SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Lord Chancellor took occasion, last night, on presenting a petition, to correct some of the current • . -misrepresentations of the opinions delivered by hiin on .- -Tuesday, and which, it appears, were partly misre ported. He stated that he had never advocated, or even contemplated as possible, the abolition of the Poor Laws., He showed, what with any other adver saries than his new foes would be unnecessary, that to rational, useful charity he had ai r ways been an ardent friend, and not less a friend because opposed to the counterfeit which, under her name, under the 'pretence . . of alleviating misery, actually increases the general mass, by ill-directed attempts to interfere in par ticular instances. He showed that his present views were not adopted for the occasion, but thoughts and conclusions . which had been passing . in his mind for almost a quarter of a century. 'At the 'same time, he repeated his theoretic disapproba tion of systematic compulsory relief of the able-bodied. He maintained, and there we, as an abstract question in political economy, think him wrong, that such , • relief, when formed into a system, had a tendency to destroy diligence and frugality, and consequently to ... , . • create more distress than it relieves. In this opinion -he has many supporters. But. as far as this country is concerned, the queition whether Lord Brougham, Mr. -IVialthus, and Mr. Ricardo on one side, or a number ' of other distinguished men and the Poor Law Com , -missioners on the other, are right, may be a very suit able question for the Political Economy Club, but is of no practical importance whatever. The right - • of the able-bodied exists, and will exist, as long . as our present Constitution continues. A revoln -- • tion, indeed, might, and - probably would, extin guish it, after:, having, perhaps, as was ' the case iii France, given s to it previously for a year or two; a prodigious extension. No human being, except the sagacious Member for Mary-la-bonne, seri . • ously contemplates its abolition, and certainly • least of all a Man with the practical sense •of Lord : .. ,Brougham. And it is, perhaps, natural that, while . endeavouring to improve the existing system, he should • state his regret that such a system exists. It is one of the faults of this country and of this time, that almost - all men, except those of the very highest order of minds, are actually forced into hypocrisy. And when one of those very rare cases arises, in which a man stands forth who will not submit to conceal his senti .. Ments, or to say on any subject less than what he thinks the truth, his friends join in the hunt against . him with his enemies, proclaiming the imprudence of his avowals, the danger of saying so mach, and their ~ regret that, while advocating right measures, he should . have thought it expedient to support them by right reasons. In this case we think that the reasons, or at • least that some of them, were not right ; but we do not the less commend the sincerity and manliness with which they were put forth, and we do not the less despise the gross falsehood with which they have been exaggerated, and turned against the Bill. We say . thus much with the less scruple, because we have decidedly expressed our own opinions when at variance with those of Lord. Brougham on this subject.— Morning Chronicle. One of the many bad consequences, and that not ,the least, of persisting in the barbarous and revolting practice of flogging in the army, is the sympathy which it arouses in favour both of the crime and the criminal ; so that one of the greatest scoundrels in the service may, by these very means, be raised almost to 'the honours of martyrdom. Besides, in the particular case which at present excites the public attention, what better proof can we have of the inutility of this 'mode of punishment as a means of prevention, than .this fact, that the individual in question had already been punished 40 times ? We cannot see how the . 'proper authorities can justify to themselves the keep ing such a man in the regiment at all, unless it be . pour encourager les autres. One-fourth the number of punishments here alluded to must, we should think, point any man out as utterly incorrigible, and as a moral pestilence with which no regiment ought to be infected. To drum such a man out of a regiment . might, perhaps, be playing his game ; yet some scale 'of secondary punishments might, we should think, be 'found for such offenders, though we doubt whether a profession, priding itself upon its high sense of honour, • -ought to allow of any one remaining in its ranks in 'whom all sense of honour would seem to be obliterated. .There were formerly what were termed " condemned ' 'reiments," to which men of desperate and depraved characters used to be sent. We do not know whe .. ther any such modes Of . secondary punishment now exist. As capable of much abuse, we doubt whether • we should be advocates for them ; though if transpor tation be considered a fit punishment for civil offences, we do not see why military offences of a corresponding - mag,nitude should not meet with a corresponding pu nishment. . At any rate, how debasing the mind by • : ' debasing the body can tend to sustain the character of "the 'British army on the proud pinnacle to which it ,has attained, we are at a loss to conceive. Nor is it 'altogether unworthy of remark, that this inhuman and anomalous treatment of the human body occurs at a periOd when a highly-creditable, but still an almost morbid sympathy exists in the public mind with re gard to cruelties, either real or supposed, inflicted upon the - brute creation. For the protection of the very .. " lowest of the race of animals there are Societies exist ing in this metropolis, with agents constantly at work to carry their humane views into effect, and is it not a little too much to know that, while every weal upon the side of a horse or an Ass is regulated by the standard Of Martin's Act, the human body can be flayed be yond endurance, and that by the standard of surgical inspection ? And again, we say, that to render the crime and the criminal objects of sympathy is not the way 'to repress the one or to reform the other.