SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Every day now serves more and more to show that the Tories had determined to resume the Goveriv2,-, en t of this country per fas aut nsfits. A tn',,re disgust ing exhibition than that which thi; nation has been compelled to witness, of inr,_=,n evincing a readiness to profess any opinions by which they conceive they may the more easily tact their despicable purposes, is not to be found in the annals of party profligacy:' The people of England are daily informed, by the supple and convenient organs of the Duke and his party, that it is extremely inopportune and injudicious in the Tories to adhere to their ancient political principles ; and their partisans are invited to af fect the liberal policy of the Reformers until the Duke of Wellington—the Lord Protector of these realms—and Sir Robert Peel shall have determined and announced the measures with which they may in tend to delude the country. The honour and integrity of public men—the confidence between the Sovereign and his sworn Councillors—are daily violated ; and the certain result of this scandalous and abandoned system of party is evident to every reflecting politi cian, and can only terminate in the early and complete extinction.of a desperate faction, which thus, in its last extremity, resorts to such base arts. We have daily the task of giving a direct contradiction to the most unfounded and unjustifiable assertions of the Tory press. An article in the Standard of last night we cannot allow to pass without a specific and direct con tradiction. If the assertions of the Standard, in volving private and confidential conversations between the King and his late Prime Minister, are derived from " authority," what is the position in which the Standard unhappily places his Majesty, his late, and his present confidential advisers ? If they are not derived from " authority," what credit is due to such hazardous and unjustifiable reports ? But the Stan dard is extremely wary and cautious, and disseminates these sinister rumours in the shape of " interrogatories." The Standard then ingeniously calls upon the Morn ing Chronicle to answer "authoritatively" the " seve ral interrogatories"—of whom ?—of the Standard writer—or his informant ? When the King, or his present sole and responsible Minister the Duke of Wellington, shall publicly iss ue a ser i es o f quest i ons or " interrogatories to the late Ministers, we do not doubt that they will be suitably answered. The Stan dard cannot suppose that he is entitled to call on any statesman to answer the interrogatories of an anony mous writer in a newspaper. Our contemporary is not entitled to put questions to Lord Melbourne or any other member of the late Cabinet ; but is entitled to put questions to us, and we can assure him that we will state nothing for which we have not sufficient autho rity. We take the paragraphs of the insidious article in question in their order, and give to each misrepre sentation of facts an unequivocal and positive contra diction : " First, then, we ask, Did Lord Melbourne present to the King Lord John Russell, Mr. Littleton, and Mr. Abercrom bie, in this order, as the persons eligible for the leadership of the jiouse of Commons ? " False. Lord Melbourne never did name to the King, Lord John Russell, Mr. Littleton, and Mr. Abercrombie for the leadership of the House of Com mons, in the order stated in the Standard. Mr. Lit tleton's name was never mentioned. 41 Secondly, Did the King observe upon this proposition that he had expected, seeing that Lord Althorp could not be pro- Aided for in the Ministry at present, some help would be bor rowed from the Conservative or other parties, remarking, at the same time, to the effect that Lord Althorp had supplied by his presence a principal part of his (the King's) ground of re liance.upon the stability of the Government ? " False. There was no such proposal made for strengthening the Administration. There was no such proposal made for supplying Lord Althorp's place. " Thirdly, Did his Majesty, again expressing dissatisfaction at the narrowed basis of the Government, ask What plan of policy such a Cabinet could or would (we are doubtful about the word)—pursue ?" The King did not express dissatisfaction, either with the basis of the Government, or the policy which it had pursued. Although the removal of Lord Al thorp (by the death of Lord Spencer) from the House of Commons " narrowed the basis" on which the Ministry was formed, the policy of the Government remained unaltered. " Fourthly, Did Lord NIELROURNE explain that the Cabinet designed to prosecute REFORM OF THE IRISH CHURCH—RE FORM OF TILE ENGLISH CHURCH—AND REFORM OF THE COR PORATIONS?" YES. " Fifthly [and we have now arrived at the most important matter]—Did Lord Melbourne, in proceeding to detail the nature of the reform intended, make any such statement as the following :—‘ Sir,—With respect to the reform of the Irish Church, I feel it my duty to inform you—that Lord John Russell has digested a plan containing, inter elia, a provision for extinguishing all traces of the Protestant Establishment in every parish in which a given number of Protestants are not now resident, either alienating or remitting the tithe, dismissing the clergyman, and razing the Church r' This is the most important falsehood. It is false as respects Lord John Russell, and false as respects the nature of the plan. " Sixthly—Did the King instantly reply, in the very words following —words we hope to be eternally remembered by British Christians,—' I WILL DIE FIRST I'?" False. No such words were ever uttered, and the " British Christians" are therefore deprived of this agreeable reminiscence. " Seventhly. Did Lord Melbourne thereupon declare that himself, the Marquis of Lansdown, Lord Auckland, and Mr. Spring Rice were as much indisposed to Lord John Russell's projects as his Majesty could be, but that all the other members of the Government fully approved of it ?" False. Lord Melbourne did not assert that any Member of the Cabinet differed on the subject of Church Reform. " Eighthly, Was it upon this that the King pointed to the impossibility of a Cabinet so irreconcileably divided upon a point of such magnitude, and a point that would certainly be pressed at the commencement of the Session, effectually carry ing on the publi c b us i ness to i ts close ?" False. There was no mention of a disuniteclCabinet ; no disunion existed. We have thus answered all the " interrogatories." And we have only to add, that we are quite satisfied it will not suit the parties for whose benefit these falsehoods are insinuated, to put them in a shape in which they can receive any other contradic tion than that which we give. They are old tricksters, and know how to mystify the public, without commit ting themselves. They have ready organs in the Times and other journals, to state whatever they wish the public to believe ; and they are crafty enough to know that they are not responsible either for what is said or believed on such authority.