SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A meeting has been held at Edinburgh, for the purpose of passing resolutions declaratory of destesta tion of Popery, and the determination to use every exertion to prevent the spreading of Roman Catholic doctrines. To illustrate the decency and prudence of this sort of proceeding, let us for a moment suppose that a meeting were held in some part of Ireland, for the purpose of passing resolutions declaratory of detestation of the Established Church, and the determi nation to use every exertion to prevent the spreading of the Protestant religion. We ask, what would be the state of the empire, if the Catholics were to retaliate upon their assailants, and meet them with counter-mani festations of hatred ? What would be the condition of our country, if every religious sect were to raise its standard (for that is the favourite martial term), and declare its abhorrence of other faiths ? Surely an obervance of the divine rule, to do as we would be done by, would have forbidden the zealots in the north from meeting to express their detestation of the reli gion of nearly one-third of the people of the United Kingdom. We say, that such conduct was the con duct neither of sincere Christians nor of good subjects. If such an example were followed, religion would be manifested, not in peace and holiness, but in hate of other creeds, and society would be distracted by raging sects. Is there, we ask, no better—no more suitable —no more Scriptural way for men to set forth their attachment to their faith, than by declaring an exter minating war—hoisting the black flag, as it were, against the faith of others ? Did Christianity make its pro g ress by any such practice? Do we find in thGospel any example or authority for detesting, branding, and exterminating ? The Scotch are eminently an orderly, a moral, and a religious pe6- ple, and they must feel that one of their Churches was desecrated in the worst way—desecrated by the foulest spirit--by the spirit - most alien to Christianity—when an assembly was held in it for the express purpose of manifesting detestation of the faith of many millions of people. The council of an inquisition was the suitable place for this sentiment, and an inquisition, once the reproach of the Catholics, would seem to be the instru ment best adapted to the objects which the " No Popery" brawlers have in view. At the degrading exhibition of bigotry in Edinburgh, the Rev. Mr. Cunningham expressed himself as follows : "We are told that we are raising the No Popery' cry, which is said to he unworthy of men of sense. We are not ashan.ed to say that we are raising the ' No Popery' cry, be. cause it is the cry that resounds through the whole word of God, especially through the whole book of the Revelation of John, and it is thn.same cry which was raised and persevered in by Luther and knox, and it must be the cry of all sincere and zealous Christians. It is the cry of the murdered saints for revenge on their Popish murderers. In consequence of the course of conduct which we mean to pursue, it is not un likely that I may have future opportunities of addressing my fellow-townsmen in regard to this subject. We have now re solved to raise a - protest against Popery, and that protest shall be urged over the whole empire. We have uVurled the ban ner of Protestantism, and we are determined to elevate it on high until Popery, mith its ten thousand curses, and plagues, and abominations, has been expelled from our land, and we will not cease urging forward this cry until it has ascended .rom every corner of the kingdom." This language. is plain enough. There is no mis taking the import of the words, or the spirit clothed in them. The Rev. Mr.Cunninghain is a clear inter preter, and the cry of " No popery" is, as he expldinr, a cry for revenge—and this cry, " the cry for re venge,' was raised in a Chi istain Church, in the se cond quarter of the nineteenth century ! " The inur cle;ed saints," says Mr. Cunningham, " cry for re venge on their Popish murderers." "Where, we would fain know, does this Reverend Gentleman learn that revenge is saintly—nay, more, where does he find that it is Christain ? It may perfectly consist with the No Popery zealotry—but it certainly cannot be reconciled to Christianity. Again, we ask, what would be the state of society, if the Catholics, meriting the charge of intolerance which our most intolerant agi tators -prefer against them, were to meet this war whoop with the same savage strain ? How abhorred 'would be the spirit of anv Catholic in Ireland, who, substituting Catholicism - for Protestantism, were to Teak the language uttered without shame by the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, in a church dedicated to the religion -which inculcates peace and good-will among . men ? let us present the words with such alteration, and ima g ine what the effect of them would be — We ;lave unfurled the banner of Catholicism, and we are determined to elevate it on high, until Protestantism, with its ten thousand curses and plagues and abominations, has been expelled from our land, and we will not cease urging forward this cry, midi it - has ascended from every corner of the kingdom." How justly exasperated would the people of Great Britain be by a declaration so fiercely intolerant, and how dangerous would the spirit which received it with cheers be deemed ? We have then only to make the case of the Catholics our own, for one instant, and to ask whether the peace of society can be preserved if these atrocious provocations are not rebuked in the most marked way by the temperate and the reasonable, who happily constitute the great bulk of the commu nity ? As for the bigot agitators at Edinburgh, headed by Mr. O'Sullivan, the itinerant firebrand, they only want a Lord George Gordon, which, fortunately, even the Peerage cannot afford them. In the last century they might, in the blaze of the capital, and the destruc tion of Catholic property, have worked the "revenge" -which they believe to be desired by murdered saints.