POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .JL-L Yesterday, Thomas James Reynolds, the person who stands charged with being the accomplice of Godwin, the policeman. who was convicted last session of having robbed Mrs. Lewis, cf Silver-street, under circumstances of extreme aggravation, and transported for 15 years, was brought ap for re-examination. The Commissioner of the City police was present during the in vestigation, which attracted a very crowded auditory. The City Solicitor attended upon the part of the prosecution. The City Solicitor, it is proper to state, said upon the pre vious examination, that very important. information had been received, from which he was led to conclude that if further time were given for inquiry, conclusive evidence in the case could be produced; that the Commissioner of the City police had been indefatigable in sifting the facts, and expected that he should be able to elicit information of very mate. sal consequence to the public, and that the prisoner charged other membe.s of the force with participation in transactions similar to that he which he knew Godwin was engaged. With respect to the charges made by Reynolds, the City Solicitor observed, that , perhaps that individual only brought them in revenge fur their vigilance in brineing him to justice. At all events, the Com missioner of the City police would direct that any persons con nected with the force whom the prisoner wished to have pre sent during the examination should be in attendance. Sir CHAPNIAN MARSHALL, who presided yesterday, having heard all the former evidence on the subject read from Mr. Ilobler's book, asked whether there was any additional evidence ? The City Solicitor replied in the affirmative, and also said that the several members of the force whose presence was re quired were also present. Resnold;—l Lts: ish, before anything more is said, that Mr. Hobler would add to the depositions taken down on a former ex amination what was stated by Mrs. Lewis as to the fact of my having no bundle in my possession when she saw me on the Thursday night. The City Solicitor having questioned Mrs. Lewis on the sub ject, said that her statement as to the circumstance should ap pear in the depositions. Reynolds—Very well. I consider it important now, but forgot to mark it before. I must do all I can fur myself, as I know every advantage will be taken of me. Mary Josling was then called by the City Solicitor.—She resided at and kept the public-house called the Red Lion at No. 53l B ismghall-street. She knew the prisoner. He came to her house on Thursday, the 24th of March, at a few minutes before or after eleven o'clock at night. Reynolds here stared at the woman, and affected great surprise. " Where do you say you live?" said he. Witness— At the Red Lion. Why, you know it well. . Reynolds—l know nothing at all about you. Witness proceeded—The prisoner, on entering the house, looked round inquisitively, and then said to a little man who %vas behind him, and had a bundle in his hand, " It's all right, come in." The little man then entered, and they laid the bundle, which appeared to contain something very hrittle, with great care upon the seat in front of the bar. The bundle was wrapped up in a dark shawl, with a very narrow border, and the little man handed it to the prisoner, who put it down very carefully. The prisoner then asked the little man what he wonld have, to which the latter replied, " he did not care." Reynolds—Now let that evidence be most particularly taken down. This woman is guilty of gross perjury. Do you say you are the landlady of the house? Witness—You know that very well. Reynolds—Where do you live do you say ? Witness—Why at No. 52, Basing,hall-street, to be sure. Reynolds as there anything remarkable that you observed about me ? Witness—l observed that you took a pennyworth of gin with your left hand. You know perfectly well it's true. Reynolds—Order, ceder, Missus, don't put yourself in a feisti e r. And what time was this do you say? Witness—A , few minutes before or after eleven o'clock. Reynolds—Well, and you say there was a little man with me ? Witness—Yes. Reynolds—Why, you said just now that he came in after me? Witness—He was just behind you as you entered. Reynolds (in a loud tone) —Well the little man will have to prove that he was somewhere else on that night. Now let me know why you, knowing all this, did not come forward before to give evidence? Witness—l never was called upon. Reynolds-1 am sorry to see you in such a position, utter ing wilful falsehoods. 'Witness—l never spoke a word that was not true, I swear. Sir C. .MARSHALL—Prisoner, you know perfectly well that you are addressing the witness in a very improper tone and language. Reynolds—Never mind, Sir. I have a number of police men here about me, and I know several of them to be thieves. This is a regular Islam against me. Sir C. MARSHALL—You must be aware that you are con ducting your case in a very improper manner. Reynolds—Why, Sir, here is the fact. A policeman is taken up for a robbery, and he never knew me ; but be is told at the station-honse that my name is Reynolds, and he is desired to say that I led him into the business. The City Solicitor, asked the prisoner whether he wished to put any more questions to the witness ? Reynolds replied that he had nothing snore to ask her. The City Solicitor—That is my case, and I wish this man I to be committed for trial. Sir C. MARSHALL—Do wish to say anything in your defence? Reynolds—l shall make my defence to the twelve men who will try me. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—The evidence which has been just heard was merely brought forward to strengthen the case. l'he Lord Mayor said that he considered the evidence he had heard quite sufficient.. Reynolds—l asp aware the Lord Mayor told me I should be committed, but I wish for a farther remand. I should wish, too, to put a few questions to a policeman or two who are here. The City Solicitor—l do not call any other witness. Sir C. MARSHALL—Prisoner, you can call a policeman or any other witnesses you please to summon on your trial. Reynolds—But will I be sure of their attendance? The City Solicitor—The prisoner knows perfectly well how to get witnesses to attend at the Central Criminal Court. Reynolds then requested that the Alderman would read the contents of a letter he handed over as grounds for requiring to be remanded. It was, he declared, absolutely necessary to his defence that a remand should take place. Sir C. MARSHALL, having consulted Mr. Hobler, who, upon reading the letter, said the prisoner made grave charges against some of the police, which, if proved, would. be most impor tant to the public, said that, under the circumstances, and the City Solicitor having made no objection, he should accede to the request. The prisoner, whose conduct throughout was indescribably insolent, was then remanded for a week. Immediately after Reynolds' removal a little man, of very remarkable appearance, named Joshua Potts, was put to the bar. Mrs. Josling, who gave evidence in Reynolds' case, was then called and examined. She stated that the prisoner was the little man who accompanied Reynolds to her house with the bundle on the night of the robbery at Mrs. Lewis's house. She had nothing to add but that she told him at the station-house that he was the man. Potts—You said you thought I was the person, but you did not say positively. Ido not know you, or where you live, and I can prove by my brother and my d, and a fellow-lodger, that 1 was at home from five o'clock in the evening of Thurs day ti:l Friday morning. You said, too, I had different clothes on ; now I have no other clothes, Witness—You are the same man. Sir C. MARSHALL—Have you any doubt? Witness—Not the least. I have not spoken a word but the truth, I'll be on my oath. In answer to questions from Sir C. 'Marshal, the prisoner said he was a nosebag maker, and that he took home some nosebags to Mr. Wardle, a cab-owner, on the Friday morning. , He also said he had written to his lodgings since his apprehen sion, but he supposed the letter had not been received. The policeman who had Potts in custody said the prisoner's landlord refused to come forward, and that the prisoner was the man who waited upon Reynolds when the latter was con cealed in a house. Sir C. MARSHALL said it was his duty to remand the pri sorter, who should be, however, supplied with facilities of com inunication with his friends, and might call witnesses to prove an alibi.—Remanded accordingly. BOW-S 7 BEET. Yesterday Nicholas Suisse, the valet to the late Marquis of Hertford, who has undergone several examinations at this Court on a charge of embezzling nearly 8,0001., the property of his late master, and wit) was remanded for a week, was again brought before Mr. Jardine. Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin, together with Mr. Nobler, again attended for the prosecution; and Meters. Clarkson and fames, with Mr. Flower, for the defence. Mr. C. Phillips said he had apprised Mr. Jardine that a gentleman had been sent to Paris by Mr. Hobler, for the pur pose of collecting evidence, whose mission, he was happy to say, had been quite successful. Mr. Jardine would remember that a letter was found on the person of the prison it by in spector Partridge, which, at the time, was not deemed impor tant. Owing to she sagacity of Mr. Croker, the meaning of this letter had - been discovered, and that gentleman had fur nished a translation. It would turn out that after the death of the Marquis of Hertford a person o t f atan t c h dh e eit n d ame of Cailliez, whose name had transpired before during this investigation, CAMP over to England from Paris. He was furnished wi:h documents, called " inscriptions," to a large amount, by the prisoner. These inscriptions would produce 1,2001. a year, inscriptions in question. Mr. Jar and would sell in the market for between 2 7,000/. and 28,0001. Jar dine, h n e e l h e ha t e t t e di r ta r s r y ee a dl tt, ( oe l i d r s e at F N d t vhae t s o a iN w l a . was quite mani festto the inscrip tionsbank notes. Al. Cailliez, on his arrival in London received were certain coupons, w re h C i ta c hi h ialit b z e a' ing cut off are used as the inscriptions and lodged them in the hands of his own br other, an eminent banker.

