'WY 2" No. 15,435. LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING SUN S FEBRUARY 23, 1842 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF MONDAY. GLOBE.—We are not " Total " Corn-law Re pealers ; but we certainly shall be such, as soon as Sir Robert Peel has convinced us that there is no consistent ground to stand upon between his notion of Corn-law alteration and Total Repeal. And here may we not be allowed to hint - th a t th ere is some little shadow of danger (even to a Minister with 123 majority at his back)—some little danger,. at least, to the interest which that Minister affects to place foremost—in taking such pains to make it believed, in times like the pre sent, that there is no alternative between giving that interest confessedly a higher rate of protection than proportionate to its burdens, and giving that inte rest no protection at all—that there is no alterna tive, consistent in principle, between refusing re gular commerce in the most important article of com merce, with all our customers equally, and throwing open our ports to that commerce without any duties at all. Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Gladstone, and Sir James Graham, are compelled to admit that the present Bill does not bear the stamp of a final measure. Are they anxious to. cut away all ground for a fixed duty in future changes ? Are they anxious to convince the community that no reform short of aholition can answer the only purpose for which reform has been sought at all ? We promise them they nia) , find their enter prise easier than they imagine. There is alwaysa - strong tendency in the popular mind to prefer the simplest and most unlimited applications of prin ciple. A great deal may be said, and cannot be easily answered, against imposing any fiscal bur deny on the first necessaries of life. And we assure the projectors of the present complex piece of empiri cal legislation, that if they succeed in convincing the public mind that any simpler scale is impracticable, they will have gone far to convince it of the noxious ness of all Corn-laws whatever. Indeed that convic tion is very widely. extended already—quite suffi ciently so to justify Mr. Villiers in bringing forward his motion. Even without what we have stigmatised as dangerous arguments, the mere experiment of an inade quate measure of change seems to us highly dan gerous. Here we have an extremely complex piece of legislative machinery proposed for adoption, of which even its makers cannot pretend to tell us with any sort of precision what will be its effect—and of which the only thing which can be predicted with perfect certainty is, that it will not admit a steady and regular trade with all markets. We have here a machine, the intended working of which is to give the agriculturists something more titan protection in proportion to their alleged burdens—to exclude foreign competition to a certain extent—an extent sufficient, it is supposed, to encou rage them to make us independent of foreigners. Now, either it is impossible for the home growth to make us independent (and Sir R. Peel could not venture distinctly to deny this)—and in that case, he avowedly impedes supplies which we cannot dis- NATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCIETY FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c.

And there is not the least ground for suspicion that the French Government, or the high-minded and generous P eo p le o f }'farce, have a wish to proiect the traffic in slaves. A:quitting Great Britain, therefore, of having given cause for hesitation on the part of France, and as freely acquitting France of any sordid motive in hesita • ting to ratify the Treaty, we must, we fear, ascribe that hesitation to a feelibg from which even high-minded and generous eouß tions to the Memb ers of the Cabinet, l ir e t p a r l i ta i y p - s le fr o e f e—a feeling of jealousy. patting wi t h le t a n d e in v g ie r e o s f extracting infbrmation as to the precise nature of the measures in preparation, or such replies as may enable in genious speculators to guess at them with any degree of certainty, we look upon as ex tremely objectionable, and one that ifyielded to would be attended with the greatest incon venience and injury.

