SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Commission for exercising the functions of the Great Seal has excited the surf rise and indignation• of the profession and of the public. The complaint has no reference to the personal competency of the Conaniss:.eners, who are, all three, men perfectly qua- lifted for th 2 :lutiei assigned to them : bu: the question is every where asked, why arc the Judges of two Courts, which ought to be sitting coneutrentiv, to be withdrawn from their own offices ? Does the new Cabinet mean to imply that the offices of Master of the Rolls and Vice-Chancellor are sinecures, and ought to be abolished ; or does it admit the necessity of those jurisdictions, and at the' same time sanction the non-performance of their duties? It is quite clear that Sir C. Pepe s and Sir L. Shadwell must, in the strange position in which they are placed, either neglect the business of their own Courts, or that of the High Court of Chancery, unless it is to be con tended that Mr. Justice Bosanquet, a common law Judge, is competent to act as sole Commissioner. The whole affair is inconceivable. Some, indeed, think that Lord Brougham has suggested this notable expe dient in oecier to pave the way to his resumption of the Seals ; but surely Lord Melbourne has too much sagacity to be a mere puppet. Others consider it as only one among a thousand instances of the bungling, clumsy, and unworkmanlike manner in which Whigs are accustomed to execute whatever they take in hand. Even their own friends—even their hack partisans— are exclaiming against the arrangement.—Times. We find from our Exeter correspondent that the 'reties, and more particularly the Parsons, are carrying : , their opposition to Lord John Russell to a most un warrantable extent. We trust, however, they will be foiled by the spirit of the Devon yeomanry. If they tle.ink they can by their heavy subscriptions bear down the Reformers, they will find themselves mistaken. We find from the letter of our Liverpool correspondent that the Reformers of that wealthy city are emulating their brethren of Manchester, who have subscribed 1,0001. towards the expenses of Lord jolui. Liberal sub scriptions may also be counted on from Liverp;,eol. We observe that our Exeter correspondent dwells on trite. necessity of funds to counteract the subscriptions of the Tories. We trust that Reformers will not be less liberal than Tories in a case like this. Lord John is now fighting the battle of the people in South Devon. The 1 oriel are attacking Reform in attacking Lord John, to whose exertions we are so much in debted for the expulsion of a Ministry hostile to the best interests of the people. There have been two great meetings of the Devonshire electors, one at New ton on Wednesday, and the other at Plymouth on Thursday last, at both of which able addresses were delivered by Lord Ebrington. An outline of his Lord ship's speech at Plymouth will be found in another part of our paper.—Morning Chronicle. It gives us great pleasure to learn that the Re formers in North Essex have determined to rescue, if possible, that important division of a metropolitan county from the disgrace of Tory domination. The Tories, indeed, consider this their stronghold ; but we trust Essex is doomed to share the fate' of many of their holds. The Reformers have, we learn, invited Mr. Disney, the Liberal Chairman of the Essex Ses sions, to come forward as a candidate, who has re sponded to the call, and a handsome subscription has been raised to support him in the struggle. Indepen dently of the cause, Mr. Payne Elwes, the Tory nominee, ought not to be allowed to represent a me tropolitan county like Essex. Mr. Disney has through life been an advocate of liberal and constitutional prin ciples, and he has always been associated with, and shared the exertions of Mr., now Lord Western, the Lennards, and other distinguished Reformers. This is the day of nomination, and the election is fixed for Wednesday and Thursday next. We trust' that the Reformers of North Essex will do their duty on this important occasion. The Tories ought not to be al lowed to gain a victory which would perpetuate the dsgrace of North Essex.—Morning Chronicle. The Whig Corporation of Nottingham has re elected Sir John Cam Hobhouse—the rejected of the open and liberal borough of Westminster—as its Re ' presentative. The Whigs,,or rather the Whig-Radi cals, as we must call the party now in power, to distin guish the Russell from the Stanley Whigs, have -no objection to the exercise of Corporation influence, ex-; cept when it is opposed to themselves. Thus the same sort of influence which is virtuous, honest, and Consti tutional when employed by the Whig Corporations of Nottingham or Portsmouth, becomes an intolerable nuisance—a gross illegality at which the fastidious consciences of Whig-Radicals revolt when put in mo tion by the Conservative Corporations of Leicester, or Norwich. So much for the difference between Whig pretension and fractice.