SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We stated, and stated truly, on Wednesday last that the Catholics, being now within the pale of the law, had no longer a motive for rebelling against the law. " We are mighty glad to hear it," exclaims the Times. " Whence the insolent requisition to have unheard-of changes wrought in the law as it exists?" Nothing more easy than to satisfy the Times. In fact it might have found the answer to its question in the article on which it comments. " The law of 1829," we ob served, " 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 Scotchmcn in all the remaining advan tages in the way of privilege which the latter still pos sess." Who ever supposed that satisfaction with the law, in its general sense, meant a determination to be satisfied with every particular law ? Why do people wlsh to possess a constitutional Legislature, but to be enabled to repeal those laws which are found to be in jurious or no longer efficient, and to obtain others, when the interests of the country or the altered cir cumstances of the times demand them ? The Tinzes m .rely indulges in a quibble when it infers that a satis fa-lion with law in general implies a determination to abide by every particular law. When the privilege of effecting alterations in the law by constitutional means is withheld from a people, they have no alternative but submission or revolution, which, when unsuccessful, is termed rebellion. The Irish Catholics were tied hand and foot by the penal laws, and the Constitution ex isted not for them. They are now within the pale of the Constitution, and have shown at the late elec tions the importance they attach to the privilege it has conferred on them. The people of England and Scotland, 'when dissatisfied with the abuses in the representation, were not dissatisfied with the law, for they conceived the possibility of effecting a reform in the repreEenta tion by legal and constitutional means. When the people become thoroughly convinced that further re forms are necessary to enable them to realize the be nefits they expected from the Reform Bill, we do not doubt that they will also obtain those reforms, with out revolution, by legal and constitutional means. The Irish will not be driven by the Tories into any proceedings of an unconstitutional description. They repose confidence in the law and its impartial admi nistration. They know that an honest and impartial execution of the law must ere long annihilate faction. Governing by means of an ascendancy is no longer practicable in Ireland ; and the Tories, by leaguing themselves with furious Orangemen, who live in the past, and dream of the recovery of a power which is gone for ever, only thereby proclaim themselves ut ter:), unfit to assume the government of these king doms.—Morning Chronicle. Many reforms may still be wanting in this country, fur aught we know, who profess ourselves to be sound and true Reformers ; but, whatever difference of sen timent may arise upon other questions, sure we are Cum mankind will agree as to the first and most radical of all reforms being a reform of the English la:mnage. Yz's, every Englishman who has eyes to be mane sore by strange readings, or ears to be confused by decep tive noises, or judgment to be mystified by treacherous propesitions, framed in crude and simple forms, but resulting in nought, save disappointment to the un wary, from the sinister consequences to which they de signe lead, will and must agree with us that the vocabulary stands in greater need of some immt.diate, and at the same time final amendment, than any other branch of our national cs:ablishments or institu tions. Indeed, wherever abuse exists in reality, the most tormenting of all abuses is the abuse of words. It is impossible to comprehend creeds of any kind, rr to deterinine any man's merits—to guess what men arc, or what their actions are likely to be, without having previously brought their tongues or yens to the test of some accurate and inevitable standard. We will ask, ai one illustration of the difficulties and grievances above referred to, what means the phrase " Union among Reformers ?" And this requires a preliminary settlement of the question, 'Who is " a Reformer ?" In its original and abstract sense it would convey no thing to the mind but " one ‘‘ho reconstructs." Now a reconstructed thing, it is manifest, may be much better, or a great deal worse, than the thing which it has superseded. But novelty so often arrogates to itself a superiority over that which is old, and the party bent on " reconstruction" finds so ready an excuse in the confidence of improving upon that which he demo lishes, that the credit demanded by lovers of change has, through the good-natured indulgence of society, been awarded to them : a conventional signification of the word " reform" has taken place of its etymological and more correct one, and a political Reformer is now loosely and absurdly allowed to be an ameliorator of public institutions. Upon this point we must make the obvious remark, that the advocates of universal suf frage, and of the ballot, and of the " voluntary prin ciple," in lieu of an established worship, and of Popish sovereignty over Ireland, to the subversion of Protes tantism, and of an elective House of Lords, to the abolition of one which is hereditary, have each and all of them profited largely by the conventional use of the word " Reformer," when they set themselves up pharisaically above the shoulders of those who on such questions are opposed to change. Sir Robert Peel has furnished