SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We knew that the false statements of what took place at the interview between the King and Lord Melbourne wcaild be authoritavely contradicted, on the very first suitable occasion which should present itself. In the answer to the address of the Derby Reformers, which we have copied into our columns this day, from the Derby Reporter of Thursday last (an autho rized report, as we have reason to believe), his Lord ship distinctly states, that it having become " his duty to take his Majesty's pleasure as to whether he would com mand me to make arrangements for filling up the vacan cies which had been thus occasioned, his Majesty was pleased to come to the determination that he would not impose upon me tliat duty, but would resort to other ad visers. This is the short and simple statement of the facts that have actually taken place." With regard to the statements in the Quarterly Review, and the Wel lington papers, Lord Melbourne says, " they are erro neous, and not to be relied on. The facts which they assert are, for the most part, extremely false, and with out foundation ; and when there is any mixture of truth, it is so disguised and perverted —so inutilated and imperfect—so altered by the addition of fiction— and so divested of limitation and qualification, as to be almost more calculated to mislead and deceive than even falsehood itself." After enis, men of candour of all parties ought frankly to admit that the statements contradicted by his Lordship are utterly without foun dation. It had been determined to get rid of the Melbourne Cabinet. Why the determination was then acted on, may, we think, be learned from the advice g i ven b y L or d M e lb ourne to the various classes o f R e f ormers . S o l ong as t h ey were united, the Tories, however desirous, were afraid to measure their strength with them. But it is quite clear that the tenure of the Melbourne Cabinet was entirely dependent on the decision of the Conserva tives ; and that the moment it appeared to them that they might venture to come forward, the King was prepared to dismiss the Whigs. Why it should have been deemed advisable to disguise the truth, and to make it appear that the advent of the Tories to power was not an affair which had been long preconcerted, is only, we fear, part of that system of falsehood and hy pocrisy that seems now to have obtained the ascendancy. Lord Melbourne distinctly states that the Conserva tives took courage from the disunion which appeared among the Reformers. " You will not consider me (he says) as employing the language of complaint and discontent, but rather that of friendly admonition and advice, if I enumerate among the causes of the late events the want of confidence which has often been expressed in quarters from which we expected support—the strong condemnation which has been pronounced upon some of our measures, which I con ceive to have been absolutely necessary—the violent and abusive opinions which have been declared, and particularly the bitter hostility and ulterior designs against the Established Church, which have been openly avowed by several classes and bodies of the the Dissenters." " These sentiments, he adds, and this conduct, occasioned great alarm in high and powerful quarters ; they terrified the timid, they re pelled from us the wavering, they rallied men around the institutions which they conceived to be attacked ; and they gave life, and spirit, and courage, to our po litical adversaries, and who, you will recollect, after all, form a very large and powerful party in this country — a party powerful in number, powerful in property, powerful in rank and station, and, allow me to odd, a party of a very decided, tenacious, unyielding, and uncompromising character." His Lordship admits that the Reformers are still stronger — stronger in sense and spirit, in reason and justice, in in struction and inquiry, in the general sympathy and fel low-feeling of the community ; but he well observes, that a party of very inferior strength will ultimately be victorious, if conducted with singleness of purpose and unity of action. This we believe to be a very fair ac count of the circumstances which emboldened the Con servatives to resume power. We have also a key to their policy in the few expressive words, that they " are a party of a very decided, tenacious, unyielding, and uncompromising character." They think they have ob tained the means of arresting the progress of re form in Church and State ; and stupid and besotted must those be who can for a moment conceive that the Conservatives have grasped power with any other view than to prevent the people from deriv ing any further advantage from the Reform Bill. How can the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, if they would, induce the party for whose sake they had been elevated to office—a party decided, tenacious, unyielding, and uncompromising----to con sent to reforms equal to those intended by the Mel bourne Ministry, when we know that the liberal mea sures of the Ministry in question caused its dismissal ? How far the Duke of Wellington may himself have countenanced the delusion which the Tinzes and some other Wellington papers seek to create on this subject, it is impossible to say. That there are lying spirits at the command of his Grace, if not in closer union with him, is sufficiently o b v i ous f rom th e numerous f a l se statements which have been disseminated in the Quar terly Review, the Times, and the Standard, and which must have been derived from quarters of some influence. They who could propagate these false hoods are capable of other deceptions. The letter of the Duke of Wellington to Dr. Curtis has been often cited as a proof of the peculiar