Such an arrangement is likely to res'irre these gardens to their former estimation for beauty and fas Pion, and will greatly increase the funds of the Zoolo gical .....'society. NAPOLEON AND PRINCE ESTERIIAZY.—After the faun' battle of Austerlitz Austria lay prostrate at the feet of the :modern Attila, and Napoleon had thought of erecting Hungary. into a separate kingdom. It struck him he could :not alight upon a Sovereign more likely to be acceptable to time IluAgarians, and who would possess more power of his cwn, then the head of the great house of Galantha, the father of the present Prince Estochazy. The offer was re jected by the father as well as by the son, and Buonaparte, taking the latter prisoner when he made himself master of Vienna, tlzrew the young Prince into prison, to punish him for Ins contuma cy. When he had remained there some time, and hig physical, and moral strength were supposed to have given way, and itfras thought he could no longer resist the tempta tions of Ebert, and dominion, he was sent for in the middle of the .night, aod brought from the darkness of his dungeon into the brilliant; atmosphere of the Conqueror's Court. But neither the tempts:6°n nor the fascination of Napoleon's eagle eve, nor the fear v consequences, could move the loyal and youthful Prince, trod lie was thrown again into prison. There he remained until Napetben's great soul, touched with adrni- Vn and pity, realenstlhien. RIGHT esi? PF.Trrtolsr.--It cannot be denied that the order passed through the House towards the close of last Session, restricting the time of receiving, petitions private and public to half an hour only per day, was an interference with 1 . 1.1. e right of petition. A rember may have a petition, and ek in vain to present it for days—nay, for several weeks ; and wh en at length the opportunity offers, he is not at liberty to say a s vilabic in support, nor—according to the dictum of the Spea ker—ev en to mention the name of the place from wbieh the p, itition comes ; but the petitiou, as was described by tike Hon. Member for Hull, is " huddled into a bag sNitli less cerem tiny than attends the burial of a dead kitten." We are not in eiisposed to deny the advantages of an economical appro priatic is of the time of the House ; but we see no reason whate ve'r why Hon. Members should indulge in rhetorical exhib:dions for whole hours together, and yet refuse to the peop to The fair and proper exercise of their undoubted right to p. !titian Parliament. We suspect that the Order in clues ion has other conveniences more precious to ofticial and aris ocra ',teal Dredileetions than that of saving an hour or two.

Mr. HUME said, previously to the House going en with the Order of the Day, he wished to state that there being no regulation respecting the precedence of Orders on Saturdays, he should bring forward his notices of motion. He wished to know from the Noble Lord at the head of the Army Department in that House, whether he would have any objection to give the re turns for which be (Mr. Hume) intended to move. He had no wish to detain the House ; his object was to bring before them the mode of promotion in the army, navy, and marine forces, with a view to show the great inequality which existed, and the injustice alleged to have taken place in the late promotions.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think it would be for the interest of the country to add a single officer to the present force ; but he had documents in his possession setting forth the gross partiality in the late Brevet. He did not wish to trust to the statements, and the only way was to give him the returns for which he moved. He understood the objec tion was, that they would be unable to give a return shewing the services of every individual—that is, the date of his enterin g the army, and the number of years for which he had served, either on full or half-pay. If he got these returns, he thought ho could make out a case, showing that the public money had been misapplied, and that great partiality existed. He was of opinion that public services, not private favour, should re gulate all promotions in the various departments of the State. Lord HOWICK said, in answer to the question of the Honourable Gentleman, that he had to inform him that there was not the slightest objection to lay before the House all the returns moved for, so far as the same was con sistent with the carrvine on of the public business in that de partment with which he was connected. There was a great variety of returns, but he thought many of them were a mere repetition of the Reports already laid upon the table. The Hon. Member had asked for returns of the services of all those officers who had been, and who had not been, promoted. Now let the House consider what a task was by such a motion imposed upon the War-office. There were 450 officers of the line promoted-119 of the artillery, and 16 of the of the marines the total being 535. Some of these had entered into the army so far back as the year 1774 or 1775, and it would require a search through all the Commissions to obtain the required facts ; and even after all that labour, it would not be a fair representation of the service of the officer, as it would not show the service on staff; and every Hon. Member acquainted with the army must know that during the war some of the most efficient services were per formed by officers on staff. With respect to a return of the service at home and abroad, it would require an investiga tion of all the regimental books, and five or six years would scarce suffice for that purpose.