-- Morning Chronicle. We have not, for a long time past, observed any thivg so shocking as the exhibitions of Mr. Coke of Norfolk is allowed to make of himself in public. At an age when few even of the strongest minded men (and Mr. Coke never belonged to that class) continue in the possession of their faculties, he is' permitted to go abroad unattended, or at least unrestrained, and to indulge at public assemblies in the expression of lan guage and of sentiments which can have no other effect than to deprive him of all - character as a politi cian, and to detract considerably from his reputation as a gentleman. It is most melancholy that so rich a man, throughout the whole of- so protracted a life, should have failed, whatever may be the number of his dependents, to attach to him one single friend who has honesty and affection enough to caution him against such breaches of good manners and such outrages upon common sense as appear to be the chief characteristics of his latter days—the freaks and follies of his dotage. Old age, and its concomi tant imbecility, happen often enough to mortals, but so cruel an affliction as to be left without a guide or counsellor in second childhood is a calamity with which we have seldom seen wealthy old men visited. A re cent display of this much ill-used and neglected old gentleman at Yarmouth has given rise to these reflec tions, and we declare most seriously and unaffectedly that we have read what is reported to have fallen from " more in sorrow than in anger," so far as re gards him, but with unmitigated contempt for the taste and the intellect of those friends of his who failed to see that they were degrading and disgracing him in the ,eyes of the world by committing it to print. Mr. Coke has always moved in the society of gen tlemen, an 3 his great boast for many years past has been, and is, that he is a pure old Whig. How age and " agitation" have worn off the polish to which such society must :‘tave rubbed the roughest rustic that and how his d ec li n i ng an d f a ili ng ter sheared a sheep, ...enses have grown to,o weak to perceive the shiftings of position which his party, and with hi s party h e himself, has made, and is' still daily making, one or wo passages of his speech at Yarniouth will very suffi ciently demonstrate. Speaking of the Z. - rouse o Lords, :.e says, " Is it not a fact that for 60 6 7 70 years - ere has hardly been an independent man plae,"d in the House of Lords ?" We should say that it is not oi4Y not rfact, but directly the reverse, whether the old gei.ltie _Jan alludes to his own friends, the Whigs, who havz_ , , been placed in the House of Lords during the period he mentions, or to Tories. We hardly know which to admire 1 ;most, the good manners of this imputation or its good sense. " The tr u th i s ," h e cont i nues, " that the House wax Its sifting, and a reform in the Lords is become as neceisary as ever it was in the Commons : for in their .opposition to all good measures they have only shown them ignorance." Shades o f Momus and of Mid as fear this! Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, talks about the - 4‘ ignorance" of such a body of men as constitute the }louse of Lords ! This surely cannot be true. Mr. Coke could hardly have hit upon this. The reporter 'wi t° had heard, but forgotten, that it formed one of ADwers or Daniel's harangues in the north, must THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1835. sider to be of more importance. It is a fallacy which the Tories make one of their great cards in the game they are now playing, and which is reproduced under every suit and colour, in all the Tory organs besides the Quarterly—namely, Fraser's, Blackwood's, &c. This fallacious allegation is, that the Girondists were French Whigs ; and this supposition being taken for granted, the Conservative scribes in the various perio dicals referred to, climb at once to the top of the base less structure they have erected, and sound the tocsin of warning, as they call it, or of alarm as we call it, against the alliance of the Radicals and the Whigs. Our course is the more obvious, since the enemy's de feated attempt to disunite us should naturally prompt us to greater union. The Tories seek to inflame the fears and jealousies of both by their historical ana logy, and point to the destruction of the Girondists, who were united with the Jacobins on the 10th of August when the republic was pi. 3claimed on the wreck of the Monarchy, as an earnest of the fate which awaits the Whigs, in consequence of their pre sent Radical alliance. Now we shall make short work with this proposition, by denying its truth in toto. The allegation is entirely false. The Girondists, in fact, bore no resemblance to the English Whigs. We have before said that nothing can be more false, nothing more imposing, and more productive of error, than the gew-gaw glitter of historical analogies ; but these things, of course, entrap such jejune and immature minds as those of the Quarterly Reviewer. They serve by their coloured daubing to hide the naked ignorance of the writer. We had before occasion to expose a childish analogy of the same writer, in attempting to compare the " great Rebellion" of England and the Revolution of France, which, false as that analogy was, we did not know at the time was stolen, Tory-like, from a pam phlet entitled " Revolutionary