SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Irish papers teem with discussions on the po licy of the recent legal appointments in that country. The selection of Mr. O'Loughlin—an eminent bar rister, a Liberal, and a Catholic—for the office of So licitor-General, appears to be unexceptionable. But the English public should know that the legal promo tions in Ireland are of great political importance. In England many of the legal offices of official station confer only honorary rank or emolument. In Ireland, however, some members of the bar are a constituent part of the Executive Government. There an Attor ney-General (who in England is a simple subaltern), is personally a Member of the Dublin Cabinet—if not officially, at least substantially, a Privy Coun cillor. The Solicitor-General, also, if not seated at the Council-board, is not less a part of the Execu tive ; and similar power is more or less shared by the Serjeants and King's Counsel. In fact, the avenues leading to the Throne, as well as the steps of the Throne itself, in the second-hand Royalty of Ire land, are occupied by the Irish bar. Under these cir cumstances, it is not surprising that legal appointments in that party-stricken country should excite an interest and discussion commensurate with their public import ance. The recent arrangements must be viewed as a continuance of the office of Attorney-General to Mr. Blackburne, a gentleman who had been all his life a Tory, and, what is worse, an Irish Tory, who had been chosen originally by the Tories to fill that office, and who had been adopted by the Whigs, notwithstand ing his hostility to liberal principles. We are almost at a loss to account for these occasional infatuations of a party which has been repeatedly undone by alliances with their opponents. The Tory Administrations ma naged matters much better. It is true that they pur chased Mr. Sergeant Copley—Mr. Warren—and that they got over Sir James Scarlett ; but then the Tories bargained that the Swiss lawyers, thus enlisted in foreign service, should change their politics with their party, and adapt their votes to their new avocations. The original appointment of Mr. Black burne, by the Marquis of Anglesea, was said to be a " tub to the whale," a compromise with the Orange faction. We have, however, heard another rumour ; namely, that the selection of that barrister was to secure verdicts from the Corporate Juries of Dub lin. It was said to be suspected that the party coloured Jurymen of Ireland could not be ma naged without the seduction of an Orange At torney-General. This may be the mere spiteful con jecture of an opposite faction ; but, be this as it may, the fact stares us in the face that Mr. Blackburne, who used formerly to emerge from the murk and gloom of his professional habits and figure at public meetings against Emancipation—who has copiously signed, we are told, Anti-Catholic Petitions to Par liament—who was the recognized leader of his asso ciates against popular movement—the chosen of the Tories for their Attorney-General, was the adopted Tory Attorney-General of the Whigs. What con geniality of disposition led to this unaccountable connection, we are at a loss to imagine. 'We admit that political opinions ought not occasionally to prevent promotion of eminent legal men to judicial office ; but it is impossible to justify the selection of opponents or renegades to political office. What, for instance, would be the indignation of the Liberals of England, if Sir E. Sugden—an acute and erudite advocate—were appointed English Solicitor-General in the present vacancy by the cabinet of Lord Melbourne? What has given credit and confidence to the present Ministry, but the consistent nomination of recent Mem bers of the Cabinet ? We may well imagine, there fore, the real cause of offence in Ireland, without going the length of sanctioning all the dictations of Mr. O'Connell ; and we much suspect that the original ap pointment of Mr. Blackburne has created subsequent embarrassments, which have led to further deviations from a more true and popular policy in Ireland. The evils of such suicidal measures are not confined to the immediate consequences of Tory appointments. How many philippics during the last Session of Parliament were vented against the Government for its association with an Attorney-General who had packed the offices in his gift with Tory partisans—who might have an interest beyond the mere scrapings of office in the errors and difficulties of his superiors, notwithstanding he was a member of their Govern ment—who was inconsistently an adviser of their measures, a director of their prosecutions, a counsellor of their mischances I An Irish Attorney-General is not a mere instrument in the hands of the Govern ment. Do we wonder, therefore, that a majority of the Irish nation object to the promotion of Tories by Whigs, and anxiously sought the translation of Mr. Blackburne from his office as Attorney-General to the Bench ? The promotion of a Roman Catholic will not atone for this gross mistake, nor palliate the con tinuance of a Tory in the office of Attorney-General. We make great allowances for the difficulties of the Irish Government, and fully admit the superiority of the administration of Irish affairs by Lord Wellesley and Mr. Littleton ; but common sense will never jus tify the course we have here reprehended, nor can any casuistry reconcile it to the Irish people.