r hintse ;LI SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The Lord Chancellor has been received everywhere in his Scotch tour in the most enthusiastic manner. Not a city, burgh, village, or hamlet, in Highlands or Lowlands, but has poured forth its population to meet and welcome him ; and his journey has been a sort of civil triumph. Deputations of magistrates Came 50 and 60 miles to present addresses to him ; and in places where there were no magistrates, the people met and chose delegates to draw up addresses, in the tone and spirit of that from Inverness, which we have given in another column. At Aberdeen the Chancellor's patience seems to have been put to a rather severe trial. He was obliged to speak when presented with the freedom of the city, in answer to the address from the Society of Advocates, in answer to an address from the Marischal Colleg e and University of Aberdeen, in answer to an address from the Incorpo rations, besides speaking to the crowd from the window of his hotel, and then a few times at the dinner given to him in the County Hall. We were prepared for the flattering reception Lord Brougham every where met with in his native country. The people of Aber deen, Dundee, and Inverness, &c., feel, with the people of every other town in the island, that his Lordship has rendered far greater services to the public than any other statesman now living. The private feelings which have filled one Journal (the Times) with such implacable hostility towards him, are not of course shared by the public in general ; and the honest citizens of Aberdeen and Dundee may therefore be well pardoned for viewing in Lord Brougham the advocate for thirty years of every beneficial and enlightened measure, and the great patron of improvement. The unsophisticated feelings of the people saved them not only from sympathising with the Times, of which the unprincipled malignity was obvious, but also from being the dupes of certain Journalists who delight in running down men like the Chancellor, for the reason that a reputation for acuteness and ingenuity may, they think, be easier acquired by detecting and exaggerating the faults of a great public character, than by falling in with the general opinion. There is no man in the present Ministry (and we say not this with any wish to underval ue Lord Brougham's colleagues, some of whom are able and upright men) who has laboured like Lord Brougham in the cause of improvement. The very ardour which led him to make the extraordinary exertions which we have witnessed, during a period of thirty years, may have betrayed him occasionally into the use of language less cautious, perhaps, than would have been used by cold and cautious individuals, more occupied wit selves than with the public. B u t how un to pass over a long career of publi c exertion, and to twist a few detached sentences into a proof of abandonment of the cause of the people I There is not one of his Lordship's detractors who in his heart be lieves that Lord Brougham is less inclined at this mo ment to promote every description of improvement in education, in our laws and institutions, than ever he was at any period of his life. "My opinions and sen timents (said his Lordship in answer to the Corpo rators of Aberdeen) have been always the same that they now are since I entered life ; and at my years are not apt to be changed without strong reasons. When I change these principles—when I cease to respect the House of Commons—when I cease to love liberty— when I cease to wish for the safety and continued prosperity of those institutions under which we have so long prospered, and, under their improved state, are likely still more to prosper, then my mind will be near a close ; and if I retain any sense, I will send you a notice of it.--(A laugh.)" He added, however, sig nificantly, " Only I hope you will take the notice from myself, and not from other people." That Lord Brougham is infallible—that he is less liable to err than other public men, is what no man would think of maintaining. But we think it hard that because he has done more than other men, a less measure of in dulgence should be shown to him. There is some thing unaccountable in the conduct of one or two of our contemporaries with regard to Lord Brougham. The Times began to attack his Lordship at the time he was exerting himself to promote the success of the great measure of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill, which, indeed, may be said to be his measure, as the Commission, tie labours of which exposed the evil in all its hideousness, originated with him. The Times, actuated by motives of the most discreditable nature, endeavoured to defeat the measure. That its animosity towards his Lordship was altogether owing to his share in the Bill in ques tion, we do not intend to maintain. It is even possible that a private grudge to Lord Brougham may have converted the Times from an advocate of the Bill to its opponent. But this we maintain, that the hatred of the Times manifested itself when his Lordship was labouring for the goall of his fellow-citizens, and more particularly to raise' the great body of English labour ers to independence. Yet the indignation of the writers in question was not only not directed against the Times, but the glaring immorality and want of principle of that journal, so conspicuously displayed in the case of Lord Brougham, were pardoned to it, in gratitude for the virulence displayed against him. It may be necessary to censure Lord Brougham as well as other public men, when they err. But it is ungenetous, nay, mean, to select a time for assail ing him, when an unprincipled adversary, actuated by private malice, was endeavouring to destroy his reputation. It was impossible, however, that the public should share this moral obliquity. And the warmth of the reception of Lord Brougham, wherever he has appeared in Scotland, sufficiently proves that public gratitude is not a mere name, and that the man who devotes the days and nights of thirty years to the good of his countrymen is in no danger of being abandoned by them, because a writer in a news paper chooses to make it the vehicle of private malice against him. We hold it to be immoral to praise a public man beyond his deserts. We may think highly of the Chancellor ; but no mortal, perhaps, ever de served the extravagant praise for almost all conceiv able excellencies which the Times bestowed for years on Lord Brougham. However, indiscriminate cen sure on. public men is not less immoral. Fortunately, the success of journalists, in their endeavours to de tract from the merit of public men, is often by no means equal to their wishes. Were it otherwise, were reputation to be held by the precarious tenure of an opinion which any public writer could shake, a power ful motive for doing good would be destroyed. We look upon the manifestations of public feeling in Scot land in favour of the Chancellor as of great value in the way of encouragement to public men, while it ought to afford an useful lesson to public writers.