—( Hear ) He would fur ther contend that the information asked for was not requisite, because it . the Hon. Member wished to prove that Brevet pro motion was not guided by length of service, he (Lord How ick) would admit that it was solely and exclusively guided by seniority.---( Hear, hear.) Instead of requiricg all tlitse returns in detail, if the Honouralle Member bad asked for the regulation under which brevet promotion was given, there would not be the smallest diffieuity in com plying with it. Bat he (Lord Howiek) would feel it his duty to object to a great part of these returns. Ile was ready to grant all the information that bore upon the present question ; but it was quite evident that these returns could not be sup , plied without great trouble and expense. Mr. HUME admitted there might be some difficulty in obtaining a return of the services abroad and at home, but there could be no difficulty, in his opinion, in obtaining a return of the length of service of full and half-pay in the aggregate. It was impossible, without all these returns, to make cut his case as to whether the Government had acted agreeably to the regulations that existed or not ' - and if they had so acted, then the question would arise whether these regulations ought not to be altered. Unless he had full informa tion, it was evident to every one he could not make out his case, or distinguish whether the representations made to him were correct or not. The Noble Lord said there were five hundred and eighty-five promotions. Was not this enough to induce the people to call for full enquiry, when they would be required to advance money to pay those offi cers ? Was it not enough to render it incumbent on the Government to allow those Returns, in order that the public might know whether those promotions were it and proper. If the services of the persons promoted were such as to entitle them to promotion, the people would not complain ; but if the return proved partiality in the selection, then it was fit and proper that that House should enquire into these cases, and if they could not correct the evils, they might at least take precautions against them in future.—( Hear, hear.) The number of persons who had been promoted ivas a reason for requiring a full return. The Noble Lord said that they were not promoted on account of their merit. It then became a serious question whether men should be promoted without any merit?—( Hear, hear, hear.) He must say that he thought it impossible to prove the existence of abuses without these documents. As to the expense of clerks, what was the expense of a few clerks compared with the expense which the country would have to pay in conse quence of these promotions ? If the Horse Guards, who were very well paid, did not keep a list of the services of all officers, they did not do their duty. (Hear. hear.) There was no other department that could not tell the services of every matt that received the pay of the country. He was prepared to dispute the legality of the pay ment to those officers, when the proper time came, and to show that the privilege of the Brevet had been exercised im properly. He hoped that the Government would not stand in the way of the information he sought. He would then move for the three first returns, to which there was no objection, and then they might clear away with the others. Sir G. SINCLAIR wished to ask why one officer (whose name did not transpire) had been omitted from the Brevet ? Lord HOWICK said he was a General Officer, and that under the Act of Parliament which regulated these matters he could not be raised to regimental rank. The three first returns were then agreed to. Mr. HUME then moved for returns showing the length of time each officer had served, whether abroad or at home, and the aggregate amount of their full and half-pay. Lord. H 0 WICK felt it his duty to object to the motion of the Hon. Member. Was it right to introduce the present mode of proceeding because the Honourable Gentleman had imagined there was something wrong with respect to some individuals. Was it right that every officer should be dragged forward. Let the Hon. Member bring forward the individual cases, and then answers might be given to them. But he did not think a fishing motion of this description was a mode of proceeding advantageous to the House.