The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity, the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe riod of thirty-five years. At the present time so many establishments exist, vieing with each other in the profession of benefits to the public, which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to thousands of industrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages which have been realised by these Offices. The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, fi osn its first establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These amount at the present time to 125,000/.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in pr*of of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. _ The peri;sal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the Mork.—Age. The multitude of books daily lOming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having;t hoNever, been induced by the character given of this.work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly mot al a book —Conservative Journal.

Soon after the commission of the murder Inspector Brake wrote to Mr. Bradley, high constable of Orford, near Seven oaks,, for wh atever particulars he could give respecting 'Blakesley, and to request that if he was in the neigh bourhood he might be.secured..: The result was the fol lowing letter, addressed to Sergeant Bradley, who hap dens to be the brother of the high constable : " Orford, near Sevenoaks, Kent, Sept. 23, 1841. " Brother James—l have been to Sevenoaks this morning, and ascertained the premises lately occupied by the murderer, Robert Blakesley, here, are adjoining Mr. Harman's, at Bota n y B ay. Ben j am i n C oo k , car penter, of Seale, built him .a building for a slaughter ' house. He went to Mr.. Cooke's and bought thirty-nine sheep and three lambs, which were to be paid for on de livery. He told the man lie had not then the money by him, but would pay his master to-morrow. The man would not leave the sheep without the money, and for a day or two they were turned into a neighbouring field. The person he had engaged to assist in killing was Wil liam Reynolds, of the Crown Tap, to whom he owes 5/. ss. for labour and sundries. He had no cutlery or tools, and felt himself sadly disappointed in Mr. Burdon not sending them. The premises belonged to Mr. Moon, butcher, to whom the meat and lent money was owing. He had an execution entqedrsit•thel premises, by Cook e , for tbVerntotint of the sla :;house47L At the time of the sale Mr.Burdon was there, and they both, with the auctioneer, Mr. Saunders, took tea at Mr. Harman's. He (Blakesley) expressed himself very much dissatisfied with the conduct of Mr. Cook, saying he had not done with him yet, and that he wanted hanging up in the slaughter-house for an hour, or he should th in k i t no s i n to stab him. I hav e seen the letter -this morning. Mr. I ispector Brake sent to my brother high-constable, but BlakeSley has not been seen by any one who knows him, and I do not think it at all likely he will come here, un less it is to have some revenge on Cooke." The sheep and lambs were ordered from a farmer named Cooke, living at Seale Chart, about a mile and a half from Sevenoaks. Blakesley defrauded several tradesmen in the town, and while at Sevenoaks endea voured to borrow 1001. of Mr. Lee, butcher, of Leaden hall-market, on a bill of exchange, and also a similar sum of Mr. Peat, the saddler, of Piccadilly. Just prior to the murderer's marriage with the unfortunate sister in law of Mr. Burdon, he managed, in order to affect an appearance that lie was a man of respectability, to obtain 3001. from a stockbroker in the City, on a bill of exchange for three months, part of which suns he expended at the time of hit marriage. Mrs. Eliza Burdon, the widow of the murdered man, states, in addition to the evidence given before the Coroner, that her husband and Blakesley were on the most friendly terms, until he was apprised of his con duct at Sevenoaks. Blakesley wrote to him for money and cutlery for killing, &c., and it was his intention to accede to the request, but happening to go down to Sevenoaks, he discovered how things were, and declined, as lie believed it would do no good. This much exas perated Blakesley, and Mr. Burdon advised them to come to London, and offered to support Mrs. Blakesley until he got into something. He told Blakesley he should be glad to see him at any time, but he could not allow him to sleep in the house. Blakesley reluctantly agreed, and her sister returned, and they were very comfortable until within three or four days before the murder, when words took place between them respecting Mrs. Blakesley going to live with him. That was the sole cause of their quarrel, and Blakesley became so insolent that Mr. Burdon forbade him his house. She is positive Blakesley was on the outside of the door, before he enter e d, some ti me , watching that the place was clear, as she. observed the door open and shut several times before he came in. The moment she caught a sight of Blakesley's face, on seeing him enter the bar, she was convin ce d h e i nten d e d some mischief. His looksl were fierce and determined, and he appeared so wild. She states