OF THE PUBLiC JOURNALS. The Tory papers are making.a great outcry about tthe very simple fact of .Mr. O'Connell's having had the honour. of an invitation to dinner from the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. We can easily understand the ineaninr, of all this fury. The fortunes of the Tory Party are known to depend upon the now slender chap ces of a split among Reformers. If, therefore, they could excite jealousies on -the part of the more tiecided Liberals against - the Whig members of the Government ; or, acting upon a contrary tack, could (excite the prejudices of the Whig Aristocracy against the " English andlrish Radicals," it would be a grand step towards restoring the 'fallen fortunes of this now desperate faction. Mr. O'Connell has long been made the butt for their pointless ridicule and foul abuse, and every indiscreet or intemperate remark of- the lionourrble and Learned Gentleman furnishes volumes of comments for the hired retainers and hangers-on of Torx . ;ism. How great must be their mortification, therefore, to perceive that their poor spite is altogether thrown away, and that the union between Reformers of every shade, is as firm and as cordial as ever. If a Single passionate or abusive speech were to preclude a -man from enjoying the advantages which his talents and - political influence would naturally entitle him to expect, - where - would be the prominent members and leading 'debaters of the Tory party ? Has there been no un founded abuse on the other side ? Have there been no taunting and unmerited epithets applied by Tory writers and speakers against 'Mr. O'Connell and his liberal friends ? How ridiculous, therefore, is .this hypocritical clamour for the rigorous punishment of delinquencies of which the whole Tory party is more or less culpable. We have frankly expressed our sen- timents respecting the language held by Mr. O'Con nell upon one particular occasion. With equal frank . ness we hesitate not to say, that we rejoice to see that the talents and acquirements of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, and his acknowledged influence over the minds of his countrymen; have been duly ap.- preciated by his Majesty's representative, and that the, 'first lawyer and orator of Ireland has not been excluded. from the festivities of the Castle of Dublin.—Mornipg Chronicle. The " distinguished individual," as the Government papers were desired to call O'Connell, has fallen under the censure even of the sycophants who so nick named him, and the ground of their censure is the malicious and senseless insult he thought fit to pass upon the Duke of Wellington. -We should be glad if we could believe that this proceeds with all of them, as we know it does with some, from sincerity and sight feeling ; but we are sorry to say that the past conduct of more than one of these " public instructors" jus tifies us in attributing to fear—to fear of the just in dignation of that portion of the public that supports them, and not to their own sense of the atrocity of the offence, the rebuke they have brought theMselves to ad minister to the friend and ally of the Government and the guest of Lord Mulgrave. For instance, when it was pro posed to celebrate the anniversary of the Reformation, the proposition was indecently sneered at once or twice ; but speedily the scoffers changed their note, and waxed as sober and as serious in favour of that solemnity as though they had really attached either interest or im portance to it. It was clear, however, to every care ful observer, that the change was operated by the indignant remonstrances of their Protestant readers ; and it was manifest, moreover, that the language first used upon the subject, was the language of sincerity —that last employed the language .of 'affection. So here appearances are to .be preserved for a time, by a pretended shock at the foul 'attack_ upon the Duke of Wellington ; but at the same time, and as further evidence that their fears, and not their feelings influence them, one of these high-minded personages, in a Mi nisterial evening print, actually justifies the calling the Duke of 'Cumberland " a mighty great liar." But, supposing that all these writers have, as we ad mit some of them have, decency enough to shudder at O'Connell's brutality, and courage enough to de nounce it as it deserves, still, is that all the case re-. quires at their hands ? In our opinion it most cer tainly is not. We repeat, that this is no question of politics, but one that has reference only to society, whose laws arc daily outraged and trampled under foot by a rabid. slanderer that shelters himsseff from - the chastisement his, conduct deserves under a vow that he will :do his best.to preserve a whole skin. - Is this to be endured—are remonstrance and rebuke sufficient in the case of such a man.? Again we answer — No. If the bonds that hold society together, and that constitute the line of demarcation between the savage and the civilized ' state,' are to be pre served, the conduct of O'Connell must not be passed over so lightly. No village alehouse club— nay, not even the frequenters of any tap-room in Wapping, would tolerate such a person among them ; and if in any higher circle Q . C.onnell be admitted, his convenient example will be sure to spread until Eng • lish society is stained with all _iliC . coarserress, .but re lieved by none of the courage, which characterize the social intercourse of barbarians. But whatever the organs of the Ministers may think or say upon this subject, the Ministers themselves cannot, as public men, they cannot,- consistently with their duty to the - Crown and to the country, allow the matter to stop here: The disgrace of having entertained such a per son as O'Connell at the Vice-regal Lodge must be repaired : and, even if the bond of union between the Ministry and O'Connell were personal and private, as well as political—and this would be such unspeak- . able-degradation that it is not for a moment to be supposed—still the Government could not avoid ta king such a course as will effectually relieve them froM any permanent share in the stigma which must for ever attach to the modern Thersites.