• - SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The House of Commons last night adjourned till the 12th of May. In the House of Lords it is un derstood that no public business is to be transacted until the same day. Thus, then, we have the whole business of the state obstructed and suspended—and why ?—For no other assignable reason than that a party may take vengeance upon the King for abruptly dis missing them from offices which the voice of the coun try had already declared them incompetent to fill,— unless, indeed, we may add this other reason, —namely, that over and above the gratification of not very cre ditable resentment, an exasperated faction has thought it necessary to mark their passion and their power by thrusting into the Administration of the most important trusts the most inefficient and incapable of public men. For a time—it must be very short—puppets may be pulled to give themselves any, even the most unbecom ing airs, with the unanimous applause of those for whose profit or whose pleasure they live and move and have their being : but that they can strut even their brief hour upon the stage with impunity is not within the bounds of possibility. Punch is made of wood, and the simplest clown in the crowd will discover the fact sooner or later. And in the mean time, what is it supposed that the country will think of such an expe riment ? Can any of those who are so fond of talking about " following up the Reform Act," imagine that the people did not expect, as the chiefest among the beneficial results of that measure, their riddance of the ruinous and disgraceful system of administering the business of the State for the triumph or the subsidi- zing of political parties instead of for the welfare of the community ? They who foster this vain surmise are egregiously deceiving themselves. The people have learned at last, that so long as the Government of this country is made an affair of party or of faction, the chances are that business will be transacted as expen sively as possible, and ill or well as the members of the predominant section and their dependents may happen to be skilful or clumsy, experienced or ignorant. Jockies tell us that " a good horse can never be of a bad colour;" but on the political turf the maxim is re versed. There the colour of the animal is the test of his excellence. A Whig, though on his last legs, will be backed by his own party for strength and sta mina against the youngest and soundest Tory. Nor is this surprising when we consider the mode in which good and evil are judged in this sphere. It was the founder of the Cynics, we believe, who sug gested that " asses should be voted to be horses." When his proposition was ridiculed, he answered— " Why, my suggestion is not a jot more absurd than your practice ; for you every day elect to offices men who have no other qualification to fill them than your votes confer." Let our readers look at the names of some of the existing Ministry, and tell us if modern practice with reference to advancement in the State has not surpassed the Cynic's scheme for promotion in the stable. Now all this would be amusing only, if the results were not of a character to move to shame rather than to laughter. It happens unfortunately for the honour of the nation, and for its interests, that while it is forbidden alike to the King and to the people to choose the best public servants from whatever party — while the choice is restricted to one party, no matter what their character, or what their capabilities—there is, in the first place, no security that even efficient, much less that the most efficient, men will be selected to fill the most important offices. Secondly, all expe rience has demonstrated that the chief object of a mere party in power is to secure themselves in their posts, and to provide for their relatives, friends and dependents, even in the most remote degree. Lucky is that coun try which, having paid so dearly for a government, finds that at last its servants will think of their duty to the people when their own personal satisfaction and that of their party leaves them leisure to bestow a thought upon anything unconnected with aggrandize ment or emolument. Again, then, we ask, who is it that supposes the country cares aught about political nicknames,—that they desire anything but the ad vancement of the common good,—that they will be contented with the services of any but the best public men, who are willing to devote their time and talent to the business of the State ? For our own parts, we have no hesitation in expressing our conviction, that but one answer can be given to these questions. We have no doubt that the public voice will re-echo our de claration, that the time is at length arrived when the fittest men must he selected for office, without reference to conventional, or party, or factious distinctions. The country is sick and tired of furnishing the stakes for which political adventurers play ; and of all substantial reforms this is perhaps the most desirable reformation, both for the interests of the nation and the character of public men.