SPIRIT of.the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY Pa rEas OF YESTERDAY. POST.—An opinion appears generally to prevail that I more money was spent in the late election., and more cor ruptly spent, than in any other election which has taken place fur some time. Whether this be actually true or not, we cannot tell, and have no means of ascertaining. We only state the general opinion that at the late gene ral election, more votes were obtained in exchange for money than hitherto has been usual. We trust it is scarcely necessary for us to say, that if the fact ba so, it is a deplorable and disgraceful fact, and that the Legis- ' lature could not, in our opinion, better • employ itself than in devising some method of preventing the future occurrence of such corruption as far as it may be possi ble, and providing sharp and effectual punishment for it when reasonable proof can be obtained of its com mission. But we find the defeated party of the Whig-Radicals exclaiming that their def e at is owing to this venality. " See," say they, " how your own Journals admit that scarcely ever before was such bribery committed. This explains your majority. Ho* can you boast of a majority obtained by such means ? " This is mere sophistry. The question is treated as if the taint belonged to the whole mass of the elections, whereas, in truth, it belongs only to a part, and not to that part from which the strength of the Con servative party is derived. No one pretends to say that the English county elections, or any county elections, were gained by bribery. But Lord John Russell has taken especial pains to point out to the public, that the strength of the Conservatives is derived from the Eng lish counties. Their majority in these counties, said the Noble Lord, is overwhelming. The system of buy ing votes is notoriously brought - to bear on the towns, and especially those of the smaller description. Now, we find that at the last election the chief loss was in the counties, the next was in the large towns, but in the smaller towns, where the purchase of votes chiefly pre vails, the Whig-Radical party lost the least. So strong was the public feeling against them, that everywhere, and in all descriptions of elective localities, they lost more or less, but where bribery prevails least they lost most, and where bribery prevails most they lost least. CHRONICLE.—We are told in the Times of yester day—and a greater truth, or one more applicable to ex isting circumstances, has never been affirmed in any journal—that " the linister who would govern England in times like these, must have a clear and distinct line of policy, based upon principle, and firmly settled in his own mind ; and, secondly, he must Carry this policy into action with resolute decision." On this ground we feel confident that the advocates of free trade have only sus tained a temporary defeat ; and that the Government of the country can only be prevented from reverting into their hands by the submission of the opposite party to the principles over which it has triumphed, and its adoption of measures substantially the same with those which it has gained power by denouncing. It is mainly in financial concerns that " a clear and distinct line of policy, based ,upon principle," is called for at the present emergency. The ordinary process of taxation has reached its limits. The suffer ings of the people have also nearly reached such limits as are endurable. Sir Robert Peel told the House that he had " listened with the greatest pain to those ac counts of manufacturing distress detailed by Hon. Gen tlemen opposite, whose character and opportunities for observation entitle them to the greatest respect." his predecessors had done something more than " listen with the greatest pain." They had not merely an nounced their pain, ore rotund°, to a cheering majority, to elicit " hears." They had determined to abandon all idea of levying more taxation upon this suffering po pulation. The screw was ordered to be stopped ; and then to be turned backwards. Out of their " pain" had sprung the idea of untaxing the people's bread. The corn monopoly and other great monopolies had been in vited to relinquish their private taxation upon the com munity—a taxation far more onerous than Government imposts: Based upon the principle of free trade, the great right of industry, this policy was carried out into details and applications that showed in it the prolific germ of reviving prosperity. Food cheapened, on the one hand ; employment multipli e d on the other. The " resolute decision 'to " carry this policy into action " has lost Ministers their places ; but if there be truth in the principle enunciated in the Times, they and they alone will yet " govern England." How does Sir Robert Peel regard this same pressure and dis tress ? Deny its existence he cannot ; he says it gives him pain ; and he is not the man to feel pain for nothing. But what will he do for it ? He will not allow the half famished to reckon upon their bread being untaxed. He will not allow the unemployed to look forward to the fresh markets for labour that would be opened by a re gular corn trade. What then, is his plan, policy, or principle ? Simply to let the starving starve on ; to put distress into the list of inevitable events ; and to bear his own " greatest pain " as well as he can, under such mollifications as the possession of office may afford. " I own to you," says this cornpassionator of public dis tress, this demolisher of an untaxing Ministry, this avenger of alle g ed misgovern men t, " I own to you t h at mine is but a gloomy view of the subject." Let the in dustrial classes mark well these confessions of the genius of a n e w p o li t i ca l d ynasty . . Hi s pr i nc i p l e is, that the people's distress cannot be helped. TIMES.