SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The case of the . Rev. Mr. Rowlatt has made a strong impression on the public mind. Indignation at the tyranny, and sympathy with the suffi2rer,:are . the prevailing feelings. According _to a Correspondent of the Times (who we must observe, by the way, is an advocate in fairness and candour quite worthy of the crooked cause he undertakes), Sir Robert Peel said to the Bishop, " Find me the fittest man for this living ;" and the Bishop took care not to find the man who had a claim to it, according to all precedent and all rea sonable expectation. ''Sir Robert. Peel is vastly lauded for having directed the Bishop to make choice of the fittest man. There is the keenest satire in the praise. Without express direction to choose the fittest man, would not the Bishop have understood such' to have been the Premier's wish ? Without express direction to choose the fittest man,. would the Bishop have been likely to make an election according to some very dif ferent rule ? Sir Robert Peel evidently thought it ne cessary to tell the Bishop to make an honest choice, either because the Bishop might, but' for such instruc tion, have formed another notion of his (Sir Roberts) wishes ; or because the Bishop, if left to his .own dis cretion, might not make the best use of his patronage Whatever the motive for .the direction may have been, the effect was unfortunate. Indeed it is clear that if the Bishop needed the `instruction, .he was likely to miscarry in the attempt to carry it into execution. The novelty of such a rule of choice would sufficiently explain the failure. For the perfection of all things some use or, custom is necessary ; and a dispenser of patronage who had never looked out for " the fittest man," would of course be at a loss, and liable to err, when 'for the first time he set about so strange a business. For operations apparently the most easy, there is something of use or habit necessary analogous to what workmen describe as " getting their hands in ;" and a Prelate, who had never "got his hand in" at choosing the fittest man for preferment, might be excused for bungling upon the first attempt. It is a current and sufficient plea for any miscarriage in execution, " I was never asked to do such a thing before ;" or, " it is the first time of my trying this method." Next we have to consider how a Prime Minister's directions to " choose the fittest man" would operate upon the zeal of a bishop. A bishop, in such a case, would hardly like to find a fittest man ready provided, and half in the place,- as it were. He would naturally be disposed to put by obvious claimants, and to go far a-field and search out such a paragon in some 'unexpected quarter. The bird in the hand is never preferred by one having special commission for a Pheemx. The good housewife, says the wisest of men, fetcheth her food from afar. And so the Bishop, when instructed.' to look out for the fittest man, ranged beyond the gentleman who had the misfortune to be nearest at hand all but inducted. Thus far we have written as apologists for the Bishop ; and further, we must con fess that it appears quite plain that the Bishop con ceived a cFstaste for Mr. Rowlatt's claims, and because there was a smack of plurality-seeking in them. Now, anything that savours, however 'faintly, of plurality, must be very odious to a bishop.; and Mr. Rowlatt undoubtedly desired to hold the living of St. Bride's; together with the readership of the r•Temple. "This was a gluttony which offended the Bishop—it "was - as. if Lazarus had asked fOr Salt with his broken meat, or cheese with his bread. It was like- tlx lawless and profligate luxury of the ass, in Fontaine's Fable of the animals visited . with 'a pestilence, that confessed having cropped a blade of grass to which he was not entitled— Uri loup, qucique peu clerc, prouva par sa harangue Qu'il falloit devouer ce maudit'animal, Ce pol 6 cc galeux, d'oa venoit tout leer mal. Was it not enough to prejudice a clergyman in a bishop's eyes, to see him ready to hold a preferment in the Temple, which must at the least have kept his - family in salt, together with the adjacent living of St. Bride s?—and Mr. R owlatt would have held both if the Bishop would have given him the latter. Thus, when the fat Prior, .in the Daenna, hands the cup he has just-drained .to the starving porter, on'seeing the miserable wretch put the , cup to his lips, he cries out, " Ah, glutton, you would have drunk it, had there been any left." And so the Bishop doubt less - thought of Mr. Rowlatt—" A.l), pluralist, if you could have got it, 'you would have held both." 'lliongll not a' pluralist even in desire, vet such an approach to the desires of a pluralist as Mr. Row latt modestly made, we must suppose, indisposed the Bishop to regard him as the fittest man. It may liere be unthinkingly remarked, that Mr. "Rowlatt's wish to unite two pieces of small preferment (the duties of which are, quite compatible), •was very mod4rate after all ; but this was the very offence of the thing, for as Aris totle remarks, the nature of everything is most clearly seen in the smallest quantities; and so it is with phi , ralities---etheiv.nature is • most' clearly seen by bishops in - these 'very small 'cases. For example;, Bishop Bloomfield'eould not abide the thoughts of Mr. Row lateg•holding the 'living of St. Bride's, with the readership of the Temple. The offensive nature of plurality .Was seen in so small a case; but the, living of St. Bride's held by the last incumbent, Dr. Allen, together with the living of Battersea, had not in the lerst degree -disturbed or scandalized our Right Rey. Father.