;PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS► We perceive, from the communication of our Lis bon Correspondent, which we received last night by express from Falmouth, that the movement in favour of the Charter of Don Pedro, which for some time promised so successful a result, has for the present failed. We can understand that in a country devas tated and exhausted as Portugal has been by civil wars, a considerable portion even of Lae classes most disposed in themselves to adhere to a moderate and constitutional system of government may be unable or disinclined to make further sacrifices in support of a cause which has already cost all classes so much. An active and unscrupulous democracy, possessed of the powers and resources of Government, has, it appears, been too strong for the limited means possessed by the few brave men who volunteered to take up the cause of Constitutional Monarchy. Notorious Miguelites have been accepted without scruple as allies of the ultra- Liberal Constitutionalists, and the Clubbists and their Ministerial allies are for the present tri umphant. They will do well, however, to make a prudent and temperate use of their victory. Let them take advantage of the b r i e f repose af. forded them t o se ttl e the Constitution, now about to come again under discussion, upon a moderate basis ; let them remember that there are other parties in the country to be consulted besides the mob leaders and mob journals of the metropolis ; let them expel from among them all blood-thirsty notions of vengeance upon fallen adversaries; let them look, in brief, to the permanent welfare and contentment of Portugal, and not to the ephemeral interests and paltry gratification of a party. Unless the acts of the party now in the ascendant in Portugal are moved by this spirit, we fore see that the contest, thus suddenly terminated, will be ere long again renewed ; public discontent will never be without a banner under which to display itself. Their country, to which, whatever an anti-English faction may say, we sincerely wish well, will be the perpetual victim of the selfishness of its rulers, and the ruin, towards which it appears latterly to have made no small progress, will be decisively and finally consurnmated.—Morning- Chronicle. Throughout the vast British empire, embracing both extremities of the globe, there is at this moment but one field of battle—there is but a single bone of strife—there is no more than one definite subject of deep and pressing anxiety ; and each and all of these are afforded by the state of Ireland. From Ireland, therefore, and' from what passes there, and from what we are menaced with in that dark and inauspicious quarter, it is morally impossible for any thinking Eng lishman long t o wit hd raw hi s med i tations. A' paper which we have received from a trustworthy and ho nourable correspondent is inserted elsewhere under the head of the " Irish Magistracy." There is no depart ment of the Monarchy in Ireland which has not served Lord Mulgrave and his coadjutors as a hot-bed where to hatch their brood of public enemies, created for pur poses directly subversive of the State, " bribed by the money of the English people to betray the interests of the English people." The Police Bill was passed for no end but to place a standing army of constables, bearing muskets at the di s p osa l o f M r . D an i e l O'Con nell. The promise made by Lord John Russell, tendered by him -in the most solemn manner when driven to the wall by the Opposition Leader—a promise that the bulk of the subordinate police functionaries should be selected and appointed by the gallant officer, of tried loyalty and honour, who was announced as commander of the whole—that pro mise has in no part of it been realized. It has been kept as all the pledges of Mr. Daniel O'Connell and his assistant -agitators, the Sheils, the M'Hales, and the rest of them were kept when they declared before the Parliament and the country that the act of Roman Catholic Emancipation would entirely content them ; that they would receive it with everlasting gratitude, and would absolutely forbear from using any of the privileges or powers derived under it to the despoiling, the enfeebling, or in any manner disturbing, the pos sessions or the peace of the Irish Church establish ment. Yes, ai that insidious promise was fulfilled by the unprincipled men whose whole existence from that hour to the present has been one unvarying violation of it, even so has Lord John Russell adhered to the engagement by which he disarmed the adverse suspi cions of Sir Robert Peel and the great body of Con servatives, and betrayed them, the Conservative Mem bers both of the Commons and the House of Peers, into a vote of acquiescence in that cun ning but most profligate Police Bill. As Mr. Daniel O'Connell kept no faith, so we repeat, in the reforming spirit of an obsequious morality, did the Whig operative statesman keep no faith. He us xl Colonel Shaw Kennedy as a decoy-duck, to quiet the apprehensions of honest and public-spirited men ; but the instant that, under the cloak of that gallant gen tleman's popularity, his Lordship had secured the Bill for new modelling the Police, he began those ma noeuvres which he has since diligently followed up, for perverting it into an engine of disloyal Popery, treating Colonel Shaw Kennedy's recommendations with such contempt, that the gallant officer, we are told, now never dreams of troubling the Government with any, while Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the Priests, and the demagogue associators, abuse, as was ine vitable, their inordinate power, by manning the police in all its ranks and branches with officers and privates upon whom the revolutionists can depend, whatever the Precestants and gentry of the land, with those of their fellow -subjects attached to the interests of the British monarchy, may do, or however fruitlessly they may cry for justice and protection. There are (says our Correspondent), some fifty of the class of sti pendiary magistrates in Ireland, of whom nineteen were introduced into the Police system after, and in consequence of, the New Police Bill. What de scription of persons have been so introduced, and what 'l..fort are candidates for the office under Lord Mul i't-leie• ,is plainly enough implied by our Correspondent • • ascribes the incessant and virulent abuse rged from every pore of agitation against the • hekelitary proprietors of estates, who have likewise heretofore constituted the majority of resident Magis trates throughout Ireland, to a longing desire for the extinction of all such