!withhold it. The Duke of Wellington, we are told, ' " succeeded with the Court party, to procure at once, upon a most silly pretext, on the death of Lord Spencer, a dissolution, first of the Ministry, and next of the Parliament, converting himself, for weeks upon weeks, into the autocrat of England :" Katterfelto proving, by this sentence, that he is almost as trustworthy a narrator of the events which he himself has seen, as of those in a former century, which it ap pears he never read of. The Duke of Wellington had not half so much to do with the dissolution of the Melbourne Ministry of 1834, as had Mr. Daniel O'Connell himself ; and the exercise of high-minded and 'disinterested honour whereby the illustrious Duke Surrendered to another statesman the chief place in a Government which was already, by the Royal will, his awn, seems, as might indeed have been supposed, quite above the comprehension of Mr. Katterfelto O'Connell. The juggler goes on. "In short, the Commons, led by Lord John Russell, were right in every thing—the Lords, led by the Duke of Wellington, were wrong from first to last.(! I) This is the plain and simple history of the last session ; there is nothing of heat or passion, still less is there any thing of exag geration, in the detail of the facts." No, truly, there is neither " heat nor passion"—all is deliberate, cal culating, cold-blooded, unprincipled, " plain and simple," and downright falsehood. The Russell ridden House of Commons " were right in every thing," because they voted every thing that could forward the schemes and machinations of Mr. Katter felto O'Connell. The House of Lords were wrong in every thing, because they had the wickedness to thwart and frustrate such machinations. We have with some difficulty found room for the entire of this voluminous -rigmarole, to the exclusion of better things. Our first intention was merely to publish what he calls propo tsitions, being a string of puerile abstractions inter larded with impudent and malignant slanders. They inay be termed 14 joints of the tail of Katterfelto s performance, but have not even the low merit of sleight ,of-hand to recommend them. We trust the reader will spare an extra yawn to No. 9; which sets forth with inimitable gravity the title of the House of Han 'over to the Crown of these realms by virtue of '‘‘ universal suffrage !" Upon the whole, we take for ;granted that heads of a Bill are already prepared in the' secret department of Lord John Russell's office, and in conformity with the 14 " incontrovertible proposi tions" of the learned Daniel Katterfelto ; for to our understanding of Lord John's reach, Daniel must doubtless appear a real conjurer.—Tiincs. In our Saturday's impression appeared a letter from Mr. Sheriff Salomons to the inhabitants of the Ward of Aldgate. Is is characterised at once by that tem per, good sense, and public spirit, which the position in which he has been placed by the Court of Alder men especially demands. His whole case is briefly and forcibly concentrated in that address, and it is not less worthy of the attention of the British public at large than of the inhabitants of the Ward of Aldgate, to whom it is more particularly addressed. Under the above just impression of his position', Mr. S4eriff Salomons divides the subject-matter of his address into two parts—the first of which is local in its bearings, as concerns the privileges of the Ward of Aldgate, violated in his own person ; the second gene ral in its bearings, as affecting the 'great question of civil and religious liberty—and those privileges---com prising as their chief distinction an equality befme the law—which ought to be the birthright of every Englishman. Mr. Sheriff Salomons justly complains of tie personal and local nature of the grievance inflicted on himself and on his fellow-citizens of the Ward. He has great reason to complain ; since in the character of Sheriff of London and Middlesex he is serving one of the highest offices known to the common law. If, then, he be incompe tent to the performance of an inferior function—that of an Alderman—it must he evident that he is equally incompetent to the performance of the very serious and important duties which now devolve upon him. The Court of Aldermen are either unable or unwilling to perceive the mischief they are doing to society when they thus, by their own act, intrcduee doubt into the right in which a public functionary is deciding or act ing n cases of the most momentous consequence to his fellow-creatures. By such an act they are tend ing to confound the elements of society, and to shake its very corner-stone, more than the most desperate leveller of whom they affect to entertain so susceptible an antipathy. The decision of a Court of Aldermen altogether—setting this point aside—is a combina tion of injustice which calls loudly, not only for the application of redress in the instance of the especial case to which it refers, but for an inatant applica tion of the besom of Reform to the dark archives and dusty nooks of the Court in which so im politic a stroke of bigotry was secretly concocted. Under whatever