SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Radical papers are stupid or uncandid enough to persist in misconstruing the declaration of Sir C. M. Sutton, after their version of it has been expressly and pointedly denied on the word of the Right Hon. Gen tleman himself, who states in language the plainest and most authoritative, that although he " knew of the ap pointments of the Duke of Wellington, the Chancel lor, and Sir R. Peel, in common with the public, he never advised, nor was consulted, nor in any way inter ered about them." The treatment of the Right Hon. Gentleman by the organs of party is of a piece with that which he experienced from the chiefs of party ; but it is as nothing. The fate and fortunes, the character and wrongs, of individuals, however unoffend ing 'or meritorious, are less than nothing, when put alongside of those considerations which force them selves upon our minds with reference to the na tional interests, and which lead us to the . melan choly conviction, that if the course just entered upon be persevered in by the small majority of the House of Commons, which, however ill compounded, and ill cal culated to legislate wisely or impartially for the nation, is still, nevertheless, the actual majority of that assem bly—that if, we say, those who voted Mr. Abercromby into the Chair shall move onward in the same spirit, and make laws with the same sort of patriotism which has directed their concoction of a Speaker, we have, indeed, arrived at " the beginning of the end ;" though not in the sense of the poor " limitary" lordling who misapplied the expression at a recent assembly. We defy any man who has head upon his shoulders, and not a wooden block—we defy any man who has a living heart within him, and not a pulse impelled only by the mechanism of miserable faction, to feel other wise than dismayed when he contemplates the natural and fast-approaching consequences of last Thursday's proceedings. The party-chosen Speaker may, for aught we know, before three days shall expire, have to present to his Sovereign a party-amendment to the Address ; and what, under the actual circumstances of the Government, the House of Commons, and the country, can be —nay, what must he—the. character and object of an amendment originating with such a party ? Its object avowedly will be to get the Minis ters dismissed, or to wring from them their' resignation of office. Its character, therefore, must be of unusual violence, and its form must be either-1. That of a declaration that the present Ministers of the Crown labour under the distrust of Parliament, and will not have its support, thereby entailing on his Majesty the odium of retaining his Ministers in defiance of Parlia ment, or upon them the obligation of at once resigning. 2. That of introducing into the Address one or more clauses declaratory of a will on the part of the House of Commons to pursue a course of measures so far beyond any limit of change in the action or in the frame of our institutions that the existing Government could conscientiously accede to, as by that means to extort its resignation. The latter expedient of attempt ing to pledge a Ministry to measures obviously at vari ance with their known principles of policy, is a fre quent practice with even a weak Opposition. It must he still more tempting to a strong one. But neither experiment can succeed so as to prevent Ministers from submitting to Parliament through the King's speech, and explaining minutely through their own commen taries upon it, the whole programme of their political system, including all those measures of ecclesiastical, corporate, and civil reform, by which they must expect to signalize their administration, and through the suf ficiency of which to satisfy the intelligence and pro perty of their countrymen, and nothing else, they could, from the first, have hoped to remain one week in office after the meeting of Parliament. If the Opposition were capable of sympathising with the better class of independent Englishmen, it would approve a reasonable and well-digested scheme of Reform when proposed by the advisers of the Crown. But if, as is to be feared, the parties composing the Opposition, though in their hearts approving moderate measures, will give support to none but such as shall promise their own return, this tremendous consequence will follow—viz., that to force Ministers out of office an amendment must be proposed, so sweeping - in its Reform pledges, as when those pledges come to be fulfilled must go much further than any but the most furious Members of the combined Opposition would in their secret mind wish to have adopted, yet such as in virtue of such formal pledges cannot remain unac complished without ruin to the party which has ten dered them. It would seem, therefore, that the simplest, and in the eyes of party, the most seducing, because the most deCidedly hostile, mode of operating against Ministers on the address will be resorted to—that is to say, an amendment importing want of confidence, and praying his Majesty to dismiss them. It will no doubt be a daring, reckless, and desperate course. It will prove the Opposition to have no com punction ; perhaps in the sequel it may prove them to be equally wanting, as