men with motives, or to guide their opinions, or ' to separate or group their interests—has dis appeared. There exists for the people of Ire land but a single object—the relief of their country from an injustice and a disgrace. It is asked why, until within these few years, they never co-operated with such perfect harmony and union as at present. We answer, because a full understanding of mens' political condition is the growth of time, because with time has accrued to the Irish nation a prodigious increase of wealth and intelligence,—of those acquisitions which at once aggravate the sense of grievance, and supply the means of redressing it. The greater the number of wealthy and intelligent Ca tholics in Ireland, the greater is the amount of wrong, and t h e more diffused is th e percep tion of it—the more energetic and uninterrupted the efforts to escape from it ; and thence the more consummate the organization of the Catho lic body. From the moment at which the 40s. freeholders were prevailed upon to vote inde pendently of their landlords—from the moment at which Mr. Dawson's cousin was unseated from the county of Waterford—the whole policy of the Catholics was clear, and the rapid progress of their cause irresistible. From that hour, so tar as any thing like common sense could be reckoned on as appertaining to the Catholic body, men of the least sagacity began to lay aside their fears for the peace of Ireland. The Catholics had already such a stake in the Con stitution as would infallibly secure to them all they looked for : they could obtain speedily, through the law itself, and without one drop of bloodshed, as much as they could hope for tardily, through rivers of blood, and by the overthrow of the Constitution. This is the view which for years past we have laboured to impress upon the Catholics. The argument so often addressed to the fears of the Protestants, and founded on the recognition of Catholic power, went mare upon the apprehension that the Ca tholics might mistake the real sources of their own legitimate strength, than that sound policy would, tinder the actual circumstances of the realm, suggest to them a recourse to violence. But the power is now granted by Mr. Daw son, and then assumed by him as a defence of his own political conversion. Did he never see this great truth before ? Then he was miserably wanting in discernment. Was it never thundered in his ears, in Parlia ment or out of Parliament ? Did he never hear and laugh at the very reasonings which he now repeats as unanswerable to the hissing Orange , men of Derry Did lie not read long ago the very language of this Journal which he now bor rows (we refer to his speech) almost verbatim, to describe the awful power of the Catholics? What, then, has roused or improved the torpid faculties of Mr. Dawson ? Why it is, that de legates from the Catholic Association are on their zcag to organize the 40s..freeliolders of the county of Derr!, against him. He is heart stricken at the fate of his noble cousin in the -south, and of that of the Cabinet Minister (a jealous, but unfortunately an official, friend of Catholic liberty) in the west. This is the secret of the Hon. Gentleman's new-born wisdom ; but we think it will avail him nothing. One threat, indeed, of Mr. Dawson we implore the Catholics to ponder on, and to frustrate : it is that of sud den " conflicts" arising between Protestants and Catholics in the north, where the population is o nearly balanced. We are sure that a hint upon this important subject will suffice. But there is a consideration of grave, and we may add of auspicious, magnitude, which remains to be noticed. Would Mr. Dawson have ventur ed,—no matter how uneasy as tohis own county prospects,--could he, we say, have dared to re &ant for himself, if he had not known that there svas on the part of his superiors in the -Govern ment a decided inclinatien to retrace their own policy also ? This occurrence undoubtedly places the Catholic question on a novel footing—not so much because the Member for Derry is the actor, as because he is at the same time official Secretary to the Duke of Wellington.— Times. The resignation of the Lord High Admiral still continues to be the subject of general re mark ; and, indeed, no circumstance of a do mestic nature has occurred since the last change of Ministry which has given rise to so muchre gret. Of the causes which have been assigned for it, we know enough to be able to state that they are not those which in reality produced it ;1 anti that those who contrived to force it upon his Royal Highness wer e sufficiently gunning to take rare that it should be made on a ground which would not be disgraceful to them.—The resignation, however, is virtually a part of that system which drove Mr. Huskissen, INIr. Charles Grant, and others, from the Cabinet. The well known liberal sentiments of his Royal Highness were not agreeable in more quarters than Pupa...a his popularity was still less so ; and, therefore, as the safest mode of getting rid of the annoy. mice, it was determined to pick a quarrel with his Royal Highness about a gewgaw " palace," or any thing else that might occur, lint which could Rot. be strictly termed a political graa:ind of difference. This we know to be the fact; more we do not ehpose to mention.