SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. If there were any natural analogy or relation between Lord John Russell's motion for Monday next and the 'question which it professedly calls the House together to decide, there would be no other difficulty in dealing with that motion than what was inherent in the political -subject, certainly not an easy subject, with which the words of the notice seemed prima, facie to connect it. The notice, as originally expressed, was calculated to raise in every mind a presumption that Lord John Russell is eager - to press some measure of high and urgent importance upon Parliament for the better ad ministration of the revenues of the Irish church—either that those revenues are actually to be re-distributed among the Irish Protestant clergy, or to be applied to other uses in addition to ,the support of the clergy, or to he withdrawn altogether from the clergy, and appro priated to secular objects, according to the will of the Legislature. The emphasis with which the purpose of the Noble Mover was announced, " the call of the " House " which formed a portion of it, the pomp and ostentation and air of gladness with which the 'forthcoming business of • Monday has been trumpeted through every organ of the Opposition press, as if on that day were to be achieved sonic grand victory, in which the nation felt an universal and paramount interest g all these things would lead an uninitiated observer to suppose that Lord John Russell had in view a direct legislative object—the introduction of some specific act of Parliament, or some amendment to the provisions of the Tithe Commutation Bill, now on its wav into Parliament—some measure which must make every thing give way to it, and which could not wait. Had such a construction of the Noble Lord's notice turned out to be the true one, we might have felt it our bounden duty to enter at once upon the discussion of his proposal, whenever it should be specifically explained to the public, and to have treated the question or questions involved in it with the so briety and gravity which such questions might deserve. But from the first hour at which the leader of the Op position declared his intention of having a Call of the House for Monday, it was impossible not to suspect the real purpose aimed at, and to anticipate that what ever form the motion might assume, the substance would be the solution, not.of a political, but an arithmetical problem—how to obtain a numerical majority over the Ministers. Last night, accordingly, the Noble Lord, in reply to Sir R. Peel's interrogatory of a few days' preceding, stated it as his intention to move that the House resolve into a Committee " for the purpose of considering the expediency of applying any surplus revenue of the Church of Ireland, which may not be required for the spiritual . wants of the members of that Church, to the religious and moral instruction of all classes of the community." Such, then, are the con tents of the loaded gun, the recoil of which we doubt not will be severely felt in every joint of the person who discharged it for many a long day afterwards. This is even a more preposterous proposition, with reference to the tune and circumstances under which it has been made, than that of Mr. Ward in the last Parliament, to which this same Lord J. Russell, with Lord Althorp, and all their colleagues, then so strenuously objected. It is an aggravation of the rashness of the former period, because, without one particle of evidence upon the facts which then were wanting, or of ground for safe and precise legislation with regard to the property of the Church, the resolution now threatened is more mi nutely and specifically binding upon the future free agency of Parliament than was that declaratory resolu tion of Mr, Ward, which affirmed merely that Parlia. ment might appropriate surplus Church revenues to any purposes which it approved of. This resolution goes in substance, though not in form, quite as far as the other of Mr. Ward's resolutions, which asserted in terms, while the present one of Lord J. Russell co, vertly takes for granted—the existence of such a sur plus—the proposal to act upon the premature assumption in the latter case coming from the very man who resisted with might and main the proposal to act upon the pre mitture assertion in the former, and to escape from the danger of it nominated the yet fruitless Commission. We are relieved, therefore, from any present necessity for grappling with the ostensible subject of the in tended resolution, on which, when the proper period shall arrive, we shall be found ready to re-state those opinions from which we have never flinched, in favour of a liberal and impartial policy towards all classes of our Irish fellow-subjects, in whatever concerns their intellectual, moral, and religious welfare. But that is -not now the point. Sir Robert Peel addressed a posing question to the Opposition leader, when he said to him, " Suppose we agree to your resolution for a Commit tee, are you prepared with your practical plan for car ryinginto effect the proposed appropriation of the re venue ?" No ; that we can answer for him—the Noble Lord is not. " Story ! Lord bless you, I have none to tell, Sir." " Plan ! Lord bless you. Where should the author of the condemned Dissenters' Marriage Bill find a practicable or intelligible plan beyond the petty scope of a Parliamentary manoeuvre ? The sole " practical" plan of the Noble Lord and his coadju tors is, to get up a flash majority, no matter upon what question, however absurd, however inapplicable —the less likely to be brought to the test of common sense or immediate legislation, the better—by way of showing the country " how strong we are''—how many thick-and-thin followers we can muster—how easily we can make black white by Act of Parliament, whenever the expediency of faction may require it. Were