BPI,RIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " They decided according to their respective poli tical feelings, but it i s mere folly to call this forswear ing themselves," says. Fraser's Magazine in an article on the Grenville Act, speaking of the determinations of the Tory Committees on election petitions in the opening of the late Parliament : " it is mere folly to call this forswearing themselves." The Members only took a solemn oath to decide fairly and honestly be tween the parties—to- give " a true judgment accord ing to the evidence, so help you God ;" and though they " decided in every case but one in favour of their own party," and from " political feelings," yet it is " mere folly to . tall this forswearinc , themselves !" Ex confesso they broke their solemn oath from a cor rupt motive, and nevertheless did not forswear them selves ! Now, although this is very weak, if not very wicked, or both weak and wicked, we really believe not only that the writer of the article in Fraser's Magazine, but that many members of Election Committees, prevail upon themselves to think (requiring no great degree of persuasion) that the oaths they take at the table of the House of Commons are something like the Custom house oaths which used formerly to be administered, taken, and broken, by hundreds or thousands in a day. They believe that these obligations may be totally dis regarded with impunity whenever " political feelings" call for it, and that they are committing no moral offence in deciding directly contrary to the evidence by which they have sworn to be governed. " Perjury" is an ugly word. and therefore Fraser substitutes "for swearing '." but the offence is nothing short of " per jury, wilful and corrupt. Whether a man violate his oath for a sum of money, or for any other equivalent, the effect is the same ; the perjury is wilful and cor rupt. What answer is it to assert that both Whigs and Tories are equally guilty of this high crime ? Yet this is the utmost that Fraser can say for it. The more extensive and general the practice, the more it proves the immediate necessity of altering the law as it at present stands. Nobody has yet ventured to contend for . the purity and excellence of the tribunal called an Election Committee ; the Tories all admit that it is on many accounts objec tionable, and all that can be advanced in favour of it by their organs is that " it works impartially ;" and that, whether the Committee be formed with a Whig or a Tory majority, the result is always according to the majority, and in avowed violation of what was meant. by the Legislature, when it passed the Grenville Act, to be a solemn and a binding obligation. The perjury (we will not mince the matter) then is admit ted ; but it is contended that it is not perjury—not even " forswearing"—only the breach of an oath, be cause " political feelings" required it. This vin dication, such as it is, applies to the members of •the Committee : they may do as they like, being, in fact, less bound than if they had pledged their honour to decide " according to the evidence ;" but what is to become of the witnesses ? Why are they not to enjoy the same impunity ? They give their testimony upon oath, as provided by the Grenville Act ; and if the "Committee may disregard their oaths, why are the witnesses to regard theirs ? " Political feel ings" have often induced the persons who were called to prove a case to violate their oaths, and they have been formerly punished for it with transportation, pil lory, fine, and imprisonment. Why are they not to enjoy the same exemption as the members before whom they give evidence ? If so—and there can be no sufficient reason for drawing a distinction—to what confusion and crime would not the Grenville Act lead? At present the members of a Committee are avowedly guilty of perjury, which they commit, it seems, without being aensible of any offence, and without remorse they send a witness to Newgate for prevarication. The members of the Committee are to all intents and purposes judges; and what should we say to a Judge of the land were he, in excuse for the violation of his oath, to allege that on a trial for a libel his " political feelings" had induced him to misdirect the jury ? In fact, everything that has been said, or can be said, on either side of the question, evinces the necessity of an amendment of the present system, and increases our regret that that amendment was not made when the Reform Bill was under discussion. We do not think it necessary to go again over the ground we before travelled, in order to show the impossibility of appointing an impartial Committee, nor shall we repeat the reasons we gave for believing that in the nomination of Committees the Li beral side of the House must be under an indisputable disadvantage. That disadvantage will be the greater if the Tory side of the House, as suggested by the article in Fraser, do not scruple to acknowledge that when nominated and sworn on a Committee they do not con sider themselves at all bound by the oath they have taken. " These are the times that try men's souls," says Fraser, but surely this is a misprint of " souls" for seats ; at all events, it is an odd mode of trying " men's souls" to instruct them that they may break oaths taken before God and man with perfect impu nity ; but it is a very intelligible mode of trying men's seats, and that must probably have been the writer's meaning. He just afterwards