SPIRIT OF THE_PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our attention has been directed to a curious article inserted in the Dublin Evening Mail of the 25th instant. It looks very like a commencement of a backing out of their scrape by the patrons of the Irish Clergy. We observe, at its conclusion, a declaration, that " it is solely . _to the fraud, and the mal-appropriation of a sacred fund, belonging by law to the Protestant Laity, that, in a pecuniary point of view, the Clergy and their friends protest, that they are not, were not, nor will be, discontented with 771.105. out of every 1001. of their lawful property." What rogues these patrons of the Irish Clergy are I But they are not greater than all men must be that will put all the heat and excitement that the human mind is capable of into the defence of wrong. Was it solely against this imputed fraud that the ravings of Shaw, and .Lefroy, . and Mr. Stanley, were directed during the last month of the session ? Did they not practically object to the measure on the ground that the redemption clauses were omitted ; to ether with. those providing f or i nvestment i n l an d ? id not each, of them declare that, with those provisions, they might have voted for the second reading of the Bill ; that without those provisions they never would consent to it ? But not one word, in this article of the Evening Mail, do we now find upon either of these points. If we are to believe this article to speak the sense of the Irish clergy, or of those hard, but well-paid, task -masters in the higher ranks of the Irish Church, who coerce their poorer dependents, it would now appear that they would gladly take the whole of the arrangement as proposed in the last print of the Bill, provided that the perpetuity purchase fund were left out of the account, One is not always sure of the meaning of the ravings of party zealots ; but if =the article means anything, it means what we have stated, and nothing more, and can be considered only in the light of a symptom of repentance. But we can tell these gentlemen that they have more humi liating concessions to make than these. Under the Bill as it stood, one-fifth deduction only was to be borne by the Tithe-owners ; and that to the Corporation of Tithe-owners generally as a body was no loss at all, for they lost as much every year. Of the other one-fifth, at least two portions would have been paid absolutely by the Crown, and not by the Church; for the perpe tuity purchase:fund would , not have been equal to more than one-third of the amount. But it may be well for those who profess their honour to be bound up with the integrity of that fund, and whose religious sensi bilities are so shocked by the dedication of it to any, even semi-religious, use, if they ever again make so good a bargain. However this is not the time to go into this part of the question. Let us wait the result of the Commission which is actively at work under the able directi9n 6, Mr. Curran andhis co-commissioners in Ireland. Our only object now is to point attention to this article, which is intended to convey an impression that it was solely to the intended fraud on the perpe tuity purchase fund that the patrons of the Church objected, in their insane fury against the Tithe Bill. We recommend to their perusal Mr. Stanley's argu ment on the character of that fund, and on the 147th clause of the Church Temporalities Bill, , during the session of 1832. The following is the article from the Dublin Evening Mail:— " LAY INTEREST IN CHURCH PROPERTY. ,‘ We dem:marbled in our last that the Laity, in protecting the cause of the Clergy, were, in point of fact, only maintain ing their 9wn int eres t s . W e procee d now to show, that i n re jecting The late Tithe Bill, the Clergy are not so much serving themselves, as a body, as preserving the rights and interests of th 4 Laity. ,•`" Until the passing of the act, in a late session of Parlia ment, for the abolition of Vestry Cess, the building and re pairing of churches, and th e cos t o f ot her incidents of public worship, were laid upon the parish. The act to which we refer transferred the burden to the Clergy ; and a per centage, ranging from three to ten, or fifteen per cent., according to the value of the benefice, was laid on all clerical incomes, to provide -a fund in lieu of parish cess, and applicable to the same purposes. This was said to be a commutation of the first fruits ; and to a Board of Commissioners, resembling in funtions that of the Board of First Fruits, this fund was en trusted. The objects to which by law it was applicable were— " 1. The building and enlarging of parish churches and chapels of ease. " 2. The repairing, &c., of the same. " 3. The providing of things needful for the celebration of divine service. " It is evident, then, that this fund belongs to the Lay con gregations of Protestants, for the purpose of maintaining the public worship; and that, if this fund be diverted to other purposes, there remains to the Protestant population no legal provision—no means whatsoever, but that of private subscrip t►on for the maintenance of the fabric of the Church, or the celebration of her services. To this tax upon clerical income, the clergy cheerfully submitted, because they conceived their flocks would have the benefit of it. It is to the alienation of this fund to other pur poses, that they now object. " The scheme of the rejected Bill, with Mr. O'Connell's amendment, as explained by Lord Melbourne, may be thus stated. " Forty per cent. of tithes was to have been extinguished for ever, as far as tithes can be extinguished, which is only in name. But the clergy were still to receive, not the remain ing sixty per cent., but. 77/. 