SPIRIT OF THE PLTBLIC JOURNALS. compromise the supremacy of the Crown—we must confess that the language of Lord Gosford is not so explicit as we could have wished. It would have been much more satisfactory to the Con stitutionalists to have been assured that their lives and property would still remain under the pro tective control of the British Sovereign. Lord Gos ford merely tells the Canadians that the demand for a "regulation to ensure the proper appointment of'Mem hers of the Legislative and Executive Council " is strictly within the line of duty of the King's Commis sioners to take into consideration, and finally to submit their conclusions on the subject to his Majesty's Ministers. Now, with our experience of Whig Com missions, we have a right to mistrust this trifling with the grand principle which is at stake. There should have been no wavering—no diplomatic mystery—about this notable project of the French party. It would have been more manly and statesmanlike to have avowed at once that the Crown would not sacrifice this valuable prerogative to have. it transferred into the hands of the Canadian O'Connell. A Radical organ does not attempt to • conceal the manoeuvres of Pa pipeau. In an article, which evidently emanates from the paid agent of revolution in this country, it states— " Why should not the House of Assembly pass a Bill al tering the Constitution of the Council—just as our House of Commons will, at no very distant period, bring in a .Bill to alter the constitution of our House of Lords ? But would the Legislative Council pass such a Bill ? Certainly not. How then, is it to become law ? Simply thus—let Lord Gosford be provided with forty blank mandainusses, and let there be a Creation of Peers,' for the express pur pose of bringing the measure through. This is quite in ac cordance with Constitutional principles,' and would, with out doubt, take amazingly." This declaration is explicit, and we cannot but la ment that Lord Gosford did not speak out on so im portant a question. We shall look with much curiosity to the next arrivals for further details of the proceed ings of the Royal Commissioners.—Morning Post. From an intelligent _gentleman who has recently tra velled in Prussia, and who takes a strong interest in the reform of our criminal code, we have learned that the Prussian Sovereign, though an absolute Monarch, has a strong aversion to capital punishments, and is bringing about the abolition of those cruel and useless exhibitions by a practical amelioration of the law. The crime of murder is the only one now punished with death in Prussia. Would we could say so of Eng. land I To show the gradual amelioration of the law as to executions even for murder, and along with it the .gradual diminution of the crime itself, let us take a period pf 15 years, ending with last year, and divide it into periods of five years each, it will be found that, in the first period of five years, the number of con victions for murder in Prussia was 69, and the execu tions 47. In the second period the number of con victions was 50, and the executions 26. In the third pe riod the convictions were only 43, and the executions were diminished to 16. We showed on a former occasion that the gradual diminution of capital punishments in Bel gium, and their practical abolition during the last five years has been attended also with a remarkable reduc tion in the amount of crime. So unnecessary are ca pital punishments proved to be for the protection of Society—unnecessary, did we say ?—they are worse than useless ; for where they are most prevalent crime most abounds. Why is it that the despotic Govern ment of Prussia is more tender of shedding the blood of its subjects than the constitutional Government of free and enlightened England ? Now, let us take for England and Wales a period of 21 years, ending with last year, and subdivided into periods of seven year.; each—we are obliged to take those periods instead of five years, because they are the . periods fixed upon in the Parliamentary Returns (No.: 217)—what are the results ? In the first Seven years we find that the number of executions for various offences was 649, there being 141 convicted of murder. In the second period the executions were 494, the convictions for murder being diminished to 113. In the third period the executions were reduced to 355, the convictions for murder being diminished to 105. Thus we see that in this country a reduction in the number of capital{ punishments has been attended with a diminution Of the number of the worst class of offences. But does it not reflect deep disgrace on the rulers of the English nation that the enforcement of ,the laws which are intended to repress crime should be so san guinary, compared with the practical application of the laws in Prussia ? To show the relative disproportion rae punishment in the two countries !pore clearly, let 1;s take a glance at -the relative population of 1)0111. The population of Prussia, according to the official census of 1826, was about 12+ millions. The population of England and Wales, according to the census of 1831, was upwards of 13,800,000. There fore, in 1826 the population of the two kingdoms must have been pretty nearly equal. But what an awful disproportion between the amount Of human life in the, one and the other kingdom annually cut oil' from