SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The publication of the Address agreed on at the City of London Tavern, with the signatures to it, is so far a fair proceeding, that every one acquainted with the metropolis may, by inspecting the names and addresses, form his own opinion with regard to them. The number of signatures is stated by the Times at between 5 and 6,000. The first observation that suggests itself on an inspection of the signatures is, that at least three out of four are not electors of the City of London. Indeed, the signatures range over the whole metropolitan district ; and the Address may, with as much propriety, be ascribed to 'Westminster or Southwark, or any other part of the metropolis, as Lon don proper. That in a district containing a population of nearly two millions, the Tories should be able to pro cure between 5 or 6,000 signatures, can surprise no one. We have received a number of communications on the subject of the Address, in which numerous errors are pointed out. Some of the names, for instance, are repeated three times : as Mr. Haggart, Old Broad street, three times ; Mr. Shuttleworth, Poultry, and Mr. Burrell, Tokenhouse-yard, are repeated more than once. Chapman Marshall, Alderman, is twice entered. A device to swell the list has been frequently resorted to—that of entering the firm, and then the different partners individually. In numerous cases, the whole establishment down to the porter at the door, has signed. The same individual is often entered at different places—as for instance Fred. Barlow Pratt (wine-merchant and magistrate), Bridge -street, Black friars,.and F. B. Pratt, Kensington. Numerous clerks of the Bank and the Establishments,who have no vote, and many minors, are also stated to have subscribed. But we should never have done, were we to insert the names coming under this description which have been pointed out to us. The number of merchants, traders, shopkeepers, &c., entered in Tile London Directory and Court Guide amounts to nearly 80,000 ; and it would be strange, indeed, if the Tories, by exerting their in fluence over tradesmen, &c., could not master a six teenth part of the whole, even on the supposition that the names to the Address are those of persons really in business. There are, no doubt, many respectable names to the Address ; but an inspection of a com plete list of " the Merchants, Bankers, Shipowners, Traders, and others connected with the City of Lon don," will satisfy any one at all acquainted with the metropolis, that the signatures in the Times, include a -small proportion only of the rich and respectable capitalists and persons engaged in trade. How ever, we have no wish to enter on the thank less labour of pointing out the number of boys, warehousemen, porters, and others, who have been entered among the traders of the port of London. The task of analysing the list will, no doubt, be un dertaken by competent persons, when a very sorry account will be given of a very large proportion of the 5,000 names. Our table is loaded with communica tions on the subject ; but we can only thank our cor respondents, and repeat that we must abstain from entering into a detailed examination, which would be interminable. This must be said, that the gentlemen entrusted with the business of procuring signatures displayed some tact at the Meeting yesterday, in ask ing all those who claimed admittance whether they had signed the Address, and refusing such as could not answer in the affirmative, and very charitably at the same time informing them that it lay for signature in another room, and that, on qualifying themselves, they might enter the Meeting. This was turning curiosity to good account.—Morning Chronicle. The partisans of the ousted Whigs are more than usually oracular upon the subject of the ensuing elec tions. According to them it is quite useless for any of their opponents to go to the poll, every candidate in their interest being, as they allege, " quite secure." It is surprising, too, how this security has grown, or, as it were, imperceptibly crept upon them. According to the most learned in calculating this species of nativity, it was only a week ago admitted that the new Adminis tration would gain 150 upon the aggregate of the elec tions. By degrees this number dwindled down to 40, while the last authoritative announcement makes it 82. In calculations so very variable and contradictory we doubt whether the most credulous are likely to place much faith. For ourselves, we frankly confess that we give them no credit at all ; but look upon such prognostica tions for the most part as the mere dreams of that race of quidnuncs, whose positiveness generally bears an exact proportion to their ignorance. With reference to the elections themselves, we believe it will be found that in many instances the greatest uncertainty prevails where the most positive certainty is professed ; and then to anticipate what the votes of Members will be before the points they will have to vote upon are known, seems a strange way of dealing before-hand with the members of a deliberative assembly. We are aware that the language held by part of the Press is, " oppose the present Ministers at any rate ;" and there may be persons—only a few it is to be hoped-- self-degraded enough to work their way into Parliament upon such terms ; but we have a better opinion both of the reformed constituency and of the majority of those who present themselves as candidates for their choice than to assume that the one would dictate, or the other succumb, to anything so degrading as this. As far as the late Administration is concerned, .we believe that the country in general entertains no kind of sympathy towards it. Its dissolution seems very generally ad mitted to have been inevitable ; and, though it might have been postponed, it could not be averted. If the Reform Act works as it ought to do, the Mem bers electni under it must express the true feelings of the country. Those feelings, if we rightly estimate public opinion, are not with the Whigs. They have been tried and found wanting. In no one department of the public service have they realised, or were they likely to realise public expectation.l bus circu ms t ance d, th e King has called to his Councils a new Administration. We will concede, for the sake of argument, that it may in appearance be of a more a