SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The " Grand Dinner of the Conservatives at Can terbury, to commemorate his Majesty's declaration in favour of the Church," took place as was announced on Thursday last, and a report of the proceedings at it will be found in another column. The Conservatives on this occasion met to commemorate a declaration which never could have been made. His Majesty, under the constitution, can change his Ministers, but he can only act through his Ministers. To say then, that his Majesty made a declaration to the Bishops directly at variance with the principles avowed and acted on by his Ministers, is to libel his Majesty, by holding him up to the nation as capable of doing that which no honest man can - do--employing as his Ministers men whose principles are at variance with his own. To be consistent, the Conserva tives ought to pretend that his Majesty is in a state of duresse ; and they ought to call on the Holy Alliance to relieve him by an army of the faith, as Ferdinand was relived at Cadiz. His Majesty may or not be a free agent ; but if he be a free agent, he cannot have made any declaration such as that attributed to him by the Conservatives, and yet have confided the administration of affairs to the Whigs. In justice to his Majesty, we are bound to consider the Conservatives calumniators ; and if any Prelate chose to report that his Majesty made the de claration in question, that Prelate is a foul libeller of his Sovereign, by attributing to him conduct which implies a want of both honesty and courage. In re turn for the services rendered by Lord Winchilsea in Ireland, Lord Roden appeared as a porformer at the Canterbury dinner. He told a doleful tale of the suf ferings of the Protestants in Ireland. It was but the other day that, at the great Protestant meeting at Dublin, the order was given for assembling the Pro testants in large masses, with arms, to overawe the Government ; but this attempt to bully having failed, recourse is now had to whining. Lord Roden said, " When lie saw his fellow Protestants abused ; when he saw them obliged by the op pression of the Romish priesthood to emigrate to foreign countries, he confessed his heart sunk within him ; and it was with pleasure, therefore, that he had acceded to the invitation so kindly given him to attend this meeting, as it afforded him an opportunity to speak to them of the sufferings of the Protestants of Ire land—(Hear, hear !)" Of course the commission and the government system of education came in for a due share of vituperation. The dinner upon the whole, however, was tolerably decorous. The Earl of Win chilsea, if he be correctly reported, played the part of Cassandra, with regard to the House of Peers : " The House of Peers, he granted, was placed in a perilous,situation ; but they were determined notwith standing, in defiance of those perils, and in defence of their constitution, to do their duty—(Loud cheers). They might fall—and would fall, he would -say, in that defence—(Renewed cheers)." What ! cheering when the fall of the House of Peers is thus prophe sied ! Sir Edward Knatchbull made a sort of trimming speech—but the state of the constituencies offered a solution of this. A Conservative dinner in Kent is a very different affair from an Orange meeting in Ireland. The Rev. Marcus Beresford, at the Cavan meeting, made some startling statements : " I will tell the Government (he says), what they must know, that the Popish population are arming to a man ; that not a reaper goes to the English harvest but brings back arms from Birmingham or Liverpool ; scarce a trader goes to Dublin or Newry, but executes a commission for a friend in bringing back a gun.—( Hear.) There are tens of hundreds of stands of unregistered arms in this country." It used to be said of the Roman Catholics that they complained of persecution, whenever they were not allowed to persecute others. - "The Irish Orangemen, who call themselves Protestants, have something of the same notion of persecution. Protestant grievances means with them that they cannot longer oppress the Catholics with impunity:— " If I am asked (says the Rev. Marcus Beresford), to point out the source of our grievances, I point to the fatal measure which gave Roman Catholics the elective franchise ; and from that, as from a poisoned fountain, I can trace all the woes of the Protestants of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) But to pass on to later events—the emancipation measure, given under any circumstances, but given as it was, a concession extorted by violence, threats, and all but rebellion, from timid expedi ency, it could not but dishearten every loyal man, and give lightning wings to sedition and disaffection, and put the lives and properties of Protestants in imminent peril.—( Hear.) Then came the Education Bill, by which God's word became excluded from the schools supported by the taxes paid by the Protestants of England : and, so far as man could do it, the blessed light of gospel truth became excluded from the rising generation of Ireland, and those high hopes of moral advance ment, which the perusal of the Scriptures by tens of thousands of our Roman Catholic brethren raised in our hearts, were at once dashed to the ground."