IRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The accounts from Ireland continue in every respect as favourable to the cause of reform, and to the cha racter of the liberal and enlightened noblemen upon whom, in an especial manner, the Government of teat section of the United Kingdom devolvea ) tea tha most sau'uine friends of freedom and nal.!anal contentment could hope for or even desire. lu every county the first duty dis'hargcd by the Assistant-Barristers, who are now on their quarterly circuit, is to congratulate the grand juries upon the peaceful condition of their respective districts. At Kilkenny, at Limerick, at Tipperary, in Clare—counties that used to supply such abundant themes of lamentation to the frier g of that country, and such teeming topics of unchristian exultation to its enemies—in each of these counties, once the prey of outrage and agrarian disturbance, unexampled peace prevails. Let not the apostate and the consistent abettors of Tory abuse presume to deny this fact, on the pretence that its truth is attested merely by Liberal journalists. There is incon testable, unquestionable evidence that the fact is as we have stated. The charges of the As sistant-Barristers, delivered in open Court, and received without dissent by the assembled ma gistracy, are testimony irrelragable as to the state of the country. In one county, or rather in a particular district of a county (Nenagh), where for merly, and down to a very reeetici period, the criminal cases of the quarter sessions used to occupy the Bench for several days, at the last sessions this branch of the public business was disposed of in a couple of hours ! It does not suit the corrupt purposes of the Tory newspapers to advert to, or even to state, these facts, so pregnant with credit to the present Administration and to the Irish people, but so full of reproach against that party who, until 1830, wielded, almost without inter mission for half a century, the power of the Crown in this Empire, and who are therefore responsible befo r e God and man for the crimes--the excesses—the de moralisation that sprung out of their policy. No, the organs of the corruptionists prefer the profligate reports of " diabalical outrages," manufactured either by their worthy collaborateurs, the " state of the country" prints, or by their own correspondents —person s mani festly well suited to the work that is imposed upon them. Can the turpitude of the Tory faction be more hideously manifested ? Can there be a more damning commentary upon their motives and con duct ? What if, under Tory domination, Ireland was a scene of confusion, a vast arena for fierce contention, while peace follows in the train of a liberal Viceroy and Chief Secretary —what if, during the Perceval, and Liverpool, and Wellington Administrations, there was neither cessation from religious conflicts or fac tious feuds, nor respect for the law or its administra tion, while one year of the Government of the Mel bourne Ministry has sufficed to crush factions, and to make the laws feared and respected—surely this is not a sufficient justification for the suppression of a truth that should be universally known, by the organs of the party whose policy is placed in such odious contrast with that of their successors in office, by the undenia ble effects of each ? It must, doubtless, be galling to the Tories to see their own system rendered hate ful by the gratifying results of its opposite. Sir Robert Peel cannot help feeling annoyed by the un expected and unexampled state of subordination to which his political opponents have happily brought Ireland. He had been Secretary in that country : mid night murder and confl agrat i on d eso l ate d the land, and bore testimony to the baleful policy of its rulers. He and his party are stripped of power—their principles are banished from the Council-board—their system is thrown into opposition with themselves—a completely different order of things ensues, and the result is such as to fill with joy the heart of the philanthropist and the Christian statesman.' Ccedant arma togre. Martial law has given way to the contitutional tribunals ; the word of a beloved Viceroy is more potent than the Insurrection Act; respect for the administration of justice has super seded the sanguinary code to which vengeful factions heretofore applied for brutal redress of their real or ima ginary wrongs ; and a peaceful and just determination to obtain their rights constitutionally and legally has sup planted a stern feeling of violent resistance to oppres sion. This is the great triumph of Lords lqulgrave and Morpeth. Upon this can they and their Cabinet colleagues take to themselves great glory. This it was which caused the General Association, for instance, to pass the admirable resolutions which we published on Tuesday. To what besides can the invaluable speech of Mr. O'Connell, which