SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. While every day's reflection strengthens our con viction of the necessity of restoring peace in the east of Europe, every day's intelligence supplies us with additional evidence that this is the most favourable moment for making the attempt. The contending parties have for a while suspended the struggle, from which both have suffered too severely to b e desirous of renewing it. The Russians especially, we have every reason to suppose, are heartily si c k of the whole business. They engaged in it without due precaution ; and the national appetite for war naturally languishes on the failure of the great sti mulus—success. But however anxious the Emperor of Russia may be for a termination of hostilities, he may not impossibly feel considerable repugnance in making the first overtures.to the Porte. It is but natural, therefore, to suppose, that his Imperial Ma jesty would feel grateful to his allies if they should relieve him from this embarrassment by the interpo sition of their good offices. But it is not as an act of kindness to the Emperor Nicholas, that we would earnestly press upon the Governments of England and France the evil of any longer delaying their interference between the belligerents. We need not remind his Majesty's Government, that upon the success or failure of that interference, depends, in all probability, the integrity, if not the existence, of the Ottoman State. Still less, we hope, need we call their attention to the momentous consequences to Europe, and especially this country, of Russian preponderance in the Levant. For, however Russia may have failed, it is certainly riot beyond the reach of possibility, that by renewed efforts on a larger, and at the same time more concentrated scale, she might in the end overmaster Turkey. Whv, then, should we not at once state to the contend ing parties our readiness to assist in accommodat- ! ing their mutual differences, but in the same breath our determination that at all events hostilities should cease ? We repeat that it is little likely that Lord Heytesbury and the Duke she Mortemart will meet with any serious difficulties at St. Peters burgh. We wish that the aspect of affairs at the Turkish capital was equally promising. But though we cannot shut our own eyes, or attempt to blind fold our readers, to the obstacles that present them. selves in that quarter, we do not hesitate to say that they are such ^ ought to give way to the .necessity of peace. •: We have already taken occasion to sug gest the meansof removing the mai ibarrier against negotiation, by ; -recommending , -the , immediate return of the Ambassadors to , Coustantiuople. That we should make the first step towards resuming di plomatic relations with Turkey, may sound a little grating at first to our notions of our own dignity. But, judging by the past, we should handy suspect our rulers of such fantastic deference ,to the niceties of official etiquette, as to . sacrifice to their obser vance a measure on.whicitiltbo,trancluillity of Europe may depend. It was, wepresume,-for.the sake of promoting that -tranquillity, i that theAMbassadors quitted their posts last year; and we cannot see where would be the inconsistency if, with the same view, they were now to resume them. During their absence a new question has sprung up, which entirely changes; the lace of affairs. The Russian war has, if we roa.y.usesa military metaphor, turned as it were the position which_ the Allies had pre viously occupied, and it would be surely no disgrace to take up anew sane' hi self-defence. Let us not sacrifice the spirit to the letter, or trifle away the welfare of Europe, from a prudish reluctance to make the first adVances to reconciliation.--Times. We some time ago mentioned that an intention I had b.:en expressed by Government to require the dispersion of the . troops in the Portuguese depot at Plymouth in small parties over the interior. The ostensible motives for this projected measure (as we then stated them) did not appear to us sufficient for its justification, and were probably put forward ac substitute for others, wh;c4 - ) it would not have been so convenient to avow. It is eas7 to imagine that Don Miguel may have found means to represent to our Government that the existence of a body of Constitutional troops on our coast, ready to be ern, barked at any moment for dm shores , of Portugal, coupled with the cherished presence and recognised title of the young Queen among us, to whom these troops have devoted their swords, is a depart4e from the neutrality which we have alwaysprofessed to observe between the two parties which now distract that unhappy country. It is easy to sqpose that the usurper's Minister, though not recognised in London, may have been able to remonstrate against the existence of such a force in such a situation, as bearing the look of hostility ;; and that his Majesty's Ministers, without mach consideration, of :he qfiestion,may have yielded to his importuni ties : hut it is impossible to conceive that any change in the policy hitherto pursued towards these unfor tunate emigrants could have been adopted from