SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The eyes of the whole nation are now fixed on the county of Middlesex. The Tories are so eager to de feat Messrs. Byng and Hume, that they would con sider no price too high for the accomplishment of this object. Bribery of all sorts and intimidation have been lavishly resorted to ; and the most calumnious charges have been disseminated against the Reform candidates. But we cannot for one moment think so meanly of the understanding, the honesty, and the spirit of the electors of Middlesex as to suppose that they will suffer themselves to be shaken in their prin ciples by Tory calumnies, bribed by Tory gold, or bullied by Tory intimidation. Messrs. Byng and Hume may surely, if any men can, appeal to their lives as the best refutation of their calumniators. Mr. Byng has been 47 years in Parliament, which he en tered so far back as 1790, and he is the father of the House of Commons. He has during that long period advocated the cause of civil and religious liberty, through good report and bad report. As he has himself stated in his speeches at several meetings of late, he voted for the repeal of the disqualifying laws against the. Dissenters, at a time when many of them shrunk from the bold assertion of their own rights. But because he now consistently advocates the aboli tion of Church-rates, and wishes to obtain means for the support of the fabrics of the national Churches, from an improved management of ecclesiastical estates, he has been stigmatised as an enemy of the Church. The best refutation of this calumny is the statement that he has contributed 7,0001. towards the building of churches within these two years and a half. In North Minims he has endowed a church, and given the pa tronage of it to the diocesan. Does this show any thing like indifference to the Establishment ? They are not the true friends of the Church who wish to perpetuate a state of things which must beget discord and heartburnings in every parish. The true friend of the Church is he who, while he shows his sense of the value of its ministrations by such aid as has been af forded by Mr. Byng, seeks at the same time to disarm the hostility of those who arc not within its commu nion. The good sense of the Reformers must teach them that their utmost exertions are due to Messrs. Byng and Hume, for the very reason that the Tories — the Hanoverians—the abettors of abuse at home and abroad—the peal a .s o" Don Carlos, Don Miguelond the Inquisition, who are in love with Popery wherever Popery is associated with despotism, are now stirring heaven and earth to exclude them from Parliament. If there be a man to whom England owes a ,deep debt of gratitude, that man is Mr. Hume. His days and his nights have been devoted to the service of the people of England. Do not let the electors of Mid dlesex afford to the enemies of improvement the pre text that it is folly to serve the people, derived from the ingratitude shown to Mr. flume, who, more than any other man living, paved the way for the Reform Bill. Whenever any individual or any print forsakes the cause of the peos.le, the first fru:ts of the apostacv are the abuse of Joseph Hume, because it is well known that every Tory bears an implacable hatred to e man who tore the plunder of the nation from the party who for fifty years had been fattening on abuses. What an insult to the common sense of the electors of Middlesex is such vulgar and bestial abuse as that in the Times of yesterday, levelled at Mr. Hume :—" His daring to show himself at all before the coostuency is an ,ffensive indecorum. The names of every one of the petty demagogue voters on this occasion ought at once to be made public, as thoseof all who may have jor/L:teel their engagements to Messrs. Wool and Poo nail unquestionably will Le printed and circalaled through every county in the realm. Such is the just reward of falsehood and rightful incentive to political disho nour." We are no advocates of brickb3ts and blud geons, and would not wish to see tire writer of this piece of blackguardism subjected to the treatment which he recommended against others ; but surely many a person has become acquainted with the flavour of rotten eggs who has not half so much merited the reward as this apostate scribbler. What we should think ought to be much more dreaded by any elector of Middlesex than the publication of his vote in favour of the Reform candidate would be tha publication of his shame or his stupidity in voting for Messrs. Wood and Pownall. We have seen letters from in tilnential Tories, written to Reformers, to shake their purpos e of voting for Messrs. Byng and Hume, which, if we arc not mistaksn, will bring the writers before the House of Commons. The Tories make a handle of everything against the Reformers. They seek, for instance, to prejudice the more ignorant voters against Ministers, and all who support them, on account of the new Poor-law ; but we regret to, say that in too many instances they avail themselves of the clause in the Act allowing voting by proxy, to make appointments under the guardians dependent on the support given to Tory candidates. We have evidence on that subject in the case of the supporters of Messrs. Wood and Pownall, respecting which there can be no mistake, and to which we may allude more particularly hereafter. But we are greatly mistaken if the men of Middlesex are to be influenced by such means. They will, on the contrary, only be the more determined to r ecor d t h e i r votes i n , support of Messrs. Byng and Hume. Let not Middlesex be disgraced by being represented by two Tories. No time is to be lost. We almost regret that we are occupying the attention of electors by reading even these few lines, at a time when energy and promptitude are so necessary. —Morning Chronicle. The polling for Middlesex commences this day, and will finish to-morrow—and, we hope, in the return of Byng, the father of the House of Commons, and the patron of all charities—and of Joseph Flume, the friend of the people—the stern antagonist of abuse in Church and State—first reformer of financial imposition in the House of Commons—the exposer of all green-bag conspiracies—the detector of Oliver and Castle, as well as other Tory spies, who bartered their names and reputation, and honesty for filthy lucre. We say that we hope that