nti-Reform character than the country in general might have wished ; but as yet this is mere conjecture. As yet the new Administration has done no one act, and expressed no one opinion which calls for condemnation. Nor is the bulk of the people so unjust as to condemn them unheard and by anticipation. To say, then, that there will be a trial of strength on the very first day of the meeting of the new Parliament, on the question of the address,'if not on the election of a Speaker, and that the majority will be precisely what these political oracles choose to pronounce, is, in our estimation, the greatest affront which they can offer to the persons whom they thus choose to pronounce the ready-bespoke tools of fac tion. On the contrary, we are rather inclined to give Members of Parliament credit for a little more wisdom and prudence than this ; and that they will, at least, wait to see what it is that they have to approve or condemn, before they pronounce a judgment upon it. It will be the fault, we readily admit, of the new Mi nistry if they do not make out a case, and chalk out a line of policy, both foreign and domestic, which may ensure a verdict in their favour.--Morning Herald. " A good beginning makes a good ending" is an old English proverb, the truth of which will be manifested at the ensuing general election. We need scarcely say that we refer to the City meeting of yesterday, which has (as was truly observed by one of the speakers) never been surpassed as to the respectability of the persons composing it. Nor was this all. A degree of sober, rational enthusiasm, an absence of all personal bitterness and asperity, pervaded the assemblage, which afforded an honourable contrast to the evening orgies of the Destructives, to the rabid vituperation of the Lushingtons, the Duncombes, and the other turbulent and foul-mouthed individuals who play the principal parts on such occasions. The men tion of the names of .Ward, Lyall, and Wilson, called forth (as will be seen by our report) hearty and long-continued cheering ; while the senti ments expressed by these gentlemen, and their deter mination to give the electors of London an opportunity of recording their opinions by their votes, strengthened in no ordinary degree the feelings manifested by those cheers, and pledged each individual present to do all in his power to secure to country the services of men whose names, whose characters, 'hose talent, and -whose station are guarantees for their fulfilment of the duties they undertake. We call, then, upon every one connected with the first city in the world to support, both by his purse and influence, the cause of order and good government, and thus to maintain to the ut most of his power the just and undoubted prerogatives of the Crown, the best security for the liberties of the people. Let the inhabitants of this mighty city reflect, that to them, as the constituency of the most powerful metropolis in the world, their brother electors throughout the country look with • anxious eyes, in the earnest hope that they will set a bright example. On that city whose merchants are princes, surely our expectations and wishes are well based. Where, indeed, can institutions be found to bear comparison with her's ; and what a stake has she in the general welfare of the kingdom ? Yet if energy, activity, and union are wanting at the present moment all these institutions will perish as though they had never been—their place occupied by the hasty and unseemly contrivances of wicked and foolish men— contrivances which, possessing neither use nor beauty, whose only charm. being that of novelty, will soon pall upon the taste. Up, then, electors of England Support your good King in the peaceful struggle for his rights and our privileges which is about to ensue. London has taught you the excellent lesson of com mencing well. Be it your task and theirs to follow up the good beginning, and to select men as your Repre sentatives who, pledged to no particular party as a party, will exert themselves diligently and steadily in the public service—men unbiassed by any considera tion save that of attachment to their King and country. Electors of London, you have not to seek such Re presentatives. Let Lyall, 'Ward, and Wilson be the objects of your choice, and the day on which their return is made will be a day of jubilee to the good and loyal throughout the United Kingdom.—Morn. Post. The voluminous and important list of names which we yesterday published, in connexion with the well timed address to his Majesty, agreed upon at the meet ing of the 23d instant, was sufficient to demonstrate one valuable truth,—namely, that the sense of the people of England is not fairly expressed by those who put themselves most arrogantly forward, and talk most loudly as representatives of the mind of their fel low-citizens. Such a body as that, whose members have just been described, and their names and stations in society recorded through the columns of this jour nal, answers to our notion of what ought to be con sidered par excellence the " people of England." In dustry, intelligence, affluence, the love of order, the dread of multitudinous violence, anxiety for the main tenance of all those diversified rights and powers which the Constitution has established for its own security, and vested in certain hands, and determined to specific uses, and which, by their natural and regular opera tion, propel and control, and charaaterize the march of our constitutional Monarchy,—these are the attri butes of that class of Englishmen who may be justly regarded as forming the essence of the British nation. The address to the Crown, which was approved by these 5,000 or 6,000 representatives of the commercial capital and political creed of London, contained senti ments which could neither be rejected by the Royalist as too democratic, nor by the Liberal as too servile; they were those which any independent Reformer of abuses and Conservator of principles ought to avow, but by which knaves of either party could not fail to be embar rassed. Torrents of foul slander have been poured upon us for having upheld the objects and vindicated the character of that independent meeting: but the virulence has flowed from the same polluted source whence we have been charged since the very outset of these po litical movements with being " renegades"—with being " apostates"—with