SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It was rumoured about the House of Commons last night, that should the resolution of - Lord John Rus sell be passed in the committee, his Lordship will not, as he at first proposal, follow up the decision by moir 7 ing an address to the throne, but will wait till the introduction of Sir R. Peel's Tithe Bill, and proposed a clause founded on the resolution. This, in fact, would be adopting Sir R. Peel's suggestion of Thursday More, we confess, to the disappointment of . our wishes than of our expectations, the resolution of Lord J. Russell has been carried against the British Go vernment, and not merely against the existing Govern ment, but to the infinite perplexity and detriment of any other by which it may be succeeded. It is a vote, the speedy and party consequence of which may just suffice to expose to its Whig authors the frightful pre cipice towards which they are impelled by their revo lutionary allies. It is a vote, which, professing one illegitimate and foolish, more than pernicious, object, tends by a short and direct path to others which are irretrievably fatal. It leaves unsettled the single point, which it makes belief of providing for, and opens many with which it has no ostensible connexion. It brings to a crisis that fearful and now inevitable ques tion---whether the Protestant Church of Ireland shall henceforth exist even in name ? The test of honesty in a Parliamentary proposition is the identity of its spirit with its letter, and this is always best understood by considering the construction which its own advo cates affix to it. Not to go further back than the con cluding night of the discussion, and the speech of the Mxpectant Solicitor-General for Ireland—to wit, Mr. Daniel O'Connell—it is obvious that this learned anti- Saxon legislator pretends to regard the passing of the resolution as equivalent to a reform of all the past mis g overnment of Ireland for the last 700 years. But we all know what it is which, in the O'Connell dialect, is meant by the name of misgovernment. It means a Government not wielded by Popish hands, and directed to Popish purposes ; it, means not only that no man except a member of the Church of England shall pay a shilling towards the support of the Church of Eng land, but that no fund destined for the maintenance of that Church shall so much as pass through the hands of a Roman Catholic. Let the words of the Learned Milesian in other places, where he is less subdued than while addressing the Speaker of the House of Commons, and where his spirit riots in its natural undisguised abhorrence of all that belongs to Protestantism and to England—let his words on such occasions, in reference to the Irish Protestant Church, be taken as a fair index of his motives in pushing Lord John Russell's resolution through Parliament. It was he who last year forced the surrender of 40 per. cent. of tithe instead of 20 to the Irish landlords. It was he who talked of his anxiety to secure a surrender of 3-sths of the tithe—instead of 2-sths—as being most desirable, if it could be obtained—but as being un fortunately, at that time, unattainable. He it was who described in general terms, as an enormous hardship, that Catholics should pay any thing, (how many of them do, in reality, pay any thing?) to a Church with which they had no concern, and who pro claimed the " voluntary principle," that is, the utter extinction of the establishment, as the only rule for Ireland compatible with equal justice. Construe then the vote of this man upon the resolution for diverting a possible " surplus . ' of Church revenue, by his own habitual language respecting the Church, and it is easy to divine the true spirit and character of the pro ceeding to which he is a consulting and directing Party. How well was all this penetrated by Si r R o b er t eel, and in what powerful, nay, ;appalling terms, did he enforce his exposition of it upon his hearers, in that perhaps the most correctly reasoned, the most sagacious, impressive, and commanding speech, that has been delivered in Parliament since the Right Hon. 'Baronet became a member of it ! How cruelly did the Prime Minister contrast the words of the resolution with the arguments of its many-coloured supporters I What a dreadful responsibility rests on those who have flung this new element of confusion and of suffering into a country already so convulsed as Ireland I Truly did Sir R. Peel charge Lord J. Russell with having " thrown chaos in." The lure to the Papists, to pre vent the spread of Protestantism, is a fair and clear deduction from the proposal that the fund to be hence forth doled out to the Church shall be just as elastic as the Protestant population, shall dwindle with it, and shall not swell again but with its increase. Mark, however, the prodigious despotism over Protestant pro perty of every kind which is threatened by the Popish advocates of the resolution. They tell us tithe, as such, must cease, and we acquiesce : they tell us again, " But remember that tithe must not be revived under an. it ii er form. The landlord must not charge for hi; land