SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The vigorous yet cautious policy of the Administra tion of Sir Robert Peel affords an admirable contrast to the half-rash half-timid conduct of the defunct Ministry. The Right Hon. Baronet and his colleagues appear armed at all points. Is a question put relative to Church Reform ? No shuffling, no semi-explana tion, but a bold declaration that, however difficult the question may be—and no one but a fool or knave can deny that the question is one of immense magnitude and importance, involving in its consideration not merely the temporal welfare but the eternal happiness or misery of millions—the Government is prepared to grapple with it in all its various and complicated bear ings, and to bring it, by the blessing of God, to a safe and permanent adjustment. Is Corporation Reform made or attempted to be made a handle for embarrassing his Majesty's advisers? Sir Robert Peel turns the tables upon his opponents, and demonstrates in the most satis factory manner that neither he nor his colleagues have the slightest interest in preserving what are called the abuses of Corporation. It would, indeed, have been made a subject of heavy abuse, a fine topic for declamation, on the part of the precious medley called by courtesy the Opposition (shades of Fox, Windham, Sheridan, Tierney, Ponsonby, and Whitbread, what would you think of the Russell Menagerie ?) if the Government had not awaited the report about to be made by the Rushtons, Hoggs, Dwarrises, and Cock burns, before they proceeded to legislate upon the subject of inquiry. Let us not he misunderstood. We have always protested against the mode and purpose of issuing that Commission. We have had but one opinion of the qualifications of the briefless Barristers to whom the management of it was entrusted by the late Ministry. Yet we cordially approve the determi nation cf the present Administration to do nothing - until that report is laid on the table. Whether it be advisable to follow its recommendations—whether the various portions will indeed dovetail sufficiently toge ther, must be matter for future consideration. We can only for the present express our unfeigned and unqua lified approbation of the conduct of Government on that important and interesting subject. On Tuesday evening, to mention another instance of the zeal and diligence of the King's Government in preparing ne cessary measures of Reform, Sir John Campbell thought fit to ask a question of his highly-gifted suc cessor relative to the establishment of Local Courts. " Here at length—(we have no doubt the Member for Edinburgh inwardly chuckled)—here at length have I hit upon a topic which will embarrass and annoy the law-officers of the Crown." But the rejected of Dudley was mistaken. The answer of Sir Frederick Pollock is plain and unequivocal—" A measure is in contemplation, and will be speedily announced, which will be, it is trusted, satisfactory to all classes of his Majesty's subjects." Not, indeed, such a plan as was brought forward by the erratic and inconsistent ex functionary, whose loud tones of factious opposition have degenerated into a grumble about the state of the atmosphere in the new House of Lords, but a safe and efficient measure, one based upon the acknow ledged and recognised principles of British jurispru dence—a measure--need we say more in support of its claim to public confidence ?—to be devised and elaborated by a Lyndhurst, an Abinger, a Pollock, and a Follett—men who shed lustre upon the learned profession of which they are the most distinguished members. We state a simple fact when we say that we hear this observation from almost every lip— " The Opposition has done for itself." Sheridan, who knew well of what materials the Whig party is composed, said " that the Whigs would build up a wall against which to run their heads if they could not find one ready made." This prophecy has been repeatedly fulfilled to the letter ; so that we question if there exist in the world at this moment a more uninfluential and insignifiCant body than the factious antagonists of the present Ad ministration. Their own organs are even silent on their behalf, or utter at most an inarticulate growl, subsiding by degrees into a querulous murmur. We own we should not be very much surprised if the game of secession were tried by the less disreputable portion of the medley, leaving Wakley, Lushington, Gisborne, O'Connell, ‘Harvey, and Hume behind, to carry on a guerrilla warfare for the sake of annoyance. Mr. Hume has, we perceive, been at his dirty work again. His attack on Sir Robert Peel with reference to the Rath cormac affray was discreditable even to the Greek Loanmonger, and was promptly, vigorously, and sternly repelled. The Administration of Sir Robert Peel will proceed in their determined, manly, and constitutional course, looking neither to the right nor to the left, but pursuing that policy in relation equally to the eccle siastical and civil, the foreign and domestic, affairs of the country which they think most conducive to the honour of the Crown and the interest and welfare of all classes of his Majesty's subjects.—Morning Post. The Times is still mute upon the subject of Lord Londonderry's nomination to the Russian embassy. Nor has any other Tory print of the slightest preten sions to respectability ventured, so far as we know, on the desperate enterprise of justifying, or even of exte nuating, this most precipitate and ill-advised measure. We must, in fairness to Sir Robert Peel, acknowledge our belief that lie had no hand in this indecent job. We understand that a promise of the post was extorted from the Duke of Wellington before the Premier's re turn from Rome—that it was the first fruits of the new Administration, offered at the shirne of - the Holy Alliance—a compliment paid to the discrimination and taste of the Count Pozzo di Borgo I Can it be true that any public officer of this country has been appointed upon the recommendation of a foreign Court ? Is England indeed so far debased, as that her Sovereign dare not name a representative upon the Continent without consulting the index of prohi bitions kept in common by the Northern Confederacy ? The writers in the Times attempt to palliate their recent apostacy, by declaring that their only rule of conduct is their devotion to the general interests. Let us take them at their word. Who denounced