SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The accounts from the seat of war in Georgia, even though transmitted through Russia, indi cate any thing but rapid success on the part of the Northern Power. Probably, if we could read the Persian story, -it would describe the si tuation Of the invaders as yet more perplexing, and unpropitious,—their disasters more Nume rous,—their petty successes more doubtful. It appears that Eriyan will not be besieged, and is certainly not likely to fall before winter : the siege of Sardar-Abad, which iaust first be sub dued, was not begun till the 7th of last month. Still, we can hardly persuade ourselves that Russia will be foiled in the enterprise. But if she succeed, what does she gain ? A less dearly-defined frontier, and.a greater surface of country over which her troops must be,scattered far and wide for the purpose of. security or de fence. Would she be one step nearer us in India, should political circumstances change the present happy relations of the two powers ? Lo cally and geographically nearer she would be, but morally more remote : for she would have an ill-subdued and imbittered population in the rear and flanks of her advancing army ; and she has already shown by her present attack upon Persia, the difficulties incident to an expedition into Southern Asia.—Times. It is proverbial that it is much more easy to give good advice than to induce people to fol low it,—to preach, than to enforce practice. The discourses from the pulpit, however, may in part lose their effect through their frequency and their stated return ; but when a Judge has preached from the bench, and above all, when he has so preached as to command approbation and elicit applause, it could hardly have been expected that practice would not follow precept. And yet we are informed that, notwithstanding the vote of thanks presented to Lord Chief Justice Best by the Grand Jury of Wiltshire, and not withstanding his Lordship's publication of his charge at their request, no measures have been taken by those gentlemen for abolishing the ille gal and iniquitous pr ac ti ce o f ma ki ng up t he la bourers wages from the poor-rates ; but that, on the contrary, the custom remains unabated through the county. The learned Judge's address, there fore, remains a dead letter as to any practical good. We hope his Lordship will twit his ap plauding audience with this when he next meets them. But not only in Wiltshire, but through out all England, ought so unjust a practice to be abolished ; and the abolition of it depends upon the Magistracy. If they are honest men, they will not suffer the industrious and healthy labourer to receive as an alms.. that which he has earned by the sweat of his brow,—they will not suffer him to accept from another, or from others in part, that which is wholly due from his em ployer ;—they will not suffer a fund, which by the laws of England is the property of the aged, the infantine and the infirm, to be plun dered by. its guardians to support their own ro bust servants. But it may be apprehended, and has been said, that the magistrates look too acutely to their rents, to interfere resolutely in the suppression of any abuse by which they are the ultimate gainers ; for if the farmer pay his full wages to the labourer, there will be the less for his landlord. Let frugality then, we say, in the latter, make up the deficiency. He ". had his good things" when he was talking of shed ding the last drop of his blood, And spending his last guinea, in the late contest. The times are changed now, and our habits should vary with them. Economy is , a virtue which will not only save the individual, but will alio pre serve the state.—lbid. We seldom receive a Newspaper from any part of the Empire' 'which is not filled with ac counts of Religious and Controversial. Meetings. Were a stranger to form an opinion of us from our periodical literature, he would suppose that we were so completely engrossed by religion as to dear everything else beneath our considera tion. Were he to be told that the people so ap parently absorbed by care for religion were the great pot and pan makers of the world, the first in nearly all tiranches of manufacturing indus try, the keenest speculators, the Most thorough going worshippers of Mammon on this globe, and, devoted beyond measure to luxury and sen sual gratification, he would laugh at what he would naturally conceive a barefaced attempt to impose on him. No, he would say, it is impos sible that the same people . Can be at once the most avaricious and devoted to the good things of this life, and the most intent on the life to come. This character, to which you draw my attention, in the Scotsman of Saturday last, is palpably untrue ; namely, that " it is the peculiar curse of England— more, we believe, than of any other country—to be eaten to the core with avarice. Money—wealth—is