~1.. 10 (i' ... .•' - ..'' SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Some of the Radical Journals are taking great credit to themselves and to the Radical party for giving their utmost support to the present Administration, though not one. of the Members of their party has re ceived the slightest notice from the Whigs, save, per haps, Mr. Ward, to whom some small and uninfluen tial office was proffered, but which was declined by the Hon. Member. Such being the case, we are assured, nevertheless, that even those Radicals who may be the least pleased with the present Ministerial arrange ments, are yet resolved to suliport the present Govern ment, and it is added that their support will not be withdrawn from the Whigs, merely because the Whigs have not admitted them into a share of office. This conduct, we arc informed, arises from purely disin terested and patriotic motives, wholly unconnected with any wish or desire for place," the only source and ruling motive (it is said) of Tory conduct." We must confess, that we see no reason for agreeing in this opi nion, for may not the conduct of the Radical party thus eulogized be more fairly attributed to their being sufficiently well acquainted with their strength to knew that it is the only course by which they can expect to do anything ? Is it to be supposed that the Radical Members of the House of Commons have not discovered that—as a party—they have no power nor consistency We may safely say, whatever may be our opinion of their wisdom and discretion upon other points, that so insane an idea as ever succeeding to place has never yet flitted across the minds of even the most hairbrained of the body. With King, Lords, and Commons—and under this last term we include nine-tenths of the intelligence of the country—opposed to them, place cannot have been contemplated by them, not even as " potentia remotissima." Without, therefore, being very uncharitable, may we not with much greater show of reason trace their present con duct to a conviction on their part that, with a Whig Ministry, they can exercise some control over the des tinies of the country, while over Sir Robert Peel they know full well they have no influence ; while, in addi tion, the unprincipled agitator of Ireland, with whom the Right Hon. Baronet, in accordance with the deter mination of Lord Grey, would not condescend to com municate, sees now every hope of carrying his measures without even the responsibility of a Minister attaching, to him ; for, notwithstanding the unqualified dis claimer by Lord Melbourne of all connection, whether dire'ct or indirect, with that individual, it becomes too clear, on an examination of the Whig strength in the House, that they must rely for support on Radical assistance, or trust to the forbearance of Sir Robert Peel. That this is a state of things much to be la mented all must admit—unfortunately it is only too true. The difficulties of Lord Melbourne's situation we are full 3 prepared to admit ; but we must observe that unless he has some better grounds for hoping to be able to carry on the Government than we, after exa mining the state of parties with the most unprejudiced view, have been able to discover, nothing can justify his again giving consistency to the dispersed and broken fragments of the Whig party. That the country is in the mean time suffering great inconvenience, if not irretrievable injury, from the stagnation of all public business, and from the uncertainty which prevails both with respect to the stability and intentions of the Go vernment is, we regret to say, too ,clear to admit of a doubt. As we observed the other day, " the country is being crucified between the two parties."--Morning Herald. The accounts - from Devonshire continue to present the most gratifying prospects for the Conservative cause. It will be seen from the letter of our correspondent that the principal persons in the neighbourhood of Tavi stock have been strenuously exerting themselves in favour of Mr. Parker. Tavistock, as our readers know, is the family borough, to which Lord John Russell and his friends looked with the utmost con fidence, as a snug and secure retreat for his Lord-. thip in the event of his ejection from the county. It now seems probable that even Tavistock, notwith standing the disinterested skill with which his own im maculate Reform Bill was manufactured, to perpetuate in the family the power of absolute nomination in this bo rough, will have nothing to do with the Noble Lord. There is a contest now in progress in the neigh bourhood of Devonshire, which may be taken as an indication of the state of the public mind in that part of the kingdom. We allude to the election for the un'ted boroughs of Penryn and Falmouth, in which, at the close of the first day's poll, the Whig-Radical Solicitor-General was in the rear of his Conservative opponent, although the latter had been put in nomi nation, and his interests supported