SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers, who have shared our feelings and sen timents with regard to the gross attacks recently made upon the Lord Chancellor--who, like ourselves, have witnessed with satisfaction the public demonstrations of respect shown towards him by great numbers of all classes, moved by a generous indignation against groundless and unmanly abuse—on reading that por tion of Lord Brougham's speech at Salisbury, which manifests differences of political opinion with Lord Durham, will also share our deep regret at this disa greement. Reformers generally lamented the loss of Lord Durham's services in the Cabinet ; and when his health was restored, the infirmity of which was under stood to be the cause of his retirement, his return to the Cabinet was looked forward to with anxiety. In this view his Lordship may imagine why so much of his speech at the Edinburgh dinner as not only indicated a difference of opinion between him and the Lord Chancellor, but conveyed that difference in peculiarly pointed terms, was read by the Reformers of England with great ap prehension ; and in this view also it is that we frankly avow that we could have wished that the Lord Chan cellor had riot been tempted at Salisbury to follow his example. Lord Durham is of opinion that needless and avoidable delay has been shown in relation to the improvements which the people have a right to expect from a Reform Government in the Reformed Parlia, ment. The Lord Chancellor appears to be impressed with a contrary opinion, and claims for the Government credit for what it has done, the difficulties it has had to encounter, and the danger of exposing the great prin ciple of Reform by too much haste and precipitation. Amongst the best and most enlightened friends of reform will be found numbers who entertain both views ; and we conscientiously believe there are many very honest Reformers, friends of order and good government, who incline towards the somewhat dangerous course that would reproduce evil by too much precipitancy, from a laudable impatience of abuse, and a wish to realize great national improve ments with the least possible delay ; whilst those again who, under a sense of these dangers, are actuated by an extreme anxiety to avoid them by a timid policy, may be occasionally confounded with the class who fatten upon abuses, and hate all improvements, and are not slow to deceive the public by representing the mistakes made by Reformers in attaining reform as substantive objections against reform itself. With such difficulties before them, exposed to such dangers, who but the enemies of reform can avoid deprecating the schism between such men as Lords Brougham and Durham ? Differences of opinion must occasionally arise between public men, of the most distinguished talents, and equally honest in their pursuit of the same great objects ; but policy, sound judgment, the dignity of official station, and, above all, the public welfare, enjoin men of the same party to abstain as much as possible from making a sort of public parade of such differences ; and whenever they exist in a form which makes their developement unavoidable or the discussion useful, it is so be wished that they should never be conveyed in terms calculated to afford a triumph to the common enemy. Our readers will readily give us credit for ap proaching this subject with no slight feeling of reluc tance ; but a sense of duty to the public compels us to advocate a regard to public principle, rather than to in dulge in private sentiments of attachment towards even those we may have been long accustomed to es teem. With reference to the progress of reform which the public will view with greater interest than even the mistakes or jarrings of public men, we hail the decla ration of the Lord Chancellor that the Government are making " the most active exertions to mature some of the greatest and most necessary improvements in se veral large branches of the internal economy and admi nistration of the country." We assume that he here refers to the results of the various Commissions which are now actively engaged in collecting information ; and we are still amongst those who are cordially dis posed to repose confidence in his Majesty's Govern ment, and who expect from them in the next Session measures of reform and amelioration which will satisfy the country. The Government, thus strong in the confidence of the people, will doubtless obtain the support of the Sovereign ; and then, should the House of Peers continue its factious opposi tion to all measures of substantial improvement, and set at defiance the spirit of the age, the people will be prepared for such great measures of further or ganical reform as the exigency may demand. The love of peace and order pervades the population of this great and industrious nation ; but there are occasions when something must be hazarded to avoid impending danger ; and the mode in which the Reform Bill was carried ought to be a lesson to the factious majority of the House of Lords that when the people are deter mined on any great measure, it must be obtained. In the meantime, we ardently hope we shall see a suspen sion of political conflicts between eminent public men, in the main agreed on all great questions of policy. In the next Session, we shall need the combined and cor dial exertions of all classes of Reformers.—Morning Chronicle. It is not true that the Duke of Wellington advised Don Carlos, through the medium of the Princess of Beira or the Bishop of Leon, or in any other manner, to publish an amnesty. It is not true that his Grace has been in Scotland, or is going to Scotland, or to Liverpool, or that he has been in London since the prorogation of Parliament, excepting on his passage through town into Hampshire, and on his return into Kent. On neither occasion did lie quit his house. Nor is it true that the Duke applied to King Leopold to be paid 28,000/., or any other sum for superintend ing the construction of the fortresses for the defence of the Netherlands.