SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We learn from good authority, that there is not a word of truth in the circular communication to all the morning papers of yesterday, of an anonymous letter to Mr. Hall, partner of Mr. Cooper, of the date of Oct. 12, signed " A True Reformer," having been laid be fore the Privy Council. Of course the addition, " that it created a considerable sensation in the Council," and " that this letter was considered by their Lordships of that importance, that they determined that further in quiry was indispensable," is utterly without foundation. The writer of the circular communication above alluded to also details a conversation which he had with Mr. Cooper, in the course of which that individual, among other things, stated to him that " he arrived in town in sufficient time to attend to business on Saturday morning, and the first thing in which he was engaged was re ceiving orders, and taking the measure of some iron railing, for the new 'Westminster Hospital, opposite the Abbey. He then met with Mr. Barham, the archi tect, and the course of conversation naturally led to the circumstances attending the destruction of the Houses of Parliament. He mentioned to that gen tleman, in an incidental manner, the fact of the con versation at Dudley, as he had done to several other individuals ; and at half-past twelve o'clock on Mon day, to his utter astonishment, he received a summons to attend before the Privy Council." There seems to be some fatality about Mr. Cooper's account, for in this case there is either misconception on the part of the reporter, or mis-statement on the part of his informant. We have the best authority for stating, that so far from having been taken by surprise by receiving a summons at half -past twelve o'clock on Monday to attend before the Privy Council, Mr. Cooper was actually excused, between eight and nine o'clock on the Monday morning in question, from at tendance at the Old Bailey, as Foreman of the Petty Jury, on account of his wish to communicate evidence respecting the fire ; that he went from the Old Bailey with a note to the Lord Chancellor ; and that he must have seen the Lord Chancellor that forenoon by half past ten o'clock. If he was not under a delusion with respect to this, the reporter must have caught theliability to delusion fromhim. We cannot conclude without cau tioning the public against placing any reliance on the stories respecting the origin of this fire, which there seems a disposition in some quarters to propagate. We have seen a circular statement to the morning papers of other evidence, said to have been given by Cooper before the Privy Council on Wednesday, in which the most atrocious imputations are thrown out against a gentleman of the highest respectability, utterly incapa ble of saying what is attributed to him. Whether Mr. Cooper gave any such evidence to the Privy Council or not we cannot say ; but of this we are cer tain, that the eminent architect alluded to never could have afforded any grounds for it. It would almost seem as if an experiment were now making to ascertain the extent of the public credulity. We had imagined that the days for a Sir Edmondbury Godfrey and Dr. Titus Oates were gone by.—Morning Chronicle. Our contemporary (the Times) must be driven to hard shifts for abuse of the Lord Chancellor, when it makes the account furnished by Mr. Cooper of his own evidence before the Privy Council to the writer of the circular communication to the morning papers, the .subject of an attack on his Lordship. That Mr. Cooper's statements, no matter from what cause, are not always to be implicitly relied on, is proved by the singular delusion under which he labours with respect to what took place at Dudley. It required no great stretch of candour, under such circumstances, to have supposed that what might appear incomprehensible in the cross-examination of Mr. Cooper was attributable to him rather than to Lord Brougham, who could not have attained to the professional eminence he .Anioyed, if he were such a tyro in cross-examining as the mak . Even from the very imperfect account given, Chancellor was following a practice neither uncommon nor injudicious, when he asked whether the man who communicated the account of the fire to Mr. Cooper was black or white ; and " Mr. Cooper (quoth our Acontemporary) seems to have been dumb-founded by this extraordinary inquiry ; and indeed, the learned examiner does not give us any insight into his parti cular object, though no doubt he had in his mind some philosophical connection between colour and confla gration—between flame-coloured taffeta,' and blazing buildings." This is intended for wit, no doubt. The .object of the questions is obvious enough. Witnesses are often led by mention of such circumstances as co lour, shape, age, &c., to the recollection of individuals, and the Chancellor might have wished to discover whether any person answering the description of Mr. Cooper's informant actually told the news to him on Friday morning. But be this as it may, the . public will see in this fact evidence of the fixed determination to put the worst construction on everything said or done by the Chancellor.