10s. per cent., in the following manner; namely, from the landlord the sixty per cent., which was still to be levied on the land ; and from Government 171. 10s. per cent. ; two and a half per cent. being deducted tor agency, &c.,.out of the one-fifth which Government under took to pay. " By this 'distribution, the landlord or the tenant (or both between them) was to pocket forty per cent. of the tithes ; but the clergy were to lose only 221. 10s. per cent., the re mainder of the forty per cent. being to be made goo d to t h em by Government. This difference was to be advanced to the Clergy out of the consolidated fund ; but it was to be repaid to Government out of that fund which we have already de scribed as levied upon clerical income, and lodged in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the purpose of pro viding the Protestant LAy-population of Ireland with the means of carrying on Divine Worship—namely, churches and chapels of ease, and the other requisites of public ssrvicc. " Now, mark the anomaly and absurdity —yea, and what is worse, the dishonesty of this proposal. The clergy were to be taxed at the average rate of 71. per cent. in order to create a fund for providing their congregations with churches, &c., and they were to be paid back, out of this very fund, 171. 10s. per cent., for their own use and support l—a proceeding so Irish, that it would evidently leave " less than nothing" for its original and ostensible objects. It It is solely to this fraud—to this mal-appropriation of a sacred fund belonging by law to the Protestant Laity, that, in a pecuniary point of view, the Clergy and their friends protest. They are not, were not, nor would be, discontented with 771. 10s. out of every 1001. of their lawful property. To the Bill, as it stood previous to Mr. O'Connell's first bite out of the cherry,' they had, by the mouth of Mr. Shaw and their other Parliamentary friends, given a hearty assent ; and by this Bill, it was provided that, for sake of better security, they should resign one-fifth, or 20 per cent. The 21 per cent. for agency was too trifling an_ object to stand in the way of a final settlement; and surely they who had given up so much for peace would not have resisted the purchase of it at the further cost of 2L 10s. out of every eighty pounds. In point of income, then, the clergy would be as well off personally, under the amended, as under that original Bill, to which they had agreed. But they cannot consent that, for the sake of making good their income, the Protestant Church shall be de prived of the means of keeping up her fabric ; that the Laity of their congregations shall be robbed of that sacred fund provided for the perpetual celebration of divine worship, ac cording to the forms and doctrines of the Church to which t4ey belong. This fund belongs to the Laity of Ireland. Th e y must assist their Clergy i n preserving the sacred deposit.”—Aforn ing Chronicle. The Chancellor has signalised his fitness for the improvement of the libel law by his approval of the procedure by criminal information. Upon this subject he held forth as follows, in his evidence before the committee : " The advantage of proceeding by criminal information is this : it erects the Court of King's Bench (and this was al ways Lord Erskine's opinion, entitled to great deference on all subjects, but on none snore than on this) into a court of honour, which may well administer the law of honour between party and p ar ty, with a due att en ti on b oth to the wounded feelings of the individual and to the preservation of the peace. But it has this singular advantage besider—that it enables the party defamed, to purge himself of the offence charged, and gives him an opportunity of defying his adversary to prove the truth of - his accusation. It is in this particular doubly advan tageous beyond an action, which simply defies the slanderer to prove his charge ; and from its nature this may be impossible, though the thing may all the while be true ; so that b r i ng i ng an action really often leaves the truth or falsehood very doubt fill; for how many charges are there which niay be quite true, the gravest charges of all, and in which an action is brutum fulmen, because the defendant cannot by possibility have evidence of it ; and so the bringing an action may only show that the plain tiff is conscious of having committed the offence charged, but cer tain also there can be no evidence against him. For instance, if a man is charged with adultery or seduction—very grave offences, which in the minds of many persons arc so grave that he who is guilty ought to be driven from society—the truth of the charge may be known to himself and his paramour only; and thus it is just as likely, after the verdict for damages shall pass, that the slander was true as before the action was brought. The event will only have proved that no waiting-maid or valet de-chambre had been able to give evidence, or that no one but the parties was cognizant of the fact. But those persons hiving to porno before the Court with afEdavits . of denial, as well se exposing themselves to affidavits of the opposite par. ty, it does not follow that the same persons who would pro ceed by action would venture to swear, and both perjure them selves, and let it be known each to th e o th er f or ever a f ter that be had been guilty of one of the foulest crimes that man can commit,—namely, perjury. These are the reasons why I think that the application in Court for a criminal information, under the statute of William, is a very important and beneficial proceeding for a person defamed." Why Lord Brougham should have made choice of adultery for his example, it is not easy to conjecture, for it is surely a most