SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A west of Ireland paper, quoted in the Times of yesterday, states that Dr. IVl'Hale, the Romish Arch bishop of Tuam, has been heard to boast, that on the next election, if he chooses, he will return "two cow boys for the county," and we little question that the *sifluence of the priesthood, upheld as it is by methods latterly resorted to on the part of those spiritual poten tates, will, so long as it ministers to the discontents and the turbulent and malignant passions of the mul titude, carry the government of the country on its shoulders, and ere long obliterate all traces of every authority but its own. There is not a county, contest t(be named in Ireland which has not exhibited proofs ithe terrific power exercised by the Popish clergy, and of the unholy and atrocious means by which they have enforced it. All civil relations, ties, and con s nexions, dissolve before its touch—those of landlord and tenant, neighbour and neighbour, magistrate and citizen, sovereign and subject, are trampled under foot by this intrusive tyranny, which disregards all the sanctions and cementing principles that hold society together, and introduces other sanctions of reward and punishment, neither guided, restrained, nor in any degree or manner administered, with reference to human law, liberty, or justice. This vicious and ruin ous course of action, in which the Romish priesthood of Ireland have been for years past invariably engaged, is partly the direct consequence of their humiliating position, which, in making them dependent on the will of the multitude for their bread, compels them to bid for popular favour by indefinite indulgence to all its caprices and iniquities, and partly the indirect conse quence, by urging them to seek from other sources a more fixed, legitimate, and liberal provision, which would enure to them in the character of property, not of bounty, and render them a recognized body in the State. We have no hesitation in expressing our be lief that the present aim of the Popish hierarchy in Ire land, and of the parochial priesthood, is to regain posses sion of that immense church property which was wrested, from the Papists of former times, and which the agita tion of these five or six years, alternately assaulting and undermining the Established Church, has had for one of its objects to give back to the parties who were then deprived of it, however subversive of all civilized government s hould be the result of its restoration to the Papists. Indeed, the re-conquest of the property seized in past centuries frossi the church of Rome in Ireland would extend much furtLer than to any lands or tithes (or commuted tithes)which Protestant Church has at any age enjoyed. In a coun::v where the Popish hierarchy would exercise such imms:2lse and para mount sway as in Ireland, after throwis:„ off the British connexion, it is certain enough the pziest hood would never be content without enforcing in its own favour the ancient and favourite maxim of nulluin tempus, but would reclaim, on the ground of indefeasible right, every shilling's worth of lay impropriation, or of alienated land, to which an ecclesiastical title could be traced, no matter at how remote a period. It is not with the 600 and odd thousand pounds of tithe paid annually to the paro chial clergy, or with that and the Protestarl4, Bishops and Dean and Chapter lands together, that the M'Hales, and other samples of Maynooth piety and gentleness, and contempt for lucre, would be satisfied. They would insist on all such possessions as we have enumerated, plus the whole of what had been seized by the Crown, and regranted to lay-proprietors. The landholders of Ireland may be shocked at this. The Catholic tenants under ancient leases for long terms of years, or lives renewable for ever, may smile at such a prospect. But let both these classes of our fellow-sub jects assure themselves that it will be realized in any case which favours the supercession of the Protestant church of Ireland by the Romish ; and towards such a consummation the grand avenue is a repeal of the Union. But what, let us ask, is to prevent the execution of M'Hale's threat, which meditates the same final issue as to O'Connell's head and cross bones ? What is to prevent this Popish Bishop from returning as many " cowboys" as he may think fit to the Imperial Parlia ment ? The power of these incendiaries is augmenting every minute. What mode of legislation can stop or retard their career before they get into their own hands the entire representation of Ireland ? There arc but two expedients : either deprive them of the power to turn the constituency of Ireland against the State, or of the disposition to do so. The power of the priests over the electors admits, even in theory, of no more than two means of diminution-1. Educate the people of Ireland out of their evil spirit towards the State, out of their proneness to those criminal schemes of which the priest, when he encourages them, is always the ablest abettor, and oil!. of their super stitious bondage—a process which perhaps might be effectual after 40 or 50 years. Or, 2dly, deprive of their right of voting that class of electors who are i2ost liable to be intimidated or duped by the malpractices of their