SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We insert to-day a r,ro; ir.od:2t article from the Fran.gbrt Journal, on the cause that has led to the suspension of diplomatic intercourse on the part of our Goveriun;mt with the Archth*e of Modena. Otir luarrel with that _,rest. Potentate arose fr,un sal to . apologize for a series of articles full of ti:e inost offensive observation; upon the British nation. As in Modena the censor: bin enforced, whatever appears in the journals, especially in the official jour nal of that State, the " Voce della Verita" must in fact betaken to be sanctioned by the Government it self—it .was incumbent, therefore, upon our Se(Tetary of State for Foreign _Affairs to demand an apology for such authorized libels ; and this being refused; the mispension of intereorme necessarily followed. 'Where uriion the Frani : Jim" „rolzrnal takes up the question , and argues that there , , can be no equality of position between constitutional overnments, and those of strictly monarchical States, unless, in the former, the • Press be absolutely prohibited from making any allusion to the persons of foreign Sovereigns. This suggestion, adds the writer, is made by ana logy to the changes which have lately taken place in the laws for regulating the Press in France. Wc hive been amongst those film resisted those altera tions in the French laws, especially as to the prohi bition to make any 'allusions to the person of the Kiln long as he continued to preside in his own Cabinet, and to share in its deliberations. In a con stitutional country, the person of the King ought to be, as it is with us, perfectly imiolable ; but it is so only so long as he assumes no responsibility. In France, the pretext for the alteration is indefensible enough ; but in countries where no Constitution exists, whew every thing is done by the Sovereign himself, where his will is law, and where, by putting his to an ukase, he may confiscate, as - has been done in Poland, the property of a whole nation, it is indeed the thought of " a fool" to suppose it possible, for one moment, that the acts of such an authority should not be freely canvassed wherever a free preSs is established. Nothing can be more pre-eminently silly than the sort of excuse which the Frankfort scribe— the Secretary, perhaps, of the Russian Embassy in that place—derives from the absence of such a prohibition in England, for the conduct of his •worthy ally of Modena. All the world knows that there is, in fact, no such thing as an official Press in this countri, and that our Government can be no more responsinte-for what appears in any of our jour nals, than a. person living at the antipodes. Neverthe less, the Frankfort writer has the calm assurance to contend—for that is the drift of his argument, though he does not unfold it in so' many words—that because the Press of England sometimes attacks foreign 'Sove reigns, therefore the Archduke of Modena, and of course the Emperor of Russia, are at liberty to libel the character, and to insult the honour of the whole • British people. 'We have no objection to see this ar gument put to the test of experience. Let the Russian *bribe begin as soon as he pleases to follow the example of his Modenese champion. We presume that he and his Imperial master are prepared for the consequences. In one sense the Frankfort article affords us unmiti gated satisfaction. It shows pretty clearly that the animadversions of the British Press upon the Warsaw oration; have provoked the bile pf the Autocrat. — Morning Chronicle. How far Lord Melbourne has acted. the" part of fugleman and drill-serjeant to the recent anti-peerage parades must have been .made sufficiently plain, we think, by the extracts from the orderly-book shown up by Eneas IVlacdonnell. A single false manoeuvre, or hostile attitude, on the part of the noble official, we should have attached•no other importance to, than as indicating his deficiency in the - discretion and self government which are usually desideratcd for the proper government of others. In that case, a momentary ebullition of temper might fairly have been made re sponsible for what his sober reason would condemn. But when we see his signs and utterances repeated - by his immediate subalterns ; responded to by the recruits whom he is sworn and paid to discipline 'Ka constitu tional allegiance ; chronicled in black-letter ; expressed by sun -rise ; couriered in the evening, and telegraphed to the utmost limits of the globe, without being dis