serious apprehensions of the dangers which their union in Plymouth created to our, national habits, or to the safety of our naval arsenals. It is therefore to be hoped that his Majesty's Ministers will consider their half-formed resolution, and, seeing that it can not be justified on grounds wit:elt they can avow, will not press its execution front wspect to the re monstrances of a party whose claims to their favour able attention do not exist, or cannot at least be pub licly declared. It might be premature for us now to disclose what is understood to have been the course oldiseussion between our Government and the Mi nister of Brazil on this subject. Suffice it to say, that the latter, it is reported, contended, and WO think_ with justice, that the Portuguese emigrants at Plytimitth could not be considered in the light of prisoners 'war- that it was not therefore necessary rn "Se °F theloter) to disperse them into the in terior-to prevent their e „ ape; , that they were paid and su pported by tlteirovvn Sovereign,and ought not there fore to be dealt witiras foreigners subsisting on the bounty o f Eng,land ;Ilia to separate the officers from the soldiers, aug to scatter- them over the country in small parties, would be to destro y a u discipline,and to leave them a prey to the seductions o f t h e i r ene mies ; and' that the troops of the depot were the subjects of an ally, who t h re atened no dange r to Our internal security, and could employ no means of em.. broiling us with Foreign Powers. In case, there fore, the English Government persists in s:s resolu tion, of disorganization and dispersion, the Minister of Jjon Pedro will rather, it is said, give orders for their immediate embarkation for Brazil, than accept for them an asylum in England on such .mischiev ous and degrading terms. The change in policy would thus be the more distressing to the friends of legitimate government, as it was from a regard to our long connexion with Portugal that the emigrants were brought to our shores, while France was open to receive them, on the conditions which we have hitherto observed, but which we seem re solved to observe no longer. And had they been conveyed to that country which offered them an asylum in the first instance, but .which could not, out of delicacy to ,England, receive them, if ba nished by us, we may test assured that the re monstrances of Don Miguel's agents against their treatment would have been as tale listened to by the French Ministers Paris, as his 4mand for Royal salutes was listened t o b y the captaio.s their ships in the Tagus. But let us sill hope that nO change will be ordered till the final intentions of Don Pedro for supporting the rle, , ,ts and interests of his daughter i n Portugal are asc er t a ip e d. W e copy the following testimony to the good conal4,ct of the exiles from the,P4olouthJouraah_o The num ber of Portuguese now in Plymouth, instead of be ing 4,000, is not quite 3,00 and as to th e danger of allowing them to be conginated in the nei g k bourhood of this naval arsenal, it must vanish the moment we reflect that they are totally Lnt - mak), w i that a very small force from cu; barracks could easil y overcome the whole body. Its to the fear of an in jurious effect on the native character, it is, we think, equally without foundation; for we believe that there is not an inhabitant of these towns who will not bear testimony to the orderly, sober,s.nd correct conduct of these strangers, both in public and private; indeed, no stronger proof of this fact need be adduce ed, sham that during the period of nearly three Imonths which they had passed amongst us, not one complaint has been made against theni before the Ma gistrates. To remove them at this season would be an act of great cruelty, for they are now in comfortable quarters, and prepared to encounter the cold of a winter much more severe than they have been ac customed to. The inhabitants in general, but par ticularly the tradesmen, will regret their departure whenever it takes place, for they spend about 3,0001. a week here, and are, of course, a great benefit to the town, without being in the least offensive or an noying. - Tlie serious accident which has befallen Don Miguel will, in all probability, soon open the road for their return to their own country, and we sincerely hope that our Government will not be in duced to adopt any - measure for their removal at present."