SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. In a masterly article which appeared in the Times of December 14, 1833, defending the Chancellor from the attacks of certain writers in journals now patronized by the redacteur, and who are described as writing " under the influence of the scourge administered by the practised hand of a veteran whipper-in," the re sult is thus powerfully summed up :—" The result is what might be expected from such a quartette—impo tent rage and powerless slander, covering their wretched utterers with scorn and contempt ; while he whom they assail,stifc in the pre-eminent excellence of his cha racter, and in that universal esteem which always fol lows genuine merit, looks down with compassion, not unmixed with derision, on their petty plots and bust ling, bobadilism." Substituting " surprise " for sg derision," similar, we should suppose, are the feel ings of Lord Brougham at the impotent attempts of the trio, or quartette, assembled in Printing-house square ; but, we cannot believe that the redacteur en chsf" can either be the writer, or that he is a willing, consenting party to these ebullitions. He is acute enough to know that the attack will prove, as their assailment of the Poor Laws Bills did, a total failure; and will no longer suffer the injudicious and vexatious control of others. " Where is your boar-spear, man ? Fear you the boar* ?" Already throughout the coun try—" from east to west, from north to south"—the preys is re-echoing the opinion of the people at large, and paying tribute to the distinguished character— whether political, legal, or scientific," or literary—of Lord Chancellor Brougham. It is no design of ours, says one, to enter into defence of the Noble Lord, be cause he requires none ; but, for curiosity's sake, we will just inquire into some of the grounds on which the charges against him are _founded. He is accused of having betrayed Earl Grey—desig nated as a hollow lawyer, seeking profit by de teit,—servile and arrogant,—blown about by every suggestion of selfishness,' &c. But where are the proofs Has any complaint been made by Lord Grey ? 'On the contrary, Lord Grey declared him self, in his place, that he resigned because he was anxious to retire from public life. He threw no blame on a single individual ; and, even the indiscretion of Mr. Littleton he attributed to good motives. As to being a , hollow lawyer, we do not hear that a single judgment pronounced by Lord Brougham has been called in question and appealed against, and he has pronounced more than any other Chancellor has done in the same space of time. As to his personal aggrandisement, "he cannot rise higher than he is in the scale of promotion." Even the Times ad mits that for fifteen years he disting uished himself as the friend o f t h e peop l e. In what has he now deserted them ? The Ministry of which he is a member is more unequivocally „reforming than any that has hitherto had the management of the af fairs of the country. He has given notice of very great reforms, both in the Law and Church. He has established a Society in London for the promotion of Political Knowledge (pine dice lachrymee)—dimi nished his own salary as Chancellor—lessened the patronage attached to his office. The patronage he has bestowed on favourites is yet behind the curtain, as are his intentions of personal aggrandisement. But the leading journal is in the secret, and, doubtless, will justify itself at a proper season. Such and simi lar are the observations of every liberal journal through out the country. With the exception of the Albion, the Standard, and a few other Conservative jonrnals, now patronized by the Times, all accord in paying the just tribtile to one who has been for a quarter of a century the powerful and successful advocate for the 'abolition of slavery, the extension of education, the freedom of the press, legal and parliamentary re form, and the removal of the various abuses in Church and State. We cannot conclude this article without calling the attention of our readers to the insidious but abortive attempts, in the Conservative journals and other coadjutors of the Times, to prove that the Lord Chancellor had, in the bestowal of the vicarage of " Otley," endeavoured to evade the promise he had made to the bishops. However we may regret that the Chancellor should have committed himself, in ad ding to the patronage of those who, it is generally admitted, never bestow their preferments without a due regard to nepotism; yet, having so committed him self, we leave the refutation of the charge to his quon dam—and we believe still (politically at any rate) —friend . and admirer in Printing-house-square.