SPIRIT O 1 E PUBLIC JOMVALS, The dslate on the motion for restraining the cit.- ealation of Scotch small notes in England after the extinction of our own It. notes, was of a very satis ractry nature on Tuesday evening, not so much on asseount of the insulated measure under discussion, as for the light thrown- upon the small note question generally ; which turns out, as, we have always pre dicted, to be a matter of no great moment. The small notes have, upon the best calculation, so dz.. • crpqc.4l in number, from the measures taken prepara torily to their final recall, that there are now little . more than two millions in circulation, the rest of the circulating medium amounting to *beet sixty-five millions ; so that the question is actually decided. When the remaining two Millions shall be positively withdrawn, probably the place of a quarter tf them may be supplied by notes of five pounds, and for the rest will be substituted gold, of which there is even 1101 V such an abundance, that the small notes might, we verily believe, be withdrawn at four-and-twenty hours' notice, and no sensible effect would be pro duced; whereas by the measure nOw in operation, some of them may linger in the market till they are worn out, and most likely will do so, as it is *fly when once received by the issuer that they cannot be re-issued. There has been even an excess of caution in this affair : but the 'measure which is now proposed by Mr. Goulburn rends yet farther to pu rify the circulation of England, for the Scotch had 1/. notes long before the suspension of 'cash pay ments by the Batik of England, and such notes cir culated pretty . freely in our northern counties; but, from the passing of the Bill, such circulation is for the first time prohibited, or rendered penal. In the mean time, while matters are in this happy train, we observe the good people of Lincolnshire. " Verveemn in patria, crassoque sub arre natos," assemblin in good sober dulness, to petition Par liament "'not to withdraw the 1/. notes." There is in another cohtMn of this journal, a report of such meeting (certainly not apuhlie meeting) held in Lin coln a few days ago, for this very purpose of peti tioning Parliament " not to withdraw the I/. notes" —meaning thereby the I/. notes of the private banks —from circulation. The meeting, we are told, ori ssinated with the " farming interest." To be sure it did : the thing is all in character, it is all in strict keeping, and the motive of such petitionelst is as clear as the sun. Rents must be kept tip by all means. The landhirdS must he glutted with in come, as old Renault with blood. That high rents may lse paid s high prices must be forthcoming; the farmers must have high prices, that the landlords may have high rents ; and to secure both these nui sances against the consumer, and agninst the whole some part of the manufacturing and commercial in. terest, the farmer must have plenty of paper credit from the country bankers ;—that the same country bankers, again, may have plenty of profit from dis counts both to farmers and to dashing speculators in trade, the private bank-note system must be ex tended by every contrivance, however improvident or nefarious. Thence comes the combination of petitioners for 1/. notes,—the landlord and country banker behind the curtain.—in the fore-ground the farmer and secomkate merchant,—crying out for something to " stir up business, and give life to commerce." Alas! it is a *retched business and a desperate commerce that can or ever have by such foul means been enlivened. .It is, we repeat, a ruinous expedient for staving . off the evil day of re trenchment and integrity in our national con ...ems, as well as in those of individuals, to set up this abominable system of accommodation—of pure kite-flying—of paper promise, and rotten enter prise—and to call it a "support to credit." That credit . which is well founded, and which alone ought to exist among men, requires not the aid of 14 pro= raises to maintain it. The man who is unable to pay his workmen's wages in golden sovereigns, or in Bank of England notes, ought to be spurned from 1 the doors of Parliainent, when he asks to be kept upon his legs by a law protective of a current; :' %%Ariel' represents, not his resources, but his wetessitieg not his property, but hi* poverty,—and which accommodates and encourages the scheming adven turer in his frauds upon the rich, who are dazzled by him, and on the poor, who are compelled to trust him. It is obvious from the report of the,"accommo datien" meeting at Lincoln, that had the worthy tradesman who moved, and afterwards abandoned, the resolution demanding retrenchment from the King's Ministers, been altogether free in his own per- I son from the pervading influence of the banking con- federacy, he would have spoken more boldly, and acted with. more decision. As it was, he opened one beneficial view of the duty and interest of the parties who assembled, in pressing for a petition to retrench. With regard to the objection against a gold currency, because the public burdens were im posed in a paper one, we have to observe that the amount of taxation has been reduced since the peace in an equal ratio to the fall or price produced by a return to the metallic standard ; and that a re-opens ing of the sluices of paper would but lead to ano ther