SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We are not Orangemen, nor ever have been. That is a bad state of political society wherein bodies of men confederate even for purposes of mutual defence ; and still more for purposes offensive as well as defensive ; because it makes manifest the incapacity of the law to fulfil its proper functions, and discloses a state in which brute force domineers over constituted authority. The war carried on by the Irish Papists against the Pro testant troops in the time of Charles 1., and subse quently of Cromwell, had for its two-fold object the re-establishment of Popery, and the overthrow of Bri tish power. The war of the Irish Papists against King William, which was waged under the guise of loyalty to a distressed and rightful Sovereign, aimed essentially at no other ends than the subversion of British sway, and the substitution of the mass, with all its evil accessories, for the Reformed Church. The triumph of King William, whatever may be said to the contrary by trimming Statesmen, was a repetition of the conquest effected by Cromwell forty years before ; and the legislation for Ireland during the reigns of Anne and George I. was in the same spirit as the wars of William—it had in view the double security of the British Crown and of the Pro testant religion, then regarded as its most solid bul wark, crushing all resistance from rebels instigated by priests. The relaxation of the Popery laws was an attempt to conciliate those whose armed resistance had been defeated. But the relaxation was too gradual to satisfy the impatience of the Roman Catholics. The Catholics accepted the invitation of. the Republicans who were conspiring against England under the auspices of the French revolution. The confederates took the name of United Irishmen. The secret passion of the Papists was the downfall of the Protestant Church. The avowed object of both was the breaking-up of British supremacy. The united Irish league engen dered that of the Orangemen, which revived the spirit of the old penal laws, when their letter had been parti ally effaced. Thus the Orange Association was at its outset an institution absolutely for self-defence--that is, in defence of the Imperial Crown of England, of the Protestant worship, and of property, as settled at the Revolution, against an enemy who would have de stroyed them all. The overthrow of the rebellion of 1798 was intrinsically the triumph of the same cause, which, prospering under Cromwell, and under William in the field, had been upheld by the stern and unskilful legislation of the -next half century. But the conquest of 1798 was followed neither by confiscations, butcheries, wholesale banishments, nor penal laws. The attempt, however, to conciliate by further relaxa tions of that code, was replaced by an attempt to in corporate through an Act of Union. But powers and principles remained in full activity which were not recognized on the face of the statute-book, and against which Parliament vainly strove to contend. The ancient antageMists which had met upon the Boyne above a century before, have still, from 1798 to this hour, been struggling with reciprocal and deadly animosity. The Orange or British principle, however discountenanced and condemned by the Legis lature, has maintained its front against the principle which first appeared under the colour of indefinite agi tation, but has latterly thrown off the mask, and declared itself for open separation from the British mo narchy. it is but another Battle of the Boyne, and O'Connell is the caricature likeness of the last of the Stuarts. Dreadful, indeed, would be the responsibility of that English statesman who permitted such a con flict to be settled, like its predecessors, by thesword. England is now strong ..enough to enforce and perpe tuate her often-rehearsed conquest by other means than violence. She may, by the same instrument of just acid humane law, succeed in tempering the zeal of her impetuous adherents, and in subduing the ferocious hatred of her own traditional hatred and theirs. With- out yielding one particle of real dominion, without enfeebling in the very slightest degree the moral and intellectual (that is, the only real) ascendency of the Protestant Church, we do believe, that by blending resolution and wisdom, a system of measures may he completed, whereby the Popish population of Ireland may have its attention withdrawn from those features in the Protestant establishment which it now regards with dislike, through which the relations of the Popish priesthood towards the State. may be pervaded by a sense of - gratitude on one side, and on the other by a well-founded confidence---Ahrough which, lastly, the destitute and suffering poor may have employment found for their industry, or relief administered to their wants, both resting on the authority and security of acts of Parliament ; thus improving the relative pos ture of landlord and occupant of the soil, by making it the interest of each to stand by the other, and raising by a gradual but irresistible process their standard of civilization among a brutalized and degraded people. We will confess that it was no part of our intention to have dipped as we have done into the general state of Ireland, either with reference to her history or her social condition at thiS moment ; our notice was drawn by the conversations of Wednesday evening - in the - House of Commons to the character of the Orange Socie ties, .and to the treatment which they have a right to look for from the advisers of the Crowo. Without so much as insinuating that the King ought to encou rage by any formal or implied acknowledgment, the creation of societies of an illegal nature, we think that too much consideration cannot be given to the rational and constitutional language of Sir Robert Peel, who declared that the mere reception of a peti tion from persons designating themselves by a collec iite name unknown to the law, was not a recognition by the Sovereign authority of the lawfulness of such all association, and at the same time that it would be an extreme hardship - if his Majesty or his Ministers were to reject a petition on the spot, through any un proved assumption that it came from, an unlawful body ; whereas the doors to petitioning ought to be widened, instead of narrowed, on behalf of his Ma; jesty§ subjects, and petitions received as from the parties•siffning them, although not from the bodies on whose behalf they were ostensibly presented. Mr. Shaw, the Recorder of Dublin, showed satisfactorily that the Orange societies had never been delared ille gal by the Judges, which fact was admitted by Coun sellor O'Connell, who in continuing the subject floun dered on with one misrepresentation upon another re specting the Orangemen of Ireland, as was well de monstrated in the - Standard of last night.