the Opposition commonly honest in this instance, and really anxious that the prize should be awarded to " good government" as contrasted with bad, what would be their conduct ? They would point but the imperfections or vices of Sir R. Peel's measures ; they would propose beqer measures of their own ; they would have now prepared and introduced some bold and extensive scheme of encouragement to merito rious pastors of those sects which belong not to the establishment, and of education for the children of the poor. Those are great " practical" measures which, however they might be opposed in some quar ters, would meet a powerful support in others, and would at least, should a Minister feel it his duty to resist them, present a fair case of manly policy in his antagonists, and an intelligible reason for retiring on the part of a defeated Cabinet. But such is not the mode of warfare for which alone the 'Whig-Radicals have shown themselves fitted. They have so contrived it by the obliquity and littleness of their movements, that no man of honour in Sir Robert Peel's place can feel otherwise, under a defeat on such ground as the Whig-Radicals have chosen, than more rivetted to to his post, and resolute to defend it to the last moment. A wise and honest Minister ought to give way, should his policy be disapproved of by the representatives of his country in Parliament. If the House of Com mons seriously and explicitly disapproved his measures, Sir Robert Peel, we dare say, would retire ; but they do no such thing, and cannot. This projected attack of Monday next is merely personal. It is obviously nothing else but a mandate from the Whigs to Sir Ro bert Peel to quit the Treasury bench, that it may be occupied by themselves. It has party (but for the Serjeant-at-arms we might say sordid faction) written in large letters on the front of it. None but a pol troon, which Sir R. Peel is not, would yield to such an: insulting challenge. He has intimated that if they stop the Supplies, he will go out—that if they pass a vote of want of confidence, assigning their reasons, he will go out ; but they have not courage for either.— Times. Lord John Russell stated last night, that on Mon- . day evening he would move that the House should resolve itself into a Committee, for the purpose of considering the expediency of applying any surplus revenue of the Church of Ireland, not required for the erection and repair of churches, or for the mainte nance of the clerical members of the Church, to the religious and moral instruction of all classes of Chris tians. Should such a surplus exist, Sir Robert Peel has pledged himself and his colleagues to oppose the application of it to any other than purposes purely ecclesiastical. Upon this question, therefore, the Op position and the Ministers join issue, and, in legal phrase,- wit tli9tiptelves upon the country. By its re sultsAie Pee./ oabinet must. stand or fall. There can. be no longer a'ny i boasting on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet, that he would rather be in the minority than in the majority on a subject of this de scription. - It - it of too much importance to be trifled with;)ri its Conse;queuoes it is likely to involve an ex tensive aiiikft:,triat k a most beneficial change in the e future destinies of Ireland ; and, we may add, in the general fortunes of the empire. The question which has thus, at length, nakedly emerged out of the de clared or latent civil wars of two centuries, by which Ireland has been wasted to the bare sinews, is one of vital interest ; not so much on the ground that it will be decisive of the power as well as the determination of Parliament to secularize any given portion of eccle siastical property, as for the consequences likely to re sult from the vote with reference to the continuation of a Church Establishment, under any denomination, in Ireland. The principle of secularization being once laid down, the next inquiry will be—what is the amount of the fund to be diverted from the hands of the Church, and the nature and the necessary extent of the service which the Church performs in that country ? Should it be ascertained that the Church is supported by immense revenues, while its doctrines arc adopted by less than one tenth of the people, the disproportion will appear to all reasonable men so monstrous, that a different appropriation must of necessity he made. It is an insult to common sense to maintain that the Church of so very small a minority of the inhabitants of a country should be upheld at the expense of the nation. It is an act of unqualified despotism, of lawless spolia tion, to concentrate in the bosom of such a Church the authority of the State, and to heap upon its sanc tuaries the wealth that had been appropriated to the maintenance of the only religion which has any pre tensions to be styled the national religion of Ireland. The fallacy of this system is too gross to be overlooked, too profligate to be pardoned, by an enlightened age. It cannot stand against public opinion, and thus we shall come speedily to the solution of the difficulties which, so far as Ireland is concerned at this moment, involve all the elements of society, not only in disorder, but in universal conflict. It is to us, consequently, highly gratif%ing to be assured that the question of " appro priation " comes on for decision before ally arrange ment can be made with reference to the Tithe Bill now before Parliament. The Catholic Church, which is in every sense the Church of the people, is sup ported by voluntary contributions. Why should the Protestant Church, which in that country is not the Church of the people, be maintained upon a different principle ? We are told, from day to day, that the wealth of Ireland is chiefly in the hands of Pro testants. If this be so, then they can carry the vo luntary- principle into effect with the greater facility ; and we tell the country candidly, that until this prin ciple shall be adopted, there will be no peace, no se curity, either for property or life, in Ireland. We are here dealing with no theoretical opinions. We are speaking simply the language of history—the certain prophecies of experience. It is difficult for an English reader to understand the feelings of extreme aversion with which the people of Ireland contemplate everything connected with their Protestant Establishment. It is, in their opinion, nothing more nor less than a standing army of occupation, distributed through all their strong, places, for the purpose of treating them as a conquered and an inferior section of the British community. The churches are the citadels of foreign masters, the clergy are but the sentinels of a hostile power, the church bells strike upon their hearts with all the melancholy associations of the curfew. Give these objects and these men what name you will, they never call be in the eyes of the Irish people anything else than the emblems and the myrmidons of an authority which they have always looked upon as the unrelenting foe of their na tional religion and independence. Deluges of blood may again be shed, the disastrous consequtnces of civil war may still paralyse industry, but the people will always look upon the Church as the enormous drag chain that has held them back in the career of civiliza tion behind every other fertile and populous territory up on the surface of the globe. It is time for Englishmen to look this long-pending question in the face, and to call for its immediate settlement. The fanatics of this country, who, unfortunately for the whole empire, have too often and too long held possession of the offices of Government, have been endeavouring for upwards of two centuries to force upon Ireland their own notions of religion.. They sent over missionaries—they founded churches--endowed them with boundless wealth— planted a University—enacted a whole code of laws for the purpose of coercing or seducing the mass of the people to become Protestants. The son was set against his father—the brother was incited to war with his brother ; personal degradation in every capacity, civil, military, scientific ; privation of fortune, loss of rank, ruin of character, the extinction even of all hope of future prosperity or reputation—these, and every other mode of persecution which the malignity of the • human mind could invent, were all brought into requisition in order to assist the Missionaries in their unholy war against the ancient and che rished religion of the Irish people. All this odious machinery has failed to produce the desired effect. The Church, a hostile army, occupies literally only the footsteps in which it stands. It is,repudiated by the nation. It is not only repudiated, but accursed by the people ; and if they could at this moment erase from their country every edifice which has been erected for the new religion, they would undoubtedly sweep them into the sea. No man of sense will be sur prised to hear that such a feeling as this exists in Ireland. It is perfectly natural, under any circum stances, that a whole community should view with hor ror and disgust any proceedings calculated to force upon them a religion of which they do not approve. But when these proceedings are favoured by the Go vernment of this country--when they are made up of war, and bloodshed, and confiscation, and conducted by such men as a Roden, a Verner, a Sullivan, and a Boy ton, who bear in one hand the Bible and in the other the flaming torch—now to light the cannon, now to convert the town into one mass of conflagra tion—who, we ask, can feel; if he have the heart of a man, and the knowledge of a Christian, that such pro fanations as these were ever intended to propagate the tenets of the Gospel I They do but talk to the storm who pour forth Acts of Parliament against the resist ance to Protestantism, which lives throughout every fibre of the multitude of the Irish people. The Church is the prolific source of all the discord, of the unexampled misery which prey upon the peace and mar the prosperity of that country. It is, indeed, called by courtesy one of the three United King doms. It is united with us by the law, but it is divorced from us by the Church‘; and we may feel assured that until that Church is utterly extin guished as a State Establishment, the union be tween the British Islands will be a mere fiction. It is upon the first blush of the thing--even if we be not instructed by the results of the experiment which has been going on for two hundred years—a specimen of the worst kind of folly to attempt to impose upon seven millions of people a Church to which only half a million of their country men belong at the utmost. In what consists the jus tice of such a transaction as this ? Where are we to look for its policy ? Is it consistent with the consci entious principles of a Protestant, who assumes to himself the right of interpreting the Scriptures accor ding to the dictates of his own reason, to compel other men to accent that interpretation ? Nothing can be more iniquitous or more incompatible with the Pro testant principle than any attempt of this nature—and yet this attempt has been for many generations, and is at this moment, the law of Ireland. It is a mere em bryo attempt, and nothing more ; for it has never yet acquired the maturity of success ; and if it were to be persevered in for a thousand years, it would not gain one degree in the way of progress beyond its present condition of entire and irrecoverable failure.