Coincidences," which appeared in the New Times. This analogy between the French Girondists and English Whig is of the same false character. This being the case, the wri ter's inference of alarm drawn from it falls with it to the ground. The Girondists, so far from being, Whigs, were staunch Republicans. They were staunch Republicans in the convention and at the scaf fold. They were staunch Republicans when hunted from society into the caverns of Libourne. They were staunch Republicans, when the 9th of Thermidor re stored the remnant of them to power on the wreck and fall of their great persecutor Robespierre. They were staunch Republicans when Napoleon, as Consul and Emperor, vainly tempted them to desert their princi ples, and to share the profit and the splendour of subsidiary power beneath his consular or imperial sway. We believe that not one of the illustrious Girondists—not one of the glorious Thermidorians —whose only error was in not profiting by the glo rious occasion of sinking the permanent foundations of an Americo-French Republic, w h en the power was i n their hands—exhibited an apostacy to the political principles with which they commenced the Revolution. Greater, better, wiser, more honour able, more consistent men than the great leaders of the Girondists, viz., Brissot,Vergniud, Gensonne, Gaudet, Barbaroux, Bailly, Condorceta—never trod the great stage of the world. To compare them to any body of men is a compliment—whatever body they may be compared with. The 'Whigs may with justice be grateful to the excessive ignorance of their ultra-Tory calumniators, for being placed on the same line of emi nent distinction with those illustrious, but martyred friends of civil liberty, of hurnnity, of freedom, and human improvement. They may say to their calum niator, in the worth of Cicero to Antony, when the latter, in order to depreciate and destroy him, compre hended him, to use the orator's phrase, in the same Trojan horse with Brutus and Cassius, and the great men who with them designed the restoration of the Roman Republic by means of the destruction of its unconstitutional dictator—" Tu me ad ill= societatem atjungis? Tu me illo in equo Trojana includis? Magnam laudem prabus. Non recuso. Vereor so lummodo ut id non probes."—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Mr. Alderman ATKINS was engaged till five o'clock in investigating a charge of assault, preferred by some Lascars against Henry Hutchinson, the chief mate of the Argyle East Indiaman, who was brought up in the custody of Herdsfield, the City officer. A gang of Lascars were hired at Calcutta, through their leader, called the Serang, and his sub-officer, the Tindle, and on reaching China, the Captain unexpectedly was ordered to take a freight to England instead of return ing to Calcutta, and on their arrival here, a charge was pre ferred at the Thames Police against the Captain for cruelty in not suffering the Lascars to throw out ropes to save one of their fellows who had fallen overboard. The Captain, however, showed that the wind was blowing hard at the time, and it was impossible to pick the man up. The charge of assault, now the subject of inquiry, was also made, but was not investigated, as the complainants alleged. Ramat, the Serang, was first sworn ; but he could only speak to the man Mossum having been flogged by the se cond mate, who quitted the Argyle before she returned to England. This flogging occurred near Macao, in the Chinese seas, about eight o'clock in the morning, when the second mate took the .watch. Mossum was a forecastle man. He was one of three Lascars who were affected by the chilliness of the weather, and the mate tried to rouse him by giving him from three to six stripes with a rope's end, but he did not succeed ; and the assault now com plained of was committed at noon by the chief mate when he took the watch. John Topas stated that, after the second mate's starting, Mossum remained lying on the deck with his eyes shut, and without speaking. Negan, the tindle, being asked by the Alderman if he saw Mossum ill-used, and by whom, said he saw the chief mate (the defendant) take hold of the man while he was lying, unable to walk, lift him by one hand and one leg, and heave him upon the chain cable. Mossum " sang out" a little afterwards. Budderadee spoke to the flogging by the second mate, but said he did not strike severely. Hyder Ali said when the chief mate took the watch, he told Mossum to go to work, and threatened to strike him with a rope's end, but did not do so. He told Mossum to go to work, and, taking him by the hand and leg, hove him upon the chain cable. Chute Hassan also said the defendant threw the man on the chain cable. The man died during the night. The defendant declined putting any question to the wit nesses, or offering any defence. After some discussion between the solicitors, Mr. Alderman ATKINS said this was not such a clear charge that he would voluntarily demand bail for the de fendant, for he thought the charge would not be sustained at the Sessions ; but if the complainants insisted upon it, he would require bail. But there was the difficulty, who should he bind over to prosecute ? If he were required to decide he should do so promptly, but he recommended the solicitor for the complainants to consider of the matter till the following day. The decision was therefore adjourned. gaged in:business, they plundered the house of silver plate, upwards of 100 sovereigns, two 101. and two 51. Bank of England notes, thirty-seven shillings, a silver watch and ap pendages, with letters, receipts, and various other articles. The thieves were supposed to have dropped the property in their hurry to escape. Mr. BENNETT inquired