SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. Cooper's cock-and-a-bull story of having heard of the burning of the two Houses of Parliament at Dudley on the night of their destruction, was, we believe, discredited by most reasonable minds before the local inquiry was instituted. First, it was clear, that if the story of Mr. Cooper was true, the fire must have been the work of an incendiary, and the incen diary must have loved gossip so much more than he feared hanging, as to have furnished a clue to disco very, by communicating to some other person or per sons the time fixed for the perpetration of the crime. There is in this at least a gross improbability. An incendiary must have had every motive for secrecy. But what inducement, it is asked, had Mr. Cooper to invent such a story? The answer is, that supposing Mr. Cooper to be a man of weak nerves, circum stances must have disposed him to favour the idea: of incendiarism. He was the stove-maker, and he or his partner had the superintendence of the flues. He was asked before the Council whether the flues could have borne the heat of burning the tallies—the accident had before been attributed to the flues ; the honour of his flues was concerned, and imagination may have helped out the conviction in his own mind that the fire could not have proceeded from his flues, but from the hands of an incendiary. We all know that the prepossession of an idea, especially where the interests are supposed to be concerned, works wonders in the fancy of persons of a certain temperament. Even where there is no motive to the pranks of the imagination, the instances of uncon scious falsehood would make a large collection. The class may be represented by the sailor who said he knew Captain Lemuel Gulliver very well, and that he lived at Deptford. When Sheridan spouted some sham Greek, in pretended continuation of a quotation from Demosthenes, delivered by the then Lord Bel grave, a member congratulated him on his readiness, and said the passage was to the point, though he did not recollect to have read it. A striking instance to the same effect, in which this journal was concerned, occurred not long ago. Upon something which was alleged to have been published in the Times there was much angry discussion in Parliament, and one of our correspondents claimed the merit of having communi cated the information or document which was said to have appeared. Strange to say, the subject-matter of all this strife had never been published by us. The notion that it had appeared was a match for Mr. Cooper's Dudley conversations, with all the circumstantialities of the boot-jack and slippers, and the delusion which so struck Mr. Cooper of the gentleman who fancied he had boots on, when they were in fact shoes. There is something exqui sitely characteristic in the impression which this blun der made on the dreamer, of things not having the degree of relation to truth which a boot has to a shoe. As all plots have their names, this should be called the Boot-jack-and-Slipper Plot ; or perhaps Cooper's Novels will be a more familiar description, and cer tainly the author has outdone his American namesake. Absurd as the story was on the face of it, the Council were bound to investigate it, but the method of pro ceeding seems to have been almost as strange as the tale itself. Instead of instantly instituting inquiries at the inn at Dudley,where Mr. Cooper heard the wonder of wonders, a chase after the guard of the Shrewsbury coach was suggested by a high authority as indispen sably necessary, and some time was lost in hunting him out. The logic of this appears to be highly curious. Mr. Cooper said he heard certain reports at Dudley on the 16th. "To ascertain whether he did hear those reports or not at an inn at Dudley on the 16th, let us find out whether he came up by the Shrewsbury coach the next day," says our England's Solomon. The second step of making the inquiries at Dudley seems to common minds rather more to the purpose, though the great inquisitor may have held with the saying that " the longest way about is the nearest way home." This train of examination would fur nish apt matter for a parody of John Gilpin's ride, and when next a certain great man examines a guard, our prayer is, may we be there to hear. The third step has what the lawyers call a colourable ground ; being, in fact, an elaborate examination as to the co lour of Mr. Cooper's supposed informant. Was his complexion black, brown, or yellow ? Was his stock black, white, or gray ? Was his coat claret or peach blossom ? Mr. Cooper seems to have been dumb founded by this extraordinary inquiry ; and indeed the learned examiner does not give us any insight into his particular object, though no doubt he had in his mind some philosophical connexion between colour and con flagration—between " flame-coloured taffeta" and blazing buildings. We dare say that the " Confusion Society" will throw some light upon this subject in a new edition, with additions, of the famous tract enti tled Experiments and Observations on the Inflection, ROection, and Colours of Light.