would the former class of amend ment, in common discretion and sagacity. For in what a light will such a transaction exhibit the Whig Ra dicals to the independent men in Parliament ? and should they be bitten by too close a contact with the former, how will the country look upon the whole mass ? The contrast between a Ministry prepared to introduce and execute extensive measures of general reform, but vainly calling upon the representatives of the people to accept them, and an opposition shutting their ears at once to every thing but own restoration to a power which it has already demonstrated its glaring incapacity to administer for the public good, or to the respect and satisfaction of the people, would afford an opportunity too tempting to be lost for making a last and solemn appeal to the constituency of the empire to save the State from ruin. Nor to the electors of England at least do we ap• prehend that such an appeal would be made in vain. If, without the least reference to persons, we take the division of Thursday last as an index of the spirit predominating throughout the English representation, as contradistinguished from the Scotch arid Irish, we find by a contemporary that 247 English Members voted for Sir C. M. Sutton, and for Mr. Abercromby 224: thus yielding a majority for the former of 23, while the Scotch Representatives were as 32 to 17 in favour of their countryman, still leaving S:r Charles a decided majority upon the whole British representa tion. The question, therefore, was determined by O'Connell and his regiment, against the united voice of Great Britain. He brought 60 votes against 42 who voted for the former Speaker. Were we wrong, therefore, in long since since declaring that this revo lutionist would be all powerful with a Whig-Radical Ministry ? Did we deceive our readers in stating that the policy of a Whig-Radical Cabinet would bear the unerring impress of his anti-union politics ? Or that, if it came to be a question with the Whigs whether Ireland should be divorced from the. empire, or they from office, did we err in pronouncing what the answer would be ?—Times. The first great struggle is over—Sutton is turned out, as he deserved to be, both in point of principle and in point of conduct—and Abereromby is seated in the Chair of the House of Commons, not simply as a tribute to his individual merit, but as a proof that the present Administration is detested, and that the country has no confidence in it. The question of the Speaker ship was one of the worst on which the Liberal party could have tried its strength with the Tories and the Conservatives of all abuses in Church and State. There were many who voted for Sir Charles Manners Sutton, as a gentleman, and a private individual, in every respect estimable, who detest him and his party to an extent which we will not undertake to mention ; and there are many men who kept in the back-ground, in so far as he was concerned, who will come forward to morrow to declare that they have no confidence in men who opposed the Reform Bill in all its stages, and who, if they be honest and consistent, must be opposed to its fruits. This is as it should be. In the nineteenth century, we trust it is not to be told to the people of England, that they are-L-what is almost a contradic tion in terms—to have good measures—honest mea sures—from bad and dishonest men. England has hitherto Been the polar star of morality as well as of freedom—and is her light to be quenched in darkness by the fraction of a faction ? The only question which is now to be solved, after the vote of Thursday last, is—when wiill the Tories resign ? Thei r d e f ea t u p on the Speakership—a question most favourable to them, and most unfavourable to the Liberals, inasmuch as many well-meaning men voted for Sir Charles Manners Sutton from personal feelings, who would have been ashamed to appear in the Tory ranks upon any other question—is not, it seems, enough for them !--they want another trial—a trial upon the Address—and they shall have it, and no mistake. Peel, yesterday, in walking towards Charing cross, and no doubt to chapel, where he has much need to say his prayers, and ought to say his prayers, and ought to say them, after the alarm, agitation, and excitement into which his acceptance of office has thrown the country, exhibited an expression of coun tenance which H. B. might put into print, but which it is impossible to describe. Pale—haggard—care worn—disappointed—sick at heart—ill at ease with himself—and, in justice let us add—for we shall be impartial—scornful of those who had defeated and trampled upon him—and yet anxious to show courage in the midst of defeat I but we leave him, re arettina that he has thrown not only his business 0 0 talents, but his principles, into the hands of a faction, which uses him as one of its tools—does not appreciate his merits, small as they are—and with which, within less than a few weeks, he will die a po litical death. The question—the question of all ques tions—is to be tried to-morrow—the question of confi dence or non-confidence in his. Majesty's Ministers. The vote on the Speakership would have rendered it a matter of honour with any honourable Administration to have resigned at once ; but a Tory