fIPIIIIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The proceedings in both Houses of Parliament. last night were brief, but the notices of what a little further time is, to produce, already indicate a Session of more than ordinary importance. The first notice given was by the Lard Chancellor : it related to a Bill whose title announces ioe importance—viz., " A Bill for amending the Ad ministration of Justice in the Court of Chancery. and for the i etter Administration of the Estate,: and Effects of Bankrupts." With the provisions of the Bill we are not acquainted, but never was ans measure more loudly, or more unremittingly, called for than one for regulating the Court of Chancery. We hope the present will prove satisfactory. It is singular that though not a very large portion of the vast population of the British empire can have been affected by the proceed ings of that Court, yet has the sense of their oppressive stature been so strong that Reform and amelioration have been called for as universally as if the comforts of every man's home had been destroyed by a Chancery suit. The very liability under which every man laboured ceeeted ter ror, as much as in other cases the positive autering on in fliction. 'Retrenchment, we hope o seeemnd, indeed, we have no doubte—will be the principle of Reform in this Court. On presenting some petitions in favour of Reform t o ties Rouse of norsls, Earl - Grey took occasion to antaounce .distintely, that whatever difficulties might be 'presumed to attach themselves to the preparations br any general upon that subject, his Majesty's Ministers had, with tee osmardinous assent and concurrence of the whole Govern- Atent, framed a measure which, he trusted, would give tol-. tisfaction to the tonntry, without passing the botmas of " a well-alvieed moderation," and which Would be sub mitted to the other House of Parliament with the least pe ,eol e el: ley. This formal declaration of the eel nest and +decided manner with whicii Ministers have alseady acted on their original pledges to their Sovereign and to the people, was received by their Lordships with !stalled and deep attention. *A similar opportunity Was laid hold mo by Lord Melbourne, viz, that of it petition presented* by Lord Darnley, to state to the Home the general 4,biects of the remedial policy to he adopted towards Ireland in the course of the current Session. The abuses of the Grand Jury Assessments are to he completely ob s 'tinted. The Vestry Act (pregnant with oppression and ill blood) is to be repealed, and a n w Bill substituted bn more just and impartial principles. Those clateses of the Seib-letting, Act, out of which have srisen eriany:erievous and afflicting circumstances to the poorer occupants of land in Ireland, are either to be altogether repealed, or ens tented, by new provisions, of any further power to work mischief, while the protective principles of the law will be left in full operation. A law avid be brought in for affording a liberal and profitable support to the desti tute poor, by finding them employment on works of ac knowledged public utility, the expense of which, com prehending the wages of the labourers, is to be &flayed by taxes levied on the proprietors of neighbouring estates. If not a poor-law, this is something very like it, with the difference, that the measure now suggested pro poses to remunerate the industrious, instead of fostering the idle, and by rendering communications easier, and the country more productive, to extent) its rapacity of beating a further increase of inhabitants. It has been told us that a plan of this precise character had been pre pared by a County Member of experience and ability, the late Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, whose knowledee of the country, and' personal interest in its welfare afro: tied him rectniar facilities for the task. If, as is possible, the policy to be pursued by Ministers in this respect has far its ground-work the propositions which we have heard attri buted to that Right Hon. Gentleman, it appears to us that their adoption cannot fail to produce great practical benefit. Still something remains unaccomplished with regard to Irish wants. A favourite measure with us has always been the establishment by law of a comfortable provision for the Catholic Bishops and clergy. The dissenting clergy throughout Ireland were once upon a time (with all defe rence be it spoken) a factious and turbulent set of men. Since Government, some thirty years ago, gave them an annual provision (a very small one moreover), the clergy of the Established Church itself have net exceeded them in peacealmle and loyal conduct; while, we understand, it is admitted on all hands that the influence and consideration which they enjoy with their flocks have in no degree di minished. It might have appeared ungracious at the pe riod when the Relief Bill was carried, to dwell much upon the specific imperf ctions of a measure, which, never tireless, realized so much of positive good. But no man