unapt case for his purpose ; but so it is, that whatever happens to be running in his head finds its way out of his mouth. His Lordship argues with great simplicity, that a guilty pair would not venture to swear, and both perjure themselves, and let it be known each to the other, that he or she hacl committed one of the foulest crimes—namely, perjury. Why when they committed adultery they let it be known, each to the other, that they had committed one of the foulest sins ; and it is hardly to be supposed that they would have more scruples in denying their _guilt, gach for the sake both of self and the other, than in committing it. Every one knows the extremities to which men will go to save female reputation in such cases, and, black as is the crime of perjury, we do not believe that an unprincipled seducer would hesi tate to take a false oath, which would defend him and his paramour from the consequences of their guilt, and defeat their accuser. The keeper of a royal conscience should suppose it at least as improbable that people should commit adultery as that they should swear falsely to conceal it, especially as Lord Brougham has taken some pains to show that the youth of England are trained to taking false oaths. In an argument against the purgation by oath in cri minal informations, the case of adultery might have been used with success. But in this, as in all other recent instances, we see the miscarriage of the Chancellor's mind. He reminds one of a boy in love, taking up the one thing when he wants another, forget ful, abrupt, and incapable of pursuing an idea, or ob serving any-coherency or congruity in speech or action. His flesh is surely fishified. But dropping the unfor tunate example of adultery, we go on with the reason ing in favour of procedure by criminal iuformation Nothing can be more satisfactory in some important re spects than this proceeding. Where a person sees a publica tion charging him with a heinous offence which he knows to be utterly false, it is a great relief to him that he can instantly get a remedy, for it is festinum remedium, except in the course of the long vacation ; he can immediately proceed ; he dis charges his mind by instantly making an affidavit : he then receives the consolation of hearing the Court express a strong opinion, which in such circumstances they never fail to do, in his favour. He then defies his adversary to prove the false hood. His adversary is dared to it, and unless he can do so, he must submit to the information. This I have generally found to be by far the most satisfactory of all the remedies given by law to persons defamed. It is made to depend upon court of honour, not precisely like a jury, which is not so well adapted to be a court of honour as four men, generally of the superior classes of society, by whom character is most valued." . But how stands the case if the offence be truly charged ? There is a temptation then to obtain relief by the commission of perjury, and if the affidavits on the other side cannot substantiate the accusation, and in few instances is it probable that they can, all the ad vantages rest with the forsworn prosecutor, who has the " consolation of hearing the Court express a strong opinion, which in such circumstances they never fail to do, in his favour," and further of shutting out the proof of the truth of the charge against him from the instant that the information is granted. At / this step of the proceeding the case is prejudged. It is held that the truth has been discovered through the con flicting affidavits, and in the subsequent trial the de fendant labours under prejudice, as he would not be in court unless the Judges had been of opinion that he had preferred a false accusation. He offers evi dence to prove,the truth of the charge, which the Judges have disbelieved when supported only by affidavit, and contradicted, be it also observed, by affidavit only, but the evidence is not admitted. What can be more inconsistent with the whole genius of our law than this proceeding ? Which is supposed to be the better method of getting at the truth—the reading , of affidavits, or the hearing of oral evidence sub jected to the searching test of cross-examination ? We need not supply the answer ; all experience affords it. But in procedure by criminal information the clumsiest, the most awkward, the most inadequate and uncertain instruments for grappling with truth are employed in the first instance ; and work being so done by the worst means, the use of the best means for the same object is afterwards not allowed. What has appeared by affidavits is not to be rebutted and disproved by what might appear from oral evidence. The question of the truth or falsehood of the charge having been disposed - of in the preliminary proceeding by the worst process, the law will not permit the Con clusion to be disturbed by the best process for the dis covery of truth. Justice, in the first step, says, " The truth of the accusation must be ascertained. ' She then sets about the discovery by the method she least approves and least practises, and having got a result by the doubtful process, concludes " And now we will go to trial and have nothing more to do with truth." The truth is declared irrelevant, after it has been sought in the way in which it is least likely to be found. And this is the procedure which the Lord Brougham approves, setting up, as he does, for a re former of the libel law, and having had experience of some of the monstrous absurdities and miscarriages of justice incidental to the practice for which he contends. The question was asked— " Is there not this inconvenience as to the practice of pro ceeding by information—that the Court having once granted an information