:PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The time fixed for the meeting of Parliament now draws near. Next Thursday week will decide the choice of a Speaker, and whichever way that parti cular strife may terminate, the old Whit* party may depend upon it, that their party prospects are far more perilous than those of their Ministerial adversaries. It is always a critical experiment for a party to unfurl broadly to the nation, which has seldom any factious sympathies, and now, we will venture to say, less than ever, the standard of mere undisguised, un blushing, party. If the enterprise succeeds so far as to work up a majority on the one specific question, it at once alarms the people, and puts them on their guard. They ask themselves what is likely to fol low ? And the answer is a succession of votes in the same spirit of selfish and rapacious faction, for no end but the overthrow of the existing Government, and the planting one section, or the whole, of the victorious majority, on its ruins. Now we are much disposed to believe that the great bulk of the property and intelligence of the nation would by no means relish such a consequence of Whig- Radical manoeuvres at the present hour. A Govern ment compounded of Whigs and Radicals could not, under any circumstances, be a stable Government. If the counsels of the latter should predominate, the po licy would assume a " destructive" form : a collision with the 'throne, the House of Lords, and the whole party of Conservatives, would be the instantaneous ef fect of it. Tremendous excitement would be the har binger of political confusion, to extricate the country from which every independent man, with any stake to lose, would eagerly throw himself into the ranks of the Conservatives, and the Whigs, with their blind parti zans, to escape the gulf prepared for them by their re volutionary allies, but palsied by fear, and thinned by frequent desertions, would join the fag-end of their late rival party, and would be absorbed by it and lost in it for ever. This is as clear a certainty_to our mind's eye as any object of sense is to our visual organ. If the Whigs attain their immediate purpose, their ruin is inevitable. Their sole chance of salvation, as a party not to be swallowed up by one or other of the Conser vatives or Destructives, would be to hold, for a season, the balance between both. But, unhappily, passion bewilders them. It is our firm persuasion that a ma jority in favour of Mr. Abercromby would ensure a large majority against the opposition on the Address —so great is the terror throughout this country of af fording real hope or strength to those who would des troy our institutions. — Tinges. It pains us to observe the tone of some of our con temporaries in speaking of the appointment of Lord Londonderry to the Court of Russia ; our deep regret for which exercise of patronage (should it be persisted in) we have already declared. Unquestionably, the Noble Duke at the head of the Foreign Department cannot have authorized the language held in certain quarters on this occasion. The Noble Duke may pos sibly submit to the misfortune of having such a repre sentative at a point of Europe in all respects so im• portant, as a visitation forced upon him by some prac tical necessity of party ; but that it should be the deliberate and, willing choice of his Grace's judgment, is beyond all credence ; and we should be slow to be lieve it, except on the solemn assertion of the Duke himself. His parasites do not understand him, and we certainly will not accept their vouchers as evidence. We presume that the Noble Marquis is to have a trusty nurse or guardian in attendance, as a fixed member of the mission.— Times. It is curious enough to observe the awkward shifts which the Sunday organ of the High-Church party has recourse to, to evade committing itself upon the vital subject of Church reform. When the Ministerial plan first made its appearance in the Standard, the paper in question never expressed any doubt of its au thenticity, but announced that, in its ensuing number, it would in effect, blow the whole scheme to atoms. Well, the next Sunday came, and the threatened de molition is postponed, on the ground of total igno rance of what the plan really was—an ignorance said to be shared in common with one of the " two emi nent persons" who had been closeted with the Pre mier upon the subject. Considering that the eminent persons in question are Privy Concillors, and, as such, under the obligation of an oath of no very common na ture, we did not think it probable, nor even pos sible, that either of them could have been so indiscreet as to have " declared" either his ignorance or his know ledge upon the subject. And such, manifestly, turns out to have been the case : for in two days after this avowal, in the very next Gazette, appears the King's Commission, addressed, among others, to these two eminent persons, and explaining pretty clearly what the plan is, and confirming the Standard's previous ac curacy upon the subject. And now, thus driven up into a corner, what is the course taken by our Sunday Contemporary ? It prints the Gazette notification in an obscure column, amidst its paragraph news, and con tents itself with telling its readers that " it would be, in the highest degree, indelicate, at this moment, to offer any remarks upon the modes by which tee hear the proposed Church reform is to be carried into effect : we therefore reserve ourselves for the visible movement of the Learned and Noble body to whom our fate is intrusted, to submit such observations as we may from time to time think necessary." Now, whether more is here meant than meets the ear, is what we cannot take upon ourselves to decide, however we may conjecture. But the large proportion of the public who look up to the Journal in question as a high and acknowledged authority in all clerical matters have, we think, some right to complain of its indecision and ultimate silence upon a subject so peculiarly interesting to them, and to which the colums of the Paper in question have been at all times so exclusively devoted. Were a law or medical Journal thus to evade the con sideration of any question of similar interest to either of those professions, its readers would naturally feel some surprise and disappointment at such a course ; nor can such feelings be otherwise than greatly enhariftcd when the subject is of such general interest and im portance as that to which we are alluding. Is there a hope—a forlorn one it must be—of raising up an op position to the proposed plan in high places ? The very issuing of the Commission in question carries with it a reply to this.