SPIRIT OF TRE PUBLIC JOURNALS. At the meeting of the Yorkshire Agricultural Asso ciation, the Chairman (Mr. Cayley) observed— " The nrieultnral quesson was not a party question ; till were desirous of supporting the agricultural interest — nll were aware of its paramount importance, and all were ready to drown secNidary fs:rEngs, to unite at the same talik and eaell'assist to put down every enemy, and cmAn cipate-the landed interest from its present degraded and . , fallen state. The polities of Ike farmer were these—when lie found that his produce would not sell at such -a lwire as paid for the Wow*, and met his rent, then ought he to raise his voice and eau - tend for his rights these were -the true politics 4 the . firmer —the true rights of an Englishuman, when he fell oppressed, .o ojPr up his prayers to the Legis lature for a redress of hi.; gizocane2.. It %vas true that they had petitioned the L v egislature," and that they had not been relieved ; but he believed that that vitas not to be imputed to an unwillingness on the part of t;:e Legislature, but be eauSe they were not united in their prayers. It was there fore necessary that there should be a nucleus—a centre usgoriation in London or elsewhere ; and he trusted the, would not sit down. content with what they had done, bu endeavour to pers uade other societies to join them, arn thus form one solid, compact body, remembering that unio: aPC LI t he A • •f •It "n 1 b see eeventie in such a state, that the malt-tax could fairly have been abolished . But it is strange that Sir Robert Peel's admirable speech did not leave behind it a more useful and last s trace. •No considerate person can believe, that if t'icemalt-tax were removed, a property -tax could at the same time be dispensed with ; end we would calmly ask oar cvenins, , contemporary whether he or the landed gers ti ern:li of England are yet prepared for such a substitute ? But a fall of rents would be " disastrous," we are as sured, to the country. When we described a reduc tion of rents as an essential and powerful element of relief to the occupying. tenant, we really did persuade ourselves that we hail given utterance to little better than a self-evident truth. Surely, when • agricultural production of every kind falls in price, rent, Which re presents nothing more than a given quota of such pi o duction, must, in all justice: and sound policy, be low er; with it ; otherwise there ensues a disturbance and overthrow of the natural distribution of wealth between the landlord and the tenant, and the effect of such dis turbance is to change altogether the accustomed rela tions of the parties , or in o ther words, to raise -for a time the landlord above his proper place, and to sink the tenant below it. Let us ask any deep-thinking. man whether such a consequence would eventually be fe -1 vourable to the owners of estates themselves, to the ef ficiency of the tenant as a cultivator of the soil, or to the permanent condition of landed property throughout England ? Again, it is said that rents cannot be low eredebecause the interest of the sums for which estates stand mortgaged could not in that case be paid. With every possible respect for the aristocracy of Great . Bri tain, and with a thorough conviction that if it be not prosperous, the whole community must suffer, we pro test against the argument, that a landed proprietor is to be upheld in a course of injustice towards his tenant, for no other reason but that he or his progenitor has chosen to run the estate in debt. If the tenant was not a party to such acts of improvidence as ended in the compelling the landlord to borrow money, why should he be a sUfferer on acc ount of it ? We admit at once, that in individual cases, such as an endeavour by a temporary outlay of money to open fresh sources of production, or to extend and improve the hereto fore torpid capacities of his estate, a mortgage may be had recourse to, not innocently alone, but laudably so, to make provision for younger children ; and in such instances it is impossible not to sympathize. with the distress occasione to a respectable family by circumstances which they could n either contend against nor foresee. But still the object, however praiseworthy, was no more than a speculation, and the speculator, though unfortunate, ceases to be regarded with sympathy, pity, or esteem, from the moment in which lie seeks to make another man the 'scapegoat of his own disappointments. How much worse, on the, other hand, is it, when the en cumbrances on an estate result from the vain, ambitious, and unwarrantable prodigality of its possessors ? This is by far the most frequent cause of embarrassment to families connected with property in land. The spirit of ostentation—the ever-growing appetite for new luxuries—the rivalship houses—horses—gaiety — fashion—the indulgence of vice and licentiousness in their various -forms—these, we say, are the staple foundation of debt, and for such assuredly not the in nocent but the guilty ought to suffer. The class of encumbrances kept in view by our contemporary are, it is probable, from the course of his observations, not of recent date. They belong to two periods,---Ist, such as were contracted before the war, but which, as it appears to us, the vast and rapid rise in rents ought to have enabled and disposed the mortgagors to pay off long before its termination; or 2d, such as were incur red during the continuance of the war, and were most likely produced by that very • change of habits and indiscreet enlargement of expenses, which we have before described, as a most unfit and iniquitous • ground of re-action upon the rights of the tenant. The landlords, we repeat, are strictly bound by every consideration of morality and wisdom towards their tenants, to let rents come down in the same proportion as prices ; and in discharge of their duty towards themselves, to withdraw from those indulgencies which they can no longer afford, without pinching alike their creditors and tenants, and involving their still dearer families in lasting embarrassment or ruin. As for the tenants, they too have their duties, and of a no less severe and trying character. They must become, as their fathers were, holders of the plough ; and their wives and daughters, as Mr. Bather hinted, must re turn from the harp, the pianoforte, and the prurient studies of the circulating library, to the poultry-yard and the dairy. If they shrink from this reformation, they need not complain. There will be none to side with them against even the most exacting landlord, nor will any farm support them decently though they had his acres rent free.