SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Revenue accounts, made up to the 10th of October, will be found in another column. On the year ended 10th of October, 1837, as compared with the year ended 10th of October, 1836, there is a de crease of 2,097,2591. On the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter in 1836, the decrease is 1,187,7621. The great decrease is in the Customs. On the year the decrease in that branch is 1,793,9731., and on the quarter 917,6611. The only branch on which there is an increase in the last quarter, is the Post-office, 19,0061. The raising the rate of interest on the part of the Bank of England, and other mea sures necessary to restore the currency to a more health-. ful state, the havoc occasioned to all who 'were en gaged in the trade with the United Ste.tes, and the distress in the manufacturing district; in consequence of the cessation of the American, demand, sufficiently account for the decrease in one Revenue of 1837, as compared with that of Is6.—Morning Chronicle. The fate of the O'Connell Ministry does not turn upon the Issue of the forthcoming petitions to Parlia ment against the Radical and priest-elected interlopers, whe'.'ner English or Irish. T hat fate is, in one sense, quite independent of the result of such petitions. The expulsion of some of those usurpers from Parliament by a report of the Committees may, indeed, render the downfall of the Ministry more immediate ; but nothing can render it more unavoidable than it is at the mo ment while we write. That the doom of this despica ble Cabinet should be realised with all convenient speed is unquestionably not a little desirable, for the sake of seeing the country settle at once into some safe, steady, and dignified course of action, rather than be blown and bufFetted about from day to day, amidst conflicting violences, on the brink of unfathomable dangers, with none but reckless knaves or shallow blunderers on whom to rely for help, as we have been witnessing for these four or five returns of the Legisla tive season. Our Correspondent " B." has treated the pretensions of certain frightened bullies, who would make the House of Commons of 1837 an humble copyist of its predecessor in the 17th century, with much ability. For ourselves, we have only to express our scorn of men who pester the ears of a rational people with assumptions on behalf of one estate out of three, of a supremacy over both the others. Not many months have passed by us since some of the more bilious re volutionists in and out of Parliament chattered about " resolving" this, and " declaring" that, in defiance— nay, to the extinction—of the House of Lords ; as if the legislative capacity of the Peers of England de pended on the will of half a measuring-cast majority, composed of Papists and Revolutionists in the Lower House of Parliament, or as if any formidable section of the physical strength of the empire would back the propounders of such absurdities in the attempt to en force them. It is not more than a week or two since some newspaper partisans of a gang of traitors had the impudence to charge thousands of honest and loyal men, who were coming for ward from all parts of the kingdom with sub ncriptions to vindicate the purity of election, de filed and degraded as it has been by many of the late false returns from Ireland—to charge them, we say, with nothing short of conspiracy against the political rights and interests of the whole Irish nation I But, besides all this, the same profound constitutional authorities did in their wisdom threaten the Conser vative subscribers to the petition fund with some novel and pretty decisive measure in the shape of a vote of the House of Commons, which should instantly have the effect of upholding the Irish Papist and English Radical usurpers in the seats which th e y harob tained through fraud and violence, and of frus trating all efforts to disturb them by petition to a :House of Commons where the majority was on their side—that is, of superseding the law of the land, annulling the Grenville Act by a resolution of the " Hon. House," and establishing a precedent whereby, whatever ephemeral faction 'was supposed to he the strongest on any given da l o f th e y ear , an y Jack Cade, with his half- breeched myrmidons, might sweep away the constitutional monarchy by a breath, commit any profitable or promising outrage upon the people, treat every demand of redress as a rebellion, make their own foul " mouths the Parliament of Eng land," that " no Peer shall wear a head on his shoul ders unless he pall us tribute," nor yeoman wag a tongue but at our pleasure. Here is a fair picture of what the state of England would be, if those clamorous hypocrites in the name of freedom were once in full possession of power to deal with the rights of other men according to the measure of their own disin terested consciences, metamorphose the general body of the law until it suits their general purpose, and when any unprovided and especial emergency shall arise seize into your own hands the exclusive authority to legislate, and " let your will avouch it." Such is the genius of that which now calls itself " Reform I" Such the samples of " good government" we may look for when Romish priests mix up the cant of Radicalism with that of superstition.