these two gentlemen will be returned, because we know of no two men who so amply deserve the confidence of the reople. Mr. Byng has been a Reformer during the last 37 years, and we challenge any one to point out a vote which he has given which has militated against the cause of the people. His grey hairs, now covered with a glory of consistency which no other man, except Lord Grey, can boast, must command the admiration and support of every liberal voter, while, with regard to Mr. Hume, we put the plain question—who has laboured so hard— who has been so early and so late in the field—whose fingers have touched the loaves and fishes of official patronage to so small an extent as those of Mr. Hume? The Tories, to do them justice, are active persons— but they are at the same time egregious impostors. Their agents have been endeavouring to .detach those Licensed Victuallers who have votes for Middlesex from the interest of Messrs. Byng and flume, by re presenting them as their enemies—but their efforts have been vain—the trick has completely failed; and this day's poll, if we are not misinformed, will confirm the fact. Messrs. flume and Byng are not only staunch, but declared supporters of the Licensed Vic tuallers. Their sentiments are on record, and cannot therefore be mistaken. That they will act up to them there can be no doubt ; for who has ever found them inconsistent with themselves ? Liberal electors of Middlesex ! to poll ! and this day without loss of time. YOUR QUEEN EXPECTS YOU TO DO YOUR DUTY ! Your country calls upon you ! Principle is your guide ! Peace, and honour, and tranquillity, and reform, wait upon your efforts !—. Morning Advertiser. Never were there two contrasts of the kind placed so closely side by side as the electors for East Surrey and the borough of Southwark. Every one knows that Southwark is in East Surrey, and that a great many of the freeholders reside in the borough ; yet whil e 'the borough has returned two Radicals to Parliament with scarcely the shadow of a contest, the county has re jected two respectable Whig-Radicals with di s d a i n , and afford in the persons of . (.,laptain Alsager and Mr. Kemple, the most signal and unequivocal triumph of Cmslikvivistn and of re-action, of the many which have occ . itgaP/We shall be told, we know, that this _-. 4"eeTlatTT* rout by the influence of landlords - -Vver' Om ititis,.._4ild - • shall have Mr. Grote's cuckoo (et to of the tAloili ught forward to show that by its C (Ache result at4i _ ve been reversed. The idea that p:rp_iii - th tenants of'" 1. a-year and upwards arc not as (4, ~: `~. c ~~ competent to exercise the elective franchise freely as 101. rack-renters of St. Giles's, the Mint, the Clink Li berty, and Maze-pond, is a fallacy which, though constantly resorted to by the Radicals, is not the less palpable and egregious. ,The truth is, those con sistent friends of liberty, the authors of the Reform Act, fully intended to disfranchise the great body of yeomanry of England. In this, thanks to the patriotism and vigilance of the farmer's friend, Lord Chandos, they were completely defeated ; but that defeat gnaws, like a canker-worm at the heart, exhibiting its morbid effects whenever and wherever an opportunity presents itself. But it so happens that, as regards East Surrey, there is no county in the kingdom to which such an objection, if applicable any where, can less attach. From its contiguity to the metropolis the constituency is more equally divided than anywhere else, and few if any large properties where landlords could influence a nume rous tenantry, are known to exist in that district. Of the seven polling-places, all, except two ; (those at Croydon and Reigate), are in the suburbs of the me tropolis ; yet, in the late contest, in every district, ex cept two, those of Bermondsey and Reigate, the ma jorities in favour of the Conservative candidates were alike decisive, the rural and town districts scarcely varying a shadow in proportion from each other. Well, indeed, then, may the inhabitants of East Sur rey congratulate themselves on this splendid achieve ment—on the result of this weal-fought battle. May its influence spread like wild-fire throughout the coun try, teaching those who are engaged in the pending contests how easily victory follows upon sound princi ples if union and energy are only to be found, as in this case, steadily acting at the helm.— Morning Herald. Nothing can he more satisfactory to the friends of the Constitution than the progress of the county elec tions. Hitherto, with the equivocal exception of West Sussex, the Conservatives have won everything that they have attempted. It may indeed be lamented in many instances that their attempts have been narrowed so far within the limits of the influence and power which they have been enabled to manifest. We be lieve that, with very few exceptions, they might have commanded the county representation of all Eng land. It were useless to dwell upon details where triumphs meet us in every direction. We forego, therefore, all the expressions of exultation in which we might naturally and properly indulge on the result of the elections in the counties generally favour able to the Conservative cause, and direct our at tention, for the present, exclusively to West Norfolk, the Earl of Leicester's county. The Holkham Ra dical has been created an Earl by the favour of Lord Melbourne, and simultaneously with this creation his nominees in the county, which had heretofore been a close borough in his hands, are ejected from the House of Commons. It may be inferred from this that Lord Melbourne's patronage is not propitious to its objects. Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, was a greater man before Lord Melbourne made him Earl of Leicester than he is at present. His influence was Towerful, but not power ful enough to resist the effect of his having been converted into a Lord by the O'Connell Government. We begin to wish that Lord Melbourne would create a few more Jacobin Peers. From the encouragement which the freeholders of 'West Norfolk have given him we do not know why he should not go on I There may, perhaps, however, lie some impediment in his progress. It is not impossible that the Sovereign may biigin to think that it. is better not to create Earls when it is found that from the moment of their crea tion they lose the influence in their counties which they have form:rly enjoyed.— fhorning Post. --- EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