as much rent as would cover the present amount of tithe plus the 'existing rent, otherwise we shall look upon it as tithe under the cloak of rent ; and so beware lest you endanger rent itself, and provoke ' the people of Ireland' to refuse the payment of either." This, then, is the cleft stick in which they place the Protestant Church and the British Government. It says, in effect, there_ shall be neither tithe nor commutation of tithe; for an equivalent is as odious as the thing itself, and • must not be paid at all. What, then, is their meaning when they talk to us of alienating " a surplus" above the wants of the Church, when in the same breath they threaten that the Church shall have no income what ever ? Will they appropriate a surplus out of nothing ? Eut Sir Robert Peel has brought it home to every man with a spark , of candour or intelligence in his mind, that there is no settlement of any description meditated by those advocates of the resolution who proclaim it to be a final settlement, that they know not what fund they have to administer, that they are un prepared with even a loose definition of the objects to which they would divert it, that they have calculated none of the difficulties in their.. progress, that they have exaggerated, nay, doubled, by their estimate, the entire income of the Protestant Church, and if they take from it the 200,0001. per annum which ,Lord Jilin Russell speaks of as necessary for religious edu cation, they will reduce the Ministers of the Protestant Church to beggary. We do not envy the situation of the expectant Whig Ministry with this work Upon their hands, which they have themselves cut out, and with Mr. Daniel O'Connell for their nominal journey man, but their real master. We do not envy them the sentiment which their earliest transactions, nay, which the very list of names in their Cabinet, Nvill excite_ t(. wards them throughout Great Britain, the first day after that grand consummation which they are gasping for, viz., the summons of him, whoever may bc their leader, to the Roy al presence. They are as diversified in birth, in soil, in clime, in taste, in quality, as undisciplined and mutinous as the crew of any privateer during the last long war, or of any pirate that ever hoisted a succession of false colours. He who takes the helm will never keep it. He who is!,nes orders will not have power or courage to enforce them. The vessel will be at the mercy of winds and waves ; and ere they have been one month on board, all hands will be food for fishes. A terrible prospect for this great country now rises before the imagination of every honest and independent Englishman. All the principle's which have hitherto held law and pro perty sacred are abandoned for speculations without shape or definite purpose ; our institutions are driven from their moorings, and the bonds of empire are already broken.—Times. The debate on Lord John Russell's motion was last night renewed in Committee, and is to be fur ther continued on Monday, when the Committee will probably divide. The discussion of last night does not present any prom i nent po i nt for remark ; and we gladly, therefore, avail ourselves of the able assistance of a correspondent in giving a brief out line of the argument upon l*he question so far as it is connected with the general right and of security property :—All property (except, perhaps, what in a state of nature is in actual use) is the creature of law, and can therefore be modified, or even taken away, by the Legislature ; but as the inviolability of pro perty to a high degree is the base of all social in stitutions, no other than the most cogent reasons— nothing( indeed, far short of the preservation of ..-: the State itself—can justify the taking away of --". property, without a just recompense, so long as no L i t.. „conclitiottonmhich it is held has been violated, and the 4 ` . (Th • 1 -; ~..:.,... r .---; 7, ;:: , purpose for which it was given has not failed. Fay, even of individuals, may be taken and nppro priated to other purposes by the State on a just recom pense being made to the owner from whom it is - taken ; though this ought never to be done either to such an extent or on such slight grounds as may render the tenure insecure in public estimation. Property, at least in this country, implies not only the right of en joyment, but also of disposing of it to others with the same privileges, either absolutely -or within limits, prescribed for the public welfare. Transgressions of those limits do not give the property to the State, but it is considered to that extent undis posed of ; and, except where some condition of the tenure has been violated, it is only when a rightful owner • cannot be found that it falls to the State, viz., to the King. The Church property, or certainly the great bulk of it, was given by private individuals for the support of the Saxon Church, before the great corrup tions of the Church of Rome. It was given to the predecessors of the several Corporations that now hold it. Neither the subsequent corruptions nor the Re formation introduced a new Church or a new religion. Corporations are