we do not pretend to know, but we do know that there has been full time to prepare a 13i11 which did not essentially differ from the former one ; and we also know that the delay, coming from whatever cause it may, is exceedingly prejudicial to the inte rests of the country,—Morning Herald. The Opposition, and their t0..01a) tha , Anti-Reform Journals, are in a prediearneett, tom old habit, :hay do not like to let -p:o good thing when they one, each hold of ite and the report of a change of because it was connectd 31inicry was a good thing , with the hope of coming at other good thines, whieh they know from past experience how to rep ;elate. But this rumour—of which to do thetn justice, t h e y ma de the most while it lived—is now dead. Yet they will not allow it to be buried in peace and quietness. They hang over its dear remains, thhy watch its bewhching countenance, in (':en hope that it will open its beautiful wide saVouth once more to give utterance to the downfall of the \Vhig Admi nistration. To droo enetreinor, however, and come to fact, the Antisßeform Journals, fouling that the report has been contradicted in the mart .. - aaations tray by the continuance of Ministeen in office, have hit upon the notable expedient of postporeng the re pert sine die, but with a positive undertekirig that it shoji be renewed ; as if they expected that the dis grace of one falsehood could be obviated by the pro mice of another. To us, and to that large portion of the community who agree with us in caring neither for Whig nor Tory, the remeeal of the 'present nni,ters from office ‘votrld h.' a matter of very little interest, if it did net involve the post ponement—for it is absutqlo talk of the defeat—of the measure of Reform. Independently of the wish we have to see Reform . accomplished, for the sake of Reform itself, we are also desirous of its success, to avoid the consequences likely to follow even from its postponement. There are had spirits at work and there are honest ones, who, without the same intention, are producing the same effect, by tell trn lag the public mind at this crisis. Tt:e opinion of both seems to be that the people are cooling, and require to be kept in a state of excitement ; but those who think so honestly, and veth honest viewe, would soon find reason to change their tone on the first intimation of a triumph on the part of the borough mottgers. That trial will, we hope, be spared to us all. Rumours of cesignations may keep one party filet spirits ; but we trt st that, until the question of Reform has been settled ,in the only way that can ever afford satisfaction, tha party will be content with the exercise of its inventive powers, and leave to the people and a truly Referraing Admini-nottien the less fanciful enjovretent of car: yieg the Dice inn) effect.—Merning Herald. Unioes are now the order of the day. Throuehout England, ts-cientl, and Scotland, hut more especially Scotland, they are to be found every where. The Glasgow Ercning Psi of Sa turday last, observes that " Political Unions are springing up rapidly in every town and village in the country, and if they hold on at the se rne ta t e far a few weeks, there will rot he a piece found where the people will not have associated togetht r for the purpose of first obtaining their rights, and then renovating the corrupt and anthpia ed institu tiens of the country." If we may judee from the account of the formation of the Kilmarnock Union, the Magistrates COWenance them, for we see that three Justices of the Peace, Colonel Macalistcr, of Kennox, Captain 'Patrick, and Mc. Packer, of As,- loss, not only attended, but signed fhe hand of Union. The question as to the expediency of Unions may therefore be said to be decided ; for the objections to them have been: universally scouted. Indeed, We have never heard one argument against thein which would be deemed of the least ,veight by a serious Reformer, though of course to anti cr nominal Reformers no argument in their favour will be palatable. Till the Reform Bill be carried (and accidents may prevent its being soon carried), the people cannot for one moment afford to be off their guard. " It has been objected to Unions," says the ReOfrett- Aire Reformer. " that they would controul the Legi slature ; and that, if the Legislature were chosen by the people, this ought not to be the case. To this we would answer shortly, that if the Legislature be not chosen by the people, the great use of these Unions would be, first, ohtain possession of that power which is unjustly held, and then their continued existence would be necessary for the purpose of keeping it. The Legislature ought either to be suhservitnt to the will of the people, or it ought not. If