— Times, Feb. 27, 1833 :—" In the House of Lords last night, the Lord Chancellor, replying to the Observations that fell from Lord King, took occa. Mon to explain the grounds on which he had solicited assistance from the Right Rev. Bench in the disposal of certain church patronage attached to the Great Seal. Lord B. said, That though it was easy for the Chancellor, in consequence of the number of appli cations, to name proper incumbents for livings of 200/., 3001., or 4001. per annum and upwards, yet with re. gard to livings of 301., 401., 501., and 601. per annum (and many such are in the gift or possession of the Great Seal), the case is very different. As these are not sought after like the preferments of greater value, the Chancellor must, therefore, either himself seek out persons to be entrusted with the cures (which is obvi ously impossible for one so occupied), or he must rely on the recommendation of others, and this Lord Brougham had done, choosing to take that of the Diocesan as the most trustworthy recommendation.' It is needless for us to add, that ' Otley' did not come within the second list and description, and that Lord B. was, therefore, justified when, in answer to the appli cation of a nominee of the Bishop of York, he said, that his promise to the bishops was conditional.' " Morning Chronicle. . In another column will be found a letter, addressed by Mr. Fraser, the publisher and, we believe, the pro prietor of Fraser's Magazine, to the Editor of this Paper, introductory of a letter to Mr. Duncombe, the Member for Finsbury, in reference to a hostile mes sage, which formed the subject of a proceeding at the Marlborough-street Police-office, on Thursday. Both letteie should have appeared in our paper of yesterday bad they not been accidentally overlooked. The sub ject itself—that is, the dispute between those two gen tlemen and the manner in which it has been conducted by both parties—is a matter of some importance ; in deed, we may say, of much importance to society, in consequence of the principles which it involves. To state the case in a sentence. Mr. Duncornbe's private character was assailed in Fraser's Magazine. Mr. Duncombe sent a message to the publisher demanding the name of his assailant, or the satisfaction which, ac cording to the laws of honour, one gentleman has a right to expect from another. The name was refused, and the satisfaction was refused, and Mr. Duncombe was bound over to keep the peace. Now, upon one part of the question, we apprehend, there can be no difference of opinion. The attack upon Mr. Duncombe's private character was wrong. It was wrong, if for no other reason, for its tendency to lead to a breach of the peace. But it was wrong also for higher considera tions, which it is unnecessary here to particularise. No one will, we believe, contend for the justification of a public writer, who thinks the traducing of private character one of the legitimate means of annoying a Tolitical antagonist, or w h o acts as if h e th oug h t so. hen comes the question in which society is most deeply interested. Is the alternative put by Mr. Dun combe, is the redress which h e c l a i ms on being refused the name of his assailant, a mode of redress which ought to be countenanced or t o l erate d? H e h a d a r i g ht to demand the name of the person who attacked • Vido Hastings—Richard 111. —to " Stanley." f These are the statements of The Hull Rockingham, an d how-well they are borne out b y the " leadi ng Journal : TIMES, DEC. 27, 1833.—" Lord 8., when he h a d th e sea l s , found 103 appeals ; of those many had been set down two years and a half, from Jan. 31 to Dec 23. He decided two hundred--and in a corresponding period one hundred an d t h ree . Some of our readers, seeing the nature of t h e attacks on Lord 8., may feel surprised that any defence should have been made. Had these consisted merely of some two or three false asser tionsor misrepresentations, we should have let them pass ; but when fifteen out of thirty-one pages of the leading article of the Ultra -Tories' journal contains, in every tenth line, some assertion which is untrue, or some insinuation which nothing but a reference to facts could show to be groundless, we own we felt it due to Lord 8., nay, indeed, to ourselves who have on all occasions testified our respect for his high talents and the beneficial effects of the great changes he is working out to ex pose tke sort of warfare to w hi c h Ai s un fli nc hi ng d eterm i na tion to reforx the 4 laws, and abate all sinecures and corrnpti.on, ervos,;.; A:.nt" !! Who would believe that thesa are tow the al'es of The Thies? him in a manner not authorised by the laws of politi cal warfare ; he had a right to proceed legally against that person, if he could obtain his name ; and in the event of being refused such satisfaction, he had a right to proceed against the publisher that is, against the publication itself in which the attack was made upon his reputation. But we deny his right, and any and every man's right, be his rank, his station, his profession, or his injuries what they may, to appeal to that bar barous, un-Christian-truth-confounding, and blood seeking tribunal which professes to adjust the difficulties and decide the merits of a case by the ar bitration of what ?