PIRIW OZTTITE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (?. ~,,. ~~. j, ,04,,„, • .- it , . _ - The Times must suppose its readers utterly unac quainted w;.th Irish History, when it ventures to make such sta'tements respecting the rebellion of 1641, as are contained in the communication of its Correspon dent " Y." and a leading article commenting on that coir.munication. We are told by the Times, that the Popish Rebellion of 1641 " Was in its execution, neither more nor less than a sudden, perfidious, bloody, and remorseless butchery, de signed for the extermination of all the Protestants in Ire land, and defeated by one of those interventions of Provi dence, to which, by the heedless or heartless ignorance of me-a, the name of accident has too often been awarded." We had imagined that after the successful expo sure of the falsehoods of Sir John Temple and simi lar partisan writers (unfortunately adopted by Mr. Ilume) no one would dare to say that the Irish - rebellion of 1641 was not the result of great provocation. The documents in Carte's "L ife of Ormond," and other publications or, o k ma,_ ter, of which Dr. Currie ably availr ., : i hi mse lf i n his Historical Memoir, prove the unfortunate Catholics we re goa d e d b y t ' at the head o f a ff a i rs in ~ a 0 . an principled men . hellion, whi c h, lik e all c Ireland, into the re - ionular risings under similar circumstances, was nr , doubt accompanied by great ex cesses. The E . adventur ers were constant l y scheming to St-‘,O the unfortunate Irish of their lands. •If we wish have an idea of the treatment of that race by tide English of that period, we may see some thing Ake it i n t h e treatment of the Indian tribes by the some thing_ We have not now time to go through the many atrocious' attempts during the sway of Straf for.., and down to the very eve of the rebellion. Even Cement Walker (a Presbyterian, and an avowed enemy of the Irish rebels) admits in his History of Independency, that " In the beginning almost of the Long Parliament, the Independents insisted openly upon it to have the Papists of Ireland rooted out, and their lands sold to adventurers ; and passing an Act for that purpose, necessitated the Irish to massacre the English Protestants, which was pur posely done by the Independents, that both Papists and Protestants might destroy one another there." Anil it has been proved that Sir William Parsons, one 'if the Lords Justices connected with the Puritans, `" Did positively declare, before the Irish fell from their Obedience, at a public entertainment, that within a twelve smonth no Catholic should be seen in Ireland ; and many %ands were sought ; and thousands found to subscribe a petition tending to the introduction of a severe persecution against Catholics." The Marquis of Clanricarde, in a letter to the Duke of Richmond, so early as the 23d of January, 1611, giving an account of the causes of the rebellion, informs him that— " All the Irish generally were discontented with those that managed the affairs of State, whom they charged with secret practising both there and in England before the commotion began, to raise parties and factions to destroy their religion ; to divert and hinder the King's graces in -tended towards them ; and by that means to put theminto desperation, that they might forfeit their lives and fortunes. And since the distempers began, that they (the Lords Jus tices) had so disposed of affairs, as if the design was laid to put the whole kingdom into rebellion." We have not now space to enter into an account of the various schemes then entertained for stripping the Irish of their estates. One of the schemes was an in quiry into defective titles, and all that the Irish claimed was an Act of Limitation, barring all such in quiry in the case of estates of land quietly enjoyed, without claim or interruption, for the space of sixty years immediately preceding. By the legal fiction that the King is the universal proprietor, and that he might dispose of all lands to which a good English title could not be shown, it may be easily conceived that no Irishman could consider himself secure in his estate. • The rebellion of 1641 was the work of ava rice assuming then, as it does now, the mask of religion. If we are to appeal to history, let the truth be fairly told.—Morning Chronicle. Whe had at first intended to make some remarks upon the proceeding's of the agriculturists, as reported in yesterday's Times, and on the speech of Earl Stan hope. But really we cannot, and fortunately we need not. With the utmost respect for the landed interest as a mighty and invaluable public body, and with sin cere personal esteem for the Noble Lord who stood forward to represent it on this occasion, it would be impossible for us, consistently with an outward ob servance of such sentiments, to express our opinions freely with regard to their arguments or their measures. We are unable to write seriously about the currency question, in connexion with the distresses of agriculA Lure. We have not command of our own muscles, and we have too much pity for those of .our neighbours, to undertake a discussion on the subject of cc equit able adjustment ;" and with those who recommend a reduction of the taxes affecting agriculture, we can hold no logioal communion, when. they affirm that an entire abolition of rents would not make three far things' difference in the price of the quartern loaf I For all that, we wish heartily well to the landed inte rest, and would be its advocate even on the present occasion, if we could understand the meaning of the proceedings.