ghostly counsellors, an experiment which we appre hend would be to the full as impracticable as the former one would to - all present uses be found deplorably inefficient. The electoral qualification of no class of the King's sub jects can now be raised without raising that of the people, and, such a change is out of the question—but there is, fortunately, another alternative remaining : act upon the disposition of the Catholic priesthood—let the State afford them, without trouble, crime, degra dation, or uncertainty, as good an income as that out of which they have hitherto begged, or bullied, or swindled (vide Croly) the Catholic people and each other. Enable them to exchange a dependence on the ignorant and wretched rabble for one upon the Legis lature of the kingdom. Bring them into bonds of an alliance of interest and authority to the State itself, by finding in it a willing and liberal supporter, and they will prefer to receive from it, in peace and secu rity, even a fifth part of what the indifference of the State towards them and their well being, now forces them to seek through the precarious and desperate ex pedient of civil war. We shall in a day or two present the reader with some remarks from other sources upon this most important question, which must never be lost sight of by those who would prefer to govern Ire land by a civilizing policy, rather than an everlasting recourse to the bayonet and sabes.—Times. We demolished yesterday, if we mistake not, the economical pretence set up by the Tory party on be half of Sir Charles Manners Sutton, as the person who ought to be elected as Speaker of the House of Commons ; and we should now proceed to compare the respective merits—if a comparison could be insti tuted between two such men as Mr. Abercromby and Sir Charles Manner; Sutton—were it not that we have strong reasons to believe that no contest will en sue—that the Tory Admin: _stration is already beaten —that Sir George Murray has been kicked out of the Cabinet—that Lord Lyndhurst :.'as signified his intention to resign, for reasons best kuawn to him self—that the Church and the Ministry a 1,7 in the position of yard arm and yard arm—and, in a N:Prd , that a few days will suffice to seal its dissolution. We do not authenticate these matters. We are not in a l position to do so. We are not, and wish not to be, in the confidence of the Carlton Club ; but this much, we think, we may very fairly state—namely—that Sir George Murray is out, and that the late Speaker has all but signified his determination not to contest the Chair with such an able opponent as Mr. Abercromby. Let our friends, however, who are the friends of Reform, not rely too much upon the " sayings of the day." We think that we have authority for what we have stated ; but let every Reformer judge of our statements as false. At the present mo ment every lure is thrown out to gain the waverers— every deceit practised to throw the Reformers off their guard; but having gained the victory in the elections, are we to be beaten by a straw? Reformers, be at your posts on the 19th—vote as you have spoken—act as you have pledged yourselves—and the Tories are for ever beaten ! Of an illustrious personage we say no thing. He has, if we are not misinformed, been grossly deceived—and being deceived, has signified his anger in no very moderate terms. The Court party, how ever, can speak more satisfactorily on this subject than either ourselves or Sir R. Peel.—Morning Advertiser. Next to the liberty of the Press, which was com pared to nothing short of the vital air, there is no sub ject on which the Whigs, when out of office, used to be so eloquently horror-struck as at the interference of the Peers or Clergy in elections. Towards any one of the latter, unless he happened to be Norfolk Archdeacon or a Warwickshire pedagogue, no terms of reproach were too bitter. Scarcely was he allowed to exercise his own elective franchise; but if found in the remotest degree influencing his parishioners, wo to the unlucky clerical wight who fell under the exter minating ban of Whig censure. The country was hardly so unreasonable as to expect out-of-office principcs to follow men into place, and was there fore prepared to witness some little inconsistency, especially where the extreme had been so violent. But how stands the matter now—now that the Whigs are mace more out of office, free from shackles, which so fatally compromised their free agency ? If ever a general election took place in which priestly interference appeared under the most flagrant and influential form, Ireland has just exhibited a scene which beggars all example or description. Yet where are all the Whig sympathies, all those out-bursts of virtuous patriotic indignation, which, to be consistent, should have been poured forth upon the occasion ? Principles unluckily are as nothing when party objects stand in the way I And as the interference of the Catholic Priesthood in Ireland has for its object the removal of the pre sent Administration, and the re-instatement of the Whigs, the end is readily made to sanctify the means, and the most hateful exercise of spiritual domination is witnessed in silence and with apparent satisfac tion. On the country at large, however, the scenes to which we are alluding must