They g in many respects, land has always acted towards Ireland has been are of a higher literary character than are not a to prevent an amalgamation of races—to keep up , few of the politicians that illumine London, but they are nevertheless but ceurvy geniuses at the best. Their dissertations reflect little credit on their sagacity, their prudence, or their liberality. They seem to breathe the free air of liberty, and enjoy the freedom of discussion, like men who have long been manacled and confined in a dungeon. They are, besides, better acquainted with the literature of Europe and the gossip of Paris, than with foreign politics,the commerce and trade of theirown country, or the character and institutions of England. Thus it is, when they venture be. voud the limits of a narrow circle, which em braces public spectacles and insular topics, that they commit the most amusing blunders. They moreover retain all their national antipathies. Nothing inspires them so much with the amor cloquentia: as the glory of arms, the glory of conquest, the glory of being as great in foreign enterprises as they persuade themselves they are at home in their own opinions, and in the opi nions of the whole world. They forget that but yesterday they Were wider the regime of the allied troops ; that but yesterday the Duke o f Wellington was governor of liaris ; that but yesterday they received a c harter ; and that but to-jay they have been permitted to lucu brate without the fear of the police scissars, and the contumely of bread and water hi a filthy prison. But their press being emancipated they will at once presume to libel their benefactors, and heap unsparing :Aise upon us, upon our Government, upon our first Minister, upon our foreign measures and our domestic policy. Th e Viscount Chatcaubriand is most conspicuous among these new-fledged politicians. Be lays down the law as if he were developing a plot in a novel. He is verbose, superficial, romantic, liberal, selfish, ignorant, all in one display. He is like a cracked amateur mountebank who ap pears at the same moment in the orders of a peer and the rags of a sans culotte—in the attire of a nobleman and the patches of a vagrant. He is as industrious as any " gentleman of the press need be—he works as if he still earned his bread—the ruler at an attic school, the monarch of seven Cheapside scholars, who grate unintelligi ble grammar and bad French at the humble charge of seven and sixpence per lesson. He descants upon time laws of nations as if he were an Envoy at the Court of Hayti, and he criticises political movements with as much freedom as if he were reviewing a pamphlet devoted to the rules of chess or analytical of the holy waters of the Jordan. With the Noble Viscount we do not quarrel about gold lace, marginal notes, the ar rangements or the colours of the bouquet, the length or weight of epaulettes, or the merits of certain silly or ridiculous ceremonies. All that we complain of is, that lie employs his acknow ledEed talents in discussing subjects which he does not understand. He writes upon English character and British policy somewhat in the style of a danc master illustrating Euclid ; and he affects to settle the affairs of Greece in the manner of a French artiste promulgating the last favourite discovery in the art of cooking an oyster pate. The man who never joined any party but to render it contemptible—he whom his friends cannot trust —he who has been expelled from all the coteries that he professed to adorn—he whom both ultra and liberal have refused to trust—who has ex posed the former to ridicule, and has been de spised by the latter—is not a man whose cen sures we in England think it worth the pains to refute, or whose wild political reveries we con sider entitled to notice. In bestowing our cour tesies, therefore, upon the speculations of the French press, we beg leave to put the Noble Viscount aside. His lectures arc so impregnated with nonsense, that no further antidote is re quired. Our chief object in this article is, to call the attention to a paper in the Globe, a Parisian • journal, which has lately been quoted by our Eng lish liberals. It professes to be a review of the po licy of the Duke of Wellington. The Old Times has just published the article, and, therefore, we presume that its sentiments are known. Tho article in the Globe to which we allude bears all the marks of having emanated from the Ilus kisson or the Grant school. It is a tissue of misrepresentations, silvered over with a modicum of personal and paltry insinuations. It is, like all the effusions of Mr. Charles Grant, a sleepy production—redolent of cant and redundant of ignorance. In it we are told that the Duke of Wellington " is the scourge of the country and of die world ; but the scourge is felt by that country, and he cannot long retain his autho rity." We are further assured that " the Ad ministration of Wellington