SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DAILT PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES,---Various facts illustrative of Earl;: itzwilliam's tyrannical interference with the freedom of election were lately communicated to us by a correspondent ; but really the particulars, though exhibiting all the usual credentials of truth, appeared to implicate his Lordship ' in such foul political baseness, that, conceiving they might possibly be tinged with the exaggerations into which a defeated adversary is too often betrayed, we had determined, for the present at least, to pass them by in silence. To state with certainty any satisfactory reason for having thus hesitated to give unreserved credence to those particulars is wholly out of our power. Cer tainly there is nothing in the Noble Earl's position betokening a priori his probable exemption from the excesses of violent partisanship. On the con trary, considering the tenacious gripe with which , in spite of the Reform Bill, his Lordship succeeded in retaining his ancient boroughmongering in Milton and Peterborough—considering the relentless dicta tion uniformly employed by him in forcing his own nominees upon the constituencies under his influence — and considering, moreover, the Noble Lord's zealous co-operation with O'Connell and his myrmidons in the county of Wicklow—we arc free to:admit that all the pre sumptions are in favour of the perfect accuracy of our correspondents communication ; and as we see that our circumspect ' neighbour, the Standard, has given pub licity to the same facts with a minuteness of detail which seems to place their verisimilitude beyond suspicion, the propriety of subjecting them to indignant exposure can be no longer a question with any respectable Journal. The narrative may be given in a word or two. At the recent election for Peterborough, where Lord Fitzwilliam considers himself the sole constituent, his Lordship, by the instrumentality of his bailiffs and agents, declared his intention to return his. own son and Sir Robert Heron. The borough. how ever, happens to contain a goodly number of Con serratires remarkably indifferent to Lord Fitz william's wishes. Indeed, the disgust of the electors at the arbitrary and unconstitutiona interference of his Lordship has, in recent years, occasioned such an extensive desertion from the Fitzwilliam ranks, that the return of his Lorlehip's nominees was, with great diffi culty; effected, by no larger a majority than Ten. This narrow escape, taken in connection with the humbling defeat lately sustained by the Noble Lord's family, both in the county of Northampton and in the West Riding of Yorkshire, appears to have chafed the haughty Whig feudalist out of his Fitz-legitimate into fits of a lees harm less kind. The Noble Lord has become impatient of being disregarded by Ids tenants. His waning influence has distracted him. Peterborough has asserted an inde pendence nut to be endured. To put an end to this alarming freedom, his Lordship's refractory dependents must . be punished; and accordingly their forcible eject ment from their respective tenements has been enjoined by Lord Fitzwiltiam, and would instantaneously be carried into effect, without leaving them a straw pal let to lie upon, were it not for the forms of law. Four of the Fitzwilliam tenants, who had voted against his Lordship's nominees (two of them being clergy men of the Established Church, and two of them respectable tradesmen) have been served with " notices to_ quit." The affair, as might be expected. has made some stir in Peterborough ; and as the Noble Lord's professed at tachment to freedom of election has been brought into scandalous disrepute, his Lordship has endeavoured to find a foil for his disgraceful proceedings, by pleading the example which had been set him in the same place by a .virulent Tory partisan. And who, pray, did the luckless and unexemplary Conservative hap pen to be ? A furious High-church magistrate—or a powerful landed proprietor—or a busy intriguing par son ? No, indeed ; but there happens to be in Peter borough a staunch opponent of Intzwilliamism, in the person of an elderly gentlewoman who has a mortal dislike to the Whigs ; and because the aedent lady, with that al lowable self-will which everybody concedes to her sex, discarded a tenant of hers who had voted for the Fitz williams, the Noble Lord seizes this solitary petticoat as an example and shelter for his analogous practices. The good wife of Peterborough, though deserving of all honour for her loyal zeal, has undoubtedly carried it be yond the bounds of discretion. But' is this a precedent to be followed by it Peer of the realm ? Are Lord Fitzwilliam's borough politics to be regulated by the mistaken caprices of a CensereatiVe matron ? Shame upon Lord Fitzwilliam for hie unmanly and senseless re taliations ! Had the Noble Lord been actuated by a cor dial desire to uphold the independence of the electors, rather than to glut his appetite for mean revenge, lie would have shown a magnanimous superiority to female weakness, seductive .and fascinating though it be. But while his Lordship has been only too happy to find a . precedent fur his tyranny in the pardonable thible of 'poor Mrs. Cornes, the piquant luxury of visiting his wrath upon two defenceless clergymen, and sundry con stitutional shopkeepers who ventured to vote in accord ance with their conscieoces, was too tempting to be thre gone. Powerful opponents, whose resources enable them to fight an equal battle. don't suit his Lordship. An up right clergyman who stands up for the Church, or a dis criminating tradesman who abhors O'Connellism, cannot be permitted to ditthr from Lord Fitzwilliam without incurring his Lordship's bitterest curse. Nay, the fact that the two shopkeepers, Messrs. Speechley and Elling ton, though they refused to poll for Sir Robert Heron, divided their votes between Lord Fitzwilliam's son and the Conservative candidate, seems only to have exposed them the more to his Lordship's remorseless spleen. Hse ipily. however, there are still a few houses in Peterborough whose doors the noble persecutor cannot shut. The clergymen whom Lord Fitzwilliam's malig nity has hurried from their homes will yet peradventure find a bed to lie upon. A place of business also, with a great increase of customers oecasioned by public sympa thy, will doubtless be found for tiled:wave and. martyred laymen. Let the inhabitants of Peterborough lay this outrage to heart. The moral. which it teaches them is, that, as long as they form part of the Fitzwifliain tenan try. they can have no will of their own—they are treated as a "'sang of feudal serfs who must pay their votes to their Lord superior as regularly as they pay their rent. Surely it is impossible that high-spirited Englishmen can long endure such degradation an this. Let them make a united effort, and the tyranny of their oppressor will be laid in the dust. CHRONICLE.----No further light has been thrown by the Ministerial organ upon the bold assertion which it last week hazarded, that " there is no country in Europe where the ordinary wages of labour command so much bread as they do in England." The assertion may now take its place amongst the random efforts of a cause, desperate in argument, and relying wholly for support in the numerical prepo, derance of interested legislators. It is an impudent fallacy. Like others of its class; it is easily disposed of, as we have already shown. In future, it would be better for the scribes of monopoly to give up these abortive attempts at argument, and obvious dis tortions of notorious fact. Let them rely upon the real strength of their cause. Let them say at once, we are a Parliamentary majority, and we command the Govern ment which, as we made, so we will unmake; if it dare to touch our sordid interests. That is the true pro- Corn-law argument. The merits of the case lie in a nutshell.- 'Every other allegation in support of the sys tem is hors du comb:a. The field is cleared of them. This assumption, that labour is worth more bread in England than anywhere else in Europe, was . , ti . te last attempt at imposition. We gave the co:Ivey:1U; c iii t i rttes of wages in France and Belgium, fr om th ose of P c workmen down to those of women and children in. fae- tories, and the number of pounds weig'et of bread :vhi. a those wages would purchase. The comparison sliows our own working classes to be worse off by one-third of their week's earnings, supposing them all turned , into bread. Ther e i s an en d of our Contemporary s argu ment. On the Continent the farm-labourer has generally his lodging and food in addition to his money wages. What would the Duke of Buckingham's nine-shilling men say to that ? But it only happens to this fallacy as to the rest. They have all shown themselves only to be destroyed, so far as disproof is destruction. What has been the effect of discussion upon the notion of producing at home a sufficient and independent supply of food ? It has just served to evince the not very recondite fact that the more numerous the markets to which we resort, the less danger there must be of f a ili ng and irregular supply, or of fluctuating prices. The argument of independence h as 'passed over to the opposite side of the discussion. Every tradesman feels the absurdity, or the bad faith of the landed interest, when it modestly says to the com munity, " Give me a monopoly that you may be indepen dent." Th e necessity of finding employment for the people, is another topic that serve d the turn for a short P.