notions enter tained by his Grace, as to the advantage which may be derived from holding out false signals. Be this however, as it may, we know that the Duke of Wel lington is merely the organ of a powerful party, pecu liarly obstinate and uncompromising, and that, whe ther he holds out promises to the Reformers or not, he cannot grant effective reforms if he would. More over, it is equally obvious that th e p arty i n quest i on will not be satisfied with the Duke of Wellington, if he do not seize every opportunity favourable to inva sions of the Reform Bill, to destroy or impair its efficacy, that the Constitution may be brought back to that high state which he so much admired in 1830, and towards which his confidential friend Lord Strang ford owned that it ought to be their object to bring it. Still admitting that the Duke and his friends may have thrown out some equivocal declaration of a disposition to reform, with a view to decep tion, it would b e carrying Christian charity far in deed, to suppose that the Times has been the dupe of such declarations. The Times has so often ex pressed itself in the most forcible manner on the absurdity of believing for a moment in the promises of Conservatives with regard to reform, that their doc trine of " measures, not men," can only be put forth with an intention to deceive. Its object is to perplex and disunite Reformers, in order to forward the views of the Conservatives. Blind almost to fatuity must those be, who do not see through the drift of the Times ; and indeed it is obvious that the people are everywhere sufficiently alive to the baseness of that journal. There has been no division among Reformers worth mentioning except at Manchester ; and that proceeded from any thing rather than sharing the views of the Times. The working classes in Man chester are, it appears, generally, disciples of a man who may not be so base as the conductor of the Times, but who is equally inconsistent, and the most perverse of human beings. We need not say we allude to Cob bett, the great rival of the Times in impudent effrontery and Billingsgate, and its superior in forcible writing. This man carries his hatred of the Whigs to the verge of insanity. He o wns i n the Register of this day that he hated the Whigs before he knew any thing about them ; and we fear he has in general no better reason for most of his hatreds. He will only cease to hate and revile without cause when the spirit leaves his body. " God forgive me I (he begins an article) but somehow or other, I always hated this faction, even to their very name. I hated them before I knew any particulars about them. It was not wickedness in me, for I had no interest in this matter ; they had never done anything to me ; indeed I had no reason to guide me ; it was a sort of instinct, such as that which makes a horse uneasy if you carry blood or garbage into a stable." This reminds us of a story told by Barretti, in his letters from Spain and Portugal. He found a man who had lived some time in England, and expressed great hatred of the English, and he asked him why he hated them ? The man, after bethinking himself some time, at last answered, " Because they use v i negar w i t h t h e i r vea l . " M r. Cobbett—like the poor Spaniard—furnishes bane and antidote at the same time. The Times is less honest than Cobbett—but we would fain be lieve, that its shifts will not serve it much. The Times, we know, laughs .at consistency for a month, or a week ; but it is impossible, that its readers, who,—a month ago,—may have been struck with the force of its reasoning against trusting the Conservatives, can now veer round with it, and yield to such arguments as the following in the number of yesterday ;—" Why should the Duke of Welling ton and other C onserva ti ves b e a b use d f or c h ang i ng their system of measures with the changed condition of the country ? Ought they to be praised for stub bornly, stupidly, and wickedly striving to govern the kingdom on anti-reform principles, after the whole anti reform machinery has been swept away by law ?" The anti-reform machinery was swept away by law years ago ; but the Duke of Wellington stubbornly, stupidly, and wickedly opposed all reform to within a month back : and the Times, little more than a month ago, told us that he was the blindest of men—that he was notoricus when in office for his utter ignorance of public opinion. And is such a weathercock as this capable of guiding the political opinions of three fourths of the people of England ?—Morn. Chronicle. Either Lord Melbourne should have obtained the King's permission to make known a correct account of what took place in the celebrated interview at Brighton, or the subject should have been, at least till the meet ing of Parliament, a sealed book. When we say this we are aware how irksome it is to be the subject of misrepresentation, and that it is often a temptation past endurance to listen in silence to statements of which we know the inaccuracy, and which we could dissipate by a word. Still there is something in the situation of a Cabinet Minister and the King which takes such a case entirely out of the common rule, and imposes upon the former a forbearance which he ought to have sufficient discretion not to overstep. Without imputing to Lord Melbourne any taste for that itinerancy of which lie must have seen and felt too much in the person of one of his late colleagues, it cannot be denied that his Lordship has been much more communicative to the little world of Derbyshire than he was to the great world of the metropolis be fore he left it. In reply to the address of the Derby re formers the Noble Lord, after attributing the breaking up of his Administration solely to the death of Earl Spencer, and passing a