—Morning Advertiser. A great sensation has been produced land by the speech of Mr. Dawson, at the An niversary Dinner at D erry . From his connec tion with Mr. Peel, and his situation as Under Secretary of State, thou g h he declared a that his remarks were made without reference to the opinions of any other individual, that they sprung from his own o bservation of the events of the day, and that they were totally uninfluenced by party connections or official station ;" hi s decla ration, that the time was at length come when we could no longer persevere in our present sys tem of governing Ireland, was calculated t o produce an impression that the reports as t o a determination of the Cabinet to settle Ireland are founded in truth. " 1 must know, said Mr. Dawson, " mixing as I do in the world, and holding the high situation I do, how the interests o f Great Britain are wrapped in the safety of Ir e l an d.h This, in so many words, is saying that Ministers have at length become sensible that they can no longer answer for the safety of Ireland w i t h out a c h a n ge of system. Mr. Dawson, th e most strenuous of the oppo nents of Emancipation, the only efficient Irish Member remaining on that side, has at length yielded to the force of circumstances, against which it is hopeless to contend. The case made out by Mr. Dawson is surely sufficiently power ful to warrant the conclusion at which lie has arrived. " It is true (lie says) we . have a Government to which an outward obedience is shown, which is sponsible to Parliament , and answerable to God for the manner of administering its functions; but it is equally true that an immense majority of the people look up, not to the legitimate Government, but to an irresponsible and to a self-constituted Association, for the administration of the affair; of the country. The peace of Ireland depends not upon the Govern ment of the King, but upon the dictation of the Catholic Association. (Cries of more's the shame —shame! why not put it down ?) It has defied the Government, and trampled upon the law of the land—and It is beyond contradiction, that the same power which banished a . Cabinet Minister from the representation of his county, because he was a Mi nister of the King, can maintain or disturb the peace of the country just as it suits their caprice or am bition. The same danger impends over every insti tution established by law. The Church enjoys its dignity, and the Clergy enjoy their revenues by the law_d the land; yet we know not how soon it may please the Catholic Association to issue its ana themas against die payment of tithes; and what man is hardy enough to say that the Catholic people will disobey its mandates ? It depends upon the Catholic AssOciation—no man can deny it—whether the Clergy are to receive their incomes or not. (Great uproar.) The condition of the landlords is not more consoling : already they have been robbed of their influence overthe tenantry ; already they are become but mere ciphers on their estates; nay, in many places they are worse than ciphers—they have been forced to become the tools of their domineer ing masters, the Catholic Priesthood--and it de pends upon a single breath, a single Resolution of the Catholic Association, whether the landlords are to be robbed of their rents or not." If it depends on the Catholic Association, whether the Clergy are to continue to receive their tithes, and the landlords their rents, it is surely high time for the titheholders and land holders to look about them. What is to be done ? From the moment the Catholic Ques tion appeared before the Protestant Landholders and Clergy in this shape, we were in no uneasi ness about it. You may preach long enough to men about public duty, the evils of dissension, the burdens entailed on the country by the main tenance of a disproportioned armed force, and your words will be to them like the idle wind ' • L but at the magical sownds of rents and titnes in danger, they are all attention, and comprehend, as if by intuition, every argument you can ad duce. What is to be done ? " Some Gentle men will say Rebellion ; and the sooner it comes, the sooner we shall be able to crush. (Loud cheers, which lasted for several minutes)." These cheers, at the delightful sound of Rebellion, are very well from the 'Prentice Boys of Derry ; but, Gentlemen who have families to maintain out of rents and tithes will be apt to have a very different feeling, with respect to the advantage of creating a rebellion for the sake of trying how easily it may be quelled. The country is thriv ing just now. "It has made a wonderful pro gress," said Mr. Dawson, " notwithstanding all these drawbacks; it has confessedly the elements of wealth and prosperity within itself."