—Morn ing Chronicle. A dinner is to he given this day to Lord John Russell by the Reform Members of the House of Commons who are opposed to Toryism in all its shapes and phases, and have uniformly supported his Lordship on every occasion on which he has deemed it proper to try, and most successfully to try, the strength of the Reform against the Tory interest of the house of Commons ; and never, we will venture to affirm, did the leader of an opposition, on the one hand, so amply deserve the honour which is to be paid to him, or the givers of an entertainment confer it with greaterpleasure and delight. Lord John Russell is entitled to the honour on every imaginable ground. It was he who brought in the Reform Bill, though the state of his health would not permit him to carry it through the House—it was he who first introduced the claims of the Dis senters to the notice of the British Legislature—it was he who, as a Cabinet Minister, first propounded the proposition that Church property was public pro perty, and that any surplus beyond what was neces sary for the support of religious institutions might, without any breach of public faith, be applied to State iiurposes—it is he who has led the liberal Opposition on to victory, day after day, and night after night, without even , one failure ; and it is he, as we almost know, who, upon the question of the Irish Church, will again lead on to victory, and put to flight the un principled creatures who seized the helm of the State vessel in a time of profound peace, and when no on called for change, and every one was satisfied that im portant Reforms were in preparation, and would un questionably be given to the country. The dinner will, in consequence, furnish an opportunity for the manifestation of much public and joyous feeling ; and, although we are aware that there are many Members who are now necessarily absent from town, yet we have every reason to believe that there will be such a muster of the liberal force as has never been sea on any pre vious occasion. Lord Morpeth takes the Chair, and is supported by a numerous and respectable body of Stewards, consisting of the most liberal Members of the Scotch, Irish, and English representation. — Morning Advertiser. There were numerous reports afloat yesterday, re specting the resignation of Sir Robert Peel, and the cause that had accelerated the probability of that long expected event. We understand that Sir Robert, worn out beyond all hope, was anxious to resign at once, fearful of the events of Monday next. At length, as was hinted, the " advice of friends," and the love of place, prevailed over the fears, and, we think, the better feelings of the Right Hon. Baro net ; and he consented to remain in office, to bear the brunt of that eventful day. But never did man deserve so much pity-:--or rather, perhap3, never did man appear so piteous—as Sir Robert -Peel. did yes ternight in the House of Commons. There was not an easy inch in the whole extent of the Treasury Bench—not a favourite point at which the weary mind of the woe-begone Premier could find half so sweet repose as the" gipsy feels when pillowed on the heath and exposed to all the malice -of the sky. His party had deserted him on the former evening, and, gone over to the enemy's camp, not in chance individuals, but absolutely en masse, and. he wist not very well. what to do with them. Some promises which had not been realised, are understood to hate held him b:ck, in the early part of the day, from tendering the seals of his office to the King ; but he had evidently been de-' serted by those in whom he had put confidence; and the disappointment which lie felt was of the most bit ter and agonising character. Perhaps there never was a man in more agony in a public assembly ; and his aspect was the most haggard and woe-begone that ever was apparent in a Minister. He attempted by a long personal interview to win Lord Stanley to his purpose; but that Noble Lord is said to be looking out for him self ; and thu s h e h as no b owe l s f o r the Minister and his adherents. In conclusion, we need not point par ticular attention to the manly and masterly speech of the Hon. E. Ellice, which did more to vindicate tile honour of the country, and put down the machinations of the Tories, than any other we can readily name.— Morning Advertiser. • The threatened opposition to the vote of the Army Estimates exploded, it will be seen, innocuously last night in the House of Commons, as former threats have done, and the necessary service of the country has again escaped the obstructions of faction. Indeed, the result is as demonstrative of the real weakness of the Opposition as a body, as it is creditable to a por tion of it for the moderate opinions expressed upon the occaSion. In Parliamentary combination, above all others, organisation is strength, and disunion weakness. Divided, distracted, agreeing in no object, and assuredly influenced by no common principle, if by any at all, the guerilla tactics of the Opposition may harass, but ought not to dishearten a resolute Government. It was shown that the safety of the country, the preservation of the'colOnies, the state of Ireland, the subsistence of the pensioners, and the police of the army, required the immediate adoption of the Estimates ; but all this ap ' peared to be raison de plus for Mr. Hume to oppose them. The very urgency of the case appeared to give him an advantage of which he made ungenerous use. It is difficult to conceive a worse reason for debating an abstract question (for under Tories or Whigs the army must be maintained) than this. Our readers will, how ever, perceive that the good sense of the House over powered the Opposition, and the Estimates, though with varying fortunes as to the acceptation of some of the items, were proceeded with. We would call atten tion to the question asked by Colonel Evans respecting the reported acknowledgment of independence of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Lord Mahon declined to give any information upon the sub ject, requesting that the inquiry might be postponed till the whole subject of our relations with Russia should be brought before the House. If it