SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. On Saturday we presented our readers with a - report of the proceedings at a dinner given a few clays since by the Reformers of North Cheshire, to Mr. J. E. S'anley, Member for that division of the county. The Hon. Gentleman made a long and able speech in re turning thanks for the honour done him in drinking his health. It was also a firm and uncompromising, though temperate address, and is well calculated to ad vance the popular cause at the present moment. The picture which the Hon. Gentleman drew of the Tories of the past, as well as of the present day, was by no means a flattering one ; but the likeness, on that ac cuint, is so much the more faithful. He showed that, notwitlistainic , all their loud protestations of devoted and c xcliesive loyalty, the Tories of a former day had leagued themselves tobetheF as if by some freemasonry sort of oath to exclude from the throne of these realms the Ilouse of Hanover. And we have seen certain indications of late, which would justify the conclusion that there are persons calling themselves Conservatives, and occupying 'a prominent place among that party, who would have no objection to see certain clvinges occur in some existing dynasties to which we will not particularly refer. For the sake of the country, how ever, and that the mask in which the Tories appear may be taken off their faces, we give one of the dashes of Mr. 'Stanley's pencil in his portraiture of that party. He says: — At no time were they more united, or more determined io their union and their purposes, than they were in their endeavour to dethrone the present Royal Family, when the Whigs held the reins of administration, on the accession of the House of Hanover to the throne of these realms. Then, as now, the Whigs were as bitterly reviled by a majority of the aristocracy and of the clergy ; then, as now, the Whigs, confident of the cordial support of the Cipwn, and relying on the good sense and public spirit of the great towns, de feated the Tories. Nor are we warranted in the supposi tion that the Tories are more scrupulous now than for merly. Their transition from passive obedience to rebel lion was nothing to them, nor will it be greater trouble to these convenient politicians to renounce despotism for radi calism, in the first instance, in order to exchange radicalism for despotism, as an ulterior and eventual measure. There were no means to which the Tories of that day did not re sort, in order to expel the House of Hanover, and to re store the Stuarts, with all the evils to which that restora tion must inevitably have given rise ; and, it may in reason be expected, that the Tories of our day will be equally in different as to the means of which they avail themselves for the attainment of their purpose—a resumption of that power of which public opinion has happily deprived them." " Behold the picture, is it like ?" Even the To ries themselves will hardly venture to question its fide lity. And yet these are the men who, as they pretend to all the religion in the country, arrogate to them selves the exclusive possession of all the loyalty to be found in the empire. Mr. Stanley next proceeds to bring home to the Tories the charge of the grossest inconsistency or the rankest hypocrisy. They may prefer which they please. He. triumphantly enume rates particular measures of great importance which they had pledged themselves to resist while they them selves continued to exist as a party ; and yet after wards, in order to preserve their places in Downing street, either passed those very measures, or intimated their readiness to do so should they be suffered to re main in power. The peroration of Mr: Stanley's speech is full of sound sense, and points out to the people and the Legislature an enlightened course in the Impending struggle between the Liberals and the Tories. He says : " It has been the fashion of late with some people— friends to the cause of Reform—to imagine, in the exube rance of their zeal, that Reform would be advanced by the temporary admission of the Tories to office—trusting to a speedy ejection of that party, and a resurrection of ardent Reformers in the full plenitude of power and place, enabled to sweep down all opposition in the way of the attainment of the objects they have in view. But, gentle men, let me remind you that this experiment may be dan gerous ; and it is easier to keep them out now that they are out, than to turn them out after they are in ; and al though it is quite certain the spirit of the people would not endure the continuance of the Tories at the helm of the State, yet the getting rid of them might entail more evil on the country than a prudent man should consent to see inflicted. This subject reminds me of a debate in the reign of Charles the Second on a Bill for the exclusion of the Duke of York from the throne. A Member argued, in favour of his suceession, that if they did not like him, they could easily get rid of him ; to which another Mem ber replied— I hear a lion in the lobby roar ; Say, Mr. Speaker, shall I bar the doer And keep him out ?—or shall I let him in, To see if we can turn him out again." —and as I think the Tories as dangerous as the lion, I do not wish to run any risk for the sake of doing that which is already done." We arc among those who have no fears as to the eventual consequences of another incursion, on the part of the Tories, into Downing-street ; but the im mediate effects of such an advent might be very inju rious to the country. We, therefore, concur with the Hon. Gentleman in the opinion that the wiser and better way is to keep the Tories out of office while they arc out. If they ever do get in again, it certainly will not be from any want of efforts on our part for their perpetual exclusion.