have a very different effect. It will be difficult to discover what either Catholic Emancipation or what the Reform Act will have done for Ireland, if this species, not to say of mere intimida tion, but of actual violence, can accompany, unrestrained, the clerical office. A Correspondent of a Morning Paper indulged its readers not long ago with the ac count of some country Clergyman in England who had turned away his washerwoman, because her husband would not vote as her employer wished. If this were true, it would furnish, at least, an instance---we trust a solitary instance—of bad taste ; while it furnishes also an instance of that one-sided justice in which the writers alluded to are so prone to indulge. At pre sent we admit that we are treating the subject rather sarcastically than seriously ; rather as affording a proof of party inconsistency than as it affects the great ques tion of national representation. Ridicule, however, , may be on this, as it is on many occasions, used as a test of truth. We wish we could urge the Whig press to a notice of the subject. It is one on which in a minor point of view, a vast deal of past eloquence has been bestowed. Never was there an occasion when the thunders of its indignation were so loudly called for. Let it not be said that its sympathies are all ab sorbed in the case of one solitary washerwoman ! Morning Herald. The answer given by the people of Scotland and Ireland to the appeal recently made to their loyalty and p a t r L , tism by our good King, if not indeed so satis factory in ;:;:: details and immediate consequences as the reply of the ,lectors throughout England and AVales, is, nevertheleSs, 11.2tiglit with matter for agree able consideration. We do not. refer so much to the numerical triumphs achieved in those i . .Yo branches of the United Kingdom (although they are by means to be passed over in silence), as to the moral effeci which the elections in question must necessarily pro duce ; and to this we will chiefly confine our attention, taking, however, a rapid and cursory view of the more important changes in favour of order and good govern ment which have occurred in those portions of the British empire. With reference first to Scotland. Sir George Clerk, one of the most useful and efficient men of business in existence, is elected for the metro politan county, vice Sir John Dalrymple, who never " showed," and by a decisive majority over Mr. Gibson Craig, the son of a Whig-Radical Baronet, the idol of the distinguished Supplies-stoppers who abound in that neighbourhood. Mr. Pringle, of Wythbank, than whom a more patriotic and indepen dent gentleman does not breathe, is returned for Sel kirkshire, where lie had been unsuccessful during the period of excitement, returning the compliment upon Mr. Pringle, of Clifton, the late Member, who pos sessed nothing in common with his victorious rival, save a similarity of names. The " legitimate influ ence" of Lord Minto avails nothing in Roxburghshire. By the way Lord Minto's father was ennobled by a Conservative Administration. Captain Elliot, the brother of the Whig Earl, and ex-Secretary of the Admiralty, a gentleman personally popular, but poli tically odious, makes way for Lord John Scott, of whom it is impossible to speak in too lofty terms of panegyric. Admiral Fleming, an ultra-Whig, is driven out of Stirlingshire by Mr. Forbes, who was beaten at the last election by a very large majority. So much, then, for the result of the elections in Scotland. Proceed we now to take a brief and succinct view of the more important victories which have been gained in Ireland. The city of Cork has rejected Dr. Baldwin and Mr. Daniel Callaghan, than ~..hom it would be difficult to find a more factious and le s s intelligent pair, and is now represented by Mr. Leycester ,and Colonel Chatterton, men opposed in every point of ),;.!.9w to the ex-Members. The borough of Athlone has ennzisted the care of its interests to Captain Mathew, a Conservative, the services of Mr. Talbot, the late M.P., being civilly dispensed with. Queen's county has cashiered Mr. Patrick Lalor—an especial joint of the " tail"—and has asociated a fit and able colleague to the excellent and ann . z.. l )le Sir Charles Coote, in the person of Mr. Vesey, the sk;2l of an exemplary resident landlord, himself a worthy scion of his parent stock. The county and town of Carlow have nobly emulated each other in the election of three Conservatives, Mr. Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh being the Representatives of the former, another Mr. Bruen of the latter, constituency. In the late Parlia ment Mr. Wallace, Mr. Blackney, and Mr. Vigors were the " tail" Members. 