more indignantly than they did the nomination of Lord Londonderry when first it became known to an asto nished public ? The whole country, they said, would " protest against it." They hinted, moreover, that if it were persevered in, they would not hesitate to pub lish the chronicle of his Lordship's memorable career at Vienna. Whither then has fled the indignation of the patriotic weathercock ? By what arts has it been appeased ? What has become of the menaced exposure, which was actually in type? From whose charmed hand has it accepted the .cup, that appears to have steeped in oblivion all its magnanimous resolutions ?. " Mea sures not men," are our motto, said the Times. Well I Here is a measure, and, God bless the mark ! here is a man—both apparently objectionable in the extreme, according to that journal—certainly so according to the opinion of every intelligent person in the country. Nevertheless, after a momentary swagger on the part of the Tinges, we hear no more of its opposition, either to the measure or the man, than if the said measure had never been thought of, or the man had ceased to be numbered amongst the living. Whence comes this reserve ? Does the Times, as its enemies insinuate, now approve of this transaction, so lately the ob ject of its bitter condemnation ? If this be tine, then we can only confess that the English lan guage furnishes no mode of diction sufficiently emphatic to anathematize the destitution of all principle, the disregard for every sentiment of honour, which such base servility of soul exhi bits. If the change of opinion have been made upon any intelligible or rational grounds, why are not those grounds announced to the people ? The explanation is due to the rank of the embassy, if not to the worth of the Ambassador—it is due to the Times itself, de graded as that journal is in public estimation—it is due, above all, to the Ministry, which it is strangling by its awkward support. If, on the .other hand, the Times still thinks that the objections to Lord London derry's appointment are insuperable, what shall we say for its regard to the public interests, when it gives those objections the " go by" rather than by agitating them to embarrass the provisional Ministry ? We must infer, as a necessary consequence, from its systematic silence, that it postpones all questions in which the interests of the community are concerned to the narrow and selfish dictates of a political coterie— that it is manacled, gagged, by the adulterous , con nexion which it has formed with the enemies of the country. We have never yet heard—we wait anxiously to learn—upon what species of pretext this memo rable appointment has been made. How can it be excused to Parliament ? The sic volo of his Grace of Wellington will not do for such a step as this. It is much too important an affair to be passed off in the shape of a compliment. The people of England, we are quite certain, will never consent to have this great and intelligent empire represented at one of the most important Courts in Europe by such a personi fication of rhodomontade as the Marquis of London derry. We have closely observed this Nobleman's conduct during the last twentv-five years, abroad and at home, and we solemnly protest that we do not know an individual throughout the long list of our feeble aristocracy more utterly unfit in every sense of the word for the office to which he has been named, than this rejected pen sionary. Will any body point out a single act of his whole life which entitles him to say that he has de served well of his country ? He has been sentenced by a man of unquestionable probity—the late Lord Liverpool—as unworthy of a retired allowance from the Treasury ; and yet he is now to be exalted above the heads of all our diplomatists, as the only man fit to be intrusted with the management of the greatest interests which, perhaps, ever yet were 'committed to the hands of a Minister. To the conduct of these great questions the Noble Lord will undoubtedly bring unbounded arrogance, unconquerable indolence, igno rance, apathy, and caprice without limits. What a crea ture to enter into intellectual conflict with such an an tagonist as Nesselrode !We can - well understand that the absence of Lord Londonderry frotn the House of Peers, for the present session at least, might be pecu liarly expedient for the new Cabinet. His Lordship must be thoroughly sensible—if his vanity permit him to comprehend his situation at all—that his senatorial displays are far from being profitable to any cause which he advocates, and that his exile has, in fact, become extremely desirable. We must agree with the Duke in thinking, that there is certainly no man in the country whose departure from our shores—even were that departure fur ever—would cost fewer tears than that of Lord Londonderry. Let him go by all means ; we would almost consent to his pension if we were sure lie would never set his foot upon our soil again. Let him go—but not to Petersbugh as our representative—nor to Vienna, where his name is too well remembered ; send him to Otaheite, where the only talents which he possesses can be duly appre ciated—where at least his conduct can give no scan dal.—Morning Chronicle. Among the notices of motions to ba acted on some short time hence in the House of Commons, is one by Lord John Russell, importing to be for the intro duction of a measure, or the adoption of a pledge, in respect of the temporalities of the Irish Church. This notice of the Noble Lord appears to have grown out of a wish to anticipate the Government in any pro ceeding which it might originate upon that critical and interesting subject. But under the circum stances of the case, we would put it to his Lord ship, whether he is preparing to act equitably by the nation (we say nothing of the Ministers), or quite consistently with his own former conduct ? What does Lord John Russell know about the temporalities of the Church of Ireland ? Is he one atom better acquainted with that question than he was ten months ago, when Mr. Ward pushed his Lordship and his colleagues to the wall, by press ing upon them the avowal of his opinion that the episcopal establishments of Ireland "exceeded the " spiritual wants of the population, and ought to " be reduced, it being the right of the state to regulate " the distribution of church property ?" What was the answer then returned by the Whig Ministers