—( Cries of Ilear, hear, hear.) If the Order were made, as had been proposed, it could not be completed in the course of the present Session. If the Hon. Member would confine himself merely to the facts that had induced him to bring on the question ,he had not the slightest difficulty whatever in granting toe motion. Mr. HUME said that he had in the first instance put the individual cases he had referred to in the resolution, but the head of the Department having informed him it was unfair to single out individuals he made it general. He thought that the best and fairest plan was to have the services of all. It was a most extraordinary circumstance that the Secretary at War and the individual at the head of the Ordnance Depart ment could not tell how long any of their officers had served. Lord HO WICK observed that he had said no such thing ; he could tell how long any officer had served ; but the dif 1. culty was in dealing with all. There was a great deal of dif. ference between making out returns for two offices and 500. It was the great number that made the difficidty. The Earl of DARLINGTON did not know what was the motive of the Hon. Member for Middlesex in moving for those returns. It was but right that every Member should have all the information it was possible to give on every subject; but he could not conjecture how any information could be had by the returns.—( Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") If the Brevet was improper, and that in the distribution of promotion any thing was improperly done or regulated by favour, he thought the better course would be to bring the matter before the House by way of a distinct resolution. The returns were so voluminous that it would require months to complete them, besides the employment of more than 100 addi-_ tional clerks. He believed there was less favour in the British army than in any other service in the world.—( Loud cries of " Hear,") The Gallant Earl having referred to the cases of Major Cavendish and another officer in the same regiment as that to which he belonged, said it was an ample proof that though' persons might possess great interest, yet it would not prevail to the disadvantage of those who served in the same ranks. Ho though if the Hon. Member for Middlesex had any particular charge of favouritism on the part of Gov ernment i n t h e l a te Brevet, that lie should at once state it to th e H ouse , an d, ask its opinion by a direct motion, rather than by calling for returns of so complicated a nature. Sir J. \V R OTTE SLE I( was one of the Committee of that House whi c h had investigated the system of promotion by Bre vet. Ile had narrowly scrutinised the mode by which Colonels; were promoted to the rank of Major- Generals,and be found there were 10 or 20 times more Major-Generals than the service of that country required. There were no less than forty officers holding that rank, and of these only nine were on service. It appeared, farther, that six out of the nine major-general s were to the Howebold Brigade of cavalry and infantry, Twenty-four of these promotions had taken place in the Household Brigade, and but twelve throughout the whole of the line and dragoons. That was a system which was and ought to be complained of, and no ono would deny that it was, and defective in its principle. Sir H. HARDINGE wished to know whether there was any objection to a return, showing the reductions that had been made in the army since the peace.—( Hear, hear.) Lord HO WICK was understood to make no objection to such s return. Sir J. ELLE Y wished to know why the name of General Thornton had been introduced into this return by the Hon. Member for Middlesex? Why had the Member for Middle sex brought this individual case forward ? He would tell the House why the name of General Thornton was so prominently brought forward.—(Haar, hear.) It was because he was a loyal, faithful, and affectionate servant of his Sovereign. Mr. HUME—.Who is not? Sir J. ELLEY—Joseph Hume, I should think. Mr. HUME—If ever there was an untruth that is one. —(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Order.") The CHAIRMAN rose and made some observations which were inaudible. Mr. HUME—I beg to say that no Member of this House has a right to say that another Member is disloyal to his So vereign.—( Hear, hear.) Those were the words used by the Hon. and Gallant Member. The SPEAKER said that the Hon. and Gallant Member had made use of language which be ought not to have used, and which he was sure the Hon. and Gallant Member would recal.—( Hear, hear.) Sir JOHN ELL E Y said, that in his allusion to the Hon. Member's being disloyal, he only intended to speak of compa rative loyalty.—( Laughter, and Cries of " Oh 1") Mr. HUME rose to order. When the allusion was made, the Gallant Officer gave, as my reason for singling out Gene ral Thornton, that he was a loyal subject. I properly and regularly said—" Who is not? " and the Gallant Officer re plied—" Joseph Hume."—(Great laughter.) I think that the Hon. and Gallant Officer is bound to make an apology, not indeed to me, but to the House. Sir JOHN ELLE Y—lf he had made use of an improper expression, he regretted it.—( Hear, hear.) He had been led into it by his feelings towards an individual whom he thought on" the present occasion to be persecuted.