4ORNING SUN. SPIRT' r of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. .krif THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATITRDAY. G LOB, I‘,.—Mr. Smythe (if we recollect right), di• some other Tory speaker, lately at Canterbury affirmed, that thee was not a worse paid class in the country than that of the farmers. Here is a class then, protected " with the ut- most rigour of the law " for the last quarter of a centu and for whom this plea ad misericordiam is put in a iter all ! We beg to say, we do not doubt the truth of the Tory statement. The first Committee on Agri- C" iltural distress, after the passing of the Corn-laws, con t Alined evidence that many most respectable farmers, Ahargeable with no imprudence but that of having _trusted to protection, and. allowed their rents to continue screwed up, in the hope of screwed up prices—had been utterly ruined and reduced to breaking stones on the road. This was under the first Corn-law, while import was prohibited under 80s. Agricultural "protection" seems as fatal as " protection "to a seduced female. The first gay Lothario of the land was Prosperity Robinson, who turned the frail one over to Canning, who transferred her to Wellington, from whom the intermediate charge of protection has devolved upon Chandos, by whom, and his tribe, the poor victim is consigned to the cold arms of Peel. How much longer Land is to be "protected," or how soon recommended to repentance and the Magdalen, is a matter for speculation. That this battered toast has not been much the better for protection, seems admitted. The farmers, says a Tory champion, are about the worst-paid class of men in the country. A worser, per haps, is to be found in the class of agricultural labourers. The Wilts Independent reports two . cases which were brought before petty sessions, of farm labourers who had been hired by the year at 6s. per week. We may sup pose these cases below the average rates in their dis trict, but they give an idea of the comfort of agricultural labourers, with bread at high prices. And it appears that as prices have risen, wages have fallen rather than risen along with them. This is precisely what ail ra tional theory would have led us to expect ; but precisely the contrary of what is asserted by those who pretend that artificial prices secure artificial wages for labour. STA Ni)..k D.—Thts C on:AT ;ative party, and more particularly the Conservative press, are at present placed in a position of some difficulty. The reflection that must enable us to get through the embarrassment is this—that it is not one of our own creation, but a case of the common let of all honest men when beset by persons who are the reverse of honest. Whatever the Conservatives may do or say will be tortured, if possible, to their dis advantage : indeed, the ingenuity of our adversaries goes farther, for it founds heavy charges upon silence in some instances, in others invents falsehood to supply matter of accusation. "Why will not Sir Robert Peel explain his plan of government ?" is vociferously inquired on one side. " Sir Robert threatens to make a Conservative of the Queen in six weeks," is slyly whispered on the other. And so the game is kept up. This is no doubt the scheme of vexation which the Morning Chronicle had in prospect when it threatened that Sir Robert Peel's difficulties would be greatly aggravated by the prolonged continuance in office of his predecessors. This, too, as an auxiliary to the love of salary, is no doubt a strong motive for the violation of the Constitution and the insult to Parliament offered by that continuance, now, it is said, to be protracted another month. It is now time to speak a word for ourselves in reference to this perplexity, created by the profli gate dishonesty of Ministers. When changes of the greatest moment are depending, our readers naturally expect from us daily some intimation of the time, the nature, and probable consequences of these changes. Now, generally, we are unable to give any such intima tions, and if we could form confident conjectures in par ticnlar matters, we must feel it a duty to keep such con jectures to ourselves. Whether we should be right or wrong, our speaking at all could be scarcely otherwise than mischievous. The example of the wisest of our leaders teaches us, that it is unsafe to promulgate, per haps as yet to form, any more precise plan of govern ment than the faithful observance of the Constitution in all its cardinal provisions ; to name the future occupants of office more distinctly than by saying that they will be the Conservatives most distinguished by ability and zeal for the Constitution, and most like to reflect honour (which in politics is power) upon their party by „their personal characters. More specific information than this cannot be given without furnishing arms to the enemy— arms which they will well know how to employ. COURIER—Our Contemporaries of The Sun and Chronicle appear in ecstacies of delight at the prospect of the good to be effected by the proposed conference of dis senting ministers of every denomination, which is, we are told, to take place at Manchester on the 17th inst., and at which, we are further assured, upwards of two hundred ministers have already expressed their determination to attend. The Corn-laws and the cause of humanity are to constitute the subject matter of consideration and I debate in this pseudo-religious gathering, from whi c h our Contemporaries expect such mighty beneficial results. Now, for our parts, without at all meaning to question the motives either of the parties with whom the bright scheme originated, or of those who embrace it, we are of opinion, after a mature, and, we trust, an impartial consideration, as well of the means proposed to be em ployed as of the object to be accomplished, that nothing can result from it but pure unmixed mischief. We equally object to the composition and competency of the tribunal, and are firmly persuaded, be their notions of the cause of humanity what they may, that the professed ministers of religion cannot engage, as such, in politi ca l discussions without seriously compromising their charac ters, derogating from their usefulness, and damaging the cause they mean, or Fee tend to promote. Besides, what claims to weight or consideration can such a body put forth for its decisions ? On what grounds, we should like to ow, do these teachers of dissent, and we fear in too many instances preachers of discord, assume to them selves the right of deciding upon grave questions of poli tical economy—questions upon which the wisest and most experienced statesmen may differ—and the tho rough comprehension of which requires the most inti mate acquaintance with statistical details--with the principles that should regulate commercial intercourse between nations, and all those various and conflicting considerations which limit, qualify, and determine their application ? Of all the questions of the day, that which demands the largest measure of comprehension and of knowledge, not only of general principles but of particular facts, for its clear elucidation, i s th e C orn -l aw question. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM SHE MORNING rAncms OF SATURDAY'. TlMES.