— Times. It is quite clear that the Whig-Radical Ministry cannot move a step without the assistance of the Irish "tail." To it they must hold for support, and should they halt or flag in their downward path to the politi q. Avernus, the tail will lash them on, and the repeal agitator will insist upon their uncomplaining submis sion, without paying the slightest regard to the Act for the abolition of slavery. That formidable instru ment of discipline and castigation which is held over the bare shoulders of galley slaves at their daily la bour, is not more unsparingly applied to quicken the flagging movements of the oar, than the " tail" will be wielded in the vigorous grasp of O'Connell, to remind the Whig Ministers that he is their task-master, and that they must row in whatever direction he pleases, or smart for their disobedience. It is curious and melancholy to observe that Lord Melbourne and his colleagues Were, almost to a man, members of that Cabinet which agreed to denounce O'Connell, not very long ago, in the speech from the throne—a most undignified and disgraceful proceeding ; and now, what a change ! those very Ministers wriggle their serpentine course beneath the fascination of his glance, being conscious that the moment they dare to deviate from the line of policy which he points out, that moment they draw upon themselves a castigation such as the monks of the order of Flagellantes never endured ; and if it does not work their thorough refor mation, he cruhes them for ever. It is the sorry boast of Lord John Russell, to the electors of Devonshire, that he was placed at the head of the largest and most powerful Opposition that ever was united against a Minister of the Crown. But Lord John was only the nominal leader of that motley band of recreant Whigs, and fierce Radicals, and Irish Repealers—the real leader was Mr. O'Connell, who, according to his own account, came to London before the opening of the Session, " expressly to organize the Opposition to the re-election of Sir Charles Manners Sutton to the Speaker's Chair." If Lord John, during his nominal leadership, had ventured to swerve from the course chalked out by Mr. O'Connell, he would have soon found, that though at the head of the " largest and most powerful Opposition that ever was united against a Minister of the Crown," he was still a very small, a very powerless, and a very insignificant person. He who denounced the "brutal and bloody Whig speech" from the Throne, as he designated it, when the Whigs were in their high and flourishing condition, with Lord Grey at their head, would soon have silenced the tiny voice, and extinguished the little leadership of Lord John, if, imagining for a moment his situation as nominal leader to be a reality, he had dared to forget that the repeal-agitator was the Jupiter of the faction, whose word was fate, and whose nod shook the whole Olympus of the Whigs. Lord John Russell, in his address, has the modesty to set up his pretensions to public support as a reformer, as one of very long stand ing, compared with others who have but recently come into the field. Yet it was long after Lord John came to man's estate that he wrote a book to refute and ridi cule the claims of Parliamentary Reformers to any ge neral measure for the correction and purification of the representative system. He was then opposed most vehemently to the disfranchisement of the rotten Bo roughs. He even endeavoured to prove their useful ness, and to show what admirable contrivances they were for bringing those bashful talents into Parliament which could not stand the rude gaze, or answer the ruder inter rogatories of a popular assemblage. So much for Lord John's claims to consistency on the subject of Parlia mentary Reform. The same power which subse quently compelled him and his Whig colleagues to concede the question of Negro Emancipation, which they long endeavoured to evade, drove them to enforce, by the Reforrn Act, as a means of keeping themselves in office, the principle of a general disfranchisement of the nomination boroughs, which the Whigs had, at all former times, most zealously opposed. Whatever other virtues, therefore, the Whigs may possess, it is quite certain that consistency is not one, and the less they say about it the better. Lord John may boast that the monstrous coalition of parties that cordially hate and despise each other have succeeded in driving Sir Robert Peel's Administration from office—he may boast that the whole of the public business of the country during the Session has been impeded from the opening of Parliament up to the Easter recess—he may also boast that in consequence of those factious proceedings no public business is to be proceeded with until the 12th of May. But by and by the country will find out, if it has not already, that too high a price has been paid to restore Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell to the Treasury benches, and to make Mr. O'Connell dictator over them.—Morning Herald. The proceedings of yesterday in the House o Commons were of some interest. Lord Morpeth, i appears, has accepted the Chiltern Hundred , , as a step ping-stone to the Irish Secretaryship. The occasion for this extraordinary proceos in the manufacture of a Secretary for Ireland was not satisfactorily explained, and will probably turn out to be the first fruit of that rich harvest of blunders of which Whig Administra tions have, in all times, been so prolific. Mr. O'Con nell, it will be seen, displayed that kind of temper which generally characterizes men who feel that they are in a false or equivocal position. It would have been much better for him and for Lord Melbourne had he been enabled to explain the speech which that Nobleman delivered in the House of Lords on Satur day, in such a way as to reconcile it with the support Which he intends for the present to give to the ex isting Administration ; and to reconcile, at the same time, that support with his violent opposition to the same men when in power a few months ago, and with his own most recent speeches in Ireland. Some writs were moved for in consequence of new appointments, the only one calling for remark be ing that for Inverness, in the room of Mr. C. Grant, who is to be Secretary for the Colonies. The remark able circumstance connected with this motion is, that Mr. C. Grant is not to be a candidate for the county which he vacates, but is to be called to the Upper House of Parliament, his claim to the Peerage being, not talent, not services to the State, not personal cha racter, not fortune, not position in society, not the fa vour of the Crown, but the certainty, merely, that neither the electors of Inverness nor any other consti tuency in Great Britain or Ireland would elect Mr. Charles Grant, the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, as their representative in the House of Commons. This is an entirely new