SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. end of a long and laborious tenure of office. Even bodily infirmity, unless of such an extent' as, to amount to total incapacity, will not avail them ; and by a too rigid adherence to this rule, it has happened that very painful exhibitions, bordering on incapacity, have been witnessed. But let us descend several stages lower in the seale . of office, and ask how many poor clerks, to bring about a necessary, but in some in stances useless, economy, have been turned adrift nennyless, or with pittances incapable of providing for common wants, but who had dedicated their lives :to the public service, and relied upon its justice in return. Viewed in either of these lights, and in more of a simi lar bearing which will readily present themselves, may we not confidently ask, was Mr. Abercromby's pension any thing but a job ? Did he receive it in any other capacity but as a party man ? And, if it is allowed to continue, how many pensionless clerks and servants of the public are there who will have a right to coin plai❑ that, in their case, any thing but equal justice ' has been administered ?—Morning Herald. The question of the Spcakership is one which wc do not like ;, but when .men of honour and character are unnecessarily brought into the field, such as Mr. Tennyson, as persons who are determined to vote fot Mr. Abereromby-, and not Sir C. M. Sutton, i► is our bounden duty to expose the lies, to which, in their des peration, the Tories are bound to have recourse. A letter appeared in this paper on Saturday last—a very useless letter we must say, inasmuch as the contradic tion had previously appeared, of which the . following is a repeated copy : To the EDITOR of the MORNING ADVERTISER. " Sir—A paragraph (arising either from misunderstanding or the device of the enemy) having appeared in several of the daily papers, calculated to produce the impression that the Right Honourable Charles Tennyson, from some domestic af fiction, will be prevented attending the dinner on Monday next, at the Horns, Kennington, to. celebrate that gentleman's return for the borough of Lambeth, I beg, as one of the Stew ards for that dinner, that you will insert this, in positive con tradiction of that paragraph. The Right Hon. Member has written to his Chairman, Samuel Palmer, Esq., and will cer tainly be in London this evening. " Several Members of Parliament have been written to, and the following have promised to attend :—Sir Samuel Whalley, Major Beauclerk, Colonel Evans, Messrs. Wilks, Williams, and Humphery, and many others are expected, from whom no answers have at present been received. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble Servant, THOS. B. BARKER. " East-street, Walworth, Feb. 14, 1835." _ . So it appears that the partisans of the Whig-Radi cals affect to treat the incorporation of O'Connell and Jiis Irish repealers with the expected Whig Adminis tration, as a matter not worth any serious thought. All that we can say is, that if it he a joke, it is by far the most lUgubrious that the country was ever called upon to laugh at. It is said that O'Connell will never he able to carry the Repeal of the Union by means •of an English party or an English Parliament... But is it not fact, a fact not .merely avowed, but solemnly and ostentatiously insisted on, by the agitator, that he will revive his a g itation for the Repeal of the Union he moment' the "higs come again into power ? Is not a fact that at the same time he will be himself 4 - candidate " for office" under the dame Ministry ; which,-we '6ve O'Connell's word for it, and on this ceasion it would not be his interest to say as much if •t were a Falsehood, will consist of two-thirds Radicals? Now, it is not merely O'Connell's assertion which reads us to believe in the truth of these avowals. The position of parties—and of the agitator himself—is a pledge for the reality of the prospects - which his cun ning leads him thus publicly to anticipate. The Whip are , numerically weaker in this Parliament 'than the Destructives, of- whom O'Connell stands the chief. .The Whigs have less of the energy of character, and none of the desperation by which the Destructives are infuriated. lii-the last Parliament, when their " following," as contradistinguished from that, both of the Conservatives and Destructives, was much stronger than it now is, every day's proceedings in the House of Commons only proved the pitiable subserviency of the Whig Ministers to the faction which was inces santly driving, pushing, or trampling them. Lcrd Althorn's vacillations from hour to hour were the com mon theme of every man's wonder and pity. 'Whet prevailed on Mr. Littleton to make the King's Cabinet a political client of O'Connell ? What induced the Chief Secretary to try the wretched game of shaking hands with the would-be subverter of the British empire, instead of grappling him by the throat? Nothing, cer tainly, but fear of his power,—nothing but a persuasion which must operate still more forcibly upon the Whigs, now enfeebled by an adverse election, and by expulsion from office, than upon the same Whigs in their more flourishing and palmy state, viz. that O'Connell's sup port, nay, his patriarchal protection, is necessary to them —that they cannot do without him—that he must make his own terms—be it the admission of ten ultra-Radi cals into a cabinet of fifteen members—be it the entire overthrow of the Established Church in Ireland, as well as of the tithe system in both countries—be it, finally, the Repeal of the Union itself, if not as a mea sure to be ostensibly recognised as one, at least to be silently meditated, or to be left open, like the Catholic Bill, for discussion, until some favourable moment shall 'arrive, when our colonies, together with Ireland, may be turned over to the blessings of " self.government;" an equitable adjustmynt,' and the " rights of industry," are planted on the ruins of capital ; the ballot be established for the shelter of hypocrisy and crime; and universal suffrage and annual Pa - rliaments, in unnatural league with a Roruish Church of Ireland, bring back a state of govermnent, intelligence, morals, and civil society incapable perhaps of handing down a record of its own existence by any means more