SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. 'e refer with pleasure to the report of a meeting held yesterday in the city, of which the object was to make application to the Lord Mayor to allow the use of Guildhall for a grand ball, which is to be given for the benefit of the " Distressed Poles?' It will be seen that our anticipations of the result of such an applica tion have been realized. The Lord Mayor granted the use of the Hall without a moment's hesitation, and promised to give the undertaking his warmest support. We congratulate the Lord Mayor on the opportunity of commencing his mayoralty with so praiseworthy an act, and he will have the thanks of all .generous and humane spirits for the prompt and hand ,sorne manner in which he has embraced that oppor tunity. We hope to see the citizens at large imitate the example which has been thus set them by their Chief Magistrate, and contribute with equal zeal to wards making the splendour of the ball, and the amount of its proceeds, worthy so numerous and wealthy a community.—Times. We almost feel as if we were insulting our readers by taking any further notice of the absurd charge brought against the Lord Chancellor, that he availed himself of the labours of others in his Central Criminal Courts Bill. As, however, the mischievous tendency of charges of this kind may not be so obvious to all as its absurdity, at the hazard of wearying our readers, we will offer a few words in addition to our former ob servations. Is it wise to divide the responsibility of public measures ? They who are so anxious to divide the merit of measures, forget that in proportion as they assign the merit of them to others, they weaken the re sponsibility of ministers. The old doctrine of • at tributing measures to the Ministers who pro pose them, and holding them fully responsible for them, is much more for the interest of the public than the new fangled doctrine which has been so perversely taken up. Were it even true that the frame-work of the Bill had been prepared by others—though Mr. Charles Phillips has proved it to be substantially the Chancellor's own, and no one has yet contradicted him—and that the Chancellor had merely obtained the concurrence of his colleagues, and then introduced it with the sanction of the Government into Parliament, would any one doubt that the measure, if carried, was his measure ? If not, why should he be held responsible on the failure of the plan ? Let us sup pose the Poor-law Amendment Bill to have failed. Would not the Tories, in that case, deem themselves justified in abusing the Government, and especially the Lord Chancellor, for the mischief caused by an attempt which had so failed ? Yet who ever supposed that any Member of the Cabinet either drew the Act or framed any of the clauses ? In all times the person who takes up a Bill and carries it through Parliament, has been deemed its author ; to him be longs the praise of the measure if successful, and on him falls the blame if unsuccessful. We repeat that it is highly impolitic to allow Ministers to throw any part of the responsibility of measures on the original framers of them. The public should be accustomed to look always on Ministers as the only responsible parties. The question, who framed or devised a measure, is one which ought never to be asked, be cause so sure as others come in for a share of the merit, so sure will Ministers be disposed to shift on them also a share of the responsibility ; and the public rviil be any thing but gainers by the change. Ministers occupy a space in the public eye ; but a measure may have been suggested by very ingenious individuals, whose responsibility may yet be worth very little. If praise be withheld from Ministers, blame must be with held from them.—Morning Chronicle. Lord Althorp, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in structed iVIr. Littleton, the Irish Secretary, to open- a negotiation with a person whom his Majesty, by the advice of his confidential servants, had denounced, al most by name, as a rebel and a traitor. Mr. O'Con nell proclaimed to the world the preliminaries of the treaty which had thus been propounded to him. Upon this disclosure Lord Althorp declared that his personal honour required him to resign his office ; and we be lieve there was not one gentleman in the kingdom who did not on this occasion agree with Lord Althorp. The Chancellor of the Exchequer therefore went out. Earl Grey, accustomed to rely upon his Noble Colleague for the management of a House of Commons which seemed occasionally very unmanageable, had not courage to struggle alone against the di ficulties with which he was surrounded. He pro. tested that Lord Althorp's continuance in office was absolutely essential to his own ; and, since Lord Althorp would not return to the Exchequer, Earl Grey retired from the Treasury. Before many months —before many weeks—nay, before many days, had elapsed, an arrangement had been effected which in deed baffled every calculation and confounded every conjecture. Lord Althorp, who had resigned office because his personal honour required him to resign it, resumed office, though his personal honour still dic tated resignation ; Earl Grey, who had retired from office because his coadjutor had left his post, was still in retirement; though his coadjutor was again in the field. The causes which had produced Lord Althorp's retreat were still in operation, yet Lord Althorp was once more Chancellor of the Exchequer ; the single cause which had produced Earl Grey's retreat was removed, yet Earl Grey had been insulted by the offer of the Privy Seal. How then was Lord Althorp's precipitate return explained ? We were told that his continuance at the Exchequer was necessary to the existence of the Administration of which he was a Member ;—that no other individual could undertake the • lead of the House of Commons ;—that upon his secession all the patriotism and all the talent of the Cabinet would be at once lost to the country. Mr. Hume, and we know not bow many hundreds of the people's RepresentativeS, besought Lord Althorp to avert so sad a catastrophe, and