—Morning Herald. We can do little more than recommend to attentive perusal the ample report which appears in another part of our paper of the gratifying and exhilirating pro ceedings at the dinner given at Devonport oil Friday lest to the Right Honourable G. R. Dawson. We do not recollect the record of a festival given in iiononr of any public man to the interest and importance of which so many circumstances. contributed ; and it is no more than justice to the men of - Devonport to say, that the spirit they seem to have evinced upon the - occasion was such as it might naturally have been expected to'proL duce. The aspect of the meeting, and the sentiments which pervaded it, must have convinced the - electors of Devonport that, while listening to the admirable speech of their honoured guest, the voice which they heard y-es of their future Representative. The speech of I. fr. Dawson was entirely worthy of the • exalted • yosition, in which he must have felt himself Caced. It was manly—straightforward—and elo ei lent. Passing by, with brief notice, topics of niere local interest, inviting as some of them were, the Right Hon. Gentleman depicted in the gloomy colours of truth the dangers with which the institu tions of the country, and the happiness and welfare of its inhabitants, are threatened at the present moment, and .clearly and forcibly pointed out the means by hich these dangers may be averted. To Sir E. Cbdrington anti the Admiralty flag there was little dusion, nor are we disposed to deviate from the grace fel example of forbearance and humanity which Mr. Dawson presented, in speaking of his late antagonist.. We only wish that Sir Edward Codrington could have witnessed the scene. It must have ccnvincd even him that his connexion with Devonport is doomed to ter minate with the present Parliament. Mr. Parker, the candidate for the county, in opposition to Lord Jelin huseell, was present, and made an excellent speech. I.lis reception was such as indicated, in a manner not to be mistaken, his complete triumph in the arduous tad important struggle in which be has had the patriotism to embark.—Morning Post. In addition to the election of Sir John Com Hob -1 Ouse, that of the Right Hon. Poulett Thomson for lefanchester is certain beyond the possibility of doubt. A most formidable opposition is got up to him in the ,•rson of Mr. Braidley ; but after the most strenuous Exertions which that gentleman and his party can pos sibly make, we are confident Mr. Thomson will be turned by at least a majority of seven hundred. In a most eloquent, animated, and encouraging speech lehich the Right Hon. Gentleman delivered to his Committee on Wednesday—an accurate report of I Vhiell will be found in another column—he gives n most graphic account of the way in which the opposition to the late Government was conducted 1.1 the House of Commons, and points exultingly, i. 3 he well may, to the triumph with which their leanly tactics were crowned. He then adverts to tee battle between Toryiim and liberty now fight ing in Manchester, and gives the electors this most necessary and important advice—advice which avill not only, we hope, be followed by the Reformers ac; Manchester election, but by those of the county of Devon, of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and in every place whore a struggle takes place between the friends raid foeseof the people. " I feel," said he, " certain of a triumphant issue ; but let no man feel so but him relf. Let no man think the victory secure. Let no man b e lieve that upon his own individual exertions tae victory does not depend. Let no man think that cven one private soldier can be spared froin our army. J..et no man repose upon the deluding notion that we are safe i and that exertion is unnecessary. That we are safe, I cannot say how much it would cost me to _ `~~;, doubt ; but believe me . ,if we have one less of a ma jority than we had befOre, we afford a triumph to our opponents, and we give them an opportunity of steving that the cause of liberal policy here has lost grow A." —Morning Advertiser. THE TITIAN VENUS. We were on Thursday favoured with the inspect:on of this celebrated picture, at the St. James's gallery of paiittings, Pall-mall, and it is certainly a work of supererrogat ion to state that it excited our unalloyed admiration. The figure is recumbent upon a couch, the elbow resting on a pillow that seems but to wait the withdrawal of its exquisitely moulded burthen to spring into its original shape ; the sub ject was, doubtless, adopted con amore by the artist, every line and every tint exhibiting, as well the enthusiasm of the votary, as the skill of the master-it would be imposoilde to point out in what peculiarity excellence has achieve 3 the most, every portion of the entire being in such admirable keeping ; .the case with which the goddess reclines seems contrasted with an elasticity that would lead you momenta rily to expect that she is about to rob her couch of its lovely impress ; but that the lightning of her eye, mingled with and mellowed by the voluptuous glow of maturity, wrapped in sweet contemplation, tells of a delightful day-dream of the imagination, from which it would be torture to wrest it. The' beautiful colour inc, and shading of the luxuriant golden tresses, with which the lovely head is decorated, almost waving into nature, would tempt a second " rape of the lock," save that the sun-embrowned tints of an admirably-moulded neck implores you not to steal from it any portion of its silken. rapery. The shading of the bosom is almost mira culously indistinct ; the eye can scarcely discover where it begins or ends, and vet the bosom heaves full fraught with, and evidently responding to, the thoughts of love that beam betrayal from "the tell-tale eye." We much prefer the ' present exhibition of art to the sleeping Venus of the same great master, for there is a want in the compressed lid and the drooping lash of a Venus that would lead one to wait a lifetime to have it supplied by the unveiling of the eye, which imagination pictures as shrouded beneath them. The back ground of the present piece is so judiciously subdued, that whilst the principal figure is thrown into pro mintnt relief, there is nothing left behind—no effort in the keeping back, which can for an instant create the idea of discordance. In the rear of the couch two of the nymphs of the goddess are busy in the work of preparation for the toilet ; we are, however, so thoroughly engrossed by the fair principal that we cannot say whether beauty or ugliness jg nrevailing characteristic of the attendant ladies of the bedchamber, nor can we even gratify the curiosity of our readers by a description of the attire which Venus considered would add grace to her charms ; we leave them in these respects to see and judge for themselves, as we -understand that the picture will be shortly open to the view of the public. BRUSSELS AND DUTCH PAPERS. BRUSSELS, APRIL 23.