NF•II{IT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Morning Post, with that scrupulous regard to -veracity which usually characterises its lucubrations when dealing with a political adversary, charges the Melbourne Administration with having entered into an. arrangement with Mr. O'Connell for the temporary suspension of the agitation of the Repeal question ; and hints that it is merely kept in reserve, to be hereafter brought forward, should Ministers at any time stand in need of " a flapper " to keep "up th e s team , ' of po. pular excitement, which Our excellent Conteinporary— very erroneously, in our opinion —conceives to be es sential to the existence of a Liberal Ministry. As to that part of the subject which relates to the keeping alive of popular excitement, we may just, en passant, observe that the wrongheadedness of the House of Lords, and the long catalogue of grievances and corruptions whieh Tory misrule has succeeded in inflicting upon the nation, promises, for many a year to n tome, to fv rnish ample materials to any agitation-loving Mi aiis ry who may deem it advantageow; to employ them —without ever having recourse to the Repeal of the Union—a topic, by the way, not very likely to enlist the feelings and prejudices of the British public. The Post, however, is well aware that the Melbourne Ad ministration is as strongly opposed to this chimerical project as it can be ; but it seems to forget that there is another party, and a most unprincipled one it is (we allude to the Irish Orangemen), who have, upon more than one occasion, created the greatest embar rassment to the Government, by their advocacy and support of this measure. " Can none rememb e r ? Sure we know all must," when the repeal mania raged throughout Ireland, and that Lord An glesea, during a visit to Cork, was hurried, by that irritable temperament which is the cha racteristic of the bold and unsuspecting sol dier, into an unseemly dialogue with Doc tor Baldwin, that the Rev. Charles Boyton, the Magnus Apollo, and fieservedly so of the Irish Orange men ( Why has he deserted the 0' Mulligans ?) de livered an inflammatory speech, in which he ridiculed the arguments of the Viceroy, and stated numerous in stances where the jealousy of England prevented the introduction of manufactures into Ireland. About the same time Dean Dawson (the brother of the " re jected of Devonport," whose name is now so credita bly mixed up with the Breakwater job) was in the habit of pestering the Conservative Society daily vv-,0, 1 motions, exposing the baneful effects of the T,:nion. And the Dublin Evening Mail—the thick-and-thin . organ of Irish Orangeism—besought a fa c ti on w h o , as it never yet was governed by principle, can conveniently take any side upon an emergency, to rally round the stan dard of Repeal. It was, therefore., not the Whig Minis ters that were the allies of Mr.. O'Connell in his cru sade in favour of Repeal, brit Irish Conservatives and Orange Corporators. If ever the day should arrive when a Minister of the. Crown shall seek to procure office, or prolong his 'tenure of it, by means which, in a moral point of - view, would place him in the scale beneath a prores,sed swindler, Lord Melbourne, we fearlessly ass er t, will not be that man. No ; that de graded sitt:ation, we prophesy, will be filled by some wily and 747 sprincl:pled conformer—by a character wh o will ele•ep.te himself to power through the prostitution of the. - press, and who will recruit his adherents from a clas s of persons between whom and himself there is no community of sentiment upon any of those questions which may h ave p l ace d them in a position to support feint and betray—so far as a breaking of solemn pledges that were never intended to be binding—their constituents.