a key to the application of the term far more accurate and useful, and worthy of adoption, than the vulgar one, when he challenges the innovators to " prove their grievance," and he will vie with them in the work of " Refbrin." But again ; if " Reformers" he lovers of change, and if, by a still more licentious abuse of language, those who would run all lengths in democratic change, assert their right to the most elevated rank among " Reformers," what, let us ask, is the proper signification of a phrase to which our ears have of late been disciplined—viz., " union among Reformers ?" If here, once more, we ascend to first principles, we arrive at a meaning from which it is to be apprehended that those who have had the most eager recourse to the injunction, and have betrayed the deepest interest in the suc cess of it, will be the foremost to recoil. Accord ing to the current phraseolegy of the time, the m os t "''Liberal" or Radical Reformers are the most perfect in their calling ; that is to say, the best Reformers are those who would leave the fewest of our laws and insti tuitions unchanged. Such, we appeal to the reading, talking, and recollecting world—such is the understood hierarchy of Reformers in their mutual relations. It follows, then, that if the cause of " Reform" (as un derstood conventionally) he that to which Reformers ought in chief and above all others to devote them selves, " union among Reformers"—that is, united action—must be in furtherance of the measures proposed by those Reformers who meditate the most extensive change. Stich union among men of different opinions being attainable no otherwise than by a sacrifice of impulse on one side, or of scruple on the other ; and it being assumed that the man of impulse is the best Reformer, and he who would act most beneficially on behalf of Reform, or in other words " carry it out" most vigorously, it follows beyond a question that the m:n of scruple (or so called moderation) is he who ought, from a sense of the general reform interest, to give way, or the cause itself, upon the principles and showing of its advocates, is betrayed, and some nar rower, that is more selfish object, preferred to the " cause of Reform." Let us see, however, in what sense and with what motive this high-sounding Shib boleth of " union among Reformers" has been pro claimed and hallowed by its authors. Those authors ale not the most extensive or thoroughgoing of the Reform tribe. They are not the Ballotmongers, Peer destroyers, &c., but the contrary ; the au thors of the " Union" counsel are those from whom, iu lZeform dialect, the great cause has the smallest poss ibl e portion of benefit to look for. They are not the spurs of Reform, but the drags upon it. They are the men in office, the Ministers, whose recognised business is (being Ministers, enjoying pa. tronage, and receiving salaries every quarter), to admit no one particle of alteration into the existing state of things, neither in principle nor in practice, by w:.ich power can be shared or salary jeopardised, or a status quo so favourable to themselves in the slightest de T ree affected. Nothing - , therefore, can be more na tural (we grant, to save trouble, the impudence of it, but) nothing can be more natural than that advice pro ceeding from such a source should have regard to the peculiar exigencies of its authors, rather than to those of the common cause of Reform. Accordingly, their cry is this—Reform is very good in itself, but, then, what becomes of the " Reform Ministry ?" "If the feelings of the high and vigorous Reformers be con sulted, and their views adopted by the whole majority of the House of Commons, it may doubtless much advance and promote the cause of Radicalism (that is, of perfect Reform) throughout the country. But then what become of us, for in the mean time we must trundle out of office ? Therefore, above all things, whatever becomes of Reform principles, for God's sake take care of us." Now, this is the construction put upon " union among Reformers," by those who have themselves circulated the watchword. Hence it follows upon the face of the thing, that the effect contemplated from an " union of Reformers" is not that the worst Reformers should be postponed to the best, but that the best should be sacrificed to the most reluctant—that " union" means the defeat of those who have no selfish object to promote, and the triumph of those who have none but selfish objects— in the same manner as Mr. Daniel O'Connell's theory of a union between Great Britain and Ireland is, that it should be made subservient to the sordid purposes of him who has declared himself its enemy, and thus, that the master-piece of all reform policy, at the com mencement of Queen Victoria's reign, is effectually to stop the whole course and progress of reform, for the avowed purpose, and the exclusive one, of stop ping likewise every change which might affect this dozen persons composing the Cabinet, or the single person who so wields the patronage of Ireland, as to facilitate her separation from Great Britain. Mr. Shar man Crawford's fifth letter to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, which was published in the Times of yesterday, admi nistered such a dissection to the base hypocricy and hungry and ignominious profligacy of that universal swindler, as must eventually contribute a powerful aid to the self-destroying efforts of O'Connell himself against the hollow fabric of his own power, based as it ever has been on a confidence in the overweening, though not altogether irretrievable, credulity of his countrymen.