—Times. Our Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburg seems to be made happy . .by the hollow Smiles and treacherous hospitality of the representative of the Russian Autocrat at Constantinople, while his Sove reign and his- country. are grossly insulted by the _ex clusion of the British flag from the .Black Sea, in obe dience to . Russian dictation. It may be very pleasing to the weak vanity of Lord Durham to be feasted, danced, fopdled, and most agreeably befooled by the wily diplomatists of Russia, but the insults which he has allowed to be put upon the British flag will not be very gratifying to the national pride .of:the people who were not long ago the rulers of the ocean. What burn= ing shame would be stamped upon the brows of Rodney and of Nelson, if they had lived to see the humiliation which, under our Whig Government, has been in flicted upon the " meteor flag of England"—the once glorious ensign of that great country whose thunders they bore over they subject seas, until no enemy re- - mauled to dispute the sceptre of naval supremacy with " Whose march is o'er the mountain waves, Whose hope is on the deep." The first insult that Lord Durham, as representative of the Majesty of England, had to endure, was on the part of the Porte, in not giving orders to return the salute fired by the Barham until remonstrances had taken place and six hours had elapsed. As to the poor imbecile Sultan being completely in the hands of the Russian functionaries, he neither offers insults nor shows civilities to British Authorities now, but just as those Russian functionaries are pleased to direct. Stolid indeed must Lord Durham be if he is not sen sible of this. Yet though insulted in the first instance by the Turkish vassal of Russia, his first act was to hasten, with servile alacrity, to partake of the festivities of M. Bouteneif, who was celebrating the anniversary of the coronation of the Imperial Destroyer of Poland For this obsequious homage to the Autocrat, he was rewarded by being prohibited from sailing in the Bar ham frigate through the Bosphorus into the'Black Sea, and being left the alternative of returning home as lie came, or transferring himself into the Pluto steamer, to prove to all the world that a British vessel of war dare not enter the Black Sea any more than if it were a Russian lake—the midisputed property of the barbarian " protector" of Turkey. Well might the Russian Ambassador afford to give a ball in honour of Lord Durham, while the flag under which he sailed to Constantinople was thus dishonoured; but here again occurred an instance of even Turkish contempt for his Lordship, for although 20 Pachas were invited, only one condescended to grace the ball with his presence. Had ,Lord Durham sailed up the Dardanelles, and through the Bosphorus in a British threedecker, proudly maintaining the dignity of the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, .1835. a single yard of those goods was there ; and the quantity of any kind of goods was very small indeed. Mr. Hort, when witness sent to that person's warehouse, . and identified those cases which had been removed in the in terim, gave them up at once, without attempting to keep them. The amount in value of the goods found at Hort's was from 8001 to 1,0001. Witness afterwards went back to Belfast, and found in Hamilton's counting-house the bills of lading of the goods to Rotter and Co. Witness here produced some patterns of checks which he said Hamilton showed to him, and said he had got an order for goods agreeing with there from his friends at Hamburgh. He could not state the exact number of bales of the Belfast goods missing, but he saw in Woolf's warehouse goods to the amount of from 4,0001. to 5,0001. He had given credit himself. to . Hamilton for 6001. worth of goods, which had not been paid for ; but Hamilton had paid him 4001. for goods. The amount of goods belonging to the other mer chants was between 4,0001. and 5,0001. Upon comparison of the bills of lading with the cases found in Woolf's ware house, it was found that the marks 'were all changed. Where a 5 was the original number, it was made 15 ; and where the original letters were I F, they were turned into D E. All the bales of goods he ascertained had been taken off from Rotter's to Woolf's without delay. Wit ness went to Liverpool-Wharf to tell the proprietor to de tain six bales which he heard had been coming from Liver pool, and were part of the Belfast goods ; and while he was there Mr. Woolf appeared and claimed them. Mr. Bates refused to deliver them up without consulting his attorney. Mr. Bodkin, after regretting the serious losses sustained by the Belfast merchants, begged to ask the witness whe ther Bryson was not the first person that told him that Hamilton was a partner in the firm of " Malasius Schneider and Co. ?" Witness—No ; Hamilton was the first. Bryson acted as clerk to him. Mr. Bodkin—Bryson is not here I believe. Pray did y'u ask him to come ? Witness—No ; I can't recollect what I might have said to him, but he said that he was very willing to give any information that he could on the subject. I think it very likely I said we should shortly require him. Mr. Frederick Boson, an attorney, went to Hamburgh, according - to directions, to make inquiry concerning the firm of " Malisius Schneider and Co." He arrived at Ham burgh on the 18th of September, and went to the English Consul, by whom, upon his showing the Lord Mayor's signature, all facilities were afforded. Witness advertised upon the subject, applied to the merchants, at the police offices, to the postman, on the market-place, in the coffee houses, to the mailman, who had been twenty-three years in the employment, and examined the " Directory,"'and he could find no such firm as " Malisius Schneider and C 0.," or as " Schneider and Co." Mr. W. A. James, a solicitor, proved that Simon Josephs had been a bankrupt, and had also gone by the name of George Frederick Hamilton. Witness knew Hamilton's handwriting, and believed that in the bill for 1201 . pro duced to b his. Mr. Bodkin--There is not the least doubt of it. Mr. Bell, having been called again, said, in. answer to questions from Mr. Bodkin, that he had not carefully looked through all the goods in the possession of the Lord Mayor, but he saw goods of his own and of the other merchants, which never had been paid for. Air. Bodkin called for dates and particulars, as indispen sably necessary in a case of this kind. Mr. Hort, at his own request, was examined. He` had known Mr. Woolf for many years, but had never seen him write.. Often had bills of parcels, but never letters from him. He wished to make -a remark as to the erasure of the marks on the cases which he had got from Mr. Woolf's warehouse. He had been under treaty for buying the whole of the cases, and as he was shipping goods to his son in America he directed that if those cases were sufficiently strong the old marks should be erased, and other marks put on. Witness unluckily knew Sirneon'Josephs , for lie lost 4,0001. by him about twelve years ago. He did not know whether Mr. Woolf and