incurring the expense of a trial, the man against whom the criminal information was upon debate granted was afterwards acquitted ? Lord Brougham answered— " Yes; I have seen that happen, and I have kneWn convic tions on which no judgment could be had. I recollect an in stance of a prosecutor, a magistrate, who obtained his criminal information on affidavit, but made such a figure when under cross-examination on 'the trial, that he did not venture to bring up the defendent for judgment, though there was a con viction." But there was a conviction, and the defendant was under the pain of having it hanging over his head, which is no small evil ; and the granting of the infor mation in such a case is example of the danger of drawing conclusions from affidavits, and further the conviction, notwithstanding the discrediting exposure of the prosecutor under examination, was probably a con sequence of the injurious prejudice against the defen dant, upon which we have before observed, arising from the decision of the Court in the preliminary pro ceeding as to the falsehood of the alleged libel. Al most immediately after the Chancellor had instanced the above case, he was asked " Is not the great expense of a criminal information always most harsh 'upon the defendant ?" His' Lordship replied— " I confess Ido not feel that MUCt. If a person chooses to publish libels on another's character, he is not deserving of very great favour." - ‘‘ - If a person chooses to publish libels !" but what if he has not published libels? What if, as in the case quoted by his Lordship, he is convicted against the evidence, by vice of the procedure by criminal in formation ? Even though the defendant may be ac quitted too, expenses will fall on him though he has not, according to the final judgment of the Court, chosen to write libels. If the hardships and injustice to which writers and publishers may be subjected under the present Libel Law are so considered by Lord Brougham, we have only to say Heaven forbid that the reformation of the law be committed to his hands, for much should we apprehend aggravation of the evil instead of alleviation from such a quarter. It is clear that the Chancellor has philosophy enough to bear some of the most vexatious troubles of the press.— Times. The letter of Mr. O'Connell to the people of Ire land, as he chooses to call his own faction, appears in our Paper of this day. is a document worthy of much attention, as it illustrates the immediate tactics of Popish agitation in Ireland, and of still more atten tion as it exposes the true character and position of the British Administration. There is, perkaps, no thing more remarkable in this last production of Mr. O'Connell than the confidence with which he claims the present Ministers of the Crown as his pledged confederates, unless, indeed, it be the easy impudence and the surpassing vigour with which he kicks, and spurns, and tramples upon his boasted allies. He evidently thinks, and in this he makes no mistake, that he has got the present Administration completely i n his clutches, and that, while they are bound .to pro mote his objects and obey .his commands, he may THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1834. with perfect safety tease, deride, insult, and baffle them just as much as he pleases. He writes, so far as they are concerned, like a master, conscious that he has in his hands the mast unresisting and helpless of slaves. The British Administration "is identified" in interest " with the Irish people." "It is because I am convinced that the interests of Ireland are identi fied with those of the present Ministry that I support them." "In opposition to the Orangemen the present Ministry must join us." "We have a right to expect that the King's Government will now act with deci sion after the late scene of atrocity. in Dublin." " The army, the police, and, indeed, the King's Govern ment, must take part with us, if we do keep within the law." These are the least confident terms in which Mr. O'Connell announces his alliance with the British Administration. And, as might naturally be expected, in such an alliance, he proceeds to take the whole game into his own bands, and to show how thoroughly he despises his confederates, and how little he cares for their characters, their policy, or their feelings. We will mention a few of the instances in which Mr. O'Connell's just contempt for his colleagues in the British Cabinet is most strongly marked. Ist. Re gardless of the wishes and feelings of his confederates of Whitehall, he takes care to proclaim that the Ro man Catholic Priesthood of Ireland are also his con federates. " Perhaps it will be communicated to every Catholic in Ireland, and to many Protestants, that I denounce," &c. But it is not every Roman Catholic in Ireland who can read the Pilot. There are many parishes in which the Priest is the only Ro man Catholic possessing this valuable • accom plishment. How, then, is Mr. O'Connell's de nunciations to be communicated to every Roman Catholic unless by the active intervention of the priest hood ? The boast might have been spared. To have spared it would have been agreeable and advantageoas to the Whitehall members of the alliance. Even Lord Duncannon would have been gratified by the omission. But this would not have suited Mr. O'Connell. It was his policy and his humour to intimate to them, and to proclaim to the whole world, that he had other con federates, of greater value and importance, in his esti mation, than the members of the Cabinet. 