— Times. The proper work of the Whig-Radicals is destruc tion. They can pull down, but they cannot build up ; they can destroy, but they cannot construct ; they are in the political world what the Vandals of old were in the world of art and science—blind, fierce, and insati able destroyers. Not only do they raven for the op portunity to root up from its foundations our ancient Constitution, admired as it has been by the greatest and wisest of men of all nations as the noblest work of civil polity that human wisdom ever constructed—not only do the raven, we say, for the opportunity to pull down and utterly subvert this unrivalled work, which a generous patriotism raised and dedicated to enlightened liberty, but they actually demand the abolition of that specimen of Whig statesmanship which they used to call the second Magna Charta of England—we mean the Reform Act. The Whig-Radicals would rather destroy the work of their own hands than not be en gaged in destruction of some sort. We recollect when we gave great offence to the Whig-Radicals by saying that we thought the Bill of Rights, or perhaps even the Habeas Corpus Act, was more de serving of being called the second great Charter of England tle:m the Reform Act. But that was at the time of the senseless outcry of those very Whiff-Radi cals " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." We also incurred the displeasure of the ad rr irers of the " absolute perfection" of that Act, by describing its machinery as complicated, eitunsy, and ill-contrived, which we did repeatedly, while supportiw4 the pri;icipie of the Bill as far as it went to restore to the country a real representation, the conduct of the boronlimongers, both Tory and 'Whig, in the mea sure of uequalified Roman Catholic Emancipation, having, beyond everything else, proved the necessity of Parnamentary Reform, in order that the sentiments of the people should have due consideration in the people's House, and that their petitions should not be treated with semi and ridicule, as the Protestant petitions were treated by the nominees of the borouglimongers on that occasion. If the Whig-radicals only wanted an amendment of the complicated, absurd, and most inefficient registra tion-machinery of the Act, so as to prevent electors being ' harassed, as they now are, by persons objecting to any number of voters, or to whole lists, on the speculation that some cannot or will not lie present to support their franchise—if it was also their desire to obviate the fa cilities which exist under the Act for fictitious persona tion of voters dead or abroad—if they were anxious that a provision should be introduced to give represen tation to the great mass of property which still. remains unrepresented—if they wished to substitute some more rational and efficient mode of ascertaining and recording the claims of bona fide electors than the present regis tration courts, with their conflicting decisions, and the contention and turmoil of their annual excitement—in these, and some other points of detail, we could go along with them, notwithstanding they were indignant when we ridiculed the silly cry of " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." But when we consider the immense price at which the country has purchased the Reform Act—when we consider that it cost nearly a re volution to carry, and that we have scarcely yet recovered from the effects of the disturbance which it caused to the industry and regular pursuits of the people of this manufacturing and commercial country, we cannot, to please the Whig Radicals, or any other party, consent to throw away all that was purchased at that great cost by assisting them to repeal the Reform Act, ac cording to the prediction of Sir Robert Peel, or to pass such measures affecting the representative system as would be tantamount to the repeal. We would even go the length of co-operating with them to cut away those ten or a dozen snug nomination boroughs which the " Reform Ministers preserved for themselves or connections out of the general wreck of the proprietary system ; but, beyond this, we advise them to make up their minds to be content with their second Magna Charta for a long time to come. The industrious people of this country cannot afford a revolutionary movement every seven years to test the practical value of Whig-Radical experiments upon the best Constitu tion in the world.—Morning Herald. A spirit of determined opposition to the payment of Church-rates is rapidly spreading through the width and breadth of the land. The Patriot of Thursday specifies no fewer than four instances, all of which have occurred within the last few days, in which at public meetings called for the purpose of raising a church rate, such rate has been refused by large majorities. It must have been long clear to every person who looks below the surface of things, that to this com plexion matters must have come at last. A passive assent to the principle that a man is bound to pay for the support of an ecclesiastical system to which he en tertains very strong objections, is incompatible with the progress of intelligence in the present day. Such a principle lays the axe at the root of all equitable go vernment. It is an outrage on men's conscience, to which no government ought, under any circumstances, to be a party. In the case of religion, a legislative en actment to compel men to abet a system against which his judgment rebels, is a crowning act of ini quity. The time has at length arrived when this great truth will be generally perceived