SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNAIIS, FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. Hebert Peel, wafted hv erea de eision (the general election) into the functionS o f Go vernment, has formed his Administration, and remitted bimself and his colleagues to their country, for a sane tioa or a veto on his arrangements ; and though two months have not elapsed since the triumphant return of all these individuals to the House of Commons, Whie hopes are again on the alert, and Whig speculation ad dresses itself to most of the elections. There is hardly a man among the new Ministers whose constituents the Whig papers are not endeavouring to bias against his re-election. Sir Robert Peel, they tell us, for instance, is afraid of personally facing his friends at Tamworth, lest he be called on to declare his intended measures ; as if, after distinctly declining at his late election, and more lately still in the House of Commons, to commit himself by premature disclosures, there were any greater or more stringent reason for his making such communi cations to that particular audience, which, of all others, would be the least inclined to press him—the circle of his own immediate neighbours, tenants, connections, and friends. We will not detain our readers by entering into details respecting the claims of the other recently appointed Ministers to a renewal of the honour which they are seeking from their constituents. But there is one consideration which we should have thought must needs have suggested itself to the Whigs, as a conclusive damper to their still prurient hopes of hampering and baffling Sir Robert Peel's Administration. It is. that among all the Ministers in and out of the Cabinet, who va cate their seats on these appointments, a number amount ing to almost thirty persons, there is not one—no, lite rally, we believe, not one— who is threatened with even an attempt at an opposition, unless the idle address of Mr. Acland against Sir Robert Peel can be regarded as a serious demonstration. To politicians who affect to adjust themselves by the glass of public opinion, such a reflection of it would, we suppose, have been a sickening sight ; and it is probably for that reason that they have carefully shut their eyes to it. At all events, say the mortified Whigs, our return to power is not more hope less now than the reinstalment of the Tories appeared to be nine years ago, when the Reform Bill was passed into law. - Yes it is. The Tories, it is true, were at that time, like you, unpopular ; but they had not made themselves, like you, contemptible. Their policy was condemned ; but their good faith remained unques tioned. Much of what they professed, the people then disapproved ; but the people did not suspect them (as they have convicted you) of professing what they did not mean. Therefore, when, in process of time, a change had come over the popular mind, and Conservative principles re-assumed their just consideration, there was nothing to disgust the people with the ledders through whom those principles were to be made effectual. Moreover, even in the darkest period of the Tory prospects, when Conserva tive opinions were most at a discount with the multitude, there remained always a large body of the country's in telligence, property, and rank, among whom those opi nions found shelter during their season of exile and dis couragement, and who willingly formed a nucleus and a rallying point for all rational attempts at restoration. Now the Whigs have no such body to aid thetn in their attempts at a rally. They retain the friendship of a few noble families, of a little haughty clique, the rump of Mr. Fox's coalition with Lord North ; but the mass of the pf ople, or even the " fierce democracy," they are no longer permitted to wield. Those mul titudes are led, some by Radicals, some by Chartists, but none by Whigs. The whole nation is by this time ere that the modern Whigs, having no fixed opinions _do but trim between prerogative and popu ot their ' ^ Constitution and the mob, as it suits larity, between to 'o appear Conservative or Re their designs upon office -seteristic of their faction. publican. This is no new dm- e‘n . 'nosh treason, a So long ago as the trial of Harly e etoa edi tious.oue con letter was produced from a memb er of Mk,: thy ~, spiracy of that day, who, in writing t Margarot, about two brother incendiaries in t ar i ;, ia;l u di says therein, "Between us, Muir and Palm _ themselves into the hands of the O pp osition ; who, fear, will use their case - ao further than as an argument to help themselves into Administration," What Lord Grey's partisans were then, Lord Grey's par aegns are now ; and it is because the people have at length feafit44 this out, that we believe the Whig hopes of restoration to be utterly fallacious. Whatever dangers the coliatry be doomed to behold, Whiggery, at least, we fully per suade ourselves, is at an end. "As the wind goeth over it, it is gone : and the place thereof shall know it no more." POST.—The opponents of steady Conservative go vernment are doing all they can to impress the public with an idea that the new Administration in Ireland cannot succeed. These writers and speakers are in the condition attributed to the Bourbon family when they returned to France : in the experience of the last twenty years they have learned nothing and they have forgotten nothing. They describe, and they argoe, as if the con dition of Ireland, and the position and the feelings of its political parties, were just the same as they were twenty or thirty years ago. They talk as if red-hot Orenge men on the one hand, and frightened, discontented ) so bellious Romanists on the other, were the sole occupants of the political field of Ireland; as if Dr. Diguenan were still the life of the Irish Privy Council, and Mr O'Con nell the venturesome and cunning orator of the old " Catholic Board." This is extremely absurd. No part of the United Kingdom has been so much changed — no, nor anything like so much changed—within the last five-and-twenty years as Ireland has been. There have been many causes fur this, which to enumerate in a descriptive and intelligible manner would occupy more space than we can afford to the subject. The three principle causes, however, we may briefly state, namely, first, the dying away, by the mere operation of time, of the fierce resentments and bitter recollections arising out of the rebellion of 1798 , and the insurrection of 1803. Secondly, the change of policy feom that of un disguised ascendancy of one party over another te a show and profession of equal justice to all. Last (and cer tainly not least) the immensely increased intercourse with England, both commercial and social, owing