—Times. A mighty quarrel 'has arisen between certain Com missioners appointed by the Whig Ministry to inquire into the state of burgh matters in Scotland and the Town Council. of Edinburgh, the bone of contention being the patronage of the University of Edinburgh, including the appointment of Professors and other officers of that scholastic institution. For once we incline to think a body of Whig Commissioners in the right. It is manifestly absurd to suppose that any burgh Corporation in Scotland, as these are now con stituted, can have any idea, or any feeling, calculated to lead to the appointment of proper or competent Professors of au University. The patronage is to be taken out of the hands of . the Town Council, to be placed, perhaps, in bad hands, but certainly not in worse hands, for that were impossible, than theirs who, as now constituted, are the last body upon earth to whom such a power ought to be committed. There is not, and never can be, a man of them but what would be willing to abolish humine letters, and inter dict scientific investigation for ever, fo get an appoint._ ment of 1501. a year for his fiftieth cousin. Tt i s quite true, as the Committee of the Edinburgh To wn that Council urge, with little advantage to their cp: tise , many eminent men have heretofore been kced. in Pro fessors' chairs by the votes of the Town Councils. There have been, as we are reminde,: f by our excellent contemporary of the Edinburgh I:4vening Post, Whytt, and the Monroes, and 81ae,',3 and Cullen, and the Gregories, and Fergusson,. and Dugald Stewart, and Robinson, and Playfair, , and Leslie, and Brown, and Murray, and a host of others of equal fame ; but what is all this to the, 'purpose? The Committee of the Edinburgh To.mn Council forgets that all the above appointmer.cs were made by the old, corrupt, unre formed r:Jorporations of Scotland. Who'possessed of eonur.on sense believes that the new and popularly elected Corporations will be fit to sustain any compa tison with the old, in respectability, intelligence, or public spirit ? The argument of the C omm itt ee o f the To wn C ounc i l of Edinbur g h is an evasion of the whole question. What the Whig Commissioners mean to say, and on this one occasion Whia Commissio speak truth, is, th a t a l though the old°Corporationsners of Scotland 'droved themselves qualified to exercise aca demical patronage. , to the advancement of letters and the v.avantage of the community, it would be ridiculous to expect tlie same fitness for this important office -in the new, reformed, and popular Town Councils. We may, perhaps, be answered that it is all a trick, and that the Whig Commissioners have had no other ob ject iq vicw than to divert certain valuable patronage to :he political uses of the Administration, or to their own. Be it so. Nothing can be more probable. But, In proclaiming the unfitness of the new Scotch Cor porations to exercise academical patronage, they never theless promulgate what is true, and we pay homage to truth, by whomsoever, or from whatever motive, it may be spoken.—Morning Post. The last defence of the insulting speech of the Rus• Sian Emperor to the Poles, which appeared in the .Alkemeine Zeituna and to which we briefly drew the attention of our readers immediately on its reaching us, is so singular,-perhaps we may add, so important a document; as regards some of the confessions and disclosures which it makes, that it would seem to call upon us for some additi ona l remar k s. Although it ---- larsGerman paper of some celebrity, no pub li e writer who has hitherto commented upon it has hesitated to impute to it a semi-Official Character and Russian pareuta,,,me.

The general tenour of this defence of the War saw speech m a y i n d ee d b e concentrated in 6. feW *Ord& It is simply this—thA the Emperor haViiig the most ruthless feelings towards the Poles h his heart, it was better for him to avow the Mali, as he did, than to mask it under the form of an official We Will give the Russian diplomatist's own because the sentiment is expressed with Some ingenuity and sar castic point, and we Aould be glad to see one part of the writer's I `.'..nt to his brother diplomatists not thrown away, " What did the Emperor say ?" sa the";rifer ; " you wi s h t o ma k e a speech to me, gen tlemen ; but I decline it, in order to spare you a lie. Was that not the case ? Lies, which in such cases are spoken with barefaced levity, or as a mere form of civility. If a high-minded Pole chose for his motto, I prefer dangerous freedom to tranquil slavery,' shall not the man esteem dangerous truth more than a con venient lie ? Who that has any sense of this truth, of the dignity that becomes a man, of the dignity of mankind, is not disgusted at the odious melody of the official ballad singers, ground on the barrel organ of hypocritical etiquette, on such occasions of parade ?" Is there anything so solemn in the stereotyped, Mes sieurs, je suis sensible, with the obligato accompa-' niment, that the unmeaning speeches, which do not come from the heart, should go to the heart ?" The epigrammatic point in this passage is sparkling, but its glitter will not prevent the eye of a practised critic from detecting the moral poison which stains with cowardly design the brilliant weapon of the wit. The compliment paid is that which might be paid to the frankness of a murderer, who, strip ping off his mask, should say to his victim, " I shall not disguise myself. I have robbed you, and I shall now destroy you. It is my interest by your destruc tion to secure myself against the chance of your future refenge." That is, in fact, the whole amount of the defence. But the writer, in making it, drops some little hints; either accidentally or purposely, which are worthy of a brief notiCC. First, the chief blame of the Russian outrages in Poland is imputed to the Con gress of Vienna, which united Poland with Russia--a severe and pointed lesson to profligate diplomacy. " State policy," says this document, " which attempted to unite what was most incompatible, which combined what was most dissimilar, has to answer for this con tradiction, this necessary conflict, and all the evils that have arisen or may yet arise from it." The sophistry of this excuse for State criminality is as easily detectible as the foregoing. What prompted the ambitious and craving maw of Russia', long before Poland was transferred to it, to attempt to gorge and incorporate with