DESPERATE SUICIDE.—On Tuesday evening a coro ner's inquest was taken before Mr. Stirling, at the Lady Owen, Goswell-road, on view of the body of Mr. Tittinson, aged 45, who committed suicide by severing his throat with a table-knife. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who lived at No. 58, Goswell-road, married about three months ago. He was of a religious turn of mind, and he had every prospect of happiness ; but about six weeks after his mar riage, in consequence of the mercantile difficulties of a firm in the City, of which he had the management, he lost his situation. Since then he has laboured under a great de pression of spirits. On Tuesday morning, a little before nine o'clock, being absent some tithe, his unfortunate widow and landladrwent in search of him, whe❑ lie was found seated in a back room, his clothes being saturated with blood, while at his feet was a pool of blood. A surgeon was sent for, but life was extinct. A table-knife was found near Lim. Verdict—" Temporary insanity," Yesterday morning, as Stephen Allison, Esq., was driving down Regent-Street in his cabriolet, accompanied by his groom, one of the wheels came off, and both Mr. Allison and his servant were thrown with great violence into the road. It was found, on raising the former, that he had fractured his shoulder, besides sustaining some severe contusions ; but his servant, fortunately, escaped unhurt. The unfortunate gen tleman was conveyed home , in a coach. The processions of the different candidates for the North Wilts representation will, it is said, be very splendid ; and should the weather be favourable, (of which there is no great prospect at present) Devizes will present one of the gayest scenes ever witnessed in Wilts.—Devize s Gazette. UNITED STATES. PHILADELPHIA, JULY 8.--:Considerable anxiety is felt in all parts of the country on the subject of the Indian war in Florida. Indeed, there can be no doubt but the treaty which the Seminoles entered into was either not intended by them to be permanent and sincere, or it was completed by some of their chiefs without the plenary consent of the tribes. It is now said that Oceola (Powell), with another chief, has headed a war-party near Lek(' Monroe, where they presided at a council, and condemned Niicanopy to death for having signed the treaty with Ge- ' neral Jessup. The condemned chief was immediately chopped in pieces by the savages ; and his friends, Tiger Tail, Cloud, Alligator, and Wild Cat (all great warriors), were degraded from their rank, and no longer permitted to hold command. The general impression is, that the inha bitants of Florida will be again exposed to all the barba rities of savage warfare. Letters have arrived in this city which state that a number of fine cotton and other crops had been completely destroyed by the Indians. The Governor of the State of Maine has issued a very stirring proclamation to the militia of that State ; calling on them to hold themselves in readiness to resist what he calls " British aggression" over the Maine frontier. No acts 01 violence, however, hare taken place, though the excite ment is great. I again mention this subject in the hope that both British and American legislators will take it up, and by a little concession and perseverance on both sides set the question at rest for ever. • The recent commercial and monetary difficulties have been favourable to the growth of Texas, in causing great numbers to emigrate to that fertile region. As a republic and as a nation, separate in interest from Mexico, Texas may now be pronounced free from any further molestation on the part of Bustamente's Government. The weather on this side the Atlantic has been very cool for the se,ason. Except on the 4th of July, and about four or five other days, we have had very little warm weather for this country, hut, on the contrary, a great deal of rain, accommpanied with thunder and lightning, much resembling the wet season of the West Indies. Torna does and hail storms have also been numerous in the mid dle states. The politics may be almost said to sleep until the assem bling of Congress isf the first week of September. Tuesday last, being the 4th of July, the public rejoicings of our entire people in honour of the Gist anniversary of their independence' will furnish me with materials for a brief sketch. This day is celebrated in every part of the republic with a degree of joy ar.d enthusiasm that strangers can hardly conceive. It is the birthday of the American nation, when she rose up in her might, and threw off the chains of Tory despotism. I will content myself, however, with relating the manner in which it was observed in the goodly city of Philadelphia. As early as three o'clock in the morning the dawn was saluted with the thunder of a battery of heavy guns in the Navy-yard, which soon awakened the inhabitants from their slumbers. Before sunrise all the ships in the harbour (foreig❑ as well as American) were decorated with flags. and every steam-boat that could be had was put in requi sition, streaming with banners and gay with awnings, for the purpose of conveying the La Fayette, Washington, In dependent, and other patriotic clubs to rural districts up or down the Delaware. Some repaired to Bordentown to rusticate in the beautiful demesne of Joseph Bonaparte ; others descended the river to Wilmington, the banks of Brandywine, and various favoured and romantic spots, where they encamped and enjoyed a fete champeLe in the woods. Thousands upon thousands crossed the Dehwarc to the Jersey shore, which affords many delightful scene, , for public recreation. 