—Times, When we stated a few days ago that it was to a commutation of taxes, rather than to a diminution in expenditure, that the country must look for relief, it was by no means meant, as an intelligent correspon dent supposes, that therefore no farther reduction in the expenditure of the country could be effected. That there is still room for the exercise of a judicious eco nomy we do not doubt ; but when it is recollected how small, in comparison with the revenue raised, is the whole sum on which even this economy can be exer cised, it will be evident that, of whatever reduction the expenses of our army, navy, civil list, &c., may be susceptible, the whole amount cannot be great, and, in comparison with the abolition of the restrictions on in dustry, and the lightening of the burdens which press on labour, would be hardly worthy of consideration. It should be borne in mind that in thus proposing the abolition of the taxes which press most heavily on the productive classes, we are advocating a measure which will confer an almost equal benefit on every person in the realm, be he an employer or one of the em ployed; for the taxes which are imposed on articles of necessity, such as malt, tea, coffee, sugar, &c., by enhancing the amount of wages,. raise the price of every thing which is produced in this kingdom; while on the other hand, by the abolition of any of these taxes, the consumer is benefited by the reduction in the wages of labour, and consequently in the fall of the price of all articles which are the result of such labour. We have placed at the head of the list of the articles which we consider thus injuriously taxed that of malt. It is one which enters more or less into the consump tion of every family in the kingdom ; though'we regret to observe that, in comparison with the increase of the population, its consumption has, in fact, decreased, and we can have no hesitation in attributing this strange state of things to the present high and oppres sive duties, which have, in too many instances, almost banished the article from the use of the poorer de scription of labourers. Merely to show how much the labourer alone is suffering from this tax, let us see what price lie is at present compelled to pay for his beer in consequence. The present price of the best barley is about 4s. per bushel ; so that, including all fair expenses, and with the present low price of hops, and allowing ten bushels of malt to the hogs head, a good and wholesome beer would be made for 22d. per quart, which generally throughout the country costs the purchaser 5d., and at too many places 6d, notwithstanding the introduction of the beer-shops ! !—and this price, be it remembered, is paid for a much inferior article ; so that the majority of the population are paying at least 100 per cent., in consequence of the duties, for what should be their daily beverage; and it is, we consider, no small ad ditional objection to this obnoxious tax, that it drives the labourers to the public-house or to the beer-shop, instead of allowing them, as formerly, to drink their beer at their own houses , where their wives and fami lies might obtain some portion. It will be found, we believe, on examination, that on the remaining arti cles of tea, sugar, and coffee, the labourer is taxed to nearly 100 per cent. also, and this in direct violation of Adam Smith's axiom, which is still recognised by all as one from which we should not deviate—viz., " That the subjects of every State ought to contribute towards the support of the Government as nearly as possible in proportion to their respective abllittes. That the above taxes fall indiscriminately on all ranks w e need not point out, and we are almost justified in asserting that the pressure is not according to the means pcosessed by each person to pay them, but almost in an euetly inverse proportion. But it does THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31:) 1834. providentially happen that such acts of injustice, though productive of much misery to the objects of them, seldom fail to recoil on the inflicters, as it does in the present instance, by raising the price of labour and the produce of labour. We have not space, how ever, further to pursue this part of the subject at pre sent, but we trust that we have shown that it is the interest of every one in the country that there should be a repeal of the malt tax. The Marquis of Chandos has, we are glad to see, pledged himself to bring this matter forward ; and let the manufacturer and the agriculturist understand that it is a question in which they are equally interested, and let some constituencies we could name remind their apparently forgetful repre sentatives of their undertakings 'and promises at the hustings with respect to this tax. Though we have chiefly confined our remarks to the abolition of the malt tax, we are of opinion that much more may and must be done. The exigencies of the country require that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should come for ward with some comprehensive, simple, and bold sys tem of finance—the ground-work of which should be, we unhesitatingly repeat, the abolition of all imposts on the necessaries of life of the productive classes. Nothing less than such a system, we are convinced, can relieve the country, and assuredly nothing less will or ought to satisfy it.—Morning Herald. The Privy Council yesterday concluded their exami nation into the facts connected with the statement of Mr. Cooper, that he heard at Dudley, on Thursday, the 16th, of the destruction by fire of the two houses of Parliament, which took place the same evening only a few hours before. The witnesses were examined at great length, and the most complete and convincing proof was obtained by their Lordships that Mr. Cooper had mistaken the day, and that he only re ceived the information on Friday morning, after the ar rival of the London mail at Dudley with the news. The information was so decisive as to satisfy every one ; and if ever there could be a doubt on the subject it is now removed. We hear from every quarter but one account of the respectability of Mr. Cooper, as to which, indeed, there can be no question ; but it is evi dent that he confounded Thursday with Friday, and the evening with the morning. The cause of the fire has been traced with a clearness and precision hardly ever known in any similar inquiry ; and with the fact of the burning of the tallies before us, it is superfluous to inquire further. The public may, no doubt, be well pardoned for expressing their surprise that an opera tion which so clearly accounts for the fire, should not have suggested the possibility of any such consequence b efo reh and.