cannot last long in its present condition (that is, since Huskisson and I Grant have been kicked out of it) ; it will perish, however, not because it oppresses or weakens England, but front want y . talents. Talent is thefirst quality required in a Ministry by our neighbours the English ; they cannot, therefore, be completely satisfied with the Administration of Wellington." Then follows a host of com pliments lavished on Mr. Carmine.. To assume that this article was written by Mr. Grant would be to assume too much ; but that it never was written by a Parisian is manifest. But taking it tc, be so—admitting that it is of Paris fabric, what are we to think of the paltry scribe who indited it ? The Duke of Wellington's policy has been to let France run the hazard of her own speculations. He has chosen to inter fere in the disputes of Greece, and the Noble Duke conceives, as every man of intelligence knows, that she will involve herself in unnecessary ex pence and great difficulties by such foreign policy. Her troops are not required in the Morea—she goes there at an inclement season, and, whatever be her object, her ulterior mea sures will unquestionably be under the controul of the fleets of England. She can have no sup plies but such as may be received from France, and these are at our mercy. The journalists of Paris may prate, and speak of glory, and anti cipate honour and renown by having a French army to occupy Greece, and numberless en gineers to measure•the fragments of her ruins and inhabit her desolated temples; but the existence of this army is at the mercy of the naval power of Great Britain.—Netv Times.

MANSION-IIOUSE•---ExTiutoantsArtv CAse.—A respectable young man, who keeps a tobacconist's sl.:op, was charged by an old apple-woman, named Elizabeth Fitz g,rild, and her daughter, with having beaten and kicked them most unmercifully. Mts. Fitzgerald stated, that she went into the defendant's shop for a, little tobacco, but she did nut get half measure, and she put it back, after having been dreadfully abused by the tongue of the woman in the shop. When she and her daughter, who was with her, walked out, the defendant ran out after them and struck and kicked them to pieces. —(A laugh.) Mr. llobler.—Pray, Mrs. Fitzgerald, how often have you been here? Brady (the street-keeper).—She has been one hundred times here. ..... Mr. Hobler.—And what is your daughter now ? Officers.—She is a common proqitute, and her mother knows it ; and a common thief, too, and her mother en courages it. Several respectable Ivitnesses deposed, that Mrs. Fitz gerald's conduct was very different from what it had been described to be. She went into the shop, in which a little girl ieiNetl behind the counter, and watching an oppor tunity, flung some tobacco dust into her eyes, no doubt with the view of robbing the shop, upon confusing the child who was alone in it. A holy who was in the par lour, however, observing the mameuvre, ran out, and the old woman, finding that she had no chalice of success, uttered sonic horrible expressions, and left the shop with her daughter, who was all the time behind her. The de fendant sever struck a blow. _ The ALDERMAN committed the old woman for the assault upon the little girl in default of A NEW SrEctes or Fie .% un.—Yest enlay a young man of decent appearance was brought before Alderman ANSLEY, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged under the following singular circumstances The prisoner went to the house of Messrs. Peake, the tea-dealers, in Coleman-street, a few days ago, and or dered about 40/. worth of t' a, and other articles, to be made up fir him. He stated that he would call in duo time for them, but he forgot to call. The articles, how-- ever, were not made up. Three days, afterwards he called, a:ad made sonic excuse for not having kept his word; and he ordered 71. worth of tea to he packed for him. He had two large bundles at the time, very neatly packed up, and apparently containing valuable property ; and he re quested that the person who was serving c ustomers would put them on one side for him, until he should return, when he should pay fsr the order. The shopman t:id so, but the prisoner, upon returning, offered to pay but part of the amount, and told him that he would discharge the whole. if the articles and the two bundles were sent home. A a some trick was suspected, and Messrs. Peake would not do business except for ready money, the shopman re fused to have anything to do with the prisoner, and de sired him to walk off with his bundles. An-officer, how- ever, who had heard of the transaction, and who believed that the bundle's contained smuggled goods, thought proper to apprehend the owner, and take him to the Mansion house, where an examination took place. Mr. Alderman ANst.rv—And pray what is in the bundles? Prisoner—What is in them ! Why there's fan tic in them—powder of faustic. Mr. Alderman ANSLEV-Faustic! What do you call faukie; do you rill it by that name ih your bill of parcels Pri , oner—Yts ; no doubt of it. I ant in the habit of buy. ing quantities of it. .111 r. Alderman ANSLEY—From whom ? Prisoner—l don't exactly know his name, nor do I know where lie lives. Mr. Alderman ANSLEr-And it is fautic ? Prisoner-- Ace, excellent. Mr. Hobler—You mean fustic, my friend ; but I sus pect that it is something else.