SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC. JOURNALS. Report begins to display some confidence in assigning to the Bishop of Chester the See of London., about to be vacated by the promotion of Dr. Howley to the Primacy. Dr. Blom f:eld's merits are - such, perhaps, as cannot, in these critical times, be passed over by a Ministry zealous in its Tory spirit, and in its anti-Catholic professions. Bishop Blomfield was a good . Greek scholar at-the University. His Lordship has in Parliament shown himself stifrand some what eager in debate—a sharp and unflinching controversialist—a willing ministerial servant— a forward speaking Bishop. Of course it is no argument in disfavour of Dr. Blomfield—we mean with those who direct the translations of the Right Rev. Bench—that he has formerly been of politics less loved at Court than those which he now professes and inculcates. What is in Turkey a renegado, is here a proselyte ; and since such men are often forced by their condition to go all lengths for those who, eir= ploy them, their convenience as instruments is so obvious, that they are treated as they ought to be if their virtues were their only recommen dations. We dare to conjecture, that Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln, however distinguished fox learning, consistency, - liberality, mildness, and purity, for that meek bearing "(which endears him to society) of faculties which have long rendered him an. ornament of the church—we dare to say that such a Prelate would be consi dered a far less convertible and profitable par tisan than one more meddling, worldly, and pugnacious. It is probable, that whatever may become of piety anti benevolence, which form the spiritual portion of Christianity, the Minis ters will, so manage bn the present occasion that the temporalities of the church may be sine to-find defenders. The lands Of Canada for that ! •Is it true that Dr. Wellesley will be the new Bishop.? In that case, we should imagine it must be a false report that. Lord Liverpool refused the Duke of Wellington's application on behalf of the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman some years ago, and equally false that the reasons as signed by his Lordship for the refusal were not of 'a nature' the most flattering to the Rev. Gen tleman's pretensions.— Times. The-Parliamentary Report on the Polite of the Metropolis, of which we have already pub lished several portions, contains a great deal of interesting matter, but does not seem to us to exhibit, on some points at least of which it treats, much depth of examination or acuteness of reasoning. For the evils, .or alleged evils, attending the system of compromise with rogues, to obtain restitution, on certain terms, of the property which they have stolen, there is, in our judgment; but one effectual remedy. The means of detection for crimes already perpe trated, are carried, perhaps, as far • as they can go by the mere machinery of legislation. Little more, we presume, can be done in that respect, than by holding out encouragement to the dis- coverers of the culprits, and prosecuting the: s eamed, end punishing the guilty. If; however, the parties who have been robbed prefer, as is most natural, the restitution of their property, or of a considerable proportion of it, to the in fliction of vengeance on their plunderers, we know not of any efictual measure whereby the Legislature can hope to prevail on men to fore go their own interest for the sake of .the public, and to sit down, under a loss ;o£ thousands of pounds, with no other -indemnification than the hanging, transporting, of imprisonment of 'a notorious thief, when they have it in their power recover their money by releasing the said thief Iroin the consequences of a criminal.pros see otion, It is quite absurd to.exclairn against this practice, so far as relates to . the parties themselves who have been robbed, whatever I may be thought of the officers of public , justice, who lend, themselves to expedients for redeeming property by sparing the violators of the law. The single suggestion worth , listening to is that of diminishing such compro mises, by preventing the crimes whence they ori ginate ; and this can-be done, as it seems to us, by no method but that of reinforcing the means of prevention already 'in existence—namely, by multiplying the subaltern ministers of' justice, raising their pay so as to make their honesty more profitable on the overage than their base ,less, and sthnulating their praiseworthy ambi tion, by holding out to them a prospect of gradually rising in the department under which they serve, The causes stated by the Com mittee as accounting for the increased frequency, though not malignity of crime, we think are not deserving of much attention. With the single exception of the ruinously low price of spirits, the grounds alleged by the Com mittee, such as ne glect of children, ilasheliouses, &c. &e., are but secondary or auxiliary : causes of crime ; for what i s s i the reason