—" I heard the Judges declare their perfect astonish ment at the tranquillity of the country ; and we heard their congratulations in this city that they found no crime's on the Circuit but such as must exist in every mixed state of society. Is trade extinet ? Has commerce fled, and is starvation staring us in the face ? Look at the quays of Belfast and Derry--look at the numerous steam-vessels departing every day for Glasgow, Liverpool, and London, and can any man say that trade is extinct ? Look at our fairs and markets, and let us ask ourselves if industry has fled ? More animated scenes of business and activity cannot be found ; and no complaint is heard, save the never-failing one of the lowness of prices. Where are to be found the proofs of general poverty and starvation ? Food is so cheap, that it is within the reach of every indivi dual of even the least industry ; potatoes vary from fourpence to sixpence a bushel—a price which will enable a man to maintain himself for little more than a halfpenny a (lay ; and provi sions of all kinds are so abundant, that the mar kets of Glasgow, Liverpool, and Bristol, are ac tually overloaded with Irish provisions." There is something to lose here in the case of a rebellion ; and though, no doubt, the peasantry would suffer greatly, yet it is impossible for the peasantry to suffer without Landlords and Clergy suffering also. What is to be done ? Let us hear Mr. Dawson— " Can we go back to the penal laws .? God forbid that such an experiment should be made ; it is revolting to common sense—it is revolting to the dignity of man. Can we persevere in our present system ? The statement which I have made, and the firm impression made upon my mind by an anxi ous attention to the passing events, is, that we cannot remain in our present situation ; something must be done, there is but one alternative, either to crush the Catholic Association—(Cheers for several minutes)—there is but one alternative, either to crush th.e Catholic Association, or to look at the question with en intention to settle it. Let us exercise all our ingenuity—let us argue with all our subtlety —there is no other alternative ; and with such a con viction upon my mind, I feel myself called upon to exhort my countrymen—men whom I have the honour of representing—to abstain from irritating harangues, to pause, and to weigh well the dangers of the country--to dismiss all personal bit terness from the contemplation of a whole nation's welfare, and to devise some means with satisfaction to 41 parties, for restoring the predominance of estab lished' authority, and giving security to the recog nised, the legal, the constitutional institutions of so ciety. I speak here as a Member of Parliament, as a Member of the Government, and as a citizen of the world. Is it passible that I can look with apathy upon the degraded state of my Catholic country wen ?"—(Loud hisses) What man possessed of his sober senses, who has any thiN to lose from a convulsion, would think of putting his all to hazard merely to have ti i ; satisfaction of domineering over his Catho lic faow-citizens ? But the unnatural system of Government in Ireland could not have been carried on withg!it instruments. These men, the Janissaries of Ireland, of course feel their importance at stake, and they will make a des perate struggle to avoid falling to the level of the 'rest of the population. There was a Protestant dinner, as it was. called, in Dublin, on Thursday last, to Mr. Moore, .P. for Dublin, which was ve ry instructive as to the feelings of the Orangemen. The speech of ''frf Dawson, at Derry, fira Alderman 13eresford with Ali indig nation that burst through all bounds;— " I feel it absolutely necessary to give some com, fort to those I left behind me in Derry, and who are now . labouri ng un d er t h e i m pression—the false impression, I am most happy to see—that the cause of the Constitution was lost. My Lord, the im pression left upon the minds of the inhabitants of Derry by the speech of Mr. Dawson was, that the Government had deserted the Protestants of Ire land, and that it was the intention of his Majesty's -mi n i s ters to bring in a Bill e ar ly i n the next Ses sion of Parl iame nt, by which the Protestant Con, stitution of this country was to be sacrificed. It is t h a t I sho . uld, .as speedily as pos sible, convey to the loyal inhabitant s of comfort of which they stand so much i n nee d . They considered Mr. Dawson as a . person Possessedof great faults, and also. possessed , of great virtu es .' His greatest fault was h is tenacity of office, a n d hi s greatest virtue his support o f the Protestant cause. Mr. Dawson, my Lord, wa s a man who they knew had used words in his advocacy of that . cause of so offensive a nature to the Rom an Catholics, that his most zealous supporters could have wished the they: had been more mild. When, my Lord, I say y found this gentleman all at once turning round; and telling them that the Catholic Association was all-Power ful—that it had filled its coffers by the voluntary contributions (that was the phrase), the voluntary contributions of the people, and that the power of the law could not put it down—why, my Lord, when they heard such sentiments from the brother-in-law of Mr. Peel, what conclusion could they come to but that the cause was gone ? Proud am Ito say, that there was not a man in the room, at the time Mr. Dawson gave utterance to these sentiments, that was not ready to lay down his life in the defence of the Constitution.