—Morning Herald. Let every Reformer be at his post on the 19th instant by twelve o'clock, on pain of forfeiting the con fidence of his constituents, and giving the enemies of their country the chance of ruling it for the next three months. The fear of the one, and the certainty of the other, will, we trust, produce the proper effect where it is required—that is among the English Mem bers, among whom only defection is to be anticipated ; for the Irish and Scotch Members, forming a select mass of upwards of one hundred, are pledged to a man to oppose the Tory Government in all and every mea sure which it may propose—whether it be a Speaker who has forfeited the confidence of the Commons by intriguing for the overthrow of the late Whig Admini stration, and for the dissolution of the late Parliament —or for an address to the Crown embodying professions of Reform, on which no reliance can be placed, and which are only put forward to gain time and to de ceive. On these doubtful Members, therefore, be they who they may, their constituents must now open a well-charged battery—they must tell them in round set phrase, that their absence on the occasion referred to, or their votes in favour of the Tory Speaker and against Mr. Abercromby, will be a perpetual forfeiture of their confidence—and that should they ever come before them again, they will reject them with the scorn and contempt which their deception would so amply merit. We are not of the opinion of some of the electors of the United Kingdom, that their re presentatives should be tied hand and foot on every question which may come before them for consideration ; but there are questions on which the representative ought simply to be the organ of his constitutents ; and the question of the Speakership—. an unimportant one generally, but most important on the present occasion,—as evidencing the spirit of the country, and influencing for a greater or lesser period of time the existence or destruction of an anti-national Cabinet—is one of them. The borough of Maryle bon e has shewn an excellent example, by summoning one of its representatives from Pa:'s to vote against the election of Sir Charles Manners,Sutton as Speaker; and it is greatly to he desired that elerY other constituency should follow it. That which does not, is a traitor to its own interests, as well as a traitor to the country.—Morning Advertiser. In no part of the United Kingdom has the Reform cause been supported with so much zeal and earnest ness as in Scotland ; and the promptitude and deter mination with which they have acted on all trying oc casions, cannot be too highly extolled. 'We wish the example set by the Reformers of Edinburgh, in passing the following resolutions, were generally followed : " Resolutions proposed by Mr. Gracie, and passed unani mously at a full meeting of the Edinburgh Liberal Central Election Committee, held on the 3d of February, 1835 : " 1. That this meeting have heard with much satisfaction, that the Right Honourable James Abercromby has agreed to accept the office of Speaker of the House of Commons, if elected thereto. 2. That Sir John Campbell be respectfully requested to be in his place on the day of the election of the Speaker. " ANDREW MILLAR, Chairman." The constituencies throughout the country cannot too strongly impress on their representatives their wish that they should be in their place on the clay of the election of the Speaker. The choice of a Speaker is really a most important question. The Tories will consider their carrying Sir Charles Manners Sutton as a signal victory over the Reformers. We really can not understand how any man calling himself a Re former can either support Sir Charles Manners Sutton, or not attend in his place to vote for Mr. Abercromby. Whatever strengthens the Tories must be injurious to the Reformers ; and he must therefore be a strange Reformer indeed who can wish to promote the success of the cause to which he affects to be opposed. Of all politicians, the puling and irresolute are the most to be dreaded. You will sometimes find a man who pretends to entertain certain political principles, and yet he will not scruple to act on a trying occasion in such a manner as to injure the very men by whom alone effect can be given to these principles. Sir Charles Manners Sutton is a Tory, and ought to be supported by the Tories ; for the Duke of Cum berland is not singular in thinking him as hostile to Reform and improvement of all kinds as a man can well be. But why should any Reformer support him ? There might be some show of reason for supporting the Speaker of the old Parliament, when so many new men were returned for the first time on the passing of the Reform Bill. But, even if Sir Charles had not rendered himself obnoxious to every Reformer by his intriguing to dismiss the Melbourne Ministry, it would be unadvisable to choose for a Speaker a man who is a stranger to the spirit which ought to pervade a Reformed Parliament. The Tories have hit upon an admirable reason for continuing the services of Sir Charles. This is not the first session of a Reform Parliament, but it is the first session of a new House. " There is ano ther circumstance," says the writer of an article in the Quarterly Review, " which would render the success of this attempt as inconvenient and injurious to the public service, as it would be personally inconsistent and unjust. Not to insist on the general advantage of having a person of Sir Charles Sutton's qualifications in the chair, it is peculiarly desirable at this moment, when the change of the place of meeting will require all that learning and experience in Parliamentary practice, principles, and precedents can supply, to facilitate the adaptation of the old forms and traditionary regula tions and habits of the House of Commons to the new locality !" This is said in sober earliest. We have pondered over this passage, and cannot, for the life of us, discover what difficulties are added to the conducting of business by the new locality. There are seats for all the Members, we presume, and a table for the clerks ; and the only derangement we can think of may be that caused by a neglected nail in the in expressibles of some member. The Ministry and op position can take their seats to the right and left of the chair in the new locality as well as in the old, even if that chair be not filled by Sir Charles Manners Sut ton. The Tories are hard pushed for reasons when they resort to one like this.