-- Morning Chronicle. To enter into any discussion on the character and foreign policy of Lord Palmerston would, we are aware, not only be superfluous, but in some measure an insult to our readers; for, whatever difference of opinion may exist on the present state of British in fluence and power in the East, we believe we may safely assert that scarcely any one, be he of whatso ever party he may, is satisfied with the course pursued by his Lordship and his colleagues in that quarter. From the time of the untoward event at Navarino down to the present moment, a most unhappy influence, as we often had reason to remark, has appeared to direct the councils of Britain with respect to the Turkish empire. Either nothing, or worse than no thing has been effected. Looking on the conduct of our Ministers in the most favourable light, we agree with our Correspondent from Constantinople, who ob serves—" Our Ministers are apparently waiting to fol low events, and are by no means prepared to lead them; and until they adopt a bolder cour se we stand b u t li tt l e chance of doing much good here. ' And on this we would merely ask, is such a system creditable to the councils of such a nation as Great Britain ? Are we reduced to such a state of ignorance that we know not how to act ? or are we sunk to such a depth of imbe cility and weakness that we cannot, or dare not, take a lead in the direction of affairs so vitally important to our interests in every point of view ? We are not, and have never been, the advocates of war, or of un r.iietessary interference with the affairs of other nations ; but it should be borne in mind that the surest way to avert war is to put ourselves in the situation in which we should not fear it. There may be, we confess, a difference of opinion now as to what direct course we should adopt towa4ls Turkey ; but can it be doubted-for an instant that the greater the difficulties 2O L ~ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1814. now existing in those quarters, the duty and policy of strengthening our dominions in the East Indies be comes ten times more imperative ? and can any one fail to see the immense advantages to be derived, both on the grounds of policy and humanity, from a steam communication with our Eastern possessions, by means of the Red Sea ? And yet will the country credit it, that notwithstanding, during the last three years, the greatest exertions have been made in India to mature plans and raise money for the ensuring a steam com munication with England, nothing whatever has been done by the Government here to assist in completing this undertaking, the advantages to be derived from which are self-evident to all, save the present able Se cretary for Foreign Affairs, and his colleagues ; and the importance, we had almost said necessity, of which is by no means diminished by the fact of the foreign policy of the last few years having so materially dimi nished British power and influence throughout Turkey and Persia, and we fear we may add, throughout the whole of Europe ?—Morning Herald. We have abridged from the Scotch Papers accounts of various Meetings and Addresses in honour of the Lord Chancellor and Earl Grey on their visit to that country, preserving the most remarkable passages of the speeches delivered by the two itinerant Statesmen upon these occasions. The speech of the Noble Earl at Coldstream is, as might be expected from him, ele gant and gentlemanly, full of commendations of the Reform Bill, and of happy auguries as to the benefi cial consequences it is likely to produce. With respect to the Lord Chancellor's eloquence, now that he is once more north of the Tweed, we cannot say that the specimens we this day present are by any means worthy of his reputation. He is constrained, affected, and vulgar. Labouring strenuously to seem indif ferent to public animadversion, and, if possible, still more strenuously to efface the impression created by his recent speech at Inverness, he la mentably fairs in both of his two imcompatible objects. We recommend the various harangues of the Noble and Learned Lord to the perusal of our readers, as examples of pure, unadulterated nonsense. We should willingly have withheld this expression of opinion, could we have done so with any regard to our own cha racter for judgment and integrity ; for we are not by any means disposed to disregardthe strong presumption in favour of the amended character and present good disposition of Lord Brougham, afforded by the esta blished character and undisguised purposes of those who are at present in the daily habit of repeating all that we used to say, to the prejudice of his Lord ship, when the fiercest of his new assailants never thought themselves so well employed as in admi nistering to him the daily and weekly doses of that flattery in which they now tell us he so inordi nately delights. Being thus favourably disposed towards the Noble and Learned Lord, we could not read without grief and mortification his declaration at Aberdeen, that Lord Althorp and himself were, of all his Majesty's late Ministers, the two who most wished to avert the calamity of Lord Grey's resigna tion. We wish the Lord Chancellor had not uttered these words. They go far to destroy all the hopes which we were beginning to entertain of him. It is now abundantly clear, notwithstanding all that the journals of the movement can say about his Lordship's conversion to Toryism, that he is yet a stranger to that most essential of Tory feelings and principles, the love of truth. But we suppose it was thought prudent to present a peace-offering to the late Pre mier, no matter at what expense, preparatory to ap pearing in his presence at the Edinburgh Meeting.