r , kr; ■ SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is satisfactory to observe that the Bill presented to the Chamber of Pi ocuradores by M. Mendizabal, for the regulation of the elective franchise, includes little of the old leaven of the Constitution. Under the former system, the Deputy was chosen by a col lege of electors, who were themselves chosen by the people at large, upon the principle of universal suf frage. This double operation, it is understood, the minority.of the Commission appointed to prepare the Bill recommended to be still continued, contending that the great mass of the people, including the tax payers, are so ignorant of the political interests which they have acquired under the Royal Statute, that they would be liable to be imposed upon by partizan:; of the Pretender. Another argument in favour of the former plan is this, that "candidature," as they express if, is as yet scarcely known in Spain. The class of men ambitions to take a conspicuous part in public affairs, without being paid for their services, is extremely limited in that country. The candidates, therefore, fur scats in the Lower Chamber, are, com paratively with the number of the population, very few ; there is no canvassing, no preparation for an election by public meetings, in which the claims of • aspirants to the functions of a Representative are exa mined and appreciated. They have no hustings; in fact, they feel nothing of that excitement which pre. wails amongst us, whenever a vacancy is to be filled up in the Commons, and especially when the whole House is to be renewed. But to those oho have ex perience in the working of the Representative system, it is obvious that the mode of election adopted in the Constitution of. 1812 is the one best - adapted to perpetuate the apathy and ignorance of the people, with" respect to the duties which they would have to perform in . returning Members to their Lower House. The question, who shall be one amongst a number of electors ? is infinitely less calculated to awaken public attention, than, the question, who are to be the Deputies of a particular province ? It may be true that, even under the sys tem of direct election, those who have a right to the franchise, not yet knowing all its value, will be slow to exercise it. But time will cure this evil. Let but the seeds of the representative form of government be care fully sown, and they will in due season yield their natural harvest. People must be educated to liberty, as to other improvements in civilization. With a free Press, an inviolable liberty of speech in Cortes, publication of debates, and questions of the highest importance occasionally appealing to the intelli gence of the country, the Spanish electors cannot long remain so indifferent to the sacred na ture of their functions as they may at present, and yerhaps for a few years to come, appear to be. The Bill allows a Deputy for every 5,000 souls. Taking the population of Spain at about twelve millions, this proportion will therefore give two hun dred and forty representatives—a number quite suf ficient, we apprehend, in a country so situated, for the purposes of deliberation. The popular basis of the system is the same as that which was settled by the 28th article of the " Constitution ;" but the 31st ar ticle of that fundamental law only allowed a Deputy for every 70,000 souls, provision being made in the two subsequent articles for a departure from this rule under particular circumstances. Consequently the Bill proposed by the Prime Minister of Spain adds nearly a third to the number of De puties fixed by that Constitution, the re-establish ment of which some enthusiastic parties have been lately demanding with so much ill-directed • zeal. Upon the two essential points, therefore, of direct election, and of adequate representation, the new measure possesses decided advantages over the Constitution, and if it be adopted by the Cortes, a result of which we entertain little doubt, it will be a real advance in the path of freedom. The lists of electors under the proposed law are to be made out in this way :—The kingdom is to be divided into provinces and electoral districts, upon the basis before stated ; one hundred of the inhabitants of a district who pay the highest amount of taxes respectively, are to be first named in the list ; to these will be added another hundred of the inhabitants who pay respectively taxes of the same amount as the individual lowest rated in the first list. Assuming the country to be divided into two hundred and forty districts, this plan yields nearly fifty thousand electors in the whole. To these are to be added all those persons who prac tise as advocates, assessors, physicians, and who de rive their livelihood from other avocations which offer a sufficient guarantee for the intelligence, and in some degree the independence of the parties ; these classes will perhaps produce about a hundred thousand electors more. So that Spain, for a population of twelve millions, will have at leas: one hundred and fifty thousand electors ; whereas France, for thirty millions, has little more than the same number. The Doc trinaires, we suspect, will not much like this living reproach to their system so near their frontiers. We could have wished, that from the list of electors in Spain all pensioners had been excluded ; but we see no valid objection to the admission of retired officers of the army, navy, or militia, or even of officers actually serving in the National Guard, to the franchise. The lists are to be published every year ; objections to names are to be presented to the provincial deputations—a popular municipal body—and an ap peal lies from their decision to the Council of State. Thus the Bill adopts our Registration system, though it adopts a more economical mode for the revision of the lists, which the greater simplicity of the qualifica tion renders practicable. The election is to be by ballot. The qualification for a Deputy is, as it ought to be, almost trifling—an income of 601. a year, or a capital in the funds, or in landed estate, or em ployed in trade, of 2,400/. or living independently by the exercise of a profession, by literature, or sci ence, provided he thus earn 1001. a year, or by re ceiving from the State a salary of 140/. a-year, or a pension to the same amount. To the two latter qua lifications the Optimists will take an objection ; but it must be remembered, that the electors will have it in their power to set this part of the system right. Ap pointment of a Deputy to office, as with us, is to send him back to his constituents. Upon the whole, al lowing for the peculiar circumstances in which Spain is placed, we are of opinion that a better scheme for the regulation of the elective franchise in that country could hardly be devised, than that of which we have just given an analysis. The foundation is well con structed, and the superstructure may hereafter be mo dified in some points, and extended in others, as cir cumstances shall require.