Suisse, from made pay abeto being hhn a s y t a i tl e o t . o t i h b t e turnedarer, , nnt andthhaatyteh this themwas impossible, as several of the coupons were lost, and could not be accounted for. And by the French law no inscription could be altered with March, Suisse the 12th from the name of bearer, unless the coup o ns could be accounted for in a satisfactory manner. After reading the letter he pro ceeded to call Mr. Branon Cailliez, who said — l reside in Paris. lam a i for the last ten °t or eleven -keeper y . r h s a. beenveinthe nglounait acquainted or 13th, 1 came to London, accompanied by a son of the pri soner, at whose (the son's) instance I came. He is about nhte, , d f w M t twenty-three sears of age. I fou n d M . S uisse at the late Marquis of Hertford's -house. I remained in London ten dais. The day 1 went away I received from the prisoner six in- scriptions of 5,000 francs each , annua ll y , o f French rentes. I lie said they were payable to the boarer , and he wished to have them transfer red to his own name. I have a brother a banker, in partnership with a M. De Back. I did not take notice at the time of the numbers, but I have since taken them down ; they are 335, 336, 33 1 , 338. 340, and 341. I delivered them to Cailliez and De Back immediately on my arrival in Paris. By etc. Clarkson—l got the numbers which I have named frem Messrs. Cailliez and De Back. It is very common to transfer the French rentes from the name of the bearer to the name of any particular person. In addition to the inscriptions I took over 58 coupons for 44,250 francs. Thomas Chun - des examined—l live at No. 2, Gloucester- ' piece, Camden-town. I a m a clerk to Mr. Hopkinson, the banker. I have seen the late Marquis of Hertford write. The writing in the pecket-book now before me is his, to the best of my belief. r find an entry of inscriptions of the Five per Cent. Rentes, from 335 to 3 41 consecutively, except 33 9 . It is written in ink. By Mr. Clarkson—The whole of the page i 3 in the late 4 Marquis's hand-writing. He was constantly in the habit of dra sing cheques for very large sums. I should say he drew to the amount of about 30,0001. or 40,0001. annually, on our house alone. The transactions at our house were only concern ing his private affairs. I have seen Suisse receiving the money for the cheques. After some conversation between Counsel, _ _ Mr. JARDINE said, if the charge which was stated on Tues thy last had been the only one preferred against the prisoner to-day, he should certainly have discharged him. But as an other and a more serious one was brought against him, which was deserving of the strictest investigation, and was much too heay. , to permit of his being at large, he should remand him this time for a fortnight. WORSHIP-STREET. Georg Morris, Charles Glynn, and Joseph Jones, three lime-porters lately in the service of Mr. Burton, the pro prietor of the Hackney-wharf lime-kilns, Cambridge-heath, were charged with having violently assaulted a lime-porter named John Greenhill, and thrown him into the Regent's Canal. Mr. Richard Burton stated that the prisoners had been in the service of his brother, and the charge against them arose out of a combination to extort a higher rate of wages than their employer thought proper to allow them, and to deter other men from being employed in their place. The prisoners had belonged to a gang whose business it was to unload the barges of lime that arrived at the wharf, and they were paid wages at the rate of 4d. a ton for ordinary work, and a penny per ton extra when the lime required to be sorted. On the pre ceding day a cargo arrived, which the prisoners' gang was ordered to unload, but they refused to go to work unless they were paid according to the higher scale of wages, and their demand not being complied with, on account of its being ordi nary work, a " strike" took place, in which they all took part. Being resolved not to yield to the exaction, witness immediately engaged a fresh gang at an adjoining wharf, but the latter were no sooner set to work, than they were assailed by the refractory gang, who used their utmost endea vours to induce them to join the strike. Some of the fresh men were frightened into compliance, but the complainant remained true to bis duty, in consequence of which the prisoners commenced a violent attack upon him, and having dragged him on board one of the barges they threw him into the canal, and the poor fellow narrowly escaped being drowned. On learning what had occurred, witness applied for assistance at the station-house of the K division, and Sergeants Smith and Parker arrived soon after, with a party of policemen, and took the prisoners into custody. Tke