—( Hear, hear.) He had no intention of giving offence, nor had he any reason to tax the Hon. Gentleman's loyalty. But he was led into it by the observations of the Hon. Member for Middlesex. He had only risen on that occasion to express the knowledge which he had of the services of General Thornton. He was in Flanders at the time the General received his wound—the General had been ten years in the East In dies.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He had suffered greatly from the climate, and from his wounds, and in private life a more amiable man did not exist. The returns were then agreed to. Mr. HUME then moved for a return of the number of Officers in the Army of each rank who had not been pro moted by Brevet since the Ist of Jan., 1837, although senior to those who had been promoted by Brevet, and the names of those of each rank not promoted by Brevet, who had served longer than those who had been promoted by Brevet, stating the date of the entry of each of those officers into his Majesty's service. Lord HO WICK had no objection to the Returns, leaving out the words " although senior to those promoted by Brevet." Mr. HUME said the object he had in view was to show that men of twenty or thirty years' service were passed over, %011ie others, who bad not done half the duty they had, were pro moted. He wanted to show that the system was bad, and no re medy could be applied till the resolution lie proposed was passed. If the resolution were not granted, it would drive the House into a Committee on the subject. If the Noble Lord would not give the return, he would not take up the time of the House further upon the subject ; but the eii,.ct of it, if granted, would be to sho.v that many meritorious men had been passed over. Lord H °WICK denied that the merits of any man had been overlooked. The next return would give him all the details he required—( Hear)—and therefore he could not assent to the return but in the ►manner he had stated. Mr. HUME said that the return in the shape proposed by the Noble Lord Was no return at all, and therefore he should withdraw it. The next return for a copy of all warrants respecting Brevet promotions was agreed to, as was the next relative to the offi cers of the Royal Navy, with the alteration only of from the let to the 10th of January. Mr. HUM E then moved for a return of all midshipmen and officers of the Royal Navy, distinguishing those on full and half pay. Mr. WOOD objected to the return in its present shape. If the Hon. Member cho3e to take it in the same manner as the Army return, he had no objection. Mr. HUME could not consent to receive it in that way. Mr. WOOD objected to the returns on account of the time it woul.l take to make them out. He had, when first he saw the notice on the paper, inquired of the first clerk at So merset-house what was the probable period at which they would be ready, and his answer was that it would occupy at least three years and a half of their time ; adding, that the duty could only be done by experienced clerks, not one of whom could be spared from the other departments of the public business. —( Hear, hear.) In like manner the Clerk of the Admiralty stated that it would take between three, or four years before the returns could be completed, and under such circumstances he left it to the House to say whether they would accede to that part of the motion now under consideration. Besides, the returns 'could not give any information beyond that which was already perfectly notorious, namely, that promotion at the Admiralty went by seniority. If the Hon. Member for Middlesex ob jected to that system it was competent for him to do so, but it was long in operation, and it was not for the Lords of the Admiralty to break in upon the established custom. He considered it absolutely necessary for the efficiency of the Navy, that a proportion of young officers should be promoted. —(Hear, hear.) Since 1830, the rule rigidly adhered to was one-third to the service, and two-thirds to the public, and a greater reduction would not be consistent. with the efficiency of the Navy. Capt. PE CHE L L would only call the attention of the Hon. Secretary to the Midshipman's Half-pay, familiarly called " Nothing a-day, and find himself."—( A laugh.) How long VIPS it that a man of 40, who was a grandfather, should be called a young gentleman ? Mr. WOOD had no objection to the return, if confined to Admirals—that return would be comparatively of easy accom plishment. He hoped the Hon. Member for Middlesex would be satisfied with that return, which might soon be laid on the table. Sir E. CO DRINGTON observed that it was those officers who had distinguished themselves in time of war who were now being promoted i❑ time of peace, and they were most of them at that advanced age that they were quite unfit for active service. After a few words from Capt. DUNDAS and Capt. GORDON, Mr. BANNE UMAN said that although he had the highest respect for the King's prerogative, he did not see why a Committee should not be appointed to inquire into the system of promotions in the army, and if no Hon. Member better qua lified than himself did not take up the subject, he would bring forward a motion to that effect. Mr. HUM E said if the documents were submitted for his inspection, he would send a clerk to the War Office, and have the Returns made out at his own expense.