as minutely as though he had :been one of the 'lndian Chiefs, from top to toe—his face, his figure, and his apparel. By the way, we do not wander that they should have thought it necessary to record an account of his clothes, for Daniel seems cer tainly to have dressed the mountebank to the very life. We are told that he had on a green coat, a green waistcoat, green trousers, and (what a vain and absurd old man he must be t) a green cap " encircled by a gold band." The rioters will certainly have something to see for their money if Dan goes home so clad, but still 15,000/. a-year is rather too much fori the sight. The proof however, that curiosity, and i that alone, attr ac t e d hi s au di ence , an d t h at Ikleasiel saw and was mortified by the fact, is that he was at great pains to insist that it could not be curiosity that brought them all, though he admitted it might have brought some of them. Our Whig London press tells us how he was cheered : did they ever see even a bear dance with music ? With regard to Daniel's perform ances, they were two in number—one in the morning to the mob, and the other in the afternoon at the feed. They were, however, in all respects the same as his performances at Manchester and Newcastle ; that at the last-mentioned place being, as we showed, a mere repetition of the Manchester one. In all we find the same topics harped upon; the same stale jokes reiterated, the same lies unblush ingly re-asserted, the same abuse as coarsely and as copiously poured out upon Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington, and the same object proclaimed as the aim and end of his mission—namely, " the preaching down of the House of Lords." It must be admitted, however, that we observe in his speeches at Edinburgh stronger illustrations of the force and truth of °rattan's most happy description of his style of ora tory—" His rhetoric is a gaudy hyperbole, garnished with faded flowers, such as a drabbled girl would pick up in Covent-garden, and stuck on with the taste of a waiting woman." Still, all, all is as weary, stale, and flat as it is unprofitable (to every one but himself), and we recommend him, by all means to take a month's run in the " Groves, of Blarney," or he will assuredly break down even as a mob-orator : and then what will the Whigs dq ? It will be recollected that we have twice gone trough all these topics—the whole of Daniel's stock in trade for English and Scotch agitation, and fully exposed his falsehoods and his wickedness. We take it for granted that it will not be expected even of our patience and perseverance that we should once more perform that task. Besides, we do not believe any more faith is now attached to a speech of Daniel O'Connell, than to an asseveration of Baron Mun chausen, or Major Long-Bow. To one or two points of his Edinburgh spea‘ however, we shall be glad to direct the attention of our Scotch friends, and particularly such of the Scotch people as are not so grossly degenerated as to have ceased to appreciate the glorious stand their ancestors made against Popery. Daniel told his Scots audience that he was for the " voluntary principle" in religion. We believe him. But why is he for the " voluntary principle?" To suppose that a Papist—a spiritual subject of the Bishop of Rome—whose mind and conscience in all matters relative to religion are more bound and fettered than are the limbs of the fresh-caught African in a slave-ship— can be, in the ordinary acceptation of the words, " for the voluntary principle in religion," is to suppose the grossest absurdity that a swim man was ever yet brought to hear without bursting - his sides with laughter. And such a Papist too I He who went down upon his knees in the gutter to the priests in the town of Ennis ! Oh nal this is not what Daniel means. The object he has in view in asserting, like a Jesuit as he is, the " voluntary principle" in England and Wales and Scot/and, is to establish it in Ireland—in other words, to destroy the branch of the Protestant esta blishment in that country, and set up Popish supre macy in its stead ; while throughout the rest of these Protestant dominio ns h e w ill h ave gone as f ar as man can go to overthrow the whole Anglican establishment, and to set men's opinions floating in a sea of doubt and darkness and of danger, without a single star to steer by. And for this work, next to the establish ment of Popery in Ireland, his church will most thank him. We entreat the sober people of Scotland to ponder well on these things, and not to be deceived by the stalking-horse of politics which covers the ap proach of those nets the Papists have so carefully woven, and Daniel works so cunningly to spread. Another point of this Edinburgh oration is Daniel's charge