SPIRIT OF. THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Tin.tes and Standard have been lately filled with extracts from the evidence taken before the Se lect Committee on Bribery, on the subject of the in terferfmce of the Catholic priests at elections in Ire land. Do not Protestant priests take an active part 5n elections ? In England the Protestant clergy have too often been fouud in the ranks of the enemies of the people. Particular circumstances have in Ireland forced the Catholic clergy to•take a more active part 311 elections, than of their own accord they would have been disposed to do. One of the Catholic clergymen, against whom the Times and Standard have the most complained, is the Reverend James Maher, adminis trator of the parish of Carlow. That gentleman was examined at great length before the Committee, arid his evidence places, in a striking light, the causes which of necessity compel the priests to interfere in elections. The Conservative landlords in Ireland openly threaten their tenantry with ruin, if they do not vote according to their wishes ; and they are not slow to put their threats in execution. The uncontradictr:d statements of the Rev. James Maher on that subject are truly appalling : " During the elections, have you observed the lnAlords attending at the different booths where the polling takes place, and endeavouring to intimidate the,lr tenants ?—I have observed the landlords in the Cour.'..-house during the polling, and very frequently in the I . 3oo th s ; i n d ee d I have heard one of them threatening . nis tenants, and swearing that he would extirpate t.,IIeITI and their families, in a con versation with mysalf. A gentleman in open Court, aland lord of the county t believe a petition has been presented or is about to 1 ;e presented, on the subject, to the House of Commons), whose tenantry voted against his wishes, in a conversr..tion with me, in the hall of the Court-house, and in the hearing of oVler persons, stated, that So help 1 1 . 11 God l' extending his arm—here I interrupted him-, Saying, You will repent of any rash vows you make row'—he ap peared a little excited. After the interruption he again re peated, that So help me, God, I will extirpate themselves and their families ; if it were in 20 years to come, I will have revenge of them.'" " Can you mention the name the landlord ?—Mr. Alexander ; he is now in Londo;,, and can be examined ?" Mr. Alexander, however ? was not examined. The priest had chapter and verse for all he stated. But let us trace the condi'..ct of this landlord a little further :—. " Of Mr. Alexander's tenants, twenty voted in favou r of the liberal candidate at the election in January IP..st. These twenty, owing but half a year's rent, have been since serv ed with writs from the Court of Ding's Bench, as soon as the debt became due, and in many instances the sum was as small as .5/. or 6/. They were served with writs, and put to the expense of 2/. 1.55. in each ease ; but afterwards Mr. Alexander remitted a portion of the expenses, I think it was 11. in each case. Ibidin my hand four of these latitats, or writs, of the Superior Courts, for the recovery of very small sums. In many instances they are under 101. Irish—a sum recoverable in Ireland by civil bill process, at an expense of a very few shillings ; but it pleased Mr. Alexander to recover his rent at an expense to his tenantry of 30/. or 40/. * * * The tenants did not suffer the law proceedings to go beyond the service of the writ ; they paid the rent immediately ; they raised the money by loan from their friends, and thus got out of the hands of their landlord." It appears that one of the men had left property'in Mr. Alexander's hands to cover his rent ; but in order to injure this man, we are told, " Some little time before the rent became due, he re ceived orders to withdraw his money ; he stated that he would leave it there as usual, to cover his rent, which would become due in a few days ; but he was obliged to with draw it, and in a few days afterwards he was served with a latitat for the payment of the said rent." This Mr. Alexander actually dismissed from his em ployment the sons of electors who had been in, his service, some of them eight, some twelve, years, be cause they gave support to their. fathers, That the men had not misconducted themselves - . i s proved by the certificates from Mr. Alexander himself, produced by Mr. Maher. It is stated that lie is the owner of a large estate, and the Secretary of the Conservative Club of the County of Carlow. The detail of acts of cruelty of other landlo- r a s given is most heart-rending. It appears that the vengeance of the landlords is not confined to the Yoter,—all who are in any way related to him pay the penalty of a vote given contrary to their wishes. Widows and children are unmercifully turned out to die, by these monsters who disgrace the name oi Protestant, which is given to them in courtesy, as well as that of gentleman, to which they have as little title. The blood boils at reading any account of the conduct of these ruthless men. The magistrates, it appears, are all leagued together, so that the poor Irish, whose great fault, as we have always sail, is that they are of too yielding a nature, are driven in despair to - the courses of which we hear so much in the Tory papers. Redress against a soi-disant gentleman is out of the question. Any one who doubts this, has only to con sult the huge folio of evidence taken by the House of Commons, a few years back, on the manner in which the clutiezi of Sheriff' are administered in Ireland. The gentry are utterly lawless ; they are leagued against justice ; and yet we expect the poor suffering peasants to - hold the law in regard. " Do you mean to say that a tenant of Colonel Bruen's appealing to the laws of his country in the county of Carlow, to the sheriff and the magistrates of the county, would not get redress ?