SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We give to-day a singular article " from Prussia," which has been communicated through the German papers. The object of this composition is to compel or to induce M. Durand, the French Resident or Con sul at Warsaw, to acknowledge that the copy of the Autocrat's celebrated speech, which appeared in the Journal des Debats, was by him transmitted to that periodical. He is desired to take notice, that I?) , com mon fame he is designated as the reporter of the Im- perial Address, and that he ought to declare whether or not he be misrepresented by that rumour, inasmuch as, if he remain silent, others must bear the blame of his guilt I It is certainly true that M. Durand is universally supposed to be the medium through which the oration in question found its way to the Jour nal des Debats. If this supposition be correct, it throws a powerful additional light upon the effect produced at Warsaw by that memorable ebullition. According to the .Prussian writer, M. Durand never was a friend to the Poles. At the period of the revolution he took an active part against them, so much so as to bring down upon his head the animadversion of the friends of Poland in the Chamber of Deputies. For this misfortune he was, however, consoled by the distinguished attention which he re ceived.from the Russian authorities at Warsaw. Ne- vertheless, opposed as he was to the Polish Patriots —flattered as he seems to have been by their Russian oppressors, he suddenly seeks to render the former a most essential service, which he must have fore Seen would have compromised him with the latter. How deep, how irresistible must not that sentiment of in dignation have been—an indignation inflamed possibly by the sympathies of the whole capital—which urged him to turn his former antipathy against the Poles into compassion for their wrongs—to forget the ho mage paid to him by the Russians, and to challenge their hostility ! A convert like this to the Polish cause is beyond all price. But observe the ground upon which a charge of indiscretion is brought against this gentleman. The Emperor did not praise the Poles in his speech. He was perfectly conscious of what he said ; but he had no idea of publishing to the world his sentiments concerning the people of that part of his dominions. He would wish to have it understo'od abroad, that the Poles kissed the ground on which he trod ; that they had repented of their errors, and had become the most loyal of his subjects. It is not long since he had it proclaimed officially, that " order was restored at Warsaw," whereas his speech betrays the contrary, and proves that the spirit which hates his name is only prevented from again breaking out into rebellion by the guns of the citadel. A useful domi nion this must be to the master and the slave, under which each waits for the first symptom of disorder to annihilate the other ! But all this would have been veiled from the - eye of the world, had it not been for the indiscretion of the French Consul. Suppose him to be guilty, what then will be done ? Will the French Go vernment be obliged to recal him ? We believe he is al ready in Paris. Something more is meant than his mere removal from the office which he held at 'Warsaw. He is said to have intruded upon a family circle—to have ex posed family concerns. What punishment is to be affixed by Russo-Polish law to such a new diplomatic crime as this ? The office itself, perhaps, is about to be -ex tinguished We should not be surprised at this. It must be inconvenient to the Czar, who loves the Poles so tenderly, to have any body—especially a Frenchman with a good memory—overhear the soft discourses by which he occasionally charms their attention. There must be no witness in future to his enjoyments in this way, save those who can be as mute as the sentinels of the harem. The French Government must be in sulted. Upon this the Czar is resolved. Not only must there be no Durand again at Warsaw, but the Duke de Broglie is to understand, that, by way of humble atonement for the publication in the Journal des Debats, there must be no successor to that gentleman ; there is no further occasion for a French resident at Warsaw, Poland being no longer a kingdom in itself, or any thin s r save the last and the meanest of the provinces of the empire. Here will be a humiliation for France, and 'a pretty return for all the sacrifices which her Ministers have made, in order to stand well in the estimation of the Autocrat. He has evidently made up his mind to des perate courses ; he has gone home, sickened by his failures at Kalish and Tcuplitz, maddened by the light flung upon his follies at Warsaw. Europe is un hinged ia his eye . ; he must conquer it through the east or the west, to preserve his own throne. His agents at Petersburg are all in motion ; his Cabinet is overburdened with business ; . hn is, isolated, inde pendent now of Prussia and Austria, -free to act ac cording to his awn policy. 1-Ie is preparing a fleet at CrOnstatit ; he has a large body of troops on the Poli4i 'frontiers ;• he is putting his military colonies, which co=t little money, in a state of efficiency ; he conceives that he may insult France with impunity. We shall see.—Morning Chronicle. Though, many of our readers may. be tired to death with the repeated recurrence to the Czar's speech at Warsaw, we rely upon the acquiescence of the greatest , portion of them in the :propriety of our holding up as often as possible this frightful specimen of unlimited despotism to unqualified reprobation. The following paragraph, published in the Allgemeine Zeitung, is even more disgusting than the speech to which it refers. The French ruffians who had acquired supreme power in 1793 were accustomed to apply endearing and playful terms to their very instruments of murder ; even decapitation by the guillotine was called "looking out of the national window." In the same benevolent spirit the Emperor Nicholas speaks of his transactions with Poland as " a family affair." Should he go to Wars:ow, and superintend the execution of his promise to set the town on fire with red hot balls and destroy half 9f the inhabitants, this, we suppose, will be deno minated " treating a family party to a house-warming." The hint to M. Durand pretty clearly shows what fate awaits anybody but him, should - he, with a stupid sim plicity hardly indeed to be expected of- a French diplomatist, give the explanation required of him. He will, of course, be profoundly silent, and not utter a syllable which would betray his own inaptitude, and sae crifice a score or two of the best people in Warsaw to death or Siberia.