—Morning Chronicle. Lord Londonderry, in a letter addressed to the Editor of an Evening Paper, states that he has " given directions to his agents in Ireland to take upon them selves, under the Composition Act, the discharge of all tithes due from his tenantry ;" and in a subsequent part of the letter adds, that " if the landlords of the sister kingdom would, one and all, agree to adopt what may appear to be a momentary sacrifice, but which would, in fact (under well-regulated properties), not become so, there would at once be an entire end of the tithe question, and the owners of property in Ire land would have the proud satisfaction of seeing peace, good order, and content, restored to their .tenantry." In this mode of settling the tithe question ewe more than agree with Lord Londonderry, who might have gone on to state that the commuting of tithes, both in England and Ireland, into a rent-charge upon estates, would be one of the greatest boons which the landed interests in both countries could receive ; and to this consummation, we trust, the matter will speedily be brought, under the authority of Par liament. This commencement of the plan by Lord Londonderry, and other large non-resident, as well as westident landed proprietors, reflects much credit upon them, believing, as we do, that it has originated in a m od' higher feeling than that of self-interest. But this, we need scarcely add, can only be brought about by the L ea :slature ; for as to the Noble Lord's hypo thesis, ~ if t h e landlords of the sister kingdom would one and all agree, it assumes a concurrence which the most visionary theorisl` scarcel ever attempted to , dream of ; and though it be tru"e t h at the great bulk of landed property is still in the hOds of Protestant owners, the Agitator has in his train qu:.fe a sufficient number of dissentients of another class, to v;.i'on any thing which goes to fix the stability of the ProteZ t ant Church will never be a matter of voluntary concession —no, not if personally advantageous to themselves. At the same time, nothing is more likely to bring about its permanent and universal adoption, and to justify its sanction by the Legislature, than that its voluntary adoption should be as general and extensive as possible. —Morning Herald. Some of our contemporaries give a report of pro ceedings adopted lately by the Primate of Ireland and his Clergy, which to us at least, as friends of the Pro testant Church, are far from being matter of exultation. These unfortunate, because wilfully blinded gentle men, seem to act upon a knowledge of their own real situation and prospects, about as correct as a Chictaw Indian might obtain from the wife of an American backsettler, touching the state of the Brahmins of Bengal. In fact, the Irish clergy, as a body judging them by the sort of weapons they now have recourse to —betray an absolute and profound forgetfulness of every thing which has been passing round them for the last three years. They have " resolved upon raising a fund for the purpose of enabling the clergy to recover the income of their parishes ! due in No vember, 1834, in case of resistance on the part of the payers of tithe composition ;" and five per cent. upon the net income of their respective parishes (that is to ,---the..liet nominal income, for real income there is ROA Itatr%On the amount of subscription agreed wen. 'Thei oth4, resolutions of the rev. body are 4 0• , , erely au iilip.rilii that above recited, of which the .V *, 'e .,2tk --, `w TITE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER. 15 1 1834. true meaning and substance cannot be mistaken, ex pressive as it is of a determination on behalf of the clergy to eVorce by law the recovery of that income which they have lost for no other reason but that the law was already proved to be powerless. But if in effectual to replace the clergy where they'have been, and to restore a tithe condemned alike by sovereign and people, the legal process which is threatened by the primate and his supporters (perhaps we might more properly call them his Grace's dependents) will amply suffice to convulse society, and if persisted in, to plunge Ireland into a civil war, terminable only by the destruction of one (we shall not say which) of the parties engaged in it, or by such a desolation of the whole island as would render it an unfit asylum for any inhabitants but wild beasts. We should be loth to charge members of the church with anything so hor rible as a calculation of chances founded upon the probable occurrences or results of a religious conflict with reference to their own worldly interests. We should almost shudder to suspect the clergy of com puting how much it might be for their temporal benefit to provoke a war in Ireland for the sake of forcing the Protestant body of both countries to take their part against the Irish Catholics. Even were England to interpose for the protection of Protestant life and pro perty in Ireland, the clergy may assure themselves that England will never make war upon the Irish Catholics for tithe to the established clergy. An at tempt to enforce tithe by law, therefore, although it may produce an armed interference for the general pre servation of peace and property by Great Britain, will not under any circumstances be applied by her to per petuate the existence of an institution liable to be administered in a manner so inconvenient, so vexatious, oppressive, and exasperating as the tithe system. Besides their resolutions above referred to, the Armagh clergy have agreed upon asking each other sundry questions with regard to the extent of their several parishes, the number of their (non) payers of tithe, &c., leading, in fact, to little or