—Morning Chronicle. Poor Lord Palmerston is, indeed, in a pitiable plight. " Alliteration lends its artful aid" to de scribe the peculiar position of the ex-Foreign Secre tary, and late Member for South - Hants, a posi tion perhaps unrivalled for absurdity and inconvenience in the annals of Parliamentary and politicel life. Nay, even the last resort of unsuccessful candidates is denied to him. No consolatory dinner breaks his fall, and convinces him that, however odious to the great majority of gentry, clergy, and yeomanry, who con stitute the elective body, he has around him a knot of factious friends, who admire the system of " pro tocolling," and regard the honour and dignity of Eng land with reference to her foreign relations as a matter of secondary consideration. Here, alas ! this melancholy consolation is withheld, and we find the member of every Cabinet (which would admit him), from the highest shade of Toryism to the deepest tinge of Destructive ness, compelled to attend as a collateral limb a dinner given at the immaculate borough of Portsmouth to the amiable Whigs, Ai r essrs. Bonham Carter and Baring, one of whom at least es.^•aped by a very narrow majo rity the same fate which herd our unfortunate friend Cupid in the division of the county wherein Torts mouth is situated. How often do we perceive the fol lowing announcement in country play-bills :—" For the benefit of Mr. Snooks, on which occasion Mr. Hug gins, of T.R.C.G., will make his first appearance on this stage." On such occasions the house is crowded, but the inquiry presently occurs as to who and what the said " Huggins" is ; and then comes the unfortunate discovery that he was either hissed off the boards, or discharged by the management for in capacity or insubordination. Even so the rejected of Cambridge and Hampshire struts his hour upon the Portsmouth boards, and gives vent to the intense and poignant feelings of anger and disappointment, under whose combined influence the poor gentle man evidently writhes. The dinner to which we re fer appears to have gone off flatly, and the speech of Lord Palmerston was a mere rifacciamento of the old topics, " Reform," " inconsistency," " change of opi nion," "adopting our views," and all the pretty et ceteras of which the orations of superannuated Whig fine gentlemen are ordinarily made up. Now, on the part of Lord Palmerston this is a great deal too bad ; for w. liere is the measure which has not been at one time suppoyled, at another period opposed by him ? Where the Ministry to which he has not bolonged ? Where the party of `which he has not been the servile ad herent ? There was, however, a redeeming trait of modesty (we never deny just praise) in the ha rangue of the unfortunate Viscount—we mean the careful and scrupulous manner 'n which he abstained from the slightest mention of the fore:',7 policy of the defunct Administration. Perchance a si:qlclen qualm came over his conscious soul when he thought upon Holland, Portugal, and Spain, or a vision of Talley rand, Manfred fashion, flitted before his eyes, dim med with unofficial tears, or—and this shall be our last supposition—the name and character of the Noble Statesman to whom the foreign interests of the empire are now entrusted forced themselves upon his mind, and even a Palmerston was silenced when he recol lected who is his successor. The change is, indeed, propitious, and is felt to be so by everybody, but Lord Palmerston himself. In lieu of one whose name was a byeword and jest at foreign Courts—the tyrant of the weak, the victim of the strong, the dupe of the cunning is substituted one of the greatest men of any age. or country. The substitution is, verily, of a character well calculated to check the after-dinner elo quence even of a person possessing all the constitu tional self-complacency of Lord Palmerston.—Post. NEW TEMPORARY CRIMINAL COURT IN PARIS. —The southern aspect of the facade of the Palace of the Luxembourg is composed of two square pavilions, united by a building less elevated and of less depth by nearly 20 feet. In the hollow space between the pavilions workmen are at pre sent actively employed in erecting the Court for the reception of the Peers during the approaching great trial. The com munication with the Palace will be made through the great gate in the centre, and by the window entrances of the pavi lions toward the gardens. A part of the former apartments of Marie de Medicis will be converted into halls of waiting for the numerous witnesses. The small apartments of the Grand Referendary will be adapted for the reception of the accused. The grand perystile in the centre will contain the military force, and the public will be admitted by galleries which will be erected outside the Palace in two ranks. In the hall there will be a bureau for the President, Vice-Presidents, and Se cretary of the Court, directly opposite the door of entrance. On the left, an amphitheatre will be left clear for the accused. The Peers will sit on the right ; the witnesses will be placed directly opposite the bureau of the President ; the counsel will be stationed in front of the prisoners, and the Minister of Justice will have a seat near that of the President : such, with slight variations, will be the arrangements of the Court, ac to the plans laid down by the Minister of the Interior. SHREWSBURY. DINNER TO MR. SLANEY. ( From the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday.) The electors of Shrewsbury, anxious to testify their un altered respect for Mr. Slaney, their late representative, and their firm attachment to the principles he advocated in the House of Commons, invited him to a public dinner in the Lion Rooms nn Wednesday, wheee he was met by 180 of his former constituents, and some strangers, being, we believe, the largest party that ever sat down to a public dinner in these rooms. Mr. W. J. CLEMENT presided ; Messrs. DONALDSON and COOPER occupied the Vice chairs. After dinner the Chairman gave " The health of the King, and the other members of the Royal Family," to gether with that of " the Duke of Sussex ;" these toasts were received with great cheering. " The health of the Founders of the Second Great Charter of British Liberty—Earl Grey and his Majesty's late Ministers"—was received with several rounds of cheers. Mr. SLANEY, in return for his health being drank, made an excellent speech, but we can only afford room for ex tracts :—One word, gentlemen, respecting the dissolution of my late connection with Shrewsbury. Whilst I thank most heartily the zealous friends I here see around me, and many others whose zeal and exertions were above all praise, and whilst I candidly state that the result of the late elec tion was contrary to my just anticipations, fortified as I was by the promises of support I had received, yet I can account for our defeat by various ways. In the first place, there was arrayed against us a power such as was never before combined to crush a candidate or a people. —(Loud cheers.) Nearly all the neighbouring country gentlemen were against me ; and all the influence they could exert was brought to bear on the voters in opposition to me.