—Times. If ever Parliamentary Reform was worth a great na tional struggle, surely to protect the principle of Re form in Ireland—the sacred and invaluable right of freedom of election—from being swamped, trampled on, and practically abolished by a nefarious conspiracy of priestly and lay agitators, is worth a great public effort. That effort is now making in England, as our readers are aware, in the shape of a general subscrip tion, to assist the Conservative electors of Ireland to vindicate their grossly-outraged rights, and regain, for the lawful representatives of the people, according to the provisions of the Reform Act, the seats which, by means of violence and fraud, heve been most foully usurped. If it be wrong that such an effort should be made, then it is wrong that right should be done !—then it is wrong that the law should be put in motion to restore property, wrongfully abstracted by force or fraud, to the rightful owner. The elec tive franchise is a public trust for the national be nefit, and the public are interested in its vindication. In assisting the cause of the constitutional elec tors of Ireland the British public only fight their own battle. The Irish majority, surreptitiously obtained, is to be made use of in crushing the constitutional rights of the people of England, and " in inflicting a heavy blow and great discouragement upon Proles tantism"—the great source of England's freedom, civi lisation, and moral pre-eminence among the nations of the earth. The terror with which this public effort to obtain " justice for Ireland" has inspired the faction that at the late elections as completely set aside the Reform Act, by force and fraud, as if no such law were in existence, is observable in the alarmed tone of their journals, which, instead of inviting investigation, as conscious honesty would have done, have recourse to the most wretched and contemptible shifts and expe dients to prevent the inquiry which conscious guilt has so much reason to dread. At one time, those journals that work in the harness of the Whig-Radical-repeal firm of O'Connell, Melbourne, M'Hale, and Co., re sort to the most puerile cajolery of the British public to dissuade them from assisting the Irish Protestants. At another, they indulge in menaces equally impudent and absurd, threatening, forsooth, with the vengeance of the House of Commons all who endeavour to prevent a considerable number of seats in that House from being occupied by intruders, who have no more right to be there than they have to take possession of apartments in St. James's Palace, except that the usurpation of seats in " the people's House" is a much more serious public wrong than trespassing in the royal household. It is quite certain, that, if the Popish majority in Ire land had been fairly and lawfully obtained, they could have nothing to fear from the prosecution of inquiry before Committees of Parliament ; they know that to petition on grounds that are frivolous and vexatious entails the whole expense of the proceeding upon the petitioning party. Independently of the absurd waste of money which would attend the prosecution of fri volous and vexatious election-petitions, the Irish Pro testants and their supporters in this country would ma terially damage their own cause by petitioning without any solid grounds to go upon. The friends and hire lings of Ministers would, of course, be exceedingly glad to see the Conservatives adopting so foolish a practice, and one so mischievous to themselves—they ~ "tvttiaald) pot wish to stop them—on the contrary, they woug.:po6h them to go on, that they might enjoy Elie eahilarati spectacle of their discomfiture.

