SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We, on Saturday, called the attention of our readers to the false and exaggerated statements of the Times, in its Thames-police report ; and we again revert to it, as it is evident that that journal is determined, against proof and conviction —or, " we thank thee, Jew, for that word," against the clear light of truth," to en deavour to mislead the public as to the operations of this Bill, as it did in the discussions which took place during the progress of this measure through both Houses of the Legislature. But facts are stubborn things, and we leave our readers to judge for them selves in the following statement : Rate-payer and Visitor of the Times Reporter. Parish of Ratcliffe. " The out-door relief is re- " Three poor widows, mi duced from 341. per week to 181. serably clad, were introduced into the justice-room —complained " Workouse capable of bolding that their small allowances, 3.50, contains only 230. which, with the labours of their own hands, enabled them to sup " Personally visited—S.

The operation of the new Bill only takes away from single and now irresponsible individuals, the indiscri minate application of the parochial funds in money relief to out-door able-bodied poor. Under the old law, nearly two millions a-year was expended in litiga tion as to claims, and removals to settlements to other parishes however remote, to which paupers were con veyed, but which were again abandoned as soon as their temporary wants or casualties were supplied. The necessity of such temporary and expensive re movals is obviated under the present Act, by which the overseer can give temporary relief in articles of absolute necessity, but not in money ; and whether the applicant be settled in the parish where he shall apply, or NOT ; and if the overseer shall refuse to give such relief, the MAGISTRATES may order such tem• porary relief. in articles of absolute necessity, but not in money. We have before pointed out the abuse to which money payments are subject ;—now let us hear what Lord Brougham says, in his speech on the second reading, in the House of Lords : LORD BROUGHAM'S SPEECH, JULY 21, 1834.—" First, then, we have a constant, and, I may say, almost a regular proof in every part of the country, in districts agricultural, manufacturing, and even commercial, whether the people are superabundaut, scarce, increasing, stationary, or diminishing in numbers, that able-bodied men prefer a small sum in idle ness to a larger in wages, attended with the condition of earning those wages by labour. We have in one place a young man saying, ' I have 3s. 6d. a week from the parish— Ido no work—l have no need to labour ; I would rather have my 3s. 6d. without working, than toil to get 10s. or 12s. a week.' This is not a singular instance. But are these per sons only idle ? Are they really doing nothing ? Do they receive their 3s. 6d. and remain inactive ? Do they work no mischief? My Lords, it is idle in me to put such questions These persons are making the parish pay 3s. 6d. a week out of the honest labourer's hard earnings, to maintain the con stant promoters of crime, the greatest workers of mischief in the country ; men who, when they happen not to be the ringleaders, are the ready accomplices and followers In every depredation and every outrage that is perpetrated in this neighbourhood. But those facts are not confined to the agricultural districts or inland places, and to lazy rustics. Look to the hardy sailor, who never used to know what danger was—look to the very boatmen on the Kentish coast—they who formerly would rush to a wreck, without looking to the waves any more than to the reward—who would encounter the most appalling perils to save a life with as much alacrity as they would dance round a May-pole, or run a cargo of smug gled goods in the midst of a tempest, or in the teeth of the preventive service--those men who, if you had said in former times, 4 Surely you do not mean to launch your boat at this tempestuous time of year?' would answer by instinct, Time of year 1 we take no count of seasons ; by our boats we live ; from the sea, in winter as in summer, we must seek our sustenance ; fair weather or foul, our vessels must be afloat, else how could we keep our families from the parish ?' No such answer will you get now. The same spirit of independence inflames them no more. ' We have 12s. a week from the parish,' say the Kentish sail ors—' we will go out no longer in winter—we will wait till summer and fair weather—we will live at home the while, for the parish fund provides us.' Comment upon such facts is use less. But the same classes now assume, that they who live upon the parish have a right to work not only as little as the independent labourer, but not to work so hard. They have in many places distinctly set up this claim ; and in one or two instances appeals have actually been made by the paupers against the overseers, upon the ground that the latter had at tempted, as they say, a thing till then unknown in these pa rishes— to make paupers work the same number of hours in the day as the independent labourers, who receive no parochial assistance.' These are things which almost force incredulity; but when we see them proved by evidence, which admits of no doubt, belief is extorted from us. Again, under the present law, all shame of begging is utterly banished. The pauper glories in his dependence—if, indeed, he does not consider the land as his own, and its nominal proprietor as his steward." The beneficial effects of this measure are, as we have seen, manifesting themselves in the parish of Ratcliffe, and will soon be developed by the Times in many others ; thus giving additional proofs of the wisdom of the Legislature in passing it. We shall soon again advert to this subject : in the meantime, it will be sa tisfactory to the public to know that the Commission ers and their Secretary (Mr. Chadwick) are earnestly endeavouring practically to prove that the well-merited eulogies of the Lord Chancellor were well bestowed. Since writing the above we have seen (which we ex tract) the following excellent observations in the Spec tator on this subject : " It appears that inquiry has been made into the circum stances of each case, and the result is stated in the Morning Chronicle. " The sawyer's widow is a young and healthy washerwoman living with her mother, and in no want of the necessaries of life. " The second believes that her husband died at sea ; but as she is young and healthy also, and is earning a livelihood by needlework, she is not in want of parish relief. " The third asked for relief, and was ordered to be admitted into the workhouse ; it turns out that she has a pension from the Trinity House, " From - the explanation it is evident that the public must be very cautious in crediting the stories of parochial cruelty which will be got up by the aid of penny-a-line eloquence."