6PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM TEE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—We have already shown that Lord Ashburton's capitulation has been in its great features needless and an injurious surren der to the United States of British rights and interests; that it has yielded up a territory con sisting of about seven thousand square miles, to which the right of England had been recently established, and that it has given to the United States additional means of attack against our North American provinces in case of war. But it' the smaller details of the treaty are examined, it will be seen that they are all framed " inn the same spirit," to use the phrase of the New York dinner, namely, in the spirit of entire submis sion, in every respect, to American pretensions and encroachments; for, not only have all points on which the construction of the treaty of 178:3 had been disputed been given up to the United States, but a wanton concession has been made to them on a point with regard to which the treaty of 1783 was precise and unquestioned. The treaty of 1783 says that part of the boundary is to consist ofa line to be drawn due north from the source of the river St. Croix, and that this line is to be continued up to the highlands described in the treaty. In the years 1817 and 1818 surveyors were employed on both sides to draw this line from that point which the two Governments had bound themselves by the treaty of 1798 to consider as the source of the St. Croix. These commissioners, however, did not profess that the line which they partly marked out was to be the final boundary, nor was it ever till now acknowledged to be such by the British and American Governments. It was always described as being that which it really was, namely, an " exploratory north line ;" a line eut through the matted wilderness and forest to pave the way for a more accurate line to be traced out afterwards. Accordingly, as this line was understood not to be a final one, the English surveyors were careless in tracing it ; but not so the American surveyors, who seem to have outwitted their English colleagues as much as Mr. Webster has outwitted Lord Ashburton. At every prolongation of the line, from station to station of observation, the American surveyors kept edging away to the eastward instead ofgoing due north; after a certain distance, it is believed the English surveyors went away and left the Americans to finish the work ; and the result is, that this " exploratory north line" runs to the eastward of the north, and at its intersection %sit!' the St. John, is at a considerable distance from the true meridian of the head of the St. Croix. Thi s must h ave b een k nown to t h e Bri tish Government and to Lord Ashburton, at all events, it ought to have been known to them. Now, in the late treaty, Lord Ashbur ton, instead of adhering to the words of the tiseaty of 1783, which say that the line is- to be drawn due north from the source of the St. Croix, adopts instead of such a line the exploratory line traced out by the surveyors in 1817 and 1818, which has been proved by subsequent observa tions to be an unfair and considerable encroach ment upon the territory of New Brunswick. The treaty of 1783 says that the boundary line is to be drawn along the highlands down to the north westernmost head of the Connecticut river, and e.differenee arose between the two Governments NV ilich that head was. The British Government coo ten ded that it was the head of that river which bears the name of the Connecticut from its source, and which traverses a lake called the Connecti cot Lake; 'while the American Government in sisted that it was the head of a small tributary stream .which falls into the Connecticut some way. below Connecticut Lake, and which has never been called the Connecticut River, hut bears the name of " Hall's Stream." The head of " Hall's Stream" is no more the head of the Connecticut, than the head of the Wei or the Colne are the head of the Thames. The. King of Holland decided this question in Our favour, and the late Commissioners, Captain IsToughton and Mr. Featherstonhaugh, report '`:at the river Connecticut, at the point where Hall's Stream falls into it, is so much the largest of' the two that not a doubt can exist as to which is the main river, and which the tributary stream. liat the admission of the head of Hall's Stream as the north -westernmost head of the Connecticut, gives to the United States a tract of about fifteen miles in length and breadth, which they would not get, if ' the true head of the river were adopted; and, therefore, it can be no matter for surprise that Lord Ashburton has adopted in his treaty the head of Hall's Stream, as the head of the Con necticut. HERALD.—The (setting rid of the substitu tion of female and infant for male labour in our factories, is not merely desirable on humane and, econoinical grounds,—the restoration of' adult male labour is absolutely necessary. as a con dition precedent to the only effectual cure of the evils of our manufacturing system,—the moral an:l religions culture of the operatives. It is idle to erect churches, to endow incumbencies, to establish schools, to extend missionary exer tions, or to rely on either lay or Scriptural edu. cation, until factory wives are restored to their husbands, mothers to their children, and children to their homes—until men are enabled by their labours to support their families—and until youth in Lancashire and Yorkshire be again the season of instruction, of domestic nurture, and of glad. lien's, until it be a fit preparation for manhood and age, and be not converted into the foun dation of disease, the period of exhausting ex cision, and of tuition in vice. Vain are all our efforts to extend opportunities of moral and religious education so long as wives support by their intense and wasting labour in mills and factories their husbands, so long as fashers are compelled to remain in their squalid risiens nursing infants, so long as the work of children half fills the daily pot, so long as the existence of an adult male almost depends on his having sons and daughters whose premature es ertions he can sell to capital. Until this per version of social, moral, and economical laws and duties be obliterated from Manchester and the other seats of our manufactures, the heathenism, the savage discontent, the anti-social Coinbinations and confederations, the insanitary condition, and the rapidly augmenting vice of their population must flourish in all their rank , luxuriance, in all th e i r pest il ent i al vigour, cor- fopting and polluting by their miasmatic exha .ations the great body of labour throughout the United kingdom. "The great undertaking of stoniestic regeneration," to use Lord Ashley's sue. gestive language, must be fairly commenced before We can 'hope for any but isolated and uncon nected, and peKliaps evanescent instances of the i;11 , ..!Cf.. ) 5S of moral and religious instruction ; and that commencement is t o b e i nd i cated by the ''ehinloyment of men instead of women and "i - ,lii!dren. This is the condition precedent, the issdiminary requirement to religious and educa stiheal means of improvement. f POST.—_Mistaken as we believe that part ,of 111;. new tariff which permits the introduction of fweign cattle at a duty of 1/. a-bead, th e ev il i s not seen in half its magnitude till we contem- Oate the effects of the clauses regulating the bn p,)rtation of store meat.