—Morning Chronicle. It was a fine though a brief passage in the public life of Lord Castlereagh, when he stood forth, alone, at Vienna against the spirit of and encroachin,„, a • • t pin of Russia, an d d ec l are d that her gate Poland ought to be and must be resisted. But Lord Castlereagh was forced to stive way, because, al though the spirit of his decla b ration was good, the time was unpropitious. To break with Russia at that moment would have been to separate her from the European league against France, and to reanimate the rebuked, but not extinguished, power of the latter na tion to another strugg4e with that Conservative alli ance, of which one of the members, next after Eno.- land the most formidable, would then have sunk into mere neutrality, or pursued her own schemes of ag grandizement, no longer molested, in the East. The terms afterwards stipulated with Russia, under which she got possession •of Poland, were dictated on the part of the Allied Governments by the same spirit which had suggested the opposition of Lord Castle reagh to that measure—namely, a rooted distrust and jealousy of her machinations, and a repugnance to see the equilibrium of Europe once more overturned by the success of them. The Allied Governments had just paid dearly, and profusely had their people bled, to put down and demolish the dominion of the French Stratocracy, not more ambitious or unprincipled, nor we believe, by any means so dextrous as Russia has proved herself throughout an entire unbroken century. It was, therefore ? a lawful and reasonable apprehension that Russia might, by seizing upon Poland, lay the groundwork of another supremacy not less grievous or I)sl:ssi s sfatihthan that from which France had just, with so k\sssric --- Onollkfficulty, and after so precatious and terrible a 4 7,1-?, - ;' -t -diket,s4seen displaced.

Vain, we admit, were such parchment precautions against a faithless and rapacious despotism, like that of the successor of Catherine II.; nor did any experienced statesman anticipate that they would of themselves suffice to frustrate any one scheme of aziression which Russia might nourish upon the liber ties of Poland, as a stepping-stone to invasion.; on a more - extended scale of the general European interests. But if the restraints particularized by that treaty of Vienna could not in the first instance operate as a prevention of fraud or violence on the part of Russia towards the Poles, they did substantially provide a remedy, or what ought to have been a remedy—viz., a tribunal by which any wrongs inflicted upon Po land in contravention of the .treaty might have been, and ought to have been, at once redressed. It gave to injured Poland a right of appeal to the European States, her protectresses, by whom, in the treaty of Vienna, the arbitrary power of Russia over her new territory had received essential modifications, and in- vested those States (England and France being two o them) with a right, while it imposed upon them the solemn duty of direct and efficacious intervention. This duty they owed to themselves, as the only means left them of restoring the equilibriu:n of the Continent, so completely shaken as it must have been by the pros tration of Poland under the hoof of Russia, in a degree not contemplated—nay, positively forbidden—by the treaty ; and they owed it no less to Poland, which had been entrapped by the same treaty, into an unresistinr , submission to the sceptre of the Czar, on the faith that the integrity of her name and institutions, with the rights of individuals, and the national religion and laws, would have been respected by him. It is to be observed, that the interests of surrounding nations are not less concerned in restraining the outrages of a tyrant upon national right, than the encroachments of a conqueror upon national territory. The quality and nature of a dominion anywhere acquired by Rdssia is not less important, often more important, to neigh bouring States than the amount of surface over which that sovereignty extends. The Czar of Muscovy, exercising only the, powers of a limited mo narch over Poland; would be far less dangerous to European liberty than the same Czar wield ing an unmitigated despotism, and" moving Poland ab solutely according to his unbridled pleasure. Now the whole administration of Constantine in Poland was an open violence to the treaty of Vienna, and a gross of fence to the several Governments which had signed it. That brutal tyrant respected no right or immunity sti pulated for the people of Poland by the treaty. His reign was an incessant challenge to insurrection. If ever insurrection deserved the name of a " holy right," it was that of the Poles against the oppressor, who had never spared them, but whose life, even in their first hour of legitimate exasperation, they magnani mously spared. It was then that the nations of Eu rope—then that the Whigs of England—ought to have made common cause with the Poles, and insisted on having justice done them, either by a fair or up right system of Government on the part of Russia, or, if that should be refused, by helping them to shake off her yoke. England, however, has hitherto evaded both her most solemn obligations-1. That by which she had bound herself to the Poles, that the sway of Rus sia over them should be regulated by certain princi ples, and narrowed within definite limits. 2. That by which she was bound to protect the interests of Eu rope, and of her own wide and vulnerable empire, from the strides and aggressions of a barbarous power, in capable of valuing any objects of ambition, except further accessions of territory, and of physical force, to a territory already all but boundless, and a popula tion approaching to 50,000,000 of vassals. We had nearly lost sight of the circumstance which has led us to a consideration of this interesting and painful sub ject, and which is no other' than a letter from a cor respondent " Z. A.," a Pole, enlightened as he is noble, and who feels the wounds of his bleeding coun try, and the humiliation of his illustrious countrymen, as a warrior and a patriot would naturally be affected by them. His letter is a recital of crimes and sufferings at which the blood curdles and the heart turns to gall. The barbarities perpetrated since this Nicholas came to the throne, we offer chiefly to the notice of our readers, because it is with Nicholas that Poland, England, and Europe have henceforth immediately to deal. The order to rase Sebastopol to the ground is worthy of all attention. The secret ordinance for transporting , 40,000 families of " Polish gentlemen" from the Go vernment of .Podolia to the steppes of Tartary—the secret order to register the families that were to be transported, inasmuch as the " Excellency" who was charged with the execution of this diabolism was cau tioned by Nicholas " against publishinc , or making , known the order,"—this we say is worthy of all at tention, as being exquisitely characteristic of the quar ter whence it proceeded. So the recent and now re cognized speech of Nicholas to the inhabitants of War saw is a consistent, a sedate, harmonious, and satisfac tory expression of that sort of humanity and that sort of will which might be expected from the Autocrat of Siberia ; and our correspondent pronounces, that he will follow up his threat, for that Warsaw will surely be annihilated