TPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Lord Morpeth has c!osed the correspondence with Colonel Verner which was begun by Mr. Drummond. His Lordship's letter will be found in the communica tion of our Dublin correspondent. For the announce ment in the close of Lord Morpeth's • letter we were fully prepared. " Upon a full consideration of the case (says his Lordship) his Excellency (the Lord Lieutenant) will deem it expedient to recommend to the Lord Chancellor that you should not be included in the new commission of the peace about to be issued ; and will also direct your name to be omitted from the revised list of Deputy-Lieutenants for the county of Tyrone." There cannot, we suppose, be two opi nions as to the propriety of removing from the magoi ;:r c) a man who, like Colonel Verner, could celebrate public dinner one of those disastrous conflicts so on mon in Ireland. The memory of these feuds ought l'r to be kept alive by any one entrusted with the peace of the country. It certainly gives rather a low idea of the standard of gentlemanly feeling in the north of Ireland, when we find a magistrate and a Deputy- Lieutenant answering an official communication in a tone of which the lowest pettifogging attorney in this country would be ashamed. Colonel Verner professed himself unable to recognise the conflict alluded to under the title of " the Battle of the Diamond," by reason of the many such conflicts which have occurred in the county of Armagh. Lord Morpeth refers him to his own evidence, published in the Report of the Com mittee on Orange Lodges in Ireland, and more espe cially to the following question and answer, No. 92 : " Question—' The Battle of Diamond-hill took place the 21st of September, 1795, did it not? " Answer —' It did.' " A country cannot be afflicted with a greater curse than the having partisan Magistrates. How could Colonel Verner's fellow-subjects of the Roman Catholic creed, after so marked a manifes tation of partisanship in the worst sense of the word, have the least confidence in his administration of justice ? Colonel Verner has often figured, and not much to his advantage, in party proceedings in the north of Ireland ; and it cannot be said that he has not been leniently dealt with. Our readers can hardly have forgotten the accounts of the savage proceedings of the Killinan Boys , in whic h Colonel Verner did not figure greatly to his advantage. No wonder that the Catholic peasantry, seeing the authors of the most sanguinary outrages against them identified with the very men appointed to give effect to the laws, should have renounced even the idea of obtaining justice in any case. To that long-oppressed class of men the attempt of Lord Mulgrave to administer justice with impartiality, without regard to creed or party, is cer tainly a new era. The dismissal of Colonel Verner will be of unspeakable benefit. It will carry convic tion home to the breast of every peasant in Ireland that the Government watches carefully over him, and that no man, however high his station, may with impunity trample on his fellow-subjects. It is a great achieve ment in civilization when indiiiduals abandon to the Government the power of redressing wrongs. Hitherto the poor Catholic has been obliged to do himself justice —the wild justice of revenge—or go without any.— Morning Chronicle. It is the distinction of the higher orders of genius, that as their contributions to human improvement and happiness are seldom of a merely local or temporary character, their fame is generally regarded as the sacred and common property of mankind. Of this description, unquestionably, is the renown of our own Duke of Wellington, who is acknowledged to have conferred important benefits upon Europe in particular, and upon the world at. large. His Grace's immortal name is felt to be immeasurably above the reach of party malig nity ; and accordingly, when any proposal is made to bestow upon him a tribute of national gratitude, the tide of popular sentiment is found to flow so ir resistibly in his favour, that his political enemies, though fain to depreciate and ruin him, are con strained by the meanest possible policy to chime in with the plaudits which they know it were hopeless to oppose. But while this explanation may sufficiently account for the goaded and mortified alacrity wherewith the Whig journalists affect to support those public tes timonies to the Duke's merits, which they are conscious no hostility of theirs could prevent, it seems to be supposed by these infatuated persons, that, in propor tion as the achievements of a man of genius in o ther fields may happen to be of a kind less likely to attract popular admiration, his supposed connexion with the Conservative party is a very sufficient reason for their endeavouring to blast and destroy- him. For in stance, the moral benefits conferred upon the country by such a writer as the Rev. Dr. Chalmers are, in point of fact, not less meritorious than the proudest military services. On almost all the great questions of civil economies and moral science the genius of that distinguished person, combining the utmost opulence and originality of thought with a constant practical bearing upon the higher interests of our species, has worked out results whose incal culable value, though already realized to a considerable extent, are destined to confer their chief benefits upon