Gf the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The controversies and quarrels which have disturbed, and, indeed, fearfully shaken, the " compact" and " impregnable " Tory party the same which installed Sir R. Peel in power, have been most dire on questions of domestic policy. The Premier's Corn-law and Tariff have thrown the agriculturists into " sixes-and-sevens." Their 1 representatives are endeavouring to flounder out of the difficulties in which they find themselves involved by the unlooked-for proceedings of the Government. Explanations, which satisfy no one, are attempted; and apologies, which inspire contempt for their contradictions, are stammered out by Ho nourable Members, who evidently feel that they have been induced to violate every pledge, and to falsify every promise, on the faith of which the constituencies were induced to elect them. These promises and pledges they made in the firm belief that Sir R. Peel, on whom they pinned their faith, would propose the measures to which they had committed themselves to their consti tuents. To their consternation they heard him pro pound measures of a nature and tendency diametri cally opposite to those they had predicated from his former speeches and professions. They were com pelled to " eat the leek " they had " mocked " to unsay by their votes in Parliament all they had pro mised and vowed at the hustings but a few short months before—to proclaim themselves to their constituents, and to the country at large, is political weathercocks—to be impaled on the columns of the Post, with their characters and crimes inscribed over their heads—" Political Apostates"— " Deserters from the standard to which they pledged fidelity." Such is the degradation to which Sir R Peel has consigned his supporters ! Such is the ig nominy to which, for the sake of office, he has con sented to reduce himself ! That such a Government will be able to maintain itself in office—dependent, as it is, on the precarious, because the constrained, support of a large proportion of its professed adherents in - Parliament, and amid the scorn and contempt, mingled with distrust, of former friends, as well as open and avowed enemies— would be something so new and strange in a country in which the Government, to be strong and permanent, must be based on public opi nion, there is no reason to conclude. The Govern ment of Sir Robert Peel will not, certainly, supply the monstrous precedent. By what particular mea sure the present Government is doomed to fall, it would be presumptuous to attempt a prediction. That it has within itself Ike elements of dissolution, is certain. The House of Commons that was returned to support the Government in its re sistance of the changes which were proposed by its predecessors, is disorganized in opinion, and will soon become feeble in support of the Ministers who, by the adoption of those very measures which were re pudiated by them when in opposition, have proposed the startling problem for solution, whether a Govern ment can maintain itself in office from which public respect and confidence is withdrawn ; or—which amounts to the same—whether a Cabinet which upset a Ministry by perseveringly denouncing the policy it pursued, as dangerous to the country, can retain office upon the credit of those very measures it for merly denounced, and which, by intrigue and faction, it managed to obstruct and defeat? STANDARD.—The journals of the Anti-Corn law League found a strange charge against Sir Ro bert Peel's Government upon the article of the Quar terly Review, to which we have lately referred. The article, they say, is little more than a transcript from a brief, prepared for the law officers of the Crown, in contemplation of a prosecution of the Leaguers upon a charge of high treason • insinuating that the material allegations in this brief have been collected by spies. Now to this it is obvious to reply, that if the Review makes out, as we indeed acknowledge it does, a case of treasonable design on the part of the Leaguers, the evidence upon which that case rests has all been furnished by the Leaguers themselves. The Reviewer never once pretends to secret information, or alleges anything upon testi mony not open to the whole world. He merely quotes the public speeches, addresses, and sermons of the League, and the public acts of its members ; the trace of a spy cannot be found in the whole mass of evidence. Whether it was ever contem plated to proceed by a criminal prosecution, or' whether it is now intended to proceed against the conspirators, must remain an official secret ; but if any such intention existed or exists, it is plain that a proceeding open and above board is the only one the Leaguers have to apprehend. In the whole course of his official life Sir Robert Peel never em ployed a spy or a traitor, and we trust he never will employ one. Let him retain this not the least honourable of his distinctions. It is, perhaps, not surprising that the apologists of the League feel shocked and alarmed by the mass of treasonable matter collected by the Qnarterly Reviewer, and that they conclude that no one but a lawyer could have employed the diligence to collect so much proof, or exercised the skill to marshal it so effectively—but their inference is not a necessary one. Any man of equal ability, using equal industry, and devoting him self to the painful task, could make a similar collec tion from the affluence of the crimes of the League during the last two years. In fact, the Quarterly Re viewer has scarcely printed anything which was not previously printed in the Morning Chronicle, the Anti- Bread Tax Circular, the Globe, &c. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius at the Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a London Special Jury.) SIR J. HARE V. BARSTOW.' _ _ This was an action brought by Sir John Hare against the Yorkshire Insurance Company, to recover the value of an oil mill which had been insured in the defendants' office, and which had subsequently been burnt down. The premises in question were situated in the city of Bristol, and one portion was used as an oil mill and another as a mill for grinding dye wood. Sir John Hare had insured the premises in the York shire Insurance-office, intending to include the whole of the machinery in the insurance, and the agent to the Company had gone over the mill prior to the in surance being effected. A fire occurred, which had destroyeed that portion occupied as a dye wood mill, together with the mill machinery therein contained. The defendants paid 2661. into Court, that being the sum for which the building containing the dye-wood machinery was insured, and contended that, according to the wording of the policy, they were not liable for the machinery. Mr. ERLE, for the plaintiff, contended that it was evident that the parties intended to effect an insurance on the whole, including the machinery, and thought they had done so when the policy was effected. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for defendants, contended that the question was not what the parties had intended to do, but what they had actually done, and, from the wording of the policy, he submitted that the machinery was not included. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2221., in addition to the 2261. paid into Court. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

Police-constable Holland, N 146, stated that shortly before eight o'clock on Sunday evening he was on duty at the station-house in Hoxton, when a girl, about fifteen years of age, rushed in in great agita tion, and requested him to repair immediately to her mother's house in Gloucester-street, as the latter had threatened to hang herself and her two youngest children, and had gone out to procure a rope for the purpose. He instantly proceeded with the girl towards Gloucester-street, but, on their way thither, she pointed out the prisoner, who was coming out of a chandler's shop, with two chil dren, of the respective ages of seven and eight years. He entered the shop, and on asking the owner whe ther the prisoner had bought anything he was in formed that she had purchased a piece of rope, and that she exhibited a wildness of manner that attracted his observation. Witness then pursued the prisoner, and whilst doing so, he perceived the children strug gling to release themselves from her grasp, upon which he hastened up to her, and told her that she must accompany him to the station-house. On re ceiving the intimation, the prisoner attempted to se crete something under her shawl, and on his taking hold of her she dropped the piece of rope on the pave ment. She was then conveyed to the station-house, and on being searched a sum of money in gold and bank-notes, amounting to 941. 10s., and also a knife were found upon her. The prisoner was intoxicated, and in consequence of the serious nature of the charge, the inspector refused to liberate her, although bail was offered for her appearance. On the following after noon the male prisoner came to the station-house in a drunken state, and had an interview with his mo ther, but after remaining with her some time, he re refused to depart, and assaulted Sergeant Lambert, who attempted to remove him, in consequence of which he was detained in custody. Mr. BROUGHTON asked the officer whether the fe male prisoner or her family were personally known to the police. The policeman said that the prisoner's husband was formerly employed asa porter, but a large fortune had been lately bequeathed to him, which he appeared in clined to squander away in riot and dissipation, both his wife and himself having given way to the most intemperate habits since it came into their possession. Mr. BROUGHTON said he should require the female prisoner to find two sureties in 301. each, to be an swerable for her good behaviour for six calendar months. The male prisoner was fined 10s. or ten days' imprisonment. The required sureties having been entered into, and the penalty paid, the prisoners were discharged.