by the Muscovite cannon. Well ! This will speak at least to the humanity of the people of England and of Europe, if not to the sympathies or to the sagacity of their rulers. This is a mocking of hu man nature, which the veriest day-labourer in all Christendom will relish as a whetter to his appetite for deep and full revenge. The crime we believe will be committed, and if vengeance be taken by the unsophis ticated people of Europe, it will indeed be magnificent as it will be complete. But one word more. In our estimation the plots of Russia against the Turkish empire, instead of being suffered to withdraw the scru tiny of Englishmen from her persecutions of Poland, ought to render every freeman throughout the world more watchful and inveterate against her The subju gation of Turkey would infinitely aggravate the mis chiefs and dangers arising out of the state of Poland. Russia annihilating Poland would be terrible. Russia annihilating Turkey as well as Poland would be pretty nearly irresistible. The risk in which both these coun tries are placed compels us to regard each with a .more profound and intense anxiety.—Times. COURT ,OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN.-THE KING V. GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN, ESQ.—After a pro tracted trial of two days, the defendant in this case was, last Saturday, found guilty. The facts of the case (ac cording to the Pilot) as stated by the Attorney-General, are as follow :—lt was an. indictment for a misdemeanour in forging a letter to the Right Hon. Edward John Little ton with the view to deceive the Lord Lieutenant, touch ing the assistant-barristership of Mayo. Mr. Johnston had served the office of assistant-barrister for twenty-seven years, five of which were in Mayo. The traverser is also a gentleman of the bar, of the requisite standing, and was anxious to get an appointment. The sessions for Mayo oc curred on the 9th of October, at Claremorris. On the Gth the traverser wept to the Castle and handed in the letter, which is the subject of this indictment It was dated 3d October, 1834, and was to the effect that Mr. Johnston tendered his resignation, claiming a retiring pension. On 7th of October the traverser handed a letter to Mr. Craig, Mr. Littleton's private secretary, apprising him that the sessions were near. The late Mr. Maurice King was ac cordingly, for that term, sent down to Mayo, and Mr. Johnston, as a matter of course, had no power to sit and discharge the duties. When Mr. King went down, he found Mr. Johnston discharging the duties. Letters had been written by the Government to the Clerk of the Peace to adjourn the sessions, in order to give time ; but the let ters missed, and Mr. Johnston was accordingly sitting when Mr. King arrived. Mr. Irwin also went down to Clare morris. A communication was made to the Government by Mr. King, apprising them of the facts, and that Mr. Johnston denied having resigned. On the lath of Octo ber Mr. Johnston Navin; had an interview with Mr. King, and seen his warrant, concluded that its effect was to super sede him, and he, accordingly, wrote to Mr. Littleton, stating his claim to a pension, and referring to a letter of Mr. Littleton's of the 7th. This was answered by him, in a letter requiring to know the length of his services. SHIPWRECK.--The brig Stella, of Palermo, com manded by Giovanne Cafiero, and bound for Greenock, went ashore at nine o'clock on the morning of the 18th current, at Kilhoman Bay, in the island of Islay, during a gale from the N.W. The crew were all saved by taking t 6 the 10n ' ..-boat ; but as not one of them can speak a word of English, no information regarding the cause of the wreck has yet been obtained. The vessel became a total wreck a few hours after striking ; but some casks of wine have been saved. —Edinburgh Courant. WOULD THE CZAR OF RUSSIA DESTROY WARSAW? (From a Correspondent of the Times.) The long-litigated point regar3ing the Autocrat of Rus sia's speech to the deputies of Warsaw has been disposed of ; and that it has been delivered rests, not only on the authority of the Debuts, but also on that of the Franklbrt Journal, to which it had been sent by some correspondent at Warsaw, or not improbably by Russian authorities themselves, who have, on many occasions, employed that paper as an organ. The threat held out of the destruc tion of Warsaw by the cannon of the citadel is then true, and the only question is, whether it was intended as a mere warning, or for execution in the case given. We say that it was intended for execution. Human minds may shrink from admission of any such demoniac idea for humanity's sake, and the friends of Nicholas, if Lis acts have left him any, for his own credit ; but what is advanced remains more than probable, and reasons may be found for it—lst, in the system of Russian rule ; and 2d„ in the character of the present Emperor. We can prove it from history. The disasters arising from the Russian rule of governing are not of a recent date. The Muscovite Government has been for ages hostile to the liberty on Slavonian ground, to the Slavonian tribes and nations, as it now menaces the whole of Western Europe. Ancient Slavonia was an extensive democracy ; and in different parts independent states, communities, and cities sprang up in accordance with that principle. In Russia were seen two powerful cities, Pskow and Novogrod, flour ishing by industry and commercial connections with Greece and Germany, as ancient treaties attest. They were re publics, had a government of elders composed and elected by their own citizens. They fostered and kept safe guard over the national liberties of Slavonia. Their independence of the Russian knazes or dukes was so clearly defined, that the latter had only so much power over them as was allowed them by compact. So late as the 13th or 14th century, we find the records of several compacts of this description between Jaroslaw, the Duke of Twer, and Novogrod. But what has become of those city republics ? What of Pskow ? What of Novogrod ? And what of its large territory, where the dukes were prohibited from building villages, even from entering it themselves or their officers, but ac cording to stipulations fixed by mutual compact ? The might of Novogrod was such as to have become proverbial. " Who can any thing against God and the mighty Novo grod ?" has been repeated all over Russia ; but the city, Pskow, Wiazma, and others, became the object of plunder and oppression, were gradually losing their ground and franchises, until they fell into decay, victims of the Musco vite system of aggression and violence. The usual mode pursued by Russia for ingrafting the reign of despotism and crushing liberties has ever been the demoralization of the people by fraud and intrigue, and by depriving nations, tribes, and cities, of all means of resist ance, by open and secret plunder. Force breaks down the rest ; and the work is accomplished by extermination or transferring the inhabitants to some other place. The city of Novogrod was the first victim of that system in the 15th century ; it was robbed of its riches, and the citizens who were foremost in defence of its prerogatives were either