—Times. The Whig-Radical Opposition discovered a mare's nest on Wednesday evening, and bitter was the grief Of its Members when they were made acquainted with the worthlessness of their prize. They imagined, for sooth, that his Majesty was not at liberty to receive dutiful and loyal addresses, breathing the very spirit of devotion to the Crown, and attachment to the best in, stitutions of the country, because they were signed by a body of men whose fidelity and honesty have been tried and approved in the worst and most perilous times. What a miserable failure it was on the part of the medley. Even Lord John Russell was ashamed of his crew, and left the whole battle, as far as the English squadron of the fleet was concerned, to be fought by a Mr. Stanley, who filled (?) the office of Under-Se cretary of State in the late Ministry, and Mr. Joseph Hume, whose m e l anc h o ly f a t e , it is never to rise and address the House without being contradicted, nay, unanswerably contradicted, in some fact on which the whole connection of his argument (if argument we may venture to call it) depends. True it is that the eloquent Finn was not silent. Undoubtedly the highly-gifted Ro nayne struggled for a hearing ; nay, Darnel O'Con nell himself, in the teeth of the petition presented against his return, encouraged his followers (we crave pardon, his tail) with the sound of his sweet voice, but all would not do—the babbling was all in vain. Sir Robert Peel, Sir Henry Hardinge, and Mr. Se cretary Goulburn placed the question on its right and satisfactory footing, demonstrating beyond the possi bility of a doubt to the minds all reasonable beings, that the conduct adopted by his Majesty's Govern ment on the occasion in question was strictly in ac cordance with the principles and practice recognized by - T all:parties under similar circumstances. We rejoiced, .narOoVei, to observe the careful and marked manner in Which Lord Howick, a young Nobleman, from whom, however We-,may differ on political - topics, we cannot withhold the praise of public consistency and private worth—studiously separated himself from the faction which would gladly receive and enthral him. His Tipeeth, however we may differ from portions of it, was honourable to his head and heart. It did not, how ever, end here. The Opposition was not let down so easily Sir Robert Bateson and Mr. Shaw, neither of whom is or was connected with Orange societies, shrunk not from boldly Avowing their opinions of those Institutions, while the speech of Colonel Conolly (we take the report from an Opposition contemporary) commanded attention from a House weary of the topic, by the vigour, manliness, and truth, which were its chief characteristics. Daniel O'Connell made, by the way, two very unfortunate hits, namely, the re lationship borne by Mr. Robinson to Lord Farn ham, and the appointment of Mr. Plunkett (not one of the Hannibals, or it would not have been men tioned during the temporary alliance, but a scholar and a Gentleman), the former not existing, and the latter having never taken place. But so it is, both with Daniel and his friend Joseph. They ought to re member that they have men of business and talent now to deal with—Peels and Harding's, not Althorps and Littletons. Blunderers againSt blunderers were more evenly matched. It was a toss up which won. The case is now materially altered. What will be the next topic ? What new, unimportant, and trivial ques tion will the Opposition frame or invent to amuse the public mind or waste the public time ? We think it must be a game of which Messrs. RusSell, O'Connell, and Co. cannot but be nearly tired. We have indeed no objection to iheir persevering in the amusement, for it tends to weaken them (if that, indeed, is now neces sary) and to strengthen the Conservatives in every ro;- sible and imaginable way. One thing is to us perfectly clear ; the dominion of faction, always followed if suc cessful by the reign of terror, is drawing to a rapid and disgraceful end, overthrown by the good sense of the people of England, rallying round one of the best and most patriotic. Sovereigns who has at any time swayed the British sceptre.—Morning Post. The. Globe. says, Rumours of the . Duke of Wel lington's resignation have reached us 'from credible sources. It is also reported that the Duke of Rich mond and Lord Stanley have joined the Ministry. The rumour adds, that the Earl of Aberdeen goes to the Foreign-office, and Lord Stanley to his old post, the Colonial Department." For our part, we can neither confirm nor contradict these rumours. We are inclined, however, to believe that the rumours would not have been so pertinaciously repeated, were all right at head quarters. Perhaps the hitch with respect to the appointment- ~ the Marquis of Londonderry may be - connected with the retirement of the Duke of Wellington... Though the appointment might appear " too bad " to the Premier, yet there may be reasons why his 'Grace should be inclined to insist on its taking place. It will be remembered that several years ago the Duke, who, as a poli tician, was then rather at a discount, set out on a sort of tour in quest of popularity to the North of England, and the Marquis of Londonderry drew to gether a great assemblage of Tories to pay du." honour to the Great Captain of the Age. We have never heard his Grace accused of the weakness of sacrificing himself for his friends, but it is possible that he may have felt somewhat mortified that. Sir Robert should have shrunk from the unpopularity of this appoint ment. The Duke of Wellington has been so mixed up with the factious opposition to the Ministry of Earl Grey, that we think it quite impossible Lord Stanley and the Duke of Richmond could sit in the same Cabinet with him. Sir Robert Peel certainly acted with more caution during the pe riod of the Whig-Ministries. This, no doubt, may have proceeded from a consideration of the inuti lity of encountering odium by opposing, to no purpose in the House of Commons, what could be opposed -with effect in the House of Lords. After all, whether the Duke retire, or remain in the Minis try, matters must soon come to a crisis. The moment the plans of Ministers are brought forward, either the Reformers or the Tories will be refractory. We hold it to be quite impossible that the Tories and Refor mers can be satisfied by the same measures, and we _believe that this opinion is almost universally enter tained. Whatever may be the specious pretexts of Sir Robert Peel, nothinc , is more certain than that the Tories seek power, with the.sole,yiew of preserving the abuses Which'are profitable to them. We do not mean to say that they may not consent to certain im provements which benefit the people without dimi nishing the profits of the privileged orders ; but to all demands for reform 'in Church and State deserving of the name, they will assuredly turn a deaf ear.