—Morning Post. It appears that Lord Chancellor Brougham prose cutes his political canvass throughout the country with an alertness and eagerness not to be exceeded by the Irish agitator himself. Whatever may be his Lord ship's case, his successors will be at no less for a pre cedent, should they desire to add the Chancellor of England to the number of circuit-going Judges, nor does Sir William Smith any longer stand alone in the quantity at least, if not the quality, of his extra-judi cial speech-making. Lord Brougham has been at tending what is termed by courtesy a public meeting at Salisbury ; one account of which (that published by us) was given in a morning paper of Saturday, and another, for which we have not room, we have re ceived from the Salisbury Herald of the same day, which latter Journal supplies its readers* also with a curious estimate of the value of the requisition pre sented to the Mayor for calling the aforesaid assem bly, and of the class of persons who attended the complimentary summons. It may be remarked, in passing, that of eighteen Members of Parliament who arc returned by the county of Wilts and by its several boroughs, one only !—to wit, Mr. Bro die, of New Sarum (the other member for New Sarum, Mr. Bouverie, being absent,)—appeared to do honour to Lord Brougham. We hope it was blunder, and not ill-natured irony, which led this Mr. Brodie to put for ward the consistency of the learned Lord's public con duct among his claims to general approbation. But, whether or no, Lord Brougham, like a cool and well bred Frenchman, took the panegyric in good part, and with edifying and solemn gratitude put the praise of his consistency "in his pocket. In other respects, the speech of the learned Lord, how ever surprising or however lamentable when con sidered by those who had formed their hopes and expectations on the promise of his early career, had no faculty of creating either concern or asto nishment in the minds of his more recent observers. His Lordship began, as he did at Edinburgh, by as cribing the civility shown him to his office of Lord Chancellor, an assumption which had the double merit of proving (if well founded) that the compliment was worth nothing at all, and of plumply contradicting the repeated declaration of Mr. Brodie—viz., that the honour was designed for the individual, and not for the Minister. But all this was matter of tast e . The pith of Lord Brougham's speech is its pitiable sore ness at the rebuke which has been more than once ad- ministered to the Learned Lord by the independent press, and particularly by Lord Durham, for his ma nifest quailing into language little short of the most common-place Toryism. When a whale has been wounded in the northern seas, it often is found after war,ll4 in more southern latitudes, rolling and tumbling, and wri . :Nng with agony, unable to shake from its festering carcase the barbed and inextricable harpoon. So the extraordinary fish harpooned at Edinburgh some weeks ago, has already spouted forth brine and bitterness on the Avon, and will ere Fong, we fear, be caught floundering within the estuary of the Thames. Lord Brougham "can only express his sin cere pity for a few vain and misguided persons, who in some parts of the country would represent every one as the enemy of improvement, who clings to any one part, however useful, of the existing order of things." Who be they ? Not assuredly, any portion of.the respect able and influential Press of London or the provinces —not, assuredly, any man connected with this Journal, or any of those among the contemporaries or readers of the Times, who agree with it in sentiment upon the nature and value of our great national institutions. This Paper, we can aver conscientiously and without boasting, was the first to denounce the schemes of the " Destructives," and to affix to them that name by which they are now generally known, and condemned throughout Great Britain. We have resolutely stood up for the rights, the welfare, and stability of that first and noblest of English and of human institu tions, the establishment by law of a religion believed in by the greater portion of an enlightened commu nity. Against popular clamour we have stood up for the rights of property and the unshackled exer cise of the rights of industry, in utter contempt of those threats and conspiracies which on all sides menaced our own existence as Journalists with de struction,—despising them, indeed, as heartily as the boastful denunciations of a resolve to ruin us wherewith we were visited by the Learned Lord himself. Whom, then, does Lord Brougham mean to stigmatize a s " enem i e s of all our national institu tions ?" But his Lordship proceeds with his pity for another " still less considerable set of persons, who cannot perceive any difference between taking time to prepare and mature great measures of reform, and being reluctant to reform at all,—persons who actually think that because his Majesty's Ministers are resolved never to bring forward any plan that is crude and un digested, therefore they aro putting off the day for preparing those plans." Now, this was very clearly meant for Lord Durham, and in answer to the obser vations of that noble Earl at Edinburgh and Dundee ; but we can protest, as lookers-on at what has been passing, that there never was in the world a more un fair or uncandid mis-statement of any man's opinions, as inferred from his expressions, than the above attempt at a rejoinder by Lord Brougham. Why, Lord Durham's reproof of the Learned Lord's language was because the Lord Chancellor avowed, if there be any sense in words, that the Government " had done too much already." Was it not, therefore, reasonable to presume that they were not about to do anything more, or to prepare for doing it ? We do not recollect Lord Dur ham's having recommended " crude or ill-digested" measures : on the contrary, he would wage war upon recognized abuse, and apply to it the "best-considered" remedies. Upon the whole, there is but one inference to be drawn from these restless wanderings—those waspish effusions of an official personage, who ought to be an example, as most of his predecessors have been, of patience, dignity, and temper. The inference is, that the mind of the party is oppressed by some weight which ought not to be there, by some painful craving after that which cannot be accomplished, or some perhaps more painful consciousness of that which ought not to have existed, but which it is impossible to forget. In either case, we, in the words of the Learned Lord, " can only express pity" for Lord Brougham.