claimed, retracted, or explained away, except by such indefinite verbiage, and indirect agency, as may mean anything or nothing—we may justly conclude, not only that he has conveniently placed himself at the head of a conspiracy against the Lords, with the view 'of frightening them into a surrender, recoiled from equally by their sounder judgment and in4endent privileges, "it that the countenance which he and his Cabinet staff have given to that conspiracy is, after all, entitled to the supreme contempt of their own wretched'dupes, as well as their opponents, just because there is not one particle of sincerity about it—it being nothing more than a despicable political feint—an artful ex periment upon public feeling for a temporary pur pose—an insolent defiance, which never was meant to be realized—a tricky Taunt, which, while implying such levity and looseness of political principle as must incur the reprobation of every honest mind, was only intended to gull their followers with a show .of move ment, to be afterward shrunk from with their instinc tive selfishness and timidity. Nor can we get rid o! the suspicion pressed upon us of late by various de• velopments, that this double treachery to their par, . . sans and the Constitution is traceable in some other of their manoeuvres, besides their menaces against the Peers. The whole course of their proccdure• in re ference to the Irish Church Appropriation Clause, is, in our opinion, an apt illustration of this. Wheti the subject-matter of that clause was first broached in Lord Grey's Cabinet, there is now much reason to suspect j that it was contended for and won by the office-loving. portion of the then Ministry, not as a bona . fide object . • on which they honestly wished to found any practical measure, but as a convenient matter which they might keep in reserve to make a concession of afterwards, if I such a . concession were found necessary to their steddy 1 maintenance -in power. Accordingly, at the discus sion on Mr. Ward's motion, when the Government felt themselves so strong as to be under no necessity l i ' of making the concession for die sake of purchasing ..1 Popish and Radical support, their answer to Mr. • : :• Ward's proposal was, that they concurred in its princi ,..,ple, but that as the Commissioners on the Irish Church ' I . I, lpot concluded their inquiries and given in their Re '.k port; - -it was inexpedient to encourage expeetationr,, -1 by . asAtitio an abstract principle Which might lead '.to no ' t? 1"ls;:tical result. Bottling up the principle, therefore,for after use, if need were, they went quietly on with a tt.. v unimportant changes among them , seives, defYing',O'Counell with their majorities, until his Majesty, ant!.. totin g the wishes of the Country, gave them their ve at Brighton. Things w.!re thus altered with them, d not at all to their mind. 1 Being thrown into oppositt and crippled ill power • by the strength of the Consefimive Government, they soon discovered that, as the Papi?, and Destruc . tives formed a tiers parti, without w e alliance their game was hopeless, now was the tini‘ for un cmking, and decanting the p r i nc i p l e, as svplying ii materials for a tempting booze, over w h ic they might settle their former feuds, and enter into' terms of confederacy. The obstacles they had . faiinerly pleaded against the broaching of that principle, thpugh still existing a t the time, were made no account of. Forth came Lord John RusSell's out-pouring, which was swallowed by a majority ; and Lord Melbourre's reconstructed Government being again voted into ofae, by parties whose terms could neither be fully sstisied without incurring national resentment, nor wholly disregarded without Ministerial ruin, were thug by their own deed brought into a dilemma that nothing could get th em ou t o f b ut t h e cunn i ng an d unprin cipled policy which, when necessary for their nininte 'ranee in power, they have never hesitated to pursue. With a view of self-extrication, therefore, the expedient hit upon was, that they should prepare the Irish ChOrch Appropriation Bill ; blind the Papists and Radicals frith a good deal of blustering in its favour ; pA it through the Commons, and carry it up to the Lorils; : - but , all the while taking good, care to be really indl re reili about its success—an artifi ce w hi c h th e y kn ew wo Id t serve all their purpose as long as their duped support ers would take the will for the deed, and accept of a mere show of zeal, instead of its substantial proofs.