—Morning Chronicle. We learn from Ireland that Mr. Otway Cave has lately l s : ) ,,en a sufferer from some most outrageous pro ceedings. That gentleman has resided for some time on his estate of Castle Otway, near Nenagh, in the county of Tipperary; Fire wasset to his house by a gang of ruffians ; and if i t had not been for the great zeal of his neighbours, the inj7v would have been greater than it actually was. Oneliee,- however, has been lost by it, and another is likely to be .)st• The people of the neighbourhood exposed themse:7s to every danger in their eagerness to stop the confla gration, and displayed a presence of mind, and a scrupulous regard for property, which cannot be too highly praised. They succeeded in conveying all the property out of the house with very little damage, and it was re-conveyed by them without loss. It is understood that a fair which was lately established near the residence of Mr. Otway Cave, has given offence in some quarter, and Mr. Otway Cave was, when we received our information, actually pre paring to set out for Dublin with a view to endeavour to obtain justice. He conceives that he has obtained sufficient evidence to ;;ring home the perpetration of this outrage to one of ti local magistracy, whose emissaries were the actors. The 01 , ,ject . is supposed to have been to drive Mr. 0. Cave out of ,`.',2e country ; in which, however, they have signally failed, the warm-hearted zeal of the people has only served to strengthen his wish to remain among them. Many fe males, under such circumstances as a conflagra tion, by a savage and infuriated party, would have taken the alarm ; but we understand that Mrs. Ot way Cave says, that after what she saw of the people about them, she should never feel herself so safe in any other neighbourhood. Mr. Otway Cave is himself determined to try whether it is possible to obtain justice in Ireland, in a case in which the local Magistracy are implicated. We trust that the Go vernment will see the necessity of acting With vigour on such an occasion as this. The Magistrate or Ma gistrates concerned, directly or indirectly, in such an atrocious outrage, or in endeavours to screen the guilty authors of it, ought not to be suffered to disgrace the Commission. From what we know of Mr. Otway Cave, we are satisfied that it will not be his fault if the affair be not proceeded with fearlessly. But justice is an affair only.known of by name in Ireland, and it will require an equally honest and fearless determination on the part of the Government to defeat the combination in the way of justice. The English public will look with anxiety to the issue of this affair. We confess we are not sorry that the Orange magistracy have had the audacity to provoke a gentleman of Mr. Otway Cave's known resolution. In the case of the wretched peasantry, to expect that justice could be obtained, in a case in which magistrates stick to each other, would be utterly hopeless. We have no doubt, from what we have heard, that disclosures calculated to throw a valuable light on the nature of local justice in Ireland, may be confidently expected. If we expect the law to be held in reverence, they who administer it ought to be above suspicion.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Edward Ellice is about to quit the Govern ment ; not, his friends say, from any political disagree ment with his colleagues, but on account of a disagree able complaint in the trachea. It certainly is a very nnpleasant disorder, and may suffice to cover the Right -Honourable Gentleman's retreat. We think, how ever, he remained in the Cabinet the Chancellor would mike that, as the incendiaries have made the House c►! Lords, " too hot to hold him." It is a pity that Mr Ellice should have permitted the wine to drive out the wit at the tom-foolery dinner at Edinburgh, and to induce him to spout out his adhesion to Lord Durham. For if that had not happened we think his throat would not have been sore, and then he might perhaps have been made First Lord of the Admiralty, for which ex traordinary event it is said Lord Auckland was quite prepared. The Solicitor-Generalship is. yet unfilled. Several messengers have been sent all about England, and even to the continent of Europe, in order to pick up somebody to undertake it. One of them (an in telligent courier we believe) has written home from Italy that he has discovered at an inn, somewhere in that classical country, an English barrister of the name of Coltman—we are not aware whether we are quite correct in the orthography--who says he knows law and will accept the office, and accordingly he is, we hear, to be the man, and the Government are waiting his arrival. Mr. Rolfe, the gentleman they found out a week or two since, they have given up.—Morning Post. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. (Concluded from The Sun ofyesterday.) TIIE LOW STATE OF THE FINANCES OF THE CITY. The CHAIRMAN of the Finance Committee brought up the Report of the Committee on the state of the Chamber. The Report stated that the Chamberlain had laid be fore the Committee a statement of the actual receipts and expenditure of the City cash for the quarter ending the 10th inst., and of the probable receipts and expenditure for the preseut quarter ending the sth of January, together with a statement of the probable extraordinary demans for the same period. It appeared that notwithstanding there would probably be a surplus of 11,7501. of the ordinary in come beyond the ordinary expenditure of this Corporation for the present quarter, yet after reimbursement of the sum advanced by the Chamberlain on the 10th of October, and providing for the extraordinary demands of the present quarter ending on the sth of January, amounting to 5,9501. 45., 2,8291. 