having abandoned our " declared principles"—with having turned against the " cause of the people." Now it will, we presume, be ad mitted—for these accusations assume it as a fact— that the Times has ere now been the advocate of public liberty—that it has defended the national rights —that it has resisted the inroads of arbitrary power —that it has flung the shield of truth and reason be fore the feeble and oppressed. If our revilers, in their rancour, deny this obvious inference from their own reproaches, we may be excused for touch ing on a few points of modern history, all confined within the term of a twenty years' peace—we ask forgiveness of the thousands whose confidence in us has been strengthened and rivetted by our late pro ' oeedinas ; but there are enemies to be shamed, our friends will, therefore, pardon us this digression. What journal was it that in the year 1816 roused the nation to such a pitch of just hostility towards the oppressed and odious income tax, as forced a corrupt House of Commons to strike it by a single vote out of the Budget, and released Great Britain from a burden of 14,000,0001. sterling per annum ? What was the course of the Times journal in the year 1819, when the Peterloo massacre of our fellow-citizens was vindi cated by the Sidmouths of the day, its authors re warded, and its accusers threatened. with the whole weight of official vengeance, for daring to cry out against the shedders of innocent blood ? If the ser vices of the Times at that dark and disastrous period have been forgotten by those who style themselves the people's friends, they have not been so by the yet surviving enemies of the people. Who was it that by a humane, generous, and intrepid develop ment of its power over the sympathies of a charitable nation, rescued an unhappy and ill used Queen from the gripe of her revengeful and un manly persecutor ? What was our temptation to that discouraging course, what our safeguard against the risk of sharing deeply in the punishment designed for that most unfortunate of women, should our efforts to save her prove abortive, as at first all the world anti cipated ? We had no temptation but our reverence for right—we had no security but the consciousness of our own honour and of our country's justice. The triumph was pure as it was signal, and the death-blow to Royal tyranny will never, at least in England, b e retrieved. Was any portion of the British press before us in our denunciation of the abominable Six Acts ? Who so strenuously or so daringly as the Times fought that virtuous and constitutional battle ? Who, with such stubborn perseverance as this journal, in the teeth of obloquy—in contempt of bigotry—borne up by the spirit of religious freedom alone—when Catholicism was execrated in this island—when Irish Catholicism, albeit, for a long time unleavened with politics, was abhorred—who, we say, stood the onset of public feeling and opinion which then for many years pervaded Great Britain—who, onward, through good report and evil—under circumstances which would have filled all breasts with despair save only those whom the sense of duty animated—all save those whom the conviction of eternal truth inspired, though charged with Popery by our own brethren of the Church of England, though our perennial efforts to lift the Catholics from degradation were spitefully and meanly disparaged by those for whom we struggled—. who,' we repeat, so vigorously, so bravely, so consistently, so successfully as this calumniated journal laboured for more than 14 years, until the toilsome eminence was gained, and equality of civil rights was won for all per suasions of Christians ? This is not a boast, it is but an appeal to history, and an illustration of our own character, to which, by the systematic, foul, and dis graceful, as it is in its nature, the despicable calumny of a grovelling faction, 'we have (perhaps needlessly) been provoked. The foregoing are some among many proofs which might have been adduced had time per mitted, or necessity prompted us, to establish the pub lic spirited and popular habits of the Times newspaper. But the Reform Bill came, and did we then desert the people ? The people will answer for us. It is true we often enough deserted the Whig Ministers when they deserted the principles of the Bill, or when, neg lecting to push forward and accelerate, they might be said to retard its progress. It is true that we spurred, and lashed, and tormented, and enraged the Ministers, and drew down their bitter curses on our heads, and were not once but frequently regarded by them as a fierce enemy, against whom open war ought to be de clared, because we could not coax, nor sooth, nor flatter, nor corruptly defend them, nor vamp up their absurdities, nor palliate their subserviencies, nor screen their weaknesses, npr suffer them to go wrong with im punity. All this was done by someooly nottheirf a wretched s hirelings of the daily press, who are only to principles because they never had any ; while in the unflinching maintenance of the principles with which we set out, and of the policy which we first recommended, no false delicacy, much less individual partiality, OW yet deterred us from rebuking or ex posing " men,' when we conic' thereby advance the " measures" which our view of the public i,lrpjfaTe qe manded, and such has been the pivot of our conduct since the dismissal of the Whigs. We are still true to the " measures" with which we started, and still consider as a subordinate theme the- hands through which we procure them. The Melbourne Cabinet is no more, and to reinstate that precise Administration would be a thing as impossible as to restore the Plan tagenets to the throne. We have never spoken one word in depreciation of that body of gentlemen ; but why our adherence to them, and not to Re form principles, should be made the test of our political integrity, is for others to explain, not for us. Our alarm is at this moment excited more by the menaces of a real, rapid, and desperate movement to wards revolution, than by any dream of an impossible reaction against the redress of grievances or the reform of abuses. Our duty now is more than ever to fight the people's battle—when they know not how to fight it themselves. We will save them from the conse quences of the profligate recklessness or desperate ini quity of those who are endeavouring to mislead them. Often as we have served the people at immense per sonal risk of property and liberty, we will now render them the greatest of all services--we will save them from themselves. We will, God willing, save the country from the curse of a destructive and sanguinary anarchy, into which an impious faction is labouring night and day to plunge it. Our language and actions are governed by this conscientious impression of duty ; and to whatever acrimony or malice in certain quarters we may have been for some short time exposed, there is not a day which does not now afford us satisfactory testimonies of the soundness of our original judgment, by the number as well as the quality of those declara tions of confidence which the very last week—nay, the last twenty-four hours have produced.