ex terminated or dispersed all over the territory of what was then Muscovy. This was done by John the Terrible. But this system, barbarous as it is, not only has not been discontinued, but has been refined upon and made perfect by the successive Czars, and proved more or less cruel ac cording to the personal character of each ; yet it was always combined with the utter disregard of human rights. We select instances from the later reigns, which pass for more civilized than those which preceded them. In Mr. Eton's travels in 1778 we find a narrative of a translocation of the inhabitants under the reign of Catherine 11. The reason for that measure is not stated, and might not have been known by any one, for the history of despotism is never clear. The passage runs so :-- " While I was in the quarantine at the Russian frontier there passed 75,000 Christians, obliged by the Russians to emigrate from the Crimea. These people were sent to inhabit the country abandoned by the Nogai Tartars near the west coast of the Sea of Avail' (Palus Mmotis) ; but the winter coming on before the houses built for them were ready, a great part of them had no other shelter from the cold than what was afforded them by holes dug in the ground, covered with what they could procure. They were people who all came from comfortable homes, and the greatest part perished. 7,000 only were alive a few years ago." Captain Jones, in his travels in 1827, mentions a trans location, no less destructive of human life, which occurred under the reign of Alexander, in 1824 : " Not mere than three years ago, 25,000 souls were ordered to be removed from the frontiers of Poland to the territory of the Tchernemorski Cossacks, their numbers having greatly diminished, from various causes, since their compulsory migra tion by Catherine. The reinforcement arrived in the begin ning of winter, when numbers perished from the inclemency of the season, and from want; strange to say, the only reason given for this injudicious time for removal was, that the order had arrived to transport them, and that, consequently, they could not be returned in the population report of the new year as inhabitants of the old government, arid must be included in that of the Tchernemorski Cossacks." This system, horrible in itself, is apt to be rendered more execrable, as we have observed, by the individual character of the Czar. In this respect Nicholas has not been behind any of his Tartar predecessors. We quote the following proofs in confirmation : " In 1830, shortly before the revolution in Poland, dis turbances had broken out at Sebastopol, in the Crimea, which is an excellent port, the same in which the Russian navy is building. The entente (for such it might be called, it having had nothing political in view) was occasioned in consequence of quarantine regulations, at the time of the breaking out of the cholera. A sanatory cordon was esta blished around the town for the purpose of protecting com merce, and its inhabitants were to be provided with the neces saries of life out of the Government stores, and a commission, composed of three generals and a certain number of inferior eniployis, had been appointed for that special purpose. But the circumstances of the commissariat officers having been, according to the Russian custom, mere intent upon filling their pockets with rubles than supplying the inhabitants with provisions, had caused a famine ; and persons, especially those of the lower classes, were often met dead from star vation on the public roads and walks, and even under the windows where the commissioners were lodged. The wretched inhabitants, long a prey to such misery, were at last driven to despair, and revolted. In one night, men, women, and children, collected in crowds, forced their way into the houses of the three Generals, who were the authors of the calamity, and in their rage tore them to pieces. This when done, they committed no excess. Next morning a body of troops who had been sent fur to put down the mutiny ar rived, and were much astonished at meeting with no oppo sition in the town, and finding all quiet. A report of the whole transaction was despatched to the Emperor Nicholas, who appointed a special commission of inquiry, composed of Count Woronzoff, Governor of Odessa, and General Witt. They had also been empowered to act as judges with the greatest rigour. In their report to the Emperor, the com missioners stated the impossibility of discovering all the par ticipators in the crime ; but that, to satisfy the law, they had sentenced six of the most culpable to be knouted, and then to be banished to Siberia ; and that to execute this, only the confirmation or mitigation of the sentence by his Majesty was wanting. The report has at last returned from St. Petersburgh, with the answer of the Czar. It was written with his own hand, on its margin, and contained- 4 The six convicts must be hanged ; other 36 must be found out for knouting, and if they survive —[Five strokes with the knout are sufficient to kill any man] —for sending them to Siberia for life ; and then let the town of Sebastopol be razed to the ground.' Count Woronzoff and General Witt wrote that the Imperial orders should be obeyed, but they were bold enough to represent that by destroying the town trade and navigation might be injured, and that the razing of the town would cost the Government a large sum. These financial considerations, more than anything else, induced the Czar to revoke his savage ordinance ; and he did it in these terms Let not the town Sebastopol be razed with the ground ; but let all its inhabitants, without any exception, be dispersed in the villages of the Crimea and employed as serfs of the Government in tillage. Let the Bulgarians, who emigrated from Turkey with the Russian army, be settled in Sebastopol.' " The latter order of the Czar was literally executed : The Polish revolution, which shortly after broke out, and proved unsuccessful in its issue, afforded Nicholas an op portunity for giving vent to his rage and revenge, and de veloping in full extent, the despotic principle peculiar to the Czars of Muscovy. Who could have read but with the utmost horror a secret ordinance of his commanding the trans p or tation of the Polish families of Podolia ? That ordinance is dated the 9th (21st) of November, 1831, and is in these terms : " The Emperor has deigned to issue a supreme order to make the-necessary regulation for transporting, in the first instance, 5,000 families of Polish Gentlemen of the Govern ment of Podolia to the Steppes of Tartary, and in prefe rence, on the Line, or in the district of Caucasus, that those transplanted may be enrolled in the public service." Those persons who had come in under the faith of am nesty of the Emperor, persons who had been pardoned, and were as if they had never offended, and persons whom the local authorities looked to with distrust—that is, all persons whom they chose, at their discretion, to select for punishment, were chosen, with their families, to be the vic tims of this barbarous ukase. And this order was extended to eight governments—that is 40,000 Polish families. The Czar appears himself to have felt the enormity