sion of divine truth, are enemies of Conservatism, and may alone count, on the hostility of the Conservative party. The Duke of Wellington is only the idol of the Conservatives so long as he fights their battles ; for, as was honestly avowed by Mr. Dun das at the Ipswich dinner, " they were not called upon to decide on the personal merits of Whigs and Tories —they were not called upon to decide whether the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, or Lord Melbourne was the best person to conduct the Government of the country ; but they were called upon to decide whether the institutions of the country were to stand or fall." Every one knows what Conservatives mean by " insti tutions of the country," and by " rallying round the altar and the throne." The boroughmongers strug gled for the institutions of the country. They lost Old Sarum and Gatton—they have lost ten Bishopricks in Ireland ; but much still remains, and for this they are ready to struggle. The Times, of course, protests that the Conservatives are destroying the embryo Government, and calls lustily on the Conservatives to fight under new colours. "It is a false way (exclaims that journal) of defending the Duke of Wellington, to allege that lie is blind to the abuses of the Church of Ireland." But whether blind or not, he must seem blind to them. The Duke was brought in to " make a stand" for the abuses of the Church ; and he must keep to his bar gain. We are glad to find the question stated in such a way as to leave no room for mistake. The people know what they have to expect from a Conservative Government ; and having the means at their com mand, they would deserve their fate if they did not give no quarter to the Duke. But we will not libel te people by supposing it possible that they will sup port a bitter enemy of Reform, and place themselves again under the yoke of Tories and High Churchmen. The Duke's Ministry will be of short duration ; and Reform will have gained greatly by the abortive at tempt to counteract it.—Morning Chronicle. We har'sq the pleasure of knowing that several fresh adhesions to tbfl King's Government have been de clared within the last twenty-four hours, some of which as we yesterday anticipated, will afford most powerful and striking plods of that manly and constitutional feeling by which those are actuated who conscientiously combine to preserve the country from the sacrilegious hands of the infuriated anarchists by whom her most sacred institutions are assailed. It is impossible not to recur to his Majesty's reply to the Common Council. We there find embodied in a short, powerful, and pithy sentence all that the country is anxious to ascer tain. The King himself is pleased to renew the de claration that he is desirous of the reform of existing abuses. With an anxiety to carry into effect the prin ciples which he avows, he tells us also that he hopes the Ministers whom he may call to power will justify his expectations and satisfy his people. We say upon this, as we have said over and over again before, the Whigs themselves—the honest, conscientious, conservative Whigs—have set the country an example of political conduct, by holding office only so long as their colleagues busied them selves in correcting what really might be termed abuses. The moment they perceived that the principles of the Destructive party were predominating in the Council they withdrew ; and if we were now to chalk out a line upon which the new Ministry should move, we would say let them take Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham as their examples--men who are earnest in the cause of rational reform—men who have stakes in the country to guarantee the sincerity of their prin ciples—men whose abilities enable them to see and ap preciate the dangers of the experimental school of po litics, and who had the good sense and good feeling to stop at a given point, beyond which, even to ruin and destruction, their plebeian successors would blindly, viciously, and stupidly have rushed with reckless desperation, preserving nothing except their own paltry popularity with the revolutionary faction, who, nevertheless, lord it over them, praising them one day, and pelting them another, demanding pledges, and holding them in subjec tion—the mere delegates of a party mob instead of being the free and independent Representatives of the British people. And yet—even after the public and disgraceful squabblings of the Cabinet Ministers at the Edinburgh dinner—after what everybody knows to be the fact—we are still told that there was no dissension in the Cabinet, and now we see that Lord Melbourne (the persecuted victim of his late hungry colleagues) has thought it necessary to make speech number two to his admirers in the country, in order to repeat the assertions which other people have made upon this point ; and to infer that he and his friends have been shamefully treated by his Majesty, in the teeth of his Lordship's own declaration, one day old, that he did not feel himself personally aggrieved ; that there was no intrigue ; and that he was perfectly satisfied with what had happened. We have admitted before, and are ready to admit again, that Lord Melbourne made no statement of existing differences in the Cabinet ; nor that in his answers to the prudent and pertinent questions of the Sovereign he said that it was at that moment impossible to carry on the Government. What was said was that such were the divided opi nions of the individual Members of the Cabinet that when the time came for'the discussion of certain topics, then would come the dissensions. The water will not boil till the fire is lighted. The elements of combus tion were in the Cabinet, but they would not, as Lord Brougham would elegantly and wisely have said, " constitutionally flare up" till the match was applied; but then the result was so