—(Cheers.) —Such was the loyal enthusiasm which animated the breasts of all his auditors, that not a man in the room could be found to listen to him with patience. My Lord, on that day upwards of ten thousand of the finest yeo manry I ever saw walked in procession. We were told before dinner that it was fit, as a nsatter of economy, that the yeomanry should be disarmed— and we were told after dinner that we must be crushed under the feet of the Catholic Association, inasmuch as Government could not resist it.— (Cheers.)—These, my Lord, were the sentiments which damped the spirits of the Protestants of Derry. But when, my Lord, I hear these distin guished individuals by whom you are now sur rounded—men possessing rank and influestee in the country, and who must have the ear of the Govern ment—when, I say, I hear such men proposing the health of Robert Peel, as the uncompromising sup porter of Protestant ascendancy, why, my Lord, I am led to the conclusion, that they would not do so unless they had good grounds for knowing him to be such; and therefore I look upon the opinions ex pressed in Derry as the isolated opinions of Robert Dawson, and I do not value them a farthing. (Cheers.) My Lord, it grieved me to see the man I valued so highly turn recreant to the cause of the Constitution ; but at the same time it was some consolation to me to find, that he had not a single constituent in the room who responded to the senti ments he uttered. lam glad to have an opportunity of echoing back the sentiments which were uttered here this night, and I trust the public press will give what I say, as it will be cheering to the Protestants of Derry to learn:that they are not wholly deserted. I wish it, however, to be understood, that it is not my sentiments that are to cheer them, but the senti ments of the Nobility and Gentry of the land. The Protestants of the North will now see that their brethren are not looking on in tame apathy. The knowledge that they have kindred spirits here who feel for their sufferings, and are ready to make com mon cause with theta in the struggle in which, I fear, we shall all be soon engaged, will renovate their exertions ; and that vigour which, in 1798, en abled them to conquer the enemies of the Constitu tion, will now, that they are surrounded by the same rebels, cheer them once more to victory.—(Cheers.) To be told, my Lord, that motives of economy have induced the Government to decide upon the dis arming of the yeomanry is more than a man's pa tience can endure. Why, my Lord, in one Session of Parliament three times the sum sufficient to de fray the expence of maintaining all tae yeomanry in Ireland was lavished upon beautifying the City of London; and Ireland is to be sacrificed for a paltry economy such as this !" _ _ _ So we are to have a rebellion, forsooth, in order to have the satisfaction of witnessing Al derman Beresford cheer on the Protestants of the north to victory ! There is an amusing naivete in the Alderman's speech. Our most gracious Sovereign has a taste for fine palaces and improvements, and the Alderman has a taste for fine yeomanry ; and he very modestly thinks our Sovereign should prefer the Irish yeomanry to his palaces—economy ! Disband the yeo manry from motives of economy ! No, pull down the palaces—lay an interdict on Mr. Nash, but keep up the yeomanry by all means. How ever, this raving will not go far against the solid interests of men. No person of sense, of course, ever believed that religion had anything to do with the matter. This will facilitate the settling of the question ; for it is always much easier to deal with worldly wisdom than with fanaticism. The firebrands of Orangeism, though kept in coun tenance by a few noodle Lords, who can't rid themselves at once of their old associations, will soon find their level. If the Catholics have wrought such wonders, in spite of the Govern ment, it is pretty obvious that when the Govern ment, the Catholics, and liberal Protestants, go together, the Orangemen will soon find it for their interest to remain quiet. The appeals to England will be made in vain,—the people of this country are not in the humour to get up a rebellion in Ireland, to have the gratification of seeing how easily it can be put down, at the expence of British taxation, by the Protestants of the North.