SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC .JOURNALS The Tories pretend to be great lovers of the Con stitution ; but they constantly discover, both by their deeds and words, that they are attached, not to the advantages of the Constitution, but to the abuses which Reform has still left in it. When pushed hard they declare themselves attached to the Reform Bill; but they are every no and then allowing it to appear that they consider the Reform Bill a great evil. Thus, for instance, in the Times of yesterday, we are told that " Democracy, inflamed and bloated up by a con fidence in its own strength, derived from a long series of successful encroachments upon the institutions of the monarchy within the last seven nears, has dreamed of nothing but an entire overthrow of every obstacle between itself and a republic." Let us pause to in quire what is meant by successful encroachments upon the institutions of the Monarchy within the last seven years ? All the reform , then, within the last seven years are encroachments upon the institutions of the Monarchy, and unconstitutional in their tendency The old boroughmongering Parliament—the old cor upt corporations—were the beau-ideal of Monarchical institutions. The reforms, as far as they have gone, are evils in Tory eyes, and they are quite consistent in opposing themselves to all further Reform. " A stand has been made (quoth the Times), indeed we may with truth say, a triumph has been achieved by the legitimate, the constitutional, and conservative principle of this country, more de cisive and extraordinary than the annals of this coun try had ever before cause to boast of." This suc cessful stand reminds us of Lord Eldon's account of the advantages derived from the revolutionary war— "we have gained all that we have not lost." The abuses in Church and State being what is alone valu able in the eyes of the Tories, every successful stand in favour of an abuse is a subject of , exultation. Ire land has been kept in a state of feverish agitation. This is a glorious triumph She is still without Muni cipal Reform. How consolatory the idea ! If every a.lvance in the way of reform within the last seven yeas be an evil, to retrograde is necessarily a good. The Tories, therefore, with perfect justice, account the King of Hanover their chief; for in principle they are identified with him. The King of Hanover con siders the constitutional reforms in Hanover w ithin the last seven years ruinous encroachments; and having, as he thinks (though he may find himself mistaken), the power, he does not scruple to trample on the Constitution. The Tories, deeming as they do the Reform Bill a mischievous encroach ment, must be as much inclined to repeal it as King Ernest was inclined to destroy the Hanover Re form Bill ; but they may doubt the expediency of attempting to give effect to their inclinations. Mr. Hume was, therefore, quite justified in declaring yes terday at Brentford that " the Duke of Cumberland has always been the head of the Tories, and they le joke in his support. His principles have always been theirs, and he has endeavoured to carry them out by the abolition of the liberties of the people of Hanover. If you elect the two Tories who are our opponents, you elect men who are opposed to reform, to civil and religious liberty, to her Majesty's Government and to her Majesty's principles. Elect them, and they will carry out the- Duke of Cumberland's system in Eng land whenever they can." They cannot, we flatter ourselves, carry out the Cumberland system in England; but it is because they cannot that they do not make the attempt. The principal of Toryism is to govern by fraud. Virtual representation is what they admir!. The nets constituencies are encroachments on the Tors Constitution, which is most perfect whe:i there is no independent suffrage, but a few poor and venal voters to he purchased. The Reform Bill has added prodi giously to the difficulties of the Tories, by increasing the expense of making the representation virtual. We refer our readers for an illustration to a letter in an other coluam from " An Elector of the City of Nor wich," detailing the shameful acts of bribery which have taken place in that borough. " Such (says the writer) was the venality of a great portion of the elec tors, that many of them, having' taken large bribes, sent the cash back with a reason, viz., they had made a better price of themselves,' whilst others, less honourable, have taken bribes from each party, some su the tune of 30/., 40/., and I believe 501., without making either a single or double return. Such was the state of time poll at 3 o'clock that it was impossible to say which party would win, but, to make sure, it la confidently asserted that the last twelve votes which turned the scale in favour of the Tories, they purchased at 1,2001., making (from the best in formation) their election an expensive one, not being less than 20,0001." Indeed, the report is, that the last man polled by the Tories cost them the sum of 1351. The Duke of Wellington generally receives credit for a considerable share of common sense, and we must therefore suppose his attachment to the sys tem of virtual representation to be yet as strong as ever, when he enables the Marquis of Douro to spend a fortune in the purchase of the venal freemen of Norwich. This is paying a good deal for the whistle. And, after all, the Tories may exclaim, like King Pyrrhus, against their ruinous triumphs. The Reform candidates seldom have recourse to bribery ; for their principles are the unbiassed principles of the people. But the Tories have to buy their way against the people. Let us suppose that by successive elec tions they even at last come to reduce by purchase the majority into an equality, they cannot then take the government. There would still be a struggle to come ; and that struggle would be to them tremen dously expensive. Aft e r all the open tyranny of King Ernest of Hanover, brutal as it is, is hardly more foolish than the system of defeating the object of the Reform Bill by intimidation and corruption.