sPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Municipal Reform, as it is displayed in the results of the Saturday elections, has filled the Tory camps with well-founded alarm and dismay. The recent co elections in Englandthe luck of the Tories in it seats which became vacant happening to be in districts of paramount Conservative " influence" — buoyed them up with ludicrous notions of a " re action" of public 2pinion, and they idly dreamed that • their appeals to religious prejudices, and untiring abuse of O'Connell, would yield their sinking cause a temporary succour. • But the Tories find to their cost that the Reformers " come again," and that when the .united strength and political energies of the people are put forth in a national conflict with Toryism, there is not the slightest chance of their return to power. Vainly they endeavour, by vapouring and lying, to hide from the public the intensity of their present political affliction. We know that some of their metropolitan leaders and active partisans are abso lutely paralyzed with fear. Their " managing men" —their Holmeses and Bonhams—know that 260 Menibers are returned by corporate cities and boroughs ; that the Tory Corporations have alone given them the greater portion of the town representation in. Pa r ; that this great " organic change," this mu nicipal revolution in local government, is death to their party. The Liberals have not spiked the guns of their opponents, but they have captured them, and loaded and turned them against 'the enemy who so long and exclusively occupied the Tory-garrisoned Town-halls. Yesterday we recorded the storming of the close Corporations of Liverpool, Leicester, Cam bridge, Leeds, and Coventry, where, with some few lives saved, the entire Tory cliques were put hors de combat. In Norwich we stated the majority of the Reformers, to which were added similar triumphs in Portsmouth, Bury Et. Edmunds, High Wycombe, and Windsor. This day we add to the number of com plete victories the populous and opulent communities of Bristol—yes, Bristol,—Hull, Plymouth, Bath, Lin coln, Wigan, Boston, Macclesfield, Carmarthen, Sud bury, Maldon, Newport in Monmouthshire, Stock port, Banbury, Colchester, Sandwich, Canterbury, Maidstone, Bridgwater, Gravesend, Faversham, Ips wich, Newark, and we hope Warwick—Rochester being a " tie," and Dover the only known loos. In some of these towns every vestige of a Tory Corporator has been obliterated. Not an old member of the deceased bodies has been re-elected--all have been indignantly rejected. In Liverpocl only two of the old Tory Self-Elect have succeeded in re-entering the Capitol. Hull, it will be seen, has repudiated nearly all the old," public servants," as the late close bodies used farcically to designate their service of " themselves and patrons. Our report of Banbury states, that in this borough not even " the fractional part of a Tory" was allowed to enter the Town Council. Do the Tory Journals seriously mean to gull their deluded readers with the idiotic pretext that this signal demon stration of public opinion does not reflect the sense of the property, intelligence, and intellectual power of the . mass of the_ electors of the respective communities? If the Municipal constituency, recently created in England and Wales, is not the test of public senti ment what is ? The Hereditary Peers, fearing that sentiment, did their best to mutilate the Bill. Although they did not alter the original franchise proposed they did dilute its power, by the .deleterious section in the Act (section 40), which, placing in the hands of Barristers selected by Tory Judges the appoint ment of the Ward Councillors, dizected those Bar risters to " have regard as well to the number of persons rated to the relief of the poor in each Ward as to the an , reeate amount of the sums at which all the said persons shall he so rated" —thus giving a most partial and inequitable preponderance to individual owners of property. And yet, notwith standing the " number of Councillors assigned to each Ward shall be a number divisible by three"—notwith standing the lowering -the standard of Wards, and all the other cunning mutilations of the measure, we find the Conservatives miserably defeated ! The Standard carefully protects the nerves of its readers, by not re porting the elections, unwilling to di'epel their late delusions ; and our Contemporary affects to believe that the ReformerS - have thus acted. from being intoxi cated with their newiy , acquired power, and then ar rives at the consolatory conclusion that the Liberals will sober by the time of the next election. Verily this is most pious resignation, especially when coupled with the facetious expression of the Jour nalist':, opinion, that " the revolting display ylfic tious abuse of power in the Town Council elections must very greatly reinforce the Consetvative inte rest at Parliamentary elections." party jugglery and newspaper imposition can go no further. If our Contemporary is thus persuaded, it is a pity that the Lords brought themselves into such disfavour by opposing a measure which their subservient Corpora tiens might have rendered unnecessary by vacating the Town-halls, and