the Legislature rule the people without controul, then the people are subjected to tyranny. On the other hand, if the Legislature be the servant of the people, it follows as a loaner of course that the people Lave a right to controul it in any. manner which they may see most advantageous far their own interust ; and of all the modes by which this can be effected, we know of none equal to that of String universally and indissolubly united together ; in fact, the advantages of union for the attainment of any object are so obvious, that reasoning on the subject is un necessary, far man and even the inferior animals inherit that knowledge by instinct. Our countrymen, in this re spect, have at last broken through the trammels which bound them as the tools of an insignificant oligarchy. They have at last taken the high road which is certain to lead to their own freedom and that of their posterity ; and we firmly trust that nothing will drive than from the pith. Let them ever resist any attempt to disunite them, with treater firmness than they would do an attempt to deprive them of the Reform Bill. And, we again repeat, let the people only universally and indissolubly unite as they are at present doing, and, in defiance of Peers, bo toughrm.ngers, and Bishops, they will soon be the gover nors of Britain." ti has been said, you have a King favourable to Reform—you have a "Ministry pledged to Reform-- you have a House of Commons, which, by a large majority, is also devoted to Reform ; why not then repse confidence in the King, his Ministers, and the house of Cemmons ? But, without taking into account the possibility of changes of opinion, we, have to observe, that life is held by an uncertain tenure, and various accidents may occur by which the fate of the Bill may be affected. The object of the Ueions is to ensure Reform, happen what may. If Reform be carried without delay, well and good; but if any unforeseen difficulty occur, the Unions bring the force of a united people instantly to bear on -the depositaries of power. They destroy one great motive for the intrigues of the Anti-Re formers, for the accidents On which the intriguers found their hopes would cease to benefit them.— By union and organization they are prepared for the worst ; and no enemy can undertake arty thing of importance before their sense can be collected. Will it be said, that after the extraordinary delay which has taken place, the people are not justified in taking all possible precaution against acci dents? Delay is attended with the worst possible consequences to the country. All business is at a stand. In Paisley alone, the number of persons connected with weavine, out of work, , ccording to a census, was about 3,000 the week before last ; in this number are riot included the dyers and others connected with the staple manufacture of the place. Men cannot c nneen tra te their attentio n on th e i r busi ness they are called off every moment to par ticipate in county, district, and parish meetings, to say nothing of the various Unions necessary for fur thering Reform and guarding against confusion. Nli oisters must be aware of the great detriment caused by the continuance of agitation, w hite, at the same time, they must know that the continuance of agita tion is necessary to the success of Reform. We ask, then, any man possessed of common sense, if he Can suppose for a moment Ministers would riot in stantly proceed with the Bill, in order to put a stop to the distress occasioned by agitation to the country, if there were not serous difficulties of some kind or other in their way ? To suppose that they would ask for one hour's delay longer than could be avoided , is to suppose them d est i tute of all sympathy with the people, and utterly indiffe rent to their welfare. The people then, are forced on the conclusion, that Ministers are not prepared for the crisis, and from some means or other feel themselves unable to move. The people must believe them either lukewarm or embarrassed. There are but two constitutional courses open to them—the crea tion of fresh Peers, or the proceeding with out the Peers ; and it does not surely require months to decide betrreim these cotases—one of which must be adopted. How can the people not have these mi.givings when they do not see appear= ances even of proceeding to the rites'iis necessary for carrying the Refonn till into effect ? As to the koTtest - el gaining on the Peers, we hold that to be pure delusion. With men in their hearts sworn foes to Reform, there can be no safe concert. What they have done once thty will do again if they hove the opportunity. At all events, it would be reel' to confole in them. No set of mo•ii,be their previous character whet it might, are entitled, under such eiertfeestances, to ask a nation under such cif cumstances, to repose full confidence in ttee 'as surances of INlinistete that they P63itl , S the means of carrying the Bill. If they possess the means, why prostestinate ? A nation's interests are or too much importance, to be exposed to the risk of acci dents; and of this the people must know :Knitters themselves to be well aware.