—I do mean to say it, and it is the general im pression of the people in the county of Carlow, even of the most moderate of the people ; you never go into a Court even for a day, but you will hear the most moderate people returning, say, I am filled with disgust, and my heart is pained exceedingly with the mockery of justice exhibited in Court to-flay ;' and the more violent swear they will never go again to seek redress there ; they will get it otherwise ; that is unfortunately the feeling of the people leaving the courts of justice. * * * * * I was sprAking of the petty sessions, where the magistrates have it all in their own hands ; I know that there is a general anxiety on the part of the county to obtain stipendiary :magistrates, and I be lieve an application to that effeCt has been made to the Lord Lieutenant and the Go';ernment at home ; and made by the cess payers on who:n the burden of paying the sti pendiary magistrates is likely to fall." Were the sturdy inhabitants of the north of Ireland, or of the Lowlands of Scotland, to be treated in this manner, they would soon bring their oppressors to their senses. But there was a time, and that not dis tant, when the cry against the injustice of landlords and judg;es was as loud in the Lowlands of Scotlaml, as it now is in Ireland. Then the PresbyteriP...it Mi nister was what the Catholic priest now is---the guar dian and advocate of the people against the oppressing Lairds. On this subject we could produce evidence which might be supposed to apply to Ireland at pre sent. We must close for the present. We will add only one further extract— " Now, pass on to any other case that you think proper to mention ?—Mr. H'ltYey came to the house of Lawrence Nolan, of Ballink;.llen, on the 13th of :bine, 1635, and, made use of various arguments' to induce him to m n i s° to vote at thn approaching election according to wishes, and when Nolan persevered in refusing to enmply, Harvey addressed him in these words :—` Ree'ollect what I now tell you, that we (meaning the landlords) are sworn 'not to give an y land to Roman Catholk;s ; and in cas e we cannot get Protestants enough, we 'Will give it to Roman Catholics in such a way as that they cannot vote out of it.' And Mr. Harvey declared that 'unless he voted as he wished, he would insist on being paid a half year's rent the day after it became due, ard Mr. Harvey has since carried his threat into executie - n, by insisting on the rent being paid the very day after it became due. Mr. Harvey also told him that he had made a present of half a year's rent to Patrick Holdeii, who is a freeholder and a tenant of Mr. Harvey, and residing on the same town-land with Nolan, giving Nolan to understand that Holden had been thus treated for hav ing voted according to the wishes of his landlord, and he proceeded to say that if he (Nolan) would vote as his land lord requir. - A him to do, that he, Mr. Harvey, the landlord, would n'at ask any rent of Nolan for three half years. No lan vc,ted at the last election for the Reform candidates, and he adds that no persoh sought, by threat or intimida tion, to influence his vote at said election, save the threat and intimidation of Mr. Harvey, his landlord. " Read the affidav4?—‘ County of Carlow, to wit._ Lawrence Nolan, of Ballinkillen, freeholder of the said county Carloy;, came before me, one of his Majesty's jus tices of the peace for the said county, and voluntarily mak eth oath on the Holy Evangelists, and saith that J. W. Harvey„ Esq., of the county Wexford, and landlord of Ba l lnkillen, came to his house on Saturday, the 13th of June, 1835, and made use of various arguments to induce him to promise to vote at the then apprOachvg election, according, to his said Harvey's wishes ; and tht when the deponent persevered in refusing to comply with his, Mr. Harvey's wish, that Mr. Harvey then addressed him in these words :---‘ Recollect what I now tell you, that we (meaning the landlords) are sworn not to give any land to Roman Catholics, and that in case we cannot - get Pro testants enough, we will not give it to Roman Catho lics in such a way as that they can vote out of it.' And deponent further swearath that said Mr, Harvey declared to him that in case he world not vote as be re d quired him to do, that he would insist upon being paid the half-year's rent the d...y after it became due ; and deponent sweareth that he, Mr. Harvey, has carried his threat into execution, by insisting upon the rent being paid the very day after it became due since ; deponent further sweareth, that said Mr. Harvey declared to him on the day befeev mentioned, that he, Mr. Harvey, had made a present of a half a year's rent to Patrick Holden (who is a freeholder, and tenant of Mr. Harvey's, and residing in the same tora land with deponent) ; giving deponent to undentand that Holden had been thus treated for having voted nevardit* to the wishes of his landlord ; and deponent further sweareth, that said Mr. Harvey stated to him , ir he would vote as he required him to Mr. Harvey, would not ask any `,.1 1 0, that he, I :" . .:ut depentht ?or three half years ; and de'vonent !Taller sweareth that be voted at the last two elections in this county for the Reform candidates ; in June, for Mr. Vigors and Mr. Raphael ; and ; :n January, for Mr. Cahill and Mr. O'Connell, without 'oeing induced to do so by any threat or intimidation. br promise of reward, but from his own free will and. conviction, thinking that by so voting he acted ino7e in accordance with his feeling, with his judgment, with. his conscientious obligation, and for the interest of the public, than if he voted for the candidates who were opposed to them ; and deponent further sweareth, that no priest sought, by threat or intimidation, to influence his vote at the election ; and that the only threat or intimidation 'ever made use of towards him for ,such purposes, was that used by Mr.SHarvey, his landlord aforesaid." " What is the date of that affidavit ?—The 22d of July, 1835 I hold now in my hand the letter of the said landlord. addressed to the tenant, in which violent threats arc held out to tit 3 tenant unless he votes as his landlord wishes. " Read the letter ?