'Kinsale returns Colonel Thomas, a friend of the Constitution, in the room of Colonel Stamen, a good officer, but bad politician ; Mr. Dixon, the Destructive candidate, encountering a merited de feat. Carrickfergus, which was without a representa tative before the dissolution (its disfranchisement having been attempted by that unprejudiced and im partial chairman of an Election Committee, Mr. Daniel O'Connell,) is now defended by Mr. Kirk, a good man and true. The province of Ulster, ever active and zealous in the good work of loyalty, has not disap pointed our expectations. The names of Verner, Castlereagh, Conolly, Batesou, Maxwell, and others, whom it is now unnecessary to enumerate, speak in terms too plain to be misunderstood. It becomes now our duty to point out, with as much brevity as is con sistent with the importance of the subject, the moral effect to be anticipated from the results of the late general elections in Scotland and Ireland, and to these we will now apply ourselves with as much brevity as is consistent with the importance of the subject. It must have struck the most superficial observer by what very narrow majorities the Destructives obtained in many instances a temporary success. East Lothian, Forfarshire, Perthshire, and espe cially Inverness-shire, are striking examples of this fact : and even the "gude town" of Edinburgh deserves some det:ree of praise. In proof of which we need only refer our :eaders to the positive and relative station on the poll of Lenzl Ramsay and Mr. Learmonth as compared with that of i `,Lir. Blair two years back, when the majority of tine ex-Lora Advocate (we beg his pardon, the actual Lord of Session,; and the pensioned candidate for the Speaker's chair was ncomparably greater. In Ireland, again, let us take the e... 1 ses of Tralee, Youghal, Belfast, Newry, and, though last no. least, the county and city of Dublin (and we might name many others,) and then let us inquire of any fair or candid person what inferences he would draw from such unanswerable facts ? But we may be asked how happens it that the Conservatives have not gained more numerical victories in Scotland and Ireland ? The question may be easily answered. Political excite ment has not yet completely subsided in Scotland. The falsehood and bluster of titled mountebanks and coronetted Cades are not yet entirely detected or duly appreciated by our northern neighbours. The cry denouncing all institutions, whether ec clesiastical or civil, still rings in their ears ; and the revived feelings of loyalty and veneration, whose influence in England have been of so power ful and gratifying a description, have not yet penetrated thoroughly and effectually into the hearts of our respecead neighbours. Let us wait, however, until they shall have another opportunity of giving vent to their sentiments. Let the measures of the advisers of the Crown be once fairly before the Legislature, and we shall soon find the quacks and political profligates, the Radical pensioners and dis loyal ex-Attorney-Generals, the Bowrings, the Gillons, the Abercrombys, and the Campbells reduced to their proper level. With regard to Ireland, the reply is of a more complicated and delicate nature. We believe, nay we know, that were the unbiassed and free judg ment of the electors in our unfortunate sister country fully exercised, a,very large majority would be found ranged on the side of order and good government. It is a fact, notorious as the sun at noon-day, that the rank, intellect, and wealth of Ir e land are, with scarcely an exception, attached to the British connec tion, and anxious to maintain it unimpaired and invio lable—and that they are aware that for the purpose of securing the permanence of such union, the defence of the laws, ecclesiastical and civil, is indispensable. But against this body are embarked all that Ireland has of folly, mischief, worthlessness, and ignorance acting upon each other, and tending to strengthen the galling yoke of tyranny and superstition. Are the Conserva tives heading the poll at Dublin, Tralee, or Belfast — the myrmidons, lay and clerical, of the arch dema gogue and bully are prepared to excite against the well disposed electors not merely odium and abuse, but the physical elements of civil warfare, the knife, the brand, and the dagger. Is the Knight of Kerry likely to succeed for his native county, that county in which he has done more good than would be effected by ten ge nerations of O'Connells—all his exertions to pro cure for his Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen an equality of civil rights are basely forgotten, or, if remembered, remembered only to be cast in his teeth. The engines of falsehood and intimidation arc set at work—Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald is beaten. Dublin appears likely to burst the disgraceful chains. Again, no misrepresentation is unemployed, no agita tion spared. The cause of order is again defeated by a small majority. There is one circumstance to be es pecially noticed as connected with the recent elections in Ireland, that during the first two days' poll the Con servatives headed almost invariably their opponents, and the hopes of loyalty were proportionably raised. No sooner, however, (lid the maim who wrings from the hard hands of a starving peasantry a disgraceful and discreditable revenue perceive the probable overthrow of his schemes, than he scruples not to employ all the means which deceit, imposture, and ignorance have largely provided for his use, and the cause of order and peace undergoes a reverse. Sursly some remedy should be provided for this evil, which increases daily and hourly its alarming extent. We have never been able to dis cover the reason why the time fixed for the duration of the poll in Ireland was by She defunct Administration protracted to a longer period than that allowed in ngland and