.) flit''.. ' ment of the United Kingdom must be directed by 1 %"\: peopl ayhoyie merit it is, that they know nothing of Zi Bud "Ostrenothing for Ireland. Admirable qualifica tions; o doubt, for judges I The Duke of Welling ton must yield to the invincible stupidity of the Oli garchy, in whose service he is : and if they say that he must be guided by people who know nothing of, and care nothing for, Ireland, well and good. But surely things are not arrived at such a pass yet, that he must yield to these political Sages a nong the rabble who entertain the en lightened views above alluded to. Ireland must he cared for, whether we will or not. The wise Men of Kent may not he able to see the connection between the distracted state of Ireland and the heavy demands of the tax gatherer ; but there is not the less a firm connection ta,tween them. And were the existing burden caused by Irish misgovernment all, as we know the worst of it, we might go on lending a deaf ear; but the Duke of Wellington knows that Irishmen make as good sol diers as Englishmen—Catholics as good as Protest ante. Nay, lie knows that our army is at this mo ment more Catholic than Protestant. As to the re giments in the South of Ireland at this moment, more men in them, in many cases, are seen entering the Catholie Chapel than the adjoining Pr.testatit Church on a Sunday. We were very mucl. amused with an argument used by the Standard, to enhance the importance of the supposed triumph in Kent.— " To the vagabond order of the community—black. legs, gamblers, bagmen, fiddlers, mountebank politi cians, and gentlemen of the press, it demonstrates that however professionally liberal or latitudinarian they may be, the possessors and occupiers of the land still love their Constitution, their country, and their religion ; in a word, that thought the surface of i:ociety may be here and there deformed with the dirt of the city, the manufacturing is of the high road, the subsoil is free from pollution—that they who constitute the military strength and furnish the resources of the State—they who constitute tho na tion, are to a man English and Protestant." This is the sort ef argument urged by Colonel Roche Fer moy, to ; , !..)ye that Catholic Ireland is stronger in a military sense than England, as more than half of the population of England are engaged in trade and ma nufactures, and he refuses to manufacturers military efficiency. But we shall return to this.—Morning Chronicle. MR. SHEICS SPERCll.—Respecting Mr. Sheil's speech, about which so much has been said, we un derstand that it first appeared in the Sun Eveniwg Paper, and that it was printed at about half-past eight o'clock ou the evening of the day of the Kent Meeting. Now the distance from Maidstone is nearly +0 miles : it would have to be written Gi.t and composed, and yet it was printed at half -past eight, and numbers Were sent off express, in order to overtake the mail coaches en the various roads. That Mr. Sheil must have given his speech written out to the Sun there can be no doubt, and that they despatched the Sun paper in the way mentioned there is no doubt ; end that it was the speech in tended to have been spoken by Mr. Sheil we have no doubt; but that it was not the speech he spoke there is also no doubt. What the people in various parts of England will think of this we know not ; or what good effect it will have on the " Catholic Cause" we cannot guess. We have heard that such was the noise and clamour while Mr. Sheil was speaking, and so weak his voice, that it was almost impos sible to hear him at all. The Catholie party could not have done a more foolish act than to take a Ca tholic flag to wave over the head of Mr. Sheil. What would he thought of one of our violent Anti- Catholic speakers, if he had proceeded to Ireland with a party of Anti-Catholics, and had appeared at a meeting of Catholics, either in the north or the mouth of Ireland, and such party bad carried with them an Orange flag, and had waved it over the head of an Anti-Cati , olie while he was speaking ? is it not likely *.,at the tia would have been torn to pieces, and the ipeal , or Ilerhaps killed ? The voice of the people of t against Catholic Emancipa tion—nine pet pie -at of ten are against the granting of Emancipation ; they are, necessarily, Anti-Ca tholics by educai ;on. The people of England are taught, from their iufaney, to detest Catholicism— to hold it in the utmost ..bhorrenee. lhev are taugh to believe that it is a " damnable and idolatrous religion." The mother instils such ideas into her child—the nurse when she attends her charge. The school-master instils into his yllolars hatred to Ca tholici,m. Hatred to it is preached from the pulpit. At College, too, a hatred of it is taught. In fact, a man must have lived to the age of half a century be fore he can at all get rid of the impressions against Catholicism that he has imbibed from his youth. Under such ciicunistances, therefore, of education, how could Mr. Shell think of adventuring, at a Brunswick Meeting too, a speech in favour of Ernati zipation, and especially with a flag new to the people waving over his head—a flag of defiance, as it were. A grewcr act of folly