—Private letters received in the City from Amsterdam describe the plan selected by M. Rochussen, the Minister of Finance, for converting at once the im mense quantity of Dutch Passive Debt, which, although a conversion into Active Stock has been going on for the last twenty-six or twenty-seven years, still amounts to about 870,000,000 florins. Several plans have been offered to the Minister for the desired conversion, and he has now selected the following one, which he has sub mitted to the State Council, where it has been ratified, .so that the Bill which would be required to carry the scheme into operation may already be considered as fit to lay before the Chambers. The plan is that the whole .of the Passive Debt shall be at once converted into a 2i per cent. Stock, to be calculated at 52 per cent., which is about the present rate of the Active. This price is to be reduced by a deduction of compound interest up to the moment when, according to the existing regulations, the conversion into Active Stock would have become due, the interest to be calculated at 4 4-sths per cent., being about the interest to be got by an investment in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, at the present price. This conversion would, it is estimated, augment the Active Two-and-a-Half per Cents, by the amount of 70,000,000 guilders, and the expenditure of an annual interest of 1,700,000 guilders ; while at present 2,500,000 guilders appears yearly in the Budget for cancelling as much Active Stock as arises from the conversion of the Passive, besides c an annual cancelling of Passive Stock at the rate of about per cent. To this plan an objection is raised, not on the ground that it would not be advantageous to the Treasury, but on that of justice and equity. To explain this objec tion reference is made to the history of the Passive Debt. The law of May, 1814, revived two-thirds of the ancient Dutch debt, thus creating the Passive Stock un der the denomination of " Deferred Debt" and " Bills of Chance," and likewise enacted that every year 4,000 " chuice bills" should be selected by lot, and with 4,000,000 guilders of Deferred Debt, be conve r t e d i nto Active Stock this amount being,afterwar l ( B ls lB, altered to s,ooo,ooo.Another law, of February , enacted that, besides this conversion, another 5,000,000 guild ers of Deferred Stock should be bought and cancelled, an enactment which has been rigidly adhered to ; and the Passive Debt, which originally amounted to the nominal sum of about 1,200,000,000 guilders, has been reduced to the present sum of 870,000,000, which, according to the present regulations, would cease to exist in 87 years Returning to Mr. Roehussen's plan, it is rem arked, that while the existing law of 1818 provides for the con version of the whole Passive Stock by the end of 87 years, the Minister has calculated his compound interest, not according to that law, but the old law of 1814, ac cording to which only 4,000,000 of Passive Stock was annually to be converted, so that the conversion would occupy 217 years ; thus putting the holders in the same disadvantageous position as if the law of 1818 had never existed. The conversion being thus against the interest of the holder, it is remarked, that to be effectual it must be rendered obligatory, and this would be attended with the further injustice, that Bondholders would be forced to accept it at the market price, while the nomi na l va l ue of the present stock i s at par. Hence it is argued, that the ingenuity of the scheme is so much counterbalanced by injustice to the holders, that public Oredit in Holland would rather suffer from such a proposition being seri ously entertained, than be advanced by the benefits to be derived by the Treasury. AD VEIITISER.—The foreign exchanges were flat this afternoon; the very unsettled state or the weather hav ing caused so considerable an advance in the market value of Bonded Wheat and an acti•:6 speculative de mand, it is not to be expected kit that remittances to the Continent will increase, end that with them there will be a fall in the rates e'rered for the pound sterling, which if-carried to any great extent, would make it more profitable to ship specie. The Port. Philip settlement seems to have been pro gressing favourably, and the season, from certain at mospheric appearances, would, in the opinion of the natives, prove to be tolerably abundant in rain, so that the drought which periodically occasions such damage to the corn was not expected to be felt there at least. Nevertheless provisions seem dear, bread being 9d. the 21b. loaf, and wheat 4s. to ss. per bushel. Wages were high certainly, but some of the newly arrived immigrants had formed very extravaga n t notions as lo & ON rates current ; a gen tl eman w h o ad vertised f t ' oom , \ fctr 'instance, having received a visit from one modest applicant who demanded " 100/. per annum, , with board and lodging." A very inTnvtant resolution was adopted at a meetin g of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders, held to-day, and which we have ecding pleasure in noticing, viz., the a cceptance of thr for converting* terms proposed by Surra y Rull, Coupons 1 1 1 %mar into a new stock, I bearing 3 per cent. interest, under the understanding, as the Committee state, that every possible effort is to be continued to reduce the mass of debt by the sales of national properties, and to resume the payment of divi dends from the Ist Jan., 1843. This is at it should be. CHRONICLE.—At the special meeting of the Com mittee of Spanish Bondholdors, held this day, the fol lowing resolutionswere passed : " Resolved—That this Committee continue persuaded that even in the present position of Spain she is fully able to allow five per cent. upon the new stock into which the Coupons in arrear are to be converted ; yet consider ing that his Excellency Senor Surra y Rull proposes this arrangement as a means to relieve the Treasury from the embarrassments of the moment, while by pushing his retrenchments and commercial reforms he is preparing to resume the payment of the regular five per cent. inte rest on the whole debt, from the Ist January, 1843, this Committee having great confidence in the honour and good faith of his Excellency, will endeavour to obtain the general acquiescence of the Bondholders in the said temporary arrangement, in the hope and under the un derstanding that every possible effort is to be continued to reduce the mass of debt by the sales of national pro perties, and to resume the payment of dividends from the Ist January, 1843, as aforesaid. " Resolved, That the sentiments and professions of his Excellency Senor Surra y Rull, expressed in his letter of the 28th - June to Mr. Thornton, Chairman of this Committee, and in his speeches in the Spanish Cortes on the 24th June, 22d, 23d, and 24th July, and other occasions, are worthy of the Minister of a great nation ; and that the extract from his Excellency's speech communicated by the Correspondent of the Morn ing Post, under date of the 22d July, from Madrid, be published for the satisfaction of the holders of Spanish Bonds. "By order of the Committee, " THOMAS THORNTON, lion. Sec. " Committee Rooms, Old Swan, Aug. 6, 1841." We are much gratified to perceive that the Committee have at last adopted the line of conduct that we have so constantly advocated. We understand that in the course of next week the Committee will publish a third Report, and we hear that it will contain matter of great interest to the holders of Spanish Securities. POST.