SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A very witty man used to say that nothing was so costly a s a good character, for it required a constant outlay to keep it up. It strikes us that the Tories, at ail tire ,es lax in their principles, and little scrupulous os to the means for attaining their ends—never so vell pleased as when they used to think they had sw eet dcd in deceiving by false pretences—have lately thscended lower than usual in their trickery, so that t Ivey will soon be in the happy predicament of pos ssing a character which can be kept up without any cost. Their whole conduct in the case of the new poor Law is so shamefully dishonest, that those vlio defend it must. be prepared to justify the late practices at a certain fashionable club. Abuse of the _Poor Law is a regular part of the Tory system of 'canvassing ; and we have seen that the Chairman of the Warwick Union had the cool effrontery to propose a‘lr. Sergeant Adams at the late election in that place, and a member of the Board of Guardians, who had written a pamphlet in which he praised the new law to the skies, and " lamented to see that the very viru dence of party politics is let loose against it," was a warm partisan of a candidate who had no intelligible claim to his support except the letting loose the viru lence of his party politics against the law in question. _lt is everywhere the same. To their friends the To ries make no secret of their parading this hostility to gull the weak and simple minded, and of their en tertaining so favourable an opinion of the Bill, that they would regret nothing so much as the loss of it. But they calculate on the Reformers being so much' more tenacious of character that they will never abandon the Bill ; so that Tory land lords and Tory parsons may continue to have all the benefit of increased rents and Tithes, and at the same time safely indulge in declama tion against the measure to which they are in debted for them. In the case of intimidation the Tories equally endeavour to make the most of the badness of their character. An elector when can vassed will say, " I have as many good customers Whigs as Tories; but if I vote against the Tory can didate I know that all the Tories will at once with draw their custom from me ; whereas, though the Whigs may be displeased, they will not proceed to that extremity." The Duke of Wellingtor, Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, Lord Stanley, and, indeed all the Tories of any note in Parliament, profess themselves -warm admirers of the new Poor-law ; but, nevertheless, the word has gone forth from the Carlton Club to heap all mariner of abuse on the measure and its authors. The abuse cannot be brought home to the leaders, and it will be disavowed in good time. Mr. Walter may twaddle as much as pleasest - against the Bill : the Duke of Wellington laughs in his sleeve at the folly of the man, but his patty endeafour to profit by it. All the periodicals supported by them sing the same song : they all endeavour to excite prejudice against the Poor law. The respectable members of the Legislature, as they are called, affect to shut their eyes to this ; but they chuckle at the thought of gaining votes by the fraud. Blackwood' s Magazine for April contains an elaborate article which furnishes some curious illustra tio ;s of the above remarks. The title of it is, " The Whigs—the Itadicals—the Middle Classes—and the People," and the object of the writer is to show how the people may be turned tvainst the middle classes, ni order to frighten the middle classes into an alliance with the Tory Aristocracy. It seems to be a sort of commentary on the observation of Coleridge, that the Tories were short-sighted in not seeking to extend the suffrage, as they had less to dread from the lower than the middle elasses.—Morning Chronicle. Two of our morning Contemporaries laboured hard estcrday to stystain the misreprenta.tion which one of them put forth on Wednesday, respecting Ministers and the Irish Corpora,ian Bill. \Ve know not whether we shoal congratulate the Post on its ingenuity, or condol e w i t h it on the loss of its sielit. Had cur fa rilionable Contemhorary read correctly t!1:; cx'ract from the Morning Herald, and our remarks thereon, it would have saved him a world of trouble. The He rald said— " At the commencement of the present session of P..r 17=i:et, Lord .I*.ho Russell intimated, in very intelli tiOle terms, that it was the intention of the oLlTlAdministra-. t'n to which he b e longs to resign, it they were SUCCCFS, Itd in carryiog the Irish Municipal Bill in Mc House rf Lords." The Pact omits in its quotation the words printed 1 in it:flit-4, and consequently wanders into totally irrele- ' sant topics. The /lea':/el, too, " (' lu .IVI-Ghee) perverts Lord John Russel's speech on the of February ; but, as 1)0111 the Tory papers hate bad the cznAour to quote the Noble Lord's words, we think h s Loi d,hip will feel quite at case under these attacks, for it fortunately happens that the t...xt falsifies the commentary. Now what was the language of the I Home Minister 11! Mich is carped at by the journals in the interest of the Tories ? The Noble Laid said— " I consider this (the Irish Municipal Bill) a question o f vital importance to the present Administration.—(Loud cries .‘ Hear.") I am fully sensible of the evil of bring ing forward Bills year after year, and suffering them to be deie,ned and lost, without takin / any farther step ?Ton the Tt.