that Sir R. Peel praised the late laws of Louis Philippe, coupled with an insinuation that Sir R. Peel would not hesitate to introduce the same laws in this country, if he had the power. The charge is a cool, a deliberate, unmitigated lie ; and the insinuation is, if possible, still more base, because while Daniel cannot believe there is the slightest foundation for it, he knows that he may persist in it with impunity, as it is not a thing capable of refutation. We do not recollect in the whole annals of political feuds any instance of such low-bred grovelling basen ess as th at w hi ch i s mani fested in o'Connell's attacks upon Sir R. Peel. Who can have forgotten the painfid---the almost torturing— sacrifices Sir R. Peel made -upon the question of Ca tholic Emancipation? Yet this savage now taunts him —nay, bullies him fb , ehind his back)—because he did not pass the meaazre sooner. In a year or two, we suppose, we may eearpect to h ear some woo ll ey -h ea d e d black agitator rep. ()aching the Imperial Parliament for not having given at an earlier time the 20,000,000/. that set the Ple.ves of the West India colonies free. A still more iarpudent falsehood of this bad shameless man relative to Sir R. Peel—though, considering the quarter from which it emanates, not so revolting as the other— is his charge that Sir R. Peel would have left the grievances of the Disssenters, as to marriage, &c., just where he found them. Can he suppose that all the world has forgotten Sir R. Peel's Bill, which ren dered the marriages of Dissenters valid if performed before a Magistrate ? There must be some reason for all this envy, hatred, and malice, against Sir R. Peel ; we believe we can tell what that reason is, and, if we are right in' our conjecture, the conduct of O'Connell in his slanderous and venomous attacks upon that Right Flonourable Baronet, is more unmanly than tongue or pen can describe. Before the registration of that vow of his in Heaven, which has made him such a pest on earth, O'Connell received a hostile message from Sir R. Peel. He accepted it ; they were to meet at Calais, whither Sir R. Peel immediately repaired, and waited the arrival of his antagonist. He waited in vain. Daniel's heart failed him. He came to London, loitered and lounged about—showed himself in all the most public places of resort—proclaimed the object of his` journey, and of course got himself taken into custody. Daniel never recovered this ; 'and soon afterwards the " vow in heaven " was resorted to as a specific against the recurrence of similar accidents. We leave this little history to the consideration of our readers. And, , now we have almost done with this performance of Daniel at Edinburgh, which will be found at much greater length than it deserves, elsewhere. We must not forget, however, to notic e , that he told the Scots that the Duke of Wellington " hired " this paper. That is a lie he borrowed from some writers of the Whig press. We hP.ve told those writers collectively, —we would tell `,:ilem individually if we knew who they were—that. they , lie fo u ly an d wantonly, when they say that this paper has been bought o r hired by any indivichaal, or any num b er of individuals, or that its course is influenced by aught but our own unbiassed sense of - what the public we a l d eman d s. W e do not tell 0 4 C onne ll that he is a liar, because we know .iat answe r he would make us if we did. He would say— " Queen Anne is dead" —Times. We entirely agree with the Standard that a public subscription, especially one carried on in England, is not the way in which the wants of the Protestant Clergy of Ireland should be relieved. To any such proceeding its manifest injustice offers an abundant ob jection ; for let it be remembered that the distresses of these persons do not originate in any act of Providence ; such as blight, hurricane, or general failure of crops ; but actual robbery. The tithes, which they areas much entitled to as the landlords to their rents, are in existence, are withheld from them by force and fraud, And pass into other hands. Must we add that great part of them at least pass into the hands and pockets of the landlords, who quietly standby to see the Clergy, as they long have done the poor, reduced to absolute want, while they pocket the means which ought to go to the suppkt of both. We know that there are nuns- , bet) who will take fire at this, and declare that it is not the case ; nor do we mean to say that it is yet in reality universally so. But is there any one bold enough to assert that it is not already partially so, and that the extinguishment of tithes, at which the ene mies of the Protestant Church df Ireland are labour ing, do not tend to pttt the incomes of its Clergy into the coffers