— Morning Chronicle. Entertaining the opinion which we have all along ex pressed upon the subject of th e P oor L aw A ct, w are not at all astonished at the disgust with which its first operations appeared to be received. Yet enough, we should have thought, had been said to have induced those who are interested in its success to soften down, as far as possible, the alleged harshness of its features ; in short, to have falsified, as far as in them lay, the untoward augury of its opponents. This might in some - measure have been effected, had the framers of the Bill possessed the good sense and discretion to have postponed the commencement of its operation till a period by which time the required machinery might have Jeen prepared and ready to be put in execution. The Commissioners' first and most important duty, for in stance, is to prepare rules and regulations for parish officers to act upon in lieu of the present system. Of course, such rules and regulations require much previous inquiry and thought, before they can be framed and brought into action. No wonder, then, that they are not yet forthcoming. Yet the Act, in all its features but one (that of the future removal of paupers to their places of settlements), came into operation on the day on which it was passed ; so that the protection of the old system is taken away, while the substitute provided by the new one, sorry as it is, is and must for some time be unprepared, and in abeyance. This is some thing like striking the shores from under a building, before the under-pinnings or f oun d a ti ons are comp l et. Unless there be, indeed, a fatality, a sort of Deus volt perdere, about this measure, which its opponents, of course, will not be inclined to regret, its immediate results might have been averted in either of two ways —the one, as we have already suggested, by the framers of the Act postponing its operation till its machinery was in a state to act ; the other, by parish officers taking upon themselves to mitigate its harshness, till they found their powers or intentions countemanded. This latter course might, we apprehend, still be adopted. No one who has prophesied evil from the Act can wish to see his prophecy fulfilled, or, at any rate, desire to be himself an instrument in inflicting it ; and until parish officers are told by the Commissioners what they are to do, what they ought to do—viz., to relieve un avoidable distress, is the point of the compass by which they should steer. In the mean time, as good not unfrequently arises out of evil, the Commissioners themselve s may take a useful lesson from what is now passing. Above all they may learn, that any regula tion which they m ay attempt to make, which has either for its object or effect the abrogation of the grand maxim of Christian charity, the relief of actual dis tress, will never be tolerated in a Christian community. Whatever else is done, this, at any rate, must not be attempted. The very surmise of such an effect, from the few incidents which have occurred, is sufficient to denote what will be the tide of public indignation should any such be the case. Let the Commissioners direct their rules to the great object of doing away with the abuses of the poor laws, and so far they will receive general suppo r t. B u t a l aw to put an en d to humanity will prove as unavailing as the stupid adula tion of Canute's courtiers in presuming to dictate bounds to the tide.—Morning Herald. The Bishop of London has published his charge to the clergy of the diocess at the last visitation. It treats of the dangers of the church, the malice of its enemies, and the necessity of seeking safety in redoubled zeal, in improved usefulness, and purity of example. " Let us see to it," says his Lordship, " each in his own case. Let us inquire of ourselves whether, when the Lord is manifestly dealing with us in the way of warn ing and correction, we are in our several stations la bouring in all things to approve ourselves as the ministers (ye God This, and nothing short of this, it is to give full proof of our ministry--a proof most open and palpable to the common apprehension of mankind, that we are indeed what we profess to be, ministers of a true and genuine branch of Christ's Holy Catholic Church, apostolical in our doctrine and our lives, as well as in our commission, and set apart from the mass of mankind, not more by our holy calling, than by the sanctity of our daily conversation, and our superior activity in every work and labour of love." Curiously enough it hap pens that the first thing which strikes the eye upon opening the publication is an advertisement of the new Poor Law, with explanatory notes, &c. ; and the first sentence in the address which follows a page so sug gestive of reflections on the misdirection of the prelate's recent labours, is as follows : " The interval of time which has elapsed since I first met you in the character of your diocesan, has been marked by the rapid growth or developement, of a spirit of innovation. I would not be understood to use the word in an invidious sense. but simply as denoting a bent and tendency towards change in almost all the component parts of the social fabric. It may be for good or for evil ; we trust that it may be overruled by Pro. vidence to good ; but whether for good or for evil, the spirit is gone forth into the world; and while we look with wonder, if not with dismay, at its past triumphs, it is impossible for us not to trace its progress with anxiety, and to watch its intents with something of apprehension, of not of alarm." Let him who is guileless throw the first stone. At the very time that this charge was delivered, was not a work of innovation in progress under the auspices and under the very hands of the Right Rev. Prelate him self ? and was it one of those works signalizing " supe rior activity in every labour of love ?" While the Bishop was preaching, what was he doing ? Making a grinding statute for the poor,—cutting off the crumbs that fall to Lazarus for the improvement of the estate of Dives ! While he raised his voice against the spirit of innovation, he was forwarding the innovation which avowedly