complainant stated that before resorting to acts of violence the prisoners endeavoured, by means of bribes and threats, to induce him and his fellow-workmen to join them, but he expressed his determination to stick to his work, upon which the prisoners attacked him with their fists, and after thrice knocking him down, they seized hold of him, and threw him into the canal. The water was so deep at the spot, that he was soused over head and ears, and was in some danger of being drowned, when a rope was flung to him, by means of which he succeeded in scrambling into a barge. Sergeant Parker stated, that on being taken into custody, the prisoners said they would act in the same way again, to pre vent a fresh set of men from working at inferior wages. Mr. Burton said, that the prisoners could easily earn 30s. a week, at the rate of wages they refused to work at. Upon being called upon for their defence, the prisoners re pealed the statement and admission they had made to Sergeant Parker. Mr. BINGHAM said that in every instance that had come within his knowledge, the system of " striking" for an advance of wages, so far from benefiting the parties engaged in it, had led to results that were of serious and lasting detriment to their interests. The offence with which the prisoners were charged we:4 of much too grave a nature to be disposed of in a summary manner, and he should commit them for trial.—. The prisoners were fully committed.

MEETING Gl' THE TIMBER TRADE.—There is a difference of opinion amongst those interested in this trade, as to the time at which the new duties should come into effect. The shipowners, builders, and others, whose great interest is in the activity of trade, wish them to come into force immedi ately, whilst the members of the British and North American Association, who are in general large holders of timber, and who hare paid the high duties, wish for time to work off their stocks. They asked for two years for this purpose, (we suppose on the principle on which Sam Slick asked for a dollar when he expected to get a quarter of one) and have got until October. Those who are in favour of the immediate introduc tion of the new duties maintain that this will de the holders no good, for nobody will buy under such circumstances, whilst the delay will totally paralyze the trade with British North Ame rica, and, therefore, urge that the new duties should come into operation at once.—Liverpool Times. ALARMING ASSEMBLAGES IN LANCASHIRE.— MEETING AND PROCESSION AT COLNE.—We understand that on Monday last an immense body of unemployed weavers and other operatives assembled together in the town of Colne, and paraded the streets at various hours of the day. The assemblage consisted, we are told, of several thousand persons. The procession bore with it flags and banners, on `'Bread of which were the words, Bread or blood !" The military were in readiness to act, had riot oc curred, but it fortanately happened that the proceedings of the multitude were rot marked by any disorder or tumult. The object of the meeting was to show the number of un employed people in the town and neighbourhood, andthe dis tress and poverty which they were suffering. Some speeches were made, but the purport of them our Correspondent has not communicated. The inhabitants were thrown into great alarm by this demonstration, but no injury was done to person or property, and the assemblage broke up in the even in,g in perfect order. Our informant states that another meeting is expected to take place on Monday next, and that the magis terial authorities will be prepared to preserve the public peace. The misery and wretchedness of the working-classes in the district of Colne are absolutely appalling. Thousands of men are reduced to starvation, and bordering on despair. What the end of this alarming state of things will be it is dreadful to contemplate.—Manchester Times. Lord IVestern has, it is said, intimated to his tenants that if they find themselves affected by the changes brought about by the propo'ed ministerial measures, he will, upon application, cancel their existing leases, and thus leave them free to enter into fresh bargains under the new state of things. The Reparatcur of Lyons states that on the 13th inst. the Jupiter struck on a bank of rock, almost level with the water, near the confluence of the Isere. The shock was severe, and a considerable quantity of water was made in a short time, The captain, however, determined on proceeding to Valence, not more than three miles distant. The Irenet had not g further than Bourg, when she became water-logged, and, after a short time, went down, in front of the hospital. The passengers were landed in safety.