—Times. TETE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1834. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. TIIE WHIG AND CONSERVATIVE MEETINGS AT TAVERNS IN BISHOPSGATE STREET.—Yesterday Croucher, a very active election agent, well known in t►., city of London, waited upon the Lord Mayor. The po lice, under the immediate direction of the Lord Mayor had, it will be recollected, seized several placard boards, three of which were the property of Mr. Croucher. The fol lowing conversation took place upon the subject : Mr. Croucher—l understand your Lordship has ex pressed your willingness to give up to me my placard boards which your officers seized, and I am now come for them. The Loan MAYOR—You have acted most improperly, Sir, in sending men into Bishopsgate-street with those boards. You have acted offensively against the regulations which I had given to my officers for the protection of, the peace of the city, by stationing your men in such a manner as to create a nuisance. Mr. Croucher—These men were not stationed in Bi shogsgate-street, my Lord. They had been at a conside rabl distance, and were passing through Bishopsgate-street on their way home to dinner, and to be paid, where, seeing that there was a disturbance, they stopped, and were im mediately deprived of their boards by the officers. The LORD MAYOR—Do you think that you were justi fied in causing a riot in the streets ? Mr. Croucher—l have done nothing of the kind. The LORD MAYOR—You have done what might have caused a most serious disturbance by authorising your men to carry those boards through the streets on the day of the meetings. Mr. Croucher—l have done nothing improper, my Lord. I gave no directions to the men to act in violation of the orders of the Magistracy. The LORD MAYOR—They have acted in opposition to the law, and against the orders I issued to the police, and I will not have my authority interfered with by any body. My officers, by my directions, told your men to take away the boards, and they refused to do so. I say, that you have acted most improperly to attempt to justify such conduct. Now, I tell you this, and I trust it will be a warning to you and to others, if you ever dare to come into the city with your men to do anything likely to create a riot on one side or the other, I shall not only have them but I shall have you taken into custody. Mr. Croucher—Those boards were not set up for any purpose of the kind. The LORD ,MAYOR—They were. That was the object, and but for the steady and resolute conduct of my officers in obeying my instructions, the plan would have succeeded. I am very sorry to find, by your present conduct, that you are not come to apolocrise. Mr. Croucher—l have done no wrong, and I see not the slightest necessity for apologising. I wish to know what is your Lordship's intention, whether you will or will not return me my boards, which your ()Veers took from my men ? My men were not in Bishopsgate-street for the pur pose of exhibiting placards. _ _ The LORD MAYOR—YOU state what is not the fact. No placard was taken from those who consented to remove them ; but your men refused, and were, as a matter of course, deprived of them. They would not stir upon being desired to go, for the preservation of the peace. Mr. Croucher—My Lord Mayor— The LORD MAYOR—I shall not argue with you. It is plain that you have violated the law. My officers can cer tify to the instructions under which they acted. Marshal Brown—We did not in the slightest degree in terfere with those who consented to take away their boards, and we took the boards from those who refused ; but we allowed the men to go about their business. We took none into custody. The LORD MAYOR (to Mr. Croucher)-Are you not ashamed to come here with such a story ? Mr. Croucher —The men were not stationed there, I repeat. They were coming home to dinner. Marshal brown—Nothing of the kind was said at all. They refused to move away, and then we took their boards. The Loan MAYoa—They were there to cause a riot. Mr. Croucher—They were not. The LORD MAvoa—lf you conduct yourself in so in solent a manner I shall have you taken into custody. If you repeat those insolent coutradictions to the Chief Ma gistrate, I shall certainly order you into custody at once. Mr. Croucher—My Lord, I entertain a proper respect for that Chair, but I have done nothing of which I can ac cuse myself. The LORD MAYOR—YOU have acted with great impro priety, and you may go about your business ; and mind this, if you and your men come into the city with your pla cards again, I shall have you and them taken into custody. I am candid with you. Mr. Croucher—l shall be conducting the election just at hand in the city, my Lord, and I must then use placards. I trust your orders will not extend to the election. The LORD MAYOR—Your men should have taken away your boards when they were ordered. Mr. Croucher—Am I to understand that you refuse to give up the boards, my Lord? The LORD MAYOR—You don't deserve them. You treat the Chief Magistrate with disrespect. Mr. Croucher—l do not treat the Chair with disrespect, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—You must apologize for your con luct, Sir. Mr. Croucher—l have done nothing, my Lord, for which ought to apologize. . - The Loan MAYOR—Then you shan't have your boards. You may go about your business. Mr. Croucher then informed his Lordship that he should seek a remedy in another place, and left the Justice-roont. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Isaac Russel, aged 24, and Ma ry Russel, his wife, were brought before Mr. LAING for re-examination, charged with coining.