—Morning Chronicle. GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. THE POOR LAW AMENDMENT BILL. William Want, a pauper, appeared at the bar. The man seemed to be suffering from not having a sufficiency of food. Mr. Alexander, one of the overseers of Greenwich, told the Magistrates, that between seven and eight o'clock the preceding night, the unfortunate man came to his door and asked for relief. He said to him, that as he belonged to Saffron-hill parish, London, he could not do anything for him : he must first apply to the guardians and directors of the poor. Mr. Finch (the Magistrates' legal adviser), having al luded to the correspondence between the Lord Mayor and the Magistrates of Lambeth-street Police-office, said that there was a similarity in this man's case, who belonged to Saffron-hill parish. He had been to the overseers of that parish ; he had also been to the Magistrates at Hatton garden, who, in conformity with the new Act, told him that they could not do anything for him. Such was the poor fellow's statement. Chairman—Why do you not stop in your own parish ? Want—l have been to the overseer, and he turned me out. He told me that I might do my best and do my worst. I then went to Mr. Laing, at Hatton-garden, who stated that he had no power. Mr. Corbett, assistant overseer of Greenwich, said that the man did not belong to Greenwich ; that they had main tained him for a considerable time, but finding that he be longed to the parish of Saffron-hill, they entered an action against that parish for the expenses incurred by them for his maintenance. The cause was tried at Clerkenwell Sessions, the result of which was, that that parish had to pay the expenses, which they did, thus acknowledging the settlement to be there. The Chairman—We have enough of poor of our own to support. You have no business here. The question is, you must be sent to Maidstone gaol, where you have been before. lam afraid your conduct is not as it ought to be, I must commit you as a vagrant. Mr. Finch—Why do you not do in your own parish as you do here ? Why do you not lay at the door of the overseer ? You will then soon be heard by the Magis trate. Mr. Smith, the Magistrate, has relieved him repeatedly By Mr. Corbett—Want said that when he applied to the overseers they first gave him a truck to draw ; they then gave him a board to carry ; after that he was provided with half-a-crown, and told to go about his business. The Chairman—Why do you not go away ? Want—l cannot starve in the streets. _ _ Mr. Finch—The Magistrate has no power to help you. The Chairman—He must be discharged. Mr. Alexander—You ought to give us some security that we shall not be annoyed by him. Mr. Corbett would apply to the Board to-morrow to see what was to be done with him. The wretched man then left the office. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. THE POOR LAWS.—Yesterday an elderly woman ap peared for the purpose of complaining against the parish officers of St. Botolph's, Aldgate. Mr. Tyars (one of the Common Council of the Ward,) the Churchwarden, and the Overseers were in attendance. The Complainant stated that for some time the parish officers had allowed her half-a-crown a week towards the support of the illegitimate child of her daughter, who con tributed as much as she could from the small earnings of a servant to lighten the burden to the parish. The officers had, however, because, she supposed, the new Poor Law gave them the power to do as they pleased, determined not to give her a farthing henceforward. They were now act ing upon that principle. The LORD MAYOR-Cannot they lay hand upon the father of the child and make him contribute as lie ought ? Complainant—l have often told the beadle where the father worked, but there was no use in it. No notice was taken of what I said. My daughter gives all she can, but as she is in service and has no more than 91. a year, she can give very little assistance. The LORD MAYOR—Why have not the parish officers compelled the father to support his child ?—The beadle did not know where to find the man. Complainant—They never would touch him when they could find him, but I dare say there would be no difficulty if they would take the trouble. Mr. Tyars—We are willing, my Lord, to take the child under our care and to send it to Norwood to be nursed, but we cannot consent to make any allowance out of doors for its support, for we find that the mother is able to sup port it herself. The LORD MAYOR—Is the child able to walk? Com plainant—Almost, and . I can bring it up if they continue the half-crown a week. The LORD MAYOR (to the parish officers)—This child was not born under the new Act which so completely alters the humane system, and inflicts such rigorous punishment on poor creatures of the other sex, who are ruined by ours. You must continue the allowance, it is but a trifle. Mr. Tyars—God knows we do not wish to aggravate her punishment, but we are bound to act for the benefit of our parishioners, many of whom are extremely poor. It is too hard to press upon the poor industrious people who abound with us for the maintenance of bastards, when their own children are suffering privations ; and we have ascertained that the mother is able to support the child herself. The LORD MAYOR—If you want to lighten the expense upon your parishioners, you can't do it by taking the child into the house. The expense will be much greater. Mr. Tyars—That's not the point. lam convinced that out-of-door relief gives encouragement to bastardy. When the other course is tried the mothers take away their chil dren and support them themselves. In nineteen cases out of twenty, the mother turns up her nose at the workhouse. In fact, all they want is the pecuniary relief, which, except under very peculiar circumstances, they must not get. The LORD MAYOR—Mothers will do a great deal before they will consent to a separation from their children. They will, by the wise decree of nature, undergo the most severe afflictions and privations before they will submit to that ex tremity. What I reprobate in this proposal of the parish is that it goes to break up the intercourse between mother and child, and, of course, to interfere with the ties of affec tion. Under the care of the grandmother, the child will meet with no impediments to the growth of natural attach ment which must be smothered in a workhouse, and no body with a heart in his bosom could countenance such a violation. Mr. Tyars.