a grateful and admiring posterity. No better proof can he given of the public merits of Dr. Chalmers than the shameful extent to which he has been pi rated both by the present Archbishop of Dublin and by Mr. Senior, the political economist. The good lie has clone, too, in elevating the standard of pul pit literature, and in routing various divisions of the insurgent army of sophisms recently upon the march, cannot perhaps be over-estimated, while, with reference to the services he has rendered his country as a patriot, the simple fact that the Melbourne Government have declined to advance payment of the sequestrated sa lasies due to the professors in Edinburgh College, on the assigned ground that " Dr. Chalmers would be benefitted by drawing arrears to the amount of 7001." —this of itself, we say, is an evidence of his constitu .tional principles much more forcible and significant than any other that could be adduced. The public, therefore, will not he surprised to learn, that as the labours of the Doctor have generally been of that de scription, which, being least familiar to an ignorant populace, afford corresponding facilities for vilifying their author without incurring universal execration, the Whigs, to whose church policy he is decidedly op posed, are assailing him with all those foul and viru lent aspersions, which, though not quite safe in the case of a Wellington, are conceived to be hazardable in this instance with a tolerable chance of impunity. The dirt wherewith a morning inudlark has been pelting Dr: Chalmers for these few days past may well he left to dry and drop off of its own accord ; and if we condescend to take the slightest notice of these impertinences, it is not because the Doctor's reputation needs any defence of ours, but because the opportunity of exposing the ignorance and malignity of Lis assailants is too inviting to be overlooked. To charge this celebrated divine with being a mere political partisan is a piece of gratuitous spite and spleen on the part of the Whigs, in order to indemnify themselves for the mortification which they feel at not receiving his countenance and support. In contradistinction to the church destruction prosecuted by the Melbourne Go vernment for the a g grandizement of the Papists , the cause to which r. Chalmers is devoted above all others is the cause of church-extension, for the benefit of the poor. With him this is no party question at all. On grounds which every man capable of appreciating a lofty philanthropy and soiled reasoning will admit to impregnable, the Doctor has shown, in a variety of publi cations, that the principal want of his native country is a permanent and pervading system of regular parochial instruction carried into the homes and hearts of the peo pl e by means of pastoral visitation, so independent :n point of ,provision, and so conveniently divided in point of labour, that without burdening the pockets of the population, the benefit of its influence may be extended to every family in the land. Renouncing the voluntary and infidel doctrine that every man shall be left to adopt what religion he pleases, it is the ceaseless effort of Dr. Chalmers to ply the country with that local and habitual application of Chris tian doctrine and discipline which, according t o the internretation put upon Scripture by a wise and pious ancestry, has long been established in these lands as the faith and formularies of the National Church. To the man who forwards this enterprise, be he Whig or Tury, the Doctor gives the right hand of fellowship. The accomplishment of it may truly be said to be his ruling passion. His conscientious opi nion is, that the entire ecclesiastical policy of the Whigs is unfavourable to its realization. He holds them io be irretrievably committed in an opposite di rection; and because, while discreetly abstaining from all unseemly interference in electioneering proceedings —while neither speechifying for particular candidates like Dr. Pye Smith, nor busying himself upon the hustings, like the Rev. Gilbert Elliot—he neverthe less will not declare, with Mr. Joseph Hume, that the black churchmanship of the Melbourne Ministry is un exceptionably white—therefore one Whig harpy after another besets him with the most disgraceful epithets, calumnious letters from the Parliament-house of Edin burgh are shamefully shot at him by Whig expectants and paid commissioners ; the columns of the Govern ment prints are thrown open to every abusive falsehood that can be forged against his sacred fame ; and the journals that exult in the political interferences of Dr. Pye Smith are revolted at the sore and influential re buke which Dr. Chalmers's quiescence inflicts upon their patrons and paymasters. Where, we ask, can there be a more decisive tribute to the power and po pularity of the man whom they alternately strive in vain to make their vassal and their victim ?