—of murder ! Good God! do we live in a Christian country and in an age of intellect —an age which makes no secret of its own superio rity, which looks back upon all past time as the re pository of a mass of errors above which the reason and the virtue of the present age lifts it as the eagle outflies the storm ? and shall we retain amongst our customs and our fashions this most barbarous and bru tal of all the barbarous and brutal relics of antiquity ? It is the duty of a public journalist, and of every man who has a common share of brains in his head, and of flesh and blood in the heart that informs his bosom, to raise his voice against the judgment and discretion of murder as an arbitrator between man and man. Mr. Fraser was not only justified in declining, but bound to decline and deny the jurisdiction of the pistol ; but we lament to find that in doing so he abandoned the high moral ground upon which he might have fixed his foot as upon a lock, and descended to such an apology as his letter contains. According to thatletter it was not because duelling was an irrational, a brutal and conse quently an unjustifiable mode of deciding differences, or avenging wrongs, but because, in his particular situation, to admit the appeal would expose him to frequent invitations of the same nature. - HA he re mained upon the ground which he ought to have occu pid, no man could say that he had done wrong. But in removing from that ground he has abandoned his strong position, he has kicked away his defence ; and the question between him and his antagonist becomes a question not for society to judge of upon the broad consideration of what is right and wrong in morals, but for the learned in the laws of duelling to adjudi cate upon tactics, and according to a wisdom of their own. We regret exceedingly that a respectable publi cation, such as Frazer's Magazine, and a respectable person, such as Mr. Fraser, should have been so com mitted. Nor can we justify Mr. Duncombe in the course he has thought proper to pursue. The law was open to him if he was injured. However imperfect that law might be as a means of satisfying his wounded feelings, and repairing his injured character, it was still superior to the alternative which he was rash enough to prefer. He might have vindicated himself in Court of Justice. He might have punished his accuser in a Court of Justice, not merely by imprisonment or pecuniary fine, but by the shame and disgrace of a verdict of guilty. On the other hand a hostile meeting, terminate how it might, could never have justified—could only have avenged him. Whether he was misled by bad advisers from without, or by the suggestion of his own . angry pas sions from within, he took the worst possible course for an innocent man to have taken. We do not mean to insinuate any thing to the disadvantage of his character in saying so ; but we do mean to imply every thing to the disadvantage of his prudence and discretion. Society, as we said before, is interested in puttinc , down the barbarous practice which he would fain continue and sanction by his example. Every man is responsible to society for his acts, but public men incur, and voluntarily incur, a peculiar responsi bility. It will not serve Mr. Duncombe with the country—it will not serve him with his constituents to have proved himself willing and anxious to violate the laws by resorting to a practice which has no justifica tion in reason, and no apology even in the weaknesses that belong to humanity.—Morning Herald. Mr. Editor—As it is probablitat you will publish the pro ceedings at Marlborough-street, in which my name yesterday appeared, may I request that you will be so good as to accom pany your report with the letter which I have addressed toMr. Duncombe ? I have the honour to be, Sir, with much re spect, your obedient servant, JAMES FRASER. (copy.) " 215, Regent-street, Thursday, 2 o'clock, p.m. " Sir--I am inclined to think that you will, upon reflection, perceive that the course which I felt it necessary to adopt, in consequence of your note of yesterday, was the only one which, as publisher of the Magazine, I could have possibly pursued. You will at once see that if I were to have replied to your note after the fashion you desired, I should have set a precedent which would of necessity subject me hereafter to per sonal annoyance from everybody, high and low, who might fancy himself injured or offended in the publication. " Having submitted these remarks to your consideration, I have to inform you that the pages of the magazine shall be open to you next month for the explanation or denial of those charges which you have stated to be false and atrocious.'

Our columns of this day present a cheering and heart-stirring proof of the existence of strong constitu tional feelings in the most important manufacturing district of the United Kingdom. The report of the annual Meeting of the South Lancashire Conservative Association at Newton will he perused by our readers with proud satisfaction, and we indulge in no ordinary sensations of delight and triumph to find that the ex pectation that had been formed of the manner with which this truly national festival would be received by our brethren of the North has been more than realized. The assemblage was as enthusiastic as .it was numerous, and was distinguished by its respecta bility, wealth, and intelligence. Every individual was actuated by the conviction, that at no period was it ever more imperative than at the present moment to evince the most unflinching determination to uphold the principles which have contributed to raise our country to the first position in the rank of nations. The eloquent speech of Lord Wilton, who .pre sided on this occasion, produced a great impression ; and the outline which is supplied elsewhere will not be without its effect on those persons who were not pre sent to hear the patriotic sentiments which fell from the lips of-the staunch defender of our institutions ; his touching language