trim or Tall ruttte JOURNALS. Whilst Ministerial movements are making, a thousand false rumours are of course afloat : one We notice to-day. It is said, that the Marquis of Angleiea, having been urged to ac cept of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, stipu lated for the retention of his anti-Catholic opinions. Now the fact is, that his Lordship always voted for emancipation. Provoked by the intemperance of the Catholics themselves, lie certainly once hinted to them in pretty strong language, that they had nothing to expect from force : if they liked to try it, let them begin. But of the propriety of placing them on an equality with their fellow-subjects by legislative provision, his Lordship never entertained a doubt ; and, with that opinion inherent in his mind, he will go out as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.—Times. It is so clearly the interest of . the King of this country (as far . as he has a separate interest) to exhibit the Government in a formidable aspect to the world, that the idea to which certain per sons are fond of giving currency, that his Ma jesty exerts his influence in counteracting and weakening the influence of his Ministers, and consequently of the Government, supposes his Majesty to possess much less understanding than the world has generally assigned to him. A Sovereign who knows his own interests will never seek to encourage hopes in those who are opposed to the Administration for the time, be cause no course could be more dangerous than to encourage in the people the habit of wavering between the men in power and those who are anxious to obtain it. In an age like this, when claims to extraordinary advancement are so con fidently put forth, it would be surprising if Kings snould not, as well as other persons, make advances in knowledge,- and study how best to maintain and secure their power and influence, It requires much less penetration in a King than that which his Majesty generally receives credit for to make the discovery, that the Royal Au thority is best preserved by changing his servants as seldom as possible, and discouraging as much es possible all hopes of any such change. All soles are, of course, liable to exceptions, and it is possible that a continued course of misgovern ment, the result of ministerial weakness or wickedness, may, from the unpopularity and discontent thereby occasioned, be more sletrimental to the Royal authority, than a change of men ; but, as we have said, this is merely the exception, and it only serves to prove the rule, that it is the Royal interest to change men . as seldom as possible, that the strength of the Government for the time may not be impaired by the habit of calculating whether it would be most prudent to look to those in office, or those who are out. We consider, therefore, all these attempts on the part of the Ex-Ministers and their friends to show that the King is secretly inclined to favour them instead of the men in office, to be not only ridiculous in themselves (because if the king really favoured them, it would be both unnecessary and foolish in them, by proclaiming the circumstance, to put their enemies on their guard, like cats which, sAlen they succeed in getting a good thing, often iose it th'rough the warning they give), but really a libel on the King, as if he were so weak as not to know his own mind, when the breaking up of the late Ministry compelled him to choose be tween one set of'men and another, and to expose the Royal authority . to contempt, by secretly en couraging opposition to the servants of his choice. The object, however, of those who persevere, day after day, in libelling the King, bye" imputing to _him a policy inconsistent with the most vulgar. prudence, and excusable only - in a boy in. his pupillage, or a man in his-se cond childhood, is obvious enough : it 'is to strengthen themselves by the adherence of all Who may feel inclined to speculate on the state of sitsubt they may produce on the chance of the Outs. But if men would only reflect a moment son the subject, they would see that for the very reason that such insinuations tend to strengthen an Opposition at the expellee of a Ministry, there is every chance against their being founded in reality. We alluded yesterday to a story re- Jecting the Bishopric of Rochester, told in the ohn Bull of Sunday last. " The object of this kind of insinuation, says a contemporary BThe Globe), is plain enough. If the John uil could persuade the Clergy that Mr. Can ning has not the disposal of ecclesiastical pre ferments, they might manifest their independence by opposing him without danger to their hopes." If the John Bull could persuade them ! But the Clergy have too good noses to follow such a scent. They are too sagacious, using the term in its original sense. Belief, as Mr. Brougham observed at Glasgow, is not volun tary ; and we