and acted on. The Dissenters, who are, by inheritance, as well as by adoption, identified in a manner peculiar to them selves, with the principles of civil and religious. liberty, have been the first to make a decided and noble stand against the outrage on men's consciences, which has been for ages committed by the Church of Enaland- And as they were the first to beard the monster of a religious establishment in his den, we trust they will continue to grapple with him until he is fairly strangled. The Dissenters have the means of a speedy and decisive triumph in their own hands. If true to them selves and their principles, they will, at no distant period, prove more than a match for that hierarchy which has for generations added insult to oppression, while rolling in the wealth which it had exacted from their pockets. Let the Dissenters be but united as one man, and persevere in the righteous course they have so well begun, and they will not only achieve their own exemption from the compulsory payment of Church -rates, but they will eventually succeed in rescuin g Christianity from the unholy grasp of the State. Need we say that such a triumph were worthy of all the efforts which the Dissenters can make, and of all the sacrifices which may be required from them in the struggle. To dissever the unhallowed asso ciation which for fifteen hundred years has existed between the Church and State, would be to restore the religion of the New Testament to its pristine THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1837. purity, and to reinvest it with a power over the minds and conduct of men, which it can never have, so long as its alliance with human Governments is suffered to exist. We are told that there are Dissenters who feel indifferently on the subject of a Church Establishment. Such persons are Dissenters in name only—they have yet to learn the first principles of Dissent. They know nothing of the genius of the system with which they , ostensibly identify themselves. The sooner such per sons detach themselves from Dissent the better—they only operate as an incubus on the effective operations of the body, in its efforts to abolish religious Establish ments. We cannot too often repeat, that the Church of England would herself be a gainer, to an incalcu lable extent, were she thrown entirely on her own re sources. The adoption of the voluntary principle would invest her with an additional moral power of inconceivable magnitude. It would purge her of the dross which is now so largely intermixed with her pure ore, and which renders her so unseemly a spectacle to all who know aught of the genius of Christianity. It would play sad havoc with her fox-hunting and card playing parsons, and would send her drones adrift in perfect shoals. The inevitable tendency of things is to this desirable consummation of the voluntary system, and every enlightened Churchman will contribute to the utmost of his power towards its acceleration. — Morning Advertiser. DREADFUL STORM IN THE EAST INDIES. (From the Liverpool Telegraph.) By an overland dispatch, which arrived at Falmouth on Sunday, intelligence of a very violent and destructive hur ricane, which occurred at Bombay on the 14th of June, has been received. The shipping in the harbour of Bombay suffered severely ; more especially the Liverpool vessels. The following details will be read with interest : " Bombay, 24th June. " One of the severest gales that has occurred here for the last 46 years commenced on the evening of the 14th inst. On the morning of the 15th, the scene of destruction was displayed. The roaring of the wind and the thunder was truly awful. Large palmira trees, six feet in diameter and seventy in height, were torn up by the roots, and hurled down upon the ground with a tremendous crash ; many of the houses were completely unroofed, and the tiles blown about like chaff of the summer threshing floor. But the most destructive scene was the harbour, where the ravages will be long remembered by the inhabitants and natives of Bombay. Large vessels of 600 to 1,000 tons were forced from their moorings, and driven high and dry upon the rocks, close under the walls of the fort. There were 14 vessels altogether on shore : eight of them Liverpool ves sels, and out of that eight six of them were condemned— the Richard Walker, the Ranger, the Northumberland, the Mary llugdale, the Great Harwood, and the Briton, all of which (ready for sailing) went on shore and became total wrecks. The loss of European lives was but small, but hundreds of native boats went to the bottom with all hands. There are no less than four vessels from Liverpool this week." The following is a list of the vessels driven on shore : The Richard Walker, of Liverpool, 381 tons, between 400 and 500 bales of cotton on board, on shore near the Ranger, totally diimasted, rudder gone, broken amidships, an d a complete w reek ; cargo much damaged. Toe Briton, of Liverpool, 505 tons, ready for sea, on shore at Calaba, total wreck, with loss of three men and one passenger (Mr. Campbell) ; cargo saved, much damaged. The Itang.2r, of Liverpool, 516 tons, partly loaded, on shore at Juron Bunder, a total wreck ; cargo much damaged. Toe Great Harwood, of Liverpool, 420 tone, very little cargo on board, ashore close to the Flagstaff shoal ; con demned. The Northumberland, of Liverpool, 361 tons, no cargo, on shore at Custom-house Bunder ; bilged and condemned. The Mary Dagdale, of Liverpool, 375 tons, ready for sea, on shore at Mozagong, full of water and condemned ; cargo much damaged. The Rapid, of