adverts to the number of seats for Irish counties and boroughs that arc to be assailed. The Times, a day or two ago, stated it at twenty-four, and the Tories might as well make it forty-four as twenty-four, while they are about_ the calculation ; and, if we do not mi:ctake, our Contem porary and some of his fellow-fabricators originally gave out that many more than twenty-four Members of the people's choice were to be turned out for the very reason that they had been chosen by the people. However, as the period approaches, the Tories grow more modetatc, and Fraser ultimately states the number very low i n d ee d. H e fi rst gives it as twenty, then for some reason or other, he• drops down to fifteen, and finally, from fifteen to " six or eight." These " six or eight " petitions he makes sure of establishing ; and well he may, if the mem bers of the Committees, setting at nought all the evi dence by which they have sworn to be governed, may decide merely according to their " political feelings." If such is to be the issue, we shall think the Tories extraordinarily forbearing if they only adhere to twenty four cases, especially when backed by the " sacred fund." It is worth while to remark that the Times of yesterday warns all Peers and Members of Parlia ment to have nothing to do with the fund, well know ing, as we stated on a former day, that Peers cannot . - constitutionally interfere with elections or returns, and that the mere fact of subscription ought to disqualify every Member of Parliament from sitting on a Com- 1 mittee. This is, indeed, throwin g a wet blanket over the undertaking. The cause of the Tories is bad, as they are well aware ; but they may have the con solation of knowin g that their cause, b a d as i t i s , i s better than their advocates.—illorning Chronicle. We have seen in the columns of several of our Contemporaries nu:nerous articles reflecting upon the conduct of tnc City Committee appointed to superin tend the arrangements for the dinner to be given to her Most Gracious Majesty on the 9th of this month ; and we have also been informed, not only publicly, but privately, that the greatest partiality has been exhi bited by the same Committee in the apportiol-L„g the tickets. Thus, for example, we were .irif , mried two days ago, that our ContemporPr i - ihe Times, had re ceived two tickets of af.4 l missio'n to the festival, the Chrortele . two, and the Morning herald two, and that none hack peen app ortict ie d t o any ot h er j ourna l . The day afterwards we Statement was not e truer and wer t e h t only again i ouc nform ticket ed thof a at th d e - mission had 'nee', arrtioned to the Times, to the Chroni , :,: e, and to bei•;,g omitted I a lli l e Post, the Morning Herald Ors that one again, nera _ e last night, it reached our / , th e Chronicle, and the . Times 'were. Ir on a division selected as the only fit and pro iier channels for chronicling the events of the day, And that the Advertiser, upon b • eing proposed, was re jected by a majority of one. What the real state of the ease may be, it is impossible for us to divine ; but until we have officially that a learn e— the 'Myer liser—which, without exception, is the leadin g journal of the metropolis, so far as its circulation and the number of its readers are concerned—has been Excluded, we cannot by any possibility ; bring our- HIM to believe that the vote of exclusion referred e— to could have been agreed to by any member or mem bers either of the Court of Aldermen or of the Court of Common Council. We know of no just offence which this journal has ever given to the civic Cur- sUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, IS ;7. pcl Mr. Byng wai in effect to repel the Commoners of England. It was to deaationalise the solemnity. It was to reduce it to the rank of a very vulgar entertain ment, given by a very i g norant class of persons, to a very condescending Queen. There are, however, and we arc hound to confess it, redeeming circumstances, so far as they go, in the con:!uct, or in the destiny rather, of the Committee, Evaything lit tlieit pi'oceed ings seems to have been at haphazard, but all the throws have not been against them. It is lucky that upon motion, proposed and duly seconded, they said they would have nothing to do with Lord Ehrington. It is lucky that in the same explicit and formal manner they repudiated Dr. Lushington and Mr. Hume. It is a piece of luck which really we should not have expected that in Ike manner Mr. Charles Pearson was rejected. The luck of the City Committee is like that of the fortunate persons in the East whom, when they are lucky, the Prophet is sup posed to have under his especial guidance. But our space compels us to conclude for the present. It will he our duty, however, to recur to the subject again and again. The exclusion of ladies of rank, in order that Common Councihnen may be comfortably accommo dated, is a part of the subject upon which we shall have some observations to offer. The character and station of those who, disgusted with the whole affair and the persons who conduct it, have returned a negative re ply to their invitations, is another. And a third will include some anecdotes and remarks relating to the Ba ronetcy, usually, we believe, upon such occasions, con ferred upon the Lord Mayor. The hitch, and the cause of it, and the whole curious negotiation upon the subject, it will probably be our duty to elucidate. — Morning Post.

