SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The Melbourne Ministry has arrived at precisely that stage which more intensely than any other con centrates upon it the whole attention and solicitude of the country. Never had any Government a more fa vourable opportunity than now offers to the present Cabinet, of consolidating its power on the confidence sr the people—and woe to the Ministers—woe to the Monarchy—and woe to the State, if the time of action be allowed to pass without consummating those mea sures of amelioration which the country expects, and which are so essential to the calming of wrong-eogen dered agitation. It is true, and we never suppress truth for the purposes of party, that the general enthu siasm in favour of the Government, evinced by the country in the recent election contcsts, originated more from an abhorrence of Toryism, than from any confidence excited by the former Adminis tration of the Whigs. The Grey Administration did much towards Reform, but had it not wa vered and truckled, and vacillated between oppo sing principles, it not only might have done much more, but be still in possession of office, from which, by intrigue—in conjunction with imbecility on the part of the Court, and apathy—caused by suspicion on the part of the people, they fell with the momen tum of a timid, doubting, and, under the circum stances—a despicable policy. It was the horror of Tory domination, and the hope that the Whigs had seen their errors, and would in future avoid them, by taking a decisive stand on the only safe ground--that is, on the side of Reform and the people—which caused, with a trifling exception, the re-election of every Member called to the Melbourne Cabinet. This Cabinet is now upon its trial—an arduous one per haps, but one where honesty and firmness of purpose, and a bold prosecution of just, extensive, and efficient Reforms to their accomplishment, must secure a ver dict of general approbation and confidence from the country. Lord John Russell has announced in the House of Commons that it is the intention of the Govern. ment to propose in this Session but two measures of ' Reform, namely, that of the Irish Church, and of the Municipal Bodies. This limitation is easily accounted for by the interruption which the business of the Ses sion experienced from the selfish and contumelious conduct of the Peel faction. But the recognition of the principle by Lord John Russell, that the Church had a claim on the State for the repairs and building of its fabrics, has occasioned us no slight degree of surprise and apprehension. We ask thte leader of the House of Commons on what principle eau the Church have any claim on the State for such or any other pur poses, when its revenues are more than sufficient for its own as well as the spiritual wants of its community ? It is not our wish to urge—nay, we deprecate urging, the Government to undue precipitancy in the intro duction of measures ; but we claim, on the part of the people, such an open and unequivocal demonstration of their intended policy as will leave no doubt, nor give room for any suspicion, and which will justify us in continuing to give them, as we have already done, our cordial and energetic support.—Morning Advertiser. The resolutions and public Address of the Reform Association, advertised in the Morning Chronicle of to-day, will inspire the Reformers with new energy and confidence. The impudent and abortive attempts of the Tories to re-gain the government of the coun try, and their " re-action" theory, and Conservative clubs, will only serve ultimately to strengthen the po pular cause. - If the amendment of the representation has not terminated the domination of the Tories, then is Sir Robert Peel a false prophet. From first to last, during the discussion of the Reform Bills, the supple Baronet denounced those great national measures as de structive of political corruption ; or, in his own words, as an alteration of the Constitution utterly inconsistent with Tory ascendancy. Even so late as the political festival in Merchant Tailor's Hall, the repe sentative of Tamworth, to the disgust of the 'Tories, announced to his party that the battle of the contending parties of the State must be fought only in the House of Com mons. Sir Robert Peel admitted that the prerogative of the Crown and the power of the House of Peers was as nothing, compared with the influence gain:2d by tile people in 1832. The ex-Premier has disco vered, and virtually acknowledged, the failure of his recent experiment in taking office. Only one chance, he confessed, remained for the hopeless views of To ryism—viz., an action on the electoral body. It is scarcely three months since Sir Robert Peel, in his degrading address to his Tamworth constituents, pro nounced his confident belief that he could " manage" a new House of Commons ; and even after the sign;7l defeat in the choice of a Speaker, he in!- plored the Commons to tolerate himself as Minister, because he could (as a fourth estate, we presume) en sure " harmonious results" between the two branches of the Legislature. But in the simple and forcible lan guage of the Address . of the Reform Association, " successive majorities in the present House of Commons, have driven the Tories from office." Nothing daunted, however, the " Conservatives" still flatter themselves that they can again triumph over the people I We do not contend that they are powerless. The Reform Bill was far from perfeetin4 the representation. If nomination boroughs were extinguished, counties were closed by the deteriora tion of the constituencies through the enfranchise ment of 501. tenants-at-will, the slaves of open voting. Corrupt freemen still existed, for purposes of intoxica tion and bribery. Self-elected Corporations conti nued to exist, as citadels of Toryism. The law of elections, and the defective tribunal of Election Com mittees of the House of Commons, extended impunity to evil doers.