SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We have often had occasion to remark on the procrasti nation of the most important Ministerial measures till the end of the Session, and we lately impressed upon Lord Melbourne's Administration the absolute necessity of a complete alteration of the system of legislation. If the du ration of the Session—the distressing physical duties of Members of Parliament, who are pent up in foul air for hours past midnight—if the utter want of division of legis lative labour, and of practical preparation on the part of the Government continue—we shall find no competent public men to undertake the public service. At this moment some of the most important Bills of the Session are pending, on the eve of a prorogation ; and the benches of the House of Commons are almost empty, many of the most valuable Bills . being necessarily postponed till next year. The Irish Tithe Bill, by far the most important and conflicting question of the Session, is likely to be mutilated, if not destroyed, in the House of Lords, when half the Members of the Lower House have retired to their country seats. 'We are, there fore, some way advanced in the month of August, with the prospect of Parliament sitting (or a frag ment of it) for another fortnight, and the imminent hazard of a collision'between the two branches of the Le gislature. The system must be radically changed. Next year Ministers must meet the Parliament prepared with their Cabinet measures—declaring what they will do and what they will not undertake to do, and must manage mat ters very differently. We are most glad to observe indica tions of such an altered policy in the recent declaration of Lord Althorp on the subject of corporate reform, and in some general remarks of the Marquis of Westminster last night. Appearances, and the resolute character of Lord Melbourne, point to greater decision and practical prepara tion. The Marquis of Westminster, at the close of hie judicious observations on the absurd privilege of " Proxies," sensibly said— " He trusted, too, to see other measures adopted. That most disgraceful statute, the Septennial Act, ought to be brought to an end, anti he trusted 'that reform would be carried into various abuses in the most piercing and searching manner. Unless these ques tions were undertaken with a desire to settle them properly by the Government, they would not satisfy the reasonable part of the in habitants of the country, and they would not long he able to hold their places.'• This is comin g to the point, and a salutary "hint to the new Ministry. No Government can longer " hold their places" unless they respect th7s seasonable recommendation. We will only instance one measure of the deepest impor tance, involving a great constitutional change—driven off to the last moment—we allude to the " Bill to provide for the trial of general (and, as the Lords have amended it, extensive) Bribery in Cities and Boroughs sending mem bers to serve in Parliament." This Bill has just been ma terially altered in the Lords. It will not be printed and distributed in the Commons, with the amendments, till this morning, and it stands in the Commons' Votes for consideration to-night. Nothing can be so ab surd—nothing so insulting to the country,—as the indecent haste of such rapid legislation. A great number of the active Members of Parliament have left town ; no time is allowed for the public discussion of a measure of the deepest importance to the whole consti tuency of the kingdom. In fact, a cursory perusal and consideration of the proposed amendments of the Lords demonstrate the evil of such hurried legislation. What is " extensive" bribery, and why is such a limitation intro duced ; and why have the Peers studiously excluded the general and comprehensive words " and corruption" in the 'original Bill ? Do their Lordships mean to overturn the Statute and Common Law of the land, and to ordain that the interference of Peers —the fraudulent manufacture of fictitious votes—the various ways of coercing Electors— the infamous system of Treating, often a direct and illegal bribery—the various election arts of intimidation and riots, do not vitiate the freedom and purity of election ? Does this Bill mean to restrict the proofs of bribery to the written lists of cases directed to be given in previous to inquiry, when it is notorious that often the most important discoveries are involved in the examination of witnesses ? Do they, for instance, retrospectively involve the case of Liverpool (specially comprehended in this Bill) and seriously require a separate notice and issue in the case of every corrupt freeman ? This curiogsly amended Bill is distinguished in the Lords' print by italic paragraphs which denote the original paragraphs added by the L o rd s ' C omm itt ee , an d b y " bl ac k letter" the para graphs left out by that Committee. In twenty-eight pages only six pages of the original Bill are left entire. Thirteen pages are wholly omitted, and nearly eight pages of new matter added ! The amended Bill proposes to constitute a new tribunal for the trial of " bribery," a sort of co-ordinate jurisdiction of Lords and Commons in the nature of a Com mission. When a Commons' Committee report the neces sity for these proceedings against a rotten borough, and ad dress his Majesty to issue a Commission, a Jury of five Peers and seven Commoners is to be impannelled, under the presidency of a Judge of one of the Courts of Record at Westminister. This motley Jury is to be chosen after the following fashion : "And be it enacted, that the House of Lords shall, on a day to be appointed by the Lord Chancellor or Speaker of the House of Lords within a month after the commencement of each Session of Parliament, proceed to choose by lot eighty-five Peers from among all those who have taken their seats in that Session of parliament, and after they shall have been so chosen, the Lord Chancellor shall, on a day to be named, not less than five days afterwards, openly in the same House of Lords name ten of such Peers, and fifteen others shall be chosen by lot out of the remaining seventy-five ; and in like manner within the same period the House of Commons shall proceed to choose one hundred and twenty members by lot