bf the land-owners ? If such be not the case, we rio not know in England what the difference meaning is between a tithable Alla a tithe-free estate. and to It may be said, a certain degree with truth, that it is the Catholic holders of tithes who arg -with holding. tithes. But are we not with equal, or huh& Neater truth told, that the bulk of the randed pro perty of Ireland is hi the hands of Protestant owners ; and who are, therefore, the persons, after all, whO will be, if they ate not already, most benefited by this plunder of the Church, in which It may be said the Catholic peasantry, under designing leaders, are the plunderers, the Protestant landlords the receivers. If this imputation be true, or even if it be untrue, that the Irish landlords are' deriving advantage from the robbery and injustice under which the Protestant clergy now labour, there can be no doubt, we should think, from what source relief should issue. In many cases there doubtless are leases which may prevent any im mediate advantage accruing to the landlord; but they must be strangely ignorant of the relative situation of landlord and tenant, and especially of the kind of influ ence which the one possesses, and as occasion offers can exercise, over the other, who can have any doubt that, in many cases at least, the situation of the clergy as to the income of their benefices need not be what it is, if that influence were as warmly exerted for their be nefit as it has been unhappily used to their disadvan tage. At any rate, to call upon the English public to subscribe to their support would, indeed, be a most un exampled instance of degradation and injustice, while they who are the natural givers of bounty, if it is in deed to assume that complexion, quietly pocket their benevolence, and, in some instances at least, the very plunder which this subscription proposes to replace. Without the smallest feeling of enmity or injustice to wards them as a body, we cannot too often repeat that the landowners of Ireland are that class of the commu nity of the two countries who have least felt the pres sure of the times, and who are deriving incomes far superior to those which any other description. of pro perty produces. As compared with tl e l an dl or d s o f England, they enjoy an advanta of full 100 per cent., and that, in no small k t:. •., ree , at the expense of the former, who find thf:inselves forestalled and undersold in the market Iv an untaxed producer ; and the same with lahq'tir ; while both English and Irish are main tainA by the law of which Ireland abstains from hav ing any parallel. Can it be a question, then, who should maintain the Irish Clergy—that is, if they are doomed to be robbed—and an O'Connell-bound Go vernment sits still and allows the plunder to be perpe trated ?—Morning Herald. In respect to the di s pl a y of oratory the past Sess i on of Parliament has, upon the whole, been unpropitious to Mr. O'Connell. He made his election to act upon the Cabinet by means of his tail, rather than upon the House of Commons by means of his tongue, and thus dexterously converted all the Ministerial Members, the Ministers themselves not excepted, into dependents and retainers. Omnipotent in the morning meetings at Lord Lichfield's, and Downing-street--exercising a paramount and irresistible influence over the delibera tions of the Cabinet, overawing Lord John, domineer ' ing over Lord Melbourne, laughing to scorn Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Spring Rice—Mr. O'Connell was content to limit his Parliamentary performances to a few altercations with the honest Representatives of Ireland, who invariably prostrated him, and to one or two solemn appeals to the Deity in support of state ments which he kn ew wou ld, in a very few days afterwards, be proved utterly false. Such having 'Seen the career of Mr. O'Connell during the Ses sion, it was manifestly necessary that he should do something immediately after the prorogation to sustain his fame as an orator. It was in this part of his public character only that he had suf fered. In all other respects his reputation was more flourishing than ever. He had during the session told a greater number of lies, committed and been convicted of more flagrant perjuries, established and carried on more mischievous intrigues, plotted more deeply and with more powerful confederates for the ruin of Great 'Britain, than in any former equal , period of his life. In these respects there was no lost time to be redeemed. It was not necessary that he should hasten to Ireland to make his bow, and assume his position at Lord Mulgrave's Court. It was only as a'declaimer that he had lost ground. It was chiefly as a brawler that lie had been chastised. Nothing, therefore, was of so much