—( A laugh.) He put it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was fair to the public, with four thousand officers on the list, that they should be put to the expense of these promotions ? and more especially if any of those promotions should turn out to be unjust. After a few words in explanation from Mr. WOOD and Sir E. CODRINGTON, _ _ Mr. LANIBTON said that promotion in the nary depended too much upon aristocratical or political interest. He thought that these returns would tend to correct the evil. Mr. C. PEL H AN! could not agree to the motion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex. After some observations from Sir 11. Hardinge, Capt. Bol dero, Captain Dundas, and others, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided. Ayes l7 Noes 66 Majority against Mr. Hume's motion —49 The next return was negatived without a division. Similar returns relative to the Cormuissariat and Medical Departments were then agreed to. Mr. HUNIE would withdraw the returns relative to the Marines. On the motion for a return of the regulations by which ho• norary distinctions were conferred in the Army, Lord HOWICK would feel it his duty to oppose the mo tion. It was a subject with which the House had never inter fered.—( Hear, hear.) After a few words to the same effect from the CHANcELLot of the EXCHEQUER, The motion was negatived. Mr. HUME withdrew the last return. SPANISH TARIFF. Mr. MACLEAN gavo notice that he should avail himself of the first opportunity to move for copies of the Spanish Tariff. Mr. BERNAL then brought up the Report of the Com mittee of Supply, and the - House adjourned at a Quartet past Six o'Clock. CHURCH RATES.—Th e late cachinnatory display of a certain Right Reverend Prelate of " pamphleteering" notoriety has obtained for him at the Clubs the soubriquet of the Laughing Hyena. SIR ANDREW AGNEW.—We see by the Derby Reporter that the sweet Sir Andrew is alive, and has lost neit'ner his tongue nor his appetite. The bigot Baronet has been breakfasting in public—he of the Sunday starvation scheme, who so diligently essays to propound the sublime doc trine of salvation through the divinity of an Act of Parliament, which he himself constantly carries in his own pocket—broke his fast in public, at the town aforesaid, with just 102 brethren. The gentlemen, be it known, generously clubbed together to defray the charge of the morning's consumption of coffee, tea, &c., in return for Sir Andrew Agnew's saint-like and states man-like conduct in Parliament. One of the 102 hosts held fortk, in a peculiarly happy vein, on the progress of the Sunday starvation system ; and in the course of his edifying homily had the face to assert that the King himself was a convert to the imbecile and bigoted Baronet's ascetism. Hear this, 0 Israel 1 "He knew that the Queen had taken great pains on this subject within the last two or three years. And with re gard to his Majesty he had to observe, that after the publica- tion of the evidence taken in 1832, it was said no article was brought to the Palace on a Sunday. lie h,Ad inquired him self of a fishmonger if this were the fact ; and he was informed very little was taken on the Sabbath-day, and that was done on the sly." On the "s/y!" Very little was taken on a Sun day, and that little on the sly ! MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURT. KINGSGATE-STREET. DICKSON V. TI-lUMPLE.—Mr. Thumple was a curious look ing individual, and was summoned by his uncle for the sum of 1/. Bs., money advanced by the plaintiff to the hopeful defen dant. Poor Master Thumple had, it appeared, unfortunately written something epigrammatic upon his litigious relative ; for instance, in some moment of inspiration and ill temper, he had written the following : " My uncle, my uncle—he had a carbuncle, Rich and red, on the top of his nose ; Three warts on his thumb, and a lot more to come, And a corn upon each of his toes." Such a thing was not to be borne, and therefore the uncle had resolved to take the " for on him," and make pay. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—Pray what is the demand for? Plaintiff—'Cos he says I'm a fool, Sir.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—But surely truth cannot be so expensive ? Plaintiff—Vy in regard of that, I don't mean nothink ; but I means he howes me the money ; 'cos vy, eh ? Vy, 'cos I lent it him. Vot's plainer Tier that? COMMISSIONER—What was the money lent fur? Plaintiff— Because I had it to lend, and he wanted it. COMMISSIONER—But the Jury require a more satisfactory answer than that. Why did you lend it ? Plaintiff—Because he said he wanted it. COMMISSIONER—Now if you do not come to the point, I shall dismiss the case altogether. How came the defendant in debted to you ? Plaintiff—because he borrowed my money.