—MorningChronicle. The - Chronicle of yesterday produces a leading article--which in that particular respect is very like many others of its articles—full of contradictions. The peculiarity of this article is that it does not con tradict itself ; on the contrary, it professes to contra dict the "Postcript" to the Quarterly Revietti, just published. It appears that the Times of Wednesday, in republishing this " Postcript" called it an autho rized statement—why, we do not at the present mo ment see ; inasmuch as what appears in the Postcript had previously been published in the Morning Post followed by the Times itself. However, this word " authorized" has fired the Chronicle and disturbed the bear-garden ; and therefore the Chronicle takes this " Postcript," and to every paragraph, one by one, adds, by way of commentary, " this is false." Now, nothing is easier and nothing more com mon in very low society than to treat a statement made in this summary manner. But we must not allow the Chronicle to fancy, because it chooses to say " this is false," " this is entirely false," and " this is false altogether," that any body living believes in the falsehood of the assertions which in this brief and con • venient manner it thinks it well to get rid of. We state that the facts as contained in the postcript are essen tially true. It ma) be that a phrase or a word may be changed in the repetitions necessary for the promul gation of dialogues from the Palace to the people. But, as we have already shown in this paper, in oppo sition to the demi-semi official " Circular" which has been put forward, as it is iVerred, by Lord Melbourne, the spirit of the Brighton conversa tion, if not to the letter, is truly conveyed in the " Postcript," which the silly Chronicle so, coarsely and so rashly attempts to falsify. With respect to the degree of acquiescence of Lord Melbourne in his Majesty's views and sugges tions it may, perhaps, be expressed somewhat too strongly in the " Postscript." That Lord Melbourne acquiesced is most certain. We would ask the Chro nicle, puttinff aside it s nonsens i cal phrase of "posi tively,fase, which any fool may reply to any evident truth, whether A, T Melbourne did or did no t— an d we advice,",:ne Chronicle to go higher for its answer .flan the quarter whence these " positively false" ex clamations came—tell his Majesty that upon the sub ject of the Irish Church question nothing like unani mity could be expected in the Cabinet ? And whether his Lordship did not himself bring under the King's consideration the serious inconvenience and mischief of the result of the difference, which would exhibit itself in the circumstance of a portion of his Ma jesty's Ministers voting in their individual capacity as Members of Parliament against the ques tions whi c h h a d b een carried in the Cabinet ? To argue with the silly Chronicle is, perhaps, a work supererogation ; but it is necessary just to interpose something between common sense and common truth and those flourishing denunciations, in which, faut de inieux, it is now in the habit of in dulging. There is not a man moving in what may be called decent society who is not convinced of the truth of the statements which the Chronicle, rejoicing in the notion that the Quarterly Review is only pub lished four times in the year, has the audacity to con tradict. We go the length of appealing to Lord Mel bourne himself—not pledging ourselves to the mere phraseology which in conversation it is very difficult to retain—whether in substance, all that the Times, all that we ourselves, and all that the Quarterly Re • view have stated, is not as near the real truth as it is possible to bring such a report of any particular dia logue ? In conclusion, in order to gratify the Chro nicle by the adoption of its own style, and in order to evince our respectful disinclination to trench upon the domestic privacy of the King's Palace, we beg to state mo't distinctly that all the history about the gentleman of the Court, and the servant, and Sir Henry Wheat ley, &c. &c., is false, and the Right Honourable in valid who furnished the Chronicle with all this " false hood" knows it to be false, as well as we.—Morning Post. As soon as the proceedings of the first Session of the Central Court are over, and we can gain access to the result of the trials, we shall make a point, as we have heretofore done, of making known to the public the number of cases tried before each of the presiding Judges. The result, we fear, will turn out to be, as heretofore, that the City Judges will be found to have presided in a great majority of the cases ; and that though some of the prisoners will have witnessed the imposing spectacle of finding themselves arraigned be fore three of the King's Judges, and his Honour Sir John Cross, yet that the fact being that only one Judge presides in one case, the actual number of cases tried by these four Learned persons will turn out to have been very small. Yet while three of these four Learned persons are sitting by turns as silent specta tors of the labours of the fourth, a City Judge is in the adjoining Court, trying cases which, we humbly conceive, one of the Learned Judges in question ought to try. What would be the case, let us ask, if any two of these Learned Judges were on the circuit of any other