of the crime be had been committing, since he enjoined the Governor of Podolia to keep it secret. " Your Excellency will make use of all necessary means (without publishing or making known the tenour of this order) to register the families that are to be transported, in order that you may begin, without delay the execution of this order, ac cording to the rules which will be afterwards communicated to you." The recent speech of Nicholas to the municipal body o Warsaw has astonished Europe ; but after all that had been done in Poland by him, in consequence of his adherence to the Russian established policy, and by the natural bent of his own Autocratic character —as abolition of national laws and institutions, unlawful confiscations, inhuman carrying off of children, most of whom perished on the road—acts which have also been long disbelieved, and which, nevertheless, proved true, are so many crimes rlready executed, and far worse than the fulfilment of his threat of destroying War .saw. That threat only affords another proof of the policy pursued by Russian government, which is, by preparing men's minds for the worst that may happen, to diminish the effect when the evil is done. In 24 hours Europe may now receive ne ws o f Warsaw's walls being beaten dowrri by the batteries of the Citadel, and its inhabitants either buried under its ruins, or dragged away as rebels from their domes tic hearths into Russian bondage. Pretexts will not be wanting : real or feigned, it matters little. The Czar hav ing announced his designs to Europe, they have become tantamount to law for his slaves. To-morrow, even to-day, a plot might be hatched, an einuete planned, and its execu tion manoeuvred by the Russian authorities themselves, to have the doom of Warsaw consummated. This is only re tracing the same plan on a small scale, the execution of which before the late revolutim had been attempted by the Czar's Commissioner himself (Novosilt zolf ) on a lager scale. _The Poles, especially young Poles, were excited by his secret agents to form plots, in order to effect the destrue• tion of Poland, which was long in contemplation. The nation has so long in various ways been goaded by persecution and oppression that the revolution broke out, and the ruin of Poland, as intended, was consummated. In the same man lier he (now the Chancellor of Russia), or any of the ene mies of Warsaw, might now seal the fate of her capital. All he has to do is to excite an emitete, and the Governor of the Citadel, as Nicholas himself said " has already got his instructions how to act." John the Terrible had several centuries back left so much at least of the proud Novogrod, that it still retains traces of its former glory ; but we much fear lest under the paternal reign of Nicholas, the Polish capital be made a single heap of stones, and " not to be built," as he himself has declared, "in his time.' This promise of his bein ,, an emanation of his own will—of his Autocratic self to be more strictly acted upon than the oath he had taken on his coronation-day, which he was compelled to swear on the charter, and by the charter, by a law not his own, but imposed on him, and by which alone he had any thing to do .at Warsaw. Law acts always at some res traint, but will, when unbridled, knows no bounds ; from that will the worst results may be anticipated for Warsaw. WEST INDIA CLAIMS.—The broker for the. AC countant-General laid out about 150,0001. sterling to day (Tuesday) in Consols, which amounts to rather more than 170,0001. Stock, and was eagerly supplied at 91i. This bargain makes the total investments of the Court of Chancery on account of unsettled and abeyed claims, to amount about to the sum of three millions, seven hundred thousand Stock, and, as usual after the transactions of the Chancery broker, our quotations will show that the Con sol Market again declined. The business effected by the Chancery broker to-day (Tuesday) has generally been es teemed to be the last that would be done before the usual period of the shutting, which, in the ordinary manner, and as regards the transactions of the public in Consols for money, would take place on the Gth instant, but an impres sion prevails that an arrangement will be made with the Bank of England to extend the period for keeping the transfer-books of the Bank of England open until the 18th instant, exclusively in favour of the .Chancery broker, which necessity is said to arise out of the increasing amount of unsettled claims that cannot at present be adju dicatea, and which, according to the terms of the Slave Abolition Act, must be invested in Consols. This antici pated arrangement has been looked upon with a great deal of suspicion by the leading monetary interests, and on the. Stock Exchange, and it is supposed that if this anti cipation is confirmed, the present feeling will rather increase than the contrary. At all events, such an announcement will prove very contretemps, and it wears too much of the character of a puff. If the plan to which we have alluded is carried into effect, it will prove that the financial scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which appeared on the first blush equitable to the country and to the contractor, now turns out to be one of the greatest blunders that ever was attempted. At the West end of the town it has also been confidently rumoured that the present Administration have determined not to issue, in future, any more Exche quer Bills than are strictly necessary for the public ser vice, unless a panic were again to visit our Money Market. This determination, which will involve the only remaining expansive character of the circulating medium under our present vicious monetary system, is expected to lead to a great increase of caution on the part of the banking and mo netary interests in general.—Morning Paper. (City article.) ALARMING AND EXTENSIVE FIRE IN TOTTEN RAM-COURT-ROAD.—Tuesday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, the utmost possible alarm and excitement took place in the neighbourhood of Store-street, Tottenham court-road, in consequence of a very alarming fire breaking out on the lower part of the premises of Mr. Chinnock, an upholsterer, of No. 119. The front doors were burst open by the populace, who, with the police, entered the house, but so rapid was the extent of the flames, and the density of smoke, that they could not make any progress, and the inmates were compelled to make their escape from the windows, lowering each other into the street ; in doing which, one female fell and was considerably injured; a child also belonging to one of the lodgers was thrown out, and has received such severe injuries that it is not likely to survive. At a quarter before 12 the flames had gained a fearful ascendancy ; but providentially several engines ar rived on the spot, and there being happily a plentiful 'sup ply of water, the engines played with great effect. There were also present a number of the fire brigademen whose exertions upon the occasion was highly praiseworthy. Whilst the destructive element was annihilating the pre mises of Mr. Chinnock, with their contents, the greatest possible exertions were made to