—The children who are brought up by us at Norwood are taken the utmost care of. We are not chargeable with inhumanity. The LORD MAYOR.—I do not say that you are. I know you to be a very humane and worthy man ; but those whose nature is not so kindly need not look about in vain for something to sanction their want of feeling. Mr. Tyars.—We know perfectly well if this e'iild is sent to us it will very soon be taken away. We have the legitimate children of our parishioners there, and it is known that we do everything that ought to be done for thitm ; but the fact is those persons who have been in the habit of re ceiving money every week cannot bear the idea of giving it up, and the great inhumanity, in my opinion, consists in taking the hard earnings out of the pockets of the labour ing people, who are no burden to the parish to the encou ragement of bastardy. The LORD MAYOR.—What to take from its natural protector a child before it can talk or walk! That can't be law. God forbid that it ever should be law. It is my duty to inculcate obedience to every law, but if this be law I can't help saying that it is a law directly against huma nity. I trust that the parish officers will continue the as sistance to this female, and lay their hands upon the worth less father who has abandoned the poor child. Mr. Tyars assured the Lord Mayor that the case should have the most serious consideration of the parochial au thorities. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, John Goldsmith, the love-sick youth who stabbed himself, and was suspected of the design to assas sinate his sweetheart, Elizabeth Evans, the daughter of the lodge-keeper of Clifford's Inn, was brought up for re examination before Mr. Alderman PIRIE. No person appearing at half-past one to make any com plaint, it was supposed that Elizabeth did not intend to press the charge, and the prisoner was questioned, to ascertain whether he might safely be liberated. He denied that he had used any threat against Elizabeth's life ; and though Mr. Evans had said the only cause of what happened on Monday night was his disinclination to her going to the situation on Ludgate-hill, the truth was they had another little quarrel, and he threatened not to kill her but to kill himself in her presence, which made her cry and tell her father. When he was making up his mind to stab himself he did not think of what would become of him if he suc ceeded, but he had thought of that since, and that he was very foolish. He would faithfully promise to give Elizabeth no further anxiety, and to make no further attempt on his Own life. Mr. Alderman PuttE7dismissed him upon this under standing, and recommended him to be very thankful to Pro vidence that his life had been spared. As soon as he reached the outer efface a dreadful outcry and scuffle were heard. He met the father leading Eliza beth in, sobbing and half fainting, and he rushed towards her, perhaps to clasp her in his arms, but it was feared for some dreadful purpose. Elizabeth shrieked, and the by standers shouted, " Oh ! keep him off ;" and after a short struggle he was repulsed and placed at the bar. He turned pile and quivered, and when asked why he was so violent, he said, " How can I help it when I see her cry to ?" Elizabeth, who seemed to be about twenty years of age, without any unusual attractions, cried anew on being led up to give evidence. " You know, Betsy, I never said I would kill you," ob. served the prisoner, in an imploring manner. " I am not come here to say anything against you, John," said she, in a very kind tone. In reply to questions from the Court, she said, however, that he had repeatedly threatened her life, and that he would sooner kill her than see her become another's. Being asked if he was jealous, she only answered that he was very revengeful. She did not think she could depend on his word that he would not molest her. The prisoner had never harboured the thought of doing her any harm, and offered his solemn promise to behave well in future, but Elizabeth's father pressed for better se curity than his word, and— Mr. Alderman PIRIE, observing the state of excitement in which the prisoner was, deemed it his duty to commit him, in default of bail for his keeping the peace. BO W-STREET. On Tuesday evening, shortly before the usual hour for closing the office, Sir Charles Wolseley, Bart., of Wolseley Hall, Staffordshire, formerly so well known in the political world as connected with Major Cartwright, and other gen tlemen of the same political creed, came before Sir F. ROE, accompanied by a solicitor of Clement's Inn, and applied for a warrant against Signior Francesco Lovada, an Italian gentleman, at present at Long's Hotel, Bond-street, for hav ing endeavoured to provoke him to a breach of the peace, by threatening to horsewhip him. After a short conversation between Sir F. Roe, Sir Charles Wolseley, and the solicitor, Sir Frederick said, " Sit down, Sir Charles, for two minutes, and the office should be cleared." Each person was then, by the direc tion of the Chief Magistrate, asked if he or she had any business, and those who answered in the affirmative were