MORNING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The Tories boast of the great things they have done for the country in the way of financial reform. They appeal to the list of taxes taken off by Tory . Governments between 1815. and 1830, and they say, with an air of triumph, See what a prodigious deal we have done for the country in comparison with the trifling reductions effected by the Whigs. Before they boast so much about taking taxes off, perhaps they will have the goodness to tell us who put taxes on. The Tory party came into office with Mr. Pitt, in 1784, and remained, with a few short interruptions, in exclusive and undisturbed possession of power until November, 1830, or for a period of s:early fifty years. When they took office the entire expendi ture of the country did not amount to 20,000,0001. ; when they left office it amounted to 50,000,0001. During their fifty year; Administration the National Debt in creased from 26000,000/. to 800,000,0001., and the annual charge for interest from 9,500,0001. to 29,000,000/. During the twenty-two years of war with France—a war entered into and persevered in to forward the political views of the Tory party, and which brought with it no recorepence in the shape of additional territory or commercial advantages, the enormous sum of 1,500,000,000/. was expended by Tory Administrations. Of this sum it is not too much to sty that one-half was lavished without any useful result as regarded the prosecution of the war, in subsidies to Foreign Powers, Walcheren expeditions, absurd plans of defence, petty attacks on insignificant West India islands—and though last, not least, sinecures, pensions, and provisions, for every description of titled pauper and hanger-on of the Tory aristocracy. In addition to the actual expenditure, Mr. Pitt's Sinking Fund juggle, and his finan cial blunder of raising his loans in three per cent. stock in stead of borrowing at the market rate of interest, entailed on the country, as may be demonstrated by the strictest calculation, a permanent charge of not less than 6,000,000/. a year. So much for the blessings of Tory finance ! But to come to more modern times, let us examine the boasted per formances of the Toriessince the peace, in the way of financial reform. At the conclusion of the war in 1815 the Tory Go vernment had a gross revenue of 72,210,0001., the produce of taxation, upon which to operate. The interest of the debt amounted to 32,000,000/., and the current necessary expenses of the country, as has been proved by the experience of the , last ten years, need not have exceeded 18.000,000/. a year. Here, tlien, was a reduction of 22,000,000/. a year, which might, and which ought to have been effected. Was anything of the sort proposed by the Tory Government? On the con trary, they endeavoured to continue the war-taxes, and mus tered all tieir strength to resist the repeal of the property_ tax, which was proposed by the Liberal Opposition, and carried against Ministers by a narrow majority, Instead of reducing the current expenditure of the country to 18,000,0001., Much there was nothing to prevent, they con tinued it at the average rate of 22,500,000/. from 1817 to 1828, and opposed every motion brought forward by the Liberal party for a reduction of salaries and estimates. From 1816 down to 1822, no material reduction of taxation was effected. In that year the Whigs proposed and carried, against the Tory Government, the following measures : 1. The repeal of the Salt-tax. 2. The repeal of the Leather-tax. 3. The repeal of the Irish Window-tax. 4. The reduction of an additional Is. a bushel on the duty en malt. They also carried, against :the strenuous opposition of the Tory Government, headed in the House of Commons by Mr. k Pee!, motions for the reduction of salaries in the Admiralty, and for the abolition of the sinecure place of Joint Post master-General. In consequence of these defeats, the Govern ment came forward in 1823 with a reduction of the Assessed taxes, and the duty on Scotch and Irish spirits. In 1824 and 1825, the state of the Revenue admitted of considerable reduC- Cons, which were warmly supported by the Whigs, who also proposed the repeal of the window-tax, of the - duty on soap and candles. and further reductions in the assessed taxes and beer duties, in which they were defeated by the Tory Government. In 1826, the Whigs made several fruit less attempts to introduce greater ecuncmy into the army and navy estimates and the diplomatic expences. At length, in 1829, the first serious attempt at se trenchment was made by the Duke of Wellington ; and in the course of that and the following year economy was pushed to an extent beyond which the Tories unanimously declared all advance to be impossible. • Instead of taking so much credit for these tardy reductions, perhaps the Tories will tell us why they is - .-re not made sooner. If it was possible in 1829 and 1830 to confine the current expenditure of the country a 'min the limit of 19,000,000/. why was it allowed t,, amain from 1817 to 1828 at an average amount of 22;00,000/ ? If the reductions pressed for by the Whigs had been carried into effect when originally proposed, the country might have been saved an annual burden of 3,500,000/. for twelve years. Perhaps, when the Tories next compare their achievements as financial reformers, with those of the Whigs, they will have the goodness to take into account the following items ;- Ist. 42,000,000/. of taxes paid by the country between 1817 and 1828, because the Tories refused to adopt reti ench meats proposed by the Whigs, and subsequently proved to be quite practicable. 2d. Property-tax Salt Malt, Is. a bushel Leather £14,000,000 1,295,01* 700,000 300,000 £16,295,000 Of which the repeal was resisted to the utmost by the Tory Government, and carried sole:y by the efforts of the Whig op position. Let us now look at the financial policy of the Liberals as a Government. In 1830 they came into office, after a Go vernment, which, as the Tories asserted, had carried retrench ment and remission of taxation to the utmost po: , ible point, and which left them no efficient surplus. The Times, it is true, in an article full of elaborate misstatements, ha'l the hardihood to assert that the Duke of Wellington's Administra tion left a surplus of 2,667,000, but this is a mere fallacy, occa sioned by leaving out of account the taxes taken off in Mr. Goulburn's last budget. Lord Ashburton's estimate at the time was, that instead of a surplus, Mr. Goulburn left behind bim a deficit of 330,0001. In the course of ten years the Li beral Government repealed the following taxes : Printed Cottons... £55(1,000 Coils and Slates fX)0,000 Candles 500,000 House-tax . ... 