to retain the position which he alone could worthily fill. Lord Althorp suffered himself to he convinced. He sacrificed his personal honour that he might save the sinki State. It was suggested by one of the journals which ridiculed this monstrous absurdity, that an event might speedily happen which would remove Lord Al thorp of necessity to the Upper House, and deprive the Government in the House of Commons of those services which were so preposterously trumpeted as in dispensable to its existence. The event has now oc curred. Lord Althorp must of necessity go to the Upper House. Having reminded our readers of these circumstances, which took place but four months ago, let us ask them to watch now the event. Lord Al thorp, in July, resumed office, because the continuance of the Administration required that he should lead the House of Commons. He can no longer lead the House of Commons. Will he now retire from office? If he shall still cling to its sweets, the country will see that the rea son he assigned for his coy consent was a miserable pretext, and that in fact lie hastened back to place simply because the purpose for which he had left it was gained in the expulsion of Earl Grey. The Ad ministration, in July, would have been dissolved but for the return of Lord Althorp to the Exchequer. Lord Althorp can no longer remain at the Exchequer. Will the Administration be now dissolved ? If it shall still continue its calamitous career, the country will know how to appreciate the virtue and the wisdom of those senators who, at the bidding of Mr. Hume, pro nounced that there was no hope for a nation's . safety but in the prolonging of the official importance of one dull man. The elevation of Lord Althorp to the House of Peers is, in many respects, an interesting event. But to us it seems especially interesting, as it promises to throw some further light upon the motives which guided the actors in what we have throughout i believed to have been a ve r y base intrigue.—Morning Post. Nothing is as yet settled respecting the vacant and most important office of Chanc ellor of the Exchequer. The wish is, in a certain quarter, to appoint Mr. Spring Rice, whose knowledge of details is unquestion ably unexceptionable ; but it is suggested, and justly we think, that the leader of the House of Commons should be a man of more character and more weight. In this respect Mr. Abercromby, though not especially fitted, so far as we are aware, for the office of Finance Minis ter, bears the bell over all his competitors, and is deci dedly the favourite with all the Members of the House of Commons with whom we have had an opportunity of conversing. In all Cabinet arrangements, however, lisp question of who is the fittest roan for the office is THE SIT, LONDON, THURSDAy, NOVEMBER 13, 1834. the last which is put. Intrigue and influence do that which a regard for the public welfare only ought to determine. There never was a. time, however, when a Prime Minister ought to be more upon his guard against such an 'abuse of office and influence as the present ; and from Lord Melbourne's conduct in the matter, a fair average judgment may be had of the con duct and duration of his Ministry. We again say, let him not consider himself too safe in his position—let him think of those with whom the supporters and members of his Government will have to contend in the ensuing Session, and he will see at once that they will have no boy's play to perform. Verily with Peel, Stanley, and Sir James Graham, the office either of Leader, or of Chancellor of the Exchequer, is not very greatly to be envied.—Morning Advertiser. Among the mediocrity of financial- talent which at the present day moves in the sphere out of which a Chancellor of Exchequer if to be selected, it matters little what candidate for the appointment has the pre ference. If the new Minister of Finance is only to follow the course of financial legerdemain and trickery which has been pursued by his predecessors for many years past—if, instead of being expected to exercise a capacity able to grasp, revise, and reform our whole system of taxation, which is radically vicious, he shall only be required to devise some temporary expedients to prolong the existence of the system, whilst it is possible for a cobbling ingenuity to keep it together, a man may be found in every office of Government fit for that purpose. Indeed there is not a clerk in any of the offices who is quick at marshalling figures and mystifying accounts who could not, by a little tuition in the arcana of the red tape school of statesmanship, become qualified to control and administer the finances of this great empre. So little do some of the Whig Journals think of the necessity of any high qualifications for the office, that they have actually named Mr. Littleton as one of those who may possibly succeed Lord Althorp. What soli of adept Mr. Littleton is in figures we have no oppor tunity of knowing, but we do know, and the public cannot easily forget, that he cut a very miserable figure in his late " confidential intercourse with AR. O'Connell—an intercourse equally marked by disin genuousness of purpose and imbecility of conduct, the exposure of which in the House of Commons, along with the detection of some other low trickery of certain members of the Cabinet not yet publicly explained, led to the retirement of Lord Grey in disgust from his Majesty's Councils. It is strange, indeed, that so recently after such an exhibition the name of Mr. Littleton should be obtruded on the public for the high and responsible office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Is the Finance Minister, whose talents, discretion, and political character, should command the respect and inspire the confidence of the nation, to lie carved, like a heathen god, out of any block—ex quovis ligno fit Mercumus? Another candidate is stated to be Sir John Hobhouse. The official life of Sir John has been a very short one, not yet half the length of a London apprenticeship to the craft and mystery of a cabinet-maker, yet it has had many changes. Scarcely has he learned the rudiments of his duty in