SPIRIT OP Tin PUBLIC JOURNALS. The general:concern at .Mr. Huskisson's, Los Palmerston's, Mr. Grant's,' and Mr. Lamb's -resig nation, can surprise those only.who see the predo minant spirit of this country represented through. the deceitful medium of a courtier's chuckle or a Tory print." If the nation were,polled, ten .men out of every dozen would deprecate such a misfortune, as if it were a signal for delivering over the kings dotn at once to the fangs of the Tory enemy. Al though- the liberal Ministers now dismissed were few, in comparison with their 'adyerse Colleagues, the people were, nevertheless, prone to regard their • existence in the Cabinet as a pledge that, while they remained, no obnoxious description of measures would be undertaken; and now a ---sio matter what specific and especial circumstance may have served i as an opportunity for the resignation of " Mr. Can ning's friends,"—it will he impossible. to convince ; the public (and indeed if possible it would not he nseful) that there was no predisposing cause for • such a breaking up, in the natural tendency to • divergence between one class of - men who .took credit for being immoveable Tories, and 'another who had on most occasions' avow ed themselves the advocates of civil liberty and of economical reform.. The part to be taken by Lord :Dudley has given rise to some anxiety. It is certain • that alone, arnidst a Cebinet composed in all other respects of Tories, his Lordship wool& enjoy even, less infiuenCe over his. colleagues, than that which, when reinforced by three:other liberal statesmenshaft salready proved itself too little. By what considera -lions, therefore, ought a Minister like Lord Dudley to be swayed at such a crisis ? We answer briefly . 'by the degree of power' which he might reckon on commanding, to sealise. his own views' for the nae * *eta honour and security. 'Sortie light would be thrown upon this question by the mannerist which Mr. Huskisson's resignation was said to have been acted on by .the head of his Majesty's Government.i Did Mr. Huskisson ten der to th e Duke of Welling ton ton the option of continuing him a Cabinet Minister or , not, from a feeling of delicacy, because he' had been impelled, by an unforeseen circumstance, to Vote - against,Ms. Peel on the East Retford motion ? And,24ly, did the Duke of Wellington.exercise that option, not by asking Mr. Huskisson to remain; but by carryistg his letter to the King, without any ex pression of a friendly wish to Mr. Huskisson How the Cabinet thus Mutilated is to be patched up, the Duke of Wellington, we take for granted, will well consider. Our sentiment has always,been thatsthe worst possible governors of British colonies Were iititary men, yet such are in most cases selected for our Colonial Governments. Men educated to issue orders, jot to propose subjects of- inquiry or discuSsion,—meis used to coerce those who are punished for daring, to' •shink, instead of to conciliate free and rensonableheings,s7these are the persons from amongst wkssm the condsictors of our colonial system in every quarter of the .1;0)i:table world are appointed by s the, Ministers of Greet ,Britain, to perplex,' distract, an,d•fitially.to dissolii an empire which oughttorest upon opinion. And now -what a spectacle is offered nearer home ! The army of colonial martinets obtains a military bead. The old Quarter-Master-General or the Commander-in-chief becomes Secretary of State for the Colonies,Sand a C a bi n et Minister.! Ve know and admire the talents of this respectable officer, but we own we had not looked foi this result ! • A Secretary 'at War the country might have accepted from the hands of the Duke of Wellington, in the person of his able and sagacious 'friend and : colleague Sir George Murray; but we do. not wish to see the Cabinet Council sitting ,With, aiguillettes on every shoul der, and constituted. precisely "like* a Council of war. Should (which we hope will not happen) Lord Dudley's resignation leave vacant the seals of the Foreign Department, the Marquis of London derry has only to step into the chair of Mr. Canning. The First. Lord of the Treasury will then have his Adjutant-General to dragoon the FOreign Courts, and sis Q ua rtermaster. to levy contributions on the colonies ; so that with Lords Hill and Fitzroy So- Merset at the Horse Guards, his Grace's staff will softly be rompOte! Such arrangements may do at "Ttrataor, imer-Oue . o, the sword is held in honour • but how wilt the people of England relish them ? ' We respect the Duke of Wallington in his proper sphere, and even out of it we upheld him ; but this is "too had," It is by far too Ger-- rnatia—it smells confoundedly of the moustache.