—(Cheers.) I deem it not my misfortune, but my pride, to differ from their polities—(Cheers)—believing those I profess the best for my country ; and whilst, in private life, I forget our hostile sentiments on public affairs, I never forget the kindness which ought to characterize the intimacy of neighbours ; nor do I carry into private life any of the excitement and separating influence of political dif. ferences. Such has not been the general course pursued towards me : a desperate lounge was to be made ; the last game was to be played ; unbounded influence was exerted to win the stake ; and you were defeated.—(Cheers.) Another cause was very apparent during the election, more particularly on the polling days. They brought against us a prodigious purse—from whence filled I know not, but well filled it was—and with that they bought away some of my rotten supporters ; men who, when two opposing parties are nearly poised, know well they can cast the balance by throwing their votes into the scale of the candidate who gives them the largest bribe. I regret. to say, moreover, that some electors for whom I entertained deep respect— some whose names have been repeatedly inscribed under mine as the friends of freedom—some to whom I could have said, " You are men of principle, on you I can implicitly depend ;" vet in the day of battle they forsook me and their plighted words, and gave their voices to our opponents ; in the hour of trial, when the gold is known from the dross, they were found wanting.—(Shouts of execration.) True, after they had done what they could to defeat rne, some have come to me be wailing the necessity which forced them into such a course. With such I can hold no communion. I leave them to to their own consciences—l leave them to the looks of their fellow-citizens—l leave them to the degradation of knowing, that those who seduced them despise them—and that after their bones are rotten in the grave, their offspring will shrink with horror to hear that their fathers were apostates.--(Much cheering.) The Tories have long and often boasted that there was a reaction in public opinion strongly in their favour : and to a certain extent I admit this to be correct, but not in the wac. they mean. During my canvas, several persons whom I addressed told me tha their opinions were unchanged—they were as much Re formers as ever—but they lived under the eyes of persons who, if they voted conscientiously, would do all in their power to injure them—(Cries of " Shame !")—and if they could not altogether deprive their children of bread, they might materially lessen it. Besides, said they, the battle is won—the progress of reform must go on in spite of any set of Ministers ; and therefore we need not bring trouble on ourselves and our families by perversely setting our faces against those who have it in their power to ruin us. All these things, gentlemen, I mention to account for the issue of the contest, but not. with the slightest view of distressing or annoying any inhabitant of Shrews bury. I never mean to recollect anything, of what has occur red save the devoted kindness of my friends, and the warm-hearted manner in which they have obtained our triumph and shared in my defeat.—(Much cheering.) I have been asked (and on this point some explanation I am bound to give you) whether it is my intention to come for ward again, in the event of a vacancy in your representa tion ? Some of my friends, (confounded Tories they were) —(laughter)—hinted to me, that as the people had now got all they wanted, I had nothing more to do. Reform would go on, moderate and safe reform. What meant they, think you ?—(Renewed laughter.) So that I had better let thiugs remain as they are. "Do you think," said I, " you are to have it all your own way ? No, never ; whilst the electors of Shrewsbury stick by their principles and by me, they will never find me wanting." (Several rounds of cheers.) Don't you see even the Tories turned such wholesale reformers, that they have proposed a mea sure of Church Reform so wide and extensive that, in times past, 1 should have shuddered to hear it named in the House of Lords, lest the wigs of the Bishops should have started from their heads in pious horror.—( Laughter and cheers.) How comes this ? a calculating Tory be gins to ask. What is its cause ? says another, as he be gins to reason on his fingers, and to look at you. One says, it is the gradual progress of opinion ; another, that Churchmen begin to see the error of their ways, (High Churchmen I mean ; the others were always sensible.)—(Much laughter.) But I tell you, it is the Reform Bill.—(Great cheering.) It is the Reform Bill which has compelled the Tories to promulgate this useful and necessary measure ; and in so doing they acted like prudent men.—(Laughter.) But that is not the only reform we want. We must have Corporation reform as well—( vehement cheering)—a reform of those bodies equally wide and searching. Is it to be borne, gentlemen, that a few self-elected individuals, neither morel earned, nor more virtuous, nor more independent, than their fellow-citizens, should be permitted to rule over the inhabitants of large and populous towns, without controul or responsibility from those whose property they use, and whose liberties are ill their hands? and not only to do so in person, but to per petuate the nuisance by electing their brothers, and sons, and cousins, and grandmothers for ought I know—(much laughter)—to usurp the same powers, after they are dead and gone ; and yet no one can find fault with them, or in quire, into their conduct.—(Cheers.) To be sure such things exist not in Shrewsbury.—(A peal of laughter fol lowed this sarcasm.) We are too pure to admit such scan dalous doings among us. But some hundred miles or so from this borough, such things we know have been, and must be removed. And I have not a doubt that they will soon be swept away, and that, too, by the efforts of those who have hitherto been the greatest apologists of corporation abuses.—(Cheers.) The real grievances of the Dissenters, too, will very shortly be removed ; for since public opinion cannot go back (I defy them to do that), it must go forward, and must, ay, and very soon, too, how ever unwillingly, wrest from any Government that can exist the redress of every grievance. Mr. Slaney concluded amidst loud cheers. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. CASE OF JOSEPH ADY. Joseph Ady was indicted for having, on the 10th of July, obtained one sovereign from Francis Tebbutt, by means of false pretences. The Rev. Francis Tebbutt, a clergyman, residing in Northamptonshire, and formerly living in Lower Clapton, has a brother living in Austin-friars, whither he went to re side on a visit to town in the month of July last. While there he received a letter, dated from No. 11, Circus, Mi nories, and signed " James Laurie." He proceeded to that house, accompanied by a Mr. Hammond, and having knocked at the door, inquired of the servant if Mr. James Laurie resided there ? The defendant then appeared, of whom he asked the same question, when he begged of him to walk - in, observing he could manage that business, He then called Ady's attention to the letter which he had received, and observed to him that Laurie was a singular name, and that he was formerly acquainted with a Mr. Laurie at Cambridge. That individual was a relation of Sir Peter Laurie's, and he inquired whether James Laurie was in anyway related to that Gentleman? He replied that he was his brother. They (Ady and Laurie) had been some time in partnership. Every one in London was acquainted with that fact. Witness then inquired whether he could give him the information pointed out in the letter, whereby he could obtain 2501. by payment of a sovereign ? He replied that he could. Witness inquired whether, in the event of the sum named not being forthcoming, he would return the sovereign ? He replied in the affirmative, and gave an acknowledgment to that PiffiCit: Mr: Hammond then gave the sovereign to the defendant, at the same time inquiring whether he was authorised to receive money on the account of Mr. Laurie in his absence. He replied that he was. Witness would not have consented to give the sovereign unless upon the assnranee that he should receive the sum of 2501. Witness then received a paper relating to 1001., which witness's father had given to a nephew of wit ness, to remain in stock under the trusteeship of Mr. Tho mas Tebbutt and a Mr. Lloyd, Witness remarked that that had been out of stock, and that he had no interest in it ; at the same tiM? he demanded the restitution of his THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1535. ,money. Ady then replied, " What! are not you a better lawyer than that ?" and refused to return the money. The following is a copy of the letter : " SIR,--The undersigned is able to inform you of some thing to your advantage of the value of 250/., on receiving 20s. by Post Office order or otherwise, to pay him for his time. (Signed) " JA 1%1E3 LAURIE. " 11, Circus, Minories. " To Francis Tebbutt, Esq., Austin Friars." Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Was not acquainted with Mr. Hammond more than one day before he visited Ady. Did not go to visit Ady for the purpose of paying a sovereign in the presence of a witness that a prosecution might take place. Witness did not abuse Ady on finding that he had been duped. Mr. Hammond was violent, and Ady threatened to send for a constable. Mr. Hammond threatened to strike Ady, who had taken him by the collar. The sum which he knew to have been invested for his ne phew was drawn out about six years ago. Witness heard that the name of the defendant was Ady before the money was paid. _ _ _ Hammond, Esq., of Mincing-lane and Blackheath, a Magistrate for Kent, was next called—Recollects Mr. Teb butt's calling upon him on the 10th of July. He after wards accompanied that gentleman to the Circus, Minories. The witness now detailed what had passed, in which he fully agreed with the testimony of Mr. Tebbutt. Mr. John Lloyd, of Leather-lane, was one of the trus tees for 1001. stock invested in the name of his son. That stock was sold out in April, 1831, when his son came of age. This was the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. ADOLPH us addressed the Jury at considerable length on the part of the defendant, when a number of most re spectable witnesses spoke to the general good conduct of the defendant, of whom they declared they knew nothing but what redounded to his credit. Mr. Justice PATTISON summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. The defendant, who had hitherto sat under the bench, was then taken into custody and conveyed into the dock by one of the officers. He was sentenced to seven years' transportation. SENTENCES. About half-past seven the Recorder, attended by the Court, proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoners con victed during the present Sessions : DEATH.—After a most impressive address, the Recorder passed sentence of Death upon the following prisoners, viz.:— Isabella Hopes, for administering poison with intent to mur der ; Robert Kirby, for burglary ; Richard Eustace, for bur glary ; Thomas Johnson, for robbery ; George Wilson, for ditto ; and James Parker, for a like offence. The female, Hopes, appeared deeply affected, and throughout the address of the Recorder was held up in the dock. TRANSPORTATION FOR LIFE.—The following were trans ported for the term of their natural lives :—viz., Wm.

The sessions were adjourned to Thursday, the 19th inst. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. 7 'imothydllurphy was charged by Dean, a person employ ed by the Commissioners of Stamps, with having sold un stamped newspapers, the Weekly Police Gazette and the rivopenuy Weekly Dispatch. Witness saw the defendant sell 14 of those papers in the course of the morning, near London-bridge. The LORD MAYOR, upon looking over the papers in question, said that they contained political articles, articles of domestic intelligence, and most mischievous matter, calculated to do great injury to society, to diminish the re venue, and to interfere with the fair trader in legitimate newspapers. The defendant denied that he had sold any of the papers, or that he had ever seen any of the bundle produced. The LORD MAYOR—There is no doubt you are the offender, and I must stop this horrible nuisance. You shall go to Bridewell for three months. A boy was also committed to Bridewell for three months for selling similar unstamped papers, and The CORD MAYOR said he should invariably pursue the same course towards every body guilty of the offence. On Saturday, A old woman, named Anne Smith, was charged under the following odd circumstances .—Parish, a City policeman, stated that on the night before, the de fendant addressed him at the Mansion-house, sa3ing that her inside was bad, and she begged him, if he had the slightest feeling, to give her a small glass of brandy and water. Instead of finding relief from the medicine Parish kindly gave her, her features became suddenly distorted, and she was apparently seized with convulsive fits. To Parish's surprise, it now became evident that she was partly in liquor ; and on his conveying her to the Compter, she was so frightened at hearing the surgeon talk of draw ing several ounces of blood, that she became very calm, and offered to go home. Parish said that her case at first ex cited such sympathy that 7s. were collected for her, it being supposed that she was enceinte. The LORD MAYOR—Why, she is nearly 60 years old. A Policeman—No, my Lord, she is only 54.