Josephs were or were not ac quainted. Did not know that Josephs was called Hamilton, but heard that be had assumed it afterwards. After the account about the seized goods appeared in the newspapers witness directed that his porter should keep those which he had had from Mr. Woolf. On the 4th of September the cases were received by him, and were to lie for examination and approval. - Mr. Bell—lt was on the 3d of September I first went into Mi. Woolf's premises. . Mr. Bodkin then addressed the Lord Mayor upon the part of Mr. Woolf, who, he said, so.far from having any objection to the issue of a warrant for the apprehension of so profligate a fellow as Hamilton, wished that he might immediately be traced out, and was anxious to aid by his purse, and in any other way to bring him to punishment. With respect to the application to give up the property to the Belfast merchants, that, he contended, could not in law or justice be conceded, as Mr. Woolf had, as was evi dent from all that had been stated, become possessed of the goods by - a bona fide transaction. . • Mr. Bodkin then denied the right of the Lord Mayor to issue a warrant, and seize upon the goods, and said that he' was borne out in-that opinion by the Attorney-General and Mr. Pollock. That question would, however, be tried in another place. Mr. Phillips then called Mr. Wm. Langton, who said —I am a clerk in the Post-bill Office. in the Bank of En gland. I produce, a request in writing for a post bill for 500/. I have also the bill given for it. The - request is as follows: " .£5OO. " Five hundred pounds, a bank post bill, accepted in favour of Mr. Joseph C: Lyons, value received from M. Woolf, 11, Addle-street, Wood-street. " July 98, 1835." Ido not know Mr. Woolf. This is the bill which was made out. Witness produced a Bank post-bill, dated the 28th of July, 1835, made out for 5001. in favour of Joseph C. Lyons, for value received of Mr. Woolf. Mr. Bodkin desired the bill and request to be banded over, and after looking at it, admitted that it was in Mr. Woolf s writing. Mr. William Waller, clerk to Mr. Ashurst, the Attor ney, had traced this bank post-bill to have been changed at Liverpool by Mr. Lyons for notes of 1001. each, part of which were afterwards given for bills on the Irish bank at Belfast, in favour of Malisius Schneider and Co. The clerk at the Branch Bank Office at Liverpool stated to witness that he recollected the circumstance quite well, in conse quence of Mr. Lyons not wishing to put his name on the back of the post-bill, and that there were other occasions in which Mr.. Lyons had made similar objections. Mr. Bodkin asked whether Mr. Phillips intended to ex tend the application to Mr. Woolf, who was present, and ready to answer? He ridiculed the idea that the evidence just produced proved that Mr. Woolf had supplied money to carry on the fraud, and declared that his client had paid Mr. Lyons, not only on that occasion with a bank post-bill, but upon numerous other occasions. The fact bad been repeatedly admitted. Mr. Woolf had, he declared, offered every facility to the police officer upon the application at his office. Daniel Forrester denied that such facility was afforded. On the co'ntraty, Mr. Woolf, upon the arrival of Mr. Sid ney, his attorney, tried to put him (Forrester) out, but it would not do. Mr. Phillips—Did not Mr. Woolf draw a sword upon you ? Witness—He did ; but I was not afraid that any thing would arise from that. Mr. Phillips—But is that what you call giving every, faci lity ? Mr. Bodkin said that his client was certainly and most reasonably disposed to resist the attempt upon being told by his attorney that the warrant was illegal. The goods which were removed from the premises of Mr. Woolf after the first seizure was made were removed upon the same principle, in order not to be subjected to a similar inconve nience resulting from an illegal act of the Magistrate. Mr. Phillips quoted the 7th and Bth of George IV. upon a suggestion from Mr. Hobler, the chief clerk, to prove that the Lord Mayor was, notwithstanding all that had been said about the Attorney-General and Mr. Pollock, perfectly justified in issuing the warrant. He spoke of the high obli gations under which the commercial world was to his Lord ship for the prompt and benevolent manner in which he had acted all through this case, and said that the decision of his Lordship was looked for with the greatest possible interest in a case which every body saw was one of a very atrocious character. _ _ The LORD MAYoR said that he had, upon first hearing the circumstances, decided upon an immediate issue of the warrant, and he must say that he had had no c a u se t o re gret that determination. He was himself no l aw y er , b u t he acted upon the advice of his chief clerk, by whose able assistance he was prevented, upon occasions where legal knowledge was necessary, from going vnvng. He was prepared to defend the course he had adopted in any place, and he rejoiced that in a case of such enormous plunder he had thrown his official protection over the plundered. He gave no opinion as to Mr. Woolf. He had given no opi nion as to that person ; but it was palpable that a most abominable conspiracy had been worked up against those who had applied to him for protection and aid. He should at once grant a warrant for the apprehensi on o f Hamilton, but as to the goods in question, he should, acting upon the sound advice of his chief clerk, continue to hold them until a Jury should decide who were best entitled to them. His Lordship concluded by expressing a fervent hope that justice would be done in the fullest manner. Mr. Phillips expressed himself fully satisfied at the deci sion of the Lord Mayor, and the parties left the office. hawking Cleave's Police Gazette and the Twopenny Dis- Pach, and was eloquently commending his unstamped wares to the crowd, who surrounded him, and pocketing their twopences, when the inspector interfered and attempt ed to seize , him. He escaped through the crowd from the inspector, however, but was stopped by a police constable, 23 G, and he then threw down his papers in the street and made a violent, resistance, appealing to the crowd for as sistance, declaring that he was no thief, but a poor man endeavouring to earn a bit of bread honestly, and ought not to be hauled away by, any policeman. He was at length secured and locked up. Gladwell, the police constable, produced seven of the two-penny publications which the prisoner had thrown down in the street when stopped by him. Dean, being sworn, stated that he saw the prisoner sell several of the papers before he interfered, and he had seen the