— Morning Chronicle. SHERIFF'S COURT. WILLIAMS V. YEATMAN. The question in this case was whether the defendant, a li censed victualler in Oxford-street, was liable in an action to recover 41. ss. 2d., for work and labour performed by the plaintiff's wife for the wife of the defendant. Mr. Keale served a writ for 51. upon the defendant at his house, who merely expressed his surprise at the sum, as the demand he knew was only 41. and some shillings It was also proved that the defendant and his wife afterwards called at the attorney's office, and there admitted the claim, but said he also had a demand upon the plaintiff above the sum claimed. The defendant had joined issue upon that point, and his Coun sel, Mr. Ross, called several witnesses, to show that the defen dant's wife had furnished bonnets, cloth, flannel, and other ar ticles, and also had paid her fifteen shillings, which she wished to borrow ; that she had admitted the debt, and said that when her husband got employed, it should be discharged. The Jury, after consulting some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 41. ss. 2d. SPRING ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.-HMRTFORD, MARCH 3 The Commission opened here yesterday, and business com menced this morning. Lord Denman sat on the Civil side, and Mr. Justice Gaselee in the Crown Court. There are the names of thirty-nine prisoners in the calendar, the majority of whom are charged with stealing. There are two cases of arson and two of manslaughter, and one of an attack on the Countess of Bridgewater's gamekeeper, at Berkhampstead. Elizabeth Day was indicted for taking from the person of Peter Flitton a ,purse, containing two 5/. notes and two sove reigns. Flitton was at Royston fair on the 15th of October last, and the prisoner, with another woman, came up to him, and asked him to treat them with gin, and suddenly they seized hold of his arm, and .snatched his purse. He pushed them into an adjoining public-house, and stood at the door to watch them. The other woman got out of the window, but the pri soner was detained and given into custody. The Jury found her Guilty, and the Learned Judge trans ported her for 14 years, saying it was the kindest thine' ' he could do for her to prevent her coming to an ultimely end. The Nisi Prius Court has been occupied the greater part cf the day in a trial respecting a right of way. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Noßrir4mprox, IlL4Rcil 3. The Commission was opened here yesterday afternoon, and• the business of the assizes commenced this morning. There are 25 prisoners' names in the calendar, but the charges against them are of an ordinary description. In the cause paper there are twelve cases entertd for trial, of which three are special Jury cases. The only one of these tried to-day worth notice was— PACK, Qin TAM V. TARPLEY, CLERK. This was an action to recover a penalty against the defend ant for acting as a Magistrate without being possessed of the requisite property to the amount of 100/. per annum. The defendant's living was worth 3501. per annum exclusive of the value of his house, which was worth 100/. a year more ; but the living was sequestered to pay a debt of 2,700/. It was contended lon the part of the plaintiff that this sum was to be deducted from the value of the living, and that therefore the defendant was not worth 100/. a year. On the other side it was insisted that the amount of the debt was not to be de ducted ; and that even if it were the property would still be of more than the requisite value. Ultimately it was agreed to turn the facts into a special case, for the opinion of the Court above. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— WiNcnEsneß, MARCH 4. The calendar contains fifty-four names, of which three are for murder, two for arson, and four for unnatural offences. George Knowlton was charged with having feloniously set fire to a barn, a cowshed, and other buildings, the property of Edward Buckley, Esq., on the 2d of. January last, at Minesteed. Edward Buckley, the prosecutor, deposed that the prisoner had been in his employ some time before the 2d of January, the day on which the premises in question were burned. Saw the fire about eleven o'clock at night. On that morning the prisoner had been before the vestry, seeking for relief or em ployment, and witness mentioned that he had offered employ ment to him, on very good terms, which he refused to take, in consequence of which the vestry refused him relief. They had no means of employing him. Joseph Short, a constable, had the prisoner given into his charge on Monday, the 3d of January ; kept him in his house until the Saturday following, when the prisoner desired him to take down what he had to say in writing. Witness cautioned him, and took down his statement ; after which he read it over in presence of three others. The prisoner stated that Thomas Thomas had met him that evening, and desired him to fetch matches and a tinder-box, and that he would set the premises on fire. The prisoner accordingly procured those things, and Thomas set the cow-shed on tire, and they both ran away. That he returned some time after, when the fire was out. That Mr. Buckley had passed him with a -liglited lantern in his hand, which he held up to his face. The prisoner thought then he was undone, for if Mr. Buckley had searched him he would have found the tinder-box on him. The prosecutor volunteered to give the prisoner a good cha. racter. Verdict—Guilty. Mr. Baron GVRNEY, after a suitable and impressive address, passed the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner, holding out to him no hopes of mitigation. CIVIL COURT. MORTON V. WATSON. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage, to which the defendant pleaded that as they went to church to be married the plaintiff refused to marry him, and released him from his obligation, upon which issue wat joined. The plaintiff was a dress-maker, residing in her father's house in Gosport, the defendant was an attorney's clerk, each of them are about thirty years of age. They became acquainted with each other about the middle of July, 1832 ; in a few days after wards the defendant became quite smitten with the plaintiff, he wrote a letter to her on the 23d of July, expressing a hope that she would grant his request within the two following days. Ho wrote two other letters, couched in the most amorous terms. On the 26th of July, he wrote a letter to her sister, whom he had never seen, and addressed'her, " My dear sister," requesting her to assist at their marriage the 'following day, and ending with these words :—" You will find me a true bro ther, though in law." On the 27th of July they went to church to be married, where the attorney in whose office he w2.s serving, and who was his guardian, interposed, and the mar riage was prevented ; still he went home with her in a coach, expressed his regret that the marriage had not taken place, and subsequently wrote a letter to her, expressing a hope that they would be married before long. On the 2d of September following, she sent her attorney to know if he would marry her, when he absolutely refused. These were the facts of the case. The Rev. Henry Beck on the 26th of. July gave the de fendant a license to marry the plaintiff. She came to the church at eight o'clock the following morning, accompanied by her brother. The defendant was waitinr , for her. Mr. Minchin, the defendant's guardian, was there, who repre. sented to her the folly of marrying him, when he had not the means of supporting a wife. y Witness also told her it was better for her to give it up, and it was his impression both from her conduct and from what she said that she would think no more of it. She then left the vestry. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one shilling. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DURIbIat, MARC,! 2. The Northern Circuit commenced at .this place on Saturday. Mr. Baron ALDERSON opened the commission about six o'clock in the evening. Both the Learned Barons attended divine service yesterday morning in the cathedral. This morning business commenced. Mr. Baron PARRS presides in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron ALDERSON on the Civil side. - The calendar presents 28 cases, two of which are for man slaughter, hut none of those offences to which the last penalty of the law is awarded appear among them. The cause list also presents 28 cases for trial, but none of them appear to be of great public interest. Several cases were disposed of in each Court in the course of the day. . CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Joan Wood, aged 22, was indicted for stealing a wooden image from the shop door of Anne Stevens, tobacconist, carry ing on business at 22, Prince's Street, Soho. The prisoner was apprehended by a policeman with the image in his possession. Guilty. Thomas Smith and William'Crooh were indicted for stealing a sack, value 55., and 168 bushels, value 121. 155., the pro perty of John Nicholas Jardin. Crook pleaded guilty. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that the prisoner Smith called upon the prosecutor, who is a basket manufacturer residing in Leather-lane, and represented him self as a general dealer, carrying on business at No. 15, Minerva-street, Hackney, and asked if he could supply him with fourteen dozen of baskets to complete an order which he had received from the country. Jardin agreed to supply him with the baskets, and sent them by his foreman and a porter to the prisoner's house. Smith was standing at the door, and asked the foreman if he had change of a 201. note, and on his replying in the negative, Smith sent Crook to get change, and the foreman accompanied him ; they went to several public houses, and Crook at length contrived to slip away from the foreman. In the mean time, Smith gave the porter 2d. to drink, and when the foreman returned Smith and the goods had disappeared. The house in Minerva-street bad been only taken that morning by the prisoners, and they had brought in a tea chest full of bricks, for the purpose of making the people of the house believe that they were getting in goods. Smith was apprehended immediately afterwards with a sack contain ing the property on his back. Smith got a very good character.—Guilty. The Ricoauaa said au example should be made of the pri soners in order to protect the public from such infamous frauds. As the present was Smith's first offence, and as he had got a good character, his sentence should be only twelve month's imprisonment and hard labour. With respect to Crook, he had been twice before the Court upon charges of felony, and his sentence should be transportation for seven years. On the sentence being pronounced, Smith pleaded hard to be transported. The Riscortneft said Isis request could not be cornpliedswith. An erroneous impression had gone abroad, that persons who were transported could indulge themselves in their idle and vicious propensities ; but it appeared by the Act 2d and 3d William IV., chap. 62, that every person transported for seven years, must be kept to hard labour for at least four years— those transported for fourteen years must be kept to hard labour for the term of six years—and those transported for life, must be kept to hai d labour for eight years before the Governor of the colony could grant the con vict any ticket of leave or other indulgence. This could not be too generally known, and he thought it would be advisable to have a copy of the section posted up in the gaol. George Clements, a respectable looking man, a;ed 30, was indicted for stealing a tobacco-box, value one penny, from the person of Edward Sweeny. The prosecutor, an Irishman, deposed that he is a labodrer,, residing at East Ham, Essex, and was returning in a state of intoxication from the Borough on the night of the 18th of February, when he fell opposite the Mile-end station-house. The prisoner, who was on duty at the time, came 'up to him and put his hand into his pocket, and took out his tobacco box. Prosecutor accused him of stealing his box, and two persons coming up, prosecutor