'the ringing of Christ-church bells, the parading of min. tary, club, and numerous fantastic processions, with band., of music playing martial airs, and another salvo of artillery as soon as the sun had risen, proclaimed the commencement of the festal day. Every store, shop, and offic3 of busine:- was closed, and by ten o'clock, out of a population of 200,000, I should suppose that at least 70,000 persons ban left the bustle and turmoil of the city. I dined with a party at a great political dinner in Second. st reef Woods, about four miles north of the city. Nearly two thousand guests sat down to table, and no sooner were the viands dispatched than the great charter of American liberty, " The declaration of independence," was read by the President—all present standing up with th! it hats off. The " Memory of George Washington, the father cf his country," was drunk with cheers that made the rery forest ring for miles. I should here mention that it is a custom in America on this day for every party, whether public or private, large or small, to hear this document read before they enter on any further enjoyment. An excellent band of music enlivened the proceedings in Second-street Woods with national airs, such " Hail, Columbia," " Yankee Doodle," " The Star-spangled Ban ner," &c. All passed off merrily and happily. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1837. THE AMERICAN MARKETS. No sooner had the last packet sailed than the premium on specie in New York fell 3i to 4 per cent. It also ex perienced a corresponding reduction in Philadelphia and Baltimore ; but our latest advices from New Orleans and Mobile quote the difference between bullion and paper at 18, 19, and even 20 per cent. There are various reasons for the fall in specie in the northern cities—the principal of which are, the purchase of produce instead of gold and sil ver, for remittance to Europe, thereby lessening the de mand ; large arrivals of specie from Mexico and South America ; arid the quantity brought in for sale by country people who.had hoarded it up being more than was required. Large sums have also been introduced from Canada, and sold in New York by speculators. So that the market is somewhat " glutted," it', indeed, such a term will apply to gold and silver. There are rumours, but, as yet, only ru mours, that the banks will pay specie again sooner than was anticipated, and that the United States Bank intends to do so shortly. My own impressions are the very contrary of these rumours. 1 hope, however, that I may be in error. One thing is clear—the United States Bank cannot, con sistently with sound financial policy, resume specie pay ments until the measure becomes general, as by such a line of conduct every dollar would soon be abstracted from its vaults by the other banks, or by speculators, for the pur pose of selling at a premium. The dividend declared by the United States Bank a few days since was 4 per cent for the last six months. At that time the surplus fund of the Bank was upwards of 6,000,000 dollars, and the profits of the six months I have referred to (losses allowed for) 67.5,000 dollars. The sugar market is somewhat brisker, but has expe rienced no advance on my last :quotations, except that the best sorts from Cuba and Porto Rico arc looking rather up wards. Coffee, cotton, rice, and tobacco are also pretty stationary, though, on the whole, the market looks firm and well. Trade is naturally dull this week, owing to the festi vities of the " Fourth of July," which may b e said to in fluence business transactions for a day or two both before and after that anniversary. Grain and flour are decidedly rising, and the accounts which arrive daily from all parts of the interior show that this remark will apply to the whole country. The demand for flour is brisk, both for home consumption and exporta tion. Specie yesterday exhibited an inclination to get back to its old price, and premiums varying from loi to 1 1 were given. Sovereigns brought .5 dells. 40 cents to 5 dolls. 45 cents ; Spanish doubloons 18 dolls. ; Patriot ditto, 17 dolls. 10 cents to 17 dolls. 50 cents ; United States Bank Stock 109 cash-110 to 111 for next week. Good stocks of all kinds are improving. Louis BONAPARTX.—The following letter was addressed to the President of the United States by Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, previous to his embarkation for Europe :--, " New York, June 6, 1837.—Mr. President,—l am un willing to leave the United States without expressing to your Excellency the regret I feel in departing without having gone to Washington to make your acquaint ance. Though an ill-fated destiny brought me to Ame rica, I had counted upon reaping great benefit in my new place of exile from the society of her distinguished men. I wished to study the manners and institutions of a people who have achieved more lasting triumphs by their commerce and their enterprise than we in Eu rope have gained by our arras. I had hoped, under the guardianship of your free laws, to have travelled over a coun try which excites all my sympathy, from the fact that its history and prosperity are intimately blended with the re membrance of that which is a glory to Frenchmen. But imperative duty recalls me to the Old World ; my mother being dangerously ill, and no political consideration de taining me here, I go to England, and shall from thence endeavour to return to Switzerland. " It is with pleasure, Sir, that I enter upon these de tails with your Excellency, since you may have given cre dence to the calumnious surmises respecting me which have appeared in some of the public journals. Holding you, Sir, as I do, in high estimation, us the ruler of a free peo ple, I am happy that you should know that, with the name I bear, it is not possible for me to depart for an instant from the path pointed out to me by my conscience, my ho nour, and my duty. " I pray your Excellency to receive this letter as a proof of my respect for him who occupies the chair of Washing ton, and accept the expression of my regard and distin guished consideration.