we that day laid before our readers, be attributed ? Would he—could he--have delivered that most able address, and proposed such resolutions, in such an assembly and in such circum stances, did he not feel perfectly satisfied that the heart of the country throbbed in unison with his pa negyric upon the existing Government ? Insulted — calumniated—oppressed— an d denied their rights —the people of Ireland yet declare their purpose ra ther to endure, for a time, grievous wrong, than to endanger the stability of a paternal Government, by insisting at once upon all that they are legally and equitably entitled to. And, when the Catholics are of this mind, we really do think the Protestant opponents of tithe can conscientionsly afford to moderate their demands. Surely Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Sheil are as anxious for, and as interested in, the total extinc tion of tithes, as a source of Protestant ecclesiastical revenue, as Mr. Sharman Ciawford or Sir William Molesworth can by possibility be. The Irish priests, too, are, we imagine, as sincerely opposed to tithe—as zealous for its appropriation to different uses—as the Members for Dundalk and Cornwall. We allude to these two gentlemen specifically, because we believe in their integrity—becau se we f ee l perfectly assured that they do no t y belong, in head or in heart, to a class which, under the guise of brawling Radicals, are either the slaves of fiendish passion, or the base instruments of Tory artifice. Against this class__ for unfortunately it is of a class, and not of isolated cases, we are obliged to speak—the friends of civil and religious liberty can not be too much on their guard. With professions of freedom on their lips, their tongues arc covered with malice, and their hearts filled with corruption. Why will honourable men seem even to countenance the doings of such a class ? Does Sir William Moles worth—does Mr. Sharman Crawford—think that tithes can be altogether taken from the clergy of the Established Church in the next Session of Parlia ment ? So monstrous a supposition cannot, we persuade ourselves, find a receptacle in the heads of men who claim to be intellige nt and rational. Then why sternly protest, as Mr. Crawford has done, and as Sir Wil liam world appear prepared to do, against a plan of modified relief ?Is the mere assertion—for it can be 110 more --of an abstract principle just we allow, but impracticable at this moment—is this so fine a thing that it should take precedence of all consideration re specting the principle which is to animate the Cabinet Council of Great Britain ? There are at this moment, to wave all reference to English or foreign questions, half a dozen antiquated Judges dozing or tottering upon the judicial bench in Ireland. These gentlemen are Tories —avowedly so with one exception, who ought not i n t rut h to b e excepted—and they are run 'ling their lives against the existence of the present Cabinet. The instant a Tory Premier comes in, that instant they go out on pensions, making way for a young brood of Orange .Judges, to be composed of - Messrs. Blackburne, Lefroy„Jackson, Litton, West, Brewster,—men whose very names stink in the nostrils of the Irish people, as their principles are abhorred. Is this an evil of so trivial a nature as to warrant the preference by a sincere Reformer and Liberal of the mere assertim of a pleasing principle or impracticable abstraction ? With this suggestion for the considera tion of sincere Reformers, we drop the subject for this day.—Morning Chronicle. The great West Kent meeting held at Maidstone the day before yesterday was one of the right English breed —a meeting of men wh o felt strongly, decidedy, manfully, and spoke plainly, that which they thought and were resolved upon. The Church, in its natural precedence, representing the religion of the country, the King, and the House of Lords—the three great powers now most . rudely m enace d b y revolution—have found in the good sense, th e h onour, and the un flinching determination of the men of Kent, who were there assembled, that when the hour of peril shall ar rive, neither Church, nor King, nor Lords, will perish for want of champions.