-.—Times. . . , We have seldom published any report with so much 1 pleasure as that which appears to-day of the proceed ings 'of a meeting held yesterday, for the purpose of considering " the best means of providing for the establishment of an hospital - for aged, disabled, and decayed masters, mates, and - seamen, in the mer chants' service of the United Kingdom." Not only the object of the meeting, but the spirit in which it was conducted, reflect the highest credit on all con cerned. We have no doubt that the cordial interest there manifested in regard to a most meritorious class of British subjects will not only find an echo in every honest bosom, but will have a great moral effect upon the seamen themselves. We consider this meeting as the commencement of a new and better era for them. With respect to the principle of a hospital, it will be observed that the projected plan is di s ti ngu i s h a bl e from ordinary cases, because, though the liberality of the ship-owners will purchase the land and build the hospital, it is, when built, to be maintained solely by those who are to benefit by it. We trust, and in this hope we are sustained by the opinion of many able practical naval officers, that the contributors, once initiated in a habit of prudence, will not stop at this first scheme for the improvement of their condition, but will be disposed to make a provision which may administer comfort to themselves and families in their health and manhood, as well as a refuge for age and in firmity. We hope, therefore, at no distant time, to be. able to announce that this first excellent step has led to others, and that a Savings Bank has been esta blished as an appendage and auxiliary of the hospital. The spirit of independence will be cherished by the ru ent perseverance with which the sailor will supply lar contribution towards the future relief of 4. 4 5 .. 0: g ry his shipmates ; but how much greater will ("),7.',. ‘ ' . - ,lie'ins' Astotisfaction, how much higher his tone of !.. , Yl i f ':'-ilkoiles seff 7 4lause, if he can resolutely provide a fund '-.2! 7--:;Nillielvtual;t rife the hospital in his case an unneces , le"' -. sary" asylinn.li But whether both projects shall be O e i ..,tealsized 0r.,..,.

It would seem from an article extracted from a Ger man paper, which appears in another part of our im pression, that the speech of the Emperor of Russia at Warsaw, so many versions of which have been pub lished, is likely to give rise to a serious inquiry,.in order to ascertain thq parties who have promulgated to the world an address that was not spoken, or intended, for publication. The communication of the version in the columns of the - Journal des Debuts is attributed to the French Charge d'Affaires in the Polish capital, and it would certainly be but just, as is well observed by our German contemporary, that he should, if he were the informant, at once acknowledge the fact, rather than subject the members of the Warsaw mu nicipality to the consequences of an investigation, which cannot be productive of benefit or advantage to any of the parties concerned in this indiscreet exhibi tion of the Emperor of Russia. We must confess, however, that we turn with disgust from the outrageous and unjust language which the French and English journals have made use of towards the Czar. It is not by continued appeals to the worst passions of man kind that the regeneration of Poland is to be accom plished. It is not by the dissemination of the most foul and infamous calumnies against the private cha racter, habits, and disposition of the Russian Emperor that the hard lot of the Poles is to be bettered. Sooner or later these violent incentives to revolution—this constant endeavour to keep up political ex , :itement and hatred against the Muscovite ruler—must be productive of serious injury to the in terests of Great Britain. It is disgraceful to a Bri tish Minister to encourage his official journals to pub lish, day after day, the vilest slanders against the heads of powerful States with which we are at at peace. The Whig Government, with all its pretended sym pathy for the wrongs of Poland, notwithstanding all the eloquent invectives, at public dinners, of various Members of the Melbourne Administration against Russian oppression and tyranny, did not dare to strike when the opportunity presented itself. 'Where were the patriotism and philanthropy of the Whigs durirT, the last Polish struggle for independence ? For what reason did they not at that time put their revolutionary principles of interference into practice ? The attachment to the " blessings of a liberal Government induced Lord Palmerston to interfere in the affairs of the west of Europe; but; whilSt he could wage an under-handed war by means of a disgraceful quasi-intervention against petty States and petty Sovereigns, his Lord ship shrunk from attacking the Russian nation, to carry out, according to the cant expression of the day, a great principle.—Morning Post. ROLLS' COURT.-THURSDAY. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF BATH. This was an information filed against the defendants, in their character of trustees of certain charities in Bath. The facts of the case were as follow :—The charities were founded by letters patent, dated in the reign of Kin.- Ed ward VI., who endowed them with the property of the dissolved priory of Bath, then valued at 251., per annum. By a decree made in 1735 by a Charity Commission, the Corporation was ordered to pay to the charity two sums of 5,000/. and 5001., for property belonging to the charity which they had either alienated or could not point out. This decree, it was admitted by both sides, was never acted upon. The present information was filed on the re port of the Charity Commissioners for the purpose of having an account of the rents arid profits received, of the property belonging to the charity, and a scheme for the management of the charity. Mr. BICKERSTETH appeared for the relators. Mr. TINNEY appeared on behalf of the Corporation of Bath. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS postponed his udgment. KING'S BENCH.-T HURSD AY. HARD , h'ICKE AND OTHERS V. GELLARD. This was an action brought by the assignees of a bank rupt named Shoobridge, formerly a tailor in Cheapside, to recover from the defendant compensation for goods sent out by the bankrupt to the defendant at Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land. After the case had been stated, the plaid tiff's Counsel proposed to put the bankrupt intcpthe witness box. Mr. Shoobridge was accordingly sworn, and then examined by the def6ndant'S Counsel, with a view to raise an objec tion against his admissibility as a witness. He stated that he had been twice a bankrupt, once about fourteen years ago, and once in last December. He had not paid so much as fifteen shillings in the pound under his last bankruptcy. He had obtained his certificate under the second commis sion. He had released any surplus which might be pro duced by his estate, Sir F. POLLOCK objected that he was not admissible as a witness, because of the interest which he had in the result of this cause. Mr. PLATT, for the plaintiffs, contended that the wit ness was admissible. . The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COMMON PLEAS.-THURSDAY. VOURDIEU AND OTHERS V. ROWE AND OTHERS. This cause was resumed this morning at the sitting of the Court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. Sergeant WILDE having addressed the Jury at great length for their respec tive clients, and the case being closed on both sides, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, who then retired, and, after a long consultation, returned to the Court at seven o'clock with a verdict for the plaintiffs (the repre sentatives of Gudgeon)—Damages, one :billing. The effect of this verdict, of course, is to entitle the re presentatives of Gudgeon to two-thirds of the money in the Court of Chancery, while the representatives of Dodson can claim only one-third. EXCHEQUER COURT.-THURSDAY. ALEXANDER V. VANE. This was an action for money paid on account of the de fendant, and fur work and labour done.. The defendant was proprietor of the Age and Ariel Brighton coaches, and had employed the plaintiff, who is proprietor of the Barbi can Repository, to keep the horses and turn out the vehi cles in proper style for he road, for a specific sum. The plaintiff had also taken the defendant to a harness maker of the name of Paliser, of whom he purchased upon credit the harness required for his teams, the plaintiff guaranteeing the debt to Paliser. Subsequently 31/. Is. 6d. was paid by plaintiff to Paliser, that sum having been left unpaid by the defendant ; and for this, and divers charges for horse keep, &c., the action was brought. The action went off upon a verdict for the plaintiff for 31/. Is. 6d., with leave given by Mr. Baron Gurney to Mr. Thessiger to move the Court in banco for leave to en ter a verdict for the defendant. _ _ . This was the last cause in the list for these sittings. PREROGATIVE COURT. MORGAN V. THOMPSON. In this case the testatrix, Mrs. or Lady Ray, died on the Ist of September, 1834, having executed two testamen tary papers bearing date, one in 1827, and the other in Ja nuary, 1833, Mr. James Thompson' being the sole execu tor under the first, and Mr. William Morgan, a school master at Barnet, at whose house the deceased had resided from July, 1832, to the time of her death, being executor and largely henefited under the second. It had been alleged on the part of Mr. Thompson, that the deceased had, in a moment when she was not of sound mind, destroyed the will under which he was appointed executor, and that the other will now propounded had been obtained from the de ceased by compulsion, Mr. Morgan having taken posses sion of her person, and kept her in custody at his house. Dr. PHILLIMORE did not object to the general tenor of the allegation. The King's ADVOCATE, on the part of the Crown, would not interfere. Sir H. JENNER must admit the allegation. STRETTELL V. STRETTELL. This was a case of propounding a paper containing the substance of the will of Henrietta Strettell, who died at Geneva on the 16th of August, 1831, aged 19, promoted by Dashwood Strettell against Thomas William Strettell. The deceased on the eve of taking a Continental tour ex pressed a desire to make her will, and accordingly, on the 30th of July, 1830, a will was executed by her and attested. That will the deceased delivered to Mee Raikes, Esq., her guardian, and then proceeded with a sister and brother-in law to the Continent, where she died. The will had since been lost or mislaid, and, though diligent search had been made in the house of Mr. Raikes, all efforts had proved unsuccessful. At one time it appeared the will had been in the custody of a sister of the deceased. Dr. BURNABY appeared to support the paper, and the KING'S ADVOCATE against it. Sir H. JENNEIt had no doubt that the will which was executed by the deceased was in existence after her death, but it would be premature to hear any discussion upon the case until the sister's papers bad been searched. The case must stand over until the search had been made. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1835 COU - R.T OF BANKRUPTCY. The first meeting of the creditors under a fiat of bank ruptcy awarded against J. Tulley, the proprietor of the Bazaar, in High Holborn, was held to day (Thursday) for the proof of debts and the choice of assignees. The debts of the bankrupt are estimated at about 2,0001., and the assets are extremely small. The bankrupt underwent an examination to ascertain whether a party to whom he had given a judgment bond could not be made a partner in the transactions of the Bazaar, but the furthea proceedings on this point were adjourned. The COMMISSIONER asked the amount of the expected 1 assets ? The official assignee stated that they would be ex tremely small, and the broker in possession said that the rent, assessed taxes, and demands for gas, would sweep off the whole assets. The further proceedings, after some routine business had been gone through, were adjourned. A curious incident occurred at a meeting to pass a bank rupt's last examination in this Court. A Quaker, with a new broad•brimmed hat, attended to prove a debt, and having neglected the usual courtesy of being uncovered in the Commissioner's presence, the usher