They are well aware, that if the proposed investigation ,be proceeded with according to the provisions of the established law, the O'Connellite ascendancy will be reduced to compara tively small dimensions, and the Ministerial majority will be no where.—Morning, Herald. We publish this day the official statement of the revenue for the yea! and quarter which terminated yes terday, together: with a parallel statement of the re ceipts far t i ne year and quarter ending on the 10th of Octo l etr, 1836. It is a subject of regret, though not of surprise, that the defalcation which we had to an nounce at the conclusion of the last quarter appears, by the returns nqw before us, to have . very considerably increased. 'the decrease of revenue for the quarter just ended considerably exceeds in positive amount that which we had to announce and deplore in July. The Customs had then fallen off by the amount of 412,5021. The additional defalcation during the last quarter is 917,6611. The decline in the Excise was then 551,9051. It is increased in the quarter just ended by 156,5621. The stamps, which had then produced 87,2281. less than in the corresponding quarter of last year, present a further defalca tion of 122,4891. And the taxes, in respect to which we could then congratulate the country upon an increase o f 38,259/., appear now to have sympa thised with the general tendency to financial decay. In this branch of the public revenue the defalcation of the past quarter is 26,7951. Upon the aggregate revenue we had to announce a decline of 545,355/. in July last, and to this large sum we have now to make the lamentable addition of 1,187,762/. Our Minis terial Contemporaries have anticipated the official statement of the deficiency for the quarter just ended, and attempted to counteract its effect upon the public mind by the assertion that it appears to be much greater than it is, in consequence of the income for the October quarter of last year having been greatly enhanced by extraordinary payments on account of tea duties. There is little consolation to be derived from the explanation to which the Ministerial journals resort, for the extraordinary payments on account of tea duties were made principally in the July quarter of 1836, and not in the October quarter, and served the purpose of explaining the deficiency of the quarter which ended on the sth of July last. But if the extraordinary payments of 1836 are to do double duty, and to account for the deficiency in two successive quarters of the present year, as to some they may, what relation, 'we have still to inquire, can these duties, which are duties of customs, bear to the excise, the stamps, and the taxes, under each of which heads we have now to lament a deficiency amounting in the whole to above 300,0001., and following up a previous deficiency under the same heads, of 600,0001.? Why say so much about tea duties when, in breeches of the revenue of which these duties form no part, there is an admitted deficiency in the last half year of nearly a million of money ? We are not disposed to urge as a matter of charge against any Administration those commercial vicissitudes to which temporary fluc tuations of the revenue are generally to be ascribed. We believe that they are to a considerable extent independent of the action of Government. But if any thing is calculated to excite a suspicion that the Minis ters of the Crown are conscious of having contributed, whether by blundering or by negligence, to their production, it is the abortive attempt of their parti sans to explain those temporary deficiencies in the public income which are the index of commercial de pression to causes other than the true ones. And, independently of this cause of suspicion, there are rea sons more direct and more solid for imputing the pre sant decay of the revenue, and the commercial revul sion which it indicates, to the policy or iinpolicv of Ministers. The commercial crisis under the effects of which we are now suffering has arisen mainly from our mercantile connection with America. Great Bri tain is the European emporium of American produce, and the European factory for American demands. And this is well ; but it would he still better that our trade with other countries should have risen in a simi lar proportion to that with America, so that the con sequences of any commercial revulsion in that country might less sensibly affect us. Now the plain and obvious tendency of the whole foreign policy of Great Britain since the Whig Ministers cane into power, has been to obstruct and diminish the commerce of Great Britain with the nations of Conti nental Europe, and, in the same proportion, to render her commercial and financial affairs more susceptible of the influences, whether for good or for evil, which are wafted across the Atlantic. Our Ministers have contrived to blot out the two nations of the Peninsula from the map of the commercial world. They have paraded and vaunted the libe ralism of their foreign policy in a manner to excite the univeral apprehension of northern and central Europe, and to stifle those mutual jealousies which might pro bably have prevented the completion of a commercial league among several of the States, that is generally believed to be detrimental to the interests of British commerce. They have regarded France as the only country in Europe worthy of their attention, and the commercial intercourse of Great Britain and France remains nevertheless as fettered and as insignificant as before. They have thus made British and American commerce identical, and securely provided that there shall be no commercial crisis in the United States which shall not extend to Great Britain, and there exert an influence unbalanced, unmitigated. unimpaired by any foreign counteraction.