Scotland, save that it afforded opportu nity for intimidation, and thus assisted the mock op ponent but real supporter of the Whig-Radical Ministry in his nefarious and atrocious schemes. Such, then, are the princi i , al causes which have ren dered our triumphs in Scotland and Ireland less in number, but not inferior in importance, to those in England. With regard to behind, indeed, there is every reason to believe that many of the demagogues in that country, and especially D., d iniel O'Connell 1-7im self, will be unseated by the resolutions of Parliamen tary Committees, their majorities being merely fictitious and colourable. Be the result of these inquiries what they may, our confidence is strong, our hopes high. Truth will in the end prevail, and the empire of im posture be overthrown ; the dominion of the laws tri umphantly vindicated ; the majesty of justice, order, and good government again seated on a firm, solid, and immoveable throne.—Morning Post. The Tories are evidently in great perplexity on ac count of the determination of the Reformers to pro pose, and consequently to carry, Mr. Abercromby for the Speakership of the new House of Commons, in opposition to the man whom the Duke of Cumberland thought the fittest of all men to head a Tory Ministry —Sir Charles Manners Sutton. From the known re luctance of Mr. Abercromby to undertake the duties of that office—a reluctance which was only overcome by the conviction that a public principle was involved in the question—the Tories had for some weeks been buoying themselves up with the idea that they should have met with no opposition to their nomination of the late Speaker, whose services in the dismissal of thc Mel bourne Ministry, and the formation of the present, gave him such strong claims on their support. We find in the Standard of last night a sample of the usual tac tics displayed on such occasions. The peerage which it is understood Sir Charles is to receive as the price of his intrigues for the dismissal of the late Ministry, and the active part he took in the formation of the present, is dexterously brought forward, and Mr. Abercrombv's eyes are directed to the prospect which this speedy ele vation must open to him. " Lord John Russell," says the Standard, " is a very silly person ; but he knows that Mr. Abercromby has as little chance of being elected Speaker in the present case as he has of gaining the electoral crown of Poland. Even self flattery, intoxicating as it is, does not seduce Mr. Abercromby himself into this expectation, though he cunningly avails himself of the opportunity to lay the foundation of an ulterior chance, when Sir C. Manners Sutton shall be, as we trust he will soon le, promoted according to his deserts." This hint will not do; Mr. Abercromby, our contemporary may be assured, will be both proposed and carried; but as one good turn deserves another, we may just hint to our contemporary, that if Sir Charles Sutton wishes to be Lord Lexington, of which we believe there is no doubt, his object will not be greatly forwarded by the approaching contest. His would-be Lordship must know, that every reformer, at all deserving of the name, must vote for Mr. Abercromby ; and Sir Robert Peel —after a vote of the House of Commons—may have doubts whether it would be quite suitable to - follow up the discomfiture by a Peerage. We give the Standard great credit for the dexterity shown in con verting the question into an issue of criminal justice ; but, after all, they must be sad waverers who are to be caught by this artifice. " The question is now (says our contemporary) put out of the category of politics, and brought to an issue of criminal justice, in deciding which none but the basest and most unprincipled can allow personal or political feeling to have the slightest influence. When a gentleman is told that lie is to be put aside for a flagrant abuse of his high d u ty,' how ever anxious be might otherwise be to retire, 'every sequin - lent of honourable pride commands his perseve rance in the contest. Again—when the House of Commons is told that the late Speaker has rendered himself unworthy of their trust by ' a flagrant abuse of high duty, which he owed to the former House, the Members of the House of Commons must feel as men empannelled upon a penal trial, whose very first duty must be to dismiss all personal and political considerations." They must be more than waverers— they must be tolerably well inclined to Toryism, who will suffer themselves to be bullied into a support of the Speaker, because nothing worse can be proved against him than that he did all he could to break up the late Ministry, and, consequently, to dissolve a Par liament too much of a Reforming cast for Tories. There is nothing, however, like audacity : but our contemporary will find that the Reformers are not to be bullied.—Morning Chronicle. ROLLS' COURT. IN RE EVAN 3. ' Mr. ROGERS appeared in support of this petition, which have a Master's report confirmed. The only ques he opinion of the Court was sought wa s , whether or not certan: _ rs tion on wine:a. * ;nfants were infants possessed o f an _ of the I,7irth netitione h section o f absolute estate within the mcan,..