that the description of his dress and person which has already gone forth is some what incorrect. She stated that at the time Of the mur der he possessed no other clothes than those he wore, excepting a buff waistcoat. They consisted of a dark invisible green Newmarket coat; - with black buttons, light drab trousers, with open buttons, and three buttons at the bottom on each side, a black satin waist coat and orange sprigs, a light blue handkerchief, Wel lington boots, and silk hat. lie has a quick gait in Walking, and generally keeps his 'eyes fixed towards the ground. lie has black hair and whiskers, and all his shirts and stockings are inarko " Robert Blakesley," in black ink. Mr. D. W. Harvey, the city police commissioner, on Friday waited upon Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Department, recommending that a reward of 100/. should be offered for the apprehension of the murderer, or for information that might lead to it ; and a reward of 201. to any waterman who might find the body. This proposition, it is believed, was at once readily acceded to. Mrs. Sarah Blakesley, the wife of the murderer, is doing well. A favourable change took place on Thursday night, and strong hopes are now entertained of her ulti ''inate. recovery. On Friday Mr. Burdon's brother visited her, and on asking "How she was ?" the poor creature, who is still in a very weak state, exclaimed " Oh God, I have been the cause of my brother's murder." After a short time she became calm, and entered into an expla nation of the horrible scene of Tuesday night, which en tirely corresponded with that given by her sister. She expressed a surprise that Blakesley should have made an attempt on her life, as she was on the most affectionate terms with biro, and on their last,parting on Sunday night he appeared quite happy and cheerful. She said they never had the slightest quarrel, and she believed that he doated upon her. They, however, differed upon the point of her leaving her brother's house, she wishing to stay till lie got into employment. She frequently makes inquiry if he has been apprehended, and appears exbeed ingly anxious, and at times excited. If her life be saved it will be owing to the resistance presented to the knife by her stays, which caused it to glance off and penetrate the abdomen horizontally.. The funeral of Mr. Burdon will take place to-morrow (Monday). The unhappy father of the murderer has been known as a tradesman of great respectability in the city fur nearly forty years ; he was a Common Councilman, and his brother is now a representative of one of the wards. The family of Mr. Blakesley, sen., consisted of two sons and two daughters ; one of the sons was drowned some time ago, and the other has by his crimes now obtained a melancholy notoriety. Since the 29th of last April, Blakesley, the murderer, has absented himself froth his paternal roof. He was brought up under his father's eye. in his warehouse, and at the period stated Mr. Blakesley, sen., gave him a sum of money for the pur pose of paying for a suit of clothes, and since then he has seen nothing of him. The murderer married with out the knowledge of his father, and immediately after wards he and his wife went to Sevenoaks, where he pro posed setting up as a butcher, but was unable to carry his intentions out in consequence of his credit getting into disrepute. In order to celebrate. his marriage he was obliged to have recourse to Mr. Vale, of Tokenhouse yard, an acquaintance of his father's, who then lent him the sum of money he required. Since then the following letter, in the handwriting of the murderer, was addressed to Mr. Vale, and has been by that gentleman deposited in the hands of tho police : " Bradburne Cottage, Sevenoaks, Kent, Aug. 9, 1841. " Dear Sir—l shall feel greatly obliged if you will con fer a further favour upon me, and only for one month. I assure you it will be the making of me. If you will oblige me, be assured you shall have it again in one month from the present time. In fact, it will save me from something very unpleasant. Pray let me have it by return of post if you can, dr as much of it as you can spare. In haste.—Ever your's truly, " BLAKESLEY. " James Vale, Esq., Tokenhouse-yard." The request made in the above letter was not granted, and within a few days Blakesley's goods were seized, and he returned to London, and for several days both himself and his wife found an asylum at Mr. Burdon's, the King's Head. The mur dered man, seeing that Blakesley had no prospect of ob taining employment, intimated to him that he could not remain at the King's Head, and Mrs. Blakesley then went to No. 22, York-place, City-road, and requested the murderer's father would allow him to come until he could obtain a situation, adding. that she would be provided for by her sister and brother-in-law in the meantime. Mr. Blakesley, sen., however, refused to received his son, or even big clothes, which the wife begged him to do to prevent his pawning them. This was the only in terview that the father had with Mrs. Blakesley. The following letter will show that Blakesley, after leaving Sevenoaks, resided in Eastcheap. The original is in the murderer's own handwriting : " 44, Eastcheap, London, A ug.