aspect it is examined, the features of gross partiality and exaggerated injustice appear. If Mr. Salomons had taken the declaration urged upon him he might have been an Alderman now instead of Mr. Humphrey, who is sworn in. In other words, if he had violated his conscience, and committed an of fence therefore against' God and man, the Court of Aldermen might pronounce him fit to sit amongst them. But because he refuses to stigmatize himself by an act of admitted criminality, the Court of Aldermen pro nounce him to be unfit for their association. We leave them to the enjoyment of the verdict logically im plicated in their own act. But the affair grows darker still when we look at what follows. Mr. Humphrey is sworn in as Alderman, and not asked to take the decla ration. Others are' sworn in, but the declaration is not urged. It is quite clear, therefore, that the urging of it might have been equally waived in the case of Mr. Salomons. It is quite clear that it might have been so waived, unless for the invidious purpose of apply ing an obsolete Act to the malicious exclusion of an obnoxious individual. To this complexion must come at last all the stereotyped courtesy usual on these occasions, and the usual forms of complimen tary no-meaning, viz.—" That there is no man in the world for whom we entertain so high a respect — no man with whorlt we should be so proud of asso ciating, either in public or private," &c. &c. These com pliments are something like those of George Cole man's Sir Thomas, who most politely begs the pardon of the Frenchmen before he undertakes the unpleasant task of cutting their throats. But after all Mr. Sheriff Salomons did not refuse to take this identical declara tion : he required time to consult his legal adviser, in deed. But the Court of Aldermen chose to consider this reasonable request as a denial, and resolved to Burke the whole affair with a precipitation not usual to their ordinary slow movements. They determined to take the denial for granted ; issued their writ for a new election the same evening, and have now sworn in M r. Humphrey as Alderman, in the room of Mr. Sa lomons. We have thus two Aldermen in two Wards, Portsoken and Aldgate,—the one the Alderman of the people, the other the Alderman of the close Court of exclusive incurables, whose veto thus nullifies/ and abrogates the rights of free election. We might say more on this subject ; but as our readers will per ceive by the advertisement to which we refer, that Mr. Salomons intends to appeal to the Courts of Justice for a legal decision on the point between him and Mr. Humphrey, it will not be requisite to enter at large—pendente late—into the legal bearings of the question. We may, however, briefly express our con viction that a better case never went into Court. A reference to .the annual Indemnity Bill will, indeed, show that if the rule so rigidly applied to Mr. Salo to other indi v id ua l s , th e mons, were to be applied greatest confusion would occur. The very name of the Bill shows its purpose—that its object was to pro vide that the public service should not be injured by frivolous and litigious objections raised against indivi dual opinion, like those raised upon the present occa sion. Mr. Salomons very justly says that he is already protected by the annual Indemnity Bill from the effects of not signing that declaration, and that without that protection he could not be permitted to act—not as Sheriff of London only—but as a member of the Common Council. But it is notorious, that' the annual Indemnity Bill has always been considered sufficient for its avowed purpose. We believe the very objector to Mr. Salomons, • Mr. Alderman Brown, was himself protected by it from exclusion . from the Court of Aldermen previously to the passing of the Test Abolition Act. With regard to the national question involved in Mr. Salomons' ad dress, we need not say how fully we concur with it. We cordially join him in urging the earliest applica tion to the Legislature " to prevail on Parliament to cure an anomaly by which, British subjects, enjoying the respect and good opinion of their fellow-citizens, desirous to take on themselves the duties of office, and willing to take every ,oath which the good and safety of the State may require, are excluded from the benefits of the Constitution, and denied those invaluable pri vileges, based on the principles of civil and religious liberty, which ought to be the birth-right of every Englishman." Considering the conspicuous part which the Morning Advertiser has always taken in advocating the emancipation of our Hebrew fellow citizens, from the disgraceful bonds which now fetter their privileges and contract their exertions, we may spare a detail of the arguments which we have so often repeated. We Shall, however, return to their consi deration whenever we see occasion for benefiting and advancing a cause identical with civil and religious liberty. We shall be at our posts in maintaining that battle as soon as the Legislature meets whether baffled or successful—but always having Percy's en couraging battle-cry, " speranza" for our motto. — Morning