NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. 44 The Clare Election" is a temperate and able 4ceount of the strange proceedings that took Place at thi s memora bl e an d unprece d en ted elec -I'on. It is manifestly the work of a partisan ; ." one who was an eye• w i tness o f a ll t h a t he g teribes, and who possesses no slight power of ' l „ 4 easrn and acute observation. We suspect Mr. AO to be the author. The following sketch i q Sir Edward O'Brien, as he app eare d on t h e 'llfitings, is very graphic, and we doubt not, th4r4cteristic " Sir Edward O'Brien proposed Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald as Peoper person to serve in Parliament. Sir Edward had oa fiirmer occasions been the vehement antagonist of Vitzgerald, and in one instance a regular battle had en fought,between the tenantry of both parties. It was W hich that this fend had left some acrimonious feelings nich were sot quite extinct behind, and many conjec ' 4 ed , that the ecal of Sir Edward in favour of his compe titor was a little feigned. This notion was confirmed by t he cir cums t anc e that Sir Edward O'Brien's son (th e efriber for Ennis) had subscribed to the Catholic Rent, b it Member of the Association , and had recently made Z vigorous speech in Parliament in defence of that body. however, probable that the feudal pride of Sir.

I was not a little astonished at see !' "it weep upon the hustings. It was however ob t;irved to me, that he is given to the " melting mood" tre o e u P his tears do not fall like the gum of " the Arabian. In the House of Commons he once produced.a great by bursting into tears while he described the misery of L no peopl e o f Cl are , although at the same t un e h is granaries were full. It w as sa id that his hustings' pathos was of th e same quality, and arose from the peculiar stn' ` e litibility o f t h e l acrymatory nerves, and not from any v "Y nice fibres about the heart; still 1 am convinced that his emotion was genuine; and that he was profoundly touched. He complained that he had been deserted by his tenant.S, although he had dt-serred well at their hands; and exclaimed that the country was not one fit for a gen tleman to resiAe in, when property lOst all its influence, and things were brought to such a pass. 'The motion was seconded by Sir A. Fitzgerald in a few-words." " The Boon of Memory," like all. Mrs. Hemans' verse, is elegant—" Self-love and Be-. nevolence" a light metaphysical dialogue— " Letters from the Levant," 'full as usual of l description and useful intelligence. The Re view of "Field's Memoirs of Dr. Parr" (are. we never to have done with this subject?) is little better than -a peg on which to hang up some fresh anecdotes of the clever and much in jured Doctor. The Reviewer very prOperly, though too briefly and indirectly, animadverts on the intolerable twaddle of such pedantics as Mr. Barker and John Symmons, Esq. (of Abermarlais, Llandovery, South Wales), who under pretence of doing justice to Dr. Parr, have made him little better than a 'natural. Surely, if ever man was, the Doctor is entitled to address these gentlemen in the words of Hotace, " Pol me occidistis,-amici." " Tra velling Oddities" is lively and - deSultory ; and the article " On Playing Punch" ingenious. On the whole the number is a very superior one.

The observations on the 'Mike - of - Newcastle's late epistolary abortion we strongly 'recommend to ,the attention•of our readers ; it is -terse; vi • gorous, *sarcastic, and full of 'good- sense. Bio graphies of Dr. Parr" take up-the subject in a proper manner ; We, can, however, only afford room for the following pertinent remarks . on " Parriana " We had intended to have tried, convicted, and execut ed, 6 E. H. Barker, Esq. of Thetford, Norfolk,' the Editor of Parriana. But the office has been previously performed by some of our contemporaries. A snore ill judged, pedantic, or disgraceful publication never issued from the press during the present century. It has not a single redeeming virtue. We can only regret that some of his correspondents of real respectability should have been seduced to reply to the lithographic circulars, directed by this incorrigible literary alms-seeker to every person, how ever remotely known to Dr. Parr. The most formal and immaterial answer has offered a peg for this literary pre tender to hang his puffs on. " Mr: E. Barker advertises in the Preface, r Addenda et Corrigenda' of his first-born volume if any mis takes should be discovered by the reader, and