—Morning Chronicle. When Mr. O'Connell published his first letter, in • reply to the inculpatory statement of Mr. Raphael on the Carlow job, his sycophants in the Ministerial press pronounced the defence complete ; and 'so they woUld if his accuser, instead.of being a mortal man, had been as the Raphael of Milton was, " an Angel of light." The cause of the Ministers and O'Con nell is too closely identified to allow the scribes of the Whig-Radical Press to take an impartial view or pro nounce a correct opinion upon the " safe speculation" in which, at the special instance and request of the Agitator, as proved by his own letters, the Ex-Sheriff of London invested 2,0001. and gained—a loss of 1,1001. more, besides incurring certain liabilities as to accounts yet unsettled. ' A safe Speculation, in deed." . We I,,uSpect that it was not by such specula tions that Mr. Raphael ever became rich enough to attract the attention, of . IVr. O'Connell's eleetioneer, ing patronage. Surely when the simple- Moses Prim rose at the fair, as related in 'the pleasant story of the . " Vicar of Wakefield," was induced by a most plausible gentleman to exchhnge his bit of horse flesh for a gross of green - spectacles with copper rims and shagreen cases, he embarked in quite - as " safe a speculation" as he who was persuaded to pay for the Carlow seat beforehand, and did not get it afterwards. Mr. Raphael has not even been so fortunate as Moses, for he has not got even a " gross,of green spectacles" to show for his money. But the experience is valuable to one who was himself so " green,"and may be pos sibly worth the 3,1001. he has paid for it—and the ' liberal donation of scurrility which has been bestowed upon him into the bargain. BUt though his para sites in the Whig-Radical press pronounced Mr. O'Connell's defence complete, it is quite clear that he did not think so himself, or if he did, he forgot the proverb - about " letting well alone." His first epistle, - along with that of his Carlow friend, was very well contrived to mystify the transaction. His second epistle is more explanatory, and has enabled us to express our opinion as to the illegality of the contract, which we professed ourselves incompetent to do before, in consequence of the obscurity in which the contract was' involved. Some of our Contemporaries have quoted large portions of the Statutes applicable to the parties to illegal contracts touching seats in Parliament • but then it was difficult to solve the question whether the contract came within the proviso contained in the second section of the 49th Geo. 111., cap. 118, until the precise object of it was known. From the first letter of Mr. O'Con nell we were led to believe that he intended to Insist upon the contract being one for money to be paid for legal expenses bona fide incurred at or concerning the election. He has in his second letter taken other grou4, and beyond. all question, as a Morning Con temporary has stated, he has upon . his own showing violated the Act for better securing the independence and purity of Parliament, by preventing the procuring or obtaining. of seats in Parliament by corrupt practices. Let us take Mr. O'Connell's own statement of the nature of the bargain, and the objects to which the . money 'was to'be applied. Let us suppose it all true, although we think Mr. Raphael has. quite as much _right at least to be believed . in everything he asserts,' A _ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVE MBER 17, 1835 as the patron of Counsellor, Hudson, the voucher of Patrick Egan, and the denouncer of David Murphy his. Here, then, is his own statement :—" If there should be no petition, I agreed, on the part of Mr. Vigors, that the greater part of„ the second sum of I,oool.—more than one-half of it—whatever might 'tie the amount of the election expenses, should be ap plied to commence the formation of a fund to indem nify the voters, and their friends and relations, from that persecution which the Carlow landlords then threatened,' and - have since exercised." • Now, what is the proviso of the Act? Here are the words— " Provided always, and be it filrther enacted, that nothing in this Act contained shall extend, or be con strued to extend, to any money paid, or agreed- to be paid to, or by any - person, for any legal expense bona fide incurred at or concerning any election." Clearly then the Carlow contract, whereby a seat in Parliament was bargained for a sum of money—to wit, 2,0001. and guaranteed for that sum as a " safe specu lation," does not come either within the terms or the spirit of this proviso. It would have been just as le gal for M?. Vigors to have deposited " considerably more than the half " of the second 1,0001. in Mr. O'Connell's begging-box, as to have appropriated it to any other purpose than the payment of the expenses ona fide incurred at or concerning the election. Other points in this second epistle, which, perhaps, we might have touched upon, have been so ably handled in the Standard of last night, that nothing new is left for. us to say—so we shalt close our remarks here for the present, advising Mr. Raphael to read the fable of the crow in )Esop, whose vocal talents Were as highly flattered hTthe sly fox at the foot of the tree, as his own patriotism and abillties were by the blarneying Agitator, who certainly carried off more than " a cheese," but not for his " own use," by . the " safe speculation." Loudly, indeed, does ,he now assert that he " never, in reality, mistook the crow for a nightingale."—Morning Herald. . The French papers of Saturday reached us last night. They are occupied with two principal theines, the dispute with America, and the speech of the Em peror Nicholas to the municipal authorities of War saw. The French Government paper, the Journal des Debals, ventures some censorious predictions re specting the American Republic, which it would have been more wise to'avoid. The President of the United States is much less likely to be changed into a " Ci tizen King"—considering the deplorable sample of " Citizen Kingship" now exhibiting ig France—than the throne of Louis Phillippe is to be converted into a Republican President's Chair. We published the speech of the Emperor 'Nicholas last Thursday, be lieving it from internal evidence to be authentic, al though we suspect that no official authentication of it has, up to this moment, reached the Foreign Of: flee. It creates an equal burst of excited surprise and indignation in the French capital as it does here. It is tantamount to a declaration of war—not against liberty only—not against free institutions only—but against civilization and humanity itself. There are some offences which, as pr. Johnson says, are " be yond the reproof of words," and this is one - of them. The truculent despot who uttered the insane diatribe in question, can only be addressed in language like that of the old dramatist— " Silence of scorn befits us ! Thou art so profligate that We admire thee And know not what td say." The French papers communicate few' new facts re specting Spain ; but those few are important, and con firm all our predictions. By them our readers have been doubtless prepared for the gratifying announce ment that we are now about to make. We believe that we may say, in the language of the prize-ring, that the " game is all up" with the Carlist rebels. am Carlos was at Irun on the Bth instant, within a league and a half of the French frontier, evidently con vinced that the " better part of valour was discre tion," and resolved to " live and fight another day" by " running away" on the present occasion. So end in . smoke his thousand and one " glorious victories,' and the march on Madrid," so much vapoured about by our Conservative contemporaries. The visionary arch is something like that of another celebrated , otentate— " The King of France marched up a hill With twenty thousand men, Did he,' indeed? What did he then ? 