should think very few of the' Clergy would stumble on the belief that Kings are fond of giving benefices to Clergymen who are in opposition to their Government. The following account is given of the transaction re .specting the Bishopric, by the contemporary above alluded to : " The facts about the Bishopric of Rochester, as they are related in those clerical circles where there is no desire to twist the truth, are Raid to be these :—A Bishopric was promised to the Duke of Northumberland, for his re lative, at the time of his expensive Embassy to Paris, and the ,Bisbopric of Rochester was accordingly offered to him. Bed all the world knows that it is a very poor Bishopric. of 'about 1,0001. a-year, and that Doctor Percy was in poesession of other pieces of Chnreh preferment, more than one of which were better than the See of Rochester. It was, therefore, doubtful whether he could take the Bi• shepric and hold all his other preferments; or, whether, if obliged to give up any part of them, so poor a Bishopric ivould be **titbits acceptance. Whether he gave up any of his preferments we. know not ; but we hope the matter was settled to hi. satisfaction, for he has got the Bishopric. " This story is at AMY *ate much more likely than that which we have quoted from the John Bull, for though it is not *possible to look through the list of Bishops without feeling convinced that there must have'been many parallel cases to the alleged bargain for" the support of the Bever yet it is not easy to conceive a lays and Northumber lands ; motive for the King, thi usting a Bishopric upon a refrac tery Deen."—Morning Chronicle. We see it confidently stated, in some of the papers, that Mr. Sturges Bourne, on his re tirement front the Home Office, gets a pension of 3,000/. ; which, it is added, taking the value of his life, would be a reward of something like 500/. a-day for the Right Hon. Gentlenisn s services since Easter. We do not believe that any such pension can be for a moment intended. If such a thing were even contemplated, still more to take effect, we know of no terms of re prehension too strong in which we should be inclined to express our sense of it. Reasoning upon it, merely for the sake of arg ument, as barely possibly, we would ask, could they be a greater mockery thin to talk of economy in the face o f an act so profligate in defiance of it, an d we might add, so destitute as it would be of common honesty ? Mr. Bourne, it has been ad mitted on athands, was an unwilling and tem porary holder of the Seals. Why he should have been so, unless from his own attachment to private life, we never could discover ; as he Would us all probability perform the duties of the ROM, Office quite as well as the person who is about to undertake them. But a precious unwilling ness for office a man must possess indeed, if tw© or three months' service as a mere locum teams, can entitle him to the same reward as is intend ed for persons who have spent the best part of their lives in the public service. Besides, Mr. Bourne has himself a high, and, as we have al ways understood, most irreproachable character b. maintain, which no man of honour, who pos sessed the bare means of subsistence, would put at hazard on such an occasion. We do not, therefore, believe one word of it ; and that such a report may not gain currency, we would strongly recommend Mr. Bourne, or his friends, to give it immediately a flat and authentic con tradiction.— Herald. 'We shall not, we trust, be suspected of wish ing to withhold one tittle of information from the public, which can with propriety be given to them ; or of; in any way endeavouring to curtail the true freedom of the Press ; but if we were asked whether the contents of an- Ambassador's bag should be ransacked, or letters in the General Post-office opened, and sent to the Press, there can be only one answer, we should think, on the gross impropriety of the public being served upon such terms, or through such means. Though our readers will readily perceive that our remarks have reference to the way in which the treaty re lative to Greece first fbund its way into print, yet we only reason generally, and from supposi• tious cases. If the copy of the treaty, as pub lished, actually came from Paris, as it is alleged to hare done, all blame as to breach of official confidence or propriety on this side of the water is at an end ; and it will be for the French au , thorities to say how such a document could be obtained out of their hands. It is clear that the matter cannot rest here ; nor can we be at all sur prised at the evident bustle and Anxiety it has created among the high personages whose signa tures the treaty bears. If any treachery has been had recotase to here, we trust, for the honour of the country, that it will be shifted to the bottom, and exposed ; if, on the other hand, the docu ment has been fairly