Never, in a just cause I A compromise will be attempted—is in fact already attempted, on the part of the Court. The writs for a new election, after having been made out, are suspended. That is a circumstance too pregnant with meaning to be misunderstood—too important - to be forgotten. The whole band of pensioners and toad-eaters, are calling " Wait—wait till Sir ROBERT arrives." Wait indeed I For what ? Till the new political creed, which is in the hands of the manufacturer, be finished in a workman-hke manner the different articles of the new faith have a fresh gloss put upon them ! ! In the mean time, while this (to all appearance) tough job is in progress, the wheels of government are at a dead stand-still for weeks and weeks. All the re- lations, civil and social, domestic and foreign, of this mighty empire, are thrown into a state of uncertainty—some of them exposed to imminent peril, until a gentleman, on his travels in Italy, can make up his mind how many of his principles he shall discard—how many others modify, so as to render himself a fit instrument for carrying on the designs of a faction bent on destroying the liberties of England ! ! That Sir ROBERT PEEL will undertake to lead in the present House of Commons, as a Reformer, we can scarcely believe. On what can he rest his claim to its confidence ? The basis of confidence is character, and the basis of character is consistency. With what face, then, can he stand up in his place, and unsay every thing that he has said during the last four years ? What urge ? Expediency ? What I—for expediency forswear every principle which he has sworn to maintain, and in the same breath demand the confidence of the people's Representatives I The supposition is monstrous. And if he cannot meet the people's Re presentatives, will he dare to meet the people themselves? Let him try another election. " Measures, not men," is now to be the apology of changelings, and the pass-word of certain sophists.. Who but men make measures ?—as the man is, so must be the measure. What bad man would devise a good measure, save in accident, or the design of ulte rior evil ? Man can judge of man but by the corres pondence of his words and deeds ; of his principles of action by the tenor of his practice ; of his honesty by his dealings. The wolf is not the less a wolf for donning the skin of the sheep. What lapidary would entrust his implements to the hands of a blacksmith ? If your neighbour closes his preachment on morality by picking your pocket, what do you infer ? Will a blind man see by borrowing your spec tacles ? Can a Conservative, without either hy- pocrisy or dishonour, uphold or execute any one measure based on Whig, or Liberal, or Radical principles ? Can the Duke honestly or consistently work out the details of reform, according to the no tions of either, when " it is matter of history" that he hates the principle ? And yet the people are called upon to gird the loins of their enemy with their own chief weapon of defence. But the measures—not men-ites—tell you that his Grace now, from seeing the necessity of conciliation, or from time-corrected judg ment, is willing to cede something to the loud voiced demands of the people ! So, then, here we find his Highness placed on the horns of a pretty dilemma. Either he is so short-sighted a statesman as to require the up-rising of a whole nation to correct his errors of judgment ; or he consents to become the instrument to effectuate what, as an ho nourable man, he in his conscience believes to be un wise, unjust, and impolitic, simply because he is com pelled by mere numerical force. Now what, when he has thrown you your bone, what guarantee is there for the betterance of his future vision ? What surety that his judgment may not hereafter chance to be warped by a stimulus of a somewhat different charactei, but which it is his pleasure to consider equally compulsory—the interests of his own party. The ambition of the Duke is not of a very milk-sop character. He is not the fond vain man to be content with the shadow of power ; for the retention of this shadow, to do violence to his own yearnings, merely to please the public behests, and straightway pray heaven for forgiveness, hoping no great harm may come of his temporising. The ambi tion of the Duke is boundless, and boundless is his appetite for power ; yet this is the man for the people's measures ? Up and be doing, Englishmen ! Let no man be so supine as to trust to others for that assistance which the united contributions of every individual can alone make sufficiently effectual. Up and be stirring ! Secure to yourselves the great objects of your present aspirations ; first secure that blessing, and that attained, .let any Duke in Christendom take office if he will, he can do no harm. The Reformers of Birmingham and Manchester are once more in the field. The right arm of England— her manufacturing and commercial industry—is again, as during the fierce struggle for Reform—boldly and threateningly raised in defence of the sacred rights and constitutional liberties of the people of the United Kingdom. Whatever were the oversights and faults of the Whigs—whatever blame the staunch and un. unflinching advocates of Radical Reform in all our institutions, attached to the conduct of a Cabinet whose greatest oversight was in yielding too much to the sug. gestions of its, and the country's, deadliest enemies— however much the Whigs erred in these respects, all is now forgotten in the alarming prospect which the Duke of WEL L NGTO N's accession to power has opened to the country. From one end of the Kingdom to the other the moral shock has been felt-,-nay all Europe begins to be agitated by the late change in the British Cabinet, and the people of