— ( Considerable laughter.) COMMISSIONER—But did he, I ask you. Sir, borrow your money ? Plaintiff—Didn't he !—that's the pint. COMMISSIONER (t 0 the jury)—Gentlemen, the plaintiff in this matter appears determined not to give a straightforward answer—you will therefore deal with the matter as you may think proper. One of the jurymen—Perhaps, sir, you will be good enough to tell me in what manner the defendant is indebted to you ? Plaintiff —ln course. I hasn't no objection—( Laughter.) Juryman—Well, sir, it appears you have summoned your nephew, and the only support you have brought forward is that of your nephew having written a few couplets upon you. Do you know that he mote them ? Plaintiff—To be sure I do. He carn't mean nobody but me. Juryman—But when was the money lent that you claim ? Plaintiff—When was it? Why when he asked me for it. The jury here came to a decision that the complainant could not substantiate his case, or would not, and accordingly it was dismissed. A DIABOLICAL METHOD OF SPENDING MONEY.—John Houghmagandie summoned a strange uncouth looking " brither Scot" for Ios. The plaintiff was a genuine speci men of northern ugliness ; his countenance was of the derry down triangular cast ; there was a brace of cheek bones, which, like young " Ben Lomonds," over-hung the immense loch which formed his 'mouth; and the whole length of his body downwards, afforded no bad idea of the Duke of Bridge water's canal. On the other hand defendant was no higher than a good sized Scotch tree, all stunted and alone—a sort of barley-rig customer, evidently up to any rig. John Houghma gandie was from his extreme length a very moral man, and the animus of the present action was founded on the supposition that the defendant had spent his money in a " diaboli cal manner." Mr. Commissioner Deßors—What is this demand for? Plaintiff—lt's aye kenspeckle !—(it's well known.) COMMISSIONER—What in the name of common sense do you mean ? Plaintiff—Hoot, hoot, " it's weel known," he had the siller o' me, and then he spent it in a very diabolical manner.—( Laughter. ) COMMISSIONER—Indeed ; be good enough to explain—how did be spend this money ?—Plaintiff : Oh, in a most diabolical manner. He tookit a leddy (lady) to the play house, and he keepit her there till the siller was a' gone awa—oh, the mair's the pity, but it's diabolical— COMMISSIONE ° R—ReaIIy I don't see anything so diabolical, as you call it, in this matter—what do you say to this, de fendant ?—Defendant : I don't owe one sing - le saxpence IHe owes -me for mending his breeks and bow-hail.—( Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—ReaIIy you are a puzzling pair—what is bow-kail ?—Defendant : Nae mair than cabbage—gude cab bage, which he had of me frac my own garden. _ _ COMMISSIONER—WeII, perhaps, cabbagmg and tailoring go very well together. "Il en fait ses chows gras." But surely it's a great pity to waste your time upon such squab bles ; certainly 'tis the first time I ever heard that treating a lady to the theatre was a diabolical action. The case is dis missed. . _ Long Sawney and short Sawney here entered into an alter cation, which nothing could cut short but the interference of the officers of the Court. The Prince of Capua and his consort, formerly Mimi Smyth, are still sojourning at Malta, - where they intend to reside some time. The new governor of the Inland, Sir Henry Bouverie, invited his Royal Highness to be present at the ceremony of presenting the sth, or Northumberland Fusileers, with new colours, but indisposition prevented his Royal High ness from accepting the invitation. A feat unparalleled in the annals of chess playing, has just been accomplished by that Napoleon of the chess board, M. de Labourdonnais, who some time since beat the celebrated player, M. do Jouy, with his back turned to the board. In the match to which we now allude, he has beaten two well-known and excellent players, M. Bonfil and M. Le crivain, who played their games at the same time on two dif ferent boards, M. de Labourdonnais keeping his back turned to them during the whole of the play, and directing his moves merely from memory and calculation. The billiard-room in which the games were played, at the Chess Club, Rue de Menars, was crowded to excess, and nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the spectators when M. de Labourdonnais gave his last check-mate. The games were finished in an hour and a half. What seems most extraordinary is, that M. de Labourdonnais did not require the by-standers to preserve a strict silence, and that his attention and calCulation appeared by no means disturbed by the noise around him. Between six and seven o'clock on Thursday even ing, a valuable horse, the property of Lord Hillsborough, was killed in Parliament-street. His Lordship went to the House in his cabriolet, and having been put down the groom was re turning to his Lordship's residence. On reaching the above street, the animal, which was very spirited, took fright, and ran upon the shaft of a dust -cart, which entered the chest so deeply as to kill it instantly. The groom was thrown out of the cabriolet, but, fortunately, be escaped si ithout sustaining any injury. Not the slightest blame could be attached to the groom, who was driving at a very steady pace up to the moment the horse started off. The pavement for several yards was co vered with blood. Had the accident not occurred as it did there is no doubt but the horse would have gone on the footpath, when, probably, human life would have been lost. POPULARITY.