I have written to Mr. Saunders by this post respecting the cottages. 111 rs. Blakesley joins with me in kind remembrances to yourself and Mrs. Harman. I am your greatly obliged, " R. BLAKESLEY. " Mr. Harman, Bradbourne Vale, Sevenoaks, Kent." ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Upon inquiry at the station-house in Tower-street on Saturday afternoon, it was ascertained that the police had not received any intelligence respecting the retreat of Blakesley, and hence the belief gains ground that he has committed self-destruction by drowning. His respect able parents are in a state of deep affliction, and the heartless statement that has been circulated, that the friends of Blakesley had reported that he had committed suicide in order to facilitate his escap e from justice, has added to their mental anguish, It is almost unneces sary to add that the insinuation is totally groundless, A post mortem examination was on Saturday made on the body of Mr. Burdon, for even amongst the medical profession it was rather a phenomenon that the wound shouid have caused almost instantaneous death. Dissec tion accounted for the hesitating opinion on the part of the surgeons. It was found that the aorta was divided, preventing, of course, the circulation of the blood through the arteries and veins, and causing the flow of blood not to pass through the orifice, but to fall into the cavity of the abdomen, and thereby produced in consd quence sudden death. The knife . having been pointed upwards by a blow from the left hand, passed through the aorta and interior portions of the body, until its egress was stopped by striking against the vertebrae or back bone. A rough wound, such as would be caused by definitive resistance to a sharp-edged instrument, was found on the back-bone of Mr. Burdon. J. A. BEAUMONT, Managing I)krpcter.

On Saturday afternoon the reporter ascertained from Mr. Inspector Brake, who holds the Coroner's warrant for the apprehension of Blakesley, that a hat had been found in the river which was supposed to belong to the murderer. It appears that at high tide on Saturday morn ing a waterman named Weare found the hat off the floating-bath near Blackfriar's-bridge. Having heard of the murder of Mr. Burden he at once took it to the police station in Black Horse -court, Farringdon- street, and delivered it into the hands of Mr. Inspector Lloyd. The Inspector sent it forthwith to Mr. Harvey, the Commissioner's-office, and the fact of the finding was conveyed to Inspector Brake. The latter Inspector waited upon Mr. Blakesley, sen., in Basinghall-street, and he tried the hat on and expressed his belief that it be longed to his son. In the hat is the name of Christie, the maker, of Gracechurch-street, and the date when it was purchased, Ist May, 1841. Mr. Christie states that he sold above 100 hats on that day, and six of the same size as the one discovered were purchased, and two of the cus tomer's names were not entered in his books. The hat is a beaver one, and Mr. Blakesley, sen., told Inspector Brake that the murderer had a positive aversion to silk hats. The inspector next went to the King's Head, Eastcheap, and showed the hat to Mr. Burdon's widow and her mother, who, as well as the servant and pot-boy, declared their belief to be that the hat is that worn by Blakesley on Tuesday night. The hat is in the posses.- sion of Mr. Brake, of the lower-street station, and has a quantity of sand and mud in it. A number of water men, under the direction of Inspector Lloyd, were last evening very actively engaged in dragging the river for the body of Blakesley. The house of the deceased re mains closed. At four o'clock yesterday the remains of Mr. Bunion, the murdered man, were deposited in the churchyard of St. Mary-at•-Hill. The funeral procession (a walking one) consisted of about ten couples, and amongst the mourners were Mrs. Burdon, the widow, her mother, the deceased's brother and child, a little boy, and other relatives. A great crowd of persons followed the fune ral, but the police in attendance closed the gates of the churchyard against the public. The Hue and Cry of Saturday did not contain the offer of any reward for 131akesley's apprehension, but yester day afternoon the following bills were generally circu lated throughout the metropolis and suburbs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.---011 Friday morn bag a report reaehed the Court of the unexpected death of Mr. Canaan, one of the official assi.thees attached to the divisional Court of Mr. Commissioner Fane, and upon inquiry we found it to be but too true. Although confined to his house for a few days past, Mr. Canaan transacted the business of his office up to Thursday afternoon, and his son, who was engaged on the same day in the case of Mr. Ellis John Troughton up to four o'clock, did not express the slightest apprehension of his father's so immediate dissolution. l‘fr. Canaan was, we under stand, many yt ars since engaged in extensive business as a druggist, anti since his appointment to the situation of an official assigne e had given very general satisfaction to the Learned Commissioner and the suitors of the Court. By his demise an appointment, worth at least from 800/. to I,OOC/., has become vacant, and is, as we have been informed, in the gift of the Lord High Chancellor for the time being. Mk!. Canaan, we understand, was about seventy years of age. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A LADY OF PeorzaTY.