prisoner selling them before. The prisoner said he could get no work at his trade, and it was that that induced him to engage in the sale of such publications. _ He was committed to prison for one month. The Magistrate said it would be desirable that, instead of the poor creatures who hawked the papers about, the persons who published and supplied the papers to them should be sought out and punished for their illegal proceed ings. A similar remark being made by another of the Ma gistrates before whom a vendor of the unstamped was brought a few days .since, Dean, the inspector, replied that an attempt had lately been made at a great expense to effect that object and had failed, and all they could do at present was to apprehend those whom they found selling the papers. British nation, and the flag of his country, neither TUrk nor Russian would have dared to insult him. On his former mission he was received at the Russian Court with overwhelming proofs of that cheap civility which crafty politicians have always at command ; but as to the objects of his mission, whether it related to Belgium or - Poland, or both, he was sent empty handed home. The Belgian question is still unsettled, and from that tithe unhappy Poland was treated with more merciless rigour than ever. It appears that Lord Durham, at an entertainment, toasted the Turkish Navy, as our Correspondent has stated. He made a speech on the occasion, in which he alluded, we think very maladroitly, to the " untoward event" at Navarino, expressing a hope that when the English and Turkish fleet fought again, it would be on the same side, against their common foes. On this subject the Standard makes the following just obser vations :—" This is precious foolery ; who are the common foes to Turkey and England to whom Lord Durham alludes ? Well does he know, but dares not tell. All the civilities and soft speeches to - finks and Russians did not procu r e for his Excellency a passage of the Bosphorus in a vessel of war. He sailed on the 15th in the Pluto, and,as a parting compliment to show - who are masters in the Straits, and who are not, a Russian vessel anchored off Bujukdere, saluted the Pluto while passing, and the Pluto having no guns on board, the Barham acted as her proxy in returning the salute. How the Turkish Pachas, who (per Rus sian order, no doubt) declined offering any mark of attention to the British Ambassador,must have sneered at this petty compromise." Well might they sneer when the representative of British Majesty, and the countryman of Blake and Nelson acted so pusillani- Mous a part.—Morning Herald. .There is a homely but expressive pro Verb, which describes the_ Saucepan calling the kettle black. It does not appear whether the aforesaid saucepan was, at the -time of its objurgation, many shades lighter than its compeer ; but We ,presunie that this compara tive less degree of sootiness must have been the case to.- haVb furnished some handle for the unmingled blackness of the censure ; at .all. events, it is fair to presnme that the saucepan was not quite so black as the 'kettle it impugned. A Conservative print yester day morning, however, quite upsets this reason able view of the matter ; for it not only calls the kettle black, in the case of Mr. O'Connell, but ex hibits at the same time an unparalleled concentra tion and depth of sootiness in its own columns. In the same breath, and in the same article, wherein it accuses him of using language which would dis grace a " a drunken fish fag," it pours out upon its victim a torrent of vituperation, with which no cess pool or kennel in Dyot-street -or Billingsgate, if emptied at once of all their unsavoury contents, could pretend to-vie. To show that we have not overstated the case, we will merely cull the flowers of objurgatory rhetoric of yesterday morning from the Conservative print to which we refer. We will take them in rota tion—" Rancorous • foul-mouthed ruffian "—" prac tised blackguard"—" brazen bully"—" coarse brute" —n savage '—" loathsome and licentious - blackguard" —" libel upon humanity"—" curse and shame of Ire land." Now we put it to our reasonable readers whethei the use of this language is the way to prose any obnoxious individual " foul-mouthed," or whether it is likely to produce any other effect than to prove the writer himself to be " foul .mouthed." We began with an adage, and may con tinue in the same strain. There is an Italian proverb which says, Chi sputa al vento, si sputa . sul memo; he who spits .at the wind, &c., &c. We apprehend the effect of an article like that in question is pretty much the same as that described in the Italian'pro verb : the sputatore or disputer gets all the benefit of his labour of love for his pains. But seriously, we ask, - is- this the language of educated tentlemen which the leaders of the press ought to maintain ? Is this the way to raise the character, or augment the in fluence of the press ? Is this, in short, the way to effect the purpose which the writer has in view ? Ceitainly not. Language such as this, we repeat, would whitewash the darkest character, - and enlist the popular sympathy on the side of the worst. It is, moreover, the admitted language of factious and beaten aignment ; for it is aninference no less - conimon than true, that the party which first loses his temper is the , humiliated or .the' vanquished party. It is not the language •of gentlemen—that is equally certain. Is it the language of tlie. Christian religion ? We hfave that to the High Church evening colleague of 'the Conservative morning print to which we refer, re minding him of the scriptural passage which forbids the use of any vituperation even to the blackest of black characters. "Evew Michael, the Archangel," says die authority we refet • to, " when.. contending with .Satan, refused to bring against him a railing accusa tion."_ This is the spirit of the Christian religion, and this is the spirit which ought to actuate gentle men and men of education.