'Why—he marched down again." —Morni',io - Advertiser. The fierce Tartar who now fills the throne of Hus sia, a throne - which, under the visitations of a just Pro vidence, has more than once dripped with the blood of its possessors—who, autocrat as he dreams of being— who,- blind and helpless tool of his own evil destiny, and worker of his own destruction, as in truth he is— was reported some days ago to have addressed the mh gistrtcy of Warsaw in a speech viva voce. - Nobody at first believed that Nicholas had really - spoken the speech .imputed to him. Nobody, on the other hand, who Was well acquainted with the character of Ni cholas, or with his history, or with the relations wherein he had placed himself towards the Polish race —or with those scorpion stings by which, through the day and through the night—in crowds and in solitude—in health and sickness—in the waking, and above all, in the sleeping, hour of her tyrant, Po land has never yet suspended her terrible retaliations Upon his distracted and.tortured spirit-:-no such person could have failed to see in every line of thatshocking pro duction strong internal evidence that if Nicholas had an opportunity of speaking for one. moment to the Poles, he could have - expressed himself in no other accents. However, we must state the thing as it has happened. People—that is, the press of France and England, in the former country to some extent, and here un questionably the organ of national intelligence and feeling—did not at first give credence to the story, that from the lips of any head that wore a crown—even that of Russia—such a speech had ever been delivered. The fart, nevertheless, is beyond dispute, that the words were uttered. And how is it accounted for ? By an involuntary and almost unanimous asseveration that the speaker cannot be in a sound state of.mind I Think, reader, what must be the true temper of a dis course, the authenticity of which was doubted for no reason but that no sane intellect Could'have suggested the argument conveyed in it ?, There are certainly some circumstances in the late proceedings of Nicholas which are at least calculated to create astonishment. His sudden journey to Vienna, and proceedings there, and abrupt departure thence, have not yet been clearly accounted for ; and there is no construction of his deeds or words easily compatible with sense or reason. There is in Russia no responsibility of Ministers. There is no sovereign power but one—.and that the Czar. There is no legislative authority, like that of our two Houses of • Parliament, which can supply a legal substitution where the Royal capacity is sus pended. In fact, there is no redress for wrongs in flicted by the distempered but still the supreme will and pleasure of a miserable unprotected autocrat. But if Nicholas be no more than the spoilt minion of un restrained power, as we are ourselves inclined to think . him, the amount of his atrocity, in the general esti mation of mankind, may be measured by the humi liating excuse thus made for him. He reproaches the Poles with their love of Poland, and assumes, as an unerring truth, the impossibility that they can feel towards himoheir subjugator, other sentiments than those of never-dying detestation. In this assumption there is certainly no want of sound judgment. Never, did the consciousness of unpardonable guilt be tray itself in proof more glaring never did impe nitent tyranny stand so confessed before God and man. " Don't dare to tell me that lam not exe crated at the bottom of your hearts—l—l who have perfidiously - violated all those pledges to Poland and to Europe, under which your country was placed in my _possession--4' who cufsed you with the despotism of my savage'brother Constahtme—l, who have covered Poland with the tombs of her best and bravest patriots, ---whO have satiated the very . lust and wantonness of cruelty, in banishments, confiscations, imprisonments, and massacres without end—l, who have threatened to make it doubtful whether the dispersion of the Jews was more complete than that of the Polish nation shall be—l, who now, in the known clemency of my nature, promise you, that if but a breath of lamentation, if but one moan of sorrow at the ruin of that land which saved Europe from bondage,—when Russia was safe 'from the cupidity of conquerors because she was below their contempt—that if one such sound of grief o r suf fering from an outraged and ',persecuted people shall reach the jealous ear of . myself or my Field Marshal, I will on the instant=what ? relieve, or raise, or comfort, or support you, _or let fall a soldier's pity on the anguish of the brave? No, slaves—no victims,—no, you that have dared to live , after I ordained you to perish—but that I will blow from the surface . of the earth the ancient capital of you; ,renowned country by the fire of this very Russian citadel, built for its extinction. I, once more, who have so deeply wronged, so grievously maltreated,' so , betrayed, and so undone you, I command you not to whispej one word of courtesy, for it is not in the whole range of human feeling that you can do other wise than rightfully and piously abhor me." Such is the cold accuracy of this remorseless conqueror—such his correct arithmetic of the breast of man—and such the sentence passed by him upon his own actions. But . we rejoice at this. The fruit of it is coming. Tt is to Europe at large—to France and to England above all the rest of Europe—bitter mockery and insult, and' provocation, which at length we trust will not fall short -of its object. In this fine outburst of an em broidered barbarian, we find