—At the close of his speech on Saturday morning, Lord John Russell thought proper to make an allusion to the Conservative Press, which, whether it was or was not particularly directed against ourselves, we think it becomes us to notice. While acquitting the Conservative leaders in Parliament of any unfair or fac tious opposition to the late Government, he observed, that " their followers and supporters in the country, and their advocates of the Press, had resorted to misrepre sentations and calumnies which he believed were never equalled." He then added, that Sir Robert Peel had exhibited an excessive sensitiveness on the subject of " sonic foolish stories" in the Whig Journals, which, in his opinion, " were hardly worth the attention which the Right Honourable Gentleman was pleased to bestow upon them." " But," continued he, " with out alluding to any absurd stories of that kind, and turning to what I think is a much graver accusation af fecting the Ministers, with regard to their conduct on most vital points, with regard to their character and, honour, it must be known to be perfectly absurd. How ever, I think that these means, and not the conduct of Ministers, or means of that kind, are the most pro minent causes of the successes of the opposite party." It is probable that those who are in the habit of perusing with impartial attention the organs of both political parties may discover in these sentences a remirskable proof of the peculiar obliquity of moral vision which distinguishes Lord John Russell among statesmen. Even if it were granted for an instant, and for argument's sake, that we and our Conservative Contemporaries had done injustice to the Whig Ministry, we should be glad to know on which side the balance of calumny would be found—with us, or with the Journal ists who have stigmatized the opponents of the late Go vernment as execrable and hard-hearted monopolists, in capable of saying their daily prayers without hypocrisy ? We are told by persons curious about the secret history of the Gazette, that the particular portion of the late Government Press which has been most distinguished by this sort of invective against the Conservative party has received from the Whigs very eminent and substantial marks of gratitude and favour. HERALD.—The public will perceive with a degree of pleasure, we are sure, corresponding with that which actuates us in the announcement, that the new Premier is already surrounded by the most distinguished mem bers of the Conservative party. The chiefest names among its nobles and its commoners are found on the list of those friends who were first summoned to personal conferences with him after his return from the Royal presence. The usual circular of the Court Newsman confirms the report of our own correspondent as to the gene rous confidence which marked, on the part of his Sove reign, the gracious and honourable reception accorded to him at Windsor. We have concurring intelligence from va rious quarters as to the cordial communications into which the leaders of his own party have entered with him since his return to town. On the almost certain prosperity of a future political career which opens under such auspi cious and gratifying prospects, it is difficult to anticipate any drawbacks—beyond the ordinary casualties which control the duration of human life and arrest the deve lopment of human purposes—which we may not leave with confidence to be disposed of by the charac teristic discretion and sagacity of the Right Hon. Baro net. He may look around upon the band of magnates and of experienced public servants by whom he is now surrounded with those feelings of pride and confidence which reward the leader of a mighty en terprise, before, even, his entry upon the duty he has undertaken, for years of patient endurance, of un successful struggle, of calumniated purposes, but of un failing patience, and unwavering const:mey. His leader ship in opposition has been one of the most brilliant and animated passages in the history of British statesmen ; his return to power is marked by distinctions, and poli tical alliances almost unequalled in the. cordiality with which the former have been conferred, and the latter have been formed with him. The good fortune of the Right Hon. Bironet seems to be commensurate with the promise of his Premiership : and as we believe him to be every way qualified for the honours of the latter, so we are confident he will approve himself not unequal to the more incessant demands of the former on his self possession and his prudence. ADVERTISER.—" The Queen's reception of Sir R. Peel," observe the Tory press, was " most gracious," and hence they would have it believed that the duty which the adverse vote of the House of Commons had by con stitutional precedent imposed on her Majesty, was not repugnant to her royal feelings. Courtesy designates every act of royalty as " mo s t grac i ous ," an d on l y in the language of formal etiquette can these terms be applied to the reception given to Sir Robert Peel on his recent visit to 'Windsor. Her Majesty certainly evinced no anxiety to detain the Right Hon. Baronet from his public duties by indulging the personal gratification which she experienced in his society, for though the occasion was one of the most momentous that has occurred in the annals of British history, the Monarch's interview with the Minister who has been ob truded on her councils did, not endure from four o'clock till five—a little hour ! Notwithstanding this, however, her Majest7's reception of Sir Robert P ee l was " most gracious and equally so is the act of Roy- . alty when signing the warrant authorising the execution of a public criminal. Of her Majesty's feelings on the occasion an opinion may be formed from the fact, which we announce on good authority, that "during the list three days the Queen has been frequently seen in tears," which may is a similar spirit be described as "most gra • cious" evidences of her feelings on the advent of a Tory Ministry. In writing to us on this subject, a correspond ent exclaims :—" Englishmen, up to the rescue ! Your Queen is at this moment in her Palace, weeping over the loss of one Ministry, and the accession of another. It is on your account, not less than her own, she weeps ; it is you who ought to spring to her relief. The age of chivalry may be gone, but that of indifference to beauty and Royalty in tears :surely has not suc ceeded." We slvsll not damp the generous ardour of STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, AUG. •31. The continued favourable weather for harvest appears to have produced some little effect upon this market ; and there was yesterday a ra ther better demand, both for yarn and goods, than for two or three weeks past. Prices, however, remain mise rably low, and without the slightest appearance of im provement. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, ACG. 30.—Flannels still continue in good demand, and buyers have pur chased freely at former prices. In the wool market there is no change to report : the manufacturers purchase for immediate use only. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, AUG. 31.—The demand for fancy woollens and heavy plains still continues brisk, and the trade generally begins to exhibit a more animated and healthy appearance. Prices are firm. Business in the warehouses is generally pretty good. The beautiful mansion, Belmont, Stoke, the pro perty of J. Norman, Esq., banker, was sold at auction on Thursday last for 2,340 guineas, to General Wilson.— .Dublin be s. d. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1841. our correspondent, by scrutinizing motives, nor analyse the causes of her Alajesty's affliction, to ascertain the relative amount of tears shed for her country's affliction and her own, though we know the patriotism of her Majesty would not wane in the investigation. It is sufficient to know that the feelings of the Sovereign on the accession of a Tory Ministry, not only from public, but personal consideration, are in unison with those of the people. It is in such circumstances that the Sove reign's name becomes truly " a tower of strength." It is a " tower" which should be immediately fortified by a national demonstration before the enemy become strengthened in its possession. Not a moment is to be lost. An active organization of all classes of honest Re formers should be immediately set on foot. GLOBE.—It is fortunate for the Tories, that on com ing into power they find the country in a state of order and tranquillity which many former years of their own misrule had rendered exceedingly rare, until the acces sion of a Liberal Government, by making proper conces sions to public opinion, has removed all excuse for ex travagant demands by satisfying those which had justice for their foundation, and reason for their advo cate. It will not be denied that the late Minis try leaves our domestic policy in a tranquil, if not in a prosperous, state ; and while we claim for the Liberals the merit of the freedom from any thing like convulsion or agitation which the people at this moment display, we unreservedly charge upon the obstructive policy of Toryism a great share of the distress which afflicts a considerable portion of the com munity. While the Whig Government has kept the people obedient to the laws, the Conservative Opposi tion has deprived the mass of the population of the bene fit that would most probably have arisen from the mea sures proposed by the late Cabinet ; and if the country is tranquil under the disappointment it has sustained, the cause is not to be found in the overthrow of its friends, but in the expectation of receiving relief, how ever reluctantly granted, from the more powerful hand of its enemies. In plainer language, the starving mil lions of our pop u l a ti on , w h o s h ow no symptoms o vio lent excitement at the accession of the Tories, are calm and unmoved only because they hope, from the policy and fears of the Conservative body, such a revision of the Corn-laws as never would have been conceded from the same quarter on any nobler or wiser principle. The leaders of the Tory . party in Parliament, and their principal organs among the press, have declared that something must be done. The Times has threat ened to cast off Sir Robert Peel, if he does not at least moderate the burdens that press on food ; and the new Premier himself has declined the support of all who require the inviolability of the Corn-laws as the price he must pay for obtaining it. A s f ar , t h en , as t h e lan guage of himself and his principal journals can bind him, the new Premier is pledged to do something ; and it is to know what that " something" will turn out to be, that the people are waiting—in an attitude of repose, it is true, but of the most intense and anxious interest. STANDARD.--The spirit of the following passage of Sir Robert Peel's speech of Friday night is that which ought at present to animate all Conservatives :—" I have been opposed to the Hon. Gentlemen opposite for a period, with a short interval of nearly ten years. I have attempted to conduct that opposition— reconciling, at the same time, the frank ex position of my opinions, and the open and direct condemnation of their measures, with the absence of every expression of an acrimonious nature—the absence of every feeling betraying in the least degree any personal hostility. Placed in that situation in the opposition where some latitude is necessarily allowed, I have in this way endeavoured to discharge the duties imposed upon me; and it certainly is not upon this occasion, when, accord ing to the apparent feeling of the House, that opposition is likely to be attended with success—it is not, ,I say, upon this occasion, that I shall allow myself to be betrayed into a course different from that which I have hitherto pursued." They who have had to fight the Conservative battle in the ranks ' carefully as it was their duty to guard themselves from all feelings of a personal na ture, cannot claim the praise of having always ab stained from acrimonious expressions and violent hos tility—to them, it would be no praise ; for, as in actual combat, the common soldier must meet blow with blow, fierceness with fierceness—though a serene and gentle temper always becomes a leader—so in the politi cal struggle, the tone of controversy on the one side must always serve more or less as an example to the other. But, if it has unfortunately not been in our power to imitate the dignified equanimity and courteous demea nour of our great chief hitherto, there is nothing to pre vent our following his "example now that the battle has been won. A certain vigour, not to call it ferocious ness of resistance, was necessary while the strife lasted ; not as a mere retaliation ; mere retaliation is unmanly and unchristian, but in order to prevent the triumph of our principles being snatched from us. Now the same description of resistance would not be innocent, because the necessity for it exists no longer. The triumph of our principles ' generous has men be to look ensecured, foranay dnitotihseurnworthy triumph.'of good and ,MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM 724 E MORNING !AYERS OF YESTERDAY. TlMES.