- The abuse of the influence of property still remained to the Tories. The costly expense of election contests, limited the power of the consti tuencies. A long monopoly of magisterial power, vested in the Tories for nearly a century past, and Tory.,lord lieutenancies in the majority of counties, gave them extraordinary advantages. Education has not yet extirpated ignorance ; liberty of con science and freedom of thought have not yet vanquish ed persecution and bigotry. The patronage of the Church was almost exclusively enjoyed by the Tories. Our wonder, therefore, is, that the Reformers have succeeded in thus routing the Tories. The enemes of the people, however, fight well, and appear inclined to die hard ; but though the time of death is uncer tain, nothing is more certain than death. In vain may the Tories put forth fresh articles of political creed ; they will not succeed in their sinister and insane de signs. Ashamed of their old party designation of Tories, they have lately adopted the alias name of " Conservatives." But the people know them, as an acute police-officer recognises an old thief in disguise. The attempted idolatry of Sir Robert Peel will not succeed. This is not the age for political idols. Pitt himself ceases to obtain worshippers in these times. What would the Tories be without the ingenious Baronet ?—what has been his political fate, com mitted as he has been with the Tories as a party ? In fact they have tried hard to take advantage of each other, and would be glad to get asunder, but cannot escape their unhappy connection. Their Conserva tive Clubs and affiliated Associations will do nothing for either. Already, by opposing the tide of public opinion, they have caused a " reaction," which they must bitterly repent. Throughout the country the Reformers, cordially united by the machinations of their common enemies, are forming themselves into political societies as a necessary measure of self-defence. Union was alone wanting to realize the power of the Liberals. This has been forced upon them by the Tories. The Reform Associrtion, this day announced to the kingdom, will powerfully act on the people. Its objects are purely constitutional, and justified by the pro vocations of the Tories. We know, from various sources of information, that the " Conservatives" secretly registered full t w e n ty-fi ve per cent . a ddi t i ona l electors in their county interest during the summer of 1834, while the Reformers were sleeping in deceitful security. Opportunely and decisively the Reform As sociation has come forward to rescue the representation from the usurpation of the Tories. An array of names, unprecedented for political and personal influ ence, already heads the society ; and we predict that it will, in a few days, spread its power from one end of the kingdom to the other. The definite and patriotic object crf the 'Association defies misrepresentation. Toryism will be fought with its own weapons ; it has forged its own fetters. We echo the..emphatic decla, ration of the Address :—" The Reformers throughout the Kingdom are earnestly called upon by the Reform Association, to co-operate with them for the accom plishment of lawful and important purposes.—Morn ing Chronicle. If proofs be wanted by any of our more sceptical readers that the spirit of anarchy is on the wane in England, we beg leave to refer them to an account of a Meeting, or attempted meeting, of the scattered frag ments of the old Birmingham Political Union, the design of which was to revive, if possible, that defunct and to any good purpose save in times of extreme emergency, that needless and dangerous association. Some worthies were for summoning the known leaders of the confederacy to put themselves " at the head of the people"—whether to levy war against the King, and subvert the monarchy, was not openly stated. However, the question being opened, it appeared that discord and rottenness had eaten into the entrails of this vigorous and virtuous league—that large debts had been contracted—that large debts had led the way to liberal defections of the Honourable Members—that trades' unions had waged secret hostilities against the political unions—that the smaller or satellite political unions among the neighbouring villages had followed the promising example of the spendthrift parent, and caught from it the fatal contagion 'of insolvency— that the " committee," that is to say the instigators of the unstable multitude, had by a visitation of supreme justice been left in the lurch by those whom they had seduced from the paths of quiet and profitable industry, and themselves remained saddled with the still unli quidated debts—that Mr. Attwood (he of the de based currency) was sick of it—that Mr. Muntz was sick of it—and Mr. Edmonds sick of it—that all parties were sick of it, and of each other—and that the epidemic sickness had produced a universal mortality, insomuch that they confessed themselves to be one and all dead men ; whence it came to pass, that the effmt to restore the body politic had just the same success as some years ago attended the efforts of medical philo sophers to resuscitate by means of galvanism the natural body—convulsive action, and frightful contor tions of limbs and features, did appear to be effected ; but the vital principle was wanting, the spirit of life had fled irrecoverably, and the corpse fell flat upon the earth. We may hear of Conservative Unions among the industrious classes—nay, they have begun to stir —and we do hope and trust that they will be hailed as brethren by, and intimately incorporated with, the Conservatives of higher rank throughout the kingdoM, so as to constitute one compact and impenetrable bar rier against the inroads of revolution ; but for Political Unions, incited by quacks and incendiaries—or Trades' Unions, robbed and laughed at by their own knavish pursebearers—of such, with God's blessing, there is an end for the present generation.