sure that even if, by his Majesty's authority, the debateable questions were kept out of discussion in the Cabinet, and some irrespon sible Radical started the same hare in the House of Commons, the sight would be seen of one portion of his Majesty's Ministers voting one, and another the other way. Everybody will agree th a t " prevent i on i s better than cure," and accordingly the country feels deeply grateful for the firmness and decision of its King, by which a consummation so devoutly not to be wished has been averted. To the reply of his Ma jesty to the City address, and to the rectitude, inde pendence and integrity of Sir R. Peel, we look with con fidence for the successful issue of public affairs. It has been said that discontents and hickerings will arise as to the occupancy of office and the formation of the Ministry. We disbelieve this. We believe the ge neral disposition of all those likely to be affected by the new arrangements to be that of cordially uniting for the good of the country, and we think Sir Robert Peel will not be long in gathering round him men of honour, and who, e v en if th e y have hitherto varied upon minor points of policy, will be unanimous in the performance 'of the great duty of preserving the con stitution from the danger in which the briefest ascend ancy of Radicalism would infallibly involve it.—Morn ing Post. It is stated by the Courrier Belge of the Ist inst., upon " the most respectable authority," that the first act of foreign policy of the Duke of Wellington, after taking the oaths as Minister, was a note sent by a Carlist messenger to the King of Holland, to announce to him that the formal intention of the new English Cabinet was to make no change in the line of foreign policy adopted by the preceding Ministry. The same paper also states, thrat a note of the same tenor has been sent to Berlin, Madrid, Frankfort, Paris, Vienna, and Constantinople. This intelligence, as far as it goes, tends to corroborate the account which the Morning Herald received from its Belgian correspon dent, and published on Tuesday, respecting the pur port of the message from the Duke, said to have been delivered at the Hague. That a change of Ministry would have the effect of disturbing all settled relations in Europe, of violating the faith of treaties, and plung ing the nations into the calamities of a general war, no person save and except the fabricators of " general alarm," or the dupes of the artifices of faction, for a single moment believed. Yet such have been the disastrous prospects held out by the agitators, who now labour to get all society into confusion, that they may ride upon the storm of their own creation. But it is one thing not to disturb the settled relations with Foreign Powers, and it is another to go in with the truckling, vacillating, and un-English system of the Palmerston policy ; if that could be called a system which seemed only governed by chance, and tossed about perpetually upon th e waves o f accident. That the Duke of Wellington will attempt to dethrone the present King of the French and restore the banished Bourbons, no sane person could believe, even if the Duke of Wellington had given no formal assurance to the contrary. The Duke of Wellington must be very anxious to destroy his own work, if he were now to advise his Sovereign to retract his recognition of Louis Philippe, the Duke having been the Minister who advised that recognition, and gave the example of acknowledging the revolutionized dynasty of France to all the other States of Europe. But to acknowledge the sovereignty of the French King is a very different matter from allowing the course of English policy to be made blindly subser vient to his views, as it was made by the Whigs, under the incapable Administration of the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs, both in the case of Belgium, which has been reduced to the condition of a French pro vince, in the unprincipled attack upon Holland, as we before stated, and in the case of Spain, the quadruple alliance having been drawn up for no other purpose than to enable the citizen-despot to establish in that country his no-principled system of Government, nick named the juste milieu system, and to which is mainly attributable all the calamities with which that unfortu nate country is now oppressed and nearly overwhelmed. We cannot believe the Duke of Wellington will be so utterly neglectful of the interests of his country as to allow England to be thus drawn, as Lord Palmerston was drawing her, in passive humiliation, in the wake of French policy. Let him preserve peace with France, but let him beware of the wheedling, cajoling, ensnar ing, and treacherous policy of the wily Doctrinaires, and their intriguing chief--the Citizen-King, who has been all along secretly courting the alliance of Russia, while he has held the Whig genius of our Foreign Department in his leading-strings. Again, although we do not advise the Duke of Wellington to break up our settled relations with Prussia or Russia, yet if to consult for the political interests, the honour, and the commercial influence of England be, in his estimation, nobler objects for a British Statesmen to pursue, than to truckle to and conciliate the Holy Alliance, lie will use all legitimate means to counteract the selfish pro ject which Prussia, is pursuing, to the exclusion of British manufactures among the German States by means of her commercial union. He will also take more decisive steps than the Whigs took, who indeed took none, to prevent Turkey from falling into the grasp of Russia, and our trade from being ruined in the Levant. He will also speak in a tone that becomes a British Statesman to Russia, touching the Treaty of Vienna, and the destruction of the neutrality of Poland. He will, we trust, at all events, exert himself to put a stop to the persecution of the Poles, over whom the shield of British protection ought to be extended. We equally trust he will not go on with the absurd and abortive Palmerston system of protocolling with regard to Holland and Belgium ; but, if he cannot bring them immediately to terms, leave them to fight out their own quarrels ; and in all cases where England is not bound by treaty to interfere in the disputes of foreign States, act strictly upon the principle of non intervention, which the Whigs always proclaimed, but, except in the case of the Poles, always violated.