1,200,000 Soap Duty, one-half 593,000 Tiles, hemp, drugs, marine insurances, advertisements, small receile stamps, insurances on farming stock and farm houseseland-tax on personal estates, pamphlets, newspapers, almanecks, paper travellers, clerks, overseers, and eleopmen, tax-carts, windows in farm-houses, shepherds' dogs, starch, flies glass, spirit licenses, and various reductions in minor • articles of the tariff, being chiefly gums, dyes, oil,, and other raw materials used in manufactures, making the sum total of taxation remitted by the Whigs (after deducting • j 379,0001. of new taxes imposed) amount to 6,236,000/. In addition to this reduction, the rate of postage • - has been lowered to Id., by which measure the number of letters has been increased three-fold, and an amount of accom modation afforded to the country, for which, under the old sys tem, they wouldhave had topay 6,000,0001. annually in postage. In consequence of these reductions the country has paid on the whole 50,000,0001. less in taxes since 1830 than it would have had to pay if the scale of revenue and expenditure fixed by the last :and most economical Tory Government had been maintained. This relief has not been effected by increasing, the, permanent burdens of the country, but the contrary. De ducting the 20,000,0001. paid for negro emancipation, the total amount of debt funded and unfunded is now less by 4,500,0001. than it was when the Whigs came into office in 1830. The retrenchments which have been effected below the Duke of Wellington's maximum standard of economy, in salaries, pensions, miscellaneous expenses, and the cost of collecting the revenue, exceed 1,000,000/. The relief of 7,000,0001. annually given to the country in the re mission of taxation, has occasioned a loss to the revenue of only 2,000,000/. And, finally, to close the contrast between Liberal and Tory finance, a necessity having arisen, owing to political circumstances, of increasing the naval and military eltablishmehts of the country, the Liberals, propose a scheme which would add 2,000,0001. to the revenue, not only without entailing any additional burden on the country, but actually by relieving it from a heavy charge in the shape of taxes ,ndi rectle levied for the benefit of monopoly-interests—the Tories %rise this ,cheme, and resist any attempt to introduce free tr.v2.e,pi;inciples into the tariff, under circumstances which ren der the ititeSori of merenerbleiiquivalinte in as naau:y . words, to a determination to impose new direet taxese• • POST.—The adherenti of the present beaten Ministry pro , claim throughout the country that their friends are'the chana, pions of free trade, while 'they assert on the. other hand that the Conservatives are the bigoted adherents of all sorts of ab solute 'monopolies. It is not enough to say of such statements that they are exaggerations. They are falsehoods, and it is •of great' importance at the present juncture that the public should Understand what the real truth is as respects these matters. Th e truth, then, is, that' neither the beaten :Administration, nor the Conservatives who have beaten it, are 'champions of free trade. The difference be. tween them consists in this, that the Ministerialists, becauseof the do while they profess. absolute free -trade theories, not dare to carry them into practice, rain which would be brought upon existing interests; but the Conservatives possessthe theory that the principl es o f f ree trade are not applicable to a nation in the circumstances of Great Britain, or to 'any other nation where the population is greit in proportion to the demand for labour, and where very large amounts of capital are vested in certain channels of pro duction, for which production otherc t ountries ha ve greater facilities. The Conservativee do not deny heabstract correct ness of free-trade principle s, and they admit that, eauld a nation be found .with its labour and capital unappropriated, the policy of free trade would be the best trade policy to pursue. But even then other considerations than those of trade might inter vene, and overrule the free-trade policy. If, for ex ample, the carrying into practice of free-trade principles, should render any nation which can raise food for itself de pendent for food upon other nations, then a higher policy than that of the greatest advantage in trade would render it exeedient to put a limit and check upon the action of fre e-trade princi ples. But there is a very wide interval between absolutefrtehets trade and ab'o'ute monopoly or prohibition. It is within interval that both Whigs and Tories stand. It is not true that either one or the other belongs to either of the extremes. The Ministeriailists falsely.give out that they do belong to the free trade extreme, and that their ompnents belong to the mono poly extreme. The Tories do lift degrade themselves by any similar fa'sehood on the oppogite side. They say they are neither fa r ab so l ute free -tradelor absolute monopoly, but they desire to do what is just and fair according to the circumstances of the case. COURIER,—A considerable fuss is made by the Mi nisterial Press about certain more strong than wise animadversions of two of our esteemed Conservative Contemporaries upon the manufacturing interests ; animadversions in which we are not prepared to con cur, excepting so far as they relate to that agitating portion of the manufacturing community which . has rendered it se lf odiously conspicuous for its reckless onslaught and coarse - vituperation of the agri cultural classes. We have a right to assume, • in deed, that to such only it was the meaningmeaningofour Cun ' temporaries to limit their attacks. But in any case, with what show of reason and justice can they complain who first lighted the fires of discord, and day by da y have been heaping fuel upon fl ame i n theix fiery and death-consuming assaults upon all t h e interests con nected with land, which, at length, outraging all patience, led to the natural reprisals about which these snivelling sentimental snarlers now affect to raise an outcry ? Were not the Ministry warned in season against the peril of provoking a war of class interests ; find did not Lord Melbourne himself, twelve months since only, enerotically protest, as became one who should be the executive conservator of the public peace, against the shape of casting the firebrand of confusion, i n th e ape of interference with the Corn-laws, into the midst of a nation, then but in the first stages of incipient reco very ficm the anarchical consequences of that reform of ancient institutions characterised by the Ministers them real revolution, and from the tumultuous and " 3 guillarY eutbreas fruits': And, notwit standing, Chartism which were its latest vorn . ,flielit. and the semen, was it not the same Go- J. :Lassen, which delibe ister. as represented by Lord wantonly, for the base purposes of party and pTiacteelY:shen at the latest moment that Government was pronounc to ed to thessinterests" confidence o and co Parliament mai u ericta e 4 that accursed crusade ~,: • • F of furious agitation, the avowed and admitted object of which was, and is, to arm every man against his neigh• bour, so that in the melee of strife the mercenary crav ings of a sordid ambition might -be gratified and office secured ? vy GLOBE.The " recreant Whig" of Netherby, who, rejected byy, the honest grey coats of his own county, sought and foUnd a'refuge in the Hare snug borough of Pembroke, " for a consideration," has announced his intention to retire from the seat which Sir John Owen so conveniently . conferred. We have before us a copy of the farewell address of Sir James Graham to his constituents of the' borough of -Pembroke, Tenby, .Mil ford,' and Weston, in which he says :—" Conscious that I have redeemed every -pledge which I gave to you when you elected me, and having sincerely endeavoured to serve you With fidelity, I should not have hesitated to ask fora re newal of your confidence, if circumstances had not oc curred which compel me to renounce this high honour." This announcement has excited no small stir in the borough thus suddenly deprived of the high honour of having so distinguished a statesman for its Member. The surprise was heightened by the perfect security in which the electors were' wrapped by the positive ,con tradiction which was given to a report, that the ca meleon Baronet intended to leave Pembroke for another region. On the 3d instant bills