—(A laugh.) Prisoner—l assure you it is the right sort; I gave 3d. a pound for it. Mr. Holder desired that both bundles should be opened. All eyes were fixed upon them while the officer cut them, and out poured a quantity of sawdust, to the astonish ment and amusement of every one. Several of the officers stated, that this was a new mode of deception which had been practised with great success. A fellow went into a shop, appeared to be laden with valuable goods, put them into the custody of the shopman, for the purpose of blinding suspicion, and often got pos eession of property, the premise to pay for which was never performed. The prisoner was observed to smile several times during the examination, and was remanded till Monday. GUILDHALL..---James Abbott, the leather-dresser, in Fetter-lane, who stands charged with maliciously cutting or ;tabbing his wife, underwent another examination yes terday before Sir PETER LA URIE. Carlisle, the officer, put in the certificate from St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, stating, that Anna Abbott was not sufficiently recovered to attend and give evidence, but she was in a fair way for recovery. Robert Fitzgerald, of No. 1, Fetter-lane, occupied the lower part of the premises, where he carried on the busi ness of a shoe-maker, and the front room on the third floor opposite to that in which the prisoner lodged.— Early in the morning of the day when the offence was committed, he overheard the husband and wife quarrel- , ling ; hut all that he remembered to have heard dis tinctly was, that she said, " James, what do you want me to do ?" to which he replied, " To take care of y our family and your home ;" and her answer was, " I must go next door." Between eleven and twelve o'clock in the day the prisoner called him into his room, and said be wanted_ him to advise fur his gotal. He told hint he would do it with pleasure if he was able, and the prisoner proceeded to tell him that he and his wife lived very uncomfortable together, and ehe was untrue to him ; did nut attend to the children, and neglected her apart ment, which witness saw was really in a very dirty plight. Ho wished her to stop at home. Sir P. LAURIE asked the age of the wife, and her cha racter in the house—whether there were any whisper ings respecting her that her husband's suspicions were not unfounded. NVitness said she was about 28. She was sober and at home at nights, and he heard no whispers against her or observed any thing particular, though he was up and down stairs thirty times in a day. The prisoner had not lodged in the house many weeks. They both seemed very miserable. Reverting to his conversation with the prisoner, he said, the prisoner told him she had once left him, and that he was not the father of either of the three children. The eldest was the issue of an adulterous in tercourse with a young man whom he engaged to teach his trade to ; another was by one of his employers ; and another by a surgeon, at whose house she would go chasing, instead of stopping at home and making gloves as he desired. He was eating bread and cheese while lie stated this, in a very agitated manner, and he added, " Sooner than live this life, I will give her this," motion ing with a knife he was using. Witness, who had been an unwilling listener, and was thinking more about his work than attending to what he was hearing, exclaimed, as soon as this rash expression was uttered, " In the name of God have snore value for your soul than to do such a thing. If I thought so of my wife, I would leave her and make her an allowance suitable to my means; and if I could net get rid of her so, I would go as far as a ship could carry me." Sir Prrea—You gave hint very good advice. Witness continued—He advised them to part, the hus band allowing 10s. a-week, as he said he could afford that, but he said he would much rather give her 255. a-week to stay at home and take care of the place. He did not like to part. Sir P. Lallans—Did you observe any fit of fondness between them ? Witness said he had; their quarrels were not like those of other pereone. There was a gust of high words one mo ment, and the next the husband would be calling her his dear Anna. He seemed to like to be always close to her. Continuing his statement, the witness said, that as he was going to bed about eleven o'clock that night, he heard Mrs. , Abbot give a shriek, and then cry " Murder." He un locked his room door, and ran across to the prisoner's, 1 . against which he