— Morning Post. We called the attention of our readers, and contem poraries, yesterday, to an important fact, now proved beyond the possibility of contradiction, connected with the past administration of the Poor Laws ; namely, that the amount of the tax levied upon the industrious portion of the people of England, for the support of the ignorant, the dissolute, and the lazy, was, according to the latest returns, on the increase, as stated by the Poor Law Commissioners in their Re port, and not on the decrease, as alleged by those who opposed the passing of the new Act ; and we now return to the subject, not for the purpose of simply re-stating that highly-important fact, but for that of expressing a hope that those who may think that they descry greater evils under the new than existed under the old system, would compare the past with the pre sent before they decide, and not allow their judgments to be biassed, or their minds to be led astray, by the arts of vulgar prejudice, or the representations of disap pointed vanity. This warning it is the more necessary for us to give, and the public to keep in mind now, because, while there is, on the one hand, an evident determination, on the part of certain of our contempo raries, to make the most of every case of apparent hardship which may appear to spring out of the work ing of the new system, it is impossible, on the other, that the introduction of the new system should not oc casion much heart-burning and jealousy, vexation, dis appointment, and occasionally hardship. No great change was ever made—no extensive reform ever ef fected—no new invention or improvement ever intro duced, which was not, in the first instance, produc tive of some portion of evil or of suffering, or of a change, momentarily, for the worse, to fewer or more persons ; but these partial evils ought to have no more weight with the public in judging of the new system, than the cries of the patient whose limb is being amputated, upon the surgeon, in order that his body may be saved. They ought, as they deserve, to meet with sympathy and mitigation ; but the sympathy must not check the progress of re form, nor mitigation assume the appearance of a re turn to ancient practice. Having put our hand to the plough, we must proceed cheerfully forward ;—not lamenting at every step the useful plants which we cannot avoid tearing up by the roots, along with a multiplicity of weeds which obstruct the ploughshare ; but cOnsidering that our labours must be productive of a richer harvest than could otherwise have been pro duced ; and that if the field had remained untilled, it would have only brought forth briars and thorns— thistles and tares. Let but the past operation of the poor laws from the fatal enactment of the 9th Geo. I. be considered, and the future prospects held out by it fairly compared with those which we have a right to en tertain from the amended Act, when it has come fairly into operation, and we fear not the result, upon any unprejudiced and well-cultivated mind, of any case, or any number of cases, of alleged misery or distress, which may be brought forward by the - enemies. of the new system, as its product. What was that opera tion ? Need it be told that it was of the most bane ful and most mischievous, as well as alarming, na ture ? Did not committee after committee, from the year 1817 downwards, including especially those of 1822, 1824, and 1828, report, one after the other, that owing to the mal-admiiiistration of the poor laws, the agriculture of the country was in the lowest state of degradation—the poor-rate most alarmingly on the increase—and the labourers themselves not only re duced to a minimum of wages, or rather to a mini mum of subsistence, but become ignorant, dissolute, ferocious, lazy, and brutalized beyond any power of description ? Were not their reports borne out, most fatally in 1830, when, goaded on, on the one hand, by want, on the other by a thirst for revenge, and by an ignorance of the real causes of their distress which reflects the greatest disgrace on this en lightened age and coulitry, the peasantry rose like demons of evil, and scattered dismay and terror throughout almost every county in Eng land ? Was not the awful incendiarism of that period—the houghing of cattle, and the destruction of sheep—proved in the evidence taken by the Poor Law Commissioners to have been brought about, directly or indirectly, by the mischievous operation of the Poor Laws ? Nay, is it not on record, as matter of fact not admitting of dispute, that while large tracts of land had been all but abandoned to the poor, because the rate necessary for their relief could not, along with the cost of tillage, be raised from them, much more was on the eve of sharing the same fate ?—the popu lation at the same time growing in iniquity and degra dation, in proportion as the means of relief were easy and ample—lncreasing in numbers and in the absence of all just pride and natural affection—living to eat, in stead of living to work—and caring not what the mor row might produce to themselves and others, provided the wants of to-day were supplied ? Such a picture of misery, of degradation, and of crime as the country presented—such a prospect of future calamity as it ex hibited under the old system of poor law manage ment—is not to be found elsewhere under the sun ; and yet with all these facts staring them in the face, there ara writers who would per suade the public that the past system ought to have remained intact, or at least to have been but slightly changed, and that the authors of the new are men of hard and flinty hearts, who have no bowels of com passion for the distressed, and would sternly sacrifice the whole poor of a country at the shrine of an expe riment based upon their peculiar theories I We an swer, in reply to such accusations, look on this picture and then on that —compare the past with the pre sent—the prospects of the one with the prospects of the other —prove to us that the country could have gone on even for five years more under the old sys tem—and we cry you mercy ; but until you have done so, we must even go forward in our own way, and in our own belief that the Poor Law Amendment Act is as just as it was imperatively called for, and its opera tion will result in more snbstantial benefit to the com munity than any other measure either of the reformed or of any other parliament.