were posted and dis tributed through the borough, assuring the elec tors that no intention was entertained on the part of Sir James Graham to retire ; but that he would again offer himself as the candidate for the borough. The truth, however, is now disclosed. The objects for which cajolery and deception were employed, can no longer be promoted by their use. Sir James Graham's farewell address is a characteristic comment on the public contradiction to the report that he intended to retire from Pembroke; and is a new illustration of the sincerity and uprightness by which his pdblic - career has been distin guished. The cause for the secrecy and deception prac tised upon the electors of Pembroke is now ascertained: —" the circumstances which compel " Sir James Graham "to retire from the high honour," are now developed— Risum teneatis, amid ? The Right Honourable Baronet aspires to represent the City of Westminster ! ! His ad dress to the worthy Electors of Westminster will be is sued in the course of to-day ; and will be received with the indignant scorn with which such a constitu ency cannot fail to regard an address on such a subject, from such a candidate. STANDARD.—The House of Lords has established another title to the gratitude of the country, by last night rejecting the Jew Bill ; the Bill was thrown out on . the third reading by a majority of 98 to 64—a majority 'of 34. If this measure had been one calculated to benefit, in the slightest degree, any number of our conscientious fellow subjects of the family of Israel, to relieve them from any stigma, or to remove any bar to their temporal prosperity, we. should regret . the necessity of preserving the character of a Christian community to the British nation, by refusing the re lief to a people generally so amiable and so venerable, from the most sacred associations, as the Jewish people ; but the measure is really one of which no conscientious Jew could take advantage—it is a mea sure simply insulting to Christianity, and affecting Jews only in so far as it would go to condemn the civil and religious policy set forth in the Scriptures which they revere. and as it would place them on the same footing; with Mahommedans and idolators. The Jews are a distinct nation, and it is their characteristic and their pride that they are so. While they adhere to the doctrines and preserve the feelings of their nation, they never can incorporate themselves with any other people ; and, accordingly, we never find any conscientious Jew looking for office or athority in any country, Christian or Mussulman, although Jews almost universally respect the first social obligation common to mankind —by conducting themselves as good citizens. As respects con scientious Hebrews, therefore, they would receive the Bill rejected last night as a dead' lettei in whatever directly concerns themselves. But this is not all ; the Bill would let in all Infidels, and all even undisguised idolators, to administer the government over Jews as well as Chris tians. This is what no conscientious Jew can desire; for we are happy in the assurance that the distance between Jews and Christians has greatly diminished, and is rapidly dimi nishing. The religious Jews of this country are already almost Christians, as is manifest from their more re contly compiled Liturgies, and they do not disguise their conviction, that, next to their own, i the Christian dispen sation, as received by Protestants, s the best form of re ligion, and a Christian Government the best under which, as Jews, they can live. We•but repeat the declaration of more than one religious Jew, when we say that a Bill of pretended relief, associating Jews with all w/io are .not Christians, is a more grievous affront to Jews than to . Christians. The public satisfaction at the rejection of the infidel Bill needs therefore to be alloyed by no re gret on account of the Jews. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TlMES.—Although the price of Con.ols for the account was quoted at the close of the market 89 buyers, which of course leads to the presumption that it is rather firmer, still the whole of the business transacted was of a very inconsider able nature, and the jobbers can see no cause to produce this better state of things. The stoppage of Cockburn and Co., extensively engaged as East India agents, which was announced to-day, excited sin cere regret among those whose connexions in business were with those of the firm. It seems to be generally consider..d that their embarrasments have arisen from their connexion in the Australian trade with relatLres who have not been able, in consequence of the depressed state of the commerce of that colony, to forward the recnittan,es they were in expecta tion POST.—There was no movement at the Stock Exchange. to-day to call for a single comment, everything remaining al most entirely stationary, and the prospects of the moneyed in terest being, in all reTects, precisely the same as yesterday, and, in fact, during the whole of the week. The eontinental exchanges have slightly improved on the rates of last post-day. The failure of a considerable house (that of J. Cockburn and Co.) in the Indian and Australian trade was announced in the course of the day. The liabilities of the firm are estimated at 150,0001., which is a large amount, but it is repot ted that the assets, on the other hand, are ample far the liquidation of the same. Three failures at Marseilles are also advised,' one of which is heavy. Business matters in that city seem to be in a very deranged state. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. YORK, JUNE 11. Mr. Yorke, one of the candidates to represent th;s city in Parliament, arrived here last evening, and was received with every possible demonstration of joy and promise of support Irons the assembled thousands, who, with a band of music, flags, &c., paraded the streets, and afterwards showed such anxiety to hear the manly and independent declarations which Mr. Yorke de livered ; and certainly he manifested upon this occasion more than his usual energy in disabusing the minds of those of his hearers who entertained any doubts as to the propriety of con tinuing in office a Whig Administration in preference to the tyrannical sway of the short-sighted and hungry Peelites, who are in such greedy haste to gain ascendancy over our good and gracious Queen, and who would to a certainty cause the Eng lish nation, instead of leading the van in the happy march of intellectual improvement, to become retrograde or supinely stationary amid the scoffs and sneers of ast expectant world. That we can return two Liberal Members there scarcely exists a doubt. The Tog did not bleed at the last election, and even now there are landlords' demands unsatisfied ; and as to the other Tory, Acherly, his supporters are only to be found amongst the finality old-fashioned worn-out Whigs and alarmists, who (God be thanked) are growing every day more . scarce in this city. Pray, Mr. Editor, recommend to us a • staunch Reformer to coalesce with Mr. Yorke. The experiee . is nut what. ft used to be, when voters had to be collected ftoin every coun'y'in the kingdom. I know Mr. Yorke is anxiitus to have two Liberals returned for York ; I heard him declare it. Yon would be astonished at the number of yoithg freemen devoted to Liberal principles which this city now furnishos.

A number of resolutions were subsequently passed, expressive of the high estimation of that Gentleman's public services, and of a de termination to hold a public meeting on Islington-green, with a view to carry out their objects.