society by e the sword of the law ? The Prussian Government loOks more to the ieformation of offenders, while our GWII rulers are• but too much disposed to believe, in spite of all experience, that the great efficacy of criminal law is in its exterminating examples I When we speak of the rulers of England in connection with the • severe enforcement of vin dictive law, let us do justice to the Supreme Ma gistrate, and separate the character and feelings of our august Sovereign from those of his constitu tional advisers. We know that George IV. was exceedingly averse to executions. We have upon the best authority the fact which we formerly mentioned of his anxiety to save the life of a subject against the opinion of the Members of his Council, and his frequently endeavouring, by earnest and protracted argument, when the Recorder of Lon don's report was under consideration, to induce them to change their minds, and to prevail upon them rather to advise mercy than sacrifice, for as the King of Eng land is not an absolute Monarch like the King of The Tory Journals, conscious of the weakness of their expiring party, and driven to recruit their dimi- Dished ranks with any Swiss they can enlist, would have the credulous portion of the community—the timid and indifferent, a miserable minority, utterly .destitute of any influence on. public opinion—believe that the long " threatened revulsion," or, as the cant phrase is, "a reaction," is now about to take place in good earnest. Every reflecting person will detect the imposition when the " apostate journal" leads the pack with this deceitful and well-known party cry. The followin g is an extract from the " apostate journal :"—" In Northampton shire, Sir G. Robinson, formerly a member and sup- Lorter of the Whig party, who proposed the present ord Fitzwilliam for the county in the year 1832, has now aiven Mr. Hanbury a flat refusal to vote for him,—and Why ? Because, on O'Connell's declara tion at Newcastle that the 'Whigs now are not the Whigs they were five years ago,' and on his (Sir (George's) own opinion, that the present Whig Ministers have the violence, without the honesty, of professed Radicals,' (which is luminously just and true), that they are about to sacrifice the Church of England and Ireland to appease the insatiate appetite of Irish Priests and English Dissenters, that their organ and Lord Mulg,rave s patron, O'Connell, has declared war against the House - of Lords, 'and that Mr. Hanbury, the Whig candidate in opposition to Mr. Maunsell, is still a supporter of that same repro bated Ministry. He, Sir George Robinson, so far from giving Mr. Hanbury his vote and interest, wishes heartily that he may be defeated. This from a ge nuine Whig l Again, read the address of the Hon. and Rev. Littleton Powys, another stanch Whig, to his tenants and parishioners, at Titchmarsh, in the same county of Northampton, in further testimony of a revolution already begun—a revolution in political feeling—an abandonment of dishonest men by the ho nest ; and then answer, whether there be not yet hope for, England, or whether there still remains a spark of it for the forsaken of their principles and their country, the unhappy vassals of those arch enemies of Great Britain—'Popery, slavery, and arbitrary power.'",— There is not a word of truth in the statement respect ing Sir George Robinson, as far as respects the Sir George Robinson so conveniently cited as a laudable example of political apostacy. The present Sir . George Robinson is not the individual thus cited. The Sir George Robinson, uncle of the present Baronet, who was many years a representative of Northampton shire, and who proposed Lord Milton, died last year, And to the day of his death was a stanch supporter of the Whigs, and of Liberal principles. The present Sir George Robinson, his nephew, is a Parson, who was always considered. - a sham Liberal, and as a person wearing a political disguise during his uncle's lifetime for substantial reasons. The real Simon Pure of the Northamptonshire Conservatives cannot influence half a dozen votes ; while his•uncle possessed not-only ex tensive personal influence, but the weight of invariable consistency and integrity as a Public character. So much for the Reverei2cl Sir George Robinson, whose backsliding wilt have no local effect in his county. Again, as to ." Honour able" and other " Reverend" Littleton Powys— here is a second " trifling mistake." This " other stanch Whig" is a notorious Northamptonshire-Tory. The family of the Po,.vvses were " constitutionally" Tories till :he Noble nephew of the Reverend Little ten i'owys_the 'present Lord Lill—adopted ral opinions, and was,justly reckoned as an enlightened seceder from Toryism. The Reverend uncle cannot influence the votes - of his own parishioners, nor even poll his-plrish clerk, and Lord Lilford is the avowed supporter of the principles of Mr. Hanbury. More over, Sr Culling Smith; a stanch friend and canvasser of Mr. Hanbury, was cradled in a Tory family. Sir Culling Smith, on Tuesday last, in a canvassing speceln very pertinently observed, as reported in The Sun of- Saturday, " I come for the express. purpose of promoting- the return of a Nctuber of the same principles as the present Government, and I can not understand what the Tories want to govern fne unless merely to get into place, for