SPIRIT OT THE LONDON JOURNALS. We insert two letters from persons employed either as masters or journeymen in the silk trade._ One of these purports to he from the individual named Wallis, who was reported to have informed the Spitalfielde meeting, on the au thority of Mr. institute an Fitzgerald, that Minister s would not an inquiry into the condition of the silk trade. Mr. Wallis now denies that be made any such com munication. We took the fact as it appeared is the report published i n an Evening Paper; eed if it be unfounded, we have only to regret that Ministers have nut furnished so equivocal a proof of their good sense upon this subject as we had, on the strength of the report, been induced to give them credit for. — There is another letter from, we suppose, an em ployer of journeymen silk-weavers, reiterating many of those assertions in regard to the decline of the t:ade, whici are, and have often been, vigorously denied by men of known respectability, one of whose statements is now before us, and publicly re futed by official documents. All that we can gather from his allegation, if true, is, that the profits of the silk trade have been lowered. He says that there are quantities of goods on hand. Very possible. The known fact that much new capital has been thrown into the trade, is quite consistent With the belief that the eagerness of speculation may have outstripped the consumption ; and, as has happened in every other branch of commerce, the field for which seemed to be extended by a change of law or policy, a temporary glut may have followed. How often has this occurred in the cotton trade and the woollen ?—and how much nonsensical jargon has assailed us on every such occasion, as if laws were to be made for no man's convenience but for that of the manufacturer alone. There is ere doubt that a considerable portiou of French silk has been smuggled into England, and we have reason to believe a still larger portion of English silk, manufactured iu imitation of the foreign, not merely to foil the smuggler at his own weapons, but to help the practice of making a poor month, and deploring the "fatal consequences of doing away the old salutary prohibition." Now if the wages of the silk-manufacturer have t been redu ced, and if the profits of his employer (which we beg leave to say is a mush more doubtful circum stance) have been lowered, we may regret the fart for their sakes, but for the sake of the public rejoice at it. There is no question whatever that better silks are worn now, and at a less expellee than worse ones were four years ago. Competition has succeeded to unfair preference, which is an in disputable public good, whatever murmurs is roily produce in " Milk-street ;" nor tan we retrain from ;wondering at the audacity with which these weuld be,monopolists persevere in crying out for a return to the former system of robbing the nation for their particular advantage. If the consumption of silks be governed by caprice or taste, instead of a neces sity for the supply of them, like that of beef or corn, the vicissitudee thence resulting ought to fall on the heads of those wilt; with their eyes opit here engaged in a liusiness dependent exclusively on farhian, and must not be made the subject of coin plaint against a law whose principle is, or ought to be, the comfort of the - consumer, that is, of the nation at large. We take it almost for granted that the head of the Board of Trade is far too well in formed to adopt the crude and shallow prejudice which would perpetrate the miserable reign of pro bibitione, and that the well-planned reform which 31r. Huskisson hid time only to begin, will riot be . overturned so soon after its foundations have been 111161 before its useful capacities have bed op ?ortunity ee be thoroughly developed.—Tithes. Ti, the article in the Edinburgh Review on Hal kon's Constitutional _History, we are told that " the conflict of the seventeenth century was maintained by the Parliament against the Crown. The con flict which commenced in the middle of the eighteenth century, which still remains undecided, and in which our children and grand-ehildren will probably be called to act or to suffer, is between a large portion of the people on the one side, and the Crown and the Parliesnent united on the other." It might be more correct to say Parliament, than Crown and Parliament, because they, in fact, con stitute but one and same power. " From the time , of the Revolution, the Howe of Contalons was gra dually becoming whet it :tow is—a great. Counsel of Mate, containing many members chosen freely by the people, and many others anxious to acquire the favour of the people, but on the whole aristocratical n its temper and interest . It is only at inter vele that the clamour on the subject (of Reform) is loud end vehement, But it sterna to us, that dur ing the remissions, the fei.ling gathers strength, and chat every seceessiNe burst is more violent than that which preceded it. The public attentiLn may be for a t i m e devoted to the Catholic Clairee or the Mercantile Code; but it is probable that at no very :distant period, perhaps iu the lifetime of the present ! zeneration, all other questions will merge in that which is its a certain degree connected with them