PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. .ses The spirit and principle of that great measure which consolidated the Parliaments of Great Britain and Ire land are imperfectly felt anti understood, if we are not prepared to concern ourselves as actively and cordially in everything that affects the welfare of Ireland as if our own immediate interests were the matters in issue. England and Ireland arc one to all intents and pur poses, or the Act of Union may be torn uki to snake battledores. When abuses are proved to exist in Ire land, such as we feel that we should not suffer to exist upon this side of the Channel for a single hour, or when those constitutional rights and privileges, which, . having once obtained, we feel that we should die rather than surrender, are refused to our Irish fellow-citizens, we arc bound, as honest Englishmen and as loyal 'sub jects, to manifest the same anxiety to reform those abuses as if they existed here, and to use the same exertions to obtain those privileges as if they were with held from ourselves. Ireland is no more to be considered apart from England, than Wales or Yorkshire apart from the remainder of the island. The Union for bids us to distinguish between Irish and English inte rests, or Irish and English questions. As there is no such a thing as a Yorkshire question, or a Welsh question, so there is no such thing, in strict consti tutional parlance, as an Irish question. An Irish question is an English question, and the enemies of Ireland are equally the enemies of England. Impo verish, debase, or enslave Ireland, and you impoverish, debase, or enslave England. It was a sentiment of Mr. Grattan, equally just and noble, that " the Irish Protestant would never be free until the Irish Catholic ceased to be a slave." The observation admits of being extended : it may be laid down as a sound imperial maxim, that the people of England will never be free until the people of Ireland cease to be slaves. Ireland is not an islet like Anglesea, or a speck in the ocean like-St. Helena. Ireland is a vast limb of the United Kingdom, ample in territory, powerful in every natural capability, mighty .in population, in every element of strength and consequence too import ant to be afflicted with any disorder of serious moment without spreading the contagion of its disease to the other members of the empire. We boast of our English wealth, our English liberty, and our English comfort ; but we do not suffi ciently consider how much our wealth is diminished, our liberty endangered, our comfort and social har mony disturbed, by the impoverishment, political de pression, and miserable sectarian squabbles of our Irish neighbours. Every blow struck by the Tories at the prosperity of freedom of Ireland is felt in every corner of the United Kingdom. The misery in which they have steeped the Irish peasantry to the lips overfl ows upon th e S cotc h and English population. To main tain the giantgrievances and monstrous anomalies which the Tories insist upon perpetuating in Ireland, we keep up an enormous military establishment, and pay enormously in taxes to support it. Every Irish abuse that continues unreformed —every Irish nuisance that continues unabated—is pro perly to be regarded as so much strength remain ing in the hands of the common foe—so much power left to a selfish and oppressive faction to prosecute their interminable war against the ge neral cause of freedom and improvement. With what propriety can we boast of the health and flourishing condition of the United Kingdom while, under the burden of uncongenial and extrava gant institutions, anti the scourge of a mischievous domestic faction, a third part of it continues in the state of poverty and political degrada4on to which the Tories have brought Ireland. With what justice do we boast of British liberty while seven millions of British subjects remain excluded from the very elements of that glorious advantage ? Let us talk if we please of English liberty or Scotch liberty—of English prosperity or Scotch prosperity ; but it is the height of infatuation to talk of the liberty or prosperity of the empire while so great a member of the imperial family as Ireland remains in the state of physical ex haustion and political servitude, to which Tory go vernments, Tory institutions, and Tory policy have reduced it. How can that party be fit to conduct the affairs of the Britiih empire, the very bond of whose union as a party is a rooted and undying hatred to seven millions of the people of that empire ? If the union is worth a straw, Irishman and Englishman are one ; and, if Irishman and Englishman ar e one , t h e party is no more to b e tolerated which rests its pre tensions to the Government upon an open de claration of hostility to Ireland, than if it claimed our support upon the grounds of an equally express resolution to oppose the liberties of England. Gracious heaven ! did the world ever behold an in- . stance of political effrontery comparable to that of the