DUNDEE TRADE.—The prices of flax remain nearly the same as last week, but the business doing is very limited. Several vessels have arrived from Riga and the lower Baltic ports ; but, as their ca•go ,, s have been imported chiefly by consumers, they have not had much effect upon our market. The quality of the late arrivals of fresh flax is very satisfactory, and is considered much superior to that of any fiat crop since 1.826. Yarns and linens are of rather dull sale, without any variation in priess....Edinburgh Courant. 'e . %l ‘' THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 14, 1841. THE CHINESE COLLECTION AT PHILADELPHIA. The fame of Mr. Dunn's extensive Chinese museum is =1 not confined-to the land in which it has been opened—the United States. It, is well.known to all the world that, the indefatigable American, after the termination of his successful toils 'in the field of commerce, the chosen theatre of which was the Celestial Empire, has come back to his native shores laden with the fruits of many years' diligent and patient acquisition, the re sults of incessant yet ungrudging eipense. Mr. Dunn having conceived the laudable idea of forming a collection of all sorts of things charaCteristic of the extraordinary . country and, people to which he had re paired for mercantile purposes, a sort of hive was, pre pared for their reception, and being visited in the way of his businesS by numerous Chinamen who had the in telligence to appreciate, as well as the liberality and dis position to assist in the execution of his design, each of them placed himself, in one shape or another, under contribution. The interior of China is as a sealed book. Even the city of Canton is impenetrable to strangers. Personally, therefore, Mr. Dunn could have access to nothing—inspect nothing. Neither the com mon workshops, the houses, the private apartments, nor the manufactories of the empire, or any portion of it, were visible to him, so that the whole of his valu able accumulations had to be effected through such tri butary channels, as by cultivation, courteous treatment,. and hospitality he was enabled to command. At his house were to be found on frequent occasions the most eminent merchants and officers of the Government, who were either permanently or temporarily resident at Can ton, and through the intervention of these he procured in some instances as presents, in others by purchase, rare and costly articles, which were not commonly within the reach of foreigners. One thing came in after another, and thus it was the interesting collection, the mag num opus, was at length completed. Professor Silliman, of Yale College, gives a brief account of the novel ex hibition as it appears in its new locality, though of the three hundred cases out of which it is composed, only a part have been unpacked. From this account we extract a few particulars. The "entrance partition" of Chinese work forms a vestibule leading to the great saloon of 165 feet in length, by 70 feet in width and 24 in height, with a double colonnade. On the right and left are dis tributed the numerous cases containing specimens of " all that is unique, curious. or common, to be procured in the empire." The screen is such as is in general use among the 'Wealthy Chinese in partitioning off a very spacious saloon from the remainder of the great ground floor of their houses. It forms a beautiful termination to the room. " Hours, nay, days and weeks," says Dr. Silliman, " may be profitably employed in examining the details presented by this mag nificent saloon, which brings the most populous nation of Asia at once before the spectator." Accurate whole length likenesses in clay, to the number of 70 or 80, which were modelled from living subjects by an experienced ar tist, include personages of various rank, from the manda rin to the coolie ; from ladies of distinction to the poor woman employed in sculling their boats on the river. Each represents "a speaking countenance" in a style of art per fectly new in this part of the world. The effect is to exhibit to the spectator the inhabitants of China as they really exist. The remarks made by Dr. Silliman on the porcelain and earthenware manufacture of china are well worthy the attention of the potteries, and all connected with them. "In this department," he says, " endeavours have been successfully made to procure the best specimens of all the most expensive manufactures of the country, embracing several very ancient and highly esteemed articles. Here are many hundred jars, vases, pipe stands, and various services used by the Chinese, differing materially from those exported. The specimens of ware -cracked on the surface by age, are interesting and costly. There must be several t'housand pieces of fine china, including the thin egg-shell cup with its lettered inscriptions, octagon pipe-stands, three or four feet in height, inscribed land marks, tile work, screens, &c., in very numerous pat terns ; affording us ' Barbarians' new ideas on the sub ject of their manufactures, and probably new patterns for our artists." Among agricultural and other implements is to be seen " the very crude plough that is drawn by the buffalo, with his simple yoke and rope traces. The harrow, differing very 'materially from that of our country, is one of the accompaniments. There are forks, rakes, hoes, axes, shovels, spades of wood faced with iron for* the sake of economy, &p. ; a complete set of carpenter's and joiner's, or cabinet maker's tools. There is amatiye shoemaker's shop.cotn plete ; .a blacksmith's anvil, his curious bellows,. &c., comprising the complete accoutrements of the travelling smith ; the entire shop of the • ambulatory barber, his clumsy short razor, cases, &e. The musical instruments of the Chinese also figure in full among the curiosities, and castings of iron of very great beauty, consisting of pots, kettles, and other cooking utensils of universal use, and which, unlike our own of the same metal, may be mended at pleasure as easily as our tin vessels." " The models of boats," continues Dr. Silliman, " form a striking feature of the scene ; first, we have the gor geous flower boat with its numerous decorations, various furnished apartments of comfort and luxury, and painted and adorned in the peculiar style of the Asiatics. Of the canal boats there are three models of different sizes of such as are used in conveying the articles of their pro duce, teas, salt, grain, and manufactured articles, to and from the distant points of the extensive empire, and in loading and unloading foreign ships. There is the man of-war boat. These tide-waiter's boats, or cutters, are always cruising about with the police officers, to keep order among the numerous residents on the water, and to enforce the revenue laws. The sanpans are family boats, in which it is computed about 200,000 per sons constantly reside on the waters before the city of Canton and its suburbs ; they are kept as clean as a milk-pail, and contain entire families, who are born and live to the end of their days on the river. This great city of boats presents a remarkable aspect ; through them it would •be difficult to navigate, were it not that the fleet is arranged in streets, and at night lighted up. ,We greatly ight in summer houses, as who does not? Four models of these " exhibit the peculiar taste of the Chinese; some are plain, and others very orna mental, with their scalloped roof, bells, gilding, paint ing, &c., and furnished with miniature chairs, tables, &c., models of real things, every part being complete for the luxuries of tea and the pipe. Tea is the univer sal beverage; this is sold at from eight cents the pound up to many dollars, and is an article on which some of their citizens expend a very large income. The work ing man carries it in his rude teapot to the fields, and drinks it cold to quench his thirst, while the more wealthy sip it on every occasion of ceremony, business, or familiar intercourse." The pictures are very numerous. They occupy the greatest surface of the collection, and are the productions of the principal artists of the empire, not excepting those of Pekin, the capital. There are " large and inte resting views of Macao, Bocca Whampoa, Canton, and Honam, with its remarkable temples, &c. The por traits-will astonish those who have seen only the paltry daubs usually brought as specimens of the art in China. There is one or the high priest of the Homan Temple, and there are others of distinguished men well known in Canton, worked with the minuteness of miniature paint ing. This department comprises also a variety of paint ings on glass, an art much practised by the natives ; pic tures of all the boats peculiar to the country ; of rooms —their domestic arrangements ; of all the costumes of people , - of - rank-: the furniture, lanterns, and, in short, of every variety of Chinese life, from the most degraded class to the Etnperor. The flowers enahroideredOn satin, &c.. will attract,the eye of female visitors." Faced by a very superb alcove, brought frowehina, is 'a Chinese room. " The alcove itself consists of wool deeply carved out of solid blocks, the carving represents figures of men, animals, birds, flowers, &c. The cutting penetrat?s through the whole of each piece, and forms a net work, the front being paineed and g ift infhTitsiaticlaste,4ith the rich colours for which the nation is so celebrated."