— Times. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(SATURDAY). LATEST INTELLIGENCE OF BENTLEY. We understand that a letter was on Saturday received in town from Mr. Notcutt, of Ipswich, dated Friday, 10th of October. The writer states, that Bentley called on a Mr. Learwold, a linen-draper at Ipswich, upon the 23d ultimo. Mr. Learwold imagined that he came into Suffolk to see after some bad debt, and therefore said, " Why, what brought you here ; something wrong, I doubt." Bentley re plied, " Yes, it was a.sad affair," and seemed much dejected. Mr. Learwold, thinking that Bentley alluded to a loss he had sustained in consequence of some person's failure, said, " Well, it is not any body in Ipswich, I think."—Bentley replied, " No, it is not here ; " and added, " I have come down in a hurry, and am without any cash ; will you let me have 101. on account ? " Mr. Learwold said, " Oh, yes, to be sure," and took down his ledger for the purpose of Bentley's giving him credit for the amount. Bentley then said, " I tell you what, it is almost too bad to ask you for money ; but perhaps, you would have no objec tion to discount a bill for me for 201.," adding, " You know the party very well, it is Mr. Elliston of Cambridge." Mr. Learwold said he had no objection to do that, and, after looking at the bill, he gave Bentley a check for the amount. Shortly afterwards Mr. Learwold went to the White Horse Inn to see Bentley. He then appeared much agitated, and asked Mr. Learwold to discount another bill for him, at the same time producing one on Mr. Wall of Yarmouth, for upwards of 1001. ; but this Mr. Learwold declined doing. When Bentley produced the bill upon Mr. Wall, Mr. Learwold observed that he had two other papers in his hand, which appeared to be bills, and also a 51. note, besides the amount of the check. The writer of the letter stated that it was reported that day in Ipswich that Bentley had been taken, but he could not ascertain from what quarter that report originated. On the same day that the above conversation took place Bentley obtained a thirty-shilling bill stamp from the distributor at Ipswich, and at the same time inquired what amount that stamp would carry. EXAMINATION OF THE ACCEPTOR OF BENTLEY ' S ACCOM- }IODATION BILLS. William Austen Grocock, a merchant, residing at Bellina Villa, Kentiih-town, who had been lately declared a bank rupt, was examined before Mr. Commissioner MERivALE, at the Bankruptcy Court. The bankrupt is the person who accepted a great many of Bentley's accommodation bills. The first person who applied to prove on one of Bentley's bills, which was accepted by Grocock the bankrupt, was Mr. Tarrant, silk mercer, of Spitalfields. The bill was dated July, 1834, drawn by Bentley, Dear, and Co. for 1111., and purported to have been accepted by the bankrupt. Mr. Whitelock, the solicitor to the fiat, having directed the Commissioner's attention to the bill, and explained the manner in which that acceptance and others had been ob tained from thi bankrupt by Bentley, proceeded to exa mine the bankrupt. Have you had any connection in trade with Bentley P Yes ; I had goods from him. Have you accepted bills for him ? I have accepted bills for goods. And have you not accepted bills for his accommodation ? —I have. Are you able to state the number of bills that you have accepted for Bentley ?—No, I cannot. Did you keep any account of the date and amounts of those bills which you accepted for Bentley's accommoda tion P—No, I did not. Were those bills filled up when you accepted them ? No. Then, I suppose, they were mere blank paper when you put your name to them ?—They were blank stamps. Does this bill (producing the bill exhibited by Mr. Tar rant) bear your acceptance ?—Yes. What consideration did you receive for it ?—None at all. Are you sure that this bill was accepted by you for Bentley ?--Yes ; I will swear it was. Mr. Tarrant was then sworn, and examined by Mr. Whitelock. Mat consideration did you give for this bill ?—I fur nished goods to Bentley, Dear, and Co. What kind of goods ?—Principally silk goods. Have you the bills of parcels with you 2—No. Mr. Whitelock here observed that he did not entertain the slightest doubt that full consideration had been given by Mr. Tarrant for the bill which he now wished to prove ; but under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and when it was known under what circumstances the bill was made, he felt it his duty to require the fullest explanation of every claim, and must therefore request that the proof should be adjourned until an examination had been made of Mr. Tar rant's books. The COMMISSIONER entirely agreed with Mr. Whitelock that a most searching inquiry should take place into every claim to which the slightest objection should be made. The proof was therefore postponed. A gentleman, who represented Mr. Alitchell, of Leicester, then applied to prove on two bills drawn by Bentley, Dear, and Co. and accepted by th e b an k rupt G rococ k. O ne bill, dated Bth Sept., 1834, was for 300/. ; and the other, dated the 10th September following, was for 4911. 18s. 10d. Mr. Whitelock placed these bills in the bankrupt's hands, and asked him whether he accepted them, and if so, what consideration he received for them ?—The bankrupt said he accepted the bills, but received no consideration for them. Mr. Whitelock inquired what consideration Mr. Mit chell had given for the bills ?—The Gentleman who wished to prove said he believed Mr. Mitchell had advanced 4001. upon the bills. _ . . The COMMISSIONER said that this claim must also be mosts trictly inquired into ; and it was therefore postponed. Mr. Whitelock said he had objected to the claims as he felt that it would he impossible to allow such bills to be proved without inquiry. The COMMISSIONER said that Mr. Whitelock was quite right in the course he had taken. Mr. Bland, of the firm of Harvey, Bland, and Co., of Friday-street, then claimed to prove for a bill for 1291. 