all." The Kings of England endeavoured to protect the common people, that, by their aid, they might humhle the Barons. The Stuarts contrived to unite against themselves both Barons and pecy.e, and in the struggle were destroyed. Victory having de ,:lercd for the Barons, the Kings were reditcpd to the condition of an instrument in the hands of tics Oligarchy, neuescery, indeed, for the play of the Government, and requiring a share of the taxes for palaces and pageants, but possessed of not an atom of subgtanti-ie power. The. difference between the state of thing s now and in the middle ages is, that by the machinery of Parliament the Barons are vrabled to act in concert, which rendees them in reality more powerful; and that, instead of Fxercie jng their feudal privil ege . autocrat i ca ll y, t h ey et eei7ll them in, the shape of a commission from tins general body, 1. e. the Government. We are now, I therefore, pretty much in the state in whichtherefore, we were before all our stru gg les, exce p t t hat anarchy has given place to organization, which ren d ers the condition of the people the more hopeless. L take the case which I s ever y day forced on euertauts tention, namely, the disturbed state of Ireland. N o man who reflects for a moment on this subject Can hesitate to ccme to the conclusion, however much religious differences may, as an element, add to the difficulty of settling Ireland, the great cause of the Aril is the aristocratical government of this country, against the noxious influence of which there are no defences, as in England. That nearly the same phewomena would have been exhibited if all the inhabitants had been of one and the same religion, whether P.otestant or Catholic, we TIO more doubt than that we are now in existence. At whatever period we look into the state of Ireland , we perceive the population in extreme ruic,ery. In " Captain Rock Detected," attributed to the Bishop of Limerick, we find some valuable observations on this subject :—" In the year 1779," he says, " when Mr. Young published his Agricultural Tour through Ireland, it appeared that the acreable rent of land had doubled within the preceding 25 years. The prices of things had, perhaps, increased in something near the same proportion, but still not sufficiently 80 to prevent discontent and murmurs. Indeed it would appear that the population of the country, at that day as well as at the present, might be considered excessive; that is t o say, t h e quan ti t y of ground devoted to the purp oses of tillage (and thus likely to be distributed among a people who had no capital but their labour) was by ao means sufficient to meet the demand. This state of things will readily account for the rapid rise into conse quence and wealth of the persons termed Middle men. Capital was scanty, and labour was abate dant ; and accordingly there was little competition in the bidding for large farms, while those who ob tained the land could, by re-letting it, procure an enormous profit." He observes, " as far baclitentie can trace, I find the quantity of land which' was to be let out in small portions not s-ullieient to meet the demands on it;" and, high prices or low prico, it was always the same to - the wretched pee sant, whose situation placed him entirely in the rower of his §uperiore, Rua could not :posiibly be imptoiied. If we turn from the South to the North of Ireland, and from Catholics to Protestants, )ve find the same causes producing the very same results. When Irishmen speak of one county of Ireland as better than another, they nor the county of Down. Ie the Agricultural Report of that county, by the Rev. John Dubordieu, Rector of Annahilt, we find the numbers of people beyond the emount of land for them ; and the result, the same minute subdi vision. " The minute division of hinds," he says, " which so much prevails in this_ county, is owing to various causes. Many farms have been brought to this situation by the holders of them portioning each child with their share of the land ; others by the temptation of a profit rent--a much easier way of living than by labour—let off part of their lards to under-tenaete, that, on the expiration of the leases, were taken as tenants by the landlords, who thus answered two purposes ; one of providing for those already found en their estates, and the other of increasing their interest by the number of free holds. But front whatever cause this -division has arisen, it certainly has proved very prejudicial to Agriculture, and not very conducive to the general comfort of the class of men whom we are speaking of, as must be evident to those who have paid at tention to the situation of the country." The Bishop of Limerick says, that in 1824 e though prices were the same as in 1778, and the mode of agriculture nearly as bad as es ee, the rents are doubled ; and he very properly infers, that every increase in the c umber of the people, by increasing the competition, enables the landholder to sink the peasant deeper and deeper in misery. In the time of Young, every Irish labourer had a potatOe garden and a cow; the cow, he observes quaintly, is not gone " absolutely, only transmuted into a part of that increased ten? which the landlords are now enacting." If an indi vidual