could not have been committed. It would have been a curious thing if the speech, as Mr. Shell spoke it, could have been given, with an account interspersed of theyells and in terruptions of the multitude. We are no enemies to Emancipation if it could be effected in such a man ner as that hereafter there could be no collision be tween the Catholic and the Protestant Church in rel pect of the tithes and such good things. At the very root of Catholic Emancipation are a score of ')srristers, all hungry for places in the Government, ,t7d the setters on of the barristers are the Catholic Clergy, all anxious to have secured to themselves salaries that would be certain, instead of, as at pre sent, being paid by their flocks voluntarily. This is the true state at present of the Catholic agita tion. .Lord Plunket said, " a provision fop 14e Catholic Clergy." Lord Plunket is a lawyer, and a favourite word with lawyers is the word pro- Yision. There is not a word more used and abus...d ' than the wzrd " provision." England , yeighed down with provision, o f a great variety of kinds. She aught to have no more " provisions" added to her load. T o tax the People o f E ng l an d extra to ! pay the Cat holic Clergy Il —we often wonder how Lord Piunket could think such a thing would pass. .--Alforning Herald. is a maz i ng l y An Evening Pap er of yesterday anxious that the Meeting of the County o f which terminated so happily and satisfactorily for its side of politics, should be followed up by simila r ,Meetings of other counties. " We call upo n the country," says it, " to emulate the example which the Men of Kent were induced to set, from the sympathy we assured to them of their Protestant fellow subjects ;" and then it goes on to inquire, " Why should Somerset be silent ? If it cannot boast aIC chbull, it may be proud of a Lethbridge. Why should Devon be dumb ? If it can look for no help from its representative, it can at least afford him a hint. Why should Dorset be backward ? It has a Bankes in its service. Why should Gloucester be nnheard ? It has a Beaufort to speak in its nam e, Why, should York, Lincoln, or Derby—Why should Cambridge, Bedford, or Buckingham—Why should any County from Cornwall to Northumberland, or from Carnarvon to Norfolk, be deaf, timid, or indifferent ? They have all at stake,and the power to secure it; and again we call upon them to redeem the pledge which we have given in their behalf, that they ha! - 2 too muc h spirit to permit the men of Kent to strug le for the Constitution unassisted or unrivalled."— natchbull is certainly a great man, and though our evening cotemporary makes a difference between him and Sir Thomas Lethbridge, we are really of opi nion that the difference is withcolt a distinction, and the distinction with out a differenc e. Both are mighty men in their way, " ar c a des ambo et cantare P ares," as our cotemporary is fully aware . and• i f the one has shown himself to be " a burning and sinning light" in Kent, there need be little doubt that the other will shine with equal brilliancy, w k en opportunity offers, in the county of Somerset. But we fear that Sir Thomas has -become some what imbued with the Ministerial doctrine, " that something must be done for Ireland ;" and con sidering that Hunt would be present to face him at any Brunswick Meeting which - he might ori ginate, we are strongly inclined to question the pos sibility of exciting his constitutional ardour even by " a perusal of the beautiful graphic sketch of the Kent Meetieg which the Courier has given else. where," from the pen of the political quack of the day. Brunswick Clubs, in fact, few as they are in number, and impotent as they are likely to turn out, quvad the question of Catholic Emancipation, do not seem to be so easily got up as our cotemporary imagines. Though the victory was claimed by them at Penenden Heeth, it resembled so much one of those Russian engagements, in which thirty or forty Cossacks make :breakfast, only, of two or three thousand Turks, that a similar risk is not likely to be incurred. The Chiefs of that Meeting know full well that they had only the satisfaction of claiming the victory—that the numbers, as well as the argument, were on the side of the supporters of Catholic Emancipation—and that it would be ex tremely hazardous, if not totally destructive of the trifling success which they have gained, to try a similar experiment. Our cotemporary, however, appeals to every county in which the illiberal faction is supposed to possess a strong hold, as if its cry would rouse them to action. But we give them credit for greater wisdom than to listen to it. They have nothing " at stake," and they will not there fore move; they will wrap themselves up in their .self-importance, and pretend that there was no use for bestirring themselves, because there was no hope of success crowning their labours. A greater folly or a greater nuisance, in fact, than these Protestant and Catholic Clubs there does not exist, or ever did exist, in any country ; and we are not a little astonished that the Duke of Wellington has not in timated to them how wholly unconstitutional they are, and how insulting to the Government over which he presides.