SPTRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have been amused with the description of some antics lately exhibited by certain reverend buffoons before the good people of Liverpool. The place se- Jetted for the display was most appropriate. The same place that witnessed the grimaces of a Grimaldi was judiciously nelected for tlie mummery of a M'Ghee. We find in the programme of the proceeding, that the part of the stage immediately next the pit was reserved for the clergy who took part in the proceeding. Among the chief performers the principal part was sustained by Mr. M'Ghee, " preacher at once and zany of the age," who was announced in the play-bills as the rec tor of Powerscourt. Now, not only has the gentleman do chum to this title, but, to the credit of the Este blie'oed Church. not one of its hierarchs has been found so lost to every sense of religion, dignity, and honour as to confer the smallest promotion upon the strolling in cendiary. This follower of " a meek and humble Saviour" thought proper to reiterate his oft -repeated slanders, and to brand with the foul sin of perjury every individual of the Roman Catholic persuasion who has hitherto sat in Parliament. Not only did Mr. O'Connell fall under the frothings of his ribald tongue, but such men as the Killeens, the Woulfes, the Bels Jews, the Wyses, were included in the wholesale slan der. The tumbling of such a mountebank as this can, of course, excite iio feelings but those of ridicule and disgust ; but we own it gives us no little sorrow to perceive that, i n any corner of the empire a body of persons could he collected to assent to a charge of per jury against the followers of a creed who sacrificed, for upwards of a century and a half, the dearest honours, the most valuable privileges of the State, to their strict and conscientious seruplea to violate the sanc tity of an oath. What was it (the dupes of an O'Neil and a M'Ghee might have asked themselves), what was it that alone excluded Catholics from Parliament and all the offices of the State but their irresistible repugnance to subscribe to a declaration which their consciences abjured ? And now we are told that Catholics who shrink from falsehood as from death, to gain the highest prizes that the State holds forth, have, one and all, agreed to steep their souls in per jury to pass an appropriation clause I The fanatics of Liverpool have, however, one recommendatiom ; they do not disguise their object. We find the Rev. Hugh O'Neil thus eulogising the Constitution as' it existed in the heyday.of corruption and the borough mongers :—" Towards the close of the last century the British Constitution, based upon the deserved su p -emacy of the word of God over the minds of men, and built up in the lofty principles of a freely-circulated Bible, was in full force." The British Constitution, at the period alluded to, was built upon the stubble foundation of rotten bo roughs, which, at the time of their destruction, were bewailed by their devoted champions, the Conservative parsons, as thegroundwork of the Church, and now they are held up as identical with the supre• macy of the word of God. No doubt the reverend orator will Gird up his loins to restore these sacred muniments of Christianity. With the restoration of the rotten boroughs another object of kindred piety is avowed—the repeal of the Emancipation Act. " What is to be done" (continued the rapt and inspired ora tor) ? " The question has been asked already" (a voice in the gallery, " Repeal the Emancipation Act," followed by reiterated peals of applause.) " That is the voice of true sympathy. You have read our hearts, and have had the boldness to speak it from your tongue, my brother." We believe the envenomed bi gots ; the repeal of the Emancipation Act, the revival of the infernal penal code, so that they might glut their vengeance against the Catholics, is the hope that swells their bosoms. Disfranchisement, proscrip tion, extermination. On these three hang all their ...se' laws and prophets.—Morning Chronicle. New York papers to the 20th ult. inclusive, have reached us via Liverpool, by the packet-ships Europe and. Scotland. Our readers will be much gratified to perceive that the commercial embarrassments of the United States are in rapid progress of removal, that confidence is being resumed, and that great activity is already manifested in mercantile transactions. This improved state of things is in part attributable to the favourable accounts received from Europe, and in part to the monetary measures in progress of adoption by the Senate and House of Representatives. A Bill has been proposed to the Senate to authorise the issue of Treasure notes, of not less than 100 dollars each, to the amount of twelve millions of dollars, re deemable in twelve months, and bearing six per cent. interest. Other Bills, a summary of which will be found elsewhere, are also in progress for facilitating commercial intercourse and the restoration of public confidence. Both Houses appeared actuated