county ? One at the outset, it is known, takes the criminal, the other the civil side, on such occasions ; and as soon as the latter has done, he invariably tries prisoners in the Criminal Court, and not unfrequently leaves the civil business un finished, that he may assist his brother Judge in delivering the gaol. Why a similar practice should not have taken place in a Court embracing the whole criminal business of the metropolis, and now a great part of that of three adjoining counties, we cannot imagine. It is true, we believe, that the Judges have, ever since the erection of the second Court at the Oid Bailey, uniformly declined presiding in it. What rea son there may hitherto have been for this we do not presume to surmise. At any rate, the new Act con stituting the New Court produces an altered state of things, and one to which with great respect towards the Judges, we must say, they are bound to conforM. Nor will this in the aggregate increase their labours ; for when it is considered that the Act, which adds four to the eight Sessions hitherto held at the Old Bailey, relieves the Judges in their turn from the labour and expense of the winter circuit, surely they cannot complain of having that to do at the Old Bailey which they must otherwise have had to do at Chelms ford, Maidstone, Croydon, Hertford, and Lewes. In short, what we contend for is, that the business of this Court should be assimilated as near as possible to that of the Assizes in other counties ; that the King's Judges should be the Judges in reality, not in name ; and that the duties of Corporation Judges should, both in the metropolis and everywhere else, be circum scribed, and not extended.—Morning Herald. Lord Melbourne's return to the seat in Derbyshire, whence he derives his title, and where a portion of his property is situate, was hailed by a most honourable reception from the freeholders and other inhabitants of the place, who presented an address expressive of their respect and attachment to the ex-Minister, of their re gret for his dismissal from office, and of their gratitude for his past services to the country. They agree with all right-thinking men, in the efficacy of the great measure of Reform, and in its fitness to protect the nation against airy Ministry, however unconstitutional in its aims, or powerful in its composition. There are two or three hints scattered through the address, which, had Lord Melbourne been as indiscreet as cer tain of his colleagues, his Lordship would, no doubt, have seized upon as pretexts whereon to fasten an ex planation of the circumstances which have raised throughout the kingdom a curiosity more vivid than profitable, both relatively to the precise intentions of the late Cabinet, had it remained in office, and to the irn mediate causes of its dissolution. But Lord Melbourne quietly put aside all such temptations. In fact, he ex plained nothing—he confirmed none of the many stories which have been propagated--he disproved none of them. He merely affirmed for himself and colleagues, that they would have " proposed such reformations both in the ecclesiastical and civil departments of the State as appeared to be demanded by existing de fects ;" indirectly, though earnestly, warned the peo ple against abusing the great powers which had been vested in them by the Reform Bill—an abuse which would be followed by inevitable retribution ; and de clared for himself, " that he did not feel in the smallest degree personally aggrieved by what had taken place ;" nor was there, we should have been satisfied without this frank and honest announcement by Lord Mel bourne, any thing in the King's conduct—for that is the thing pointed at--of which the late Prime Minis ter could fairly complain. His Lordship made state ments of what he designed to do, under the pressure of events which had been forced upon him, and the King drew conclusions as to the necessary results of such arraugements, which the N o bl e Vi scount h a d not permitted hiiiiself to anticipate. That is the plain outline of the case. Of the details, little can be told with truth which has not been disclosed al ready ; and much that is unquestionably true has been treated as falsehood by a contemptible and desperate morning paper, which, in its floundering efforts to escape from the cesspool into which its own low spite and virulence have plunged it, bespatters us with daily filth. The postscript to the, New Quarterly Review has been assailed by that very ignorant or knavish journal, as our own affirniations tlia been pre viously ; but, as was to be expecte', l m such an ad versary, without t ouc hi ng the main strength of the statement. The importa;ii questions are these—and we appeal from a p:.per whose information, if it has any, m ust b e not at second hand, but at tenth hand, to men o f honour who know the facts, and are inca. pable of 'perverting them :—Did or did not Lord Melbourne acknowledge to the King, that with re ference to two cases which he described as consti tuti:ag an unavoidable alternative, in one of them lie Ir.ust lose the support of at least Lord Lans downe and Mr. Spring Rice, and in the other he must forfeit that of Lord John Russell, Sir John Hobhouse, Mr. Abercromby, and Mr. Ellice. Did, or did not, Lord Melbourne acknowledge, when the question was put to him, that to replace such losses, and to fill up such vacancies, he must draw his substi tutes from the camp of the extreme Radicals (We shall not mention men whose names would create disgust.) Was it, or was it not, more than hinted on one side, and acquiesced in on the other, that it had become no longer possible to go on with Lord Brougham, who had crowned his other performances by a flat refusal to affix . the Great Seal to the Commission for pro rorpitzg Parliament l Was it not, then, a combined question of time and convenience, whether the Minis, ters should go out at once, or after the disgrace and ruin of another rupture, in the face of the assembled Parliament ? These interrogatories require to be an swered otherwise than by fraudulent evasion or paltry abuse—to be answered • in the affirmative or negative, and by those who know what they are asserting, which