—lbid. In Mr. Cobbett's Treatise on Indian Corn, of which we shall give an account in a day or two, and of which we shall now say in passing, that it is one of the most racy and amusing volumes we ever read, he observes, " Labour is pain; and nobody likes pain ; and this is sufficient to say upon the subject. So well is this philosophy understood in America, that there they give the name of fro/ic to a great many things, which we call work ; the putting to gether of the frame of - a roof of a house or barn, they call a raising frolic. Wherever a considerable number of persons are wanted to be working toge ther at the same thing, they call the affair a frolic. The getting together of stones or rocks, as they call them, to make the foundation of a barn or a house, they call a rock frolic; and you will sometimes see forty or fifty waggons and pairs of oxen or horses coming from all parts of the neighbourhood, each bringing a load of stones or rocks. This is, I may say, always done, in a ease of house building for a new-married couple, especially if they be poor. Some bring rocks, some lime, some sand, others boards, others timbers, others shingles and lat 6, while others are ac work digging out the foundation, building the walls, preparing. the frame; and, in short, here is a house built in a twinkling, and the owner of it, very frequently, has it without the cost to himself of any thing but of the iron-work. When I moved my things from Long Island down to a house and piece of land near New York, just before I came away, there were ten neighbours, some with one and some with two waggons, to do the job for me. If there be any thing more amiable than this —any thing that bespeaks a better people—l should be glad that some one would•describe it. But it is' the ease in which the people live that is the great cause of this neighbourly conduct; the exactions of the Government are so trifling, the graspings of the miser and the usurer are so small comparatively; there are so few idlers to live upon the fruits of the labour of the industrious, that, with very few ex ceptions, every one has something more than he wants; and to keep a people in this state is the first duty of ever} Government ; its very first duty ; and it ought to be the first aim of every'Stetesman, who never ought to close his eyes in quiet with the knowledge of the fact, that a considerable part of the people are in want." By way of contrast let us take the following picture of 'the labouring classes of England from a very valuable work, just published, under the title of " The pre sent State of the Tenancy of Land in Great Bri tain, &c. collected from a Survey made in the years 1827 and 1828, by the authors, L. Ken nedy and T. B. Grainger :"—" Extreme po verty, (say the writers), more especially where a man has a family to support, is in itself a great , temptation ; and if through that he sets a 1;44 example to his children, the evil is a hundred fold increased ; . . . The evil has increased to such a magnitude as to attract the attention of al most every Nobleman and Gentleman in the king dom, . . . Experience has, unhappily of late, too clearly proved that the proneness to crime has outrun all the severity and terror of punishment : and why; Because, in addition to the motives or temptations already mentioned, the faet is notori ously true, that many men actually commit crime for the purpose, or at least with the hope, of bettering their situation ! There may be many shades of opinion as to modes mul measures, but there surely can be no difference es to the main point, namely— that it is most essential to the welfare and prosperity of the State that a large number of the individnals ' e„ apprising its population should not be reduced to that hopeiees condition in which they have no other prospect of bettering themselves, than by the commis sion of crimes. Humanity revels at the bare idea; but stubborn facts have unhappily prevei its reality. . . , . Education may undoubtedly do much ; but if there le great poverty and great temptation, it may, unfortunately teach a man in what way he can more securely systematise crime, as well as point out to him the paths of religion, of virtue, and integrity; mid it is a well-known and melancholy truth, that instances of this retrograde course—of this abuse of either natural talents or acquired endow ments--are by no means rare. But where, it may be asked, is an effectual-- remedy to be found ? lteli ginp; instruction and education accompanying it, are unquestionably most essential ; but they are not of themselves,. nin• Gar; they be, the remedy sought for; ' they, doubtless, frequently enable men to bear up against calamity, and resist temptation; but it is impossible they can remove the evils arising from the extreme poverty of numerous classes of the community, especially where a man who is sent to gaol, or tianspoeted to New south Wales, fares bet ter, and is better off than when lie was at large, or et home. The temptations to commit offences are time ep much increased, that punishment in many cases become; a mere name; it is; in fact, no pu nishment; it is what the offender sought, what he looked forward to,, what constituted his chief motive for committing the offence for which he is (as it is called) punished. That this is ZW exagge rated statement every day's experitnee abundantly testifies; how, then, can punishment, generally speak ing, operate to decrease grime ? The reverse is, un happily too clearly established, and is indeed admitted, Even those measures, which were thoaght to ope rate as preventives of crime, by means of the re ' formation of offenders, have been found to lie inef fectual; and why ? because the strong motive still exists—the desire a man has to better his situation ; and his being unable to discover any other mode of doing it than by committing ap,'pp offence which, .through the medium of legal punishment, may lead to - the reeeomplishment of that object, he taking care, or at least beiieeiog that he does so, not to subject himself to the extreme penalty of the law. This is, m truth, the real state of the ease, and it is most fi tt i n g that it should be anxiously looked at in that point of -siew ; in order that some remedy may be discovered and applied." Here is a contrast, in deed ! • The people in size country giving way to the benevolence which is natural to man, when his ki n d feelings are not repressed by want or the dread of want. In : the. other, the. base on which society rests so miserable, that the h a bi tua l ex i stence of the cannot in ll° t be. made wor se b y punishment !