—Morning Advertiser. We insert a letter signed " Cotswold," detailing some particulars of the different modes of manage ment of Tory and Whig estates. The Tories, it is said, insist on their tenants voting according to in structions from them. The Whigs, on the other hand, do not interfere at all with their tenants. So far so good. Rut the Whigs arc above troubling themselves with the doings of their Tory stewards; and three cases are cited in East Gloucester of three adjoining estates belonging to Whig landlords, renting 20,0001. a year, abandoned to Tory stewards, who, in case of a contested election, would have intimidated every tenant, and compelled him to vote for Tories ! Morning Chroultle. Our Irish letter in this day's Times is worth read ing, were it only for the fresh proof it brings of the perfect tranquillity which reigns in Ireland, and of the non-existence of any disaffected association in that country, now that the poor Orangemen have been so long dissolved ! The Queen's County is the happy scene of this new tribute to the pacificating genius of Lord Mulgrave. The murderous outrage was com mitted on two inoffensive men, of whom one was a Protestant, returning home quietly from the market of Mountrath, when three ruffians rushed upon them from behind a hedge—asked them, " Are you a Whitefoot now ? "—flung stones at them, one of which struck the forehead of him whose name was Quearney, and after running a few yards, the unfortunate man ex pired. One of the murderers has since been recog nized by the wife of his victim, and lodged in Mary borough gaol. The Tipperarli Constit u ti on o f t h e 24th instant is rich in such' evidences of " tran quillity." On the night of the 21st instant three policemen had arrested a f-2:101N chqr , -red with at tacking a house in the neighhourood of the Do nas _ Leigh station. The surroundMg peasantry soon as sembled in full savagery, and began the work so characteristic of a tranquil and law-governed country —viz. that of rescuing the handcuffed prisoner freett Justice. The policemen, pressed by number., took re fuge in a house, a hich they began to barricade, and vii the mob attempting fruitlessly to break in, the raptured villain bellowed ti them to burn down the house, for that he weell willingly lose his life for the sake of having tile )(Ake burned along with hi m . :I'he house !Aceordinglyl bt of t h e roof was fire to, and on the fall ii'Q their heads, the policemen were obliged to leave it ; when what in Popish Ireland is tailed a " fight" ensued, an Irish fight being the on o of the 0 ..,usands against one, two, or three indi viduals--the more helpless the the intended mulls the bctot, inasmuch as courage of the assailants is so tiluch the livelier, and their victory the surer, if not altogether the more glorious. Well, there was one Niireioan knocked down, and his head cut cruelly With a spade by the " finest peasantry in the world," 011ie one of the brutal rabble was shot dead, and two other; carried away wounded by the police. Not far from the scene of that intended massacre a man was butchered by a numerous gang of potatoe diggers, who battered the poor creatures skull to pieces with their spades, within two miles of the same police station of Donaskeigh. A quantity amounting to . between 40 and 601 b. of gunpowder was blundered from the quarrymen of Cappawhite and Duu its drum—a proceed ing which will contribute share, no doubt, to the sum-total of " Irish tranquillity , throughout winter. Within two the en suingo miles of Fethardr in the same county, two young men, of the name of Walshe, returning to their homes last Sunday week were way laid by a couple of barbarians, who unmercifully frac tured the skull of one of them, who has since died, and his brother is ill imminent danger. Yesterday se'nnight the house of a woman named Moylan, who sold spirits without license, commonly call e d a s h e b een .. house, was thrown down; but a more n o ti cea ble fact in relation to that hovel is, that it was the scene of a savage assassination on the 9th instant, when a poor man, of the name of Flanney, was murdered, on his return from the fair of Roscrea, and although there were. seven or eight persons present when the unfor tunate man's 1)1 od was spilt, and his destroyer well known among them, nether witness nor prosecu tor is to be forthcoming ! So that when the Lenined •~ Judge, at calendar time, has to lecture the Grand Jury, further negative grounds will not be wanting for a so lemn congratulation upon the disappearance of crime and the growth of national prosperity. When will this system of atrocious humbug be abandoned ? When will it be punished? For punished if it be not, the policy of the empire, as well as the administration of justice, will be everlastingly disgraced. There is ano ther letter upon our file, but a private one, which ar raigns this journal somewhat carelessly, for having too much disregarded the one grand object of a general fund for the support of Irish petitions against . Mem bers returned to the present Parliament, through error, fraud, or illegality. Our correspondent is not ju3ti ficd in bringing a charge against us, which, if true, would convict us of the grossest folly in the teeth of our known convictions, and of the most shameful treachery to our declared principles. We have re peatedly and strenuously recommended, applauded, and enforced the purposes of the