SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The letter of our Dublin Correspondent, gives us some painfully interesting details of the frightful energy with which some of the Orange landlords of Ireland have proceeded to act upon the system, recom mended to them by their Tory friends in this country, of turning out, without mercy, their present tenantry, to make way for a new tenantry of their own selection. Our Correspondent states, upon the authority of the Leinster Independent, that "Upwards of nine hundred persons, including widows and orphans, h ave b een e j ec t e d f rom the estates of Lord Beresford, Colonels Bruen and Latouche, and a Mr. New ton. This number is exclusive of many others similarly treated by some of the minor landed proprietors—the Alexanders, Brewsters, and others of the same principles." When we consider the actual state of the country— the difficulty—not to say impossibility—of finding employment or subsistence for the poor tenants thus ejected on account of their religious faith, by the aristocratic tyrants of the soil, and the total absence of all legislative provision against entire destitution and starvation in that ill-fated country—shall we wonder, if expelled for no fault, and doomed to see their wives and families subjected to the miseries of an inclement season, perhaps to 'all the horrors of famine — shall we wonder if the law, which affords no pro tection, is violated,. and the society, which extends no relief, outraged, by persons in the situation in which these individuals are placed ? Because an artificial state of society has given to the land owners every thing, and to the people nothing, is a starving peasantry to be expected to concur in its inherent fitness, and to bow in quiet submission to the decree which dooms the population of a whole district to houseless misery, that half a score of Orange landlords may be gratified by replacing it by a subser vient tenantry of their - own persuasion ? Talk of the savage nature of the Irish peasant l but what are its single atrocities and occasional outrages compared to the systematic and deliberate and wholesale barba rities committed by• the " respectable - and the " opu lent". and the " orthodox" and the " ultra-loyal" per sonages who form the bulk of the Orange landlords of Ireland ? The Church of that country has done pretty well in this way—the pile of corpses at Rathcormac was a pretty good hecatomb at the shrine of legal ortho doxy ; but the doings of lay tories far transcend those of their clerical coadjutors ; and between both, . the Irish peasantry stand in a most hopeful and enviable predicament. However, these present freaks of the Irish landlords will have one good effect—they will excite the generous feelings of this country in fa vour of their tenantry, and they will contribute to spread far and wide the conviction—now daily becom ing more and more deeply felt—that a systematic and adequate provision for the Irish poor must be speedily albpted by the British Parliament. -If they will gra • tify their worst passions in total recklessness of the misery which they occasion, at any rate it is fitting that the pleasure , should be purchased at their own expense, and that they should be conyelled to support in parish unions those whom they will not allow to earn their subsistence by labouring upon the soil which gave them birth.—Morning Chronicle. It was stated yesterday as our apprehension, that little chance of an amicable result to the proposed re medial commission of Lord Gosford could be founded on the address of the Assembly of Upper Canada, smooth as was its language, in reply to the not less courtier-like speech which had been panned for his Excellency by the Colonial-office here. The speech of the Governor-General was a somewhat cringing,. and somewhat drowsy, deprecation of the displeasure of Mr. Papineau and his friends. The reply was a mixture of haughty and half-ironical coinpleisance— with a distrustful and sienificant warning to his Excel e lencv, that if, he did not yield the tvizole of the de mands put forth by the Radical or French party among the colonists, lie need not be at the trouble of crying peace, for there would be "no peace." We believe unfeignedly that the Legislative Council of Canada has hitherto been constituted in a manner not capable of rendering it either' popular with the colony at large, or effective for the purposes of just and Impartial government : but we more than doubt whether the appointment of its members by the same constitu ency which returns the House of Assembly would be an nnprOvement on its previous composition. If chOsen by the same parties who elect the Assembly, the Legis • lative Council would be no better than a counterpart of the Assembly itself, representing the same interests, and actuated by the same spirit. The t;Yo bodies might then more fitlranect in one room, and not affect a dif ference which had no reality. There coed be no balance in such a system ; the Government would be one broad, uniform, and unrestrained democracy ; the Executive would be a pure cipher ; the colony .would he a republic at once. This we conceive, no British Parliament would accede to, without being prepared to surrender altogether the dominion of the mother coup • try. At the same time it is but just to allow, that the Legislative Council ought to consist of a class of per sons more independent of the Executive Power—more looked up to for property and station in the country — not warped and paralyzed in their views as Legislators, by the possession of offices, much more a plurality of offices, incompatible with each other, and offensive to the public. Discharging the functions of a House of Lords, they ought to represent the real aristocracy cf the province, and not be mere creatures of the Go vernor. So the Canadians ought, beyond all question, so long as they enjoy the name or semblance of a dis tinct Legislature, to have an efficient control over the revenues raised within their own soil. To refuse this would be to treat with contempt the best-established and most-respected