TIMES.—The state of the gum trade on the we;tern coast of Africa has recently excited sil•_ , rable interest in France, partly fro m the ex do j ive commerce which the French m erc h at of - Senegal claim in that article, and partly f rom the measures which the Government has been compelled to adopt, in order to save these very merchants from absolute ruin : The subject is not unconnected with the British interest in the trade at Portendic and other parts of the western coast of Africa ; but the most curious part of it is the extraordinary course which the Government seem disposed to adopt for the relief of the mer cantile population in the colony. Senegal is the oniy colonial dependency of France which can be said to be in a prosperous condition. The total value of its export and import trade in the course of eight years, from 1831 to 1838, amounted to 80,000,000 francs --the last year of this period alone being returned for a quar ter of the whole .aggregate value. But Senegal is not so much a colony as a trad ing outpost or mere commercial position. The climate and the soil forbid the ope rations of European agriculture, or the influx of uropean population, and alth oug h the com a E mand of the river Senegal gives the French full possession of one of the finest navigable inlets of Western Africa, whose right bank is still inha bited by the Moorish tribes contiguous to the Great Desert, whilst the left is peopled by the Negro race, the commerce carried on upon its shores is of the most limited kind of barter. A kind of blue cloth, expressly manufactured fur those countries, is the only article which the Moors will receive from the European traders, or rather from their agents; and the gum col lected in the stunted forests of those savage regions is the only commodity which they offer in exchange. The consequence of this primitive state of things is, that as money and credit are unknown, a falling off or an excess of the ex changeable commodities on either side threatens the trader with ruin. Of late years, the Moors have brought down less gum every season ; the quantity in 1841 was scarcely more than half what it was in 1838: and at the same time fresh capital has been embarked in the trade, the importation of European manufactures continued to increase, and these consig nments far exceeding in value the whole :quantity of broughtgum to market, the inevitable conse quence was the ruin of the Senegal merchant, and a considerable loss to his correspondent in France.. These are the ordinary results of over trading, Which naturally presented themselves at a very early stage of a rude traffic, where no variety of commodities, no specie, and none of the artificial machinery of commerce existed to lighten the pressure on the market. Under these circumstances, instead of leaving the evil to right itself, the French Government was in duced to create a monopoly by an ordinance of the 9th of February last, by which the whole trade in gum is made over to a Company with a capital of about 50,0001. The shareholders in this Company must all be merchants or agents established at Senegal; the shares held by each are limited in amount; but as we have already stated that most of the .Senegal merchants have been reduced to a state of insolvency by the disas trous operations of the last three years, and conse quently have not the means of availing them selves of a measure especially intended for their relief, their creditors may take shares in their names and appropriate three-quarters of the di vidend. This Company is constituted for five years; during which period the whole trade of the river is secured to it, but the rate of barter at which the cloths and gum are to be exchanged is to be fixed by the Governor in Council. Of course, the immediate effect of such a measure has been to put an interdict on those French commercial houses which had engaged in the gum-trade with sufficient capital to enable them to weather the crisis, so fatal to the co lonial speculators. Accordingly, the resistance which such a proceeding has called forth in France is even greater than the satisfac tion it has given to the fortunate mono polists in the colony ; and a commission has been appointed to examine into their rival claims. In recapitulating these facts, we have done little more than follow the narrative which the Journal des Debats has recently given of the whole transaction. But at a time when the practice of interposing the influence of the State in commercial transactions for the purpose of supporting what must fall, and of depressing what ought to rise, is universally reprobated by all who have the slightest acquaintance with the principles of trade, we will venture to assert that no other Government but that of France would dream of superseding the existing operations of substantial merchants in the mother country for the purpose of conferring a monopoly on the in solvents in a colony. Such a monopoly can scarcely fail to give a stimulus to the gum trade on the parts of the coast. where it does not exist, and the consequences of such an experiment will probably add an amusing chapter to the history of blunders in commercial legislation. GLOBE.