preserve the property in the adjoining houses—viz., Mr. Corbett's, librarian and sta tioner, and Mr. Allison, linendraper. The premises of Mr. Lennard, a timber-merchant, situated at the back of Mr. Chinnock's, were also likely to be destroyed, and at one o'clock a vast quantity of the timber lad caught fire. At the above hour no less than seven engines were playing upon the fire, which, however, still continued to rage, and several houses in Alfred-place, at the back of Tottenham court-road, had partially caught ; however, by the united exertions of the fireman, aided by the brigademen, at half past one o'clock the fire had considerably abated, and all fear from further devastation was at an end. We regret to say, that independent of the accidents above mentioned, there were two females missing at the above hour (the niece and servant of Mr. Chinnock), but we hope they have taken refuge in some neighbours's house. The de struction of property is considerable, but is insured. At a quarter before two o'clock. the fire was completely got under. Since the above account was written we regret that this calamitous fire has been attended with the loss of no less than four lives. The names of the unfortunate suf ferers are, William Davis, aged 38, a bookbinder, residing on the second floor ; Amen:Singer, aged 21, niece to Mrs. Chinnock ; Louiza Tozer, aged 24 ; and Catherine Rogers, aged 22 years, both servants in the house. The body of Miss Singer was dug out of the ruins yesterday, at half past 12 o'clock, lying with the two maid servants ; they, it appears, bad fled for security into one of the store-rooms. The legs and arms of two were sadly broken—the bodies in a mutilated state, and the skull of one completely di vided. At 11 the remains of Mr. Davis, an inmate, had been previously discovered. Mr. Chinnock's four young sisters escaped in a miraculous manner over the parapet into the adjoining houses, and his father and mother were saved by means of sheets and blankets joined to gether. The ignition was so rapid that no sooner did one flame appear than the whole suite of shops, manu factory, and store-rooms, presented one entire blaze. We regret to state that the loss and destruction of pro perty is immense, not one vestige being saved, every in mate even being without covering of any description. The workmen employed in the manufactory are very numerous, and they have lost every tool of which they were possessed. It is not true that either of the Misses Chinnock was dan gerously wounded. The whole of the family are doing well. The bodies were removed to Mr. Reid's, the under taker, to await a Coroner's inquest. Another fire broke out yesterday morning in the premises of the Phoenix Gas Company, Bankside, South wark ; but owing to the quick arrival of several engines, the flames were subdued without doing so much damage as it was at first anticipated. A dreadful fire broke out at Mrs. Holt's, of Edg cott, near Grendon Underwood, about six o'clock last Sa turday evening. The property destroyed was as follows : two bean ricks, two wheat ditto, two oat ditto, a barley ditto, a stack of straw, two large ditto of hay, a very large barn, a cart-hovel, and part of the house. The conflagra tion of such combustible materials, as may be supposed, was awfully grand, and its light, at five miles distance, almost equalled that of the moon. A candle and lantern were found under one of the ricks. The Marquis of Cliandos with other gentlemen have been indefatigable in fathoming particulars to lead to its author, but no suspicion can be found. On Sunday (the following day) the Mar quis, with his family, visited the wild ruins, and an accident happened which had nearly been serious. As their carriage was passing along, some boys who were at p l ay not h ee di ng it, blundered against a wheel, bruising and otherwise lacerat in.. him. The Marq uis exculp a t e d his coachman from blame, had the boy taken home, surgical assistance ren dered, and gave five pounds for his comforts to his-friends. His bounty was also bestowed on all who assisted at the fire, rewarding each with a crown, and an additional sove reign to his own men attached to the engine. Since the great fire at Wooton, which reduced to ruins his own splendid mansion, he has always kept in order a fire engine, with a set of men, who are called instantly together by a horn.— Oxford Journal. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL'. Yesterday a CoUrt was held for the despatch of a great deal of public business. FLOGGING IN TIIE ARMY. Mr. BAYLIS rose to give notice of a motion on a subject deeply involving the, national character, and, therefore, a subject on which the Corporation might becomingly express their opinion. It was, " That this Court do. petition both Houses of Parliament for the immediate abolitio❑ of the cruel, barbarous, and demoralising system of military flog ging, as still practised in the British army." THE VACANT GOWN FOIL BASSISHAW WAILD. The COURT assented to the admission of a great many inhabitants of the Ward of Bassishaw to the freedom of the City. The Aldermanie gown of this Ward is vacant, Sir C. S. Hunter having resigned it for the purpose of stepping into that of Bridge, to which no duties are annexed, and a sharp contest is anticipated, from the great anxiety upon the part of the two candidates (Mr. Ten; and Air. White) to have their friends sworn in as freemen. APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPOINT AN ALDERMAN. Mr. STEVENS rose to introduce a subject of considerable interest and importance to the citizens of London. He held in his hand a petition exactly suited to the spirit of the age, from the most respectable inhabitants of the ward of Bridge-without, who were aware that a vacancy had oc curred in the Aldermanic situation, and wished to fill it up with an Alderman of their own.—(Cheers.) A better op portunity than ayhat moment presented itself could not occur, and he trusted that the Court would grant all the facilities in their power in a matter involving such impor tant privileges. Mr. Stevens then entered into a historical account of the situation of the borough, in which originally, he contended, the inhabitants exercised the right to elect their own Aldermen. Formerly it was the prac tice of the inhabitants of the city of London to re turn three or four Aldermen for the ward to the Court of Aldermen, and that Court Inade its election of one from the number. Afterwards, however, the practice fell into desuetude, and the Court of Aldermen_ returned one of their own body to Bridge Ward. It was the custom to transfer to the Ward of Bridge the oldest Alderman in the Court, who thus was invested with all the honours of the office without any of the fatigues. Mr. CORNER (for the petitioners) assured the Court that the petition was signed by a great number of the, most re spectable persons in the borough, of all political opinions, who united to procure a restoration of the privileges for merly enjoyed, and to which they considered themselves entitled. Mr. STEVENS moved that the petition be referred to the Committee of General Purposes. Mr. DIxoN said - it was high time that the matter should be settled. He should second the motion, for the purpose of coming to an ultimate and decisive arrangement. The petition was referred to the Committee. PENALTIES FOR CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD. Mr. PRIOR, in rising to bring up the Report of the City Lands' Committee, felt it his duty to state that, although it was his private opinion that the Report should be pro ceeded with, yet in deference to the request of Mr. C. Pearson, who was interested for the Sheriffs in support of their claim, and who requested that the Report should be printed, he should move to that effect. The Report stated that the amount recovered was about 9,9001., and recom mended the distribution in the following order : To Mr. Farrar, his fee of 11. Is. per cent. on the fine Messrs. Tilleard, for costs 909 0 6 Messrs. Woolan and Co., -for costs 873 14 10 Ditto, for loss by debt 2,000 0 0 To Sheriffs Under-Sheriffs' costs The remainder to be reserved in payment of City costs of action, &c.