Even Chartists can no longer be bribed at such paltry pay as a shilling per head to repeat it at public meetings. The refutation Wag in the work people's own memories. In their experience there. has been quite enough of low wages and high prices. Overborne at first by the vehement reiteration of the falsehood, they have since recovered, and recollected themselves. And then the pretence sunk into utter worthlessnes; The last defence of an abuse in this country always is, that it works well. When every possible show of justice, reasonableness, or utility, is exhausted, and repelled, still there is that to fall back upon ; it works well. On this ground, the Tories made their final stand for boroughmongering. But even this is becom ing untenable. Why else do we hear of modifications. and ," considerations ?" .Every pretence under which the Corn-laws were enacted has been falisfied by facts. They, have not kept prices steady, nor even kept them high.- They have mot• averted- repeated distress from the agriculturists. They have not stimulated improve ment, nor exteneen cultivation so as to supply the wants I of the community. And here is the country, after a long trial of them, i n undenied and undeniable distress. The well-working argument has ceased to work well. It fills back amongst the outworn. One veil i:f delusion has been stripped °IT after another. The Corn-law dis cussion has only consisted of the successive exposure of fallacies. Any defence of the monopoly has sunk into the mere repetition of generalities. Whenever it has been attempted to work out in detail, logically or sta tistically, any argument in its favour, the invariable re suit has been that such argument speedily became useless. It is found convenient to rest in a few phrases. And in this state of things is the question now, with a growing interest in the subject, strengthening and deepening, through all the industrious classes of the community. The contest is that of power against opinion. By power, we mean the possession of office and Parlia mentary majorities. It may yet be found, as it has be fore, that there is also a power in opinion. lIEItALD.—It was currently rumoured in the city yesterday afternoon, that Lord Ellenborough would be this day announced as the proposed successor of the Earl of Auckland in the Government of India. Our city correspondent seems to intimate that the selection of the new Governor-General of our vast empire in that distant region, did not appear to be exceedingly acceptable oa 'Change. He alludes to some vague apprehensions which are entertained in certain quarters lest the moderation and affability which are now displayed by the noble Pre sident of the Board of Control should be lost in the more exciting sphere of action wherein the qualifications of the Governor-General must be testified—that the strong inducement to any man who fills the latter position to run a career of brilliant, but unprofitable achievement, is too strong to be resisted by men of even the highest capacity and discretion in other stations, and under other exigencies. Of Lord Auckland's Indian administration we are not prepared to speak with all the decision and force of our able Correspondent. At present it appears to us, in' many respects indefen sible. The immoderate extension of our frontier on the north and north-west has a palpable tendency to weaken our defences, to decompose the masses and, to neutralise the strength of our military force-- to scatter and draw out on an almost interminable line, instead of concentrat ing at akw commanding and well-secured points, our means offensive and defensive, and an efficient chain of communications. It is without doubt, moreover, the most palpable objection among those which suggest themselves to the policy pursued by Lord Auckland in respect of the territorial and external relations of British India, that he has engaged in half a dozen enterprises, each fraught with greater diffienities, military, physical, and political, than its predecessor, and each of them tend ing to increase the already overwhelming aggregate of financial sacrifices which seemed to demand the undivided and incessant application of his best energies for their re moval. But we must have Lord Auckland's personal statement of the pressure under which he acted in inter posing in the affairs of Lahore; the feuds of the Ameers of Sinde and the troubles of Affghanistan, before we can fairly hold him responsible for all the waste of blood and treasure which is certainly to be laid to the account of the various campaigns and operations which have been carried on, under his government, on the banks of the Indus and in the'countries beyond it. Until we have some connected account of this sort from his Lord ship founded—(nor could he avail himself of a finer model for his purpose)—On the late Marquis of Hastings' summary of his administration in India," we shall be hardly warranted in proceeding to judgment on jhe po licy of Lord Auckland. It is notorious, that, for a cen tury past, the India Company's direction at home have for ever been urging on their Governments in the Penin sula the indispensable policy of consolidating the terri tory previously acquired, and of abstaining from the ex tension of their frontier. It is equally notorious that the force of circumstances and the incessant political revolu tions of the native states of Hindostan on this side and beyond the Ganges, have compelled the Supreme Go vernment in India to sanction successive and enormous extensions of their inland frontier. From the Dewanny grant down to the cession of the last Jaghire inscribed on the Company's books, the same course—as if im pelled by an overruling necessity rather than the am bition or intrigues of European chiefs—(allowing to these the utmost influence, even, which can be assigned to them)—has been pursued. The same results have followed. They have been contemporaneously de nounced by P.tt and achieved by Clive,—anathematised by Burke and strengthened and connected by Warren Hastings,—expanded by Wellesley and deplored by Roinilly and Whitbread; immensely expanded under the personal intervention of Lord Hastings and Lord Auckland, and deprecated and condemned, at home, by Canning and Lord Brougham. The truth is, that the merits of every Anglo-Indian Government arc a ques tion almost purely practical ; but they are treated as a I matter of mere speculative discussion. POST.