UNION HALL. Yesterday James Dinsdale, Henry Diusdale, and Anne, the wife of the former, were brought before Mr. Tn charged with stealing jewellery and plate. to the amount of 10,000!., the property of Mrs. &dishy, a lady residing in Wales.. The prisoners are all nearly allied to the complainant, James . Dinsdale being her own brother. since the alleged robbery was committed, • James Dins dale had taken a house in the neighbourhood of Oxford, where a portion s of the stolen property was found, and where, it seemed, he and the other male prisoners in tended to set up in business as chemists and - druggists. On these. premises James Dinsdale and his wile were taken into custody by inspector Fagan of th M divi sion, who, in addition to a quantity of jewelloq and plate (part of the stolen property) also succeel d in the recovery of upwards of 800 sovereigns, which sum of money is suspected to have been raised- by the prisoners on articles of plate taken from the house of M: s. Salisby en her absence from home. • The Magistrate remanded the prisoners: It is, however, a matter of doubt whether the complainant will ever appear against the accused parties, it being represented that her feelings have sustained such a shock since the incarcera tion of her own telatives on the charge, that she would rather sacrifice her whole property than appear to prose cute them under any circumstances. . ontinuance in office as the passing Of the Reform Act had been, is it to he supposed that they would not haVe taken ways and means to /Dice it into law just as effec tually as in the latter case? But, because they knew that the majority of British and Irish Protestants wete against it., they therefore wrought it up from the Com nions only as a thimble-ii ` ; trick upon the Radicals ; not caring to carry it as long as it is not forced upon them as the Lords to deal with it ad libitum, only adding a thteat or two to save appearances ; and thus contriving with infinite address to sit still a little longer, paltering in a double sense between the people and the Papists, deceiving their very allies with empty menaces against e Constitution, and keeping the word of promise to e Radical ear, but Lrcaking it to the hopes. Now, perfect keeping with this dexterous duplicity were c demonstrations of Lord Mellionrne and his At -General against the Peers. It was expedient o exhibit a given-amount of :,waggering and_ vapour ng, in order to keep the Radicals sweet. But is .here a simpleton in Britain, who believes that the Melbournes and Russells, though occasionally speak ing big with a wink to each other, have any serious thought of abandoning or curtailing the privileges of their order? &eclat Jztdceus ! But while this want of harmony • between their by-play protes tations and their real purpose can be regarded as little .else than a piece of broad farce, enacted by his Majesty's servants for the especial humbugging of the revolutionists, we feel it difficult to say whether these perfumers are most to be despised for their political dishonesty, ,or dreaded for their capacity of mischief. No persons in their eflicial ele vation can utter sentiments unfavourable to a national institution without proportionally damaging it. What their intentions may be apart from their party commi nations is nothing to the purpose. To accomplish a temporary object—that of deceiving the Radicals,—they have sought to bully and badger the Lords out of their legislative independence, and even to discredit them in the eye of the British people; and as in such circum stances, there are always multitudes of inferior retain ers who 'work upon the unreflecting, by striving to surpass, if possible, the folly, temerity, and fugle craft of their leaders, so, if these gentry retain their coronets which themselves have bewrayed, it is not be cause they have refrained from playing with a mine whose explosions might righteously unbonnet them, but because, reverencing what Shakspeare calls the " pillars of the State," on account of the strength and beauty they impart to our monarchical structure, the intelligence, genius, and patriotism of the country will protect them from demolition and decay.—Times. We are glad to learn from the Scottish papers that the commemoration of the independence of Poland is to be celebrated this day in Edinburgh, in a manner worthy of those who feel a just indignation at the manner in which that independence has been over thrown, and of the gallant people who now supplicate Europe not to forget the solemn treaty by which her principal States are bound to see that independence restored. The most liberal and the most, talented of the people of Edinburgh are to be present upon the occasion, to testify their detestation of Russian tyranny, and their sympathy with the most gallant, most oppressed, and most treacherously used people in Europe. Upwards of fifty guineas have been already subscribed, as donations for the relief of the exiled Poles, independently of the dinner tickets, which are in great request ; and it is confidently expected that besides Prince Czartoriski, Count Zamoyski, and other Poles of distinction, upwards of eighteen Polish officers, who have fought and bled for their country, be present to plead her cause, and to rouse the sympathies of our northern brethren in her behalf. This is as it should be ; and our brethren of the North ought to be the foremost and most sympa thising of Britain's sons with the defeated, but still un conquered, Poles. It is not many centuries since, with some trifling exceptions, they were, both in point of na tional independence and national religion, in nearly the same