—( Hear.) The English of this is, that the Catholics ought for ever to have been lorded over by the Orangemen— and Protestant tenets ought to have been forced on Catholic children. There is nothing wrong in making Catholics pay a Protestant clergy ; but to support schools which have not proselytism to Protestantism for object, out of the taxes, is monstrous injustice. The Orangemen may whine in England and rave in Ireland—but the people of England will not less sup port an honest Government determined to act on the broad principles of justice without reference to sects. We have been too long taxed to keep the people of Ireland in a condition of debasement for the sake of their Orange oppressors. This system was at an end, as is well observed by the Rev. Marcus Beresford, when the rights of the Catholics were conceded by the Duke of Wellington. From that source all that has since taken place naturally flowed ; and from that source must flow the complete equality of the Catholics in every sense, or the separation of the two kingdoms. Every year the Catholics find themselves stronger ; and the Orange men must make up their minds to renounce with a good grace what they cannot longer maintain. The ascendancy is gone for ever. We will conclude our observations with the following quotation from a letter from Mr. Cobbett to John Marshall, a labourer on his farm in Surrey, in the Register of this day, in which he describes the impressions made on him in his visit to Dublin : " I have this morning seen more than one thousand of working persons, men and women, boys and girls, all the clothes upon the bodies of all of whom were not worth so much as the smock-frock that you go to work in; and you have a wife and eight children, seven of whom are too young to go to work. I have seen the food, and the cooking of the food, in a large house, where food is prepared for a part of these wretched people. Cast-iron coppers, three or four times as big as our largest brewing-coppers, are employed to boil oatmeal (that is, ground oats) in water, or butter-milk, or skim-milk ; and this is the food given to these poor creatures. The white cabbages, the barley-meal, the pot fat, the when, and the butter-milk, which George boils daily for our little pigs and their mothers, is a dish, to obtain a mouthful of which thousands of these peo ple would go on their knees. Marshall, you know how I scolded Tom Denman, and little Barratt, And your own son Dick, on the Saturday before I came away, for not sweeping the sleeping place of the yard-hogs out clean, and what a strict charge I gave George to fling out the old bed, and to give them a bed of fresh straw every Saturday. Oh, how happy would thousands upon thousands in this city be, if they could be lodged in a place like that roughest hog-bed I this morning saw a widow woman and her four children, in the spot where they had slept ; on their bed, in short. George remembers my looking over at the sows and their sucking pigs —.and at the two youngest calves, just before I came away ; and that I told him to keep them in that nice condition all the time that I should be away. Now, Marshall, this poor widow, and her little children, werelying upon a quantity of straw, not a twentieth part so great as that allotted to one of the sows and her pigs ; and if I--on my return—were to see, as I am sure I shall not, the straw of the calves as dirty, and so broken, as that upon which this widow and her children were lying, I should drive George out of the house, as a slovenly and cruel fellow. And this, you will observe, is the case of thousands upon thousands of persons ; it is the case of whole streets as long as the main streets of Guildford and Farnham. Your pig-sty and Turvill's pig-sty, and the sties of other la bouring men, are made by yourselves, with posts and poles and rods and heath, and your supply of straw is very scanty, an d compels you to resort to fern and dead grass from the common but, and now mind what I say, I saw Turvill ' s p i g -st y the day before I came off, and I solemnly declare, in the face of Eng land and of Ireland, that Turvill's two hogs were better lodged, and far better fed, and far more clean in their skins, than are thousands upon thousands of the human beings in this city ; which, as t o s t r eets, squares, and buildings, is as fine a city as almost any in the world 1" These are the fruits of governing through an ascen dancy. These are the fruits of establishing a Pro testant Church for a Catholic population, and making laws to enable the few to trample on the many. — Morning Chronicle. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Durham do not seem to stable their horses well together—at least, they do not draw well in harness. One pulls one way, and the other another way ; and though we believe these Noblemen to be equally anxious for popularity, it is quite clear that while they choose different, and even opposite directions, we cannot congratulate both as having taken the right road. The observations of Lord Durham, at the late Edinburgh dinner, fairly enough contrasted their views as to the general policy which they would respectively recommend to Parlia ment for its adoption : " My Noble and - Learned Friend (said Lord Durham) has been pleased to give some advice, which, doubtless, be deems very sound to some classes of persons, who evince too strong a desire to get rid of ancient abuses, and a fretful impatience in awaiting the remedies