it is manifest that some of our contemporaries do not. One word on another point. A paper (the Courier) which at first showed a very honourable disposition to view the present state of things with•a candid eye, has within a few days adopted a somewhat impatient tone, and calls upon the Duke of Wellington for an immediate declaration of his intended policy. Is this reasonable ? We do not say that the whole pc) . - pulation of England is not, and ought not to be, most anxious about the projects of the new Government ; but when it is known that the Duke has merely taken office temporarily till Sir Robert Peel arrives, is it decent, is it just, to call upon a provisional locum tenens to obtrude upon the public his individual no tions as the deliberate objects of a Cabinet yet un formed ? We have no doubt that as soon as Sir R. Peel arrives, the Cabinet will be formed and come to a speedy decision, and that the first possible opportu nity will be taken or made to explain that decision to the public. What that decision may be, we of course cannot tell ; but we repeat what we have stated from the first moment of the dissolution of the late Ministry, that we believe it must be such a decision as will satisfy every honest and sensible reformer throughout the empire. We repeat also what we have as often stated, that our course is plain and straightforward. We support measures, not men ; least of all do we support men who have neither courage nor sincerity enough to carry those measures to which they had pledged them selves. The moment that the Government of the Duke of Wellington, or rather of Sir R. Peel, shall take one step in retrogression—the moment that it shall attempt one act to impair the efficiency of Par liamentary Reform, or to impede the progress of such rational reforms in Church and State as enlightened and honest men of all parties have for a long time demanded both in Parliament and out of it—we shall, as ever, be found at our post, fighting the battle of liberty and reform, with that ardour and determination which have hitherto procured, and will, we have no doubt, always procure, for us the confidence of our countrymen.—Times. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 28. VRIMI6TON V. NEWCOMEN. This was an action of a ssztnipsit, brought to recover It large sum of money, claimed to be due from the defendant, for the maintenance of Eliza Newcomen, his daughter. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case: - He felt a more than ordinary into:est in the event of this trial, for upon it depended the question whether a young lady should be supported in some degree in a manner fitting to her rank in life, or whether she should be suffered to drag out the remainder of an existence that had never been happy within the walls of a workhouse. The plaintiff was the widow of a Captain Urmiston, who had been in the service of the East India Company. The defendant was her son-in-law. In 1803 the defendant, an Irish gentleman, with a property of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a year, married Miss New comen. In 1810 she left her husband's house, and went to Douglas, in the Isle of Man, where she was followed, if she had not been conducted thither, by Major Strat ford, since become Earl of Aldborough. When she left her husband's she was pregnant, and a child, a daughter, the unhappy female whose board and maintenance formed the subject of the present action, was born after her ar rival in the Isle of Man. For some time this child re mained with the mother, it was then removed to the care of the father, it was afterwards taken into the care of the mother ; it then went to the house of the grandfather, in Kent ; it was again sent to Ireland to the father, and by him consigned to the care of the steward ; it was removed from the steward's custody, where it suffered every species of indignity, and was actually covered with vermin, and after being cured from the loathsome state into which the iil-treatment of the father's steward plunged it, the child was taken back to the house of the grandfather, where it remained for some time, till it was capriciously claimed by the mother. The child then beginning to grow up was ac cordingly sent to the mother, and was by her almost as ill treated as by the father's steward. The poor young girl indeed was so shamefully misused that one occasion she en d.lavoured to put a period to her own existence. After some time she escaped from her mother's house and took refuge in the house of her grandfather. This was in 1825. While he lived she continued with him, and had since then resided with his widow. That widow had been reduced in circumstances, and was, therefore, compelled to bring the present action, the more especially as the defendant's daugh ter was suffering from ill health to such an extent as to be deprived of the use of her limbs. The plaintiff now claimed at the rate of 801. a year from Easter, 1825, up to the com mencement of the action ; and that claim the Jury could have no hesitation in sanctioning by their verdict. Mr. FOLLETT, after ably recapitulating the case, con tended first, that the plaintiff's grand-daughter was not the daughter of the defendant, but of Major Stratford. Se condly, that if she were in consideration of the law his daughter, still that he was not liable to maintain her after what had passed on the subject. Lord DENMAN thought that the evidence of illegitimacy was not satisfactorily proved. He had never, in the history of romance, heard of a poor creature made to suffer to such an extent for the vices and crimes of others. He then left the question of damages in their'hands. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages four hundred and eighty pounds. The defendant's Counsel had leave to move the Court upon the points of law. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 28. HUMPHREY V. WOODHOUSE AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass to recover damages for unlawfully imprisoning the plaintiff. The plaintiff in this action is a broker, residing at Brix ton ; the defe n d an t s , M r . W oo dh ouse , a gen tleman of for tune, residing in Montague-street, Russell-square ; Gomm, an auctioneer, residing at Hammersmith ; and Fisher and Stilwell, two policemen. The circumstances of the case are as follow :—On the 15th of April last, a Mrs. Hassan, wishing to break up her establishment at No. 4. Hammersmith-terrace, employed the defendant Gomm to sell her goods by auction, which was accordingly commenced on the premises. During the sale the plaintiff made his appearance in his character of a broker, and on coming into the house was smoking a cigar. He continued to do so, standing on the stairs by the front par lcur, which was filled with respectable ladies and gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood, until a lad named Lane told him he could not be allowed to smoke there, whereupon he ceased to do so. Mr. Woodhouse, one of the defendants, hearing the controversy, came out of the room, called in the policemen, and insisted upon their taking the plaintiff into custody ; in this he was aided by the auctioneer, who left his rostrum on the occasion, telling the policemen " to do their duty." The plaintiff was accordingly conducted by them to the police station at Brook-green, where he was locked up, and he remained there from three in the after noon until seven in the evening, when he was taken, con ducted between the two policemen, before the Magistrates at Queen-square, charged with having smoked a pipe in Mrs. Hassan's house, and the Magistrates immediately dis missed the complaint. This was an action to recover com pensation for the injury which the plaintiff had suffered in consequence. _ _ . In support of this case several witnesses were called, who corroborated the facts narrated. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE then addressed the Jury gene rally for all the defendants. He admitted that there must be a verdict against Mr. Woodhouse, but he contended that the other three defendant had in no way been concerned in the injury which the plaintiff was stated to have suffered. What injury was it that he complained to have suffered ? That he had to walk between two policemen. He did not see much disgrace in that, for he himself often saw most respect able men walking with policemen ; and poli cemen , d resse d very genteelly, looked very much like gentlemen now-a-days. —(A laugh.) They were bound to follow the directions given by Mr. Woodhouse ; but what was it Mr. Gomm had done? He told them "to do their duty ;" and was there anything wrong in telling men to do their duty ? It was proved that the plaintiff had come into this lady's house smoking a cigar ; that he was standing puffing it into the room in which most respectable people were. What would any gentleman of the jury say, if persons came puffing their cigars into their faces ? As far as he himself was con cerned, he would knock the fellow down that would do so if he had strength. He could only compare the scene to something that he had read in " Peregrine Pickle," where it was stated that " a party, puffing and blowing together were all in a devil of smoke."---(A. laugh.) At this stage of the proceedings, his Lordship thought there should be an acquittal of the policemen. Mr. Hums.REY replied. He must say, that he had never before seen such a charge, or complaint, entered against an individual as the one against this plaintiff ; he begged par don, he did once, and he would tell them what that com plaint was. The history of it was well known to his Lord ship. A magistrate, better known for his kind ness an d bene volence than for being well versed in legal attainments, made out a commitment against a man (would they believe it ?) to this effect :—" Commit so and so, for that h e did felo niously jump over a wall, and that he did in my presence most wickedly and feloniously threaten to jump back again."..— (Laughter.) His friend had met this case in a spirit of ridicule, indeed he had been in it as was said of a horse, ',rather cheerful." People ridiculed the distresses of others from not having been placed in the same circumstances themselves ' and this put him in mind of an anecdote he had heard of Lord Mansfield. An action had been brought against a M'igistrate for having caused the plaintiff to be put in the public stocks wrongfully ; on the trial the Coun sel for defendant (the Sergeant Spankie of that day) was ridiculing the notion of the stocks being any punishment, when he was interrupted by, Lord Mansfield asking him whether he had ever been in the stocks ? "Me been in the stocks, my Lord ? (says the Sergeant Spankie of that day.) No." " Then I have (returned his Lordship) and I can assure you it is not so pleasant a punishment as you may think ;" and then proceeded to state how it occurred. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 40s. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Nov. 28. OLD COURT. Catherine Hellen, aged 46, and described in the Calen dar as a widow, was indicted for forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 4,6631. 145., with intent to defraud Messrs. Drummond and Co., the Bankers. Thomas Oliver—l am clerk in the house of Messrs. Drummond and Co. On Thursday the 9th of October, a letter was received which contained a bill of exchange, signed Stradbroke. His Lordship kept an account at our house. The signature to the bill was not in his Lordship's handwriting. The letter and bill I handed to Mr. Bush. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am perfectly ac quainted with the hand-writing of Lord Stradbroke. The signature to the bill does not resemble his Lordship's hand writing. Daniel Forrester—l am a city officer, and put a letter into the post-office, and afterwards proceeded to Weymouth by the mail. I went to the banking-house of Messrs. Wil liams and Co. I there saw the prisoner. She was in the act of writing a receipt. On perfecting it, I asked her if it was her name, and she said, "It is." I then asked her how she would wish to take it, when she replied, " In Bank of England paper, if you have got it." I then said, " I must beg of you to step into a back room, as I wish to ask you a question or two." She said, " I hope there is nothing amiss." I then showed her the letter and bill. She said, " The letter is my hand-writing, and this is also mine," laying her hand on the endorsement on the back of the bill. I told her she need not say anything which might tend to criminate herself. She said, " I can only speak the truth." I then told her that the signature of Lord Stradbroke was a forgery. She then replied, " I took the bill from an agent in France, living at Nantes, and his name was Pucey, that she was unacquainted with Lord Stradbroke." I inquired when she received the bill. She said the 16th of this month (October) ; and then said, " I mean the 16th of last month. I left Nantz on the 18th, and took it for a picture transaction." I afterwards went to Augusta place, Weymouth, and discovered that all her property was packed up. On searching her trunk, I found a piece of blotting paper, on which was an impression corresponding with the writing on the bill. The Earl of STRADBRoxE—In October last I was in the habit of keeping an account with Messrs. Drummond and Co. The bill now produced is not in my handwriting, nor is it like it. I never had any transactions with a person of the name of Pucey, nor do I know any thing of the pri soner. The letters and bill were here read.—Guilty. Frederick Peter Finnegan, a short ill-looking fellow, aged 28, was indicted for the wilful murder of Catherine Matilda Finnegan, his own child, aged twenty months, by drowning the said infant in a ditch near to the Surrey Canal, on the Bth of August. Elizabeth Barnes--I am a single woman, and living in Garden-row, Camberwell. lam first cousin to the pri soner's wife. I have not seen the child since her death. The prisoner and his wife were not living together at the time. They had separated about three months before. Mrs. Finnegan has another child which was only four months old. On the day in question I saw the prisoner and his wife in George -street. I heard the prisoner say to his wife, 4 I have murdered her." His wife said, 44 Oh God! where is my child ?" The prisoner said, " She is happy in heaven." At this time the prisoner had the infant in his arms. I took it from him, and said to him, " Fred, pray don't say so !" He replied, " Betsey, you think lam trifling ; I say lam not. She is happy in heaven, and wants no more earthly provision." There was no more said. He then kissed his wife, and she kissed him in return. He then left her, and she fainted away, and was conveyed into her own house, where assistance was pro cured, and she was brought to. The prisoner on that oc casion had a hatband on his hat. On the following. day I saw him, and I noticed the hatband to be taken off, and he had shaven his whiskers off. On the Friday I noticed his hands ; they were dirty ; it appeared to arise from mud, which was dried on. Cross-examined by Mr. STAMMERS—I do not recollect seeing any very strange act of the prisoner after he was mar ried. Ido not recollect his selling his goods and working tools on the day of his marriage. The prisoner on the day of the death of the child was perfectly cool and composed. I never on any occasion had any reason to suspect he was labourinr , under any degree of insanity. By Mr. Justice PARK—The prisoner was in mourning for his mother. Other evidence was adduced, after which The prisoner, in his defence, said he laboured under a great excitement of mind, and he cannot say how the child came by its death. The prisoner called no witnesses. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, very mi nutely. The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. The RECORDER, in a most impressive manner, proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner, and ordered him for execution on Monday next at Horsemonger-lane gaol. The prisoner, during the address of the Recorder, main tained a considerable degree of self-possession, and left the dock apparently with those feelings which might have been expected from a person who had been acquitted. NEW COURT. David Waterworth, a comb-dealer, was indicted for hav ing stolen fifty or sixty dozen pieces of ivory, intended for the manufacture of combs. The case was one of extraordinary length, and occupied so long a period as four hours. The prosecutors were gentlemen of the name of Carter, large comb manufac turers. A few months since they lost this property from their warehouse, and in a few weeks afterwards they were informed by one of their men that the prisoner had brought some blank pieces of ivory to be cut. The commodity was inspected by one of the Mr. Carters, and identified as his. Stanley, an officer, went with the prosecutor to the pri soner's house, where he admitted that he had taken the ivory combs to be cut, but said they were his own property. A great number more of these pieces were found at his house, some of which the prosecutors identified as theirs. Mr. PHILLIPS was retained for the prisoner, and the whole of the case rested on his efforts to do away with the identity of the blanks, the prosecutors contending that they were cut with a machine peculiarly their own ; and this circumstance, and the extraordinary appearance of some of the pieces as having a species of pearl shade, and peculiar grain, made them confident of their identity. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner applied for the ivory. Mr. CLARKSON said it would be given to the prosecutor, who would no doubt indemnify the officer. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH- STREET. SHEEN, THE INFANTICIDE, AGAlN.