SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We should not again have adverted to the great " Conservative" meeting—as it is denominated at Canterbury—did we not think that the exposures which take place in such assemblies are the precursors of Church Reform, and that by the instrumentality of the Winchilseas, Crofts, Rodens, Suttous, Sprys, and Russells, this great and important measure will be considerably expedited. The declared intention of this meeting was to commemorate the declaration to the Bishops of the Sovereigns " firm determination to preserve the principles of the Protestant religion in. Church and State." Passing over the effusions of the Noble Chairman, that " Seraph Abdiel" of ascen dancy, " amidst the faithless faithful only he" (Globe, September 27th), we shall at once advert to the speech of the venerable Archdeacon Croft, when the healths of the Metropolitan and the Clergy of the diocese were given. Here was a wide field for the venerable son-in law of the late Primate ; and we certainly did expect to hear of some of the blessings which had attended the labours of the parochial clergy, and how their flocks had multiplied since " the Roman Catho lic chain of religion, tarnished and disfigured by the rust of ages, had been beautified by Protestantism, freed from corruption, and relieved from the rust which had accumulated upon it, rendering it again the original chain" (speech of W. 0. Hammond, Esq.) ; but the original chain, we found, was what it was in the time of Becket, though not exactly of the same ore—Peter's pence. The " loaves and . fishes" —not the principle of the Protestant religion—it seems, are in danger. The venerable Archdeacon trusted that the Archbishop, (a blessing from whose lips, Mr. Hammond declared, was far more gratifying than the soft tones of the organ in the Cathedral), would have " the firmness to resist that spirit of reform which threatened their noblest institutions with ruin. The present Ministers, under pretence of benefiting the Church, had attempted to interfere with its REVENUES. Attempts would be made, in the next session of Parliament, to interfere with the revenues of the Church, in compliance with the desire of infidels, and to please some tithe-payers and land lords ;" and the Venerable Archdeacon is therefore delighted to see himself " surrounded by men attached to the Church (all links in the same chain) —who knew that it was distinguished by the noblest of all principles—a devotion to true Christianity. ." We trust that this great dignitary's anticipations will be rea lized—that the Ministers will not only attempt to inter fere, but will legislate so as to save the noblest institu tion from ruin, by a more just and equitable appro priation of its revenues. Perhaps the inhabitants of Canterbury will be the first to rejoice in such salutary reform. " The endowments of the Church (says an intelligent writer) are property given for a special pur pose—they are the subjects of a great trust for the maintenance and service of religion ; and if by time, or accident, or neglect, or by use or improvement of property, or increase of population, any material impediment shall have arisen to prevent the due performance of this trust, it is the clear right and bounden duty of the Legislature to enforce its faithful execution." And now let us see—how the Roman Catholic chain being tarnished, the rust has been removed in the good city of Canterbury. In this city there are sixteen parishes, all of which, save one (St. George's, which the Conservative dignitaries there fore preserve for one of their own body), do not average 1001. per annum each, containing a population of more than 20,000 souls. The Prebendaries, twelve in number, have only a month's duty each, for which they receive 9001. a year, exclusive of their other preferments. In Catholic times, " when the rust and moth did corrupt," these dignitaries were monks, who prayed by the sick—attended daily (not monthly) in performing the mass and other sacred duties at the cathedral. All these duties, of praying, &c., are now performed by the poor incum bents, who enjoy the internal satisfaction attendant on their " devotion to true Christianity," while the rich possessors of the revenues of the re ligion tarnished and disfigured by the " rust of ages," are connected with no poor who " look up to them for protectors and guides, have no sick or dying to pray with, no children to catechise, no flock towards whom the sympathies and affections of a pastor can be called forth." If by time or accident any material impedi ment shall have arisen, and it is the duty of the Le gislature (in despite of a Crofts, or Sutton, or Daw son) to enforce its faithful execution, we trust it will be so enforced, and even with some of those whom the Archdeacon is so rejoiced to see around him, and wilt are so devoted to the principles of Church and State, to true Christianity. For instance, time or accident has destroyed the Church of Orpington, which is, therefore, asinecure, and held by the Rev. Prebendary Dawson (one of the Canterbury Conservatives), who is, moreover, Rec tor of Chislehurst, in Kent, and Rector of All-Hallows, in the city of London. Orpington is only about 401. or 50/. a year, but the tithes are held on lives, and on the drop of any life, a large bonus goes into the funds (not of Queen Anne's bounty, which it should do, to augment small livings and build parsonage houses), but into the pocket of the said dignitary, who has already received one fine of two thousand pounds. Again—" time or accident " has so increased the population of Bishopsgate and Mary-la-Bonne, that the Reverends Dr. Russell and Spry might, one would think, be as much devoted to " true Christianity," and acting up to the principles of the Protestant Religion in Church and State, by residing among their numerous flocks, with incomes of 2,000/. and 3,0001. a year, as eating dinners, making speeches, or slumbering in their stalls at Can terbury.