a lesson applicable to the various emergencies which are pressing upon Eng land, as well as other Powers in the East and in tlie West. LCO.Ok at the principle developed by the speech of Nicholas. It is the excess, it it the very Jacobinism of monarchy. " Submit to my will in silence; speak not, move not, weep not for your miseries, or I will thunder upon you from my fortresses—l will answer your cries with cannon." If guilty violence be sure to recoil upon itself, will it not do so here ? If the early French revolutionists ruined their blood-founded republic by tyrannyif Bonaparte by tyranny destroyed an empire, by tyranny created—if, again, the grovel lipg autocrats of Ireland, the Kehoes, and Mahers, and Walshes, and O'Connells have, by riot and waste in the use of it, laid the axe to the root of their own mis begotten dominion,•why should the wildness of unbri dlede, wickedness fail to work its natural effects as be tween the Czar of Russia and the people of Poland, reinforced, as they are, by the hearts and roused pas sions of the whole of living Christendom—ay, and of mote than Christendom ? We do protest in all sin cerity and gladness that this last offence of the Russian tyrant is viewed by us as the most cheering symptom we have ever yet perceived of the universal rottenness on which rests his ostentatious and aggressive empire. It bespeaks the .harassed eagerneSs of a mind which sees itself on the brink of a crisis, for which it has made but feeble preparation. - It bespeaks, we, trust, the near approach of some one great and portentous change. And there is no change in store for Russia by which the rights of nations, and the interests of hu manity, must .not in all rational probability be-gainers. cumstance Mr. Retch wrote immediately to the Lord Mayor the first letter of that correspondence which had taken place between the parties, and he did so because he expected that the matter would come before the Magis trates on the following day ; and if he had produced only the report in the newspapers, it would have been said, in answer to any observation .he might make on the subject, that he was trusting entirely to a newspaper report, and that possibly the Lord Mayor might never have uttered the words which had been imputed to him. Under these cir cumstances he had merely required to - know whether the words imputed to the Lord Mayor had really been uttered by him. The letter was in the following terms : "My Lord,—l copy the following paragraph from the Morning Herald of yesterday The Lord Mayor said the Court was much indebted to Alderman Thomas Wood for bringing forward this scandalous matter.' I need not allude to the occasion on which the above is stated to have been uttered, as it must be fresh in your recollection. You will oblige me by informing me, with i the least possible delay, whether it be a correct report of what you then said ? I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient servant, " B. ROTCH." " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. It was sworn by Mr. Rotch that the expression " with the least possible delay," had been ttsed by him with reference to the shortness of the time which must expire before the subject canre under the consideration of the Magistrates, and he wanted the return of the answer of the Lord'Mayor in order to show whether the words imputed - were or were not a mere newspaper report. It appeared to- him (Mr. Thessiger) that Alderman Winchester might have conde scended to reply to this letter ; and if he had done so, and had even avowed using the words, and stated that he wds justified in using -them, supposing the account of Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood to be correct, it might have been better. The matter was brought before the Magis trates of Middlesex; a long investigation took place, Mr. Rotch explained what he had done, and the result was that the Magistrates sanctioned what he had done. The return was examined into, the reasons, and the evidence on which they were founded were canvassed—all was reviewed, and the approbation of the Court was given to Mr. Rotch for his conduct, and it was moved and carried that it had the satisfaction of the Court. Up to this time, and until s later period (the 29th of October), Mr. Rotch was ignorant of the mode in which Mr. Alderman Winchester had re ceived-the gentleman who carried the letter. , This ap peared from the affidavit of Mr. Guppy, and it was this matter which, in obedience to the rule of law already re 7 ferred to, Mr. Alderman Winchester ought to have brought before the Court. It appeared by , Mr. Guppy's affidavit that when he called on the Lord Mayor with the letter the latter said, " Well, I only said that Alderman Thomas Wood was qiiite right in bringing the matter before the Court." Mr. Guppy then said, " that is what I wish to ascertain ; I wish to know whether you did not use the words scandalous affair,' when speaking of that matter ?" Mr. Alderman Winchester answered, " I will not say whe ther I (lid or not : it was a scandalous affair. Was it not a scandalous thing to say that the City, or the Court of Aldermen (Mr. Guppy could not say which), made a profit of Newgate ;" on which Mr. Guppy again asked him the same question as before, and the Lord Mayor answered— " I will haye nothing to say to Mr. Rotch. The Court of Aldermen is a close Court : you may leave me : I have nothing more to say to you." Now, of all this there was not one word in Mr. Alderman Winchester's affidavit, and it was the suppression of this material evidence, of the irritating and provoking conduct on the part of- Mr. Alderman Winchester, that disentitled him to the. rule he now sought to obtain. He (Mr. Thcssiger) should not attempt to justify what had subse quently taken place. Here was, however , a gross 'offence towards the fried(' whom Mr. Rotch had sent, and towards Mr. Rotch himself, and here, too, was a repetition of the original offence to Mr. Rotch—a repetition of it, too, not at a time when Mr. Alderman Winchester was clothed with his official character, which he might have considered would have secured him from responsibility,. but when he was called upon by letter to say whether he had Used these ex pressions or not. It was a gross offence to repeat these words, and when he said that the Court of Aldermen was a close Court, the Court of Aldermen, if it were so, should take care that