—Yesterday William Sheen, who had been committed from this office some years since, on a charge of cutting off the head of his infant son, and who subsequently escaped that justice which his crime deserved, by a misnomer in the indictment, was brought before Messrs. HARDWICK and WALKER, on a peace war rant, charging him with threatening to take away the life of his own father, and holding a knife before him, which ho said he would run into his body. The father had two houses, which he let out to lodgers, and about three o'clock in the afternoon of the day before, while in one, he heard a violent noise and the breaking of glass. On going to see what was the matter, he found the prisoner with the bellows in his hands, after breaking eight squares of glass in the windows. He remonstrated with him, and made towards him for the purpose of restraining him from doing further mischief, when he drew out a large knife from his pocket, and, opening it, swore the most des perate oath that he would bury it in his guts, and he, wit ness, had no doubt he would have done so, had his mother not rushed before him, and knocked the knife out of his hand. On Sunday evening the prisoner had also pulled out a knife to him, and, using the most desperate exclamations, threatened to plunge it into his body, saying, " That he had had one narrow escape, and he would chance another, and that he had been admitted as a witness at the Old Bailey since his trial." Sheen, in his defence, said that some short time since his father took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtor's Act, and now wanted to get possession of a house which was his (the prisoner's). On the previous evening he came in there to turn him out, and that so enraged him that he did break the windows as had been stated. Mr. WALKER-But what do you say to holding a knife to your father, and threatening to run him through with it ? Sheen—l had no intention to do so ; but I was so enraged that I scarcely knew or cared what I did. The prisoner then went on to say that he had allowed his father thirty shillings a week while in his difficulties, and MARLBORO UGH-STREET. UNION-HALL.

This Sheen, sen., denied, and said that he had returned the verdict being returned , the prisoner Iv the goods in his schedule, and they were now his. the civil power to awa it hi s t r i a l. Mr. WALKER, however, still considered the case to be as he suspected, and, expressing a belief that one was quite as bad as the other, dismissed the warrant by ordering the as handed expenses to be divided between father and son. lie at the same time cautioned the latter to be careful of his future conduct. Yesterday Mr. Powell, the Mint Solicitor, attended ac cording to custom, to dispose of the cases of passing coun terfeit coin which had occurred since his last visit. Among the offenders was the renowned " Bob Bonner," one of the most celebrated and daring " resurrectionists" in the palmy days of " body-snatching," but who has been compelled, since the passing of the Anatomy Bill, to forage for a liv ing in those departments usually monopolised by, under sized, petty larceny rogues. The appearance of Bob, tall, big-boned, hard-featured, and evidently possessed of enor mous strength, presented exactly that description of " awk. ward customer" which peaceably disposed people of pro perty would be least of all 'anxious to meet in a solitary lane, on a moonlight night. After the prisoners had been informed they were to stand remanded for a week, Bob stepped forward, and casting a pitiful look at the solicitor, begged that a little of the money taken from him when apprehended might be returned, as he could not stand the " short commons" of the House of Correction. Mr. Powell shook his head, and intimated something not exactly complimentary as to character. Bob—l'm not a going to stand out for my character ; it is a bad un, and every body knows it. I've worked hard and honest in my time for my living, but it was " no go" with me. One loss come a-top of t'other, and so when I found honesty wouldn't do, why—it's no use denying it—l took to t'other tack. I wanted to get on honest and re spectable, so I took a contract in the dusting line, and wot's more honester and more respectabler than that there ; but I lost all I had, and now I'm ready to work hard and honestly for even a shilling a-day, for a liveliwood. But I've got a bad name, and nobody won't give me a job of work, or be man enough to say, " Bob, here's a mag' to keep you from starving." I'm dead beat, and that's the blessed truth ; so, if I don't do summit, I must starve for want of wittles. Mr. CONANT—I suppose your old trade has been com pletely destroyed by the new Bill. Bob—Yes, it's all up with that ; I used to do a little for the surgeon, but now there aint a dump to be yarnt in that line. But as to this here trifle of money, I hope you'll let me have it, for I can't live on wot I gets in the " lumber crib." All the bread as I has in a day is two penny loaves, and root's that 'ere for a man like me, wot can grub like a helephant ? _ The rhetoric of Bob prevailed, and the money was ordered to be given up to him. Yesterday a young man who described himself as the son of the late female who styled herself the Princess Olive of Cumberland, attended at the office for the purpose of mak ing the following application : He stated that the Princess, his mother, had recently paid the debt of nature at that side of the water, in the neighbourhood of Trinity-square. He was not present when she died, and only became acquainted of the fact through the medium of the newspapers. The moment he obtained the information he called at the house where the corpse of his deceased parent was lying, but was prevented from seeing it, on the ground that the coffin was soldered down, and that therefore it could not be re• opened. He then intimated a desire to follow the remains of his mother to the grave as chief mourner, but his application was treated with derision by the persons in whose house she ex pired, and they manifested a determination not to allow him to interfere, and treated him as though he was a perfect stranger, and had no right to make any inquiries, on the subject. The applicant then added that he is the only son of the deceased by marriage, that she had no other offspring but himself, and whatever might have been said otherwise was a fabrication. Mr. MURRAY said that since the death of the lady, who styled herself as belonging to a branch of the Royal Family, he had observed an advertisement in the newspapers in which it was stated that her daughter Lavinia was required to come forward for some purpose connected with the death of the deceased. Applicant—lts all nonsense about my mother having a daughter ; she never had one. lam her lawful son by wed lock, and as such lay claim to her papers, and whatever pro perty she may have died possessed of. Mr. MURRAY remembered the applicant very well, and