nothing more than a knowledge of the prodigious magnitude of their common misfortune, and of its irretrievable nature. We fear that all which is knowable upon the subject has long since been ascertained, and that stir how they will with whatever rapidity or in whatever direction, it is but the movement of a poor squirrel in a cage—escape by such means is wholly out of the question. Irish tithe law in the hands of the Protestant clergy would now be just as formidable, as a Papal bull of excom munication has been, any time these fifty years, against heretic princes ; either is held to be an obsolete and pointless joke. Were we deemed worthy of admission to the councils of the clergy, our care would be most earnestly to dissuade them from lifting any legal or other temporal arm in defence of their arrears of tithe revenue. If they submit to the force of circumstances, there is a strong sympathy in favour of their sufferings, which cannot fail to work eventually, and promptly, for their relief. Instead of resolutions to go to war with the Irish landholders, they would do more wisely by peti tioning the Tory leaders in the House of Lords to revise their fatal policy of last session, and to vote at once, nemine dissentiente, the bill and the whole bill recommended by Lord Melbourne, after having passed the House of Commons. They might act prudently by entreating the heads of the liberal interest in the House of Commons to refrain from visiting upon the helpless church the sins of her sham protectors, and to pass once more the Tithe Commutation Bill of last August, without levying any fine or other penalty upon the clergy in revenge for the arrogant and reckless de cision occasioned by the infatuated Conservatives at the end of the last session. The church will be utterly extinguished if she arms, whereas by meekness and ac quiescence she may disarm her enemies, and rivet the devotion of her friends. We do yet trust that the Beresford spirit of Armagh may expend itself on or near the spot which inspired it, and not blast the whole ecclesiastical surface of Ireland with its poison. —Times. THE PASSIONS. There is perhaps no secretion that is more imme diately influenced by the passions than that of saliva. The sight of a delicious repast to a hungry man is not more effectual in exciting the salivary secretion, than is the operation of fear and anxiety in repressing and suspending it. Is it then unreasonable to believe, that a person under the influence of conscious guilt, will unable, from the dryness of his mouth, to surrender the rice in that soft state, which an innocent individual, with an undimished supply of saliva, will so easily ac complish ? To which the answer is obvious. I might here indulge in some remarks on the influence of mind on matter, of the passions on the nervous system, and the different secretions of the body ;—thus grief, fear, and anxiety, not only repress the secretion of saliva, but also that of the gastric juice, and therefore impede digestion. Bad news after a full meal will probably produce nausea and vomiting, and, before a meal, it will instantly take away the appetite. Thus that mas ter of the human heart, our immortal poet, makes Henry VIII. say to Cardinal Wolsey, when he handed to him those papers through which the Cardinal was deprived of all his wealth and honours, and hurled from the pinnacle of ambition down to the ground— " Read o'er this, and after, this ; and then to break fast with what appetite you may." These passions increase the secretion of tears and of urine, and sometimes relax the sphincters ; and though called the depressing passions, yet they often, like joy, produce palpitation of the heart, and increase the arterial action. I remember Dr. Gregory relating an anecdote of an officer, who was much disliked on account of the severity of his discipline. One day when he was exercising his men, a ball was fired at him, happily without effect ; of course this led to an imme diate scrutiny ; the muskets were examined, and the cartridge boxes searched, but nothing was discovered which could implicate one man more than another. At length the search being fruitless, a corporal offered to find out the delinquent. The men were ordered to resume their ranks, and each one to hold out his hand. Our corporal, with the sagacity of a philosopher, went from man to man, and from rank to rank, gravely feel ing the pulse of each one. At last, sternly addressing one of them, he said, " You are the man !" With hesitating speech the soldier denied the accusation, but afterwards, on the promise, confessed his guilt. Vio lent anger acts on the liver, and with some produces jaundice. Excessive joy excites the whole system, produces a species of mental intoxication, causing jumping, dancing, singing, laughing and crying, in coherent speech, with confusion of ideas, and some times ends in confirmed insanity.—Dr. Graham's Lec tures, in the London Medical and Surgical Journal. BRISTOL COAL TRADE.—Nothing is more agree able to us than to report to our readers any improvement in the business of the port of Bristol. This new source of industry and profit, the coal trade, increases rapidly, and both mer chants and housekeepers now take the Bristol Coal. In the past month there was an excess of business upon the Coalpit Heath Railroad, over the preceding month, of more than 400 tons.—Bristol Mercury.