—In modern times the philosOphy of free trade appears to have degenerated into- the blindness of bigotry. In pursuing mere freedom, men forget that there is a liability to excess, and that freedom itself ought to he exercised under the government of reasonableness and honesty. Freedom is an advantage, but net in itself virtue, and except under the due government of reason and justice it speedily runs into vice. Personal freedom, for instance, is an advantage which we can scarcely prize too highly, yet no man of sense will say that every one should go everywhere that his fancy may happen to lead him. The haunts of vice and profligacy ought to be avoided, and he must be either devoid of all reason or de. void of all morality who thinks it a denial of personal liberty that he may not visit gambling-houses, or keep company with persons of loose and disreputable charac ter. It is to be lamented that the lessons which expe rience has taught as to the wholesomeness of certain restraints upon personal freedom appear never to have been thought of as equally applicable to the " freedom of trade," which many people seem now to regard with a kind of superstitious adoration which they do not vouch safe even to religion itself. Freedom of trade is 2 yr,y good thing while under the restraint of moderatiowantl, justice, biit honesty of trade is a much better thing, for it cannot run into vicious excess ; and if its gains be less rapid they are more certain, and never can be a disgrace to their . possessor. That we are not note merely theoris ing every person conversant with business can testify. We can safely appeal to their experience for confirma tion of the fact, that ever since the superstition about free trade has gained possession of the public mind, there has been such an amount of reckless gambling and dis honourable trickery in affairs of business, as never was known before ; and patient, cautious, honest trade has been, as it were, cast into the shade by the more showy tricksters who make a dash at every thing. In the commercial article of our paper of Friday last our City Correspondent, with that zeal for honesty and fair dealing which distinguishes all he writes, commended one of the new regulations of the tariff of the Unite] States of America relative to imitative articles which are imported into the States. He said : "In the tariff which has just passed the two Howes of Congress, imposing 20 per cent. duty on imports heretofore free, we find a clause for the taxation of imi tations of articles-of traie at the highest ad valorem rate put upon the article imitated. This is an enactment that goes at once to the root of manufacturing adulteration, one of the most formidable vices of the age." Every man who thinks honesty and real value better than mere outside show will cordially agree in this sen timent. The passion for cheapness, which has grown up along with the cant of free trade, gives continual en couragement to this system of manufacturing adultera tion, and the honest manufacturer actually loses his busi ness, while they Who get up cheap things with an outside appearance of- gloss and finery upon them flourish and make money. They do so, not by legitimate trade, but by a combination of trade and trickery to which no man can stoop without a forfeiture, more or less, of honesty and conscientiousness. GLOBE.—We extract from a Norwich journal a pain-' fully instructive description of the interruption by a body of Chartists,' and consequent dispersion, of a public meeting of the friends and supporters of the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, at which Lord Wodehouse, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, presided. The readers of the Globe will remem ber that on many occasions we warned the Tory party of the danger of fraternizing with the Chartists, in the hope of embarrassing. and eventually overthrowing, the Whig Government. They rejoiced in the confederacy —recounted with delight the successful interruptions by the Chartists of meetings called in different places for the purpose of petitioning for the removal of adminis= trative evils, or for the diminution of fiscal burdens. By the unprincipled use they made - of the New Poor-law for mere party purpose, they fostered the pre judices and goaded the passions of the working classes, among whom dissatisfaction with the social system had been' extensively engendered by the deep and rapidly spreading distress which they experienced, and thus • prepared them for, the reception of those wild and de structive theorie s respecting property which :strike at • the very foundations of society, and would involve all classes in one common and inevitable destruction. The Tories were too much elated with the successes they I, t .ith el w e h tl ie b h y t . h a e id w of these au :diaries, to be induced to listen to the voice which • them of the facility scrupulous assailaenatpsoNnvsouulstel,dwaatbi accession of the Chartists ynneot(bdeissteainrtredgauyl,a be ea turned n u c n: against themselves. a o N t lr is e t s cautionedt their r t a h n e k T s r a i n e d s , that te th ad vantagese thus secured to them by the interruption of Re form and Free -trade meetings, ma were but temporary ; and that the addition thus mane etm . a nod a r ir. r t y n s . would speedily produce to their party strength eventually discomfiture 114,e teeth,no weakness, They persisted and in sowing to the wind, and the; reaping a n fi the ed " armed.whirl wind.r n e‘,2 whose. l e l d ' e h e t wind.