landlord were to say, I will not exact more rent than was exacted in 1774 , , he would merely place an intermediate landlord between himself and the working peasant. The state of the population determines the competition, the competition deter mines the rent, and a lower rent than the average one gives necessarily a profit rent. If an English farmer could obtain a profit rent, without labour or the investment of capital, he would be as much die posed to take it as a gentleman is to take his origi nal rent, instead of cultivating his land as a farmer, The reason why a profit rent cannot be obtained i s England is, that there is not the seine competition for land. Nay, the tendency in England, except in particuler situation?, is the other way ; and a entail occupier, even if proprietor of his land, is driven by the poor rates to quit his possession. We will ad mit frankly that the Irish Catholics have not more to do with the Protestant Establishment of Ireland than we have here in England. If the Establishment had not been a mere pretext for obtaining a certain share of the produce of the soil, and a clergy had been rip painted with a view to the religious instruction of the people, it is possible that the population might by this time have been Protestant. As we think that Protestantism has a substantial claim to superiority over Catholicism, we regret that Protestantisna in Ireland should have been disregarded, and that the Eetehliehment should have been made a mere aris tocratical job. But this Church jobbing does not affect the Irish peasant, except in the mode of col• lecting, more than it affects the Scotch Presbyte rians. We are all affected by tithes 2,72 a tax, and as corruptly expended tar the benefit of the govern ing body ; but the cause of die misery of the Irish peasant is the prostrate state in which he is placed with regard to his superiors. Any other than an Aristocratical Govermnent would, long ago, have interposed some check to the oppression of the poor. But the problem to be solved is, a motive to ope rate on an Aristocratical Government sufficiently powerful to indnee it to adopt such harsh measures towards a section of its body as may be effectual to protect the great body.of the Irish people. We are thoroughly of opinion of the Bishop of Limerick, that all plans for the improvement of Ireland, till the relations between Me peasant and the landlord are completely ehanged, will utterly fail. " There are societies (he observes) for the cultivation of waste lands ; turd of the propriety of their objects I have great doubts. If there could be any assurance given that the tearntry of these waste lands should grow so familiar with comforts that they would feel a dread and a shame of bringing children into a world where their portion is likely to be wretchedness, the lands might be turned to good account; but if the population of them is to be of the same kind with that from which the principal evils of the present day arise, then I think wise men should hesitate long before:they would, in order to procure a slight temporary relief, lend themselves to a measure which would be silently, but certainly accumulating the matceisle for future convulsions. But as to the agri cultural societies for improving the condition of the poor, they must fail, and they aught to fail ; be cause, while the rents continue what they are at present, the people distinctly understand, that for every new power developed iu them, an additional burden will be imposed upon them." The Bishop of Limerick has evidently a clear understanding as to the serious nature of the means by which alone the evil can be met. What he recommends amounts to P revolution in pn,perty ; and without such a revolution it will be impossible to aid the people. " If it be found on inquiry (Ile says) that the gentry have been the cause of our sufferinge, that the poverty of the people has been at once the coirsieuence and the cause of their multiplied op pressmns, what meesures ought the Government to adopt ? I think it should first be resolved to lighten the burden of oppressive rents, which are the primal obstructions to all hope of improvement. . . . ' The incumbrances affecting the estates of the Irish gentry would make this a ruinous measure to them; and therefore it would be just to en lighten all their incumbraneee, so as that they ;night bear to their diminished revenues no higher proportion than thee had borne to the nominal incomes of former years." An equitable adjust ment of this sort would be effected,. and can only he effected, through the instrumentality of Poor Rates, which would nut merely protect the existing generation from the ne cessity of that excessive competition which ie the cause of the enormous rents, but would tend, as in evitably as heavy bodies descend, to the increase of the siees of fat ms, and to the diminution of the num bers of the eerieultural population. But can we ex pect this ender a faovernment like ours ? Dare the Duke of Wellington prc.p,oso such a thing? Not he. If he were to venture beyond ttt: shifts and expe dients which are necessary to keep IT the engine which draws from the people the plunder tc be dis tributed among the body whose delegate he is, he would be sent to the right about in a moment. We d iu ecy , .. any rr ISh,.ilitei iie may . u s l te I to adopt scce any i in oney measure of effi ecarrying Catholic Emancipation, wo can believe; for that tonches not the Aristocracy.