—We hear of Joint-stock Banks being under advances to Joint-stock Trading Companies to large amounts—ompanies, the success of which, in some in stances, would appear to be very questionable. The secu rity given may be thought commensurate with the risk, but whether it be so or not is a point that can only be ascertained when some crisis or other shall arise to put the matter to the test. To us it seems highly injudicious to be staking the capital of banks upon the prosperity of any undertaking that may be interfered with by compe tition and ntunerous other contingent circumstances, nor do we think this could very well be done, did it not hap pen, unfortunately. for the inconsiderate shareholders who embark their properties in interests subject to the control of they know not whom, that the leading and influential Directors of the one thing are frequently the leading and influential Directors of another. It is in manufacturing districts such as Lancashire and York shire, and in great speculative communities like those of London and Liverpool, that the greatest injury is to be apprehended from the reckless combination of banks and speculators, and the corrupt influences of Directors and Managers of Joint-stock Companies. IRELAND. KING'S COUNTY.-DUBLIN, AUG. 5. CHARGE OF SHOOTING AT MR. BIDDULPH. TuLLAmonE, TIIESDAY.—This day having been fixed for the trial of Michael Colgan and Michael Doherty, for shooting at Francis Marsh Biddulph, Esq., with in tent to murder him, the Court was crowded from an earlyhour by the country people, who seemed to take a deepinterest in the result. It will be remembered that this case was tried before at the last Assizes, when the Jury were discharged with out coming to a verdict, and public attention was drawn to it in more than an ordinary degree from it being made the subject of debate in the House of Lords, where Lord Charleville impugned the construction of the Jury who tried it, and cast imputations on the Government for having abandoned the old custom of challenge. All these circumstances tended to increase the interest excited by the case altogether, and particularly as regards the re sult of the trial. When the prisoners were arraigned, the grand panel was called over, and 154 appearances having been en tered by the Clerk of the Crown, several Jurors were challenged on behalf of the prisoners. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case. Mr. Biddulph was then examined—He said he resided at Rathrobin, in the King's County. Recollected the morning of the 25th of September. Proceeded on that day to land, which he had got recently through a civil bill decree. He went out of the gate, and he met a man named Middleton. He proceeded along the road with me towards Mountbolus for about two hundred yards. When we came to a particular part of the hedge, which was lower than the rest, he called after me, and said he had another word to say to me ; and, upon turning round with my face towards the ditch, a gun was fired at me. There were two marks with swan drops, but I was not cut. One entered, and another tore my skin. My mare then ran back towards Michael Guy's house, and I told a woman, named Guy, that I was shot, and I then gallopped instantly back towards the place where the shot was fired. When I went as far as Denis Con way's house I met a woman, named Honor Lynch ; she pointed to where a man was running in the field, and I rode into Conway's lawn, where there was a staked gap, and the people not having opened it for me, I forced my mare out over a stone wall at the end of the house, and, on getting into the field, I saw a man running in a stub ble-field. I followed him, and overtook him where he was with others at a harrow. COURT-Did you know him ? Witness, in continuation—l did know him. I went from that to the meadow of Ballyellen, and then went home. In about three weeks after, I, in consequence of information received, found a gun in Clane plantation ; the lock of the gun was down, and the hammer half up. It had the appearance of having been recently discharged. It had no ramrod. I know Doherty. He had been in my employment, out of which I turned him about two months before this transaction. Honor Lynch was the next witness examined—l was at home between nine and ten o'clock ; heard a shot fired ; I saw the shot fired out of the plantation ; Mr. Biddulph and John Middleton were on the road at the time ; they were beside each other ; his horse gallopped back towards Rathrobin when the shot was fired • I fol lowed Mr. 8., when I saw a man cross the ro a d with a gun ; he wore whiteish trousers, a blue coat, and black hat ; he went towards Luggamarlaw ; he cro sse d th e road near Denis Conway's ; I found a piece of black stuff near the spot where the shot was fired. Honor Fury identifiQd the prisoners as the persons who fired the shot ' • but, on her cross-examin a ti on , s h e broke down, for she admitted having sworn before a Magistrate that she believed Doherty was not one of the men. Two witnesses swore that they met Colgan near the place at which Mr. Biddulph was assailed on the morning of the occurrence ; and a Magistrate deposed that Colgan denied having been at the place at all. Jane Biddulph examined—Saw a man leap over the demesne wall in a few minutes after the shot was fired. Was not able to see liis features. He wore a frieze coat and trousers. Did not know who the man was. Mary Biddulph examined—DeposaFthatshe heard the shot fired, and having run out, she saw a man run through the lawn towards the plantation, with a long gun in his hand. He wore a grey frieze body coat, light coloured smallclothes ' and blue stockings, but sh e did not know him. She followed him across the lawn, but he turned round and pointed the gun at her. I saw Paddy Colgan on the road afterwards. By Mr. MURPHY--•I did not mention the name of Col gan at the last trial. Caroline Biddulph examined—Saw a man on the lawn with a gun in his hand. Thinks it was Doherty, but would not positively swear to him. By Mr. GORMAN—I knew Doherty before, as he v; as in my brother's employment. Elizabeth Biddulph was next examined, and identified the prisoner Doherty as the person that wtr; se n run ning across the lawn with the gun in his hand, Saw hi m leap the ditch. Was just beside him, and i .l - bught he had whiskers, but it was a black stocking ':,nat was up about his face. Knew him when she saw V him the next morn ing. Knew thatit was false wh...skers he had. Mr. GOR3IAN—Oh ! Miss come to k now i t was false Biddulph, when did y ou whiskers the man had ?—I knew it at the last trial. kers ?-1 mentioned . .

TO NON-ELECTORS. HOW TO GAIN A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH OUT INTIMIDATION . Every Reformer who is excluded from the list o f voters, and does not possess the necessary q u alificati ons to get his name on the register, may as effectually cont • 'mite to the return of a Reform Candidate as if h e had a contri bute for himself, and that vote was protected fr om inti midation by the ballot, if he will examine the li st of voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer at all reasonable hours, any day before the 15th o f August, and make a note of the name and address of any Tory that appears on the register and is not i n every way qualified. He should immediately forward the information, with ground of objection, to somo active Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will be excluded from the registeri the onus of proof lying entirely with the person objected to. Thus the Tory vote struck off will be one gained to tho cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more so, than a vote given by the informant under the protec tion of the ballot. Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from the franchise, and thoso who have been compelled to sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the most shame ful as well as shameless intimidation, will avenge them selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote their private interest compelled them to give against their own honest conviction.

SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF THE TIMES. (FROM A LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.) There has been a great assemblage of the workpeople out of employment at the works and colleries near Wrexham. , Upwards of 1,500 Made their appearance at the above town on Wednesday, to demand from the Ma gistrates employment or food. One or two Reform Ma gistrates met them, spoke commiseratingly of their con dition, and promised to assemble the general body of Magistrates on Saturday to discuss what could be done for their relief. On this promise the people dispersed, with the understanding that they were to assemble again on Saturday (this day), to learn what the Magistrates determine upon. In the meantime numerous parties are ranging the country, calling at the farm-houses to ask for bread, and do not fail especially to visit those per sons who were conspicuous supporters of the Monopoly Candidates at the recent election. (From the Gateshead Observer, Aug. 7.) THE DISTRESSED WORKMEN OF NEWCASTLE.—Cu mous CORRESPONDENCE.—A meeting of the Committee for conducting the subscription for the unemployed ope ratives of Newcastle was held in the Council-room, in the Guildhall, on Thursday morning last (the Mayor in the chair.) Amongst the Committee present were Ald. Losh, Councillors Straker, Robinson, and Burrell, and Messrs. W. Chapman, J. Grote, Bargate, J. Pollard, Greenhow, Hotham, Scarlett, Brockett, Harle, &c. The Treasurer reported that the subscription list amounted to 343/. 10s. id., and that the payments to workmen em ployed in draining the ditches of the race course and levelling the banks amounted to upwards of 90/. ; that the average number employed were about 200 per day, besides about 50 employed by the Corporation and paid by them. The treasurer, Mr. Robinson, said that, ac cording to the instructions of the Committee, he had forwarded to the Sheriffs of Newcastle and Northumber land copies of the subscription list, with a request that they might be laid on the tables of the respective Grand jury -rooms. From the High Sheriff of Northumberland he had received an unfavourable reply ; but the Com mittee would understand the matter best by having the correspondence read. Mr. Robinson then read the let ters, as follow : Newcastle, July 30, 1641. Sir,—By direction of the Committee for conducting the subscription in favour of the unemployed workmen, I have the honour to enclose a list of subscribers, and most respectfully to request you will have the kindness to allow the list to be placed on the table of the Grand Jury-room during the assizes. I beg leave to state, that the number of men employed in draining the Town Moor have increased from 52 on the first day, to 285 to-day ; they are paid one shilling per day, with the addition of one penny roll every morn ing. The relief, though so very small, I and happy to say, is thankfully received by the men. The Committee have determined to give relief only through th 9 medium of employment, and in no case to give money. I have the honour to be, Yours respectfully, ROBERT ROBINSON, Treasurer. To Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., High Sheriff of Northumberland. Queen's Head, July 30, 1841. Sir,—l have received your communication under di rection of the Committee for conducting the subscription in favour of unemployed workmen on the Town Moor. I cannot conceive on what grounds the inhabitants of Newcastle can expect the county to contribute to a fund for draining the Town Moor, which is the property of the town. I have other grounds of objection, but this already adduced must prevent my complying with your request to lay the subscription list on the table of the Grand Jury-room, and thereby add my own recommen dation of the matter to their favourable consideration. I may further add, that the Sheriff was not the party to whom this application, as pertaining to the Grand Jury should have been forwarded, nor was it forwarded at a proper time, or in a proper manner. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, MATTHEW W. RIDLEY; Sheriff. Robert Robinson, Esq., &c. &c. , 31, Side, Newcastle, Jul); 31st, 1841. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of to-day. I think you have; in a great degree misunderstood the nature of the communicationl forwarded to you yesterday. Not much accustomed to official forms, I sent the list, supposing it would be laid on'the table of the Grand Jury room ati a matter of course. In regard to the distress existing in this town and vicinity being exclusively alleviated by the inhabitants, I may state, that the liberal contributions of the Duke of Northumberland, the Bishop of Durham, and many others, to the fund for relieving the unemployed work men, show that sympathy with the suffering poor is happily not confined within the limits of Newcastle. If 1 have erred in not forwarding the list " to the proper party, nor at the proper 'time, or in a p ro p er manner," I must say I regret it exceedingly, but feel conscious that as I did it in -my simplicity, and in the discharge of a public duty, I do think you might have spared the somewhat offensive remarks on the humble in dividual who has now the honour of addressing you. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, ROBT. ROBINSON. To Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., High Sheriff of Northumberland. _ _ _ Mr. BROCKETT moved that " the thanks of this meet ing be given to Mr. Robinson, for the mode in which he has conducted the correspondence with Sir M. W. Rid ley, and that the letters now read be entered on the mi nutes of the Committee. Mr. STRAKER seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. STRAKER, who has attended daily on the moor, stated that the men had conducted themselves well, and had worked cheerfully, even for the small wages they re ceived. The meeting was then adjourned until Thursday next. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY MORNING.—The General Committee held its last meeting yesterday morning at the Royal Hotel; Professor Whewell, President, in the chair. The officers of the Association were elected for the next year. A considerable addition was made to the members of the Council, of whom twenty-five were appointed, the great majority residing in London. The recommendations of grants to the different Sectional Committees amounted to 3,0831. 9s. Bd., and it was re solved that an application be made to Government for a grant of money in order to reduce the hourly observa tions on the temperature made at Plymouth at the ex pense of the Association. Colonel SYKES recommended to the Council in future to admit children to the benefits of the Association on the same terms as ladies' tickets. EVENING MEETING.—The concluding general meet ing was held yesterday evening at the Town-hall, Devon. port ; Professor Whewell, President, in the chair. The meeting was but thinly attendiA, Mr. John Taylor, the President, read the Report of the financial state of the Association. He stated that its assets and avaihlble property was 6,955/. 9s. 9d. There had been received in the town 1,280/., and 637 tickets had been issued. Dr. Robinson, of Armagh, proposed, and the Earl of Morley seconded, a vote of thanks to the distinguished foreigners who had visited the town, which was responded to by M. Quetelets, who regularly attends these meetings at the expense of the Belgian Government. Various other resolutions were passed, after which the meeting adjourned till next clay. The general flat ness of the sections was a matter of great complaint, there being at them but few papers of any considerable interest. The model-room of the dock-yard will be visited to-day, and a distinguished party is expected. The Plymouth Yacht Club gave a regatta yesterday, in czmamemoration of the visit of the Association. A great many of the Members have left town to attend the pro ceedings of the Royal Polytechnic Society of Cornwall. an unostentatious institution of great utility, • UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. — The Rev.