by the utmost unanimity. The proposition for an exclusive specie system is, for the present, at an end : and all parties look forward with confidence to the establish ment of credit on a sound, and, at the same time, elastic basis, secure and stable in its nature, and pos sessing an expansive capability suitable to the wants continually felt by every great mercantile community. This is the desideratum, not in the United States only, but in Great Britain, and every State actively and ex tensively engaged in commercial negociation. To ree vert suddenly from an over-extensive paper currency to a too limited specie currency, and an exclusively specie currency must in its very nature be too limited, would be as impolitic and absurd as to recommend starvation after having suffered_ from a surfeit. Wealth is too frequently confounded with what is merely its representative. A metallic circulation is not a whit more valuable than a paper circulation duly re presenting an equivalent capital ; nay, in some cases it is less so, as is evidenced by bills being every day pur chased at a premium, from their affording greater faci lity and security in making remittances. No commer cial community, in fact, can exist without receiving greater or less assistanc e from a paper circulation—t o abolish it would be not only to cripple, but to destroy all mercantile action. It is true, when not under due controtil, disastrous effects have been caused by the excessive mimultts given to speculation in consequence of the too great issues of paper-money —b u t this is its abuse : when properly regulated, it is the life-blood of every trading community ; and great as have been the evils which America, in comrnon with Great Britain, has experienced from an iil-devised and ill-regulated banking system, she would soon find that to abandon a paper medium of commerce would be to close up the fountains of her prosperity and greatness.—Mor-rring Advertiser. It cannot be denied but that, with the very 'best intention s and ample materiel, great difficulty must exist in rendering the kind of scientific re-union which has this year been held at Liverpool creditable to sci ence and. philosophy, or useful - in its results. Philo sophers are not always men most practically versed in the ordinary usages of life ; nor have men of deep ab stract science always, the happiest mole either of im patting their own knowledge to others, or of applying it to the points which should be the object of all science—th e welfare and improvement of society. The late meeting was, i appears, the seventh of " The British Associa.tion for the Advancement of Science;" and though the number of persons, both ;earned and unlearned atinntling it is said to have been 1,840, being exce l of 536 over the meeting at Bristol, it may be doubted whether science has been materially advanced i Tin l the occasion—ln short, whether there has not been more smok e and nolse than actual ammunition t nAage of " ioo many cooks" is stt ictly tszi such assemblages and without incurring the invidietta taiik o inquiring among the 1:840 what prorortion the learned bore to the unlearned, one thilig is undeniable, that there is no instance on record rif any preatl.ob,i,2ot in science or the arts having been brought to ,ight, or promoted in a crowd, - The Roam jbet's scribimus indocti doctique, as well as the English satirist's sneer, 'that " all who cannot *lie translate," was applicable, we take it, to the appear, great bulk of this assembly, who a according to the published accounts, to have run about from section tg section merely " novitath avida," while the erudite tads of the sections seem to have been rather good haturedly bent on satisfying this craving for an omnrum gaheniM than in promoting any plain ostensible ob ject of public utility. It is said that when an audience once begin to titter at a tragedy, the laugh becomes contagious, and the doom of the author is sealed. In like manner, when an affair of this kind is so con ducted as to excite, ridicule, all seriousness and utility are lost ; the ectuts tivi.7 try to loot: grave, but if the andienc, bnes, pit, and gallery unite in the latign, the would-be tra t , edy, or s.?.ntlillentai comedy, sinks into broad farce. Stich has been undeniably the re sult of the late meeting, at Liverpool. We see and hear it laughed at, but, for ‘i the advancement of science" by its means ) we ingure in vain. Though ..ve may have been among the laughers, such a result affords us no gratification. We bad rather either that the experiment had succeeded, or have been let alto gether alone. And wishing well to the cause of science in ail its bearings, we hope thal for e. L ne future the meetings may be either Co n d ucte d un d er b etter auspices and with better effect, or else that they may be abondohed altogether.—Mornivg Pfereld. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Brighton Gu a rdi an SUssex Advertiser .... 