one office when he has been transferred to another. Indeed, though long accounted a sturdy Radical, the circumstances under which lie first en tered office gave great promise of a sufficient flexibility of principle to suit the policy of the Whig Ministers, having succeeded to the office from which Sir Henry Parnell was dismissed, because he declined to vote for the scandalous Russo-Dutch Loan job. But pli ancy of principle alone will not fill a Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget with the riches of , financial wisdom. Even in the department of the Woods and Forests, if we may judge of the jobs now going on in the neighbourhood of Westminster Hall, Sir John fills the Chief Commissioner's chair more for ornament than use. Of Mr. T. Baring's financial talents we know nothing, and if there was anything worth know ing, we presume the public would have found it out before now. The last, but not least of the candidates mentioned is Mr. Spring Rice. We readily admit the prior claims of that gentleman to the others, even though Mr. Abercromby, who has managed his own finances very well under both the Wellington and the Whig Administrations, should be enumerated among them ; yet the probability that the Office will be conferred upon Mr. Rice is only another proof of the dearth of superior intellect at the present day. This gentleman is industrious ir! the discharge of official duties, and attentive to business, at least comparatively so with some of his colleagues. He has had some practice in financial arithmetic, but still he is a mere man of detail. The great princi ples of the science are beyond his grasp. To say that he may make a better financier than Lord Althorp is not to pass upon him any very flattering eulogium. If ever there was a time when it required a man of su perior intelligence and commanding intellect to take the charge of the financial affairs of this country, it is the present moment. The good or evil is incalculable that the country may enjoy or suffer from the wise or inca pable management of its finances during the next year or two. Things have come to that state when neither official tactics nor the resources of a small ingenuity can pass current for financial science and wisdom. Trickery has too long prevailed in that as in other departments of the State, but in no department is trickery so mischievous. The country is in the state of a most reckless prodigal, over head and ears in debt. Like a prodigal it has long lent a ready ear to flatter. ing and fallacious accounts of returning prosperity, and to the hollow schemes of financial pretenders, who, like tinkers, make two holes where they mend one. The country now begins to be convinced that if ever it is to escape from its embarrassments, and to avoid the ruin in which those embarrassments will otherwise ter minate, it must look boldly at the state of its accounts. It must alter a system thoroughly under which relief and prosperity have been promised by every successive pretender who has assumed its management, but under which difficulties only accumulate, and danger becomes more menacing.—Morning Herald. INCENDIARISM.—SOOII after seven o'clock on Tuesday evening last, a fire broke out a crew-yard, about half a mile from Colsterworth, in the occupation of Messrs. Jack son and Rudkin, of Stainhy. When first dicovered, the flames were burning in two places—in the barn, and in a rick of barley in an adjoining hovel. The previous dryness of the weather, and the very high wind on Tuesday evening, caused the fire to•communicate to an adjoining corn stack, and at eight o'clock the whole was blazing forth, throwing a strong glare of light over the surrounding country. Some idea of the conflagration may be formed, when we state that the flames were visible at Stamford, Oakham, Lincoln, Newark, Leices ter, and Nottingham. The fire was not completely exhausted until four o'clock on Wednesday morning. The two Gran • tham engines, and one engine from Colsterworth, arrived at eight o'clock, but unfortunately there was no water to be had nearer to'the place than Colsterworth, full half a mile off. The corn destroyed was the produce of forty acres (barley), besides the barn and hovel which contained it. A few pigs, two carts, and four beast crews, were the only articles saved. The corn was all insured in the County Office. That the fire was caused by an incendiary no doubt whatever is entertained. A labourer who had been thrashing in the barn during the day left at five o'clock, when all was safe ; and it is supposed that the miscreant who fired the premises had watched his depar ture. Mr. Rudkin is an overseer of the highways, and the amount of wages allowed by the parish is 9s. per week ; with which the men have lately been dissatisfied.—Boston Herald. TIIE BOOK-TRADE WITH FRANCE.—A table has just been published in Paris of the importations and expor tations of books between France and England from 1821 t„, 1832, with the indication of their value ; we notice the prin cipal features, observing that, for the first five years, the in crease was progressive ; for the two following the number fell off; it again increased till the revolution, and has subsequently declined. In 1821 the numbers were— Exportation from France Exportation from England to England. to France. 81,197 vols. 407,534 fr 19,036 vols 110,375 fr In 1825 ... 178,366 In 1830 ... 108,897 In 1832 ... 