PORTSEA, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The dinner of last night, given by the inhabitants of Portsmouth to Admiral Stop ford, was followed to-night by a dinner of a different character, given by the officers of the Royal Navy and Marines resident in Portsmouth and the vicinity, in com pliment to Sir Robert Stopford for his distinguished set- 7 vices during a long professional life, and more particu= larly for his recent brilliant exploits in Syria. The dinner was held at the Beneficial Society's Room at Portsea, at seven o'clock this evening, and was strictly confined to the profession and a few invited guests. The room, the largest in Portsmouth, was filled with a bril liant company, many of whom wore their well-deserved decorations, and the gallery accommodated about 200 ladies. The room was beautifully decorated with wreaths and garlands of laurel, and a variety of banners and transparencies referring to Admiral Stopford's various services—in Duckworth's action, at Copenhagen, the Basque Roads, Java, Gibraltar, Rodney's action, Howe's action, Cornwallis's retreat, &c., crowned by a large ban ner bearing the inscription, " Glorious achievements on the coast of Syria," and " Acre." Admiral Sir Edward Codrington presided in the chair. On his right hand was the distinguished guest Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, G.C.B. ; Sir E. Hayes, Bart.•, Capt. Sir F. Austin, Col. Daly, Capt. Sir T. Hastings, Captain Loch ; and on his left, General Sir Hercules Pakenham, Win. Jones, Esq., Mayor of Portsmouth •, Capt. Lord A. Fitzclarence, Col. Johnstone, Admiral Hill, Capt. Chads, Admiral Sir C. Bullen, &c. Admiral Bouverie and Dr. Quarrier officiated as Vice-Chairmen, and the dinner and all its appointments were of the most recherche description. After the cloth was removed, and grace said, Sir E. CODRINGTON rose and said that it was needless, in so loyal a company as he saw around him, to say that the first toast would be the health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen.—(Cheers.) It became him, how ever, to add—what all present were, no do u bt, aware o f —that her Majesty combined in her character the firm ness and dignity of the Queen, with the gentleness, the tenderness, and the affection of the woman.—(Cheers.) He had the greatest pleasure in proposing to them " The health of her Majesty the Queen." The toast was drunk with great enthusiam, and fol lowed by the National Anthem. The next toast from the Chair was " The Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal," which was drunk with equal enthusiasm with the preceding one. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The health of the Queen Dowager," and strongly expressed the desire ever evinced by hr Majesty not to be identified with any political party in the country.—(Cheers.) The next toast was " His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury and the. Church of England."—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Lord Hill and the Army."—(Cheers.) Lieutenant-General Sir HERCULES PAKENHAM, K. C. 8., returned thanks. Sir HERCULES PAKENHAM, in proposing the toast of "Lord Minto, the Navy, and Marines," gave to the navy of England the pre-eminence to which it is so justly en titled ; and observed that he knew no difference between national extinction and our being left to poke our way as a second rate power among the mightier nations of Europe. Sir E. CODRINGTON returned thanks on behalf of the navy. He said that that service and the marines were so well united at present in a professional point of view, that it was impossible, let them go where they would, or on whatever service, that they could ever fail to con quer.—(Cheers.) Col. WAnKna returned thanks on the part of the ma rines, and said they had ever done, and ever would do, their duty.—(Cheers) The CHAIRMAN then rose and said— , -We have now ar rived at that toast which forms the main object of the meeting—the health of our? Gallant Vriend 'and, Guest, Sir Robert Stopf or d.—(LOnd cheers.). Gentlemen, have found great difficulty in giving my Sentiments on the subject of Sir Robert Stopford on former occasions, because I felt too much upon the subject ; and it has led me into a certain degree of censure for omissions. I cer tainly did make omissions, for I did not pretend to set forth all the merits of Sir Robert Stopford, because I well knew they were known throughout the whole' liaVy of this country.—(G rea t cheering,) On the present oc casion, though—l won't say trouble—but the pleasure of attempting to do so, is saved me by the exertions of the Committee, in recording his services on the st a r over his head.,---(Cheers.) To these I will refer you without going into the detail. I did SO on former occasions. But there was one omission there which I must rectify. I did not mean to touch on the affair of Acre, for I knew my Orallant Friend, when called upon, would give his' own account of it, which would undoubtedly be ten times more welcome to you than anything which I could say. I did not touch on the point of my early services with Sir R. Stopford, where he taught me discipline, and the advan. tages arising from discipline, th'e object of which Is to do justice to every man, and to give every man only his own duty to perform, and do retire.—(Cheers.) Th e re are those in our service, as well as many not in our service, who think that the duties of the service can be ettriled otl mid that everything can be done within and about a ship without sufficient discipline: Mit if 1106 be lib punishment, there will be no ilistitAilley and the Cons equence would be that the bad men would skulk from their duty,..and the good men would have to do the duty of others as well as their own. On the discussion of this matter in the House of Commons I ventured to say what, ,doubt not the whole navy *lll jkistify file in ; ilia it two ships were to he put bite, Commission, in one avow edly the crew to receive no punishment, and in the other they were to receive punishment, but with strict justice, that the good men would prefer the latter to al the former, That is a lesso n w hi c h I learned in ally days frdiii illy Gallant Friend ; and the experience of a long life has enabled the to say it is right and just ; and it is one which I would recommend to my junior officers to put into practice. To show the advantage arising from and also to rectify the omission I referred to, I ought to have mentioned the action of my Gallant Friend at this meeting, in carrying his ship out of the range of the combined ships, his crew all the time obeying his orders. —(Loud cheers.) This alone shows how important it is to keep up that distiplint which alone can enable the good to do their duty, and which enforces their duty on the bad, who would otherwise be unworthy to perform it ; and depend upon it a small number of ships iti that state of discipline would be able to etietiiiiitcr doable their number if not in it state of discipline.—(llear, hear.) This Is tt lotion which was also enforced upon my attention by another eminent character--I mean Lord Howe—(Loud cheers)—whose instructiOns to hie were, "If you have discipline, every man does his duty as he ought, and knows what his duty is S and under shell circumstances the greatet' the ditkillty you have to en counter the greater the advantages you have in battle. In such a state of discipline the greater difficulties you can place your ship under in battle the more sure you are of success."—(Cheers.) There is another point to which I would wish to call the attention of the junior officers present, ever to consider honour as their leading star ; and in this respect I will point to Sir R o b e rt Stop= ford as a b r i g ht example. No man who knows my Gallant Friend, but must be aware that hi no one act of his life, in none of his services ) has he ever been guided by a mercenary motive, or by A mean disposition----that honour hits truly been his leading star—that it has directed him throughout the whole. course of his services, and has thus led to that high estimation which we, in common with the whole country, entertain for him.—(Great applause) My feelings, gentlemen, towards my Gallant Friend are so strong, that I cannot, I fear, express myself satis factorily but you will make some allowance AO an at tachment which commenced as the back as 1789, and which has tOntiiitted ) Without intermission, to the pre sent titne--.410 attachment based upon esteem, an esteem whit.t has continually increased. In conclusion I beg to propose to you, " Health, prosperity, and comfort for the rest of his life to Sir Robert Stopford." The toast Was drunk with the mot enthusiastic ap plause. i ow S s i i r h ß a . vi Zo i3 P e to h nTh itih i ci p 4 fe , e t,ti lie t o n i i e n a t o th il at i t s t it ;P i n d it ada,sal,feosls the, COMpany :-Gehtiemen, if the feelings of my Gallant Friend on my left were so eloquently overcome, as you have just seen they were, in proposing in l y health, I leave you to judge what my uwtk that most beatititnitAkir*iikai ,Whith lie was kind enough • pronnwiteft ttfll - A nty Charaeter.—(Cheers:) But; gen tlemen, finding myself here OnCp mOre.at thq., vad both of the starboard and litteitiii itt - -4 Cheers and laegitter')A feel hiysblt renovated altogether, and re ,)olee to had myself in this position.—(Cheers.)