-31orning Advertiser. Our contemporaries who labour in the cause of Popery affect to ,entertain apprehensions, or shall we not rather say, hopes, that the Catholics of Ire land will rush at once to the desperate extremity of rebellion, now that by the vigorous and deter mined spirit of English Protestantism they find their inordinate expectations defeated, and the less direct enterprise in which they have been 8o long engaged against the British Constitution baffled and put down. In this apprehension we do not partake. In proportion as the expression of Protestant opinion in England is unequivocal, so is the apprehension of any dangerous popular movement in Ireland diminished. We urge, therefore, upon the mere grounds of immediate policy, and with a view to se cure the public peace in Ireland, that Brunswick Clubs should be instituted until they pervade the whole of this Protestant land ; and that the inha bitants of every one of our counties should forth with be called upon to express their sentiments in accordance (as we know they are in accordance), with those which the assembled freeholders of Kent have so strongly and triumphantly proclaimed. Por what does the whole history of Ireland attest, but that the Papists, umier the influence of their Priests and the demagogues whom their Priests employ or patronize, add continually to their demands, and to the violence and fury of the insolent menaces by which they seek to enforce them, in a degree cor responding exactly with that , of the apparent or supposed prevalence in England of the spirit of coneiliation, and with the apparent or sup posed laxity of principle in the English Govern ment ? Every man in England who suffers it to he supposed that• he is favourable to the in erease of Popish power in the British Govern ment stimulates the spirit of insurrection in Ireland. Let it once be shown that the British nation is as unanimous and decided as we sincerely believe it to be in fact, in opposition to the pretensions of the Papists, and from that moment, whoever speaks or thinks of a Popish insurrection will be taken even in Ireland for a madman. Visible and manifest una nimity upon the subject among Englishmen is the true panacea for Irish turbulence and discontent. These spring from the perpe• d irritation of delu sive and irrational hopes, and are sure to be extin guished as the hitter are dispelled. But if we are to have a Popish rebellion in Ireland, according to the apprehensions or the hopes of the advocates of Pepery, we do not hesitate to say is us have it now. The friends of the - Prottsvant Constitution of the Empire are fully pri-v.m. to ree.r are: crush it. If the Papists e-e now (li-posed to rebel, in order to secure seats le Parliament, or upon the Bench of Justice, to su:r men as Shell and O'Connell, still more, after these are conceded, will th(. be disposed to rebel in order to secure the substantial power, wealth, and autho• city of the Primacy of Ireland to some such man as Dr. Doyle. Here may be found the ground-work of a popular and therefore dangerous rebellion ; and it is evident that should the way for a rebellion of this sort be prepared by concession to the Papists now, the Protestants of the Empire would then be less prepared, both ice spirit and in means, to resist it, than they now are to withstand any efforts that can be made to extort compliance with the actual intermediate demands of the foes of our sacred Church and our inestimable Constitution. The progression of Popish demands, a progression interminable, or terminating only in the forcible suppression of every other religion than that of Popery, is the necessary consequence of the exclu sive and persecuting tenets of the Roman Church. Emancipation, Ascendancy, Monopoly—a monopoly to be enforced by the faggot and the sword, as it has always been enforced--are but successive stages in the career of the Romish Church. The fierce per secution by which she once strove to defend her de clining power, is but a feeble type of that by which she would again strive to re-establish and con solidate her authority. The spirit and the prac tice of persecution have never been extinguished in her bosom, or become obsolete in her prac tice. In her strong holds, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, they reign 'as paramount as ever, anti appear occasionally to be dormant only for the want of victims. In France and some other countries, where she retains a nominal autho rity, she has assumed a character of mildness, because, by the extravagance of her tenets, and the atrocities of her practice, she has surrounded herself with a nation of infidels, yielding no more than a simulated obedience to her sway. In all the countries where Popery is tolerant, it is evident that there exists between her and her votaries no other connection than what may be fairly described as a reciprocal interchange of conventional decencies. Would this be the case in Ireland should Popery there acquire the ascendancy ? The idea is prepos terous. The Popery ascendant in Ireland would be the Popery of Spain, Portugal, and Italy, with this difference only, that in Ireland, during better times, a rich holocaust of