creatures of law, and may for just reasons be modified or destroyed. Alterations in the duties of a Corporation, or mere modifications of a Corporate body, whether an aggregate of individuals or of Corporations, do not change the identity of float body. To do so it must be destroyed, and another created in its stead. The property so given to the Church was certainly once private property ; and when, we would ask, did it become the property of the State ? Is property safe from appropriation to a dif ferent purpose when given to support a Dissenting Chapel, but not if given to support the Church ? It may be objected that a large portion, of Church property was alienated in the reign of Henry the Eighth, and has not been restored. But ought not that confiscation to be regarded in the same unfavourable light as many confiscations of pri vate property by the Legislature in early times, which were never reversed ? Again, it may be ob jected, that for public purposes, such as the forming of streets, roads, canals, &c., Church property has often been taken. To this no other reply seems required than that private property has also been often so taken : and no greater inviolability is claimed for the Church property than for private property. To some other objections which may be made, on the ground of Legislative interposition, it seems a sufficient answer to mention, that even as to private property the Legis lature, with the consent of the persons for the time being interested, though among them they have not the whole fee simple, has often not only modified the rights to such property, but even authorized a sale of it, regard, however, being always had to the purposes for which the property was settled. The fair result of what is stated above is, that the Church property is in the same predicament as the property of Corporations in general ; or, if there be a difference in respect of in violability, it is in favour of the property of the Church, because of the paramount importance of the purpose for which it was given.—Morning Post. Ourpaper of yesterday communicated to our readers the fact of a glorious majority, not only upon one of the most important, - but one of the most gratifying, events of which it has been the medium since the eas ing of the Reform Bill—namely, that the Reformed Parliament of the United Kingdom, although labour ing under all the disadvantage of being returned under a Tory appeal to the constituency of the country, was determined' to do justice to the people of Ireland, and.. that henceforth the State would deal with the ;property of the Church as public pro. perty destined for the benefit of the people, and no longer to be applied to Church uses, than it might seem necessary to the people to allow it to be so employed. This great and important principle, so necessary to the welfare of every people, and so in expressibly necessary to a good understanding between the people of this country, and the people of Ireland, the House of Commons has consecrated by a majority of 322 to 289 ; and most nobly does the majority de serve, -not of it only, but of all Europe. The evil principle of Toryism has received a stunning, if not also a mortal, blow--the principle of popular Govern ment, as opposed to an oppressive, and aristocratic oligarchy, has triumphed in the most signal manner : and although the Tories, with a pertinacity which does them injury in the estimation of their best friends, still cling to olLe, there can be no doubt that their fate is sealed, and that, a few dais hence, they will "return to the place from whence they came " with a hearty farewell from every honest and liberal mind throuihout the country. S:r R. Peel fought hard to evade the fate which he knew had been provided for him. His scouts and whippers-in were out in all directions, and his troops mustered in admirable order—but the House was determined on doing justice to the people of Ireland, and all the blustering, all the praying, all the entreaties, of the Right Hon. Baronet, were unable to wring from the real Representatives of the people the slightest con cession. They not only placed him again in a dis graceful, and we may add, in consequence of his con tinued retention of office, unconstitutional, minority ; but gallantly followed up the victory which they had gained, by putsuing the foe a stage farther, and declaring that they would not relax in their efforts until practical effect should have been given to their decision. The conduct of Lord John Russell, in the Leader of the Opposition, as well as that of his sup porters, is beyond all praise. He, as well as they, have laboured for some weeks past under considerable odium, in consequence of not having given _battle to the Tories upon the Navy and Ordnance Estimates and other questions ; but we think the public will now see that the Fabian policy has not been resorted to in vain, and that those who adopted it, under every dis advantage, and subject to every prejudice, not only deserve every respect for the high moral courage which they have displayed, but for having finally placed their opponents in a position, and that upon a great practi : - cal question too, from which they cannot escape. We congratulate the people of England upon the result, and we respectfully wish the Tories a good night to all their vain anticipations of power, and imaginary hopes of retaining it, in spite of the people of England.