SPIRIT O? TIDE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times is graciously pleased to promise praise to Lord Melbourne and his colleagues when it shall be proved that they really desire a re-union with Lord Stanley and the Duke of Richmond, on the terms of a total, peremptory, and final breach with O'Connell, and a frank and absolute surrender of the appropria tion clause in the Irish Tithe Bill. This is, in other words saying, that whenever Ministers abjure a prin ciple to which they are solemnly pledged, and conse quently infamise them Selves, they shall have the praise of the Times. For such a reward men will,hardly be tempted to " welcome lasting shame." It is.extremely characteristic of the Tory party that all their hopes are built upon some hypothesis of folly or baseness on the part of their opponents. Sir R. Peel's expectation was that the Reformers would quarrel among them selves, and enable him to govern through their divi sions ; the disappointment of this hope has been fiercely resented. And here we may remark that the ex pectation of Sir Robert was that O'Connell would be at feud with the Whigs, but as that did not happen, the most violent indignation has been expressed by the enemy, because the Whigs did not wage war with O'Connell. Sir Robert thought that O'Connell would be dissatisfied with the Whig policy ; but in his visions of office so extravagant an idea as a Whig quarrel with O'Connell for approving and supporting the Whig po licy, never entered the ex-Premier's head. Peel reckoned on Radical impatience of Whig moderation— not upon Whig impatience of Radical acquiescence in Whig moderation. Indeed, Sir Robert Peel would, ere this, have been locked up aalunatic, if he had declared, in his Tamworth speech, that when he undertook the Government he expected the Whigs to face about and fight the Radicals, if they should consent to travel the same road. Such an,expectation, in the case of the Liberals in power, is just as insane as it would have been in the case of the Liberals in opposition. A hope of another kind, about as reasonable, has now occurred to the Times, that Ministers may apostatise, in whiCh event it offers them the hand of brotherhood. Show, says (in substance) this new organ of the Tories, that you are false and treacherous—that you are deserters and renegades, and we will embrace you, and esteem you worthy of government. What a characteristic of the party is this promised affinity with any unworthi ness I Only a few days ago, every Tory journal was subscribing to the saying of some Tory orator, that the Whigs in office had• " the violence of the Radi cals, without the honesty ;" and now the cry is, quarrel with the Radicals, par fas aut nefizs, and the Tories are your friends. And, no doubt, mightily pleased would the Tories be with, the Whigs, if they would contrive a quarrel, by which the way would be cleared for Sir Robert Peel's hitherto balked Administration. —Morning Chronicle. If there is one subject more than another upon which our representatives in Parliament ought to have sound practical information, it is upon the true princi ples of taxation. When it is considered that nature has most bountifully supplied this country with almost everything which can tend to promote its welfare, that the climate is peculiarly suited to call forth the energies of its. population, how imperative is the duty of those in whose hands is vested the power of controuling and directing the resources-of this great empire, to. be well informed as to the effects likely to result from the ap plication of theories to so vast a machine as that of a great nation. We are, however, sorry to say that whilst a certain portion of the - House of commons is • rather inclined to laugh at the application of • sound principles to taxation, and another portion or section is opt to legislate exclusively to promote particular views, many very useful alterations in our fiscal laws are over looked. Taxation is a necessary evil—to a certain ex tent it must be borne by every country ; and in Eng land, where more than half the annual income is applied to the payment of the interest of its debt, its pressure must be severely felt—in proportion, however, to the severity of the burden, is care required in its applica tion. During the war, so great was the difficulty of raising a revenue equal to the expenditure, that the Ministers of the day, totally disregarding all princi plea, placed duties or taxes upon every commodity of universal consumption—their only consideration -was how to raise money. Thus nearly all Excise duties were dOubled and trebled, Ivithout reference to the probahle increase of frauds, or the injury to which trade would be exposed, by the multifarious restric tions imposed under the plea of protecting- the re venue. Many of these war taxes have been repealed in the course of the last few years, and it is our ob ject to call public attcntiou to the facility 'of repealing others„ hr the careful and judicious application of du ties to the productions of foreig,n countries, in lieu of that most arbitrary system of Excise, Which is revolt ing to the feelings of every one who has a just sense of liberty. The principles of political economy may be opposed to taxing raw material, but they are more opposed to the existence of Excise • laws, and no thing but necessity can justify the continuance of either one or the other ; but - under the existing circumstances of this country, we have -in every instance to consider, not so much' the abstract principles opposed to a particular measure, as its policy with reference to existing laws. _, For this reason it may in some cases be justifiable, and even advantageous to the country, to tax raw materials by . a Customs duty in preference to the manufactured article by the Excise. This was _especially the case with raw cotton. A tax was imposed upon it, and the Excise removed from printed calicoes. It was proved that improvements were checked—that_ frauds could not be prevented, and that