mixes all possible gall and bitterness with the bread of poverty. While with the one hand he was struggling to protect the gauds and luxuries of 'the Church from reformation, with the other be was rendering up the poor's box as an offering to political economy. See him at the head of a commission for making less the little of the pauper, for adding to the shame of want, for aggravating the irksomeness of indigence, for making more grim and fearful the fea tures of poverty; and hear him in his pulpit admo nishing each in his own case to see that he is in his station " labouring in all things to approve himself a minister of God," and giving proof that he is set apart by " his superior activity in every work and labour of love." The Bishop is, as it were, taken " with the red hand." The poor are groaning under the work over which he has presided, while his mouth is giving out exhortations to charity and the spirit of Chris tianity. Here we mark one of the stumbling-blocks of the superior clergy, one of those temporal snares in the paths which should be spiritual, and only im pressed by the feet of those who preach the Gospel of Peace. When we see a Bloomfield in a poor law com mission, and a poor law debate steeling the heart with doctrines of expediency, and arguing for rigour to the poor and freedom to the libertine, can we wonder at the falling respect and authority of the Church ? And is it for him now to declaim against the spirit of innovation—for him who has been so principal an agent in spreading the terror of an innovation over the country—for him who has (in one sense) without shame and without reproach transferred to the weaker sex .the penalty of frailty, the whole burden of the child of sin ? Does the Bishop in his purple and his palace imagine that innovations have no alarms except for him and those of his interests ? May he not with out any very great stretch of sympathy suppose that the poor may say of the innovation he has been instru mental in producing, as he says of the spirit of change generally, " It may be for good or for evil, and while we look with wonder, if not with dismay, it is impos sible for us to trace its progress with anxiety, and to watch its intents with somewhat of apprehension if not of alarm I" As he trembles for his mitre, the wretched may tremble for their bread, or the bare support of existence. Seeing these things, seeing the Bishop play ing the first part in the -most important, the most unpo pular, the most distrusted and distateful change of the present century, he seems the very last man to rebuke the spirit of innovation, and to take measures for the safety of the church. Whatever danger he has found in the church, he has increased; whatever disaffection before existed he has exasperated by his unfortunate example. Such parts as he has lately acted cannot be without their impressions, and in prelates busy in worldly matters in the most worldly spirit, he might find one set of causes which have tended in no inconsiderable degree to the present jeopardy of the church. Having described the rapid growth or development of a spirit of innovation, the Bishop proceeds : " Of one thing we may be well assured, that to all those persons who are bent, not upon salutary changes and real im provements, but upon the utter subversion and removal of all the ancient landmarks of government and social order in this country, its established church must ever be an object of espe cial hostility, and a point of systematic attack ; for it is to the established church of this kingdom, to its scriptural doctrines and formularies, promulgated and exemplified by the active ministrations of its clergy, and by its decent and solemn ob servances, that we are to ascribe, under the Divine blessing, the general diffusion and maintenance of sound and healthy principles, and a recognition of moral obligation on the part both of those who govern, and those who are governed. The true peace and real prosperity of the country depend, not upon the multiplicity of minute legislative provisions, nor upon any economic regulations, however ingeniously devised, and how ever useful, as subsidiary aids ; but upon its Christianity : and its Christianity mainly depends upon the labours of its paro chial clergy." The Bishop does not perceive that his proposition cuts two ways. He says that to the established church is to be ascribed the general diffusion and main tenance of sound and healthy principles, but he has in the preceding paragraph deplored the rapid growth or developement of a dangerous spirit, which could not prevail if sound and healthy principles were generally diffused and maintained. The Bishop cannot at once have his growing evil spirit, and credit for the useful effects of the establishment. If the church has per formed its office as he describes, if it has generally dif fused and maintained sound and healthy principles, it is clear that it would have prevented a mischievous spirit of innovation from gaining ground. Consequently, the Bishop must give up one of his propositions, and must either admit that no evil spirit is to be dreaded, or that there are faults in the existing ecclesiastical system which have prevented it from working as an establishment should do, to the general diffusion and maintenance of sound healthy principles. If we are told that an establishment is productive of certain ex cellent effects, and, in the sume breath, a state of things incompatible with such effects is deplored, the necessary conclusion is, that there is some fault in the establishment which makes it miscarry of its design and proper operation. Giving it credit for the virtues claimed for it, we must look within it for the peccant causes which have counteracted its natural results, and allowed evil to spring up where good should predomi nate. The husbandman who applauds his system, must not at the same time wring his hands and lament that the tares are growing and developing to the destruc tion of the corn. If he do, we know one of two things, either that there is a fault in his husbandry, or he exaggerates the tares. 'We shall return to the charge, for in the short views of its author we see the worst dangers against which the church has to guard.—Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Wathant, who is employedby the Roches ter Oyster Company to assist at Billingsgate, was sum moned before the LORD MAYOR, on Saturday, for having violated the rules of Billingsgate-market, without which rules it would be quite impossible to keep the various per sons in the habit of transacting business there under proper controul. From the evidence of Mr. Goldham, the clerk of the market, it appeared that the defendant, although a person unable to write his own name, or even to read it when written, considered himself at liberty to direct the market arrangements. One of the most important directions in the markets was that the boats should not be fastened to the piles, but to appointed parts of the wharf, where they would be firmly attached, and without producing inconveni ence or doing mischief. The defendant, however, insisted upon fasteninr , the Rochester boats to the piles. Mr. Gold ham had no objection to the charges of the defendant, pro vided the payment was left to the option of those of whom the demands were made—but as the defendant had no le gal right to make any demand, it was rather too much to insist upon payment, and give to those who complied with the demand superior accommodation. His object was to esta blish impartiality, and he found it necessary to apply to the Lord Mayor in consequence of the usurped authority of the Rochester assistant. The LORD MAYOR—Does he suppose that because he is employed by the Rochester Company he is master of the market ? Mr. Flower (of the firm of Alderman Harmer and Co.) stated for the defendant, that his client did not attempt to usurp the authority of those who had a right to control the market, and that it would be ridiculous to ex pect the order which prevailed in other places to be ex tended to so well-known a haunt for the votaries of dis order. The defendant was obliged, in the absence of the clerk of the market, to act for the best for his employers ; and as the boats came in at all hours, Mr. Goldham could not be always at his post. Mr. Goldham said that he slept every night, except Sa turday night, in the market, within ten yards of the boats, and was ready at all hours to attend to the business. At one, two, and three o'clock in the morning, he was fre quently at work in administering to the public convenience, and he had recommended the defendant himself to the Ro chester Company ; but he had no idea of allowing that Com pany to be accommodated to the exclusion of others. The LORD MAYOR said, that with respect to the insi nuation of want of order in the market, the fact was, the determination to have order undisturbed was the cause of this complaint ; and as for the imputed absence of Mr. Goldham from his duty, there was not one of the Corpora tion who was not fully aware of the extraordinary exertions of that officer, and of the important improvements made by him. Mr. Goldham—Favour is shown in this person's case to those who pay him the fee he demands. Watham—Did you ever know me to get money unlaw fully ? Mr. Goldham—l consider it to be unlawful to make the demand. The LORD MAYOR—Most certainly it is ; you have no right to do any thing of the kind. Mr. Goldham—The rules are painted and exhibited at Billingsgate, and the defendant knows them as well as I dit, Mr. Flower—My client can't read. The LORD MAYOR—Then let him get somebody to read for him. We won't have his kind services as dock master, and if he again violates the rules, we shall certainly inflict a penalty. Saunders, a ticket-porter, requested that the Lord Mayor would be so kind as to help him out of a difficulty in which he was placed in consequence of the death of a jobbing porter of the same name, who used to be frequently about the Royal Exchange, caused by the furious driving of a cart in Cornhill. His house was visited by multitudes of persons, who, however well they might wish him, greatly embarrassed and annoyed him by calling, some to know whether it was true that he was dead, and others to know when the funeral was to take place. This inconvenience was occasioned by the mistake that the poor man who had been killed was a ticket-porter. The LORD MAYOR—Are not your friends satisfied when they see you, that you are alive ?—Saunders replied that some of them when they met him affected to think him dead, and started ; while others threw up their hands, and cried, " The Lord bless us, there's Tom Saunders's ghost!" —(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Then you may tell them that the Lord Mayor is of opinion that you are not by any means a dead man—( Laughter)—but if they refuse to take my authority upon the subject, I can't help it.—(Laughter.) THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1834. BO W- STREET. On Saturday Timothy Welch, an Irish labourer, was brought up on a warrant by the parish-officers of St. Cle ment Danes, charged with refusing to support his wife, who had in consequence become chargeable to that parish. Catherine Welch, the wife of the defendant, deposed that about five months previously the defendant had turned her and her child out of his lodgings, and had refused to support them ; she had since repeatedly applied to him, but without effect. She had lately been taken into the parish work house of St. Clement Danes, where she had been delivered of a child. Mr. Spencer, the overseer of St. Clement's, stated that the expenses incurred for the support, &c., of the defend ant's wife and children had amounted to 3/. 10s. 3d. On their being first admitted into the workhouse the defendant had agreed to pay 4s. weekly for their support. He had paid but 6s. 6d., however, and the present proceedings were in consequence instituted. The defendant declared he was unable to contribute any thing towards his wife's support. He was at present out of employment. Goodwin, the messenger to the parish, said that it was his own fault that he was unemployed. He had left an ex cellent place of work for the sake of joining the Union, and he had found bitter reasons to repent his folly, as he had had no work since. The defendant did not deny this statement, but repeated that it was out of his power to pay the amount demanded. He was willing, however, to pay a weekly stipend. Mr. Spencer, the overseer, was inclined to put faith in his promises, and at his instance the warrant was suspended. Mr. Alderman Copeland, of the firm of Copeland and Garrett, of Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, appeared to a summons obtained by William Everett, the contractor for the Pine-apple gate, Edgeware-road, charging him with evading the toll under the following circumstances : It appeared, from the evidence of Richard Welling, the collector at the above gate, that, on the Ist of the present month, a cart, bearing the name and address of the defen dant and his partner, drew up within ten yards of the gate. One of the porters who accompanied it, took from it * two large empty baskets, with which he proceeded to a house a few yards through the gate. After a short time he re appeared with the baskets, which were then full, and which he replaced in the cart. Witness informed him that he was committing an offence against the act by evading the toll, and demanded 3d. of him for the toll. He refused to pay it, however, and drove off. Mr. Copeland admitted that his servant had committed the offence complained of, but without his being aware that he was acting illegally. The carman was then called, who denied that the wit ness had demanded any toll of him, or had made use of any observation to him. Welling repeated his former statement, which he declared was true. Mr. MJNSHULL had no alternative but to convict. He should, therefore, fine the defendant in the penalty of . 