SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " It will be in vain," says a contemporary (Times, 29th Sept.), in an article on the effusions of the Cavan and Canterbury Conservative meetings, " to make a fierce stand in defence of the disproportioned revenues of the Irish Church, and to confound riches with religion." This is precisely the fear and appre hension of Dr. Croft and his brother Conservatives. The Parliament, in legislating for the Irish Church, had the " infidelity"—(the term applied by the vene rable Archdeacon to the conduct of Ministers, who, under pretence of benefitting the Church, interfered with its revenues) —to " regulate" a more equitable pay ment of first-fruits and tenths, to the augmenta tion of the incomes of the poorer clergy, and other ecclesiastical purposes ; all livings above 3001. per annum, even during the lives of the present incum bents, being charged with paym en t s f rom fi ve to fif teen per cent. It is clear that the regulation so fitly framed to the Irish Church will, in the next Session, not only be " attempted," as Dr. Croft fears, but be assuredly applied to the English Church ; and the f . i re ct s will, we should apprehend, satisfy other parties " than some few infidels, tithe-payers, and landlords ;" we mean the real labourers in the vineyard— the poor curates and incumbents of what are called " livings," but which might be more pro perly called " starvings." Of the 10,000 livings in England and W a l es , 1,600 are i n th e Gif t of the twenty-six Bishops, 600 in the presentation of the two Universities, and about 1,000 in the gift of the several Cathedrals and other clerical insti tutions. It will scarcely be credited that, in tip 19th century, many hundreds of the se are s till under 80, 70, and even 401. a year ; that even the small increase which has taken place in many has been from Parlia mentary grants, and from Queen Anne's fund. Before the one million and a half was voted—to the shame of a Christian church, so richly endowed, and with funds, if properly distributed, sufficient for the docent provision of all its clergy—one hundred thou sand pounds were annually taken from the pockets of the people, by the vote of an unreformed Parliament, for the augmentation of those very livings, which, by every law of equity, as well as by every l aw o f th e land, had it not been evaded, should have been increased from the richly-endowed prefennents of the hierarchy and wealthy ecclesiastics. Perhaps we cannot better prove the beneficial effects of the anticipated interference in regulating the distribution of the revenues of the Church by the " infidel" mem bers of a reformed Parliament, than by a statement of the results, as far as they regard some of the Canter bury Conservative clergy, who met to celebrate the King's declaration to the Bishops ; an d p er h a p s th e Honourable Member for East Kent will lay them be fore his Majesty. The preferments held by Doctors Croft, Russell, Spry, Dawson, and Manners Sutt, n, consist of one archdeacoury, one subdeanery, five canons' stalls, and twelve rectories—Marylebone, Bishopsgate, Margate, Wilmington, Chislehurst, Orpington, Allhallows, Cliffe at Hone, Saltwood, Great Chart, Tunstal, Hanbury *—will be found, by the lowest calculation, communibus annis, to average eleven thousand seven hundred pounds ; the payment from which to Queen Anne's fund for the augmentation of poor benefices of the real tenths—without any first fruits—would be eleven hundred and seventy pounds per annum. But by the present law, as it is evaded under the valuation of the .fiber Regis, made nearly three centuries since, the whole of these preferments are valued at 2311.175. 4d. ; consequently twenty-three pounds per annum is paid to this augmentation fund, loco 1,1701. Forty bale fices (so called) might from . these fi ve dignitaries alone—if they paid the l ega l enactment—be improved by an augmentation of 301. a year in tenths 'alone, without first fruits ; a sum of no small consideration to a oor parson, " passing ri c h w ith f orty poun d s a year.' The Bishop of London, in his charge to the clergy, says that the " true peace and real prosperity of the country depend not upon the multiplicity of minute legislative provisions, nor upon any economic regulations, however ingeniously devis ed, and however useful as subsidiary aids, but upon its Christianity, and its Christianity mainly depends upon the labours of Parochial Clergy ;" but if the labourer be " worthy of his hire," and Mr. Plumptre bears testimony as to the merits and efficiency of the Canterbury Clergy, they doubtless, in despite of the reasonings of Bishop Blomfield, will consider the economic regulations, under the Tenths and First Fruits Acts, if not " ingeniously" evaded, very useful as " subsidiary aids." The primitive Christians, we read, had all things in common, and made distribution to every man according as he had need, and patiently endured the spoiling of their goods. How different is the view of the Canterbury dignitaries of Church and State ! The "short commons" is considered suffi cient for the working Clergy, while the regulation or interference with their goods, or loaves and fishes, by the Legislature, with them is "spollation."