predicament as the defeated and expatriated Poles —since they had to bleed for the one, and were com pelled to cultivate die other in secret, at the peril of their lives, in dens and caves of the earth—in valleys and on the mountain tops :—and shall they not now prove their gratitude for the noble deliverance effected for them by their ancestors, by contributing largely to the Polish fund—testifying loudly their sym pathy with another people, now enveloped in a similar cloud of oppression—and endeavouring, by their ex ample, to stir up in their fellow men the desire of re dressing Poland's wrongs, and of once more reinstating her as she was and ought to be—independent and free—the barrier of Europe against the influx of bar barian hordes and uncivilized savages? While on this subject, we cannot refrain from bringing to the notice of our rcadels an article which appears in the second number of a new publication, the Portfolio (already adverted to by us), which gives " a suppressed passage of the speech of the Emperor Nicholas at Warsaw, with observations on the practical results of that speech." The suppressed passage' is as fol lows :—" On the whole I am satisfied that things have arrived at that point at which I am only Emperor of Russia ; it is in that character that you belong to nee." Whatever the speech may have been in other respects—whatever the actual words spoken—and the versions of them do not differ very essentially—the above sentence can leave no doubt on the mind of any one—if doubt could have existed in the mind of any rational and thinking person—that the Autocrat meant by them that Poland was extinct as an independent country—and was in future, in de fiance of the treaty of Vienna, to be considered in the light merely of a province of the Russian empire. In this interpretation of the matter, the author of the observations in the Fortfidio appears to agree with us ; but what will be thought of the comment made ,01'lley upon it : " The declaration of the Emperor," says it, " that the nationality of Poland is extinct, opens at once our eyes to the no less happy diplomatic than practical position which Ruisia has taken up. The revelation of Russia's view of the question necessitates an explanation—and as that view is not communicated to the allies of Russia in the form of a friendly note, but declared directly, and from authority, to the parties interested—discussion is put by. It brings them at once to a decision. Two courses are open to them—coercion applied to Russia—or submission to the fact, which is abrogation of the•right. We are clearly not prepared to coerce the Emperor into a retraction, and to proceed as then of necessity to the re-edification of the Po lish kingdom —we must therefore admit, and by our silence the admission is made, of the abstraction of Polish interest, from the international questions of Europe. Whatever event may henceforward occur in Poland can be regarded only in the light of a domestic accident, and in which fo reign interference is inadmissible, and with regard to %which inquiries of foreign powers would be impertinent." " Coercion" has not been applied to Russia, and ac cording to our author's view of the case, the submis sion thereby hula d is an " abrogation of the right" of expostulating with or coercing Rnssia at any future time. We deny the doctrine, not only on moral, but on legal grounds. All rights are, morally speaking, indefeasible by accident, by lapse of time, or through circumstances over which the injured party has no control—and in a legal point of view what stronger case can be brought forward than that of Poland ? All Europe bears testimony to the treaty which sealed her independence at Vienna—all Europe, ex cepting only Russia, is bound to see her righted ; and surely we are not to be told in the nineteenth century, that because these witnesses are for the present silent— and these guarantees for Pdland's independence in abeyance so far as active interference is concerned— the, destinies of that unhappy country are fixed, and Russia to escape free from the fulfilment of the solemn contract into which she entered ! Forbid it, all that is just and true—all that is honourable—all that is worthy of prais e amon g men — a ll that is deserving of support and wmpatliv by them ! If Europe's honour be ex tinct, thttt of Wand still lives I " Warsaw," as is romarked by 'the writer, " is not yet fortified against Europe, though a citadel is found necessary to com mand Warsaw.''--Morninff Advertiser.

Mrs. Dawes, who was also seriously injured, is still at the Red Lion in a deplorable state. She has not been made acquainted with her hus band's fate, but she seems to be aware that his absence be speaks something alarming, and she is continually calling out for her child. It is feared that she cannot survive the dreadful shock. CEP.OLTIWOHL V. COCHRANE. Mr. J. Russaar. said that this was a plea put in by the defendants, Messrs. Whittaker, Arnold, and Cook, to the bill filed against them, and the defendant, Mr. Cochrane, by the assignees 'of a bankrupt named Richter. The only connection that Messrs. Whittaker and Co. had with the triAvaction which formed the subject of the Bill was, that they were the publishers of a publication called " The Po raign Quarterly Review," which it was alleged was impro perly continued by Mr. Cochrane, the late editor of " The Foreign Quarterly Review," published by Messrs. Richter. The objection taken it the present plea was, that the bill was filed by the assignees without the consent of the creditors, which the Act of Parliament required. His HoNoun overruled the plea, with costs. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WADILOVE. This was an information arising out of the report of the Charity CommiAsionitrs. The dilendahts were the repre sentatives of the late Dean of Ripon and Dr. Webber, the present Dean and Master of the Hospital of St. John's, at Ripon. The Hospital of St. John's was founded in the year 1109, by the then Archbishop of York, and consisted of a master and two sisters. The mastership had for a long period of years always been held by the Deans of Ripon, who the information alleged had appropriated to their own use all the income and fines of the charity estate, with the exception of 1/. Os. 7d., which was annually paid to each of the sisters. The information prayed an account , and a reference to the Master for a scheme. His HONOUR said that the accounts must be taken against Dr. Webber from the time of his appointment. COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY. CORNISII V. XEENE. The Court was occupied the entire day with this case. It was an action brought upon an infringement of a patent originally obtained by Robert William Sievier, Esq., the celebrated sculptor. It was for the manufacturity , Indian rubber web, applicable for all surgical purposes as banda g es where pressure was requisite,. The specification of the patent also embraced the manufacture of cloth of two de scriptions, a coarser kind for labouring men, whose elasticity yielded to the motion of the body without tearing, inde-‘ pendently of possesshig great warmth ; and a finer kind for the much-esteemed India rubber cloaks so much in ge neral use. The plaintiff's case was concluded to-day. At the termination of the trial we will give a brief outline. EXCHEQUER COURT-MONDAY. LEWIS V. lIARTLEY. This was an action of trover for the recovery of a New foundland dog, unlawfully detained by the defendant, an inspector of police. The question was entirely one of identity, about a dozen witnesses on each side swearing with confidence to a knowledge of the animal under cir cumstances that rendered it impossible that both could be accurate. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 101., and also directed the restoration of the dog to the plaintiff. The defendant, when applied to, refused to surrender the dog. Lord ABINGER said that the form of action gave no power to compel the defendant to give up the dog : it was for the Jury to find the value of the dog. If the dog was given up by the defendant, the plaintiff could not have damages. The Jury then, after a deep deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 201. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLER ONE. Yesterday John Plluarion, a middle-aged man, wearing a large silver medal, was placed at the bar before Messrs. RAWLINSON and SHUTT, charged by Princess Mulea, the wife of the Ambassador from the King of Oude in this country, residing at North Bank, Regent's Park, with stealing the sum of 2/.55., and also a silver table-spoon. The Princess, who was in attendance, attired in the In dian style, her arms adorned with massive gold rings, was accommodated with a seat near the Bench, but did not seem to understand much of the English language. Two young girls, named Luker and Lee, entered the service of the Princess shortly after her arrival in this coun try, and besides themselves, as domestics, were two black women and a black man-cook. About six weeks ago the prisoner came to the house for relief, saying he should wish to see one of the black servants, as he could speak their language ; he was accordingly asked in, and subsequently engaged by the Princess as an interpreter, and had since reAided in the house. On Friday week last the prisoner left, a day or two after which, the Princess gave them to understand that he had kept 2/. ss.'she had given him to pay a bill with, and that a table-spoon was missing, which she bad no doubt he had stolen. That morning the pri soner came to the house, when the Princess gave him into the custody of a policeman. The prisoner left in consequence of the Princess wishing him to procure - five young females for her to take over to the King of Oude. That morning he went to settle his ac count with her, when he was charged with the robbery, which he knew nothing of. The only English gentleman who visited the Prince and Princess, arid who understood their language, was Captain Grindley. Mr. RAWLINSON knew Captain Grindley, and should write to him on the subject ; at present there was no evi dence to detain him (the prisoner), and" he, was therefore discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—An investigation into the fol lowing strange circumstance has been for some time going on at this office. A. gentleman named Baines, living with his family at No. 38, Upper Norton-street, Portland-road, went out on Saturday evening to pay a visit to a relative residing at Earl's-place, Kensington. About eleven o'clock the same night he was brought home in a cab, in an in sensible state, bleeding very much, and the statement of the cabman was, that Mr.. Baines got into his cab in a state of intoxication, and, having attempted to get out again, he had fallen down and injured himself. After the cabman bad gone away, it was discovered that the skull of the unfortunate gentleman was badly fractured, and that a silver watch, gold chain, three gold seals, and a purse supposed to contain two sovereigns, were gone. From the nature of the injuries, coupled with other suspicious circumstances, it was at once conjectured that foul play had been practised, and a search was immediately made after the cabdriver. Early on the following Sunday morn ing a loaded