Tories, in grounding their title to the public support and confidence upon the avowed principle of perpetu ating all the disorders, wrongs, and grievances of one third part of the empire, the government of which they claim ? The Tories, in fact, declare, " People of Great Britain, towards seven millions of you we are actuated by a feeling of inextinguishable hatred. To seven millions of you we are resolved never to con cede Municipal liberties, which are the elements of all others. While the reins of Government are in our hands, you may rely upon it that seven millions of you shall never enjoy the benefits of the British Constitu tion ; that seven millions of you shall never be treated as free citizens, or reai3Qualle beings. Towards a third part of the Un'...ed Kingdom we promise and vow never to adopt a liberal or enlightened principle. Towards osie-third part of the United Kingdom we pledg e ourselve s to pursue a bigoted and despotic po licy. All'aw us to rule the destinies of this great em pire, for with one of its most important members we have no feeling, sentiment, or principle in common ; w e bate the country and the creed ; we hate the laity and the priesthood. These are our pretensions to ma nage your a ffairs."—Morning Chronicle. We have this day the pleasure of' congratulatin g our readers, and the friends of humanity thiougho u t the world, on the successful result—successful in so far as one of the unhappy parties is concerned—of the exertions which were recently made by the inhabitants of the west of Scotland to rescue from the hands of the public executioner the two individuals now under sen tence of death in Paisley. We envy the feelings of those humane individuals in that town and its neigh bourhood, who originated and took the most active part in this Christian and merciful enterprise. They must, at this moment have a somethiug within their breasts, which, did we possess it, we would not give in exchange for all the glory, unjustly so called—with which the name of the greatest general of ancient or modern times is associated. The happy results of the reprieve which has been granted the wretched woman on whom the sentence of death was to have been carried Into effect in a day or two, in the west of Scotland, will not be confined to rescuing her from the doom of a public exe cution, and sinning the shock which such a spec tacle must }'.ac given to the feelings of the people of Scotia ; but they will exercise a great, though indi. rec.., influence on the question. of capital punishments `, - ,sencrally., The more that men's minds are turned to the contemplation of the judicial shedding of human blood, the greater must be the horror with which they will regard the existence of a law on our statute book, which requires the taking away of the life of a fe!lorf mortal trader a n y c i rcumstances —especially "Pete facts tan be stated, and arguments can be urged, Ota paidating nature. The feeling is now :rapidly wining ground throughout the width and breadth of theai land--and what is worth, a secia is, that it is Most general! en t erta is ra idlyined b y the l mention best and most nlintiened m en in country-the feeli ng , we say , p spreading, that capita l punishments are un thristian and unjust. They have been proved times without number to be impolitic ; for it i s matter o f hrithmetkal proof, th a t they invariably increase, in ttceA bt diminishing the very crimes which it is their professed object to repress. On the brutalizing effect s of public executions on the minds of the people, we will not at present make any observa tion, that being a point to which we invited public attention a few days since. Most anxiously could we have wished th a t t h e re i g n of Queen Victoria h a d been characterised by the non-occurrence of a single public execution, from its commencement to its close. As that, however, from the determination of Lord John Russell respecting the miserable man now under sentence of death in Paisley, may not be, we do most earnestly call on all the friends of humanity and just Lice throughout the United Kingclorn to lender the u 1• dicial shedding of bloodblooda Matter of as rare occur rence as possible, by giving a decided and unanimous expression of the horror with which the s v regard slich spectacles, as often as opportSiiiitieS ;nay present them selves for aping tit) with effect. As closely connected with this subject, we may advert for a moment td the ease of the shoemaker; killed the other day at Hampstead. First of 'all, let Us express our strong reprobation of the practice of allowing soldiers to carry sidesarm s w h en not on duty, When they are on duty the regulation_ may be a proper one t at all events, the risk of any unhappy tonsequences result ing from it are infinitely less than when off duty~ A soldier on duty is not only necessarily ptesinned to be sober, but he is, in a great measure, if not entirely, beyond the reach of persons who may be disposed to quarrel with him. When off duty, on the