SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. By the last accounts received from America, it would appear that the difficulties of the commercial world are not yet over ; indeed, that the height of the commercial crisis is not yet reached. The Senate has decided by a great majority, that the conduct of the Ptesi dent, in withdrawing the Government deposits from the United States Bank, by which this embarrassment was first created, was illegal and unconstitutional, while the House of Re- presentatives have come to a totally different conclusion. The subject has occupied both houses for the last three months, and there is scarcely a town, a district, a county, or a divi sion of the Union, from which a petition or a remonstrance has not been sent to the Govern ment or to the Legislature on one side or the other. In the meantime numerous failures are daily taking place. Great enterprises of na tional improvement, such as canals and rail : - roads, have been interrupted from the difficulty of realizing their funds—manufacturing indust try has been arrested in its career—and com mercial credit in New York and other large towns has been shaken to its basis. The r&- fusal of Gcheral Jackson to recharter the Bank of the Linked States, by replacing his veto on a bill for that purpose, which had re= coxed, after long deliberation, the sanci tion of both Houses of Congress, has ',gained him the favour of some of the private bankers and of the extreme democrats ; but has entailed upon him the odium of the high corn:- mercial, manufacturing, and agricultural in- terests of the nation. The latter, therefore, in the House of Congress, at public meetings, and through the medium of the press, declare their hatred and alarm in no measured terms. The mildest epithets which we find applied to him in some of the New York journals, are " Tyrant, usurper, enemy of his country," and such other names as we usually reserve for Don Miguel or the late Dey of Algiers. There can be no doubt that America has wit nessed no derangement of her financial and commercial system like the present for the last ten years ; that there was no symptom of its approach till last September ; and that, how ever it may end, its immediate cause has been the unnecessary interference of the executive, against the will of the legislature, with regard to the great establishment which for the last eighteen years has given regularity and security to the currency of the union. The private or state banking system of America is bad and insecure. The banks are too numerous, and, having little to lose, are too adventurous in their issues. There is not among all the 300 or 400 banks of the United States a metallic basis on which to rest the tenth part of their paper engagements. The general bank, which has now in its coffers more than half of the specie belonging to them all, was the only check on their operations, the only regulator of their conduct, and the only re medy against their inconveniences and abuses. Since the fate of this establishment is sealed by the sole fat of the President, it has been thought necessary -in some-of the States to come to the assistance of public credit by authorizing State loans. This has been the case in the State of New York, whose local Congress, sit ting in Albany, seems to have little or no sym pathy with the trading and the moneyed interests of New York itself, the great commercial capi tal of the American Union. This legislative body has authorized a loan to the State banks belonging to its own territory of 6,000,000 dol lars, or, in other words, has empowered . these banks, in certain proportions, to issue more notes than they did before, when the extent of their circulation was the cause of their danger. On the other hand, we see, by the " Report of the Union Committee," which was adopted by the signers of the memorial to Con gress at a meeting held at the Merchants' Ex change, the chief merchants and public men in New York see no salvation to the country but in the restoration of the Government deposits to the bank, and the continuation of the exist ing or modified privileges of that great establish ment. This " Report," to which we observe subscribed, among other high names, that of Mr. Gallatin (who has written one of the ablest works on currency which has of late ap peared), would be interesting even in this coun try, were not its views and information partial and limited in their nature, being chiefly con fined to the state of New York. But even the condition of the city banks of that northern capital is sufficient to illustrate the observation which we made about the excessive issues of these local banks. In New York itself there are not less than nineteen banks of issue ! Their notes and liabilities now amount, according to the " Report," to 15,500,000 dollars, and all the cash in their coffers to meet public demands in this season of crisis amounts only to 1,650,000 dollars ! We may perhaps soon return to this subject.