—Tinzes. A copy of the Speech of the Autocrat Nicholas to the Municipality of Warsaw, substantially the same as that published in the Journal des Debats, is asserted by a Ministerial Paper to have reached our Govern ment ; that speech being highly insulting to England, and containing savage threats of extermination against a people whose national independence we are bound by treaty to protect ; it is naturally asked will Govern meat take any steps to vindicate the national honour and redeem the national faith ? If we might be al lowed to form an opinion of the future policy of Mi nisters with reference to Russia and Poland and the treaty of Vienna from their past conduct, we would ' have no hesitation in answering that question in the negative. If we are mistaken, we shall be glad to find it so. We shall be glad to find that the imam( in justice of the Autocrat is capable of eliciting from the flinty coldness of the Whig Cabinet a spark of na tional feeling—a spark of the old English spirit, which, in times gone by, made the name of Eng land honoured by its allies, and dreaded by its enemies throughout fhe world. Did we, without reason, accuse the Whig Cabinet of Lord Grey, during the Polish struggle, of a criminal supineness t o uching the interests of England, and a disgraceful disregard of the faith of treaties ? We say the " interests of England," because the ne gotiations which led to the erection of the Duchy of Warsaw into a kingdom, and to the signing of the treaty of Vienna, whereby its independence was gua ranteed under a Constitutional Charter and national institutions, .show that the Representatives of France and Ensland considered the independent existence of Poland necessary as a barrier between Western Eu rope and Russian • ambition. Those Representatives were Talleyrand and Castlereagh, so that, in truth, a Tory Government reclaimed, enforced, and established the national existence of that modern kingdom of Po land which the Whigs permitted the giant tyranny of Russia to trample in the dust. It is true that the ar rangement which placed in the hands of the despotic Ruler of a barbarian empire—of the very em pire whose ambition was to be guarded against— the Constitutional sceptre of Poland, was an unwise and an unhappy one. But then it must be re collected that Russia had military occupation of the Duchy of Warsaw at the time, having over-run it with her armies after the disastrous retreat of Napoleon from Moscow. Besides, both Whigs and Tories were loud in their praises, at the time, of the magnanimity, moderation, clemency, and good faith of the Emperor Alexander. For some years, too, Alex ander seemed to justify those praises by his conduct as King of Poland—but, like all the Princes of the House of Romanoff, Alexander, in affecting modera tion and magnanimity, was only playing a part. At the period of' - his visit to England, in 1814, this Tartar Chief, at the head of his Don Cossacks, received from all parties, from all ranks and conditions of people, not the testimonies of a manly respect, but the ex pressions of a slavish homage, amounting almost to idolatrous veneration, and certainly very debasing to the English character. He. then w ore the mask 'of a smooth hypocrisy, to conceal the designs of an inordi nate ambition ; but beneath his plausible manners and affected humility of deportment lurked the circumvent ing spirit of the politic and subtle barbarian. Such was the Sovereign to whose hands the destinies of the new kingdom of Poland was entrusted, with, at least, the tacit approbation of the British public. He gave, as he had promised, a Constitutional Charter to Poland, and observed it for a time, but, in course "of years, he violated it in most essential articles, as we pointed out in our advocacy of the cause of Poland during its con flict with Russia. Thus Alexander paved tho way for is strength.' So that we are to have a systematic combination of agriculturists and persons calling themselves friends of the agriculturists--ecormed for what purpose ? Vv hy, to force Parliament to do what . no Parliament ever did or could do—ensure to the occupier of land a remune rative return for his capital and labour—in the words of Mr. Cayley, to enable him " to sell his produce at such a price as paid for his labour and' met his rent." Why. was ever so Quixotic a notion pranulgated before an intelligent assembly, without exciting • the instant ridicule of its auditors ? What power, in the name of common sense. has Parliament over the'rent of the farmer—the outlay t o which he ma y be sub ject—the scale of expense at which he may choose to live—and the many other obvious and necessary causes which tend to make farming pursuits productive of profit or - of loss ? Does Parliament adjust the scale of rent between landlord and tenant ? Does Parliament fix a standard of expense for the farmer's observance ? Does Parliament give fertility or barrenness to the soil ?