—Morning Chronicle. The speech of Mr. George Dawson, deli vered at the anniversary meeting of the Pro testants of the town of Londonderry, and which we have given at length in another part of our Paper, is one of those extraordinary effusions which alike bewilder and astonish us. In the remarks which we thought it our duty to make a day or two ago, upon the wavering principles of public men, we looked forward to, and in some degree anticipated, this strange display of folly and inconsistency. We pass by the non sensical portion of the speech, wherein the Hon. Gentleman is pleased to illustrate the prosperity of Ireland, by informing us that potatoes are at present so cheap, that an industrious man is able to maintain himself " for little more than a halfpenny a day." We know not at what hour in the evening this communication was made by Mr. Dawson, but assuredly it is either the most satirical proof of prosperity, or the most arrant nonsense that ever fell from the lips of a public man. For, supposing that what he states were true, and that a halfpenny could purchase five, six, twelve, or even twenty, of the best potatoes of Ulster, does the Member for Derry mean to affirm that such a fact de monstrates either a happy or a desirable con dition of things ? It is the most refined example of Irish proSperity that ever came from the westward. But we would have overlooked the nonsensical part of the oration, and perhaps the orator also, but for other expressions of far greater importance, of a graver character, and of a character which cannot fail to excite both ap prehension and indignation on this side of the Channel, which fell from Mr. Dawson in the course of the evening. The words to which we allude are those in which the Honourable Se cretary says he is present at the meeting " as the set vant of the Crown." In this capacity he eulogises, in no measured terms, the brave men, who, in the cause of bigotry, cruelty, tyranny, and oppression, sought, under the banner of James 11., to exterminate the Protestant Reli gion in Ireland. He then proceeds to describe the power and influence of the Catholic Associ ation. He asserts that this gang of traitors have usurped the reins of Government, made the laws subservient to their designs, and exercise openly the prerogatives of the King and the British Parliament, He declares that the tithes of the Established Clergy, the rents of the landowner, the representation of the coun try, are in their hands. He says they have only to issue their decree, and the revenues of the Church would cease to exist, and the incomes of the landlords disappear like mists before the sun ; and lie concludes by affirming that to restrain this terrible power by force is im possible—that the British Government cannot coerce this faction—that, in short, we must either conciliate them, or lose Ireland. Good God is it come to this ? Is a " servant of the Crown" to be sent to Ireland, or be permitted to go to Ireland, to point the finger of scorn at the Protestants of England, and to dare•us to lift an arm to correct our refractory subjects ? Is a " servant of the Crown" to be allowed to tell the Protestants of Great Britain that they are so poor, so broken spirited, so weak, so worthless, that they are utterly unable to crush a noisy fac tion, consisting of men alike destitute of honour, principle, or integrity ? But it is in vain to deny it. The object of this suicidal speech must be plain to every man who will be at the trouble to reflect for a single moment. It is now clear from what quarter the fatal blow at the Constitution is to proceed. The Duke of Wellington will thus permit himself to be insulted, his coun sels derided, and the weakness of his Govern ment proclaimed to the world by a "servant of the Crown," with impunity, we never will be lieve. Mr. Dawson has over-acted his part, and the consequences will be visited upon himself and his friends. We are not the enemies of the Catholics of Ireland, when we say that their in judicious' friends will soon settle the question. Let them give the Crown some controul over their ecclesiastical appointments, equal to that which the King exercises over the clergy of the Church of Scotland, and their disabilities will from that moment be removed. But a threat of rebellion will at once put an end to all nego ciation on the subject. I'he Protestants of the two kingdoms will tolerate no conciliation, which must for ever not only cover them with disgrace, but hold them up as a nation of remorseless tyrants and bigots, who have yielded to force what they denied to justice. Thank God, it is not in the power of any cabal or any Ministry so to humble us. There are feelings in the country which will not much longer remain inert upon this question. No Ministry will stand a month which shall attempt to carry Emancipation by the means which Mr. Dawson recommends, and which he was " sent" to Derry to inculcate. The Noble Duke, in whom the country reposes almost un exampled confidence, will never render himself an auxiliary to a measure which will compromise his honour, and convey to foreign nations a de monstration of our inherent weakness. Row this speech of Mr. Dawson will be received by the Protestants of Ireland we can imagine, but not describe. Sorrow, shame, and indignation, will burn on every brow. The Catholics will be stimulated to fresh insults, to greater out rages ; party animosities will rage mere fiercely than ever, till they terminate in some general convulsion. Indeed, it is time for the Protest ants to look to their rights and estates ; for both are evidently assailed by a " servant of the Crown," whose happy constituents can subsist on a "haypenny a-day !"