communi cated• to the author, publicly or privately, with. any addi tional matter, respecting any facts, circumstances, or in dividuals referred to in this work, the author will, in the second volume, he able to avail himself of the information from whatever quarter it ,may proceed.' If this novel mode of manufacturing biography be legal and legitimate, why should not every Reedy literary adventurer or pub lisher advertise their several Intentions of publishing me moirs, and for all persons in possessions of letters, papers, or anecdotes, to send in their specification, tenders, and contract price ? If the quantity falls short of a volume, it is easy to make up the deficiency ; forgery joined to theft will always accomplish that. But this system is a scanda lous injury to the living-and the dead. The injury punish ed is not redressed. What an author would not publish in his lifetime, has no right to be indiscriminately printed after his death: . We can add nothing to the force of the bare enunciation of this obvious truth." The remaining articles, "On the State of Opinion in Ireland," and " A View of of the State of Trade in the years 1826, 7, and 8," bring much spirit and shrewdness to the task.— Altogether this Magazine gives, we are happy to state, hints of a thorough regeneration. WEST OF. ENGLAND MAGAZINE. A pleasant, rambling, superficial periodical, with some, variety, and one - or two good remarks. The introductory article on Mr. Sergeant Wikle is penned in a high style of eulogium, from which we conclude that it is the production of Lord Chief Jus tice Best. " Retrospections of a Young Author" is entertaining and sprightly ; it wants however, soundness of reflection, such as the subject, in older hands, would naturally elicit. " Confessions of a Collegian " are common place, we have scarcely had patience to go through them, so speak with due reserve on the subject. There are one or two amusing little contributions, one from the pen of Mr. Pennie, which will repay perusal, but which our limits prevent us from enlarging on. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. The October number, though perhaps not so interesting as some of its predecessors as to events, yet is certainly second to none in instruc tion. The conclusion of " Nimrod's" article on the condition of hunters and foot lameness, proclaims him alike master of his subject in theory and practice ; and the sons of the scarlet coat, who have the discrimination to attend to it, will find it greatly conducive to their security and pleasure in the forthcoming season. The description of the St. Leger Race is admirable. The plates are well executed, and every topic of the present number is handled with ability in its way. 'THE GEN 'LEMAN'S MAGAZINE OF FASHION, THE WORLD OF FASHION. These periodicals deserve a notice from the lavish abundance of their engravings of dandies ; as far as the writing is concerned, they are just twenty degrees below .the. extremest common place. ACKERMANN'S REPOSITORY. The embellishments to this Patagonian perio dical are alone worth the sum paid for the whole number, which is still further improved by one or two little pleasing tales and criticisms. Of these, the " Spectre Isle" is decidedly the best. UnfOrttanately, however, it is unfinished ; and the interest adjourned over (a bad practice with Ma gazines) to next month, by which time the pre sent portion will be nearly, if not quite, forgotten. BOTANICAL REGISTER, OR ORNAMENTAL FLOWER-GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY—No. S. As usual, we are presented with faithful re presentations of fine plants from various collec tions in this country, rendered more interesting and valuable to cultivators by the addition of Mr. Lindley's (the present conductor) judicious remarks on culture, general habit, &c. We must notice first a very fine specimen of the Amaryllidea order, named " Clivia Nobilis," in compliment to the Duchess of Northumberland, at whose princely collection at Sion House it was dra«'n• It is a hardy green-house plant of easy culture. And secondly ca Verbena MeEn dres," Scarlet Buenos Ayres Verbena, drawn from the collection of the Earl of Egremont, at Petworth, hitherto unknown in this country, otherwise thin in a dried state ; it appears to be a perennial, striking freely from cuttings of the . refined stems, and flowering in abundance from June to December.- It will probably require the protection of a frame in severe weather, to be turned into the. open border during the summer.