A MONSTER.—On Wedriegflay, a journeyman chimney-sweep was placed at the bar of the Police Court, accused of forcing a little boy up a vent in Grwme,street, Gallowgate, on the preceding day, and from thence into an iron pipe, which ran along a lobby, at right angles, with the chimney. It appeared from the evidence of a gentleman who took considerable interest in the matter, that the pipe—in which the little fellow, without any covering, stuck, and where he was wedged for about three hours, so firmly that after the wall which covered the aperture had been broken down, it took two individuals to pull him out--was only about 8i inches in diameter at the mouth, and four and a half at the upper extre mity ; and it was proved that the monster of a journeyman threatened to put fire under him and roast him alive, if he did not force himself through, after having struck the boy with a brush previous to his ascension. On his extrication, as might have been expected, the boy appeared to be greatly exhausted ; and it was only after the administration of some cordials that he was enabled to speak. The case began to assume such an aspect, that the Court determined to remit it for farther inves tigation alid prosecution to the Chamber —Bailie Lumsdcn remarking, that it was one of the most brutal and unparalleled cases of atrocity that he had ever heard of in that or any other court. The boy, who seems to be from seven to eight years of age, and h w ose appearance is smart and prepossessing, said he had been engaged to a chimney - s wee p er in the. Gallowgate, by his moth er , for a year ; and that his father had recently absconded.—Scots Times. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 14. John Higgins, and Timothy Morgan, were indicted for assaulting Peter Plant, a policeman of the G division , No 77. The prosecutor was called on to quell a disturbance in a public-house in Golden-lane, when the defendants at tacked him and beat him severely. The Jury found both the prisoners guilty. The CHAIRMAN said the Court would always protect the police in the execution of their duty. The sentence of the Court was that each of them be imprisoned three months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. Jane Jackson was convicted of stealing a considerable quantity of table linen, the property of Mr. James Highmore. Sentence, one month's imprisonment. Elizabeth Gaskin was indicted for stealing two snuff boxes, value 51., the property of Henry Cooper, her master. The prosecutor resided in Vale-place, Fulham, and the prisoner was a servant to the family. On the night of the 6th inst. she awoke the family, and stated that, on going up stairs to rest, she found a man under her bed. The house was immediately searched, but no traces of a robber could be found, but the drawers in one of the rooms were found to have been ransacked, and among other articles, the property in question stolen, no part of which has since been traced, but on searching the prisoner's box a key was found, which had long been missing, and which opened the door of the room from which the property was taken. She, however, was not suspected of the robbery until two days afterwards, when, on being taxed with it, and promised forgiveness, she confessed her guilt. The CHAIRMAN could not receive in evidence a confes sion made under such circumstances, and the other evi dence not being in his opinion sufficient to convict her, the Jury must acquit her.—She was acquitted accordingly. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing two bank notes for 10/. and two for .51. each _ . The evidence in this case being the same the prisoner was again acquitted, and on leaving the bar she said, laughing, " Thank you, gentlemen." SURREY SESSIONS.-KINGSTON, OCT. 14. The General Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey commenced yesterday at Kingston-on-Thames before B. BARNARD, Esq., and a very full Bench of Magistrates. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the Grand Jury, expressed great pleasure in informing them that their labours were likely to be very light, in consequence of the small number of cases in the calendar. REPORTS OF THE COUNTY PRISONS. The reports of the surgeons of the county prisons were to the effect that the prisons generally were in a healthy state. The report of the Rev. W. Mann, Chaplain of the County Gaol, excited the greatest attention, and was lis tened to with the most profound attention by a crowded Court. " I," said the Rev. Gentleman, " have never seen at any former period the prison so crowded as it now is, and has been for the last six or eight months. Our fre quent gaol deliveries afford little or no relief. It seems to me as if the prisoners were discharged to-day only to be exchanged for others to-morrow. This observation is ap licable to all the wards of the prison, and to all characters and conditions of the prisoners, male and female, young old. There is, however, generally speaking, the same de cency and decorum in their outward conduct and behaviour as stated in former reports—an apparent attention and de votion during divine service in the chapel, where I am fre quently gratified with the loud response, which appears to come from all the individuals of the congregation, and shows me two things, viz., that the greatest number of them can read, and that they have been before accustomed to the service of our Liturgy. There are, however, many exceptions and great varieties : some are naturally quiet, peaceable, and orderly ; others are so only by restraint, ma nagement, and a discipline which is not always available for the purpose, but fails of success." The Rev. Gentleman concluded by noticing the cleanliness, good order, and re gulation of the prison. The Chaplain of Brixton