—The Queen of the French will re turn to Paris on Tuesday. We believe that we may announce that, by a Ministerial decision, the land-tax will be levied this year on the same footing as in 1834, with the addition of one tenth for the war contribution. Yesterday there was a meeting of the shareholders of the Territorial Bank, at Vauxhall. The majority resolved on the dissolution of the company. The Moniteur publishes the official returns of the prices of wheat and rye for the 3d week of April. The averages are— Wheat 15, 48, and rye 9, 15 per hectolitre. Importation is consequently permitted at the duty of from 37, 50 on wheat, and of from 21, 50 on rye per 1,000 kilogrammes. From the official list of the promotions in the order of Leo pold, from Ist of February, 1833, to 31st of December, 1834 (nearly two years), we see that 547 crosses of ordinary knights have been given to Belgians, but that not a single cross of Officer Commander or Grand Cross has been conferred on them. On the other hand it appears that the Grand Cross has been given to 14 Frenchmen and 1 Englishman (Lord Durham); the Ribbon of Commander to 20 Frenchmen and 1 Englishman (Lord W. Russell). The Officers' Cross to 73 Frenchmen and 1 Englishman (Colonel Caradoc) ; that of Knight to 272 Frenchmen and 3 Englishmen.

TIIE HAGUE, APRIL 23.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-General to-day, the proposal of M. Van Dem Van Isselt, to present an address to the King for the appointment of a Commission to inquire into the state of agriculture, was adopted after a long debate by a majority of 37 to 15. It was therefore sent to the First Chamber. THE HAGUE, APRIL 22.—A letter from Terschilling says " that it was discovered last week that the hull of the Leipsic frigate, having drifted from the place where it was before, rose above the surface of the sea, at a depth of four or four-and-a half fathoms at low water. A boat keeps guard near it, and the English are expected with their new machines for the pur pose of recovering the treasures which are on board this wrecked vessel.—Journal de la Haye, April 22.

During the night of Tuesday last, most probably between seven and eleven o'clock, as the yard door was se cured about eleven, and it was found fast in the morning, a robbery of cash and notes to a considerable amount was com mitted in the counting-house of Messrs. Smith, Hill, and Co., drapers, &c., old Millgate. The robbery was not discovered till about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, when it was found, on opening the cash drawer within the iron safe, that cash and bills; to the amount of 1,500/., about 500/. of which was in gold, and the remainder in bills and bank-notes, had been abstracted. Information was immediately given to the police, and from an examination of the premises, the locks, &c., the officers were of opinion that the robbery had been effected with great skill. It would appear that, between the hours named, the thieves had proceeded up a passage, opened by means of a false key the door of the sale-room in the ware house, and thence went into the counting-house, the door of which was merely on the latch. With another false key they had opened the safe, and having- got possession of proprrty to the amount of 1,500/., relocked the safe, and the outer door of the warehouse, and left all close as they found it. To hate obtained the false key of the safe, it is supposed the thieves must have let themselves into the warehouse on a former night, and obtained a wax impression of the lock on the safe ; for on examining the lock, which was taken off for the purpose, there was not even the slightest mark or scratch upon those parts of it which would have been marked if the lock had been picked. Messrs Smith, Hill, and Co. have offered a reward of 2001. for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders.—Man cheater Guardian , . CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.-011 Wednesday last a man of respectable appearance, named Thomas Isher wood, who for the last three years has been in the employ of Mr. T. A. Crompton, paper-manufacturer, Church-street, Manchester, was brought up at the New Bailey, under a war rant, charged with having embezzled sums of money paid to him on account of his employer. It appeared that about a month ago Mr. Crompton, in consequence of some suspicions which he entertained respecting the prisoner, caused the led ger to be examined, and there found several fictitious entries a:: from the cash-book, in consequence of which an investiga tion took place, when it was found that the deficiencies in the accounts collected by the prisoner, which had all been con cealed by false entries in the ledger, exceeded 4001. A war rant was accordingly obtained, and Isherwood was apprehendee. A Mr. Harding stated, that on the 26th of April, last year, he paid to the prisoner by a check th e amount of 32/. 