during the elec tion, without any interference whatever on his own part,' his presence at the scene even having been with held. Should the Penryn and Falmouth election ter minate, as seems very probable, in favour of Lord Tul lamore, it will,be a decided and unequivocal triumph, not to be explained as some of our liberal contempo raries are. preparing to explain it, by any characteristic difference between the electors of Penryn and those of Falmouth, but by the common feelings of both, in which it may fairly be presumed that their neigh bours generally participate. The sneer of our contem poraries against the humble potwallopers of Penryn is a curious example of the shifts to which they can resort, in order to cover the disgrace of a defeat. In Essex, as might have been expected, the triumph of the Conservative party is complete and decisive. At the conclusion of the first day's (yesterday's) poll, it will be seen from the statement of our correspondent, that Mr. Elves had outstripped his competitor at the rate of two to one. Mr. Poulett Thomson is in for Manchester, and Mr. Labouchere for Taunton. The electors of Canterbury have, it appears, foiled one ap pointment in the new Ministry, by signifying to Lord Albert Conytigham, in a manner which he could not misunderstand, that there would be little chance of his re-election for that cite.—Monzing Post. Public attention being at this moment turned with so much earnestness to the subject of the oath taken by Roman Catholics under the Bill of 1829, on their admission to sit in Pt,:liii:ll;t7, We have looked over some discussions relating to that oath, which arose out of a motion of Mr. O'Connell, on the 11th of March, 1834, of which the aim was to bring about, through the appointment and report of a Select Committee, an abolition of the aforesaid oath. Now, that oath, which pledges Roman Catholics against attempting anything to the injury of the rights, privileges, or property of the Church Establishment in either island, was framed expressly, and universally understood to be intended by the Legislature, as a security for the Church of Eng land and Ireland against an abuse of the powers con ferred upon Roman Catholics by the Act of Catholic emancipation. As the oath was to be taken by Roman Catholics exclusively, so must it have been designed to restrain the Catholics exclusively, and not Protestants, in th:! exercise of the new functions wherewith they were iovested by the Bill. It could not have been intended, because it was wholly unnecessary to get up the appa ret as of a solemn oath, as an instrument for deterring Roman Catholics from meddling by violent or unlawful means with the rights and property of the Church Es tablishment. The law was already strong enough to punish any such illegal—that is, criminal—attacks upon the Protestant Church. An oath, by which a man engaged himself not to violate the law which up held Church property, would.be as absurd as an oath against the perpetration of highway-robbery. The penal sanctions already existing are sufficient for the general prevention of such misdeeds. The oath, there fore, if to be regarded as a security, must contemplate a restraint upon Roman Catholics in the exercise of the legal powers conveyed to them by the Emancipa tion Bill, so as to guard against a perversion of those powers to the overthrow or injury of the Church Establishment. The object of the Legislature mani festly was not to prevent a usurpation of authority, which from the nature of things it would be impossi ble for Roman Catholics to accomplish, but the abuse of a political trust, to which the spirit of their Church and their sectarian jealousy or hatred of Protestantism might naturally tempt them. It was on this view and under this persuasion, that Mr. O'Connell, on the day of the last session alluded to, gave way to his ~ impa tience at the yoke w hi c h he secretly felt to be thus im posed upon his machinations against the Protestant Church of Ireland, by moving for a committee to get -ad of it. The learned malcontent went, as usual, somewhat cunningly to work. He asserted, that "the Catholics in the House of Commons ought not to be placed in an invidious light I" No, to be sure,—hey ought to have full liberty to stab our Protestant consti tution with the weapons which it confides to them. But the learned person further said,—and repeated through half a dozen sentences—that he, as an individual taking that oath, ought to be bound by its plain meaning, and not by any arbitrary construction which he or others might affix to it. Yet all this show of candour will not go for much, when it appears in a subsequent passage that the learned Jesuit has ready cut and dry a construction of the oath, dexte rously accommodated to his particular projects, and, as we Protestants may be disposed to think, sufficiently arbitrary likewise. Mr. O'Connell, being a stickler for " liberty" of conscience, allows his own no niggard measure. He assures the House that "he could take the oath with a safe conscience, and with the most perfect regard to the religion he professed." And well indeed he might, and with extraordinary satisfaction moreover. Why ?