63,530 Brighton Gazette 60,000 Brighton Herald Brighten Patriot Establishing the fact which we announced on the 19th of July last, "that the Brighton Guardian had attained the largest circulation in the county," outstripping its three seniors. The Sussex Advertiser has been in being nearly a century, the Brighton Herold 32 years, the Brighton Gazette rather better than 16 years, and the Guardian only 10 years; and it has now, as a reward of its incessant toils, its admitted industry, and its proverbial accuracy publicly acknowledged by one of its most determined political opponents, bees placed at the head of the newspaper press of the county. This is a compli ment to which we are not insensible ; and as the Guardian was the first to introduce a full-sized newspaper into Sussex, and to lead the way in the improvements which have taken place in the county in the getting-up of newspapers generally, so we can assure the public, that none of its energies will be relaxed by the marked favour with which the exertions of its conductors have been honoured]. But we dare say that some interested parties will be found to take exception to the annual computation we have made. Nay, we have already seen a deception attempted upon the public by parties who claim for our Tory Cotemporary a yearly circulation of 70,000 ; and to expose this cunning fraud upon the advertising public is our present purpose. The de ceivers say—that 35,000 stamps have beer, issued to the Tory journal in the six months between the lstof January and 30th of June, that twice 35 is 70, and consequently that the cir culation of the Brighton Gazette is 70,000 in the year. Now this seems very plausible ; but when the hocus pocus is ex plained, it will be found to be as incorrect as the idea that " twice one and twenty and twice twenty-one" are one and the same thing. A moment's attentive observation of the above return will satisfy every observer that the circulation of the Brighten Gazette does not exceed 5,000 per calendar month ; for it will be seen that although 10,000 stamps with its instinctive die were issued in February, not a single stamp was issued for it in the month of April ; whence it is clear that the 20,000 issued to it is the first three months of the year sufficed or its four months circulation, because till the fifth month has com menced, no fresh issue was made on its account ; and we are strongly inclined to believe, for reasons which we will pre sently give, that part of the first three months' issue from the Stamp Office remained to supply at least the first week of the fifth month. But taking the Issue as the bona fide coNsumr- Tion, it is clear beyond dispute that only 20,000 were used in four months by the Brighton Gazette, and that another 5,000 issued in May supplied its wants in that month. If then not more than 20,000 could be got rid of in four months, and the next 5,000 answered all the calls for newspapers in May, can any body doubt that the 10,000 issued in June was the supply , for two months i In computing therefore the annual con sumption of the Brighton Gazette, the advertising public will see the necessity of dividing the June supply between the months of June and July; and in that case it will be, as we have correctly stated it, 60,000, or 4,000 below the Brighton Guardian. But we are not sure that it is entitled to be ranked so high. We have already shewn, taking for granted that it consumed month by month the stamps issued for its use, that in four months it could only have circulated more than 20,900 copies; but for reasons which we will now state, we are strongly in clined to believe that it had not circulated the whole of the ' 20,000 in the four mouths, and that enough remained to work off its first publication in May. The Ist of May this year fell on the Monday, so that the 9,000 stamps issued with its in stinctive die in that month could not have reached Brighton , till the 2nd. Now all persons connected with printing are aware that paper before it is used for printing newspapers requires to be well soaked in water for a very long time; and we believe it is the invariable practice of our Tory contempo rary to wet down his stamps on the Monday, which is none too soon. It fellows, as a matter of course, that stamps not issued frem the head office in London till the Monday could not be soaking in water in Brighton on the same day ; and as a further necessary consequence, that the first publication of the Brighton Gazette in May, namely Thursday the 4th, was supplied from the stock-in-hand issued from the Stamp Office in the previous March ! There is still another reason for supposing this to be the case. Independently of the time being insufficient between Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon, when the Brigh ton Gazette goes to press, for the paper to soak properly, no newspaper proprietor since the institution of the instinctive die, would risk the penalty of printing on unstamped paper, by delaying till the 2d of the month the receipt of the stamps which he requires for use in the afternoon of the 3d; and we are