voluntarily surrendering their place to the Reformers. But no ; the Standard in truth well knows the full force of the deadly blow which " Coa servatism" has just received. The action on popular opinion—the influence on the conduct and future com position of the House of Commons—the pozver of-the new Town CoUncils, which we are justified in antici pating, from what has been already seen in the working; of those of Scotland—and the vital strength the Eng lish municipal election gives to the Melbourne Cabinet —all this is fully known to the Tory leaders and their party writers, who are quite aware of the extent of their loss. They may in vain pretend to shut their eyes to the results of these Municipal Elections now pouting in, but they feel and acknowledge among themselves the inevitable political consequences. Already we hear of renewed and open-Mouthed execrations of Sir Robert Peel at the Carlton Club ; that lie finessed too deeply, and calculated falsely. Among, the most amusing expressions of Tory surprise,, is the asser tion that the Reformers did not know their own strength, and are themselves astonished at their triumphs. - The Reformers might, in some cases; under-estimate their own strength ; but certainly the Tory journalists knew not the weakness -of their party, as - the bold and loudly proclaimed anticillation of success in the Tory papers of every corporate town completely demonstrates. The Conservatives raw console themselves -with arraigning the Liberals for their party spirit, in voting exclusively in favour of Reformers. Any foreigner would suppose that the Tories had not so dealt with their party franchise, and that the old Corporations had exercised the power of self-election without regard to political opinion. The Tories are now well repaid for their shameless 6E elusive spirit. They rigidly, where able, kept out every Liberal ; and in vain they denounce the Re formers for paying Toryism in its own coin. To morrow we do not doubt that we shall add to our record of the municipal triumphs of the Reform cause. We may observe, that we have ourselves received no account of the result of the election in Chester, so that se cannot say what foundation there is for the lamentations of the correspondent of the Standard, on account of the success of the Re formers.—Morning Chronicle. It will be seen by accounts from a variety of quar ters, that the municipal registrations in many towns have been carried by the votes of those who assume to themselves the exclusive, but, in that sense, prepos terous name of " Liberals," and that the " Conserva tives" have had the majority against them. There may be something in the explanation that the Conservatives have for the most part not regarded the local contests as of a political character, while their opponents inva riably did so consider them, and acted with as much factious animosity as though the representation of seats in Parliament had hung upon the issue. We believe there is much truth in this exposition of the causes which have led to the local and temporary triumph of the low democracy of a large number of towns, but it is not the whole truth. It was natural that the first flight of newly-fledged power should be in opposition to its more ancient repositories ; it was inevitable that the new-(angled burgess should make manifest his sud den promotion, and threaten and triumph over those with whom he found himself now for the first time on terms of corporate equality. Let us at the same time admit, that in those corporations which had abused their privileges by a corrupt application of their funds,- or by . a tyrannical system of exclusiveness, a strong feeling of indignation among the new electors was not . only natural, but morally justifiable. Still there are T HE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1855, he friends of liberty and order.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a respectably-dressed lad, named Charles Dundas Baguet, was charged with obtaining 20s. from Mr. Roberts, the celebrated scene-painter, under false pretences. The prisoner was the step-son of Mr. Joel Littlewood, the late landlord of the Cart and Horses, in Upper St. Martins'-lane, known as " The Widow's," a house some what celebrated as the occasional resort of artists and lite rary men. Some months ago Mr. Littlewood became em barrassed in circumstances, and retired from the house. On the 14th of November the prisoner called upon Mr. Ro berts, and produced a petition, which purported to come from his father-in-law, setting forth that he had incurred debts, and that he could be relieved from his embarrass ments if a sufficient sum could be raised to pay ss. in the pound, which his creditors had consented to receive. The petition had the signatures of several Gentlemen known to Mr. Roberts, purporting to have subscribed 10s., each, and Mr. Roberts gave the prisoner that sum. On the 19th of December the prisoner called on him again with a letter purporting to be written by his mother, and stating thathe r husband had died suddenly ; that she was anxious to get to her friends at Manchester ; that she had already raised.3l. 10s., and that 10s. more would effect her object. Mr. Roberts