Magistrates, that their places may be filled by Radical stipendiaries of the right O'Connell breed, and not less eminently - fitted to poise the scale of justice between rebel and loyalist than the O'Connell policemen are to wield the musket and the sabre. Why is it, as our Correspondent shrewdly asks, that the constabulary force of Ireland was formerly a perpetual topic of brutal invective with O'Connell, and are now treated as the favoured corps, the house hold troops of Popery ? Why, for the obvious rea son, that the patronage of the police forcers in the 'ands of O'Connell himself ! which, as people are aware, " makes all the di ft in the world." That worthy personage, therefore, has henceforth little to fear from any of those awkward obstacles which might, under otlier circumstances, be presented by an armed power, maintained for the enforcement of the laws. But what does his patronage consist of ? We speak now of police patronage only. The Stiteendiaries," as they are called, and a numerous body, as above stated, we find them, have an income of about 6001. per annum each; 34 sub-inspectorships, at 300 i. a-year ; chief-constables, all but infinite, 200/. a-y ear ; sub-constables, thousands, who may at O'Connell's bidding be composed of his own crea tures exclusively, 301. per annum ; and the protection of the Peaceful and the well-disposed throughout the whole kingdom is committed to guardians of that ex emplary stamp I As usual, the O'Connell partisans parade their official " tables" to prove how many professed Prstestants there are in the police body, aria 'what a moderate portion of priest-ridden Papists. The hypocrites, is not the choice of constables in ;rie priests ? and do they select dependents for their 10.yeilty, let what will be their creed ? But if one law tan be perverted in its execution so can another. Our Correspondent reminds us, that while the Police Bill is made a machine for packing the lower functionaries of the Government, so has the Bill, enabling the Crown to appoint Lords-Lieutenant of Counties in Ireland, been frustrated in practice by a virtual superseding of the authority which it was the declaredohject of the Bill to create. That Bill p ass ed w hen Lord Melbournehim self was Secretary for the Home Department, and when Lord Grey was Prime Minister. The Home Secretary beiu&the aforesaid Lord Melbourne—stated expressly in the House of Lords, that the great object of the Bill was the establishing a resp onsible atithoiity each county, whom the Lotd Chancellor ritight resort to, and upon whom lie might rest, when applicctions were made for appointments to the commission of the peace, Here, then, was a positive assnrenet tlivieh that the Lord Lieutenant of the totrtity should be consulted, and his advice Mtended to, in the nomination of county magistrates. But it appears that perfidy if 3 catching Lord Melbourne has kept faith with PAtiiiilMlll fn what concerns the Lotd bietittilAllCV Mil—witness the celebrated case of Lord be Vesci and Mr. Cassidy-- to precisely the same laudable extent It' Lord John Russell's conscience carried him with regard to Colonel Kennedy, and as the agitating Papists, one and all, manifested their integrity towards the Protestant Church arid Clergy. The police, in spite of Colonel , Kennedy, are diosen and patronized by O'Connell. The magistrates, in spite of the Lords Lieutenant, and of the law as expounded by Lord Melbourne on introducing it, are named by Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It is throughout a system of low-minded, gross, and calculating baseness, which we protest before Heaven our astonishment and mortification that the blood of Englishmen has endured for a single hour.—Times. The fable of the mountain in labour bringing forth a mouse, has just been exemplified in the case of the Irish Election Petition Fund. The small knot of ultras, headed on this side of the water by no less a personage than Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode, the printer, threatened a few weeks since to unseat the whole of the Liberal Representatives for Ireland. The grand lever to be employed on the occasion was a certain something which the parties called an Election Petition Fund. Meg Dodds, in her celebrated book on Cookery, before giving her instructions as to the best mode of cooking a hare, advises that the hare be first caught. Never was there more judicious advice. It had been well for Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode, and the other ultras who co-operated with him on the late occasion, if they had paid some more attention than they seem to have done to the sensible counsel of Mrs. Dodds. It would have been fully as wise in them, before talking in such pompous and inflated terms of the great things they were to do with their Election Petition Fund, to have raised the Fund itself. But, no; that would not do for them. They never dreamt of the possibility of failure in the article of raising the money. They thought that they had only to advertise that subscriptions would be received to insure a perfect torrent of 1001. notes into the coffers of their treasurer. Simple souls that they were I They knew not their own party so well as we did. 'We said, on the first blush of the thing, that the whole affair would end in smoke. The mountain in labour bringing forth a mouse was nothing to this. The mighty labour of Mr. Andrew Spottis woode and his foolish friends will not be productive of even a mouse itself. A mouse, though insignificant enough, without controversy, is still something, but these " labourers" produce nothing at all. The Morning Post, which did its best so long as there was the shadow of a shade of hope that anything worthy of the name of a fund could be filched from the pockets of the Tories wherewith to harass the Li beral Members for Ireland, if they could not unseat them, cheered the simpletons on in their folly. Now our Contemporary, seeing the utter hopelessness of the enterprise, gives it up in despair. In his paper of yes terday he says—" The Irish election petition fund is not proceeding so successfully as could be wished." We dare say not. But might not our Contemporary have made a slight alteration in his phraseology, and said that it is not proceeding at all. That would have been the truth ; for the subscribing part of the business is now notoriously at a stand-still. Or if a guinea does now and then stray into the coffers of the treasurer of the fund, it is swallowed up by anticipa tion in the advertising and other expenses—which is just practically the same as if there were no subscrip tion at all. However, there is one consolation for the unlucky wights who have been gulled out of their mo ney. They have had their names advertised in the public prints as pre-eminently the friends of the Con stitution. And call you this nothing at such a time as the present ? One word more. We congratulate the Liberal Members for Ireland on this dead failure of the Conservative conspiracy to harass, if not unseat, them. If they ever felt the slightest uneasiness at the daring and unprincipled---may we not add unconstitu tional ?