considered indis pensible, let honour or character have what fate they may ;for without money there is no considera ftion—and, with it, who is not possessed of con"seque , sce ?" The English may be, what Lady IVlorgai , terms them, the most besotted of nations, but they cannot be the most worldly minded. .The Lord Mayor threw out an ob servation at the Keeting, when Mr, Clay ton was takin g leave of his congregation, which was pregnant with meaning—that young men about to enter on the world would find it a good spe culation to connect themselves with a Dissent ing Body. His Lordship's recommendation, justified no' doubt by an extensive experience, will serve to account for much of the extraordi sisq interest often taken in the furtherance of sectarian objects by men 'whose real worship is m ammon , His Lordship thought, at all eves,nt .i that it was.by n o means likely to injure A ny r pion to hold out the adoption of it as a good worldly speculation. Other prudent people have not thought it beneath them, in choosing a reli gion, to consider the re turns here be l ow. Cour . Tulle tells us' that he asked, one day, the Duchess of Hanover (the friend of Leibnitz), who was a Calvinist herself, while her husband was a Luthe ran, of what religion the Prinsgss, her daughte r , was. She answered, " that she had none yet, as they wished to know what religion the husband she - should marry would be of, in order that they might instruct her in that religion, whether Protestant or Catho lic." It is no uncommon thing for a tradesman settlin g in a town in England to consider, like his Lordship, or the celebrated Duchess of Ha nover, how his faith can be most advantageously disposed of, as, for instance, in which body there is the best. opening for a beginner, and to de dare. himself accordingly. We are far from wish ing to say th at there are not many sincerely re ligious person s .' bore any prop ortio l u E to ngland ; but f the reality difficult to account for' the pretence, it would be of crimes of all kinds; a_ri - extraordina ry increase but Those in which fraud And more especially of attafise,areresorted d u ring the very period Wh ei - - have been lay ing.the highest claims to sanctity. On the other hand, the increase of the appearance of religious zeal can be very - easily accounted for, on the principle of its being a good worldly speculation. Our devotion to the things of this world is placed beyond doubt ; and any exuberance of zeal in devotion to the things of another must, we fear, be attributed to the conviction of its being sub sidiary to the former. Believing as we do the Lord Mayor to be a clever man in his way, we cannot help thinking that he has not attained the highest perfection in his line. Ars e.ct celare tem. But a clever writer in the London Maga zine charges him with not concealing sufficientiv his worship of Mammon. " Lord Ma:, ors (he says) make one ashamed of one's na tion, almost of one's species. 0 The nasty, grovelling r•rea tures !as Cobbett would, say. The incarnation of Fol!y and Mainc - .oa is a City of London Lord Mayor. He is the worshipful golden calf. This identical Lord Mayor, who considers the dispute between the Recorder and the Sheriff merely according to the ineor-es and disbursements of the partis, and who is not one whit worse than the rest of his t tribe, is the very man who talked of respectable rogues and td . qc T. , onds, meaning thereby rogues and vagabonds with money in their pockets. The discourse of these men is one perpetual money-chink. Every word they speak has the jingle of gold iii it, and their morality rustles in bank notes. Trade has made our ethics more curiously despicable than those of any people on God's earth. We are every where cankered with the abject money-worship ping principle—prodigies of the foulest idolatry, that is most inconsistent with the honourable pride of man." Now, if it be impossible to serve both God and Mammon, and if Mammon was never better and more zealously served in any country, from the beginning of time than he is in this present day, what are we to think of the offer made to the Rev. Mr. Maguire, of which he gave an ac count in a speech at the Roscommon Catholic Meeting, which speech our readers will find in another column ? He says, that " within the last fortnight, a Protestant Rector waited on him, bearing to him (Mr. Maguire) a letter from an Archbishop, making an offer of one thousand pounds in hand, and a living of eight hundred pounds a-year, if he would consent to abjure the Catholic religion, and becOme a. Protestant Parson." It would be almost insanity in Mr. Ma guire to make such a declaration were the facts different from what he has stated; because, as there are only four Archbishops in Ireland, a solemn disclaimer from each of these Prelates would force him to name the Rector, and pro duce his letter, on pain of Being branded