be true that these Principalities are recognised as independent it will be a boon to the Continent, as supplying a barrier against the intrusion of Russia into Turkey, for they lie between the two countries. They have for a long time been subject to the Porte, but their de pendence was little more than nominal. A great deal will, however, depend upon the terms on which their independence has been recognised. These we may ex pect to learn shortly in an official and authentic shape. —Morning Herald. Lord John Russell threw last night a faint and un certain glimmer of light upon the object of his long threatened motion, which stands for Monday, on the question of the surplus revenues o f th e I r i s h Church. - It is to be a motion, it seems, for the purpose of con sidering the expediency of applying the surplus revenue of the Irish Church, after providing for the necessary wants of the Establishment, to promote the moral and religious instruction of the Irish people. To those who do not know what .kind of statesmen and men of business the persons are who take upon them the duty, at the present moment, of consuming the time of Par liament, and preventing, to the utmost of their power, his Majesty's Ministers from carrying into effect the numerous measures of substantial and practical Reform they have introduced, or are preparing, this motion would seem to imply that the Noble Mover was pre pared, in the event of his succeeding in getting his Committee, with some definite plan for the application of the assumed surplus of Irish Church revenue to the purposes recommended. It seems, however, from his Lordship's reply to a question from Sir Robert Peel, that the necessity of considering any such plan has r Ro o un n s c ts e he lel e ms n a t oi e dt r i e ot d nn at tihneitfno the , it w s c uo o lud n s t ob e e m w p foo l n a l tl t o i oNivtiliet.do up poombr by n o i vh t t el e s L o o m rd e si o li te p h c r proposition.alinots strike out ou r ao plan doubts that I at the ? moment, his there are several of his allies who can. Mr. O'Con nell upon such a subject will always be ready at a pinch ; or, if his late fit of senatorial languor should not by that time be shaken off; or if the Dublin Election Committee should occupy too much of his thoughts, what joint of the tail but would be most eager and most happy to hazard an improvisation at a moment so auspicious ? Lord John Russell may perhaps get his Committee, but never did any statesman so lamen tably miscalculate his position and his power if he imagines that he will be the man to guide its proceed ings.—ln the event, which we by no means expect, of the House of Commons agreeing to so unmeaning a motion as that which Lord John Russell has announced, we do not know that the Conservative Members of the House could do anything so well calculated to expose to the country the character, the objects, the incompe tency, and the discord of their confederated opponents as to leave them to themselves for a day or tWo to ma nage their Committee as they like. The scenes which could scarcely fail to ensue, would be of the most edi fying character, and there is this further very strong re commendation of the mode of proceeding which we suggest, that none of the resolutions of the Committee until confirmed by the House, would be of the least value.—Morning Post. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland has had the rank of General of Cavalry conferred on him by the King of Prussia. A splendid Court fete was recently given at Berlin by His Majesty, to comrnernurate the natal day of her Royal Highr.ess the Duchess, who with Prince George, are expected next month at Kew Palace, after an absence of two years on the Continent. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His HONOUR was engaged all the morning in hearing unopposed petitions, of which there was a very long list ; but the only one that possess , ,d any public interest was— EXPARTE FAUNTLEROY. Mr. TURNER for the petitioners, J. J. Fauntleroy and J. Watson, stated that these gentlemen purchased from Lord Blessiugton, in 1816, an annuity of 5001. a year for 99 years, if they and W. Watson should so long live. This annuity was granted in trust for them in certain proportions to Henry Fauntleroy, the banker, whose conviction for forgery in 1824 is well known to the public. Upon his execution the annuity of course became forfeited to the Crown, and hitherto applications on account of it had to be made from time to time to the Treasury. However, in June last, the 4th and sth Wm. IV., c. 23. was passed, for the amendment of the law relative to the escheat and forfeiture of property holden i❑ trust by persons dying without heirs, or convicted of felony. This was the first application under the Act. The parties beneficially en titled now sought to have a new trustee appointed. His HONOUR directed the usual reference to the Master. After having gone through the unopposed petitions his Honour took motions. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1835, KAY V. MARSHALL. In this cause Mr. KNIGHT moved that the defendants should be at liberty to file a demurrer, the twelve days al lowed for that purpose having already expired. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, a machine maker, against the de fendants, who are extensive flax-dressers at Leeds. The plaintiff stated himself to be the inventor of new and im proved machines for preparing and spinning flax, hemp, and other fibrous substances by power, for which he obtained a patent, and he charged the defendants with infringing this patent ; and sought an injunction against them. Mr. KINDERSLEY, for the plaintiff, resisted the applica tion.