from among all who have taken their seats during that parliament, and after they shall have been so chosen the Speaker shall, on a day to be named, not less than five days afterwards, openly in the said House name thirty-five of such members ; and as often as a Com mittee of the Commons shall report that further proceeding is ne cessary touching any borough, as aforesaid, and such report shall have been communicated to the Lords, the House of Lords shall choose by lot five names out of the said list of twenty-five, and the House of Commons shall choose by lot seven names out of the said list of thirty-five, and the said five Peers and the said seven Com moners thus named shall form a court to inquire of the truth of the matters contained in the said report." Carrickfergus, Liverpool, Hertford, and Stafford, are to be sent to this forlorn hope. Now we protest altogether against this unconstitutional extension of power over the representation of the people, to the Peers Spiritual and Temporal. The Lords are notoriously jealous.of their own privileges, and allow no interference of the Commons with them. And is this the period when we are to invest the Peerage with such a new power of interference with the rights of popular representation ? Are the Right Rev. the Bishops to be eligible on a Jury to try corruption, and reform corrupt electors ? Has the conduct of the Peers in the Penryn and East Retford Bills, in the recent Dis franchisement Bills of Liverpool and Warwick, entitled them to the confidence of the country ? And how have they shown their preliminary notions in erasing the im portant word, " corruption," and craftily inserting the convenient word " extensive " bribery ? Nor can we altogether approve the unlimited principle of recognizances for costs. There may be and have been many instances in which the necessity of security may be a complete denial of justice ; and unquestionably the propriety of requiring sureties ought to be discretionary in the Commons and de pendent on circumstances. It is impossible that any po pular Member of the House of Commons can allow this monstrous and crude production to pass at this period of the Session. It involves principles and results of the deepest importance, and ought rather to be entitled, " An Act to limit election. corruption to Bribery, to perpetuate the corrupt practices of the Schedule B Boroughs, and to license the Freemen of England, Wales, and Ireland, to receive bribes, and get drunk at the expense of Can didates." If there is any Reformer in the House of Com mons, he will vote against this abomination, and also sup port Lord John Russell's motion to-night, against the issue of writs for Warwick, Hertford, Carrickfergus, and Stafford. —Morning Chronicle. Whatever may be the distress and misery of a large por tion of the people of this country, it cannot be denied that we have a laughter-loving house of Commons. The " merry England" of the poets, who celebrated our golden age of rural happiness, exists no longer ; but a merry Representa tive Assembly we certainly have—an Assembly that loves a joke whether in season or out of season, or without much caring whether the joke be a lively or a dull one—coarse or refined—delicate or gross. One would be tempted to believe sometimes that Momus himself presided over this Assembly, so completely is the gravity of legislators merged in the passion for a laugh. Well would it be for the na tion if the fund of wisdom at the disposal of the House of Commons was equal to its fund of jocularity. The people might then have cause to be cheerful ; and their Represen tatives, correcting the vices of misgovernment, and distin guishing themselves for an honest pre-eminence in the arts which stay the decline and restore the prosperity of States, instead of struggling for their own selfish interests, mi g ht " Scatter plenty o'er the smiling land, And read its history in a nation's eyes." A sad people and a merry House of Common s may b e sign the times ; b ut thought by s o me to be no auspicious of of all subjects of legislative merriment we know none more melancholy than the consideration of the deplorable con sequences of the prevailing vice of drunkenness, and the best mode of eradicating that baneful habit from the com munity. We should have thought it impossible that any sober legislator, when call e d u p on t o devise some mode of stopping up the; great source of crime and pauperism in this country—the intemperate devotion to ardent spirits — we should have thought it impossible, we say, that any sober legislator, when ca ll e d upon to suggest some means of staying this pestilence in the land, could make it the subject of a sorry jest !—but we stand corrected—our legislators can be sober when they treat the lamentable vice of drunkenness as a matter of good fun and ridicule. But admitting their sobriety, what can we say of the qualities of mind d heart which they bring to the work of legis lation ? 4! acknowledge the difficulty of repressing the vice of drunkenness by legislative enactments, yet we do not, therefore, think it useless or absurd to bring the sub ject under the notice of Parliament. In proportion to the difficulties to be overcome should be the efforts to surmount them. The love of intoxicating spirits is not a natural deformity of the mind, and consequently the maxim, "naturam expellers furcd, tamen usque recurret" does not apply to it. A vice artificially acquired may be artificially got rid of ; but supposing the present race of drunkards incorrigible, that is no reason why measures should not be adopted to prevent the curse from shedding its baleful influence on future generations. The grave and decorous treatment of the subject in the Legislature might of itself do much good, by awakening reflection in the minds of many of those who have not yet reached the last stage of degraded subjection to the power of strong drink ; but when this fatal passion, so withering to the morals ofthe people—so destructive of domestic comfort—so fruitful in misery and crime—is made a topic of levity and laughter in the House of Commons, the moral consequences must be bad, and drunkards must become much less ashamed of the habit that subverts the reason than ever. We by no means consider Mr. Hawes