SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A clause has been introduced by Mr. Poulett Thomson in the Customs Bill, for the purpose of en abling the Treasury to grant to important inland towns the privileges of establishing warehouses for bonding goods—a power already exercised with regard to ports. ... Of the justice, - as well as the policy, of such a measure, it might have been supposed that no doubt could be entertained. Why Manchester, and Birmingham, and Leeds, and Sheffield, should not enjoy the benefit of becoming entrepots to the consumption of their re spective neighbourhoods, it is difficult to guess. If the revenue be secured from risk of loss, and the ex pense of fresh establishments of offices be not exces sive, then surely there can be no justice in withholding • from a great town, however it happens to be thirty or forty miles from the sea, the advantages which may be conferred without dispute upon every fishing village ; nor any policy in depriving it, as well as the large circle of which it may be the centre, of a share in those benefits which have resulted to the ports of this country • from the bonding system, so far as this has hitherto prevailed. In the clauses introduced by Mr. Poulett Thomson both of these possible objections are com pletely removed. The revenue will be secured from any risk of loss, however remote, because the goods will be transmitted to the inland bonding warehouses under surety that the duty payable upon the quantities or weight so sent shall be eventually paid ; and the expense of establishments, which, we understand, is in no case estimated to exceed 7001. or 800/., must be guaranteed to the Customs previously to the town being sanctioned by the Treasury as a place of deposit. It might have been supposed, therefore, that no ob jection could have been made in any quarter to an ar rangement calculated so much to promote the ends both of justice and sound policy, and least of all should we have anticipated opposition from those who profess themselves to be the warm advocates of com mercial liberty. It is with no little surprise, then, that we have found amongst the opponents of this mea sure Mr. Joseph Hume. That Liverpool, and Hull, and the London Docks should, through their Representatives, endeavour to prevent a general benefit for the sake of their own mono polies, is not a matter of astonishment, although, as was well observed by Mr. Cayley, in a late morn ing sitting—such of those gentlemen even as have hitherto professed themselves friends of free trade, might have been wiser than have thus sacrificed their _ principles at the shrine of their warehouse-keeping supporters ; but that Mr. Hume should have joined in the cry for monopoly is, indeed, a little astounding. We should not have thought that the influence of the few Middlesex voters who have taken fright for the value of their shares in the docks would have been suf ficient to have made this black white in the eyes of their calculating representative. For the sake of the public, we trust that the efforts of these monopolists will not succeed—that the measure will be persevered in during this Session of Parliament. It has been long promised, and the great towns are anxiously ex pecting it. Whatever tends to facilitate commercial transactions, whkever gives the. means of extending business without additional expense of capital, is bene ficial in the highest degree to the community ; and we view this measure as calculated to produce important results in both of these views. We repeat, that we hope the measure will be persevered in, and we have no fears of the result of any division in the House which may range the friends of monopoly against the friends of a liberal commercial policy.—Morn. Chron. The number of letters which we contin u e t o rece i ve on the subject of the flogging operation in St. George's Barracks is a proof how deeply it has sunk into the public mind. Though we are quite aware that the practice of flogging in the Army has its advocates, both in the Army and in the Press of this country, and though we at once admit the importance of the statement made by Mr. Ellice, in the conversation which took place in the House of Commons on Mon day night, as to the great increase of crime amongst the soldiery, still we are confident that any inquiry, conducted fairly and without prejudice, must tend to the abolition of torture as a mode of punishment, and the substitution of some other in its place. We shall be told, no doubt, as we have been often told before, that it betrays an affectation, nay, a sickliness of sen timent, to exclaim against the practice of whipping men like brutes. But whatever censure may, in the estimation •of some persons, attach to our opinions and feelings in this respect, it is a censure which the great mass of society is equally exposed to ; for, as the Secretary at War will himself admit, " the spirit of the age" and the schoohnaster's perambula tions are at variance with the cat-o'-nine-tails. There fore, we say, inquire by all means whether lEngland be the only country, and Englishmen the only soldiers, in which and amongst whom discipline cannot be pre served except by means which outrage the feelings of the community and degrade the character of man. With respect to the particular case, the circumstances . of which have produced so deep an impression, we shall only observe that the statement of 'Mr. Tennyson corroborated the account of our Correspondent in its principal details, and that we hope the admission of the Secretary at War as to the conduct which the Com manding Officer ought to have pursued on observing the effects of the punishment upon the bystanders, will be felt as it ought to be in the proper quarter. With out attempting at all to palliate the offences for which the unfortunate man suffered, it does strike us as rather extraordinary that the largest measure of punishment should be assigned to him, as many in number, and as severe in application, as even Military law allows. Let us hope, however, that the prospect which seems again to open on us of improvement will not be frus trated as when Sir John Hobhouse was Secretary at War ; in which capacity, instead of correcting errors, he took the tone from his predecessors in office, and became the apologist of the system he had so often denounced.