— Morning Herald. It has rarely fallen to our lot to perform a more gra tifying duty than that of inserting the following letter from Lord Brougham to the present Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, respecting the recent offer of his services as Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Our words on Monday last, when the former admirers of Lord Brougham were silent, respecting his claims to pro tection from the poisoned shafts of his enemies, and the latter were allowed to ride rough-shod over his well-earned reputation, were—" It is true, that he urged the matter strenuously, but not dishonour ably—he urged it as a matter of economy to the country, not in the shape of a desire of place—he claimed nothing for his services—he claimed employ ment only. He did not offer himself as a Govern ment hireling—he expressly claimed not only exemp tion from supporting it, but the right of opposing it. In all this, notwithstanding the comments of some of our contemporaries, we see nothing very specially disgraceful. We think, unquestionably, that Lord Brougham, great and numerous as the benefits are which he has conferred upon his country, might well have spared to his opponents and personal enemies the opportunity of turning the circumstance to his discre dit ; but until the insinuations have been proved— until Lord Lyndhurst, a good authority in law, what ever he may be in point 9f fact, has done somewhat more than merely publish the contents of the letters upon his own ipse dixit, at his own dinner-table, we shall take leave to think as well as we have ever done of Lord Brougham, and to prophecy in addition, that though under a cloud of almost unanimous censure at present, he will, in due season, re-appear, in all the brightness and splendour which extraordinary talent and extraordinary genius can throw around him." That we were not mistaken in the view which we took of the character and conduct of the Noble Lord, the letter which we now copy from the Globe of last night (the letter will be found in another part of The Sun,) most amply proves. His Lordship seems to admit, indi rectly, the indiscretion of which he was guilty in fur nishing, for a moment, to his personal and political enemies, the opportunity of misrepresenting his mo tives, and tarnishing his fame, by ascribing to his con duct reasons for which there existed no legitimate grounds ; but his letter proves, in every other respect, that in making the offer he was actuated by the purest patriotism—by the loftiest and most commendable am bition—by the honest zeal of a man who leaves all considerations behind him in order to serve his country by saving its money, and improving its institutions. That he was actuated by any other motives we defy his worst enemies to prove—that he was likely to be actuated by them, the whole course of his life—his innumerable services to his country—and his unceasing zeal to accomplish every needful re form in Church and State—so amply disprove, as to render it a work of pure supererogation to enter into the slightest detail.—Morning Advertiser. Lord Melbourne has at length spoken out, and vin dicated not only what we said respecting the dismissal of himself and colleagues from the King's councils, but given the lie to those who, in order to palliate that sudden, extraordinary, and, we think, dangerous step, attempted to fasten upon him the infamous charge of having turned his colleagues out of office, by repre senting to his Majesty that there was disunion in the Cabinet upon important points of domestic policy, and that, in consequence of that disunion, he could not hope to carry on the Government for any length of time. We told our readers, from the beginning, that the statements of the renegade Whig and Tory press on this subject had not the slightest founda tion—we declared it to be false that Lord Melbourne had ever spoken to his Majesty, either of dis sensions in the Cabinet, or difficulties in carrying on the Government—and we added emphatically, that even if he had been inclined to make mention of such matters—supposing them to have existed, which they did not—the Royal mind was made up on the subject, and did not allow the time necessary for the perpetra tion of what would have been treachery to his col leagues, and treason to the cause of Reform. In all these assertions we are borne out by the answer of Lord Melbourne to the address of his friends and neighbours, the Reformers of Derby. " The death of Earl Spencer," said the Noble Lord, " having de prived the Government of Lord Althorp's services in the lower House of Parliament, it became his (Lord Melbourne's) duty to take the pleasure of his Majesty, and make the requisite arrangements for filling up the deficiency. It was sufficient to say that, in taking these steps, his Ma.jesty intimated to him that he would not impose upo n him that task; but that he intended to resort for that purpose to other Counsellors." We make no comment upon this point—he who runs may read in it the most ample verification of all that we have stated. His Lordship, however, wentfarther than merely to intimate the painful manner in which his Ca binet had been broken up—he declared without cir cumlocution that all the statements which had appeared respecting it in the adverse portion of