stick, with blood on it, was picked up in a place called Addison's-lane, and at the same spot the track of wheels, just such as would be produced by a cabriolet, was found. On Monday the cabdriver, hearing of the search, came forward and gave himself up to the police. He was brought to the office by policeman Otway, A 42, and when put to the bar gave the name of William Mar shall, driver and part-owner of cabriolet 82. It was found necessary to remand the prisoner, as Mr. Baines was re ported to be in such a dangerous state that he could not come forward and give evidence. When brought up a se cond time for examination, Mr. DYER was informed that Mr. Baines was yet unable to attend, and that another week would be required before the surgeon. would allow him to venture out. Mr. Ward, an elderly gentleman who had been visited by Mr. Baines on Saturday night, said Mr. Baines left his house 6 about nine o'clock to go home. He was the worse for liquor, but quite capable of taking care of himself, and of knowing what he was about. Mr. Baines's maid servant said her master was brought home about a quarter past eleven o'clock on Saturday night in a cab by the prisoner. Her master wus quite in sensible, and appeared very much hurt. The cabman said the gentleman had fallen down as ha was attempting to get out of the cab. When her master left the house to go to Kensington he appeared rather excited, probably from drink. She asked the prisoner for his number, and the prisoner said it vas 72. Witness went out with a candle, and on looking' at the number she found it was 82. The prisoner then said that he meant to have said the number was 82. Mr. Ward said that Mr. Baines had his watch and ap pendages safe when he left his house at Kensington; William Edwards, waterman at a stand in the Portland road, about eleven o'clock on Saturday night heard a heavy fall, and, on looking round, saw a cab about forty yards off standing by the side of the pavement under a gas lamp. He saw a man on the ground as if' he had fallen out of the cab, and went forward to give assistance. When he reached the spot he found the prisoner supporting Mr. Baines, who was quite senseless. Robert Ambrose, ostler at the Star and Garter, Ken sington, produced a " blood-stick," which he said he had bought on Sunday morning for Gd. and some half-and-half. The man from whom he bought it said a boy picked it out of a hedge in Addison-lane, and had given it to him. The end was bloody when found. Addison-lane la e ne sin s g v t a o s n a , b u o le u ie t r a quarter of a mile from the terrace, in Mr. Baines had been taken up by the cabman. A Gentleman said Addison-lane was a lonely road, but it was a direction not unlikely to be taken by a cab-driver. The cab-driver had stated that Mr. Babies got out at some such place. Mr. DYER having heard the above statements decided upon remanding the prisoner until Monday next. TOWN-HALL.

(From the Journal de Frankfort.) A serious difference has just broke out between the Duke of Modena and the English Government. England complains of certain insults directed against her by some journals or periodical writings which are published at Modena, and demands the discontinuance of such attacks in future. The Duke of Modena, it is said, refuses to comply with this demand, and gives as a reason for his refusal, that the English journals permit themselves quite as much licence, when speaking of his person or his government, as the journals of Modena employ with regard to England and her Ministers. To this the English Government has made answer, that the British Constitution does not confine the press within any limits of reserve or moderation in all that concerns any foreign prince or country, but that the jour nals of Modena being, on the contrary, subjected to the most rigorous censorship, cannot publish any article without the sanction, at least tacit, of their Government. In con sequence, if the Cabinet of London does not receive the satisfaction it demands, all diplomatic relations shall cease between the two countries. This discussion raises aquestion of the most serious import. On the one hand, is it conformable to the law of na tions that the Sovereigns of one half of Europe are to be continually loaded with insults, calumnies, and outrage, without having the right to demand and obtain some species of reparation, while the Sovereigns of the other -half of Europe may take to task whoever is found wanting in re spect towards them, in States where the liberty of the Press does not exist ? Can universal justice be satisfied with this position, in which the one must bear all without complain ing, and the other remain inviolable ? On the other hand, doe's any State owe to another a re paration which violates its Constitution ? and are the Kings of France and England obliged to offer to foreign Sove reigns any other reparation than that which the law allows them when they have been outraged in their own persons, that is to say, the faculty of prosecuting the delinquent before the tribunals which are competent to judge him ? The Monarchical Governments say to the Constitutional States, " Our writers do not insult your Princes, because our censorship protects their persons against outrage." The Constitutional States answer, " Having no censorship, we cannot, like you, prevent any insults from being directed against your Sovereigns ; but this insult is punishable by our laws, and our tribunals are open to whoever chooses to have recourse to them." Such is the state of the question laid down with all the impartiality of which we are capable. Conscientiously, then, we must say that the advantages