a felicitous specimen of a reformed repreientation. His conduct with regard to the Malthu sian Poor Law Bill showed that he could be very sober and very absurd ; but we were not prepared to find him making the exhibition which he did on Tuesday night, when Mr. Buckingham brought up the report of the Committee to inquire into the causes of drunkenness, and the best mode of prevention. He spoke of the interests of his constituents being compromised by the recommenda tions of the report ; but when the Poor Law Bill—the " boon to the female population"—was under discussion, the consideration of their interests did not appear to have the same weight with him. His constituents told him that this unconstitutional and immoral Bill was opposed to their interests and to those of the community at large, yet he supported the Bill. Now his reasoning goes the length of allowing us to infer that he would rather the land should be deluged with drunkenness than that the interests of his constituents should be compromised ! The cause of in temperance, equally destructive of the morals and the health, filling the gaol, the workhouse, and the untimely grave with the victims' of its poison, must be held sacred, forsooth ! lest the interests of the gin-temple should be compromised, lest the profits of the gin-demon should be diminished by rescuing its infatuated votaries from their influence. All who know any thing of the causes of crime, know that a great proportion of the crimes which our laws are enacted to punish, are the consequences of that temporary bereavement of reason which drunkenness produces. Though Mr. O'Connell chose, like some others, to be facetious on this subject, he ought rather to have wept at thinking what moral devastation the love of ardent spirits produces in his native land. The barba rous habits of those clans who meet periodically to butcher each other with the most savage ferocity, like the Coleens and the Lawlors the other day, are preserved and perpe tuated by being steeped in whisky. 'The source of the chi valry of the heroes of the ensanguined banks of the cabin was the whisky-booth at the fair ; and despising even the admonitions of their Priest, because they were not then in a state to worship any idol but the whisky bottle, they revelled in blood and drunken glory. Solit will ever be as long as the " finest pisantry in the world" are so apt to " put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains !" The Rockites are stimulated to their work of nocturnal outrage, burning, and assassination, by whisky, which mad dens the heart and fires the brain. And so in this country, at least three-fourths of the crimes of violence and blood —the crimes over which the terrors of the gallows are suspended —emanate from the diabolical inspiration of ardent spirits. Is it not a task more worthy of an enlightened and Christian Legislature to prevent those crimes, by removing their cause, than to brutalise the people still further by execu tions, which, although they exterminate the offender, leave the offence always growing and ripening into a luxuriant crop, which the scythe of death again mows down, only to shoot up, once more, in greater abundance ? When we see these things—when we look around and behold the masses of misery, pauperism, and debasement which gin drinking and the tippling of the beer-shop create, we cannot but regard those persons who exert themselves, eiths,,by Temperance Societies or by raising discussions in PAClia ment, to extirpate this dreadful vice, as patriots who look for other than selfish triumphs.--as benefactors to their country and the human race. We have enough of im postors seeking their own ends, under the name of political reformers, but to the advocates of social reform no loaves and fishes of the State are offered. They are consequently fewer and more sincere ; and of all sorts of social reform the most beneficial to society would be the eradication of that fascinating vice, which bows the strength of man to the dust—unseats his reason—inflames his passions—and extinguishes in his degraded mind all moral perceptions, and all regard for the decencies of life.—Morning Herald. There are rumours of the Opposition Lords intending to throw out the Irish Tithe Bill. They may do it, but they are greatly mistaken if they imagine they will thereby throw out the Ministry. They may reduce the Irish clergy to beggary, by defeating a Bill which secures to them, with ease and certainty, a greater income than they could hope to obtain through violence and bloodshed. They may pro bably agitate in Ireland, and fortify those habits of lawless insubordination which may end in resistance to rent as well as tithes. If agitation can get the better of the Saxon clergy, will it not, it may be said, be an equally efficient in strument against the Saxon landholder ? He may distrain like the parson, but when his distress has been made, who is able, who will be daring enough, to purchase the chattels of a whole kingdom ? The clergy must in the meanwhile starve or beg, or dig their potatoe grounds in order to main tain their families ; not a farthing can they expect from the House of Commons, to relieve a calamity produced by the perverseness of their pretended friends.—.llforn. Advertiser. Vestries are assembling and parishes meeting, now that the chance of success seems almost expiring, to stop this inroad on our ancient laws—the Poor Law Amend- 4 ment Bill. We are still not without hopes that the mis chief May be checked. We have often spoken of the prin ciple of the Bill ; but of all the clauses, that upon which the Bishop of Exeter intends this night to move a strang ling amendment, is that at which manhood revolts most. Defeat that clause, my. Lord, defeat it ! expose its cruelty in every way your fertile mind can suggest and your elo quent tongue express, and you will do more for the rights of nature and the people of England than any prelate has done since the time that Burnett drew up his celebrated declaration for William 111., when he came to liberate us from Popery and the tyranny of the Stuart race. There is, perhaps, nothing that speaks so much for the humanity of the people of England as their rooted aversion to this new Poor Law Bill. They have been