Government, though corrupt in almost every respect, is sound in one particular—it will stick to office while office is profit able, and to the helm of the vessel while there is a spar left on which the shipwrecked can make their way on shore. There is now in consequence one simple duty to be performed by all true representatives of the people, and that is, to be present in their places to morrow to vote in favour of the amendment to the Ad dress, which the Duke of Welliogton, under the guise —not the direction—of Sir R. Peel, will, through his organs, move in both Houses of Parliament. We learn, with regret, that many Reform Members hrive left town, under the impression that, having voted out Sir Charles Manners Sutton, they had nothing more to do, and that the Ministry would resign as a matter of course. They must return immediately and be present to-marrow. We do not hoist our black flag again ; but every Member absent may gratify him self by anticipation, in being numbered with those who are traitors to themselves—their King, and country. Every constituency ought to look after its Members on this question—and we doubt not, from the number of letters which we have received on the subject, that there will be deputations from almost every part of the United Kingdom, to make sure of the conduct of those who have promised to guard them from the infliction of a Tory Government. We have, however, no fears on the subject. We gave the majority in favour of A bercromby within one of the actual amount of votes —we undertake with equal certainty, that the amend ment to the Address shall be carried.—Morning Ad vertiser. Now that the question of the Speaketship is dis. posed of, we wish to see the real business of the nation commenced. But other struggles of faction are threat- ened to prevent the necessary business of the country being transacted, with the view of forcing back upon the King that section of the Whigs whose misconduct and treachery caused Earl Grey himself to throw up the reins of power in disgust, and to abandon to its folly and its fate the Cabinet of his own formation ; not indeed the original Grey .Cabinet—that had lost all its better and nobler element&—Stanley and Graham, Richmond and Ripon had gone. They had marched in the road of Reform with their colleagues, but they would not accompany them on that which they clearly saw was leading to destruction. After the secession of the ablest and most respectable mem bers of his Cabinet, Earl Grey lingered in his place a short time, fondly imagining that his authority was sufficiently strong, and his band steady to keep the machine of Reform in operation within safe and Con stitutional limits. He was grievously mistaken. He had soon reason to repent of his too credulous confi dence in the good feeling and good faith of the col leagues that remained. His own familiar friends plotted against him. They opened a confidential in tercourse with O'Connell behind his back. The reck less disturber of his country, whom the King's Speech had denounced in the beginning of the Session, be came the adviser, or rather the dictator, of the King's Cabinet before that SesSion terminated. Who can forget the disgraceful scene arising out of that confi dential intercourse, in which Mr. Littleton and the re peal agitator figured in the House of Commons ? Who can forget the scandalous tergiversation of Ministers with.regard to the Coereion Act, and the expunging the clauses against the political agitators. which they had just before declared to be indispensable to the pro tection of the peasantry from the artifices of the dem goguos who excited them to agrarian outrage and crime ? Who can forget the pretended resignation of Loyd Althorp, the real resignation of Lord Grey, and the return of the former to office when he found that the door of the Cabinet was closed on the father of Reform for ever ? Who can forget the bitter tears shed by Lord Grey in the Senate, when, in his fall from power, he felt, as the sterner Roman did, the stab of more than one familiar hand ? But the Whig- Radicals, who would throw the country into a commo tion to bring back those Ministers to power, seem to act upon the presumption that the public have for gotten all those things. Presuming upon that obli vion of their misdeeds it was that Mr. Denison said the Melbourne Ministry had not been tried before it was condemned 1 The section of the Whigs in whose behalf the struggle is now made we need hardly re mind the country, after what we have stated, are only the baser part—the rump of the Grey Cabinet. Inde pendently of their other delinquencies, they were all men who took an active part in forwarding, to the neglect of the real business of the Session, the un christian, inhuman, and unconstitutional Poor Law Amendment Bill, under the operation of which, wherever it is really carried into execution, the cry of the perishing poor goes up to Heaven from all parts of the country. We are not surprised that ;iteli Reformers as Mr. Grote, or Mr. Hawes, or Mr. Hume, who went all lengths—who went, as the Americans say, " the whole hog" in sup port of the Malthusian Bill—we are not surprised that such Reformers as these should strain every nerve to force back again upon the King and country