—attempt to frustrate the objects of those by whose suffrages they were elected, they may not only now be at perfect rest on the subject, but they can afford to laugh at the ridicule with which their ma licious, though impotent, enemies have covered them selves.--Morning Advertiser. The report mentioned lately, in some of the foreign ournals, of an intrigue being on foot to marry the " innocent Isabel" of Spain to the young Duke d'Au male, one of the sons of the King of the French, gains some degree of consistence from the rumour having been distinctly alluded to by Arguelles in the Cortes, for the purpose of protesting against the policy that could dictate such a match, without calling forth a word of contradiction on the part of any Member of the Spanish Government. From this circumstance it may be fairly inferred that the report of such a matri monial speculation being on foot is not altogether groundless. Whether it will ripen into a reality is another question. If it should, the treaty of marriage will, of course, only be auxiliary to another treaty to se cure the intervention of a French army in " settling" the affairs of Spain, which intervention will be so managed as to settle the affairs of that country in the most cfFectual manner fur reducing it to the condition of a province of France. Thus all the British blood that has been shed, all the British gold that has been expended in Spain, during the stupid and disgraceful Whig non-intervention war, will have been squandered only for the purpose of opening a new road to Louis Philip for the indulgence of his personal ambition, and the aggrandisement of his family. If, on the other hand, the speculation fails, there will be official denials of its ever having been entertained. But, of this we arc quite certain, that Louis Philip will never agree to any proposition of direct military interference in Spain unless for some substantial consideration. The bait of family aggrandisement is probably the most alluring one that could be offered him, and, should he swallow it, he will pay dearly for the vain ambition of the alliance, if his warlike enterprises in Spain should not be conducted with greater ability, and attended by a better fortune, than those of our own incapable Go vernment. If, however, he should succeed in setting up the now tottering throne of the " innocent Isabel," in order to place his own son upon it, no one who has observed the hollow and treacherous nature of the alliance which France maintains with this country can doubt, for a moment, that the immediate result throughout the Spanish Peninsula will be, to " inflict a heavy blow, and great discouragement, on British influence and British commerce." In Portugal the result of the absurd and ill-conducted system of in terference pursued by the Whigs has been to com pletely destroy the influence and abolish the commer cial advantage s which Great Britain had for centuries possessed in th a t country. E ven the privileges which British subjects enjoyed by treaty, or rather by a series of treaties, of a peculiar jurisdiction under their own judge conservator, by whom all cases affect ing the lives, liberties, and properties of British sub jects resident in Portugal were tried, have been swept away by the Liberal proteges of Lord Palmerston. The case of Colonel Bacon, banished, without any proved offence or form of trial, from the country which he had served with his sword, and by the " Liberals," who would never have been in a situati on to exerc i se such tyranny but for the lavish expenditu re o f B r i t i sh treasure and blood, is a striking, but not solitary, instance of the melancholy effects which the Palmer stonian policy has had in breeding contempt for the English name in Portugal, where it used to inspir e affection and command respect. But to return to Spain. The late Ministry of that unfortunate, dis tracted, and, we must add, demoralised country, were represented by French journalists as having been the monstrous product of English intrigue, co-operating with the m ilit ary treason o f t h e L a G ranja revolu tionists. Whether that was so or not, one thing is cer tain,—and t h at i s , t h at i n support of the imbecile and profli ga t e C a l atrava Administration, which contrived to make away with, in some yet unexplained manner, vast sums of money, leaving the Queen's armies in a state of destitution, and most of the civil functionaries unpaid, the most zealous exertions of the "juvenile whip" of the Foreign -office were made. But in vain ; the Calatrava Administration, after assisting bon Carlos to escape from the blockaded mountains of the north, and overrun two-thirds of Spain., same power hy trise=a tfiii . 4o47l inbiri*4l6o; fell by .the hietty about by French plotting, as the for mer was said to have been assisted by English intrigue. Here again is evidence of the hollowness and insin cerity of the french alliance with our Uutterhttient. Our Netters may retollect the biAeriiig Het loriA Agb took phWe betVreiiii die bfgAii of the French Mi iiittry i.lhd that of Lord Pahncrston, and the disgrace ful revelations which were mutually threatened. Here again is proof of the precarious tenure of the Anglo- Gallic alliance. French policy has now undoubtedly the upper hand in Spain. English influence is gone— shattered to pieces, and annihilated like the English legion. A French patty is now predominant at Madrid, and once more there is a talk of French intervention. We say wain that no uch intervention will take place unless Louis Philip obtains a substantial considera tion. He would, no doubt, like to possess himself of Spain, and make it another Belgium by placing one of his family on the throne. But then he cannot do this without obtaining time consent of the Autocrat of Russia, with whom we believe him to have in secret a better understanding, and a more intimate and confi dential alliance, than he has with the English Govern ment. Will the Autocrat, who affects to be favourable to the claims of Don Carlos, give that consent ? We have no doubt that the Russian Autocrat, the treachery of