SPIRIT OF THZ tittttc JOURNALS. There were two subjects under discussion in the House of Commons on Monday last, which at a less critical moment than this, we should bay pressed hard for more serious considera tion than has ever yet been bestowed upon them, at least within the walls of Parliament. The first of these was the relation in which we stand to our North American dominions. It is noto rious, and indeed was but recently proclaimed to the world, by the governor of one of our most important possessions in that quarter, that a spi rit of ill-will and insubordination prevailed so extensively among the higher classes of the colo nists, constituting the legislative assembly of the province, as to render him altogether hopeless of persuading them to an adoption of the measures which he was instructed by his Majesty to re commend. We are aware, from other sources, how large an intermixture of citizens of the United Stsktes is to be found among the inhabit ants of the upper province especially, and by what surly and refractoiy dispositions towards Greet Britain they are at all times animated. A test of their character as British subjects has been lately applied to these emigrants from the neighbouring republic, by making it imperative on, those who hold lands within the territory of the King of Great Britain, to take an oath of allegiance to his Majesty (such, at least, is the understanding of the measure as conveyed to us). This rule is absolutely according to the na ture and principles of the law of England, which prohibit any but British subjects to be proprietors of British soil. Much ill blood, however, has resulted from the application of the above maxim of English law to the colonies, where, neverthe less, it is, all things considered, even more es sential as a political security, than in the parent kingdom. But, regarded as a stimulus to colo nial discontent, the demand of this new test of fidelity, must be held as part of that great body of circumstances which go to deepen the for midable aspect of the question—" How far is it prudent to invest the political and financial re sources of Great Britain in speculative under takings, which nave either the defence or im provement of the Canadas for their final object ?" If we can render Canada an impregnable position against foreign war and internal treason, and if, when secured, the cost be not beyond the value of the article protected, common sense will say, execute your works of defence. But if, after all that can be accomplished, the security sought be still a problem in the minds of the most com petent judges, why, then we may be permitted to remark, that every shilling devoted to so doubt ful a purpose is no better than gambled away. It is not our inclination to run riot in the abuse or contempt of distant colonies ; they may contri bute something to the national commerce, — something, though less than has often been as sumed, to the maintainance of a military ma rine,—something to substantial power, and more to the appearance of it ; but it is not un reasonable to acknowledge that they may he too dearly purchased. We pay a million sterling per annum to the shipping interest in the shape of a bounty on Canadian timber, as compared with the far more valuable growth of Norway; and we are forced to pay, bestdea, the military establishment of the country, which yields that inferior and much encouraged article, There are many intelligent per sona who esndemn both payments as unwise. How ever--s-not to follow up this question of the Canadas 'coo curiously,—let us ask, with respect to the second subject of Monday night's discussion, what benefit has England ever yet extracted from the pes tilential posts which she occupies on the western coast of Africa ? and what real advantage has she yet conferred through them upon the Negro people The annual expense of these garrisons and holdings is enormous—the loss of British life is altogether frightful—and the havoc inflicted by the execrable slave trade on the people of Africa, as that trade is carried on by nations over vrtigh England has no political or lawful controul, has become more exten- sive, more cruel and irremediable than ever. Bene ficence exercised towards suffering humanity is, of course, beyond all price, and almost forbids the cal culation of cost or obstruction ; but here is obstruc tion which cannot in its nature be overcome—cost which can never be compensated—and, we must add, the extremity of mortal suffering, not removed from the Negro, nor merely transferred to the white, but extended and generalized over both .di visions of the great human family. We trust Mi nisters will have boldness and wisdom to look this matter steadily in the face.— Times. It is a matter of some satisfaction, that Lord Redesdale and his resolutions-26 mortal reso lusions I—on the Corn Laws, which the Learned Lord dragged forward last night in the Upper House, were got rid of without a division. In deed, had his Lordship but insisted on dividing, we can hardly say what might have been the re sult ; we fear he might have carried his resolu tions (and, Lord have mercy on us, what a weight would he then - have carried !); for, some how or other, during his speech, all who might have opposed his Lordship, fled before him, resign ing to the Noble Lord the empty bench e s f or an audience, and insuring him a majority of one, had he called on Lord Lyndhurst to put the question. The fact is, that in the " march of intellect," like other rapid marches, it is customary to leave the heavy baggage behind: a certain class, therefore, of our ancient sages are sure to be found in the rear of the legisla tive army.