— Theevent which we have depreeaferi has certainly occurred.: • Lord Dudley-resigned yesterday morning. It is no less certain that Mr. C. Grant hss re-, signed. In order to.' ,arrive at a complete finder standing'of this disagreeable case, it is fit that the public should know that Mr. Huskisson did not re sign ; but merely .told the Duke of Wellington in a letter, that he would resign if the Duketlimight- it necessary, in consequence of his vote on Monday week last.--Tinfes. With respect to the resignations, we have little, fartker to add. It is yet ,uncertain whether Loaf Dudley will or will not remain in .offiee ; but it is generally supposed that he will resign. Several aircum stances favour this suppositions and, among others, that of theinipossibilit y of liiseontinuing in office with out thereby approving of the isystetst which has led:to the secession. it is obvious - that . the-resignation of Mr. Huskis.son cannot be considered as an insulated act—and that it was the consequence of a constant opposition - between his vies sins and those of another party in the Cabinet. Mr. kitaisson' s letter to the Duke of Wellington, immediately ,after the vote on the Eastßetford business, was not no unqualified resignation, but a declaration that, if hisre..4gnation s hould he deemed necessary after the course he had adopted, he was prepared to resign. If his Grace had wished to keep terms with the liberal part of his Cabinet, he would not have hastened to lay Mr. Iluskisson's letter before his Majesty as a resignation, but have sought for some explanation before tasiug Bo:decided a step. His conduct : therefore amounts to ji declaration, that, being no longer able, to pre; serve harmony between Ale liberal and illiberal divi sions 'of ale Cabinet, he hid been forced to Make, an. election of the latter. His Grace would not, of course, have parted easily with by far the most expert - creed useful Minister a 4,14 v, but e nced Statesns ang for, the conviction *rived from the experice pf , the Session, that the Oro . divisions of the Cebines. Could not be brought to tut together._ Should Lord 1 friend,' he Dudley, therefore, c ontinue joie-Ace af h ter so marked a condemnatiou of the' pr i n ciples a b: , -would thereby confess that he had a an pectin?" principles, and embraced apse of the Hi i ghTOS42 . s, We have heard that Mr. W. jamb hen no g'!eat : reason to be satisfied with some porta of the _cond.u.ct of Mr. Peel, tsvo or three weds 4tgo. n s son's succeasor is Sir George Ainr.raY, aPu ' ‘ i Henry Haediuge spoken of as Mgt) , to succee , Lord Palmerston, Str Qeorge Murray enjorn Ake his Grace,, the reputation of sing a good soldiee, and he has gathered laurels in other fields than those of Mars; but of his qualifseations as a -Stgesman his countrymen were not before aware.

We now know that no man need despair 0f his fitness to be a Minister. We are not . aware that Sir George Murray is deficient in confidence any more .than his G race ; but should hes have had any misgivings whe n t hi s new career was opened to his ambition, his Grace would, no doubt, inform him that the old-fushioned way of labouring to obtain knowledge was exploded, and ignorance of any thai he had never found 44 disad vantage to him is the Cabinet. We hear a great deal of the march of intellect. Are not t h e se eleva tions a striking proof of the rapidity with Which in tellect marches in our days ? Ogre we see two N r,en whose lives have been passed in the tented Add, springing in an instant over *A l als edienents, and ea rrying s the science of p olities byii up .co pytin. The veteran Iluskisson tags 'been toiling from his youth in public offices, and sacrificing his 'with io . the painful endeavours to Nina of obtaining an intk • .• . • . , • • Mate knoWledge of the complicated relations of this great country and her various dependencies. But here we have an Irishman, one day supposed. itica-' pable of understanding the plainest proposition, and the next-surprising the world izi,,hrs Premiership as much as Sancho did in his Government of Barra- taria : and a Scotch Highlander; of whose abilities as a Statesman no one ever heard. till 'now; chat lengingsthe applause of the world, as, being able to acquire in a day, what Mr. HuskisSon toiled all his life to acquire..