—Times. The Tories are first-rate performers in the art of making false pretences. If we did not recollect the annals of their Nomination Boroughs, we should con sider them the most jealous guardians of the Repre sentation. Lord John Russell is defeated in the Devon election by political Parsons and the Tory Aristocracy. As the Ministerial Leader of the House of Commons, it was indispensable that lie should be forthwith a Member of that branch of the Legislature. Colonel Fox, with the consent of his numerous unbought and independent constituents of Stroud, honourably resigned his seat for the ge nerous and avowed purpose of the return of Lord John Russell. The electors accept the new candi date without opposition. Immediately the Tories, who had predicted his defeat, impute corrupt mo tives to Colonel Fox, although the resignation of his seat was a natural result of political and personal connection with Lord John Russell. A few days since Lord Pahnerston is denounced in the Commons, because, as a member of the Cabinet, he is without a seat in either House of Parliament. Mr. Kennedy, one of the representatives of Tiverton, accepts the Chiltern Hundreds; Lord Palmerston is invited by the electors of Tiverton to replace him. Forthwith the Tories propagate the falsehood that Mr. Kennedy !tee the consideration of a Chief Judgeship in the - East Indies. Now, the fact is, the retirement of Mr. Kennedy leas been the subject of public anticipation for some weeks, and it is further well known that his constituency proffered their confidence to Lord John Russell, previous to the return of that Minister fot- Stroud. As an explosion of all these Tory ru mours, we direct attention to the retiring ad dress of Mr. Kennedy, and to the manly de claration of Colonel Chichester .(a former can didate for Tiverton) that he will not contest the Borough against Lord Palmerston. We should have thought that the Tories, for decency's sake, would have avoided any discussion on the subject of the re presentation of Tiverton. Memorable and notorious is the history of the corporation and borough proprie torship of Tiverton. Both seats, till the English Re form Act of 1832, were the pocket-pieces of Lord Harrowby. The Corporation—a self elect few—were the creatures and mere tools of the " Patron." Old field, in his Representative History, states the then number of voters to be 24, the franchise being the ex clusive monopoly of the slavish corporators. He says, " This select body arc all under the influence of the Earl of Harrowby, who nominates both 'Mem bers ;" and that " the late Sir John Duntz had the joint control of the Corporation with his Lordship ; but since his decease the Noble Earl has taken them under his sole patronage." We now turn to the Re port of the Corporation Commissioners, Mr. Henry Roscoe and Mr. Rushton, on the Tiverton Corpora tion and their " Patron :" " The main object of the Corporation of Tiverton, previous to the passing of the Reform Bill, was to preserve the politi cal interest of the patron of the borough ; and thus to obtain either direct pecuniary gain from the appointments procured by the recorder from the Govemment, as in the case of Sir John Duntz, or from the more indirect, but not less valuable, public patronage bestowed on the members of the Corporation and their relatives and connections through the influence of the late noble recorder. _ " Possessing exclusively the right of electing members of Parliament, the Corporation thus found the means of obtain ing many valuable situations, not only in the public service, but also in the Church. For a considerable period several cler gymen were members of the Corporation, and some of them obtained valuable church preferment. In no place we have vi sited do the pernicious effects, arising from the connection be tween a corporation having the right to return Members of Parliament and an influential nobleman as patron of the bo rough, appear to be more clearly displayed than in the borough of Tiverton. The management of the public affairs by the Corporation has neither deserved nor obtained for them the confidence of the inhabitants." The Reform Bills dethroned the Noble Patron, and bereaved the close corporators of their prostituted monopoly of the franchise. Tiverton, by the Parlia mentary returns of 1833, now possessing a constitu of between four and five hundred 10/. electors, is only slightly tainted with its nineteen chartered freemen. At the general election in 1832 and January last, the new constituency returned Mr. Heathcote and Mr. Kennedy, in lieu of the nominees of Dudley Ryder Earl of Harrowby. The exchange we don't doubt, was highly grateful to the inhabitants of Tiverton. Mr. Heathcote, natus ex se, " born of himself," is enobled by his genius in mechanics, and his well-known patents in lace manufacture. He is a resident, employing a large portion of the labouring population ; an independent and intelligent representative, freely chosen, and who honourably seeks to exercise no nomination. We cannot have a more remarkable illustration of mock and real representation, and -we thank the Tories for the subject. The electors of Tiverton are now independent, and we do not doubt will return Lord Palmerston. A liberal local party having thus pro fited by the Reform Bills—measures brought forward by a Cabinet of which Lord Palmerston was a leading member—will have too much sense not to unite toge ther in the choice of the successor of Mr. Kennedy ; especially at a period when the Tories are combining to defeat the ends of Parliamentary Reform. And fur ther, we do not doubt that the Tiverton electors are de sirous of storming the old fortress of their " Patron," the Tiverton Corporation. Municipal Reform is second only in their political estimation to Parliamentary Re form. Lord Palmerston, in his Hampshire contest, distinctly pronounced the most popular opinions on this all important national question, which will not the less recommend him to the electors. They will covet the opportunity of returning to the House of Com mons a representative and member of the present Ca binet who next week will contribute to open, not only the Corporation of Tiverton, but the close municipal SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1835. bodies of all England and Wales. We have this week, with our Parliamentary Papers, received Part 111. of the Appendix of the Reports of the Municipal Com mission, and we shall have more to say on the ap proaching discussion of this subject. Tiverton, with all its corporate impurities, is a small sample of the corrupt system, compared with the revelations of the last volume. We recommend all Reformers to read the Reports on Coventry and Leicester, two corpora tions boldly defended in 1826 and 1828 by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lyndhurst.