an establishment was maintained to collect a duty a large proportion of which was returned in the shape of 'drawback on exportation, and to do which another establishment of officers was required. The same arguments may be strikingly used with regard to the duty on foreign tallow, which we noticed yesterday. At present there is a small Customs duty on tallow, and a heavy Excise duty on soap. One-fourth of the duty collected is returned to the manufacturers by drawbacks, &c. It is proposed, - and we think the adoption of' the propo sition would be of the greatest service, to remove the latter and increase the former, so as to raise from the raw material half as much as is now collected upon soap. In this case we have before us a choice of evils—the positive evils of Excise laws, the fraud and crime they encourage, the injustice to which every honest manufacturer is subjected by every in fraction of the Revenue laws ; and, on the other hand, the deviation from a generally-received principle, that a raw material should not be taxed. It is important to the proper consideration of this question to know, that it is impossible to smuggle talloW ; that great advantage would be derived to the country by increas ing the duty, which is now exceedingly low ; and that, if we are correctly informed, the manufacturers and the agriculturists are both anxious for the change. The question, then, is, are two important interests to be in jured simply to support a theory ? Are we to offer a bonus to a foreign country by admitting the produce of her land at a slight duty, to the injury of our farmers, and to the injury of the manufacturers who consume it ? There is little reciprocity in such an arrangement, particularly when it is recollected that Russia taxes very heavily our manufactures ; and we believe, that when this subject is fairly considered, every one will arrive at the same conclusion as ourselves,—viz., that of two evils, a tax on a raw material, the produce of Russia, is infinitely less injurious to English interests than the existence of an Excise on a staple manufac ture.—Morning Advertiser. We return, as we promised, to the consideration of the leading paper in the Polonais, on the means of counteracting the designs of Russia without the necess sity of war. In drawing our inference from the text of the Writer in question, the tenor of our yesterday's ar gument was, ;that Russia, with all her boasts, is afraid of war with England. She is afraid of it, because she haS calculated with the logical tact and with the address which characterises the whole of her diplomacy, that if such a war once commenced, it would terminate in kwar of opinion. For the risks connected with a material struggle, she is, we believe, fully prepared by an accumulation of means, and by a centralization of power never, perhaps, united before in any nation. It is always best to look at danger in the face. The means of Russia of bringing warlike masses into the field for the purpose of conquest, we believe by no means exagge rated. The exaggeration has always been the other way. It has consisted in depreciating her military power and THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMIIER 24, 1835, reconcile the idea of integrity of purpose with the oscil lation of an individual statesman from one side to the other of a vital national question twice within two years. The charity would be miraculous that could ac complish this reconciliation in the case of such rc peated changes of side-occurring simultaneously to a party of statesmen. But in the supposed case of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues the difficulty - would be incalculably increased, for here charity must take into its view in each of these repeated changes of opinion occurring simultaneously to a considerable number of individuals the melancholy fact that the supposed in terest of each and of all coincided very exactly with-the revolution of his mind. We have no apprehension that either Lord Stanley or the Duke of Richmond, after . having to his own immortal honour, and to the great advantage of the country, joined the ranks of those who are struggling for the maintenance of the Constitution, and the preservation of the Church, can be tempted to desert the cause in which he has _conscientiously embarked, by any concessions that can be offered on the part of politicians so prone, as the present Ministers have shown themselves, to do - from day to day whatever may appear each day to be most conducive to the objects of their personal ambition. And we think we say quite enough to re lieve from this apprehension any individual Conserva tive who may have yielded to it for a moment, when we remind him that the Lord Stanley and the Duke of Richmond are upright, high-spirited, and intelligent men. . That Ministers are quarrelling desperately is, however,- plain enough. The ground of disagreement ' is not the danger to the country or the disgrace to themselves which have arisen from their alliance with Mr. O'Connell and the Papist faction, and which must continually go on increasing so long as that alliance subsiSts—for these considerations they must fully and unanimously have made up their minds to disregard when they resolved to fight their way into office under Hr. O'Connell's banner ; the matter in dispute is simply whether, now that the man who helped them - into office, and who has thus far kept them .there, has become an. en cumbrance rather than a protection, they shall keep upon decent terms with -him any longer, or shall at once, without scruple or delay, throw him, his doc trines, and projects overboard. The quarrel is one which is no further interesting - than as it may affect the character of either of the parties, a - subject which we imagine the country will scarcely think worthy of much care. Wc incline upon the whole, considering all that is past, to the opinion that the division of the, Melbourne Cabinet who have resolved to sink or swim with the pilot who has hitherto governed its