—" Because there was nothing in the oath to prevent a Catholic from acting as lie pleased with respect to the temporalities of the Established Church, either as regards the power, authority, or emoluments of that Church I' This may be highly satisfactory to the learned Repealer. He may have flattered himself that he could hoax the House of Commons by such a mystification of the plain terms of an oath binding Catholics not to do anything which might weaken or injure Church property or pri vileges, as would still admit of their acting how they pleased with her temporalities, by robbing her, for in stance, of every sixpence of revenue that had ever be longed to her. Very convenient this, no doubt, and prodigiously gratifying to those of the learned casuist's hearers who had flattered themselves with the notion that any oaths, or any bonds, however strictly and per spicuously worded could be available securities against Punic or Popish faith. Sir Robert Peel treated this morality with a gentleness and delicacy somewhat sur prising, as lie evidently detected the lurking mischief. He however reminded the learned anti-Saxon, that it was no more than five years since the Act of emanci pation had passed, that the oath in question was embo died with that Act as a security—the only one demanded by a Protestant nation, which had at the time the power in her hands to impose what conditions she might have deemed most necessary—and hinted that it was neither the most modest, nor the most grateful, nor most prudent thing in the world to importune Parliament at so early a period, after so vast a favour had been bestowed upon the Catholics, for the removal of the single guarantee against the abuse of it which Protes tant liberality had required. Sir Robert Peel added his own apprehension that Parliament might be in duced, by such conduct, to withhold all liberal con cession from those who asked it. But, for our parts, if the securities be swept away, we shall wonder if the Protestants do not require that the danger too— meaning the privilege against the abuse of which those securities were framed—shall also be removed by Act of Parliament. The Union with Ireland is not the only great political settlement of which revolu tionary exigencies may bring about the repeal. The " settlement" of 1829 is not one whit more sacred.— Times. Blow follows blow, and victory, victory, in the cause of Reform, even as the hammer of the smith strikes the anvil, and the anvil responds to the hammer. We had yesterday to record more than one triumph—to day we have to announce another, and one too of the highest magnitude and importance. We allude, of course, to the return of another of his Majesty's Mi nisters, the Right Honourable Poulett Thomson, for Manchester, by a majority which, sanguine as we were, exceeds even our calculations. The majority was no less than 1,366, the Tory candidate having polled only 1,839, and the Reform candidate 3,205. We need not state that, in common with all Reformers, we rejoice most sincerely at this result. It is not only a high com pliment to the Right Hon. Gentleman who has been returned : but it is a proof that the principles which he has always professed, and on which he has always acted, are sanctioned by a wealthy and influ ential, as well as by a highly numerous and re spectable body of his Majesty's subjects, and that the cause of Reform, instead of having lost in numbers by the late Tory usurpation, has actually gained strength. In some quarters there will lar, a severe struggle, but the Reformers, we believe, will make up in energy and activity for what they may lack in any other respect, and give, as in Manchester, such a lesson to their opponents as they will not very readily forget. The places to which we refer are Penryn, Devonshire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. In the first the result is dubious, for the reasons assigned in our report—in the second, there is, we have every reason to believe, a certain majority—and with regard to the third and last, Lord Morpeth has good reason to laugh at his opponents. His election is certain. And, now, what have the Tories to say for themselves? When Sir R. Peel came into office, they called for a fair trial, and sounded it through every part of the Kingdom to which they had access, that it would be most unjust to turn them out, without giving them an opportunity of stating their measures, and declaring their principles. When this cry was raised by their organs, we thought that they had had trial enough, and that their past conduct furnished a guarantee for their subsequent practice ; but what did they do ? Why those who had oppoSed the Reform Bill in al! its stages, and who had