—This is to the gentieman who made the affidavit : " My dear Sir, I was sorry when I ar.:',„d here at not finding you at home, as some 0 1 ;.:uttes' con versation would explain more to you thn 1 have at pre sent time to put upon paper. I skuld not have interfered with your voting for the man at your own choice, but for the undue influence that is now so shamefully exercised over you by your . p astors, whose highly improper conduct in temporal matters has brought this country into such a distracted. state. Ido now pledge myself, as a soldier, that unless you vote with me for Colonel Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh, that I shall immediately distrain for my rent, and shall continue to do so in future the day after it be comes due, if it should not be paid ; and moreover, that I will not renew with you when your lease shall have ex pired. These are, lam ready and sorry to lay, violent threats ; but when I consider the means your pastors have taken to obtain their ends, I do not think they are more so than the emergency of the case requires. Make me your fr;end or your enemy. I need hardly tell you that your own good sense will point out to you which of the two you ought to be. " I am your obliged —3forning Chronicle. " JAMES W. HARVEY." The Times of yesterday contained a report of a meeting held in Limerick, for the purpose 'of consider ing the necessity of a poor law for Ireland. Whatever sympathy we might be otherwise disposed to feel with the object of such a meeting, and even with the parties to it, although Mr. Daniel O'Connell was one of them, has been mingled at once with some spirit of amusement at the recollection of the dogged resistance made for so many years by this mock pacificator of Ireland to every proposition of a compulsory-provision for the poor, and of curiosity In discover in what new , form, under what pretence, and by what device, th e half Punch, half P ro t eus o f the Irish stage, would come forward to remobate all his own ancient maxims, and to recomtlend, or seem to recommena, the sug gestions c:t common sense and humanity, on behalf of tose miserable creatures whom it has hitherto 'seen the business of his life to rob, mislead, and hum bug. This indeed is not the first occasion on which he has lately assumed the garb of an advocate for poor laws ; but he has contrived to put it on and off so often, that by this time it may well be worn put. There is a fatality about the lives and characters of some men which stamps every word the most plausible, and every action however beneficial in its promised consequences, with distrusk and obloquy. A dark ground will sometimes show itself through the most glaring surface. Mr. Daniel O'Connell now tells the peopleQof L;:merick that they must have a provision for the poor. But even this project, so full of apparent kin , , P ;iness, he takes care to poison by a strong infusion of bitter and malignant feeling. The Agitator lets it be thoroughly understood that his Poor Law is less to benefit the poor than to harass and torment the men of property. Hatred is O'Connell's principle, even in his bounty. He has not, in this instance, detailed with any minuteness, or, indeed, given us to perceive with much clearness, what is to be the nature of his provi sion for the poor of Ireland. He intimated merely that . the tax for the poor should fall exclusively on the ab sentee landlords, and chiefly on those who " cleared", their estates. Now, as we are as little disposed as Mr. O'Connell to favour absentee landlords, who oppress the poor,—but there is such a thing as necessity for general laws,—and When the Learned Gentleman exclaims against being calumniated as an invader of the rights of property, let him answer the question, whether free locomotion is not an indefeasible right of property, and whether his threat of a tax or penalty on the exercise of such a right does not amount to a partial confiscation of that property ? At the same time there appears in another column of our paper, some ground for sus pecting that th e learned Agitator may be saved the trouble el putting his plan of poor law into action. Wh.ever reads the speech or sermon of Father Kehoe from the altar at Leighlin-bridge, will find that one of the most certain and proximate results of the Whig policy now in course of execution, is to be the trans fer of all landed property from the present possessors, to those (whoever they may be) whose Popish ances tors formerly enjoyed it. When therefore the paupers, according to this prospectus of the Rev. Father, be come proprietors of the whole soil, Mr. Daniel O'Connell may be, in a small degree, perplexed where to find ether materials or motives for his clap-trap pro vision for the poor.—Times. In the speech of the Attorney.Cleneral to_ his con stituents at Edinburgh occurs the following passage He (the Duke of Wellington) reduced this . country by what I must call his misgovernment, previous to his resigning the helm of affairs, to a state of wretched ness. There was then nothing throughout the country but discontent and anarchy, and in many parts misery and suffering. In the southern parts of the island incendiary fires were blazing in every quarter, mild in many counties in England there was actually open insurrection against the Government. This was the effect of tulsgovernment ; and this is the situation to which. The country would ere long be reduced if Tory were again to be restored." The above is only one count of the indictment which the Attorney- General has preferred at Edinburgh against _ the Duke of Wellington's Government. It is a cool thing for one who, like his masters, holds his office by the sufferance of the great political incendiary, to express a horror of incendiarism. It is as if one who as sists to throw about fire-brands should solemnly protest, that nothing alarmed him so much as the idea of a conflagration l But perhaps it was not of politital incendiarism that the King's Attorney-Ge neral meant to' express his detestation. He may pos sibly think the latter an innocent pastime, or even laudable, more especially as practised by the Irish Jack Cade for the benefit of the Whig-Radical Mi nistry, and the preservation of their places and salaries. If so, we ask his pardon ,for the mistake. He is, no doubt, consistent in thinking that the poor wretch who, maddened by hunger and - desperation, sets fire to a haystack should be hanged, and that political honours, vice-regal banquets, and Ministerial gratitude and ad