analogies of the British Constitu tion. Either govern them by military and despotic power, as perhaps they might still have been, had they remained under French dominion,—or, calling them freemen, grant them the rights of freemen—maintaining, what we suppose the Canadians will themselves acknowledge, the su premacy of the parent state in all *matters of peace and war, of commercial, maritime, and ex ternal legislation. If a clear and full recognition be made by Great Britain of all such demands on the part of the Canadians as are necessary for the substantial good government of the province, upon principles con sistent with its subordination to the general laws and policy of the parent state, those requisitions which wander beyond such limiis may, with the more ob vious justice, and with greater consequent facility, be resisted. No one can deny that so long as England decides on the retention of the colony, she ought to measure her concessions to the colonists within a cor responding boundary. We repeat, however, frankly our suspicion that objects are pertinaciously insisted on by the democratic party in Lower Canada, the yielding which would - be equivalent to a total surrender of the conquest made by Wolfe. We guard ourselves against pronouncing any judgment upon the general question of the value which ought to be attached to transmarine possessions, strongly as our minds may be made up on that point, in the case of England more especially. All we contend for is, that a colony, to be retained, must not be governed on principles which tend to impair the power of retaining it.—Times. The manner in which the subscription in favour of the distressed Protestant clergy of Ireland has com menced, is in every respect highly gratifying ; for while it furnishes a renewed proof of the benevolent disposition of all classes in this country, it likewise affords the best refutation of any alleged indifference existing as to the continuance and upholding of that zeformed faith for which our ancestors so nobly strug gled, and which is so essentially incorporated with the continuance of our civil liberties. We are entitled to say that, from the King on his throne to the peasant, these genuine English feelings exist ; for in the country we observe that subscriptions as small as one shilli ng have been contributed, in a spirit and with a motive which cannot be misu n d ers t oo d. But, in running our eye over this munificent list of donors, we regret that we can hitherto find but few if any of the names of that class upon whom the claim is strongest, and whose means are greatest. We mean the landowners of Ire land, who are drawing without scruple immense reve nues from an impoverished country, and who are ac tually, in some instances, enriched by the robbery which the suffering Ministers of the Established Church of Ireland are now undergoing. One main objection to any diminution of tithes in Ireland, is that it puts, as far as it goes, the property of the Church into the pockets of the landlord, who has no legal claim to it. In addition to the same spirit of benevo lence which prompts their fellow-subjects in England, surely the persons we allude to have still stronger mo tives to follow, if not to take the lead, in the same course. Unhappily we cannot say that they are per sonal witnesses of the distress of the Clergy. Too many of them are permanent absentees from the places where their presence might have prevented or mitigated the-evil. But at any rate they are more in terested in the matter than their English brethren can be—interested in a double sense, first, in finding their own rents increased, or at all events the facility of pay ment, improved by the withholding of their just dues from the Clergy ; and secondly, in stopping, if they have the sagacity, a species of spoliation of which, should it succeed, they are themselves the reserved and very next destined victims. On every ground then of duty and of interest we trust speedily to see the oppro brium we allude to removed. While Englishmen, from the highest to the lowest, are responding to this most awful call upon their humanity, let it not be said that any class of the community can coldly stand aloof from being partakers in so godlike a work.; least of all let it be said of those who are most strongly called upon by every tie of duty and interest to be the first, and not the last, to afford relief to such an unparalleled state of suffering. The two strongest influences of human action are, perhaps, interest and shame. We would willingly appeal to higher motives ; but we have, unfortunately, on previous occasions, done so in vain ; and, unhappily, the present is far too pressing to admit of our delaying to further the object by the readiest and the likeliest means which present themselves.— Morning Herald. There are few of our readers who are not aware - how frequently, on the one hand, Mr. O'Connell makes it his business to present himself to the public, by letter or by speech ; and how invariably, on the other, these appearances are laid bold of by the Tory press to lay at the door of his Majesty's Ministers all the silly, foul-mouthed, and sometimes contemptible abuse and threats which he is in the habit of pouring forth upon his personal or political opponents. The former—we mean Mr. O'Connell's presentations of himself to the prrblic alt really too frequent and of too extensive a nature to find insertion or notice in our journal in the order of their appearance ; while with regard to the latter, our Tory contemporaries merely labour in their stated vocation in endeavouring to turn to the advan tage of their patrons, and the disadvantage of their poli tical opponents, the escapades of a person on whom no person of common sense, whatever estimate they might form of his talents for good or evil, ever placed the slightest reliance for a longer period than it might serve the purpose of the Agitator to continue in the same path. But we do think it foolish, if not highly blameable on the part of the Liberal Press, to take up the cause of this man, as if it were the cause of the Government ; or, what is more,y the cause of the country—to take him under its wings as an essential part of the Administration, and to defend all his acts of folly and barbarism, as if the country could not be governed without hiM, or he were able by a mere breath of his mouth to makes or unmake any Admi nistration which it might be the pleasure of his Majesty to call to his aid. Was there ever a more foolish mistake ?