—Morning Herald. The scheme of Australian colonization has made its way into the House of Commons, and in favour of it a Bill has been already drawn up, and stands for a second reading to-night. There is no reason that we can perceive, why any number of persons who think proper, should not agree upon a plan of emigration to Australia or to any other part of the world. But there • are some reasons why such people should not on in sufficient data be suffered to enlist the authority of the State in support of their particular' project, and under the imposing recommendation of an Act ofPar liament or Charter, to seduce a large proportion of British subjects into measures, which, if left to any chance of adoption which might arise out of the na tural and intrinsic merit of the scheme proposed, un aided by such adventitious influence, would never for a moment be thought of by any reasonable man. We have already shown that it was our wish to discounte nance the boastful and inflated language in which the advocates of the " Southern Australian Colony," have spoken of its " certain advantages" as su perior to those offered by any existing colony. It appeared to us, that a string of abstract propositions, each—for ought :we know —sound in itself, presented no solid security to the pub lic that any one of them would be so acted on by the new company as to realize the fruits and profits of which it was declared on paper or in speeches to be the necessary source. It appeared to us. that any ne w "joint-stock company" ought, in common modesty and decency, to bring forward some grounds of confi . dence in the discretion, the honesty, the efficiency of its members, after all the disgraceful and ruinous cala mities of which joint-stock transactions had been pro ductive within the memory of the youngest man amongst us. But then we are told, by thecsecrpeatnar;, (Mr. Gouger) that there was no joint-stock oin nor any " company " at all. Then who and 'what, in the name of wonder, are they? A set of men put forth their names as directors, secretaries, and the Lord knows what ; they talk of their intending to accomplish ex traordinary objects, and to proceed by extraordinary means, and to take vast trouble, and even, if they mean anything consistent or intelligible, to incur no small re sponsibility. And yet when we talk oftheir being a Com pany, they turn short round upon us, and protest that they are " no company," and that no one individual of their whole body is to be a particle the better (save only ,eCt to the consciousness of doing good) for all his drial and most laborious exertion s . Wh y, we never . eard of patriotism so refined as this —we never before !7-"f 1 44,1„,,,i; c" . . heard of an association like this, where all the...work is to be done gratuitously—work of an enduring and fa tiguing kind—and none of those who perform the la bour to derive the smallest remuneration for their ser vices, and no bond of union amongst them, that we can find out, but their concurrence in a certain theory of colonization. Now, enthusiasm may do well enough to bring people together, but it seldom keeps them together long. It is a fortunate conductor where it happens to exist, but it is a feeble binder; and yet on what else, according to their own account of them selves, do the Australian speculators depend for their cohesion or for the success of their scheme ? Is this, however, so ? Have all dealers in abstract proposi tions of necessity no interest in propounding them be yond that of truth itself? Colonel Torrens was par ticularly earnest in maintaining some of the abstract re solutions which were passed at a certain meeting in Exeter Hall ; but had the gallant and philosophical gentleman no " speculation in his eye" beyondthe establishment of a mere conclusion in political economy ? Why it turns out that he is to be governor of the new colony; and to have his salary paid, no doubt, from the proceeds of some of those ingenious loans for the discharge of which the said colony—that is (failing every other security), the land, purchased at so much per acre, and held out as so capital a bargain—is we presume to be mortgaged. How many more of the political eco nomists engaged in the business of puffing this mag nified enterprise are to be personally promoted or be nefitted through its consummation, we, not being in the secret, cannot so much as guess. But without diving into the motives of such advocates, we shall just repeat that it nowhere appears on the face of their proceed ings by what bond the portion of the company, or " society" (if they like the word better), who remain at home, are to be kept together, through what induce ment or obligation they are to be permanently influenced to devote their time and efforts to the perpetual busi ness of maintaining " the proportion between capi tal and labour," by carrying on the enlistment of labourers wherever they are to be had throughout the United Kingdom, or how those labourers are to be tempted to Spencer's Gulf in preference to other colo nies. When we objected some time ago to the folly of assuming that purchasers would be preYailed on to buy land in the new wilderness, knowing that if they thought fit they might obtain it in other colonies for comparatively nothing, we were answered that the practice of giving away land by his Majesty's Govern ment had ceased, and that in truth it could not be procured anywhere on easier terms than on Spencer's Gulf. Now see how this statement bears upon an other branch of the calculations of these gentlemen. They tell us that there is no getting, or at least no. re taining, labourers in the other colonies of the crown of England, because no man will remain a labourer when he can be a proprietor for nothing, and there fore that the system of taking out redemptioners, as they are called—that is, labourers apprenticed for a certain term —can never be enforced in the old colo nies. Then let us ask if, as the Australian sages have affirmed, it be quite as difficult to become a proprietor in the old colonies as in that which is under consideration, why should the indented labourers (or redemptioners) in those colonies be more difficult to retain in the service of their masters than in Southern Australia, or, to speak more directly, how can the emigrant labourers to Southern Australia be prevented from quittin g their masters and setting up for themselves, a n d thus defacing the scientific pro portion between capital and labour more effectually than the same class of emigrant labourers to Canada, Van Dieman's Land or the Cape ? There is nothing cheaper than a fine-spun theory ; the brains of your political economists exhibit an absolute diarrhoea of that description. But who is the better for it ? Their booksellers doubtless, for we are sorry to say, that trash which nobody would be at the trouble of testing by experiment is sure of sale among certain- circles—a sale as creditable, though not so extensive; as that of Mirrerva-press novels in the last generation. The public has hitherto been kept in the dark upon some important points of the present venture. Who are to have the charge of selling the lands ? Who are to have the handling of the money ? Who are to have the patronage and government of the colony ? Who are to determine the sort of constitution by which it is hereafter to be regulated ? We should like to be in formed on these points.