* We could go on ; but perhaps our readers will think these two specimens of the Represen tatives of Church and State a sufficient demonstra tion of our position, that the exposure of the corrup tions of the Church, which is sure to take place at these and similar meetings, will be a stimulus to the Ministry (in despite of the denunciations of the Ve nerable Dr. Crofts, son-in-law of the late Primate of England, the Right Rev. Father in God C. Manners Sutton, Archdeacon of Canterbury, Prebendary of ditto, Rector of Cliffe at Hone, Rector of Saltwood, in Hythe, whether in compliance with the wishes of infidels or others), not only to attempt, but to reform the abuses of the Church, and more especially those in the Hierarchy. We cannot pass over one or two more of these exhibitors, who are devoted to true Christianity—Dr. Bayley, Prebendary of Canterbury, Vicar of Margate, Rector of Wilmington ; Rev. T. Manners Sutton, Subdean and Canon Residentiary of Lincoln, Rector of Great Chart, Rector of Tunstal. These are some of the great " preservers of the principles of the Pro testant religion in Church and State. " Reform it altogether ! " We shall return to the subject ;- when we hope to illustrate the declaration of the Honourable Member for East Kent, Sir E. Knatchbull, " that the Church Establishment was maintained for the people alone ; " that is, that it ought.to be.---Morning Chronicle. Among . the reforms promised the country by the present Administration (for the present, and that of which Earl Grey was at the head, are in this respect one ), was a thorough routing out of Corporation ar chives, and the multifarious abuses of which many of these bodies had long been the chosen and indulged possessors. Asa•preliminary to this necessary and wished-for cleansing of this modern augean stable, a whole tribe of Barristers were last year appointed, under a Parliamentary Commission, to examine and re port upon what they . should find defective. The last year's long vacation, it may be remembered, was occu pied in this research ; the results of which have not hitherto come to light, but have been looked for till ex pectation seems actually to have died of its own sus pense, and the subject seemed nearly forgotten. On a sudden, however, the Committee of the London Common Council has recalled the subject into existence, and the Lord Mayor, if we mistake not, seems likely to end his hitherto peaceable reign in a tempest, owing to an apparent unwil lingness to give effect to this dormant inquiry. As his Lordship appears, as far as his pro ceedings hitherto have come to our knowledge, to be a • When it comes to the turn of a Prebendary to be Vice- Dean and Treasurer, he is obliged to reside the whole twelvemonth at Canterbury. The benefit of such non-resi dent on his cure of some 100,000 souls has already been expe rienced by Dr. Spry's " flock " at Mary-la-bonne. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1834. RIGOUR OF MAHOMMEDANISM. About twelve years since a person who had violated the law, proceeded to the palace, and, in the presence of the King, stated his crime, and demanded just ice according to the Koran. The singularity of an individual appearing as his own accuser, induced the King to direct him to be driven away. The man appeared the following day with the same tale, and was again turned out. He repaired a third tune to the palace, repeated his sins, and upliraided the King for his remissnefs in declining to dispense justice, which, as a believer of Mahommed he intreated that it might lead to his punishment in this world instead of the next. The Ulema, or congress of divines, was assembled : death was the punishment ; and the man himself, who was a Moollah, was prepared for this decision. He was condemned to be stoned till dead. He turned his face to Mecca, and, drawing his gar ment over his head, repeated the kuluma (" There is but one God, and Mahommed is his pro phet I"), and met his fate. The King was present, and threw the first stone ; but he had instructed his officers to permit the deluded man to escape, if he made the attempt. When dead, the King wept over his corpse, ordered it to be washed and bu ried, and proceeded in person to the grave, over which be read the funeral service. It is said that he was much affected ; and to this day verses commemorate the death of this unfortunate man, whom we must either pronounce a bigot or a madman.—An incident similar to the above happened within this very year. A son who had cursed his mother appeared as a suppliant for justice, and his own accuser. The mother solicited his par don and forgiveness ; the son demanded punishment ; the Ulema directed his death, and he was. executed as a criminal in the streets of Bokhara. A merchant lately imported some pictures from China, which were immediately broken, and their value paid by the Go vernment ; since it is contrary to the Mahomedan laws to make the likeness of anything on the earth be neath.—On some subjects their notions of justice are singular. An Afghan plundered a caravansarai, and was sentenced to die; but permitted to purchase his blood according to the law if he exiled himself from Bokhara, because he was a foreigner. Before the arrangement had been completed a second robbery oc curred by a party of the same nation ; the clergy di rected their death ; and since they thought that the punishment of the first offender, together with the others, would present a more salutary and impressive example, they returned the blood-money, cancelled the pardon, and executed all the offenders.—Burns's Travels into Bokhara. At Chertsey fair pigs were a complete drug, unsale able at any price. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, SEPT. 27. man of humanity and good sense, and as such has passed through nearly eleven months of his Mayoralty with tolerable eclat, we should regret to see his laurels tarnished at last by any indisposition to forward the cause of Corporation reform, especially should this be attempted, as it is insinuated to be, by anything re sembling a trick. It is unfortunate for the credit of that body, but we fear indisputably true, that all resist ance to reform has of late years uniformly come from the Court of Aldermen, many of whom, after having found their way to the Bench as flaming patriots, full of professions, have afterwards turned out to be the ready slaves of power, and the patrons of every abuse. We speak generally, and have no wish to particularise, especially as most of our readers can want no proofs of the truth of what we say. But would the present Court of Aldermen repudiate any share in this asser tion, or would the Lord Mayor especially leave office with the character of credit which he has maintained during the greater part of its continuance, they must one or both lose no time in giving effect to an inquiry which seems intended to be put in abeyance, if not actually sti fled by the present reluctance at all to aid in the develope ment of the labours of which we last year heard so much. While we speak as we feel on the score of Corpora tion abuses, we are far from being insensible to the many advantages which have flowed from them, and which they are capable of dispensing ; but while pri vate interests and personal privileges are allowed to stand in the way, not only of general benefit, but of full and free investigation, nothing like general satis faction can prevail, but on the contrary a degree of suspicion will exist for which there may in the end turn out to be no adequate foundation. If we under stand the matter rightly between the Lord Mayor and the Corporation Committee of the Common Council, it is that the latter are desirous of enabling chat class of the Commissioners who undertook the London duty to make their report. This, if there is nothing to conceal, no one should oppose. If there is anything to conceal, or any personal privileges and advantages which would be better away, it is the interest and the duty of all who do not partake of them more strenu ously to contend against. We repeat that we should be sorry to see the Lord Mayor go out of office under any thing like a cloud of unpopularity, but still more sorry to see a long, expensive, and important inquiry rendered abortive by any manoeuvre among its oppo nents.—Morning Herald. The public has for some time been aware of the in tention of his Majesty's Ministers to get rid of Mr. C. Grant, the President of the Board of Control, by pro moting that gentleman to the office of Governor-Ge neral of India, and of the alacrity (if, in speaking of the. President of the Board of Control, one may use that word without incurring the imputation of too ma licious an irony) with which that generally drowsy gentleman has manifested his readiness to accept the arduous, important, and very lucrative appointment. We have said that the office of Governor-General of India is lucrative, and this is enough to ac count for the willingness of Mr. C. Grant to un dertake its duties. We have said that those du ties are arduous and important, and have thus rendered sufficiently intelligible the surprise, alarm, and disgust with which the report of Mr. C. Grant's intended appointment was received by the world at large, and the repugnance to that mea sure which has always been understood to exist in the minds of those who have thee deepest and most immediate interest in the welfare and security of our Indian empire. The facts, however, whatever may be their proper explanation, are incontestible, that his Majesty's Ministers intend to send out the President of the Board of Controul to assume the Government of India, and that the Directors of the East India Company know the President of the Board of Con troul too well to concur willingly in that intention. We are not stating what we now state at random, but are fortunately enabled to establish our assertions by re ferring to documents and proceedings of the most grave, authentic, and deliberate character. A Special Meet ing of the Court of Directors of the East India Com pany was held on Friday last at the East India House, for the purpose of taking into their consideration the appointment of a new Governor-General of India, in the place of Lord William Bentinck, who has resigned, and is expected very soon to return to this country. There was a very full attendance of Members of the Court, which, after remaining in deliberation upon this important subject for four hours, came to the following significant and decisive Resolutions : " Resolved—That, referring to the appointment which has been conferred by the Court, with the approbation of his Ma jesty, on Sir Charles T. Metcalfe, provisionally to act as Governor-General of India upon the death, resignation, or coming away of Lord William Bentinck ; and adverting also to the public character and services of Sir Charles T. Met calfe, whose knowledge, experience and talents eminently qualify him to prosecute successfully the various important measures consequent on the new Charter Act, this Court are of opinion that it would be inexpedient at present to make any other arrangement for supplying the office of Governor-General. " That the said opinion be communicated to his Majesty's Ministers through the President of the Board of Controul for the affairs of India." It will be seen from the terms of the first of these resolutions, that some " other arrangement for supply ing the office of Governor-General' had been pro posed to the Court of Directors. This is evident enough, for no Court of Directors, whether of the East India Company or of any other, would think of denouncing as inexpedient a course which had never been suggested to