that people PAW neglect. their child; en, if the fact he. so, more than in former ages? What is the reason that people frequent flash-houses (which always must . have existed - under other namb;ll more industriously now than their ancestors did before them ? Why should inordinately large vvago; be given to London journeymen at this moment, .40 as to encourage drunkenness to a greater degree than ever The Committee ought to. have gone,somewhat deeper into the subject, oe been satisfied to ac knowledge that what they deseribaLl as originating causes, were in reality nothing more than effects, of which the foundations were unknown to them, Upon one point tvd go beyond the Committee, and are' convinced that the reduction of the spirit duties was the most u nstatesnianlike, profligate, and calamitous measure, that could Lase been devised for ruining the-health and inoralesof t h e people.—lbid. • "We have never known a gaol deli Very;" says the Essex Herald, " wherein a stronger proof snanifested itself of the great caution used by the.. s si jistracy of this county in c ommitting.perso ns to orison, Of thirty-nine prisoners, six only wor e acquitted, and two were discharged by pro clamation ; one of the l atter esca p e d in cense quence of his giving evidence against his accom pikes." 'We here see the beneficial effects of I the attention bestowed by the Press on the con duct of the Magistracy. When Sir. Francis. Burdett first brought the pra.e4es of flogging soldiers before Parliament, he was abuse 4 beyond measure, and it was stoutly contended that flogging was never resorted-to, except when ab solutely necessary. However, the dread of pub.: Re notice led officers to exercise a little ingpn%);ty in the management of their men, :55 at: to be a w e to economize corporal punishment ; and tlia con sequence is, that it has been found that rogi, ments can be kept under very good discipline with very little flogging. In the seine manner, though the Unpaid Magistracy were the glory of England, and it was impossible for any set of men to conduct themselves in a more merito rious manner, yet we see the same Magistrates. who, a few years ago, committed with such libe rality that the acquittals were as numerous as the j convictiOns, now . contrive to have the convic tions six times as numerous as the acquittals. Who has not read the novels of Fielding and Smollett, both of whom held up this practice of committing without • investigation to deserved execration i ? Few Magistrates have not read. Joseph Andrews," in which tie evil which prevailed to our own days is described by the hand of a master. 'f The clerk having finished the depositions as well of. the fellow himself as of those who apprehended the prisoner, delivered_ them to the Justice ; who, having sworn the several witnesses without reading a syllable, or- . dered his clerk to make out the mittimus. Adams then said, ' he hoped he should not be condemned unheard.' ' No, no,' cries the Jus tice, ' you will be asked what you have to say for yourself, when you come on your trial : we are . not trying you now ; I shall only commit you -to gaol f if you can prove your innocence at Size, you will be found ignoramus, and so no harm done.' Is it no punishment, Sit, for an innocent man to lie several months in gaol ?' cries Adams. , I beg you would at least hear me, before you sign the mittimus.' ' What sig nifies all you can say,' says the Justice, ' is it not here in black and white against you ?J I must tell you, you are a very impertinent fellow to take-up so much of my time—So make haste with his mittimus.' " Common humanity, one should think, would impress a Magistrate with the importance of committing for trial as few in nocent persons. as possible, and induce him to spare no pains in sifting such cases as come be fore him, in order to be assured.that he is not exposing the innocent to almost certain ruin. Yet we see how inefficacious the humanity of INlae ° istrates has been when the prisons continued to be crowded with persons who ought never to have been committed ; and hoW efficacious, on the other hand, the dread of exposure has been when, suddenly after public attention had been drawn to the subject, the commitments exceed by little the convictions. No means by which men are to be influenced to discharge their. duty more attentively are to be neglected. There are individuals of such inflexible virtue that their conduct would be' equally meritorious under all circumstances. But there are others who alight occasionally be somewhat more indulgent to themselves than necessary, if they were not kept in check by, the consciousness that the , eyes of many are upon them. It has been s often oh- . served that numbers keep each other iu counte nance. But it may, also, be observed, that where censure is felt, no man who feels himself innocent likes to share the blame of those who have misconducted themselves.' Hence, in a re gitnent, there will be little disposition in Officers anxious for the character