itself a morsel so incompatible with its vital elements, and so incoalescible except by a forced process. of unhealthy digestion ? Every one knows—and we used the same argument with regard to the present Spanish and French Cabinets—that freedom cannot exist without collision by the side- of despotism. But who compelled Russia, we repeat, to hunger for the junction of a free State with her im penetrable and icebound despotism ? But the diplo matic champion of Russia is not satisfied with defend ing his master according, doubtless, to the code of morality which is fitted to the latitude of St. Peters burg, but, like a skilful General, he attempts to divert his opponents from the weak place by making an at tack on them. " Poland," says the writer, "is the Ireland of Russia—it was doomed to be so by its geographical position ;" and then, since frankness seems to be the order of the day with him, he drops these two hints en passant—one is, that if we wish that " Poland should not be the Ireland of Russia, we ought to have thought of it before." We do not know what new spur will be requisite to stimulate that su pineness which we have so recently and repeatedly attri buted to the British commercial community. The second is a hint growing out of the first, and equally worthy of silent annotation, that "even Constantinople may share the fate of Warsaw, if we are equally supine." The writer, then, apparently tired of a task so unfitted to Russian diplomacy, as that of denouncing the sys tem of diplomatic lying which is in fact its very life blood, suddenly bolts out with an assertion which when we pronounce it to be a falsehood, we doubt not that the verdict will be echoed by every one who reads it— " The speech of the Emperor is harsh, but it says no thing which, under similar circumstances, would not be done in France, and even in England." Even if this allegation were the truth, the argument would prove nothing. It would merely be a repetition or amplifi cation of the Juvenalian adage-- " Cledius accusal mcechos ; Catalina Cathegum." A bad character is not made better through being ac cused by a bad character. An evil act does not jus tify an evil act. But it is not the truth. We need not say a word more respecting this self-refuting falsehood. It is not worth while to fight with giants of the semi official scr ib e ' s own creation. But in another passage he again couples together a mischievous sophistry with a useful admonition. Like all knaves, there is just sufficient folly in his composition to counteract his knavery. He is just thoughtless or contemptuous enough to supply the " bane and antidote" at the same time. He argues that Poland is not yet de pressed so low as Ireland, but it probably will be, if we in England and in other free States persist in sti mulating the outraged and oppressed to turn on the oppressor. "Poland is not yet depressed so low as Ireland, but it may come to this if the promises of foreigners—if the splendid prospects which they hold out in high-sounding speeches and articles, should make an impression on the sons of an unhappy country." So, we are, according to the moral code of this minion of despotism, even to withhold the ex pression of moral sympathy with the miseries of our fellow-creatures, nurtured like ourselves on the soil and in the atmosphere of free • opinion. We are to mould our countenances even to the form of apathetic indifference—we are to quench the flashing in dignation of the eye—we must not even look displea sure at the tyrant—in order that we may not prompt the mutilated and insulted victim to make one last des perate struggle, in order to free himself from the avowed doom of death and of dishonour. But we are glad to see the tyrant judging himself from his own mouth, and forced as it were, by the internal agonies of his own conscience, to announce to the world that there are yet hopes for Poland ; that though trampled under foot, she breathes defiance to him and to his legions; and that it is only by the instant and constant applica tion of main force, she is kept down. He tells Europe plainly, as lie told the Deputies of Warsaw, that this is the truth—that to assert the contrary would be a lie. Flee Europe will have time and cause to think on this declaration.—Morning Advertiser. A marine soldier in 1756, was ordered to be shot at Plymouth Dock for desertion. The marine companies, and the 4th Regiment, were ordered to - attend the execu tion. About nine in the morning, the prisoner was brought out of the barracks, after having received the sacrament, and escorted by an officer's guard and the clergyman ; his coffin was carried before his face, which made the procession more dreadful and solemn. About ten he got to the field of execution : he frequently kneeled and prayed. About eleven the commanding officer ordered him to march round the troops to admonish them, and the clergyman dictated what he should say, after which he returned to his place. There were nine men, who were formerly deserters, ordered to shoot him ; he kneeled, and was bid by the officer to pull his cap over his face, whiCh he did, and whilst the officer turned round, dropped a handkerchief out of his hand, which was understood by the men as a signal to shoot him ; and three of them instantly fired through his body. The officer had a reprieve in his pocket, but by some un accountable futility, the poor man lost his life. A very curious scene is said to have taken place in the chamber of the Princess of Talleyrand, after she had ex pired. She had given i❑ her dying moments a casket, con taining papers, to the Archbishop of Paris, who attended her, with the injunction to hand them to the Corntesse D'Estignac. That lady having come, the Archbishop pm: ceeded to fulfil the direction of the defunct, when a person age, representing the interests of the Prince, interfered, and said the papers should not be given up. Madame D'Estig nac had also a friend who interfered in behalf of her right to the casket, and violence threatened to