when alluding to what England once was, and his withering scorn when referring to the men who have endeavoured to reduce-the country to the lowest depth of degradation. The addresses of Lord Skelmersdale, Mr. S. Roby, and Mr. Hulton were also replete with sound reasoning and impassioned feeling, and will amply repay the trouble of perusal. Altogether the affair went off with a spirit worthy of the cause which the guests met to support, and, as a sign of the times, the Newton dinner will be of consi derable influence. The miserable men who can see nothing in " the spirit of the age" but the desire of in novation, and the anxiety to overturn venerable institu tions, would do well to pause and reflect seriously whether the large masses of people of property who have of late sought every opportunity of testifying their opinions will sit down quietly, and tamely submit to the insi dious attempts in progress to annihilate the Constitu tion. In the emphatic words of the Earl of Wilton, it is, indeed, a melancholy conviction which forces itself on the mind that " England—the brave and free En gland—the grave of the warrior, the delight of the Statesman and the philosopher, whose flag has braved a thousand years the battle and the beeeze ;' it is in deed a bitter thought that that England should be sa crificed by such means and by such men." We de rive, however, every consolation from the fact that there are still thousands of such men left in the country as those who assembled at the- Newton Meeting, made of the same stern stuff in honesty, of similar Inflexi bility of purpose, and endowed with all the faculties of mind as well as the physical qualifications necessary to fight the battles of loyalty against acritation.—Monung Post. A few days since we invited the attention of our readers to a document we published bearing the title " Statement of the Master Builders." We gave a sort of promise to, return to the subject, and - We redeem our pledge now with the less reluctance, because we have the consciousness that, uninfluenced by interest, whether personal or adventitioup, we cannot possibly be actuated by aught but a sincere desire to promote an end, of which the good, if any, must be common and cpial to both parties, and in which there can be nothing of ill to either. The document in question ;ntors intc a detailed history of the, dispute:s between the master builders and their worlanen. We shall dwell upon this paper no further than to say that it makes out a very strong case against the workmen : and that the masters, thwarted and inconvenienced at every turn by an assemblage of their workmen, called an " Union," felt themselves compelled, in self-de fence, to combine together, and at a public meeting to pass, among other resolutions, the following :—" That this meeting strongly recommends every master in terested in this question publicly and solemnly to de clare that from and after the 16th day of August next, he will not employ any artisan or labourer who refuses to join a declaration that he is not a member of any trades' union." The masters have for the most part adopted this recommendation, and though a very large number of the workmen have affixed their signatures to the declaration thus required, yet the workmen gene rally have refused to put their hands to any such engagement. On the other hand, it must not be forgotten that the workmen allege, on their part, serious grounds of complaint. The chief of these, and the only one for which we have been able to discover the slightest foundation, is, that the masters have compelled them to deal at certain places and with certain persons for the purchase of articles which must enter into the materials of their daily consumption. No one can deny that one case bore out this complaint to a large extent ; but we have looked in vain for any thing like evidence that such a proceeding on the part of masters is even frequent, much less general, ill the trade. If, however, it be (we believe it is not), there can be no doubt that it should be abandoned as a truck system in effect, though not in name, of the most indefensible descrip tion. These being the grounds of quarrel, we have been induced to speak of the matter, most assuredly not with the view of exasperating either party, but with the intent and desire of putting it shortly and plainly to both, whether it is not possible to adjust the difference, or at least whether there may not exist some way of arriving at a prospect of adjustment? When soldiers or statesmen, or others who are as careful and jealous in the grounds of their quarrels as any master builder or workman can possibly be in any thing that affects their interests,—when such persons happen to find among each other a ground of dif ference and dispute, and embark in the troubled sea of diplomacy, it has ever been found that they never by themselves approximate towards the point which each party professes (generally with great sincerity) a desire to attain. That point is of course always such a settlement as neither party shall suffer by. Further, not only do they not approximate to this wished-for end, but in proportion as their cor respondence increases, in the same proportion does their divergency widen, and the contrariness of their courses become more marked. The coolest heads and the sharpest wits