England may de pend upon it, that the Duke's continuance in office— were such an event possible—would lead to a war on the Continent, which would involve the fate of Bel gium, Spain, and Portugal, in its immediate conse quences. England never more needed the giant ener gies of her sons than she does at present. There is not a moment to be lost. The time is come when every man who values the Constitution under which he lives, is called upon to raise his voice in defence of it. More is not necessary to effect the total downfall of the Conservative party. The KING has an un doubted right to exercise his prerogatives, but then it must be remembered that the people, too, have their prerogatives, the exercise of which is equally sacred. On both sides the risk, if there be any, must rest with the party hazardin g it. The right of the people to meet and petition for any con- dresses to the Sovereign they forget neither the honour due to the chief Magistrate, nor the respect they owe to themselves. They do not approach the Throne in the attitude of slaves crouching before a despot, but with the erect port and intrepid bearing of Britons— stitutional purpose, is a prerogative as sacredly inhe rent in them as any possessed by the Crown ; and no dangerous, or rather traitorou , , delicacy towardi what may be thollght the pleasure of the highest personage in the kingdom, ought to be allowed to interfere with its just and proper exercise. The KING, we grant, acts constitutionally in dismissing his Ministers for any, or for nb reason ; but we are not aware that the Constitution empowers him to vest the whole autho rity of the defunct Cabinet in a single individual, or to dispense with a Ministry altogether. The maxim that " the King can do no wiong," presumes the existence of responsible advisers, otherwise it ceases to hold good, and Royalty becomes responsible for its own acts. In an excellent letter addressed by Mr. HUME to the Electors of Middlesex, and which we publish in another column, we find the following admirable para graph on this subject : " We are, indeed, placed in an unprecedented situation : for ten days the whole responsibility of every department of the Government (save that of Lord Chancellor), has been vested in one man. It may be ten—it may be twenty more days ere Sir Robert Peel, on whom it seems, our fate depends, arrives, to say whether we have or have not an Administra tion I ! Had it pleased his Majesty to call to his Councils Lord William Bentinck from India, instead of Sir Robert Peel from Italy, we might have been kept in this situation for a year. If it be competent to one man to hold all the offices of the State for one week, why not for one year ?" And if for a year, why not for seven years, or seven centuries ? The principle once admitted, the conse quences are quite legitimate. To admit that the KING may suspend the Constitution, is to grant that he may abrogate it altogether. The Conservatives affect ,o despise the alarm which now prevails in all parts of the country. Are they Englishmen who can-behold unmoved the whole power of Great Britain trans- ferred to the grasp of one man, and that man an avowedly unprincipled soldier, and 3et ridicule the fears of the people ? Is there no cause for just remonstrance when we see our army, our fleet, our commerce, our manufactures—in one word, our lives and properties all placed under the controul of a man whose fame is built on the absence of every quality of head and heart which dignifies, and civi vilizes human nature ? We blush for the baseness of those who feel thus indifferent to the fate of our country. We cannot stoop to reason with beings so degraded—so steeped in the mean abjectness of sla very—that they would rather hazard the loss of the Constitution, than run the risk of hurting the personal vanity of the SOVEREIGN, when acting under the in- COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(TIIIS DAY.) WILKES V. ARGENT. Mr. THESSIGER (with whom was Mr. MILLER) stated the case. It was an action for false imprisonment brought by Mrs. Anne Wilkes, a widow lady in rather humble circumstances, against Mr. Shadrac Frederick Argent, painter and plumber, of Fetter-lane. In the month of November, 1832, the plaintiff took a house in Bury-street, St. Mary Axe, for the purpose of letting unfurnished lodgings, and employed the defendant to paint and make some repairs, which amounted to 171. 12s. ; the defend ant in his bill made additional charges, amounting to nearly a pound, for painting directed to be done by one of the lodgers, which the defendant • subsequently deducted, on Mrs. Wilkes's re presentation. Mrs. Wilkes not being fortunate enough to procure lodgers, was obliged to give up the premises in the month of April following, and at that time she gave the defendant her acceptance for 171. 125., he having acknowledged, in the , presence of a wit ness, that he had no further claim on her. he plaintiff being in difficulties, was probably the motive which induced the defend ant to resort to the unjustifiable expedient of which his client that day complained. It was impossible to stigmatize that proceeding any other than most unjustifiable and illegal. By the well known law of this country, no person can be arrested for a less sum than 201., and in order to secure the person of Mrs. Wilkes, the defendant made affidavit that she owed him a sum of 20/. and up wards, and took out a writ of capias, upon which the poor woman was arrested, torn from her family—her children left unprotected, and she was carried to a lock-up house in Cursitor-street, Chan cery-lane, and remained there in confinement from Saturday until the following Tuesday, when she succeeded in procuring two friends to become bail for