—It is strongly surmised that, pre viously to the meeting of Parliament, Lord Stanley will be pitchforked into the House of Peers. The extreme age of the Duke of Wel lington renders him obviously incapable of the constant attendance and active participation in the debates which the Ministerial leadership im poses on him ; if indeed, his official duties as Com mander-in-Chief of the Army, did not render such a participation both impossible and improper. Lord Wharncliffe is found incompetent, from want of the necessary tact; and one more ready of speech, and more conversant with the general business of the Government, is deemed necessary. Sir Robert Peel also finds himself embarrassed by the difficulties in which Lord Stanley's pre sence in the Commons constantly places him. The Noble Lord is of too ardent temperament, and independent spirit, to allow himself to be confined within the limits of his own depart ment ; and is so little to be trusted in gene ral debate, that the utmost skill of his leader sometimes fails to extricate him and the Government from the consequences of Ltis indiscretion. How ,far the latter evil would be mitigated by trusting Lord Stanley with the re sponsible post of leader in the Lords, may be doubted; nor is it likely that the discordant ele ments of that assembly, which can scarcely be kept within bounds by the prestige of the Duke of Wellington's name, and the almost martial dis cipline he enforces upon them, will submit to be "led "by a newly-made Peer; who must, to a great extent, be ignorant of their forms, and be destitute of the influence which is essential to command attention. STANDARD.—A Stockport newspaper gives a melancholy account of the consequences of the late turn-out in that borough. From its statistics it would appear that a sum little short of 75,000/. has been lost to the inhabitants of that town alone by the late strike. Some notion may thus be formed of the enormous sacrifices that must have been made by the operative classes of the district, to enable them to remain out of work for so long a period. Setting aside the waste of their former earnings, and the dissipa tion of the funds of their benefit and friendly societies, the nature of their privations during this long and profitless struggle must have been most severe. But what care the leading instigators of this fatal demonstration for their sufferings ? To many of them, indeed, conscious of over production, and anxious not to increase their stocks until they could do so at a lower rate of wages, the excuse for temporarily shutting up their mills was rather convenient than otherwise ; and having the two-fold object of alarming the Government and grinding the faces of the manufacturing poor at the same time, they set about the work energetically and in good earnest; and although they have miserably failed in accomplishing either object, whatever sacrifices toe attempt has cost has fallen wholly on the victims of their cunning. No one who remembers the menaces which preceded the late disturbances on the part of the Anti-Corn- Leaguers and their emissaries, can arrive at any other conviction than that the whole conspiracy was deliberately planned and carried, with the most perfect concert, into effect. Not content with originating the movement, the their Anti-Corn law agitat ors did every thing in increase it. The di stur b ances are nowpoll'averPto at end, but in th e i nter i m the pooreriemclasfsoersPcydf' these populous dist r i cts (many of them into a temporary association with the rioters) have been, and still are called upon to endure the severest privations for their credulity; whilst even those who, by a return to their respec tive occupations, can provide with decency for their families, have been deprived b y t h e i r long : cessation from work, of comforts which savings, so fruitlessly expended ' might have procured for them. The aggregate amount of money which has been squandered in this outbreak must, in deed, be a frightful sum, if' that of a single be rough has been correctly estimated, at 75,000/. Dearly as it has been purchased, however, the lesson cannot fail of proving an impressive one ; since it will teach the humbler classes how little faith they can repose in those dema gogues who have called upon them for sacri fices they have themselves been unwilling to incur ; and who have endeavoured to make them instruments of their own malignant passions, without the most remote prospect of advantage. If the estimate of the Stockport journalist be correct, several -hundred thousand pounds must have been squandered in this fruit less contest—a debt for which the League are morally responsible to their victims. To this amount, the enormous expense to which the country has been put for restoring and maintain ing the public peace, and compensating for pro perty wantonly and wickedly destroyed, has of course to be added; and it is not until the balance has been duly ascertained that the country can fully appreciate the extent of its obligations to Anti-Corn-law agitators. ' MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.—We are glad to hear that a grand demonstration will take place early next month, on the occasion of layinc , the foundation stone of the Reading Cemetery. The Brethren in Berk shire aro making every arrangement to do due honour to the occasion ; and from the ready mode of access by railway, and its short distance from town, it is fully expected that there will be a large muster of the Brethren, not only from the neighbourhood and the province, but from L ondon ; also, such an occur rence as the laying of a stone with Masonic honours n ot having taken place for many yea rs i n th e t own o f Reading, no doubt will cause a great i nflux of n on the occasion. W e b elieve that the stone will t laid by J. Ramsbotto m , Es q., M.P., Prom or Berks.—Advertiser. c s i a r l a G r and iNhs ter f MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—Out letters from Amsterdam advert to the failure of recent negotiations at the Hague as. the cause of the decline in the value of Dutch Stock. It appears that the impossibility had been recognised of getting through the number of small claims which Belgium had against Holland, and which were to be deducted from the sum which Belgium had to pay Holland, according to the treaty of April, 1839. Belgium was therefore requested to name a certain sum, the payment of which would satisfy all her claims, and the Belgian Commissioner went to his country to settle the amount. He has since returned, and the sum claimed by Belgium is said to be so exor bitant that it will be impossible to bring the affair to a conclusion, the amount being equal to one-fifth of that due from Belgium to Holland. The policy of the present duty on tobacco has been lately examined at length by Mr. Todd, Chair man of the American Chamber of Commerce, in a letter to Sir R. Peel. The purpsse of his communi cation is to show the expediency of reducing the rate from 3s. per lb. to ls., for the benefit both of the consumer and of the revenue. The present cost of tobacco, including freight and all charges, being from 3d. to 4cl. per lb., it follows that the duty is 900 per cent. on the value, and the cost of smuggling being no more than 9id. per lb. (including the first cost), it follows that the smuggler can sell his tobacco at 2s. 