EXETER; MONDAY EVENING.—This has been an interesting and busy day with the young Queen of Portugal; she had to receive the homage of the un fortunate—of brave men who have abandoned their country to 'move their fidelity to oaths, which have been so flagrantly violated, under circumstances of such revolting perfidy, by the plighted husband of thia'Royal scion, and whose, presence could not fail to - have affected her Majesty, even in her ten& r years. The young Queen was less fatigued by her jour ney from Cornwall than might have been expected. She rose early this morning, and gratified the public who thronged the area in front of her hotel, with her frequent appearance at the different windows, from 'which she repeatedly bowed to the people. She was much amused with the bustle of the loading and' setting off of the mail and stage coaches, and the parting cheers of their passengers. She was attired in a light blue silk dress, fastened in front with, large bows of the same coloured riband. She wore a white laced cap, bound by blue also. Her appearance bore some resemblance to that of the late lamented Princess Charlotte when of the same age. She has not the slightest tinge of a tro pical complexion, and has the clearness of hue and cheerfulness of manner which characterize English children of her years. Her hair is beautifully fair, her face pale, eyes light blue and very sparkling.— She is not tall for her age, but is straight and well formed, and apparently of an active and lively dispo sition; of very kind temper, her attendants say; and is, on the whole, in air rind manner, what would be expected from a healthy and well-reared English child of the same years. She is quite familiar with the children of her suite, and has already_acquired the affection of his Majesty's attendants, who were assigned from the King's Household to assist in the cavalcade to London. Towards mid-day the drawing-room of the Hotel was" prepared for the reception of the address from the 'Portuguese troops. The young Queen_was placed at the upper part of the room, with the Mar chioness de Palmella on her right, and the Countess Itabayancy behind her. The remainder of the semi circle was composed of Lord Clinton and Sir Wm. Freemantle, the Marquis de Barbacena, who has charge of the Queen from her father, the Marquis de Palmella, the Viscount Itabayana, the Chamber lain, M. de Saldanha, and the officers of their seve ral suites. The young Queen stood a little in advance of the groupe, and, as many children are quick in artificial parts, evinced some proficiency in the early intui tion of royal ceremony—here carriage was quite erect, her head thrown a little back, her right foot in advance, and the posture a constrained one for a child at that rge, and one of some difficulty to main tain as long as this young Queen preserved it, with ont some sacrifice of the simple and graceful air of infancy. The following officers composed the deputation from the Portuguese troops now stationed in the depot at Plymouth. The Commandant of this depot, Senhor Candido Jose Xavier, Brigadiero Joaquim de S. G. Pizarro (Commandant of the di vision which marched into Spain), and Colonel flenrique da Silva (Commandant of the regiment No. 18). They had the appearance of care-worn soldiers, a►nd wore the full uniform of their respec tive corps, all decorated (particularly Gen. Pizarro) with a number of foreign orders. At twelve o'clock they were introduced into the presence of their young Queen by the Marquis de Palmella, and after kneeling and kissing her Ma jesty's hand, they delivered the following address, which the Commandant Xavier read with great emo tion. At one time the young Queen, struck with the expressive scene before her, appeared to he for a moment particularly affected, and eagerly turned to receive the support of the Marchioness de Palmella's arm. Stur had possibly observed two of the Brazi lian officers of her suite in tears, when the brave Portuguese soldier, with a sigh, announced for him self and comrades, that their lives wero all that now remained for them to devote for her service. The address delivered by these gentlemen to the young Queen was of course in the Portuguese lan guage, and was in substance as follows : " Your Majesty's Portuguese subjects, who, to preserve unstainod the oath of allegiance which they have taken to your/ august father, have been obliged to abandon their country, and to seek an asylum in a foreign land, have sent us here this day to place at your Majesty's feet their most profound homage, submission, and respect. " If they see with grief that they have lost the first mo ment of kissing your Majesty's hand upon reaching the shores of this country, they console themselves with the pleasing hope that your Majesty will deign to receive their assurances of unshaken loyalty to your august person, proved indeed by the greatest and best merited sacrifices. " From the beginning of their monarchy, the Portu guese Princes, the august predecessors of your Majesty, laid the foundation of their throne in the fidelity and love of their subjects. This fidelity, this hwe, are safe, and in the hearts of those loyal subjects your Majesty can with security confide, repose, and