to those who urged them to the formal acknowledg ment of Mr. Ward's proposition ? Was it not that it was useless to bind Parliament to an abstract principle, which it might adopt at any time it pleased ; and that it was premature to assume the fact asserted of the ex cess of the church revenues without a previous investi gation ? That commissioners moreover had been named, expressly to examine into the financial affairs of the established church of Ireland, and its relations to the people ; and that until the report of such commis sioners should be received, the Government must be quite in the dark, and unable to legislate safely on any question connected with the ohjects of the inquiry which had thus been instituted ? In this view of the question Lord J. Russell himself concurred. Let us ask, then,—has any report been yet re ceived from the Commissioners so appointed? We believe not ; and if so, how can the Government of the present day, or the Whigs who form the Opposition, be one atom better provided with materials for legis lating upon the temporalities of the Irish Church than they were during the last Session, when the latter party—to wit, Lord John Russell and his colleagues —declared it would be impossible to act until after the report of the Commissioners ? What equity, what pretence of consistency or public honour, is there in forcing forward from the Opposition side of the House measures which, as Ministers, they had already depre cated and condemned ? When the report shall have been completed and presented, and the Ministers shall subsequently have refused to take any steps for the better appropriation of Irish ecclesiastical income, then, but not before, it may be fair and becoming for Lord John Russell and his friends to proceed, and to inter weave with a bill for the regulation of Irish temporali ties, certain clauses or expressions of which the effect would be in seine men's eyes still more valuable,— that is to say, the departure of the Conservative Mi nisters from office. Party-passion is deaf to advice, however friendly and reasonable, or such a procedure as we have here described, could never have been con ceived by a calm-tempered man like Lord John Rus sel. But time brings thought ; and though the faction is as yet rabid, it will listen to us by-and-by, when it has recovered its wits, and inevitably lost its re putation. We have already stated it as our conviction, and one which we find with regret that Sir R. Peel has not brought his mind to concur in, that after the payment of the parochial clergy of Ireland, the surplus, should there turn out to be a surplus, ought to be applied to the promotion of the Protestant religion in some dif ferent shape, of which the most obvious and impor tant would be in our judgment the spreading of reli gious and moral education throughout the country. But that is a wide subject. It will be perceived from a conversation in the House of Lords last Tuesday, that the Duke of Wellington disavows on the part of the Go vernment all present intention of proposing to Parliament the payment of the Catholic Priesthood. This is to us a matter of extreme disappointment. We cannot believe, and do not, that his Grace feels any the slightest personal reluctance to such a dispositisn of a moderate portion of the revenue. He may think he sees difficulties in the way ; that some unreasoning bigots might call it a giving countenance and assistance to Popery, at the expense, and to the danger, of the Re formed Church ; while others again, in a peddling spirit, might exclaim against such a demand upon the public money. But they are both miserably a': fault. The Priesthood, nor Popery, would not be created by a provision from the public funds : they both exist already. They exist in a form tile most menacing and injurious to the Reformed religion, by arming the minds of the whole Irish population with deadly hos tility against it. Any measure, therefore, which should reconcile the Popish Clergy to the State, and establish them on some better footing than that of connivers at disturbance, must prove a direct benefit to all the inte rests of Protestantism, ecclesiastical and civil, and be so far a substantial guarantee to the Church, instead of a risk or degradation. Much might be added as to the necessary improvement of the moral habits and personal ascendancy of the priesthood over their flocks, arising from their consciousness of an independence which they do not now enjoy, and from the introduc tion of a more respectably connected and better edu cated class of persons to fill the office of clergymen. To the short-sighted economists, who might object to such a policy on the score of expense, we shall merely say that no price can be excessive at which to purchase the elements and foundations of all national prosperity, religious peace, mutual charity, compe tent and trustworthy instructors Of the poor (which the Popish priesthood of the present day are not), and the secure possession of individual life and property. This measure of a provision for the Catholic priesthood ought strictly to have been incor- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1835, porated with the great Relief Bill of 1829, and we fear that it was suppressed only from an exaggerated apprehension of the resistance it might have met with from some of our polemical Bishops, or of the invete racy it might have excited against other portions of that bill. It is now to be seriously considered, and we press it, with all deference, upon the notice of His Majesty's Ministers, whether incalculable mischief, amounting even to future and insurmountable difficulties, in the way of such a pacification with the Romish Church of Ire land might not spring from an unnecessary delay in carrying the measure into execution. In Ireland no thing can be stationary—peace or war must be pro gressive. If the hatred of sect and party go on in creasing as they have done, the priest must keep pace with the universal movement. A little more will make him pledge himself against the acceptance of any in come from the state, which would be the only means of real approximation between them, and then adieu to every hope of the government of Ireland but by arms.