There is also a common table, such. as is in universal use, and has been.for 'centuries, which will be, recognised by our. present generation as a fat-simile Of the favourite eight-legged table of our great grandfathers, now thrust by modern fashion into the kitchen or garret. It 7 folds up as those thi, -and the legs are turned in rings ; this, liken thousand thing•s in the saloOn; proves that our common usages haie been 'de 7 rived from China, where we are accustomed to beliei-e they are centuries behind us. The vases and seats of porcelain are particularly rich and unique." Mr. Dunn was enabled by " industry, money, flat tery, and kindness, to amass a great variety of birds, fishes, reptiles, shells, &c.. and a few animals. Of these, all have arrived in good condition, with the ex ception of the insects. The butterflies, moths, &c., which when last seen in Canton were particularly rich and curious, have suffered most by the delay in unpack ing, and by natural causes." The conchology is fully represented in many rich specimens, and one of the rarest birds, the mandarin duck, with its peculiar phimage, is new to most people. The China partridge, and many beautiful song birds, add variety and interest to the collection. The fishes were procured principally at the fishing.; stations at Macao, where Mr. Dunn had for several months an agent for tht express purpose, nor is the museum want ing in drawings of plants and flowers, or in minerals. Of the miscellanies it is observed, "The jos-houses, pa godas, articles of virtu, of ornament, of stone, of jade, of ivory, bamboo, wood, metal, rice, &c. are so numerous that we can only allude to them. A case of shoes in all their course or ornamental variety, exhibit the form of the compressed female feet, and the clumsy shape of those of the male ; another of caps fresh from their makers, with the button of office, and the cheaper kinds of the poor ; theatrical dresses, known to be those of the very ancient Chinese—spectacles, opium and other pipes, fans, the compass in great variety, models of fruits, coins, exquisite specimens of carving in ivory, metal, stone, and bamboo, very numerous and gro tesque carvings from roots of trees, in which they exhibit a peculiar taste, singular brushes, combs, beau tiful vessels of odoriferous wood fbr their altars and temples, of which latter there are models ; very nume rous ornamental stands, carved with good taste ; huge cameos in stone o f great cost ; fi ne spec i mens o their lacquered ware, as well as of their common ware ; a silk embroidered saddle ; a water-wheel worked like our modern treadmill ; a fan for sifting tea, resembling our own ; lanterns of every possible shape, size, and orna-. ment, will be suspended front various points, with their t o at i, th w e h las iCh t ' re fe li w cs of w rich and tasteful paintings • there is a model of their d ve es ry ign si ed ng t u o la c r on c o b u t !d tha e n v i e iy n_ . ffuess_was The only collection in Europe which may be at all compared to that of Mr. Dunn, is the museum of Japan ese articles at the Hague.

THE SCOTCH BANKS. --- The Deputation of Scotch bankers, who were lately in Lon don, have published a Report of their proceedings. From this Report we learn that— " Immediately on their arrival the Deputation had an inter view with the Chairman of the Committee, and, notwithstand ing that the Committee had resolved to examine only two wit nesses on the Scottish banking system, Mr. Blair, of the Bank of Scotland, having been previously examined. the Deputation prevailed on them to extend the number to three. Air. An derson, of the Glasgow !iv ion Bank, and Mr. Kennedy. of the Ayrshire Bank, were appointed by the Deputation to give their testimony. Our space enables us to give only a short extract from the Report : " The Deputation found that very dangerous and errone ous opinions as to the nature and practice of bankiug in Scot land prevailed in the metropolis, which they are anxious to believe arise from ignorance of the working of the system, rather than from prejudice or hostility. The paper currency of Scotland is stigmatised as being irregular in its action and redundant in its quantity, but the published returns prove that it is regu'ar, invariable, and limited to the daily wants of the community. It. is also charged with pressing ups;n the circula tion of London, though it is unquestionable that it cannot reach London cr travel out of Scotland, being payable only in the latter country. The ordinary demands of the Scottish banks upon their supplies in London are excepted to as acting unfa vourably on the foreign exchanges, when it is quite clear that these deman Is are the natural calls which every bank makes on its own stores of capital kept 'n London for the express purpose of being ready for contingent demands, and which would bo so kept even were the currency purely metallic. It is also equally clear that in times of pressure there is a ten dency of capital to flow from Scotland to London, rather than the reverse, such capital being attracted by the higher rate of interest which in such times invariably prevails in the London market. • " ' The establishment of one bank of issue, to supply cur. rency for the United Kingdom, is at present a favourite project. This is the grand remedy for the imaginary evils areged to be attendant on the Scottish system of bank inz, a remedy which would sweep away the whole pre sent paper currency of Scotland, and entail upon that country an expenditure about six or seven #mil lions in purchasing an dequate supply of currency from this single bank, which would to that extent cripple the means of the Scotti4ll banks in giving that expansion to the induAry of the country which experiexce has proved to be of such vital importance to its prosperity. Knowing the existence of such opinions,. the deputation, and more'e , - pecially , the two Obtlemen. who *ere to be ' examined, re solvekthat, i examined,x In giving their-eviiienee, the greet object was±4, con - ibif and refute errors and fallacies of a nature so (lenge:- rous: 'The Report concludes with a recommendation to the bankers of Scotland to keep up the connection they have at this time formed for their mutual interest, and protection in future. • ' The deputation flatter themselves that the bank- - ing system of Scotland, combining with the utmost degree of , safety and economy to the public, • a. perfectly on: ganised control against excessive issues, through the free col lisions of individualinterest, has been proved to the Coin, niittei, - and to the empire at large; • to- possess within itself more intrinsic value than any ' other_ which is. at present known or preposed'.t6 be substituted nits place: . in proportion to its excellence is the duty, and ought to be the an x ietiOf those Ohl:OW - With' its Administration, -t6 preserve ~. those characteristics w i llielt snhoriourablydistinguish it, unim ; paired by any imprudence through which there could be just cause of ;reproach incurred, reflecting indirectly on , the , system; 'itself." . The Complaint in London is, not,that the paper currency.of . Scotland, strictly and abstractedly , so .to speak, presses upon' the circulation of London, but that, by reason of the exernp don of the Scotch banks fo retain gold their coffers agaiest their issues, and from the circulation of one-pound notes in that part of the kingdom': the 'Scotch banks are enabled to maintain an influence on the London Market beyond the legi timate extent of their actual means and capital.. It is &mere quibble to say that the paper currency Of Scotland cannot affect the London Market, because it is only payable in Scot land. The report says, to be sure, that the Scotch hanks would exercise the same control on the London Market, if the " currency were purely metallic." This is a bold assertion, and, in our estimation, a very false one; and, to give it the outward show of truth, the report erroneously represents the operations of the Scotch banks on the