----.- Chronicle. A Council ;1; is ;aid, to be held on Monday next, feet t.xing the time to which Parliament shall 'oe prorogued. From all that we can learn, re are afraid it is not intended that Parliament shall meet in the .beginning of December. This its really tri'Ai'eg with the patience of the nation, If Ministers see their way, it tanttot surely be necessary to delay proceeding esith the till till after the new year. Theta is nothing that can be done then, that cannot he eTtally well done now. As to the alleged diffi culty of obtaining the attendance of Members, this cannot surely be seriously urged. The House of Commons possessee the fieans of enforcing atten dance ; and !.sembeiet would not surely be so beetith, as to resent such compulsion, by voting con trary to their pledges and their former . ecteee. The anxiety of the country and the eeenger of delay ought surely far to ow weigh Any considerations of personal indelgetree. Ministers must be perfectly aware of their situation ; and we should suppose they would be anxious not to incur the responsib ilit y or the ad verse accidents which delay nosy engender. The vtry doubts and feats which delay will suggest to the people can hardly fail to lead to mischievous result. If they possess the power, to decide on the steps to he taken can surely be a matter of little difficulty. We confess we drea d a lengthened' protogation above all things ; and we are sure that advantage will be teken of it. Among public writers throughout the country there is but one opinion on the subject of the tickle, and timee writers are nearly the cream of the universal feel".g. " As very closely connesslsel With this subject (says Mr. Colsbett, in his n,g;ster of this day ), I insert an account of the: proceedines at s meeting of the Council of the Me tropolitan Polities] 'Mien. I beg my readers to psty at tention to the wirde of the report of tlioSe proceedings, particularly to what is; contained in the speech of Mr. Place. lie there tells us that be hears from good autho rity (aril I h s lieve his authority to be good), that Parlia ment not assemble very speedily, and that he was so r ry to say the 'Ministers wore uncommonly anxions for its meeting at a ellstant day. Now, I believe Mr. Place to speak the truth here ; road if lie do speak the b tab, this wish of the Nlinisters indicates one of two thiege— insincerity, or want of power. Insincerity, in being de r •rtnined to propose a not so good for the people as the last ; or want of power to carry the Bill they intend to propose : fear to face the people, or fear to face the bo roushniongers. I defy any man living, who is at once sensible and sincere, to come to any other conclusion. The Ministers well know the horrible state into which the country has been plunged : they well know that every body is anxiously looking for relief from this state ; they know equally well that all but the beroughinongers and the cormorants of various descriptions are looking to the passim; of the Refutes Bill as the means of relief. They swell know that their silence as to the intended Bill has excited the strongest suspicions with regard to their inten tions ; they see themselves daily sinking in public estima tion, in constqlence of the rumours arising out of this state of uncertainty. They must be the most unfeeling creatures that ever breathed, not to wish for relief from this degraded situation; and, therefore, if they do not wish for a speedy meeting of Parliament, it is impossible to believe that they mean to propose the same Bill again, or anything like it, or that they think that they shall be able to carry the Bill, or anything that they intend to pro pose." Again, the Dublin Evening Post received yes terday says : " But, when the Globe talks of the hypothetical ' pos sibility'—that is the word--of rejecting the Reform Bill again, we can only say we wish we could share in our con temporary's confidence as to its ultimate success. We doubt exceedingly the policy of encouraging hopes which may, by possibility, be signally disappointed. Previously to the discussion in the House of Lords, similar hopes were che rished and propag ated, and when one hundred and ninety nine of their Lor dships raid not-content to the demands of a powerful and united people, we are told more