— Morning Chronicle. The election for Middlesex comes on within 48 hours. Those who enjoyed the gratifying spectacle of the nomination yesterday at Brentford, will have already formed a pretty clear idea of the political feeling which prevails throughout the county, and of the dismal pros pect which awaits Mr. Joseph Hume and Co., should that feeling be honestly expressed by the free voice of the electors. The cavalcade which accompanied Messrs. Wood and Pownall to the hustings, the friends who received them there, and those who returned with them to town, was composed of hundreds of gen tlemen in carriages and on horseback—a fair sample of the class, as to intelligence and station, whose senti ments it would be an honour to the first men in Eng land to speak from the floor of the House of Com mons. But miserable was the attendance upon the un gracious and pinching Joseph. Eminently mean and scanty was his muster-roll. Even numbers failed this vulgar arithmetician—failed him to such a degree, that smutty fingers enough could not be found in all the purlieus of Brentford to justify the Sheriff—(albeit a Radical, and therefore a homogeneous spirit)—in running the risk of a colourable declaration that the " show of hands" was for Hume and Byng. No, instead of the slightest symptom—whether ocular or uproarious—of even rabble popularity on behalf of pinch-gut and his poor time-worn de pendent, the whole air-built edifice of Hume seemed to be as starved, desolate, and repulsive as his own meagre and inhospitable spirit. The " show," therefore, being manifestly in favour of the Conserva tive candidates, it was at once declared to be so by the returning officer, and a poll—that is, an appeal from the people generally, to whatever strength he could poke out for himself, by fair means or foul—was de manded on behalf of (no longer " Middlesex") Joseph. We did learn, indeed, though without desiring to be lieve it, that a certain official personage was heard to nuitter something tantamount to a wish that " the h:i!lot had existed," inasmuch as, in that case, there might have been some hope that the indication of the show of hands would not be confirmed by the poll-books —a curious passage, if authenticated, in the history of a reformed Sheriff. What, however, does all this dis play—glittering, we acknowledge—animating and en conrag'llg, nobody can deny:--demonstrative of m en ' s inclinations there is no 2 ,rains3ying—what does it all portend ? What does it promise? What is it worth We answer, although it promises much, that without being actively and energetically followed up, it is worth just nothing. Nay, the more it undertakes for, the less is its teal value, until it actually becomes a down : - 11 insult to the whole Conservative spirit of the nation, and a positive outrage upon all truth and honesty, if the support thus tendered--if the pledges thus recorded—if the hopes thus raised in the minds of loyal men, and the fears thus stricken into the heart of the Queen's enemies, be not fully and effec tually " carried out" (according to their own jargon), and realized, on the part of the Middlesek freeholders, by their strenuous and indefatigable efforts to give Messrs. Wood and Pownall a large majority, and at an early hour of each day's poll to return them for the county by a manifestation of the public voice so em phatic and so general, as to save us for years to come from all disturbance from the side of republicanism or irreligion, and thus prove, that if Middlesex had not been fortunate enough to show a good example to other counties, she at least has decency enough to follow the good example which a large majority of the most impor tant counties in the kingdom have long since set her. We cannot conceal from our Conservative fellow-sub jects, that the sluggishness and inefficiency which have been so conspicuous throughout the whole course of the metropolitan elections, with the single and admirable exception of Greenwich, have tended seriously to lower the estimation of the Conservative principle, as though it were one the duties prescribed by which could be sa tisfied at the cheap rate of words and professions, re quiring no test of manly sacrifice, or generous self-de nial. The vilest of mankind can boast of what they are disposed to do, and it is one characteristic of the utterly worthless to inspire expectations which they never mean to fulfil. The electors of Westminster _ _ and the boroughs have put those of the Metropolitan County on their trial. If the latter fail to discharge their obligations to the people of England, by keeping their engag2ments to Messrs. Wood and Pownall, which engagements have for their object to rescue Middlesex from the grinding dominion of a low and heartless usurper, those electors are guilty of the grossest perfidy. What some of them will be most severely touched by, they practise the most evident impolicy against their own selfish interests, for let them assure themselves that it is not on the cards for the present Ministers by any possibility, with such a Pailiament, as the present now must be, to carry on the Government of the Empire for three months after the ensuing Session shall hare been opened. We say the thing is flatly and utterly impossible. Where, then, we beg to ask—where are your trimmers then ? Where, in such a case, are your corrupt or pusillanimous falsifyers of the plighted word ? Where are the grand hopes which they had been told by their deceivers to indulge of Whig-O'Connell " patronage" —of Whig-O'Connell " custom ?" Where is the stability of Whig-O'Connell power, which alone could give effect to the intimidation of voters, as the penalty for keeping their words ? Why, all such things are scattered to the winds of heaven, and nought re mains of those bland seductions or awful threatenings, to either or both of which the nerveless and unprinci pled among this great constituency had yielded, but a barren seed of conscious and unpaid rascality. We say that a brief period may—ay, must—make good this assertion of the transient tenure by virtue of which the John Russell Cabinet still holds on to office. We tell the electurs in Middlesex and else-. where, that those who attempt to eorrupt them will not in one case out of an hundred be able to complete their bargain—that those who menace them with offi cial vengeance will, before many weeks have expired, be able to realize their threats. We tell them that now, as ever, " honesty is the best policy," and that treachery is of all things the most thriftless.—Times. The elections Still proceed prosperously, as will be seen by reference to the exclusive intelligence in this day's Mornin g Advertiser. At this late hour in the m orning it will he impossible to give a correct analysis of the whole ad.litional gain to the popular cause, which may justifiably be added to the result of the careful summary which we laid before our readers yes terday. But three new triumphs may be specially re corded. We may in general terms assert that the people continue not only to '' hold their own," but to add new acquisitions to those which they have so per severingly, and honourably to themselves, obtained. The Tory party have said, " Wait till the result of the county elections be known." We reply—the Scotch and Imieh elections are now beginning ; wait till their results are known. We believe that an accession of strength of more than 20 to the popular party, and consequently to the popular Ministry which represent it, may be fairly calculated upon in those two quarters of the United Kingdom. It is not a mere barren triumph which the people have obtained where ever they have won die victory ; but they have established indisputably this fact—that the rgence, the independence, the commercial in dust y and the property of the country, are decided!y in their favour. Look to London and the metropolitan districts ! Look to Manchester ! Look to Birming ham ! Look to Leeds ! Wherever commercial in dustry, commercial affluence, and commercial capital constitute time chief ingredients of the constituency, there the people are certain of a triumph. The great commercial towns—the names of the richest bankers, and the most eminent merchants arrayed on the side of the people against Toryism, is an ample answer to the noisy alarmists who bellow' their thrice defeated sophistries on the subject of revolution and demo cracy. Wherever poverty prevails in a constituency —wherever ignorance is the comate of political de pendence—there Toryism obtains an advantage— there its corrupt influence comes into play — there the mildewed seeds of bribery and intimidation are enabled to produce their fatal harvest of political mischief and social demoralization. We trust we shall hear no more (after the disgusting exposure of bare faced corruption in all parts of the kingdom) of the trite and faithless arguments put forward against the necessity of the Ballot. The necessity of the Ballot is fully proved by the necessity of freeing the country from the effects of a flood of corruption, which, if allowed to proceed, will convert it into a political swamp of moral putrefaction. The necessity is proved by the too-visible fact that the Queen's cause, and that of the Ministry, would have been doubly strengthened if Mr. Grote's motion (which all but passed the Com mons) had had the good fortune to have been conso lidated into a law. Instances of bribery of which we have heard, and which are at once ludicrous and exe crable, might have been avoided. In Liverpool elec tors were made drunk overnight, and locked up, in order to be secured from competition, and driven like a herd of swine next morning to the hustings. In Hull, so over-anxious was the cause of corruption, that packets containing ten sovereigns were put by mistake into the hands of many townsmen who were not elec tors. These things will at all events produce this good—that they will bring every honourable opponent of the Ballot to the conviction that nothing else will save the character of the country from irredeemable degradation, and the ark of liberty from irrecoverable shipwreck. See what an ally the Ballot would have been ! Were the Ballot superseded in France, said Mr. Tocqueville, in the Committee on bribery at elections, the Court and privileged influence would gain consi derably, and the popular influence would suffer pro portionately. Mr. Tocqueville's statement applies with admonitory force to the present elections. It is clear to us that the popular members returned would have been greatly increased if the Ballot had frustrated the machinations of Tory desperation by rendering cor ruption useless. We ask, are we right or mong in that calculation ?.--Morning Advertiser. The conduct of the Whig-Radicals in the elec tions exhibits, in a strong light, the hateful vice of fac tion. Faction is blind and stupid, headlong and ob stinate. It refuses to be taught by experience :it mistakes words for things ; it sacrifices truth and ho nesty, equity and justice, to the gratification of a wbipartiality for a sound or a colour. Upon noonrierto the ground could the party which entitles itself the party of the Reformers have proceeded as it has done within the last week. It was obvious that the reformed House of Commons had disappointed the country. It was obvious that neither in talent for discussion, nor in tact for the dispatch of business, had the reformed House shown any superiority over the representatives chosen under a defective system ; yet no notice seems to have been taken of that disappoint ment, nor any means resorted to of remedying - so pal pable an evil.