species of eleva• tion to the Peerage, the advantage and convenience of which the Administration of Loid Melbourne has the entire merit of having discovered. A very remarkable notice of motion was given by Mr. Slid. The Honourable and Learned Member, speaking from the Treasury Bench, announced that on the first day after the recess he should move that " No person who should be appointed to an ecclesjastical dignity should be considered to have any vested intei est in it which would entitle him to compensation, in case it should subsequently be sup pressed." We suppose that after this the design of the Popish party to degrade and enfeeble the Church of England will no longer be disputed. This is in effect a motion to reduce the Clergy of the Church of England by degrees to a total and absolute dependence on the Roman Catholic party in the House of Coin irons. That this notice has been given with the con currence of Mr. O'Connell there cannot be much doubt. But has this early step been taken in ven geance for Lord Melbourne's speech ? Or is it taken to show to the country that the Melbourne Administra tion, notwithstanding that speech, are prepared to go all lengths in submission to the O'Connell faction ? We are anxious to know whether the Ministers of the Crown in the House of Commons will support this, motion or oppose it ; and, especially, we should like to know what Lord John Russell now thinks of the allies by whose assistencce he has forced himself and his col leagues into place. The rebuke administered to Mr. Sheil by Sir R. Inglis on the occasion of this signifi cant notice was forcible and just, as what fats from Sir It. Inglis always is. Sir R. Inglis merely remarked that on Mr. Sheil making this motion he would move that the oath by which this Roman Catholic Membei' of Parliament, on his admission to the House, had sworn not to interfere with the rights or endowments of the Church of England, should be read. Persons who regard oaths as of any validity will feel all the poig nancy of this rebuke ; but, by 'Mr. Sheil, or that sec tion of the supporters of his Majesty's present Go vernment to which Mr. Sheil belongs, we question if it were felt at all. The oath may be read; and it will now be laughed at openly, as it was laughed at in secret at the period when it was solemnly imposed by the Legislature as a protection to the Church. The time is visibly approaching, if it has not already ar rived, when even Lord John Russell, unscrupulous and reckless as he is, must perceive that he has purchased the support of the Roman Catholic faction at a higher price than it is worth, and, we may add, when the peo ple of great Britain will perceive that no administra tion having such support can be worthy of their con fidence.--Morning Post. There is a leading article in the first number of the London Review, just published, which is not destitthe of ability nor of mark, though deteriorated somewhat by a tone of pretence which it assumes, and by an in adequacy to realize the anticipations which it creates, and the prospects which it opens out. There is nothing especially new in the leading arguments of this paper, or rather we might perhaps say, without any assumption on our part, that the basis of the whole structure of the paper is founded on a dis tinction, which we somewhat suspect the author to have borrowed from a hint of ours—that of " The Plunderers and the Plundered." Neither party, as we have stated in similar words, have just reason to repudiate the nicknames lately attached to them ; the Conservatives being Conservatives of abuses, and on that account the enemies to the permanence of the institutions of the country ; and the Destructives being destructives of abuses, and consequently their best friends. The author of this paper, after some diatribes on the unreasoning character of late Houses of Com mons, with which we do not entirely agree, has the following smart passage on the subject of another class of nicknames resorted to, to protect the plunderers while in the act of pursuing their old avocation of dip ping into the pockets of the plundered :—" The in struments which are chiefly made use of in Parliament, to cover the renunciation of reason, and render it some what less palpable, are a set of hack phrases, serving each of them as a wrapper for a little parcel of sophis try. Thus we have ' not speculation, but practice'— as much as to say, act like a beast, and not one of the best of beasts, a 'blind horse in a mill ; Wisdom of ancestors,'—as if ancientness.of error were better than truth, or the everlasting repetition of evil converted into good. Of late, the word institutions' has been industriously employed to preclude the use of reason. Institutions,'—in the talk of the anti-Reformers— is made synonymous with Government and religion ; ' change,' is made synonymous with destruction. —By force of this new nomenclature, there fore, he who desires to reform anything, goes to the destruction of government and religion ; as if Go vernment were no longer government when it is ren dered good—religion were no longer religion when it is rendered pure. What these people mean is, that go verrnment is then destroyed, when they are no longer permitted to abuse its powers, for their own aggran dizement, at the expense of the rest of the community ; religion is then destroyed, when they cannot make use of it as an instrument for the accomplishment of the same design. In other words, the mischievous tendency which has been given to each by the perfidious artifices of men, is, in their sense, the essence of each. The es sence of government, the essence of religion, is the mischief which can be done with them. Let mischief no longer be done with them, they no longer exist." The author of this paper, in describing some diag nostics in the present political horizon of the nation, designates the rapid growth of Reform within the last twenty years, and its present preponderance, as a re markable " sign of the times." The mode in which