SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The party journals are already beginning to nibble at the Commission of Church Inquiry, and, perversely enough, at Sir Robert Peel's Government, for having issued any commission whatever. Upon the latter point his Majesty's Ministers are taunted with imitat ing an example which in their Whig predecessors they condemned, viz. an overfondness for the appointment of Commissions to lnquire. But to justify such a , censure upon the p resen t Ad m i n i s t ration , sometnmg ike a parallel cae ought first to be established. One topic of just animadversion upon the former Govern- . ment, and on whi c h we ourse l ves to ok t h e lib er t y o f remonstrating more than once, was the immense nunz her of Commissions and Commissioners by which ever' department of the State, and almost every district of the country, was overrun :—central commis sioners, local commissioners, commissioners in chief, subordinate commissioners, commissioners to i n . quire, commissioners to execute—if we won't mis take, there were :.o less than 13 distinct Com missions, and of Commissioners heaven knows how many, enumerates' on one oii:casion in this Journal, and commented upon as . it gross abuse of the public patience. But, betides, very nearly the whole of these Commissioners were paid more or less largely out of the nation;'!purse, and the sum total of the expense was felt by all descriptions of people to be a grievance of no ordinary magnitude. Now we presume that few, if any, rsons will allege it as a crime ag a i ns t th e present Ministers, that they have thus early, that is to say, within little more than two months after their ac cession to office, Yet their shoulders fairly to the wheel of Church Reform, like men no less alive to the solem nity of their own promises, than to the pressing obliga tion imposed upon them by the universal desire of the country, to root cut all accessible abuse in the organi- zation and discipline. of the temporal church of England. There is, indeed, OW class of politicians who may be disposed to look in at this prompt endeavour of the Conservative Cabinet to fulfil its own implied en gagements, and to realize the expectations of the people. The members of the late Cabinet, for instance, and their immediate partisans and dependents, of which number we never were, though always wishing them well, and cordially supporting them when we thought they deserved it, calthot feel very conlfortable on re flecting, that they : from first to last, were four years in office, without ever doing half so much towards a prac tical reform of the Church, as their successors have effected within syen weeks from the hour of Sir Ro bert Peel's arrival in England. When Lord Althorp was interrogated on the subject, he never failed to make his escape by pletralieg the difficulties which attended any such rneasuJe, and the consequent necessity of delay. Let us rl,;k, ha, - 1 Ministers not appointed this commission—and pray recollect that it is, unlike a long list of others which we might refer to, a commission which does not cast the State one farthina—would there have ever been an end to the outcry against sham pledges," " hollow assurances," " equivo eating manifestoes," &a., interlarded with no small allowance of scurrilous virulence against the Times for having dared to believe a Conservative Adminis tration, upright in its announcement of a reform po licy, whether in Church or State P—Times. Vi're have long, and we trust we may now add, not altogether unsuccessfully, advocated the amelioration of our criminal law by the abolition of the punishment of death, with respect to the numerous offences to which.it was attached as a penalty, with such a want of discrimination and nacalled-for severity as wholly to defeat its object—the effect being, that prosecutors were unwilling to come forward, juries to convict, and the Executive, CV!!!il after conviction, to inflict the punishment. Perhaps to no offence did these remarks apply more stron L4 lv than to that of stealing to the amount of 5/. in a 'dwelling-house. But it was only at length, and after much opposition, that by the 2d and 3d William IV., c. 62, the punishment of death with respect to this crime was abolished. Agreeing as we did in the arguments which were urged in support of this change, and considering that iro punishment can be effective for the suppression of crime which is not certain of infliction, it is with some regret that we notice what occurred on Tuesday last, at the Central Criminal Court, upon a trial of an offender before the Common Sergeant. The case we allude to is that of one William Dayton, aged seventeen, who was indicted for having stolen, in a dwelling-house, a desk and work-box, with their contents, valued at 161.• Th e o ff ence was clearly proved, and, as far as we can judge, there were no ex tenuating circumstances in the case; yet the Jury, whether for want of sufficient direction, or whether acting under an erroneous idea that the law, with re spect to the punishment, had not been altered, found the prisoner guilty, but of stealing under the value of 51.1 This species of pia fraus, as we have heard it termed, we have never been able to justify —a Jury should recollect that they are sworn to find according to the facts ; but on this point we need not, we are sure, remark. Our chief object in call ing attention to the case is to mark our disapproval of what fell from the Learned Common Sergeant, who, upon the return of the verdict, is reported to have said to the prisoner, that as this teas Iris first offence, if he could get any one to speak to his character, his punishment should be mitigated. Without alluding to the particular circumstances of the case, we must observe that this is a most mischievous doctrine—viz., the holding out to such offenders that the law win not be carried into effect as regards them for their first offence. True it is, that on the first semlAance, this doctrine may appear to be founded in humanity ; but we think it easy to show that it is not actually humane, even to the unfortunate delinquents themselves, while a great and serious injury is inflicted upon the public at large. With respect to the juvenile de linquent, the eff,:ct is to encourage him to the com mission of further crime, by allowing him to discover how slight a punishment may be. And, as is most justly observed by Archbishop Whateley, in his " Letter to Lord Grey, on Secondary Punishments," " If the infliction of steering were the desired object, we might console ourselves that such young culprits would be pretty sure not to escape ultimately ;" and it is then aptly observed, " the fisherman who throws back the small fish in expectation that when they are grown large he shall catch them again, has seldom better ground for being confident of this, than we have for expecting that he who in childhood has been en couraged by the prospect of impunity to commence a a career of crime, will persevere