a matter offensive to individuals should not find its way beyond its doors. It was not right or pro per to open the doors of the Court for slander, and to close them for responsibility. This was the matter to which he wished to direct Their Lordships' attention, and then to ask them whether Mr. Alderman Winchester had, in his conduct, complied with the condition 'on which criminal informations were to be granted. Mr. Rotch was naturally irritated when he found how his friend had been treated. Mr. Guppy was obliged to go that evening to Bristol, and Mr. Rotch was therefore compelled to apply to another friend, to Mr. Carvick, , by whom he transmitted a second note to the Lord Mayor, requesting an answer to his first letter. This second application had the same suc cess as the first. Mr. Alderman Winchester was at the King's 'Head Tavern, in the Poultry, at dinner, when Mr. Carvick arrived, and that gentleman was ttCeived and dis missed with the same abruptness as Mr. Guppy had been, though the same offensive expressions were not used towards him. He now came to that part of the case in which he felt that he should not be discharging his duty to their Lordships, and to Mr. Rotch himself, if he did not express his deep regret that, in a moment of irritation, from the repeated insults he had received, Mr. Rotch committed a breach of the law, and sent a letter intended .as ri chal lenge to fight a duel. But if the laws had been offended, there were the ordinary remedies open to Mr. Alderman Winchester. It was not the matter which pressed, and if Mr. Alderman Winchester came to appeal to the discre tion of the Court, he was bound to do that which would give him a claim to its exercise in his favour. • Mr. ADOLPHUS followed on the same side. _ Mr. LAW supported the rule. Mr. Justice PATTESONSaid that the object of the let ters of Mr. Retch was inanifest, and the rule must be made absolute. Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS expressed his full concurrence with this opinion, and said that Mr. Alderman 'Winchester had substantially communicated the: whole affair, and had not been guilty of any suppression whatever. Mr. Alstice COLERIDGE concurred.—Rule absolute: BAILCOURT-MONDAY. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat in this Court to-day for the purpose of hearing motions. CHAMBERS'S BANKRUPTCY.-STENTON V. GROOM. Mr. KELLY applied to his Lordship for a rule to show cause why the further proceedings in this cause should not be stayed, until the . further order of the Court thereon. The Learned Counsel stated that this was one of several actions commenced for the purpose of trying the validity of the commission of bankruptcy issued against Mr. Chambers. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—YOU may take a rule to show cause. COMMON PLEAS.-MONDAY. JACKSON V. FERNIE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 6041. Is. 3d., the amount of certain bills of exchange. Sir W. FOLLETT moved to reduce the.verdict to 2001. - After hearing the Learned Counsel, it was suggested that the matter might be arranged out of Court, which was ac cordingly done. • SANDON V. EATON. This was an action tried in the Sheriff's Court. It was brought to recover a sum of 15/. for work and labour done. The verdict passed for the defendant. Mr. VINE to-day moved to set aside the verdict.—Rule refused. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These sessions commenced yesterday morning, Mr. Ser geant ANDREWS presiding in the absence of the Chair man. The calendar is unusually light. For the conve nience of prosecutors living at a distance, the Court made a new regulation for having their cases first sent before the Grand Jury, and first tried ; an arrangement which has the further advantage of reducing the expenses to be al lowed out of the county rate. Several Grand Jurors, who omitted to appear when their names were called over, were fined 101. each. It'fary Allen, a female respectably attired, twenty-eight years of age, was indicted for stealinc , a habit-shirt, the property of Mr. Peter Lenard, at the Soho Bazaar, on Wednesday last. The circumstances of the case have been so recently fully given in the police reports that they must be fresh in recollection of the reader. Mr. PHILLIPS, as her counsel, cross-examined the wit nesses, and made an ineffectual attempt to show that the prisoner was at the time in a state of mind not to know what she was doing. Verdict—Guilty. She was subsequently tried and convicted for stealing a Prayer Book, at the Pantheon, the property of Louisa Rothery. There were three other indictments against her ; one for s tealing a silver caddy - spoon ; another for a brooch ; and the third for stealing A bottle of perfume ; all on the same morning, and at the fashionable lounges. The Court deemed it unnecessary to try her an these ; and, in pronouncing sentence, expressed regret at seeing a person of so respectable appearance, and who appeared to good society', so degraded b y h er own vicious have moved in propensities as to compel them to sentence her, in justice to the community at large, to seven y ears ' t ransportat i on . The prisoner said nothing during the whole time_ she stood at the bar, but wept bitterly, and appeared to feel deeply her degraded situation. CHANCERY COURT.--NON DA Y. -BOWER V. NIARRIS AND OTHERS. Sir L. SHADWELL delivered his judgment. The plain tiffs, he said, were cestui qui trusts of Joseph Marris. He died in or abOut 1809, the decree was pronounced in 1816, and although it was not very clear in its terms, vet • it substantially ►worked out the rights of the parties as they were stated on the pleadings. Indeed, the appellants themselves must have long remained of that opinion, for they did not appeal, in fact, until 1831. The cases cited in support of the appeal did not exactly apply so as to justify the Court now in upsetting the accounts already' taken and acted upon in this case. It was, therefore, the opinion of the Court that the appeal must be dismissed. As there was some obscurity in the wording of the decree, leaving it open to some doubt, their Lordships were of Opinion that the appellants should not have to pay the costs. The appellants should pay their own costs, and have the deposit returned*to them, and the costs of all the respond , ents Should be paid out of the -fund in Court. BARRETT V. HOWARD. Mr. THESSIGER moved for a, new trial