SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOCR-i•IALS. Two fresh repctts to the Houle Secretary from Iloacds of Guardians for Poor-law Unions 's ill be found in another column—from and Depwade Uniop, both in Norfolk. It will be seen that these, like all the other documents of the same description, bear testimony to the good effects of ,the new Poor-I.lw in the unproved habits of the working classes. In no part of the kingdom had a few scars wrought such extensive changes in the character of the peasantry as in Norfolk and Suffolk. From being the best and most orderly labourers of England, in many places they had become exceedingly depraved. Not a few of our readers will remember the account of the Norfolk peasantry given a year or two ago b; Mr. Weviaml, Chairman of the Quarter Sessions : most parishes abounding with able-bodied paupers, who carried their allowances to the beer-shops, whence they sallied to commit depredations and outrages. The re port of the Docking Unieen states, that, as regards the poor themselves, no better proof can he furnished of their moral improvement than that the keepers of beer-shops complain of loss of trade on the one hand, and tradesmen find themselves better paid on the other." Thii ty-nine per cent. of the expenditure has been ahead , : reduced, and further reductions are anti cipated. In Depwade Union the improvement of the habits of the working classes is also partienlaily dwelt on.—Morning chronicle. • Vague and jesuitical as were many parts of the Tamworth Barmaet's speech at the Glasgow banquet, there were others in which he was sufficiently explicit. His anti-peerage-reform principles were stated with a clearness which leaves no room for doubt as to their nature. 'Not leSs decided were the terms he employed in denouncing the voluntary church principle. The praise, however, which we bestow on his language, we are constrained to withhold from his logic. Sophistical as the Right lion. Baronet can at any time be when it suits his purpose, he was on this occasion pre-cmi nently prodigal of his fallacies. Sir Robert assumes that unless religion be forced on a people through means of an establishment, there will be no religion at all among them. On what does he ground his position—on philosophy or history, or on both ? Both will equally fail him. The man must have paid but little attention to the philosophy of the human mind, who has not arrived at the conclusion, that religion cannot be forced on a people at all. It is true that by a compulsory process men may be induced to profess religion ; but there is all the difference in the world between professing religion and being really religious. Force never yet operated conviction on the mind—it never will—all it can do is to make men hypocrites. But where was the Right Hon. Gentleman's historical knowledge when he asserted that Christianity could not exisiwithout the aid of an establishment It must either have been asleep or on a journey. What came of Christianity before it was made an established religion ? How did it contrive to exist, and not only to exist, but rapidly to extend itself during the first three centuries ? And how happens it to exist and to flourish in so extraordinary a manner, at the present moment in America ? Would Sir Robert wish to have one or two more facts to prove that the Christian religion can both support and extend itself without the aid of the State ? What will he say to a reference to the South Sea Islands ? Have not heathenism and idolatry, in all their most revolting forms, been overthrown, and Christianity erected on their ruin, within the last quarter of a cen tury, in those islands, by the unaided efforts of a few pious and zealous missionaries ? Let Sir Robert answer this argument if he can. But it is not in the South Sea Islands alone that we have of late witnessed the triumphs of the Christian religion detached from tl t Sate. We have seen those triumphs in every quarter and almost in every clime of the world: But why wander to distant countries for arguments where with to demolish the false positions and specious so phistries of the Lord Rector of Glasgow ? We have arguments without number, and of the most unan-` swerahle had, in our own country. Whether, let us ask, has the Church in either country, or the Dissenters, done most, fur the spread of religion in the United Kingdom ? The Dissenters, beyond all question, and beyond all comparison. Was it not the non-conformists that gave the great impulse to religion in the seventeenth century ? Was it not Wesley and Whitfield that spread Christianity in its true spirit and power, through the length and breadth of the land, nearly one hundred years since ? Were not the ministers of the Establishment morally asleep at that time ? Was it not notorious that nothing more than the mere form of religion then existed in this country ? And who, let us ask, are doing the most for the extension of religion at this moment ? Can it be denied that it is the Dissenters ? Are not all our Bible and Missionary Societies the fruits of Dissenting piety and zeal ? Wherever such institutions exist in the Church, they only have their origin in a spirit of rivalry. towards Dissenters. Sir Robert Peel says that bad men will never seek religion for themselves, and hence it must be forced on them through the medium of an establishment. The pre mises are true : the conclusion is altogether unjust. It is of the very essence of Christianity to diffuse abroad its blessings. Pious men will always feel for those who do not feel for themselves ; and they will leave no effort untried to communicate the religion which has blessed themselves to all around them. Are not all the institutions to which we have referred so many un answerable proofs of this ? And do we not daily and hourly see Dissenters not only supporting their own ministers, but raisin' large funds to send the Gospel to others ?