— Times. EXCISE REVENUE. We are happy to observe, that the reports of the Com mission appointed last year to inquire into the revenue of excise, have been presented to the House of Commons. The reports actually presented are but seven in number, though they include the eighth, the seventh not being yet quite completed. The important subject on which they treat, and the numerous changes which they recommend, will sufficiently prove the necessity of a much more sifting inquiry into the Excise than could by possibility have been conducted by the Treasury alone ; and the number of wit nesses examined by the Commissioners will show that they, on their part, have not been negligent of the trust confided to them. Much yet remains to be done ; but as we have reason to believe that other reports are in great forwardness, we may anticipate the conclusion of the inquiry in the course of the next session of Parliament. In the mean time, we think our readers will be inte rested in a short detail of the reports already pre sented. They are as follow :-1, tea ;2, wine ;3, sum mary jurisdiction ; 4, beer ; 5, stone bottles and sweets ; 6. tobacco ; 7, spirits (not yet presented) ; 8, starch. The first, second, fourth, and sixth reports treat of those arti cles which are under the survey of the Excise, although they receive no duty from them, and the Commissioners of Inquiry recommend that this survey should be wholly discontinued in all these cases. The reasons that have induced them to adopt this conclusion seem to be well grounded, and rest principally upon the little benefit which results from the survey, as compared with its positive expense, and its serious inconvenience to the public, and to the traders. It appears from the showing of the excise officers themselves, that a saving of 100,0001. might be made in their expenditure if these four surveys were to be abolished. The third report treats of the jurisdiction which the excise exercises, not only over the traders subject to their laws, but also over all other persons who, by fraudu lent proceedings, may injure that branch of the revenue. The Board of excise are at present judges in their own cause, and sit in their own court. The Commission of In quiry has recommended the abolition of this anomalous ju risdiction, as well as of a Court of Appeal consisting of three or four commissioners, who have enjoyed complete sine cures for the last twelve years. The fifth report, on the subject of the duties on stone bottles and sweets, exposes the absurdity of these two miserable sources of revenue, and recommends their repeal. The seventh report, on spirits, which is not yet presented, is of the greatest importance, and we shall refer to it on a future opportunity. The eighth report relates to starch, and the repeal of this duty is also recommended for various and very sufficient reasons. The mischiefs it has produced will, we think, be apparent; when we state that the quantity of starch consumed in Ireland, where there is no duty on that article, is equal to that which pays duty in Great Britain, where the popula tion is more than double, and certainly much richer than that of the sister country. The ninth report, which relates, we believe, to vinegar, has not yet been presented to the House. The Commissioners of Inquiry report to the Tr e a sur y, and their re p or t s are t h en presen t e d b y his Majesty's com mands to the Commons. PITILADELPHIA.—On the evening of the 7th inst. I was called out by a neighbour to witness a phenomenon in the sky, which —as it was uncommon, and likely to be seen by many—l expected would have been noticed by some of thy very intelligent correspondents ; but not having seen anything upon the subject, please accept the following description of it as it appeared to me :—ln the south-west a bright white light appeared, streaming up towards the zenith, quite narrow, and (as one who saw its first rising said) like a jet of water from a hose pipe, and very rapidly extended, nearly in a north-easterly di rection, entirely across the horizon ; after it had attained to an elevation of about 40 to 45, it separated into three or four streams, faintly blended together by their edges, more dense in their middle parts, but not so as to obscure the stars, which were visible through any part of it during the whole time ; the north eastern extremity appeared eradually to move about two points northward. The brightness of the light continued about fif teen minutes, gradually fading away, and disappeared in about half an hour. The day had been cloudy, with slight dropping of rain, the thermometer ranging from 50 to 74, the evening was clear and pleasant, and, particularly after the disappear ance of the light alluded to, was remarkably fine. The ap pearance of the light was much like those light clouds that are often seen in summer, and most probably was a narrow stratum of the electric fluid, passing at a very high elevation, and had it appeared from the north, would no doubt have been viewed as a splendid display of the aurora borealis. Not professing to much science, I should be pleased to see from an abler pen some account of a phenomenon, the sight of which was calcu lated to excite those emotions of admiration and wonder which the works of nature, whether common or extraordinary, always produce in a contemplative mind.