The Queen has been pleased to nominate and appoint George William Frederick Villiers, Esq., her Majesty's Envoy Extraor dinary ithd Minister Plenipotentiary to livr Catholic Majesty, to be a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. WHITEHALL, OCT. 30. The Queen has been pleased to present the Rev. John Hailstone, A.M. i to the Vicarage of Bottisham, in the county of Cam • bridge and dideeto tff Ely, void by the promotion of Dr. Thomas Musgrave to the see of licreiatir , • • WHITEHALL, OCT. M. • The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passtd under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom of Greet Britain and Ireland unto James Clark, of George-street, in the parish of St. George, Hanover-squaro, in the cuunty of Middlesex, Esq., Doctor of Medicine, and first. Physicia3 in Ordinary to her Majesty, and to the heirs male of ins body law fully begotten. poration— we do know of some benefits which it has conferred upon many of its members, as well as of much good-will towards the Corporation as a body which it has not had an opportunity of . alowing, and we should therefore be exceedingly surprised that in any arrangement for the admission of visitors to the Royal Festival a vote of exclusion should pass the Entertainment Committee against a Journal, the pro fits of which are invariably applied to an Institution which her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria not only patronises, but of which it was the first act of her reign, with respect to benevolent institutions, to become the Patroness.—Morning Advertiser. When the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be; When the devil got well, the devil a saint was he." This well-known distich, which we see so perpe tually realised in private life, is literally adapted to the Satanic spirit which at present rules Ireland, and for a time directs the destinies of England. Every one must have marked the suddenly humbled tone of O'Connell, as evinced especially in his unexpected readiness to dissolve his mock anti-tithe Parliament, yclept the Geaeral Association. And why this sudden lapse into comparative saintship, but that he finds himself sick at heart at the growing hatred and oppo sition with which his conduct and principles are re ceived by the people of England ? Besides this, he finds that the law even in Ireland is too strong for his designs of Church spoliation ; for, after all the bluster which we have had ton the subject, the tithe-resisters find they are compelled to pay, and that with the addition of swinging bills of costs to boot. It is highly probable that, in addition to these circumstances, O'Connell has received more than one intelligible hint from head-quarters that a temporary lowering of tone, to a pitch more bordering on mode ration, was essential to the continuance of his puppets in office ; and if such has been the case, no doubt but the agitator would rather devour all the words he has ever uttered, than risk the daily golden egg which the patronage of the Castle affords to him and his fol lowers. But the people of England, and no small proportion of those of Ireland too, are too well aware of the character of the man to be for a moment the dupes of his (lona . ferens. They know full well— from dear-bought experience—that the Saintship will only last during , the sickness ; and that, in fact, his machinations arc, to the - full, as dangerous, if not more so, when he proffers amity, as when he threatens with the most deadly hatred. No one, then, will, we trust, be so weak to be put off his guard by this seeming contrition and moderation, which will be abandoned immediately that the time arrives when the mask need no longer be conve niently worn. Both the Whigs and their chieftain have, it must be admitted, a difficult game to play ; and one which requires all the skill and cunning of the most practised heads to save them from losing. Every day brings proof of the repugnance felt by all ranks of people in this country to the unnatural rule of this man ; while the Whig Ministers become every day more sensible that while they owe to him their political existence, it is a tenure of office at once treacherous and fragile in itself, and one which must more and more destroy them in public opinion. Having 4ter mined, however, to brave the tempest, and, if possible, to keep the sea a little longer, every effort, no doubt, will be made to effect so desirable an object. Among other means, that of pacifying O'Connell is to be re sorted to ; he, on his part, is willing, of course, to assist in the experiment. Hence, as an expedient, we have the tone of moderation before alluded to, so foreign to his nature and to his ultimate designs. Let him but recover the ground which he has lost, and the saintship will be as sullenly laid aside as it has been assumed.