knocked till it flew open. The room wax in darkness, and hearing by the voice that the woman was approaching, he retreated to his own room-door, and when she had half crossed the passage with her husband three or four steps behind her, witness, in the terror and confusion of the moment, shut himself in, and the woman ran down I stairs. Itninediately after he went into the prisoner's room with a candle, and fimnd him standing with only his shirt and stockings On. tie asked him what he had been about. Prisoner said he had been asleep. He seemed perfectly cool and unruffl e d, and was going to get into his bed, as if nothing had happened. Witness told him it was of no use to do that : he would have to go to tles watch-house. " Do you think so ?" be . said, as if surprised : " then I bad better dress myself, I suppose." Witness answered, " Certainly;" and the watchman arrived almost directly after. Sir Peres asked whether witness was intimate with the prisoner ? Witness answered, " Not at all Co.' , They had occasionally met on the stairs; but the prisoner was remark ably shy, always hung down his head, and avoided notice. Edward Gilbert, a lad employed to carry out beer front the Three Tuns (adjoining the house where the prisoner lodged), said, the servant-girl going away six or seven days before the shocking affair took place, Mrs. Abbott came in to All her place till another servant waa hired and a young man, perhaps 30 years of age, late a waiter at the Cock in Fleet-street, was officiating for the regular waiter at the Tune, who was ill. On Monday night he and the waiter and the young woman were sitting together in the kitchen, when the prisoner came to the window and tapped. Mrs. Abbott exclaimed, " When I go home I shall catch it finely," and scent out to her husband. They had some words, and then she returned. Next morning she showed witness some bruises, and said, " I told you how it would be for sitting with you two." She was crying at times in the evening, but he thought she went home reconciled with her husband, to put the children to bed about ten o'clock. About an hour after she value running into the house bleed ing. [The rest of the witness's statement agreed with what we have before stated.] The prisoner did not utter a syllable during the whole time, and there being no further evidence, the Alderman remanded him fur further examination on the 27th inst. BOW -STREET —Richard Ryan :aid John James, two notorious housebreakers, were yesterday charged before Mr. Mrxsuu Lt., with the following daring burglary : Edward Poole, of No. 2, Boswell-court, is private watch man to Alessi's. Findlater and Pew, coal merchants, of Salisbury-wharf, Strand. At four o'clock on the morning of Thursday, he was going his rounds, when he perceived an iron gateway, which led to the rear of some houses in Cecil-street, open ; the lock of the gate, having been forced off, was lying on the ground. The gate led to the premises of Mr. Clint, and four other inhabitants of Cecil-street. Witness, on looking round, saw a writing desk, a tea-caddy, a cash box, and other articles strewed on the ground. lie took charge of the property, and believing that a robbery had been attempted, he called for the assistance of the other watchmen, and proceeded to the back premises of Mr. Clint. Hearing a noise in the water-closet, witmess pro cetded there, and discovered the two prisoners in a crouching position. Witness cried " Maio ! what are you doing here ?" The prisoners replie,l, that they had found the gate open, and merely came in to have a sleep. Witness found in the water-closet a phosphorus box, house-break ing implements, &c. Henry Butcher, a watchman, helped to secure the two prisoners in the water-closet ; searched them, and found upon the prisoner Ryan a window-curtain which was con cealed in his hat. Mr. Edward Clint, lived at No. 7, Cecil-street, Strand, and was an engraver. The last witness produced a window curtain, taken from the prisoner Ryan, which witness identified as his property. This was the substance of the evidence against the prisoners and the Magistrate was about to commit them, «•hen Bond, stn. said, that he had reason to believe the prisoners were concerned in another robbery which took place on the mourning of Tuesday last, when the house, No. 9, New Boswell-court, had been entered, and plundered of money and other property , . , Two blue coats had been stolen from the house in question ; and the coat which the prisoner James had on appeared very like one of them. The prisoner was directed by the Magistrate to take off the coat, which was immediately identified by Mr. Ross, whose house in Boswell•court had been entered on the morning in questham. A waistcoat which the prisoner had on was identified its a similar manner.—The prisoners were remanded. NIGHT Row.