whose finessing friendship even the King of Hol land experienced, would throw Don Carlos overboard to-marrow to secure the assistance of France in carry ing on his ambitious projects in the East. English power and English commerce have long since excited the jealousy and stimulated the rival exertions of the Russian Government. We pointed out this tendency of the Russian policy years ago, and we have seen our opinions frequently repeated since in quarters where they formerly met with no acceptance. We did our duty in raising a warning voice against the designs of Russia before events had made them as manifest as they are at present. The country will do well to place as little reliance upon the sincerity of Louis Philip's friendship as upon that of the crafty and ambitious Nicholas,—Morning Herald. If the political condition of a Minister were like the moral condition of a man—if it were the duty of a Minister to bear patiently every circumstance to which that condition is liable, and under no circum stance of pain or degradation voluntarily to abandon it—we should in that case have much reason to com mend the philosophy of the present servants of the Crown. But we have very grave doubts as to the truth of this hypothesis, and we think that Ministers, in acting upon it, as they do, are, to say the least, rather hasty. The doubt is not ours merely, but that of the public ; and what if it should be a nen founded doubt ? What if it should prove, upon the most mature reflection of the most erudite moralists, that Ministers are not bound to their political condi. tion as they are to their moral being—that there are some things which they ought not to endure— and that there arc circumstances of disappointment which would not only justify but recommend their abandonment of official responsibility ? Why, if this be so, their philosophy resolves itself into want of feeling, and their magnanimity into meanness. Thus, then, the matter stands—if it be true that the political Ministers of the Crown are bound to continue to be so as long as they can, no matter what failures and discomfitures they meet with, then the present Ministers are philosophers, and entitled to much respect for the perseverance with which they cling to office by means which would kill some fasti dious people through mere disgust. But if it be not true that Ministers are bound to stay in office as long as they can, whether fortunate or unfortunate, suc cessful or unsuccessful, then the present Ministers, in submitting to what they have done, and holding place by the means which they have resorted to, are the meanest and most contemptible set of people that ever disgraced high station. lf we take the first and more favourable view of Ministerial conduct we shall be at no loss for circumstances upon which to found our con gratulations. The cheerfulness with which Ministers submit to disappointment, and the absolute forgetful ness which they and all belonging to them appear to entertain regarding their confident expectations, as soon as it is found that these expectations cannot be real ised, are quite charming instances of the secret sub mission to duty which is the soul of philosophic wis dom, and the only " sober certainty of waking bliss" which humanity affords. It was but the other day that we found the most favoured organ of the Admi nistration rejoicing with the most innocent cheerful ness in the support which Ministers had received in the late general election. The support of the country, it said, " has been triumphantly shown in the result of the late election, which, in despite of all the arts upon which the Tories relied for success, has placed Ministers at the head of a Parliamentary majority sufficient to ensure their continuance, and the progress of the principles to which they are pledged, and of the policy they have hitherto pursued." Now, this cheerful view of Ministerial circumstances and prospects must be admitted to be a great example of resolution to abide with philosophic temper the fate of the late general election, even according to the public estimation of it. Everybody knows that Mi nisters have lost by the late election. They them selves do not 'deny it, though they are too philo sophical to proclaim it, and to complain of it. On the contrary, we find them, through their favoured journal, treating this very loss as a triumph. It is very true that their majotity, small as it was before the election, is now smaller. But do they complain ? Far from it ; they say the result of the election is a triumphant result. There are very many who would.think that an election by which the Ministerial majority was diminished, and by which the electors of England returned a majority hostile to the Admi nistration, was not a " triumphant result." There are many who would think it a most preposterous and impudent absurdity to call such a result a " triumphant result" for the Administration ; but such persons are evidently of a different philoso phical school front that of her Majesty's Ministers. fire principles of philosophy, by the light of which . men measure the good cie - evil of events—the' tridinph or disgrace which attends them—make all the diffe rence. A glimpse of the Ministerial philosophy is afforded, even in the statement of that triumph which, somehow or another, they derive from a diminished majority. The first particular of the triumph is this— that the diminished majority (the fact of its diminution is philosophically passed over) is suffi c i en t to i nsure the continuance of Ministers in office. This, as by far the most important- part of the " triumph," is put first, and then—as it were from an afterthought— something is said of the progress of their principles, and of the policy they have pursued. The unphiloso phical would perhaps have preferred to hear something about the progress of the principles of the Constitu tion ; but Ministers knew better, and foresee how much more convenient it will be to pledge themselves only to their own principles and their own policy. But it would not be doing sufficient justice to the philosophy of Ministerialists if we merely compared their cheerful view of events with the events them selves. Not only can they consider defeat as a tri umph after defeat has come, but the very circumstances which they did complain of as grievous when they hoped they were about to be changed for the better they now are able to describe as satisfactory and tri umphant, because they are not changed for the better, nor likely to be so, but quite the contrary. This is a touch of Ministerial philosophy almost sublime. Ministers are weaker in