We know that a great deal of time was spent upon a Bill for creating establishments which Mr. O'Connell calls " Normal schools for agitation in Ireland." We know that there was a vast deal of idle debate upon motions which every body was aware would lead to nothing, about altering the constitu fon of both Houses of Parliament ; but we do not know of any creditable attempt being made during those five months and a half, to impart, upon a bold and noble scale, fresh vigour, justice, and humanity into our policy, foreign or domestic. We do not know of any step taken by those persons called by their own party Reform Members, to elevate the character or enlarge the liberties of the people—to make the nation more virtuous at home, and more respected abroad. Under such circumstances it was to be expected that the people, and especially those who seek to distinguish themselves as friends of Reform, would bear in mind the neglect or the inefficiency of their representatives, and no longer be cajoled by persons who could not, or would not, properly discharge the public duties to which they were appointed. The soi-disant " friends of Reform" have not done so, but they have done all that in them lies to give the country another House of Commons as stupid, as ineffectual, and as presump tuous as the last. Thus do people neglect, and throw away, the political advantages which have been placed in their hands, when they are blinded by faction.— iforning Herald. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. For the last four or five weeks considerable excitement has existed in the neighbourhood of the Edgware-road, from the mysterious disappearance of a respgetable female, named Mary Stansbury, the wife of Mr. Stansbury, a baker, residing at No. 7, John-street, Edgeware-road, whose extraordinary absence has occasioned the greatest alarm for her . safety. It appears that on the afternoon of Monday, the Ist of May last, Mrs. Stansbury left her home, accompanied by her servant, Eliza Colebury, for the purpose of visiting her brother, who resides in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, saying she should be home before 11 o'clock. About 9 o'clock the servant returned home, and informed Mr. Stansbury that her mis tress had desired her to do so, and said she would return by an omnibus. Not returning, however, by 12 o'clock, Mr. Stansbury became alarmed for her safety, but his fears were allayed by the servant saying it was probable she was staying at her brother's, whose children were very ' ill. The next morning Mr. Stansbury went to his brother in-law's, when he was astonished to find that his wife had not been there at all. He instantly returned home, and questioned Eliza Colebury, the servant, as to her state ment of the previous night, when she acknowledged that it was incorrect, but said that she had somehow or other missed Mrs.Stansbury while walking along, and after losing three hours in searching for her, had returned home and batched up the above story to account for her absence. Mr. Stansbury immediately lost no time in giving informa tion of the circumstances at the various police-offices and station-houses, but without obtaining any information re specting her. The servant was then most closely interro gated as to what part of the town she first missed her mis tress in, when she made so many contradictory statements, that she was threatened to be given into custody. Before, however, that could he done, she succeeded in hanging her self in the kitchen, and when discovered, life was quite ex tinct. From that time Mr. Stansbury and his relatives have been indefatigable in their endeavours to trace the unfortunate woman, but up to the present moment not the slightest tidings respecting her have h!en obtained. So strongly is the impression on the mind of Mr. Stansbury that his wife has met her death by unfair means, that it has incapacitated him from attending to his business, which he has consequently given up, and it has so operated on his mind, that he is constantly wandering about town and the suburbs in hopes of obtaining some intelligence of her. Mrs. Stansbury is described as being a remarkably fine looking woman, rather above the middle stature, fresh coloured, light hair, and blue eyes. She was dressed, when she left home, in a dark merino dress, a large black silk cloak, and a plum-coloured silk bonnet. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for closing the buiniess on the paper. Mr. R. JONES, the Chairman of the London Bridge Committee, brought up the Report cf the Committee, which stated that the Chamberlain having, in pursuance of the Acts of Parliament relative to London Bridge and its approaches, laid before them a statement of the surplus of the usual duties and payments of the approaches fixed for the quarter ending the .sth.of July, 1837, and it appearing that the sum which might be applied in discharge of further parts of the loan raised in pursuance of the Act was 21,300/., the Committee was of opinion that the Chamber lain should be directed to take the proper measures for ap plying that sum accordingly, and tti . give the necessary no tices in the manner provided by the Act. The CitataltAN stated that by the skilful management of the Committee nearly a quarter of a million of this debt had been paid off within the last seven years, and it was expected that in the course of fourteen or fifteen years the whole debt would be discharged. The Court then adjourned at an early hour, in order that the Lord Mayor might wait