that class of statesmen whom the labourers of England familiarly call the " Workhouse Government." Those pseudo liberals, who wish to establish a - tyranny—the most grinding to the working classes and the poor of all tyrannies—act with consistency in endeavouring to re place the Malthusian Whigs in that position which will enable them to incorporate still more of their un-English and anti-Christian doctrines with the law of the land. It was not in their Poor Law Bill alone they showed their contempt for those unprotected classes of their country men who, not having the elective franchise, are without representatives in Parliament. They lent themselves to the mill-masters in the struggle of humanity against the infant-bondage, the white slavery of the factory-system. They set aside Mr. Sadler's Bill, which Lord Ashley conducted, after the services of its author were lost to the suffering poor of his country. They adopted a Bill suggested by the masters themselves—notwithstanding all the provisions of Mr. Sadler's Bill were sustained by unanswerable evidence, more especially by that of a host of medical witnesses—and now, even the little protection Which the present Factory Bill affords the infant white slaves from the most sordid oppression that ever sacrificed the health and morals of the pour on the altars of Mammon—even that little protection the mill-masters wish to have removed ; and as they generally supported the Whigs at the elections, we have little doubt they will succeed, should those Malthusian politicians recover their loSt power. Can that class of Reformers, - who are liberal not in name only but in principle—who opposed the Poor Law Amendment Bill—who lament its effects and apprehend from a perseverance in the system some destructive con vulsion—can those Reformers, we ask, who really de sire an - amelioration of the condition of the poor, a recognition of the rights, and a restoration of the com forts of the working classes—can they desire th a t th e i r oppressors should have the means of carrying into practice those doctrines which raise inhumanity to the dignity of a science ? We -- should think not. That the Whig Radical Opposition care nothing for the country .or its interests, but that all their energies are directed to the personal and selfish objects of oust ing the Ministry, and obtaining power and place for themselves, they have already made manifest by their opposition to Sir C. Manners Sutton, the most qualified of all men to fill the Chair of the new House of Com mons, but whom 18 years of service, during which his pre-eminent merits were attested b , all parties, could not protect against the efforts of party ravening for power. That they are not at all scrupulous about the means which they adopt to carry their point, was also abundantly , proved by the invention and repetition of calumnies which the authors of them dared not attempt at, the last moment to sustain, but - which were fatally injurious to the slandered party against whom this e . )tem of fraudulent representation was sc long worked. Another proof is now afforded of the " disinterested patriotism" of the Whig-Radicals, and the spirit in which the Opposition mean to evince their regard for the public interests, by the following announcement in the Courier of Saturday evening We are enabled to announce that an amendment to the Address t 3 his Majesty will unquesionably be moved in the liOuse of Commons on Tuesday." The Opposition know nothing at present of the con tents of the Speech from the Throne, of which the Ad dress will be, as usual, an echo. But, knowing no thing of the contents of the Speech, they have resolved, it deems, to move an amendment to the Address, what ever its contents may be. It is quite clear from this pridetermination that if the Speech be such a one as ought to satisfy the reasonable expectations of the country, as to measures -of Reform, it will not satisfy the Whig-Radical Opposition —no, not if it were the speech of an angel. What is this but the passion, the blindness, the fury of faction ? Wiii the good sense and right feeling of the country sulanit to such factious prOceedings ? Will the country allow good measures to beset aside when proffered by Ministers capable of Carrying them into effect, merely because Mr. O'Con nell and Lord John Russell have resolved on having a • political partnership in the loaves and fishes, and oeause the Whigs.will not allow others to car r y into effect those liberal but- safe measures of reforM which, when in power, they had neither the inclination nor the capacity to execute themselves ? We much mistake the country, and the spirit that was evinced throughout England during the late elections, if conduct so plainly ami divracefully factious will raise the Whig-Radicals in public estimation. Even Mr. Walley said the other day, that if Sir Robert Peel bran Jit in sound measures of reform, he would have the ardent support of the people. But it is quite clear that the Whig rump, rather than be out of office, would march to power through paths of destruction and over the ruins of the Constitution.