of their regiment,- to countenance. • an Officer tyrannically disposed, by whose acts that character might suffer.. We may be sure, too, that when, as in Essex, the Magistrates are so far alive to what they owe to their reputations, as to wish to escape the dis grace of frequent acquittals, they will not look with indulgence. on those of their number who .. nugnt act in a contrary spirit. The same prin-, ciple which leads wrong-doers to keep each other , in countenance, leads the meritorious to dis countenanceahose who, may deprive them of the credit due to their virtues. We are no great admirers- of the Institution of unpaid ; but we rejoice 'to see them priding themselves . on the conscientious discharge - of their duties, and aiming at results indicative of the success of their endeavours. Essex is no doubt in many re spects a favourable specimen. It contains a ' more thin usual proportion of able Magistrates, and among others Mr. Western, the Member for the County, who again and again raised' his voice against the demoralising effects of the accumulation of untried prisoners in gaols, and succeeded in obtaining a third Session for the Home Counties. His excellent letter, lately published, advocates powerfully the importance of extending . the improvement, by more frequent Sessions—a measure which would be attended with the most beneficial effects to the country. On a future (la) we shall advert more particu larly to this production.—Morning Chronicle. We present our readers, in another part of our paper, with a portion of the Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the system of Metropolitan Police, and the cause of the increase of criminal commitments in London and Middlesex. To the good intentions which prompted the inquiry, and the zeal with which it has been prosecuted, we are willing to bear the strongest testimony ; and it would afford us equal pleasure to speak of the Report as either explain ing the causes which have led to the deplorable increase of crime which has taken place within the last year, or as suggesting a remedy which would diminish its amount in future ; but in neither the one case nor the other, do we feel ourselves at liberty to do so ; and when we state that the Committee have reported to the House of Commons, ° ein-drinking, and the high rate of wages awarded to the working classes, as the main causes of - the increase of crime, we think our readers will agree with us, that, however abundant in zeal, a Committee more deficient in knowledge, or more incapable of reporting on so important a subject as the increase of crime, never yet presented a Report at the table of the House.—First, as to gin-drinking. The Com mittee state in their Report upon the evi- . dence of what they term " a mot intelligent officer," that " you may have very good gin at two-pence halfpenny a quartern, ten pence a pint ; that what is called famous is threepence—that is, a shilling a pint ; and that this shilling a-pint gin is what is called ' blue ruin t"' Now this evidence of' " a most intel ligent officer," is neither more nor less than a gross rnis-statement—falsebood, some persons would probably terra it ; for the lowest price of anythin g entitled to the name of gin, is four , . pence, and that which is denominated famous in his evidence is firepence per quartern—being -exactly double the price which his and experience" was . " intelligence pleased to put upon it ! But this is not all. If gin -drinking is now the Cause of crime, in consequence of its low price, Ihow comes it diat crime was increasing at even rate than it n ow i s , previously to c heap, which i s on l y t h ree years truth his, that cheap spirits of any kind never l e d, either in this or in any other' gontry, to drunkenness and habits of intoxi cation, t tl Q ie b: o p n r tr p a c ry tir . ed, \V is ha g t e i n s e r r a a r i e ly , but rather dear, and difficult ht after • wbat is uncap, and an object that is song : , .. • , .. . , generally despispcl; and ConSesiliently common, experience to hold this rule has bean p ro ved by . s Cheap in the good in every instance, Wino l South of trance ; but the wine-grower s ire gene rally the most sober part of the population: Opp, sional drunkenness was a general vice in Scot, : land previously to the reduction of the duties on Iwhiskey-=-now it is . fast wearing out of fashion. So much for the gin-drinking part of the Report. of the Select Committee. Let us-now see whe ther the Report respecting the high wages of the working classes will bear examination. To the questions— • " Do you mean that the wages received by those people for one day or two days in the week are sufficient to sup port them for the remainder of the week ?—There are many trades who do not go to work till Friday morning; in some of those trades, two or three days is all they work, because they have piece-work. " What trades are those?