SPIRIT OF TME PUBLIC JOURNALS. We yesterday received, by the Dutch 'mail; an important note presented by the two Dutch Ple- 1 nipotentiaries in London, on the 14th inst., to the Conference of the Five Powers who lately framed the treaty of separation between Holland and Belgium. This document, which may be considered as a formal protest against the arrange ment in question, and a demand for the recom mencement of negotiations on a new footing, appears to us to come rather too late. The Five Powers have already become parties to a conven tion with the King of Belgium, embodying the treaty to which the King of Holland now ob jects. That treaty, after having been discussed with great heat in the Belgic legislature,—after having been adopted by the Belgians with much reluctance, and only as a concession to general tranquillity,—after having been accepted and ra tified by the Great Powers,—has now become part of the public law of Europe. On that con. vention Leopold is now a recognized Sovereign, —on that convention, he sends his ambassadors to Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh, and receives envoys from these courts,—on that convention a new flag is ac knowledged, and a new kingdom is seceived into the community of European States,—from that convention the very throne of the Belgic King derives all its stability ; for his subjects would either shake him from it, or shake it from under him, if he should consent to make any farther concession, or to propose any unfavour able condition in its stipulations. Before all these measures were executed—before all these engagements were made—before all these obliga tions were established—before this settlement was universally recognized—there might have been a door left open for changes and modifica tions in the treaty ; but now that door would appear shut for ever, so far as the Conference is concerned, by the implication of the interests, understandings, and pledges of third parties. With this observation we might dismiss this diplomatic note, ahly drawn as it is, as probably the Conference will do ; but looking at its con tents, its matter appears to us as unreasonable as its presentation is ill-timed. It again recurs to the hacknied claim of being beard according to a decision of the Congress of Aix-la-Cha pelle ; as if, indeed, his Dutch Majesty had not been heard by two of the most respectable and ablest diplomatists whose services lie can com mand. The article to which they allude, and on which they lay an unnecessary stress, was in tended to prevent the adoption of any decision, by the Amphyctionic Council, which the Con gress at Aix-la-Chapelle established against any of the minor Powers, without inviting that minor Power into court, hearing its plea, and making it a party to the proceedings going forward. It was never meant to imply that the Great Powers should have no secret sittings, or that they should not be allowed to retire to consider their verdict, though the party was to be heard in the first instance, and was to be called in to listen to the judgment in the last. Is there any body who considers the immense quantity of paper wasted in making known the claims both of Holland and Belgium, and the immense number of oral as well as written communications which furnished topics for so many meetings in Downing-street, and articles for so many pub lished protocols, who will have the boldness to say that Holland has not been attentively heard by the Plenipotentiaries during the late nego tiations ? It was generally understood before, that his Dutch Majesty objected to only two or three parts of the treaty of separation, and that provided he could maintain the exclusive use of his canals, and get a little more money to pay off the joint debt, he would be satisfied ; but this note places things exactly in :the same position in which they were when the Duke of Welling ton's Ministry was dissolved, and would de molish every arrangement that has since been concluded. The division of the debt,—the limitation of the territory,—the navigation of the rivers and canals,—the relation of the King to the Germanic body by means of Luxemburg, —every thing, in short, is thrown open to dis cussion. " A formal treaty, the Plenipotentia ries complain, has been concluded between their Excellencies and the Belgic Plenipotentiary pre judicial to the rights of the King, those of Hol land, and of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, and injurious to those of the Germanic Con federation, agreeably to which, none of its mem bers (an be dispossessed of his territory without his consent." It is rather singular that the Germanic Confederation should not have per ceived the injury done it by the treaty in ques tion, and should have, by its two most powerful members, given it a full assent. The great, and probably the only important, objection to the twenty-four articles lies against the provision which admits, by right, Belgic navigation through the Dutch canals, but even here it ought to be recollected that a river often ends in a canal, or becomes a canal in some part of' its course, and that if Belgium were excluded from the use of such canals, her trade could not exist. To this part of the subject, and to some of the other matters contained in this clever paper, we may again recur. Why do not Belgium and Holland try to settle their present differences by negotiation, as they both complain of the Con ference ?