— Morning Advertiser. Sir Robert Peel never was more mistaken in his life than when he supposes that the people of England share his opinions with regard to the abuses of the Church of Ireland. " Let me whisper in your ear (said the Right Hon. Baronet to the majority opposed to him) that although you are triumphant here—though you are enablal to fetter our measures in this House, yet the power you" exercise does not extend without these walls with the intensity with which it operates within," and then he proceeded to throw out some thing like a threat, that if they continued to oppose him he would again appeal to the country. Let him make the attempt. The people of England are at tached to the Protestant religion ; but they do not be lieve that the maintenance of ecclesiastical sinecures in Ireland is calculated to advance the interests of that reli gion. The question is, was as forcibly observed by Lord John Russell in his reply, " whether the ecclesiastical sinecures of Ireland are to be preserved for ever—whe ther there shall be for ever a Minister with a large stipend, and all the appendages of a large church establishment in a parish populous indeed, but con taining no Protestants—that no part of the revenue of the Church in that parish, shall be applied to the general education of the people ?" Sir Robert wishes to maintain a Church, " not for the sake of any benefit that it confers, but for the surplus over its spiritual wants." If superfluous wealth were calculated to promote the interests of a Church, that of Ireland would at this day be the most firmly established of any in Europe. But its wealth has been its ruin. We do not consider that Sir R. Peel by any means satisfacto rily answered the observations of Mr. Fowell Buxton on this point. "To his mind (said Mr. F. Buxton) there never was so unfortunate a mistake as that of supposing that a Church gathered weight or in fluence by its wealth. If wealth, if prodigal endow ments, could have rendered effectual the conversion of the Irish, we, at this day, should not have had a single Catholic in Ireland." The truth is, as was admitted by the Rev. Mr. Boyton at a meeting some months ago, that the Church affords handsome incomes for the younger sons of the Irish gentry ; and the battle is for these lucrative situations, and not for the spiritual welfare of the Irish people. Sir Robert Peel wishes to THE SUN LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1835. have a resident gentleman with a black coat maintained at the public expense in every parish of Ireland. We have no objection to the coat of a gentleman, but we have an objection to maintain him merely for his coat. Mr. Fowell Buxton said, " ,he should like to see the experiment tried of a body of men who, if they entered the ,ministry, could enter it from no other motive than from a desire of doing their duty. Experience had proved that those other human and worldly means had been ineffectual ; but it was riot in human nature to resist the influence of men who, exercising the utmost self-denial, living in decent pri vacy, and showing, by acts of charity, and by what might be called the visible eloquence of a virtuous life, demonstrated that their exertions were directed to the attainment of something better in the life to come." Whoever would draw over converts to Protestantism in Ireland, can only hope for success by following the course so eloquently described by Mr. Fowell Bux ton. The celebrated John Wesley, whose deep insight into human nature no man will question, and whose success, as a founder of a numerous and well cemented religious community in England and Ame rica, gives so much weight to his views with regard to the means of making religious converts, actually ad dressed to the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland a plan in accordance with the views of Mr. Fowell Buxton, printed in vol. 15. of his works, edition 1812, which he entitles " A short Method of converting all the Roman Catholics in the Kingdom of Ireland." Mr. Wesley, who visited Ireland again and again, and had seen with grief that the Establishment in Ireland was utterly inefficient, that " few Papists were brought over to our Church, while many Protestants were se duced from it," saw that the cause of the failure lay in the Protestant Clergy. " There is one way, and one only, says he, one that will (not probably, but) infallibly succeed. The grand difficulty of the work lies in the strong attachment of the Papists to their clergy. Here, therefore, we are to strike a t th e roo t; Now, this may be effectuallyf done thus. The Papists them selves allow that one set of clergy were holier and wiser than their own, namely, the Apostles. They allow these both to have lived and preached better than the present clergy, even of the Roman Church. Here, therefore, is the short and sure method. Let