Mtrusion s .— 'ceing undisturbed by Morning Chronicle. , We ment;oned that what was denominated a disagreeable public and general meeting of the Boliv ar Jl:fining Scheme was held 'on Wednesday , at the office in Great Wiershester-street, Old lekoad-strett, from which meeting reporters were excluded, they could prove themselves shareholders. This ec4e . sne, by having the name of Bolivar prefixed to it, Is Of , course a " liberal 'and patriotic scheme." It is for 'Eli - e'o6eF of Mankind that it has been established by its philanthropic founders; and it is exceedingly liberal in them to require reporters to become sharer ' holders, that their labours may be repaid by sharing in its golden ad vantages. it is true, some indiei duals might be ungenerous enough to suppose diet talc reason of preventing the proceedings of, the a meeting to be reported by any but persons ;do have a CO*l7?ibality of interest in the scheme with its projectors for the purpose of colouring highly the " prosperity" of the concern, for the gullable cupi dity of John .?;ull. Nay, there are people who will go so far as to say th a t, if those who concocted th e scheme ar e n ot a f ra id o f th e truth being told, th e y would rather the reporters were not shareholders than that they were, because they would pre fer their reports to be perfectly disinterested, and above suspicion. Peoi:le who entertain this notion will also not fail to observe that, during the rage of the Joint-Stock mania, in the ye ars 1895 and 1826, the public delusion and mischief were chiefly created and extended by purchased literary agents, who were presented with shares in vari ous schemes, or go t th em at c h e ap rates, and wh o , b y working th e p aragra ph- mac hinery in the v e n a l por tion of th e p ress , or b y falsifying reports, sp rea d t h e evil like a desolating pestilence over the land. Such observations, however, can hardly be deem e d appli cable in this case, as the 7olivar Mining Scheme im plies,r Jrnething of subli me an d by its very nam e , generous enterprise. We are, therefore, at a loss to discover what can have induced the patriotic Com pany to shut their doors against the Argu s eyes o f the press, unless the press would choose to put on its eyes the spectacles of self-interest, b e f ore i t b e allowed to look at their concerns; but perhaps those benevolent men practice concealment from that innate modesty that blushes, with painful sensibility, at the exposure of its virtuous deeds.—Morning Herald. A most important Meeting took place in Dub lin on Tuesday last. It was a proud and triumphant assemblage of the patriotic men who have taken the lead in the Constitutional Protestant Associations recently formed in all parts of Ireland. This re-union was all that was wanted to give to the Brunswick Clubs of Ireland the chareeter of one great, undivided, and indivisible National In stitution. It was indeed time for the Protestants of Ireland to unite in self-defence, when threatened with ruin and destruction ,in detail by an anti social confederacy of superstitious sieves, orga nized and commanded by ambitious bigots. This meeting of the leaders of the Constitutional Asso ciations will be a memorable epoch in the his tory of Ireland. It proclaimed and celebrated the emancipation of Irish Protestants from the threats of brute force, and the injuries of lawless combina tion. Henceforth we shall hear no more of the Popish Demagogues and Priests compelling their ignorant and deluded followers to confine their deal ing in trade to such persons as are equally ignorant and deluded with themselves. The Protestants of Ireland are now secure in the possession of means amply to compensate each other, abundantly to retaliate upon their foes, in the event of such an injury being attempted. Henceforth we shall hear no more of Protesta:st Lnudholders depen dent upon the fiat of Popish Priests and Dema gogues for the gathering in of their ripened crops. If those who exercise a spiritual and tem poral tyranny over the Papists forbid them to work for the wagea of Protestants, the latter will work the more vigorously and unsparingly for each other. Henceforth we shall hear no more of the Papists forming themselves into a separate com munity, since the Protestants are now prepared, if necessary, to do so likewise, and there can be no doubt which of the two parties would in this case be the greater loser. Henceforth we shall hear but little of the physical force of the Papists, since, in the event of a struggle, the Protestants are more fully prepared to meet them with a superiority of energy, intelligence, and good order, sufficient to ensure to the latter a complete, easy, and immediate triumph. The establishment of Protestant Consti tional Clubs has done more than any other measure in modern times to guarantee the peace of Ireland, since these highly meritorious and valuable institu tions cannot fail to damp the presumptuous hopes, to abate the overweening confidence, and to curb the hitherto unbridled audacity of the Popish Faction. We highly applaud the determination of this Pa trietie Association of Irish Protestants to lay at the foot of the British Thrnne a statement of the circumstances which have drawn together and ce mented them into an indissoluble union, of the oh , jeete which they seek, and of the means they intend to employ for their attainment. This proceeding was duo to themselves, and equally due to the Pro testant Monarch, of whom they are the most loyal and devoted subjects. The Protestant Sovereign of this Protestant Empire cannot but feel himself seated upon a Throne mere seeure, lofty, and magnifi cent, when he perceives this new manifestation of the spirit by which it is guarded and upheld.