—(Laughter.) M r . Hobler—She does not look now in the way you speak of. I hope, young woman, you were not delivered in the streets of a wisp of hay or a bunch of old rags ? (Laughter.) Defendant.—Oh, my Lord, I never said any thing of the kind. I was really ill, but not of that illness. It was worse nor that ; but I can't mention it to your Lord ship, barring you please to see me in private.—(Laughter.) 'The LORD MAYOR—YOU will. IN so pod as to excuse me ; my curiosity does not extend to your private affairs. Parish—She appeared to rave a good deal when she was in fits. There wasn't a person who saw her that didn't be lieve she was serious. The 111414? M4IP4-,--:AVIAt did she rave about ? Pa rish--She spoke very incoherently ; she talked of fried fish and bars of iron. - The LORD MAYOR—Aye, she shall have bars of iron to look at, if ever I see her here again. Mind this, old Ivot ma n—if ever you come here to 1 1 M 31gVP' fits again, you shall go tOt Pridewoli, as sure as you love strong liquors, - Laughter.) Mrs. Smith then departed, evidently rejoiced at her escape. GUILDHALL. Robert Clq4 was broil& up fir final ekamination, on su spicion of stealing from the wareho use o f M essrs , down and Swainson, in Cateaton-street, a banker's parcel con taining 91.51. in Manchester notes. The parcel was made up at Glyn's to be transmitted to Manchester, enclosed, with a view of secrecy, in one of Messrs. Bown's packages ; but it was stolen by a man who came in at the same period with the prisoner, just in time to see where the parcel was placed, after Glyn's porter delivered it. The solicit or for the prosecution had no further evidence to offer, the private •information which he alluded to at the last bearing having failed to be of service. Although he had no moral doubt that the prisoner was implicated in the robbery, yet he felt there was not legal proof of the fact. The prisoner was then discharged. The solicitor explained that the paragraph in some of the newspapers that the bankers had compromised with the thieves for 51., was erroneous. They had received an ano nymous letter, promising to disclose for Si. where the thief might be apprehended, but it was believed to be a hoax. Two other members of the " swell mob," who gave their names Henry Eley and Edward Moore, were committed for trial, charged with stealing a gold watch and appen dages from Mr. Hind, an elderly gentlemen, residing in Burton•crescent, as he was looking in at a bookseller's window in Newgate-street. QUEEN-SQUARE. His Royal Highness Prince Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, was summoned before Mr. GREGORIE to an swer a complaint laid against him by Stapleton, the in former, in consequence of the Christian names of his Royal Highness not being legible on one of his carts. Stapleton in the beginning of the week met the cart. The inscription was almost illegible. The only words that could be read plainly were, " The Duke of Cumberland, Kew, Surrey." A gentleman attended on behalf of his Royal Highness. Mr. GREGOIHE did not consider that the informer had proved that the cart was the property of his Royal High ness, and told Stapleton that as the name was so much ob literated he ought to have taken it to the greenyard. Stapleton should have done so ; but he thought he should have been blamed for so doing, and therefore. took out a summons.—The case was dismissed. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE A few days ago a tide-waiter, who was doing duty on board a vessel called the Belfast, from Belfast, lying at Fresh Wharf, near Billingsgate, saw a sailor strike another of the crew, who appeared to be a mere lad, a violent blow without cause. The lad, who was called James, began to cry, and the tide-waiter, after having called the assailant a cowardly rascal for beating the boy, turned round and said to the latter, " Don't cry—why you are like a great girl." " Girl !" roared out the seaman, " you may say that ; she is a girl, the d—d bitch ; and blow me, if she makes any fuss about it, I'll let everybody know all about it." Sur prised at this information, which issued from the brute with a savage sincerity of manner, the tide-waiter did not delay inquiry, and he soon learned that the charge against the poor insulted person of being a female, was correct. News of this kind could not long be confined to few persons in such a neighbourhood as Billingsgate ; and the captain of the vessel finding that a general interest was excited, invited some gentlemen to see his phenomenon fly up the shrouds. Amongst those who went to witness the exhibition, were two gentlemen, who, perceiving the reluctance with which the order of the captain was complied with, and judging that such an unfeeling master was not the sort of person under whose guidance a child of misfortune was likely to be benefitted, asked the object of their interests to accompany them ashore, and let them know the history of so strange a metamorphosis, and point out to them in what manner they could render service in such an exigency. The girl, who Was at this time dressed in a red worsted jacket and duck trousers, consented to leave the vessel, although she appeared very anxious to receive five months' pay, which was due to her from her captain, at the rate of 21. 10s. a month ; but which he was just as anxious to retain, ex pecting that—by holding this menace of exposure over her,—she might be induced to abandon the claim alto gether. _ _ The history she gave was indeed a romantic one. Hay. ing stated her name, of which we are in possession, but which, from motives the reader will admit to be cogent as he peruses the story, we conceal, she said that some. years ago her father left Gloucestershire for Ireland, where, in a northern county, he carried on the business of a cornfactor, and lived respectably. Upwards of three years ago she became acquainted with, and soon afterwards attached to, the Captain of a vessel which traded to the next port. The attachment was mutual. The Captain was, however, obliged to sail for America, and thither, after having waited in vain for his return or intelligence about him, she deter mined to go. She then formed the extraordinory resolu tion of laying in a stock of sailor's clothes as well as female apparel, that she might, in the event of any emergency, adapt herself to it without the hazard of delay. Arrived in America, she proceeded to the place in which she hoped to hear some tidings of the man for whom she had made such a sacrifice ; but she had passed over the ocean only to see the turf that covered his remains. He had expired a few days before her arrival. The event she apprehended and had prepared for, had now arrived. She resolved to be a sailor herself, and succeeded in obtaining the situation of cook and steward on board a vessel sailing for the Medi terranean. Her swarthy complexion favoured the dece:.. tion, and for nearly two years she had been tossed al;but by sea and land, no human being ever having susPe'Lied during that time that she was other than what t v .ie appeared to be, with her cropped poll and jacket and trowsers. At length the secret was to be discovYred. About six months ago she engaged at Lisbon with the Captain of the Bel fast, as cook and steward, at 2/. 