for a calumniator. But when we think of the Thou- sand Pounds, and the Living of Eight Hundred Pounds a-year, such Living of Eight Hundred a-year being worth in the market an annuity for that amount to Mr. Maguire, deducting the Curate's wages, we cannot get rid of our doubts. He' must be a bold Archbishop who, after giving away such a living, would dare to face a Jury under a Commission of Lunacy. We should like to see the countenances of a dozen of Mad Doctors on receiving an answer from the sub- ject of their examination, that he had given a Thousand Pounds and a Living of Eight Hundred a-year away from his family, with a view to draw even an Arch-papist to the Pro testant Faith. It is no uncommon artifice of the Devil, in holy legends, to assail holy men with tempting offers, and, instead of performing his promise, to taunt them with their weakness when they have yielded to his lures. .We are almost inclined to believe that a flaming Pro testant zeal may have led some Archbishop to follow the policy recorded in some of these legends, and to hold out a living of eight hun dred a-year as a lure to lead one of the Cham pions of the Catholic Church into the mire. Having overcome the blushes of the Reverend Papist, what a gleam of satisfaction would play on his countenance when he announced - to his astonished auditors that he whose creed would be influenced by money was not worthy of ad mission into the Protestant Church, and that the trial he had made of his principles satisfied higi they were best suited to the Church of which he was a member ! Any solution of the difficulty is more probable, than that an Archbishop made a bona fide offer to a Papist of a living of eight hundred pounds a year. The Archbishop of Dublin has told us, that he has frequently ad vised Catholic Clergymen desirous of renouncing Popery to remain Catholics, as by changing they would lose their livings, and he could give them nothing in return. This conduct on the part of his Grace showed that he knew the value of livings in the Protestant Church, and also the value of conversions.—Morning Chronicle. While our artisans are becohling practical phi losophers, and the cultivators of the soil are em ployed in the culture of the mind, it is not a little remarkable that no improvement whatever seems to have taken place in the moral character of the people at large. On the contrary, strange as it may appear, the habits of a great mass of the population have become depraved in the same rat . .., as the " march of intellect" has ad vanced. Fifty years ago an educated burglar or pickpocket could rarely be met with, but now almest every member of the thieving fraternity can read and write, and many of them can boast much higher attainments. But have their num bers diminished under the influence of educa- tion ? Quite the reverse. They have increased to a most alarming extent, as evidently appears from the present state of the Metropolis. No sooner are crowds of criminals shipped off for New South Wales than the several prisons are filled with others ready to follow them, and the system . of delinquency exhibits a progressive in crease from: one ,end of the year tc the other. There are some . parts of London so much in fested with audacious robbers that it is altogether unsafe to walk there, even in the open day. Various instances of this fact were shown during the last Surrey Sessions, and the Grand Jury found it necessary to present a great part of the Southwark-bridge-road as a common nuisance, being the resort of gangs of thieves of the worst description, and of the lowest and most de praved class of abandoned women. The whole neighbourhood of the Mint, and the in tervening region between it and the Kei+ road, are represented to be in a state which calls for the most prompt and •decisive mea sures on the part of the police, yet no torious offenders are not only allowed to remain undisturbed in their haunts, but to prowl about unmolested. This forbearance is highly repre hensible, and the Marquis of Lansdowne ought not to lose a moment in putting an end to it. Why should wretches, whose known career is crime, be suffered to congregate with impunity, in order that they may devise schemes for com mitting depredations. It surely cannot be ne cessary that they should be caught flagrante delicto, to justify their being taken into custody. Their habitual pursuits disqualify them from claiming the rights of peaceable citizens, and it cannot be said that the liberty of the subject is violated in seizing them wherever they are met. The culpable practice, however, which has hi therto prevailed, allows thieves and police ofliceis to mingle together as social companions under the same roof, the most desperate offenders be ing thus perfectly secure, so long as they are not detected in the perpetration of crime. But then it is urged, on the other hand, that this sort of intercommunion is necessary to the ends of jus tice, and that flash-houses must therefore be to lerated. We cannot admit such an argument, believing as we do, that those houses are Asy lums for old, and nurseries for young delinquents. The duty of police officers is not only to appre hend criminals, but to prevent crimes from being committed. In furtherance of the former object they are active enough whenever they find it their inteiest, but with regard to the latter, they are too oft;:n disgracefully negligent.