Has the Duke no:other. companion in arms to relieve Lord Lyndhurst of the duties.of the Chancellorship ?—illorning elironjcle; THE MINISTRY.—We last eight received the fol lowing from a West end - of the tOsin Correspon dent :—The most interesting topic yesterday;, was the manner in which the vacant Secretaryship of State would be filled up. It. is yery,:„likely. that Lord Aberdeen will be the Ors - 011,- 7 a very !Ortg.cor respondence .has taken plaFe between dhe Noble Lord and the Premier. The Du 4 of Wallington has also carried on a correspondence (it is :supposed on the above subject) with .Mr. Secretary ''eel fur the last two days-.—but, up to last night; no arrange ments had been made for the, swearing in of a new Secretary. It is understood that it . was Mr. Has= kissoti's intention, after his resignation, to retire alto- , , gether from public life. This, it is believed, has been strenuously opposed by a' certain party; who may be termed the Runip, of the.Canningites, and who had deter Mined to make . him their . leader., they were closetted with the Right Hon. Gentle-! Man for a very, great length of time yesterday and, the* day' before; whether they haVe succeeded in their persuasions, of course, is, not known yet. The reason that the public have `hekrd or seen so little of Mr. C. Grant.is that lie.has been anxiously watch ing the death-bed of a. sister; -who is now no more. It is, therefOre, expected that nothing...4sh will transpire with respect to -hint,. till. after the . funetal, which will take place on Saturday.: t Mr- Grant had, however, an interview with 'Earl Dudley during yes terday.—Morning Herald. •• - Though Mr. Huskisson'S . N` cite upon 'the : gast Retford question is given out as the ostensible reason for his retirement from the Ministry. we..do .not believe it to be either the only or, even, the tote cause. When embers lie smothering,'a very slight puff finis them into a flame; and in the common' in tercourse of life, when there is no 'great- real Cordiality bet Ween persons, hoWever closet's , : con nected, it requires often but a' cold look, 'or an equivocal remark, to create a . barrier of abSolitte estrangement. It is iMposSible,., howeVer, not to look at Mr. 1-Lsl:4:son's retirement front office as a loss, to the country. , It has been the custom of men Of narrow, unenlightened minds, and who would have the world,utove on in one. jng-trot unintprovable state to the end of timemo represent Mr. Huskisson as a mere theorist. We, on the contrary—and so, we belieVei-dO the 'majority of the country-'—look upon him as-possessing the truly practical mind of a states man ; and though he may, in some instances, have endeavoured to carry his ideas to.a length not prteti cable on the sudden, his system is in itselsound, and must ultimately prevail. The great oh4ael , e, to that system,.and the error, if any, in Mr. Hoskissca6 own adoption of, it .into .practice, is the overwhelming debt and taxation of the country, which render what may be Irtilycalle&reiip - roc-ity, a thing' literally un attainable; and Mr: Huskisson has erred a little, we think, in diminishing the scale of import dutiei, in some instances, uelow what the highly taxed _pro ducers of the Same commodities in this country can well bear. , But Mr: littskissOn's.errors are practical ones, and mere shades in his system easily remov able by time and' experience, while.;lose of his op ponents ,partake. wholly . of the. mere theory with which they. upbraid him. Their system, if acted upon, would throw us hack into astate of barbarism ; for how do a mate of nature and a state of society most differ from . each other, but in that interchange of commodities 'which - is the trite foundation of in dividual' cornfOrt and of national ? . These ;objects it was,und is,, the. very soul, of. Mr. Huskis 'sou's policy to . extend ; and we look, therefore, upon his retirement.from the Government, in, this respect, As a loss, alleviated only by a' conviilion that he has been long enough at his post to establish that policy upon a basis Which cannot fail ultimately to succeed. • We have very little to add to:the gratifying inte ligenee which we were yesterday enabled to commu nicate to --thf Public, relative to the happy. changes which are about to take place in his Majesty's Councils. Tile resignations of Mr. Huskisson, Lord Palmerstciu; and. Mrs 'Grant, have we believe been followed, .by :that of. m r . Lamb, and some other Gentlemen - . in subordinate Offices ; the whole of whom will -bit. advantageously replaced for the public interests. Thesucessors to the retired and retiring Ministers have not yet been regularly appointed; but we have reason to believe.that the Earl of Aber dun], Sir George Murray, and Sir Henry Hardinge, will esch aye,situations allotted to them well suited to their respeetke,e, abilities ; and that when the whole of the arrangeinents are completed, the Administra tion will be of such a character as will not fail to give satisfaction to the country, and ensure the con fidence and support of Parliament. We en tertained i 4; apprehension from . the moment when the IJuh of . Wellington retained so many of the adherent.. Of the. late Mr. Canning in lijs Administration, that the latter would not prove a Stvti well disciplined part of the Ministerial corps; that they would manifest a dispOSition to form them selves into so i solated, at least if not a mutinous body in the camp, 4.14 to hoist once more the ban . ner, tattered and faded as it was, under which they had been acoustomed to act: This anticipation was fouraed ‘ upon our. 