— To impart the consciousness of union, strength, and security, to the Protestants of Ireland, and to counteract and humble the Popish Faction, which has so long agitated, degraded, and enfeebled that country, are the first great objects of the Brun- wick Associations ; and it is not too much to say, that those objects are already accomplished by the very existence of such associations, in the power and splendour to which they have so rapidly at tained. By forming the point of re-union among Protestants, and furnishing the visible emblems through which they may pledge themselves to the country, and naturally to each other, for the defence of their Faith, their Freedom, and the Laws and Constitution, with which their faith and their free dom are inseparably connected, the Protestant Asso ciations have confetred en inestimable benefit upon the nation. But we do not believe that the benefit to be derived to Irelan from this source will end here. We expect this great and glorious combina tion of the wealth, virtue, and public spirit of Ire land, to engage in positive and active enterprises for the amelioration of the state of society in that coun try. For such enterprises Ireland presents art exten sive field, by the adequate cultivation of which, more effectually than by any other means, the Protestant Association may reduce the Popish Parliament to insignificance, withdraw from it the affection of all classes of the. people, and (such will be the :sure ef fect of crntrast) expose it to universal odium. — Morning Post. Great apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Redpole packet from Buenos Ayres, which h now more than a month over due, and has not been heard of since she sailed from Rio de Janeiro. Thirty guineas per cent. has been offered at Lt rria's as an insurance on this ve.sel, and refused. The onlv y ound of hope is, that the Redpole may only have sustu...d partial injury in a gale, which is known to have occurred in her course to his country about the period of her passing, and have put into Mao: port of the We►t Indies for repair. The wind', too, have been contTary for some time past, which may have retarded her arrival. Great complaints are made• among the merchants of the inefficient mariner in which the packet-srvice is conducted, since the rnaila have been carried by ships of war, under the management of the Go vernment. Many of the vessels are barely sea .worthy, and if a gala arises, zwe iris-aria:Ay placed in great jeopardy. A mistake of rather an awkward description occurred a few evenings since to a couple of youthful lovers, residing not fur from lagatestone. The unfortu nate swain, it appears, had incurred the displeasure of his mistress's father, who forbade him to enter his house, and laid a strict injunction on his daughter not to " pass the. threshold" without leave ; this she obeyed to the very let ter, but hit upon ex.pedieat to gratify her lover also, by breaking a square' of glass in the pantry window, through Irhi:-.h many "1t long, long kiss —a kiss of youth and lore," had been giren. Three times had the square beep re - placed, and four times had it been broken, whrn Miss at,- tributing it to the cats her father concealed himself iu the Place, in order to watch. About ten o'clock the lover ap proached, with a " slow and cautious step ," which the master hearing, ut iis face to the aperture, to ascertain who wag cooking ut that " unhallowed hour," and the wain, mistaking it f or hi s " sou l's softest treasure," sa luted him with the "heart`, taken." The whiskered face made him start. " ley Heavens (thoagiit lie) it is not you —it is somebody else ;" and soon the direful troth flashed upon hint, In the shape of the sturdy farmer and an o ld musket.

Poster, the Marshalman, charged a constable wit'r, having abandoned the watch-house in which he ‘l,s to serve for the night, contrary to the regulations of the Police-committee of the City of Loudon. The Marshalman stated, that the defendant was an extremely attentive and active officer. He (wit ness) had been obliged, however, in consequenee of the orders of the ward authorities, to report him for having left the watch-house, which was in contradic tion to the orders issued by those authorities. The defendant had been absent about a quarter of an hour. The defendantsaid that he really wasat a loss how to act. It was true the ward authorities had di rected that the night-eonstables should remain in the watch-house, but then the Act of Parliament ea• pressly directed that they should go round to see whether the watchmen were on duty. If, therefore, he obeyed one rower, he must disobey the other; and he hoped it would not be considered an unpar donable offence in him if he looked to the Act of Parliament for his chief direction. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, said, that the Commit tee ha'ing appointed superintendents of the watch, it was thought unnecessary for the constable' to go round ; and therefore the order had been issued, which did not tally with the words of the Act. Mr. Holder said that the constable had acted ac cording to the direction of the Act, and was justified of course in doing that of which he had been accused. The LORD MAYOR told the defendant, if his con duct was reprehended, he had only to desire those who reproved him to read the Act. A CutvEß DEPENCE.—Yesterday a man named Myer was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having been concerned in conveying from one place to another a quantity of spirits which had never paid the duty. An excise officer stated that he was passing along Fish,-strtet-hill, and saw the defendant and another man in a cart, which looked like a contraband ve hicle. He looked at the defendant, who was driving-, whereupon the defendant, who seemed to know his vocation, suddenly dropped the reins, leaped down, and took to his heels, as if a mad bull was after him. His companion leaped down and escaped, but the defendant, after a violent struggle, was apprehended and lodged in the Compter. In the cart which was thus abandoned there were five barrels, three of which were empty, and two contained about twelve gallons of spirits, which were, together with the horse and cart, deposited in the custody of the board of Excise. The defendant produced a witness, who, he said, could explain the whole matter, and show that the man who escaped must have been the person who was aware that the goods were run goods. " Why, your worship," said this rwitne s, " you see as how this man what run away was riding along in his cart, when Myer and I were walking ; and as I knowed him a long time, he says to me, Come up, blow you, and take a ride.' No,' says 1, I an't going your way,'which was towards the Borough your worship ; but' says I, my friend Myer,' who didn't know nothing about him, your worship, will go with you.' So he says to Myer, Well, come along, comrade;' and up Myer got, and so they went off together. So, your worship, you see he knowed nothing about the matter." (A laugh.) The LORD MAYoR—Aye, aat's a clear case. But what induced you to come here ? Witness—Why to clear that ere young man pointing to the de fendant), what's as innocent as myself. The LORD MAYoß—What was the name of your friend who ran away ? This puzzled the witness. " His name? why I don't know exactly. Let me see—ves it was ; his name was Picklesquia, your Lordship." " And where is he to be found," asked the Loan MAYOR. Oh ! I don't know ! I never axed him; but I know him as well as I knows any body. The LORD MAYOR—With whom does h e work ? Witness—That I don't know, your Lordship, tout I know he used to work with old Lucas, the bargeman. The LORD MAYOR—Why that's myself.—(Loud laughter.) Witness—Well, your Lordship, be used to work for you; but whether he works for you now, I can't say, I'm blow'd. The LORD MAYOR—And pray what are you, my friend? Witness—A brazier. I makes brass and copper utensils. An officer (in a stage whiiTt , r)—lle makes pr;- vate stills for these fellows to work with, my Lord. He works for half the private still•workers in Lon don.—(A. laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Oh, you are the still-maker, are you ? Witness—l don't remember no sue'l a thing as making private stills, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR--You don't remember! Re collect yourself—you make stills, don't you ? Wit ness—Not to my knowledge.--(Loud laughter.)—l work in the general line, and I make any thing in the brass line, but I don't know what you mean by 1 he LORD MAYOR— Upon my word, you shine in , the brass line.--(Laughter.) His LoRDsnIP then asked the defendant how it happened that if he was a stranger in the cart, he held the reins, and drove the horse?--" Why, your Worship," said he, " this here was the way. Yew I got into the cart, says the maw, says he, I'm blowed if my hands a'nt perished with the cold; do you hold the reins while I warm 'en, in twy breeches pocket.' So, my Lord, you see I took the reins, and lie soon afterwards, just as I was lashing the horse, leaped out all of a sudden, and I leaps out atcr him ; but I'm blowed if I krrowed any thing about the spirits."