Advertiser. The question at issue between the United States of America and France, when stripped of the compli cations with which a crooked and dishonest diplomacy has surrounded it, liei in a very narrow compass. It is, when reduced to its real merits—when pared of all garnish and bombast—a mere creditor and debtor transaction, with an account stated on the one side —a promise to pay on the other, and a violation of that promise upon payment being called for. If a war should arise out of this question, all the re sponsibility of that war must fall upon the Govern ment of France—the justice of the case is with Ame rica. Let us see what are the simple facts. When the revolution of " the barricades" and the simplicity of Lafayette had raised the son of Egalite to the throne, under the title of Louis Phillippe, America applied to France for the settlement of an old pecu niary claim, which had been pressed without effect upon preceding Governments. The demand led to much negotiation, and at length the French Go vernment offered a sum in full of all demands, which America refused to accept. This led to new nego tiations, which were carried on during a space of nearly three year;, and of which it is only necessary to know the result, in order to understand on which side Justice will draw the sword in case of a war between France and America. That result was a recognition by the French Government and the French Chambers of a sum of twenty- five millions of francs being due !o America—but, upon America demanding the sum thus acknowledged to be due to her (which is consi derably short of the original demand), the French Government refuses to pay. It is true the Gover9-. ment of Louis Phillippe, though withholding the pay ment of this just debt, in fact, does still make a con ditional promise of payment, the condition being that the President of the United States shall withdraw, or apologise for some expressions " offensive to the dig nity of France," which lie used during the protracted negocietions on the claim, in consequence of the shuf fling and dishonest tricks practised by Louis Phillippe's Cabinet. The legality of the debt being established, what right, we ask, has France to annex any condi tions to the payment ? Let her pay the debt first, and then settle the point of " national honour" after wards. It i,s a strange way of vindicating the national honour, to refuse the payment of a just debt: If a man in private life so attempted to, vindicate his honour, his conduct would be considered very shabby and dishonourable. Suppose a debtor to say to his creditor, " I acknowledge I owe you 1,0001. It was very difficult to make me acknowledge that I owed you any thing. I kept you out of it a sufficiently long time to put your patience and yonr temper to the test ; at last you threatened to have recourse to harsher measures unless I paid ; fear did what honesty could not induce inc to do, and I promised to pay, but at the same time I declare, you shall never have a farthing of your money unless you apologise for your threat,"—what would be thought of a debtor who spoke in this way ? Why, that there was a portion of the fool, but still more of the knave, in his composition. Such is the language which France, the debtor, adopts towards America, the cre ditor. It is language worthy of the political morality of the Doctrinaire Ministers. and their Citizen-King. When the American claim was formerly rejected in the Chamber of Deputies, and before the American President used the threatening expressions, who can doubt that it was rejected by the contrivance of the French Government itself ? Whatever pomp and pa rade of opposition there may be occasionally made in the French Chamber to the will of the King of the Bar ricades, there is no real opposition, at least no effective opposition to the Royal will in that Chamber, and never can be, while France is governed by a mock Re presentative system, which is, in fact, a close Corpora tion. The whole constituency of France, for a nation of 36 - millions of population, does not amount to more than one-third of the electoral body of England under the horoughmongering system, with, including Scot land, not above half the population. Well, the Cham ber of Deputies, which has been ever since the "glo rious days of July" the passive instrument of the arbi trary policy of Louis Philippe, and whichhasgone with him all lengths, even to the adoption of the atrocious Fiesclii laws, in his but too successful endeavours to enslave the country—that Chamber rejected in the first instance the American claims. Why so ?