---(Reacwed cries of. Hear,' and loud cheers.) * * * * Ido not think that we could permanently go on, r that we could be fairly entitled to ask for the confi dence of this House, if we, continuing an Administration, saje' ed principles to be applied, with regard to the Go vernment of Ireland, against which we have decidedly pro tested.' What is there here to warrant the assertion that Lott] John Russell pledged himself and his colleagues to retire from office should they fail to carry the Irish Corporation Bill through the House of Lords in the present session ? The extract affords no pretence for hazarding so extravagantly unfounded an asser tion. Is it likely, we ask, that Ministers, possess ing the confidence of the country and the support of the House of Commons upon this very-ques tion, would harbour for a moment the insane thought of insulting the nation and degrading themselves by retreating before a despicable knot of factiouz • bigots, with no other weapon for attack than a gilded bauble ? Ministers resign, forsooth, should a clique of corrupt and venomous Lords—the crea tures of a breath, and who enjoy their privileges ex pressly for the benefit of the people—blindly persist in thwarting the public will. Is there not another wing to the alternative, the preference of which would be much more creditable to Ministers ? Cannot Peers be created to neutralise the vicious preponderance pro duced in the Upper House by Tory policy since the accession of the third George? And should this prove ineffectual, may not the House of Lords be re formed as well as the old House of Commons? A third " step," less Radical, is open to Ministers-- we mean an appeal to the country as the supreme and rightful arbiter between Ministers and the Commons cn the one hand, and the House of Lords on the other. Lord John Russell and his colleagues are doubtless " fully sensible of the evil of bringing forward Bills—year after year—and suffering them to be defeated and lost, without taking any further step upon the subject ;"—and we rest sa tisfied they will not shrink from the adoption of that " further step," should the Peers again mutilate the measure, which their own honour and the interests of the nation require them unhesitatingly to take. An appeal to the people must necessarily tread upon the ~,beels of a rejection of the Bill by the irresponsible Tory Peers. Should the country betray its own in terests and side with the corruptionists, Ministers will preserve their reputation untarnished, and retire into honoured privacy. But they will never succumb to faction. Should they be driven from the helm, it must be by the people for whose advantage they retain office : they will never cover themselves with the dis grace of a flight before a profligate oligarchy. Let this be our answer to all past, present, and future quibbling and misrepresentations of the Tories on this subject.—Morning Chronicle. The Ministerial prints are full of rapture at what they would fain persuade their readers has been a great display in the North, and which they denominate, in characters that a blacking-puffer might envy, " The Public Entry of the Liberal Candidates for the Re 'on of Leeds." The conductors of these .• 7_ :4•_••1:7,7-.:the whole hog in all things, and, if they serve their master's turn, we have no -..,.'c0u1d swear that Mr. Rice had despatched . a full-grown Westphalian boar barbacued, e ' appetite of the Jim Crow of the Treasury ; • y been satiated with one of the hind legs of a Ai sucking pig. Their zeal, too, vastly outruns their dis cretion, for certainly there was nothing very consola tory to Whigs in the affair about which they make so great parade ; and if their masters know their own inte rests better than the men, the latter will assuredly get more kicks than halfpence for their pains in this matter when the Ministers return to town. However, just as they describe the thing, so will we, upon their au thority, narrate it for the amusement of our readers. This " public entry," then, took place on Easter Monday, and the " Liberal candidates ' were Sir Wil liam Molesworth and old Mr: Baines. Their entry was after this fashion :—Sir William Molesworth ap peared in his " own" carriage, as the Ministerial crubs are most particular to tell us, and it seems that tie was so good as to give old Mr. Baines " a cast" on the occasion—not the only cast, we suspect, the lelon.Baronet will give Mr. Baines ; for, as we are sure of one Conservative at least for Leeds, if Mr. Baines and Sir W. Molesworth start on the Radical interest, we would bet two to one on the Baronet. But to proceed with the description. The postilions were attired in orange silk jackets and caps," at which the four post-horses, we suppose, took umbrage, for we find that the quadrupeds were accommodated with a bit of ()ranee also. Of course, Mr. Baines and Sir William Molesworth wore the same colours, and though it " is not under white and black," we take it for granted that Mr. Baines was sucking " a real Seville" to match. Then there were flags and a band of music. Now, it must be admitted by every body that this was all perfectly en regle—that the Baronet and Mr. Baines made their " public entry" into Leeds precisely in the style of other candidates for patronage in provincial towns at holyday time. For instance, who does not recollect the " public entries" of the late Mr. Gyngell, the conjuror ? He always appeared in his " own" carriage, with his master-mer ryman by his side, chewing lighted tow, postillions and four horses, bedizened with all the finery of the show " properties," banners, and a band of music. Such of our readers as have arrived at man's estate need but this memento to bring that lamented quack and his shabbily-fine cortege as plainly before their mind's eve, as that of Sir William Molesworth was pre sent to the actual optics of the good folks of Leeds. The object, too, of these public characters was the same. Mr. Gyngcll's entries were for the purpose of getting people to come to his show in the evening. So was the entry of Sir W. Molesworth and Mr. Baines ; and this brings us to the account of that part of the affair. Taking the estimate of the Ministerial prints to be accurate,—though we have little doubt that it is greatly exaggerated,—the appearance of Sir W. Moles worth, Mr. Baines, the carriage, the four horses with orange rosettes, the postilions with orange jackets and caps, the flags, the band of music, &c., mustered a rabble of men, women, and children, to the amount of 15,000 persons. We dare say that 5,000 would be nearer