—Morning Chronicle. The stupid and malignant falsehoods against the House of Lords, which constitute now the stock in trade of the Ministerial press and the mountebank " missionary," are, after all, attended with some good effects. In reply to wholesale calumnies we refer to matters of fact, and then try them by the best test in 1 the world—that of common sense ; and we invariably find that " good cometh out of evil." Which of the retained Ministelial hacks—whether the ranting booby who yells in the morning, or the prim pedant who drivels in the evening—can impugn the wisdom of the House of Lords, in their dealing with the Impri sonment for Debt Bill, and the Sale of Bread Bill, which we have before alluded to ? We now take the trouble of flinging in their faces a few observa tions on the rejection of the Music and Dancing Bill—a Bill that may be said to have been almost smuggled through the House of Commons, as very few persons paid the least attention to it, or, in fact, scarcely ever heard any thing at all about it. This Bill was intended to annul the existing.laws respecting the allowance of music and dancing in unlicensed places. It was introduced into the House of Com mons by Mr. Joseph Hume, who admits himself to be a goose. Mr. Hume's coadjutor was Mr. Richard :Potter—the Solon of Wigan, and a very harmless person to boot ; who, having lost the confidence of the Radicals in Lancashire by courting the Whigs, doubt less congratulated 'nimself with the idea, that although Mr. Doherty and the tail at Manchester despised him, and would cause him to look very queer at Wigan on the next election, yet he might secure the friendship of those worthy people who may be traced in nearly a direct line from Tothill-fields through St. Giles's and Saffron-hill, until they are altogether lost sight of in the classic regions of Wapping. Now, let us see if the House of Lords cannot fairly put in another claim to the gratitude of the coun try, in at once kicking out this ridiculous Bill. By the 25th of George 11., c. 36, made perpetual by 28th George 11., c. 19, all places of public amusement and dancing, or other public entertainment of the like kind, in the cities of London and Westminster, or within twenty miles thereof, must be annually licensed at the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions. Under this Act all the minor theatres,. Vauxhall, &c., are annually li censed, and have an efficient control exercised over them, it being at the discretion of the magistrates to withhold the license in case of improper management. The above mentioned Acts were introduced in conse quence of the speech of his Majesty King George 11. at the opening of the Session, earnestly calling the attention of the two Housed of Parliament to the ir- TegularitieB then prevailing.— Vide Hansard's Parlia mentary Debates, vol. 14, page 1,234, and the Jour nals of the House of Commons, vol. 26, folio 507. We apprehend there are few fathers of families—few masters, who ought to consider themselves conscien tiously responsible to a certain extent for the moral con durzt of their apprentices—few persons who of neces sity employ servants of both sexes, but who must at the first glance feel convinced of the wisdom which propounded the acts of George 11. Not so, however, with our modern " march of intellect" moralists and le gislators of the Joseph school. These profound and learned persons laugh immoderately at the caution and wisdom of our ancestors, and would at once establish the means of seducing young persons into the midst of temp tation, instead of pursuing the old-fashioned doctrine of teaching them that "evil communications corrupt good manners." In plain fact, the bill sought to be intro duced by those great moralists, Joseph and Co., was intended at once to repeal the sound and wholesome enactments of George 11. Should this precious Mu sic and Dancing Bill have passed the House of Lords, . what floodgates of profligacy would have been opened —what scenes of temptation would have presented themselves I Fleet-street would have had a double sup ply of peripatetic misery, and Newgate of reckless crime. How this Bill crept through the Commons, scarcely any one can tell. When it arrived at the second reading in the Lords, the following is all that seems to 'been said about it :—" Lord Brougham briefly adverted to the nature of the Music and Dancing Bill, which had passed through the other H ouse o f P ar li ament w i t h very little opposition. The alteration in the law was much called for, and the object of the Bill was to make that the law with respect to London and Middlesex which was the law all over the rest of England." The Bill was then read a second time. A few evenings after wards it was at first referred to a select committee ; and then, on motion, it was ordered to be read a third time that day three months. Such trash is really sickening. Lord Brougham says " the alteration in the law was nicel‘ called for." • We ask, by whom ?