—The Chamber undoubtedly understood it would be agreeable to the Court to do so, or they would not have dared to reject it. Is it to be supposed that the influence of Louis Phillippe was irresistible in the Chamber for all tyrannical purposes, and that the -Chamber only op posed him with effect when he was anxious to do an act ofjustiee? Credal Juderus ! Louis Phillippe had no de sire to do justice, but he wished to shift the responsibi lity of injustice upon the Chamber of Deputies. It is true the chief of the Doctrinaires, the Due de Broglie, with his colleagues, resigned their places pro tempore, knowing that they could step back again whenever they pleased—that resignation was necessary to save appear ances. But the American President was not to be thuS tricked. He did not oppose Louis Phillippe with his own diplomatic weapons. He did not meet trick by trick and chicanery by circumvention. He did not address the Citizen-Despot as our Government did the Northern Autocrat, " with hated breath and whisper ing gentleness." He spoke of the fraud committed upon America in language not to be misunderstood, and denounced the dishonesty of France. The threat brought the Chamber to reason, or rather the Govern ment that inspired the Chamber. After five years of shuffling and evasion the debt was acknowledged, but Louis Phillippe and his Doctrinaire Ministers still wished to stave off the day of payment. The Citizen-King has long had the credit of being rather tenacious of the maxim of " mine ancient Pistol," that " base is the knave that pays ;" but President Jackson seems resolved to make an honest man of him, or to compel him to unfurl the tri-color in a war of petty fogging injustice against a free State, after knocking his forehead in the dust before the Autocrat of Rus sia, and leaving Poland to its fate. The British pub lic are aware that we are no admirers of the democracy of North America, with its myriads of whip-galled slaves, and its barbarous Lynch-club committees of torture and assassination. But in the question now at issue, America has right and justice on her side, and the French Government, while pretending to be sensi tively anxious for the national honour, tramples public faith and common honesty under foot. If General Jackson allows himself to be lulled by a Government which has borne contumely, insults, and kicks, from the destroyer of Poland with exemplary patience and resignation, the stern Republic must, for the future, " hide its diminished head" in the face of the civilised world.—Morning Herald. In another part of our impression will be found three additional versions of the speech delivered by the Em peror of Russia at Warsaw. The one; however, which is deserving of the most attention is that published by the Journal de St. Petersburgh. The Paris Messager des Chambres gives a Polish report of this celebrated address, which differs in every essential particular from the Russian account.' We shall not attempt to recon cile the differences, but for the curious in public docu ments we have thought it our duty to aflbrd every in formation which can throw a light upon the real lan guage used,by the Czar. It is sufficiently obvious that threats were held out; which, under existing eircuth- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1835. stances, had better have been withheld. As we have before observed, the Emperor was indiscreet, but his indiscretion will secure him an increase of popularity in Rnssia, in despite of the strong invectives of the French and English journalists.—Morning Post.

From the New Lo.zdon Price Current. SUGAR. —The Market was heavy all last week, and the esti mated sales only 2,100 hhds. and trs., but the prices were extremely firm, and the purchases were all at extreme prices. The stock of West India Sugar is now 25,107 hhds. and trs., - being 15,414 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 36,336 bags, which is 22,210 less then last year. The delivery of West India last week was 2,278 hhds. and trs., which is 358 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 2,901 bags, being 1,284 more than the corresponding week of 1834. There is no new feature in the sugar Market this afternoon ; the estimated sales for this day are 600 hhds. and trs., at still extreme prices, which could not be realized on Friday, 60s. 6d. low brown Berbice to 675. for fine Jamaica. In Refined there was a further improvement last week, and the goods on show were very limited, and very little disposition among the holders to sell ; fine Crashed 425. There is no alteration in Refined this afternoon ; Lumps to pass the standard 835., and fine Crashed in bond 425., buyers ; very few goods at Market. MAURITIUS.—Thd public sala of Mauritius Sugars last week. 6,727 bags, being the last parcel of old Sugars in the impor ters' hands, went oil heavily at former prices, and in some in stances a few lots mid. brown sold on easier terms.

Average price of Sugar 11. 18s. 7d. per ewt. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-There are no sales of West India Molasses to report. A public sale is advertised for to-morrow. The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware houses for the week ending the 19th Dec., amount to 5,303 cwl. CoFrEE.-There was more business done last week in Bri tish Plantation Coffee at rather higher prices for the best de scriptions. Ceylon sold in cor.siderable parcels at 595. to 595. 6d., but at the close of the week there were no buyers at public sale at 58s. 63. 1,000 bags St. Domingo of fair qua lity sold by private contract at .52i., and at public sale 51s. 6d. t) 525. ; Brazil in parcels by private contract also at 525.