miration, should be conferred upon. the pampered " Missionary" of sedition, who unceasingly flings his firebrands among the populace, and uses his utmost ef forts to set three kingdoms in a flame. No doubt this is all very consistent ; and, according to the logic of the Attorney-General, political incendiarisin may be a very good thing, if it be only practised for the benefit of his own party. For their triumphs of last 'Session, disgraceful as they were, the Whig- Radical Ministers are indebted to the bitter and implacable enemy of th.e Pro testant Constitution in Church and State—w'no calls for the destruction of the establishment of the. - Tefonned faith—for the subversion of the House of Lords ostentatiously avows that his uly.:erior ob ject is the repeal of the Union—in other ,:vvords, the dismemberment of the empire. Why then s Ciould the Whig-Radical Attorney-General denounce thC politi cal incendiary ? It must consequently be the incen diarism which destroys a haysta4, not that w , 'ich THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1835, consumes the peace and prosperity of 6. kingdom, for which he feels so great a horror. This rural , incen- .1 diarism, he says, prevailed very Innch iii the ieutli of - England during the Diike of 'Wellington's Gciern ment, and its prevalence kikit a consequence and a ' proof of ritisgoVeintnent. -Be it so---the Whig Minis ters van hardly have the raisoiltei.y,tB, 811jea tcl hest of. misgovetaniel i ligni AHlied in their own Adminis fration; ey have applied to that of their ad 13i caries. What, then, do they say ?. What does their Attornq,General say to the prevalence of incendiary 'Tires for a long time oast-at with a few 811. , ,rt ittteiVals, ever since they, the Whigs, came, into office—and at their increasing preTalencz,, as the columns of the daily Press showed, even at the time when the Attorney-General was appealing to former fires as evidence cif the nlisgoVerintlent of him whom it has pleased the -Attorney Democratic Lord and Master to call the k‘ stunted Corporal" and the " swinezherd General ?" The Swing riots undoubtedly broke out during the Duke of Welling ton's Administration—that Administration which, in its excessive liberality, threw open the doors of Par liament to the Roman Catholic agitators, who now demand the sacrifice of our Protestant Constitution. The Swing riots We believe to have pritriPallY originated from the wretched state of the agricultural labourers, of whom many thousands were thrown °tit of employment by the introdnetiOri or thitsiiing and other machines into rat-in:Vas, and those who were employed cotild not obtain wages adequate to sustain Id:. Diu the Whig Ministers inquire into the causes TA those riots ?—and, while they vindicated the autho rity of the laws, did they endeavour to rernove the causes of just compl a i n t, a nd improve the condition of the suffering labourer ? . Nothing of the sort ; they confined their operations to the sanguinary work of Special Commissions, which would have been much More sanguinary if it had not been for the & strong expression of public opinion against the sacrifice of the " victims of misgovernment." In most places the farmers substituted human labour once more for machinery ) and raised the wages of. their labourers, though ail able to do it, and 80 those machine breaking riots, which every friend to pence and order must deprecate, Wefe not renewed ; but little thanks are due to the Whig Government for that. Have the Whig Ministers from that time to this taken any pains whatever to improve the condition of the agricultural labourers ? Just as much as they have to relieve the suffering farmers, which is none at all— those farmers whom the Attorney-General had the assurance to tell the Whig-Radicals of Edinburgh were in a state of advancing prosperity. Has the love of truth, which distinguishes the Irish Agitator, in fected all his political associates ? It is only on the supposition of the generous contempt for matters of ' fact which distinguishes Dan havin g had a contagious influence u p on time who are in the habit of commu nicating with him, that we can account for this asset tion of the prosperity of the agriculturists by the At torney-General, and for niany other equally Well founded assertions of the Whig Ministers and their minions. The I:timings oi Bristol and Nottingham, which ertaitily did not occur u n d er the Duke of Wel lington's Administration, must also, upon Sir - John Campbell's principle, be taken as proofs of the mis government of the Whig Ministers. It is true the ill-fated offenders were, in & great degree, if not altogether, stimulated to these outrages by the in cendiary appeals of that portion of the Press which was supposed to speak the sentiments of Ministers. No matter—when the purposes of the excitement were served, the deluded instruments of mischief received their reward—military execution and the gallows settled the account, and the uproar of artfully-excited sedition was stifled in the silence of the grave. Does the Attorney-General also forget that at Merthyr Tydvil, and other places, more blood was shed by mili tary execution during the two first years of the Whig Government than had been spilled in that way during, at least, the preceding fifteen years ? Does he also forget the campaign of Calthorpe-street, and the 60,000 workmen marching through London in the open day to the Home Office, to demand the remission of the sen tence of transportation passed upon the Dorchester Unionists ? Were Pll these things proofs of the order, tranquillity, and confidence which the good and pa. ternal Government of the Whigs produced ? It is true the Whigs have the merit of introducing and carrying that famous measure of relief to the agriculturists, the Poor Law Amendment Bill—a measure, under the ope ration of which the distresses and discontent are con tinually increasing—distresses and discontent which are, unhappily, to be read not only in the south of England, but in many other parts of the country, by the lurid flames of midnight conflagration. These things Sir John Campbell admits are proofs of misgo vernment—but not the misgovernment of the Duke of Wellington.—Morning Herald.