the press were " erroneous and unfounded.' " Every rumour," said he, " had been seized upon; and although it was t h e nature of the press to seize upon every statement in important cases, and although he, on ordinary o cca . sions, did not blame such proceedings, yet, in the present one, it had, undoubtedly, far overstepped the truth, and resorted to the publication of statements, none of which were correct. Circumstances had been stated as facts which were utterly false, and where any appearance of truth seemed to be made out, or had any just foundation, it was so perverted as to be calcu lated to more mislead the public than absolute falsehood itself." With regard to internal divisions in the Cabinet his Lordship was not less emphatic and positive. " Nothing of this sort," said he, " would at all have led to its breaking up if the King had not dissolved it. I beg,' said his Lordship, to give a clear, distinct, and emphatic denial to this assumption. That some shades of difference on important measures did exist, and would always exist, might be the case ; but that any such variation in sentiment has caused the event is erroneous and untrue." Referring our readers to what his Lordship said respecting those measures of Reform which his Cabinet would have introduced, had life been granted it, and made it its endeavour to pass, we conclude our brief analysis by pointing the atten. tion of our readers to the important explanation fur nished by his Lordship, of the meaning attached by him to the expression that he did not feel personally aggrieved by the breaking up of his Cabinet. Of this expression the Tory journals have laid hold as a complete and entire proof, not only that Lord Melbourne had confessed to the King that he could not long carry on the Government, but of his approbation of the conduct pursued by his Majesty. What, however, does Lord Melbourne say now ? Why, simply that he was not " personally aggrieved," because the question was not a personal, but a public one—because it was a matter of state policy, not of individual liking or disliking--because it was not Lord Melbourne and his colleagues who were dismissed as Ministers—but their policy, as being too much i❑ ac cordance with the spirit of the age, and too rapid in the uprooting of abuses, to be palatable to those who depend upon their existence for the maintenance of their party. In a word, the truth is now out in all its fullness ; the Melbourne Administration fell not be cause it would not, but because it would, reform ; and we cannot help agreeing with his Lordship, that the event was as sudden as it was unexpected—that it had " occurred abruptly," to use his Lordship's language, and " at a time when the public mind was in a state of especial calm and quiet. '—Morniug Advertiser. It appears to us that nothing can be more useless than to proceed further with explanatory statements, whether in the way of justification or the contrary, as to the causes which have led to the breaking up of Lord Melbourne's Government, until they can be given on an authority which no man will dispute. There is extracted from the Derby Mercury an ad dress of confidence to his Lordship, and regret for his loss of office, which drew from the noble Viscount an answer containing many just and valuable sentiments, together with wholesome advice to the Dissenters, warning them against disunion. But with regard to the dissolution of the Ministry, his Lordship deals, for the most part, in general terms, and these importing decided condemnation of the reports which have been circulated by the press. In one instance only the late Premier states a distinct fact in the affirmative--namely, that his efforts to supply the place of Lord Althorp in the Cabinet were met by his Majesty with " an intimation that lie would not impose such a task upon him, but would resort to other Counsellors." It would be inte resting no doubt to ascertain, which Lord Melbourne has not given us the means of doing, at what particular point of his Lordship's communication with his Ma jesty, and at what specific stage of his efforts to find a successor for Lord Althorp, this abrupt notice of the Royal disposition was afforded. Some unwelcome pro posal, we are convinced, must have been made to the Sovereign, which called forth such a sudden announce ment, for Lord Melbourne no where says that the in tention to " resort to other Counsellors" was notified to him at an early stage of their deliberative interview at Brighton. We repeat, however, that it is useless to continue bandying about contradictions, where the par ties have as yet no official tribunal to appeal to. The time must soon come when full and authorized explanations will be called for ; and until then we shall repose our entire confidence in the sources whence our own past statements of fact have been derived. As for the wanton abuse which has been flung out upon us by one particular clique of scamps, of whose sordid envy, and undying malignity, their language is as thoroughly characteristic as it would be disgraceful to any other portion of the daily press, we are just enough affected by it to reiterate with more earnestness and determina tion than ever the avowals by which it has been pro voked. We adhere, then, in the most binding and solemn manner, to all the views and principles of Re form to which we have ever pledged this journal, for England, for Ireland, and every class of their in habitants. We declare our own perfect and abso lute indifference as to the hand from which we and our countrymen receive the blessing of improved in stitutions ; and we have so deep and just a sense of the value of that great law which was obtained for the united kingdom, by the energetic exertions of the people themselves, through the instrumentality of Lord Grey's Administration, as to be convinced that no other Administration