conversant with Ireland could hive regarded the absence of all conciliatory or politic regulation for the pri-sthood, otherwise than as a defect, and one of a serious nature in the Bill, although it would be unfair to deny that any attempt at the moment to make the measure more com prehensive by inserting such a clause, might have com promised, if not wholly defeated it. What, however. has been the consequence of overlooking the Catholic Clergy of Ireland? It is, that they have been left at the mercy of O'Connell and his gang,—that they are absolutely dependent on the mob —or, in other words, on those who lead the mob—for support, and that if they resist the efforts of the agit dors to excite the people, or even forbear to lend them their support, they may lose their only means of existence. Hence, heisg outcasts from the state, they are bid for successfully by those whose aim is to disturb it. Hence it is that they listen to the overtures and whisperings of a bad ambition. Hence, if not many have the will, yet fewer have the boldness to face ally project, however wild or scandalous, for tivetting the foul yoke of the disaffected leaders upon the necks of the poor. ry few of the Cal o:lie Bishops had nerve enough to refuse their places of worship as custom-houses for the collection of the O'Connell tribute, and those who did will suffer for it severely, we donor, if they be not secured by Parliament. It is to he lopsd that the session will not pass away without some step of this kind being taken wito the countenance of his Majesty's Governacent. The proceeding adopted by Lend Althomp in the Henae of Com mons corresponded with that of Lord Grey ; tot his Lordship stated the intentions of Government with some what greater fullness. He said that his noble friend, Lord John Russell, Paymaste r of the Forces, was authorized by the unonimous approbation of his Majesty's Ministers, to bring forward the messere of Reform on the Ist of March. The Government had selected the noble Lord for that task, in consequnce of the ability and per severance which he had displayed in time curse of Re form in the days when it was unpopular. His Noble Friend had roe osed various partial measures of Reform when even partial measures woo looked upon with disfa your. Now, therefore, when tie cause was prosperous, the Government thought that, on accenat of his persever ance and ability, the Ne bfe Lord should be the person se lected to bring forward a measure of full amal efficient Re form, instead of the partial measures which he had hitherto proposed." These, we anticipate, will be glad felines for the country—" a measure of full and efficient Reform ;" rod this front the lips of a plain-spoken, honest man, like lord Althorp. It is, see Nay, a most satisfactory declara tion. The Civil List comes on in the House of Commons this day. Undoubtedly the Government has not been but there are persons (Lord Wicklow) in the House Lords who deem it decent to taunt then with their activity : some people are hard to be pleased ! Times. The great question of Polish independence approaches a decision. The Emperor hash issued, on- the 17th of December, a proclamation, calling upon the Poles to de . sent their rebellious standards,' and to submit to his will, tan a promise that only the leaders of the insurrection should be visited with the ii;ours of his justice. The Poles, through their Provisi,,nal Government, replied to this summons by a manifesto, showing the extent of tl.eir grievances, and justifying their resolutions of resistance. The parties thus joined issue on the matter in dispute, and appealed to the sword for its award. In the mean time, preparations for the contest were continued on both sides with vigour. The Emperor placed his invading army u uler the command of the conqueror of Turkey, and the Poles relied upon their Dictator Ch!opielei, who has just resigned. This last sign of vacillation on the part of the Poles may have induced General Diebitsch to begin ope rations sooner than was at first intended, and he has ac cordingly issued two proclamations, one addressed to the Poles, and another to the Polish army, which almost appear trarocripts of that which he addressed to the Bulgarians an passing the Balkan. The General has been taught in a good school lie has learnt to mix the cant of clemency and magnanimity with menaces of vengeance and exter mination. These who dared to think of restoring the rights of their country are called criminal agitators, rebels, end traitors, who are to suffer the penalty of treason : those who have joined them are called their accomplices in a lamentable crime, or unfortunate persons who may be c ou sn üb ry t pardoned by invoking the Imper ial c l emeney. Tli is to he protected ag ainst militar y p illa g e if it quietly w its. and the Poles will only have to pay for teeir ow n re-conquest by a confiscation of their treasury, on which they are to receive securities for what is taken from them as individuals. The inhabitants of towns and villages