A very strong discussion occurred as to its propriety. The COMMON SERGEANT had nothing to do with the al leged preference given to the Mint eases. The Judges bad directed it, as the Mint paid their own expenses. Of the two trials that followed, one was that of a man named Lyons, and the other that of a woman named _Burt. In each case the two utterings were proved. In the first case the Jury convicted, and in the second a verdict of acquittal was returned. The Learned SERGEANT; at half-past eight, adjourned the Court until to-morrow, this day. SURREY SESSIONS,-WEDNESDAY. Juan ihoton, alias hillier, was indicted for stealing a coat off the wooden flgure of a man standing at a shopkeeper's door in Gentge , street, 131ackfriar's.road. The prisoner stood up for shelter from the rain at the prosecutor's door, close beside the figure of a man with a fashionably cut green coat, exhibited for the purpose of drawing custom. The prisoner soon fixed his eye on the article, and, as one of the witnesses said, " before you could say Jack Robinson," he had the coat off the wooden figure, and bolted away down George-street as fast as his legs could carry him. He was observed, however, and when pursued he dropped the garment and continued his career until be was at length taken into custody. The prisoner, a shrewd, cunning-looking f,llow, endea voured to impress a believe that he was as innocent " as the babe utiborn." lie declared that all the witnesses for the prosecution were mistaken, " and well they might," said he, " for the real thief and myself were as like as two peas." The fact was, he had been to see a relative on the evening in question, at the Cock in Fleet-street, and after leaving the Cock to go home it began to rain very hard. When he got to the corner of George -street it came down in tor rents, which made him commence running, and just at the moment he passed the prosecutor's shop he heard a hilli bullu and cry of " Stop thief." He, however, continued to run along, perfectly unconscious of what was the matter, until, to his great surprise, he was seized by the collar and accused of the robbery. He did see a man about his own stature running very hard before him, and this fact con founded him with the real thief. `ale CHAIRMAN examined the witnesses, who all swore positively to his person. The prisoner then commenced a cross-examination of the witnesses, from which it was apparent that he was expe rienced at such matters, but with all his ingenuity he could not shake the credibility of their testimony. The CHAIRMAN asked the prisoner if he had anything to say in answer to the charge. He answered that all arose out of a mistake in the.identity. CHAIRMAN-But all the witnesses could not have• been mistaken on the occasion ; they have all sworn to your Identity. Prisoner—No matter for that, they are all in the wrong, and I am innocent of the coat. The CHAIRMAN again asked him if he had any persons present to speak to his former character ?—The prisoner gave a glance round the Court, and said that he saw no one that he knew, and added that, from prudential motives, he did not like to apprize his friends exactly of his present situation. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said that the sentence of the Court was, that he be transported for seven years. Cornelius and John Crawley, two brothers under thirteen years of age, were convicted of stealing some linen, which was hung out to dry in a garden to which they had access. After taking the articles they went and sold them for three pence at an old rag shop. A Mrs. Reddick gave a melancholy account of the con dition of the two , unfortunate boys. Their mother was carried off suddenly two years ago by the cholera, and since her decease they had lost their only protector, their unna tural father having abandoned them and gone to live with some woman. She (the witness) was convinced that the boys were in a state of great destitution at the time they committed the offence. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether the father was in Court to know the fate of his children, and the reply was that he had been to see them at the gaol since their incarceration. Upon further inquiry the Chairman ascertained that the poor boys parent was employed during the Vauxhall season in the Gardens, and was now a scene-shifter at the Victoria Theatre. The CHAIRMAN then sentenced the prisoners to be com mitted for seven days, and instructions were given to ap prize the father of their situation, with a view that when they were liberated he might be compelled to support them. WOOD V. LANCASHIRE CANAL COMPANY. In this motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with a projected continuation of their canal, and in which Mr. Knight was heard, in support of the mo tion yesterday, it had been agreed that all the evidence on both sides should be read before the defendants' Counsel should go on. Mr. GIRDLESTON, who WAS with Mr. KNIGHT, on the part of the Company, were occupied all yesterday, till the Court rose, in reading the affidavits in support of the mo tion and in opposition to it. In the course of the defendants' evidence an affidavit was read, setting forth certain acts of acquiescence on the part the plaintiff, to which no answer was tendered up to the hearing of the motion. His HONOUR this morning addressed Mr. Knight, and asked him how it was possible to get over that part of the defendants' case ? Mr. KNIGHT replied that would not, at all events, pre judice the plaintiff's right to ,bring actions fOr the things complained of. His HONOUR said certainly not. He must refuse the motion for the injunction, and leave the plaintiff to bring such actions as he might be advised, reserving the question of costs to abide the result of the actions. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. John Rawlins, aged 21, and George Clark, ag ed 20, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house o John Bird, and stealing therein a bed, two blankets, and other a: titles, his property. Mr. Justice GAZELEE summed up, and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty of stealing, but not of the burglary. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.—George Clark,_aged 22, was indicted for embezzling and secreting a letter containing a bank-note of the value of M., the property of Mathias Fowler, he being employed at the General Post Office. The prisoner was also indicted for embezzling and steal ing 41. 