obtained, let not suspicion for a moment rest. unjustly upon any man, or upon any quarter. With the exception of' the secret articles, we suppose the treaty may be said to have been ripe for publication, and we con ' clude, that with that exception, it would, had ' Parliament been sitting, have been, at the very moment it was published, communicated to both Houses, and would by them have been ordei ed to be printed. It is not usual, we believe, in such cases to wait for the ratification of treaties, especially when so long a period as the one taken for the ratification of this is in question. When Parliament is not sitting, where would be the impropriety of state documents being officially published in the Gazette ? If this document was, as we presume it to have been, ripe for pub ' lication, this would have been the best and most authentic source through which it could obtain publicity ; and the awkward dilemma to which, we apprehend, sonic parties may be reduced, would have been altogether avoided.---/bid. PROPOSED DINNER to MR. BROUGIIAA. IN WESTMORELAND, (From the IVes4moreland Advertises.)_ We have heard various suggestions within the last few weeks of the propriety of inviting Mr. Brougham to a public dinner in his native county; and fully agteeing_that such a mark of the increased confidence of the Freeholders of Westmoreland in his public virtue, of their high admiration of his talents, their approbation of his conduct in his late patriotic efforts to free the country from the trammels of the Tory administration, and of their unshaken attach ment to the cause which they have together so long Contended for, would be particularly appropriate at this time, we make ►to apology for inserting in this place the following communication from a Cor respondent : TO THE INDEPENDENT FREEHOLDERS OF WESTMORELAND. As it is probable that Mr. Brougham will visit his I seat in Westmoreland during the present recess,_ per mit ins, gentlemen, to suggest to you, through this channel, the propriety of welcoming his return home by a public dinner, to be given on the spot where his talents have been so often and so splendidly ex erted.in your behalf. When the frie►ids of civil and religious liberty at Liverpool,—whose connection with its ablest and most intrepid champion is only of that general cha racter, which binds together the noble-hearted in every quarter of the globe,--have led the way in the adoption of that very measure which I would now recommend you to adopt : surely the indepen dent Freeholders of West►noreland,—they, whom he has, in a peculiar manner, chosen for his own ; they, for whom he has so manfully, (I wish I might add, so successfully) fought the good fight of free dom against the strong-holds of shameless corrup tion and aristocratical despotism; they, whose glo rious boast it is, that the most accomplished orator and most enlightened statesman of his age desires nothing more fervently, than to become their repre sentative in Parliament ;--surely they, of all men, will not deny themselves the satisfaction of tender ing him this slight, but cordial, tribute of sincere at tachment. There are, besides, some reasons of temporary and contingent operation, which seem to invest the pre sent period with a singular fitness for the execut►on of such a design. You will perceive at once, that I allude to the late ministerial changes, in which, as we all know, Mr. Brougham acted a part so honour able and so efficacious. Had it not been for his powerful mediation, between Mr. Canning, on the one hand, and the party of which he was the acknow ledged leader, on the other, that disastrous alterna tive must unavoidably have taken effect—which may Heaven long forfend—the recal of those men to office, who, whatever may have been the integrity of their views, or the rectitude of their principles, were, collectively regarded, almost contemptible in point of talent, and blindly devoted to a system of adminis tration, ruinous in its tendency to the vital interests of the British people, and subversive of the dearest and best ascerta►ned rights of mankind. With the truly patriotic object of averting, at nearly any cost, a consummation so earnestly to be deprecated, Mr. Brougham cheerfully offered up all meaner aims of personal aggrandizement on the altar of the national weal, seeking no other recompence of his magnani mity, than that which is the richest of all to a generous soul—the proud consciousness of having contributed largely to the happiness of his fellow citizens. . . To proVe, then, the deep sense, unanimously en tertained by you, of the value of his interposition, and your entire approbation of his whole conduct, at that momentous crisis, what can be more natural, tha► that you should employ this method, so pecu liarly English, of conveying to him your feelings of ardent gratitude, and your determination to support him in t►me to come, as you have supported h►m in ti►rie past, with unabated zeal and unflinching firmness ? I am, Gentlemen, Your's most respectfully, S. LEITII.--On Tuesday afternoon a fine schooner was launched from the building . yard of Messrs. Menzies and Son. She was rigged and equipped upon the stocks, and will be ready for sea in a few days. She is called the George Canning, and is intended to trade between this port an Orkney. Wheat, Barley. Oats.