declared that they would not be answerable for its results, came forward with declarations breathing the spirit of Reform, but lacking its essence upon the most material points f The public was disgusted— truly and properly disgusted—but how much must that disgust be increased when it is. known that they now complain of not having had a fair trial ? What ! not a fair trial ?" Were they not tried upon the Speakership ? Were they not tried upon the Ad dress ? Were they not tried upon the London Uni versity charter ? And last of all, were they not tried upon the question of the Irish Church—a question which Sir R. Peel allowed to be one of confidence or no confidence—and found wanting ? They desired a long tenure of office—and they have not had it ; and because they have not had it, they say that they have not had a fair trial. But we have rea.,on to sympathise with them. All the elections are against them ; and in the language of the Roman poet, as well as of the boy to whom Queen Bess put a somewhat disagreeable question, they may say, in reply to their grand pa troness—ll/hut/um, Regina, jubes renovare dolorem. —Morning Advertiser. Hitherto the 'Tories have been beaten in all direc tions. In Manchester, the great manufacturing capi tal of the empire, second only to London in wealth and importance, Mr. Poulett Thomson has defeated his Tory opponent by a majority of nearly two to one. This is the genuine expression of public opinion. Mr. Labcuchere has carried the day at Taunton over his amphibious opponent. Mr. Rolfe, we regret to say, is one below the Tory candidate on the first day's poll ; if Lord Tullamore should ultimately carry the day, the Tories will, no doubt, make the most of the circumstance ; and the pockets of the Penryn elec tors will afford a proof of re-action more unques tionable than the majorities of all the popular con stituencies in favour of the Reform candidates. We have very cheering accounts from our Devonshire cor respondent. The Tories are no doubt making very great exertions to return Mr. Parker; and a shrewd guess may be formed as to the object of Lord Rolle in subscribing 1,0001. from a letter addressed to us by the Editor of the Greenwich Gazette, in which he states that a compositor in his office, who has a vote for Devon, has been canvassed by Mr. Parker's agents, who promised to post him to and from Exeter, and to allow him 31., 51., or 101. a day during his absence. .The compositor has had the virtue to reject this proposal, and will obtain for his vote for Lord John Russell the approbation of his own conscience. Lord John Russell made an excellent speech at Teignmouth, at which place an address from Liver pool, with 10,546 signatures was presented to his Lordship by Mr. Evart, who stated that he had been instructed to follow him, in order to communicate to bun that testimony of the admiration entertained by his constituents of the talents which had characterised his Lordship through his public life, and more particularly for the zeal and ability he had displayed on the ques tion of the appropriation of the surplus property of the Irish Church. Lord John's observations w ith res p ec t to the imputations cast on the Whigs, for receiving the ~~ ,~ THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, M AY 1, 1835. sill Tort of Mr. O'Conn e ll, were extremely apposite. Mr. O'Connell and those who share his views, duriiig erki 3 progress of the Reform Bill, gave the most efficient ai d in carrying it : " No man (said his Lordship) thought of repudiating that as istance then, nor should we do so now in the progress of anry great work. No one said You go farther than Ido on of her points, and I will not proceed with you on this Bill till y 711 abandon them.' That party did not disguise their differ ences from the Ministry that carried the Reform Bill on such paints as they disagreed on ; biit said These points we can discuss in future ; but as far as this Reform Bill is concerned, you have an able, honest, and zealous assistant.' lam disposed to accept the assistance of any persons, whatever opinions they may hold as to the present Ministry, or whatever they may conscientiously support. lam not disposed, on the other hand, to go farther than I can conscientiously go with regard to mea sures which they may think right, but in the justice and fitness of which I cannot concur." The Tories of Devonshire do .not seem to be over and above chivalrous, if we may judge from the insults offered by them to the Lady of Lord John. This sort of treatment, however, is not likely to find much favour with Englishmen. Lord Morpeth's prospects continue faiourable.—Morning Chronicle. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. EEX V. YOUNGIIUSBAND. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT applied to the Court for a rule for a criminal information against Robert Younghusband, a Captain in the 3d Regiment of Foot. The application was on behalf of Mr. John Jenkins, an attorney of this Court. Mr. Jenkins had been employed to prepare a marriage set tlement between a Miss Emily Robertson and a Mr. Chalmers. Miss Emily Robertson was the daughter of Captain Younghusband's wife by a former marriage. Amongst other property that she was supposed to be en titled to, and which was to be settled upon her, was a certain quantity of rupees, then in the hands of bankers in India. These rupees were to be settled for the purposes of the marriage. After this had been done, Captain Young husband, the stepfather, went out to India, for the purpose of settling the affairs of his wife and his stepdaughter ; and from India he wrote a letter, stating that there were some claims in respect of the property there, and that there was some property of a brother of Mrs. Robertson's former husband, and that he was informed he was entitled, in her right, to a part of it ; but lie added, that if the settlement had taken place, he should abandon his claim to the pro perty. He afterwards returned to England, and it seems that he then altered his opinion respecting this property, and thought proper to set up a claim to it. In consequence of that claim a correspondence took place between him and Mr. Jenkins, and the present application was occasioned by his couduct arising out of that correspondence. The Learned Counsel then stated the nature of the corres pondence, and concluded by reading the following note, which grew out of some offensive expressions let drop in one of the letters : " Captain Robert Younghusband directs his nephew, Cap tain Thomas Younghusband, to inform Mr. Jenkins, that if he (Mr. Jenkins) will not retract tho expression in his letter of the 16th of October, or give Captain Robert Younghus band the satisfaction of a gentleman, he (Mr. Jenkins) must not consider himself safe from insult whenever he may meet Captain Robert Younghusband." ' Lord DENMAN—Is there any affidavit showing that that paper was in the handwriting of the defendant ? Sir W. FOLLET answered in the negative. Lord DENMAN—Then you have not enough evidence against him to go before a Grand Jury ; for you may sup pose that we are now sitting to exercise the functions of a Grand Jury. Sir W. FOLLETT—As the application was for the purpose of personal protection, he trusted the Court would grant a rule against the nephew. Lord DENMAN—Certainly ; you may take a rule against the party who brought the message. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. PRICES OF CANALS DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 23.

(THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat at twelve o'clock, when the Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the woolsack as Speaker. A witness was sworn in to give evidence before the Gaol Committee, after which the House adjourned during pleasure. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY resumed his seat on the woolsack at half-past three o'clock. The Earl of Scarborough and the Earl of Lonsdale took the oaths, and subscribed the Parliamentary Roll. FANCOURT V. kULL. This was an action of trover on a; bill of exchange for NU, and was tried before Lord Lyndhurst, on which occa sion the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. 'The plaintiff, being desirous of raising money on his acceptance, had put the bill in question into the hands of a person of the name of Fraser, desiring him, if possible, to get it dis counted for his (plaintiff's) use. This Fraser had under taken to do, and had applied to defendant for that purpose, who first of all refused, but on its being endorsed by a Mr. Palmer, who put his name to it, for the purpose of render ing it more negotiable, be had advanced Fraser the sum of 601. upon it. This action was instituted to recover posses sion of the bill, plaintiff never having received any consi deration for it. Mr. KELLY now moved for an arrest of judgment, on the ground that the evidence of Fraser, who was examined on the trial, was not admissible. The Court would take time to consider its decision. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Ann Ash complained, that being a widow with two chil dren, the parish of St. Sepulchre had allowed her Is. 6d. a week only, and had now stopped it altogether. Mr. Miller, the assistant overseer, said the allowance was made to her for one child only, the other being illegitimate, and born and chargeable elsewhere. The money was stopped upod her confession that she was now living with a man named Dunbar. Mr. Alderman THOMAS WOOD asked her if she admitted this to be the fact ? She said she did, but if a man married her he did not marry her children. She wanted relief for her child, and not for herself. ' Mr. Alderman WOOD said she must give him leave to put his construction upon the law. He discharged the complaint. The woman muttered, as she turned away, that she would find a way to be a match for, Mr. Miller. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Lord Scarborough came yesterday before Mr. CONANT and Mr. CHAMBERS, to complain against the driver of a coal-waggon, named Scant., for having, owing to negligent conduct, injured a valtiable mare, and endangered his life. The Bench were satisfied that negligence was fairly at tributable to the defendant, and they inflicted a penalty of 20s. and costs. MARYLEBONE. Charles Wright and Eliza Benwell, who have for some time past cohabited as man and wife, were yesterday placed at the bar for re-examination, charged with the following robberies, the particulars of which have already appeared : It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners took a furnished lodging at the house of Mrs. Payne, No. 31, Little George-street, Hampstead-road, when it being discovered by the landlady that he had pawned the blankets, pillows, candlesticks, and other articles of furniture, they were given in charge. On searching their room afterwards, upwards of 100 duplicates were discovered, for various descriptions of property, pledged in different parts of London. Inquiries were then made, and :t s•r.3 c.scertained that the property belonged to a lady named Coglan, of No. 14, Buckingham street, Portland-road, who did in January last, and in whose service the female prisoner had been. Upwards of twenty pawnbrokers attended, and Mr. Brewster, of No. 9, Carburton-street, executor to the de ceased, Mrs. Coglan, having identified the plate and other articles as belonging to that lady, the prisoners were fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Ellen Snook, a woman living in the service of a butcher at Stockwell, was brought up in custody, charged, on her own confession, with the murder of her ille gitimate child. The prisoner has been living, for the last five weeks, in the service of Mr. Twitchen, butcher at Stockwell. For some time . past she appeared very much dist resse d i n mind, and on Wednesday s h e ex p resse d a w i s h to d ec l are a circumstance which she said weighed heavily on her mind, and made her wretched. She then went on to state, with out any solicitation, that while living at Worthing, in Sus sex, in a situation, she became acquainted with a man by whom she had an illegitimate child. When it was born, she deprived the infant of life without the knowledge of any person ; but she had been so wretched ev er s i nce t h e gu il ty affair, that she made up her mind to disclose th e f ac t s an d resign herself up into the hands of justice. After having made the above disclosure, she packed up a f ew o f h er clothes, and hastily left her situation at Stockwell, w ith out apprising any of the family of her intention. Information having been given to the police, she was pursued on the road to town, and taken into custody. When brought to this office she seemed to be labouring under much excite ment, but said nothing on the subject of the charge. The MAGISTRATES gave directions that inquiries should be made at Worthing relative to the case, and in the i n t er i m remanded the prison e r for further examination. Naval adventures always attract a large share of public attention in this country, but none that we have met with are at all comparable to the " Tough Yarns," by the Old. Sailor, author of ‘. Greenwich Hospital." Here, most pla cable reader, is a title for thee, pregnant with fun, and deeply prophetic of humour, drollery, and all those joyous emotions that so opportunely come to oil the springs of the heart. The title is no vain glorious boast; it is even modest as regards the merits of the work. The " Old Sailor" paints sea-scenes and adventures with a vigour and gusto, reminding us of Tom Cringle, and with a strong sense of the comical that ap proaches Smollett. This charming , volume is moreover ex quisitely embellished 14 that inimitable humourist George Cruikshank, CONYER'S DIVORCE BILL. This Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday the 18th inst. HEARING OF APPEALS. Lord BROUGHAM thought it would be as well to state, by way of giving notice to the suitors, that the ar rangements made with respect to causes, would prevent any cause being heard till Thursday. There were four Scotch cases which it was expected would have been ready for hearing yesterday, and probably the parties would be ready in those by next Tuesday. It was stated by the par ties at the bar that two of the causes would be ready by Tuesday. His LORDSHIP then said he would take them on Tues day, unless contrary notice were given, and that then they would be taken on Thursday. His Lordship also wished to state, in consequence of an application which lial been made by a Learned Counsel, that" Small v. Attwood," would not be taken till after the 12th. The Peers present were the Duke of Richmond, Earls Radnor, Scarborough, and Lonsdale ; and Lords Brougham and Kenyon. _ Their Lordships then adjourned till half-past twelve o'clock on Tuesday.