—On Friday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, a lady of the name of Marshall, who resided at No. 18, Pritchard-road, and who, in consequence cf being liable to occa.. s i f ig on n al i a a btrations of mind, was under restraint, left her home unperceived, and flung herself into the Regent's Canal. The a ct was seen by several perso ns , an d an alarm was raised, when the drags were immediately employed to extricate the unfortu nate woman. She was speedily taken out and conveyed to the Sir Walterfe wereSc esetrtpourbtleid to, e-ho butuse, wwhitehnouthteusu avai l.a 1 means The to deceasedre s resus citate citate life was 58 year 3 of age. " For the better apprehending and bringing to punish ment the above-named Robert Blakesley, the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury hereby offer 1001. reward to any person, or persons, who may apprehend, or cause to be apprehended, the above Robert 13Ialtesley, or give such information as may lead to his apprehension and conviction, by application to Inspector Hodgson, at the chief Police-office, Basinghsll•street, or to Inspector Brake, at the Station-house, Tower-street, in the city of London." In the opinion of the medical attendant of MN. Blake::- ley, she continues to improve. It was but lately that we had to announce the melancholy death of the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel M o l yneux, of the Bth Hussars. A most painful surgical operation had been performed on him ; but the disease had passedhuoian skill, and he heard with resignation that there was no hope of recovery. With the certainty of imminent death before hi m , t hi s excel lent man did not forget his regiment, for it is said that he wrote to the Horse Guards stating that, as he had never b efore asked a favour, and as this would be his first a n d hi s l ast request, he did entreat that the vacancies caused by hi s death should be tilled up from among his brother officers, his friends. That dying request was acceded to, and Major J ames M'Call is now the Li e ut.-C o lonel. Perhaps this was the richest legacy which their late beloved commander could have bequeathed to the regiment, for in Lieut.-Colonel *Call they will find an officer who proves in his own person that th e fi rmness and discipline of the soldier are net inconsistent with the courtesies of a gentle man and accomplishments of a scholar.- Sunday paper. 7,c77 , .. .

On the night of the tra gical event a constable went to No. 22, York-place, City road, and saw Mr. and;Mrs. Blakesley and their two daugh ters. Having requested that the ladies might retire, he communicated to Mr. Blakesley, sen., the commission of the murder by his son, and desired that he might search the premises, as it was thought the offender m i g h t h ave taken refuge there. M r . Bl a k e sley, who displayed great nerve on learning the alarming intelligence, at once con sented to his house being searched, and assisted the po lice in doing so. No traces, however, of him could be found. Considerable discussion has arisen amongst the inhabi tants of the ward, and in the various places of public resort in the City, on the subject of the easy escape of the murderer, and very many persons attribute that cir cumstance to the negligence of the City Police ; in con sequence of this opinion, a lengthened conversation took place between the Coroner, the Jury, and Mr. 1). W. Harvey, the police commissioner, which was not reported in the newspapers. If the following statement be true, it is indeed surprising that Blakesley should have escaped immediate detection. It was boldly asserted that lbur police constables were on duty within a very short dis tance of the King's Head on Tuesday nigh t—v;z., two in Gracechurch-street, who pass the end of Eastcheap, one in King William-street, and the fourth (whose duty it was to pass Mr. Burdon's every quarter of an hour) in Eastcheap, Pudding and Bodolph-lanes. The latter stated that he did not see Blakesley on Tuesday night, and that he was in Pudding-lane when the cry of murder was raised in the streets. The Jury expressed them selves much dissatisfied at the long beats which many of the constables had to go over, and to the want of a suf ficient number during the sittings of the Central Crimi nal Court, where several were always in attendance. It appears that Mr. Harvey induced the City authorities, a short time ago, to augment the police by thirty, and that he has since given it as his opinion there should be a still further increase, but it has not yet been acted upon. There is no doubt, however, in consequence of the re presentations of the Jury, the fears ,excited by the recent murder, and the paucity of the police in certain districts, that they will be speedily augmented, and their beats curtailed. The most interesting information, viz., that which relates to the almost instantaneous death of Mr. Bur don, and to the magnanimity and extraordinary presence of mind of his sister-in-la w , the wife of the m ur d erer , who was first stabbed, had not been laid before the public. Mr. English, of No. 224 . Gracechurch-street, the ordinary medical attendant of the family, stated to the reporter, that on Tuesday night, as he was about to take temporary repose from his professional labours, a party called to say that he was wanted at Mr. Burdon's. Thinking that it was not a matter of pressing import ance, he did not hurry himself, but in the course of a few minutes seven or eight persons arrived, announcing the dreadful occurrence. He hastened to the King's Head, and saw Mr. Burdon lying on his back inside the bar, and immedtately perceived that he was dead, and beyond the power of human skill. Four or five medical gentlemen were busily employed in examining the wound of Mr. Burdon, and, what was most astonishing, no . body's attention had been directed to the unfortunate wife of the murderer, who seemed to be unconscious of the severe injury inflicted upon herself, until Mr. English discovered it. Her whole faculties seemed to be ab sorbed in endeavours to provide for the safety of her brother-in-law. She assisted in untying his cravat, and gave orders as to the best way, in her opinion, that he ought to be