SPARRING, THIS DAY Jem Ward took a benefit at the Tennis Court to-day, and clllected a pretty fair muster of swells, amateurs, and originals. The sparring was rely good. Among the matches was " a Gentleman front Cambridge" and Harry Jones, in which the Gentleman proved himself a teaser of his weight, and conducted himself very respect ably. Dick Curtis and Barney Aaron made a pretty set to, and handled each other as playfully as kittens. Dick, however, having been the winner, carried the shirt.— Young Gas and Young Dutch Sam conducted themselves in a 'nest amiable manner ; Sam, although much the lightest, was remarkably punctual in his visits to the pun box of the other. The great novelty, however, was Jem Watd and Young Molineux. Masse shewed so much good-humour, that it really was a pity to pit him with such a disrespectful hitter as Jew. The latter, however, behaved most handsomely to him, merely now and then tapping him, by way of good fellowship. The dark gentleman at length made two or three unconscionable lunges with his left at Jem's victualling-Ace. The latter, however, most honourably returned the compliment with his right between Massa's ministers of light; so unex pected a retaliation put Blackee in a happy state of amaze went, and he acknowledged himself struck forcibly with our summary mode of returning past favours. Poor Blackee seemed quite out of his element, and left himself frequently at the mercy of Jem, who took no advantage of him.—After this bout Young Gas mounted the ros trum, and challenged Reuben Martin, who replied that he would be ready with his money on this night week, at Belcher's, to make a match for 501. or 1001. Barney Aaron also challenged 'Redmond, .who replied that his money was ready to put down then, to 'gilt Barney at his own time., OLD BAILEY, itiLV of the realm, a certain „ T c :;: , 4 ? n Hamilton was indicted for uti.,t' ing, as good and piece of base metal made to represent a sixpence, and being a counterfeit of thitt coin, he well know ing the same to be counterfeit. It was also charged that the prisoner was before convicted of a similar offence. The prisoner pleaded " guilty," and persisted in that plea, notwithstanding the declaration of Mr. LAW (who appeared as Counsel for the Mint) that he was not authorised, in the absence of the Soli citor to the Mint, to say that the plea of guilty would be of any advantage to him. .Elizabethßyder was indicted for forcibly taking a watch from the person of Charles Pigram, on the night of the 11th of June. The prosecutor stated, that on the night in pet tion, as he was walking through Whitecross-street, a man came up and seized him by the throat, and, while he was so held, the prisoner came, snatched his watch, and ran off. By the description he gave of her (as blind of one eye), she was arrested next morning. Verdict—Guilty. 'Thomas Norton was put to the bar, charged with having (in company with several others not now in custody) assaulted Henry Fuller on the King's highway, put him in bodily fear, and taken from his person, by force, a case of surgical instruments, two cases of lancets, two sovereigns, three shillings and sixpence in silver, his hat, and cravat, in Sept. last. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up, and the July, after deliberating in court for stout half au hour, retired. On their return in about twenty minutes, they delivered a verdict of Guilty. Lyon Lyon, aged 55, was put to the bar charged with having stolen 30 scent-bottles, some with gold and some with silver tops, value 151., two medicine chests, value Si., and other articles, the property of Dr. Reece, Piccadilly. Mr. Cope, one of the city marshals, proved that he found the property at the house of the prisoner at Cock and Hoop-yard, Houndsditch. The pro perty was claimed in a few days by the prosecutor. The prosecutor, Dr. Reece, was called to prove that the property produced was his. On his cross-examination by Mr. LAW, witness said he believed in the ?piety Testament on which-he: was sworn, and repelled indignantly the insinuation conveyed by the question. Mr. LAW said that he might have been misin structed, but he had been given to understand that witness was a kind of believer in the reveries of the late Mrs. Joannah Southcote. Dr. Reece was about to address the Court, but The RECORDER interrupted him, and said he could not be allowed to proceed, Mr. C. Pllthurs said, if the Doctor was allowed to go on, the end of the trial would wait the coming of young Shiloh.