MONEY MARKET und CITY NEWS, FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The heaviness witnessed in the several markets could not be at all accounted for. The signature of the Anti slavery Treaty by the leading Powers, with the omi ss i on of France, is under s t oo d t o h ave been owing to the active influ ence of the representative of the United States at Paris. This circumstance was of course, not overlooked. Failures were, moreover, talked of. A bill- broker, and several, or at all events two or three houses connected with the seed, or oil-trade, carrying on business on the banks of the river, were said to be under embarrassment, and reports of this nature have generally some effect on the value of stock ; but we should rather think the decline we have quoted may have had Its origin principally in the bear operations of the dealers in anticipation of the ac count-day in Consols, which is close at hand. pense with—or else we can , in average seasons, grow sufficient to supply our wants. And in that case, years of abundance will destroy the effect of legisla tive protection. STANDARD.—The Examiner has selected some passages from the speeches of Lords Palmerston and John Russell in the late debate, as comprising the pith of their respective arguments, and as decisive of the question discussed. It is convenient to have the Opposition arguments thus brought within reason able limits, and in a tangible shape, and presented by a party whose bias must be above exception on the part of those using the arguments. We shall ac cordingly take leave to investigate the se l ec t e d pas sages of the Examiner as making up the case of the Opposition. The first extract conveys Lord Palmer , ston's view of protection : "Yo do not do this in any other trade. You do not call upon the merchant, and tell him that you will insure him against any loss of cargo by the acciaents at sea, or for other deteriorations which the property they are bringing home may sustain.—(Hear, hear.) You do not send him to different places to bring in what you want, and excite a rise in price to prevent the diminution of the quantity of a commodity. I object to the applica tion of this principle to the agricultural interest.—(Hear, hear ) I hold that the landlords and the cultivators of the soil should calculate against loss like persons engaged in other pursuits, :and make ante for the contingencies of the seasons.—(Hear, hear.) I am not the advocate for a fixed duty for the reasons given in favour of a protecting duty by the Right Hon. Baronet, that the farmer= and cultivator of the soil should be protected when the price was - below a certain point, and when prices were above it, that the consumer should be looked to. I contend for the principle, that you are justified in levying taxation for the purposes of revenue only—(Loud cheers)—therefore, I do not see why the importation of corn from abroad should not take place when you levy such a duty as not to in terfere or impede an abundance of supply."—(Cheers.) Lord Palmerston's first proposition has not even a shadow of foundation. So far from not giving protec tion against competition in any other trade, such pro tection is given in every other trade. We challenge Lord Palmerston to name the trade in which foreigners can possibly compete, which is not guarded, and very properly guarded, by high protecting duties. The iron trade, the woollen trade, the cotton trade, the silk trade, are all so protected —even the trade of the merchant, cited by Lord Palmerton to serve his purpose, is guarded by the Navigation Act and by operative differential 'duties. Ah ! but som e one will say, these t ra d es are guarded generally against competition, but they are not guarded against the vicissitudes of the seasons. True ; they are not guarded against the vicissitudes of the seasons, and for a very good reaso n , b ecause they are not affected by the vicissitudes of the seasons. Were it possible that they could be so affected, the universally adopted principle proves that they would be protected. The cas e then stands thus —all trades are protected gene rally against foreign competition ; but agriculture is, for the good of the common-wealth, stripped of pro tection when the cou n t ry i s v i s i ted by an unfavourable season—forgive it this wrong. .

We. announce with deep regret, on the authority of a com munication received from Paris, by express, that the ratifica tion of the Treaty between the Five Great Powers of Europe, for the Suppression of the Slave Trade, which, according to the previous arrangement, was to have been accomplished on Saturday or Monday next, will be delayed, if not prevented, by the French Government. Of the sincerity and good faith with which the French Go vernment concluded this important Treaty there cannot be any doubt. It was the result of a proposal originating with France, in conjunction with Great Britain, and France and Great Britain equally rejoiced in the acces!ion of the other Powers. To congratulate each other or, the general concurrence of Europe in a humane and benevolent suggestion, which had emanated from them conjointly, seemed, indeed, to be all that remained for England and France to do. It is the more to be lamented that M. Guizot should have suffered himself to be overborne by the Radical Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, and by the outcry which demo cratic orators have endeavoured to excite throughout France, that the most recent proceedings of the Chamber demonstrate the comparative weakness of this party, and the paramount strength of the French Government—a strength to be shaken only by that Government placing itself in the wrong. M. Guizot, feeling himself compelled to refuse, for the present, to join, without reserve, in the name of France, in ratifying the Treaty in the precise terms in