—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday the case in - which the Belfast merchants, who were plundered some time ago by a swindler named Simeon Josephs alias George Frederick Hamilton, of muslin and other goods, to the amount of between 4,000/. and 5,000/., came on before the Loan MAYOR. The goods in question had been seized under a search warrant granted by the Lord Mayor, and considerable de lay has been occasioned on the question of restitution of the property, by the complicated nature of the evidence. Mr. C. Phillips on behalf of the respectable inhabitants of Belfast, applied in the first place for a warrant against a person who had represented himself as a Mr. George 'Frederick Hamilton, and in the next for the restitution of a large quantity of goods, obtained by fraud, and by means of the most nefarious conspiracy. In May Hamilton ar rived at Belfast, and contrived to get acquainted with a person named Bryson, whom he made an instrument, but an unconscious one, of a moat flagitious system of rob bery. By Bryson Hamilton was introduced to Mr. Bell, of whoms he took a counting-house, and to whom he represerrted himself to be a partner in the house of Mali sius Schnieder and Co. of Hamburg. Business transactions commenced, and Hamilton having paid ready' money in his first dealings, obtained the confidence of that gentleman and o"thers in the town, and finally decamped after having got piissession of nearly 5,000/. worth of goods, for whic he gilt bills accepted by him in the name of Malisius Schneider • •uact Co , a firm which never existel' Mr. Phillips said it F , was quite unnecessary for him to state that these acts upon "the part of Hamilton were acts of forgery as completely as if he had accepted bills in the name of an existing esta blishment. Mr. William Bell, a Quaker, and partner with his uncle in Belfast, stated that Bryson, who was respectable, but had been unfortunate, introduced to him in May last Hamil _ton, who took a counting-house of him at 71. a year, and fixed up a board over it with the names " Malisius Schneider and C 0.," in which firm, resident in Hamburg, Hamilton said he was a partner. Several money dealings took place between them at first, but afterwards Hamilton• said that his remit tances were sometimes delayed a few days, and his bills were taken. Hamilton told witness that the principal market of the house was the fairs of the Continent, where they disposed of large quantities at a great profit. The goods were all packed for the foreign market. Witness saw Hamilton write on the bill of 21 days for 1201., produced, the name of the firm of " Malisius Schneider and C 0.," as acceptors. It became due September 1, in Belfast. Having every reason to believe that Hamilton was a swindler, he went, depu ted by tie other persons who had been losers, in search of the goods. He found that they had been sent from Belfast to the House of Rotter and Co., in. Mersey-street, Liverpool, a shabby, ruined-looking plaee, with " James Rotter and Co." over the door. He could not find Rotter, but he had ascertained that Rotter had taken the place about the time that Hamilton arrived at Belfast, and had disappeared from Liverpool at the time that. Hamilton left Belfast. He found that the goods had been drawn to dif ferent stores by different carters, and that no single carter had carried two loads. Rotter was called " the little Jew fellow" in the place, and was considered with suspicion. At last witness traced the goods to. Mr. Woolf's warehouse, where, on mentioning the business he was upon, a person who was with Mr. Woolf started up, and ran out, saying, " Mr. Woolf, I'll see you presently." That person he be lieved to be the brother, who was intimate with Hamilton at Belfast. Witness saw his goods and those of the other merchants in Woolfe's warehouse. At the suggestion of Daniel and John Forrester, the officers, he noticed the par ticular marks on the cases. A week afterwards he saw the same cases at the warehouse of a person named Hort, but there were no marks upon them. The marks had evidently been planed off. Witness and the offi cers took away some of the goods from Woolf's ware house, but left behind from 1,500/. to 2,000/. worth. Upon the arrival of Mr. Stuart another of the losers, witness went again ,to Mr. Woolf's warehouse, but not WORSHIP-STREET. A young man, named James Ward, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, and charged by Josiah Dean, a Stamp Office inspector, with selling unstamped newspapers. It appeared from the evidence that, about half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening he was in Whitecross-street BOW-STREET. In our Bow-street report in Saturday's paper we men tioned the application of Mr. Clarke, a surgeon at Hoxton, for a warrant against a young gentleman named Waring, who had been articled to him, with a premium of 3001., aiid had recently absconded to enter into the service of Donna Isabella of Spain. Yesterday Mr. Clarke, and Keyse the officer, accom panied by a brother of the young gentleman, an attorney at Lyme Regis, Dorset, came before Mr. HALLS, and Mr. Clarke stated that they Went to Woolwich on Friday even ing, and after searching several vessels they proceeded on board the Royal Tar, which was nearly filled with' volun teers for the service of the Queen of- Spain. They were ' , obstructed on going up the side of the vessel, and would have been prevented from going on board but for the deter mino conduct of Keyse, who showed his authority, and in sisted upon searching the ship. They found the object of their search, and he appeared in a miserable condition. He was shaking with cold, very slenderly clad in attire of the meanest description, for which he said he had been com pelled to pay. He said he was heartily sick of the situa tion in which be had placed himself, and would most cheer fully return to his employer. Several had escaped from the Royal Tar by swimming ashore in the night, and. he would have done the satne if be could have swam with suf ficient strength. He added that he had been supplied with money by some ladies to whom he had communicated his determination to go to Spain, but he was not allowed to procure himself any additional comforts. He came to Lon don with Mr. Clarke and the officer, and the former was so satisfied with his promises that he was anxious to with draw the 'proceedincrs. Mr. HALLS said he was glad the young gentleman had returned to a sense of his duty, and the case ended. The Royal Tar was to have sailed in a few hours. MAR YLEB ONE. DETERMINED A;;;;;;;;iliJiinEa.