—Morning Herald. :No Member can vote on ih.? Address without having previously taken the oalL. It is indispensable; therefore, that every. Reformer attend and be sworn btforefour o'clock to-nu»Tow, when the debate on, the Address will take place. An amendment will positively be proposed, and the country looks with in tense anxiety to the result. The muster of the Tory corps on the late division will not fail to have been closely examined by the Reformers ; only seven of all that furious faction were absent, and their last struggle of despair will not evince less zeal. The friends of popular rights ought ;iirely to be 'at - least egnally vigilant. Conscientious Reformers will do their duty ;an increased majority in favour - of the amend ment to the Ministerial Address is fully expected ; it will give confidence to the liberal electors, and be a death-blow to the - Tories. The triumph to be gained on this occasion will ensure. practical reforms; through the discomfiture of a party who, having long existed as the greatest scourge to their country, _are now striving, by all possible devices, to regain their dominion. Truth and honesty demand that they shall be treated with the scorn and indignation due to their hypocrisy. —Morning Chronicle. The present Ministers took office by virtue of the Royal prerogative, exercised without any assigned or assignable reason : they proceeded to dissolve a most popular Parliament, in the second year of its exist ence, by a like exercise of sheer prerogative ; and we are now told they are resolved so far to forget their duty and gratitude even to the Crown as to retain their places, in despite of the Commons of England, upon the narrow and invidious basis of royal prerogative. Having ousted a Ministry that had no trial, and that was preparing to effect measures in accordance with well known principles of its Members, these intrusive Ministers now presume to ask for what they call a fair trial, in order, as they promise, that they may effect measures - in direct contradiction to all the - former - prin , ' ciples of their lives. So profligate a Ministry, standing upon grounds so- dangerous an:l so nearly unconstitu tional, has seldom dared to look the country in the face ; and yet it has the effrontery to call those who oppose - it factious. Let them read what Mr. Burke wrote on an occasion infinitely less strong than this ; Iris is a plain doctrine, according to which, " The King is in trusted with the deliberative choice and election to office; the people have the negative in a Parliamentary refusal to support. - Formerly (he says) this power of control was what kept Ministers in awe of Parliaments, and Parliaments in reverence with the people. If the use of this poWer of control on the system and persons of administration is gone, ev er y thi n e- is lost—Parlia , ment and all. ..We may assure ourselves that if Par liament will tamely see evil men take possession of all the strongholds of their country, and allow them time and means to-fortify themseltes, under a pretence of giving them a fair .trial, and upon a hope of disco- 1 vering whether they will not be reformed by powers and whether their measures will not be better than their prinCiples, such a Parliament will give coun tenance to their measures also, whatever that Parlia ment may pretend, and whatever ,those measures may be ." 7 -11:torning Chronicle. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ATTORNEY-GENEP.AL V. GROCER'S COMPANY. This was an action brought to-co7imel the Grocers' Com pany to raise a surn of 4,6204, with interest since 1687, and render it available for the charitable purpose for which it was originally intended. Sir W. HORNE said, that in 1C;37, when a Commission was issued for the purpose of inquiring into the state of the various charitable institutions then existing in London, it appeared that the Grocers' Company had, among other monies, a sum of 4,6201., dep os ited with them, to be lent out at an easy rate of interest to poor members of the Com pany. The Commission decreed that the Company should raise this money in twenty years, -and that till it was raised - it should stand. as a charge on tl:vir property. This was never done, and the intentions of the donors bad been defeated. Sir C. WETHERELL addressed the Court for the defen dants. The case was adjourned. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. HARVIE V. HICKFORD AND OTHERS. This was an action against the defendants, as common carriers, for negligence in the loss of goods sent from Lon don to the defendants' wharf at Liverpool. The defendants pleaded first not guilty ; and, secondiV, that they had pub lished a notice that they would riot he answerable for the loss of any goods directed to be left till called for, for the convenience of the sending the same ; and that there was a particular usage at Liverpool that the consignees of- goods, after notice given them of the arrival of such goods, should send to the carrier's and take them away. The plaintiffs replied and admitted the usage, but averred th a t w ithi n a reasonable time after notice of the arrival of the goods, the plaintiff did send to take them away; but they were then lost. Sir J. CAMPBELL stated the case, and called witnesses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and several witnesses were . called to prove the general knowledge the consignees had of the practice of im mediately sending for the goods on their arrival at the wharf. Sir J. CAMPBELL replied. The - Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 200/. ; observing that they were of opinion that there was not reasonable time to remove the goods on the day th e freight note was delivered. COURT OF COMNIoN PLEAS. MOORE V. DICKINSON. This was an action of assault brought by the plaintiff, a bricklayer, against the defendant, who is in the shoe line. The CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, the .Tury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101. BARKER V. MALCOLM. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 1001., ac cepted by the defendant for the accommodation of an indis , vidual named George Dyer. The bill had originally been drawn at two months' date, but subsequently the word five" was substituted for "two." • The defence was that this alteration invalidated the bill, and the Learned Judge; tlmi‘refore, decided that the daeudant's easy should be first gone into. The bill having been put in, it appeared that it bore the proper stamp for a bill drawn at five months' date. Mr. James Dyer examined by Mr. Sergeant TADDY.— ab was brother to the drawer of the bill, and knew that :Mr. Malcolm was in the habit of accommodating his bro ther with' his acceptances. At the time:the bill in question was accepted, it was made payable two months after date ; but witness, at the desire of his brother, subsequently erased the word " two" and substituted " five," in order to give him more time to provide for it. The alteration was made at his brother's house, in Regent-street. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAs, for the plaintiff, contended that, as gm proper stamp, and the drawer, though in Court, bad not been examined, the Jury, were hound to conclude that the alteration was sanctioned by the defendant. The Tury found a verdict for the plaintiff—A)amAges I opt., and the interest due on the bill. EXCHEQUER COURT. LIBEL.-CLEMITSON V. ADAMS. This was an action to recover damages for a libel pub }dished in the Boston Herald newspaper, of which the de fendant is the proprietor. Mr. CRESSWELL stated that the libel in question was in serted in the defendant's newspaper as an advertisement, and was in the following words :—" `v‘Thereas Peter Cle mitson, of Finsbury-square, London, tea-dealer, has been round to different tenants of James Bayley, jun., to demand their rents under false pretences, this is to give notice, that they are not to pay the same to any person except to the said J. Bayl e y, j un ." Th e L earne d Counsel stated that at the time this advertisement appeared in the defendant's newspaper the plaintiff was traveling in that part of the country where the paper was circulated, collecting orders, and that its publication did him considerable injury among his customers—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 251. SAME V. NEWCOME This was an action against the defendant, as the proprie tor of the Slumlord Mercury, for the publication of the same libel.—Damages 251. STARLING V. COZENS AND OTHERS. • This was an action for an assault committed on the plain tiff by the defendant Cozens and his three sons. The plain tiff and some companions on the 6th of May last were fish ing in the -New River, near a village called Broxburn, in the county of Hertford, when the defendants suddenly came upon them, broke their net, and threw the plaintiff into the river. The plaintiff and his friends were subsequently summoned before the Magistrates ; but neither the defend ant Cozens nor any one in his behalf, appeared to prosecute. The defence was that by the ith and Bth of Geo. IV., c. 29, any persons attempting to take fish in the waters in question was guilty of a misdemeanour, and power was given to the owner of the land, or his servants, through which the river ran, to seize any tackle in the possession of the of fending parties. Now, the land on which the plaintiff had trespassed in this instance was the property of a Mr. Bosanquet.. The eldest of the defendants was the tenant of that gentleman, and under his authority had seized the net at the time used by the plaintiff. The Jury found for the plaintiff on the count for the as s..ult—Damages 51. PREROGATIVE COURT. RUSSELL V. MARRIOTT.-JUDGMENT. Sir H. JENNER gave judgment in this case to-day, which has been argued at considerable length. The question re lated to ; the validity of a paper propounded as a codicil to the will of the late Rev. D. Petteward, Rector of One house and Vicar of Finboroueli in Suffolk. The deceased died a bachelor, leaving onl - two neices, entitled in distri bution in ease of an intestacy ; one married to • Captain Bussell, the party in the suit, and the other to Dr. Terry. The deceased left a real estate of 3,0001., and personal property to the amount of 80,0001. By a will, dated in May. and a codicil in July, 1833, the deceased directed his real estate to be sold and given to the families of his neices.