--Morning Advertiser. The Bishop of London reminds his clergy, that when he addressed them four years ago, he did not perceive amongst the Dissenters any symptoms of increased hostility towards the Established Church ; but it has since, he says, become apparent that the spirit of bitterness prevailed amongst them to a great ex tent, and waited only for an opportunity to break forth. " That opportunity was shortly afterwards afforded, in the excitement and agitation occasioned by the proposal and ac complishment of a great political change ; and the moment at which it was peculiarly to be desired that Christians of all de nominations should unite their efforts to tranquillize the public mind, and to allay those heats and dissensions which must ever be most injurious, not merely to the interests of this or that religious denomination, but to the cause of the gospel isself, —that moment was chosen by our adversaries to assail the Church and its ministers with every engine which the armoury of controversy could supply." The cool assurance of this representation is amaz ing. The Bishop complains that the enemies of the church seized the occasion of the reform excitement to attack its ministers ; and this assault, of course wholly unprovoked, he shows was the more culpable when it was peculiarly to be desired that Christians of all de nominations should unite their efforts to tranquillize the public mind, and allay heats and dissensions. Are we to understand, then, that during the reform agita tion the clergy were exerting themselves to tranquillize and allay heats and dissensions, and that they only re quired the aid of the Dissenters in this blessed work, instead of receiving which they were wantonly assailed ? Does the Bishop mean to say that the part which was generally acted by the clergy during the struggle for reform was the part of moderators and peace-makers ? Did they go up and down between the contending parties, as brothers of charity, neutral as to the subject of strife, and soothing irritation, and deprecating ani mosities? Was partisanship utterly unknown to them, and did they sedulously keep themselves clear of any active opposition to the public sentiment ? While the contest was raging were they seen apart, busy only in their saving functions, or were they observed foremost in the fray, striving and striking against the popular cause, and loudest in the din, shouting the war cry of corruption ? The Bishop of London sees the scars which the body of the Clergy received in that memo rable conflict ; but before he reprobates the virulence of those that struck the blows, he should establish the fact that they were unprovoked, or at least that the Clergy are not chargeable with having put themselves in the front of the battle array, opposed to the people. These are things which it would be well to forget, but Bishop Bloomfield has an ugly manner of reviving re collections. What can be so like the indiscretion which the ancients assigned to doomed men as the com plaint that the clergy were assailed during the reform struggle ? They certainly had not all the attack to themselves, and this seems hard to the Bishop. This is as if one man were to wound his hands in cuffing another, and then to hold up his bleeding knuckles in evidence of a cruel assault upon him. The church has, indeed, cause to tremble under the advocacy of Bishop Bloomfield. He is just one of those men, be tween abuse and reformation, who go far enough to disturb and loosen an impaired system, without going far enough to refix and settle it. In the storm-tossed ship he is for making an opening precisely between wind and water. He will unbolt the door to improve ment, and thinks to satisfy it with some few conces sions. He is liberal and enlightened enough to see the necessity of putting the house in order ; but the cellars and_ attics only, according to his notion, require cleansing and arrangement, and he has not a thought of any alterations in the drawing-rooms. Indeed, it is beautiful to see how he steers clear of his own case. All his ideas of reform are centrifugal. He says, that if any changes can be made in the dis tribution of the ecclesiastical resources which would have a clear and unquestionable tendency to increase the usefulness of the church, they ought to be carried into effect, " even if it be at the expense of some of those ornamental parts of the system, which have their uses, and those by no means unimportant ; yet not so im portant as that they should be suffered to stand in the way of improvements calculated to enhance and give lustre to the true beauty of the Church—the beauty of its holy usefulness." When we read this, we made sure of some surrender of the ornaments of the mitre —some renouncement of the pomp, not to say vani ties, of the purple ; but no—the Right Rev. Bishop had nothing of the kind in his thoughts ; he had in view only the regulation of pluralities. His ideas on this subject are not a little curious : " My own opinion is, that the most inconvenient kind of plurality, as far as the interests of parishes are concerned, is that by which two very poor benefices are held by the same incumbent ; especially if they are not absolutely contiguous to each living to other the least held injuriousleastbythe incumbent is that which permits a very small of benefice. The rea son o f t hi s will Le evident a everywell-endowed en person to who is practic a lly acqua i nted w i th the work i ng o f o ur paro, ,o rs chial system." This is a comfortable doctrine. To him who has mud more shall be given. The Bishop does not conceive that the incumbent of a well-endowed benefice can be employed in his parish so fully and proportionately to its emoluments that he cannot have leisure for the duties of another. He does not perceive that the in cumbent of the well-endowed benefice is overpaid in that parish if he has spare time even for a very small living elsewhere. But these things church reformers, who happen not to be Bishops, will surely see. The following is also a characteristic canon :—" It is much better that there should be a body of poor curates than of poor incumbents." Carrying up the reasoning, it is best of all that there should be rich Bishops. The shining mitre for the head of the Church,—the hum ble travel-worn sandal for its feet. The Bishop, how ever, wishes that all Clergymen could be well provided for ; but as this is impossible, he