Irish petition fund, which we have every reason to believe will prove ade quate to its noble aim, of redressing the serious wrongs inflicted on a very large number of the Irish constitu encies, and not on them only, but on the rights and safeguards of the entire people of Great Britain, through the usurpation of seats in the House of Commons, by men sworn to obey the mandates of one who has pledged himself to the formal dismem berment of the empire, unless he can produce, through indirect and insidious means, a change in the relations .of Great Britain and Ireland---equivalent, by reason of its destructive nature, to an actual sepa ration of the countries. " Either," says the man who has projected and executed those false returns which the petition fund is destined to overthrow, " either the open repeal of the Union, or a substantial frustration of all the useful objects of the Union—one or the other I am resolved to have. I am willing to try whether I can manage to gain the ends of repeal with out the odium or the risk of it ; if not I shall insist on repeal itself." Such is the avowed language of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. Such, unquestionably, is the plot for the success of which his nominees in the House of Commons are bound, under his guidance, to speak, to vote, and juggle. Such is the wicked ness, such the ruin, which it is and will be the honour able distinction of the fund we are proposing to avert. Neither Lords nor Commoners, be it recollected, can with propriety subscribe for such a purpose. It rests exclusively upon the Conservatives out of doors to complete it ; and we repeat once more, that the fund is a sacred one, and the duty paramount.—Times. That the citizens of London should evince their loyalty to the person of the Queen, and their attach ment to the monarchical principle, of which the young and amiable Victoria is the august personation, by in viting her Majesty to a banquet worthy of the me tropolitan city, can excite objection on the part of none but sour ascetics, who denounce all hospitable inter course, or stern republicans, who see in the honours paid to royalty the practical condemnation of their pe culiar opinions. Great, however, is the difference between the rational expression of an honest, heartfelt loyalty, and those extravagant and over-acted demon strations of attachment which display more of the giddy spirit of fantastic flattery than the sincere and sober homage of the haart. A banquet given to the Queen of Great Britain by the first city of her empire should be upon a scale of grandeur and magnificence which would show that no considerations of paltry economy had interfered to chill the spirit of a generous hospitality. We believe that the entertainment now preparing for the Queen will, in splendour, richness, and arrangement, be worthy of the occasion. We allude to the materiel of the entertainment, the supply and disposition of which is in the best possible hands, but the personnel is quite another thing, and re quires to be more particularly noticed. The public have already been made aware that the ladies of various distinguished personages, noblemen and states men who are to be the guests at this regal-civic ban quet have not been invited. It is asked, why this ap parent want of gallantry in the civic body ; and, in deed, of that proper manly feeling which is inseparable from a due respect for the fair sex ? The reason given is, that there is not room to accommodate them. We are told, indeed, that the ladies of the Aldermen and Common Councilmen will, according to a custom never departed from, take their seats in the Hall. The same authority states, " We believe, too, that a few other ladies will be among the guests, although it is perfectly true that no invitations have been sent to the ladies of Foreign Ambassadors, or of the Noblemen who are to have the honour of being present at the entertainment." When we read such a statement as this, put fcrth by an avowed apologist for the Corpo ration, we blush for the politeness and chivalry of the citizens of London in the nineteenth century. What ! shall it be said in foreign countries that the ladies of Ambassadors and other distinguished personages were excluded from a festive scene which their presence would have so highly graced and ornamented, on the alleged plea of a want of room, N\ hile the Members of the Common Council take their scats at the tables, and genercusly bestow their hospitality on themselves ? Would it, we ask, be derogatory to them to be present as stewards, instead of occupying scats at the tables, to the exclusion of the ladies of their distinguished guests? On the contrary, it would be creditable to them, in more than one respect, to attend in the capacity of stewards upon their illustrious visitors, thus making room for a number of ladies—some of them strangers in England—all of them such as would heighten the attractions of a banquet given in honour of a maiden Queen. By acting the part which we suggest, the Common Councilmen would remove the objection as to want of room, and evince their politeness and gal lantry in a way that would be creditable to the national character. We confess we are anxious that our character as Englishmen should not suffer si this ban quet 11- 1 , any exhibition of that gross selfishness which 'would make the members of the civic body study their own personal gratificatirm to the exclusion of the greatest charm of the hospitable board—the fair scx. Another topic connected with this dinner ought to be noticed—it is the attempt whic:. is making to have a general