between the Governments are not equal, as they ought to be, according to the rigorous principles of the rights of mankind. And yet in this there is no blame to be at tached to either party, each founding itself 'by right upon a positive system of legislation peculiar to its own country, which system is not usual to change at the bidding of a fo reign poWer. What means are there of putting an end to this position, which is unequal, and, consequently, transitory (an ine quality in the law of nations cannot be a definite state) ? There are two means possible ; the first will be recom mended by fools, and the second by wise men. It is not our fault, but the fault of the age, if we believe that opinions will be equally divided. The one party will say (and they are not the wise)— " You must establish in all absolute monarchies a law per mitting the press to speak freely of the persons of those Sovereigns, in whose States the same freedom already exists. The censorship being suppressed upon this single point, those who are . aggrieved will have the right of opposing le gislation to legislation ; and public outrage, already intro duced into the one-half of Europe, will enter de plein droit into the code of the whole of Europe, and the chances will at least be equalised." The wise would say, " Instead of completing a vicious system of legislature, by extending it from one-half of Eu rope over the whole, would it not be better to suppress the vicious half already in existence ? The liberty of the press, which criticises in France the acts of the Government, does it not still exist, although writers are forbidden to occupy thernselves with the person of the King ? Why should a few lines added to a law upon the press not serve to protect monarchs from insults in foreign States, as well as at home, leaving, however, to the caprices of the press, since it must have its prey to devour; the_free examination of all political systems ?" EuCope can do much in remaining united ; and a Govern ment assured of a majority in the Chambers could, without ceasing to be purely constitutional, give to the cause of order those legitimate guarantees which would not turn to the detriment of its own liberties. This is our hope for the future, when time shall have cooled men's brains. Till then, we - confine ourselves to wishing, not that insult may be permitted where it does not exist, but that it may be suppressed where it does exist ; for in politics insult proves nothing. On the night of Saturday, the 31st ult., a cow, be longing to Mr. Daniel Dew, of Llanvetherine, near Abergavenny, gave birth to three fine calves, two of which died in a short time after ; the third is alive and doing well. THE DUBLIN SOCIETY.--A. meeting has been held, and the subject of Dr.' Murray's rejection discussed. It is beyond all doubt clear that the Charter has been vio lated—that the society in its correspondence with Lord F. L. Egerton, as well as previouSly with Lord Glenelg, has lied—and that by their own showing it has justly for feited its Charter. The Orangemen of the Society are in a state of great anxiety as well as mortification. The first intention of the Duke of Leinster, on reading of the insult of fered to the people of Ireland, in the person of the Venerable Archbishop Murray, was to withd raw hi s name f rom th e Dublin Society, and nothing but a hope to aid in its reform changed his Grace's determination. There is no doubt— not the remotest—that the whole system of this Society will be revised and re-constructed. It is time, indeed, that such of our institutions as the Government can lay their hands on, should be relieved from the controulof the Grand Lodge. Dublin Evening Post. SQU ALLs.—We have had a series of heavy squalls from S. S. E.,—S. to S. W., and W. during the past week. On Sunday, during a severe gale from S. and S.W., a Maltese came running in, with bulwarks gone, and decks completely swept. Tuesday night, it blew very hard in gusts, with heavy thunder and lightning-, indicative of storms. _ On Wednesday, the Tiber, C an dl er , master , f rom London to Alexandria, laden with guns and shot, arrived with bulwarks gone, much strained, and loss of longboat, the sea striking- with such force as to cut it asunder, sweep ing the wreck away, upsetting also and carrying away the cook-house. Many vessels were seen, some in great dis tress. On Thursday, there was a shift of wind to the northward, and the weather became finer, but yesterday the squalls again returned.---Plymouth Chronicle of Saturday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The match for 300 sovs. between Mr. Somers's bay colt Royalty, 4 yrs, and Mr. Mansfield's Dust, 4 yes, which excited so much in terest; came off on Monday, over the Fermoy Course, two mile heats, four four-feet walls, Royalty ridden by Mr. W. M'Donough, and Dust by Mr. Westropp. Royalty having taken all his leaps without a balk, left the former no chance,. and being distanced first heat, Royalty walked over for the second. TUESDAY Five horses started for the Corinthian Stakes of 10 sous. each, half forfeit, with 25 sove. added by the Stewards. Mile and a:hall heats. The following are the horses :—Mr. Mansfield's Dust, Mr. Coghlan's Royalty, Mr. M'Donough's Devil-may-care, Mr. Jaci:"- son's Fracture, and Mr. Hopson's Sir William. - Dust came in first each heat, beating Royalty (his succesful anta gonist yesterday) in good style, although than those between the five horses two better contested heats could not have been witnessed. The walls were apparently the cause of Dust's losing yesterday's race. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. The.