emphati cally and loudly than ever to hope on. And so we do. But really although the indulgence of this passion be very delightful, there is something more upon which reasonable men ought to rely. Well, hut then we have that also, it will be replied. There are county and city meetings in abUndance—there has been the Cambridgeshire election, and the re-election of Sir John Key to the Mayoralty of London. We are not amongst those who at the time un der-rated these demonstrations of public feeling. We never considered them farces ; and we hope that the Tories will have good reason to feel that the popular opinion expressed through ccunty and city meetings is a substantive power with which it is in vain for horouglimongery to contend. But notwithstanding all these exhibitions of the public will, if they he not followed up by the Ministry, in the only effectual manner in which they avail —namely, by taking prompt advantage of the present tendency of the pubic mind, by convening Parlia ment, and creating Peers, the people will he throws back on their own resources. One of these resources is an ar mament—not against the Government—as appears to be insinuated—not even against the Tories, as has been broadly stated, but against such mobs as devastated Bristol —against those minor ruffians, which the great ruffian from the Tory camp is now organising, not only against property, but against the King's sacred person. We confess we do not see any danger to the State in these mi litary combinations, in these British Volunteers, hut, on the contrary, strength and security. We do not pretend to say that Government or the parochial authorities have failed in the performance of their duty, but we do say the sooner Government and the authorities under them take the matter up, the better it will he for the country. We, for our own parts, would wish that Government would undertake the initiative. For we are well aware that arms might be used for a bad purpose as well as a good one. We would desire that the Commissions should issue from the King, and that the military arrangement should he placed under the guidance of accountable agents, because we %Arnold above all things deprecate any disunion between the Government anti the People. But we should deprecate, at the same time, most emphatically, at the pre sent moment any armed intervention with armed Associa t•iations composed, as they must be, of persons of sub stance and respectability." Surely a Ministry who are proposing a measure to give effect to public opinion will not be the first to set an example of slighting public opinion, and wrapping themselves up in the notion of the neces sity of all other considerations giving way to the implicit confidence to which they are entitled. — Morning Chronicle. Few weeks pass without supplying indications of the defective constitution of the Police Magistrates of this great metropolis; and having regard to the glaring manifestation of unsound judgment, ill temper, and imbecility of understanding on the part of the Justices, so constantly recurring at the seve ral offices, it is impossible to resist the impression that the salaries are inadequate to procure for this department of the public service men capable of performing its functions with the requisite ability arid discretion; that there are some circumstances connected with the office which prevent r e spectable members of the profession from seeking it, or that the Minister by whom the app ointments have been made have bestowed them wi t h a ver y culpable indifference to the intellectual qualities of the men a ppointed. We are induced to make these observa tions from noticing a case reported in the Chronicle of Thursday, which occurred at Bow-street ; not that the conduct of the Magistrates may deserve the application in all the severity and exte7 the terms of animadversion which we have just em. ployed, but there is still enough in their proceed ings to alarm any inhabitant of London, who re flects that he may be subject to a restraint of his personal liberty, more or less prolonged, and to all the annoyance and expence of a public trial, by the indiscretion of one of these gentlemen. The case to which we refer is, that in which a respectable gentleman 0/FiS bind ged 'DY a common woman of the town with having stolen her watch three years ago. The gross improbabilities of the story are, one should think, such as must strike the weakest un derstanding. What should tempt a man, placed, above the necessity of, want s to tte,al which t , by the tel',ort o•i the woman, it appeared, Was no't deemed a sufficient security for eleven • pounds by a pawnbroker, especially, as in order to I obtain the opportunity of committing the theft, the