are required to lay down their arms on the approach of the enemy agiinst whom they had taken them up, and w ho use theta in sell-defence are to he shot, by the tios s-ntence ie of a court-martial, if they escape the dangers of the field. All indep endent authority is to be overthrown. flog of Poles must beg f or clemenc y under the white nf truce, and the owners of lands and houses must forfeit their property, if they do not immediately ex pose both their lives and their property, by disobeying their existing Provisional Government. Such arc the rigorous conditions. on which the Poles, whose insurrection was hailed with such hope tnd applause in all the free States of Europe, m purchase peace and oblivion under the degra ding yoke of their former masters. From these proclama tions it is evident in the fiat place, that the Lithuanians have not joined their brethren of the kingdom of Poland. Consequently the Russians now can speak a different language 'to the latter, than they would have dared to nttor had they received such support. In th't Ss..cond pint., it may be kill red, that if any 'remonstrant: s have been made to Russia by Fralace, or the Allied Powers, on the breaches of the treaties which erected the kingdom of Po• land old guarantei d its privileges, these remonstrance: have hen treated with neglect or defiance. To the third place, it is manifest from the language of the Russian General, that the Autocrat wishes the late insurrection in Pols.nd 11) be considered a matter of trifling moments, mut to be put down like the revolt of a few vii! des in Kamsehatka, or the borders of Siberia. Hence he threatens the inhabitants of towns with a. levy of extraordinary contributions as a pet.tety for their obsti nacy, and the Pdish soldi es t .`i. - en in arms with courts mat dal. But if ryl'u.le towns were to hold nut a siege against tl . unps,—if whole arroi s were to oppose him, it: the ficl.l,—this insolent tone would soon be lowered. Such menaces, indeed, could not be executed ; for an army cannot now be decimated in cold blood, u.tis a city subj,eted to military execution, without eleiting such an abhorrence among the nations of Hurope, as would hying overwhelm.• ing asslstemte it) the oppressed, and inflict fiery vengeance nit tht bppress.x, Times. The ful owing important paragraph a i 3peared in Aria's Birmingham Gazette of Monday last : " The anpiyerte4 of the formation of the Political Union, we underltand, was celebrated on Tuesday, by dinners at various taWerls . and public-houses. At the Globe about sixty members timed, Mr: Thomas Attwood presiding, and Mr. Muntz and Mr. B. Hadley officiating as Vice-Chairmen. In the course of his remarks from the chair, Mr. Attwood Is stated to have said, that the Union had now registered in their books about nine thousand members, paying from four shillings to tWo guineas per annum ; and that, Considering the influence which these nine thousand Men exercised over the whole population of the town, tiontainiog 111,00 souls, slid the nearly equal influence which they exercised over tht inhabitants of the populous manufactur ing towns and districts around them, containing also from 2 to 300,000 inhati , ints more, the importance of the Union, con sidered in this light, as influencing a dense population of 400,000 moVils, was far too great to be disregarded. The Union (he added) had condensed the moral power of this great population, and gathered it, as it were, into an electrical mass, which was powerful to every good purpose, and utterly impotent to every bad one. Suppose, for instance, their good King should meet with difficulties in his path froin the pertinacity of the Oli garchy, suppose they should refuse to obey the laws, and should makefiglit upon the occasion ; why, the very moment the King Comtnanded them, they would produce a National Guard that. Would be like a wall of lire around his throne.—(Cheers.) It was not too much to say, that if the King required it, they could produce him, in this district, at his orders within a month, two armies, each e' them as numerous and as brave as that which conquered at Waterloo.' " This offer of 400,000 men by Mr. Attwood, to fight the oligarchy, is one of the signs of the times not to be neg lected. In a mouth's time, he says, lie can furnish two armies in the Birmingham district, each as numerous and brave as that which conquered at Waterloo ! The Oli garchy may be said to have bad their day. The Aristo cracy are its general paor ; and in England poverty is never respectable, either in the high or low burn. With out Parliamentary Reform, the machinery necessary to move the political system requires a power which they cannot long supply. Mr. Attwood and his Birmingham heroes wiil have all the merit of their offer without any hazard. The Oligarchy are without support in the country. They have hitherto been enabled to continue their usurpa tion by the vis-inertia of the mid,l:e classes. When the latter have declared themselves the former must submit. —Morning Chr2nicle.