can , i n sp i te o f it, oppress or misgovern this emancipated realm. We are sure that neither the Duke of Wellington nor Sir Robert Peel could attempt so desp era t e an enterprise. The frenzy of the undertaking would appal them, or any men beyond the precincts of Bedlam ; and yet it is for this testimony which we bear to the Reform Bill, and this slighting of the utmost force of the Conservatives, if directed against its provisions or against its conse quences, that the flood -gates of virulence and scurri lity have been opened upon us ; and because our free and independent judgment respecting the prospect of the country under one party or another, both being alike but willow-rods compared with the supreme sceptre of the national sovereignty—it is because this our judgment of what may be expected from Conservatives and what from Whigs differs from that of a print which has noto riously no permission to utter an opinion of its own, but has interests to serve which are not those of the nation, that the menials spirt their noisome tobacco juice in our faces. Now, justice to the English people requires that equa/ justice should be rendered to all classes of English statesmen. Why should the Duke of Wellington and other Conservatives be abused for changing their system of measures with the changed condition of the country ? Ought they to be praised for stubbornly , stupidly , and wickedly striving to govern the kingdom on anti-reform principles, after the whole anti-reform machinery has been swept away by law ? Ought the Duke and his friends, on the other hand, to be excommunicated, because now that a measure which he opposed has become law, he proposes to obey the law, to administer the law, and to adapt the character of his policy to that of the changed institutions of the country, which he cannot unchange if he were ever so bent on it, unless the people of England, having power in their hands, choose to restore it to the oligarchy from whom they have wrested it ? Certainly it would be most convenient for the Whigs (we wish we could find a better than that obsolete term), but for the Whigs it would be most convenient, it would amount to a perpe tuity of power, if the Conservatives were to cling, un der all the most varying circumstances, to a system of measures by which it would be now impracticable to govern England, and the very first proposal of which would oust them at once from office. The Conservatives, we assume, have too much com mon sense for this. They will try to act accord ing to the only mode by which it is at this time pos sible to carry on the affairs of the Empire, and for this implied promise they are absurdly, but incessantly, vilified. When Mr. Canning became Prime Minister, no man could be more impressed than he was with the moral and political necessity of Catholic emancipation; yet he threw it overboard by stipulation during George IV.'s life, and quashed all mention of the Test Act and of Parliamentary Reform. To the two first of these measures, and to their expediency and sound policy, Canning had pledged his reputation, pronouncing that the peace and safety of the realm required that they should be carried. Yet he gave up these vital benefits, and thereby to that extent was an " apostate." What, then did a large body of the Whigs—Mr. Brougham, Mr. Abercromby, Lord , and Lord Lansdowne, the Duke of Devonshire Hollar ? No Holland ?Did, they all applauded him they condemn or abuse Mr. Canning ; them be ca m e hi s co lleagues. Here was apostsome of acy from good to bad—from a principle whose excellence was acknowledged, to an indefinite postponement of its application ! And Canning and the Whigs were right. They did a ll th a t th e y h a d it i n th e i r p ower toexecute for the cause of freedom. They could do no more, therefore they attempted nothing more, and the people of England approved them. But now, be cause the Duke and his friends hold out assurances that they will turn from bad to good, and govern ac cording to popular principles, not being able to help it, with them it is called " apostacy," and every other rancorous name, although the men who submitted to an evil necessity, and ruled on Court principles, be cause, as they said, they could not help it (and many of the late Ministry were among them), were raised into idols by the political worshippers of the hour ? Is this justice ?—we appeal to our countrymen, is it justice ? —or gross iniquity and miserable faction ? On this gr,ound of reasoning we are prepared to stand.—Times. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 4. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1834 STANDEN V. GARTH. Mr. HOGGINS stated that this was an action of assumpsit for money paid to the defendant's use. The plaintiff and defendant were both officers in the army. The defendant, Captain Garth, whose name was probably not unknown to the Jury, had granted an annuity, and the plaintiff had be come security for its regular payment. It was not paid by the defendant, and the plaintiff was therefore obliged to pay it. A very large amount of it had been paid by the plain tiff to the annuitant through the hands of a Mr. Howard, who could not be found to be called as a witness, and the plaintiff must be content therefore with a verdict for such a sum as had been paid by Colonel Standen to the annui tant's agent. The sum which the plaintiff now claimed was 427/. The annuitant's agent was called, and he stated that the whole sum paid was 8551., of which he had received 3641. directly from Mr. Howard, and the sum of 4911. from the plaintiff himself. The clerk to the plaintiff's attorney stated a conversa tion he had had in the prison of the King's Bench with the 4efendant, in which the defendant admitted that he owed 427/. to the plaintiff. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 327 l COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 4. WIGGINS AND ANOTHER V. RUMSEY. This was an action brought to recover the amount of certain farming stock, crops, &c., sold under an execution by the defendant. The plaintiffs in this case are the assignees of a person of the name of Joynson, formerly carrying on the business of a tanner, at West Wickham, and also part proprietor of a stage coach running from that place to London. The defendant is a solicitor, residing at the same place. It ap pears that, in 1829, the bankrupt gave a warrant of at torney to the defendant for sums of money advanced, and also for bills of costs, upon which judgment was not en tered up until May 2, 1832. Prior to that time the bank rupt, who was in a very extensive way of business, bor rowed money of a niece of his, Caroline Joynson, who had a legacy left her u n d er h er gran d mot h er ' s w ill , w hi ch was to have been repaid a short time after. In the be ginning of 1832 she, requiring the money, became urgent for the payment of it from the bankrupt, who made many promises that he would do so. In answer to one of her notes, he stated that he would meet her brother, W. Joynson, at the Oxford Arms, in London, for that purpose on a p ar ti cu l ar d ay h e named, and that he would speak to the defendant, and endeavour to make some arrangement for a speedy settlement, which appointment he never kept. The defendant, Mr. Rumsey, being aware how matters stood with respect to the bankrupt, sent in an execution upon his judgment on the 4th of May, 1832, un der which the whole property was sold. It was contended, on the part of the plaintiffs, the assignees, that the breaking of this appointment was to be taken as an act of bank ruptcy. The case underwent the consideration of a Jury last February, who found a verdict for the plaintiff ; but the Court, upon an application for a new trial, sent it down again, that it might be more thoroughly sifted. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the breaking of this appointment, which could not be considered in the light of a promise to pay, was not to be construed into an act of bankruptcy. The Jury brought in a verdict for the defendant. This verdict will have the effect, therefore, of upsetting the Commission. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. On Wednesday evening an application was made at this office to Sir F. Roe by direction of the Right Hon. the Lord Chamberlain, for a summons to be issued against Mr. Thorne, an upholsterer and dealer in curiosities, in Stanhope street, Clare-market, in order that he might appear to show in what manner he became possessed of a quantity of tapes try, the property of his Majesty. It appeared from the statement of the gentleman who made the application, that when the new gallery was erected some time ago in the House of Lords, a portion of the splendid tapestry representing the capture of the Spanish Armada was removed, and conveyed to the Lord Chamber-. lain's office for security. A man, whose name did not ap . - pear, who was a servant to Major M'Carthy, the Secre tary to the Lord Chamberlain, and who had access . to the place where the tapestry was deposited, offered it as a present to a friend of his named Weare. The latter, however, said he would not accept it as a present, but would give him ss. for it, which was accepted. Weare afterwards offered it for sale to Mr. Preston, a broker, in Stanhope -street, who became a purchaser, and subse quently sold it to Mr. Thorne. Thi s was p rev i ous t o t h e fire by which the House of Lords, together with the re mainder of the splendid tapestry, was destroyed. The por tion of it purchased by Mr. Thorne became, in consequence of this calamity, greatly enhanced in value, and was in fact an object of much curiosity. Mr. Thorne wrote to Lord Melbourne, and subsequently to the Duke of Wellington, informing them of his having this tapestry i n hi s p ossess i on, and off er i ng t o se ll it t o hi , .; Majesty's Government for the sum of 4001. His Grace of 'Wellington, upon the receipt of Mr. Thorne's letter, wrote immediately to the Lord Chamberlain, requesting to know in what manner Mr. Thorne could have become possessed of the tapestry, and desiring that an investigation might take place. The mat ter was inquired into, and the result was that it was traced is the manner above described from Major M'Carthy's ser vant, through the hands of Weare and Preston, to the pos session of Mr. Thorne. A summons was issued, and yesterday afternoon was ap pointed for the hearing, when Major M'Carthy was present, together with the necessary witnesses. A gentleman, who said he was clerk to Mr. Hamilton, an eminent solicitor in Berners-street, accompanied by Mr. Thorne, attended to the summons, and requested a postpone ment of the inquiry. Sir F. ROE asked if the tapestry had been brought for ward as directed in the summons ? Mr. Thorne said it had not, for it could not be found at the moment. Sir F. ROE asked how this was accounted for ? Mr. Thorne said that a constable named Ibberson, who said he was sent from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, came and de manded peremptorily that the tapesty should be given up to him. This demand he (Mr. Thorne) did not think proper to comply with, and had placed the tapestry where it could not immediately be found. It would, however, be forth coming. It was wished that the inquiry should be post poned until Saturday. _ Sir F. ROE thought this was too long a postponement, for the tapestry could easily be produced in twenty-four hours at the latest. The Chief Magistrate then appointed two o'clock this day (Friday) for the hearing of the case, and directed that the tapestry should be produced, and all the witnesses be in attendance. MARY LEB ONE. Charles Johnson, alias Goldsmith, and Margaret Cave who were charged at