— Times. should, however, for fourteen days check the infe •tion of their example. • The couple requested that the parish would be so good as to try them once more, and assured the Lord Mayor that if he would intercede for them they would take their oaths never to drink a drop of gin again. The LORD MAYOR—You shall have some good sharp work in Bridewell, by way of removing the bad effects of the hard bouts you have both had, and I shall increase the punishment upon every future complaint. A young woman named Chapman, who had very much the appearance of a gypsey, was brought up, charged by an old tattered evil-looking harridan with having stolen a red shawl. The complainant stated that last January the prisoner stole her shawl and pawned it. The LORD MAYOR—How do you know that she stole it ? Complainant—Oh, she robbed me before. She's a terrible rogue. The LORD MAYOR—And why didn't you get her taken up long ago ? Complainant—Because I never could find her before. There never was, so far as we recollect and be lieve, a period of such. extraordinary contentment as the present. We, who are upon the Opposition side, are perfectly satisfied with our position ; but the con tentment of the Tories reaches even to the third hea ven. The boast of ,the French Marshals, who con ducted the inglorious campaigns of Louis XV. in Germany, some 70 or 80 years ago, that " although they had lost many battles, and gained no victories, yet that they had made many splendid retreats," is a mere trifle to the unparalleled rejoicings of the Tories upon their repeated defeats. They were beaten upon the Speakership, and they rejoiced that the majority against them was not more numerous. They were beaten upon the Address, and they gloried in their de feat, and claimed it as a victory. Next came the ap pointment of the Chairman of Committees to the House of Commons ; and dreading the joy of another defeat, they actually proposed the Whig Candidate. How many more victories and consequent feasts of joy are yet in store for them, we must leave to be re vealed by the grand truth-teller, Time, who spares not even opinions or parties. They bring to mind the days of the past, when worsted politicians were— " For their beating ving thanks."---Morning Adver. gi The LORD MAYOR—That's odd, for I am informed that she is to be seen every night in Bishopsgate-street. Com plainant—No, my Lord. I have been looking after her ever since, and never could find her till last night. The prisoner—My Lord, she might have seen me every day and night since she said I robbed her. I never robbed her, my Lord, and she knows perfectly well that she is swearing falsely. lam not a thief, although lam unfor tunate. Several of the officers said that the prisoner was to be seen every night in the street, and that she never attempted to get out of the way. The LORD MAYott—There is more in this than meets the eye. From what I have learned there is a regular set against this poor girl, but she shall not fall a victim. lam convinced that every word this old woman has said is false. The girl is discharged, and let the old woman take care not to appear before me again. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. .Mark Brady, , a sailor, was indicted for assaulting Ro bert Dixon, with intent to wound and disable him. A second count charged the prisoner with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. Robert Dixon—l am a mariner, and belonged to the Mercury coal brig. The prisoner was also one of the crew. On the 22d of October myself, brother, and the prisoner were at a public-housc.. in King James's-stairs, Ratcliffe highway. Some words ensued, and I was assaulted by the prisoner. I afterwards returned to the vessel, which was lying in the river, and after being on board I inquired down the hatchway who was below ? The prisoner replied, " I am here," and asked me to come down. I refused, when the prisoner rushed up the hatchway and struck me with a handspike on the head. I fell down in a state of insensibi lity. I was carried to the hospital, where I remained for 17 weeks. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—There had been some words between us. My brother and myself did not strike the prisoner at the same time. We struck him at different times, and fought for some minutes. Wm. Parry, the cook of the vessel, corroborated the pro secutor's statement. The prisoner, in his defence, admitted having struck the blow, but it was in consequence of the aggravation which he had received. He had been in custody for a period of 19 weeks. Lord ABINGEIt summed up the evidence, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. James Seivel pleaded Guilty to embezzling the sum of 20/.. the monies of his father. Mr. Doa NE stated that the prisoner was incorrigible. He had formed an unfortunate intimacy with a " lady." The father was a man of unquestionable character, and it was naturally most painful to him. The COMNION SERGEANT observed that no distinction could be made in the punishment through the respectability of his family. Samuel Hayes and Henry Booth were indicted for steal ing fifteen sovereigns and twelve shillings, the property of Thomas Bickley, from his person, in the borough of South wark, on the 12th of February. Thomas Bickley examined—l went to the City on the Thursday before the 12th of February, and on coming home over London Bridge I met a country-looking man, as I thought, who said he came from the country to look for a lad who had stolen some money from his father, and was going off to America. He said he was tired, and wished to have a pint of beer. I said I also wished for a pint of beer, and so we went' to the sign of the King's Head and had it. There he told me a long story about the quantity of bank notes he had ; he pulled them out, and said he would give some money to any one who would show as many sovereigns as the notes. I, fool-like, pulled out my fifteen sovereigns— (Laughter)—he placed them in a piece of paper, as he said for safety in my pocket, but it afterwards turned out that the parcel only contained some penny-pieces. A policeman asked me afterwards if I had lost my money ? I said I had not, for I did not then know how I had been cheated so. It was at the police-office that I found, in looking over the parcel which was so carefully packed up for me, it con tained only a few halfpence and penny-pieces.—(Laughter.) That was foolish enough I own, but so it was. I paid dear enough for my beer. I were not well all the evening. I were tired. The story took my taste, and I enjoyed the beer. I must say the truth that I was not sober all this time, but for a certainty I were not drunk.