- Of the personal property 7,0001. were to be given to the families of Captain Bussel and Dr. Terry, and after lega cies had been paid to the amount of 4,0001. or 5,0001. the residue was given to Captain Bussel - and Dr. Terry. A codicil to the will increased the legacies to certain -charitie , , but in other respects confirmed the will. In consequence of conversations with the deceased, Dr. Shillito, one of the exe cutors, considered the deceased had left other testamentary papers, and made inquires of the Reverend H. Mar riott, the deceased's Curate, and of Mr. Robert Marriott, but without success. On the 18th of January, 1834, an anonymous letter was received by Mr. Robert Marriott, at Stowmarket, from London, containing a paper, pur porting to be a codicil to the Will of the deceased. The letter stated that the deceased had directed it to be kept secret till some time -after his death, and the codicil was written on a note addressed to Mr. Robert Marriott, with the words " Dear Sir, accept this with the greatest regard. Signed Daniel Petteward." The codicil gave 5001. to Mr: Rust, 5001. to the Rev. H. Marriott, forgave a debt due from Mr. Marriott, and appointed the last named gentleman an executor and a residuary 'legatee. - Mr. R. Marriott was much surprised to find himself so materially benefitted, .and having obtained evidence of the hand-writing of the deceased, applied to Captain Bussell to allow the papers to he, proved with the other testamentary papers of the de ceased. This was refused, as it made so material an altera tion in the distribution under the will. A decree was served upon Mr. Marriott. to prove the phper which was not before the C our t, and which was unattested. It was th e universally admitted principle that evidence of handwriting alone was not sufficient to establish a paper without some thing to connect -it with the - 'deceased. Here there was nothing of the kind, and the Court was bound, therefore, to pronounce against the paper, and, as costs were pressed, with costs. The Court, however, could not impute any improper conduct to Mr. R. Marriott, who had been called upon to prove the paper.. The codicil was pronounced against, and with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILD-h ALL. _Several inhabitants of Fleet-street were summoned for re fusing to pay the church rate. It appeared that they were dissatisfied that the notice of the Vestry Meeting was not sent to the house of each parishioner. Mr. Beck said that if the parishioners had had fair notice when the rate was made they would have attended and upset it, as had happened in many other places. The building of the new church had cost the extravagant sum of 51,000/. A parishioner asked if it were true that the Bishop of Lon don had given 10,0001. to liquidate the old debts of the church. Mr.. Westcott said he was not bound to answer the question, but he knew nothing about it. In all the cases payment was ordered to be enforced. UNION-HALL. Edward Yates, of Pearl-row, Newington, was summoned for selling an - u ns t ampa d pape r, ca ll e d the - Week% Police Gazette. On the defendant's name being called 11,~ did not answer, upon which the Magistrates proceeded with the case in his absence, and call e d an officer.to prove the service of the sum mons on the defendant. A person named Edward Edmonds produced the summons, and said• that it was placed ia his hands by the defendant, who requested him to attend at this ofice for -him. Stowell, an officer of stamps, stated that on Sunday the 25th of January he purchased the paper produced, and called the Weekly Police Gazette, of the defendant, at . his shop in Pearl-row. The following Sunday the witnesS . purchased an other paper of a similar- description at the defendant's - shop. The Magistrates convicted the defendant, and adjudged him to pay a fine of 201. Samuel Godwin, who pleaded guilty to a similar offence, was fined-101. IRELAND. (From the Dublin Evening Mail of Friday.)

It is believed by men in high stations, that the Duke and Sir Robert will try the desperate experiment of solving Parliament again, if they cannot get on with the present House of Commons. Whether they would or could do this, if Parliament should refuse to grant them supplies, or to pass the Mutiny. Act, may be doubted, as there would scarcely be time for a new election before money would be. absolutely wanted to carry on the goverumet. )3ut supposing the Mutiny Ac and the suppli es grante d , and that yet the House of passed, and should be ve r y impra c ti ca bl e , t h e Minis tersto may try the chance of another dis so l u ti on b e f ore the sum mer Let the Reformers, theref ore , is over. stand upon their guard. NAVAL JNTELLIGENCE• ( From the Pevonport Independent.). DEVONPORT, Fun. 21.