10s. sd. only would remain in hand at that pe riod to meet the demand for extraordinary claims in rela tion to the sums granted for the Corporate Schools, the erection of the Reform Almshouses, and the bills of other expenses not included in the above-mentioned sum of 5,9501. 4s. The Committee had also direc ted the Chamberlain to lay before them a statement of the debts for which the Corporation were non an swerable, the period when the same became payable, and of the assets applicable to the discharge of the same. From the statement of the Chamberlain it \ appeared that the sum of 34,0001. was payable in May and November in the next year, 25,0001. in 1837, and the remaining 51,000/. in 1838, or within seven years of that period, amounting in the whole to 110,000/. ; and that the only assets applicable to the liquidation of that sum was a capital of 89,1651.155.6 d., New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., which, if entered at par, left a deficiency of the means at present possessed by the Corporation of meeting their engagements of 20,831 Ll 4s. 6d. The Committee further stated, that though the ordinary income, for several years past, had been more than adequate to meet the general expenditure of the Corporation, yet as very considerable diminution was now occasioned by the sale and extinction of the package and scavage dues, and the deficiency, as compared with former years, of the sale of, and fees for, the admission of persons to the freedom of the city by redemption, which two causes of deficiency alone could not be estimated at a less amcunt than 8,964/. per annum. The Report concludes with calling upon the Court to give their most serious attention to the present situation of the finances, and their future prospects. INCREASE OF THE POWER OF THE COURT OF REQUESTS The Report of the Committee recommending an appli cation to Parliament to extend the jurisdiction of the Court of Requests as to the recovery of debts above 51., and that process should issue against the goods instead of the per sons of defendants, was agreed to. OFFICE OF CITY SOLICITOR. Mr. DIXON rose to present to the Court the petition of Robert Finch Newman, Esq., who appeared at the bar praying to be appointed to the vacant office of city Solicitor. Mr. JONES, Chairman of the Bridge House Committee, seconded the petition. The RECORDER put the question of Mr. Newman's ap pointment, which was carried unanimously, and the prayer of Mr. Trott's petition was rejected with equal unanimity. Mr. Newman having thanked the Court, resigned the and Comptroller of the Bridge House Estates, wrire" l " 4 -.44 so long filled.—Adjourned. BANKRUPTCY SIR GEORGE DUCKETT, MORLAND AND CO.'S, BANKRUPTCY The bankrupts in this case were bankers in Pall-mall, and a fiat of bankruptcy was awarded against them some time since. The meeting held to-day was called by some of the creditors under the separate estate of Sir George Duckett, in order to prevent their exclusion from receiving the dividends that have been declared, amounting to 20s. in the pound, as the residue of the separate property will shortly be passed into the general estate for the benefit of the creditors of the banking-house. The proofs to-day amounted to 8791. 6s. 2d. The amount to be passed from the private estate of Sir George Duckett to the general estate is considerable. The total claims against the private estate, and which have been directed to be paid in full, amount to about 37,0001. The private estate of Sir Francis Morland has paid 6s. 3d. in the pound, and that of Mr. Barnard 20s. in the pound. The dividends already declared on the general estate amount to 6s. 11d. in the pound, and a further dividend is expected to be announced in a few months. The general estate is expected to pay in the whole between Bs. and 9s. in the pound, unless the discovery of some papers among the effects of Sir G. Duckett should prove of importance. Among the old papers were found India Bonds or other securities of the value, it is expected, of between 20,0001. and 30,000/. ; and should the measures now in progress be successful, and the assignees recover the amount from the East India Company, a much larger dividend will be paid to the creditors of the joint estate. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, OCT. 30. Isaac Nathan, a boot and shoemaker, was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of Mr. Finlay, leather seller, residing in Houndsditch ; he was supported by Mr. COOKE. The circumstances were somewhat singular. The insol vent, a young man, had dealt some time with the opposing creditor, he now owed him 23/. He was not to be found after he had contracted the debt until the latter end of July. He was arrested on the morning of his marriage ; he gave bail ; the marriage was solemnized, he enjoyed the festivities, and then rendered to prison. He married a Mrs. Moreno, stay-maker, of St. Martin's-court, who was reputed to be a wealthy widow. She had given him 30/. for the bridal ceremony, and to make hitosell" respect able," he had 201. of her on the day of his arrest, which he had spent ; was likewise arrested on the same day for the support of a child. His wife it few days after the marriage, fled ; he had heard she had gone to Sydney, He expected - 1, 0 was rich, but she denied that she had any property. Th e :lvent said his father and brother, who had taken the benefit ot.;;L' Act, had sailed to Sydney. They were largely indebted to the ,?nl"ging creditor. He positively denied that he knew where his 74. fe was to Li? found. bira to four months' Mr. Commissioner BOWEN sentenceu. imprisonment under the 47th section. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS, OCT. 30. (Before B. ROTCH, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates.) THE KING V. THOMAS HENRY BISHOP, GEORGE WESTBROW, AND GEORGE TIDMARSH. In this case, which was an indictment against the de fendants for keeping a common gaming-house in St. James's st reet, Mr. CLARKSON, on the part of the prosecution, applied to the Court to order the defendants to enter into fresh re cognizances to appear and take their trial, they not having done so in pursuance of the recognizances they had formerly entered into. The COURT granted the application, and directed that the new recognisances should be in double the amount of the former ones. Shortly before the rising of the Court, Mr. PRENDERGAST, on the part of the defendants, re quested the Court would allow the recognizances already entered into by the defendants to be respited. The CHAIRMAN did not understand this mode of pro ceeding. He thought there was some attempt to impose upon the Court. If not, why was not the present applica tion made before Mr. Clarkson left the Court ? Mr. PRENDERGAST knew nothing of Mr. Clarkson's application before, having but that moment received his brief. The CHAIRMAN —The Court will allow the former re cognizances to b e discha rge d on f res h ones b e i ng entere d into ; until that is done the, must remain in force, and no tice of the fresh bail must be given. A great many assault cases were tried in the course of the day, none of which were of any public interest, but some of them afforded a melancholy p roo f o f th e rea di ness of persons who are called as witnesses in Courts of Jus tice to commit the dreadful crime of perjury, w ith ou t any apparent motive beyond that of obtaining a verdict in fa vour of the parties on whose behalf they attend. The Chairman has repeatedly remarked upon the extreme pre valence of this offence even in the most trumpery case of assault. The Court was adjourned to Thursday next at twelve o'clock, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. William Peer, the driver of the Paddington omnibus, No. 3,888, was brought to this office on a summons before Mr. LAING and Mr. ROGERS, charged by Sir Charles Forbes, Baronet, with having unlawfully interrupted and obstructed his free passage, and furiously driving, by which the lives and limbs of his Majesty's subjects were endangered. Sir Charles Forbes on Sunday morning last was pro ceeding to church in his carrirge along the New-road, when the defendant, who was driving his vehicle in opposition to another one, whipped his horses into a furious gallop for the purpose of getting. before the other to receive a passen ger, in doing which he crossed the horses of his (the Ba ronet's) carriage, which ran great - risk of being dashed to pieces. The other omnibus galloped by at the same time, and it was a miracle that the carriage was not overturned, and that fatal consequences did not ensue. Mr. LAING convicted the defendant in the penalty o 40s. and costs. Defendant (crying)—l hope you will mitigate it, your Worships. I have a wife and three children dependant on me for support. Mr. LiiNG—You ought to have thought of those and the wives and families whose lives you endangered before you committed the offence. Edwards, the officer, always knew the aefendant to be a respectable man and a steady driver. Sir Charles Forbes—l admit that the other driver was most to blame. The defendant sent me a letter begging my pardon, and acknowledging his offence, and making an appeal to my feelings on account of his family and circum stances. Ido confess that it would satisfy me if the penalty were mitigated, and the other driver brought to justice. Mr. LAING—Then under the circumstances I shall mi tigate the penalty to 20s. and costs, and have the driver of the other omnibus here. What is his name ? Defendant—Frederick Meredith. Mr. LAING then ordered that information should be taken by the clerk, and that a summons should be issued against Meredith to answer the complaint of Sir Charles Forbes, and he also bound over William Peer,, the above defendant, in his own recognizance to appear at the Office on Monday next to give evidence in the case, and expressed his determination to inflict the highest penalties on all fu ture cases of improper conduct on the part of drivers or conductors of omnibuses. Sir Charles then quitted the Office, with a determina. tion to attend on Monday to prosecute the case. . . Several other drivers of such vehicles were fined in the penalty of 20s. and costs for their infamous conduct. QUEEN- SQU ARE. It may be recollected that in August last one of the swell mob fraternity named Henry Rosonzan, alias Hicks, was apprehended at the doors of the Surrey Theatre for robbing a gentleman of his watch, for which offence he was taken Queen•square Police Office, and fully committed for trial. Dawkins, one of the officers of the establishment, was directed to take him in custody to Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and, having handcuffed him to another prisoner, he procured a cabriolet, and was conveying his pri soners to Horsemonger-lanc Gaol, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, when, near the Borough-road, the cab was stopped by about twenty of the swell mob, friends of the prisoner, who pulled him and the other prisoner out of the cabriolet, while the others fOicibly held_ Dawkins while they escaped, and then dispersed different ways. A large reward was offered for his apprehension ; but, although every endeavour was used to take him, it was attended with no success. Within the last few days information was re ceived that a man, named Henry Summers, was appre hended at the last Doncaster Races for attempting to pick pockets on the race course, and that the Magistrates had committed him for three months to Wakefield Gaol, as a rogue and vagabond ; and, from the description of the man, there was very strong suspicions that he was the identical Henry Rosoman alias Hicks, who had been rescued from the custody of Dawkins. ,Dawkins immediately went down to Wakefield, and arrived there on Monday last, and was immediately shown Henry Summers, when he instantly re cognized his lost prisoner. A detainer was lodged against him, and he will be brought to London when the term of his imprisonment expires, which will be about the middle of next December. George Johnson, another of the swell mob, is at presen in custody at Queen's-square for assisting in the rescue. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, shortly after Mr. HARDWICK had taken his seat on the bench, Mr. L. Miller, the Governor of the House of Correction at Ilford, in Essex, waited on him to request that he would send the principal constable, or if not, an active officer of the establishment to Barking, with a view of tracing out some diabolical incendiary, who had on the previous night set fire to three stacks of corn in the sL f Mr. Grey, a most respectable farmer residing on Lodge a , was totally consumed, and it was only by considerable eieTtion that the entire of the valuable stock, the dwelling-house, stablinic — onfffices, barn, and other buildings on the premises, were saved from destruction. The following letter, addressed to Miller, the principal officer, by Mr. Sterrey, the steward of the manor of Sir C. Hulse, Bart., under whom Mr. Gray has held the farm, was handed to Mr. HARDWICK : " Lodge Farm, Thursday, Oct. 30, 1834. " will thank you to come yourself or to despatch some competent officer hither, in order to trace out the incen diary who had last night set fire to Mr. Gray's stacks, by which they have been consumed, and but for the change in the wind the whole premises would have been burnt to the ground. Have the kindness to come or send directly. " Yours, obediently, " WASSEY STERREY. " To Mr. Miller, Lambeth-street Office." Mr. HAnnwieir, on reading the above note, observed that, unfortunately, he had but a few minutes before read a letter addressed to the Magistrates of the Office, from a Member of Parliament, requesting that they would despatch an officer to the county of Huntingdon for a similar purpose. In consequence of the few officers belonging to the esta blishment the Magistrates were obliged, with all their dis position to render the most prompt and ready assistance, in the first instance to procure the sanction of the Home Office, before they could send their officers into the country. As, however, the distance to the place where the fire oc curred was comparatively short and within the jurisdiction of the office, he (Mr. Hardwick) could have a objections to Millers' at once going there as requested, and using his exertions to discover the incendiary. Mr. Miller having thus received the sanction of the Ma gistrate, at once proceeding to Barking, and, from his long and well-known experience and intelligence in matters of this kind, it is to be hoped that the party or parties engaged in this abominable act will be brought to justice. In reply to the questions of Mr. HARDWICK, 'Mr. Miller said that there could be no doubt whatever but that the fire was caused by an incendiary. He also said that the occurrence had created the utmost sensation for many miles round the neighbourhood, and when lie (Mr. Miller) left the scene of destruction, the Magistrates and gentry in that part of the county were about to form a meeting for the purpose of offering a large reward for the apprehension of the perpetrator of the decd. The property consumed was of considerable value, as it comprised the whole produce of 60 acres of land. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. In the course of yesterday Mrs. e, the lady of Mr. Penleaze, the Member of Parliament, drove up to the office in her carriage, for the purpose of giving information of an aKtensive robbery of jewellery committed at the town residence, No. 14, Boltonrstrect, Piccadilly, , 4 2 soon as the nature of the visit of the lady was known into the private room, and was immediately she was ushere7l .A . 4 :7istrate, Mr. CHAMBERS, when, attended by the sitting - as far as we could understand, an investigation into the robbery took place. It appeared that Mrs. Penleaze, about an hour before she arrived at the office, had occasion to enter a closet con., netted with her dressing-room, and on looking about she discovered that a small box containing a quantity of very valuable jewellery, consisting of watches, chains, rings, brooches, &c., to the value of between four and five hun dred pounds was stolen. An inquiry was immediately in stituted, in the course of which it was ascertained that oil Monday night one of the policg constables of the C divi sion, while on duty in Bolton-street, found a small box about four houses off from that of the Hon. Member, and which circumstance he mentioned to the butler b4t as no suspicion of robbery having been committed existed no notice was taken of the information until yesterday, when it was mentioned to Mrs. Penleaze. The constable was sent for, and on the box being produced it was identified as the One which had been stolen. In consequence of this and other cirenrn4tanet34 being stated, two of the officers belonging to the establish ment were sent to examine the premises, and also the ser vants. Owing, however, to the investigation being strictly private, we are unable to state whether any suspicion rests against any of the (k.