high eulogium upon Lord Althorp, " whose simplicity of nature and honesty of purpose were far more valuable than the possession of those more specious and imposing talents which were apparent in other men," went to state that " it became his duty to take the pleasure of his Majesty, and make the necessary arrangements for filling up the deficiency. It was sufficient to say, that in taking these steps his Majesty intimated to him that he would not impose upon him that task ; but that he intended to resort for that purpose to other Counsellors." Now this, to say the least of it, is very tantalising and unsatisfactory. It is not, to be sure, quite the case of the play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet omitted ; but it is like that play with the most interesting part of the text omitted, which, as far as disappointment to an audience goes, amounts to much the same thing. Let it be remembered that we are not pressing for these disclosures, or advocating, for the present, at least, their necessity or propriety. But the public, we think, have a right to com plain of this partial, piecemeal kind of detail. That Lord Melbourne, on leaving the King's closet, has any right, either at Derby, or elsewhere, to detail what passed upon the occasion, admits of little doubt. But then is not the skeleton without the substance quite as unfit to meet the public ear ? According to Lord Melbourne's present version of the matter, it would seem that he received his dismissal without parley or explanation ; whereas there can be little or no doubt but that there is a pretty large hiatus to fill up, without which the whole remains nearly as unin telligible as the denouement of Hamlet would be without the text. We have no doubt but that when Parliament assembles an explanation will be asked, and that Lord Melbourne will receive the King's permission to give it—to give it wholly and with out reserve, not in its present mutilated shape. Con vinced we are that his Majesty has nothing to disguise, nothing to withhold, upon the occasion. We dare say it is very true that Lord Melbourne never admitted (at least in so many words) his inabi lity to carry on the Government—that he never ad mitted (at least in so many words) that there were irreconcilable differences of opinion among his col leagues. But does it ther e f o re follow that the Ki ng did not elicit from Lord Melboure sufficient, nay, more than sufficient, to satisfy his Majesty's mind that such was the case, and that it was therefore due to himself, to Lord Melbourne, and to his people, not to trifle or temporise with a result which had, to his conviction, become inevitable ? This we feel strongly persuaded will be the course and the result which the affair must take. In the mean time it may be hardly necessary to caution a man of Lord Mel bourne's honour and discretion against allowing his zeal for his party to betray him into any premature statements which may not dovetail with the full and authentic account which he will, we have no doubt, in the end be called upon and authorised to give. The mere fact of Lord Melbourne being the bearer to the Duke of Wellington of the King's letter to him, af fords a vehement presumption that the former's dis missal was not so abrupt and uncourteous as his speech to the Derby addressers might otherwise lead the world to believe.—Morning Herald. We are truly happy to find that the advice which we have repeatedly given the Conservatives at this crisis, " to be active and united," has been, and con tinues to be, generally followed. In almost every county, and in the great majority of towns, the friends of the Constitution have rallied, and by unequivocal manifestations of their resolution to answer as Chris tians and Englishmen the appeal which their Patriot King has made to them, justify our most sanguine and cheering anticipations. The spirit of loyalty which the wicked and factious men who lately bore rule, the Broughams and the Littletons, the Ellices and the Russells, attempted vainly to extinguish, by daring to mix up the name of an honoured King with their own mischievous and destructive projects, now animates every honest heart with increased energy and zeal ; and we may assert with safety that since the period when the madness of revolutionary France banded around the throne of England whatever of worth, and piety, and talent the nation con tained, no Prince has been so truly and deservedly popular as William the Fourth. Some of our contemporaries, the organs of the discomfited faction, whose impotent rage and senseless bluster they well represent, have attempted to justify the miserable truckling of Sir John Hobhouse to the Bath Radicals, and we thank them for their uninten- tional candour. With them and their masters every species of opposition to the new and as yet untried and even unformed Government will be justifiable and laudable. The Ebringtons hold out the right hand of fellowship to the Whittle Harveys ; and the Little tons and O'Connells, forgetting all mutual imputations of treachery and falsehood, cordially co-operate to em barrass the Administration, whose anticipated crimes are that it will defend the Church and the Monarchy, carefully removing any abuses which may have from time to time crept into our national establishments— that it will protect and maintain our venerable and ad mirable institutions, promoting with zealous but careful hand those improvements which may (as dis tinguished from destructive innovation) be appropri ately termed Conservative Reforms—that it will finally redress practical grievances, and not waste the time, the energy, the patience, and the resources of the country on theoretical changes, having for their only object the employment of some scores or hundreds of useless but necessitous Commissioners, the amesperdues of faction. But whatever may be the outcry of infidels, republicans, and levellers of all denominations, banded together for evil, such an administration will merit and enjoy the confidence of the Sovereign, and will receive the zealous support of a people essentially, deeply, and devotedly attached to the Altar and the Throne.