heard and, with the rest, were desired to withdraw. Our reporter remained, although motioned towards the door by one of the officers. Sir Charles Wolseley then came forward to the bench, and being sworn, deposed that on that morning the defendant came to his (Sir C. Wolseley's). solicitor's chambers in Clement's Inn, where he then was, and produced a horse whip, with which he threatened to inflict personal chas tisement upon deponent, declaring that he had come all the way from Lausanne (as we understood) for the purpose of horsewhipping and disgracing him. Sir Charles added, that he believed these threats were used, for the purpose of exciting him to commit a breach of the peace, and that he had reason to apprehend personal violence from the de fendant. This deposition being read over and signed, a warrant was granted, and placed in the hands of Steven, the officer, who went yesterday morning to Long's Hotel, where he found the Signor at breakfast, and having politely informed him of the cause of his intrusion and showed his warrant, the Signor as politely ordered his cabriolet, and drove the officer to this office. On their arrival Mr. Halls, who was the sitting Magistrate, was informed by Mr. Burnaby of the circumstance, and the worthy Magistrate left the bench and went into the private room, where Sir C. Wolse ley was again sworn, and simply repeated that his deposi tion of Tuesday evening was true. The examination did not last more than ten minutes, and being by order strictly private, we are unable to state what, or whether any, answer was made to the charge by the de fendant., or what the original cause of dispute. might have been. The result, however, was, that Signor Lovada was ordered to find bail, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each, to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's sub jects,l and particularly towards Sir Charles Wolseley, for the ensuing twelve months. Bail was found in about an hour, and the Signor was liberated. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—A master chimney-sweep, named Wingod, living in Grosvenor-mews, attended yesterday be fore Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HALL, to claim as his ap prentice a little boy named Osborne, whose friends had got possession of him, and who refused to deliver him up on the following novel grounds : About three years ago the boy in question, then between eight and nine years of age, was found by a policeman wan dering about Pimlico, apparently in a state of destitution. The boy having stated that he had no friends in London, and that he had just come from Bath, his story, from the apparent artlessness with which he told it, was be lieved, and ultimately he was taken into the workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-square, and there maintained as a sort of foundling. The following year the boy was s?nt to Mr. Wingod's on liking, and, after having re mained for ten months, he was regularly bound appren tice by the parish. From that time up to within about six weeks of the present period, the boy continued to work at t1:41 business of a chimney-sweep, never once during that period saying or doing anything which would lead his master or others to infer that he knew anybody in London, or that he had ever lived elsewhere than in Bath. The boy having been accused about six weeks ago of a dishonest act lie ab sconded, and after some time his master succeeded in tracing him out, and to his extreme astonishment disco vered that the boy had returned to his friends, and that the story which he had invented with so much art was a com plete fabrication. The father of the boy, a respectable me chanic, refused to give him up, alledging his determination no longer to allow his son to follow the business of a sweep, and the question consequently arose whether the binding by the parish was good so as to enable the master to claim his apprentice. The father of the boy said about three years ago his son was sent with a shirt to some place, for which he was to re ceive three shillings. The boy never returned, and hand bills were immediately printed and circulated, offering a reward for intelligence respecting him, and containing a description of his age and person. The printer produced a copy of one of the bills, and a relative of the boy's swore that he stuck a number of them in different parts of the metropolis. Broomhead, one of the officers of St. George's parish, did not think that any steps had been taken on the part of the parish to discover if the boy had any friends in London, as his story was told with so much plausibility that it was readily believed. Mr. Wingod inquired if he could not claim the two years' maintenance of the boy from his friends. Mr. CHAMBERS thought he was entitled to some remu neration on that account, but as far as regarded his claim to the future services of the boy there was certainly an end to that. Mr. HALL concurred in this opinion, and recommended the indentures to remain uncancelled, because if the Bench cancelled them, it would have the effect of making them a legal instrument, and perhaps cause a question as to the boy's parish settlement. The indentures were given to Mr. Wingod, and the boy was given into the charge of his friends. CHARGE OF ROBBERY.--UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE. Thomas Edwards, a very respectable looking man, was charged with stealing a gold watch, the property of Thomas Horrell. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired for the prosecutor, when Mr. Abrahams, the inspector of the C division, stated lat it was all a " mistake," the gentleman had found his watch. Mr. CHAMBERS—A very awkward mistake. Abrahams—They had been having some liquor, and spending the evening together. Mr. CHAMBERS—Oh well, if you drink together nntil you lose your senses, you must take the consequence ; you must not mind each other's jokes ; they are very harmless sometimes. He heard of a man, who being under the ef fects of liquor, sold his friend, who was more drunk than himself, to an anatomist. The gentleman who had given the charge was very sorry ; he wished to make every apology ; he had afterwards found his watch . in his trowsers. Mr. Abrahams could not cancel the charge, as it had been once taken. Mr. CHAMBERS—Of course you could not. The gentleman was then discharged. MAR YLEB ONE. Henry Macey, an intelligent little boy, aged 12, was brought before Mr. Ravvlinson, by a policeman of the D Division, under the following circumstances : The constable, on the previous night, was asked by Mr. Brown, cowkeeper and dairyman, No. 51, Dorset-street, Manchester-square, to go to the Cross Keys-mews, Maryle bone-lane, and to take the boy whom he would find there to the station-house, as he had run away from home in conse quence of the ill-treatment he received from his mother, and he (Mr. Brown) thought the matter ought to be investi gated before a Magistrate. Witness accordingly acted as desired. The mother of the lad having been sent for, Mr. Brown rented apartments in his house. Her hus band was a courier, at present in Italy. She had five chil dren, and the boy then before the bench, on whom she exer cised the greatest cruelty, was the eldest of the male branches of the family. He was kept in a back room with scarcely any victuals, and no covering whatever with the ex ception of a cotton pinafore for a fortnight together, some times not so long, and very often turned out in that state to sit on the stairs for hours together ; the little sufferer was also very often severely beaten by its mother, and would creep down stairs of an evening and ask witness to give him somethit ' , to eat, as he had nothing all day. Witness had also seen him eating potatoe parings which he had taken out of the dust-hole. About three weeks back witness was alarmed by hearing the boy screaming in a most alarming manner, and on going up stairs into the room found him on the floor, bleeding profusely froni a wound on his face, his mother on the top of him, striking and kicking him in a violent manner. On seeing witness, however, she got up, and he then went down stairs and called in a police man, who refused to interfere, as he had not seen any thing of the affair, or heard any cries of murder. The boy had been absent from home since Saturday, only living upon witness's bounty, who told the policeman to act as above stated. . The boy corroborated Mr. Brown's statement, and added that his mother was in the frequent habit of kicking him, and taking him up by the legs and knocking his head against the wall. Here he exhibited his neck which was very much bruised, as likewise his face. Mrs. Macey declared that all Brown and her son had stated was false. Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing King, the parish officer (who was in attendance during the examination—l should wish you to take the boy into the workhouse, and tell the Directors and Guadians, who can further inquire into the case, and act as they think proper, or otherwise I will order the mother to find bail to keep the peace towards him. Mr. King should be glad if Mr. Brown would appear before the Board at the workhouse, on Friday, and state to them what he had now done, and in the meantime the boy would be taken into the house. . Mr. Brown would be happy to do so, and the parties left the office. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Thomas Barrett and William Cooper were brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with being en gaged in the manufacture of illicit spirits. The appearance of Barrett was laughable in the extreme, who, although dressed in fashionable style, was so much dis guised in consequence of the soot about his person in at tempting to make his escape up the chimney from the Ex cise officers, that he looked like a sweep. The defendants were fined 301. each, and in default of payment were committed for three months to Kingston gaol. In the course of the day a Dutch Jew, with his face stained all over with a deep blueish dye, entered the office in a state of agitation and out of breath. When he recovered in some degree he endeavoured to speak, but could not arti culate so as to be understood, all the time making the most laughable grimaces in his efforts to clear away the dye stuff from its near contiguity to his mouth and eyes. Another Jew, who accompanied him, seeing his friend at a loss for words, addressed the magistrates, and said that a trick called " sucking the monkey" had just been played off on Mister Gotlob, who was almost a stranger in this country. The magistrate perceived the man's face was covered with a blue dyestuff, or paint, and inquired what it was all about ? Gotlob, who by this time had recovered his breath, said, " Dey gat me down into de place ; I tink dey want to Buck me ; and when dey did get me down dis here is de vay dey sarve me out," pointing at the same time to his face, and wiping away a portion of the dye from his countenance with one end of his old clothes bag. The other Jew intimated that as his friend Mr. Gotlob could not speak English very fluently, he would speak for him. " You see de condition of Mr. Gotlob ;" continued the interpreter, " dis here is de case, your Vorship, he vas a cryin g ould coash along de street van he vas called into a house, and instead of giving him a bargain dey pulled him down against his vill and consent, and plaistered his face all over in de manner vich you see, and den sent him about his business." The magistrate said that Mr. Gotlob appeared as if he had been in the company of dyers, and inquired whether it was by persons of that trade such an extraordinary meta morphosis had been effected in his appearance ?