the mark ; but, supposing the number to have been 15,000, we do not think it very much, consider ine. that the attraction was not a little of the merry andrewD and mountebauk order,—that the day was Easter Monday, which is almost an universal holyday, especially among the juniciebranches of the " Liberals ;' that in all times, and in all places, " one fool makes many ;" and that the population of Leeds at the last census was 123,393. And how many came to the show in the evening ? According to the Ministe risl accounts, just -250 Thiele of that, reader I 250 out of a population of 123,393. Why, Mr. Gyrutell would have had double the nuni her, though he could not have afforded to have a dinner on the occasion, which these " Liberal candidates" had. Yes ; the evening performance of Messrs. Molesworth and Baines was at a dinner at tended by 250 persons, of whom the Ministerial prints mention 14 by name, taking care, of course, to dub them all esquires. These were G. Goodman, Esq., Mayor, A. Marshall, Esq., and H. C. Marshall, Esq., 11. H. Stansfield, Esq., and H. Stansfield, Esq., J. Huldforth, Esq., J. Clapham, Esq., Hutchins - on, Eq., T. Pease, Esq., H. Bentley, Esq., G. Wailes, Esq., .1. Wilkinson, Esq., W. Cadman, Esq., and D. Lupton, E-q. To these must be *tided , (no name given). Sir W. Molesworth's legal adviser and liam's brother. It is not stated Whether the pus tilions are included among these esquires, most of whose names our readers will now, we suspect, hear of fur the first time ; and altholigh we have no doubt they were all very respectable persons, still we cannot help thinking that they constitute hut a small and sorry sample of the elite of the wealthy and populous town of Leeds. At the same time, if the organs of the Ministers ate satisfied with such a gathering on what they consider so great an occa sion, we ought to he ten thousand times more so: If this be the strength of that party, then is ours strong indeed ; and as for carrying Leeds by such men at a contested election, the notion is too allsurd to be enter tained for a moment. Some time ago a Whig-Radical writer appeared to consider that he had said a mighty smart thing when he designated the vacation as the period of the Conservative triumph, and the Session of Parliament as that of Conservative defeat. The affair we have here described is but one among a thousand failures of the " Liberals," which demonstrate that the same thing cannot be said of the party to which the Whig-Radical dapper wit belongs. And we arc very glad that it cannot : for to what does his as sertion amount but to this—namely, that the people are of one way of thinking, and the House of Com mons of another,—that is to say, that the House of Commons does not represent the sentiments of the na tion. But it is time we should drop the curtain upon this Easter farce at Leeds. There was speechifying after dinner as usual, hut it was below criticism. Poor old Mr. Baines twaddle(' at a sad rate, and spit his spite against the Church and the Bishops with a de • gree of coarseness and ignorance that would have dis graced the lowest conventicle. Sir William Moles worth said ditto to Mr. Baines ; called, moreover, for sympathy for the Canadian rebels and the Irish rebels, passed his accustomed panegyric on the ballot, and in the same breath complained of the Orangemen of Ire land because they acted in secret ; and he indulged in various other contradictions and crotchets, which, being neither amusing nor instructive, we pass over without notice. One passage of his speech, however, we shall quote as we find it reported in a Government print. It runs thus :—" Then it is said that the great mili tary chief, the Duke of Wellington, is to be sent as Viceroy to Ireland, to treat that country as an insurgent province, and rule over it according to his well-known maxim, that that which is gained by the sword must be kept by the sword." We are bound to believe that somebody has said this, because Sir W. Molesworth asserts that " it is said ;" but we are quite sure that whoever said it lied most foully and most foolishly. If Sir W. Molesworth gives credit to the tale, he must have lost his senses ; and if he does not believe it, he ought, in common decency, to have said so, instead of adding, as he did when his audience cried " Hear, hear, hear," to it, " I ask, will the people of England permit this?" There was a time when Sir W. Molesworth would not have acted this disingenuous part—when he would have boldly declared his belief or his disbelief in the story, and not have left it thus : but " company, vil lanous company," hath been the ruin of many a better man than Sir W. Molesworth, and we are sorry to ob serve this symptom of his sickening for the worst of all the infections with which the " liberal" camp is cursed.—Times. The Stockport Meeting on Wednesday, in approv ing of the Ministerial measure for the abolition of Church-rates —the report of which appeared in yester day's Advertiser—is a gratifying response to the so phistries lately employed by the Episcopal Bench while presenting petitions for the non-abolition. The Rev. William Smith threw some light on the mode in which these petitions have been manufactured, by the follow ing statement :—" A petition lately presented to the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury, against the abolition of Church-rates, had but twelve signatures—and who do you think these parties were ? Six of them consisted of the parish-clerk and his five children, another was the sexton of the parish, two were bell-ringers, and I know not what the others were, but no doubt they were very respectable. The above is, we apprehend, a tolerable sample of the whole bulk of this precious commodity of episcopal peti tions in favour of Church-rates. It is impossible to imagine any thing more ludicrous or more inn- pudent than the sophistries which have been employed by their spiritual Lordships while so disinterestedly advocating the cause of the pro-rate petitions. We have.., endeavoured to