Lord FARNHAM moved fur certain returns relating , to the growth of tohacco in Ireland.—Ordered. • The ' Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in presenting peti tions praying for Parliamentary Reform, from Greenock, Crompton, Doncaster, Witham, and several other places, took occasion to express his satisfaction that a plan of Reform had been now agreed upon with the unanimous approbation of all his Majesty's Ministers, a plan which he had no doubt would give very general satisfaction, and would be of lasting duration. That plan, which would shortly he presented to the otl:er House, had had his most hearty concurrence ; and when the subject came before their Lordships, he should state to the House the rea , on on .which he grounded. his assent to that measure.--(llear.) 'he House adjourned at Ten minutes refute Six o'clock till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair precisely at Three o'clock, when several new Members took the oaths and their seats. Several private BiPa were brought in and read a first time. Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition from the Cham her of Commerce at Waterford, pr;:ying for a repeal of the duty on sca , bnrbe Coals. The Right Honourable Mber then presented another petition from the same p'ace, signed by 400 persons who were present at a Meet ing convened by the Mayor, for the ptirpoSe of petitioning for a Reform in Parliardent and vote by ballot. He (Sir J. Newport) fully concurred in the propriety of Re fort ; he had been of that opinion from the first day he ok his seat in the House, and every succeeding day had confirm , d his opinion of the absolute necessity of the measure; for, be would say, unless it were carried, the country could not expect to derive any real benefit: With respect to the vote by ballot, he would not say that he was decidedly opp,sed to it, but he must confess that Itt , had not madenp his mind as to its propriety. Mr. LITTLETON proented a petition from Wall. dl, Staffordshire, prAying for reduction of taxation generally, but more particularly for the reduction of the duty nn bet'ispaper :vamps, and also for an extensive plan of Reform and retrenchment. The Hon.

FERGUSON presented petitions from Forfar and five other places in Scotland, praying for Parliamentary Reform Mr. DENISON presented a petition from Goda!ming, in favour of Reform. The Honourable Member said as this was the first petition which be had had the honour to present from the county he represented, he hoped he should be excused in stating that be had for many years been an advocate for Reform. He had long been pledged to th .t measure, and rejo!ced that the coun try had now a Ministry honest and bold enough to bring it forward. They should have his hearty support. He was not an advocate for annual Parliaments or universal suffrage; but he wished for smell a Reform as would tend to the benefit of all. Mr. BRISCOE supportatl the petition. Mr. DENISON presented a petition from the farmers in the vicinity of Reigate, praying for a repeal of the Malt Tax, and a commutation of tithes. Mr. JAMES LOCII in presenting petitions from the county of Ross and two (Alter places in favour of .Reform said, us he concurred so entirely with the prayer of the petitions, be would merely move that the petitions be brought up. After a few words from Mr. HOME in support of the petition, they were ordered to be printed. S:r C. HASTINGS presented a petition from Loughbo rough, praying for a repeal of the Malt Tax and the Corn Laws, abatement of taxation, Reform in Parliament. and vote by ballot. The Hon.

Mr. KENNEDY presented several similar petitions from various boroughs in Scotland. GENERAL FAST. Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from a place in Lincolmhire, praying that the House would be pleased to implore his Majesty that he would graciously direct a day t he set apart for a General Fast, on account of the dis t eased state of the country.—(Great laughter.) Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a similar petition from a place in Yorkshire.—(A laugh.) Mr. PIIILLPOTTS presented a petition from Glou cester, praying for a reduction of taxation, and an abate. men t of expenditure. On the presentation of a petition from Mr. Alderman WrxcnEsrxn, the purport of which we cou'd not hear in the gallery, Mr. CRESSET PELHAM would take that opporto tunity of asking the Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir T. Ack land) whether he had any intention of postponing his mo tion respecting a repeal of the duty on coals. Sir T. ACKLAND was understood to reply that he would not consent to a postponement beyond the Bth of March. Air. P. GURNEY presented a petition from Norwich, praying for a repeal of the Assessed Taxes Alderman WAITHMAN had intended to bring the subject under the consideration of the House, but trusted the present Government would be so convinced of the nece , sity of the reduction as to save him the trouble of a motion. The Worthy Alderman then presented a petition &Am the Ward of Farringdon Without, praying for Reform, in doing which, lie said, whatever opi nion might have been entertained by some of the inhabitants, he believed they were now one and all con vinced of the necessity of Reform. He himself was favourable to election by ballot. Mr. HUNT, as a Liveryman of London, wished to address a few words to the House on the subject of this petition. He was glad to hear that the Worthy Alderman hail at length become a convert, and was willing to support election_ by ballot. If that system had been adopted in his own ward, he would at the present time have had different a ss,ciates.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. Hunt) was happy to find that the ballot was getting into fashion.—(Lend cries of, " No, no," fmu all parts of the House.) He would repeat that ballot was becoming fishionable.—(Continued cries of No, no.) He was decidedly of opinion that if the views of the inha bitants of London, Westminster and Southwark were col lected, it would be found that ninety-nine out of every hundred were in favour of vote by ballot. Mr. HUME presented a petition from St. James's, Clarkenwell, praying for Reform and vote by brilot, and others to a similar r7frect from Perth and several parishes in Scotland.