importance ,to him as to show to the inhabi tants of some of our larger towns that if any of his faculties had seemed to be suspended they were not dead—that he still retained the power to brawl and to declaim. We have not followed the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin throughout the various stages of his brawling and declaiming tour. Our respect for our readrs forbade us to do so. It was enough for them to know in gener'al that the great Irish agitator, the main prop . of Lord Melbourne's Government, had been exercising his powers in some of our large towns—that the Whigs and the rabble had applauded him—while, as they must have anticipated, the respectable classes of society turned their backs in unaffected disgust and contempt. But the visit of Mr. O'Connell to Edinburgh was attended by circum stances which entitle it to a more extended notice. In Edinburgh the great and indispensable supporter of the Whig Administration was deserted by the Whigs —yes, deserted, slighted, scouted, insulted, ad visedly, cautiously, after full and mature deliberation. The Edinburgh Whigs were not taken unaware by the approach of the man who for a whole session had kept the Whig Ministers in place. The invitation which had been given to him by the Radicals of that city was a matter of public notoriety. The Whigs were invited, urged, conjured, to assist in giving weight, splendour, and importance to the meeting by which he was to be received. They were told, in a printed address, by Mr. Tait, published a fortnight or more before the expected arrival of Lord Melbourne's ally, that— " Mr. O'Connell has ever exerted his transcendant ta lents and well-merited influence on the side of freedom and amelioration ; and, at this moment, he and our honoured countryman, Mr. Hume, are the two grand supports of Lord Melbourne's Administration—the most liberal Admi nistration that this country has yet seen." They were further admonished by the same autho rity in the following terms, which we quote literally from his pamphlet on the subject : " 1. see, by the London newspapers, that Mr. O'Con- D.'"dil lately dined with Lord John Russell, the able leader of the Whig party in the House of Commons. Will any Edinburgh Whig say that, because he does not approve of all the principles Mr. O'Connell maintains—although he cannot help approving of his general conduct, and more especially of his conduct since the accession of the Mel bourne Ministry—he cannot be one of those who are to receive Mr. O'Connell at a public dinner ? I trust none of my Whig fellow-citizens will be so very strait-laced. By giving a dinner to Mr. O'Connell you do not compromise your principles ; or, to speak more correctly, you do not assume or sanction those principles which he openly pro fesses, but of which you have hitherto disapproved, or to which you have hitherto expressed no adherence. All that can fairly be said of you, on account of your presence at the O'Connell festivity, is that you wish well , to Ireland, and that you show it by your entertaining publicly her great Liberator, of whose general conduct—especially of whose recent conduct—you approve, although opposed to his re ligion, adverse to some of his political principles, and not prepared to assent to others." But Mr. Tait laboured in vain. The Whi g s would have nothi ng whatever to do with Mr. O'Connell in Edinburgh, much as they liked his aid, and that of his tail, in St. Stephen's. We may, perhaps, be expected to give the Edinburgh Whigs some credit for this. We cannot give them any. In any man other than an adherent of Lord Melbourne's Government it is meri torious, no doubt, to avoid any contact with such a being as Mr. O'Connell. But in an adherent of Lord Melbourne's Government, we can only regard this conduct as a proof of the most wretched inconsistency and the blackest ingratitude. We do not hesitate to say that the Edinburgh Whigs have shown themselves upon this occasion to be among the very ba ses t of Whigs. To sho w h ow complete the desertion of Mr. O'Connell by the Edinburgh Whigs was upon this oc casion, we shall insert here the entire list (fortunately we can do this without much sacrifice of space,) of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 18356 persons, whose names ' are deemed presentable in a friendly report, present at the dinner " Mr. O'Connell entered the room at halt-past five, and was received with loud cheers, which continued for a considerable time. The Chairman was supported on thg right by lAr: O'Connell, Mr. Tait, Dr. Bowring,Lt IR; Dr. Epps of London, itoV. Nisbett, touncillors Richardson, Mendell, and Councillor Mitchell of Leith, &c. Upon the left by Mr ; r 'ituthVeri, M.P. for Dublin, the col.;ague of Mr. 0 - onne .r'o 11 M.