A young Polish officer, of the name of Lubinski, serving in the Belgian cavalry, put an end to his life on Sunday last, at Rennix.

LORD CLONCURRY'S HOAX.—Lord Cloncurry has published a letter, in which he relates the following accidental hoax which he practised some time ago upon the members of the Dublin Society :—HiS Lordship says, I was employed thinning the plantationS at Lyons, and amongst other trees cut a spruce fir, which, being much overlaid by its neighbour, had thrown out horizontal branches of a fanciful and rather uncommon description, broad, and flat like the feathers of a peacock's tail ; my carriage was just starting for Dublin, and to amuse my friend; the late John Burne, of Merrion-square, sent him a bough, labelled " Hyperborean Pine from Captain Parry." Burnt, who, though one of the best men and ablest law yers of his day, was no professed arboriculturist, sent the specimen to the Dublin Society, and I was not a little surprised on the following week to observe in the printed proceedings of the learned body, that what I had not in tended even. for joke, had produced a vote of thanks to the gallant navigator, and special orders for the cultivation of the polar stranger. Ido not know whether its fate was more fortunate than that of the Norfolk Island Pine, which was carefully secured by glass from the summer zephyrs, and left to enjoy in heroic nakedness the frosts of Christmas. -~-,~ WESTEIrN LITERARY AND SCIEN TIFIC INSTITUTION. A General Half-yearly Meeting woe held last night, nt this Institution, No. 47, Leicester-square. HENRY WARBURTON, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. The Report of the state of the finances, and of the pro ceedings of the Society during the last half-year was read by the Secretary. Upon the question that it be received, Mr. RIDGWAY hoped l that us the lease of the present • premises was about to expire, measures would be taken for providing another and more convenient edifice. Mr. II AnrEa suggested that the clasSes for languages should not be defrayed out of the general fund of the Society, as very few of the members of the Institution attended them, or derived benefit from them ; and he con tended that the expense of the professors of languages should be confined to those who attended their lectures. Dr. CARPUE contended that they were maintaining the principles under which the Institution had been established. The Report, after a few words, was received. A resolution was submitted that no one should be en• titled to sit upon the Committee of the Institution who bad not paid his subscription for the year in advance. Mr. RIDGWAY said, several members of the Committee sat upon it who had not paid their subscription, and who were not, in fact, members of the Institution. lie com plained also, that competent persons in point of ability hat not always been elected. Mr. NEVITT defended the present Committee,' who Ead discharged their duties most zealously, and who had. ail paid their subscriptions. The SECRETARY declared that the two or three who had not paid their subscriptions belonged to the former. Coal' mittee,s, and that the members of the present hack all paid theirs in advance. The resolution was ,breed to after a few w or d s . Mr. GODWIN, after the transaction of some further be''' ness of no importance, moved a- vote of thanks to th© Committee of the closing year.—Agmed to. - Mr. HARPER moved a vote of thanks to their 'distill' guished Chairman. Mr. NEVITT seconded the motion, and it was carried amidst loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, returned thanks, and said he had always been friendly to such institutions, and should support the present.—(Cheers.) The meeting then broke up. . LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.

It is unnecessary to remark that it proved 0 . 1 (, 25,0001b5. to 30,0001b5. less in amount than had been antics{ pated—a result extremely desirable to the merchants, val ° l : e late years have frequently suffered severely by estimating t a _i" year's produce much below what it has actually proved to u e : The consequence has been increased confidence in the 011/r o ket generally, and an advance of fully 4s. to 6s. p er e tst. op fine Weald of Kent and Sussex Pockets, and of 2s. to 35., ° : middling samples.

Sussex and tD Weald of Kent, it was known, must be the districts to fur' nish the extreme quantity, which would bring the duty up p e r 250,000/. or 260,0001., if it were to prove so high ; tlt likelihood to do that was always doubted, and, as the rel li has proved, correctly so.