—Times. We have room for little more than the most general allusion to the debate which took place last night, on the motion for the second reading of Mr. W. Brougham's General Registry Bill. Indeed, it would seem to be almost a work of supererogation to argue in favour of a bill, the principle of which is to protect property, by guarding against loss or imposture. But, alas ! for those who would speculate upon unanimity in any thing. The General Registry Bill, like every other bill, is liable to some objections—in short, it is not proof against cavil, and this is enough, with a little self-interest out of doors— a little attorneyship in the provinces, and, per haps, a little panic in that house, to resist one of the most useful measures, considered in all its bearings, that ever was submitted to either House of Parliament. Amongst other expe dients of opposition it will be seen that a large importation of petitions from Yorkshire is relied upon., But even if these petitions went against the principle of registration, the practice of the good people of Yorkshire in adopting registries would be a sufficient an swer to themselves, and it is perfectly consistent, with a due respect for their judgment, that we in this part of the world should take their ex ample in preference to their advice. This we say in reference to the principle of registration, which, as we learn from Mr. Brougham, is re cognised in the petitions, but which is, at all events, recognised in the practice of the people of Yorkshire. But the debate of last night arose upon the comparison of two rival plans ; it was, therefore, a question rather of detail than of principle, and, consequently, was more suited to arrangement in the committee than to a general debate upon the second reading. How ever that may be, the decision of the house, which was against Mr. Brougham's measure, can be considered no otherwise than as a most extraordinary proceeding. We must refer to the debate itself for the arguments by which the house was persuaded ; at the same time we are far from thinking that they will appear as cogent to the public as they have done to the house. —Morning Herald. Serious differences are said to have arisen' between the members of the government re specting the abrogation by Don Pedro of the privileges hitherto enjoyed by British merchants trading to Portugal.- It is understood that Lord Palmerston, on.fhe one hand, has upheld Don Pedro in the step he has taken, and con tended against the right of this country to re monstrate upon the procedure. kis understood that Earl Grey, on the other hand, has signi. fled his deep indignation at the behaviour of Don Pedro, and has determined that the ob noxious decree shall be immediately rescinded. The Majority of the Cabinet, if report speaks truly, have sided with the Premier. It will be urged by the usurper, and, for aught we see, with a fair show of equity, that the annulling by England of the preference she formerly gave to Portuguese Wine entitles Portugal to annul the preference she formerly gave to English Woollens. But, whatever may be the justice of the argument, we earnestly hope some means may be adopted to secure a decision favoural?le to British commerce. Our merchants and shipowners, Lord Palmerston may be sure, do not like the alteration which has taken place, and their wishes and opinions ought to be considered by a Secretary of State, although, as the Times says, they may seem beneath the notice of " a fine gentleman." —Morning Post.

It having been asserted that the paragraph (copied from the New Monthly Magazine) stating that Mrs. Salmon, the celebrated singer, had become reduced to penury, was without foundation, it is due to the New Monthly Magazine to state, that in the number for May it observes that the original assertion is perfectly correct, and expresses a wish (in which we cordially join) that the notice of Mrs. Salmon's distress may have the effect of obtaining for her some substan tial relief. BELGRAVE LITERARY and. SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the inves tigation of an alleged charge against four Unionists, named John Surrey, "John Dicker, Thomas Dicker, and Samuel Last, for intimidation, the avenues leading to the office were crowded to excess by mechanics belonging to the Trades' Union. Mr. FLOWER attended on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Balcombe, the builder, of Upper Berkeley street West, Connaught-square, and a Unionist in his employ named Philip Slade, substantiated the facts related in our paper of yesterday, which are unne cessary to repeat, as they must be fresh in the recol lection of our readers. _ _ Slade underwent a severe cross-examination by the magistrates and the defendants' solicitor, when he ad mitted that he had been intimidated by some members of the " lodge" to which he belonged, and added that he could not take upon himself to swear whether or not the defendants were the offenders. Upon which Mr. HOSKINS, on the part of the ma gistrates, remarked, " We are of opinion that no con viction can take place in this case, although we are perfectly satisfied that intimidation has been used, and great mischief in consequenee ensued. It is, however, our duty to decide upon the legal evidence before us, which is not sufficiently strong to procure a conviction ; the defendants are therefore discharged."