trust. " At the feet of your Majesty we lay our hearts and our lives, and we would deposit more, if more had been left to us. " May it please your Majesty to receive from us this homage, only worthy of being received on account of the purity with which it is offered. " And may Europe and the whole world witness, in this devotion of the loyal subjects of your Majesty, the most decisive proof of our love to the person of our Sovereign, and most sincere homage to the legitimacy of your throne. " Your loyal subjects kiss the royal hand of your Ma jesty. (Signed.) At the conclusion of this address,. the th ree officers again kissed the Queen's hand, when her Majesty in a low tone of voice replied, also in Por tuguese : " I feel, gentlemen, most sincerely for all your hard ships, and I thank you for these proofs of your fidelity. All I can add is, that I Lope ia Cod our wrongs will soon cease." The deputation then withdrew, and the youthfu Queen was soon after conducted to the Cathedral. MEETING OF THE PROTESTANTS OF THE COUNTY OF TYRONE.—On Friday last a most numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Gentry, Clergy, and Yeomanry of the County of Tyrone, was held in the Court house of Omagh, fur the purpose of establishing a Brims wick Constitutional Club for the County of Tyrone.— Dublin Evening Post. MEETING IN LIFFORD TO ESTABLISH A BRUNSWICK CONSTITUTIONAL Cura.—On Thursday last, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Landed Proprietors of the County of. Donegal was bald in the Court•house of Lifford, for the purpose of establishing a Brunswick Constitutional Club for the County.--Dub lin livening Post. HARROW PARK.—The following is a con cise extract from GEORGE Roanis's description of this favoured retreat, which is sold in consequence of the de cease. of the respected owner :—This singularly beautiful freehold property has long been the distinguished feature of this admired neighbourhood, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendation, that it would be as impossible as it would be superfluous to attempt a length ened panegyric. Harrow Park was, for many years, the favoured retreat of Lord NORTH WICK : th e Mansion has been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary and beautiful views which 'the terrace walks command. The panorama which is pre sented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will not yield to any in England. The residence poss esses , i n an eminent degree, all the accommodation a family of distinc tion can desire. The Park, of seventy acres, mast luxuri. - an tly timbered, has uniformly been the snljeet of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and bountiful inequality in the grounds that necessarily add to the im posing effect, whilst the majestic timber scattered about in pleasing negligence, and the extended ornamental water winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis pOsed grounds, add greatly to the effect; there is, beside, a romantic bridge, and an aquatic pavilion, with venerable .willows overhanging its banks, and by means of a noble vista, the Majestic Castle. at Windsor, with London in the opposite direction, are distinctly seen. It will probably be quite sufficient - to add, that the genius of REPTON presided over the disposition of the pleasure grou n d s . Th ere i s a c onservatory and ice-house judiciously placed. Two ex tensive gardens, with three hot and succession houses, and pinery ; gardeners' house and three lodge entrinwes. CORPORATION MEETING. On Saturday the. masters, wardens, and members of the guilds of the corporation, met, pursuant to a nan:eless requisition, at the house, on Wellington tlic propriety of quay, for the purpose of discussing petitioning against any further • concessions to the Catholics. Mr. Sheriff HODGES in the Chair: • After a variety of bad speeches, perpetrated chiefly by Messrs. CLAITDIUS BEREsFORD and DAVIE ITLEARY, a tailor, eminent .for his patriotism, the following resolution was put from the Chair and adopted in the following form :-- Resolved—" That this Meeting do recommend • the various corporations of this city, on their next quarterly day, to petition his Majesty and the Le gislature against granting any further Protestant privileges to the Roman Catholics- of the British empire, and also to petition for the repeal of so much of the 33d of the late King as granting power to Papists to vote at elections.'.' A vote of thanks to the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Chandos, and Lord Kenyon, was then proposed, And on the motion of Mr. MALLET, the name of Lord Eldon being added, the resolution was carried unanimously. - _ Alderman KING begged to suggest an idea which might be put afterwards into the shape of a resolu tion. It was to call the attention of the Meeting to the Brunswick Clubs in England and Ireland,pledg ing themselves to co-operate in every manner with these Constitutional Clubs. A resolution to this effect having been adopted, Alderman King was called to the Chair, and thanks having been returned to Mr. Sheriff Hodges, the meeting broke up amid tremendous shouting, cheer ing, waving of hats, handkerchiefs, and other mani festations of triumph.