analyze the arguments of these - prti.. rate champions both on the episcopal bench and else where, and we can make nothing out of all the ver biage employed except the proposition—that the es sence of the Christian religion consists in the payment of Church-rates. The argument might as well be cut short at once by the announcement that Church-rates are Christianity, and that the payment of 15,0001, a year to a Bishop for doing nothing is pure religion. The example of the Hierarchy of this country will prompt us the more readily to admit their conviction that Church-rates are Christianity, inasmuch as they have hitherto been the most fertile source of strife, ill blood, discord, and persecution throughout the coun try. Another ingenious sophistry of the Right Reve rend pro-raters, in all probability, had some such a peti tion as the Archbishop of Canterbury's in their eye. A ccording to them the fewer the number of petitioners . . in favour of Church-rates the more their case is strengthened, inasmuch, say they, as the petitioners show their devotion to the Church, by requesting to pay money as a favour. According to this argument—if the Archbishop's petitioners had been reduced from five children to three, and from two bell-ringers to one, their case would have been enforced. The ar;u• ment reminds us of the dialogue between Whisker. andos and Tilburina in the Critic : " My wound is great, because it is so small." To which the lady replies, " Then 'twould be greater if 'twere none at all." Such gross perversions of common sense as are em. ployed by the pro-rate champions, are indeed only fi to be laughed at. To hear them, one would imagine that the people were in a perfect fever of anxiety to spend their money in keeping alive the torch of dis cord throughout the country, and in destroying the spirit of the Christian religion, by supplying its mock expounders with new and wanton means of indulging in all the pomps and vanities of the world. According to the Bishops, the people are most zealously attached to the payment of Church-rates. In that case they pay the Church-rates voluntarily. What is that but the voluntary principle ? Why, therefore, do the Churchmen abuse it? It is clear when they do abuse it, they do not know what it means. How are the schools, infirmaries, asylums, charities, public and private, maintained, but by the voluntary principle ? Why the greater part of the Churches in the larger towns of England have been built and are maintained by the voluntary prin ciple. And yet these brawlers, when it suits their purpose, decry it. When, however, it suits their pur poae, they appeal to it. The rates are paid voluntarily, say they, as is proved by the petitions, which arc valu able in proportion to their paucity. Then they are paid by the voluntary principle. What occasion, therefore, for the episcopal outcry for their continuance ? If the people pay them voluntarily now, they will continue to pay them when there is no compulsion. If, on the contrary, they do not pay them voluntarily, then the Bishops and the clergy stand convicted,upon their own showing, of having got up fraudulent petitions, with a view to give a false colour to the inclinations of the English public. The pro-raters must accept one of the above alternatives. We leave them fixed upon whichever horn of the dilemma they may find most tolerable to the vexed nerve of defeated machination. Morning Advertiser. The Bill which has been brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Buckingham, puts one very much in mind of the advice given to the. Scottish Parliament by Drummond, of Hawthornelen—" that it be a sta tute that no public crier make Proclamation without first opening, his mouth." This Bill is one of the very oddest that ever was begotten of " wind-dreams" and crotchets. It arrogates on the part of the would.be legislator a wonderFul knowledge of ail houses of pub ic entertainment—more, in fact, than could be expec ed from any ordinary man, even if he had done no- Aling else than move about from tavern to tavern for half a century. We have heard it remarked that a certain personage, who shall be nameless, is the most terrible of saints, when the fit is on him ; and so we think is this Honourable M P. a terrible saint. _ We shall not follow him through even one of the 46 clauses of his " New Temperance Bill," because we feel quite assured that there is enough of good sense in the House of Commons, or in any house that has got a :,are and straightforward man in it, to give the Bill more rest than the projector of it can hope fur. This Hon. Gentleman has been a man of many projects—but, some how or other, these prcjects have all been addled. He went to India—to carry the whole Government by a breeze ; hut it would not do. He failed, notwithstanding all his efforts, to attract the attention of the Governor-General, whom he terribly libelled, notwithstanding all his kindness to him, or in drawing any attention to his instrument of noise at Calcutta. In the short in - tvrte L !num, however, the Senior Member of the Council seeing that this Honourable M.P. was in c orrieible, stilt him home. Then he applied to the British public to pay him for " heating the poker ;" but some how or other they would not, to the full extent of his wishes. Next came the project of a circumnavigating ship, but it never could get a fair wind ; and so whether the world ever went round the ship we cannot tell, hut we are quite sure that the ship never went round the world. These remarks may seem irrelevant, but they are not so in reality. " A jack of 01 trades" is, proverbially, " master of none ;" and we suppose that this is as applicable to the trade of law-making as to any other. On this ground we would ask the Honourable Member how he contrived to qualify himself for being the legislator, par excel lence, in the matter of public-houses ; and how the cumbrous muster of his clauses will diminish the crime and misery of which, he says, " all places at which intoxicating drinks are sold," " are