authentic than tradition. Since every act of the confederated Oppo sition now proves the leading part to which O'Connell is destined, and that not merely an office, but anN office in the Cabinet, save only (until a new bill shall be passed) the keepership of the Royal con science, will be at the beck of him who heads by far the stronger section of the allied forces, it behoves the people of England to look about them a little, and consider what they really have to expect. To talk of O'Connell not being " able" to - do this or that, not being " suffered" to execute this or that mischievous project, is pure drivelling. He will be suffered to do whatever he pleases. Who in a Whig Cabinet will stand before him ? It is not alone the bustling, im bposing, indefatigable activity of this adventurer, guided y his experience and skilful trickery ; but while the Whig noblemen and gentlemen, his partners are ob structed in their share of the revolutionary movement, by aristocratic and honourable scruples, by a sense of honour towards the Sovereign, and a strong hereditary attachment to our institutions, O'Connell and his myrmidons will scorn all these. They will fight un encumbered by any conscientious baggage. O'Con nell, whom these inefficient but well meaning Whig gentlemen flatter themselves with making an instrument to serve their purposes (their purposes, God help .them I), are the common laughing stock of the wily old Agitator and his confidants, for their cre dulous and dove-like simplicity. One of our con temporaries says with much naivete, in allusion to this bed-fellowship of the Whigs with O'Connell, whom " misfortune has brought" thus familiarly acquainted, that honest men and knaves must sometimes travel by the same road when they have a " common purpose." Ay, but have the honest men here a common purpose with the rogues ? Is the total destruction of the Church a " common" purpose ? Is the repeal of the Union a " common" purpose ? Is abhorrence of England a " common" sentiment ? for it is that which avowedly predominates in the breast of O'Connell. We should the more lament this al liance, so disgraceful to the Whigs, if we could ima gine that by their accession to office it would be emi nently disastrous to the country. But we speak our frank opinion in declaring that we do not believe such an opportunity will soon arise of illustrating the ex treme and frightful evils, inseperable from O'Con nell, as Premier ruling in the name of Lord Mel bourne or Lord Spencer. We do not believe the Peel Administration is destined to a speedy overthrow, because we entertain as strongly as ever the opinion that it will conciliate the support of both press and people, by governing in the spirit of honest and en lightened reform—the sole condition, because the only just condition, on which any Minister can henceforth stand, or will dare to attempt the government of the British nation. In the mean time the Whig Radidals are playing a desperate game with their -Speaker : if they lose it, they are lost themselves ; it is a blow which they never can recover. The best of them, as an aggregate faction, is known. All the world knows the best of their wisdom, the best of their virtue, the best of their statesmanlike and practical efficiency. We have all, the most candid of us, 'been balked, after the passing of the Reform Bill . itself, by the inconsistency between the promises of the Whig Cabinets and their performance. Hence the small interest the people ge nerally felt in their fate. On the other hand, the worst of the Tories is the most familiar to the public. A Conservative Government has never yet been triec under the harness of, a reformed system of representa tion.—Times. The more our attention is directed to the Aber cromby pension, the more indefensible does it appear. Every pensioner is per se a sinecurist ; and the honest dispenser of a pension, therefore, will take care that the country receives a quid pro quo for its annuity. How does this rule apply in the case of the late Chief Baron of Scotland—of whom, by the bye, there are two—both pensioners ? We believe there is not a shadow of doubt but that in Sir Samuel Shepherd's time the office had been found to be nearly useless ; and that Mr. Abercromby was appointed with the full knowledge, both on the part of the Whigs and the Duke of Wellington, that it was a mere sinecure, and would be abolished. But let us take it otherwise, and assume, for the sake of argument, that its inutility was the discovery of its new possessor, and that he has the merit and self devotion of having recommended its abo lition, greatly to his own loss. Was there no other way of rewarding Mr. Abereromby's arduous labours of 17 months, or of compensating his loss, than by giving him a life income equal to that which, with the excep tion ()Nile Lord Chancellor, is given to a professional life of the longest and the hardest labour ? Was there no other office to which Mr. Abercromby's valuable labours could be transferred ? No way in which this enormous pension mi ; 2lit be saved to the country ? No vacancy 'on of the Court of Session? None of the , legal inquiry of which he might liavi g bet ? No ;it was necessary 4 .•1 . that: 1 -_-) eistiTO m mould return, like a giant re • ~ I ot . . • , frejte l d; ,113 / i / °rough of Caine. But aim pare,Ahrexci* .

The Standard quotes the above letter as having simply appeared in the columns of the Morning Chro nicle, though it must have known that the contradic tion, upon the essential point, had previously appeared in those of the Advertiser—and from them in the Sun, Globe, Chronicle, and other papers. But the comment upon . the letter is the thing I And here it is : " All that we can learn from this is," says the Standard, " that Mr. Tennyson will be in town this evening, except, perhaps, we may add, that Sir Samu4, Whaley, Major Bcau clerk, Colonel Evans, Messrs. Wilks, Williams, and Hum. phery, are also to be in town before Monday, a matter doulit 7 less of great importance to the public. With respect to Mr. Tennyson's vote, Mr. Barker's letter says not one word ; if that gentleman adheres to his promise, we suspect that his appearance in the House of Commons on Thursday next will be the reverse of agreeable to the O'Connell conspirators. The whole muster, then, that