treated. Mr. English then discovered that she was standing in a pool of blood that had flowed from her person, and instantly directed that size should be conveyed to her bed-room. In doing sf,r, upon the stairs she fainted, and the syncope prevented fortunately fora time any further hemorrhage. She was placed upon a bed, and her clothes having been cut off, it was found that she had an incised wound penetrating the peri toneum, but not into the abdomen, on the right side, through the thin portion of the stays which covered the hip, and opposite to the nether region of the liver. Being perfectly insensible, restoratives were adminis tered to reproduce pulsation, and when they had taken effect the wound was dressed. She continued after wards in a comparative state of delirium, and Mr. English remained watching her progress during the whole of the night. At i n t erva l s. sh broke out i n t o incoherent expressions, mentioning her brother-in-law's name, and frequently her husband's, supposing he was by her bedside. It was not at all expected that she would survive the injuries inflicted by the wound, but he continued, on occount of the unusual circumstances of the case, to watch her without intermission until yes terday evening, when, seeing that she had slept soundly for about an hour, and symptoms of irritation mentally and physically having subsided, he examined the wound, and judged from its appearance that it was going on favourably. Mr. English is now of opinion, though he never thought so before, that she will, under careful treatment, ultimately recover. His opinion is founded not only on the appearance of the wound, but from his knowledge of her excellent constitution. She was of a clear, healthy, and florid complexion, slightly inclined to obesity, but had never had any severe illness. Mr. English states that she is now in the 25th year of her age. . e‘‘f-fi/i PRICE 5d SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TIIE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY; GLOBE.—TiIe House of Commons was last night wholly occupied with two questions, the discussions on which, and the results to which they led, will not fail to convince the most sceptical of the kind of sympathies which influence the Tory majority of that branch of the Legislature. To separate these discussions would be to deteriorate their effect. They form companion pic tures. They portray the moral image of Toryism better than any mere abstract discussion of its principles could possibly do. Here we have Toryism in operation. Its ear open to the modest claims of Master Scar lett fur compensation for the loss of an office to which his affectionate and considerate parent, Lord Abinger, appointed him, when he knew that the office was about to be abolished, and at once deciding that a large sum shall be paid out of the public revenue to the already well-provided -for favourite of fortune ; but— with characteristic apathy for the sufferings of the masses, who with their families are subjected to the extremity of present suffering, and to the still more appalling prospect of absolute want and hunger during the winter which is approaching—this very same Tory majority agreed than an inquiry into the causes, with a view to the relief, of these distresses, might be safely postponed to a more convenient season, some five or six months hence ! This early consideration of the Hon. Master Scarlett's case—this prompt and generous pro vision to him for life, out of the public revenue, for well. paid services during the few months he has held the office which his noble father gave, and he took, with the full expectation that it would be shortly abolished —such beneficence at the public cost will doubtless make a deep and lasting impression of gratitude on Muster Scarlett's heart, and oa those of Ills numerous connec tions having seats in the Honourable House ; each one of whom, with the honourable recipient of such substantial benefits, will be ready by their votes to aid in the perpetration of an y s i m il ar j o b which will bring with it similar advantages to any of the kind friends to whom Master Scarlett is so greatly indebted. STANDARD.—The proceedings of the House of Commons were last night protracted to a great and an unprofitable length. At first the House was occupied by a revival of th e s h a bb y oppos i t i on to Mr. Scarlett's com pensation for the loss of his office, which compensation the Whig-Radic a l p ar t y objected to on the ground that Lord Abinger ought to have foreseen the ex• tinction of the office wheat he appointed Mr. Scarlett. The debate itself is the answer to this plea. Why is the question again revived ?—because the office is not yet extinguished. And why is not the office extinguished ?—because upon this, as upon every other case of law reform, the late Ministers either openly belied their promise, or loaded its performance with conditions so rankly corrupt as to evade it not less effectually. Lord Abinger had to look for the Reform which was to extinguish the office that, under the com mand of an Act of Parliament, he must supply by a com petent officer, either to the honesty of the Whig-Radi cal Cabinet--a remote contine•ency indeed—or to the accession of a Conservative Administration—an event at the time precarious. The shabby attempt, however, was a second time defeated. Colonel Sibthorp objected to. the retiring salary of 3,5001. a year awarded to Vice- Chancellors as excessive. Colonel Sibthorp is right to be economical, but here his zeal probably carried him too far. We do not love lawyers much more than the gallant Colonel does ; but while our laws are in their present state of confusion and uncertainty, there must be men to disentangle them, and give to the public whatever benefit they afford ; and do what we will, these men will sell their service at a high