—and does it rest with Parliament to insure an abundant crop and a favourable season, and an ade quate demand ? But do not these things affect the agriculturist ? Hare they no necessary bearing upon his occupation being profitable or otherwise—in short, his " being able to sell his produce at such a price as to pay for his labour and meet his rent ?" Accord ing to Mr. Cayley, the " Politics of the farmer" are, indeed, simple enough ; for he has nothing to do but to ask himself whether he is prosperous or not—if he cannot " sell his produce at such a price as to pay for his labour and meet his rent," why then he must set about to form 'agricultural unions throughout the country, in order to compel the Legislature to ensure him adequate returns, and a satisfactory measure of prosperity. .But if such doctrines as these are valid in the farmer's case, why should they not be applicable to every other species of employment in which time and capital are invested, in the hopes of profitable return ? Why may not the merchant expect Parliament to gua rantee him a favourable market and adequate return for his capital and labour ? Why may not the shop keeper expect to be insured against the contingencies of trade, and look to Parliament to enable him, notwith standing a falling trade or bad debts, to realise such profits as " paid for his labour and met his rent ?" Why should not the professional man be favoured with an equal guarantee against the contingencies of for tune, the deficiencies of skill, or the extravagance of expenditure ? Certainly this would be a very plea sant state of things to those who profited by it ; but as it is simply impossible and absurd to apply such a doctrine to other occupations, why should it be con sidered less absurd when applied to farming ? All that " protection" can do has already been done, and the landlords have got corn-laws enough, surely to content them, in all conscience. That the agricultural interest continues in a state 'of depression, ought to lead all parties seriously to reflect upon the many im portant circumstances which are under their own control —circumstances which affect landed pursuits in com mon with those of every other class of the community —the adjustment of rent—the scale of prudent ex penditure—the economical maxims in short, from which no persons who are dependent upon the profits of industry can be possibly exempt. The landlords in particular must consider that it is not for the Legis , 'haute to ensure them a certain fixed scale of rent, as if capital invested in land was to be subject to none of the incidents which influence capital otherwise invested ; but that it is for them as well as for the farmer to in vestigate minutely what is the natural return which the land is capable of yielding, and what is the fixed - share of that return which it is prudent for the land lord to demand, and possible for the farmer to pay. In short, like the ploughman in the fable, they must en deaYoirr to, put their own shoulders to the wheel, and not content themselves with idle petitions to Parlia ment, to do what no earthly legislators can possibly do .- ---insure a cor.stant profitable return for agricultural capital and labour.—Morning Chronicle. It is to be regretted that respectable, and on most points, enlightened persons, should lend the weight of their authority to political suggestions which, if acted on, must, either fail as cures of acknowledged evils, being the purpose for which they are specifically re commended, or give birth to other evils not at present in existence. The distresses of the agricultural inte rest arc much dwelt upon by the owners of landed property, and by some of them we are very sure a strong persuasion is entertained that they are them selves in no degree implicated, as authors of, or ac cessory to, any portion of such distresses, but that they are completely justified in urging the allevia lion of them, as a duty incumbent upon the State. A highly intelligent Journal of yesterday evening - appears to be satisfied that the Legislature may do much towards mitigating the distresses of amcul • turc, and that, without such legislative interference, nothing effectual can be done by the parties them -selves: The single counsel'addressed by our able colleague to the farmer; is to lay the case of their sufferings and embarrassments broadly before the pub lic and the Legislature, to examine the efficacy of the measures proposed for their relief, and to wait patiently, the final judgment of the people of England. In none, at least, of these recommendations can we find • aught to disapprove. The two former Will be adopted as a 'matter of course, and the last will be submitted to from necessity. But when our contemporary passes from the sort of agency or of acquiescence which he proposes to the fanner, and proceeds to hold counsel with the Parliament upon the nature of those remedies which lie conceives the agricultural case to require, let•us see what follows. It is feared by our contemporary, when lie addressed himself to the farmers, that the Legislature will do nothinfy, in the shape of those particular protec - • - tionse which he, we apprehend, .would prefer—tiamcly,. repeal the malt tax, or make another change in the cur rency ; but in appealing as he does afterwards, indi xcetly, to Parliament, he hopes that it will at least undo what is ruining the farmer—viz., " such taxes as the malt tax and the assessed taxes ;" and lie then goes considerably further, and states, that as the agri culturist was the only party who did not gain by the return to a metallic standard in 1819, he ought to be the- only one entitled to have his interests consulted in 'any fut6re reduction of the burdens of taxation. It does not seem to ns that our contemporary has looked into this subject with his usual clearness or his usual equity. If the landed interest was the only sufferer by the return to cash payments in 1819,—a propo sition which could hardly be true of the agriculturists, unless they were'the only debtors in Great Britain— it ought to be recollected that they were with much more certainty • the only gainers by the preceding depreciation of the currency. To such a degree did the progressive rise of prices aggran dize and serve the whole class of producers, that the rents of estates ' were tripled during the 17 years winch followed the: r e s triction of Bank payments, while the monied woild was in an equal ratio depressed ; and this, be it remembered, was a thing without any former precedentit was an innova tion in favour of the landholderi.,Was the day of • ee account, then, never to come ?or was the mere re placement of the respective interests on their old and immemorial footing