This their leaders did dc. STANDAHD.—In a rare h not conceal. which we quoted yesterday leoei the Gli:;e, are the following words__ With all the appliances and means to which we have alluded, with the application of the screw by the cob lector.; of the revenue to an unprecedented extent of severity, the increase upon the year amounts to the small sum of 118,14.81." When we quoted this passage we had a strong conviction that the screw had not been applied with unprecedented severity or applied at all by the pre sent Ministers, but we thought it Lest to rake sure upon the point ; more particularly as we were aware that great . dissatisfaction had been excited in more than one of the metropolitan districts, by the unusal urgency of some of the tax-collectors—the result of inquiry has realised our conviction. We are abk to state with perfect cer tainty, that since the accession of the present Government to qtfice,. the Treasury has issued no order whatever to ac.',-?grate the col'ectioz of the assessed taxes. If, there for, "the screw has been applied to an unprecedented extent of severity," as the Globe says it has been, and as we believe that it has been, the late Ministers are the parties applying it, and they -and-the-functionaries whom they have L'ellticatl4ed to their successors in offiar Must take all the ' responsibility for whatever in convenience and distress is produced by the system of rigour lately pursued in the collection of taxes. As we have had many complaints upon this subject we think it necessary to make the truth generally known, upon the just principle cuique suum. Lord 2.lelbourne and Mr. Baring must answer for the application of the screw, not Sir Robert Peel nor Mr. Goulburn, neither of whom has touched it. But in what a light does this view of the matter (and it is the true one) exhibit the late Ministers. At the very time when waving one hand in pathetic gesticulation to move compassion for the sufferings of the people. the other is, we find, furtively employed turning the screw, to extract beds and chairs, and tables, and wearing apparel from the sufferers, through the agency of the tax man. The Globe is our witness as to the fact that, during forty-six of the fifty-two weeks ending last Sunday, " the screw was applied to an unprecedented extent of severity," and many a ruined householder can tell the effect of the operation. This, however, is not the course that will be taken by a Con servative Administration. Such an Administration will not ostentatiously exaggerate the public distress for party purposes, nor will it aggravate that distress for official convenience. Wise men know that all deception is weakness in the. end ; and he is a shallow statesman who does not see thrt extreme rigour in the exacting of taxes leads to ultimate loss, by impairing those resources from which luture taxes are to be obtained. COURIER.—For some time past a report has been in circulation, that a worthy Scotch Baronet, not now in Parliament, is about to accomplish a feat which must rank high among the patriotic exertions for which his family is already distinguished. It is said that he is to close the bleeding wounds of the Kirk ; and to re store peace and harmony among the clerical com batants that have so long and cruelly torn her asunder. When we first heard this rumour circu lated with great confidence, and traced it to quar ters that ought to be well-informed, we (lid begin to think that there vsas a prospect of the venerable establishment on the north aide of the Tweed, continu ing. as it has long been, the honour and the boast of Scotland. But our hopes have been not a little damped by the accounts which we have within these two days received of the conditions on which this peace is to be brought about, namely, the sacrifice of the ministers of Strathbogie—the men who have so nobly fought the battle of civil and religious liberty, in the vigorous and undaunted stand which they have made in support of the supremacy of the law- of the land. Can this be ? we ask ourselves. Is there a man in England who will venture to propose to a British Parliament of the 19th century, that it shall sanction the exercise of spiritual powers by the Kirk, more arrogant and tyrannical, and more subversive of civil and religious liberty, than were ever claimed by the Council of Trent? Is there a Mi nister of the Crown of these Protestant realms that would dare to countenance such a proposal? Let there be "no mistake" as to the nature of this proposal on the part of English Members of Parliament. The Kirk has deposed from the holy office of the ministry no fewer than eight clergymen of the Establishment, because they had ap pealed, in a matter touching their civil interests, to the civil tribunals of the country; and the Kirk will agree to no measure for healing the divisions which this outrage ous assumption of power has created among her own members, unless her right to put forth these powers on every occasion she may see fit is recognised and con firmed, and as a preliminary to a Bill in Parliament, to provide for the future settlement of parishes in Scot land, which Bill is to be introduced or supported by her Majesty's Government—this right is to be .so acknow ledged. LATEST MANCHESTER BETTING. MANCHETER.-TUESDAY EVENING. THE MOSTYN MILE (TUESDAY NEXT.)—The advance of the Squire to 5 to 1. repeatedly taken, is the leading feature. 3to 1 was freely offered agst Lampoon, in one instance 7 to 2 laid ; 5 to 1 against all the Marquis's lot, bar her, and offered. 10 to 1 was laid against Satirist, and offered again. 20 to 1 was, early on, laid agains: the Squire winning the Cesarew•itch and the Mile, after 100 to 6 offered. 14 to 8, twice over, was laid on Iliona agst Welfare; the field agst three. We did not hear a bet laid on the Clearwell Stakes. The very latest accounts that we have received place Iliona as the winner. At the Post Office Hotel the muster was tolerable this evening, but no business. The demand for the Squire was "prodigious;" but not one offer was made. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCIIESTER.—There was a rather quiet market yes terday for most descriptions of yarn. The season for export to Russia being now at an end, the descriptions of yarn suitable for that market were in little request ; but there was a better inquiry for yarn suitable for the East Indies. Low numbers, both of water and mule twist, were also in demand for Germany, and the prices of these showed rather more firmness. The goods market was exceedingly flat, being injuriously affected by the unfa vourable political rumours in circulation, and some (19-„ scriptions, especially power-loom printing cloths, were' sold at lower prices. ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MoNDAY, OCT. 11.— The flannel market has been rather brisker to-day, oh account of a few of the manufacturers who undertook the late Government order, purchasing rather freely. The workmen are employed at present. but at extremely low wages. The Government order for half a million , yards of flannel was to be completed. at the beginning • of this month, and it is feared that work will then be come more scarce. There no change in the wool Market ; manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only, at the old prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, OCTODF.R 12. This was a dull market ; but, considering the unsettled state of the world, it exhibited a degree of buoyancy that can only be accounted for by the great variety of manufactures that are peculiar to this neighbourhood. Prices remain tolerably firm. Business in the ware houses continues pretty fair; and the mills generally are working full time. AN AMERICAN BRAVO. Benjamin Lett, whose name is synonymous with nearly every outrage that has been perpetrated on the frontier for the last three years, started for Auburn, at one, P.M., yesterday, in charge of Sheriff Brown and and constables GAtes and Smith. To prevent the pos sibility of escape the second time, Smith and Lctt were chained together, and to-night the latter