—. Morning Port. The abstract of the state of the Revenue, when compared with that of the preceding year, exhibits a deficiency ; yet, considering the great commercial crisis , through which the country has passed, the result is much more favourable than could have been reasonably anticipated. The chief deficiency appears in the Customs, for which the decrease consequent upon the reduction in the tea duties, independent of any other influence, furnishes amply sufficient explanation. In the Excise also there appears a slight diminution, but this is rather apparent than real, as from the manner of its collection the return affords no criterion of its present condition, which is known to be highly prosperous. There is an increase in the returns from Taxes and the Post-office ; and on the whole the state of the Revenue evinces not only a convalesceet, but a vi gorous state of the great social and commercial body. We have passed through a period of commercial embar rassment from which most calamitous consequences were apprehended, and the nation now emerges from the ordeal comparatively scatheless. The total de crease on the revenue compared with that of the pre ceding year is two millions, of which more than one and a half million is referable to the item of Customs, diminished by the causes to which we have already made allusion. The present quarter, representing as it does the • most unfavourable state of the country, in its comparatively insignificant decrease from the cor responding quarter of last year, far from being a sub ject of condolence, is one of exulting congratulation. The difficulties through which the country has so for tunately passed were obviously attributable to causes operating long previously to the existence, and totally unconnected with the policy of the present Government —but fortunate is it for the country that the crisis of these adverse influences did not occur during a Tory Administration. Had the want of commercial confidence been aggravated by a doubt, not to say hos tility, towards the political administration, the extent of the mischief would have been incalculable ; and, thanks to the power which established the present Ministry, to the exclusion of the Peel usurpation, that mischief is now only a subject of speculation, not a reality. The temporary depression of our revenue may easily be demonstrated to have arisen from causes antecedent to the existence of the present Govern ment ; but to the confidence which a liberal Ministry inspired, and the security afforded by their general policy is the nation mainly indebted for appearing in a condition of almost undiminished health and vigour, after a shock from which most serious consequences were apprehended. Without referring to the good which we anticipate and have a right to expect, in the evils which we have escaped may be found abundant motives for an unflinching resistance to the encroach ments of a faction, the end of whose policy is, and ever has been, an aggravation of the evil and preven tion of the good which, in the ordinary course of events, would hav e b een the national portion.-- Morning Advertiser.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—.Considerable excitement has taken place in the town of Dudley for the last few days, in consequence of an anticipated hostile meeting be tween T. Hawkes, Esq., M.P., for that borough, and 11. Turner, Esq., the unsuccessful candidate at the late elec tion. The dispute took place in consequence of offensive language having been used by Mr. Turner at the meeting held before the Swan Inn, on Thursday week, when Mr. Hawkes sent a challenge to his antagonist. Mr. Turner was taken into custody on Wednesday, and taken before the Magistrates for the borough, who bound him over to keep the peace for twelvemonths in 7001. penalties. Mr. Hawkes has gone away, in order to avoid being called upon to give bail.—Kidderminster Messenger. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that the officer commanding the Life Guards in pursuit of Joseph Buona parte at the battle of Vittoria, and who had well nigh suc ceeded in the capture of the runaway monarch, is the owner of Brettenham Park, the present residence of the ex-King of Spain. The tide of events takes a strange turn some times. By the result of the different courts held by the re vising buristers for Western Somerset, we may venture to predict, that, at a future e election, the Tories v ,i! selves in a grievous minority, instead of bringing in the two " Somenstahire Augels.*-2rath Journal, RAILWAYS.IRON 6,000 Birmingham and Derby 9,5'19 Birmingham and Gloucester lO/ pd 11 7,500 Birmingham , Bris t o l, and Thames Junction 0 15, 0 00 Bristol and Exeter lOW. sh. 10 pd 4 (360 Calcutta and Saugur 5O/. sh. 2/. pd Of 7,500 Cheltenham and G.