—Times. The long-promised communication of the I French Ministry to the Legislative Chambers on the affairs of Lyons, was made on Saturday, and is inserted in all the Journals of Sunday. It was delivered by M. Casimir Perier, the Prime Minister, and bears every mark of being exclusively his own. Though it is long, we have thought it necessary to insert it nearly entire, and beg to eall attention to it as a very able and Statesman-like document. The Mini ster distinctly admits, that among; the imme diate causes of the explosion at Lyons was the adoption of a tariff of prices between the rnanti,- facturers and the workmen, in which the Go, vernment bad not conctirred, but which the local authorities appeared to sanction. It was quite evident that any transaction respe c ti ng the rate of wages, in which the Government took' a side, could either not be enforced or must lead to mischief. The Prefect might command the rnaster-manufacturers to pay a certain fixed price to their workmen, for every yard of silk which they took out of their looms ; but he could not command them to afford more work at the same rate. In short, he might enforce an agreement already made about work already executed, though at a loss to the manufacturers ; but he could not compel them to go on in supplying work to be executed at a loss. Both sides may be free in making their contracts, or the Government must declare both under authoritative regula tions, and settle the rewards of industry and the relations of society at its pleasure. Its duties, where wisely exercised, are limited to the pro tection of both parties alike—to the removal of obstructions which oppose their common free dom—to the opening of the new markets which may promote the consumption of the commodi ties which they . Wave conjointly 'contributed to produce. If any thing is granted by its inter ference, to enable, on the one hand, the manu facturer to employ his capital, or, on the other, the workman to obtain a higher reward for his labour, it must be the result of a contribution from the whole State, and not supplied at the expence of one individual class for the benefit of another. The silk-manufacturer of Lyons was no more bound to pay a franc for work which was only worth to him two-thirds of a franc, than lie was bound to ruin himself by paying unau thorised taxes to support the cotton-spinners of Rouen. .Hjs proximity to the suffering objects whom he formerly employed might more forcibly call forth his charity or sympathy, but could not impose on him any legal obligation to employ their labour at a loss. All are bound to main tain the poor who cannot work, or to assist the labourer who cannot subsist upon the too scanty fruits of his industry ; but what is the obligation of all, according to their means, ought not to be imposed as a ruinous burden on any particular class, trade, or profession. The French Government had previously • acted on this prin ciple by procuring a vote of the Chambers for funds to assist national or local enterprise, and to yield employment to a population without work, at the national expense or risk. It has now given a public sanction to the same neces sary maxim, by annulling the authoritative tariff of Lyons. In giving an account of the mea sures taken by Marshal Soult and the Duke of Orleans, in their Lyonese mission, M. Casimir Perier ascribes to the prudent delay which they observed the peaceful termination of the embassy. Instead of pushing forward to enter the insur gent city by precipitation and with force, trust ing in the fidelity and numbers of their army, they remained for several days active, though not hostile, in the neighbourhood, to allow the passions of the multitude to cool, and to pre pare, by the concentration of an irresistible mili tary body, the means of a N ictory without blood shed,—of a triumph without resistance. No }thing could be better calculated to secure the objects of the Government than such a con !ciliatory procrastination—such an overwhelming 'display of force. If an attack had been made upon the workmen with inadequate forces, they :might have gained a second success, and by success have acquired political leaders ; but the 'increasing difficulties of delay, and the antici :pated resentment of a whole nation, they could !not withstand. They therefore laid down their , power, without attempting to stipulate for t e rms of capitulation,—unreserved submission was exacted and agreed to,—the reign of the laws was restored without any new breaches of order, :and the insurgent workmen received the civil l and military authorities as a deliverance from ithemselves. Thus no compromise was made ! with rebellion, and the facility with which the !National Guard was dissolved and disarmed, ihas probably rather strengthened than weakened the power of the general Government. If this !civil militia in Lyons was wanting in zeal or !patriotism, the deficiency was amply , compen- Isated