of them. Now I frankly confess that I am one of those persons who see with regret every hour which passes over the existence of recognized and unreformed abuses." That the Lord Chancellor meant to point at Lord Durham and his party there is not much doubt; and as little, we should think, that the Noble and Learned Lord, who formerly took the lead in correcting every abuse, has now been outstripped by others, and that lie who was but a short time since the propelling power of the machine, is now anxious to put on the drag. Whe ther this is a prudent step we will not stay to inquire ; but we think it apparent that his Lordship is not so well disposed to enter boldly into questions of reform, or to throw himself as fearlessly as formerly on the opinion of the country. For the sake of conciliating enemies, whom nothing on earth (as Lord Durham ob served) can conciliate, we fear his Lordship has been inclined to clip and mutulate principles which should be held inviolable. With what success this attempt has been attended—without meaning to depreciate Lord Brougham's power of conciliation, though we do not suspest that his talent lies in that way—we shall leave the public to decide. We would merely observe that to deliberate to the fullest extent we do not ob ject ; but that far too much remains to be done for the country to allow Ministers to rest on their oars, and that although the people are satisfied with the measure of Reform granted to them, they are now most anxiously awaiting the promised fruits of that measure. And we give them credit for sufficient good sense not to expect to reap all the benefits in one summer; but that they will be satisfied to allow any harvest to pass without some produce we do not think ;—as to there being any abate ment in their desire for the correction of abuses, or any reaction on the subject of Reform, as soon would we believe " pronos relabi posse rivos et Tiberim re verti." The fact is, and the Lord Chancellor we should think knows it as well as any man, that to stand still, or even to move lazily, will mit be endured in the present temper and with the present capabilities and wants of the country. Even in Scotland, where the Noble Lord has experienced so gratifying a re ception, we suspect that he will find anything but a response to his newly-adopted project of " the snail's gallop" in legislation. Our Correspondent at Glasgow writes thus of the state of the public feeling there : " The state of public feeling in this part of Scotland is de cidedly opposed to the stand-still policy of the Lord Chan cellor; and there are several great questions about which the Scotch threaten to try the pulse of the Parliament in the next Session, and without much delay. There is a strong feeling in favour of triennial Parliaments and vote by ballot; and ex tension of the suffrage would also be a popular measure here. The opinion in favour of triennial Parliaments especially is very general and decided." As the Lord Chancellor and Lord Durham are at issue on the question of quick or slow progress in the march of improvement, it would appear, if the above statement be correct, that public opinion north of the Tweed is not preparod to go along with the former, and we venture to think that in the south he will find as little disposition to support him in a theory which, whether just or not in itself, is at all events incon sistent in him.—Morning Herald. We devote a considerable portion of our space this day to the proceedings of two most interesting and important meetings, those of Conservatives of Kent and of the Protestants of Cavan. It is unne cessary that we should detain our readers from the perusal of the admirable speeches delivered at both by any attempt at analysis or commentary, for, in the pre sent circumstances of the empire, we are persuaded that every word of the reports will be eagerly perused by all classes of our readers, and we feel that any re marks of ours would be more likely to weaken than to enforce the impression they are so well calculated to produce. The Protestant spirit in Ireland is effectually roused by the sense of actual oppression, and the visible approach of a crisis, upon the issue of which the preservation or destruction of the Protestant Church, the reinforcement or the dissolution of the connection between Ireland and Great Britain, must wholly depend. And it is satisfactory to per ceive in the great Kentisl!_Meeting an unequivocal indication that the feelings which pervade . the Protestant people of Ireland, and the efforts which they must inspire, will not be defrauded of any portion of that encouragement and aid which the sym pathy of British talent, patriotism, courage, and virtue can yield them. The Meeting at Canterbury and that at Cavan were stimulated by the same feelings, and had one common object in view. But it is impossible not to remark that the topics which predominated in the several addresses delivered at each were to a con siderable extent dissimilar. The King's declaration to the Bishops of his conscientious and unalterable reso lution to maintain the rights and integrity of the Church—the hopes, the confidence, the exultation which this spirited and well-timed declaration is so well calculated to inspire—imparted to the Kentish Meeting its tone and character. A less cheering but not less invigorating influence pervaded the