gave the required sum, but asked the prisoner some questions, to which he answered that his father in-law had retired to Ealin g for some time, and had been some time subject to fits. In a case of debt, which be thought had been satisfactorily settled, a fresh writ had been issued against him, which so preyed upon his mind that he was seized with apoplexy and died suddenly. Mr. Ro berts a day or two after this met a friend in the street, and said he was sorry to hear of Mr. Littlewood's death. The Gentleman to whom he addressed himself expressed great surprise, and said he had met Mr. Littlewood only the day before " alive and .hearty." This turned out to be the fact, and Mr. Roberts caused the prisoner to be taken into custody. Mr. Littlewood himself came forward to negative the al legations contained in the petition and letter given by the prisoner to Mr. Roberts. The prisoner, who it seems had been much addicted to private theatricals, was sentenced to three months' impri sonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, under the Police Act, for levying contributions by false pretences. James Love, a letter-carrier, was charged with stealing a letter containing a sovereign, in the General Post-Office. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this charge, but ordered to be brought up again in a week, as it was ex pected other charges would be brought against him. two things to be taken into account on the subject : 1 Ist. That we have no evidence whatever of the Radical 1 politics of those who in general have been elected town-councillors on this occasion, many of them be ing apparently persons in respectable stations of life. 2d. That, however disposed they may be, there are not, except in the very largest towns, and in the richest corporations, means at the disposal of the new town-councils for applying the power now vested in them to any purpose bearing on the election of mem bers to the Legislature. -Besides which, the registra tions of householders, we suspect, will 'have told a dfferent tale from that of the miscellaneous burgesses. —Times. _ _ If we are to believe the prognostications of the Whig-Radical Journals, the result of the working of new Corporation Act will be to give a decided prepon derance to the Whig-Radical party, not merely in the local government oeboroughs, but in the return of Members to Parliament at the next general election. If the Ministers are really of that opinion, let them try the effect of an appeal to the country by a dissolu tion of Parliament. It is quite certain that the two great parties in Parliament are too nearly balanced at present to allow the O'Connell-Melbourne Adminis tration to carry its destructive designs into execution without a considerable increase of strength. Now as Whig-Radical Town Councillors cannot take their seats in Parliament, their co-operation cannot strengthen the hands of Ministers in the Great Coun cil of the Nation, except by exercising their official influence to return Whig-Radical Members to Par liament. Let Ministers, then, give them the oppor tunity by a dissolution, and if the result be such as the organs of the Ministry anticipate, then it will be made manifest the Municipal Reform Bill was not intended to secure to boroughs a • better and more honest local Government, but was merely con trived for the purpose of giving to the democra tized Whig party the means of controlling the choice of the Representatives of the people by corporate influence and corporate. corruption. A Ministerial Evening Journal, which is almost more malignantly hostile to our Protestant Institutions than O'Connell and his Irish Priests, had an article last evening anticipating a great extension of the English portion of the "tail" in Parliament with the accomplishment of the O'Con nellite plan of reform, or, in other words, subversion of the Irish Protestant Church, as the fruits of the work ing of the Municipal Reform Bill. It praises the sa gacity of Ministers for devising such a means of keep ing themselves in power. We believe that the preser vation of their own power is the only object that they ever had in view ; and that, as Lord Melbourne and some of his colleagues were opponents of all reform until admitted to seats in Lord Grey's Cabinet, so they only use "reform" at present as the instrument of their selfish ambition, without any regard whatever for the real interests of the country. Whether 'Ministers, in their present crippled and distressed condition, will try a dissolution or not remains to be seen. The results of successive elections from the time of the dismissal of Lord John Russell from South Devon to the de feat of Mr. lianbury in North Northamptonshire, are not in favour of the experiment—still, with a dissolu tion, they can only be beaten, and without a dissolu tion they can hsrdly go on.