will probably be safely lodged in his home for the ensuing seven years. Lett was born in Ireland, where he passed his youth, and cherishes an inveterate and hereditary hatred to the British Government. Of late years, until 1838, we believe, he resided in the Newcastle District, near Cobourg U.C. The cruelties that were inflicted upon his relatives, and the oppression of himself, by some of the provincial and military authorities, as he alleges, roused the tig er within him, and he swore ven geance . This oath he has kept, suffering no opportunity to es cape of wreaking his revenge upon the property and persons of those against whom he nourished so deadly a hatred, or of committing acts which he hoped would embroil this country and Great Britain in a war, and thus give him wider scope for satiating that passion, which seems to have swallowed up all others. Pos sessed of great tact and knowledge of men, extraordi nary adroitness, muscular power and activity, end un daunted courage, it is not surprising that he became a kind of rude hero in the minds of a certain class. In admiration of his daring, his energy, and directness of purpose, and perhaps sympathising to some extent with him in his hatred of British domination, they lost sight of the atrocity of his acts. While at large, he was in finitely more daegerous to the peace of the two coun tries than any other man on the frontier ; and all who desire a continuance of peace, or honourable war, if war must come, will rejoice that he is at last secured. His pers.;nal appearance is ordinary—such a man as you might pass a thousand times in the street, without noticing anything to excite curiosity ; and it is probably owing to the absence of those physical distinctive traits, which we are apt to associate with such a character, that he has so long successfully eluded pursuit. He is about five feet ten inches high, with rather light hair, and bluish grey eyes ; and it is only by close examina tion that one is able to discover the evidences of the remarkable muscular power and activity he is known to possess. Ater his arrest, and being properly secured, he bore the matter with great apparent equanimity, simply ranarking there had been treachery somewhere, and that be would " bide his time." The day before he was arrested, Sunday afternoon, be came over from Canada. Since his escape from the Sheriff of Oswego county, he has been to Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, but most of the time he has been lurking on the fron tier of this State.—Bzif. coin. ETIQUETTE OF THE ROAD.—The Oxford Chronicle mentions, on the authority of a passenger by the " Rival," Cheltenham coach, that that coach over took the Queen and Prince Albert, between Slough and Colnbrook. on Saturday week, when her Majesty sent one of the outriders to acquaint Mr. Trussler, the coach man, that he was allowed to pass, her Majesty being desirous of foregoing the usual etiquette, rather than prevent the due arrival of the coach. THE NELSON TESTIMONIAL.—The work men are proceeding actively with the pedestal on which the statue of Lord Nelson is to be placed in Trafalgar square, which has nearly attained its height, and attracts much notice. The new steam-ship Clyde, Lieutenant Wood ruff, lately built by Messrs. Robert Duncan and Co., of Greenock. one of the line of the Royal West India mail steamers, is expected to be ti: 1 first to commence running fl-om Southampton, which will be on the 15th proximo. The first point of arrival will be Barbadoes, whence the branch steamers will convey the Jamaica and the usual other island mails, as heretotime. Died, at the Fire Ways, Birmingham, on the 24th of September, in the eighty-seventh year of her age, Elizab.:,h, relict of Charles Stuart, Esq., solicitor, and daughter of the late distinguished Dr. John Roe buck, who, as the fotmder of the Carron Works and tliose at Prestonpans, the author of several valuable chemical discoveries, and the first patentee and original promoter of Watts's steam-engine, gave a great impulse to the trade and manufactures of Scotland. We believe Dr. Roebuck was the ancestor of the Member for Bath. There have this year been considerable impor tations of cheese from the United States. Six hundred American cheeses, of excellent quality, were sold last week at from 565. to 60s. per cwt., duty paid. The duty is 12s. a cwt., which leaves the cost price from 445. to 48s. After paying the duty, the cheese might be sold at krom 7id. to SI per lb. retail—Liverpool Times MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM VIE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TlMES.—There werz. none of those current rumours to affect or disturb the market which were so rife yester day, and which were in such singular conflict with each Other, although at the same time they all combined in producing an unfavourable effect. Among the members of the Stock Exchange who are supposed to hare been chiefly affected by the sudden depreciation of the vari ous Securities, business as regards the public having been flat of late, there was more confidence, and the result of it has been, it is thought, anticipated by the two failures, which have already occurred. That many will have to undergo a severe trial in the arrangement of their ac counts there can be no doubt, for the demand for money, should not the payment of the dividends meanwhile in fluence it, will increase the more rapidly as the settle ments approximate so nearly to each other. The settle ments themselves will be the true index of the state of the Market. Correspondents who have written on the subject of the tea trade and the speculation connected with it, all agree that it now bears a peculiar aspect, for notwith standing the exports from China for the season have been so large as to allow 18,000,0001 b. more of tea to be added to the pressnt stock, including the ships that have arrived with cargoes within the last two or three days, still the symptoms of the increase of speculation are for the rise. Many of the leading members of the trade were of opinion that this great increase of our stock would be sufficient to lower prices, which seems really to be the sound common-sense view of the question; but, nevertheless, there has been no reaction to the ex tent that was commonly anticipated on the receipt of this intelligence from China. The fluctuations that first took place on Wednesday morning last, on the appearance of our telegraphic despatch, caused a fall of 3d. per lb., Is. Bd. being the lowest point, but they subsequently rallied a trifle. On the following day, when the contents of the despatch appeared in full, Company's Congous, the " Tea Consols," suddenly ran up to 25., but again receded to Is. l Id. Since then prices have fluctuated between is. 9id. and Is. 10d. A correspondent, who is alive to the movements of the market, declares the present state to be wholly artifii cial, kept up.by interested parties, with a view to mo nopolise and preserve the article at a dear rate to the public. It will not be at all astonishing should a down fal among the speculators of this class take place, equal to that which has been experienced within the last few days in the Stock and Tallow Markets. In the mean time, those who cannot well bear the brunt of such revulsions should fortify themselves, if they are not altogether able to avoid them, by withdrawing from their circle. POST.