—Duhlin Paloci% DREADFUL MURDER. -MONMOUTH', sErr. 30, This town and neighbourhood are in a state of extraordinary excitement from the discovery, on Sunday morning, of a murder committed on the body of Esther Stephens, the wife of W. Stephens, a bargeman, which in its sanguinary character falls little short of the horrid atrocities with which the public ear has, of late, been made too familiar. A Coroner's jury was assembled. at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and proceeded to view the body, which was found lying on one side, with the knees drawn up, a deep cut through the larynx and half through the asophagus, the external carotids and the superior skyroid artery divided. A clasp knife, such as rustics generally carry in their pockets, was found in the blood which surrounded the body, and a horn-handled dining knife, round at the point, was lying on the table. The room was literally deluged with blood, and traces of blood were left, as if made with the fingers, on both sides of the staircase, and on the lock of the door. The house in which the deceased and her husband lived is in Wyebridge-lane, and is let out in separate floors of two rooms each. It appeared from the evidence of several persons that the deceased had been from home several weeks, and returned on Saturday morning, when she found the house locked. She afterwards got some one to write a letter, which she left at the turnpike-house in Wyebridge, to be delivered to a young man named Edward Barnett. This letter Esther Stephens af terwards fetched from the turnpike-house, saying that she had found where Barnett was ; she then delivered the letter to a little girl, Jane Watkins, who was desired to call Barnett out of the Queen's Head public•house, and give the letter to him.-- This the child did, when he broke open the letter and said, "I can't read it—can you ?" The letter was afterwards put into the hands of the hostler, who, on his examination, said that he could not rightly make it out; he, however, remembered that he read " Maria Marten, and the Red Barn," when Barnett took it out of his hand, saying--" I know where it comes from," and wer.t hastily away.. The child had been directed to tell Barnett that he was to meet Esther Stephens at the Gloucestershire house, whither he accordingly went, and the child was afterwards sent to tell him that Esther's husband was just come home, and that she would not come to him for three quarters of an hour, by. which time he •would be gone down the river with the barge to which he belonged. They were afterwards seen to go together into Stephens's house, and Esther was seen in the course of the afternoon,fetching beer,coal, and water : each time locking the door, which she was not in the habit of doing when she went on such errands. She went out late in the evening, and was heard by a man (nicknamed Blackbird) and his wife, - who lived on the floor below, to return about half past one or two, shortly after which a scuffle was heard, which becoming more violent, the woman jumped up, saying to her husband, " Bill, for God's sake, see what Stephens is doing to his wife," when he halloed out " What the devil, Stephens, are you about ? Are you going to murder the woman ?" When something was heard to fall on the floor, and all was again silent. Little notice was taken of the scuffling and screaming, as Stephens and his wife frequently quarrelled and fought. A loud scream was heard by a man named Fuller, who lived nearly opposite, and he got up and opened the window, but heard nothing more, although be remained some time at the window, during which the church clock struck three, and the chimes played. This man was one of the first persons who entered the house of the deceased after the murder, having been informed by a person natned Pierce that " Het of the Kymin" was murdered, he having. discovered the door wide open, and on going up had found her in a gore of blood. Suspicion attaches most strongly to E. Barnett, the person who received the letter from the child, and was seen to go into the house from the circum stance of a pair of laced boots having been found there, which a shoemaker named Mitchell swore that be had made for Barnett ; a fustian shooting jacket, such as he generally wore; a hat of a better description than the one ever worn by the husband; and a shot bag, containing upwards of 301. in notes, sovereigns, and save:, and which bag, with a good deal of money in it, he is proved to have had in his posses sion whilst paying for some rum and water which he drank at the Gloucestershire House. A reward of forty guineas has been offered for the apprehension of Edward Barnett by the Mayor of Monmouth. He is, it appears, a wood-cutter, and resided at Redding, near Staunton, and is thus de scribed :—About 23 years of age, about five feet ten inches in height, stout built, and well made, but rather stoops and shuffles as he walks : has dark full eyes, dark brown hair, with whiskers of the same colour, but a little inclined to sandy; dark com plexion, arid freckled on his cheeks ; has a heavy sullen look, a prominent nose, with a wide mouth, and full good teeth. He has a full sized foot, and his leg above the aurae joint is particularly small for so stunt a man.