—Last night John Wales, a middle-aged man, of athletic frame, having the ap pearance of a bargeman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with the followinc , diabolical attempt to murder Mr. Thomas Hughes, chief clerk to Messrs. Robins, Mills, and Co., wharfingers, of No. 5 Wharf, Paddington. Prosecutor having been sworn, stated that the prisoner was formerly in the employ of the above firm as Captain to one_of their boats, but about three weeks ago was discharged in conseqnence of drunkenness and neglect of duty. He had frequently seen him since about the wharfs, but had not spoken to him. That morning, about ten o'clock, he was in a stable in the adjoining wharf, belonging to Messrs. Thomas and Frederick Meredith, with whom he was con - versing, when the prisoner made his appearance at the door, and, addressing witness, accused him of doing him (the pri soner) an injury by procuring his discharge from his situa-1 tion. He only smiled at this accusation, telling him that if any injury was done he had done it through his own ne gligence ; when the pripner, without saying anything more, drew his right hand from under his jacket pocket, where it had hitherto been concealed, and, presenting a pistol firmly grasped in it, at witness's head, drew the trigger, when fortunately it missed fire, and only flashed in the pan, he at the same time exclaiming, " I'll be d—d if I. don't shoot you," and was about to put some more powder in the pan, when Mr. Thomas Meredith rushed forward and wrested the deadly weapon from his grasp, and, assisted by his brother and witness, who had partly recovered from the surprise and shock his feelings had sustained, held him secure till a policeman came up, who took him into custody. The prisoner did not appear sober, and the inspector at the station-house thought him so drunk that he proposed to lock him up till the evening sitting. Mr. Thomas Meredith, who resides at No. 108, Edge ware-road, corroborated the prosecutor's statement, and added that be was- so astounded at first sight of the pistol, that be could not move. • On the prisoner pulling the trig ger, however, and, wresting the weapon from his grasp, ex claimed, " You assassin, deliver up the pistol ; you've done enough to be hung by attempting to shoot an innocent man," to which the prisoner coolly replied, " I was born to be hung, and I don't care if I'm hung for this." Witness did not consider him drunk, as he acted throughout with the greatest deliberation, and took a steady aim at the prosecutor. Police constable T 9 deposed that on taking the prisoner to the station-house he said, " By God, I meant to shoot him. I bought the pistol on purpose." Witness did not think he was drunk, but he appeared in a very excited state. He bad since found that the pistol was loaded with powder and a quantity of small shot. (The pistol was here produced, and was about the size of a common duelling pistol.) Witness also found some powder and shot in his pockets. There being no further evidence, Mr. ltAvviatisoN asked the prisoner, who lolled carelessly in the dock, if he wished to say anything, advising him to consider the situation in which he stood, as the case affected his life. • Prisoner—l did it because I, suspected that he was the cause of my being discharged from my employers, and I knew that my family would, in consequence be brought to poverty. He was then fully committed to Newgate for trial. THAMES POLICE. SMUGGLING. IMPORTANT CONVICTION.— Yesterday Moss Jonas, a Jew, appeared before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Combe, to answer a Custom-house information, charg ing him with having in his possession 561bs. of snuff, 221bs. of tobacco, and 39 Chinese images, which had not paid duty. The circumstances of the seizure, with 1,4001bs- of fine powder, adapted for the adulteration of snuff, with 'other contraband goods, on the 22d of May last, must be fresh in the recollection of our reactors. On the informa tion charging the defendant with knowingly concealing and harbouring the tobacco, snuff, and images, being read over he pleaded guilty, with a loud voice, and said, " Please your Worship, I am quite a guilty man, I know I did wrong, but I have three small children left for me to protect, without a mother, and if I go to prison they must go to a workhouse." Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Combe, after a long consulta tion, sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 501. to the King, and the costs of the prosecution, and condemned the goods laid in the information. In default of payment the prisoner was committed to Clerkenwell prison, there to remain during the pleasure of the Crown. "Speaking of passports, which are a necessary evil, invariably accompanying all foreign excursions, brings to my recollection the following anecdotes :—A poor Gascon, who had committed himself at Marseilles, by some impru dent bravados for Napoleon, wished to get out of the town before any danger happened. He got a passport, by means of two francs and the signatures of two friends. H av ing shaved himself that morning, they described him, beard none ; " complexion, none: Perhaps he was not very blooming. On the second evening a gendarme in spected his passport. His beard had grown. Beard, none ? ' said the g none?, and e ndm y a o r u e ' are perfectly you hav e a yellow. The beard. p a s Co s porn rt is Pi e f x a ° s e n ; you must wait here for another.' In vain the Gascon protested ; lac was obliged to send his paper back to Marseilles, where they added complexion pale ; " beard, black.' He was on fbot. The third day he fell down and se veral contusions dreadfully inflamed his face. Com plexion pale ? said the inspector, in the evening, you have the reddest face I ever saw. Nose, middling? and your nose is enormous. You have also a scar on your chin. This passport is false : send for another.' Again the paper was sent to Marseilles ; and the poor man was two months on his journey, instead of 20 days. Another time, an old pensioner returned rather late to Paris, after dining in the country. At the barrier he was asked for his admission ticket. He pulled out of his pocket the bill of fare he had • t paid, and presented it. The inspector put on his ins spePt H. 1 ,2,1, and boitan to read.-4 Calf's head ;' horn ! that is good ; they have amused themselves in describing feet f ha, ha ! not very polite ; sheep's ears ;' duck's breast ;' that is odd. Pass on, citizen ; with such a description, you cannot be very dangerous.' "--Letters from Brussels. CORONERS' INQUESTS MORE Loss OF LIFE ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING HAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday evening, at half-past five o'clock, an inquiry took place in the long room of Chalk Farm Tavern, near Primrose-hill, Kentish-town, before Mr. Stirling and a• respectable Jury, to inquire touching the death of William Odwell, aged 28, which was occasioned by the earth falling in upon him whilst at work in the shaft of the London and Birmingham Railroad, now forming near Primrose-hill. The investigation excited a very unusual degree of inte rest, from the circumstance of so many individuals having lately perished whilst employed in similar undertakings in different parts of the country. Mr. Berkenshaw, the acting engineer, and several other gentlemen