‘roeetics or not, as wall as by whet means the robbery was effected. Two Irishwomen, of the names of O'Connor and Daly, were brought before Mr. CONANT, charged with going about and by means of false representations obtaining some baby and other linen from some charitable institutions, The prisoners were remanded. MARYLEBONE. Thomas Inscape,a young man of shabby-genteel ap pearance, was placed at the bar for re-examinati on , on a charge of stealing six venetian blinds from the shop door of Mr. Cooke, upholsterer, No. 1, New-street, Dorset-square. The evidence being noPelusive, tTw prisoner, who denied the charge, was fully committed for trial ; A letter having been found on the prisoner on his being , 0 T 0 B Apprehended, written in almost an unintelligible hand, it was suspected that he formed part of a gang of thieves who for some time - past have carried on an extensive system of rob bery by calling at gentlemen's houses with notes, and during the absence of the servants to deliver them carrying off everything they could lay their hands on. Inquiries were accordingly ordered to be made, and yesterday the prisoner was placed at the bar on a second charge, preferred against him by Admiral Douglas, residing at No. 34, Charles -street, Berkele3,--square. John Easton, butler to the Admiral, deposed that about a quarter before eight o'clock last Thursday evenir ' , a man, answering the prisoner's description, knocked at the door (which witness opened), and asked if " Admiral Douglas was at home ?" He replied, " Yes ;" and the man then gave witness a note to deliver to him. He went up stairs for that purpose, and on coming down again found that the man had gone, taking with him a valuable cloak belonging to his (witness's) master. The Admiral here produced the note, stating that he knew nothing of the person whose signature was attached. It was worded exactly the same as the one found on the prisoner, and not a doubt could be entertained that they were both written by the same person. The contents were as follows : " Sir,—l shall be happy to see you any time to-morrow, at the York Hotel, Charles.street, Covent-garden.—l am, yours truly, " J. A SIMMONDS." There being no more evidence in this case, a third charge was brought against the prisoner for stealing a great coat from the house of Mr. Northwood, jeweller, No. 67, New man-street, Oxford-street. Mr. SHUTT committed him on all the charges. BO W- STREET. A sergeant and two privates of the 28th Regiment of Foot came before Sir F. ROE, and complained that Mr. Barrack, the proprietor of the Union Hotel, in Trafalgar square, had refused to give them proper accommodation, such as lodging, diet, &c., according to the billets which had been served upon him by the constable of the parish. Mr. MINSHULL fined the defendant 5/. and costs, which he immediately paid. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING.

On Wednesday evening a most destructive fire took place on the premises belonging to Mr. James Smith, far mer and overseer of Hoo, near Frindsbury, Kent. About eight stacks of corn are totally destroyed, with some build ings. The fire broke out about eight o'clock in the even ing, and raged with the greatest fury for upwards of three hours. For miles round the country was awfully illumi nated, and the river Medway (the fire being only three quarters of a mile from its banks) with the numerous ships of war lying on its waters, presented a very gran d scene. The guardships stationed at Sheerness, &c., at intervals, fired signals of distress. The property lost must be very great, owin g to the want of a supply of water. Gre a t p ra i se is duty to Messrs. Manclark and Boucher, for their acti vity with the Kent fire-engine, which quickly arrived, hav ing six post horses. It is supposed to be the worli.of an incendiary. _ _ _ About one o'clock on Tuesday an alarm of fire Was given in Horndon, Essex, and it is painful to state that five large stacks, two of wheat, ono of oats, one of beans, and one of hay, the property of Mr. Miles, of Heron-gate, have been destroyed. The stacks were situated on the road side, about a quarter of a mile from the dwelling-house and farm premises of Mr. Miles, and stood in a lino from grit t° west. As (.'f lying IYM in the north, they could. not h ue been in flames at the commencement h?a they n o t been s imultaneously ignited, From this circumstance, and the impossibility of obtainin g any water, their destruction became inevitable. At eleven o'clock in the morning they wprp i n fo ftwe, about two-thirds having then been de stroyed, Successful as the work o f th e i ncendiary has been on this Sr, in another, and on e still more i mportant, we aro happy o add., he has failed. At t h e t i me the fire. broke two of Mr. Miles' s men were b rewing, and to . broke out, the accidental circumstance of their opening a window to l e t ou t the Wain may he attribut e d th e preservation, pro bably, o f the family, but most certainly of the dwelling bOnin - the