—(Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR fined the defendant 231., and sent him to prison in default of payment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a young man named William Godfrey was brought before Mr. CONANT, the sitting Magis trate, charged with the following robberies : Mr. I'e la Fontaine, a coach-plater, residing at No. 9, Archer-street, Haymarket, stated that about six years ago the prisoner had worked with him as an apprentice, but since that time he had seen or known nothing of him except having occasionally observed him of late lurk ing about the neighbourhood of Archer-street, but without taking any particular notice of what be was about there. About a fortnight since, his, Mr. De is Fontaine's, warehouse was robbed of ten or a dozen sets of collar-buckles, value aboHt 245. a set the selling price, and the collar buckles now produced were some of the sets so stolen. There was no way, the witness said, of getting at the warehouse, which is situate in the hack part of the dwelling-house, except by entetiag at the street-door or some other part of the front of the house. A female servant of Mr. De la Fontaine stated, that on one occasion, about a fortnight ago, just about the time of the robbery, she happened to go rather suddenly into the street-door passage, and there she saw the prisoner standing, and he said something which she now forgets as an excuse for his being there, and he went out at the street-door, by which way he must also have entered, but how or by whom he got it opened for him she could not tell. To the best of her recollection this occurrence took place two or three days before the robbery of the warehouse, c a d i t was l ate i n the afternoon. Mr. Radcliff e , a l so a coac h- p l ater , residing at No. g, Queen-st reet , G o ld en - square , s t a ted, that the prisoner had worked for him about three years ago, ! ? pt he had lost sight him altogether since that time. I,V4hiri wine w ee k s p as t seve..al robberies have been committed ill Lis Mr. RadeKe's ,Farehqusc, and a considerable quantity of property in his trade carried away at different times, but how or by whom these robberies were perpetrated he was totally at a loss to conjecture, until between one and two o'clock on Thursday last he heard the footsteps of some person corning up the stairs in his house, and on his going to discover who it could be, he found the prisoner conFcaled in his bed-room. The prisoner, on being questioned as to what brought him there, said that he had come to see ," Fred;'—that was a lad named Frederick; who had lived as an apprentice in the house at the time the prieoner worked there, hat who; as the prisoner well knew, had long since left there. Witness then sent for an officer, and de livered the prisoner over to his custody, on a charge of designing to rob the house. The " hame-clip," which is a part of the brass and iron fastenings of a harness-collar now prodnced, Mr. Radcliffe said was one that had been stolen from his warehouse, and a part of the property of which h►e had been robbed us he had stated; he knew it, and could positiveli swear to it as being his own nianuftteture, for it dif fered from those generally made in the trade. Ballard, one of the officers belonging to this office, stated, that he took charge of the prisoner on Thursday last, and searched him, but found nothing except a parcel of pawnbrokers' duplicates about his person. He questioned the prisoner as to where he lodged, but he replied that he had no lodgings any where, for that he slept about from one place to another, wherever lie could get a bed. In the course of the same day, however, he (Ballard) traced out that the prisoner lodged in a room on the ground floor of the house, No. 3, Jones's -court, Bainbridge street, St. Giles's ; and on searching this apartment, where the prisoner lived with a woman of the town, he (the ot3icer) found the hume-clip and the collar buckles produced, and he also found there the two skeleton-k e y s produced, one of w hi c h o pens with great ease the street-door of Mr. Radcliffe's house, and the other with equal facility opens the door of Mr. De la Fontaine's house; and the female with whom the prisoner lived admitted to him (Bale lie.d), that she always left the window of the apart ment partially open all night, that the prisoner might at any time get in that way with out b e i ng observed on his return after any depredation he had been committing. Mr. Radcliffe fluid, that he now recollected having seen tlat prisoner several times of lute about (bleak' greet and that neighbourhood, but he never for a moment suspected him of the robberies, until he found him in his bed-room. The prisoner declined saying any thing in his de fence, and was committed to Newgate for trial on both charges. Maria Butler, a middle-ageJ, decent-looking female, was charged with robbing her master, Mr. Fairburn, a bookseller, in Duke -street, Adelphi. It appeared that the prisoner had been about four months in the service of Mr. Fairburn as housemaid, but quitted him rather abruptly some days ago, since when Mr. Fairburn missed several volumes of books, quantities of soap, candles, &e. ; and on the lodgings of the prisoner being searched by Scofield, the officer, at No. 18, Exeter-street, Strand, all the stolen property was found in her box, which Mr. Fait burn clearly identified as belonging to him. Seofield also found two handsome watches and several sove reigns concealed under the prisoner's bed ; but al though Mr. Fairburn had little doubt but these were the produce of robberies upon him also, he could not swear to that fact, and this property was, by the prisoner's consent, given up to her mother, but she was committed for trial on the charge established against her, A youth named William Cotmne►ford, well known to the police Rs having been more than once tried at the Old Bailey, was charged with picking a gen tleman's pocket in the street, on Thursday evening. 