entire course are wiser than these who are anxious to get rid of him. Together or separate they must of neces sity sink before the storm of public indignation which the conduct and projects of the confederacy have ex cited. But those who now -detach themselves from their great patron and leader will go_ down with the separate reproach of ingratitude added to their share in the vast catalogue of conjoint offences. In the fol lowing passages from the Morning Chronicle of yes terday we present, for the amusement and gratification of our readers, specimens of the manner in which at the present moment one part of the Melbourne-O'Con nell .Cabinet speak of and to the other . " We have recently seen with great and increasing dis gust a weak and reprehensible giving in on the part of cer tain would-be liberal perSonages to the vulgar Tory preju dices attempted to be excited .in this country against Mr. O'Connell. We. are no partisans of that gentleman, nor of any particular individual, or set of men ; and if we saw O'Connell using his acknowledged influence over his coun trymen for mere personal and selfish objects—if we saw him deserting the common cause of Reform to enhance his own importance, or intriguing with the enemies of Re form, or • engaging in a senseless endeavour to mar and thwart the policy of a liberal Government—we should be among the first to visit such conduct with the stigma which it would deserve ; but we are at a loss to know the reason why certain professed • allies and followers of the-' soi-disant Liberal party are at such 'pains to announce their differences with O'Connell's political sentiments at this time ; and why at thiS particular period they must, in different parts and quarters of this realm, be engaged in the apparent effort to detach that Gentleman and his friends, by their abusive taunts, from the great Reform party, of which the Irish iembers form so important a section. * * It is evidently no sufficient reason for repudiating the assistance of O'Con nell to' say that 'his political • opinions 'are of an extreme description. They are not more so now than when, by that assistance, the friends of oar present mawkish poli ticians were lifted into power and place. * * At all events- there - is no ground i of complaint against O'Con nell which is not included 'n the' Simple• and long-known fact, that his politics are decidedly Radical—not more so, however, than they were When certain squeamish Gentlemen were glad to have his support without ob servation or comment. " We trust, therefore, that the hangers-on of the Go vernment will be duly warned that, by the conduct they are pursuing, they are only damaging their masters' characters for open and fair dealing, and injuring the cause of Reform, which they would be thought desirous to serve." This, it is quite plain, cannot last.—Morning Post. POOR LAWS RIOT. During the past week Horsham has been the scene of some partial disturbance, occasioned by the misunderstanding of the operation of the new Poor Laws. A meeting of the Board of Guardians was held on Wednesday, last, when a large body of labour ing men and some women from different parts of the Union assembled at the poorhouse. The principal causes of com plaint amongst them appeared to IP two—lst., that the able-bodied labourers were not allowed to earn such large wages at parish-work as they had been in the habit of re ceiving ; and, end, the classification of the inmates in the different workhouses. No other serious disturbance oc curred than that upon the breaking-up of the meeting of the Board, several of the Guardians were followed through tile town by a large body of the paupers, and assailed with stones and dirt. Sir Charles Burrell had the windows of his carriage broken, and Mr. Tredcroft was much beset ; but they both exhibited the greatest firmness, and the mob consequently dispersed. This gave rise to a precept being issued for the swearing-in. of special constables ; and on Saturday, at the Bench, 66 tradesmen out of 70 who had been summoned for that purpose attended and took the oath of office. The Lord Lieutenant of the county, the Duke of Richmond, was present at the Bench on Sa turday.—Brighten Guardian.. A Greek is now hanging up in Constantinople at the door of a Turkish lady, and he came there in the fol lowing manner :—He was by trade a tailor, and used to sit industriously at his little open shop nearly opposite the house of the lady in question, who for hours together was wont to feast her eyes on the handsome young giaour, as she peeped through her small cagework jalousie. Her breast was inflamed with love ; and they soon came to a good un derstanding. Their meetings at first were well arranged, and there was little danger of a discovery, and thus nearly two years ran on smoothly. Constant success led, as usual, to carelessness, and finally the tailor was caught in the arms .of his mistress. He was soon dragged before the Seraskier, and the evidence being conclusive, he was condemned to the penalty he could not but be aware would follow dis covery. The law of the land condemns to death such in tercourse between a Turkish woman and an infidel man. The lady, however, has been allowed to live for the present, as she is in the way that " women wish to be who love thee—tailors ! It is very possible she may escape, though now confined, until she shall be " confined," in order that afterwards she may make the acquaintance of the Bos phorus sewed up in a bag. Many will cry out at the bar barous proceedings of the Turkish Government, and truly it seems to us shocking that a crime which can be attacked civilly only by us, should be here punished with death ; but in England there are very numerous crimes visited by con dign punishment which here are little noticed, and the Turks might as fairly accuse us of barbarity as we them. The hanging of the Greek has created a great sensation here, as such severity is extremely rare in the present day. For one life now sacrificed to maintain the law in this country, I