upon the Queen, to invite her Majesty to dine at Guildhall. Thq Queen appointed the 9th of November for the en tertainment. TRAGICAL EVENT. Recent letters from Sardinia speak of a tragical event of which that island has lately been the theatre. The de scendant of the ancient Sovereigns of the island, a young man, about twenty years of age, the last scion of the illus trious house of Villa Hermosa, had, it appears, conceived a passion for a young girl of plebeian extraction. He had for some time continued his assiduities to her, and rumour began to ascribe to him better chances of success perhaps than he really possessed, when one morning his servants brought him the cloak of a fisherman which had been found fixed in the pannel of his door by the blade of a poniard. The young Nobleman understood the signal—it was a ven detta, of which fair warning was thus given him, and his grandfather, with whom he resided, prevailed on him for some day s not to leave the house unattended. Tile young Count of Villa Hermosa, however, was too brave and proud long to submit to these fatiguing precautions. He declared his determination to go out in the same unrestrained manner as formerly, and he did so. At night he met the rival who had planted the poniard and mantle at the door of his hotel. What passed between them is not known, but it has been as certained that the body of the fisherman was carried by the Count to the beach, and there concealed under a heap of stones. The Count now paid his addresses to the young girl as freely as before, to the astonishment of those who knew the history of the poniard, and who fully expected some signal act of vengeance. Meanwhile the family of the fisherman who had disappeared, entertaining some suspicions of the truth, began to search for the body. It was found, and, among the stones under which it was concealed, was also found a seal-ring, on which were en graved the arms of the Count. The ring had probably slipped from his finger while he was engaged in his deed of darkness. The body was immediately conveyed to the house of a magistrate, and the ring which had been found was produced. An investigation commenced, and the proofs against the Count were so strong that he was found guilty of murder, and condemned to death. The sentence was submitted to the King for confirmation. Charles Al bert was anxious if possible to save the last scion of a royal race, and accordingly caused a communication to be made to the grandfather, that if he applied for mercy it would probably not be withheld. The answer of the old Spaniard was, that, having to choose between justice and his own blood, he could not hesitate to decide in favour of the former. The young Count de Villa Hermosa has since been beheaded. NEW POOR LAw.—l have no hesitation (declares Lord Western in the letter we noticed on Saturday) in saying the direst necessity existed for the adoption of such a measure as the New Poor Law Bill, and that in principle, and I be lieve in most of its enactments, it was the best and wisest mea sure that ever emanated from any legislative assembly. It has redeemed society from a state of demoralization and degrada tion in which it had sunk to a formidable degree, and was sinking still further and more rapidly ; all the best feelings of our nature, the noblest motives to action, were undermined by the old system ; all those incitements to honourable, generous, and independent exertions were falling fast under the baneful influence of the old poor laws ; the dictates of prudence and forethought, which are instinctively planted in us, were in pro gress of being eradicated. To speak of this or that provision in detail, which nay operate more hardly in some cases than was expected, is perfect nonsense ; where such occurs, is it possible to believe that a remedy would not be adopted with pleasure by every advocate of the measure—not, certainly, an acquiescence in every project which the enemies of the law and of the Ministers put forth to defeat the Bill, but every re lief requisite and practicable would be hailed with delight. Upon this important topic let me make an observation, or ra ther draw an inference decisive of the calumnious charge against Ministars, of a tendency to democracy and subversion of the monarchical and aristocratical powers of the Constitu tion_l say it is a foul, because an unfounded charge, and this measure proves it ; instead of courting, deceiving, flattering, cringing to the lower class of the people, they have shown a I determination to do everything calculated to benefit them, at the hazard, aye, even at the certainty of displeasing a great proportion of them, and at the certainty also of giving to the iv minded of their opponents an opportunity of wielding a po pular sword against them. We understand that the fishing has commenced on the east coasts, with every prospect of an abundant take. The Rosehearty boats, which, as usual have taken the lead, had on Monday night last no less than 650 crans, being an ave rage of above fourteen crane to each of the forty-six boats engaged. Some of them had as high as twenty-five crans. The town presents an animated appearance, from the bustle and activity consequent on such an abundant fishing so early ) in the season.—Scotsman. DUEL AT A CAFE AT POITIERS. 