House of Correction was much gratified to make a favourable report. The Chaplain of Guildford House of Correction testified to the uniformly good conduct of the prisoners under his care, and to the attention they had paid to his instructions, whether in preaching, expounding the Scriptures, or convers ing with them in private. The Chaplain of Kingston Prison reported that the pri soners were orderly, and employed their leisure hours in reading and writing. The Governor of the County Gaol, reported that he had 339 prisoners under his care, 35 of whom were Court of Request debtors. The Governor of Brixton Gaol reported that he had the charge of 199 prisoners, 35 of whom were confined under sentence of Court-martial. Mr. Randle Jackson inquired if the Return, stating that one woman had been confined 37 times, was correct. Mr. Sibly stated that the Report was perfectly accurate, and that the woman whose name was Sophia Rhodes, no sooner got out of prison than she was sent there again. a _ The Governor . of the House of Correction at Guildford reported that he had 96 prisoners under his charge ; and the Governor of Kingston Gaol stated that 26 prisoners were confined in that prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. George Wormersley,one of the Society of Friends, was brought up forfinal examination charged with having robbed his employer Mr. Clarke, the extensive warehouseman of the Minories, of goods. The prisoner was confidentially employed by Mr. Clarke, and was in the habit of sympathising with him on the sub ject of the serious losses sustained by the house on account of the dishonesty of some of the servants. It is rather sin gular that the system (for the plunder had been going on for some time), was detected and exposed by a pawnbroker, who was aware that he must be a loser by giving the infor mation to Mr. Clarke. It will be recollected that a short time ago a younc , man in the employment of Mr. Clarke was committed to'Newgate for robbing his master, and that upon that occasion several pawnbrokers produced the goods which had been pledged by the accused. Mr. Bradley, of Tower-hill (the robbery having caused a sensation amongst the trade), began to examine his books, and found that a great number of new silk and velveteen waistcoats had been pledged from time to time by a person who appeared to be connected with some large establishment. His suspicion that all was not right was confirmed by the odd fact, that as he was passing along the street he saw the prisoner smoking his pipe in a very easy way at the door of a house which was differently situate from that which he described in his address while pledging. The pawnbroker immediately went to Mr. Clarke, and mentioned that there were twenty three waistcoats which had been pawned at the shop, and identified Wormersley as the man who had pledged most of them. The prisoner was therefore taken into custody. The waistcoats and the duplicates were produced, and the former were sworn to as the property of Mr. Clarke by that gentlemen's butler. Louisa Jennings, a woman who lodges in the house of the prisoner, had pledged four new waistcoats for the pri soner, and these waistcoats, as well as those pledged by the prisoner himself, were identified as the prosecutor's property. The LORD MAYOR very highly commended the conduct of Mr. Bradley upon the ocnasion. Mr. Clarke said that there were other pawnbrokers who could not be justly complimented in that manner. The prisoner had written to him letters admittirr , his guilt, and mentioned several pawnbrokers with whom he had pledged much more stolen property. Those pawnbrokers, how ever, had shown great unwillingness to assist the ends of justice, and had, in some instances, exhibited to him goods of another kind for the purpose of deceiving him. The LORD MAYOR desired that the names of such pawn brokers should be put down in a list, and pledged himself that a sharp eye should be kept upon them. The prisoner now being asked whether he wished to say anything, was not disposed to make his defence on the pre sent occasion. Mr. Clarke stated that several persons had called upon him and proposed a compromise to the amount of the loss occasioned by the depredations of the prisoner to the amount of 1501., but he had refused, as the indulgence he had exercised on previous occasions had led to the most extensive plunder. He regretted to be obliged to say that on no occasion could he be induced again to pardon a cri minal of this kind. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. John Mitchell, the cabman, some days ago charged with having stabbed a man in a public-house in Bishopsgate street with a knife, was brought up for further examination. It was stated that the woman who gave evidence on the occasion was ill and could not attend. The LORD MAYOR believed her non-attendance arose from a very different cause. He suspected that she was in timidated from attending by the companions of the cabman, and ordered that she should be compelled to come forward on the final re-examination, as her evidence was of import ance to the case. The owner of a public-house in Houndsditch charged a ward-constable, named Collins, with having allowed two " smashers," or passers of bad money, to escape. The LORD MAYOR said the case was one which must be investigated, and directed that it should be presented to the ward authorities. Mark Braclay, a genteel-looking young man, was charged with robbing Mr. Effingham Wilson, bookseller and pub lisher, of the Royal Exchange, of various sum of money at different times.