he treats the question growing out of it, " Does the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1835, pursuit of Reform tend to good or to evil ?" surprises by its:occasional tameness—when compared with the spirit of some of the opening passages, as much as by its " lame and impotent conclusion." We are inclined to think that the author, though a man of talent, is somewhat new to the practicpl consideration of some of the most important political questions; otherwise in contemplating the character of the future measures of the Reform Parliament, which he does, he would hardly have slurred over necessary improvements, both in the organic structure of the Constitution, and in the ordinary administration of public affairs. His correct view of the uselessness of paying the expenses of the Colonies, only causes us the more to regret his silence upon questions still more paramount ; and when we look at his defence of the Pension List, and especially of the pension of Mrs. Arbuthnot, the ex posure of which in the public press he terms " unjust and indelicate," something of suspicion would mingle with our surprize, if the charitable view we have al ready taken of the author in the light of a political novice did not mitigate the unfavourable view. He is quite right in the argument that real Reform can have no more legitimate object than the general welfare of society, and, consequently, the preservation of its great corner-stone—the right of property. It is Toryism, not Reform, that has hitherto struck at the root of that right, and still continues to do so— first, by its shameless system of jobbery and plun der, without which it never ventured, nor could venture, to carry on a Government ; second, by the profligate immorality or insidious corruption which it has always exhibited in remunerating individuals of the Tory clique, either without the slightest service performed for the remuneration, or for a class of la bours to which idleness would be infinitely preferable. What could be more immoral than the exhibition of the late Tory Ministry, which carried on business with a stock in trade which may be described a 3 a daily recantation of every previous pledge and opi nion ? This unexampled immorality tended to de stroy all confidence in public men, and thereby to shake the foundations of property. This was destruc tiveness. It is reform which protects property. What right of property can be assigned to pensions such as the author wishes to protect, given in reward for want of principle, public or private ? A large part of these pensions have been the wages of cor ruption. It is an injury to property to assert that there can be any " vested right" in incomes, the title deeds of which are founded in immoral considerations. At common law all title-deeds of that description are abrogated, and common sense must and always will apply the same rule to the largest portion of the pension list. 'We might, if it were .requisite, or if we had time, show how the pension list might be got rid of with benefit to the nation, and without wrong to any body of individuals. But the public have already passed sentence upon it, and the majority in Parlia ment representing the public, no doubt will soon carry the general expression of the public disgust into effect, by abrogating this protracted public scandal. It would be wasting words, therefore, to reiterate arguments so often repeated upon this subject. The author of the paper in question has some good hits at the excessive vanity of the Tories in proclaiming, as they lately did, that if they failed no Government could be constructed. We need not say that we agree with the author's irony and ridicule on this point. We have repeatedly expressed our conviction, that if the Tory party were extinct to-morrow, we should not " despair of the fortune of the common wealth." We will go farther, and say that if the Whigs—well as they have latterly deserved of the country—we will go still further and say, that if the Parliamentary Reformers,—eminent for courage, prin ciple, and ability as they have shown themselves, were politically defunct, or incompetent to form a Ministry, myriads of " fifteens," as Sir John Cain Hobliouse said, would be found among our intelligent country men to conduct the Administration with advantage to the country and with honour to themselves. The fri volous conceit of aristocratical Ministers up to this period has misled them, and has been the cause of a long series of ministerial humiliations and of failures. Ministries constituted from among the scions of the aristocracy, which could be supposed to know nothing beyond the narrow circles of aristocratic exclusiveness —fourth-form boys—transferred from the licentious and wasteful frivolities of Oxford or Cambridge, to Parliament—lucky heirs of the industry of their prede cessors, who could not earn salt if placed in the same position—" these are your Gods, oh, Israel !"—these arc the only men, forsooth, from whom British Admi nistrations can be constructed. A more impudent insult was never offered to a great nation. Why, we would undertake to make better Ministries out of the first twenty merchants' or bankers' counting-houses in Cheapside ! There are tens of thousands of intelli gent men in this country neither caring for, nor hoping for office, whom it will be but wholesome to tell these pretending monopolists of wisdom, that if they were fairly pitted with them, divested of their adventitious advantages, they would no more be able to vie with them in ability than a rushlight to vie in light and heat with the meridian sun.