was sorry to say he knew nothing to his credit. The Magistrate then said that he thought that the applicant was. abroad. Applicant--I went out to the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Washington behaved as a great benefactor to me on the occasion, but I could get no employment in the colony, so I returned home again. The applicant then asked the Magistrate if he could put him in the way of obtaining possession of his mother's property and papers. Mr. MusutAY, in reply to this interrogatory, could not interfere in the business. If the, applicant had a light to the effects belonging to the deceased, he must establish his claim by legal means, and that was by taking out letters of administration. Applicant—But they refuse to allow me to follow my mother to the grave. This is a hard case, that a son is not to be permitted to pay the last duties to a parent. Mr: MURRAY was aware Mr. Washington, who was a kind and benevolent man, had interested himself in the applicant's behalf, and he had therefore better apply to fie gentleman, who would advise him what was best to be done under the circumstances. The applicant then withdrew, saying that he intended to make another application to the persons where his mother died, to permit him to attend her remains to the grave. MELANCHOLY AND SINGULAR ACCIDENT. THE COURT OF ALDERMEN• On Tuesday last, the day on which the first Court of men in the present Mayoralty was held, Alderman moved that the Court should be from that time an o pen that the public should be admitted during the trans,fl the business of the Court, as was the case in the ti ( Common Council. Alderman VEN4BLES (we understood) represented ti privacy with which the affairs of the Court of Alderme' transacted, had subjected it to the suspicion that usually places in which matters supposed to be of public inters' discussed and determined. He wished that all susPi° t i nti r ; be removed, and he was convinced that the Act of open the Court would have that effect. Sir P. LAunis strongly supported the motion, Old that he had for a great length of time endeavoured to plish his object. The motion was opposed by Alderman Thomso n '-. ) and Atkins. who contended that the charges were br that Court often wholly unfounded, the publication 01 would seriously injure individuals. After a discussion of some length the Court dillu e-s there appeared : For the moi Alderman Venably Key Laurie Copelam Kelly Cowan Wilson Marshall Harmer Piri• The LORD MAY The strongest and Atkins.

Johr, the second son of the above-named gentleman, of fifteen years of age, has been suddenly snatched from this world, under circumstances of the most melancholy character. A protection boat, belonging to a man of the name of Kelly, had been employed at the wreck of the Fairfield for several days, and was out that evening with another, which was nearly filled with damaged goods. In the first were two soldiers of the 15th regiment, off duty, Kelly, the boatman and his son, a man of the name of Burfet, a Mr. Broadbent, young Robert Lucas, and the unfortunate youth whose un timely end we are now deploring. These boats put off with the intention of rowing to Poolwash Bay, there to deposit, as usual, the saved property. They were warned to be off by a man of the name of O'Donnell, of Douglas, who was employed to watch the wreck. It was then dark (it appears that after the close of the evening no boats were allowed to approach the shore.) Kelly's boat had scarcely proceeded thirty yards ere they discovered that their boat hook had been left behind ; they in consequence returned to the rocks, found it, and put off again ; they had not sailed more than 100 yards when a shot was fired from the shore, on which some one in the boat exclaimed, " Thank God, no body is hit." Some little time elapsed, when a second shut was fired, on which young Lucas observed the deceased sud denly drop his head on his chest. He was then partly seated on the gunwale and partly on Lucas's knee, who, conceiving that his young friend was sea-sick (not sup posing for a moment that the last shot fired had taken effect), bade him lean his head over the side of the boat, and, not receiving a reply, one of the soldiers who sat close to the poor youth, also believing that it wa s merely sea-sickness, passed his hand under his chin to raise his head, when be discovered a quantity of blood on the face and chest of the deceased. The boat then pulled for the shore, some calling out, "Who fired ?" O n ar riving at the tent one of the soldiers answered, " I fired last ;" on which the corporal on duty disarmed the sentinel and made him prisoner. A person was then di s p a t c h e d to Castletown for surgical assistance, but it proved of no avail, as from the nature of the wound the unfortunate youth must have expired the moment he received th e b a ll. Th e body was carried home, laid in a room, and examined by Dr. Underwood. A jury was then sworn, Mr. Gelling, Advocate, foreman, and after viewing the body, ad journed till ten o'clock the following morning. They met in the Court Room ; it wa s an open C ourt, an d t h e investigation lasted till nine at night ; an d th e J ury b roug ht in their verdict a little before ten, that " The deceased, whilst in a boat between th e h ours o f fi ve an d s i x, on t h e evening of Friday the 14th instant, came by his death from the effects of a musket b a ll w hi c h was fi re d by Tho mas Rigby, a soldier of the garrison, while on duty at the wreck of the John Fairfield." The evidence was conflicting in some points, but it appeared from the testimony of Capt. Barnham and the corporal, that orders had been given them to fire ball-cartridge over any boats approaching the shore. It does not appear from the evidence from whom the order to fire ball cartridge was received, with the exception of a declaration made by the corporal that he had received such an order from the High Bailiff. It does not appear that any blame is to be attached to Rigby, who merely acted ac cording to the orders given him by the corporal. He hailed U el Hib Grass English Can - away. — Fore gn Ditto • Coriander ;cud. Enjt' K. a: , (F Choic: , ditto ..... Kent Bags...