was taken by the prisoner to the station-house. The charge was there repeated by Sweeny to the inspector. Prisoner dnied that he had taken it, but on being searched the box was found in his great coat pocket. When taken before the Magistrates the prisoner said he bad picked it up from the ground. Samuel Hone, inspector of the R division, and policeman K 241, by whom the prisoner had been searched, c orroborated this evidence. The prisoner in his defence said he had picked up the box from the ground, and his only motive in denying that he had taken it was because he was indignant at the charge of having picked the prosecutor's pocket. The prisoner got an excellent character from several very respectable gentlemen ; and the inspector /lane, said his con duct had been most exemplary for the two years and a half he had been in the police. The Jury, after deliberating for about ten minutes, found that the prisoner was " Not Guilty of intent to steal the box, but that he had acted with great indiscretion in not giving it up when called upon." Mr. C. PHILLIPi, who conducted the prisoner's defence, said the verdict was a. ve'ry humane one, and the p:isoner should feel much indebted to them. The RECORDER said the conduct of the inspector 'lane in following up the inquiry, and ordering the prisoner to be searched, was very creditable to him, as it would show the public that the officers of the police made' tie distinction be tween the men under their charge and the public generally. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1835, NEW COURT. James Butcher was indicted for feloniously stealing two waistcoats, of the value of sixteen shillings, the proper of Mr. Elias Moses. The trial excited groat interest. The Court was crowded to excess. Mr. Elks Moses sworn—Examined by M. POANE—Carried on business with his father as a slopseller. Knew the prisoner for some time as a customer. Till lately did not doubt his respectability ; his suspicions, however, were lately excited. Recollects the prisoner coming about six o'clock in the even ing of the 2d of March to the witness's house. He came for a waistcoat which was ordered on the Friday. Said he wanted some velveteen jackets. He selected three. He asked to look at some sprig waistcoats. Showed him some, of which he selected one, He made a remark—he said he would take the goods with him. That was while I was putting them under the counter. I put them on the counter in conse quence of his saying so. There was a waistcoat Mr. Butcher saw ; he said it was a very nice one, and selected it. I went to the glass-case at the end of the room, and turning round, saw prisoner moving, and be looked much confused. The waistcoat he selected was put to the bundle which he was to have. He looked at some hats, and did not approve of them. I was agitated from my suspicion of him. The goods were then brought down in consequence of prisoner saying he would take them with him. Mr. Cox entered them in the book. I took an opportunity of saying something to the clerk about it, and prisoner then looked at me very hard, and appeared much agitated. In consequence of what J had said to Mr. Cox he went after the prisoner, who had gone out. They returned in two or three minutes, and Mr. Cox said " I have found this waistcoat on him." Prisoner said " Good God," and we all three went to the counting house. I asked prisoner if he had any more waistcoats ? He said " No, I have not." He said in answer to my question that I might feel. I put my hand in his coat pocket and drew out another waistcoat. He had asked for light waistcoats, and this was a dark waistcoat. I am quite sure I never selected this. He must have taken this off a shelf where he stood. He then said, " Oh, Moses, pray don't go into the case," or something to that effect. He said he would pay me if I would forego any inquiry, or something like that. A police man was then sent for, and on his arrival I found prisoner had left the premises. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—My deposition was taken before the magistrate. I don't know whether I said to the Lord Mayor that the prisoner requested me to give him an interview in private. I don't know that I said one word before the magistrates of, " Oh, Moses, do not go into the case." I don't think there was any occasion to do that. I don't think I told the magistrate that I said, " Good God, Butcher, I should never have thought it." I saw the waistcoat a little out of his pocket. I saw the black arid white linings. I don't know whether I said anything about that before the magis trate. It's only two days ago, but I don't femember whether I said so. I never have told anybody that if I had the 4001. I should not prosecute. I never saw a woman relative to this case. Oh, yes, I did. I had no conversation with her about money. I went into a private room with her. Such a sum as 4001. was never mentioned by me. Mr. Butcher is a man of very large property. He has dealt with me about three years. I gave him credit. The constable proved the apprehension of the prisoner, who had been drinking. In defence the prisoner, who had been much affected during the trial, declared that he had been drinking on the occasion alluded to. We understood him to add that he had no felo nious design, but he spoke in so low a tone as to be nearly inaudible. Between twenty and thirty witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner the highest character for years. The Common Sergeant summed up at great length. After a quarter of an hour's deliberation the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. Mr. Doane concurred in the recommendation to th'e Jury. His client had no vindictive motive in the prosecution. He had a public duty to perform. The task was now finished, and a more disagreeable one never could have devolved upon a man. The trial occupied four hours, and the decision created con siderable consternation. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. APPEALS.