—Tiieprenliuni on gold at Paris is 6 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid, per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 30. and the exchange at Paris on 'London at short being 25. 40 , it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. mid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 7, it follows that there is at present no differ ence in the value of gold at the two places. The great political topic among the Texans is the ap pointment of the new President, and the excitement re specting it appears to be carried on much on the same scale as that which prevails on similar occasions in the United States. On either side the candidates are equally fortunate in receiving nicknames, and, as there are only two on the present occasion, the, political leaders have honoured them with many aliases, but they are of a cha racter not exactly fitted for extract, for, though less ex travagant than those retailed by their neighbours the Americans, they are nevertheless somewhat coarse. The two candidates are Judge Burnet and General Houston, and from the very strong claims of the former, as advo cated in the different papers, it is not at all improbable that he will be elected. A letter to the Shareholders of the British Iron Com pany by Mr. Motte, one of the "united shareholders," was published a day or two previous to the last general meeting. The object of his argument is to persuade the Company to wind up their affairs after the satisfac tion of all outstanding claims. He examines the ac counts published by the Directors at great length, and, after investigating each separate document, comes to the conclusioa that the Directors purchased, in 1825, 21 free hold estates, at a cost of more than 700,0001., being up wards of 500,0001. over value ; that they burdened th e Company with leasehold liablities for minerals more than equal to 6,5001. per annum for sixty years, and that it was reported to the shareholders from time to time that profits varying from 6,0001., to 60,000/. were being made, whereas the Directors' report exhibits a loss of 4,9121. On the contract made for the estate called Corn greaves for 600,0001., besides 36,0001. for stock, in June, 1825, Mr. Motto reminds the shareholders that it was valued at 300,000/. for its minerals alone, but never pro duced ironstone to any available quantity, and that the law suit for 12 years incurred a cost of nearly 180,000/. The total receipts of the Directors from the shareholders since 1825 he estimates at more than 4,000,000/., while the loss, as stated above, is 4,9121., which Mr. Motte, by adding interest upon capital, increases to abov e 1,000,000/. The' loss on the whole investment by the Company being ad mitted to be 945,9581., he adds 700,000/. for interest, and disallows 582,0041. for minerals, and sets down the total loss at 2,227,962/. Having premised this enormous loss, and enumerated other facts to show that the Share holders have been misled, he draws their attention to the perils of fresh litigation, remarking that millions will be at stake in the event of law proceedings between the Shareholders and the Directors. He recommends a searching inquiry into the affairs of the Company, that its actual losses and liabilities and the present state of its liabilities may be ascertained, and that the present dis jointed properties may be let or sold, so that as much as possible may be realized- before a winding-up. The Company once wound up, and those Shareholders who wish having retired, " the Company," he says, " might be reorganized, and the trade of this new body concen trated on one property, so that the expense might be re duced to a minimum, and something like a profit be rea lized. If, however, there is no cessation of hostilities bs t ween the contending parties, and no disposition towards conciliation on the part of the Directors, Mr. Motte can foresee no other result than a Chancery suit—a result which was distinctly predicted at the meeting. POST.—By the private advices lately received from Buenos Ayres it is satisfactory to perceive that the in • terests of the British creditors of the republic have been kept constantly in view by the Government of President Rosas. His Excellency Senor Moreno's despatches from London on the subject had reached the hands of the Fi nance Minister. The immediate departure of the packet, however, allowed for the moment only just tirna to make a hasty acknowledgement of them. The details of a plan for the adjustment of the English debt, suggested by M. Moreno and Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and. Co., which embraces, we believe, a proposal for liquidation by part in cash, to be realized out of the national products of the republic in the European markets, and part in Treasury Bonds, receivable at the custom-houses, had not yet been formally entered upon ; but we have good grounds for thinking that, in defiance of the still existing differences of the Argentine State with Monte Video, an honourable intention of satisfying the claims of the English bond holders, now fourteen years in abeyance, is entertained. We learn further from these private rources of in formation that the of between the republic and Monte Video was rapidly hastening to a close. Such a consum mation was accelerated by the growing discontent which prevailed in Monte Video. Lavelle, it is asserted, was completely crushed, and nothing serious was now appre hended from the Unitarian faction, with whose interests he had identified himself in the civil war. The known determination of the Governments of both France and England, each acting upon its individual policy, tended to discourage the enterprises of those who had been hoping to accomplish the revolutionary purposes they had in view. ADVERTISER.