SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. We refer with pain, but no astonishment, to our Dublin correspondence of this day. The letter from Clonmel, if we had none but reason able minds to deal with, might be left to work its own effect upon the public. It contains: a narrative of certain alarming proceedings in the chief town of the populous and powerful county of Tipperary. Many thousands of Catholics marched on Sunday last from various quarters of the county to the appointed rendezvous of Clonmel. The description of one brigade or corps of this multitude may serve for all of them. " The Cahir party arrived first, with band and colours, about 500 horse Men, all stout, able fellows, dressed in green uniform': they were followed by several thousands on foot, generally clothed in green jackets and pink .facings— white trousers with a green edge run up the thigh. They marched three deep, and kept time, like the soldiers, to the tune the band was plaNing. Then came the Ardfinnan men, &c. But the Clogheen men, it appears, were the most formidable. There were of them at least 2,000 horsemen, " for all the world like a cavalry regiment ;" and so the ac count goes on. Said we not truly some days ago, that the organization of the Catholics, though resorted to for a constitutional end, was convertible in a twinkling to purposes of direct warfare ? Why here was a strong corps d'armele regimented, clad in uniform, marching in column ; and one part of the account, which will be found in the body of the letter, states that there was a huge standard, bearing on one side the harp, on the other O'Connell and the King, who was graciously presenting:the dema gogue with Emancipation. Thus was the single cause in which all this pomp and circumstance had originated kept religiously before the eyes of the people, as if all but one grand wrong, and one signal reparation, seas to be wiped from, the memory of Irishmen, lest the unity of the league —the main principle of its efficacy—should be disturbed in a moment of unstretched attention or of unstimulated feeling. What we mean to contend for is, that if the Government will not at once come forward with a candid declaration of their desire to appease the Ca tholics, the passions of the Irish people— Protestant as well as Catholic—will prove too violent to be withheld. Events will outstrip the lazy meditations of men who heed not the prelusive rocking of the volcano. Yet, even if their dreams be dissipated by the first explosion, and their power destroyed by it, what indemnity have we, the English nation, for the ruin of this noble empire, in the downfall Of its headstrong and stupid authors ? The irritability of the Catholic population of Dublin is proved by a circumstance which strikes us to have been quit: accidental. The Castle guard, on being relieved, marched, it seems, through Thomas-. street (the street, by the way, in which poor Lord Kilwarden was murdered during Emmet's brief rebellion, 1803), with their band playing the old Orange time of the Boyne Water. The fact is spoken of in the Dublin prints as being an outrage against the Catholics of the most un pardonable nature. We are perfectly persuaded that it was wholly fortuitous, although an acci dent which ought to have been averted by the commanding officer of the party, if he happened to have an ear capable of distinguishing one tune from another. The Catholics, however, were foolish, and worse than foolish, to take of fence without ascertaining-that there was a deli berate intention to wound their feelings. - We venture to say, that no officer of the King's troops would he capable of affording them such a u impolitic and malicious justification. ceoNsien, SEPT. 22.—We had yesterday the grandat scene that Clonmel ever saw, and the most glorious display of the power and union of the people. Though Father Brennan preached against as, after seven o'clock mass, and warned us not to go to meet the bop of Clogheen, Cahir, and Ard finnan, who were to assemble here to celebrate the general reconciliation of all true Irishmen, yet up wards of 200 of us, dressed in green jackets, with feathers in our hats, and lookity for all the world like soldiers, headed by O'Connell's Clonmel band, playing Patrick's Day and The Melodies, moved westward through Irishtown to meet the Cahir, the Cleo-been, and the A rdfinnan p arties that were com ing into town. At our head we had a colour borne by four stout boys (men), with a very large flag, on one side of which was painted the harp, and on the other there was a picture of O'Connell and the King—O'Connell receiving emancipation from his Gracious Majesty. At twelve o'clock there could not be less than 50,000 countrymen assembled in the streets of Clonmel and its neighbourhood, expecting the above-named parties to enter. The Cahir party arrived first with the band and colours, about 500 horsemen, all stout able fellows dressed in green uniform. They were followed by several thousands on foot, ge nera lly dothed in green jackets and pink facings, white trowsers, with a green edge run up the thieh. They marched three deep, and kept time like the soldiers, to the tune the band was playing. After them came the band and colours of t he Ardfinnan men, horse and foot, in numbers and appointments the same as the Cahir men. But the Clogheen men, who closed the procession, sur ed them all in fi ne app earance o f t h e men , I) -- ase and in the numbers and the dress they wore.