terminate the dis pute, when a Juge de Pail., hastily summoned, came iu, and declared, that he would keep the object of dispute it) his possession until the right to 'it was legally decided, StiN; LONDON,_TiItitSbAY, AI ER 17, 1835, EAST INDIA MOUSE • , (CorOu'ded,.frpriqhe Sitniqf ,:)esierdaY,) ,gr. was `deCidediit ad f4,onr of the ; grant proo, - ,?..ed to bp given to Lord Clare. The ground, how ever, upon which he supported the grant was confined to the losses which he had sustained in consequence of the Bombay Government not having sent a steam-boat to re ceive his Lordship, as directed by the Court of Di retteM tie aid not think the grant of 5,0001. was so paltry a sum ; and as Lord Clare had sustained a loss from circumstances iiVet which he had no controul he thought that he ought to he indemnified by the East India Com pany: tie begged, therefore, to move as an amendment, that 5,0001. be granted to Lord Clare, to reimburse him for the losses which he had sustained. Mr. MARJORIBANKB contended that nothing bad been stated to justify the proposed grant. . Mr. FIELDER called on them in the name of the natives of India, in the name of the absent proprietors, not to con sent to this vote. Mr. MARRIOTT was also opposed to this grant, on the ground of its being likely to form a precedent. Sir It. CAMPBELL had opposed the grant in the Court of Directors as far as it related to the loss sustained by the Noble Lord going overland to India ; but when be came to consider the eminent services of Lord Clare in his ca pacity of Governor of Bombay, he at once admitted the Torce of the claim thus made upon the proprietors. Col. LUSHINGTON objected to the vote on the grounds stated by his colleagues, Messrs. Astell and Wigram. Sir C. Foam's was favourable to the grant to Lord Clare on the ground of the manner in which he cut down the ex penses of the Government of Bombay. The.only tour taken by Lord Clare was one to meet the Governor-General of ,India, and the expenses of that tour only amounted to be tween 27,000 and 28,000 rupees. What former Gdernor ever travelled at so trifling an expense before? The pro posed compensation would not be one-half per cent. upon the saving effccted by Lord Clare. He wished to know if any communication had been made by the Court of Direc tors to the Board of Control in respect to the grant now before the Court of Proprietors ? The CHAIRMAN-It would have been quite unconsti tutional to have gone to the Board of Control in the first instance. Sir C. FORBES—Am Ito understand that Sir J. Hob house was not spoken to on this subject ? Mr. WIGRAM objected to this inquiry. Mr. Roanisom, M.P., said that on no one of the grounds specified by the advocates of this grant was it justified ; it was, therefore, sought to do so by mixing all the grounds up together.—( Hear.) He should o ppose th e gran t. After a few words from the Deputy Chairman, Mr. WEEDING moved that his amendment be put. Upon the suggestion, however, of Sir C. Forbes and Mr. Wigram, Mr. Weeding consented to withdraw his amendment. After a few words from Mr. Mackenzie, the original re solution, as proposed by the Chairman, was put to the Court, but, as a ballot was demanded, no decision was taken. The names of the gentlemen demanding a ballot were Mr. Wigram, Mr. Lindsey, Mr. Astell, Mr. Seale, Mr. Fielder, and Mr. Robinson, M.P. The ballot was ap pointed to take place this day week. Upon the motion of Mr. Weeding an addition was made to the by-law, cap. 6 sec. 13 ; and also that the matters to be discussed in the Court of Proprietors should appear in two or more newspapers, three days before the day of meeting.

KING'S BENCII-WEDNESDAY. HASLOCK V. FERGUSSON. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to Press, the plaintiff was nonsuited ; but the plain tiff's Counsel, Mr. Coltman, reserved to himself the right either to move to set aside the nonsuit, or to tender a bill of exceptions. TYRIE V. .JOHNSTON. This was an action to recover a sum of 246/. 12s. Gd. claimed as the balance due upon a charter . party effected by the defendant upon the plaintiff's ship, the Leona. The defendant had chartered that , vessel to proceed to Llanelly l in Wales, " or so near thereto as she could safely get," and take in a cargo of coals, which were " to be brought alongside," and with which the vessel was then to pro ceed to Jamaica. The freight to be paid was 18s. Gd. a ton, and the cargo was to be put on board within the first ten days, after notice given that the ship was ready to receive it. If the cargo was not pat on board by that time the defendant was to pay 5/. per day for each and every day of the succeeding ten days, and after the expiration of this period the longer stay of the vessel was to be at the expense of the defendant. The ship pro ceeded to Llanelly, but did not go into dock, as it would have struck there when the tide fell, and its build was such that it must have been materially injured by striking the bottom while taking in cargo. The question was, whether, as the Latona had not entered the dock, the terms of the charter party had been complied with. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 246/. 12s. 6d. COMMON PLEAS-WEDNESDAY. BOURDIEU AND OTHERS V. ROWE AND OTHERS. This was an issue directed by thedo;;;i - of or,;;ery to ascertain the just and proper share of the profits of a mer cantile firm in Dominica, in the West Indies, trading under the name and style of Dodson and Co., which a Mr. Tho mas Dodson, deceased, was entitled to from July, 1791, to August, 1798. The original bill was filed by the plaintiffs, Dodson's representatives, in 1808, against Gudgeon, the surviving partner, who is likewise since deceased. The de fendant's answer denied the existence of any agreement or understanding between him and Dodson as to the precise portion which the latter was to have, and in the absence of any agreement or stipulation, the Lord Chancellor and Vice Chancellor were of opinion that, as they both were in part nership, the presumption in law was that they should have eqUal shares, unless that presumption was altered or rebut ted by an express stipulation to the contrary, and this issue was accordingly directed, in order to have the opinion of a Court of Common Law. The rebutting of this presumption lying on the defend ants, Mr. Sergeant WILDE first stated their case, and put in an enormous mass of evidence, chiefly documentary. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case for the plain tiffs, and it being late when he closed, the Court adjourned till the next day, when Mr. Sergeant Wilde will have the general reply for the defendants. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. DEC. 15.—Mr. Bonaix was instructed to apply to their Lordships to fix the trial of those persons against whom a true bill had been found for forgery and uttering notes, purporting to be the genuine notes of the Bank of Austria. The reason for making such an application arose from the Attorney-General being engaged for the prosecution, and it was desirable that the Aftorney-General should be ap prised when the case was likely to come on. Their Lordships, as there was no case of murder or man slaughter, would take it on Friday. It was then finally fixed to take place on Friday at ten o'clock. Amongst the bills found by the Grand Jury on Tuesday night was one preferred by some of the electors of the city of Canterbury against one of the members of the Corpo ration of that city. The alleged offence is perjury, which is stated to have been committed before the Committee of the House of Commons during the investigation which took place upon the last election for the above place. The cause will, we understand, be removed into the Court of King's Bench by a writ of certiorari. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Lea, the officer who apprehended William Jourdan and Thomas Sullivan on a charge of being con cerned in the late extensive robbery at the Custom House, stated to Mr., Hardwick, the presiding Magistrate, the progress which he had made in obtaining evidence against the prisoners, and his discovery of some most important documents, which prove, beyond all moral doubt, not alone the prisoners' participation in the robbery at the Custom House, but several others in this country and America, of nearly as daring and extensive a description. Lea, in consequence of information which had reached him in the course of his inquiries, had called upon Mr. Brace, a respectable baker, residing in Goodman's-yard, Minories, and there found a box which had been left by a female who passed as the wife of William Jourdan, and upon opening it; he discovered a great variety of letters and documents, some of them of a curious description, and the principal part of them of the utmost importance, as con necting him (Jourdan) with the robbery at the Custom House, as well as others in America. Mr. Brace accounted to him (Lea) for his possession of the box in question, and his knowledge of the prisoner Jourdan and his wife, by saying that, in the year 1832, he (Mr. Brace) it as one of the Committee of Management of the Irish Free School in his neighbourhood, in which a girl, the daughter of a poor woman, named Hart, then living in the most indigent circumstances, was in. In the May of that year the prisoner Jourdan, but who then went by the name of John. Leary (which was his right name), called upon him, and said he was going to America, and placed in his hands the sum of 121., which he desired him to pay to his mother, Mrs. Hart, and bis half sister, Mary Hart, at the rate of five shillings a week, and by the time it would be expended he should, hesaid, remit a fur ther sum. He, Mr. Brace, had done as he was instructed, and in six months afterwards Leary, which was his name, sent for the mother and sister to proceed to hiin to America, with ample means to take them there. From- that time until the spring of 1834 he had not heard any thing of them ; but at that time Leary called at his house to inquire if any letters had been sent there to him by his mother, whom he said he had left with his sister at New York ; adding that he himself had just arrived from Virginia. At that time no letter had arrived, but shortly after a letter was received 'by him, Mr. Brace, from a Mr. Petit, the land lord of the Philadelphia Hotel, at New York, where the mother and sister of Leary had been for some time before living, announcing the death of the former. Leary sub sequently called to make some arrangements for the return of his sister, and bad also given a refrence to him when he had taken a house from Mr. Meldrum, baker, in White Hart row, Kennington. On the 29th of October last Mrs. Jour dan called upon him, Mr. Brace, and said that her husband was at Birmingham, that her house had beer. attempted to be robbed, and that, therefore, she wished to deposit in his care the box which she had brought with her, as it con tained many valuable papers, and she was afraid if she kept _ _ it, it would be stolen from her. She also said that her hus band was a jeweller, and was'in the habit of travelling from one place to another, and that he had lately been to Hol land. Mr. Brace, on her representation, took in the box, and it remained in his house ever since. On the 19th of the preceding month, September, Leary called on him with a 100/., in ten-pound Bank of England notes, which he re quested him to keep for him until he wanted it, of which he would give him six months' notice, and told him that he had changed his name from Leary to Jourdan, in conse quence of his being left a large sum of money by a Spanish gentleman with whom he lived, and that he (Jourdan) was then in extensive business as a Spanish merchant. Mr. Brace, in conclusion, declared that he had considered Jour dan a respectable man, as he always came to his house on horseback, and was, up to the time of his apprehension, paying 401. a year for the education of his half sister, Miss Hart, whom he had brought home from America, and who was, in 1831, but a poor ragged