Protestant victims has been prepared for its superstitious and sanguinary grasp. —Aloe ning Post. We must catition our readers against reposing any credit in the alleged despatches or intelligence from `. erne which informed us last night of the capture of that town by the Russians. We do not Affirm that the letters that have been received from H an -weigh were fabricated in that city, for they ma y have been fabricated in Berlin. We do not asse rt that Varna has not fallen--that the news o f it s fall is an invention —that the letters are forgeries; but this we do % assert—they have every appearance of being so. e put n o f a i t h i n them for y the following reasons :— F irst. Th e news w i th which we are favoured by the wayboefdellaernbirgh is rare ly, under any circumstan ces, to on. It i s not many mouths since we were amused,pndeta . and some of o ur contemporaries w were delighted and astonished, with victory said to be gain e d over the details of a grand the Turks by the Russians on the Danube. The accounts were undoubtedly true, with this exception, tion, that they referred to a battle foug h t about the close of the last century. Second, We do not .5 be lieve this news, because it is impossib le, at this sea. sor, , or any season of the year, to convey intelligence from Varna to Berlin, in twelve days, consideri n g the nature of the route. For some time the road from the former place by Brailow to Berlin has been obstructed, the Turks .tee in straggling parties o n both sides of the Danube, and consequently tra eellizig in that direction. by Russian courers is im practicable. Hence way it that we were nearly a month without any accounts from the seat of war via Brailow and Berlin. The only Russian accounts we procured came by Odessa, to which place they were transmitted from the seat of war by sea. We have no reason for believing that the roads by Brailow have been opened, and therefore we can come to no other conclusion than that this news, to be true, must have come by Odessa ; and if it came by Odessa it cannot be authentic, so far as facts and dates are concerned, for it is impossible to complete the express by this route la 17 days to London.. —Third. This intelligence is undeserving of credit because it is contradictory and inconsist ent. One account, said to be received by the Russian Embassy, states that the Turks were in duced to make a sortie for the purpose of facilita ting the entry of reinforcements and supplies, when a sanguinary and successful attack was made upon them, and Varna carried at the point o f t h e bayonet. The other account, which is evidently of Hamburgh or Berlin manufacture, states that on the 7th instant " the Russian corps, dozing the night, penetrated into the city, and surprised the Turks"—that Vey were so much alarmed that they threw down their arms, and abandoned the town. Neither of these accounts is satisfactory—both can scarcely be true. Fourth. Neither of these accounts is reconcileable with that of the last bulletin of the 2d October. In that document it is stated that the Turks had thirty thousand men in an entrenched camp on the north side of :Varna, who had, in a de structive battle on the 30th ult., defeated the Russians, killed several distinguished officers under Prince Eugene of Wirternberg, and compelled that general to fall back. In these accounts from Ham burgh no mention is made of this corps, and the troops in the garrison are reported only at 6,000 men. Supposing that the Turks had lost three thou sand of their original garrison, that they had re ceived no reinforcements, and that consequently the I whole force in Varna, amounted to about 9,000 men, could this small force have resisted the Russians for nearly two months ? It is absurd. And yet we must believe this, or believe that the remainder of the Turks found in the fortress after its surrender, satd to be 6,000, is a fabrication like the other parts of this conflicting intelligence. These, therefore, are our reasons for disbelieving the intelligence from Berlin and Hainburgh by the steam-packet, which had been put on board after the packet had sailed. Varna may have fallen, it is not impossible, Adrian ople may be in ruins, and Constantinople burnt, nei ther of these events are impossible, but the manlier in which this capture has been communicated, and all the circumstances connected with it, leave us to hope and believe that the account is a contemptible fabrication.—Morning Journal. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Orr. 28. RX-PARTS lIROIILRY, IN RE LITCIIFIRI,D, A BANTR/1.7. Mr. ROSE stated this to be a petition of appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chancellor, who had dis- Missed a former petition against the commission, without hearing the other side. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if there was not an indictment for conspiracy now pending? Mr PEMBERTO?i, who opposed the petition, said there was; but it was the wish of both parties, and it was the interest of the party he represented, that this petition should now be disposed of. Mr. ROSE then stated the facts of the petition. Mr. Bromley, the petitioner, had certain tide-deeds of the bankrupt's as a security fora loan he had made to him. He afterwards arrested him for a further advance, and while he was in a lock-up house under that arrest, the circumstances took place which led to the present application. They Were detailed in an affidavit made by - one Brooks, who stated that he had been applied to for the purpose of procuring bail to Mr. Bromley's action, for the bankrupt. That in consequence of some difficulty in getting the bail to justify, a meeting was appointed between Brooks and Edwards, the bankrupt's attorney, which took place at the back of the Elephant and Castle, where Brooks informed the attorney, that one of the bail was then an uneerticated bankrupt, and that conse quently if he should be opposed, he could not justify. —Edwards then said, the bankrupt was very de airous to avoid committing an act of bankruptcy, by remaining in custody, and that Brooks suggested if he was to be a bankrupt at all, he had better be made so by one of his friends, and asked if Mr. Dunn, the other bail, who had already gone some lengths to serve him, would not strike a docket. Edwards said, if he would, he (Edwards) should have the working the commission, and appointed to meet Brooks at the lock-up-house, where he said Dunn would be with the bankrupt. They met afterwards at the place appointed, when on its being pro posed to Dunn that he should strike a docket, he said he could not, for that the bankrupt did not owe him a shilling. Some further conversation ensued ; Dunn said if a bankruptcy could be effected, he would go as far as 1001. to serve Litchfield, and dis appoint Bromley. Edwards, upon this, undertook to search the Bankruptcy-office, and left the house with Dunn for that purpose. Soon afterwards a commission was issued, in which Dunn was the pe titioning creditor. Is was this commission that Mr. Bromley sought to b:,ve set aside, on the ground that it had been fraudulently concerted, and the evi dence upon which this was attempted was that con tained in Brooks's affidavit. Mr. KNIGHT followed on the same side. Mr. PEMBERTON opposed the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR dismissed the petition, with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr. 28. THE. KING V. JEEFERIES AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants, Joseph Jefferies, Henry Jefferies, and John Millet, for a conspiracy to defer.: the recovery of a judg ment debt of 524-/. against the first named defendant Joseph Jeffories, by removing and secreting his property. The Jury pronounced all the defendants Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Oct. 28 PARTON V. HICKMAN. In this action the plaintiff sought to recover a sum of upwards of GU, the balance of his bill for work and labour done as an attorney for the defend ant. The defence was, that the plaintiff had be trayed so much ignorance, and had bee►► guilty of so much neglect in the proceedings which he had been employed to conduct, and which had terminated un favourably to the defendant, that he was riot entitled to recover any thing in compensation ; bat the evi dence upon this point not being solliciently strong to satisfy the Jury, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COFFIN V. MORRIS. This was an action to recover 34/. 15s. 6d., the amount of the plaintiff's bill for lodgings, necessaries and cash, furnished to the defendant's wife, who had been deserted by him. The case was undefended, and witnesses on the part of the plaintiff proved that all the different items of the bill had been supplied. The LORD CHIEF JumcE, however, told the jury, that although a man who had turned his wife out of doors was liable to pay any debt she might contract for the necessaries of her existence, yet he was not responsible for loans of money. They would, therefore, deduct the advances of cash which made a part of the present claim, and return a verdict for the remainder, the whole of which appeared to have been contracted for mere necessaries. The Jury, under this direction, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 20/. 16s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Hannah Abbott, the wife of James Abbott, the leather-dresser, who was convicted at the Old Bailey, on Monday,of maliciously cutting and wound ing her, attended before Sir PETER LAURIE, yester day, to beg his signature to the form of recommend ation to the Governors of the Philanthropic Institu tion, for the admission of her three children. She had been informed that if she could obtain the sig natures of the committing Magistrate, and of the Judge who tried her husband, there. would be Uccle doubt of success; and, she said, as soon as her chil dren were thus permanently provided for, she should endeavour to obtain a situation in some family. Sir PETER observed that she looked much paler than before, and asked whether she had quitted the hospital. A person who accompanied her explained, that she had left the hospital about a fortnight, and had since resided at St. Dunstan's workhouse, with the exception of the last two or three days. Mrs. Abbott was now lodging with her, but she was not able to maintain her. Abbott had formerly worked as a journeyman with her husband, and