PARLIAMENTARY OATH BILL: On Mr. C. WYNNE's motion for the noise to go into Committee on the Parliamentary Oath Bill ; the dis cussion was proceeding when our Reporter left. A GOOD SHor.—On Monday last, Mr. SMITH, of Trengwainton, killed 26i- brace of snipes in 4i hours.— Western Luminary. THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—It has been justly remarked by more than one contemporary that, " There is a glow of new life breathed through the pages of this Magazine." Most of the articles in the present number, which possesses unusual variety, are wrought up with great skill. Among those of tie., light and gossip ping cast, there are the " Monthly Commentary," con sisting of piquant remarks on the most prominent topics of the month ;---" My Sinecure Place," a humorous piece in verse, by Mr. HAYNES BAYLEY; a discursive and spackling paper call , :d " After Dinner Chat," by Mr. POOLE; and one or two others. Of a graver species of interest, are the clear and forcible remarks on the prin ciple of Ballot-voting ; the continuation of the popular series of Sketches, entitled " Speakers and Speeches in Parliament," which delineates, in its third number, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. WYNN, Mr. POWLETT THOMPiON, Mr. GRANT, anti Sir INIOS• DENMA N ;-another of the " Sketches of the English Bar," describing Sir EDWARD SUDDEN a discussion of the Principles of Property, and the Poor Laws, by Mr. GALT ; a bold and spirited examination of Mr. Moone's conduct as ti:e Thographer of Lord Braosr, &c. The Portrait selected for the present month has the recom mendation of a beautiful subject, the Hon. Mrs. NoaTosr, of whom a very interesting memoir is also given. FAMILY MATTERS.—SeveraI years ago the papers teemed with accounts of dreadful street roAeries. " Why, how is this, TGWVSEND ?" said a nobleman ; " what is the reason of all these street robberies that we hear so much about ?" " Family matters !" my Lord," replied Toy/maxis. " Family matters !" returned his Lordship, " what do you mean by that?" " Why, my Lord, when a family man has gone astray, and thrown away his money upon a loose fish, he must make up some story for the good woman at home ; and so he tent her a terrible tale about being knocked down and ro!,bed;:that's all —mere family matters." MOST DISTRESSING EVENT. (Prom the Dumfries Courier.) Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Craigie to his brother, detailing the circumstances of the death of Lieut. Bryce WMurdo, of the Company's Horse Artillery, killed by a tiger near Janlnah, Presidency of Madras:--- " I have now to relate one of the roost tragic tales you have perhaps ever beard or read of. You must know that the neighbouring country is much infested with tigers, which are very destrUctive to the 'c sale of the poor vil lagers, who alwayl ITing in inn.' igenee of them, with ers• treaties that the gentlemen will go out and L ill them: Now, though this species of Spot t on foot halal Ways been, and ustly, contidered extremely beZardoue, it has been a com mon practiee here for some time. On Saturday last three of us started in quest of a Royal tiger, which had that morning killed a bullock near a village eight or nine miles from Jaulnah. The party consisted of Lieut. Brett, 31st regiment, myself, arid the unfortunate subject of the follow ing most melancholy talc, poor young Bryce 111•11In . rdo, of our leeee artillery, a son or the late Ctiloriel A. of Dunifriesethiie, and nephew of Colonel Bryce M`lllurdo. On reaching the village, we were told by the bead man that three tigers had been seen in a valley two miles beyond, and that his people were watching them from the neighbouring hi.ls. Delighted with the prospect of such glorious sport, we proceeded to the scene of action in high spirits. On reaching the place, the spot where they last had been seen was pointed out to us, and with hearts heat ing high with anxiety we apinoached. We immediately found two of the monsters, but they did not wait our at. tack ; one, however, was wounded by poor 1114111tudo as it went off—we pursued it, and after hunting about for some time, it was at length founi and killed. We im mediately went in search of t'm other, which haul been seen to creep into a clump of bushes by the villagers on the height. After beating round the hushes once or twice, it sprung out with a hideous roar; pear IlleMurdo fired, but without effect. We, however, saw it enter another clump of hushes two or three hundred yards distant, and followed it up without del:sy. We found that the clump ran along a small ravine, three or four feet deep, for about 20 or 30 yards. We stood close to the hushes for some minutes, while my friend re-loaded his gun. OLserving some fresh foot prints in the ravine, I reit - inked that I thought the tiger