—(A laugh.) The Doctor then, after some remarks, not im portant to the case, proved that the bottles produced were his property. The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the Jury found him Guilty. There was another indictment against the prisoner for stealing some property on the 17th of June ; but the prosecutor being ill, the case was postponed till the next session, till which time the judgment of the Court on the verdict now pronounced would be respired. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JULY 16. rvilliani Danne was indicted for obtaining a quan tity of wine, value 258/., of John George Christ, under false pretences. Mr. ALLEY opened the case for the prosecution, and stated, that the defendant and a person named Seligman, both Jews and natives of Germany, had induced the prosecutor to transfer the wine in ques tion to the defendant, whom they had represented to be a man of property, and the keeper of a fine tavern, called Albion-house, in the New-road. Having obtained possession of the wines, the defendant transferred them into the names of different persons, and then kep t . out of the way, until the prosecutor meeting him m the street gave him in Custody to an officer. The CIIAIRAIAN asked to look at the indictment; and on perusing it, inquired of Mr. Alley if he really thought he could sustain it ? The defendant's Counsel observed, that there was not the slightest pretence for this prosecution. Mr. ALLEY admitted that he could nonsupport the indictment; and accordingly the defendant was acquitted. The Sessions will terminate to-morrow. SUICIDE AT WARWICK. On Saturday last an inquest was held before Mr. Greenway, on the body of Thomas Reynolds Platt, a land-surveyor, residing in Warwick, and of the firm of Platt and Smythe, who was found in a spinney in the parish of Milverton, with his throat cut, and a pen-knife in his hand. It was evident that he had himself committed the fatal act, as his pockets bad not been rifled, and there were no marks of violence on any other part of his body. It appears that POlllO time since, this unfortunate individual entered into partnership with a Mr. Smythe, a Catholic ; and, curious enough, it was stipulated in the heads of the articles of partnership, that Mr. Platt, although a Protestant, should attend the Catholic Chapel once every Sunday. He had, for some time past, exhibited much mental inquietude, ex pressed great horror of Popery and of pri es t s , and signified his determination of living and dying a member of the Church of England ; but he feared lest this resolution should be known to the Catholics, and he imagined that any itinerant Irishman would murder him, if re quested to do so by a priest. He had in his pocket a memorandum book of receipts and ex penses, at the end of which the following was written in pencil, evidently in contemplation of the rash act he afterwards committed : " Man, whoever thou art Who findest my ,body, show this to the public, as it will be of service tc your country, which is about being destroyed. I die the victim of the Catholics and the saints (saints in appearance, no morco Smythe, whom I joined, on his part nothing but pretences, in business ; and Evans. Oh ! my poor mother and friends, and oh ! my country ; may God, in his mercy, preserve both." Joseph Shipton, Esq., of Warwick, solicitor, said he parted with the deceased about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, at the stile leading out of the public road from Warwick to Leamington, between Emscote and Warwick, about half a mile from Warwick ; he was going towards Warwick by the public road, witnesa going the footway across the fields and St. Nicholas Meadow. The deceased had lately consulted him about his affairs, and appeared rather odd, but he did not suspect his intellects were, de ranged. Witness Saw the deceased on Saturday in the office ; he stayed three quarters of an hour ; produced letters, and went into a state ment that Mr. Smythe, with whom he was con nected, had not performed his promise ; he had got into pecuniary difficulties, and there was a contrivance to prevail on him to embrace the Catholic religion ; he repented having been led into that connection with Mr. Smythe and Mr. Turrille, at Hampton-cottage. He appeared much in fear of the Catholics ; and said he was to be a sacrifice on the public scaffold by them. He said there was a conspiracy between Mr. Wild and Mr. Turville to take away his life. The Jury found a verdict of insanity. Mr. NORTH arrived from England this morn ing, after having been returned to Parliament for the Borough of Melcomb Regis, belonging to the Marquis of Anglesea.