-SANSUEL WELCH, APPELLANT, T. HALLS, ESI., RESPONDENT. Mr. BODKIN, for the rzspondent, said this was an appeal against a conviction under the General Turnpike Act, and in volved a question which had come before the Court on a former occasion, when Mr. Halls was at issue with the Court. The appellant's cart passed the toll-gate at Clapton in the morning loaded with hay, the produce of his own land, which was therefore exempt from toll, but on returning from town it was leaded with manure, which he contended was liable to toll under the 32c clause of 3d George 1 V., cap. 126. Mr. CLARKSON, for the appellant, who is a farmer at Walt hamstow, argued that if a man sent two carts out, one empty and the other loaded, and the loaded one returned empty and the empty one loaded, both would be free from toll under the Act ; that was admitted, and he therefore could not think how the cart in question could be made liable. Such a construc tion of the law might be very acceptable to the rich farmer, who could afford to keep . half-a- dozeji_carts, but very unjust to the poor man who had but one. The . clause under which the fine had been inflicted ought to be more liberally construed. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS was of opinion that both the hay and the manure in this case ought to have been exempt It was absurd to claim it because one cart had carried both articles in one day. The CHAIRMAN— Has this question been mooted in any other county ? I wish you would take it into Surrey. Mr. M'WILLIAM said, in justice to the contracter for the roads, he should vote in favour of the conviction. . The votes of the Magistrates were then taken, when there appeared three for confirming, and two for quashing the con viction. RAPHAEL, APPELLANT---HALLS, RESPONDENT. This was an appeal by Lewis Raphael, Esq., brother of the present Sheriff, against a conviction of Mr. Halls, in a case precisely the same as the last, and the learned Counsel on both sides agreed to leave the question to the Court, with out futther-argument. The CHAIRMAN having sent for several Magistrates from the Committee- room, explained to them the merits of the case. Mr. LAURIE thought the Court should construe the Act most liberally for the benefit of agriculturists. Mr. M'W!LLIAM said it was a most extraordinary course for .the to discuss the question, after having once de cided upon it. The Court then divided, when there appeared nine magis trates for quashing, and three for confirming the conviction. Mr. 'Welch said he thought himself hardly dealt with. He was a poor man, and the penalty and expenses which he had to pay would defray the toll for twenty years. The CHAIRMAN regretted that he could not assist him. Mr. BODKIN said the object of his client was to try the question. Half the penalty and costs would be remitted. The COURT—Where does the other half go? Mr. Levy (contractor for the roadi)—To the Bow-street Fund. GEORGE AND EDWARD WALMSLEY V: G. MINSHULL, EISQ, OF BOW-STREET. This was an appeal againsiaConviction under the Pawn brokers' Act, for refusing to allow Major Wardle Brown to inspect the entry of a sale of a gold watch. The appellants took the watch in pledge on the 9th of AugUst, 1833, and when called upon in February last by Mr. Brown, they stated that it was sold, and though the law requires pawnbrokers to keep a book of sale for the inspection of the persons interested, they refused to give any account of the watch. Mr. CLaimsoN, for the appellants, objected that it ought to be proved that his clients were in partnership at the time. Mr. Apoultra, for the respondents, was not in a condition to do so. The COURT therefore quashed the conviction. Mr. ADOLPHUS advised his client to begin' again de novo. It was very easy to let a partner slip in or out according to cir cumstances. He knew something of the tricks of pawn brok( rs ; one of the fraternity once told him, that by over charging a farthing in a pledge he made soot. a-year. The COURT adjourned, after disposing of sonic other appeals. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. James Smith, a carpenter in the employment of Mr. Emery, a builder in the Vauxhall-road, was charged before Messrs. GHEGOEIE and WHITE by Thomas Halfpenny, also a carpen ter in the same employment, with assaulting him. An immense deal of discord has existed ever since the for mation of the Trades' Unions between - the men employed in the different factories in the neighbourhood, some shops having joined the Union, others adopting a different system, and the present case was one out of a number of similar instances that have lately come before the Magistrates at this office. Halfpenny had worked for Mr. Emery for some years, but during the progress of the Union he had been employed - by Mr. Barron, of St. Martin's-lane, whose men being anti- Uilionists, he had signed " the document." Subsequently he had . returned to Mr. Emery's employment, and ever since had fed the most wretched life possible, annoyed in his business in every way; and insulted in the grossest manner, by his .fel loW-workmen, the whole of whom were Unionists, because he had signed the document, lie was, however, determined to resist such an e ncroachment upon his rights as long as he could. On Monday last he went into the George the Fourth, in the Vauxhall• road, where the defendant was sitting, who immediately knocked him down, struck him repeatedly, and threw a chair at his head. He was at last compelled to fight with the defendant in his own defence. Smith; in answer to the charge, told a very different story. He stated that the complainant had been taunting him at every oppoitunity with belonging to the Union, and as he well knew that he (the defendant) had asserted that he would never drink with a document man, he had intruded himself into the parlour of the George the Fourth; and seized the pot from which he was drinking. Several witnesses corroborated this statement, and as it was evident that the defendant had given the first offence the War rant was discharged. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

DOWNE'S WHARF, MARCH 4..--No arrivals. Sailed, at half. past one, P.M., the Dundee, Perth, and' London Shipping Company's splendid and powerful steam-ship Dundee, John Wishart, her respected commander, for Dundee, with pas sengers, and an extensive and valuable cargo of merchandise. The departure of this beautiful vessel continues to attract the attention of many spectators.

