SPIRIT of the PUBLIC J OURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—In our late remarks upon her Majesty's reception by the modern, degenerate representatives of the magnanimous and enthusiastic Bailies Nicol Jarvis, Macwheeble, and Little John, we ventured to anticipate that the " Highland welcome" which awaited Queen Victoria would show, at the same time, what were the real feelings and opinions of the Scottish people, and, by the contrast, put still further to shame, if shame in such a case were possible, the cheese -scraping pride and cand le-savin g dignity of the Town Council of Edinburgh. Our anticipations have, of course, not been disappointed. Highland hospita lity, Highland truth, and Highland loyalty, have once more proved themselves worthy of their ancient repu tation, and have again redeemed and maintained, as they were wont of old, the honour and character of Scotland. We will not pay our Highland friends the bad compliment of saying that we unfeignedly re joice that it is so, for this would imply that there had been a time when we doubted about the matter ; hut we may be permitted to express our satisfac tion that her Majesty has given her northern sub jects the opportunity of once more expressing their loyal adherence to the Throne, and their personal attachment to their Sovereign. A progress of this sort is, we conceive, in a national point of view,. chiefly beneficial, in that it communicates between, and mixes and blends into a greater unanimity, the feelings, the sentiments, and the principles, of the dif ferent peoples composing this great empire. Politics, for instance, and especially Scotch politics, have a ten dency to become local and peculiar. The visit of the Court infuses new blood into the system. The ex istence of a school of politics different almost in kind, though ranged under the same parties and the same names, is brought home much more forcibly by its actual presence and operation among the people, than it ever could be by any distant contemplation of its tenets, or even by a visit to its ordinary and proper scene of action. Scottish politics have long been very distinct from, and have also long and gradually been assimilating themselves to, English. Scotch Toryism has been a more personal,* more clannish, perhaps a higher and more disinterested, feeling than English. The hereditary succession, which forms one of the main features of the c onstitutional monarchy of these realms, but which in English politics has ever been regarded as distinct from the fundamental principles on which government in general, and monarchy in particular, are based, has in Scotland been almost exalted above both. Certainly it has been held to constitute an integral element of all government—an almost necessary condition to the claim of civil obe dience. Many other points of difference might be suggested ; but the one just named is perhaps as re markable as any, and has proved as enduring. , Not the 100 years of English intercourse that have elapsed since the Union—not the 150 years that have elapsed since the establishment by law of Presbyterian church government—not the Edinburgh school of philosophy of the latter end of the last century, or the party which has sprung from it—not the Reform Bill itself, and the consequent growth of a party simply Conser vative (though that party is a large and an influential one), have availed to overcome the peculiar andfeudal spirit of personal reverence which has distinguished Scottish Toryism ever since the days of Montrose. On the other hand, Scottish Whiggery has, we think, contrived to find " beyond the lowest deep a lower still." There is no necessity here to re capitulate the somewhat musty examples of canny self-seeking with which every reader of Dr. Johnson, or rather of Boswell, is doubtless acquainted, and which have illustrated the annals of Scotch Whiggery. Indeed, it has not been with the purpose of drawing wider the distinction between the subjects of her Ma jesty dwelling north and those dwelling south of the Tweed that we have adverted to the above circum stances. It has been rather with the hope of promot ing and furthering the amalgamation of the two peo ples, in feeling, in character, and ultimately in insti tutions--of realising, if possible, still further the union which has existed in law for upYeards of a cen tury, and which, by the increased facilities of inter course, will now probably become, sooner or later, a union in deed. And, doubtless, if complete and per- Pet union he meant, it is not possible, until by a long continued legal union the habits, the manners, the institutions, and the religion of the two peoples be come more and more one and the same: This has been gradually the case with Scotland and England; we doubt not that it will ultimately be more so. Doubtless a Royal progress, such as that now made by Queen Victoria, has the very best effect in tending to promote, though insensibly, this desirable consum mation. CHRONICLE.—We are in hopes that we see in dications of some good likely to result from the late unhappy disorders, in compensation for the great evil which they have undoubtedly occasioned. It will be , a great point gained if the conduct of those who in stigated the people to disorder, be set in its true light before those who have been their dupes. The feelings of the masses are more open to conviction than their judgment; and it will probably not be until in some actual crisis the working people shall have found. themselves left in the lurch by the cowardice or treachery of their present leaders, that they will begin to scrutinise more narrowly the .character of those leaders, their pretensions to lead them, and the sound ness of the views which they put forth. The late out break was calculated to produce this result. Acting upon the advice constantly given by O'Connor and his confederates a great body of the workmen in the ma nufacturing districts entered into the late strike, and its necessary concomitants of riot and disorder, in the hope of bringing about the establishment of the Peo ple's Charter. The instant the agitators found the matter getting serious, they thought only of their own safety, withdrew from the scene of action, and left their dupes to struggle and to suffer alone. Conduct thus openly base was calculated to disabuse the people ; and we are happy to see that the influence of the Chartist leaders has been seriously shaken by their conduct during the recent occurrences. We see that Bronterre O'Brien, who of late appeared to be couched under the influence of O'Connor, is now again assailing him, and charging him with the gross ee.t treachery to his followers. The Chartist papers ring with similar denunciations, emanating some from anonymous, some from open accusers. What effect these accusations have produced, it is impossible as yet to estimate with any degree of accuracy. But it is clear that O'Connor is reduced to a mere defensive position towards his own party. And when once charges so' obviously trne, are openly made against a demagogue, it is not likely that he will long escape detection and desertion. The late occurrences, too, must have had a good effect in showing the working people how hopeless it is for them to attempt to carry their own objects in despite of the opposition of all other classes of society. Mr. Richardson, a Chartist leader of some note, says in a letter on the late occurrences, recently published in O'Brien's paper, "To