—Morning Chronicle. The name of Lord Palmerston has been pressed into the service of Aome of those Journals whose in credulity with regard to the Callist successes resists even the evidence afforded by the Court of Madrid itself, of its total incapacity to contend any longer with the forces of Don Carlos, without the aid of foreign intervention. On Tuesday evening a paragraph appeared in certain of those papers, to the effect that Mr. Ricardo, the contractor for the Spanish Loan, had called on Lord Palmerston, with the view of ascer taining, for the information of the public, whether the British Government had received any recent despatches from Spain, which would justify the impression that Don Carlos was likely to overcome the Queen's forces. We need not go through the details of the statement —the upshot was, as it has gone forth to the world, that Lord Palmerston assured Mr. RiCardo that the despatches received by the Government did not con tain a syllable which went to corroborate those idle ru mours. On the contrary, his Lordship was assured that the Queen's cause was, to all appearance, " as triumph ant now as it had been for several weeks." Is it possi ble that such a statement could have been made by a Minister of the Crown, with a view of operating upon the funds, at a time when the flag of distress is hoisted by the Government of Madrid—at a time when the Queen's Generals, shut up in fortresses, dare not meet the enemy in the field, and the Carlist Commander-in- Chief, having routed the army of Valdez, excites by his successful progress, terror and consternation in the capital itself ? It is true Lard Palmerston might say in a sarcastic way that the Queen's cause was to all appearance as triumphant now as it had been for se veral weeks, because for several weeks it has been in a very deplorable state ; but it is only decent and be coming in a Minister to be serious on such occasions. It was no time for a joke ; the deception that has been practised with regard to Spanish affairs has been the ruin of many. Neither the Arigna Mining affair, nor any bubble of 1826, has been more artfully blown, nor has more wofully burst. We agree with those who say that " an atrocious scheme of plunder has been perpetrated," and that none ought to pay without first inquiring how it is that they have been so egregiously duped ?—Morning Herald. We are no friends to the requisition of pledges from candidates on the hustings. The country is not so devoid of men of character, nor are the means of access to the political history and proceedings of English gen tlemen in active life so small, as to leave a body of constituents at the mercy of any hasty information, or . sudden and compulsory assurance, which thel l e4yiae enabled to wring from an anxiousctitatate, by making it the price at which they t,, rid er him their support. Prudence and duty alike suggest to the electors a timely consideration of the claiih s of public men to their confi dence, and must imprese' e pon them the value of obtain ing such a previous knewledge of thoso who would best suit them for theirrepreSentatives, as must Supersede any necessity for resorting to the offensive and insecure ex pedient of exacting pledges. He of whom we deem it necessary to demand a pledge that he will pursue a cer tain course of measures, must be one upon whom we can have no reliance that he will not violate his word. IF, however, there were any circumstance which could reconcile us to the exaction of a pledge, or any pledge which we should esteem worth insisting on, that circumstance would be the possibility that our Representative might not be satisfied with voting on particular questions in a different sense from any in which we could concur, but that he might barter away for mercenary objects the entire trust which had been reposed in hini, and in effect disfranchise us, or at least subject our interests to great inconvenience, if not to risk of extensive injury, by an abrupt abandon. ment of his post, and transfer of his services to other quarters. If, for instance, Members who have re commended themselves to particular Constituencies by affecting a warm zeal for their advantage, and by im plied, if not express, engagements to stand by them through all political trials—if such persons have on more than one occasion deserted their post, and turned over the electors who had sent them into Parliament to friends or connexions of their own men in high office—with patronage at their disposal, wherewith richly .to remunerate the obsequiousness of those who have obliged them —if, we say, such things have sometimes hap pened, a case is established which does in our minds afford some grounds of justification for the demand of a pledge, not indeed that a representative will meanly compromise his own sincere conviction on important questions, but that he will not sell his constituents for lucre, and come in as a warming-pan to make over the "goodwill " of the shop which he relinquishes to whom soever will bid him the highest price. We should like to hear whether Colonel Fox would have had the ma jority of the Stroud voters on the last election, if he had then apprised them of his project for handing himself over on so early an occasion to the Ordnance, and their borough 'to a successor who should be a confederate of his own ? It is not enough to say that no injury has been wrought against the borough of Stroud in the minds of its elective body, because they have now chosen the gentleman whom Col. Fox designated as his friend, for in fact the thing came upon them like a thunder clap—they could not help themselves, having no time to prepare for a contest. The question is, would the people of Stroud, or of any other borough, if left to deliberate on the matter, ever think of choosing a can didate who they knew beforehand would expose them to the necessity of a fresh election in the course of two or three months ? It is obvious that they would not, and we therefore condemn the gross unfairness of a transaction the consequences of which were studiously concealed by one of the parties from the other, for fear of that other running restive. So, with regard to Tiverton, where, if Mr. Kennedy has not turned his back upon himself (of which we are far from accusing him), he certainly has upon his constituents. This learned O'Connellite vacates in favour, as it is under stood, of Lord Palmerston—behaving to the electors of that Devonshire borough pretty much a la Renard. The rumour has been circulated for some days that Mr. Kennedy, in place of representing Tiverton gratis, was to be paid some thousand pounds a year for representing the magisterial