supposed Offendor paid, in tl - te shape of a gra tuity to the lady, a sum of thirty shillings bento fasten the criminality upon the accused le man, who protested he had never seen the woman before, there is not a single corroborating circum stance. On the contrary., he has been constantly resident in . - ondon 'Since the date of the supposed transaction, and in the constant habit of frequenting places of public amusement. The whole case rests upon the simple affirmation of the woman, who might, for aught that appears to the contrary,, have attributed the concubitus and lartety tc "t*,n'y of Worships-, with e'S!ua!, f:r4ri':ltj , as io the unfortunate entletiit'm on whom she fixed. Yet did Mr. Min shull hesitate even as to whether he should admit him to bail ; and does then this sapient Justice core ceive himself bound a, a Magistrate to commit for trial any respectable individual against whot - si a plo stitute shall aller att inter nurse with le r and the rrlOinihg of a trinket, although no single circum stance to show even the fact of the intercourse having taken place may appear? If this be law,. if we hold our liberties by no surer t'...:nurC, than the regard for vert'atit'y entertained by the sisterhood of the stews, the boast of English freedom is but a hollow sound. Gravely speaking, then, we say it is riot to be tolerated that a Magistrate should remain upon the bench who is so ill-inf&ed or the proper province e..nd objects of a conservative police, as to suppose that a woman, who takes to her home and bed the first stranger she meets, can challenge for the property which she thus exposes, the same pro tection which it is the duty of the State.to extend to individuals exercising . the drdiiaaiy prudence which the law tray aid, but never ought to supersede.— Morning Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLB OR 0U G S TREE T. Yesterday Mr. John Joseph Stockdale, the publisher of " Harriet Wilson's Memoir!," attended at this office, and complained that a report, calculated to do very serious in jury to his character, had appeared under the head of "111arlhoroughestreet," on the previous day, in the Times Newspaper. Mr. Stockdale here read the report to which he had alluded, and which was as follows " Mr. Stephen Smith, one of the inspectors of the L division of police, waited upon Sir George Farrint and Mr. Conant, for the purpos; of asking their advice under the following circumstances. He stated that a letter (of Which the following is a copy—'Stockdale has just printed a shilling book under the title of Mad Houses.' Its contents being such as cannot escape notice, the sooner you notice it the better, especially as your name is so con spicuous in the new volumes of a Hariet Wilson')—had been sent to a gentleman of distinction residing at the west end of the town, who had placed it in his (Mr. Smith's) hands, in order that the opinion and advice of the Ma gistrates might he had upon it. Sir George Fat rant said that he bad lately seen several letters similar to the one produced by Mr. Smith. The object of the e riter was evidently to extort money ; but as the letter in question had no signature attached to it, the Magistrates could not afford the applicant any advice as to what course lie should pursue in the business," " I," continued Mr. Stockdale, " have no fault to find with the Times; on the contrary, I feel exceedingly obliged to the persons connected with that publication for having done me the justice to insert the report, as they have thereby afforded me an opportunity of publicly vindicating my character, and set me upon my guard against a secret enemy. Now, Sir, Ido hope that you will, as an act of Justice, put me in possession of the name of the person of distinction whom Mr. Inspector Smith represented." Mr. Con.iter—You cannot but be aware, Mr. Stock dale, that you have no legal tight to ask for information upon a matter which forms the subject fur a private com munication made to the Magistrates by an individual who was not upon his oath. Mr. Stockdale—The letter intimates that if some ar raneement he not made between the printer a it work called Mad Howes and the person to whom the letter is addressed, the latter may expect his name to be made con spicuous in that work. Now I, wi,hout hesitation or disguise, declare myself to be the printer and publisher of the publication called Mad Houses, but to neither of the two persons whose conduct is so properly exposed there, not to any other individual, did I ever write a letter of the description of the one which has been published in the Times. What, in the mine of Heaven, has a police constable to do with such ma tters? What right hail Inspector Smith to make an application