2dly. It would no doubt have been agreeable to the policy of the British Administration that the Roman Catholic party in Ireland should have assumed an appearance of tranquillity, however illusory and transient, had it been merely in hollow compliment to the new alliance. But even this hollow compliment Mr. O'Connell disdains to pay. It may truly be said that, with the usual ad mixture of hypocritical admonitions to peace, the last address of the Agitator exceeds any of his former ones in the skill, frequency, and power of its incentives to violence and outrage. It is throughout little else but an appeal to the turbulent and vindictive passions of an excitable people. It presents, in a series of well imagined and skilfully-constructed falsehoods, the Pro testants of Ireland the fit and natural objects of Ro man Catholic hatred and vengeance. It speaks of the Nobles among them as " titled banditti," and is throughout more than usually full of the cant phrases of mendacious malignity. In proof of this we need only select at random a few of its exas perating expressions :—" Sanguinary bigotry," " car nage and slaughter," " diabolical rancour and hate," " Orange warwhoop," " agitation of bigotry and ty ranny," " oppression and massacre," "titled Orange men, preparing the means of exterminating the Poor," " wickedness of Irish Parsons and their advisers," " English domination," " the warwhoop of bigotry and blood," " crimes respecting Ireland committed by Lord Grey's Government." The word " blood," which is never used but to madden those to whom it is ad dressed, is repeated not less than eight times. This is the language employed by Mr. O'Connell in the same document in which he confidently asserts that he and the British Administration are embarked in a common cause—that, in the fullest sense of the expr6sion, they are allies and confederates. But the British Ad ministration is responsible for the peace of Ireland, and they cannot but feel that, in using such lan guage, Mr. O'Connell must have intended to show how securely, he holds them in his grasp—how much he is at liberty to insult and trample upon them.- 3dly. Again, Mr. O'Connell kicks and tramples upon his confederates of Whitehall in the terms in which he speaks of the whole of their late col leagues, and of some of their actual number. The present Administration cannot wish that it should be proclaimed to the world from the mouth of a confede rate how widely they differ from the Government of Earl Grey. Whatever may be thought by the O'Con nell faction in Ireland, they know that the promulga tion of this (true though it be) cannot enhance their reputation or promote their interests among the people of England. But to those feelings Mr. O'Connell pays no regard. He hated the Administration of Earl Grey ; he is perfectly enam oure d o f th a t of Lord Melbourne ; and, what ever ma y b ecome o f his old enemies, or of his new f r i en d s , hi s cons i stenc y must be vindicated. " Stanley was an unrelenting enemy to the religion and liberties of the Irish people "Graham was of that worst class of Tories, the no minal Whigs ;" " Earl Grey was, if possible, a still , greater enemy t o I re l an d t h an e i t h er o f t h e f orm er ; ' and the Marquis of Lansdowne is "a hostile spirit." What is this b u t to s a y to Mi n i sters , " Already you are secur e ly m i ne ; b ut, b e f ore I s h a ll b e yours, you must g e t r id o f L ans d owne, an d re p u diate without reserve or equ i vocat i on t h e pr i nc i p l es of Grey. You would wear a mask before your country men ; you would pretend to be a continuation of Earl Grel . sgovernment ; but you have taken me for a con federate, and my first act shall be to tear your mask away, and to spurn you for having been so cowardly and so dishonest as to put it on ?" Mr. O'Connell has Ministers at his feet, and he kicks and tramples upon them without mercy. 4thly. Then comes the repeal of the Union. Mr. O'Connell will suspend agitation upon this subject, assisting Ministers, or re ceiving their assistance, in the meanwhile, to extin guish tithe, and openly proclaiming that the machinery he is about to esbtablish, under the sanction of the administration, shall be employed to prepare the way for agitating the question of Repeal hereafter with in creased effect. This is the kick potential. This is truly to trample his new allies in the mire. There is not one of the present administration but was a party to the concurrent vote of the two Houses of Parliament, the object of which was to discountenance and put down for ever the question of Repeal ; and here within three or four months we find them in close and strict alliance with a powerful demagogue, who loudly proclaims to them, and to all the world, that he will avail himself of the confederacy to promote the object of repeal. Whether Ministers intend to abandon their votes, and become repeaters, or whether they mean to separate themselves from Mr. O'Connell as soon as they have, with his assistance, wrought their will upon the Irish Church, it must, we think, be evident to all mankind that they are at once the most senseless and the meanest of the human race. We have now imper fectly described the abject position to which Mr. O'Connell has had the pleasure of reducing his Noble and Right Honourable Confederates. What is more interesting, however, to the people of Great Britain is the position to which, with the aid of these confede rates, he threatens to reduce the clergy and the Church of Ireland. To this part of his project we may re turn on a future opportunity. We cannot delay, however, for a moment to point out that one of the en gines he means to establish for the . persecution of the Protestant clergy of Ireland is an immense affiliation of Popish clubs throughout that country, to act in concert and with the support of a common purse. We hope we need not point out to the Protestant people of Great Britain the duty suggested to them by this part of the Roman Catholic scheme. The fund of the new persecution will, no doubt, be an abundant -one.