to be exclaimed against as an ex elusive ; wrong to landed property ? We should have been no less anxious than the keenest ach;ocate of the THE SIN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 19, 1835. that total subversion of the Charter which Russian tyranny perpetrated, under the Vicerovsity of the fe rocious Constantine, who, though exclude :I from his riglit of succession to the throne of Russia by his mad ness and crimes; was considered to be possessed of all the requisite qualities for governing Poland ; and he did so govern it as to bring about that catastrophe which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh anticipated. He treated the charter as waste-paper—he trampled law and justice under foot—he insulted in every way the national feelings of the Poles—he inflicted cruel and arbitrary punishments upon distinguished natives of that country on false or frivolous charges—he esta blished a system of espionnage the oppressive perfec tion of which even Louis Philip himself might envy. In short, his intolerable misrule made the re sistance of the Poles a duty, if they would not be con tent to be accounted the most patient of slaves under the iron scourge of the most cruel, and at the same time the most contemptible of tyrants.. When the Polish nation, stung to madness by the sense of wrong, rose in its power—when the tyrant crouched at its feet —the mercy which he never exercised towards others was shown to him. The braves Poles disdained to take the blood even of a tyrant who was covered with crimes, but who was prostrate and defenceless. He was escorted out of the kingdom by Polish warriors, and delivered unscathed to the Russian authorities, Well has the mereiftil moderation of Poland been repaid by the brother of Constantine, her ruthless conqueror. In the Courier of last night—a journal which, for a con siderable time paschas assiduously laboured, of course on " liberal • principles," in defence of the spiritual tyranny of the Church of Rome, and the political despotism of the Emperor of Russia—we find the fol lowing passage :—" The brief paragraph we have copied from a Tory Paper, headed Genuine Toryism, is well worthy the attention of the public, and in particular of the conductors of the Times and Herald. They inzy learn from it the true nature of those principles which they are endeavouring to uphold. The persecuted and oppressed Poles, driven to madness by the most exas perating tyranny, which they nobly essayed to conquer in the field, and were only defeated because France and England could not assist them, and because Austria and Prussia united in the league against them, are called by the Tories revolutionary ruffians." For our own part, we do not know what the Courier means by coupling the name of the Herald with this attack upon Poland. The Herald, which, we boldly affirm—and our files will prove it—was the first English Jonrnal to take up the cause of Poland after the insurrection of Warsaw, and to adhere to its advocacy through all vicissitudes of fortune—through evil and good report, from that day to this, with what may be truly called a " desperate fidelity." Nay, the Courier had in its columns yesterday a passage taken from our leading article of the same morning, in the following words : "In the records of merciless conquest—of the brutal in solence of barbarian victory, we cannot call to mind any thing more truly atrocious than the sentiments which the Autocrat has expressed respectinr , unhappy Poland to the municipal body of Warsaw. They are sentiments worthy of the Herod of the North'—worthy of him who tore the Polish children from their frantic mothers, to prevent the love of country being instilled with their milk, or the infec tion of the patriot passion being conveyed with their land's language—of him who wields the Russian knout over my riads of brave Poles in the wildernesses of Muscovy, and who has sent aged Nobles laden with chains to be buried alive in the.mines of Siberia." These sentiments are in unison, as our readers know, with all that we have written of the wrongs and suffer ings of Poland, and the flagitious tyranny of Russia, ever since the revolution of Warsaw. We might have expressed our astonishment very often of late, if we thought fit, at a Journal like the Courier, professing principles, even ultra-Liberal, and yet day after day defending the Citizen-despot, Louts Phillippe, and Iris doctrinaire Ministers, whose Fieschi laws, long after they shall have been got rid of by an indignant people, will remain upon the page of history, monu ments of eternal shame to the Russ i anized King of the Barricades, and.the Ministerial minions of his tyrannical ambition. We might have expressed our astonishment at the articles which have appeared in the same paper, obviously intended to excite in this country rather an admiration of the Russian policy than jealousy of Rus sian designs and hatred of Russian rapacity. The same journal says that Poland fell because Fiance and England could not assist her, and because Austria and Prussia formed a league against her. Now it is well known that the French Government betrayed the Poles, and, though we should be sorry to think our own Government acted so basely, it must be admitted that the pusillanimous, and worse than pusillanimous conduct of the Whig Ministers during the Polish con flict, had all the effect of treachery. Then the Courier should not have forgotten that when the renowned Diebitsch and more than one Russian army , had been destroyed by Polish valour, and when Russia was ac tually beaten to a stand still, notwithstanding the assistance given to the Russians by our "neutral" ally 'Prussia, the gold of England was voted by our "liberal" Ministry, under the pretence of a contract, the con sideration for which had ceased by the severance of Belgium and Holland. This British gold came in time to afford Russia once more the "sinews of war," and to enable her to pour down new swarms of barbarians upon the thinned ranks of the gallant Poles. Now, if that money was rightly paid by force of any treaty, it was by