of the issue directed by Lord Lyndhurst, when Lord Chancellor, in this cause. The bill was filed to compel the specific per formance of an agreement by the defendant for the lease of a house at Tunbridge Wells. The agreement had been signed by the defendant's brother, and the defendant in sisted that be had no authority from her to enter into such a contract on her behalf. The case haying gone to a cer tain length in the Court of Chancery, and witnesses having been examined, the Lord Chancellor, on the matter being brought before him by way of appeal, commented on the evidence ; and having observed that without the evidence of a witness of the name of Rourke the plaintiff's case could not .be made out, and that he thought the Court ought not to decree a specific performance without giving 4 the defendant an opportunity of cross-examining the witness, directed the issue; which_ had been tried at the last Assizes. Mr. PLATT opposed the motion. Sir L. SHADWELL said that it was clear that there must be a new trial: Sir J. BO'SANQULT concurred, and the trial vas directed to come on in the . sittings after Term. WARREN 7.4 * COLLEY. Mr. SPENCE, in support of an appeal from. a decree of the Master of the Rolls, said the question arose upon the will of Colonel Young, by which he gave the residue of his personal estate, consisting of money in the funds, to his wife for life, and after her death the principal of the fund was to 'be divided into six parts, of which he gave to each of his nieces by nurne share, and in reversion to their lawful heirs in perpetuity in the female line ; and, considering that they may die unmarried, and consequently without lawful issue, then, in that event, he directed the share of her . so dying to be for the use of the Bible Society ; the second vacant share to go to the Church Missionary Society ; and the third to another Society. The nieces were sisters of the name of Wolfe, and one of them was at the time a widow. The others were un married, and one of them had since died unmarried and with. out issue, on which event the Society entitled to the first share claimed it ; but on the hearino. the Master of the Rolls said the gift was too remote, and, therefore, void ; and that the de -ceased, niece's personal representatives were entitled to her share. From this part of the decree the Society appealed. Sir W. HORNE supported the decree of the Court below. Sir L. SHADWELL said that it was the opinion of the Court that this decree could not stand. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET being of the same opinion, the decree of the Master of the Rolls was reversed. The Court rose at four o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-MONDAY• LORD DIIRIIANI V. MILBANKE. This was a bill filed by the plaintiff to have a declaration that the legal estate of certain property was vested in him. Tire case turned upon the construction of a settlement and several deeds. The late Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel con tracted to sell to Lord Durham an estate, over which he bad a power of appointment, which be had never executed. The present Sir J. P. Milbanke refused to complete the contract without taking the opinion of the Court as to the construction of the deeds. Lady Byron was also a party to the suit ; her father, Sir Ralph, baring settled the sur plus of the money upon her. His Honour, the MASTER or THE ROLLS, after hearing the arguments, ordered the declaration sought to be made ; the costs to be paid out of the estate of the vendor. KING'S BENCH.-MONDAY. REX V. BOTCH, ESQ. The pew trial paper was taken, and at the end of the day Mr. R. LAW moved that the rule in the King v. B. Rotch, Esq., should be made absolute. Mr. TUESSIGER was instructed to show cause against this application. Lord Mansfield had declared- the rule to be, that when parties asked from the Court a special in terposition in their favour, they must be candid with the Court, and state all the circumstances of the case. Now, it would be shown to their Lordships that Mr. Alderman Winchester kept back one material circumstance. It ap peared that there had been a Committee of the House of 'Lords, assembled for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the gaols throughout England and Wales. By that Com mittee returns were required froth the Chairman of the dif ferent Quarter Sessions for Middlesex ; and in the dis 'charge of his duty as Chairman, and without any personal feeling whatever against the Court of the Mayer and Aldermen, or against any individual who composed that body, he made - a return to the Lords' Committee, in which he described the state of" the gaol of New gate. That return appeared to have given considerable offence, and on Oct. 28, there appeared in the Morning Herold newspaper a report of proceedings in the Court of Aldermen, in which Mr. Alder Man Thomas Wood was stated to have said that the return'in question was a tissue of wilful and deliberate falsehoods ; and Mr. Alderman Withester, then Lord Mayor, was reported to have said that the Court was much indebted to the worthy Alder man for bringing fore and this scandalous matter. Mr. Rotch came to town on Wednesday, the 28th of October. He saw this report in the newspapers. He expected that the matter would come before the Middlesex magistrates upon the following day, before whom it was understood that it would be introduced by Sir Peter Laurie, who was both a magistrate of the county and an Alderman of the City of London, and who was so expected to introduce it, be cause, in the Court of Aldermen, -Alderman yarebrother had expressed a hope that Sir Peter would bring it before the Middlesex Magistrates. In consequence of this cir- EXTENSIVE FORGERIES OF AUSTRIAN AND POLISH BANK NOTES. Yesterday Tilos. HALLS, Esq., the presiding Magistrate at Bow-street Police Office, was engaged nearly the whole of the d 4, and up to a late hour, in an investigation of the most important description, relating to forgeries to an enor mous amount, which have been committed in this country, of Austrian and Polish bank-notes. Two well-dressed men, named Robert Balls, an engraver, and Thomas Harris, an aged Polish Jew, were brought for ward in the custody of Ruthven and Fletcher, the officers of the establishment, on the charge of having been engaged in the commission of forgeries of Austrian and Polish notes. Mr. Bodkin appeared as Counsel