It must be presumed, therefore, that the opinion expressed in the House of Lords • last year by his Majesty's First Minister,'as to the disastrous consequences to - be anticipated from an overthrow of the Turkish power iii Europe, has undergone a considerable change. The consequence of the blockade, if it be a-sue cessful operation, will be equal to that of a con quest of the Turkish empire ; and those foreign Power's which assent to, dr submit to it, are lend ing them selves in substance to that humiliation key, ao the. authority of the Duke . of t d o es t c h r at ibin re g d t o:ti b o; a o l f .na h t e t r er po o s f ve se r,_ Nv f v :" T ie l c ' i ren‘g,ibetl ha v e, h than that a ti l i a a r t m i t t o us E s zo h s se . the best possible right to There is nothing clearer avail herself of an effective blockade of the Dar= dauelles, as a legitimate mode of warfare against her enemy, provided she have not already waved that privilege by especial compact or understand ing with her other partners in the Greek treaty. But, so far as one at least of thosesallies is concerned, the notice of blockade ought to be accompanied or followed by a full explana tion of the sense in which the " waver of the right to maritime warfare in the Mediterranean ' for Russian objects, by a Russian force; was received and understood by those who made it a prominent ground of satisfaction in the speech King's to Parliament, that thus the honour of the Government may be freed from suspicion, ,whatever may become of its praise for wisdom,. or of the pretensions' to firmness and consistency put forth for the Prime Minister by his adhe rents. In fact, - with regard to this same virtue ()firmness, few things would afford us more sincere gratification than to witness a display et it by his Majesty's present Government in any one popular and honest cause, feeling ourselves under difficulty where to look for it in any de partment of policy at home or abroad which embraces great national questions.—Times. The narrative of the young Queen of Portu gal's movements (which will be found elsewhere), and of the homage tendered, not less to her in nocent and helpless childhood than to her politi cal wrongs, cannot, we think, be read without emotion. Had she never been. born to a diadem, and her high claims announced to her, and her youthful mind already loaded with the seeds of those uneasypassions which beset withoit mercyt he aspirants to sovereign power—Which haunt them while they exercise it, nor unhappily leave them when they lose it—the kindest prayer we could offer up for poor Maria da Gloria would be, that she might never achieve the boisterous elevation from which she has even in her first approach to it been so rudely and treacherously spurned. But such feelings we know to be unseasonable, when the destiny of nations is entwined with that of Princes. The moral coloring of this young creature's life, and, by conse quence its best enjoyments, must be sub ject to an interest with which she is but arti ficially connected. Both will probably be sacri ficed to it if she should ascend the throne ; and for that inestimable sacrifice, there will be none to pity the decorated and unconscious victim. With regard to the rights of this illustrious child to the royal inheritance of the House of Bra ganea, in deliberating through what means they ought to be recovered, we ought to recollect th e agency through which they were lost. It is quite undisputed that the English Government cons tributed in many ways to the success of Miguel, —to the overthow of the chartered constitution, and to the actual expulsion of' her whom it now recognizes as the lawful Queen of Portugal. The eagerness with which the British Government courted Don Miguel, and swallowed the project fo sending him to Lisbon, and after his arrivaltbere withdrew its troops, the only available check upon his known hostility to the Charter and to the Liberal party, the natural frien& of Eng land,—the prompt subserviency to the schemee of the Usurper, which led .the King of En, land's Ministers, to acknowledge successively tic non-effective blockades of Oporto and Madensi, before it was possible for them to be otherwise than non-effective,—the series of instructions, finally, which compelled Sir F. Lamb to throw up in disgust an embassy which he could no 'longer hold but as a tool of perfidious des potisin,—these ill-judged proceedings were no doubt the most efficient causes of Don Miguel's triumph. It is not too much to affirm, there fore, that England has some amends to make to Don Pedro and his deposed and expa triated child. England has been the chief instrument of the despotism, because she only had the power to deter Don Miguel from passive itlicsliingGaosb,earidmieilt cause,to go an d t o by any bothatt eln active, t senc , ,alt iye d saa lD itill) f stp :l itri C ool t ‘e e , encourageshe t binoe:,- saving in his atrocious enterprise.

The gross blunder comm itted by k r. geant Arabin, one of those ornansents of' the profession which the Corp orattort of the Ci ty o f London are so successful i n discovering, i n to . fusing the evidence of a Mr. Bro oks , on grounds utterly unknown to the law, in duced that indi, victual to re f use taking the oath yesterd a y as t h e Westminster Carat Leet, as a constable. He c6 i,„„d e d that, in the capacity of constable, his evidence might often Le indi vens ibl to the con viction of guilt or acquittal of e innocence ; and that the swearing him in as constable, if his evi donee could not h e t• a k .en in a Court of Justice, would be the means of defeating the ends of justice. The gentleman who presided in the Court could not, of course, listen to any such objections, I secause I its business was to admi nister the law as it is, not to reconcile it with Mr. Sergeant Arabia's exposition. Even if Mr. Serge an t A ra bi n were in the right, it would not have been the less imperative on the gentleman in question to- call Mr. Brooks 'on his oath ; be cause he cannot enter into considerations as to the effect the execution of the law he adminis ters will have. If the law allows a person to be sworn as constable who cannot discharge a most important duty—that of giving evidence against offenders—it is for the Legislature to removethe anomaly, and not the Judge.