force of that very treaty by which England and France were bound to protect the national exist ence of Poland. " But the " settlement" which the Congress of Vienna made was adhered to by the Whig Ministers only so far as it was in favour of Russia, and it was cancelled as far as it stipulated for the pre servation of the national rights of Poland. it was, in deed, but too evident, during the whole of the Polish struggle, that the Prince Lieven had every r eason to send his master favourable reports of the influence which presided over British Councils ; in return for which the Autocrat - has constituted himself protector of Turkey—has induced the Sultan to exclude our flag from the Bosphorus and Black Sea, and is pre paring to drive our commerce from the IVlediterranean. These are our sentiments with regard to Poland and Russia. For years past we have written upon the same subjects in the same spirit. We care not whether Whigs or Tories may take offence at them. We never did care. We like the Polish cause the better because it was not tainted with loan-mongering or stock-jobbing interests, and because the Poles -merciful as they were brave—shed no blood of their ty ran ts but in thejleld 9f battle.—Morning Herald. We peruse always with much satisfaction the re ports of public meetings held in Essex, that county having at all times so particularly distinguished itself for loyalty and attachment to the Church and Consti tution. We are, therefore, pleased to be enabled to supply our readers with an account of the proceedings on Tuesday last at the annual dinner of the Essex Conservative Association. Sir G. H. Smyth, the Conservative Member for Colchester, was in the Chair, and in his usual manner uttered some home truths after a very blunt fashion. The speeches of Sir John T. Tyrrell, Mr. Elwes, Mr. Sanderson, and Mr. Quintin Dick, all Members for places in Essex, were worthy of the honourable cause, in the defence of which they were pronounced. The Rev. G. Tufnell also de livered an effective address, in which he used little ceremony with Mr. O'Connell and his Majesty's -NE nisters. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed at this constitutional re-union, and the strongest detestation was expressed at the unholy alliance entered into by the Whigs and RaClicals. Of course we shall be pre pared to find the Ministerial organs indulging in their wonted abuse of the Gentlemen who thus come forward to array themselves against the deep designs of a papist faction ; but we are sure among well-regulated minds there will exist unmixed pleasure to learn that men of property, of respectability, of some station in society— men, in fact, who have something to lose—display such anxiety and readiness torally round the Constitution, even in its reformed state.—Monzing Post. ROLLS' COURT-WEDNESDAY. His Honour the MAsTEr. of the RoI.Ls was engaged during the greater part of the day in hearing the argument in the ease of " Trezevant v. Frazer," which was argued a short tune ago, on petition, before his Honour the Vice- Chancellor. The case comes before the Court on excep tions, taken for the purpose of charging the estate of the late Mr. Mortimer with certain sums which he alleges were advanced to him by his uncle, the late Mr. Farqu har, of Fonthill Abbey, as gifts and not as loan. We shall forbear giving details until the other side has been heard. KING'S BENCH,WEDNESDAY. THE KING V. THE MARCHIONESS OF DOWNSHIRE. This was an indictment for stopping up a path Way, de scribed in the indictment as a road leading from another road " towards and into the parish church of the parish of ' Ombersley." The case was tried before Mr. Justice Wil liams, at the Summer Assizes at Worcester, in 1834, when the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. A rule had since been made to arrest the judgment, on the ground that the description of the road was not properly set out in the in dictment. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD appeared to show cause against the rule, and Mr. JERVIS was heard in support of it. Several cases were referred to on both sides—Rule discharged. BAIL COURT-WEDNESDAY. MUNDY V. FOSTER. Mr. CRESWELL appeared to show cause against a rule obtained in this case for a new trial. The plaintiff and defendant were married to two sisters. The defendant was an exciseman residing at Halifax, and left his wife in care of a farm which he owned at Ottley, and which he occa sionally visited. A short time ago the defendant's wife wrote to the wife of the plaintiff for the loan of 10/. This sum became the subject of an action, and upon that occa sion the attorney's clerk of the plaintiff proved that before the trial he had had an interview with the defendant, who expressed a wish to have the action which was then pending settled, and said that he had no doubt that his wife received the 101., because he was aware that a running account was kept up between the sisters. The Jury founlfor the plain tiff, thereby proving that they believed the statement of the attorney's clerk. He did not think that such a decision ought to be disturbed, and, therefore, hoped that the Court would set aside the rule for a new trial. Mr. BAILEY supported the rule. If the principle were laid down, that a man's wife might, for private and personal purposes of her own, borrow any sum . of money she pleased, and make her husband responsible for it, such a principle must be followed by consequences the most injurious to the community. Men who had the misfortune to be married— (Laughter)—would soon feel the extreme injustice of such a principle, if it once received the sanction of the law. On the part of all married men—(Continued laughter)—he protested against its being' enforced in this case.