- --- -Morning Herald. The Lord Chancellor. complained last night of his - opinions and arguments in support of the Poor Law - Bill having been misrepresented. These opinions and arguments he attempted to explain, but we confess our inability . to understand the explana tion of the Noble and Learned Lord when viewed in connection with his complaint. His Lordship first :seems to consider himself injured by the imputa- Stion.that he is the enemy of public hospitals, and forthwith proceeds 'to proclaim himself the enemy of all charitable funds or endowments of whatever description upon the assistance of which the poor can be expected to place any . dependence. We can only Ulfer from this strange inconsistency that the Noble and Learned Lord does not quite un . derstand what his own opinions are. His Lord ship says distinctly that labourers, while in health, 'should lay by the means of providing, for theniselves Medical assistance, when sickness shall overtake them, and that institutions which obviate this necessity, or which are calculated to make the labouring classes in any degree less mindful of it, are mischievous. This opinion may be right or wrong. It is a question which we do not now discuss. But it is quite clear that the man who holds it has not much reason to complain that he is described as the opponent of public hos pitals. lhe truth seems to be that the Noble and Learned Lord cannot bring himself to renounce either the Malthusian theories, which can never be popular in any country, or the popularity which he knows to be inseparable from the support of those chiritable in stitutions ' 'which the Malthusian theories decidedly condemn. ---Morning Post. . We do not again willingly revert to the painful sub ject of the cruel torture of the private Hutchinson, who Nira,. according to the articles of war, so barbarously tieated ten days ago ; but feeling must be sacrificed to duty, and our duty tells us that the case must not be allowed to sleep, lest the result aimed at by its ex posure should not be realized. In a word, then, all :the reports which have reached us set at defiance the Statements so plausibly made by Sir M. W. Ridley in favour of his relative, Colonel Bowater. They cast no reflection upon the latter, but they represent the; victim of the punishment inflicted under his eye as an intelligent and an inoffensive man—as well-educated and unielsally beloved in the regiment—as being occasiortarrpaddicted to drinking, but being guiltless of. any abet. vice. Was flogging, we ask, even if fl ogg i ng . wet an allowable punishment, the proper - , -,punishment Kfsuch a man ? Would not the depri- '''', 4vation of a p.. •.n of his pay- 7 -or solitary confinement ~.....%.'—or...,but '..i't ers do not now-a-days condescend to talk to or to exhort their men—a sound lecture—have operated a more beneficial result ? The case of Hen derson or Hutchinson, however, we fear is not singular. •We have heard, but we do not vouch for the fact, that two similar scenes have since occurred in Windsor or its neighbourhood, and that two privates of the 3rd Cold stream Guards have been subjected to the infliction of no fewer than 200 lashes without intermission I We pity the poor fellows, whatever may have been their crime ; but were it possible to mingle gladness with our pity, we should say that we rejoice at the infliction as an additional aid in behalf of the just cause—a cause which is that of humanity as opposed to cruelty—of civilization as against barbarism—of wisdom as op posed to ignorance —and which must triumph, be its opponents who they may.—Morning Advertiser. Qne week Mr. O'Connell voluntarily signs a paper, ,pressing Lord Althorp to remain in office, and pro mising his support to any Ministry of which he should be a Member. The next week he writes a furious epistle to the people of Nottingham, dissuading them from returning Lord Althorp's chosen colleague to Parliament, and be makes a motion, denouncing as corrupt another Member of the Cabinet which Lord Althorp's continuance in office has enabled the King to re-construct. • He, at the same time, announces a pertinacious opposition to the only two important Go vernment Bills now before Parliament. Is this sup port ? If so, what is opposition ?—Morn. Advertiser. The proceedings at Nottingham are of so violent a nature, that we confess ourselves unable to understand what can be the moving cause of a fury almost unpa ralleled in English elections. We can easily imagine that objections may exist to Sir J. C. Hobhouse, on the ground of his being a member of the present Ad ministration, but that circumstance alone cannot ac count for the mad rage exhibited against him, while his personal character, at once amiable and respectable, renders these expressions of popular aversion still more inexplicable. The scene is altogether as disgraceful as it is unintelligible. It is not rational, nor just, nor even human, to drown all his attempts to defend himself, with savage yells and outrageous uproar.—Times. MRS. SIDDONS'S DRAMATIC FAME. I cannot now remember the regular succession of cha racters during this my first season, 1782-3. I think Bel videra came soon after Isabella, who almost precluded the appearance of all others for a very long time ; but I well remember my fears and ready tears on each subsequent effort, lest I should fall from my high exaltation. The crowds collected about- my carriage at my outgoings and incomings, and the gratifying and sometimes comical re marks fheard on those occasions, were extremely diverting. The royal family very frequently honoured me with their presence. The King was often moved to tears, and the Queen at one time told me, in her gracious manner and broken English, th her only refuge was actually turning her back upon the stage, at the same time protesting that my acting was " indeed too disagreeable." In short, all went on most prosperously ; and, to complete my triumph, I had the honour to receive the commands of their Ma jesties to go and read to to them, which I frequently did, both at Buckingham-house and at Windsor. Their Ma jesties were the most gratifying of auditors, because the most unremittingly attentive. The King was a most judicious and tasteful critic, both in acting and dramatic composi tion. He told me he had endeavoured, vainly, to detect me in a false emphasis, and very humorously repeated many of Mr. Smith's, who was then a principal actor. He graciously recommended the propriety of my action, par ticularly my total repose in certain situations. This, he said, is a quality- in which Garrick failed, " He never could stand still, he was a great fidget." Ido not exactly re member the time (she continues) that I was favoured with an invitation from Dr. Johnson, but I think it was during the first of my celebrity. The doctor was then a wretched invalid, and had requested my friend, Mr.. Windham, to persuade me to favour him by drinking tea with him in Bolt-court. * * The doctor spoke highly of Garrick's various powers of acting. When Mr. Windham and my self were