minds and suggested the language of their afflicted and perse cuted brethren, the Protestants of Cavan. It was for the latter to speak of the persecution, the oppression, the robbery; the insults, to which they see the Protestant Church of Ireland and her Clergy daily exposed. It was for them to describe as they per petually witness the most venerable, virtuous, and faithful Ministers of the Church reduced to beggary and destitution in consequence of the protection of the laws having been withheld from them by his Majesty's vernment. It was their duty to pourtray, as they had experienced, the insufferable tyranny of demagogue ascendancy and of priestly dominion. It was theirs to speak of zealous and discreet magistrates degraded and denounced by the authority of the English Govern ment, for no other crime than the warmth of their attachment to the laws, the constitution, the religion, the cause of England—of an ExecutH'e impotent or conniving, while the law is habitually neglected and derided by a large proportion of the people—of home and altar, of property and life, utterly - unprotected—of the deepest injuries and the most galling insults that men were ever called upon to endure in any community calling itself civilized. Such were the topics which forced themselves upon the attention of the Cavan Meeting. The distinction between the meeting at Canterbury and that at Cavan is, indeed, broad and palpable : the former celebrated the pious declaration of the King of England—the latter rehearsed and denounced the conduct of his Ministers.—Morning Post. We have received a great number of letters respect ing a case which, arising out of the new Poor Law Bill, came recently before the magistrates at Ilford, in Essex. The case, as reported, is this :—A young man named James Wheeler, whose settlement was in the parish of Layton, was apprenticed about six years ago by the parish officers of Layton to one William Gardener, at that time a fisherman at Barking. Wheeler lived with his master until about 18 months ago, when the master, becoming embarrassed, sold off all he had, and entered into the service himself. Wheeler was in consequence thrown on the parish of Barking, and the overseers of that parish sought to get rid of him, and remove him to his own parish of Layton. They, there fore, applied to the magistrates for an order of removal, and the vestry-clerk of the parish read to the magis trates the following clause (the 67th) of the Poor Laws' Act, upon which the application was grounded : " And be it further enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act no settlement shall be acquired by being apprenticed in the sea service, or to a house holder exercising the trade of th'e seas, as a fisherman or otherwise, nor by any person now being such an apprentice, in respect of such apprenticeship." The magistrates' clerk, Mr. Cherry, was of opinion that this clause of the Act did not apply to the case before the Bench. The Chairman, Mr. Hall Dare, after calling the attention of the Bench to the vast import ance of this case to the parish of Barking, and to all other parishes which number many fishermen among their inhabitants, said that he bad not supposed there could have arisen any difference of opinion upon the subject. He , had taken it for granted that the magistrates would make the order of removal as a mat ter of course ; but after the opinion expressed by Mr. Cherry, he had altered his own. After some discus sion, the magistrates retired to a private room, where, upon consultation, they resolved not to make the order of removal. The Chairman, however, in corn • municating this resolution to the parties, recommended the parish officers to draw up a ease for the opinion of some high legal authority on the point. Some of our correspondents who have called our attention to this case, desire to know if the decision of the Magistrates be right, while others take it for granted that it is wrong • but all of them dwell upon the declaration of , the parish officers, that there are 600 apprentices in the same condition with this pauper, and consequently urge the extreme importance of the case. For our own parts, we concur in the first judgment of Mr. Hall Dare, and we should very much like to know how the Magistrates' clerk gets over these words of the clause, ," nor by any person now being such an apprentice ?" We have no doubt that whatever and how many soever legal authorities may be consulted on the point, their opinions will concur and be against the Magistrates, de claring that the Magistrates ought to have made, not re fused, the order of removal. The clause under which the application was made is a very remarkable one, and has been repeatedly mentioned as . the only clause of the Act which may deprive a party of a settlement already gained, as it clearly does in this instance. We -shall not on this, occasion discuss the policy or the im policy of the enactment, but we must be permitted to remark that the case in question affords another (proof of the declaration we so often made while this new Act was under discussion in Parliament—namely, that the persons most interested in it had not the most re mote notion of the nature of the alterations it made in the existing law. It was only • yesterday that we quoted from a Sheffield paper the following para graph :—" A few days ago the subject of the Poor Laws' Amendment Act was accidentally introduced at a market table in this town, when there was only one out of a dozen farmers who had heard anything about it, and he confessed his entire ignorance of its details. Some of them, ere long, will feel its blessings !" And yet we are told that the bill had been received with almost unanimous approbation by the people, and be fore its operation has yet well commenced, we are as sured that it is working wonders. We shall see. Times. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, SEPT. 26. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE JAMES SMITH'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case was a stock-broker, and a meeting of his creditors was held to-day for the proof of debts. The final examination of the bankrupt was also fixed for this day, but he has not surrendered. Application was made on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Scott, to prove a debt under the following circumstances :—The Rev. Gentleman forwarded to the bankrupt some time since a sum of money amounting to upwards of 1,8001., for the purpose of its being invested in Danish And Russian securities. The bankrupt sent, in return, an account which led the Rev. Mr. Scott to suppose that the money had been invested according to his directions ; but subsequently to the bankruptcy, it was discovered that this was not the case, and that the money had been applied to the private purposes of the bankrupt. The solicitor for Mr. Scott now applied to prove for the principal money sent to be invested, as well as for 1441., being the amount of profit which would have accrued to the Rev. Gentleman by the advance that had occurred in the value of the securities be tween the times when the stock was said to have been pur chased and the date of the bankruptcy. The COMMISSIONER asked upon what principle the rev. gentleman could claim the 1441., which it was stated was the increase in the value of the stock by an advance in the prices. The Solicitor considered his client clearly entitled to the amount. It was however brought before the Court for its decision. His client had received a letter, in which it was stated that the money had been laid out as directed. His client was entitled therefore to the difference in the value of the stock. The letter in question was in the bankrupt's handwriting. The COMMISSIONER remarked, that the stock might have been resold by the bankrupt previously to the bank ruptcy. He rather inclined to the opinion that there ex isted a right of proof for the sum of 144/., as well as for the 1,800/. There was, he recollected, a case decided which was in principle similar to the present—he referred to that of " Latham and Parry." He thought there could be no objection to allow proof to be made for the whole sum. The proof was accordingly made for 1,8001. and 1441. An application was made for a private meeting in order to examine Mr,Kinnear, relative to a proof made on behalf of Kinnear and Co., the object of which was to set aside the proof. The COMMISSIONER said that unless the examination had reference to the due administration of the estate of the bankrupt, the application could not be granted. The applicant stated that the object being to strike off from the proceeding the debt proved, was, he submitted, strictly conneeted with the due administration of the estate. It appeared on inquiry that the Solicitor to the fiat was Solicitor to the petitioning creditor, the assignee, and to Messrs. Kinnear and Co., when The COMMISSIONER said that, under such circumstances, it was not likely that the Solicitors to the fiat and to Messrs. Kinnear would be very active in aiding the appli cant. He said this not in disrespect of the Solicitors to these parties, but from a knowledge of human nature. As the banking firm of Messrs. Glyn and Co. were large creditors, he thought the applicant should have an inter view with them upon the subject, and they, as well as the official assignee (Mr. Edwards), being disinterested parties, would take the proper measures to investigate the circum stances. The amount of debts already proved is 7,911/. The total amount of debt s an d li a biliti es a g ainst the bankrupt is 29,5001. The assets are extremely small. COURT OF REQUESTS, SEPT. 26. A " PINT" OF LAW. John Jenkins, a dingy complexioned member of the ho nourable fraternity of costermongers, was summoned by Thomas Little, a chandler shop-keeper in Haydon-alley, for the sum of 395. 11 d., being, as per bill, the amount of divers half and whole quarterns, red herrings, snuff, long sixes, small beer, and other necessaries, furnished to his wife, Mary Jenkins. The defendant, a short, knock-knee'd little man, with a cast of countenance very much resembling a bull terrier, took his place at the bar with all the confidence of a barris ter of thirty years' standing, and pulling out a pile of dirty paper, prepared to take voluminous notes of the matter in issue. The plaintiff swore to the debt, and proved it in the usual form, averring that he trusted Mrs. Jenkins with the various articles recited in the bill, knowing her to be a mar ried woman, and believing that her husband was responsible for the amount. " Afore I raises my pint of law to this here haction (said the defendant) I vonts to ax von simple kvesthun of the prosecutor. Now, on your hoath, didn't I sarve you