the wife had washed for her family. In answer to some further questions put by the Alderman, Mrs. Abbott said she could not yet turn her head about freely, and on one side of it she felt a numbness and partial deafness, but she could still obtain at the hospital any assistance that might be necessary. Flaying signed the letter, Sir P. LAURIE, in dis missing her, gave her 55., and recommended her to Mr. Blades, of Ludgate-hill, one of the Governors of the Philanthropic Institutien. Daniel Hill, a drover, wearing the badge of No. 433, was fined 10s. at the instance of Rome, one of the Smithfield officers, for ill-treating a bullock, by striking it with violence upon the hock, on Mon day last, in Smithfield. BOW-STREET. Yesterday John Frost, a travelling brush-maker, was placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of having, murdered Daniel Homer, another travelling brush maker, whose mysterious disappearance since the morning of Friday last, coupled with other circum• stances, has given rise to the present aecusatiou. It appeared by the evidence of the landlord of the Hope public-house, Blackmoor-street, Drury-lane, that on the morning of Friday last, the missieg man, Daniel Homer, left the public-house at ten o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the prisoner and another itinerant brush-maker, for the avowed pur pose of going to Southampton. At eleven o'clock the same morning Homer returned to witness's house alone ; he was a good deal intoxicated, and after re maining for about half an hour asleep upon a bench, he suddenly started up and said he would be off. Witness's wife told him that he should not go unless he left his money behind him, as he was incapable of taking care of himself. Homer then took 2Gs. 6d. from his pocket, and gave it to the landlady to take care of for him. He asked her, however, for a few shillings, and she gave him half-a-crown. He then went away, and since that time has never been heard of. On the night of Monday the prisoner and some more brush-makers met at the publie-house above named, when the strange disappearance of Homer became the subject of conversation. The prisoner said " The rascal is dead, I know he is ; we ought to spend the 18€. he has left at the bar." Frem these words, which it appeared were spoken under the in fluence of drink, the prisoner was taken into custody on suspicion of having murdered homer. The prisoner denied that he knew any thing what ever of the missing man since Friday morning, when he last saw him. They had been drinking together, and he (prisoner) had lost upwards of 21. in a house of ill fame, where Homer and he had been. Mr. HAus said that there did not appear any suf ficient evidence to warr u.t the detention of the ac cused, who was discharged on condition of leaving his address at the office. The accused having stated that he resided at Bristol, was discharged, and thus the matter rests for the present. It will be remembered that a few days ago, an elderly gentleman, who declined to give his uame, waited upon Sir R. BliotiE and Mr. HAW, for the purpose of stating to them that he had been knocked down the previous morning between one and two o'clock, in a passage leading from Arundel -street, iu the Strand, to the Temple. The gentleman stated, that he was met by four men, one of whom darted upon him and knocked him down ; the other men then dragged him into the passage in question, and robbed him of Bank of England notes to the amount of 3601. The gentleman added, that the robbers had cut open his trousers with a knife, and that the instrument had wounded him severely. Upon this statement, James John Smith, one of the principal officers, was directed to take the case in hand, and yesterday Sir it. BIRNIE asked him what was the result of his inquiries ? Smith stated, that from all he could learn, the gentleman must have been mistaken with respect to the manner in which be described he had been robbed. He (Smith) had seen the conductor of a party of the Thames police, who stated that himself' and three of his men had been stationed in the im mediate neighbourhood of the spot described by the gentleman, from half-past eleven o'clock until half past two, on the night in question. The officer added, that such a circumstance as that which was described could not by possibility have occurred unknown to himself or his men. Smith stated the probability was, that the gentleman had been robbed iu a house of ill-fame in the neighbourhood, arid that motives of delicacy towards his family (being a married man) induced him to conceal the fact. Smith added, that on the very day the gentleman had been robbed, a young man was brought to Marlborough-street police-office, under circumstances of very strong suspicion that he had improperly come by several Bank of England notes to a large amount, which were found upon his person. Smith urged the gentleman who had been robbed to go forward, for the purpose of ascertaining if the notes found upon the prisoner were those of which he had been robbed. The gentiman, after some hesitation, declined to do so, alleging that he had not taken the number of his notes ; and that, at all events, he had rather not go forward, as the publicity which his ap pearance at Marlborough-streett, might obtain through the newspapers would probably alarm his friends. Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS both agreed with Smith in concluding that the old gentleman had been at a house of ill fame on the night in queation, and that he had lost his money in that way. His declining to give hi, nu.ne, and to gc, fortratd when a chalice was presented of his recovering his pro perty, confirmed them (the magistrates) in tha opinion. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a stout portly-looking man, respectably dressed, named Thomas Burton, was brought up in custody on the following charge : Mr. Everett, landlord of the Cock and Magpie public-house in Bermondsev-street, stated that on the preceding afternoon the defendant entered the parlour of his house, and having inquired whether he could be furnished with a good substantial dinner, arid the answer being in the affirmative, the cloth was forthwith laid, and a smoking-hot roast joint of beef placed on the table before him, with the usual accompaniments of vegetables, &c. The defendant having made a dinner that would not have disgraced a city epicure, afterwards washed it down with three pints of porter, three pints of port wine, and by way of a " settler" to stay his stomach, finished the re po- and drinking, , he ormiamelf,=•l•o4 .

The land. lord was then about to leave the room for the pur pose of calling a constable to take charge of the de fendant, when the latter rose off his chair, swore at and - the host, and ultimately struck him in the face. With the greatest difficulty this turbulent spirit was safely deposited in the watch-house by four watchmen, who were obliged to carry him on their shoulders a:I the way, after havir, handcuffed him, and tied his legs together with a handkerchief, to prevent the blows and kicks which he threatened, before they put him in ,confinement. The watchmen complained that they had a terrible job with him on account of his beinr so large and unwieldy to carry along to the vvatc; . ;-house, which, they said, was a good mile from the spot where he was heisted on their shoulders. The defendant, who had been dozing in the slip the whole of the morning before the case was called, now got up, and having shook off his drowsiness in some measure, he was asked by Mr. HONE what business he followed ? The defendant replied that he was a watchmaker, and resided at Hackney. Mr. HONE—What was the reason you came over here to impose on this poor man ? " I," said the Magistrate, "conceive the offence of which you have been guilty very little short of robbery, to enter the man's house without a penny, and well knowing that fact, to devour such a quantity of meat and drink, to say the least of it, plainly shows you are an abominable glutton." The constable stated, that when the defendant was brought to the watch-house, he said, that he should soon discharge the debt for his dinner, wine, &c., if any person was sent to Mr. Rawlings, the landlord of the Black Swan, who would instantly advance any sum that he required. The constable added, that he proceeded to Mr. Rawlings by the defendant's directions, and the moment he stated the latter was in custody, and wanted the loan of Its. 6d. to obtain his dischal-ge, Mr. Rawlings expressed his sutprise at the defendant's presumption, saying, that he already owed him three or four scores for dinners and drink that he had ordered, had partaken of, and never paid. The constable said, that he had subsequently ascertained the defendant was in the habit of entering houses of entertainment and calling for dinners and wine, without money to pay for them. In some places he got roughly handled, and in others he had been turned out into the street. Mr. HONR—ThiB S:count shows that he is an Old practitioner at the brisiness; and a fellow of this description deserves; exposure, to guard honest men against such knaves. The Magistrate then asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant, yawning, said, that he scarcely knew the nature of the charge brought against him, for he was rather hard of hearing. Mr. HONE told him he was charged with eating and drinking as much at one meal as would have satisfied the appetites of any three reasonable arten, without paying for it. Defendant—Mr. Everett has told a very long yarn about my appetite for meat and drink. I can't stn myself that lam such a gormandia - ee. I admit the I am indebted to him for a dinner and wine, and wi i ?ay - him when I fet the money. Mr. Hor n s--I shad take especial care that Toe Yy- something more before you get out of custody. ou were not content with having devoured Mr. Everett's eatables awl drinkables without paying for them, but you afterwards assaulted him when he claimed what was his due. Mr. Hone then having consulted with Mr. King, remarked that he and his brother magistrate awarded the defendant to pay a fine of 31., arid in default of payment to six weeks' imprisonment. The defendant not having the above sum at his command, or friends to advance it, was sent off to gaol with the rest of the prisoners at three o'clock. SHIPPIN G INTE I.L IeENCE. LIVERPOOL.