that, from the beginning of recorded time till now, have been called in and brought to bear for the purpose of effecting the settlement which the par ties themselves despair of attaining, have in var i a bl y agreed, sooner or later, upon adopting one mode,--the shortest, as all will admit, and the best, as few will deny, because it is palpably the only probable, while it has generally been, found the only effectual, one. This mode is to make the parties assume their original position,--the position they occupied be fore the strife began,—to withdraw or to con sider as non avenue all that has passed between them, so that the disputants shall be unhampered by faulty or foolish declarations, uninfluenced by a desire of triumph, ungalled by a sense of the degradation of defeat, and unmoved by, because not obnoxious to the reproach of having yielded. Thus, they have all the benefit of the experience, without any of the ill or dis agreeable effects which the contest they have been en gaged in may be calculated t o f urnis h. B y t hi s course no mischief can possibly result to either party, and all the many advantages it promises must, if realized at all, be shared equally by both. Neither party loses any thing, while both, having time for consideration and calculation, will be in a better condition to decide whether it is worth the while of either to renew a struggle, which cannot, by the remotest chance, benefit the one or the other, and which may, arid in all pro bability will, injure both. Will the master builders and their workmen try the effect of this orthodox re ceipt in the social and political pharmacopceia ? If the workmen and their masters were simultaneously to dissolve their unions and withdraw their resolutions, assume each their former position, and be, in the mili tary phrase, " as they were," we have no doubt that both parties would so see their own interest, and so pursue it, that no more would be heard of the " Builders' Strike."—Times. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1834. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANcAtinia, Sari'. 4. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) TATHAM V. WRIGHT (TENTH DAY). On Wednesday Baron GURNEY summed up the evi dence. The Jury retired to consider of their verdict, and after an absence of two hours returned into Court and delivered in their verdict for the defendant, thereby esta blishing the will ; so that after two trials, in two different counties, and each terminating in favour of the validity of the will, it may be presumed that it will not be further disputed. NEW PALACE COURT. COLEY AND ANOTHER V. BARHAM. The plaintiffs in this case are coal-merchants, carrying on business at New Bridge House Wharf, Lambeth, and the defendant is a respectable accountant, residing near Wel lington-street, in the Strand. The plaintiffs sought to re cover three pounds odd for coals supplied to the defendant's wife in November last. It was proved in evidence that the defendant was called upon for the account about six weeks after the delivery of the coals, when the defendant said that he knew nothing of the bill ; that he supposed the coals had been delivered during his absence from town, and that he would speak to Mrs. Barham, and if the ac count proved to be correct it should be paid." It was further prov e d th a t th e d e f en d ant ' s w i fe had since given repeated promises to discharge the account, which was contended by the plaintiffs' Counsel was sufficient to show that the coals were had with the defendant's knowledge. Mr. Judge CASELY said that the evidence was not suffi cient for the case to go to the Jury. The defendant's wife could not be m a d e ev id ence aga i nst her husband, an d, as it had not been stated by the plaintiffs' witnesses that the de fendant himself had admitted the plaintiffs' claim, they were not entitled to a verdict. If it had been proved that the defendant carried on a business where coals were con stantly required, and his wife was in the habit of conducting that business, the law would presume that she was acting as agent for her husband, and the plaintiffs' claim would be allowed. On the application of Mr. Ross, the plaintiffs' Counsel, the Learned Judge consented to allow time for the produc tion of further evidence. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, AUGUST 4. (Before Mr. Common Sergeant MI REHO USE.) ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. Ann Vickers, so well known to the public iu connection with the case of the Lady of Colonel Hampton and the late unfortunate Mr. Tuffnell, who committed suicide in conse quence, was put to the bar, charged with stealing on the 10th of July two cups and saucers, chocolate stirrers, some bottles, glass saltcellers, spoons, napkins, handkerchiefs, table cloths, carpets, dusters, chintz curtains, wax candles, shawls, fifty numbers of the Mirror and Penny Magazine, &c., the property of Edward Dove and Ellen Chandler, Clifford-street, Bond-street. Mary Dove, wife to the prosecutor, who keeps a hair dresser's shop in Clifford -street, had hired the prisoner on the 17th of February. She remained in her service until the 10th of July. During that period witness missed a great quantity of small articles, which induced her to apply for a search-warrant, on the prisoner leaving