—Morning Advertiser. The Times remarks on the predominancy of the aristocratic material in the new Cabinet as a characte ristic of Whig taste. "We observed a few days ago on that supercilious instinct of the Whigs as a party, which has always led them to look down upon, and, in their political combinations, to keep at a distance, so far as they durst, individuals who had not some smack of the Peera ' e to recommend them. Thi s essential arrogance of the leaders of the Whig party has marked their proceedings for more than half a century. It was fe!t not merely in their formation of the first Grey Cabinet of 1830, but in their demeanour towards, and treatment of, all its friends in the House of Commons, throughout the long Reform struggle, when even the, most common-place social courtesies were withheld from the Ministerial supporters. In the present Cabi net see what a small proportion the private or untitled gentlemen bear to those members of it who appertain to the nobility : out of the 12 there are 7 lords—one, to wit, Lord J. Russell—a Duke's son, and only four to be found in the class of commoners, one of them being about to obtain a peerage. Is this from dearth of plebeian talent among the Whigs, or from a redun dancy of the lordly leaven ?" Had the Ministry been plebeian, it is very certain that the Times would have found as much or more matter of objection on that score. It would, in such case, have remarked that the, Government was composed of men who regarded with envy and jealousy the honours and privileges of the superior classes, and were eager to pull down all things to the level of their own station. It would have ob served that the democratic principles of persons of the class of the people were to be regarded with peculiar suspicion, as likely to be adipted in mere opposition to the powers of the Aristocracy, and rather the preten sions of inflamed partisans than the results of a just consideration of the various interests of society. It would have asked, whether there were none of the No bility attached to the popular cause ? and it would have dwelt on the advantage of employing them, as their interests would seem to guarantee both the safety and the sincerity of their opinions. It would have argued that men of aristocratic station were the very fittest to advocate the rights of the great body of the people, as no base envy of the great, or the just ad vantages of the privileged orders, could be suspected of entering into their views. It would have reminded us that plebeians might be supposed to be preju diced in the behalf of the people, but that aristo crats who entertain popular principles mus t h ave sur mounted an opposite bias, and that, whatever might be thought of the wisdom of their conclusions, the just spirit which had led to them could not be doubt ed. It would have added that these men would know where to stop, as their sense of right, which determined their concessions, would also limit them, and as it could not be conceived that they Would permit encroachments upon interest bound up with their own, and entitled to protectiOn. It would have told us that those who recognised the rights of others from the pure disinterested love of justice, would be the firmest in the vindication of their own ; and it would have illustrated all by the familiar instance of cutting against the bias to keep a straight and steady line. It would not have failed to throw in a crowning clap-trap, to the effect that the people of England like to see the duties of government (Es- . charged by their nobility. Indeed, we remember that some years ago the Times urged that consideration against the advancement of Mr. Peel to a high office. It may be desirable that the Whigs should be less regardful of aristocratic connection in the dis tribution of their patronage ; but there is this to be said—that their Aristocrats assert popular prin ciples : the Tories, on the other hand, promoted men from the people to maintain the principles of misrule, and to fight the battle of the Oligarchy. The most bitter and insolent foes of the people have ever been the upstarts and adventurers who have been lifted up from a humble rank in life to do the work of a dishonest and oppressive Government. The Tories certainly paid the trees the compliment of making the handles of the hatchets for cutting them down of their substance, but we cannot pretend to be grateful for that particular exhibition of liberality. On the other hand, however, we must observe, that the Whigs might derive advantage 'from extending their field of choice ; and the remarks of the Times, though made in the spirit of faction, and for none but factious purposes, will have an effect the very opposite to the intention, if they be well considered by those to whom they are ap plied.—Morning Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a respectably-dressed young man, who gave his name William Grant, was brought before Mr. HALLS, charged with stealing two box coats , value .51., the property of th Hon. Mrs. Gardner, residing at Richmond. Mrs. Gardner and her family were viewing the Panorama in Leicester-square, the carriage remaining at the entrance, with two box coats upon the fore part. The prisoner see ing the footman's back turned towards the carriage for a moment snatched the coats from the box and ran off to wards Castle-street. A cry of " Stop thief" was raised, in which the prisoner joined very heartily, having, however, the coats thrown over his shoulders. He passed the house of a St. Martin's constable named Austell, who, hearing the alarm ' ran out and secured him. When Austell seized him be threw down the coats, and said " There take them, my boy, for I am tired of them." The prisoner was committed to Ncwgate. HATTON-GARDEN. Edward Akkrman, coachmaker, of George-street, Battle-bridge, was brought from the station-house, in the custody of a policeman of the F division, charged by the landlord of the Coach and Horses public-house, Holborn, with having uttered a counterfeit, half sovereign, under the following extraordinary circumstances. The office was crowded by the prisoner's friends, and the case excited great interest, in consequence of his respectability, and having such a charge preferred against him. The prosecutor deposed that about one o'clock on Mon day morning the prisoner entered his house in company with a female, and asked witness's wife to fill a