illumination, which we regard as extravagant and absurd, and likely to be highly mischievous. It has even been proposed to light up the dome of St. Paul's, though, perhaps, the result of that cxperi , went might be to burn that glorious edifice to the ground. Why an illumination at all ? Let the streets be well lighted, and that is all the light that will be required on the outside of the houses. It has been calculated that it would cost from 100,000/. to 150,000/. to illuminate the metropolis. Wily should such a sum of money be expended on the glitter and smoke of an illumination, which only serves to put the streets in possession of disorderly and riotous mobs, thieves, and vagabonds, to the exclusion or in jury of all respectable and well-disposed people ? But who arc they who are most desirous of uselessly squan dering vast sums of money in getting up a public nuisance? They are the very class of persons who used to accuse the Tory party in the Corporation of the most wanton and senseless extravagance, in having lavished large sums upon similar rejoicings when George IV., then Prince Regent, and the allied Sovereigns, dined with the Corporation. These are the men who now propose th a t, f or th e merci lighting up of Temple-bar, 4001. out of the civic funds should be expended. They had better have that fine specimen of the architectural talents of Sir Christopher Wren well cleaned, so that it might look well in the light of day, instead of dis gracing the city by the sooty and dingy appearance of neglect and decay which it now presents. Half the money proposed to be laid out in smoking it with oil lamps would restore it to its pristine beauty, and the remainder of the 4001. could not be better disposed of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 18 than as a donation to some charity— to th:.: " Victoria Almshouses," for instance, which are proposed to be founded, as a 'solid and beneficent memorial of her Ma jesty's visit, and which might be amply endowed by appropriating to that purpose a sm::11 portion of the money intended to be foolisli t ly squandered upon a ge neral illumination.—Mornilig chester, that is consistent with your present answer?—l tell you I did not get it for your support-1 did,it for the sup port of Mr. Mayhew. "` You were understood to,sny that when you wrote to the Treasury to counsel money to be sent .down to promote the - cause of Reform, yours was a distinct application on the part of Mr. Mayhew, to Mr. Harvey's exclusion ? Not to his. exclusion, but my application was for Mr. Mayhew. "‘ As distinct from Mr. Harvey ?—I (lid not say to Mr. Harvey's exclusion ; but on Mr. Matthew's account it was that I made the application, and not on Mr: Harvey's. " By. the Committce—Did your Lordship at the elec tion exert yourself 'on public political grounds to assist in procuring the return of Mr. Harvey as well as the other gentleman, he being a Reform candidate?—No, 1 did not. The gr;at- battle was for Mr. Miyhem Ile was the per son in - danger. "` He was not returned • ?—Yes, he was. As the moment approaches for the meeting of Par liament the curiosity of the public becomes daily more intense as to the course which the Whig-Radical party will pursue. The suspicion has become general that, with respect to one very important class of subject 3, they will adopt the ordinary resource of conscious fee bleness and injustice, and struge,lc for debit. The sub jects to Which we allude arc those of disputed returns. With resiwet to these, Ministers have determined, it is said, to put off the evil day as long as they can, and for this purpose are resolved to propose the postpone ment of the trial of all disputed elections until after Christmas. It is particularly desirable, therefore, that all the Conservative Members should be in their places at the opening of the Session. A full and con stant attendance on this occasion is of greater practical importance than is generally supposed. A defective muster of Conservative Members would give Minis ters courage to propose some course of proceeding to re tard, if not to prevent, the purification of the House Commons, by the ejection of Members impro perly and illegally returned. The importance of put ting the disputed elections into an immediate course of investigation is too evident to require that we should point it out. And we are the more sparing in our admonitions upon this subject that the anxiety of the Ministerial faction for postponement instructs Con servatives what they ought to do much more clearly and authoritatively than any language that could pro ceed from us. We earnestly implore every Conserva tive Member of the House of Commons, however, to be at his post regularly and constantly during at least the first month of the Session. During that period they will have to defeat the Ministerial project for post poning the trial of the election returns ; and during that period also, if they should succeed in defeating the Ministerial project of postponement, the election Committees will have to be struck. These two motives for early and punctual attendance should alone be sufficient to bring every Conservative Mem ber of the House of Commons to his post on the first day of the Session, without the further and more powerful consideration that it is his duty to take care lest the Civil List of the Sovereign during a reign which every Englishman reasonably hopes, and ardently desires, may be a long one, should be incon veniently and disrespectfully reduced, by the present Ministers, in their too eager desire of popularity ; or extravagantly enhanced, in their sycophantic and mis