We inferred . a.. us purposes into latrt) DAY, JANUARY 20, iB3l. that the cause we advocate was making sure and rapid advances. But, that we may not deceive ourselves, we turn to the doings of the adversaties. We have had a miserable exhibition of R a di ca l wea k ness i n a di str i ct where, till lately, Itadicalism was paramount. We are satisfied with the dotible proof: Let every man who doubts the good effect likely to result from the noble address delivered by Sir Robert Peel before three thou sand . five hundred individuals at Glasgow hasten to strengthen his hope of better times by studying, in the columns of the Morning,- Chronicle, the vapid common-place spouted by Sir William Molesworth to one hundred and thirty persons at Birmingham. The Birmingham meeting, like the Bath meeting, and the Totness meeting, and what ever o th er meet ings the Downing-street gentry have rejoiced in, proves satisfactorily two things. In the first place it proves that the opponents of Sir Robert Peel are losing daily their numbers, their influence, and their confi dence. In the second place it proves that the oppo nents of Sir Robert Peel, few, feeble, and fearful as they are, are not the friends of Lord Melbourne. As at Tewkesbury, as at Totness, we have now at Bir minuham the voluntary principle, the household suf frage, the abrogation of the Peerage, the vote by hal lot. Look back six years. Mr. Macaulay, one of the most showy and popular expositors of the prin ciples of the Reform Bill, was claiming credit for the Government on account of the entire acquiescence of the country in the finality of its enactments—the en tire abandonment by the wildest and the most wayward of their impracticable fancies. " Who now" said Mr. Macaulay, " who now talk of the ballot ? nobody but some crazy Radical, whom the boys pelt as he walks along the streets." Well, six sessions have passed. In the rhetoric of Radicalism Earl Grey, the Prime Minister who carried the final measure, is termed " an old bellwether ;" Lord John Russell, who moved the final measure, is designated a "cracked man derin on a chimney-piece ;" Lord Althorp, who in sured the success of the Bill in the Commons by his affability, is the most incapable man that ever inter fered with the Government of a country ; Lord Brougham, who illustrated the beauty of the Bill in the Lords by his eloquence, is unfit to be Chancellor either of the kingdom or of his own University. And as for the ballot, which in 1831 was in such disgrace with the Whigs, Lord Melbourne, seeing the power of the Radicals as compared with the Whigs, their weak ness as compared with the Conservatives, knows per festly well that his dilemma has only two horns—he must reject the ballot, and be expelled from office .by the disaffection of the seditious ; or he must adopt the ballot, and be expelled from office by the indigna tion of the loyal.—Morning Post. NEW YORK, DEC. 23. SPECIE.—We notice a considerable arrival at New Or leans from Mexico. For some time past the receipts from that quarter had been suspended, owing to the troubles of the country. There is no export. The price of bills has now fallen so much that there can be none to Europe for some months to come. Our cotton crop is now going forward, and by some it is believed it will amount to near 100,000,000 dollars. If this should be correct, England particularly must continue to be in debt to us. We are often struck with statements of the balance of trade. We copy the following, which is from the Secretary of the Treasury's report . WORTS AND EXPORTS FOR SIX YEARS, ENDING 30TH SEPTEMBER.

Imports for 1831 103,000,000 Exports 81,000,000 -Excess 22,000,000 Imports for 1 . 832 101,000,000 Exports 87,000,000- 14,000,000 Imports for 1833 108,000,000 Exports 90,000,000- 18,000,000 Imports for 1834 126,000,000 Exports 104,000,000- 22,000,000 Imports for 1835 149,900,000 Exports 121,000,000- 28,000,000 Imports for 1836 174,000,000 Exports 122,000,000- 52,000,000 , From a superficial view it would appear that we had fallen in debt 156,000,000 dollars in six years, and that last year we were in arrears 52,000,000 dollars, the latter sum alone greater than every dollar we have in the country. In the face of all this apparent balance against us, we have been receiving immense sums constantly from Europe. How does this happen ? The fact is, the statement is fallacious, and although it is correct, yet it should be ex plained—for instance, all the whaling and fishing trade ap pears against us, when it is really in our favour. When the ships depart they take no cargo, but when they return they bring very valuable cargoes ; several millions are therefore imported, still the country has nothing to pay for it, the same having been earned by the industry of our seamen. So with an immense number of our freighting vessels which earn a rich freight out to Europe, and invest the same in foreign goods, which, when imported, appear so much, when the same has been paid for. By the skill and industry of our seamen numerous other items might be enumerated to show that the tables, however well they ap pear, are not to be relied on, and to the casual reader fur nish an incorrect view of the ease. The export this week has been as follows : Gold. To the East Indies.... To the West Indies... 14,500 Silver. 50 5,200 14,500 dollars. 5,250 dollars. Stocks have been creeping up almost every day this week. United States Bank, and indeed almost every de scription of solid stocks, have gone up, and even the fancies stand better. The money market is getting relieved, which is plainly shown by the rise of stocks. The following have been the daily operations : Saturday, p.m.