sees that the lower members can best bear nakedness. The following is his statement of the wealth of the Church : " The total number of benefices with and without cure of souls (including those churches and chapels which have no other endowment than that of pew-rents) is 10,701, and the total net income thereof is 3,058,2481., giving an average of 28.5/. for each. The total net income of the bishops, the ca thedral bodies, collegiate churches, and other ecclesiastical corporations of every kind, is 432,9421. If this weft added to the income of the benefices, and the whole were divided equally amongst the parishes in England and Wales, so much to the clergyman of each parish, no provision being made for the rulers or officers of the church, nor for a large body of curates, the average would be about 3261. net income for each--an amount barely exceeding that which, by almost common con sent, has been fixed upon as the minimum of provision for a well-educated man, set apart for the work of the Ministry, and cut off from all other sources of emolument." The first thought that mush occur to every impartial person on reading this statement is, that if the average income of the working clergy is so low, the more ine quitable is the great wealth of some of his bishoprics ; nay more, the average income of the Bishops--if we remember correctly, upwards of 5,0001. a year —comes into startling comparison with the average of the infe rior clergy at 2851. " Any thing like an equalization of church property" our Bishop is persuaded would be " most injurious to the interests of religion," but he does not explain why. He is content with declaring himself of that persuasion. He has a faith in rich sees and poor cures. The interests of religion are as the square of the distance between a Durham, a Can terbury, and a Welch Curate. The Bishop's persua sion is not to be controverted, and all that we have to say is, that it is a convenient and comfortable persua sion for a Bishop. People who live in palaces take a peculiarly complacent survey of the dispensation of cottages, and to attempt any thing like an equalization of abodes seem s n a t ur ally to them the most impoliti c thing conceivable. It is clear that the idea of the super abundant wealth of the superior clergy has never entered the head of ourßishop. His notion of reform would be little more than the building of about 1,000 new churches, and the appointment of twice as many new ministers. His Lordship says, " We want more churches and more clergymen ;" and, to give some poor notion of the extent of the want, he states that for the eastern and north-eastern districts of the metropolis there is an actual deficiency of 99 churches and 210 ministers ! We extract the calculation, in which it will be observed the existence of a Dissenter is not supposed "We want more churches and more clergymen. Take an instance of this. In the eastern and north-eastern districts of the metropolis there are 10 parishes, containing together a population of 353,460 persons. In these parishes there are 18 churches and chapels, served by 24 incumbents and curates, the average being not quite one church or chapel for every 19,000 souls, and one clergyman for every 14,000. Whereas, allowing a church and two clergymen for every 3,000 persons, there ought to be 117 churches, and 234 clergymen ; so that there is an actual deficiency of 99 churches and 210 ministers in that one part of a single diocess."— Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The proprietor of a ,l3lackwallo — mnilTus was summoned before the Loan MAYOR under the following circum stances : A gentleman stated that he and three of his family some days ago, upon arriving at Blackwall in a steamer, got into an omnibus and were driven to the Bank. Their luggage did not reach 100 lbs., and they were charged 12s, which the conductor insisted upon being paid. The proprietor of the omnibus had received from his conductor no more than ten shillings, and that the conduc tor assured him that the weight of the luggage was up wards of 3001bs. The LORD MAYOR—Then you have been cheated by your conductor and driver, who were not satisfied with having imposed upon this gentleman ? The Proprietor—No doubt of it ; that is often the case. I discharged the conductor and driver for not having come to meet the first summons of this gentleman ; but in a few days they will 'probably be taken into the service of some other owner, and this matter will be looked over. The Loan MAYOR said that if the owner took care to cause the driver and conductor to be brought before him satisfaction should be rendered. The proprietor paid the overcharge and the expenses which were caused by the misconduct of his servants, but the Lord Mayor remitted the penalty. A cabman was charged with having overcharged a gen tleman 6d. in a fare. The cabman had been cheated of sixpences hundreds of times by gentlemen, and he really considered that he ought to ask for sixpence more on this occasion for fear he should get sixpence less. The gentleman happened to give him all he asked, and disappeared before he had time to tell him the mistake.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAvon—l suppose you looked about for him? Cabman—Look for him, please your Lordship ! Upon my honour I drove up and down Cheapside for half an hour looking for him. A Policeman--Yes, but you were touting for a fare a the time. The LORD MAYOR—Pay the expenses of tfie summons and let me not see you again. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a man named James Bolton was brought be fore Mr. Alderman COPELAND, to answer the complaint of the overseers of Crippl ega t e f or neg l ect i ng t o ma i n t a i n hi s family, he being able to do so. Mr. Brake, the overseer, stated that the defendant was obstinate in refusing to support his two children, and he had been committed to Bridewell for three months in 1830, and in 1831 for six months, without bringing him to his duty. Since his last discharge from gaol he had suffered an arrear of upwards of 211. to accrue, and the parochial of ficers now wished to prosecute him to the utmost, with a view to having him transported for the offence. Mr. Bolton asked why his wife had not been produced before the Magistrate ? Mr. Brake said he did not know where to find her. He had endeavoured to trace her. Mr. Bolton said if she had been present he could have shown that she had been guilty of adultery, and that he was not liable to maintain the children. Mr. Brake said if he could establish what he asserted it would not alter his liability to keep the children. Mr. B. proceeded to prove the debt now due to the parish, and Mr. Symonds, from the Vestry Clerk's office, produced re cords of the prisoner's previous conviction. Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked him what he had to say so the charge ? Mr. Bolton said he had considered that he was not liable to keep the children, but he was ready to give the parish 71. as a composition for their claim, and to keep up his payments in future, or take the children. Mr. Brake would not accept this sum. He would rather see the prisoner transported as an example to other run away fathers. Mr. Bolton then begged for time to find out his wife and show the validity of his plea, which Mr. Alderman COPELAND readily agreed to allow him, and he was remanded to a future day. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Benjamin Walker, a painter, and member of the Trades' Unions, late in the employ of Messrs. Bennett and Hunt, builders, of the Horseferry-road, Westminster, was charged on a warrant with assaulting John Smith, by trade a smith, and not a member of the Union. Mr. Shuter, solicitor, of Milbank, attended to conduct th e prosecution. The prisoner was one of the party of Unionists who on Saturday week last followed Messrs. Bennett and Hunt's workmen, as they left the pay-table, Over Westminster-bridge, when the men were threatened and pelted with oyster-shells, and several of them were as saulted in the Westminster-road. One man last week, it will be remembered, was fined .5/., and to find sureties to keep the peace for six months. The evidence in this ease went to prove that the pri soner was one of the party ; that he called them knob sticks for signing the document, and that he said they ought to have their lives taken for so doing ; and that for the two previous Saturday nights his conduct had been the same. Several witnesses were examined ; but although it was proved that the prisoner had held up his fist and threatened the complainant, yet the mob and confusion were so great that none of the witnesses could actually swear that he was the man that committed the offence. The Magistrates, Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL, said that under these circumstances they could not proceed fur ther upoti the charge of assault, but proceedings might be taken against the prisoner under another Act of Par liament. After some conversation Mr. Shuter said that he should proceed against the prisoner under the Act of Parliament of the 6th Geo. IV., c. 129, which enacted that if any person used threatening or violent language to any workman to intimidate him from working, the Magistrates had the power of committing such offender for three months to the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard l a b our . The prisoner was then discharged for the assault, and a summons was granted against him to answer the complaint under the 6th Geo. IV. MORE INTIMIDATION.—John 111'Quin, a stonemason, and member of the Trades' Union, late in the employ of Mr. Cubitt, the builder, was brought up on a warrant by Dawson the officer, charged with assaulting Robert Cross, also a stogie-mason, now in the employ of Mr. Cubitt. The circumstances were these :—The Complainant had belongekto the Trades' Union, but he at last thought it better toAgn the masters' document and get into work, as he had aiarge family. He was immediately employed, and was put to work at Kensington Palace. Last Thursday evening, as he was returning home from work with some otheimen, they were met by the prisoner and others he longing to the Union, who grossly abused them for signing the masters document, and the prisoner at last kicked him. Previous to the case being called upon the prisoner was very anxious to settle the matter, and by the intervention of some friends it was agreed that the prisoner should pay the complainant a sovereign and the expenses as a compen sation, and they both shook hands and were friends. WORSHIP -STREET. Yesterday Charles Gray, an elderly man, was brought before Messrs. BROUGHTON and TWYFORD, charged with having obtained under false pretences a horse and chaise, valued at 44/., and on various other charges of swindling on a very extensive scale. The office was thronged to ex cess, principally with fashionable tradespeople from the west end of the town, who attended to prefer charges against the prisoner and his confederates.—The prisoner was re manded till Saturday next. • CHESTER, SEPT. 10 . —The respite for the assas sins of Mr. Ashton expires on the 18th inst. Nothing official has yet been received here respecting the execution. The question between the county palatine and the city as to who shall see execution done remains exactly in statu quo; and, as most of the Ministers are out of town, it is likely that a further respite will be sent from the Home Office, and highly proba ble that the knotty point in despute will not be finally settled until the meeting of Parliament. The culprits cannot under stand the cause of their execution being delayed, and believe it is in the hope of inducing them to make some disclosures to implicate the original instigators of the murder ; they are, therefore, the more sullen and reserved in their intercourse with those necessarily in attendance upon them. Nothing is hoped for from them. BURIAL OF ELLEN LEFEVRE AND HER FOUR CHILDREN. Saturday having been appointed for the interment of Ellen Lefevre and her four children, great crowds assem bled round St. James's Church, Clerkenwell, at an early hour in the morning, to witness the melancholy ceremony. The tops of the houses and windows, and, in fact, every situation from which the burial ground could be seen, were thronged with anxious spectators of all ages and sexes. Tuesday was the day first fixed for the funeral taking place, but the committee were enabled, through the money already gathered, to get every thing in readiness by Saturday. Twelve o'clock was the hour fixed for the procession to start. The churchwardens, overseers, and other parish au thorities, determined on getting up the funeral in a respec table way, and had made every arrangement for that pur pose. The coffins were made in a very neat