deluge of extravagance, and a further aggrava tion of debt. Mr. Peel, however, remains in the Ministry the pledged guardian and advocate of the Royal prerogative of coining, indirect enmity to the usurpation aimed at by the pirates of the 11. bank note fraud ; and to him, for the present, we shall commit this branch of the rights of King and country. —Times. Ministers ought to be consistent with themselves with regard to the Small Note circulation, Either they regard that circulation as an evil, or they do : if they regard it as an evil, then why allow ?e?tland to be afflicted with the evil ? From the intimate connection between the two parts of the Island, distress never can exist in the one without being severely felt in the other. What is the dif ference between Yorkshire and Durham, and Nor •thumberland, but that the two lastare a little farther North from London ? The difference between Scotland and Yorkshire is the same; Scotland is nrerely farther North. If Ministers do not regard the circulation of small notes as an e v il, t h en w h y put a stop to it either in England or Scotland ? ' we thought that a paper circulation must necessar il y produce the ef f ects attributed to it by Si r J ames Graham, we should say , put it down by all me ans . A standard which is perpetually varying in dimen sions must be a wretched standard. If a paper currency must necessarily continue to fall hi v a l ue , I hat is to raise the prices o f whatever is measured by it, the consequences must be a dreadful convulsion. But this, we contend, is only true when applied to 'unconvertible paper. The pap er cannot fall In value below the gold, so long as gold can be obtained for In the discussion great confusion prevailed. from the not distinguishing between o paper circu lation and the security which the public is entitled to demand from those who issue notes. If a paper currency convertible into gold have the advantage over gold, that is cheaper and more convenient for commerce ; what is required i., merely to ITT, date tlic mode of issuing, so that individuals without property may not be enabled to defraud the public. Much of the evil which England has hitherto suffered front the issue of notes by individuals, with out property, was, no doubt, caused by the monopoly of the Bank of En g la nd and the throwing the and i m p rov i ng a t t h e s a me trade in Banking o p en, time the law of Debtor and Creditor, miidat no doubt to a certain extent o p erate as a rernedy for the evil. —But still it may be doubted whether, under any circumstances, it would be advisable in England to allow of a circulation for which a ?rerim; guarantee has not been given. But then small notes form only a part of the circulation, and the evil o f abusive circulation of paper has been witnessed in England when no small notes were issued. The famous panic in 17.91, which led to the combination in Lancashire rainst paper circulation, tosk place while there were no notes in England under 5/. and in Scotland, where there were 1/. notes in ch.- ciliation, there were no failures, and no panic.-- here can be no reason; then, that security shout I not be demanded from the issuers of large notes well as from the issuers of small notes. In the edi tion of Smith's Wealth of Nations recently puL lishea, with Notes by Professor McCulloch, in the Note IX., on Money, this subject is discussed at great length. "It cannot be denied," he says, " that a paper currency is preferable to a gold one, provided the paper is in every respeCt equivalent to gold; and it therefore follows that oar object ought not to be to force the substitntion of gold in place of paper, unless it can Ite shown that there are nn Means of ratablishing the latter on a surer e iounda tien•. But so far from this being the case, I am entitled to conclude from the statements contained in the third &ction of this Note, that a cerretitY, tc*HtiPtin g wholly of paper, may be tittlo in every 'respect as secure as gdld;'and that it may be issued so as very matetety to lessen the shocks that must be given to confidence and credit by a 1 . .11 in the Exchange, tkehange, when the currency consists Who.ly of the precious metals, or partly of then and partly of paper immediately convertible into them. The suppression of small :Toles will certainly shut up one of the easiest el:annels by which the inferior order of Ceuntry Bankers get their notes into . irettlatinin; and will prevent the poorer claY:c, wno are the principal holders of small holes, from directly suffering by their failure, liut as a means of affording adequate security to the public, the measure is completely rte.: gory and ineffectual. This is a point's 10 which the expe rience of 1793 renders it impossible that there can be any dot 'or difference of opinion. There were then to notes either of the Bank of England or the Country Banks in circulation for less than 5/. ; but did that limitation prevent the 'Violent revulsion of that year, and the stoppage of more than one-third of all the e x isting Country Banks ? Nothing then can be more perfectly visionary than to stippose that the mere suppression of low notes elm gi'vti stability to the pecuniary system of thZ country. As the law now stands, worts for five pounds or upwards, may be issued without check or control deny sort, by any knave or impostor who can