Yesterday George Warwick, J. James, and William Col-1 lens, ruffianly-looking fellows, having the appearance of na vigators, were brought before Mr. BxNNvyr, charged by Mr. Rogers, the manager of Sadler's Wells Theatre, with having interrupted the performances. Mr. Rogers on Monday night last was in the boxes of the theatre, when he was alarmed by the screams of women and children, and, on looking into the pit, he saw the prisoners acting in a most violent manner, and hitting right and left indiscrimately at females and every one that came in their reach, and the house was in the greatest uproar. The prisoners, it appeared, had entered the pit, and had leaped over other persons, for the purpose of procuring front seats. Witness called in the constables of the the ' etre, and they were taken to the station-house. The prisoners said they were struck first before they struck others. They expressed their contrition. Mr. BENNETT would fine them one shilling each, and discharge them, but if ever they were brought there again under similar circumstances they would be more severely dealt with. William Johnson, a black man, Was charged by another man of colour, named Barron, with stealing Bs. The prosecutor not being acquainted with the English language, a person stylishly dressed offered his services as interpreter, when he was asked his name and address. Interpreter—l am a military gentleman. My name is King M'Ness, of St. Pancras. I formerly belonged to the East India Company's service. Mr. LAING—WiII you ask the prosecutor what per suasion he is of?—Mr. M'Ness did so, and he replied a Mahometan. Mr. LAING—Ask him how the oath is administered in his country ? Mr. M‘Ness—He says by holding an old shoe on his forehead.—(A laugh.) Mr. LAING said that he must be a Hindoo. Mr. M'Ness again questioned him, and elicited that they were sworn on the Koran, whilst the shoe was held on the forehead. There being no Koran, however, in the office to swear him upon, the prosecutor was further ques tioned, and it appeared that he met the prisoner, whom he treated, when he forced his hand into his pocket and stole the Bs., but only 3s. were found upon the prisoner. Mr. LAING said there were difficulties in the way, and he discharged the prisoner, saying that he might be taken into custody again if further evidence could be produced. Mr. LAING inquired of Mr. M'Ness whether he attended on any business at the office? Mr. M'Ness—l attend in a case of felony. Mr. LAING politely invited him to take 'a seat near the Magistrates, to which he was ushered by an officer, and Mr. M'Ness returned his compliment with a low bow, and took his seat, when Mr. LAING ordered the case to be brought on ; when Harriet Williams, a well-looking young woman, an elderly woman named Pcttigrove, and her hus band, the landlord and landlady of the former, were placed at the bar, charged by James King M'Ness (brother to the interpreter) with robbing him of various articles of furniture. The prosecutor stated that he hired a room in the house of the Pettigroves, to deposit the furniture for a short time in. The prisoner (Williams) lodged in their house, and on applying for them they refused to return them, saying that they were seized for rent. Williams, in her defence, said that the prosecutor had given her the furniture. Mr. M'Ness—l only gave you liberty to use them for a limited time, on my oath. Several witnesses proved that he gave them to her in their presence. Pettigroves said that Williams owed them 4/. 125., and they seized them for rent. Mr. M'Ness (the interpreter)—lt is evident that my brother has had some private dealings with Williams, but I cannot say whether he gave the articles or not to her. Williams—He purchased them of you, and now you want them back, and he can't get them, and he has given me in charge. Mr. LAING (to the prosecutor)—Pray, what are you? Prosecutor (as we understood) —A serjeant in the East India Company's service. Mr. LAING—I shall discharge the prisoners, and leave you to your remedy. The parties then quitted the office, Mr. M'Ness, the in terpreter, bowed respectfully to the Bench, as he proceeded from his seat. Bayliss here stated that the gentleman who had been so ceremoniously treated by Mr. Laing, was a short time ago charged at this office, and committed. Mr. LAING (with surprise)—What ! and why not tell me of that, before I asked him to take a seat here ? Bayliss— It has only been mentioned to me this moment, by In spector Bell. Mr. 