—The Nautilus, 10, Commander Right Hon. Lord G. Paulett, arrived on Saturday, and came into harbour on Monday to be refitted. The Blazer, steamer, • LieutenatA d. Pearce, arrived on Saturday, from Chatham, and on the same day the Salamander, Coin. Castles ; from Portsmouth, with the detachment of MM-ines lately serving- on board the Britannia. The Salamander started aerain on Monday, for Portsmouth, having o n b oar d th e Marines from the Talavera. Th , S Blaier steam vessel is waiting. orders. It is reported that she will take out Sir Robert Wilson and suite to the I,nian Islands. The - African sailed on Wednesday for Falmouth, to take out the next Malta mail. The Duck lighter arrived on Wednesday from Sheerness, after a boisterous passage of five weeks. During her voyage the cabin-boy was washed overboard ; the body has since been picked up and interred in Deal church-yard. The Pique, Hon. Captain Rous, is ordered to Spithead. It is believed she will relieve the Castor at Lisbon. Ire Hamoaze—San Josef, Dublin, Rover, Nautilus, Blazer steam vessel, Industry naval transport, Ducl; lighter. In the Sound—Romney. The Admiralty have directed that in future no Purser shall hold the situation of Clerk in charge of his Majesty's vessels. Pursers now in steamers, and other small craft, acting as Clerks, will, therefore, be immediately superseded, and their appointments given to old and deserving classes. An Admiralty order has been issued that, after the present year, no more prizes are to be given for chronometers depo sited for trial at the Royal Observatory. It has been a prac tice, for the last fourteen or fifteen years, to receive at the Observatory a certain number of chronometers, the rates of which were regularly registered by one of the assistants ; and at the end of a twelvemonth that chronometer whose rate had been most equable entitled its owner to a prize of 3001., the_ second best to 2001., and the third to 150/., Government re. taining the instruments for these respective sums. The effect of this has been, to produce an excellence in chronometers which probably no other means would have inured. Its im mediate consequence has been to secure for his Majesty navy the finest timepieces in the world; and as the lives of a thou sand men, and property of the value of 100;000/. in many in stances, depend on the excellence of one of these instruments of navigation, the object that has been obtained by the insti tution o prizes is one of the highest national importance.

Professor Silliman's American Journal contains an account of a couple of cat fish caught in a shrimp net, off the coast of Carolina, in August, 1833, and joined together exactly in the same manner as the Siamese boys. One was 31 the other 21 inches long ; the latter emaciated. Each fish was perfect; and though there was a hollow in the integument by which they were united, the viscera were entirely distinct. They appeared to be able to swim side by side in the natural way. MATTHIAS THE PROPHET.—The Grand Jury of the West-Chester county, after a laborious and protracted examination, came into Court, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, with a true bill of indictment against Robert Matthews, alias .Mathias, for the murder of Elijah Pierson, in August last. The prisoner was thereupon put to the bar, and the indictment read to him, consisting of the following counts, viz :----First count charges the prisoner with poisoning the deceased by means of arsenic ; second count, with poisoning him with sonic metallic substance unknown to the "Jury ; third count, with causing the poison to be administered by some other person unknown to the Jury ; fourth count, with having caused the deceased to die of staration • fifth count, with forcibly p revent i ng proper nursing and attendance being administered to the deceased, while sick, in consequence of which the deceased came to his death. The cause was adjourned until the next Term of Oyer and Terminer, and the prisoner remanded to his ce ll, The prisoner listened to the indictment with an expression of intense curiosity; his stern features somewhat relaxing into a contemptuous smile .whenever the phrase occurred of his being instigated by the devil, und also - durin the reading of th e second count, wherein he is charged wit'ia having administered a metallic substance unknown to the jury. He was, however, evidently better pleased with the language of the Counsel in his defence, than by the recital of the . heavy charges agaius him by his accuser,--,Arew York Jour na l of Commerce.

The result of the victory of the Refor7aers in the election of Speaker, when made known li l 3fistol, was received with great cheering and delight ; the bells of some of the churches gave a merry pea. `lle brutal and demoralizinn practice of prize-fight leg has found its way across the Atlantic, and is now in fell, feather and repute among„our transatlantic brethren. One 01 these exhibitions is described in these accounts as having takes place at Hoboken, in the State of New Jersey. The com batants, one an Englishman, the other an American, fought an hour, and were carried away in a state of insensibility, co vered with gore, wounds, bruises, and " glory." We are not informed to whom the palm of victory was awarded, but we are told that this " turn-up" proved so satisfactory, and afforded such infinite amusement, that another was arranged to take place the Saturday following. The scene selected for this second display is appropriately named the Elysian fields. Some peaceably-disposed persons in the neighbourhood in formed the Justice of the district of the intended breach of the peace, and an officer was accordingly despatched to disperse the crowd. His mission, however, proved so unwelcome to the belligerents and their friends, that they fell upon bum tooth and nail, and had it not been for the timely arrival of an effi cient force, headed by the Justice himself, his I;_`,:e would pro bably have been sacrificed.