contrive tb cre ceive the unwary, or to get himself falls credit. If such a system be allowed to continue—. if every cobbler or aheesemonger, who chooses to style him self a banker, may usurp the Royal prerogative, and issue money at his pleasure,' it is test possible that we can es,ilpe the in.,,eleant 'recurrence of re vuhiionl similar to thbie th'at happened in 1792-3, in 1814.14, end 1825-6. We de not want a system that will alto:LI Banking establishments with large capitals to be set on foot—for there IlWays have been, and are at this mornettt - , n great number of such establish mente in England—but a system that will exclude the possibility of discredit and bankruptcy, by preventing every individual or association from issuing notes which have not been previsusly gua ranteed. " It seems, therefote, to he indispensible, either that the Country Beals thould be compelled, at has been 'priViously proposed, to give full security for their issues, of that their paper should be suppressed alftether, sad the paper of the Bank of England - eto4.ilAtted in its stead. Either plan would reader taper currency equivalent to gold ; and as the saus, 'means that are required to give Fecerit7 tne 51'. and 101. notes of the Country Platt might, supposing that these establishments trete allowed to issue paper, he with equal facility 'Matte to apply to 1/. notes, there could be no pretence rot withdrawing the latter from circulation; so. that the country would save the whole expense of the metallic money that would otherwise circulate itt their place." The measure of Mr. tloulburn is petty, and every way PA:tailed for. We confess that there were many things in Mr. Huskisson's speech which seemed to us utterly irreconcileable with any prin ciple. One-pound notes to him are, like the Wind mills to Don Quixotic, molt foiliiidahle giants.- 3forning Chronicle, A shanvetal, in our - opinion, and infamous proCeed ing was yesterday enacted in the Port of London— we mean the despicable trick of inducing the master of vessels in port to hoist their colours in honour of Mr. Huskisson'r, resignatiflu, because, having been the author of commercial treaties, and the promoter or reciprocity acts, he was no longer a servant of the CroWn,- and could not extend any more ot his bene fits to them. It is not a 'symptom 'of generosity at any time to triumph over 'a fallen enemy ; but the proceeding becomes still more ridiculous and inex cusable when it is considered, that although Mr. Fluskisson originated the obnoxious Measures, al most all the Members of the present Cabinet, and most certainly' he Who dismissed Mr. Huskisson from his late office, gave their sanction to them, and are equally responsihle with him for the consequences. The Duke of Wellington, in fact, has as much rea• son to feel aggrieved at the petty triumph which .was yesterday enacted as Mr. Huskisson ; and we shall—as we are sure the country - will generally— be pleased to learn that he treats those who promp- 1 ted the proceeding in the same unceremonious man ner as he has done the late Secretary for the Colo ' nial department. --Morning Adtcrtiser. The debate which will decide whether One Pound Notes are to form in future a branch of our currency, is expected to be resumed this evening in the Ilouse of Commons, The moment is, there fore, come for the friends to the comfort and prospe rity of the industrious classes to muster in their strength. The abolition, as a nuisance, of that which has hitherto proved the only effectual remedy in times of difficulty and distress, is, we fear, a settled point with some of his Majesty's Ministers ; and when all appeals to their good sense have failed, there re mains nothing but the agency of political or repre sentative power to rescue the country from the ►m pending danger. Neither is the contest without • hope. All the might of the Government was once ' united and exerted to perpetuate the Income Tax. The country felt its peril, its Delegates did their duty, and the permanent burthen was thrown off. Equal will be her success now, if her friends are ''equally active and devoted. It is not an idle feel ing that makes her view the projected change in her circulation with alarm. She proceeds on the broad basis of experience—she adheres to a system which works well—and she sees no reason and little safety in abandoning a positive good, to return to a state of things, the regular operation of which has been to render that necessary after immense suffer ing, which she may now retain without any suffer ing at all! Let it not be said, therefore, that the abolition of small notes is to increase her security. Small notes convertible into gold are as secure and more elastic a description of currency than the most abundant supply of the precious metals. Nay, they , are at this moment, in parts of the country, more valuable. It is a fact, and one both remarkable and important, as it bears upon the question, that in Li verpool, bankers and merchants will now ask one- ' I fourth per cent. less discount if you take gold, than if you require notes. With such a proof of the superior estimation in which a paper currency is held, and of the boundless confidence which it creates, is it too much to ask for inquiry before a system so approved, so convenient, and so beneficial, is broken up and extinguished ?—.New CRIM.