95., due from him to Mr. Crompton, and that the prisoner gave him a written receipt. Mr. Crompton stated, that the prisoner had never accounted to him for this sum, nor to Mr. James Robin son, the cash-keeper at the works; that en referring to Mr. Harding's account on the ledger, it appeared to be balanced on the 10th of May, 1834, the cash received being referred to folio 44 in the cash-book, as if posted from that folio ; but no such entry could be found, either there or anywhere else, in the cash-hook. On the prisoner being apprehended, he ac knowledged being deficient in his accounts to the extent of 150/., and said that he had a very sickly family, and was very uneasy in his mind. He afterwards confessed that he had carried on this practice ever since he entered the employ of Mr. Crompton. He was committed for trial.—Manchester Guardian. A TALE OF A TUB.—At the brewery of Messrs. Roper two singular entertainments were given last week. Having launched a new mash-tub of dimensions which may be conceived from the purposes it was on these ()miens applied to, the Messrs. Roper, on Tuesday evening, gave to their brewers and maltsters a substantial entertainment, consisting of a round of beef, with appropriate accompaniments, the table being set out in the mash-tub. On Wednesday, the wives, daughters, &c., of the men engaged in the concern, were treated by the same liberal entertainers with tea ; after which the party enjoyed the sprightly dance to the music of a couple of fiddles, their ball-room being no other than the mash-tub itself. This is one way of seasoning a mash-tub.—York Chronicle. According to accounts from Alexandria, the intro duction of the plague into that country was owing to a Maltese dealer in silk, who smuggled from Syria a bale of that article in a state of infection. The house in which the plague first appeared was burnt down, and the Maltese shot, according to the law in that case provided. THE SUN, LONDON, .MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1835, COURT ,NCEIII7I-. ANDREW' S V. WALTON. ....,.. . Mr. Andrews, who came up by habeas corpus from the Fleet Prison; where he bad been committed for non-pay ment of the costs of his bill dismissed, was beard, at consi derable length it, support of his right to move .fOr the dis charge of the attachment under which he was committed. Mr. J. RUSSELL objected to his being heard until he first paid the costs of a motion made before Lord Chancellor Brougham, and refused by him with costs. The same mo tion was made by way of appeal before Lord Lyndhurst, who also refused it, and told Mr. Andrews he could not be heard until he paid the costs of the first motion. Mr. Andrews replied that the late Lord Chancellor re fused his motion under a misrepresentation of the facts. He had now an atEclav:t to set the facts right. The FIRST LORD COMMISSIONER said the rule of the Court was that a person could not make an appeal motion without paying the costs of the first motion, if costs had been ordered. If that rule was not adhered to, there would be no end of motions in appeal. The Registrar called over the following causes, set down for re-hearing on appeal, and no person appearing to show cause why they should not be struck out of the paper they were accordingly struck out, viz.:—Attorney-General v. Dixie ; Barnes v. Moseley ; Robinson v. Mendick ; Gordon v. Marquis of Hertford ; Thorpe v. Macauley ; Attorney- General v. Corporation cf Manchester ; and Henry v. Thomas. The COURT afterwards proceeded to hear motions up to its rising, at a quarter to four o'clock. The cases involved points of practice which were not of any public interest. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS sat in this Court for the purpose of hearing motions. BARING AND OTHERS V. LADY FORD.-THE SAME V. LADY ANSON. Mr. 'WATSON applied to the Court for a rule, calling upon the defendant's attorney to show cause why he should not plead to the declaration in these causes. The writs were, issued on the 28th of March, and the attorney, accepted service of them on the 31st, but had not since pleaded to the action or taken any further proceedings. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. MITCHELL U. HASELHAM. Mr. PLATT stated that the plaintiff sought to recover damages from the defendant for a trespass in taking illegal possession of his lodgings and furniture, under a warrant for alleged rent due when he had been two days in posses sion of the lodging, and by such illegal conduct compelling his wife to quit the apartments. The person in possession at length finding out his error withdrew, after remaining there two days. The most extrordinary part of the case, said the Learned Counsel is, that the defendant had not pleaded to the action, so that there was no defence. It however appeared that the defendant was not unmind ful of his interests, for he immediately presented himself to the notice of the Judge. George Edwards was then called on the part of the plain tiff, to prove his case. He stated that, on the 26th De cember, 1833, he was sent for by the plaintiff to his apart ments in John-street, Clerkenwell, where he found a man in possession. He demanded his warrant, which was shown to him. He then went to the defendant's house, who is a broker in Jerusalem-passage, Clerkenwell, and asked him why he distrained upon the plaintiff's furniture, as his former landlady, Mrs. Lawrence, had given him one month (which time had not expired) to pay her, and had allowed him to quit her premises. Witness requested him, there fore, to withdraw the man, promising him that, if he would do so, no action should be brought against him for an ille gal distraint ; but the defendant refused to withdraw the man, alleging as an excuse, that if he did he should not be able to levy again. • The defendant, he understood, was the collector of Mrs. Lawrence's rents. The defendant cross-examined this witness, to show that he had pledged himself that no action should be brought. The Learned JUDGE left it to the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff with one shilling damages. The defendant then applied to the Learned Judge to certify, in order to deprive the plaintiff of his costs. The Jury also recommended him to the notice of his Lordship. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said in compliance with the re commendation of the Jury he should certify. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. CHALMERS V. PAYNE AND ANOTHER. Mr. STAMMERS, for the plaintiff, moved for a new trial in this case, tried before Lord Abinger at the Westminster sittings after last Term, when there was a verdict for the defendant. It was an action of libel against the proprietors of the Morning Post, for a publication in that paper pur porting to be the report of a trial in the Court of Common Pleas on the sth of July last, of " Chalmers (the present plaintiff) v. Shackell and others," but which report the plaintiff's declaration stated to be a malicious and de famatory libel upon him. The defendants had only pleaded the general issue. The motion was made on the ground of misdirection, and also that the verdict was against evidence. Lord ABINGER—I told the Jury that if the statements at the trial that bore upon the character of the plaintiff were sufficiently rebutted and palliated by the evidence and the verdict, then the publication, taken altogether, was not li bellous ; but if they were of opinion that they were not so palliated, or if they thought it was published maliciously, then they would find for the plaintiff. Mr. STAMMERS—The trial pretended to be reported was the trial of an action for a libel imputing forgery to the plaintiff. Lord ABINGER—If the report ofthat trial was necessarily a libel then all the State trials were libels. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—In Dicas v. Lawson, I directed the Jury to look to• the whole publication. The publication there complained of was the report of a tria lin which there were strong observations, but the verdict was in favour of Dicas. I it to the Jury if, taking the whole pub lication altogether, tl.;:y Ll.ougllt it would depreciate his character. The Court approved of the direction. Mr. STAMMERS submitted that the question of malice ought not to have been left to the Jury. Lord ABINGEa—The question was put to the Jury whe ther the report, taken alto,, , rether with the verdict, was on the face it injurious to the plaintiff ; and the Jury took the report out with them, and found that it was not.—Rule refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE, The witnesses for the prosecution attended for the pur pose of being bound over to give evidence against Foster for forging a bill of exchange for 8001., and Murphy for aiding and assisting Foster in his escape, knowing that that prisoner had committed an act of felony. Mr. Mahon, the barrister, attended upon the part of Murphy. It will be recollected that the LORD MAYOR directed that. Foster should find bail. His solicitor accordingly sent notice of bail to Mr. Peachey, the solicitor for the prose cution, but the sureties did not appear. Mr. Peachey said he had made inquiry into the respon sibility of the securities proposed, and could not think of accepting them on „inch an occasion ; one of them was ac tually hiding from his.croditors. Mr. Mahoa represented to the LORD MAYOR the very great difficulty arising in the way of procuring bail under all the circumstances, and expressed a hope that his Lord ship would not require it to so large an amount as would have the effect of punishing his client with a heavy impri sonment. There was one very strong argument in favour of the application—that there was no case whatever made out against him. Mr. Peachey said that the fact of Murphy's having given to the captain of the ship in which they were going to Ame rica, the sum of two hundred pounds after the passage had been paid for, was pretty 'strong evidence of the offence of aiding and assisting in the escape of a felon. The LORD MAYOR—I have decided on that point, and I must require the usual notice of bail on such occasions. I consider Mr. Murphy as an accessary after the fact. Mr. Mahon—Your Lordship will see the necessity of ordering the bank notes of my client to be given up to him ? The LORD MAYOR—I cannot make any order of the kind. They may be part of the property of the prosecutor. Mr. Mahon—lt is his own nioney. If the numbers of the notes be compared with any of the prosecutor's that fact will be immediately discovered. Mr. Peachev—l cannot think of giving them up to him. Murphy—May I ask, my Lord, why you oblige me to find bail ? • The LORD MAYOR —Certainly I shall tell you. For as sisting Foster to escape. • Murphy—l had nothing to do with his departure. I was going myself. I solemnly declare that I have no more right to be at this bar than your Lordship has. The LORD MAYOR—So you said before; but I must keep you till you find bail Murphy—Perhaps Mr. Peachey would take the two bail he has inquired after. Mr. Peachey—Not under any circumstances. Murphy—l shall not produce