—Shoemakers and tailors in particular." The above answers were returned ; and who ever may have given the evidence (we should _not have said a word respecting it, had not the Committee placed the most implicit reliance upon it), it is not too much to say that it is a downright fabrication from beginning to end— without any semblance of truth, and with the grossest marks of ignorance or falsehood. In the name of all the working classes in the me-• tropolis, we protest againgt this statement as ut-, terly untrue. There is no class of them, whether tailors or shoemakers, who can afford to " play Hell and Tommy" during ~five days of the week, and who only require to work during two in order to maintain them selves. On the contrary - (and we consider our selves, from no indifferent experience, better judges of the fact than any witness who came before the Committee), it. will be found that the working classes, generally speaking, work nomi nally during six days in the week, but in reality, by means of extra hours—that is to say, four teen or sixteen per day—actually seven, and that .for the whole of this toil they do not, on the best.and most favourable average which could be ' struck, earn more than thirty shillings per week ! Is this too much for even a single man to, sup port himself upon with any sort of decency and comfort ?—and if be happens to have a family, what is the amount which he can afford to spend on,the famous blue ruin which the " intelligent officer" examined by the Committee said could be purchased at threepence per quartern ? But it would.he foolish to pursue this subject further. The Committee having no knowledge of the *subject into which it was appointed to inquire, his been grossly imposed upon ; it has reported according to the evidence, and the Report is, in consequence, exceedingly fallacious.—Morning Advertiser. An Evening Ministerial Paper, which an nounced, a few days ago, that the Government were about to adopt strong measures against the Irish, now says that " we do - hope no measures will be necessary ; that the great fact, officially stated, of the improved state of the trade, manu factures, and revenue of Ireland, will p ro d uce a conviction, an the part of the Irish people, that the pacification and welfare of Ireland depend, in the first instance, more upon themselves than the Government." Our contemporary might hive added, and in the second instance, too, and, every instance to the end of the chapter. A overnment can do little for a people who are determined to do nothing for themselves. But truly this conduct of our contemporary presents as amusing a specinien of see-saw work as we ever recollect to have witnessed. One day troops must be sent to quell a rebellion which. had broken out, and new legislative measures must be adopted to put down the demagogues : the next day we have a whining paragraph, hoping that nothing of the sort will be necessary. Our 3 contemporaryis rejoiced at the improved state of the country, and intimates that industry can only produce its desired results during peaceable times. So we say; lAA we should like to know how it happens (seeing Ireland has been in so disturbed a state, according to our contempo rary's showing) that " the present year has been marked by a revival of agriculture and ma nufacturing industry, an excitement of trade, and a consequent increase of Revenue ?" The best answer, however, to all the stories about the in surrectionary state of Ireland has been furnished by the Dublin Evening Post. it consists of extracts from the charges of the different Judges to the Irish Grand Juries. They.are • all pretty much alike ; that is, they give the lie direct to the assertions of the London Papers. We shall give one specimen from the charge of Judge, Vandaleur. His Lordship said that "he felt great satisfaction in being enabled to congratu , late the Grand Jury on the tranquil state of the country. It was gratifying to see no charge of an insurrectionary nature." These observa tions were made at Fermanagh, which is in the North of Ireland, and consequently the scene of the alleged rebellion. It is useless, however, to adduce farther proofs of the falsity of the asser tions of our contemporaries, as they themselves are sensible of their error, if indeed they ever believed their own statements.—Morning Herald. A detailed account was received yesterday, o the revolt in Madeira against Don Miguel, or rather as it may he more properly designated, the stand made in Madeira in favour of Don PedrO. It will be rather a curious circumstance if these islands should remain with Brazil, and Portugal be torn from it. For the moment, and perhaps for a long time, Madeira is free from all danger of a visit from the power of the usurper. Unhappily, like the territories over which, for their misfortune, he at present reigns, Madeira has its priests, and they, ?is in duty bound, have taken the side of the. tyrant ; on the call of their bishop, as it is said, but the call of their own disposi tion, to lord over the community, would, we fancy, be its more correct description. They denounced the Governor