SegTCII SSTTLPIENT 13ILt: Lord_lloStl3tllitt moved the second reading of the Settlement Bill. In doing so, the Noble Lord stated, that in consequence of the great influx of Irish poor, particularly into the western parts of Scotland, ,the, sup porters of this Bill,had A necessary that it should beintrti_ oeil, and its object was that such Irish poor should not be entitled to a settlement there, until they had been seven years resident in Scotland. As the law now, stood, they were entitled to claim a settlement as well as the Scotch themselves after having res,id , l thet:e th! years. The Foneeelpence wsa th4t !haft'' amtl. people froth Ireland, Unable any longer to work, flocked into Glasgow, for in stance, that in a,short time they might gain support for their future lives. Crowds of the younger Irish population also glutted other parts of Scotlimd, underrated tlP:.Stotch labourer in perforniiog tits ihnl , :e parts, and where 14 , fult theli arrivals there had been no lack of evils, which was a great evil, and productive of considrable misery. - . Lord MELVILLE gave his strenous opposition to the provisions of the 13111, be ob j ected to the principle,, and considered that if it were evtn n, parsed it Would be impracticable to carry its provisions into operation. It was the first, he believed, that even siich a principle had been attempted to be broUght into karliathent sihee the Union; and was highly reptignant to every measure that had beets passed, with the view of giving effect to the legislative union He thought it would be a,harsh enact ment. Why should their Lordships take upon themselves to legislate that the Scotch should he entitletV,to a settlement after three yews mitletittl and tile Irish not entiled till after a seven Yeah residence. The Noble Lord moved as an amendment, that this Bill be read a seeond time this day three months. The Earl of LIMERICK cordially joined with the Noble Lord who had last spoken in opposing thi3 Bill. Tht Noble Lord who intt Muted the )6ill had Laid that poverty;and be WaS iiot quite sine Whether he bad not added pro fligacy, was introduced into Scotland by ship-loads from Leland. It was quite new to him that Scotland, for which he had the greatest respect, was not to besoiled by the foot of an Irishman. What would the Noble Lord (Roseberry) say, iJ this Bill passed, and the inhabitants of this country were to r;a4 j . , at he bilieVed they did once say,—Por Heaven's sake keep us from Scotland !—(Laughter.).— He trusted that the House would not go back to m-astires of antiquity which he had hoped were exploded from thir countrp. It had been paid that the worthy Scotch labourers were ousted of their employment by the Irish performing the work for less wages—did the Noble Lord not know, that only a short time ago the majority of Weavers in the West of Scotland, consi dartd that they ought to have more wages than their em ployers deemed necessary, and that at that time their Masters put advertisments in the Papers cclut over these hishrneth-(A laugh.)---I e trusted the House would not sanction the, • : . Lord ROSEBERRY, in explanation, said that no, man out of Ireland could be more anxious than he was to•have some measuretidopted'for the relief of its inhabitants. He meant nothing tlisrenpretild either to Ireland or its inhabitants : it was ffnown to the great influx of Irishmen into Scotland, that this Bill was originated, but the enact ments were to apply to the English as well as the Irish residing there. The Earl of HADDINGTON supported the Bill. The Earl of ROSLYN opposed the Dill in its pre& sent shape. And after some obseriations from the Earl of BETHAVEN and Lord MELVILLE, it was agreed that the Bill should pass through its present stage, and also through a Committee; that. it should be presented as amended in the • Committee, and that it should then lie over until the next Sessions. . CATHOLIC QUESTION: The Marquis of LANSDONVNE, in reply to a question from the Earl of Eldon, as to tlie course which he intended to pursue respecting the resolution in the llotne of Com mons, which was to he taken intd consideration on Mon day next, said—My Lords, I consider this a very proper Opportunity of stating, not only to the Noble Lord, but to the House generally, the course which I intend to adopt when the resolution relating to the Catholicr, and to which the concurrence of your Lordships is desired, comes on for dis cussion. Having been twice before pressed to brim , ' for ward that question under circumstances which made me deem it not prudent to accede to the wish of the pe titionersy_ I do think that a proper opportunity has now occurred, and it is therefore my firm intention on Monday next to state the reasons why I shall propose to this House the concurrent resolutions of the Commons. If your Lordships so concur, it is not my intention to follow it tip with any other proposition than that concurrence he communicated to the Lower House. MINISTERIAL CHANGES Lord KINC in presenting a petition front certain Uni tarians in favour of the Catholic Claims, expressed his sur prise that the Noble and Learned Lord opposite, in all the changes that had taken place, had not found himself in offiae, that Noble Lord had not his seat on the Woolsack, was not to be wondered at, as he hail himself declared that he never would return to his former judicial duties. But that was no reason why he should not have found himself slipped into a seat on the Ministerial Bench. Perhaps if the Noble and Learned Lord had worn a pair of epattletts for the greater part of his lite, instead of full-bottomed, he might have been deemed fit to be introduced among the Major-Gene rals. But as he bad not that advantage, and as he had been so much accustomed to order and to justice Major-Generals would probably look upon his coming into office as a piece of grave buffoonery.—(A laugh>) - Lord ELDON said, that before either the Noble Lord opposite, or persons in other places made charges against hint, they ought first to ascertain whether there was any both in their imputations. It had been said that he interfered in the recent Ministerial changes, but be really had not.