The damag.e was proportionably exten sive, and we regret to add that some lives fell a sacrifice to the destructive element, and that several 'Persons have been seri - ously injured. Soon after nine o'clock on Monday morning, a stack of chimneys on the house of Mr. Shuttleworth, joiner, 13tsinghall street, were blown down through the roof with considerable violence. Fo r t unate l y , none o f t h e f am il y were injured,. but one of Mr. Shuttleworth's daughters had a narrow escape, as she had only just finished making a coal fire in one of the upper rooms, when the roofs came tumbling in. —S/10. field Iris. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARCH 3.—THE NisTay.---General Sebastiani arrived to-day (Monday) at noon in Paris. He immediately proceeded to the Palace, where he remained an hour with the King. The General does not intend to make a I,lng stay in Paris ; he thinks of returning to London in two or three days. Marshal Soult is expected in Paris to-morrow. —Jour nal des Debats. To-day Marshal Soult refuses, and M. Sebastiani is re fused ; and M. de Broglie has set out for his estates. MM. Thiers and Guizot persist. M. Dupin remains alone ; and this evening it appeared almost decided that Royalty should submit to the jouy ultra bourgeois of M. Dupin. These are the terms used in a high quarter, to characterize this painful necessity.—Natitmal. The presence of General Sebastiani at Paris has not caused the Ministerial crisis, which is the subject of universal atten tion, to advance a step. He has hastened to Paris in obedi ence to the King's orders, but his friends affirm that he in tends to return very shortly to London. It is, affirmed that, on taking leave of the Duke of Wellington, be positively de clared that he should be back in a few days.--Moniteur du Commerce. The Impartial says that when General Sebastiani left the Palace he appeared to be thoughtful, and greatly fatigued, and thttt it was reported, on returning to his hotel, that he was obliged to go to bed, and that leeches were judged necessary. The General's health, says the Impartial, which was already much shattered, and for which the climate of Naples would have been very beneficial, has been still further impaired by these diplomatic agitations, and it seems to be time for him to repose. Zeal in the public service cannot supply the place of health. The Gazette de France contains the following article : " The raising of the blockade of the ports of Spain by English vessels—(par lee vaisseaux Anglais—Qy. pour for, or in the case of English vessels)—is officially announced. " It likewise seems certain that the English Ambassador at Madrid has made remonstrances on account of the capture of the Isabella." The Gazette ought to inform us what official paper has an nounced the raising of the blockade.—Messager, March 3. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

The annual steeple chace (being the fifth) took place yes terday, and, as usual, attracted a very numerous company to the town. The arrangement of it was left solely to Mr. Cole man, who is doubly qualified for an office of 'this kind, by his thorough knowledge of the country and gene, al experience on the turf and in the field. Head- quarters were held at the Turf Tavern, where several of the horses engaged in the race were staying. Here all parties assembled at two o'clock, pre vious to the ground being declared to them, before describing which, or entering into other particulars, it may not be out of place to mention such of the horses as have made themselves favourites with the public bv their performances on similar oc casions. The Poet established his reputation as a' formidable nag over a light galloping country by winning the sweepstakes last year in a canter : he was also in the recent affair at Ailes bury, and was first into the river, which effectually stopped so many others besides himself. Laurestina ran second in the last-mentioned race, and, like The Poet, is thorough-bred. Grimaldi rendered himself famous by running a good second . to Moonraker three or four years back, and beating him in the following week at Harrow in a canter ; he has done nothing since then to support his character, but was backed yesterday in consequence of the manifest improvement in his . condition. Norna, also thoroughbred, was fancied chiefly through the ce lebrity of her jockey, who is accredited as the boldest and most judicious steeple chace rider of the day. Caliph travelled from RosS, where he ran a good race with Redman (half brother of Vivian) about a fortnight ago ; his party seemed to think that the longer the four miles were made the better . wriirld be his chance. Parasol, thoroughbred, was " nowhere" at Waltham Abbey, but won the sweepstakes at Epping last week in a hand canter. Cumberton, Bittern (thorough-bred), Captain Bob (through-bred), Shamrock, &c., were "dark," and neither of them backed except Cumberton, whose appearance gave pro mise of all the 'capabilities essential to a steeplechaser of the first class. A little betting took place at 4to 1 against The Poet, 5 to 1 against Norna (taken), 6 to 1 against Cumberton, sto 1 against Grimaldi, and Bto 1 against Laurestina. The following were the conditions of the race, and the horses and riders that showed at the post : A Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, free for any harse carrying 12st., four miles across a line of country marked with flags. No person to ride more than 100 yards on any road or lane. The starting place to be named at the time of weighing. The winner to be sold for 300, &c. (12 subs. ) Mr. Baring's Caliph rode by Mr. R. Christian Mr. P. Firth's Laurestina Mr. Anderson's The Poet Mr. G. Rice Mr. Weston's The Flyer Owner Mr.. Parker's Cumberton Mr. R. Bevan's Captain Bob Mr. Elmore's Grimaldi Mr. W. Bean Captain Fairlie's Norm , Captain Becher Captain Williamson's Bittern Mr. A. Dyson Mr. Seffert's Parasol Owner Mr. T. Theobald's Shamrock The line of country selected commenced near the bridge on Colney Heath, the distance to the brook which divided it from the small inclosures being about half a mile ; it then proceeded through small inclosures with heavy fencing, con tinuing along a valley for a mile and a half, and leaving Mr. Knight's farm to the left, more than half the distance being chosen on land belonging to this gentleman. After this fol lowed wheat, grass, and ploughed land, Cell Barnes ( Mr. Bonn's farm) being to the left, and Cunningham Hill farm to the right ; leaving this it passed through two or three fields on Mr. Gough's farm, and finished in a meadow belonging to Mr. Kinder. The ground was sufficiently undulated to give variety to the race, and severely try 'the stamina of the horses engaged in it ; the fencing too was exceed ingly stiff, especially at the beginning. Two of them were very awkward : one about five fields from home, leading from a short and somewhat abrupt flat into a dippin g field ; the other was 4.f a precisely similar