by the despatch and fidelity with which !the moveable bodies of this same force hastened !at the call of the authorities from the neigh bouring departments to join the troops of the !line, and to envelop the rebellious city for the Ipurpose of re-establishing order. We must refer to the report of the Minister for the measures taken to alleviate that distress which the abo lition of the tariff would occasion, but which its continued enforcement must have aggravated. The introduction of these measures leads him to a general defence of the Government and the revolution of 1830, out of which it sprung, from the charge of having caused .that interruption to industry,—that loss of :commercial confidence,—that dilapidation of !private fortunes,—that increase of the public burdens,—that depression of wages, and thoie !other national calamities which factious writers :have ascribed to them. He traces the origin of : these evils either to a more distant source or to lan unavoidable necessity, and shews that the !Administration and the Legislature, instead of !aggravating their pressure, had done all in their !power to alleviate or remove it. Hence, for !material improvements, he refers to the laws , leither passed or in progress, for encouraging lo cal enterprise.—for making roads or constructing !public works,—for introducing the warehouse Is' and improving the Custom-house laws, and other measures relative to trade and in dustry. And hence, for the satisfaction of the `moral wants of the nation, he enumerated the ;law of elections, the law for municipal admi nistration, the law for establishing the National !Guards, and other similar enactments. The taxes he showed had only been increased in con ' templation of a war with which France was threa tened ; and the prudence and gootl fortune with `which that war had been avoided,—due mainly to his own administration,—presented the best guarantee that every practicable means would be employed to cultivate and improve those bless ngs of internal order, liberty, and confidence, !which peace alone can secure. The Minister's communication, which will be read with atten tion in this country as well as in France, was to give rise to a discussion on Monday.—Tinzes. Our Journal to-day contains at considerable length an account of a process or law-cause of ihe moat singular nature that was ever laid be pre the public. It is an action in nullity of a iwill,—that is, an action to set aside the will and testament of the last member of the illustrious House of Bourbon-Conde, made in favour of a young Prince of the House of Orleans, the youngest son of the Duke of that name, now !Louis -Philip, King of the French. This is the object of the action in a civil sense ; but in a ;moral one, it is neither more nor less than to !accuse the present King of the French of con piving with the mistress of the late unhappy old !Puke of Bourbon, to induce him to make a will against his own wishes and intentions in favour of this youthful branch of the stem of Orleans. This will is sworn to have beep made under re peated acts of menace and violence on the part of the woman, but was no sooner exe cute,d, than the most cutting and painful reflections followed, and harrowed up the bosom of the testator. He even meditated and pl an ned an escape from the clptches of his she-gaoler - , when somehow or other be died. The mistress obtained immense legacies and be quests. The house of Orleans will enjoy the principal estates, unless the effect of this most important law-suit b e to establish the nullity of the will, and so to strip the chief of that house not only of its new and vast acquisitions, but of all title to the respect of mankind. What may be called the eNculpatory part of the process is all that h a s appeared yet. The depositions on r. the side of the legatees have ri a been heard, nor indeed has the defence o f th e will beep opened ; but among the documents produced is enough to show that there was an understandiDg and a cor-1 respondence between the Duke of Bourbon's mistress and the - Duke of Orleans, unless the documents can be proved to be forged. Our readers are aware, that the Duke of Bourbon was the father of the murdered Duke of Enghien. He died on the 11th of August, 1830, in the 75th year of his age. "He disappeared," says 111. Hennequin, the advocate, " in the midst of a horrible catastrophe, the darkness surrounding which is now dissipating every day."—Times. We have directed the attention of our readers, from time to time, to the sufferings and wrongs of Poland. The subject is appalling—not merely as it is a history of wrong triumphant, and right, and valour, and virtue depressed, but as it is also a record and testimony, to the disgrace of civi lized Europe, of all those powerful and enlight ened nations w hich, pretending to regulate the destinies of the world at other periods, looked on at that great murder, called the battle of Warsaw, without . lifting a hand to strike one virtuous blow in the cause of freedom and huma nity. We would not insult the heroes—whom we neglected in the hour of peril—with offers of condolence now that their doom is fulfilled. If we could they would not accept it. No ; they have spurned the compassion and denounced the selfishness of Europe—of Europe, which, after countenancing the crime of their overthrow, lis not in a state of moral elevation high enough to offer them its sympathy. Still it is impossible but that we should feel and ex els an interest 1 , in the fortunes of that in a people, and jo should notice the wrongs i ictvl on them,' though, in doing so, we re ster events which cast a stain upon the age. , the last accounts from Warsaw are dreadflt The pretence of clemency is still kept up b ose who call them selves the conquerors of ; but what do their acts proclaim ?