Millar, officiatted Our readers Will 'Peie k..liVe that in this list of names there it Weil hsillgteWhig, and, what is more remarkable that among the very few, who are ,kupWit to a 03,7: body, there is not a single flediChlUan, with the exception of Mr. Tait citd Gillon. There are Dr. Bowring and Dl. Ipps, Mr.Ruthven and Mr. M. O'Connell, noneof them Scotchmen, we believe. The rest are all obsonie Edinburgh Radicals, We should have been happOse a• lebrate the praise of the Edinburgh Whigs for withhold ing their presence and sanetion from this dirty and con temptible set-out, - were it•not evident from their Oirt statements that their absence arose from feelings and motives more dirty and contemptible ever), if that be possible, than the jubilee which they refused to partake. We will quote no hostile or suspicious authority for our assertion that the Edinburgh \ ' thus insulted Mr. O'Connell, not for the purpose of upholding any public principle (they are, we believe, incapable of such an idea), but in order merely to pose upon the people, and to give themselves a better chance of success at the next election. An Ediu , burgh correspondent of the Courier, described by that paper as " a friend," shall explain the conduct of the Whigs : " Most sagaciously did the Whigs act in keeping aloof, and whatever leaning you have towards a contrary opinion I think in time you will admit 3 , 011 P Qettt: Had there been no Church of Scotland question I think the Whigs would have acted most absurdly In looking coldly on O'Connell, but in the prosent of that controversy frig do se would result to their political sway in the Scots counties had they - joined in welcoming him to Scotland: Thu WhierS tdlitibt shut their eyes to O'Connell's itillnenot fttid power ; they cannot conceal from thoinseivet that but for him Lord Mel- Lourne's uhnitahle Ministry could not have existed a week t but tilt) , know that, as the head of the Palsts, he it tie= tested by the mass of the Presbyterians throughout the counties. Some will say, why offend so very powerful , a person in the polities tit the country by your coldness? The parson who asks such a question should know that the amour propre of the great agitatOr may be somewhat ruffled by the secession of a segment of the Whigs, but such a line of conduct, deeply grounded in prudence, can never influence him in great and beneficial political mea sures brought before Parliament." This is the apology offered by a friend of the Whigs for their insulting neglect of Mr. O'Connell, by whom their party has been kept in place throughout the ses-. aion, it involves a confession . as disgraceful to the Whigs as it must be gratifying to all honest men. There is nothing in the painciples or conduct of Mr. O'Connell which they dislike so much as to have been induced thereby to renounce his dinner. But the people who make Members of Parliament in Scotland do not afford Mr. O'Connell their confidence or esteem ; and, therefore, although the Edinburgh Whigs trust the Honourable and Learned Gentleman most entirely, and entertain for him the most ptofound regard, they cannot be seen at a banquet given in his honour. It would be fele do Se—a crime which the Edinburgh Whigs are of all men most cautious not to commit. The voters of Scotland are not O'Connellites, therefore the Whigs who are O'Connellites must be careful not to show it. It was not disapprobation of Mr. O'Con nell's conduct in Parliament, although, on the floor of the House of Commons, he invoked the Deity in at testation of a known falsehood ; it was not the belief 'that the possession of forty votes in the British House of Commons by a single individual is plainly repug nant to the British Constitution : it was not the know ledge that Mr. O'Connell had exercised his dominion over the Administration to promote Roman Catholic objects, and to destroy the Protestant Church, that made the Edinburgh Whigs absent themselves from the dinner. They absented themselves simply because by being present, they knew they would lose many thousands of votes at the next general election. We had intended to conclude this article by quoting some of the more prominent passages of Mr. O'Connell's morning and after-dinner speeches at Edinburgh; but after a careful perusal of those productions, we confess we cannot find any thing in them that deserves a place in our columns.—Morning Post.