—A man of fashionable exterior, with a huge pair of mustachios adorning his upper lip, was brought from St. Clement Daum' watch-house, charged before Mr. MINSHULL with creating a riot in Drury-lane, and with rapping violently at the shutters of the inhabitants, and disturbing their slumbers. Mr. Mtssra:LL—Who and what are you, Sir?—De fendant : I am an officer in his Majesty's service. Mr. MixstruLL—Then, Sir, I feel it to he my duty to order you to find bail to keep the King's peace in future, to teach you and your companions not to disturb the repose of our peaceable citizens again. A LA ag-A dashing fellow, a complete blood, as far as exterior went, who gave tine name of Attputtus Phair, was charged with " flooring" a watchman near TeMple bar. The watchman (O'Brien) said that the attack was unprovoked, axid he was knocked down as clean as possible in the kennel. Prisoner—Your Worship, it was only a lark ! Watchman—l don't know what you call a lark ; but after you had knocked me into the mud, yon crowed like a cock. (Laughter.) Sir 11. Bittxra—l know not how the foolish term " lark" originated. I think (looking at the defendant) that scarecrow would have been a more appropriate name for an amusement carried an by jackdaws, !wimples, and boobies. (Excessive laughter.) Mr. Phair did not appear to relish the fowl comparisons of the worthy Magistrate, and still lets the order of his being caged, till he found bail for his " lark." MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—THE SHAM MONEY.. LENDF.RS.—Two gentlemen, residing in the sew-road, applied to Mr. CONANT for his assistance, to enable them to apprehend an individual connected with a gang of sham money-lenders, who were daily committing the grossest frauds on the public, by representing themselves to he able to advance any sum of money, to the amount of 100,000/ , on valid security. About two months ago, one of the ap plicants advertised for the loan of SOW., at 5 per cent., and the advertisement was answered by a person signing himself W. Mullins, No. 30, Dartmouth-street, West minster,'' who stated his ability to raise the required sum. Mullins, who represented himself as a professional man, wait e d upon the a pplicant at his house in the New-road, in the company of a man whom he termed a surveyor, who inspected the premises, and pronounced the security to be perfectly unexceptionable. Mullins intimated on that occasion, that a gentleman named Fox, the guardians of some minors, possessing a large property, was the bona fide party who was to advance the 300/., which would he forthcoming in the course of a fortnight at furthest. Mr. Mullins was urged to disclose the place of Mr. Fox's resi dence, but to this he appeared extremely averse, and it was with some difficulty that the parties elicited front lies that Mr. Fox resided in the neighbourhood of Ken sington. Mr. Mullins demanded a guinea for the sur veyor, which was accordingly paid ; and Mr. Mullins also received a six and eight-penny fee for his advice as a soli citor. Three or four days after this transaction, the com plainant received another letter from Mr. Mullins, request ing the suns of 51., which was indispensible, to pay the stamp duty, and enable him to prepare the deeds. The complainant then called at Mr. Mullins's office, in Dart mouth-street, and paid !tins 21. 10s., and he expressed himself satisfied with that sum, on the understandang that he should receive the remainder in a few days. At length, finding that Mr. Mullins had not acted up to his profes sions, the parties called upon hits, and insisted on seeing the drafts of the deeds, but he declined to produce the writings, and nothing more was heard of him until the complainant read an account in the newspapers, on Sa turday week, of some proceedings at Hatton-garden Office, where a man named Match was charged with obtaining money in a similar manner. Mr. CONANT was afraid he could not assist the appli cants, as they were not in a condition to negative Mullins's assertion as to his ability to advance the money. In consequence of the immense number of persons who daily assemble in Regent-street, to catch a glimpse of a young lady, Monsieur Verrey (not Very, the celebrated restaurateur of the Palace Royale) has been compelled, for the last few days, to apply at this office. In consequence the Magistrate directed three officers to he stationed before the shop in the evening, who, upon taking their post, found all their exertions of no avail. Hundreds of persons as to afford access s ts t a i t u n t lal t e p d eaarroluienrdtthlasensLiocpu,saundna.Arly.,Vheirorerydewrss compelled to to the adjoining houses. A young dandy, whose n one we omit giving publicity to, from consideration for his fatnily, was brought to the office, charged with being the most obstinate of the group of admirers who obstruct the highway in front of M. Verrev's shop, and refusing to pass on when desired so to do. 