—Morning Chronicle. * Lord Brougham's Bill, which, though delayed, will, no doubt, with some alterations, soon pass the Legislature, very properly enacted, that if these major canons were to hold liv ings with their stalls, instead of the richest, they should be the poorest, in the gift of the Chapter. When the House of Lords crushed in the shell Mr. O'Connell's project of Church spoliation, called the Irish Tithe Bill, the Whig papers seemed to be pos sessed with most profound grief for the interests of the Irish Church Establishment, which they declared to be utterly ruined by the zash rejection of Mr. O'Connell's boon, which left the Irish Clergy without any means of obtaining any tithe for the future. This nonsense was uttered day after day, although every reasonable man was convinced that any " boon" proffered by Mr. O'Connell to the Protestant Clergy of Ireland must resemble a gift from Ulysses to the Trojans, intended only for the ruin of those on whom it was bestowed. We showed, at that time, that if the Irish Clergy were to receive their tithe through the medium of the land lords, a better bargain had been made for them already by Mr. Stanley's Bill than by that, which, at the dic tation of the repeal-agitator, the Melbourne Cabinet adopted. We need not remind our readers that the Bill which the House of Lords threw out provided that 40 per cent. was to be given to the Irish landlords out of the tithe, of which they were only to pay sixty per cent., or three-fifths of the Clergy, to whom twenty per cent. out of the forty was to be made up for one year out of the Consolidated Fund—the deficiency in, the Consolidated Fund, to be made good out of the Irish Perpetuity Fund, which was intended to relieve the Irish Roman Catholics from the payment of the church-cess ; but as there was no provision made for supplying the deficiency in the Perpetuity Fund, it is quite certain that before the first year was - out, there would have been such a demonstration made by the Roman Catholic agitators against taking the twenty per cent. out of the Perpetuity Fund, as would have induced our rulers, on the principle of yielding every thing to agitation, to abstain from renewing it for another year; consequently they could not think of any longer allow ing twenty per cent. for tithe to be taken out of Con solidated Fund, as that would have excited very general discontent when it .was found that the deficiency was not to be made good from any other source ; and thus the forty per cent., or the two-fifths of the tithe given by Mr. O'Connell's Bill t o th e I r i s h l an dl or d s , the clergy would altogether lose. Now, by Mr. Stanley's 13ill, the compact made between the clergy and the landlord allows the latter the more fair and reasonable compen sation of 15 per cent. for taking upon himself the responsibility of paying the tithe, and the trouble of as rent, from his ten an t. W e are glad collecting it, to find from our Irish correspondence, corroborated by the statements of the Dublin Evenin g Mail, that a considerable number of the most wealthy and influ ential of the Irish landowners have already entered into this arrangement with the clergy, and that the example is likely to be very generally followed, so that the Pro testant clergy of Ireland are not put to the dreadful alternative of submitting to Mr. O'Connell's plan o f Church robbery—the fruit of a base compromise be tween the agitator and the Whig Ministers ; or of being driven to utter destitution. They will have to pay a premium of 15 per cent. as an insurance on their tithe, and will not be called upon to give UP nearly one half to secure th e remainder.—/Iforning Herald. We / have read with disgust and indignation a cor respondence between that champion of the Irish Church, the Rev. Marcus Beresford, Vicar of Drung, and the Rev. Thomas Lyons, who had the misfortune to be his curate. It appears that in accordance with the canon regarding catechising (the 59th English and 11th Irish), a catechetical lecture was established in the church of Drung. Mr. Beresford gave notice that this catechising should be no longer in the church, but should be transferred to the school-houses of -Ra kenny and of Parsonage, to be held on two week-clays, which he spe c ifi e d. The curate, Mr. Lyons, think ing that this was contrary to the canon, felt that he could not act upon the orders of Mr. Beresford con sistently with obedience to the rules of the church, and the obligations of his ordination vow. The vicar forthwith gave him notice that his services were dis pensed with ; but here we must give the letter of the reverend gentleman, announcing his resolution and finally settling accounts in the spirit_ of peace and cha rity, for by his own words only can justice be done to him. The satire of a Fielding would have fallen short of such a composition.;— " Dec. 31, 1833 " Dear Sir—l regret that lam necessitated to adopt the only course that is left open to me, which is to notice to you that I have no further need of your services as curate of Drum , . This day, which concludes the year, must end the connexion between us. I trust we shall part as we met, in peace and charity. My last payment to you paP. your salary up to the first of this month. Since that I owe you for one month, which, being a long month, of 31 days, amounts, as near as I can calculate, to 6/. Bs. My steward returns you as a debtor• to the amount of 71. 10s., for conacre ground, which leaves some trifling balance in my favour. As I have no desire to inconvenience you in any respect, the parsOnagc-house is at your service till it may suit you to move. As it would be best to name a specific time, I would say till the Ist of March next. " Another point I would beg to remind you of, which is that as you are not a licensed curate (never having prayed the bishop to grant you a licence for my parish), this notice is perfectly valid and sufficient. " Yours truly, " M. G. BERESFORD. I" To the Rev. Thomas A. Lyons.".. This is not the conduct of one gentleman to another —it is not the conduct of a gentleman to a stable-boy ; but it is the conduct of a wealthy vicar to a poor curate. The only course left open, says Mr. Beres ford, was to give notice of dismissal—why, what had the curate done to bring matters to such an extremity? He objected that an order of his vicar contravened a canon of the church. Was there no way of disposing of the conscientious scruple but instant dismissal ? If a menial servant hesitated to obey a command, alleging that it was against the law of the land, would not a master either correct the misconception, or retract his own hasty order, and give the man credit for his observance of the paramount duties ? If Mr. Lyons was wrong, was there no way of setting him right ? Or has the church of Ireland had so much to do with • the army in tithe collecting that its superior ministers have contracted military notions, and, carrying martial law into the discipline of the church, have made dis obedience of orders an unpardonable