reminded him of it, but the hint being disregarded, the Commissioner himself told " Friend Atninadat" that if he came there to transact business he must remain as other persons did, uncovered. The Quaker advanced with solemn step, and addressed the Commissioner to the following effect " Friend—lt is for thy sake, and not mine, that I object to take off my hat. I assure thee that it is a very solemn thing to require me to render to thee the same homage I render to my Maker. Consider this Friend." Mr. HoLRoYD could not enter into an argument on the matter, but if the party came there he must conform to the rules of the Court. The Quaker doffed his hat, with this solemn warning to the Commissioner— " Friend, consider coolly what thou bast done when thou goest hence ; think upon it at night, and thou'lt regret it.' CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT., Charles Booth, aged eighteen, was indicted for mali ciously killing a gelding, of the value of 151., the property of Charles Morrison. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. Thomas .Moore, aged eighteen, a respectable-looking yount , man, was acquitted of the charge of sending a letter to Mrs. Harriet Debenbam, of Beckenham, in Kent, threat ening to burn and destroy her house. On the Grand Jury presenting the remainder of the bills, the Foreman said he was requested by his brother Jurors to state to the Court that they felt called on to express their disapprobation at the mode in which several pawnbrokers performed their business. In the course of the inquiries which came before them, they found that several of the prisoners were only 12 years old and, although so young, the only mode they possessed to get rid of the stolen pro perty was by pawning it. They, therefore, felt called on to reprobate the conduct of those pawnbrokers who afforded such facilities to crime, and trusted that some steps would be adopted to put an end to such a system. The COURT, in reply, expressed its disapprobation at pawnbrokers taking articles in pledge from children. The Grand Jury was then discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. Mr. BODKIN had an application to make, for which he had received instructions from the solicitor to the Duke of Beaufort, and which that Gentleman, although unable to have an interview with, and consult his client, felt that, for the protection of his Grace from a painful inconvenience, he, in his discretion as his confidential adviser, ought to make. The solicitor had in the public prints seen a state ment that a true bill had been found against the Duke of Beaufort at the Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday last for a common assault ; and, on making inquiries in the pro per quarter, he found the statement to be perfectly correct. His Grace was at present out of town, making arrange- Ments for the funeral of his father, and it was impossible for the solicitor to communicate with him so as to effect the desired object in time, which was to obtain a short stay of the process of the Court, so as to prevent officers armed with a warrant breaking in upon his Grace without notice, while he was attending to the solemn duties in which he was now engaged. A delay of a week or ten days was all that was asked, and the granting which could not in the least 44rcjudice the case. Who and what the prosecutor was they did not know, nor where he was to be found. Mr. Sergeant 'ANDREWS observed that an application of this kind ought to be on affidavit. Mr. BODKIN replied he had an affidavit. Mr. sergeant ANDREWS—Then let it be read by the Clerk of the Court. The affidavit was accordingly read. Mr. FLOWER—What is the name of the prosecutor ? Mr. BODKlN—Thomas King ; he is said to be a cab driver, though I know not on what authority. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS—Don ' t you think you may safely trust the case to the discretion of the Court, under the peculiar circumstances, without pressing your applica tion ? . . Mr. BODKIN expressed himself to be quite satisfied w this assurance. Mr. James Goodele, the landlord of the White Horse, Hare-street, Bethnall-green, appeared as appellant against a conviction obtained at the instance of a common informer, for a breach of the terms of his recognizance as a licensed victualler, in serving liquors during the hours of Divine Service, on Sunday, the 22d of November. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared to sustain the conviction, and called James Sheering, the informer, who deposed that on Sunday, the 22d of November, at twelve o'clock, he saw two drunken women and a man knock at the door and gain admittance, when witness followed after them, and saw them served with gin. In cross-examination by Mr. PRENDERGAST, the fouow g rich dialogue ensued : Mr. PRENDERGAST—You have been often in this Court, I believe ? Sheering—Yes, many times (giving a glance towards the dock). Mr. PRE NDER GAST—Ab, I see you are looking towards the bar. Sheering,—Yes, I was brought up to the bar. . Mr. PRENDERGAST—What- do you mean by that, fel low ? Sheering—Why I was brought up to the bar when I was drinking in the defendant's house. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS—What do you mean when you said you were brought up to the bar ? Sheering—Mr. Prendergast made an observation about— Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS—And you meant to give him a pert answer ? Sheering—No, I did not, Sir. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS—Take care how you answer, then, as your answers may affect your credit with the Court. Mr. PRENDERGAST—Have you never stood within that bar ? (Pointing to the dock.) Sheering—Never. Mr. PRENDERGAST — Do you mean to swear you were never tried in this Court ? Sheering—No. Mr. PRENDERGAST—Then what did you mean by your former answer? Sheering—l never stood behind that bar ; it was a different one when I was tried. Mr. FLOWER indignantly asked how he dared equivo cate thus with his oath ? Mr. PRENDERGAST—What were you tried for ? Sheer ing—You ought to know, for you defended me. Mr. PRENDERGAST—I insist on an answer. your witness, and if I could I would not. Sheering—lt was for rescuing a fellow-crea - ture from the grave. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS—Was it not for stealing a dead body ? Sheering—Yes. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, addressing Mr. Adolphus—ls it possible to go on with this case ? The CHAIRMAN—Have you any other witness ? Mr. ADOLPHUS had not, and if the opinien of the Bench was against him he must, of course, bow to it. Mr. BALLANTINE said that although the answers of the witness had been exceedingly improper and impertinent, he thought they ought to hear the defence. The nephew of Mr. Goodale was then called, and flatly contradicted the informer. There were other witnesses, but the Court, without hearing them, unanimously quashed the conviction. I can't be The proposal of the Admiralty with respect to the Greenland ships is, that if the owners and underwriters will fit out a ship, and men from the ports will volunteer for her, the. Admiralty will commission her, pay and provision the crew, and fill her with stores and provisions for the crews in Davis's Straits ; the men, of course, to be discharged as soon as the service is performed. Captain Ross's immediate object will be to iry to com municate with some of the Danish settlements, and effect the forwarding of the provisions. Whether a fur ther attempt be made to send vessels into the ice lies over for decision. The Admiralty desires that communica tions may be established from Hull with Newcastle, Aberdeen, Kirkaldy, and other places concerned.— Morning Paper. ADELPHI THEATRE.—The domestic drama by Jerrold to be produced this_evening was, we hear, ori g inally written to introduce Mr. James Wallack and Miss Tree, as the hero and heroine. Mr. Vining and Mrs. Nisbett enact the chief characters, supported by Messrs. Williams, Web ster, Wilkinson, Younge, &c. The scene is laid in the days of Charles the Second, and will contain, we understand, some picturesque . and beautiful views. Mrs. Sterling, of Birmingham, is engaged here for three,years, and is secured 3,0001. for that period ; she is a very talented lady, and succeeds Mrs. Nisbett. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET. Information has recently been obtained by the authori ties at the Stamp Office, at Somerset House, that forge ries of stamps have been for some time past carried on to a very considerable extent, especially in the article of playing cards. In consequence of this information Ellis, Ballard, and Keys, officers of this establishment, were ordered by Sir. F. Roe to make inquiries, the result of which was, that warrants were issued against several suspected persons. Ellis went with a search warrant to No. 122, John-street, Smithfield, where he took into custody a card-maker, named Henry Wheeler, who occupied the attic floor; and found upon his person thirty-eight pieces of very thin paper, each containing an impression (forged) of the' stamp upon the the ace of spades, forming one of a pack of playing cards. On searching a loft over the attic he found a plate from which there could be no doubt the forgeries he found upon the prisoner's person had been struck. The officer brought the prisoner before Sir F. Roe at the evening sitting, and the above circumstances having been briefly stated, the prisoner, who declined saying any thing, was remanded, to give time to produce the necessary formal evidence. _ Mr. Sircum, and two other gentlemen, attended from the Stamp Office, for the prosecution. The prisoner was once , a licensed manufacturer of cards, but in consequence of some faux pas (it is said) the license was withdrawn, and he has since been extensively engaged in manufacturing cards with forged stamps. A respectably dressed man, about the middle age, named John Lomas, was next put to the bar by Ballard under the following circumstances : Ballard, it appeared, had a search warrant against the prisoner, on suspicion of being concerned in the transac tions with which Wheeler, the former prisoner, stands ac cused, and, in consequence of information which he obtained, he went close to a house in Grove-street, Holloway-road ; but, wishing to watch to see the prisoner before he pro ceeded to search, he waited some time, and saw the pri soner come out. He followed him some distance, and ob served that he had something of a flat square shape in a bag under his arm. He at length stopped him, and took him into a public-house, and asked him his name, which he said was John Chapman. Ballard asked him where he lived, and he said, " Before I answer that question I want to know who and what you are ?" Ballard said he would satisfy him upon that , subject, but he must first have his address. The prisoner then wrote upon a piece of paper, " John Chapman, No. 20, High-street, Highgate." Bal lard asked him if he came direct from that place, and he said he did. He then told him it was not so, and he must take him back to the place that he had come from. He refused to go, but the officer told him he must, upon which he said, " If you are determined to take me back to the house, I am a ruined man," adding, that what the officer was in search of was in the back-kitchen, and he would show him to it himself, but begged he would not frighten his wife, for she was not well, and would be greatly alarmed. He stated also that he was " dri ven to it by distress." The officer all this time no doubt was quite satisfied that he had hit the mark,' and that the matter referred to by the prisoner was that which was mentioned in his warrant. When, however, he was conducted to the back kitchen of No. 2, Grove-street, he found two tubs containing twelve gallons of wash, apparently ready for use, two casks and three or four bottles of spirits, altogether about twelve gallons, together with a worm, and all the usual apparatus of an illicit still. Ballard searched the house by virtue of his warrant for other things, but found nothing to implicate the prisoner in the stamp forgeries. He, however, brought him away upon the new and unex pected charge of keeping an illicit still. The prisoner did not deny the charge, but said he had two aged parents to support, besides a large family, and beg ged Sir F. Roe, to be lenient with him. Sir FREDERICK said the Act of Parliament was impera tive, and he had no discretionary power. He must, there fore, convict him in the penalty of 301., and in default of payment he must stand committed to the House of Correc on for three months, there to be kept to hard labour. The prisoner was taken away in custody. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Hobler had a lengthened private inter view with Mr. HARDWICK, the particulars of which did not transpire, but it was supposed to relate to some precau tionary measures necessary to be adopted for the better se curity, both at this office when they are brought up for fur ther examination, as well as during the journey from and to Clerkenwell, of the prisoners at preseut in custody for the Custom-house robbery. Such precaution is deemed neces sary from the desperate characters of the prisoners (at least two or them, Sullivan and Jourdan), and some suspicion which is entertained that a large sum of money would be offered for their/rescue. Persons have been despatched to different parts of the Continent, where the stolen notes I have been changed, collecting evidence, and to bring over with them the necessary witnesses against the prisoners. Much praise is due to the authorities at the Custom House, particularly to R. B. Deane, Esq., Chairman of the Com missioners ; Mr. Walford, the solicitor ; and Mr. Billing, the principal warehousekeeper, for the zeal they have ma nifested is bringing the guilty parties to justice. It is said that on yesterday morning a considerable sum of money had been traced to a bank where it had been deposited by the prisoner Sullivan, and directions were given that at present it should be detained, and no part of it delivered on the check of the prisoner. MARYLEBONE. Yssterday Elizabeth Burlington, a middle-aged woman, of remarkably spare figure, who for some time past has been living as servant to Mr. Henry Amos Ash, surgeon, of 53, Brook-street, Bond-street, was charged before Mr. FlomNs with creating a disturbance at her master's house, and refusing to quit it, although she had receiwd due warning. Mr. Ash stated that, as the prisoner did not suit him, he some time back gave her notice to quit. The warning having expired that morning_ he paid her the wages due to her, and then desired that she would leave his house as soon as possible. No sooner was this announcement made than she flew into a violent passion, and declared she would never quit the roof while she had breath in her body ; and, persisting in this resolution, he sent to the station-house in Marylebone-lane for assistance ; when, in a short time, Mr. Inspector Robinson, of the D division, arrived with a constable. She then became more violent than ever, flew at complainant, and threatened to smash every window in his house. She was, at length, conveyed away by force. Mr. Robinson bore ample testimony to the prisoner's vio lent conduct. Mr. HOSKINS—What have_3oU to say? _ Prisoner (bursting into a flood of tears)-oh, dear, I never thought Mr. Ash would have behaved so. I thought he was quite a different man. I have been a faithful ser vant, but one unlucky discovery has spoiled all. Three weeks this blessed day master had a young lady in the par lour. I peeped through the key-hole, and saw—dear heart, what did I . see !—I actually saw them sitting together.— (Here the priioner again shed tears, which she dried with her white apron.) In the evening he went home with this same young lady, and has dined out ever since, though I have always prepared a good dinner for him at home. I have become quite useless to him, it seems, and he has the barbarity to turn me off ; but 11l never leave him. No ; I'll stick to the last. Mr. HoSKINs—Are you a single woman ? Prisoner— No ; but it's all the same, my husband has left me, and now--(Here she again applied the white apron to her eyes, till it was completely saturated with tears.) Mr. HosKiNs—lf I discharge you, will you promise not to annoy your master any more, and not break his win dows? Prisoner (placing herself in a theatrical attitude) —Upon my honour I ' can make no such pr om i se . I' m sure, at least, that if I m at liberty the windows will pay for it. • Mr. Hosurrs—You are a very foolish woman. Prisoner (turning to Mr. Ash, and making a very low congee)—And I think you're a very foolish man, Sir, to discharge such a good and faithful servant ; but I'll never leave you—no, that I won't ! 'Every persuasion to bring the prisoner to reason having failed, she was at length locked up, in default of bail. Mr. Ash, who appeared in great perplexity, and in fear of another visit when the prisoner should be released, asked the Magistrate what he had best do ? Mr. HosxiNs replied that he must indict her at the Sessions ; he could do nothing else. THAMES NAVIGATION. — Pursuant to appoint ment a deputation from the Committee appointed to inves tigate the present imperfect system of navigating the Thames, with a view to obtain a code of regulations appli cable to the altered state of navigation by the introduction of steam, had an interview yesterday with Lord John Russell, the result of which was highly satisfactory, and reflects great credit on his Lordship for the prompt attention he has given the subject, and the readiness with which he entered into the views of the Committee in requesting his Majesty's Government to investigate the causes of the pre sent evils, and from the evidence obtain materials for laws likely to encourage the commerce of London, giving its in habitants the full advantage of their noble River, divested of the present dangers and difficulties arising from steam ships, overloading of craft, and insufficient description of boats, together with the crowded state of the Pool caused by the number of colliers waiting to be discharged. It is with great pleasure we notice this step towards a better state of things, and doubt not Lord John Russell will fol low up this matter with the same spirit and with the same success as the greater measure of Reform. The deputa tion consisted of Sir John Hall, Mr. William John Hall, Mr. Stuart, Mr. William Morgan, Mr. Joseph Adams, Mr. Blenkarne, Mr. Cruden, and Mr. James Jenkins. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday very great interest was excited by the pro• ceedings in the Court of -Aldermen,, which was crowded below the bar the moment the doors were opened. During the whole of the discussion there were 17 Aldermen pre sent, and that number was increased by two ,before the Court broke up. THE GOWN OF BASSISHAW WARD. Mr. CARTER, of the Lord Mayor's Court, by the di rection of his Lordship, read the return of James White, Esq., as Alderman of Bassishaw Ward ; and Mr. White was formally introduced to the Court and sworn. THE GOWN OF ALDGATE WARD Mr. CARTER also, by the direction of the Lord Mayor, read the return of John Humphrey, Esq., As Alderman of Aldgate Ward, together with the protest and letter of David Salomons, Esq., and the protest of William May hew, John Pember, and John Jones, Esqs., against such return. The LORD MAYOR stated to the Court that the three gentlemen who signed the last protest had been present at the wardmote at which Mr. Humphrey was elected, and the legality of which they impugned. After a short discussion as to forms, the Court ordered that Mr. Humphery should be presented for the purpose of being sworn. When Mr. Humphery appeared at the Bar, he was requested to take a seat on the floor of the Court, and Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS rose, and requested to be allowed to make a few observations. He stated that, acting upon the best legal advice, he had a paper to hand to the Court, and a few observations to accompany that document ; and he assured those whom he had the honour to address that he was influenced in his proceedings by the most conciliatory spirit. He then read his protest. Alderman WOOD then rose and said that he held in his hand a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Ald gate, complaining that Mr. Humphery was illegally elected Alderman. One of the objections was of rather a curious kind, as it accused that gentleman of being a vender of wine, bread, and beer by retail.—(A laugh.) The petition was then read. Sir C. MARSHALL then presented another petition against the return of Mr. Humphery. The LORD MAYOR detailed the circumstances under which the election was held, and the Recorder, having de clared that all the necessary forms had been strictly ob served, Mr. Mayhew's petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Court then proceeded to the consideration of the pe tition of the inhabitants of Aldgate to be heard by Counsel, Mr. C. Phillips being in readiness to argue upon the merits of their case. Alderman WOOD moved that the petitioners' Counsel be called to the bar. Alderman BROWN moved that the petition of the inha bitants of Aldgate do lie upon the table, and that John Humphrey, Esq., be sworn in Alderman of the Ward. Alderman WINCHESTER seconded the amendment. The RECORDER, after considerable discussion on the forms, and' the objections to the return, put Alderman Brown's amendment, which was carried by a majority of to 4. Mr. Humphery was then sworn in with the usual forms. - VERFLAIVI PHILOSOPHICAL SO CIETY OF LONDON, DEC. 16, 1835. BODLEY BROCKHURST, ESQ., V. P., IN THE CHAIR. The President, Professor DEWHURST, delivered his 2nd Lecture on Phrenology, wherein he pointed out the utility of this science to mankind, both during the healthy as welt as the diseased conditions of the brain of man and animals. In the former, he explained its great importanceduring the progress of education ; and in the latter, its value as an auxiliary in the cure of mania. After these remarks, he proceeded to describe two of the animal propensities, com• mencing with the organs of Amativeness and Philoprogeni tiveness, illustrating his observations by quotations from the poets and dramatists. The organ of Philoprogenitive-• ness, or love of offspring, is found beautifully described in the love which Adah, the wife of Cain, bears for her child, as pourtrayed in the third act of Lord Byron's drama of " Cain," and also in the scene between Alonzo and the sentinel in Sheridan's " Piiarro," which was recited with so much effect that it was warmly applauded on its conclu sion by the members and visitors present. Mr. E. W. HARVEY read an interesting essay on the Command of Temper, and Dr. George Calvert Holland, of Sheffield, was admitted an Honorary Associate. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DREADFUL ACCIDENTS IN THE FOG.—SIX LIVES LOST, —Yesterday evening, an inquest was held before Mr. BAKER, Coroner, at the Town of Ramsgate public-house, Wapping, on the body of Mr. George Paton, shipowner, belonging to the Glasgow, aged 23 years, who fell into the London Dock on Wednesday evening, during the fog. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." Two inquests were subsequently held before Mr. BAKER and a respectable Jury, at the Half Moon and Seven Stars, in Ratcliffe-highway, on the bodies of W. Henry Greedy, aged 18 years, and John Meadows, 24, who perished by falling into the Hermitage Basin of the same dock, during the fog of Monday and Tuesday evenings. A Juror said a man walked into the same dock last week, and was drowned. The sacrifice of human life in the Lon don Dock every winter was dreadful. Verdicts that the deceased persons were accidentally drowned were then recorded, accompanied by a strong ex pression of feeling on the part of the Jury. On Wednesday evening, during the dense fog which pre vailed, several persons walked into the West India Dock, but were got out alive. Among them was a watchman, who, however, managed to swim across the Dock basin, and reached the other side, and got ashore. The people on the opposite side, not being aware that the watchman had ex tricated himself, threw in the grappling irons, and, after dragging for some time, brought up the body of a man who had not been missed. The corpse was immediately moved to the dead-house in Poplar churchyard, and an inquest will be held upon it this day. Yesterday morning, at an early hour; Mr. Fox, a sur veyor of Thames Police, and his boat's crew, while coming up Bow Creek, a branch of the River Lea, from the Thames, saw the body of a man lying on his back in the mud, ad joining the Orchard-house Warf, from which it is supposed he had walked during the fog into the water, which, on the tide receding, left him the mud. Fox and his men took the body ashore, and recognised it to be that of a man named John Higgins alias Elliott; whom he had met coming out of the Orchard-house publiC-house, in Poplar, on Wednesday night. .Higgins had resided for many years in' Essex-street, Whitechapel, and has left a wife and seven children. On Wednesday evening, a young man proceeding through Rotherbithe missed his way during the dense fog, and pro ceeded down one of the landing places into the river, and the tide being high he met with a watery grave. We re gret to state that several persons connected with shipping and the river are missing during the last three nights, who are supposed to have perished in a similar manner. Among thee% are the master and mate of two coasting vessels lying'in the Pool. FATAL ACCIDENTS TO CHILDREN BY FIRE.