—(Laughter.) The prisoners were acquitted. SPRING ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—READING, 1114RcH 3. The business of these assises commenced at the Town Hall in this town yesterday morning. The calendar con tained 48 prisoners for trial. Very few civil causes were entered. Mr. Justice J. PARKE presided in the Nisi Prius Court. This morning Thomas Gray, aged 17, and Charles Wise, aged 17, who stood indicted with having committed the most aggravated assault upon Eleanor Harding, on the 22d ult., at Winkfield, in this county, were tried before the Hon. Sir J. COLERIDGE. Mr. Ferrard, the Counsel for the prisoners, took an ob• jection to the indictment, which was met by Mr. Curwood, the Counsel for the prosecution, and the trial proceeded. After the evidence of Eleanor Harding, the prosecutrix, 15 years of age, and George Davis, a farmer's lad, many respectable farmers gave each of the prisoners an excellent character, having known them from infancy. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The beadle of Bishopsgate parish complained against a military pensioner and his wife, who are, together with their two children, dependant upon parochial bounty. The description given of the husband and wife caused no small degree of curiosity. The pensioner had for some time been under obligations to the parish, and although brought up to the trade of shoemaking could not be prevailed upon. to work. His helpmate assisted him, and they had both of them so im moderate a passion for gin that the woman actually en deavoured to induce a publican to keep one of the children in pledge for a quartern. On Saturday last the parish officers, with a kindness for which the authorities of this parish arc distinguished, took a lodgir , for the family, fur nished it with a flock bed, for which they give five shillings, chairs for which they gave a shilling each, and whatever else was considered necessary, and, handing to the couple the sum of fourteen shillings, desired them to economise and be industrious. On Monday the room was completely gutted. The bed had been sold for sixpence, the chairs for twopence each ; the pensioner was found drunk in the kennel, and a few hours afterwards the wife was carried to the same station-house without shoes, having pledged her shoes, stockings, and cloak to supply herself with her darling beverage. Dick, a policeman, knew the woman well, and by the di rection of the parish authorities watched her. He saw her leave her lodgings in the evening, turn into the first public house she came to, and throw off a glass of Old Tom. Upon coming out she looked about, and then walked down the street, but she made a dead stand when she reached the next public place of refreshment. After a minute's delay she kicked open the door, and from the smacking of her lips when she reappeared, the witness judged that she had been tasting the article again. Away she went, apparently with the intention of going about her business, but she proved to be altogether incapable of resisting the talismanic influence of the ginshop. The Beadle said that bad as the man was, the woman was infinitely worse. The children must with such a father and mother actually starve, so that it was determined that the poor little wretches should be placed under a nurse in the work-house. They were almost naked, for their mother had pledged every stitch for which she could get anything. The LORD MAYOR had never heard of such a desperate case of gin mania in his life, and he feared that his authority would have very little effect upon the perpetrators. He G UILDHALL. Yesterday Emma Weaver, a Welsh girl, who had been lately defrauded of a sovereign by the old trick of ring dropping, was brought before Mr. Alderman PIRIE for at tempting to get rid of her bargain by repeating the trick on somebody else. Elijah West, the City toll taker in Aldersgate-street, about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon went into a public house to get some refreshment, leaving a man named Ratty to collect the toll in his absence. In a few minutes Ratty called him out, and said the prisoner wished to speak with him. Having no recollection of her, he asked what her business was, and she said she had just been relating to Ratty that she had picked up a prize, producing a very trumpery pair of gilt ear-rings, a mourning-ring, and a wedding-ring, wrapped up in tissue paper, with a bill, in which the articles were set down as of the value of 5!. 18s. 6d., while, in fact, they would be dear at 2s. 6d. She said also that she overheard from a conversation be tween two gentlemen that the articles had been lost, and a reward of three guineas had been advertised for them in a morning newspaper. " Well," said complainant, " then the best thing that can be done' is to take them home, and get the three guineas." She replied she had no time to see about it, as she was going to Wales imme diately, in consequence of her father's illness. He then asked her what her business was with him ? She said she wished him to try to sell them, or to purchase them himself. They should go a dead bargain—only a sovereign. He understood the value of the jewellery, and believing she was a great rogue, and common duffer, though her mien was artless, he called in a policeman, and gave her in charge for attempting to impose upon him. Fortunately for her, Inspector Martin of the City Police identified her as having a few days ago called at the sta tion-house to describe how she had purchased these rings, and to learn what they were really worth, as she discredited some friends who told her they were worthless. She had therefore probably thought that she should not commit a sin if she should get back her money by the same device as she lost it. She was delivered up to the care of her uncle. BOW-STREET. Yesterday William Staveley, Esq., residing at 19, Albe marle-street, Piccadilly, was brought before Messrs. MlN stiuLL and HALLS, charged with a very violent assault upon Anne Stevens, a young female, living in Beaufort buildings. The defendant is an elderly man of stout and comely appearance, and was some time ago charged with threatening to shoot Sir Edward Sugden, the present 'Chancellor of Ireland. The Magistrates, after some conversation, fined the de fendant 51., the full penalty, and gave him leave to speak to the