— There were at least two thousand on horseback, for all the world like a cavalry regiment, only they bad'nt swords, and among there were some of the best farmers in the comity and their s ons ._ When the bead of the cavalcade reached the bar racks, the last were at the workhouse, about a mile o ff, The town was full of countrymen from the surrounding c ountr y ; they all carried green branches in their hands , and wore green leaves in their hats, all that wasn't in the cavalcade, The process ion passed and repassed twice . through the principal g and kept as good streets, with their bands pi - ay thing' was carried on order as any soldiers. Eve r] with good humour. No noise or shouting, just like many regiments before a General at a review or grand tield-day . At the appointe d time they again assembled in the same-order in which they ca_me . Not a d run ken man wow to be seen, an d by four o'clock the town was entirely cleared of strangers. The military and police were kept in their barracks, ~rid not allowed to go to church. Fifty respectable townsmen formed themselves into special constables; for the purpose of preserving the peace. They went through all the public houses at ten o'clock at night, and turned everyone Out. All obeyed except in a single instance, when the man was taken to the river and ducked, amidst the applauses of the people, for disobedience of orders. Yesterday, at Fethard, a most numerous meeting took place; the people were all dressed in the same way. At Roscrea, ott the same, day, upwards of 20 , 00 0 assembled. But the meeting in the town of Tipperary, for the beau tiful dresses, and the horses, and the officers, sur e all the rest that was ever seen . or passed heard of in d scipline. They were 'Aliene tine appearance and di for the night on the farmers ar ound the town. w e are all united and happy, and never was there suc h pleasure in the county of Tipperary.—Tinter. No:perSon can read the frequent accounts of death occasioned by the fall of ruinous or ill constructed buildings in the metropolis, without a mixture of horror at the perso nal agony suf tered, and of indignation at the individuals to whom it can in almost every instance he traced. The case of the two houses which have recently tumbled-in Exeter-street-, is a dreadful one. A whole family were buried under one of then) ; and though three unhappy children were (lug out just alive, the poor mother, and an infant of two years old, perished, as did an unfortunate man at work in the street at the moment when the mass of rottenness was falling. It appears that these houses were only two out of several in the same street, which, on a late survey, are describ ed to be in the same dilapidated condition; that the two in question had been condemned seven ago,—had not paid any poor-rates for five years past—and were still left untouched by the owners, in the generous hope that some tenant might be found so wise as to repair them for the benefit of the lessors. We will not argue with selfishness, avarice, and indifference to the lives of fellow-creatures, but we do say that the Le gislature must interfere to protect the subjects of the realm—that inspectors must be appointed, and made to discharge with activity and fidelity the office of determining what house may be safely left to stand, and what shall, under a severe penalty, be put in a state of security. The risks to which life . is exposed through neglect and in humanity are shocking to every mind of the least The Constitntionnel has a long attack on the military operations of the Russians, in which they are spoken of as having shown a deficiency of military talent in the conduct of the campaign. The Duke of Wellington makes himself master of all the political science, necessary to govern an empire, in a day ; but far be it from us to presume that we understand any thing of the science in which he has gained .immortality, though we have had the benefit of perusing ;11 his honinoits despatches. There are some ob jections, however, made by the Constitutionnel to the conduct of the Russians, which it does not require much military skill to answer. The Berlin Gazette had observed that the Russians ought to avoid the mistake committed by Buo naparte at Moscow, in advancing too far from his - resources. Says the Constitutinnnel, the Russians at Shumla have sterility behind them, while Constantinople holds out abundant re sources to them ; and therefore in hastening on to Constantinople, they are hastening to their resources. But supposing the Russians were to take the advice .of the Constitutionnel, and fill the trenches with their dead, they have a long and difficult passage through the mountains to surmount, before they can enter the land of abun dance, every inch of which would probably be con tested ; and the attempt to take Shumla by as sault, defended as it is by so numerous a garri son, might weaken them so much as to render it hazardous to advance into Thrace. Again, were the Russian force before Shumla so large as to bear the loss sustained in carrying it by assault, and yet leave sufficient troops remaining for cross ing the Balkan, we are met by the difficulty of provisioning it. We throw out these observa • tions with the diffidence which it becomes us to entertain on a subject of which we know so little, On one subject we can speak more positively, and that is the proof which these operations of the Russians have afforded of the idleness of the apprehensions of those who have been predicting the downfall of our Indian Em pire, from the invasion of Russian armies on the side of Persia. Should they attempt such an invasion, without a previous occupation of the extensive regions between themselves and India, any force which could enter India, would be in stantly crushed. With regard to further con quests in Persia, we suspect the Russians begin to think they have already advanced far enough in that quarter—too far for their advantage.