—Morning Post. We give elsewhere what may be deemed an all but official statement (from the Derby Reporter) of the answer of Lord Melbourne to the address of the de putation of the Derby Reformers, which waited upon him the other day. It does not differ materially on any point from that which we copied yesterday from ano. 'IIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1834. ther journal ; but, on the contrary, rather „confirms and strengthens it. The same naked denials of the truth of the statements contained in the Times and in other Tory papers, respecting the difficulties of the Premier and dissensions in the Cabinet, are re-asserted—the same facts respecting the King having made up his mind upon the necessity of changing the Administra tion, and substituting in its stead one of wholly diffe rent principles, are repeated—the same, though some what more ample information afforded respecting the re forms in Church and State ; in law, in commerce, and in corporations, boldly set forth. We should not in fact have deemed it neceseary to encumber our columns with this second edition of the late Premier's answer but for two reasons ;—the first, that we might not afford to our Tory contemporaries a handle for accusing us of unfair play—and the second, that we might give, in Lord Melbourne's own words, his most admirable exhorta tion to union among all reformers, whatever differences of opinion may be among them, respecting either the time when certain measures ought to be carried, or the extent of reform which they ought to embrace. "It would detain me too long," said he, " and my strength would hardly suffice, if I were to enter, in any detail, into the causes of the late events. You will not consider me as employing the language of complaint and discontent, but rather that of friendly admoni tion and advice, if I enumerate amongst them the want of confidence which has often been expressed in quar ters from which we expected support—the strong con demnation which has been pronounced upon some of our measures, which I conceive to have been abso lutely necessary—the violent and subversive opinions which have been declared—and particularly the bitter hostility and ulterior designs against the Established Church, which have been openly avowed by several classes and bodies of the Dissenters. When I men tion this last opinion, I beg leave to say that I do not condemn those who conscientiously entertain it. It is not my opinion ; but I mention it now, only po litically, and with reference to its actual effect upon the course of public affairs. These sentiments and this conduct occasioned great alarm in high and powerful quartets ; they terrified the timid, they re pelled from us the wavering, they rallied men around the institutions which they conceived to be attacked, and they gave life, spirit, and courage to our political adversaries, who, you will recollect, after all, form a very large and powerful party in this country—a party powerful in property, powerful in rank and station, and allow me to add, a party of a very decided, tena cious, unyielding, and uncompromising character. You, gentlemen, I know, are stronger than they are ; you are stronE , , in sense and spirit ; you are strong in rea son and justice, in instruction and inquiry, in the general sympathy and fellow-feeling of the commu nity ; but you are not strong enough to be able to afford to be disunited. Let me assure you of that. A party of very inferior strength' will ultimately be victorious, f it be conducted with singleness of pur pose and unity of action. You are not strong enough to concede these advantages to your opponents, whilst you subject yourselves to the weakness which arises from division, dissension, and discord."—Morning Advertiser. We are charged by an evening enemy with having neglected to take the opportunity pressed upon us by Lord Melbourne's speech at Derby, of " handsomely acknowledging the mis-statements" which he had made of the causes of his Lordship's dismissal from office. We have, then, overlooked an opportunity which has never been presented to us. The impression which we pretty distinctly conveyed to our readers was, that the King had, upon Lord Melbourne's representations. conceived the existence of the late Cabinet to be, at all events, so precarious, and so likely to be terminated soon after the meeting of Parliament, as to render it expedient to anticipate such a result, by dissolving it at a period less injurious to the public service. Lord Melbourne says that the Cabinet was not broken up by its own dissensions—not directly, we admit ; be cause his Lordship and his colleagues were satisfied to take their chance and proceed at all hazards ; but that it was broken up through his Majesty's fear of what must arise out of differences of opinion, although Lord Melbourne qualifies them as " skadt,s" of dif ferences, we have always believed, we broadly stated, and we see nothing in Lord Melbourne's speech to con trovert. That his Majesty and Lord Melbourne dif fered essentially in the constructions which they put upon the same acknowledged facts, must be obvious to everybody ; and the noble Lord's assertion that the Ministry need not have been broken up, if the King had not dismissed it, may, morally speaking, be quite consistent with truth —that is, with Lord Melbourne's opinion of the truth; and yet the King may have been as firmly persuaded on his side that no other alter native remained to him. We abide by every word we have uttered until apprized 'by authority that we were in error, and having already expressed our reluctance to go on with this subject until the moment at which the truth could no longer be concealed or distorted, we have here confined ourselves strictly to the exposure of a false accusation brought against us_ an accusation of which the justice or injustice weigh s of course but little in the quarter whence it conies.