all Re for2is will be carried into effect, all abuses remedied, , and 15urdens equalised, by Lord ALlbourtic's Ilinisrv." Thus far, at least as regards histl('C iNiurtha adininistered vaunted' rev: 131011 IS a gross . . • hnposnaon But the tactics of the Torica are notcon fine:lto false claims of conversion. Quacks, in ad vzrtisio:a eures, always run do , ,vn regular practitioners. iona- their numerous devices is that of burlesquing the opinions and professions of _their opponents. (Ma a few days since the " r:state jburnal ticatco its readers to a palpable untruth, directly irrouthia to Mr. Simo:on of York, an attempt to get two, , infant ma'oas, his children, christened 14' ill° mock names of " The Earl of Kent " and - t‘ the Marquess of Yorkshire," thereby im puting republicanism to the parent. infants of the age of those upon whom Mr. Simpson was thus reported to have wished the waters of bap tslii,to be poured would scarcely be the dupes of such rcraoc:l falsehoods. Why was :\i L r. Simpson, a re spectable and intelligent inhabitant of York, thus ma ligned mod injured ? ,Simply - . because he was the recent acaive Cheirman of a liberal candidate for that city ; and therefore it was thought expedient to asperse his character. The whole story was a fiction, as is vouched by a letter which we received to-day from a highly respectable. correspondent in York. But thus the Tories seek to delude the country for a time, by claim ing conversions for which there is no foundation, and by imputing to their opponents political opinions and republican doctrines they ncver professed. That cause must be in a failing state which requires to be thus propped by falsehood and calumny.—Morn. Chron. The progress of events in Canada cannot fail to at tratt. the most fixed attention. and excite the most in tense interest among all parties who have a regard for the maintenance and prosperity of our colonial poses- Sions. The Administration of Sir Robert Peel was 11‘.: persnaded of the vast 'importance of the subject, and judicious and conciliatory measures were in con templation to bring the existing disputes to an adjust ment which, while it did not compromise the dignity and honour of the mother country, would effectually re :-;:lond to the luipes and satisfy the constitutional and tional wishes of the loyal population of Lower Canada. The present Government, following the excellent ex ample of the late Cabinet, and departing from the for mer course of Whig policy, sent out a Royal Commis sion, with instructions to endeavour to heal the differences originated by the 'Trench faction, and excited and encouraged by the revolutionary de magogues at home, who have substantial reasons, like those of Mr. O'Connell in Ireland, for carrying on a system of agifation destructive of the best interests of the inhabitants of Lower Canada. The first seeds of the labours of the Commissioners have been sown. 'That they may produce good fruit must be the sincere wish of every Englishman who anxiously looks for ward for the happiness and worldly welfare of his fel- Aiw-countrymen, and their descendants, in distant .lands The speech . of Lord Gosford at the opening, of the session of the Le9i,slature of Lower Canada, on the 27th of October, is published this day in our co lumns. It is a very lengthy document, but it is one w hi c h otT bt, nevertheless, to be attentively perused, the whole bearings of the question are care fully and elaborately treated, and will no doubt be much canvassed and discussed by th e peop l e o f Canada. How far the sentiments expressed in the address will operate towards a happy settlement of the alleged grievances cannot •as yet have been ascertained with any degree of certainty ; but th e indications already manifested in Lower Canada do not inspire much confidence at present. The designs of Papineau aim at a total exclusion of the British inhabitants from the Canadian Parliament, and from the exercise of any power in the executive Govern ment. It is impossible to conceal from the public this proposition on the part of the French faction. If the appointment of Members of the Legislative Coun cil given up by the Crown, and rendered elective, Canada would be lost to us for ever. It is to be hoped that the . House of Assembly will not sanction the views of the factious on this' vital point. But, at the same time that we trust that the Royal Commissioners are .properly instructed to resist sternly—that they are not invested with a particular authority to of c:itrci- Prussia, the public must be aware that it is unconsti tutional for him to extend the mercy of the Crown to a criminal, unless in conformity with the advice of his responsible Ministers. We also know that to sanction the execution of a subject costs his present Majesty a great struggle and great pain ; not only that, but he is accustomed to urge every point that can strike a con siderate and humane mind in favour of the prisoner whose case is under consideration. It is greatly owing to his Majesty's own merciful anxiety to save the lives of his subjects, that the extraordinary and unprece dented circumstance has occurred that, during a period of two years and. a half, there has been no execution in the metropolis of this empire, under a jurisdiction. which, extending over the City and the county of Middlesex, embraces nearly one