A female, of one of the aboriginal tribes in the Mur rumbidgee country, formed an attachment and coha bited with a convict named Tallboy, who, becoming a bushranger, was for a long time sought after by the police for the many atrocities he had committed, but always eluded pursuit. This female concealed him with true native ingenuity, and baffled his pursuers ; she would fish and hunt for him whilst he remained secluded in the retreat she chose. She often visited the stock-keepers' huts at the different stations, and whatever provision she received from them was imme diately conveyed to the unworthy object of her devoted attachment. Although many knew she was privy to his concealment, it was found impossible to elude her vigilance by following her and thus discovering his re treat ; she evaded all attempts, and seemed ever watch ful for his safety, probably knowing the fate that awaited him if taken. Neither promises of rewards— enough to excite the cupidity of any individual but one in whom a higher feeling was paramount—nor threats could induce her even to acknowledge she was acquainted with his place of concealment, much less betray it. It has occurred more than once, when there was a fear of discovery, that she has given voluntary information to the police of having seen him thirty or fifty miles distant, when in fact his place of conceal ment was in the immediate neighbourhood. The brute, however, manifested no kindred affection with this female, but would frequently beat and ill use her. Whilst she administered to him the refreshing cup of kindness, he bestowed on her misery in return. He had in one instance given way to his naturally brutish disposition by ill-treating the being who had done so much for him : when he was on the verge of discovery —indeed had himself given up all hopes of escape — she again saved him by engaging to point out to the his place of retreat, and led them a wa y under police that pretence in a contrary direction, affording her paramour both time and opportunity to seek out a safer asylum. When she arrived with the police at the spot where she had informed them he last was, he of course was not there, and a strict search in the im mediate vicinity was equally unsuccessful. She then left them to continue the pursuit after the criminal, pretending to know nothing further respecting him. At last he was captured by venturing out too boldly during; her absence, was t r i e d, con d emne d, a nd expiated his offences on the scaffold at Sydney.—Bennete s IVanderings in Mw South Wales. BEITH.—We are glad to have it in our power to announce, that after a severe visitation of six weeks, cholera has now disappeared. EXECUTION. Thursday, John Boyd suffered the extreme penalty of the law, at the place of execution, Greenock, for the murder of his wife on the 11th of July last. At the time of his condemnation he was very ignorant, and but little impressed with his melancholy condition ; but latterly, from the kind attention of the Clergy man, he was awakened to the awful nature of the con- dition in which he was placed. During the whole of Wednesday night he was engaged in religious exer cises, in which he was assisted by the Chaplain of the gaol ; and early in the morning he was waited on by the Rev. Mr. Sinclair, who administered that conso lation suited to his situation. He was also waited on by Dr. M'Farlane, shortly after whose arrival the pri soner was removed from his cell to the hall of the gaol, where the Rev. Dr. offered up a fervent and ap propriate prayer, in which Boyd seemed devoutly Co join. In the course of the morning Boyd stated, on being asked, that he was a native of Londonderry, and had been reared, under the care of decent and respect able parents, in the Protestant faith. He regretted that he had neglected their advice and counsels in after life. He had been thirteen years in Greenock, and during that period had never crossed a church door. He admitted the justice of his sentence. At the conclusion of his devotional exercises Dr. APFar lane shook hands with the prisoner, and bade him fare well, on which the latter gratefully acknowledged the obligations he lay under to him, and said, " God bless you, and when we meet again I hope it will be in Heaven." He was then conducted to the session- house, where be was pinioned, when he again returned his grateful thanks to the Magistrates, Clergymen, and others, for their great attention to him while in confinement, and hoped God would reward them for it. He then walked with much firmness and compo sure, as was his case throughout the whole morning, through the church to the scaffold, attended by Mr. Sinclair and the Magistrates. On reaching the plat form, and on the ordinary preparations being gone through, he bade farewell to Mr. Sinclair, and in a few moments the scene of his earthly career was fur ever closed.—Glasgow Herald. ACCOUNT OF AN EXPERIMENT TO ENABLE PERSONS TO BREATHE IN THICK SMOKE. In the area of the Lecture-room of the Mechanics' Institution, the walls alone cf which were at the time finished, a chamber was constructed of boards about fifteen feet high. A short ladder was placed in it so as to enable a person to reach the upper part, and two windows were inserted about four feet from the ground; a hearth of bricks supported the combustibles from which the smoke was to be obtained. Moist wood shavings, wet hay, two pounds of brimstone, and a shovel full of rosin, were set fire to, and the door was shut. In a few minutes the chamber seemed full of smoke ; on opening the door a quantity of the smoke flowed out, and in a few minutes the lower part of the room to the height of about two and a half feet was clear, while a dense cloud filled all above. The smoke was intensely suffocating, and produced violent cough ing on being inspired. The door being then shut, the