barefoot girl, at the Irish free school, but was at present being taught all the accom plishments of a lady. Lea, on looking over the papers in the box, found the copy of a letter sent by Jourdan to his step-sister at New York, requesting her return to this country ; and desiring her to be particular in bringing with her the jewels and diamonds belonging to her cousin Tom (Thomas Sullivan), and also the box of tools which had been left in her mo ther's care. Lea observed that there could be no doubt that the prisoners were obliged to make a precipitate re treat from America, and the box of tools alluded to was a, box of ingeniously - constructed housebreaking implements, which he (Lea) u nderstood the prisoners were in the habit of leaving in the care of the mother of Jourdan, who was at the time living at a hotel; and who would not, of course, be suspected of having such articles. He had also found a list of the American bankers, together with maps and charts of the United States bound in splendid morocco, as well as other documents, to show that large sums of money had passed through Jourdan's hands Vvhile in America. In connection with the Custom-house robbery, he (Lea) found the bills of parcels of several tradesmen to whom a portiOn of the stolen notes had been passed, and memorandums which, though trifling in themselves, would become of con siderable importance in the course of inquiry. The officer further said he had received a letter from an individual who was in America at the time, stating .that the priSoner Thos. whcase person, as well as that of a female who ac et-M.4)01W him as his wife, he accurately described, and who went by various names, at one time callin g himself' Lyons; and another Saunders, and had committed various oliensitre robberies there ; escaped from prison, and em barket `ben" ltyJanuary, 1834, for England, taking with him not.less a surf than 25,000 dolla rs , an d a t th e time offered as a reward f or his 4 000 or 5,000 dollars were , ap prehension. Yesterday,•Stitton, a constable of MaceleZeid, arrived in town, and at once identified the piisoner, Thomag btil livan, as the person who bad effected his escape from the Borough Coropter at that place on the night of the 9th if November ; 1831. It appeared from the statement of Sut ton, that a few days before his escape the prisoner had been apprehended on suspicion, with a person named Wilson, while purchasing a quantity of silk at a shop in Maccles field,- and when searched four 504 notes of the Irish Pro vincial Bank, together with a Bill of EAchange for 381., were found oil his person, and it was subsequently ascer tained that this property had been stolen from a Mr. Ste phens, .a Gentleman residing at Cork, with his pocket book, a short time before, in Vauxhall Gardens. Sullivan by great dexterity, broke out of prison while under exami nation, but was subsequently indicted with Wilson for the robbery. Wilson was acquitted, but the indictment still remains against Sullivan. It is not a little singular, that both the prisoners, who were, but a few years ago, ragged urchins, - and running about the streets of Whitechapel, should have, by their daring and dexterity, not only lived in the best style, but, in the course of four or five years, as is apparent from the documents belonging to them, have realised at least 10,000!. each. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S MARITIME SERVICE. The CHAIRMAN said the Conrt had been further made special to consider a motion relative to the claim to com pensation of Captains Glasspoole, Barrow, and Newell. Captain NEWELL rose to bring the claims of himself and his brother officers before the Court, and said, as the grounds upon which they sought compensation were before the Court, he would not detain the Proprietors, but would move a resolution to the effect— " That according to the intention of the Court in the scheme of compensation proposed by them for their mari time officers, Captains Newell, Barrow, and Glasspoole are entitled to the pension of 2001. per annum, granted by the Court to Commanders generally of the late maritime ser vice, who had been in actual service between the 28th of August, 1828, and the 28th of August, 1833, and that the Court of Directors be directed to take the necessary steps for paying the sum accordingly." Mr: FIELDZR seconded the motion. Sir C. FORBES also supported the resolution. After some remarks from Mr. ASTELL the resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. SWEET was then called upon to bring forward the no tice of motion which he had given relative to the officers of the Company's late maritime service to whom no com pensation bad been granted. He concluded by moving the followint, resolution :—" That the Court of Di r ect ors b e requested to take into consideration, and report upon, the claims and cases of those maritime officers whose interests are affected by a discontinuance of the Company's trade, and whom the Directors may be of opinion are under the special and particular circumstances of their cases entitled to compensation, by way of pension or gratuity, although they may not have been in the actual service of the Com pany for five years previous to the 28th of August, 1833, the Directors in considering and reporting upon such cases to have regard to the 7th section of the Act of 3d and 4th William I V., cap. 85, and not to hold themselves bound by the rule of time alleged to have been adopted by the reso lution of the Court of Proprietors, as necessary to be ad hered to in awarding pensions or gratuities under such re solution." Colonel STANHOPE seconded the resolution. Mr. WEEDING supported it also. Mr. ROBINSON, would rather support the claims of the excluded in that Court than in the House of Com mons. He protested against any line being drawn which would exclude any officers of the Company. He never could believe that that Court would refuse to give com pensation to the unfortunate individuals whose cause he advocated. It would be monstrous if such