--Ordered to be printed. ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN THE ME• TROPOLIS. Mr. C. PEARSON said that the Members of the Court had probably read in the newspapers the remarks made by Mr. Hume, as foreman of the Grand Jury at the Old Bailey, upon various topics connected with the adminis tration of criminal justice in the metropolis, particularly in respect of the great number of juvenile offenders who were subjected to the moral contamination of a gaol while awaiting their trial in Newgate. The subjects mentioned by Mr. Hume involved questions of the deepest import, and deserved the most serious consideration of the Corpo ration. Mr. Pearson then gave the following notices : " That it be referred to a Committee to inquire and state to this Court the various arrangements which have been made at the Session-house, in the Old Boiley, for the administra tion of public justice within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court since its establishment, and also to report whether in their opinion any and what alterations may be made therein, to insure to the public a greater amount of benefit from the increased charge which has been and will be entailed upon the Corporation by the extension of the jurisdiction. " That the said Committee do report to this Court the ex isting state of Newgate, and whether, in their opinion, 'any and what improved arrangements may be made, which, while they ensure the safe custody of the prisoners, will combine their minute and careful classification, as recommended by his Majesty's Ministers, an object at all times important to prison discipline, but more particularly so in the case of untried pri soners, to prevent the moral contamination► resulting from the indiscriminating intercourse of prisoners of every variety of age, habit, and crime. That the said Committee do inquire and report whether it would be practicable to make some, and what regulations, to ensure the speedy trial of juvenile offenders within the ju risdiction of the Central Criminal Court. " That the Committee do further report to this Conrt what would in each case be the probable charge upon the corporate funds of any such proposed alterations, as well of those which they may, as of those which they may not, recommend for adoption." INDEPENDENCE OF THE COURT. Mr. GALLOWAY brought up a Report on the reference moved by Mr. Baylis for prohibiting the transaction of any business for, or receiving any orders from, the Court of Al dermen, either directly or indirectly, by members of the Common Council, which was agreed to unanimously. Ad journed. CHANCERY COURT.-WEDNESDAY WHEAT V. GRAHAM. Sir C. PEPYS, at the sittting of the Court, gave judgment in this case which was argued during the Term. It was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor directing the defendants, who are extensive ironmongers, in Thames street, to fulfil their contract for the purchase of certain iron works at Silkstone, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1815 the defendants were the partners of a person named Hartopp, in some extensive iron works at Milton, in York shire ; but in consequence of being agents for several iron manufacturers, they, for very obvious reasons, did not permit their names to appear in the partnership transaiations, and the works were carried on under ,the firm of Hartopp and Co. At Silkstone, within about six miles of the works of Milton, a person named Bland had erected an extensive blast furnace, and Hartopp being of opinion that it would be highly profitable to his establishment to become the pro prietor of the works at Silk Stone entered into an a g reement with Bland for their junction, for a sum o f 1,0001. This was in March, 1825 ; shortly after which the defendants were alleged to have taken possession, and as the contract had not yet been fulfilled by the payment of the money on the part of Hartopp, who had-since become bankrupt, the simple questions to be determined were, whether the defendants, as the solvent partners of Hartopp, had recognized his contract to purchase the works of Silkstone, and whether, having so recognised it, there was such a contract as ,that Court could call on them to perform. The first question in the cause was, therefore, one purely of fact. The de fendants admitted that in 1827 the works at Silkstone were carried on for the benefit of the firm ; indeed, the point was clearly established by the evidence, but they denied that they authorised or knew anything of the contract to purchase in 1825. Now, having denied that fact, the de fendants, at all events, should have offered some evidence to show at what time they did become aware of the con tract to purchase. On that point, however, they were si lent. Under all the circumstances, their Lordships were of opinion that the appellants having appealed on a matter of fact, and having failed to satisfy the Court that their assertions with respect to that matter-of-fact were correct, the appeal from the order of the Vice-Chancellor must be dismissed, and dismissed also with all costs. COMMON PLEAS.-WEDNESDAY. WILKS V. WOOD. This was an action against the Sheriff of Northampton shire, to recover three penalties under the 7th of Henry VIII., for charging more than 4d. as a fee on granting a warrant on a writ. There was no fact to go to the Jury. A verdict for 1201. being the amount of the three penal ties, subject to a nonsuit, was entered for the plaintiff, on a point raised by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for the consideration of the Court above as to whether the London agents un der the Uniformity Process Act were virtually and bonafide the Sheriffs under the late Act, or whether the warrant was the same Warrant meant by the 7th of Henry VIII. CONSISTORY COURT, WEDNESDAY WALKER V. WALKER. This was a suit for divorce, originally brought by the wife against the husband, on the ground of cruelty, which was responded to on the part of the husband by a charge of adultery. Upon an allegation of faculties, and the answers to it, the Court had formerly considered Mrs. Walker en titled to be alimented at the rate of fifty-two guineas a-year. Mr. Walker had subsequently transferred his property