in it as he grows up —will have formed early habits, too strong to be sub sequently eradicated by the denunciation of punish ment against the man, and will probably end hi s d a y s on the gallows or in the hulks. The Archbishop's maxim is, " take care of the children, and the grown people will take care of themselves." The injury to the public may be collected from the above, but, in ad dition, society is left exposed to the designs of more cautious and hardened criminals, who, aware of this fallacious doctrine, use these young, and as yet uncon victed thieves, as their tools, for the perpetration of crimes ; thus, actually creating a demand for these young thieves to do the work which the older offen ders, on account of the severity of the punishment which would fall on their heads if convicted, dare not touch themselves. While thus deprecating this false mercy which is thus disposed to pass over what are termed first offences, but which are too often clearly only first convictions, we do not by any means contend that there should not be a graduated scale of punish ment for all classes of offenders. We consider that there should be different degrees of punishment allotted to first, second, and third convictions ; but this we wish to have clearly and definitively laid down by the Le gislature, and not left to depend upon the uncertain temperament or discretion of the Judge before whom the criminal may have the good luck, or the bad for tude to be tried.—Morning Herald. We have obtained possession of a copy of a letter sent, or to be sent, by a Member of the late and pre sent Parliament, to Sir Charles Manners Sutton, which we 'have inserted elsewhere. The Sir Charles Sutton of 1833 is not the Sir Charles Sutton of 1835. No Reformer can now vote for him, though in 1833 there might be reasons (we never thought• them valid) for voting him Speaker. An argument on which some stress is laid is, that Mr. Abercromby is a party man as well as Sir Charles Manners Sutton, and that no Member can be found possessed of the qualifications requisite for Speaker who does not belong to one party or another. But the objection to Sir Charles Sutton is not that lie is a party man, but that when Speaker of the late House of Com mons he forgot that all party ties ought to have been sacrificed to his paramount duty to that House. He ought to have replied to his Majesty in the language of Lenthail—" I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak, in this place, but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am." Sir Charles Sutton had eyes to see what he ought not to have seen ; and so far from speaking only al_ the House was pleased to direct him, he intigned for the destruction of the House whose ".ervant he was. His pocket-peerage is . the re:;,, nrd treachery to the ".;ces in breaki ng un the Melbourne House. His ser Ministry rraj, procure for him a more hearty welcome into ouse of Peers ; but in the same degree (hey ought to deprive him of the confidence of every Reformer. Whoever votes for Sir Charles Sutton ought to be looked on with distrust by all good Re formers. He has, indeed but a short way to go to the extremes of Toryism.—Morning Chronicle. " COPY OF A LETTER SENT, -OR TO BE FENT, FROM A MEMBER OF THE LATE AND PRESENT PARMA MENT, TO SIR C. M. SUTTON. " Dear Sir—As I cannot, consistently with -my sense of public duty, so far indulge my personal feelings as to vote for you at the ensuing election of Speaker of the new House of Commons, I think it right to address you direct with my rea sons for that determination : " I was, as you are aware, a Member of the first Reformed Parliament; and I voted for you in 1833, because, although your opinions were certainly known to me at that time, still there was nothing eitbcr in your language or conduct which distinguished you as a strong party man, whilst your expe rience in the Chair seemed to point you out as the person best qualified to regulate the proceedings of a House sub staatially composed of new Men:hers. " The case is now materially altered : there are but few new Members in the present Parliament ; whilst you, Sir, ever since the abrupt and unceremonious dismissal of the Reform Government, have made yourself, while Speaker of the House of Commons, most conspicuous as a partisan of the present Tory Ministry ; and it is solely because it was considered that you would most effectually serve the cause of this Ministry, as Speaker of the new House, that you are not now a Member of the Cabinet. " It will be of the first consequence to us, raid to our expe riment (say the Tories) to have an avowed and active partisan in the Chair of the new Hou3e. at this juncture. The selection of such a man will at once give the House a Tory complexion, and afford the first proof of public ,:nrifidcitc:, in a'Tory .Admi nistration. " This, sir, is the language of your party, to my know ledge ; and the exclusive advocacy of your cause by the Morning Post, and other Tory journals, must satisfy you that you have not been reserved for the chair of the new House from any notion of 3 our fitness for the office, but as the tool of their party ; for, if your opinions and conduct at the present crisis had been as liberal and popular as they have been the reverse, and if, instead of advocating the_bigotry and intole rance of Cambridge, you - had represented the wealth and rising interests and intelligence of Manchester, not one word should we have heard from them, except against your re-election. No, sir, it is chiefly because you are a high Tory, and have recently distinguished yourself as a partisan, that you are now so eligible as their Speaker. The Reformers are dared to oppose you. Your friends, who are our enemies, are already chorussing this their first triumph. You are, in short, the Tory nominee, and your victory is to be the signal of our first defeat. " For these reasons—vicwin, you in your new character as a mere partisan, and • need-b 3 member of this unprincipled anti-reforming reforming Ministry—l not only cannot vote for you, but shall feel it a duty, as all old and sincere Reformer, to exert myself to the utmoA against you, should you persist in being a candidate for the Speakcrship of the present Com mons' House of Parliament. " London r 4th February. I am, your's faithfully." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1835. ificult to come to a conclusion as to the sanity of a person upon whom such an imputation rested. Mr. PURSER said that he (Mr. Halls) had at all events said that there was no appearance of insanity about bhn at the time he made the application ; but, notwithstanding that opinion, he was forcibly taken into custody on Thurs day week last and locked up in Warburton's establishment at Bethnal-green, from which place he contrived to effect his escape on Tuesday evening, and now came to place him self under the protection of the law. He conceived it was a case in which the liberty of the subject was violated and abused, and if the Magistrate had no power to protect him from a recurrence of such a violent and illegal proceeding, he was determined to apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to the Lord High Chancellor, whose province it was to afford protection in such a case. He thought it a very gross hardship that because his friends happened to be Whigs and he chose to be a Conservative, that he should therefore be charged with insanity and locked up in a madhouse against his will. Mr. HALLS had nothing whatever to do with Whigs or Conservatives, only that as a Magistrate he was bound to act upon the Conservative principle so far as the preserva tion of the peace was concerned. Did the applicant mean to charge any one with an assault upon him ? Applicant—. Most certainly I do. I was taken from my own residence in Thavies Inn by a stratagem, and locked up in War burton's Asylum for ten days. The applicant then pro ceeded to detail the circumstances under which he was taken away to the madhouse, and which are not a little curious. He was seated in his drawing room in the after noon of Thursday week, when he was waited upon by a man attired in a footman's livery, who told him that he came from Colonel Clitheroe, the Chairman of Mr. Wood's Com mittee, to request that he would attend a dinner given that evening to Mr. Wood, a short distance from town, adding that he was to see a Mr. Jamieson, to whom he was to bring his accounts of the expenses he bad incurred in his canvassing exertions, in order that they might be examined and discharged. The footman had brought a private car riage with him, into which the applicant got, and was dri ven to the door Of a large establishment, and introduced into a large room, where he saw about thirty gentlemen at dinner. Supposing that they were the friends of Mr. Wood, be said, " Gentlemen, you seem to be very com fortable, how many do we make ?" To which one of the gentlemen replied, " There are about a thousand persons in the house altogether." He then inquired for Mr. Ja mieson, to whom he had been directed to apply, and was told that no such person was known there. He then asked if Mr. Jamieson was not the master of the house ; and a gentleman replied, " Oh dear, no, sir ; this is Warburton's madhouse." On hearing this he was of ccurse greatly surprised, and attempted to escape, but was forcibly pre vented. He subsequently addressed letters to several gen tlemen in Mr. Wood's interest, whom he knew, describing the outrage committed upon him, but he had reason to be lieve that they had all been intercepted. After remaining in 'confinement for ten days, he contrived, at the risk of his life, to escape over the walls of the madhouse, in his slip pers, on Tuesday evening. In answer to a question from Mr. HALLS the applicant said that his brother, who caused him to be locked up, came to visit him in his confinement, and told him that he might have his liberty if he would promise not to interfere in election matters again. Mr. HALLS said as the assault which he complained ap peared to have taken place in the City of London, he must apply to the Alderman at Guildhall, or to the Lord Mayor, if he chose. The applicant thanked the worthy Magistrate, and with drew. There did not appear to be the slightest indication of insanity about the manner of the complainant. He is most respectably connected, and served the term of his artieleship to Sir John Rennie, the celebrated engineer and architect. Mr. E. I. Edwin attended with him as his pro fessional adviser. (Our Mansion-house report contains some additional de. tails of this singular case.) MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday a man of very respectable appearance attended at the Justice-room, and complained that a very odd and severe trick had been played upon him by his family and friends, for having embraced political views different from those entertained and acted upon by them. At the time of the e'eetions his friends were all for the Whig or Radical interest, while he thought that his country would be far better served by those who were essentially opposed to the success of the Radical iause. When the moment arrived for making a staid in favour of the Conservatives, he com menced his exertions for the Conservative candidates, when what did his relatives do, but cause him to be taken into custody, and deposited, not in a mere prison, but actually in a madhouse, under the wholesome care of Doctor War burton, who thought proper to detain him until within the last few days, when, the elections being over, the Doctor considered it the most advisable course to open the doors of his prison. He believed that the only motive his rela tives and friends had for confining Nm in such a place was to prevent him from making exertions in favour of those whose political creed he avowed, and certainly it was a political movement which was very likely to effect its object. The LORD MAYOR supposed that this gentleman, who complained of such hard treatment, must at the time he was seized have been considerably excited, to give his friends some grounds for such a proceeding. The compl a i nant certa i nly was excited, but not more so than oth er peop l e were. He was, for instance, no more ex cited th an persons w.ke by love, anger, or other passion ; and th e id ea ''.;; construing such excitement into madness w as 'tune impossible, except it was th e i n t en ti on t o ma k e :ome extraordinary use of the pretext. The reason he ap plied to the Lord Mayor was because he had been appre hended by the superintendent of the police of the City, and delivered over to his friends, who, under pretence of taking him before the Lord Mayor, introduced him to the very unwelcome abode he had mentioned. His object was that the City officers should be directed by the Lord Mayor not to obey any authority of the kind on any future occasion. The MARSHAL believed that the complainant had made a similar application to Mr. Rowan, of the Metropolitan Police, in order that the County Police might not be per mitted to interfere with his liberty. The LORD MAYOR should certainly order the officers of the police not to attend to any future complaint of this kind against the gentleman ; but he wished to know whether the usual form of an examination and a certificate were not adopted on this occasion ? The complainant said it was true that the family apothe cary, and a li tt l e doctor of his own, had some three minutes' talk with him, and that a certificate of his alleged disease of mind had boen given, but his real condition was merely one of excitement, and had nothing to do with insanity. The gentleman then departed, apparently satisfied with the assurance that he should suffer no future impediment at all events from the police. A man of respectable appearance, named Charles Mann, was charged with having committed very extensive robberies upon his employer, Mr. Thomas Bax, of No. 143, Bishops gate-Without. Mr. Cole, of the house of Armory and Cole, attended for the prosecution, and Mr. nobler, jun., for the prisoner. The case attracted a large crowd, and ex cited much interest. The LOAD Miaoit fully committed the prisoner for trial. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. Yesterday the annual meeting of the governors and other friends of this highly valuable institution was held at the society's house, Chatham-place, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of receiving a return of the most important instances of the preservation of life from drowning, and to award medals to those individuals who had rescued their fellow-creatures from death. There were present Mr. Justice Gaselce, Mr. Baron Gurney, Colonel Clitherow, Mr. Hawes, the treasurer, Mr. Hawes, jun., M.P., and other supporters of the institution ; Mr. Justice Gaselee in the chair. The minutes of the last court having been read, The Secretary proceeded to read the several cases which stood for the consideration of the meeting. The first was that of Captain Brodie, of the East India service, who had risked his own life in an attempt to save that of Ensign Bromwick, who had been seized by a shark while bathing at Madras. Captain Brodie succeeded in rescuing the body from the voracious monster, but not before it had torn off the thigh of the unfortunate gentleman. As Captain Brodie had since died, no medallion could be voted, but out of respect to the feelings of Captain Brodie's father, a letter on vellum was directed to be sent to him, expressive of the high opinion entertained by the society as to the con duct of his brave son. A medallion was awarded to Martinez Vander Hum, for his heroic conduct in saving the lives of 1] persons, the crew of a bark, on the coast of Holland, by swimming out to their vessel with a rope round his body in a tremendous sea, in which a boat could not live. Colonel CLITHEROW observed that Her Majesty, who was the patroness of the society, and who was abroad when that event occurred, had greatly interested herself for this individual, and had rewarded him out of 'her own purse. Medallions were then ordered to the following indivi duals : -- lo Lieutenant Baker, of the Moncrief Guard Station, for his exertions, and those of his crew, in saving th e lives of the crew of the Kingston, on the 20th of No vember last._ To John Peale, boatswain's-mate in the navy, for saving the lives of Lieutenant Baker and two of his men at Per nambuco, and of the ship's carpenter, off Cape Horn. To Mr. Carroll, midshipman (fifteen years old), for saving the life of the son of Sir Howard Douglas in Vourla Bay. To Colonel Gilbert, for saving du) life of John Towersy, who was upset in Lake Pitfield. The Colonel was returning from a steeple chace, when he saw the ac cident, and dismounting rushed into the lake, booted and spurred as he was, and saved the man's life at the great risk of his own. To Lord A. Lennox, for saving the life of a man (in August, 18330 by jumping from the deck of the James Watt steamer, while standing into Scarborough, at the im minent risk of his life. To Mrs. J. Savory, for saving the life of a youth named Andrews. Mrs. Savory, while sitting on the coast at Little Hampton, perceived the lad struggling in the waves. She immediately rushed to his aid and was soon borne out of her depth ; but being buoyed up by her clothes, she succeeded in reaching the lad, and was, fortunately, by the next wave thrown back with him to shore. Medals were awarded to John Ray, for saving the lives of several of the crew of a vessel wrecked off Tenby. Medals were also given to R. S. Cole ; to John Felsted (a lad of Greenwich Hospital) ; and to Lieutenant Keys, for saving the lives of several individuals on different occa sions. Lieutenant Keys was so much injured by his exer tions in saving the lives of ten persons, as to be rendered incapable of active service. A letter of thanks, on vellum, was awarded to Captain Polhill, for saving the life of a young woman, who had thrown herself into the canal in the Park. The above were the principal cases of importance, to which honorary rewards were given, Mr. Hawes stating that pecuniary rewards were given according to the discre tion of the Committee. The Duke of Northumberland was elected President for the ensuing year, and the other officers of the Society were appointed. The secretary read the accounts of the Society. The receipts last year, in subscriptions, donations, &c., were 2,575/. 19s. 10d. ; and the expenditure, in rewards for sav ing lives, medals, &c., 1,664/. 4s. ; the balance being cash in hand, and money invested in the funds. Mr. HAWES said the new receiving -house in Hyde-park was nearly completed, the expence of which would be 1,8501., and the voluntary subscriptions already amounted to 1,3501., which he hoped would be obtained without trenching upon the other funds. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. DINNER TO COL. LEITH HAY, M.P., AT BANFF. On Thursday evening. a public dinner was given to the Banff Hotel, Banff, to Colonel Leith Hay, representative in Parliament for the Elgin district of burghs. Provost Ca meron in the chair. Colonel LEITH HAY, on his health being drunk, said, the recent struggle has taught me a lesson, and I atti sure it has taught my opponents another. The lesson which it has taught me is this—to put unbounded cOnfidence in the constituency of these burghs.—(Loud cheers) And it has taught our adversaries that neither intimidation, co ercion, nor anything on the face of the earth, can make them swerve from their duty.—(Cheers.) Gentlenin, it may perhaps be thought that at the commencement of this contest I took a part which might be considered rather prompt and abrupt, and by some persons rather harsh, as it regarded the present Administration. But I conceiVe I had a right to do so ; and the result of the election in the three United Kingdoms convinces me that I am right.— (Cheers.) This is no mean struggle for the ascendancy of on t e i party or anntliti 4 ; it is not a struggle about one Ad ministration coming in and another going out ; but it is a struggle on which depends not only the existence of that bill, in virtue of which every one of you possesses a right to vote in the ele c tion o r a Membe r Of Parliament ; but in my heart I believe that it is a struggle involving the very existence of the .British Constitution.---(Loud cheers.) You are not probably aware in how critical a situation the country Was lately placed. No doubt the present ministers have tried to fight the battle on the ground of their predecessors—they wish to obtain confi dence to which they are not entitled, by offering pretended reforms ; but you may rest assured that all their endea vours would truly be employed to bring things back to what they were in the good old times.