the Morning Chronicle is able to make in support of its exultation, is proof that Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey will not do what no man living ever expected him to do ; and an assurance that Mr. Tennyson will probably be in his place in the House of Commons on Thursday, to do that which we believe there is no doubt he has promised to do, namely, vote for Sir Charles Manners Sutton !" Now, this is something like a great lie indirect on the part of the Standard—a lie gathered from a quarter to which no pledge was given—and a lie in the face of private i declarations which we have published, and which have been copied into every paper which sees the sun of Parliamentary reading ; but, in order to put our cotemporary right—supposing him to be un knowingly wrong—we beg to state that Mr. Tennyson will not be found wanting in any particular cause—, that he will not vote for a Tory Speaker, when a Whig Speaker is in the field, as he stated two years ago— and that there is no greater folly than that of imagining that he would be guilty of such an aberration of in tellect. We give elsewhere an abstract of the Speech delivered by the Right Honourable Gentleman at the last election of Sir C. M. Sutton ;—and if any ene can draw an inference from it, they must see at once how he will vote on Thursday next at twelve o'clock. We pledge not this journal, but we pledge something more valuable to us—we pledge our individual honour that he will vote for Mr. Abercromby. This day a dinner is to be given to Mr. Tennyson by his consti tuents in Lambeth, and a noble assembly it will be. Upwards of 300 electors have pledged themselves to be present, and the invited guests who have promised to attend are so numerous that the Committee, on Friday last, stopped the admissions and sale of tickets. This is a just tribute to merit, and Mr. Tennyson is not the man to play false to his friends. At the same time, we must say that he will sacrifice much indivi dual feeling, for the sake of the public interest, in voting for Mr. Abercromby.---Morning Advertiser. • We have great satisfaction in being enabled to state that no doubt whatever remains of the triumphant re election of Sir Charles Manners Sutton to the Chair of the House of Commons. According to the least, sanguine computation which could be made yesterday by persons in possession of the fullest and most accurate information, as to the determination of Members, the majority in favour of the late Speaker will not be less than fifty. We believe. that it will very considerably exceed that number ; and the ground of our belief, that the calculation will be greatly surpassed, is that the system of unconstitutional intimidation and controul which it has been attempted, and in some instances with success, to set up, must have induced many Members who feel bound in honour and con science to vote in favour of Sir Charles Man ners Sutton to refrain from any previous intima tion of their intention, while on the part of gentlemen intending to pursue an opposite course there has been no such motives to silence. We can wait the issue of the contest without much anxiety or impatience, the rather that some of our contemporaries are so kind as to take care that we shall not be left without amusement in the meanwhile. The Courier, for instance, is entitled to our best thanks for one or two amusing and very ingenious ad missions which it made on Saturday night in reference to this subject. " It is to no purpose," says our candid contemporary, " to talk of combinations of Whig and Radical factions to force - a Speaker on the House—of the monstrous coalition of Mr. O'Connell and Lord John Russell ! Knaves and honest men must some times travel by the same road, and have a common pur pose, though without a coalition." We doubt whe ther either the Irish or English Committee-men of Mr. Abercromby will be much obliged to the Courier for its love of truth. We, however; thank our contemporary, although we perceive that the truth in the above passage is only half told, and arc compelled to be so ungrateful as to perplex him by an inquiry, which we hope he will satisfy in Isis next number, as to which of the two gentlemen he has named he means to stand for the " knave" and which for the honest man. The Courier goes not seem to think, indeed, that the supporters of Mr. Abercromby, as such, are entitled to be treated with much respect ; and in .this opinion we entirely concur. It is something new, cer tainly, for the advocate of a candidate to throw over board the most active, zealous, and powerful of his supporters with so little ceremony as our contem porary practices upon this occasion. " The friends in whose sincerity and honour Mr. Abercromby has the firmest reliance are obviously not Mr. O'Con nell and Mr. Warburton." Mr. Abercromby must be heinously ill-provided with friends, or a very indifferent judge of " sincerity and honour," if they were. But he is a mere tool in the hands of Mr. O'Connell, nevertheless, and must be inconceivably blind to his own position if he do not know it. The denial of the Courier " that Mr. Abercromby has been selected by Mr. O'Connell for the office of Speaker, can avail but little. In less than a month the latter will proclaim throughout Great Britain and Ireland the boast, which for him is a proud one, that he compelled the whole body of Whig-Radical Mem bers of the House of Commons to adopt a candi date for the Chair of his nomination. It is, how ever,- anything but an omen of victory when on the eve of the conflict the troops express so loudly the opinion that it would be ridiculous and inex cusable folly to have any very firm reliance upon the " sincerity and honour" of their most zealous and THE SUN, LON DON, .MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1835. efficient leaders. We again thank the Courier for let ting us know how little confidence ought in its judg ment to be placed in the "sincerity and honour" of Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Warburton. And now that we are in the humour to make acknowledgments, we cannot entirely overlook some very liberal and accep table admissions of another of the . journals in the O'Connell or Abercromby interest. The Globe is bounteous, indeed, beyond measure 'in its confessions. It