65., drawn by Bentley and Co., and accepted by the bankrupt. The bankrupt said he accepted that bill also for Bent ley's accommodation. Mr. Whitelock to Mr. Bland—What consideration did you give for the bill? Mr. Bland—l gave goods. Mr. Whitelock—l must trouble you -to bring your books to explain what you gave for this bill. Mr. Bland— Certainly, I have no objection to show every book I have. The COMMISSIONER said if Mr. Bland had given conside ration for the bill he would be allowed to prove ; but it was very necessary that a strict inquiry should be made, to as certain the manner in which the bills were concocted. Mr. Hitchcock, of 23, Wood-street, next applied to prove upon one of Bentley and Co.'s bills for 1351., accepted by the bankrupt. The bankrupt looked at the bill, and said that he accepted that also for Bentley's accommodation, and received no con sideration for it. Mr. Whitelock informed Mr. Hitchcock that he should be obliged to examine his books, to ascertain what conside ration was given for the bill` Mr. Hitchcock said be had no objection to produce his books, and the claim was postponed. Mr. Saunders, of Mark-lane, who had been employed to arrange the bankrupt's affairs in North America, was also examined. He stated :—ln the early part of this year I was consulted by the bankrupt respecting his affairs abroad. The bankrupt represented to me that he had no satisfac tory accounts from his partners abroad, stating his inability to go abroad himself, and asked me if I would undertake the mission for him. He said that he had no accounts from his partners, and that he was determined to wind up the concern, and to close the partnership at any sacrifice. He requested I would proceed to St. John's, New Bruns wick, with the least possible delay, demand a statement of the whole transaction from the commencement of partner nership, and if I found any breach of the articles of copart nership, or that his other partners were unprepared to pay up the balance due to him (Mr. Grocock) I was then to dissolve the partnership legally, close the books, collect the accounts, wind up the concern, and receive from his two partners a full and complete assignment of everything they had, all of which I accomplished. I found many breaches of contract, which induced me to insist upon the dissolution of partnership. Messrs. Honeyball, of Cheapside, tendered a bill for proof. The bill was drawn by Bentley and Co. upon Gro cock, and accepted by him ; it was dated the 6th of Sep tember last, for 2001. Mr. Whitelock opposed the proof, until Messrs. Honey ball could show that they had given valuable consideration for the bills. The COMMISSIONER directed that this matter should stand over as well as the others, to be investigated at the next meeting, when the parties must be prepared to prove the consideration which they had given for the bills, or their proofs would not be allowed. Total amount of acceptances tendered to be proved :- Messrs. Tarrants Xlll 10 0 Mr. Mitchell 491 8 10 Ditto 3OO 0 0 Messrs. Bland 129 6 0 Messrs. Hitchcock 135 0 0 Messrs. Honeyhall 2OO 0 0 £1,367 4 10 All the above were blank acceptances to accommodate Bentley and Co. Mr. Slater and Mr. Duthoit, of 'Wood -street, were ap pointed assignees ; and the meeting was adjourned to the 14th of November. CORONER'S INQUEST-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. On Saturday an investigation of a rather extraordinary nature took place before Mr. BAKER, Coroner, and a re spectable Jury, empannelled to inquire into the circum stances attending the death of Edward Dennis, a boy aged nine years, the son of a very eccentric gentleman, living at White Cottage, Lamb-lane, Hackney. The inquiry took place at the Dolphin Tavern, Mare-street, Hackney, and ' the house was crowded to excess, owing to a report which had gained extensive circulation, that the deceased had been starved to death by his father. Evans, the beadle of South Hackney, in consequence of the alarming reports in circulation, bad considered it his duty to give information to the Coroner. The child was seen out of doors on Wednesday, and then appeared in a very weak state. On the following night the sister of the deceased informed a neighbour that the child was dead, and as the father was so secluded in his manners, and had no servant in his house, or any one to attend the child, the suspicions of the neighbours were aroused. On the night of the child's death, the father fired a piece of ordnance, which he had planted in the window for the purpose, and it was reported that the body had been buried in the gar den, and a salute fired over it. The father had obstinately refused to allow any of the neighbours to see the corpse, and had threatened to shoot the first person who attempted to enter his premises. The CORONER said the father must be sent for, and a messenger was dispatched to White Cottage, but Mr. Den nis refused to hold any conversation with him, or to open his door. The messenger on his return informed the Jury that the house was fortified with cannon, and that Mr. Dennis, who carried several loaded pistols about him, would, no doubt, make a determined resistance if the Co.. roner and Jury attempted to enter his cottage. The CORONER said that the Jury must see the body, and if Mr. Dennis attempted to obstruct them, he would ren der himsolf amenable to severe penalties. They must by some means effect that object, or no legal inquisition could be taken. Mr. Baker then swore in the beadle to act as his officer, for the purpose of taking Mr. Dennis into cus tody, and gave him a warrant for that purpose. Evans procured the assistance of Mr. Bedford, the i n _ spector of police, and some of his men, who accompanied him, with the Coroner and Jury, to the house in which the deceased lay. It is a cottage situate in a very secluded place, and of antique appearance. It is surrounded by a garden and wall with a castellated tower on the south end, on which were placed several pieces of ordnance and other weapons of offence and defence. Mr. D. was observed march ing- backwards and forwards on the top of this tower with a musket in his hand, and attired en militaire. In a window another cannon was planted, with which we understood he had alarmed the neighbourhood two or three nights, partly by firing shot at his own wall. The Coroner, Jury, and officers having viewed the premises, attempted to engage the occupant in conversation, but he refused to