Liverpool, 232 tons, about half loaded, on shore near the Castle, got off, and is repairing ; ship and cargo seriously damaged. The John Stamp, of Liverpool, 400 tons, on shore at Brag Bunder ; much damaged, repairing in dock. '1 he Edinburgh, of London, 1,414 tons, small part of cargo on board, on shore at Borah Gorah .Bunder ; ship much damaged, will be repaired in dock. H. M. S. Hastings on shore at the Custom-house Ben der, lest rudder ; ship making water. H. C. S. Tapter dismasted. H. U. steamer Hugh Lindsay parted her moorings, got foul of the Bernice, lost paddle-boxes, cut water, figure head, a Al suffered other severe damage. The Adelaide, of Bengal, 333 tons, on shore at Borah Bunder, now afloat, much dam aged. The Julia, 286 tons, now afloat, much damaged. The Hindoo, of Bombay, 476 tons, on shore close to the Mins, a total wrack. The Corsair, of Calcutta, 127 tons, dismasted, now afloat, but making water. The Aurora (floating chapel), on shore, and bilged. Had the gale continued an hour longer, not a ship would have been saved, as the whole drove from their anchors. WHEAT AND FLOUR IN FRANCE COMPARED WITH LONDON. WHEAT. —The highest price of the, best wheat in Paris, is 26 francs per 1 hectolitre, which is equal to 39% 9d. per English imperial quarter. The highest price of the best Essex and Kent wheat in London, is 70s. per quarter, show. ing fine wheat to be 30s. 3d. per quarter dearer in London than in Paris, or upwards of 76 per cent. ; and that the same money which will in London buy but eight bushels of wheat, will, in Paris, procure upwards of fourteen bushels of the finest quality. notTa.—The highest price of flour of the " first mark" in Paris, is 50 francs per 150 kilogrammes, which is equal to 31s. 6d. per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest price of the best " town made" flour in London, being 525. per sack, shows fine flour to be 20s. 6d. per sack dearer in London than in Paris, or nearly 65 per cent. ; and that the same money which in London buys but 280 pounds of fine flour, will in Paris purchaaa 462 pounds of the •ery best quality. A letter from Mihalysa, county Yalad, in Hun gary, says that on the 10th of July, at half-past ten at night, there appeared in the horizon above the mountains, situated between Esab-Rendeck and Sumigh, not far from the forest of Bakang, an immense column of flame, which rose with a dreadful noise and roaring like that of distant steam, followed by two violent explosions, with a short in terval between them. This phenomenon terrified not only the inhabitants but the domestic animals. The explosions were so violent that the ground trembled ; and at Sumigh and Mihalysa the windows were so shaken, that they were expected to be broken to pieces. The phenomenon was of only a few seconds' duration, and after the explosion all was buried in obscurity. An explosion nearly similar was heard on the sth of January, in Syria.—Journal de Frank furt, Sept. 17. A plain country fellow, born in Essex, coming to London, which place he had never seen before, as he walked in a certain street, not a great way from Mark-lane, espied a rope hanging at a merchant's door, with a handle to it ; and wondering what it meant, he took it in his hand, and played with it to and fro ; at length, pulling it hard, he heard a bell ring ; it so happened, that the merchant, being near the door, went himself, and demanded what the fellow would have. Nothing, sir, said he, I did but play with this pretty thing which hangs at your door. What countryman are you ? said the merchant. An Essex man, an't please you, replied the other. I thought so, replied the merchant, for I have often heard say, that if a man beat a bush in Es sex, there presently comes forth a calf. It may be so, replied the countryman, and I think a man can no sooner ring a bell in London but out pops a donkey. On Tuesday last, as a timber carriage, bearing an immense piece of timber, was descending the hill on the east side of this town, the drag chain broke, and the immense force which the shaft-horse had in consequence to sustain was too much for his strength. The whole team, consist ing of six horses, was therefore hurried down the hill at the most tremendous rate, causing the most fearful apprehen sions as to the result. The harness ultimately gave way, and, on arriving nearly at the bottom of the hill, one of the horses fell, and the wheel passing over its leg, crushed it dreadfully. By some it is hoped the horse may recover, but at present no likelihood appears as to its being ever again useful. Happily no life was lost.—Sherborne Journal. On Thursday night the Royal Tar steamer, when off Port Glasgow, on her passage down the river, came in collision with a sloop loaded with slates, from the High lands. The starboard paddle was considerably injured, but the steamer received no further damage, while the sloop, in consequence of the collision, sunk. Captain Nl'Kellar, of the Tar, took up the men in charge of the sloop, so that providentially there were no lives lost.—Greenock Advertiser. Lime is said to be an excellent remedy for burns or scalds. Equal proportions of lime, water, and any kind of oil, made into a thin paste, and immediately applied, and repeatedly moistened, will speedily remove the effect of a burn ; and if applied later, even when the blister has risen, the remedy never fails. This paste has been known to stop effusions of blood, when almost every thing else has failed. Dry lime thrown into a flesh wound is always healing. An elderly gentleman going to a warm bath the other day, hired a fiacre by the hour, and, stationing it at the door of the bathing establishment, paid half a dozen Auvergnat porters to sit in it while he performed his ablu tions, in order, as be said, that the vehicle might be well warmed and ready to receive him en sortant de reau.— Galignani's Messenger.