connected with the Company, attended, for the purpose of affording every in formation in their power relative to the unfortunate occur- rence. Mr. Berkenshaw, the acting engineer, produced an ex tensive plan of the works, and pointed out to the Jury the situation the deceased was in at the time the earth fell in. Several of the Jury stated that they had visited the shaft and other parts of the works of the tunnel, that they might be the better enabled to judge of the cause of the catastrophe. A long discussion took place respecting the practicability of carrying on the undertaking without the so frequent loss of human life ; but which was irrelevant to the death of the unfortunate deceased, and, the Coroner havinc , summed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict " That the de ceased was accidentally suffocated by a quantity of earth falling upon him." The deceased has left a widow and three orphans. SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday an inquisition was holden before Mr. Higgs, at the Rising Sun, Charles street, Grosvenor-square, on - view. of the body of a man un known, about 23 years of age, who drowned himself in the Serpentine river. Verdict—" That the deceased drowned himself in the Serpentine 'river, but in what state of mind he was at the time there was no evidence before the Jury." DEATH OF AN, INFANT.—Last evening an inquiry took place at the Horse and Groom public-house, Castlestreet, Leicester-square, before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for West minster, and a highly respectable jury, concerning the death of a new-born female; which was found at the corner of a court-yard of St. James's Palace. Several- witnesses were examined, but no important facts were elisitedfrom their evidence. Adjourned until further evidence { be procured. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-- r esterday even ing an inquest was held iii the Board-room of Middlesex Hospital, before Mr.Stirling l ,kin view of the body of Bridget Rourke, aged nine yearsoVhose death was occasioned by being run over by a covered cart, the property of Messrs. Guiders and Co., salt-merchants, of the City-road basin. The Jury returned, a verdict of- " Accidental Death." Deodand on the horse and cart, 5/. , • FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, at the George and Dragon, Barrett-street, Lambeth, on ihe body of Nicholas Kenward, many years a Carrier on the Brixton ro:_d, who came by his death in the following violent man ner :- - Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, attended on behalf of Mr. Robert Planner and Mr. James Frisk, tradesmen, who had undergone an examination at Qneen-square Police Office, charged with the death of the decased. John Lee, servant to the deceased, deposed that, at half past six o'clock on Friday evening, he was returning from London to Brixton, his master driving at a slow trot. Just as they had turned the turnpike on the. Clapham road, a chaise driven at a rapid rate came in contact with the er rand cart, and turned it over upon the footpath. The de ceased either attempted to jump out or was thrown out by the violence of the concussion. There was abundance of room for both vehicles to have passed. The chaise was also overturned, and the two persons in it were thrown out, and received considerable injury. In answer to questions from Mr. Humphries, the wit ness said that the night was very dark. His master was perfectly sober, and was driving very steadily on his right side Of the road. Other evidence was given to the same effect. After an investigation of upwards of five houi.s, the Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Planner only. The deceased, who was a man of family, had been a carrier on the Brixton road for upwards of twenty, years, and was greatly respected. , Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, the following melancholy ,occurrence took place at the residence of Mrs. Beaumont, Upper Baker-street, Dor set-square, to Mrs. Elizabeth Murdock (mother of Mrs. Beaumont), an old lady upwards of 80 years of age. It appears that the servant had lighted the bed-room fire, and had imprudently left the poker in the fire. During the thine Mrs. Murdock was dressing the poker fell out, red hot, unobserved by the, unfortunate old lady, who, from extreme deafness, did:enot hear it fall ; part of her night-dress caught fire, and before any assistance ,could be rendered her she was sc; dreadrUlly burnt That no probable hopes are entertained for her recovery. OTTERS.—On Thursday, while the sun was shin ing brightly on the river, some persons loitering,about the Old Bridge discerned an otter, under one of the arches, beating up the stream, as this voracious animal generally swims against the•current in pursuit of prey. The intelli gence soon spread, and a crowd flocked to the banks of the river, some provided with guns. Three or four otters were now visible, darting about the arches of the bridge. Seve ral shots were spent without success, but at length a lad on the bridge fired down his piece with effect. The blood mounted up, and after one or two convulsive tumbles, one of the otters sailed down the river dead. It was afterwards taken out and found to be of the usual dimensions, between two and three feet long. The others escaped unmolested. Our river is at times much infested with otters. The villanous vermin," as old Izaak Walton, with the true spirit of an angler, styles them, generally seize upon trout and salmon, and having taken a few choice bites from the most delicate part of the fish, they leave it to float in useless and lifeless putridity.—lnverness Courier. Now that the herring- fishing is over, and the har vest is nearly all completed, Wick and its neighbourhood have sunk into a state of dullness and inactivity, pretty general at this season. The harvest of the sea has been abundant ; but some of the correspondents of the Edin burgh papers exaggerate its extent. The average at Wick will be about 130 trans each boat. Finer herrings were never eaught on the coast of Caithness, either as respects size or flavour. The_ fishings all along the shores from Orkney to Banff have been good. _Shetland alone has proved a failure ; according to the latest information, the quantity of fish taken there was not equal to the produce of the smallest station in Caithness. The price of cured herrings continues very low, and the sales dull, a circum stance .not easily accounted ,for in the present healthy and flourishing state of the manufacturing and other. districts. We have often expressed our, regret, that. Wick should be wholly dependent on the heving fishing. Fortunately, a beginning has at length been made. Last week a gentle man from Greenock brouglkt _persons from Orkney to in struct young girls in the plaiting of Tuscan and Leghorn straw ; and so promising is . this commencement that already sixty persons are employed,- , Orkney has -long been cele brated for its extensive straw plaiting, and some years it has been known to bring-Abe sum of 20,0001. into the country.