Sir RONALD FERGUSSON presented a petition from the palish of Scorley, in the county of Fife, praying the House to adopt the plan suggested by Mr. Robert Gourlay, for paying off the national debt by the sale of lands in Ca nada.—Ordered to lie on the table.

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.brought up the Report on this Bill, abd moved that it should be read it third time, Mr; HUME said he Was sorrythiS Bill had been intto &iced as a private Bill ; it gait the Arelibiillop of Canter bury the polder appointing .tb a sinechre (Ace, With large emoluments. The late Archbishop had appointed thre persons, one of whOm had lately died, and the present Bill was introduced to enable the Archbishop to grant the office in reversion to a party who was to receive none of the etholutonta. until after the, death of the other persons. It wits, an ihridio4 btAk tot him to iiippoO.i the Bill at thin stage, but hi hoped that the Hon. Gent. (the Attorney-Ge neral) would not proceed with it until some returns which he (Mi. Hume) should be produced. These returns would show whether the office to which he alluded was a sinecure or not: If, the Hon, and Learned Gentleman consented to postpone the thifd reading Of the bill for a short time, he (Mr. Hume) would not say another word on it, but if he' persisted in pressing it on, he (Mr. Hume) should move.by way of amendment, that the Bill should be teed time this day weelc, when he hoped thy returns he moved for would be laid on the table. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the returns which the Hon. Gentleman moved for, could have nothing to do with this, which was a private, Bill. There had been a eointnistion of inquiry into the office of Registrar to the Arghilitip of eanterbury, and the Commissioners re ported most favourably of thr thantier iti which the office was conducted and the business discharged, There could be no doubt but that according to all former precedent, the Archbishop had a right to. grant the office in reversion to ilemonb, anti tliie being the Case, he eoitld not see any object whatever in postponing the . third reading of the Bill, - Mr. D. W. DAitVEY was favourable to the postpone ment of the Bill, it might turn out that the office wag not a sinecure, though some thought it was, but it was much bettor to wait until the Retutns were laid on the table. Mr. WYNN expressed his surprise that the Bill should be brought in as a rrivate Bill when in fact it was a pub. lie one., and one iu'which the House was materially inte rested. He thought that the third reading should be laid before the Clouse: • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the Dill and said he did not think any delay necessary ; for he was sa tisfied that the ernoltinienta 01 the officLwere considerably Obviate Ll. Sir E. KNATCHBULL could not vote for the hill in . the absence of returns, upon the contents of which would depend his support or opposition to the Bill altogether.-- The third reading of the Bill was then postponed to Thursday next. • Mr. BROWNL)W said, he had petition to present, and he was sorry and 'shrift-Isec] that nd Minister for Ireland, was present at that hour (past five o'clock) the more er.pe= cially av he had given notice of his intention to present this petition, which related •to a subject of the greatest importance. The petition, which was from an Association entered into for the improvement of Ireland, and was signed by IStoblemen, Members of Parliament, merchants, traders, and others, after slating the distressed Blatt of the popula tion of Ireland, owing to absenteeism and the state of the laws, suggested as s emedies a repeal of the Regulations affecting the Butter Trade, and the draining and improve ment of Bog and Mountein Land in that country, to the ekttnt of between four and five millions of acres. Mr. H. GRATTAN said he thought the Non. Member for Armagh deserved the thanks of Ireland for the part taken by him upon this question. He also expressed his regret at the absence of Ministers, when a petition of so much importance was presented. He was willing to ad mit that English gentlemen and Scotch gentlemen took up this question with a view to prevent their respective countries from being overrun by Irish paupers but as it could not be expected by zhe Irish that those Gentlemen would do more than effect this object if possible it was the duty of Irish Members to press the matter upon the consideration of Ministers, with a view to permaneut relicE He was not one of those who were disposed to quarrel with absenteeism, because it was not unnatural to expect that persons of large landed property would prefer witnessing ;he ease and comfort of the people of England, rather than the discern tent and wretchedness of Ireland. He thought if the suggestions lb the petition were acted upon, it would do much towards rescuing the increa6ing population of Ireland from extreme misery and wretchedness,— As his Majesty's Government had thought it advisable to reclaim the waste lands in the colonies, he thought Ire land Was equally well entitled to a similar experiment. Mr. DAWSON, who had entered the House a few mi nutes before, said that he had heard the statements of his Hon. Friend, and he was sorry to say, that he considered both statements very much exaggerated, and the peti tioneis asked the House to do that which was utterly impracticable, namely, to pass a General Drainage and a General Inclosure Act.