—Motion refused, with costs. LYON MITCHELL. This was the petition of Lord Kihnaine, praying that the dividends of 11,0001. might be paid to him for the maintenance and education of his children. The petition stated that his Lordship had married a daughter of Mr. Lyon, who, at the period of the marriage, had settled upon the lady 40,0001. for the benefit of herself and her children. By his will, however, Mr. Lyon bequeathed to each of his daughters 50,0001., and wishing to . equalize their portions, he increased Lady Kihuaine's fortune by a bequest of 10,0001. to 50,000/. The ground of the present applica tian was, that his Lordship had eight children, and as a Peer of the realm he was obliged to keep up a more expen sive establishment than a commoner, likewise that his own income amounting to only 5,6001. per annum, it *atmc necessary to make the present application for payment of what was clue on the sum in question. The prayer of the petition was granted without any re ference to the Master. SURREY SESSIONS. Mary Johnson, a tall thin woman, of emaciated appear ance, was indicted for stealing a shaft iron, the property of James Macintosh, a coachmaker, at Newington. Guilty. The Chairman sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour at Brixton. ATTEMPT TO BREAK PRISON.—On the preceding day, a man named Reed pleaded guilty to an indictment for horse-stealing. He was sentenced to be transported for life, and was subsequently placed under confinement in the county gaol. In the course of Thursday night he attempt ed to escape from the prison, by sawing the iron bars of his cell with an iron instrument. He managed to cut through two bars, and would in all probability have succeeded in serering a sufficient number to allow of his escape, had it not been that the handle of the tool with which he worked was of too large a size to enter with the necessary ease be tween the bars, Had he, however, succeeded in getting out of the cell, he must have alighted in the yard which surrounds the gaol, and as watchmen are placed there of a night, his recapture would have been inevitable. The in strument with which he attempted to escape, was found concealed under his bed next morning. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. -LANCASTER, MARCH 25. REX V. COOKSON AND OTHERS. This was an indictment for riot and assault arising out of the lately contested election of Members to serve in Par liament for the borough of Preston, in this county. Se veral indictments were preferred by the different parties in the town against their opponents. In the present case there were seven defendants—namely, Cookson, Wearing, Hutchinson, Proctor s Dickenson, Preston, and Rhodes, young men in the lower ranks of life, who had been em ployed in subordinate offices during the election. The first named six were defended by Mr. Rushton, and Rhodes by Mr. Starkie. The prosecution was conducted by Dr. BROWN, assisted by Mr. BR ANDT. The Learned DOCTOR, in his statement of the case to the Jury, observed that the offence now comnlained of was cothmitted on the first day of the last election for Pres ton, which commenced on Thursday, the eighth day of January. The borough of Preston enjoys a more ex tended elective franchise, than almost any other place in the kingdom ; but it was not wide enough to satisfy all, for he believed that the people of Preston had formed such an idea of universal suffrage, that it ought in their opinion to be extended not only to all the men, but to all the females also. In 1830 the once well-known Mr. Hunt was a candidate, and a most outrageous row took place, such as no party desired to see repeated at any time, and to prevent the recurrence of such scenes, it was agreed that the persons employed by the various candidates in the business of the election should wear caps of the colour of their respective parties. Three candidates appeared in the field, Mr. Hesketh Fleetwood and Captain Stanley, who were successful, and Mr. Smith, a bookseller, of Liverpool. There was also a fourth candidate, a Mr. Thompson, who did not, however, make his appearance in person. Fleetwood's men wore blue caps ; Stanley's, yellow ; and Smith's and Thompson's, red. For some time things went on pretty amicably, but it so happened that a party of the red caps, parading the streets, met the blue caps, on a similar errand, near an inn called the Fighting Cocks. An encounter ensued, stones were thrown, heads broken, and fortunately more damage done to the skulls than the brains, though many of the former were severely dealt with. In addition to the pelting, weavers' irons, axes, and hammers were put in requisition, and among other things an unoffending cart was chopped partly to pieces. In short, the outrages were of a very violent character, as would be proved be yond doubt. The men now on trial wore red caps. Mr. STARKIE addressed the Jury on behalf of the pri soner Rhodes, and Mr. RUSHTON on behalf of the other prisoners. The Jury did not deliver their verdict till they had deci ded upon all their verdicts, when they declared Rhodes, Cookson, and Preston, Not Guilty ; and Wearing, Proctor, Hutchinson, and Dickenson, Guilty. His Lordship said he should hear the whole of the cases before he passed sentence. At a late hour, a party consisting of six, of the blue caps were arraigned, and pleaded" Not Guilty." The remainder of the trials aac expected to take place to-morrow. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-SHREWSBURY, MARCH 25. THE KING V. RICHARD ASTERLEY. The prisoner, an attorney living at Shrewsbury, was in dicted for obtaining money under false pretences. The circumstances of the case were these :—On the 15th of last July one Thomas Penryhn, who kept a beer-shop in Shrewsbury, was convicted in the penalty of 405., for an offence against the Beer Act. The defendant attended for him before the magistrates, and was paid ss. 6d. A month's time was allowed to Penryhn to pay the penalty. On the 6th of August the defendant came. to Penryhn's house and told his daughter that he had prevailed upon the deputy recorder (Mr. Bather) and the clerk to the justices (Mr. Loxdale) to remit a part of the penalty which had been imposed upon another person convicted of a similar offence, and that if she would give him a sovereign he would go and do the same thing for her father. Her mother gave him a sovereign, and two sixpences for himself. In the course of an hour he returned, and stated that he had succeeded, and had got the penalty reduced, and that it was all right. He then received Is. 6d. more for his trouble on this occasion. In point of fact, the penalty had not been remitted in either case , the defendant did not see or communicate with Mr. Bather or Mr. Loxdale, but kept the sovereign himself, and Penrhyn was compelled to pay the full penalty in which he had been convicted, on the '23d of September. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and Mr. Justice PARK sentenced ,him to seven years' trans portation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SWlNDLlNG.—Frederick Seigneur, a German, who has been in custody here before for a similar offence, was yes terday charged with stealing a new cloak, coat, and other articles of wearing apparel. The prisoner and a man named Smith, who appear to be acting in concert, resided at No. 7, Mary -street, Hamp stead-road. Smith went to the shop of Me: Davies, a tailor, in Oxford-street, and ordered a h an d some c l oa k an d s uit of clothes to be sent home, and to be paid for on de livery. On the sbopman going with the articles, both Smith and the prisoner were present. They agreed that the trousers did not fit, and sent the man for another pair, desiring him to leave the other articles. On his return the gentleman had absconded with the articles, and the pri soner pretended to be a stranger to him. Mr. CONANT had no doubt they were acting in concert I together, to defraud the public. He remanded him for a I week, as he had been here before, on a similar charge. Q UEEN- SQUARE. Yesterday a numl;e'r of the inhabitants of Chelsea, and the out-ward of St. George's, Hanover-square, appeared before . Messrs. WHITE and BURRELL, to answer to sum monses issued against them by Dubois, the collector under the Grosvenor Local Act, for non-payment of rates for pacing, cleansing, and lighting. A person named Redgrave, a collector appointed by the trustees of the Grosvenor Act, had become a defaulter to the amount of 1,1001., being the amount of boxes collected by him, which fact Dubois admitted, as Well as that Red grave's account-books had not been posted for a long time previous to the defalcation having been discovered ; adding at the same time, that this circumstance had frequently been taken advantage of by persons in arrears. Mr. Collins was summoned for ten quarters The defendent pleaded that two quarters had been paid to Redgrave, but unfortunately the receipts were missing. His wife, however, could testify upon oath as to the pay ment. Mr. Gregorie under the circumstances, should only make the order for eight quarters. _ Mr. Scrivens appeared to_ answer a demand of twelve quarters' due. Defendant objected strongly against the claim, alleging that in the place he occupied, there was only a single lamp for the whole street; in addition to which the premises were a farrier's shop and yard, upon which he did not re side, and derived no benefit whatever from the provisions of the Act. The Magistrates directed an order for twelve quarters. Several other inhabitants appeared under similar circum stances. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday. Mr. N. GrUfitbs, a ship-agent and broker of Water-lane, Tower -street, appeared before Mr. BENETT, the sitting Magistrate, to show cause why he refused to pay 81. 19s. 6d., claimed by Mr. J. Allen, a branch pilot of ;le Trinity House, for piloting the schooner Barclay from London to the Downs.. The case was portion:, heard on a former day, and as the case . involved a question of some importance to brokers respecting their liability to pay the pilotage of ships of which they have become agents, the Magiitrate gave the defendant an opportunity to bring his, solicitor to argue the point, but he did not avail himself of it. Mr. Allen having proved the service fn. which he claimed payment, Mr. Griffiths contended that the demand ought to be made on the owner and not on the agent. _ _ The pilot said the captain was owner, and had gone to sea. Mr. BENETT, on referring to the Act of Geo. IV., cap. 825, said the 44th section enacts that pilots should recover from the agent or consignee, who shall have paid, or made themselves liable to pay, any other charge for the ship or vessel in the port of her arrival or delivery the amount of his pilotage. Mr. Griffiths then said, there was no proof that he had acted as agent or broker to the vessel. Mr. BENETT could not act without that proof. The pilot was not prepared with the necessary proof, for he did not expect such an objection to be taken ; but if time was given, he could bring evidence to show that Mr. Griffiths had cleared the ship outwards, and paid the Tri nity lights. Mr. BENETT put it to Mr. Griffiths whether he would give the pilot that trouble ? He was not bound to admit any thing ; bilt much time would be saved if he admitted his agency. • Mr. Griffiths was inclined to admit nothing, as the case was one of great interest to all ship-brokers, and he should certainly appeal against the decision. He ultimately said he would admit the agency, and allowed that he had cleared the vessel at the Custom-house, and paid the lights. Mr. BENETT ordered the defendant to pay .the sum claimed, and costs, which was done. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Thursday evening, an inquest was held at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital,on view of the body of C. Ballard, aged 31. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Wood and Shearwood, printers' brokers and type manufacturers, No. 16, Chiswell-street, Finsbury-square. On Wednesday, the deceased was as sisting in the removal of a large fly-wheel belonging to a printing establishment, in 80lt -court, Fleet-street. Whilst so engaged, by some means the wheel flew round, and striking the deceased's head, literally smashed it between itself and a wall. The unhappy sufferer instantly fell mo tionless, and a surgeon was promptly in attendance, but his services were unavailing, death ensuing in the coach in which he was being conveyed to the above hospital. There being no blame attributable to any party. the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." Thursday an inquest was held at the Middlesex Hos pital, before Mr. Stirling, on view of the body of Mrs. Norah Ross, aged 63. It appeared from the evidene that on Monday the deceased was entering the front gate of the hospital, when she was knocked down by a cart and horse, and severely injured. The medical gentlemen at tached to the establishment rendered their utmost services to the unfortunate old lady, but the shock her constitution had sustained was so great that she rapidly sunk, and died on the following day. The horse and cart belonged to Mr. George Muddock ,grocer lof No. 175, High-street, Shore ditch, and was left in charge Of a boy at the door of Mr. King, paper stainer, of No. 32, Berners-street, Ox,orti street, who not being accustomed to such became frightened, and having let the reins out of his hand the animal ran off at full speed, and occasioned the fatal accident. Verdict, " Accidental death." EXECUTION. On Tuesday morning George Watts, aged 17, and Wil liam Winter, aged 21, were executed in front of Fisherton gaol, Wilts, the former for setting fire to premises, and the latter for setting fire to a hay-rick. A third prisoner, named John Wilmot, had also been sentenced to death for burglary and stabbing a constable, but, through the humane exer tions of the Chaplain of the prison, who is also the Vicar of Kington St. Michael, in whose house the burglary was_ committed, a respite was, with considerable difficulty, ob tained for him. The conduct of Watts, from the moment of his condemnation to his execution, was becoming his awful situation. On his return to his cell, after his trial, he made a full confession of his guilt, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and gave himself up to penitence and prayer. It was matter of surprise to the Reverend Chaplain and others that a boy of his age, who had led such a profligate life, should have been so conversant with the Scriptures. It has been said that there is scarcely a passage in the Bible but he could refer to. He attributed his disgraceful end to drunkenness, and Sab bath-breaking. The conduct of Winter, after his trial, presented a striking contrast to that of Watts. He per sisted throughout in denying his guilt„ _and his last words on the scaffold were an asseveration of bisinnocence. Both prisoners partook of the Sacrament a short time before their execution ; and in a small room, near the scaffold, they af terwards knelt down with the chaplain in appropriate pray ers. Watts followed the chaplain with great devotion. Winter also joined in the Lord's Prayer. Previous to Winter ascending the scaffold, the chaplain earnestly be seeched him to say nothing more of his innocence, as if he really were innocent it could make no difference in his earthly punishment. " Bear in mind (said the Rev. Gen tleman) that in a few moments you will have to appear before your Maker, and beware, 0, beware of leaving this world with a lie in your mouth !" Winter stared with evident surprise at the request, but did not say a word in reply. His hands having been pinioned he ran quickly up the scaffold, and gazed vacantly upon the immense multi• tude beneath him. Watts, on ascending the drop, ad dressed those assembled at some length, and enjoined them to take warning by his miserable end. Winter then said, whilst the rope was round his neck, " Brothers and sisters ! I never did the crime I am to suffer for, nor do I know who did it ; I (lie innocent." These were the only words he uttered on the scaffold, and they occasioned a thrill of horror through all who heard them. THE LATE MR. HENRY BATLEY.— . IIIe body of this unfortunate individual, who was drowned while engaged in the humane endeavour to save a child from that fate, as mentioned in our last, has not yet been found, although unre mitting search has been made in the river for it, and a rewa' d of 101. for its recovery has been offered. A party of men a: e to commence at an early hour in the morn'ng to drag from a certain point down the river to Mode-wheel. Our readers, we are sure, will be gratified to learn that the subscription on be half of poor Bailey's bereaved family, is advancing very favour ably. We are Informed that about 7501. were lodged in the bank up to Thursday night. Mrs. Bailey is reported to have become somewhat more tranquil, but she remains in a pre carious state.—Manchester Advertiser. At Antrim, on Saturday last. a great number of Orangemen were arraigned for walking in procession, on the 12th of July last, in violation of the Statute. The nam sof between 30'and 40 were called on from Lisburn, Ballymoney, and Portglenone, the greater number of whom made their appearance. The Cambridge Chronicle insinuates a contradiction to the opinion generally entertained and acted upon, that mar riage by banns can be solemnized on Sundays only. If the public be in error on this point, the practice of the parsons proves something very like an evasion of duty.against Mother Church. IRISH BUTTER.—The last accounts from Jamaica state that a bill bad been introduced laying a tax upon imports, and fixing a duty of half a dollar ou every firkin of Irish butter, which was vigorously opposed by Mr. M'Dowell, member for Port Royal, an Irishman.