—Morning Herald. The apologists of the Tripartite Treaty of the 6th of July are driven to pretend, that the Law of Nations, as it has hitherto been understood and acknowledged, being inapplicable to the cir cumstances in which the contest between the Grand Seignor and his rebellious subjects had placed, not the, parties to it only, but the rest of the world also, a new law of necessity e merged out of circumstances, new and unprecedented, and that the Allies are accordingly to be judge 4 by this new law of nations which they only have enacted, and which we suppose they only are to administer. To this argument we have already objected, that it is no other than a clumsy and circumlocutory mode of denying the existence of any such thing as a fixed and permanent in ternational law. If a new law is to be made for every new occasion, and to be made by those, who either have, or pretend to have, an interest in the immediate affair, we are at a loss to know what principles can restrain their authority, or what arbiter is henceforth to be acknow ledged in the disputes of nations, other than the vltima ratio reguni. The inter ference of one nation in the 'affairs of another is prohibited by the Law of Nations, which in this instance only re-echoes the voice of com mon sense. But although this is the general law, it is not universal in its operation. It may be superseded by other fixed and permanent laws of still higher authority. Every nation has a paramount and indefeasible right to watch over its own safety, and to guard its own important and essential interest ; and whenever the latter of these laws is placed by circumstances in oppo sition to the former, the latter must be allowed to be the more cogent in its obligation. We admit then, that if the safety, or the essential interest of England, Russia, or France, had been plainly implicated in the contest between the Grand Seignor and his rebel subjects, those Powers would, according to the law of nations, have been entitled to interfere. But it can not be denied, that those Powers might each and all of them have stood aloof without any rational apprehension of direct injury. It follows of necessity, therefore, that their in terference is wholly unjustifiable upon the present occasion. A direct and legitimate interest is essential to their justification, and that interest they have not. The names of religion and humanity have been prostituted in this case—irreligiously, inhumanely, shamelessly prostituted—prostituted evidently for the purpose of confusing the subject, and of shielding injus tice from the merited indignation of mankind.— It is pretended that the Allies, having no inte rest to promote by their interference, is a circum stance in their favour; but injustice is injustice still, although it may be wanton and gratuitous ; nor is it by any means clear that all the Allied Nations are exempt from motives of self-interest ; or, where the nations are exempt from such mo tives, that the governments of the moment have not interests distinct from those of the nation.— It is evident enough that the English nation can have nointerest-m common •with: the pirates of the Levant ;•bitt it is riot so-evident that the ex isting Administration of England may not have an interest in common with the Radical Phil hellenists who support that Administration in Parliament, and who, after having robbed the Greeks for their own personal advantage and that of their friends, may naturally enough desire, to make them amends at the expellee of the na tion.—Morning Post. We give to-day the eloquent and elaborate judgment of the Venerable Head of the Admi ralty Coutt, in the case of the slave Grace.— This valuable document, for so we may well de nominate it, will be read with interest by many who are but remotely or not at all interested in its contents. It is not, indeed, we hope, the last, but we cannot, from the increasing years and decaying strength of the upright Judge who pro nounced it, anticinate that it shall have many fol lowers. The judgment of his Lordship goes to dismiss the appeal, or in other words, he finde, that though a slave brought to England becomes free, pro tempore, yet his original disabilities re turn when he goes back, ,whether,voluntarily or casually, to the place where they were first in curred ; in short, that by no act of his own, or of others, save legal emancipation, can a slave cease to be so in the colony where he has by birth, or other accident, been subjected to servi tude. There are many consequences which seem to flow from this doctrine, which require a de gree of deliberate attention which our time for the present prevents us from giving. At the first view, we confess, highly as we venerate Lord Stowell as a lawyer we feel very much inclined to question the soundness of the decision he has come to ; but we say this as we feel we ought, with much diffidence.—Net u Times.