—The English Funds did not maintain their opening value to-day by about per cent., but there has been less excitement than was the case yesterday and on Saturday. which leads to the belief that some difficult accounts have been arranged, and that the market will now gradually recover its former tone. At all events, the symptoms of an abJolute panic which were in the first instance abroad are no longer perceptible. Money for Stock Exchange objects continues scarce. We hear of as much as ten per cent. interest having been given, for short periods, even on the deposit of Consols, though, in a genCral way, the rates may be said to have ranged between seven and ten per cent. A case, connected with one of the failures noticed Yesterday, has been submitted to the Committee of the Stock Exchange. It appears that the principal of the broker alluded to, and for whom large sales had been effected, but who is in possession of the stock, has under taken on the names of the purchasers being given up to him to deliver the same himself. The creditors of the insolvent broker object to this mode of proceeding. but we do not see how the Committee can in reason interfere. The advices from Brazil are deemed more cheering, with regard to the mining operations in that part of the world; each account by the last three packets having exceeded the preceding one in point of importance. The latest despatch of all from the Cocass mines observes that, after an unsuccessful search of eight years, two valuable gold veins have been discovered. Such an an nouncement, at the end of so much unprofitable toil, is certainly very gratifying. The principal of the Portuguese failures to which we alluded yesterday was that of Mr. M. J. Soares. The house had the London agency of the Bank of Lisbon, and was at one period in the enjoyment of a high degree of credit. The assets immediately available are said to reach 50 per cent. of the liabilities. It is added that there are, moreover, important dependencies abroad out of which a further sum will be realised in diminution of the general claims on the estate. A failure at Ilamburgh that was talked of has probably not taken place, though enough has been made known to warrant the apprehen sion of such an event. CHI4ONICLE.—We have lately remarked that the Bank of England is again placed in a position of difficulty from the deficiency of the last harvest. We say the last harvest ; but perhaps it would be more in accordance with fact to say the pre sent harvest, fur it is by no means concluded yet in the United Kingdom ; and we regret to add, that the opinions we have previously expressed as to the short coming of the yield, both in quantity and quality, are now fully borne out. The monthly circular of the Messrs. Sturge states that " the windinc , up of the liar- Vest " in England " is exceedingly unfavourable," and " that the crop will not only be very deficient in quan tity, but also very inferior in quality." Under these circumstances the price of good wheat is rising in the face of an impot tation of 1,950,000 quarters, and large importations will be again called for in the spring. The extent of the further supplies is not - spoken of with . weal precision in the meantime ; but the lowest com putation is 1,000,000 of quarters, and, i❑ all probability, we shall hare 9 .000,000 of foreign corn imported, as be tween October, 1841, and the crop of 1842. Now, in October, 1838, after the result of the deficient nature of that year's crop was ascertained, the Bank of England stood thus : Circulation. Deposits. Bullion. At Oct. 16, 1838, £19,359,000 £9,327,000 £9,437,000 At Sept. 14, 1841, 17,481,000 8,052,000 4,975,000 Difference £1,578,000 £1,275,000 £4,462,000 So that the Bank has little more than half the same amount of gold now as in October, 1838 ; while there is a very material diminution in the deposits. Looking at these plain facts and figures, and to the prospect of extensive orders for foreign corn in the spring, it cannot but be clear to every one that the position of the Bank of England is by no means satisfactory. It was not until the month of March, 1839, that the bullion was sensibly diminished after the bad harvest of 1838 ; and it is in accordance with precedence and probability that a similar demand for gold wi,ll be experienced in the spring of 1842. Unless .the gold and deposits re ceive a very great increase during the winter months, the Bank could not resist a drain similar to that which took place in 1839 for more than eight or ten weeks ; and thus we see that while on the one hand the Bank in self-preservation is compelled to keep on the " screw" upon the currency and to keep money tight, the establishment itself, on the other hand, is exposed to imminent risk of bankruptcy- by the existing Corn laws at the approach of every harvest. The health of the institution has been seriously damaged in conse quence, and nothing but a repeal of these laws will restore her former stability and power. It is not in the serious diminution of her bullion only that the injury has been inflicted, but in the withdrawal also of de posits, which In September, 1833, were , £10,040,000 In November, 1838, only 8,909,000 In April, 1839 In November, 1839 In December, 1839 In December, 1840 and even now they were last stated only at 8,052,000/. The Bank of En ;land, and consequently public credit, the trade, the enterprise, and commerce of the country, have all alike been crippled and enfeebled by the opera tions of this tax on food. HERALD.---It is strongly reported in the higher circles in the City connected with East Indian affairs that to-morrow is the day when a formal communication will be made to the two chairs, as the chairman and deputy chairman of the Board of Directors, are designated in familiar parlance, of the intentions of the Government in regard ,-to the future government of India, so fur as the nomination of a new Governor-General to relieve Lord Auckland. It will be learned with some surprise, perhaps, that, according to the report in circulation, and believed to rest on good foundation, the Noble President of the Board of Control, Lord Ellenborough himself, is to he presented for approval to the Board of Directors, and, on their ratification of the nomination, will forthwith transfer his services from this country to India. It may not be improper to add, however, that in the City this reported appointment does not meet with so much favour as might be desired. Not, indeed, that the ability of his Lordship is doubted, and assuredly in that respeet nothing can be more favourable for him than the opportunity of contrast with a predecessor not peculiarly gifted that wa y, but usually reckoned a rather heavy and quiet personage, however otherwise respectable in a more private capacity. But there is a lurking fear that the meekness and moderation of Lord Ellenborough may not be equally conspicuous in his re ported elevation as in his present post. The distance of his sphere of action necessarily frees a Governor-General to a great ext en t front the direct control to which in any department o f t h e G overnmen t at home lie would be amenable, and th e am biti o n of playing a great part in an empire so vas t, and among tributary or rival princes equal to gr ea t E uropean S overe igns in the extent of their territory, and the number of their subject populations, has heretofore dazzled and led astray men otherwise of strong minds and acknowledged capacity, equally with such moderately-qualified functionaries as Lord Auck land, from whom therefore more modesty and less lofty aspirations might reasonably have been looked for. India is now in that state of exhaustion and financial embarrassment that repose, and withdrawal so far as practicable Within the limits' f eie Indus at least, should be considered and meanfadopted for the end. as of imperious necessity. In case of Lord Ellenborough's appointment taking place Lord Vesey Fitzgerald is, as reported, to be President of the Board of Control. SUDDEN DEA TH.-04Tuesday morning Capt. S. B.. Grilling, the master of the New York pac ket-shi p f, Montreal, now 1j in;; , in the St. Katharine's Doc k, wa s found dead in his cabin on board that vessel. Dr. Brown opened a vein, but no blood flowed, and it was evident he had been dead some time. The deceased was about thirtyfive years of age, a skilful and experienced mariner, and had been in command of the Montreal and other liners for many years. For some time past he had been labouring under asthma, and was su b j ect to fits o f co ughing, and, to allay the pain, it is said he was in t he habit of swallowing l arge doses of laudanum. It is be lieved that he was attacked with a fit of coughing during the night, which terminated fatally.