—Morning Herald. Two days ago we ventured to arraign at the bar of public opinion the conduct of the dignified persons to whom the Corporation of the city of London have entrusted the management of an entertainment about to be given to the Queen of England on her accession to the Throne. We said. that, the question having been mooted in this Committee of the Common Council of the city of London. whether the compliment of an invitation should be paid to the Queen's uncle, the King of the Belgians, it was a direct affront to her Majesty, and an outrage, as, indeed, any affront to her Majesty must be, upOn decency and common sense, to meet and dispose of such a motion by a direct and un ceremonious negative. We alluded also to the conduct of those to whom the Common Council have dele gated absolute and irresponsible power in respect to the Irish Secretary, Lord Morpeth—first rejecting and sub sequently admitting his Lordship : repelling the Noble Lord when he was merely presented to their notice as an important public functionary, and as an English gen tleman in whose veins flows the noble blood of the Howards, and opening their arms for his cordial recep tion when a person of the name of Gore, who happens to be private secretary to Lord J. Russell, the Minister for the Home Department, condescendingly interceded in his Lordship's behalf. The Earl Marshal labours, we suppose, under au official obligation to be present, • but it may reasonably be expected that he is the only person of his name who will appear at a solemnity which has brought upon one of the race of Howard the indignity of being r ecommen d e d to not i ce b y M r. Gorc. It is fit to mention, if it were only for Lord rklorpeth's consolation, the names of some other dis tinguished persons Whom the City tribunal have pro nounced unworthy of an invitation to meet the Queen, and with respect to whom the first vote of this court of honour is final, because Mr. Gore has not inter ceded on their behalf. The Duke of Rutland is one of the most distinguished of the nobility of England —not for his rank only, although that be the highest, but for the personal qualities which would shed lustre upon any rank. His Grace is unquestionably one of the first of those among the high aristocracy of our country to wlvmr, in any season of embarrass ment or danger, a youthful Sovereign of Either sex might resort for counsel or for protection, in the fullest confidenc e that the one would be dictated by prudence and integrity, and the other eagerly of fered in th e s pi r i t o f l oya l an d chivalrous devotion. There is another and an accidental distinction enjoyed by his Grace, which, on such an occasion, ought not to have been overlooked, viz., that he is one of the personal friends of her Majesty and the Du chess of Kent, and has had, we belie ve, the honour of receiving them as guests under his princely roof. These seem to be strong_ claims to the h onour o f an in vitation fro m th e City Committee. But they were not strong enough—they lacked the recommendation of Mr. Gore, The Duke of Rutland was proposed as a proper person to receive an invitation to meet her Ma jesty, and the proposition was negatived. In this in stance the negative _vote was conclusive, for the pri vate Secretary of Lord John Russell did not inter fere. We have adverted already to the manner in ‘‘hich this-Common Council Committee dispose of Royalty, as in the case of the King of the Belgians; of official rank, in its fare eombination with exalted birth, as in the case - -ef Lord Morpeth ; of the highest class of the Peerage, in co n j unct i on w i t h the personal fn ends ' hip of the Sovereign, who ho llows Cit y by becoming its guest, as in the case of the Duke of Rutland. It only remains for us to describe their manner of treating that impor tant class, the Commoners of England. M r . B yng , the Member for Middlesex, may be mentioned by us without exciting the suspicion of political partiality. We do not agree with Mr. Byng in politics, but the Common Council of the city of London do. And we think that the Committee of the Common Council of the city of London, in rejecting the proposition that Mr. Byng should be invited to meet the Q ueen o f En„e!and at the Guildhall of their city, offered an insult to the whole body of British Commoners. Had the question been put to any man of any party, « Wh o i s the fittest man, apart from official rank, or recollections connected with office, to represent the Commoners of England at a banquet at which the Queen of England is to be entertained by the Corpora tion of the city of London'?" what would have been the immediate and unhesitating reply ? George Byng. The Patriarch of the House of Commons—the representative of the metropolitan county for almost half a century—tire Member of Parliament whose po litical sentiments accord with those of the City Cor poration, could not have been refused a seat (for here the idea of any competitor is manifestly absurd), unless it had been intended to intimate that the Commoners of England, as a class,• could have no pretensions to take an interea in the proceedings of the day. To re- CORONER'S INQUEST. SUICIDE OF A MEDICAL STUDENT BY PRUSSIC ACID.