—Times. A most gratifying proof of the anxious disposition of the Mulgrave executive, to provide for the impar tial administration of justice in Ireland, is furnished ir Lord Morpeth's admirable letter, published in this day's Advertiser, to the Tory Colonel Verner, dis missing him from the Ma g istracy and Deputy-Lieu tenancy of the County Throne, or rather, in more courteous phrase, informing him that his name will not be included in the new Commission of the Peace about to be issued, and that it will also be omitted from the revised lists of Deputy-Lieutenants. This dismissal has taken place in consequence of Colonel Verner being present—we believe, presiding —at a public dinner, when a toast—" The battle of the " Diamond"—commemorative of an affray in which several Roman Catholics fell victims to Orange fury, was drunk with enthusiastic honours. The motives of the Government are fully and forcibly explained in Lord Morpeth's letter, which will be read with plea sure by every one interested in the extension of equal protection to all classes of subjects, and desirous of seeing the Bench occupied by cool and impartial Mi nisters of the Law, and not by fanatic, infuriated, and vengeful partisans. None but those familiar with the infamous manner in which justice has been superseded by injustice, under sanction of Magisterial authority in Ireland, where the decision of the Maeistrate is often more influenced by the creed than by the cause of the litigants, can appreciate the extent of the gratitude which is due to the Irish Government, for this well timed reproof of official bigotry and truculence. The insolent and false reply of the factious and in furiated Colonel, is commented upon in the Noble Secretary's letter in a style at once severe and dignified. A thrill of grateful exultation will pervade Ireland from one extremity to the other, on reading that passage in the letter wherein, contrasting the amount of blame to be attached to parties in different positions of so ciety making violent manifestations of party zeal, Lord Morpeth observes—" The peasant thus offending is, in his Excellency's opinion, less culpable than the man of station and education, who, on an occasion to which publicity is given through the public press, celebrates a lawless action arising out of the civil dis cords. of his country, in which the lives of many of his countrymen were lost, as an event the remembrance of which it is desirable to perpetuate with honour." Altogether the letter evinces so much good sense, and so great a desire to hold the scale of justice with a steady and impartial hand, that it needs neither eulogy nor commentary to enforce sentiments so creditable to the Government, and so cheering to the people over whom it so parentally presides.—Morning Advertiser. The Government of Ireland continues to be admi nistered with that judgment and energy which have already provedproductive of so much benefit to that country. Colonel Verner, the red-hot Orangeman, has been dismissed from the Commission of the Peace in consequence of his recent toast at a public meeting, commemorative of the " Battle of the Diamond." This is as it should be. The great terror of all previous Ad ministrations, in regard to Ireland, has been that of suffering the Orange party to escape punishment when they had justly exposed themselves to it. This impu nity in the commission of crimes against their Catholic fellow-subjects, only served to encourage the Orange men to assume a bolder bearing, until they at last ac tually did everything short of defying the Executive in so many words. There are some men on whom mildness is lost : the more leniently they are treated, the more hardened and insulting they become. The Orangemen of Ireland are persons of this class. Accus tomed to rule with a rod of iron themselves, when the functions of Government were unfortunately in their hands, they are only to be held in check by having their own mouths kept constantly in the bridle, and by having the corrective lash unsparingly applied to their backs when they evince a disposition to indulge in any of their vicious propensities. The lesson which has been thus read to Colonel Verner, accompanied as that lesson has been by a most energetic letter to that gentleman from Lord Morpeth, in the name of the Lord Lieutenant—this lesson will not be lost on the Orangemen of Ireland. It will convince them that they are not any longer to outrage the feelings of their Ro man Catholic fellow subjects, and to fan the flame of civil discord in that country with impunity. It will of it self do more to strangle the monster of Orangeism than years of a conciliatory course of policy would have ef fected. " The Battle of the Diamond" will not, we ven ture to predict, be openly proposed in Ireland, as a toast, for some time to come—not, certainly, while Lord Mid grave continues to discharge the duties of Lord Lieu tenant of that country. Nor will the lesson, unless we are greatly in error, be altogether lost on the Tories of England and Scotland. There are still such per sonages, though their numbers are gradually dwindling away, as Tory Lord Lieutenants on this side of the water. They have not been backward—at least a considerable proportion of them have not been so—in converting their official power into an instrument for thwarting the policy of the Government by whom they are tolerated, arid of promoting their own party pur poses. Too much forbearance has been extended to them. An example or two in this country of that vigour and promptitude which Lord Mulgrave evinces in the administration of Irish affairs, would be attended with the most salutary results.