oppressed by rates ; they have dreaded the call of the overseer. The poor have behaved perhaps not always well ; " but still," say the people of England, the rate-payers, " they are our brethren, they have a right to support ; we cannot give them up to hired Commissioners ! we cannot resign them to the tender mercies of men whom they never saw before !" This is the feeling of the people of Eng land with respect to the Bill generally. But with respect to that clause which exempts the father of what is termed an illegitimate child from all anxiety, or care or duty of providing for his own offspring, in what bosom timid the exception of such a clause be engendered ? The woman is to be the only sufferer ! Is she the only sinner ? We will not palliate her guilt or excuse her frailty. But look at the thing coolly ; view it as a mere matter of interest to parishes. Who by the law of nature can inflict the greatest loss on a parish, the man or the woman ? The latter is fixed in her locality, and limited in her competence to do mischief. .The former may range free, and indulge in unbounded license : stop him in his career by making him once pay the penalty of his profligacy, and he is fixed too : you see the extent of the mischief. The bastardy clause, then, in this most omi nous Bill, inverts the whole order of legislation. It punishes the weakest—it oppresses her who contains the least means of mischief in her nature ; it dismisses the strongest, and sends him loose and disengaged into society, whose power to injure society, and to tax it by vices, is unlimited. Was folly like this ever heard of before in man ? The Bishop of Exeter, we have no doubt, will enforce with his peculiar eloquence all these points on the House of Lords this even ing. We cannot yet believe that such a clause can pass the House.—Tinges. A small balloon was found by a shepherd boy in the manor of Priorsdale, near Alston in Cumberland, a short time since, with a label attached to it, stating that it had been set off on the 2d of June, at Rotterdam, by Mr. Green, the celebrated aeronaut. —Newcastle Journal. DESOLATION OF SARDIS.—A much more in teresting object was now the Acropolis of Sardis rising before us, and presenting a striking resemblance to the mountain above the town of Zante, and the soft sandstone rock distorted and rent in the same extraordinary manner, and perhaps by the same agency of earthquakes. With our eyes fixed on this crumbling monument of the grandeur and nothingness of man, and looking in vain for the city whose multitudes lie under the countless sepulchral hillocks on the other side of the Hermus, we arrived at what was once the metropolis of Lydia. If I should be asked what impresses the mind most strongly on be holding Sardis, I should say its indescribable solitude, like the darkness of Egypt, darkness that could be felt. So the deep solitude of the spot, once the " lady of kingdoms," produces a corresponding feeling of desolate abandonment in the mind, which can never be forgotten. Connect this feeling with the message of the Apocalypse to the Church of Sardis, " Thou hest a name that thou livest, and art dead ; I will come on thee as a thief ; and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee ;" and then look round and ask, where are the churches, where are the Christians of Sardis ? The tumuli beyond the Hermus reply, "All dead!" suffering the infliction of the threatened judgment of God, for the abuse of their privileges. Let the unbeliever then be asked, Is there no truth in prophecy ? no reality in religion ?—Arundell's Disco. veries in Asa Minor. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1834. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HEREFORD, AUG. 4. The business of the assizes for this county began today at 9 o'clock. The. entry of causes is heavy, there being as many as 22, of which 4 are special juries. The Attorney- General is expected to come special in one. In the calendar there were 29 prisoners, 2 being charged with arson, though the grand jury have thrown out the bill against one. Twelve common jury cases have been tried, but only the following had the slightest public interest : CROWN COURT, AUG. 5. THE KING V. THOMAS HAYWARD. The prisoner was indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Thomas Prickett, and stealing some shoes. Mr. Q. Phillips conducted the prosecution. The prosecutor and the prisoner were brothers-in -lacy , and, according to the testimony of the former, on the 7th of April last he went to bed4aving left the house fastened up. He was disturbed by a loud noise during the night, and having got up, he found that his house had been broken into, and that some shoes and stockings bad been stolen. These shoes were found the next day in the possession of the prisoner. The prisoner made a rambling defence, stating that his brother-in-law had been induced to make this charge against. him at the instigation of some person whom he had offended by endeavouring to settle some accounts between him and the prosecutor. He also made some claim of right to the prosecutor's property. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS desired the Jury to determine whether the prisoner really proceeded in the exercise of any claim of right, under the circumstances of the case. The Jury found the pr:-Jner guilty. Mr. C. PHILLII s, on the part of the prosecutor, recom mended the prisoner to mercy. He had certainly some erroneous notions as to some claim against the prosecutor, and had been already tried at the sessions and then admo nished, but in vain. Besides the burglary for which the prisoner had now been tried, on the very same night a valu able barn belonging to the prosecutor had been burnt, al though the grand jury had thrown out the bill against the prisoner ; still the prosecutor only desired that the prisoner should be restrained from conducting himself as he had hitherto done. Mr. Justice W.ILLIAms then addressed the prisoner, telling him how wrong he had acted, and that he must not offend again after this public warning, or he would not escape with a lighter punishment than transportation. He then sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-CARLISLE, AUG 4. The Commission of Assize for the county of Cumberland