—Ban ent, confiscation, death ! It is true we hear little of the details, for the Journals are all silenced on the subject ; or if they write, must write at the word of com mand. To speak—nay, to whisper—nay more, to be suspected of a whisper to the disadvantage of the barbarians, is a crime of the greatest mag- 1 nitude, for which there is a bullet law, without even the summary process of a drum-head Court martial. And yet this, the common expedient of tyranny to prolong its own reign, and evade, as it were, the execration which its conduct merits, is not capable of suppressing the whole truth. In spite of this system enough has transpired to show what sort of magnanimity that is which injustice vouchsafes to misfortune. We have read over and over, usque ad nauseam, promises of magnanimity and moderation on the part of the Russian Emperor; but late accounts inform us how far this magnanimity has been realised by putting us in possession of one re markable fact. It is stated that even the instru ments of husbandry are refused to the Poles, lest they should turn them into weapons of of fence against their oppressors. Famine is appre hended as the consequence ; but still the instru ments are refused. And is this the magnanimity, and are these the fruits of conquest, that those who lay claim to both should be afraid to trust the hands they have subdued, not with arms, but with any thing capable of being employed by the ingenuity of man as weapons of protection or revenge ? It may be, as the German Newspapers have repeatedly asserted, that these are not the spontaneous acts of the Autocrat—that he may be controuled and overruled by the state of opi nion amongst his own subjects. But what a pic ture does this afford of despotism ? With so much power to do evil, has it so little to do good ? And is this, indeed, the real condition of despots, after all we have been told about their authority, that even when they have justice and clemency on their side, and a wish to conform their con duct to those principles, the fear of the bow string, or some horrible vision, interposes to check and alter the course which might other wise have reconciled them to themselves. Surely it may be hoped that, as reason advances, this dreadful eminence will become less an object of desire, as it will certainly become daily an object of more difficult achievement. If the last ac counts from Warsaw be correct, the conduct of the Russians, and the feelings to which it will give rise in every well-constituted mind, will contribute, with the example of the heroic Poles, to promote the cause of freedom by mak ing despotism, if possible, more hateful than it was before.—Morning Herald. We refer our readers to another column for an account of some curious proceedings con nected with the putting down a Political Union, on the model of that of Birmingham. In this country the Magistrates, and not the Legisla ture, make the law. What in Birmingham is lawful, is unlawful in Fairford. Our columns of yesterday contained a curious specimen of the airs which the Great Unpaid choose to give themselves. 'We allude to the correspondence between Lord Althorp and Mr. Hutton. His Lordship, who, of all public men, perhaps, is the most anxious to avoid language at which ex ception may be taken, and whose good temper is prove:bial, happened, in opposing the motion for an inquiry in the case of Deacle, to take a distinction between that case and the Manches ter one of 1819, and because his Lordship did not appear to approve of the Manchester pro ceedings, this was quite egjtai to induce Mr. Hulton to withdraw his AlZlNenatice from the Government. The accouilt dif Mr. Hulton's act was conveyed to Lord,. Althorp by a Mr. Philips, in a tone which, we suppose, indicated his persuasion that the MirAstrcould not sur vive the displeasure of Mr. 1-14.11t0n, of Hutton. His Lordship did what few men, in.his situation would have done—conceiving that Mr. H. was labouring under some misapprehension as to what he said, he endeavoured to satisfy him that he had said nothing at which Mr. Hutton could reasonably take offence. So far from appeasing this choice specimen of the great unpaid, his Lordship's well-intended communication only served to feed his arrogance. He declared that he felt himself " called upon, as Chairman of the Committee of Magistrates, upon whom the responsibility in 1819 devolved, publicly to de clare, that I would not submit to be thus taunted, especially at a crisis when, if I acted acted ac cording to my deliberate construction of the law of England, I