speak to any one, or open his doors. A consultation here took place as to the propriety of making a forcibly entry, the re sult of which was, that the inspector was dispatched to Wor ship -street police office, for advice how to act from the Ma- I gistrates sitting there, while the Coroner and Jury returned to the inquest room. The inquest was then adjourned until the evening. At seven o'clock, the Coroner and Jury re-assembled, and were informed that nothing had been done, and that the officer had not returned from 'Worship-street, and that Mr. Dennis was still determined not to admit any one on his premises. The Coroner and Jury sat for some time in silence, looking at each other, and no one seemed anxious to encounter the danger. of going into the fortified house. At length various plans were suggested for securing Mr. Dennis, without coming in contact with his pistols. Evans, the beadle, soon afterwards entered the room, and informed the Court that a gentleman named Day, had been holding a conference with Mr. Dennis, the result of which was, that he was willing to admit the Coroner alone. The CORONER was rather startled at the proposal, but said he should have no objection if he thought it would answer any good purpose, but it was useless for him to enter the house without the Jury. The CORONER then proceeded towards White Cottage, around which a dense mass of people were assembled, who were in a state of great confusion and excitement, and ap peared filled with indignation at the conduct of Mr. Dennis. The officers having cleared the way, a conference was carried on between the Coroner and the owner of the cot tage, Mr. Baker being outside the gate, and Mr. Dennis within. The CORONER requested admittance, and warned Mr. Dennis of the consequences of resisting his authority. Mr. Dennis defended his conduct on the ground that the inquiry was uncalled for, the child having died a natural death, from consumption. He denied that the Coroner had the least authority to enter his premises. An English man's house was his castle, and must not be intruded upon without proper cause being shown. There was no cause whatever for this attempted intrusion, and in consequence of the crowd his children had been kept in a state of alarm all day, and his eldest daughter, who was more timid than him self, was very ill from the fright. His privity was not to be intruded upon, nor his affairs exposed to a set of persons. He would, however, from feelings of courtesy, allow the Coroner to enter his house alone. The CORONER pointed out to Mr. Dennis that it was quite useless for him to see the body alone. Twelve Jury men must see it, or the inquisition would not be legal. He asked Mr. Dennis where the body was ? Mr. Dennis—lt is in my bed-room. The CORONER inquired what he meant by exposing fire arms and pieces of ordnance on his cottage ? Mr. Dennis replied that he made the display to intimidate people from entering his house. The CORONER—Ba will did you discharge them on the night the child died ? Mr. Dennis —There is such a day as St. Dennis's Day. I, as one of the ancient family of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1834. the Dennises, celebrate that day in a proper manner ; and Thursday was the anniversary of that saint. The CORONER then pressed Mr. Dennis further to admit the Jury, and pointed out the folly of his conduct. Mr. Dennis combatted all the arguments of the Coroner with a good deal of tact, quotinc , several law authorities. The CORONER at length asked' Mr. Dennis if Monday would be a more convenient day for the admission of the Jury ? Mr. Dennis said the body was then in a very de composed state, and it would be worse on Monday. He argued in a very plausible manner the impropriety of inter fering with him in his domestic affairs, and said there was no necessity for the jury entering his cottage. The CORONER—I have no doubt the child has died a natural death, but you have given rise to all the suspicion which exists by your own conduct ; and even at this moment you are increasing the suspicion. Mr. Dennis still persisted in his- refusal to allow any one but the Coroner to enter ; he was well armed, and would guard the corpse of his child with his life, and resist the en trance of the Jury. The CORONER finding it was useless to parley any further with Mr. Dennis, was about to leave the place with the in tention of consultinc , the inspector of Police, who had just returned from Worship -street, and who stated that the ma gistrates declined all interference, when a young man, who said he was a school-fellow of Mr. Dennis's, and had great influence over him, came up, and after a short conversation with his eccentric friend, he obtained the required permis sion for the Coroner and Jury to enter the house, just as the police and parochial authorities were about to make prepa rations to force an eatry at four different points. On entering the house the Coroner and Jury proceeded up stairs to a large room, in one corner of which the de ceased lay on a mattress in a little crib. Its jaws were bound up, and it laid in a bent position, and presented the most dreadful spectacle of emaciation ever witnessed. It was warming with vermin. Mr. Teash, a. medical gentle man, examined the body, but could find no marks of vio lence whatever on it. In the same room were two other beds close to each other, where the father and his other children slept. On a table were a quantity of bullets of various sizes, and a loaded musket stood by the bed side,. and several daggers and pistols were lying about. The apartments presented a great want of domestic care, and although there were several articles of luxurious furniture, they were very dirty, and exhibited a dreadful state of neglect. The Jury having retired to a lower room, the investiga tion was proceeded with ; Mr. Dennis objecting to either himself or his daughter going out of the house, but said he had no objection to her examination being proceeded with there. Angelina Dennis, a very intelligent girl, aged 10 years, having been sworn, stated that her brother (the deceased) had been very poorly for some months past, and had been to West-green for the benefit of his health, but had returned home about three months back. He complained of a pain