1 1s., the monies of our Lord the King. Mr. Shepherd stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. Justice GAZELEE summed up, and The Jury were of opinion that the prisoner did not • in tend to steal the 51. note, but that he was guilty of secreting the letter with intent of receiving the postage. Mr. Justice GAZELEE-If that is your opinion, it amounts to an acquittal. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. Mary Ann Johnson, aged 22, was indicted for stealing five sovereigns, the property of George Eates, from his dwelling-house. It appearing that the prosecutor promised that it would be better for the prisoner if she confessed, she was acquit ted, and the sovereigns restored to the prosecutor. William Jones alias Barrett, aged 19, a cab driver, Was indicted for stealing a cash box, containing 300 sovereigns, and bank notes of the value of 1951., the property and monies of Isaac Maurice. Mr. Maurice stated—On the 15th of Augnst I came from Birminkham by the Tally Ho. I arrived about seven in the evening, and got into a cab at the Bull and Mouth. I had a carpet bag, a travelling cloak, a cashbox, and a brown paper parcel. The money was in the cash box, covered with brown paper. The whole were put in the cab. I believe the prisoner was driver. On arriv ing at Manor-place all the things were taken out, as I thought, the prisoner assisting. The cab man then drove off. He whipped his horse, and went at a great pace. I missed my box directly, but he had gone so fast I could not overtake him. I went to the stand where I bad hired the cab from. I found the same cab, but &different driver. I have not found a shilling of niy property. I cannot swear positively the prisoner is the driver—to the best of my moral belief he is. William. Merick, porter at the Bull and Mouth, proved calling the cab for the prosecutor. He swore positively the prisoner was the driver of the cab. Verdict—Guilty. The prisoner" was then called up for judgment, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Susan Fitzgerald, aged 19, was convicted of stealing two GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. A BLACK AFFAIR.-A copper-coloured damsel, named Belinda Watkins, but better known in Greenwich by the soubriquet of the " African Venus," appeared to a warrant charging her with scratching the face and blacking the eyes of a little black pensioner, named Christopher Bostman. The complainant addressed the Bench as follows : " Your Worships must know dat Miss Linda dere berry bad cretor, always up some dam trick or oder. Toder day me go along de street berry civil, ben I meet her, and I ax her quite polite, How you do, Miss Linda ? how you moder, and all you black family ?' Den I ax her foy four shilling she owe me. She make answer directly, What you mean, you black ticf, ax lady my delicate feelin lik dat dere in public street ? I good mind knock you black eye down you throat.' Bith dat she call me all de ugly name possible come in lady's mouth, and when' me tell her me surprise delicate cretor like her go on so, she make no more to do but hit me berry wiolent blow, make my face much blacker than before." Defendant—Well, you common Nigger, what you make remark on me for as you did bout my complexion. Me berry nice colour, skin quite soft, you only reglar common Nigger. You nasty feller, you fond of me cause me some thin your colour. I tell the Magister all about you. • MAGISTRATE (to the complainant)—How did you get acquainted with this girl ?

She, being black womai like me, tink she must be decent nice cretor, and make me berry comforble, but me find her berry bad, worse nor white people. MAGISTRATE—I am afraid Miss Belinda is an old sweet heart of yours. Defendant—Yes, your Worship, dat de trut ; only he say my complexion spoil since I been here, and he hab nothin more to do wid me. He getting berry particler. The Magistrate then ordered Miss Belinda to pay the costs of the warrant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Mary Barry and Sarah Square, the former cook, and the latter housemaid, in the service of Mr. Edward Braham, engraver, No. 40, Cambridge-street, Edgeware road, were brought up in custody and placed at the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON, charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of valuable plate, the pro perty of Francis Roe, Esq. The prisoner Barry said she was innocent of the charge, and Square repeated her former statement. Mr. RAWLINSON, having consulted the prosecutor, or dered Barry to be, for the present, discharged ; and commit ted Square for re-examination on Monday next. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday George Holt, a lad about 16 years of age, ap prentice to Mr. George Rossiter, trunk-maker, of 18, Gre ville-street, Clerkenwell, was brought from the station-house, charged by his master with having been insolent, and with neglect of duty. On - the case being called on Mr. Moles, the junior clerk, intimated to Mr. Bennett, the Magistrate, that it was always customary to bring disobedient apprentices up on a war rant ; but, in the present case, the prisoner has been con fined in the station-house. Mr. BENNETT-It was never my practice to grant a warrant when I was at Worship -street. 111 r. Moles —My only object in making, the suggestion was to show that the prisoner had been locked up all night with felons and the worst of characters, which might have a tendency to corrupt his morals. Mr. BENNETT—I never grant warrants in such cases, but still I conceive it to be highly reprehensible to send apprentices to the station-house, to mix with thieves and other bad characters. If they have never committed any crime, it might have the effect of leading them into it, and destroying their morals. Mr. Moles—The prisoner's offence is disobedience. Mr. BENNETT ,(addressing the acting inspector)—Who ever. took the charge against the prisoner has committed himself ; the office is inundated every day with frivolous charges from station-houses, and I can only say that the persons receiving some of them run great risk, as they are not justified in taking them, and depr►ving subjeets of their liberty. do not express it as my positive opinion, but I have my doubts as to whether you are authorised to take charges against any persons and lock them up, except in cases of felony. Mr. Rossiter stated that the prisoner was in the habit of going to " Free-and-Easys,"and.stopping out till late hours, and the fumes of tobacco, beer, and: gin so stultified him, • that be could not he got out of bed on the following mcirning; when he spoiled his work, defied him (his master), and leer ariie iiietherit, and abusive. Last night I went to .brincrlim frdni a Fr6e.tiricktagy,P and he ordered me out of the place, and refused td Obtild itdriiei so li gave him into ettiforty,..