GUlLDHALL. 7 —Yesterday Mr. John Tunnell, the watchmaker, in Fleet.street, attended, accompanied by Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Clarkson, as .his Counsel, and by Mr. Harmer, as his solicitor, to meet the complaint of Mr. Armstrong, of Liverpool, to whom he had given notice of his intention so to do, on the previous evening. Mr. Armstrong stated that he had a particular reason for wishing to defer proceeding with this case until to morrow. Pie did not receive notice that it would he brought on that (lay until the night before. Sir PETI..r. LAURIE was afraid he should he doing in justice to the defendant to accede to this request, after he had incurred the expense of Counsel, unless Mr. Arm strong could show some strong ground. Mr. Adolphus hoped the complainant was not afraid of Counsel. Mr. Armstrong, who is a very young man, laughed, and said he had no fear upon that subject, for his was a straight forward tale; but if the F. firing was adjourned, he ex pected to obtain the attendance of a witness. Sir PETER.LAURIE inquired whether he meant to state that he would produce new evidence, or that he only sup posed he should he able to do so. Mr. Armstrong meant, he expected he should be ready to make a fresh charge. Mr. Adolphus understood the hearing was originally fixed for Wednesday, and therefore would not oppose the application for delay, but Mr. Tunnell had been anxious to show that he was not for running away, and to satisfy the Court, and through the Court. the public, that there was no disposition on his part to avoid inquiry. It seemed th ,t the robbery was committed in March, and that M Armstrong did not hear that any part of the property was in Mr. Tunnell's hands until the 31st October following; and, as regarded connecting the names of Mr. Tunnell and Ikey Solomons together, it ought to be . remembered that up to July, Solomons was an extensive dealer in jewel lery and other things, many respectable houses transacted business with him, and in the eye of the world was looked upon as an upright tradesman. At the same time he did not mean to grant that Mr. Tunnel! had ever dealt with the man. Mr. Clarkson thought the suspicion against Mr. Tun nel! Was repelled by the fact, that he had exgosed to the fullest publicity, by hanging in his shop-window, the watches that had been stolen, if it should be proved that these were stolen. The question then arose, whether the defendant should be detained until the following day, and Mr. Harmer urged, that as he came voluntarily, he might be trusted to give his own recognizance in 100/., to appear again. Sir P. LAURIE said, if any thing new had come out that day, it was clear he should not be justified in trusting to Mr. Tunnell's appearing voluntarily again ; and perhaps how, with even the threat of a new charge to be brought forward, he would not be so ready to attend. Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Clarkson put several questions to the complainant, to show that he did not mean that he should adduce evidence as to other robberies, but as to other articles taken from him in March. Sir P. LAURIE, though with some reluctance, yielded to Mr. Harmer's suggestion, and Mr. Tunnell was liberated. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Stanbury, a gentleman of fortune, residing in the neighbourhood of Cranford, near Hounslow, appeared to answer an assault warrant obtained against him by Richard Begg, the gamekeeper of Lady Berkeley, of Cranford-house. According to the complainant's statement it appeared, that on Thursday last he saw the defendant in his own potatoe-field beating for game. The complainant and the defendant both crossed a field, and met upon the grounds of a third party, named Edwards. The defendant here asked the complainant if he would give him a hare? "Oh yes, to be sure, plenty," was the reply. The defendant then proceeded to abuse the complainant, and called him a skulking thief several times. The complainant retorted by calling the defendant a liar and a thief, on which the defendant jumped across the ditch, and holding his fist in the complainant's face, he swore be would knock his teeth down his throat. He then took the complainant by the collar, held the hutt-end of the gun to his face, and swore he would split his head. The complainant was several times assaulted in the same manner by the de