—(Cheers.) The result of the election convinces me that their struggles will be in vain. They will find the electors of Great Britain composed of a body of men who will no longer be induced to forego those privileges which they have obtained, and which they will not permit to be wrested from them. Any Administration advocating Tory principles has not the slightest prospect of success. In declaring that the present Ministers had been already sufficiently tried, and that I should at once agree to a vote expressing want of confi dence in them, I spoke advisedly, and I still consider I had substantial grounds for coming to that conclusion. Does any one whom I address—does any one think that these men who have hitherto apposed all measures of reform can how heartily approve of them ? I allow the man who feels assured of security and order hereafter, to deal with them as he pleases.—(Cheers.) I am not the man to al low any feeling to repress my sentiments, when I consider it proper to declare them. I considered it necessary to express decidedly my opinion with regard to the late alterations •in his Majesty's Councils. I have been told that my declarations, which had, it seems, created some sensation in a certain quarter, had in duced Tory potentates to enter into a league against me ; and that had it not been for this straightforward, and also, as I hope, satisfactory address, I should not have op posed.—(Cheers.) I am obliged to these personages for their kindly intentions ; but I do assure you, that had I not acted as I have done, I would not have had the proini and glorious feeling . which I now experience.—(Loud cheers.) With regard to the line of conduct which it is my duty, as your representative, to adopt, I will not detain you by entering into a detailed explanation, further than this, that, in the first place, I believe I may assure you that I have no wish to overturn the Constitution.—(Cheers and laughter) ; but I will not stop short in removing abuses.— (Cheers.) I may venture to say that the new Ministry will he treated in a very summary manner at the com mencement of the session. —(Cheers.) I have certainly not the least inclination to deviate from my first address with respect to this matter ; and I, therefore, avow that it is my determination to use my best endeavours to expel at once, and for ever, these gentlemen from his Majesty's Councils.—(Loud cheers.) Whether the party with which I have had the honour of acting succeed or not, or whether the new Ministry will be supported by a large majority of the House of Commons, remams, of course, to be proved ; but I have every expectation that full justice will be done to the whole community by the House of Commons in its legislative capacity. I have indeed no fear of the result ; but that in a mere individual opinion. I may, however, venture to predict that the Government will not remain many months in the hands of the present Ministers. PRIVY COUNCIL. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council held a meeting yesterday, in the Council Chamber, and resumed the appeal from tengal " Raja Grecs, Chund Roy versus Sumboo Chund Roy." After the Counsel for the appellants, Messrs. Miller and Wigrarn, bad concluded, the Right Hon. Thomas Erskine gave judgment on the part of their Lordships. It appeared that by will, the great grandfather of the present respondent bequeathed bis Zemindary to his eldest son, charging it with a fixed stipend to his other children ; this attempt was now objected to, because it was excessive.. The present appellant had promised to pay these sums, and allowed that the Zemindary wagsufficient to discharge them, although •it had become much reduced. He had not objected in the Courts below that the stipends were excessive when they were originally made, and no proof had been produced that the Zemindary had been reduced by causes over which the appellant had no control. The appellant complained that, by a decree in the Court below, he had been made per sonally responsible, but it was not pretended that the estate itself was not sufficient to pay all arrears, and their Lord ships would not, therefore, reverse a decree given 29 years ago, but, considering there was co ground to disturb the judgment of the Court below, dismissed the appeal with costs. A number of appeals from the award of the Commis sioners of French Claims were then proceeded with. In the first, " Joshua Carter v. the Commissioners," Dr. Lushington stated that a stun of 511/. was claimed for the services of eight negroes who had been sent to the public works by the French for several years. The King's Advo cate (Sir John Dodson) and Mr. Wightman, supported the award given by the Commissioners—viz. 240/. The case was referred back to the Commissioners, as the grounds of their decision were not clearly given. " Representatives of Richard Downing Jennings."—ln this appeal their Lordships allowed the claims for the value of 15 slaves, a quantity of cattle, and 1,368 dollars for sugar and rum, instead of 1,228, as awarded by the Commission ers, together with interest. " Representatives of Richard and Samuel Romney."— The Messrs. Romney were seized by the French—sent to the. Hulks—took the small pox—and died. An inventor-Iwhich identified their property, when sequestered, 11:2:," been sent with other papers to the French omrr.issioners at Paris, by whom it had been lost. This ;:aventory was now claimed to be admitted in support 0 : the claim.—The case was referred back to the Come;issioners. Other cases were also sent back. COURT OF - IaNG'S BENCH. HOPKINS V. DUNLOP. Mr. KNowmts stated that this was A. action brought to recover the amount of a bill of es change, of which the de fendant was the acceptor. The plaintiff was a carpet ma nufacturer at Kidderminster, and the defendant a fashion able dressmaker in Regent-street. The Learned Counsel stated the variety of pleas that had been put upon the record, among which were some denying consideration, and said that the material one for the Jury to consider was this, that the defendant had drawn a certain other bill of exchange, which she had given to a person named Butcher, who falsely and fraudulently pretended that he had lost the same, and that on this false representation she had been induced to give the bill on which the present action was brought. To this plea the plaintiff replied that at the time Butcher made this representation he believed the same to be true. Evidence was called to make out this statement. Lord DENMAN left the case to the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of the second bill (that on which the action was brought), but stated that in their opinion there had been great negligence on the part of the plaintiff. THOMAS M'CORMIE V. ELIZABETH REAVELY. Mr. BUSBY stated that this was an action to recover damages from the defendant for an injury done to a boy, the son of the plaintiff, by a large deg, belonging to the defendant. Mr. Anderson, a surgeon, in Buckingham-street, Fitzroy square, on examining the head, found a contused wound on the scalp ; the skin was broken. The boy's general health had been impaired by the accident. The attack of the dog on the boy, acid its fierceness, were fully proved by two or three different witnesses. Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that there was no case for damages. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51. ls. 6d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HAKE V. HOOPER. This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged injury the plaintiff had received from the negligence of the defendant in bleeding him. The plaintiff was a work ing blacksmith, and the defendant a surgeon residing in the London-road. The plaintiff feeling a dizziness and heavi ness in his head, on the 24th of June last, went into the shop of the defendant and asked one of his appren tices there to bleed him, saying he had been bled be fore, and felt relief from it. The young man, who bad bad experience in bleeding, accordingly bled him ; and, whilst he was about it, called in the defendant from the back shop. As soon as he came in he felt the plaintiff's pulse, and, after some time, when about twenty-four ounces of blood had been drawn, desired the bleeding to be stopped, which was accordingly done. The plaintiff then walked away, but had not proceeded far when be felt the dizziness return, and called in upon a friend and complained of it. After some time he complained of a pain in ins arm, and he was sent home in a coach. Mr. Col burn, a surgeon in the Camberivell New-road, was called in, and, according to his evidence, attended him for five days, at the end of'which period he found he had gone out, and thought him quite well. His mother-in-law, however, swore that he could not stir from the house for a fortnight, 1 and that be could not resume work for a mcit, or s i x weeks, owing to a weakness of 1 ;; arm. Two surgeons were called by the nip; with a view to prove that in their opinion itte Operation of bleeding was not skilfully performed ; but they did not see the man's arm till it was well. On the other hand the defendant called ?Jr. Colburn, and he stated that in his opinion the operation was skilfully performed, and that the pain described by the plaintiff might arise from an imperfect division of certain filaments c,f the nerves, which were so minute that they neither be felt nor seen, and which sometimes came over that part of the veins to which the lancet is usually ap plied, and which sometimes did not. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Henry Jones was, on Wednesday, opposed by several credi tors, and supported by Mr. Cooke. The insolvent held a si tuation in the Customs of 2001. a year, and the object of the creditors was to obtain an apportionment of his salary. After an examination of some length, The Court ordered 401. a year to be set aside towards the gradual liquidation of his debt. lie was discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE CASE OE PALMER THE POLICE CONSTABLE. In the course of the day the Grand Jury entered the Court for the purpose of presenting some bills in the usual form, which being done, the foreman said he and his brother Jurors had felt very much hurt from seeing a statement in some of the pubic prints relative to the case of William Palmer. The paragraph, after stating that they (the Grand Jury) had ig nored the hills against this individual, said that out of sixty witnesses who had been bound over to prosecute, and in at tendance, only thirty had been called and examined. Now they begged to state that there were only thirty-six witnesses on the back of the bills ; of this number thirty-four had been called and examined. The reason why the other two were not examined arose from their non-attendance, in consequence of illness ; and, in support of that statement, certificates from the medical attendants of these persons had been handed in. Palmer, it will be recollected, was committed on five differ ent charges, four of which were for the capital offence, and the fifth for a misdemeanour. The Grand Jury as yet have only examined the witnesses on one of the capital charges, which they have ignored. JOSEPH AM% Mr. ADOLPHUS, in the course of the morning, applied to the Court to appoint when it would take this case. Ady, it would be recollected, was indicted for a misdemeanour, and a true bill hakbeen found by the Grand Jury last Session. A writ of certifirvri had been obtained to remove the trial to the Court of King's Bench. The Judges were of opinion that the case could not be tried in that Court, and had accordingly sent it back to. the. Central Criminal Court. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN—b there anything out of the com mon way in this case, to make it necessary for the Court to fix the time ? Mr. ADoLPHUs replied in the negative. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN—There are some very heavy and se rious cases this Session, and which the Court is anxious should be taken as soon as possible ; for the present, the Court will not be able to fix any particular time. NEW COURT. John Ifacdonnell, a respectable-looking young man, was indicted for forging an order for the payment of 871. 125., wit!. int , nt to defraud John Smith. There was a second in dictment. The prisoner pleaded guilty to both. Thomas Tcasdale, aged 34, a respectable looking young man, described as a clerk, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing fifteen hundred weight of baggage, value 191., the property of James Lewis. the 'prisoner said that during the absence of the prosecu tor, who was his brother-in-law, who was embarrassed in his circ imstances, and being under apprehension of an arrest, he made use of the property with the intention of res t or i ng it. Elizabeth Ward, aged 32, and Elizabeth Mager, aged 48, were indicted for stealing from the person of W. Pitman, the sum of 21. 10s., his monies. The prosecutor, a dirty-looking old man, stated that he was a pensioner, and that on the 9th of last month he received 31. 45., and went into a public-house in Shadwell to have something to drink. While there the prisoner Ward came and sat by his side for a few moments, and then snatched up a chimney ornament which be had just bought, and ran away with it. He followed her into the house of the other prisoner, and there demanded his property ; but in stead of giving it to him they " rigged him," and told him he had no business with such a thing, and wondered how he got it. He said he had plenty of money, and produced two sove reigns and a half wra pp e d . up in a piece of paper, which Ward immediately snatched away. He was in the act of taking it from her, when Mager took it out of Ward's hand and went down stairs. They refused to restore it, and wanted him to stay all night, which he declined, and went and fetched a po liceman, who took them into custody, but the money was not found. The prisoners, who protested their innocence, were found guilty. The COMMON- SERGEANT told Ward that as she had been in the House of Correction before, there was no hope for her. As to Mager, her character and occupation were both well known, and such persons as she could expect no favour. They must both go out of the country. Mager is a woman of immense size. George Hughes, aged 45, was indicted for stealing two nose bags, the property of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., the extensive brewers in Brick-lane, Spitalfields. It appeared that while the horses were standing in the street one morning, some one removed the bags from their noses and carried them away, leaving the poor animals with but half a breakfast. The jury acquitted the prisoner, in consequence of a witness for the defence having sworn that the prisoner was not near the place at the time of the robbery. MIDDLESEX SESSIG-SS. Two young lads, named and Lloyd, were convicted of stealing a ba son frr.'