— Last night an inquest was held at the Pavilion Tavern, Vauxhall Bridge-road, on the body of Mr. Michael Bruns hill, aged 20, a medical student, who committed suicide by taking Prussic acid. The evidence was as follows : Elizabeth Pickett, servant to Mr. Brunshill, surgeon, of No. 17, Pembroke-place, Vauxhall Bridge-road, deposed that the deceased was her master's brother, and assisted him in his profession. For some weeks past he had been in a dejected state. Witness saw him in the shop on the forenoon of the previous day, when he was very different in his manner from what he formerly was. About half-past twelve o'clock witness found that he was stretched oa his back, apparently quite lifeless. Mr. Wilson, a surgeon, who arr►ved in a short time, pronounced him quite dead. By the Jury—l am not aware of any circumstance that preyed upon the mind of the deceased. He lived upon the most affectionate terms with his brother and family. Mr. David Wilson, surgeon, of No. 1, Eccleston-square, Pimlico, stated that on his arrival he found the deceased laying on the floor of the parlour of his brother's house. He was quite dead. The death of the unfortunate young gentleman was caused by Prussic acid. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Mental Derangement."

On Monday afternoon the son of a widow, named Clark, living in Amelia-street, Old Kent-road, brought home half a pound of powder, for the purpose of making fireworks. Between five and six o'clock Mrs. Clark came home, and was informed of the above circumstance by her . eldest daughter. She insisted that no fireworks should be made on the premises. The youth (sixteen years of age) went up stairs and returned with the powder in a flask, and exclaimed, " Mother, in order to show you that there is no danger, I will hold it over the fire." He did so, but, in con sequence of the top of the flask not being properly covered, part of the powder fell into the fire, and, dreadful to relate, the whole instantly exploded. The report brought several hundred persons to the spot, and, on the smoke clearing off, the unfortunate youth was found lying under the window (the whole of which was blown out), his right hand and cheek being dreadfully lacerated, the eyelashes and eye brows also burnt off. The ceiling fell on Mrs. Clark and four children, who were sitting at tea, but all of them, with the exception of the eldest daughter (who has also lost her eyebrows and lashes), escaped without the slightest injury ; but the table, tea-cups, &c., were broken into a thousand pieces. It is a miracle that no lives were lost. It is re markable that a canary-bird, hanging over the fire-place, also escaped the shock. In consequence of her Most Gracious Majesty's in tended visit to the city on Lord Mayor's day next, the Society of College Youths, the Junior Society of College Youths, and the Society of Cumberland-Youths, have each agreed to ring a peal of caters on Stedman's principle, to contain 7,000 changes. The College Youths will ring their peal at St. Bride's, Fleet-street, which will be conducted by the celebrated Mr. 'William Dunn ; the Junior Society will ring their peal at St. Magnus, by London-bridge (where the civic procession will take water), which will be conducted by their active and intelligent secretary, Mr. Daniel Jenson ; and the Cumberland Youths will attempt their peal on the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, which will be conducted by Mr. Zachariah Frost, who is considered to be the most competent man in all England to ring a tenor bell, and whichever Society succeeds will be allowed to have achieved the greateet performance ever rung. Bets to a considerable amount are pending between the three Societies, and six to one are offered by the con noisseurs of the art in favour of the Junior College Youths. SUI CI D E.—Yesterday afternoon ;lames Godfrey, aged about 50, was found suspended by the neck and quite dead in his bed-room at the Black Swan, Broad street, in this city. The line by which he hung was a mere twine, such as is used in packing, and by no means, to all appearance, capable of bearing such a weight. The deceased was a coachman and well known as the driver of the Birmingham coach from the White Hart, and the Gloucester from the York House. At the inquest held last night, before A. 11. English, Esq., coroner, it appeared from the evidence of Mr. C. Rudge the landlord, that the deceased bad received every possible attention there, not withstanding he had never paid a single penny for his board and lodging since he had entered the house ---now upwards of three months. Distress is supposed to have brought about this melancholy catastrophe, as the deceased had only 2d. in his pocket.—Verdict ---" Temporary Insa nity."—Balls Herald. THE LATE MR. MA LT H us.—The following testi monial, engraved on a marble tablet, has been erected in our Abbey Church to the memory of the eminent author of the " Ess iy on Population," whose remains are interred within that venerable building :—" Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus, long known to the lettered world by his admirable writings on the social branches of political economy, particularly by his Essay on Population.' One of the best men and truest philosophers of any age or country.