bottle with some gin. On being served he threw down a piece of coin resembling a half soveteign, the sound of which attracted witness's car, and 'he said it was not a half sovereign, but a gilt sixpence. The prisoner said it was a good one, and persisted in saying so, and a policeman hearing the dispute entered the place, and Mr. Alderman was given into cus tody, taken to the station-house, and locked up all night as an utterer of base coin. Mr. Alderman assured the magistrates that it was a good half sovereign, and he had received it on Saturday night from Davies, a glass dealer, of Saffron-hill. Mr. BENNETT looked at the half sovereign, and said that it certainly had a queer sound, and appeared small, but it was evidently pure gold, and not a gilt sixpence, or counterfeit. Mr. LAING concurred with Mr. BENNETT, and ordered the clerk to wcigh it in the office scales against another half sovereign. The clerk did so, and found it to be the exact weight, and every body in Court was satisfied that it was a good half sovereign, but felt astonished and anxious to know why the Mint should issue half sovereigns so widely different in size and sound to each other. Mr. LAING said that the half sovereign was evidently, a good half sovereign, and the prisoner was discharged. Mr. Alderman complained of the hardship of having been given into custody on such a charge, and imprisoned, and on quitting the office with his friends, lie expressed his de termination of proceeding instantly to his solicitor to com mence legal proceedings against his prosecutors. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a very respectably-dressed man, a messenger at the Treasury, was. placed at the bar before Mr. HOSKINS upon a charge of felony. The name of the prisoner is Samuel .21litchc11, and he has held a situation of 1501. per annum at the Treasury for some years past. In consequence of several valuable books and official documents having lately been missed from the. Office information was given to the police, who for the last six weeks had kept a watchful eye upon the prisoner. Mr. Carter, one of the inspectors of the A division of police, had received infordiafion from Mr. Haines, one of the office-keepers, that a quantity of paper and a number of books had been stolen. On Saturday last he observed the prisoner come out of the office with a large box, and a bag apparently filled with papers and books, which he depo sited at the residence of Sir G. Clerk in Downing-street. Prom thence he watched him into Martlett's-court, Drury lane, where he also deposited another bag, and he imme diately took him into custody. Upon his person he found a number of keys, one of which belonged to Mr. Arbuthnot, the Secretary of Sir G. Clerk% Upon searching the pri soner's lodgings, No. 4, Upper Ebury-street, Pimlico, a whole series of the Mirror of Parliament, a number of vo lumes, handsomely bound, of the Reports of Committees of the House of Commons, and a quantity of writing-paper of every description, all belonging to the Treasury, were found. Mr. George Arbuthnot, of the Treasury, deposed that the prisoner was employed as a messenger there. The key of the Stationery Department was constantly kept in his (witness's) bureau, and the key produced by Inspector Carter was the one belonging to his bureau. Mr. Arbuth not identifi e d an e b on y inkstand which had been found at the prisoner's lodgings as one which had been ordered for Sir George Clerk. Anthony Thompson, servant to Sir George Clerk, stated that on Saturday last the prisoner left the box and bag, containing part of the stolen property, in Downing -street. He had promised to return in the evening and take it away, but in the interim he was apprehended. Mr. Haines identified the property as belonging to the Treasury, and said that some of the books found .at the prisoner's lodgings bad been missed at the office. Mr. HOSKINS committed him to Newgate for trial. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Edward Delais, the son of a gentleman re siding at Tunbridge, was brought up in custody, charged with stealing 101. from Elizabeth Wood, the daughter of a tradesman in Bermondsey-street. The complainant stated that on the evening of the 25th of March, the prisoner called at her father's house in Ber mondsey-street, dressed like a naval officer, and inquired if her father was at ''home. The answer being in the nega tive, the prisoner then said that he was particularly anxious to see the complainant's father, adding that it was to impart to him some agreeable intelligence from his relations abroad. Complainant asked the prisoner his name, and he replied that it was Edward Butler, chief officer of the ship Aus tralia, and said that he had just arrived from Sydney, New South Wales, and had seen the family of the Underhills, to whom complainant's father was related, previous to his departure from that country. He also claimed acquaintance with a Miss Harriet Butler, an intimate friend of the fa mily, who was living in the neighbourhood, and expressed a strong desire to see her after his voyage. He then talked about his long passage home, and amongst other matters related that two of the Judges of New South Wales had come home passengers in the ship of which he was the chief officer ; that he had brought over a great number of Java sparrows, a rare and curious bird, also a parrot of great beauty of plumage, several jars of tamarinds, and some camels' hair shawls of the finest texture, two of which he added were then wrapped round his body, and that he had brought them ashore in that manner to prevent their seizure by the Custom-house officers. He then said that he should beg her acceptance of a few Java sparrows and other curiosities when the ship was in dock and the confusion incident to a long voyage over, and he then got up in order to leave the house, when he observed that he had his boat's crew, consisting of six hands, waiting for his return at a neighbouring public-house to row him back to the