Our readers may recollect the unfortunate tithe affray at Teharagh, in the county of Limerick, on Monday, April 28, which was alluded to a few posts since. Notwithstanding the result of that melancholy transaction, we are assured that the tithe-holders hive not paid the Rev. Mr. Locke one shilling since Mr. Vokes, the police magistrate, left the station. We have been informed by undoubted authority, that ear nest solicitations, legal threats, as well as offers of considerable abatement, had been tried by Mr. Locke, ere he resorted to the civil and military power for pro tection—that the poor tithe-holders have not for a series of years been asked to pay any tithe—and that the greater part of the tithe now sought for is due under composition, and by civil bills—the solvent far mers only have been asked to pay. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, May 7. Mr. PEASE _, and brought up from the Commons a Bill to alter - and amend the former Act relating to the Grand Junction Railway Company ; also one for main taining and improving certain roads in the county of Mont gomery ; and another private bill. They were each read a first time. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from Tiverton against (as we understood) the Islington Market Bill. The noble lord observed that the bill was not yet brought before that house, but h e was sure it would be exceedingly inconve nient to persons in the country, and therefore he hoped it would not pass into a law. The Duke of BEAUFORT presented a petition from Monmouth against the New Beer Act. The Duke of RUTLAND presented two petitions from parishes in the county of Derby in favour of maintaining the established church, Lord DENMAN presented three petitions to the same effect from the same county: Lord GOSFORD presented four petitions from parishes in the county of Suffolk, praying that the grievances un der which Dissenters laboured might be removed. The Duke of CUMBERLAND said as it was now so late, and the Lord Chancellor had not arrived (Lord Shaftesbury being on the Woolsack), it would be better to adjourn. To-inorrow being a holyday their lordships would have to adjourn until Friday. Lord PLUNKE I' said that on Friday he. should have to submit to their lordships a bill relative to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and it was necessary that he should trespass on their lordships' indulgence upon a subject which was in a considerable degree personal to himself. He would, however, throw himself on the indulgence of the house, although he might in some degree be thought to pursue rather an irregular course. . Lord ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that he should, on a future day, move for a return of the amount of the expense of the attendance of counsel, witnesses, &c., in the case of the Warwick Borough Bill for this day. The house then adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 7. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past five o'clock. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. It was announced by the messengers from the Lords that their lordships had agreed to the Friars or Folly (Ox ford) Bridge Bill, and other private bills. Mr. C. W. WYNNE presented a petition, signed by 2,500 individuals, both lay and clerical, from Montgomery, entreating the house to resist all changes in the established church. Sir D. K. SANDFORD presented five petitions from Somersetshire against the General Registry Bill, and one from the same place for a better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. CARTWRIGHT presented a petition from North ampton, against a Mr. Holesworth ; one from Morpeth, in favour of the General Registry Bill, and one against the same by Mr. R. Todd, from the inhabitants of Hud dersfield. TRADES' UNIONS. Mr. BAINES presented several petitions from places in Yorkshire, from certain operatives not belonging to the body of unionists, praying for protection from the violence of those joined in that combination. Mr. MILES presented a petition from the landowners of Somerset against the Metropolitan Registry Bill. Mr. RIGBY WASON presented a petition from the Protestant dissenters of a place in Suffolk, against the payment of church rates. The hon. member then moved for a return of the number of houses occupied by public officers connected with that house during the last five years.—Ordered. Lord EBRINGT ON presented a petition from the landowners of Cullompton against the General Registry Bill; from Berwick by Lord Howick ; from the North Riding of Yorkshire by Mr. Duncombe ; and from. Newark by Mr. Hanley. Sir HENRY PARNELL presented a petition from a place in Forfarshire against the corn laws. Sir CHARLES BLUNT presented a petition from Lewes in favour of the General Registry Bill. Mr. PEASE presented a petition from Durham, and one from the county of Leicester, signed by 300 land owners, against the General Registry Bill. Petitions to the same effect were presented by Lord Darlington from Stainblock, in the county of Durham, by Mr. Divett from Ottery, and by Mr. Buller, from Exeter. Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from the dissen ters of Stafford, and from the dissenters of a congregation in the town of Rugby, praying relief. The right hon. gentleman then presented a petition from an individual in the county of Armagh, praying for a remuneration to coroners. Mr. STRUTT presented two petitions in support of the established church, and a petition from Derby against the General Registry Bill. Mr. H. HANDLEY presented petitions from Dudley and other places against the General Registry Bill. Peti tions to the same effect were presented by Mr. Tynte from Yeovil, and by Mr. Ingham from South Shields. Mr. YOUNG presented a petition from the females of London and its vicinity, in favour of the bill introduced by the hon. member for Truro, for regulating the practice of sweeping chimneys. He begged to trespass upon the gallantry of the house, by reading two or three lines of the petition. (Loud cries of " No, no," and laughter. ) The SPEAKER said the hon. member must be aware that the understanding was, that petitions should be pre sented without comment. Petitions against the General Registry Bill were pre sented by Lord Lincoln, from the county of Nottingham ; by Mr. Heathcote, from Tiverton ; by Mr. W. M. Att wood, from Wakefield; by Mr. Wilson Patten, from the county of Lincoln ; by AL W. Tooke, from Boston ; and by an hon. member, from the attorneys and solicitors co' Tewkesbury. GENERAL REGISTRY. After a