—Morning Advertiser. Every arrival from the United States affords new evidence that the principles of honour and integrity, upon which the commercial intercourse of nations essentially depend, exert as powerful and efficacious an influence among the merchants of the American Union as in any other mercantile body with which we are acquainted. The constant remittances of bullion by every packet which reaches the shores of this country, and which already amount in the aggregate to a very considerable sum, is a proof, the validity of which no man of ordinary candour and of competent information can refuso to acknowledge, not only that there exists among American mer chants a strong desire to fulfil, in the fairest and most honourable manner, their pecuniary obligations with their correspondents in Europe, not only that they are ready, whenever the necessity arises, to make great sacrifices for this meritorious - purpose, but that, as a body, they are not inferior to their contemporary traders in any other parts of the world in reference to their possession of those solid and ample resources which are requisite to carry a come mercial community through those commercial con vulsions which are incident to every system of ex• cessive and inordinate credit, That the commercial relations which have gradually grown up between Great Britain and the United States have been cha racterised by this vicious excess to an extent which has led to consequences injurious to both—that the evils which this execs have produced have greatly out scaUled all the intermcdiate facilities which it can have afforbd to the mercantile body, or to individual merchants, in either country—and that prOCIll re gard to their own haw. interests will dictate to both communities the expediency of keeping their mutual credit for the futnre within nar:roavef, !Tipp definite, and manageable limits, are peopotianS t,q PkiPlt Xll rational observers of what has taken place gnst prepared to *hi a ready assent. But this is some thing very different from arraigning the honour and integrity of the merchants either of Great Britain or of America, or denying to the latter, with sullen in justice, the praise which they have unquestionably earned by their efforts and sacrifices to extricate THE SUN, LONDO.N, SATURD..a-, s 1 PTEMBER 16, 1837. themselves and their European correspondents with. the least possible discredit or injury to either from the situation of embarrassment and confusion in which the erroneous system of credit had placed both. Some of those who, during the recent crisis in the commercial transactions between Great Britain and Amrica, hazarded opinions unfavourable to the mer cantile body of the latter country, and .vho have not the manliness and candour to retract and atone for an injurious aspersion once committed, however clearly it may he proved to be such by the subsequent evi lence of facts, pretend now that the large importa ,ions of bullion from the United States to this coun try, have little or nothing to do with the liquidation af pre-existing obligations ; that they are not " des tined to the clearing off old accounts, but to cover fresh orders for goods for the current consumption of the interior of America." This is something worse than a gratuitous assumption. It is an assump tion directly at variance with the ordinary course of commercial dealing,. and with the facts and probabilities likewise of the actual case. In an account current the credits, whether for goods consigned or cash paid, are always regarded as in liqui dation of the debits of the oldest date, unless in the case of some express arrangement to the contrary. This is the invariable Understanding in accounts be tween individuals. And what can be mare arbitrary, or indeed more nonsensical, titan to take for granted, without any evidence whatever, a peculiar, unusual, and unnatural announcement of debits and credits in the general account between two great commercial countries, consisting, as the latter evidently must, of nothing else but the aggregate of the multifarious and diversified accounts of ►ndividuals ? There is nothing besides more improbable than the supposition that the current consumption of the interior of America in European articles, struggling, and toiling, and declin ing as the most important interests and most active classes of that country have been for some time past and still are, should exceed at the present mo ment the value which is liquidated simultaneously or even antecedently to consumption, by the impor tation into Europe of cotton and other American pro ductions. The consumption of foreign commodities in America, as in every other country not possessing mines of the precious metals, is originated, supported, and circumscribed by its ability or expectation of pay ing for those commodities by the exportation of its own peculiar commodities an:l productions, other than gold and silver, to an equivalent amount. Gold and silver are only employed to adjust the balance of trade between nations when ►t is discovered that the impor tation and consumption in any particular country of foreign commodities have already exceeded its means of paying for them in the ordinary way of barter ; or, which is practically the same thing when a country, whether by accident or miscalculation, or pro digality, or a too sanguine spirit of speculation, has taken from foreigners articles to a greater amount than foreign ers have taken, or are prepared and willing to take, of such articles as it can supply. The notion of a country like America sending forth its gold and silver to pay for articles of foreign luxury for instant consumption, lea►ing the balance of foreign trade, already notoriously against it to a considerable extent, to adjust itself as it may, involves an imputation of reckless and unprincipled prodigality which we have never yet heard ascribed to the c►tisens of the United States as a national charac teristic. It is an aspersion, however, to which the Americans will probably be indifferent, inasmuch as they must perceive, in common with all persons in every country who observe and understand the nature of commercial dealings, that the conduct which they are charged with pursuing is not merely faithless, pro digal, and anti-commercial ; but that it is contradictory, absurd, and, in the strictest sense of the word, imprac ticable.