—They were fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Dennis Donovan, who has been in custody for the last week on a charge of having nearly cut off the left Land of Owen Sullivan, a countryman of his, with a bill hook or chopper, was brought before Mr. WALKER and Mr. HARDWICK for final examination. A certificate from one of the surgeons of the London Hospital was handed to the Bench, in which it was stated that the life of the com plainant was out of all danger. The parties it appears live in the same house, and on Saturday night the prisoner, while in a state of intoxica tion, entered the room of the complainant and commenced abusing him. The complainant forced him into the pas sage, and in order to get rid of his abuse went to the house of a neighbour for some time, and remained there until he thought 'he had gone up stairs to his own apartment. On his return, however, he found the wife of the prisoner still in the passage, who on seeing him recommenced her abuse, and obstructed his entrance into his own room. In endea vouring to remove her be placed his hand on the door-post, when the prisoner, whom he had not seen before after he returned to the house, jumped forward and made a despe rate cut at his hand with a chopper, and cut it throd parts off about midway between the knuckles and the wrist. He would have cut it clean off had it not been for the tugged and uneven surface of the door-post upon - which it was placed at the time. In reply to the questions of the Ma gistrates, he said that it was the opinion of the surgeon un (l._r whose care he had been during the weak, that he would lose the use of two fingers, if not three. The prisoner, as on the former occasion when examined, said that the whole was owing to his being intoxicated at the time. Mr. WALKER said he had a great mind to commit him for trial for the capital offence ; for during his experience he did not recollect a more atrocious assault than that of which he had been guilty. In disposing of the case sum maxiiy would inflict the highest punishmnnt on him which the law would permit, namely, that he pay .5/., or in default stand committed to the House of Correction for two months. UNION-HALL. Yesterday James Frederick Smith, one of the performers at Covent-Garden theatre, attended to answer a charge of assault preferred against him by William Johns, landlord of the Pheasant at Standgate. The complainant staled that he preferred a bill of in dictment against the, defendant for a violent assault which confined him to his bed for three weeks. The defendant not having appeared to answer the charge at the Sessions, the complainant, accompanied by Creasy, an officer of this establishment, went to the neighbourhood of Covent- Garden on Saturday eveninc , for the purpose of serving a warrant against him. At the time they entered the house where the defendant was waiting previously to going into the theatre, he was surrounded by several of his theatrical friends, and when the warrant was exhibited he snatched it out of the officer's hands and tore it up, exclaiming that he paid no attention to such documents. On being told that he must then consider himself to be in custody he declared that he should go on the stage and enact his part first. This, however, was not granted, and he became so obstre porous in his conduct that it was at length found necessary to handcuff him. When the handcuffs were on he again struck the complainant a violent blow on the face with one of them, and the resistance he made throughout was de scribed to have been of that nature to require the harsh mode which was adopted in order to secure him. The de fendant also attempted to strike the officer with the hand cuffs, and would have effected his intention bad he not stooped and got out of his way at the time. Mr. WEDGWOOD said that it was an aggravated case of assault, and asked the defendant what he had to say in an swer to the charge ? The defendant said that he was excited at the moment the affair happened. The fact was he had just entered into an engagement at Covent-garden theatre. This was 11 known to the complainant, whose objest in serving a arrant on him on Saturday night was to have him locked and prevent him from fulfilling his engagement at the are that night. The defendant added that the com- :;ant succeeded_ in his object, as he had forfeited his ation in consequence of being taken away from the itre. The defendant did not deny the assault on the complainant, but said that he only attempted to strike the officer out of fun, as he thought at the time that he was only a sham officer, and that he had come to serve an arrest upon him out of a joke, as such jokes were of no uncommon occurrence. The MAGISTRATE held the defendant to bail to answer the charge at the sessions, and he was adjudged to give twenty-four hour's notice. Eliza Brand, the wife of a private in the Coldstream Guards, made application to the Magistrates under the fol lowing circumstances : The applicant, who appeared to be half starved, stated that her husbaand was compelled to enlist owing to his be ing unable to obtain employment in the country as a la bourer, and having a wife and three children. When her husband became a soldier, the parish allowed her 4s. 6d. a week for herself and children, and he went and joined his regiment. With this pittance she contrived to live, al though with great difficulty, and her husband, knowing the dreadful state of poverty in which she and the children were at Battisham in Cambridgeshire, wrote to them to come up to town, and share with him what he had to receive as a private in the Guards. Upon receipt of this letter the ap plicant showed it to the parish officers, who advised her to join her husband, and they procured her and her three chil dren a conveyance from Battisham to town in a waggon, and charged her 12s. for the journey. She had been in London for the last five weeks, and was solely dependent upon her husband, who could only allow her four shillings a a week out of his pay to support herself and three children, three shillings a week out of which sum she was compelled to pay for their lodgings. She added that she and her chil dren were starving in London, and that her husband was not in a much better state, owing to what he gave them our of his pay as a soldier. Bad as she was doing in the