therefore confirmed in the opinion, in which we have no doubt all thinking persons will join, that in settling the circu lation of the B r i g ht on G azette at 20,000 for th e first four months of the present year, we are ranking it higher than the absolute fact justifies. Supposing that it had only stamps enough left from its March supply for its issue in the first week in May, and allowing—which, when we see such tricks are played, is scarcely justifiable—that it did consume the whole of the 20,000 in the eighteen publications which, including the 4th May, it has made since the comniencoment of the year, we find that its actual annual circulation will be decreased to something less than 53,000, leaving it 6,000 in the rear of the Guardian, though it is its senior by six years. What the motive of the proprietors of the Brighton Gazette was in ordering a supply of 5,000 in March, when it is mani fest that they had the greater portion of their February supply on hand, wo shall leave others to decide ; we will only state the fact that a Tory Alombe-, who has since been kicked out of the House of Commons by his constituency, moved earl) in April for newspaper returns; but by some mistake the order 'of the House was limited to the Metropolitan Press. Had the provincial issue been given at the same time, our 'lvry Contemporary would have been decked in the borrowed plums of having had 20,000 stamps in three months ; whence an an nual computation of 30,000 would have been trumpeted to the world—with what honesty and approach to truth we leave the public to declare. Whether our Tory Contemporary received soy intimation from the Tory ex- Member for Belfast, we know not; but it does seem curious that the consumption of April should have been anticipated by the issues in February and March ; end we fear, when the public come to remark that the same mancouvre is repeated in June, without the shadow of pretext, that it will be of opinion that something like a settled design existed to act not only dishonestly to. wards the pub ic, but to take a mean and dastardly advantage of contemporaries whom these Tories dare not encounter on even terms, and saying little for the honesty of their profes sions of att,ehment to that holy Religion which inculcates principles of rectitude and honest dealing towards one's neigh bour. Th• same remarks apply to the young Brighton paper. Its first two issues lasted it four months, and 3,000 met all its little wants in the fifth. Its last issue was clearly meant to cover two months' demand. . Besides the j ourna l s enumerate d i n t h e a b ove extract, there Is a thing got up and concocted between the Carlton Club manufactory for country newspapers and certain Tories at Lewes, which clamours to be included among the Sussex newspapers,—a distinction, which, when we recollect its am phibious character, if we n us y so a ppl y th e term , we cannot award to it. But it is Tory all over ; it is redolent of the peculiar honesty and adherence to truth which has time out of mind characterised that political party. The thing is sent down from London, as the cook says, " done on one aide," after it has supplied some half dozen or more things of the same genus ; and at Lewes it is then finished off. This offshoot of the Carlton Club was first darted into this county on the 4th of February is the present year, and the gentlemen who blow the trumpet at this end of the line would fain persuade the world that it has already outstripped the Brighton Gazette, its like in politics, but its vast superior in every other attribute that ennobles a newspaper. . They would f a i n have the world believe that the Tories of Sussex, for. getting the services rendered to their cause by th e Brighton Gazette for the last sixteen years, have set it aside in favour of a thing which, when compared with that Gazette as a medium of county intelligence and as evi nc i ng the talent of it s co nd uc t ors , is contemptible in the ext reme . We cannot think so meanly of the Tories; they are prover bially_ good masters, and would not treat our contemporary of the Brighton Gazette with so much ingratitude as to set his tried advocacy aside for a thing of yesterday's growth. Upon the advertising public the parties will not, we are sure, im pose, for they, like ourselves, will ba sceptical in believing that a new publication in any part of England would at starting outstrip a contemporary of its own political creed not defici e nt in industry and z ea l, w hil e i ts own pret ensions are of a deci dedly inferior character. The thing is too preposterous for a mo ment's serious consideration, and whatever the hocus porus of the unscrupulous Carlton Club may with its ample funds be able to accomplish, no man who knows anything of active life and of the county of Sussex will believe that half the papers taken out by the Carlton Club party for the Sussex editi on o f their paper ever comes into the county, or if they do, that they The Guardian is supplied in parcels of 4,000 each.