was opened at this place on Saturday, but the Learned Judges did not arrive until yesterday, being detained on Saturday at Newcastle till a late hour. This morning bu siness commenced. On the Civil Side, where Mr. Baron GURNEY presided, there were five causes, four of which were undefended : the other was of no interest, except to the parties. The calendar contained eight causes, one for murder, but the bill is not yet found. All the others are disposed of. (Before Lord Chief Baron JIYNDHURST.) Thomas How was indicted for having feloniously killed one John Watson, at the parish of Torpenhow, on the 10th day of June last. Mr. KNOWLES and Mr. RAWLINSON conducted the pro secution, and Mr. ARMSTRONG the defence. The prisoner was represented as being a respectable farmer of considerable property. The deceased was servant to a Mr. Carruthers, farmer and innkeeper, of Torpenhow. On the 9th of June he was at his master's in the evening with a person named Barmby. The prisoner came in and quarrelled with and struck Barmby, upon which Barmby got up and ran out, but soon returned, when the prisoner renewed the quarrel. In order to decoy him out of the house, to get rid of him, Barmby said if the prisoner would go out he would fight him. They went out, and the door was shut and barred, and Barmby ran away, leaving the prisoner in the yard. Shortly after, the de ceased was directed to go and let loose a dog which was usually confined during the day, but unkennelled at night. The deceased went to the stable for that purpose, and the prisoner went up to him. The deceased got hold of a garden tool called a clip, and threat ened to strike the prisoner if he did not go away, and tolet the dog at him. The first he did not do, but he let the dog go, which, however, did not touch the prisoner. The deceased then proposed, that if prisoner would go away,he would show him out of the yard. They accordingly went away. A person in the house who had continued up, had observed what had passed, followed them, and when he got to the turnpike-road found the deceased lying on the ground, and the prisoner, who was a very heavy man, kneeling upon him, and with both his-hands dashing his head against the ground. Assistance was procured, and the prisoner said he would do it again if the deceased hounded the dog at him. The deceased was taken up insensible. On examination, there proved to be a wound on the right side of the head, which bled much. He never spoke afterwards, but lingered till two o'clock, and then died. According to the testimony of the medical men he died from the effect of the wound, which had produced effusion of blood upon the brain. His LORDSHIP summed up the case to the jury, who found the prisoner Guilty. He was immediately sentenced to twelve months impri sonment and hard harbour. No other case occurred of any interest whatever. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—WeRwicr, AUGUST 5. The only case remaining for trial this morning was that of a person named Marsh, who was charged with cutting and stabbing James Phipps with intent to murder him or do him some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor stated, that he an d a y oung man named Pittaway overtook the prisoner wa lki ng wi th a wo man along a public thoroughfare ; that he made s evera l beastly pro posals to him, and attempted to take gross liberties with him, in the presence of the woman and Pittaway, and that when the witness pushed him away he stabbed him with a knife. This witness and Pittaway were examined as to several particulars of this story, and they not only stated the most improbable circumstances, but they contradicted each other in respect of almost every one of them. It was denied by one, but admitted by the other, that the prisoner charged them before the watchman with having knocked him down and robbed him. The Jury said they did not believe one word the wit nesses said, and therefore the Judge stopped the case, and the prisoner was acquitted. This terminated the Assizes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEI3OIVE. Yesterday a ruffianly-looking fellow, named William Ren shaw, driver of the cab No. 1,795, was placed before the sitting Magistrates, Messrs. RAWLINSON and HOSKINS, charged with furiously driving, and breaking one of the pub lic gas-lamps in High-street, Marylebone. Police constable William Ireland, 12 D, deposed that about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon last he was on duty in Little Barlow-street, and saw a cab proceeding along at a most furious pace ; on turning the corner into High-street the vehicle came in such violent contact with the lamp-post that the glass was shattered to pieces by the shock, and the cab nearly overturned ; he (witness) perceiving the mis chief which the defendant had done, called out to him to stop, but instead of doing so he commenced lashing the horse in the most brutal manner, and, driving off at full gal lop, was soon out of sight. Such was the velocity with which the vehicle proceeded, that he had just time to take the number, but could not swear that the defendant was the man driving. Another constable of the same division gave similar evi dence. The defendant admitted that he was driving at the time, and attempted to palliate his conduct by assuring the Ma gistrates that the horse had shied and run away. Mr. RAwLINsoN—Why did you not stop when you found that you had broken the lamp ? Defendant—l de clare to your Worship I did not know that I had broken it. Mr. ItAwLnisox—lt is impossible that you could have been ignorant of it, when the glass was flying about your ears. The cab nuisance has arrived to such a frightful pitch that it is quite impossible it can be much lobger to lerated in a place like London, and I am determined, when ever such cases as the present come before me, to put the law in full force against the offenders ; you are therefore fined in the full penalty of M. and costs. Defendant—l hope you will mitigate it, for the sake of my wife and family. Mr. RAwLiNsoN—I shall do no such thing : you had no consideration for the women and children whose lives you placed in such imminent danger by the furious manner in which you were driving. The defendant was then locked up. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Ann Vickers, the female who was some time ago prose cuted at the Old Bailey by her then mistress, Mrs. Colonel Hampton, but acquitted, was yesterday brought up for examination on a second charge of felony , she having, on a former day, been fully committed on the first charge for robbing her mistress, Mrs. Dove, Clifford-street, of a great number of small articles of a miscellaneous description. Previous to being placed at the bar, Mr. Flower, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, asked the magistrate to allow him to speak with her, without the presence o f a third person. Mr. Dyxa objected to any communicatiSt with the pri soner unless an officer was present. Mr. Flower objected to this course as being unusual, but the magistrate adhered to his first determination. The prisoner was shortly afterwards placed at the bar before Mr. DYER, sen., and Mr. DYER, jun., charged with having stolen a pair of shoes belonging to Francis Palmer, Esq., a gentleman who occupied apartments in the house of Mr. Dove. Benjamin Schofield said, when he searched the pri soner's boxes he-found a pair of new shoes which corres ponded with the descriptitin of a pair which Mrs. Dove previously informed him had been stolen from Mr. Palmer. The prisoner accounted for the possession of these shoes by saying that she picked up a duplicate of a pair of shoes and went and redeemed them. Mr. Francis Palmer said the shoes found in the pos session of Ann Vickers he had no doubt were his property. They were of Paris manufacture, and he had but one pair of the sort ; having missed them, he asked his valet what had become of them, but his servant could give no account of their disappearance. The footman, Reeve, on being shown the shoes, with a sort of remarkable hesitation declined swearing positively that they were his master's. A pair similar to the pair produced had been lost, but he should not like to swear to the shoes, though he believed them to be his master's property. Mr. DYER, jun., inquired if there was any other charge. Schofield said there were some kid gloves also found, which were supposed to belong to another lodger of Mrs. Dove ; but the gentleman was at present out of town, and therefore no evidence that such was the fact could be brought forward. The prisoner declined saying anything, and was fully committed on both charges. Anne Hill, a fine young girl, just fifteen years of age, was put to the bar under the following circumstances : She had been found by the police in company with a num ber of low young prostitutes, running after and annoying gentlemen in the Regent's-quadrant, under pretence of sel ling bunches of lavender. When brought before the ma gistrate and questioned, it came out that she was the daugh ter of a very respectable individual in possession of consi derable independent property, and that she had run away from her friends about seven days since, in which time she had contrived to metamorphose herself, both in dress and manners, into an exact representative of one of the lowest and most degraded class of prostitutes. Her father was sent for, and yesterday made his appearance, evidently much affected at the situation of his daughter. He told the magis trate that she had been well educated and genteelly brought up by an uncle and aunt ; but having lost his wife lately, he took her home far the purpose of superintending the domestic concerns of his family. In a short time he discovered that she had run-him into debt everywhere, and had pawned and sold most of his other children's clothes. Thinking it would reclaim her, he sent her to service, hav ing provided her with a handsome outfit. In a short time she robbed her mistress and ran away, taking with her a stock of good clothes, all of which she got rid of, and had no other than the dirty rags in which she stood upright. The girl had found her way into that sink of depravity and of debauchery, St. Giles's, and there it appeared it was she met with the companions in whose company she was found. The father said he was willing to take her home and put her in a way of getting a pr o p er li ve lih oo d. The Magistrate, under these circumstances, discharged the girl with a proper lecture, which, however, appeared to produce not the slightest symptom of contrition or shame. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday John Sampson Spilling, the master of a small steam-vessel called the John and Richard, plying between London and Woolwich, and belonging to a new company called the London and Woolwich Steam-packet Company, appeared before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. COOMBE, to answer a charge of acting as master and chief steersman of that vessel, he not having been licensed or approved of by the Watermen's Company, contrary to the 33d by-law of the Court of Aldermen, by which he had incurred a pe nalty of 51. The case excited an extraordinary degree of interest, and the office was crowded by watermen and persons con nected with steam-packet companies. The master of the steamer called the Queen Adelaide, which lately conveyed passengers to and from Greenwich, has been already con victed three times by a magistrate of this office, for carry ing passengers without a licence ; and the watermen, whose interests have been sensibly affected by the deprivation of the means of obtaining support, having succeeded in stop ping the running of the Greenwich steamers, have com menced proceedings against the conductors of those who are conveying passengers to Woolwich, Putney, and other places. Mr. Noakes, a solicitor and the Secretary of the Wool wich and London Steam-boat Company, attended for the defendant. Edward Saunders, a waterman belonging to Hunger ford-market stairs, the complainant, proved that on the day laid in the information, he saw the defendant acting as master and chief steersman, and heard him give directions o ease, and stop the vessel, to set her going, &c., between London and Woolwich. A waterman named Cadwell confirmed the statement of Saunders. Mr. Noakes cross-examined the witnesses, but without shaking their evidence, and asked them what motives in duced them to commence their proceedings ? Mr. BALLANTINE said the men were not bound to state their motives