taken eagerness to propitiate the favour of their Royal Mistress. Every imaginable inducement conspires, indeed, to impress upon the Conservative Members of the House of Commons the • necessity of a full and steady attendance of their whole body at the com mencement of the session. It is to the election peti tions, however, that we would chiefly direct the atten tion, not of Members of Parliament only, but of the whole British community, -within doors and without. Tbis is the ground upon which the main conflict of the early part of the session will take place. The practical questions to be decided by this conflict are two, and both are of the utmost importance ;one of these questions is in effect which of the two parties in the State, the Conservatives or the Destructives, shall have with them a majority of the present House of Commons ; the other, morally and politically of still greater and more enduring interest, is, whether intimi dation, perjury, and corruption shall henceforh have unbridled sway in the election of Members of the Legislature. The partisans of Ministers have by their conduct and language during the recess enabled us to guess with sufficient confidence what will be the tactics of their leaders at the commencement of the Session. Every possible obstruction, it is clear, will be thrown in the way of such investigations as seem likely to lead to a diminution of the feeble and pre carious Ministerial majority. Never was there an occa sion on which ample funds for the prosecution of elec tion petitions were so much needed as on the present, when the very existence of the Government depends on the maintenance of elections effected by violence, intimidation, or corruption. This it is which has induced us from the first to applaud and promote the Irish Election Petition Fund. The object which this fund has in view is in the strictest sense national, and the country will do less than justice to itself if the subscription should not be in the strictest sense na tional also. For purposes which can scarcely be mis understood an outcry has been. raised against this im portant and valuable subscription, as if the conduct and object of its promoters were illegal or unconstitutional. We have heard and believe that some persons of ex traordinary weak nerves have withheld their mite from the fund, from an apprehension that it is not strictly within the spirit of the law and Constitution. We must remind such feeble-minded persons that the ene mies with whom they have to contendact with infinitely less cf scruple. They not only encourage subscrip tions for electioneering purposes, but upon any great emergency they do not hesitate to permit their Secretary of the Treasury to be the distributor of the fund, so that the subscription fund to promote the election of Whig- Radicals, and the SecretServiceMoney at the disposal of Government, may be blended in such manner as to defy the possibility of separation. The famous case of Mr. Ellice and the Colchester election can scarcely yet have been forgotten. The facts came out, as our readers will recollect, in the-course of an inquiry by a Committee of the House of Commons as to the con duct and character of Mr. D. W. Harvey, who had been, and is still, so far as we know, excluded from one of the Inns of Court. The Committee thought the matter relating to Mr. Ellice of so much importance that it made it the subject of a special report to the House, which we here extract from Hansard's Par liamentary Debates : "COLCHESTER ELECTION—ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. " And for that purpose the five hundred pounds were advanced by the Secretaty of the Treasury for the pur 7 poses of the election ?—Yesf " After a short conversation as to the mode of proceed ing, it was understood that Mr. O'Connell was to make a motion on the subject whenever Mr. Ellice should be in the House. The report was ordered to be laid on the table." The evidence of Lord We'stern distinctly accuses Mr. E. Ellice, the Secretary of the Treasury, of having paid money from the Treasury to promote the election of a particular candidate at a contested election. Whether this accusation were true or untrue it is not, now necessary to inquire; but we may observe in passing that Lord Western, who had had much to do with the transaction, was not a very likely person to make an unfavourable and unjust representation of the proceed ings of Mr. E. Ellice. And what was Mr. Ellice's explanation ? It is this explanation and the manner of its reception by the House of Commons which touches the question of constitutional law as respects the Irivh Election Petition Fund. Mr. E. Ellice, the Secretary of the Treasury, admitted that he had paid 5001. towards the electioneering expenses of a Mr. Mayhew, a candidate for Colchester, in conjunction with Mr. D. W. Harvey. But he vindicatod himself from the imputation of having paid this money from the Treasury by the assertion (an assertion, by the way, in confirmation of which no tittle of evidence was ever produced from that time to the present), that the money was part of a subscription fund, created with the view of aiding and assisting the election of Reform Members. Subscription funds for electioneering pur poses were at that moment in great favour with all the Reform Ministers, and all their adherents. The mere unsupported assertion of Mr. Ellice, that he had acted as the agent for the distribution of such a fund, was .deemed in that clay so great a merit as completely to exonerate the Right Hon. Gentleman froth censure on account of his having handed over 5001. to Lord (then, we