the House of Commons since the late election than they were before it. The love of the electors for the Ministry was not great at the beginning, and it has pleased Heaven to decrease it on better acquaintance. What, then, can be said in sufficient praise of the philosophy v o e fbenth t they called the co those who call th e present strength of Go at a triumph" when o we acquaint overn the n public t in the late Parliament nothing better than weak ness ? The very aut h or i ty from which we have r i n m i s p t r h y a n h t l a y s " s t a lffe t r t e h d e t e h n e d of q s u ep ot t e e d m , b w er hic ( l a i fter says the ge neral election) that Ministers have a m ajority sufficient to ensure their continuance, and the progress of their political principles, said at the end of July, before the election had taken place, that the state of parties in the douse of Commons was such as made "Govern- , TIT I4n UN, LONbOSt, tffigSDAY, OCTOBVR went feAbla and Opposition presumptuous." When sEe thatthough this atitte of altdifsisttut made bet ti!t for the. Goveriithent, litic Worse, and yet still the Government is eiteerfiilly disii6so to regard itself as being in a " triumphant" position, we mtist ledge that the philosophy of this Administration is Beyond conipari& But, ds hinted at the beginning, iii pr i HnOftipti Aditillilstration is admirable, on the itypothe that the Multi dlty of A Minister is to stay in, so is the conduct of the Ada ministration disgraceful and ignominious to the last degree if that be not his principal and paramount duty. If disappointment and defeat be just reasons for lower ing the tone of Ministerial arrogance, and preparing to a'lvocate in a non-official station those principles of policy which officially the Minister has been unable to carry into effect, then the triumphant tone affect-3d by Ministai at present is at once ridiculous and offen sive.—Moriting Post. A RUSSIAN TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA M. Anatole de Demidoff has written a highly amusing letter from Odessa, and this letter has been printed in the Journal des Debals. We shall be well pleased to see fur ther communications from this able young traveller. M. Demidoff appears to have had some hardships to endure before arriving at Odessa. " More than once," he says, "we despaired of ever reaching the land of promise. Our hardships being now passed, many agreeable recollections remain, but I would scarcely advise any one who intends to visit Odessa to choose the Danube steam-boats as his mode of conveyance. They arc attended with annoyances which the beautiful scenery of the river scarcely atones for. I can, from my own experience, advise those who conic after me rather to travel through Poland and Brody, if they intend to visit the south of Russia. When one is in Vienna, however, the temptation is certainly very great. Who does not wish to accompany the Danube through all her windings ? And then we are reminded how beautiful it must be to be conveyed 300 leagues down the river by the combined force of the current and steam. The Nador carries you to Pesth, the Franz I. to Drenkova, the Argo to the end of the journey. No wonder that, with such a prospect before them, people embark without farther reflection. Many disappointments await the bold and credulous, but one hope at least is fulfilled : the lover of the picturesque is abundantly gratified. On this point the Danube most religiously observes all her promises. She never ceases to occupy our attention and to excite our wonder ; now with her glorious watery mirror flowing tran quilly between her widely severed shores, anon rushing with her mutinous waves through the time-honoured bar riers of the Carpathian and Balkan mountains." Our traveller continued en the Danube till he reached Giurgewo. Thence he proceeded overland through Wallachia to Buc harest. He speaks in high terms of the administration of the liospodar Alexander Ghika. The journey from Bucharest to Jassy, through inundated lands, was attended with greater difficulties than the trip with the steamer down the Danube. At Skulani,.on the Pruth, Demidoff and his companions had to perform a quarantine of fourteen days. From Odessa, whence his letter is dated, he was on the point of proceeding to Yalta, on the southern coast of Crimea. There it was his intention to search for strata of coal. After having set his men to work, Demidoff pro posed to visit Wosnesensk, where the cavalry manoeuvres are at present performing in the presence of the Emperor. " More wonders," he says, " than Russia has ever seen as sembled under the most brilliant reigns will here excite the astonishment of the spectator. The Emperor Nicholas su perintends in these plains of our military colonies a most colossal review of cavalry, one unequalled even in the annals of warfare. Three hundred and sixty squadrons, compris ing 60,000 horse, have been concentrated on this point. Moreover, detachments hare been selected from every regi ment of the military colonies, forming the nucleus of a body of 300,000 infantry. These veterans, all of whom have served at least 20 years, are divided into 28 battalions, of 800 men each. To these must be added 168 pieces of ordnance, the horse artillery, and 24 squadrons of 1.50 men each, composed of the sons of the colonists, youths of sixteen years old, all of them already organised upon a military footing. Such, as nearly as possible, is the assem bled force which, during fourteen days, is to manoeuvre on the plains of Wosnesensk under the eyes of the Emperor. Last November, when this review was determined on, Wosnesensk was an unimportant village, scarcely noticed in the wide Steppe ; at present New Russia counts another in the list of her cities. Within a few months Wosnesensk has been transformed into a place worthy of being an im perial residence. A palace for the Emperor and his illus trious family, two hundred houses for the imperial suite, a ballroom, eighty metres in length and thirty in breadth, four dining rooms, proportioned to the number of the guests expected ; a garden, adorned with 60,000 trees—this, all this, has arisen as if by enchantment. Nor are these build ings merely temporary erections of wood, but of beautiful and durable stone ; the plantations are blooming and ver dant, thanks to the indefatigable care and persevering la bour of the colonists. Imagine to yourself in front of this newly raised city, a range of tents five leagues in extent, and you will admit, I think, that the spectacle must be one of no ordinary splendour. This glorious military pageant has been arranged by General Count Witt. The honour of presiding over it was due to the veteran, the noble godson of the Empress Catherine—to the chief of the military co lonies. This indefatigable man is still full of activity in the performance of his official duties. In his tours of in spection he yearly travels more than 21,000 wersts." TEMPETIANCE.