to the invention of steam-boats. No one who has not had some opportunity of observing it can well imagine the extra ordinary revolution in the affairs of merchandise, manu facturing, and employment of the soil which has been oc casioned by the facility and certainty of communicating with England. Among the better classes not only English habits of living, but English modes of thinking, have made wonderful progress, and the extravagance of Irish opinions, and the impetuosity of Irish conduct, :lave proporuonably diminished. Meanwhile, it is to be observed as a very remarkable fact, which we have never seen satisfectorily accounted for, that little or no alteration seems to have been effected in the habits of the Irish Romanist pea santry. They come to England in great numbers, some of them settle here, and others return ; but whether they remain or go back, they persevere in their old ha bits of reckless life, and gross neglect of the lesser mo rals, such as cleanliness, punctuality, orderly arrange ment, and so forth. St. Giles's is St. Giles's still, with all its revolting barbarism—though nothing but a line of houses separates it from the orderly English gravity of Great Russell-street, and the scientific treasures of the British Museum. The " Tipperary boys" are as ready as ever for a row, and as content us ever with wretched habitations which a little common in dustry might make comparatively comfortable, though hundreds of them visit England every year to reap the harvest, and must see how much better their class =image affairs with us. But we speak of the classes above the peasantry—of those who give the tone to public opinion. The fierce, domineering, swearing, drinking, Orange party is gone. There are knots of in dividuals here and there who indulge among themselves in the old truculence, but the party—the public body- 7 is gone. In its place has arisen the comparatively mo derate, but still firm and well-principled, Conservatives. Hitherto " conciliation" has been very badly managed. It has not meant a system of mild, equal, generous Go vernment, looking to what is just and fair without dis tinction of party, but it has meant the ascendancy of the Romanist leaders, of the advocates of Radicalism, and the ostentatious haters of the British Constitution, over their old masters. There may have been something like retributive justice in this, and if the object had been to punish the old Orange party, the system was reason able enough. But Government ought to have something else to do than to punish the abusers of one era, by conti nuing the abuse in a contrary direction throughout another. CHRONICLE.—Whatever our own suspicions may be, we will assume that Sir Robert Peel possesses the power which the Times asserts he has, and hold him to the responsibility. And that responsibility at the pre sent crisis is truly of a most momentous description. In a few hours upwards of one thousand of the first firms in Manchester signed a requisition for the meeting to•pre vent the prorogation of Parliament at this time. Ile that runs may read the signification of this step. Man chester is the heart of the British manufacturing world, and the distress which has long been felt in every branch of our manufacturing industry has now reached the heart itself, and a general paralysis is anticipated. Men of capital perceive that, in the general prostra tion of industry, all property is insecure, The work man is wholly or partially unemployed, the Mills are standing still, all the dependent traders are sufferings, capitalist after capitalist sees his property take wings and flee from him—and society is shaken to its inmost foundations. There is literally at this 1110lnerit serious apprehension of a social convulsion in the manufieturing districts. It can only be prevented by the sudden adops Lion of measures calculated to chase from men's minds the despondency which has taken possession of them, a Robert h d t ohold outas the to them power.Bei the hopets. He should o o f a brighterld noth se future. Sir credit for power, without being made to know that he lies also responsibility. Wlrat is expected of the Prime Minis ter of a great empire like this, threatened in the very cen tre of its industry with paralysis and convulsion ? Surely something more than to distribute places and patron age among his followers. There may be difficeities in settling rival pretensions, in calming disappointed are, bition, and in putting the new executive in motion. But these difficulties are not surely to engross for ever the statesman who aspires to wield the destinies of this ,great empire. The time has already come when we are justi fied in reminding the Premier of the great object of aovernment. The people want bread. The Ministry exist, not for the sake of their emoluments and their patronage, but the public welfare—tom public safety. Surely Sir Robert Peel cannot have eo Jow an opinion of the responsibility which attaches Kee his position, as to suppose that, when he has construoteet a Cabinet, and distributed his patronage among his followers, he has done all which the country expects of him at this alarming crisis. Surely he cannot contemplate the deep insult to the distressed industrious classes of this country, which is great only by its indus try, of dismissing the Members of both Houses to the pleasures of the chace and other such amusements, at a time when millions of the people are in the utmost des titution, and have their eyes fixed on the Legislature. Through Parliament alone can remedial measures for the distress of the people be obtained ; and to postpone the the business of the country for six months, is, at a crisis like the present, a direct incitement to revolt.

The frightful rcsultS'ffe;•• HERALI).