contrary, the soldier is too often in the public-house, where there are generally parties who being, like himself, un der the influence of intoxicating draughts, are as much disposed to q uarre l w i t h him as he is with them. The wonder consequently is, that such tragedies as that enacted the other day at Hampstead, are not of more frequent occurrence. It is a strong argument against granting permission to soldiers to wear side-arms, that in all quarrels with other persons the latter are sure to be the sufferers, if not the victims—they having no deadly weapons in their hands. It is a gross oversight —to call it by no harsher name—on the part of Go vernment, to have sanctioned the practice of soldiers wearing their side-arms, when off duty, so long. Within the last few years there have several conse quences flowed from it. It is to be hoped that the present catastrophe will lead to its prohibition in fu ture. We observe that the Coroner's inquest on the body of the shoemaker, who died of the wounds he received from the soldier, have returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the latter. That was a verdict which the facts of the case did not warrant-- the verdict should have been simply one of " Man slaughter ;" but as the Jury at the Central Criminal Court will doubtless rectify the error of the jury at the Coroner's inquest, we will not further advert to the sub ject at present.—Morning Advertiser. The value of the House of Lords as an integral part of the Constitution, and as a co-ordinate body in the Legislature with the House of Commons, was never more clearly exemplified than in the course of the struggle which has been carried on between the friends and the enemies of our national institutions ever since the accession of the present Ministry to office. When a Ministry bound irrevocably to the chariot wheels of an able and profligate demagogue, with a secure though not very large majority at their back, applied whatever energies and influence they possessed to obtain the sanction of the Legislature for such measures as were intended to gratify the ambition, in dulge the bigotry, and realise the criminal hopes of their Popish taskmaster, who labours incessantly for the sub version of the Protestant Church and the dismember ment of the empire, the House of Lords resisted the tide of destructive innovation, and stood the immovable barrier of the religion and constitutional liberties of Eng land. If the House of Lords had not existed as a check upon ministerial influence or democratic impulses exer cised in the Commons, or if the successors and repre sentatives of the " bold Barons" who founded the liber ties of England had been less courageous, less pa triotic, and more accommodating to the wishes of an unprincipled Ministry than they have shown them selves to be, the " compact of Lichfield House" would before this time have been " carried out" in Legisla tive enactments, and the strongholds of the Constitu tion would have been surrendered to its implacable enemies. The attempts made to overawe and coerce the House of Lords are still fresh in the recollection of the public. O'Connell's expedition as a " Minis terial Missionary" to preach down that august body as a public nuisance that ought to be abated be cause it constituted an obstacle in the way of his dangerous schemes, which neither Popish cunning nor Ministerial intimidation could overcome, our readers are aware, received all the support which the Government journals could give it, although Ministers themselves were silent on the subject. But the Missionary overshot his mark. The robe of the Jesuit did not sufficiently disguise the character of the Revolutionist. The violence and coarseness, or, we might rather say, the savage ferocity of O'Con nell's language on that occasion, disgusted English notions of decency, as his wild declamation outraged all reason. Not only_ was. that atrocious plot to inti midate the House of Lords into a base compliance with the measures of the O'Connell-Melbourne Ad ministration a complete failure, but it threw the stigma of indelible disgrace upon the Ministry by whom it had been, if not originally concocted, at least secretly fostered and encouraged; It is a remarkable fact, that ever since that outrageous crusade of O'Connell, the Ministers whose " missionary" lie declared himself to be, have been sinking lower and lower in public opi nion, while the Lords, whom he so furiously libelled and assailed, have been as constantly rising in the es timation of the country. The great service which the House of Lords has performed to the nation, consists in the manly and intrepid stand which they made against the destructive measures of the O'Connell Cabinet and their majority, until the mind of the country, which Whig-radical artifices had somewhat seduced from its propriety, came round, and public feeling had righted itself. The Lords, supported by such a body of Conservatives as the late elections have sent into the House of Commons, will henceforth