should say twenty at least are sacrificed in England. A few days ago a notorious old Irish beggar-woman, named Hollis, was placed at the bar, under a charge of having practised the avocation of street-begging. The prisoner had in her arms a fine infant, and she excited the compassion of the spectators in the Court by the affectionate manner in which she hugged it to her breast. The charge having been proved, she was committed to the House of Correction, and Mr. Forwood undertook to see the infant well provided for in the workhouse. On Saturday a female, an English woman, presented herielf before the magistrate, and, with tears in her eyes, implored that he would order the child to be delivered up to her. She informed the magistrate that the child was hers, and she seemed to be i❑ a complete agony of distress at her bereavement. It appears, that notwithstanding this display of maternal soli citude, the applicant has been in the habit of lending her infant to the beggar-woman, Hollis, for the purpose of enabling her to excite compassion.—Liverpool Albion. CE-CHANCERY.-WED)TES D AY. CROWE V. WARREN. Mr. KNIGHT said his Honour would remember that in this case he had made an order on a lady to produce an in fant.—(A. laugh.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Are you sure, Mr. Knight, that _the Court has the power to do so ?—(A laugh.) Mr. KNlGHT—However that may be, he had,- as the lady, who lives in-the West . orEngland, had not obeyed the order of the Court, to ask that an attachment might issue against her ; perhaps that would have the proper effect.-- (A laugh.) The COURT granted the attachment accordingly. WARDLE V. CARTER. This cause was heard several months ago. The plaintiff is the eldest son of the late well-known Colonel 'Wardle, and the defendant is a conveyancer in Lincoln's Inn, to whom the plaintiff alleged he had been induced to sell a reversionary interest, under circumstances of fraud and undervalue, in consequence of which this bill prayed relief against the sale. His HONOUR said this bill sought to impeach an agree ment entered into by the plaintiff with the defendant in April 1827, and certain conveyances in pursuance of the agreement, which bore date in 1828, but which were not in fact executed till 1889. After going at length into the. - facts of the case, his HoNoun, said these were all the mat ters which regarded the progress of the transaction, and it. abundantly appeared from them Wardle had had legal ad vice of all sorts, and might have had as much more as he desired, and afterwards, in the exercise of his own judgment when he was a free man, he did not think proper to adopt the advice he received, but executed the deeds, and never quarrelled with them till this bill was filed. There was then a complaint of want of value. On the part of the plaintiff two gentlemen were called who singularly enough concurred in representing the value (it might be from the tables) at 12,500/. On the other hand, the defendant called three vvitne4es One stated the market value at 9,0001., another at 8,5001., and another, with minute precision, at 8,1111. It is observable the price given was 8,6501., which, for some reason, was 1501. more than the price originally proposed. Now, this price was more than the average market price fixed by three witnesses, and more than two-thirds of the general value assigned by the plaintiff's witnesses. It was plain from the evidence, as a thing could be, that there was no fraud in respect of deficiency of value. It appeared the plaintiff filed his bill in his father's lifetime, when he had an interest in reversion ; but, considering his position, the ! transaction had no taint of this nature. A more improper bill had never been filed ; and his HONOUR would have at once decided the cause at the hearing, but, seeing the way in which the character of the defendant was attacked, his HONOUR thought it but common justice. to that respectable 'gentleman to examine the evidence minutely, and the result was, to satisfy him that this attempt to throw a slur upon :the character and conduct of a respectable practitioner was most unfounded. The bill must be dismissed with costs. capabilities, in order to lay the " flattering unction" to the soul of those who dread their application. But no fault of this kind deteriorates the merit of Russian 3tatesmanship or diplomacy. All the state papers of Russia which have been lately published, whether of a public or secret character, show she is aware of the true wisdom of looking at the dark and bright side of every subject. In the conflicts in which she prepares to engage, it has been seen that she foresees and openly states what she considers advantageous—what disad vantageous to her . own cause. , This line of conduct, if that cause were good, would be true wisdom. Nor . is it less wisdom on our part to admit that her diplo macy is conducted with an energy, a tact, and an in telligence which, while it embraces vast fields of action, and an equally wide scope of calculation, distances and baffles the minute and formal diplomacy of more ci vilised Europe. It has been the chief implement of. her acquisitions, and, to understand it, is to understand how to counteract her ambitious projects without o.oino . s , to war. By so doing we shall solve the problem mooted by the writer in the Polonais. One proof of Russia's adroitness consists in her skill of concealing her-real fear of war. Though fearing it with the finesse of a practised gamester, a threat of war has always been one of her great cards for clearing the table, and carrying off the stakes. Is her advance upon Constantinople arraigned ? Dare not to interfere with my victim, is her reply ; or war. Is her transmission of an auxiliary force to the Sultan deprecated ? She has the same ready alternative— war. A protest against her treacherous acquisitions on the east of the Caspian is answered and silenced in the same way. Poland is crushed, and the treaty of Vienna is pleaded, and she answers the pleaders with