for the prosecution, and was attended by the Chief Acctuntant of the Austrian Bank, the Austrian Consul, and other functionaries con nected with that country. Mr. E. Isaacs appeared as Solicitor for Harris, and a professional gentleman for Balls, the lalter of whom had a well-filled brief in his hand, and cross-examined some of the witnesses himself, in spite of the strongest advice given to him by his Solicitor to hold his tongue. • Bongits said lie had the honour of appearing on be half of the Austrian Government, for the purpose of pro secuting the prisoners, who ' stood charged with forgeries to an immense amount. The Austrian Government had long since discovered that an immense amount of forged paper was in circulation thioughout the empire, and it being ascertained, almost to a certainty, that the notes were forged in England, that Government despatched a confidential agent, who was principal accountant and cashier to the Imperial Bank at Vienna, to this coun try, with the view, if possible, of tracing the criminals. That gentleman arrived in London in August last, and Ruthven and .Fletcher, the officers, were, by direction of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, em ployed to endeavour to detect the forgers. After very ex traordinary and meritorious exertions on the part of the offi cers, they succeeded, on the 9th of November, in appre hending the two prisoners, and a third person, whose exa mination would be gone into after the present, under cir cumstances which, he believed, would leave no doubt that they had been participators in the la nefarious traffic which had been so extensively carried on. The two prisoners were found, as it would appear by the evidence, acting in perfect concert, and engaged in one common purp'ose, and that he apprehended would be sufficient to fix them equally with the guilt of the transaction. In cases of coining and uttering forged notes it was always ruled that if' a person was near enough to see and know what was going on, it was sufficient to identify him with the charge, although there were no positive proof of his takins , an active part in it. These remarks applied chiefly to the prisoner Harris. Ruthven, who bad been watching them for some months, had repeatedly seen them together in the streets, and at other places, in familiar conversation. The Learned Coun sel then went on to state the circumstances as they will be found described in Ruthven's evidence, and added that be charged the prisoners 'under a recent Act of Parliament, passed in 1830. It was Ist William IV., cap. 66., sec. 19, and for the information of the Magistrates, he would read the clause :—" And be it further enacted, that if any person shall engrave, or in any . wise make on any plate whatever, or on any wood, stone, or other mate rial, any bill of exchange, promissory note, undertaking, or order, for the payment of money ; - or any part of any bill of exchange, promissory note, &c.,. in whatever lan guage or languages the seine may be expressed, and whether the, same shall or shall not be intended to be under seal purporting to be a note or part of a note of any foreign Prince or State, or of any Minister or - Officer in the ser vice of any foreign Prince or State, or any body corporate or other body of like nature, constituted or recognized by any foreign Prince or state, or 'of any person or corns pany of persons residing in any country not under the dominion of his Majesty, without the authority of such Power, State, or body corporate, 'the proof of which autho rity shall lie upon the accused person, or if any person without such authority to be proved as aforesaid, shall use or without lawful excuse, to be proved by the accused, knowingly have in his or her custody or possession any plate, stone, wood, or other material upon which any such forged bill, note, &e., or any part thereof, shall he engraved or made, or if any person 01411 without such authority, to be proved as aforesaid, knowingly have in his or her pos session any paper upon which any part of such bill, note, &c., shall be printed, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and in the discretion of the Court may be transported for any term not. exceeding fourteen years, nor less than seven years, or imprisoned for any term not exceeding three years; nor less than one year." Mr. Bodkin then called the fol lowing witnesses s—s George Thomas Joseph Ruthven sworn—ln August last he was employed by Mr. Salzman, the Chief Aceount ant of the Austrian Bank, and on the 9th of the present month he went, in consequence of information which he had obtained, to the Flying Horse, in Crown-street, Finsbury square, where he saw the prisoner_ Harris and another per son, not in custody, together. They left there and - went into another public-house in an adjoining street, where they remained about a quarter of an hour, and then came out with the prisoner Bells, and went to he Star Coffee-house 'in Crown-street. Witness had been watching. them since August last, and bad seen them frequently together. He suffered them'to be there for six or seven minutes, and then went in with Mr. Salzman and Fletcher, and found the two prisoners and the third person alluded to sitting in a box together in the coffee-room. Witness took a seat so as to have a full view of them, and he saw a pocket-book on the table, which Balls took up and opened. They were all en gaged in a whispering conversation at that time. Witnesi then saw Balls take out some pieces of brass from his pocket, and hand them to Harris. They were the same, he believed, which he now produced. Harris looked at them, but witness could not say that he took them in his band.; but he was near enough to have done so. The whispering continued while the brass was being examined. The brass was then returned to Balls's pocket, and in about ten minutes he got up 'to go away. Witness, however, Stopped him and took him into custody, and took Harris also. The third persOn went away. He searched Balls and found the three pieces of brass now produced upon his person. He also found eleven pieces of. paper, upon which Was engraved, or written parts, in imitation of an Austrian note, as witness believed. There were four other pieces, which he believed consisted of portions of a genuine Austrian note. He brought the prisoners to this office, and with some keys which he found, upon biro he went to Ballsrs house, 