6d. per lb., which is 6d. less than the duty alone, and can still gain ls. 8-id. By this a great tempta tion to the smuggler is clearly shown, and the statistics of the consumption of tobacco from the year 1801 to 1841 prove that it has not increased according to the ratio of population, while the consumption of tea and coffee has even increased beyond that ratio. The tables showing the con sumption of these several articles for the years above-mentioned give 77,6511. as the amount yielded by coffee to the revenue in the year 1801, when the duty was Is. 7d. per lb. ; 379,6501. for 1821, when the duty was ls.; and 710,5241. for 1841, when the duty was 6d. Tobacco in 1821, at 4s. per lb., yielded 3,164,673/. ; and in 1841, at 3s. per lb., 3,314,215/. ; the difference of the duty not being sufficient to limit the profits of the smuggler to any material extent. Ireland furnishes the American with a further illustration of his views. In 1798 the consumption there was 8,000,0001 b., and now, though the population has doubled, it is about 3,000,00016. less. The reason alleged is, that the duty was but Bd. in 1798, and at that period England and Scotland together, with more than double the population of Ireland, consumed very little more tobacco, the duty in England and Scotland being ls. 7d. The total consumption of tobacco in Great Britain and Ireland for the year 1841 is set down at 22,094,7721 b. ; but this is merely the quantity that yields duty, and Mr. Todd believes that the real quantity is about 53,711,8561 b., the bulk being supplied by the illicit trader. CHRONICLE.—The Emperor of Russia has pub lished an Ukase, authorising the banker, Baron Streg litz, of St. Petersburgh, to make a loan of 40 to 50 millions silver roubles to defray the expenses of the railroad between St. Petersburgh and Moscow. For the present year only eight millions roubles will be issued, giving four per cent. interest, and the loan is to be called the Second Four per Cent. Loan : inte rest to begin from the Ist of August. The dividends are payable, Ist to 15th of February, and Ist to 15th of August, at St. Petersburgh. The sinking fund will amount to 75,000 roubles per annum for the first two years ; and for the following two years, beginning 1845, 200,000 roubles. If, by and by, it should be more advisable to issue the other parts of the loan at 3A- or 3 per cent. it will be done. The amount to be issued every year will depend upon the outlay which the railroad may require, and six months' notice will be given to Baron Streglitz. Letters from Amsterdam mention that the loan will be issued in a very few days, and that it will most probably come out there at about 94 to 95 per cent. HERALD.—The recent failures in the Corn Market and in Manchester appear to have exercised a more sinister influence upon the Money Market, than from the abundance of unemployed capital, and there • fore of money, might have been anticipated. It is remarked, in monetary circles, that an unusual scarcity of good bills is apparent among those presented for discount, and this. if true, necessarily tends to an in crease of caution in discount transactions. The scarcity alluded to may, however, and most probably is, more imaginary than real, that is relative rather than posi tive, and may be sufficiently explained upon the hypo thesis, or rather by the fact, that the class of bills which some few weeks, or so far back as three months ago, only would have been deemed unquestionable, have now been disqualified as such from the unfortu nate casualties in those particular branches of the trade with which connected. Thus many bills tainted immediately or remotely with a corn trade or corn speculative origin, the integrity of which it would have been heresy to doubt some time since, have now fallen under the ban of opinion, and from being placed in the first rank of standard discount values are reduced to a more dubious stand ing of second or third class mercantile securities. The same may be said of some descriptions of Lancashire paper values which have become discredited more or less by recent joint• stock banking disclosures and trading misadventures. The rates of discount have consequently advanced, and money, of which so lately there was a plethora, appears to have become scarce; appears, it is said, because with a circulation so full as at present, and with a demand for it for the active purposes of trade so little, if at all, on the increase, the fact cannot in reality be so. For first class, as admitted to be so, the rate of discount is now 3 per cent., so lately as low as 2i and even 2 per cent. For other sorts of paper, which a short time ago would have passed unquestioned, the rates cannot b e f a i r l y specified, as they are of fluctuating amount according to the faith and opinion of bankers and money brokers, and the subject therefore of special agre-e -ment between parties when accepted at all. Custom-house frauds are not of course confined to this country, nor, as it seems, is the discovery of them. According to the Dutch papers a system of extensive frauds has just been found out at Rotterdam, the ex planatory details of which, however, are not given, further than that they have taken place in regard to sugar, and that the Handelmaatshappy, the great Netherlands Trading Company, will be the sufferer, and not the Government. The reports in the Herald and other papers re specting th e f rau d s i n th e Custom-house here have excited considerable interest, although so far it is remarked that they do not quite fulfil the expecta tions raised by the promise of the astounding revela ions of fads and parties implicated which were to follow. It is, however, considered to be impossibl = , that the matter can stop where it is, and that in due course the whole of the nefarious practices now opened will be followed out. Where so many par ties are cognisant of course no secret can be kept for any length of time, and if it could the approaching session of Parliament must put an end to all mystery, for a report will be called for and must be made by the commission of inquiry. Such report cannot fail necessarily to be full and complete, seeing so many parties are mixed up in the inquiry both as witnesses and as implicated in the malpractices so long going on The immediate progress of the exposure is how ever looked for with much anxiety, and the forth coming articles in the papers are awaited with in terest corresponding. The sons of the Prince of Schonberg, accompanied by their tutor, Professor Bach, of Halle, are, during their vacation, paying a flying visit to our metropolis. On Monday they were conducted by Mr. IL Fearon, jun., over the St. Katharine