Scotch Exchange as re sulting from their ordinary demands upon their supplies in London, as the "natural calls which every bank makes on its own stores of capital kept in London for the express purpose of being ready for contingent demands." The authors of the re port forget that every bank in England must keep on hand a considerable amount of gold to meet the ordinary purposes of trade, and to supply the buviag and selling for sums under five pounds; whereas the Scotch banks have no such burden on their shoulders, but enjoy the most profitable part of their business by being exempt from it; The Scotch banks have neither to keep Bank of England paper or sovereigns in their strong boxes, which "every bank" in England must do, against their issues ; and thus the Scotch banks are enabled to carry on extensive operations in the public funds, whereby the London market is subject( d to improper influences, and raised or depressed to suit the views of these parties. We are no ad vocates for a purely metallic currency, because it is incom patible with the highly civilised state of the cnnntry and its multifarious and gigantic commercial transactions; but we are advocates for a purely convertible and an uniform currency. The system of banking in Seat land has worked well and prosperously in that part of the coun try, and, with some exceptions, has been introduced beneficially into England. But we always look upon the system of bank ing and the system of private issues as two distinct and sepa rate things. The banking interests throughout the provinces seek to merge the difference, and to maintain the two as one and indissoluble. They maintain that as Scotland has pros pered uneer its present system of banking, any attempt to in terfere with the system of paper issues there would he ruinous to the comforts and interests of the people. Our cpinion is very different from this, and we believe that although the profits of the banks would be less if the sys tem of private issues Were reformed, yet the interests and pro perty of the people would be placed upon a far more solid basis, and they would then enjoy the real advantages of the Scotch system of banking, without the danger attending its abuse. We have frequently shorn that the weekly exchanges are no sufficient check against over-issues, and that the comparative amount of notes in circulation by the banks in Scotland at dif ferent periods is accounted for by the contraction of the genoral currency of the kingdom. The Clergy in at parts are represented as being very actively engag e d i n canvassing for the electron. Their motives for this are ve r y ob-Jinus ; if the Corn-laws be repealed, they are afraid there must be a new adjustment of tithes, wi4eb, u Well 49 rent, they drep.d be reduced. BUSHRANGERS. (From the Australian ChrohiCk of the 16tlinfJahiary.) noted bushranger, a runaway from the service of Mr. King, of Lake George, and who is better known by -the • cognoinen• of Jaeky , Jaeky—thaugh a native, of the British capitel,—was captured on Thursday last at Bun gendore.,.. Jacky' Jacky appears tv have taken the bush early ill the month of Deeember. Shortly after he 'had done so he ,became connected with another ruffianolow, in Sydney gaol, who disgraces the honoured name of Curran. It was Jacky .Jacky who robbed the Queen bcyau days before Christmas last. Since that he committed various robberies between Marulan and lie zorback. It would appear 'however; that he preferred high I to low ground ; and he left the county of Camden; intend ing to Visit his old haunts and pals. O n hiS . Wayuti he called at the station of Mr. Hannibal Macarthur, at \Vollondilly, and took froth there, not the eternal black mare of which the public heard so much during the last year's debates in the Legislative Council, but a noble young animal. After procuring her, the first exploit of Jacky's with which persons are acquainted, was his at tempt to rob the mail between Marulan and Bungonia on Monday morning, the 12th instant, and his attempt to shoot Mr. Corbin, the mail-contractor, who very fortunately had charge of the mailbags on - the morning in question. The bushranger was traced to the imme diate neighbourhood of Bungonia, by which place he passed on Tuesday ; a pistol, which he is known to have had, was found close to Lumley. After this he proceeded to a spotcalled called Deep Creek, no great distance from the Long Swamp, in this neighbour hood ; he robbed a store, and dressed himself in a long frock coat and black cap. He next called at Mr. Hyland's inn, where, it would appear, he passed himself off as a person travelling on his legitimate business. Having noticed a gig at the door of Mr. Hy land's house, the bushranger, supposing that its owner was on his way to Sydney, went some distance on the road towards the Deep Creek, with the view of stopping the occupant of the gig, who was the Rev. Mr. M'Grath, the Catholic clergyman of this district. This gentle man's duty, however, taking him in the direc tion of Bungendore. and in an opposite direction from where Jacky . had placed himself, he, find ing that he/ had missed the object he had in view, galloped over the ranges, in order to cut off Mr. M'Gratti's route. By the speed of the latter's horse the bushranger'was again thrown out in his calculations. Jacky then rode his horse into the village of Bungen- I dare, and took refuge in the house of a person named Eggleston. Mr. Powell, - J.P., having got immediate no tice of the bushranger's being so close at hand, went in pursuit of him, accompanied by Messrs. Balconabe, End ledge, and Powell, jun. The bushranger mounted his • horse, and galloped off, the gentlemen in close pursuit of him. He was armed with a gun, which he presented several times - at Messrs. Rudledge and Powell. Jacky was evidently much better mounted than any of his pursuers, and, had the mare ridden by him not been fatigued, he would have made the ranges without being captured. The gentlemen at length surrounded him, and about this time Mr. Balcombe came up in a gig, a•riaed with a musket. Jacky perceiving that there was little chance of his escaping, laid down his gun and sur rendered. He had on his person when taken between 60/. and 701. in checks and orders. Great credit is due to Mr. Powell and the other - gentlemen for their praise worthy and spirited behaviour upon the occasion, as, owing to the hurry in which they were obliged to sally out after him, and other circumstances, over which they had no control, they were neither well armed nor well mounted. On the following day Jacky was con veyed to Queanbeyan, where he was identified by se veral persons whom he had robbed, and was safely lodged in the lockup at Goulburn, on Saturday after noon, Lieutenant Christie _ and a party of mounted police, who had been in pursuit of the prisoner since the previous Tuesday, having gtiarded him from Bungen dore to Queanbeyan, and from the latter place to Goal burn.