character, and sepa rated the two last fields, and yet it is not a little surpris ing that none of the horses fell at them. The finish was ad mirably selected, the last field being down hill and the win ning one on the rise, and within 150 yards of the turnpike -road. We may add that the ground presented none of those facilities for mere gallopers which were complained of last year. The horses assembled at the post about four o'clock, and started at the usual signal. Parasol jumped off at a slap ping pace, followed by Grimaldi and Cumberton, behind these being Norna, Laurestina, and two or three others. They continued in this position to a lane, about a mile and a half from the start, into which Grimaldi fell, and ricked himself so seriously that Mr. Bean prudently gave up further struggle. Previous to this The Poet, in going at a fence,' bid staked himself so dreadfully that his entrails hung on the ground, and when we left we understood that he was dead. Parasol . continued in the front of the race, the Flyer with her, and alternating the lead with her as they took the different fen ces; Cumberton was still forward, and Noma and Laurestina in good places. About a mile and a half from home Parasol refused a fence, Cumberton being thereby enabled to take up the running for a few fields, the Flyer still in front ; Cumberton soon tired, and Parasol again took up the work, the Flyer, Lau restina, and Norna all forward, behind them being Caliph and Captain Bob, but neither with any chance of. success. About five fields from home Norna fell at a jump and was passed by Laurestina, but she also fell at the next fence, and gave her rider such a regular purler, that he was at once put out of the race (the mare at the time being full of running). Norna speedily recovered her lost , ground,. went up and challenged Parasol, after taking the last fence but two, teat her by supe riority of pace in a few strides, and, won very cleverly by three or four lengths • the Flyer was third, Caliph anci'Laurestina next, then Cumberton and Captain Bob; and lastly Shamrock and Bittern ; the last six being beaten off a long way. Im mediately on the termination of the race a complaint was made that Captain Becher had gone on the wrong side of one of the flags. It was also stated that several others had fallen into the same error, and a vast deal of confusion arose in con sequence of the difficulty of substantiating the objection, inas - much that we found it no easy matter. to gather correct parti culars of the race. When we left the town the matter was still before the umpire, but on our journey home we were over taken•by a friend, who „informed us that the original decision had been confirmed. A DANGEROUS WOMAN.—MTS. Amory was pre cisely of that age, whatever that might be, when a woman is most to be feared by a full-grown man. Young women, and beautiful children of that age that all women wish to be, " Sweet sixteen," seldom or never succeed in snaring a full grown man ; or if they do, they arc never able to keep him. The proud, the wise, and the mature of the male sex are not much given (whatever the poets may say, and whatever the fair may suppose) to doating upon women while they doat upon green apples and confectionary, chalk or charcoal, or bread and-butter, and skip the rope, hour after hour : with what is called a sincere and innocent joy; they cannot abide the un fledged nestling—they seek a braver appetite, a heavier plumage and a louder note in the bird that is to sing them to sleep in the pride of their strength—birds that are met with only in the far-quiet and shadowy places of our earth, or along the sea-shore—the solitary spirits of the solitude.—Ame rican Novel. SWINDLING.--A man lately called at a public. house, in Chatterton-square, Temple Gate, Bristol, and en gaged a ready-furnished room ; in the course of the evening, he brought two large boxes, took tea, and afterwards drank a bottle of wine. The next morning, after having breakfast, he inquired if the banks were open, saying he had some money to receive there, and required 81. to pav some person on his way, offering to leave two gold watches as security. 'I he tale seemed so plausible, and the pledge of ample value, that the money was lent. The fellow."bf course, was not seen after wards, the boxes were found to contain stones only, and the watches worth not more than 30s.—Clieltenham Chronicle. WINDOW TAX. Last night a numerous and mt respectable meeting of Unitk d ntral Committee of Westminster, including lan, of the most respectable merchants and householders in t h e rough, took place in the British Hotel, Cockspur-street! to take into consideration what measures ought to be adolted. procure the repeal of the window tax, Sir Robert Peel Wig refused to give the late deputation any information as to course he meant to pu 'sue with reference to that tax; . . . . Mr. POL'NCEY in the Chair. The SECRETARY having read the minutes of last meeti n g' the CHAIRMAN stated what passed at the meeting of the dee titian to Sir Robert Peel. Mr. CROUCHER wished some of the g e ntlemen whof orilleci l the deputation, to mention the reasons which Sir Robert Pfi/b gave for not giving any information as to the cour se whic Government meant to pursue. ed Mr. WALKER said that Sir Robert Peel very politely b° cod the deputation into the room, and as politely out of it ; ) that was the sum of the information which he (Mr. Walker could give.—( A laugh.) Mr. CROCCHER could scarcely have credited that a - Priele eti Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer could ha ve the so ignorant on the subject of taxation, had he not he ard fact stated by gentlemen who were witnesses to it.• One of the Deputation thought that the ignorance cf Si i t Robert Peel was merely assumed, and that it was one of th°o re" instances of double dealing for which Sir Robert was s° nowned. Mr. CROCCHER then moved that the result of the i ctarlie ! with Sir Robert Peel was very unsatisfaclory to the Cart; mittee, and that the parishes of Westminster be requestec get up petitions urging the repeal of the window tax. ..41 The motion having been seconded, it was unanilc°"' agreed to. sea Mr. WALKER then moved that the inhabitants of cities all large towns and boroughs throughout the kingdom b e tb , quested to get up petitions to the Legislature, praying for repeal of this tax. Mr. EWING seconded the motion, which was also car ried unanimously. The meeting then separated. THE MARKETS.