—The opposition press has suddenly- been veloped by the officio: returns of educated and nOn;edu afflicted by a loss of memory. Sir Robert P e el refused ' eatecl France have produced this change of convictions ; hi assent to the Corn proposition of the Whig Budget, returns which esntirm the melanchol o: the on the ground that an Bs. duty would be no protection to i traurdinary spread of crime following on merely agriculture, and would, in years of scarcity, be intolera- ; instruction. ble to the consumer; he objected to the Sugar proposi tion, because it ran the risk of aggravating the horrors of slavery and the slave trade, at a time when there was a prospect of an augmented supply of East and West In dian sugars, and a consequent reduction of price to the consumer. On the Timber propositien the Right Hon. Baronet refrained from expressing any opinion, because the Whig Government never performed its pledge of laying before Parliament the plan which Lord John Russell asserted would reconcile Canada to the competi tion of Baltic timber. But Sir Robert Peel's opposition to the Corn and Sugar propositions is not obnoxious to the charge urged against it by the opposition press. The Right Hon. Baronet has at no time been the advo cate of dear bread or high-priced sugar; on the con trary, lie has distinctly stated that he would limit the protection to agriculture to the extent required by the extra burdens imposed on land over those paid by any other section of the community, a principle, be it re marked; on which I 4 rd John Russell and his instructor, Mr. M.Culloch alone justify a fixed duty. What, then, are these extra burdens on land ? What is the amount of duty which would place the landed on a fiscal level with every other interest ? These are important ques tions, the solution of which is imperatively necessary be fore any scheme of Corn duties can be proetrly suggested; and yet Lord John Russell, demandine such an amount of protection to agriculture, actually proposed to legislate on the Corn-laws without having arrived at any approxi mation .of that amount. A precise knowledge of these burdens is as necessary to the formation of a new sliding scale as it is to a fixed duty ; because, it is impossible to enter into any ptoper consideration of these laws in igno rance of details so indispensable to a just settlement of this great question as are the relative amounts of taxation paid by the various divisions of the community. In opposing the sugar proposition, Sir Robert warned the planters that their only hope of ultimate salvation and• prosperity would consist in their ability to give the people of this country cheap sugar ; that the reasons for rejecting the proposed reduction of the duty on the foreign article were exceptional and temporary ; and that if neither India, Ceylon, the Mauritius, nor the West Indies could, on the expiration of the great experi ment now in progress in our sugar colonies, undersell Cuba, Brazil, and Java, they would have to bear the consequences of the competition of those countries: Sir Robert Peel stands uncommitted on the timber duties ; and though it is certain that he will make no such proposition as that of his predecessors, we fully anticipate that lie will hereafter suggest a greatly improved, and, to the revenue, a much more be neficial scale of duties than now exists ; and this anticipation is very much corroborated by what; fell on the subject from the Earl of Ripon, on moving- the amendment to the address. It now suits the fraudulent purposes of the opposition Journals to assume that Sir Robert Peel is the determined enemy to the removal of ail vexatious and unnecessary impediments to the ex tension of our commerce, .and of the protective system when carried to .an injudicious extent. It likewise accords with their objects to describe the late Ministers as devoted to the principles of free trade ; forgetful that Lord John Russell, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Baring, and indeed every Cabinet Minister of Lord Melbourne's Ad ministration, admitted the principle of protection, and declared their opposition to merely fiscal duties ; and totally regardless of the additional fact that those Jour nals devoted exclusively to the advocacy of unrestricted freedom of commerce gave to the Whig Budget their most inveterate opposition, and laughed and derided at the claims of the late Ministers to be considered free traders. G LOBE.—That the Whig party is at an end, and that the power of the Tory party is to have no end, except by utter subversion at the hands of the Chartists or Radi cals, is the moral of the song of the " leading Journal" main this morning. If this were tru e, it would. not c ise matter of much rejoicing for the wiser Tories. pesty pan rule for ever ; and if the end of the , wa y pf Ow party now in power is to be radical revoe ssion, unmitigated by the existence of any in termediate pa:r ty, then their actual triumph may sug gest subject of I.7sful, apprehension for the future. Not many days hock, a Radical Contemporary made it matter of chavigp A gainst the Whigs, that, for these ten years past, they . iia4 Stood between the people and the aristocracy, and declare 4 !Mt when the Tories should again lose power the Whigs would not again be suffered to protect the eneiahis of the people. It appears their lead ing organ is of the same opinion, The maxim "Del2nda ,Ft Carthago" has been carried nut to Whiggish extinc tion, When the Tories fall (as Ilinistera must, sooner or later), iii4y will throw us without reserve into the arms of the Chartists end Sir Robert Peel will advise her Majesty to send for y, VUonnor, or Mr. Viwent, or -sossibly to despatch Huoson IPPfs'er journey for states men „:.• a distance, while the seals of !Ace are held, ad interior, trjsingle Wellington of the Chgrtists, whom the Tor, may not have sent to join s he diet: f 4 of his party at the Afitipodes. Seriously, however, we doubt whether Whipein. f understanding by that name the principles s;_ a isoify pf gatesmp neither Tories, nor advocates of iTenulite absolutifin) is so utterly exanimate in the country- as the 1 irn4 i't 2 prP , seats. 'We doubt this the more, becaus6 we never meet with professed Conservatives who do not scour the very idea of goverrinw on old Tory principles, Well 1 . tut abandoning the old Tory principles is tantamount to adopting Whig ones ; and if this is the way the Torten speculate on putting an end to the Whigs, they act on tbe principle of that ancient usurper, who ruled by person ating a slain monarch. Parties put an end to in this way . are apt to revive again ; because what constitutes .parties is public action on common principles ; and those whose principles are acted on hold power virtually, and. must hold it finally. The more authentic morning erpn of the party in power says (adopting the words of Leord Howick), that " a cautious but decided advance towards liberal commercial principles may be expected from the present Ministry." We shall have personation, then, after assassination. So much the better. If the usur pers act as well as they depose, they may pass for awhile instead of them. If they personate "litieeal commercial principles" without really carrying them out, then the very pretence of acting on them will lead back the public mind to the consistent professors of those principles, and restore them to their legitimate station. STANDARD.