We have in every parish labourers competing with each other, and only rescued by the poor laws from still greater misery— r the poor laws, which . secure to the wretch at least a subsistence, work or not work, leaving him in the latter case leisure for poaching or thieving to improve. his condition. The whole social system of this country is necessarily a contrast to that of America. Increase of population increases rents and depresses labourers. Wherever there is a flourishing Squirearchy, there must be toiling and privation in the lowest grades, capacious prisons to contain the thieves and the swindlers, who have a relish for more of the good things of this life than can be obtained by mere labour. The Duke of Wellington never, we dare to say, allowed one muscle of his hard face to be moved 14y such consi derations as the sufferings of the people; and it is but justice to say, that under no Government could a country densely peopled, like England, have those frolics which Mr. Cobbett describes so well. Our lot is different. Toil, hard toil, in the lower grades —the spectacle of excessive luxury in the highest, to fill all below them with envy and discontent ; and ingenuity, artifice, and hypocrisy, talents of various sorts, must be constantly in requisition to enable men to escape the distress and privation before their eyes.—Morning Chronicle. Complaints would of necessity nearly altogether cease, of wretched criminals and their connections being kept in suspense as to their fate, if the law were less sanguinary, and more certain in its opera tions. When a .reform in our Penal Code was in progress, it was reasonably expected that these two points would have been more attended to than they really have- been, and that we should not again have heard of forty or fifty persons being condemned to die, of whom not one-tenth are deemed fit objects of such a proceeding. Either the law is wrong, or humanity gets the better of the stern judgment of those who di rect its operation. We believe the first position to be the true one ; and that reason as well as huma nity shrinks from doing what the law implies ought to be done. lf, then, the law be such as neither reason nor humanity can justify, we may fairly. be -permitted to ask why it is allowed to possess a cha racter sanguinary in appearance, while, in reality and in effect, it is justly rendered as merciful as - it ought to be. Why may not the law itself claim the merit which now belongs to those who may be said virtually and most virtuously, to vielate it ? It is qUite clear that capital punish ments cease to operate by way of example in cases where public opinion is opposed to them; and it is a horrid thing to hear criminals exclaim that they arc "legally murdered," merely because they have been taught to believe that the law is what it ought not to be. But it is still more strange and un accountable that the law should be allowed to appear more harsh in the metropolis than in the provinces; yet such is actually the case, merely because a wholesome law, which saves the Judges from the painful anomaly of passing sentence of death where it is not meant to be enforced, is, by some indescribable quibble, supposed not to extend to per sons convicted at the Old Bailey. We are surprised that even personal respect for the feelings of the Sovereign do not operate to put an end. to this ab surd distinction ; and that the King in Council should be obliged to go through a harrowing detail of crimes committed in London and Middlesex, most of which, if committed elsewhere, would undergo no such ordeal. Nothing can so effectually tend to make the laws efficient, in the shape of prevention, as certainty in their operation ; whereas, at present, so uncertain is our Criminal Code (even in its re formed state) in its operation, that culprits calculate upon its chances, arid, looking at the prizes, or chances of escape, as ten to one greater than the blanks, or chances of certain known punishment, they recklessly adventure in a lottery so tall of attractions, • with so little really to deter. Besides the agony which the present uncertainty brings upon blends and con nections only punishes the innocent, without, in any degree, deterring the guilty. The future criminal only judges frem the result. He neither knows nor cares far the tears of the wife, the mother, or the sister. AU that he knows is, that, though so many are condemned to die, only so small a proportion stiffer, that be fearlessly pursues his guilty career, satisfied that the probability is that, let things come to the worst, he is not very likely to be the tenth man, While, then, our rulers are reforming the law, would it not be wise to look to this view of the mat ter ? We do not say that capital punishment should be so certain as to " Shut the doors of mercy on Mankind ;" on the contrary, that, we trust, will always remain the Monarch's prerogative, and the brightest jewel in his crown. But we would have capital punish ments taken away from more than half the offences to which they are now nominally affixed ; we would have those which are substituted in their stead ri gorously enforced.