84,954 According to this table the number of volumes exported from France to England every year may be averaged at about 400,000, while Great Britain has exported only 80,000. This disproportion in the exchange of ideas between the two na tions who are at the head of modern civili za ti on , ar i ses f rom peculiar circ umstances. If England requires a greater quan tity of books from France then she sends thither, the cause arises from France being made the intermediate in the trade between England, Germany, and Italy, the books i n th ose languages being principally transmitted through France. On the other hand, the French booksellers reprint a great num ber of English works, which are afterwards sold on the conti nent much cheaper than those could be which are pri n t e d i n London ; a speculation which English booksellers could never undertake with regard to French works. If to these two considerations be added the fact that translations of English works are more frequent in France, than translations of French ones in England, the difference which exists in th e exportatiou of the two eouotrks may beeasily amounted for, COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 12. A gentleman pf the name of Brand, in the course of the morning, applied in person to the Lord Chancellor to. ap point a day for the purpose of hearing a motion of great importance, and he hoped his Lordship would name an early day, as Mr. Richards (the barrister), who is engaged on the other side, had several times addressed the Court, and made statements which were altogether unfounded, which statements invariably found their we into the neva.- papers, as he (Mr. B.) considered much to his prejudice. The LORD CHANCELLOR, smiling, said—" Oii ! never mind about newspaper reports, Mr. Brand." The case here dropped without a day being nam©d for hearing the motion. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 12. V. BURGESS. Mr. COOPER moved for a special injunction ex-parte to restrain the defendant from proceeding with the construc tion of a road through the premises of the plaintiff in The neighbourhood of Manchester. Affidavits were read in sup port of the application, stating that the plaintiff purchased the property in 1820, and immediately commenced improve ments, and laid out the grounds with walks and plantations, and had ever since enjoyed quiet possession. In the present month the defendant, who was in possession of an adjacent property, commenced pulling down the plaintiff's walls and cutting trees to make a way through the premises, asserting that he had an ancient right of way, which 'the plaintiff bad interrupted. The plaintiff denied the right of way, and it was clear it had never been exercised since the plaintiff's purchase. His HoNoua said that as against a quiet possession of fourteen years, the defendant must be restrained from as serting his right in such a manner.—lnjunction ordered. of the accounts, which application the Magistrates granted ; but they were refused a sight of the bills from which the accounts were made out. Now the bills could only show whether the monies had been profusely expended. The bills of the. Clerk of the Peace amounted altogether nearly to 1,2001., not that it was intended to reflect upon that officer, but it was necessary to see the items were regular and correct, and properly authorised. Many sums were, from a mistaken notion, paid out of the county rates, which required an Act of Parliament to sanction. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the Leicester case, as reported in Barnewall and Cresswell, as illustrating his position, and contended that the inhabitants has a right to appeal. An application had been made to the Magistrates in Sessions without effect. _ ....,.... .....___ Sir J. LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF COAIikION PLEAS, Nov. 12. FINCH V. jIROOK. This was a suit brought in the Cambridge County Court to recover the sum of 11. 13s. The defendant pleaded a tender, and the Jury found a special verdict to this effect : —" That a person- went to the plaintiff from the defendant, and said, I have come to give you 1/, 115.,' which the plaintiff an,swered by saying he would not take it." The witness did not produce the money, but had it in his pos session when he went to the plaintiff. The case how came before the Court on a writ of false judgment, and the ques tion was, whether the conduct of the defendant amounted to a waver of the irregularity of the tender. After hearing Counsel on both sides the Court held that, although it would have been competent for the Jury to have found the fact of waver in the affirmative, and for the Judge so to di rect them, yet, it not appearing on the face of the special verdict, they could not presume it. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 12. The Cot:lir was engaged until two o'clock with the special paper, in which there were no cases af public interest. At two o'clock, pursuant to annual custom, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Mulgrave, Lord Auckland, and the senior Common Law Judges, entered the Court, and proceeded to nominate the Sheriffs for the ensuing year. This ceremony occupied the Court until 4 o'clock. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 12. James Thomas Barman, an accountant and medical agent, applied for his discharge. His application was sup ported by Mr. Cooke. The circumstances were somewhat peculiar. The insolvent was one of the assignees of a Mr. Britton, who had been declared a bankrupt. He had been to Belgium to obtain some plate and jewellery which belonged to Mr. Britton, who denied the bankruptcy. Con siderable litigation had taken place in the matter. The alleged bankrupt was indicted for a concealment of pro perty ; but acquitted, the petitioning creditor's debt not having been satisfactorily proved. The insolvent had con siderably exerted himself, and in his accounts, which were accredited by Mr. Grey, a registrar of the Bankruptcy Court, he was disallowed a large sum he had considered ne cessarily expended. He had inserted in his schedule the other assignees as representatives of the estate, there being a balance due to the estate. It appeared there was an action of trover pending to try the validity of the bankruptcy. Mr. WOODROFFE for a gentleman named White, one of the assignees, prayed the Court to order his name as a creme ditor to be struck out of the schedule. Mr. CpoxE resisted the application. He said it was a claim ; but whether that insolvent was discharged from it was another question. Mr. Commissioner Bowzr: concurred, and the insolvent was discharged. . John Derby Shelley, an insolvent who was discharged under the Act in 1832, again applied. He had renewed a debt which appeared in his former schedule, and the Court adjourned his case for the consent of three-fourths