believe, Mr.) Western at the Treasury, and in circumstances which led the latter to believe, and state before a Committee of the House of Commons, that the sum of money was advanced by Mr. Ellice in his official character as Secretary to the Treasury. Upon this mere allegation Lord Althorp said thatins Right Hon. Friend had done nothing but what was quite correct and commendable. Mr. Spring Rice said the same thing. Lord John Russell said the same. Mr. C. Buller was so enraptured with the conduct of his friend the Secretary of the Treasury, who had kindly mixed up his official duties with the distribution of a joint-stock electioneering fund, that, upon the strength of it, he claimed for the latter the title of a second Scipio Africanus, a nickname which the Right Hon. Gentleman will probably carry with him to the grave. The small men of the party concurred in the motion exculpating Mr. Ellice with wonderful unanimity. Mr. C. Fergusson, Mr. H. Bulwer, Mr. Tennyson, Colonel Evans, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. O'Dwyer, Mr. Ruth yen, and Mr. 'Wason, severally made speeches in its favour. And the final vote, in favour of a resolu tion importing not merely that the raising and dis tribution of a subscription fund for electioneering pur poses are lawful and meritorious acts, but that they are acts of such surpassing merit that in circumstances of a most suspicious nature the mere assumption of them may well suffice to exempt a Secretary of the Treasury from suspicion—was carried in the • House of Com mons by a majority of 114 to 34. It will scarcely be pretended that it is less useful and meritorious to create a fund for the purpose of rectify;ng false returns than for that of promoting party elections. Yet this must be affirmed by those who, in the face of the above de cision of the House of Commons, insinuate a doubt as to the legal, political, or moral fitness of the sub scription to correct and purify the returns sent from Ireland at the last election.—Morning Post. " Mr. O'Connell brought up a report of the Committee appointed to consider the circumstances of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey's exclusion from one of the Inns of Court, which was read as fellows : " The Select Committee -appointed to inquire into all the circumstances attending the rejection of the claim by Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., to be called to the bar, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House, and who were empowered to report from time to time to the House, have agreed to the following report : "‘ In the- course of the examination of the Right Hon. Lord Western, the following evidence was given, which, though not immediately connected with the investigation in which the Committee is engaged, they feel it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the House without delay : " Did you not yourself write to Mr. Ellice, calling upon him as an officer connected with the Treasury, to send down a sum of money for the purpose of carrying on Mr. Harvey's election at Colchester ?—No—I wrote for it to carry on Mr. Mayhew's election at Colchester. " Do you mean to say the letter was not written to sup port Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Harvey jointly ?—Yes, it is my firm belief it was not to support them jointly ; it was the farthest from my thoughts to have done so ; it was to support Mr. Mayhew. " Your belief is strong to establish in your mind the distinction ?—Yes. " Now, in point of fact was any money sent from the Treasury to Colchester, in consequence of your letter?— Yes, I understood there was. " Can you state who the parties were who shared that money ?—No ; I .cannot state who the parties were who shared that money ; but I understood, from yourself, I think, that there was a dispute about it, and an egregious dispute, and my recollection is that it was sent for Mr. Mayhew ; I think he had three contests within a short One. "' By the Committee—How much was the money ; do you know ?—I think it was 5001. " Did Mr.:ll , laylrew and Mr. Harvey stand for the same interest ?—Yes, I believe they did stand on the same inte rest, but they were most violently hostile to each other, as I understood. By Mr. Harvey—Who were hostile ?—Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Harvey ; that is my impression. " Does your Lordship know that Mr. George Saville, of Colchester, was, at the time we have been speaking of, the treasurer of a common fund to secure the return of Mr. Mayhew and Mr. llarvey ?—No, I did not know that ; you are asking me as to matters which I say are irrelevant. My desire was that money should be deposited in Mr. George Saville's hands. Did Mr. George Saville receive a sum of money, in point of fact, at your instance ?