have an easier task to perform, in preserving from Ministe rial treachery and Popish fraud, the ancient and in estimable institutions of the British empire. —Morn ing Herald. The morning Journal which attempts to support Lord Melbourne's Government, and affects at the same time to support liberal opinions, seizes an ac cidental occasion to sow enmity between the troops and the civil subjects of her Majesty, and to denounce the highest milita r y aut h or i t i es bearing her Majesty's Commission as the systematic and determined enemies of her Majesty's people. The accidental occasion upon which our Ministerial Contemporary pursues this conduct and manifests this disposition is the death of a shoemaker, who received a bayonet wound, of which he died, from a man who had been discharged, after being for one year with his regiment, for a degree of weakness of mind which rendered him in capable of discharging his military duties. The de ceased had, it appeared, fallen into company in the tap-room of a public-house at Hampstead with a party of soldiers, of which the person charged by the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest with his mur der, and the brother of the latter, still a soldier, formed part. Some dispute arose about the reckon ing, in the course of which the deceased made a violent personal attack upon the soldier just discharged from his regiment, upon the ground of imbecility of mind. His conduct was such that the landlord of the house thought it necessary to drag him from the room, to which, after giving a pro mise to behave more quietly, he was permitted to re turn. After his return nothing to deserve notice oc curred in the taproom, but the two brothers, one of them the late soldier discharged for weakness of mind, having left the place, the deceased very shortly after wards left it also. No further evidence as to the'cir cumstances antecedent to the homicide is offered. What remains to tell is short. Whether the subse quent meeting of the parties was accidental or inten tional, or if intentional, by which of the two parties it was contrived, does not appear. All that is known from the evidence is, that they did meet that the shoemaker who had acted at the public-house in the manner we have described was found mortally wounded —that he was so wounded by the imbecile discharged soldier, with the bayonet of his brother—mid that, after the infliction of the mortal wound, the two soldiers fled from the spot, and,.. after pursuit and resistance, were apprehended. Up on these facts the Coroner's in quest have pronounced a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the soldier discharged the day before from his re giment for imbecility of mind. Upon such a verdict it is, of course, unnecessary to offer any comment. Everybody perceives at a glance that it is worth no thing. We are sorry to say this, for the inquisition by a Coroner and Jury in cases of sudden death has been, and might still be, one of the most valuable of our national institutions. But it cannot be concealed that this institution is rapidly falling irito contempt, VIP st:N, LONDON, W.FAINESDAY, OCTOBER 1. 4 , 1-331 froili the disposition which has so frequently of late manifested by Coroners' Juries to prostitute their functions to political and factinOs pnepti§e§, iii utter disregard of fact, evidence, and law, Or in the deplorable incapacity of un d ers ta n di ng what any of these things mean. W e adVeli td this occurrence piliMpaily, however, on acco unt of th e mean and malignant use to which.it has been applied by the organs of Lerd Melbourne's MIA We cann9t express the disOt MIA We read an ar ticle in the MOrning.Chronicle of yesterday, in which, froin this and another similar event s it is inferred that the highest military authofitlea in the i'otiniiY Who permit ladidier's in wear their sidearms when not upon duty are indifferent t o th e li ves o f t h e i r fellow-subjects.. We copy the conclusion of this Ministerial article, for the purpose of exposing its spirit l-- " Some of our contemporaries attribute the d( termina tion of the heads of the army to the Machiavelian policy or breeding hatred between the soldiers and the people, but we attribute it to no such deep design. We are inclined to believe that there is really nothing more at the bottom of the determination than a piece of silly affectation. It is thought, no doubt, that to refuse to make any concession to a demand, however just, of the people, is a proof of spirit. Of this the people may rest assured, that if they do not take the matter seriously up they will continue to be exposed to the insults of soldiers armed with bayonets. The Horse Guards may be inclined to capitulate after a few murders, especially:if public indignation be roused by the less of some individual of consideration. As Chaplin is merely a poor man, it is probable that this matter will have no result." PRICES OV CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES,&c. &c. &c. toNt)ON, TIIEBDAY I OCT: 17.