—Morning Herald. The accounts from various parts of the country of the elections under the Municipal Corporations Bill are pretty nearly such as we expected. The old town councils have very generally been replaced by new men. Our Whig-Radical contemporaries assert that the new men to whom the funds of the corporations and the local interests of the towns of England fire thus entrusted are almost without an exception persons of their party. That there is some exaggeration in this statement we have little doubt, because party statements are generally exaggerated— but we cannot disguise our opinion that it is in the main correct. If we lament the fact, however, it is entirely upon social, and in no degree upon party, grounds that we do so. There needed but this to convince the inhabitants of our corporate towns that their late municipal government was not the worst possible, and to create an early and abun dant supply of evidence that the Corporation Re form of the Whig-Radical Administration was, cal culated to produce anything rather than an im provement of the civic institutions of the country. It was naturally to be expected that the persons to whom the right of voting for town councils was given by the Whig-Radical Bill would signalize the first assump tion of their powers by the election of new depositories of local authority, differing as widely as possible in character, station, politics, everything, from the old. We believe that they will quickly discover that they d•- have not changed for the better ; and that, in propor tion as this discovery advances, the Municipal Reform Bill will work less and less mischievously as the Parliamentary Reform Bill, by means of a similar process of experiment and discovery, is already found to do. Thus, we flatter ourselves, it will at length be demonstrated, by the unerring test of experience, that even a Whig-Radical Government, the most intent upon selfish schemes and the most prone to desperate innovations, may change the re presentative system of the kingdom, and erect new corporations on the ruins of the old, without per manently depriving the nation,of the blessings of good general and good local Government. It is impossible that the intoxication which seems to have prevailed in the election of town councils, on the present occasion should be lasting. It may reasonably be expected that municipal authority in the hands to which, by the new fangled exercise of a strange franchise, it has been rashly entrusted, will not unfrequently be degraded and abused. Aided by such examples, station, property character, and intelligence will rapidly resume their na tural and legitimate dominion. And we cherish, there fore, the confident expectation that the errors of the first election, the result, in most instances,.of inexperience, prejudice, and passion, will be speedily and effectually repaired. The Ministerial journals are in an ecstacy of joy at the result of the municipal elections, or affect to be so, for we can scarcely regard as sincere their pretence that a transaction wholly unconnected with the general politics of the country is any test of the relative popularity of political parties, when the evi- ‘ deuce it affords, if it is to be assumed that it yields any, is diametrically opposed to that of every recent election to a seat in the Legislature. There is some thing inexpressibly absurd in the inference that the Government is popular and strong, whose friends and supporters are invariably rejected with scorn when they aim at a seat in Parliament, from the mere fact that the electors of our Corporations have generally been eager to display their recent power in the appointment of new Corporation officers, and have generally chosen Whigs and Radicals in the absence of any Conserva tive candidates willing to oppose the ancient possessors of local authority.—Morning Post. Now we bid defiance to the Tories I. They vainly hoped, by the employment of the vilest instrumen tality, to oust the Ministry before the Corporation Reform Bill came into operation. Their organs, in exulting anticipation of success, announced the "downfall " of the Melbourne Cabinet as certain be fore the expiration of a few days —nay, such was their confidence, that each individual partisan was speculat ing on what portion of the spoils of office might fall to his share—when, lo ! up starts the enfranched citi zens of England, and universal abhorrence of Tory tyranny supplying the want of a general organization, they drive the traitorous faction from the field, and raise the Reform standard in every borough of England. The municipal elections have been a series of triumphs to the cause of Reform. In addition to the victories re corded yesterday, we have this day the gratification to announce a number of others equally signal and im portant. Everywhere have the Tories been hurled with marked ignominy from the place of trust which they had perverted to the basest purposes of fraud and oppression, and honest Reformers placed in their stead. Leicester has redeemed itself from the disgrace which Tory influence inflicted on if, and left not a single Conservative in its Common Council. Cambridge, Coventry, Bristol—hitherto the hotbeds of the faction —have produced rich fruits of Reform in their several elections. Plymouth, Bury St. Edmund's, MaCcles field, &c. &c.--have all sent in their adhesion to the cause which, in its - consummation, will and must secure cheap 'and good government, and realize that ardent wish of the patriot—to identify the law of ,the laid with the will of the people.