One is to tty up Sir Robert Peel as the only iii'All:capable of conducting the affair! of this great country, and the other to cry dtMl the two greatest and most effectual (bcmns'e not Ministerial) supporters of Ole Mel bourne Administration in the Upper and Lower House. We have taken some pains, as our readers are aware, during the past week, to coitnte l tact both machinations. We have shewn what r, •gearcecrow cheval de bataille" is brought forwa7d+ l by faction in the person of Sir Robert Peel. Wo have done justice with frankness and good faith the popular deserts of Mr. O'Connell. We hart not, indeed, seen occasion to say more than wc have done in favour of a political man, who, with few more faults than can be alleged against most political men, has obtained an influence respecting 'rewind and Irish affairs which alone attests extraordinary talent ; and who has exerteti that influence beneficially, by proving himselt to be the redresser of his couttry's wrongs. If he had more faults than his calumniators could espy or invent, the rancour of the attacks upon him would be almost sufficient to redeem them ; their motive would, indeed, whitewash the darkest character. We may leave him safely in the hands of his abusive an tagonists. If their intention were to write him up, instead of writing him down, they, in fact, could not adopt a more certain method of effectirg that design than by a scurrility of personal abuse unprecedented either in the writings or the co - nversation of any well educated person, and which unites the vulgar slang of St. Giles 's with the raving incoherencies of Bedlam and the loose-tongued vituperation of drunken prosti tution.

" Unpack their hearts of oaths, And fall to cursing like a very drab." We shall not indicate the organ of this coarse phraseology; but readily quit the nauseating theme. But the attacks upon Lord Brougham are of a different complexion, and they are worthy of con sideration by the ptiblic, to whom his character especially belongs. Scarcely was our ink dry where with we unmasked another attack upon him— scarcely had we ceased to celebrate his single handed triumph over the pertinacious system of detraction adopted by his Lordship's opponents — scarcely had we proved that each blow at his Lord , ship's honour and influence as a public man, was in reality a blow directed at the people and their cause by the anti-popular faction—who feel him to be the great impediment in the way of their coveted return to power—when an example was given of the truth of what we alleged, and of the real tendency and drift of these attacks upon this steady and effectual friend of the people. In an evening print, in most respects anti-Conservative, but in one respect (that to which we refer) decidedly Conservative in its sym pathies—there appeared on Thursday an impeachment of , his Lordship in his intellectual character—(where we should think he was least vulnerable)—and it was greedily seized upon and copied into the Conservative prints of the following day. It is probable our readers may have seen and put aside with a contemptuous smile the frivolous charge against his Lordship, accom panied as it was with a grotesque phraseology of over strained inculpation, which defeated itself by its ex cess ; it at once resembled in absurdity and malignity the denunciations of the French Revolutionary Tri bune, where to be " suspected of a suspicion" was a sufficing recommendation to the guillotine. His Lord ship, it is alleged, or some one for him, had committed the awful crime of copying a passage or two into the lec tures on political economy, supplied by him to some of the local Mechanics' Institutions, and nothing short of " hanging, drawing, and quartering," will satisfy the vengeance of this " Fouquier Tinville" of the press, who takes upon himself, with ludicrous ferocity of impa tience, the task of " public accuser." We shall make short work with this trumpery charge. If it were in deed true, the outrageous contortion of the assailant in attacking a friend of the people in a popular task, while affectedly labouring in the cause of the people himself—would overshoot the mark, and cause the bench of public opinion to pass with a laugh from the accusation to the " order of the day" " Solvuntur risu tabula ; hic missas abibir But the charge is totally untrue ; we have taken some pains to certify ourselves of the merits of the case, and distinctly state that the allegation against his Lordship--or his collaborateur—of having copied passages from an anonymous pamphlet, without owning the source, is false. The fact is, that the passages are expressly quoted, in the original lec ture, as from the pamphlet—and the omission of the passage indicating the quotation, had either been carelessly made in the Journal publishing the lec ture, or wilfully, collusively, and wrongfully imputed. The public, in fact, must have laughed at the very idea that an extensive mind like Lord Brougham's—expe rienced in every kind of composition, and successful in