---Morning Herald.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, Nov. 24. (From the Freeman's Journal.) THE KING, AT THE PROSECUTION OF LORD VISCOUNT DUN• CARVAN V. WILLIAM GLYNN, THOMAS SHEEHAN, AND 301-IN NOARE•* The SOLICITOR • GEN ERAL rose and observed, that it be came his duty to state at length the affidavit of Lord Dun garvan in this case, which was one that called most loudly for the interposition of the court, as a grosser libel, or one more calculated to injure a man in public estimation, had never been put finward. _ His Lotinstur stated that a publication had appeared in the Dublin Evening Mail of the 7th of November, which, after commenting on the public dinner at the Mansion house, on Tuesday, the 4th of November instant, proceeded as follows : • " One drawback, and only one, occurred during the evening's entertainment. A person, possessing a title, we will not call him nobleman—not a member of the Bruns wick Club, nor thank God, an admirer of its principles— a liberal, and something else that we will not name—had the meanness, in the first instance, to intrude himself into the orchestra, where the band was placed, and being driven from thence, hid the audacity to force his way into the box appropriated to the accommodation of the Lady Mayoress. and the ladies of her party, when his conduct was so gross, and his demeanour so disgusting, that the females were compelled to retreat, and his Lordship—we blush for the peerage, while we reluctantly acknowledge the title—was given in charge to a constable, and, we be lieve, lodged in a watch house. This person was the Viscount Dungarvan, the eldest son and heir apparent of the Earl of Cork and Orrery. The excuse, it is said, is that of intoxication. His military propensities, for he was formerly in the Guards, might have been roused by the sound of martial music, as he passed through Dawson street, and he could not perhaps resist the natural impulse of making one in a party of soldiers, even though they were bandsmen, and no drum-boy amongst them ; but what could have induced Lord Dungarvan to force hie way into the company of ladies, is more than we can devise, and more than we shall venture to guess. He was accom panied by an associate—more of him anon." The Learned Counsel 'then proceeded to state the affi davit of his Lordship as follows : That being desirous, from motives of curiosity, to ob tain tickets of admission for himself and some ladies of his family to the gallery appropriated for strangers, on the occasion of the public dinner of the Brunswick Club, at the Mansion-house, on Tuesday, the 4th of November, instant, he on Monday, the 3d instant, applied to Sir Edward Lees, to provide them for him, and said Sir Edward, as he has heard and believes, did cause such ap plication to be made, and received an answer, as he in formed deponent, which deponent believes to be true, that the tickets should be sent. That deponent, on the following day, called again on said Sir Edward Lees, who informed him, and which he believes to be true, that he repeated his application to the individual to whom be had before applied, and was inform ed said individual was not at home, and would not be home una late hour. That-concluding the omission to send the tickets was through mistake ouly, deponent, at a little after eight o'clock, on the evening of said Tuesday, the 4th of No vember, instant, went alone to the Mansion-house; being admitted, deponent desired to be shown to the Lady Mayoress's box, whereupon deponent was informed there • was no admission except for the Lady Mayoress's party, pn which deponent replied that he was Lord Dungarvan, and knew the Lord Mayor, and was sure he would not be con sidered an intruder ; upon which deponent was allowed to proceed, and was shown to the box by a person whom de ponent does net know, and who appeared to belong to the establishment; saith, he found the box open, and deponent went in, and mentioned his name, and conversed with the Lady Mayoress, on whom deponent and his Lady had called, and with other of the Lady Mayoress's party, depo nent being wholly unconscious of having offered the slightest offence ; saith, shortly after a person in attendance, whom deponent does not know, came to deponent, and said that the Brunswick Club did not admit any person to the gallery except the Lady Mayoress's party, upon which deponent immediately • retired with that person, from the gallery, and deponent immediately Mt the Mansion-house, took a coach in