Our Ministerial Contemporary insults the people whom he pretends to protect as much as the military autho rities whom he calumniates and reviles. What por tion of the people are in the habit of mixing with soldiers in the tap-rooms of public-houses ? What portion of the people care on their own account one farthing whether soldiers do or do not wear their side arms when off duty ? Do not butchers, unreproved, go into public-houses with their instru ments of slaughter hanging to their girdles ? Do not various classes of artisans wear habitually about their persons tools as capable as a bayonet of inflicting, desperate and mortal wounds ? And does any body suppose that they should be restrained from doing so, because now and then an inebriated and furious member of their class employs the knife, the shears, the chisel, or the awl to a fatal purpose ? Will not a clasp-knife, intended to cut nothing but bread and cheese, kill as well as a bayonet ? Why, then, should soldiers alone, of all classes of mankind, be deemed unfit to carry about them anything com posed of cold iron, :and havin g edge or point ? The whole controversy is absolute nonsense, and no one with the least pretension to common sense would ever have set it on foot, but for the idle hope which has been cherished that it may, on certain favourable occa sions, contribute to the design of creating hostility be tween the soldiers and the people, and afford the op portunity of stigmatising " the heads of the army." The " heads of the army," unless Whig-Radicals should arrive at a stage of preferment of which it is evident they have little hope, will not be guided by " the Machiavelian policy of breeding hatred between the soldiers and the people ;" they will not be in fluenced by the " silly affectation" of an opinion, that " to refuse to make any concession to a demand, how ever just, of the people, is a proof of spirit ;" they will not regard the violent death of a fellow-subject as an incident the less deplorable because he was a poor man and not " some individual" of " consideration ;" but neither will they convey to British soldiers an intima tion that, in the opinion of " the heads of the army," they are unfit to be entrusted with their arms when they mix in society with their fellow-subjects, and thus stamp the more humble ranks of the military profes sion with a stigma as unmerited as it would be pecu liar and invidious.—Morning Post. 1,380,0001. 441. p. ct.

Van Die. aer.'s Land 1001. sh. 174 pd lb 2.500 A handsome Gothic monument has just been erected in the,little village church of Laverstock, near Salisbury, to the memory of the late Sir James Burrough. The monu ment bears the following inscription, in old English charac ters :—" In memory of Sir James Burrough, Knight, late of this parish, and of Bedford-square, in the county of Middlesex. He studied the law with industry, and prac tised it for many years with such integrity, ability, and suc cess, that he was created, in 1816, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1828 he retired from that office to a private life, and the enjoyments arising from benevolence, charity, and a cheerful temper, increased by the attentions of his family and friends, and died on the 25th of March, 1837, in the eighty-eighth year of his age. His remains were deposited in the vault of the Temple church, London. This tablet was erected by Anne Bur rough, his only surviving child." Monday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge re viewed the whole regiment of the Coldstream Guards, of which the Royal Duke is Colonel. The men marched on to the ground a few minutes after ten, and the Duke of Cambridge, attended by a numerous staff, arrived about a quarter to eleven. The regiment, under the command of Colonel Fremantle, was then formed into line and after wards into companies, when they marched by his Royal Highness in slow and quick time. A high culogium was passed upon them by the Royal Duke, and the men then returned to their barracks. The band was retained for some time afterwards, and played in its usual beautiful style several pieces of music from favourite operas. The company was very select, and many ladies of rank and fashion were present. DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS.—On corn• mencing the widening of the road at the bottom of West street, in this town, the workmen have, at the depth of about a yard below the surface of the garden ground, on the left hand, dug up several human skulls and bones, which may be easily accounted for, from the circumstance of the spot having been the burial ground of the Church of St. Lawrence, which stood there many centuries ago. At what period that Church was founded is very uncertain, but it was stated five hundred years since that it was in a state of ruin ; and in the reign of Edward 111. it was for mally dissolved by a Royal decree. Of course there is no trace of it at the present day. The skulls are in a more perfect state than might have been expected, and several teeth are firmly fixed in them.—Lcanzington Gazette. During the first six months of the present year the mines of Russia yielded 143 ponds and 13 pounds of gold, and 62 poods and 27 pounds of plating. Mr. Joseph Thompson, of Ashover, had, on Tiling day night last, his pocket picked in the Haymarket of bills and notes to the amount of 4954—Derbyshire Courier. WEY/I ILL FAIR.