- Confession, penance, absolution, ex r,.eme unction ; all the resources - of a dark and slavish superstition, will unite with political rancour, malig nity, and ambition to enrich it. And will the Protest ants of Great Britain stand by inactive and uncon cerned spectators of the persecution t. 9 which the Pro testant clergy and people of Ireland are of le g al chicanery and expense the `.boutProtestants ts be exposed ? S o f ar as th e p ersecut i on is consist whole empire have the p ower o f supplyinnga thus .:eas to y and effectual counteraction. The Popish fund should be met by . a Protestant fund of double its amount. 4 /2 d we have no doubt that it will be so met. The direct advantages of this would be great. Its indirect advantages would be still greater. The spirit of the British people which such an effort would imply would at once dissolve the alliance between Mr. O'Connell and a place-loving Administration. To the Ministers it would communicate alarm—to the demagogue it would inspire moderation.—Morning Post. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 30.—0 n Sunday his Majesty's ship Actaeon, 26, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, arrived from the Mediterranean station to be paid off. She joined the squadron under Sir Josias Rowley, from Constantinople, on the Bth ult., off Myteline, to whom she communicated the solitary fact that several Russian ships were seen, near the mouth of the Bospho rus on -the 2d, which, as it was unaccompanied by any other circumstance of an offensive character, was not deemed of that importance to divert the cruising of the squadron off Vourla and the neighbouring islands. The Actaeon arrived at Malta on the 17th, and sailed the next day for England, bringing a a Post-office mail. Though the letter of our correspondent is not of so recent a date as that received by the Flamer steamer (which appeared in our last paper), it is nevertheless of suffi cient interest to make an ample extract : " OFF MYTELINE, JULY s.—Sir Josias Rowley, who seems to enjoy good health, and who has still an active mind, seldom remains a week in one place, and exercises his ships in ma nceuvring and sailing whenever he is under weigh. The Thunderer decidedly bears the palm among the two-deckers, and the Britannia beats the three-decked ships on all points. The Britannia is ordered home, having served out her period. Our short stay at Smyrna was caused by a report that the plague had appeared in the town, but it proved to be mild, and not spreading. We are all in high health and efficiency, and find the weather in the Archipelago very cool and pleasant compared with' that at Malta. " The latest intelligence from Samos states that the inhabi tants of that island had laid down their arms, and received the Turks, lauding their clemency. " During our sojourn at Napoli, a very interesting trial was going on in the Court-house, which proved quite a lozenge to the officers of the squadron, who were glad of the opportunity to see the two state prisoners, Colocotroni and Roliopolis, names, especially the former, familiar to every one acquainted With the history of modern Greece. The Attorney-General Who conducted the prosecution, was a Scotch gentleman of the name of Magsen, who has during his life been an enthusiast in the cause of Greece. He has acquired a perfect knowledge of the modern as well as the ancient language, is profoundly versed in the Greek laws, Justinian's, and pleads with great ease and fluency. He has lately been raised to his station, which he seems to fill ably and satisfactorily to the delight of his nume rous friends and admirers, whose warm interest he has secured by his simple and ingenious manners, united to his uniform and disinterested exertions in the cause of this country. " We are surprised and pleased with the great improve ments that had taken place at Napoli, since the arrival of the Regency and Bavarian troops. Many excellent houses have been and are being built, so as to form regular streets, some of which are macadamised already. A very good and active police are organized. Great bustle and activity were observed among the various artisans and tradespeople, and peace and good order were established not only here, the seat of Govern ment, but throughout all Greece. Unfortunately, however, the members of the Regency are not united in their counsels, and an ill-timed and badly-planned expedition of Bavarian troops, to reduce some refractory mountaineers in Mains., has proved quite unsuccessful. They were repulsed with consider able loss ' • some were taken prisoners, stripped, mutilated, and s ent back again. " The young King.. who has grown very much since he came to this country, visited the Caledonia and Thunderer, and entertained the Admiral and Captains at dinner. The President and Members of the Regency, and some of the other public functionaries, also paid visits of ceremony to the flagship, which were returned, and various entertainments were afterwards given by the Admiral and local authorities re siding at Napoli, even in this hot season a place of considera ble bustle and festivity. " All attempts to disturb the public tranquillity have been successfully put down by the energy of the Government, and the firmness of the troops. A resolution has been passed, or dering the demolition of the private towers and armed forts of the country." The ship Sir Joseph Banks, T. B.