be candid, I fear Chartism has received a terrible blow, from the effects of which it will require some time to recover." "Every one mud be aware, from the formidable opposition of the middle class during the late movement, that much remains to be dime before the people have the slight-, cst chance of gaining the Charter, either by Moral or physical means. The physical force of the middle classes in the disturbed districts was tremendous ; sivery town swarmed with horse and foot patrols of the middle classes," &c. It appears that these Char. tist leaisrs had taught the people to expect that the middle classes of their countrymen would sit still in apathy, or lie dawn in terror, while others were ravaging their property. It is well, at any rate, that thty are undeceived on this point ; that they should see that big words will not suffice to over throw the present frame of society; and . that their present leaders, bountiful in words, have no disposition to The two leasons taus resort to deeds in their behalf. result of the late us taught the people, by the ill-advised movement, have already begun to produce abetter • Every day there is exhibiting disposition among them. wrong numbers of the working people a strong tendency quit the ranks of the " physical force" people tho ; Se svho desire to attain - their ends and join to with ouens. Both sections of the ends by peaceable same, constitutional Chartists,it is true, seek the same, or almost the consists constitutional chaages. But the difference not merely in the means by which the two section s ChartistsPrapose to attain o re that the mere their great end. The peaceable s establishment of Universal Suffrage by e of rble in fluence of opinion, must be a matter of considerable time, and must be preceded by the co-oper a ti onthe middle classes. Instead, therefore, of repelli ng aid of the latter, according to the false counsels the so e f O'Connor, they insist on a reconciliation of th e m id dle and working classes as the first step to be effected; and in the interval that must elapse ere the Charter shall have made sufficient progress in public opinion, they are desirous of uniting with the middle classes in the effort to remove common grievances. If the Charter is to have adherents (and that the feeling of the great body of the working classes is strongly aroused in behalf of an extended suffrage cannot be doubted), it is some thing gained if th e grea t b o dy of its adherents profess doctrines of peace and moderation, and co-operate with other great bodies of their countrymen instead of thwarting every attempt to secure improvement. We shall have some compensation for the calamities of recent disorder if, in consequence of them, such an improved state of feeling grows up between the classes now separated by an unnatural and mischievous hos tility. Much will have been gained if a futile out break and its chastisement teach the workin g people to abstain from objects beyond their grasp, and avoid the leaders that have betrayed them. They will then naturally seek leaders among that middle class, wh os e interest is the same as their own, and whose intelli gence qualifies them to guide them. They will then direct their attention to practical grievances, and, with the sympathy of their countrymen, labour to .remove the common cause of the common distress o f el classes in the country. ..11BRALD.—If Manchester Magistrates could fix THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER l5, 1842. some few others standing similarly high in point of safety, be excepted, there would appear to be none that capitalists can be tempted to embark in. Mention is made in the Madrid news of a project for the establishment of an " Anglo-Spanish Bank" having lately engaged the attention of the Spanish capitalists, and of the Government. The capital to be raised for the institution is to be 2,000,0001. in 20,000 shares of 1001. each, and there would seem to be a suspicion that English speculators may be found to join in the undertaking provided the early instal ments be low, nor is the opportunity neglected of pointing attention to the fate of the United States and other American banks, by way of caution, the general looseness of the Spaniards in their financial affairs being also touched upon as a further provocation to vigilance. An intimation that the Spanish Govern ment is quite capable, in the event of a pressing emergency, which will be sure to arise, of appro priating to public purposes the funds of the embryo bank, is not out of place or out of time. The public require to be constantly warned of the danger of these foreign speculations, but it must be admitted that, if ever there was one moment at which they less needed to be put upon their guard than another, it is the present. The project is said to be much in favour with the new Finance Minister, Calatrava, but that gentleman is not aware of the extent of the change which has taken place in the minds of English capitalists with regard to Peninsular enterprises cf the kind since he was a resident of the English metropolis. The Anglo-Spanish Bank has no chance whatever of obtaining popularity, or even of acquiring a footing, in the money circles of this country. yard of the prismer's house. The prisoner knew that the witness was the parish surveyor. The purchase was not a matte) of concealment, and the stone was delivered in the day-time. Mr. CLARKSQc took an objection to the indictment. The Company as incorporated under an Act of Par= liament, and they were there intitled " The London and Brighton failway Company." Now they could I only sue and be sued under that title, and if any por tion' of that title were omitted they could not sue or be sued. In tlis indictment the word " The" was omitted; that lAas a portion of their title by Act of Parliament, and as it had been omitted the indictment was bad. Mr. BODKlNtontended, that as the omission was not material it lid not vitiate the indictment. The CIIAIRMtN considered the objection a fatal one, and the prisoner was acquitted. There were several other indictments against the prisoner, in the whole of which the same objection was found. He was consequently acquitted on the whole of them, and discharged from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YE STERD AY.) GUILDHALL. John Chant and John Gray were placed at the bar, having been entered on the charge-sheet as hav ing violently assaulted police constable 284, whilst in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that he was on duty at half past one o'clock this morning in Smithfield, and the defendants were there_playing a cornopean, and creat ing a disturbance. He told them to desist, when they fell upon him and knocked him down. The defendants said that they were certainly in Smithfield at the time, being close to their own homes. The defendant Gray was playing the cor nopean, and the complainant came up and told them to desist. They did so and were going away, when the complainant laid hold of Gray by the collar, and said," Come along with me to the station-house." There was a slight scuffle, and they both fell, but no blow was struck. Mr. Alderman HOOPER said he could not believe that the assault sworn to had been committed, and he should therefore discharge the prisoners. He thought that there was too frequently a want of temper and discretion on the part of the police. BOW-ST REET. A woman named Mary Ann Ednzondes, was this morning placed at the bar, charged with being a dis orderly person, and Mr. Baker, jeweller, of 35, Long-acre, who gave the prisoner into custody last night, attended this morning as a deputy from the in habitants of Long-acre, and presented a memorial to the Magistrates, signed by a great number of the in habitants, complaining in strong language of the in creased nuisance, which prevented respectable persons from traversing Long-acre at night, much to the de triment of the shopkeepers. Mr. TWYFORD said it was certainly a great dis grace to this office that any disorders should take place so near a police-court as Long-acre. He should hand over the document to Superintendent Sandrock, with instructions to see that it was attended to.