which it has been concluded, proposed certain modifications. In these modifi cations Lord Aberdeen has declined to acquiesce, being of opinion, that, as a British Minister, he ought not to admit the necessity of any guarantee fur the disinterestedness and probity of Great Britain in respect of the abolition of the slave trade, these having been already proved by sacrifices and efforts in that cause, to which neither France nor any other country can produce a parellel. It is certain, indeed, that upon this subject the conduct of France and that of Great Britain are in striking contrast. France, relieved from the necessity of encouraging the sugar culture in her colonies, and even adopting, in furtherance of the interests of the domestic cultivators of the beet-root, the policy of positive discouragement to the culture of the cane, has never drawn sixpence from her national purse to relieve the distress of her slave subjects, although, at a very small ex pense, increase p might t of have se nr ity diffused tn t he much favouredliapp happiness ess in departmenther n f colonies, er p d we o i m nths e ea s:tic agriculture. We lament that M. Guizot should have thought himself compelled to pursue a course in respect to the slave trade con vention which hi s own intelligent and loft factionse t i t a which surround c onsolatio n to us hi m t olearn,nssy mind cannot ap po nr t e h d t as h e weh a a s re that de featedveis the Y attachment to th e cause of truth' and right is sincere,. r h though it may not a l ways be eff ect ive; remaining upon term s o f amity with Gallic neig hbo urs would be greatly impaired by our .. any diminution of his pobtical power. —Post. late ne cold weather and the prevalence of snow in many parts of France seem to have been highly propitious to sportsmen fond of wolf-hunting. The departmental papers have recently been prolific in accounts of animals of this species having been shot in all parts of the country, especially in Nor- Aaapdy and in the Jura, _ _ • GLOBE.—The arguments on the Ministerial side of the Corn-law question will go down to posterity, if in deed they go down at all, as the most monstrous monu ment ever reared by class-ignorance on class-interest. We say this quite dispassionately ; for, in truth, we do not think greatly better of some of the arguments put forward in succession on our own side of the question. There is a sort of Spanish arrogance and superiority in our own conceit over other nations, occasionally displayed on both sides, combined either with strutting airs of inde pendence of foreign supplies (at the very moment when so many are cloakingstarvation in threadbare garments), or with swelling boasts of becoming the sole workshop and factory of the world (at the very moment when rival manufactures are every where meeting us in neutral mar kets)—there is, as it seems to us, a blindness to realities, and a grasping at unrealities, which, to our apprehension, are amongst those symptoms which mark the decline of nations. Strike out all the nonsense from the speeches on both sides about depending on nobody for our fond, and supplying everybody with our manufactures—strike out all this arrogant nonsense, and groundless assump tion—and what will be left ? Few of the sentence which call forth cheers; but all the common sense of the subject. The sort of pretensions which the landed interest set forth as entitling them to exclude commerce would justify a State-inquisition into their mode of ma naging their estates. We are, forsooth, to depend upon nobody but upon them for our daily bread. Why are we to depend upon them ? How are we to be assured that they have an interest in providing us with abundance, or, if they have, that they act on it ? Our simpler forefathers did look after every man's fields, and every min's barns ; and if, with our vast population, we are statedly to depend on home growth, we must look after them. We must see that this landlord does not sacrifice to political interest the encouragement (by granting leases and otherwise) .which he owes to his tenantry, in order that they may have a motive for im proving cultivation to the utmost. We must see that ano ther does not devote to embellishment or amusement the ground that is wanting for the supply of increasing numbers—that he does not withdraw a rood of ground from arable whict is fitted for it. In Edward the Sixth's days, and earlier, these were deemed matters for royal proclamation. Our ancestors deemed the gross produce as deserving attention as the net produce of the soil, and abundance for the people at a cheap rate, as " remunerating prices" for the farmer. We may smile at their simplicity, but we have followed the worse part of their precedents. 'We have legislated ex clusively for prices, and cared exclusively for rents. STANDARD.—Lord Aberdeen's presentation of the Treaty ratified between Prussia, Austria, Russia, and Great Britain, for the suppression of the slave trade, calls attention to a subject of some serious consideration —serious, not merely as respects the object of this Treaty, but the state of feeling upon the Continent of Europe. It is probably known to most of our readers that this Treaty is little more than an act of adhesion by the other Great Powers to a former Treaty ratified between Great Britain and France eleven years ago, and which, of course, is still in force as regards the nations parties to it. A few years since, however, Great Britain and France agreed-to invite Prussia, Austria, and Russia, to ; these Powers pr enter into the common engagem ent comprehend in and' France taking the initiative. Thi s i s the Treaty, promptly ly Fi ac ve ctil Powers, ieweci was agreed and a new Treaty, Pon, G reat B r i ta i n the ratification of which by Four Powers was an nounced last night by Lord Aberdeen ; but the name of WHITEHALL, FEB. 5.