„ - the 11th Geo. IV. and 2d William IV. ... were three sisters, and at present presumptive heirs of a tie ceased brother. Their father and mother were still alive, and the petitioners' interests might consequently be entirely defeated by the birth of a son, or partially by the birth of one or more sisters. The Acts in question provided for the leasing of infants' estates, and the Master, to whom the matter bad been referred, by his report had found that pe titioners were not seized of an absolute estate within the meaning of the Acts. He (Mr. Rogers) submitted that the Master had come to an erroneous conclusion. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS was of opinion, that the Master had come to a proper conclusion, THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HARVEY. Mr. BETHELL appeared on this petition, and the only point in the case was this :--A testatrix bad left the residue of her property, after the Nywent of all her legacies, just debts, &c., &c., to be divided into burns of 100/. e4ali, to be niven to different c h ar it a bl e i ns ti tut i ons , so f ar as i t wou'ld go. The matter had been referred to the Master, to approve of a scheme. The Master had made his report, by which he made the bequests payable to the treasurers of each of those charities which he considered deserving, and he considered that the Master's report should be confirmed. His Honour said that the Court could only direct the bequests to be paid in the way specified. Consequently he should confirm the Master's report. SECON - I EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

COURT OF REQUESTS, GUILDHALL. William Spratt, a licensed witkr, was summoned before the Commissioners by Emma Williams, of the species half Amazon, half Tartar, for sixteen shillings, the amount of one month's Wages. COMMISSIONER —In what capacity were you hired ? E ninia —As a maid of all work, sir, Spratt—Aye, but you was turned off, as a maid of no work ; why, Ontiemen; there was not a t a bl e i n t h e con cern that I could not write "Bill Spratt" on with the tip of my finger. We was awaked with dust all the time we had she in the house. Emma—Yes, but that was all along with master him self: Wasn't you always kicking up a dust, and snubbing and abusing, and calling me nasty names, and all just for nothing at all? And was'nt you wanting to make a pot boy of me ? and because I would'nt did you not call me a ? Spratt—All gammon, gentlemen ; she's flabbergasting you. COMMISSIONER —For what reason were you discharged? Spratt—She ruinated my loin of pork last Sunday—done. it to ribbons and rags ; and flesh and blood could not stand that no longer. Emma—There's a story! didn't I lay both the knives and forks on the table? and didn't missus say that I should keep the pork in the pot whilst she was a borrowing the rest for the gemmen as was going to dine ? and wasn't you going to fling the dish-cover at my head, only that missus went into fits? Here the Commissioners interposed, and Emma having been sworn as to the fact of the money being due, was ap peased by an order in her favour, upon which Spratt made his exit in a truly dramatic rage. Alexander Alexander appeared to answer the complaint of James Bagnall, a venerable dealer in swine's flesh. COMMISSIONER—What is your demand against. Alexan der ? Bagnall—Why, your Worship sees as how I makes pork out of pigs, and as I was a-going to market t'other morning to buy one of them ere hanimals, I borrowed a sack of Mr. Alexander to fetch the porker home in, and left a half-crown in pledge for it. When the chap was done for, I brought the bag to him ; but I never seen the colour of my coin since. Mrs. Alexander pleaded with all the energy of a half crown lawyer, that she herself paid the money in question to complainant. CommssioNEß—Perhaps he forgot this. Was he sober at the time ? Mrs. Alexander—He was after the market, and looked a little refreshed or so . .._ Bagnall—There's an insinivation I Bless your Worships, I never lushes none at all whatsomdever ; there 's no one more respected in the pig -market these forty years than Jem Bagnall. COMMISSIONER-Will you swear you did not get the money ? Bagnall—Not a doubt of it, your Worship. Mrs. Alexander—lf you do, you ought to be ashamed to look a pig straight in the face as long as you live. The complainant was, however, sworn, and an order made accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Captain Dempsey, the commander of an Irish trader, appeared upon an Information charging him with having employed an unlicensed pilot, after having been applied to by a regular Trinity Corporation pilot to be employed in steering the vessel from Gravesend to the port of London. The penalty sought for was 71. 