authorities of the India House at Madras, though it is possible the arrangement may cost a dozen or two more of protocols before it can be completed. It is now indeed as stiffly denied by the Ministerial press,. as was Colonel Fox's Canada Commissionership, and perhaps the payment may be in sovereigns rather than rupees ; but the main point for the country, and the only one of any substantial interest, is, whether the t m i o b n e a r l p f o u r r s T e v f e o r r t o h n a v g m e g t a a t ny th c e om ex p p e e n n s s a e tio o n f fm r r e o tirin th g e na me his constituents, given Lord Palmerston the much wanted chance of sneaking up to the Treasury Bench somehow or other. If Mr. Kennedy gets any lucra tive office, it is all-sufficient for our doctrine, and the merit of the King of England's Ministers in providing for this personage will have been awfully aggravated by the circumstance that, except the tail of the Irish Agitator, he, Mr. Kennedy, was the only British member of Parliament who voted for separating Ire land from Great Britain. Such cases, we repeat, as those of Stroud and Tiverton are enough to justify the demand of pledges, but they are pledges of a dif ferent kind and tendency from those by which our shallow-pated Radical philosophers have been in the habit of torturing their victims.—Times. We can state, upon authority, that the Bishop of London has made a regulation refusing ordination to any per son, however excellent his qualifications and testimonials, who has exceeded the age of thirty ! 1 It is full time that the sic volo sic jubeo system, exercised by Bishops, should be better regulated by Parliamentary interference. THE THREE JEWS.—On Saturday afternoon, the Royal-square and adjacent streets were crowded to witness the exhibition of these convicted utterers of forged notes in the pillory, pumapt to a part of their sentence.-. Jersey Argun. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. THEOPHILUS JEVES. Mr. R. N. CLARKE showed cause against a rule for a mandamus to be directed to the defendant, as Treasurer of Northampton, to pay two sums of money, claimed on ac count of the expenses of a prosecution for a riot arising out of the last election but one in that town, and ordered to be paid by the Learned Judge before whom the indictment was tried. One of the sums was for money due for the expenses of the prosecutor, the other for the expenses of witnesses. The first was clearly not recoverable, as the Act (7th Geo. IV., c. 64, sec. 23) under which it was claimed, gave it only to prosecutors who should appear be fore any Court on recognizance to prosecute. Now here the prosecutor was under recognizances to appear and pro secute at the Sessions, but he prosecuted at the Assizes, where he was clearly under no recognizance to prosecute, and consequently had not brought himself within the words of the Act. This case, too, was not one for a mandamus, for the Treasurer was only an inferior officer, to whom this Court would not direct a mandamus. He might be pro ceeded against by indictment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the Rule.—Rule discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HO USE. A Jew, named Bonseca, was yesterday charged with having followed a gentleman, and endeavoured to rob him. A policeman observed the prisoner and another man at tempt to pick the pockets of several gentlemen. In one Instance the prisoner contrived to whip out a pocket hand kerchief, and handed it to his companion, who ran away under the bellies of the horses, and escaped. When the prisoner was apprehended, a respectable deaf and dumb man at once recognized him as a formidable chiracter. The deaf and dumb man signified, upon paper, to the Lord Mayor, that the prisoner and another Jew were constantly following him about, and he knew from instinct that they intended to rob him. The prisoner said that it was all a lie. Policeman—He is a common thief. I have known him this long time. When I spoke to him, he threatened to crack my skull. The LORD MAYOR—I shall send you to Bridwell for three months. Prisoner—Any thing is agreeable in these hard times. The LORD MAYOR—You shall be hard worked, and your health shall be preserved by a very temperate diet. Prisoner—l thank you, my Lard. Can you do any more for me ? The LORD MAYOR—I'II do more for you if you, and I meet again. But I advise you not to throw yourself in my way. Prisoner—lt seems that you intend to provide against that, my Lord, by locking me up. The LORD MAYOR—For three months we must part. Take him away,officer.—The prisoner was then committed. John Jeremy was charged with having committed an as sault upon John Smith and his daughter. The eyes of father and daughter bore the marks of violent blows. The complainant said that on Saturday night he and the defendant had some words and they stripped to fight. After the interchange of a few hard blows they tumbled down to gether on the floor, the defendant being under. At that moment the clock struck twelve, and although witness had the best of the battle, he proposed to his antagonist to post pone the contest till Monday morning, that it might not be ;aid tiOlated the Sabbath.—( A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR thought that a person who had such a veneration for the Sabbath might be expected to exercise the Christian feeling of abstaining from the conflict alto gether. The complainant said that the quarrel was a severe one, and he thought it no harm to renew the fight when the Sab bath was over ; bnt he kept a quiet and sober house, and it would be a scandal to have a disturbance in it on the Lord's Day. Well, the defendant consented to stop, and up they got, and witness's daughter addressed some angry words to the defendant, who retaliated by " bulging" her eye, and, no doubt, expecting to get something in return, flung his fist into Witness's eye also. It was for this violent breach of contract the charge was made. The defendant declared that the complainant never said a word about the Sabbath until he found that he was getting the worst of the fight, when he suddenly cried out, " Jack, it is Sunday, and we ought to wait till Monday." He (defendant) did not think it quite right to abuse the Sab bath, and, although the stronger man, acquiesced in the proposal. At that instant, however, the daughter