short conversation, it was agreed that the Ge neral Registry Bill should take precedence of the other orders of the day, and Mr. WM. BROUGHAM, in rising to move the second reading of the bill, said, that notwithstanding the vast number of petitions that were presented against this bill, yet he did not feel altogether so disheartened as to despair that this measure would be destroyed, or that it would not be in his power successfully to propose it to the house. Although he did not agree with those who considered the petitions of the people as little better than waste paper, yet upon a subject like this, where so many interests were excited, opposition might be raised against a measure which was good in itself, because its details were not sufficiently understood. That was the case with the present bill. It was impos sible for any one interested in any way in land to doubt that the principle of registration was good. Honk members might differ as to the mode in which the principle ought to be carried into effect. Some might certainly be of opinion, that they still ought to be brought into London, others that they ought to remain in the various counties, and others again that every man ought to be his own registrar, and that the registra tion ofdeeds ought to be carriedon on that domestic footing that every man shouldputupon the back ofhis own parchments every incumbrance from this to the end of the world. He would not enter into the merits of the plan, but would reserve his observations upon that until a later period of the debate, or another stage of the pro ceeding. With regard to the principle of registra tion, he could hardly suppose that any man who dispas sionately considered the subject couht, hesitate to say that it would be a security and safeguard to property, and tend much to its better transmission. In bringing forward this measure for the third time, he hoped that it would not be considered he had any personal motive. He had persevered in it, and would continue to be its advo cate, because from the best attention he had been able to pay to the subject, he regarded it to be as im portant a measure as could be introduced.. He would not say that those who opposed it werelabourmg under igno ranee, but certainly their eyes had not been sufficiently open intention at the evils as they at present existe d. He had no at present of going into the merits or details, because he conceived that all the petitions which had been presented from Yorkshire, and all the meetings that had taken place in that large county against it, had not been applied against the principle of registration, but against metropolitan re gistration. ( Cheers.) He believed, therefore, that Yorkshire and other places, from which the petitions against it had come to that house, only desired that it should be conti nued in the counties, and that in all probability those coun ties that had it not ought to have it. He begged those gen tlemen who were prejudiced against the measure to look to the situation of trustees. One instance was better than an hour's argument, and he would relate a case that had lately occurred within his own knowledge. Upon the marriage of a gentleman and a lady, a settlement was executed declaring any property the lady might afterwards be entitled to should be conveyed by the trustees of the marriage settlement upon certain trusts. The father of the lady shortly afterwards died, and left her nearly half a million of money, directing her trustees to convey the property to her for her life. (Hear, hear. ) She and her husband fell into embarrassed circumstances. It was necessary, after they had exhausted all the funds, that further assistance should be obtained by apply ing to the wife's trustees. Accordingly she levied a fine, and then, under the provisions of the will, by which the trustees had conveyed that large sum of money to her use, a large sum was received for the benefit of the landlord's creditors. All this took place while the marriage settlement was slumbering in a solicitor's box. A short time since a bill was filed against the trustees, for not having conveyed the land according to the terms of the settlement. They could not have done so— they were not solicitors—they were private gentle men, and knew nothing of the settlement, and it was not improbable they might be called upon to refund the whole amount that had been thus raised and squandered away—almost a frightful amount—and the whole had arisen from the impossibility of their having known of the settle ment. Had the settlement been registered, that money never could have been raised. (Hear.) ,He (Mr. Brougham) was anxious to call the attention of the house to the principles of the bill he was introducing to their con sideration. First, the registry offices were appointed plani no f f e a nt n ht t iw e eo by the Crown, and their salaries were alway; paid from the consolidated fund. Next, the m ultiplicity of deeds to be registered was so very great, there was much , danger of some being overlooked, and of course the m ode .). for regulating the registry should be rendered as simple r as possible regulating hear), or any arrangement would T ./ be a greater curse than it could be any thing else. ' q The mode he had to propose- underwent the test of inquiry ' from several learned persons, most competent to judge on the matter ; among the rest, a gentleman of great celebrity, Mr. Bell, who first objected to it, through fear , of its impracticability ; and likewise it had been submitted 1 to the opinion of the commissioners appointed by parlia ment to examine into all the modes which might be de tised . ttt . facilitate the object of accurate registry, T,h e plan in Yorkshire was to i'egig"te:r. the names or the deeds annually registered, must necessarily contents of each deed ; this plan, hi tile mUltitude o Inducg great confusion, and render it difficult to refer to e ,14 7 deed with exactness.

On the q uestion being put, Mr. HE ATHCOTE said he though t the reined!, worse than the disease. The measure of the hon. o', learned gentleman might be applicable to a proving' like Yorkshire—or it might facilitate trans actioes when a great property had to change hands . but tbej comparatively few would be benefitted , and he aid comparatively hope, therefore, that the house would n ot consent, °. any such object, to injure all the sm aller freeholderst.lue the country. It was said that the opposition to : ci bill was got up by the country attorneys ; but he ot her ask were there no London attorneys on the !n u , side ? (Hear.)