—If an estimate of the habits of our provincial population were formed from reading alone the country papers, a conclusion extremely favourable to , the self-denying principles of the " thaw-bacons" would be arrived at. " Temperance Societies" appear everywhere, and " Teetotalism" is exalted to the third:Heaven—where, by-the-bye, we opine it generally resides ; for when we chance to go into the country we never see any appearance whatever either of Teetotalism or Temperance. We are disposed, therefore, sometimes to think that it lives and flourishes chiefly in the columns of our provincial contem poraries. Certainly the public-houses, both on the road and off' the road, are to the full as,numerous as ever they were. W e hope, however, that Temperance, the mother of so many virtues, is really progressing, and that drunkenness is on the decline in the country as well as in town. But so long as the governors of a count r y pr e fer the proceeds of the Revenue to the interests of morality, so long will every lover of his species be grieved and disgusted by daily and hourly witnessing vice and misery, the attendant of intem perance, pervading a great portion of the population. Let the condition of the people be raised ; place within their reach the natural and proper objects of human desire, and they will not brutalize themselves by constantly resorting to the poisonous stimulants of the distillery. VOLUNTARY CHURCHES.—On Wednesday morn ing, at. 8 o'clock, about 400 gentlemen, friends to the exten sion of Voluntary Church Principles, sat down to a public breakfast in the Assembly Rooms, Ingram-street, the Rev. A. MaOshall of jKirkihtillneeid the 'chair, supported by the Rev. Dr. Brown of Edinburgh, the Rev. Mr. Campbell of Irvine, the Rev. Mr. Morrison of Bathgate, the Rev. Mr. King of Glasgow, the Rev. Dr. Peddie of Edinburgh, the Rev. Dr. Ritchie, the Rer. Mr. Hogg of Haddington, the Rev. Mr. M'Coll, and a number of other distinguished clergymen. The meeting, in consequence of the present sitting of the United Secession Synod in this city, was at tended by a considerable number of ministers and elder's be longing to that body.—Scots Times. On Tuesday two Russian lads, named Itosembert and Sjoblon, sailors on board a Russian vessel, now in the Hull docks, were brought before the Mayor and town Magistrates, charged with passing counterfeit coins to some extent to several tradesmen of the town. The young men gave the following account of the transaction, which was confirmed by the statement of the Captain and others : A man came on board the vessel on Saturday, and inquired if there were any clothes for sale, on which several of the crew sold things to him. The fellow apparently gave a liberal price for the things, but on examination it was found that the whole of the money in which he paid them con sisted of counterfeit coin, which the prisoners, who were amongst the sellers, had ignorantly passed. The Magis trates, conceiving the explanation given cempletely exone rated the lads, discharged them, and gave orders to the police to make strict search after the man who had com mitted the fraud.—Hull Packet. As Mr. A. J. W. Pill, the son of a Naval Officer, was out shooting, near Penzance, on Saturday last, in en deavouring to draw the boughs of a blackthorn towards him with the but end of his fowling-piece, he lifted the hammer over the percussion-cap sufficiently high to cause it to ex plode, and lodged the charge of shot in his groin, which killed him on the spot. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned. The de ceased was an only Briton. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday evening, a singular accident took place, near to the Three Arrows public-house, as the people were returning to Middleton from Heaton Park races. Near the above public-house, the shafts of a gig broke, and the horse ran away with them. One of the shafts ran into the horse's belly, and killed it on the spot. The owner was riding it at the time, and is also seriously injured.—Manchester C;"' uardian. On Tuesday morning, last, a consici. erable number of ."fitness the first p erso ns assembled in C ast l e -hill C hapel, to celebration of marriage i n a Dissenting Mebling House, under the new Act, and we must confess that eve.: y part of the service was conducted with that marked pro,nriet.y, which must have impres se d th e au di ence w i t h t h e selem‘ lll and interest of the occasion.—Northampton Chronicle, , POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. An old man naated Reading, who has been for many years a potstealer, and another titan and a woman, were or'do;ht before the Lord Mayor, charged With having stolen a pewter pot aild a taint. Reading had been just diel+arged from prison for steal ing property from publicans, and lia! been in the habit of Wearing 11 greatcoat, which was so constructed a§ to be a complete feeeptacie for pewter of the largest size. Ile had been obser4ed by a lad, in company with the other man, at the Isar of a public-house, ordering a half pint of beer and manoeuvring when the bar-gitl t.►urned her back. The boy goon afterwards felt a pot in the old fellow's coat pocket, and informed the girl, who told him to follow the thief. Reading walked call - illy out of the house, and turned down a lane to the door of a house, whieh he tried to open, but, not being able to gain admittance, he took the pot out of his pocket, and flung it in at the first floor window. Pomplet, a very active Aker, having been informed of what had occurred, contrived to take the old fellow into custody in the morning while he was in bed, and found the pot in the room, and a pint pot belonging to Mr. Gurney, of Old-street-road, up the chitnney. The house, which was a miserable one, belonged to the woman, Mr. Gurney identified the pint pot, which was quite new. The LORD MAYOR—What do they do with these pots ? Mr. Gurney—They get so much a pound for the pewter, and they turn a good deal of it into halfcrowns and shillings, which they eventually pay back to us for liquor and good change.