The total deliveries from the warehouses for this week ending 19th December, are 131,1801b5. of West India, and 98,0981b5. of East India. CGcoA.-The total deliveries West India Cocoa from the warehouses for the week ending 19th Dec., are 13,8421b5. IRISH PROVISIONS.-The holders of bath Bacon and Butter know not what to ask for either article, and the prices are merely nominal ; those who arc too diffident to demand exor bitant prices are outdone by adventurers. BUTTER. I BACON. —.. Stocfc: ------ Delivery. Stock. Delivery. 1834 43,000 firks 8,267 firks 6,500 bales 2,500 bales 1835 38,356 7,220 7,460 3,335 The imports of Butter are Irish 9,483 firks. Foreign 260 cks. Bacon 4,421 bales. TALLO v.—There is nothing particularly new in the Tallow Market ; it remains heavy, with a tendency to decline ; the speculators have sold largely for spring delivery again. WooL.—The public sales of Wool last week consisted of 803 bales New South Wales, 53 bales V. D. Land, 319 bales Spanish, and 833 bales other sorts ; they were well attended, and cemmenced with animation at about the same rates as the last public sales. Some good lots of N. S. Wales Wool sold from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 9d. per lb., and others from Is. 4d. to 2s. 6d. ; the V. D. Land Company's Wools were fine in the hair, but badly got uy, they sold Is. 91d. to 2s. 6d. ; some part of the N. S. Wales and V. D. Land Wools were very much damaged, so much so that 3d. and 6d. was all that could bo obtained. The German Lambs and Skin Wools sold at good prices, German Lambs 2s. Id. to 2s. 10d. ; ditto Skin, ls. 7d. to 2s. 4d. Of the Spanish only the two first marks were sold at 2s. 51d. to 2s. 61d. ; the other marks not landed. INDIGO.—The letters from Calcutta this morning are to the 15th August; they state heavy rains, but unattended,with unattended with storms of wind, which usually occasions the great devastations; the accounts of the crops are rather fa vourable, the estimates generally are from 115,000 to 120,000 maunds. There is little alteration in this market; the delive ries from the warehouses continue extensive, 1,093 chests up to this period, which is a great delivery for December. There are no further declarations of sale for the 19th January. The total deWeries of East India Indigo from the warehouses for the week ending 19th December are 31,980 lbs. TEA.—The total deliveries of Tea from the warehouses, on which duty has been paid, for the week ending 19th Dec. are 630,602 lbs. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDE.--Towards the close of last week the demand for Leeward Island Rum became animated, and extensive transactions were reported, chiefly proof Leewards at about 2s. 2d., at which rate it is now difficult to purchase; the chief request is for parcels suitable for the navy, as a contract was expected to appear to-morro w , w hi c h would be followed by another in quick succession ; there is little left now in first hands, the quantity . is supposed to be about 500 puns. We understand there will be great altera tions in the mode of conducting government contracts, they will be simplified and greatly lessened in expense to the trade, parcels will be sent in, gauged by the officers of government, and the amount paid for according tto the strength. Brandy continues in a very depressed state, and may be purchased 2d. lower than the late highest point. In Geneva there is no al teration. One parcel of Leewards, 1 under proof, sold this afternoon, ord. quality at 2s. 2d. OILS.—The news brought by the Duiicombe, one of the Straits ships which bad been frozen in by the ice, speaks of the release of six more vessels, and the probability of the remainder getting free, but they bring but little Oil, and very little effect has been produced on the Market prices, as the trade only buy for their immediate wants. Fish Oils arc without alteration, scarcely any business doing in them. At public sale last week about%loo tuns Sperm Oil went off at 701. a 73/. 15s. ; Hcad-matter, 78t. Linseed Oil somewhat stiffer. Rape Oil dnll at the reduced quotations. AHE s.—The market is firm and the prices are looking up. DEVAUX V. SALVADOR. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the Jury returned a verdict for the defen dant, on the ground that the damage was caused by ouli nary wear and tear, and not by peril of the seas. COMMON PLEAS.-MONDAY. DUGDALE V. BROOKBANK. In this action, brought by the plaintiff against the defen dant, a shipowner, to recover compensation for the loss sus tained :on the sale of a quantity of coffee, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 6351.55. sd. INSOLVENT COURT.