—The prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE. Willianz Pitcher, a rough-looking scoundrel, was brought up before Mr. Rawlinson for the following assault :—John Sands, the landlord of the Victoria public-house, Paddington, stated that, the prisoner walked into the taproom, where two young men were having a glass of ale together. Defendant said to one of them, " What was that you said of me ?" and struck him a violent blow in the face. He (the land lord) interfered, when prisoner also struck him with a screw-driver, which was lying beside him. When at last pushed outside, he liked a brick from the road and dashed it through the window, striking Mr. Sands upon the arm. Two witnesses proved the above, and the Magis trate fined him 405., or two months' hard labour. Q UEEN-SQ UARE. A respectable looking man named White applied to Mr. Gregory, the sitting Magistrate, under the fol lowing circumstances stated that he had been in the service of the Countess of Blessington, at Gore House, Kensington, for about a year and a half, first in the capacity of under-butler, and then as head butler. In consequence of an intimation that his wages would be reduced, he gave notice of his inten tion to leave her Ladyship's service, and applied for payment of the sum of 6/. due to him as wages, when the reply was, she would see him first before he should get 61. from her, as he had broken a sugar-bowl ; and as he seemed so anxious to " screw" her, she would screw him, and make him pay 4/. for it. The applicant went on to state that it was only the stand of the sugar-basin that was broken, and that her Ladyship was well aware that even in its original state, when new, it was not worth much more than 41., and the damage could be repaired at a very trifling cost. Mr. GREGORY said he could afford him no assistance in his capacity as a Magistrate, but he would advise THA SOCE. board the ship True him to go to Gore House , and get the 21 . which her Ladyship expressed her readiness to pay, after which be might seek to recover t h e balance by action in the Court of Requests. Robert Smith, late a coo k on L Briton, was placed at the bar for final examination on a charge of murdering John Preston, the mate of the ship. On the first examination Thomas Turnbull, the Captain, was examined, whose evidence was to the effect that on the day in question the cook brought one of the boys aft to him (the captain) to be repri manded for some misconduct, and was so much irritated, that he was about to strike the boy, which witness prevented. Shortly afterwards there was a scuffle between the prisoner and two boys at the fore part of the ship, and on the captain and mate at tempting to quiet them the prisoner took up a part of the fore-scuttle hatch and struck the mate on the forehead, which stunned him. On recovering the mate walked below, and went to bed, appearing very ill, and died about eleven hours after. Thomas Gibbs and Robert Ennis, two apprentices to the ship, were examined to-day, and corroborated the evidence given on a former occasion. The prisoner, \V ho appeared extremely penitent, merely said that he was sorry for what he had done, but he was exasperated by the mate striking him. He had nothing more to say. Mr. BRODERIP said, that from the evidence of the boys, it did not appear that there was any malice pre pense in the case, but, it was evident the blow was in flicted in the irritation of' the moment ; he should, therefore, commit the prisoner on the charge of man slauzbter only. SINGULAR ELOPEMENT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NORWICH, SEPT. 13.—An event has just occurred here, that, despite its being Festival week, engrosses the exclusive conversation of all our gossips. A Miss C., well known for her beauty and wealth, has just eloped with a London gentleman, a principal in, and representative of, a highly respectable firm, carrying on trade in London and Nottingham. The circum stances are as follow :—Miss C. whose parents have been dead long since, was left about two years ago by her maternal grandfather property to the amount of about 15,0001., who also appointed her half-brother, and a celebrated lawyer of this place, her guardians. These gentleman placed her with a Mr. R. C. It was not long ere her affections were sought, and (supposed to be) gained by a medical gentlemen of this city ; but whether from disapprobation on the part of her friends, or loss of affection-in the lover, this was broken off, and her love immediately transferred to a Mr. S., a clergyman of the Established Church, who by-the-bye it is as well to say, numbers full twice as waey years as his lady love. All things went on prosperously and happily, the wedding-day was fixed for Thursday next, the bridal dresses bought, brides maids se!ected, presents made, and all talking about and envying the happy man ! when — alas ! for human foresight—the Festival att rac ted to this spot the de stroyer of all these well-di ges ted plans ; or, in plain English, Mr. N. bein g on hi s journey through this county, very naturally determined to relieve himself f ro m the cares of busi ness by staying here the Fes tival week, and being invited to the house of Mr. C., quite as naturally becam e uncon trollably in love with his guest. The consequence was, that he ( Mr. N.) so far removed all impressions of the rev. gallant from the young lady's . heart, that he persuaded her to elope with him on Su n d a y night, at twelve o'clock. All things were Well arranged, one of the servants was bribed, and at between twelve and one the happy pair set off as fast as You may well imagin four good horses could gallop. e th e scene of confusion which ensued on the following morning, when, on Miss C. being summoned -to the breakfast parlour, it was found that she had fl e d . Two letters were left, di rected to her guardians, telling them to be under no as she was only going apprehension, to get married. These gentlemen immediately started in chase, but as they left here about the time the runaways would reach town, I do not think there is much chance of their catching them. TIER " PRINCELY MANstoN" Or WYNYARD .—A dispute exists between the t o wnship of Grindon a nd the Marquis of Londonderry, relative to the amount at which the latter should be rated to the poor for the mansion-house at Wy ny ard gro unds, the stables, coach-1: t h e e xtensive gardens and coa c h-h ou ses, residences of porters, gardeners, schoolinasters, &c. , t h e park containing about 600 acres of wood, and n ear ly 900 acres of grass land. The agents of the Marquis assert that, the whole is only worth 5001. a year ! and that, if rated at a larger sum, the Marquis will appeal. Can; it be possible, that this is the princely residence and magnificent demesne about which so much noise has been made in the provincial Tory organs of the last few weeks ?