whether there was any clue to the thieves ? :Inspector Jenkins said that a description of• their persons was received, and every inquiry was making after them. Mr. BENNETT complimented the applicant on the part which he had taken in the transaction. The applicant said that he had acted disinterestedly, bowed, and quitted the office. Yesterday William Davey, a lad fifteen years of age, was charged by Richard Elsam, Esq., solicitor, of No. 6, Con stitution-row, Gray's Inn-road, with having pelted him with stones. The prisoner was ordered to find bail, for which he was locked up. Edward Davies, the master of the above prisoner, was then charged by Mr. Elsam with having attempted to stab him with a knife. The complainant stated that yesterday morning, when Nesbit, the officer, went to apprehend the boy he refused to deliver him up, and rushed upon witness with a large knife and made several stabs at him, and would have done him serious injury, had he not warded off the blows with his stick. He produced a witness to corroborate this evidence. Mr. BENNETT—Pray what is the cause of all this ? Mr. Elsam—Why the fact is, your Worship, I have pur chased some houses of the Bedford Charity, since which I have turned out some of the tenants, and corrected many nuisances, which have subjected me to continual insults and animosities, and I cannot pass through the neighbour hood in safety or quiet. The defendant denied the charge, and said that he merely refused to let the boy be taken until twelve o'clock. The Magistrates concurred that it was an aggravated case, and ordered the defendant to find good bail, for which he was locked up. certainly have dreamed that the patriarch of Holkham said it, and so put it down to his account. But pray how long has rfforming the House of Lords—how long has sifting that House formed a part of the Whig creed ? If Mr. Coke could be made sensible of any thing, there would be no difficulty in bringing him to understand that this is not, and never . was, Whig doctrine, but pure Radicalism. So much, then, for the consistency of Mr. Coke as a Whig, the only thing, except his farming, that we ever heard he prided himself upon ; and if his boasts as to the latter have no better foundation that they have with re gard to the former, neither Agriculture nor Whiggism will be much indebted to him. The peerage, we know, has ever been a sore subject with Mr. Coke, but this language with regard to the Upper House is new in him. Can it be possible that the sulkiness and ill feeling consequent upon the refusal to make him Earl of Leicester has lasted so many years, or found so foul a vent at last ? Mr. Coke would certainly not be the first person whom disappointment has made a nominal Whig—an actual any thing. By the way, we must not forget to mention that the Court is quite as cavalierly and as insultingly spoken of by this gar rulous old gentleman as the Peers are. He said, " I have the utmost confidence in Lord Melbourne as an able, independent, and inflexible Minister" (indepen dent of the " Tail," inflexible to Dan ?) " and I hope he will hold the Court at arm's length." Mr. Coke's loyalty does not appear to have been much improved by the visit recently paid him by the Princess Victoria and the Duchess of Kent ; but he can hardly know what he is talking about, and the people whose duty it is to take care of him are much more in fault than he is. With the following specimen of Whig unfair ness we shall conclude our notice of the sayings of this daft old gentleman at Yarmouth. The " Health of the Heir of Holkham" having been given, Mr. Coke, in returning thanks, is reported to have re lated a little anecdote of his son " as indicative of his son's political notions, and of the probability that he would tread in the steps of his father. When on a visit lately to Holland-house, they happened to be in an apartment in which was a number of busts of emi nent men, either now living, or recently deceased— turning to Lord Holland, his son inquired, Are all these Whigs ?" No,' replied his Lordship, they once were, but many of them are gone over to the Tories.' " Now, suppose this to have been the case, why should Lord Holland have acted so disingenu ously by the boy as to have told him only half the truth? Why did he not candidly. add, after " many of them are gone over to the Tories," and "a much larger numer have gone over to the Radicals?" This omis sion was very unfair in an old Mentor towards an inex perienced youth asking for information. To the par tial information, however, thus communicated by Lord Holland, young Coke replied, " Then, why don't you take them down ? I know my papa would." No doubt, my boy ; but would he take doWn the busts or pictures of those Whigs tvho have gone over to the Radicals ? Undoubtedly. not, for,P7en he would have to take down his own among the rest, and you know there are plenty of his at Holkham.