for lodging the complaint ; there could he no doubt that their business was injured by the steam ers, and as they felt themselves aggrieved they had a right to appeal to the law. Saunders said the steamers were taking the bread out of the watermen's mouths. Mr. Noakes—Have you not received compensation? Saunders—None at all. I and my brother watermen are injured by the Woolwich steamers. Mr. John Ban on, clerk of the Watermen's Company, said the defendant was not licensed or approved of by the court to act as maker of the John and Richard. Mr. Noakes—Does the Watermen's Company counte nance this prosecution ? Mr. Banyon—They have nothing to do with it. I am merely here to give evidence. Mr. Noakes said it was the intention of the Company to appeal in the event of a conviction, and he should offer no defence, although he might otherwise make some observa tions on the case, which was one of great public importance. Mr. Ryland, the barrister, said he was not engaged in the case, but he should feel obliged if Mr. Ballantine would suspend his judgment on this case until the next was heard, as both cases involved the same point. Mr. BALLANTINE said, he should be very happy if the gentlemen would at once state their objections, if they had any. It h a d b een i ns i nuated that t h e mag i strates h a d no jurisdicti on ; he should feel obliged to Mr. Ryland and Mr. Noakes if they would state why, because he was of opinion that he had jurisdiction under the Act of Par liament ; if, however, they had any arguments to bring forward to the contrary, he should be happy to hear them. The evidence before them was, that the defendant acted as master of a vessel without a licence, which was contrary to Act of Parliament The parties had subjected them selves to a penalty of 5/. He believed this was clearly proved, and it further appeared that as long as these vessels did work in the manner stated, they would be subjected to the same prosecutions, and consequently liable to the same penalties. It was quite clear that the watermen would not let the thing rest, because it interfered with their interests. He himself was disposed to think that steam-vessels were of great benefit, and the convenience they afforded to the public was much greater than could be afforded by the passage-boats or the wherries. These improved modes of conveyance were the consequence of the improved state of science, and they could not he stopped ; but interfering as those vessels did with a most respectable and useful class of men, it was very much to be regretted. He was quite sure, however, that the Legislature must interfere, and he did hope that the attention of the public would be called through the medium of the public press to this very im portant subject. Mr. Noakes wished to set the worthy magistrate right on that point. The Woolwich watermen were not injured by the steamers, but were in fact gainers, earning from 225. to 245. per week, by receiving one penny on account of every passenger who landed. As to the watermen of Hungerford stairs, they had no reason to complain, as the watermen there were not in the habit of taking long fares—it could not therefore interfere with their business. The Woolwich Steam-boat Company consisted of the most respectable ma gistrates, naval and military officers, and gentlemen of that town. The establishment of these vessels had already cre ated a new interest, and was likely to prove highly beneficial to the town of Woolwich. He felt sure that the public de rived great benefit from those modes of conveyance, as was evinced by the encouragement given to the company. Mr. BALLANTINE would not depart from the regular course of proceeding ; he should therefore inflict a fine of 40s. and costs. Notice of appeal was immediately given. Thomas ATealc, the master of a small steam-boat called the Fly, whs charged with navigating that vessel between Hungerford-stairs and Putney, and acting as chief master, without being licensed, contrary to the act of parliament. William Andrew Cadwell, a waterman, and Hartley, the beadle of the Watermen's Company, and another witness, proved the case as far as regarded the defendant acting as master and steersman. Mr. Ryland here inquired of Mr. Banyon if the company had any objection to grant licenses ? Mr. Banyon.—lt is contrary to the practice of the Court to grant licences to any but owners, who must be freemen of the company. . _ Mr. Spiller said the Watermen's Company formerly li censed the boat, but would not allow it to carry more than 22 persons, although it was capable of carrying 50. Mr. White, a warden of the Waterman's Company, said the vessel could not accommodate more that 22 with safety. If steamers were allowed to carry passengers to Woolwich, Putney, Greenwich, and other places, many hundred wa termen would be ruined ; in fact, there was nothing but starvation staring them in the face. Mr. BALLANTINE said he felt bound to convict in this case also in a penalty of 40s. Notice of appeal was also given in this case. HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JULY. _The harvest has commenced, and is in a state of great forwardness through the south part of England—we have heard that some Talavera wheat was cut on the 14th of the month, one instance among many others of the extra ordinary forwardness of the season ; so early a season has not been seen since 1822. A sampl e o f b ar l e y o f thi s y ear ' s grow th was shown in Southampt on mar k e t on F r id a y, th e 18th inst. ; it was in fine condition. The earliness of the season of 1822 was by . no means equal to the forwardness of the present, for owing to th e l ong con ti nua tion of dry wea ther, the spring crops are brought to as forward a state as the wheat. A great deal has been already cut of each sort ; even beans have been cut and housed, which is in general the last crop that ripens, and is often as backward as the end of October. The wheat, on the strong well cultivated lands, is in excellent condition, and will produce more than an average crop. On poor lands, and where the seed was not got in in good order, the crops are short and rather thin on the ground, from the want of those necessary occasional showers which generally fall in the months of March and April, and, in