entered, and then the complainant, presuming upon such an addition to his side of the question, renewed operations, and the two black eyes were the consequence. The LORD MAvon said that a case had been made out to induce him to bind over the two men to keep the peace towards each other, and the rest of his Majesty's subjects. It appeared that they were accustomed to pugilistic efforts, and he should endeavour, if not to check the propensity, at least to secure others, as well as themselves, from injury at their hands. Q BEEN-SQ UARE. Yesterday a very well-dressed man, of remarkably gen teel appearance, was brouAt up in custody by a sergeant of the A division, and charged before Mr. 13URRELL under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of police sergeant Stewart that yesterday morning, as the Dukes of Cambridge, Wel lington; and Gordon, were inspecting detachments from the three Regiments of Guards on the parade in front of the Horse Guards, the prisoner broke through the guard appointed to keep the ground, and advanced towards the spot where the Duke of Wellington and several other of ficers were stationed, brandishing an umbrella in his hand, and vociferating in the most outrageous manner. Mr. BURRELL—Who, and what are you ? Prisoner— ' am the Alpha and Omega, and am favoured with a di vine mission. . . -...—.-... Mr. BURRELL—But I wish to ascertain your Christian and surname ? Prisoner—William Stafford, related to the illustrious house of Stafford, and am a lineal descendant of the ancient Kings of Saxony. Mr. BURRELL—WeII, Sir, you must find sureties to keep the peace for the future. He was then removed to the lock-up cell, and shortly afterwards despatched a letter, written in the most inco herent style, to the Archbishop of Canterbury, stating that " a stranger in the land inherited by his fathers had been unjustly deprived of his liberty merely because he went to hear the band in the Park." Several Greek characters were affixed to this epistle, but the Archbishop not return ing answer, the prisoner was sent to Tothill-fields. He is understood to be very respectably connected. Yesterday a very' respectable-looking man, who gave his name as Mr. Chumleigh, coal-merchant, of Marchmont street, was placed at the bar, charged with having abstracted a sovereign from the pockets of the complainant, who de scribed himself as the " Boots" at the Old White Horse Cellar. The complainant bad been to see the horsemanship at Astley's Theatre, and in the " scrimmage " he felt a hand in his pocket, which was turned inside out in a " jiffy." He kept his eyes on the prisoner, who bolted into the theatre, and he '° knabbed" him along with his pals in the ring. The prisoner and his friends had been dining together, and afterwards adjourned to the Theatre. They had not been long in the pit, and were laughing at something that had occurred, when the complainant came up, and saying that he would make them laugh on the other side of their mouths, accused him of robbery, and struck him a violent blow in the face. He then gave him in charge, and at the police station the complainant accused him of robbing him of a sovereign. He believed he had not lost one, but merely came in drunk to create a disturbance. He had several respectable men present to vouch for his character, if necessary. This evidence was confirmed by Goding, one of the officers at Astley's. The MAGISTRATE inquired of Goding why, in this case, his name appeared on the sheet as having given the pri soner in charge ? Goding—lt was only meant as a form your Worship. Mr. WHITE—OnIy meant as a form ! Is a man to be imprisoned because you choose to sign your name for form's sake ? Goding—When we arrived at the station-house, the Inspector would not take the charge of assault, as no one saw it committed ; but as complainant persisted in charging prisoner with robbing him, that charge was entered in the books. - The MAGISTRATE said the charge was evidently without the slightest foundation, and regretted exceedingly that Mr. Chumleigh had been confined upon so groundless an ac cusation. Mr. Chumleigh was then discharged, and the com plainant Stevens having changed places with him, was charged with the assault. The same evidence was adduced as in the previous case, and Stevens was adjudicated to pay the sum of 40s. and in default of payment was committed to the House of Correction. - HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Eliza Cousins, aged 20, of handsome person, having the manners and appearance of a country girl, was brought up for final examination, charged by Mr. Hugh Mason, proprietor of the Little Bell, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, with having stolen a ten-pound Bank of England note. Sergeant Wilson said that the prisoner had been tried be fore at the Old Bailey, on a charge of robbery. Mr. LAING (to the prisoner)----How long ago is it since you were tried at the Old Bailey ? - Prisoner (smiling)— In January last. Mr. LAING—How often have you been tried ? Prisoner -:-Never but once. _ _ Mr. LAWG-I am afraid that you have been tried too often. He referred to the Arewgate Calender, and found her name as having been indicted for stealing a watch, the property of Robt. Tegg. Sergeant Wilson stated that a young man (Tegg) of considerable property, paid his addresses to her, and the day they were to be married she robbed him of his watch and other property, and absconded. The prisoner laughed. She was, however, acquitted for want of evidence. Mrs. Cox deposed that on the night of the robbery the prisoner called at her house and took a lodging. She was then dressed moderately, and she requested witness to get her change for a 10/. note. On the following day, she dressed herself most splendidly, and exhibited money. The porter at the Bell Inn coach office, Snow-hill, proved that the prisoner called at the office to book herself for Li verpool on Saturday evening week, and offered a 10/. note, but the office was closed and she left. Mr. LAING asked her what she had to say? Prisoner --(smiling, and with great levity).