'LAING—What was he charged with ? Inspector Bell—He was charged with illegally pawning some books, before Mr. Rogers, who committed him. Mr. LAlNG—Under what circumstances? Bell—He paid his addresses to a young lady, when he borrowed some books and pledged them. Mr. LAING (a little ruffied)—l beg, if anything of the kind should occur hero again, that the officers will imme diately communicate it to the magistrates. I should not have invited him to a seat here unless I inferred from what he said that be was a respectable retired officer of the East India Company's service. The officers promised to prevent so disagreeable an intro• duction in future. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday Edward Darland, an Irish excavator, was charged with assaulting, and assisting in robbing, John Parsons, a cab-driver, livint at No. I, Edward -street, Dorset-square, of 14s. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fully commit ted to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Thomas Ambrose, Peter Gardner, Thomas Ilartwell, and George Hartwell, who had been appre hended on a Queen's Bench warrant, were brought up in the custody of Eagles, an officer of this establishment, for the purpose of being held to bail. The prisoners are parishioners of Hackney, and were, with several others, not yet in custody, on the 14th of August List engaged in taking away several acres of corn which were part of lammas land, a right to the possession of which, whether with crops growing on it or not, was claimed by the parishioners. The property, i. c., lammas land, is rented, during the period of non-possession by the parishioners, by a Mr. Wm. Adamson, an extensive far mer, at Hackney, and who had not been able, owing to the backwardness of the season, to gather in the corn. Since the forcible seizure actions have been brought by Mr. Adamson against the parties, among whom arc the pri soners, and the question will be tried in the Court of Queen's Bench. The case before the magistrate was whether he had the power to hold the parties to bail, they having been taken into custody upon a warrant issued by the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. The prisoners were appre• hended on Saturday by Eagles, and lodged in a sponging house in Chancery-lane, as they could not be taken to the Court of Queen's Bench, that Court not sitting, and the Judges themselves being out of town. Mr. Jacob William Lock, for the prisoners, contended that, from the wording of the warrant, in case the Court of Queen's Bench did not sit, the alternative rested with a Magistrate at a police office to accept bail. Mr. Corner, a clerk from the Crown-office, appeared to secure the bails, and the prisoners were bound over in their own recognizances, which were severally in 80/., to attend at the next Court of Queen's Bench. UNION-HALL. Benjamin Lapping, a man of respectable appearance, and who has hitherto borne an excellent character for honesty, was brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with stealing a bag containing 411., the property of George Edward Noone, landlord of the Griffin public-house, in Church-street, Newington. The prisoner declined saying anything, merely observing that he should reserve his defence until his trial, when he trusted that he should be in a condition to prove his inno cence of the alleged charge.—He was committed for trial. WuArm, MURDER.—The greatest sensation has prevailei during the last few days in Newcastle, Gates head, Sze., owing to a young man, named Lee, having met his death under circumstances of a most brutal and revolt ing character. The deceased, who lived in Gallowgate, Newcastle, had been spending the evening in Gateshead and having remained out beyond his accustomed hour had taken refuge in a glass-house belonging to Mr. Price. where being somewhat intoxicated, he had fallen asleep. He had previously been in company with three persons, of the names of Errington, Brown, and Wardman (the parties charged with his murder), who it seems had followed him into Mr. Price's works, and having placed a quantity of straw about his body barbarously set fire to it, not only by means of a straw rope, which they made and greased for the purpose, but also by placing :a quantity of red hot cinders on his breast. Having perpetrated this brutal and cowardly act they decamped, and the deceased, aroused by the pain oc casioned by the flames, ran out of the manufactory, crying " Fire, fire !" This soon brought several persons to his assistance, who speedily extinguished the fire, and by whom he was removed to the infirmary, where he lingered until Monday evening in the greatest agony, when he expired. A coroner's inquest was held on the following day, and by adjournment on Wednesday, when a verdict of " Wilful Murder " was returned against the three individuals men tioned above, who were immediately committed, on the co roner's warrant, to take their trials for the offence.