—Morning Advertiser. It is not with feelings of regret that we hear of the French Ministry having been beaten on the amend ment to the Address relative to Poland. We may remind our readers that the amendment was moved by Odillon Barrot, and was in the following terms : " The repose of Europe will never he more forcibly guaranteed than when it shall be founded on respect for rights consecrated by treaties ; and among those rights France will ever place in the first rank those of the ancient Polish nationality.' _ Though we - have the opposite feeling to regret at finding such an amendment carried in the French Chamber of Deputies—a Chamber possessing no very extraordinary amount of public spirit or virtue—we confess it is not with any feeling of national pride we contrast the conduct of the representative assembly of France on this point with that of our own House of Commons. The French Government did not more com pletely betray Poland—did not more servilely truckle to Russia—did not more disgracefully creep out of the obligations of the Treaty of Vienna, which guaranteed the nationality of Poland, than our own ; yet the virtuous Liberals—the pretended friends of Poland in that assembly—the men who, when the Polish struggle was over, and the money of the Russo-Dutch loan job voted into the coffers of Nicholas, went to public meetings and loudly denounced the tyrannical acts of the Autocrat, while they boasted of their sympathy with the persecuted Poles—those virtuous Liberals, we say, never dared to put upon the Jour nals of the House a recorded disapprobation of the policy of the Whig Government in relation to Po land, as strong as that moved and carried by Odillon Barrot in the French Chamber, or any vote of disap probation whatever. One or two motions were made, indeed, which had no result, becalm:, with the mass of the Reformers servility to the Whigs overshadowed all sympathy for Po!and. We confess we feel shame at seeing what has taken place upon this sub in the French Chamber, when we contrast it with the conduct of our own House of Commons. Great is the rebuke of Ozlillon Barrot's amendment to the Go7crnmen:, whose Foreign Minister, up on hearing of the capture of the Polish capital, % exclaimed " Order reigns at Warsaw." As to the other affair of the Swiss question and the spy Conseil, which has occupied the French Chamber, it shows the immorality of the French Government in the strongest possible light, for, after the confession of M. Gasparin no man can doubt that Conseil was the hired emissary of that Government, employed to foment plots in Switzerland, with the view of furnishing the French linistry with a pretext for demanding the banishment of the Polish and other political refugees, to propi tiate the favour of the Northern Powers. Such po licy is most indefensibly—it is in the worst style of ti-e Machiavellian school. It deeply savours of the " mystery of iniquity," and can never come to good. It gives us sincere regret to observe a most re spectable Evening Conservative Journal attempt to palliate this policy on the part of the French Go vernment, though, by means of the simulated se dition of their own spy, that Government was fur nished with the pretext for demanding the expul sion of the refugees whom he had inveigled into his pseudo-plots against other States. The demand of the French Government was as insolently made as the pretext for it had been corruptly obtained. NI-Vito does not recollect the threatening letter of M. Thiers, in every way worthy of the Autocrat of Russia ! Who does not also recollect the shuffling attempt at denvit , the authenticity of that letter, when it called forth a burst of indignant feeling in France ? What matters it to the morality of the question, whether Conseil, like many other spies, became a double traitor ? The admission of M. Gasparin has placed it beyond all doubt, that he was known to be a traitor when sent to Switzerland, and that he was sent there on thai very account. If Switzerland is to be op pressed with impunity, and every dishonest advantage taken of her, because she is a small nation, the same principle will apply to Hol:and. We have advocated the cause of Holland, as we now do that of Switzerland, against thetyrannical aggression of more pcwer ful nations. Indeed, t'ne comparative smallness of those nations, when taken in connection with what they have achieved in working out their own independence, the one against Spain, then a mighty Power, and France—the other against Burgundy and Austria, 'entitles them to a larger share of the admiration of a people who, like the English, admire manly courage, and the generous intrepidity which contests a good cause against any odds. We reprobated the infamous Anglo-Gallic con vention against Holland, and the " amicable slaughter" of the Dutch King's subjects at Antwerp, in no miti gated terms, when the Whig Government was much more popular and powerful than it • will ever be again. Not less indignation and disgust do we feel at the in troduction of the demoralising system of Gallic espi onnaze into Switzerland, for the purpose of crushing, by such corrupt and criminal instrumentality, its na tional independence. No political event that has oc curred for a long time gave us more satisfaction than the fall of M. Thiers, so soon after the publication of his insolent letter to the Swiss Directory. Let him settle the precise amount of responsibility with his late Royal master as he can. The treatment which Switzerland has received, by means of the spy-system, reflects no credit upon either.