them. What the suggestion was which the Court of Directors thought it their duty thus to repel, and from what quarter it proceeded, the na tion is already sufficiently aware. And we may con fidently add that the nation, fully cognizant of the me rits of the case, will feel that upon this occasion the Directors of the East India Company have acquired a new claim to its confidence, respect, and gratitude. It yet remains to be seen whether his Majesty's Government" will attempt to force upon the Direc tors of the East India Company a Governor-Ge neral of India " whose public character and services " have not, like those of Sir Charles T. Metcalfe, acquired the confidence of that intelligent body, and " whose knowledge, experience, and talents" do not, in their judgment, " eminently qualify him to prosecute successfully the various important measures consequent on the new Charter Act." In former days it would have been concluded without hesitation that an appointment, resisted as the appointment of Mr. C. Grant is resisted, must have been instantly aban doned. But when it is considered how many Minis terial promotions and exchanges may probably be con tingent upon the completion of tile arrangement for disposing of Mr. C. Grant, and with how much re luctance the Whigs who were to be benefitted by the move will relinquish their expectations, the public will naturally anticipate more than ordinary pertinacity, on the part of Government, on this occasion.—Morn ing Post. The late Tory meetings in England and Ireland do not more strongly show the folly arid violence of those that attended them, than the prudence of those who kept away from them. Indeed, looking at them as exhibitions in which the more sensible and distin guished Conservatives would not take a part, we think them creditable to the Tories generally. A Russian medal in commemoration of a victory bears the motto, " I was there;" the Tory chiefs of England and Ire land may in honour of their discretion adopt the emphatic allusion in the negative, " I was not there." The Duke of Wellington was not at Canterbury. Next to seeing the good which men will do, is the satisfaction of see ing the evil from which they will refrain ; and the persons who go all lengths in faction have uninten tionally rendered service, in conspicuously marking out those who will not accompany them. Even violence hai it use in thus testing the temperance of others. It is clear that it is the very madness of the Tory party which rushes before the public in such meetings as those of Kent and Cavan. To enter into any criticisms on their ravings would be like arguing with the yells of a bedlamite. What can be thought of men who impute to the present Ministry the purpose of destroying the Protestant religion in Ireland ? Can any man in his senses above the condition of the most ignorant believe in such a design ? Is there any one of common intelligence and common political information who is not convinced, that in the reform of the Irish Church, Ministers are reluctant labourers, much more likely to fall short of what public opinion demands than to exceed it ? and in public opinion there is nothing so unnatural as hostility to the Protestant religion in the sister country, but there is a very settled resolution to abate the abuses which are a scandal to the establish ment, and detrimental to its sacred objects. It is vain to make a fierce stand in defence of the disproportioned revenues of the Irish Church, and to confound riches with religion, while the fact is before the eyes of the whole world that the wealthiest Protestant Church exists amongst the most miserable people. Its wealth is now indeed in great part a name, for the revolt of A nation has refused the substance ; and in this revolt, in the pernicious causes of exasperation, which set a people against the law, and gave them a triumph over the law, we see the most conclusive evidence of the mischievous working of the over-sized and over-en dowed Protestant establishment in Catholic Ireland. This cannot longer be : the evil has reached the utmost point of sufferance, and it must and will be abated. Indeed, as sensible churchmen now see that the unre formed establishment of Ireland is the foremost danger instead of the foremost defence of the Church of England, the man who would cling to the Irish Church as it is for the safety of the Eng lish Church, would, by way of a life-preserver against drowning, or cork jacket, wear a mill-stone round his neck. The vessel must be lightened, and we hardly speak metaphorically when we say that the guns must be thrown overboard. It is all in the ardent character of Lord Winchilsea to declare that the House of Peers may fall and will fall in the defence of those abuses which he identifies with the Constitution, but in good season the Lords will ask thethselves what is to be gained by covering themselves with the ruins of an in defensible system. If it be an evil to lose the sinecure excess of the Irish Church, we cannot see how the Peers would improve the matter by involving their own Chamber in the ruins. Lord Winchilsea very trip pingly declares himself prepared to fall, but men of cooler thoughts will ask what statesman-like purpose is to be accomplished by falling, and will come to the conclusion that, happen what may to the superfluities of the Irish Church, it will be better for the Lords to avoid any share in the disaster. The House of Lords feeling the value of its authority will stand clear of falling systems, and make better use of itself than to perish along with them. " I will die with you" is a very pretty sentiment for a play or a Canterbury tale ; but in politics. it is a very silly promise for one of the Estates of the empire to make to a pet abuse. At Canterbury the harmony of the absurdity was com plete. The object of the meeting and the harangues were worthy of each other. The