My Gallant Friend ; the worthy Admiral in the Chair, has been kind enough td i2.hisi#,i've that he continued his naval career Witter my auspices, and that from me he tem* very many good things; but, Gentlemen, if it was 1 who was so fortunate as to sow the good seed in the mind of my Gallant and non. Friend, I rejoice to be enabled to say that that good seed has not stopped there without producin , , fruit—(Hear, hear)—beca use I b e li eve that there is in this company a worthy scion of the same stock who has served me in the course of my recent operations—(Cheers) —who on no single occasion failed to evince the most promising skill and ability —who was of much use to me in buoying out the channels 'of the fleet at Acre, placing his own ship in that situation in which, if her guns were not so loud as many others, they made at least as deep and fatal an impression upon the works of the eneiny.—(Cheers.) I hope that my gallant young friend is near me at the present moment, and that he hears me when I say that I only do him that justice which is due to him when I make these remarks.— (Cheers.) I will not attempt to speak without referring to notes for the accuracy of what I am saying ; but in referring to the circumstances of the important business, or, I should rather say, the glorious achievements at St. Jean d'Aere—(Loud cheers)—and the irksome duties, for such you well know they in reality were—connected with those events, I cannot but look to my Gallant Friend on my right, Sir Thomas Hastings—(Cheers)—whose . system of gunnery, followed up as it was, by so much active zeal and ability, was so effective, that if the great fortress of Acre had been ten times as strong as it was, it must eventually have yielded to its powerful attacks. —(Loud cheers.) I cannot help naming on the present occasion my gallant and scientific friend SA* toward. Douglas—(Cheers)—who first introduced that system )f gunnery into the service which has been so ably pursued by Sir Thomas Hastings. Gentlemen, there is one name which, when speaking upon the events on which I am now addressing you, I have ever hitherto forgotten to refer. I mean the name of Capt. Fisher of the Asia— (Cheeri)— who, when stationed off Alexandria, p@rformed most efficient services, keeping a very large force in check with a very small one, and, when puzzled with orders from Constantinople, which were almost always wrong— acting so judiciously upon every occasion that, if he had not so decided to act, we should have assuredly been plunged into a war with France.—(Cheers.) I cannot but refer also at this moment to the a s s istance I rc _ _ ceived from the gallant son of the Archduke Charles of AuStria, as well as to the services of Admiral Wal ker—whom I myself selected for the purpose of placing him with the Turkish Admiral and the Turkish fleet, a s'euation in which his conduct has been so conspicuously good, that he has gained the applause of the Turkish Admiral, which is no easy matter, and has since been himself saluted as an Admiral in that very ship of which he was himself the Captain but two years before.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have already taken occasion to mention the services of the marine corps.—(Hear, hear.) I will repeat here, that the services of the marines in the late operations were most effective .throughout.— (Cheers.) I have ever forwarded their claims to the Admiralty, and I still hope that when I shall have explained matters further to that Board; they will, though they have hitherto drawn a line in that respect, be induced to depart from it, with regard to the claims of those officers who were not included in the last brevet. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you may form some opinion of their services when I tell 'you that we were ordered to expel and defeat_ 70,000 men under the command of a very distinguished soldier, Ibrahim Pacha.—(Cheers.) The fire of our steamers, gentlemen, in effecting this ob ject, reached so far into the enemy's country, that it ren dered it impossible for them to attempt to approach near the coast—(Hear, hear)—until at length Ibrahim him self was heard to say—" What, what can I do against these steamers, which make greater progress in two hours, than I can do in two days ?"—(Loud cheers.) The consequence was, that very soon afterwards, when ever the enemy were seen, they could make no stand whatever against us—for nothing could stand against our fire—(Cheers)---and there is no doubt whatever that, at the bombardment of Acre, if that magnificent explosion had not taken place, the enemy must ; in two or three days at the farthest, have hung out a flag of surrender— (Hear, hear, hear)--for their fortress was so shattered that not a man among them could stand to his gun. —(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I will say, then, after the suitable harangue of my friend 'Sir E. Codrington to the junior officers who .may be present here, I will only say to them, "guns, guns, gems,. and nothing but guns" —(Loud cheering)—for without guns you may as well stay in a harbour at home.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am most gratified, I assure you, at the manner in which you, my brother officers, have received me— (Cheers)—as well as by the kind and gracious and liberal manner in which I have also been received by the towns-- people of Portsmouth.—(Cheers.) I return you my sin cerest thanks, and I fervently hope that I never shall see any of you with wooden legs and arms—(Cheers and laughter)r e 4-but if I should do so, you may depend upon it that it shall ever be my endeavour to give you the best berths it 'Will be in my power to bestow.—(Cheers and laughter.) There is one subject more which I must mention before I sit down. In the present public state of affairs in the present state of public men, I cannot be accused of adulation by saying that to Lord Minto and the Admiralty, I am indebted for the most efficient sup pore that ever Admiral obtained in ships, in steamers, and- in marines; and I gladly avail myself of this oppor tunity of bearing this public testimony to the fact.— (The Gallant Admiral's speech was received with three rounds of cheers.) • ,• Capt. Sir T. HASTINGS rose to proposeAhe'nexteoast„ - Which was, " Sir C. Napier, tlie Captains ; Officers', 'Sea 'men, and Marinese . who so nobly supperted 'the -ein matider‘ite:chi4 04,111 e wriest of Syria." fle expressed : his gratification,iartheconapliment which had been paid to him by the tirStinguished Admiral who had preceded him. When he was first appointed to the post he now held, the appointment was unsolicited, and doubting his own qualifications, he stipulated that he should be per tfliile resign at the end of the year, provided that impression on his own mind continued. He was, how ever, gratified to find that he could continue his duties with satisfaction to the authorities. Sir Howard Douglas's excellent boele had introduced this system into the navy, and in his endeavours to carry its principles into practice, he had the ho nour when much doubt and some discouragement prevailed, to be twice personally stimulated by the ad vice and approbation of his late Meet Excellent Majesty, who took the deepest interest in the service to which they had the honour to belong.