—(A laugh.) The Loa► MAYOR—Do you mean to say that they pass them off in base coin to you ? Mr, Gurney—Yes. A pint 'will make a great many half-crown pieces, and some of the thieves hare boasted that if they .robbed us they paid us back in coin from our own property,—(Laughter.) Reading said that ho bad been unfortunately mistaken for another person two or three times, and suffered for the vices of others. He knew nothing at all of the pewter about which he had been accused. It was stated that the old fellow was so bad that his son wished to get rid of him altogether. In fact, thieving was his favourite labour from. his youth, and he toiled in the vo cation as persevering and intensely as the most industrious mechanic worked for the honest support of a family. The LORD MAYou—lf he was a young man we could contrive to send him out of the country altogether. Reading—lt is not worth your while. I gets older every day, and I can't expect to do much more. I aint worth your notice at all, my Lord, and I hope you'll let me off. There's plenty of young fellows as does the thing better nor me; why don't you grab them ?—(A laugh.) The LOAD MAYOR—I will send you to 13ridewell for two months. You are the worst old fellow I have ever had be fore me. Reading—Well, its better to go there than to a workhouse, howsomdever. Committed for two months. The other two prisoners were discharged. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Mowbray and Lipman Isaac Milhauscn were finally examined on the charge of uttering a forged check, with intent to defraud Messrs. Praed and Co., the bankers, of the sum of 61. 17s. The case was fully sub stantiated, and papers prosiaced on which attempts had been made at imitating the handwriting of Mr. H. Samuels, by whom the prisoner, Lipman Isaac Milhausen, had formerly been employed as warehouseman. Both prisoners were fully committed. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday Henry Gates, aged 13, and George Green, aged 14, were brought to this office in the custody of a po lice officer of the N division, charged with loitering about the neighbourhood of Islington, with intent to commit a felony. The prisoners, who were dirty-looking fellows, made up in the style of the bone-picking fraternity, made the most horrid faces, and affected to cry, but neither of them could squeeze out a tear ; they denied the charge, saying they never committed no robbery in all their lives, and they never picked up nothing votsumdever but bones, rags, and other things o' that ere kind. MAGISTRATE—Had the prisoners any bones or rags in their bags when you took them ? Constable—None what ever. Several questions were put to the prisoners in order to ascertain who and what they were, but they hesitated and contradicted themselves, yet they adhered positively to their assurances to his Worship that they were honest bone pickers. Green, however, who had the House of Correc tion depicted in his countenance. was identified as having been more than once a familiar inmate of that well-known establishment. Green—Lor, I vos niver there in all my life. He denied knowing anything of Gates until yesterday. How did you meet with him ? Green (hesitatingly, and scratching his head) —How did I meet vith him ? Vy, I met vith him happrepo.—(A laugh.) What do you mean by happrepo? Green (looking askew)—Vot do I mean ? Vy, I means that I met him by chance, and ye vorked together ; but vo vere not lookin' arter anythink vot the purleeceinun as said.—(lncreased laughter.) The MAGISTRATE said the happrepo meeting was an un fortunate affair, and the chance now was that they would go to the House of Correction. Green—l hopes not, Sir ;ve shall sartenly lose our .cha racter.—(Laughter.) The MAGISTAATE having no doubt as to the fact of their being thieves, and that they were loitering about with intent to commit felony, committed them to the House of Correction for six weeks, with hard labour ; on which they left the bar, and swaggered out with bravado. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A meanly-dressed young man, wearing mustachios, who had the appearance of having seen better days, presented himself before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, to beg some temporary assistance. His story was such as to interest the bench in his favour. His connections, he said, were of the highest respectability, one being a country magistrate, and another holding a rank in her Majesty's service. H e (applicant) had been an officer in the East India Company's service ; but, much against the wishes of his friends, he bad relinquished his commission. Since that period he had served in Portugal, Belgium, and lastly under General Evans, in Spain. While on service in Spain he was attacked by illness, and was sent home. He procured admission into Guy's Hospital, and after his discharge, he had attempted, but in vain, to procure the means of subsistence. Being very weak, and destitute, he could not reach Chichester on foot, and, as a last reson.7 o, he had resolved upon asking the Bench to send him down. Mr. CtiAmnEns—Why do you not ~:pPIY to your friends ? Applicant— Because an unfortunate misun..2erstanding has for some time past existed between myself and .7.'Y friends. If I could only get down to them, I have no doubt ni.:tters would be arranged. I assure you lam so beaten down by' illness and want, that it has been with difficulty I hal e been able to maintain existence. _ . VV Mr. CHAMBERS—What have you been doing since you left tks hospital ? Applicant—l know French, Spanish, and Hindostanee, perfectly, and I have employed myself as an interpreter. Mr. CHAMBERS desired the applicant to retire and write down a short history of himself and his distress. When the applicant presented the letter Mr. Chambers told him he would advance a sovereign to pay coach hire down to Chichester, and to enable him to have a trifle in his pocket. If at any time his prospects bettered he might return the money : but if matters should prove unfortu nate he need give himself no trouble on that account. The applicant expressed his gratitude and withdrew. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday .lohn Fancourt and Edwin Fancourt, father and son, residing at St. John's Wood, were brought up in custody, charged with a ruffianly assault on their next door neighbours, William and Mary Ann Cooper, the latter of whom, from the injury inflicted on her, is considered in great danger. The prisoners, who alleged that the complainant was the aggressor, were ordered to find bail to meet the charge at the sessions. JIM CROW IN TROIJBLE.