Mr. BENETT—You are intenverate.

The prisoner said that his master allowed him to go out two nighto ti week. He went to his uncle's, and his master did not ask him civilly to go home. Mr. BENETT—I shall certainly not send him to prison ; but he shall make an apology, with a promise to amend in future, awl. if lie again misconducts himself bring him be fore me, and I will rat the law into execution against him. Tho prisoner made the required apology, and he was discharged. MARLBORO UGH-STREET'. Yesterday Mr. CONANT and the Rev. Mr. TatIfiSAPT were for a length or titne occupied in the intestigation of a charge of assault brought by Mr. Edwards, a tradesman, in Shepherd's-market, Oxford-Orot, against three police men, C 52, C 78, and C 151. A fight between two boys took place on Monday even ing, about eight o'clock, which of course attracted a great number of spectators. Policeman C 52, went to the spot, and attemilted to prevent the boys from fight ing, in doing which he was tery roughly handled by the mob, and obstructed by the cortiphnnant, who declared that no policeman should be allowed tO hinder the boys from continuing their contest. The policeman insisted on doing his duty, and then, according to the evidence on his part, the complainant seized him by the collar and struck . him several times. The policeman attempted to take the complainant into custody, but by means of the assistance of the mob the complainant got away, and ran into his own house. A number of policemen having arrived at the scene of disturbance, with considerable' difficulty they captured some of the persons who had assaulted C 52, and obliged the mob to disperse. About- an hour after this, policeman C 52, seeing Mr. Edwards standing by the steps of his own door, went up to him and insisted on taking him into cus tody. . He refused to go with the constable unless he procured a warrant, and it was while compelling Mr. Ed wards to go to the station-house that the assault complained of was committed. • Mr. CONANT, in giving judgment, said that the Bench could not lose sight of the fact that Mr. Edwards by his unjustifiable conduct in the first instance had brought on the assault which had been committed. The policeman would have acted right had he followed him into his house after he had made his escape, but he certainly was not justified in taking him an hour afterwards while at his own door. He should fine C 52 ten shillings, and discharge the -other two. QUEEN- S QU ARE. A short, thick set man, named 'William Hawkins, the good humour depicted upon whose countenance would have been quite sufficient to set at rest the doubts of the greatest sceptic as to Lavater's theory, was brought before Mr. BURRELL, charged by police constable Raby, 94 B, with being in a state of drunkenness, and driving his cart upon the pavement in Tothill-street, greatly to the risk of his own life, as well as endangering the safety of the passengers. The policeman stated that he had taken the horse and cart to the Green-yard, and the defendant had been placed in the station-house. Mr. BURRELL—What are you, Hawkins ? Hawkins — I'm a pedlar, your Worship ; but my best place of business is at Windsor. Only ask any of the Gentlemen there if they don't know Bill Hawkins. Why, I makes fishing tackle for all the young Gentlemen in Eton. Mr. BURRELL—How do you account for your conduct ? Hawkins—Why, my pony is the wonderfull'st little hanimal as never vos ; and I comes upon a wisit to Westminster, but the hanimal doesn't like such a low neighbourhood ; and seeing as we had only come from Windsor that blessed morning, which, your Worship knows, is a respectable place, why he nat'rally shies to see such a lot of black guards as there is here. Mr. BuunELL—Do you deny the charge of drunken ness? Hawkins (smiling, and putting his hand to his pocket)—Oh no, I was obliged to take a little drop of gin and cloves when I came to such a filthy place as Westmin ster. What's to pay, your Worship ? Mr. BURRELL—You are fined ss. Hawkins--Thank your Worship--you're as welcome to it as the " Flowers in May." I wish you a very good morning. Hawkins then left the office, perfectly satisfied with the decision of the magistrate, and showing every mark of the greatest hilarity upon the occasion. ___----~ CORONER'S INQUESTS. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Sun and Sports man, High-street, Marylebone, on the body of Mr. Thomas Passey, aged sixty, of No. 60, Beaumont-street, who for many years had held the situation of cashier at the Bank of England, and was found dead in his bed on Sunday morn ing last. The deceased was a man of regular habits, and generally enjoyed good health, but on Saturday, on his return home, he complained of pains in his head. He went to bed at his usual hour, and not making his ap pearance in the morning, his servant became alarmed, and, forcing his room-door open, found him in bed quite dead. She sent for Mi. Lomas, surgeon, of Dorset-street, Port man-square,. who attended, and gave it as his opinion that death had taken place some hours previously, the extremi ties being quite cold. Verdict, " Died by the visitation of God." Another inquest was afterwards held at the same house on the body of Emma Cox, a fine young woman, aged twenty-eight. The deceased had recently lived in the service of a fa mily in Bond-street, and while there formed