'knowledge ,of the character of their Survi.Tiing leader ; upon the undue elation, and over-weening :leg-Confidence natural to one, who had' gtruggled and laijoyred upwards from being a declaimer upon the rights' o in the Jacobin Cilub,(through the influence of his ,aececed friend), to tine situatjof. of a I'ritish Cabinet Minster; upon the fancied monopoly of talent and.importutice, whicb the politicians of tie liberal *24001 confer so liberally upon themselves ; and upon Ow 40 7 that the influ ence of Government, and the temporary infatuation of a certain proportion of the people had combined At the' last General - Election to throw into their hantie greet increase of power in the House of Cowanons, wvh,e.n that period, their deceased chief, a man of splendid 4 0 '1E4 0 1, : j inordinate personal am filled the station., leader. But while we felt iipon these and other gronn4a liti:ong I,c,onvietion that Mr. Huskisson, and those who afte r the dcrAise of Mr. Canning looked up to him as their Chief, ',{vre not the most proper persons to form a permanent pasta. 4:the Administration of the pit t ike of Wellington, we were ,campelled to ac .)cnowiledg.; the great p ru d en e e anil i -arsepq r y Of the Noble p4 , ,,4, in retaining their services,- as the test possible V,e 6 f ge t) the country and to other r.aLions, 'that di or d rre pAp-7 a England, 1 -01,nestie, was so f t aldout VlVlent fliitua %:e:lrdrergiboreignany ludden . 1 , n 4 00v. wp knew .it of that they must be useful;eful in tt) iG inp view, an d t h at t h ey m i g h t at krmaneciiii under a Premier as , kf 6 .u r s s e t f ' ul e.Ven ,the Nol,leDtike,.. n aticms of their own impoFtaree if their ,res9c . ss! , w f t q speculation, and ',thei!'bto4d aorta have sufferesl'them b as political sect, d z . mere to e docile ar f d tractable. .13 I ,a, consola that 4,17 faded to than all tip,;.

The arrogance and presumption of Mr. Huskisson .and sow pther Statesmen of the same stamp, have impelled akem„ as might have be,en a,i4i,ciyated, to their politicalyoin--and we ,rejoice at this, because we are convinced . that Their ruin is' synonimons with the welfare „of the country. It has not escaped remark, that the conduct of Mr. Se crew)," Peel, as Leader of the House of Com mons, has been less fitrn and uncompromising on several important occasions than the public good and the dignity oflthe Government required; that he has not, in fact, defended the right cause always with so much vigour and energy as his friends and the friends of the country expected of him, and were entitled to expect from his known principles and talents. . The explanation of this apparent failure is no longer difficult. The Right Hon. Gentleman hasbeen in the arduous and painful situation of havingeolleagues in the Ministry at once adverse and disingenuous, and of having to deal with a House of Commons in which the Ministerial mea sures were to be conducted by him, and in which at the same time those adverse and disingenuous col- leagues pOssesSed a powerful separate interest...— That he has not been entirely triumphant in a situa tion of so much difficulty, is no reproach. We be lieve it to be impossible . for any man to b. triumphant in such a situation ; and we know that Mr. Peel is the only Ministerial Leader in the House of Com mons who was ever placed in such a situation. We ought rather perhaps to feel grhteftil to • Mr. Peel, that things are not worse than they are; than to re proach him because they are not better. The Right . Honourable Gentleman, as well' as the country in unison with which he feels and. thinks, have how ever happier days and less embarrassing situations in prospect. The adverse and disiugenuous colleagues who have enfeebled and perplexed him, are already divested of .all official influence.; and the country is prepared to. create a. House of Commons, if it should be necessary, in which they will most cer tainly enjoy no influence whatever.