and London Docks. In one vault which they visited (there are eight others) there are now 28,000 casks of wine; they then went over the Custom-house, the Bank, and other City establishm en t s , w i t h the colossal magnitude of which they wereastonished and gratified. They proceed to Manchester. We understand that on the Ist of October the mu nicipal authorities of Manchester, Birmingham, and .Bolton will, for the first time, undertake the direc tion and management of their own police. From 1839 to the present period the police force of Man chester and Birmingham has been under the corn mand of Sir Charles Shaw and Captain Burgess, Commissioners appointed by Government. We have I learnt with regret that Captain Burgess has received an intimation from the town-clerk, that, by a reso lution of the "Watch Committee, his assistance - will not be required after the Ist of October, the period at which his services terminate ; and it is under stood that the authorities of Manchester have pre. pared a force of 250 men, who are, on the Ist of October, to take the duty now performed by Sir Charles Shaw's force, which, it is said, are then to he disbanded. The arrangements with regard to Bolton have not transpired. Colonel Angelo was appointed the Commissioner of Police for Bolton by the Whig Government in 1839 ; but, after organizing the necessary force of about 20 men, the Gallant Co lonel, in a spirited letter to the Mayor of Bolton, re signed his appointment, freely expressing his opinion that it would be " a complete robbery for him to ac cent from the town of Bolton a salary of 500/. per annum for an office, the duties of which could be per formed by a corporal in the regular service." Col. Angelo is now one of the candidates for the office of Commissioner of Police for the City of London in the event of a vacancy, through the election' o: Mr. Whittle liarver to the situation of High Bailiff of Southwark. Some change in the discipline of the City police is evidently necessary, for, with some very few exceptions, they are perfectly unequal' to their duty.— Times.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1842. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PALACE COURT, Sept. 30. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. Margaret Farrell, a tall, elegant-looking girl, of about 22 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with attempting to destroy herself by throwing her self from Blackfriars'-bridge. A policeman, who was on duty last night on Black friars-bridge, stated, that he saw the prisoner walking up and down the bridge apparently in a very agitated state. He watched her, and observed her attempt to get over the bridge, but he came up and prevented her. The prisoner in her defence said—Sir, I came to the Blackfriars-road three months ago, with a person with whom I have been living. About six weeks ago he left me, since which I have been in a very dis tressed state, and yesterday I was turned out of my lodgings. I had nowhere to go to, or to put my head in. What was Itodo ? I must either drown myself or go upon the streets. That, Sir, I will never do, so help me heaven, and if I go from this bar I shall im mediately do the same thing again. The MAGISTRATE inquired if she had any friends ? The prisoner, weeping, said that her father lived in Palace New-road, Westminster. She had applied to him, but she was turned from the house, and told:to go and live as she had done before. The MAGISTRATE remanded her for two days, and gave directions to the Clerk to apply to the father o the girl respecting his daughter. BO W-STREET. APPREHENSION OF MR. FEARGUS O'CON NOR AND MR. BAIRSTOW, THE CHAR TIST LECTURER. This morning Mr. Feargus O'Connor and Mr. Bairstow were brought up, having been arrested upon a Government warrant, for certain Inflammatory speeches which have lately been delivered by those gentlemen. The examination was strictly private, no person being present except the parties and their solicitors, the Chief Magistrate, Mr. Hall, and Mr. Burnaby, the Chief Clerk. The prisoners were taken first to the Gardener's-lane station-house, but subsequently they were taken in custody to Bow -street. What took place on the examination we are unable to state, as the strictest secrecy was observed by the parties about the office. We learned that the prisoners were held to bail, but whether to appear at a subsequent examina tion, or to appear at the sessions, we were unable to ascertain, but it was generally understood that they were held to bail, to appear again before the Magis trates at this office. Mr. O'Connor was apprehended this morning in a coffee-shop, and the warrant was issued, we have since learned, for seditious words spoken at Man chester on the occasion of a meeting for the purpcse of erecting a monument to the late Mr. Hunt. CLERKENWELL. On Thursday Richard Bourke was finally examined before Mr. Greenwood, charged with havingattempted to murder his wife with a hatchet. The particulars of the case have already been de tailed. Yesterday, en the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mrs. Bourke made her appearance in a very weakly. condition. When the officer presented the New Tes tament, in order to administer the usual oath, she that it was her duty to l oo k her children and protect th em . at fo ns r daY what he h a d d one t o h er f rom t h e i d st:o e ht c ett l ho i fnemoerdpgoratfiayshkeoeinnr him eghrei heart and soul, and she did not wish to hurt him. She would not be sworn to give evidence against I hope God w ill f org i ve hi m Mr. GREENWOOD told h er th a t s h e m i g h t f org i ve a well him, m y a s d e d l i f ir him, but the law would not, for such a violent out rage. If she refused to give her evidence, they must try and get it as well as they could from others. He should certainly send her to prison if she persisted in her refusal to be sworn to give evidence, for the pur pose of detaining her, and insuring her attendance at the trial. She then consented to be sworn, to hear her depo sition read over as taken at the former examination ; and on its being read by the clerk, Mr. GREENWOOD asked her whether it was all right ? She replied, faintly, "It is all right." Mr. GREENWOOD ordered the clerk to set that down in the deposition. Sarah Sayers, a lodger in the same house, being sworn, said that she was a l arme d b y th e cr i es o f " Murder," and " Police." She saw the prisoner come out of his room. He kicked Mrs. Bourke on the face, and he returned to his room, and shut the door. Mrs. Bourke kept kicking at the door. Wit ness afterwards saw her with her head cut and bleed ing, in the passage. She heard her say