commemoration of a declaration alleged to have been made by the King, in the very teeth of the Councils of his Government, is a high farce. How is the declaration authenticated ; andby a little addition in the kindly warmth of his Ma jesty's expressions, and by a little colouring of the Right Rev. reporter, may not the customary speech for the yearly occasion have been dressed up into the speech of a monarch preparing himself for martyrdom? Of this we are certain, that the King will henceforth be cau tious as to the words he drops in his audience of the Bishops, after the political use which has been so indelicately made of his cordial and complimentary language. The Cavan meeting was to the Canterbury what Irish violence is to English extravagance. The Orangemen were not preparing, like Lord Winchilsea, for falling, but blustering of fighting. All these men will, however, be much better than their words. Time brings no views of extremities. At Dublin the Orange men, through their mouthpiece, Mr. Beresford, threa tened the extermination of the Catholics ; at Cavan they talked as if in danger of being them selves exterminated. One moment they are mighty and can carry all before them, and the next they are in fear for their lives and crying out for sympathy and help. One word applies to all the pretences—fudge. It would be a waste of time, space, and patience to give a particular account or specimens of the rant and ravings at Canterbury and Cavan, but we would re commend a passage in one of the speeches at the latter place to the attentive consideration of Mr. O'Connell, as it shows the uses which the Orange faction can make of his pernicious repeal agitation, and that he is furnishing arms to desperate enemies. He thinks to use the Orange faction to serve his turn, and they think to use the Repeal faction in the same way ; and, monstrous as both speculations are, that of the Orange men seems to be the better calculated, for any choice would be preferred to the disruption of international ties, and the anarchy which would be the offspring of the O'Connell ascendancy. " There are two courses upon which men of influence amongst us are in some degree divided. One is to join the enemies of Eng land in demanding the repeal of the union, which is another word for . separation. The other is to call on the English people for assistance against their enemies and ours. The former plan would, I admit, be far more effec tual with the present Government. You are aware, or ought to be aware, that, as Mr. O'Connell has often confessed, the repeal of the Union is absolutely in your hands. If you say it shall not be repealed, Mr. O'Connell and his allies may to the end of time ex haust their lungs, or shoulder their bayonets, to effect it in vain. If, on the other hand, you join the Ro man Catholic party—and if, at the next election, both together send from lielandlos members pledged to the repeal, no Government, no Parliament can prevent it. The advantage of this latter plan, which many Pro testants and Orangemen recommend, would be that you can drive the British Government in one moment, either before the repeal or after it, to a choice between friendship with you and the loss of Ireland ! and your justification for adopting it, if the Act of Union be essentially violated, will abundantly be found in the maxim Vat justitia :' but it is an anti-Anglican and an anti-Protestant experiment ; I do not like it ; I will never try it while one ray of hope or chance of English sympathy remains."— Times. William Stokoe, described as Captain of the 10th Regi ment of Native Infantry in the service of the Hon. East India Company, was opposed by Mr. CRESSWELL, on the part of William Dunn, Esq., of Moleworth-street, Dublin. He was supported by Mr. COOKE, with whom was Mr. WOODROFFE. It appeared that in January, 1823, the insolvent had mar ried a Miss Emily Dunn, the sister of the opposing creditor, at Dublin ; he admitted that he left her within four months of the marriage to go into "Wales for the benefit of hishealth, and had never seen her since. On the day of the marriage as he was stepping into the coach to go to church he said he signed a deed, but its precise nature he was ignorant of ; he believed it was to settle 1001. a-year on his wife ; he considered the settlement as a mere form ; he denied that he had represented himself to Mr. Dunn as worth 4,0001., or that he had proposed settling 2,000/. on his sister. In the year 1825 he joined his regiment in India, and was pro moted to the rank of Senior Captain ; he at present re ceived 1961. a-year, and was on leave of absence on the ground of ill health. In April, 1832, he arrived in Eng land, having saved 1,037/., which he deposited in the hands of certain bankers in India ; these agents failed, and he had only received 2s. 6d. in the pound on that sum. On his arrival in England be corresponded, after be had re covered from a severe illness, with some members of his wife's family, in order to effect a reconciliation, but was unsuccessful. He denied that he proposed 2,0001. for the consent of the relatives to a Scotch divorce. He was ques tioned whether he had not since his arrival in this country paid his addresses to a young lady at Fulham, and promised her marriage, with a settlement of 800/. a year. After much hesitation he admitted that he had been paying " at tentions" to the young lady, and was to marry her before the period of his embarkation for India, which was uncer tain. He denied the settlement, or that be had repre sented himself as a man of property ; he had, however, promised the father of the young lady to remit him 2,000/., which was to be effected out of his " savings." He was a subscriber to the Military Fund in India, and was entered as a bachelor. He said at his death Mrs. Stokoe would receive no income in consequence. He denied that he had paid his addresses to a