—Morning Post. • - . All the arrangements rendered, necessary by .the late changes in the Ministry :are. not yet completed, and it is apprehended that fresh alterations-may take place, which were not ,conteynplated when the re signation of Mr. Huskisson and - Lord Palmerston were accepted. The state of Mr. Charles Grant's health, which has,alarined his ,friends ,for a consi derable period,-is said to have made him anxious to retire from the 'cares. and- labours .of office: In op position also to every wish of the country it is more than rumoured that, althongh blaming Mr: HuSkis. son's . precipitancy (to use, the. tnildest term) which alone has produced the preseirt.difficulties of the Administration, • Eall .Dudley has, had serious thoughts, as a : matter •of personal obligation, to follow his late colleagues in their retiiement,... His Lordship, hoWever, yet discharges . big_ duties at the Foreign Office, and we still hope that, for the inter- ests of the State, as well as the unimpaired_existence of our ascendancy abroad, the Noble-Earl will . recon sider his determination, (if, it •be already taken) and •not deprive the nation of ! his _services at a period when his presence is. our .Councils is the best pledge we can, give to otir -Allies of, our faithful adherence to our policy and our treaties. Among other secessions now anticipated (though we hope the anticipations will not be realised) those of Mr. W. Lamb and Lard Howard de Walden have been mentioned. The former,. though his re signation would not create nay, change in the Lord Lieuteuancy of. Ireland,,would be regretted, we be lieve, by the Irish of all patties and religions. The latter'has displayed too much attention, talent, and, suavity of manners, in the .discharge of his duties, not to be a loss to the public, if he gave up the Under Secretaryship of the Foreign Office.. The only decisive. steps understood to have.been taken hitherto, have - been to fill up the two Vacant situa tions.. Mr. Husicisson is ,to be replaced,-it is con fidently asserted; by Sir . George ,Murray, and Lord Palmerston by Sir Henry ilardinge. The former, though little known as a, statesman; is said to be a man of, capacity and principle ; the latter has long , been a favourite with the army and will make - its members forget the cavalier manlier in which they were treated by his predecessor, We do not find in any quartera sense of alarm expressed at the'retirement of Mr. Huskisson. Our contem poraries, of all shades and political opinions, speak but one langtiage on'the subject. .The country has had too much experience of late of the consequences of disunion in its Cabinets, not to shedder at the re-appearance of the plague, spot. It. could not but feel acutely the inconvenience (to say the least of it) of the moment chosen for ,t be display of renewed dissension in' the British Councils. But,the fear-, less and unhesitating-manner in which the, returning enemy was met and defeated by the head of the Ad ministration, has inspired fresh confidence in the genius and.competency. of that illustrious individual to deal with every contingency, and has dissi pated the •uneasiness which would otherwise have prevailed. The necessity of steadiness and decision; at a moment when every Ca binet in, Europe 'is on the move, and when all eyes ate fixed upon the Government of this coun try, to knoW the position which it means to take up, is admitted on all sides. Disunion, at all times the token of inherent. weakness, breaking out at a. period when, the mere suspicion of it would tend to unsettle our relations with all the States of Europe, could not but throw tenfold embarrassments in our course. As a trial of the firmness and.promptitude of the Duke of Wellington, it is impossible not to rejoice at the opportunity given, and at the manner in which his Grace has used it, to turn a weakness into a source of strength, and to place still more pro minently before the, world,, at this critical period, qualities at all times so congenial to British policy, and at this moment so essential to the national wel fare..---New.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The water bailiff of the City: of Londoni accompanied:by Nelson, the -assistant water bailiff, appeared before the LORD MAYOR, to complain against two Thames fishermen, whose nets were also brought forward. Ae this question regarded the fishing of the river, and par ticularly that civic delicacy white bait, the jnstice room was crowded. The scene was extremely diverting. Nelson, who is at this season the great• terror of the fishermen, and whose voice has contracted by long hahitthe hoarseness of the river itself, said, that in obedience to the Lord Mayor's orders, he had done every thing in hi, pcswer . to prevent the fishing for white bait by sta tionin g a s py vessel or water nose down near Woolwich, and by, ordering , his men to be greatly on the alert; that, notwirhstanding his vigilance, the defendants and several others bad resolved to persevere and haul up all the bait they could; - and that on the preceding day, whilst he was en the look optior taking a squint at the Thames, be pounced upon a whole party in the act of fishing for white