style, with black nails and covering, and on Friday the remains of the unfortunate creatures were deposited within them, and left in the parish vaults below the church. The first coffin, containing Ellen Lefevre and her babe, bore the following inscription :—" Ellen Lefevre, aged 25, and her infant son, aged eight months, brutally murdered by Steinberg, on Monday, September Bth, 1834." The second, " Henry Steinberg, aged .51, brutally murdered." The deaths of John Steinberg, aged four years and six months, and El len Steinburg, aged two years and nine months, were simi larly described. At half-past twelve o'clock the Rev. Mr. Dolman, and the mourners, who consisted of the Committee for raising the subscription, and the mother and sister of Lefevre, proceeded in procession from the vestry room to the entrance of the vault, from which the coffin containing the remains of the murdered persons were brought ; they then proceeded into the body of the church, while the bell was tolling—the palls being borne by four individuals with wands. Mrs. Lefevre and the sister of the deceased woman were scarcely able to walk, and were supported by Mr. May, vocalist of Covent-garden, and the English Opera House Theatres, and Mountstevens, the beadle. On the bodies being taken into the church the most profound silence was observed whilst the Rev. Mr. Dolman read over the burial service in an impressive manner. The re mains of the deceased were at length brought out, and the procession moved on towards the grave, which was dug on the south side of the church, about 17 feet deep, and in which the whole of the coffins were to be placed. The usual service having been performed over the bodies, the procession returned to the vestry-room. The mother and sister were deeply affected. It is the intention of the Committee to raise a subscrip tion for the purpose of erecting a head and foot stone over the grave, with an inscription, as a memento of the awful brutal transaction, stating how and by whom they were murdered, with an appropriate epitaph. The deceased, Steinberg, it appears, must have washed his hands after having committed the murders, for in the same room in which Lefevre and her infant were found murdered, a wash-hand-bason, containing bloody water, was standing on the dressing-case. He a ft erwar d s proceeded to the kitchen,' and, from the position in which he was found lying, there is no doubt whatever but he sat down on the floor to cut his own throat. On-Thursday night last, when his remains were buried in the poor -ground of Clerkenwell parish, a peculiarly curious ceremony was observed, in lieu of the old custom of driving a stake through the body. The shell containing the deceased was laid by the side of the grave ; the body was taken out by two men, one at the head, and another at the feet ; they held it horizontally over the grave, when they gave it a turn, and it fell to the bottom, with the face downwords, resting on the arms. When the earth was partly over the body, one of the assist ants struck the earth immediately, over the deceased's skull many times as hard as he could, with a large iron mallet, with a view, as we understood, to smash the head. Many persons conceived that a stake was being driven through his body, but they were undeceived by the information that it was the mere matter of form at the burial of a felo de se. Steinberg was a man of very retired habits, and became acquainted with Lefevre under rather singular circum stances. About seven years ago, when he separated from his wife, he lived in Cirencester-buildings, Hampstead -road. On quitting her Mrs. Steinberg had a child of 12 or 13 years old. The deceased took apnrtments at the house of Mr. Marshall, ironmonger, of Hampstead-road, whom he referred to several respectable gentlemen, who spoke of him in the highest terms. Mr. Marshall arranged that deceased should have somebody to clean down the stairs leading to his rooms once a week, and the unfortunate Ellen Lefevre, then a beautiful girl of 17 years of age, used to attend with her mother for that purpose. He (Steinberg) shortly was noticed to pay great attention to the former, and Mr. Mar shall was led to conceive she had become something more than a servant in the eye of the deceased, which was ulti mately confirmed by his taking her entirely to his protec tion, and she becoming enceinte. While he was at this house Mrs. Steinberg discovered his retreat and illicit connexion with Lefevre, and she called at Mr. Mar shall's house on several occasions, and was once given into custody for creating a disturbance there. The conclusion drawn was, that she was pursuing her husband for a separate maintenance, and it is said that up to the time of his death he was under an order of magistracy to allow her 10s. per week. He lodged at Mr. Marshall's little more than twelve months, during which period he behaved with mildness of disposition ; waJ tenacious in his pecuniary dealings, always showed a disposition to pay, and an enraged and an insulted feeling if pressed for money. He exhibited great loving-kindness towards Lefevre, who seemed equally fond of him. She gave birth to a babe at Mr. Marshall's, and they soon afterwards left him and took a house, No. 12, William -street, Hampstead-road, where he carried on the trade of a whip-maker, and had his name on the door upon a brass plate. He appeared to be in re spectable circumstances. He was viewed by the inhabi tants as a highly respectable tradesman, and was credited by them, and his conduct towards Lefevre was generally remarked as being that of a quiet, kind, and indulgent hus band ; he seldom quitted the house without having her in his company. He lived in William-street upwards of two years, and Lefevre there gave birth to two more children ; he next took the house, No. 12, Sidney-terrace, Blackney's lane, Chelsea, where also he gained the good opinion of all who knew him. He removed from thence 15 months ago to Southampton-street, Pentonville, the spot of the fatal tragedy, where Lefevre bore him the fourth babe. Steinberg's son, who, it is said, is a lawyer's clerk, at tended on Friday morning at the house where the murders were perpetrated, with a horse and cart, and having paid the rent due, he carried away the few remaining articles in the house. The unfortunate mother and sister of Lefevre, it ap pears, have for some years past gone through a series of affliction and distress. They appeared on Saturday to be completely worn down by grief and distress. A Mr. Mace, a coach-builder, of No. 1, York-square, Regent's-park, who has acted a friendly part towards them, has given them shelter. Twelve months ago, Mrs. Lefevre's husband, who was a bookseller in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, committed an act of suicide by cutting his throat, ever since which she has been in much trouble.