and the friends of Don :Pedro as heretics, a term Which is happily so. indefinite, and' so comprehensive, that it can rarely be misapplied. Six hundred of the country people rose at the command. .of the Bishop and the Priests ; they were met by the stout. old Go`vernor Valdez with two hundred soldiere, and in an instant routed and put to flight, with the loss of eleven pri soners, thirteen wounded, and nice, or as some more merciful accounts say, four killed. The insurgents appear to have had a bog in their rear, or at the least the Priests had, for, not withstanding every search for them, none of those reverend rebels had been found when the' accounts, which came' down to the 3d instant, left the island. We - hope that by the date of the next letters the search will have proved more successful. If the Governor be as prudent as he is brave, ho will do well to put these "stirrers up 1 of the people" out of the island as speedily as possible. There is a vessel used by the Dutch — a dogger we believe it is called—that is admir ably adapted for such transportation. It sails al ways before the wind, and C4ll S4ll no other course, if Gen. Valdez can fall in with any such in the harbours of the island, lie has only to stow the good Fathers in the hold, with a due allowance of hogs and wine, brace the yards athwart, and lash the helm midships, they will be sure to reach some land or other in the course of the year. The English in Madeira, who are nume rous, were called on by the Governor to assist him, but they determined, it is said, to reniain neutral. 'We cannot say we altogether approve of their 'resolution, though, perhaps, circum stances justified it. We think that, in a contest between the existing authority and a faction, any man who receives protection. from the former may be justly called on to aid it with his arm and with, his purse. The line of conduct for the English as a nation, and for Englishmen domiciled in a foreign country as individuals, in cases of civil war, are, in the nature of things, to be regulated by different rules.—Neve Times.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A Cunrong CASE. Yesterday Sir G. FARRA NT was engaged for a consider able time in the private parlour in investigating the follow ing curious charge of felony, preferred by a gentleman of the name of Lawson, residing in East-street,• Red Lior-, square, against a remarkably interesting and fashionably dressed female of the name Of Ryan. The Magistrates' table was covered with articles of the most splendid description, being part of the :property alleged to have been stolen, and which Goddard and Avis had found in a house in Tottenham-mut-road. Some pawnbrokers were also in attendance with property pledged. The female, on being brought in, wept most bitterly, when Sir GEORGE desired her to be seated. Mr. Lawson deposed that the female had lived with him for some time; when about Sx months since be had occa sion to go out of town, when he left the female in posses sion of his furniture. On his return she had decamped, taking with her nearly all his property. Sir G. FARRANT-Did she live with you as a savant ? —Mr. Lawsen--No, Sir, she lived with me as my wife, when, owing ,to improper. conduct, I desired her to give up my keys, and to go about her business ; and upon my return, I found on the table a note, in which she stated she had taken the things, and that I might prosecute bar as soon as I pleased. _ Sir G. * FA attaNT—That alters the case; but does the female claim any part of the property ?—Miss Ryan— Most certainly, Sir, I claim the whole of these articles. Miss Ryan then stated, that she formerly carried on business in Regent-street, when she unfortunately became acquainted with the prosecutor; he was in the habit of visiting her, and informed her that his wife bad left hint, after robbing him of thousands ; he then made offers to her, and believing him and his account to be true, she went and lived with him, and he afterwards pressed her to marry birth, and he went to St. George's, Hanover-square, for that purpose, but she refused to marry him in consequence of his wife being alive; they then went to live iu Devonshire street, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, where they passed for man and wife. Whilst living there she heard that his wife was very ill, and she went to her and found her living in a cellar, in a very distressed state, having at the same tune the typhus fever; she sent Doctor Johnston to her, and in con sequence of the situation of the wife she requested him to live withler again; and they accordingly agreed to separate, when he ►ent on his knees before they parted; requesting of her to remain, but she refused, and went to her uncle without a single guinea or a gown to her back. She there remained five weeks, and during that tints he came to Ler three times, and went on his knees, begging of her to re turn, saying, if she did not he would destroy himself. She went back to him, and although they lived together from the 20th of January, 1927, to March, 1829, she'never had a farthing from him, but lived on her own property, ninety guineas of which went towards purchasing the furni ture, of which the present articles formed a part, and they ultimately parted, on her renewing her request to Will to live with his wife. Mr. Lawson—We parted, in consequence of your.going into a house of a certain , description.