To-day much dulness prevailed in the British Plantation Sugar market, and the trilling quantity disposed of was at ra ther lower rates; the eomparative cheapness of Bengal and Mauritius Sugar cause the trade to supply their immediate wants with those sorts, and this will in some measure account for the extreme small quantity of West India Sugar sold of late. At public sale, 36 hhds Trinidad were offered, and sold at 62s 6d for good middling brightyellow, and 60. to 6ls for mid. RE FINED. —To-day there was little business transacted in Refined goods for Home consumption, and 79s to 79s 6d is the value of standard lumps.

Of Company's Congou several parcels were taken for clearing at Is 101 d, cash, but on speculation few purchases have been made, the smallness of the stock checking operations.— Yesterday, however, there was less business transacted, this may be ascribed to the large public sales declared, viz. of 8,000 pkgs for Thursday, and 28,000 pkgs for the Ist March. The deliveries of Tea keep on a large scale, and during the past week reached 466,0001b5. The quantity imported during that time amounted to 28,000 pkgs. To-day the market presented a quiet aspect, the prices ac cepted are rather lower. ;Common Free Trade Congou cash selling at Is 100. to Is 104 d.

Other kinds have brought full rates. This afternoon a fair amount of business was transacted pri vately in Coffee for home consumption, and buyers were com pelled to pay stiffer rates, holders supplying the market sparingly, which may be principally ascribed to an opinion being current that Government will reduce the duty on all kinds of Coffee.

Prices have been sustained for Pimento, and there has been a steady demand. Mace sells slowly. Nutmegs are held with firmness, and fair business has been transacted. Cloves have been little sought after, but prices keep up. Cinnamon is difficult of sale, and in some cases rather lower prices have been accepted. East India Ginger at stiffer rates.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is guard of one of the Brighton vans, against the defendant, a tailor, residing in Fleet-street, to recover the valueof a coach, horses, and household furniture, which had been seized by the Sheriff of Surrey, for a debt due from plaintiff's brother to the defendant. The property in question had been purchased by the plaintiff of his brother some time before the seizure had been made for the debt due to defendant ; but, for the defence, it was contended that the sale was collusive, for the purpose of defrauding the vendor's creditors. The jury returned a ♦erdict for plaintiff. thereby finding that the sale was a bona fide one. OMELET V. FAWCELTY. This was an action brought by an attorney to recover his bill of costs for business transacted for defendant in the Insolvent Court and elsewhere. Defendant pleaded a set-off in the shape of board and lodgings for plaintiffand his family. After the plaintiff's case had closed, it was agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, and a juror was withdrawn. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 22. OUCHTERLONT V. GIRSON. This was an action of trover to recover papers and books alleged to be improperly detained by the defendant, an official assignee. It appeared that the plaintiff became a bankrupt, but by the consent of his creditors, the bankruptcy was superseded. In the mean time the assignee (defendant) had taken possession of the plaintiff's property, on the supercession of the fiat. Application was made for the restoration of the books, which the defendant refused, upon the ground that he had a lien for his services.—Ver. diet for the plaintiff.—The Court rose at 12 o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 22. THORNTON V. PORTMLN. The Solicitor-General, with Mr. Martyn, were Counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Butt appeared for the defendant. This case seemed to excite the greatest interest in the sporting world : the Court was crowded to excess at au early hour. Several gentlemen of distinction on the turf were present, many of whom were accommodated with seats on the bench. It was an action brought to recover back a sum of 1,2501., paid by the plaintiff to Mr. Portman, in discharge of a bet, lost by Mr. Portman, to Mr. Gurney at the last Epsom Races, had, with other members of the Jockey Club, undertaken the settlement of Mr. Gurney's affairs, and entered into a written agreement to re. ceive all the debts due to Mr. Gurney, and to discharge in full all the demands against him. With that view he obtained from Mr. Thornton, the plaintiff, the sum for which this action was brought, and executed a written agreement to pay the demands in full by the end of the Houghton Meeting. It subsequently appeared that there was a departure from that agreement, and in some instances no more than I Os., and 7s. in the pound were paid. In consequence of this departure from the agreement, Mr. Thornton felt himself called upon to bring this action. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL then called witnesses to prove the agreement : Lord George Bentinck stated that he had no • interest in the transaction, He had been a member of the Jockey-club for several years, and also in the habit of attending the Epsom Races The prac tice of paying the money lost and won was, for the parties to attend at Tattersall's on the Tuesday after the races, in order to settle accounts. When a party does not pay the money he last, the practice is not to pay him. On the occasion in ques. lion, Mr. Gurney had made bets to a considerable amount at Epsom. He came to Tattersall's on the following Tuesday, to settle his bets, but he paid no money. In consequence of that many persons who had lost bets to him did not pay. He (Lord G. Bentinck) was among the number. He refused to pay unless a guarantee was given for the payment of all Mr. Gurney's accounts in full by the end of the Houghton Meeting. A guarantee to that effect was signed on the 19th June 1541, and he then paid the money. The guarantee was put into the hand of Colonel Anson, senior steward. It was signed by Mr. Portman, the defendant. He recommended all who had lost to Mr. Gurney, to pay also, when that guarantee was given. The Houghton Meeting generally falls in the month of November. It always commences in the month of October, and generally terminates in the next month. That year it terminated on Saturday, the 30th October. The settlement at Tattersalls was consequently to take place on the 2d November. He was present when accounts were produced at a meeting of the Jockey.club at Tattersall's, but the defendant did not appear. Cross-examined —There was a Mr. Dixon, who had lost money to Mr, Gurney. The balance sheet of Mr. Gurney's account was produced, His affairs seemed on paper to be a winning game, but practically it was a losing game.—(Laughter.) Two persons named Davis and Atkins had lost money to Gurney, and refused to pay in consequence of the rumour that Gurney refused to pay his losses. This was the first case of this description he had known. The course taken with reference to Mr. Gurney's affair was sanctioned by the majority of the Jockey-club, and among others by Lord Exeter, Colonel Peel, Mr Gregory, and Lord Stradbrook. He (witness) was of opinion, that the stewards of the Jockey.club should have enforced the payment of the full amount of the debts due to Gurney, as well as those he owed. The rules of the Jockey.club are only binding on those who bet at Newmarket, except with the consent of the parties. Mr. Edward Hind stated that he had won 5251. from Mr. Gur. ney, and had seen him at Tattersall's, but received no money from him. He received subsequently 1851. from Colonel Peel, on account of Mr. Gurney's debt. He had received no more sinee, but was satisfied with the amount received. In cross-examination, he said he received only 7s. in the pound, and signed the release two months ago. Mr. TUESIGER then addressed the jury on behalf of the defen' dant, when Lord ADINGER summed up, and statod that Mr. Thornton was not in law bound to pay the 1,250/., but if he had chosen to do so he had a perfect right to declare the terms on which he would pay it, and those terms should have been strictly conformed to. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 1,2501. The Soctcrros-Gamtnsi. informed the Court that money was not Mr. Thornton's object, but he wished to assert the principle, and begged to inform the Court that it was Mr. Thernton's intention to hand over the amount to Christ's Hospital. (That announcement was received with loud cheers.) INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Feb. 22. IN RE WILLIAM WATTS. The insolvent was a horsealealer, and had been before the Court in the year 1840, when he was discharged. He now appeared again in Court to receive the benefit of the Act. Mr. Commissioner REYNotns (addressing Mr. Roberts, the in_ solvent's solicitor), said he was very fortunate in having perpetual clients. Mr. ROBERTS-My clients are always satisfied with me. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—If a person required passing three times through this Court, I should recommend him to you, Mr. Roberts. Mr. COOKE said, upon the insolvent's former application to this Court, he (Mr. Cooke) appeared as his Counsel, when it appeared that he had at one time been most respectable, and dealt largely in horses ; but upon his journey to one of the great midland horse fairs he received so se►ere an injury by a fall from his gig as to im pair his intellect and totally unfit him for business. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—It is rather extraordinary that his intellect was equal to one thing and not to another. Ile had sense enough to run in debt to the amount of upwards of 5001. and circulate accommodation bills to a large amount. If such high au thority as Mr. Cooke were to be of avail in a case like this, he (Mr, Commissioner Reynolds) feared they would have many cases of broken heads in Court. . The insolvent was eventually declared entitled to the benefit of the Act. RE WILLIAM HAYWARD. The insolvent, who was taken from the Prison Infirmary, for the purpose of being heard on his petition to be discharged, and ap peared so weak as to be scarcely able to stand, was opposed by a person.nained Fox, residing in Farnborough, Kent. He had been the proprietor of the King of Prussia tavern, in Greenwich, and attributed his insolvency to long sickness. The opposing creditor appeared in person, and cross-examined the insolvent at great length on several matters connected with his expenditure, amongst which were the expenses incurred at his wife's funeral. The insohent stated that he sold the interest in his house to a person named Kingsford, but owing to his being in the infir mary was unable to give all the details of the transaction t• his at. torney in preparing his balance sheet. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said lie regretted, in the present state of the insolvent's health, that he should be obliged to send bun back to prison until the attendance of Kingsford could be pro cured, and a frobh balance-sheet filed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Telford, a man dressed as a sailor, with marks of anchors and stars on his hands and arms, with weak eyes and long white hair, such as may occasionally be seen on "Fair Circassians " in the travelling shows at fairs, was charged with begging. Police constable F VS, stated that he found the prisoner at a quarter past seven on Monday, standing in the Strand with his hat off, some small pamphlets in his hand, and a boarct around his neck with the following inscription on it--" The Hi' dory of J. Telford from his infancy to the present period." Did riot see the prisoner receive any money, nor was there any found in late possession.

Y ou are discharged now. Sarah Russell was charged by a well dressed young femal e, named Lynch, on suspicion of stealin g a r i ng. The prosecutor stated, that she was standing it the door Of Mr. Lacy's public-house, Bow-street, between nine and ten on Monday night, with the ring in question in her hand ; the prisoner came up and asked witness to let her see it. She gave her the ring in her hand, when prisoner immediately sa'sl, " Dear me, I've dicipped it." Search was instantly made for the ring in the area of Mr. Lacy's house, and elsewhere, but it could 3 not he found. The ring was a mourning ring, worth 305., belonged to the prosecutrix's mistress. Several othei witnesses were CA:led, who corroborated thelstate. ment of the prosecutrix. The prisoner, in defence, made a long statement, endeavoltring to convince the Magistrate that she had never had the ring in her hand at all, but that the prosecutrix dropped it herself, and, to avoid being blamed by her mistress, had caused her to be taken into custody. The prisoner was ultimately remanded till F.iday next. THE Lucsvaa.sox NVISANCE.—Thi ea little girls, of tender age, were charged with annoying passengers in the street. Police Constable F. 83, stated that ho apprehended the prisoners in the Strand, yesterday, near Temple-bar; they were running after every respectable person, and in piteous tones importuning them to purchase lucifers. He had several times cautioned them not to annoy people in that way, but they persisted, and as witness was frequently applied to by passers by to prevent the children‘frota following them, he had no alternative but to take them th the station.house. In reply to questions from the Magistrate, the elder girl, an ht. telligent and very interesting -looking child, probabty about tea years of age, stated that she was not begging, but endoaVouting to sell the matches. She had purchased fourteen that morning for 3d., and she had sold half a dozen at a halfpenny each. ' The Worthy MacisreaTe ordered them to be detained till he could see what should be done with them. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A{/'red Morley, a very aged and venerable-looking man, with a profusion of white long hair flowing over his shoulders, and whose manners and siteech at once denoted his having seen better days, was brought up by police-constable No. 147 of the F division, who found him on Monday evening sitting on the step of a door in Old Cempton.street, Soho, in the rain, and in a very exhausted state, and shivering with cold. On questioning him he stated that be had no home or place of habitation, and was in a state of - utter destitution. In answer to questions put to him by Mr. Maltby, be stated that he had been a tradesman in a respectable way of bush ness in St. James's parish ; but misfortune and the infirmities Nei. dental to his advanced age corning upon him, having outlived all his friends, he by degrees sunk into his present impoverished state. The poor old man added with tears that he could not bring himself to beg, he had attempted to supplicate charity, but " the word& stuck in his throat." The Worthy Magistrate gave him some silver from the poor. box, and directed the parochial officers of St. James's to be sent for, in order that some proper and permanent relief might be af. forded to the prisoner. The prisoner very feelingly expressed bow deeply grateful he was for the Magistrate's humane and charitable consideration of his case, C♦USING ♦ DISTURBANCE ♦T Tit DUCE OR WELLINGTON*--..