—or a more groundless supposition ? What ! No Government stand without the aid of O'Connell and his tail of forty-three joints ? No Ad ministration stand, unless it shall be the pleasure of his Agitatorship to stamp it with the seal of his ap probation ? No safety for the existing Government unless all the foolish and mischievous sayings and doings of O'Connell are regularly gazetted as Gospel truths, and defended, almost at the point of the sword, or the mouth -of the pistol ? Heaven for bid the degradation, so far as we and the country are concerned ! The latter, if we mistake not, could go on pretty well witbout either him or his letters, or speeches ; and with regard to ourselves, be he con nected with the Government, or be he not, we shall take.the liberty at all times, of exposing • the vicious character of his proceedings, when they are vicious, as we have hitherto done ; of bestowing a just meed of praise upon him, when he appears to merit it by straightforward, and honest, and patriotic conduct. The last escapade of which the brightest gem of the Emerald Isle has been guilty, is a letter to some Leeds paper,--the Leeds Times, we thinlz—upon a " Reform of the House of Lords," &c., &c.—for, like all Mr. O'Connell's epistles, a letter upon any subject is always found to be a convenient medium for the introduction of every other matter of grievance, however distant it may be in character or ob ject. This letter is sensible enough, in so far as regards the necessity of a Reform of the House of Lords, and the very patent obstruction which they have formed, of late years, to the passing of any measures of a liberal tendency, whether they regarded Ireland, or any other portion of the empire ; but his plan for the reform of that body is as senseless, as the introduction of his own alleged political strength, and of his experiment upon the conduct of the present Ad ministration, is insulting, and all but treacherous. During the last twelve or eleven months, he has been calling " black white," and " white black," in order to keep out the Tories, and maintain a Reforming Go vernment in power ; and yet hear how he can speak of his intentions when ensconced in Derrynane Abbey, with " eight millions at his back," as he professes, with no great deference to the people of Ireland, to have " But, to be serious," says he, "as he (Mr. Baines) has introduced the Repeal, and insinuated that I have aban doned that measure, I deem it but candid to inform the British Reformers that I have not abandoned the pursuit of the Repeal of the Union ; it is, on the contrary, true, and let Baines make the most of it, that I am as thoroughly convinced as ever I was that Ireland will never be well or honestly governed until she has a domestic Legislature of her own. I therefore have not abandoned,. I have only postponed, the agitation of that measure ; and I have postponed it for two reasons : first, to give, in the full spirit of candour and perfect fair play, room for the en tire working out of an experiment, of whether Ireland can have a just and beneficial Government without the repeal of the Union. I enter into that experiment fully, heartily, actively, energetically. Should the experiment suc ceed—and Lord Mulgrave and Lord Morpeth are as yet doing all they possibly can to make it suceeed,—if it suc ceed, then my judgment will prove to be wrong ; but my heart will be consoled by the prosperity of the loved land of my birth. If it fail, as fail I think it must, I will then turn round on the honest Reformers of Great Britain ; I will point out the sincerity with which I have made out the experiment of an Imperial legislation ; I will point out the natural and unpassable obstacles to its success. I will then be right in the judgment of my conscience and of all the impartial men of the British Isles, and with eight mil lions at my back, and justice in my cause, it would indeed be preposterous to doubt of success." _ _ . . Nor is this all. The second reason for his post poning the " Repeal" of the Union, is, that " Ire land is not as yet ripe for a simultaneous stfort"— which, we presume, means for taking up arms against the people of England and Scotland ; but honest Dan is not satisfied with even these honourable admis sions, for he adds— ,' I am in my conscience convinced that there is no mode of ultimately preventing the repeal of the Union—nay, the separation of these countries—but by procuring that justice for Ireland which the House of Lords contemptu ously refuses her. You must have a Reform in the Lords —or, mark my words Repeal of the Union." Another extract we spare our readers, in mercy to Ireland, not to O'Connell. "We are forty-three," says he—and the boast is tantamount to a declara tion that he can at any moment make, or unmake, by means of these forty-three joints in his tail, any Administration, whatever may be its measures or its materials. Impudence could not go farther—but it is well that it-has proceeded so far. The eyes of the people of England will now be opened to the perpe tually selfish, reckless, and restless character of this pretended apostle of his country's welfare ; and Lord Melbourne and his Government stand acquitted in their eyes for having abstained from any other connection with him than that which they could not ac oid.— Morning. Advertiser. On Saturday evening last, about five o'clock, Mr. R. Sniffing, miller, of St. Mary's Cray, was on his way home from Croydon fair, when passing through Kent-lane, between Hay's Common and West Wickham, he was stopped by two men who robbed him of his pocket-book, containing Gl. 3s. 6d. One of the robbers, who was armed with a pistol, was of very dark complexion, and wore a flannel jacket. The other, a stout man, of light com plexion, wore a shooting jacket, and carried a large stick. i;orour: C ' J^ 11./ 3i.1 Ja g ° 6 \•'n , ~•D• 1 0 1 _ , I ' !New ~`-: ;:=~:~ ~ E .. ` ~1- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1835. VICE CHANCERY.