coun try, she should be glad to get back again, for she saw no prospect but that of absolute starvation if she stopped here much longer. Mr. WEDGWOOD seeing the poor creature was a real ob ject of commiseration, gave her some temporary relief, and desired her to apply to the officers of the parish where she her children slept, and they would not hesitate, he was con vinecd, to pass her back again to Cambridgeshire. CAUTION AGAINST SWINDLERS. Yesterday morning Roe, the Guildhall officer, succeeded in obtaining the re-delivery of about 5001. worth of woollen goods from a gang of swindlers who have just taken a very large warehouse in the neighbourhood of the Mansion house. The circumstances of the sale and delivery of the goods by the cloth-factors at Leeds precluded the probabi lity of making the swindlers amenable in a criminal Court, and it was by working on their apprehensions of being dis covered that Roe induced them to give up their prey. The swindlers had detached two of their partners to Leeds to make purchases, and it happened that a letter sent down to one of them, who was staying at an hotel, fell into the hands of a person of the same name who was putting up at the same place, and who had transmitted it to one of the parties who had been tricked out of their goods. The letter is worth transcribing : " Dear I was very anxious for your letter, which I received this morning, and the rather as I received none yesterday, which augured badly. Your letter I considered as disastrous as could be, inasmuch as it did not say that the 1,0001. you had selected,at Gibson's would be sent, omitted all mention of —'s brother, informed me you had expended MU. worth of powder in shooting at " birds in a bush," and, finally, I had received no letter by this post from the house you referred to me. Judge further of my consternation ovhen in the afternoon Llewellyn's clerk—the Llewellyn— came up and said he was directed by their house, required by Potter and somebody, to make inquiries into the respec tability of Mr. —, who had referred the said Potters to me. There was a Scylla and a Charybdis to steer be twixt ! On the one hand to say what was necessary, and on the other to say nothing to commit myself. If I erred, it was by sailing too close to the rocks of Scylla by saying too much ; but I hope subsequent precaution will repair the damage, and preserve our keel unbroken. They had no idea it was the Mr. --, the real pig. It was not for me to inform them that it was the same, only in a new character. It was therefore well that you did not settle with them ; and you see in this another instance of the ad vantage of procrastination—my doctrine. If you had at tempted to make the donkey speak you would have been swamped at once, and been blown directly. I have 2001. by me, and shall have 50/. more on Monday night, and will pay 250/. into Lloyd's on that day ; but I shall give no orders respecting it to them. Trust not to making 1,000/. a year. 'Tis fallacious. Llewellins will know you when they see you ; and though they are paid by you, they will set themselves right with the Potteries. Deacon has been here bothering, but I gave him his quietus. Buy all you can ; don't trust to second journeys, and don't burn this letter. I must see it destroyed when I return." The original concludes without any signature ; but it happily fell into the hands of a person who was acquainted with the writing of the inditer. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. The following appeared in only a part of our impression of yesterday : LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—A meeting of the Re formers of Liverpool was held this day at the Clarendon Arms, to receive the report of the deputation which had been deputed to pro ceed to London for the purpose of making arrangements to bring forward another candidate in conjunction with Mr. Ewart, at the approaching election. The meeting embraced most of the leading men who have supported liberal politics in the borough for many years past. L. Heyworth, Esq., was called to the Chair, and called upon Mr. Rushton, one of the deputation, to explain to the meeting the result of his exertions and those of his colleagues. Mr. Rushton entered into a detailed and elaborate account of the mis sion on which his colleagues and himself had been dispatched. He said in substance, that the deputation found, on arriving in London, that all the public men of standing, to whose previous career the electors of Liverpool could refer with safety as a guarnntee of their future conduct, had been engaged by liberal constituencies at the present eventful moment ; and they found, singular enough, that there was a greater pauc;ty of candidates of tried integrity and cha racter than of constituencies. They had entered into a correspon dence Composed of all the leading reformers , e of recommending sound men to the va ohnsroughout the kingdom. Thus circum stanced, they had well nigh despaired of carrying the object of their th ral mission into effect, when the gentleman who acted as Chairman to r th io e u r s er i w b r e ga i i a z e c o b i d f etyirtiutnheeni constituencies throughout the body which he had mentioned, recollected, and after some hesi tation they fixed upon James Morris Esq., one of the Directors of the Bank of England , a gentleman Of acknowledged talent, and of the most liberal and enlightened politics. A communication was opened with that gentleman, which terminated in an expression of readiness on his part to be brought forward as a candidate, which he declared would be the highest honour to which his ambition could as ire. Mr. Morris would, h e expec t e d , b e i n Li verpoo l on Tues day next, and would then have an opportunity of explaining to the electors the grounds on which he came forward. The address of Mr. Morris to the electors of Liverpool was then read to the meeting, and most favourably received; the passage— " I am the friend , in the most extensi v e sens e , of Civil an d Reli gbelieve in the sincerity (Amen prnfes:.ing liberal opinions, who ha ve a ll t h e i r li ves b een oppose d to reform, and who have invariably resisted improvement "—was received with the most unbounded enthusiasm. At the words, " d e t erm i ne d op t of the present Administration," the cheer s we re con ti nue d ostrsatiloinbe,lbecause I don't am th e d eterm i ned opponent of the present Mini niiu ponen for a great length of time. Every hand was instantly held up in favonr of the nelv ear44TP, follwed by thvP9 hearty phepra fp r Mr, Merris, and three 'fqr Evart, Mr. RUSHTON then urged on the meeting the absolute and im yuntiroin, exertion, and strength, without which umpli.