—Gateshead Observer. The preliminaries of a marriage. are said to he ar ranged between the Marquis of Blandford and the Lady Fanny Vane Stewart, eldest daughter of the Marq u i s of Londonderry ; but as the Noble Lord is still a minor, the nuptials will be deferred until after his Lordship comes of age, which will be in June next. A SHIP ON FIRE—PERILOUS SITUATION. The following extract from the log book of the ship Renown, Captain Hoskin, on her passage from Sydney, New South Wales, to this port, with a cargo of wool, gives an account of the breaking out of a fire in the hold, from the spontaneous combustion, it is supposed, of the wool ; of the perilous situation of the crew and the passengers ; and of the skilful and per severing manner in which the parties on hoard sub clued the flames, thereby saving the vessel and her cargo as well as their own lives. The narrative is highly interesting. June 24.—At 8 a.m., moved the spars on the lar board side, and in so doing perceived a curious smell. At 9 a.m. remarked the same kind of smell in the cabin. Overhauled all the ship, but discovered no thing. At noon, a similar smell. Latitude obtained 25. 26. S„ long. 38. 48. 25th.—At 12 30 p.m., cleared the sail-cabin, store room, and everything out of the berths, and in so doing found the smell proceeded from the hold, be tween the bulkheads of the cabin and quarter-deck. The smell increased, having every symptom of the wool being on fire. Pressed the people to work to get . part of the provisions on deck, all the spirits, oil, rope, &c.,; closed all down, and made all as air-tight as possible, and kept the ship before the wind for Rio. Pumps duly attended to, and all possible sail set to advantage. Cleared away the long boat and pinnace, got the tackle rove, and all ready for getting the boats out. Latitude 24 20, long. —. 26th.--At 12 p.m., commenced moderate breeze and cloudy : all sail set to advantage, standing to wards the land. At 4 p.m., smoke was observed coming through the break of the second deck, and smelling like the smoke of wool. At 6 p.m., the smell increasing very much, and every symptom of the ship being on fire. The captain ordered the long boat and pinnace to be hoisted overboard, with masts and sails, and sent the most useless of the passengers in them. The boats being ready, put _astern of the ship, with a cask of water, some provisions, and spirits, two chronometers, and what was required for navi gating the boats to land. At this time the brass of the skylight and wood of the companion appeared red hot. - Covered the coats of the masts, skylights, and companion with blankets and sails, which were con stantly kept wet. At 11 30 p.m., fire was discovered bursting through the starboard side, a little before the main chains; water was thrown in to stop the flames. At this time there was nothing but a solid mass of fire to be seen inside the ship, from the holes made by the flames. The boats were now ordered alongside the ship for the remainder of the passengers, and some of the crew sent into them, except two of the passen gers, who exerted themselves in a most able manner for the safety of the ship, namely, Dr. Hampton, R.N., and Mr. Joseph Lane, the captain having . deter mined to remain by the ship, in hope of saving her and cargo, keeping the mate and seven of the crew on board, who were employed pouring water into the holes made by the fire, and at the same time constantly keeping the companion sky-lights, and coats of the masts and deck wet. At midnight, light breezes and fine weather, towing the boats astern with passengers, the fire still increasing from mid night to 4 a.m., when the crew that were in the boats were ordered to come on board to relieve those that had been working all night. At daylight, being in sight of land, the captain determined to break into the ship, by cutting away the covering board, where the fire appeared to be most rapid : got some casks of water filled on deck. At 6 a.m., all ready, and the ship's company all on the spot, also Dr. Hampton and Mr. Joseph Lane, to assist, commenced cutting away with the broad axe, and pouring water into the hold. At 8 a.m., the fire appeared to be abated, and the half deck hatches were broken open to find the extent of the fire. The hatches being broken open, water was thrown down as fast as possible. Cleared away the half-deck, and found nearly all the sails were burned and the ship's stores and provisions all spoiled by the fire. At 9 a.m., the fire appeared to be extinguished. A sail in sight in shore, sent away Mr. Lane and five men in the ship's gig to provide a passage for some of the passengers, the ladies having appeared to suffer much from alarm and being in boats all night. At 11 a.m., returned, and reported the vessel was bound to Rio, and that the captain would take about six passengers. Captain Hoskin then put on board Mr. and Mrs. Badley, Mrs. Rose, Mr. Garrett, Mr. Perry, and two sailors. At noon the captain returned to the ship, hoisted up the pinnace and gig, and towed the long-boat astern of the ship. Pumps duly attended to. 27th.—At twelve, p.m., commence light winds and pleasant weather • made all possible sale, plying to windward. At four, her Majesty's brig Fantome spoke, the Captain kindly offered us assistance, and sent a boat aboard with one Lieutenant and Surgeon to inspect the state of the ship,' and there were no symptoms of fire to be seen. The Fantome's boat left the ship. At eight, light winds and clear weather ; no appearance of fire; employed throwing water over the burnt part of the ship. Midnight, ditto weather. Threw more water over the ship. At four, a.m., a moderate breeze from W.S.W. running along the land • set all studding . sails. At noon no appear ance of fire. 28th.—Lat. observed 23. 20., long. 28, commenced with a fine breeze and pleasant weather. At three, p.m., found the wool to be on fire in the hold in the same place as before. All hands were immediately ordered to pour water on the fire and to take the burning wool on deck. At four, p.m., there was no fire to be seen, but some of the wool was still very hot. At eight, light wind and cloudy, no appearance of fire. Set a watch in the hold to watch for the fire breaking out again. At daylight saw the en trance to Rio harbour, bearing N.E. by E. At noon no appearance of fire. Lat. 23. 9. S. At four, p.m., anchored in the harbour of Rio de Janiero.