her service. Ellen Chandler, a nursemaid, also in her service, aceom panied witness and the officers Schofield and Davis; of Marlborough-street office, to the lodgings of the prisoner, at No. 6, West-row, Carnaby-market. The prisoner was not present when they got there ; but a search was, notwith standing, commenced, and a shawl, the property of Eliza beth Chandler, and other articles—wax candles, cups and saucers—the property of the prosecutor, were found in the kitchen. Witness identified some of the property as her husband's ; and swore that the remainder, the candles for instance, were, to the best of her belief, her husband's also. The prisoner's boxes were then searched, and other articles of the prosecutor's property found therein. They were all produced in Court, and identified by the witness. In her cross-examination by Mr. PHILLIPS, witness ad mitted that a messenger had come, purporting to be from the prisoner, with a message to Eliza Chandler, to the effect that she would restore her shawl, if she paid he , - shilling which she owed her. . a, The Common - Sergeant, et - va Of p I of the trial, sug- gested that if the shawl were thrown out of the case on this evidence it would tend to simplify it very much. Witness further deposed that the prisoner, on entering her service, had given her a letter of character from Mrs. Hampton, wife of Colonel Hampton, then under a prose cution for perjury, arising out of a well-remembered trial, which letter witness handed over to that lady at her lodg ings, whither she had gone to find her for the purpose, Wit ness had no connection, directly or indirectly, with Mrs. Hampton in respect to this trial, and had no other motive in prosecuting it than the furtherance of public justice. George Davis, police-officer, of Marlborough -street Office, deposed to the same effect as Mrs. Dove, especially in regard to the finding the property. Schofield, the other officer, was also present at the search. The prisoner, still a good-looking young woman, though considerably altered for the worse since her former trial at the Old Bailey, addressed the Court and Jury in a low voice, but with great collectedness and apparent compo sure. She stated that she had entered the service of the prosecutor on a written character, subsequent to her leav ing the service of Mrs. Hampton, and her late trial at the Old Bailey. Up to that period she had been a servant from the age of nine years, with an irreproachable character. Her story, though complicated, and in most instances irre levant, was very fluently told, and expressed in language extraordinary for its selection and appropriateness ; artful in the extreme, as far as it involved the sympathies of the Jury. She broadly stated that the present prosecution was for the purpose of getting her out of the way, as she was a most material witness against Mrs. Hampton ; and she added, that a long time previous to its being instituted against her, Mrs. Dove had made propositions to her to leave London till the trial was over, promising her, as from Mrs. Hampton, any sum she chose to ask. She denied the charge of theft, alleging she had received the property from Mrs. Dove, and attempted a retort upon the prosecutors, by alleging several matters against them. Her address occu pied a considerable length of time, very near an hour, but it contained nothing save imputations of other parties, which we do not consider it our duty to publish. Some witnesses were called by the prisoner. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended her to mercy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday a poor woman, named Elizabeth Thonzas, ap plied to the LORD MAYOR to intercede with the owner of a lodging-house in Clerkenwell to obtain for her a counter feit arm, which was detained from her, and the want of which prevented her from making her bread. The statement which she made was a very affecting one. In December, 1828, she met with an accident and injured her left hand against a fender. She went to a medical gen tleman, who prescribed for her for some time, but she re ceived no relief from his attendance, and went by the advice of her acquaintances into St. Thomas's. Hospital, under Mr. Green, and remained there nine months ; at the end of which she came out, but without deriving benefit, so viru lent was the nature of the injury. She afterwards was taken into Bartholomew's Hospital, and remained under the care of Mr. Vincent for three months, but still relief came 'not, and back she went to St. Thomas's again, and remained six months more. On the 21st of April, 1830, after having suf fered most bitterly, her band was amputated a little above the• wrist, and in four weeks it was healed. The pain, however, returned soon, and the unfortunate patient un derwent great agony. The arm was amputated above the elbow by Mr. Langstaff on the 18th May, 1831, and she found temporary relief, but the inflammation returned. About six weeks afterwards two incisions were made in the arm I the main bloodvessel was cut, and the patient lost a great deal of blood. She was taken again to Bartholomew's Hospital, where other operations were performed upon her, but with no better effect than attended those which were first tried. She remained in the Hospital three months upon this occasion, but nothing would heal