—According to a statement iu a Shrewsbury Journal, we are happy to learn that the assignees of Messrs. Price, Jones, and Edwards have now realized a sum of from 18,0001. to 20,000/, either in Exchequer Bills or in funds immediately available. This sum they have determined to divide among the creditors upon the earliest day they are permitted to do so by law, viz., on the 30th of September next, four months after the fiat of bankruptcy was issued. The sum proved against the joint estate is about 80,000/., so that the assets now in hand will be sufficient to pay ss. in the pound at that time, without the receipt of a farthing from the valuable private estates of the bankrupts. This statement will dissipate much of the gloomy apprehension entertained respecting the results of this failure. HERALD.—Private letters from Manchester announce the stoppae.e of a large calico printing concern in that town. The Bank of Manchester is said to be a creditor for 20,0001., and indeed it is stated was the occasion of the stoppage of the house, by not only refusing further facilities in the way of advances or discounts, but pe remptorily calling for the balance in excess then owing. This Bank is said to be in like manner restricting its operations, and calling in its advances in other quarters, which it is feared may lead to the break-up of other establishments who have over-extended themselves. The policy seems rather harsh, but may nevertheless be justifiable and expedient in regard to the Bank's own interest ; for it has undoubtedly been exposed to many heavy losses. CHRONICLE.—The general accuracy of tho finan cial statement made by Mr. Baring during the recent de bate is fully supported by the official accounts of the pub lic debt and expenditure recently laid before Parlia ment. Mr. Goulburn, in reply, did not dispute the re sults, but applied himself chiefly to a consideration of details, and an objection to the comparison of periods taken on the principle of average. He observed that in the " average of the five years which comprised the Duke of Wellington's Adminstration it must be borne in mind that the expenditure of the first year was very high, and of tin' last very low. The expenditure in the year 1825 was 54,895,9491." That of 1830 was 52,018,6171., which is lower, but decidedly not " very low," for in the year 1832 the expenditure was but 50,908,3281., while in 1835 it was only 48,787,6381., being 3,230,9791. below the " very low" expenditure referred to by the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mr. Goulburn also observed, that while the average expenditure during the five.years of the Duke of Wellington's Administration was con stantly decreasing, the reverse was the case during the last five years. This is true, but the Right Hon. Gen tleman korgot to notice that the decrease steadily con tinued after the Duke of Wellington quitted office, and that it was not until the state of public affairs rendered the same course of economical expenditure inconsistent with-due attention to the public interests that any in crease was incurred. Mr. Goulburn took no notice of these facts. He did not allude to the great reduction of the expenditure effected by the Whigs after the Duke of Wellington retired from office, nor the frequent and fierce attacks which the Tory party hurled against the Go vernment of Lord Melbourne for not forming the army and navy estimates on a scale of sufficient expense. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 31. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN THE MATTER OF JOHN HENRY BARLOW. The bankrupt was a stockbroker carrying on business in 'Change-alley, and this was the day appointed for his final examination. He was examined as to several items in his balance-sheet, from which it appeared that his profits for the last four years had averaged 2,000/. a-year, and he attributed his bankruptcy to losses sus tained in the United States Bank and railway shares, but more especially in the latter. He estimated his loss upon the former to be fully 5,000/., and upon shares in the "New Brunswick Land Company," at nearly 2,0001. more. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether the shares in the New Brunswick Land Company were not worth something, for he perceived that no value was assigned to them in the schedule ? The bankrupt said that, unfortunately, they had be come valueless, as the tide of emigration, which at one time had promised to set to New Brunswick and the other North American provinces, had subsequently been directed to Australasia and New Zealand. The Learned CO3IMISSIONER asked whether the bank rupt's accounts were satisfactory to the assignees ? The official assignee (Mr. Pennell) said they were per fectly so ; the debts were about 5,0001., and the assets would probably realize 1,2001. The bankrupt having been sworn to the truth of his schedule, was declared to have passed his final ex amination. IN THE MATTER or CHARLES DALY. The bankrupt was a publisher and bookseller, carrying. on very extensive business in Red Lion-square, and having left home a fiat was issued against him in order to save his valuable stock for the creditors. At the last hearing his housekeeper was examined at great length as to her knowledge of the place of his retreat, but she positively swore that all she knew was, that upon leav ing his house he said he would proceed to Manchester, and return in a few days. Some further proofs of debt were to-day admitted without any opposition. Mr. Laurence, who attended as solicitor for several creditors, said he expected there would be very nearly 20s. in the pound ; but the bankrupt's books were so loosely kept that no assistance could be obtained from them in the settlement of his affairs. The stock, which was valuable, had not yet been sold, in consequence of the great depression in the book trade, and hence an im mediate dividend could not be declared. The bankrupt not having surrendered to his fiat, the usual proclamation of outlawry was issued against him. It is supposed that he has gone to New York or New Zealand, and amongst the latest books published by him before his departure was the splendid edition of Burns' Works, edited by Mr. Cochran. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 31. This day was appointed for the hearing of bail eases, and the list on the occasion presented a most extraordi nary appearance, there being no less than 127 applica tions from debtors in actual custody, to be discharged on sureties, of which 81 were confined in the metropolitan prisons. Orders were sent on Monday to the keepers of the London gaols (the attendance of the country insol vents not being required), not to bring up more than 40 persons to-day, as it was considered that 86 cases (with the country applications) would be sufficient business for the day. _ _ _ Info - rmation was received this morning that the Learned Chief Commissioner, who had intended to sit, was unable to take his seat from serious indisposition, and the business of the Court was delayed, in order to obtain the sanction of the authorities of the Home-office, enabling Mr. Nichols, the senior Barrister, to preside. Mr. Nichols could not cOmmence business until nearly one o'clock, when the Learned Gentleman proceeded with the country bail, which had been investigated by the Chief Commissioner on the previous day. IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM BUTT. This was a novel case. The insolvent had been ht.ard at Ilchester, and remanded for two months for a vexa tious defence at the suit at the detaining creditor. He was discharged as to his other debts, conditionally on satisfying the Court that an advertisement had appeared in a newspaper, according to the prescribed time. The advertisement turned out to be inserted too late, and consequently the case stood adjourned to the next Cir cuit, and the present application was to obtain bail until the Circuit in October. The detaining creditor opposed on an affidavit. (J a• On the part of the insolvent it was contended, that as the period of remand had expired, the party could• not oppose. Mr. Commissioner IsTrcrioLs said there was a novelty in this case. It was true the time had expired, but the Act only ordered notice to the detaining creditors for all creditors, and he should therefore admit the oppo sition. An affidavit was read as to the bail, and the Court re jected them. It was complained on the part of the insolvent that it was a very hard case on him. The Learned COMMISSIONER, after he had concluded the country bail, proceeded with the town cases.. Very few were opposed, and nearly all were allowed for the sittings in November. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Matthew Kelly, and his wife, were brought before Sir Peter Laurie on the following charge: On the sth of August a little boy, between two and . three years of age, was found by a policeman sitting alone on the step of a hall-door in Milk -street, Cheapside. The policeman, having waited some time to see whe ther any person would go up to the boy's protection, and having seen nobody, took him to the union station in Cannon-street, by the officers of which he was conveyed to the Norwood Institution. Hand-bills and placards were circulated, and it was at length ascertained that Mrs. Kelly had exposed the child in the hope that some Samaritan would give the protection which she had ceased to yield to the poor infant. She 'and her hus band were then taken into custody • Mrs. Kelly said that she had but a very simple state ment to make. The little boy was her child, by a man with whom she had been intimate before she was mar ried, and her husband had taken such an aversion to him, and showed such extraordinary abhorrence, that she was almost tempted to make away with the child altogether. The feelings of nature, however, became predominant, and she determined to leave the boy in the street, and watch him from a distance. She accord ingly placed him on the step of a door, and soon after wards saw the policeman take him up and convey him away. Convinced that he was perfectly safe, she re turned home with her husband, who was in her company at the time. She resolved to lose her child, and but for whom she never would have thought of such means of separation. Sir PETER LAURIE asked the male prisoner what he did when his wife determined to abandon her infant ? Kelly said that he had taken a complete hatred to the little boy in consequence of the conduct of his father, who had dared to call and visit his mother, although she was a married woman. Before he married Mrs. Kelly he was aware of the folly she had committed, but he paid every attention and kindness to the little boy. Returning one day, however, after a walk with the child, whom did he see but his wife's paramour in her company, and he con ceived from that moment the most unconquerable hatred to her son. lie admitted that he made no objection to the proposition of his wife to expose the child. Sir PETER Lime asked whether the father gave any support to the . child ? Mrs. Kelly—lie never gave me one farthing since the birth of the child, and it was my husband's'fault that the father came to the house, for My husband, notwithstanding all he says, invited him to dinner instead of turning him out as he ought to have done. Sir P. LAURIE—That was certainly an encouragement to the renewal of the old intimacy, and very disgraceful. Mrs. Kelly—My husband was master of his own hott4e, and ought to have exercised his authority. Sir P. LAURIE—He ought not to have hesitated to support the child when he married you, knowing what had occurred. One of the parochial officers of the district in which the child was found stated that the poor -rates were enor mous on account of the number of children whose fathers the Poor-law refused to touch. The casualties exceeded all imagination. Sir P. LAURIE said it was quite impossible that the Poor-law could remain as it was, and he hoped the new Administration would introduce the necessary alterations and modifications. Kelly said that he had, upon Marrying his wife, most willingly undertaken to support the buy, and i. had ac cordingly treated the child with as inuch t::1 - :::,.:rness as she had exercised towsrds his child, which she had in her arms. Sir P. LA:unrE—l commit you both for trial for the offence, which is a very bad one. Nothing can be worse than to desert a poor infant. Mrs. Kelly—l knew perfectly well that no harm would come to him from the policeman, whom I saw carry him to the union ; and the life I led with my husband was dreadful on account of him. Kelly—l could not help my hatred of the boy. The two prisoners were committed for trial, and the child was sent to the Institution at Norwood. A gentleman of the name of Barnes applied to Sir Peter Laurie, in consequence of a very intolerable nui sance, which is unfortunately of long standing in this metropolis. He considered that Sir Peter Laurie would afford him assistance to put an end to, or to abate at any rate, the annoyance to which respectable people were sub jected by its operation. He alluded to the conduct of a set of fellows who were in the habit of infesting auction rooms, and contrived by insulting gentlemen and ladies who attended to bid for; the goods, to get everything of any value into their own hands at their own price. Ho particularly alluded to the Jew dealers, who inade a point of insulting those who came to auctions to supply themselves with articles of which they might stand in need. A case had just occurred in the Lord Mayor's district in which he (Mr. Barnes) had been grossly insulted, and he had applied to the police, but they did not consider themselves justified in interfering to any great extent. The evil was a very serious one in many respects, particularly as to the depreciation of the property for sale. Mr, Wheeler, the Common Councilman, who accom panied Mr. Barnes, stated that he had frequently wit nessed the conduct objected to. All the property for sale at the various auction-rooms was justly depreciated by the fellows described, who tittered unbounded abuse in order to clear the place, and have all that was valu able to themselves. Ladies were sure to be insulted with the grossest language. Sir P. LAURIE was glad that public notice was taken of the evil, as he had no doubt that the public exposure would lead to a remedy. . . A policeman stated that he had been called in by Mr. Barnes, who complained of being grossly insulted. There was a great noise of chaffing and jeering amongst the Jew brokers, and witness put one of them out of the room. The broker, however, soon afterwards returned, and called Mr. Barnes a liar. Mr. Hobler said that the brokers, after they succeeded in preventing respectable people from bidding, had ,that they called a " knock out" amongst themselves—a divi sion of the goods—and the public'had no chance what ever against them. The police officers were right in acting with caution, but the persons described by Mr. &ants could be indicted for a conspiracy to injure the property for sale, and it would, in his opinion, be easy to obtain a conviction. Sir P. LAURIE approved of the suggestion of Mr. Hob ler, and stated that he should wish very much to be in strumental to a reform of so great an abuse. lie then advised Mr. Barnes and Mr. Wheeler to employ certain officers of great skill and experience in proceeding against the offenders, whom, he believed, it would be a matter of no difficulty to get convicted by 'a Jury. The two gentlemen returned thanks to Sir Peter Laurie, and said that they would certainly follow his excellent advice. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Thompson, a person very fashionably dressed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby, the presiding Magistrate, charged with the following unprovoked as sault :—His Excellency Count Dewits, of No. 15, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square, stated that between two and three yesterday morning, he 'was walking up the Haymarket arm-and-arm with two friends, when he received a most violent blow on the back of the neck, which nearly stunned him, and on turning round saw the defendant close behind him. Police-'2onstable No. 141, of the C division, stated that he saw the defendant running across Piccadilly, and on coming up with Count limits, he struck him with all his might in the manner described. Mr. MALTBY inquired whether any provocation had been given to the defendant ? His Excellency said— Not the slightest ; he had never seen or spoken to the defendant before to his knowledge. The defendant said that he was returning home from a party when, as he was crossing Piccadilly, he was struck by some person, and although he could not tell by whom, he thought he had a right to return the blow to some one. Mr. MALTBY—Pray, in what station of life are you ? Defendant—l am a medical man. Mr. MALTBY—Then, I shall fine you 31., and in de fault commit you to prison for one month. The defendant immediately paid the fine and was dis charged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Charlotte England, a middle-aged woman, who, from her language and manner, had evidently seen better days, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with having assaulted Colonel Charles Wyndham, and created a dis turbance at the house of his brother, No. 4, Grosvenor place. Colonel Wyndham stated, that between 20 and 30 years ago be had formed a casual acquaintance with the defendant, which in a short time terminated ; but she had at various times since annoyed him. Thecomplaint he had now to makengainst her was for annoyance and insult of the grmsest description on that morning. He was, with his wife and family, at present on a visit with his brother, at No. 4, Grosvenor-place, and on that morn ing a servant informed him that a woman named Eng land wanted to speak to him. lie replied that he knew no such person, and did not wish to see her. In the meantime the defendant made her way into the house, and created the greatest disturbance amongst the, ser vants, insisting that she would not go until she had seen him. She was at length put out ; but, us she con tinued her violence and repeatedly rang the bell, he sent for a policeman, and, on his arrival, being determined to bring the matter to an issue, he himself went into the street. The moment he made