bait, and that they all ecaorpered away at his appearance, and managed to get away their nets, with the exception of the defendants; who could,pat be so quick on account of a heavy bawl of fish of whiclithey were robbing the river. The witness produced two trawl' nets which were so closely worked as to be caphle of securing the smallest fish that swims. " You might .as well," said Nelson, " wash a blank woman' white, as pre vent them from catching the prohibited ,fish. It's no use: they will have The defendants, on being called on for their defence, stated, that they had wives and children to support, and that they must fish for white bait, or starve, or hang.; .for as to apprehending any other fish in the Thames now, it was quite out of the question. • .• s The. Loan MAYOR. assured the defendants, .that it was for the purpose, if possible, of restoring . and preserving the various species of fish which used formerly to be found in the Thames, that he had issuedniders to•check the:practice of fishing for white bait, and he had not even determined on this step, until he had received a-petition as long as his arm; signed by a large body of fishermen, and complaining that Omit. occupation was totally put an .end to by white bait fishing, in consequence of the destruction of,the r young biond:of:all other fish,: which mai swept into the nets. - He was therefore deteriained to. make - the experiment Tor one year, autt to ascertain, it' possible, 'whether' the taking of white-bait really was the cause of the , extraordinary absence of almost all kinds of fish from the. river in- those parts which, ran through the metropolis. " No, please you; my Lord," said Mitchell, one of the defendants, "it isn't the taking of:them - ere white-bait as destroys the young fish ; it's the &sit catnitOnies and- the common sewers, and .other filthy nuisances that's always pouring into the Thames, that's poisoning , the: fish and the people, and will kill us all,. ifs don% :look -after it.—(A laugh.)—There is now upwards of .100 of • us. starving, with our families, from the failurenf.the fisheries, and 'it's cruel-to hinder us front getting.i bitof honest bread." - Nelson said that he bad offered •to employ this man on the Lord Mayor's preventive service twaseist in putting e stop to the catching 'of white-bait, and that Mitchell had ri plied that he would be hanged-first, and that whitebait would be caught-and sold as long al. twine was made and to be had for money, and so long as men had , mouths and stomachs. The Loan MAYOR feared that - this was too true iia• he had heard that White' bait was to be had in, almost every respectable tavern. A dish of it had been 'put, before him since he had issued his prohibition, for the.purpose, he nupposed, of ascertaining whether he could resist the temp tation and give a good practical illustration of the establish ment of his rule. He had, howett, disappointed the ex pectationsOf those who laid the hart for him, for he morti fied the lusts of the flesh by resisting -the fiescination 'of the fish.' " His Lordship then inquirid . -whit 4 .was the punish ment affixed to the offence, and vtas•informed.that it con sisted of a penalty of 51,, mitigable to one hall; and the forfeiture, of the nets, which were probably worth that sttm. It was then stated that the white ; bait. was most plentiful this Year, and though the season is young, pne pf the prin .cipal- taverns in 'Greenwich has already dished uptiardi of a million of the dainty fish, and it was 'declared, that a dozen Water-bailiffs would he foiled in their endeavours to 'check the practice, which, like that of poaching, was in . - 'curable by any coercive Measure+.• , His I.,ottnsurP adjudged the nets to be fotfeitetli but re mitted the penalty. Ile feared that le.should be compelled to inflict the full penalty in the next case. ,• • The white-bait, it is stated, never 'has, been'known to. come higher' up the river than Blackwall. Mr. Goldham, the superintendent of Billingsgate-market, stated in . his evidence before the Commissioners appointed by the, }lease of Commons to examine the Thames water , they e con sidered the•white-bait to he a distinct species'of fish. Dr. Roget asked him his reason. Mr. Goldham replied, that he had found roe in many of them when he .opened' them. Dr. Roget said this fact was certainly decisive on tlre point. BOW-STREET.