—lbid. Lord Redesdale belaboured himself and the House to some purpose last night. Of all the jumbles of false and true, true facts and false in ferences from them, misapprehensions, contra diction of what existed only in the speaker's brain, &c. &c. we never heard any thing to equal this effort of his Lordship. That one head should have carried such an incongruous mass of mate rials, is to us a sort of miracle. His Lordship does not know when he differs and when he agrees with the Political Economists of the New School ; and he does not know wherein the lat ter differs from their predecessors.—Morning Chronicle. A subject of the utmost importance, whether viewed with reference to the people of these Islands, or to the population of our extensive possessions in Asia, was brought last night be fore the House of Commons, by Mr. W. Whit more. India, and the Islands in the Indian Seas, have hitherto been locked up by monopoly from British enterprise. The partial opening of trade, which has taken place since 1814, has led to an extension of trade, which was not contem plated, even by the most sanguine, in the dis cussions on the last renewal of the Charter. The average yearly value of woollen goo4S - I;ei risen in a few years five-fold. Cotton was still more wonderful. Though the cotton manufac ture had its origin in India, and even the term calico be derived from the capital of an Indian empire, though labour was even seven times cheaper than in England, though we draw from that part of the world a part of the raw material, yet such was the effect of our skill and machi nery, that since the opening of the trade, a large and increasing exportation of wrought cottons actually took place from this country to Hindos tan. But though Hindostan is not, as for merly, closed to English enterprise, still a private trader is in most parts of Hindostan exceed ingly hampered by the East India Com pany. A duty too on sugar, exposes that com modity to an unequal competition in the market. Mr. Huskisson, in an interesting speech, expressed his concurrence with much of what fell from Mr. Whitmore, and particularly as to what he had said respecting free ports. " The effects of the system which had been introduced (he said), as far as it could at present be judged of, was most satisfactory; and what might be its ultimate results on the trade with China and with the immense population in other parts of the Indian Seas, no one could antici pate. For his own part he confessed, that he was exceedingly sanguine on the subject; and that he looked forward to the most extensive commercial in tercourse under the British flag between the Wes tern parts of America and the Eastern parts of Asia." Mr. Huskisson observed, that inquiry could he conducted to more advantage when the results of the experiments now making could be known. At present the appointment of a Committee might create alarm and excite exasperation; and therefore, however reluctantly, he felt himself obliged to op pose the motion. The motion has served to put the public in possession of the views entertained by Government respecting the trade with the East; and therefore it may be said to have been success ful.—lbid. It is supposed among the City politicians, in consequence of Lord Dudley and Ward's reply to a question asked him as Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that our troops will, in a short time, be withdrawn from Portugal. It is generally un derstood, that there is some sort .of treaty pen ding between this country and France on this subject, stipulating that we shall withdraw our troops from Portugal, and that the French army, at the same time, shall evacuate Spain. Our belief is, that we shall withdraw our troops from Portugal, but we cannot bring ourselves to be lieve that the French will withdraw their's from Spain. It is not likely that the French, after having got possession of so large and conve .niently situated a territory as Spain, and such fortresses as Cadiz, Barcelona, St. Sebastian, especially whilst we retain possession of Gibral tar, should withdraw their troops. We think there will be a treaty something like this between the two countries--that both Governments shall withdraw certain portions of troops at stated times. We, for instance, have about 5,000 men in Portugal, whilst the French forces in Spain probably amount to 50,000 men. We think the convention will be to this effect—that we shall undertake, for five years to come, to withdraw every year 1,000 men, and the French will undertake to withdraw 10,000 men annually. But our firm belief is, supposing such a treaty to be entered into, that we shall fulfil our part of the treaty, whilst the French will not perform their part of the treaty. It is very likely that, as has been done in the case of Austria, France would withdraw certain portions of her troops annually, for perhaps, three or four years, but not to the extent stipulated for, though we be lieve that the French newspapers would mention that the contract bad been faithfully fulfilled to the utmost extent. The last year or two would be the trying time, but when that arrived, the French would play the very same game over again, which Austria has been playing at Naples—namely, by making use of one pretence or another, keep a suffi cient force to insure possession of the country under almost any circumstances. However, we shall be glad to hear of our forces leaving Portugal; for to keep there so small a force as 5,000 men is, in our opinion, not sufficient to keep military possession, under revolutionary circumstances, and to send a force of 10 or 20,000 men, would cost more than the country would be worth to us, even as a pro vince of England. Mr. Canning led us into this mess for the sake of giving Portugal a Constitution, which, it is clear, that the people of Portugal care sot one farthing for, and, in fact, about which, in general, they know nothing. The same person being now Prime Minister, has an opportunity of getting us out of this mess, and the sooner perhaps the better, for our present revenue will not bear so enormous an extra charge.—Morning Herald.