We insert without loss of time the following letter from the President and Committee of the Polish Emigration in London,—not that we believe any feeling prejudicial to the characters of those brave men can arise out of the misre presentation to which it alludes, although it must be pain ful to the feelings of those gentlemen to find that any human being should be so depraved as to assail all that now re mains to them of any value in this life, " their honour." But with every true patriot of the British Isles, with every lover of national independence and rational freedom, the genuine character of the Polish patriotic refugees is so much respected, that it is in no danger of being injured by the baseners of imposters, who, whether they may have been emigrants from Poland or not, are, in all probability, the hired spies and informers of the oppressor of their country. The pages of history, unfortunately, too often expose to us the appalling and disgraceful fact, that the tyrants who have wasted with fire and sword the fertile plains of Poland, and other ill-fated countries, have often added to their wicked ness the diabolism of sending their disgraceful emissaries about the world, (some of these wretches have even titles of "honour"), to blacken and vilify those whom they have, by the most unjustifiable rapine, plundered of their just rights and properties. But we say to the brave Polanders, be of good cheer, do not despair. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir—The Committee of the Polish Emigration in London have read with great surprise the account of the examina tion of Joseph Jacobi, at the Surrey Sessions, in the papers of the 14th inst. The statement of the pretended Polish gentleman, who intimated that he was deputed by them to act in defence of the said Joseph Jacobi, was a complete falsehood ; and they are anxious moreover to caution the public generally against such impostors, many of whom en deavour to work upon their kindness by assuming the title of Polish refugees, to which they have no claim whatever. GEN. DWERNISKI, President. N. F. ZABA, T. GLEINICH, Members. MARKOWSKI, ALBERT TUR, S. MILEWICI, Secretary. 125, Albany-street, Regent's-park, Sept.l9. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. CITY OF LONDON. (Before Mr. CRAIG.) Yesterday, at the sitting of the Court, Mr. CRAIG gave his decision in the case of Mr. Fairclough, which was heard a few days ago. After reviewing all the facts in the case, the Learned Barrister concluded by saying—ln all cases of this kind the general question was, whether or not a par ticular room or place for which a claim is made as being a counting-house is bona fide so. On the whole he (Mr. Craig) did not think he should be justified in holding this to be bona fide a counting-house ; and though he was pre pared to expect his successor might entertain a different opinion, yet he was disposed to place Mr. Fairclough's name on the list in respect of a counting-house in Great Winchester-street. Mr. CRAIG then gave his decision on Mr. Dobell's case. He appears on the list of voters for the parish of Allhal lows, Lombard-street, as being qualified to vote in respect of a house, No. 2, Ball-alley ; he has not been objected to. The fact, however, is, that before the 31st of July he had removed from that house to a house, No. 25, Gr.ace church-street, and seeing that his name had been inserted in the list of voters in respect of the house in Ball-alley, he sent in to one of the overseers, in proper time and pro per form, a claim to be put upon the list of voters for this parish in respect of the house in Gracechurch-street. The learned Barrister delivered an elaborate judgment, conclud ing in the following words :—ln the present instance, inas much as Mr. Dobell's name has appeared on the list of voters, in respect of the house from which he has removed, ample opportunity has been given of objecting to him upon the ground of any personal disqualification to which he might be subject ; and, upon the whole, I think that any general power of correcting mistakes, coupled with the reasons I have given on the other view of the case, will justify me in inserting his present qualification in the list. FINSBURY. The revision of the lists of this borough closed yesterday (Before Mr. KEE NE.) ELY-PLACE. Mr. Greathead claimed to be put on the register in re spect of a house he occupied in Ely-place. The poor-rates were unpaid. Mr. Greathead said that Ely-place, being extra paro chial, was no part of the liberty, but he had made his claim in it as being the adjoining one. He had never paid poor rates but under protest, and an attempt had been made to make him serve the office of constable, but the warrant had been dismissed. Ely-place was separate from Ely• rents ; and to show the extra-parochiality of the former, Mr. Greathead handed in the 10th George IV. cap. 44. Mr. Armstrong, the claimant in the last case, stated that the question had been tried by the parish, and the oc cupiers of Ely-place had paid him as the treasurer, 5001. for arrears of rates. Mr. Greathead was understood to say that he was no party to any agreement. Mr. KEENE said it must be shewn to him that Ely place was extra-parochial ; that it was not liable to any parish or township for