--Yesterday, a woman, named Ben jamin, who keeps a fish -shop in Drury-lane, appeared to prefer' a charge Of assault against . a well-looking young wottatti,.'named Ann Christopher, who carried . an infant in'heearme. - 4 • 'The isThiplainant stated that the defendant was a wicked girl,. that she had ruined her domestic 4rayipitteos,. and had the shameless effrontery openly to carry on an intrigue, the fruit pf which she now bore in her arms, with her (the com plainant's) husband, 'even under the very roof of.the house in which she lived, and where the ungrateful girl obtained an asylurn.when she had no home to •go to. "Poor woman," said Mr. Morsatum., " you-are-indeed to be pitied. The defendant must be an abandoned woman, if your story is true. But what is the assault you com Plain of? „ The complainant,, who was more than once interrupted by the defendant, who manifested a strong desire to speak, then went on to state, that on Sunday last she went in great distress of mind to the defendant, to, beg,of her, if she*did not wish'to he the ruin of herself and fainily, to g:ve up the connexion she had formed with her husband. • " As soon as the defendant saw me," your Worship," continued the complainant, "she flew at me like a tigress, and beat me black and blue." " Will your Worship hear me," said the defendant eagerly. " I have no friend to take my part, and I throw myself entirely upon your justice., The defendant is a vile, woman," she added, nearly choaked by her excess of feel ing : " it is she who' first seduced and ruined me 'ffir ever." . " Why, how is this?" asked Mr. MINSHULL, in' sur prise. " What do you mean by saying that she seduced yon ?" "You shall hear, your Worship," said the defendaiit. " This woman, this Mrs. Benjamin, is the keeper of a brothel. It was she who brought me to her house under pretence of procuring me a situation, and her husband—the villain—having made' me intoxicated one night, effected my ruin." The defendant then went on to state, that about a year ago, as she and another girl were one day walking in the Ilaymarket, the complainant, who had fol lowed them for some time, asked them' if they were look ing for a lodging, adding, " If you will go with me, my pretty girls, I will take you to a place where you shall be well provided for, and live like ladies. You can earn at least 301. a-week, and have silk dresses and trinkets in abundance." •" .In an evil hour we consented to -go with her," added the defendant, " and when she brought us hgme , she called her husband up stairs, and said to him, " See what a nice pair of' wholesome country girls have picked up, don't you think they will do ?" "My compa nion," continued the defendant, " soon found out the pur pose for which we were wanted, and left the house. She is since married ; but I, having no friend to whom I could apply for protecticn, remaimed in this infamoss' woman's house ; but, as' God is my judge, although frequently surged to prostitute myself for money, I never.could consent to do and, hilt fur her Inishand, I had never ktugwn :flame." Mr. 41iNstiur.A.--This is really one of'the most infa mous cases I have ever bad before me. r. lu il a NT t g , The complainant, withoutactually denying the truth of ft 4 g4l. the defend ant ' s s t or y, contented herself with repeating, that it was a gr ea t h ar d s hip 9u her part, who had, been a wife for 17 years, to have her husband's affections weaned from her y a I firmly belieye hvr stateutep,t, And I have no (164 of your keeping a brothel.

The defe9darit said she had no wish whatever, to go he, tween man and wife and 'she never would have gone to complainant's hpsba}jd bat foy the child Which 'slie carried at her breast; and w'lrich she had no means sn ppooing unless assisted by its father. Mr,llltostior.t'—You shall immediately swear to the child him_, : ,and in the mean time you shall be supported in the poorfinuse. AS to the VOllleiiinaht, she has been rightly served, She had hoppd to profit by an onfortonate girl's proatitutign, and the crime recoiled upon herself by making her own husband the medium . by which it was effected. The parties then left the office, Mrs, penj 4 miti having y.. 7~,.~ perfectly recovered her self-possession, and, deeming it no longer necessary to act the injured wife, went away laughing. HATTON-GARDEN.--Yesterday being the day ap pointed for the re-examination of Henry Saunders, who has been in custody since the 23d of April last, charged, on suspicion, with having been concerned in tl e robbery on the Greenock Bank of property to the amount of 33,0001. ' Mr. Adolphus, on behalf of the prisoner, and a solicitor on the part of theprosecution, and two gentlemen deputed by the bankers, were early in attendance at the office. Shortly after the Sitting Magistrate, W.. L. ROORRS, Esq., had taken his seat in.the Justice-room, he inquired whether Mr. Gates,. solicitor to the' Banker's Company, were present, is order that the prisoner might be brought to the bar ?—The solicitor for the prosecution replied that Mr. Gates having been engaged upon other business of considerable importance, was unable to attend, and there fore requested of him (the solicitor) to discharge this 'duty for him. Mr. Rooxes—la it your wish, then, that the .prisoner be brought up and committed ?