million and a half of people. Where, then, is the necessity for the great number of executions, that annually take place in other parts of England ? Two criminals are now ordered for execution, in the county of Surrey. Their crime, and the remembrance of it ought to be buried in the silence and seclusion of the prison-house. The attracting the curiosity and attention of young and old to the offence by the pub lic spectacle does great mischief to public morals. It pollutes the imagination, and tends to disseminate the depravity. There is a place set wholly apart for such culprits in the House of Correction, Cold-bath-fields, where they cannot associate with others, and where ju dicious coercion, moral discipline, and seclusion pro duce their due effects upon the wretched offenders. This prison, we have reason to believe, is under ex cellent management. At all events, if its moral disci pline should fail to convert such offenders, its walls and bars can prevent society from ever being' contami nated by their presence. There are crimes which it is better for society should be covered with the oblivion of the solitary cell than dragged under circumstances of horrible interest into the light of day. Copies of re ports of such executions are hawked about the .streets and villages—disgusting details are given to gratify a vicious curiosity—and thus the exterminating severity of the law, is made instrumental in polluting the morals of the people.—Morning Herald. Curiosity not unmixed with uneasiness had been for some time entertained with re g ard to the proceedings of the commissi on t o the Canadas, of which Lord Gos ford, appointed also Governor. General of those in teresting provinces, is the chief. A copy of the speech delivered by his ExCellency on the 27th ult. has arrived, and will be found in another column. The conflicting interests, or more correctly speaking passions, by which btuoria 9 d THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1831 the course of government and legislation has for these few years past been disturbed, especially throughout the lower provinces, and a spirit raised on one side, which seemed capable of being appeased or satisfied with nothing short of a substantial separation from all controul by the Imperial Government, however the sovereignty of • the King - of England . might in words and for a season have been acknOwledged, have had the unfortunate effect of throwing every day fresh difficulties across the path of a just and - solid accommodation. There would be no wis dom, because there would be no honesty, in denying, that much of the discontent, which from small begin nings has grown to so painful and formidable a pitch, and served as a stock whereon to ingraft the bitter fruits of animosity and disaffection, may have taken its origin in a system of overbearing and provoking mis government. There is no doubt that the same leaven of unrighteousness, which has before now caused a . fermentation in other colonies of Great Britain, has been more or less mixed up with the administrative measures pursued by successive Governors of Canada ; overlooked, if not connived at, by the Colonial De partment here ; and that until within these half dozen ' years, little pains had been taken to employ any cure, or even palliative, of the increasing mis chief. The list of Governors-General of Canada -- contains, we suspect, hardly any names but those of military men ; mid amongst them the single offi cer whose name, as' a civil administrator, was really popular with the Canadians was that of the unlucky Sir George Prevost, who forfeited by one fatal error in the field all the honours, and they were not a few, which he had richly earned by his services as a civil .and political functionary. But Sir George Prevost was a Canadian born. In the earlier stages of colo nial existence, and when the colonists cannot help themselves, they submit of course, and without an attempt at resistance, to whatever policy the parent State may adopt, and to whatever grievances, thereby entailed upon them, her officers and representatives may inflict. Jobbing in all its branches has flourished throughout the British colonies—corruption under every form—and despotism, exasperated only, but sel dom checked or mitigated, by remonstrance. The abuses were borne because the colonists were weak. But the Canadians becoming gradually more sensible of their own importance, and encouraged,. as well by their ripening strength as by their close proximity to the United States, and hourly intercourse with Repub licans, have latterly been given to multiply their com plaints, and to enlarge their claims, until they pretty clearly intimated that " self-government" was the grand prize for which they contended, or, in other words, if strictly construed, a deposition of their • colonial cha racter, and an absolute release from the dominion of the British Crown. We do not profess to state mi nutely the several topics of dissatisfaction, an inquiry into the justice of which was the declared object of Lord Gosford's mission ; but among - the constitutional changes proposed by the malcontents, one would ap pear to be the total transfer of the power to nominate the Legislative Council from the Crown to some de scription of colonial electors. We gather this father indirectly from a passage towards the close Of