very intelligibly describes the Whigs as a set of people who, when they have an object to carry, do not much care about what they say, but are al ways ready to bestow upon anybody any amount of " insincere or exaggerated praise"—any quantum of " dishonest eulogy"—that may be conducive to their own immediate purpose. After this we may at least expect that the Whig party, in mere mercy to Mr. Abercromby, will cautiously abstain from uttering a syllable in his commendation. " The Whigs are supposed," says our judicious contemporary, " to be estopped from making any objections to Sir C. M. Sutton's personal qualifications for the Chair, on ac count of the extravagant praises many of them showered upon him on previous occasions." How this may be we do not give an opinion ; but it is quite clear that " the Whigs are estopped" from saying any thing in favour of Mr. Abercromby's " personal quali fications for the Chair," after the principles upon which they bestow their panegyrics have been so thoroughly exposed, as they have just been by their own especial organ. The Globe, however, makes further and still more important revelations. Sir Charles Manners Sutton had the praises and the votes of the Whig Ministry and their adherents two years ago, not, it seems, because they thought he deserved either, but in order merely to patch up an ugly quarrel among themselves : " Every one knows the secret of Lord Grey's Government , proposing Sir C. M. Sutton as the Speaker of the first re formed Parliament. Promises of the office had, by some mis take, been made by members of the Government to Mr. Aber cromby and to Mr. Littleton. To avoid the scandal of a con test among their own friends, they proposed to continue the former Speaker in office." There is something admirably characteristic in the above explanation of the conduct of the Whig Minis ters when in power. Mr. Abercromby, as we have just heard the Courier assert, is very difficult in the choice of friends upon whose " sincerity and honour" lie can firmly rely ; and no doubt the writer of this paragraph is one of the ' very sin cere and honourable friends most congenial to the intellect and disposition of. Mr. Abercromby. We assure the Globe, however, that the Bettet it has now given to the world was not known by everybody, although, from the air of probability which it wears, few may be disposed to question its accuracy. Let us look, one by one, at the facts comprehended in this startling secret. First, the Whig Administration, or certain sections of it, made a promise of the office of Speaker to two di f , ferent individuals. Secondly, neither of these indi viduals, of whom Mr. Abercromby was one, would relinquish his claims in favour of the other, although the credit and concord of the Cabinet, which they both affected to support upon principle, was at stake. Thirdly, it was found necessary, in order to pre serve, the peace of the Cabinet, and prevent a discreditable exposure, to solicit Sir Charles Manners Sutton to accept the office, he being a competitor whose success would not finally bar the hopes of either of the eager Whig aspirants. Fourthly, in order to the success of this manoeuvre the Whig Ministry, with " honest" Lord Althorp for their leader, cheated Sir Charles Manners Sutton and the House of Commons into the belief, that the offer of the Speakersliip was made by honoufable men, and with views directed exclusively to the public service, and for this purpose the Whig leaders were prodigal of their hollow and hypocritical praise. Fifthly, to the whole of this disgraceful plot Mr. Abercromby was a party. These are the revelations made by the Globe—made, incredible as it may seem, for the purpose of convincing' the Members of the pre sent House of Commons that Mr. Abercromby is a more suitable person to fill the first place among them than Sir Charles Manners Sutton ; the former of whom is to be preferred because lie was a party to the decep tion above described, and an adherent of the Ministry that invented and practised it, and the latter to be re jected simply for want of those pre-eminent and con spicuous merits.—Morning Post. The Tories are beginning to open their. eyes. Hitherto they have hal it all their own way. They have had a Government without a Parliament, a dic tatorship, a dissolution, and a declaration of public principles in the veracious form of an electioneering address. This has been all very delightful and very absolute ; it has given them three months' reign : but alas ! pleasure has its end ; and now, when the work ing of our constitutional monarchy, is about to be resumed by the meeting of Parliament, the film of official delusion is fast falling off, and dire images are discovered of votes of inquiry, of a want of confidence, and of censure. They have tried to raise a " property in danger " cry against their opponents, and to fare up "a Reform " cry in their own favour. But it would not do ; people would not believe them. They are at their last shifts, and like penitent sinners in extremis, are about to die decently in their own old high Tory beds. Accord ingly, their daily organs, the Post, the Standard, and the Times, are preparing for their fall by preach ing up the acceptable doctrines of prerogative and pas sive obedience. Before and during the elections, we were told that the sense of the new Parliament was to decide the question at issue between the Tories and the country ; but now, when a muster has been made, and expectations have been examined by the test of numbers, the tone is changel The " leading journal," in that gentle style by which it instructs three-fourths of the people of England, calls all those Members who shall pre sume to place no confidence in the Duke of Welling ton and the Times, factious—tells them that the Duke and his followers will not quit their offices for any votes of their's—nay, that the King must not permit them ; and then, clenching its editorial fist, most modestly, constitutionally, and in sober sadness, canvasses for converts under the threat of another dissolution.' Thus, then, the present Parliament is not to express an opinion upon the King's and the country's new Ministers, or if it does so presume, then it is either to be disregarded or dissolved. Now, on these points we. beg leave to