-WEDNESDAY. of the persons who had changed the stolen notes, as well as others which he did not think proper to disclose, left no doubt on his mind of beitlg able to connect the prisoners with the robbery. Lea, in reply to a question from Mr. HARDWICK, said the charge against the prisoner Morrison was, that he, being suspected of being the person who had passed a IW. note, which was one of those stolen from the Custom-house, at a pawnbroker's shop, in releasing a diamond pin ; and though not actually engaged in the commission of the fact, there was strong reason to suspect, from the parties in whose company he had been seen, that he was an accessory both before and after the fact. The whole of the prisoners, after some further discus sion, and it appearing that Morrison bad been before trans ported for seven years, and was what is termed a " return lag," were remanded for a fortnight. TAYLOR V. HITCHCOCK. Mr. KNIGHT moved that the defendants should be com mitted to the Fleet for breach of an injunction obtained in this cause in December, 1834, restraining them from selling a species of thread under a particular appellation, which was the property of the plaintiff. Mr. JACOB opposed the motion. His HONOUR thought - that the breach of the injunction was clearly made out against the defendant ; and he must, therefore, commit them to the Fleet, unless the parties could arrange the business out of Court. COMMON PLEA S.-WEDNE SD AY. CORNISH AND ANOTHER V. KEENE AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought for an infringement of a patent. The patent in question was obtained by the sculptor Seivier. It was for the manufacture of India rubber web as well as cloth. After the appearance of Mr. Seivier's invention the defendants introduced to the market a similar production, varying only in its elasticity. The patent ob tained by Mr. Seivier was for the unadulterated manufac ture of India rubber web. That offered to the public by the defendants was with a mixture of cotton. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the part of the plaintiffs, after entering into a long detail of the numerous infringe ments of the patent,'stated that the patent of Mr. Seivier was obtained on the 17th of January, 1833, and its speci fication guaranteed to the public the pure manufacture of the Indian rubber into web. The defendants joined various issues. First, That they were not guilty of any infringe ment ; secondly, It was not a new invention, and ought not to be protected ; thirdly, That the article was well known in England ; fourthly, That the goods were not an improvement on the old manufacture ; and, lastly, That the specification was not distinct. An injunction was obtained by Mr. Seivier against the defendants. The Court sent the issue to a Court of law. On the part of the plaintiff numerous witnesses were examined, chiefly medical men of the first respectability, who testified to the value of the web manufactured by Mr. Seivier for surgical purposes. Tailors bore testimony of the nature of the cloth, particu larly of a coarse kind, adapted for working people, the elas ticity of which yields to the impulsive motion of the body, at the same time affording great warmth. Sir F. POLLOCK, for the defendants, went into minute detail of the evidence which he would offer. The Jury found a . verdiet for the plaintiff. Damages— One shilling. INSOLVENT COURT-WEDNESDAY Dudley Robert Edward Heneage, known by the name of Dudley Heneage, was heard this morning on his pe tition praying to be discharged. The schedule, filed by the insolvent, who is related to se veral Noble families, exhibits creditors to the number of sixty-nine, whose debts amount in the aggregate to 9,2221. 9s. 7d., of which sum he has received consideration for 8,0051. ls. 4d. He had formerly been a Lieutenant in the 10th Hussars, then a Cornet in the same regiment, and afterwards a Lieutenant in the 13th Light Dragoons, and latterly residing in Upper Stamford-street, Blackfriars road ; whilst there, assuming the name of David Hamilton. Among the many items in his balance-sheet,, was one of 600/., lost at play at Boulogne. The insolvent ascribed his insolvency to having entered an expensive regiment ; to the extravagant charges made by several of the tradesmen with whom he dealt ; to the great facility afforded in incurring heavy debts, and the dis appointment in the receipt of money, and various losses.' The insolvent was then examined by Mr. PHILLIPS. In March, 1832, he . executed an assignment to his father of his reversionary interest under the marriage settlement, since which period he had incurred many debts. He had in 1832 purchased about 200/. worth of jewellery of Mr. Rowland, of Coventry-street, Haymarket. He pledged some of the articles a few months after he obtained them, and a ring, for which he was charged 311. 10s., he lost by accident. From Mr. Hays, another jeweller, in 1833, he had various articles. A watch he had of him he lost out of his pocket in Dublin. For a ring he was charged by Mr. Hays, 34/., which he sold in 1834 for about 8/. At the time he was incurring the se veral debts, he had an allowance from his father of 300/. a-year, which, together with his pay a Lieute nant in the Hussars, amounted to 464/. The insolvent ad mitted that that sum was inadequate to maintain his station in the regiment, which, be said, was a very expensive one. In 1832 and 1833, he made presents of articles of jewellery to the amount of 300/. In July, 1833, he purchased of Messrs. Burnand a carriage for 333/., which he sold in the March following for 200/. In July, 1833, he had two guns of Westley Richards for 75/. These, he said, were pawned by a friend without being used. In the year 1829, he pur chased two guns of Mr. Purdy for 105/. ; he sold them in 1833 or 1834 for 40/. In