This was an action of trorer, tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the sittings after last Trinity Term, when a ver dict of 1,0001. was found for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, on a case argued to-day by Mr. Rsitxx, for the plaintiff, and Mr. FREDERICK PoLLocx, for the defendants. Mileham owed the plaintiff 6231. for money lent, and, to secure it, executed, in February, 1819, his warrant of attorney to the plain tiff, who, on the 10th of November, 1825, entered up judgment upon it, issued a writ of execution against the goods of Mileham, and delivered it to the Sheriff, who on the same day entered Mileham's premises and seized his stock in trade, estate, and effects, which were af terwards appraised at 402/. ; for which stun the Sheriff, by bill of sale, made them over to the plaintiff, who took possession of them on the sth of December, and carried on the same business (that of a grocer) on the premises, in his own name. On the 23d of December Mileham declared himself insolvent, and on the 30th of December a commission was issued against him, whereon he was declared a bankrupt. The messenger tinder the commission immediately took possession of the goods which had been so made over to the plaintiff, and they were afterwards sold by the direction of the defendants. The plaintiff made a demand of the goods before the sale. The question turned upon the 108th sec tion of the new Bankrupt Act, which enacts, that no cre ditor having security for his debt shall receive, upon such security, more than a rateable part, except in respect of any execution levied by seizure upon the property of the bankrupt before the bankruptcy : provided that no credi tor who shall sue out execution upon any judgment ob tained by confession shall avail himself of such execution to the prejudice of other creditors. _ _ Mr. PARK contended that this clause, admitted to be contradictory to the 81st clause, did not apply to the pre. sent case. Mr. F. PoLLocx relied upon the precise words of the clause. The Court delivered their opinion in favour of the plaintiff. THE KING V. COLONEL BRADLEY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, just before the rising of the Court, applied (at the instance of General Fuller) for a criminal information against Col. Bradley. Lord TINTEADIN.- - Take a rule to show cause. In the course of the day his Majesty's warrant, under the recent act, was read, directing the Judges of the Court, or any two of them to sit in ianco after the term, on Tues day the 29th, and Wednesday the 30th of May, and on Thursday the 7th of June, and thence to Thursday the Ilth of June. Lord TENTERDIN said, the Judges would sit in the ad joining Court, awl he would endeavour so to arrange the sittings at Nisi Priits, as to be at Westminster on those days as much as possible. INC EN DIARIES.--A most diabolical and cold-blooded attempt was made a week ago to destroy by fire the heath, or rather the grouse, on Cannock Chase, in this county, the lord ship of the Marquis of Anglesea. The attempt was in a great measure, we regret to add, suc cessful, as for a distance of' two miles in length, and several hundred acres in breadth, the heath was completely burnt. The mode adopted to extinguish the fire was the employment of about 200 men, with long sticks, beating the heath until their object %vac accomplished. A breed of black as well as red grouse has been for se veral years anxiously preserved on these moors, and there is too much reason to suspect that the mischief to the eggs and sitting birds is very considorable.—Stajf9rd Advertizer. MR. ABERNETHY ON APOPLEXY. Well, then, again you .have apoplectic cells.— Here are specimens of plenty of them. Blood vessels burst upon the brain ; the blood gets ef fused ; it clots, and forms cells in the brain, and that is called sanguineous apoplexy. Now with regard to sanguineous apoplexy, Dr. Baillie has said, you generally see some alteration in the natural structure of the principal arteries ; that they are white, in some degree ossified ; and that in this state they are more liable to burst than in the healthy state ; that there is a sort of diseased structure in them, which renders them the more liable to burst. Well, now, I say, that that's the morbid action of the blood-vessels ; that it pro ceeds from the too forcible action of the blood, and that therefore all this is likely to be observed in the principal arteries, where that' go into the brain. Here are s pecimens of arteries which have penetrated the substance of the brain, ossi fied. This was the brain of a man who had been long ill, and had had very strong nervous symp toms. A surgeon being employed to examine the brain, he notched his knives, and he had to go on haggling and scratching through the ossi fied arteries which ran through the substance of the brs;.n. Well, of course the arteries of the brain are liable to the same sort of disease which the other arteries of the body are liable to ; and of course diseased arteries are more liable to burst by a forciWe action of the blood, than sound arteries. Sanguineous apoplexy also, is more common to the old than to the young, where probably some disease of the arteries has taken place, owing to the too forcible action of the blood-vessels. But the young - do likewise have sanguineous apoplexy, in consequence of diseased blood, vessels in the brain. I have seen it many times, but still it is not common. The young seem to me to be more subject to nervous apoplexy, than to apoplexia sangutnea. Now what's to be done in these cases ? 