—Times. It is not without feelings of the most poignant sor row that we read in almost every provincial Journal published in the agricultural districts renewed accounts of incendiary fires, more frequent and more extensive than those which have unhappily taken place in former years. No sooner have the fruits of the earth been housed in abundance, and almost unexampled condi tion, than the midnight torch is applied to that main stay of human food and human labour. We lately described this crime as a novel stain upon the charac ter of the country, and such it undoubtedly is ; nor can we at the same time cease to deprecate the appa rent calmness and indifference with which its rise and continuance seem to have be: hitherto viewed by Par liament and the Government. We flatter ourselves that this Journal has some claim to the title of " The Poor Man's Friend." At least, without at all dispa ' raging the labours of others, •we may, we think, ap peal to our past endeavours to mitigate the lot of the labouring classes, to demand justice for them at what ever hands it appeared to be withheld, and in depre cating every inroad which appears to approach their rights and comforts, as proofs of our intentions. Up to this hour our readers must be aware that our la bours to this end have been incessant. But it will be in vain for the friends .of the labouring classes to exert themselves in their behalf, if this diabolical spirit of outrage is allowed to defeat the efforts of those friends. That the poor have .wrongs, our efforts to redress them are, as far as our awn conviction goes, an unerring test ; but if the poor would increase those wrongs, and wilfully postpone the hour of re dress, they cannot take more effectual means to that end than by lighting up incendiary fires, which, while they inflict the intended injury only on the insurance offices, constitute a species of crime with which no parley can be held. If men were once to be told, that outrage could effect their object, such an ad mission must eventually lead to the breaking up of all the elements of society. But while we thus deprecate any parley with or concession to crime, we would appeal to those who have hitherto been deaf to all advice and remonstrance, whether they should continue to persist in those fatal errors which have had the combined effect of producing the miserable scenes to which we are alluding. Had the tune of Parliament been occupied as it ought' to have been during the two last Sessions, the causes to which we allude, and their remedies, would have occu pied rather more of its attention. We hold the first duty of the Government and the Legislature to be to eonsult the happiness and prosperity of the great bulk of the people. That bulk, we need hardly say, must ever cons: st of the labouring classes. When, there fore, we compare their numbers with those who were to be affected either by Municipal Reform, or even by the still =settled question of tithes in Ireland, we do not hesitate to say that, without undervaluing their importance, !there were questions_ of greater moment, because of fax more extensive consequence, about which the time of Parliament might have been employed. Let then the state of the English and Irish poor be the first object of its attention when the Legislature meets ; an d in the meanwhile, if we have any influence with the lower classes, let us earnestly counsel them to abstain from outrages which can only postpone re lief, and in every respect still further deteriorate their own cot edition.--Morning Herald. The • article in the Quarterly Review, entitled " Ro bespierri on which we last week commented, con tains .a .fallacy much more important than the one which we exposed, and which engages us now to re peat our -notice of the article in question, as we pro mised. 'The fallacy concerns the party of the Giron dists, v. rho occupied the right side of the National Convent ;ion, and who were engaged with the Moun tain—th tat is, the Jacobins—who occupied the left, in a dew ily struggle, which terminated in the destruc tion of t, ie former. It was of some consequence to set the 1 aublic right on the subject of Robespierre, partly of i account of the jobs and plunder of the " life-an, 1-property" Tories which grew in Pitt's time from calumniating the successive chiefs of the Revolution: ; partly on account of the comparison which the :French people are alleged by the Quar terly Reidt! w to be now drawing between Louis Philippe ;t nd Robespierre. We could have added many other proofs to those we adduced in demon stration th a t Robespierre's character was painted in colours c the darkest exaggeration for the above insi dious obj iects. We might have added the domestic fact, that mutual affection and humanity were so noto rious in the Robespierre family, as to be accounted hereditary r. We might have added the political fact— and Nap( Aeon declared his belief in it to Doctor O'Meara it St. Helena—that Robespierre had a design of termina, %ing the excesses of the Revolution by a Constitutio n exactly similar to that of the United st a :es, he h ii nself enacting the part of Washington, as p res id;llit. ie might have added the second political fact, that he ffended his own party (and drew on him self thc..conspi] •acy of the Hebertists thereby) the ultra Jacobins; firs by the clause which he maintained in the declare :11( of the Rights of Man, for the protection rof property; and secondly, by his effort to reca Ipublie opinion in France from atheism, or rather ir. religious brutality, to a sympathy with class, and race of men, by a pro every nation, • fession of a -.lief in one God. But we avoid this line of arguiti it, in order to address ourselves to the exposure of a illacy which, as we have said, we con- HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday a young gentleman, who said that he resided in Staples Inn, Holborn, applied to Mr. BENNETT for his advice under the following extraordinary circumstance : The applicant, on Monday night last, about nine o'clock, was passing through Staples Inn, when he kicked against some heavy substance, and on picking it up he found it to be a tea-caddy, which he took to his chambers and exa mined, and discovered that an attempt h a d b een ma d e to force it open. On lifting up the lid and searching it, he found it to contain four receipts for B an k St oc k i n th e Three per Cents., 15 04 in gold, two 101. notes, and other property, with two letters addressed to Mr. John Silver, at the George the Fourth, Copenhagen-fields. He imme diately