the speech delivered by Lord Gosford, than from any formal proof within our knowledge ; but such a concession would amount at once to monopoly of all the powers of le gislation by the democracy of the province, depriving the Crown through its local representative and his ad visers of all effective'clieck and all substantial authority. This we take for granted will hardly yet be given up. The present is not the time to argue the question .whether colonies are beneficial or otherwise. That question has been practically decided by Great Britain, whose empire may be called a colonial empire—and whose commerce, which is identified with her maritime power, is supposed by most people to depend upon the retention of her transmarine possessions : into that question, we repeat, we arc now called upon to enter. England_ maintains the Canadas, as essential to her western commerce : and, 'having so decided, she is bound in common consistency—first, to make her do minion as easy as possible to herself, by making it to them a beneficial and conciliatory Government ; second, not to proceed in the way of concession to the demands of the colonists beyond that point at which her sub stantial power over them stands unimpaired end perfect. A discussion upon the detailed subjects of Lord Gus ford's speech might not be very interesting to our readers generally. Its tone and spirit are mild in the extreme, and even deprecatory of the disapproval of those to whOm he addresses it. We heartily wish his Lordship and colleagues a successful issue to their arduous enterprise. If the gentleness of the speech be met by a corresponding temper on the part of Mcssrs„Papinean and Company, greatly shall we re joiceand not a 'little, we frankly admit, will our pre sent hopes of good be exceeded.—Times. The abandonment by the Tories in their speeches and writings of all appeals to argument and reason, is perhaps one of the highest compliments that could be paid to the intelligence of the British people.. The reasoning portion of the community could no longer brook the outrages committed on common sense by the false assertions and sophistries by which it was attempted to delude it—consequently the Tories have changed their course of discussion, and, as a forlorn hope, appear now to direct their attention solely to the ignorant, prejudiced, " brutal," bigoted, and intolerant. In proof of this we need only refer to the leading Conservative journals for the last six months. First, a .horrible shadow was attempted to be cast on the progress of Reform by the unreal mockery of Dens 's ghost—and, like Banquo's issue, " Popery," " Slavery," " Arbitrary power," " Reli gious persecution," " Murder," and " Protestant Ixtirpaticn," were conjured up and paraded in ter rific and awful array through the vista of futurity. Then a lady, calling herself "Priscilla," demented by alarm and fired by sectarian fury, poured out a . woful denunciation, declaring she took " the ten vir gins for example," which was eagerly copied into a leading journal, as the language of inspiration, and made the subject of a lugubrious commtntary. Next, after this lady of ten virgin power, came mutilated ex tracts from Commission Reports, which the public were assured caused " an unprecedented sensation," a fact which would never have been even suspected were it not for the far sighted vision of the Times. These ludicrous absurdities were interspersed, not relieved; with the grossest and most disgusting abuse of the nt Ministy and Daniel O'Connell, without prese -- AziL whom it would appear that certain journalists might throw down their pen for lack of argument. All this time it was firmly contended that the feelings of the country were decidedly opposed to the existing Go vernment, and that the people yearned after the re newal of Tory domination, with its plunderers and persecutions. Accustomed as we are to the duplicity and falsehood of Conservatism, we imagined that this assertion originated in a delusion rather than wilful de ception, and so strongly did this impression operate upon us, that when we lately perceived a leading Ja nus-faced Journal announce that a " great revulsion of sentiment had taken place in public opinion," we imagined it to be an a d m i ss i on that the p eo pl e wer e awaking to their true interests, that Toryism was at a discount, and that the Times itself was once more turning round to the popular cause ;—but we were mistaken—the " revulsion of sentiment" is against, and not in favour of the Cabinet of Lord Mel bourne ; and, as it is asserted, " Constitutional Re form," whatever is meant by the phrase, is to be effected y by " a strong C onservat i ve Govern ment." Amongst the first, and he nce we i n f er th e gravest, charges against the Government, is, in the language of the Times :—" The manifest, though tacit, encouragement given to the outbreak of fac tious blackguardism in both countries, much of which we deem it an honour to have had directed against ourselves." We are glad to find the Times cry out against " factious blackguardism : indicates reform where it was much wanted, though it is difficult to refrain from laughing at any complaint on that score and from that quarter. The letter of Sir Francis Bur dett respecting O'Connell is , hailed as a s y m pt om of the " revulsion of sentiment . " This address," as is stated, " was to the feelings of gentlemen, not of Whigs." As Sir Francis is classed with the latter, we leave him to acknowledge the compliment thus im plied in the jonrnal which first published his letter, and we are inclined to believe the appeal from the " new Whigs to the old" will be as little acceptable to .~;:,. s.._ - '_ all those who disgracefully abandon genuine Reform principles for the alliance of the most abandoned and profligate faction that ever cursed the destiny of any country.—Morning Advertiser.