—Morning Paper. THE MURDERER STEINBERG. It is the opinion of a medical gentleman who examined the bodies of the murderer and his victims immediately after the discovery had been made, that Steinberg, after he had cut the throats of the young woman and his -four children, must have allowed a lapse of four hours, at least to occur before he put the finishing stroke to the horrible tragedy by cutting his own throat. It is also very currently believed, that some stupifying drug had been introduced into either the beer or the liquor which was sent for by the murderer Steinberg, and of which the young wo man Lefevre partook. The following account of the motives of the murderer Steinberg for his recent visit to Germany with his victims, is from the statement of a near relative. Mrs. Steinberg, his wife, who is a German, was possessed of some pr o p er t y i n h er own r i ght, which' was, however, so situated that it reverted to her husband after her death. It was with a view of gaining possession of this property by a fraudulent account of his real wife's death that the jour ney was undertaken. The matter having reached the ears of Mrs. Steinberg, measures were taken to frustrate his designs, and a letter was accordingly written to Germany, which reached its destination two days before the arrival of the murderer with his family. Not being aware of the letter, the murderer introduced the young woman Lefevre to his sister and relatives as his lawful wife, and the children as his family by her, asserting that his former wife had been dead some years. Having taken certain steps with a view of getting the property in question, the friends of Mrs. Steinberg were enabled to defeat them in consequence of the information which had been so opportunely conveyed through the letter. A PARALLEL CASE TO THE HORRIBLE MURDER AT PENTONVILLE, OF A FAMILY DESTROYED BY THEIR FATHER. In the city of Hamburg, in 1803 there lived a candidate for Holy Orders (as they call an unordained clergyman in Protestant Germany), of the name of Riesau. He was a man much respected for the general good tenor of his con duct, and kept an academy for the education of youth, in the Groningen-street, near the Senate House and Exchange, the most central and respectable part of the city of Ham burg. His family consisted of his wife and six or seven children, all daughters, the eldest of whom, at the period above stated, was betrothed to a young man holding a si. tuation in a public office. Amongst the pupils of the Rev. Mr. Riesau there were a few boarders, who, of course, slept in the house ; and it was his laudable custom to exhort them all to goodness and virtue on their retiring to bed. On a Sunday evening. the night of the horrible tragedy in question, Mr.. Riesau had some serious conver sation with his wife, on the sad probability of some of their numerous family—being all girls —deviating from t h e path of virtue, and suffering the horrors of a career of infamY and vice. " Sooner would I behold them die before my very_ eyes," exclaimed the agitated father. His wi fe endeavoured to calm his ruffled feelings, and they retired to repose. About midnight Ri esau go t out of bed, struck a light, and taking his razors from the case, proceeded deliberately to commence the horrid work of death. Going into the cham ber where slept two of his youngest children, he cut their_ throats in their sleep, without awakening or injuring two of He u t au then his little pupils, who slept in the same apartme nt. entered his wife's room, and with incredible c elerity p end to her existence, and two more of his daughters, in the same horrible manner. His eldest girl, who was shortly to have been married, slept up stairs with two of her sisters ; thither the wretched man now proceeded, his hands im brued in the blood of those he loved so dear l y , and in a few ..4. • the moments the two younger girls had cease d to ex ist t t eldest girl, however, happened to awake at t he very morneil, her father was approaching her ; she sprang out o f b 0 fell on her knees, implored him to sp are her lifer urging, that being on the eve of marriag e she was, at all events, sure o a protector and a home ; ill-fated man refused to listen to her plea ; and aftecrt inflicting on her several dreadful gashes, succeed e -n spite ultimately in effecting his horrid purpose, i after her resistance. About one o'clock in the morning, washing his blood-stained hands, Riesau left morning house , locked the door, and, proceeding to the borders of the rirl but the Elbe, he deliberately walked into the water, probablY eve T ? ow the intent to d r o wn hi m s e lf. The water was, howr very low, and when about up to his middle, h e took a p knife from his pocket an d i n flicted an incision , though by as no' means dangerous, on hi s throat. In this situation he vi discovered, and taken o u t o f the water by a watchman_; being conveyed t o th e w atch-house, he was soon recognized, but refused to b e t a k en h ome . In' the early part of the morning the horrible deed came to light. At first, Riesa an denied all knowledge thereof, but ultimately confessed, ti n' related all the particulars. He was soon a fter Pu t be his h • trial, and sentenced by th e Hamburg Senate ta ra broken on, or rather by, the wheel, from head to foot „.‘ l l 8 German, von oben nach unten, as more lenient tha n l l_ contrary, as the first stroke of the wheel breaks bone and causes instant death.) The house where the above horrible crime was Pe 3 r l l o , Crated remained empty, as an accursed abode, from 18° i 1814, when a Jew, of the name of Sachse, on condition a getting it nearly rent free, opened it in the tobacco busiar-g*_. the bras and the prejudice having died away, did very good bole% This case is parallel to that of Steinberg, of Peutevld in in hi every point except that the Hamburg murderer fadlfold. 2 attempt at suicide, and expiated his life upon the oc— LONDON MARKETS.