—A remarkably funny-looking man, who at the station-house gave his name Jim Crow, was -- charged un d er t h e f o ll ow i ng c i rcums t ances : Turner, 26 D, on Saturday night, about eight o'clock, found the pri soner d run k an d i nca p a ble of taking care of himself in Ulster -terrace, Regent's Park, and in conse quence thereof lie (witness) took him into custody. Mr. RAWLINSON (to Jim Crow)—Well, Sir, why do you get drunk ? Jim (with a graceful bow)—l don't often do so, Sir, but the other night I couldn't help it. Mr. RAwLINsoN—Why couldn't you ?—Jim---Lord bless you, Sir, I'd kept myself sober for upwards of three weeks before, but it wz.s quite impossible I could hold out any longer. I and a friend of mine had a quarters or two between us. Mr. RAWLINSON—You are a very foolish fellow, Mr. Crow, but don't do so any more ; you are now discharged. Jim Crow returned his best thanks and " wheeled" out of the office. QUEEN-SQUARE. George Firth, formerly a publican in Castle street, Leicester-square, was yesterday placed at the bar for re examination, charged with forgery. David Mitchell, a baker, residing in Green -street, Leicester-square, had known the defendant about two years, and during that time he had dealt with him (prosecutor) for bread. Prisoner left that neighbourhood on the 28th of March, 1836, and was his debtor in the amount of 41.125. On the 27th ult. he called, and gave a check for 5/. 6s. on the Borough Bank, and received the difference in silver. The prisoner WAS fully committed for trial, and Mr. Miller was bound over in the sum of 2001. to prosecu consequence of his unwillingness being manifest. II in UNION-HALL. RobinsonYGilliam , alias Clarke, a well-dressed man, AP" parently between 40 and 50 years of age, and having a ver . strong resemblance t o th e l a te King George the Fourth, underwent a second examination on Saturday, charg ed .' " suspicion with stealing stealing several articles, consisting of writi n g_ desks, dressing cases, musical boxes, tic., the property Thomas Baring, of Cheshunt, Bucks. ' The complainant, betwe e n three and four mo nths ago, employed the prisoner, whom he had previous l y knovial to superintend the sale of various fancy goods at a ba zaar, which he had set up in the town of Egham. About titres weeks ago the complainant came to town,the prisoner in charge of the bazaar ; but , owing to the e former having been apprised that things were not g oing on as well as he expected at Egham, and that the prisoner, instead of attending to the bUsiness, was riding about the country to Windsor and other places, lie (the complaina nt ! sent down a letter, directing that the property in the bazan, should be delivered up to his wife, who was at Egham at the time. In a few days, however, after the transmission of the letter alluded to the prisoner left .Egham, taking with him the whole of the property contained in the baza t i t r ; and upon inquiry it was ascertained that he had come ... town with the property, a great portion of which was s covered, subsequently to his apprehension, at Proctor's Ho tel, in the Westminster-road, where he had taken up his abode, after his flight from Egham. The various articles which 'the prisoner was charged with h stealing were produced in Court, and amongst them teret were some duplicates of arti c les which he had ple d g ed pawn-broker's shops, and which articles belonge d to t his complainant, the pri s oner n o t having pledged then: in ex, own name, but in th e fi c titi ous name of " Geori, 3 King-street." The MAGISTRATE said that as the complainant ha d die. tinctly sworn that h e h a d no t au th or ised the prisoner t take away the property from Egham, the c harge am to one of felony. As, however, the evidence of complai ns nt° wife would be required to prove that she had given the ac t cused notice to deliver up the property at Egham, he Mils therefore be remanded for that purpose. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, a serious distil" bance took place in the vicinity of Peckham, owing W a pugilistic contest betwe e n t wo men , on e of whom has beeo so severely beaten, that he now lies in the hospital in gre at danger. the Inspector Warthers, of the P division, said that fight occurred between two men named William Loves and Morris M'Carthy, tanners, working at different tan' yards in Bermondsey. That the place selected by the combatants for the fight was a field to the south of Nuts' head, a sequestered spot, and at a considerable distance from any of the station-houses. When the police were in • formed that a pugilistic battle was going forward in the pla ce mentioned, several constables were immediately despatchea to the spot, but upon their arrival the fight bad just cow eluded, and another was about to com mence, until the sP ' pearance of the force prevented it. The two men rh o had been fighting, were di scovere d lyi ng a long the gro tto " in an insensible state, covered with blood ; and fr o subsequent inquiries it was ascertained that they h a s fought eighty-four rounds. One of them (M'Carthy) obliged to be taken off immediately to the hospital, vib e . r b e : on examination, it was disc o vered that three of his 1.1 were broken, besides being desperately beaten about the, head and face, which pres e nt e d di vers c uts and contu se( ' wounds in the conflict with his antagonist. The man wh° has been so dreadfully beaten is confined in the HosPit, a 7 and is considered in a precarious state, and his antage n ' s ' has also received severe injuries. The mob who bad sr sculpted to witness the fight, although on Sunday morning' evinced a strong inclination to prevent the police fro ls doing their duty and dispersing them. This, however, wa g a r at length effected, and after the combitants were taken e" the ground to have their wounds dressed, the mob, consist" ing of the lowest vagabonds, retired from the spot, In° . muring that their " sports" had been interfered with b 1 the police. The MAGISTRATE commended the police for repressing, such a scene as that described, and which was disgrac e, ' . to a civilised country. Directions were also given for the police to be on the alert in preventing the pugilistic e l l ; counters which were so frequent on Sunday morning s '- the environs of town. THAMES OFFICE. A man, named Hutchinson, who keeps a brothel in Ca roline -street, Commercial•road, and is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE for r e-exann c i nation yesterday, charged with robbing a tradesman, naT c Jones, of a sovereign and 4s. while he was asleep 10 8 beerhouse, called the Crown and Anchor, in White Holl c " place, Ratcliff. Mr. BALLANTINE said the suspicion attached to a /e r r suspicious person, and he should again remand the Pr' Boner, to give him an opportunity, if he could, of 'bringing forward the persons he had mentioned.