—(Hear.) —With respect to what had been said relative to the state of trade and com merce in Ireland, and the influx of Irish labourers into this country, he should say that from returns which he held in his hand it appeared that that trade was unnecessary, and that more Irishmen returned annually from the port of Liverpool to Ireland than came to that port from Ireland. From those returns it appeared that the exports of Ireland in 1800 amounted to 5,3412,0001. ; and in 1820 to 10,307,0001. ; and that upon an average of the lot three years the annual importation of Irishmen from Ireland to the port of Liverpool was 25,000, whilst the Numbers of Irishmen who sailed annually from that port to Ireland were 30,000, (Left Sitting.) EXECUTION OF GILIIANI. This unfortunate. culprit underwent the final sentence of the law yesterday, at Ilehester. The tectition took place at kill-past nine, for fear of accidents from the apprehension of a large concourse of people who were expected from the surrondinrr ° count' y. Every thing being prepared, Gilliam signified that he was ready, and proceeded to the yard, where his arms were pinioned. The clergyman then began to read the solemn service of the church, as the procession moved towards the drop. When standing on the drop he looked round upon the people and made a faint incli nation of his bead, when the clergyman engaged him in prayer for a few minutes, then shook him by the hand, and retired. The executioner then removed his neckcloth and placed the halter mound his neck, and, having fas tened the other end to the fatal beam, pulled the cap over his face, and shook him by the hand. He then requested to have the cap pulled up for a moment, for he thought he saw_ his brother in the crowd ; his wish was complied with, he looked round very composedly, but he could not sce him ; the cap was again drawn over his face, and in a few awful minutes of suspence, during which he seemed to pray fervently, the drop fell. A few convulsive strug gles, and all was still. The body was afterwards cat down and carried to Bath for &Winn. sHIPPiNG INTELLIGENCE. FROM LLOYD'S, JUNE 4.

MANSION-HOUSE.— r Yeiterday Thomas Wakefield the younger was put to . the bar on the charge that he had been found, between the' hours of ten and eleven on Tuesday evening, behind the attic door of his neighbour John Messiah, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, &lc. . Mr. Messiah, who is oae of "our peoples" residing in thike's.place, stated that the prisoner was the son of the publican residing near him, and some months ago he called and made proposals to him to address one of daughters, as a Matrimonial suitor, but that not entertaining a good opinion of the prisoner he declined the honour. Since then, he had been in the habit of besieging the house, and annaying both himself and his family. On the precedi ng night, he found the prisoner concealed at`the top of his haute, and on ordering him out, he was grossly insulted by him. On being eent away the prisoner returned' again between twelve and one, and disturbed the complainant and the neighbourhood by ringing his bell, and he there fore sought protection, by binding the prisoner over to keep the peace. Mr. Hobler - strongly reprobated the conduct of Wake field: He added that as a Jew, Mr. Messiah would pro bably object to marry his, daughter to a man of a different creed, although even the . suitor were the first nobleman in the land. .The prisoner observed, .that the complainant's daughter was not a Jewess, but a Christian, u her mother had also been. The complainant said he would rather see his daughter hanged than married to such a man.. Sir C. Iit;NTEK, who sat for the Lord Mayor, ordered the prisoner to be discharged, on finding bail for good be haviour. • ROW-STREET.—Yesterday a young lad named Edw. Whitaker, was charged by his master (Mr. R. Day), a working jeweller, in Frith:street, Soho, with robbing him of a piece of gold value 12s.