103. a month, and she sailed to many ports with him. One day, while she was washing in her berth, with her jacket loose in the front, one of the crew caught an accidental view of her bosom. He immediately expressed his astonishment, and threatened to inform the captain if she refused to consent to the only terms on which he would promise silence, and these terms being rejected in such a manner as to show the inefficiency of any future solicitation, everybody in the vessel was speedily acquainted with the fact that there was a " she" amongst them. The poor girl was from that moment doomed to suffer great misery. The captain thought that as he was the master of her fortunes for the time he ought also to be master of her person, and when he found that he had calculated too much upon his power, turned her out to work amongst the men, by whom she was upon all occa sions most grossly insulted. She declared that, upon one occasion, she saved her person from violation, by calling God to witness that she would prosecute every man in the ship, if they persevered in their attempts ; but the captain never even advised any abatement of the persecu tion she daily and hourly underwent. In the most despe rate weather she has been ordered up the shrouds, and her hands are now as hard as those of any man before the mast, and the gibes and jeers and curses of the rascally crew, was the language to which she had been constantly obliged to listen. The gentlemen to whom these circumstances were Ye cited would not permit the poor girl to return to the ves sel, which sailed next day ; and the captain succeeded, at least for a time, in his object of pocketing her wages, hav ing determined to resist upon the ground, that he had agreed to pay a man and not a woman. The gentlemen, after having provided for this extraordi nary person, for the present, in a respectable family, wrote to her father an account of the whole transaction, and in the course of the week an answer of a very favourable description will no doubt be received. THE POOR LAWS. BATH, FEB. 6.—For some days past, considerable ex citement has prevailed in Bath and its neighbourhood, in consequence of the conduct of the paid overseer of the parish of Freshford, and some proceedings which have been had upon the subject at the instance of Colonel Napier (the author of the " History of the Peninsular war"), Ad miral Trollope, Captain Burt, and several other gentle men. Colonel Napier appealed to the magistrates of the district to interpose to put a stop to a system of cruel treat ment pursued by the overseer, as it appears, for more than a year and a half past. The magistrates stated that they did not feel themselves competent to interfere effectually. Upon this answer Colonel Napier and the other gentlemen forwarded a memorial to the Poor Law Commissioners, praying their immediate interference. The Commissioners replied that the engagements of their Assistant Commis sioners were at that time (the 14th ult.) so urgent, to meet the demands for their services in other parts of the country, that no one of them could then be detached to investigate the case ; but, in the meantime, the Com missioners sent a copy of the charges of misconduct to the parish officers, and required they would answer them. The answer returned was not satisfactory to the Commissioners ; and on Friday last Charles Mott, Es q ., arrived at Freshford, forthwith summoned the parties before him, and examined Colonel Napier and other witnesses on oath, as to the conduct of the parish officers. At the commencement of the proceediogs, the Assi s t an t- Commissioner stated that his instructions from the Board upon this case were—to enquire whether there existed any foundation for the charge of past miscondu c t on the part of the assistant (overseer, so as that it might be necessary, for the future safe management of the paupers, that he should be dismissed from his office by the Board. He was also to inquire whether the case was one that required a public prosecution of the assistant overseer, or of the officers who might be inculpated with him ; and l as tl y , w h at steps m i g h t be required for the tromveuient of the existing administra- Owl gf relief to the paupers. Two of the paupers had died shortly before the arrival of the Assistant-Commissioner, The Juries found ' cases, the following verdict z—Verdief • . ir! two " That she came by her do- " on riamett Minns . fled that to" - by natural causes ; but we was culpable negligence on the part of the parish officers in the first part of her illness, during her re sidence in the workhouse of the parish. 7 Verdict on Thomas Hill, the idiot :—" By the visitation of God came by his death ; but the Jurors are of opinion that if proper nutriment had been supplied to the said Thomas Hill, he might have existed longer ; and they, therefore, pass a censure on the parish officers." The following are some of the facts deposed to by the witnesses : Colonel Napier visited the workhouse, and saw a Woman named Harriet Minns, who appeared to be in a most mi serable and destitute state. She complained of cold and hunger, and having no clothes to cover her except a share of Anne Freeman's coverlid and quilt. There was no fire in the room. The weather was cold, and the window , which was only two feet from the bed, was patched up with rags and paper. The old woman Freeman made use of the following complaint : " They do not wish to kill us outright , but. as we can't go before we are called we do bide and suffer." There was a horrible stench in the room. The Colonel relieved them with food and money, and after con sultinc, with some gentlemen of the parish it was deemed advisable to call a vestry to inquire into their wretched con dition ; but no vestry was called, nor was any reason as signed for not holding it. Anne Freeman was lying on the same bed with Minns, but in consequence of the constant coughing and general state of Minns she could never get any sleep. She had no bedclothes but her own. They were each allowed only Is. 6d. a week to subsist on, and they re ceived no medicine or other attendance, or relief whatever, from any of the overseers. Another pauper, Esther Sher herd, was on the floor, with no covering but a cotton co" vering of her on n, and she, too, had but Is. 6d. allowed her. Altogether, the poorhouse was so filthy as to be ellculated to produce a pestilence. The Gallant Colonel added that on appealing- to