in his side, and had been wasting away for some time. He had plenty of what he wished for to eat and drink ; he could not, however, eat much lately ; he ate a little bread and butter, but could eat nothing else. He had some broth one day, but could not take it. This was about a week before he died. No one came to see him, and they had no one to help them. She had one brother and one sister alive ; the boy was three and the girl four years of age. No one but herself attended to them. She made the beds sometimes, and sometimes her father helped her. Her father was always kind to her, and they all had enough to eat and drink ;. bnt she did not go to school, or learn to read and write. (The father here informed the Jury that the girl had very weak eyes, and had undergone an operation for them at the Opthalmic Institution.) The girl said that was so ; and in answer to further ques tions, said she could read a little. She was not present when her brother died, having gone to get him calve-feet jelly, by her father's desire. No medical gentleman at tended her brother. (The father remarked that Dr. Price, of St. Mary-axe, had been consulted some months ago, and it was by his advice the child had been sent to nurse at West-green.) The Jury questioned the girl at great length as to whe ther she and her sister and brother bad sufficient food, and were treated kindly by the father. Her answers generally were satisfactory. She said her father never beat her, but when she was naughty he was angry with her. They some times had meat and sometimes sausages for dinner. No servant ever attended to them. The CORONER asked Mr. Dennis how he meant to dis pose of the body of the deceased ? In answer to which be carelessly observed that he should bury it in a plain manner. The CORONER then observed it was time the child was put in a coffin, as it was going rapidly into a state of de composition. Mr. Dennis--Then I prefer keeping the body. I know it is not usual, but I should like t o have it soldered down in a leaden coffin, and placed by my bedside. The Churchwarden of the parish, who was present, asked Mr. Dennis if he would allow the children to be taken to the workhouse, promising that the greatest care should be taken of them, and pointed out, in very forcible language, the destitute condition of the children without female as sistance. Mr. Dennis, with great apparent indignation—l will never allow a Dennis to enter a workhouse. Mr. Day, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood, in quired of Mr. Dennis if he had not written letters to two young ladies for the purpose of engaging their affections ? One of those ladies was only 14 years of age and the other but 15. Surely if he thought of engaging in matrimony he had some money by him. Mr. Dennis—l was not aware the ladies were so young. I am a widower, and have certainly written letters to them and have great thoughts of matrimony. I have some money certainly, or I could not keep my family. Several gentlemen of the Jury then endeavoured to im press on his mind the necessity of having a female to look after the children and keep them clean. A Juror asked Mr. Dennis why he put the children out on the parapet of the tower ; to which he said that it was perfectly safe, but he wished to habituate them to look from great heights, that their eyes should not be dazzled. The beadle here informed the Coroner that there was a brace of pistols and a musket, loaded with powder and ball, on the floor of the room. The CORONER asked Mr. Dennis why he kept such deadly weapons about the house ? It was highly dangerous to place fire-arms within the reach of children.—Mr. Dennis said he kept them for the safety of his house and person, and there was no danger of his children touching them. The CORONER-137A you carry them about in your hand as you walk through the streets ; what do you say to that?—Mr. Dennis—As a gentleman of England I have a right to carry arms. The CORONER.—Knights and 'Squires may carry armo rial bearings ; but it is not allowed to carry arms. While this conversation was going on the arms were re moved, in compliance with an order from the Coroner. When they were all taken away the Coroner informed Mr. Dennis that his fire-arms, with a cutlass, had been removed into the custody of the police, who would take care of them and restore them at a proper time. Mr. Dennis, on hearing this, expressed great indignation, and reproached the Coroner and the Jury for what he termed their dishonourable proceedings, in being accesso ries to a robbery in taking away his fire-arms. The CORONER entreated hiin to be composed, and pro mised him they should be restored. Mr. Dennis.—l want them to defend my house and my family. I want no other protection whatever. If I had known you intended to take my arms I would have had them in my hand, and defended myself with them. The Jury then returned to the Dolphin. Tavern, where the arms, two muskets, and a brace of pistols, were exa mined, and found to be loaded with ball and primed, ready for use. Mr. Bedford, the inspector, was not sure that he had acted legally in seizine , the arms ; but he had acted in ac cordance with the wishes of the Coroner and Jury. The CORONER thought that they had acted in a very judicious manner. It was clear that Mr. Dennis was not in his right mind, and the safety of his children, as well as the public safety, was best ensured by placing such weapons, loaded for an obvious purpose, in safe custody. He should, however, advise the inspector to take the arms on Monday morning to the Magistrates of the district. It would also be right for the parish officers to attend before the Magis trates with the Inspector, as the interest and safety of the children required immediate interference. The Jury appeared to be unanimous in their opinion that Mr. Dennis was insane, and the churchwardens and overseers who were present, expressed their determination to do everything in their power to secure proper attention to the children. The CORONER said the children appeared to require im mediate assistance, and he was afraid they were very dirty and much neglected. A juryman saw vermin on the dead body. Mr. Teash, the surgeon, said that the child had died of consumption, but. a medical gen tl eman ought certa i n l y to have been called in to prescribe to the deceased. After a long discussion among the Jury, as to the pro priety of passing a v o t e o f censure on the father of the c hild, which was over-ruled by the CORONER, who said the case had better be left in the hands of the parochial autho rities, a verdict of " Natural death" was returned. It was determined that the parish officers should wait upon the Magistrates, and state to them the whole case, and act as they might advise. GOOD ADVICE.