18, Ironmonger-street, St. Luke's, and searched it. One of the keys fitted the lock of a port manteau, and he there found a frame, containing engraved wood with letter type, and eight pieces of paper in a fn box, with a• stamp marked, on each, in imitation of that used on the genuine Austrian note. A genuine Austrian note for fifty florins was here put in by Mr. Bodkin, and compared with the stamp and with the brass plates and wood types, and found to correspond. Ruthven said that when he told Balls the nature of the charge upon which he apprehended him, he said he could prove that it was not a forgery, for that they could not put in the double colour. When before the Magistrates, he said the brass plates, &c., were merely for the purpose of illustrating a work which he was about publishing, to de monstrate the possibility of preventing forgeries. He said also that be was employed by a rich merchant, from whom he had received several sums of money. He afterwards went to Harris's lodgings, at No. 5, Saddler's Hall-court, Houndsditch, where he- found in a cupboard, in the first floor front room, two Russian-Polish notes, which witness believes to be forgeries, and four pieces of paper bearing imitations, all of which he now produced. Cross-examined by Balls—l believe you have said you saw me hand the brass over the table to Harris ? Ruth yen—Yes. • Ball—,-It was a public room, was it not ? Ruthven— Certainly. • Balls—Do you call that doing business secretly ? Ruthven—lt appeared to be done as secretly as possible. Balls—Do you call it doing business openly and pub licly ? Ruthven—l have stated the fact, and it is for others to judge of the privacy or' publicity that you speak of. Balls—Did you find the frame with the wood type se creted at all ? Did you find it up the chimney, or beneath the floor, or under the bed ? Ruthven—l found it in the portmanteau. _ Abraham Fetcher, the officer, corroborated Ruthven's statement. Mr. Bodkin—Mr. Salzman, have you seen the Austrian notes manufactured ? Mr. Salzman—O, yes. Mr. Bodkin—ls there any difficulty in putting on the black and red colours? -Mr. Salzman—None whatever. Captain .John Bausemar, of the Polish service, said he was acquainted with Polish notes. The pieces of notes found at Harris's were parts of genuine Polish notes. The two entire notes were decidedly forgeries. They were imitations of the five-florinotes of the currency of Poland. Mr. Bodkin said this was. all the evidence he had to offer at present, as it would be necessary to have communica tion with the Russian and Austrian Governments for the purpose of having more witnesses brought over. Mr. Isaacs objected, and said all the necessary evidence was now present, and it was not necessary to send to Rus sia merely to call upon them to prosecute. Mr. Bodkin-LWe don't call upon the Russian Govern ment to piosecute—we only ask. them to furnish the mate rials in the shape of evidence. After some further conversation, the prisoners were re manded for a fortnight. Mordecai Moses, an old Polish Jew, was then put to the bar, charged upon the following evidence. He was attended by Mr. Yates, a solicitor. Ruthven deposed that, in consequence of information, be went, after the apprehension of the other prisoners, to the Strand Coffee-house, near Temple Bar, and found the pri- soner Moses in a box alone. Witness knew' him before. lie had a parcel lying on the table, and witness went tooner tbe box and put his hand towards it , up on w hich the pris drew it towards himself, and said the box was engaged. Witness seized the parcel, and took the ,prisoner into cus tody, and found in the parcel 104 pieces of paper, now pro duced, with three engraved copper-plates and -a thin brass one. He searched . the prisoner, and found four Guernsey notes not filled up or signed. When witness told prisoner what he took him for, he said. " Then I have been sold." Captain Bausemar looked at the 104 note s, which were imitations of the Polish five-florin notes, and said they were all forgeries. The copper and brass p lates now p roduced were those from which the notes must hav e been struck. • The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was ells ° remanded for a fortnight. As he was leaving the bar, he was asked what countryman he was ? and he said, " A na' tive of Cracow, in Poland, but he left it very young. when he quitted the country, it belonged to Prussia ; but he knew not to whom it belonged now." Mr. Bodkin said the case was one of vast importance. The system of forgery had created incalculable mischief ill Poland, where these notes, formed almost the only circulating medium. - The office was crowded during the whole of the e xanli' nation. Mr. Francis Salzman, Chief Accountant of the Austrian Bank, deposed that, in consequence of instructions from hi s Government, he came to this country in August last, since which he bad been engaged in superintending, the exer tions of Ruthven and his brother officer. The note no; wi' produced was a genuine one of the Austr i a n Bank, an," was for fifty florins, or 51. Fnglish money. He was 't: Ruthven when the prisoners were apprehended , and `chi passed had been correctly described by that officer. Tb e three pieces of brass produced were engravings of three different parts of the genuine Austrian note, and niost correctly engraved. The imitation was of the genuine no te produced, and done with extraordinary skill. The elev en pieces of paper now produced all bore impressions in iruitir tion of various parts of the genuine Austrian notes. The other four pieces of paper formed portions of similar imita' tions. The three wooden blocks produced had upon thew imitations of those parts of a genuine note which are done in letter, and the metal types were such as formed the body of the note. Every Austrian note. bears a white s tool', and the one now produced found at Balls's appeared to b e genuine, the others forged. Balls—Are you the prosecutor? Mr. Salzman—l think the King is the prosecutor. Balls—Will you swear that the imitations are, like tb genuine notes ? Mr. Salzman — They are very like, are counterfeits. Balls—What are you ? Mr. Salzman—l am Chief Ike" countant to the Bank of Austria. Balls—Aye, and a pretty accountant you are.—(A.laug h ' ) Mr. II ALIC—lf you have any questions to ask you al at liberty to put them, bait these remarks are quite out 0 ` he usual course, and do you no good.