an intimacy , with a young man, an engineer, who at the commence ment of this month proposed marriage, and put up the banns in Marylebone Church. Business then obliging him to go to Hamburgh, he left her, saying he should be back in a fortnight. The deceased, on the following day, ap peared depressed in spirits, and went out, but in a short time returned again to her lodging in Church-street, • Lis son-grove, and was taken very a She was then con veyed to the Marylebone Infirmary, where it was disco vered that, she had taken a quantity of sulphuric acid. Proper remedies were resorted to, but she begged to be allowed to end her miserable existence. She, however, lingered up to Sunday last, when she died, 'and her lover, on the same morning, returned to England. The JUry, having viewed the body, returned a verdict, " That the deceased's death was caused by her taking poi son while in a state of temporary mental derangement." • On Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock, the dwelling house of Miss 'Bennett, near Gloucester, was entered by two men, who proceeded directly to the bed-room of the lady, and demanded her money. They took a lighted candle with them, and told her that if she gave them what they desired—her money—they would not hurt her. She told them that her money was in her pocket, which she had placed under ber pillow, upon which it was at once taken by one of the thieves, who transferred its contents, consist ing of a 101. Chippenham bank-note, a sovereign, some sil ver, and a watch, to his own pocket. One of them was about thirty years of age, five feet six or seven inches high, had dark hair and whiskers, and a fresh complexion ; the other was about five reet ten or eleven inches high, had large features, and light complexion. SUPPOSED MURDER.—The neighbourhood of Abingdon has been for these two days in a state of great excitement, in consequence of the disappearance of Mr. Thomas Townsend, coal merchant, of that place, who on Wednesday took a boat load of coals to Sutton, and, hav ing finished his business, left that place about half-past six o'clock in the evening. He had, it appears, been to several public houses, and at one of them, being rather fresh, as it is termed, stated that he was fearful he should be murdered before he got home ; he, however, proceeded, and met Mr. Pullen, of. Sutton, on the bridge near to the paper mills. He expressed the same apprehension to him, and begged of him to return and accompany him as far as Culharn. Mr. Pullen, however, said there was no danger as' it was so early, and told him that Herring, the postman, was just before him. Soon after this a woman and boy overtook him and passed him, and almost immediately after this he was met and passed by another person, leaving him on what is called Sutton Moor. This is the last that is known of him. In the morning his hat was found in a dry ditch on the moor, and a pocket handkerchief with an eel in it in a dry ditch on the other side of the canal, 'belonging to the rickyard of Mr. John Mundy, of Culham: In the evening about seven o'clock, or soon after, cries of murder were distinctly heard, exactly from the place where the hand kerchief was found, and Mr. Mundy's shepherd having re tired to rest, beard these cries, and lookinn• out of window saw a light exactly at that spot, and heard a subdued voice exclaim " Damme Carter," with other words that he could not distinguish. The facts that have already transpired appear involved in great mystery, but these arc all we know at present. The river and canal have both been dragged with great assiduity, but the body has not yet been found.— Oxford Journal, _u' _-.~.~._....

J * ) Herald contains the following account of a disgraceful 13,T°: ceeding near this city :—" We were credibly informed - few days since that on Sunday week this (ode, now so Pc, pular everywhere,`was executed to its utmost lette r in tul county, near Snowhill. The meeting - house there , hereW c fore for many years used for public worship by the blael'id was burnt, and frequently since the meetings have been he s , near by in the woods. It was at one of these mcetiegt, i on Sunday week, that two blacks from Philadelphia Atb tended—one quite an old man—the other younger and a wooden leg. Shortly after they reached them eet'hvjt another, a black from the city, arrived, and asserted t the two strangers were spies , employed by negro cateiheag (slave-holders) to report the whereabouts of runaway af . t i 0 to their masters. The report spread like wildfi re, an(' yflo person in attendance, to avoid a rupture , advis ed the tat, to decamp as fast as their legs would let them. They tempted to do so, and had made good their retreat•for se e ral miles, when they were overtaken by the blacks frorat.'th meeting, taken back, stripped to their skin , tied , and wc)it lynched in the most unmerciful manner. One o f theab 0 is said, received near 300 lashes ! — the other nearlY:pa much The skin, we are told, was literally wh i P r io from their backs! and hardly life sufficient left in then carry them away. The whites rose in large nn.mbers hearing the fact, but the bloody participators had t their horrid butchery, their victims yet tied to the *rest So flagrant' an outrage should be visited wit h the se,cr,b, penalties of the laws, and no pains spared to ferret out guilty. • (ADvZRTISEMENT.