Lloyd Williams, of this town, has annot.Teecl himself as a candidate for the representation of Banbury. Jr. ..,.....: Lloyd Williams offers himself as a Reformer, in opposition to the present excellent Reform Member for Banbury, Mr. Tancred.— Birrningham Journal. Bosxox.—This borough will return the present excellent repre sentatives. A gentleman of the name of Brownrigg, a confirmed Tory, has come forward, but his failure is undoubted. DUBLIN CITY.-Mr. Sidney Herbert and his long purse and Mr. West, will, it is said, be presented to the constituency of this city against the sitting members. DROGHEDA BOROUGH.-Mr. Holyoke Goodrick, the heir of Sir Harry, it is reported, will offer himself to the electors of Drog heda, against the sitting Member. EXETER, DEC. 27.—The canvas for Exeter has been conducted with more spirit, in every sense of the word, both temperate and intemperate, than any that we have had for many years past. The advancement of Mr. Follett to the Solicitor-Generalship, together with the title which it has delighted the King to honour him with, have brought him out with effective eclat. Sir William avows him self a supporter of the present Goverment " upon principle ;" but what principle is not clearly understood, beyond that of thorough going Toryism. Mr. Divett, the decidedly liberal Member, is se cure. Mr. Buller, our other representative, has experienced a considerable falling off in support, and I believe such is the general belief in the city. The Tories are wholly wrapt up in Sir W. Follett, and the Liberals cannot afford to risk the security of Mr. Buller. With regard to the great question of Reformers or Tories, Devon, on the whole, will do its duty. Thus we stand in Devon —four Tories, and twelve Liberals. Tiverton will re tu rn th e :t wo sitting Members, Messrs. Heathcote and Kennedy--both decided Liberals, and one Radical. Mr. Kennedy is opposed by Colonel Chichester, a Liberal, and if he should succeed, which is not likely, it will not affect the Duke's opposition. FRoME.—Sir Courtenay Boyle is, and has always been, a steady Reformer. In his address to the electors he was supposed by the Dissenters to be rather ambiguous as to his intentions in regard to that body • but he has since fully explained hi s p r i nc ipl es , w hi c h are entirely satisfactorily, and in his canvas, he now receives the active support of the Dissenters of Frome. We understand, how ever, that the return of Mr. Brydges, the other Liberal candidate, is next to certain. GREENWICH.-At the moment of going to press, we received an express from town with an address to the electors of this borough from Sir John Scott Lillie, offering himself, on reform principles, as a candidate for its representation.— Greenwich Gaz. GRANTHAIVI seems to be quiet. GRIMSBY will be contested. LONDON, CITY.—UNION REFORM COMMITTEE.---The citizens have commenced enrolling themselves as a committee, for the pur pose of returning four staunch Reformers to represent them in Parliament. James Pattison, Esq., the Governor of the Bank of England, at the request of a numerous and highly respectable de putation, has consented to be put in nomination for the City. Already the committee has recorded nearly seven hundred of the most active electors. RIPON ASSEMBLY.—The Christmas ball at Ri pon, under the patronage of the neighbouring Nobility and Gentry, was held in the large Assembly Room, Town Hall, Ripon, on Friday, the 19th inst. The company began to ar rive soon after nine o'clock, and the carriages continued to set down till past ten. The ball was opened by Sir Bellingham Graham and Lady Mary Vyner. Tea and refreshments were prepared in the card-room, and the company retired by groups when they pleased. There has seldom been a better attend ance, or so many high families ; and the elegant dresses of the ladies gave a brilliancy and splendour to the room which elicited the admiration of all present. The following distin guished persons were present :—Sir Bellingham and Lady Graham, General Sir Charles and Miss Dalbiac ; T. K. Staveley, Esq., M. P., and Lady ; Colonel and Mrs. Towers, Sir Henry and Lady Vavasour, Colonel and Mrs. Markham, Joshua Crompton, Esq., M.P. ' and Lady; Captain and Lady Mary Vyner, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Monson, Sir Thomas and Lady Gooch. The following families :—Daltons, Lawson, Oxley, Thompson, Brooke, Wood, Wormald, Hill, Beaumont, Worsley, Pearse, Towers, &c. The assembly did not break up till a late hour, and the list of haut ton given above shows that the Christmas balls at Ripon are welcome to the resident families in the town and neighbourhood. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ROBERT TRAVERS, K. C. B.—Deeply and sincerely do we regret to an nounce the death of this gallant and distinguished officer. This melancholy event, which took place at Mardyke House, about three o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) was occasioned by an accident which occurred to him on Saturday. He was riding up Patrick-street about eleven o'clock, when the trum pets carried by the men belonging to Wombwell's menagerie having been suddenly sounded, his horse started, and Sir Ro bert was thrown. He fell unfortunately on his head, and with such violence, we regret to say, as to produce injury of the most serious description. He was immediately taken up, and carried into the shop of Mr. Teulon, and after he had in some degree recovered he was conveyed home, where he lin gered till yesterday. Sir Robert's urbanity, kindness, and generosity of character had obtained for him the esteem arid the affection of all with whom either the duties of his profes sion or the courtesies of society brought him into contact. As a soldier his name stood high on the roll of military achieve ment. and the distinctions with which he was :honoured were the reward of long and laborious service in the cause of his country and his King.—Cork Southern Reporter of Thursday. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR-GENERAL STIRLING.