of his creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday the owner of the auction-rooms in the Poultry was sent for by the new Lord Mayor, who'informed him that the policeman who had been so long stationed at the door of the rooms for the purpose of warning visitors against making purchases there should be ordered to quit that station, if the owner would promise to conduct his busi ness without playing tricks upon the public. The proprietor made the most solemn assurances to his Lordship that there should be no further ground for com plaint against the concern. The LORD MAYOR asked whether on the last occasion of complaint before his predecessor, the complainant, who had made a foolish purchase upon the representation of the auctioneer, had been indemnified ? The proprietor replied in the affirmative. Every satis faction had, he declared. been rendered.' The LORD MAYOR hoped that if sush were not really the case, the unlucky purchaser would call at the Mansion- House for information. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Reuben Martin Gadd, the well known pu gilist, and the landlord of the Boot Tavern in Milton street, St. Luke's, but more generally known among the prize -fighting fraternity by the name of Reuben Martin, was placed at the bar for re-examination before Mr. GROVE and Mr. TWYFORD, charged with receiving stolen property. After the examination of several witnesses the prisoner was held to bail. Q UEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday the driver of the hackney-coach, No. 61, was summoned before Mr. BURRELL to answer the complaint of Mr. Richard Buckle Teast, of Grosvenor -street, West, for using abusive and insolent language, and taking more than his legal fare. Mr. BURRELL fined him in the penalty of 40s. and costs, which Mr. Bird paid. Mr. Teast gave his half of the penalty to the poor box. UNION-HALL. Yesterday two boys named Gasby and Clayton, the former nine, and the latter thirteen years of age, were brought before Mr. Murray, each separately charged at the Station-house with stealing a watch, the property of Mrs. Crosby, a neighbour. Mrs. Crosby stated that having lost the watch under circumstances which she explained to the Magistrate, raising suspicion against the boy Gasby, she had given him in charge on the previous evening, although he had stoutly denied the theft. She added that on that, the following morning, the watch had been returned to her by the father of the other boy Clayton. Mr. MURRAY inquired if the father was in Court, upon which the fathers of the two boys stepped forward, each solicitous to be heard. It having been stated that Mr. Clayton had come for ward voluntarily, without any previous suspicion against his son, and not only restored the watch but delivered him into custody, Mr. Murray allowed him to be sworn in the first instance as to the circumstances under which he had become possessed of the watch. It was some time before Mr. Clayton's feelings would allow him to speak, but having regained his utterance lie requested permission, for the sake of his credit and cha racter, to tell his story at length, which the Magistrate having granted, he proceeded to make the following state ment : H.! said that he lived at 16, Pleasant-row, Folly, Dock. head, and was the father of fourteen children, the youngest was only born on Friday evening last, and that ten were living. That his character stood unimpeached in every' way, and amidst much calamity and many struggles to sup port his family, this was the first disgrace to which he or they had ever been exposed. On the night before he had quitted home to perform his usual duties of a private watchman, leaving his wife on a sick bed, and had returned home to a late breakfast in the morning. Immediately upon entering his house he had observed from the altered countenance of his children that something was wrong, and not being satisfied as to the cause by them he hastened to his wife's room. He found he greatly distressed and agi tated.(Here the poor man burst into tears, and said that he feared that what had happened might be her death.) Upon asking her what was the matter she said that of all their troubles the worst was now come. Upon which, sup posing the child was dead he said " If the baby is gone make up your mind to it, we have many good children left, an d may yet have more." Upon which she said it was worse than that. He having never yet known shame asked her what could be worse ? She drew a watch from under her pillow and told him that hearing something heavy drop from her boy's dress, she had upon inquiry discovered the fact of his having a watch, but from whom or where be had got it she knew not, although sha knew it must have been obtained dishonestly. Upon this discovery, having heard of Mrs. Crosby's loss, and the boy Gasby's apprehension, the truth rushed upon poor Clayton's mind, and, notwithstanding the disgrace, he at once determined on going to Mrs. C., de livering up the watch which he found to be her's, relieving Gasby from the suspicion against him, an d surrendering his ow n boy up to justice. (Here the poor man again wept bitterly.) The boy Gasby having been diAcharged and delivered up to his father, the Magistrate commended Clayton for the honourable course which he had pursued, told him his con• duct upon this occasion corroborated his assertion as to hii previous respectability, and would he hoped, when it be• came known to his neighbours, redound to his future ad vantage. An example of high principle and conscientious feeling, which had dictated such behaviour under circum statleOS so trying to. him as a husband and a parent, de served to be held up to reward and imitation. Having then addressed the boy, and extorted from him strong marks of penitence, and finding that it was his first offence, Mr. Murray said, that under such peculiar circumstances he could not expose such parents to the . pain and ignominy of committing their child for trial, believing, as he did, that he would have every chance of being reformed under their care. He, however, would advise the father to avow him to be privately whipped by one of the constables of the office. To this poor Clayton gladly acceded, and the punishment under his own eye having,- been inflicted, the boy was again admonished by the Magistrate and delivered up tq his father. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday a waterman, named Charles Thomas Pater son, was summoned by another of the same fraternity, for using a boat on which his name and number was not legi bly painted, according to law. Hambrook, the complainant, said that Paterson had been using other persons' boats for the last two years, and had no wherry of his Qvvn. Mr. BALLANTINE-Why did you allow him to go on so long infringinc , the law ? Hambrook—He took a fare from me on Thursday last. He rowed a gentleman from the East India Dock Tavern to a ship. Paterson could not deny the offence. He was forced to do it, for he had lost his own boat, and was unable to buy another. Mr. BALLANTINE-It is of the very greatest importance to the public that they should know who to summon, in the event of any imposition being practised. If the gentleman whom you conveyed to the ship had been overcharged, he would have summoned according to the name and number on the boat ; and when the case came on for hearing, he would have found out that he had summoned the wrong party, for the person making the overcharge only is liable, and you would have escaped punishment. The defendant pleaded poverty, and hoped the fine would be remitted. Mr. BALLANTINE—CompIaints are almost daily made to the Magistrates of extortions and abuse by watermen. He could not take up a newspaper but letters addressed to the Editor met his eye, complaining of their exactions. It had become a public evil. The only remedy parties had when overcharged was to summon the waterman ; but how sould the offender be discovered if he was using a boat which did not belong to him ? He was determined in all cases that came before him to inflict the full penalty, and he should be wanting in his duty as a Magistrate if he listened to any plea of mitigation. He convicted the defendant in the full penalty of 20s. and costs. Defendant—l hope your worship will givc me a little time to pay the money. Mr. BALLANTINE—No, I won't. lam determined to put you to all the inconvenience , I can. ,If I can, I will break up this system of ringing the changes .and imposing an the public. The fine was instantly paid. THE DISTRESSED POLES. Yesterday a number of gentlemen assembled at Guildhall for the purpose of promoting the object of aiding the dis tressed Poles now in England, by application to the City authorities, to grant the use of the tjuildhall for a splendid ball for the benefit of those unfortunate persons, M. W. PEACOCK in the Chair Lord Dudley Stewart, and several members of the Li terary Association of the Friends of the Poles, Mr. Fresh field, Mr. Charles Bleaden, Mr. Deputy Gorst, Mr. Ste vens, Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Williams, Mr. Fisher, and many others of the most influential members of the Corporation, and of different politics, attended for the purpose of render ing aid on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN stated the object for which the gentle men assembled. It had occurred to some of the Corpora tion that as the hall was, in consequence of the entertain ment of the 10th instant, fit for the reception of a large company, and as the •Lord Mayor had most warmly pro mised his support, it would be advisable to give a ball for thekb'enefit of the distressed Poles, whose melancholy con ditton had so strongly excited the compassion of the pub- Lc.--:(Cheers.) Triose who had fitted out the hall would "take the necessary preparations at a very slight ex -pense, and every influential person who had been ap plied to for assistance had, in their disposition to serve the Poles, nobly dropped all idea of political associa tion, so that all parties were ready to co-operate. Un der such circumstances, no doubt could be entertained of the decisive success of- the experiment, which would be an admirable commencement of the new mayoralty.—(Voud cheers.) There was one circumstance which might, in some degree, interfere with the grand object of relieving such deep distress as that of those poor foreigners. Mr. Sheriff Raphael had, with his characteristic liberality, promised to give a ball, in conjunction with the Lord Mayor and Sheriff Illidge, to the ladies of the city of London at the Guildhall. Now, as such an entertainment would doubtless very seri ously interfere with the profits of the projected ball for the benefit of the Poles, it would be advisable to apply for its postponement.—(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy GORST asked whether the consent of the Court of Common Council was not necessary in order to procure the use of the Hall ? • The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. The Lord Mayor was custos of the Guildhall, and had the sole power of consenting or rejecting ; and it was pleasing to those who applied to meet with the most ready acquiescence. He thought that it would be prudent to consult with Mr. Raphael on the propriety of giving up the plan of a ball, which might injure the cause they assembled to promote. Mr. W. PRITCHARD said that no man could more strongly feel the claims of the unfortunate Poles than Mr. Raphael did, or more promptly acquiesce in the proposition for their relief. Mr. Raphael, however, having some.time ago promised to use his exertions and influence to obtain the use of the Guildhall for a ball for the ladies, would ra ther incur the whole of the expense himself than agree to y proposition for a postponement. The fact was, that Mr. Raphael would himself be in attendance to promote by his presence the object of the meeting, if he did not consider that a construction would be put upon his taking any part in it unfavourable to the promise he had made.