contemptuous frankness :—" It is my will, be silent, or war." Thus has she extorted from her deluded and browbeaten adversaries a silent acquiescenee with each astounding accumulation of her pacific aggrandize milts. Meanwhile, as we have said, she would tremble as much as the powers she threatens, in engaging in that war, with the name of which she has cunningly found that she can palsy their sympathies and their exertions. Like Shakspeare's Ancient Pistol, she has always fury on her lips, and a rapier in her hand ; though she would yield to being kicked down stairs at the sound of a threatening tongue, or the sight of an opponent sword. But the game, when detected, will not last. It is on record that she con fesses it to be an imposture. She has confessed that she trembles at a war with England, on account of the War of opinion which it would involve. We know her weak place, and our statesmanship ought to avail itself of that knowledge in counteracting the treacherous warfare which she carries on under the mask of peace, by means of an equally well-organized and ramified diplomacy. Mr. Canning showed that he knew the sore point when, in 'lB23—(while Russia was stimu lating the restored Ferdinand to demand, and the re stored Bourbons to grant military aid to absolutism) — he made an announcement which was felt through each susceptible fibre of her diplomatic web from circumfer ence to centre. He told Russia what she knew and trembled to know, that England—as YEolus had power to confine or loose the winds—had power to confine or loose the free opinions and popular principles of the world ; and to set them in fatal conflict with the un tenable principles of divine right and irresponsible power. Such a conflict, it is quite evident, would not terminate without sweeping every vestige of the thrones of the absolute powers from the surface of the earth. — Morning Advertiser. It is with the. greatest satisfaction we observe our well-meant observations have produced an effect in the proper quarter ;—the Board of Admiralty has taken up two ships, the Elphinston and Strathfieldsaye, in every respect unexceptionable, for the conveyance of convicts to our penal settlements.- These two vessels stand A 1 in Lloyd's Register, and, being of great height in the 'tween decks, will afford proper accom modation for the unhappy outcasts who are to be con • veyed to the other hemisphere. Contrasted with the ships which have been chartered by the Homc Office, what a sad reflection do they cast on those whose duty it has been to take up vessels for that employment. We have complained of the ships that have been taken up in a spirit of sorrow and grief for the loss of so many lives—lives which have been spent in the paths of wickedness, and : plunged into eternity, before sincere repentrmee had obtained an influence. We have done our duty in pointing out the errors that have existed in the system of chartering these ships, and we hope the Board of Admiralty, to whom the business has been transferred, will conduct their labours in a ,satis factory manner. We shall ever be on the watch, and should a ship of an inferior description be taken up we shall not hesitate to censure 'as we have censured. Even nor:, we hope orders will be, or have been, given to detain the " Surrey." The very thought of send ing poor creatures the distance of 14,000 miles, in a vessel twenty-four years old, and sending them in a ship, which cannot, from its capacity, carry boats to hold the . whole. number, in case of an accident occur ring, makes the blood run cold. If, after the warning we have given, anything happens to this ship, we shall not envy Lord John Russell his feelings. We have received many letters upon the subject, some of them reproving, others approving. Our course has been direct. We have condemned the parties we thought negligent in the public offices, and not the ship.; owners, who naturally wish their ships, whether new or old, to be taken up for the public.service.—Morn ing Herald. Rumours have been afloat for the last day or two that an attempt had been made by a section of the Ministry, including the Premier, and led by him, to effect a political junction with those members of Lord Grey's Cabinet who are most inimical to the O'Con nell dominion, and whose recent conduct has entitled them to be considered as the leaders of a very impor tant body of auxiliaries to the Conservative cause. We know of no other foundation for those rumonrs than certain visits which we announced in the regular course in the part of our paper appropriated to such intelli gence, and which, for any thing that has yet appeared, may have been paid in the ordinary interchange of so cial courtesy. It is remarkable, indeed, that so much attention should have been attracted by circum stances apparently of so trivial a nature, and that in ferences so important should have been deduced from them. To account for this, it is however only neces sary to refer to the situation of the Administration, which everybody perceives to be desperate, and to its character, which leaves no room to doubt that it would be just as ready to abandon its Popish allies and to renounce their schemes for the robbery and destruction of the Church, as it was to embrace the former and to adopt the latter, the prevailing motive now, as before, being exclusively the meritorious and honourable de sire to get good places and to keep them. Nobody. believes that any Member of the present Government would think of making an overture either to Lord Stanley or the Duke of Richmond, which did not include the specific condition that the Chinch spoliation pro ject of the Melbourne-O'Connell confederacy should be absolutely and finally given up. And let us stop for one moment to ask in what estimation the people of this country must hold the present Ministers of the Crown, when they have very generally given credit to rumours which imply the utmost alacrity on the part of those Ministers to abandon, for the sake of retaining office, the measure