-MONDAY. A SPORTING WAITER. William Taylor, described as late of Thames-street, waiter, was opposed by Mr. CoolE, on behalf of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., brewers. Mr. WOODROFFE supported the insolvent. He had realised by his industry as a waiter, and by betting on the turf, the sum of 6001. and upwards, and being desirous of taking a house in the sporting line, he applied to Mr. Briant, a clerk in the house of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., who informed him that the Burton Coffee house in Cheapside was to be put up for sale at the Auction Mart, at which sale the insolvent attended on the 10th of June last, when it was knocked down to him at 1,2601., when Mr. Briant immediately gave a cheque for the amount, the insolvent paying down 201. by way of de posit. The prior owner had deposited the lease with Messrs. Whitbread and Co., for a loan of 5701., which the insolvent wished to remain in their hands, upon paying the difference, which they refused to do, and the lot was put up on the 3d of July following, when it fetched only 6601. Being disappointed in the house, the insolvent proceeded on a tour to Dover, Calais, and Brussels, touching at Bou logne, and from thence to London, which cost him in cash one hundred pounds. From London he went to Doncas ter and several places in the North of England. At Don caster he took the field against the favourite, and lost two hundred pounds. His expenses were sixty pounds, and altogether he had got through upwards of five hundred pounds between July and September. Mr. WoonnoF7E—He lost by betting, on the Grand Stand, with three individuals, 2001. He had attended at Epsom, but had not betted. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER adjudged the insolvent to six months' imprisonment from the date of filing his petition. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Yesterday, Robert Balls, a working jeweller, was indicted for forging and uttering a promissory note, for the payment of money, in the Polish language, with intent to defraud Nicholas, King of Poland. The indictment, like the for mer, was contained in a great number of counts. The evi dence adduced on the former trial was on the present occa sion repeated. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE. GUILDHALL Ellis and Ballard, the officers of Bow-street, yesterday attended at this 'office, to prefer complaints against persons at the instance of the Stamp-office, for vending unstamped publications. The cases were clearly proved, and the defence set up was, that they were not,aware they were doing wrong, were very poor, and would not in like manner offend again. Alderman KELLY was of opinion that the Act of Par liament, as regarded those offences, was very strong ; and he regretted that the Stamp-office did not proceed against the fountain head, at once. The printers and publishers, in his opinion, should be the objects of the prosecution, and not the unfortunate men, who retailed them in the streets. The defendants were discharged on the intimation that their names and persons would be known, and that they would be convicted if again brought up. The' officers said that they did not intend in any of the cases against venders to apply for the certificate for 2.05. on the Stamp-office. [We have heard that the Stamp Commissioners are tak ing the opinion of the Attorney-General as to whether the unstamped papers may be seized in trazzsitu from the print ing -office to the publisher's, under the 16th of George 111., which makes persons " carrying about" such papers liable to be seized. There is another question which might be asked—whether persons keeping shops and selling such papers might not be indicted in conjunction with the publisher and printer for conspiring to defraud the re venue ? Perhaps there is one other question which might be put at the same time—whether the proprietor, printer, and publishers of Roebuck's pamphlets might be called upon to account for the number of papers sold since the commencement of the publication (under 38 Geo. 111., c. 27) in, order that the stamp duty thereon may be recovered.] HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday a chubby-looking personage presented himself before the Magistrates to offer himself as bail for a man, who was charged with an assault. Mr. LAING—Are you a housekeeper ? Bail (with a roaring voice)—To be sure, and a leaseholder too. Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live? Bail—ln North road, Islington. Mr. LAING—What are you ? Bail—What am I ? Why, I am a musician. Mr. LAING—What do you mean, do you sell music ? Bail—Why, yes, to be sure, I sells and plays too. Mr. LAlNG—Where do you play ? Bail—l plays any where that they likes to engage me. Mr. LAING—What, instrument do you play upon ? Bail (smiling)—Why, I plays upon various. I plays upon the wiolin, the trumpet, the bassoon, the clarionet, the oboe, the flute, the flageolet, the trombone, the kettle-drum, the fife, and many others. Mr. LAING—Then you are an extraordinary musician to play upon so 'many instruments ? Bail—Why, perhaps I am. Mr. LAING—Are you worth 20/. after all your debts are paid ? Bail (smiling)—l should think so. Mr. LAlNG—Answer, yes or no ? Bail—Yes, to be sure I am. His bail was then accepted, and he quitted the Office. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Charles Pardoe, Noah Flood, and Frederick Thomas, appeared before Messrs. BROUGHTON and GROVE, charged with having in their possession, and carrying about for sale, unstamped newspapers. In consequence of an order issued by the Commissioners of Stamps, Handley and Attfield, two officers of this establishment, obtained authority to apprehend all persons they found offending against the Act of Parliament. Messrs. Wooller. and Robinson were engaged for Thomas ; and a solicitor attended for Flood. Handley saw the defendant on Sunday morning, about eight o'clock, near Shoreditch Church, put a paper under a door. He stopped him, and found thirteen Weekly Times, ten Cleave's Gazettes, and five Twopenny Dis patches in his possession. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did he say whether he was selling them or not ? Handley—No ; but we only charge him with carrying them. Attfield—He said that he only sold thu papers to those who could not afford to pay for stamped papers. The de fendant is a clerk in a respectable house. Mr. BROUGHTON told the defendant that he was not like many who appeared before him, and who pleaded distress as their inducement to sell them. He was liable to a punishment of three months' imprisonment. Handley said that the defendant, he believed, besides his family, had an aged mother to support. But they were instructed to say that they were not to press for a convic tion, and that they (the defendants) must deliver up the papers. In case, however, of a second offence, a convic tion would ensue. The defendant had some stamped papers with him. _ The defendant was sorry for having transgressed the Act, but he had not s ufficient to support himself with. Mr. BROUGHTON asked if there was any one in attend ance from the Stamp Office ? Attfield replied no ; and stated that the cases were left for the Magistrates' decision. Attfield next charged Noah Flood, who had been con victed at Union Hall in a month's imprisonment, with hav ing forty-three unstamped newspapers under different titles, in his possession. He admitted having sold twelve. Wit ness found him in Whitecross-street. The solicitor for the defendant said that a single paper would not sustain the charge of its being a newspaper. Con secutive numbers should be produced. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that the definition of a news paper appeared in its discussing public events. (The Worthy Magistrate here took up Cleave's Gazette.) Here he remarked, referring to the picture, is a white slave starv ing amidst Christians in a land of plenty and splendour, and in another part is a black, a West Indian slave, drinking a pot of porter. That is discussing public events, and constitutes a newspaper, and it was not such by being con tinuous. Frederick Thomas was next charged by Attfield with having twenty-four Weekly Times in his ,possession, in King-street. The defendant said he was going to take them home. . _ Mr. BROUGHTON here remarked that, in his opinion, the most serious consequences would follow the repeal of the Stamp Duties. He considered that the stamped papers were quite as accesible to the public as the unstamped, as while one person might afford to buy an unstamped, three or more could join their money and buy a stamped paper. While the stamp did exist Government ought to check the circulation of the unstamped, as by suffering them it was acting most unjust towards those who 14 embarked an immense capital in the legal journals. Mr. BROUGHTON then said that, as the Stamp-office did not press for a conviction, he would discharge the defen dants. Mr. Robinson addressed the Magistrates, inquiring in that case, ought not the papers be delivered back ? Mr. BROUGHTON, on a letter being handed up to him, by Ballard, a Bow-street officer, and, having read it, said, according to this, they must be sent to -the Stamp-ofice. Attfield stated that they had put the name of the parties they belonged to on each paper, and in case of a second appearance the papers would be brought against them. Flood asked if the officers had the power of laying hold of any parcel he might have on a suspicion against him ? Mr. BROUGHTON said that, in their case, it was similar to one charged with felony. A person having them in their possession was liable to a penalty of 201., whil one assisting to send them anywhere incurred a penalty of 100/. If the officer took him into custody, and he had no unstamped pa pers, the officer was liable to answer. Mr. Wooller said that, as the defendants were discharged, if they detained the papers, they (the officers) were respon sible. The defendants then left the office, minus the papers. MAR YLEB ONE. John Woods was yesterday placed at the bar charged with vending unstamped publications. Webster and Franklin, two officers of this establishment, on the previous morning saw the prisoner offering un stamped papers for sale. They purchased a Weekly