consequence, the plant became stunted ; so much so, that the showers which so greatly improved the crop on the strong rich soils did not produce the same beneficial effects on the dry and poor soil. The main crop of barley is fine and full, in many situations quite luxuriant, and so are the oats ; yet the backward sown por tions of either grain, especially of the former, on cold soils, are more than usually deficient in comparison with those which were put into the ground at an earlier period. Beans and pease present but an indifferent show of haulm ; they are well poddtd ; the late crops have a much better appear ance than the early ones. The hay season has not long been brought to a close, and owing to the variableness of the crop, it cannot be described with any degree of cer tainty ; on some of the cold low lands the crop has been heavy, and has produced from two to two and a half loads the acre, on others not more than one-third of a crop, and on some of the high and dry lands the crop has failed alto gether ; many acres have been sold by auction for 10!. per acre. However, to make up some part of the deficiency, we are looking forward to a good cut of after-grass, and feed for cattle never was more promising. Sheep hare had a long favourable season, and in general are looking well, and in consequence of the recent showers , which have pro duced so rapid a change in the pasture lands, prices have been somewhat higher. There is a prospect this year th a t the turnip crop will be abund ant ; the soil in general was in good condition, Swedes and the early sorts of turnips were put in in good order, and the weather h as b een favour able for hoeing them , and owing to the well-timed showers that fell so opportunely, they have made great progress in growth. On some soils the fly has been a little busy, but the showers have been so kind as almost to drive them out of the field, therefore it may not be saying too much to call the turnip crop in general a good one ; the soil is still in excellent order to receive the seed, should a late crop be wanting, the season having b een so very f avoura bl e f or cleaning and enriching the turnip lands. Wool is rather on the advance, the superior sorts full 6d. in the lb. The potatoes that were first planted did not turn out much to the planter's benefit, from the want of moisture when first committed to the so il, an d a l arge propor ti on o f th e se t s failed from growi ng a l toget h er . Th e reason o f thi s f a il ure is not generally understood, but we should presume it to be from the following causes ; that some were taken up and housed before th e y h a d sufficiently arrived at a state of maturity, and others, which seems to be the most probable cause, were, when taken up, put together in quantities too large for the mildness of the winter which followed ; they became over-heated in the caves in which they were deposited ; and others were too far exhausted, from being in a constant state of growing, to radicate again when placed in the earth for that intent ; the latter crops that wer planted are l oo ki ng we ll, an d have every appearance of a , good crop, if the heat of the - soil which the showersbac produced, aft er so muc h d ry wea th er , do not tb force ! young potatoes to r a di ca t e in the earth before they itt'a matured sufficiently to be taken up for housing. EAST LOTHIAN. On the 19th and 20th of the month, a heavy .storm of wind and rain from the east, had rather a threatening ar pearance, and last Saturday the weather presented sow thing of a similar character. It is gratifying, however, to state that the only effects yet perceptible from that circur o ; stance, is the laying down of the heavier part of the whe at and barley crops, but as the grain in the ears was general*" well filled before the rains, a dry atmosphere and clear oar shine will speedily set to rights every thing connected Vit'' that business. Field operations during the month 1 18 ° proceeded in the most satisfactory manner, and follows gene rally are in fine condition ; the horse and hand hoeing ° f turnips and potatoes have been conducted with regularity and despatch, the rains having been quite sufficient to bring these crops forward with that vigour and rapidity, necessary to ensure an abundant produce. In many cases the former of these articles on soils really suited to the plant, look truly splendid. It is now everywhere admitted that the wheat i 5 an excellent crop, as although in some situations there may be but a moderate bulk of straw, yet the ears generally pre sent a plumpness and weight rarely surpassed, giving Lu re indication of being highly productive in the barn. 'II late barley and oats have shot out, and improved a_ much as could have been expected. White peas and he al !' have now every appearance of being a full average both 10 bulk and in produce. In the grain markets, the supPlY h as been equal to the demand, and there still appears eno u g h ' in the stack yards to meet the new crops, even althoug h they had been a week or two later than they actually ar e ; Harvest will commence next week with bgth wheat and barley in many situations, and by the middle of the mon th will likely be general throughout the country. Much has lately been said in a high quarter about agricultural distress* and efforts made to induce the government to interfere with legislative attempts to alleviate that distress. But if the expectations regarding the wheat crop are happily re' lized, and the produce turns out equal to that of either t, the last two seasons, that circumstance, combined with the principle generally acted on by the proprietors, of regular ing their rents by the prices of grain, will place the far: mers of this county alike indifferent to, and independent ot any petty relief that could be obtained from the moverneotcl referred to. The demand for wool has been brisk, an prices very high. Black faced or Highland 20s. to 2 15 " Cheviots 325. to 365., and Leicester and half bred betwer°, that and Cheviot hog wool, from 425. to 455. per stone °` 241 b. These prices are nearly double to what the saT e e kinds of wool brought only two or three years ago, and t ,, advance has been as great in the pastoral districts of t' kingdom.—Scotsman.