—(Great cheering.) But to turn from himself to the toast before them, they would permit him to make one or two remarks with reference to their services on the coast of Syria,_ and the crown ing exploit sit Acre. It would not be forgotten that, in the olden time,.this was the scene of the exploits of the warlike Richard against the celebrated Saladin —exploits which at that time won for England a re nown which gave her a high rank amongst the military States of Europe,—(Hear. In more recent times it was the scene of the exploits of t one not inferior toltichard, anti who himself walked upon the ramparts of Acre, to draw from the enemy a fire upon the strong part of the defences, and to withdraw it from the weaker part. This was the feat of Sir S. Smith. But he might also allude to the Gallant Major Oldfleld, of the Royal Marines, whose gplantrx in :various encounters had partic u l a rly attracted the admiration of tile Preneh themselves. In repelling an attack of the French upon a breat4l he was mortally wounded, and one of the fiercest and most cA traordinary conflicts took place for possession of the *derided body of the gallant soldier who commanded the admiration of' his !tell and the admiration of his ene mies. The body of the distinguished Major was at length carried off by the French, who buried him with tokens of respect and with military honours.—(Cheers.) These Were feats of arms which had gilded the renown of Great nritain in Syria—but in comparison with these, even the achievements of Sir' Chas, Napier and and the officers com manding theßoyal Marines, and of the marines themselves, would be found to be as brilliant, and to have sustained with even increased lustrue the ancient and modern re nown of Britain In the East.—(Loud cheers.) Along with the actions he had alluded to, they would be re corded in the page of history, and the reputation of the Oleg rtialiiies of the present day, would descend to posterity in conjunction, and undionned by comparison with the most brilliant feats of arms which had ever dis tinguished the heroes of Great Britain.—(Applause.) The distinguished Adult/111 had remarked how much he owed to union and discipline but it was worthy of re mark; and teeel evynts had proved it, that union fliiiSt lie ddrlidiite beftifd its adfantages could be ob tained, and then the battle was seldom won ell the day of battle itself. He had always felt it to be of the deepest importance that the body formed by the navy and Marines should he die lrt.spirit told in action. The re suits such ti union lied been eithiblted In Syria ; and hereafter, when the navy and marines of Engiand were placed in similar difficulties, and had to contend against unequal odds ) they would remember Syria from Acre ; mid he was inspired with new vigour by remember ing how the ninny had still before the .few.—(Loud and pfotritcted cheering:) War for its own sake was to be abeminated, but the love of country and the defence of our country hallowed it, arid it must ever be a gratifying recollection that the recent war in Syria was undertaken for no selfish purpose of ag grandisement, but for the necessary defence of our national position, arid in roznotion of that career of civilization of which the flat of Gteat Britain was ever the forerunner.—(Cheers.) whenever the tOuritty should again call for similar exertions, the names Of Stopford and Napier, and the remembrance of the past glories of the' fiArines, would inspire our seamen and troops With new Motive§ to exertion, and he felt assured they would never disgrace the flag on which so much additional glory had recently been conferred.--(Cheers,) Captain AUSTIN, late of the Bellerophon, returned theeke,. and geld how greatly his brother officers and himself' had eeee been supported by the Gallant Chief under whose command they bad served, and whom theY all so highly honoured.—(Cheers.) Admiral nOuVkitit proposed the healths of Sir Chas. Felix Smith and the Officers of the Royal Artillery and Engineers, He expressed his regret at the Of Ole Smith at the time he would have eeaped sti much glory ; but he was gratified to find that Admiral Stop . f i eio had found so able a successor for the caifSe Charles ilapier, whose absence on the pre sent festiVity he could_ not help regretting.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A NEW MODE OF EXTORTING MONEY.—Mr. Ash urst, solicitor, of Cheapside, appeared before the Lorin MAYOR and Sir P. LAURIE. for the purpose of making a representation of a new way of raising the wind He was apprehensive, he said, that he could not be supplied by the Magistrates with an immediate remedy for the evil of which he had to complain upon the part of his clients, Messrs. Tarsey and Milgate, wholesale warehousemen in the city. The publicity, however, which he knew would be given to the particulars would in all probability enable othrs in trade to protect themselves as well .as to punish the aggressors. The LORD MAYOR and Sir P. LAURIE said it :could give them very great satisfaction to render service •to their fellow-citizens in every possible way. Mr. Ashurst then said that on Friday night a man, whose name was unknown, walked into. the counting , house of his clients and asked whether any one of the principals of the firm was within. The reply was that Mr. Tarsey was to be seen, and the man was forthwith introduced to that .gentleman in his office. " Have I the honour," said the visitor, " to address Mr. Tarsey ?" Upon being informed 'id- the affirmative he continued, " Are you aware Mr. Tarseys:that you have made your self liable to heavy penalties by giving receipts in seve ral instances on unstamped paper ?" " Nocal..replied Mr. Tarsey, " I am not aware of anything of - ,the kind." The visitor, who had a large bundle of papers in his hand, then stated that Mr. Tarsey laboured under mistake, for in the mass of papers which met the eye, and ;vhich consisted of unstamped receipts, were five of Tarsey's, one of which purported to be the receipt of Mr. Edward Roberts, a linen draper, for 201., which had been settled without a regularly sanctioned and legal re ceipt; and as it would be probably more agreeable to the Arm to pay 10/. than 501. or 601., to which the penalties of the infraction of the Act would amount, why the mat ter could be arranged. Mr. Tarsey said he would pay no such money; but being anxious to get one of the receipts into his hands, for the purpose of enabling him to expose or prosecute, if necessary, he consented to accept the offer of one of them for the sum of 21., which he ac cordingly paid, and was put in possession of the receipt. The LORD MAYOR—Ama did he not give the fellow into custody ? Mr. Ashurst replied that Mr. •Tarsey did not suppose there were sufficient grounds for acctissation, and allowed the individual to escape for the time. The LORD MAron—l hope that such an extortioner will not be permitted to do these things th impunity. He ought to have been brought before me at : ince. Here is a clear case of extortion. Sir PETER—Most decidedly. We should have very little hesitation in dealing with such a person, and I hoc! 4 we shall see him here. Mr..Tarsey urged him to give his name, but be said, o, ago ; you shall have no name." . T,h4oar. MAYOR—But it was very easy to call in a policeman, and give the fellow and all his receipts int 6 custody'. Mr. Ashurst said it.' was ascertained that the same r.S person called with a similatOry at' the warehouse of Messrs. Leaf, Smith, and Jones-,syho refused to make any purchase of the receipts' , whitli' lie said he possessed of that firm, or to have anything atcall to do with him ; and it appeared that Mr. E. Roberts ought to have handed over the possession of allthese papers to his trustees. He (Mr. Ashurst), however, did not say that Mr. Edwards Roberts joined the stranger in making a base use of the documents. It was quite impossible to say by what means he, who carried about with him the papers for such a purpose, obtained possession of them, and Mr. Tarsey considered it to be better in the hands of Govern ment than in those of a gang of extortioners. In all pro bability the fellow would continue to take his rounds amongst the London tradesmen until he should see the account of the application first made. The LORD MAYOR—Did he use any threats to the se cond house he endeavoured to impose upon ? Mr. .Ashurst said, that upon finding his proposition unsuccessful at Messrs. Lea, Smith, and Jones, lie assured them that if they did not pay into the hands of Mr. Monckton, of Surrey-street, a