barns, stables, and outbuildi ngs , a b out a dozen in number, with several stacks of hay, stubble, and wood, forming three sides of a quadrangle. Fortunately the farm yard contained a good pool of water, but even this circtun 4anoo Wotild have been of little avail had the men brewing been fi ve minutes later in ope n i ng th e w i ndow. As it is, the preservation of this Property is considered most extra ordinary, the thatch of one of the barns having been consum ed. At this moment the centre barn, adoining the piaotgtioP In LAM Pore's park, a p peare d on fire, and on proceeding t o the stable 4 and the sh e d s t o remove t h e h orses and the cattle, the locks were found filled with stones, and rendered useless. By the prompt exertions of the neigh bours, favouved as they we re b y t h e poo l of water, the flames were extinguished.

The Committee of the Procuradores, and that of the Proceres, are to meet., and form the mixed committee (a conference you would call it), to settle the dispute pending between the two estamentos, concerning the Guebhard Loan, and other matters relative to the money bills. That of the Procuradores consists of Messrs.' Florez Estrada, M. de Montevirgen, Carillo de Albornoz, Arguelles, and Galliano. Three of them are decided oppositionists, Ar guelles having lately shown himself one : Carillo, an officer of engineers, is a Ministerialist indeed, but a man of no influence amongst his colleagues. These have yesterday chosen M. Florez Estrada for their Chairman, and Monte virgen for Secretary. As these two gentlemen headed the Opposition in the late debates, ere Arguelles or Galiano had taken their seats, you will see how few hopes there are of an agreement between the houses, through the instru mentality of the mixed committee. It is true the Commit tees can only act ad referendum, the final decision resting with the Chambers. Nevertheless, this inspires little hope of an amicable adjustment. The Guebhard Loan has but slight chances of resurrection. The fierce attack of Monday in the Procuradores has been very imperfectly reported. Arguelles spoke suaviter in mode, but extremely fortiter in re, nay, violently. He said, that had he known the existence of such reglamento or rules, as those prevailing in the Chamber, he would not have taken his seat, from the impossibility of a representa tive body going on under such conditions. Though he dis claimed the idea of systematic opposition on his part, still he told the Minister, that he would act upon this and other occasions up to the maxim amicus Plato sed magis arnica veritas. This declaration astounded and hurt Martinez de la Rosa, who rose immediately to reply, and did so with some asperity. Galiano then got up in defence of Ar guelles, and was also more than usually vehement. Toreno took up the cause of his friend and colleague, answering. Galiano's speech with less passion than is his wont, not withstanding the provocation. This sparring enlivened the debate of the 21st. To-day (the 22d) the Procuradores have not met. The Ministry begins to feel that it is weak, and would fain strengthen itself by new alliances. To part with Mo coso is no sacrifice : indeed, lately he has abstained from appearing in the Estamento, notwithstanding the import ance of the debates. I know that the seals of the Home Department haVe been offered to M. Alvarez Guerra, a Procer, who filled the same office in 1813 and 1814 under the first Cortes ; but he has refused, his polities being more liberal than those of our present rulers: There is talk of still greater changes. M. Martinez is evidently in a bad state of health, his liver, it is said, being affected. His re signation, therefore, is looked to as probable. - Then it is said General Alava will take the seals of the Foreign De partment,' the Home Department being given to M. de Mirafiores, whilst Toreno would keep the Finances, and be 'F'relidene or Premier. All this, in my opinion, is absurd. qt.cOuld not be, nor, were it attempted, could it stand. "Alava. is the worthiest of men ; but he would not face the storms in the Procuradores ; and Mirafiores would prove a colleague highly unfit for the present Ministers. Yet some change of measures must and will take place. Since the appearance of Arguelles and Galiano, the Cham ber has taken a new aspect ; and the press, though shackled, points to it with exultation. I have seen a letter from Mina—not written, indeed, but signed by him, saying he will soon enter Spain, and assume the command It is said that Merino has been able to enter some open towns, such. as Castile, and carry away arms. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) Four hours after the explosion in the Proceres against Burgos, this gentleman was seen in the Prado, in a brilliant equipage, braving the regards of the public. It is said that both he and Ballasteros have got ready their passports for foreign countries. M. Burgos, however, must wait for the accusatory pamphlet now drawing up against him, and about to be published, by M. Galiano. M. Burgos was rather severely attacked in a late article in the ReVista Espanola. The same paper has since pub lished the following letter from the ex-minister : " To the Editors of the Revista. " GENTLEMEN,—After having read the article inserted in your journal of to-day, I think it my duty to declare that the violent agitation that was produced by my presence in the Chamber to-day ought not to be attributed to me. I had a right to attend in that place, and no person could de