Yesterday, owing to the arrival of some witnesses from the Continent, who could give some important evidence against the persons at present in custody on the charge of being concerned in the Custom-house robbery, T. Sullivan and William Jourdan were again, notwithstanding they had been remanded to Wednesday week, brought before -Messrs. H A RDwicx and WALKER for further examination. On Saturday last M. Dupont, a highly-respectable sil versmith and jeweller, residing at Lille (who bad changed one of the notes for 1001., which had formed a portion of the large sum stolen from the Custom-house had been taken to the New Prison for , the purpose of identifying, if he could, one or both of the prisoners. On arriving there in company with Mr. Hobler, and Lee, the officer, the fog was so intense that M. Dupont would not undertake to point out the prisoners who had been placed with several others in one of the prison yards. In fact, it was so dark at the time and in the place, that it was impossible to discern the features of any person even at one yard's dis tance. It was in consequence arranged that the prisoners should be brought to the Office yesterday, both fOr the pur pose of being seen by M. Dupont and other witnesses, and having the evidence of such of them as could identify them taken- down in writing. Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Thackery (the Assistant-Solicitor to the Customs), and Mr. Hoblor, attended for the prosecu tion ; and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Humphries appeared for the prisoners. It was previously arranged that the prisoners should stand with throe or four other persons when seen by the wit nesses, so as to give them a fair chance ;. and, this being done, M. Dupont, and Mr. Charles 'Thorpe, a person' re siding at Dovvers'i Hotel at Calais, were brought from the Magistrate's room into the office. M. Dupont fixed his eye on the prisoner Jourdan, and observed to Mr. Adol phus, who accompanied him, that he thought he had some knowledge of him, but that he did not like to speak positively as to the identity. The witness Thorpe, however, at once recognised Jourdan, and, being sworn, he said he lived at Dowers's Hotel at Calais, and recol lected the prisoner Jourdan coming there on the Bth of September last, and signing his name in the book kept by order of the police " Mr. W. Herring." The witness here produced the book in question, and Mr. Humphreys, in the absence of Mr. Clarkson, who had not at the time arrived, insisted on his right to see the book with the.en try. This Mr. Adolphus obMad to, inasmuch as the witness had merely referred *te'.the bock and entry, for the purpose of refreshing his memory, and therefore the So licitor for the prisoner had no right to it, particularly as the object was to found a cross-examination of the witness upon it. Mr. HUMPHRIES urged his right to examine the book, and it being objected to by Mr. Hardwick at the present. stage of the proceedings, he desired that a note of the re fusal might appear on the face of the deposition. Mr. Anou.sins could not consent to any.such thing. Mr. IlAunwieK—Did you see the prisoner write his name in the book? Witness—l did, Sir. The witness, in continuation, said that at the request of the prisoner, he got a passport, which he had with him, ex..nnined and signed for Belgium, the prisoner at the same time saying that he was going to Lille, and would be back on the 13th or 14th. Witness ako accompanied .Tourdan to a place where he got into a diligence for Dunkirk, and he saw no more of him until the 13th, when he returned to Mr. Dowers's Hotel, and sailed on the next day for Dover. M. Dupont was next sworn, and, through an interpreter, said he was a jeweller and goldsmith in Lille, and was occa sionally in the habit of changing English notes. Changed the one for 1001. now produced, on the 10th of September last, for a person who had purchased a gold watch and watch key. In change he gave several gold pieces of twenty francs each, and a note of the bank of France for 500 francs. Mr. lIARDWICK—Did the person from whom you took the note write any thing upon it ? M. Dupont—Yes, the name " Mr. W. Herring, Marine-parade, Brighton," and the signature underneath is my own. Mr. HARDWICK—Look at the prisoners at the bar, and say whether or not either of them was the person who had changed the note ? M. Dupont—The face of one (Jour-. dan)has much analogy with the person who changed the note, and his eyebrows, of which I took much notice, are quite like. They were dark and arched, the same as the prisoner's are. His hair appeared black or brownish black, and was turned up and not down, as the prisoner now wears it. The figure was exactly the same as that of the pri soner. He was slender, and not very tall. He was dressed in a black frock coat, grey ribbed pantaloons, and black stock r wore -the wristbands' of his shirt below his coat, and on the whole appeared very neat. The witness