prosecutrix. The parties retired, and the defendant paid the Si., and made compensation to the complainant. HA TTON- GARDEN. Yesterday, James Thorozighgood and William Waller, lads about fifteen years old, who were genteelly attired, but with the regular cut of young thieves, were brought before the Magistrates in the custody of Holt, a constable of the N division, charged by Mr. Augustus Haines, linen-draper, of High-street, on suspicion of riming stolen a gown. Waddington, the gaoler, on seeing the prisoners, imme diately recognised them as old offenders, and gave a ludi crous description of their manoeuvres in the art of swind ling and robbery. There were three of them, he said, in the gang, and they were known by the appellation of the " Kinchin (young) swell mob," in consequence of the " natty" and flash style of their dress. They all bore a strong resemblance towards each other, and were always dressed exactly alike, so that it was difficult to distinguish the one from the other. by which means they evaded the LW, as it was impossible to identify either of them. One or two of them would enter a shop under pre tence of purchasing something, and while the attention of the parties serving would be occupied something was sure to be " fingered" and " dinged" to their companion outside, and if ever any of them happened to be‘taken into custody the whole three of them would meet together, and thus " bother" the brains of the witness, who would find it .a matter of conscientious difficulty to identify the " real thief," and they escaped justice. One of the prisoners, whilst Wad dington was giving this description, lolled indolently against the wall, with his hands in his pockets and his " tile cocked," whilst his companion looked and smiled. Baylis, the officer, said they were very genteel looking lads. " Lord bless you," said Waddington, " I could tell in a moment they were thieves by the cock & their gib ; I should like to know what Lawater would say on 'em if he was here. They are too much o' the flashy sort for me. They know what I say is true. The bigger one they call their brother, and these here call themselves the twins," and its a pity all the shopkeepers in London don't know 'em." The prisoners in this jostance were equally fortunate, as there being no positive evidence against them they were liberated, with a caution not to show their faces on any future occasion. QUEEN-SQUARE. Joseph Humphries ,was brought up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr. Wittrx, charged with stealing a valuable greyhound from the premises of George Cannon, Esq., of Kennington-lane, Surrey. Richard Lamb, a coachman, stated that he met the prisoner yesterday afternoon near Oakley-street, Lambeth, leading the greyhound by a handkerchief. He knew the animal again from its peculiar size, and as he considered it to have been stolen from Mr. Cannon, whose name and address were on the collar, he gave him into the custody of a police constable of the L division, who took him to the station-house. Mr. Cannon proved that the greyhound was his property. The intrinsic value of the animal was 56, and it had been stolen from him not less than three times during the last fort night. Mr. WRITE ordered the prisoner to pay the sum of 51., the value of the dog, and fined him 201. for stealing the dog. In default of payment he was committed to Brixton House of Correction for two months. MARYLEB ONE. Joseph Collins and William James Thompson, two young men attired in ragged sailors' dresses, were yesterday placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with stealing a horse and cart, value 301., the property of Mr. John. Spells, landlord of the White Horse, South Minster, Essex. Police constable, S 200, deposed that on the previous after noon, he received information that two men' of suspicious ap pearance were stay in g at the Cricketers' Arms, St. John's Wood-road, having arrived there on Monday night, with a horse and cart, supposed to be stolen, which they had put up at Mr. Arnold's liver y stables adjoining. Witness, in conse quence, proceeded to the house in question, and found th e prisoners in the ta p -room. He questioned them as to how they became possessed of the horse and cart, (on the latter of which was the name of John Spells, South Minster, Essex,) when Thompson replied that it belonged to his brother-in-law, by whom he was employed. Having ascertained that one of the prisoners had offered the horse for sale, he took th em b o th into custody , an d on searching Thompson found a letter ad dressed to Mr. Spell, the contents of which are as follows : " March, 3, 1835. Sir, —DO not alarm yourself about your horse and cart, which are safe at the Cricketers, St. John's Wood, London. No blame is attached to the poor sailor whom y ou s h e lt ere d in your stable on Sunday night. " W. J. WILLIAMS." Charles Cook, stableman to Mr. Arnold, stated that the prisoner brought the horse and cart into hi s mas t er ' s y ar d on Monday night , a nd asked him if he could bait the horse till the following day, when he replied in the affirmative. The next morning Thompson, after saying that it was the property of his brothe r-in-law, asked him if he would buy the horse, which he should have for 91. 9s. Witness said he thought that was too much, when the prisoner, having considered a long time, said, " Well, give me five sovereigns, and it's yours." Witness was just then called away, and nothing more passed on the subject. There being no further evidence, the prisoners were asked if they had anything to say, when Thompson entered into a rambling account, - the substance of which was as follows : He was a sailor belonging to the brig Nina, which a short time ago set sail from Ireland with a cargo of oats, bound for Scarborough. They had not been long at sea, however, be fore he experienced such ill-treatment from the Captain, whose name is Novell, that he resolved to run away, which he did in an open boat, and after beating about for two or three days, ar rived on Saturday last a little below Gravesend, where he landed, and giving the boat into the care of some of the Coast Guard, proceeded into Essex. On the road he met with Mr. Spell, who, having heard his story, took him home and allowed him to sleep in his stable. He remained there all the next day, and on Sunday night, knowing that he had some friends in London, he put the horse to the cart