— Morning, Chronicle. A correspondent, who signs himself " A Master of a Family," and complains of a deci sion hi the County Court, relative to a servant who had summoned him for her wages, after ab senting herself from his house without leave for eight nights, seems to be mistaken as to the law of the case. He states, that the servant had made an agreement with her mistress for a " month's warning" or a " month's wages" on leaving the service—and ahhough the servant quitted the service without giving a month's warning, the Deputy of the County Court would not allow him to deduct a month's wages. If the Deputy had allowed him to make that de duction, he would have acted contrary to the de cisions in the Court of King's Bench on ques tions of this nature—and which have been long recognised by Judges as established by law. We speak not now (of course) of servants in hus bandry, and the servants of artificers, &c., whose contracts of service are regulated by particular Statutes ; but with respect to domestic servants in general the law is, that if a servant has not been guilty of misconduct, and the master dis charges him without .warning, the servant- will have a claim for a month's wages beyond the period of actual service, without any previous agreement to that effect. But for misconduct the master may discharge the servant at a moment's warning, although there should have been an agreement for a month's warning ; and, under such circumstances, the servant will be only en titled to such wages as ate due at the time of her discharge. The instances of misconduct which will allow a master thus suddenly to terminate the service, are such as being absent when wanted, sleeping from home at night without the master's leave, or moral turpitude, by which evil example May be brought Into a family. In our corres pondent's case the servant was entitled to the wages due to her up to the first of the eight nights during which she absented herself, and by her misconduct he was saved a month's wages • , for if he had discharged her, without such mis comluct on her part, he would have had to pay her for one month beyond the time she actually served ; but in no such case can he deduct a month actually due.—Monting Herald. If the Duke of Wellington is able to settle the Catholic Question at all, we trust it will be, a s has been intimated, by the simple process of o )e ns to. noN i v .o taki ng this we e ffi a c r e e 11 1 1. 1 e . doing away with the objectionable part of those , a ths w hich to a s l i l ib p sc e r r i s i would feel no very strong ob c7ilnieell t P hink the sober part of the country, of all ( ! enc l i n a c t i e j° e l :l s , ' there seems, in th e present in the stronger and better petrol]. and guards with which time and experien ce have Qtate of society, for tified the Protestant Church, no very stron g reaso ns why any part of the community should ma t ts e as damnabl e a nd be called upon to sti,, a religious b e y idolatrous' abstract points f , and those d points , of belief referring t.o the atreligraion nul Chedls of those who e rected the sp.e which o lir own Church now occupies, and who missals n and other proud monuments of the arts,b sculpture, and painting, which are the boast of past ages, as they are the ornamen ts of all. Mr. O'Gorman, and the other second rate Catholic orators, seemed terribly alarmed lest Emancipation be granted upon the terms of our payine; their pri c 'st. Such alarm is, we believe, perfectly groundless. At any rate we feel convinced; that even were Mr. O'Connell himself to turn round again, and re adopt these his own now repudiated offspring, the last, that of saddling the Catholic Priests upon the country, would never for a moment be heard of. If such were to be the case, the Presby terians, the Anabaptists, the Muggletonians, the Methodists—in short, the Dissenters of all de nominations, would have as well-grounded a claim for the State provisions for their respective Priesthoods ; and a new Chancellor of the Ex chequer must be appointed,. with a new annual Budget, to maintain the numerous sects into which the religious world choose to divide them selves. No : the State provides a form of reli gious worship for those who choose to confbrm to it. Those who choose to dissent from it are at liberty to do so. The Roman Catholics arc dissenters, like any other sect ; and they, and any others who choose to have a religion of their own, cannot in reason complain if they are com pelled to maintain their system of dissent at their own cost. Whatever may be proposed to be done towards the relief of the Catholics, nothing must be done or thought of which shall i n an y way endanger the stability of the Established Church—which would be seriously endangered if it were for a moment admitted that another priesthood besides its own should be saddled upon the State.