10s., and 4s. 6d. costs. Mr. Copeland immediately paid the fine, and said he had to complain of the insolence and misbehaviour of the wit ness Welling on a second day, which should be the subject of proceedings elsewhere. Several other cases of Everett's were then disposed of. HATTON-GARDEN. On Saturday several licensed victuallers appeared at this office, at the suit of Byers the notorious informer, amongst whom Mr. Holnbrook, the proprietor of the Calthorpe Arms, Calthorpe-street, Gray's-inn-road, who, it was alleged by the informer, had suffered gaming at billiards and baga telle in his house. Mr. Nangle, clerk to Messrs. Harmer and Flower, at ,ended for the defendant. Byers, being sworn, was about to give his evidence, when Mr. Mallet, the clerk, said, I believe there has been no information laid in this case—has there been ? Byers—No, sir ; it is not necessary. Mr. Nangle—But it is. I was about to make that objec tion, but you have saved me the trouble. The case must fail, your Worships. Byers—l have brought forward cases at other police offices of the same kind, and they do not require an infor mation to be laid. Mr. Mallet—lt is the rule at this office. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—And the proper rule.By not lay ing an information, you deprive the party charged of pro curing proper assistance. Mr. ROGERS—That is not the case here. He has legal assistance in Court. Byers—l can only say, your Worships, that I always get summonses without difficulty at every other office without laying an information. Mr. Nangle—lt is the standing rule at this office, and the Magistrates, no doubt, will adhere to it. Mr. ROGERS—Byers must have known that to be the rule of the establishment, and he ought to have laid the in formation. Byers—l thought that as other offices did not require it, you would dispense with it here. Mr. ROGERS—Certainly not ; we are not to guided by what they do at other offices, and if we deviate from our rule now, and take the case, you are not to come here again at any future period and remind us of it as a precedent. Mr. Mallet—lf your worships postpone the case, the in former may lay an information on the same case. Mr. Nangle said that he was perfectly willing to enter into the case at once, but he would not interfere with the rules of the establishment. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—I do not like to deviate from the usual practice of the court. The informer ought to have exhited his information in the usual way, and give the de fendant a fair opportunity of defending himself, and not take hi m o ff hi s guar d . - I shall not hear the case without the usual practice is adhered to. Mr. ROGERS concurred with Mr. Sergeant SELLON, and said it was better to keep to their established rules. Byers then quitted the office, " quite chop-fallen." MARYLEBONE. On Saturday a poor emaciated being, who gave his name Parker, applied to the sitting Magistrates for relief. The applicant, who seemed ready to drop from exhaustion, stated that he had once been a respectable tradesman in Marylebone, but had become reduced by misfortunes. A short time ago he broke his right arm in two places, so that he was now totally unable to work. When he applied to the parish authorities for relief, he was sent to the sur geon, who reported him fit to work. It was in vain that he represented the weakness of his arm, and therefore he was supplied with a ticket to,break stones, which, of course, he was unable to do, and all relief was withheld. The MAGISTRATES told the poor fellow that they had no power to interfere. Several other miserable-looking creatures made similar applications, and met with the same answer ; the Magis trates observing that they could only order temporary relief in food or medicine. Q UEEN- SQUARE. The man Hill, who has for some days been in custody on a charge of committing various depredations at St. James's Palace, while in the capacity of assistant table-de corator, was on Saturday morning re-examined : and the evidence against him being deemed sufficiently strong to send him for trial, he was fully committed. A flying pieman, named John King, was charged with assaulting Mr. C. Mackintosh, a surgeon, from the country, under the following circumstances appeared that be tween two and three o'clock in the morning, the complainant and his brother were returning home, when passing down King Street, Westminster, they were accosted by the pie man, who urged them to purchase some of his penny mut ton-pies, which, he assured them, were made of the finest mutton in London. The savoury repast was politely de clined, and they passed on. The pieman, however, who had been partaking pretty freely of some of Hodges's best, was not going to lose a customer so easily, and he followed them with his pies as far as Westminster Abbey, expatiating on the excellent qualities of his mutton pies ; but it was all in rain—and finding that his eloquence was thrown away, he commenced a volley of abuse. No notice was taken of this, and at last the pieman struck the complainant a blow on the mouth which cut his lip open. A policeman came up, who took him into custody, mutton pies and all. " Please your Vortship," said the pieman, " this here is a very hard case. I jist civilly axes these gemmen to buy one of my mutton pies, when they says to me, " Are they bow-wow pies ?" " Hell and d n," says I, " what do you mean by that ?" and says they to me, " Vy, there vas a pieman before the Lord Alayor the other day, and it was proved that all the mutton pies sold in Lunnun streets were made of cats and dogs. Here was my kracter gone at once." Mr. Mackintosh said that this was quite a new defence, for at the station-house, as an excuse for his conduct, the prisoner said that himself and brother had been drinking with him, and that they had eaten a quantity of his mutton pies, which they refused to pay for. The impudence of the accusation annoyed him more than anything else ; for he was ready to swear that he would not eat one of the pies for ten sovereigns. The smell of them was quite enough for him, and he used his utmost endeavours to get out of the way. Pieman.