Reid, Currie, and Sutherland, for the purpose of giving some explanation to the Bench in reference to a complaint made against him by Inspector Collier, under rather curious circum stances. The Inspector stated that considerable alarm had prevailed in the town, on account of a report that a boy had been waylaid by a man on the common, and robbed; and while .witness was on duty at the station-house, the father of the boy now before them came to him, and complained of the _conduct of one of the constables in allowing a man to escape who had assaulted and robbed his son. The boy was then questioned, and he said that as he was very near home on the previous evening, carrying some bread, he was stopped in Selles-lane, Croydon by a man, who seized him and took hi s b rea d from him. He said that he called out for assistance, and a policeman came and attacked the man; and knocked him down with his truncheon, and that they afterwards struggled together on the ground, and at the policeman's re quest he took his handcuffs out of his coat pocket and held the lamp while he put them upon the man, who was thus secured. When the policeman gaVe him (the boy) his bread, and then took the handcuffs off the prisoner, and told him to go about his business. In consequence of this statement of the boy the whole of the constables on duty on the district were mus tered, and he was requested to try if he could identify the man who had acted in the way he described, but he could not do so. This circumstance increasing the suspicion that was entertained that the story told by him was not true; the Inspector questioned him closely, and he at length admitted that the story of the attempted robbery and the conduct imputed to the policeman, was an entire fabrication, from begin ning to end, and under these circumstances he thought it right to bring the boy before the Bench, to give some explanation of his conduct. _ _ The MAGISTRATES said it was a very singular story, and they inquired what motive the boy could have had for acting in such a manner. The mother of the boy replied that the only expla nation he gave was, that he had been induced to ac company another boy to some distance from the place where he was sent for his bread, and in order to ac count for his being absent so long, he hatched up the story of being attacked in the way described. The Inspector said it was a most mischievous inven tion, and had been productive of very great incon venience. The boy told the story so naturally, and connected so many circumstances to confirm it, that no one who heard him at first would have doubted that he was telling the truth. The MAGISTRATES then asked the boy what could induce him to tell such a story, and cause so much trouble ; and he been to blubber, and said he was very sorry for what he had done. The Bench then said they had no power to punish him, but they hoped the boy's father would g i ve hi m a good thrashing, which would, in ' all probability, deter him from playing such a mischievous prank in future. LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—A case came yesterday before the Court involving some of the most peculiar circumstances that have ever been presented to tfie public, and which Mr Commissioner Phillips, before whom the proceedings were exhibited, described as one of the most extraordinary, as well as difficult in stances that ever came before that or any other Court. The bankrupt, in this instance, is a person of the name of Hall, formerly a grocer at 'Warrington, and a man reputed to have been well educated, and to have strong religious tendencies. It appears that, in the month of September, 1841, the bankrupt absconded from Warrington, and was subs equen tly di scovere d to have sailed for America, leaving his affairs perfectly unprotected, but without any effects available to his creditors, either from a secret disposition of them prior to leaving, or by some fraudulent negotiations with other parties, for the purpose of keeping the proceeds from his creditors. The bankrupt's father-in-law took possession of the books and has retained them up to the present inquiry, and they are stated by the bankrupt himself to be so mutilated as to be of little or no service in making out his balance-sheet, or pre senting even an ordinary statement of his assets and obligations. On the bankrupt's arrival in America, he solicited and obtained an appointment as clerk in a grocery store, where he evinced creditabl e t a l en t s, and both activity and vigilance for the period of a twelvemonth, as described by his master in his adver tisement of the robbery in the different American journals. On the 19th of June, in the following year, he absconded from the house of his master at Brooklyn, in the State of New York, taking with him g 4,950, the moneys of his employer, in Texian Treasury notes and specie of different denominations. It was supposed that he had taken the route to Baltimore, and an active pursuit was commenced in that direc tion, but although every means was consulted that the best authorities and the most practised assistants could devise, the search proved fruitless, all trace of him being extinguished for a month or more. Shortly afterwards the bankrupt appears to have had some connection with a Mr. T. Montfort, in South Boston, from whom he also absconded, taking with him $1,200 current money of the State. Mr. Montfort immedi ately advertised the prisoner, offering a reward of 300 doll. for hi 3 apprehension, but without effect. The bankrupt contrived to elude the vigilance of the police in the United States, and nothing more was heard from him until information was received that he had been seen at his old haunts at Warrington, England. His accusers lost no time in memorialising the United States' Consulate of the felony, who; with the assist ance of an intelligent police-officer (Jones), took the prisoner into custody, seizing at the same time a lar ge amount of note s o f tie Texian Bank, before any mes senger from the Court of Bankruptcy