the Office on Friday last with forming part of an extensive gang of coiners and smashers, and having base money in their possession, were yesterday again placed at the bar for re-examination, and fully committed for trial. WORSHIP- STREET. Yesterday William Cluj; by trade a weaver, who has tried almost every line of business in a small way, but who now carries on the business of a pawnbroker at No. 6, Cheshire-street, Bethnal-green, appeared to a summons be fore Mr. GROVE and Mr. TWYFORD for general ill-usage towards two children named H enry Hill ar d an d S arah Martin, that had been bound apprentice to him from the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. The Magistrates, after hearing evidence, ordered the two unfortunate children to be discharged from their inden tures, and to be taken to Bethnal-green workhouse, as they had now become chargeable to that parish. The Magis trates informed the defend an t t h at if at any future time his other apprentices or their friends wished their indentures to be cancelled also they, as Magistrates, would not under the circumstances object. H ATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, James Yoram, a constable of Clerkenwell parish, was brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT, on a warrant, by Duke, the officer of the establishment, charged by Mrs. Sarah Sutton, of St. John-street-road, with having committed a violent assau l t un d er t h e following cir cumstances : the progeeutriii bayi ng been given to understand that there was to be a performance at a private theatre in Wil mington-street, Clerkenwell, purchased some tickets on Monday night last, She proceeded W the theatre with three other female friends, who had also purchased tickets and on their arrival at the doors they found several persons there, who were greatly disappointed at being informed that there would be no performance. Witness demanded to have her money returned, and she would deliver back the tickets, on which the defendant came up, and seizing hold of her by the throat, dragged her off the steps of the door, and used her in a shameful manner, threatening the whole of her friends, saying he was a constable. Several witnesses corroborated the evidence. The defendant attended at the Wilmington theatre to keep order. Mr. LAING—Pray what are you ? Defendant—l am a constable belonging to Clerkenwell. Mr. LAING asked what sort of a theatre it was, and whe ther it had been licensed ? Defendant said it was a private theatre, and not licensed. Mr. LAING—And who employed you to attend there ? Defendant—Mr. Young, the stage - manager. Mr. Young (a m ere stripling ), here stepped forward with an affected theatrical air of dignity, and stood erect before their Worships, when he was sworn. Mr. LAING—Pray what are you ? Young (with con fidence)—l am stage-manager to the Wilmington Theatrical Establishment. Mr. LAING—Pray, is the theatre licensed ? Young— It is not, your Worship. Mr. LAING—Are there performances there every night ? Young—Oh, no ; only occasionally. Mr. LAING said they might depend upon it the place should be looked after, The Magistrates consulted, and said that the assault had been clearly proved against the defendant, and he was fined 10s. and costs. Mr. BENNETT—Depend upon it we shall do something further in this case. It is highly improper for parish con stables to lend themselves in the manner the defendant and Harris have done. The defendant paid the fine, and quitted the office. UNION-HALL. Yesterday James Boone, a foreman belonging to the London Fire Engine Establishment, was brought before Mr. MURRAY, charged on suspicion with uttering an order issued from this Office, entitling the reward to the first engine which arrived at the incendiary fire that destroyed some empty warehouses near the Charity School at Roth erhithe. After evidence had been gone into, the prisoner procured the required sureties, and was discharged. COMMERCIAL ADVICES. By the New Orleans papers, received yesterday, we learn that the trade of that place had become very brisk, there being more than sixty vessels at the landing, some of which were very large ships. More than fifty were known to be on their way to that port, and by the end of October it was expected the Mississippi would be covered with vessels. Upwards of ten thousand bales of Cotton had been disposed of in eight days, the prices varying at from 14 to 15 cents per lb. Tobacco of superior quality was 7} dollars per cwt., second quality at 6i, inferior at 5 1 4 . By the advices yesterday from St. Petersburgh we learn that the accumulation of ice upon the Neva began on the 12th and 13th ult. The bridge of boats had been removed to the banks of the river. The communication between the two parts of the town had ceased. At Cronstadt the continuation of the frost and considerable falls of snow had caused the formation of much ice, and if such weather continued, the communication with St. Petersburgh and Oranienbaum would be interrupted. By a Royal Decree, the duty on crude borax is fixed at six reals vellon when imported into Spain in Spanish bottoms, and ten reals vellon when in foreign or by land. Refined borax, or subhorate of soda, will pay one and a half reals in Spanish, and two and a half in foreign bottoms. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday being County Day, the usual meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates took place at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, B. ROTCH, Esq. in the Chair. Sir. J. SCOTT LILLIE rose to bring forward a motion, of which he had given notice, " nit the Act of the 25th Geo. 11., by which the lower orders of society in the cities of Lon don and Westminster, and within 20 miles thereof, are more restrained from the enjoyment of the recreations of music and dancing in places of public entertainment than any other class in any other part of the kingdom, is an Act that ought to be either repealed or amended in such a manner as to re move the just causes of complaint which (more particularly on recent cccasions) it has given rise to, it being the opinion of this Court that the evils intended to have been pro vided against by that Act have been rather augmented than diminished, by the inducement it holds out to the increased consumption of spirituous liquors, and the consequent increase of every species of crime and immorality. It is accordingly resolved that a Bill be introduced in the next Session of Par liament, containing such alterations in the existing law as it may appear to this Court most advisable to submit for the consideration of the Legislature, and that the Bill, when so prepared, be forwarded to the county members, for the pur pose of its being brought in as a public Act." Mr. STUTFIELD seconded the motion. Sir P. LAURIE was sorry the subject had been brought forward. Sir C. FORBF.S would support the motion. Mr. M‘WirwAra, Mr. Powls, and Dr. ROBINSON, severally opposed the motion. Sir J. S. LILLIE replied, amid loud cries of " question." 'The CIIAIRMAN then put the question, when the numbers were • For the motion... 6 Against it Majority against the motion After the disposal of some other county business of no public interest, the meeting adjourned. LEWES CHRISTMAS FAT STOCK SHOW. (From the Brighton Guardian.) This show took place yesterday (Tuesday, Dec. 2), and at three o'clock a party of more than 100 sat down to dinner at the Star Inn. The cloth being removed, the CHAIRMAN proposed the health of his Majesty, which was drunk in comparative silence, while the next toast, " the Queen," was received with cheers. " The Lord-Lieutenant of Sussex," and " The Members for the County," succeeded. Mr. H. B. CURTRIS returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then announced the decision of the judges respecting the different prizes. Mr. W. C. MABBOTT then begged to give a toast, and in doing so thought it due to Mr. Curteis to announce that it was the intention of a gentleman of the greatest respectability to offer himself as a candidate for their suffrages at the next election for the eastern division of the county.—(Cheers and hisses.) This warm reception of the bare announcement of a gentleman's intention to offer himself seemed highly gratify ing.—( Cheers, hisses, and laughter.) Mr. Mabbott then went on to say he was sure the Hon. Gentleman would admit there was not a spice of radicalism in him (Mr. Mabbott) ; whether there was in the Hon. Gentleman he left the meeting to deter mine, for that Hon. Gentleman had stated to Mr. Shelley it would be gratifying to him (Mr, Curteis) to hear that Lord Durham should be at the head of this country. Mr. CURTEIS here rose amidst great confusion, and said, " Mr. Mabbott, that's false; so help me God, that's false."— ( Cheers.) Mr. MABBOTT (who had whispered to Mr. Shelley, we be lieve) then said he believed he was not correct, but he meant to say what was right.—( Hear, and cheers.) He believed Mr. Curteis said he would rather have Lord Durham than the Duke of Wellington in power. Mr. CURTEISIOW repeated, in.the face of the whole county, that he should prefer Lord Durham to the Duke of Welling ton.74.cheers.) Mr. 'MABBOTT concluded by stating that the gentleman who intended to solicit their suffrages was Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart.—( Cheers and hisses)—an independent gentle man, a man of business, and he begged to propose his health. —( Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN-I give the Duke of Wellington as he is_ one of the greatest men of the day. —( Cheers and hisses.) The toast was drunk with three times three. Mr. J. V. SHELLEY said, he was joking with Mr. Curteis, and asked him whether he was prepared to support Lord Dur ham ? Mr. Curteis said, " I will support Lord Durham in preference to the Duke of ,Wellington."—( Hear.) He then asked Mr. Curteis if he would support him, meaning Lord Durham, in preference to Sir Robert Peel, and though he plied him very hard, he got no answer. Mr. BLACKMAN proposed the health of the Hon. Henry Fitzroy Mr.FiTzßov said it was at the request of a number of the electors that he had come forward to aspire to the representa tion of this borough, with which he was not unconnected, being related to a nobleman (Lord Gage) who was very popular here. At this crisis no man should be quiet. The question must not be blinked, it was one of government or anarchy—( Cheers)—it was, should they have law or anarchy, monarchy or republicanism ?—( Cheers.) He then proposed the health of Mr. Blackman. Mr. BLACKMAN returned thanks. Mr. emu's thought a greater curse could not fall upon this country than to have the Duke of Wellington its Prime Minister—( Cheers.) The Duke was the person who would stop all reform ; he (Mr. Curteis) believed the Duke would, if he had the power, repeal the Reform Bill—( Loud cheers.) Mr. Curteis then alluded to the case of the Brighton Guardian, and said that on his joining the members for Lewes and other gentlemen against a portion of the magistracy to save an indi vidual from six months' imprisonment, Mr. Mabbott withdrew his support from him.* It had been stated by Mr. Mabbott that he once said he would support the Duke of Wellington. He never recollected saying so. Mr. WAGNER said he heard Mr. Curteis say so. Mr. CURTEIS-1 deny it. The confusion was so great we could not hear what more passed. Mr. MABBOTT thou said he did not consider the Reform Bill an innov4tiop on, but a perfect renovation of, the Cmstitution, and that was why he voted for it. As for public opinion, he despised and scorned it. The meeting soon after separated. The penalty for the using any unstamped weights or measures A f Aet t4llO at of January next is 201.