The young Lord Coke, who will not be 15 years of ag e till December, promises to be what his venerable father, the Earl of Leicester, was some years ago, one of the first rate shots in England. The young Lord lately, in one morning, shot 23} brace of partridges. Joseph Hoast, a grenadier who served under Mar shal Oudinot in the campaign of the French Republic against Austria, in 1799, has just returned to France from Pesth, in Hungary, after an absence of 37 yeers. He had taken service in an Austrian company, on his liberation from the prisons of Pesth, where, according to his statement, many of his military comrades were at the same time con fined. THE CHEERFUL 13diaiTICIAN, \Veil, thingS Ifetes were so prosperous—England never was so happy.

Titings in Portugal "are coming to a close, end with an heir to the crown the young Queen must strive to firarne her politics so as to settle differences which ought never to be disputed out of the Cortes. The Americans are recovering from their panic, and are grown mote cautious of bankers and speculators. The President, liken wise man, dis countenances a national bank, and urges the edoption . of a gold currency as the best preservative of a healthy state of the co mmonwealth. Never were things so prosperous. The arts and manufactures are flourishing --the farmer does not grumble—and the manufacturer, with good prices, forgets corn laws - and malt tax. Science and literature are taking full sway, and are doing away with the prejudices of nations. New views and more extended prospects are breaking in upon mankind, and the bonds of brotherhood are being ex tended. How much better this than to be continually squabbling and fighting like a parcel of turkey cocks. Our navy, thank heaven, is strong enough to piotect our colonies, and our army is numerous enough to se cure us from the aggressions of 'a common foe. There is no fighting but among the newspapers, and they quarrel with one another because there is nothing else to quarrel about. It is a famous sign when they fall out. The Spectator grumbles and snarls to please the Tories and the Rads, and strives, by pleasing nobody, to attract the attention of every body. The old Times lies like itself, and nobody believes it. The Standard pretends to be honest, and fancies people think it so. The Post tittle-tattles as usual to old dowagers and • scandal-mongers. The Whig press fights the ministers' battle -bravely—the Chronicle is pushing the Times from its place, and the Advertiser, Globe, Sun, and • Examiner, are burying the poor silly old Herald in oblivion. Every thing must go on. Ministers have a safe majority—small indeed, but true as buckram, and that is a thousand times better than a shakey large one. The Parliament will resume ere long, and then there will come the struggle again—the old questions will be gone over, and the old tricks resorted to—but we shall go on well for all that—slowly, perhaps, but surely. In the mean time news is as scarce as one pound notes. Politicians have turned sportsmen—grouse and part ridges are the subjects debated, and the only reports made are those from double-barrelled Mantons on the hill side. Well, for my part, I see nothing to fear, and I am sure if people will but put their shoulder to the wheel we cannot fail going on well.— Cardiff' Chron. POLICE 'INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A young man named Henry Ansell was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by the Count De Milfort, of No. 19, Kensington-square. A Custom-house officer stated that on the 4th of Oc tober the Count arrived in London by a steamer, with four teen packages, one of which was, either through the fault of the potter or the Count, left behind in the place where they were landed. The other packages were taken away by the porter, and witness, upon finding that the mistake had been made, locked up the package in the store, and delivered it next morning to the prisoner, who appeared at the Custom-house with an order from the Count to the fol lowing effect :--" A wooden box, covered with a tarpaulin ; the address, Count E. De Milfort, London." It was after nine o'clock when the prisoner took away the box, which was perfectly secure, and screwed and nailed down, and exactly is th• same state in which it was landed. Edward Count De Milfort stated that by accident the package was left behind when all the other packages were brought away from the Custom-house by the prisoner. As soon as the package was missed, the Countess directed the prisoner to apply for it at the place where it was deposited, but to her great surprise the prisoner never returned till nine o'clock at night, and then delivered the package, with marks upon it of having been wrenched and broken open. 1. gold bracelet and a gold chain, of the value of 181., had been taken out, and it was odd enough that the thing left behind in the package was a box containing jewels of the value of 1,0001. Tke prisoner was a porter in the employment of a cart keeper, and upon receiving