„ n a s h o p i n Th eo bald's road, and sentenced to fou;' ceen d ays ' whipped. imprisonment, a nd to be well lone6man E 49, who apprehended the prisoners, stated that they confessed to him that they had stolen tho bason to get money to go to a penny theatre. The CHAIRMAN was not aware that there was any such places. The policeman said there were several about the metro polis open every evening, and which were nightly resorted to by young thieves and prostitutes, and he was convinced from experience that there were no places in London that tended more to demoralize young lads than those theatres. The CHAIRMAN—Then why do you not lay informa tions against them ? Policeman—There are none in my district, or I would have done so. I have mentioned the matter several times, but I believe nothing has been done to put a stop to them. The CHAIRMAN—Then I will take care there shall be immediately. EXPENSES OF PROSECUTIONS. In the course of the present Sessions the county has been put to enormous expense for the prosecution of persons charged with very trivial offences, of which the following cases are a sample. William Watkins was convicted of stealing a pair of trowsers, value Bs., the property of Elizabeth Cook. In this case there were eight witnesses for the prosecution, each of whom came from Tottenham, and had been in town two days, at an expense to the county of upwards of 51. Thomas Butter was convicted of stealing a pair of shoes, value 10s., the property of John Cummins. In this case the property was stolen from one of the Oxford waggons on its arrival in London, and three witnesses were brought all the way from Oxford to give evidence, and remained in town three days, at an expense to the count) of about 101. In fact, taking the average cases these Sessions, the ex penses of the prosecutions has amounted to more than twenty times the value of the property stolen. The effect of allowing witnesses 3s. 6d. a day for their attendance may be judged of by the following case : A boy, named John Clarke, was convicted of stealing a book, value sixpence. The principal witness against him de scribed himself as a supernumerary constable, and after wards as a clerk and writing-master, and a collector of debts. He admitted that, in passing through the s t ree t s , h e was on the look out for thieves ; a nd that during the present ses sions he had been a witness in another case at these Ses sions, and one at the Old Bailey. The CHAIRMAN expressed his disapprobation of persons acting as policemen, who were not authorised to do so ; and one of the Jury deprecated the officious conduct of the witness. Mr. PRENDERGAST observed it was evident his only object was to get his expenses —or, in other words, to be paid for his amateur performances. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Yesterday, Mr. Charles Purser, an engineer, residing in Thavies Inn, Holborn, applied to Mr. HALLS for pro tection and advice under the following very singular circum stances : Mr. Purser commenced by reminding the worthy Ma gistrate of an application he had made to him some weeks ago, when he stated that he was under the apprehension of being locked up as a madman without any reason what- ever, except that his friends imagined him insane, because he had chosen to exert himself in favour of the Conservative candidate for Middlesex, Thomas Wood, jun., Esq., of Littleton, during the late election for that county, contrary to the political feelings of his friends, who were all Whigs. " When I mentioned the circumstance to you, Sir," con-. tinued the applicant, " you told me that I had nothir, g whatever to fear, and added that I appeared to you p er fectly sane." Mr. HALLS did not give such an opinion, as it was, very AMERICAN AFFAIRS. WASHINGTON, JAN. 3.—ln my last letter I stated that for some years past the average circulation of this country might be estimated at 110,000,000 dollars, of which amount 10,000,000 was in specie, 20,000,000 in notes of the United States Bank, and 80,000,000 in notes of the State Banks. That the number of the State institutions was about 550. I added, that there was probably, in addition, about 20,000,000 dollars in specie in the different banks. Further examination leads me to the conclusion that I have underrated the specie in banks, and that it may be safely stated at 25,000,000 dol lars. These estimates are intended to apply to the year 1833, and immediately preceding. The sum total of State banking capital, during the same period, was about 170,000,000 dol lars. 30,000,000 more of stock was created by acts of incor poration, but not paid in. The principal part of the latter institutions were intended to fill the vacuum that the supposed withdrawal of the United States Bank would create. From this view, it will be seen that a paper circulation of 100,100,000 dollars was based upon a capital of 170,000,000 dollars, exclusive of the United States Bank capital, and that there was for its redemption about 25,000,000 dollars in specie. This specie, however, was subject to a draught from the depo sitors, as well as for the redemption of bank paper. The amount of deposits in the State Banks was equal to 65,000,000 dollars. Most of the banks in the United States may be considered perfectly sound; but some of them evidently require greater restrictions than is now imposed as to the amount of paper that they emit, compared with the specie on hand to redeem it. There is great danger when► the specie capital is small, and the paper circulation large ; because, if two or three banks should fail, the panic would become general, and the pres sure, or run, would be upon the whole. The demand would not only be for a redemption of the paper. but the want of confidence would produce a like demand from the depositors, and then the system must tumble into ruin. Believing that to the political economist these details are not uninteresting, and that they cast some light upon the banking institutions of this country, I have prepared a bird's-eye view of their relative situation in the seven States having the largest banking capital : Sum total Per Cent. Per Cent. ~pecie. of Paper Cir- of Paper . of Specie Banking culation. on the on the Capital. Capital. Paper. - - Dollars. Dollars. Dollars.