also observed that he had with him a leather portfolio or letter case, lined with violet-coloured silk. , Lea, the officer, here produced a frock coat, pantaloons, and stock, which M. Dupont said were the same as those worn by the person changing the note. A gold watch was also produced, and the witness said it resembled exactly one worn by the person to whom he had given change of the note, and who, at the time, drew it out to make a comparison between it and the one he was purchasing. He was enabled to say that it was very like it, from having seen so much of it, while the person was making thd com- parison. James Lea had taken the clothes he produced from a box at the late residence of the prisoner Jourdan, in White Hart-row, Kennington, and the watch from his person at the time of his apprehension. The witness Thorpe was here recalled, and on comparing the name and address of " Mr. W. Herring, Marine-pa rade, Brighton," with the name of " Mr. W. Herring," in the book he produced, he said that, from his knowledge of writing, he was decidedly of opinion that they were written by the same person. Mr. ADOLPHUS then, addressing the Magistrates, said he had, in consequence of the g rea t difficulty w hi c h pre sented itself in the production of the necessary witnesses in the case, and the great distances from which they were obliged to be brought to apply to their Worships for a fur ther extension of time from Wednesday week, on which day they were to have been brought up again, to 'Wednes day fortnight. Mr. CLARKSON replied that, with respect to the prisoner Jourdan, he had no objection to offer, but, with respect to Sullivan, he did not see the necessity of reman ding him to such a lengthened period. Mr. ADOLPHUS rernarkedthat it could not make any risoners, a s th ere was a t present great difference to the p sufficient evidence to send them both for trial. It was already proved, that Sullivan had changed one of the stolen notes at a wine-vault in the Westminster-road ; but independent of this, a warrant was placed'in the hands of the officer for the detention of the pri s oner, to be tried on a bill of indictment found against him for a capital offence at Sheffield, from which place he had made his escape by breaking out of prison. Tne prisoners, during the lengthened examination, con ducted themselves in an impudent manner (particularly Jourdan), and were not only gros s ly o ff ens i ve t o th e Counsel and witnesses against them, but also to the Ma gistrates. Mr. Hobler, owing, no doubt, to the indefati gable zeal which he has manifested in getting up evidence in one of the most difficult cases (rendered so by the ex traordinary ingenuity and skill displayed by the prisoners in disposinc , of the plunder), that has occurred for many years in the metropolis, was made the object of the prison ers' marked vituperation. The prisoners shortly after the examination were con veyed to the' New Prison, strogly ironed and guarded by the police. W ORSHIP- STREET. Yesterday M. H. Phillipps, a master boot and shoe maker, • residing at No. 43, Marshall-street, Westminster, was charged with assaulting his wife. The complainant on the preceding evening was at a church in More-street, Hackney-road, with a friend. On leaving the place of worship after the conclusion of divine service the prisoner met her at the door. She for some time endeavoured to avoid him, when, on the prisoner.find ing that, he laid hold - of her by her shoulder, and in a very violent rage declared he would have a settlement. On a question being put by the Magistrate, it was found that the complain-ant and the prisoner were married at Shoreclitch Church, on the 18th of May last, and that they had not lived together. The certificate of marriage was produced. Mr. BROUGHTON asked the reason of their having lived separate ?—The complainant replied, that after they were married it was agreed that she should remain a month in her situation. But in three weeks after he called upon her, when, from his conversation, she suspected that he was married, and on maling inquiry she ascertained that he had a wife living at Cork. Upon that discovery she would not live with him. Mr. BaouGHToN- 7 --Did her master know about her mar riage ? Prisoner—No. But, Sir, I want to know whether I am to live as a single or a married man ? Mr. BROUGHTON—She says you are already married ? Prisoner—l positively deny it. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the woman) —Why did you not go home with him and live as man and wife when you were married. You certainly have a heart as cold as the wood you stand upon ? Prisoner—Oh, Sir, she has a notion, and is ill-advised by her friends. We have been acquainted some years. Two years ago, after the banns were put up, she walked seven miles to me to tell me she would not be married, and in a few days she altered her mind. Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you mean to live with him ? Complainant—No, Sir, never. Mr. BROUGHTON then discharged the prisoner. After he left the dock a person came forward and stated that be knew the prisoner was previously married, and that his wife lived at Cork. Mr. BROUGHTON said that another inquiry then must take place, if the parties thought proper to come forward. THE UNSTAMPED NEWSPAPERS.—HandIey and Att field, two of the officers of this establishment, who have been appointed by the Commissioners of the Stamp Office to seize unstamped newspapers, found on the persons of those who carry them about, intending them for sale, stated that in the course of their journey on Saturday and Sun -day they took near eighty unstamped papers from five dif ferent persons ; the papers being issued from various offices. Some of the persons had stamped papers about them, which were left. The persons gave their names and addresses, and promised to attend. Mr. BROUGHTON directed the officers to act according to the orders they had received from the Stamp Office. MARYLE6 ON E. UNSTAMPED P UB LICATIONS.—Wm. Dix, a genteelly dressed young man, was charged with exposing for sale unstamped newspapers. Thomas Franklin, an officer of this establishment, said that about ten o'clock the previous morning he was passing through Milton-street, Somers-town, when he met prisoner with a quantity of papers under his arm,• and hallooing out," Weekly Dispatch, Weekl!. Times." Witness bought a Weekly Times of him, for which he paid him twopence, and then took him into custody. In his possession he found nearly ninety publications, consisting of two London Free Presses, fifty Weekly Times, thirty Weekly Dispatches, and three Weekly Police Gazettes. The prisoner, on promising not to offend again, was dis charged, and the papers were ordered to be detained. MARLBORO U Gil- S TREET. Miss Matilda May, a brisk young damsel, with a pair of sparkling eyes, complained to Mr. CHAMARII, that one William Jennings had, with a carpenter's saw, put her in grievous bodily fear. The complainant was just from the country, on a visit to a lodger in defendant's house. On the day of the assault, her friend being from home, the defendant attempted to gain possession of the rooms by nailing up the doors. Her friend shortly afterwards came home, and on finding the situation of matters proceeded to regain possession. The defendant rushed up stairs, brandishing a naked saw, and vowing he would cut them like so many deal boards if they did net go out of the house. A sort of running fight en sued, in the course of which she received a cut on the neck with the saw. The complainant here pulled off her bonnet and dis played a couple of punctures on a very white neck, which she said had been occasioned by the teeth of the saw. In explanation the defendant said he had let his lodgings to a Mrs. Phillips, believing her statement that. she was a respectable married woman ; but having found out that so many Mr. Phillipses came to pay her a visit he became alarmed for the reputation of his house, and accordingly gave her warning. The complainant, who described herself as a relative from Ipswich, came to visit Mrs. Phillips ; but she, too, being equally for tunate in finding a great many male London ac quaintances, he had a violent suspicion that some thing was wrong, and at the expiration of the notice he took summary steps to ensure the ejectment of his lodgers. Hearing his wife scream murder while he was at work with his saw, he ran up stairs to see what was the matter. He found the defendant and two other females very nearly qualified to personate the " three graces ;" but Spying him, they assumed a totally different character, and rushed towards him more like the " three furies," severally armed with tongs, poker, and fire-shovel. Saw in hand, according to the defendant's assertion, he stood for upwards of an hour parrying carte and tierce thrusts from the par ties, and cutting right and left at the tongs and utensil brandishers. Victory was doubtful for some time ; but just vs his poker assailant was pressing him, en flow, with re doubled vigour, he had the luck to put the amazon hors de combat with a slap of his saw, upon which he was allowed to remain master of the field. A good deal of evidence was heard ; but, as the facts appeared to be substantially as stated, the warrant was ordered to stand over on condition that the lodgings were vacated. NAVAL ANECDOTE.—When the author (Captain Glasscock) served with the late Lord Collingwood, a Lieu tenant onis Majesty's ship C-- had the presumption, in the presence of the Admiral, to apply the phrase " You, Sir 1" to one of the after-guard on the quarter-deck. The Admiral reiterated the offensive appellation, " You, Sir You, Sir 1" The Lieutenant, at a loss for the Admiral's meaning, approached his superior hat in hand. " You, Sir 1" continued the Admiral, etiphatically repeating the -ob noxious phrase as he stared the Lieutenant full in the face —" How do,you, Sir, like to be you sir'd ?