—The prisoner was fully corn tnitted. MaTaistorcr. Yesterday an athletic, jolly-looking coal-beaver, named William Nicholls, was brought before the Magistrate, charged by his wife, a well-looking and wel.Hressed young woman, with committing sundry vio lent assnults upon her. . Me. Halts. --Very strange conduct this. When did he best you last ? Complainant—Only last night, your Worship. Mr. HitLs—What have you to say to this Nicholls ? It is very shameful in von to treat your wife so cruelly. 'Nichslls—Lord blase your heart, Sir, I don't use her cruelly—l never struck her in my life,; I love her toe ranch to hit her. Mrs. Nicholls.—l swear you atm& me last night. Nicholls.-0, dear; 0, dear ; how can you swear to such lies ;..-4Uti knows better. Mrs. Nicholls.—The fact is, your Worship, he married me from a very respectable family--very superior to his own, and that often creates jealousies en his part. Nicholls.—A better family ! Well, I'm blowed if that aynt a good un, howsomever. A better family too ! Why yon knowir that we are both a little in the black line like, for ke is a shoemaker and I am a coal-heaver, and, dash me, if I arnt seen him as dirty as myself. Mr. HALLs.—But why do you beat your wife?—it is Unmanly. Mrs: Nicholls.—Why, your Worship, he often says he likes to quarrel, because it is such pleasure to make it up again. Nicholls—That true. Lord bless your honour, it is so pleasant when we come to make matters you can't think. .... , (Loud laughter.) Mr. HALLS---But answer the charge seriously. How • came you to beat her last night ? Nicholls—Shehit me first. We 114-got a nice dish of bacon and peas for supper, and what dMs she do but all at once gives me a dab in the chops, which sent a mouthful of peas down my throat without chewing. So I just gives her a spat, and that's all about it. Mr. HALLS-••••You are a very unmanly fellow, and shall find bails Nichols was then locked up until be should find sureties to keep the peace. MA RLBOROUG STREET. --Mr. John Dun combe, of 19, Little Queen-street, Holborn, appeared to answer to an information laid against him by Atkinson, for not having his name and address printed on the first and last pages of a work called, "The Life and Amours of John WilMot, Earl of Rochester." Mr. Harmer appeared for Mr. Duncomhe, and con tended that his client was net bound to have his name on any work until it was complete, when it would appear os the first all last pages. • - Sir G.' WittAliX, -after - examining- the number of the work in question, said, it appeared to him that it formed only a portion of " Rochester's Life," and, therefore, he' considered the informer was in error when he attempted to prove that it was a distinct publication. It was clear that "Rochester's Poems" was a continuation of his Life and Amours;" and holding Mr. Harmer's argument to be tenable, he should dismiss the information. WORSHIP-STREET.—It may be recollected, that we gave a report of an investigation which appeared to involve, or at least to reqnire, some satisfactory explana tion from the parochial authorities of Clerkenwell, and the police authorities at Hutten-garden, respecting the cruelty exercised to a boy ahont nine years of age, named Thump sow, who had been underfed by a man named Charles Flewers, a carpenter, at Ifoxton, to erhoin he was in. trusted. The report also stated, that a sister to the boy, a few years older than him (and who had also been intrusted to Flowers), had, about five years ago, run away, and had not been since heard of. On that occasion the defence set rip was poverty, and a refusal of relief from the authorities of Clerkenwell, upon whom the children had a just claim. The Magistrate, after sending the boy to Shoreditch work 'roue., and holding Flowers and his wife to bail, ordered that the strictest inquiry should be made after the fate of the girl, and that the recognizance of the prisoners required the production of the girl ; for which purpose he gave a weok ; and yesterday being the appointed day, the Magi strates' parlour was crowded to suffocation. In the mean time, rumour whispered that a substitute for the girl would be provided, and this reaching the ears of Garton, the chief officer, he was determined that the identity of the girl should he satisfactorily established. For which purpose, the parties with whom the girl lived, as well as those who hs.d a knowledge of her person from the contiguity of their residences to Flowers's house, were also in attendance. The indisposition of Mr. Benett left the case yesterday in the hands of Mr. BitotIGHTON. The lost child was then produced, who appeared to be about 15 ; she stated her name to be Mary Anne Thomp eon, and after accounting as well as she could for her pa rentage, she said, that about five years ago she ran away from Mr. Flowers . * house in phoenix-alley, Long-sere. She then entered into a lengthened and a plausible detail of the c ircumstances that attended