all—a mind the elastic activity of which is its most extraordinary feature—a mind decidedly one of the foremost, not only of Europe, but of the age—should break down in an elementary lecture on political eco nomy, and should suddenly become so decrepid as to require a crutch, and be compelled to lean for support on some unknown pamphleteer. We have taken more pains than we should have done in disproving this trumpery allegation—only that we believe it part of the plot which we have before asserted to exist—of running down per, fas et nefas the most formidable friend of the people which the Tory aristocracy have to encounter—who " stands among them, but is not of them." The first blush of the charge indeed mania fests its antipopular design. If it is not done to please the House of hereditary legislators, it is well calcu lated to pander to their proud and haughty seclusion from popular sympathies and popular institutions. Mechanics' Institutions have done and will do infi nite good ; they have educated and disciplined the public mind to such a degree by the diffusion of sound information, that Tory manucevre and machination have no longer the old chance of prevailing over it. They have studded the whole land with entrenched posts devoted to the spirit of enlightenment and human improvement. Their tendency, moreover, is to bring the pretence of hereditary wisdom to its real worth, by making mind the only criterion of merit, and intel lect the best patent of nobility. Hinc illtelachryme. Lord Brougham has contributed to their original esa tablishment, and their successful multiplication. This is a great offence; but he has rendered it unpardonable in the eyes of the exclusive caste, by not only supply ing these bodies with lectures, but by lecturing himself. In this nutshell lies the source—the cue bond—of the whole malicious indulgence of detraction, It is not against Lord Brougham as a Peer, or Minister, or ex- Chancellor, from which the charge derives its most perverse venom ; but against Lord Brougham as a friend of the people—who having been one of the chief agents in founding Mechanics' Institutes, and in diffusing popular information by means of philoso phical lectures, does not himself disdain to take a part as a member and a lecturer in institutions of a pe culiarly democratic character. Although ennobled, he shows by this means that he does not lose sight of the popular virtues of Henry Brougham o ; t and hence rancour of th e A r i stocrac y, an d o f t h ese assailants, who, what ever mas k t h ey may please wear, ea r, provethe that the Aristocrat dwells in their h carts, by their deadly hatred to the democratical pri' aciple exhibited by one, at least, of the lordly corporat;mn of hereditary wisdoin.—Morning Advertiser. 600 5/. per cent.

In. pd 104 T , FIRE A T L ORD CLONBROCK S.—rrmay night a destructive fire broke out in Lord Clonbrock's residence, near Castleblakeney, by which the left wing of the building, and several valuable articles of furniture were destroyed. Had it not been for the activ assistance of the tenantry and police the entire fabric must have shared the same fate. The damage sustained is calculated to be not less tha n 2,001. The accident is supposed to have occurred by the dropping of a coal from one of the grates in an upper room, which set fire to the flooring, and thence communicate His o the adjacent a p artments before it was discovered. Lordship is at present in §99tland.—A/tldone independent. Middlesex being different to what it is in any other part ' of England" is beneath reply. In what part of England, except in London and Middlesex, are a million and a half of human beings huddled together P In London, in the accursed dens or tern nation, no one is known ; in the country every bil4l frequenting such places would at once be ascertained, and their character (their only property) for ever 19§t, L or d B r ougham evidently knows as about the customs of the sound part of , or he E''''..nct as he, tIM tthout the law of eq u t would 14451 i to utter such frothy no; ;,sense. Thoks to tht Rouse of Lords, the te n d enc y of Met*S. Vlume and Co.'s mischievous concodl'aS was fully appre ciated, and the mem itself flung to the dogs. The Irish mountebank, who had a natural liking for " bear d-fidale legislation, has abused the Lords for re .jetting this Bill : this was a matter of course : but all • men of common sense and moral principle will see in the rejection another motive for respecting this calum niated branch of the Legislature.