all the clergy of the Church of Ireland only live like the Apostles, and preach like the Apostles, and the thing is done. * * They were temperate in all things. They denied themselves, and took up their cross daily. They ' kept under their bodies, and brought them into subjection, even in the midst of distresses and persecutions ; lest by any means after they had preached to others, they themselves should be come cast-aways.' They were in every respect burning and shining lights; they went about doing good as they had op portunity, doing good of every kind, and in every possible de gree, to all men. They abstained from all appearance of evil. They overcame evil with good. If their enemy hungered, they fed him ; if he thirsted, they gave him drink ; and by patiently continuing so to do, heaped coals of fire upon his head, and melted his hardness into love. Let every clergy man of our Church live thus, and in a short time, there will not be a Papist in the nation." Not a word here about resident gentlemen in black coats, in the commission of the peace, sallying out at the head of troops to levy their tithes, and leaving the field of their operations covered with dead bodies. The battle of Sir Robert Peel is precisely for that which retards the progress of the Protestant religion in Ire land. He fights for the abuses of the Church : he fought for the rotten boroughs, and he now fights for the rotten parts of the Church. The people of Eng land do justice to his merits as a champion of the To ries, but they have no sympathy with his cause.— Morning Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday the Justice-room - WasCiowded, to hear the examination of some of the parties concerned in issuing forged acceptances to a considerable amount ; and whose disappearance excited some ferment in the city a few days ago. The respective attornies agreed to go into the case on Wednesday next. Mr. Alderman BIRCH said as they had agreed about the adjournment, he saw no objection to it, and the prisoners were remanded accordingly. • The prisoners were apprehended by Inspector Busain, of G division of Police, who, upon a very slight clue, went to Belfast, and secured them on board a vessel on the point of sailing for New York. They had only 70!. in cash and notes about them. Their luggage consisted entirely of apparel. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. Mr. PRIOR brought up the report of the committee, to which the question of removing Temple-bar was referred. The report stated that it was the opinion of the committee that this only barrier of the city should not be removed.— ( Cheers.) Mr. PRIOR was of opinion that the Court ought not to adopt the report. Mr: R. L. JONES said that the removal of Temple-bar would be a very important public convenience as regarded foot pas sengers and vehicles. Deputy WESTON declared that the bar was a standing nuisance. Mr. W. PRITCHARD said, that the question of the removal originated in a petition, signed by a great number of the most respectable inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood, who had very serious groUnds of complaint. Alderman T. Wool) stated, that two hundred and sixty persons had solicited the Co►►rt to remove the nuisance. The improvement would be to the extent of 7ft. Bin. in the im portant part of the junction between the City and county. Sir PETER LAI'RIE said it would give him great pain to see Temple-bar removed. After some further discussion, the motion for the removal of the bar was negatived by a majority of 14, the numbers bei lg 48 and 34. 071 the motion of Mr. PRIOR, a petition for making a new street from the Mansion House to the Southwark-bridge, and for taking down the Globe fire-office in Cornhill, so as to im prove the approach to King William -street, was unanimously referred to the London-bridge Committee. CHARGE AGAINST THE CITY MARSHAL. Mr. GALLOWAY brought up the report of the Committee appointed to consider the charges against Mr. Brown, the Upper Marshal, with respect to the late compromise with the thieves who plundered Mr. Williams's shop in Cornhill. The report stated that the Marshal's conduct was unwise and repreheu t sible, but there was not the slightest ground for im puting h him a corrupt motive. Mr. Galloway presided as Chairman of the investigation, and stated that the Com mittee was• very fully attended, and had come to an una nimous opinion upon the matter. The course adopted by the Court of -Aldermen in dismissing the Marshal from the office of constable, and recommending his re moral from that of Marshal, was extremely harsh and un just. The Committee had entered into the investigation with the greatest care, anel although no doubt existed as to the in discreet conduct of the Marshal, nothing was more palpable than the fact that there was no groutd for attributing a cor rupt motive to him at all. The Committee had thus come to a decidedly adverse conclusion from that to which the Court of Alderman' had arrived, and he was convinced that justice would be done. It was finally arranged that the consideration of the question shou7d be postponed. Mr. WIRE moved that the Court should petition both Houses of Parliament for the repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers, &c. M. GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which was carried by a large majority.