—Miss Ryan--As there is a God in Heaven it is false ! Mr. Lawson—You came and asked me to let you live with me.—Miss Ryan—Then, Sir George, let this case go to trial, for lam telling nothing but the truth ; and since then he has been to me and offered me money, not . to say any thing. Sir G. FARRANT—Did you buy any of the property?— Miss Ryan—My money as well as his sought it. Mr. Lawson—l can bring several of the tradesmen to prove that I purchased : the property. r Sir G. Vanuar—lt is certainly not a case of felony. _ _ Mr. Lawson—She had no claims on nie, for all she has done for me was making- ten shirts, which cost sue two guineas a-piece. Sir G. FAuttaxr—Do you deny her living with you as Mrs. Lawson? Mr: Lawson—She pasted as such, and we should have continued so to live, had I nut seen her frequent certain places. • Miss Ryan—l declare most solemnly that char,7e is false. It was my money which bought the furniture ; the cur tains were bought with my money. Mr. Lawson—Sir George, she has not spoken one word of truth from. the commencement; she invited me to her honie in Regent-stt eet. Sir G. FARRANV-That may be; hut you followed it up, and took her away, and let her assume your name. Mr. , LatVion•Thitt was not done by my permission. Sir G. FAR R ANT—frhaslarettly been decided when. a person lets •A female assume his name, he is answerable for her debts ; nor : can be charge ber with felony. The Worthy Msgistrate then cited the case of. Lady. Hawke. Mr. Lawson—l feel fully convinced it is a case or felony. Miss Ryan—Did you never protnise to snake me your wife? Mr. Lawson—Never ; so help me God ! • Miss * Ryan—Six weeks ago he came and offered me money ; and also to make me his wife;—Mr. Lawson— That is false. Miss Ryan—l have nothing more to say. Mr. Lawson-4 do not wish to (press the (large of felony, if sbe will give up My property. Miss Ryan—Sir George, I insist upon his pressing the charge, and I beg of you to commit me for trial. . . Si; G. ; it is no felony. Miss Ryan—ls he to have the property ? Sir G. FAItRANT---NO ; you are to have it. Mr. Lawson--She never went by my name. Miss Ryan—l have letters in my possession to prove that you acknowledge me by your name. Mt. Lawmen—Will you detain,the property; then? Sir G. FATIRANT.—It is not in my power to do it. Mr. Lawson—lf you do not, I will take them. Sir G. FARRANT—Your remedy is only by, a civil action. The worthy Magistrate, after an elapse or half an hour, dismissed Miss Ryan out of custody, and ' ordered Avis and Goddard to return the property to hei, which was accordingly done. MARYLEBONE.—A gentleman, whose means were ample, for he had fifty pounds iu his pocket, was charged with unlawfully obtaining a supper. It war stated by Alexander Bell, a waiter, and his evi dence was not disputed, that the defendant, on Monday night, treated himself and two girls with three plates of alansode beef, at the shop of Mrs. Wolfe, near Middlesex Hospital, and refused to pay, and he was sent to Maryleboue watch-house. In reply to the Magistrate's inquiries, the defendant re presented himself to be John Wall, an independent gentle man, residing at Fulham, and he said he was then willing to pay for the beef. Why did you refuse to pay for it last night, said Mr. Hosicrxs, were you drunk? Defendant—No, Sir, I was not drunk. . . Mr. HOSKINS—I shall inqure further into it ; fot: if you were drunk, it is my - duty to fine you: Let the constable of the night come forward. W. this gentleman worse for liquor when you received the charge? Constable—He was fresh, your Worship. • . • Mr. Hosictus—Then you must pay a' fine of five shil lings to the . King.-15efendanth would rather give five shillings to the poor. Mr. Humus—lf yOu choose to pay ten shillings, for the benefit of some public charity, you may. The defendant immediately put down ten shillings, say ing, he would rather do s o than have it recorded he was drunk. William Lcdper,.a footman, belonging to Lord Limerick, was charged with stealing two of his Lordship's silver tea spoons. The spoons were accidently found by Dutch the officer, as he searched a house under a warrant, fur Oka. property. They were in a cellar cupboard; belonging to John Austin, a chairman, and porter, to whom the prisoner was indebted nine shillings; and Austin having pressed the prisoner for payment, he, according to his own confession, took the spoons from his master's tray, and placed them in Austizs hands, as security. Ile was committed for trial, but afterwarwards liberated on bail. THE MARKETS. COONTRY - CORN MARKETS blißll4o.piE WEEK' Wheat. I Barley. Oats. 1 Beans.