The Lord Chancellor has issued the followin:; orler under the Administration of Justice Act : " GENERAL ORDER. " Tuesday, Oct. 12, 1341. " Whereas an Act was passed in the fifth year of the reign of her present Majesty, entitled An Act to make further provisions for the Administration of Justice,' " Now, for giving effect to certain provisions in the said Act for transferring to this Coart all suits and matters which, on the 15th day of October instant, shall he depending in her Majesty's Court of Exchequer as a Court of Equity, or under the special authority of any Act or Acts of Parliament, I do hereby order that every plaintiff and defendant in any suit to be transferred under the authority of the above-recited Act shall, on or before the said 15th day of October instant, name one of the sworn clerks of this Court to conduct and carry on and act in such suit as clerk in Court, according to the usual practice of this Court ; and, in default thereof, either party to the suit may cause to be served upon the other a notice in writing requiring the party served to appoint a clerk in Court within seven days after the day of service of such notice, which shall be left at the dwelling-house or usual place of abode of such party ; but if such dwelling-house or usual place of abode can not be ascertained, and affidavit shall be made to that effect, then service of such notice upon the solicitor who was last concerned for such party in the Court of Exchequer, shall be deemed good service.

"LYNDIMIZST, Chancellor." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. WALES BY and a Bench of Magistrates.) BUNCE V. RAY. In this case Mrs. Mary Bunce, the mother of Thom al Liunce, applied to the Court to release her son from his indenture of apprenticeship to Mr. Ray, the de fendant, a gold-cutter and jeweller, residing in Meredith street, Clerkenwell. Mr. Thomas appeared in support of the petition of Mrs. Bunce, and Mr. Chadwick Jones appeared for Mr. Ray. From the evidence of Mrs. Bunco it appeared that Mr. Ray was in the habit of advertising for appren tices—that her son Thomas, a lad between fifteen and sixteen years of age, went to him for six months on liking about a year and a half ago, and that subse quently he was bound to him, on which occasion Mrs. Bunce had paid a premium of 351. After he was bound she received instant complaints from her son of the ill treatment he received, and also of his having nothing to do, and in consequence she applied to the Court. On her cross-examination she admitted that the master had made frequent complaints of the boy's conduct, and that the boy had made no com plaints during the six months on liking ; neither had the master. Tkomas Bunce, the apprentice, said that although his master had five apprentices he had net work enough for two—that his master had never pat an article of jewellery in his hands ; that he was forced to sleep in the kitchen dm in a bed, with two other apprentices, in a small bed five feet by three; and that from July until Monday last the sheets had never been changed ; that the food given him was unaholesome and insufficient ; and that his master was in the habit of constantly using abu sive language to him, and bad on some occasions struck him. On one occasion a scuffle had taken place between himself and Mr. and Mrs. Riy, when Mr. Ray had attempted to cane him, and in the scuffle Mrs. Ray's fingers were jammel in the door. On his cross-examination, he stated that during the six months he was on trial he had made no complaint, but then his master had behaved differently. His master had more work at that time. 'Had called his master a sneak and a coward when his master had kicked him, but had never sworn at his master or called him a rascal or a blackguard ; never came home drunk. Will swear that the sheets we:c not changed once a month. They were certainly not changed oftener than six times in the year. They never had a joint except of a Sunday, but lived on salvages and saveloys, and bacon ; when he com plained, he had potatoes, and nothing else, given him the next day. He generally dined with his mother on a,Senday. He had never struck Mr. Ray. Had on one occasion toll one of the apprentices to call a cab and drive his master to Bedlam because he was mad. Had broke a screw-driver over his fellow-apprentice's back ; that apprentice was here to-day to give evi dence for him. His master had taught him to cut ear-rings at the lathe, but that will not take a person many minutes to learn. It would not take five mi nutes to do it. Many persons did it the first time they were shown. John Wright, another apprentice of Mr. Ray, stated that Mr. Ray had not work enough to em ploy one person, that he was very seldom in his work shop, and generally went out in a day. He corrobo rated the evidence of Bunce as to the insufficiency and bad quality of the food, the sleeping three in a bed, and the filthy state of the sheets. It was over his back that Bunce had broken the turn-screw. On his cress-examination he a Imitted that be had been taken by his master before the Magistrate at Hatton-garden. Re-examined—He had done the diamonding on the lathe as done by Bunce, the first time he hail tried. The apprentices did not dine with the master. Robert Wright was the father of the last witness. Bunce had dined and spent the evening at his house on the occasion on which Ray bad accused him of being drunk. All they had had was one quart of beer among seven of them. Had frequently complained to Mr. Ray of the manner in which he had treated his son. When his son was at Hat ton-garden in last Ja nuary, witness had complained to the Magistrates of the boy's sleeping three in a bed, and of the dirty sheets. Mr. Ray did not deny that the sheets had not been changed from October to January, end the Magistrates had reprimanded Mr. Ray, and desired him to alter it. It had not, however, bren altered since. Elizabeth Giddins, the mother of another of the ap prentices, corroborated the evidence as to the state of the sheets, &c. Usher cross-examination she admitted thather sonhad left Mr. Rny, and was now at home, although he was not mit of his time. Mr. Ray would not cancel the in dentures unless she would enter into a bond that he would not set up in his trade tin. it he was twenty-one years of age. Mr. CHADwIcx JONES addressed the Court for Mr. Ray, and contended that the real object of the peti tioner was to get the indentures cancelled, in order to enable the lad to earn money for himself, and that th• apprentice himself had behaved in an insolent, idle, disorderly, and improper manner. Mr. THOMAS said that all the boy wanted was to be taught his trade. Mr. WALESBY having exacted a pledge from the master that he would teach the boy his trade properly —►hat he would take care that they should no longer sleep three in a bed—that the sheets should be changed more frequently, and that he mould not treat the biy harshly, dismissed the petition. ROBBERY IN NORTH SHIELDS.—On Friday night, between six and seven o'clock, the shop of Wil liam Blackwood and Son, silversmiths, in 'Tyne-street, was robbed of four gold and silver watches, worth above 100/. The robbery was effected by some ono outside cutting a corner out of one of the panes, large enough to get a hand in. While this was going on—although in the most public part of the town, and on the side of the street that is always throng—Mr. Blackwood's attention was taken up inside by a man who was looking at some seals, who kept him attending to him till, no doubt, he saw the robbery was effected. He took Mr. B.'s attention from the window by repeatedly bating him down in the price asked, and ringing his money on the counter, to cover the noise of the breaking of the glass. Up to this time we have not heard whether any persons have been taken up for the robbery. This is unfortunate for Messrs. Blackwood, as they have been robbed to a large amount before. This, we think, is sufficient to satisfy the public that we have not a sufficient police.