the fertile sources." How conies he to know this ? by hearsay or by experience ? If the former, we desi derate the proofs ; and if the latter, we want evidence in corroboration. We had always thought, that the per sons embarking their capital in a business were the best judges of everything connected with that business —that is to say, in the absence of monopoly, and with a fair field, free alike to all who are qualified for enter in°. it. What objection is there to regularly licensed public-houses under the present system ? Does Mr. Buckingham mean to say that they are "fruitful sources of crime and misery ?" If he does, we dare him to the proof; and bid him set the crime and misery of private houses and of those of the Licensed Victuallers against each other, and say on which side the enormity lies. The fact is, that the houses, as they at present exist, are a very great benefit to the public. To many they are indispensable at an times, and to all they are useful at some times. Then why cut them into sections, and say to one, you shall sell wine only ; to another, you shall sell cider ; and to a third, you shall sell nothing but essence of peppermint ? The house is open to all the public, if they conduct themselves in a proper man ner ; and therefore the house ought to be permitted to supply, if the proprietors so incline, every ar ticle in the way of rational entertainment which their customers require. The present system insures the perfect responsibility of all who keep houses of public entertainment ; and beyond this, the very phrenzy of legislation could not do more. We should be very sor ry to defend any system, or any thing, that could in any way produce " crime and misery ;" but we are well assured that happiness and hilarity are the staple fruits of the present system of duly licensed houses of entertainment ; and that if a stranger in London were to have his chop in one place, his glass of ale half-a mile distant, and his wine or grog another half mile, then, we are sure that whatever of crime might be in the system, there would be plenty of misery. It was said by a wit of no meal) standing, that when ladies be came unfit for sinners, they always made capital saints; and what the wit said of she saints, appears to be true, of some, at least, of the grey-bearded old women that linger by the ruins of the late St. Stephen's Chapel.—Morning Advertiser.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—Buiti-ST.ED3tuArD's,M 4 ficm 29. REX V. PARISH OF CHILTON. Mr. Sergeant STOCKS conducted the case for the prose cution ; and Mr. KELLY appeared on behalf of the inha bitants of Chilton, to resist the attempt to fix them with the obligation to repair one-half of the road lying between it and the parish of Great Cornard. The parish of Great Cornard had from time immemorial repaired the whole of the road in question until 1811, when, under a private In closure Act, the Commissioners set out the boundary be tween the two parishes along the centre of this road, which divided them. From that time also, however, Great Cor nard continued to repair the road as heretofore, and the main question in the cause was, whether the award of the Com missioners was binding in law upon Chilton. Mr. Justice COLTMAN, being of opinion in the negative upon this point, directed some minor points to go to the Jury with regard to the serving of certain notices, rendered necessary by the General Inclosure Act. On these points the Jury were of opinion that the re quisitions of the statute had not been complied with, and accordingly returned a verdict generally against the Crown. CROWN COURT.—George Hogg and James Turner, two boys, aged 18, were charged with assaulting George Crossby, in this town, and stealing his purse and its con tents, in September last. The prisoners were both acquitted. William. Dodd, aged 16, was charged with stealing a hat from the person of Patrick Nlacintyre, a boy of 12 years. Mr. Gunning stated the case, which was remarkable for the coolness of the youthful felon. He met Master Pa trick in the streets in this town on the 31st of January last, and, civilly accosting him, the following conversation en sued : Prisoner—" Pray can you tell me the name of this street ?" Patrick—" Yes, it is Southgate-street." Pri soner—" Thank you, Sir. Pray, do you know me ?" Patrick—" No." Prisoner—" Then here's off with your hat." The prisoner, suiting the action to the word, in stantly made off with the boy's hat, while he and his bro. ther, who was with him, both stood petrified at the audacity and unexpected incivility of the polite stranger. It so hap pened, however, that his face was not one which could easily be forgotten, being most deeply scarred from the small-pox, for the prosecutor seeing him afterwards in stantly recognised him, as did also his brother. Guilty—Transportation for seven years. WESTERN CIRCUIT—LiuNcEsrox, Meilen 28. The Assizes were -postponed here, and they were rich opened until Saturday evening, in consequence of the very heavy state of business in the Nisi Prius Court. The ca lendar contained the names of but few prisoners ; and Baron Gurney being informed that the magistrates had sent a number of prisoners to be tried at the Sessions, directed that they should all be tried at the Assizes, it being the duty of the Judges to deliver the gaol. In consequence of this the calendar contains the names of no less than 49 prisoners, that number being considerably beyond that which is usual in this county. There were thirteen causes entered, five out of them Special Juries ; one of which is a second trial, and when tried before it occupied three days, and the defendant called no witnesses ; it is now expected to take four days at least, owing to the intention of the defendant to call witnesses. Business commenced yesterday morning—Mr. Baron GURNEY in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS in the Nisi Prius. Philip Corin was indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Rodds, in the parish of Gulvul. William Stumpson—l live at