fendant. . Mr. Stanbury then stated that he suffered considerable annoyance from the complainant, who on the occasion mentioned was very insolent and abusive. It happened, be said, that he held a freehold estate immediately adjoin ing the groundsof the complainant's mistress, Lady Berke ley; of course he s had a right to shoot upon his own pro perty, besides which he had the permission of several far mers in the neighbourhood to sport upon their lands. He never went out, however, With his gun and dogs, but he was sure to be watched by the complainant, and as soon as he commenced looking for game, he ran before him with his dog at the rate of five or six miles an hour, with a view to prevent his sport, by starting the birds. On the day in question; Mr. Stanbury said, the complainant annoyed him by watching his motions across . a hedge that divides Lady Berkeley's property from his own, and when spoken to, he called him a liar and thief. " I certainly told him," added the defendant, " that if he repeated such language, I should knock him down. With respect to the dog, he was an .animal worth 50 guineas, and one day When sporting 'with him on my own grounds, the dog happened to leap over the wall into those of Lady. Berkeley, two of whose sons and the complainant were present. The complainant followed the dog, and as he was never seen after, there was every reason to suppose that he was destroyed:" Sir RICHARD BIRNIE was no sportsman himself, and was therefore not very competent to judge of the feelings of those who were ; but taking the complainant on his own showing, it was certainly very annoying to be watched and dogged in the manner described by the defendant; as there was no blow struck, there was no harm done ; but if the complainant said that he went in bodily fear of the defend ant, the latter must find bail. Mr. Stanbury hoped that the bail would be mutual. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—Oh certainly it shall, if you will scree r, Mr. Stanbury, that you also go in bodily fear ; but from your appearance and that of the complainant, I should hardly think you are under much apprehension from him. It was then arranged that Mr. Stanbury should enter into his own recognizance ti keep the peace towards the complainant, and the parties retired. QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Samuel Fuzzey, a watchman, was brought before War. WHITE, Esq. charged with a violent assaAt upon Mr. William Barrow, the engineer at the Sun Newspaper-office. The complainant stated that on Saturday last he was re . turning home between the imurs of eleven and twelve o'clock, and in passing from the King's-mews to William street, Pimlico, he saw the defendant and several other watchmen, dragging a drunken man along the road in a most cruel manner ; he said to a person who was with him—" What a pity it is to treat the poor man so impro perly," he had hardly pronounced the words, when he re eei-red a violent blow from a stick, which broke his hat, and on turning round, he perceived the defendant in the act of giving him another blow with his stick, but he parried it off with his arm, otherwise he would'have been seriously injured. When he had recovered from the stun ning effects of the blow, he asked the defendant why he struck him ; he replied—" If you have not got enough I will give you another ;" he then abused witness, snaking use of language too disgusting to mention. When he threat ened to complain of him at the watch-house, he endea voured to elude witness by getting into the midst of, the watchmen ; lie kept his eye upon him until he got to the watch-house, but he was nor permitted to go in, and after the charge against the drunken man was taken, the defend ant came out, and dragged witness into the watch-house, where, to his great surprise, he found a charge of rescue entered against him in the book ; but, fortunately, two gentlemen, strangers to him, who saw the whole transac tion, came forward and batted him, otherwise lie must have remained in the watch-house until morning, as his friends lived in the city. On Monday the drunken man was fined ss. by Mr. Gregorie ; and the defendant preferred a charge of rescue against him, bnt the Magistrate dismissed the complaint, as the watchman who had the drunken man in custody said that he had never seen witness ; at the same time Mr. Gregorie told the defendant not to quit the office until the charge of assault which he preferred against him was investigated ; but he thought proper to disregard the Magistrate's order, by leaving the office, in consequence of which, Mr. Gregorie told witness to take out a warrant for his apprehension. James Richardson corroborated the above statement, adding that he saw the defendant strike the complainant on the head, without receiving the slightest provocation ; he merely observed to witness, that it was a pity to drag a man in such