to trustees, for the purpose of paying to certain of his credi tors, six shillings in the pound ; but was, however, thrown into prison at the suit of a creditor who did not consent to this, conveyance, and remained there from the 7th of April to the Ist of June last, when he was liberated under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Previous to this he had been pronounced in contempt by this Court, for refusing to paY alimony and costs which it had decreed. Mr. Walker's prayer now. was tl:at he ►night be permitted to sue in forma laupera. • 1)r. ADDAMS opposed the prayer,,but was interrupted by The Coua•r, who suggested that before any .steps were taken it was necessary that Mr. Walker sAuld be purged of th,- contempt in which he now stood with n2spect to the Court. This was accordingly effected by his averring that all his property was disposed of under the provisions of the In solvent Debtors' Act. Dr. ADDAMS proceeded—From the affidavit of the wife and others, w::o were at least fully as worthy of credit as the husband and those who had sworn with him, it waS sufficiently evident that not only was I\ir. Walker in the receipt of the profits of one of the best stands i n th e Pan theon Bazaar, but that, even were he otherwise without property, his skill as a watchmaker would procure him a maintenance sufficient to prevent the Court from admitting him as a pauper. De. PHILLIMORE urged that ,Mr.. Walker's solemn affi davit, with those of several other creditable persons, was sufficient to satisfy the Court that he bad no interest what ever in the stand at the Pantheon Bazaar. Dr. LusitiNoToN said that the sole question to deter mine was, whether Mr. Walker could be admitted a pauper in this suit. It would not be necessary for the Court to go into the minute circumstances to decide Whether the stand at the Pantheon Bazaar belonged to Mr. Walker or to the person whose name appeared there, because he was quite satisfied that Mr. Walker might procure, by labouring in ,his trade, sufficient property to disentitle him from suing as a pauper. Folio Wing the principle laid down by his pre decessors in these cases, where the wife naturally looked for maintenance from the husband until her guilt had been de cided, he considered that he should be violating the law by admitting Mr. Walker as a pauper ; but of course w ith respect to any future circumstances in the case he should defer giving any opinion. Mr. Waikees prayer was accordingly rejected. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday an individual of singular appearance was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with having created a disturbance at St. James's Palace. The defendant went to the Palace the previous night and demanded admittance► asserting that he was a so❑ of the late King, and conse quently that his present Majesty King William was his uncle. It was found necessary, on account of his pertina city, to give him into the custody of the police. At the station-house he gave his name George Frederick Augustus Guelph, and persisted in asserting his relationship to Royalty. Mr. DYER directed that the defendant should be de tained, and that some inquiries should be made respecting him of a boot-maker in Fleet-street, for whom he had lately worked. LAMBETH - STREET. Yesterday William Jourdan, Thomas Sullivan, and Jeremiah Sullivan, three fashionably-dressed young wee* who are members of the " swell mob," were placed within the felons' bar, before Mr. WALKER, charged, two of thee' with being concerned in the extensive robbery at the Cu s tom House, in November 1834, and stealing nearly 6,000 h in bank notes and gold. The same two prisoners will be also charged with being concerned in breaking into the warehouse of Messrs. Hall and Co., on the Custom House quay, in February last, and stealing therefrom jewels to the amount of upwards of 7,0001. belonging to a foreign Conn', tess, which were deposited there, beside a quantity 01 watches and other property. James Lea, the officer, for the last two months, had bee° engaged almost night and day in tracing out the prisoners Thomas Sullivan and William Jourdan from one place to another, and on that morning he succeeded in apprehend , ing them at the Red Lion public-house in King-street , Bloomsbury, where they had been lodging since the Friday before. Having, after much difficulty, •ascertained to his satisfaction that they were the parties who had committed the extensive robbery at the Custom House on the night of the 28th of November, 1834, he (Lea) found out their re sidence in the neighbourhood of Kensington, but they having by some means ascertained that he was on the look out for them, at once left the neighbourhood in the latter end of the week, and since that time the furniture in their houses was removed piecemeal to different places, but by closely watching the movements of the parties, he (Lea) found that they went occasionally to the Red Lion public house in King-street, Bloomsbury. This circumstance in duced him to call at that house, and from inquiries he had made, he learned that two gentlemen had been stopping there since Friday last, whose description answered pre' cisely that of the persons whom he was in pursuit of. Ne first found the prisoner Sullivan, and while in the ac t of handcuffing him, Jourdan entered the house, and he secured him also. The third prisoner, Jeremiah Sullivan, who Wes the brother of Thomas Sullivan, came to the house as be was about to remove the prisoners to this Office, and having known him to be actively engaged in removing property from both the other prisoners' previous residences, he felt it to be his duty to take him into custody. In reply to a question from Mr. WALKER, Lea had 1 10 reason to suspect the third prisoner of being concerned is the Custom-house or any other robbery. Mr. WALKER observed that under these circumstances be could not detain the prisoner Jeremiah Sullivan, and be wa s in consequence discharged. The other prisoners—by the recommendation of Mr' Humphries, who attended as their Solicitor—refused saying anything in their defence, and they were remanded for one week. When the prisoners were removed from the bar to the strong room, Lea exhibited to the Magistrates two despe rate weapons, generally called " life-preservers," which he found in two trunks belonging to the prisoners. He ale ° found on the person of Jourdan a receipt for 1001., lodged in the banking-house of Messrs. Weston and Young, dated e the 12th of October ; and on Sulli van t wo bl an k c h e cks 01 the banking-house of Messrs. Glynn, Halifax, Mills, 110 ' Co. After Lea had handcuffed the prisoner Sullivan, the latter told him that he should never have done so had b e had a pistol in his possession, as he would certainly .hav e shot him,first. • It was stated that the prisoners h ave re t urne d to thi s country within the last two years from America, with $ most extensive booty, having succeeded while there je breaking into two or three banking-houses, besides va rious private houses and public offices. They are also sus pected, of being concerned since their return in various other jevre robberies in different parts of the metropolis.