--. Morning Herald. APPREHENSION OF THE DENVER MURDERERS. The peaceable town of Doncaster has been greatly agi tated during the last few days, owing to the apprehension of the strongly-suspected murderers of Hannah Manfield, the Denver fortune-teller. The facts of this horrible affair are already before the public, and we now give an outline of the apprehension of the men who are considered to be the perpetrators. It will be recollected that three navigators were seen near the unfortunate woman's house, on the even ing preceding the murder, and the following morning, so early as three o'clock, were also met close to the spot. These men, however, at that time eluded detection, and having traversed the country, taking th e di rec tio n o f Stam ford, reached Doncaster on Thursday evening last, and took up their quarters at a notorious house, called the Bird-in-Hand, St. Sepulchre Gate, in that town. The Sessions for the West Riding were going on at the time, and they had the effrontery to attend the Court, in the Town-hall, nearly the whole of Friday. The fol lowing morning the Express coach arrived, and with it Mr. T. V. Wright, one of the principal officers of the town of Lynn, who lost no time in procuring the assistance of Mr. Tymms, chief officer, and Wheater, of the day police, who, conjointly, traced the navigators, and found them as above described at the Bird-in-Hand. Five pounds of beef steaks were cooking for them, at eleven o'clock in the morn ing, and one of them was playing a match at " puff and dart." The three officers alluded to, with firmness and promptitude, grappled and handcuffed their powerful pri soners in a few seconds, who were led, trembling, to the gaol. On searching their persons, a bar of silver was found upon one, evidently melted from spoons, and on the others three soverei g ns and some silver. They were strongly ironed, hand s and feet, and conveyed on Sunday, at one o'clock, by the Express coach, from the Rein Deer, to Newark, and from thence to Lynn. They gave their name, John Smith, 25; John Vernam, 25, and George Timms, 22. On mounting the coach, Vernam pulled off his hat and huzzaed, which struck terror into the minds of hundreds of spectators who witnessed their departure. The greatest credit is due to Mr. Wright for his exer tions during the past fortnight, who has traced sufficiently, not only the persons of the prisoners, but their undoubted guilt. They were all dressed in new blue smocks and new velveteen jackets, with large pearl buttons ; and he has dis covered that their old ones were burnt on the road.

The Judges of the different Courts will meet in the Exchequer Chamber, on Thursday morning, to choose their respective circuits on the ensuing Spring Assizes. - On Saturday evening an Inquest was held at the Coopers' Arms, - Russell-street, Bermondsey, on the body of a female child, name unknown, which was found on Mon day last within the burial-ground attached to the new church of St. James's, Bermondsey. Mr. William 'Groom bridge, jun., deposed that he resides with his father in the engine -house, situate in part of the above burial-ground. On returning home about half-past eleven o'clock on Mon day morning, he observed a bag just within the railings of the burial-ground ; lie informed his father, and afterwards brought it to him ; it was a brown holland bag, and tied at one end with white tape ; it was heavy, but he knew not what it contained. Mr. Groontbridge, sen., said he received the bag from his son, and opened it, when he saw the head of a child ; he tied it up, and immediately took it to the workhouse, where it was examined by himself and the master ; it was a full-grown female child, very finely formed ; lie saw no marks of violence on the body. Mr. James Paul, the parochial surgeon, said he saw the child on Tuesday, s.nd examined it externally, but found no marks of violence externally. He had no doubt it was newly born, but with out a port-morienz examination he could not say that it had ever lived. A discussion took place as to the propriety of having a post-mortem examination. After a time the Jury-room was cleared. The Jury, after considering fox: about a quarter of an hour, decided that a post-mortein examination was not necessary, and. returned a special ver dict, " That the deceased was found dead in the burial ground of tlie New Church, Bermondsey, with no marks of violence on her person ; but whether she was born alive or not there was no evidence to prove." THE GI It A FFE3.-The giraffe, which has recently died in the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, is the one which has alwa3 s been lame and sickly, and used to be kept apart from the others. It made no increase in size. The immediate cause of its death was a fracture of the skul', caused by a fall. The remaining three giraffes have conti nued during the winter in excellent health and spirits. The two giraffes at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, which have lately died, have been opened at a full meeting of the me dical profession, who declared the cause of death to have been a sudden chill in both cases. Considerable pains had bef,ll taken to keep their apartment warm with a stove, but it is supposed the fire was suffered to go out, or to be so low as to be insufficient during the sharp nights—a very likely occurrence. The preservation of these tender ani mals in the Regent's Park through this severe winter may be attributed to the peculiar principle on which the house there is warmed. This is effected by an under-ground flue, which continues to give warmth to the apartment for twelve hours after the fire is out. WHITEHALL, JAN. 13.