had gone down. I descended to examine them more minutely, Brett at the same time moving round the bushes. I was iu the act of stooping to look at the prints, .when I heard a tremendous roar close to me, and starting up, I saw poor M`Mutelo in the j we of the monster ! I was so near that I cou!si have touched him with the muzzled my gun. I instantly discharged both barrels, each of which, es I afterwards found, inflicted a mortal wound; the brute, however, slid not relinquish its hold, but rolled, with our unfit tunate friend, into the ravine where I was standing, and I was obliged to spring up the opposite bank. Brett, attracted by my shots, rushed to the spot, and fired, but still the monster held. The heir id ssene baffles all des cription, and will haunt me to my dying day. We hurled down large stones, and at last the tiger walked a few yards and lay down. My servant, who behaved remarkably well, joined me by this time with powder and ball, and I stepped behind a bush to load. While doing so I heard poor M'Murdo express his fear that the monster would re turn. Almost frantic I rushed forward, and saw the hideous brute raised on her legs, with her dreadful eyes glaring upon hies again, and only about three yards off. A shot from my grin brought it on its aide, and one or two more put an end to it. We found t'•e unhappy young fellow much torn, especially about the limbs; his left thigh and leg were dreadfully crushed. Brett galloped off for medical aid, which, however, alas ! arrived too late, our unfortunate companion having expired in my arms about half an hour before. He lived, as far as I could judge, about two hours, (for I had no watch) ; he spoke to me as coolly and calmly as if nothing had happened, and said he feared amputation would be necessary, but did not appear to apprehend a fatal termination to the accident. I despaired at first, but seeing his composure, began to hope, and was inexpressibly shocked when he expired—to all appearance without pain. I thought he had fainted, as the effusion of blood, before I bandaged the wounds, was very great. I have been in many trying scenes, but any thing equal to what I have attempted to relate falls to the lot of few men to witness. I have little room to speak of the poor young man's noble qualities. He was a most promising officer, and it may be said of hint, that he lied never known fear. He was, in truth, as bold in spirit, as he was generous in disposition. This mournful story roust close toy letter." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .7PIARYLEB ONE. AN IRISHMAN'S DEFINITION OF JUSTICE.-Yesterday one of the Anti-Unionists enveloped in several invelope ments of his native frieze, and, ust sober enough to be able to walk without deviating a great deal from a straight line, presented himself before Mr. GRIFFITH, roaring out with the voice of a stentor, " Justice, your Honour, justice !" The night charges had been disposed of for some time, and the worthy Magistrate, not perceiving the approach of the applicant, was reading one of the Morn ing Papers, suddenly raising his head, and looking at the grey-clad Anti-Unionist, he demamled what he had to com plain of. " Tin hits in the eye, and one—that's eleven," hic cuped the applicant, counting them on the tops of his angers—" at quitting the house." Who Etl uck you, asked the Magistrate ?—" A gentle- man licensed victualler," vociferaVd the Irishman, in voice louder, if possible, than that in which he had Sist addressed the Alagistrate. " I'm not deaf," said Mr. GRIFFITH ;" I can itear you in a much lower key. " A gentleman licensed victualler," repeated the appli cant, in a whisper scarcely audible to the officer who stood beside him. • . . Did you give him no provocation," demanded Mr. GRIFFITH ?—" Provykashun !" ejaculated the boy,' " now if that a'nt a dro!1 question—provoke a min to gi' me tin hits in the eye, an' one at quittin' the house! By the piper that played afore l‘loses, I kept my bands all the time in my coat pocket., becays, ye see, I knew where I was, and would'nt brake the laws by no means—that is, withoat your Honom's lave." Mr. GRIFFITH-You did very right; yin may have a wart ant. " A warrant !" exclaitncd the applicant, " a warrant ; tl,e warrant." . . ..._....._ " What do you want then," demanded Mr. GRIFFITH ? —" Jusht lave to give him one hit, honey," replied the Irishman, in the sweetest coaxing accents imaginable. " Oh, no," said Mr. GRIFFITH, " it is not in my power to grant you permission to break the law ; you asked for justice, and shall have it legally. If you take a warrant and prove the assault, he shall be punished ?" " If I prove th' assault," demanded the applicant, " will your honour then gi' me lave to hit him." " Certainly not," responded the Magistrate, " we'll find another mode of punishing him."