offer the opinions of a statesman to whom Tories are not unwilling to refer. In a proposed ad dress from the Commons to the Throne, he says— " We humbly conceive that besides its share of the legis lative power, and its right of impeachment, that by the law and usage of Parliament this House has other powers and capacities which it is bound to maintain. This House is assured that its humble advice on the exercise of prerogative will be heard with the same attention with which it has ever been regarded; and that it will be followed by the same effects which it has ever produced during the happy and glorious reigns of his Majesty's royal progenitors ; no doubting but that in all those points we shall be considered as , a council of wisdom and weight to advise, and not merely as an accuser of competence to criminate. [His Majesty had, in an answer to an address from the Commons, said, ' I observe at the same time there is no charge or complaint suggested against my present Ministers.'] This House claims both capacities ; and we trust we shall be left to our free discretion which of them we shall best employ for his Ma jesty's and the national service. Whenever we shall see it. expedient to offer our advice concerning his Majesty's ser vants, who are those of the public, we confidently hope that the personal favour of any Minister, or any set of Ministers,. will not be more dear to his Majesty than the credit and cha racter of a House of Commons. It is an experiment full of peril to put the representative wisdom and justice of his Ma jestv's people in the wrong it is a crooked and desperate design, leading to mischief, the extent of which no human wisdom can foresee, to attempt to form a prerogative party in the nation, to be resorted to as occasion shall require, in dero gation from the authority of the Commons of Great Britain, in Parliament assembled." These are not crumbs of comfort to those who believe in the omnipotence of the prerogative and of the Duke of Wellington. A little further on, it is said, with reference to that Ministerial adhesiveness to office re commended by the Times A House of Commons respected by his Ministers is essen tial to his Majesty's service : it is fit that they should yield to Parliament, and not that Parliament should be new modelled until it is fitted to their purposes. If our authority is only to be held up when we coincide in opinion with his Majesty's Mi nisters, but is to be 'set at nought the moment it differs from them, the House of Commons will sink into a mere appendage of Administration, and will lose that independent character which, inseparably connected the honour and reputation with the acts of this House, enables us to afford a real, effective, and substantial support to his Government. It is the defer ence shown to our opinion, when we dissent from the servants of the Crown, which alone can give authority to the proceed ings of this House when it concuas with their measures." Speaking of a dissolution, a single dissolution, by the unwonted exercise of the prerogative, he says : " It is the undoubted prerogative of the Crown to dissolve Parliament ; but we beg leave to lay before his Majesty, that it is, of all the trusts vested in his Majesty, the most critical and delicate, and that in which this House has the most reason to require not only the good faith, but the favour of the Crown." These were the deliberate opinions of Mr. Burke, embodied in an address to the Throse in 1784, on the occasion of a dissolution—a single dissolution ; and one also which had been so far approved of by the peo ple of England, by so much as they returned a majority in favour of those who had advised it. The idea of a second dissolution, a succession crop of dissolutions, never entered even the fertile imagination of Mr Burke. It would. belong inure to the Polignac or Strafford school.---Morning Chronicle. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Devonport Independent.) PLYMOUTH, FEB. 14.—Thomas Roberts, Esq., master builder of this Dock-yard, has obtained a Patent for a new mode of joining pieces of timber together by scarfing, which for utility of purpose and simplicity of application, is highly spoken of. The Pike schooner and the Royalist brig were paid ad vance of wages on Monday. The former sailed on Tuesday for Falmouth, and the latter vessel to cruise the channel. The Talavera, 74, Capt. E. Chetham, was paid off on Thursday into ordinary. Melampus and America are to be unlocked, and the Wellesley and Pylades take their places in dock. Capt. Symons, Surve3or of the Navy, has received the honor of knighthood. Sir Charles Schomberg died at Barbadoes, on board the President, on the Ist of January, having left Dominica, where he was Governor, from ill health. He was buried with military honours at Barbadoes. • Sir George Cockburn was at Barbadoes on the Ist of January, and sailed on the 3d for Trinidad and Jamaica. ' By the arrival of the Nightingale, at Falmouth, from Jamaica, we learn that the squadron were all assembling at Port Royal, to meet the Admiral, who was expected daily. The Hastings, Stag, Leveret, and Pantaloon, were in the Tagus when the Nautilus left, Feb. 1. Captain Symons, of the Serpent, had invalided, and the First Lieutenant of the Forte had been put in acting, it was reported. The Dee, steamer, arrived at Barbadoes, from Trinidad, 15th Dec. ; Wasp, from Antigua, 16th ; and Pincher, from Martinique, Ist Jan. Dispatch, arrived at Trinidad, from Tobago, 14th Dec. The /Etna, surveying ship, was at the Canary Islands on the 23d Dec. ; crew in good health. Lieut. T. Lemon, of the Royal Marines, has been ap pointed First Lieutenant, vice Shepherd deceased, and is appointed to the Plymouth Division. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) PLYMOUTH, FEB. 14.