Times of him, and then took him into custody with five more in his possession. The prisoner, on promising not to offend in the same manner again, was discharged, Mr. RAWLINSON telling him if he was brought up again on a similar charge he would be convicted. James Barter was next charged by the same '3 fficers with selling unstamped papers, twenty of which were taken from him. The prisoner, in reply, made up his mind before the officers took him not to deal in unstamped publications again, as he could do no good with them. He was also discharged with a caution, and the papers found on both prisoners were detained. WHALE SHIPS IN BAFFIN'S BAY. We are gratified in being enable to communicate some interesting information respecting the whale ships missing, one of which, the Dnncombe, of Hull, arrived off Peter head, on the coast of Aberdeenshire, on Thursday last. The following letter, dated the 17th inst., was received at Lloyd's yesterday morning from a respectable gentleman at Peterhead : Peterhead, Dec. 17. " The Duncombe, of Hull, was off here to-day. The crew are all in good health, but greatly reduced and ex ceedingly weakly. Some of our whale ship Captains took out some fresh provisions to her, which were most thank fully received and gratefully acknowledged. The crew had been put on an allowance of half a pound of bread and a small portion of beef per day. The frost was so intense that they could never get hot diet, the beef freezing as soon as it was boiled. They boiled beef once in three days to save fuel. Several of the crew were frostbitten, but re covered. The Captain (Scoflin), on going up to the crow's nest one time was severely frostbitten and nearly lost his life, but by means of blistering, recovered. " Captain Scoffin reports that he ivas forty days enclosed in the ice. " In the course of that time he drove from lat. 69, 30 deg. to 64 deg., the winds prevailing principally from the north wards. She left the Abram, the Lady Jane, .Dordon, and Grenville Bay, as well as the 2Vinfo/k and Harmony, on the 7th of November, in lat. 64, thirty miles on the iee, and seventy miles from the Westland. They were then driving from nine to twelve miles a day southward. Captain Scoffin expects that the Norfolk, of Berwick, from her position, has got out, and he entertains hopes that the others would continue to drive southward and get clear. " Several of the crews of the lost ships, Mary Frances, Isabella, and Lee, are on board of the left ships ; four of the Mary Frances are on board of the Duncombe. Monstrous to relate, when the Mary Frances was lost, the crew set fire to her and burnt all her provisions, and the crew, as a sort of just retribution, NNere, and some of them are still, doomed to suffer hunger, which might have been partly appeased had they preserved those provisions. " The Dunconibe, while off here, had twenty-two pieces of beef, one cask of pork, and about 16 cwt. of bread left. She was not aware of the four ships off the Westland being detained, until she received the intelligence here. " The Duncombe did not see the other ships after the 7th of November, she got clear of the ice on the 1 I th. She kept working out, making a mile now and then, while the other ships seemed to be lying still. She cut through several miles of thin ice. ""These particulars may be of use to you, at any com muning on the subject. " The four ships at the Westland must be shut up for a season, and there are still great doubts about those at the middle ice getting clear. In any case relief must be sent, to make every possible attempt to liberate them." We stated yesterday that the Duncombe had reached Hull. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The " Scots Woman," a story so admirably told by the lamented Charles Mathews, and which he intro duced into one of his annual entertainments, was first re lated to him by Ballantyne, the eminent printer and Nend of Sir Walter Scott. Ballantyne was himself an admirable mimic. He subsequently introduced Mathews to the old lady herself, who was the origin of the story. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.

Mason, bookseller, West S.raud On Tuesday week the inhabitants of Faversham were enlivened by a very novel sight. A remarkably fine stag took its course directly through the town, closely pur sued by the hounds of Sir E. Dering, Sir Edward himself and a large field following. The noble animal entered th• town near the bottom of West-street, ran to the market, and thence through the broad and open space of Court and Abbey streets to the Standard Quays, where it crossed the Creek, and for a time eluded its pursuers. The hunters went round a considerable distance to the opposite shore, and found the stag grazing in Ham Marshes ; another run ensued, and the animal once more foiled its pursuers by crossing Oare Creek, and proceeding to Harty Ferry. After affording excellent sport, it was ultimately taken in Teyn ham Marshes.—Kentish Observer. (ADVERTISEMENT.)