the package in the morn ing he went with it to his master's yard, and deposited it there till it was convenient to take it in a cart to Kensing- ton-square. He bad been paid very liberally, having re ceived 18s. for the two jobs, and he know nothing at all about the breaking open of the package. The case was remanded, and John Forrester was di rected to make an investigation into it. Deputy Corney, of Bread-street Ward, appeared before the Lord Mayor to complain that Mr. Borrop, the sta tioner, and several other tradesmen had been victimized by a set of swindlers who had pitched upon the house No. 3, Cushion-court, Old Broad -street, as the place in which to carry on a system of plunder of the most extensive kind. The present tenants of that house had contrived, with the aid of others, to whom they referred the trades people, to testify as to their responsibility, to fill the apartments with goods of all descriptions, obtained by the fraudulent co-operation of the various branches of the gang. He (Mr. Corney) bad, in consequence of the ad vice of his Lordship, set a watch upon the house, with directions to observe all that was going on there, and with orders not to allow any goods to be removed from it under any circumstances, but to caution all persons who may desire to communicate with those within not to have any dealings with them ex cept for ready money. The officers appointed to the duty of keeping an eye upon the premises followed one person from the house to a house in the neighbourhood, and found there some of the account books which Mr. Borrop had bat a few days ago sent to No. 3, Cushion court, in consequence of a recommendation of the cus tomer by a person whom he considered to he respectable, and who had carried on business in the City upwards of a year and a half without suspicion. The LORD MAYOR—That is the way in wlich they do business. Some of the gang take premises and pay every body ; they then recommend others of the gang, who suc ceed, upon such undeniable recommendations, and get a large amount of property for which they pay nobody. Deputy Corney was determined to rout all villains of this description out of the City. Mr. Hobler said that the LORD MAYOR had repeatedly cautioned the tradesmen of London against fellows who were exercising all their ingenuity to plunder in the manner described ; and the Deputy had given a death-blow, by the prompt course he had adopted, to the success of the te nants of No. 3, Cushion-court. The course next to be adopted was to indict the whole set for a conspiracy. Deputy Corney said that there certainly ought to be some immediate and decisive means of getting rid of such scoundrel. He was resolved to go to Parliament for an Act by which the offence could be reached. The LORD MAYOR—How many are there in the gang ? Deputy Corney—l should say there are about twenty in this gang. The LORD MAYOR—The course you have pursued in placing a wat c h upon t h e prem i ses , accor di ng to the sug gestion of Mr. Hobler, with directions to caution all per sons, appears to me the most efficacious. Deputy Corney—My object is to prosecute for the con spiracy, and I am determined to do all I can to get at every man of the gang. lam determined to root them all out. I have now commenced, and I shall be indefatigable. The goods already seized by the officers were then or dered to be detained, HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Mary Daly, sister to Mrs. Daly, the aotre3s, was finally examined, charged by Nathaniel Forrester Ed wards, a law writer, of . No. 6, Duke's place, St. Pancras, with bigamy. The particulars of the case have already appeared before the public. The prisoner was ordered to find bail to appear at the Old Bailey to answer the charge, which she eventually did and was liberated, MARY LEBONE, ROBBERY BY A lERVANT.—Yesterday Olivia Page, a young woman, in the service of M. George Topple, sur veyor, No. 16, Bedford-street, Golden-square, was charged, before Mr. It.twuNsos, with robbing her master to a great extent. The prosecutor, besides his profession, kept an evening school. The prisoner had been in his service, as servant of all work, for five months. On the previous evening he and Mrs. Topple went to chapel, leaving the prisoner and their five children (all young) at home. On his return he knocked several times, but, receiving no answer, he got in the parlour-window, when be found the children asleep, and the prisoner and her box gone, He then made search, ; and missed from a desk in the school-room 1/. is.

'She saw him, and got dow and he gave her in charge. On asking her her motive for r com mitting the robbery, she said " she wa nted to go wher she shoUld be now sent."

She did so, when Coste refused to as• sist her. She and her children were wholly destitute. James Tilt confirmed the evitLmee of the w oman. „ he Mr. CODD stated to the unfortutote wo man that all could then do was to order her temporary relef, an d t° bring the matter under the notice of the Poorilaw CO' wissioners.