—Rule made absolute. PREROGATIVE COURT. BUTLIN V. BARRY. The question in this suit arises as to the validity of the I will of P. Barry Barry, Esq., late of Tollerton Hall, Tol lerton, in the county of Nottingham, who died, aged 76, on the 13th of March, 1833, leaving an only son and next of kin, Mr. Pendock B. Barry, the party Opposing the will, which is propounded in this cause by James Butlin, the executor under the will. The case is one of most extraordinary length, and the pleadings were this day opened by the King's Advocate on behalf of Mr. Butlin. Dr. LUSHINGTON appeared for Mr. Barry, the next of kin, the only son, as he said, of a Gentleman who died at the age of 76, possessed of a very large property, yet who, under the will in question, it was sufficient now to say, would not redeive one sixpence of benefit, the only persons benefitted by it being the apothecary, the butler, and the attorney. The Court was occupied nearly the whole ddy in hearing the numerous exhibits read. In 1832, the Theatre de I'Ambigu Comique was put up for sale at 500,000 francs, but without meeting a single bidder. Such; however, has been its success since that period, that it has just been sold to M. Chabrier, a bronze-manufacturer, after a warm competition, for 830,000 francs.—Paris Paper. Seventeen labourers last week left Avington, to embark at Cowes, to be employed on the Duke of Buck ingbam's estates in Jamaica, and are to be followed by a larger number from Stowe and that neighbourhood. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--Nov. Richard Fcnnings, aged sixteen years, was indicted for stealing a pair of boots. He pleaded guilty. The Court, as usual, advised him to plead not guilty. This, how ever, he declined doing. His plea was recorded. The Court sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment. On hearing the sentence, the prisoner exclaimed, in a loud voice, " The boots are paid for." This occasioned a great deal of surprise in the Court, and on the prosecutor being called, he admitted the fact, by stating that the pri soner's mother had called upon him yesterday morning, and paid him 1 ts. for the boots. • • The CHAIRMAN told the prosecutor, in strong terms, that he bad acted extremely wrong in the matter, and was within an ace of being placed at the bar himself for compromising a felony, and that his expenses would not be allowed. The. Court, having already passed sentence, would not alter it, as there could not be a doubt as to the pritoner's having committed the robbers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. A young female, genteelly dressed, *who said her name was Maria Gibsqn, but refused to give her address, was brought before Mr. DYER, charged with having stolen a purse belonging to a Lady named Briggs. Mrs, Briags,'on being sworn, said she was at present . staying with 7 'her husband at Hakes's Hotel, Duke-street. She went yesterday, accompanied by another Lady, into the shop of Mr. Waite, furrier, Regent-street, intending to select some articles of fur. While engaged in looking at sonteboas, the *shopman inquired if the reticule, which was lying on the chair by her side, belonged to her ; and, on receiving a reply in the affirmative, he said that the pri soner, who had just quitted the shop, had taken a purse out of it. On examining the reticule, a purse, containing about 10s. in silver, was missed. Shortly afterwards a policeman produced a purse and money dropped by the prisoner, which was the same stolen out of the reticule. The shopman said, while he was engaged with the La dies, the prisoner entered the shop, and inquired if he sold ' swan trimmings. He desired het' to wait for a few minutes, and, on perceiving her take a purse out of a bag lying on a chair, and walk out of the shop, he inquired of Mrs. Briggs if the bag belonged to her, thinking at the moment, that the prisoner had gone out and forgotten her bag. When he ascertained that foe bag was Mrs. Briggs's property he ran out and overtook the prisoner, and challenged her with the theft. The prisoner denied that she bad taken anything, but as she was going along, a policeman, into whose charge she had been given, picked up a purse which she had just dropped. In defence, the .prisoner said she saw the purse lying on the chair, and she took it. She was fully committed. THE OMNIBUS OPPOSITION, —A driver in the employ of Mr. Watson, the proprietor of a Paddington omnibus, was brought before Mr. CONANT and Mr. HALL, charged with endangering the life of a gentleman whilst riding in Mr. Blore's The complainant said he got into Mr. Blore's vehicle, and during its progres to Oxford-street the defendant kept driving before the horses, and guiding his omnibus across the line of road taken by Mr. Blore's omnibus in such a manner that he entertained serious apprehensions for his safety. Mr. Blore informed the Magistrate that the defendant acted so in conformity with instructions, he presumed, be had received from the Committee, who were endeavouring to run him off the road because be would not buy a time. In defence, it was denied that any opposition was con templated towards Mr. Blore, or that the Committee had anything to do with the matter. Mr. CONANT said, notwithstanding the denial which had been given, he was of opinion that sufficient evidence had been produced to warrant the Bench in believing that the misconduct imputed to the defendant bad arisen out of those circumstances connected with Mr. Blore's refusal to becothe- one of the Committee. A system of opposition so dangerous to : life and limbs could nut for a moment:be to lerated, and With that view be should fine the defendant 3/. and costs. LAMBETH- STREET. Yesterday Shields, the officer, who was sent on Tuesday with Captain Nicholl, one of the moneyers in his Majesty's Mint, to investigate a case of burglary and alleged incen diarism which was then thought to have occurred at the mansion of Mr. Nichol], but which turned out to be at the cottage of the groom of that gentleman, reported to Mr. Walker the result of his inquit ies into the case. After various details Shields said that from what he had been able to collect, it was matter of great doubt whether any robbery had taken place. Mr. WALKER was of the same opinion, and said that he strongly suspected it would turn out as it had, from hearing the first statement. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Elizabeth Jackson, a poor Scotchwoman mise rably clad, and without shoes or stockings, was charged be fore Mr. 13.,twuNsoN with being found drunk on the step of a door in Ossulston-street, Somers -town, about nine o'clock that morning. Mr. ItAwLiNsoN (to prisoner) —What have you to say ? Prisoner —I lost my little laddie o' Sunday night, and I've b een ganging about looking for him ever sin, but I canna find him. This morning I met wi' twa o' my coun trymen, wha gave me some whiskey t o c heer me up, but it made me tipsy. Oh, my poor laddie, if I dinna find him I shall make awa' wi' mysel'...(Hera the poor creature burst into tears.) • Mr. RAWLINSON—What made you come to London ? —Prisoner—To see my sister, who is very ill, but I canna find her, as I dinna know the name o' ony o' the streets. I came frac Edenburgh on Friday last, and on Sunday was walking wi' my laddie, who had a grip o' my gown tail, when I all at once missed him. I told a woman the next day, who asked me in the street what were the matter, and she said she'd look for him, when I pulled off my shoes and hose, and gave them to her for her kindness, but I have ne'er seen her since, nor my dear little laddie. Mr. RAWLINSON having remarked that he thought her a _ fit object of charity, gave her a shilling from out of the poor box, and desired the policeman to convey . her back to the station-house, and there take down a description of her lost child, whom she stated was seven years old, and use every exertion to recover it. The poor woman returned thanks to the Magistrate for his kindness, and with the policeman then left the office. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon a prolonged inquiry took place i❑ the Board-room of St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park-cor ner, before Mr. GALL, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of William Rose, twenty years of age, whose death was alleged to have been occasioned by a man named Baker, discharging a quantity of small shot into his head. Mr. Trimmer, a magistrate of Hounslow, before whom Baker, the accused, was examined at the time the occur rence took place, attended the inquest, and produced the deposition of the decased taken upon the occasion. It appeared from the evidence that, in March last, the deceased was driving a horse, which was towing a barge on the canal, near Northhide, in Middlesex, when a number of boys in the towing path pelted a quantity of stones on board the barge, when Baker, who had charge of the same, after repeatedly cautioning the boys to desist, discharged a fowl ing-piece at them, and several of the small shot entered the top of the deceased's head. He (deceased) did not feel any serious inconvenience at the time, but in about six weeks his head was. so much affected that Mr. Emmett, a surgeon, was called in, whO extracted the shot which had lodged in the skin at the top of the scalp. The deceased getting worse, he was subsequently removed to the hospital. In the deposition of the deceased, taken before Mr. Trimmer, the magistrate, he stated that be never felt any inconvenience from the small shot entering his head, which became affected after he had fought a battle with a man named Robert Nichols, on the Easter Monday, in which he (deceased) had several heavy falls. Mr. Emmett, the surgeon, who had extracted the shot, stated that they had merely perforated the interior of the skin at the top of the scalp, and could not have tended in any degree to the death of the deceased. Mr. Robinson, the surgeon of the Hospital, stated that the death of the deceased was caused by a tumour on the brain, which could not have been produced by the entrance of the shot on the surface of the deceased's head, but arose from natural causes.—Verdict, " Natural death." Last evening an inquest was held at the King's Head, Oichard-street, Westminster, before Mr. HIGGS, on view of the body of Mr. James Lovelock, aged 52, a respectable tradesman, who put a period to his existence by blowing his . . brains out with a pistol under the following circumstances : Mr. Gerard Davies, surgeon, of Great Chapel-street, Westminster, deposed that between twelve and one o'clock on the previous night he was called into the house of the deceased in the above street, and found the unfortunate man lying on the floor of his bedroom with his night clothes on, and weltering in his blood, 'which flowed from his mouth. He was quite dead. A large horse pistol, which had re cently been discharged, was lying near the door. On exa mination Witness found that the contents of the pistol had been discharged into the mouth, and, perforating the brain, caused death instantaneously. _ _ By the CORONER—I never attended the deceased pro essionally in his life time, consequently cannot speak as to ;he. state of his mind. George Carter, police constable, division B, No. 121, deposed that he was called at the time the occurrence took place, and found the deceased in the situation described. The wife, who was in a distracted state, told witness that her unhappy husband had been in bed with her about an hour and a half, when ho junwed up and exclaimed, " There are thieves in the house,", and ; taking the pistol produced from over the mantle shelf, discharged the Con tents into his mouth, arid instantly fell dead on the floor. Mr. John Loveloek, brother of the deceased, stated that he saw him a few hours before the commission of the rash act, when he (deceased) was in a very a g itated dejected state, and observed, " that if it was not for his wife and children he should die." In answer to questions from the jury, the brother said that the deceased lived on happy terms with his wife, and that his circumstances were good. He could not assign any cause for his destroying himself. •He (deceased) had served in the army for several years during the war, but since the peace, he had been in business. : Several of the jury, who knew the deceased intimately, spoke to his low desponding state of mind for some months before his death. The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary derangement." Yesterday an inquest was held at the Middlesex Hos