—New York Daily News, May 31. THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1834, ROLLS' COURT, JULY 21. GLASSINGTON Vi THWAITES-MORNING HERALD NEWSPAPER Mr. STUART, our readers will recollect, some days ago ob tained an order from. his Honour for winding up this long and important suit, the Learned Counsel, on asking for the order, stating that an arrangement proposed by the Master had been approved of by all parties. This morning, at the sitting of the Couit, Mr. Glassington, the plaintiff, stated to his Honour that no satisfactory arrange ment had been come to with him, and that the entire proceed ing was without his knowledge, his Solicitor never having consulted him upon it. Such being the case, he trusted his Honour would not allow the decree obtained to be drawn up until he had had an opportunity of considering what course he should pursue. His HONOUR said Mr. Stuart was not now in Court, but no decree should be drawn until his Honour had heard what he had to say to the statement made by the plaintiff. Mr. Glassington then bowed and left the Court. Mr. STUART, at the rising of the Court, stated that he had been informed that the case of Glassington and Thwaites had been mentioned to his Honour by the plaintiff. The MASTER of the ROLLS said that, at the sitting of the Court, a gentleman had stated that it was a misrepresentation to state that an amicable arrangement had been come to ; that he had not authorized his solicitor to enter into any arrange ment ; that all that had been done was without his knowledge ; and he therefore trusted the Court would not hold him bound by the decree. Mr. STUART said that he received his instructions from most respectable solicitors, who, he was sure, would not be parties to any underhand arrangement, and on those instructions he acted in the application he had made to the Court. The ar rangement did not emanate from the solicitors, but from the Master himself, and that arrangement he (Mr. S.) thought was highly beneficial to all parties in the cause, and more es pecially to Mr. Glassington. The MASTER of the ROLLS—You had better communicate, Mr. Stuart, to the solicitor what Mr. Glassington has stated. Mr. STUART—Yes, Sir; but it is rather odd that Mr. Glassington should not have gone to his own solicitor. CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 22. (Before Dr. LUSHINGTON. TONGUE V. ALLEN, FALSELY CALLING HERSELF ALLEN JUDGMENT. This was a suit commenced by Mr. Edward Coxall Tongue, for a nullity of marriage celebrated between him and Mrs. Mary Anne Allen, on the alleged ground of undue publication of banns. From the proceedings in the cause it appeared that the parties were published as Edward Croxhall, bachelor, and Mary Anne Allen, spinster, she being a widow. Counsel having been heard on both sides, Dr. LUSHINGTON went over the facts of the case, and de cided that as there was no proof that the undue publication of banns was with the consent of both parties, the marriage could not be set aside. It had been decided that unless the banns were knowingly and wilfully published falsely by both parties, the marriage could not be set aside, and it was his duty to pro nounce that in this case the husband had failed in his proof to show cause why the marriage should be set aside. LAMBERT V. LAMBERT. This was a suit commenced by Georgiana C. Lambert against her husband, Captain Lambert, for the restitution of conjugal rights, which was met by the husband with an alle gation imputing adultery to the wife. Mrs. Lambert, in a very long responsive allegation of forty-two articles, recriminated upon the Captain, and denied that the charge against her was true. The admission of the responsive allegation was opposed on the ground that it was extremely vague. The allegation given in by the husband imputed the commission of adultery with a certain Earl whilst in Italy, with a Major of Dragoons, and with a Gentleman residing rt Weymouth. Dr. LUSIIINGTON proceeded to state the contents of the forty-two articles, and while he rejected many he admitted all that he considered material to go to proof, in order that the wife might be enabled if she could to establish her innocence of the charge made against her. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGHAM, JULY 21. Wm. Hinckley was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Frances Hinckley. Joseph Peet—ls a lacemaker. In June last was lodging at William Tuckwood's, in Nottingham, which opposite the house of Thomas Peck. A wo man who wey the name of Fanny Young was lodging there. On the 27th of June last the prisoner came to witness's lodgings in Beck-lane, and asked for his wife and said, " At least I suppose it is Mrs. Bull now ; that he wanted his clothes, and, if she had pawned them, the tickets." She was living at the time with one William Bull, and was called Fanny Young. Prisoner went to the window and looked to the opposite ones, where Fanny Young, so called, sat. Prisoner said, " Isn't it hard for my wife to bring my curtains to lie with another man?" Witness said, " If it was known she was a married woman it would be the cause of her leaving the neighbourhood." Prisoner went out ; on his return he took a knife off the table, drew his hand down it, and said he wished that link of steel was into her. He then opened the door, and said he should like to see her, and went into Peck's house. Witness saw him go up the staircase. Rebecca Peck proved the deceased lodged in her house for two years up to the last New-year's day, cohabiting with Bull. She then left, and returned the Monday before the murder, which was committed on the Friday. On that day prisoner came to witness's house, and went into the deceased's room. Witness followed in five or ten minutes, and said " Fanny, what's up, what's up ?" He said, " Mrs., I'm her lawful hus band." Witness said " You her lawful husband ?" He said, " Yes ; we've been married these eleven years." Witness said, " Oh, Fanny, how many times have you told me you never was before a parson to be married in your life." De ceased, " I have told you so." Witness said, "Go and live with him, and make yourself happy and comfortable." She said, " I never will ; he only wants me to work for hint and his bastard, and I would rathe r go t o serv i ce or se ll ma t c hes. Witness turned to go down ; deceased said, " Don't go, Peck ;" but witness went down, and her husband came in shortly after. Shortly after witness heard them both fall down together. Heard the deceased call out very loud. Witness's husband ran up stairs. Thomas Peck corroborated his wife's evidence, with this ad dition : when he got into the room heard deceased say, " You know you have used me very ill, like a rogue and a brute." Witness went dowii to his dinner, but returned on hearing a scream. Saw them on the floor. Prisoner had his hand thrust into her neck, his left knee on the floor on her clothes, his right leg across her body, and his knife at her throat. It was a clasp knife.