the wound, and she came out and suffered inconceivable misery for two months, at the expiration of which she appiied at the Lon don Hospital, and was there under the care of Mr. Luke for six months. She obtained some alleviation of pain there, but it returned, and for two years more she was subject to daily and nightly torture. On the 16th of April, 1834, she was received into Guy's Hospital under Mr. Bransby Cooper, who found it necessary to cut away the rest of the arm right out of the shoulder-joint (as the poor sufferer de scribed the operation), on the 27th May. She now thanked God that she was free from pain after six years' misery, but she was debarred from earning her livelihood by the unin dulgent conduct of her landlady. The Lord Mayor asked whether the gentlemen who superintended these hospitals had not made a subscription for a person who had gone through torture, the idea of which was enough to afflict any heart ? The young woman considered herself obliged beyond any thing by the great attention and kindness of the gentlemen, who showed great compassion for her case. When first she lost part of her arm, she was supplied by them with a false arm with a hook to it, and she could contrive by means of that to support herself by sewing.. She, however, contracted a debt of 9s. for lodging with her landlady, who seized upon her " hand," and kept it as security. The Lord Mayor much regretted that a landlady was to be found who had so hard a heart as to treat the poor girl with such cruelty. His Lordship then directed an officer to redeem the hand immediately, made a present to the grateful. applicant of a sovereign in the name of the Lady Mayoress, and addressed her in such terms of kindness and sYmpathy as drew tears from her. QUEEN- S QU ARE. Yesterday Thomas Dyer, a journeyman carpenter, a member of the Trades' Union, was brought up in custody of a police constable, and placed at the bar before Messrs. BURRELL and GREGORIE, charged with assaulting James Buckley, a painter and glazier, in the employ of Messrs. Bennett and Hunt, builders, of the Horseferry-road, West minster, and using abusive language to him, because he would not join the Unions. Mr. Shuter, solicitor, of Milbank-street, attended for the prosecution. The complainant was in the employ of Messrs. Bennett and Hunt, builders, and was at work with several other men at Sir William Gordon's house, near the Royal Hos pital, at Chelsea. That morning, between eight and nine o'clock, as he was sitting at the Phoenix public-house in Smith -street, getting his breakfast with some of the work men employed at Sir William Gordon's, the defendant, who was quite a stranger to him, came into the room where they were sitting, and began to abuse them all, calling them a parcel of " black ones" for signing the master's document. They took not the slightest notice of him, and he continued his abuse. As they were going out to their work witness requested him to let him alone, but he still continued call ing them all sorts of names. Witness told him if he did not desist he would strike him, and shook his fist at him. The defendant immediately made a cut at him with a knife which he had in his hand, which fortunately missed him. Witness then struck at defendant, and his blow missed him. The defendant then made a second cut at him with the knife, and cut him across the face. He im mediately went out and got a police constable, who took the defendant into custody. Mr. Shuter—Do you belong to the Trades' Union ? Witness—l do not ; I never belonged to any Union at all. Mr. GREGORIE—Was there any person with him ? Witness—Yes, there was one man with him, but there were several men in the street. Only on the previous day they were insulted and abused, and there was a great disturbance in the street. When they were at breakfast on the pre vious day, the defendant came in and abused them, and called them a parcel of crawling fellows for signing the document. Mr. Shuter said that it was an extremely hard case that inen—because they would not join the Trades' Union— should be treated in such a scandalous manner. A very little more, and he might have killed the complainant with his knife. Mr. Shuter was about to call his witnesses, when the ma gistrates, having consulted together, said that they thought it was a case which ought to be decided at the sessions and not before them. Mr. Shuter was ready to accede to any course the Ma gistrates thought best, and the case was adjourned until the Sessions. HA T T ON- GARDEN. Yesterday, John Murray, a labourer, was brought to this office on a warrant, and placed at the bar before Mr. ROGERS and Mr. Sergeant SELLON, charged by John Lynch, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Cubitt, the builder, o f Gray's Inn-road, with having committed a violent assault upon him under the following circumstances :- 1 Mr. Evans, solicitor to Mr. Cubitt, attended on the part of the prosecution. John Lynch, on Sunday night last, about ten o'clock, was returning home through Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's, when the prisoner came up to hiM and said, " Do you not work for Mr. Cubitt ?" Witness replied, " Yes, I do," On which the prisoner said, " Then I suppose that you are one of those who signed the document,' and he gave him a violent blow on the eye, which blackened and swelled it, when he repeated his blows and kicked him, making use of horrid expressions, until at length be fell down. He was then surrounded by a number of Unionists, who, with the prisoner, beat and kicked him whilst he was on the ground. Witness contrived to get u", and he was again beaten waking has escape.d kicked by th e prisoneruntil he succeeded in Mr. Sergeant SELL,- any witnesses to ,„..