'l: he doors were closed, and the swords brought. The two adversaries cast lots for them, and then pulled off their coats and waistcoats, and unbuttoned their shirts to show that they had nothing under. Both then took their swords. The officer wrapt round his hand a handkerchief, leaving both ends dangling. Alfonse neglected this practice, the object of which was to distract the attention of the ad versary by the perpetual flutter of their two white points, thus to turn away his attention from the sword. But Al fonse had a manner of fighting of his own, and cared little for these petty proceedings. lie never looked at the steel ; but fixing his eye on that of his antagonist, anticipated every motion that he made. The two wrestlers, or gladiators, got on the billiard-table together, and, accord ing to the terms or conditions agreed on between the students and the officers, rested their swords on the toes of their boots. A traveller from a commercial house who hap pened to be present, and could have no interest in the scene other than what its novelty excited, was fixed on to clap his hands three times, and at the third the swords were upraised in the air, and the two combatants came to guard. A terrible silence reigned through the room, and for some seconds it was only broken by the clashing of the steel ; for both par ties, as they skirmished, were well aware that a single faux pas was death. The slightest stepping back, shrinking of the body, or leaping on one side, must inevitably prove fatal. The officer was a head and shoulders taller than Alfonse, and looked as though he could crush him ; but he little heeded this advantage, if advantage it was, for he by degrees lowered his body till he was rigt under the sword of his foe, and almost bent himself down upon the bed of the table. No other change in his attitude then took place. All at once the officer, taking this posture for the effect of fear, made a furious lunge, which was parried with the greatest sang fi old and skill, and Alfonse allowed the officer to return to his ground without attempting to return it. His adversary was deceived by this sort of timid defence, and, become more adventurous, attacked him again with increased fury—so much so, that, thrown off his guard, his left foot quitted the cushion of the table, against which it had been fixed. Then it was that Alfonse made a rapid lunge at the officer's face. He endeavoured to regain the ground he had lost, to resume his position. The student would not give him time, and charged with impetuosity his disconcerted enemy, who could only avoid his thrust by keepingthe ta his body bent backwards. Alfonse force d him to the edge of ble, when his foot tripped, and at that moment drove the sword up to the hilt in his heart. The unhappy officer cried out, Hit! hit !" Then he raised himself to his full height and then tell backwards from the top of the table to the floor. Awful was the sound that the weight of that body made upon the boards of the room ! There was mixed up with it a feeling—a dread lest the dead man should hurt himself in falling. Never did I see, for I was present, so dreadful a contest ! Never did I experience anything so frightful as the silence of those two men—as the flashing of their swords by the light of the lamps—as the fall of the vanquished— who, disappearing behind the table, seemed at once to have been engulfed in a tomb that opened from behind to receive him !—Bentley's Miscellany. ----------- It is upwards of thirty years since M. Garnerin, the aeronaut, descended with a parachute attached to a balloon, and passed over the north part of Westminster and Maryle bone. He enlarged himself when floating over Welling's farm, and came down in a field East of the Jew's Harp tavern. When he separated from the balloon, he was more than the height of the ball of St. Paul's Cathedral, and then the sudden rise of the balloon made the parachute appear as if descending to the earth with frightful rapidity, and what added to the ter ror' of the spectators was, the parachute for some time was col lapsed, before it expanded like an umbrella, and the car , ap peared to undulate, and during the vibration it was thought that the aeronaut would be thrown out ; but Garnerin after wards said, this was a deception of the vision arising from - the undulating of the parachute only. When it expanded, he came down gradually in the field, but dreadfully exhausted, bleeding, at the nose and at both ears. The first who arrived to his as sistance was the late Rev. Sir Bate Dudley, who was or, horseback, and soon after the writer of this article came to his assistance with several others. When he released himself from the balloon, there was a general shriek from the crowd, which was immense, and who supposed him to have been killed by the fall. He was indisposed for about three days ; but then cfradually recovered from the experiment. Had the unfortu nate Mr. Cocking consulted any person who had witnessed th e descent of M. Garnerin, of the dreadful suffering and the prostration of strength of the latter, when he reached the earth bleeding, Mr. Cocking would have paused, at least, if not re linquished his fatal experiment in descending with a para chute, by which he was deprived of his existence. As we never for a moment doubted the easy return of our two old and highly respected members, there is really no occasion for triumph in the result of the election. Ve may just mention, however, as an encouragement and ex zirni:le to other places, that the majority of Mr. Poulett Thomson over the Tory candidate was no less than 1,867, and that of Mr. Philips 1,469 ; being in each case many hundreds more than on any former occasion. No wonder the Tories were unable to find a candidate who would consent to come forward in propria pers ona , w h en suc h wit s tha hopeful pros pect that awa i ted the enterprise.