proceeded to the address on the letters, and made inquiry as to whether they had lost a tea-caddy of the de scription, and he was informed that such an article had been stolen, containing property to a considerabl e amount , with plate and other articles. He explained his m o ti ve i n making the inquiry and the circumstance of his having found the property ; but in order to be perfectly secure, he would not deliver up the articles before he paid a v i s it to the station-house of the *district in which be picked them up. On his arrival there he had an interview with the Superintendent, who ordered the property to be de livered up and left there ; and although he (the applicant) produced his card of address he was detained there for a considerable time, whilst officers were despatched to ascer tain'whether be was the person whom he represented him self to be, and on their return with a satisfactory answer he was liberated. • He thought it very hard that be should have been so long detained, after the trouble and pains he had taken. Inspector Jenkins of the E division here stated that on Monday night, p r i or t o th e a pplicant coming to the station house, a report was received from the Islington division that an extensive robbery had been perpetrated at the house of Mr. Silver, the sign of the George the Fourth, Copenhagen-fields, by three men, who entered the place, and while the attention of the family and servants was en- MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

At the evening sitting on Monday, Mr. Edward Thorn hill, the Mark-lane corn factor, whose name in connection with the late investigation regarding some flour purchased of him by a baker named Fortescue, of No. 11, Duke-street, Lisson-grove, and which flour was said to be adulterated with a considerable portion of lime, attended at this office, accompanied by two sespectable men, for the purpose of ex plaining the affair. From Mr. Thornhill's statement it appeared that the flour in question came by water from Woodbridge, in Suffolk, and was delivered to Mr. Fortescue direct from the wharf without having passed through his (Mr. Thornhill's) hands. In fact, he - never saw the article, and, therefore, could not have adulterated it, as was supposed, 'and he had brought the lighterman and wharflnger with him to bear him out in his statement. A chemist had that morning accompanied him to the residence of Mr. Fortescue, and had procured a sample of the alleged adulterated flour for the purpose of analyzation, and the result of his labours would be made known in a few days, as he thought it high time the matter should be set at rest for the satisfaction not only of himself but Mr. Morgan, the miller, who had declared on Saturday that the article left his premises free from adulteration ; at the same time he must say that it was his opinion that the flour contained no more than the usual quantity of lime natural to wheat, and which was always found in the article when ground. Mr. RAWLINSON. said it was certainly a case of some doubt and mystery, and be should feel happy in assisting to clear it up. - UNION- HALL. Yesterday Elizabeth Welton, a decently attired woman, was brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with maliciously breaking a gas lamp in the Southwark Bridge-road. A policeman, on the preceding night, saw the defendant, who inquired of him if she could be provided with a lodging in the station-house, sayit , that she had come from Corn wall, and that she wanted to get passed there again: He informed her that none but offenders were: accommodated in the station-house, and recommended ber to go and seek a lodging 'elsewhere, upon which she immediately picked up a stone, and, taking aim at a gas-lamp, broke the glass to pieces. In reply to Mr. TRAILL, the defendant was a native of Truro ; that she left that place with her two children, and travelled to Deal in the hope of getting a son into employ ment. That she had since come up to town, and her finances being exhausted, she now wanted to get back again to Cornwall. Mr. TRAILL inquired the reason of her having mali ciously broken the lamp ? In reply, she said that she was told that she must commit an offence before she could get passed, and she therefore threw a stone at the lamp to break it. The MAGISTRATE then inquired who had given such advice, but she said that she bad forgotten ; upon which she was told that she must be fined for the offence, and if she did not pay the fine, she must stand committed for 14 days. The defendant anxiously inquired if she would be passed upon coming out of gaol? and being answered in the nega tive, she said, " Then I shall be under the necessity of breaking another lamp when I come out." The MAGISTRATE told her that if she put her threat into execution, he should fine her himself, and if she did not pay it, he should send her for six months to gaol. The defendant did not care for that. The prisoner was then committed. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