—Remanded until Thursday. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a middle-aged widow, named Ann Keating, was brought before Mr. Alderman BIRCH, in consequence of having been found apparently in a state of derangement, surrounded by a crowd of persons, on the previous evening. Daniel Mealy, a City policeman, found her at eight o'clock in Redcross-square, Cripplegate, hugging a dead child, about seven months' old, to her breast with one arm, and flourishing a knife with the other to prevent any per son from taking the child from her. There was a mob about her, and she was in a state of great excitement. He sus pected she had been drinking, and, upon getting her to the Compter, it was a matter of great difficulty to get the child from her. It appeared she was a widow, with four chil dren, residing in Labour-in-Vain-yard, Thames-street. Her child died three or four days ago, and she was excited at not being able to obtain so decent a coffin from the parish as she wished to have. The corpse was now put into a shell, and would be buried in the afternoon. Foster, the Marshalman, knew the woman's husband, and he believed she had suffered greatly from distress. As she was now in a calm state, Mr. Alderman BIRCH dismissed her, with a few words of advice, and gave her a half-sovereign from his purse. BOW-STREET. THE POOR LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Yesterday Eliza beth Donovan and Norah Goffney, paupers of St. Martin's parish, were brought before Mr. AlmsHuLL and Mr. HALLS, charged with having violated the 92d clause of the Poor Law Amendment Bill, by introducing spirituous liquors into the workhouse. John Capper, the porter at the gate of the workhouse, stated that the defendants had received permission on Monday to go out for a holiday. The defendant Elizabeth Donovan came home at nine o'clock at night, and on searching her a bottle of rum was found concealed in her stocking. The other defendant came home about the same time in a state of intoxication, and on searching her a bottle containing two quarts and a half of gin was found under her arm. They were both detained in the work house until they could be brought before the Magistrates. Mrs. Donovan's defence was that she had abad cold, and that for its cure she was prescribed hot rum and water upon going to bed.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Goffney also pleaded guilty to the charge ; but, in extenuation, she said she was severely afflicted with the cholic, and she had obtained the little drop of gin for the purpose of expelling the wind from her stomach.—(Great laughter.) The Magistrates fined each defendant 10s., and in de fault of payment they were committed for seven days to the House of Correction. QUEEN- SQUARE. THE LORD CHANCELLOR IN THE WORKHOUSE.— Yesterday John Kingsbury, better known in the neigh bourhood of the House of Commons and Westminster-hall by the cognomen of " The Lord Chancellor," was brought up in custody before Mr. WHITE, charged with being drunk and disorderly at St. Margaret's Workhouse, and threaten ing to assault Mr. Elliott, the governor. Kingsbury is quite a character in his way ; he was a ticket porter at the House of Commons, and earned a good deal of money by holding horses and running of errands. He was particularly fond of making speeches at different public-houses, and was at last styled the Lord Chancellor. Delighted with his new title, he became most insufferably vain and conceited, and would scarcely answer any one if he was not addressed " My Lord," or " Your Lordship." At last he procured a barrister's gown and wig, which he wore regularly every night at the Old Star and Crown, in the Broadway, a house which he was particularly attached to, on account of the company humouring his extrava gances, and he procured an artist, who painted a full length likeness of his Lordship, dressed in his gown and wig, in the act of making a speech, which he presented to the land lord of the house, and it at present hangs up in his parlour. His Lordship at this time was the happiest of men, and he was about to take unto himself a wife, and he sent notes to all his acquaintances, inviting them to the Lord High Chancellor's nuptials. The happy day was fast ap proaching, when an unfortunate event occurred, which destroyed all his prospects, and blighted his hopes : One unlucky day, when his Lordship was holding a horse at the House of Commons, he was rather in solent to some gentleman, who reported his conduct, and he was dismissed from his place of ticket-porter. This was a sad reverse of fortune ; his clothes were soon pawned, and, last of all, he was compelled to part with his gown and wig. He never held up his head after that. He could get no work, and being turned pennyless out of his lodging, he was reluctantly compelled to apply to the parish officers, who suffered him to apply at the workhouse, and in the day time he used to earn a shilling by assisting to dig graves in St. Margaret's Churchyard. Misfortunes, however, seem still to follow him, for on the previous day he met with one of his old acquaintances who had known him in the zenith of his glory, with whom he drank rather too much liquor, and did not arrive at the workhouse until after seven o'clock in the evening, the latest hour at which those unfortunate persons are admitted. Mr. Elliott refused to admit him into the workhouse at such a late hour. His Lordship, being inspired with liquor, became very clamorous, used violent threats, and at last put his fist in the master's face, who gave him into custody. At the station-house, when the charge was made before the inspector, his Lordship quoted several clauses from the new Poor Law Bill, and contended at great length that the master had acted illegally by refus ing him admittance into the workhouse. He was, however, ultimately locked up. On being brought to the office, and the charge having been proved, the Magistrates ordered him to find sureties for his future good behaviour, and in default he was locked up. THE TRADES' UNIONS.