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—DEc. 5. M'DONNELL V. HARDING. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 5. His HONOUR proceeded to give judgment in this cause, which was argued some days ago, and involved a point of considerable importance relative to the liability of trustees and agents for the failure of their banker. _ _ Tha defendant, Mrs. Harding, was executrix of a sur viving trustee, was trustee of certain sums of stock for the plaintiff's under their father's marriage settlement, to which they were entitled in possession in 1830, on the death of their mother, who was tenant for life. In 1827 the plaintiff F. M'Donnell wrote to Mr. Fisher, the other defendant, and the solicitor of Mrs. Harding, expressing the desire of himself and the co-plaintiffs to have the trust funds lent on mortgage, and stating that he had purchased the share of one of the co-plaintiffs. A long correspondence ensued, from which it appeared that in February, 1830, the stock was sold, and 1,500/., part of it, lent on mortgage ; and Fisher informed F. M'Donnell by letter that he held the balance, 6001., till a proper investment could be procured, and that he would pay 21 per cent. for the money. As P. M'Donnell never objected to that arrangement Fisher was thenceforth alone responsible for the 600/. The mother died soon after, and in January, 1831, Fisher procured, with M'Donnell's acquiescence, a person to take an assignment of the mortgage, and the mortgage money was paid to Fisher in this way :—He received two notes for 1,000/. each, and gave 5001. in change. On the same day he transmitted from the country the two notes to Sanson and Co., with directions to place them to his own account, and that they would be wanted in a few days, to pay F. M'Donnell. At the same time he sent F. M'Don nell a release to be executed, and his bill of costs, and in formed him by letter that the money was ready ; and in a subsequent letter expressed his anxiety to conclude the matter, as the money was lying idle at Messrs. Sanson and Co.'s. After some delay, the release reached town on the Bth of March, to be exchanged for the money by Fisher's town agent ; but Messrs. Sanson and Co. stopped payment the day before. They ultimately paid 1,260/. on account of Fisher's claim, which was received by F.. M'Donnell without prejudice, and the question was by whom the loss should be borne ? If the payment to Sanson and Co., in the manner it had been made, was necessary for the final winding up of the trust, or if F. M'Donnell had full notice of that manner, and had acquiesced in it, the loss must have been borne by the plaintiffs. The correspondence shows that M'Donnell admitted Mrs. Harding's right to a release, but in order to obtain the release, there was no thing to show it was necessary to send the money to the bankers, and certainly not to put it to the general account of Fisher, of which transaction, moreover, there was not the slightest notice in any of the letters. The loss, there tbre, must full upon the defendants. But, as Mrs. Fisher was not liable beyond 1,500/., and as 1,260/. was already received, she remained only liable for 240/., jointly with Fisher, who was separately liable to the remaining 6004 and interest, and the defendants must pay the costs of the suit, Poetry is like brown bread; those who make it at home, never approve of what the 7 meet with elsewhere. — Mirror, HARDING V. COBLEY. This action was brought to recover the value of the plaintiff's horse, which had been killed by coming in con tact with the shaft of the defendant's cart. Th e plaintiff was a carrier, and on the evening of the 10th of May, 1833, his cart was proceeding towards Plaistow, when the de fendant's cart, which was driven by a servant, was coming the contrary way. Both the carts were on the tram-road, and the defendant's servant called to the plaintiff's man to keep on his right side, but that call not being attended to, the defendant's servant drew up as near the footway on the left side of the road as he could ; but, notwithstanding, the plaintiff's cart came forward, and caused the damage which ensued. The witnesses who were called for the plaintiff stated that the defendant's cart was proceeding at a quick rate with a party of drunken men, and that the plaintiff's cart was going at the rate of only four miles an hour, though they admitted the horse was trotting. The wit nesses for the defendant denied that the party in the cart was drunk. The jury were quite satisfied that the defendant's servant was not to blame, and returned a verdict for the defendant, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEc. 5. ROBERTS V. BROWNE. This was an action cf libel brought by a surgeon residing at Bangor and Carnarvon, against the proprietor of the North Wales Chronicle. The article complained of pur ported to be an account of the proceedings before a com mission of lunacy, and it contained some strong remarks upon the plaintiff's evidence. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 5/. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. 5. FREEDY V: WFARLANE.