the relief of the poor. He could not take the schedule of an act of Parliament, which was only a police act, as evidence of that fact. Mr. Greathead—Lord Mansfield and a special jury de cided sixty years ago that Ely-place was extra-paro chial. The conveyance of the whole property mentioned no parish, and he had the authority of the Secretary of State for saying that the Government had not yet made up their mind upon the subject. The parish but the other day had committed 'a trespass, and had been turned out. Mr. KEENE said it was evident the case was not like that of Lincoln's-inn, which had been decided the other day ; and until he had evidence that it was not liable for the payment of poor-rates, he must disallow the claim. Mr. Greathead remarked that as the question might come before a Committee of the House of Commons, be should always protest aginst the payment. of the poor-rates. LIBERTY OF GLASSHOUSE-YARD. There were nine objections on this list, seven of which were sustained in consequence of the parties not attending to support their claim, although the overseer said he had no doubt they were qualified. (Before Mr. FALCONER.) ST. ANDREW, HOLBORN. The only case worthy of notice before Mr. Far..coNEa was that of Mr. Cooke, of Marchmont-street, who produced all his receipts, but his name not appearing on the rate books, the claim was not admitted. The correction of the several lists having been made, the Court broke up. At this registration the Tories had three or four agents in each Court, and no opportunity was lost of taking ad vantage of any remissness on the part of the Reformers, who had no actual representative in either Court, Mr. Winch's objections being chiefly confined to his own parish. WEST KENT. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, FRIDAY.—This morning Messrs. TYNDAL and BOSANQUET, the Revising Barristers for the Western Division of Kent, held a Court of Registration for this district, at the Sussex Hotel, in the parish of Speld burst ; there were but nine objections altogether, and none of the cases were of interest. The Conservatives objected to 7 on the list, and sustained 2 ; and the Liberals objected to 2, and sustained 2. Nei ther of the parties, therefore, have gained any advantage. The Revising Barristers, on learning that there were no less than 103 objections in Tunbridge, arranged that they would go into as many as they could to-morrow (this day), and then adjourn the Court until after they concluded their circuit. It having been calculated that the business would be light, the Revising Barristers fixed only one day to go through the lists, and therefore residents in London who possess qualifications at Tunbridge, and who are objected to, will be put to the inconvenience of a second journey to maintain their right of voting ; this, however, is unavoidable, as the Barristers have fixed Monday to take the Seven Oaks' lists. Yesterday and the previous day the Barristers were oc cupied in revising the lists at Cranbrook, and the following is the result : Conservative objections... 64 Liberal objections 34 I Sustained '' Why did you quit your last place ?" said a gen tleman to his groom, who presented himself for the service of his cab, the other day ; " did Capt. R. discharge you ?" " No." " Was he a bad master ?" "On the contrary, a very good one ; gave good wages, plenty of liveries, and as much help in the stable as one could want." " Then why leave his service ?" "To say the truth, Sir, I found it very disagreeable in winter time at Melton. Capt. R. did not belong to the right club, or live in the first set, and then he was so very dull in the tilbury, I really could not stand it !" Early on Sunday morning Susan Log, a young woman of bad fame, who resided in the Castle-wynd, Grass market, was found by one of the night policemen floating in an upright position in the canal, between the first and second wooden bridges ; and from being missing, and other c ircumstances, it is supposed she must have been in the water for six or seven days. Her brother, a person also of bad eminence among the frequenters of the police-office here, was apprehended in Elgin on some charge of theft, which, it is suspected, will lead to his removal from the country ; and this circumstance, conspiring with intempe rance, is supposed to have produced a depression of spirits, which ended in her throwing herself into the canal.—Scots man. CRIMINA.L COURT.-FRIDAY. OLD COURT. William Smith, who was described as an optician, and who surrendered to take his trial, was indicted for having, between the Ist of January and the 14th of July last, caused the death of Benjamin Broadway, his apprentice, by not providing him with proper meat, drink, and suste nance or lodging. In another count the prisoner was charged with having kept the deceased, Benjamin Broad way, in an unwholesome room for six weeks, without ad ministering proper medical relief, he having been during that time labourinc , under a bowel complaint. The pri soner was charged upon a Coroner's warrant with feloni ously killing and slaying the deceased, the Jury having re turned a verdict of " Manslaughter." Mr. BODKIN (with whom was Mr. DOANE) appeared for the prosecution, and stated the facts of the case as they appeared in evidence. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The Jury found the prisoner Guilty on the first count, charging him with baying been guilty of starvation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Rainy, the Mendicity Society's constable, yesterday brought two men, in the regimental rags of the Spanish Legion, before Mr. CHAMBERS, and charged them with hay ing begged in the public streets. The defendants gave their names Day and Sheen, an d their demeanour was much superior to that which generally characterises the numerou s milit a ry scarecrows appre hended for similar offences. Mr. CHAMBERS—What brought you to London ? D a y —We came to look after the money due to us. I was in the Lancers, and afterwards was transferred to the Scotch regiment. I have two c er tifi ca t es , one entitling me to 111. cavalry gratuity, and th e o th er t o 91. When we were landed at Portsmouth we were given to understand the money would be paid on application to the Spanish Arp hes ' sador in London. We w en t th ere , b u t we have been un able to obtain a single farthing. I h av e been in every en gagement since the formati on o f th e L e gion, and myca valry certificate is signed by C o lon e l Wakefield. If I h a d the money due to me I should not be walking about ie this ragged and starving state. [Here the speaker was se m uch overcome that he shed tears.] Mr. CHAMBERS was informed that the man had formerly been in a very respe c t a ble station in life. He had be en i n , the Royal stables, and had at one time held the situati on et police sergeant in the N division. Mr. CHAMBERS—Wh), what could induce you to leave your occupation and go out to Spain ? Day—When I w as police scrjeant I was reported to the Commissioners, or having been found sitting down and asleep when on duty. Mr. Mayne sent for me and told me I had better resins", as I was getting into years, and the duties of police con stable appeared too much for me. I did resign, and bel out of employ, I thought I could d o so me good if I joins f the Legion ; but my present d es tit u t e s t a te is a proof o the good which can be effected by suc h a project. I he l d B• a situation for many years in the es t a bli s hment of S ir Bloomfield, now Lord Bloomfield, and I have no doubt I his Lordship had an opportunity he wo uld take me ag ai . ° into his service ; but I am asham e d t o show mys elf such a ragged condition to any one. If I had decent clothes I would go down to some relatives at Brighton, who are well off. if Mr. CHAMBERS—YOU!' friends will do more for you, of you go ragged to them, for they will see you have hee n , ;° , enough to make a bad guess, and th e y will e xert themselva_ with greater alacrity t o a ssi s t y ou . H owever , I cannot hav : you remaining about in this manner, in the wild-goose C' pectation of receiving your gratuity money ; a nd as I wan av send you to prison, you must promise you will find your yr to your own place of settlement. The Mendicity constable said the Society had relieved, in one shape or other, between 500 and 600 of the Legin a r As many us ten each day for some time had received retie: in either money or food. This great tax on the funds ha ° , induced the Society to make inquiry into the probability .fi°: the men obtaining the money they appeared by the cer, t . l cates to be entitled to ; but the Soci e ty could learn notninl. satisfactory. In fact, the inquiry almost stifled the hope ° the men ever being paid. Day having mentioned that he was known to Sir Nlattluir Tierney, Mr. Chambers told him he believed that gent.se man was in town, and in order to give him an opportuo ty of ascertaining the fact he would discharge him• Sheen, when asked for his certificate, said it was pounded for 18s,, which had been advanced on it in the; shape of food and lodging. Mr. CHAMBERS told the men to go and make i n quiry re' specting Sir M. Tierney, and then to return to the office , and he would assist them out of the poor box. The men expressed their gratitude, and left Use office' QUEEN-SQUARE. Two women, named Mary Duke, a prostitute, and Bai tholoinew, the keeper of a brothel, were pla ce d at g'"" bar, charged with illegally possessing a very valuable eanle ° broach, and offering the same for pledge at the shop of DIP Harding, York -street, Westminster. It appeared that the first-named prisoner went into Mr• Harding's shop to pledge the article in question for is. evidently ignorant of its value, and on being questioned gave such evasive answers as induced the pawnbroker to give her into custody. Before the Magistrate she itol 3l ' cated Bartholomew, who was placed at the bar by her side , and neither being able satisfactorily to account for the Ps' session, the Magistrate remanded them both till Tuesday. On Wednesday afternoon another of those fatal and frightful accidents which have been so frequent on th© va rious lines of railroad occurred on the works now in p rog l s , between Hanwell and Ealing for the Great Wester n fta road. About five o'clock, as a boy about 14 years of rent' named James Leake, whose parents reside at Old 13ren ford, was following his employ as driver of a train of tb re a, waggons, laden with gravel, his foot accidentally sliPPen, when, before the train could be stopped, one of the %Age - , passed over him and killed him on the spot. The'rernl:f present a most frightful and sickening spectacle, the 1 1 1 1 ' his head, from the lower part of the forehead, being en t ' r % separated, and on examining the hat it was found to c 0 tell the unfortunate lad's brains, the skull being left conlPl et ,, l e empty. The left leg and one of his arms are lik e S e° t broken. On the information of the melancholy si cl : s ° reaching Brentford the parents of the deceased we fits, affected that the mother had a succession of faintig and remains in a very precarious state.