—The Court then adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ADVICES, ARRIVALS, ,AND DEPARTURES AT THE SCOTCH WHARFS.—.FRIDAY, APRIL 3. HOARE'S STEAM WHARP.—Arrived the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company's steam-ship Perth, John Spink, Commander, from Dundee, with a very large and va luable cargo of linens, about 40 cattle and 180 sheep, and a large quantity of highland mutton. She had about forty pas sengers. DOWNE'S WHARF.—Advice : the Bloom, John Haverson, master, sailed from Portsoy for London, 29th ult. No arrivals or departures. MILLER'S WHARF.—Advices : the Aberdeen and London Shipping Company's smack Nimrod, James Philip master, arrived at Aberdeen the 30th ult. ; and on the 31st. ult., the London and Edinburgh Shipping Company's smack Pilot, George Howie master, arrived at Leith, both from this wharf. Arrivals : the Aberdeen smack Duke of Gordon, Robert Dun can master, from Aberdeen, with goods and passengers; and the Royal Sovereign, John master, from Leith, with a general cargo and passengers. ABERDEEN STEAM WHARF.—Advice: the Aberdeen steam ship Queen of Scotland, John Pearson master, arrived at Aber deen on the 31st ult LEITH AND BERVVICK WHARF. —Arrivals : the Berwick Shipping Company's smack Tweed, John Crow master, from Berwick-upon-Tweed; and the Old Leith Shipping Com pany's smack, Walter Scott, Dick master, from Leith, both with general cargoes and passengers. POLITICAL S PORTING.—The great App ro p r i a ti o n Steeple-chase between Justice, Peel, Prelacy, Corruption, Waverer, Whig, Radical, Young Grey, Patriot, Partizan, &c. &c. &c., " came off" at St. Stephens at so late an hour yesterday as to prevent us from giving any of the particulars. The country selected is perhaps the most dangerous in the world, being compesed of giant -stone walls and of bogs, in which more than one great man has perished. The fencing was fear fully severe, and more than one Member of the Derby-hunt, it is apprehended, will not be able to take his seat again next Season. One Gentleman we noticed who charged a Brook, and sank never more to rise ; and the Hon. Mr. —, in jumping at a conclusion, came in violent collision with a con stituency. If this Gentleman would keep his seat, he must go to a borough where a cushioned saddle may be made on purpose for him. It was, on the whole, one of the most inte resting steeple-stirrin&aces we everwitnessed, and we exceed ingly regret that we cannot at present do more than advert to the very judicious and masterly manner in which Lbrd John rode the race. His tact and discretion, his firmness and intrepidity, exceed all praise. He took the lead on Justice, decidedly the best horse to go on in all England, and kept it generally throughout the race, coming up at the finish, and winning in tl:e ineq brilliant style. It is observable that throughout the whole race, one of Lae lon -est and most briskly contested on record, that the Noble Rider had the see:- constantly in his eye, and never for an instant lost sight of Resolutiee. The Stakes, which are heavy, were given by his Lordship to the starving peasantry of Ireland. A French chemist states that the phosphate of ammonia is a preventive against fire ; that a piece of muslin dipped in a solution of this salt, after having been dried, will not catch fire when exposed to the flame of a candle. The muslin first becomes black, and is then reddened, but there is no appearance of flame.—Atheneum. • How TO LIVE BY THE LOSS.—It requires a cle ver fellow, in these days, to live by his profits ; but there is a large community of clever fellows who are living by their losses, and it seems to be a new principle in arithmetic, which is rapidly gaining repute, that to reverse the figures, cast them up endways, then upwards and downwards, divide them by angles, take out all units, place them at the sides of other fi gures, then multiply the total by two, will be sure to give us a capital balance on paper.—Slierborne Journal. The different Nunneries which are starting up in all quarters, for £he purpose of educating Irish females, appear to have chosen a new course of instruction. In one of those institutions, recently opened at Cabra, near Dublin, the ma trons and patronesses promise the pupils, that "no effort shall be left untried, to make them so acquainted with the fitness of things, that should circumstances permit them fairly (the word is in italics in the advertisement) to rise in society, they will naturally fall into their own places, and fill them with propriety, ease, and dignity." This early initiation into the "fitness of things," is no common advantage, even in the metaphysical understanding of the phrase. It is no trifling mystery to lay open to young curiosity.—Cork Herald. ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.