—Liver ool Albion. the price of justice, as they seem inclined to fix the price of ginghams, we should advise Sir James Graham to have a conference with Lord Stanley, and inquire whether Lancashire, as a county in England, might not be taboo' d with as much facility as a plot of ground by savage chiefs in New Zealand. To say the naked truth, the wild justice of New Zealand is infinitely preferable to the unreasonable justice of Manchester. Are the men at Manchester all mad? For justice seems to be sanctified as a goddess there, but only to be treated in the allegorical way—to be kicked about as blind because she is impartial, and to be despised as helpless because she is invulnerable—whereas Justice is a very practical little woman, who has eyes to see through her bandages, and has hands more cer tain for length and tenacity than those of Briareus. The Mayor of Manchester may be a monstrously great man, and the Town-clerk of Manchester, as a matter of course, a much greater man than he ; the Mayor, for aught we know, a Zealand chief, with a savage idea of despotic justice ; and the Town-clerk may be a smiling, smirking slave, under the very pleasant patronage of his civic-tomahawk —but what then ? The Mayor of Manchester and the Town-clerk of Manchester are, if we count them by noses, only ttva men ; and we have not heard yet of much wisdom having come out of the breath of their nostrils. We would forgive the Mayor and his clerk an immense amount of folly and mendacity; but we will not lightly pass over such an insult to justice as these two gentlemen hazarded on Monday last. We spoke very strongly on Tuesday week last of tha..eizure and forcible detention of two young men appeentieed to a Mr. Turner, a printer, in Manchester—the said Mr. Turner having been held to bail for printing a sediti ous libel. He may have printed ten thousand sediti ous libels for anything that we know or care about ; for the result proves, exactly as we predicted, that neither Chartism nor the Corn-laws have much more , to do now with the turn-outs than, as Burns says, " last year's snow has to do with this year's guineas." But to our mutton. Mr. James Hampson (whom we must suppose to be a member of the Manchester Common Council, and if not so much the better) asked a question of Mr. Mayor. The question ran thus : " It was with reference to Turner, the printer of a particular placard. Not only had he been seized in the first instance, but his apprentices were also seized, and had been subsequently kept, it was said with their own consent ; but he wished to call the Mayor's at tention to it as a proceeding dangerous to the liberty of the subject." One would suppose that was the way to raise a question, so as to extort a plain answer from any ho nest man ; but the Mayor of Manchester is exces sively obtuse : " Mr. Mayor—Are you asking me a question, Mr. Hampson ? " Mr. Hampson—l am. I wish the corporation to stand either as connected with it (the imprisonment of Turner's apprentices), or to be free from the guilt of it. I call it a most arbitrary proceeding. You are chief Magistrate ; the State nominates Magistrates generally ; but we' have the right to choose our chief Magistrate ; and in this view I think it right to call y ourY attention to what I consider an offence against the liberty of the subject. Except you respect justice yourself, you cannot expect that others will do so. " Mr. Mayor—l do not see the drift of Mr. Hamp son's observations," &c. Poultice the eyes of justice at Manchester, Sir James Graham ! Clap a blister on the eyes of this beautiful Mayor at Manchester, which shall make him see the drift of a fair straightforward question. " I cannot see the drift of Mr. Hampson's observa tions !" Why the man was—we will only use the mild phrase of the nursery—a story-teller on the very face of his assertion ; and a good bold liar is worth a gross of tellers of stories. The Mayor of Manches ter knew as well as ever any beggar knew his dish what Mr. Hampson was driving at. Mr. Hare pson knew, as all the world knows, by whom the two young men were seized ; but he wanted to know by whose warrant they are detained. We will not conde scend to use any plea ad misericordiam for the sake of the mothers of these young men. We do not care if it should turn out that they have been fattened into being prisoners by consent, and that their mothers are maintained by the police. We say, as we said at first, that, let the Manchester Magistracy put this case in any light they can, it is a most scandalous one. Are We defending the master, Turner ? Very, very far from it. If he has, for the filth of lucre, soiled his hands by printing a seditious placard, twelve honest men can say so, without the monstrous precedent being set of a man's own family being forcibly imprisoned to ex tort evidence against him. A master stands by every tie, legal as well as moral, in loco parentis to an ap prentice ; and we consider it as great a violation of the domestic sanctity even to wheedle away an ap prentice to give evidence against his master, as it would be to kidnap a child to betray his father. Talk of Olivers, &c., indeed! If this system is to be pur sued by the Magistracy and the police, every father must begin to instruct his children that they are not to betray the hasty or incautious words which the most careful of us use when we retire within the sa cred precinct of our own threshold. We are glad to perceive that our former remarks on this subject have done the good which we intended; and we can assure the conceited and stupid Mayor of Manchester that we shall keep an eye upon the subject. GLOBE.—We perceive that an attempt has been made in one instance, which may be repeated in many others, to put down some public meetings, which have been held uninterruptedly for seven years, in furtherance of the cause of temperance. We always apprehended that the doctrine of Sir J. Graham—de claring it to be within the province of a common con stable to decide on the legality or illegality of an assembly—would be acted on for the purpose of restrain. ing the right of public meeting. Such has been the case in many places, where small Magistrates and petty officials have been desirous of exercising that sort of arbitrary power which little minds are apt to mistake for dignity. It seems that at a place called Delph, a temperance society, which has been in the habit of holding meetings in a Wesleyan school, and in other licensed rooms, for seven years, has received intimation from the constables that no more meetings must be held—for that they are illegal, and parties attending them will be liable to punishment. Unless the right of public meeting is extinct in Eng land, we do not see how a set of persons coming together for the purpose of promoting temperance, and nor causing a disturbance—as we are to presume, from their having been habitually allowed to assemble in places of worship, that they do not—we say that if this is the case, we do not know by what competent authority they can be prevented from continuing to held their meetings as hitherto. It has been well observed by their President, to whom they have ap plied for a lvice, that " proclamations are not laws ;" but even if they were, there is no proclamation now in circulation by which any but illegal meetings are prohibited. We would not counsel, under any cir cumstances, disobedience to the constituted authori ties; out we would certainly recommend that when ever they proceed to put down, as illegal, meetings which are strictly within th e law, they should be made to account for the arbitrary interference which they have resorted to. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TAE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY . TIMES.—The premium on gold a t P ar i s is 8 13e mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.r 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 35i., and the exchange at Paris on Lon don at short being 2.5 57}, it follows that gold is 0.88 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg+, the price of gold is 433 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 104, it follow-3 that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The English stocks remain in the same unchanged condition, business is languid, and barely sufficient to support prices, yet still no decline is observable, and they are kept up to those current yesterday. Money is by all accounts accessible at easy rates as hereto fore, and though such a circumstance is enough to explain the reason for the firmness of quotations in the stock-market, it does not furnish a solution for the otherwise dull state of things in the City. By the official returns published by the Customs the exports of the precious metals to foreign and co lonial parts for the week, ending Thursday last, were as under : oz.