discussing some point respecting Garrick, he said, " Madam, do not trouble yourself to convince Windham : he is the very bull-dog of argument, and will never lose his hold." Dr. Johnson's favourite female character in Shak speare was Katherine, in Henry the Eighth. He was most desirous of seeing me in that play, but said, " I am too deaf and too blind to see or hear at a greater distance than the stage-box, and have little taste for making myself a public gaze in so distinguished a situation." I assured him that nothing would gratify me so much as to have him for an auditor, and that I could procure for him an easy-chair at the stage door, where he could both see and hear, and be perfectly concealed. He appeared greatly pleased with this arrangement ; but, unhappily for me, he did not live to fulfil our mutual wishes. Some weeks before he died I made him some morning visits. He was extremely, though formally polite ; always apologized for being unable to at tend me to my carriage ; conducted me to the head of the stairs, kissed my hand, and, bowing said, " Dear madam, I am your most humble servant ;" and these were always re peated without the smallest variation.—Life Siddons. A SUITOR TO ROYALTY. A good deal of talk and merriment have been created in Kensington, in consequence of the eccentricities of a gen tleman said to hold a rank of some importance in the army, who has fallen desperately in love with the youthful charms of the Princess Victoria, and who for some months past has taken every opportunity of manifesting the ardour of his passion to her Royal Highness, and of ma king her a formal tender of his hand and heart. For some time the proposals and the epistles of this aspiring lover were treated as the effusions of a distempered intellect, and no notice was taken of them ; but latterly his efforts to obtain an interview became so persevering, and it be ing known tbat he generally stationed himself in Kensing ton-gardens, in those portions where her Royal Highness most frequently indulged in the recreation of walking, it was found expedient to give some directions to the gate keepers on the subject. From what can be gathered of this eccentric gentle man's movements, it appears that about the beginning of last spring, he made some very particular inquiries of the keeper at the Mount-gate, Kensington-gardens, as to the Princess, wishing in particular to know the best way in which he could obtain an introduction, and whether it was most likely an interview could be granted at Kensing ton-Palace. _ YV The gate-keeper referred the gentleman to the proper authorities at the Palace ; after which he received three cards, containing, as the gentleman said, his titles and dignity, with a request that they should be Immedi ately forwarded to her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, who, he added, would see that, by an alliance with him, her Royal Highness would acquire an imperial title of superior pretensions to the comparatively insignifi cant distinction of Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. On the cards were written, the " King of Rome ;" " The Em peror of the Austrias ;" and " The Grand Lama of Thi bet." Several letters were forwarded to the Palace by this tripartite potentate, who was constantly seen promenading before the Palace, and in the gardens, waiting to obtain the desired interview with the Princess. For five or six days after this he disappeared, but one day, while the gate keepers were at dinner, he contrived to gain admission into the gardens, when he took that opportunity, unobserved, to jump over the palings into the shrubbery, and there plant a laurel, to which' he affixed another letter to the Prince Fs Victoria, which, of course, wlfeti discovered, was speedily removed. The next morning the aspirant to royalty came to the gate and inquired for the Princess. On being in formed her Royal Highness was gone to Claremont, he immediately jumped into a cab, and made a bargain with the driver to take him there for a sovereign, which was paid. In the evening the gentleman returned, and told the gate-keeper he had been to Claremont, and had been shown over the house, but lie had been unable to obtain a view of the Princess. From that time this gentleman con tinued to pursue the same system of eccentricity, and, yes terday morning, having made some further inquiries of the gate-keeper respecting her Royal Highness, who had just taken an airing in a pony-chaise, the gate-keeper considered it to be the most prudent course to inform Sir John Con roy of the persevering conduct of the persevering suitor. The gate-keeper, having received his instructions, pro ceeded to the station-house, and returned to the gardens, accompanied by Inspector M'Manus, of the T division. The gate-keeper and the inspector then proceeded towards a bench in the garden, where the individual in question had taken a seat. As soon as he saw them, probably guessing their mission, he rose up with the intention of walking away ; but he was stopped by the inspector, who explained to him the authority on which he acted, and told him he must take him into custody, unless he would pledge his honour to a b s t a i n i n f u t ure f rom th e ridiculous system of annoyance he had practised. The individual, after some demur, gave the required promises, and was allowed to leave the gard ens , a ft er having given a card, which con tained, as was presumed, hi s rea l name an d ran k, the lat ter of which was stated to be Li e ut enan t-C o l o nel -. He was a tall military-looking man, with an umbrella and a bunch of lavender, and apparently about forty-five years of age. The number of persons who have sailed from the port of Liverpool, as emigrants to the United States and the British Colonies, during the quarter ending the 30th o f J une last, is 11,625. _Liverpool Albion. ME SUN, LONDON, FRIDA Y, JULY 25, 1834. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUI T .