—In obedience to the frequent and earnest appeals of the Liberal press to the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts, to attempt by every means in their power to obstruct and embarrass the new Cabinet, a small and comparatively insignifisnt portion of the householders of Manchester have signed a requi sition to the Mayor fot a public meeting, having for its professed object to take into consideration the distressed state of that town and neighbourhood, and the expediency of petitioning the Queen not to pro rogue the Parliament until a " full discussion" of " the corn and provision laws has been entered into," the requisitionists being of opinion that those laws " are the main cause of the prevailing distress." The principal movers in this affair are Mr. Cobden and the other Members of the Anti-corn-law League. Among the requisitionists are many respectable and well mean ing persons, actuated no doubt by the best intentions ; but by far the larger portion of them are obviously of that order of politicians who are, never chary of their services when the work of agitation is to be done. Whatever their motives may be, they seem to be but imperfectly informed of the real causes of the distress of which they complain. 'Were the Corn laws to be repealed to- morrow, and the same system of over-production to continue, the condition of the industrious classes would not be ameliorated in the slightest degree ; and when we contrast the misery which is said to exist in our manufacturing towns among the operative classes, with the overgrown fortunes realised in a few years by the least libe ral of their employers, it is not difficult to un derstand to what origin the evil is to be referred. Whatever modification of the existing Corn-laws may be contemplated by Sir Robert Peel, lie will not, we are sa tisfied, permit himself to be dictated to by people who employ the phrase "provision laws" as a watchword of faction; still less -will he- consent to allow such persons to suggest -to him in what manner he shall per forth the responsible duties which have devolved upon him. That there exists considerable distress in the manufacturing • diattiets - cannot be doubted, but that the extent of that distress has been grossly exaggerated for factious purposes is equally certain. Sir Robert Peel requites no stimulus from thb Anti-Corn-law League • and its dupes to Witco him to seek the earliest possible' opportunity of applying a rinnedy to such a state of things ; but the consequences of' long years of Whig misrule cannot be removed in a week. COURIER.—No further particulars have transpired beyond what we Isere enabled to communicate yesterday respecting the hortibie attempt at assassination in Paris of the Duke of Orleans, or one of his royal brothers who roused part of the cortege entering Paris in triumphal proessssion with him. But this atrocious event cannot but re-awaken the most painful reflections on the moral and religious state of A country where assassination is reduced to a system, and trained assassins themselves spilteS•thisingly mourned over as martyrs, when, on pro videntS*l fisilure of pistol or dagger, the miscreants are delivered swat to the tribunals, and finally condemned to expiate their saisoistery intents on the scaffold. In re viewing heretofore ces various occasions the official statistics of crime and educatic4 in France, we have had occason to show from irrectisable ttutitOrities that in pro portion as the modern theories of education without religion have been adopted as the basis of lep,islotiott for the instruction of the masses, so also has crime be come rateably on the increase. Of late, indeed, tins French government have been made pain fully seesalc of the fundamental error of their educa tional policy, 404- ;Ave labouted, not without success, to retrace their stele, ;se- more specially associating the clergy , with the AdminiArpo of a system which has eipenapy failed in all its ptetteise4 fßit,e, But the foundation being iin3oo — the tree Ving ,r,9t l ten the core—it were vain to hope b-y graftP4g on It mo~t•g wholesome shoots from a sounder stem to MOP it . P9Ar meet fruit in good season. The whole system requires to be revised and recast, with Christianity not only fur WI basis, but as - the pervading cement of every part of gee eociat structure. With this conviction no one, we iselelelee, is more deeply impressed than t h l i ta m t sele grd nor see i an s etel e goo p i la 4 lp ixi st s, ate p ti i T e n d , to M him G a ui lon z e t , for the philosophic mind of France s §pep frresisti bly impelled to the same conclusions, notwihstitiAiiig all the force of former prejudice against what were deemed and treated as monkish superstitions of the olden time. The recent writings of M. Chevalier, one of the ablest and most enlightened men of the age, and peculiarly a creation of the school of La Jeune France, with those of other equally distinguished men who might be named, tend to show how decidedly they have been converted MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The joint stock bank to which allusion was made ) esterday, is the Nottinghamshire Banking Com pany. A deputation from the Directors have been in London endeavouring to arrange matters with the agents, but have not succeeded. It is stated by the friends of the establishment that there are not only ample assets to meet all demands, but that the embarrassment has been caused by the manner in which the house on which they draw here have conducted themselves with regard to it. The high respectability of the parties in ques tion, and their uniform anxiety to afford accommodation, and the particular bills which it is stated have led to the step which they felt it necessary to talze, are against the credit of the report. Spanish bondholders are hutch pleased with the an nouncement that Mr. Thornton is to be requested to act as .banker for the intended payment of the overdue in terest, but they fear that' the intelligence is too pod to be correct. If such be the case, and the money actually arrive, some hope may be entertained that the profes sions lately made by. the Spanish Government/are in tended to be kept. If the principle of honesty be ad hered to, confider.ce may 'be restored, but not until the decrees which have so solemnly been promulgated be fulfilled. The holders Of the bonds cannot but recollect that many of them were induced to purchase upon ad vertisements, announcing the payment of the dividend, signed by the Ambassador from that country, and which proved to be vox et preterea nik.l, as they have since dis covered to their cost. _ _ _ If Mr. Thornton be inclined to undertake the office, he will do well not to state so until he have the cash in hand, and the pubic ought not to operate in any way until they have his guarantee that such is the case. If the promises hitherto made have each and all been broken, what security, but thre none), can be be relied on in the presrnt instance ? TIMES.