—The Solicitor—Let that be, Sir, as you please ; we shall leave the matter altogether in your hands. My instructions from Mr. Gates are, to say that he shall not insist upon the prisoner's cbmmit ment, but shall leave it and its alteraative (his discharge) solely at your discretion. Mr. Gates has deposited 201. in part payment of the necessary expenses to be incurred in senditig him' to Greenock. Mr. ROG ERS--I shall then commit him. Here a Mr. Hamilton; son-in-law to oue of the bankers, accompanied by another gentleman, came forward and stated to the Magistrate, that they had a conversation upon the subject with Messrs. Smith and Scott, two of the firm, On the previous night, the. result of which was, that they had come to a determination not to press the prosecution further. Besides, there was another fact which was most material in the case, and which, independently of tbeenor mous expences, would induce them. most to decline the prosecution, and that was, that from the description given of the prisonerthere was no room left for - a moment's hesi tation in asserting positively that he was not the individual concerned in the robbery. Mr. ROGERS-1 care not; I shall detain him in custody till I see the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The prisoner, who had not been' brought from the lock up house, was then ordered to stand committed till Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday,' soon after the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Co sari had taken his place on the bench, two gentlemen, one representing the house of Todd, Morison, and Co. wholesale mercers and haber ' dashers in the city, and the other representing the equally extensive house in the same line of business, Clarke, Boyd, andFiench, applied for advice or 'assistance in the follow ing. emergency. There •was a very extensive retail-house, they said, in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, in their trade, which had been chiefly supplied from their (the ap plicants') warehouses, and the proprietors of which were largely indebted for those supplies of goods ; that owing to the-embarrassments of the firm in question, a meeting of their creditors had, by their own desire, been appointed to be held that morning, at the home of Clarke, Boyd, and French, in the city, but instead of the persons alluded to making their appearance at the - appoioted hour, it was learned that early on Monday morning the two partners quitted London for Liverpool, carrying with them from their shop hirge quantities of goods, supposed to the amount of between 2,0001. and 3,000/. ; that a docket had on this dis covery been that morning struck against the firm, but the commission of bankruptcy had not yet issued, and it was feared,' that - before the powers of the commission, could have any effect, all the goods thuscarried off.would be dis posed of at Liverpool or somewhere else, to the entire loss of the creditors. The applicants, therefore, wished to know if the Magistrate could, by his warrant or other power, cause the parties or the goods to be pursued and detaibed ?. , • Mn Costarcr, after referring to the Act of Parliament which governs the subject in question, said, that he was sorry he could not assist them in the case, and the appli cants withdrew. • A •youpg lad, named James Holmes, ' an apprentice to Mr.. Wright, a respectable bookseller in High-street, Blooms bury, charged with robbing his employer, and Mark Nor den, a Jew dealer, residing in Long-acre, charged as a guilty reeeiver,.both of whom have been in Custody for several days past, were brought before the Magistrate for filial exami nation ; and fully committed for trial. TOWN-HALL.—john Lenney, the' prize-fighter, was brought up in custody of Reeves, the Marshal:man, charged with several desperate assault* Clara Mansfield, a girl of 18, stated, ihSslkwent a cpw evenings since, in company with a young wan named Col lins, to the Green Man tea-gardens, in the Old Kent-road, whore they were scarcely seated before the prisoner came behindher, and said, " You're doing it up nicely." She asked him what he meant, when he replied with an oath, " tell you," and with his clinched fist struck her a dreadful blow in the face, that knocked her down set - melees (the effects of it were visible). She had given him no pro voCation whatever. Sii , Jottrl PERRINO, who sat for Mr. Alderinan J. J. Smith, asked her if she was quite certain of that, and she made answer that she was ; .unless refusing. to permit his addresses might be deemed so. John Collins; the young • man who accompanied- her, said, that on her being struck, he asked the prisoner bow he could be guilty of such an unmanly act, upon which be knocked him down also. Find hail for both assaults," said the, indignant Magistrate, " as well as good securities , for preserving the peace tmtil . the Sessions, and• give 24 hours' notice, that their responsibility may be inquired into. The public must -be protected against such ruffians." , . , SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.