These banks are all in full credit, and, with scarcely an exception, they are believed to be solvent ; yet their system of business is indiscreet and hazardous, and if they will not voluntarily restrict their emissions of paper, it should be done by law. But this remark applies more particularly to the interior than to the city banks. These large issues, however, is an error in the banking system of the United States. Another, and a grievous error, is the smallness of some of the notes they issue. In a few States they are prohibited from issuing notes of a less denomination than 5 dollars, but this is only in two or three States. In all the others the banks emit one and three dollar notes. The effect of this is to drive out of cir culation all specie, and to substitute paper in its place. There is probably about 10,000,000 dollars in the different States in bank notes of a denomination less than 5 dollars. An effort is now making in several of the Legislatures to pro hibit such bills. Should it succeed, it will materially benefit the currency of the country. The national or general Go vernment have no controul directly over this subject, but they can exercise indirectly an influence, and they are doing it. With this view the Treasury Department proposes not to em ploy in the collection of the revenue any state bank that issues or receives in payment notes of a less denomination than 5 dol lars. As every thing is done in the United States by party arrangement, the proposition of the Treasury will be consi dered a party measure, and this consideration will also operate on the faithful, and thus aid in putting an end to this descrip tion of paper. In the State of New York there is, by law, what is termed a " safety fund security." The idea of this fund has greatly in creased the confidence of the community in the paper of that State. I have endeavoured to make myself acquainted with the system; and if I understand it, there is little or no se curity in the fund. But many of the arrangements and re strictions connected with the system are beneficial. The fund can never consist of more than 500,000 dollars ; and it is created by each of the banks paying annually half of one per cent. on their capital, until it amounts to the above sum. The contributions then cease, unless there is a defalcation in some bank. On such an event the contributions are continued, or re-commence, as the case maybe, until the defalcation is made good, and the fund amounts to the specified sum. In this way, each bank is made liable, to a limited extent, for the paper of the others. It has been supposed, that by thus linking them together, a degree of watchfulness is created that otherwise would not exist. The salutary part of the system consists in requiring that the whole amount of the nominal capital of a bank shall be ac tually paid up before it commences operation ; that it shall re port to.the Legislature annually, under the oath of its officers, the true situation of the institution; that its books and vaults shall be open at all times to the inspection of bank commis sioners, that are permanently appointed for the purpose of examining the state of these institutions; that the Chancellor of the State, on the report of these commissioners, purpOrting that they are not satisfied, may suspend the business of a bank until a full and complete examination can be had ; and that they are all prohibited from making loans on their own stock. An objection has been urged against this plan with great warmth. It is said, that the commissioners are mere politi cians, subservient to the views of the dominant party ; and that being so, they possess and exercise an undue influence on the directors of these banks ; and that, in point of fact, the whole plan is a piece of pnlitical machinery. This charge, on the other hand, is stoutly denied. The prevailing opinion out of the State is, that the project is quite as much political as it is financial. In the United States there are no private bankers that issue paper. In the State of New York, and some other States, they are prohibited by law. In all the charters which are granted, with' a few solitary exceptions, the stockholders in the bank are protected from any perscnal liability if the insti. tution abould become insolvent. The views which have been given, it is believed, will afford a foreigner a tolerably correct idea of the character and amoont of the circulating medium of this country previous to 1834. In October, 1833, the Piesident caused the public funds to be removed from the Bank of the United States and its branches, and deposited in state institutions, selected by the Secretary of the Treasury for that purpose. The effect of this Movement is well understood in England. It created ou this side of the Atlantic a political, which terminated in a com mercial, panic. It was ruinous to many p€rsons trading on small capitals in an extended business. The loss of confidence induced those who were wealthy to retire temporarily from trade. gvery description of stocks, and in some instances, of other property, having fallen in the American market, brought back specie instead of merchandise in payment for the exports of the country. In addition to this, foreigners also sent here for itivettruent larpfe sums in gold and silver. In June, 1834, congress passed an act regulating the standard value of gold, by virtue of which the Mint there was added to the new coinage about five per cent. of alloy. This arrange. tlittrit ceased the importation of gold in unusual quantities, as it afforded a small profit. All these circumstances combined have, during the last year, greatly increased the amount of gold and silver in the United States. Heretofore the eagles and half-eagles have been exported almost as rapidly as they were coined. Under the new arrangement they cannot be ex ported, having a nominal, beyond their read, value as bullion in foreign markets. If, therefore, the cireulatimi of bank-notes under five dollars should be prohibited, their place will be supplied partly in gold ; and to meet that demand at the Mint, an importation of from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 dollars will be required during the present year. Since the Ist of October, 1833, there has been imported into the United States, beyond the amount exported during the same period, about 21,000,000 dollars. Of this sum 18,500,000 dollars were in silver, coin and bullion, and the re maining 2,500,000 dollars in gold. Within five months there has been issued from the Mint, of the new gold coinage, nearly 3,500,000 dollars, principally in half and quarter eagles. It is now proposed by the Treasury Department to coin and issue gold pieces of the value of one dollar. This would be a popular coin, and would tend to increase the gold circulation. The present specie capital of the United Statics varies, at this time, but very little from 56,000,000, gold and silver ; of which sum, at least 50,000,000 dollars is in silver. A GENEVESE TRAVELLER.