0, to guard against the forcible action of the heart and arteries ; that state of irritation which is the cause of inherent vascular action, must be your object. You say, however, that a vessel gives way, and blood is shed; what does it do ? Why it acts as pressure. It generally falls on so►ne part of the body; but a very considerable quan tity of blood may be shed, and yet the patient may recover. I may relate the case of a great effusion of blood where the patient did recover ; it was the case of Mr. Baddeley, the player.— He fell down in a fit ; there was a great effusion of blood, but he recovered, played again on the stage, and then he died in a second fit of apo plexy. I think you may easily know the state of an individual who is liable to sanguineous apo plexy, if you will be observant. To convey to you the state of my mind on this subject, I will tell you the case of an old man with whom I was acquainted, who could get no better doctor to attend him than myself; he could not afford to give fees. He was a man of a vigorous consti tution ; he lived nearly to the age of seventy, without having had the slightest illness. He then had occasionally a fit of the gout, and sub sequently he had a slight attack of apoplexy.— The first fit he had affected his speech, and left him in a state unable to articulate. After some years he had another fit, and this affected one side of his face, but not more. Then again he had a third fit, which left him completely with out any motion in one side of the body. It was one of the larger vessels that had burst. He was a man of great vigour, both of body and mind, but when I first knew him it was just as he was recovering from his third fit. He used sometimes to forget all about every thing that had transpired, and was quite unconscious of all around him. I admonished him about his diet, aid about keeping his bowels regular (laughter) and I made him an issue in the neck, and his recovery was rapid beyond belief. He soon had all his wits about him ; he became able to go forth and walk in his garden, to recount again with accuracy all the adventures and incidents of his past life, and he was very comfortable.— As long as I knew him he had a fit of gout in the winter, and every year, in the sum mer, he had a violent throbbing in the vessels of his head ; but he kept his bowels open, and went on tolerably comfortable for five or six years.— But I remember one summer time, for he lived in the country, on going into the house, I saw that he looked a little confused, and his wife said to me, I don't know what's the matter with him —I think it may be his stomach. I saw the temporal artery beating violently ; I said, bring me a basin, and on puncturing the temporal ar tery, I got about fourteen ounces of blood from it, and closed the wound. Then I said to him, well, Sir, how do find yourself now ? says he, as well as ever I found myself in my life. He got up, threw himself down into his chair with a thump on his bottom ; now, said he, before you took away that blood I was obliged to sit down very cautiously, otherwise it would have jarred my head, but now you see what I can do. I say I think you will have forewarnings enough if you are observant. Coughing hurts the head most excessively where there is a tendency to inflammatory action, and the throbbing of the vessels seems to cause them all to go into a sort of sanguineous apoplexy.—Lancet of Saturday. CURIOSITIES Or KEW.—At Kew there is neither doctor, lawyer, nor barber ; the postmas ter, it is said, can neither read nor write ; and it is a Vicarage without a Vicar, he having made him self conspicuous at Thurtell's trial, and has ever since been absent. But there is no lack of Ser mons ; for one of the innkeepers, bearing that name, and his brother, a butcher, have each a large family. The toll on the bridge is enor mous, and is taken every time you pass or repass. If you want a post-chaise, you must take it either from Brentford, and the Coils will cost four shil lings ; or from Richmond, which is two miles off'. A poor ragged urchin was tried (at the last Westmoreland Sessions) for stealing an old jacket from a lime-kiln ; proof " was strong as holy writ," the Chairman summed up with clear ness and precision, and the wisdom of the yeo manry was now to he condensed. After a long deliberation on this knotty point, they turned round—" Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict ?" when the Foreman peeped cun ningly from beneath a shaggy front, with about as much intelligence in it as that contained in the face of an ourang-outang, and said, " not guilty ; but he ought to be severely reprimanded for stealing it." Married, on the 30th nit. at Whitford, Mr. James Evans, of Parcival Lodge, a merry and in defatigable mender of soles, vulgarly called a cob bler, in his 45th year, and with a legacy of three children left by his former wife, to Miss Phcebe Hughes, of Pistill, in the county of Carnarvon, a cherry-checked young lady of 21. The Lodge (vulgo a bulk) in which this hard working man is to labour in his vocation, is about six feet square, and just high enough to allow of his standing erect within its confines with his hat off.