As a gentleman named Newman, residing at No. 9, Pall-mall, was riding in the direction of Kensington, his horse shyed, and threw him with great violence on his head. The un fortunate gentleman when picked up was bleeding profusely from his head. He was immediately assisted to St. George's Hospital by police constable Jones, 55 T., when, on exami nation, it was found his head was dreadfully fractured. He remains at the hospital in a very precarious state. ACCIDENTS IN THE FOG.—Yesterday, during the dense fog with which the metropolis was visited, a young lady, between eighteen and nineteen years of age, the daughter of Mr. Jefferies, of Goldsmith -street, Wood -street, Cheapside, was ran against by a cart, in crossing the end of King William-street, London Bridge, and knocked down, the end of one of the shafts striking Miss Jefferies with tre mendous violence on the shoulder. On being raised up, the young lady appeared to be much frightened and hurt. She was conveyed home in a hackney-coach. A respectable married woman, named Marshall, residing in Mint -street, Borough, was knocked down by a hackney-coach in the Commercial-road, Lambeth, and one of the wheels passed over her right leg, severely fracturing the bone between the knee and ankle joints. She was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital. A woman named Flaxman, in crossing Hyde Park, carrying her husband's dinner, walked into the Ser pentine River, and narrowly escaped being drowned. DREADFUL MURDER IN NORFOLK.—On Thursday - information was given at the different metropolitan police offices of the murder of Hannah Manfield, a widow, residing at a place called Danver near Norwich, who was found on Tuesday morning, the 3d inst., with her throat cut nearly from ear to ear, lying in the parlour of her own house. There is no doubt the murder was effected for the purpose of obtaining possession of her property, as she had the repu tation of being in comfortable circumstances. The articles of plate taken from the house by the murderers, are as fol low :—One silver pint-mug, one silver cup, one silver ladle, small and very much worked ; two dozen and a half of tea spoons, eight table-spoons, eight dessert-spoons, three pair of sugar -tongs, two old-fashioned cream-jugs, one very much worked, three silver salt-cellars, and two salt. spoons. The silver was all old-fashioned, and some of it marked with the letters I. M., and some of it H. I. ; also two silk pocket handkerchiefs. Three men, who are suspected left the public-house of a neighbouring village on the evening preceding its committal, and were met a mile from Danver, at three o'clock on the morning it was effected. Tho following is a description of the men :—" Big Jack," is five feet eleven inches high, twenty-two years of age, dark hair, swarthy complexion, long visage, stout made,wearing a velveteen coat, with short flap underneath, corded breeches, dark blue stockings, and high shoes, elated at the heels and toes, weighs 15 or 16 stone. 'rhe other suspected man's name is " George," stout made, and sandy hair ; he had with him some lucifer matches and a box. The third man is about twenty-three years of age, and also stout made, and dressed as a labourer. A reward of 100/. has been offered for the apprehension of the murderers. Fox, whose pecuniary affairs were seldom in a very flourishing state, on one occasion, being c o mp e ll e d, b y ill ness, to lead a very abstemious life, told his friend Dudley Long that he " lived by clock-work." " Yes," replied the latter ; " I suppose you mean that you go tick, tick, tick." The reign of Hugh Capet, the first of the present dynasty in France, commenced in 987 ; a period long an terior to the Norman conquest. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c. &c.