offence ? Thus Mr. Lyons was cashiered by drum-head justice as it were. But a corporal in the severest service could not be so reduced—could not have his badges torn from him by so rude and absolute a will. " I have no further need of your services as curate of Drung. This day, which concludes the year, must end the connexion between us." Conceive the feelings of a gentleman on reading this abrupt notice, so full of the master—not the master of meekness and charity, but the domineer ing master of the coarsest and lowest world, who draws his pride from the power of oppressing ;—conceive, on the other side, the feelings of the man who penned those peremptory and harsh words on so slight an oc casion ! The very day concluding the year would have counselled milder resolves to a benignant spirit. In enclitic , a year we close a portion of our great ac count, and that thought would turn most minds from an act of severity, and dispose them to one of grace and mercy. The Rev. Vicar was, however, content to close the year with a rigorous exercise of his power, and to open the new year of the unfortunate gentleman in his power with a prospect of deprivation. But he goes on—" I trust we shall part as we met, in peace and charity." Between what words does this trust stand ? " This day, which concludes the year, must end the connexion between us. I trust we shall part as we met, in peace and charity. My last payment to you paid your salary up to the Ist of this month ;" and then he proceeds with the most tradesmanlike exactness, and scrupulous justice to his estate, to bring in the poor curate his debtor to the amount of twenty two shillings. He sets forth his charity in thus settling accounts, and his peace by the resolution with which he ends his year. He grinds a man under his heel, and hopes that they may part as they met, in peace and charity. Every sentence is a volume of littleness. The statement of the curate's month's wages by the vicar whose preferment is rated at 1,8001. a year, is one of those strokes which the boldest satirist would scarcely have hazarded in a work of fiction—" I owe you for one month, which being a long month of thirty one days, amounts, as near as I can calculate, to six pounds eight shillings !" The rich vicar is puzzled to calculate anything so small as his curate's claim I It is a sort of hair-splitting which can only be done in approximation. We think it not improbable that he gave his curate the benefit of some halfpence in the account rather than perplex himself with a calculation in fractions. And he could venture to be so generous with the demand in reserve for the next sentence of 71.105. for conacre ground, " leaving some trifling " balance" in favour of the rich vicar. Thus we see that a conacre of potatoes is worth 225. more than a curate's month's labours, or that 10 conacres of potatoes are about equal to a curate's-peaaMliftv.-.BAt, then, how liberal is the permission to the poor curateant main in the parsonage house till it might suit him to move, only coupled with a condition that, whether it might suit him to move or not, he must quit at the end of two months. This is the most Irish method of leaving a matter to convenience that we ever remember to have seen or heard of. Stay as long as suits your convenience, but you must turn out on the Ist of March. The finishing stroke of this pastoral epistle is the avowal of the advantage taken of the curate's neglect to procure a license. The vicar in effect says, remember that you are unprotected, and that I am safely taking advantage of that circumstance. With reference to this omission, Mr. Lyons in a letter of complaint to the Primate of Ireland says— " To have sought out a licence under the circumstances to guard me against any improper advantage that might be taken of the want of a protection so merely formal, seemed to me, at the time, as involving a want of courtesy towards one whose station and obligation to the Church for every thing which he possesses, appeared a sufficient guarantee of the im possibility of his taking an unworthy advantage of a brother clergyman. Of this impression other circumstances were confirmatory. I was ordained a priest by the Bishop of Kil more. He received me at his house. He visited me at the rectory house of Killyshandra, then my residence, and like wise here, since my arrival. He appointed me Lent preacher the only two Lent seasons I have passed in the diocess. I was summoned to the diocesan visitations, and thus recognised as a clergyman of the diocess. Added to all these extrinsic circumstances was the consciousness of a desire to discharge my duty fully, and of an ability to discharge it well. " Having accordingly done my duty as a strict church of England clergyman, zealously, boldly, and efficiently to the people committed to my spiritual charge for the past year, I cannot find any terms to characterize conduct so anomalous as that used towards me. To call in unclerical, t , un.entleman- like, unmanly, would still leave much not expressed. Were this the act of a good man and zealous churchman, if so ab surd a supposition may be admitted for a moment, towards a clergyman loose in his principles, irregular in his behaviour, and inefficient in his office, it would be unhesitatingly cha racterized as not only contemptuous of episcopal rule, but as one tyrannously oppressive ; alike alien to the spirit and prin ciples of our ecclesiastical polity, and of the age in which it has been perpetrated ; exceeding even the licence permitted by the law in dismissing our menial servants. For I must beg leave to remark to your Grace, that not two hours' notice was given to me of the suspension of my spiritual functions in this parish, and of the deprivation of those means of subsistence which the church has allocated for stipendiary clergymen. " As characteristic of the spirit of this transaction, I may be permitted to mention the fact, that since Sunday, December 8, there has not been any catechetical lecture in the church of Drung, although this violation of the law has been within epis copal cognizance since December 31. " I therefore appeal to your Grace, as my metropolitan, trusting to your Grace's known character as a churchman, that the consequences of an act so shamelessly oppressive shall not be permitted to fall upon an unoffending clergyman, whose worst crime is a fearless determination to act according to the obligations of his ordination vow. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Grace's very obe dient servant, " THOMAS A. LYONS." " To his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Armagh." Mr. Lyons' appeals to the Bishop of the diocess were of no avail. The vicar is the son of the Bishop —what more need be said. The poor curate's first complaint was answered by the Bishop's dry expres- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1834. sion of an opinion that to catechise out of church is permitted. A second appeal was answered as follows: THE LORD BISHOP MF KILMORE TO THE REV. T. A. LYONS. " January 4, 1834. " Rev. Sir,—lt is now late to apply for a licence. " I am, Rev. Sir, yours faithfully, " GEORGE KILMORE. " To the Rev. T. A. Lyons." The appeal to the Primate has produced "no opi nion upon the case," as hiS secretary takes care to say. The partiality crowns the cruelty and oppression of the case. Such is the effect of turning a church to patronage ; the Bishop has a son in a rich living, and the son must be defended in any use he may make of his authority. The preferment which is held as a for tune will generally be huslyanded with more of the spirit of mammon than of righteousness and equity. Out of 1,8001. a year, the vicar pays less than 80/. to his curate, and turns him out of bread at a mo ment's warning, for saying nay to an order believed to be against a canon of the church ; and yet there are men who have the impudence or the infatuation to as sert that the Irish church needs no reform, even while its most boisterous and forward champions are proving the case against it by their own offensive examples. In the instance under observation we see how vain it would be to rely on the heads of the church for cor rection of abuses and redress of grievances.— Times. COURT OF REVIEW.-TUESDAY, SEPT. SO. IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-W. LAVENDER'S BANKRUPTCY. In the present case the bankrupt was a farmer of Hert fordshire, and a question of some consequence both to the agricultural and mercantile interests was involved in the case. A. fiat was issued against the bankrupt in July last, and after the usual proceedings had been beard before Mr. Commissioner Fane, who was of opinion that the trading of the bankrupt proved the act of bankruptcy fully established, an appeal was promoted to the Court of Review to make the bankruptcy null and void, on the ground that the fiat had not been established legally. On both sides arguments have been entered into for some days before the Chief Judge of the Court of Review. Mr. Sergeant Wilde (hav ing been retained with a large fec): - and Mr. Montagu ap peared on the part of the alleged bankrupt in supporting a. petition to set aside the fiat, and Mr. Temple on the behalf of the petitioning creditor. The CHIEF JUDGE (the Hon. T. Erskine), having named this day for giving judgment in the matter, took his seat at eleven o'clock ; and, after the cause had been called on, said the application to the Court was made on behalf of William Lavender to annul a fiat issued against him, the act of bankruptcy being denied, and it being stated that he had ample means of liquidating all claims upon him. Two points had been strongly urged in support of the trading of the petitioner and the act of bankruptcy. The acts of trad ing relied on were the purchasing and disposing of sheep by the alleged bankrupt in 1828, 1829, and 1830. It appeared that Lavender had been a farmer up to the year 1828, when he parted with a farm in Bedford, and returned to Hertford, his place of birth, to settle there ; but this intention was not carried into effect for some time, and during the interval it was proved and admitted that he had bought and sold sheep upon his new farm. The question to be decided by the Court was whether this was a trading within the interpretation of the Bankrupt Act, and whether these dealings in sheep were entered into with an intention on the part of the petitioner of dealing generally. If the Court was satisfied that it was the intention of Lavender so to deal, the opinion of the Court would coincide with that of the Learned Commissioner in finding that the trading on the part of the petitioner had been established. An act of bankruptcy depended on the intentions of the party. La vender was indebted to one party 5731. 10s. an acceptances which were not honoured. At the time the bills were in circulation Lavender was negotiating for a loan, and on the promise that the bills would be taken up and security given, ' time was given by the holders of the bills. The alleged bankrupt - was arrested, when it was proposed to mortgage some property and give a joint covenant to secure the debts, but the following day Lavender went to London, and did not return till the 18th July, and in the mean time an execution was levied on the farming stock, &c., by virtue of a power of attorney. A docket was struck against Lavender, and it was contended that his absence from home was for the intention 'of causing delay to his creditors, and the whole question rested on the fact whether by his absence he had such inten tion ; if so, it was an act of bankruptcy. A point of law had been raised, whether, as Lavender had not kept his ap pointment to meet his creditor in order to give security for the debt, instead of which he had left his home, an act of bankruptcy had not also been committed. In the case of Wyndier and Brown, Lord Tenterden had left it for the Jury to decide, whether, when the party had promised to meet his creditor, but faled so to do, it was an act of bank ruptcy. It not to be inferred that the absence of the party was to delay and defeat the creditor without proof. Another instance was referred to by the Learned Judge, by which it was plain that the debtor absented himself to delay his creditors, he having made