should repeat the same line of conduct which I pursued in 1819. If I neg lected thus to act, I should probably have to witness the conflagration of the great manufac turing establishments I was bound, by my oath, to guard ; if I conscientiously performed my duty, I should expose myself to a prosecution by bis Majesty's Attorney-General," What a con trast between the unassuming gentlemanly tone of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the swaggering of this district-dictator T, In the case o f the Political Union of Fairford, the pro. ceedings were laid before Lord Melbourne, with ' a request to know whether the Union violated the law ; but one of his Majesty's Justices of ;he Peace having giwn an opinion, his Lordship prudently declined giving another. Who knows. but the whole magistracy of Gloucestershire, with the Lord-Lieutenant at their head, would have struck, if a whisper had been uttered against the construction of the law of one of the rural aristo cracy! If MinistAponceive they , are above the_Ma gistracy, they are'* . under a delusion. They are on their good behaviour with the Tory Lieute nants and 'Squires, who are lying-in-watt .. for ex pressions on which to ground a ,441enge. " Meaning me, Sir !" would be in &millionth of every indignant 'Squire, if a word susceptible of a doubt that the country is not at present in debted for its existence to the Great Unpaid, were to be expressed by any Ministers. No, no, Ministers are not above the Magistrates. Beau marchais, it is said, engraved on the collar of a large dog—" Beaumarchais belongs to me." The Tory 'Squires conceive, no doubt, they do Ministers great honour, by extending to them their protection. They are like the dog that owned Beaumarchais. Our sentiments with re spect to the Unpaid have long been known, and we believe there are now few reflecting persons who do not share our belief, that the degradation of the peasantry of England is their work. A people sublipet to discretion and not to law, are slaves ;-ted the .peasantry are at the discretion of t ustices of Peace. A machine better calculated or crushing a peasantry, and extinguishing in them all feelings of self- respect,neyer existed in any coun try. The power of the Barons in the feudal tjap es was less mischievous ; because the Kipg.Wheil the Barons ; and the 'squirearch*bring tlilPower of their whole order to bear,aliinst individuals. It is only since the American war that the unpaid tyranny has exhibited itself,in'all its mischievous ness. It seems to have been about that time thought by the Tories that the people could only be kept under by protecting the unpaid in all sorts of discretionary freaks. Before that time the Courts used freettenary to hit the Jus tices very hard. The rule with the Courts now is to protect them through thick and thin ; and their tyranny has produced in the south of Eng land (for in the north of England Justices are not in general plentiful) the effects which ty ranny always produces. The substitution of discretionary powers for law is tyranny. We hardly ever receive a paper which does not con tain abundant proofs of the lawless state of Eng land under the Justices ; for when every Magi strate makes his own law, it is the same thing as if there were none. In the Bolton Chronicle of Saturday last, there is an article on the subject of an Auxiliary Police, in which the writer alludes also to the Magistracy. The following passage from it points out forcibly, by apt instances, the impossibility of expecting anything like an admi nistration of law from the present men : " We now pass," says the writer, " to that part of our plan applying to the appointment of the Magistracy being confirmed by the sanction of the people; and as our pre vious remarks will apply to this part of the subject also, we will confine ourselves to the benefit that would result from the administration of justice being under the guid ance of a head or stipendiary Magistrate, he being assisted by other gentlemen in the commission of the peace. The great benefit, and the only one we shall enlarge upon, will be that those anomalies in the decisions (often on the same bench) that exist under the present system would be guarded against. We need only mention one to illustrate this point ;—a conviction under the Game Laws, which appears in our Sessions report of last Monday. The case was as follows :—Five men were seen unlaw fully attempting to take game in the day time.— They all escaped. In a few days two of them were taken into custody, brought before the Magistrates, and the case proved against them. The Magistrates, Major Watkins and Mr. Allen, on reference to the statute, put the construction upon it, that they were bound to convict the prisoners in one penal sum and costs, and in default of payment to send them to the House of Correction ; and neither of the prisoners could by law be discharged from the consequences of their offence until the whole penalty and the whole of the costs were paid, or justice satisfied 'by the other alternative. Two more of the poachers were subsequently taken into custody and brought to the same Sessions room to have the charge against them heard, but before different Magistrates, though the two who had heard the former case were in attendance. The same evi dence was given as in the former case, but these Magis. traces, Mr. Ridgway and Mr. Kearsley, on reference to the statute, convicted each prisoner in the penal sum of 40s. and costs. Probably, when the fifth is taken, if he is examined before a different Magistrate, a different and fresh construction may be put upon this extremely ♦er satile clause •f an Act of Parliament which has bad all the wisdom of nearly all the Squirearchy exhausted upon it." We could say much more on this subject ; but we shall leave it for the present.