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU_V. SlR,—Accompanied by Lieutenant Batt, R.N., in her Majesty's cutter Skylark, which was kindly or dered to be at my service by Commander Captain Westbrook, I made a precise survey of the caisson after the late gale; and, notwithstanding the fore bodings of many persons, including several individuals of great experience, that the gale was such the caisson never could survive, I have the pleasure of reporting that it had not the slightest effect upon it, and that it remains perfectly perpendicular, after having been subjected for many hours to the violence of the storm. This being the case, I have not the least doubt of the ultimate success of this great national undertaking. A small stage was' washed off, which is of no importance whatever.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, WM. BUSH, C.E. Ca6son, Goodwin Sands, Sept. 12. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. PUCKLE, the Chairman, and a bench of kagistrates.) TIIE BRIGHTON RAILWAY PROSECUTIONS.— Win. Neal, aged 46, a respectable looking man, was charged with felonionsly stealing, at Croydon, a quantity of broken stone, value 165., the property of the Brighton Railway Company. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Locke conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Wallinger defended the prisoner. From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that the prisoner was a servant in the employment of the London and Brighton Railway Company, and that it was part of his duty to take care of certain trams and stone-heaps, the property of the Company, which were placed on the old tramway leading from 'Wands worth to Croydon, on which the prisoner had been employed before the purchase of the tramway by the Brighton Railway Company. These trams and stones had formed a part of the tram-road which had been broken up. On the morning of the 9th of April the prisoner was engaged in stacking some stone, when Mr. H. Overton, a crewer, residing at Croydon, whose house was near the old tramway, joined the prisoner, ' and asked him if he had any stone to sell ; to which tha prisoner replied in the affirmative, and ultimately sold him a quantity of stone for 16s. The prisoner at the time of the sale did not say that the stone was the property of the Company ; and from the evidence of Mr. Coomb, the engineer of the Company, it ap peared that the prisoner had never accounted for the 16s. to the Company. The engineer, on his cross examination, stated that the prisoner claimed wages to April, but that he had only been paid up to De cember, as there was a dispute as to his right to the wages claimed. Mr. CLARKSON, in defending the prisoner, com plained of the unfair treatment which the prisoner had experienced at the hands of the Company, in being put upon his trial on this indictment, of which he had not before heard a word, for the offence for which he had been committed by the Magistrates was of a totally different nature. He suggested, that as the prisoner had kept the gate .of the old tramway prior to its purchase by the Company, he might have supposed that these broken stones were his perquisite, and have disposed of them accordingly ; besides, as lie claimed wages up . to April, and had only been paid to December, he might have imagined that he had a right to pay himself in this way; and if such were the case, there was no felo nious intent, and they must acquit the prisoner. Mr. Penfold, a solicitor of Croydon, and the clerk to the Magistrates, then gave the prisoner a good character. The CIIAIRMAN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing 100 blocks of stone, vale 101., and 1 cwt. of stone, value 101., the property of the London and Brighton Rail way Company. Mr. BODKIN having stated the case for the prosecu tion, called Mr. James Coomb, the resident engineer of the Company, who stated that the prisoner had charge of the old tramway as a servant of the Company, and that he was employed to lift the old tramway, to cart the iron plates to the station, and to stack the stones. The prisoner had no authority to dis pose of any stones. The witness in passing through the. streets of Croydon saw a quan • tity of stone employed in paving the streets,. which he recognised as having formed part of the old tramway. He applied to the prisoner on the subject, and prisoner said they were the blocks which the parish had claimed. The parish had claimed some portion of the stone, but it appeared to witness that there was more stone used than the parish had claimed. The prisoner never said that he had sold any. On his cross-examination, the witness admitted that he could not tell what quantity of stone he had allowed the parish to take, nor could he venture to swear that there was more stonein the street than he had allowed to be taken by the parish. Mr. Willoughby, assistant-surveyor of the parish of Croydon,_ deposed, that a portion of th e s t one used in paving Croydon had been claimed by , the parish, and a portion purchased by him of the prisoner on the 2d April for V. The stones were delivered by the pri soner on the 4th April, and were carted by the prisoner f.-orn his dwelling-house near the tram-road. Cross-examined—All the stones purchased from the prisoner were broken stones. It was deposited _in the HEALTH OF SHIPS. (From the "Report on the Sanitary Condition of the . . , Labouring Population of Gr w eat Britain.) The following examples are adverted to as to the efficiency of preventive measures, furnished by the naval medical service : So dreadful was once the condition of the navy that, in the year 1726, when Admiral Hosier sailed with seven ships of the line to the West Indies, he buried his ships' companies twice, and died himself of a broken heart. Amongst the pictures then presented, as in Anson's Voyages, 1740-44, were those of deaths to the amount of eight or ten a-day in a moderate ship's company; bodies sown up in hammUcks and washing about the decks, for want of strength and spirit on the part of the miserable survivors to cast them over board. Dr. Johnson, in the year 1778, thus describes a sea life :—" As to the sailor, when you look down from the quarter-deck to the space below, you see the utmost extremity of human misery; such crowding, such filth, such stench I" " A ship is a prison, with the chance of being drowned,—it is worse, worse in every respect; worse air, worse food, worse company. Dr. Wilson, in his preface to the " Medical Returns," observes that, within the limits of the South American- command, the Centurion, ex actly a century ago, lost in a few weeks 200 out . of 400 men by scurvy. During the years from 1830 to 1836, the British squadron employed in South America, lost by diseases of every descrip tion only 115 out of 17,254 men. - The mortality of the home force ships em ployed chiefly in harbour duty, &c. (where of .course they were not cut off from communication or means of infection from the shore), in Great Britain and :Ireland, gives the rate of mortality obtainable by sanitary means, even now con fessedly imperfect especially 'in ventilation, amongst a male population ranging *Om fifteen to fifty years of age, and may be taken as illus trative of the amount of health attainable on shore. In 1830 the deaths in the navy from disease in dependently of external causes were— Disease, All Causes, per 1,000. per 1,000. - 1830 8.7 1831 11.5 3.4 1832 .. 