—( It was produced, and witness identified it. ) He kept jobbing away at her throat with the knife while wit ness tried to prevent him, but he kept hacking at her throat, hands, and neck. Witness dragged them both to the window, when he saw blood on her person and on the floor. Witness called for assistance, but it was a quarter of an hour, when Barrows, a constable, came in. The room was like a slaughter house, being all in a puddle of blood. He did not loose his hold till struck twice on the arm, nor did he let the knife go then. He was struck on the head with a staff, and then let the knife fall. Prisoner then got up, and stepped to the other side of the body. The deceased gave a rise, made a spring, threw herself on her stomach, and expired. Prisoner, when looking at the WY, said, " Let me wipe my hands," and afterwards he said, " Let me kiss her ;" the c o nstable said, " You have done enough." Prisoner looked at her and said, ' " I am satisfied." Joseph Barrows corroborated the testimony of tile last wit ness, and took the prisoner into custody. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. His Lordship, in a very feeling manner, proceeded to pass the extreme sentence of the law upon the prisoner, ordering him to be taken to exe cution on Wednesday morning. During the whole of the time occupied in the trial the pri soner was apparently engaged in prayer, and seemed to take little notice of anything passing around. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—DORCHESTER, JULY 21. The commission was opened in this town on Saturday. The calendar is very light, as it contains only eight names, of which one is for murder, the remainder for ordinary offences. There are twelve causes entered for trial, which exceed the average number for this place; one of these, it is expected, will occupy two days. Sir James Scarlett has come down specially for the defendant in that cause. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who has now joined the circuit, will appear on the other side. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON. ) Robert Sexey was charged with maliciously shooting at Henry House, the younger, with intent to do him some griev ous bodily harm. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for humanity. It appeared that ho was gamekeeper to a neigh bouring gentleiiian. Verdict--Guilty. Sentence of death re cor d e d. William Read was convicted of having felonio u sly assau l te d Frederick Forward, with an intent to rob him. To be imprisoned for nine months. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAMBRIDGE, JULY 21. (Before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET.) James Eve, aged 29, was indicted for feloniously stabbing a horse, the prop er ty o f Willi am C ornwa ll, o f S e h am. The prosecutor is a farmer of Soham, a large and populous parish in this county, for which place he has been one of the churchwardens for the last two or three years. In the course of his duty in that office he has introduced a very material change in the administration of the Poor Laws, having made precisely the regulations which one part of the Bill for the " amendment" of those laws has enacted. Mr. Cornwall, thinking that he could reduce the burden of the poor-rates, introduced a regulation to the effect that no pauper should be relieved or put on work for the parish out of doors, but that he should have a ticket given to him, which should entitle him to admission into the workhouse of the parish, where he was to be set to work. The prisoner was a pauper, and having applied about the end of April to the prosecutor for relief, the latter gave him a ticket for admission into the workhouse. The pri soner grumbled at this, and said " he would be a match for the prosecutor," and used other insulting language towards him. It appeared, however, that the resentment against Cornwall's regulation was very generally felt by all the paupers of the parish, amongst whom the scheme was very unpopular, and that others besides the prisoner had held the like language. On the morning of Sunday, the 3d of May, a fine horse belonging to Cornwall was found to have been severely stabbed in the flank ; he had bled a good deal, and after lingering in agony for two days he was obliged to be shot. In order to connect the prisoner with the perpetration of this offence evidence was given by which it appeared that on tile eight of Saturduy, the 3d of May, he and one Isaacson werc djinking at a beer-house, which placr they left in company togkher, and were afterwards seen standing in the market-place, which was not in the way from the beer-shop to the prisoner's house, but was in the way from the prisoner's house to the prosecutor's stables. On searching the prisoner on the day after the horse had been found wounded, a. knife was found in his pocket, which was afterwards introduced into the wound in the skin of the animal, and found to fit it in breadth exactly ; but a knife found on Isaacson (who was also apprehended) also fitted the hole in the skin. A fortnight before the perpetration of this cruel offence, the prisoner was at the same beer-house at which he was on the night before the horse was found wounded. He had the ticket for his admission into the workhouse which the prosecutor had given to him, which he handed about to the persons assembled there, observing at the same time, that " anybody might have it that wished:" he further observed to the company that " Cornwall ought to have a private injury done to him for it," and used other offensive and threatening language. About the same time he also met one Peach, who had formerly been constable of the parish, to whom he said, " You have been constable, Peach ; and you or some other constable will have to take me up soon, for I am born to be hung ; and that humbug Cornwall has brought me to this state. He has got some bullocks, and sheep, and horses, and there will be something happen to them in less than a fort night, and harvest-time is coming on, and then he will have corn-stacks, and they'll be all burnt !" This was the principal evidence against the prisoner. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, JULY 21. REX V. STEEL. This was an indictment tried this morning before the Lord Chief Baron and a special jury. It arose out of some pro ceedings which for the last three or four years have attracted a considerable degree of attention in this county, but more immediately out of a prosecution on an indictment for perjury, instituted by a Dr. Turnbull, late of. Hull, against four per sons, named Thomas Bent Hodson, Nancy Watson, William Young, and Ann Young, and which it was alleged was com mitted by them on the trial of an action of ejectment at York, to recover some considerable estates said to have been devised under a will to Dr. Turnbull, and which will was defeated by their evidence. The trial for perjury took place at Guild hall, in London, to which place it was removed by Dr. Turnbull, on the ground of the prejudice which existed against him in the county of York. The present defendant Steel was there as a witness, and being called on behalf of the prosecution on the first day of the trial in the even ing, did not answer. The next morning, however, he ap peared, and swore to having had a conversation with Mrs. Young at Campsall, near Doncaster, which led to the con nexion of Hodson, Nancy Watson, and William Young. The defendants immediately set a most active inquiry on foot, and were successful in discovering proof that the conversation which the prisoner Steel swore to never took place. The trial at Guildhall was in January, 1833, and they had but a fortnight's time to prepare, but in the Hilary term following such affidavits were produced before the Court of King's Bench, as induced the Court to grant a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial. This rule was an argu ment made absolute on payment of costs ; but when the new trial came on, Dr. Turnbull, the prosecutor, slunk away, and no evidence being offered for the prosecution, the defendants were all acquitted. Resolved not to allow a matter by which they had been degraded in their native county to rest here, a bill was preferred and found against the present defendant for perjury on the former trial. By some chance another will of the same testator had in the mean time been found by Dr. Turnbull, in which it seems he was also interested. He con trived to make terms with the other legatees under that will, and proposed to do the same in the last ease, but his proposals were rejected with scorn. Hodson and his friends, feeling a consciousness of their perfect innocence, being determined to have all or none, and to establish the integrity of their cha racter beyond doubt in the minds of all those with whom they had formerly lived on terms of honourable friendship, and by whom they were beloved. The prisoner rose and said he did not wish to give trouble ; he was guilty, and he acknowledged it. He was remitted to the custody of the keeper of Hull gaol, from which place he had been brought by a writ of habeas corpus to take his trial, and ordered to appear to-morrow morning to receive sentence. Notliing else of interest occurred during the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday James Robinson, an elderly man, was charged with defrauding the Duke of Bedford, by writing a letter to his Grace, containing a fictitious tale of distress. Ile was recognised as au old offender, and sentenced to be imprisoned for three months and hard labour on the treadmill. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ _ James 11 P1Ifichael,faiea — clerk 111;;;;. Marks', coach makers, of Langham-place, was charged with embezzling various sums of money paid to him on account of his employers. Only one case was proved against the prisoner, that of re ceiving 1/. 6s. He was remanded until Friday, when others cases will be brought forward. MARYLEBONE. Five young men, of genteel appearance, were charged with having broken the peace in the followi ng ludicrous manner : A police constable on duty in the Junction-road, about three o'clock on the same morning was startled by loud and discor dant noises proceeding from Oxford-terrace, and, on going to the spot found that the inhabitants had been aroused from their slumbers by the prisoners, who were braying away in the true donkey fashion, and so exact was the imitation that a multitude of his Majesty's lieges were seen with their heads popped out of window, imagining, no doubt, that all the costermongers' donkeys in the neighbourhood had broken their tethers and congregated on the spot. The constable having satisfied him self that the sounds did not proceed from any four-footed ani mals, but from the bipeds above named, put an end to the dis mal noises by carrying them to the station-house. The prisoners, who attributed their penchant for braying to the potency of the liquor they had been quaffing, were fined one shilling each and discharged. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Mr. W. Woolcombe, a respectable shipbroker in the city, called the attention of Mr. BALLANTINE, the presi ding magistrate, to a case of a peculiarly distressing nature regarding nearly one hundred foreigners, who had lately ar rived in this country, and who were then in a starving con dition Mr. Woolcombe was passing over Milwall, on the banks of the Thames at Poplar, when he was informed that a great number of Saxons had just been landed from a Prussian ship, which arrived a few days ago from Bremen, and that a majo rity of them were labouring under illness, and were entirely destitute of every thing. He saw many of them on Millwall, and their condition was most deplorable. There were several children among them, and he was informed that a contagious fever had broken out on board the ship, and that one person had died, and others were in a dying state. He distributed a few shillings among the most necessitous, and came away with the determination of calling the attention of the proper autho rities to the circumstances. Mr. BALLANTINE directed Mr. Evans, the principal surveyor of Thames Police, to proceed to Millwall, and as there was 19s. in the office poor-box, he could distribute that sum among the strangers. Mr. Evans instantly proceeded to the ship, and afterwards to Millwall, and at a