ship. Previously, however, to going away he asked the com plainant if she could oblige him with 101., and she pulled out her purse containing between twenty and thirty sove reigns, considering he wanted change for either a note or a check. She then counted out five sovereigns on the table, and he said that if she could let him have ten sovereigns it would much oblige him. She commenced reckoning five sovereigns more on the table, and then asked him whether he required it for a check or a note ? The moment she uttered the words he immediately placed his hand over the ten sovereigns, saying, " No, I shall be back here in half an hour to see Miss Butler, and I shall return the money when I have sent off my boat's crew." He then took up the money and left the house, and she never saw him since until she was apprised that he was in custody. Mr. John Cope, a cheesemonger, in Snow's-fields, stated th a t the prisoner subsequ en tl y ca ll e d at h i s house, and having by some means or another ascertained that he bad some relatives in New South Wales, he represented that he vvi.s an officer in the American service, that his name was Lieutenant Moore, and that he had just arrived in England. He then told the complainant that ho had brought him home some valuable shawls and other articles from his friends, and that he was then going to clear them at the Custom-house, and asked for a sovereign to make up the payment of the duty. The complainant, however, only gave 2s. 6d., and he then went away promising to re turn immediately with the property from the Custom-house, and left the card produced, saying that it was his address with the name of Lieutenant Moore written upon it. The complainant added, that he had not seen him since the visit until he was taken into custody. Murray, a policeman of the K division, stated that the prisoner's name was Edward Delias, the son of a man pos sessing large property at Tonbridge. The prisoner was in the habit of going by different names, and witness was pre sent at the Surrey Sessions in February, 1832, when the prisoner was tried and convicted of felony, and sentenced to six :months' imprisonment and hard labour in Guildford House of Correction. It was also stated that the prisoner was the person who prosecuted Itwo privates belonging to the Royal Marines for a highway robbery attended with violence, a few Sessions back at the Central Criminal Court. The judge and Jury, however, before whom the marines were tried, were so satisfied that there were no grounds for the accusation that they immediately acquitted them, and Delais was strongly rebuked by the Bench on the occasion. Mr. JEREMY should commit the prisoner for the felony on the first charge, and on the second a detainer might be lodged against him for obtaining money under a fraudulent representation. The Magistrate gave directions when the prisoner was tried, that the Court might be apprised that he had been previously convicted of felony. Murray the policeman produced some gold lace, which was taken oil' the prisoner's shoulders when he was last in cus tody, and on the present occasion the prisoner exhibited a narrow piece of gold on his right shoulder, indicative of a commissioned officer. CORONERS' INQUESTS. A highly-respectable Jury was impanelled before Mr. PAYNE, at the Sun and Fleece, Threadneedle-street, on Saturday evening, to inquire respecting the death of Miss Ann Corner, who had committed suicide by hanging herself on the morning of that day. The case excited much in terest, in consequence of a report spread that she had been impelled to the act by religious despondency. The CORONER in summing up, observed that the opinion of the witnesses who spoke to the deceased being religiously insane did not appear borne out by a single fact. The Jury unanimously concurred in a verdict of " Tem porary Insanity." Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken before Mr. ,e HIGGS, at the Blußoar, Long-acre, on Mr. George Flin doff, of No. 38, Long-acre, plate chestmaker, who had that morning destroyed himself by swallowing poison. The Jury returned a verdict of " Suicide during Tem porary Insanity." ROSS-SHIRE. SUSPECTED MURDER OF A - WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. On Friday morning, 10th April, the body of a female was found in a ruined hut or bothy in the plantation on the heights of Kilcoy, near the road to Dingwall. It was ap parently that of a married woman about forty years of age, and bore such marks of violence as left no doubt that the deceased had been cruelly murdered. The body was discovered accidentally by some young persons engaged in planting fir-trees close by the spot in which it lay. They first found a glove, and afterwards saw part of a black veil, and a shoe rising out from a covering of feal or turf which was spread over the corpse. An alarm was instantly given, and the body was taken up. A large stone was laid on the head, which exhibited several dreadful wounds and frac tures, inflicted apparently with a blunt instrument. The deceased was respectably, dressed, having on a purple co loured gown, a black silk bonnet and veil, and wore a plain marriage ring marked " Gold." The body linen was marked with the initials "I. 8.," and in the pocket was a small pill-box, labelled " J. Mackenzie, Chemist and Drug gist, Forres." There were no circumstances to lead to the discovery of the name or residence of the deceased : the fresh appearance of the body rendered it evident that the barbarous deed could not have been perpetrated many days. On Sunday afternoon, two women waited on Mr. Macbean, Messenger, Inverness, and informed him that a person an swering the description had lived for three weeks in the house of Hector Mackintosh, Chapel-street, and had quitted Inverness on Thursday evening in company with her husband, to go to Dingwall. These women went with Mr. Macbean and identified the body as that of the person they had alluded to, a Mrs. Adams. Early next morning Macbean apprehended the accused