tiered nearly perfect, and that the greatest ad vantages, as respects the collection of the revenue, the giving facilities to commerce, and the se. curity of the property of the merchants, have been derived from them. No matter :—the fashionable Poli;ical Economists have decided that all establishments which have been created, or are protected, by law, however excellent they may be in practice, are execrable in principle, or in theory, and therefore the Dock Companies, -.lllicit are themselves amongst the existing evi dences of the stupendous advantages to he de rived from skilful legislation, are to be deprived of the peculiar privileges to which they owed their existence, and are to enter on a race of COM. :petition pro Bono public° ! It has often occurred to us that those theorists, whose speculations are in their own estimation so well calculated to advance the interests of "the Public," would do well to state distinctly what " the Public" is.—We know of no Public, but that which is composed of the various interests and classes, and of all the indi viduals, composing the population of the country. We think that that Public is served, by every legislative measure which secures, as in the case of the West India Dock Company-, solid advantages to the State, by the certain and economical collection of the, Revenue, careful protection to the property which is the subject of the legislation, and a just remuneration to the parties by whose means these advantages to the Government and to individuals are ob tained. We thing that the interests of the Public would be best prOmoted by arrange meats which should secure to all classes and to all individuals the highest possible ad van.' tages which can be derived from a country pds sessing unlimited resources, and boundless powers of producing wealth. We believe that the pro- tection of all individuals from lost, and the encou ragement of all to well-directed exertion, would at once be the perfection of legislation, and the per fection of public happiness and prosperity. — The modern theorists are of a different opinion ; they believe, or affect to believe, that the best Way of serving the Public is to engage all the persons of whom the Public is composed, in de. strnctive and ruinous competitions with each: others and the Report of the Select Committee has been framed upon that principle, which is unfortunate ly admitted, too generally, to be correct ! It is remarkable, however, that this very Report Proves the fallacy of the assumed princtple ; for it acknowledges that many cases may arise in which it would be unwise to adhere to it, — that in this very case of the West India - Dock Company, its advantages must be consi dered as having wholly sprung from legisla tion,—and that . it (the Committee) consents to recommend the abolition of its privileges with the less reluctance, because" there is reason to believe the interests of the Proprietors will not incur any, hazard, and from the character, regulations, situ ation, and other advantages possessed by these Clocks, they are at all times sure of com manding that proportion of the commerce of the country to which they are justly entitled." —Whet, then, we may ask, is the object Proposed to be obtained by exposing them to competition g If , they are " justly entitled" to their present advantages, why not secure them in the possession of those advantages by law? The Duke of YORK arrived in town on Mon (la I night from the Lodge in Windsor-park, where his Royal Highness dined with the King. Viscount Mt LTILLE left town yesterday for Etlin burgh. TWO Commissioners from the Greek Govern ment, whose, names are MM. ORLANDO and ZAIHT, accompanied by . Mr. LuItTOTTI, have arrived in this country for the purpose of nego. dieting a loan. The Board of Trade has, it is understood, given an answer to the Memorial of the London Ship.owners, but those' at the Out-ports have not it seems been generally apprized of its tendency and effect. The total amount of the force of the French' army in Spain, including the fourth corps, wars estimated on the 15th of August at—lnfantry, 66,160 ; cavalry,' 9,200 ; total, 75,360. The sick and wounded are stated to be 9,140. A Letter. from Frankfort says, the house of RoTnsomn has just given away in gratuities, to the Employes in its different Counting-houses, the sum of 1 50,000 francs (about 6,0001. sterling,) on account of its last successful operation in the French Rentes. The net benefit derived by the house in question, in this particular transaction, is estimated at upwards of four millions of francs, (160,0001. sterling.) The weather in Northumberland continues favourable for the harvest. In the course of another week reaping will be very general. A farmer at Kirkwhelpington finished his harvest of Barley last week. The crop was a most abundant one, about 40 bolls, or 10 quarters Winchester, per acre.— Corn is cut in several places, and, as far as appearances go, the Grain is bulky and in fine condition. In this state of things. it is natural that the Corn Market should continue de pressed. Hence the extreme dulness and decline of prices that prevailed in our Market to-day.—( New Crutte, 6th S.lptent.

CAUTION.—It has been frequently the prac tice of some despicable persons to solicit admis sions to public places in the name of the Conductors of Public Journals. Such an application, pur porting to come from the Editor of THE SUN, was addressed on Monday last to the Gentlemen . who superintend the concerns of Vauxhall Car dens, but was frustrated by a Gentleman who happened to be present, and knew the writing to b e a f or gery. This imposition is doubtless car ried on in the names of most of the Editors of Public Journals. But this is not ail, for persons who affect to come from advertisers, apply for the use of the tiskets which are given to the Editors, by the Managers of the Theatres and other Public Places. We hope that the agents o f th ese con temptible artifices will be discovered and their names be properly exposed.