Yesterday John Sheering, aged thirty-two, the well known informer, was indicted for conspiring (with three other persons not in custody) to defraud Messrs. Hanbury, Trueman, and rewers, of Brick-lane, Whitechapel. Mr. Sergeant Co., LABIN summed up the evidence. and the Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. John Murphy was indicted for the manslaughter of John Connelly, on the 29th of June, in the vicinity of St. John's Wood, on the line of the London and Birmingham Railway. The prisoner and the deceased were shoemakers, and had occasionally been employed in the same shop. A few days before that stated in the indictment a quarrel took place between them, and which was agreed to be settled by a pugilistic contest. The parties, accompanied by their re spective friends, proceeded to St. John's Wood, where they commenced fighting, and repeatedly knocked each other down. Towards the conclusion of the fight, they both appeared to fall from exhaustion. In the last round the deceased fell, and the prisoner on him. The former ap peared insensible. He was subsequently carried to the Eyre Arms public-house, and a surgeon was sent for, who examined the deceased, and ordered him to be conveyed to the hospital, where he died. On a post mortem examina tion there was discovered a quantity of extravasated blood in the vessels of the head, which was the cause of death. The cause of the extravasation arose either from a blow or, a fall. None of the witnesses were able to state which of the parties struck the first blow. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN here stopped the case, by ob serving that the prisoner was indicted for manslaughter. The Jury accordingly acquitted the prisoner. James Regan, aged twenty-five, and Thomas Perkins, aged twenty-four, were indicted for stealing a trunk, containing wearing apparel, of the value of 101., the property of Mr. Greenwood, wine-merchant, of Fencburch-street. The Jury found the prisoners guilty. The prisoners were then called up for judgment, and the COURT sentenced each of them to be transported for seven years. _ _ John Willis, aged forty-nine, was indicted for stealing a carpet bag, containing money and jewellery, from on board the Royal William, a Margate steamer, the property of a young lady of the name of Margaret M'Henry. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN—The Court will take care that you do not go on board of steam-vessels again for some time. The sentence of the Court is that you be transported for seven years. Robert Woolley, one of the swell mob, was indicted for stealing a purse containing ten sovereigns, the property of Count John Tysziewicz. There was a second indictment, charging the prisoner with assaulting Thomas Dallow, while attempting to take him into custody. The facts of the case have been so recently before the public as to render a repetition unnecessary. The prisoner denied both the offences imputed to him. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported for life. The Court adjourned at half -past five o'clock until to morrow (this day.) MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday, Mary Anne .I.psey, aged 12, a lavender seller, was indicted for stealing the sum of 27/. 18s. from the person of Mr. John Hurst, on the 24th of August. The prisoner, in her defence, declared in the Kerry ac cent, that she was innocent, and, affecting to weep, said her poor fader was confined at home with a lame foot, that her poor mother was dead, and her brothers and sisters withoni a sowl to take care of them, and that she sould lavender to get a bit of bread for them—that she was sitting on the step of a door, when some person going by thre w th e purse into her lap, and she did not know what it was, and then a jantleman came up and touched her on the shoulder, and said that she had robbed him. _ The Jury found her Guilty ; and The CHAIRMAN, after observing to her that she was well known, and not fit to remain in this country, sentenced her to be transported for seven years. John Brown, aged is , was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief, the pr o perty of some person unknown. The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned in solitary confinement for fourteen days. John Brown, aged 19, was found Guilty of stealing two night-shirt.%T t od other articles, the property of R.

The story, the fancy o f v ;;:ich is placed in our days, hangs upon the atro cious conduct of the daughter of the Earl of Tremordyn.