—I believe so. " I ask you whether, if it shall appear that the sum of money which, through you influence, was obtained from the Treasury, was obtained in aid of my election at Col- GREAT TEMPERANCE MEETING. Last' Friday evening the Annual Festival of this Society took place at the Rotunda in Dublin. The Round-Room was laid out with tables, at which not less than one thou sand persons sat down to partake of " the cup that cheers but not inebriates." The company consisted of every grade, from the peer to the peasant, and from the titled lady to the wife of the weaver and the shoemaker, who have thought it their advantage to join this Society, which must be admitted to have spread to a great extent through out the country. In fact all distinctions seemed to have been levelled, and the congregated and varied mass mingledb together as if they felt that equality which morality and a union of sentiment never fail to induce. When the com pany pirtook of tea, coffee, and cakes, of various descrip tions, Mr. Justice CRAMPTON was moved to the chair amidst enthusiaitic acclamation. _ . The Learned CIIAIRMAN, amongst other remarks, said, in his opinion whiskey was the primary curse of Ireland. It was, in a word, the great cause of the chief misfortunes of Ireland. There was hardly a crime committed through out the land that would not on examination be found to be connected with drunkenness. The Secretary then came forward, and read letters of apology from several distinguished persons who could not attend, amongst whom were his Grace the Duke of Lein ster, Lord Morpetb, the Rev. Robert Daly, &c. The Se cretary then read the Report, which 'was of great length. It gave a detailed account of the successive e..tablisliment of various Temperance Societies throughout the country, and of a journal called the Temperance Gazette, which the Committee recommended to the attention of every mem ber of the Society. It appeared that the receipts of the past year was 1871. 19s. 3d., and that of the expenditure for the same period 185/. 65., and the balance in the hands of the Committee '2 1 . 13s. 3d. The Report recommended the appointment of agents, to travel throughout the coun try, for the purpose of establishing Societies, and impressing upon the minds of the people the happiness and moral im provement which must result from their formation. The Learned CHAIRMAN said he understood there were two American captains in the room ; and if they would be good enough to favour the company with a few observa tions, lie was sure they would be listened to with interest. There was a fact regarding their great country, which, per haps, was not known to all the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) The American nation had twelve hundred ships travers ing the ocean, to all parts of the globe, under the Tem perance flag. Those ships had not a drop of spirits on board, except what was in the medicine chest, and their sailors were as healthy and as hardy as those of any other c ountry.—(Cheers.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 007'. 30, IN Tlll , i MATTER OF ARTHUR JEPSON. In this case an application was made at. the rising of the Court, by Mr. Cooke, on the csirt of several creditors, for the commitment of the assignee to prison for contempt. This case presented peculiar .features; the insolvent had been discharged three times under the Act, and had re cently become entitled, on the death of his mother, to con siderable property. The assignees under the three estates had received, with costs, a sufficient sum to pay the credi tors twenty shillings in the pound ; one of the assignees had paid a few of the creditors, and had appropriated to his own use about 3001. of the trust property. The creditors had applied against him, and a rule was issued for him to show cause why he should not be committed for contempt. In the .case an important ryiestion was raised, which was reserved for the opinion of a full Court. It was whether Mr. Jepson was liable to the creditors for the defalcation of the assignee, or whether the payment to the creditor as assignee was a discharge of the cestui quc trust. Mr. Cooke called upon the Court to commit theassigme Mr. Woodroffe admitted that he bad no cause to show. The assignee had appropriated the money, but had made an offer which had not been accepted. Mr. Cooke insisted on the commitment to Horsemongcr lane Gaol. • The Court made the order accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Charles Pool, a decent looking man, was indicted for stealing a travelling bag which contained a coat, two pair of trowsers, shirts, &c., of the value of 151., the property of J. Thomas Tullet. The prosecutor arrived at his own house in Tottenham court-rOad, on the night of the 28th of September, in a hackney-coach. He was accompanied by his father and mother. The bag in question, containing the articles set forth in the indictment, was taken out of the coach, and, placed in the passage of the house. It was shortly after wards missed, and almost immediately a policeman found the prisoner with the bag in his possession. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recom mended him to mercy, in which recommendation the prose cutor joined. Two lads, named Bird and Greenwood, were indicted for stealing a mare, the property of Colonel Campbell, of Bletchingly, Surrey. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) This morning, at the opening of the Court, the trial of Messrs. Rutter and Son, which had been expected for se veral days past, was called' on, and the prisoners came to the Bar. John Rutter, the elder, and John Rutter, his son, were jointly indicted for feloniously stealing twelve sovereigns and a half sovereign, and one sixpence, the pro perty of John Peddle. After hearing evidence at length, the Jury Acquitted both the prisoners, to the evident satis faction of a crowded Court. . The defendants then left the Bar, and were greeted by a numerous body of friends. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW. STREET.

HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Polly Moriarty, a desperate woman, who has been repeatedly charged with disorderly conduct, and committed to prison by the various Magistrates of London, ‘Vas placed at the Bar, charged with creating a . disturbance and assaulting several officers of the E Mr. LAING (to Polly)—So you are here again? Polly (coolly)—Yes, an plaise your Worship. Mr. LAING (to Mr. Bennett) —This is one of the most notorious women in London. During the last ten years she has scarce been a day out of prison. Mr. BENNETT inquired why she was guarded by the of ficers whilst at the bar ? Mr. LAING said it was necessary in order to prevent her committing violence. She was not very delicate in attack ing the Magistrates, and a short time ago she flung some thing at the head of Mr. Rogers. Mr. LAING asked her what she had to say ? Polly—Sure I've got a bad name, and the officers take me for doing no thing. You had betel; hang me at once. Mr. LAING—You are fined 205., or one month's impri sonment. Polly—Why dont you commit me for the whole of my life ? I'll go to prison ; but, by the Holy Mass, when they want to send me out - I won't go for them. She was taken from the bar making use of gross language and resisting the officers. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Rebecca Kerr was yesterday brought before Mr. CHAM BERS and Mr. COURTNEY, charged with having robbed her master, Mr. Schwciso, of Soho•square, of twenty pounds, in bank notes. She was remanded for further inquiry. UNION-HALL. Yesterday William Pratt, a medical student, the son of a gentleman of fortune, living at Peckham Rye, was brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with stealing a tin box, containing leases, title deeds, and other papers of importance, the property of his father. When the night charges were disposed of, and the ease of William Pratt was called on, Mr. Pratt, sen., took - his station in the place appropriated for witnesses in giving their evidence, but, on looking towards the bar, inside which his son stood, his feelings became so 'overpowered that he burst into tears, ejaculating, " Oh, my son, you have com pelled me to do that from which my heart shrinks, but I must, for the sake of my family, go on with this pro secution." During this painful scene the prisoner stood at the bar, and treated it all with the most perfect indifference, seem ing to pay more attention to the arrangement of his hair and dress than to any feelingwhich the situation in which he was placed was calculated to excite. Mr. WEDGwooD, seeing that the father was unable to proceed in the affair, inquired whether his evidence could . not be dispensed with, and upon this a witness was called. forward, who stated that her name was Mary Ann Crisp, and that she was cook in the service of Mr. Pratt, sen. That on Sunday morning, while her master was going to Church, the prisoner, who rang the parlour bell, on her going there addressed her, saying, " Cook, there is but one thing that will keep me from distress, and that is taking possession of the tin box belonging to my father, and which contains valuable documents." Witness, in reply said, " Take everything in the house but that, as it contains papers, the loss of which might bring ruin on all the family." Ile then said that nothing else would do for him but the tin box ; that he would give his word and ho nour that he would not open the box or destroy a paper, until his father met him on the following day ; that he should take the box and its contents to his brother's re sidence, in Bond-street ; and that. on Monday morning he would meet his father, and that he would tell hint that he should not have the box and papers until he gave him 1,200/, that he wanted. On these conditions, that he . would not open the box, the witness said that she consented to la the prisoner carry off the box ; and he then went out to get a horse and chaise to take the box away, and that while he was gone she told the groom that Mr. William was going to take his father's leaSes. away. The groom, upon this information being communicated to him, imme diately went for a policeman, and the prisoner, who by this time had the tin box and its contents in the chaise at the door, was taken into custody. Mr. WEDGWOOD asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the alleged charge? The prisoner complained of ill-treatment on the part of his father ; that he had been turned out of his house pennyless : and that -it was owing to such conduct towards him that he resolved on taking the leases and titledeeds. He added that he had previously to'.d his father that he would take the box and its contents ; and, to prove it, he requested that a letter to that effect should be shown to the magistrate, to convince him of the fact, and prove that it was not his wish to act in a clandes tine manner. • The clerk having taken the depositions, he was about to read over the evidence, when Mr. Pratt stood forward, and, addressing the Magistrate, said that it was a fearful situa tion for a father to be placed in, but that if his son could be punished without being sent for trial, he (the father) would prefer it.. Mr. WEDGWOOD, in answer to it, must either discharge the accused, or commit him for trial. .The father then said that he found that he could not ap pear against his son, and requested that he might be dis charged. This having been done, the father afterwards asked what he was to do if his son repeated the attempt or annoyed him. Mr. WEDGWOOD said that he could have a peace -warrant against the young man if he found it necessary. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, Ann Lane, a smartly-attired young woman, was charged with stealing two .5/. Bank of England notes, and a sovereign and a-half, the property of her master, Mr. Peter M'Cone, of 28, George-street, Ilimpstead-road. The prisoner, who denied the robbery, was remanded, for the purpose of tleding Out, if possible, where she bed changed the notes.