—lbid. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—AFFAIR AT Lain GRESLEY'S.— Yesterday Joseph Smith, formerly coachman to her Lady ship, by whom he was indicted, along with other servants, for having conspired to deprive her Ladyship of her liberty in August last, made application to the sitting Magistrate (Sir R. BIRNIE) under the following circumstances :—He had been more than ten months in her service at the time when brought to Marlborough-street on the charge of con spiracy. When the servants were engaged in detaining her, as the only probable means they had of recovering the wages then due to them, he was in the stable, and took no part whatever in the transaction, although afterwards in cluded in the charge, and sent to the House of Correction. He understood that the legal proceedings were removed to the King's Bench, which, from the enormous expense it must create, would militate very severely against the poor servants, espcially as they were not yet'paid their wages. Sir R. BIRNIE had nothing whatever to do with the complainant's statement. He now stated that her Ladyship was indebted to him in the sum of 491. 12s. 5d., the amount of his wages, and several small sums of money he advanced to her on different occasions. Sir 11. BInNIR expressed his regret at not being able to afford him any assistance, especially as he had every reason to believe the correctness of his statement. He was very much astonished at the conduct of Lady Oresley, which was any thing but that of a - lady of sense. The complainant partly agreed with Sir Richard, but he begged leave to say that she showed no great want of sense in engaging servants to do her business, and discharg ing them for a conspiracy or impertinence when they de mand payment. Sir R. BIRNIE—You say you had nothing to do with the riot? Complainant—No, your Worship; but I was determined not to give up the coach and horses to any other man until I was paid my wages. Sir R. BIRNIE—Yon have received no part of the money due to you? Complainant—No, your Worship. A per son named Williams offered to give me 40/. if I gave up the coach and horses. Sir R. BritNie said, Marlborough-street-office was . the proper place for hive to make the application ; he would, however, recommend him to apply to an attorney. The complainant seemed very thankful for the advice, but he regretted to think, from his present circumstances, that no attorney would be willing to undertake his case. Yesterday morning Ann Peirse, better known as Lady Barrymore, was carried to this office in the arms of two street-keepers, her face and person covered with blood, and apparently in a dying state. Sir Rwft Aan Bum F.. directed that she should be conveyed to the waiting-room, and that surgical . assistance should be immediately sent for. A sur geon soon _after arrived, who having dressed her wound, stated that the hurt was not of a dangerous description. Inquiry was then instituted as to the cause of the fracas in which it was but too evident her ladyship had been con. cerned, when it was ascertained that a publican named Clint, who keeps the Blue Boar, Long-acre, had assaulted the wretched woman, by repeatedly striking her upon the head with a constable's staff. Ford the gaoler was imme diately despatched to take Clint into custody, and bring him before the Magistrates. He found him in his bar, and having told him the object of his visit, requested him to go quietly to the office. Clint, however, refitted to stir, unless Ford would produce a warrant, adding that he cared as little for the Magistrate as for Ford himself. The latter immediately sprung across the counter into the bar, and seizing Clint by the collar, never loosened his hold until he brought his prisoner before the Magis trates. Several witnesses were then examined touching the assault, when it appeared that the unfortunate wo man, who had only the day before been released from Tothill-fields prison, was proceeding through Long-acre, when she was surrounded by a number of boys, who began to annoy and call her names. She happened to make a stand opposite to the Blue Boar, when Clint, armed with a constable's staff, ran out, swearing he would " brain" her, if she did not immediately move on. The wretched woman, being is usual inebriated, resented the rough usage of the landlord by flinging a shoe which she held at the tap-room window—a mode of warfare which she has carried on with the most unrelenting vigour against these publicans who had happened to offend her. Clint instant'y felled her to the ground with a blow of the staff. He then repeated the stroke twice, and left her bathed in blood upon the pavement, in which state she was conveyed to Bow-street. . . Sir R. RrawrE—Bad as the unfortunate creature is, she must be protected from an outrage of this description.