—CAMBRIDGE, JULY 2'. (Before Mr. Justice BosANorET.) James Edwin Dixon and John Phibbs, were indicted under the statute 57 George 111., cap. 19, sec. 5, for be longing to an illegal combination and union, the members of which were compelled to take an oath not required by law. The defendants are respectable looking young men, journeymen shoemakers by business. Mr. Gunning and Mr. Barker appeared for the prose cution ; Mr. Austin for the defence. The jury having been sworn, Mr. GUNNING stated to them that the defendants were indicted for having been members of an illegal association lately existing in this town, the object of which was to aid and assist each other and the trade in general in refusing to work under certain stipulated wages, and the members of which were bound by an oath not to reveal the secrets of the society, or to in form against each other. That such a combination was dangerous to society there could be no doubt ; and that it was illegal, as being within the express provision of the statute upon which they were indicted, could not for a moment be denied. The object of the prosecutors, how ever;in preferring this indictment, was not to inflict punish ment upon the defendants, but to warn their townsmen and the public in general that such associations were illegal, and that it was an indictable offence to belong them. That object, he was happy to say, had been completely answered ; for not only had the union to which the defendants had belonged been dissolved in consequence of the publicity of the present charge, but there was but one feeling amongst its late members of its illegality and mischievousness. That being so, the prosecutors had no wish to press the indictment against the defendants, and if his Lord ship thought he could do so without compromising public justice, he should be content to offer no evidence in support . of .it. Justice BOSANQUET said he thought under all the circuinstanco. that the course pursued by the prosecutors was most proper and judicious, and it was one to which he had no hesitation in giving his sanction. He had read the depositions, and he was satisfied that the only object of the .prosecutors was to show that these associations were unlawful, and to warn their fellow-townsmen against enter '' ing into them, and that they did n o t. desire to inlict punish ment on the individuals whom they had selected for prose cution. It was for the sake of the defendants, and of per-. sons in their line of business, that he (the Learned Judge), declared, as he did ;without the least hesitation, that the union to which they had belonged was dangerous and ille gal, and that those who engaged in them were committing an offence for which, if convicted, they were liable to very heavy punishment. No state could tolerate those associa tions which called upon or permitted the members of them to take an oath not to reveal their transactions, or any other oath " not required by law," to use the language of the statute : the consequences of such an oath was to de prive the state of the benefit of the testimony of those who have consented to take it—a consequence dangerous to so ciety, and most unjust to individuals. It operated as a direct encouragement to the association to commit illegal acts, if they thought the members were bound not to discover them ; and when once a man had bound himself to become the depositary of the secrets of such an association, he found him self in the alternative of either withdrawing himself from it, which he might find it difficult to do, or of engaging still deeper in its illegal and mischievous acts. His Lordship enlarged on many other evil consequences of such associations, as well to the individuals belonging to them as to the society, with great earnestness and clearness, and produced a strong impression on the defendants and the auditory. He trusted, that as the prosecution was instituted for the sake of public warn ing, all persons would be satisfied with what had been done, and that the defendants would be grateful to the prosecu tors for not pressing a charge of such a character as that for which they were indicted. He was very happy to. learn that the association was at an end, and that the men had returned to their work, and he sincerely hoped that they would see, as was unquestionably true, that it was no less their personal interest than their duty to abstain from en tering such an association again after this public warning, and to cultivate the good opinion of their employers. The defendant Dixon said that he was most truly thank ful for his Lordship's. kind and feeling address, and for the course the prosecutors had adopted, a course which they should never have reason to regret. He had entered the society from what lie thought a right principle, and with no idea whatever of violating the law. He did not know that the union was unlawful, but as soon as be had learned that it was, he had withdrawn himself from it, and caused it to, be broken up. After again thanking the prosecutors, he and the other defendant bowed and left the court, evidently well pleased with the turn the case had taken. WE STERN CIRCUIT.-DOUCTIESTER, JULY 23. Isaac Brake was indicted for feloniously and mali ciously, with a pistol loaded with powder and ball, shoot ing at William Hall, of Corfe Castle, butcher, with in tent to murder him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. He was charged with the like offence on the Coro ner's inquisition. Mr. SAUNDERS stated the case for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses : Cassandra Stoodly, who lives at Stoborough, was with her husband on the 12th of April last returning home from the heath between Wareham and Corfe Castle, and when they came near Hide-hill she saw the prisoner, the deceased William Hall, another man, and a woman. A horse was before them. They were going on the road from Stobo rough to Corfe Castle. Hall cried out to the witness and her husband to stop the horse. Her husband did so. Hall and the prisoner then - came up, and the prisoner got upon the horse. Hall said he should not ride. Prisoner said he would ; but after some contention the prisoner dis mounted. The man and- woman before-mentioned walked on while the prisoner was upon the horse. They went up the hill towards Corfe Castle. Some conversation took place between Hall and the prisoner respecting an empty basket which the latter had carried on the condition of Hall's allowing him to ride. They went on aggravating each other, when Hall said to the prisoner, " Go before or behind, and don't aggravate me so." Hall had a little stick in his hand, with which he struck the prisoner across the shoulders once or twice. He did not strike him very hard. He then took the prisoner by the side of the coat, and asked him what he had there—a pistol ? On this, the prisoner took a pistol from his pocket ; and while he attempted to cock it, Hall endeavoured to strike it out of his hand. Hall had hold of him all the time. The pri soner then pushed Hall back, fired the pistol at him, and the ball passed through his side. The prisoner was about two yards from Hall when he fired. Hall instantly cried out, " That villain has shot me through the loins." Hall then went towards the witness and dropped, and her hus band fainted away. The woman and the man were on be fore, going over the hill towards Corfe. When