16s. 6d, being double the amount of the pay to a pilot for the work. The Trinity pilot, on Tuesday last, saw an unlicensed pilot, named Laurence, in charge of the defendant's ship at Gravesend. The vessel made no signal for a pilot, and complainant heard Laurence give directions on the quarter deck, as he (complainant) was in the habit of doing. Com plainant exhibit e d hi s li cense , b ut t h e defendant reused to employ him. Next morning, at Northfleet, Laurence again went on board at seven o'clock, and complainant went alongside, and finally succeeded in getting on board, al though the Captain was opposed to his admission. He had no sooner, however, put his foot on deck than be was shoved, by the Captain's orders in his boat, at the hazard of being ducked, if not drowned. Determined to have justice, he contrived to keep up with the Captain, who took a steamer at Greenwich to .tow his vessel along, and the complainant did not show himself until the ship arrived in London, when, the moment the crew saw hi m , the y cr i e d out, " By J-, there's the pilot." A professional gentleman, who generally acts for the Trinity pilots, contended that the violation of the law sub jected the defendant to the penalty. The Captain of the ship submitted to the Lord Mayor that the Trinity pilot had no right to force himself into a vessel which did not require his aid or interference, and denied most positively that any pilot, licensed or un licensed, had been employed or required on board. The fact was, that it was necessary to get a couple of hands at Gravesend to assist the men, who had been long en gaged at the pumps, as th ere was f rom 16 t o 18 feet water in the hold. Laurence was one of these men, and that person never once acted as pilot, for he (defendant piloted the vessel himself, being well acquainted with th e river from a long experience. When the complainant re fused to quit the vessel it was determined that he should be put out, and he was accordingly gently shoved into his boat. The moment, however, he was thus disposed of, he cried out that his watch was gone, and that his money was taken out of his waistcoat pocket. Joseph Green, mate of the vessel, confirmed the account given by the defendant in every respect. The Attorney for the Trinity pilot said that he had other witnesses to call in support of his case, but The LORD MAYOR declared that there was no occasion. He perfectly well saw that the Captain had engaged Lau rence not to pilot the ship, but to assist his men in the leaky condition of the vessel. He should therefore dismiss the case. The Solicitor—My Lord, I hope you will allow me to argue, and to call e v id ence b e f ore you d ec id e . The Loan MAYOR—I have already decided. The Solicitor—Then, my Lord, I shall proceed upon another information against Captain Dempsey. The LORD MAYOR—I tell you I have already decided, and I must say that it is a most vexatious information. The parties then left the Justice-room. A man named John Brown was charged with having en• tered the premises of Mr. Lock, the Common Council man, and stolen some carpenters' tools, in Martin's-lane. The LORD MAYolt said that the robbery was a most scandalous one. The expense of a chest of tools was in many cases upwards of 501., and a poor joiner or carpenter could not think of going to work at his trade without at any rate 20/. worth. His Lordship hoped that 'upon the trial, this case would not be overlooked in the allotment of the punishment, and committed the offender. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a respectable looking man, who gave the name of Robert Clark, was brought up in the custody of Herds field, the Guildhall offieer, on suspiciGn of being concerned in stealing a parcel, containing notes of the Bank of Man chester to the amount of 9151., from the warehouse of Messrs. Brown and Swainson, Cateaton-street, warehouse men. The notes are payable at Messrs. Glyn's, in London, and it is suspected that by repeatedly watching their porter, the thieVes obtained a clue that it was the practice to leave a parcel fin. some country bankers at Messrs. Brown and Swainson's, to be enclosed with their ordinary packages, as being more secure than if they were taken direct the coach-Office. On Saturday evening, between tve and six o'clock, about two minutes before Glyn's Irorter arrived, the prisoner and another man entered Messrs. Brown's, and asked for some specimens of fringe and carriage trimming. The prisoner was the inquirer and the other man his ac quaintance, who amused himself by walking up and down the warehouse while the prisoner was talking about the goods. In the meantime the porter brought in the parcel, and the prisoner and his friend had an opportunity of see ing where it was placed, and of stealing it as he paced backwards and forwards. It happened that a man who works for Messrs. Brown, and who was waiting to settle his account, recognised the prisoner, and after he was gone mentioned that their new customer was one of the " swell mob." The parcel was soon missed, and Herdsfield suc ceeded in tracing out the prisoner at a flash-house in the neighbourhood of Covent-garden. He had no part of the stolen property about him. John Dobarr, the workman, recognised the prisoner as the person who came to examine the samples. Mr. Wooler, for the prisoner, remarked upon the insuf ficiency of the evidence to criminate the prisoner, as neither he nor his friend were seen to steal the parcel, nor was any thing found in his possession when the officer took him, two or three hours afterwards. Mr. Alderman WILSON admitted the evidence was very slight as respected the prisoner, but he should like to know whether he was known, Foster, the Marshahnan, said hewsl'a. lie had been in custody for felony in the name of Yiumphreys. Mr. Swainson applied to lave the pri soner reman d ed for a few days, to givehim time to make further inquiry. Mr. Aldeiman Wix,sQN said that as the prisoner had been in ck4.ooy, before, he thought it would be proper to give Mr. Swainson the opportunity he required, and the Kisnner waQ aßeOrdingiy remanded. P OW-STREET. ;es, Was c h arge d a."