young lady in India, and obliged to quit that country on that account. He came to England expressly to effect a reconciliation. He was now impri soned at the suit of Mr. Dunn for 1,100/., the arrears of the sum granted to his wife. He had never remitted her a shilling. He was arrested in July, on which day he re ceived 76/. as pay. He had a portion to pay into Court. Mr. Wm. Dunn stated that he was a solicitor. The in solvent had paid his addresses to his sister Emily ; his mo ther had interfered, and he called on him to exercise his in fluence. He stated himself to be worth from 3,0001. to 4,0001., and proposed to settle 2,0001. on his sister. He did interpose, and his addresses were permitted. He drew up the deed, which the insolvent executed, being perfectly aware of its contents. He also signed a warrant of at torney, and appointed him with his father trustees. Mr. Dunn described his neglect of his sister and the misery she had endured. He said a proposition was made to give 2,0001. if a Scotch divorce was consented to, but it was rejected. Mr. Treswell, a solicitor, spoke to makinc , the offer. In one of his letters to his client the insolventhe b described the solicitors of Dublin as " wholly destitute of knowledge and quite unfit for their situations ; they were a vile set." Mr. Henson, Lieutenant in the same regiment as the in solvent, said he was considered up to his leaving India as a single man. Mr. Thompson, a Lieutenant in the army, stated that the insolvent had paid his addresses to his niece at Fulham, had proposed marriage, and represented himself as possessed of property. He aid when he died his intended wife would have what he posssessed, and mentioned the sum of 20,000/. Some part of the evidence given by Lieutenant Thompson was objected to, and he was asked whether from his know ledge of the insolvent he would believe him on his oath ? He replied he would not. The insolvent was then questioned by his counsel, Mr. Woodroffe. He said he came to England to be reconciled to his wife. He wrote some affectionate letters to her, which were not answered. His presence was required in Dublin, but he was fearful of being arrested if lie went over. In reply to a question from Mr. Cresswell, he said that lie was paying his addresses to the young lady at Fulham while he was corresponding with his wife's family to effect a recon ciliation. The sum of 1501. was paid into court for the creditors. Mr. Cresswell spoke in aggravation. Mr. Cooke having replied at some length, The Learned Chief Commissioner gave judgment, and sentenced the insolvent to fifteen calendar months' imprison ment for fraudulently contracting the debt with Mr. Dunn, and that he be confined within the walls of the King's Bench Prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Sampson Thompson, a large hairy-headed man, was charged by a cobbler named Mike Donohan under the fol lowine, circumstances : The complainant stated that he was looking about for a lodging, when a man whom he knew, who lived in Still-alley, Shoreditch, gave him the key of a room in the same house, and in he walked with his traps, intending to be Punctual with the landlord. Next day, however, while his door was locked and he was in bed, the defendant came with a bludgeon, broke open the door, threw all the boots and shoes, bed, awl, lapstone, wax, cups, saucers, and plates bang out of the window down three stories. Not con tent with this cruelty, the defendant seized him by the shoulders and put him out of the room. The LORD MAYOR—And did he , do all this without provocation ? Complainant—l had nothing to do with him, and don't know what on earth he meant. The defendant said that he had been obliged to get rid of the complainant on a former occasion because the man never had any idea of paying. All he (defendant) asked of him was Is. a week, but that he could not get. He therefore was obliged to take the law in his own hands, and to empty the room, and put a new lock on the door. The LORD MAYOR—Is this one of the houses which are in a fallen state ? Defendant—Yes, my Lord, I have got eight of them, and I expect them to come down ; but I think they will last, most of them, for another month, if there an't much quarrelling in them.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word it is a desirable concern. Defendant—This man, as soon as I put him out of one of my houses, walked into another, but as it is not over safe I didn't object to it. I think myself that the one he is now in will all come down in a heap of dust one of these days, so he may stay there ; but he shan't come into the other without paying, and he owes me 3s. for three weeks' lodging already. The LORD MAYOR said that the City Surveyor must look at these respectable tenemeits. His Lordship told the complainant that he had no right to take up his abode in another man's house without permission of the landlord, and that the only way to get rid of such customers was to bundle them out, and let them bring their actions, if they could get attorneys to act for them. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Walker and his two sons, Alfred and Isaac, were placed at the bar before T. S. CONANT, Esq., charged with baying stolen a considerable quantity of lead, the property of Mr. Holland, a Magistrate of the county of Middlesex. From the evidence it appeared that the elder prisoner Walker had contrived to obtain possession of a large house, No. 84, Hertford -street, Mayfair, and after occupying it a considerable time, without paying any rent, it was at length discovered that be had been making away with a great por tion of the necessary fittings of the house. On Friday even ing a policeman of the C division, named Smith, perceived the two junior prisoners removing something from the pre mises, and having watched them he traced them into the shop of a marine store-dealer in Bedfordbury, to whom they were offering a quantity of lead for sale. The policeman interfered, and the result was that it was discovered a great quantity of lead and other property had been removed from the premises. The marine store-dealer stated that at dif ferent times he had purchased somewhat about th ree cw t. of lead from the junior prisoners , who represe n t e d th e i r father to have failed in business, and that the property be longed to him. In defence the senior prisoner asserted that it was his in tention to have replaced the fittings, &c., at a convenient op p o rtunity. All the prisoners were remanded, in order to procure the attendance of some necessary evidence. QUEEN- S QUARE. ASSAULT ON THE REV. ROBT. TAYLOR.