'The defendant, it appeared, was nearly drunk, and said he would (lie rather than net have a sight. Ilis curiosity was excited by songs( singing in every street, in praise of this lady, and he recited the billowing shuns, as his inducement to resist the orders of the officers : To see her sparkling eyes so bright, And hair in ringlets flowing; You'd scarcely know whirls way to turn, Or what you was a doing. Her smiles are sweet and so complete, Good humour in her look ; The Gentry say, my gracious, what A handsome pastry-cook ! This beauty now of Regent-street, Beats all the female race ; You never seed, in all your life, Such a handsome looking face; Tho' she's seldom in the shop, It's true, but should you get a look, You'll ne'er forget the time you saw The handsome pastry cook ! After the repetition of these verses, the Magistrate di rected that the young gentleman's friends should he sent for, ins order that they might be acquainted with the na tive of the young gentleman's faults. UNION-HALL. —Yesterday one of the beadles of Peek hatn brought a young man, ,dressed in military clothes, to this office, who had surrendered himself as a deserter from a regi:nent doing duty in that pestilential region Sierra Leone. The young man's appearance indicated the un healthiness of the country fiont whence he had recently arrived. Mr. HONE—Do you acknowledge yourself to be a de' serter ? Soldier-I . d°, Sir. Mr. HONE—What was the reason of your having de" sorted from your regiment ?—The soldier having been in' formed a new settlement was about to be established en an island to the southward of Sierra Leone, and hearing-Di ' its unhealthiness, and that it was likely ho would be ge" lected to proceed there, had taken the advantage, wit h three other Men belonging to the same regiment, o f the offer of the master of a transport to return to Europe. Mr. HONE asked the soldier how he had escaped from the garrison ? The soldier replied, that being heartily sick of Sierra Leone, at seeing all his comrades dropping into the grave , he met with the Captain of a transport, called the Diadem , on shore in the town, and he represented that most of hie crew having died on the station, he was desirous of ob.. taining hands to man his vessel home. He (the soldier) considering this a very favourable opportunity of escaping from a place likely to be his grave, if he remained them touch longer, immediately expressed a wish to be taken on board to work his passage. The Captain consented to en" gage him under all the circumstances, and premised, on the arrival of the vessel in England, to give him a nd the other three deserters the sum of 41. each for their services doting the passage. The vessel did arrive in England, and when he (the soldier) and his comrades asked the Captain for the money he had engaged to present then with, he refused to give them a shilling, and put then', ashore, declaring, if they made any foss about the m atter , he should have them apprehended as deserters, 'and gen t back to Sierra Leone to their regiment. This threat, the soldier said, having the effect the Captain wished, he (the soldier) and his comrades started from Liverpool, and walked into the interior, where they expected to obtain work ; but in this they were disappointed, and all three separated. With respect to himself, he had made the bee t of hie way to London, in the hope of getting to his friends in the county of Limerick in a short tune. He, however, had not been many days in town when - the circumstanc e of his having deserted became known, and on the r ead' ing afternoon he was pursued by two men, whom he elude d by jumping into the canal, and afterwards surrendering himself to the beadle. Mr. HONE—How came you to enlist in a regimen t doing duty in a country that you describe so unhealthy , and which I believe from the accounts I have read to be true? Soldier—l have no hesitation in telling the truth. formerly deserted from the 69th regiment at Reading, 1 "'" Iva% tried by a general court-martial, and sentenced to re - , re 300 lashes. The sentence, however, was not carri ed into effect, Owing to my having consented to enter into the Royal African Colonial Corps, and I was shortly after wards sent out with other reernits for that regiment t ° Sierra Leone. Mr. HON E-T hen what punishment do you expect no' r t having deserted previously ? Soldier—The men who pursued me, but who did 1 0 1 succeed in apprehending me, have lost the reward, an d therefore it will be a saving of 4/. to me, which Inn' would have been deducted from my pay had I not ear rendered myself. lam fearful, your Worship, although I have saved the reward, that I shall get 300 lashes, and be sent back again to Sierra Leone, or that island thick is as had, that lies to the southward of the colony. The soldier, whose name is Barrett, was sent to Horse monger-lane gaol, and Mr. Hone gave directions that the Secretary at War should be informed of the circumstaae g under which he had surrendered himself.