— Tunes. If the intention of the Irish Agitator in making his Northern tour of democratic and Popish sedition were to place beyond all doubt the fact that the stipulated price of his services in keeping the Ministers in power, is to have their co-operation in return in the great work of destroying the Protestant Constitution of Eng land, he has admirably succeeded in that object, That man must in, zed be incurably blind who does not now see in working of the unholy alliance between the Wil:igs and Popery, the threatened subversion of all those institutions which the champion of the intolerant Church of Rome seeks to destroy, because they stand in the way of the re-establishment of that Papal su premacy which his inordinate vanity, his inflated am bition, aided by priestly encouragement, make him be lieve that he is commissioned to accomplish. This is what Daniel means by styling himself " a mis sionary," and " an instrument in the hand of Heaven." But it must be more owing to the criminal apathy of Protestants, or to their moral cowardice, than to his own courage or capacity, if ever the brawling dema gogue be enabled to enthrone the " scarlet lady" of the seven-billed city upon the ruins of the Protestant Constitution of England. We have seen that a num ber of his eonlitrymen located in Scotland, and styling themselve s the Society of " United Irishmen," pre. sentl::Cl the Agitator with a silver cup, or something of that sort, accompanied by an appropriate address. Now, when it is recollected that this was the style and title assumed by the affiliated political bodies that or ganized the rebellion of 1798 in Ireland, we can be at no loss for an exposition of the genuine principles of a set of men who ostentatiously assume a title identified with the rebellion, and hail in Mr. O'Connell their leader and their champion. Should it indeed ultimately come to fighting, those " United Irishmen" must look out for another leader. Mr. O'Connell will give them tongue, enough—but, like all brawling disturbers of the public peace, he is one of the very last men in the world to share the dangers which he would stimulate the passions of others to disregard and despise. Cham pion of the Romish Church as he is, he certainly does not aspire to the honours of martyrdom. When ever, therefore, " the boys" are really prepared to go to work," Dan, rather than be at their head, would prefer constituting the very lowest joint (pardon the bull) of his own tail ! At Glasgow he received an address from a large portion of the populace calling, themselves the " Operatives, and non-franchised inha bitants of Glasgow and its vicinity." In that address the House of Lords is described as representing "all that is vicious, violent, and absurd among man kind," and it is plainly stated that it " must be cut down as a rotten incumbrance." There is no room for doubting here—the non-franchised of Glas gow, with O'Connell at their head, demand that the 170 tyrants, as the Agitator styles the House of Lords, may be disposed of by some summary process of poli tical annihilation, resembling the chopping away the rotten branch of a tree. The hereditary Peerage being cut off, the next thing would be to demand the lopping away of the hereditary Crown—a work of " radical reform " which would be then very easily ac complished. The trunk being thus stripped of its proudest and noblest branches, the democratic stump of the Constitution, which had been so long the envy and admiration of the world, would alone remain. Then, instead of hereditary legislation, controlling and regulating the impulses of a popular assembly, we should have the supreme happiness of living under the rule of his Majesty the mob, dispensing all the mani fold blessings of the " Lynch law "—of which the makers are also the executioners, as in the thrice-happy and slave-culturing democracy of North America I That there might be no mistake, Mr. O'Connell said to the unwashed, we mean the unfranchised of Glas gow, "we understand our position—the friends of na tional liberty "are headed by the King's Ministers— hurrah ! for the King's Ministers." Does any man now doubt at what price Lord Melbourne has secured the services of the " forty joints of the tail ?''—Morn ing Herald. The members of Codgers' Hall and of the Lumber Troop, with their several allies in the neighbourhood of Duke's-place and Field-lane, have been exerting every energy for some time past to place one of their own men in the office of Chief Magistrate of the city of London. The Alderman next in rotation to fill the civic chair is Mr. Alderman Copeland, but it is feared by the Whig-Radical clique which now pervades the Common Council that it is possible the worthy Alder man may commit the shocking offence of daring to think for himself, as on several occasions his worthy predecessor has done, and in that case he would not do, by any means, for the liberal persons who, to the disgrace of the city of London, have, for a considerable period, been lords of the ascendant. The old associations connected with the office of Lord Mayor of London are, unsullied probity and honour, extensive dealings as a British merchant, considerable wealth, and good station in society. The absence of these requisites in the senior Alderman who had not already passed the civic chair, would be a very good reason for electing the Alderman next in rotation ; but this fair way of proceeding would not at present suit the vulgar rabble of the City. In addition to Alderman Copeland, six or seven other