Two French- men, who - follow in this city the honourable occupation of barber, went into the house in question, and successively or dered two bottles of porter. In an evil moment their eyes were attracted by a cupboard, which they ventured to force open ; and finding in it six , bottles of good Madeira, they deliberately proceeded to discuss two of them. There was also a large pot of jellp—most tempting to the .sight.—which without the aid of spoons they somehow managed to devour. ,The female waiter of the house, thinking that they were con suming a most unreasonable time over a bottle of poter, entered the room upon Some . frivolous pretence, when a sad spectacle presented itself. The two Frenchmen were stretched insensible upon the floor: and their mustachios and eye-brows (in con sequence of their attack upon the jelly-Twit) teemed absolutely dripping with gore. It at once occurred to her that there was manslaughter in the case ; upon which the tender-hearted clam set reified one of the lengthened howls so , customary upon such occasions. This brought the landlord into the . room, who, judging from the state of the cupboard, soon came to glioss the true cause of the melancholy catastrophe. With much. ado he etiocecaled in rousing from his lethargy one of the French. men, - who, starting, to his feet, discharged a dreadful volley of curses, curses, half French and half English, 'et the landlord, ee l ., 41—d rattne ; and, brandishing his curling-I ronrt, declared that he would give him von, tn.°, tree stabs on de skull, it' hapresunied to lay hands on him. The hallucination of the other was more - complete ; far, having been set upon h i s legs by a couple of watchmen, be yawned and rolled h is e y es about in a most distracted mariner ; and supposing him s e lf to be in his own bed-room, he complained bitterly of being depri ve d Of hi s natural rest, and swore that he would g o t o no Po lish Offish until ha had got van itoad Orcakj'ast in his Fell!). A flee a stubborn ro aistance, which led to the demolition of sundr y l anterns, the two wights were lodged in the 'watch-house ; and next day were presented at the bur of the Police Court, upon a ch arge of t h e f t. Upon the indictment being read ov er, he of the curlin g irons shrugged up his shoulders till the y we re on a line with the crown of his head, and extending his ha nds at the same time like the fins of ch expiring turtle, he exclaimed, 4 , My fiat ! m e, who had the 110)10Ur tO serve Le (*rand Na• poleon—me von thief ! 0 no, noeno !"

STEPNEY FAIR. LAMTIETH-STREET.--It will doubtless he fresh in the recollection of our readera that, some few months back, the proprietors of certain land in the Manor of Sttpney at. tended at a Petty Sessions then holden at this Office, to show hy what authority they held a Fair there at Easter .anti Whitsuntide ; and that the parties then having reason to believe that the said Fairs were chartered, entered into the necessary recognizences .to answer to any proceedings which his Majesty's Attorney-General might think proper to. in stitute against them ; they, however, ' afterwanbi, being' un. able to produce either Charter of Prescription authotio. ing the holding of such Fairs ultimately declined prosecuting the case any further, and withdrew their reiognisances. The consequence was, that the Fair which. was to have been sub sequently held at the usual time was effectually abolished by order of the Magistrates. Notwithstanding these *mod ings, large placards „ bearing the name of A. J. Chemberi, one of the renters of the land on which the Fairs used to be held, have been . posted up iii various parts of the Tower Hamlets, announcing that a Fair, pretended to be a chartered one, will be, holden at Stepney, on the 29th instant, being Michaelmas Day. It is repor . ted that a chiller from King Johtt can be now produced, autitonsing the holding of this Fair. Even allowing such to be the case, it is not in the recollertion of the oldest inhabitant in the neighbourhood that tiny Fair was held, there on Michaelmas Day. The Magistratee of thie Off ea being of opinion that the holding of any such Fair on that day is alto. gether and wholly unauthorised and illegal, having caused bills to be distributed throughout the Metropolis, giving notice, that in the event of any attempt being made to hold such Fair; either on the premises of Mr. A. J. Climbers (the person referred to in the placards above alluded to), or elsewhere, Within the parish or manor of Stepney, such of the existing' laws relating to tin:, lawful assemblies, common stage-players, keepers of bboths for sale of liquors without licence, musical or other entertainments without lawful authority, &c. as may apply to the case, will be rigidly enforced against all offenders.