—On Thursday, at two o'clock, the remains of this gallant veteran were committed to the grave, in Inve resk churchyard. The coffin was borne by soldiers of the 42d regiment, in full uniform, and was followed by between sixty and seventy old sergeants, corporals, and privates of the same corps, all of whom had, on by-gone days, stood by his side on the field of battle, and who:seemed deeply impressed with the mournful occasion which had called them, yet once more, together. Over the coffin was laid the sword which the General had worn during the first American war —in the West Indies—at the Walcheren expedition—while covering the re-embarkation at Corunna—and with which he, with his own hand, captured the Invincible standard at the battle of Alexandria. Among the officers who followed his remains we observed, the Earl of Caithness, Sir David Milne, Colonels Campbell, Aitchison, Spens, and Wedder burn, Majors Yule, Dudgeon, and Hope, Captains Orr, Chisholm, Mackenzie, Scott, Young, &c. &c. So endeared had General Stirling become to the inhabitants of Mussel burgh, by the general excellence of his character, that, on the day following his death, a request was made by the prin cipal gentlemen in the neighbourhood, that a crest should be executed by Mr. Ritchie, the sculptor, to be placed in the Town Hall. By the death of General Stirling, the Deputy-Governorship of Cork becomes vacant. Few men have deserved better of his country than he whe is now no more.—Scottish Paper. In consequence of the death of the late James Thwaytes, Esq., of Fenchurch-street, two highly respectable families of Thwaytes and Dobson, yeomen in the county of Westmoreland, become possessed of a sum of money little shOrt of one hundred and thirty thousand pounds in legacies and freehold property. Mr. Clark, poulterer, of Boston, sent up to London for the Christmas market, the enormous quantity of 22 tons six cwt. of geese and turkeys ! Within the last few weeks Mr. C. has sent to the metropolis 13,000 geese and 2,000 turkeys. —Stamford Mercury. DORKING, DEC. 27.—Our annual ball took place last night, and, as usual, was attended by all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood. The ball-room was taste fully fitted up, and brilliantly illuminated. The company began to assemble at half-past ten, and soon after dancing commenced to Weippert's band, with the Lothian Quadrilles, followed by the Court Waltzes. The supper was announced at one o'clock. It consisted of every luxury that could be procured. Such were the delights of the evening, that not a carriage was ordered until four o'clock. We are looking forward with great pleasure to our grand Archery Ball, which takes place on Friday, Jan. 2. DREADFUL CASE OF SUICIDE BY A WIFE.— Saturday afternoon a young married female, named Jane Halley, aged 30, died at Westminster Hospital of the injuries she had inflicted on herself, in her room, at No. 12, Greit Peter-street, Westminster. Her husband, a mechanic, to whom she was greatly attached, after a violent quarrel on Tuesday, deserted her, and not returning on the succeeding days she continued immersed iu the most poignant grief. The landlord and his wife endeavoured to soothe her, but in vain ; and on Friday evening the latter, when entering the roo m f o r the same friendly purpose, was horror-struck at the sight of the unfortunate woman lying over the bed, with her throat frightfully cut. She had divided the windpipe with a table knife, so that it was impossiele to recover her, and she lingered till Saturday in the most distressing agony. INQUEST ON A LUNATIC AT HANWELL IN MIDDLESEX.—On Saturday morning an inquest was held at the Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Hanwell, in Middle!ex, before Mr. Stirling, coroner, on view of the body of Thos. Wheats, aged 36, an unfortunate maniac confined in the said institution, and whose death was supposed to have boon caused by one of the other patients placing a straw paliasse on him whilst in a fit.—John Elliot, one of the keepers of the asylum, deposed that the deceased was a patient confined there, and was an in mate of No. 7 ward. On Thursday night last, at the usual hour of eight o'clock, witness locked the deceased and others in their bed cells. On the following morning, on opening the door of the cell, he discovered the deceased lying on his iron bedstead, apparently quite dead, and another unfortunate being who was unconscious of his miserable companion being dead, holding the palliasse over him. Witness removed the palliasse, and then run for Mr. Quick, the surgeon. It appeared that his death was occasioned by a fit of epilepsy, having been sub ject to fits. Verdict, died by the visitation of God. ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF JEWELS. —On Friday evening last the following extensive robbery, which like many others lately committed at the west end of the town, abounds in mystery, was perpetrated at the residence of Francis Richardson, Esq., No. 6, P ortland-place, next door to the mansion of her Grace the Duchess of Richmond. It appears that about five o'clock on the above named evening a small box, containing jewels to the amount of between two and three hundred pounds, and which had only a shot t period - before been brought from a banking house, where it h a d b een deposited for security, was placed by Miss Richardson in a drawer in her dressing-room, which ( t roy " s h e locked as usual, and proceeded to anoth er room to j dinner. At nine o'cl,ecc the lad 's maid oin theentered fam ly at theaipart meta, and was astounded at tho discovery that the jewels in question were gone from the drawer, which had been broken open. She immediately made known the eircumstaneseto Miss Richardson, when it was judged ex p e di en t t o send to the station-house in Mary -le-bone-lane for the assistance of the police, w l l9 Cluiel4y strived, and; a ft er an exam i nat i on of the p r miies, gate it as their decided opinion that the robbery Must ha v e been committed Ily 0 11 P Ivl,o was well acau.;.- • with. th e Pr e Pli§e§, The be`xe6 belonging -0 sue various do 117vtiaoiluawb'eile'e 6.stb.r.quently sui t:v.:tea to a i'earch, but none of could be found ; and it is now supposed that the thief, by sonic means or other, entered the hall-door, making 11i4 way up stairs, and secreted himself in some part of OP recall until .a f avourable opportunity was afforded him of Prrying offthe booty.