a declaration that he was afraid of an arrest, and therefore absented himself. It was clearly laid down by a decision of Lord Ellenborough, that when it was the intention of the party to delay a creditor, an act of bankruptcy was committed. In the present case, however, the party had gone to London to endeavour to raise the means to pay off the debts due from him. It was known that a loan was in progress of being obtained for him ; the title-deeds of the estate were approved of, and the draught of the agreement drawn up. The excuse of La vender, therefore, for his absence, was honest ; he was endeavouring to procure money to pay the claims upon him, in order that he might still keep on his farm, and the creditors could not have been delayed by this act within the meaning of the Bankrupt Law. There was a further point. Supposing Lavender had proceeded to London to get a loan, and was defeated in his endeavour, and had remained there, this would have constituted an act of bankruptcy. The Judges had decided that where a debtor had tried to raise money to pay his debts, but failed, and kept away from his creditors, an act of bankruptcy would be established. But in the present case such was not the fact ; the negotiation was nearly complete when the fiat was issued ; and, considering all the circumstances, it was his (the learned Chief Judge's) duty to pronounce that the fiat ought to be rescinded, with costs. Mr. Temple applied for an issue. The Court thought the application too late, and ought to have been made before the case was decided. Mr. TEMPLE said the question was of importance.. The decision might in this insta nce d e f ea t th e b on a fide creditors. The Counr stated that though they had every desire to do justice to all parties, there appeared nothing in the case in question to induce it to depart from the usual course, and to rescind the fiat with costs. Mr. TEMPLE then intimated that an application would be made for a rehearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. John Smith, a young man who was some days ago brought before the Loan MAYOR charged with having plundered his master, Mr. Clarke, the extensive warehouseman of Tower-hill, of pieces of linen and lawn, and other articles, by means of forged orders, as well as by other means, was yesterday finally examined. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the prosecution. It will be recollected that a man named John Sims, .who was in the habit of selling umbrellas at the corner of the street in which the prosecutor's warehouses are, stated that he pawned goods for the prisoner at various times. This witness, having whetted his memory since his first examina tion, now stated that he had pawned articles exactly upon four occasions for Smith. The prisoner requested that the Lord Mayor would be so good as to adjourn the consideration of the case, as he trusted to be able to compromise the affair. The LORD MAYOR said that he could consent to an ad journment on no such ground. Mr. Hobler, jun., said that his client entertained not the most remote idea of allowing a compromise to take place. The extensive business of the prosecutor, and his great liability to plunder, made it necessary for him, notwith standing his decided reluctance to wound the feelings of the very respectable relations of the prisoner, to prosecute. Upwards of one hundred persons were employed on the premises, and upwards of one thousand were employed out of them, in the various departments of the trade. The LORD MAYOR said he had made inquiry into the character of the witness Sims, and ascertained that it was good. He stated this fact in justice to that person, as some suspicion seemed to attach to him at the first examination. The parties were then bound over to prosecute for the Forged orders. A number of pawnbrokers then came forward with pieces of linen and lawn, and other goods, which had been pawned at their houses by the prisoner, who had procured them from Messrs. Cooke and Gladstone, Messrs. Leaf and Co., and other great houses, in the name of Clarke. The goods which had been pawned were worth about 2001. Daniel Forrester produced the several tickets, and the pawn brokers readily gave up the goods to Mr. Clarke, who is of course responsible for them to the several houses from which they were procured. The prisoner, who appeared in deep affliction, was then fully committed for trial. John Mitchell, the driver of a cart, was brought up. A witness stated that as the prisoner was drivit,,J; his horse and cart down to Cox's-quay, the pass age t o w hi c h i s tremely narrow, a boy got. in the way, and notwithstanding all the exertions of the prisoner, who endeavoured to stop the horse, was crushed between the wall and the cart, and ldlled. The master of the driver gave him an excellent charac ter for humanity and caution, but The LORD MAYOR said that the man must remain in custody till the verdict of the coronest inquest should be known. Several pickpockets were brought up and sent to Bride well for various terms. One of them slipped a silk hand kerchief out of the pocket of a person who was passing along the street, and got off with it. The loser, upon miss ing the handkerchief, went into a shop, and purchased a cotton handkerchief. He soon afterwards passed by the place where he had lost the more valuable article, and felt a slight tug at his coat. He suspected that the fish had caught at the bait, and seized the prisoner by the collar, and called for an officer. The experiment proved to be a good one, for the Complainant found his silk handkerchief along with several other handkerchiefs on the person of the prisoner. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a young man of. respectable appearance, who was understood to be the natural son of a Peer, and who gave the name of Peter Frederick Rosel t, was brought before Mr. Alderman JOHNSON, charged with stealing 10/. Mr. Charles, of Stow, linen-draper, stated that he is stay ing at the Old Bell Inn, Holborn, and on Monday morning he missed out of his carpet-bag a .5/. country note, and about .51. in gold and silver. His bag was locked and left in his bed-room, and the prisoner lodged in an adjoining apartment. Mr. Bunyer, who is managing the inn, said the prisoner came in on Friday evening and ordered a fried sole and a bed. He remained at the house all day on Saturday, and on Sunday morning, after breakfast, he ordered a dinner for two persons. The waiter upon this presented his bill of I 1 s., and said that till it was discharged no dinner would be provided, as he was a stranger and had no luggage. He said he had lost his keys and could not get at his cash on that account, but if the landlord would lend him a bunch of small keys lie should perhaps find one to suit his lock. The keys were sent up to him, but none of them would answer his purpose. A gentleman in the coffee-room, however, supplied him with a suitable key, and he came down and settled his bill. On Monday morning Mr. Charles missed his money, and the borrowing of the keys, and the fact of the prisoner having money afterwards and none before, fixed suspicion entirely upon him. He was apprehended at the Hugh Myddelton, near Sadlers' Wells, the same evening. Inspector Busain, of the metropolitan police, stated that about a was found on the prisoner, and an unfinished let ter, which he attempted to destroy, and which proved to contain a full admission of his guilt. It was apparently intended for one of his guardians, and stated that he in tended to call upon him for some money on Monday ; but being detained for his bill on Sunday he had borrowed a key and taken some cash from the carpet-bag of a fellow dger. The inspector said he asked the prisoner before he looked at the letter whether it had been written by him. The prisoner said it had, but it related to some thing he wished to keep strictly private. The prisoner had been in his custody a few days before for stealing a gold watei. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON asked the prisoner if he had any answer to make to this charge ? The prisoner replied he had only to say that great falsehoods had been told by the witnesses. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said the charge was sufficiently made out to render it necessary to commit the prisoner for trial, and the prisoner was committed to Newgate. ' BO W-STREET. A respectably-dressed young man, named James Allan, was brought up, charged, upon his own confession, with having stolen a 51. note and other property belonging to a gentleman at the Tavistock Hotel, on the Bth of Septem ber last. Mullett, a policeman, deposed that on Monday night the prisoner surrendered himself to him, stating that he had committed a felony for which he was very sorry. He then stated that he was a waiter at the Tavistock in the Piazza, Covent-garden, when, in a moment of folly, he took a 5 1. note from the dressing-table of a gentleman who was stop ping there. He went to Portsmouth, where he spent a portion of the money and got robbed of the remainder, and he then made his way back for the purpose of giving him self up to justice. The evidence of the policeman was corroborated, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. John Pate, a boy about fourteen years of age, in the ser vice of Mr. Holbeck, of No. 5, King-street, Golden-square, was yesterday charged with stealing gold lace and several other valuable articles, amongst which was a splendid ban ner, embroidered in gold on blue satin, taken from a troop of horse which joined Napoleon immediately after his es cape from Elba. The prisoner had been in Mr. Holbeck's service for the last five weeks, during the whole of which time he had pil fered several articles. A few days since he took the banner to Mr. Smart's, a refiner in Prince's-street, Oxford-street, and inquired if they had their fire in order (meaning that the gold on the flag might by that process be reduced to bullion.) Farrant, formerly a policeman, and at present a shopman there, suspected that it had been dishonestly acquired, and asked the boy how he became possessed of it. He said that he had been to Bombay, and that he had bough't it there. The name and address of the boy were then taken, and a guinea was given for the flag. Inquiries were imme diately after this made at the desire of Mr. Smart, and it was found that a false address had been given. In a day or two afterwards the boy again came and brought some gold lace, which he offered for sale, and was given into custody. Mr. CONANT, on examining the flag, observed it was small, but the embroidery was beautiful. Mr. Holbeck said that the original cost of such a banner must have been 20/. Mr. CONANT presumed that the execution was not so good as if it bad been the standard of England, or of Eng lish manufacture. Mr. Holbeck replied that the execution was splendid. It certainly was not so weighty as flags manufactured in this country. He then pointed out some alterations which Bo naparte had directed in its centre, altering it from the ori ginal Bourbon banner. - Farrant said that the reason he had for denying that their fire was in, was that of keeping the property in a state capable of identification. Mr. CONANT inquired whether it was now of much in trinsic value ? Mr. liolbeck replied that as a relic it was certainly very valuable. The prisoner was fully committed for trial and the parties bound over to prosecute. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday morning, immediately after Mr. TWYFORD had taken his seat, a professional gentleman, accompanied by the rent-collector of a Mr. Heath, a gentleman residing at Hackney, applied to the Magistrates under the following circumstances : It was stated that Mr. Heath had called on one of his tenants at No. 40, Oval Cottages, Cambridge-heath, about half-past nine, for the purpose of receiving half a year's rent due to him, accompanied by his collector, when the tenant refused to pay the rent, and expelled the collector, vowing Mr. Heath should never have his liberty unless he unconditionally signed a receipt for the rent. The collector was sworn and deposed to these facts. A sergeant of police said that the parties in the house, consisting of a man, his wife, and a servant, had effectually barricaded the windows and doors, and a mob of several hundred persons had congregated round the house, so that, without further assistance and the Magistrates' authority, they could not extricate Mr. Heath from durance. Mr. TWYFORD instantly granted a warrant, which was placed in the hands of the officers, who went forthwith to put it in execution. James Brown, in whose hands the warrant was placed, without loss of time proceeded to the house, and after knock ing several times at the door without its being opened, he procured the assistance of the police, and then made a for cible entrance ; and having released Mr. Heath, proceeded to search for Mr. King, the defendant, whom he ultimately found concealed in a bed-room at the upper part of the house and took him into custody, and conveyed him direct to this office. On the arrival of Mr. BENETT, the second mag,istrate, the case was called on, and Mr. TWYFORD having made his colleague acquainted with some of the extraordinary facts of the case, • 11Ir. Heath, the prosecutor, deposed that the defendant had for some days past been moving his goods in a very clandestine manner, and in consequence of that, and fear ing that it was Mr. King's intention to leave his premises without paying him his rent, he gave instructions to Mr. Rawlins, his broker, to put a distress in without delay, but Mr. King took every precaution to keep such an unwel come visitor out of his house. Yesterday morning, soon after nine o'clock, prosecutorgot permission to pass through an adjoining house, which also belonged to him, and got into the defendant's yard by climbing over a wall, and opened the back door ; and just as he had got to the street door, which he was about to open to let in the broker, the defendant rushed out of the parlour and seized him by the collar, and, with the assistance of two female servants, dragged him into a kitchen, where the defendant took from out of a cupboard a pistol, which he said was loaded, and he would shoot any person that entered the house, and that he would keep the prosecutor prisoner till he had given him acknowledgment that he had received half a year's rent. - 'Tie defendant interrupted the pi.,;seeutor, and asked 'Ulu if he did not in the first instance tell him as a friend to go out of the house the same way he entered ? The prose cutor denied it, and said that he was violently knocked down the kitchen stairs, and dragged into the kitchen by the de fendant and his servants. Defendant—Did I not offer to pay your rent ? The prosecutor replied that he took a purse of sovereigns out of his pocket, and two Bank notes, one for 101. and the other for 51., at the same time saying, " You see I don't want money." The defendant said that on Monday last he sent a written notice to Mr. Heath, stating his determination to quit the premises within the expiration of six months ; but Mr. Heath refused to accept it, on the ground that it was " too late," being after twelve o'clock on quarter-day. Mr. TWYFORD said it was a very serious charge against the defendant, and asked the defendant what he was The defendant declined answering the question, as he thought it had nothing to do with the charge before their Worships. Mr. Rawlins, the broker, deposed that as the prosecutor was about to open the street door to let him into the house he heard a great scuffle in the passage. He distinctly heard the prosecutor call out " Help ! help !" and, from the faint ness of the tone, he thought he was being strangled. Wit ness went through the adjoining house, and ascertained that Mr. Heath was forcibly retained in the kitchen. Mr. BENETT—Are you positive that you heard the de fendant say that Mr. Heath should not go unless he gave him a receipt for half a year's rent ?—The witness replied that he was. Police constable 123, of the N division, who was on duty near the spot, stated that he knocked at the street door several times, but no person opened it or made any reply. Mr. TWYFORD said that the case was of too serious a nature for them to deal with it summarily, and it must go to the Sessions. There being no further evidence for the prosecution, the Magistrates called on the defendant for his defence. There was only one outrage that they recollected outvied the present case, and that was the late outrage upon Mr. Gee, the solicitor. The defendant said that a few minutes previous to his discovering Mr. Heath in the passage he heard a knock at the door, and one of his servants answered it out of the window. The person at the door was the broker, who said that he had brought the " notice to quit" back ; but his servant replied that she had had orders not to accept it. He told the prosecutor several times .to go out of his house ; but he thanked him for his advice, and said he should not. The defendant - called his two female servants to give evi dence in his behalf ; but they failed in so doinm, with the exception that no furniture had been removed off the pre mises. Captain George Feale, of the East India Company's ser vice, was called by the defendant ; but proved no facts either in favour of the defendant or the prosecutor. Mr. BENETT said it did not appear that the prosecutor had used any violence in effecting an entrance, and there fore nothing could justify the defendant's outrageous con duct, and the highest penalty that they could inflict on the defendant would be inadequate to the offence. The prosecutor said he did not wish the case to be se verely dealt with, and he would much rather that their Wor ships would dispose of it without sending it before a Jury. Mr. TWT Foßn, after consulting with his colleague for some minutes, said they would not be doing their duty if they did not send the case before a higher tribunal. They had, therefore, come to the conclusion to call upon the defend ant to find good bail for his appearance at the next Gene ral Quarter Sessions. In consequence of forty-eight hours' notice of bail be• ing required the defendant was given into the custody o: the gaoler. It was stated that the defendant was a superior officer in the navy. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday a grey-headed old man, of every respectable appearance, named John Croker, apparently of about 70 years of age, very infirm, having recently lost the use of one side by a paralytic stroke, was brought up in a hackney coach by the beadle of Chelsea, before Mr. White, for the purpose of being passed to his parish. The unfortunate man had been living in the parish of Chelsea, and had been reduced to apply for parochial relief, and taken into the workhouse for a time. In answer to questions by Mr. WHITE the unfortunate man said that some years ago he rented apartments yearly in Great Barlow-street, Marylebone, for upwards of a twelvemonth, for which he paid 201. per annum : since that time he had never gained any other settlement. Mr. WHITE—I am extremely sorry you have been so unfortunate to be reduced to this state. Croker—l little expected it, Sir, atone time ; but the best of us may, by misfortune, be reduced to a workhouse. Mr. Wln'rE—May I ask what situation of life you were in when you lived in Marylebone parish ? Croker—l was a butler in a Nobleman's family. I had a wife then, and I took the apartments for her and furnished them myself. Mr. WHITE said that he was extremely sorry to see him so reduced, and signed the order for• his removal to Ma rylebone workhouse, where he was taken in a coach by the beadle. A recruiting sergeant in a regiment of the line anti a young man came to the office in a very violent passion with each other. The sergeant charged the young man with swindling him out. of a shilling, and he charged the sergeant with having cempletely done him out of a valuable snuff-box. The sergeant said that he had met the young man at a public-house, and being on a recruiting party he was look ing out for recruits. The young man wished to enlist, and he asked him if he was " free, able, and willing." He said he was. He took his hand arid again said, " Are you free, able, and willing l e" He said he was, and he clapped a shilling into his hand and enlisted him. Soon after he' found out by one of the recruits that the young man was disabled, for the first joint of the fore finger of his left hand had been cut off, and the surgeon would not pass him in consequence. He accordingly demanded his shilling back, but he would not give it him ; at last he gave him an old snuff-box in lieu of the shilling, and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards he demanded his snuff-box back again. The young man said that he was now free, able, and willing to enlist. He lost the first joint of his fore finger when he was only four years of age, and it was not the slightest detriment to him. The sergeant saw his hand when lie put the shilling into it, and he immediately spent 6d. of the money with the sergeant, and it was all gone by the time the sel geant demanded the shilling of him again. Sergeant—As to this valuable snuff-box, as he calls it, it is not worth a farthing. I asked the landlord of the public house where I enlisted him if he would give a shilling for it, and he laughed at me, and said he would not pick it up. Recruit—Why it once cost two shillings. Sergeant—You give me my shilling back, and I will give you your very valuable snuff-box. I feel myself regularly swindled out of my shilling. Recruit—Mind, I charge you with holding my property. Sergeant—You may have the valuable box at any time on payment of a shilling. Mr. WHITE adjudged that the sergeant should keep possession of the box until the shilling was paid, which from the look of the article it is more than probable will remain a long time in the sergeant's family, as there is very little fear of any person stealing it. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday Frederick Vantine, a dealer in marine stores, residing in the Back-road, Shadwell, was charged on an in formation laid by Shewing, the common informer, with having omitted to make a written entry in a book of a cer tain quantity of old iron sold to him by the informer's witness. The penalty is 201. Daniel Burn proved that he sold twenty-two pounds of old iron to the defendant, and that he never asked any questions or made any entry of the same in a book. Mr. BALLANTINE said that neither the informer nor his witness could say that the defendant did not make an entry of the purchase five minutes afterwards. Sheaving said he was bound to do it at the time, and quoted the decisions of other Magistrates bearing him out in his argument. He read the clause in the Act applicable to the case, which said that every marine-store dealer should from " time to time" make entry, &c. of every thing he purchased. Mr. BALLANTINE.—Yes. I have looked at the Act of Parliament, and it says nothing about doing it at the time the purchase is made. Because you did not see him make the entry you infer he made none ? Sheaving—But, your Worship, it is for him to show that he did make the entry. Mr. BALLANTINE—Then I shall not call upon him to show that, and this case is dismissed. • MR. BECKFORD'S " ITALY."—" Mr. Beckford is a shrewd observer of manners, and strikes off a sketch, or pens a satire, with all the force and brilliance of Pope, or Horace Walpole. He is a virtuoso of the first class, not alone in ar chitectnre and painting ; but in music also, he appears to be a practised proficient, while, for his descriptive talent as regards the glories of the external world, we know not any writer whatever who surpasses him in eloquence and poetical fervour. It is a pleasant feature of this work that it should partake of the nature of autobiography. It may, indeed, be considered as a sort of history of the author's life for the number of years occupied in this Continental so j ourn, during which are recorded not only the incidents th a t befel hrin, and abundant anecdotes of the personages with whom he came in contact, but his feel ings, thoughts, and emotions. In anecdote and wit, the mag nificent creator of Fonthill Abbey is at least equal to the hero of Strawberry-hill, and is not excelled even by Cowper, over whom he has also the ascendancy in the fineness of his taste for, and in the perfection of his knowledge of art."—Morning Post.