Gentlemen are, we find, to be passed by, in order to make way for Mr. Alderman Harmer, whose claim is founded in part upon his violent politics, but more especially upon the handsome and abundant jeed he gave during the summer to the leaders of the fac tion at his country house near Gravesend. Alderman Harmer has been all his life engaged in a department of the profession to whiph he belongs which is not generally deemed the most respectable, however im portant it may be to that particular portion of society with which the City Radicals may be supposed to have the greatest sympathy ; and, granting that thieves must have a ready legal defender—that, when property to a large amount is stolen, a negotiator, friendly to both parties, is often desirable—yet we own it appears to us that the qualifications which best fit a man for these offices, however important and meritorious, are not precisely such as are best calculated to shed lustre on the station of Chief Magistrate of the metropolis of England. But, set ting these considerations aside, we must be permitted to ask a very serious question. There is a weekly newspaper published in London, which is celebrated only for its rank sedition, its outrages upon, every de cent feeling of society, and its villanous and black guard attacks on all that is high and honourable in the land ; and this newspaper is generally believed to be the property of the man who is selected not merely as a fit person to fill the office of Chief Magistrate, but as a person of such pre-eminent merit, that his claims ought to supersede those of several other Aldermen who have priority to him in the - customary order of ro tation. It would be a strange spectacle to behold at the table of the Lord Mayor exalted persons, to whom honour and reverence are due, but upen whom, on the preceding Sunday, the whole vocabulary of vulgar ri baldry had been exhausted, either by the Lord Mayor himself, or by persons whom he pays to do his dirty work. Who would be the guest at such a table ? Cer tainly not any man who, whatever might be his politics, had the smallest share of self-respect. The office of Chief Magistrate of the City of London cannot surely be thus degraded. Had Mr. Alderman Harmer been presented to the citizens in the usual course, it might have been a question whether, being the proprietor of INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT 1f r. ./USCph ifeiCithai cW I O was reported on Sa- I came up yeSterd:ay fdr.adjii'dkation , Thg &IsEOn'd O'Ver,frOr Priday, in Circles!' hi Itt! attain amendMdiiig i. 6 th€ S'eliedide..

The COURT sentenced the insolVeLl - tr! five calendar ffidiiths 4 imprisonment for a vexatious defence to CENTRAL CIUMIN AtLCOURT. Grove, a middle-aged person of respectable appear ance, MIS itidieted for stealing and embezzling on the 28th of August, the sum of nine htnidred pounds, the property of his employers, Messrs. Masterman and Co., bankers. The second count charged the prisoner with stealing a ten pound and a five-pound Bank of England note, ten sove reigns, ten half sovereigns, ten crown pieces, ten half crowns, ten shillings, and ten sixpences, the property of his employers. Mr. BODKIN stated the case on the part of the prosecu tion, and called evidence, which we have already published in the examination at the Police Office. Mr. PIIILLII i rf, drl the , part of the prisoner, submitted there was no case in his opinion to go to the Jury. A great number of respectable persons gave the prisoner a good character for honesty. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the embezzlement, and not of stealing. Captain Ogleby, the part owner and Captain of the barque Mary Ogleby, was indicted for a series of assaults on the person of a female of the nanme of Elizabeth Stewart, aged forty, on the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. An arrangement having been entered into by the prose cutrix and defendant, no evidence was offered, and the Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. Thomas White, aged 29, chief mate of the barque Manly, was indicted for assaulting Thomas Graham, in the month of November, on the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England.—The Jury found the pri soner Guilty. Burwood, aged 32, second mate of the barque Man/y, was indicted for assaulting the same prosecutor on the Bth of December.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. John Murphy, aged 22, an ill-looking fellow, was in dicted for violently assaulting four police constables in the execution of their duty. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sen tenced him to be imprisoned for two years, and kept to hard labour. SENTENCES. The Sessions having terminated at half-past four o'clock, the Recorder, Alderman Johnson, Copeland, and Sir C. Hunter, the late and present Sheriffs,. and City aurhoritics, entered the Court at half-past five o'clock, for the purpose of passing sentence on those prisoners who have been tried and convicted during the present session.