was apprised of his return. The bankrupt was brought up before the Magistrates at Warrington, to answer the charge of the felony preferred against him from his American prosecutors by attorney, but the case was so beset with difficulties, in consequence of the indeterminate rela tions between the two countries on the point of arrest, that recourse was had by Col. Aspinwall, the United States' Consulate, and also by Mr. Nicholson, clerk to the Magistrates at Warrington, to Sir J. C rah am for ad vice in prosecuting the examination, which proved ultimately an affair of so much difficulty as to cause a recommendation by Sir J. Graham of an abandon. , ment of the case—a recommeadation which was in stantly followed by the release of the prisoner, but not of a restitution of the property, either to the pri soner himself or to the parties deputed by the assignees under his estate for their joint behoof. The bank rupt's affairs have now been brought into the New District Court for final hearing, and the bankrupt yesterday, for the first time, surrendered himself, the 42d day having expired, which is the limit prescribed by the statute to prevent au oulawry. The bankrupt stated that he was unable to make out any balance-sheet, as his books were so much torn and mutilated; a summons to produce them upon the bankrupt's next examination was issued in the in terim to be in the possession of the official assignee appointed to the estate, which will be at all times ac cessible to the prisoner, to facilitate him in the pro secution of what will be required from him on his next appearance in Court. Under the circumstances the Learned Commissioner adjourned the examination sine die. This case derives considerable interest, as being the latest evidence of the state of the international law between this country and America. The money seized from the bankrupt by the police officer still remains in his possession, no order having been given to the messenger to take it for the benefit of the bankrupt's creditors. COMMISSIONS OF LUNACY. Yesterday a commission of lunacy, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. Anne Sturrock, wife of Captain Henry Sturrock, R.N., of Montpellier-place, Blackheath, was opened at the Green Man Hotel, Blackheath, by Francis Barlow, Esq., one of the Commissioners. Mr. J. Baker Wright, solicitor to the surviving trustee under a will by which Mrs. Sturrock derived her property, was first examined, and produced an office copy of a will, by which it appeared that she was entitled to nearly 2,0001. a year under the will of Thomas Welladvise, her former husband. He had advised Mr. Axe, the trustee, not to pay any, more dividends to her, because he considered her in such a state of mind as to be incapable of giving a valid re ceipt. The last dividend was paid in October last, in the presence of Captain Sturrock, as indeed they were on most occasions. Dr. Shirreff, of Dartmouth-row, Blackheath-hill, deposed that he had known Mrs. Sturrock for very many years, and had attended her professionally since the Bth of February, 1841. The last time he saw her was on Saturday. She then exhibited unquestion able proof of mental imbecility, which she had la boured under since February, 1841, and had gradually got worse. She was merely cognisant of passing events, but forgot every thing almost instantly. She had quite forgotten the visit of Dr. Burrowes on the previous day, She was also lost to the sense of the proper decencies of life, which she would otherwise have observed. He had uo hesitation in saying that she was of unsound mind, and incapable of managing her own affairs. The infirmity, in his opinion, arose from old age. She could not hold a conversation, and when he tried on Saturday to make her understand that this inquiry was about being made, she got very angry, and said, "What the - business have they with my money ?" Dr. M. Burrowes deposed that he was called in on the 18th and 19th of November last to give his opinion as to the state of mind of Mrs. Sturrock. Amongst other questions he asked her her age, and she said be tween forty and fifty, although she was eighty-two. He asked her when she had seen Dr. Shirreff, and she said not for a long time, although she had seen him the day before. She was certainly not in a sane state of mind on any of the days he had mentioned. Every attention was evidently paid to her, and she possessed a great deal 'of physical ability, but, nevertheless, it would be very inconvenieet to take her before the Jury. Mrs. Mary Cooper deposed that she had been in the habit of attending Mrs. Sturrock for a year and eight months. The latter could not dress herself. She had never spoken of property but once, and then said she had none. She was not cleanly in her habits, but required to be attended to like a child. Conceived her to be quite incapable of taking care of herself or her property. Witness told her that some gentlemen would call on her to ask about her property, and she replied that if they did she would blow their brains out. Some of the Jury went to the residence of Mrs. Sturrock, and, on seeing her, expressed their full con currence in the evidence given, and returned a ver dict accordingly, dating the period of the commence ment of her imbecility on the 18th of November. Yesterday a commission de lunatico inquirendo was held by Mr. Winslow, Chief Commissioner, and a Jury of fifteen County Magistrates and gentkmen of Middlesex, at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane-street, re lative to James Smith, lately a veterinary surgeon and farrier, of large practice and business, of Great Scotland-yard, Westminster. Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Warren appeared for the prosecutor of the inquiry, viz. Mrs. Smith, the lunatic's wife. Mr. Sergeant Shea said that prior to 1838, the physicians who attended Mr. Smith considered that his ailment was corporeal, proceeding from dyspepsia, and diabetes, but that it would probably end in in sanity, unless great care was taken of the patient. They advised change of scene, and he was removed to Ramsgate, Gravesend, and Boulogne, the effect of which was improvement in his bodily health, but hy pochondriacal augmentation. Early in 1839, he be gan to fancy that he could neither sit, stand, nor walk, eat, drink, nor sleep, like other men. He 'had taken strange offence at his wife, and treated her with great indignity. Mr. Smith was at:present an inmate of Blackland's private asylum, Chelsea. Evidence having been given in support of this state ment, the lunatic was introduced. He is a power ful man, between 40 and 50 years of age. Though the presence of so many gentlemen apparently awed him, he ever and anon broke out into the most violent diatribes against his wife, his medical ad visers, and his attorneys. He described incoherently his past life, how he had amassed by long toil 8,0001., how his wife had married his money and not him how she had given him something one morning in his tea, which had murdered him. He claimed the protection of the Jury, and hoped they would not send him back to what he called a prison, to be watched and beaten by two keepers, but would place him in a room where he should have sufficient food, and see nobody. After providing for his wants, he hoped that the remainder of his property would be given to some charity. He complained of pain from the sole of his foot to the top of his head; said that he could not sit, though he was sitting; and trusted that he should not be punished for what he had just spoken. Every body that he knew before he recog nised ; and being seated near Mr. Carpenter, a county magistrate and juror, he seized him by the hand, saying, " Don't you recollect the old blind mare I sold you six years ago, for 61. ls. ?" Mr. Carpenter said he did, and succeeded in allaying the excitement of the unhappy lunatic, who followed Dr. Sutherland tamely out of the room. The Jury immediately found that " James Smith had been of unsound mind, and incapable of ma naging himself and property, since the 30th of De cember, 1838." THE LATE CALAMITOUS FIRE IN GOODMAN'S ' FlELns.—The Committee for administering relief to the unfortunate sufferers by the above catastrophe held a preliminary meeting last evening at the Swan TAvern, Whitechapel. Among those present were Thomas Mills, Esq. (in the chair), the Rev. Mr. Sco vell, and Messrs. John and Edward Cook. The sub scriptions already received amount to nearly 401. The total sum required is expected to be about 4001. It was mentioned incidentally during the meeting that, although no member of the family of Holland had sent in a statement, the case of the unfortunate young woman, now lying in the hospital, was of all others the most deserving consideration in the ultimate dis posal of the funds raised. Her recovery is, however, extremely doubtful. It was finally arranged that the Committee should solicit subscriptions throughout the district of Whitechapel, and hopes were expressed that benevolent individuals among the public would aid in the good work when the circumstances were made known. The children of Proudfoot and Sum mers will be buried at the expense of the Committee. STATISTICAL SOCIETY.—At a meeting of this So ciety, held yesterday evening, at the offices in St. Martin's-place, Mr. Thomas Tooke in the chair, several new members were elected, amongst others, Major Graham, Registrar-General of Somerset House; Mr. George Carr Glynn, of Lombard-street ; Drs. Alison and Bushe, Benjamin Phillips, F.R.S., and Mr. W. D. Drummond, of the Statistical Depart ment, Board of Trade. An interesting paper was th9n read by Mr. Porter, one of the honorary secre taries, relative to the recent census of the inhabitants of Great Britain, from which it appeared that the proportion of persons living with reference to their various ages in 1841, very considerably exceeded those of the year 1821. The number of persons living under fifteen years of age was now much smaller, as compared with those above that age, as far as, fifty ; but the fluctuations of human life were less, and its duration on the increase. The productive portion of the population was also greatly on the increase, as compared with the less profitable part of the commu nity. During the last forty years, from 1801, the number of the population had increased from 8,000,000 to 15,000,000, being an increase of 2 per cent. over the census of 1801. Should the population go on increasing at its present ratio, it-was calculated that the population of Great Britain in 1921, would be up wards of 52,000,000, or 15,000,000 beyond the pre sent population of France. The paper concluded with some curious statistical comparisons between the population of the United States and that of Great Britain, from which it appeared that the mortality amongst the slaves and the coloured population was far greater than it was amongst the whites. THE EXTRA CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.—In many country towns requisitions have been got up to the chief local authority to sanction the making of next Monday a holiday for the working classes. In most of these cases—we might say all of which we have cognizance—the idea has been gladly acted up - to, and it is probable that next Monday will be a day of general rejoicing and abstinence from labour. How will it be in the metropolis ? LL 0 YD'S SHIPPING. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH.--William Inglis, London to Constantinople, 19th ult., lat. 36 N., lon. 18 E.

In th° v year Scotland manufactured 35,000 bales of cotton i in the latter 120,000 bales. In 1826, the produce of the iron furnaces was 33,500 tons ; in 1840, about 250,000 tons. In 1826, the banking capital of Scot land was 4,900,000/. ; in 1840, it was al l° „ n f 10,000,000/. Yet with all this progress in ind u i s a and wealth, the circulation of notes, which hi 1 .1 ';29 varied from 3,400,0001. to 4,700,000/. was il l 'fi - rs ° t from 2,960,000/. to 3,670,000/. ; and in tl e t d o es three months of 1840, to 2,940,0001.