11.9 14.0 1833 7 . 9 1834 4.9 1835 • • 5.9 7.2 • 1836 • • 7.5 • • 9.5 Mr. Finlaison has lately calculated that the deaths on shore out of 1,000 of the population of twenty-nine years of age may be estimated at about 12 per annum. Mr. Rickman calculated that the deaths at that age in Essex and Rut land would be about 12f persons per 1,000 per 'annum : for the metropolis it would be about 15f deaths. Out of 1,000 workmen in the Go vernment dock-yards, the number of deaths were 15; and hitherto in the metropolitan police force, which is more select than the navy, the number of deaths appear to be about 9 per annum ; but about the same number of men is annually invalided from the force. The propor tion of deaths amongst the troops appears to be, amongst the household cavalry, 14'5, amongst the dragoons 15.3, amongst the depot, 18.5, and amongst the foot guards 2111 Since the Guards have been in Canada the rate of mortality has been reduced to that of other regiments. the health of the foot guards is believed to be affected by peculiar circumstances. As respects soldiers, by proper care, such epi demics as typhus, scarlet fever, are now scarcely known 'as affecting large groups in the army, and such an occurrence would denote to the chiefs of the army medical board the existence of some great neglect into which it would be ne cessary to make inquiry. ' HER MAJESTY.—It is expected that her Majesty, Ptince Albert, and the Court, will arrive at Buckingham Palace from Scotland in the course pf Monday neat. THE LATE DR. MAGINN. (From the Examiner.) The late Dr. Maginn, we are sorry to hear, has left a wife, a son, and two daughters, utterly unpro vided for. Surely, if ever there was a case in which. the gift of a ;mall pension from Government would receive the sanction and grateful acknowledgment of men of all parties, this is that case. It would be but a decent tribute to great wit, admitted learning, many and various talents, and some generous qualities— however sadly misused, according to our ways of thinkin g , these may all have been. We believe Sir Robert Peel to be above mere narrow party views in a case of this kind, or we would remind him of Dr. Maginn's services to those who placed him in power. They were faithful, unswerving, and zealous to the last. (From Mr. Oastler's Fleet Papers.) Again the mournful, deep-toned knell of death smites upon my ear, and tells me that another friend of mine is numbered with the dead. Yes, my kind friend Magnin is gone ! The talented, learned, and facetious Dr. Maginn, is, alas ! no more. His spirit has quitted its prison. house of clay, and winged its flight into the regions of an eternal world Had I not been sent to this place in all probability I should never have known that justly celebrated man. His brilliant genius and sparkling wit had often en livened my prison hours, and afforded me a rich in tellectual repast : his deep store of learning rendered him a most delightful and instructive companion ; and his peculiar facility of communicating that know ledge to others which he so eminently possessed gave a zest to his " chatterings" (his own expression) which enjoyment could alone appreciate. Often have I been fascinated by the power of his imagination while attending to his verbal reveries. It was as though the richest streams of bOok knowledge were shedding their luxuriant droppings on the listen ing ear from the lips of thoughtfulness and deep ex perience. On such occasions the stores of ages were served out by him for my instruction and amusement in tones so winning and attractive that the time has often gone ere I was, aware that one-half the rapid moments had sped their hasty course. His quickness of perception—the concentration and clearness of his ideas—his acuteness of thought—his wonderful memory—his rich and apt quotations—his ready and lively wit, united with a beauty and even juvenile simplicity of language, charmed me into an enthusiastic admiration of the man. I shall not soon forget the pleasures which I have derived from his society —never, the sage lessons which he taught me. Dr. Maginn's politics were in unison with my own. They were all of the Saxon school. Such talents, united with such principles, I have rarely, if ever, found. But he is gone—l shall hear his voice no more ; his form is vanished from my view. No more will the splendour of his genius shed forth its reful gent rays within my cell—yet the remembrance of the past is sweet and refreshing; and it is a conso lation to know that I was sometimes a comfort to poor Maginn. The Doctor's death is a public loss ; and as such it ought to be regarded by every scholar and by every patriot. But our sympathies are also urgently re quired on behalf of his disconsolate widow and father less children, who are left entirely unprovided for. It is a melancholy truth, that Dr. Maginn's last days were rendered doubly afflictive by the hard hand of pressing want ! And will the Tories, whose cham pion he was, pay no tribute to his worth ? Can they, whose cause he so long and so ably advocated, disre gard the claims of his bereaved family, whose only hope and support he was, and by whose death they are plunged into a state of painful destitution ? It would be a reproach to the Tory party to suppose them capable of such indifference and neglect towards the widow and orphans of one who, during his life time, so constantly and so ably defended their consti tutional principles. Sir Robert Peel is known to be the patron of science and literature—he cannot withhold a tribute to such talent as Maginn's. ' All men of learning and genius will honour them selves by aiding those who are left their pensioners. Let then the State, and the State's best friends, with out a moment's delay, do that which humanity and justice urge on them now, and take immediate care that the family of Maginn shall know no want. During his lifetime I urged him to allow me to make a public appeal on his behalf. I wished to raise a fund to enable him to try a warmer climate— , his pride forbade me. That I was some comfort to my friend is a consola tion to me—that I may be of service to his family is , now my hope. Where is the man, of any party, who would grudge if the State should provide for the bereaved of Maginn ? The Doctor died on the 20th of August, 1842, and his remains were buried in the churchyard of Walton . upon-Thames. FRENCH AFRICA, A dispatch was received by . the Government on Saturday from the 'governor-General of Algeria, dated Algiers, 27th tilt., and enclosing a report from Chef de Bataillon du Courthial, the Commandant of Bugia, giving an account of an affair with the Ka byles, :near that place. The dispatch of General Bugeaud communicates no other information than the fact of his having heard from General Negrier, who had arrived at Algiers from Bugia, that the loss of the Kabyles was even greater than that stated by M. du Courthial. The report is dated Bugia, August 2G. After announcing that the Marabout Si-Kerdoud had assembled the chiefs of several tribes in the market place of Oulad-ou-Cabas, and