Penzance. On the last Saturday in July I was on Cheondown-bridge in the even ing. I saw the prisoner there that evening. I saw him take the near wheel of a cart which was standing there and throw it over. I heard'no cry when it was upset. It was close to the sea, which made a noise at the time. I saw the deceased after the cart was thrown over. He walked away with the prisener. John Smith—l found Rodds at my mother's house that night, between twelve and one o'clock. Corin was with him. He asked for a light to look for the tail of his cart. I said I could find it without. We had not got one hun dred yards when the prisoner and Rodds quarrelled, and then I went in doors. Shortly afterwards I was cailed out again by a noise. I saw the cart was overturned. The deceased was on his hands and knees about six yards off. I went to him. He said, " Never mind me, look atter the mule." Before I came out I heard some one say, " I am killed, donkey and all." They said they would go home altogether, and they got into the cart. The deceased was very tipsy. Cross-examined—The prisoner has always borne a good character. Richard Rodds—The deceased was my brother. I was called up at half-nest four o'clock in the morning. He was suffering great pain. He said to me, "My dear brother, I am a dying man." He said, " I have been murdered this night. Corin has killed me by throwing my cart over upon me," and that it came upon his stomach. Corin did it be cause he would not let him ride home with him. He said he bad craw led on his hands and knees home. On the Ist tf August, two days after the injury, he died. The Learned BARON summed up the ease to the Jury ; after which they found the prisoner Not Guilty. NO THERN CIRCUIT, lirEßroor„ ilLincif 29. numas 111`1)nniels wa3 indicted for highway robbery or the road between St. Helen's and Prescot, on the 9th of March, 1833. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence deferred. William Durkin, a respectable looking elderly person, was indicted for uttering to one Vim. Broadbent a forged acceptance for .591. knowing it to be forged. On the prisoner being taken into custody he said to Mr. Thomas, " This is is a bad business ; could it not be ar ranged in any way? If I were to pay you the amount of the bill might I not go home to my family ? I would not for a 1001. that this matter should be exposed." The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Painte-, the upholster of Finsbury, who drives an advertising machine through the town, was summoned before the LORD MAYOR for having refused to give a recompense to a boy named Joseph Jacobs, who was in jured by the upsetting of the advertisement machine. From the boy's statement, it appeared that as he was passing on the pavement over London Bridge, on Tuesday last, the advertising machine, which was of a prodigious height, was blown down upon him, to the imminent danger of life or limb. He was at the time carrying some confec tionery for sale, and he was not only hurt in. the side and neck, but his stock in trade was injured to the amount of between four and five shillings. The father of the com plainant applied for recompense for the injury, and would have been satisfied with a mere trifle, but. Mr. Painter re fused to listen to any proposition of the kind, and seemed to consider that he was quite at liberty to drive his mon strous nuisance through the streets, whether it might or might not smash people's heads. Mr. Painter's friends said that Mr. Painter bad refused, because he did not consider that he was under any obliga tion to give compensation when no injury was sustained. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the advertising machine was the van that reached almost to the two-pair of stairs windows, and an answer having been given in the affirma tive, observed that it was a most dangerous vehicle, and had more than once terrified his horses. The father of the complainant stated that Mr. Painter, on being asked for a trifling remuneration, replied indig nantly that the boy could no more expect anything of the kind, that if a chimney-pot had been blown upon his head. The Loan MAYOR expressed himself dissatisfied with the answer to the charge ; and directed that Mr. Painter himself should attend, to account for the matter ; and if that gentleman could show that he was right, no doubt the decision would operate.as an excellent, as well as a le gitimate puff. A person of very respectable appearance, named Charles Johnston, a native of Edinburgh, was charged with having tumbled about the streets at five o'clock OA Wednesday evening in a state of what the policeman who protected him called " 'dead drunkenness." There was, it appeared, a great deal of difficulty in carrying Johnston to the Compter, and the policeman and he rolled over and over in the mud until they looked as if they had been drinking as well as falling together. The gaoler said that the drunken gentleman was a cus tomer at the Compter frequently upon finishing his visits to the gin palace, and that he was uniformly introduced covered with mud and pennyless. The LORD MAYOR—As you are determined to get drunk Sir, whenever you can, I should be obliged to you to keep out of my jurisdiction. The defendant assured his Lordship then, whenever in future he should find himself going he should cut the City. The LORD MAYOR—You have got no money? Have you got any friends ?—Defendant—Not one in the world, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—You have drunk them all away ? Defendant—Exactly so, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—What a horrible infatuation. I must order a truck or a wheelbarrow to be made to pick up such filthy fellows, and roll you through the streets with your neck tied to it by a rope to keep you from fall ing.—(Great laughter.) Defendant—You may take my word this time. I shall never take a drop in the City again. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Edward Hornell, alias Thornton, was placed at the bar before Mr. MINSHULL for re-examination, charged with having assaulted and robbed a lad named William Grant Siddeman, son of Mr. Siddeman, a hosier and glover, of London-road, Southwark, in June, 1836. The prisoner declared that he knew nothing orthe transaction, and was remanded for further evidence. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Margaret Taylor, a respectably-attired fe male, about 40 years of age, was placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Margaret Sheppard, of No. 3, Little George-street, Battlebridge, with having stolen away her daughter, a fine child five years of age, and stripping her of her wearing apparel. The child stated that the prisoner took her in her arms and ran away with her, when she took off her clothes and left her. Mr. LAING remanded the prisoner. David Barnett, a Jew, was placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Henry Bryant, a gentleman residing at No. 5, Pleasant-row, Holloway, under the following extraordinary circumstances :—The prosecutor having a coat, trousers, and waistcoat, which he had recently left off, determined on taking them to a Jew, and on Tuesday morning last, being attracted by the cry of " ould do," he called the vendor and produced him the suit, which he inspected, and offered considerably less than witness asked for them, and protested " Selp his Ghot that he chood't get the prishe of 'em in Roshmerrysh-lane ;" and he was about to leave the place, when he returned again and exa mined them more minutely, when he exhibited an ea gerness, seemed to tremble, and offered nearly the sum asked for them, when he advanced the money, and, forcing them into Isis bag, hastened from the house almost breathless. Shortly after his departure it struck witness that a few days before he had received 2801., con sisting of four 501. and four 101. notes, which he had put into his private trousers' pocket, and he entirely forgot to take them out, and he imagined that he had deposited them in his drawer ; but there be could no where find them, and he could positively swear that the Jew took the property with him, and his having felt the protuberance in the pocket, and conceiving that he had a " lob," was the cause of his ultimate eagerness to make the purchase and leave the house with such breathless speed. He gave informa tion of the circumstance, and yesterday the prisoner called upon him and said he knew the Jew who had the property, and would show where he was if he was rewarded for his trouble, which witness agreed to do, and gave him into the custody of an officer. Mr. LAING—I must discharge the prisoner ; but if he knows where to find the thief I recommend him to show you where he is immediately. Prisoner—l have offered to do so. He was then discharged, and be quitted the office in com pany of some officers, promising to take them to Rosemary lane, to search out the " lucky Israelite," and hand him over to justice. The prosecutor agreed to give him 51., and the Jew 101., if the money was restored, saying he knew the numbers of the notes. THAMES-OFFICE. THE RIVAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANlES.—Yesterday Mr. W. Tisdell, the master of the Star Gravesend steam packet, applied to Mr. BRODERIP for a warrant against Fox, the master of the Diamond, a rival steamer, for wil fully and maliciously running foul of the Star, and injuring the stem of that vessel. Mr. BRODERIP knew the whole history of the violent and dangerous competition of the rival Companies. The appli cant could say anything lie pleased when the case on the Diamond warrant was heard, and if he found that Fox was actuated by the same feeling as he attributed to Tisdell, he should them both to bail, and order them to find very heavy sureties. Captain Tisdell then retired with his passengers. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday at two o'clock an inquest was held at the Sad lers' Arms, Swallow-street, Regent-street, on the body of Mr. George Vance, aged 67, a surgeon of considerable eminence, whose death and the circumstances under which it occurred have been fully detailed in this journal. The circumstance has created a most painful sensation in the medical profession. The inquest-room during the proceedings was greatly crowded. The evidence being concluded, the Coroner summed up, after which a dis cussion took place amongst the Jury, some being of opinion that the case was one which ought to be visited heavily—a most valuable life had been sacrificed. They considered a verdict of " manslaughter" would place Mr. Broadley in a situation where there would be no fear of the public suffering from his further violence. Others of the Jury objected to the verdict of Manslaughter, contend- inn that the evidence did not bear it out. Eventually a verdict was returned—" That the deceased came to his death by coming in accidental contact with Mr. Charles Broadley, who was at the time in a state of insanity, and the Jury arc of opinion that the said Mr. Charles Broadley should not in future be suffered to be at large." THE LATE FIRE IN EXETER-STREET, CHELSEA.— List night a lengthened investigation took place before Mr. Stirling, at the Sir Hans Sloane Head, Exeter-street, in the Fulham-road, on view of the remains of Mr. John Battye, aged 77, late a solicitor, who on Tuesday morning last lost his life at the destruction of the house by fire in Exeter-street, where he resided. After hearing evidence, the Jury returned for verdict—" That the deceased lost his life by fire ; but how it originated there was no evidence." Mr. Joyce was insured to the amount of twelve hun dred pounds, but it was much below the amount of his pro perty, that being stated to be near three thousand pounds. The house was insured in the Westminster, and the stock. in the County. Mrs. Baldwin had insured many years ; but for some months past she had neglected to do so. An inquest was held on Wednesday evening at the Co born Arms, Mile-end, on the body of a young lady of the name of Helen Mlria Wright, whose death had taken place under mysterious