FIRE AT THE RESIDENCE OF JOHN LOCK, ESQ., HERNE HlLL—About half-past eight o'clock on Saturday night flames were perceived to issue from the roof of a range of stabling built up against one end of the villa residence at Herne-hill, Camberwell, of John Lock, Esq., a Common Councilman for the Ward of Bridge. Fortunately the dis covery was early made and an alarm given. There was at the time a large dinner party assembled within the mansion, consisting of the fellow-citizens and friends of the wealthy owner, among whom was Mr. Alderman Cowan, the Lord Mayor elect. The dessert had just been introduced when the unpleasant news that the stable was on fire put an abrupt stop to the festivities of the day. The host and his guests hastily quitting the social board, hurried out to as certain the nature of the danger and to assist in quelling it. Messengers were sent off in various directions, while the visitors, their servants, those of the establishment and the neighbours, busied themselves in different ways in rendering assistance. The fire received a decided check within the residence, but still raged fiercely in the stables, in the lofts of which the stock of hay and corn had generally caught the flames. By ten o'clock at night all danger of the spread of the flames had ceased. The cause of the fire is not certainly ascertained but there appears good ground for believing that it is attributable to something deloctive either in the construction or in the condition of a flue in the kitchen, which is supposed to have been overheated. The damage by fire to the mansion is confined to one bed room and a corner of the roof, but there is much furniture in other rooms injured by water. The property is iurccif DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY. ,OLIN SIWS3I AN NATHAN, furniture-broker, Bristol ROBERT DUNCAN WILNIOT, Merchant, Liverpool. BANKRUPTS.

( From the Ness London Price Current of last Evening.) • StT,Aa.—The.dcmod for West India Nluscovades has been very moderate during the pot week from both grocers and refiners, and the purchases have been only 1,500 hhds. and trs., which may principally be attributed to the prompt falling due on this side of the present year, and• the former being mostly engaged at the Tea sales, but previous prices have been fully supported, and in some instances even a slight advance has been obtained; the deficiency in the stock liaa increased since last week, and will continue so up to the end of the present season, when it is estimated- it will be nearly 16,000 hlids. and trs. under that of the former year; the deliveries for home consumption continue very large : up to the pre sent period 14,000 hilds. and' trs. more have been delivered than in 1336 ; the stocks in second hands arc still small ; the arrivals have been very light since this day week. This afternoon there was a revival in the demand; the great deficiency in the comparative stocks operated much on the minds of the buyers, besides giving the holders increased con fidence : the enquiries at Friday's prices were very consider able, but these were refused by the importers, who demanded 6d. a 13. advance, which they obtained, and at which there was a very good demand chiefly from the grocers ; the pri vate purchases amounted to 1,050 hhds. and trs., besides 120 Ws. Barbadoes at public sale, principally a superior parcel, which went with much briskness at 6d. to Is, advance on prcvious'prices, the rise more particularly on the Lest de scriptions ; mid. 3 , e110w went at 625. 6d. to 635. 6d., good . 645. 6d. to 655. 61, fine 665. to 675. 6d. The stock of West India Sugar is now 27,983 hlids. and trs., being 13,690 less than last year. The stock of Mauri tius is now 54,064 bags, which is 17,996 more than last year (including the East India Dock).