It was observed that she had mistaken the harbour channel, and as she was going rapidly through the water, soon struck on the spit of sand which forms the channel, and immediately broached to and rolled over ; as , the surf was running very high, no persons could go to their assist ance, and all were drowned. The preventive boat pulled out, and in ten minutes picked up the body of a woman perfectly lifeless ; and though four other persons had been seen, yet none could be found, and it was not till the fol lowing morning that two other bodies were picked up nearly a mile distant. The boat belonged to Gosport, and was conveying Mrs. Ann Matthews, of the Shipwrights' Arms publicfhouse, Queen-street, Portsea, her nephew, Mr. H. Derrick, of Gosport, aged 25; a young man of the name of Devonshire, aged 19, belonging to the dock-yard, and two Gosport wherrymen, of the names of W. Deafly ; and W. Perryman, to Bembridge ; the bodies of Derrick and Perryman have been found, and an inquest was held on Monday, at the Hotel, Bembridge, before Mr. W. Hearn, coroner for the island, on their bodies, when a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.—Hanzpshire Telegraph. COLBURN'S NOVELISTS.—The next of the perio dical volumes (the llth) of this interesting series of the best modern fictions is announced, we observe, for the 30th instant, and is to comprise Mr. Lister's celebrated novel of . " Granby," the three volumes c i kmplete in one, for 65., bound, with an admirable likeness ofwthe author, and a vignette. It is justly remarked by the Edinburgh Review that the great success of this novel is owing chiefly to its " very easy and natural picture of manners, as they really exist among the upper classes ; to the description of new characters, ju diciously drawn and faithfully preserVed ; and to the intro duction of many striking and well managed incidents. No thing is in excess ; there is a good deal of fancy, and a great deal of spirit at work. BRIBERY.—The most remarkable and glaring case yet exhibited against the Tories was disclosed at the Elec tion Commission (Ireland) last week. • LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.

If a ship went to the Indies, a Priest had a box in her under the protection of some Saint, and for masses (as their cant was) to be said by that Saint, &c., the poor people must put some money into the Priest's box, which was not opened till the' ship's return. The mass at that time was called Christ's-mass, and the box called Christ's-mass-box, or money gathered against that time, that masses might be said by the Priests to the Saints to forgive the people their sins of that time ; and from this servants had liberty to get box . money, that they might be enabled to pay the Priestfa his masses, well knowing the truth of the adage, " No money no Pater noster."

AN AWKWARD COMPLIMENT.—GencraI an American officer, who is an active friend and supporter of negro emancipation in the 'United States, - upon a recent occasion made a very animated address in behalf of the co loured population. A dinner was subsequently given to the General, when one of the sable assemblage was called upon for a toast, and being desirous of conveying the idea by the sentiment he should give, that the General, though he was a white man, was nevertheless full of sympathy for the ne groes, be rose and gave the &lowing :—" Massa General F—, though he had a white skin, he got a black heart!". On the night of Christmas-day, as the London and Exeter mail was proceeding towards Andover, on its route towards Exeter, it ran against a bank during a dense fog, and instantly -fell over with a heavy crash, throwing the guard and coachman some distance across the road, the lat ter of whom pitched on his head, and was killed on the spot. The guard escaped with some slight contusions. Luckily there were no outside passengers, and those who were on the inside escaped unhurt. The horses were stop ped without injury, but the mail-coach was considerably da maged. The mail was delayed about three hours in conse quence at Andover.