—The democratic party are, of course, highly delighted at the firm and manly conduct of President Tyler. The question of a national bank seems now to be set at rest, the Bankists having been defeated by the Vice-President of their own choice. He has conscien tiously taken his stand on his own views of the Constitu tion, and has declared against u national bank, not on account of minor items of detail, which might be 're moved in a modified scheme, but against a bank of dis count generally. This proceeding is in conformity . with the views we have always advocated, on the conviction that an office for theople purpose of collecting; and dis bursing the public revenue, without any private interest that might clash with its duty to the public, was the only institution calculated fur.the United States, and that a national bank and its cot comitancies' would be but a national eril. As for the objection to the sub-treasury, that it would keep locked up a vast quantity of specie, it has, we believe, been ascertained that $5,000,000 would be all that would ever be required to lie in the vaults at once, a sum which could not in any way embar rass such a nation as the Union. MIDDLESEX SESS 1 ONS—YESTERDAY. Sarah Cooper, a young girl, only 11 years of age, was indicted for stealing two shillings and tenpencein copper the moneys of James Lane. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was a milkman, residing in Peter-street. Clerkenwell. The parents of the prisoner reside in the same.hou :e. From some suspicions, on the . Ist of September, a sister of Mrs. Lane was stationed behind the parlour door, and no one appeared to be in Mr. Lane's part of the premises. Shortly after she had concealed herself she saw the little girl get in by the parlour window ; she passed into the shop, opened the till, which tell down ; she took part of the money, and locked up the till' again. While she was getting out of the window again, Miss Lane came forward and caught her. When Mrs. Lane came home and opened the front door, the prisoner threw the money into a tub of water, and attempted to escape, but was given into the custody of an officer. 'The CHAIRMAN said it was a most pitiable case, and as it was proved that the parents had shown themselves unfit for the duty of taking care of their child, the State must do so. However, in order to give time fur making mi nute inquiries as to the character of the parties, he would not pass sentence until the adjournment day. A few more pettylarceny cases were disposed of, but no point of interest arose. SURREY SESSIONS-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. PIiCKLE and a Bench of Magistrates.) Wdtam Dungate was indicted for stealing, on the 14th August last, 120 pence, 120 half-pence, and certain quantities of bread and meat, the property of Richard Bashford. Richard Bashford, the prosecutor, is a grocer residing at Battersea. On the morning in question he left his • house at six o'clock, and returned shortly before seven, when he discovered that two papers of half-pence and certain quantities of bread and meat had been stolen from his cupboard during his absence. On his return home he met the prisoner at a short distance from his h ou se, walking away. J. Jordan—ls a carpenter, and was at work on the morning in question on the house next to Bashrord's, and on looking into Bashford's house, between six l and seven o'clock, he saw the prisoner there. He went foti a policeman, but Dungate was not taken into custody at L!”}L Pine, He knew the prisoner, for he had been at work with him In the same premises. They had both worked for Mr. Cwt. On his oroai-examination by Mr. Corner, the witness said that he had on that morning told the prisoner that if lie came on the premises again, Mr. Cox had given orders that he should be taken into custody ; that was lit PPliaeltience of ad uarrel which had taken place bey tween the yr i 6pper e Mr. Cox. The boy Hutchins was with him at the time: On their way to the Magistrate's at Wandsworth, had had some conversation with the boy Hun:bin:l on the subject of the charge; had told him to speak the truth, nod had denied before the Magistrates sked the boy about such conversation, but admitted it now. the day of the month, t H h e at h he had merely had a which he had forgotten. Had worked for Mr. Cox for three years, H a d previously worked for Mr. Spencer. Had left him heeall§e be had no more work for him. Had never been accused of stealing tools, Did not say when he heard the prisoner was taken into custody that he was glad to hear it, That he should like to hang him, fur he owed him him a grudge, Had never said any thing of the sort. EclwArd Hutchins, the boy, corroborated the evidence of Jordan in every particular. James Howard, a policeman, was told by Jordan on the morning in question - to take the prisoner into cus tody.- He saw the prisoner walking away, and missed him at the filming of it lane. The prisoner was walk ing, not running. Police constable M‘Mahon took the prisoner into cus tody on the 22d of August. Mr. CORNER addressed the Jury for the pri soner, who had, since this occurrence, enlisted in the Marines ; and on obtaining leave of ab sence front his commanding-otlicer at Woolwich, had come back to the neighbourhood where this had oc curred to see his father, which he would certainly not have done had he been guilty of this charge, The Learned Counsel also commented severely en the testi mony of Jordan and Hutchins,• and put it to the Jury whether they could convict on such evidence. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the July found the prisoner Not Guilty. 14 7 .11iam Edmonds a little urchin, who was scarcely higher than the bar, was convicted of stealing a cheese. On inquiry, it appeared that although at the time he committed the offence he was in company with a well known thief, yet he was not known to the police, and that his parents were hard working people, His mother, a respectable-looking woman, was in Court, and said she was not aware her son, who she hail always kept at school until lately, when •he had worked with his father, had any bad acquaintances, and that he had been in custody fourteen days before his parents were aware of where he was, during the whole of which time his father had been searching for him. The CHAInmAN sentenced him to fourteen days' im pris:omment in the House of Correction at Brixton, to be kept in solitary confinement the whole time, and to be once privately whipped, Etzabeth Horsley was indicted for stealing 1.41 yards of printed calico, the property of Eleanor Williams. The prosecutrix keeps a:drapers shop in Lambeth walk, and on the, night of Saturday, Aug. 21, between the of 11 and 12, the shopman of the prosecutrix received info:matioo lea hiln to look outside the door, n hen he observed that a piece of calico, which was ex hibited outside the shop on a chair, was gone. He saw the prisoner walking away; apprehended her, and the calico wo found in her possession. • The OicAittilivi, in summing up, commented severely on the imprudent conduct of drapers in exposing goods outside their shop s a t so l ate an . hour as lidween eleven and twelve at night. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on the ground of the temptation which had been thrown in lice way by the imprudence of the pro secutrix in permitting the goods to be oiposed in the street at so late an hour. . Two previous convictions having been proved against her, she was sentenced-to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The - Conrt rernSed . "to allow the expenses of the pro secution, on the- grielacl that the incautious exposing ce . goOds in the street -at- so late an hour was holding out too . great a temptation to persons iii the situation of the prisoner. TEETOTAL LECTURE.—John 1-I°i:icings, the Birmingham blacksmith, who lately delivered sevtral hiptures in this town on total abstinence, delivered the course in the theatre of the Mecha: ics' InstitOPP: Pi)i4P - ii.s i:pe,t. last evening. He spoke for upwards of an how and ; Peclu cated man, and, as he himself states, brought up " in the college of drunkenness, where.ncither grammar nor logic i; taught," he has evidently a st:ong and vigorous mind. His manner of treating his subject is original ; his illus trations are striking and foreib!e, and be relates them with no small degree of piquancy and effect. He was heard throughout with ,the greatest attention, and was freqgcnay !p4ch applauded.—Manchesier Guardian. The manufactory for spinning and combing wool which was built by the lite Mr. John Cockerill, at a cost of more than a million of francs, only three years ago, near St. Denis, was sold by auction in Paris nn Saturday last for only 375,500 f. No person connected with the house at Liege was present at the sale. INTELLIGENCE: MANSIOA-HOUSE. A ease of very gross immorality was exposed yester day in the Justice-room, before Sir Peter Laurie, wh,-, stated `that in the whole course of his experience he haa no , Qr been calk.d to adjudicate under cireumstanci s at a similar to emse wh'ch were candid!) , avowed by the two parties who appealed to .him for his decision. A man of wry decent appearance, named Win. Wriyia, who said that he was a yeast-maker, was placed at the bar, with a female infant in his arias, having been taken into custody by a policeman for having stolen the child from a Mrs. Harriet Elphy, the mother. The ctimplainaut. a comely well-dressed person, stated that she had been obliged to leave her husband, who had been respectable, but was now a costermonger in the perrywirkle line, on account of ill-treatment. By her husband she had had four children, three of whom were under his protection, and the fourth was under here, un til the defendant thought proper to take possession of the little girl, upon the pretence that she was his own child, which the Alderman might be assured was not the ease. Sir P. LAURIE—Does he mean that he is the father of the child, you being the mother ? Defendant—Just so, Sir. That's just the case, she is the mother and James is certainly the father. In fact, she gave me up the child herself, and as it is.rnine, I shall take good care of it. Complainant—l do assure you, Sir P. Laurie, whatever he may think, that he is not the father. My husband is the father of my four children. Sir - P. LAURIE (to the woman)—Do you mean to ad mit that this man has had any reason to suppose himself to be the father of this child ? CoMplainant—Why, he may suppose so to be sure, but I assure you, upon my honour, he's very much mistaken. It is not, nor is any one of my children his, whatever may be his opinion. Defendant—Tut, tut ; I've been a much greater fa vourite of hers than her husband has been for the last five years, and its rayther odd that she should deny that I tun the father of this baby. As far as Matters go, she and I am a great deal more man and wife than she and her husband are, and no mistake. Complainant—Not now, not now. Idon't want to have anything to do with you more ; and if my husband pro mises to treat me well, I'll go back and live happily with him. Sir PETER LAURIE—I never heard of anything more abominable. Defendant—Correct, Sir; you're quite correct. Its very bad indeed. . Sir P. LAURIE—Why,' woman, is not your husband jealous of this sort of rrticipation ? Defendant—Jeal ous ? Not at all. He knows all about it as well as I do. Sometimes I lodged with them, and sometimes they lodged with me, but wherever we were there was always a complete correspondence between her and me. Lord b'ess you, its no use to disguise it. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, you ai'e certainly the most barefaced profligates I ever beheld, both of you. Defendant—You are quite right, Sir, quite correct. I know it. Its all bad as sure as this dear baby is mine. Complainant—You shall not have it, I tell you. The child -is my husband's, I tell you; and I have often told you so. Defendant—There, now. Why, your Worship, the reason she wants the child, is because she knows if I keep it I shall never go to see her any more. All she wants is that I should go back to her ; but, as your Worship says, that would be very incorrect, and I'll do nothing of the kind. Sir P. LAURIE—Why, you and she and her husband are not a tittle better than brutes of the field. Defendant—Correct. sir: you're quite correct, I do assure you. You never spoke a more true word. Complainant—Your Worship is not aware that this mar, who wants to persuade me that the child is his, is now living with a Mrs Brown, with whom he has lived . at least thirteen or fourteen times. She's here waiting for him. Sir P. LAURIE.--Let Mrs. Brown step forward. Mrs. Brown, a steady, sober-looking woman here made her appearance. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, Mrs. Brown, do you happen to know that gentleman at the bar with the child in his rars ? Mrs. Brown (looking towards the bar)—Do you mean that gentleman, your Lordship? (pointing to the policeman.) Sir P. LAURIE—No. I mean the gentleman next to him. Defendant—Yes, yes (to Mrs. Brown). Don't you deny it. Mrs. Brown—Oh, yes, please your Worship, I know Mr. Wright. Sir P. LAURIE—Do you live with him ? Mrs. Brown (evidently shocked)—Live with him ! Oh, lie, no. I hope the good lady as did live with him aint been taking away my character. • Sir Y. LAURIE—She only says that you and he now live together as man and wife, and that you have done so 13 or 14 different times. Defendant—l did not live with her half so often, I'll be on my oath. Mrs. Brown—Your Worship, I hope you'll protect me. lam a widow that lives by hard work, and I was just taking care of the dear baby for Mr. Wright. I hope the child could not do me any harm. The policeman said that he apprehended the defendant at Mrs. Brown's lodgings, where Wright appeared to be master. Complainant—Please your Worship he lived with Mrs. Briwn, as modest as she is, when his own wife was alive. I know all about it. • Sir P. LAURIE—The defendant must give up the child to the mother, as she desires it, and a worse mother never had a child. I must say that I never beheld more dis gusting profligacy. Defendant 02,-iving the child to the mother)—Correct, Sir, you're quite correct. Its all bad. Now she thinks I'll go back to her because she has got the child, but I never will, and I'll tell her husband so. Sir P. LAURIE desired that the Justice-room should be cleared as soon as • possible of such vermin. Thus the case, which excited great disgust and laughter, ter minated. FLAGRANT DESECRATION OF THE CEREMONIES OP THE IWMISH CHURCH. (From a French Paper.) On the 28th of July, at about two o'clock, the inha bitants of Fontvannes were surprised, on passing near i the church, at hearing chants from the Liturgy sung with a most energetic and extraordinary power of lungs. They at first thought that the curate was going through a sort of rehearsal, but were speedily undeceived. raose whom they found in possession of the church were truly somewhat strange viceg,ererts. Two two were in the reading-desk, and two more walking to and fro ; they had substituted for the sicerdotal vestures the cloths of the altar, which were thrown over their shoulders in the form of a surplice. They t' o iost ad of tl;e salutations and externs! signs used in the Catholic ritual, grimaces and ridiculous distortions of countenance— formed in procession, and preceded by a broom instead of a crucifix, they, in this way, marched round the church. Mer a scandalous " confessional" scene, which the priest and the penitents were most grotesquely delineated, and in which tee symbol of con fession Was represented with mockery and derision, the new officiators sprang up, caught hold of the bell-ropes, and, pushing themulves backwards and forwards, th, y swung immediately in front of the altar ; the ctli, , rs, di s placing the confessional, carried it in triumphal pro cession round the church ; these latter, roaricg and singing, broke the chain and the wax taper of the lamp ; the 'saws, breaking to pieces I , oneath their feet the :seat of the curate, made the church the theatve of the most cnlrabie sacrilege grid desecration, But the ex ce4ses of this gang of maniacs did not stop here. ale of them, b,,ing wounded by too prolonged a swine on the bell-ropes, jumped down s utte ing hotsihlo oaths, and approaching toe statue of the Virgin, be ad dressed it in highly disgusting language, and, finally, gave it a blow on tho cheek. It will hardly be believed, but it is, neverthe!ess l the fact ? that these wretches had pgt 0T!? ErleWisera, isle excuse of into4icatlon to estenuate tivir infamous conduct ; on the contrary, they acted with calmness, reflection, and perfect sang froid, and were so well aware of the consequences of the unheatd•of offences which they were committing, that two of the gang tf : ept watch spa ware 4t lire dos of the elloycb - , in order to prevent the approach of the curious, as well as to give notice to Ilex companions in case of need. It is impossible to account for the above conduct by alleging the ignorance or stupidity of those accused, the latter being, for the most part, rot mbers or affluent fami s lies, ant) of tolerably pod edopation. One of them, named Braley, is a professional singer; another, Cleda nor Pernet, has been for sonic time c:erk to a huissier ; Ind his accomplices arc for the must part owners of pro ' perty, and sons of affluent p 'rents.

TEE CORN-LAWS AND THE IRON- TRADE, The following letter is from Sir J. J. Goes, Bart., onP of the wettest iron misters in Wales : Sir—l am sorry that I have been prever.ted, by ab sence from this place from giving as earlier answer to your letter of the 4th iast. Wit respect to the action of the present Core-hws upon the iron trade, there can be no doubt of their injurious effect. A very large por tion of the iron manufactured in this country is exported to the United States of America, and the present very distressed state of the trade is mainly caused by the diminished export to that country, not only of the raw material, but of the articles of hardware and cutlery— and this state of depression would have been very much obviated if we could have taken from the United States the corn and flour, of which they have much to spare, in return for our iron and hardware. The pro hibition of their corn in this country has also hid, and will have, the effect of causing the establishment of iron works and other manufactories in their own country, and protecting them by a hither duty on the importa tion of those articles which we hate been accustomed to supply them with, and which we refuse to exchange for the corn of which they have a superabundance. I should think that the iron trade of this district (of Gla• [Dorgan and Monmouth) employs at least 50,000 per sons, and gives subsistence to 100,000 in addition to that nurul er of operativ. s. Their wages range from 12s. per w eck (for hbourcrs) to 18s. and to 255. for colliers and miters, and for persons employed in the processes of iron making from 20s. to 30s. per we, k. Boys and women proportionitily less. I should think that the amount paid in the iron trade of the districts foils little short of from onc-and- . -half mdlion to two millions sterling per annum. lam sorry I have not been able to go more fully into the question, and sincerely hope that your muting at Manchester may he of sertice to the cause of humanity, and remain, yours, faithful'y, Rev. C. Thompson. J. JOHN GUEST. I am sorry to say, that at this moment, we have a practical example of the fallacy of the argument of high core giving high wages, and the reverse. The wages of the neighbourhood have, within the last three months, been reduced 20 per cent., whilst flour has ad vanced from 4s. 8,1. per 281bs, to 6s. 6d. Dowlais, Aug. 14,11341. MR. DAWSON. (From the Devonpurt Independent.) As soon as the list of ,Sir K. Peel's Ministry was published, the eye's of all Mr. George llobert Dawson's supporters anxiously turned to the (dice they fondly hoped he was to fill. They could hardly believe ibex senses when they found his came not there. This was rather curious they thought, but the first 'draft of a Ministry is never to be dependel or,. A week ' s exer cise of the virtue of patience was therefore necessary, and on the