—B e reserved, says William Penn, but not sour ; grave, but not formal ; bold, but not rash ; humble, but not servile ; patient, but not insensible ; constant, but not obstinate ; cheerful, but not light ; rather be sweet temp ered than f am ili ar ; f am ili ar ra ther than inti mate ; and int imate with very few, and upon good grounds. .~. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The churchwardens of the parish of All Hallows Stain ing, a small parish, the principal housekeepers of which are mercantile men of the first respectability, were summoned to the justice-room upon the representation of a chimney sweep named Spicer that the parochial authorities had re fused to assist him in his exertions to support a wife and five children. The complainant had seven children, and since the birth of his third child he had been obliged to seek aid from the parish, which aid the new Poor Law Bill, which was most cruelly acted upon by the parish-officers, had prohibited. He had, without any question of his claim, been paid ss. a week by the parish until the bill began to operate, and now he was denied altogether. Alderman KELLY, who sat for the Lord Mayor, asked the complainant why he was not able to do without parish relief ? The complainant said that his trade had fallen to pieces in consequence of the new Sweepers' Act. His chance business had been destroyed by a clause in that act prohibiting those in the trade from crying in the streets to let people know what they were, and the consequence was the great sweepers monopolised the work. The Churchwardens said the parish had refused to assist Spicer on the ground that he was able-bodied and capable of supporting his family and himself. The parish officers found upon examination that the funds had in a great many instances been most grossly misapplied, and that the rates had been doubled, although the population was stationary. Those who were really in, necessity never had and never should have occasion to apply a second time for aid , but it was a bounty to idleness to give out-door relief to persons like the complainant, whose circumstances it was well known were not such as might justify an appeal of the kind. It had likewise been ascertained that another family had been also undeservedly assisted by the parish, and he had, upon paying that family their last week's allowance intimated that no further aid should be granted, a piece of information which, so far from being received with surprise and resent ment, seemed to have been expected. In fact, that family were only astonished that the parochial relief had been so long granted. The present complainant, however, upon beingtold that in future he must depend upon his own exertions seemed resolved to do everything to accomplish his object of remaining for ever a pensioner, and his wife, who always applied for the allowance as a claim, said to him, the churchwarden, upon being refused the money. " I hope the devil will visit you in hell and give you another poke for this."—(Laughter.) Alderman KELLY—Are you sure that they do not re quire parish aid ? Five children is a large family, and be says his trade is ruined by the Climbing Sweepers' Act. The Churchwarden—They do not want for any thing, and if they should at any time be in such a condition as to require our assistance, there is no probability of its being withheld. When this woman calls she does not ask for relief, but she demands her money. I state this to show the feeling which the long privilege of receiving parochial bounty generates. Alderman KELLY—I must dismiss the case. The churchwarden says you are able to support your family well, and I have no power under the Act of Parliament. The complainant (to the Churchwarden)—You are a regular villain, and have no bowels for the poor. Mrs. Spicer—lt is quite impossible that we can put bread into the mouths of our five children without the allowance, and I shall take every one of. them to your house, for I can't let them perish. The complainant and his wife then retired. A man of respectable appearance, named Maurice Con nor, applied to be passed to Ireland under the following circumstances :—He was, he said, a surveyor, and had been employed in a country part of Irel an d t o take an inventory of property which had been ordered to be sold to pay tithes, at the time of the violent resistance to the payment of that obnoxious impost. The offence he thus committed exasperated the people against him so desperately that he was obliged to fly to this country with his wife and four children, for he was convinced that if certain parties had laid hands upon -him and his family, nothing could have saved their lives. The situation he held was a lucrative one, and now that the feeling towards him was softened down, he could easily earn in Dublin a subsistence for him self and family ; he at the same time assured Alderman Kelly that nothing but the most poignant distress could have led him to .make this application. Alderman KELLY immediately wrote to the parish offi cers of Aldgate to let the unfortunate gentleman have a pass to his country. BOW-STREET. A fellow, who gave his name John Jones, was charged with stealing two pair of ear-rings from the shop of a Mr. Behrens, a jeweller, in Holborn.