her. Mr. Argent subsequently refused to bring his case into Court, and his client was obliged to move for judgment, as in case of a nonsuit, the rule was made absolute, and Mr. Argent was compelled to pay the costs of the action. He was at aloss to know what defence could be made. He would leave it to the Jury to say what damages they would award for this gross and grievous act of oppression, and what judgment they would pronounce upon a proceeding which would go to convert that law framed for the pro tection of all into an instrument of cruelty and oppression. Witnesses were then called to prove the case as stated by the plaintiff's counsel Mr. Sergeant AwnnEws addressed the Jury for the defendant. He contended that the present case was merely an attempt, on the part of the plaintiff, to avoid the payment of a just debt, and to ob tain damages for an injury which she never sustained. The Jury would pause before they would take it for granted that a respectable young tradesman would voluntarily make affi davit to a falsehood. He would call a witness to prove that there was extra work done, amounting on the whole to 201.185. 61., and when the defendant applied for payment, Mrs. Wilkes said she could only give him a bill for the first agreement, amount ing to 171. 125., and that the remainder should be deferred to ano ther time. This accounted for the bill of exchange being only drawn for 171. 12s. Mr. Weiss, agent to the landlord of Mrs. Wilkes's house, was examined, and deposed that he heard Mrs. W. say she had laid out 171. on painting; at this time there was work going on, under the defendant's directions. Witness thought the painting work well worth 201., he had heard a bad character of Mrs. Wilkes with re spect to money matters, and recommended Air. Argent to be cau tious in any pecuniary transactions with her. Mr. THESSIGER replied, in a very eloquent and animated manner. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the Jury, after deliberating for ten minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 40s. NEW CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Robert Henry Franks, otherwise Henry Franks, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury, under the new Mutiny Act. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the prosecution, said it was instituted by the Master -General of the Ordnance upon that clause of the Mutiny Act, which was introduced for the nurpose of preventing men from enlisting into and receiving bounties from more than one regiment. After stating the points, which were afterwards elicited, he called witnesses. After which— The Jury found the prisoner guilty upon the second count, which charged him with perjury in swearing that he had never been in the army before. Mr. ADOLPHUS said the young man having been found guilty, it was his duty to state that the Master-General of the Ordnance had no wish to press heavily upon him, and wished the Court to deal as leniently with him as possible. Mr. Justice PARKE said the prisoner ought to be very much obliged to the prosecutors, for their recommendation. As the case was the first under the new act of Parliament, it was most pro bable the Court would pass a very lenient sentence. James Ogden, the young man who was lately charged at Hatton Garden with transposing the marks of the Goldsmith's Company from one ring to another, was now indicted for the offence. The facts of the case were so recently before the public, that we con sider it unnecessary now to repeat them. Mr. Pimars and Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. ADOLPHUS for the prisoner. A great number of most respectable jewellers, and other persons in trade, gave the prisoner a most excell en t ch arac t er f or honesty ; many of them had known him for from six to ten years. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, told the Jury that the case was one requiring the utmost attention, for the prisoner, if found guilty, must suffer the punishment of fourteen years' transportation. If they had the slightest doubt upon the subject, it would be their duty to give considerable weight to the high character which the prisoner had received from fifteen or six teen most respectable witnesses. The Jury, after consulting for a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty of transposing the marks from one genuine ring to another, but without any felonious intent. Mr. Baron BOLLAND said there was no mention of the intention with which the act was done. The Jury required the section of the Act to be read. After a short consultation between Mr. ADOLPHUS and the Learned Judge, the latter said he would take it as a verdict of Guilty, but, of course, he would take a note of the verdict. The Jury again turned round, and after consulting for a few mo ments, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. BODKIN, on the part of the Company, also joined in the re commendation, and as the Act was express as to the punishment, they would forward it to another quarter. fluence of dangerous councils. The excellent speeches delivered by the tried Re• 'ormers of Birmingham will be read with deep interest )y every real friend to the country. It is enough to re• fer to them ; they are everything that they ought to be on such an occasion. It is not an easy matter to rouse the English nation ; but once up, there is no diverting it from the object for which it rose. The people will not be trampled upon—they will not suffer their liberties to be nade the playthings with which a pouting courtier is ,o be put in good humour. Most heartily are we rejoiced to perceive the determination with which the " Great Captain" is resisted at the very onset. The Church will and must be reformed—the people have spoken it.