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Pritchard) did not think that the cause - of the Poles would be prejudiced by the determination of Mr. Raphael not to retract under any circumstances. Mr. STEVENS said that if two balls were to be given, one of them gratuitously, and the other for the support of the great charity for the Poles, he apprehended that the for mer would boast of a more numerous assemblage, notwith standing the noble spirit which reigned in the public breast. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS, of Watling-street, thought that the sole object of those around him ought to be to relieve the mis fortunes of the poor crowd of foreigners who were pining in want. It would, he was convinced that it would, be most grateful to the citizens of London to have the Guildhall ap plied to such a humane purpose, and he trusted that the Corporation would make the, most strenuous exertions to accomplish the object.--(Cheers.) Mr. C. BLEADEN said that the occasion was one which enlisted the sympathies of all, and that no party-feeling had at all interfered with the disposition to assist those 'poor s trangers, who were houseless, naked, and starving.— (Cheers.) Lord DUDLEY STEWART said that he attended the meet ing as the Vice-President of the Literary Association of the Friends of the Poles. It was with the most heartfelt pleasure he saw by the newspapers that the great object of contributing to the relief of the dreadful necessities of the Poles was taken up by the gentlemen of the city of Lon don.—(Cheers.) He agreed with Mr. Bleaden in the be lief that those who differed in politics would be found agree ing in this experiment, and ,he thought it- would be most advisable to suggest to Mr. Raphael, whose liberality had entitled him to so much respect, the necessity of postponing this ball, as, if two balls were to be given successively, that of the Poles would doubtless be attended by the smaller number.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STEVENS said he hoped that it would not go abroad that Mr. Raphael did not most anxiously feel for the dis tresses of the Poles. If any persons had suspicion of the kind, it would soon be removed. Mr. FISHER said he was convinced that &benefit to the amount of from 5001. to 1,5001. would be derived from the united efforts of the Corporation and of the Literary Asso ciation, if proper exertions were made. He then moved that the Lord Mayor's offer of the Guildhall for the be nefit of the Poles should be accepted. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. Mr. PRITCHARD stated that the general patronage given to the ball would, in his opinion, supply the want of civic patronage, supposing Mr. Raphael's ball should take place. Mr. GORST said that he could not compliment the citi zens of London with the possession of any very powerful sympathies for the distressed Poles, and he wished, there fore that a deputation should wait upon Mr. Raphael, to assure him of the necessity of abandoning his project of giving a ball. The resolution was then unanimously agreed to, and a deputation from the meeting waited upon the Lord Mayor, who instantly agreed that the ball should be held on Wed nesday, the 20th inst. His Lordship, at the same time that he promised his warmest support, expressed his entire disapprobation of a second ball in the Guildhall, and inti mated that he should noiagree to such a proposition. Lord DUDLEYSTEWART was then appointed Chairman of the Grand Committee, and proceeded to act in that capacity. The ball will, we understand, be upon the most splendid scale, and the profits will, no doubt, prove very considerable. s , PEDESTRIANISM.—A man started from the Clock Gate of Youghal on Tuesday morning at 12 o'clock, and walked backward five miles in one hour, and five miles forward in another, being ten in two hours. Thousands assembled to witness the extraordinary feat..--Cork Herald. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 12. ARNOLD V. ARNOLD. Mr. BICKERSTETH appeared in this case on behalf of i several legatees under the will of the late Lieutenant-Colo nel Arnold. He proceeded to state the facts of the case. The testator, who was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the East India Company's service, made his will, by which, after providing for the payment of all his just debts, &c., he be queathed to his dear wife, Ann Martin, 1,000/., his wines, and property in England. He also bequeathed to his dear daughter, Sophia Arnold, 15,000/., to be paid on marriage, or on her attaining the age of twenty-one ; and if the child of which the testator's wife at the date of the will was preg nant should be born, that such child should likewise have 15,000/. After the testator's death a son was born, who took the legacy. He further gave to his dear child, Louiga Harriet Adams, the interest of Calcutta sicca rupees 100,000, and to her mother the interest of 10,000 sicca rupees. The testator also bequeathed to all his nephews and nieces living at the time of his death, 4001. each, with 5 per cent. compound interest, to commence from the day of their birth, and to be settled at their attaining the age of twenty-one or marriage. He then made several other be quests, and appointed his brothers James and William Arnold and Sophia Phipps his residuary legatees. In ad dition to which the will provided that in case any differences should arise between his executors he desired that they should be settled amicably, everything doubtful being construed for the benefit of his natural daughter Louisa Harriet Adams. The estate was found insufficient, and the present hill was filed for an account, abatement of the legacies having become necessary. The cause came on for a hearing, and it was re ferred to the Master to inquire what was the amount of the property the testator was possessed of in England at the time of his death, and what was the amount of the property the testator was possessed of in India. The Master made his report, and the case came before his Honour on an excep tion to that report and on further directions. The Master had proceeded to make a special inquiry concerning the amount of the testator's property in England at the time, of his death, and he had found it to consist of 734/. in debts, bills, and cash at his bankers ; 810/. New Four per Cent. Annuities, a certain box and trunk of wearing apparel, 37/. 