S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch M inufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; anti that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehou'es in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand tor it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottl?s. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the ;plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly siipply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly 'gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met within tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent introduction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of m os t agreeable flavour, and made of the best materials, without re gard to cost. Physicians and medical men con:tautly recom mend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less desi ra bl e as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates ex ecuted on the shortest notice. A man of the name of Peeters, of Granshoren in Belgium, was last week visiting kbrewery with one of the men, when the latter, wishing to show his strength, held his visitor over the vat, and, unfortun a t e ly, l e t hi m f a ll i n to the boiling liquid. The other workmen with some difficulty got him nut, but so dreadfully scalded, that no hopes were entertained of his recovery. LONDON WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 27, 1842. Mr. LABIA: THERE has placed the following notice on the Paper of the House of Commons :—" In Committee on the Tariff, to move that the duty on foreign sugar be reduced to 30s. per cwt., and on colonial sugar to 20s. per cwt.." We regard that as an excellent motion, which, if carried, will make the tariff worth having. At present, the duty on foreign sugar is 635. ; the re duction of that to 305., and of colonial sugar from 245. to 205., will bring into the market a large additional quantity of sugar, and lower the price very consider ably. It will extend our trade with the Brazils and Cuba, and the a double benefit—both supplying the people, at a cheap rate, with a wholesome article of diet, and giving them employment by which they may purchase it. To the lower and middle classes a reduc tion of the sugar duties would be a greater benefit than the reduction of the timber duties ; and we do not see how Sir ROBERT PEEL can consistently resist the proposition. Its effects on the revenue would be advantageous. Supposing that some portion of our colonial sugar be excluded from the market—though we do not believe that a single hogshead less would be sold—tor every cwt. of colonial sugar displaced by foreign sugar the revenue would gain 65., the difference between the present duty on colonial sugar and the duty on foreign sugar. All the increased consumption, which would be very consi derable, as the supply of sugar is notoriously short, would yield 30s. per cwt. to the State, and the con sumer would at the same time pay a much lower price than at present. All parties, except a few West India planters—and we doubt whether they would suffer much —would be benefited by abating the enormous discri minating duty on sugar. Like loosening the barbarous stays with which fashion cramps the forms of our young tamales, making them at once deformed and weak, it would confer on the community an unadulterated bless ing by permitting the operation. to a certain extent, of the life and health-preserving action of nature. The farmers, whose interests are so much assailed by other parts of the tariff, would find a compensation for some of their losses, by a largo reduction in the price of sugar. They have fruit to preserve ; they can make wine ; they can improve their cyder ; they can cure meat more efficaciously ; they can feed their fami lies at a less cost if sugar be cheaper. As their mono polies are to be abated, justice requires that the mono polies of other classes, and especially the biggest and worst of our monopolies, after the corn, the sugar mo nopoly, should be abated. The farmers should urge their representatives, therefore, to support Mr. LABOU• CIIERE'S resolution, and plainly tell them that they must not sacrifice the substantial interests of the constitu encies to the mere purpose of gratifying the ambition of Sir ROBERT PEEL. We expect that Sir ROBERT PEEL will now discard the fudge about encouraging slave-grown produce, and will oppose Mr. LABOUCHERE'S motion on the ground that the planters are at present in a bad condition, and that to lower the discriminating duty will ruin them altogether. But if they are dis tressed with the discriminating duty why should we continue to harass the whole empire by an unjust tax, which seems not to be of any benefit to the planters ? We believe that the bounty is the cause of their distress. It tempts them to make great exertions and submit to great expenses, which they cannot afterwards recover, in order to cultivate sugar. They bid, therefore, against each other for the services of the negroes, and , make it impossible to grow sugar except at a loss. lithe dis criminating duties were removed, the competition for labourers in the sugar-growing colonies would slacken, and very soon the planters would be able to cultivate their estates on much easier terms. But whatever may be their condition, they have been too long enriched by taxes levied on the sugar consumed by the people of England ; and though Mr. LABOUCHERE'S proposition will not extinguish those taxes, it will lessen their amount, and ought to receive general support. In the days of our prosperity we gave the planters :20,000,000/. for the emancipation of their slaves. It was well for them that they got the money then, for certainly, at no period since 1837, would the country have con sented to such a sacrifice. At present, we are too much reduced to continue the annual payments which our former exuberant generosity may encourage them to expect. We must now be a little just to ourselves, and if that should be the ruin of the planters, though we deny " OLD SAINT PAUL'S" IN SHILLING NUMBERS, With the Magazines, price One Shilling, Part the First of LI) SAINT PAUL' S A TALE of the PLAGUE and the FIRE.