the pri soner fired the pistol they looked back, and the Witness waved her hand for them to return, but they did not. After the prisoner had shot Hall he took up a bundle from the ground-and walked on. Witness told him he had shot a man, and called him to come back, but he would not. He flourished his stick over his head, laughed, and went on up the hill. Hall was a little in liquor, but the prisoner was not at all. Soon after the report of the pistol, two men, named George Norris and Thomas Hatchard, came to wit ness's assistance. They asked her what had happened ; Hall was then lying in agony on the ground. When his waistcoat was unbuttoned witness saw blood on his shirt, about the size of a crown piece, and a hole in his side about the size of a bullet. Hatchard took the deceased of his back and carried him to witness's cottage. In h'er cross-examination by Mr. Gambier, the witness said, when the prisoner got off the horse, he observed that he should not have attempted to ride if Hall had not given him permission. After the prisoner had fired off the pistol she .041 . n0t bear.but saw him laugh. .tcmathan.Stoodly,.huSband to the preceding witness,gave similar testimony, and said that Hall threatened to boy-beat the prisoner. George Norris, a labourer, heard the report of the pistol, and saw the fire and smoke. He and Thomas Hatchard pursued the prisoner, and found him about half a mile from the spot where Hall was shot. Thomas Hatchard, on coming up to the prisoner, asked him what authority he had for shooting the man ? He re plied that he had authority to serve any man in a similar way who molested him on the road. Robert Taylor, the post-master at Corfe Castle, on his return from Wareham on the 12th of April, saw the de ceased at Stoodly's cottage ; he afterwards went in pursuit of the prisoner, and found him at Kimmeridge, about three miles from Corfe Castle. The prisoner said if any other person were to molest him as Hall had done, he would shoot him. The prisoner was taken by the tithingman (Cooper) to the station-house, and Lieutenant Carr or dered him to give - up his arms, which he did : they con sisted of a pistol, a swordstick, powder-cartridge, and five balls. The pistol was loaded. Norman Spencer, of Corfe Castle, went with the last witness to the station-house. On taking the pistol-balls in his hand, he asked the prisoner if it was one of the same sort that he had shot the poor fellow with. The prisoner said it was. Lieutenant Carr, Commander of the Preventive Station at Kimmeridge, said the prisoner was one of his officers on the 12th of April last. It was necessary that he should go armed, especially between Stoborough and the station house. Witness had desired the prisoner not to go out . unarmed. Some seizures of contraband spirits had been made through the prisoner's vigilanee, and threats of re venge had in consequence been held out to him, and this rendered it necessary that he should protect himself. The prisoner was not a passionate man in temper, but particu larly mild. Henry Everington, surgeon, of Wareham, attended Hall on the 12th of April, and up to the day of his death, which was the 19th ; he examined him after his decease in the presence of several medical men ; the ball had broken a rib, perforated the colon, lacerated the left kidney, passed through the abdomen, and lodged in the left side, just under the skin. Witness produced the ball, which he had no doubt was the cause of Hall's death. This was the case for the prosecution. For the prisoner several witnesses were called, who gave him an excellent character. A boatman, named George Vance, said Hall wished to quarrel with him on the 12th of April, shortly before the prisoner fired the pistol ; Hall called the witness by very offensive and indecent names ; on which witness requested the prisoner to come on, for Hall evidently wanted to pick a quarrel. _ _ Mr. Justice PATTgsoN, in summing up, clearly explained to the Jury the difference between murder and manslaugh ter ; and said, if they should be of opinion that the pri soner shot the deceased, not from malice prepqnse, but from sudden heat of blood, occasioned by provocation, that would reduce the crime to manslaughter ; but the circum stances of alleviation must be made out to their entire sa tisfaction. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Manslaughter. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that there certainly appeared to be some provocation in the case, but the crime was so close upon murder, that he felt it his duty to visit it with severe punishment. The prisoner seemed to have entertained a notion that if be was at any time molested, he might shoot a person as a matter of course ; but this was so horrible an opinion, that it could not be tolerated for a moment. If the prisoner had been found guilty of murder, then his (Mr. Justice Patteson's) duty would have been quite clear, and he could not have shrunk from it ; the. prisoner . must have been left for exe cution, without the slightest hope of pardon ; but a different verdict having been returned, the sentence of the Court was, that he be transported for the term of his natural life. NISI PIOUS COURT. • ; (Before Lord DENM'AN and a.gpeeial Jury.) DOE, DEM. WOLLASTONtV:,I3ARNES. The utmost anxiety has been created by this cause. Sir James Scarlett arrived here on Monday. The cause began on Tuesday morning, and continued till half-past ten at night, when the Court adjourned to eight o'clock next morn ing, and continued the whole of the day till eleven o'clock at night, when it was again adjourned to to-morrow morn ing (Thursday). HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, JULY 24. (Before Mr. Justice LITLLEDALE.) James Griffith, a Greenwich pensioner, aged 65, was indicted for a rape upon Jane Elizabeth Flory, a child under ten years of age, at Chatham. The day laid in the indict ment was 6th April. Mr. ESPINASSE stated the case, and called Jane Elizabeth Flory —Witness stated she lived with her father and mother at Rochester. Knew the prisoner, who lived at Fair-row, Chatham. On Sunday morning, 6th April last, she carried the prisoner his shirt. She stayed to dine with the prisoner's grandson, a little boy. After din ner she sat in a chair, reading a hymn-book. The prisoner came to her, told her to hold her tongue, and not to cry, and he would give her a halfpenny. She said she would tell her mother, on which he hit her • across her back with a rope, and made the little boy who was in the room look out of the window. The witness then detailed the parti culars. A woman knocked at the door, and she told the prisoner there was somebody