--Committed. Information was received at this office in the course of the day of an extensive robbery committed in the house of Messrs. Clarke and Metcalf, solicitors, residing in Lincoln's Inn-fields, on the previous night, when three 101. notes, twenty sovereigns, and a check for 6391., drawn on Esdaile and Co., were carried off. The housekeeper retired to rest at about ten o'clock on the night before, leaving every thing safe, and having fastened the doors and windows. On her coming down stairs, however, on Saturday morning she found that one of the drawers in Mr. Clarke's desk, in which was the money above specified, had been forced open and the money abstracted, while the drawers on each side were left untouched. On making further examination she found everything in precisely the same state as she had left it over night, not a bolt having been removed. Immediately on its discovery information of the robbery was forwarded to Gardner, the officer of this establishment, who is at a loss to account for the strange occurrence. Payment of the check was immediately stopped at Messrs. Esdaile's, but no clue has as yet been obtained to the thieves, who must evi dently have been well acquainted with the situation of the stolen property. MAR YLEB ONE. FINAL EXAMINATION OFARIDSIIIPMAN FOR ROBBING SIR C. FORBES AND OTHERS.—Charles Adam Corbyn was brought up for re-examination on several charges of rob bery. The first charge entered into was that of Sir C. Forbes, who was present, together with Captain Sheppard of the East-India Company, Charles Laing, Esq., and other gentlemen. Sir C. Forbes, of No. 9, Fitzroy-square. having stated the circumstances of the robbery, as already published, pro duced two letters which he had received from the prisoner previous to his apprehension, and one since his committal to Clerkenwell prison. The first bore no date, and ran as fol lows : " Sir—On the receipt of this I shall be on my road to Ports mouth; and intend to embark to-morrow, and therefore send you thq enclosed, in case they should be of use to you. " I remain, &c. (Signed by the Prisoner.)" Sir Charles continued —Several pawnbroker's duplicates of the stolen property were enclosed in the letter addressed to him, which he received on the 4th of October, and on th• 7th of October he received a second letter from the pri soner, which, however, related in great measure to his family, and for their sake he (Sir C.) was not anxious to read it. In answer to the Magistrate's question, Sir Charles stated that the letter contained admissions of guilt. Those por tions he would read : " Much Injured Sir Charles,—Scarcely do I know how to begin this letter to my much injured benefactor; but I write not to implore pardon for myself, but for the sake of my fa mily. It is my intention to leave this country and enter into the service of the Spanish King, and die by the sword of the enemy, for I care not for myself. Oh my benefactor, how innocent I was when I first entered your house, and little did I think how d—d a villain I should prove myself; but I leave a sister"— Here Sir Charles appeared greatly moved, and Mr. flaw• LiNsoN said it was unnecessary for him to read any more of the letter. The Prisoner, during its recital, hung down his head and wept bitterly. Edward Dry, a shopman to James John Kemble, pawn broker, of Knightsbridge, stated that on Monday morning, the 29th of September, the prisoner at the bar tendered him a gold chronometer, and requested the loan of 121. Wit ness offered him 71., and ultimately 8/., which he accepted, and gave his name and address " General Smyth, No. 6, Cotton -street, Poplar." Prisoner said the watch had been the property of his father, who was dead, and who had been in the navy fifty-two years James Palmer, from Mr. Knockley, pawnbroker, No. 8, Portman -street, Oxford-street, stated that the prisoner came to their shop on Monday, the 29th of September, and, drawing a musical repeater from his fob, he requested 10/. to be advanced on it. Witness refused to advance more than 4/., and the prisoner then said " It's of no conse quence ; I have got a gold box which is worth considerably more, but I shall not take less than 6/. on it, as I want to make up 101." Witness objected to it on account of its bearing the Royal Arms, when the prisoner asserted that his father had been a Captain in the Navy for fifty-two years, and that it was presented to him by George the Fourth when Prince of Wales. This, with the elegant appearance of the prisoner's dress and demeanour, induced him to receive the pledge, and the money was advanced. Richard Jennings Ford, shopman to Mr. Jacob Russell, of No. 1, Holborn-bars, produced a gold repeater pledged by the prisoner on the 29th of September, for 121. The prisoner described himself as Lieutenant Forbes, the son of the Rev. G. Forbes. Sir C. Forbes identified all the articles as his property. C. Laing, Esq., of No. 30, Budge-row, Cannon -street, came home from Calcutta in a ship, on board of which the prisoner was a midshipman. Becoming acquainted with him, witness invited him to his house. After prisoner had taken his leave on the 20th of September, Miss Eliza Laing, witness's sister, missed a trunk containing a box of valuable jewels. The trunk and articles produced were the same. Mr. Laing identified the following articles, discoveredin possession of the different p gold neck chain, locket, and seal, for 35; September, at the shop of Mr. Goodburn Islington ; also a gold seal, for 125., in the Rellis, 55, High-street, Poplar ;.a pearl lot in gold, for 1/. 45., at Mr. Jones's, 185, H born ; a broach, for 1/. Is., at Mr. How': Bloomsbury ; a pair of ear-rings, ring, ani three seals and a locket, for 10s. ;..two stu , for ss. ; and a pearl box, mounted in go/ of Messrs. Smith, 2, Pitfield-street, Old-st, of September ; three sapphire rings, pawn , two other rings, for 10s., from Mr. Harris, court-road ; and a foreign gold cilia, Mr. Crouch' s , 33, G ra f ton -street, Fitzroy-s( and three g o ld c h a i ns, f or 91., at Mr. Ha , Holborn. pledged Mr. Rose, surgeon, of No. 11, Great Si the prisoner at a friend's on Friday week him to his house on Tuesday last. After leave witness missed four silver dessert foi spoons, and two teaspoons, which were aft tamed to have been pledged at Mr. Gray's, and Mr. Bricknell's, in Tottenham Cou same evening, in the name of " Wm. Deni lege," which name the prisoner had adopt picion on a friend who was likewise dining Rose) on Tuesday. A fourth charge, for stealing a valuable shop of Air. O'Neil, 68, Newman -street, was proved against the prisener, and he was comr gate on the fou r se p ara t e c h arges. $ 1) RIGHT OF A REPO RTER TO ATTEND A po FICE.—The reporter who was excluded from this ° rese ov Thursday last by M r .