—New Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday John Kimber was brought up for re-examination, charged on suspicion of having been concerned in the extensive robbery committed at the shop of Mr. York Hatton, the watch and clock maker, Fish-street-hill. It may be recollected that the prisoner was detained on the evidence of Read and Kinsey, two of the Borough of ficers. They had paid a visit to the Two Brewers public house in Aldgate, where they sow the prisoner, who asked Read to take a glass of wine. In the course of some con versation which ensued, the prisoner declared that he knew all about the robbery of Mr. Hatton's ; that he (the pri soner) was concerned in it ; that he had 100/, for his share, and was ready to put Mr. Hatton in the way of re covering his property if he agreed to proper terms. The officers took the prisoner to Mr. Hatton's. Kinsey de clared that in his opinion the prisoner was drunk. The solicitor who now attended for the prisoner de clared that the latter was drunk at the time he made the declaration. Mr. Nobler observed, that the truth was sometimes told on these occasions, and that the prisoner bad nothing in his former character to render his drunken declaration (sup posing he was drunk) improbable. The prisoner's solicitor observed, that the prisoner must not be tried by his character, but by the evidence as to the fact of the robbery. He should like much to see a particle of evidence against him. When people were drunk, they often made the most extravagant declarations, and it was not uncommon to see a dozen contradictory confessions of the guilt of one offence. Mr. Hatton here declared, that when the prisoner came to him, the whole course of his language and action was that of a man completely sober. He first refused to cow municate with the witness unless the officers withdrew. When they left the room, he entered into a detail of cir- ' cumstances, which left a strong impression on his (the wit ness's) mind that the prisoner, if not a principal in the rob bery, was in some way or other an accessory. He said, he spoke to the witness as a man of honour, and he was ready to make a disclosure to him on condition that himself and his family were first put in safety. Witness replied, that the law held out certain indulgencies to those who made such disclosures as the one proposed, and that he (the wit ness), though his loss had been most severe, could not think of doing any thing which the public and the law would not sanction. " Then," said the prisoner, " I won't split." The witness begged to add, that he had been favoured by Mr. Peel with an interview, and that excellent Minister had, on a representation of his case, obtained a promise of his Majesty's free pardon to any accomplice who should come forward and make a full disclosure. The witness had himself added 1001. to the reward he had previously offered. Witness thought that it would be expedient to remand the prisoner until after the promise of the pardon had appeared in the Gazette. The prisoner's solicitor regretted the severe loss which Mr. Hatton had sustained ; but he was not on that account to detain any person in prison upwards of a fortnight upon a vague statement, made at a time when (the evidence of the officer who first received it proved) he was drunk. If his client were further detained on this charge, Mr. Hat ton would be made responsible for it in a civil court. Mr. Hatton said he was ready to meet any such respon sibility. Mr. fabler said that the prisoner had brought all of which he complained upon himself. Alderman ANfiLEY (who sat for the Lord Mayor) re manded the prisoner to the time requested by Mr. Hatton. A very respectable-looking young man, named Henry Evans, who had been in the service of Mr. Robert Moline, a cheesemonger in very extensive business in Lime-street, was charged with having embezzled loonies to the amount of upwards of 400/., whirls he had received to the account of his employer. Mr. F. W. Carter, of the firm of Clutton and Carter, conducted the prosecution, and gave evidence of tke receipt of two sums of money, one of 160/., by the prisoner, for the prosecutor, to whom he had not accounted. This took place in August last. The prisoner had absconded, and it was understood had been to America. He had since returned, and, it was discovered, had opened a shop in his own name near White Conduit-house. He declined saying any thing foe the present, and he was remanded for further examination, to allow the prosecutor to bring forward evidence on other cases. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday John Kean, who has been in custody some time on various charges of defrauding tradesmen, underwent a final examination. There were no fresh charges. Mr. Edwards, the woollen draper, in Regent-street, who had taken three valueless bills from the prisoner, and who was to make inquiry into the parties to them, did not attend, uor had the complain ants in the other cases any evidence to offer. Brand, the marshalsoan, produced a letter which he Lad received by post, purporting to be written by a police-officer at Boston, named Streeton, in consequence of the statements in the newspapers, announcing that the David Dickinson, who had accepted the bills, did formerly live in that town, but that he had left it a considerable time, and was be lieved to be residing in Laudon. From the similarity of the writing in this letter with that of the acceptance of David Dickinson on one of the bills, the marshalman sus pected they had both been penned by the same party. Mr. Alderman FABS.I3ROTUVR inquired whether any person was in attendance to prove that there was no such person as William Kean at Louth. Mr. Adams, of St. John's-square, who bad been de frauded of some silver watches, said he believed there was not, but he had written to the post-mistress of ftwton, quiring an official answer whether she was aware of here being such a person in the town, and no attention had been paid to his letter. The ALDERMAN asked whether he would undertake to produce some person at the trial to speak upon this point if tha rrisoucr should be committed. Mr. Adams answered that he would. Mr. Wooler, for the prisoner, endeavoured to show that the evidence was too weak to sustain a conviction, and that the prisoner had availed himself of the niceties of the law to place himself out of its reach. The ALDIERMAN, however, was of a different opinion, and committed the prisoner for trial at the Surrey Sessions on each of the above cases—namely, on that of Mr. Adams, where he obtained the watches on his brother's credit, for using false pretences, and on that of Mr. Moore, where he obtained on his own credit, for stealing. The prisoner was informed he would be admitted to bail if he produced four sureties in 501. each. The hearing did not terminate till between five and six o'clock. Frewin, the assistant overseer of St. Andrew's, Holborn, attended to show why relief had been refused to John H. Baker, a journeyman bookbinder, now advanced in years, that being his place of settlement. Baker stated that he had been removed from Cripplegate to St. Andrew's some time since, and was then relieved, but happening now to fall again into distress, upon applying for relief in Cripplegate, where he was residing, he was told they were not bound to relieve him, as he had already been passed, and when he applied to St. Andrew's, al though his settlement was indisputable, he was refused, because he did not sleep in the parish. At this time he had not a mouthful of bread, a farthing in his pocket, or a shoe to his feet, and yet the overseer refused to give him a loaf, or trust him one. He was therefore compelled to appeal to the Magistrate. Frewin repeated the objection to relievieg him, that he was residing in another parish. The applicant was a worthless character with whom they had been troubled be fore, and also with his son and family. The ALDERMAN said, if this was the only objection, it would not have been made by any respectable inhabitant serving the office of overseer; but it was the fashion to ap point a deputy, who was without any feeling, to keep the poor off to the utmost. The march of consequence was keeping pace with the march of intellect. It was a great evil that the overseers were above performing their own duties, and would not attend personally to the summonses of the Magistrate. He asked Baker why he could not ob i tain work—was it because he had not the tools necessary for the new mode of binding—he meant the way of squeez ing them together and baking them in an oven, as they were prepared for sales?—(A laugh.) Baker was unacquainted with the method alluded to. He was out of work, because there was a general stagna tion in the trade. He complained of Frewin's harshness of manner, and declared he would rather commit a disgraceful act than apply to him again. Frewin answered it would not be the first time he had been at the bar. " And," replied Baker, " has not one of your overseers been charged with picking a gentleman's pocket of 4,0001. ?*—l was honourably discharged." Mr. Alderman FAKEBit( TILER said it was cruel to up braid the man in this way, and if he had no other objection he must relieve him. The rich lived by the poor, and the poor must be relieved by them in their necessities. " Without distinguishing the worthy and the un worthy ?" asked Frewin. " Relieve him, as becomes a Christian and an English man," replied the Magistrate ; and the parties retired. BOW-STREET.