18s. 6d„ the arrears of a pension paid out of his Majes ty's Exchequer, and an interest accruing in the life of Wil liam Anstruther, 1,700/., Three per Cents. The Master had also approved of a guardian for the children, and a sum to be applied to their maintenance and education. 'The present exception was taken to that part of the Master's report respecting the payment of the compound interest to the nephews and nieces. Mr. BETHELL appeared for the legatees, who were in fants, in support of the Master's finding. He proceeded to contend from the words of the will, and under all the cir cumstances of the case, that the Master could not have come to any other conclusion than that which his Learned Friends now sought to set aside. His Honour the Ms.sTER of the ROLLS thought that the Master had come to a very proper conclusion, for he did not apprehend that there was anything in the case to cause him (the Master of the Rolls) to come to any other conclusion than that which sprung from the ordinary mean ing of the words. Consequently he was of opinion that the Master had come to a right conclusion. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of the testator's widow, who had presented a petition to the Master, claim ing the benefit of a bequest made to her by her late hus band. The testator, shortly before his death, made his will, the provisions of which had already been stated to his Honour. The cause now came here on further directions, and the subject of the present application was the bequest made by the testator to his wife. The words of this bequest were, " To my dear wife Ann Martin, 1,0001. ; al so my wines, and my property in England." At a previous stage of the proceedings it had been referred to the Master to ascertain the amount of this property, and he found it to consist of 734/. 17s. 6d. in cash and bills at his banker's, 810/. New Four per Cents. Annuities, standing in the names of twe trustees, a certain box and trunk of wearing apparel, handed over to the petitioner, 37/. 18s. 6d., the vrears of a pension out of his Majesty's Exchequer, and an interest accruing in the life of William Anstruther of 1,700/. 3 per Cents. Mr. BICKERSTETH appeared for the plaintiffs. The ar gument of the point the subject of the present dispute was one of very great importance, and the question was whether all the property a testator possessed in England could pass under a bequest of " 1,000/., my wines, and my property in England." He proceeded to contend, from the words of tho bequest, that the testator had intended only to give the present petitioner 1,0001., his wines, and all his property in England of that nature which might be handed from one party to another. His HONOUR reserved his judgment on this point. Mr. BICKERSTETH was proceeding to the next point re ' speeting the bequest of the interest of the 100,00 0 Calcutta sicca rupees to the testator's natural daughter, Louisa Har riet Adams ; but the Learned Gentleman representing that latter person not being in Court, His IloNotra consented to the case standing over till to morrow (this day). BAIL COURT, Nov. 19.. V. KELLY AND OTHERS. Mr. MOODY appealed to the Court for a rule to show cause why leavin g th e d ec l ara ti on in this case (an action of ejectment) at the house of the tenant in possession should not be deemed good service. The circumstances of the case were somewhat peculiar. Part of the house was let to a person named Warren, who underlet to other persons, who had since turned it into a common gaming house. The plaintiff had made every inquiry as to the names of the per sons in possession, and all he could learn was that five per sons, of the names of Kelly, Snead), Freeman, Welch, and Fall, occupied the premises, but was unable to learn their Christian names, nor could he get to serve the declaration on any of them. Two porters were stationed at the door, and the moment they saw any body approach, having the appearance of a lawyer, they shut the door in his face.—(A laugh.) The attorney's clerk, who went for the purpose of serving the declaration, told them his business, b u t th e/ re fused to open the door, or to take in the declaration, use* and he left it outside the door, but in the passage of th e house. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—YOu have no affid av it s who are the tenants in possession.. Mr. Moody—lt is impossible for us to ascertain who they are. We can only swear as to our belief. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE,--YOll must swear who are the tenants in possession before I can grant a rule. Mr. Moody—Then, my Lord, this will be a case where there is a right without a remedy. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—I never beard of a case of this kind, so lam unwilling to establish a precedent. You may apply to the full Court.—Rule refused. Mr. HuTclliNsoN, in the absence of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, moved to enlarge the rule for leave to file a cri minal information against the Morning Chronicle for a libel until Saturday next. Mr. RICHARDS said that the rule required that the affi davits should be filed on Friday. Sir JOSEPH LITTLEDALE thought there could be no ob jection to enlarge the time. If Monday was given, the affidavits might be filed on Saturday. Mr. HuTcniNsoN said all he required was to enlarge the rule till Saturday.—Leave given. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL came into Court shortly after and said he was instructed to move for a mandamus which was of the highest importance to the nation. While the Government had been decreasing the public burthens, he was sorry to say the local ones had increased. Indeed much oppression had taken place in consequence. In the county of Stafford the county rates had increased from the sum of 9,0001. annually, until they now arrived at the enor mous sum of 30,000/., which was a grievous burthen to the inhabitants generally. The inhabitants of a township which he named, conceiving the rates were not justified by law, applied etkrough the aleclitou of i solicitor fvr an inspection HAN.