—COreepondent, Jan. 16. HEROIC CONDUCT AND CAPTURE OF FOUR BUSH- RANGERS. Four of the convicts at Port Arthur absconded on the 14th December, and, after losing themselves for two days in the bush, succeeded in stealing a whaleboat from 1)r. Imlay's establishment, which which they endeavoured to reach Maria Island.. Being baffled in this attempt they ran round to Brune, and went to Mr. Mansfield s, and, finding a-whaleboat there more suitable for them, took her and proceeded down the channel, with the intention of capturing some of our colonial craft, to get away from the island. On Tuesday evening they landed at Mr. Cole's, at Snake Island, formerly a boat builder in the town. Mr. Cole met them at the door of his house. They demanded the number of men in his esta blishment, and finding they were at some distance from the house, demanded provisions, which Mr. Cole refused. They insisted on having some, and two of them desired Mr. Cole's daughter (the only other inmate of the house) to show them the store-room. She did se, and they proceeded to ransack it. The other two men remained outside, one armed with a musket standing at the front door, and the other armed with an axe being stationed under the verandah. Mr. Cole seated himself, and deli berated as to what course he should pursue, when it occurred to him that a knife was lying upon the table, and, having succeeded in securing it unobserved, he arose under the excuse of wishing to go to bed, stating that he must go outside first. This the man at the door refused to permit, and on Cole persevering he levelled his musket and drew back the lock. Cole instantly stabbed him, and a scuffle ensued. One of the men rushed out of the store-room to the assistance of his comrade, and was instantly wounded by Cole. The man with the axe rushed on Cole, and in the struggle the latter fell. One of them tried to strangle him, but Cole still kept stabbing with his knife, and his daughter succeeded in pulling the man off who was endeavouring to strangle him. The men, finding themselves so effectually- opposed, quitted the hut, and made for the boat, while Cole ran in search of his own men, who, hearing his calls for assistance, were already making towards him ; but the bushrangers had gained their boat and put off before Cole and his party Could reach them. Mr. Cole yesterday gave notice of this attack to the police station at Birch's Bay. and the constables from that station went in immediate pursuit, and discovered three of the men in its vicinity, nearly exhausted from the wounds given to them by Mr. Cole. The fourth man they refused to give any account of, and a party of constabulary has been dispatched from town ,in search of him. The wounded men were conveyed yesterday evening to the colonial hospital, and two of them are so des perately wounded as to give little hopes of their recovery. The gallant conduct of Mr. Cole cannot be too highly lauded, and we doubt not the Government will fully evince their sense of it. The fate that has attended these misguided men will have the effect of deterring others from pursuing the same course ; and if equal gallantry were displayed in similar cases it would be the means of effectually checking all attempts at bushranging. The names of the captured men are Robley, YarwoOd, and Jarvis, and William Easteourt is the name of the fourth man, who is still at large.—Huburt Town Ad vertiser. FRENCH COD FISHERY. The following statistical account of the cod fishery of France, is given in the Constitutionnel :—" The cod fishery employs annually 400 French ships, measuring together 50,000 tons, and manned by 11,000 sailors; also 200 transports or coasting vessels, - .vith 2,000 sailors; so that it maintains 600 ships, and 13,000 men. France possesses 305 • inyriametres, or about 450 leagues, of r coast; and there wawa time when the French fishery on the banki'et NeWfoundland was sufficiently extensive 'to supply nearly the wants of all Europe, and for manning: the 7 whole of the:French navy. But in consequenCe of the treaty of Utrecht. in 1713, that of Vervins in 1783, and thetession- of Canada, France was reduced to..,the Confined right of .fishing on the eastern and western coasts of the island, of Newfoundland, vithout the power of eStablishing•Any npen, except- such huts and scaffolding as are absolutely neces- I . Sary for drying and curing the fish. Under such circum stances, it iscvident that Frinice can,neyer eonne.P wigt. the .English fishermen, who have fixettresidencespn the (w with these; of America, wh& haVe'theladvaif ta:ge of being Clese to their own shores.As sh.rlrers •f•ot , her ships; she possesses only the mill islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, presenting lint hare reeks, which . . ;must be constantly supplied from , witheut • with every' :necessary, even fire-wood. Thel.inahitenance of the French fishery, therefore, depends upon. the e.neouritge-. inent itteceives from!' the Government. otherwise it would almost cease to exist, and a nursery .for 13,000 sailorS would be obliterated: In 1793 the French lists - of, able sea men contained 100,000 men. In 1815 the number was re duced to 83,000. In 1836 it increased to 90,511, and in 1840 to 98,706. This augmentation has been derived chiefly from the expansion of the cod-fishery, which in consequence of the encouragement it has received, in creased from 30,584 tons and 8,108 men, in 1816, to 54,995 tons and 11,499 men in 1839. Besides the ships expressly fitted out for the fishery, there are between 60 and 80 other vessels employed in conveying. cargoes of cod from the banks to the colonies. There is likewise a number of transports engaged in carrying between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 kilogrammes (50,000,000 and 60,000,0001 b.) of salt, and also pitch, flour, and' all the other necessary provisions for 13,000 men during eight months of the year. 'This keeps an nually employed about 50,000 tons of shipping. It may be said, therefore, without exaggeration, that the cod fisheries furnish France with 12,030 able seamen, being nearly one-fourth of the whole number required for her navy, but at the same time insufficient to man her fleets in time of war. No other part •of her sea-going trade could produce a similar result, as it would require 170,003 tons of colonial merchantmen to supply the . 12,000 sailors furnished by the cod fishery. The loss of St. Domingo deprived France of the employment of ' 167,665 tons of shipping: and still her trade with that island engaged no more than 9,8.55 men." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Now, it is submitt'd ,that if a steain-tug, with a strong rake, were passed about these places, the mounds would be reduced, and the holes filled up, thereby levelling the bottom of the . . river. A STEAM-BOAT TRAVELLER. TO YOUtt TENTS, 0 ISRAEL! The day of repose and inactivity has passed ! Every man gifted with the franchise has now to exert himself for the well-being 'of his country. for the preservation .a its trade, and the employment of its millions. Parlia ment will be prorogued on Thursday, and dissolved on Friday.. The election writs are now actively preparing, and in a fortnight hence the country will be shaken with the most fierce election contest tliat has ever taken place. The whole ramifications of monopoly will be set in motion ; every principle of seltish ness will .be excited, every subterfuge attempted. every deceit resorted to ; yet the good cause must and will prevail ! All the benign influences of truth, mercy, aad justice, are ranged under the banner of the people, and success awaits their exertions. Our most gracious Queen remains firm in her resolve to abide by the prin ciples of liberality and freedom, which have been incul 7 cated on her mind since childhood. Ministers go to the country with clean hands : although they have been de prived, by Tory jesuitry and malignity, from explaining within the walls of Parliament the full extent of their liberal propositions, enough has been enunciated to arose the public mind into determined action, by which the sophistries of the monopolists will be indignantly flung aside, and the exploded principles of exclusiveness and class-preference scattered to the four winds of heaven. Notwithstanding, however, that the Queen and the Ministry extend their aid to the important struggle, the people themselves, as the parties more immediately inte rested, are especially called into exertien. By their efforts shall the extent of their power be made known, and by ~the changes which they make in the representa tion will the prospect of success be secured.. The Tories and Mnnopolists have given ample evidence•of their de termination to withhold every possible advantage from the people ' • and it only remains for the electors to dis charge the functions with which they are entrusted for the national benefit in a proper manner to prostrate the faction once and for ever. Let every man consider it a particular duty to exert himself for the public weal—let every elector consider his vote of importance to the commonwealth, and a barrier will be raised up against oppression and misrule which neither Tory fraud, inti midation, nor deceit shall be able to surmount, to under mine, or to overturn.