Mr. WIGRAM appeared in support of a petition in this matter, praying that the report of the Master might be sent back to be revised, on the ground that a number of the old corporators, and persons charged with a malad ministration of the corporation funds, had been appointed trustees. Seven of the trustees were thus impeached, but Use petitioners, a Mr. Tudor and others, complained par ticularly of the nomination of a Mr. Richards, who is the present mayor, and who is charged in an information now before the Court, with the possession of certain Church lands which are charity lands, and which he holds through exchange for other lands, which are alleged to be, compa ratively, of very inferior value. Sir W. H. HORNE opposed the petition, and asserted that no part of the charity lands were in the possession of any of the trustees. . The LORD CHANCELLOR was at all times unwilling to meddle with the finding of the Master on these inquiries ; but the allegations with respect to Mr. Richards required some explanation. The report might be confirmed as to the others, but Mr. Richards must make an affidavit to explain more fully the allegation of the exchange of land alleged to belong to the charity. IN RE THR SCARBOROUGH CHARITIES. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for the costs in this matter to be paid out of the funds. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL opposed this. The clients of the Solicitor-General were a number of Quakers, and Ranters, and Independents, who had thought proper to claim an interference with a Church of England fund ; and the Court had rejected their claim. If Mr. Bottomly, the Independent, and Mr. Goodall, the Ranter ; and Mr. Something else, the Quaker, had not meddled with that which did not concern them, no expense would have been incurred, and he therefore hoped his Lordship would leave the parties to pay their own costs. The LORD CHANCEL L O R sa id it was one of the great misfortune of the appointment of these men as trustees, that it threw heavy costs on the funds of the charity. The Master in the present instance had mixed up two other charities with one exclusively Church of England, and ap pointed one set of trustees to all. The Court had disal lowed this, and declared that two sets of trustees must be appointed ; but the persons whose conduct was now im peached were the first petitioners, and perfectly regular in their proceedings, although, by the oversight of the Master, new costs had been incurred. They must, how ever, be paid out of the funds. PREROGATIVE COURT, Arassr 1. BIRCH V. COLEMAN-JUDGMENT. The Learned JUDGE gave his decision in this case. It is a suit respecting the validity of a paper propounded as the last will and testament of Mr. Knightly Adams, which was executed by the deceased a few hours previous to his death, but which does not bear his signature, in consequence, as it is alleged, of the deceased having been seized suddenly with a stupor, which prevented him from either writing his name or affixing his mark, and from which he did not recover un til the moment of his death. An affidavit was drawn up, and signed, by Mr. Birch, one of the parties in this suit, and who is solely benefited by the paper, and two other per sons, asserting the truth of the above facts, and declaring their decided conviction that the deceased intended to place his signature to the paper, and that it was his desire that the instrument should operate. These were the broad facts of the case. The Learned Judge referred to several legal inaccuracies and formal errors which the witnesses had committed. These proved that great dependence could not be placed on the witnesses. The Court must con sider that the facts were of rather a suspicious na ture. The will, which bad been made in exti•einis, solely benefitted Mr. Birch, to the entire exclusion of the rela tives of the deceased. The deceased, it had been set up, was seized on an instant with a stupor, which prevented him from almost holding a pen, though it was proved that shortly before he had shaken hands with Mr. Birch, and had had a conversation with that gentleman for upwards of two hours. The persons signing the affidavit were Mr. Birch, who was exclusively interested in the validity of the will, and two others, one of whom was an illiterate, igno rant man, and who, in consequence of not being able to write, 1111:; compelled to put his mark. The Court had already said that it could not place dependence on such wit nesses ;it would go further—it would say that it would not give credit to their depositions. The Court accordingly pronounced against the validity of the paper, and con demned the party propounding in the whole costs of the suit. The Proctor for Ali% Bird—With all due deference to the Court I beg to give notice of an appeal. CONDUITT V. SOANE AND OTHERS. This is a question as to the admissibility of an allegation in a suit. concerning the validity of the will of the late Sir John Soane. The facts pleaded arc of a very curious nature. It sets up that Mr. George Soane was the natu ral and lawful son and only surviving child of the Sir John Soane ; that he was born on the 27th of September, 1790 ; and that, shortly after his birth, he was put out to nurse with the wife of a journeyman bricklayer, whose child died soon after, when he (Mr. George Soane) was sent back. Sir John Scene considered that he was not his child, but the child of the bricklayer, who had been substituted for his own child, whom he believed dead, and that he continued to entertain that notion till his death. That, i:otwithstanding the assurance of his mother to the contrary, he believed his son was a changeling, and in 1830, when a friend of Mr. George Swine, named Bryant, waited on Sir John on behalf of his son's children, the deceased referred him to the sth chapter of the Ist volume of " Gil Blas."# That in June, 1832, the deceased published and circulated a pamphlet against his son ; and, in conclusion, it pleaded that, at the time of making his will (which bore date the 11th of May, 1833), the deceased was actuated with the insane delusion above mentioned. The will is pro pounded.by Mr. Conduitt, one of the executors named therein, and is opposed by Mr. George Soane and others, on the grounds pleaded in the allegation. . The Learned JUDGE gave his opinion respecting the ad missibility of the allegation. He stated its contents, which were certainly very irregular. The question which the Court had to decide was, whether the facts set up in the allegation, if proved, would destroy the validity of the will. He (Sir H. Jenner) was of decided opinion that they would mot. The allegation contained nothing but general averments. The statements made were of a most unsatis factory nature, and could not destroy the will. Under these circumstances, the Court pronounced against the ad missibility of the allegation. M'LACHLAN V. WLACHLAN. This was a suit respecting the validity of the will of Mr. John M'Lachlan, who died on the 18th of August, 1835, possessed of personal property to the amount of 10,000/., and an estate in the West Indies. The deceased executed a will in 1822, and revised it in 1829, in which be be queathed