a course were followed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) There was, he felt, one difficulty to contend with—that of inducing the Executive to re-consider the question. There were ample funds to meet all the claims. The 1,500,0001. would allow special cases to be introduced. He would not compensate those who had voluntarily quitted the service. To all who had the intention of returning to it compensation ought to be granted—they were legally entitled to it. Sir C. FORBES fully concurred in all that had fallen from the Hon. Member. The CHAIRMAN said that if the resolution moved were now adopted, he hoped the Court of Proprietors would themselves draw up a scheme to carry their intention into effect. Mr. ASTELL considered the Court of Proprietors were binding themselves to a project which must end in disap pointment. He trusted that the motion would not be adopted. After some further discussion the question was put, and the resolution proposed by Mr. Sweet was carried by a large majority.--(Cheers.) THE DUTY UPON EAST INDIA SUGAR. Mr. FIELDER asked if it was the intention of the Court of Directors to take any measures in the next session of Parliament to obtain the repeal of the duty on East India sugars ? The CHAIRMAN said the attention of the Court was di rected to it ; but there had been a tacit promise on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring the sub ject before the House in the next session. The Court then adjourned. On Friday night, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'olock, the dwelling-house of the Misses Martin at Lamport, near Buckingham, was broken into by four men, on. of whom immediately proceeded to Miss Martin's bed room, and addressing her desired her to lie still, and make no alarm, and no person in the house should be molested. This man was young, wore a round fustian jacket, and had on a high cap, supposed for disguise. While this man stood guard to prevent any alarm, the other three fellows were engaged in plundering the house above and below, from dif ferent parts of which they succeeded in carrying off a variety of property ; amongst which was 33/., in sovereigns, besides a 5/. note of the Buckingham Bank, several table spoons, and other articles of plate, together with a variety of jewellery, consisting of, amongst other articles, a thick gold chain and eye-glass, a diamond pin, a gold locket, two' sets of gold earrings, a plain oval silver box with an ante lope's head for crest, and the Dayrell arms engraved ; two miniatures set in garnets, and two valuable silver-mounted tortoiseshell boxes. After plundering the house of the above property, four men were observed to leave it about 1 o'clock. The day previously to the robbery having been effected, an active young man, five feet seven or eight inches in height, with a dark velveteen shooting jacket, a pair of very small cord breeches, leather (tan) leggings, and a rather smart hat, was seen near the house, making in quiries about the family, in company with a shorter man, dressed in a blue butcher's frock, worked with white. A reward of .50/. has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders by the Misses Martin, and a further sum of 50/. by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. THE ROMANS ESSENTIALLY iS is a very great mistake to consider the Romans as exclu sively a warlike people. They were essentially farmers ; they loved farming, and their greatest men paid much at tention to it. This circumstance must alw j lys be remem bered in studying Roman history • it alone explains a variety of phenomena in their political development. My know ledge of conntry life and farming, as well as my acquain tance with the history of the Ditmarsians, have greatly as sisted me in my historical inquiries. Those Ditmarsians were a very peculiar race—as gallant lovers of liberty as ever existed.—" Lieber's Reminiscences of Niebuhr," BOW-STREET. John Weekes, who was apprehended by Francis Keys, an officer of this establishment, on the charge of having having broken into the house of the Rev. Mr. Wright, at Bendhill, in Surrey, on the night of the 15th of November, and stolen a quantity of valuable property therefrom, was yesterday finally committed for trial at the next Assizes for the county of Surrey, to be holden at Kingston in March next, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. HATFIELD HOUSE. HATFIELD, DEC. 16.—1 n answer to an application from the Reporters, for permission to be present at the inquest, they received from the Coroner, Mr. Osbaldiston, a note, of which the following is a copy : " Hatfield House, Dec. 16. " Mr. Osbaldiston presents his compliments to the gentle men attending from the London Press, and as he does not see that any good end can result from their attending at the in quest about to be held, he begs very respectfully to decline acceding to their request. Mr. Osbaldiston will, however, be most happy to show the gentlemen his papers after the inquest is over, and afford them any other information in his power." _ _ _ It would no doubt have been much more satisfactory to the press and to the public if the Court upon this occasion had been open. It is natural to conclude that the Coroner had good and sufficient reasons for keeping it closed. THE INQUEST. The Jury assembled about one o'clock in the steward's room, where the remains upon which their verdict was to be founded were collected in a box for their inspection. Mr. L. Thomas, a surgeon, examined—l have examined the bones now produced. They are the bones of a human being. They were all found together or nearly so. They consist in part of a portion of the lower jaw, and from its peculiar formation I have no doubt it was that of the late Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury. There were also found portions of nearly all the bones. I have known the I,,ady Salisbury many years, and have attended her profes sionally, and, therefore, feel myself competent to speak as to thd identity of the jaw bone. I remember