them here at that rate. Mr. Peachey then consented to take notice on the spot of two other person as bail. The LORD MAYOR—I shall commit Foster now to New gate for the forgery, Mr. Mabon—He will be perfectly safe in the Compter ; and, as he will require much legal advice, it can be tendered with much greater benefit to a prisoner in the Compter than in Newgate. The LORD MAYOR- , -I do not see why that prisoner diould have greater indulgence than another. The offence with which he is charged is not so much smaller than those of others as to entitle him to any peculiar degree of accom modation. Mr. Hobler then read over the depositions to the several witnesses. It will be remembered that the name of Ches- Lerman was on the bill for 8801., and that Mr. Chesterman, the proprietor of the Hope public-house, in Blackmore street, Clare-market, deposed that the writing was not his, and that he had never authorised Foster to write his name on a bill. When Mr. Hobler read over that part of the de position, Mr. Chesterman said, I beg pardon ; I said that I had no recollection of having authorized Mr. Foster to write my name. The LORD MAYOR—You said you had not authorized Mr. Cliesterman—No, my Lord ; I said that I had no recollection of any thing of the kind. The Lour, MAYOR—I understood you to say that you had neither authorized Foster nor any body else to sign your name to a bill. _ Mr. Chesterman—l never said I did not authorize any body tense my name. Ido not recollect that I authorized Mr. Foiter to do so. The LORD MAYOR—You wish this to be added to your statement ? Mr. Chesterman—Certainly. He then signed the deposition. Mr. Peachey stated that the witness named Dew, who had given his evidence so reluctantly on Saturday last, on the subject of the letter which he had received by post from Foster, bad declared that he would never, under any circumstances, appear again in this business. The LORD MAYOR—Do not apprehend anything of that kind. Do you subpmna him to the Central Criminal Court, and let him dare to'tlisobey the authority. Murphy was then ordered to be brought up again in the event of the tender of good bail, and to be discharged, and Foster was fully committed to Newgate. BRUSSELS. The eviclence of Mr. Alexander, representing the House of Cockerill, of Seraing, contains some comparative cyphers and calculations which may not be uninteresting to Manchester readers, and which tend to prove the impossibility of the Belgians ever being able to compete with England in the finer numbers. Accordine. to Mr. Alexander, Belgium consumed in 1834 six millions of kilogrammes of raw cotton (12,750,000 lbs.) at 2f. 20c. per kilogramme, making 13,200,000 francs, the value of which is quadrupled by manufacture, giving a total of 52,800,000 francs thus expended. Raw cotton, thirteen millions; dyeing materials, seven millions; work men's wages, twenty millions ; coals, light, and repairs, I,4oo,ooefrancs ; interest of capital, at 5 per cent., 2,640,000 francs. Depreciation on thirty-four millions ; capital engaged at 5 per cent., 1,700,000 francs ; insurances, &c. &c., six millions ; total, 51,940,000 francs, leaving, to complete the 52,800,000 francs, 860,000 francs profit. The population is about four millions and a half, and the average consumption of cotton goods about 20 francs per head, which gives ninety millions. On deducting 52,800,000 francs for in ternal production, it leaves 37,200,000 francs as the amount of foreign importation ; the greater part of which, as well as nearly the whole of the raw material, is drawn from England. It appears that the gross quantity of cotton goods entered inwards amounted in 1834 to 730,000 kilogrammes (say 1,500,000 lbs. ), which, at 16 francs per kilogramme, give twelve millions • conseqently twenty-five millions of merchandise are smuggled, and the revenue is de frauded of 3,165,000 francs. The proposed augmented duties are intended to fall principally on Nos, 60, 80, and 100, by raising the tariff on the first from 15 to 33 per cent., on the second to 26 per cent., and on the third to 22 per cent. ; these being the numbers that are principally imported from Manches ter, and , which, from the indolence or want of energy of the Ghent manufacturers, have been little encouraged at that place. It would be impossible in this place to follow Mr.. Alexander through his details, but we must not omit his comparison be tween the expense of a cotton-factory in Belgium and England. A mill in the latter of 10,000 spindles, costs, he says, 20 francs per spindle ; in the former 40 francs ; giving in the one country a total outgoing, including interest, of 217,500 francs, producing 234,000 lbs. annually. In the other the ex penses amount to 43,750 francs, producing 145,600 lbs. annually. Thus, the pound of cotton costs twenty-three centimes less in England than in Belgium. Add to this the relative costs of repairs, transport of raw material, interest and sundries, it results that Manchester can produce at 26 per cent. cheaper than Ghent. It also appears that from the ability of the English workmen, and their producing a greater quantity of stuff in a given period, that manual la bour is 20 per cent. dearer in Belgium than in England. One of the great obstacles to the improvement of this industry in Belgium, is their inattention to the indigenous improvement of machinery. Having the models before them their workmen can produce as perfect machines as ours; but these models can only be obtained at a great sacrifice of money (700 to 800 per cent.), and delay ; and probably before the copy is per fected, the