— You must find bail. The Magistrates then directed that the unfortunate woman should be conveyed to St. Martin's workhouse. QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday, soon after the sitting Magistrate (W. A. A. WHITE, Esq.) had taken his seat on the bench, Capt. Montague, of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, entered the office, and addressing Mr. White, said he was directed to make inquiry, whether a report which had appeared in some of the daily journals of Wed nesday la , t, respecting some sentinels in• the Park assault ing two females, was correct. Mr. WurrE ordered the clerk to be called in, who read the depositions over, which were the same in substance as appeared in the newspapers. Captain Montague—But, Sir, you did not receive the evideove of the soldiers. Mr. 'WHITE-Certainly not ; they Were the party com plained against. Captain Montague—l attended at the office with the soldiers to make a charge against the females for obstructing them in the execution of their duty. Mr. WHITE-Then, Sir, if you had any charge to make, yo❑ should not have gone away. • Captain Montague—You told me, Sir, there was no oc casion for my waiting. Mr. WHITE-Because the charge was against the sol- 1 diers, and not against the women. You could have waited if you chose. Captain Montague—The uewspapers assert that you said, " You did not consider the Park under the control of the military :" is this correct? Mr. WHITE-1 hope, Captain Montague, you do not come here for the purpose of quarrelling with me? Captain Montague—Oh on, not at all ; I only want the matter explained. Mr. WRITE-You have heard the depositions read. Captain Montague—Ant 1 to understand that you (1,-cline answering my question? Mr. WurrF—l do not consider, Captain Montagne, that you come here in a proper temper to ask the question. Captain Montague—Then, Sir, I am to understand you decline answering the question. Here is a newspaper con taining the as,ertion. [Captain Montague here produced a newspaper containinc , the report.] Mr. WHITE—When I answer• the question, 1 stedlcom municate it through another channel. Captain Alontagne—Then you refuse to answer me the question? Alr. White—Certainly, man, named David ' Wood, . , Captain Montague then left the office. M ARYLEBONE.--RATHER SUF;PWIOII4.—A yonns , named Barham ; residing in Upper Baker-street, Portman square, La , r e l ; 1 with B m a i t l t ,„ e i t n n pt statedit o was vio ‘ l . a d a t s e y e o o h t t l i d e n i g . I g tf e f i e l able personal charms.' f emale his 1 a ) ) s i r e e servant o r f an: o t n n t ;t e a l; It appeared, that after Mr. Bar ham had retired to rest on Monday night he was alarmed at hearing an utusul noise, and on proceeding into the passage he saw the defendant creeping along the staircase, alinost in the act of opening the door of the servant's apart ment, and having on neither hat, coat, or shoes. The de fendant had scaled a high wall and mounted a cistern 12 feet high to gain admission into the premises. Wood, in answer to the charge, said, that he had court. ed the young girl in question for five years, and it was his invariable practice to bid her adieu every evening before he retired to rest. On Monday night she appeared rather fanciful and out of temper, and refused to return his salu tation, which preyed so much on his mind that he could not compose himself to sleep, and therefore entered Mr. Barharn's dwelling to afford her an opportunity to atone for her violence towards him in the early part of the evening. After the above explanation, the MAGISTRATE expressed his belief that Wood had no felonious intention in ap proaching the servant's bed-room, and he was therefore discharged. FIATTON-GARDEN. —Duffle/ Magrath, a young man of about 22 years of age, a native of Carlow, in Ireland, was brought up in custody of Brundley and Upward, two of the Bow-street patrol, charged with being a deserter from the 41st Regiment of Foot, now lying at Dover. An accurate description of his person was taken, and he was committed to prison. AIARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Mr. Verrey, a con fectioner in Regent-street, whose shop has been for some time attraction to the lower order of the idle and the curious, who assemble round the door and windows to catch a glimpse at a supposed female beauty (by the way, a very ordinary girl) to he seen there, came yesterday to this Office, accompanied by Mr. Fearon a solicitor, to state to the Magistrate that although the young female in question was his own daughter, and not, as supposed, a shop girl, placed there for the purpose of attraction, and although the girl, from her speaking English, as well as ALL the Continental languages (!), was the chief manager of his business and his accounts, yet so completely was the proceeding of the mob collected daily round his door and windows ruining his trade and likely to destroy all his pro spects of success in his business, that he was compelled to part with his daughter, and he had therefore sent her out of the country at a serious loss to him, to join her rela tions again in her own country (Switzerland) ; and he hoped, therefore, that he might in future be permitted to carry on his business without interruption. Mr. Verrey himself not speaking English, Mr. Fearon made this state ment on his behalf, and said that Mr. Verrey and his fa mily had not only been thus injured most seriously in their business, but they had been grossly abused, insulted, and their lives endangered . by stones flung into the shop at them from the mob without; but he (Mr. Fearon) was happy to say for the character of his country, that it was only the very lowest of the rabble who had thus shamefully conducted themselves towards a stranger and a foreigner. The MAGISTRATE was sorry for the manner in which Mr. Verrey had been treated ; and he was sure it was only the very worst part of the community that would so behave. ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH. On Wednesday a most respectable as;:emblage of the parishioners of St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street, was held in the inquest room of the church, pursuant to a notice requesting the parishioners to take into con sideration the reports of the surveyors on the pre sent state of the church. At one o'clock, Mr. SHEPHERD, one of the churchwardens, took the chair. He requested their serious attention to the objects for which they were assembled. On the 19th of July last a cracking was heard in the north-west angle of the gallery, proceeding from a stone column which supported it. Application was immediately made to a surveyor, who reported the building to he unsound, more par ticularly the timbers, and the church was closed. The gallery was also in a bad state, the turret was damaged frdm the weather, and the tower was bulged in more than one place. The church was built in the 13th century, and is composed of free stone, chalk, and stubble, the more modern parts being stuccoed. The wall of the ancient structure, although not unsafe, had decayed from age, as well as the foundation. The roof was found to he com posed of oak and fir, converted into use from old materials about a century ago; and it was covered with copper instead of lead, for the weight of the latter metal must inevitably have brought it down. The meeting, after hearing the report, would de termine whether a new church should he erected, or what repairs should be made to the present edifice. In his opiniton Government would assist them, as well as the Corporation of London, for both were now most anxious to embellish the metropolis, and , widen the streets. Mr. CHALONER observed, that in 1821, 4,000/, was expended on repairs of the church. Mr. RAMSHAIV, a Common Councilman of the Ward, said he had examined the church, which he found to be in a dangerous state; the timbers were in many parts rotten. In his opinion, it would be better to rebuild the church, and sell the old mate which would no doubt fetch a considerable sum. There could be no question but the Commis sioners for building Churches, as also the Corpora tion of London, would contribute to the erection of a new church, Mr. CHALONER enquired whether, if the mate rials of the church were sold, the proceeds would not go into the pocket of the Rector ; he well knew that, in law, it was his property. The CHAIRMAN said, that the Rev, Mr. Lloyd, he was certain, would not think of making any claim upon the materials of the church. Mr. BUTTERWORTH urged the necessity of erect ing a new church, and pulling down the present structure, thereby bringing Fleet-street in a level, destroying the unsightly projection of a part of the church; this could easily be done by pulling down Hen and Chicken-court, and the chambers at the east end of Clifford's Inn-passsge. It was proposed that a Committee of 21 be ap pointed to act. Mr. BROWN said, that the parish had already ex pended immense sums in shoring up and repairing the building ; and now it was clearly shown that a new church would cost little more than the repairing of the old one. _ Mr. WARWICK Said he thought the meeting should come to a determination whether the church should not be shored up forthwith, without waiting a monta► for the report of the Committee, as, in all probability, ad interim, the roof might give way, and some fellow-creatures f►ll a sacrifice, parti cularly as marriages, christenings, &c., were still performed there. Mr. BURNELL, the surveyor, said the roof was in a dangerous state from the decay of the timbers, and he considered prompt caution necessary to pre vent accident. Mr. RAmstiAw again addressed the meeting, and stated that the danger of thechurch was greater than apprehended. The Committee for St. Dunstan's Parish were then mimed, leaving to the Rolls' 'Liberty to ap point eight other persons to join them. Mr. BUTTERWoRTII moved that a limited sum Should be expended for the purpose of shoring up the dangerous part of the church, so as to enable marriages, christemnr, &c. to be performed. Agreed to. Before and after the meeting revere! of the parish ioners visited the gallery and belfry of this ancient structure, and the appearance of ruin and decay were most palpable; the ends of the great tie-belmc are quite rotten, and the tower, containing the bells, is more than a foot out of the perpendicular. The celebrated — itAßELAts is said to have made the following will :—" I owe much—l have no thing—l give the rest to the poor." • Nesterday the inquest was resumed on the body of the child which was found near the New Bethlem, and supposed to have been murdered. The woman, whose name is HERBERT, and who was supposed to have some knowledge of the hotly, was again brought Wore the Jury. She stated, that although