-111 make an affidavy the pies are made of the very best Southdown mutton ; its worry hard that 'cause there be some bow-wow muttoners about the streets that these gemmen are to pick me out, and call me a bow-wow dealer. The Magistrate fined the pieman 205., and in default o: payment he was sent to prison for 14 days. LAMBETH.- STREET. George Walden, a ragged old man, who stated that he had a wife and five children, was charged with having vio lated the person of Elizabeth Jones, aged 69. The complainant stated that on Thursday night she lost an order which the overseers of St. Trinity, Minories, had given her for admission into the farmhouse for paupers in Stepney-green. She happened to meet with the prisoner, whom she asked if he could direct her to a lodging for the night. He then took her to an uninhabited house, where he committed the offence with which he was charged. She screamed " murder," and her cries brought the assistance of the police. The prisoner did not deny what had taken place, but said it was with the prosecutrix's consent, and that she had screamed only in consequence of his having no money to give her. The prosecutrix denied this statement. It appeared that she was a notorios drunkard, and the Magistrates, therefore, despairing of any conviction, dis charged the prisoner with an admonition. THAMES POLICE. On Saturday Captain Hodnett, of the Julia West India man, was charged with assaulting John Ellis, on the 6th of August. The complainant stated that he was steering the ship one squally night, when the Captain told him he was steering wrong, and struck him with the dog-vane-staff "upon the head. He fell upon the deck, when the Captain struck him several times. Captain Hodnett said the defendant steered the ship so badly, as to endanger its safety. He was sensible of the bad steering by the rolling of the ship as he lay in bed. He was held to bail to answer the charge at the sessions. EVADING EXCISE DUTY.-EXTENSIVE SEIZURE. A great sensation has been excited, more especially among those connected with the distillation of spirits, in consequence of the Excise having recently made an exten sive seizure at an eminent distiller's in the vicinity of the metropolis. The circumstances which brought about detec tion, and the manner in which the seizure was made, have been variously reported among the inhabitants residing in the immediate vicinity of the establishment ; but from in formation derived from other sources, they appear to be nearly as follow :--It is perhaps well known that distillers are obliged to give notice to the Excise, whenever they may deem it necessary t o manu f ac t ure sp i r i ts , an d an officer is appointed to watch the process of distillation, in order to protect the revenue. The premises during these particular occasions are considered, to use a technical phrase, in the possession of th e E xc i se, an d the officer from the Board, on leaving the establishment for the night, places the apparatus, &c. under the Government seal, to break which is felony. An Excise officer was consequently called upon to perform the necessary functions of his situation at the distillery al luded to, and for a length of time all went on apparently satisfactory, until a short time since, when, from private infor mation, a suspicion was entertained that the stills were clan destinely worked. The officers were therefore determined to effect an entrance privately at a time when it was con sidered the parties were illegally pursuing their avocation. This was carried into effect a few nights since by armed men proceeding to the roof of that part of the premises where the distillation is carried on, and pouncing upon the violators of the laws by letting themselves down through a skylight. Considerable consternation, as may be supposed wa s the result ; but one man, almost instantly regaining his se lf-possession, was about to thwart the exertions of the officers by " letting off" the spirit, and was only prevented resorting to the apparatus, peculiarly adapted to that pur pose, by being threatened with the contents of a pistol at his head. It was then discovered that, among the ramifi cations, a secret pipe had been ingeniously introdu ce d, from which a great quantity of spirit found its way into a vat either never deemed necessary to be visited by the E xc ise officer, or which he knew nothing at all about. All the spirit on the premises, amounting to about 12,000 gal lons, together with the manufacturing property, were instantly seized, and the officers took the usual necessary precau ti o ns to prevent the r emova l o f any portion of the ,siel%th'tehiNar e e' what fft g a i ivre,n by yo success oi understand, sffenroi nt offering y teot ex tensive property. The fir tm m wi The property seiz e d h as, h owever, it is said, since klpianayvoewanepn. e d n e a a l v t o y u o re f d 2o t , o oo c o om i., p b r u o been allowed by the Excise to be taken in bond, the firm giving security for the payment of the duty on the spirit to the amount of about 10,0001. If t h e part i es should be ex chequered the penalties sought to be recovered, we hear, amount to about 50,0001. DUTIES OF A CABINET MINISTER.—MuIIer was one of the few instances of a married man permitted to hold the situation. " I propos e to you," said the king to him, to immolate yourself to the service of the state. Consider well whether you have the courage to do so. I had resolved never to employ a married man m my cabinet, and I know that you have a wife and children ; it is therefore an exception to a very important rule, th at I d etermine myself to ma k e i n your favour. Idoit in consequence of the particular esteem I have for you, and of the firm hope I entertain that your wife and your children will never approach the room where you write, that they will know nothing, and will not meddle with any affairs. In a word, you will never forget that, for the good of m y service, you must neither have family, nor relations, nor friends !"—Lord Dover's Life of Frederick the Great. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 13.—Rear-Admiral Sir Graham Eden Hamond, Bart., K. C. 8., is appointed to succeed to the South American command, vacant by the death of Sir Michael Sey mour, Bart., K. C. B. Rear-Admiral Patrick Campbell, C. 8., sailed on Wednes day in the Thalia, 46, Captain Wauchope, for the Western African command. The Tribune frigate (razee), Captain Tomkinson, arrived from Chatham this afternoon. She is destined to the East Indies, to relieve either the Curacoa or Magicienne. IN HARBOUR.---ViCtOry, Royal George, Excellent, Medea, /Etna, Pantaloon, Speedy, and Raven. AT SPITHEAD.—Tiibune. The Zebra, 16, Commander R. M'Crea, is daily expected here from Chatham. She is destined for the Cape and West Coast of Africa. The Buckinghamshire, for Bombay, with the Governor, the Right Hon. Sir Robt. Grant, and family, sailed on Sun day ; the Duke of Argyle, for the Cape, Madras, and Ben gal, on Monday ; the Mary Ann, for Madras, on Thursday ; and the Madras, for Madras, yesterday. The Orient, for Bengal, and the Lady Flora for Madras and Bengal, which arrived this day, will sail on Monday, after embarking stock and passengers. The Waterloo, from Calcutta, passed by yesterday for the River. The Portuguese schooner Duqueza di Braganza was cap tured near St. Sebastian's, .on the 16th of June, by the Satel lite, Captain Smart, with 577 slaves on board. The ships at this port ( Asia and Bellerophon), and those at Chatham and Plymouth, which were sometime since put into a preparatory state of equipment, are now ordered to be re stored to a state of Ordinary for the winter, by getting the topgallant masts and yards upon deck, striking topmasts, and lowering the yards down to the gunwhales. The expec tation that these ships would become necessary as a reinforce ment to our squadron in the Mediterranean has evidently ceased. On Monday his Majesty's ship Dublin, 50, Captain Lord J. Townshend, arrived from being second in command in South America, in which Lord James was relieved by Com modore Mason, C. 8., in the Blonde, 46, which ship left Rio again on the 25th of June for the Pacific. The Dublin brought to England one million and a half of dollars, all on merchants' account, one million of which was transhipped from the Samarang from the Mexico. She left Callao on the 27th of April, and arrived at Valparaiso in twelve days, from which period, until the sth of J une , s h e was waiting for the arrival of provisions from Rio. The ships left in the Pacific were—The Challenger frigate, Captain Michael Seymour, at Lima ; the Conway, 28, Captain Eden, at Islay ; Samarang, 28, Captain C. Paget, at Guyaquil. The Samarang was ap pointed to leave the station for England on the Ist of October, when she will be relieved by the North Star, 28, Capt. Vernon Harcourt. The Dublin left the Pacific ( Coquimbo) on the 11th of June, and arrived at Rio on the 20th July, in thirty nine days. She brought round from Valparaiso the murderers and accessaries of the first English party who took possession of the Falkland Islands, they having delivered themselves up to Governor (Lieutenant) Smith, whose party was in quiet possession of the Island. There was no reason to apprehend any similar surprise ; but the island would shortly become of that convenient resort which was originally contemplated. The Sparrowhawk, 18, Capt. Pearson, left Rio on the Bth of July, to relieve the Rapid there ; the Snake, 18, Capt. Robert son, sailed on the same day for the northern ports of Brazil ; the Satellite, 18, Capt. R. Smart, K. H., was to leave Rio on the 27th July for the Pacific ,with the account of the Commander in-Chief's ( Sir M. Seymour) death. His Majesty's ship the Spartiate, 74, Captain Tait, was left at Rio. The Dublin left Rio on the 25th July, and having had a passage of forty-four days to Spithead, and landed her treasure, she sailed on Thursday for Plymouth, to be paid off. The Dublin brought passengers—Mr. and Mrs. Robins, from Lima; Mr. H. M'Cullock, late of Lima; Dr. Stevens, and the Boatswain of the Sparrowhawk ; Mr. Palmer, late mate of the Blonde; and fourteen invalids from the squadron. The only ship she spoke was in lat. 40, long. 32. 44, August 30, the Cabinet, out 35 days, bound to Boston. APPOINTMENTS.—Lieut. Hon. E. Plunkett to the Castor, vice M‘Cleverty; Lieut.

The following Mates passed their examination for the rank of Lieutenant at the Royal Naval College on Tuesday last : Messrs. James A. Hodgkin Robert D. Stupart, Al exan d er W. Denmark, Edward Little, Frederick W. C. Hickey, Dublin ; Edward F. Roberts and Frederick Holland, late Actaeon ; Brook Young, late Revenge ; Effendi Fiezullo (an Egyptian), late Vernon ; Stephen Bradley, late Alfred ; Al fred Young, late Sapphire ; William M. Wellington Douglas, Thalia. Captain T. L. Peake, Commander Sherwin, and Major Longmore, are appointed Stipendiary Magistrates at the Cape of Good Hope ; and Lieutenant W. B. Strugnell at Trinidad.

Henderson, for Lisbon ; Orestes, 18, Commander Codrington, for the Me diterranean ; Algerine, 10, Lieutenant Stovin, for the Cape of Good Hope ; and the Jupiter, Mr. R. Easto, Commander, for Dublin, with the detachments mentioned last week. The Castor, 36, Lord John Hay, is ordered to the north coast of Spain. The Lords of the Admiralty (who arrived on Satur day in the Firebrand) are pursuing their inquiries with zeal and diligence, their object evidently being to put every branch of that characteristic arm of our strength, the naval service, upon the most respectable and efficient foundation, with the least possible expense to the public, carefully avoiding any act of injustice, or even unkindness, to meritorious servants in their pursuit. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) It appears that the business done at the two fairs of Frank fort-on-the-Oder and Brunswick has been satisfactory. The trade of Leeds is interested in them for stuff goods and low woollens, which, consequently, as far as these markets are concerned, may be reasonably expected to enjoy a fair demand for the ensuing season. It must, however, be observed, that in consequence of the high prices, and the uncertainty which prevailed as the effect of the extension of the Prussian com mercial league, the supply this year has been very limited, perhaps, not more than half of former years. The cloths sold at these fairs are supplied by German, Belgian, and French manufacturers, to the exclusion of England. The quantity of goods belenging to the union brought to the Prussian fair of Frankfort-on-the- Oder has greatly increased in comparison with last year, whilst on the other hand " a smaller portion has been sent into Bohemia, Mecklenburg, Brunswick, and Han over," countries out of the union, and the three last in close commercial connection with England. This is naturally to be expected ` and the result may serve to moderate the excessive alarm respecting injury to our trade which prevailed when this extension of the Prussian league was first made public. LEEDS.