Dawson-street, and returned home. That he had dined in company with his, this deponent's wife and her sister, at the house of the Dowager Ludy flowth, on that day, and deponent was perfectly sober, and not accompanied by any person whatever, either in going to the Mansion• house, or returning therefrom, or while deponent was there, save the person he met there, as hereinbtfore is mentioned ; saith, he was not taken in charge by any canstable or policeman, nor was he taken to the watch-house ; and that he was nut guilty of any impropriety or act of incivility to any person in the Mansion-house, cr in the course of deponent's going there, or returning from it. That he did not go into or sit in the orchestra, or any plice where the band were that evening, nor was he desired by any j►erson to leave that place, and that he never was in the Guards, or in any other regiment, except the 84th Re giment of Infantry, as hereafter mentioned. The Learned Counsel here again called the attention of the Court to the latter and most offensive part of the libel, which he again read, and proceeded to state Lord Dungar van's affidavit as follows : That with reference to the latter part of the publication, herein-before particularly set forth, the indecent and shock ing allusions therein conta►ned, are altogether false. That shortly after deponent left the military college of SanThurst, where deponent was educated, being then a younger son of the Earl of Cork-, and about seventeen or eighteen years of age, this deponent was appointed as Ensign in his Majesty's 84th Regiment of Infantry, in which regiment this deponent afterwards obtained the rank of Captain, and in which he continued until the month of July, 1826, and saith, that sometime in the month of Feb. 1826, and shortly after he had come to the title of Lord Dungarran, it was this deponent's misfortune on one par ticular occasion, after dinner, having dined at a friend's house in London, to get into a state of very great intoxica tion, and while deponent was walking in the streets, on his way home, in that situation, he was taken up by a sentry of the 3d regiment of Guards, named Fisher, then on duty near St. George's Hospital, and deponent was given in cus tody to the corporal of the guard, who put deponent into the watch-hduse. That next day deponent was taken from the watch house, before Mr. Dyer, the sitting Magistrate, as deponent believes, of that district, and was charged by the said Fisher, with having the night before, and when deponent was so int.xicated as aforesaid, made proposals to said Fisher, while on duty as a sentry, of a highly improper nature. That said Fisher having lodged informations against de ponent to the effect aforesaid, deponent was required, and did give bail to appear at the next sessions, to be held at the Old Bailey, there to answer such charges as might be brought against him by said Fisher, and said Fisher vas then told by said Magistrate that he should appear at the next sessions to prosecute deponent ; but said Fisher, for what reason deponent knows not, nor can be form a belief, was not bound by any recognizance to appear to prosecute this deponent, and saith, that,. at the approach of the ses sions, deponent and his said father, directed their solicitors, Messrs. Williams and Whitmore, of Lincoln's Inn, to pro cure the attendance of said Fisher. at the sessions, in order that the charge made against this deponent might receive the fullest investigation ;...and deponent has been informed and of which he has doubt, that said Fisher was at Wind sor, on duty, until a very few days before the sessions, and was personally served with a subpoma, or crown summons, at the instance of deponent and his said father, requiring his attendance at the sessions ; and that immediately be fore the sessions said Fisher left Windsor, and as soon as deponent's solicitors were apprised that said Fisher had left Windsor, they as they infOrmed deponent, and which be has no doubt to be the truth, addressed a letter to the Adjutant of the said . 3(1 regiment of Guards, requiring him to bring forward the said Fisher, which the said Adjutant answered by stating, that he was gone to Reading, recruit ing ; whereupon Messrs. Williams and Whitmore, des patched Bow-street officers to Reading to bring up said Fisher, bat he was not to.be found there ; and saith, that n otwithstanding that every possible, exertion was made by this deponent and his tlither, the Earl of Cork, and their s olicitors, Messrs. Willi ams an d Whit m ore, to bring for ward the said Fisher, to prosecute the said charge, they were unable to procure his attendance at the sessions ; and this de ponent being perfectly conscious of MS innocence made every possible exertion to procure the attendance of said Fisher, to prosecute said charge; and deponent has heard, and which be has no doubt is the fact, deponent's father, and family, and friends, and solicitors, made every possible exer tion to bring forward said Fisher to prosecute said charge. Tll4 dePonept appeared at the sessiom in pursuance of bis recognizance, where bills of indictment were sent up to the Grand Jury against deponent, but the sane