—The America, one of the old 74's, was taken out of dock last night, having been reduced. to a5O gun ship. She went into dock in March, 1827, and is now one of the finest models in our service. The im provement made in her stern by the master shipwright, T. Roberts, Esq., excites the admiration of all naval men ; and we understand that all ships with round sterns are to be altered upon the same principles. The Wellesley, 74, will be taken into dock this day if the tide rise to a sufficient height ; the Pylades, 18, will come in astern of her. His Majesty's ship Talavera, Capt. Chetham, C. 8., was paid off into ordinary at this port on Thursday last. On this occasion medals, with handsome gratuities, were pre sented to three old and able seamen for their lour, services and good conduct. To Edward Wrighton the Lords of the Admi ralty have granted a pension of 301.165. per annum, a medal, and a gratuity of 15/. ; to John Saxton a pension of 30/. Bs., a medal, and a gratuity of 151. ; and to William Payne, a pen sion of 24/. 165., a medal, and a gratuity of 71. The distribu tion of these rewards took place on the morning previously to the ship being paid off, when the crew were assembled on the maindeck, the three fortunate veterans standing in advance of their shipmates. The gallant Captain, in awarding them, ad dressed the crew in a style quite characteristic of the British seaman, and was listened to with great attention. Such re wards cannot but prove incentives to good conduct, and tend materially to improve the character of the seamen, every man and boy being aware that by good conduct in the service he will obtain a certain reward. The following gratifying testi mony to the discipline and bearing of the ship was promul gated shortly after the Talavera came into harbour :—" The Admiral Commander-in-Chief has great pleasure in expressing to Captain Chetham, the officers and ship's company of the Talavera, his satisfaction with the high order, discipline, and general appearance of the ship, and his own personal observa tion, this morning, on her coming into harbour, he feels it due to them to notice ; and he requests Captain Chetham will be pleased to communicate to his officers and ship's company this mark of his approbation." The Druid, 46, is to be brought forward instead of the Arethusa. The Royalist, 10, Lieutenant C. A. Barlow, sailed on Tues day on a cruise, and the same day the Pike schooner sailed for Falmouth to take out the next Lisbon mail. :The African steamer, Lieutenant Joseph West, which sailed from hence last week for Falmouth, to take out the Malta mail, on her arrival at that port found the Firefly had had her boilers repaired, and proceeded with the mail to Malta. The African returned to this port, and, it is said, will take out Sir R. Wilson, the new Governor, to Corfu, vice Lord Nugent. The Leda, 46, has been caulked, and replaced by the Ne mesis, 46, for the same purpose. The Melampus frigate having been fitted with a new stern on Mr. Roberts's principle, by which she is both improved in appearance and rendered more efficient in action, will go out of dock. The America will also be taken out of dock. Remaining in Hamoaze—San Josef, Dublin, Rover, African steam-vessel, Industry navy transport. In the Sound—Romney. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 14.—The Athol troop-ship, Mr. Kar ley, Master- Commander, arrived on Sunday, in twenty-three days from New Providence. She left Jamaica on the 20th of December, and brought home a company of the Royal Artil lery, under the command of Captain Lalor, and also invalids from the Bth, 22d, 37th, 56th, 64th, and 86th Regts.

The Ocean is in future to be employed as a breakwater for the protection of some part of Sheerness Dock yard, but whether to be filled with stones and sunk, or to be strongly moored as a floatinr , protection, is not yet decided. Yesterday Sir William Burnett, Superintendent of the Me dical Department of the Navy, Lord Ashley, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Symmonds, the Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr. Taylor, the Admiralty Civil Engineer, made an official visit to this port. They immediately comir.enced an active investigation into the various departments, and returned to London this afternoon. It will be gratifying to our naval readers frequenting the Gulf of Florida, or the Bahamas, to learn that our Govern ment arc now building two light-houses in the Bahamas. One near the " Hole in the Wall," island of Abaco, and the other on Gun Cay, in the Gulf of Florida, upon plans proposed by by Captain Kitson, of the Royal Engineers, under whose di rection and superintendence they are now building ; and who has lately visited the United States of North America, for the purpose of obtaining a contractor for them, in his Majesty's brig Arachne, Captain James Burney. The necessity of these lighthouses is too well known by all navigating the Bahamas and the Gulf of Florida, with the treacherous currents and tides; and although it will require a considerable sum of money to erect these desirable structures upon such barren, desolate, and uninhabited places, as well as an annual expense to our Government, yet humanity alone calls for the expenditure, where the safety of life and immense property demanded it, since the numerous wrecks in the neighbourhood of the lights, plainly prove the necessity of the measure. A third light house has also been planned for the Elbow Cay, on Cay Sal Bank, near to the Havannah, but, for the present, that one is not to be built. Lieutenant Johnstone and his Coast Guard boat seized the Elizabeth cutter, of Southampton, a few days since, off the Nab Light, with 75 tubs, the crew, consisting of three men, were convicted on Saturday last, and each sentenced to a fine of 1001., and in default of payment to an imprisonment of six months. Richard Blake, Esq., is appointed Master Shipwright of Portsmouth Yard, vice Peake, deceased ; and John Fineham, Esq., and will succeed as Master Shipwright at Sheerness Yard.