—John Hutchinson, a carpen ter and member of the Trades' Union was charged on a peace warrant before Mr. BURRELL, with using threatening and intimidating language to Abraham Heath, an engineer. Mr. Flower, Solicitor, attended for the defendant. _ The complainant had been a member of the Trades' Union, but had left it some short time ago, and signed the Master's document. This had excited the spleen of some some of the members, who had abused and jeered him for so doing, and they had also used threatening language to wards him. After a long conversation the defendant was discharged on his promise not to molest the defendant. David Voyer, another workman, was charged with as saulting John Phillips, and he was ordered to pay 10s. for the assault, and 10s., the damage done to his hat. UNION-HALL. Yesterday three journeymen hatters in the employment of Messrs. Christie, the hat manufacturers of Bermondsey, were brought before Mr. WEDGwoon, charged with absent ing themselves, and leaving their work in an unfinished state. The MAGISTRATE committed them for one month each to Brixton to hard labour. A remarkable phenomenon has been observed in the neighbourhood of Frankfort. It is a sudden malady among the mice, thousands of which are found dead or dying in the fields. PEARLS.-Pearls were very highly esteemed in Pliny's days.—The ladies wore them dangling at their fingers and cars, took great delight in hearing them rattle, and not only appended them to their garments, but even embroidered their buskins with them. It will not suffice them, says he, nor serve their turn, to carry pearls about them, but they must tread among pearls, go among pearls, and walk as it were on a pavement of pearls.

IGNIS FATUUS.—A fine specimen of this pheno menon was witnessed on the " Loch of Barbush," near Dun blane, on Monday evening. This loch, comprising upwards of seven acres, was used about ten years ago as a curling pond by the Dunblane Club; but subsequently, from the excessive growth of a species of lichen and furze from its mossy bottom, this water disappeared, and the whole surface now presents the appearance of a brown dusky morass. Here, during an hour and a half, apparently dancing along the whole surface of the marsh, " Jack wi' the Lantern," or rather " Will o' the Wisp," went through all the varieties of his nocturnal gambols, to the amusement of some, and the wonder and terror of others, who were passinf , at the time. Two, three, four, and even s i x " glints" of blue light were frequently visible at the same in stant, reeling and passing each other in the most fantastic manner imaginable. It was remarked that this phenomenon became extinct upon the fall of a heavy shower of rain, accom panied with a high wind ; and that, during the whole time of the phosphoric ignition, the air was perfectly calm and moist. —Edinburgh Evening Courant. PRESERVATION OF ANIMAL SUBSTANCE IN P EAT .--One interesting circ ums t ance atten di ng the h i story of peat mosses is the high state o f preservat i on o f an i ma l sub stances buriedin them for periods of many years. In June, 1747, the body of a woman was found six feet deep, in a peat moor in the Isle of Axholme, in Lincolnshire. The antique sandals on her feet afforded evidence of her having been buried there for many ages ; yet her nails, hair, and skin are described as having shown hardly any marks of decay. In a turbury on the estate of Earl Moira, in Ireland. a human body was dug up, a foot deep in gravel, covered with eleven feet of moss ; the body was completely clothed, and the garment seemed all to be made of hair. Before the use of wool was known in that country, the clothing of the inhabitants was made of hair, so that it would appear that the body had been buried at that early period; yet it was fresh and unimpaired. In the " Phi losophical Transactions," we find an example recorded of the bodies of two persons having been buried in moist peat, in Derbyshire, 1674, about a yard deep, which were examined twenty-eight years and nine months afterwards ; " the colour of their skin was fair and natural, their flesh soft as that of persons newly dead."—Lyell's Geology. CORSICAN ASSIZES. The inhabitants of Orezzo, and particularly the mule teers, pique themselves upon their w;:„ and readiness at repartee. When excited by wine, th.ey crack their jokes upon whoever they happen to meet on the road, and very often throw out hints against the rsiharacter of females. In April, 1833, several of these muleteers were conducting their animals (which were laden with potash) near to the Commune of lavas:7,la ; and were amusing themselves by giving way to their inclination for raillery. The wife of a man named Orsini was the subject of their jests ; but it so happened that the husband was working in a vineyard hard by and overheard them ; a violent quarrel ensued, but the mayor and some of the inhabitants of lavagna having in terfered, nothing more serious occurred than very high words on both sides. However, in the course of the even ing there were manifestations of irritation among the mule teers—one of whom, named Antonio-Mateo