Police Constable No. 40, of the C division, stated that about half-past four o'clock on Monday after noon he found the prisoner ha the act of rushing with all her force against one of the entrance.. gates of the Court-yard of his Gr.ice's mansion, and which she etuced open with such violence as to sh a tte r t wo l am p s placed one on each side. On the porter ejecting her, and closing the gates she forced them open again, and was then taken into custody. The old woman, whose intellects seemed to be impaired, talked in a very rambling and unconnected inann-r, and, after being ad.. monished not to repeat her visit to his Grace's residence, was liberated.

Mrs. Ann Pittman, the mother to the prisoner, (who seemed dreadfully affected, and with somo dilllculty gave her evidence stated that the prisoner is married, hut his wife has turned out to be a bad character, which has caused their separation, and the prisoner's unsettled state of mind. The priioner has until these last three months been in the service of his father, as carman, who wishing to separate him from his wife, got him a situation at Gravesend, where he has been until last night, when he broke into the back part of his father's house, No. I, Port. land.place, Walworth-common, about 12 o'clock, and entered - the kitchen, took the carving -knife and cut his throat in a dreadful manner.

BINGHAM said that he could only account tbr thainisoneri‘ violence on the supposition that he wished to be sent tai,th on : An d he should order him to pay the sum of 45., the value of the glass, or be committed to th e H ouse o f C orrection for a fortniklit. THAMES POLICE. On Monday, David Mill er , R o b ert W alters, John Brewster, and John Ander s o n , a ll b e l ong i ng to tilt Perth steam-boat, were charged before M r . Broderip, with having committed an assault upon Richard Day, a waterraan, and obstructing and assaulting a Thames policeman in tLe execution of his l uty, by pushing him into the water. It appeared that on Sunday night about 11 o'clock, the de. fendants went to Wapping Old Stairs, for the purpose of hiring a boat to take them oa board the Perth. They had agreed with Day, and got into the beat which was pushed off, and on being requested to sit down, began to abuse the water man, and insisted upon rowing the beat themselves. Day became alarmed at their violent conduct, pulled the boat ashore and declined the fare. Upon this, they seized him, and held him down in the boat, which they pushed off, and it drifted down with the tide. Day called out for th., police, who quickly pulled towards them, and Policeman Richard Oliver got into the boat; he had no sooner done so, however, than Brewster made an attack upon him and pushed him overboard. Fortunately, it was not high water at the time, and Oliver succeeded in get ing a footing, and ultimately draped the boat on shore, when they were all four taken to the station•house. They were all intoxicated. Mr. BRODERIP said that the offence was a very serious one, and, if the policeman had been drowned, they would most likely have been tried for their lives. They might think them.. selves fortunate that they were standing where they were, as in all probability, had they drifted much further, the boat would have been capsized by running against another vessel. He should fine them all—Brewster 51 , or two months' im• prisonment ; Walter 31., or six weeks' imprisonment; Ander. son 205., or a fortnight's imprisonment, and Miller 10s., or one week's imprisonment. The defendants paid the fines, and went quietly off to their ships. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, FEB. 21.—Wind this day at noon S. to S.W. DEAL, FEB. 19. —Wind S.S.