Were ignored by the Grand Jury, the prosecutor not having attended ; and deponent verily believes, that the non attendance of said Fisher was occasioned solely by the consciousness that he had instituted a base and false charge against deponent, which he knew ht could not substantiate; and saith, that said Fisher, op the occasion of making the said charge * Some inaccuracies having occurred in the report in our la.st, we iwert a correct statement today. against! deponent, stated, amongst other falsehoods, that deponent had offered him his, this deponent's watch, which he positively stated was a silver watch, although deponent had no silver watch, and the one deponent wore was of gold, and which deponent thereupon produced to the Magistrate. That Colonel Maitland, who, during this transaction, commanded the 84th regiment, went to London, shortly after the occurrence hereinhefore set forth, took place, and the fullest investigation of every circumstance connected therewith took place, and which was perfectly satisfactory to said Colonel Maitland, as also to the officers of his regi ment, by whom deponent has since been kindly and cor dially received ; and it was ascertained, to the full satisfac tion of the said Colonel Maitland;that nothing had occurred that could injure or affect the deponent's character. That he attended, subsequent to said transaction, two military levees of Sir Herbert Taylor, who also expressed himself perfectly satisfied of deponent's complete innocence, and that lie continued on the full pay of his regiment for about five months after the original occurrence liereinbe. fore mentioned had taken place, when his regiment being about to go to the West Indies, and deponent in the Janu ary preceding having become the eldest son and heir of Lord Cork, deponent, in compliance with the wishes of his family, retired from the army, but not until he had received an assurance from his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, through Sir Herbert Taylor, that the transaction aforesaid had not in the slightest degree affected the honour andireputation of this deponent. That after his appearance at the sessions, he directed his solicitors to prosecute said Fisher, if possible, and those gentlemen addressed a letter to deponent, stating that it was the opinion of Mr. Adolphus, as well as their own, that no effectual prosecution could, under the circumstances, be maintained against said Fisher. That deponent has a copy of said letter which is in the following words : "9, Lincoln's-Inn, 12th April, 1826. My Lord, we were duly favoured with your Lordship's letter of the 7th inst., directing us to proceed against Fisher for defamation of your character, and not wishing that your Lordship should be guided by our judgment, we have had a consult ation with Mr. Adolphus on the subject; he fully concurs in the view we had taken of it, viz.:—That there is no possibility of your proceeding against Fisher in any way. You cannot indict him for a conspiracy, for there is no possibility of obtaining evidence to prove it—you cannot bring an action against him for defamation, for he has not published anything to maintain proceedings on. We, as your Lordship's solicitors, and under your express orders, stepped out of the usual course, and gave Fisher notice to appear and prefer his indictment against you at the See sions. He has not done so, and your Lordship must there fore abandon all thoughts of attempting publicly to vindi cate your character. It was evident to every one who heard the charge made against you at Marlborough-street, that it was false, and merely brought forward with a view of extorting money; that this was the impression in Mr. Dyer's (the Magistrate) mind is clear, from his not having Fisher bound over to prosecute; had he entertained doubts on the subject, he could not have done otherwise than taken every possible precaution to insure a legal investiga tion. We have the honour to he, &c. Signed Williams and Whitmore, solicitors. To Lord Dungarvan." And Lord Dungarvan saith, he would have prosecuted said Fisher if he had received any sanction for so doing. That, as lie was totally unconscious of what he' might have either said or done in his state of extreme in toxication, it is impossible for deponent to give any more distinct denial of any species of guilt upon his, part than this, that he has not the slightest know ledge or recollection of having ever said or done any thing to warrant or give colour to the charges brought against him by said Fisher; and saith, that from his earliest dawn of reason he has, in common with all good men, held every thought or act, bordering upon the crime alluded to in the publication hereintofore set forth, in the greatest horror and detestation ; and saith he has never in any period of his life, harboured the most distant thought, or been guilty of the most remote act tending to the perpetration of so foul an offence. That as soon as deponent saw the publication set forth in this affidavit, he called upon Sir Edward Lees, and, with him, waited on the Lord Mayor, with whom he had an interview, and a perfectly satisfactory explanation re specting the