certain legacies, and left his second wife a portion of the estate, which, after her death, was to go to her children. His only son by the first marriage had succeeded to the estate in Bermuda ; but under the will he would not be benefitted, not having given, as alleged, satisfaction to his father. On the day of his death the deceased desired his medical attendant to write instructions to the effect that he had executed a will in 1834, which he wished to operate. This paper is not forthcoming, and its contents are unknown. The question at issue was, whether the declaration by the testator, reduced into writing, that he had made a will in 1834, could revoke the papers 0f1822 and 1829, or whether he had died intestate ? Sir H. JENNER was of opinion that the paper propounded, which had been reduced into writing, from the declaration of the testator that he had made a will in 1834, was not revocatory of the will of 1822-29 ; that that will was not revoked by any subsequent paper of which the Court had any knowledge. The Learned Judge regretted that it was his duty to come to this conclusion, for he believed that the deceased intended to make some further provision for his son by his first marriage, but he was bound to act in obe dience to the law. Probate will be accordingly granted to the will of 1822-29. #ln that chapter one of the robbers in the cave, in relating his adventures, states that he was the son of a labourer, and had been substituted by his mother for the son of Don Rodrigo. ARCHES COURT, Aua. 1. LADY MUNTINGTOWER V. LORD HUNTINGTOWER. This is a suit by Lady Huntingtower against her hus band. An application was made to the Court this day for a temporary allotment of alimony. The answer to the al legation of faulties, admitted his Lordship's net income to amount to 1,8001. per annum. - After hearing Counsel, the Learned JUDGE thought that 8001. was a fair and reasonable sum to be allowed for the present. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICRSTiI, Are. 1. The Commissions for the borough and county of Leices ter were opened on Saturday last, and in the course of that day Mr. Baron BOLLAND disposed of all the town cases s ave one, a case of manslaughter, to be tried to•morrow (Wednesday). In the county the calendar was rather light. The cause paper contains eight cases, one a spe cial jury. INCHLEY V. GRAY. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 34/. 7d., for goods supplied. The plaintiff is an iron-founder, living at Loughborough, and the defendant Lieutenant- Colonel Gray, who resides at the village of Barrow-upon- Soar, in this county. The Jury found in favour of the plaintiff for the amount claimed. TVESTERN CIRCUIT—LiuXCESTON, JULY 31. The Assizes for the county of Cornwall commenced in this town to-day, the Commission having been opened on Saturday. Yesterday morning the Judges attended divine service at Launceston Church. There are nine causes entered in the list, three of which are Special Juries. They are all actions of trespass, eject meat, or covenant, being apparently of interest only to the parties concerned. Although there are 21 prisoners' names in the calendar, all the charges are for larceny, with the ex ception of one for murder, which will not be tried, as the Grand Jury have thrown out the bill of indictment. Chief Justice TINDAL takes the Crown Court here, and Mr. Justice PATTESON the Civil side. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Mo.vmours, 'lva. 1. Mr. William James, Thomas David, Edward Jenkins, John James, William Turner, William Waters, William Edwards, Jafeth James, and John Belsher, were charged with having feloniously and maliciously obstructed the air way of a mine, situate in the parish of Munnyddwslynne, the property of Mr. William Trueman Harford Phelps. Verdict—Not Guilty. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—ORLisLE, Juir 31. The Commission opened here on Saturday, and yesterday the Learned Judges, Mr. Baron Parke and Mr. Justice Coltman attended Divine Service in the Cathedral. Busi ness was proceeded with this morning. Mr. Baron Parke presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Coltman in the Nisi Prius Court. The calendar is unusually light, and only three or four unimportant causes were entered in the Nisi Prizes Court. KITCHEN V. SHAW. This was an action to recover damages for false imprison ment. The case was tried before Lord Abinger, about two years ago, when the verdict was for the defendant, but on application to the Court of King's Bench a new trial was granted. The plaintiff was a farmer's daughter, and some time since she was in the service of a gentleman named Hobson. In consequence of some quarrel the plaintiff left her service, and her master (Hobson) applied to the de fendant for a warrant against her for doing so. On the warrant she was arrested, and finally committed by the de fendant for one month to the House of Correction for leaving her service. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, .5/. The business in both Courts finished this evening. DENBIGHSHIRE. Mr. Baron ALDERSON arrived in Ruthin on Saturday last, from Beaumaris, where he had had a maiden assizes, there not being a single prisoner for trial for the county of Anglesey. And here the business was lighter than for many years past. The Court was opened on Monday morning, and the cause list was disposed of in three minutes, there being only two causes entered, one an ejectment cause in which the plaintiff did not proceed, and the other an undefended ac tion for the recovery of $77/. 14s. on two bills of exchange. All the proof necessary to enable the plaintiff to recover was the handwriting of tha acceptor, which was at once admitted, and a verdict was immediately given for the amount claimed. RAPE.