model has already undergone an improvement in England, which leaves the Belgian still in arrear. We are aware that our Practical men maintain a jealous watchfulness over the exportation of machinery, and that it is superfluous to recommend them to hold a perpetually open eye to this point. In speaking of smuggling, Mr. Alexander says, that only an eighth of the merchandize imported pays duty. The insur ance houses at Valenciennes offer to introduce goods at dis count, and in proportion as the Government augments its du ties, they diminish their premiums. Mr. Cockerill professes to be opposed to prohibition, but bases his system on re ciprocity :—" Industry for industry—produce for produce." But he explains this reciprocity somewhat jesuitically, by saying that he does not mean that they should receive ten times as much merchandise as they can sell : or, in other words, that only so much as they cannot manufacture should be admitted. This is, in fact, downright prohibition, for England, if acting upon the basis of reciprocal free trade, would be able in ten days to send to Antwerp sufficient cotton to form a tent over the whole of Belgium. It results from this inquest, and from the opinions of the different Chambers of Commerce, that opinions are equally divided upon the ques tion of prohibition. Six of them were for, and six against it. Of the former, four are from the Flanders. The ship-builders of Antwerp have addressed a petition to the Minister, claiming the re-establishment of the system of premiums as fixed before the revolution, declaring their trade to be in a most depressed state, and complaining that the whole commerce of the port is done in foreign bottoms. Here again protecting duties are demanded, and hre again, if an investigation were instituted, we should find that the evil results from the want of energy, and vigilance of the trade, rather than from any necessity of encouragemeiat on the part of the Government. The builders, like the inallufacturers of Ghent, would desire to see the Government purchase their produce, and render it unnecessary for them to do anything but sit tranquilly in their counting-houses.

COWPER'S WORKS.—A complete edition of this exemplary Christian poet, with his Life, Letters, and. Private Correspondence, edited by the Rev. Mr. Grimshawe, is now in course of publication in monthly volumes, by Messrs. Saunders and Otley. Vols. 1 and 2 are now before us, and may fairly compete with the most elegant of this class of fash ionable literature, both in external appearance and beauty of typography and illustration, the latter from original drawings (made expressly for the work) by the Findens. To say that the editor is competent to the task he has undertaken is but lukewarm praise : no better could have been selected, whether we judge from his religious character or his high literary repu tation. We have only to 1. , dd that the getting up of the work is highly creditable to the artists engaged, and the literary world are greatly indebted to the spirited publishers for giving the entire works of one of the most popular poets of England in an elegant and portable size, and at a price which will render it attainable by all classes of readers. —County Herald. EA RLY GAMBLER.—Last week a fad, only seven.- teen years of age, banged himself at Frome, after having pawned his clothes and parted with his last shilling to pay his losses at skittle playi_ng. FATAL AND MEL ANCIIOLY ACCIDENT.—At a co lliery in the neighbourhood of Wilsontown, on Wednesday last, a young man of the name of Adams was adjusting the rope at the pithead, while his father was in the act of ascend ing from his work, when by some inadvertency the rope which b e was adjusting had formed into a coil on a part of the gin, and not being aware of this circumstance, when it suddenly lengthened out, he lost his balance and fell headlong down the pit. In his descent the unfortunate youth gave one piercing farewell shriek as he passed his father, and the next instant was hurried into eternity.—Edinburgh Paper. FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.--Among the sporting performances of fishers in the Tweed, with the rod, which have l a t e ly been noticed, may be classed the result of an hour's fishing in the Tnviot, obtained by a nobleman who without n eglecting any of the numerous arid important duties of his high station, so manages as to have some time for health ful exercise and recreation. On Monday evening last, the Duke of Buccleuch, after the day's hunt, killed, within an hour, in the pool close by Monteviot, three salmon, two perches, and a pike of 141bs. with a single gut line. Be sides those secured his Grace run several other salmon and another large pike ; and one of the most remarkable points of this fishing adventure was, the recovery of a hook and line in his mouth of a kelt of eight pounds weight, which again took the hook shortly after having broken away from the first take. As a suitable termination of such sport, his Grace at night speared twelve fish in the same pool of the Teviot.