3 Ballard, the officer, said that as he was passing through St. Martin's -court, Leicester-square, he observed the prisoner, whom he knew very well as an expert pickpocket, nianmuvring about a gentle man's pocket, and he kept his eve upon him for sonic time, until he saw hint extract the silk handkerchief now produced from the pocket, and ;,lien he laid hold on him, with the handkerchief in his possession. The gentleman had gone on some distance, not per ceiving that his pocket was picked; but he (Ballard) ran after him, bringing the prisoner along, and over took the gentleman in the square. Mr. George Howell stated, that the officer gave him notice, as he had stated, that his pocket had been picked, and he then missed his handkerchief from his coat-pocket, which he knew was safe a few minutes before the officer spoke to him. The hand kerchief produced is the same that was taken front his pocket, and was worth about Us. The prisoner in his defence told the thread-bare story of his having picked up the handkerchief from the pavement just before the officer seized him ; but he was, notwithstanding, committed for trial to Newgate, from whence, it seems, he has been only a very short time discharged. T. DUN STAN'S IN THE WEST. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the inhabitants of St. Dunstan's, Fleet -street s and the liberty of the nlls, was held at the inquest-room, ClitroM's-Inn, to take into consideration the Report of the Church Committee, appointed on the 24th of September last, to consider the best mode of repairing or re-building the parish church, and other matters thereto relating. Mr. SHEPHERD, the senior Churchwarden, in the Chair. The Vestry Clerk read the Report of the COM.. mittee. It stated that they had taken the requisite measures to secure the parish church from immediate dal:ger; that on the subject of a permanent pro. vision for the public worship, they were of opinion that the most economical and desirable mode would be to pull down the present church and re-build the same; that an opportunity would thus be presented of effecting a most important public improvement by widening Fleet-street, one of the principal en trances to the city of London; but as this would necessarily lead to the additional expense of a new site, the Committee must look for the aid of the Corporation and the public at large to effect these important objects; that they had laid the result of their delib erat i ons b e f ore th e Lord Bishop of Lon don, and that his Lordship was pleased to express his entire approbation of the measure, the leading points of which were detailed to him. Mr. HOARB (the banker) proposed that the Re port he received and adopted. After some discussion, in which severed of the meeting took part, the Report of the Committee was received and adopted unanimously. The thanks of the Meeting were then moved to tai:, Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair, and the meeting separated. A fine little girl, about five years of age, the daughter of Mr. Wrraritts, at Milton, near Wells, was burnt ti death on Friday, in consequence of its clothes taking file during the temporary abseare of the mother. Bath Chromi els. We cannot help calling attention to the state of the Strand i 1 rul of Fleet-street. The audacity with which loose woman asPail passengers at night in these great thoroughfares, is most disgusting awl frightful. No capital in Europe exhibits such scenes of scandalous profli gacy tti London. As to the persons who are carried cff by the wretched females to the brothels on each side of the streets above-mentioned, they do not know what awaits them : too frequently robbery and blows, an-I sometimes worse. The male associates of the unhappy creatures who pars the Strand and Fleet-street are universally house breakers, pickpoa - ets, and thieves of other descriptions.— Times. MATENCE, OCT. t'2.--'the definitive con: elusion, or rather the execution of the convention be tween Prussia and the Netherlands, for the. navigation of the Rhine, will not yet take place, becaule, as le; hear, fresh difficulties have arise❑ on the question wh o , ther the freedom of the navigation shall be limited to the inhabitants of the States situated on its banks, or ac cording to the treaties of Vienna and Paris, extended to all nations. The regulation of the free navigation of the Rhine, which has been delayed for 12 yews, to the great injury of all the States concerned, might be settled if the question were considered in a general point Of View, an d not made subordinate to local ei-ecurnstances, and to imaginary private interests. (The writer proceeds to shew at some length that the making the Rhine free for all nations woe I mot only promote, in a high de gree, the prosperity of the German States on its banks, but that of Holland itself, which would become again, as it was in former times, a grand depot of the merchandise of all nations. " Shool,l the light of truth," he concludes, "ever penetrate the Dutch atmosphere, the people in Hollers(' will he aitonished bow they can have so long deprived them selves and ethers of the advantages arising from the free navigation of the Rhine.") / ..._______- ah BIRTHS.