--On Thursday the landlord of the Fox public-honse, near Lower Shadwell, ap peared before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Broderip to answer a charge of assault preferred against him by Eleanor Dillon, his servant-girl. The complainant, a native of Ireland, stated that she had been in the service of the defendant between eight and nine months ; and on Tuesday afternoon, while she was taking care of his infant child, he told her to get ready to leave her place, and brought another woman to take charge of the child. His violence was so great that his sister-in-law interfered, and shoved her down stairs. The master followed her, and brought her up again by the hair of her head, and repeated his ill-usage declaring be would not be satisfied until he had the Irish w—'s life. Mr. Feather said' the statement of the girl was a tissue of falsehoods. She was aiding and abetting the elopement of his step-daughter with an Irish steward ; and that when the complainant admitted her share in the transaction, he ordered her to quit the house on Tuesday, previous to which he ascer tained that he had been robbed of 701., which he had no doubt the steward took with him. As the complainant was about to leave the house, he insisted on searching her box, suspecting she might have some of the property. She refused to allow away with h h e i s h h a a n d d , an d committed. threw andT hisshhe pushed i wwashow a apc l hert present, eassault st s said there was no d ou b t the Irish steward would have stripped Miss Randall of every thing, if she had gone to Ireland. He considered that Mr. Feather had acted a praiseworthy part. Mr. Broderip said there was no doubt the girl was privy to the elopement; and it was natural that Mr. Feather should feel some resentment theTh him e boxto d dt master l s:, n of a p after such a transaction. The story she had told appeared to be an ex aggeration, and as there was no evidence to support it, except her own, the Bench dismissed the complaint, leaving her to indict if she pleased. SEVERITY OF THE WEATHER. The severe cold experienced here appears to have extended itself in a di rection contrary to its natural course. The newspapers re ceived at our post-office from all parts of the South, were frozen, and some large bundles so solid that an hour's expo sure before a laree fire was neces sary to separate them ; while those from the st received at the same time were opened as in'the summer. On that day at Charleston, S. C., the ther mometer was only two degrees above zero. The harbour pre sented an unusual appearance, the salt water being frozen for several hundred feet along the shore on South Bay, and along the north beach of James Island.—The Charleston Mercury says—" We have never experienced severer cold even at the North ; and though the sun shone brightly yesterday, the streets and the church were almost deserted. Water froze in the sun, and in the most sheltered palces, throughout the day." According to the Charleston Courier, wine, and per ter, in bottles,an in the Southe rn parts of houses, assumed a solid the salt water i n t h e d oc k s and adjacent mill ponds, was extensively frozen. A n age d i nhabitant remarked that he knew just such a day at New-York, in th e y ear 1773, but that he had n ever bef o r e experienced such a on e i n S ou th fm •In Carolina. The editor of the Courier adds, we have fears that this intensity of cold has proved fatal to human life in many instances. Rumours of the death of one or two indivi viduals have reached us, but we have been unable to ascertain particulars with sufficient accuracy to give them publicity..— American Paper.

A picturesque secluded spot, protected from intrusion, is always selected by our Continental neighbours, whilst the remains of our dead here are generally deposited in the most crowded part of the metropolis, to spread noxious and mephitic vapours among the surrounding population. It is a question, which suffers most by this practice —our health or our cheerfulness. HATTOIV-GARDEN. Yesterday morninc , immense crowds of persons assembled in consequence of the apprehension of Christopher Charles Foster, Samuel Glaister Foster, and Jonas King Murphy, who stand charged with being concerned in the commission of forgeries and defalcations to upwards of the amount of 30,0001., with which they absconded on Sunday week last. The prisoners are uil gonticmanly-looking men, and have been long known upon the town as bon vivants, end visi tors of houses resorted to by the elite of the theatrical profession. The prisoner Murphy is a tall middle-aged man. The prisoners were very cheerful on being brought to the office, and were accompanied by many of their friends. Murphy was particularly in spirits, laughed, and said he knew nothing of the concern ; that he only accom panied the Fosters in their trip, and the result would be his acquittal from the charge. Ever since the retreat of the prisoners, indefatigable exertions have been used to discover their route without effect, until Inspector I3u sain received private information that they had pursued their course towards Ireland. He communicated with the Commissioners of Police upon the subject, and a reward of 2.50/. having been offered for their