the years 1832 and 1833, after the assignment to his father, he incurred debts for jewellery to the amount of 7001. In those two years his debts for clothes were 6001. ; he was dealing with several tailors at the same time, but not one of them knew of the circum stance. His bills for boots amounted to a large sum. In 1832 and 1833 he obtained goods of Mr. Cooke, a tailor, and from Mr. Burgheat, another tailor—during the same period he purchased an easy chair for 15/. These debts ha said he expected his father would have paid : he had paid some, but was not aware he was incurring others. The insolvent was then questioned by Mr. COOKE. Ho said his father purchased his Lieutenancy in the Hussars. When he entered he was only eighteen years of age, and soon began to incur debts. The insolvent, in answer "to a question of the CHIEF COMMISSIONER, said he was now 28 years of age. The Learned COMMISSIONER sentenced the insolvent, at the suit of the above-mentioned creditors (being discharged as to the other debts), for a period of eighteen calendar months from the date of filing his petition, for contracting the debts without reasonable expectations of payment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Thomas Sullivan, William Jourdan, and An drew Morrison, who have been in custody for the last week, the two former with being concerned in breaking into the Custom House on the night of the 27th of No vember, 1834, and stealing therefrom bank-notes and gold, amounting to upwards of 5,0001., and the latter with being an accessary, both before and after the fact, were brought before Messrs. HARDWICK and NORTON for further exa mination. Mr. Hobler, in the absence of Mr. Adolphus, who had not arrived at the time, said that after offering evidence to prove that the robbery of which the prisoners were sus pected of being concerned in, and the ground upon which they were so suspected, and also, in the absence of some parties connected with the Custom House, through whose instrumentality he had reason to think, and there were good grounds for suspecting, the robbery had been effected, it would be his duty to call on the Magistrates to remand the prisoners for a fortnight, in order to give time to the officer to procure further evidence in the case, as well 'as to produce witnesses from different places, some from the Continent. Mr. Hobler then called Mr. Frederick Thomas Walsh, who deposed that he was the receiver of fines and forfeitures in his Majesty's Customs, which situation he had held for two years and a half. On the evening of the 27th of November, 1834, he had in his pos session about 5,000/. in bank notes and gold, the principal part of which was in notes, and this sum he deposited in a chest to which there were two. locks, of one of which lie (witness) had the key. After so placing the money in the chest he put on a padlock, locked it, and placed the key in his drawer, and the person who had the key of the other lock was there at the time, and as he believed, used it in locking the chest. On his (Mr. Walsh's) return on the following morning, he found two of his clerks in the office, and ascertained that the chest during the night had been broken open and the money taken away. On examining it he perceived that the lock, of which the person he had be fore alluded to had the key, had been unlocked, and the other, of which he (witness) had the key, had Veen broken open. He also found the key of the latter in his desk where he had deposited it on the previous evening. James Lea, an officer of this establishment, from informa tion he had received, apprehended the prisoners on suspi cion of being concerned in the robbery mentioned by the last witness, but he had not sufficient time as yet afforded him to make out the case against them. Mr. Clarkson observed that the officer must state some grounds to justify the Magistrates in detaining the prisoners for the time required. Lea said that through having found in the possession of the prisoner Jourdan a receipt for 100/. deposited in the banking-house of Messrs. Western and Young, in the Bo rough, in the name of John Leary, he had been enabled to ascertain that on the 27th of November, 1834, .the very day on the night of which the robbery had been committed, a female, who passed as the wife of the prisoner Jourdan, deposited in the same banking-house 400/. in cash. At that time Jourdan resided in Stangate-street, Lambeth, and went by the name of Leary, and represented himself as a jeweller. He subsequently removed to White Hart row, Kennington, when he resumed his real name, but re presented himself as an American merchant ; and while there, both himself and the female before named had at different times deposited and drawn out as much as 1,100/. at different times. On comparing the sums which were banked after the robbery with the period at which some of the stolen notes were changed, both on the Continent and in the country, he found them to correspond, and he had no doubt he should be able at another time to prove that the former was the produce of the latter. Other circum stances, such as the persons of the prisoners, Jourdon and Sullivan, answering the description which he had received CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held in the Board room of Middlesex Hospital before Mr. Stirling, on view of the body of John Robinson, thirty-four years of age, who committed suicide by throwing himself out of a secend floor window. Mr. Ellis, surgeon of Great Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, deposed that the decased laboured under severe fever, with occasional attacks of delirium, and was in a very distressed state. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Derange. ment." Yesterday evening an Inquest was held in the Committee room of Newgate before Mr. Payne, on view of the body of Harriet Kncrwles, 24 years of age, a convict in the above prison, who died of a broken heart. The deceased was admitted into the Infirmary imme diately after her trial and conviction at the Central Crimi nal Court, on the sth of November last. The unfortunate young woman was labouring under violent mental anguish, caused, no doubt, by her unhappy situation. She wept day and night, obtaining no rest, and refusing all sustenance. Notwithstanding all efforts she gradually sank, and died on Tuesday. On a post-mortem examination there was no appearance to account for death. The organic powers were healthy. The deceased was tried at the Central Criminal Court for robbing her mistress, was found guilty, and sen tenced to seven years' transportation. Previous to the offence for which she was convicted she had borne a good character, and her friends were creditable hard working persons. A verdict was then returned, " That the deceased died a natural death, accelerated by severe mental affliction." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. B.—The Market has been dull to-day. In the morning there was literally nothing doing. About noon there was some ac tivity, but the sales will not exceed 1,500 bags. Scarcely any thing but American w sold at lid. a 10id. The Metropolita❑ Publishers announce an unusual number of new books for the forthcoming season—an evi dence, at least, that literature is not at so low an ebb as has been represented.—Saunders and Ottley have just put forth Mr. Bulwer's new work, " Rienzi, the last of the Tribunes ;" " Mr. Grattan's new tale, " Agnes de Mans feldt ;" " My Aunt Pontypool," a novel of life and charac ter ; " Japhet in Search of a Father," by the Author of the inimitable " Peter Simple" and " Jacob Faithful." INCENDIARY FIRES IN KENT.—Saturday night the parsonage barn, in the occupation of Mr. Stephen Wafter, at Marden, was discovered to be on fire. The barn con tained 140 quarters of corn, and when the alarm was first given it was burning in two places. The building and the whole of the corn was entirely consumed. There is no doubt of this fire having been wilfully occasioned, and cer tain persons are suspected. The property was insured in the Norwich Union.—A fire was also discovered a few hours after the above in the stackyard of Mr. Adams, of Nettlestead. The alarm was given by a labouring man, who said that at the time it broke out he was under a hedge. Great praise is due to the neighbours, who, by great exer tions, succeeded in preventing the fire from communicating with the adjoining stacks. The man who gave the alarm was apprehended, taken before Alderman Lucas, and re manded for a week for further evidence. The property was insured in the Kent office.—A stubble-stack, belonging to Mrs. Elphick, of Horsmonden, who had some property burnt recently, the insurance on which bad been but a few days overdue, was discovered to be on fire on Sunday night. The stack adjoined some farm-buildings, but the fire was confined to the stack, and got under without doing further mischief. It is supposed to have been wilfully fired. EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER.—A s erious acci dent occurred at Law Colliery on Wednesday evening last. About eight o'Clock Mrs. Russell had occasion to go to the garret abase, to put sonic bed clothes in a chest there, in which ten pounds of blast powder had been deposited. The light she held in her hand fell into the powder, and in a mo ment the house was a roogess ruin —doors, windows, loft, and various articles of household furniture, were completely blown to atoms. It is remarked that no part of the loft remained entire but that on which Mrs. Russell lay. No lives have been lost, but Mrs. Russell lies in a very dan gerous state, one of her legs being broken and the other dis located ; some of her ribs are broken and otherwise injured. In the ktchen below where some girls were sowing, the table at which they were was blown to fragments, yet they suf fered little or no injury ; a boy had his bonnet blown off, but escaped unhurt.—Edinburgh courant. HOME-MADE WINES —Home-made wine is a much less perfect liquor than the wines of the Continent. They contain more sugar, more mucilage, and often a proportion of uncombined spirit. For although ale and porter, and foreign wines, in a state of purity, contain spirit, and de pend on the spirit for their stimulating and intoxicating qualities, yet the spirit is in a state of combination, and not in a state of simple mixture, with the other ingre dients. The consequence of this is, that a given quantity of stronger foreign wine, a wine, in fact, which contains more spirit, may be taken without intoxication, than a similar quantity of some British wines, that are weaker, could be taken without such a result.—Magazine of Do mestic Economy. . INDIAN HORSEMANSHIP.--There is nothing upon which Indians pride themselves more than their horseman ship. Almost living in the saddle, they are as much at ease when mounted as when sitting upon the floor of their own lodge. Many a time I have seen two or three urchins beset some unfortunate horse while quietly dozing and ruminating upon -the prairie. After sundry coaxings and efforts, they would succeed in mounting upon its back, and then, without saddle or bridle„ and with a whoop and yell that terrified the startling steed into a full gallop, they would scamper madly along, clinging to his mane and to each other with a tenacity which would have astonished any one but an Indian.—The Junior Irving's Indian Sketches. BOTTLES.—It is somewhat extraordinary that the Legislature in enacting laws relative to weights and mea sures, should have excluded any particular size for bot tles. The public are daily defrauded, and that to a consi derable extent, by wine and other liquors being sold in picked bottles, six to the gallon imperial measure. A re spectable housekeeper, the other day, purchased a gallon of spirits, which was sent home to him in six bottles. The bottles were emptied in one gallon, imperial measure, and a deficiency of one pint was discovered. This species of fraud and loss will be practised until a legislative enactment be passed, enforcing bottles of every description to be in uni formity with other standard measures. B RIB ERY.