In this case a foreign merchant of the name of Ealmann applied for allowance of interest on part of his debt. This firm had made advances on property abroad, and' hen the fiat was issued, they consented, at the request of the assig nees, to postpone the sale till a more favourable time. The consequence was, that the goods were sold at a better price, but his firm had been refused interest for the delay. If this refusal were confirmed, the effect would be to place much bankrupt property abroad at great hazard. The Solicitor to the fiat said, that if a claim for interest were made until the sale of goods were effected, bankrupts' estates might never be wound up. The Commissioner decided that the claim should not be received. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Joice, a waterman's apprentice, appeared on Satur day morning before the magistrates, to answer to an infor mation laid by a waterman, named George Hurd, for having plied a wherry for hire, without the owner's name or any number being painted thereon, according to the provision of the Act of Parliament. Joice, a decent young man, in answer to the charge, had been apprenticed to his brother some time since, but had been just turned over to his father, and the latter had ap plied at the Watermen's Hall for a license for the wherry in question ; but in consequence of a press of business the clerk said he could not grant it then, but would have it ready for him on Monday next. Hurd said that the boat had been used by defendant's father in the present unlawful manner for two years. This assertion was denied by Joice. Sir F. ROE said the fine was 405., but as it appeared a license for the boat had been applied for he should miti gate it to 55., which, with the expenses, amounting to 4s. 6d. more, the father paid, and the parties retired. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. Mr. William Russell, the alleged proprietor of the gaming -house, No. 5, King-street, St. James's, and also connected with the Strangers' Club, Waterloo-place, was brought to this office, on a Judge's warrant, for the purpose of compelling him to put in bail to answer at the Sessions an indictment which charged him with having kept a com mon gaming-house in King-street. The Solicitor on behalf of Mr. Russell wished to know what his client had been taken into custody for, as on the previous Saturday, he had put in bail before Mr. Dyer, and that Magistrate had then granted a supersedeas. The person prosecuting the indictment (Matthews) said he had received no notice of bail. Mr. DYER (who was on the bench with Mr. Chambers) observed to the prosecutor that as he only required sure ties for the attendance of Mr. Russell at the sessions he was now in possession of what he wanted, the requisite sureties being forthcoming. Mr. Russell said that these proceedings against him were not instituted with a view of effecting any public good, but for the purpose of extorting money—an object which he was resolved to defeat. The prosecutor (Matthews) had been going round the " ring" (a cant term for gaming houses as understood), and had compromised with above forty persons connected with gaming -houses. In fact, he (defendant) had several times compromised similar pro ceedings with him. Mr. CHAMBERS (to Matthews)—You hear what the de fendant says : If it is not true, why don't you deny it ? Matthews—lt is not true. Defendant—l have got his receipt for the money I paid him, and I can produce them. The parties then retired into the clerk's office. MARYLEBONE. J. Snelling, an industrious man, living in the vicinity of a penny theatre, called the Pavilion, in Little Church street, Lisson-grove, was charged with having, in company with his wife, created a disturbance at the door of the thea tre, and assaulted the policeman who interfered. The defendant said, with tears in his eyes, that the thea tre had been the ruin of his son, a lad of twelve years of age. His object in going to the theatre was to bring away his son from scenes which must destroy his morals. Mr. SHUTT discharged the defendant, and directed the attention of an inspector to the theatre in question. Q UEEN-SQUARE. DEFEAT OF INFORMERS.—Edward Richardson, land lord of the Feathers public-house, at Kensington Gravel pits, was summoned by Byers, for serving during the hours of divine service. • The informer's witness swore that he went into defen dant's house on Sunday, the 17th inst., at a quarter to five o'clock in the afternoon, and found several persons drinking therein. He afterwards went to the parish church ; the service was then going on. The parish beadle having stated that on the day in ques tion the church service was over at a quarter to five, the Magistrates instantly dismissed the information. William Dorrell, proprietor of the Beaumont Arms, Shepher's Bush, also appeared to an information for a simi lar offence. Edward Sweet, the witness for Byers, stated his case ; but several persons came forward, and so positively said that the house was not open at the time sworn to by the informer, that the Magistrates dismissed this also. Ann Jones and Harriet Ilixon were charged by Donald !M‘Kechnie, a sergeant of the Scotch Fusileer Guards, with robbing him of twelve sovereigns. The prosecutor, it appeared, had received twenty-two sovereigns to purchase a soldier's discharge ;.but having met the prisoners when the worse for liquor, he accompanied them to Westminster, He shortly afterwards missed 12 sovereigns, and gave information to the police, who secured the girls, and upon Jones ten soverei gns w ere found. The MAGISTRATES, however, did not think that there was sufficient evidence to convict the prisoners, and upon their giving up the money they were discharged. W OR SHIP- STREET. A man named John Lucas, and young woman whom he stated to be his wife, were charged, the former with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Kent