to a Magistrate concertling the obnoxious letter ? Why could not the gentleman to whom it was addressed have made the appli cation in his own person ? Mr CoNANT—I cannot inform you ; nor can I in any way itttetfere in the matter of which you complain. Mr. Stockdale—l ant perfectly aware that I have ren dered myself disagreeable to many perecne, because I have lal:oured to expose vice to the censure of the world There are a set of miscreants who prowl about seeking whom they shall destroy. They insinuate themselves into the favour and confidence of kind ant' unsuspecting men, and afterwards tsetify their gratitude by the seduction of a beloved wife or a darling child. These are the reptiles with whom I make war. Mr. CONANT--I beg you will desist. Mr. Stockdale— Excuse me, Sr ; these are matters of great public inte rest. I have the gratification to know that I have done a great deal of good by the works that I have published, and I consider myself entitled to the gratitude of the public. Mr. CONANT—Officer, bring forward the next case. Mr. S , oclittile— Am Ito h ive no re dress, Sir ? Mr. CONANT--It is not in my power to afford you any. Mr. Stockdale—l have had the advice of Counsel, and shall certainly commence legal proceed in, sin another place. Mr. Stockdale then left the office, evidently much dose satisfied at the result of his application. HAT T ON- GARDEN. Yesterday Charles Kemp, alias the Hon. James Kemp, was brought up for re-examination on various charges of swindling, wle n the office was crowded to excess by jet , / cllers, tailors, boot and shoe makers, &c., and the greatest interest was manifest on the occasion, nut only on the part of those who had to prefer charges against the prisoner, but numbers who were actuated by curiosity. At twelve o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar, by Waddington, the gaoler, attired in the habiliments as on his first appearance. Mr. Collins, the jeweller and engraver, of Piccadilly, was called forward and sworn ; but preparatory to his having his former evidence read over, the prisoner said— " Your Worship, I beg to state that I have consulted with a professional gentleman, who, I find, is not in attendance, and, consequ , ntly, I ant quite unprepared, in hie absence, to meet any charges that may be brought against me." Mr. ROGERS seid, that he, the prisoner, was aware of the time appointed for the examination, and he could have provided himself with necessary assistance. He ordered the case to proceed. Prisoner—Then prior to the charge of Mr. Collins against me, allow me to object to his evidence. I can as sure your worship that Mr. Collins, in the presence of Mr. Tetsal, made me a most solemn pledge that he would not prosecute me if I delivered up to him the duplicates of the property pledged. Mr. Collins denied that he did so. Mr. Tetsal here stepped forward, and stated positively that the prisoner's representation was correct ; and he, Mr. Tetsal, could swear that Mr. Collins did promise not to prosecute, if the duplicates were given up to him by the prisoner, on which he delivered them to him. Mr. Roe Cuts 401(1 him that be would send the prisoner before the Judges for trial ; and if he (Mr. Tetsal) thought proper, he might attend, and state what he knew of the transaction. Edward Woods, apprentice to Mr. Need, pawnbroker, of Bridge-street, Lambeth, stated that the prisoner pledged the watch (now produced) at his master's shop on the 7th of November,—the value being 25/. Mr. Collins identified the property. Mr. William Iteggetts, of 45, Dover-street, Piccadilly, son to the proprietor of Raggett's Hotel, deposed that the prisoner called at his father's hotel on the morning of the sth of November, and inquired whether he could have a suite of apartments. He was shown a sitting and bed room., elegantly furnished, of which he approved, and agreed to enter immediately. Mr. Rot - Atm—What did he represent himself to be? Mr. Raggett—He represented himself to be the " Hon. James Kemp," that he had lately returned from Bombay, and his luggage was at the docks. Mr. ROGERS—How did the prisoner leave the house? Mr. Raggett—There is a door leading from the bed-room into the hall, through which the prisoner left with the property calmly, as if nothing particular had happened. The hair-dresser was with him when Mr. Collins came, and was heating his tongs preparatory to curling the pri soner's hair, when he escaped, and both the barber and jeweller were impatiently waiting the return of the " Hon. Gentleman," until they were informed that he had gone out. Thomas Beckett, pawnbroker, deposed that the diemond ring was pledged at his master's shop in Werdour-street, Soho, on the sth of November. Mr. R