and rode towards town ; when within five miles of Whitechapel church he overtook his fellow-prisoner whom he requested to get alongside. He had never offered to dispose of the horse, and wrote the letter to Mr. Spell to tell him where to find his property. His reason for signing his name " Williams," was because he should not be suspected. The other prisoner corroborated this statement as far as re garded himself. Mr. RAwLINsoN, after remarking that Thomson appeared to possess a great deal of art and impudence, ordered both prisoners to be remanded till Wednesday next for the attend ance of Mr. Spell. TO WN-HALL. Yesterday Anne Leicester, a young woman apparently in great distress, with three children, the eldest about six years of age, applied to Alderman Ansley for his advice under the following distressing circumstances : The applicant stated that she and her children resided at 36, Gun-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road ; her husband was and had been in the liospital ten weeks, for upwards of eight of which period she supported herself and children. Being driven by distress, she applied to her parish, St. George the Martyr, Southwark, and had seen the officers, and afterwards the committee. After a lengthened inquiry, and finding her self and children had obtained a legal settlement, they gave her sixpence and a loaf, which was to be continued twice a week. The applicant added, that such small relief was inadequate for the support of herself and young children, and she was sa very destitute (having parted with all her things) she could not pay for a lodging, and upon importuning them to take the chil dren into the workhouse until their father came out of the hos pital they refused; she therefore begged the Alderman would give directions fur the overseers to take them into the house. Alderman ANSLEY—My poor woman, since the introduction of the New Poor Laws Bill, Magistrates have now no power to assist paupers, or make orders on parish officers. The Alderman here handed to the reporter a letter which had been received from the Poor Law Commisrioners, Ad dressed to the sitting Magistrates. The following is a copy : " TO THE SITTING MAGISTRATES, TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK. " Poor Laws Commissioners'-ofilee, Somerset-house. " Sir,—A female pauper, named Mary Wood, delivered the inclosed paper at this office this morning, stating that she had been desired to do so by the sitting Magistrate at the Town hall, Southwark. " The Poor Law Commissioners for England and Wales do not doubt there is some mistake in this matter, as the law is known to eNonerate them from the duty of attending to parti cular and individual cases in which relief may be demanded, but they have thought better to transmit the paper to you, in the hope you will he good enough to direct any person at the Town-hall, Southwark, not again to refer pauper applicants to this office. " By order of the Board, " E. CHADWICK, Secretary. " To the Sitting Magistrate." Alderman ANSLEY told the unfortunate woman that the perusal of that letter would satisfy any one how Magistrates were now disarmed by the Poor Law Commissioners, and he did hope this case would meet the eye of some Member of Parliament, and bring the subject before the Legislature. A gentleman in the office said instead of the Bill being for the benefit of the poor it was intended for the profit of the un dertaker. The scenes 'of misery and starvation daily to be seen at workhouse doors were the strongest testimony of his assertion. The poor woman wept bitterly, and left the office accompa. nied by her pOor babes, amidst the commisseration of all pre. sent in the Justice-room. ROYAL INSPECTION OF • THE MO DEL OF ST. STEPHEN'S CHAPEL. An exquisitely-finished model of the splendid chapel of St. Stephen, as it would appear if perfectly restored, has been executed by Mr. Cottingham, the restorer of Rochester Ca thedral, and the cathedral of Armagh. The proportions are all from actual admeasurement, and the restorations of the mouldings, tracery, and all the ornamental parts of the ar chitecture, is upon the authority of existing specimens of this beautiful structure, which have escaped the devastating effects of time, of fire, and the still more destructive violence of barbarous hands, whose unhallowed labours prove that in the nineteenth century England has her Vandals, who take a ma lignant pleasure in destroying the works of ancient art and ge nius which are associated with the proudest recollections in the annals of England's glory. Yesterday, Mr. Cottingham had, by appointment, the ho nour of submitting the model to their Majesties for inspec tion. He was introduced by Lord Howe, and a party of distin guished persons connected with the Court were present. Their Majesties inspected the model with great attention, and seemed somewhat surprised that so beautiful and perfect a restoration could be made of a building which presents the ruinous appearance that it does at present, and which is still worse than when their Majesties saw it immediately after the fire that burnt down the House.; of Parliament, but which was capable of making but little impression on the ancient walls and almost adamantine crypt of St. Stephen's Chapel. We are sorry to say that actual violence has since that event been committed on those splendid remains which some persons employed about the department of the " Woods and Forests" are anxious to have utterly destroyed, as they rebuke the "poverty of their own taste" in architecture, as Sir Edward Cust has it, and, opulent in the varied excellence of elevated art, look down with disdain on their gimcrack works. The King, having examined the model very minutely, asked several questions, which showed the great interest his Majesty took in the subject. He expressed his admiration at seeing the beautiful construction of the windows as originally fitted up, of which only the magnificent arches now remain. Those windows are peculiar to this chapel, resembling, in some points, only three other specimens in the world; one at Co logne, another at Antwerp, and the third at Strasburg. The King inquired particularly into the history of the chapel, and was told that no part of the existing structure was built in the reign of King Stephen, as is generally supposed ; that the crypt, with its noble groined roof, that withstood and flung off the flames