apprehension, they deputed that officer to proceed to Dublin, and he chased them about for some time, until at length the officers'got • alongside of the boat, and with determination ordered them to surrender, and exhibited their weapons They were then apprehended and brought ashore, after having been on the " open sea" for twenty-four hours. Only 100/. was found in their possession. The whole of their luggage was found on board the. American vessel, and brought to London. The prisoner, Christopher Foster, is a man of portly ap pearance, and was a resident of Woodbridge, Essex, Where he kept a respectable establishment. His uncle, an emi nent merchant, is a considerable loser. The prisoner, in the event of his uncle's death, would have come in for the whole of his property. Mr. Cohen, the merchant, and many others, have also been sufferers - Mr. ROGEItS ordered that the prisoners should be con veyed to the City, where the venue of the crime is laid, and undergo an examination before the Alderman. WORSHIP STREET. Yesterday Alexander Makenzie, a private of the second battalion of Coldstream Guards, was brought before Messrs. GROVE and BROUGHTON, charged with having stabbed Joseph Birch, a police constable of the H division, with his bayonet, while intoxicated. The Magistrates convicted the defendant in the sum of 405., and the costs of the summons. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Mr. James Bell, the landlord of the Brick layers' Arms, Gressc-street, Rathbone-place, appeared to an information laid by Sergeant Powell, of the E division of police, charging him with having ha-boured in his house four constables of the same division while on duty. The defendant said that the constables were admitted under the impression that they were come to see that order was preserved in his house, and he denied having served them with any drink. He got rid of them again as soon as he had ascertained that they bad no business there. Mr. STRUTT, after a few observations, fined the defen dant in the penalty of .5/. and costs. Each of the consta bleshave also been fined. Yesterday a genteel-looking man, who gave his name Johnson, was finally examined and fully committed to New gate on a charge of having plundered various seminaries in the vicinity of town of a number of valuable books, the par ticulars of which have already appeared. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Martha Banfield and Anne Gardiner, two very re spectfully-attired females, who were understood as moving in a decent sphere of life, were placed at the bar charged with stealint , three pairs of silk stockings and a shawl, the property of James Tidmarsh, linen-draper and mercer, of Regent -street. They were fully committed for trial. MRS. M'GIBBON AND "JANE SITORE."—A poor woman, said to be ninety years of age, was waiting out side the doors of the Cheltenham theatre two hours before their opening, having walked eight miles to see Jane Shore, and having the same distance to walk back after the perform ance. Mrs. M'Gibbon, (who was to have enacted the heroine,) deeming such devotion to the drama madness, asked her dresser, who narrated the circumstance, if the poor old crea ture had her intellects ? " I don't know ma'am," said the girl, "she's gotten summ'ut tied up in her pocket handker chief."—(Mrs. M'Gibbon, who is less known to the Metro politan stage than she deserves was Miss Woodfall, daughter of the publisher of " Junius." She was one of the many per sons who was brought to town experimentally, when Mrs. Sid dons made that void in the drama that our sons' sons may never hope to see filled.) MARKET INTELLI GEN CE.

FRUIT.-The demand this week for Red Smyrna Raisins for ex portation has been fair, and the holders of Chesme Raisins will not sell under 335., which is an advance of Is. There has also been a good request for Currants, and all the old descriptions appear to have been taken off the market. TEA.—Tea must be considered to be at nominal quotations, there arc no buyers whatever, as the trade now agree with us in what we have repeatedly mentioned, that a serious fall is inevitable, and we take some credit in foreseeing this change when the public were de luded with such monstrous statements, that no good quality of Tea would be imported under the free trade system, and the Company's Teas would bear a high price compared with the private trade, all of,which were mere delusions for the purpose of misleading the public, and serving the views of speculators. The Company intend to put up 4 millions of lbs. of Tea at the next sale, and from the high taxed prices which were fixed upon, it is probable not a chest will be sold. Delivery of Bohea last week, it chests, 583 ; do., 76; large do., 113; total delivery, 530,431 lbs. It is estimated that the fleet arrived in the Channel from China will bring fully 100,000 chests of Tea. Irromo.—There continues to be a few orders executed in Indigo, chiefly for export, at steady prices, but they are inconsiderable in extent. The public sales for Tuesday next consist now of 3,886 chests of Indigo, principally of good consuming and good export qualities.