A most impudent vagabond;. named John Casey, was tried for having assaulted an officer in the mention of his duty. tie ea±t was amusing, from the unabashed manner in which the prisonef cieui6d the truth of every word uttertil against him, and made his defence , Casey hod, ' in conjunction with a tiototiolis smasher named Nell Drown, endeavoured to pass a bad Ing,crewn piece. Thompson, an officer, was called, and seized him, but Ncll griped the officer by the arm with her tusks, - and Casey throw the base money through at grating, and made a desperate blow at the officer with a trowel, The arm of another officer, however, averted the blow. This statement was fully confirmed. The prisoner declared that all the witnesses deserved to be pilloried for swearing to such lies, after having drunk a quantity of gin at his e*pense, and promised to say nothing against him. He had been spitting blood for eleven week; in prison, and he supposed he was goin g to get six more months. He might as well be transported at once. They told him what they'd get for him. The RECORDER—One of the, witnesses says you raised the trowel to strike another. Prisoner—Oh, he'd swear—it's his business to swear, — anything against such a poor fellow as Inc. The RECORDER—Have you any witnesses ? Prisoner —Excellent witnesses ; but they're in Kent. Who'd think about calling witnesses when these people all drinked at my expense, and swore they'd never say a word but in my favour?—(Laughter.) The prosecutor and witnesses said there was not a syl lable of truth in what the prisoner uttered. Verdict—Guilty. The prisoner (shaking, his head at the Recorder)—Be as merciful as you can ; I don't deny that the woman was a bad 'un, but I meant nothing of the kind, please you, my Lord. The RECORDER—Your offence is very bad. You as saulted the officer at the very time you were endeavouring to commit a depredation on the public. Your sentence is imprisonmeot and hard labour for three calendar months. KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday Edward St. Quentin, Esq., was summoned before H. Codd utid F. Barlow, Esqrs., sitting in Petty Sessions, to show cause why he refused to pay certain ar- NUS of poor rates for extensive premises and land at Ken sington Gravel=pits, late in the occupation of a Mr. Ban nerman, to the payment of which he was liable, as original landlord, the tenant having quitted the premises, leaving the poor rates unpaid. Mr. Wilson, solicitor, of Southampton-street, Blooms bury, who attended on behalf of Mr. St. Quentin, denied, his client's liability, on the ground that, although the original landlord, he had never been in possession of the premises, or rated for them. Mr. St. Quentin had been a great loser by the tenant, and had only received a portion of the rent, which he had obtained under a warrant of dis tress, which portion, he contended, was not liable to any charge for poor rates. Mr. Strother, the collector, on the other hand, contended that, under the third section of the local Act (7th Geo. IV.) " the landlord, owner, or lessor, of every house , building, tenement, &c., in the parish," was liable to the payment of all arrears of poor rates left unpaid by the tenant at the period of his quitting possession. The same principle was acted on in most other parishes. The Bench, however, on referring to the Act, found the clause applied only to the landlords of houses, &c., " the yearly rent whereof shall not exceed 201." As the rent of the property in question amounted to 5851. pet annum it was clear Mr. St. Quentin was not liable. The summons was accordingly dismissed. Mr. Robert Hume, who was summoned under somewhat similar circumstances, objected, on the ground of his not being the landlord of the premises in question. Mr. Strother said his reason for summoning Mr. Hume was because he understood that gentleman was in the re ceipt of the rents. Mr. CORD said the Act specified that the person re ceiving the rent of any house, &c., in the parish, " shall be deemed or taken to be the landlord" of the same. Mr. HUME, however, contended that, although in the re ceipt of the rent, he was not the landlord of the house in question. The fact was, some time since he received a bill of exchange from the owner of the premises, who had since been insolvent, which, when due, being dishonoured, he was authorized to receive the rent from the tenant, as it became due, in liquidation of the amount. He did not receive it as rent, but as cash on account of the proprietor, and had no power to distrain on the tenant if not paid. The Bench, after conferring together, decided that Mr. Hume was not liable, he not having that interest in the rent contemplated by the Act. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a well-known young thief of the most despe rate character, named John Sullivan, was finally examined, charged with several acts of highway-robbery. Mr. HALLS fully committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. . _ _ The prisoner, during the time he *as at the bar, behaved in a most abusive and ruffianly manner, and as he was leav ing it in custody, turned round to the poor woman Sanders, who had identified him, and, with a savage grin, said, " You will swear a man's life away just for your expenses ; God's curse on you for ever." John Williams, alias Joseph Russell,, alias Quiet Joe, was brought up by Ellis, the principal officer, on a charge of having robbed a farmer, residing near Bristol, of eleven 51. notes, on the Ist of September list. The prisoner said nothing, and .was ordered to be sent off to Bristol. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, Thomas Jenkins, alias Field, Frederick Thomas Jenkins, his son, a boy about eleven years of age, John Sealy, Thomas Nunn, William Moss, John liztrrowes, alias Nash, Sophia Jenkins, Mary Ann Carmen, and Ann Williams, were brought before Mr. LAING, in the custody of Halls, Duke, Sergeant Ashton, and Reynolds, the officers, charged with being coiners, and utterers of base coin. Burrows was committed to the House of Correction for three months, and the other prisoners were remanded. Andrew Birnie, a boy twelve years of age, was charged by Josiah Dean, an inspector of stamps, with selling un stamped publications. Dean stated that he saw the prisoner calling out the Weekly Times, a new publication, Cleave's Gazette, &c. The prisoner purchased them in Shoe-lane, as waste paper. He was committed for ten days. Thomas Labron was charged with a similar offence. Mr. LAING asked how he procured his livin g ? Pri soner—l am a clerk out of a situation, and I sell books and such publications. Mr .LAING—Then you know that you are doing wrong ? Prisoner—l am very sorry, but I was compelled to it through necessity. Mr. LAING—That is no excuse for committing a breach of the law. You are committed for ten days to the House of Correction. MAR YLEBONE. William Goodlad, a vendor of watercresses, was yes terday placed at the bar before Mr. RAWLINON, charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Goodlad, aged sixty-five. The prisoner (who is a tall athletic man) was committed to await the result of a coroner's inquest. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Davie Morrison, a " wee mannie," in a pair of-" High land " breeks," and without a shirt, was brought before Mr. Chambers yesterday, charged by the police with having been found in Leicester-square, at " ae wee short hour ayont the twal," lying on his back, snoring lustily from the effects of prolonged potations of " barley bree." Mr. CHAMBERS—HOW came you to get drunk, Mr. Morrison ? Davie—,l dinna think I was just preceesely what ye wad ca' drunk ; but there's na doot - I was a wee bittie the waur o' liquor.

Mr. CHAmma—Well, and why don't von wear it ? Davie—Wear it. 1,11 mon! Do ye no ken that's jus t the vary way to dirt the linnon, and to gar it wear oot. 11 , Mr, CHAMBERS—WeII, Mr. Morrison , I p romise you ~ on your nob visit you are brcvght before me again I won : allow you to go without fining y o u, or making you put bail. I'll discharge you this time. The " Modern Athenian" shouldered his bundle ' .and walked away, apparently well pleased at the issue of th e interview. UN10..1 7 : LIAM— Yesterday Samuel Allen, an old ma; of 70, and ne°,lsr blind, was brought before Mr. JEREMY. charged with sta. 1; ter marrying• with Rebecca Jarvis, his former tviiD beiug The prisoner was given into custody by the first wiCe ,arl , aged woman, to whom he was married thirty-one years at , They lived together for a period of twenty•nine years, du: ing the greater portion of which time they led what ivcr termed " a dog and cat sort of life." Two years ago tbeir quarrels were so frequent, and their animosity having' inci eTeas,ed rather than diminished with their years, he titre.e n her out of the house, and soon afterwards " to ok unto boi self another wik," with whom he was living at the tirne,°o his being taken into custody upon the present charge. CP I second wife,who is a young botincing woman, on being that her evidence would be important in convicting the V I ; soner of the offence, refused to come forward, sayill -t h ; she did not wish to hurt the hair of her poor dear old man head. n( 1 The Magistrate said that the testimony of the second wife was indispensable, and she must be compelled to ar informet! pear, whether she was averse tq it or not. The old lady, who was the prisoner's first wife, was ried to him at.lslington church in 1804 ; they had been Pr,: vionsly living together as fellow-servants in a on the family, he' as a gardener and she as a cook, a nd wedding-day she brought him twenty pounds as ber riage portion.