COLBUBN S MODERN NOVELISTS.— CHEAP RE-ISSUE IN SHILLING NUMBERS.—This undertaking is devpted to the re-publication, in an elegant form, and at a remarkably cheap cost, of those works of fiction that have already gained a high degree of public estimation—of those indeed, that may be termed Cl ass i c N ovels, s i nce they have, with Sir Walter Scott's productions, mainly contributed to place this captivating description of literature in the distin guished station it now occupies. M r . C o lb urn ' s copyr i g h ts , in fact, c omprise a series of the very b est fi ct i ons o f mo d ern t i mes . With such a host of popular names as are contained in his prospectus, he may safely set all rivalry at defiance ; such an opportunity for the formation of an excellent library was never before offered to the public. The 7th number of this interesting publication consists of th e first part of Mr. Bulwers " Disowned," which, like his " Pelham," is to be completed in six weekly numbers, for One Shilling each, with four embellishments by Finden, KING'S BENCH-MONDAY. MOSCATI V. LAWSON. This was an action of libel. The plaintiff bad already tried an action against the defendant, the printer and pub lisher of the Tim ws newspaper, for the publication of the same libel. The defendant had justified the several parts of the libel, and had called several witnesses, who fully made out the justification. At the end of the defendant's case, Mr. Baron Alderson, the Learned Judge before whom the case was tried, suggested to the plaintiff that he had better withdraw a juror. - The defendant's Counsel. acceded to the proposition, and one of the Jury having seconded the suggestion of the Learned Judge, the plaintiff, who con ducted his case in person, consented, and a Juror was ac cordingly withdrawn, and the cause terminated. This was on the 11th of February. On the 22d of June the present action was commenced, and in the early part of the present term a motion was made, and a rule obtained to stay the proceed ings, on the ground that the action now commenced was in breach of good faith—the defendant having, out of mercy to the plaintiff, acceded to the suggestion of the Learned Judge, by which the plaintiff was saved from liability to costs ; whereas, if the case had gone to , the Jury, he would have been compelled to pay them. . Sir F. Pommetc now showed cause against the rule for a stay of proceedings. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the rule. Rule absolute. BAIL COURT.-MONDAY. EXPARTE GLOVER IN THE MATTER OF HOUSEMAN ; AN INFANT. This being the day appointed by the Court for the per sons named Willes, who have the custody of the child Houseman, putting in a return to the habeas corpus which had been issued, it was read and filed. Mr. STEER, on the part of Willes, opposed the delivery of the child to the ap plicant Glover. The affidavit of Glover, he said, contained assertions and insinuations reflecting upon the character of his client Willes, altogether without foundation. A desire ,to.get money from Mr. Glover was attributed to Willes as the reason why he was unwilling to give up the child. But his (Willes's) entertaining such a motive was totally in- , consistent with the declaration which ' he had made to the I Court—that he was anxious to be allowed to keep posses s:on of the child purely from affection for it, and that he re quired no payment whatever for its maintenance. Mr. BAYLEY was heard in support of the application. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE observed, that the usual grounds for issuing an habeas corpus, and acting upon it were, to, protect the subject in the enjoyment of his liberty.' It was a means of proceeding which might with propriety be adopted when a child, whether legitimate or not, was taken away from its mother or father, and they wished to have it restored to them. The present was a case, however, which rested upon different grounds, and one with which he doubted the right of that Court to interfere. He would give the question further consideration, and express his final determination with respect to it in a day or two. Willes and his wife then left the Court with the child. They were apparently much gratified by the result of the proceedings. • COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY. Mr. Sergeant WILDE showed cause against a rule ob tained by Mr. Kelly against the Marshal of the Fleet Prigon, calling upon him to show cause why he kept locked up in the strong 'room .of that prison a debtor of the name of Angle. On the 20th of this month a warrant for felony was lodged in the Marshal's hand against Angle, charging him with forgery. The Marshal,. considering that the pri soner had great motives to induce him to escape from prison, locked him up in the strong room. - Mr. KELLY on a former day obtained a rule calling on the Marshal to shoW cause why he did 'not admit the pri soner to the same privileges as other debtors. The Courts, taking into consideration all the circum stances of the case, discharged the rule against the Marshal. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD to-day applied to the Court for a rule nisi calling on the parties concerned in the late Ips wich election to show cause why they did not pay the ex penses of their opposition to the petition. This application was made under the 9th of George IV., which 'ernpoWers a Committee of the House of Commons to mulct parties in costs. Upon the Speaker giving his certificate of that fact the parties are bound to pay. The Speaker in this instance gave his certificate some time since, and the expenses of the opposition still remained unpaid. Mr. Sergeant WILDE. as the queStion was one of vital importance, hoped the Court would appoint a- time to have it solemnlydrgued. The COURT concurred in what fell from the Learned Sergeant, and - said that they would appoint a day in the next Term. EXCHEQUER COURT.-MONDAY. WANLEY V. SMITH. This was an action upon a bond given by the defendant to the overseers of the parish of Myddleton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, to . indemnify them from all liability to charge for the maintenance of defendant's illegitimate offspring. The bond was given before birth, and by it the defendant bound himself to defray all costs of maintenance, &c., of his child, so that it should not become chargeable to the parish. In the progress of time the child grew up to manhood, married, and, after he had arrived at the age of twenty-one, became chargeable to the parish. The overseers brought their action upon the bond for 20/., costs incurred in maintenance. To the declaration the defendant pleaded that the pauper, having attained his majority of twenty-one years, - the bond was no longer obligatory upon him. To this plaintiff demurred. Mr. HENDEItSON now argued in support of the demurrer. The COURT considered the•plea a good answer to the declaration. The chargeability of the party, as contem plated by the bond, ceased upon his coming of age. EX PARTE VISCOUNTESS KIRKWALL. Mr. MILLER applied to the Court for a writ of-habeas corpus to bring up the body of Viscountess Kirkwall, who had been forcibly carried off under very extraordinary cir cumstances. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state that certain individuals, Whose names he weal(' not in that stage of the proceedings mention, had pro cured the arrest of the Viscountess Kirkwall, to answer sinister designs of their own. Her Ladyship, knowing that there were writs nut against her, had been obliged to conceal her place of abode. These debts, he ought to mention, remained unpaid solely because the Earl of Ork ney, her Ladyship's father-in-law, prevented her from re ceiving her rents. Two actions had arisen out of these proceedings, and in both he was instructed. While these suits were pending; her Ladyship, only a - few days ago, was arrested by a sheriff's officer, and carried to a lock-up house. While there, she communicated to her attorney her suspicion that Lord Orkney entertained some project against her personal liberty, and she instructed him to apply to that Court. She had not long been detained at the lock-up house before she was informed that she was at li berty to leave it, her debts having been settled. Upon her descending to the street door she was seized and forced into a carriage, Lord Orkney taking his seat upon the box. The carriage drove off rapidly, notwithstanding the cries of murder and loud supplications for aid uttered by the Viscountess. Representations were made at the time that the party were only going to take their prisoner to White cross-street ; but upon enquiry in that quarter, no such person was to be found. In fact she had not since been heard of. Mr. Baron PARKE—Do yOu know who now detains Lady Kirkwall ? Mr. MILLER—It is supposed she is in Lord Orkney's house, about 20 miles from London. Mr. Baron PARKE—You may have your writ ; and let it be made returnable the day alter to-morrow. Habeas granted, returnable last day of Term. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. LEIGH V.'IvIACAULEY AND ANOTHER. Mr. StmiuNsoN moved for a writ of attachment against the defendants, Z. Macauley and T. G. Babington, under the following circumstances :—ln August last the plaintiff obtained an order, calling on the defendants to pay a sum of money (1,6551.) into Court, but he had experienced great difficulty in his attempts to find them, and the result was that he had not been able to serve the order upon them. Another application was consequently made to the Court, the object of which was to get the order amended, so that the service of it at the last place of residence of the defendants might be deemed good service. That ap plication the Court granted. The present application was made on the affidavit of Mr. Tudor, the plaintiff's solicitor. —Ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. B 0 W-STREET. . Yesterday a respectably-dressed young man, named James Todd, was charged with having stolen a very extra ordinary formed child named Henry Webb Tipping. The child was brought into the office wrapped in its mo ther's shawl, and its appearance excited very great curiosity and