Ashurst, Stevens, Wire, and Pritchard, communicated to the meeting, what had taken place in the Court of Com mon Council the preceding day, on which occasion the Lord Mayor had stated his willingness now to call a Common Hall, if such a requisition as he should approve of were presented to him. The requisition actually delivered was then read, it being in these words :—That the Lord Mayor should be requested forthwith to call a Common Hall " to deliberat e on the measures which ought to be adopted in the present alarming aspect of the affairs of our country." After a conversation in which Messrs. Travers, Dillon, W. H. Hall, Fearon, Lawrence, Effingham Wilson, & c . took a part, it was unanimously resolved :—" That the re quisition already presented by the deputation is one which the Lord Mayor ought to have complied with, and it is the opinion of this meeting that it would be a compnomise of the rights and privileges of their fellow-citizens to present any other requisition on this occasion." The requisitionists then adjourned to meet again early next week, in order to make arrangements for a public meeting of the Livery. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK. The only arrivals we have this morning are one French mail, with the express from Paris. A further sale of teas, imported direct from Canton, took place yesterday, b e i ng the remainder of the cargo of the Charlotte. The prices realized, considering the quality, were good. The sale wag adjourned until Monday next, when the East India Company's querly sale will commence. - Shonal. the report prove correct of the expected arrival of Sir R.

P. for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, will make his appearance in the field in the event of a general election. If he should, the friends of Liberty and Reform are prepared for him. Sir M. W. Ridley, the other Member, will also require all his energies to secure his seat, from the known opposition of the worthy Ba, ronet to the declaration of the Earl of Durham at Glasgow. It is rumour e d th a t t h e H on . H . T . Li ddell will oppose Lord Howick for the northern division of Northumberland.

APSLEY HOUSE.—The following curious particu lars relating to Apsley House, the residence of the Duke of Wellington, at Hyde Park-corner, are not, we believe, gene rally known ; they may, however, be relied on as facts. As George 11. was riding on horseback one day in Hyde Park, he met an old soldier, whom he recognized as having fought under him at Dettingen, and with great condescension fell into discourse with him. In the course of conversation the King asked what he could do for him? " Why, please your Majesty," returned the soldier, " my wife keeps an apple-stall on the bit of waste ground as you enter the park, and if your Majesty would be pleased to make us a grant of it, we might build a little shed and improve our trade." The King com plied with his request, and the grant was accordingly given him. The shed was erected, the situation was excellent, and the business of the old woman became brisk and prosperous. After some years the old soldier died, and the grant of the late King was forgotten. The then Lord Chancellor, attracted by the eligibility of the situation, removed the old woman's shed, and laid out the ground as the site of a mansion. Alarmed, but not venturing to contend with such a high autho rity, she consulted with her son, who was articled to an attor ney, how she should act in such an extremity. The son calmed her fears by promising to find her a remedy as soon as the structure should be completed. When this was done, he waited on his Lordship to request some remuneration for what he alleged to be a trespass on his mother's rights. The Chan cellor, when he perceived the claim to be reasonably founded, tendered a few hundreds of pounds as a compensation, which, however, under the advice of her son, the old woman rejected, and on the next interview the son demanded 4001. a year as a ground rent, when his Lordship acceded to the proposal, and Apsley House yields to this day the above ground rent to the descendants of an old applewoman.