—The approaching municipal elections are exciting intense interest in all classes of our •fellow citizens. The true friends of Bristol are labouring with an ardour every way worthy of the noble cause in which they have embarked, and its worst enemies—those whose mise rable policy is visible in its decayed commerce, and in a thousand other effects consequent on their selfish, narrow policy, are also labouring, in their vocation, that they might succeed in perpetuating their baneful, noxious influence. The fact has just now come to our knowledge of their having actually bargained with a family, in which there are some votes to be gained, to bestow on a member of that family a situation in the New Police as the price of their submitting to vote for the Tory candidates in a certain Ward ; and this, we doubt not, is but one of many similar instances in which they have not scrupled to resort to the most unjustifiable means in order to accomplish their ends. —Bristol Mercury. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS.— Yesterday the Committee of City Lands assembled in Guildhall, pursuant to adjournment, to receive evidence re lating to the supply of water in the metropolis, with the view of founding upon it a report, to be delivered to the Court of Common Council, upon this important subject. Returns were made to the Committee from the different wards relative to the supply, the quality, and the charges imposed by the New River Company for water to the in habitants. A number of returns were read, and all the questions propounded answered by some, and others par tially, by the precinct officers. In some districts there ap peared to be no cause of complaint" ; in others, they were very trifling, while some loudly complained of the supply and quality. After a desultory conversation, and the hear ing of some evidence on the subject, the further proceed ings were adjourned to Tuesday next. ANCESTORIAL PRIDE. —In the castles and palaces of the ancient nobility of France, the tapestry frequently presents memorials of their pride of ancestry.

Yesterday afternoon an unusual number of the members of St. Pancras Vestry met at the Vestry-room, Gordon square, for the purpose of receiving the report of a Com mittee appointed to inquire into the circumstances con nected with the apprehension of two of the vestrymen of St. Marylebone, on a charge of conspiracy. Mr. Church warden Cook took the Chair. On the motion being carried, that the business of the day be proceeded with, the Vestry-clerk read the report of the Chairman of the Committee. " To the Worshipful his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, in their General Sessions of the Peace assembled. " The Memorial of the Vestry of the Parish of Saint Pancras, in the same County, " Sheweth, " That, in the opinion of your memorialists, James Bradshaw, the High Constable of the Hundred of Ossul ston, in this county, has been guilty of gross oppression in the execution of certain warrants entrusted to him, as yvill appear from the following facts : " A true bill was found by the Grand Jury, at three o clock on the 23d ult., against Messrs. Kensett, Davy, and others, for a conspiracy in reference to the insertion of certain names on a list of claimants as voters for the county, prepared by the Overseers of Mary-le-bone. A Judge's warrant was immediately , obtained, and at five o'clock on the same' day Mr, Bradshaw, in company with a clerk of Mr. Scadding, the Attorney, called at the house of Mr. Kensett, of Mortimer -street, and in a harsh manner took him into custody. Mr. Kensett was forthwith taken before a magistrate, at High-street, Marylcbone, who, when pressed to require 48 hours' notice Of bait, refused to ac quiesce in such demand as vexations and unnecessary, and remonstrated with the officer on the mode of executing the warrant, cautioning him against similar conduct in appre hending the other parties. " Notwithstandinc , such caution, it appears that on the same night, at ten o'clock, t' some one called at the house of Mr. Davy, in Gilbert-street, and told him that he was wanted on pressing business at the Court-house in Maryle bone. It must be observed, that • Mr. Davy was about going to bed, and not in a good state of health. On his arrival at the Court-house, Bradshaw took him into cus tody, and delivered him over to the Inspector on duty at the police station-house, which adjoins the Court-house, giving , strict injunction to take special care of him, as he was ap prehended on a Judge's warrant, and on a most serious charge. He was consequently locked up in one of the dark and filthy cells appropriated to the abandoned felons, and there kept until the next morning at eleven o'clock. None of his family in the mean time being allowed to hold any communication with him. He was then taken before the Magistrates at High-street, who admitted him forthwith to bail, and again remonstrated with Bradshaw for his con duct, more particularly after the warning he had given him the previous morning. Bradshaw's only answer to such re monstrance was, that he acted under the special instruc tions of his employers, whom he refused to name. " It must be observed that Mr. Kensett has been for many years a respectable housekeeper in Mortimer -street, and is a Vestryman and Guardian of the Poor of St. Mary le-bone parish ; that Mr. Davy has been many years a re spectable housekeeper in Gilbert-street, Oxford-street ; and that the latter gentleman was only implicated in the way of his business, he being employed by the Vestry of St. Mary-le-bone to print the li§t ; that both gentlemen stood so high in the opinions of their neighbours that they had no difficulty, when the opportunity occurred, of procuring the most responsible bail for their appearances. Your memorialists therefore urgently request that your Worships will be pleased to institute an immediate investi gation into the conduct of the said James Bradshaw, the High Constable appointed by your Worships ; and should the facts be proved to your satisfaction, that you will take the necessary steps to remove from all authority a man capable of being influenced in the performance of his duty by party spirit, and