the observa tion she used on Wednesday would lead to the supposition that she had known the child when alive, she declared that she had no knowledge of it ; and what she had then ut tered was caused by intoxication, which she was sorry to grate she then laboured under. Her story was partly cor roborated by her husband and other persons, and she was set at liberty. No further evidence having been produced, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilfui Murder against vane person or persons unknown," ST. PAUL'S, COVENT•GARDEN. A considerable number of the parishioners of this parish assetnbled yesterday at the Vestry-room, in an open Vestry, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the draft of a Bill, prepared by a Select Committee appointed by the parishioners, and to which it is intended to request the sanction of the Legislature, as a means of putting an end to those unhappy dissensions which have so long divided and distracted this parish. At ten o'clock Mr. Dow was, according to the powers vested in the parishioners by Act of Parl'.a ment, voted into the Chair, and Mr. W. YOCKNEY then proceeded to explain the reasons which induced the Committee to call the parishioners together, and conchided by moving a Resolution for the sanction of the Meeting. The Resolution was seconded by Mr. HAYES. The draft of the Bill, being read, Mr. PruLLIPs informed his fellow-parishioners, that the objects of the Bill had been explained to the Duke of Bedford, to Sir Francis Burdett, to Dr. Randolph, and to Lord John Russell. From the Duke of Bedford no answer had yet been received, but it was understood that he had no serious objec tions to the Bill. Sir Francis Burdett had expressed an opinion that it would have the effect of prevent ing dissensions in the parish—the end which the Committee contemplated ; from Lord John Russell, in consequence of his absence in the country, no an swer had yet been received; but Dr. Randolph had declared that lie considered it a party Bill, and was determined to have nothing to do with it. Mr. WALKER having addressed the Meeting in defence of the provision of the bill, Mr. FEW expressed an opinion that as Mr. Hob house had given notice of his intention to bring in a Bill for the purpose of putting an end to the Select Vestry system throughout the kingdom, it would be infinitely better for the parishioners of St. Paul's to wait the result of that Bill in order to ascertain whe ther it would not accomplish their object without incurring an expense of 800/. or 1,000/. on the part of the parish. This proposition seeming to receive the general concurrence of the Meeting, it was suggested that Mr. Few should offer it as an amendment. Mr. FEW, however, declared, that he threw it out merely as a suggestion, and that he was not at all disposed, to take any part in the proceedings of the Meeting. Mr. W. YOCKNEY then intimated his intention to embody the suggestion in the original Resolution, and the following words were added accordingly : " That it be recommended to the said Committee to take the necessary steps, and give the.proper and legal notices; but that if any general and public enactment be introduced into Parliament, which the Committee should be of opinion would supersede the necessity of the contemplated Bill, that then the said Bill he not proceeded in until a Meeting of the Parishioners in Vestry has been convened, and their sense taken on the same." The Resolution, with this addition, was then car ried unanimously, and almost by acclamation. LONDON SESSIONS, SEPT. 25. Mr. PAYNE, (a young banister), in the interval between a trial for an assault and another case, re nested to be informed at what time it would be the pleasure of the Court to hear the parish appeal s . Great inconvenience had, he said, arisen from the delays which so frequently took place. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN shook his head, and said they must stand over. It was impossible they could be taken that day, the business which must come on being very great and important. Mr. PAYNE hoped that some arrangements would be made by which the inconvenience he alluded to would be removed. -- Sir JOHN PERRING (/Daunt tenen.s for the Lord Mayor) said the Court had other business before it, and could not attend to the Learned Gentleman on that subject. Mr. PAYNE said, he had been some time wait ing for the opportunity of addressing a few words to the Court, and be ascertained that nothing was be fore the Court previously to his presenting himself. He repeated, that the inconvenience which resulted from reiterated postponements and delays was mat ter of very serious complaint, and he did not see why a respectful remonstrance to the Court should not be entitled to some attention. Two of the Aldermen—We can't hear you ; there is something else before the Court. Sir J. PERRING—No, no, Sir ; we can't hear you. Go on with the other business (to the other counsel.) Some of the old counsel joined the bench in the strong disapprobation of Mr. Payne's endeavour to be heard. They declared that he ought not to say a word. The parish appeals could not be brought forward that day, so that that question was settled. Mr. PAYNE said, that if such postponements took place so frequently, he should be compelled to re monstrate as