—Morning Post. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN. Thursday thore was a vestry meeting of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, convened for the purpose of con. sidering the propriety of giving instructions to the vestry clerk to adopt the necessary proceedings for bringing the question as to the right of the Poor-law Commissioners to order the election of a collector of poor-rate, in a proper shape, before the Court of Queen's Bench, and to determine on the most advisable course to be adopted in reference thereto. Mr. WALKER rose to raove the first resolution, which was to the effect of giving instructions to the vestry-clerk for bringing the matter before the Court of Queen's Bench, in accordance with the notice by which they had been con vened. He said he did not think it necessary to trespass at any length upon the time of the meeting by giving his reasons for bringing forward this motion, as they were so generally known to the parishioners. He would merely state, for the satisfaction of those who might not be aware of the circumstances, that the Poor-law Commissioners had appointed a collector, as the parish thought, illegally. This collector had cent. per cent. more than the collector ap pointed by the parish. Mr. DAWSON seconded this resolution. Mr. D'EMDaN moved that the coestio.: shou!d be ad journed to this day six months. This motion was seconded. Considerable discussion ensued, after which the amend ment and the original motion were put, when there appeared nine for the former, and for the latter about twenty-five, which of course was declared carried. Thanks being voted to the Chairman for his very proper conductiu the chair, the meeting dispersed. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

The average price of Mascovado Sugar, from the returns made in the week ending the 12th of Sept., 1837, is 339. 6id. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Imperta fen thereof into Great Britain. Such has been the abundant supply of fruit at Covent-garden and the other metropolitan markets during the last ten days that it exceeds the demand in a degree which has not been experienced for many years past. Th e salesmen are of opinion that the crops of apples growing within the circuit of thirty miles round London will be sufficient for the town consumption until near Christmas, They have intimated to the growers who reside beyond that distance that they cannot expect any adequate return, as the prices realised at present barely pay the carriage and commission on the sale. On Saturday afternoon inst. a wealthy and highly respectable farmer, named Barnard, residing at 'field, near Nortbileet i Kent, Went to a well, R short distance from his house, acieompanled by his daughter, to draw a bucket of Water after drawing it up the daughter stooped to loosen the chain, and was alarmed at hearing the unfortunate tnllq cry out," Oh l" anl on 1991,0117 iay ! lAM the act of into the W 01; she andeaveured to catch hold of him without success, An alarm girea, a man named Copsey was soon on the spot, who at the imminent risk of his life went down three times and brought up . the ill-fated gentleman, who was quite dead and dreadfully disfigured. Thursday morning an inquest was held PP the 11.041 and the jury, after speaking in the highest praise of Copsey's heroic conduct (the well being 191 feet deep and 26 feet of water), returned a verdict of " occidental death,'' LONDON SESSIONS. These sessions commenced yesterday morning. The bu siness was for a length of time delayed, o lying to the indis position of the Aldermen in rotation, Atkins and Lucas ; and, after waiting as considerable time, Aldermen JoHNsoN and WiLsote: arrived. TITHES.—John Warnrqn, a m:peet able vonng man, a cabinet-maker, residing in St. Tuomay, Apostle, was in dicted for an assault upon Henry Jolopli Rogers, an auc tioneer and appraiser, residing in Fleet-lane, under the following circumstances. Mr. JERNYNGRAM was for the prosecution ; Mr. C. PHILLIPS conducted the defence. The prosecutor stated that on the 18th of May last be went, in company with a collector and constable, to the house of the defendant, where they put in a distress for 18s. tithes. The defendant not being at home, a man was left in posses sion. About two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day he (the prosecutor) went again to the house of the de fendant, and demanded the sum of IS% for tithes, and 11 s. 2d. costs, making in all 11. 9s. 2d. The defendant asked the prosecutor would he abate any of the expenses, which he refused to do. The defendant then called him a thief, and offered many other opprobrious epithets to him, and said he would pay him, and desired him to draw a re ceipt, which he did, but on counting the money he found only 11. 