—Morning Chronicle. The principle of concession to brutal violence is deliberately announced and elaborately de fended by all the public writers, without excep tion, who profess themselves the friends of the present Administration, as the only safe and wise and universal maxim upon which Govern ment can act. Is the question the Legislature is called upon to decide a question as to the main tenance of a Constitution under which the na tion has outstripped every competitor in the race of glory, prosperity, and power ; or its sub version, for the purpose of building upon its ruins some new-fangled and untried form of Go vernment of which no man can foresee the effects? There is really no question at all, say these appel lants to brute force ; the change must be made forthwith, or the land will be covered with blood. The same reasoning is applied, and from such persons no other indeed could be ex pected; to another question of not inferior importance, that, namely, of the mainte nance or desertion of the Protestant Church in Ireland. " What !" say these partisans of our liberal Government, " pretend to vindi cate the rights and protect the property of the Protestant Church ! Surely no such prepos terous design can possibly be entertained. Were not twelve policemen and a process-server mur dered last week merely because the Roman Catholics of Ireland do not like to pay tithes ? Talk of legal right indeed ! What is the'value of legal right unless the people will aid the law or not oppose it ?" Such is, without colour or m isrepresentation, the reasoning of the Press ythich.diguides the Statesmen who at the present moment . Apinister the affairs of the British „ It is.l plain invitation to every portion of the community which happens at any time to be dissatisfied with any part of the law to resist with violence and bloodshed that part of the law• It i s a distinct announcement that such are the means by which the change they de sire, be it what it may, will most cer tainly be accomplished. The question which occurs to the leaders and patrons of Ministers to ask, upon the occasion of a massacre of the agents of the law, is, not how the law may be most vigorously enforced, and its san guinary violators brought most promptly to the punishment they so well deserve, but simply whether any tithe, or any equivalent for the actual tithe, can be levied much longer upon Irish Ca tholics, to support a Protestant Church ? This question having been answered, as no doubt it is intended that it should be answered, practically in favour of the object of the murderers, and against the law and the Church , the next ques tion to arise in Ireland may easily be an ti c i pa t e d. Is it possible that any taxes, or any equivalent for the actual taxes, can be levied much longer upon Irish Catholics to support a Protestant Government ?" And no doubt, after two or three dozen of excisemen and custom-house cers shall have been murdered by the friends of liberality and Reform, this question, like the former, will have to be answered practically in favour of the object of the murderers, and against the law and the Exchequer. But is it not plain that the real question now at issue, however it may be disguised by the friends of a Ministry too feeble and timid to avert it, is simpler and shorter than either of these, although it comprehends them both ? It is, whether there is or is not any Government in existence in Ire land ? Mr. Stanley may find employment for Committees of the two Houses of Parliament in the examination of witnesses from now to Midsummer, but, cui Bono, if Government cannot or will not enforce the laws ? Is it in tended to call before the Parliamentary Com mittees the elite of the two thousand murderers, on account of whose exploit our Ministerial contemporaries insist that the property of the Irish Church must of necessity be surrendered, in order to ascertain what kind of arrangement will be agreeable to them and their instigators ? And if this were done, who can be sure.4,hat be fore the stipulated enactment could come into operation the lay ruffians, or thesacerdotal Po pish traitors who train and impel them, might not have changed:oo%l74i ? All inquiry, all le gislation upon this subject, is mere childish folly until it be shewn that law can be executed and en forced. These may help to disguise for a' time the melancholy and disgraceful fact that the Execu tive Government of Great Britain has per mitted the authority over Ireland to slip out of their feeble hands ; but it will require other in quiries' and