prive me of it without violence. - " It is not correct to state that I had intended to yield to the prudent warning that was given me not to - attend the sittings, nor that I had considered this advice as being prudent. The fact is, that on the evening of the 17th I declared in explicit terms that in my position I could not abstain from attending ; and "I added that if any scandal should result from my presence, it must fall upon the au thors of it. On the morning of the 18th, owing to the state of agitation in which I was, and at which no person could be surprised, since I was violently attacked through the medium of the press, I said that this circumstance would prevent me from again entering the Chamber. But, two hours afterwards, the indio-nation with whi c h I was ani mated having give - inn - strength, I went to the Chamber of Proceres at half-past eleven. " That Chaml;er would not, probably, have adopted its baleful resolution, if it had taken time to reflect upon its consequences. These consequences may be terrible, and when once -the fatal principle shall be sanctioned that I ought to justify myself legally against an illegal accusation, and give private satisfaction to each of those persons by whom I am calumniated, without such satisfaction being considered as having been afforded by the explanations given in a printed memorial, the correctness of which no one can disprove, there will not be a single Procer nor a single Procurador who can feel that he is solidly seated on his bench. The revolution will go through all its phases, and each man's hour will be at hand. I have protested against this principle hnd against these consequences in the memorials ti.',at I have just ad dressed to the Governments anil to the Chamber, not only because they apply to my own case, for I am quite disposed to make a sacrifice of myself, if, thereby, those passions which are, unhappily, in a violent state of exasperation, could be calmed, I am aware that the spirit of party will seek for other pretexts to attack me, aft er h av i ng solemnly published that to say that I ever meddled in any loan whatever is an abominable falsehood, one of those iniquitous impostures which those who promulgate them do not believe. I had nothing more to do with Guebhard's Loan than to carry into execution, by superior orders, some collateral mea sures, or to pay the money into the treasury. When it shall 'have been made evident that the accusation made against me (I ought rather to say the imputation, because accusations are made before the tribunals, and my enemies would not dare to bring forward such) is not only false, but also absurd and shameful, recourse will be had to some other falsehood ; for parties, are not discouraged by a single defeat. In protesting against the unanimity of the Cham ber, my object has not been to defend my cause, but the principles of justice, of public convenience, and respect for the laws. This is the point of view in which those who wish to enlighten their fellow-citizen s ought to look at the question. The injustice that has been committed towards me may be a triumph for my enemies, but, under existing circumstances, this violence is a misfortune for all parties-- a breach opened in the very centre of our institutions—A public calamity ; and who knows wheth©r it may " . ..ot be come a calamity for all Europe ? The comre ''...ien; that may result from this flagrant violation ples of our political organizatir. , conservative princi -.1 may cross the Pyrenees ! " I did not expect ' ,Je obliged to have recourse to the journals. I wA.: waiting with calm, and without remorse, for t he . ` / _. - eCision of the supreme authority ; for it is not a e.nme to be the victim of an injustice ; on the contrary, it is glorious to endure a violent act. But you have provoked me, gentlemen, by advancing in your journal of to-day facts and principles which it is my duty to rectify, and which you would, perhaps, not defend, if you were better informed, or if in these difficult moments you could follow the generous inspirations of your conscience. I beg of you to insert, in your journal of to-morrow,-this answer, which will be my last. Your affectionate servant, (Signed) " XAVIER DE BURGOS." The Revista makes the following reflections upon the above letter : " The affair of M. Burgos may be looked upon both in a penonal and a political point of view. We abstain from speaking upon the former, which must be abandoned to the competent authority. As to the latter we cannot help de ploring the fatal precipitation with which the Chamber pro ceeded to the exclusion of M. Burgos, who had an un doubted right to attend the sitting. We contemplate with grief the conflict which may ensue from this exclusion, without, however, adopting the opinion of M. Burgos as to the consequences of this imprudent act :---they will not ex tend beyond the Pyrenees ; and if ever our tranquillity should be disturbed by violent commotions, they must not be attributed to the expulsion of M. B urgos from the Chamber of Proceres." The Captain-General of Catalonia has addressed a peti tion to the Queen Regent, praying her to adopt energetic measures for the purpose of preventing the journalists of that province from inserting articles hostile to religion and order. A ... despatch has been received by the Minister at War from the Captain-General of Old Castile, announcing the defeat of the insurgents, commanded by Barnabi and Alonzo, near to Mata Combo, by the movable column of Palenia.