and molten furnace of the late conflagration, was built by Edward the First, but the building, was inter rupted in consequence of his going to the wars in Scotland. His death and the troubles of Edward the Second's reign pre vented any further progress in the structure until the acces sion of Edward the Third to the throne. That Monarch, in the fourth year of his reign, determined to go on with the building, and to make it the most splendid thing of the sort not only in England but Europe. All the chapel above the crypt, which now forms the Speaker's dining room, was built in his reign and mostly under his personal inspection. At this time the massiveness and severity of the earlier English or Gothic architecture had been exchanged for a style more elegant, graceful, and ornate ; but still more chaste in its de corations than the very florid style that succeeded it. Of this decorated but chaste style of ancient English architecture the chapel of St. Stephen was not only a perfect, but an unique specimen. There was nothing else like it in the kingdom. The mouldings, the panel work, and cornices were wrought with peculiar and deep undercuttings, so as to produce a bolder relief of light and shade than in any other ecclesiastical struc ture of " the olden time" that we have. The mullions of the windows, too, were so constructed as to produce a singular beauty of effect ; all which the model expresses, so as to be a perfect miniature of the original. Their Majesties were much interested with the door of a secret passage in the wall of the Hall of William Rufus, adjoining the chapel, and through which Henry VIII. went when he saw Archbishop Cran mer repulsed from the Council-chamber. The King asked Mr. Cottingham whether he intended this model for public exhibition ? He informed his Majesty that his object was to show how completely the chapel in which his Majesty's glorious ancestor, the hero of Cressy and Poictiers, along with his Queen Philippa and Edward the Black Prince, returned his thanksgivings to Heaven after returning from his conquests in France, could be restored. With that view he intended to exhibit it gratuitously at his residence to the Members of both Houses of Parliament, and others who are admirers of our ancient sacred architecture and anxious for its preservation. His Majesty said emphatically, "So beautiful a building ought not to perish. It is my hope and my wish that it may be restored." We formerly mentioned the elaborate drawings which Mr. Adam Lee made of the interior of the chapel, with all its paintings and decorations, which cost him the labours and re searches of 25 years. These, we believe, he also intends to exhibit ; so that the materials for the perfect restoration of this incomparable gem of our ancient sacred architecture are com plete, and will be shortly under the eye of the public. RYDE.—The quiet of this fashionable watering place has this week been disturbed by an untoward event, which occurred in consequence of a drunken squabble which took place at the Kent Hotel about four or five o'clock on Thursday morning. The Kent Hotel was the head -quarters of the Tory faction ; and on the morning in question, some of the non-electors, who had rendered themselves conspic u ous during the election, having been sacrificing rather freely to the jolly god, an altercation ensued between Mr. Johnson and Sir Richard Hennage, who accidentally joined the party. The former applied certain terms to Sir Richard and his friends, who are stanch reformers, and refused to apologize, at the same time adding a challenge to his former aggravating behaviour. Sir Richard Hennage requested the services of Mr. Hawtrey as his second, and Mr. Johnson selected Mr. Belford. On Sir Richard's arriving on the ground, he found the other party absent; and after waiting an hour and a half, returned to Ryde. It appears, however, that Mr. Johnson had to procure his pistols, &c., from Lake, about seven miles from Ryde, and finding that he had no balls, remained to cast them, sending his second to state the cause of the delay to the party on the ground, who had left previous to his arrival. By this time the affair had reached the knowledge of the Magis trates, and Capt. Brigstock, R. N., took the necessary means of binding over the parties to keep the peace. We have much pleasure in adding that although bound over to keep the peace, Mr. Johnson, with that proper feeling which should ever cha racterize educated men, lost no time in tendering the most am ple apology to Sir Richard, which the latter accepted and ac knowledged in a most handsome note. The affair has thus amicably terminated.—Brighton Guardian. THE MARKETS. COAL MARI d Per Ton, Adair s 17 3 Bradley, Stanhope, and Co 14 (1 flolyweil l9 0 Ord s Itedhugh 1( 0 Pontop Windsot ...

CONFESSION OF MURDER.—A letter has been f)rwarded from the Magistrates of Bow-street Office, Londerl; to the Town Clerk of Hull, requesting the authorities of t h ° o place to afford any information that may throw light ea t i t following circumstances :—The Magistrates in qu estion , be appears, have received a statement from Hobart Town , t° t effect that a man named Jackson, who it is asserted was tree ported for life in pursuance of a conviction for horse - st eal l at York Assizes, on Bth April, 1833, has confessed that tvre three years before, 13th April, 1834, (at which period his ,4 fession is dated), he robbed and murdered a farmer, lient;, Joseph Raikes, at some town near Hull, the name of whie,' l , not mentioned. On referring to the newspaper reports trials at York at the April Assizes, 1833, we do not find tbbt any prisoner named William Jackson was convicted for he stealing ; but that a man named John Jackson pleaded P il o to a charge of burglary, and was sentenced to be transio. r , e l for life. There is probably some error in the name trans g o d to Bow-street. We should hope that the story of the alielsof murder has been fabricated by the convict for the purf 4s rr e c tl procuring his return to England ; such cases having °cell, its before amongst transported felons. If there be any.trutn it the man's confession, perhaps the publicity we now give 064, may be the means of procuring information upon the O b i t if any of our readers should be aware that such a perso n s i g , n o Joseph Raikes mentioned by the convict was really missed "" his family at the time stated. —Hull Packet.