-.Have you go t persons corroborate witr .„Jur st a t ement ? to come . .„,„ l e d the transacti on , b u t th e y a re afraidLynch—Several pe for ward, as the Unionists would treat them with violence if th e y did so. MrSergeantELLOVit is certainly • S a m ost serious case. Your statement may be all true ; bat unless you bring forward some witnesses, I am afraid the case must fail. Lynch—l assure your Worship what I have said is true. Mr. ROGERS—Is the prosecutor now in Mr. Cubitt's employ ? Mr. Evans—He is, your Worship, and has been so for the last six weeks or two months. Mr. ROGERS—Has the prisoner ever been in that em ploy ? Mr. Evans—He has ;he was one of the party that struck. Mr. ROGERS called upon the prisoner for his defence. Prisoner—On Sunday night last I was passing through Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's, when the prosecutor said, " There you are, Jack ; why don't you sign the docu ment ?" He then challenged me to fight, and we fought two rounds ; but I deny the assault. Walker, a policeman, 80 E division, on Sunday night last, at twelve o'clock, was on duty in Buckeridge street, St. Giles's, when there was a desperate conflict be tween the Unionists and the parties who consented to work for the masters. He saw the prosecutor and the prisoner fighting, when he separated them, and advised the prosecu tor to go, but he was obstinate and would not. He struck the prisoner first, and they had two rounds, when he took out a knife from his pocket and threatened to stab him (Walker) if he interfered. Lynch—lt is false. I had no knife in my possession. Walker was sworn to hi s statement. Mr. Evans—Really, if this be true, lam astonished. I have been informed to the contrary. (To Walker)—Pray have you been drinking with any of tho Unionists since Sunday night ? Walker—l have not. _ _ Mr. Rogers—l ask you, on the oath you have taken, whether you have drank with any of the Unionists prior to the case being called on ? Walker—l have not, your Wor ship. What I drink I always pay for out of my own pocket. Mr. EVANS—And you swear that you were on duty at twelve o'clock on Sunday night last in Buckeridge-street ? Walker—l was on duty all over the neighbourhood. Mr. ROGERS—Answer the question directly. Were you on duty in Buckeridge-street ? Walker—l was, your Worship. Mr. ROGERS (peremptorily)—And before you leave the Court I again ask you, on the oath you have taken, have you drank with any of the Unionists since Sunday last ? Walker—l have not, Sir. Mr. EVANS—And why have you not ? Walker—Be cause I pay for what I have myself for the sake of my character and situation. The fact is, your Worship, those hot-headed Irishmen, when they get a little drop in their heads, would no more care about ripping your Worships open than nothing at all, and then they'd be sorry for it after. Mr. RoGEas—Under the circumstances we must dis charge the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant SELLON concurred, saying that the prose cutor ought to have brought witnesses. The prisoner was reprimanded, and, being fined one shilling, was discharged. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday Thomas Aldrich, a middle-aged man, respect ably attired, was charged with obtaining by fraudulent and false pretences two shawls, value 21. 35., from Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., linendrapers, Tottenham-court-road. James Spasman, shopman to Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., deposed that the prisoner, who said he was ladies' cap seller, was in the frequent habit of purchasing things at the shop of his employers. On Saturday, the 19th of July, the prisoner, having made some trifling purchase, asked witness if he would let him have three Thibet shawls to show to a lady. Witness said, " We'll send them to her,"-when the prisoner replied, " No, it is at Hammersmith. I'm going to take her some caps, and I will return the shawls before eleven o'clock to-night, or early on Monday morning." Mr. Shepherd, one of the partners, having consented, the priso ner took the shawl away, but not making his appearance on Monday, witness went to his house, when the prisoner returned him one of the shawls, and said he would bring the money for the other two on the following Saturday. He, however, " had kept scarce" ever since, which was the reason of his being given in charge. Mr. Shutt saidie could not interfere, and it was nothing more than a debt ; they had trusted him from Tuesday to Saturday, when he did not pay, and had ever since ne glected to do so. Witness—This same man has obtained three shawls from my aunt, who keeps a shop at Islington, under similar circumstances. Mr. Shutt—l cannot interfere in the case now before me—the prisoner is therefore discharged. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. CIRCUITS OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR RELIEF OF INSOLVENT DEBTORS.