late hour returned and stated the result of his inquiries to the Magistrate. He said the emigrants were eighty-four in number, and belonged to Hesse Cassel, in Saxony, which place they left a short time ago with the in tention of emigrating to America. On reaching Bremen they were unsuccessful in meeting a ship to convey them to the United States ; but after remaining there a few days they fell in with the Captain of a Prussian ship on the point of sailing, with whom they entered into a nego tiation to convey them to England at the rate of 1/. for each adult, and eighteen shillings for the children, with an under standing at the same time that he would, on his arrival in the port of London, procure passages for them all to America at the rate of 2/. per head. On the arrival of the ship in the river the Captain took no pains to fulfil the latter part of his agreement, and told them that he knew of no ship in Lon don which would convey them to America for 2/. each. After four or five days had elapsed some of the parties waited upon the Saxon Consul, and after represent ing to him their very distressed condition, requested him to provide passages for them to America. The Consul, however, refused to comply with this request, but had no ob jection to send them back to Saxony i s soon as possible. They seemed reluctant to return, as their views were fixed on Ame rica, though all the money they had raised by the disposal of their property for the purpose of emigrating to the United States was' exhausted, and they had no other prospect before them but starvation. The health of the foreigners had been greatly affected by their confinement in a small space between the decks of the vessel, which was not at all adapted for car rying passengers, and contained a cargo of wheat. He found one child dead on board, and two others in a dying state, one of whom could not possibly survive. He had taken the body ashore and directed the beadle of the parish to give informa tion of the circumstances to Mr. Baker, the Coroner, who would order a jury to be summoned. He considered that many stood in need of surgical assistance. Mr. BALLANTINE asked if any of the foreigners had been left on the ship ? M r . Evans had taken them all ashore with the exception of one woman, between whom and the Captain a good under standing seemed to exist, and she expressed her determination to go back with him. A Mr. Schenrer, a ship biscuit-baker, on Millwall, had behaved very kindly to the destitute foreigners, and had not only given them food, but had also appropriated a large warehouse for the reception of as many as he could ac commodate, while a neighbour had given up a loft for the same purpose. Mr. BALLANTINE inquired if the parish officers had inter fered, and given the foreigners any assistance ? Mr. Evans said the parish officers had been with him during the day, and intended to give them some relief if they had not already done so. The poor foreigners were really objects of pity, and they represented that if they went back to Hesse Cassel they should have no means of supporting themselves, and that great distress existed there. In answer to further questions, Mr. Evans said that it appeared to him, from the best information that he had been enabled to collect, that the people had been deluded by the representations of the Captain, who had brought them here under pretence of procuring them that to ehad America p ro m fo i s r e 4 d o t s h . each.em any t T h i h n e g C m a o p r t e a i n t h , a however, s da a e g pna f ed t s o agth E ea ngland at IL a head. BALLANTINE said he would not lose sight of thisl , ery distressing case, and he had no doubt that on a proper repre sentation of the facts being made to his Majesty's Government, somc means would be adopted to send home the foreigners. In th6 . meantirrie cars Must be taken that no contagious fever , was spread abroad. After some directions were given to Mr. Evans, the conversation terminated. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The person who first considered the properties of steam philosophically was Papin, a physician born at Blois, who visited England in 1680, and became curator to the Royal Society. The Digester, which he constructed next year, exemplified the enormous elastic force that steam acquires when heated and confined. As a source of power he pro posed atmospheric pressure, by forming a vacuum either by the inflammation of gunpowder or the condensation of steam. Precluded by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes from returning to France, he accepted, in 1687, an invita tion from the Prince of Hesse to the chair in the Univer sity of Marburg. There he extended his plans, but found no helps to carry them into execution. The superior skill of English artists transferred the palm of invention. New comen, a blacksmith, and Cawley, a glazier, natives of Dartmouth, by their united studies and labours, produced the atmospheric or fire-engine in 1705 ; but, to prevent opposition, they associated in their patent a naval officer, Savery, who had a few years before contrived a very imper fect machine, which acted, however, by alternate expansion and condensation. Accident suggested the injection of cold water within the steam-vessel, instead of external effusion. Beighton simplified the mode of opening and shutting the valves, and improved the whole system of machinery ; and in the course of half a century, the fire-engine was adopted for raising water in all the coal-mines. At this epoch the genius of Watt, guided by sound judgment, and urged by unremitting application, effected, in less than forty years, a complete change in the powers of mechanism. His steady purpose was to reform the principles of the steam-engine, and reduce its composition to mathematical precision. He began with performing the condensation in a vessel distinct from the working cylinder ; and he next excluded atmo spheric pressure, and merely employed the alternate action of expanding and contracting steam. But to pursue his career of invention might demand a separate disquisition.