--" I shall never be popular," said Goethe ; " all my works are intended for men of the elite, and not for the people. Woe to him who writes for the mass, in stead of for those who have the same sympathies and the same tendencies as themselves. Popular I Can any man be distressed at not being popular ? Neither Mozart nor Raphael were ever so. Ido not compare myself with these groat names, but all that is very great and very wise belong exclusively to the mi. nority. The minority represents pure reason—the majority is the symbol of the whirlwind, of passion, of unreason. History tells of certain Ministers who found themselves opposed at the same time by the King and the people, and yet they alone, by their superior wisdom, succeeded in accomplishing their great designs. The people, the mass, will never comprehend any thing but what their own passions and sentiments suggest ; but wisdom is the eternal privilege of the smaller number."— Goethe (from a volume which has just appeared in Germany, entitled " Conversations with Goethe during the last years of his life," by M. Eckerman, and in which are many sayings of his not before published). A case of considerable importance to factory chil dren has just been decided in the Justice of Peace Court. We believe it is well known that every operative cotton-spinner re quires assistants, known by the name of " piecers;" these are almost universally children, who are employed, and paid by the spinner, their wages being included in the amount placed to his credit in the books of the factory, and consequently their names do not appear in the books at all. When a spinner leaves a factory the wages of these piecers are, we believe, uni versally deducted by the master and paid over to them. The right of the children, however to their wages, in cases of ar restment, came a few days ago before the Justices. An arrest ment was laid on the wages of a spinner in the factory of Messrs. J. M'Neil and Co. The master of the works, justly considering that this arrestment could not affect the amount due to the piecers, paid the children what was due to them, and held the arrestment good against what was really due to the spinner. A dispute arose between the parties, which ended in the case being brought into Court. After hearing the ease for several days, and examining evidence as to the custom of the trade, the Justices ultimately came to the decision that the wages due to the piecers were arrestable for the debts of the spinner, on the ground that the whole amount stood in his name in the wages' book, thus laying down a principle by which unprotected children may be condemned, on a Saturday evening, when little thinking of it, to a state of starvation. Against this decision Mr. who took the most praise worthy interest in the matter has appealed to the Quarter Sessions. Should the decision be affirmed, the masters ought instantly to have all piecers enrolled as employed by them selves. Much inconvenience and distress would thus be obvi ated.—Scots Tunes. CLERICAL MORALITY.—A most respectable man, a friend of ours, has communicated to us the facts of the fol lowing case, and is perfectly willing to vouch for the truth of the statement, if called upon :—A bookseller of Dissenting► opinions and liberal politics had supplied the churchwardens of Mirfield, near Dewsbury, with parchment registers, and other necessaries for the use of the church, from 1830 to 1834, a part of these articles being ordered by the curate. At length, finding that no money was forthcoming, he applied to the said curate for information as to the best means of obtaining pay ment. The answer which the Dissenting bookseller received should he written in gold, and hung up in the chambers of the parsonocracy. " Tell Mr. ---," said this worthy successor of the Apostles, " that as his own party have refused money for a Church-rate, I cannot see how he can expect to be paid!" The Quarterly Review, not long since, recommended to the members of the State Church to deal with' no Dissenter, but the curate of Mirfield's plan is infinitely better, and we doubt not the Quarterly will adopt it as a great improvement. The Quarterly only recommended exclusive dealing ; the Mirfield curate has a better way; he is for dealing exclusively with Dis senters, and then refusing, to pay. These parsons will be the death of us. 'Who but them would have thought of making up for the loss of Church-rates, by running up accounts with Dissenters, and then asking them how they can expect to be paid ?