aome s—Who pledged it with you? Witness— Why really I can't swear to that ; the prisoner's brother is in the outer office, and the resemblance in every respect between them is so striking, that I cannot take upon my self to swear to the prisoner. Mr Roo efts theu ordered Mr. Collins and the other witnesses to be bound over to prosecute the prisoner for ,‘ feloniously stealing the property." Mr. Mopsey, boot-maker, of No. 11, Southampton-row , Holborn, deposed that a waiter from Raggctt'a Hotel called on and requested him to attend upon the " Hon. James Kemp" to measure him for a pair of boots. He called and did so, and took the boots home, on which the prisoner trid them on and said, " Leave your account." Witness replied that he always expected payment on delivery of the goods. " Irrieed," said the prisoner; " I have no ready cash about me, what shall I do?" Witness said he would rather decline leaving the boots. Theprhist naty oier affected surprise, and said , " What! do you doubt honour ?" Having the boots on his feet, he (witness) had ho other alternative than to accede to his request to accompany him to Islington, where he knew a friend, who ‘lviiolgutlodn,ad xvdked fo accommodate l mor upwardsney.He anwe'efnt to ho l u s ; 48 when he entered a gentleman's house, and kept witness 46 h a lf an hour waiting for him in the street. He returned ee 4 4 : wanidtaesahe should be a apologized, saying i ll . was He in disappointed, mr e d witness b u t that assured h e 5 ' 2 had fought a duel, and had wounded his antagonist, and 47 43 he ought to be out of the ceuntty. He at last offered him 47 a cheque fur 25/, signed " Lieutenant Aubrey," and said 45 it would be cashed at a banker's in Angel-court, Throg -46 morton-street ; but on going there no such person was 46 known. Oa searching his porttnanteau it was discovered 48 46 to be full of shavings. 58 A master tailor, of Bishopsgate-street, deposed, that on 44 ate the 18th of Octobe r the p risoner called u p on him, and re -44 presented himself as Lieutenant Campbell, and ordered a ^ naval jacket (which he now had upon his back), which he let him have on a " promise to pay." lie left his old jacket and ordered it to be sent to the Bull Inn, Bishops- gate•street. (The old jacket was here produced; and cer tain!y appeared the worse for wear.) Mr ROGERS—I am afraid you and Mr. Nlopsey Went too far, and the cases are not sufficient to prosecute. Tailor—My motive in coming forward is to - expose the prisoner; but I thought your worship might have the power to order the jacket now on the prisoner to be restored to me, and I will let him have his own in return. Mr. Rooms ordered the prisoner to take off the jacket. The prisoner, evidently abashed and astounded, felt his pockets, arid hesitated,: while the smiles of those who sun. rounded him operated as an annoyance. With amazing re luctance, hut in confused haste, he unbuttoned t'. and he emphatically ezclahned, while tears started eyes, " I'll certainly take it off. I may ha'te acted gentlemen, but I will ❑ot I.e made a laughing He did take it off, and received his own, which Mr. Mopsey—ll I let him have his old shoes, ship, perkily; you'll order him to return my boots. Mr. BOGERS—No, no; you have pursued enough. Mr. Maynard, an East India went; .gated th sonar called on him, and represented himself aS _ Aileton.

Mr. Rocras inquired whether there were any othet charges against the prisoner ?

A report, as our readers know, was current, and was very generally believed, about this middle of this weeks that his Majesty had peremptorily refused to adopt the advice of his present Ministers with re spect to a large and immediate increase of the Peer age, and that in consequence of this refusal Esrl Grey and his colleague, had tendered their resigna tion, sVnich the King had been graciously pleased to accept. To the whole of this rumour we never yielded our errire belief. That part of it which re lated to the determination of the King we had good reason to think ptohable, and, if it had stood alone, should perhaps have been unable to resist the evi dence by which it seemed to be supported. But when to this was added the statement that the Ministers had resigned in consequence of his Majesty having rejected their counsel, we felt, like most other persons, that the story was one which compre hended so much of the improbable and unnatural as to require the most direct and positive testimony to entitle it to any eredi , . Recollecting that Earl Grey had once, itt the reign of George the Third, offered to retain a high place in the Administration et that expence of character and consistency which is implied in the withdrawing of advice offered to the Sovereign upon a subject