Mrs. M'Farlane was con fined while there. Every thing was provided for the de fendant and family by Mr. Preedy, and I have heard Mrs. M'Farlane say that her husband was deeply indebted to the plaintiff for his kindness, and hoped they would be able to repay him.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDIIALL. Yesterday Elizabeth Land, a decent-looking young woman, attended before Mr. Alderman BRONVN to ask the Magistrate's advice. Her case was beard before Mr. Alderman KELLY a few days ago. She is the mother of an illegitimate child, which was affiliated three years ago on a farmer in Suffolk, who was ordered to pay 2s. 6d. a week for its maintenance. Until September last this allowance was remitted to her in the country, where she brought up the child. Soon after the passing of the new Poor Law, however, the parish of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, determined to carry the principle of the Act as to screening the fathers of such children from expense into operation in a class of cases which were specially exempted from the reach of the statute, cases where the child happened to be born before the passing of the Act ; to effect which the overseers resolved that no relief except a maintenance in the poor-house should be afforded to any illegitimate child. The expected result was produced, and (if we are rightly informed) of twenty two young women who were receiving weekly allowance, only two could be found who were heartless enough to leave their offspring to be bred in a workhouse. The fathers of the remaining twenty are of course relieved from the expense of contributing to their support. Elizabeth Land had travelled 100 miles to London to beg that her allowance of 2s. 6d. per week might be con tinued, as the father is well able to pay it, and she could not bear to part with her child, and Mr. Alderman Kelly strongly recommended, that the allowance should be re sumed. The parish Board met on Thursday evening, and, ad hering to their resolution, the complainant again came be fore the Magistrate for his advice. The clerk told her that her best course would be to re turn to the country, and apply to the overseers where she and her child were living for relief for that only. This would not cause the child to be separated from her, and sent up to London, but the overseer would come up to town, and, on applying at this Justice Room, would obtain an order upon the overseers of St. Bride's for the payment of a weekly allowance, which would be repaid to her. She seemed much surprised at this information, and re turned thanks. In this single instance, therefore, at least, the overseers of St. Bride's will fail in saving the father from paying for his depravity. Mr. Miller, the assistant overseer of St. Sepulchre's, at tended upon the complaint of a female named Osborn. She was the mother of an illegitimate child, which she had reared to the age of ten years. Air. Miller had stopped her allowance because the father refused to pay it, alleging that he was ready to receive and keep the child, and, making that offer, was not liable to pay. He wished to be governed by the Magistrate's opinion on the matter. Mr. Alderman BROWN could not determine whether the mother or father should have the child, but he saw no rea son why the mother should not still receive the allowance, which the father might be forced to pay. Q UEEN- S Q UA RE. James Davis, one of the workmen employed at the ruins of the House of Lords, was placed at the - bar before Mr. BURRELL charged with stealing a quantity of lead. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, and the MAGISTRATE fined him 40s. for having the lead unlawfully in his possession. In default of payment he was committed for one month to the House of Correction. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a case, of which we gave a brief notice in yesterday's paper, was called on, and Mr. Thorn, of Stan hope-street, Mr. Preston of the same place, and Weare, the man who sold the tapestry to Mr. Preston, were in attend ance to meet any charge that might be made against them. On the part of the prosecution, Major M'Arthur, Secre tary to the Lord Chamberlain, and Mr. Putman, the De puty Usher of the House of Lords, were in attendance. The office was crowded to great excess. Mr. Thorn was called forward, and Sir F. ROE address ing him, said, " Mr. Thorn, I have a question to ask you, to which 1 expect a direct answer—Have you, in the first place, produced the tapestry which was the subject of a partial inquiry yesterday ? Mr. Thorn—l have not got it now, nor can I p ro d uce it j us t at this moment, but I am willing to do so as soon as I can. _ Mr. Adolphus here observed that this course of pro ceeding was neither more nor less than an attempt to obtain admissions from Mr. Thorn which might lead to the re covery of the property in dispute by a criminal process, in order to avaid the trouble and expense of a civil action. These admissions, if they were obtained, would be used in a way not generally recognised in inquiries of this kind. Sir F. ROE (with considerable warmth)—This is the first time, Mr. Adolphus, and I will take care it shall be the last, that I have ever suffered Counsel or any other man to tell me that I have made myself instrumental in an attempt to obtain admissions from a man in a criminal in quiry which might afterwards be made use of against him. It was an extremely improper observation. Mr. Adolphus did not mean the remark personally ; but it certainly did appear to him to bear that complexion. The Learned Counsel then (after a warm discussion between him and Sir F. Roe) asked Major M'Arthur if, supposing the tapestry were produced, he would pledge himself that it should be returned to Mr. Thorn's house in case no cri minal charge was established against any individual ? Sir F. RoE—I pledge my honour as a gentleman that if no case of felony be made out the tapestry shall be restored to Mr. Thorn, but until the matter is fully and finally in vestigated it must remain here if produced. Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Thorn's solicitor pledged himself it should be produced, and in the course of the subsequent pro ceeding the tapestry was brought in, rolled up in canvass, and placed in the care of Ellis, the officer. Mr. Thorn was then called as a witness, and stated that in May or June last, he bought the tapestry produced from Mr. Preston, in the same street, for 30s. Mr. Preston came to him early in the morning, and said he had a piece of tapestry from the House of Lords, to sell. He saw it at Preston's shop, and gave him the price mentioned. Witness asked him how he got it, and he said he believed it came from a man who had been in the service of a gentleman be longing to the House of Lords. Sir T. ROE—Was there a ticket upon it upon which was written, " Piece opposite the throne ? " Mr. Thorn—Yes. He produced the ticket, and showed it to the first gentle man who called about the tapestry. Sir F. ROE—What was the size of the tapestry ? Mr. Thorn-27 feet by 15. Sir F. ROE—Did it not occur to you that it was an im provident purchase, buying as you did so large a quantity of tapestry for such a sum, especially when you knew from whence it came ? Mr. Thorn—No, Sir, I did not, for I have bought a whole room o f t a p es try, and that not long ago, for 18s. Sir F. ROE—But not of this kind, I suspect ? Mr. Thorn had rig :idea of wrong in making the purchase. He had lived thirty-five years in the parish, and never had a blemish upon his character. Mr. Preston deposed to sellin g the tapestry to the last witness, and said he b oug ht it o f a man named Weare, whom he had known many years. He told witness that the tapestry was given to him by a servant to some gentleman belonging to the House of Lords. He did not choose to take it entirely as a present, and therefore gave the servant ss. Witness added that he understood the tapestry had been used as a carpet. By Mr. AnoLmus—l sold it to Thorn in open shop. It was in so bad a state that I did not like to be encumbered with it. Sir F. ROE said the possession had now been traced to Weare, and it became a question whether he was a criminal party or not‘ He would, therefore, not swear him until he had heard whether Major *Arthur was prepared to charge him on suspicion of being a principal in the stealing of the tapestry ?_ Major Edward M'Arthur was sworn, and in the first in stance begged to state that the inquiry was not instituted in consequence of an order from the Duke of Wellington, but arose out of a communication received from the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, that the tapestry was in the possession of Mr. Thorn. Sir F. RoEs—Did you ever, Major M'Arthur, give any person leave to take away the tapestry mentioned ? Major M'Arthur—No. On the contrary, I thought it so impor tant a relic that I ordered it at once to be deposited in a place of security, and made a memorandum of the circum stance in a book, which I now produce. It was placed in a sort of press or closet over the room in the Great Cham berlain's Office, in which my servant, George Sibien, a Ger man, slept. This servant I had the highest opinion of. He had been for many years a soldier in the Imperial (French) Guards, and brought with him certificates of character of the first kind. He left my service about the 9th of June last, and went to Germany. I never authorised him to take or give away the tapestry in question. I here think it very important to state that the tapestry never was used as a carpet. Weave was then called, and being cautioned that he was an accused person, and was not bound to say anything that might criminate himself, said he was willing to state all he knew about it. He was and had been for many years employed as a porter plying for jobs about the House of Lords. He knew Major M'Arthur's servant by the name of " George" only. The latter said to him in June last, " Here is an old piece of tapestry which has been used to lay down in the Great Chamberlain's Office as a carpet. My master told me I might take it away, as it was a lum bering thing, and if you can make anything of it you are welcome." He (Weare) said he would not take it as a pre sent, as he might most likely make a trifle of it, and there fore gave him .ss. for it, and took it to Mr. Preston, to whom he sold it for 15s. Sir F. ROE again asked Major M'Arthur if he was pre pared to charge the man Weare (upon his belief) with being concerned in stealing the tapestry ? and the reply of the Major was in the affirmaive. The Chief Magistrate then said that in an ordinary case he should have no hesitatien in at once committing Weare to prison ; but as it was necessary to delay the inquiry for a fortnight to procure the attendance of the German ser vant of Major M'Arthur, who was at present, he under stood, at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, he would take very heavy bail for his future appearance. • Mr. Gifford, messenger to the House of Commons, and one of the under-messengers, immediately stepped forward and gave bail to the amount of 4001. for Weare's appear ance next Friday week. He was of course liberated. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday James Jeffrey, a chinmeysiieep, was brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT by Kimpton, the beadle of St. Pancras, charged with having deserted his wife, and refusing to maintain her. The wife had been legally married to the prisoner, who deserted her about a week ago, and she had not received a farthing from him for support, although he was doing a good stroke of business. Mr. LAING asked him why he refused to support his wife ? Prisoner—As to that 'ere, your Vorship, I can't say as how she is my wife, and I can't say as how she his'nt —(A laugh.) Mr. LAINC—What do you mean by that ? Prisoner— (coolly, and rubbing his hair)—Vy the fact o' the matter is this here, she was always arter me ; I could go no vares but she folioed me, and she knows as how she hactually forced me into the match your Vership.