— Enc.yclopcedia Britannica, new edition; Professor Leslie's Dissertation. NEPTUNE A POSTMAN. The ocean has been called the " highway of nations," but, unlike other highways, it sometimes adds to the passive services of a road, the acting duties of the post that travels on it. A pleasing and curious instance of this has just occurred in our own experience. A few days ago we got a letter from Kerry, Ireland, franked by " Charles O'Con nell," It was an envelope, and stated, that the paper en closed had been thrown ashore in a bottle, near Valentia Harbour, in that county, and that it was forwarded to the editor of this paper, that the information it contained might reach the parties interested. The contents of the enclosure was as follow :—" May 21, 1834.—0 n board the Mary Maria, bound for New York. This bottle was thrown overboard by Robert Russell, baker, from 2, Pitt street, Edinburgh, bound for New York. The people on board are all well at the present date." A few words were added, stating, that any party publishing it would be reim bursed by applying as above : and the words, "with a fair wind," are on the back. On showing the letter to Mr. Russell, 2, Pitt -street, he at once recognised the hand of his relation who sailed from Liverpool on the Bth of May, and of whom he had not since heard, till this ocean-wafted billet reached him. No latitude or longitude is given ; but, as the vessel had then been thirteen days at sea, and was proceeding with a fair wind, the probability is that she was then about a thousand miles westward of Valentia harbour, to which the bottle had been conveyed by the well known • branch of the Gulf Stream, which sets east ward from Newfoundland. There are many examples of bottles or other close vessels performing a similar voyage, but their course is generally slow, and after arriving,, they often lie long on the beach unobserved. The letter in this instance reached Edinburgh in the very short space of fifty-four days after it had been dropped in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Had the ancients been aware of facts like this, they would have added to Neptune's dignities that of general postman, or maritime courier. Query—is the Ruler of the Sea not liable in this case to a snit in Ex chequer, for infringing the rules of the post-office, anent the private conveyance of letters ?—Scotsman. ROMANCING. In a village, not quite 100 miles from this town (Car marthen), there resides a gentleman famed for his wonderful talent in romancing. On one evening last week he went into the village inn, seemingly in very low spirits. The in quisitive landlord immediately asked what was - the matter, &c. &e., but the gentleman declined returning him a direct answer, giving him to understand by certain hints and inu endoes that he was engaged in a duel that was to take place on the following day, and that from the known character of his antagonist he was certain of being shot. The thoughts of parting from his wife and children was the cause of his anxiety. He then left the inn, stating that he must go home to try to arrange his affairs as well as he could before the fatal morrow. The landlord, fearing to lose a good neighbour and customer, had two horses im mediately saddled, and sent for the parish constable, whom he took with him on full gallop to the next magistrate, living a few miles off. His w ors hip, w h en h e h ear d th e case, immediately granted his warrant for the apprehension of the Squire, giving the constable strict orders to take great care of his prisoner, and not on any account to allow him to get out of his presence, and to bring him before his worship on the following day. Boniface and the constable returned quite pleased with their success to the village, and immediately sent for the Squire, stating that he was wanted at the inn. He went to them instanter, little dreaming of his fate, and when he was tapped on the shoulder by the constable, and told that he was his prisoner, he was quite astounded, and swore that it was all a hoax ; that he had never quarrelled with any person, but that the landlord had asked him for some news, and that as he had none to give him, he was obliged to invent a little ; but that upon his honour it was all a lie. The constable said that he could not help that, and that as he had received his warrant and instructions from the magistrate, he must obey them ; but at the same time he had no objection to allow the Squire to remain with a few friends in the inn parlour for the night, provided that 4 he was one of the company, which was agreed to. When the Squire appeared on the next day before the magistrate, he protested and swore that the tale about the duel was all a lie, or hoax, on his part. His worship told him that the information against him was given by a re spectable man on oath, consequently that he must give good securities to keep the peace for one year, otherwise he must commit him. The Squire then gave the necessary security, and swore that he would abstain in future from ro- maneing.—Welshman. It is said that the loan proposed by M. Jauge is making progress notwithstanding his arrest. A prospectus of the operations will be published in the name of two bank ing firms, one of London, and the other of Amsterdam.— Constitutionnel. - - PURSE PRIDE.—It is to be lamented that the na tional character of the English is pride, and the meanest of all pride—purse pride. Even a poor Lord is despised, and to increase his fortune a necessitous Peer will condescend to marry into a rich citizen's family. An overweening affection for money—an idolatrous worship of gain, have absolutely confounded the general intellect, and warped the judgment of many, to that excess, that in estimating men or things, they refer always to " What is he worth ?" or, " What will it fetch ?" Were we to point out a person as he passes, and say, "There goes a good man, one who has not a vice," he would scarce be noticed j • but exclaim, " That man is worth 500,000 i," and he will be stared at till out of sight. This sordid habit of thinking was finely hit off by a keen fellow of a neighbouring nation, who carried on business in London and failed. Sitting in a coffee-house one day where a few wealthy citizens were discussing some money concerns, and observing him very attentive, one person turned aside and said to him, " What's your opinion, Sir, of the matter ?" " S'blood, Sir," returned he, " What opinion can a man have in this country who has not a guinea in his pocket ?" This makes goOd what Mr. Burke says, " That a merchant has no faith but in his banker ; his ledger is his Bible ; the exchange is his church • the desk his altar; and his money is his God."J...Trusler's idemoirs.