Several others were sentenced to be imprisoned for vari ous short periods. George White and William Burford were sentenced to be imprisoned, the former for three months and the other for three weeks, and then to enter into their own recogni zances in the sum of 1001. to keep the peace for two years. Proclamation was then made while sentence of death was passed on the following prisoners : Robert Lavender, David Ward, Benjamin Vines, Michael Collins, Joseph. Coleman, Moses Hams, for burglary ; Geo. Cattin, William Miller, James Cooper, James Dwine, and Daniel Fleming, for robbery. Robert Swan for robbery, with threats, &c. ; John Smith and James Pratt, for a nameless offence. The Court then adjourned until Monday, October 26. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a gentleman applied to the Lord Mayor for advice in what manner to check a most cruel practice, to which the attention of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals did not appear to have been drawn, al though the interference of that Society on such an occasion would reflect very great credit upon their humanity. The applicant then stated that the most severe dog fights very frequently took place in Deptford, at what was called the Deptford Dog-pit, where vagabonds, well dressed and ill dressed, crowded to see and bet upon the sport. A few days ago a fight had taken place between two bitches, and a picture of the sport might be in some degree imagine►. from the fact that the animals were tearing each other for t wo hours and a half. The Loan MAYOR said that there was an Act of Parlia ment for the punishment of the offence described ; and if such a thing as a dog-pit existed in the city of London he should deal with those who supplied it with subjects in a manner that would soon put a period to such brutal amuse ment. His Lordship added that if the Magistrates slept upon the occasion an application to Colonel Rowan or Mr. Mayne, as the Directors of the police, would most probably be attended with effect. At all events, the grounds of com plaint would, his Lordship had no doubt, be very soon com municated in such a manner as would reach the ears of all persons interested. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Francis Ayres was brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT, in the custody of Chas. Lizzars, 230, G division, charged with having maltreated Elizabeth Chil cot, a young woman, in so violent a manner that her life is placed in eminent danger. Mr. Laing ordered that every attention should be paid to the injured woman, and he remanded the prisoner. BOW-STREET. Jllary Jones, a decently-dressed young woman, about 30 years of age, was charged with stealing a tea-service of plate, value 351., the property of Mr. Soffe, picture-dealer, at the corner of Southampton-street, Strand, in whose house she lived as servant. _ The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Soffe about nine months, and last Sunday annight he went out of town, leaving her in the care of the house. On the Tues day following he returned home, and found the prisoner there as usual. In about two hours after he missed her, and she did not return, and towards night, suspecting something wrong, he examined the apartments and missed the valuable tea-service in question, and some other pro perty. He communicated his loss to the officers of police, and Keyse, of this establishment, was employed to make inquiries. Mr. Soffe communicated to Keyse that he had very often seen the prisoner conversing for a long time together with a feeble old man who kept an apple-stall near the corner of his shop, and he thought it was not impro bable that there had been some previous acquaintance be tween them. Keyse questioned the old man, and he said he ought to know her, for that she was his wife, but she had absconded, and he knew not where to find her, and was in a great fret about her. In answer to other questions he prevaricated very much, and Keyse took him custody, and brought him before Mr. Halls, who, however, discharged him, and he returned to his stall. Keyse watched until he packed up his fruit at night, and followed him to Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, where he was met by the prisoner, and they went into a public-house. The offi cer followed, and asked if her name was Jones ? She said it was, and Keyse asked her how long she had left Mr. Soffe's, and she said, " Last Tuesday week." He then told her he was an officer, and she must consider herself in custody. She asked for what, and he said for stealing a quantity of plate, upon which she burst into tears, and exclaimed, "0, Sir, I know I have done it, and I must suffer." Mr. Sell, managing foreman to Mr. Turner, produced the service of plate, and deposed that the prisoner pledged it for .51., stating that she was sent by her mistress, a lady ___, named Lee. Some days after she called again, and said her nostress wanted 1/. 