—" An' that's what ye call justice," ejaculated the applicant. After a pause, " Well may be it is the sort of justice ye have here," he hiccuped in utter disappointment, " but 't ant the sort of justice we have in ould Ireland." Mr. GRIFFITII.--I'lll sorry I can't satisfy you, but a warrant is all I can give you. The applicant looked blank at this information, but his countenance suddenly brightened up with the recollection of a means of attain ing the object he had in vicar flashing across his mind. So jumping out of the witness box, at the imminent hazard of losing Vs perpendicular, he exclaimed, "I'll have justice in a few days—Dan is comin' to town, an' Dan's the boy that knows what justice is. Bell gi' me lave to have a hit at him. Tin hits in th' eye, and one— that's eleven, at quittin' th' house, an' no justice 1 But Dan's the boy—hurra! Dan for ever !" and " Dan for ever !" was heard dying away in the distance, as the lover of justice hurried hurried away from the office. Q UE.EN- S QUA RE. A punchy little man, who gave his name Henry Hem mington, was brought up front the station-house, before Mr. WRITE, charged with attempting to bilk William Bryant, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 62Q, out of his legal fare. It appeared, from the coachman's statement, that be• tween twelve and one o'clock in the morning he was hired by the defendant, in the Borough, to drive him to Staf ford-place. When he gat there he had forgot the number of the house, and asked the defendant for the necessary in formation, and he then got a police constable on duty to look out for the number of the house. When be got to the door, he found the defendant had bolted, and the con stable ran after him, and took him into custody. His fare, by time, was 6s , and the defendant, wl.o was very drunk, bad only got a shilling in his pocket to pay him. Mr. WHITS—WeII, Mr. Hetamingtan, what have you to say to the charge?_" Why, your Worship , " a nswered the defendant, " I wishes to ask this coachm an whether he is not just as drunk now as I was last night?" " Sir," replied coachee, holding fast by the b ar to pre serve his equilibrium, " I am addrssting my self to this here german, and I shall not answer them 'erequestions. You knows as how you got out of the internal part of my caach, and bolted away in the most unmanliest manner u'ot was ever seen." " Out of what part of your coach ?" inquired the Ma gistrate.—" The internal part, your Worship," replied coachee (hiccuping), " which is wot we used to call the [i ns id e , hut we vow call.; it the ink/net/part, as the most properest. word,• seeing as it is the most genteelest." " Your Worship," said the defendant, " I own I alias quite intosticated, and recollect but little about the warier, but when the coachman demanded 65., I thote 4 htit .4as too much, and said 1 would sooner go to the station-hoinr•• than pay him. He was as drunk as I was." " Oh, shameful, shameful!" replied coachee, rallying himself, " to call :ne drunk afer hotting out of the int rind put:o my coach in such a gentlemanlike vay." Mr. WHITE asked the police constable in what conditioN the coachman and his fate were?--" They were both i. for it," replied the chin:table. Mr. \\rime ordered the defendant to pay the fare. The Coachman now commenced a speech to express h's thanks, clipping the King's English most unmercifully, Mr. WHITE—I advise you to boll your tongue, or I •ball certainly fine you ss. for being drunk.—" Beg var . (Ion," said the colchnian. taking the hint—" I feel mach obliged to you for all favours," and then instantly made his exit. - - - • ANION-HALL. Mary 4nn Deane, the wife of Mr. D. ane, landlord of the Valentine and Orson, in Long-lane, Bermombey, brought up for re-examinatitii on the charge of bigamy. Inspector Bullock said, that none of the p lilies had come forward. Ile added that Mr. Deane had not called at the station-house for advice, or made any inquiries dna, since Monday, as to the manner he should proceed to obtain the necessary witnesses to prove the case; there fore, it was probable his intention was to abandon the prosecution altogether against his wife. Mr. HONE was rather surprised at this intimation, par ticular!), after the exhibition that had taken place there on the day the charge was preferred, and ordered the pri soner to be discharged. On quitting the office, she proceeded to a house in the neighbourhood, where Mr. Deane was anxiott,ly waiting for her. The moment she entered the apartment, he em braced her with all the love and tenderness of a devoted husband, and expressing the utmost joy and happiness that she was restored to him anti her family. David Ryall, the second husband, was not in the way during this interesting scene, and from the attachineLt evinced between that in dividual and Mrs. Deane, it is probable that her legal hus band will yet experience more unhappiness, in conse quence of his not having followed up the prosecution. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Tuesday, Feb. I.) PARIS, JAN.. 31.—1 n our numbers of the 16th and 19th of January, we published the decrees issued by the Governor of Martinique and Guadaloupe, in conformity with the orders of the Minister of 111triue, to abrogate the loci! acts enacting various probihiticn, with regard to the people of colour. Similar regulations have been adopted by the Governor of French Guiana, in a decree of the26th of November, 1830. A letter from Sedan, of January 25, gives the following details : " Since General Montfort of the Engineers passed through this town, above 500 workmen have been rm plo►cd in fortifying it, and putting it in a respectable state of defence. The season has not interrupted the works for a moment, nor does it binder the arming of the place and Citadel, which will scon be complete. M. Delavigne, who directs all these works, has just been appointed Lieutenant- Colonel of Engineers. " We have in garrison the 9th Regiment of Dragoons, 700 strong, and ►the 35th of the Line, which has just funned its 4th battalion. The recruits for these two regiments are exercised twice a day, and, being full of ardour and zeal, they rapidly improve." (From the Messager des Chambres, Wednesday, Feb. 2. ) Wzsszmuasii, JAN. 27.--The Bava►ian General Braun, Commandant of the fortress of Landau, five leagues from this tows, has just sent word to one of his friends, that the town of Landau would be given up to-day to the Austrian troops and those of the German Confederation. (From a letter published by the Augsburgh Gazette.) TRIEStE, JAN. 18.—Letters from Constantinople of the 12th of December, announce that the Ottoman Porte is making considerable armaments both by sea and land. All the ships of the line at the arsenal are to be got ready for sea as soon as possible. New levies have already begun to be raised, and the troops are frequently exercised Though it is affirmed that these extraordinary preparations are in tended for an expedition, said by some to be fbr Patras, by others for Candice, it is sul,ected that the Porte may very prob sbly have an intention of deriving advantage from the affairs s f Poland, if they should take a tura un favourable to Russia. (From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.) PARIS, JAN. SO.—A remarkable fact is, that the Journal des Debuts is now quite warlike. I.et us see what there is at the bottom of this boasting. It is said that war is intended : it will not be made, for it cannot be made, except on account of Belgium; and there is no solution of the Belgic question which can lead France to war without alienating England. War might ensue either in consequence of the union of Belgium with France, or of the acceptance of the crown by the Duke of Nemours. In these two cases England would separate itself from France, the English Ministry would be overthrown, the war against the French revolution would be popular in England, Sir R• Peel would be Prime Minister, and Wel lington Generalissirno of the armies of Europe. General Diebit ch would be on the Rhine in April, and, as M. Se hastiani said, the gauntlet would he thrown down to Eu rope, and France would have to recommence, not, ac cording to the expression of the Minister, the campaigns of Buonaparte, but the campaigns of 1813, under Buona pal te. It is evident you will do nothing that will alienate England from you. If you could have England and Austria for auxiliaries, against Russia and Prussia, you would stand the chances ()fa war, but England and Russia against you, the Don Quixotism with which you reproached M. de Lafayette must have paged over to the side of the resistance. And yet you are putting on foot all the active force of France, you are going to sell the forests of the Clergy and those of the State. You increase the debt, add to the taxes, pre pare doubtless for loans to meet the vast expenditure—you make your conscripts exercise by candle-light, and sus pend over commerce and manufactures the fear of war, like the sword of Detnocles. France must be told how to reconcile all this military display with your firm resolution not to make use of it. --- All this armed force is destined not against invasion, but against tie movement, which you now call anarchy. Thus the Debats says that all these armaments are di rected against anarchy—to arrest the movement—that is to say, the development of the principle of the sovereignty of the people, for which no sacrifice will seem too dear fir France, which remembers 1793. This calculation will be acted upon till France inquires whether this principle is woi th what it costs.