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat on Saturday morning in the Council Chamber, and resumed the appeal from the High Court of Admiralty (respecting the ship Neptune) Hodges v. Sims. The Lords present were the Vice-Chancellor, and the Right Honourable Sir J. Bernard Bosanquet, Thomas Erskine, and Sir Herbert Jenner. The Kings Advocate (Sir John Dodson) addressed their Lordships for the Respondent, in support of the decree of the Court below. Dr. Lushington followed on the same side. Mr. Holt, K.C., replied on the part of the appellant, and their Lordships then adjourned. The Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council afterwards held a meeting to deliver their deci sion on the appeal by Mr. Burge, as the agent for the Island of Jamaica, against certain rules of the Commis sioners of the West India Compensation Fund. The meeting was attended by the Lord President, the Secre tary of State for the Colonies, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Baron Parke, and the Right Honourable Thomas Erskine. The counsel by whom the appeal bad been argued were in attendance. The Vice-Chancellor, after stating that the rules appeared generally framed to meet all cases that may arise, proceeded to detail a few observations (additions) that their Lordships had made in some of the rules of the Com missioners. On the application of Counsel, it was understood to be arranged, that the rules of the Commissioners should re main, with the amendments of their Lordships. The -meeting then broke up. COURT OF CHANCERY. MILBURNE V. LISTER. In ibis case Lord Brougham, on the last day of his sit tings as Lord Chancellor, intimated before he left the Court, that he had written his judgment, and would hand it to the Registrar. By some accident the judgment did not reach the Registrar until the 25tH of November, al though dated on the 21st, the day of his Lordship's retire ment from office, and regularly signed. It was now made a question whether a judgment not promulgated until after the retirement of the Lord Chancellor, and not delivered in open Court, could be considered binding on the parties. Mr. KINDERSLEY and Mr. KEEN contended that such a judgment could not be considered regular. Mr LovATT, on the other hand, argued that the acci dent of its not reaching the Registrar did not affect its validity. The LORD CHANcELLon saw no reason to doubt that Lord Brougham had really left this, among other judgments, in his private room before he gave up the seals, and under the circumstances stated of his Lordship mentioning it in Court, and sayin g he would hand it out to the Registrar, the delay that had from some accident taken place ought not to deprive it of validity. His Lordship therefore di rected the order to be draWn up from the minutes of Lord Brougham's decree. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY - - • This was an appeal motion from an order of the Vice- Chancellor. The bill was filed for a discovery of certain documents relating to the estate of Sir Thomas Easeworth, in St. Dunstan's in the East, which were in 1513 be queathed to the Fishmongers' Company for uses afterwards held to be superstitious. The Company subsequently, as they allege, procured a grant of the same property from Edward VI. on the payment of a fine of 18,5001., but without having annexed to the grant any of the conditions contained in the original bequest. The relatives, on the contrary, contend that some of the uses were not super stitious ; that the Crown made a grant of rents out of the land to the Fishmongers' Company, but not of the lands themselves, and that these lands beyond the rents are still liable to the trusts of the testator, and they therefore re quire an inspection of the deeds under which the Company claim to hold the property. 'lle Fishmongers' Company demurred to the bill ; the Vice-Chancellor allowed the demurrer, and against this decision the relatives appeal. The motion was opened at some length by Sir W. Horne and Mr. Anderton in Michaelmas Term. Judgment postponed. ROLLS' COURT. BAINBRIDGE V. BLAIR. The' argument in this case was to-day concluded. His Honour the MASTER of the Rol,Ls postponed his judgment in the case made by the supplemental bill to Tuesday next. PEGUS V. SCUDAMORE. This was a bill filed by certain persons interested under the will of the testator, General Laler, and the only point now before the Court was the construction of an obscure passage hi the will. The testator, after making various de vices of his property, gave and bequeathed the income of any stock standing in his name at the time of his decease to his three nieces, share and share . alike, as long as they should remain single, and in the event of all their marrying he left the said stock in equal shares to the daughters of the said three nieces who might be alive at the time of his de cease, to the survii or of the said nieces, he meaning if all should remain single, the last survivor should receive the in come,and that the stock should be divided amongst the children of his nephews in default of his nieces having children. The eldest of the nieces had married and the question was whe ther or not her share of the income went to the two other unmarried nieces, or the next of kin ? Mr. TINNEY appeared for various parties interested in support of the construction that the income went to the two unmaaried nieces. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of several of the next of kin. Mr. TINNEY replied. The MASTER of the ROLLS said that the only question was, whether or not the two unmarried nieces took the in come of the stock in question between them, one niece hav ing married. There was no doubt as to the real intention of the testator. ,He, in the event of their remaining single, gave them the income in express terms, and the odd pro viso introduced, by way of parenthesis, supported this con struction. The only real sense of the bequest was, that the testator gave and bequeathed the income of certain stock to his three nieces, share and share alike, to such as should remain single. The two continuing unmarried were consequently entitled. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. E. GRIFFITH EVANS V. ROCKLIFF. In this case, which was not concluded on Saturday when our paper went to press, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WATSON V. DENTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentle man residing at Clapham, against the defendant, a horse dealer, for the recovery of a sum of 631., the amount paid for a horse, warranted at the time of the sale to be sound. Mr. Sergeant BOUPAS conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLEY the defendant's. The Jury returned A verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 401. EXCHEQUER COURT. CHALMERS V. BY:INE AND PAYNE. This was an action for libel brought by Peter Charles Chalmers against William Pitt liyrne, Esq., as proprietor, and Mr. Thomas Payne, as printer aird publisher of the Morning Post newspaper. Mr. STAMMERS, on behalf of the plaintiff, stated that his client complained of the defendants, es having on the sth of last July falsely, wickedly, and malicously composed, printed, and published in the Morning Pact newspaper scandalous, degrading, and inflammatory libel, purporting if contain a report of a trial for libel had by the against certain persons, the proprietors of the Jchn But' newspaper, in which a verdict f0r.30/.damages was accorded to him. The contents of the libel were . extremely long. That it contained many undeniable facts he was free t ° admit. He stood. there not to deny, for instanc e, thlat his client, the plaintiff, had been tried and convicted of havieg uttered a forged bill of exchange to a person of .the name of Cohen. Neither could he deny, as the libel fairly stated, that after a short imprisonment his client obtained his Majesty's free pardon for that offence, his case being fully and fairly investigated by the Secretary of State for the Home Depaitment. There was another fact s tated in the libel, which he had likewise to admit, and that was, that shortly after his receiving a free pardon gross and malicious libel appeared in the John 134 k newspaper, in which his client was accused , among things of being an habitual forger, a mob leader! and, in short, a person guilty of Accumulated crimp, and deserving to be held up to the detestation of the pLiblic• Such a libel did, as stated in the Morning Post, appear i" the columns of the John Bull, and, in - consequence of it, th plaintiff in the present suit brought an- action against the proprietors of that paper ; hut, although the ca se was • tried before a Special Jury, and although the defer:AO (the inprietors of the John Bull) were allowed aild did at tempt to adduce evidence in justification of their libel,' t he Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict with 801. darirg es for the plaintiff. All these facts he (Mr. Stammers) f ully and fairly admitted , on the part of his client, and he fu rthe. acknowledged that in stating them in their newspaper tbet defendants did not exceed their jurisdiction as recorders public news. In reporting the case, however, the daff dints did not stop here. It was stated on the face of'tii::l libel that the plaintiff was a member of a certain Politic* . Union, and that on his being convicted by the 011 Bail°. Jury the members of that Union had gone in a boctv petition the Lord Mayor for his pardon. Now nothing e n any such point was stated at the trial, and his client ,O i t therefore justified in arraigning it as the malicious fict io n e i the defendants. He was likewise charged as having f oige ti the name of his brother to a bill of exchange. To that 3 he could say was, that if the allegation of his having so was proved, or if it was shown that evidence •beaiing upon that point was adduced upon the trial of whic h the, libel complained of professed to give a report, his clien" would at once withdraw his suit. t oted Joseph Wall produced from the Stamp-office an atte sted copy of the defendant's affidavit of registration as propr ietpr and printer of the Morning Post newspaper. Richard Allan. (from the Stamp-office) produced the re' gister copy of the Morning Post, dated the sth of July, 1 85 ,; The alleged libel having been read by the Register, t' plaintiff's case closed. Mr. Anotruu.s, for the defendants, said here was fille t specimen of cheap law. The plaintiff put in a document which cost him no more than the value of the parchm e° , o upon which it was written, about • one farthing, and h ew , his own attorney. Thus equipped with law, cheap ee°%, in all conscience, he conies into Court and says Imre ho g complaining of a libel, what do you choose to give , : o , much can I make in the way of costs ? From ch 02. 1) of this kind the result must be not the protection o.c.it" ) ,; t , cence, but vexatious prosecutions and complaints a °° "„f matters which ought never to have been made a subjt‘e t l d complaint. Were it not for the press of what use we n ,; the moral lessons to be. earned in Courts of Justice bra The benefit of them would be confined to the few happened to be present, and without the instrumentali t y ° the press the public at large would profit nothing by the h til ; The Jury had heard the report of the trial read, and would fearlessly ask them whether they ever heard a rit ° ,;i fair, a more impartial, a more honest and temperate ac o t given of any trial ? The plaintiff had no right to con plain of the publication in this case, for it was a fair ant impartial report of an action which lie himself had broug h l He thought it quite unnecessary to call any witness, In' would leave the matter to the Jury. - ulted The CHIEF BARON summed up, and the Jury cons , -- i • in the box for a few moments. One of them express le wish to have the paper containing the alleged libel for v'et purpose of looking into the manner rather than the mit t s , of this publication. The paper was handed into the bi' re , and on the suggestion of one of the Jurymen the Jul rt tired. After a lapse of two hours they returned to C° ll with a verdict for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIONUSE. THE FEMALE SAILOR.—Sat -HO urday, the . LORD I''' . desired that M‘Lean the inspector of police, who ha d 1 „ quired into the particulars of the case of Ann Jane rrll, ton, whose romantic history has appeared in The would cause her to be removed from the Coopers' AT; in Lower Thames-street, to a private lodging, a good n y of inconvenience having resulted from the visits of the P lie to that house to see the extraordinary adventuress. , M‘Lean stated to his Lordship that the narrative h a( ' 1 - 0 , tracted immense crowds to the place of the girl's ab°,,,, and that many professional persons seemed anxious to c e l to municate. The proprietress of a minor theatre offerebo pay her a guinea a night to appear in a character got or yr her in a piece already prepared for representation. A c e . ,; brated artist also applied to be allowed to take her liketv,t, and many proposals were made by persons who offer e , d 4 pay largely to exhibit her. The girl heard of all ti` e i things without the least emotion, but expressed her rel)l4 nance to appear any more in the character which she 1,.1.4 filled to such perfection.