—Scotch Paper. MINISTERIAL RE-ELECTIONS. WORKING OF.THE REFORM BILL We learn that a large portion of the electors of Dundee, who have good access to know the sentiments of the consti tuency generally, have not only resolved to re-elect Sir Henry Parnell, upon the vacancy which his new appointment as Treasurer of the Navy renders necessary, but that they are to intimate to him that his presence is altogether unnecessary. They did the same thin.. last election, and re-elected Sir Henry in his absence. Now, can a better testimony be given as to the pure and honest working of a good system of election than is thus afforded by this large, proSperous, and independent town ? And what a contrast to the working of the old system I Dundee has been considered a place of great Radicalism ; yet when the middle classes came to exercise the franchise, instead of choosing a foolish or worthless demagogue, they select a distinguished stranger, a political economist, and a Minister of State ; and, instead of insisting that he shall come to the spot to be subjected either to beggarly solicitations by the needy, or to vexatious' catechising by emissaries of the Tories, they beg of him not to take the trouble to attend at Dundee, as his election will not depend on any such formality. What a proud demonstration is thus afforded of honour and purity of principle in electors ; and what a noble proof does Dundee give of the progress, and, indeed, of the triumph and perfec tion of the cause of freedom in one of the most important and populous districts in Scotland. Let Sir Robert Peel read this when he talks of there being a voice out of doors different from the votes of the House of Commons within doors. Let this boasted Statesman, to whom the results of the spinning jenny should not be uninteresting, also ponder over the remit tance of 500/. from Manchester to South Devon to forward the re-return of Lord John Russell, to whose temperate and dex terous management the sagacious Baronet must greatly ascribe his own defeat. We cannot help contrasting the conduct of the Dundee Radicals with that of the Edinburgh Tories. For some days the committees in the Liberal interest have been employed in collecting the sentiments of the Edinburgh electors, as to the propriety of dispensing with Sir John Camp bell's attendance at the ensuing election, and we rejoice to hear it reported, that the Liberal constituency of Edin burgh is almost as united as that of Dundee, in request ing Sir John rather to remain in London, and to feel no distrust of his success here from his absence. The Tories know this. But. nevertheless, some low miscreants (who must be connected with their offscourings) had the impudence yesterday tb cover the walls of the city and suburbs in every direction with a placard, the import of which was that the city was sold by a Whig clique, because the election was to be con ducted without the attendance of the candidate. The Tories . . judge from their own conduct in charging the Liberals with selling a seat in Parliament. But we suspect that the sale of a constituency of 6,000 electors is an affair beyond even the art of the Tories, as wholesale dealers in corruption. ' And as they have never as yet been able to buy such a constituency in any one reformed town, so it would puzzle them to tell the public how it is to be sold.—Caledonian Mercury. HADDINGTON DISTRICT OF BURGHS. Mr. Steuart of Alderston, havinc , been appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury, arrived in Haddington on Mon day afternoon, and within twenty-four hours canvassed, and may safely be said to have secured, all the district of burghs of which he has been _ the trusted representative in all the reformed Parliaments. Mr. Steuart's re-elec- tion is now ascertained to be so sure that no man who is not absolutely insane will adventure on even attempting an opposition. Having canvassed and met his friends in Dun bar, North Berwick, and Haddington, on Monday, he pro ceeded to Lauder and Jedburgh on Tuesday, and on his arrival at the latter place in the afternoon, was received with the most enthusiastic welcome by the whole population. The whole of the proceedings throughout the day afforded a clear and unequivocal demonstration of the general feeling of satisfaction on the return of Lord Melbourne and his friends to office, and Mr. Steuart will be enabled, from the reception which he has experienced in Jedburgh, to report what we know to be the al most unanimous sentiment in our borders, that the return of Lord Melbourne to office is regarded by the general commu nity as the harbinger of peace and prosperity to the country— as a pledge of thorough but wise reform, and as a guarantee that the invaluable institutions of our country will be vigi lantly guarded, alike against the machinations of Toryism and the horrors of revolutionary insanity.—Caledonian Mercury.

The Jupiter, armed en flute, Captain A'Court, is expected here in a few days, with the intention of conveying the Go vernor- General.to India ; but some doubts have been suggested as to the person who is to assume that important office. The Pluto steamer is ordered to convey Mr. Ellis to Con stantinople, on hig route to Persia, as Ambassador from this country. The Firebrand steamer proceeded to Plymouth on Thursday. The 43d Light Infantry will embark from Cork in a few days, on board the Athol troop-snip, for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia; and on their arrival, the 34th .proceed from that sta tion to Halifax, on their return home from service.

The Romney troop-ship is ordered to take 28 offi cers, 250 men, &c., to the Cape of Good Hope, to relieve a regiment which is on its return to England. His Majesty's steam-vessel Spitfire, Lieutenant Kennedy, now employed as a packet at the Leeward Islands, had, on the 6th of March last, peformed her first voyage in 17 days, the quickest ever made—from Barbadoes to Jamaica five days and six hours, touching at Jaquemel ; to St. Thomas's, touching at Jaquemel, five days wanting two hours ; from thence to Barbadoes in three days, in all 13 days only at sea.