—The sales in both the Cloth Halls on Saturday were lively ; on Tuesday much business was done, but the supply of goods was not so great. In the warehouses there is considerable activity. BRADFORD.—The ordinary quantity of business was done in the Piece Market on Thursday. Wool still keeps up, and the manufacturers buy as little as they can do with, for the mer chants act upon the same principle by the manufactured goods. HALIFAX MARKET was rather better on Saturday. The price of wool prevents trade springing upward. HUDDERSFIELD.--The supply of cloths on Tuesday very limited, and not much business transacted. DEWSBURY.—Business is not improved, owing to the high prices of wools. The blanket trade at Earlsheaton, which is generally busy at this season of the year, is flat; makers can not get an adequate return. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, SEPT. B.—This day's mar ket was well attended by buyers, which caused a very brisk demand for all descriptions and qualities of flannels. There were no goods left unsold. Prices the same as last week. A frightful event has recently occurred on board the frigate Atalante, in the Martinique Roads. The son of General a pupil of the second class, quarrelled with a fellow pupil, the only son of M. G----, the Captain of the ship. Admiral Mackau ordered him under an arrest, thinking thereby to prevent a duel. Notwithstanding this, they contrived to fight with pistols, and the Captain's son was shot dead. The unhappy father, who was at Paris, having just returned from a maritime inspection, on hearing the fatal tidings of his son set out for Brest to acquaint his wife of the melancholy event. ACCIDENT TO A STEAM OMNIBUS.—An un pleasant accident, though not a dangerous one, occurred. on Saturday afternoon to Mr. Hancock's steam omnibus, " The Era," as he was conducting it through Finsbury-square, on the way between the City and Paddington, with a load of pas sengers. It was caused by the breaking of some part of the machinery, in consequence of which the passengers were obliged to alight, and Mr. Hancock, having apologised to them for his inability to carry them through to the completion of their journey by steam on that occasion, obtained horses, which were put to the carriage, and returned with it to his place in the City-road. The drivers of the regular omnibuses indulged in a horse-laugh as they passed at the temporary triumph of animal power over steam. DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO A LADY BY FIRE. —Saturday morning between one and two o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to Mrs. Diana Roebuck, a lady upwards of seventy years of age, residing with her daughter-in-law in Upper Berkeley-street, Bryanstone-square. She was accus tomed to read in her bedroom after the other inmates had re tired to rest. On Saturday morning the Servant, who slept in an adjoining room, was alarmed by the screams of her mis tress, and on entering her room, she was shocked to see her standing up enveloped in flames, and vainly endeavouring to extinguish them. The servant threw the hearth-rug round the unfortunate lady, and thereby extinguished the fire ; but her neck, arms, and body were burned in a most shocking manner. Very faint hopes are entertained of her recovery. It is supposed she fell asleep over her book, when her clothes came in contact with the candle. THEATRICALS. Of the opening of Drury-Lane nothing certain has yet transpired, but it is probable by the beginning of next m onth. Lord Byron's Manfred, it is thought, will soon be brought ,forward. Mr. Vandenhoff will appear in that character. Covent-Garden is spoken of as likely to open on then 2d e and various novelties are sa id t o be on the tapir =on first to be brought out w ill b e Pl a n c he ehe version of The i ravo, f which was to have been p ro d uce d a t the latter end of last season : The Adelphi opens the 22d instant, with a rege nerated corps dramatique, and a very great accession of stag e room, as the alterations now making in that depart me nt will be th en completed. The re-opening of the Victoria will take pl a ce on the 29th instant, after having undergone most extensive alterations in the interior ; the most material of which are an entirely new ceiling, from which will be suspended eighteen chandeliers on a new principle ; the stupendous glass curtain will be re stored ; and the first circle of boxes will be divided by a lobby, making a double row of boxes, the admission to whic h for the front will be 45., to the back 3s. To the second tie r and Cts the price will be 25., and besides a separate entrance to t 0 circle a ivate way has been contrived from it to the Ps that visitors to either may ascend or descend as suit their COn, • venience or pleasure. The exterior also will partake of s ° l embellishment. GERMAN PAPERS. LUBECK, SEPT. 2.—The detachment of the Prussiaa. army going to attend the consecration of the mo nument of the Emperor Alexander at St. Petersburgh left this , place on the 26th, on board the Alexandria steam-boat, and would probably reach Cronstadt on the 30th, at the latest: STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 2.—Our squadron put to sea again on the 24th of August. There were four men sick on board According to the official accounts there have been here, up to to-day, 595 cases of cholera ;99 have recovered ; th e deaths are 250. It is said that Captain Lindeberg's fate is decided. Th, sentence of death passed by the Supreme Court is mitigate" by his Majesty's clemency to three years' imprisonment. e BERLIN, SEPT. 6.—His Majesty the King was to leas " Konigsberg on the 4th, and go by way of Elbing and M a rienburg to Stangard. The festivities in Konigsberg were very brilliant, and testified the unalterable affection of the Prussians for their revered religion. Prince William, his Majesty's son, embarked at Pillo on the Ist of August, on board the Ischord steam-boat, for St. Petersburg. Prince Adalbert is travelling in the interior of Russia' and was on the 17th ult. at Tever.