—Charles Crewe, an old man, who was stated in the calendar to be 66 years of age, was indicted capitally for a rape committed on the person of Hannah Dod, a girl under ten years of age, at the Dunks, in the parish of Wrexham. The Attorney-General and Mr. Welsby appeared for the prosecution. From the testimony of the child herself it appeared that she resided next door to the prisoner, and was accustomed to clean his house, and unlace his boots, and on several occasions when she visited his house for these purposes he committed the offence with which he stood charged. Ile threatened to kill her if she told what had happened, and a disclosure was not made until another girl made some statement of something she had heard, and then the prosecutrix re vealed the whole truth to her friends. There was no sur geon called nor any other corroborative evidence adduced, and as the girl without such testimony did not give evi dence which, in a case so seriously affecting the prisoner, could with safety be relied on, the Court dijected the Jury to acquit him ; and another bill was then preferred and found for the misdemeanor, on which ho was convicted and sentenced to two years' imprisonment and bard labour. STABBING.—Edward 11 1 ynn, 20, was capitally indicted for stabbing John Jones, at Bangor, in May last, on which he was acquitted. He was afterwards indicted for a common assault. It appears that on the 16th of May last, the prisoner and John Glutton, another country man, met at the anniversary of a club, and while there the prisoner challenged Clutton to fight, and they went to an adjoining meadow, called the Groweth, for that purpose. During the contest, the prisoner drew a knife, and cut and wounded Clutton in the left side, and he fainted from the loss of blood which the wounds occasioned. An alarm was given that a man had been stabbed, and a parish constable came to the spot to apprehend the prisoner, but on his appearance, Wynn escaped and ran into an adjoining river. The constable then charged John Jones to assist in the capture of the prisoner, and Jones went into the river after him, when the prisoner stabbed him in the hand to avoid being apprehended. A bill was preferred on the capital charge on the prosecution of Clut ton, but it was ignored by the Grand Jury, and they after wards found a bill for the misdemeanor. For the assault on Clutton be was convicted, and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. No evidence was offered in the other case. The business terminated at one o'clock on Monday after noon. The business in the other counties on this circuit has been equally light. For Montgomeryshire there were two prisoners ; for Merionethshire 1, Carnarvon 2, Angle sey none, and Denbigh 2. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A cab driver, named Ephraim Yarley, was brought be fore the LORD MAYOR, charged by Mr. Langridge, a pro prietor of cabs, under the' following circumstances :—Mr. Langridge employed the prisoner to drive one of his cabs. Instead of coming home at night with the cab and earnings for the day, the prisoner drove into the yard at three o'clock in the morning, left the cab and horse there without the traces, and ran away as fast he could. The horse was desperately cut up, having been slashed and thiven till the poor animal had scarcely a leg to stand upon. The pro prietor had been treated before in like manner by some of his servants, and the excuse always was drunkenness. Th e offence of producing none of the receipts of the night, and of disposing of the traces in some improper manner, was quite provoking enough, but Mr. Langridge thought no thing of the loss—it was the cruel treatment of the horse he complained of. The Cabman—l didn't whip him extraordinary. He's an old good for nothing beast, and would'nt go without being poked a bit. I didn't act more cruel than I ought. The LORD MAYOR—What have you done with the traces and with your master's money? Cabman—The traces were in the cab when I drived into the yard, and I left 'em there. As for the money, all I got in the course of the day was 45., and that's quite little enough to live upon. The LORD MAYOR—What ! Four shillings a day for a man without a family ? Cabman—Yes, for the driver of a cab. Your Lordship, we must live well, or we can't do the thing as it ought to be done. Our masters ex pect us to bring home 15s. a-day, and the driving about makes us eat and drink wonderfully. I can't live upon less. The LORD MAYOR had had numerous complaints against cab drivers of late, and expressed Ills surprise that the owners did not endeavour to get decent people to do their business. The complainant said the owners had no controul ever them, and were subject to the greatest annoyance in consequence. Cabman—lt's a cruel thing to keep the poor horses out so long. The LORD MAYOR—And, therefore, you go beyond the usual hour, and flog your horse almost to death? Mr. NOBLER said it was incumbent upon the proprietors to get a clause introduced into the Bill about to be brought into Parliament for the regulation of vehicles, giving thorn a certain power over fellows who might rob them and ill• use their cattle. Cabman—Really I was drunk, my Lord, and I hope you won't mind it this time. The LORD MAYOR—I shall remand you till Friday, and you must then satisfy your master. An old Irishman, named Vero, who said that his age was 86 years, applied to the LORD MAYOR for permission to go to BiEhopsgate workhouse, where he had formerly been assisted. He had, he said, been a navy agent, and had been sent by the Government many years ago to Portsea, where he purchased a house for 3001., and laid out in fur nishing it 1001. more, but having had reverses he was obliged to apply for parochial relief. The house was in the same place still, and his claim was as good as ever, but having no money to buy justice he was neglected by every body, and, upon consulting an attorney, was told that he must go into Chancery with his claims, and that perhaps when he should be there about twenty years, at the end of which he should be 106 years old, he might come in for the enjoyment of the house and furniture. Under these dismal circumstances he was sent to the Union poor-house at Port sea, but the system there was the starvation system, and he'got away while there was breath in his body. The LORD MAYOR-1 see one of the parish officers of Bishopsgate here ; now what does he say ?