—lnverness Courier. - _ _ . - A SHOOTING PARTY.—On Tuesday last a few sporting characters were brought before the Magistrates in this city (Carlisle) on the following charge :—The party, it appeared, had on the day previous partaken rather freely of John Barleycorn, and took it into their leads to spend the remainder of the day in a shooting excursion. They ac cordingly quitted their potations, and off they set, half-a dozen of them—with one gun among them all ; but then, they could take it in their turns, and as they had no dogs, they could field it themselves, and, like cricketers, bawl out " play !" when they saw the game coming, as plainly as cir cumstances would permit. In the first mile or so which this redoubtable party traversed in the immediate neigh bourhood of the city, they met with nothing that put their sportmanship to the proof ; but on going a little farther, one of the look-outs spied a levy of rare birds—all in a cluster—and in the ecstacy of his joy he bawled out to the gunsman, "Go it !—play !" No sooner said than done — the deathly contents were let slip—and six prime, well-fed geese, which were quietly dozing each upon one leg, with their bills thrust under their wings, lay sprawl ing upon the ground The marksman was uproariously applauded as a dead shot ; and as there was just a bird a piece, they each swung one across his, shoulder, and trudged off in quest of fresh " adventure,"—never for a moment questioning their right to all of the feathered tribe which they could " bring down ;" and it is difficult to say whose geese might not have shared the same fate, had not their odd appearance, as the sportsmen reeled into Botcherby, each with a bleeding goose dangling at his back, created among those who saw them, first, surprise— then suspicion—then something more easily understood by the delinquents, who took the hint, and sought safety in flight towards home. When they arrived there, it was found that only one goose had been preserved in the re treat ; this was ordered to be cooked, and the sportsmen began to prepare themselves for the best part of the " sport." Meantime, the''owner of these geese- apprised the Police of the affair, and an officer was sent in quest of the delinquents. He at length obtained a clue' to their discovery, and entered the house just in time to spoil the entertainment, which was just goinl, to begin. They were W.:wined in custody all night. Sonic understanding was come to with the owner, who became satisfied that the whole affair was merely a drunken lark, and they were dis charged on payment of fines, fees, &c. to the amount of 1/. 19s.—Carlisle Journal.

IliS first aointment was to an inferior command , a t the Pe' riod wh en p the French expedition was compelled to yield t° the arms of England, and abandon the country. Free fro's , foreign - intervention, Egypt was for several years a prey t° the rival pretensions of the Porte and the Marneloults• Several Pachas, Kousrouf, Taher, and Ali Gezairly, voys of the Sultan, had already fallen victims to the NW melouks or their soldiers, when the Scheiks and the Übniast wearied with these bloody disputes, agreed to offer the power to Mehemet Ali, who alone appeared able to infuse order into public.. affairs. Mehemet Ali had, in . fac t ' availed himself of every advantage of his position ; his co rage, his skill in military affairs, his general knowledge, an d the influence which be possessed with the troops, est" blished him the intermediate between the army and the men in power, and he converted his advantage to the best use. By means of his intrigues with the Mamelouks he caused himself to be proclaimed Pacha, a self-nominati oer which was eventually confirmed by the Sultan. This op curred in July, 1805. From this period till the year 1 811 he was engaged in constant struggles with the Mamelouk°'t which terminated in the memorable massacre, and Mehet ee Ali became master of the whole of Egypt. He that turned his attention to the Wababies, whom he 5 0411 1 subdued, and reduced the whole of the Nedjd under his sway. It was in this war that the military tale e_.l of his son Ibrahim were first developed. An un successf," expedition against Darfur and the South of Egypt fully 05 cupied him till the period when European interests attracte,:g his attention. He then endeavoured t o e stablish 'is complete independence, and for this purpose negotiated et?: vertly with France and England ; but failing in this obi * . he threw his force into the opposing scale, and seat army to the Peloponnesus, where the name of his son- seat o€ him became widely and fearfully known. The battle 01 Navarin inflicted a severe blow on his maritime strength' and terminated a war in which from the first he had gaged with the greatest reluctance. His subsequent air( ferences with the Porte and the victory at Koni ah are ° recent and well-known celebrity. In the midst of the° military exploits, which have occupied him for thirty yea Mehemet Ali has found time 'to improve the moral con tion of Egypt, to extend a knowledge of the arts °, 11 ,, sciences, and; by the assistance of European tale nt, to IL: the foundation of projects for redeeming his country fr e be the long enduring reproach of barbarism under. which o f has laboured. But it is feared that his plans are , to t • that character which will insure either permane nt or gett ral prosperity. The power which he has raised' and °: improvements which he has effected are not based uPoblh principles of durability, and when he dies the empire wh i t e he has created will fall with him. None can deny that f ig has accomplished great things, but can it be sai d thatf . b ig , acts have been those of the founder of the dynasty tot empire ? The scope of his intellect was probably 110° 4 to so great a task. The neglect to which he has consig°bo 1 the Arabs, who form the chief population of EgYP. t ', B o , l been a leading, error in his Government. His prejtrchc" to • a Turk have,,perhaps, led him to this step , but it is ect‘be be doubted thet.the time will arrive when the energt talent, the bravery and skill of the oppressed Arabs t c t redeem their position, and establish them the lo rds of • soil where at present they are slaves.