appearance of the atitheatic list, a second scrutiny took place ; alas ! with n 3 better success than the first. The obtuse faculties of the Tories are slowly end painfully awakened to the fact that the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson is not a Member of his brother-in-law's Ministry !. This, as tl:e organ of the party stated on Wednesday, " has very naturally excitvd some sur prise in the • borough." If the party posse:sed the smallest amount of perception, they would have fel: no surprise at tha circumstance. We stated some mouths ago our firm persuasion that should Sir R. Peel obtain power, Mr. Dawson would form no part of his Ministry. Sir George Grey st ited the same thing during the last ileotion, and the event has confirmed it. Tne Tories of D,vonpolt are vexed anti disipp&ntad ; for them Mr. Dawson might as well not exist at all as not ha in office ; the " crowning rote" is absent from the Ministerial wreath, and the official list ex hibits, as we hint above, in the sO of quotation the R;ght Gentleman is so fond of— " A gap and vacancy most sorely wept." THE EGYPTIAN KITCHEN FOtJIt THOUSAND YI4:AIIS AGO. (From the Westminsler Review.) From the various kitchen utensils and dinner ser— vices (some of which ate of elaborate. structure) in the new Egyptian-room at the British Museum, it may be readily surmised that the culinary tat among the Egyp tians under the e ghteenth Theban dynasty had arrived at a considered:), degree of perfee,ion. In Effect, by a comparisou instituted between these extant rd cs of the Egyptian kitchen in the above room and the illus trations referring to the same subject, which arc placed before us in the works of Chimpollien and Rossellni, we shall be able to arrive at very precise conclusions as to the entire organization of the culinary department at the remote epoch (1800 B C.) both as to the mode of " mounting," as the French professionally call it, an Egyptian dinner-table under the ,Pharaohs, and as to the gcneral cultivation of the g.tstronomic art. From these illustrations it appears, that, to the kitchens of the Royal and aristocretic class were attache] shambles for slaughtering and joint ng the n.eat, and poultry.yards, with cages for fattening the poultry. Butchers aro represented slaughtering oxen in the manner usual now, viz., by knocking them on tee head with an axe, and by bleeding the jugular vein. Assistants are em ployed in cutting the meat into joint,e while others I are occupied in cal vying the joists so d N'ide.l to ti e kitchen. In sense cases, nee are reeresei ted selecting ' the fattest poultry from the poultry-cages, and convey ing them to tt a same department. Butchers appear again to be employed in the kitchen for the purpose of further dissecting the me under the superintendence of the "chief balree" Iu R .sshails Citii Monuments of Eppt (pl tte 83), our) of these assistant butchers is sharpening his knife upon a steel suspended from his waist, and which is ere by similar to the steels (tem ple} ed at tie preseit time. We bel:eve there is an in. strum eat of this kind among the numerous and curious examples of cutlery preserved in the new Egyptian room. Dwarfs and rinliculousle deformc'd persons are often seen employed in the lower departments of the kitchen, as . they were in the time of Roman imperial luxury. In the same plate to which we have referred, a large stce.o is exhibited, near which a cook is putting a bullock's heart into a cauldron (sinehr in form to the bronze cauldrons with a swing handle in the Egyptian room), while another is adding a joint of ribs of beef. In an adjeieice plate cooks are trussing the geese which are brougte. t, them front the fattening cages.

Parte are at present in a very bad state. Almost thl chests are empty, and the civil officers are, for t h e most part, two or three months in arrear ; the Turst tt , cribe the great embarrassment entirely and alone to, the new system of administration introdueed,by Redlich° Pacha, not considering that the principle of separating the administrative from the executive power 10 t he provinces was in itself good and advantageous lor tb e , people, and that it. has failed only in its predict" application. In this respect three grand mistaka have been committed. In the first place, by too great a number of officers has been appointe— In each province there is n Muhasil (civil governor), wbo bas his vekil (deputy) in every town. 'Dr ° deputies again hare sub-deputies in all the smal er towns and villages, so that there is no end to V subdivision of offices . Each of these officials is sd" rounded by a horde of scent tries, bookkeepers, eashierft and kavasses (armed men), all of whom receive m onth I allowances from the Government. Secondly, the sa . levies of these officials are too high. For tnstacel, the defterdar (chief accountant) of the province o f Aleppo receives a monthly allowance of 20,000 pia , t re ' besides provisions and rations for his horses; &e. Th e Musahils have generally from 8,000 to 12,000 piast re. manthly. In the third place, these individuals ar e ,: generally speaking, a plunderin g se t, w h o sque eze 5 " they can out of the people aid betray the Government, I so that, as the Turks themselves say, there are no° some hundreds of tyrants and bloodsuckers in each vince instead of only one, which there formerly wed t, be—namely, the Pacha. That dignitary, i ns tead " drawing a salary from the Government, sent an nual I f large sums to Constantinople, reaming for bintsP h merely a per centage on the taxes. I shall give an ex" ample of the effect of all this. The supreme directi° ° of Topchana (artillery) draw the sums rt quisite for thei r use from the Rich-die of Kutahia. Not havint re. ceived any supplies from the civil governor ortbai pro: vince for six' monthß, an d fi n di ng t h emse l ves in Ve4.: want of funds, they wrote to Mustapha Pacha, tbc ter" litary governor of the Pachalic. After some delay ap answer was received from that officer, stating that 0 0 carelul examination of the books of the Muhasil his vekil, he had found that the t ixes collected for the previous six months bad not been sufficient t . pa y the salaries of the officers of the Pachalic, te • several of whom twe or three months' pay was due, not,vithstaoe" ing the murmurs of the people against the high woe''' . and their forcible collection. They are now beitura to think of the means of remedying these abases, 1) 121 ‘ those means will be very dSficult to find, since the gra evil lies in the baseness of the greater number of, Or officials. In the mean time, the administration of eoele of the provinces has again been provisionally placed ill the hands of the Paella." THE MAR KETS.-YESTER DAY CORN EXCHANGE.