circumstances. Mr. Henry Vincent Jarman, surgeon, of Bow-terrace, Bow-road, bad known the deceased lady and her family for some years, and the most friendly intercourse had been kept up between them and his own family for some considerable time. A few weeks ago Miss Wright ad dressing him, said, that as he had been always consulted by herself and her mother when in difficulties of any sort, she then wished to consult him on a matter that was extremely important to herself. She then reverted to something that had occurred to her about ten years ago, when her connexion with a gentleman led to her pregnancy. Some time before she had renewed that acquaintance, and the consequence was that she was in the family way again, and begged his advice as to what she had best do under the circumstances. He advised her to acquaint her mo- Cher and sister (Mrs. Hay) with the circumstance, but she replied that she would rather die first, as her mother had treated her unkindly when in the same state before. He again urged her to reconsider the matter, and offered to break the thing to her mother but she said she was sure she would not survive it if he did not adopt some plan to keep it from her mother. He then told her the best thing she could do was to get her mother's per mission to go out of town for the benefit of her health, and get a medical man to attend her. She replied, that she would prefer being confined near home, and have him (witness) to attend her. He then stated to her that he knew a Mrs. M'Dowell, on Bow Common, where he thought she might go, and subsequently called on Mrs. M'Dowell, and made arrangements for her going there. He had also arranged that he should meet her (Miss Wright) in town, whichhe did, and took her to Bow Common in a coach. He attended her in her confinement in nine days afterwards, when she gave birth to a male infant, who was still living, and she was going on very well until seized by shivering fits, which continued at intervals till her death. He felt it necessary to call in Dr. Conquest, who saw her twice ; the last time on the evening previous to her death, when his opinion of her was favourable, and he said he con sidered she would be much better on the following day. Had his opinion not been favourable, it was his (Mr. Jar man's) intention to send for the friends of the deceased, whether she wished it or not. She died at a quarter past three on the following morning, from the effects of fever, to which women are subject after confinement, and not from any other cause. He was present at the time of her death. The jury-room was cleared of strangers about seven o'clock, and the Jury, after being locked up until eight o'clock on the following (yesterday) morning, returned a verdict of " Natural death." Higher mountains there are, by a couple of thousand feet, in Switzerland than are to be found in the Pyrenees ; but they are neither numerous, nor situated together. Thus in the district in Switzerland which contains the greatest number of high summits—the Oberland Bernois—six mountains, ranging from ten to twelve thousand feet in height, are to be found ; whilst in a similar extent of Pyrenean scenery, twenty-one mountains, varying from ten to eleven thousand feet in height, may be seen and counted from various points of the department in which we now were. The Swiss scenery may be called an aristocracy of mountains—the Pyrenean, a republic ; in the former, a few isolated summits domineer far above the others ; in the latter, they are more upon an equality.—Summer in the Pyrenees. • - - TnuTHs.—The many are sacrificed to the few ; ninety-nine in a hundred are occupied in a continual struggle for the preservation of a perilous and precarious existence, while the remaining one wallows in all the redundancies of luxury that can be wrung from their labonrs and privations. Luxury and liberty are incompatible ; and every new want you invent for civilised man is a new instrument of torture for him who cannot indulge in it.—Headlong Hall. On Saturday last a waggoner, named William White, employed at Mr. Rutherford's stone-quarry, Stone edge, was loading his waggon ' when his thumb got entangled in the wheels of the crane, and was completely severed from his hand. The man, with the most perfect nonchalance, picked up the shattered fragment, and exclaimed, " Whoy, I dow declare if it hasn't ta'en my thumb off."- He coolly re placed the dismembered joint and bound it firmly to the stump. The parts are now adhering.—Derbyshire Courier. SPORTIN IGENCE TAT TERSALL' S— YESTERDA r. THE DERBY. There was so much sparring about the favourites that it was not until past five o'clock that a blow was struck, or thmt we were enabled to ascertain the feelings with respect to Je— reed, whose decline on Monday excited so much cbagrim amongst his friends. Bto 1 was offered repeatedly till near six o'clock, when some one nibbled, and at last 7 to 1 was: taken freely, so that there is nothing very seriously the matter after all. Benedict is a shade better, and Brother to Bay Middleton a trifle behind Monday's quotation. Several par— ties attempted to get on about Mango, but the layers of odds, as in Benedict's case, are so amazingly shy that they were fain to content themselves with 11 to 1 ; and even these odds were not obtainable at the finish. Rococo rose to 25 to 1, but was not backed that we observed. The closing prices were as Follow :- 6 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's lot—taken 7 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Jerecd—taken 9 to 1 agst Captain Gardner'S Benedict—taken 9 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Bro. to Bay Middleton—take 11 tol 11 to l agst Mr. Greville's Mango—taken 15 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's Alahometan—taken 25 to 1 agst Sir M.

Conrad then took the lead, and kept it, Jerry coning in second, and Spicey third. Beanstalk fell at the brook, and never recovered his - place. Jerry was the favourite, at about 21 to 1, Yellow Dwarf next in call, and then Spicey.