—Manchester Guardian. POLICE GENCE GUILDHALL._ Yesterday liyacinWioswinski, a Polish refugee, was charged with having severely assaulted Edward Davey, a cab-driver, with a stick, the head of which was loaded with iron. Davey stated that on Saturday evening Dr. Ryan and another gentleman got into his cab at Bloomsbury, and ordered him to drive towards Hatton-garden. On reach ing Brook-street, in Holborn, they ordered him to drive up there, and as he was entering the street two or three ladies persisted in crossing before the horse, and compelled him to pull up short. As soon as he had started again the pri soner endeavoured to cross also, and rushed against the horse's head. He did not get by, and retreating a few steps he struck the horse a violent blow with the stick be hind the ear. The blow was given with the iron nob at one end of the stick, and the horse would have fallen down if witness had not held him up very hard. Witness cried out, " You brute, what are you doing there," and gave him a lash with the whip, which so enraged the prisoner that he foamed and stamped, and, running towards him, struck at him with the stick five or six times. The first blow cut witness's hand ; the next he thought had broken his arm. He was obliged to go to the hospital to get it dressed, and should be unable to follow his calling for some time to come. He put in a letter from Dr. Ryan, testifying that no blame was attachable to the cabman in this affair ; that he was going at a slow rate, and called out to the persons who were about to cross. W. Rait, a patrol, also spoke of the furious manner in which the prisones attacked the cabman. The prisoner explained that he was a Pole, living on the bounty of the country. H is pension was 2/. per month. The complainant had aggravated him by hitting him like a horse. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON and Mr. Alderman HARMER baying consulted together agreed to imprison the defen dant one month, unless be paid a fine of 50s. The prisoner paid the fine and was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Patrick Flanigan, a raw-boned Irishman, was brought from the station-house, in the custody of Ser geant Dodd, No. 9, E division, charged with having at tempted to murder Mary Flanigan, his wife. It appeared from the evidence of Dodd that yesterday morning, about half-past two o'clock, he eras in George street, St. Giles's, when his attention was attracted by a noise in the house of the prisoner, who keeps a chandler's shop. On proceeding thither he heard the prisoner making use of horrid imprecations, and threatening to-have his wife's life. On peeping through into the shop he perceived him flourishing a stick over her head, and beating the place. The noise and confusion continued for some time, when witness heard the cries of " Murder" from a female voice, on which he entered the house, and on proceeding to the yard he disco vered the prisoner's wife in a water butt, containing 25 pails full of water. She was completely immersed, with the ex ception of her legs above her knees. Oa questioning the prisoner, he exclaimed, " Oh, by —, let her be there—it will do her good." Witness got her out of the water and laid her on her back, she being quite insensible. The priso ner then said, " Let her lie there and drain," or words to that effect ; and witness was about to take him to the sta tion-house, when he resisted him violently, but he suc ceeded in taking him to the station-house, and after his wife was properly attended to, and being restored to her senses, she refused to appear against him, and he was liberated, ' when the prisoner returned home. At about half-past four o'clock witness was passing by the house of the prisoner, when his attention was again arrested by faint cries of mur der, when he again entered the place, and found him and his wife in bed, and he was pressing her on the throat, as if to suffocate her, when he took him to the station-house, and his wife attended, and charged him with " assaulting her so as to endanger her life," and he was detained and lacked up till the morning. At the station-house the wife and another female stated that the prisoner put his wife into the water-butt, and the latter said that she saw the act performed by him, but they were not now in attendance to give evidence. Whilst in the station-house, he swore re peatedly that he would have her life. Mr. LAING asked him what he had to say to the charge ? The prisoner, whose face was scratched, said that his wife and him had a quarrel and they fought, when she fell into the butt in trying to avoid him. He did not mean to do her any harm. Mr. LAING—Do you mean to say there is no harm in attempting to strangle her and drown her. It is lucky for you that you are not standing there on a charge of mur der. As it is, I shall order you to put in heavy bail for your future appearance, and you must give 24 hours no- tice of it. Sergeant Dodd assured Mr. Laing that the wife and wo• man alluded to stated positively that the prisoner forced her into the water, and it was strange that they had not appeared against him. The prisoner appeared very agitated, and begged hard for forgiveness, saying he meant no harm. Mr. LAING would not part with him so easily, and said that the wife and the woman alluded to should be brought forward to give evidence, and summonses were issued and placed in the hands of the officer to compel their attendance, and the prisoner was detained and locked up until they could be brought forward. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday four athletic fellows, named John M'Guire, Frederick Kirkham, John Clements, and William Pettifer, were placed at the bar, before Messrs. RAWLINSON and SHUTT, charged with the following unprovoked and brutal attack on several police constables and others : Folic, Constable Daniel Morgan, D 38, whose head was covered with adhesive plaster, stated that about eight o'clock on Saturday evening he was on duty in William street, Lisson-grove, when a man came up to him and said that he had been robbed of a coat and a piece of mutton, and that the thief was in the Marquis of An glesea public-house, at the corner. Witness went with him thither, and saw the prisoners, one of whom, the man M'Guire, was pointed out as the offender. Witness went up to him and told him he must accompany him to the sta tion-house ; in reply to which he said, " I'll see you --- first," and at the same time struck him a terrific blow in the face, which felled him to the ground. He then rose again and pulled out his staff, which the prisoner wrenched from him, and with it struck him a tremendous blow on the head, which again knocked him down, out side the door. The prisoner the n hit him and kicked him then Police liacned Constable aD l s o 7 k 3 i , ek c e a d me lurn up . Just and was kicked so severely by the prisoner M'Guire that he was h other prisonersß t t tai o, obliged to be removed to the hospital. Witness, for the third time, laid h old of M'Guire, when Kirkham said if he had a knife, he would cut his guts through before he should have him. M'Guire got away and ran off, but was afterwards secured. Police-constable Farroby, D, 138, said he saw his brother constables knocked down by M'Guire, and on going up was himself knocked down by Clements, and, while down, kicked by M'Guire, and also very much bitten by him. Several other constables who had received injuries bore testimony to the outrageous conduct of the prisoners. Edwin Owen Baxter, of No. 32, William -street, said he was passing near the spot and saw the prisoner M'Guire running away ; he stopped him, when the prisoner said— " Oh, let me go, its only a row with the Peelers." Witness refused, and the prisoner struck him in the face. He still kept his hold, and some of the prisoners knocked off his hat (which he has;not since recovered). Shortly after wards other policemen came up, and the prisoners were se cured. Mr. RAWLINSON said it was a most murderous attack, and could not be dealt with as it deserved there. They were accordingly committed for trial, with an in timation that forty-eight hours' notice of bail, themselves in 501. each, and two sureties in 251. each, would, if approved of, be accepted for their liberation till the next sessions. In default they were committed. THAMES POLICE. ATTEMPT TO DROWN ♦ BOY.—Yesterday a waterman named Richard Harwood, of Woolwich, was brought be fore Mr. BRODERIP and Mr. COlf BE, charged with com mitting a violent assault on a youth named Robert Hen drick Goddard, the son of a respectable tradesman, and at tempting to drown him. Th• prisoner was convicted on Saturday in the penalty of 51. by Mr. BRODERIP and Mr. GREENWOOD for the assault in question, but the latter gentleman not having been able to qualify for Kent since the death of his late Majesty, the judgment was suspended until yesterday, and the case was again heard. It appeared from the evidence that th• complainant possessed a boat, a small dingy, twelve feet long, which he kept alongside Mr. Koff's wharf, at Woolwich. On Tuesday last the complainant saw the pri soner in his boat, towing his own, and supposing it to be in danger, he asked Harwood to get out of it, which he refused to do. Young Goddard then engaged a waterman, named Crout, to put him on board, which was done, and the prisoner was again requested to leave the dingy. The prisoner refused, and knocked down the lad against the thwart of his own boat. Goddard soon recovered himself, and the prisoner seized him by the collar, and using dread ful imprecations swore he would drown him. A scuffle en sued between them, and the prisoner laid hold of the pro secutor, and forced him over the side of the boat into the water, swearing he would drown him like a dog, The boy held on by the prisoner's collar, and saved himself. He recovered himself again, and the prisoner repeated his at tempt to drown the lad, exclaiming, " You --, sink you like a dog." Goddard held on by the gunwale of the boat, with one leg in the water and the other out, and he must have inevitably perished had not another waterman hauled him away, and dragged him into his boat in a most exhausted state, Mr. R. M. Goddard, sen., confirmed the evidence of his son, and stated that some persons came to his house and told him that Harwood was drowning his son. He re paired to the spot, and saw Harwood forcing the lad into tl-e water, and swearing he would drown him like a dog. There were fourteen feet of water at the place, and his son was nearly gone. The defendant afterwards came upon the wharf to which the witness belonged, and swore he would drown the boy some day or other, and used language of the most horrible description. Mr. Goddard added that Harwood was a most determined ruffian, and had used such threats that he was really afraid of his life. Crout, the waterman who took young Goddard into his boat, said the lad was knocked down in the most brutal manner, and that Harwood made a deliberate attempt to drown him by forcing him into the water. The prisoner in defence said that his own boat, by some accident, was sunk, and he got into a boat to tow it ashore, but his own boat being too heavy for the pram he was ob liged to jump into Goddard's boat to save his life. Young Goddard came into the boat and ordered him to go out. He asked him where he was to go, and they had a scuffle. The lad attempted to shove him overboard, on which he said, " If you want to drown me I'll drown you first ;" and he then forced him into the river. Mr. BRODERIP asked if it was necessary for the salvation of Harwood's life to jump into the other boat? Crout said certainly was not. Mr. ComaE, in confirming the original decision of Mr. Broderip and Mr. Greenwood, said that it was very lucky for the prisoner he had not drowned the boy, or he would have been tried for murder. He sentenced him, in de fault of paying 51., to two months' imprisonment in Maid stone gaol. THE MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The highest prise of Bread in the Metropolis is 9d. for the 41b.