price —at a price proportioned to the opinion held of their skill. To buy the time of the most skilful amongst them will therefore be inevitably a costly purchase ; but it will not do to employ any but the most skilful as the expounders of the law. Now the number of those who obtain very large incomes at the bar may be, comparatively with the whole bar, small ; bus it is still, in relation to the number of judges, so great, as to render it i m p oss ibl e to d eal parsimoniously with the occupants of the benches of justice ; and if there be some seeming extravagance in the sums of which Colonel Sibthorp complains, it is a consolation to reflect that if the law reform which reads to the expense be not altogether delu sive, ten pounds will be saved to the public, as suitors, for every single pound paid by the public to additional Judges. We hear a great deal of the burthen of taxa tion by the State. and we feel it too ; but of all taxa tion, the taxation of lawyers is the most grievous. There is scarcely a man in the middle or humbler ranks of life, how circumspect soever in his dealings, how little soever litigious in his temper, who does not pay every year, directly or indirectly, in law charges more than lie contributes to the State by direct taxation, while hun dreds of thousands forego their just rights from unwil lingness or inability to encounter the expense of law pro ceedings. We can, therefore, assure Colonel Sibthorp that it is the soundest economy to smooth the way to a complete law reform by conciliating lawyers, even at the expense of lavish appointments. COURlER.—Already we have observed indications or mutual confidence springing up between the present Irish executive, and the Roman Catholic people ; nay, and a more significant, or more propitious omen, the Mends of order and good government could not desire. The Roman Clergy are refusing to identify themselves with his proceedings, warning their flocks against the folly and the mischievousness of the scheme of dismember ment in the prosecution of which he is so madly, but withal selfishly, engaged. So that instead of adding to the number of Repeaters, as was so confidently announced, the accession of Sir Robert Peel and his friends to power has produced the directly contrary effect, and has been hailed in that as in this country by the worth and respectability of the Roman Catholic body as the promise of repose and safety. Had we de sired a corroboration of these hastily expressed, but not hastily formed views, to the pertinence and conclusive ness of which no one could fairly object, we would find it in a pamphlet with the imprimatur of the Earl of Shrewsbury, which has recently issued from the press. In this seasonable brochure, the Noble Earl, whose devotedness to the tenets and interests of his Church no one will question, avows his belief, and what is more, manfully and ably states the ground of his belief, that the chief danger to his religion lies not in the predominance of Conservative principles, in Government or in the country, but principally on the side of the movement party. "Religion (says the Noble Earl) has nothing to gain by a state of anarchy and revolution, or, indeed, by any success of the move ment party," and significantly as truthfully adds— " religion is not in itself hostile to any form of govern ment capable of preserving peace and order ; and the only circumstances under which it may not flourish are the agitation which precedes and the deplorable conse quences which immediately follow revolution." But, apart, he shrewdly observes, from any consideration as to whether Whig or Tory rule, might be better for the country, " times are so menacing and unsettled, that a strong Government of either is more fitted to contend against the evils that are assailing both, and with both, the best securities for the peace and well-being of so ciety." This is true and forcibly expressed. We are not disposed to detract from Mr. O'Connell's claims to the gratitude of English and Irish Roman Catholics for his supposed share in the carrying of the Bill that re lieved them of disabilities, but we believe the service rendered by him on that occasion has been greatly ex aggerated, and that many of that body are now fully aware that that measure had, while in agitation, en countered greater obstacles from his violence than it had derived aid from his abilities and perseverance, and that its consummation had been rather retarded than hastened by his interference. However that may be, we are glad to find that the memory of his merits in that respect, whatever they be, no longer binds the Roman Catholics of England or Ireland to the mischievousness of his pre sent proceedings. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—The opinion that the Government will succeed in the proposed conversion of Exchequer Bills and creation of stock is now pretty generally entertained in the city. It i 3 understood to-day among other aids, that the decided support of the Bank of England is secured to the operation, and that facilities ve given, if not in a direct, at least in an indirect, way, by the Bank, which ought indeed, if truly stated, to remove all doubt on the subject. What the exact nature of t h ese facilities is does not altogether transpire. It has been said that, in order to make money abundant, the Bank have consented to grant loans on stock ; but as this would be an irregular procee di ng , without any previous public notice, and a banking operation of very doubtful expediency, even if preceded by such notice, the truth of such a statement may reasonably be doubted. There is, moreover, no necessity for such a course, as they possess abundant other means of making money plentiful, without taking any such step. Sorne nice management is understood to be required so as to induce subscribers to offer money