WIESBADEN, SEPT. 26.—The Duchess of Nassau left this place on Sunday for Toplitz, upon the , special invita tion of the Empress of Russia. Her Royal Highness and the Duke of Nassau, her husband, are to return in the be ginning of next month. The soldiers of the garrison on furlough have been ordered to join their colours at the same period.—Augsburgh Gazette. VIENNA, SEPT. 25.—We learn from Trieste that Don Miguel has suddenly arrived there, and intends to repair to the Princess de Beira at Leybach. It is also probable that the Duchess de Berri will also repair to the latter town, in order to visit the members of the' Royal House of Spain and Don Miguel. The reduction in the army is stated to be finally deter mined upon. Forty men per company of each of the four teen Gallician regiments are to be dismissed, and several batteries of artillery and divisions of the waggon train are to be disbanded. The two frontier battalions of Croats are to return to their homes. Lastly, the following regiments are mentioned as being ordered to quit the army of Italy and re-enter their ordinary garrisons, viz. .—The 14th, 27th, 17th, and 47th ; the battalions of Landwehr forming part of those regiments are to be suppressed; and the two com panies of the Landwehr forming part of the regiments of Spulai and Lilienberg will alone continue in Italy. These reductions will produce a saving on the War Budget of of 12,000,000 florins.—.Augsburez Gazelle. VIENNA, SEPT. 26.—For some days past negotiations have been carried on with some of our first commercial houses for a new loan of 24 to 30 millions of florins, at the most Government expect to obtain this loan on advantageous terms ; and, though the interest to be allowed is not to ex ceed three per cent., to conclude it at 80 per cent. The heavy expenses caused by the army have rendered this step necessary, but the great reductions about to take place will afford savings which will prevent a further deficit. It is therefore not doubtful that the Government will succeed, especially with its determined intention to pursue a wise system of economy in every branch of the Administration. This week several more great personages have departed for Toplitz :—Among others, the Archduchess Dorothy, ;wife of the Archduke Palatine„ who is detained at Pres burgh by the Diet's affairs ; the Archduke Charles and his children ; the Duke of Lucca, Prince Paul Esterhazy, and Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg.—lbid. SMYRNA.—WiOin the last few days several Tartars have arrived, with important intelligence from Syria. Ibra him Paella, whose situation had become much worse after the reception of the unfavourable news from Zjedjaz, in Arabia, and whose recruits had fled to the Druses in the mountains, demanded of the, shrewd Emir Beshir a general disarming. Emir Beshir first represented the impossibility of complying with his wishes ; but Ibrahim insisting, the Emir abandoned, in appearance, the command of the troops to Prince Halil, a warlike youth, who hates the Egyptians. Ibrahim, as might be anticipated, has received from the young Prince an unsatisfactory answer. From all quarters the Syrians and Druses are flocking to Halil's standard ; and, according to the last advices, his army amounted to 30,000 men. Ibrahim, on his side, concen trates his forces, and has caused the defiles of the Leba non, where fifteen pieces of ordnance have been stationed, to be occupied. Both parties are in presence, and all Syria is ready to rise. Accordinc , to advices from Alexan dria of the month of August, Mehemed Ali is labouring under great depression of mind and body. He is stated to have drawn nearer to the Russian Consul, and to keep up little intercourse with those of France and England. VIENNA, SEPT. 26.-1021, 99k, 1,333 ; Frankfort, Oct. 1, 1011, 98, 1,586; .

The delivery of West India last week was Z 643 hhds. and trs., which is 120 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 2,497 bags, being 1,144 less than the corresponding week of 1834. This morning the Sugar Market continued in a very de pressed state. The sales of the day, including the public sales of Nevis and Tobago (about 200 hhds. and trs.) 700 hhds. and trs., sold heavily, but no general reduction can be stated in the prices. In Refined there was little alteration till Friday, when the Refiners became alarmed at the accumulation of Refined goods in the warehouses, and sales at 41s. were re ported for fine Crashed in bond, but the general quotation was 425. for fine Crashed, and 83s. for Lumps for the long price ; at the latter considerably sales were made for home consump tion. Considerable sales of fine Crashed were reported yes terday at 425. to-day there is little doing. MAURITIUS.—In Mauritius Sugar no sales were reported last week.

FORElGN.—Considerable sales of yellow Havannah Sugar early in last week were reported at 365. and 375. ; afterwards a considerable decline took place, fine white taken in at 605., which were valued at 535. ; Bahia sold also 2 s . t D 3 s . l ower . Average price of Sugar 11. 17s. ld. per cwt. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There are no sales to report. The total delivery of West India Molasses from the ware houses for the week ending 3d inst., amount to 2,812 cwt. COPFEE.—The sales la - it week of British Plantation Coffee were more considerable than usual, the very ord descriptions at rather higher prices, the low mid and higher qualities at previous prices ; good mid Jamaica 114 s. to 116 s ; good ord pale St. Domingo from Bordeaux 545. to 545. 6d.

In Brandy there is little alteration.—Geneva 2d. per gallon higher on account of the additional duty on Corn in Holland. TALLOW.—The prices dit Tallow this afternoon are nearly nominal, on account of the statement of the Russians being free sellers at St. Petersburgh, 12,000 casks shipped off in one week. INDIGO.—There is a fair inquiry for Indigo. Several sales are reported, and the request is expected to continue, as the public sales 20th inst. are so late that many orders must be executed previously, as it is late in the season for shipment to Northern parts. There is no alteration in the prices. The total deliveries of East India Indigo from the warehouses for the week ending 3d inst. are 40,8431b5. SPICES.—There is little alteration to note in Spices; large sales of Pimento, *ad. to 4id. • 947 bags Pepper in this day's sales, sd. to 5-3-d., shot steady prices.