Some of the electors of the City of Loudon, it appoars, have called a public meeting for this evening, to take into consideration the propriety of demanding the resignation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as Member for the City, on the ground that he is doing injury to commerce, by the fac tious opposition he offers to the measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Persons styling themselves London merchants write to the Tory papers to enforce this view, and affirm that the delay has already caused much disorder and embarrassment to trade. We admit the disorder, the embarrassment, and the delay. Are they caused by Lord JOHN RUSSELL ? We answer positively no. The embarrassment is caused by Sir ROBERT PEEL. He announced, six weeks ago, on the 11th of March, that he meant to make an immense number of alterations, some trifling, and some of great importance, in the Customs duties, and he has not yet thought proper to move a single resolution by which those alterations can be car ried into effect. He might, on the next Wednesday or next Friday, have proceeded to move resolutions in order to establish the new Customs duties, and relieve trade from the embarrassment he caused by his announce ment; but he chose to introduce an obnoxious, unjust. and inquisitorial Income-tax, with which he has occupied the House of Commons from that time to this. With that course of proceeding Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no thing whatever to do; it was entirely Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own choice, and he is responsible to the people, not only of London, but of the empire, for the embarrassment of trade which has ensued. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is Chargeable, we admit, with having opposed the Income-tax Resolutions and the Income-tax Bill. His conduct is justified, for he was bound to resist an obnoxious impost, which, he says, is alike unjust and unnecessary. Was he, or were the Members of the House of Commons, to pass that tax by acclamation, in order to enable Sir ROBERT PEEL to settle the Customs duties which he had unneces sarily and prematurely cast adrift ? It is unrea sonable to expect it, and the blame of the embarrass ment belongs to Sir ROBERT PEEL for unsettling the Customs duties ; the blame of the delay also belongs to him for taking up an obnoxious tax bill, and occupy ing himself and the Parliament with that, instead of at, once passing the Tariff. We believe that we are hardly justified in treating this meeting and this demand otherwise than as a Tory trick ; but supposing it real, and bona fide as the Tories assert, it places the citizens of London iu a despicable light in relation to the liber les of the country and to the rest of the empire. They are willing and anxious to impose an obnoxious impost on the whole community, that. they may get rid:. of the temporary embarrassment caused by Sir R. PEEL. Their conduct is extremely selfish and unpatriotic. They disregard the interests of the community, and are willing to sacrifice all liberty, even frowhing on those who op pose headlong oppression, in order to gain a few pounds. Such conduct is worthy of the character they have of late acquired. Gentlemen who make forced sales of their Creditors' goods—gentlemen who make fortunate pur chases of bankrupts' property a few weeks before the bankrupts stop—London correspondents of bankrupt !!ountry bankers, who- lose nothing by the bankruptcy that ruins and injures every other parson who has deal ings with the bankrupt, are proper persons to demand that Lord Jour; Itussta.t. should resign his seat because he has resisted the progress of the Income-tax. They Are acting in their selfish vocation. From such men, 'alter only to gather a little more gold on any terms, Av. naturally expect profound submission to PEEL, and hatred to all those who contend for the freedom and would promote the independence of the people. Are such the men who are moving in the City to unseat Lord JOHN RUSSELL ? COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen will hold a Privy Council at one o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.

The fineness of the weather yesterday attracted a vast as setnblage of persons to witness the Spring Meeting in the Champ de-Mars. We never saw so many carriages on the ground, and the whole circuit round the ropes was crowded ..with spectators many lines deep. From one o'clock to three the quays and other avenues to the course were crowded with carriages, horsemen, and foot-passengers, all anxious to wit ness the sport, particularly the hurdle race, which appeared to be the grand object of attraction. The hurdles, however, would be thought strange matters in England, as they were little snore than three feet and a half in height. At a quarter before two, when the first race was ran, the show of fashion in the carriages within the circuit and in the pavilions surpassed anything seen in former years.