in his bed at Ding wall. He had lived there, as a common labourer, under the name of John Anderson, for about a twelvemonth, and had another wife, a young English woman, whom he had brought with him to this country. He described himself as having been an agricultural overseer in the south, but, losing his situation, he had travelled on northwards in quest of employment. His conduct was uniformly irreproachable, and he was considered a steady inoffensive man. The un fortunate woman so barbarously murdered, was a native of Montrose, was married to Anderson some years since, and deserted by him. She had amassed, as a housekeeper, or received as a legacy, about 100/. ; and last winter Anderson went to Montrose, lived with her some weeks, and per suaded her to come north with him. She at last complied with the request, bringing with her a considerable quantity of furniture and money. She remained in Inverness for about three weeks ; her husband called on her occasionally, but said he had not got his house ready to receive her. The furniture was forwarded to Dingwall shortly after her arrival here. At length, on Thursday last—the day of her death —he said his arrangements were completed, and the un happy woman and her husband left Inverness, crossed the ferry at Kessock, and walked on in the moonlight towards Dingwall. The spot where the deed was perpetrated is about five miles from the ferry, and two hundred yards from a small change-house by the roadside. After his ap prehension on Monday, Anderson was taken to see the body ; he did not betray much emotion, but large drops of sweat stood on his forehead : he simply remarked that he had not been accustomed to see such awful sights ! A sum of 751. in bank notes was found under his pillow, and there was also some female linen discovered in the house marked the same as that on the body of the deceased. He denied all knowledge of the crime, and declared he knew nothing of the murdered woman. When confronted with the persons who had seen him often with his late wife in Inverness, and knew him intimately in consequence of his repeated visits, he still persisted in his denial. The money and linen had, he said, been left him by an aunt in Mon trose. He is a tall handsome young man, about thirty years of age, and has exhibited considerable shrewdness and knowledge of the world in the course of his examination.— Inverness Courier. The brain generally weighs, according to Soemmer ring, from 21b. sioz. to 31b. 3ioz. Professor Dewhurst has weighed several at 51b. The brain of the late Lord Byron, without its membranes, weighed 61b., and contained more me dullary substance than ordinary, as also did that of Oliver Cromwell. That of Dr. Gall weighed according to M. Be rord, 31b. 13 -oz. and, according to M. Rosseau, 31b. 14oz. 4drs. A horse's brain weighs only lib. 4oz. and that of an ox is one-fourth the dimensions of the human brain. EXECUTION OF EDWIN JEFFERY FOR THE MURDER OF THE LATE MR. RENS, AT STOW.-011 Wednes day morning the sentence of the law was executed on this un happy man in front of our county prison. His latter moments were witnessed by a numerous concourse of spectators. He addressed the multitude for a considerable time, warning them to avoid the course which led him thus early to the commission of a crime, which could be atoned for only by the forfeiture of his life—he particularly cautioned them against frequenting beer-houses, and against the breach of the Sabbath-day, by which offences he had imbibed that indifference to religion, and that hardness of soul, which prevented him from revolting even at the dreadful crime of murder. His confession is al ready before the public, and on being anxiously urged to ac knowledge whether he had any accomplice in the deed, he expressed a desire not to be pressed on the subject. We ear nestly hope that the example now held out by his untimely fate (for he was scarcely twenty-one years of age) will operate as a serious check against the indulgence of bad passions. We understand that Henry Nurden, now under sentence of death for shooting Mr. Young, with intent to kill, will suffer on Saturday next. He has roads a full confession of his guilt, and appears extremely penitent.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. CAPTURE OF A WHALE.—Some days ago a large whale was observed in the channel that divides the island of Seil from the main land of Argyllshire. It approached the sequestered spot occupied by the piper of Lorn—allured thither, as some will have it, by the syren strains of his pibro`ch. Be this as it may, the monster, unconscious of danger, was pro ceeding slowly in his course, when the channel at last proved too shallow, and the huge animal evidently became alarmed, turned about, and lashed and struggled in order to effect a re treat ; but, instead of taking his former route, he went into another channel, between a small island and the shore, and took the ground. The tide was ebbing, so that in a few minutes the " mighty monarch of the deep" became an easy prey. Several persons, who were spectators of the scene, immediately launched their boats ; but instead of exercising the rites of Highland hospitality towards the unfortunate stranger from the Polar regions, they began to assail him furiously with grapes, sithes, hatchets, and every implement they could lay hold on, that seemed best adapted to the woik of destruction. Several gashing wounds were speedily inflicted, and the blood gushed out in copious streams, colouring the water to a considerable distance around. The struggles of the whale, in the agonies of death, in his own climate, with plenty of sea room, must indeed be an imposing sight, when so dreadful in the present instance. He struggled long and strongly—lashing the sea with his ponderous tail with amazing force; but at length the life-blood had flown, and he gradually became exhausted, and soon breathed his last. The whale measured about 80 feet from troth extremities.—Stirling Journal, LONDON MARKETS.