10s. more, which was immediately' advanced. The plate was pfadtKed, am; identified by Mr. Soffc as his property, and the same tbxt ha: been stolen. The prisoner was fully committv,l to Newgate for trial. Q UEEN- S U ARE: Yesterday Iliaggarel Daley, a young woman about te v9ars of age, of very abject appearanc e and miserable ex rior, 1044 , brought before Messrs. GREGORIE and BARSATTP the sitting Aiagistrates, by police constable Goff of the division, No. 31, charged with an attempt to drown herself. The policeman, on the previous evening, between t eigh and nine o'clock, was on duty in Blackfriars'-road near the Surrey side of the bridge, when he heard the defendan t descend the stairs leading to the water. He immediately Mowed her, having a suspicion of he r intentions, and a 5 she beached the last step he seized hold of her: His inter ference appeared to annoy her greatly ; and in consequence o f her solemn asseverations, that she would abandon her ptt?pose, he allowed her to go at liberty ; but still he watched her, not being thoroughly satisfied with her pro mise. The defendant then went along Pedlar's-acre to Old Bridge-wharf, where she was about to make a s econd attempt on her life, when witness rescued her and took her to The station-house. The unfortunate young creature denied to the Magis' trate_ that it was her intentio n of drowning herself, but et the same time declared that she was destitute and very Ile: happy ; she urged with tea rs to be allowed her liberty, an° promised the Magistrates not to think of self-destruction at any future period. Mr. Gregorie—Have you a lodging to go to 2—Defen dant—Yes, your Worship. Mr. Gregorie—lf I discharge you will you go home ?"-; Defendant—l will, Sir , dire ctl y . The wretched girl was then discharged, and left the office with some of her miserable companions. _ MARI LEB ONE. Yesterday William Rogers, a sleek-haired, cadaverou s ' looking young man, carrying on th e business of a sho mender, at No. 51, Fitzroy-place, Now-road, was charg ed with creating a disturbance by preaching in the open air. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Cresswell, chair' maker, No. 13, Fitzroy-place, and a dozen other inhab tants, that the prisoner all the week w as en g a g ed in his trade, but of a Sunday he and a n umber more religious zealots congregated in the middle of the road, and th e preacher standing on a chair or stool first said prayers' afterwards singing commenced, in which the lookers -0° joined, and then the service concluded by the minister de: livcring a sermon, which he did in such a loud voice an with so much ranting that the nei g hbourhood was quite disturbed. The prisoner, who generally officiated °, preacher, had been often asked to a bate the nuisance an ° to honour some other neighbourhood w ith his p resence, but this he paid no attention. On the previous afternoon, at three o'clock, he mounted a chair opposite the door o f the house in which he resided, and had remained there prayia about half an hour with his eyes s hut, when they (co r iv plainants) fetched a policeman and gave him in charge' They did not wish to hurt the priso ner, but onl y to ab htl at e the nuisance, for the sermon invariabl y ended with a i tha one of the combatants being fo r, and the other against preacher's arments. jo Mr. RAWLI gu NSON ordered him to find bail , himself t 501., and two sureties in 251 . each, to answer the charge g` the Sessions. Bail was immediately tendered and accepted, when t he y prisoner was liberated , and le ft the office, followed by ahe, u fifty people, old men and wome n, who termed him tued " persecuted lamb," and hoped that the p ersons who ha deprived hies of his liberty would be punished hereafter .