her departure, as well as the subsequent events that occurred to her through life, Bnt while she minutely stated these facts, and repeated the name and residence of her e mployers, and described the shops for which they worked, yet she could not say that she ever attended those shops herself, nor was she knotten to them ; neither did the knew where her then employers now resided. From the circumstance before stated, the Magistrate paid particular attention to the statement of the , girl, on account of the obtrusiveness of a Clerkenwell pads!' officer, named Davis, who said he knew the family of the Flowers ; and had much difficulty iu getting the girl, who was the❑ on the town ; but having felt some inte rest in the (use, he thought it his duty to look after the oi e l, who was found at Westminster. In answer to this, the girl said she had not fallen from leer lofty state until within the last fortnight, although she had been in Guy's j Hospital from the effects of a. hurt she received in lifting a weight. The former mist-testes of the girl were then brought forward as to her identity ; and here the mystery again comes into operation. The girl's bonnet was or dered to he taken off, and Miss Schimell, her first mistress, stared in her face, when she said, " Your chin resembles the child that lived with me about six years ago, but you are now out of my recollection. Pray upon what floor, or where did I live when you first came to live with me ?—You lived at Chalton-street, Fitzroy-square, on the first floor. Miss Schimell—Were there lodgers in the house? Had I a servant, and of what size, or age, or sex ?—There was a lodger overhead, and you had a servant girl about years of age. a a t eith til a e bus A i l o i ess tet S o c f h a ime ro ll b — e Aand yodureeseamorakkeetri, cushion or from my knee ?—You work from a cushion. Miss Schimell—Yonr Worship, but i n place of the first not the child who lived with me; I lived on the second floor. With r espect to . the servant girl she describes, she was no more than a girl about 12 I will not swear she is years of age, little older than herself ; and with respect to working from a cushion, I never used such a thing. Mrs. Beaumont, of Tottenham -court-road, With whom w do ith l e u v s o e rk the girl lived after leaving Miss Schimell, and after look ing attentively at her, said—Did you live with m e 0, yes. Fray what did I hire yon for, and for what put.p4e?— To take care of a child. , Can you tell me the situation of my house? Ii el I any lodgers? or where did you dine?—A. In the kit: :ien, be hind the parlonr. I dined there. There was gentle- • tik ~~ '• nun in the first floor, as a lodger,' but I don't reeolt o whether he had a wife or not. Mrs. Beaumont—Do you recollect the day you left 0 , 'and for what cause did I discharge you? Don't you loOr it was on account of the as. with which I sent you 0 0 ] message?--You gave me ss. to go for gauze, barter ribands, &c., and I brought you back a crooked ssixec . , o and two penny pieces; and I never was at the Green DIP and Still, in Oxford-street, as you charged me with. . i; Mrs. Beaumont—She has a slight resemblance of tw i child, but the time is so distant, that I cannot recollr even a feature of her countenance. Besides, there is: twist in one of her eyes, as well as the discolouration of hair, together with the facts that the child dined Wry myself, and not' in the kitchen (for I had no kitchen) ; 07 , what she states respecting gauze,. &c. &w, and bring me back a crooked sixpence, is false. I sent her for Wir sor soap, and not for gauze ; and after - she remained all the day, she returned and said she lost the 6 ' •shillings, and therefore brought me back no change. Mr. BROUGHTON said, " I will confess that this is o' of the most serious cases ever got np before a police-ogee; If the last witness speaks the truth, which I believe O A does, so well a rehearsed girl never came before me or 0 9 other magistrate ;" but the discrepancy in her statemen t ' as contrasted with the evidence of her mistresses, and I ° 6l contrasted with the flippancy with which she accounted , herself for the last six years, gave him some opportna w to .suspect that Thomas Flowers, the younger, was t father, of the male child, and that he thonght - the Ens Flowers was the father of this child. This gave rise to . lengthened debate, in Which Mr. Broughton, as d me trate, delivered his opinion, that under the circumstanc e ' of the case, and believing the statement before him*. 116 ‘ was bound not only to hold the partiee to bail, but tN" • Thomes• (the younger son of the prisoner) slituld be 111° . held to bail. The parties gave bail, and left the _office. et UNION-HALL.--Yesterday a seafaring man, tit", was brought up on a:waitMat for assaulting a 1 " .