and Co., general mer chants, Falcon -street, Falcon-square, City, and the latter with receiving the stolen property. It appeared that the male prisoner had been in the employ of the prosecutors about five years as warehouseman, and that it was sus pected he had stolen property to the amount of 800/. The female prisoner frequently visited him at the warehouse, and Lucas gave out that he was married to her, his first wife having died. On Friday last the male prisoner offered a quantity of haircloth to a broker named Vann, who, sus pecting that he had obtained possession of it improperly, caused him to be apprehended ; a quantity of haircloth, wash leather, hairbrushes, &c., was found at his house. Mr. Vickers, a hairdresser in Old-street, produced a quantity of combs and hairbrushes which he had purchased of the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded, that further evidence might be procured. The first wife of the prisoner was present. LAMBETH-STREET. TRADES' UNIONISTS.—Joseph George, a journeyman to Messrs. Curtis and Sons, builders, at Stratford, applied for a warrant against a person, who he stated had most vio lently assaulted him. It appeared that the men in Mr. Curtis's employment had turned out, but the applicant having refused to leave his work, one of the Unionists waylaid and severely ill treated him. The warrant was at once granted. J. Deaconhurst, conductor of a Blackwall omnibus, was charged with assaulting Maurice Thomas, Esq., the Tower Coroner. The complainant was induced to go by the Defendant's omnibus upon the assurance that no stoppages would be made on the road. Several did take place, and at last Mr. Thomas determined upon getting out, but the conductor held the door so fast as to prevent his leaving the omnibus for some time. This was the assault com plained of. The defendant appeared sorry for what he had done, and was let off by paying the costs. UNION-HALL. A woman named Lee was charged with bein g a common utterer of counterfeit coin. The prisoner, who has been in custody before for a similar offence, was a p pre h en d e d f or offering a counterfeit shilling at a chandler's shop in Ber mondsey. A child, whom she had left waiting in the street, on being searched, was found in possession of eleven base shillings. Mr. Powell, the Mint solicitor, prosecuted the prisoner's husband for a similar offence at the Lancaster assizes. The Prisoner, on the trial, endeavoured to call forth the sym pathy of Lord Lyndhurst, th e J u d ge , i n hi s b e h a lf, by pro ducing his masonic certificates, and making a sign to the Bench that he was not an impostor. His Lordship, how ever, said that the prisoner's being a free and accepted Mason should have no weight in his favour, for the very cir cumstance of his being so endowed rather aggravated than otherwise the nature of his offence.—Remanded. The Journal des Connaisances Usuelles says, that sugar is a complete antidote for poisons obtained from the oxydes of copper and lead. LIGHT AND AIRY.—Air-tight bustles, filled with wind have recently been introduced as substitutes for the heavy pads formerly worn by the fair sex ; they have the double advantage of being used as air cushions, where hard seats are inconvenient. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, AUG. • 28.—1 t app ears from the infor mation which has b een g i ven t o us , that not only has the fall of timber in the f ores t o f Soignies been sold before hand, but that even som e sma ll portions of the superfiees of the forest, which were given to the Duke of Wellington by the late Government, have been likewise sold. It is added that the Duke has refused to ratify those sales, and that the Four' chasers who have already paid have not been able to take possession. The Courier Beige declares that the whole story about the sale of the forest of Soignies belonging to the Dale e t Wellington is a tissue of mistakes. No part of the fere' of Soignies ever was granted to the Duke ; but of her woods, called the Wood of Nevilles, of La Bruyer e, So " , all of them at least five leagues distant from the front ot Soignies. All of them, except the wood of Nevill es, were cut down, and the ground cleared for tillage, sever al Y e ago, without any opposition or objection from any Pers 0 whatsoever. f the BRUSSELS, Aug. 29.—We hear that the expense s trial at Mons amounted to no less than between three and four hundred francs per day, including the two weeks' interval for the maintenance of the prisoners and the remuneratio n of the witnesses, which would make a total of from ten to thirtee° thousand francs. An express from Paris having brought word of a farther de: cline in the Rentes Perpetuelles of Spain (to the exte nt : is said, of two and a half to three per cent.), they have fal le o still lower here. They are offered at 334 money, an d at " for September; but there were no buyers at these prices. The coupons of the Cortes were better than yesterok they were in demand at 141 141.

Vienna, we yesterday received the following particulars Ode, tive to the artful manner in which the Viceroy of Egypt on dined the invitation to appear in person at Constantinople be the marriage of the Sultan's daughter, an invitation vib le f it thought rather suspicious. The refusal and the manlie r ° . do . greatly incensed the Sultan, and revived the old hardly.7l„, pressed resentment towards the ambitious Pacha, who is stints. dined to open treason. A peremptory firman has been se P t y him, giving him to understand, among other things, tbsti time is not distant when merited punishment will gud overtake the enemies of the Sublime Porte. This warning the and plainly expressed in the Turkish fashion, has incluec" re .