admitted by all to be of greet importance, and viewed by the Noble Earl himself as of the greatest—at that expence of ho nour and integrity which must be incurred when a Minister withdraws from Parliament a measure of the utmost value in his declared estimation, which he had introduced under a misconception of the Royal will, and carried nearly to its completion— recellecting, we say, that Earl Grey had once been desirous of retaining office at this vast expence, of all that gives value and respectability to political character, we could scarcely bring ourselves to be lieve that an Administration of which he is the head was likely to dissolve upon any difference of , opinion whatever, however important the subject, between its members and their Royal Master, which had riot yet been brought distinctly and offi cially under public view. It appears that our die. trust of the rumour, so far as it related to the resig nation of Ministers, was well founded. They are yet in office, and nobody, so far as we can find, pre tends that their resignation either was or would have been refused. It is now said, however, by the Mi nisterial Journal (the Globe) that " the reports which have been circulated respecting the King's refusal to consent to a large creation of Peers are, like the rumours of a change of Ministry, without any founda tion." Upon this flat contradiction we have a few words to say. As what passes in the King's closet cannot be matter of positive assertion, or even of au thentic knowledge, to any but members of the Cabi net,who are bound to silence by their duty and their oaths, the truth or falsehood of the reports as to the King's refusal can only be gathered by inference from collateral facts. Now the facts in which the reports originated were and are still strongly in their favour, the reports being unlike " the rumours of a change of ]‘linistry" in this, that they present no inherent imprcbability. It is a fact that the journals most in the interest and the favour of the Administration had for some days previous to the reports in ques tion been constantly urging the necessity of a large and immediate creation of Peers, as the only step by which Ministers could hope to preserve the con fidence of the Reform party in the country. It is a fact that three days before the reports were first heard the Lord Chancellor went to Brighton, and sought an interview with the King, for the purpose, as was insinuated repeatedly by the same journals, of impressing upon his Ma. jesty the immediate necessity of this step. It is a fact, that on the occasion of this visit to Brighton the Lord Chancellor had not the offer, or, if, he had the offer, did not accept it, of the ordinary hospitality of the Royal Palace. It is a fact that, immediately after the return of the Lord Chancellor from Brighton, the leading Journal in the interest of the Administration burst out into most irreverend and unseemly expressions of disappointment and re• proach and menace towards the King :—" Should the opposition to decisive measures rest with a Great Personage, let the merit, if it be a merit (and, if not, his Majesty will soon be made aware of it) — let the merit of a refusal to carry Reform through the House of Peers rest upon the proper shoulders." The report of the King's refusal to make Peers may have been without any solid foundation ; but, as a matter of probable inf rence from the foregoing facts, we still think the chances are greatly in favour of their truth. It would be saying little for the argument in this case to maintain merely that it is werth more than the naked contradiction, for in fair and candid reasoning the contradiction is itself but another fact in the case, which imparts new breadth and solidity and coherence to the foundation upon Which the argument is built. A Ministry which had made no unsuccessful attempt upon the mind of the King would probably permit the unfounded ru mour of its failure to die the natural death of all unfounded tumours. The - Ministry, on the con trary, which knew that it had tried and been re pelled, and which was yet determined to cling to place, ould naturally intimate to its adherents that it had not tried, and had not been repelled. The contradiction of the Globe to the rumour of the Mi nisterial repulse is good as an intimation that the re pulse is to be endured, and good for little else; just as the Lord Chancellor's dinner at the Pavilion next Sunday will chew simply that his Lordship's exclusion from the Royal table last week is, in his opinion, no good reason for giving up the Seals. - I I Morning Post. nt of OX'ORD, Nov. 17.—The VICE-CHAN CELLOI. has fixed Thursday, the Bth of December, for the election of a Professor of Poetry.