—Mr. Richard Carlile, the publisher, of No. 62, Fleet-street, was charged with assaulting the Rev. Robert Taylor, Before Mr. Taylor was sworn, Mr. Carlile addressed the Bench, and said that on a trial in the Court of Common Pleas, " Benbow v. Orlon," Mr. Sergeant Andrews asked Mr. Taylor, who was one of the witnesses, whether he considered an oath binding, which he declined answering, and Chief Justice Tindal refused to hear his evidence. Defendant wished the question to be now put to the Reverend Gentleman. Mr. HOSKINS (to Mr. Taylor)—Do you believe in a future state of reward and punishment ? The Rev. Robert Taylor—l do. Mr. Taylor was then sworn, and stated that he lived at No. 421, Oxford-street. On Wednesday evening last he delivered a lecture at the Westminster General Scientific Institution, in Grosvenor -street, Milbank, on the " Im portance of Character." At the conclusion of the lecture, as ho was returning from the rostrum, Mr. Carlile came behind him and struck him a severe blow under the ear, from the effects of which he had not yet recovered. He gave the defendant no provocation whatever. Mr. Stratford, of Kensington, and a Mr. Cripps, con firmed the statement. Mr. Carlile, in reply to the charge, declared that he never lifted his hand against- a man before, nor should he have done so on the present occasion had not Mr. Taylor, in his lecture, made a most cowardly attack upon him. He could prove that Mr. Taylor delivered the lecture for the purpose of giving him offence, for he had avowed it. Two of defendant's friends called upon Mr. Taylor to dissuade him from delivering tho lecture in question, and he had pro mised to comply with their request ; yet he broke his word, and, after the lecture, he refused to hear defendant's reply to the attack he bad made upon him. With Mr. Taylor he had for years been on terms of the closest intimacy, and he had acted towards him like a brother. The provocation was so great that he certainly struck Mr. Taylor a blow. The Rev. Mr. Taylor—l beg to state that what Mr. Carlile says is not true ; I gaVehim no provocation. Mr. Carlile here wished to describe the nature of the provocation which he had received from Mr. Taylor ; but the Magistrates would not listen to it, and ordered Mr. Carlile to find bail ; but on Mr. Taylor wishing the Ma gistrates to act summarily with the case, they fined Carlile $l. and costs. The fine was instantly paid. Robert _Parker, a pianoforte-maker, was next charged with assaulting Richard Carlile, jun., the son of the late defendant. The case arose out of the late assault. Several witnesses were called for the defence, when it appeared that after the assault on Mr. Taylor he was taken into a private room by some of his friends, to which the complainant intruded himself', when the defendant, who had told him to go out, merely pushed him away. The Magistrates dismissed the case. BO W-STREET. Antonio Hoppe, a foreigner, was charged with vagrancy. Edwards, a policeman, stated that on Saturday morning he saw the defendant in Holborn, standing on the pave ment, and playing a barrel organ, which he repeatedly pushed against the persons who were passing, and shoved several of them off the pavement. Witness took him into custody after a desperate resistance on his part, and brought him and his organ to the station-house. Mr. MINHIuLL put several questions to the prisoner, who only replied by a shake of the head, and an intimation by signs that he did not understand English. A gentleman in the office spoke to him in the French, Spanish, German, and Italian languages, but the prisoner remained mute until Mr. Minshull again addressed him, when he was thrown off his guard, and said, in very good Eng lish, " I tell you I don't understand a word of your lan guage." The MAGISTRATE committed him for one month to the House of Correction, and ordered the organ to be sold to defray the expenses of his keep while in prison. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday a young man, named Jackson, was charged with stealing a quantity of plate from the dwelling-house of E. Edwards, Esq., one of the official assignees of the Bank ruptcy Court, residing at 34, Woburn-square. About twelve o'clock at noon, during the absence of the butler, the housemaid heard the plate rattle in the pantry, and becoming alarmed she ran up the area steps, exclaim ing " There are thieves in the house !" At the moment, Mr. G. Minter, of 33, Gerard-street, Soho, observed the prisoner dart out of the hall-door, upon which he gave chase and captured him. His hat and pockets were found to be stuffed with different articles of plate. The prisoner was at first very doleful, but in a short time he changed his tone and was very impertinent. Mr. Minter having remarked that notwithstanding he had tried so hard he could not shed a tear, the fellow answered, " Why, what's the use of cry ing when I an't got no viper ?—(A laugh.)