—Oh ! Nothing at present. Mr. LAING said that that very answer convinced him that she had been before in custody. She was then fully committed to Newgate for trial. • Waddington, the gaoler, said the prisoner did not care for it, as she was anxious to emigrate. On Monday evening, Wm. Crane, James Rae, Charlotte Stringer, Charlotte Brignal, and Mary Baldwin, were brought to this office in the custody of Sergeants Thorn ton and Wilson, of E division, charged by John Griffin, Esq., of No. 21, Bedford-place, Russell-square, on suspi cion of having been concerned in stealing a valuable ser vice of plate. All the prisoners denied the robbery. Mr. LAING thought there was sufficient to warrant him in detaining Crane, who was accordingly remanded for one week. The other prisoners were discharged, but were bound to be forthcoming at the next examination. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Bates and John Hamilton, a couple of low-look ing fellows, were yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, for having created an obstruction in one of the courts leading to Leicester-square. A gentleman, named Godwin, stated that at about eight o'clock the last evening his attention was attracted by a large crowd, which had assembled round the defendants in a narrow thoroughfore, listening to a song which they were singing. He stopped and heard a verse or two of the song, and considering it not only to be, from its indecency, an of fence against public morals, but also of a seditious tendency, he called a policeman, and gave the men into custody. A number of the songs in question were handed to the Magistrate. They were evidently the production of some illiterate mind overflowing with ruffianly obscenity. The following is a specimen of the sort of rubbish which consti tutes the staple of the doggerel : " Here comes I, Dan O'Connell, I'm the son of old Hibernia, I don't like the Parsons, the Bishops, and the Whigs ; I'll put the Parsons in the lurch, and gibbet them upon the Chr.rch, I'll massacre the Tories, and burn the - Whigs." 1:i Mr. CONANT said the song was of a most scandalous character, and it was highly improper, as well as indecent, to sing such songs in the public streets. For creating a crowd, and thereby causing an obstruction in a public tho roughfare, he should direct both the defendants to find bail. John Conolly and John Graham, a brace of worthies belonging to that almost extinct class of the " unwashed," known as " flying dustmen," were charged with having stolen a quantity of dust and ashes from the house of Lord Grosvenor. Mr. CONANT—WeII, prisoners, what have you to say in defence Conolly (looking pathetic)—Humbly axes par don, but on the vord of a man this here's the werry first time as ever I've bad the honor to be cotched in sitch a worry disgraceful perdickity. I ain't followed the dusting line more than a reek at furdest, and that only kause my perfession of chimbly sveep has been reglur stash'd ever since the new Hact, and as my poor vile and seven blessed babbies ver all on 'em singing out like blazes for wittles, I thought I'd jest get a bit o' dust cause I know'd as nobody didn't contract in them parts. Graham—Your Vership, I hope you'll look over my crime this here vonce, and I'll give you my honor as a man as I'll never ax nobody never no more for no dust. Mr. CONANT finding the case clearly proved, inflicted the fine (according to the Act) of 101. each, or ten days' im prisonment. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Elizabeth Marlton, a tawdy-dressed middle aged female, was brought before Mr. IlAanwicx, on a warrant, charging her with assaulting Mary Ann Davenport. The complainant, a very good-looking young woman, stated that James Green, a master chimney-sweep, bad, with the consent of her parents, courted her for some months past, and matters were so arranged that the banns were published in Bethnal-green Church, their names regu larly called on three different Sundays, and they were to have been married on Monday next. At the earnest re quest of her intended husband, and with the consent of her parents, ,she went on Wednesday last to the house of Green, to assist in cleaning it up, and preparing it to receive their friends on the wedding-day. On the next day (Thursday) the defendant called at the house, and without the slightest provocation on her (complainant's) part, flew at her like a tigress, assaulted her in a most vio lent manner, and finally bundled her into the street. Mr. Hattowick—What was her motive for doing all this? Complainant—Why, Sir, though a married woman, she has lived with Mr. Green for some time, and I suppose she did not wish that I should be married to him. Mr. HARDWICK—Have you any witness to the assault? Complainant—No, Sir, but my mother is outside, who saw my clothes torn, and can tell you all about it. The mother of the complainant was then called in, and being sworn, gave a most minute history of Mr. Green's having invited her and her husband to tea and supper, and making a formal proposal for her daughter. The husband of the defendant, a respectable-looking man, a master baker, next came forward, and said that six years ago his wife had eloped from his house with Green, sweep, and lived with him from that time until about two months since, when witness agreed to take her back again. She accordingly came back to his house, but at the same time made a solemn promise to hold no further intercourse or communication with the sweep. This, however, she soon forgot ; for, on the day on which the assault. was com mitted on the complainant, she again absconded from his house, and had not since returned, but remained with Green. The defendant merely went to the house of Green for a small box, which she had left behind her ; and she had scarcely put her foot over the threshold, than the com plainant became very " bounceable," and ultimately struck her with a poker ; so that anything she (defendant) did, was in self-defence. _ The complainant denied this, and was so unnerved at the appearance of the defendant, that she could scarcely stir hand or foot. The MAGISTRATES inquired if Green the sweep was in attendance ; and being answered in the affirmative, they desired him to be brought before them. Green, who is diminutive and bandy, and the reverse of prepossessing in his appearance, was brought into the Jus tice-room by Shelswell, the officer. He admitted making a formal promise of marriage to the complainant, and con senting to the banns being published ; but still, he said, his affection for Mrs. Marlton, the defendant, was so great, that Ale could not