Friday, the 27th of November last. The fire broke out at Hatfield House that night. I was there about six o'clock. The deceased was staying there at the time. The bones now produced have evidently been burned by fire. Elizabeth Nutley, one of the housemaids in the establsh ment of the Marquis of Salisbury—l remember Friday, the 27th of November last. There was a fire at Hatfield House on that night. It broke out a little after five o'clock in the afternoon, either in the deceased's bed room or in her dressing-room. I had occasion to go to her apartments a few minutes before five. She was then writing at a table in her dressing-room. Two candles were burning on the table. They were in large up right candlesticks. She asked me for a third, which was in a flat candlestick, and which I brought, and put on the table. The table was a kidney table, and rather narrow. I left her writing. _Her jewellery was in her bed-room, which adjoins her dressing-room. She was perfectly well when I left her, and no one was in the room with her. About six o'clock Mrs. Brown, a needlewoman at work in the house, came down to the housemaid's room, and told us there was a strong smell of fire in the west wing. Two or three of us immediately ran out to endeavour to trace the source of it, and in a short time we went to the de ceased's bed-room. On opening the door we found it full of smoke. The deceased was in the room at the time, and has not since been seen or heard of. Several articles of jewellery now produced I recognise as having belonged to the deceased, particularly part of a chain-which she had on when I went into the room with the candle. I also recog nise a pair of nail scissors, now produced, and a portion of the flat candlestick I took in to her. As I went up stairs I opened the door of the room occupied by her maid. The maid was there, but there was no fire, except that which burned in the grate. Nicholas Hellwin, cook in the service of the Marquis of Salisbury, and Esther Brown, gave evidence to the same effect. Without hesitation, the Jury brought in a verdict of— " Accidentally burned to death." With one of the articles stillremaining undiscovered, viz., a bracelet or necklace, there are some peculiar circum stances connected. It had been a present from Charles 11. to one of the Cecil family, and came into the- possession of the Marchioness. It was stolen some time back from Hatfield House, and could not be found for a considerable time. About two years after the theft it was seen on the neck of a Lady, an acquaintance of her Ladyship, into whose possession it came by purchase. It was thus re covered, and there is still a hope of again recovering it. There could not have been, and there was not, any hesi tation as to the verdict, the articles found having been com pletely identified as having belonged to the Marchioness, and no other person who resided in that or any other part of the house, with the exception of her Ladyship, being missing. Though the Coroner, upon consideration, thought it the most advisable course to keep the Court closed, he most readily, and with personal inconvenience to himself, com municated the whole of the evidence. It is well known that in all cases of inquest, this Gentleman never closes the Court, unless under circumstances of a very peculiar nature. LEITIL—SHIPWRECKS.—We regret to announce the total wreck of the brig Violet, Calder master, of this port ; and what adds to the calamity, is the loss of the master and four of the crew. The Violet shipped a full cargo of Spanish wines at Cadiz, and sailed for this port about the beginning of last month, and when off the coast of France, on the Ist instant, she encountered a severe gale of wind, under which she laboured for some time, till the winds and waves obtained the mastery, when she went to pieces on the rocks, with, as we have stated, the loss of five of the crew. The ship and cargo were insured. Fears are entertained for another Leith vessel, bound as above, with wine from Cadiz to this port. She has been missing for some time, and the utmost anxiety prevails regarding her fate. The Albion, from Rotterdam to Leith, while crossing the North Sea, was struck on the 23d ult. by a heavy sea, which immediately laid her on her beam ends ; in this condition she was abandoned by all hands, but was afterwards picked up by the brig Ceres, who succeeded in towing the leaking vessel into Scarborough. The cargo consisted chiefly of cheese, which, if not broken, will not be much damaged. EFFECT OF RAILWAYS ON TILE VALUE OF PROPERTY.—The prospect of the speedy construction of the Dundee and Forfar Railway, has had the effect of raising the value of property in Arbroath. Several pro perties have lately changed hands, at prices which they would not have nearly brought a few weeks ago. As an example, two properties at the harbour were disposed of by judicial sale, in Edinburgh, about a fortnight ago—the one was put up at its proven value of 6201., and after a keen competition was knocked down for 9601. ; and the other was put up at the proven value of 8601., and sold for 1,1901. Another property, also at the harbour, which was bought some years ago for 800/., has since been sold by private bargain for 1,200/. CONNAUGHT DINNER TO O'CONNELL.-At this moment a requisition is in progress, calling a public meeting to take measares for entertaining Mr. O'Connell, as early as possible, at a grand provincial dinner in Conndught. We believe that the requisition originated by the illustrious Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, who watches with parental care over the temporal as well as the spiritual in terests of all who are entrusted to his charge. Martin J. Blake, Esq., M.P., is giving to the requisition his earnest a ttention, and Mr. Bodkin, M.P., is doing the same. The venerable Bishop of Galway has entered with his charac teristic zeal into the patriotic project ; and there is no doubt that in every part of the province it will be hailed with delight and promoted with vigour.