his appearance, the defendant came up and assailed him with the coarsest and most violent abuse, applying the epithets villain, scoundrel, ruffian, &c., and swearing she would murder him. He at length gave her in custody to a policeman, and accom panied them to the station-house, and on their way there she seized him by the pocket of his coat, and, had it not been for the exertions of the policeman, would have torn it from his back. William Field, police constable 101 B, proved finding defendant ringing the bell at No. 4, Grosvenor-place. She swore she would riot go until she saw Colonel Wyndham, and she would murder him the moment he came out, even though she should be hanged for it. In the station-house her conduct was equally violent, and she swore she would break every window in Colonel Wyndham's house directly she was liberated. The woman, in her defence, said that she had never received any relief, although he had written to him in the most humble and submissive manner. She had been married to a respetable stonemason, who worked for Go vernment, but he died six years since, and she had been reduced to the greatest distress. She wrote to complain ant for relief when on a sick bed and in a dying state, but he neglected her application. She was at length re duced to the rags in which she then stood, and being nearly without shoes, was unable to visit the different shops in search of needle-work, as she had been in the habit of doing. So far from having annoyed the com plainant, she had not even seen him for the last twenty Tars, and when she saw Captain Wyndham that morn ing he appeared so much altered for the worse that she hardly knew him. Complainant begged it to be distinctly understood that he was Colonel Charles Wyndham. Mr. GREGORIE said, Colonel Wyndham must be pro tected, and defendant must therefore find bail to keep the peace for three months. Defendant said she had no bail to offer, and must be, therefore, she supposed, sent to prison. She was removed in custody. WORSHIP-STREET. A tall and athletic youn g fellow, named Willi am G re i g , who stated that he worked at the Docks, was charged with having violently assaulted Eliza Hill, a good-look ing girl, aged 17, and also with having assaulted police constable N 49. The female complainant stated that she resided at Clapton with her mother, and she was returning home, between eight and nine o'clock on the preceding even ing-, when she met the prisoner, who endeavoured to ob trude his conversation upon her, but she crossed the road to avoid him. He followed her, however, and again addressed her ; and, after walking for a short distance by her side, he stopped at a public-house, and ordered a pint of ale at the door, which he made her partake of. After leaving the house he urged her to accompany hi m down an obscure turning, and on her refusing to do so, he caught her up in his arms, and carried h er into it.' She struggled violently, and succeeded in getting from him, but he ran after her, and struck her several times on her mouth and throat. He then threw her down, and was proceeding tobehave with brut a l violence towards' her, when a policeman, who was attracted to the spot by her cries, ran up and rescued her from his grasp. The prisoner put several question s to the compla i nan t with a view of showing that a previ ous i n ti mac y had subsisted between them ; butshe positively denied tha t such was the case. Police-constable N 49 . stated that he was on duty near that a m s tiegiliiitnhgauvpe h b e ee f n ou h n e d ar t d h e a gu a a r r t t i e e r s the spot, when he h ear d p i ercing screams from a woman on g him, on the ground. Th e p r i soner, on seei p n jumped up, and with the ex c l amat i on " You --, give it you," he • ostfivaggmliinlegolf, and grappled with him, and they b o th fell down. The pri soner managed to get uppermost, and presSed his knee so heavily on the breast of w i tnes s that his breath almost 'failed him, and he was obliged t o let g o his hold. The prisoner then made his escape, but he was afterwards cap tured by another officer. The mother of the girl stated that immediately after the outrage her daughte r reached home in a dreadf ul state of agitation, and told her what had occurred. Her bonnet was much bent and broken and was stained with blood, and the rest of her dress was nearly torn to pieces. ller daughter got her livinf , by needlework, and was a prudent well-conducted girl. Police Sergeant N 8 said that the prisoner r hadinstealz lead, been tried and con victed at the Old Bailey for and he was a most notorious character. Mr. BROUGHTON said that whatever might be the general conduct of the prosecutrix, she had acted very indiscreetly in partaking of the ale which the prisoner offered her, which circumstance alone deterred him from committing the prisoner for trial. Without imposing any fine he should commit him for a month to the House of Correction. WANDSWORTH POLICE. John Clark, a middle-aged man, dressed in a faded suit of black, whose countenance bespoke too plainly the ravages of starvation, was placed at the bar before Mr. Paynter, charged with stealing 17 . potatoes from the grounds of bir. ropart, a market gardener, in Battersea. Tye, 177 V„ p..oved that un the previous evening he \ VaS doing duty in plain clothes in Battersea fields, when he saw the prisoner pull up the potatoes pro duced, which he put into his pocket. He took him into custody, and found the potatoes upon him. The prisoner, who had evidently been well educated and seen better days, said he would not deny having, stolen the potatoes, but hunger had driven him to it ; he had had no food since Monday. Mr. PAYNTER put several questions to the prisoner, in answer to which the prisoner stated that he had lately got his living by portering ; he was married, and lived with his wife at No. 11, James-street. Westmin ster-road ; his wife endeavoured to get a little money by needlework, bat this source of employment had failed for the present. Mr. PAYNTER said the prisoner should have gone to the overseers of the parish in which he lived, and asked them for relief, and not have wilfully purloined the property of .another.