and the principle by means of which they forced themselves into office a few short months ago ? Are Statesmen of whom it can so easily be believed that they are ready to embrace and to repudiate for their own purposes, and in alter nation as frequent and rapid as those purposes may require, a question so deeply affecting the peace, welfare, and security of the State as that which formed the groundwork of their disgraceful compact with Mr. O'Connell—are the statesmen, we ask, whose characters are not such as at once to put down and utterly discredit so odious an imputation—fit men to govern the British nation, or any other civilized or intelligent commu nity ? We are no advocates for obstinacy in error, or what is sincerely believed to be such, by the party re nouncing it. The most conscienticus statesman may sometimes, no doubt, see good reason to modify or even to reverse his former opinions. But the flexibility which the common rumour of the moment imputes to Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, without a single man being heard to say that it is improbable in them, is of a kind which the utmost latitude that can be claimed or imagined for conscientious conviction will scarcely comprehend. It would - require extraordinary charity to I MARLBORO UGH-STREET. ' ASSAULT EXTRAORDINARY.—MiSS Catherine Carey, alias the Countess of Cork, - alias the Lady St. john, an im portation from " the first flower of the ocean," was yester day put to the bar before Messrs. DYER, CONANT, and CHAMBERS, charged with having converted her parasol, the fragments of which she held in her hand, into a shil lelah, and having exercised it, with all,the vigour of a Don nybrook professor, over the heads of Mrs. Horne, and her husband's apprentice. Mrs. Horne told the Bench the defendant came to her . house, No. 17, Old Burlington-street, about the latter end of November, and offered to take her apartments, repro senting herself to be " Lady St. John " and a near relative at least, if not altogether, to the Countess of Cork herself. The dress and appearance of her " Ladyship" being of the order. " tatterdemalion," the complainant hinted- her suspi cions, and asked for some reference. Her " Ladyship" told her that her particular friend, Mr. Lushington, the East India Director, would readily satisfy her ; and, alluding to her dress, remarked that people of title, owing to antici pated Peerage Reform,_ were obliged to study economy ; nevertheless she . would feel greatly obliged if Mrs. Horne would accommodate her with a " turn out" more suitable to a person of her rank. Mrs. Horne allowed her to occupy the apartments, and equipped her in one of her own gowns : but, owing to pressure of business, Mr. Horne was unable for a few days to go after the reference. When he did see Mr. Lushington that Gentleman told him he knew, nothing whatever of her " Ladyship," further than she gave a great deal of trouble at the East India House in the practice of her impositions. Mr. Lushington added that he had no doubt the defendant would be gone by the time Mr. Horne reached home. This turned out exactly as had been anti cipated, and nothing was heard of her Ladyship until Tuesday last, when, having been accidentally met and stopped by Mr. Horne's apprentice, he caused her to go with him to Old Burlington-street. • The apprentice stopped the defendant because he saw she had on his mistress's gown. The defendant when ac costed by him begged he would show her the way to her Noble Friend Lord Braybrook's residence, as she was about to pay the family her usual Christmas visit. The appren tice walked a short distance with her, when, finding she could not get rid of him by fair means, she began belabour ing him with her parasol. This proceeding caused a crowd to assemble, and ultimately she was compelled to accompany the boy to her former lodgings. Mrs. Horne said the defendant came to her house, • fol lowed by a large crowd, on Tuesday last, and, after abusing her, struck her several times with the parasol. . Mr. DYER—WeII, what have you to say to all this ? Defendant—l say that what has been stated is false. The fact is, I found out that Mr. Horne was my friend Don Macbrouse's tailor, and as my guardian, Lady Elizabeth Monk—. Mr. DYER—Stop. I will not have the names of any parties mentioned. I will lock you.up if you persist in so doing. Defendant—l am what I represented • myself to be. I am Lady St. John ; but as for being the Countess of Cork it is the first time I ever heard myself called by that title. When I took the apartments I told Mrs. Horne if she wanted a reference she might inquire of Mr. Lush ington ; but I said for private reasons I should much rather she would do without a reference. When I found I was to be affronted by inquiries, I went out of the house immediately, and when the boy met me I was just going to call on Lord Anglesey, but as the lad would not let me, I was obliged to use my parasol. I did not strike Mrs.: Horne with it, but after she called me a swindler, she stooped down to hoist up my gown, and the parasol came against her face.

On Monday night, at eight o'clock, a meeting of the Committee of the Commissioners of the Westminster Courts of Request was held at the Red Lion, York -street, St. James's-square ; Mr. EWEN in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said they were met for the purpose of receiving the report of the interview of the deputation with Lord John Russell, and to lay before them the draft of a Bill for the reconstruction of the Westminster Courts of Request, by giving them power to adjudicate on debts not exceeding 101., and of adding to the number of their Com mittee. Mr. WALKER, by 'direction of the Chairman, made a communication of the nature of the interview with Lord John Russell, which appeared in this paper ; and in refe rence to the question put by his Lordship as to the funds they had for obtaining an Act, he observed, that if their Act for the formation of Courts of Request had been made perfe,ct, they would