—Committed. TVORSHIP-STREET. A masculine woman, named Elizabeth Toy, a pauper be longing to Bethnal-green, was charged with having broken the windows of Messrs. Palmer and Wire, the overseers of the parish. On Thursday last the prisoner was refused re lief by the Committee sitting at the workhouse. On the following evening she went to Mr. Palmer's house in the Hackney-road, and, although he was not at home, insisted upon having relief. Mrs. Palmer having advised her to call upon Aft-. Wire, the defendant said she would first be revenged upon Mr. Palmer, and accordingly smashed seven squares of glass, amounting to nineteen shillings. She then replenished her apron with stones, and made her way to the residence of Mr. Wire, who happened to be also from home. She threatened to " let fly" if her demand was not complied with, and on Mrs. Wire declaring her inability to relieve her, the vigaro broke four squares o glass. She was then taken into custody.—Committed for a month. UNION-HALL. Two chimney-sweepers, whose apprenticeship lately ex pired, were charged with a violation of the provisions of the new act. Miilyard, a master chimney-sweeper, said he heard the defendant crying sweep in the neighbourhood of the office. He informed against them for the benefit of the trade at large. One defendant said unless a chimney-sweeper had " connection" he must call out " sweep," or he would not earn salt to his porridge. The other defendant said that he tried the new Act, but found that it would not answer ; he walked about a whole week, until he wore the shoes off his feet, and never got a job. He then tried the experiment of knocking at people's doors, but generally had them banged in his face ; so then he had recourse to the old plan, and meant ,to stick to it rather than starve. Both defendants were fined ss. THAMES POLICE. William Mason, a boy about twelve years of age, a well known thief, was charged with burgiariously breaking into the ship Melbourne, a West Indiaman, lying in the West India Dock, and stealing a quantity of property. William Fiddles, the mate of the ship, stated that he left the vessel about four o'clock on Friday night, when all was safe on board. On his return, at half-past seven, he found that the ship had been entered by the skylight, and his chest broken open. His clothes were strewed about the cabin. Soon afterwards he found the prisoner in the custody of Roberts, the watchman. Roberts said that he found the prisoner stowed away in the closet of the vessel, shamming sleep. Close to him were the waistcoat and flute now produced. On a further search witness found that a dressing -case and a trunk had been broken open. He took the prisoner into custody. In answer to a question from Mr. Ballantine, the mate said he could swear to the flute and the waistcoat being the property of the captain. They were stolen out of the cabin. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and Mr. Bal lantine, remarking that there was no hope of him in this country, committed him for trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. " Thank you, governor," said young hopeful as he left the bar. Daniel Hart, a vile fellow, attired in the garb of a sailor, and Ann Wilson, were charged with being drunk and dis orderly, and creating a disturbance in the New Road, St. George's. Hart was also charged with committing a vio lent assault on his female companion, who appeared to have been most terribly punished. William Reeves, a policeman, said be met the prisoners that morning about two o'clock in a state of intoxication. They were swearing at each other and using the most abusive language. He begged them to desist, but they continued abusing each other, and Hart struck the woman a violent blow in the face, which felled her to the ground, and he afterwards kicked her in the mast savage manner. Witness took the fellow into custody, but when the woman had recovered from the ill-usage she made so much noise that he was compelled also to take her to the station house. Reeves, in answer to questions from the Magis trates, said that Hart was a notorious thief. The woman was the most troublesome character in the district, and she had been frequently committed to the House of Cor rection. Dennis Power, a police-sergeant, said that Hart had been living on the wages of the woman's prostitution for five months. He had been committed for trial on a charge of felony, and his sister, a hard-working girl, sold her bed to procure counsel for him, and through a defect in the evi dence he was acquitted. The ungrateful scoundrel after wards robbed his sister and went to sea. On his return he joined the company of the other prisoner, and from their robberies and brawls they were a terror to the district. Hart was committed for two months, and the woman for one month, to the House of Correction. ANECDOTE OF SIR HUMPHREY DAVY.-It was the custom of this scientific individual annually to visit Bally shannon (Ireland), merely to enjoy the fine fishing, for which which the river is so celebrated —a sport of which he was ex cessively fond. Having, after many fruitless attempts, owing to the inapplicability of his flies, for he was an excellent fisher, succeeded in landing a fine salmon, he called to his servant, and desired him to take it to his hotel. John reluctantly obeyed, for having no basket, he did not much relish conveying the fish in his hand. He had gone but a very short distance indeed from him of the safety-lamp notoriety, when he offered six pence to any one to do the business for him. Sir Humphrey hearing him, bawled out, " I'll take your money, sir." John apologized, begged pardon, and stammered an excuse. " No, no," says the master, " give me the sixpence, John—l insist on it," and took the fish from him, and walked with it in his hand through the street, the servant bowing and apologizing the whole way in momentary expectation of being dismissed. In this, however, the philosopher agreeably disappointed him ; he did not discharge him, but contented himself with depriving him of the sixpence, and lecturing him -freely on the folly of such preposterous conduct in a waiting man.