—Dublin Evening Post. LIBEL. (From the .Examiner of Sunda', July 1.5.) TARRY V. HUNT. case added it Ye rY iMportant statement to the verdict , Th e fader will recollect that the Jury in thit in the following words of the Foreman / am specially cles;:ed by my brother Jurors to state of the libel ; that where it plaintiff, they were particulart,- impressed with two parts to your Lordship, that in g; ivin g the 50/. damages to the is said—,' not to say the worst of ltim f' and then where his e i ,:rofound' ignorance is; spoken of ; for the Jury are clearly o f ,opinion, that the plaintiff is not profoundly ignorant." It was considered a serious omission, on tin; part of the Judge, that he did not explain to the Jury .who were most probably ignorant of the nature of plena inns) that there were eleven isaves in this cause, each etilbracing a separate allegation; and that it; was ,-ompetent to them to give a verdict for the defendant. upon those points, which they considered he had justified, and a verdict for the'plaintiff, with damages, upon those which they deemed not justi fied by evidence, There can be no doubt that, had the Judge not neglected this part of his duty, the defendant would have obtained a verdict upon some - of the issues , --we should say, upon the great majo rity, the fair inference from the vp - sirde of the Fore man being, that the Jury considered the defendant to have made out a justification upon 6,2 1 the spe eille allegations in the alleged libel except that of ignorance. The Judge having thug neglected to question alai' Jury as to the exact meaning of their Foreman' statement, the only course that remained for the de fendant was, to move to the Court that the verdict might be recorded according to the apparent opinion of the Jury. The Court was moved accordingly,;, but the Chief Justice stopped the defendant's coup sel in his statement, and desired that the matter ' might be argued before himself at chrozbers. This was done ; and the result was, that he ordered the verdict to be so far altered as to stand for the de fendant on one plea—that which charged Parry with slander ; leaving the verdict on all the rest for the plaintiff. This is a very curious decision. 'We may remark in the first place, that Chief= Justice Best thus tacitly admits his own omission to question the Jurv, when they delivered their verdict; with regard to the separation of the different pleat. • His Lordship has found it necessary to alter the ver.4 , diet, on account of the obvious meaning of the Fore man's remark :—how much better then—how much more satisfactory—would it have been had he ascer tained the precise feeling of the Jury on the separate points at issue To give the defendant the verdict on one plea, and one only, is absurdly inconsistent. Why does. he have the verdict on that one ? Because the-. ' Foreman said—" We find for the plaintiff on NC — count of the defendant having called him profoundly ignorant, and having used the words " not to say} the worst of him ;"—cleat lc implying, that on tail t.:; the other points—the drunkenness, boasting, elan- fi dering, &c.—they believed the defendant had proved his assertions. If, therefore, the defendant was (as Judge Best says) entitled to the verdict on the plea .t: ' concerning slander, lie was, for precisely the same reason, entitled to the verdict upon the pleas cots. cerning drunkenness, &c. More should have beets granted him, or nothing. If the Foreman's reinerk ought not to affect the verdict, then the defendant was not entitled to any alteration; but if—as the Chief Justice de facto admits—that remark ought. to affect the verdict; then nine or ten pleas out of the eleven ought to have been given to the defen dant. It seem to us that Chief Justice Best cannot' escape both horns of this dilemma. Actions for libel appear to be the rage of the day, The Judges are determined that the Press shall reap no advantage from the present disuse of Governmeng prosecutions ; and accordingly they give every pos sible encouragement to pettifogging attorneys, amt.: blackguards who are made sore by exposure, tcv.: gratify their cupidity and revenge by harassing jotu nal iustsvitdbvte beenrlalstoo ready dcosts .second o we say theseyitwithsham juries hattacks' upon that freedom' which, as part of the public, they`' should hold most dear. We hail, however, with great pleasure, some recent symptoms. of 'a better . ' spirit in the Jury-box. In the two cases tried thin' week—" Wright v. The Atlas," and " Scott v. Clement "—the degraded seekers of damages have been signally defeated, in the former east by a direct verdict for the defendants, in the latter by an award" of one farthing as comperisation for the plaintiff's character. The public will perceive how bard Chief Justice Best struggled for the success of the latter action; and this should be a lesson to Jurors not to. pin their faith upon the narrow and illiberal dogmas' of Judges, with whom no doctrine is too monstrous ,o be supported, provided they can wrap it up in a egal fiction.