a violent manner through the mud because he was intoxicated ; and when he dragged the complainant into the watch-house, he would not allow witness or any of the persons who had seen the affair to go in. Mr. Thos. Cain, of No. , 18, Stockbridge-terrace, Vaux hall-road, stated that he saw the whole transaction, and the above account was perfectly correct. He never saw a man so shamefully treated as the complainant was by the watchman ; and although he had never seen the former be fore that occasion, he and Mr. Harvey, his friend,• bec a me bail for him. Mr. Harvey would have attended to give evidence, only business prevented him. Vorley, an active and intelligent night-constable of St George's Outward, stated that it was with much regret he took the cbirge•of " rescue," which the 'defeidrint:lad! made against the complainant on the night in question but as he knew the defendant was a very violent man, he: thought it better to enter the charge than run the risk of having a complaint made against himself. The defendant had a particular liking for beating persons after they were, in his custody, and the present was the fifth charge of that' description which was brought against him. Wiriness had often advised him not to take the law into his own hands; and not even to return a blow from a prisoner, because the Magistrates would give him satisfaction if he were as-: saulted ; his reply was, that if any one struck him, he would be --- if he would not return the blow. Witness, knowing him to be of a most savage disposition, thought it' his duty to .epr2sentthe fact to the Magistrates. The defendant said the above evidence was altogether, P.se; he never struck any person but once, and that was only a woman of the town, to whom he gave a kick for abusing him. On the night in question, the com-i plainant struck him, and tried to rescue a prisoner. Mr. WMITE said, that Mr. Cain. and his friend had acted very much to their honour in bailing the complainant; who deserved much praise for bringing this case under the consideration of the Magistrates. He and Mr. Marriott, were of opinion that such a person as the defendant was not fit to exercise the duties of a watchman, and that he ought to he discharged from his situation. Mr. MA RRIOTT observed that the evidence clearly proved that the defendant was guilty of the most cruel and unjust conduct towards the complainant in the first instance ; and that afterwards he endeavoured to prevent him from having redress by making a false and infamous charge against him at the watch-house. The gentlemen -who were his bail deserved- the highest praise, as he might have been locked up all night only for their kind assistance, and it was to be hoped, if ever they fell into the same distressing situation themselves, that they would meet with persons of an equally humane disposition. The watchman's conduct was most detestable, and he entirely concurred in the decision of Mr. White. The watchman was dismissed from Ms situation. MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--Yesterday, 1%1r. .Ee1.; . sey, a lodging-house keeper, inEolton-row, Piccadilly, was ordered to find bail, on a charge of assaulting Elizabeth Smith, his housemaid, by placing his arm round her waist and attempting to embrace her. 111ARYLEtONE-OFFICI3.—In consideration of the imprisonment which the person calling himself Captain John Campbell had already endured, Mr. Edwards on Mon day night withdrew the charge of fraud, and the prisonet was liberated.

The archways have been extended upwards of 16 feet from the point at which the water entered the tunnel in May last. The miners have completely got through the whole of the bed of the river which was considered dangerous, and have reached the solid clay, the existence of which the horizontal borings indicated before the shield was againadVanced. The mea sures adopted by the engineer to protect the works from any further irruption of the Thames, have therefore answered all the expectations entertained, and it may now be asserted with confidence that the completion of the undertakitii is placed beyond a doubt, provided adequate funds are raised to carry on the works to their termination. A Court of Directors was held yesterday in•Walbrook, at which the engineer deliver ed his weekly report of the progress and condition of the works, and which was very satisfactory. On an early day in the present month a special general meeting of the shareholders is to be convened, at which full information relative to the tunnel will be given, as well as it is understood, the result of the negotiations between the Directors and Government, for a loan of money to enable the former to prosecute the undertaking ,vith more vigour. The tunnel has now been extended beyond the middle of the river•. BIRTHS. On the ;29th ult. at Amsterdam, the lady of Francis Alelvil, E-3q. of a daughter. On the sth inst.