Cippriani, was observed to be loading his gun. On being questioned as to what use he meant to make of it, he answered, " I am going to shoot blackbirds ;" at the same time treading slightly upon the foot of one of his companions. This movement was significative of what was to take place the next day. Their road lay by the side of the vineyard where Orsini was working with several others. Scarcely had the mule teers approached, than they broke into a chorus of insinu ations against the woman, followed by insulting expressions towards the viczerons—such as, " Now is the time to show your courage if you have any." " Who among you has heart enough to attack the mountaineers ?" "If you were not cowards, you would already have come forward ; but, above all, you are the man we are waiting for," they said, addressing the husband. Upon this, the latter threw down his spade, ran to his hut, took his gun, and advanced towards the point of the road where the muleteers were stationed. His companions endeavoured to stop him, but it was too late—he fell dead from a shot before he had time to make use of his own gun. Cipriani (the muleteer who was seen getting his gun ready the eveninc , before) was ar rested, and put upon his t r i a l f or th e murder. One of the witnesses was the brother of the deceased. The prisoner, addressing himself to the Jury, said, " His deposition is false : he has lost his brother, and wishes to avenge his death." At these words the witness turned towards the prisoner with a look of contempt, and replied, " If I had wished to avenge my brother's death personally, I should not have been here. Had I not a flint and a cartridge ? I look to the Jury for prompt justice. If my expectation should not be realised, no doubt it would become my duty to take personal vengeance." Another witness having omitted to testify to a remark able fact which he had stated previously, the President in quired the cause ?—" I have been threatened with death, M. le President."—" But you should not believe such a threat."—" I beg your pardon, M. le President ; if these people promise you a thousand crowns, don't reckon upon them ; but if you are threatened to have your brains blown out, I recommend you to be upon your guard—the promise will be kept." The Jury after an hour's deliberation, brought in a ver dict of " Guilty of Murder without provocation, but with extenuating circumstances." The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment.—Gazette des Tribunaux. RETFORD HOP FAIR. Our great annual fair was held for the 491st time on Thursday and Friday last, and was the best in almost every respect we have witnessed for a long series of years. As we had anticipated, the quantity of hops offered was consider able, amounting to 3,261 bags, including about 120 bags of yearlings. Last year, the quantity of new and old amounted to 1,557. The quality of the new produce is, generally speaking, fine, but they have weighed off lighter than was expected, owing principally to two causes—first, the very short period in which they made their growth, and secondly, to many of the growers commencing to pull them full a week earlier than they ought to have done. From these causes the crop is not only light, but will prove somewhat inferior in strength to those of 1832. On the first day of the fair, prices seemed to be somewhat drooping, and what purchases were made were done very tardily ; a considerable quantity of Kent and Sussex hops, however, were sold at fair remunerating prices. On the second day, the market opened in a very brisk state, and continued so until evening, with prices a little creeping up. At the close of the fair, nearly every bag was purchased, a circumstance altogether unpre cedented here, and at prices too which were generally con sidered satisfactory to both sellers and purchasers. The samples of Kents and Sussex which were shown were fine in colour, but we have seen them much better in former years ; and the difference between the growth of these counties and the North Clays was strikingly apparent, proving the general superiority of the hops grown in this district over all others in the kingdom, Farnhams, perhaps, excepted. Mr. Atkin Ogle, of 011erton, sold upwards of 300 bags ; Mr. Williamson, of Rufford, 130 ; and Mr. Gravenor, of Bellinoor, 103 ; this latter gentleman's hops realized the highest price in the fair. The Earl of Scar borough's produce was good, and so were the whole of the Beastwood plantations ; Mr. William Bullivant, of the lat ter place, sold at prices nearly as high as Mr. Gravenor. The produce of the Elksley plantations was beautifully fine, especially Mr. T. Johnson's, which were supposed to rival the whole district, but it was disposed of previous to the fair. The samples of Messrs. Fisher, wheelwright, and Hud son of Clarberough, were greatly admired, and all found ready purchasers. The prices obtained may be stated as under : Clays £5 sto 6 0 choice £6 10 to 7 0 Kents Sussex 5 otos 10 fine... 6 oto 6 6 Yearling Clays were not much enquired for until the second day, when several parcels were sold at prices varying from 4/. to 41. 12s. A few good Kents, of the growth of 1832, were offered at 3/. 3s. but without finding a customer. Du ring the fair, the weather was delightfully fine, and it may be questioned whether more money ever exchanged hands, or whether a fair has passed over, giving such general satis faction to all parties —a proof that this mart is rising in im portance, bidding fair to rival some of the best established fairs in the Kingdom.—Nottingham Mercury.