—Tyne 'Mercury. PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF BEN JOHN SON.—This humbly born man, with the badge of the" hod and trowel" fixed on him by his enemies—twitted with ambling " by a play-waggon in the highway"—with a face held up to ridicule as being " like a rotten russet apple n•hen it is bruised," or "punched full of eylet-holes, like the cover of a warming-pan"—described by himself as remarkable for " his mountain belly and his rocky face," with " ono eye lower than t'other, and bigger," and, according to the same authority, " wont to wear a coat like a coaclunan's coat, with slits under the arm pits"—this uncouth being was fur a quarter of a century the favourite poet of the Court— one that wrote masques not only for two kings to witness, but for one to perform in—the founder and chief ornament of clubs where the greatest of his age for wit, and learning, and rauk, gathered round him as a common centre ; but, above all, he was the rigid moralist, who spared no vice—who was fearless in his denunciation of public or private profli gacy—who crouched not to power or richest but who stood up in the worst of clays at real mac. POLICE INTEL!. =ENCE. MANSION-,HOUSE. A young woman named Ethi\a Bed. preposses,ing appearance, and between 16 and 17 vears of age, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE under the following circumstances. Mr. William Wood, horse-dealer and livery-stable keeper in Cammomile-street, stated that the girl had been in the service of his family since Thursday last. On Monday last he came home at half-past one o'clock to dinner, and had just sat down with three friends from the country, and was helping them, when in ran a young man named Philips, with the alarming intelligence that the house was on fire. Upon going up stairs he found that the room in which he and his wife slept was on fire, but water having been got as speedily as possible it was soon quenched. The bed and furniture were destroyed. He (witness) had only just returned home, and upon questioning Mrs. Wood as to the probable cause of the tire, was told by her that no candle had been above stairs since eleven o'clock on the preceding night, and the matter was quite wrapped in mystery. On Tuesday morning Mr. Perry, the surveyor of the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, examined the house with him, to try to find out the cause of so ex traordinary a thing as a fire in the bed-room at such an hour in the day, and they ob served in witness's daughter's room, which was next to that in which he and his wife slept, a flock mat tressAwhich would not burn, had been on fire, and that a small part of the bed clothes had been burned. The bedstead of his daughter was boarded, and between the boards and the bed it appeared the fire had been. Sus picion was excited by the circumstances, and increased by the conduct of the girl, who complained of being ill on Tuesday morning-, and expressed a wish to go home to her mother. On the Monday night she had endea voured to get permission to go home, as she was fright ened, but she was not allowed ; and on the subsequent morning, when she was evidently anxious to leave the house, witness desired a young man to watch her, and while Mrs. Wood was making an inventory of the goods, she took her shawl and bonnet and ran away. She had not, however, gone many yards from the house when she was brought back, and when she returned she said, " Why, I did not set the place on fire." Witness placed her then in the custody of a policeman. After a lengthened series Of questions from Sir Peter Laurie, and answers from the girl, Mr. Wood, Mr. Perry, the surveyor to the Royal Exchange, and others, it ap peared that there was no just ground for imputing the slightest blame to the young woman, and she was con sequently discharged. She expressed the utmost will ingness to appear again when required. BO TV-STREET. Alfred Fre►►ch, the young man who was brought up on Tuesday charged with embezzling money, the property of Mr. Wild, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre, was placed at the bar this morning for further examination. The depositions taken were read over, and the only further witness against the prisoner was, Mr. Giles Higgins, a friend of Mr. Wild's, stated that he was going into the pit of the Olympic Theatre on the night in question, and observed that the money taker's box was empty, and the witness took possession of it himself. On examining the till he found that the money was gone, and immediately gave information to an officer of the flight of the prisoner. He then returned to the money• taker's box, and received the money from parties visiting the theatre. After the performances were over the witness went into the treasury, and shortly afterwards the prisoner was brought in, in the custody of an officer, and he gave up a bag containing the money he had abstracted to the witness. This wa►s about twelve o'clock, and the witness counted the money and then sealed the bag. There was SI. 17s. in the bag. The prisoner was then taken to the station-house and searched, and 2s. 6d. found upon his person. Witness sent the sealed bag to Mr. Wild, and it was delivered to the office. The whole of the depositions having been read over to the prisoner, he was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Edward Hopwood and Joseph Jones., the former 10, and the latter 12 years of age, were charged with having been concerned in stealing a sovereign and a quantity of silver, the property of Mr. Young, a fish monger in Whitecross-street. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Hopwood had been in his service as errand-boy for about a fortnight, and his parents were decent, hard-working people. On Friday evening last, feeling rather fatigued after the la bours of the day, he retired into a parlour behind the shop in order to take a nap, but on awakening soon af terwards he found that his pocket had been picked, and that the prisoner, whom he had left to attend at the counter, had gone away. The money taken from his pocket amounted to a sovereign and about 18s. He im mediately apprised the boy's father of the occurrence, and the latter used every exertion to trace his son, which lie succeeded in doing on the preceding - evening. The father of Hopwood, who was much affected, said that he had been in search of his son ever since the rob bery took place, and he at length met him in a street near his own house, in a deplorable condition. He took him home and taxed him with having committed the robbery, which he at first denied, but on receiving a promise that he would be forgiven if he told the truth, he confessed that he had taken the money, and said he had been instigated to do so by the prisoner Jones. He stated further, that after absconding with the money, he met Jones by appointment in Smithfield, and they took a cab for the purpose of proceeding to Gravesend, but before they got half way there, the cabman put them out, and made them pay 12s. 3d. for the journey. They travelled on to Gravesend in a waggon, and on their arrival they shared between them the residue of the money, which was soon spent, and the boy Jones after wards gave him the slip, He made his way back to London alone and on foot, but he was afraid to thee his master or return home, and he had since been wandering about the streets. The father of Hopwood added that he communicated the particulars of his son's confession to the master, who gave him into custody, and the other prisoner was afterwards appre hended by a policeman. The prisoner Jones denied haring taken any part in the robbery, or that he was aware of it until after it was committed. The MAGISTRATE said that he had no doubt they were equally guilty, and he should remand them for a week, to give time for the prosecittor to determine what course he intended to pursue towards them.