95., being 2d. short. He refused to take it in consequence of the abuse he te( eivcd. The defendant snatched the receipt, when a scuffle took place. The de fendant dragged him out of the room to the stair;, ani en deavoured to throw him over the banisters ; in doing so his arm was hurt severely. While they were scuffling he felt some liquid-fall on his back. On his leaving the house he ascertained that his coat was burned with oil of vitriol. (The coat was here produced, and a large portion of the back appeared to be burned out of it.) On his cross-examination he admitted that he was paid the 2d. before the affray commenced, and th 4 wife of the defendant was in a very delicate state of health and has since died. When he felt the liquid on his back he could not see any bottle in the defendant's hand. They were then scuffling. Two young lads of the name of Baylis, who were then in the employ of the defendant, stated that on the day in question the defendant removed an oil bottle from the work shop, which he replaced by a bottle containing vitriol, or burning fluid. On their cross-examination they admitted they were in Newgate, charged by the defendant with stealing his wine. For the defence, the mother-in-law of the defendant stated that, instead of the defendant striking the prosecutor, the assault was by him. The RECORDER, in summing up the case to the Jury, observed that, if the vitriol was thrown on the prosecutor by the defendant, or at his instigation, it was an assault of a very aggravated nature. Before the law was repealed the offence was visited with the severe punishment of transpor tation ; but, under any circumstances, it was an assault of a very aggravated- character. To throw burning liquid on the dress might produce serious injury to the person. Therefore if they believed that the defendant did so by his own hand, or caused it to be done to the prosecutor by that of another, they would' find him Guilty ; at the same time they were bound to give him the benefit of any doubt they might entertain. Guilty—Six weeks' imprisonment in the Compter. Mr. BODKIN said that he had an application to make in the case of a person of the name of Edwin Bates, who was on the 7th of August last committed by the Lord Mayor to the Compter for the want of bail, on the charge of threatening the life of Mr. Bearcroft. From the change which had recently taken place in the proceedings of that Court, the prisoner would be set at liberty after the Grand Jury were discharged. The parties who had caused his former apprehension, and one of them was Chairman of a public Company and a Niel-1113er of Parliament, were advised to indict him at the Central Criminal Court for writing threatening letters demanding money. The RECORDER—Demanding money with menaces ? Mr. BODKIN replied, under threats of assassination ; and when it was considered that at the time of his appre hension a loaded pistol was found in his possession, and it was ascertained that previously one had burst while he was in the act of practising firing at a mark, it was absolutely necessary that such a person should not be at large. The Lord Mayor had a doubt in his mind whether he should entertain the present charge, but if the Court would give an opinion to his Lordship to remove the doubt his Lord ship would do so. The RECORDER—We cannot detain him. exhibit articles of the peape against him ? Mr. BODKIN said there was some doubt as to the sanity of his mind, and to exhibit articles of the peace was not Why not the proper mode to investigate that fact ; but if he was sent for trial to the Old Bailey the charge would be fully sup ported by his letters, and the fact of his sanity would be ascertained. In consequence of the doubt on the Lord Mayor's mind the opportunity of sending him for trial was not afforded, but if the Court would express an opinion, his Lordship would entertain the case under a new form. The RECORDER said there was an error of judgment in his Lordship refusing to entertain the charge after it had been sent to the Sessions, but if it was brought before his Lordship in another shape, he would deal with it ac cordingly. Mr. BODKIN expressed himself satisfied. Bates was then brought up and discharged by proclama tion. On his leaving the Court he was taken into custody by Forrester, and will be brought before the Lord Mayor this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W.STREET. John Callaghan, the late collector of parish rates for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, was brought up for final examination on a charge of embezzlement, and was fully committed for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Mr. Brunton of the • Queen's Head public house, in St. John's -street, attended before Messrs. LAING and BENNET to answer to an information which had been lodged against him by Mr. Robinson, an inspector of police of the G division, charging him with suffering drunkenness and other disorderly conduct in his house on the night of the sth inst. Mr. Wiux, the solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Pro tection Society, was present on behalf of Mr. Brunton, who pleaded Not Guilty. Maisey, superintendent of the G division, stated that, at a quarter to two o'clock, on