the Clerk of the Magistrates of the district he was told that the Magistrates did not feel competent to interfere under the new Bill, and that an application must therefore be made to the Poor Law Commissioners. Mr. Edwards and Captain Burt fully corroborated every part of Colonel Napier's statement. The latter gentle Man added, that he asked the paupers whether they were ever visited by the overseers of the parish ? Their answer was N o ," He likewise asked whether the Clergyman ever visited the poor-house ? Their answer was "No ; that be had not visited them' since he had been a non-resident , neither did he visit the poor-house when he did reside at Freshford." Captain Burt further deposed that upon inquiring of the assistant-overseer, Thomas Dike, whether he ever visited the workhouse, his (the overseer's) answer was " No ; an d I be - if ever I will." Arthur Joyce, Esq., who also corroborated the foregoing statement, added, that upon a former occasion Dike told him that whenever paupers complained to the Magistrates , he invariably made their fare the worse for it, otherwise he should be summoned three or four times a-week by paupers. Ann Coombs, who assisted in laying out the body of Su' sannah Hill, who died in the workhouse, deposed that the deceased was lying across the bed. There was no bedstead , and the head was lying on some rags on the floor. The bed was like a dung heap, in consequence of the filth that had run frorh the sores and other matter of the deceased. Sh e had nothing but an old black gown tied over her shoulders by her garters. The Rev. T. Spencer, in the absence of the Rev. Mr' Bythsea, the Rector, who was called on to perform the funeral service over the bodies of Hill and Minns, had never witnessed such neglect as tint evinced by the parish officers , whose duty it was to attend to such matters. After examining the witnesses, and personally inspecting, the workhouse, the Commissioner came to the resolution et recommending that the assistant overseer, Thomas Dike , should be immediately dismissed from his office ; that the severe censure of the Board should be passed on George Watts, churchwarden of Freshford, for his gross neglect and cruelty to the poor of that parish ; and, finally, the Commissioner has, we understand, recommended that Fresh• ford, with some of the surrounding parishes, be united to Bath or Bradford, for the purpose of procuring for the de' serving poor th ose com f orts, an d that improve parochial management, which it is the object of the Poor Law Coo' missioners to obtain for them. It is but justice to the other parochial officers to s tate , that no complaint whatever was alleged against theme - Observer. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday evening, an adjourned inquest was holden at the sign of the Phcenix, in East Smithfield, before gr; BAKER, the Coroner, touching the death of Mr. Edward Cheaper, a gauger in his Majesty's Custorms. From the respectability of the decened, and it being al leged that his melancholy death had 'oeen occasioned through the negligence of the servants bf the Dock Company, u l leaving the loop-holes throw g h which he had fallen into the vaults in so dangerous a state, the inquiry excited consicle' rable interest, and f l ae inquest-room, during the proceed' ings, was crowded almost to suffocation by Custom-house and Crown r' l 7cers, who are e m pl oye d in the St. Kathr rine's Dricks and others, as well as the friends of the de• eeas'ta, all of whom appeared deeply interested in the result' The Jury, previously to entering on the inquiry, pro" ceeded with th e C oroner , an d m i nute l y exam i ned the s pot where the unfortunate accident occurred. In d o ing this , they were attended by Sir John Hall, th e S ecre t ar y to the Dock C om p an y, w h o gave them every facility in his power' and minutely described the situation of the place where the accident occurred. After the Jury had returned to the inquest-room, evi' dente was adduced. The CORONER, in summing up, remarked that there W 0 not, in his opinion, anything in the present case to distill' guish it from some hundreds which came before him since, he held th e o ffi ce o f C oroner , i n w hi c h Jur i es returne 4 verdicts of " Accidental death" without feeling bound t° accompany it with any remark or censure. The Jury, after remaining in deliberation f or u p war ds of half-an-hour, ret urne d th e following verdict, which the l had written and handed to the Coroner : " The Jury are of opinion that the deceased came 17 Y his death by accidentally f a lli ng d own a loophole, at the ( I wharf of the St. Katherine's Dock ; and it is the opini° P of the Jury that gross negligence is attached to the Coto' pany's servants in not using due precaution to prevent sc . cidents at the said loophole." The Jury also requested the Coroner to write to Si r John Hall on the subject, in the hope that the danger woul d be remedied. The CORONER would most readily comply with the %vig il of the Jury, and he felt perfectly satisfied that the m atter would be at once attended to. The inquiry lasted upwards of four hours. It appears by a letter written to the Marquis de Ci'aq-Mars, in the reign of Louis XIII., by the celebratea Marion Delorme, that a man, confined in the Bicetre by the Cardinal de Richelieu as a mono-maniac, had discovered in t he application of the steam of boiling water a substitute for the power of man, and the force of water in directing various ol' e. rations. Marion Delorme saw this pretended madman during a visit which she paid to the Bicetre, in company with t he Marquis of Wor ces t er , w h o i s a l ways considered in England the first discoverer of the power of steam. We are ignorant whether this letter has been proved to be authentic.—Cou r " tier Francais. A FREE PA RDON.—A short time ago Mr. Jaine 2 Ogden, a jeweller and silversmith, residing in St. James' walk, Clerkenwell, was committed from Hatton-garden Volic e ; office to the Old Bailey on a charge of transposing the O a ' mark of the Gold s mith s ' C om p any f rom one r i ng to ono the; He was tried last sessi on , an d, a f ter a l ong i nqu i ry, ha yrs r found guilty ; the Jury s t rong l y recommended him to merc „ ' , ' believing he did no t trans f er t h e mark with a felonious in % tion. After the t r i a l th e l ea di ng go l dsm i ths in the metroP°',o examined into the f ac t s , an d t h e resu l t was that they cameo " the same conclusion a s th e J ury. A pet i t i on, s i gned by t h r. tradesmen, was therefore forwarded to his NlP:esty by 14 Flower, of the firm of Ald erman H armer an' Co., who CAA ducted the defence of the unfortunate nvl, and we are n ° o glad to state that it has b een th e means of restoring him to 11 liberty, the King having granted him a free pardon.