—Briiish Queen. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 12. ALEXANDER V. DUNN. Mr. BAYLEY said that Mr. Dunn had given notice of his intention to be brbught up to-day by habeas corpus, in order to apply to be discharged out of custody. He was instructed to oppose the application. Mr. Dunn said he was detained on two writs, one is suing out of this Court, and the other out of the Court of Exchequer ; and he was desirous, if possible, to have their Lordships' opinion upon points in the two cases. Lord DENNAN said, that with regard to the case in the Court of Exchequer, this Court could not interfere. Mr. Dunn said he would then address their Lordships in the case of Trevor v. Dunn, which was in this Court. The writ was not endorsed in the manner prescribed by the Act of Parliament, and he therefore moved that he should he discharged out of custody. Mr. Justice CoLEninGE—When were you arrested ? Mr. Dunn—On the 10th of March, my Lord.' Mr. Justice COLERIpGE—You are very late in your application. Mr. Dunn---My Lords, I swear that I have only re cently obtained a knowledge of the fact. Lord DENMAN—You are too late, and the Court can not therefore entertain your application. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 12. HART V. LEE MORETON, SUED AS BOURISCAULT. Mr. TuomAs showed cause in this case, which was a rule to set aside a judgment on the ground that the de-, fendant was an infant. From the affidavits which had been made by the defendant, however, it appeared, as well as upon those of the defendant's mother and bro ther, that the said defendant was born in Dublin in the month of December, 1820, and that he was privately baptized. In answer to this, the affidavits on the other side stated that the defendant bore the personal appearance of a young man of about the age of 22 or 23, or even up wards, and that he himself had, upon a particular occa sion, declared that he was 22 years old, and further, that he should come into the possession of 50,0001. in , the month of December, 1841, when he should be 23 years of age, but that in consequence of his guardian, Dr. Lardr.er, being absent in America, he could not get the money. It also appeared that the defendant had'per formed at the Brighton Theatre, and was the author of a successful comedy at Covent-Garden Theatre, entitled London Assurance. Mr. THOMAS was proceeding to comment on these affi davits, when he was interrupted by Mr. Baron PARKE, who asked Mr. Bayley (the coun sel on the other side) what he had to say to this ? Mr. BAYLEY replied, that the only question was as to whether the dcfendaat was or was not of age. Mr. Baron PARKE—The defendant stated that lie was not. The rule must therethre be discharged with costs. SHIPPING - INTELLIG4NCE. (1.11,()YI'S). LONDON, JUNk. 12.—Wind this day at noon , N.E.

Lord ABINGER in the course of the day said he would take that opportunity of stating that the Court had un der their consideration the expediency or necessity of adopting a new mode in the taxation of costs in that Court, in consequence of having ascertained that the plan in the Court of EXchequer was different to that used in the other Courts. That circumstance was, it appeared, at tended with considerable incon •renience, and in some in stances with much injustice to th►; suitors. This was a great abuse, and one which their Lordships felt ought to be corrected and remedied. BAIL COURT, June 11. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF STAFFORDSHIRE. Mr. Justice Cotx RIDGE this day decided that. the appoonment of overseers for Oneote pariah, in Staffo-dshire. by M. Gaunt, Esq., and the Rev. T. H. Heathcote, County Magistrates, was good ; and that another appointment, of a like nature, by John Bill, Esq., and the Rev. John Sneyd, also County Magis trates, could not be supported. The point at issue arose out of the following circumstances :—lt appeared that on the 31st March last, Mr. Gaunt and Mr. Sn"yd, Magistrates of Staf fordshire, hell a Petty Session. at Leek, fir the appointment of overseers for the Hundred of Totmonslow North, which in cludes Oncote ; but a difference of opinion arising between them as to the persona the most eligible, an adjournment, was agreed upon to the 2ext Petty Session, on the 14th April, when it was expected a third 'Magistrate would attend. Afer such first meetini,f, however, and without acquainting Mr. Gaunt of his intenticn, Mr. Sneyd struck his nams out of the minutes of the adjournment, and on the following day, viz. the Ist April, went to Mr. Bill, and with him appointed the overseers desired by M. Sneyd ; bukon the 14th April, the day of adjournment, Mr. Gaunt, with Mr. Heathcote, who then attended. the Sessions,. also appointed overseers for On cote, tilde* CeeaticKlll . ealv of two concurrent and rival sets of tryerseers forpe,:,isame Place. But the Court decided that those awninteclbylOr. Gaunt and Afr. Heathcote, on the 14th Apiil; were the only' legal overseers, by reason of the ad journini.nt, and which Air. Sneyci vould not annul by his own authoi ity, - - POLICE INT'ELLIGENC'E . ELLI G EN CE TTON-GARDEN. 'lnformatinkivas received at.the, office of ;an extensive robbery at the house of James Williams, Esq. 4 'Alient'a week back a female of a most fashionable exterior, about years of age, drove up to Mr. Williams's house in ,a . cabriolet, and so,tagtte Was in search of apartments in reSpectabtel family, having just, arrived in town, where she was a total stranger, on urgent business 'him Colchester. .Mrs. Williams; ,with a feeling highly eern mendable,. iin+ - n. ettately'reecied her into the- honse, ' OnY: the day afterwards the lady ft-igned illness, and continued' iiiber belt-room, till Saturday. morning, when she ,re quested Mrs'. Williams to take coach to John. Lock, Esq„ East India House. is ho would deliver into her care some. valuable property belonging to her. After Mrs. Wil liamS was gone the liousomaid . was induced to go on an errand by the pretended invalid, who, when left alone, broke open Mrs. William's jewel-case and stole a gold watch and many ether valuable articles, and also a quan tity of plate and some cash, with which she escaped from the house. The note to Mr, Lock (who of course knew nothing of the writer) ran thus :—" Dear Sir,—Please to send by the bearer what you wished me to send for. —Sarah Latten.* The Magistrate said that every publicity ought to be given to such a matter, to prevent, if possible, further edation. THAMES-OFFICE. George Fmk, a policeman of the K division, No. 2SI, was charged by Mr. John Humble, an elderly gentleman, under the following circumstances. Mr. Humble was proceeding to the Black wall Pier with his wife to meet a steamer, and upon going down one of the inclined gangways at the wharf, on which there was no other person at the time, he was rudely seized by the policeman and forced back. It was some time before Mr. Humble could escape from his grasp. The policeman then made use of insulting expressions towards him. The policeman, in defence, alleged that his orders were to prevent people going upon the gangway before the passengers had disembarked, and that he did not use more force than was necessary. Mr. BALLANTINE considered that the assault had been proved. It was the duty of policemen to execute their orders with mildness and civility, to do their duty firmly, but not to lose their temper. The defendant ought to have informed Mr. Humble that he could not pass before he seized him, but he allowed him to pass half-way down the board, had seized him by the arm, put him in great pain, and used insulting language towards him. 'faking into consideration the previous good character of the defendant, he should sentence him to pay a fine of 20s. only. The fine was paid. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT. DEPTFORD...—.