then have had a suitor's fund, such as was possessed by other Courts of Request.' Mr. CUFF then . read a draft of .a Bill which had been agreed to by a .Sub-Committee. On the clause referring to the oath to be taken by the Commissioners, it was proposed that a Quaker might be admitted on affirmation. It was stated, that at present a Jew is qualified to be a Commissionr, and that there was one, a Mr. Jacobs, of Regent-street, who is . one of their body. The clauses in reference to the Statute of Limitations, as applicable to debts under 101., and that in referenCe to im prisonment, underwent a long discussion. Mr. MICHIE was against tie first clause remaining in the draft of the Bill. He was also strongly opposed to impri sonment for debt. _ _ Mr. WALKER said it would be a most inquisitorial power in the hands of masters over the workmen (if a power should be granted to a plaintiff to attach wages), unknown to the British Constitution. Messrs. York (the Secretary), Harrison,, Norman, &c., addressed the meeting, when on a show of hinds the clauses were left as they originally stood, A clause that in ten years after the passing of the Act all claims by.plaintiffs for moneys in the Court should be disallowed, after a long discussion was, on a division, agreed to. Mr. MICHIE next proposed. that the 2,000/. in the hands of the Court should be applied to the passing of the Act. They could not expect that the public at large should be burdened with the expense, when the Act was local. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and the Chair man received the thanks of the meeting, INFERNAL MACHINES.----OH Saturday three small boxes were brought to this town by the Birrriingham mail, addressed to Messrs. David Miller, Rose, and Hobson, dealers in different parts of the town. Mrs.. Miller was about opening that directed to her husband, when fortu nately Mr. Miller coming home prevented her. He having only one correspondent in Birmingham, a brother, from whom he is very frequently in the habit of receiving boxes, but of a much larger description, immediately on seeing the box suspected some mischief was intended. - Having heard of gunpowder plots, he determined to proceed cautiously. He accordingly removed the box into an adjoining building, and, having fixed a rope to a half hundred weight, he put the band round a hook by way of swivel, and let the weight descend with considerable velocity on the box. The con sequence was the box was partially broken, and the gun powder made its appearanec from the fissures. Water was instantly supplied to saturate the powder, and prevent an explosion.. Another blow completely exposed the contents of the box, being about six pounds of powder and other combustibles, so arranged that instant death must have oc curred to any person opening it in the ordinary way. Mr. Miller then immediately applied to the coach offices, and ascertained that the same conveyance brought two similar boies for persons in the same businesS, one of which he prevented being delivered, and the other from being opened. The diabolical Machines are ascertained to have been deli vered at the Star Coach Office, Chesterfield. Suspicion has fallen upon a party to whom one of the boxes was di rected, and he, we are informed, has been taken into cus tody.---Sheffield Iris. KIRBY V. PICKERING.. An injunction having been obtained against Mr. Picker ing to restrain him from selling any more of the Bridge water Treatises written by the plaintiff, entitled " The His tory, Habits, and Instincts of Animals," Mr. PARRY, at the rising of the Court, stated on behalf of Mr. Pickering, that it had been impossible yet to put in an answer to the bill, and to move to dissolve the injunc tion ; but. as soon as the Court sat after the holydays, Mr. Pickering would be able to, show that he had not concealed from Mr. Kirby the fact of 5,000 copies of the above work having been printed, nor any other fact connected with the agreement. KING'S BENCH-WEDNESDAY. DELBOS V. ABERDEEN. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when w..) went to Press, the Jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff. SITERTFFS' COURT.-WEDNESDAY ISLINGTON tIARKET.-RHODES V. PERKINS._ This was a case instituted by Mr. Rhodes, of Islington, against Mr. Perkins, of Blechingley, the owner of Islington market, to recover compensation for Mr. Rhodes's land, which is required to make roads to the new market. The Jury returned a verdict for the claimant for 1,307/. INSOLVENT COURT-WEDNESDAY The Court sat last night to a late hour to dispose of the arrears. It will sit again to-morrow for motions, and, on its rising, adjourn for the holydays, until the first day of January. Frederick. Blayney, described as an accountant . and agent, lately residing in Hamilton-place, New-road, was opposed by Mr. Nicholls on the part of Miss Eliza Payne and Mrs. Robinson-; as likewise by Mr. Cooke on the part of several creditors. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment from the date of filing his petition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. L A MBE T H- S TREET. Yesterday Thomas Sullivan, William Jourdan, and Andrew Morrison, underwent a further examination before Messrs. HARD WICK and NORTON, and several county Magistrates, relative to the Custom House robbery, and so groat was the anxiety of the public to see the prisoners and hear the particulars of the inquiry, that the Justice-room and every avenue leading to it were crowded long before the prisoners were placed at the bar. The prisoners .Sullivan and Jourdan were led from the strong room with an iron chain made fast to one of their legs and arm, and these on being placed in the felons' dock they took care to jirk so that their noise could be heard all over the office. Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Walford (solicitor to his Majesty's Customs), and Mr. Hobler attended to prosecute, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Humphries appeared to defend Sullivan and Jourdan, and Mr. C. Phillips for the prisoner Morrison. Mr. Adolphus said that the course he intended to pursue was to call one or two of the witnesses who could identify the prisoners in such a way as to connect them with the robbery, and then to request the Magistrates to remand them to a future day. The Learned Gentleman then called Thomas Anson, who stated that he was foreman to Mr. Tullett, a wine end spirit merchant in the Wegtminster road, and that in June last the prisoner Jourdan came to his master's house, and gave an order for a gallon of gin, a bottle of port, and a bottle of sherry, which he directed to be sent to No. 7, Stangate-street, Lambeth. They were sent to the place as directed, and were paid for, and that was all he knew about theni. _ _ _ William Lock, in July last, was carman to Mr. Tullet, and at that time knew the prisoner Sullivan, from Lis being in the habit of comit , into his master's shop. In July he changed a note for the prisoner, and should know that note again if he saw it.—(Mr. Adolphus here handed a five. pound note to the witness, which he identified to be the same.) The figures 5, 35, and his own initials on the note, were written by him, as he was sure the 5 was the sth of July, though he had omitted to mention the month, and that the note was the one he had changed for the prisoner, Thomas Sullivan. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—Did not know whe ther the note was for 51. or 101. until he had seen it. He had written the name of Mrs. Jones, Mount -street, Lam beth ; but did not know why he had done so. He had been with Mr. Tullet some time, and might have changed as many as 1,000 notes for different persons. By Mr. HARDWICK—He left the service of Mr. Tullet on the 15th of July last, and the only note he changed from the Ist of that month until he left, was the one he had changed for Sullivan ; and he recollected perfectly the prisoner giving him the name of Mrs. Jones, Mount -street, which he wrote on the note. MAGISTRATE—Did you suppose the prisoner lived at the house of Mrs. Jones, and therefore gave her name when you marked that name on the note ? Witness--I did; your Worship. By Mr. NORTON--It was customary with him to mark the month as well as the date on the notes he changed ; he could not account for his not doing so on the note pro duced, except his being in a hurry at the time. He would not change a note for a stranger, or those whom he had not seen before ; he changed the note in question for the pri soner only from his having seen him before in his master's shop. Mr. Adolphus here observed that the note in question formed a portion of the extensive robbery at the Custom house, and having traced it by the testimony of the last witness to the possession of the prisoner Sullivan, he had to request a remand of the prisoners to a future day. Mr. Phillips rose, and said that , nothing had been stated affecting the prisoner Morrison, and he must, therefore, re quest his discharge. The MAGISTRATES on this ordered the discharge of Morrison. Mr. Clarkson requested to know what course it was the intention of the prosecutors to pursue, and also the grounds upon which it was sought to remand the prisoners. Mr. HARDWICK understood that agents had been sent to different parts of the C o ntinent, and, from letters and communications from them, it appeared they had been enabled to trace out witnesses who could speak to the pri soners, as they had given an accurate description of their persons, in reference to the robbery, and therefore they (the Magistrates) felt bound to remand the prisoners, so as to give such witnesses an opportunity of coming to this country, and seeing the prisoners. Mr. Hobler was then sworn, and confirmed the observa tions of Mr. Hardwick. He said that, taking into account the probabilities of changes in the weather, he thought would' require a fortnight to bring to this country the ne cessary witnesses and collect the required evidence. A lengthened and somewhat personal and angry discus sion here ensued on Mr. Clarkson insisting on his right to cross-examine Mr. Hobler, for the purpose, as he said of testing the veracity of his statement. Mr. Adolphus de clarecUMr. Clarkson had no right, in a case like the pre sent, to cross-examine Mr. Hobler, or any just grounds for doubting his veracity, while Mr, Hobler himself retorted sharply upon his learned- opponent ; and the discussion was put an end to by Mr. Norton, who said they (the Magis= trates) could not enter at present into all the sources of information of Mr. nobler, as the attorney for the prose cution. It was sufficient to have the fact stated on his oath as an honest man and a respectable gentleman in his profession. The prisoners were ultimately remanded for a fortnight, aad were escorted to Clerkenwell Prison (as from thence) in a hackney-coach, handcuffed and chained, and guarded by three officers of the establishment, besides a party of police, who followed in a second coach.

Fourteen' men, armed with guns, entered his Lordship's property his lodge at Haddon, and made known to the watchers, their intention, and that it was useless for them to in terfere unless they wished to be shot—that they came from a distance to sport, and would have it. This so frightened' the few men set to guard the preserves, that they quietly looked on at the work of destruction. After firing about forty shots the party returned by the lodge, and having. fired a salute, and given three cheers, retired, wishing the inmates good night. They then proceeded to the covers of Sir Humphry Davy, about two miles on, and committed a similar trespass. We understand the same party, about three- weeks since, made an excursion to the preserves of Chapple Cleave, the seat of Mrs. Halliday. We would advise them to take care how they again venture on such excursions ; we promise them they are not all' unknown,, and, if we mistake not, some of those at or in the , neigh bourhood of Cleyhanger will shortly become the, inmates of a prison.—Sherborne Mercury.