—Aby Belasco, the ex-pugilist, who, by an easy digression, has become the bully of a house of which he is the proprietor, appeared yesterday before 1111. HALLS, to charge a pretty-looking young girl, named Jane Thomas, with abusing him. " Has she assaulted you ?" asked the Magistrate. "No, your Worship, she has not struck me," replied Belasco, but she met me in the street on Saturday evening, and abused me in a way that I cannot repeat. " Indeed !" said Mr. HALLS, " her language must have been very bad to have shocked a man of your nerves, Mr. Belasco : but is this the only charge you have against her ? Let us see what the watch-book says, ' Jane Thomas charged by Mr. Belasco with abusing him.' Upon my word, Mr. Night-Constable," observed the Magistrate, "you did very wrong to confine the girl upo❑ such a charge as this." " Will you hear me, Sir?" exclaimed the girl. " This man, this Belasco, is for ever insulting me because I will not live in his house and prostitute myself for his advan tage. When I lived with him, he treated me in such a brutal manner, that I left him. " The warrant is discharged," said the Magistrate. " But, your Worship, ani Ito have no redress for being abused?" asked Belasco. " Go along about your business, Sir," said the Magis trate. The parties having left the office, the girl returned in a short time, complaining of having been assaulted and kicked in the side by Belasco, in Bridges-street, on her way from the offiee. Belasco himself appeared at the same time with a counter-charge against the girl, whose statement, how ever, was believed in preference, and Elelase() was locked up in default of bail. MAnYLEBONE-OITICE.—On Friday night two young men, sons of a Noble Lord, were taken to St. Pan eras watch-house, and detained under the following cir cumstances Late in the evening they went to No. 10, Fitzroy square, the huuse of John Winter, Esq., an intimate ac quaintance. Mr. Winter was out, and his housekeeper, Elizabeth Paulett, did not know them. They put their horse into the stable, looked after corn to feed him with, and toek seats in the parlour with great freedom ; and this being done in the absence of her master, made the house keeper suspicious, and inquisitive. Her questions were not answered i❑ a way quite satisfactory to her, and see ing what she supposed to be a dagger in the possession of one of them, she called in two watchmen, and to place her master's property and her own life out of danger, sent the young Nobles to the watch-house, as persons refusing to give a good account of themselves. The case was heard on Saturday, in die private room of this office, by Mr. GRIFFITH and Lord MoNTroan, and it ended with their being discharged, upon paying the usual fine of Is. each. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday two men named Law rence, suspected of having been concerned in breaking into and robbing several houses in the neighbourhood of Stam ford-street, were brought up on the following charge. It appeared that on the preceding night, the watchman on duty in Bennett-street, observed the prisoners secreted be hind a cart in a stonemason's yard at the end of the street. On finding their place of concealment was discovered, they rnshed into the street, and ran away. Oue of them was secured near the spot, but his companion succeeded in snaking his escape. In the fellow's possession who was apprehended, a complete set of house-breaking implements was found, and had not the discovery been made by the watchman, there is little doubt of the intention of the parties. The other prisoner was apprehended the follow ing morning. They were both committed for three months to the /Louse of Correction. The prisoners were no sooner disposed of, than one of them was observed to change hats : the one he gave his companion was ascer tained to have belonged to a gentleman named Thornton, residing in Bennett-street, whose house was broken into about 10 days previously, and robbed of, amongst other property, the hat in question. At the expiration of their imprisonment, the Magistrate intimated that the prisoners might be again apprehended, and directed Sharp, the constable, in the meantime, to use his exertions in collecting the necessary evidence against them, to send them to take their trial for breaking into and robbing Mr. Thornton's house. Not alluding to any gentleman now in office. G. IL DAWSON, ESQ. 'M.P.—Yes, good People, who attend this evening to celebrate the principles of Air. Moony--yes, good People, we have just to remind you, that, notwithstanding the deaf ear, you were pleased to turn to our representations—notwithstanding the caution you evinced, in speaking of the name of Mr. I)AwsoN, that Gentleman, has fully realized the expectations we formed, and has more than realized the predictions which we ven tured to make in his behalf. On Tuesday he addressed our old friends, the Apprentices of Derry—in a speech of great eloquence and frankness. Our letters have only just reached us, and we cannot therefore, at this late hour, lay their entire contents before you. But rest satisfied with this, that Mr. DAwsox announced it as the intention of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government, to take the situation of Ireland into their most serious consi. aeration, with a view to the final settlement of the great Irish Question.—Dublin Evening Post. - - - - , gni TREMENDOUS GALE,-00 Friday night a coa f s e t ll, but we are happy tremendous gale of wind, with heavy show: i r i s :ly e: from the 5.F 4 ., and afterwards shifting to the S. and S.W, rode it out safely.