transaction at the Mansion-house, herein before mentioned, in consequence of which, Sir Edward Lees had soave interviews, as he informed this deponent, with the Editors of the Evening Mail, or some person on their part, respecting an apology to be inserted by them ; and saith, that Sir Edward Lees did, without reference to, or the approbation of, deponent, prepare for publication an apology, to-be inserted in the said newspaper; but when this deponent saw same, and before any publication was inserted in . the newspaper, this deponent at once said, Such apology was not sufficient ; and saith, that in con sequence of such - deponent's feeling and expression, Sir Edward Lees, es he informed deponent, and which de ponent believes to be true, sent to the Editor of the Dublin Evening Mail, before any apology had appeared in that paper, desiring them not to publish any, thing by way of apology, that did not first meet the approbation of deponent and his friends. That the latter part of the publication, aforesaid, not only alludes to the transaction hereinbefore detailed, as occurred in London, but, as he submits, converts what he positively states was a false accusation, into a charge of guilt. SOLICITOR-GENERAL having stated the affidavit, observed that at present he would abstain from any com ment on the atrocity of the publication. The Court immediately granted a conditional order.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday.) Sun aa.—The Sugar Market has been steady all the week ; the average daily sales are 600 hhds. ; there is not the slightest alteration in the prices, but there is an ap parent heaviness in the Market. At the close of the Market this afternoon, the purchases for the week are estimated at 2,200 lihds., and as a great part was taken off privately s at a late hour each day, it is believed that the holders have given the turn of the Market to the sellers. The Refined trade has been languid all the week, and purchases may be made 6d. to Is. per cwt. under the former currency ; the stock of low goods is still inconsiderable, but in fine there is some accumulation. Molasses are dull and lower. This afternoon the Market is very heavy. FOREIGN SUGARS.--In Foreign Sugars there are no purchases to report. EAST INDIA SUCAR:—By- public sale, this week, 1,884 bags Mauritius, chiefly yellow descriptions, for which there is a good demand, and the late prices were fully sup ported ; but a considerable proportion was taken in, as the holders appeared to .be expecting an advance, which the buyers would not comply with; the inquiries after Mau ritius by private contract continue. About 300 bags Siam Sugars sold at full prices. WEST INDIA MOLASSIZS..—III West India Molasses no sales are reported. COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee this week till this forenoon. By private contract it is re- ported some purchases have been made at rather lower rates, owing, no doubt, to the pressure for money ; good ord. St. Domingo sold at 365. a 375. The public sale this forenoon consisted of 88 casks 4 bags 13erbice Coffee, chiefly of the middling descriptions, tine middling SOs. a 835., middling 71s. The market is *hill. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--ID low Leeward Run► there is no alteration; the sales are so trivial that the quotations must be considered nominal; the request fin• Jamaica Rums appears reviving; but the purchases are still on a limited scale—they consist of 31 and 32 over, at 4s. and 4s. Id. Brandy ia in more demand ; the purchases are chiefly stnallvareels for shipment at framer prices. In Geneva there is no alteration. HEJLP, Ftax, AND Tauuw.—There has keen little c i xr l Ig a vi j y t hl n eal j 'i rt2 t ee h . oidsuaAttl dated til briskness, ietit2vitlhr ifar frost and an a nt ; T h shade eE e n xlN l ev o ct : ht v ea e arn r sng . de fromt 1 1 h () u e alteration in the prices of Tallow since Friday last; the market i s ir sF‘ t at o ,ilual .

FRUIT.—On Friday and Saturday last about 600 brie. new Carabourna and Red Smyrna Raisins were taken off rather eagerly by the trade, the Carabourna at 485., and Red Smyrnas at 475. ; but after having taken a sufficient quantity to execute their orders, the buyers became less anxious to purchase, and are now only taking off small parcels is. lower price. New Sultana Raisins go off ra ther freely at 70s. ; but new Turkey Figs, in consequence of the quality of the parcels at present imported this year being very indifferent, are taken off by the buyer, only in such parcels as suit their trade. For new Currants there has been rather more demand this week, and the demand for Fruit generally appears to become more extensive and improving. TEA.---The prompt to-day appears to consist chiefly of the better kinds of Congou, and prwate trade Teas ; of the former some parcels have been sold at Id. discount. MrTAT.3.—The principal feature in the metal market during the week is the unexpected rise in the price of Spel ter, from I I/. 7s. 6d. to 121. 55., while, according to the last accounts from Calcutta, dated 3d July, the price of that article had fallen to W. 10s., and was expected to fall 1121. .4 I'rei !'