the night of the sth of the pre sent month, he and two other officers entered the defend. ant's premises, where they found from 90 to 100 persons, most of whom were drunk. Penny, an inspector under the last witness, gave sim:lar evidence. Mr. Brunton, upon being called upon for his defence, said that he had been the occupier of the present house more than nine years, and that was the first time that a charge of any description was made against him, and he felt extremely vexed that a night during lifartholemew Fair should be axed upon to trump up an accusation against hint. It was true that on the night named he kept open a little later than usual ; but he solemnly protested that there were no disor derly characters on his premises. When the officers made their appearance he was preparing to close his house, and ho considered that it would have been better, and much more their duty, to have helped him to get rid of his customers. Mr. Brunton then called Mr. Balls, of No. 3, Birchin-lane, city, who said that he was in the house when Maisey and his men entered, and he would positively swear that there was not one person there who was drunk. Mr. Sellers, landlord of the Sun and Falcon, Down-street, Piccadilly, stated that he was assisting Mr. Brunton in his business during the fair, and he remembered the policemen coming there, at which time the great noise prevailed, but there was not a drunkard present. Four (Aber witnesses gave similar testimony, after which Mr. LAING intimated that he was ready to convict the defendant, being of opinion that the case had been fully made out, and that the police alone had spoken the truth. Mr. BENNETT—If what they have said against the de fendant be correct a, °conviction ought to follow, but when a host of witnesses prove to the contrary, I should conceive that we cannot do otherwise than dismiss the information if we pay attention to the solemn oath of a party. Mr. LAING-4 don't believe the defendant's witnesses, who are, to a certain extent, interested. Mr. BENNETT—I am bound to kiieve them, and there fore cannot think of convicting. Mr. LAING (angrily)—Wolf, as we differ in opinion there can be no judgment, The information consequently fell to the ground. Mr. Wright, of the Coach and Horses, St. John's-square, and ether publicans, were summoned fur a similar offence, and a like " difference" of opinion existing between the Ma gistrates the informations shared the same fate. NEW MILK FROM TU Cow.—Yesterday William Ni cholls, a lad aged eighteen, with a milk-white countenance, was brought before Mr. LAING, in the custody of a police constable of the N division, charged by Mr. Dixon, cow keeper, of Highbury Vale, Islington, under the following ludicrous circumstances : The prosecutor, havittg been sworn, s t a t e d t h at yester day afternqun L Lb received informatio n that a, tail was in his Aoki, milking one of his cows ; and, determining on catch ing him, he directed his (1,11 to eater at one end of the fold whilst he entered at the other, and on doing so ttiey beheld plisoner laying flat on hi s back, undev , a cow's belly, with his mouth wide open, and he was squeezing the milk from the'teats of the anitnal into, his mouth, and apparently enjoying the VapaAt. The appearance of witness and his sorb did not seem at all to discammede the prisoner, wno continued to pull away with all the eagerness imaginable ; arid the quiet and harmless way in which the cow stood to endure the operation, led witness to suspect that the pri tecl soncr was an adept in the art of milking , an d had vlst. .s his field mor e than once, as he frequently found that 1. 1 . cows did not yi e ld th e usua l q uantity of milk. The pri.sionll ner's face and upp er p ar t o f hi s dress were cove red froth and milk, of which he had tvidentiv taken a belly full Mr. LAING asked how long the fellow was ,supposed to have been in the field? Mr. Dixon —At least three qua" tors of an hour, Mr. LAING—And how t nu:4 l milk do you prcstlill' llll could tease taken fi om the cow in that space of time „ Dixon—Two quarts at least.—( A laugh.) Mr. Dixon, jun., corroborated this evidence. Mr. LAING said it was rather an - extraordinary WAY of satisfying his appetite, and inq6ired who and what he Wag! Prisoner-4 work for Mr. C o ombes, ironmonger. of 1313e1 ' . friars-road. Mr. LAING—Pray what have you to say for- going into the prosecutor's field, and milking his cows? Prisoner' I am very fond of milk, and being very thirsty, and veil the cow in the field, I could not resist the temptation , 4n ` I certainly did take a draught, which I thought no harm. --(Laughter.) Mr. LAING (to the prosecutor)—lt is a pity that ye ll did not give him a good thrashing, acd send him about business. Mr. Dixon—That I should have done, but I aid not wish to take the law in my own hands. Mr. LAING said the prisoner ought to pay for the milk lie had consumed, and asked how much the milk was a quar t Mr. Dixon—Fourpence, your worship. The constable said that on searchitul the prisoner be found just Bd., the price of two quarts. • Mr. Dixon, with the• milk of Liman kindness, said he did not wish to punish - the prisoner severely, but he de sired to be protected from such intruders in future. Mr. LAING ardered the, Bd. to be handed to Mr. Dixon, and severely reprintand.ed th e p r i soner , whorl; he •dischargo? and he quitted the office rather "cowed."