-111r. Booker said that the poor old man had been formerly in the Bi shopsgate workhouse, and that application had been made to the parish officers of Portsea about the house in ques tion, to which it appeared there was some claim. The legal proceedings necessary to be adopted, however, it would seem, prevented the inquiry from going much further. The old man said that he could prove that the house was his, but all the good he got was being thrust into the Union, and he would submit to be shut before be would go back, for, old as he w as , h e did not get h a lf a mea l A ny day there. The Overseer said that the parish officers would, if his Lordship expressed it to be. his wish, receive the applicant, aged and destitute as he evidently was, and write to the au thorities at Portsea. His Lordship expressed himself accordingly, and the old man was received into the wor kh ouse . The Loan MAYOR in the course of the day received a young sturgeon, the first caught in the Thames in the present reign, and immediately sent it as a present to her Majesty. HATTON-GARDEN. William Williams, a young man of respectable appear ance, but very dejected, was examined, charged by Mr. Henry Hall, silversmith and jeweller, of No. 284, High Holborn, with having stolen a valuable silver watch. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday night last the prisoner entered his shop and requested to see a watch, and on being shown two he chose one, which he put into his pocket, saying, " This will do," and then ran out of the shop. He was pursued and taken into custody with the property in his possession. Witness had been robbed twice before under similar circumstances. Police Constable 42 E proved finding the watch in the prisoner's possession. The prisoner, who hung down his head, shed tears ; but evidently made an effort to repress them ; and on being ques tioned as to who and what he was, he declined answering. Mr. LAING said, if his object was to be transported he would be disappointed, as he should receive a different pu nishment, and he was fully committed for trial. He said nothing in his defence, but left the bar much depressed, and crying silently. Mr. William Bryant, a gentleman of fortune, residing in Pleasant row, Holloway, was brought up on a warrant by Nesbitt the officer, charged by William Cave, ttle informer, who exhibited articles of the peace against him. The defendant, who was attired in a shooting dress, seemed much excited. Complainant stated that he resided next door to the de fendant, who was in the habit of firing off his gun by day and night, to the annoyance of the neighbourhood, and he had more than once threatened to have witness's life. On Saturday morning last whilst he was dressing himself and looking out of the window, he saw the defendant in the garden behind his house firing and looking at witness. Ho said, " Come out, and I will do for you." Mr. ROGERS—Do you mean to swear that you go in dan ger of your life ? Witness—l do, your Worship. Mr. ROGERS (to the defendant)—What have you to say ? Defendant (in a Yorkshire dialect)—Why, Sir, I reckon myself as gude a shot as any mon in the coontry, and betther than zum here and there ; and I am in the habit of shooting a feu sparrows now and then ; but I never meant to shoot him, not 1. Mr. ROGERS—Are you in the habit of shooting spar rows by night ? Defendant—No ; but I amuse myself a little by firing off my gun. Mr. ROGERS should order him to find bail. Bail immediately offered themselves, were received, and Mr. Bryant was liberated. It may be recollected that, about two months ago, Mr. Bryant, who is very eccentric, called in a J ew, to di spose of some left-off clothes, which he parted with for a mere trifle, when he subsequently discovered that he had sold a pair of trousers, the pockets of which contained betwen 2001. and 300/. ; and, although every inquiry has been made, no tidings have yet been traced of the property or the lucky Israelite. MARY LEBONE. CURIOUS CASE OF AFF ILIATION.—Yesterday Mr. George Chester, a grocer, of Long-acre, appeared before the magistrates, to show cause why he refused to support. an illegitimate child, to which a young woman, named Mary Handley, had given birth, and which had become chargeable to the parish of St. Marylebone. The child, a little boy, five years of age, was born in April, 1832, which was antecedent to the passing of the new Poor-law Bill, so that the defendant was liable for its support. He had done so voluntarily for some time, but, having at last neglected to do so, had been thrown on the parish. A solicitor, on behalf of the defendant, observed that it was a very peculiar and hard case for his client. The fact. was that his client, when an apprentice, only 17 years of age, bad been seduced by the mother of the child, who was upwards of thirty. She had been at that time cook in the same house in Henrietta-street. His client did not mean to deny the improper intimacy, but contended that the cook had other lovers who were more likely to be the father of the child than a youth of seventeen. The magistrates having made the order for four shilling's. a week upon Mr. Chester, the solicitor considered it very' exorbitant, as it was a well-known fact that since the passing of the new Poor-law Bill adults were maintained its workhouses at the expense of Is. 3.-1-d. only a head per week. WORSHIP -STREET. Yesterday Mary Delaney, Ellen Million, her daughter, and Joseph and George Delaney, her sons, were brought up for re-examinati o n b e f ore M r . GROVE, on a c h arge o f haring wilfully murdered George Million, the huaband of Ellen Million. The evidence of Mr. Rance, a surgeon, and of thr©e other witnesses, was taken ; after which Mr. GROVE stated to Mr. Robinson, th• solicitor for the prosecution, that, as no charge could be sustained against any particular person, he should not press the case further. Mr. GROVE then observed to the prisoners that they had all been repeatedly at the bar on charges of assault and intoxication, and they had been warned on the course of life they were leading, being told that one day or another they would be charged with murder. That day had come ; but, though it was not in his power, from the evidence be fore him, to fix the crime of murder on any one individual. there was not the least doubt that a foul murder had been. committed. They had run through the property that they had left them ; and he had no doubt but that the same fete would attend the property which came to them on the death of George Million. Let them beware : their offences had already caused some of them to have been imprisoned ; but a greater punishment might yet await them ; and it again brought before him he should closely investigate their conduct. The daughter shed tears while at the bar, but the others were not in the least moved. acc DR.