place in his situation some one more capable of appreciating the value of humanity and justice. "And your memorialists, &c.” Mr. MURPHY now moved that the memorial be si g ned by the Chairman and the Vestry Clerk on b e half of the Vestry, and that it be forwarded to the proper authorities. The motion having been seconded, was ultimately carried COURT OF ASSIZE, LOWER ALPS MURDER OF A MAN BY HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. —A crime of the most horrible nature was lately com mitted in the arrondissement of Forcalquier, namely, the murder of a man by his own children with the sanction of their mother. They were all brought up to take their trial at this Court,, and were placed in the dock all in a row. They appeared greatly dejected, and their coun tenances much fallen. The name of the murdered man was Joseph Rizou, and the names of the prisoners —Jean Baptiste Paul Rizou, 28 ; Joseph Rizou, 23 ; Francoise Madeline Rizou, 31 ; Law rence Victoire Rizou, 26 ; and Maria Madeline Rizou, 28 ; and Vial Virginie—the last-mentioned prisoner was the wife of the deceased. • The following are the facts of the case :—Joseph Rizou, with his family, consisting of the before-mentioned indivi duals, was a farmar residing in the commune of Revest de-Bion, arrondissement de Forcaiquier. Everything like good harmony had long ceased to „exist in this unhappy family. Under the pretext that their father did not manage the farm well, his children had shown a desire to take it into their own hands. But this he resisted, and each next claimed a share of the stock ; but the unfortunate man, who at length fell a victim to the cu pidity of his children, maintained his right either to keep or dispose of the whole, as he might think proper. From these differences arose daily quarrels, and Rizou had often been heard by his neighbours to complain of the heartless ness of his children, whom he described as " tigers," de claring it to be his belief that they would one day take his life. " You will hear one of these days," said he on one occasion, " that they have cut off my head." The fears of the unfortunate Rizou were unhappily but too well founded. On the 28th of June last, he having refused to make a division of the property among his family, in the presence of a notary, as they wished him, they resolved, amongst themselves, to make away with him ; and the execution of their horrible project, was fixed for the ensu ing day. On the 29th of June, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, the unhappy man was suddenly alarmed by their entering his bed-room, and seizing upon his person for the purpose of putting into execution the horrible deed which they had the day before planned. The eldest son took his arms and tied them behind him. His wife then held his hands, to prevent his making any effort to disen gage himself ; and his daughter held his legs, whilst the eldest son put a rope, with a noose to it, round his neck, which, having drawn tight, he gave him a heavy blow on the back of his head, and then drew him up by the rope. In about two minutes the poor man was lifeless. The 'body was next carried into another apartment, his night-clothes taken off, and he was dressed in clothes in which it was in tended to bury him. A cravat was put round his neck, in order to conceal the marks of the rope, and the neighbours were then called in, and told that Rizou had been found dead in his bed. The family of murderers supposed that they had fixed on a very favourable time for the destruction of their parent ; that no eye had seen them, and that they should now escape with impunity. In this, however, they were deceived ; a girl named Therese Blanc, employed on the farm as a shepherdess, was tending her flock in the neigh bourhood just before the murder was committed, and being thirsty went to the house to get something to drink. When she entered she heard a great noise and confusion up stars, and not being able to conceive what could be the caus of the unusual occurrence at so early an hour, went up there and beheld the wretched children in the very act of strangling the author of their being, at the instigation and in the presence of their mother ! Their consternation was very great at being thus discovered ; but, in order to secure the silence of the young girl, a promise of marriage was instantly made to her by one of the sons ; and the other declared that if his brother should fail in his promise, he would marry her himself. Whether they showed a disposi tion to break their promise, or whether Theresa determined not to have any participation in their guilt, is not exactly known ; but she afterwards gave information of the murder to the Mayor, and is the principal witness against the pri soners at the trial. The defence is that the deceasedhanged himself, and that he was cut down by his family, but not until it was too late to save his life. The trial, which has excited a most lively sensation, has not yet terminated, but there is little doubt as to what will be its result. ROMAN REMAINS.---It is stated that the remains of three columns have been recently discovered on the north side of Westgate-street, Gloucester, the architecture of which seems'to indicate that this might be the site of the pretorium of that Roman station. TITHES AND RENTS.—Colonel Conolly, one of the redoubtable champions of the tithe-fed establishment, and heroes of, Orangeland, who would sacrifice his life in defence of the Church, has been paying the penalty of his fatuity and intolerance. He and his newspaper puffers cried out " wolf," when there was no danger, and now the wolf has come to their great consternation. When rents were well paid, the Orange faction raised an infamous cry that in Ireland there was a resistance made to the claims of the landlord as well as of the parson. This was, of itself, enough to realise the Orange fiction. But Stanley's pN cious bill went farther. It blended the accursed tax which Ireland abhors, with rents which the people were willing to pay—and now we behold the necessary consequence.— Dublin Freeman. THE MARKETS.