certain sum of money, the case should be put into the hands of her Majesty's At torney-General, who would sue for all the penalties. He (Mr. Ashurst) had been informed that several advertise ments had appeared in the Times newspaper of late, on the subject of unstamped receipts, calling the attention of any person who may be possessed of any to the fact that they cotild be turned to the advantage of the holders. Sir P. LAURIE asked whether it was the custom of the house which Mr. Ashurst represented to give receipts of the kind described ? Mr. Tarsey said that his house always gave receipts when accounts were closed, and it was quite impossible for any but men in business to con jecture what great inconvenience resulted from the obli gation to give reeeipts for small sums in the infinity of transactions which took place in an extensive business. Sir P. LAURIE—Theh you ought to have had these papers back ? Mr. Tarsey--Most certainly. Mr. Ro berts ought to have given them up. Sir P. LAtinig—l pay my coachman and groom, and enter the sums in a book, which I dare say might be used by a fellow of this description as unstamped re ceipts. Mr. Ashurst—Exactly so. It is frequently the case that the retail - dealers would prefer memorandums of this kind to numberless receipts. The Government cannot be aware of the insignificance of the productive- j ness of such a source of revenue compared with the in- I convenience to which it subjects men of business. The LORD MAYOR said it would 'give him great plea sure indeed to adjudicate in such a case as Mr. Ashurst had detailed. However, as the extortioner was not in custody, all that could he done would be through the medium of the public press to stop his progress, and lie trusted that some warehouseman, upon whom an attempt to plunder might be made, would seize upon the impos tor, and all his papers and books, and introduce him to to the Justice-room.. Two young men, named George Thompson and Robert Hill, the latter of whom is a mere boy, were brought up charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with a gang of thieves, whose practice it is to send the younger branches of the profession into premises with bags, to be need in secreting any portable property that might be lying Amt. Mr. Hobler, jun,, who attended for the prosecution, stated that on Friday the premises of Messrs. Caldecot, of Cheapside, were robbed of some pieces of linen, no doubt through the means of a boy and a bag ; and this morning in walked Hill with a bag, while Thompson remained outside evidently watching for the boy. The shopmen were of course observing the movements of both, and as they accounted in a very lame manner for themselves, they were given into the custody of the po lice.—They were remanded till Monday. BOW-STREET. Jahn Wightman, a very respectably-dressed old man, was pi ae 4 before Mr. Twyford, charged with obstruct ing police-ofileZT 30 , F division,in the execution of his duty. The policeman stated that he was passing through Covent Garden on Saturday, and he saw a van standing in the street and a great quantity of rubbish and cabbage leaves strewed d b ant , Ir e went up to the door opposite to which the vat was stand ing, and called out to tfie defejaiit who was there, and told him to remove the rebbish. The prisoner said he should not more it as he had /Kit plaCs'd it there, and had nothing to do with it. The ponce man then said if he did not remove it he should be compallod to take him to th a station-house. The prisoner said he would dare him to take him to the station-house, as he had committed no offence, and on the officer going up to him he said " he was a d-d scoundrel, and did not know his duty, and he would re port his conduct to Col. Rowan, in Scotland-yard. The witness took the prisoner into custody, and he resisted him all the way to the station-house. 71,1 , is being the complaint, the prisoner was asked what he had to say,. He said he was loading some peas of his own in the van, but the van did not belong to him, nor h ße im, ste a n n i d e d sa u id sin li g e l a i n a ) d , did he place the zibbislih t e e r d e. to Welt language as that attr...? tc viitfieSs Who saw the transaction:, and who would prove that oiiicer was ito§t - violent in Mb conduct towards hini. The witness stepped fo'rWarci and said the van be longed to his ,master, who if& the habit of carting vmetables for the defendant. ifu Orroborated what f&1 44,1Yclawrft pleaded in his defence, and ateged that on the prisofief letlitinp,to go to the station-hotive the wl officer seized him vetifl7 by ,the handkerchief, stud the witness cried out, 7"n don't mind you will strangle the man," and the offices' made the usual reply, " that if he did not &AO his tongue he would take him also into custody." TIN? , or three words passed between the defendant and the officer that he did not hear, but he did not believe the defendant called the officer a " damned scoundrel." Mr. TWYFORD said he could not altogether overlook the offence, as it was in evidence that the defendant had resisted the officer in the discharge of his duty, which was the offence charged. The officers were desired to keep the streets clear, and no doubt it was a very diffi cult duty to perform. It was evident the officer mistook Mr. Wightman for the owner of the van. Ile should fine the defendant five shillings for resisting and abusing the -finer in the execution of his duty. • immediately paid the fine and left the Mr. Wiehtinan - Court. - , aced se.

Peter s ; burgh, is, in the opinion of the Russians, the e2earest 51 r the best water that can anywhere be obtained. For months in the year, .this highly-prized water L el cealed by a thick covering of ice and snow, but w . " e , o , towards the beginning of April, the atmosphL has acquired sufficient warmth to loosen the Wintr‘ fetters of the stream, the inhabitants look forward wit ., eager expectation to the moment when their bel oved Neva will burst her bonds, and Move again free and In,g" jestically between her serf-tenanted banks. As soon as the icy mass has got into motion, the glad tidings are an" nounced to the expectant capital by tho artillery .of tb: citadel, a fortress of considerable strength, situated Imre° diately opposite to the Emperor's Palate. 'This c itadel, b}' the bye, standing in the very centre of the city, could Diet of no earthly value in case of a hostile , attack ; b ut might be found serviceable should the St. Peterslmr,,qhe ever be tempted to venture on a July revolution tterval very moment, be it day or night, that an ope n it ern or occurs between the floating masses of ice,, the," „ eo r's of the citadel crosses in a boat to the, - " rill- n . vs !.al Palace, and presents his Majesty with ' o f goblet full of Neva water, as the first offering the returning spring, and this goblet the EruP e , c r a o p r i d ta r l inks lt off w. tc s , cthuestohienaalrtyh,atnildl withinpros the prit y lastok b turn it to the Governor; but it was noticed that the gob -- let grew larger and larger every year, so that the task of i f s ew .beloved: ears for the Emperor to fill the empty goblet with gold, and re ,- emptying the glass became yearly more difficult of accom plishment, while on the other hand it required every year a greater number of ducats to fill it as high with gold as it had before been filled with' water. By way of retrench ment, his Majesty has of late reduced the customary present to the Governor, who now receives 200 ducats in return for his uninebriating beverage. This sum, ihoug. ll less than his predecessors have frequently receiveO , I g, still, perhaps, a larger price than is paid for a glass el water in any other part of the world. BRIDGE OF BOA TS.—At Lyons, among othe r exhibitions for the celebration of the fetes of July, Wl' s one by the corps of Pontonniers, quartered in that town* who threw a bridge of 38 boats across the Rhone in lel than an hour.