— , CAUTION TO PARENTS.—Within the last few days inquests upon the bodies of no less than ten children have been held, their deaths being occasioned by severe burns. On Wed nesday Mr. BAKER held four inquests at the London Hos pital on the respective bodies of William Nichols, aged six yea - is ; William Ross, aged fedi. years and a half ; John Godfrey, aged four years ; and Maria Flanders, aged three years. In each case a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAlLROAD.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held in the Board Room of the North London Hospital, Gower street, New-road, before I%lr. STIRLING, on view of the body of John Hodgson, aged thirty-five years, a miner, em ployed in the tunnel of the London and Birmingham Rail road, Primrose-hill, whose death was occasioned by in juries received in consequence of a quantity of earth fall ing upon him. Verdict—" Accidental Death." BROOKES'S.—ATory Tipperary paper says that the Earl of Donough m org has sent in his resignation as a mem ber of Brookes's, because the members have not adopted the foolish, faded Baronet's recommendation to expel Mr. O'Connell. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--Yesterday morning, be tween one and two o'clock, as police constable, Lumley, H 110, was going his rounds, he discovered that the lower part of the house of Mr. Howard, a turner, residing at No. 80, Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, was on fire. Finding that the flames were making rapid progress, Lum ley, with the assistance of a brother officer, Johnson, H 134, - .who had by that time arrived, got on to the leads, and from thence was enabled to get into the first floor, and by this means made his way to several rooms, in which different parties of the family were asleep, and awoke them. The flames by this time had made such rapid pro gress that neither of the parties had time to dress them selves, and but very narrowly escaped with the bed clothes, or whatever covering they could lay their hands upon about them. At one time, and when the flames were bursting forth from all parts of the house with the utmost fury, there were five of the inmates who slept in the upper part of the house missing, and it was generally believed that they had perished, and added so many to the frightful numbers that have lately fallen a sacrifice to the extensive fires in the metropolis. Fortunately, however, this was not the case, as they had by some means or other, but hov7 some of them themselves, from their excessive fright, are ignorant, succeeded in making their escape over the roof to the adjoining holfses ; and, being in a state of comparative nudity, they ran to, and took refuge in, the house of Mr. Flack, the sign of the Brown Bear, which was just opened. The house of Mr. Howard was completely gutted, and scarcely a vestige of the property it contained has been saved ; fortunately for the owner it was insured to an amount which will cover his loss. No account could be given as to the origin or cause of the fire ; but, as.there was a quantity of wood, chips, and shavings about the lower part of the house where Mr. Howard kept his workshops, it is supposed that a spark from a candle must have fallen amongst them previous to the family retiring to bed, and ignited them subsequently. • FIRE AND PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—On Sun day evening last, a fire took place in the house of Mr. Kilner, of Aldwark. Mr. K. had, previous to his going to bed, placed a number of coal sacks before the fire, and owing to the excessive heat, they had become ignited. It is somewhat remarkable, that Mr/and Mrs. K., who sleep over the kitchen where the fire took place, were not in the least disturbed during the night, neither were any of the neiihbours ; and consequently the fire was not discovered until six o'clrick on the following morning when Mr. K. got up to work, found all the sacks," -- a pair of shoes, and several chair backs totally consumed; beyond this no further damage was sustained.—York Courant.

Mostyn's Birdlime A Silver Cup is about to be presented to the Hon. E. L. Mostyn's groom, Blinkhorn, for his skill and integrity in train ing the Queen of Trumps for the Oaks and St. Leger. The Ailesbury steeple chasing will take place early in Feb ruary. A party of influential Gentlemen have taken upon themselves the arrangements, and are raising a subscription for the purpose of adding a purse to each stake. There is every reason to expect they will succeed in providing two day's sport. The steeple chase among the Officers of the Bth Hussars, quartered at Hounslow and flf.mpton Conrt, came off on Friday week. The conditions were:—" Horses belonging to, and to be ridden by, Officers of the Regiment, three miles across the country, 12st. each." The place of starting, chosen by the umpire, H. De Burgh, Esq., was, about three miles to the rear of Mr. Cox's park at Hillingdon ; and the winning flags were placed at the top of a rising ground, about three-quarters of a mile from the Uxbridge and London roads. The following horses and riders came to the post ;—Major Hankey's Bodkin (owner), Captain Shedden's The Beau (owner), Mr. Meeson's Alice Grey (owner), Mr. Dc Salis's Snob (owner), Mr. G. Browne's Presto (owner), Captain Tinney's Tom Jones (Mr. Mostyn). At starting Messrs. Browne and Mostyn took the lead. The Beau and Alice Grey well up, until reaching a common, when Mr. Mostyn got an awkward fall, in consequence of an " old woman" crossing him. Here Captain Shedden took up the running, keeping a line of his own away from the others, Major Hankey and Mr. De Salis going well together. About a quarter of a mile from home Alice Grey came out, taking her fences in beautiful style, and eventually won by a hundred yards with great ease. The Beau was second, Bod kin third, Mr. De Salis fourth, Mr. Mostyn fifth (who got another awful hurl three fields from home), and Mr. G. Browne last (who also got a fall). Major Hankey rode 221bs. above his weight, or he would have been very near winning. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.