FROM THE MAINE, N ov . 6.—Th e 774: es takes occasi o n from an article in th e All geme i ne Z e it unq , pub,: ; shed some days ago, relative to Prince Mette r nich, to m a k e a violent attack on that statesman, the sum and s u b s t a n c e o f w hi c h ma v be reduced to the not unfounded accusation th a t P r i nce Metter.iich is un favourable to the revolutions which have broken out in several countries during the last thirteen or fo ur t een years. Jt seems very strange to hear from the Times a reproach of the .Bava rian Censorship, for having suffered the All emeine to print an article which it declares to be an affront to all Go vernments founded on a revolutionary basis. Though we arc very constant readers of the Times, we do not recollect that at ever before expressed a wish to silence its adversaries by the Censorship. It must, doubtless, be greatly at a loss for argu ments, when it desires to place its own cause, the cause of re volution, in which unlimited freedom of the press is an essen tial ingredient, under the protection of the German Cen sorship, which it so much abhors. But let us pass over this anomaly ; let us for a moment put Prince Met ternich out of the question, and consider the colas° which the policy of Austria follows, and the results of which we see in the situation in which that Monarchy presents itself to our view. All reasoling seems to be superfluous ; we need but to look at the most notorious and simple facts; we ask nes more than that people may take the trouble to compare tho tranquillity and happiness of Austria with the state of theses countries which revolution has visited, or in which it is now in full activity. How many Spaniards, how many Portuguese, may there be who prefer the present state of things in their country, to the peace and security which the inhabitants of all the provinces of Austria enjoy ? Take the adherents of what party you please, no man in the world, with the exception of a small number of adventurers, can think a sstem of Government desirable which, as in Spain and Per.. tugal, is every moment threatened with dissAution, and whose ! duration the most sanguine would not presume to insure for a fortnight ? The happiness, of Austria, the peace of Europe, order and justice, these aro the great objects which the policy of Austria has constantly in view ; it has succeeded in promoting the internal prosperity of the monarchy, and maintaining peace between the great powers ; and if in spite of all the efforts of the policy of Austria, order and justice have not been everywhere maintained in Europe, it bastheen only in those countries in which the sys tem followed by Austria could not exert its influence. So m icy disorders, violations of justice, and revolutions, have oc curre.i precisely in those countries, that deviate from the up right S and permanent principles which form the basis of tho policy of Austria. We may also observe that experience shows the whenever a Government thinks it has completed the dangerous circle of revolution, and wishes at length to give itself and its subjects tranquillity and peace—wherever a Go vernment proceeding from revolution endeavours to consolidate itself, one of its first steps usually is to approximate to the policy of the Colin of Austria.—Allgemeine Zeitung. MUNICH, Nov. B,—lt is believed that the Chevalier Bayard, who is gone bac:t to Lisbon, taking London in his way, is the bearer of an a nswer assenting to the matrimonial alliance proposed to our Com t ; but it is impossible to say posi tively that this belief is well ( v oided, because the negotiations d An entirely in the august fa on the subject have been carried mily itself, one of whose members: is invited to Portugal. In clearing away the rubbish of the fire at Reichenhall 11 bodies have been dug from the ruins'. The number of per sons who perished in the flames is not accurately known, but some are still missing.—Franhjiirt Paper, Nov. 23. MUNICH, Nov. 21.—His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Bavaria has given 1,000 florins for the sufferers at Reichen hall. Some journals have stated the amount of the damage done to the public buildings at Reichenhall at four millions. We are able to say, on good authority, that buildings belonging to the salt works which were burnt were valued at 412,055 florins, the Custom-house at 30,000, that the whole injury to the public buildings is 442,055 florins. VIENNA, Nov. 18.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 99k; Four per Cent., 91k; Bank Shares, I,2B2.—Allgemeine Zeitunq, Nov. 23- A GIIOST.—The greatest consternation has InrA* veiled in th e t own an d ne i g hb our h oo d o f Ki ngscour t f or soma time past, in consequence of its being - seriously asserted, and partially believed, that the spirit of Thomas Slevin, a brogue. maker, of that town, who died very suddenly of cholera about three months ago (and which was then noticed in the Drogheda' Journal, under the head of " Awfully sudden Death"), has been lately appearing. By the various statements which are afloat on the subject, it would appear that the ghost made stlll appearance on Sunday night, the 12th Oct. last, to a spindle. maker of the name of Michael Ward, and another man ; and ra Sunday night, the 2d inst., it again appeared to a labouring rn . r.a of the name of James Tuite, who had courage enough to a. terrogate it secunduni artent, when the spirit informed .1 ry amongst other things, that he was not really dead when irt. terred, when only in a trance, and that it was not with cholera he had been affected, but spasms in the stomach, or ordinary bowel complaint. He mentioned several trifling debts, he owed in his life-time, particularising one to a small leathetu cutter of the name of Owen Reilly, commonly called Master Owen, which debt was known only to the latter and the de. ceased. The spirit ordered the windows and a quantity of turf which was in an apartment called " the room " of the house he had occupied in his life-time, situate in the Chapel. lane, Kingscourt, to be removed thereform, which was accord * ingly done. He then gave directions . that his remain s , w hi c h are deposited in the chapel-yard of Kingscourt, should be dis. interred, and carried to his family burial-place at Castleblaney. This request was not, however, complied with, n or i ns i ste d upon. Tuite states that he had interviews with Sl evin ' s g h ost on the Monday night, Wednesday night, and Friday night fol lowing, when a large concourse of persons anxious to gratify their intense curiosity attended, but were disappointed, as the spirit neither appeared to nor was heard by any person save Tuite. The places of assignation were Slevin's house, and his grave in the chapel-yard. —Drogheda Journal.