cloud of smoke descended nearly to the floor, so that some firemen who had entered the chamber, were only enabled to remain there by crouching almost on their bellies. These preliminaries being made, more fuel was put on the fire, and Roberts (a poor collier, and inventor of the apparatus) with his apparatus on, entered the room walking erect. The temperature of the room was at this time 68 deg. F., that of the ex ternal air being 48 deg. In ten minutes the tempe rature had risen to 87 deg. in the upper part of the chamber. At 19 minutes the candle on the window board which had been burning very dim, went out. At 20 minutes the temperature was 91 deg.: at 22 minutes it was 104 deg. ; at 30 minutes the candle fell down in a melting state, the temperature being 115 deg. At 36 minutes Roberts came out of the chamber, having been for the last quarter of an hour on the ladder, in the upper part of the chamber, and quite invisible fi-om the density of the smoke ; when he came out he was, as might be expected, very hot, and his pulse was 174, but lie did not appear exhausted : he took some coffee, and in about half an hour his pulse had subsided to its ordinary state. The air, ex clusive of the smoke and sulphurous acid floating in it, differed from common air only in containing two per cent. more of carbonic acid and two per cent. of oxygen—thus showing that it was unfitted for respira tion only by the smoke and vapours floating in it. Another experiment was made : a noxious smoke and heat was increased until the thermometer rose, at the ceiling to 158--in the centre of the chamber to 101—and near the floor to 68 ; an indivi dual entered the apartment without the apparatus, but was immediately compelled to quit it, so great was his sense of suffocation. Roberts, however, traversed the room in an erect posture, and remained in upwards of half an hour ; he then left it, took off the apparatus, and had his pulse examined, which was at 160—it soon subsided, however, to its ordinary motion. The invention consists of a cap or hood of leather with two orifices filled up with strong glass or mica to see through ; the hood descends as low as the bottom of the neck, and is well wadded so as to be rendered air tight, or nearly so, when secured by the straps. From the nose is continued a flexible leather pipe, having a spiral wire inside to prevent it from being compressed. The pipe terminates in a trumpet-like piece of japanned tin plate, the open end of which is filled. up with moist sponge, and covered externally by a piece of coarse woollen cloth ; the pipe is secured to the lower part of the thigh by a strap and buckle, that it may not incommode the wearer by dangling about the room. By this arrangement all the air that is drawn in at each inspiration, passes through the pores first of the moist cloth, and then of the moist sponge. The consequence is that all the particles floating in the air are separated from it mechanically, and, at the same time, all those vapours, or gasses, that are in any con siderable degree absorbed by moisture, are separated by chemical action. The result of these conjoint ac tions is, that the air mingled with smoke, or sulphe roils acid vapour, is purified from these substances, and rendered respirable, provided the oxygenous por tion of the air has not been materially diminished. The first thing which suggested to Roberts the possibility of separating the respirable air from smoke and other vapours with which it may be charged, was the relief which he found from covering his lips and nostrils with the edge of his flannel shirt, while descending the shaft of a coal-pit to his daily occupation, in which shaft two fires were burning for the purpose of keeping up a current of air through the mine. He next tried the effect of wringing out a woollen jacket in water, and closely covering his face with it. The advantage was decided, both in excluding the smoke, and also in cooling the air. He afterwards tried a wet sponge with similar good effect. The invention or adoption of the hood naturally followed in his endeavour to com bine these advantages with the free use of his hands and eyes. For this invention the large silver medal of time Society of Arts, and the sum of 50 guineas, were presented to Mr. Roberts.

CHOLERA AT INvEßNEss.—Thursday four per sons died in Inverness of cholera, and there were that night and on Friday morning a few cases. It is, however, univer sally admitted that the disease is on the decrease, and that in general the cases are far from being so virulent or so fatal as in its early stages.—lnverness Journal. HORRORS OF EMIGRATION.—ACCOUnts have been received from Canada, which state that a numerous meeting had been held at Quebec for th e purpose o f address ing his Majesty to direct the adoption o f regu l a ti ons un der which emigration should in future be carried on. Loud corn plaints brought over from the United Kingdom, particularly from Ireland, as to the destitute and unhealthy condition of the emigrants, on their landing was attributed the increase which had taken place in the cholera morbus. The resolutions adopted at the meeting, st a t e d th a t f or th e sa f e ty of the colony, and the emigrants themselves, some regulations must be passed for the conveyance of settlers to Canada. The cholera morbus had during its visitations, carried off one-tenth of the whole population of Quebec and Montreal, and had thrown great ob stacles on commerce, and depreciated property. The imposi tion of an emigrant tax, it was hoped, would be continued, and a petition to his Majesty agreed to, to carry into effect, if pos sible, the object of the meeting. A number of settlers were at Grosse Island, in the most destitute state. The total arrivals of emigrants, up to the middle of last month, was 29,000. Up to the same period of last year 21,000 arrived.