often. He meant nothing disrespect ful to the Court in reminding it of a certain cause of complaint, in the hope that the Court would, in its wisdom, remedy the evil. The Learned SERGEANT (to Mr. Payne)—Sir, we having been doing business in this way these hun dred years, and we have done it well, and shall per severe. (Laugh ter.) Mr. PAYNE here stated that this mode of doing • business well was exemplified on this occasion, where parishes were put to the expense of the attendance of witnesses and all the law charges during three sessions, and now, it appeared, had to wait for a fourth. He had, of course, nothing to complain of professionally. A strange case succeeded this conversation. The father of a little girl, about 10 years of age, was in dicted for chaining her, and using her in other re spects with excessive cruelty ; and her grandmother was indicted for aiding and assisting the father. A witness stated that he had gone to the apart ments of the male defendant, and saw the child chained to a large piece of iron. The child cried bitterly. The little girl deposed that her father chained her from Tuesday morning till Friday night, and heat her likewise. (Here she seemed disposed to whimper.) Mr. PHILLIPS, counsel for the defendants.—Gen tlemen of the Jury, this is one of the most barefaced impositions you ever witnessed. We admit that she was chained, and chastened otherwise too; but the fact is this :—Her father is a poor tailor, and lie has a drunken wife, who is in the workhouse. As the daughter had some of her mother's blood in her, he determined to prevent her from going into the streets whenever she pleased, and was absolutely obliged to chain her to his goose to restrain her hereditary impetuosity.—(Laughter.)—But what would the Jury say when they found that she actually went into the streets, goose and all, notwithstanding the prohibition ?—(Loud laughter.) Mr. PHILLIPS then cross-examined the girl. Pray, my dear, what did your father chain you to the goose for ?'—Cause I wanted to go to BartlemY fair. And did you run away with the goose, chain and all ?—Why, I (lid go away. With the goose ?—Yes, along with the goose. You did'nt lly with the goose did' you ?—No, it wa'nt a goose what would fly. The Learned SERGEANT said, it had been stated that the child got no food. Mr.. PHILLIPS—Look at her. I never saw a finer l f ato at i te h r t c e l r i for a tailor's child in a ll m y The Learned .) S ERGEA NT—Did your father give you enough to eat ?—No ; but my grandmother did. Alderman VENABLES—It was really a shame to bring such a case as this into Court. We admit the impropriety of punishing in this w a y, b ut the ease ought not to be brought here. Mr. PHILLIPS further proved by the cross4xami nation, that the defendant unchained his daughter at bed-time, and she never had any mark of punish ment. upon her, The Jury acquitted the defendants, ; INVERNESS ASSIZES. The Circuit CoUrt of Justiciary was opene d at Inverness, on Wednesday, by the LORD JusTies CLERK and Lord MACKENZIE. kri Alexander Forbes, wood-merchant, at Can_,lill' e l In s ‘t , was put to the bar, accused of having, on the '4 l,l° '' i , i - qi fur last month, induced P James Macpherson, late ticks - , trificli2 man of Lagnalian, to drink a quantity of rile' 6, ) mixed with whiskey, which caused his death the ; L latd - Isle lowing day. He pleaded " not guilty." 11 4 c all`' ',IIP iag Dr. Forbes deponed that the immediate ~ Pr ; l4, of death was apoplexy, brought on by exceso ve ? i•qttett e Y drinking. fit 1 fol- : 4 4 auto Mr. DUNDAS submitted to the:Jury that the eli f f e z a 4ii was completely brought home to the prisoner, Wh o 40Posals had strictly concealed the nature of the mixture he )7 4 , Biita had secretly made in another room, and urgent l Y ' t"t* t pressed them to drink in the face of the remoastra nce ' , h a i ° " 1 will be . 1 „ of the servant, that " he would kill the men." `. ..p Mr. COCKBURN then addressed the Jury for tbe, - ar, Wol f 4 panel. It appeared from the evidence to be (.. -4: r in __ --- a foolish plot to get his neighbours drunk ; he Yd" 'hwith 1 mitted Forbes was culpable in being concerned ' fi r: litrWei such a disgraceful affair ; for this, however, he vi a l A K sufficiently punished in being placed at the bar, fin i.

Ni l - L i " that such a misfortune took place; but although i l . le t ; t 4 sab - Z 4 . 4 , had been guilty of impropriety, he submitted that. ' ulfS a .: he was not of any crime. He (Mr. Cockburn) In ;t 'Ne:. heard of a similar case :—A German giant had visit etl kh..i Edinburgh, and proclaimed the Scots to be a dig n l c i .', . native race, unable to stand much drink.

Would not this form a very odd indictmen t ' Yet it would be equally consistent with the present' '.; ) :1 0...., Mr. Cockburn concluded by craving a verdict u' ' '''''', ' i SS acquittal. vii l% a, The LORD JUSTICE CLERK summed up the e- f . ° tl l ,. , 1 dente.

The Jury retired for about an hour, and rettlrn e 'lin ' Sts rep a verdict of " Not proven," by a majority. ii '' , T r ctrfe The verdict was quite unexpected, and the Los -- JUSTICE CLERK said that it appeared the Jury We l l ~.1 , 7 0f : 1 not unanimous, neither was he surprised at it, al !. 1 .4 41 he would now state that the Court conctuTed wi t- ' :., . 4 - al ! 29 3 of the minority.