fulfil his promise. The MAGISTRATES severely censured him, for having trifled so with the feelings of the young woman ; and after much crimination and re-crimination between the parties, defendant was convicted in the penalty of 40s. for the assault. SCANDINAVIAN MYTHOLOGY. (From Frithiof's Saga; or the Legend of Frithiof. By Esaias Tegner. ) The great Gods, the Dii majorum pentium of the Scandina vians were termed Asas : their abode, Asa-gard. Odin is the supreme God, the Jupiter of the Scandinavians, their great progenitor : he is sometimes called Alfader, as being the Father of all ; and sometimes Valfader (father of the choice), when he presides at the banquets in Valhalla. It may be remarked that the term Alfader is sometimes given to a supreme unknown God, superior even to Odin. Valhalla (hall of the choice) is the name of a palace in the realms of Asa-gard, where the souls of beatified heroes slain in battle, or distinguished by theirValour, are received. They partake of the table and the delights of the Asas. The guests of Valhalla are termed the Einherier. _ Valkyries is the name given to the celestial virgins, who attend the fields of battle, in order to bear off the souls of the slain warriors to Valhalla. A natural death, called Death on the Straw ( Stradoed), was looked upon as ignominious; and the Scandinavian warriors, in order to avoid it, when they could not die in battle, and found their end approaching by old age or sickness, inflicted on themselves a voluntary death by opening their veins; and this was called "cutting runes to Odin." By this they thought to avoid falling into the hands of Hela. Hela is the Goddess of Death and of the shades below, who dwells in Niffelheim, abode of eternal cold, damp, and horror; where the souls of the cowardly and worthless are doomed to pine. Hela is usually termed the pale-blue (bled-bla) from her ghastly livid colour ; and she is frightful and appalling to behold. Etymology hehlen (Teutonic verb) to conceal. The etymology of Niffelheim is heim, abode ; and Niffel, cloud, vapour, damp. The Gods, Spirits, or Genii of Evil, in the Scandinavian mythology, are called Jotun ; in Swedish, hater, which means Giants. These Giants are in perpetual hostility, not only with the Asas, but with mankind. Their abode is Jotunheim. The part of the universe, over which the Asas have no juris diction, and where the Giants hold sway, is called Utgard : Jotunheim, Niffelheim, &c. are so many departments of pt. gard. The etymology of Utgard is Ut (exclusion; anglice, out) ; and gard (court, canton, or district). Lok is the Sovereign of Utgard : he is the Father of the Giants, the Supreme Genius of Evil, the Satan and Aeriman of the Gothic mythology. Etymology: Sviedisi`t (to tempt). Thor is the God of Strength and of Thunder ; he is COo' stantly employed in extirpating crime, and protocting t ie weak : he is, in consequence, in perpetual wa rfare with t Giants, and is the arch enemy of Lok. He is, in Sot, he t Hercules of the Scandinavian mythology , w i t h man y ' of the attributes of Jupiter. He is represented armed with .5 haled mer, called Micelner, gauntlets of steel , an d a belt, cal Megingard. He dwells in Tredvang. Balder, the Son of Odin, may be considered as the ARao of the. Scandinavians, the Sun personified, the Go d of piety, warmth, and light ; the most benevolent among the Asass Je plays the most prominent part in the Gothic mythology. his birth all the trees and plants were enchanted in his favour, except the mistletoe, which by some oversight was omitted. Balder was slain by his twin brother Header, or Hmdur, iv° was born blind, and, who, instigated by Lok, killed his bro ther Balder with an arrow made of the wood of the mistletoe. Balder's death forms a most important epoch in the Northern mythology : from hence dates the entrance of vice, violence? and crime into the world ; and a state of continual warfare in the heavens, on the earth, and beneath the earth, is the cool: quence ; which state is to last until the day of Ragnar ° " called otherwise the " Twilight of the Gods," shall as Then shall Lok unbind Fenris the wolf, who is chained at tbe gate of the abode of Hela : Fenris shall swallow up Odin great battle is to he fought on the plain of Vigrid, between the Asas and the Giants, wherein the latter shall be viot °l l ous. Then shall Surtur, a formidable Giant, with flame el' lected from Muspelheim, the abode of flames, set fire t on, w e universe ; and in this general conflagration, Asas, of the whole creation, in fact, are to perish , with the ex ce p t Vidar. Vidar. A new creation is then to take place under the 11,4' pices of Vidar, after the fire of Surtur shall be exti n g uiabe l Vidar is destined to resuscitate and regenerate the Asas 113 ,, the human race, and to conduct them to their new oo°` - ' where eternal peace and happiness are to reign. Balder is often termed by the poets " the Fair," the " bright-hair'd God." Nanna is the wife of Balder renowned for her piety a ll constancy. of Frey is the God of Liberty and Joy ; he unites soole.,te the attributes of Apollo with those of Bacchus. His 11."-ss Frey (free) denotes his element. He represent s the 50°,120 the winter solstice ; so did Bacchus , if I mistake not, and too was called " Laser." Frea is the Goddess of Beauty , Love , and Pleasure. !b !bee is, in fact, the Venus of the Scandinavian mythology. RA husband was Oder, whom she once lost , and we nt in search — but never found. of Frigga is the wife of Odin ; she unites some attributes Juno with those of Ceres. Etym. fri (free), ge (give), fi l° her bounty and liberality. Brage is the God of Song. Mimer is the God of Eloquence. Vidar is the God of Knowledge and of Science : the_ir e : portant part he plays in this mythology I have already 111".' tioned in treating of Balder. Forsete is the son of Balder ; he is the God of Justictrie, till supreme judge of the actions of men : he h o lds his boaoli in his mansion Glitner, near the wave of Urda, the destiny the past. Agir is the God of the Sea, the Neptune of the Seas dinavians. Vaulunder is the Vulcan. Rana, or Ran, is a Giantess, who also holds dominion °lel the sea, and is malevolent. Vala, is the Sybil of L ora G he othic Myt ' holoy. Saga, which means l tradition sayi g ng, or leg end lc sometimes personified as an allegorical divinity.