preached to them with great vehemence, promising success in an attack upon Bugia on the 25th, the report says :—" On the morn ing of the 25th, at five o'clock, signals were made from all the blockhouses of the presence of the enemy and shortly afterwards several of the block houses opened a sharp fire of infantry. I had for some days past expressly recommended to the ar tillery to fire only grape shot in the first in stance, and that only when the enemy should be with in a distance of about 250 metres, reserving the shot and shells for his retreat. The infantry had also been ordered to reserve their fire until the enemy should be close at hand. These orders were punctually ob served. At the moment when the lslzaias came down from their mountains, and attacked our blockhouse, hordes of horsemen and foot debouched from the Col of the Elisis or from the elbow of the river, and moved in all directions, placing themselves in ambuscade in the ravines, the brush-wood, and along the coast, near the blockhouse Soloman and the crenelated These two posts, however, which were in the com mand of officers of tried bravery, did not, in com pliance with my orders, open their fire until, the enemy was within half-gun shot. This silent but firm demeanour, no doubt, awed the assailants, for the corps, which were led by officers richly clothed and mounted on most active horses, moved on to wards the Foss blockhouse, which had been hotly attacked by those who came from the top of the plain of Mzaias. The firing at this point commenced at nine o'clock, and was kept up with vigour for several hours. I then saw that the moment for striking a decisive blow was arrived. I consequently ordered a mountain howitzer with GO infantry and 4,000 cartridges to be sent down to this point. Lieu tenant Carpentier, who had the command of the artil lery at this place, a brave and intelligent officer, re solved to take the direction of the operation, although he had been four days ill of the fever. The detach ment marched at a quarter before 10 o'clock, the crenelated building and the Rapatel blockhouse send ing their shot upon the Kabyles, who endea voured to impede the march of the detachment. A severe engagement thereupon took place at the very gate of the blockhouse, but the artillery of the crene lated building, and the Clausel and Rapatel block houses showered grape shot and balls upon the enemy, with such effect that he was compelled to abandon his attack upon the Foss blockhouse, and retreat in double quick time to the plain. In a few minutes, the whole of these hordes, so threatening in their aspect, dis persed as by enchantment, and by half-past eleven o'clock, there was an end of the affair. The enemy cannot have lost less than 100 men in killed and wounded. We had only four wounded, one of whom was Lieutenant Carpentier, who received a ball through the calf of his leg. The assailing force may be estimated at 5,000 foot and 600 horse. The Foss blockhouse was attacked by between 800 and 900 men, and the assault lasted three hours. ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLOEICELTIMAL SOCIETY. —The grand autumnal dahlia and miscellaneous flower show of the above society Was held on Tuesday, in the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The extreme fineness of the weather, added to the announcement that the pre sent exhibition would be the last this season, contributed to render it one of the most successful since the esta blishment of the Society, and the various specimens of flowers, fruit, and vegetables, were generally admitted to be far superior to those shown at the corresponding period last year. Seventy-two prizes were awarded on this occasion, and the floral productions were taste fully arranged (in marquees erected about the grounds) under the superintendence of Messrs. Cuming and War wick. The gates were opened to the public at one o'clock, and at half-past three his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived, accompanied by his Aide de-Camp, and was conducted through the various tents by Mr. Cuming, the h on orary secretary to the Soci e ty, and Mr. Cross. His Royal Highness expressed hi mse lf much gratified with the exhibition, and entered into con versation with several of the competitors. The D uc h ess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Knesebeck, arrived at the gardens about four o'clo c k, and, having joined the Duke, the Royal party aga i n ' paraded the tents, the band striking up the nat i onal anthem. The collection of roses exhibited by M r . P aul , of Cheshunt, attracted particular notice, and his Royal Highness was pleased to accept from Mr. R. J. Chap - :lain a basket of hothouse grapes fur which a silver medal had been awarded by the judges. Thei r R oya l High nesses afterwards viewed the menagerie of wild aninals, and left the gardens shortly after five o'clock, STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) There was a fair demand for yarn yesterday, at steady prices ; but the amount of business done Was limited by the extent to which the spinners of counts suitable to the Russian market are now under con- tract. The present state of the yarn market is, in deed, very fortunate for those parties whose spinners are at work, but whose looms are standing; for they are generally enabled to dispose of their produce on tolerably satisfactory terms, and, to a great extent, ill the state in which they can most conveniently deliver them to the merchants—namely, in the shape cf warps and weft. For some time past, the export of warps► in lieu of reeled yarn, has been upon the increase; and we understand that, during the present year, that in' crease had, been so rapid as to attract the attention of the deputies of the Prussian League, who have dis cussed the propriety of imposing an additional duty upon yarn in that shape. Of weft, too, in the form of " pincops," there has been, and still is, a consi derable export to Germany ; owing, we believe, in ll' great degree, to the excessive drought by which Ger many has been visited during the present summer , and which has greatly impeded the working of the mills moved by water. Owing to this demand, and the recent general stoppage of the factories, - mule yarn would have been decidedly scarce at the prOseot time, had it not been for the additional quantity thrown upon the market by the stoppage of the - power-looms. Water twist is, however, more plentiful in the market, and rather more difficult of sale than for two or three weeks previously. With respect to goods there is no material change in the market ; the buyers generally holding off as much- as possible , until the weavers are at work. In one or two descriP' tion of goods, and particularly in long cloths , suitable for the Levant trade, there was a rather, better demand yesterday, and at slightly imprm recl, prices ; but most other kinds were rather flatter, ai tar in some few cases, a slight decline was submitted .to by parties desirous of making sales. On the whole , • however, the market was quiet. We regret to till; nounce the failure of Mr. Richard Roberts, one 0 , 1 the Directors of the Bank of Manchester, who stopped payment on Saturday last. This failure, howeveri was too generally expected to produce any matc;riol effect upon the market. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, S WT. 19 1 —Flannels have been much inquired for-t6-day, a?, the merchants have bought very freely at the 010. prices.