—( Laughter.) Mr. LAING--There she is—She is your wife, and you are bound to'support her. Prisoner—But I vont do so ; I'll take care-- Mr. LAING—Then you must give some substantial rea sons for not doing so. On what ground do you refuse ? Prisoner (indignantly)—Vy, your Vership, she has been living with another man, hoff and on, ever since she forced me on to marry her, and do you think as how I could live with her arter that 'ere ? No, never (turning half round and clenching his fist determinedly.) Mrs. Jeffrey (who had symptoms of the soot-bag about her person), with a black look at her spouse, exclaimed, " Oh, fie, Mister Jeffrey ; oh, fie ; you ought to be ashamed of yourself." Prisoner (sharply)—Vy, you knows it's true. The Beadle—Well, Jeffrey, you have no reason to grumble at her doings, for she says the very same thing of you—that you have picked up with another fair companion, and that you not only live off and and with her, but that you are now " hactually" living with her and neglecting your wife. The prisoner said it was a " and Mrs. Jeffrey res ponded, " Its true." Mr. LAING—You must support her or go to prison. Prisoner—Me support her ! I won't support her. Didn't she bolt off with everything I got ? Took the furniture, the brushes, the shovels and all, and never left me a stick or a feather to fly upon. Besides, has she not got five bob a week to live upon, and ain't that ere enough to support any respectable woman without coming down upon me. I'll not have it, you know. That's my temper. Mr. LAING—IS it ? But you must support your wife. What is the ss. per week that he alludes to ? Mrs. Jeffrey—A legacy left to me by my father. Mr. LAING—Are you ready to make any arrangement with the parish officers ? Prisoner—l'll have nuffen to do with her ; blow'd, ye know. Mr. LAI NG— Well, you may take your choice of two things, either to support your wife or be committed to prison. Prisoner—l'll not support her. You may commit me to prison. That's my temper. Mr. LAING—I have given you the choice of two things. Now you may go outside and come to terms if you think proper as to the maintenance of your wife. They left the Court, and in a few minutes subsequently the beadle and the prisoner returned, when the former in timated that the latter was determined not to allow any thing to support his wife. Mr. LAING—Then I shall commit him to prison. Prisoner—Commit me ; and I'll rather rot in prison than I'll allow her a farthing. That's my temper. Mr. LAING—IS it ? Then you'll go to prison. Prisoner—Then I'll do it. He then quitted the Court, and stood committed for three months to hard labour. Mr. LAING told the parish-officers to warn the prisoner, that his temper " might cool a little," that if he persisted in his determination not to support his wife, and suffered his commitment to be once made out, he should remain in prison during the whole of the period of his sentence, and that no after applications for release or mitigation would be listened to by the Magistrates. He was ultimately committed to prison, evidently " ill tempered." UNION-HALL. Yesterday James Stagg, the extra firemen belonging to the Fire Engine Establishment, was brought up for further examination before Mr. MURRAY and Mr. Mimi., charged on suspicion with being concerned in one of the late incen diary fires at Rotherhithe.—He was remanded. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday a tall athletic youth, named James Hutchinson, belonging to the brig Liberty, a collier, lying in the river, was brought before Mr. BRODERIP, charged with deserting from the ship. It appeared that the prisoner had been away from the ship several days, and was found at a lodging-house at Shad well. On being asked his reason for leaving the vessel he said he was not happy in it. Mr. BRODERIP ordered an officer to convey him and his clothes on board the Liberty, which is about to sail. The apprentice was then taken away in custody of the officer, declaring he was the most unhappy man on earth. ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION.—Other letters ar rived yesterday at the office of the Royal Geographical Society, from Captain Back, but they are only dated the 7th of May, five days later than the previous accounts, and conse quently add little to the information then conveyed. He was actively engaged in making preparations for his departure for the coast ; and though, under all circumstances, he had re solved to divide his party, an d ta k e only one boat and crew with him, his spirits were high, and he was convinced that no real danger need thus be apprehended. In this, too, we are happy to find that the most competent aut h or i t i es h ere concur . The Esquimau!E to the eastward of Copperminc River are considered uniformly gentle and friendly to strangers. In this direction they are not brought in contact with any hostile tribes. Captain Back's supply even of dry food (pemmican) for a party reduced as he proposes will probably be ample. The labour of transporting stores for them will be less than if all proceeded, and those left behind will push forward assis tance during the season, to meet the advance on their return in autumn. We earnestly trust that these anticipations may prove correct. We can have no .further accounts till August or September next, when we trust the gallant traveller will bring the news.