it was done with a hatchet. Mr. George Kanney, house-surgeon at the Univer sity College Hospital, being sworn, stated that the wife, Mary Bourke, was brought to the hospital at half-past one o'clock in the morning of Friday last, with a severe cut on her head, which penetrated to the bone, which was also injured. The wound was evidently caused by some sharp instrument. There were no symptoms of danger at the time, although dangerous results might ensue. She was not kept a the hospital. She was taken back to her home. Waddington, the gaoler, stated that the prisoner said he was sorry he did not do for her with the hatchet, whilst he was in his room adjacent to the Court. Whilst the prisoner was at the bar, he was seen to hand a letter to a woman behind, which was taken from herby liamley-buildi ngs, wool. It was directed to ~Richard Bourke, N o. 9 , tr., Waddington, and handed to Mr. Green to come fro m Th omas M u ll one y, a priest, from D rom, dated 14th,F e Bristol, England," and purp or t e d 1835, and to be a freedom f or mar riage in desiring the u sua l (I r i s h) wa y, him t o h an d it to his worthy pastor.

It appeared from the evidence, that last night, be , tween ten and eleven o'clock, the prisoner and a young man named Bankes were drinking in a beer shop in lligh-street, Islington. The bar-maid gave the prisoner some beer unknown to her master, which Bankes communicated to him. Vigo said nothing at the time, but soon after left the house, and when Bankes was returning home, waylaid him at half-past .!leven o'clock, in High-street.

MARLBOROUGH - STREE 7. Sir J osep h D ouglas, o f No. 27, Ca m b r id ge -ter race, Hyde -park, appeared before Mr. Hardwick, the presiding Magistrate, to prefer a complaint agai ns t the driver of the Paddington omnibus No. 516, for FLEMING V. MAILLARD. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 51. ss. for work and labour performed. It appeared that the plaintiff is a literary gentleman, residing in Seymour-place, Euston-square, and the defendant is a barrister, who has lately published a work upon Texas. This action was brought to re cover the amount named in the declaration, for the revision of the work by the plaintiff, and the transla• tion of about a dozen pages of letter-press from the Spanish language. A gentleman from the Morning Post was called as a witness, and stated, that he considered the amount claimed a fair and reasonable remuneration for the services of the plaintiff in the revision of the work. The Jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 30. IN RE JANE MACKLIN. The insolvent in this case was described in her schedule as a laundress, and appeared in Court to be discharged under rather peculiar circumstances. It appeared from the evidence, which occupied the entire day, that an old lady named Godbold, aged 81 years, was possessed of a large estate in the vicinity of Oxford, which she sold to a person called Dr. Twy cross, residing in Oxford, who subsequently sold it to a Mr. King. This latter person also transferred his interest in it lo another, and several under-tenants being located upon the estate, the consequence was interminable litigation. Air. Murray, barrister, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, de posed that he was nephew of Mrs. Godbold, and that he was sure she was unfit to manage her own affairs at the time the sale was made to Twycross. She was subject to a peculiar monomania, and had such a dread of law, that he considered she would resign all her property under a threat of legal proceedings. The insolvent was in possession of a small cottage on the estate, and Tywcross having instituted an action against her and several others in the Court of Queen's Bench, she left the key in the door, and walked into the house next door, when another person took possession of the one she left. Mr. WOODROFFE addressed the Court in aggrava tion of remand, and Mr. Cooke being about to speak on behalf of the insolvent, Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said he had deter mined on discharging her. The insolvent, who appeared a poor and infirm, ignorant woman, unconscious of her position, then left the Court. Police-constable 194 D took the prisoner into cus tody. When in Dudley-street, he was obliged to act as described by last witness; and prisoner's wife run ning out into the street, flew at him like a tigress and scratched his face. The male prisoner in defence stated, thathe had laid down 6d. and was perhaps noisy at the idea of being as he thought cheated. He denied having used any violence, but said that wishing to inform his wife and friends that he was being taken to the station house, he rung his own house bell, when the police man threw him down with the utmost violence upon the street, and then knelt upon hiS neck till he was almost insensible. He should have been dead in a minute or two had he not been relieved. This evidence was confirmed by two witnesses. Mr. LONG said, that after the very respectable wit nesses who had deposed to the policeman's conduct, he could not doubt for a moment that a great deal of un necessary violence had been used, and he also thought that the policeman's charge against the female could not be proved in one particular. There was a very general cry against the police at present, and he thought conduct like the present was not calculated to allay it.—The case was dismissed. UNION-HALL. The Rev. Mr. Curling, the Chaplain of Saint Sa viour's, complained that a Captain Stevens, Proprietor of the baths in the Westminster-road, had extensively circulated a placard, describing that he (Mr. Curling) was about to preach a sermon in aid of the funds of the Swimming Bah Society. Now he (gr. Cuff ing) denied that such was the fact, and he was de sirous of disabusing the public mind on the occasion, as he had no such intention. His object in the pre sent application was to give publicity to his contradic tion of such a misrepresentation. Caroline Fitzmaurice, a young female, was charged with attempting to drown herself. The unfortunate girl, who, it appeared, had only left her situation a fortnight ago, owing to her being enciente, and being driven to great distress, and appre hensive of going to her family in her situation, deter . - mined on self destruction. She therefore proceeded down the steps of London-bridge, and was in the act of precipitating herself into the river, when she was prevented by a gentleman. As she refused to give any information relative to her family, she was held to bail. LAMB ITH-STREET. On Thursday Ebenezer Cheeserent was brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton under the following extraordinary