at the door. He said, " Let them knock." Mrs. Douce came in to borrow a saucepan, and prisoner placed witness in his lap, and threw a towel over it. Mrs. Douce went away, and the prisoner then pushed witness out, and said he would thresh her the next time he saw her, if she told her mother. She did not tell her mother until the Thursday week after. Elizabeth Douce lived in the same house with the pri soner, and went to borrow a saucepan, and saw the girl sitting in the prisoner's lap : it was on Easter Sunday, March 30th, and not on 6th April ; she knew it was so, because she boiled a leg of pork on that day, and borrowed the saucepan for the potatoes. Mr. BonKxN, for the prisoner, took the objection of the d a y, but his Lordship ordered the case to proceed. Mrs. Flory stated that her child was nine years old last December. Witness did not discover anything the matter with her child until the 17th April. She then took her to a surgeon. Afterwards she went to the prisoner and threltened to take him up. He said he must stand the law's trial. She saw him again that evening, and told him the child's evidence was clear against him, but if he was agreeable to come to terms, she would make it up. He asked what terms. She said three pounds, and pay all ex penses. He said he had not the money, but would give a note for it under his hand. Another witness was called, who proved the mother's offer of compromise ; and the surgeon was also examined. , His LORDSHIP adverted to the doubt respecting the day, and said it was a very singular case, but it was clear the mother had made a handle of it to endeavour to get money from the prisoner. —Not Guilty. Thomas Hamond, a labouring man, aged 20, was in dicted for a rape on Mrs. Pegden, on the 19th March last. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Pegden, who was aged 43, and was the mother of twelve children, that as she was returning home from a visit to her mother, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, the prisoner seized her violently, and notwithstanding her repeated cries of murder and most vehement struggles, accomplished his pur pose. Two men came up who recognized the prisoner, and he made off. The prosecutrix was assisted home, imme diately told her husband, and the next day the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. CLARKSON, for the defence, endeavoured in vain to show that the man was insane. • The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and his Lordship after stating his entire concurrence in the verdict, passed sentence of execution, telling the prisoner he could hold out no hope of mercy to him. (CIVIL SlDE—Before Lord C. J. TINDAL.) NEAL V. HAYWARD. This was an action of slander by the plaintiff, a wine merchant at Tonbridge, against the defendant, a butcher, of the same place. The words complained of were, that the defendant said to a customer of the plaintiff in the middle of the market, on market-day, " I would advise you to take care what agreements you make•with Neal, for he will be sure to rob you as he has robbed me ;he is one of the biggest blacklegs in the country." Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, 'stated that he would have been - satisfied with an apology, but the defendant told the plaintiff's friend that he wanted to provoke the plain tiff to strike him, or else to bring an action, and he would repeat the words. Mr. Holman proved the words and the defendant's conduct. Mr. SHEA, for the defendant, contended that the words were not actionable, as they did not refer to the plaintiff's business. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said the Jury would deter mine whether the words did or did not refer to the plain tiff's mode of carrying on his business. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Five Pounds. ' MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DERBY, JULY 23. (Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.) William Spencer stood charged with cutting and maim ing John Henshaw, at Ilheston, with intent to murder him. William Cooper examined by Mr. VVHITEHURST.—Is a framework-knitter living at Heanor. Was at a beershop kept by John Smith at Ilbeston on Easter Monday last. Henshaw and W. Bostock were there ; ttielatter had on that day married Henshaw's sister. While witness was there Spencer and his wife came in. Prisoner complained of a toast that was given, and Cooper asked Henshaw if he kneW that young man; and whether he was married, Hen shaw said " Yes, and that is his wife," pointing to Spencer a nd the female who accompanied him. The Prisoner seemed vexed at being noticed, and became' quarrelsome, when the landlord or his son put him out of the house. Witness and Henshaw about eight in the evening went on towards' Bostock's, their way lying through a lane. While in the lane they saw the Prisoner, with another man, who had also been in the beerhouse. Prisoner said, Holloa, I think I know you," and Henshaw said, " Holloa, I think I know, you. Prisoner said " You are the very man I want to see ; you have had something disrespectful to sa y of me or my w if e ," w hi c h H ens h aw d en i e d . The prisoner then threw off his hat and coat and went up to Henshaw and struck him, when they fell in a ditch together, Henshaw uppermost. When Henshaw got out of the ditch he stood still by the side of the road. Prisoner went a short way up the lane, when he returned an d struck Henshaw, when they both fell down again. Prisoner's mother at this time came up, and said, " Holloa, Bill, what are you about ?" when she stooped as if to assist them. Henshaw said to witness, " Bill, take them off me, he is scratching or slashing my head off." Witness pulled the woman away, when Henshaw rose and ran towards a house wall as though he was senseless. He called to Cooper to come to him, and said, " I doubt he or they have killed me." Witness heard the gurgling of blood, and saw it flow on the ground in a great quantity. He was then conveyed to his sister's house, where his person was ex amined. There was a cut through the ear and across his neck, with several wounds on the head. Witness had seen the prisoner with a knife in the beershop in the act of cut ting some meat and bread. Cross-examined by Mr. HILDYARD—Did not see more than one or two blows struck, and they by the prisoner. Re-examined—Henshaw's neckcloth was cut through, also a bit of his collar and waistcoat. John Henshaw, the prosecutor, corroboratet the evidence of the preceding witnesses, and stated that when he was down he felt the prisoner cutting his neck and also his heal Was confined between a v;cek and a fortnight before he could get from his bed. James Robb is a surgeon's assistant, and. was called to see the prosecutor. Found him in a weak state froth much bleeding. There was a wound on the right side of the neck, three inches long, and a quarter of inch deep. There was one also on the back part of the bead, and another on the top of the head, extending in the form of a V an inch each way. Also a cut on the left car, it being divided in two. All the wounds appeared to have been cut with a sharp instrument, and the carotid artery might plainly be seen from one of them. He was in danger nine days, and is not perfectly recovered yet. The prisoner, in his defence, denied all knowledge of the crime, and called witnesses who swore that the prosecutor had used indecent language regarding his (the prisoner's) wife, and had in the first instance charged the prisoner's mother with having committed the offence. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death recorded. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoaK, Juts 23. (Before Lord LYNDHURST at Nisi Prius.) CRIM. CON.—WINTER V. ROOT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for a criminal conversation with his wife. After the case had proceeded for some time a conference took place between the Counsel on both sides. The result was, that a verdict was entered by consent for the plaintiff for 40s. Joseph Webb, convicted of manslaughter on Saturday last for administering " Morrison's Pills," was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The Learned JUDGE told him that the sentence was made under the consideration df the recommendation of the 'Jury, and the excellent character he got for tenderness and. humanity. A petition was last evening presented to Lord LYND.• lIURST in his favour, signed by 720 most respectable inha bitants of this city. The next cause, one of no interest whatever, was the last on the' list. Immediately on its being disposed of the Learned Judge rose, and the business of the Assizes ter minated ; an earlier conclusion than has been in this county for many years. The gentlemen of the long robe complain bitterly of the bad times. The Commission is to be opened at Durham on Saturday. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 24. IMPORTANT CASE.—William Glover, formerly a tailor and draper, was opposed by Mr. NicftoLLs on' the part of three persons named Cox, Stephens, and Frost. He was supported by Mr. COOKE. In this case an important point arose. The insolvent had been joint assignee With the opposing parties to the estate of Joseph Laurier, a bankrupt, and the creditors had received 16s. in the pound. The insolvent was chosen the acting assignee, and in that capacity h a d rece i ve d 2591. which he had not paid to the credit of the estate. In his schedule he admitted the debt, and had inserted his joint assignees. The question was whether they could oppose his discharge, inasmuch as no order had been made by the Court of Review. Mr. C OOKE argued that assignees were to be considered as partners, and, as one partner could not oppose another, neither could one assignee oppose another assignee. In this Court no opposition could be made except by a creditor. The parties who sought to oppose were not creditors. Had the Court of Bankruptcy made an order, the official assignee would have had a right to oppose. Mr. NIcHoLLs, contra, asked for the names of the parties for whom he appeared to -be struck out of the schedule if he was not allowed to oppose. It would be too much to obtain a discharge from their claims, and at the same time to deny the right of opposition. The point was argued at great length in presence of the Learned Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner Law. The Learned Commissioners differed in their opinion, the Chief Commissioner being against the opposition, and Mr. Commissioner Law for it. He could not see what right a party had to be discharged from a claim, and deny the cre ditor the right of opposing ; besides, it had been admitted that the parties could receive a dividend, but could not detain the party. The COURT were of opinion that the point was very im portant, and were desirous of having the decision of their Learned Colleagues now on Circuit. • The case stands adjourned for that purpose. The Learned CHIEF COIIMISSIONEIt, in the course of a case, impressed upon an insolvent the danger in which he was placed if he had concealed property, and he said he wished it was more generally known that if an insolvent concealed property to the amount of 20/. his discharge could be revoked, he would be recomm itt e d to prison, and be liable to a full remand of three years ; he could be in dicted with the persons who had colluded with him, and, if found guilty, sentenced to three years' imprisonment with hard labour. Indictments and convictions had taken place. In reference to subject the Learned Commissioner said he was fully convinced that in many instances imprison ment was the only thing that occasioned the restitution of property, and there was a good deal of false compassion entertained on the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN SQUARE. GINGER-BEER VENDERS.--Yesterday, John Sprocket was charged with assaulting and nearly half-drowning George Kershaw with ginger -beer under the following cir cumstances : It appeared that both parties were itinerant venders of ginger-beer at id. per bottle, and that they both occupied stands near each other at Hyde Park-corner. Two of a trade can seldom agree is an old adage, and it was fully exemplified in this case. The complainant's ginger -pop drew rather more customers than his rival's, and the con tinued pop, pop, pop, which rang in the ears of the de fendant, quite distracted him. On Saturday last, when the complainant was serving his numerous customers, the de fendant armed himself with three bottles of ginger -beer, which, without the slightest provocation, be fired in the complainant's face, at the same time abusing him with the most approbious epithets. War being now declared, the ginger-beer flew in all directions, the firing lasted some time, and the complainant had evidently got the worst of it, being completely drenched in ginger -beer, and covered with foam. Several witnesses were called, who spoke to the heavy fire that was kept up with the ginger -beer, and as it was evident that the defendant was the aggressor, the Magis trates fined him ss. for the assault. ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—John _King was charged with having thrown Moses Nash, a police constable of the B division, into the Thames. Nash stated that on Monday evening he was on duty at Milbank. A rowing match bad taken place that afternoon, and several persons having assembled in a disorderly man ner, he had just taken the prisoner's brother into •custody, when he was surrounded by twenty or thirty persons, men and women, and his prisoner was rescued from him. King and several others then seized witness and threw him into the Thames. Several witnesses corroborated this statement, and the Magistrates ordered the defendant to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. THAMES POLICE. FREAKS OF A SAlLOR.—Yesterday a north-country sailor, named William Hall, belonging to a Newcastle collier, was charged, under very singular circumstances, with creating a disturbance in the shop of Mr. William Coucher, hairdresser, in High-street, Shadwell, and break ing a quantity of property belonging to him. Mr. Coucher stated that on the preceding night, about nine o'clock, a cab drove up to hii door, and the prisoner, whom he had sever seen before; jumped out, and pointing to witness,:said,,," Here he Asir avo will 'stop here?' He shook hands with witness, as if he had been an old acquaint ance, and nearly dislocated his arm. He then desired the cab-driver to bring two jars and a large box out of the cab into the shop. After that was done the sailor began to cut: all manner of capers : he smeared the lather over a customer he was about to shave, upset the chairs and blocks, pulled down the curtains, broke several bottles of eau de cologne, and smashed a washing bason. After playing his antics for some time, he pulled off his clothes and laid down on the floor of the shop, declaring that he had got into a good berth, and meant to remain where he was all night. Witness went out and procured the aid of a policeman, and he ordered him to search the prisoner, but nothing was found upon him, and he was then dressed and conveyed to the station-house. Musgrove, a police sergeant, said the prisoner played off the same antics at the station-house, where he broke down the door of the cell, and roared out lustily for grog. The boxes and jars contained mouldings and other things used by carvers and gilders in their trade. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence, and where he had obtained the property in question ? The prisoner said he was not only a sailor but a carver and gilder, and when the ship was in port he was in the habit of working at his trade. The goods he had pur chased in Holborn, where he hired the cab ; but why he took a fancy to a barber's shop he could not tell, but he supposed it was owing to his being half-seas over. Mr. Coucher said the cabman drove off without his fare, and he had no doubt the sailor had been robbed by him. The Sailor—Your Honour, I have been done out of two pounds' worth of leaf gold. The Captain of the ship said that he was an honest fel low, and the best seaman on board. Mr. BALLANTINE ordered him to pay for the damage he had done to Mr. Coucher's property, which would exhaust all the wages he had to receive foi the run. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Still_ ther_ are persons, not puritanical, who think it derogatory, female delicacy to meet the gaze of spectators in ° to ' passioned parts. This objection, I grant, may apply to private theatricals. The unprofessional actress, who m at e and returns love-speeches, before an audience, is have no better motive than her vanity. But the Pu b 1 .. actress has a fair apology, and her professional publicity P an additional challenge to her virtuous pride. We ' cline' times hear the player's vocation pronounced degracliag2 because it exposes him to public insults ; but this is e on r tainly a most unfair argument, at least when it comes fr those who frequent the theatre. By attending such enter tainments, they recognize the player as a dispenser of ju no, cent amusement ; an, when they insult him, merely cause he fails to please, they are, no doubt, obliging, t hy actor to play a degrading vocation ; but if cru elty and ;, justice be disgraceful, they are also d egra di ng thernsei v : o . Either it should be proved that the s t age i s nox i o us te;it ciety, and • that it should therefore be abolished, or, be tolerated, the player's occupation should be mad e respectable as possible by good treatment. Even if it'svr o admitted, for the sake of argument, that there is sometht o in the actor's life (that something I leave to others ascertain) which necessarily tends to imp ress f au lts oil b b, moral character, still what profession can be named ivil ic a if it finds any weaknesses in the nature o f a man , Will n- • tend to increase them and bring them ? All profess i l tend, more or less, to stamp us something peculiar , I v not always with amiable peculiarities. Yet society honours several professions for their general us eftiln b o r o though they labour under this objection. To give the one instance : the world very properly holds t t t barrister's calling in high respect ; fo r we know t" life and property would be less secure . than 174 now are, if every man were to be his own lawyer. An",„ 6 ". it is notorious, that the lawyer's life, which makes Pio daily and hourly a hireling either on the r ight side or wrong side of a cause, as his brief may chance to can In : must tend to imbue his mind with a taste for sophistrY, well as with adroitness in the practice of it.

The great Emperor was a man formed i n qu it e s diP feint mould from those who flourished in our days. knew how to manage men, and to gain the affection of t e soldiers. With him no speciou s a pp earance o f zea l for t service had any effect with ou t th e rea li ty . I s h a ll nec er o . forget when I first saw him, after the battle of Heilsb er° on the 2d of June 1807, where he reviewed our trool o : every word he spoke was full of meaning, and he e°,' scendingly attended to the most minut e d e t a il s ; he wly slowly in front along our, lines, and exam i ne d i n divide the muskets and accoutrements, to be convinced by P e o f j sonal inspection that every thing was effi c i en t an d in g ° order. He commanded several private s oldi ers t o step 0 10 ward in front of the ranks, and demanded their knapss e cio unpacked them himself, to be certain that no thi n g was ficient, and that the contents, corresponded with the in c L tory. He then caused several men to discharge their T; arms, to ascertain that they al s o were i n goo d condi t io The only thing he censured was, that the men carried other shoes but those on their f ee t, an d i mme di ate ly C ei t ' manded an aide-de-camp, in th e mos t peremptory tea.n°-t; to cause six thousand pairs t o b e d e li vere d the next Ol io the troops.