—The hop fair began on Thurs day, although but little business was then transacted. The prices obtained for Farnham hops were about from 81. to 91. Country hops sold from 71. 7s. to 81. The number of pockets grounded this year in the Farnham row was 2,223 ; in the county rows, 4,700 ; while the Farnham row last year contained 3,000 pockets, and the county rows, 5,249. This shows a considerable falling off in the growth this year. Our account says much business was doing on Friday, and the fair was so crowded as to render the walks almost impassable.—Hanzpshire Telegraph. SKETCH AT TATTERSALL'S.--The air which pervades the room and its arrangements is the ideal of playing at 'Change. While grouped around are the mer chant nobles of the land, driving their bargains with loga rithmic cunning, seated at the corner table is the newspaper reporter, noting down each fluctuation of the odds with fractional minuteness. On ordinary occasions you will not find there the leaders of the racing world, Lords Exeter, Jersey, Chesterfield—neither their Graces of Rutland, Richmond, nor Grafton ; more freqnently than any of his compeers being to be seen the impersonation of the old English squire, in very yellow leathers, top-boots uncon scious of oxalic acid, a blue coat, and a spencer of the same hue—the Duke of Portland. Most prominent, and evi dently regarded as of commanding influence, is the Right Hon. Charles Grovillc. This gentleman has neither a large nor an average turf establishment even for its size, but whether for himself alone, or representing hiti friends, he shows formidably at Hyde Park Corner, and in the ring en Newmarket Heath. He has the reputation of being one o f the most skilful handicappers of the day, the most ac complished of all modern professors of that most intricate and obnoxious art, being, singularly enough, a son of Nep tune, the universally popular companion and excellent sea man, the Hon. Capt. Rous.—Monthly Magazine. One day last week, as the sawyers in the yard of Messrs. Pruidey, builders, in Droitwich, were opening a large piece of elm, they found embedded in the timber a bird's nest containing five eggs. The eggs were all perfect in colour and quite sound. The wood surrounding the nest was from five to six inches in thickness, and free from any pressure or imperfection. 20,c00 8,000 4,000 0,000 ... ..... 30,000 ... ......

( From the New London Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.—West India has fully supported previous prices, and in some instances an advance of 6d. has been obtained ; The market has been very lively, both grocers and refiners have purchased freely, and the private purchases since our last have been 2,700 hhds. and tre. Even at the present rates some of the importers are not inclined to sell, and when it is considered the great deficiency there is in the stock here when compared with that of last year at this period, and that at the principal outports a further falling off of above 9,000 hhds. is known to exist, it is natural that many of the holders should be very con. fident, in the expectation of this difference showing itself very much by the end of the year, and that they cont►nue conse quently sanguine in the opinion of a further advance in prices. At the opening of the market this morning, the importers demanded rather higher prices than were paid on Friday, which they again easily succeeded in obtaining, and the market was exceedingly brisk ; the demand from both grocers and refiners was extensive and general, and an advance of 6d. on previous rates has been established, even at which several holders are unwilling sellers. The deficiency in the stock, and the favour able turn the refined trade has taken, has given them increased confidence. The private purchases amount to 1,300 hhds. and trs. There was no public sale of Barbadoes, and none is declared. The stock of West India Sugar is now 31,527 Wads. and trs., being 12,861 less than last year. The stock of Mauri tius is now 64,995 bags, which is 24,341 more than last year (including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India last week was 2,659 hhds. and trs., which is 273 more more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 4,567 bags, being 1,447 more than the corresponding week of last year (including the East India Dock.) Of Refined goods the grocers have purchased freely, paying 745. for Lumps rather under the standard, and 755. for those entitled to the double bounty ; for shipping there has been a very good business done ; double Crushed has been selling at 345., and there being only a limited quantity ready for im mediate delivery, difficulty is now experienced in purchasing under 345. 6d. Pieces and Bastards have been in brisk de mand. Treacle has been taken readily, particularly ord. and mid. qualities, for which rather higher prices have been ob tained, Dutched Crushed Sugar is held for 325. ; 31s. 6d. has been offered and refused. This afternoon the market was exceedingly brisk, both grocers and shippers purchasing freely at an advance on pre vious rates of Is., the former paying 7iis. for Lumps rather under, and 765. for those passing the standard, and the latter 345. 6d. to 355. for double Crushed ; even at which rates there are now few sellers, goods being extremely scarce.