—All descriptions are firmer, although there is no great change. Monday, p.m.—Stocks are firm, particularly local banks ; United States Bank, Delaware, Dry Dock, State Bank, Morris, and Boston, and Providence ; while Mohawk, Har lem, Paterson, and Atlantic, American, and Southern Trust, and several others, are as low as ever. Although the banks discount with tolerable freedom, yet money is scarce in Wall -street, and high rates are given on all the fancies. Tuesday, p.m.—All the solid stocks are improving, and indeed all descriptions stand better. The money-market is getting decidedly easier. The period of bank dividends, the Ist of January, is arriving, and this, no doubt, has some influence on prices. United States Bank is up to 120, firm ; Union and State all better ; Delaware a little better, but it left off heavy ; Dry Dock sold higher. A good deal done in stocks, and generally at better prices. Wednesday, p.m.—Stocks were flat to-day, and less do ing than common. All cash sales are low, while time sales are brisk. Friday, p.m.—Stocks are down again to-day ; this is the third day that they have fallen. The money-market is tight—the banks will discount only to those absolutely ne cessary. Their line of discounts must be small until the Ist of January. It is difficult to discriminate—all on the list have declined a little. On the 15th inst., the Rev. Robert Gream was in • ducted to the valuable rectory of Rotherfield, near Tun bridge Wells, on the presentation of the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberg,avenny, the patron. ENORMOUS TURNIP.—A turnip of the red-top kind has lately been produced upon the farm occupied by Mr. E. Walker, at West Newton, Holderness, which has been inspected by many respectable individuals, who pro nounce it to be the finest that has ever been seen in this part of the country. The circumference is forty-two inches, and the weight twenty-nine pounds, sixteen ounces to the pound. The grower congratulates himself on having dis covered an excellent substitute for the celebrated cow•cab bage.—Hull Observer. EXTRAORDINARY Sow.--During the last few days Mr. Thomas Dean, of the Black Swan Inn, North Cave, slaughtered a sow only a little more than a year old, which within five weeks had brought him a litter of pigs. Notwithstanding that occurrence, when killed it weighed thirty-two stone eleven pounds, which is considered an almost unparalleled circumstance.--Hull Observer. For two years previous to the last summer, trade was so brisk at Birmingham that with difficulty operatives could be obtained to complete the foreign orders ; but latterly business has become extremely slack in the town, chiefly owing to the falling off in the orders for America, caused by the failure of the last harvest in the United States, and a consequent diminution in their imports and exports ; but the masters and operatives at Birmingham entertain hopes that the trade of the town will speedily revive. . . As a gentleman was sporting in Laudmoth 'Wood, near Northallerton, on Tuesday, a pheasant got up, at which he fired, and a hawk passing at the same time within the range of the gun he killed them both. The Mercure Beige gives a letter of the 6th inst. from Hamburgh, stating King Ho that the of Prussia is se riously indisposed. is said to have passed several nights without sleep, and to have suffered from attacks of fever and vomiting. The last bulletin, however, announces that his Majesty is not in actual danger. The increase of the Customs duties received at the port of Gloucester, during the last twelve months, as com pared with the preceding year, is no less than 6,0001., making a total of 166,000/. . . LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR',S COURT, JAN. 19. iensirs 11tATI1. Mr, KNIGHt applied for an injuhetiOn against the defen dants to restrain them from proceeding to tae bricks, tiles, &c, by the meats of a tertain machine or apparatus for which the plaintiff had obtained a patent: From the affidavits in support of the motion it appear , 24.l that the plain tiff discovered a tie* and lucrative mode of mantitotoring bricks in the course of iSfis ; and in the autumn of that year obtained a patent for his iuventldd, This invention con sisted of a wheel round the circumferena! which there were receptacles for clay and brick earth, in the Ilifir! of the brick to be made. Each of these had a false bottoai, called a pallet, to which was connected a piston and rod, so formed as to raise the pallet. The whole circulated over an inclined plane, and as it passed, it touched the pis ton in turn, raised the pallet, and threw out the brick. Each receptacle in its tur❑ received other clay, on which the same operation was performed, and the great benefit of the invention was the preservation of the brick in its proper shape, and preventing waste, which in all former machines for making bricks, was more or less incurred. The defendants, who resided at Birmingham, and carried on partnership together, were discovered since the date of the plaintiff's patent to he working a machine constructed an precisely the same principle, and the present motion was to restrain the use of the machine, on the ground that it was an invasion of the plaintiff's patent. Mr. JACOB opposed the injunction. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said his opinion was the plain tiffs ought to bring an action immediately, and the only question was, what should be done in the meantime. He thought that inasmuch as bricks were excisable articles, and therefore a regular account would be kept against the defendant, it would not be necessary to grant the injunction until the action could be determined. CONTEMPT OF COURT. An order having been made in the course of the day for turning a defendant over to the Fleet, for not paying a sum of money directed by the Court, the prisoner, shortly before the Court rose, said he understood an order had been made committing him to the Fleet. The VICE-CHANCELLOR had certainly made an order to that effect. The prisoner said he had already lain fifteen mouths in a county gaol for a perjured debt, and requested his Honour would inform him if he could not obtain some relief under Sir E. Sugden's Act. His HONOUR recommended the prisoner to mention his case to some gentlemen at the bar, who would advise him how he had better proceed. The prisoner bowed and withdrew. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 19. Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Justice Coleridge were again prevented by illness from taking their seats upon the Bench. MINSTER V. MOWER. This was an action for the infringement of the plain tiff's patent in the manufacture of a reclining chair. The plaintiff claimed a patent for a self-adjusting lever, as applied to the back and seat of a chair, in whatever form the same may be. The cause was tried at Guildford, when the verdict had been given for the plaintiff, and a rule had since been obtained to set it aside, and have a new trial. The Attorney-General showed cause against the rule. The Court took time to consider the question. BAD STATE OF THE COURT. At the close of the day several cases we!e postponed on account of the continued illness of different members of the bar. Sir F. POLLOCK could not but take this opportunity of stating in this Court, as he had yesterday stated i❑ the Court of Exchequer, that the state of the Court was such as to render it impossible for gentlemen to remain in Court without very considerable danger to their health in weather like the present. The draughts of cold air were great and continual, and no means had been at tempted to be taken to remedy the evil. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 19. BRETELLION V. SANDO9. Mr. HUMPHREYS moved for a rule to show cause why the defendant should not be discharged out of custody upon common bail. This was an action of debt ; the debt had been incurred in France ; and certain proceed ings had been taken in that country. The ground upon which he rested the present motion was, that, proceedings having been had in France, the plaintiff had no right to proceed against the person of the bankrupt here. This was the only point of interest which the case possessed. The Court granted the rule nisi. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 19. lIARDING V. STOKES. This was an action of debt to recover a penalty of 50/. alleged to have been recovered under the provisions of the Act of sth and 6th Wm. IV. (the Municipal Corporation Act) c. 76, sec. 4. The declaration stated that the borough of Bristol was one in which, under that statute, an election was to take place of a certain number of persons to be called town councillors ; that an election did take place ; and that defendant, not regarding the statute, did corrupt a voter, one James Wakefield, by corruptly promising to give him employment in hauling stones at a certain hire and for a reward, to induce him to give a vote to particular candi dates. It was held, upon demurrer, that this employment was a reward within the latter as well as the former branch of the section, and that a corrupt agreement was sufficiently stated in the declaration ; but it being the first case since the passing of the Act, defendant was allowed to amend upon payment of costs. The case ultimately came on to be tried last summer at Bristol. A nonsuit was entered, leave being given to plaintiff's Counsel to move to set it aside and enter a verdict, or for a new trial. Mr. ERLE last Term obtained a rule Nisi against which Mr. BUTT this day showed cause. Rule absolute. ARCHES' COURT, ;JAY. 19. JUDGMENT.---THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED EY TAYLOR V. MORLEY. In this case the office of the Judge is promoted by Mr. Wm. Taylor, the churchwarden of Newport Pagnell, against the Rev. George Morley, the Vicar of that pa rish. The charges brought against the Rev. Gentleman were, that he had been guilty of brawling in the pari s h church, and had ins u lt e d, an d been violnt in his con duct to, the Venerable and Reverend the Archdeacon and Commissary, at a visitation held by him on the 30th of May, 183.5, in that church. The Learned JUDGE gave his decision this day. He stated at some length the whole facts of the case, which have already appeared. The Learned Judge was of opi nion that the justice of the case would be satisfied if Mr. Morley was condemned in the amount of 751., as costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a man of decent appearance, named John Wallace, was brought up, charged with obtaining money from Sir George Cockburn, by means of a fictitious tale of distress. Mr. MrNsituLL committed him for three months to the House of Correction. HA TTON- GARDEN. , Yesterday Andrew Nicholson, aged seventeen, was placed at the bar, charged by Charles Somerville, aged eighteen, with having stabbed him with a knife, with intent to murder him. The prisoner, who is a sullen stern•looking fellow, did not deny the charge, but hung down his head and cried. Restiaux, 49 E division, produced the knife, one used by shoemakers, and proved taking the prisoner into custody. Mr. LAING convicted him in the penalty of 205., and in default of payment to the House of Correction for one month : he was eventually taken to priscin. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FAMILY RUMPUS.—AII the Prouds, big and little, of Peters-Court, came to the Office to make complaints against one another. The first complainant was the daughter, who declared that her mother, a very female Falstaff, made it a regular practice to insult her, by " calling her all to pieces," and, in addition, that she had recently given her such a " shove" as had obliged her to leave her whole-length impression in the gutter. Mother—l had plenty of provocation. Mr. CHAMBERS—What was it ? Mother—When she went by I saw her grin. Daughter—You laughed at me first. Second daughter—You're not like a mother. The last time I sent my little Billy for a ha'porth of mustard, in stead of giving the child something to buy cakes, you called out you hoped the mustard would choke us all. Third daughter—And you've got all my clothes, though I was only married last week, and if you don't give them up you shall be served out. The tongues of the ladies began to rattle with such vigour that the office was in an uproar. Mr. CHAMBERS-I ' ll settle this matter in a minute—that if, if it is possible to keep you silent so long. Mother—Bind them over to keep the peace. Daughters—Make her find bail. Mr. CHAMBERS—WiII you listen, women ? Now, th e first of you who-- Daughters—Slie'd swear our lives away. Mother—When I cut my hand last week, you said it would bring down my pride. Mr. CHAMBERS-Officer, put out all but the defendant and complainant._ Sonic degree of silence having been restored by this pro ceeding, Mr. CHAMBERS, after cautioning both parties as to their future behaviour, said he would dismiss the warrant this tjrtie . , bat if any furthei breach of the peace was com mitted he would hold all parties to bail. MARYLEBONE. SEDUCTION AND BURGLARY.---Yesterday John .21PGrath, an ill-looking Irishman, formerly a constable of the S divi sion of police, was placed at the bar before Mr. Shutt.-- r. F M rancis ‘Nralker, engraver, of No. 33, Upper Seymour trcct, Euston-square, on Tuesday morning on entering the parlour missed from off the book-shelves twelve volumes of Shakspeare. He then went into the hall, and found that a cloak was gone, as also a hat, in the place of which was left one of shocking shabby appearance. Having from in quiries ascertaieed that the prisoner, who was the servant's I)etin, was there all the Monday night, and went away early tICAE morning, he gave information to the police, by whom he was apprehended, but none of the lost property bad been discovered. He was the last up on Monday night, when the things were safe and the street-door locked ; but on the following morning, on a gentleman lodger, who al ways we :A out about seven o'clock, coming down stairs, instead of having, as was his custom, to unlock the door, he f oun d that it had already been unlocked. Marie Busby, a young woman advanced in pregnancy, was prosecutor's servant, and knew the prisoner, with whom she first became acquainted when be was in the police, and she li ve d as servan t . in St. John's Wood-road. On Mon day night he came to see her, and staid all night. He went away a little before seven o'clock the next morning.—The prisoner was then remanded. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