..; Old -stre e t, St. Yesterday a young man, named John D by James Toole, a shoemaker, livi ng i n Luke's, with attempting to pick pockets at Drury -lane Theatre on 'Saturday evening last. Toole saw the prisoner at the Pit entrance of the theatre trying gentlemen's pockets, and seeing IL police constable present, he gave hint into custody, The prisoner was about to be committed for further exa mination, when Kirkman ; a police officer of the F division, who is usually stationed at Drury-lane Theatre in plain clothes to look after thieves, felt it his duty to inform the magistrate that the witness Toole was not a parish constable, although he usually described himself as such. He was in the habit of attending the theatres every night, and of mixing with the thieves. A few evenings ago he (Kirkman) and another constable were in the act of watching three of the " swell mob" at the theatre, with a view to their apprehension, when Toole whistled in a peculiar manner, and the thieves immediately dispersed in different directions. The prisoner Davis was discharged with a caution. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Among the charges of drunkenness from the St. James's station was a comical old countryman named Grimmelt , well known at Beaconsfield, from whicla place be had on Saturday been despatched with a eartload of goods to de liver in town. On the road he contrived to become so in timate with Sir John Barleycorn, the Member for " Lush ington," that when he arrived at the public-house in Pic cadilly at which he was accustomed to stop, he was in that happy state of " elevation" which rendered him oblivious of all his sublunary cares. After taking a parting glass there he got into his cart, and in a few minutes tumbled back wards into it, leaving it to the option of the horse to choose his own road. Luckily the animal who drew the cart pos sessed somewhat more sagacity than the animal snoring within, so, after proceeding soberly straightforward for some miles, the horse, probably guessing the situation of matters, leisurely turned tail, and about one o'clock in the morning drew up at the door of the same public-house from which the pair had first started. A policeman who was on duty near the spot looked into the cart, and, finding a good deal of property there, roused the defendant with some difficulty, and then took him to the station-house, sc.' curing his cart and property in the green-yard. Mr. CONANT—WeII, you are charged with having been drunk, what do you say to it ? Defendant—Noa, I wor not drunk. I wor drowsy. Mr. CONANT—The policeman has sworn to the:fact. Defendant—May be so ; but I'se best judge o'that. wor not drunk, I wor only drowsy I tellee. Mr. CONANT—YOU must pay five shillings. Defendant—Waunds ! five shillings. Whoy, lookee, thee woant charge I vor being a bit drowsy. It wor half the drink and half the drowsiness, so I'se gi thee half-a crown. The Magistrate, however, exacted the whole of the fine, telling the defendant he might consider himself very fortunate in having his goods preserved to him. The defendant handed over the money with great re luctance, and then went to release his horse and cart. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.

SINGULAR ADVENTURE.--A few days ago, a lady in Paris hired a glass coach to go to an evening party. with a footman to attend her. On coming out again, she en tered what she supposed to be her temporary carriage, without observing that the lacquey who opened the door was not the same who came with her, or perceiving that there was another person crouched in a corner on the front scat. After passing through several streets, she discovered that she was not alone. and immediately, in surprise and alarm, inquired whether she had not made a mistake. The unknown answered that it W$S no mistake, and in peremptory terms, which admitted of no resistance, insisted on her silence, or he would order the coach man to drive to a solitary spot beyond the barrier : pro mised, that if she delivered up to him all her diamonds and ener jewellery, she should be taken safely to 11 er own door. Her fears induced her to comply, and she ''Aivested herself of all her valuables, and delivered them o•Jer to her importunate companion. After making several diverges, the coach stopped at her gate, and she was made to alight ; but before the p or ter, who perhaps was drowsy, Ind pulled the cordon, the coach was out of sight. The lady made the next morning a statement to the Prefect of Police of her night's adventure. She was informed that an information had been received at the office from a liveryman in the Rue de l'Universite, that one of hie carriages had been run away with on the preceding evening, but whether it was the one used for the purpose of robbing the lady, or whether the audacious rogues are thereby or other wise to be detected, remains to be known. The Emma arrived at Poole, from Newfoundland, bringing the painful intelligence of the shipwreck of the Manlius, of Belfast, from Quebec to Greenock, ;:-, Golden Bay, near &- Mary's, Newfoundland, on the 9ti of Decembet.