TEA.—The market is perfectly stagnant, while the trade are waiting th• sales of next week, as these will pretty nearly bring before the buyers the remainder of the arrivals of the season (except the two or three ships to come in) they will be able to judge of what descriptions the excess of importation are. The total deliveries of Tea from the warehouses for the week ending 3d inst. are M 7,667 lbs. TOBACCO.—There are two cargoes of Tobacco sold, one of rejected Virginia at 325. per 100 lbs., manifest weight, a good price ; the other is a cargo of Kentucky at nearly the same price ; the latter is low.

COTTON.—The Cotton market has relapsed into a state of the greatest languor ; the business on Friday is too limited for insertion ; the prices are lower. Hops.--:Prices as last week, excepting Mid and East Kent pockets, on which an advance of- 6s. must be stated. T l ' e Hops are now coming low in colour, and fine pockets will be, very scarce. The market is steady. Choice Hops in gre at demand, and dearer. OlLs.—ln the absence of news from the Straits fisheries the the prices of common Oils are creeping up ; holders are indif ferent about naming a price until the result be known. Lin seed Oil dull, and a shade lower. Some business has bean in Rape Oil at advanced prices. There is but little variation in Olive Oils ; the • holders continue firm in their demands. WooL.—There is no alt e ration in the Wool market. Ger man descriptions are in fair request.

One of the m usket s was broken in the conflict. George Lancrey, and his son James, condemned ° death at the late Assizes for the department of the Ch er ' France, for the murder of a widow, named Bonnet, or ° ordered to be executed at Deols, Where the crime was con mitted. On the 27th ult. they were transferred from the prison at Chateouroux to Deols, in a cart, followed by ~an immense crowd, uttering imprecations on their bea u ?' James Lancrey was much depressed, but his father di" played the utmost audacity and ferocity, returning the r e ,' proaches thrown upon him. H e a l so ma d e s i gn s of atta ch ment to a woman, named Moreau, with whom he had Or habited, and threw her a bundle containing his effects. ° ll ,_ the 29th they were brought out for execution, attended ol two priests. Their demeanour was much the same as 2, the 27th. The father, on reaching the scaffold, found 1,11 . 0 woman Moreau and her two daughters by him, waiting ' t take a last farewell. A gendarme endeavoured to prev eD their embraces ; but George Lan cre y p us h e d him aside' and in a moment the woman was closely locked in his any one of the girls clung round his neck, while the other scse at his feet, with her face to the ground. This sad s ees t over, the son ascended the scaffold, declaring that he we. death with joy as an expiation of his crime, which he at t ; buted to the bad precepts and example of his father. OI TA the execution was being performed the unfeeling Pa re- 4 stood on tiptoe, to be better able to see the mutilated I f , bleeding corpse of his son. On mounting the scaffold , 0 terwards, George Lancrey wished to pl ac e himself on tv. block, and even resisted the executi o n er ' s a tt e mpts to st re ; him to the plank. This, however, was soon done, and inL moment his head was severed from his body. The sPe ciai tors did not testify the slightest compassion. A fire was discovered late on Friday night, or ea e s on Saturday morning in one of the barns of Mr. Jon le t , Hayward'3 farm, at Lower Tufton, by the side of the we s _ ern road from Whitchurch to Andover, at Hurstbour ll ` park, Hants. The fire-engine from the Earl of Per.' mouth's mansion did not arrive in time to prevent the ow struction of two barns, which were filled with w heat, baf f ley, &c., of the late harvest, together with the stable, fly", of the horses in which were burnt, and two of the tithe _7, much injured by the fire. It extended its ravages to l' parish church adjoining, the steeple and upper part which were consumed. Providentially it did not reach ": the stack yard, containing the ricks of wheat, barley, 141 ;„.; this year's produce of Mr. Hayward's extensive farm. ; I g, farm buildings were lately erected at great expense. „. 1 ,..c 0 property is insured in the Sun and Norwich Union -r; 3 , Offices. The fire, no doubt, was the wilful act of the 1 cendiaries, who about half an hour previously, it is s ti _s posed, set fire to the ricks at the farms of Mr. Oborn °AP IA Mr. Fleet at Hurstbourne. Had the wind been high ye the time, the village at Hurstborne probably would 1 18 40 been destroyed. Two men have been taken before Lb, Magistrates at Andover on suspicion. A reward of lu,„ has been offered by his Majesty's Government, a nd a ' ..m w ther reward of 1001. by the trustees of the Earl of 134 " c; mouth's estates, for the discovery and conviction of thel cendiaries.