attention. The age of the child is five years and two months, its height 2.7 inches, and the weight l llbs. It was further stated that the child when born weighed only I lib. When placed upon the floor he seemed greatly pleased with the crowd of gazers, and ran about the bench and the body of the Court playing all sorts of lively antics, in the usual manner of children of the same age. The formation of the head was most extraordinary, its being sufficiently small to admit of its being put into a vessel less by a fourth than a quart pot ; and the visage though exhibiting a good deal of lively intelligence, was so sharp and thinly formed as to present an.almost unnatural appearance. The father and mother lived at a place called Dyer's Drove Farm, near Copper's Gap, in the immediate vicinity of Brighton, and for some months past the child had been living with, its grandfather at Crocker-hill, near Farehanl, Hampshire, from which place it suddenly disappeared on the 9th instant. A stranger had been seen about the neigh bourhood for some days prior to the disappearance of the child, and he was supposed to have gone off with it. Infor mation was forwarded to the parents, and they came to Lon: don, and gave information to the different station-houses of the police. Inspector Moran set about making the proper inquiries, and succeeded in tracing the defendant to a public' house in Weston-street, near St. Thomas's .Hospital , i n the borough, where he found him with the child in a back-roo m ' He took him into custody, but there were several persons', the room, who interfered, and the child, " somehow or other was smuggled out of the room. The inspector, however' afterwards succeeded in tracing them both to a h_ouso the New-cut, near the Victoria Theatre, and brought them to this office. The parents said that they had both (the mother esr cially) endured great mental affliction in consequence of the absence of the child, as, from the peculiar formation, th i l had reason to fear that it had been taken away for some it''' . proper purpose. The prisoner admitted that he had brought the child t° London, but for no other purpose than to exhibit it to we faculty as a lusus naturx. He said it was not the first time he had had the care of the child, because some time ago h e was exhibited at Bath, his (prisoner's) native city, with o°' ther dwarf, and he had the management of the ex hibitio . The child was then under the care of an aunt, the mothers sister. ' t The mother admitted that such was the fact, but 33,-1 was during the whole time in the custody of the aunt. The prisoner was then discharged on promising to paY tbe expenses incurred. Q UEEN-SQUARE. James Allen, alias Abbot, the manager and proprictor o the Deptford Theatre, who was on Saturday committed 1.1) trial on a charge of embezzling a check for 1 71., the pr el i i party of his employers, Messrs. Sherwood, Pratt, Thorpe, the Parliamentary agents, in which firm he had i ° l some time been principal clerk, was yesterday again plan,` at the bar, in order that another case of embezzle' might be gone into against him. Mr. Prett stated that he had given the prisoner a chc" if" upon Messrs. Drummond for 421. 7s. 7d., drawn by biro', to pay-to the account of their law-stationers, Messrs. cher and Co., of Parliament-street. Shortly afterwalv the prisoner absconded, and upon inquiry it was asc er t, tamed that the check had been paid into their banke r ' through other hands. Mr. Baston, a lace-manufacturer, of Wood-street, Cl o Pi side, deposed that the prisoner, whom he knew well, bag ge r of him, as a favour, to cash the check, which he sai d had received as part of his salary. Thomas Rush, a clerk of Messrs. Drummond, producect to - A the check in question, which had been paid in and plaec u Messrs. Sherwood's account. 'The prisoner made no defence, and was fully co:rnmi ttel upon this charge also. Mr. Prett said that the firm had a third chargeS ag 3l l him for embezzling a check for 301., upon which th s. ll° `' prefer a bill of indictment. till. Tne prisoner applied for leave to traverse his Via'. the,next sessions, An order that he might have s .., , affia' time to consult with a professional adviser. ti Mr. Prett said, on behalf of the firm, he should not ject to affording him every facility. to M Bu' .ELL stated that it was out of his over air. alt. states aiat rt postpone the trial ; application. must be made to the u.q u se i in the usual way. The prisoner was then fully corralli t to Newgate. SHOCKING MURDER. r way to The deceased was on his Netherbv, in pu rsto n , " of his vocation as a chimney-sweeper. He called at 0: 1 5 town on his road, and it being hiring-day, he spenti`e• night with several young men of the town in the ov,l houses, and in rambling about the streets with m usio 4 flags. A great number of strangers had also attende d 0 hiring, following the miscellaneous callings o d dealers in hardware, soft goods, cleaning of hats, dealers in hare-skins, while others appeared to, cas e k t it, uninitiated of their money by means of pricking- the u c o , thimble-rig, lottery, and other means of cheatery. S cf , e i l e teen of these persons had taken up their lodgin“s 11 ' house of one Sarah Martin, an old drunken wowan in West Main-street, where, in one small room, holsding three beds, without regard to sex, married or single,.