circumstances : Mr. Thomas Evitt, a solicitor, of Haydon-square, Minories, who attended for the prosecution, after stating the nature of the charge against the prisoner, called 14rs. Greare, a well-dressed young woman, who deposed that on the 9th o f June last she was married at Whitechapel Church to her present husband, Mr. George Greare, and that previous to her marriage she had been for some years housekeeper to a highly respectable tradesman in High-street, Whitechapel. Immediately after their marriage her husband took the Globe and Friends public-house, in Morgan street, Commercial-road, Ea3t, and three weeks ago she received his sanction to visit her friends near Sheffield, in Yorkshire. On Monday morning last she returned+o town, and on going to her hous e s h e had learned for the first time that during her absence some extraordinary proceeding's had taken place, that her brother-in-law, Mr. Henry Greare, had taken possession of the house and property, and had sent her husband to a lunatic asylum. Finding the pr:soner in possession of the house, and ap parently managing the business, she asked him by what authority he was there, and he replied his own. She then told him that she was the lawful wife of Mr. George Greare, and should insist upon stopping there and managing the business. The prisoner indifferently replied that he had nothing to do with that ; that he had been placed in the house to attend to the business by Mr. Henry Greare, and there he should remain. Shortly afterwards Mr. Henry Greare came to the house and began to abuse her, and said she had no right there. At this moment a man asked her for a pint of b eer , an d as s h e was about to draw it, Mr. Henry Greare pushed her away from the engine, and told her she had no business there—that he had made himself responsible after she had left the house to the brewer and distiller. She however told him she should remain, and subsequently ordered the prisoner out of the house, but he refused to go. She asked him what had become of her hus band, and he replied he did not know. She also asked her brother•in-law, Mr. Henry Greare, where her husband was, or what they had done with him, and his reply was, that she should never see him again. On the day before she consulted Mr. Evitt, who came to her house, and by his desire she gave the prisoner into the custody of a policeman. In reply to the questions of the Magistrates, Mrs. Greare said the prisoner had offered• no violence to her, but persisted, contrary to her wishes, stopping in the house and interferin with her business, by draw ing beer a n d s pi r it s an d receiving money for it. The witness also said her husband had not, to her know ledge, exhibited the slightest indication of insanity, but when under the influence of drink he was rather flighty and talkative, but not more so than other men when under similar influences. Mr. Evitt being sworn, stated that on going to the house and finding the prisoner there, he asked him once or twice for authority for being in the house and interfering with the business; and the only an swer he would give was, that he ),en placed there by Mr. Henry Greare, who A 11 as his attorney, he said he expected ei • r.nt. He (Mr. Evitt) waited from six o'clock unit! near ten o'clock, and finding that neither Mr. Greare nor his attorney appeared, he recommended Mrs. Greare to call in a policeman and give the defendant into cus tody, which she did. Mr. Evitt added, that while at the station-house he had been informed that Mr. George Greare was confined in a lunatic asylum at Stoke Newington, though no notice had been served of.the fact, as required by Act of Parliament. The defendent, in reply to the charge, said, that on the evening of Wednesday fortnight he was sent for by Mr. Henry Greare, who had been acquainted with his family for many years, and on going to the Globe and Friends public-house, he found Mr. H. Greare. his brother Charles, his sister, and other members of the family there. Mr. Greare informed him that Mrs. Greare, the present complainant, had absconded from her home on the previous morning in company with a common prostit u t e w h o li ve d next d oor, taking with her the whole of her clothes and other property. Mr. Greare also informed him that his brother had waited up to past two o'clock on the following morn ing, expecting every moment that she would return, but finding that she had not he became very much affected by her absence, and drank to such an excess that he abandoned his borne, leaving it merely to the care of a little girl. At the urgent request of tho family he went to several places in the hope of being able to find Mr. G. Greare, but was unable to do so, and . serious apprehensions were at the time enter tamed that he had laid violent hands upon himself. On that night; (Wednesday fortnight) he, by the desire'of Mr. H. Greare and his brother, took charg, of the house, there being no person there at the time but a girl, who was afraid to stop there alone. He continued there until last Monday, when Mrs. Grear( made her appearance, and, representing herself as the wife of Mr. G. Greare, and entitled to manage the business, he sent for Mr. 11. Greare. On his arrival, and seeing the complainant, he expressed his surprise that she should show her face after the manner she had treated his brother, and at such a time, and de sired him (the defendant) to remain there to take care of the business as before. In consequence of this direction he remained until he was given into custody. In reply to a question of'Mr.NoRToN, the defendant furious driving, and against the conductor of the same vehicle for making use of abusive language. Sir Joseph Douglas stated that about three o'clock on -Tuesday afternoon last as he was proceeding in his carriage along Oxford-street, near to the Pantheon Bazaar, the omnibus in question was approaching in the opposite direction, the. horses galloping at a furious rate of speed, and on the wrong side, in consequence of which the omnibuses came in collision with the carriage and smashed in some of the pannels, and on the driver being expostulated with the conductor made use of abusive and insulting language. Mr. HitunwicK ordered summonses' to be issued against the parties. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said he thought, as regarded the conductor, to bring the case under the provisions of the Act, commonly called the Stage Coach Act, that abusive language must be made use of to a passenger. Mr. HARDWICK said, that at all events the con ductor was liable to be punished under the Police Act, for using insulting language in a public highway, tending to excite a breach of the peace. On referring to the first-mentioned Act, Ist and 2d Vic. cap. 79, sec. 16, it was found to be an offence for the conductor of,any public carriage to use abusive or insulting language, " during his employment," to any person, and for ,which he was liable to a penalty not exceeding 5/. Summonses were accordingly issued, and the hearing of the case fixed for Thursday. MARYLEBONE.. George and Elizabegz Ayres, a respectable trades man and his wife, were placed at the bar, the former on a charge of creating a riot, and the latter with en deavouring to rescue her husband from the police. Thomas Young, the landlord of the " Dudley Arms" public-house, Paddington, stated that about half-past ten last night prisoner was in his house. Heard him quarrelling with the barman about the change of six pence. He requested defendant to leave the house, and as he would not, he was compelled to give him in charge to the police. Ml'Kenzie, barman to the former, stated that when the man was taken into custody, he became very vio lent, and on his way to the station in Dudley-street, he caught hold of the railings and pulled the bell twice or thrice. The policeman was obliged to throw him down, and kneel upon him, till more assistance came. said he did not know of his own knowledge where Mr. G. Greare was. He, however, acknoWled ge d that Mr. H. Greare informed him that on the night of Wednesday fortnight, upon leaving her, and getting into an omnibus in the Commercial-road, his brother George subsequently got into the same vehicle, and instantly fell in a state of insensibility on the seat. Mrs. Greare denied most solemnly the accusation made against her, and said she had the full permission of her husband to visit her friends. She also said, in reply to her solicitor, that her husband, upon taking the house, had placed in the hands of bro ther Henry upwards of MR., for which he received his I. 0. U. This document was placed in a chest, with the brewers' and distillers' books and writings of im portance; and this box Mr. Henry Greare had re moved from her house. Mr. Evitt assured the Magistrate that the character of his client had been grossly traduced; for that from all the inquiries he had made, he believed her to be a most respectable woman. The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was admitted to bail. A friend of Mr. H. Greare said he was too unwell to attend on that day, but would be present on the next, to give the fullest explanation of his conduct. THAMES-POLICE. --- On Thursday Mr. T. Vickers, the chief mate of the Thomas Lee, East Indiaman, appeared before Mr. Ballantine to answer a charge of assaulting Joseph Gabbie, an apprentice boy, during the outward voyage to Singapore. The boy detailed a series of assaults committed upon him by the mate. On the 11th of last December the boy was sent up to varnish the masts, and he dropped some o f th e varn i s h on t h e deck, whereupon the mate beat him severely with a rope's end. On the 18th of the same month the lad was at the wheel steering, as close as th e squa ll y wcat h er perm i tte d him, when the mate came to him, and said he was two points out of his course, and struck him a violent blow on the face and broke his nose. The mate beat him almost every day, and on one occasion beat him over the head and stunned him. Sometimes he was kicked from one end of the deck to the other, and knocked down and was rendered at last so completely miserable by the tyranny of the mate, that he ran away from the ship at Singapore, and joined another, the William Stewart Hamilton, in which he came home to London, and arrived here at the same time as the Thomas Lee. A witness confirmed the statement of the corn.. plainant, and said the mate used him very badly indeed. The mate, in defence, said th e b o y was very saucy when he spoke to him at the wheel, and he gave him a slap of the face, which made his nose bleed, but did not break it. He never chastised the boy except win n it was absolutely necessary, and then not unmercifully. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the complainant's witness if there was a scar on the boy's nose when he joined the ship ? The witness replied in the negative, and said that Gabble compl a i ne d th at hi s nose wasbroken by the mate, and it bled very much. Mr. BALLANTINE was of opinion the boy had been used very cruelly, and harassed and made so uncom fortable that he was glad to escape from the tyranny of an unfeeling man. He heard of these things almost daily, and the tyranny and cruelty of those intrusted with a little power on board ship, and who did not know how to use it, either drove seamen to make re sistance, which was mutiny, or else to leave the ship and forfeit their wages. If the present laws were not sufficient to protect seamen and boys from such but rages, others more stringent would be passed, for public feeling would not allow such harshness to be exercised on board merchant-vessels. The defendant had no right to strike the boy at all. If he bad mis- . conducted himself, a complaint should have been made to the Captain who might, if the circumstanc e s de manded it, and after "due inquiry, have ordered proper and temperate chastisement. He could not dispose of this case summarily, as the assaults had been com mitted more than three months ago, and he ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 401. to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, where the boy could go and indict him. Captain Henry Street, the master and owner of the ship Victoria, from Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, was next charged with assaulting a lad named James Thompson, at sea. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 10th of February last the complainant, who is one of the ap prentices, gave offence to the Captain, in consequence of delaying the breakfast, and he beat him across the head with both his fists. On another occasion, while the boy was at the helm, the Captain came aft with a sextant in his hand, and struck him on the face and cut his eye very severely. John Murray, a seaman, stated that he had seen the Captain beat Thompson on three different ocea , sions, and he never "gave tongue" or did anything to deserve it. He saw the boy's eye cut. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should treat this case as he did the last, and ordered Captain Street to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 401., to answer the charge at the sessions. A Solicitor said he had a complete answer to the case. Mr. BALLANTINE—You shall make your answer at the Old Bailey Court, for the case will go there for trial. THE MARKETS.-4YESTERDAY CORN EXCHANGE.
