night last she retired to rest, and fell asleep, leaving the candle alight. She was subsequently awoke by the prisoner, whom she found in bed with her in the dark. She made an alarm, and the prisoner was given into custody. Two medical men who had examined the prosecutrix proved that violence had been offered, but the capital offence had not been perpetrated. The prisoner's daughter, 22 years of age, was in 66,urt during part of the investi gation, in a distressed state: frying and exclaiming " Oh, my poor father," which became so distressing that Mr. Bennet suggested that she should be taken out of the of fice. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. James Lea was charged by Elizabeth Cockaync, 10 years of age, of No. 33, Lloyd's-row, with a similar offence, He denied the charge, but he was fully committed for trial MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A fastidiously-dressed young man , who give the name of Grorgc Hcfrbert, and afterwards added Shaw, was 4,llarged before Mr. CHAMBERS with having created a dis turbance in Coventry-court. The defendant then admitted intoxication, and was lined the usual amount. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a promising tailor's apprentice, named Jain Nesbitt, was brought up by a constable of the S charged with having been found sporting with a large horse pistol, in a field near Highgate, on the previous evening, to the great danger of her Majesty's liege subjects. Mr. ItAwuNsoN (to the prisoner).—What sort of game were you shooting of? Coekchafli-s, I suppose. Prisoner —Lor bless yer, it arn't legal to shoot them ere things at this ere time of the year, cos they bearnt in season. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, what other game did you find at Highgate ? Prisoner—None at all. But I found that every person I met made game of me. They told me as how I couldn't hit a haystack. Mr. RAWLINSON That may be very true ; yet still by chance you might have shot yourself or somebody else. The pistol appears very old and unsafe, and might have gone off unexpectedly on the half-cock. Prisoner—l thought. of that myself, and so to prevent accidents I shoved a cork in the muzzle. Mr. RAwuNsoN—Well, if I let you go, will you pro. raise not to sport with fire-arms again ? Prisoner—Blesi if I don't. I'll go upon the old and safe plan in future and whenever I'm in a sportin mood, and vents a bird, if don't try a bit of salt blow me. Snip was then discharged, but his pistol was not allowed to go off, being detained by the Magistrate's orders. . Mangum, the French Deputy and Advocate, has left town on a tour in the manufacturing districts. 'FHB SPAS OF GERMANY, BY DR. GRANVILLE. —To one who purposes, .to visit the German Spas, Dr. Granville's book is as necessary as his portmanteau or his travelling bag, or his purse to pay his way. It informs him upon every point upon which he is likely to seek intelligence —the quality of every spring, its uses and effects—the con stitutions or diseases it will aid or prejudice—the character of the town in which it is situate, the kind of company to he met with, the manners and charges of the attendants, with a thousand other particulars most important to the traveller. Lastly, it sparkles with amusing anecdotes of persons whose names arc a kind of public property, and wherever a capital graphic cut will serve to assist description of site or scenery, it is introduced, and adds no small merit or utility to the performance.—Bath Herald. BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL.—Madame Gsisi, Mrs. Shaw, and a few others of vocal celebrity, arrived here on Saturday night. M. Neukomm has been with us some days, getting everything in readiness for the production of his new grand work. On Tuesday it will receive its public birth ; and if what a few cognoscenti, who have some know ledge of the progress of its creation, say, be the result of judgment rather than of partiality, the " Ascension" will add very considerably to the fame which the Chevalier has ac quired in all p ar t s o f E urope. But for those whose predi lector) is for music that is not only classical, but sanctioned by time, or, in other words, that comes under the term an cient, there will be no lack of the compositions of the " Giant Handel."