instead of Exchequer Bills, which undoubtedly has been the original object of the measure on the part of the Treasury. It is obvious that it can only be worth while to subscribe the due proportion, when Exchequer Bills have a premium of more than 125., and hence the whole secret of success may be said to depend upon the quotation of Exche quer Bills. To this, then, the Bank lever need only be applied ; and every one who is acquainted with that market knows with how little trouble or cost, at such a time as this, such influence would be employed. A notion prevails among the leading brokers of the Stock Exchange, according to calculations founded on the price of Consols for the account, and on the current value of money, that there will be so decided an advantage in immediately pay ing up the whole of the instalments, that the new loan i 1 hardly exist at all in the shape of scrip, but be converted . a . lm:o t s o t immediately, or dttho a e tall pe ev ri e o n r ts sa i g n ac a i n ti unsually short period, 0- stock. In this respect, however, there is ranch difference te _l opinion, even among the best informed members_ of h Exchange, and as we are not exactly aware it is not circum stances to be taken into account in such a calculation , is correct. It easy to decide which of these parties is advantage of all the Stnck announced bas been given in the terms is quite certain, however, that if compared this transaction with the any y from the Trea sury,W India loan in 183.5, on which immediate h i which pay - very. the s, m n o e ni p ed ers i o n n te s re h s a t v w e will not be slow in making the disco memorable operation of the mented upon at the tim cr e, e . n , h ibed though it would have suited his occasion Mr. Spring Rice, by co a u n rag e e v d e ment of the stilri y u . e .. r a l i lt h o t s almost spread the payments over ik Vey long period, as he di net want the money immediate, and by this country had to pay a *mob larger sum in mistake of his, purpose betto . r would otherwise have boon the ease.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Be ore the RECORDER.) Henry James, George James, Thomas King, R. Morris, William Reritt, Charles Cook, and William Legorn, all Watermen, were severally indicted for having on the sth of August last wilfully overturned a boat, and thereby attempt.. ing to drown Henry Hipkins, another waterman, during a boat race eon the river Thames, near Hersleydown. Another count charged the prisoners with an assault. Mr. CHAMBERS conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. C. Josxs and Mr. CHARNOCK defended the prisoners. Henry Hipkins, the prosecutor, stated that on the sth of Au. gust last, a beat was put up by the inhabitants of St. John's, Horsleydown, to be rowed for by watermen, and he was entered as one of the competitors. There were to be five heats, and the witness was about to start for the fifth or grand heat, against a man of the name of Bradford, when Henry James, one of the prisoners, said, " So help me God, if young Hipkins can win the boat lie shall not." All the defendants were in a four oared boat, which was " backing" Bradford's boat. The wit ness and Bradford rowed scull and scull down to Horsley down, where they fouled. Henry James then called out, " Give wav," and they all came up alongside of the witness. They said if you can win you must have a swim for it. Bradford got three boats' lengths ahead of the witness. As witness was going ahead again of Bradford, Henry James came up to his boat and turned it right over, and the witness was thrown into the water under the boat. James put his hand into the water and drew the witness from under the boat. Witness could not swim, and was very much exhausted. He was taken home and did not re cover for seven days. Cross-examined—When he was turned over his boat did not touch Bradford's. Never said before this day that the defen dants said "if he could win he must have a swim for it." Some months ago witness ran foul of a boat in the Thames, whereby a boy was drowned. It was purely an accident. The Coroner acquitted witness of all blame. It is fair in a waterman's wager to foul or upset a boat, but the present was' not a waterman's wager. Henry Loder, another waterman, corroborated this testi mony. On cross-examination he said, that if the bill incurred for medicine and attendance had been paid by the defendants this prosecution would not have been proceeded with. He expected no remuneration 'for his evidence that day. The prosecutor was his brother in-law, and he merely came as a witness for him out of friend ship. Never had a bet on the result of the boat-race at all, and had no interest in the race further than a spectator. He was in the boat which was backing Hipkins's boat. Re-examined—Saw one of the defendants lay hold of Hip kins's boat and turn it over. This he could positively swear. Perridge, a waterman, who was rowing in the boat back ing Hipkins, deposed that he saw Hipkins's boat turned over, and afterwards he was taken out o. the water, and witness thought he was dead. Several other witnesses were examined, who confirmed the above evidence. Mr. C. JONES submitted that the evidence did not affect any of the defendants except the two James's. The RECORDER said there was evidence against all of theta except Morris, whom he directed the Jury to acquit at once, and which they accordingly did. Mr. C. JONES then addressed the Jury at 'great length on the part of the defendants, and afterwards called several wit nesses, including Hambrook, one of the Thames-police, and Morris, the defendant who had been acquitted, from whose evidence it appeared that the prosecutor's boat fouled that of Radford, that they became locked together, and that owing to the strong tide that was running at the time the prosecutor's boat was upset, and that he was thrown