pital, before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of William Slaughter, a child, four years of age. , It, appeared from the evidence that the deceased lived with his parents in Frederick-mews, Hampstead-road, and that, in the afternoon of Thursdal week, he was playing in a loft, about fifteen feet high, from whence he fell on the stones below. He was conveyed to the Middlesex Hos pital senseless. His skull was severely fractured. Every attention was paid to him, and he lingered until Sunday evening last, when he died." The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Accidental death." ARBROATH. —Just before the terrible storm came on from the south-east on Friday evening last, a schooner and sloop were obServed off the harbour, waiting the tide, which flowed until one o'clock, P.M. Before that time, however, both unlucky barks had to scud before the tem pest, and it was dreaded on the following morning, by those on shore, that they had met a melancholy fate. The schooner was run aground within a few yards of the en trance, and in a short time thereafter was thrown by the waves among the rocks at the back of the South Pier. At a most imminent risk, some of the boatmen of Stonehaven pushed among the breakers, and, with the utmost difficulty, succeeded in extricating the crew from their perilous situa tion. The vessel soon gave way, and went to pieces, strew ing the- beach with her shattered timbers.—Edinburgh Courant. A fire broke out yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, in the lower part of a house next door to the York Hotel, Jermyn-street, St. James's, which burnt for some time with the most frightful rapidity. The County and London Fire Establishment engines, however, arrived with all possible despatch, and after half an hour's incessant exertion on the part of the firemen, the danger subsided ; the damage was confined to the lower part of the premises. The fire is believed to have happened through the foul state of the chimnies. Considerable damage has been done, but not sufficient to interrupt the usual business of the hotel. ALARMING FlRE.—About eight o'clock last even ing the neighbourhood of Foley-street, Portland-place, was thrown into a state of great consternation and alarm by the discovery of a fire on the extensive premises.of Mr. Jones, builder and carpenter, No. 34, in that street, which for some time threatened destruction to the surrounding pre mises. In a few minutes after the alarm was given, the large engine belonging to the London Fire Engine Estab lishment, from the Well-street station, arrived at the spot, and was quickly got to work, there fortunately being an abundant supply of water from the water-plugs of the West Middlesex Water-Works Company before its arrival. Shortly afterwards two more engines from the King-street station, belonging to the same company were got into ope ration, as was the Marylebone parish engine, and the County, West of England, &c. ; but the firemen, finding it impos sible to save Mr. Jones's premises, directed their efforts towards the preservation of the adjoining houses, and the backs 'of those in Union-street, in which, we arc happy to say they were succ;ssful. Mr. Jones's workshops are all. destroyed, and the premises of Mr. Brook, corn-chandler, adjoining, are considerably injured. Mr. Jones is, we un derstand, insured in the Sun Fire Office ; and we are happy to say no accident occurred. INCENDIARISM.—On Friday night a barn, on Mr. Franklin's farm, near Dunstable, was set on fire by an incendiary. The fire extended to two barns, stables, and outhouses, and also to two cottages, which, with the farm ing stock contained in them, and some of the goods of the cottagers, were destroyed. The buildings and - the stock were fully insured in the County Fire Office. The cot tagers' goods were uninsured. The vice oF incendiarism seems to lose nothing of its virulence in the county of Bedford, and is unlikely to abate so long as a feeling of ten derness for the lives of those miscreants interposes to shield them from the salutary punishment due, to th'eir crimes. Several men charged as incendiaries are now in Bedford gaol to await their trials. On Thursday night last a valu able wheat rick, on the farm of Mr. Robinson, at As g arby, near Horncastle, was fired by an incendiary. By the exertions of the gentlemen and farmers in the neighbour hood, and also of the honest part of the labourers, several . adjoining ricks of considerable value were saved. The farmers offer a reward of 1001. for the discovery of the perpetrator, to which the County Fire Office has added 501., and it is expected a further reward of 100/. from Govern ment will be added, with the offer.of his Majesty's pardon to any accomplice giving evidence, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

BULL-BAITING.—On Friday the officers of th e , Animals' Friend Society, attended by numerous constable,' provided by the Association for the Prevention of B ui r Baiting, charged twenty-eight of the West Broomw i l bull-baiters before the Earl of Dartmouth, Sir Vivo' Scott, and three other Magistrates. Charles Bibb, be i4 the keeper of the bull, was fined 4/. under the 3d c lays' of the Act, and was committed to gaol in default of Pa ) ' moot. Unfortunately the Magistrates were in doubt as tj whether they could convict the baiters under the - sec °llj clause (relating to general cruelty), and have deferred cases till next Saturday, for want of a precedent. charge against these men is doubly heavy, notice, though effectual, having at the request of the Society been give... to them by the Magistrates, before the commission of tho offences. The officers attended Sedgley last MondaY! Tuesday, and Wednesday, and witnessed scenes the re which would beggar description. Several pieces of fle sh were torn from the poor bulls' noses, and thrown ab out ' and one man was tossed. The officers have obtained tbde names of fifteen offenders. The principal of them, Gal l ' Walsall Will, was killed in a coal-pit last week. (AnvEarrisEmENT.)-EIGHT-DAY CLOCK ' FOUR GUINEAS each, warranted.