a far different kind of legislation, to enableli b m' to regain it. How instructive a selection might now be made from the speeches and writings promulgated by the liberal party during the discussion of the Catholic question 1 How the wisdom and honesty of this party would shine were their confident predictions and solemn promises of that period contrasted with their base concessions or arrogant pretensions of the present day ! Where are the halcyon days which they foretold and promised ? Where the loyalty and satisfaction which were to overflow in every Catholic heart ? Where the resolute determination of the liberal conceding Protes tants that they would unite with their brethren of the reformed faith in stedfast resistance to every future attempt of Popish aggression ? In three short years gone to the limbs of vanities —gone where the present declarations of the Reformers, that they mean the Bill to be final, will in much less than the same space of time inevitably have followed them.—Morn. Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. W 0 R SHIP- STREE T. On Monday evening three prisoners, named Ann Williams, James Peake, and John. Satin, were brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. BROUGHTON, upon the following extraordinary charges of robbery : Inspector M‘Namus, of the Finsbury division, stated that, in consequence of being informed that a robbery had taken place on the 4th instant, at the house of Messrs. Vede and Verdure, No. 6, King street, Cheapside, from which blond lace and other property was carried off to a large amount, he had been • making every inquiry, so as to discover if the perpetrators were in his district. From information he had received, on Saturday last, that eleven per sons were secreted in a house in Baldwin-place, Baldwin-street, City-road, with fire-arms in their possession, lie proceeded thither with a body of men, and, having gained an entry into the house, he found only the three prisoners, whom he took into custody. The prisoner Peale, against whom he had another charge to prefer, for robbing a Mr. Careless, a jeweller, in whose employ he was on the 18th of November, was secreted in a coal-hole, covered over with a bed. Mr. Careless, the person ahovenamed, stated that the prisoner Peake had formerly been in his service, and that on the day mentioned lie walked off with a valuable gold . watch, a gold seal, a musical snuff-box, a time-piece, and a lady's gold neck chain, since which time he had not seen him, until the Inspector informed him he had a suspicious young man answering his description in custody. Inspector M‘Namus added that, on searching the female prisoner, Ann Williams, at the station-house, lie found the following letter, which the prisoner Peake snatched out of his hand and attempted co swallow, but witness prevented him:— " Wolverhampton, Dec. b. 41 DEAR ANN ♦ND JAM: - -This CODA with my beet respects to you both, as I t - 7ill find you boatli in good health, as it -•es it eery indifferent, as if James recollects wit befurt be came to London, toot was t - _tatter - He should not be at hall surprised me not aefore the thime, as I told Nina the timk was to :istnias, as, if I came before, it would be a data site worse, since Savin has come to London. Dear Hann, I hope you won't think any thing at me not riting before, as your letter was dated No vember 16. Mrs. Williams received the letter on Saturday the 19th. She missed the letter, and never found it until Saturday night, the 4th of December, and then she gave it to me. From day to day I have been making the strictest enquiry about the affair you sent about things. A little silver crucifix is not placed, and no gammon. It is a fixture on the altar of the communion that for any body thinking, to crack in that place, might just as well think of breaking into Newgate, as it consists of sky lights, and there is but one door to the chapel, and when any body goes through that door they have got to pass througk two other doors which is very strongly barred, as they al ways fasten the doors inside. Its the Bishop's house joins one end of the chapel ; there is a roade into the Bishop's house out of the chapel. There is two sleeping roams windows comes into the communion, and that is all the windows there is in the chappel besides those at the top. Its a thing impossible to think about getting into that place without being found out. Dear Ann, I met your mother in the market-place last Wednesday. She asked me about you. I told her as how I had seed you. She said she but not heard from you for twelve months. She bid me good morning, and I bid her the same, and that was all she said about you. Dear Hannah don't chaff me about having a wife Jane in Wolverhampton, nor a pal in Lon don. I know nothing about her, and nothing I want to In. Dear Hannah, I seed Jack Foster, and he told me he had seen you ; and that he bad seen Jacky Burke, who told itn a pretty tale about a thing or another done in Birmingham, but I will tell you all about it when I see you. Dear Hannah, I. often think about what passed be tween you and we. I shall never forget that. There was a -- pull in Birmingham before he started for London.