into the water before the cutter in which the defendants were, came up. The RECORDER suggested the best mode of settling the case would be to withdraw a juror. He had no doubt that the presecte ion would not have been instituted but for the threaten.. mg language which the defendants had used to the prosecutor before his boat was upset. The defendants' counsel refused to accede to this proposition, and other witnesses were called whose evidence confineed that already adduced on the part of the defendants. The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the Jury re tired to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of an hour and a half, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the de fendants on the first count, but acquitted them of the intention to drown the prosecutor. The RECORDER ordered them to enter into their own recog nizances to appear and receive judgment next Sessions. The case lasted upwards of eight hours. Mary Ryan was indicted for stealing two gold watches, value 451., and a gold neck chain, the property of D. Jones, a pawnbroker in High Holborn. It appears from the evidence, that on the 7th of September, about eight o'clock in the evening, the prisoner deliberately da4ied her hand through the prosecutor's shop window and snatched the above articles. A person who witnessed the en tire transaction seized her; she had one of the watches in her hand, but dropped the other. The witnesses stated, that she appeared to have been drinking, and that when asked why she had broken the window and stolen the prosecutor's property, she replied because I chose. When called upon for her defence, the prisoner said, she was the worse for liquor when she passed the prosecutor's shop, and having accidentally slipped, her arm went through the window, and in endeavouring to save herself from falling, she caught bold of the articles which she was charged with stealing. She did not run away, but held one of the watches in her hand until she was taken into custody. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sen tenced her to one year's imprisonment in the House of Cor rection. AYR J USTICIAR - 11C011itT, SEPT. 21 The Autumn Circuit vv:,s opened here yesterday, by the Lord Justice Clerk and Lord Mackenzie. John 111'Cullach, ploughman, Wheatpark, parish of St. Evox, was charged with culpable homicide ; having, on the 14th of July last, recklessly thrown a dog into a coalpit, situated on the farm of 'VI heatpark, by which a person of the name of David Steel, who was coming up the pit at the time in a bucket, was precipitated to the bottom, and killed upon the spot. The prisoner pled not guilty. • Robert Harvey, bank man, deposed that on the 14th of July last, the prisoner came to the pit for coals, which were refused, because he had neither money nor his master's line for the same. He had a dog along with him. Pannell, after talking awhile ; said he would give any man a gill of whisky that we . ..ad kill the dog. Wit ness answered, in jest, that the l oest way that he knew to kill the dog was to throw hi:n down the pit. l'sl‘Culloch immediately caught the di-g by the tail, and threw it into the pit. He heard a cry come up the pit before the tub, I which contained one 'man and two boys, reached the top. David Boyd, the oversman was in the tub, and some words passed between him and the pannel, at the pit head, which witness did not hear. About twenty minutes afterwards the dead body of Steele was brought up. It was quite a common thing for workmen in the pit to come Up at all hours of the day. John M . Cal hillsinan, was next interrogated, and corro borated the testimony of the preceding witness regarding the prisoner's coming to the pit for coals, and the sue-- gestion that led him to commit the rash act, which, he averred, took place about mid-day. No remark was made when the dog was thrown down ; but he heard two squeels come up the pit a few moments thereafter. The dog did not strike any part of the railing, but went straight down. When the tub came up the pit the overs man who was in it, said a man was knocked down. At the moment the act was committed, pannel came to witness, and caught him by the shoulder, while tears were running down his cheeks ; but he said nothing whatever. Pannel never said that the dog had escaped out of his hands. Witness knew there were men coining up in the bucket at the time by the signal. The dog was about forty or fifty pounds weight. Witness did not think that the prisoner intended to throw the animal down the pit. dtiemceeasaleld,datotlo‘lzy liso, David Boyd, th e oversman, then deposed that he, the and two o bedndy other.

The water was thrown up to a con siderable height above the tops of the houses. Notwith standing a great number of persons were passing at the time no one received any injury; several, however, were drenched with the water. Fortunately the pipe had been laid in the centre of the street, or much damage must hare resulted to the houses. it will suit his purpose best to have the whole of the money ina• mediately. Tne•e circumstances would appear to place the success of the measure beyond a doubt, and accords with the opinion we gave 011 the first issuing of the notice from the Treasury. It is now known as a fact that the manager of the Notting ham and Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company has been missing since Saturday last, and that even his family are not ay; are what has become of him. From the difficulty of access to the manager, which the Shareholders 4 first com plained of, there were some vague suspicions, but now the fact that he has disappeared is established. . His. accounts have been hastily inspected, and nothing seems yet to have tran spired in any way to affect his integrity, however recent events may have called the accuracy of his judgment into question. b