with this here werry indentical notice ?" The defendant hereupon handed in a slip of paper con taining the following words : " Not Ice is heaiby giving that John Jenkins, of No. 9, Haydon-alley, has diworced his wife, Mary Jenkins, and he wont be anserable not for nothink, as she gets tick for at any previous timeA—Given under My hand and seal, Witness, Robt. Stubbs. " JOHN JENKINs." The plaintiff denied that he had been served with any notice of that kind whatever. The defendant then, casting an important look about him, prepared for his defence, elbowing the spectators right and left, from the front of the bar, and putting himself in the attitude most favourable for oratorical display : " Ladies and Gemmen, and your honourable Lordship," he began, " the kvestshun for this here Court to decide is, vether a man wot has been legal diworced from his vife and wot has settled on her a seperate hindependance of six shil ling a week is liable in the arms of the law for votever parti cles she may gammon the flats out on." COMMISSIONER—" Do you mean to say that you have procured a legal divorce from your wife ?" " Vy, yes," continued the defendant ; " vot I calls legal, for its werry true as I hav'n't got no divorce out of Doctor Commonses Classical Court, cause that ere's only for people wots gentle folks, but I get harticles of seperation reglar signed and vit nessed, and afterwards I sends round notices vere I gets my gin and vere I gets my little bit of wittles, that nobody wor'nt to give my vife no tick vithout she brought the ready money. Now I git a case in pint to show at no human being can't be liable for nothink, if they cotches their vives in sitch a similar sitivation as I catched Bill Jackson with mine." " Well, Mr. Jenkins," said the COMMISSIONER, who appeared diverted with the defendant's mode of de fence, " perhaps you will show us your case in pbint." " Here it is," replied the defendant, handing in an old greasy newspaper. " In that there you'll see, as Jack Hollis, my mate, had a law-suit afore Sir Richard Birnie, at Bow -street, 'cause he vould'nt maintain his vile whom • 'he Cr,tehed a bed with a gentleman vot sold vort'er creases. S;7e Richard granted him the victory 'cause he said as how nn man wornt hobligated to support his vife ven she's lost her wertue ; but if she vos in vont of a common necessary, she must go to the parish and get perwided." " Can you show the Court," inquired the COMMISSIONER, that the plaintiff knew your wife was separated from you ?" " Yes, I can," rejoined the defendant, " for she lived next door to him, with her pal, and vent by another name ; and, more than that ere, Mister Little vouldn't have come down en me for this here, hadn't Bill Jackson bolted away last veek." The COMMISSIONER, having expressed himself more sa• tisfied with the last fact than with the defendant's specia pleading, nonsuited the plaintiff. THE SiTg, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1834. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, SEPT. 26. Adolphus Feistel, a Frenchman, a commercial agent, for merly trading under the firm of Feistel and Co., was op posed by Mr. Woodroffe for a Mr. Walker, a bricklayer, and by Mr. Clear and Mr. Collet in person. He was supported by Mr. Cooke. The insolvent had been a bankrupt in 1825, and had obtained his certificate. He had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act in 1829. The debts now due to his cre ditors, for which he had received consideration, amounted to 8481. His credits, good, bad, and indifferent, were stated to be about 9001. It was complained, on the part of Mr. Walker, that the insolvent had vexatiously defended an action brought against him for the recovery of 38/. by that person for work and labour in the repairing a house. Mr. Walker recovered a verdict, but the money was not forthcoming ; he had been put to 521. expense in costs. Mr. Clear had brought an action against the insolvent to recover his demand, and had obtained a verdict ; the insol vent, had, however, obtained a rule for a new trial, which had not yet taken place. Mr. Collet complained that the debt due to him of 33/. had been contracted by the insolvent by representations which were not true. The Learned Chief Commissioner REYNOLDS said, " Previous bankruptcy and insolvency should have taught the insolvent caution in his future behaviour. The evi dence of the insolvent and that of his creditor Walker had been directly in contradiction ; the Court, however, had no hesitation in saying Walker was the witness of truth, and the insolvent the witness of falsehood. The defence to the action brought by Walker had been clearly vex atious, to defeat a just claim. With respect to the action brought by Mr. Clear, as the Court had granted a rule for a new trial, it could not be said the defence had been vex atious ; but Mr. Clear had been hardly and insolently used by the insolvent. The debt due to Mr. Collet had been shown to have been contracted by false representa tions, and the Court therefore adjudged that the insolvent should not be entitled to his discharge until he should have been in prison eight months at the suits of Walker and Collet, for a vexatious defence to the action brought by Walker, and for fraudulently contracting the debt due to Collet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A woman, named Sarah Record, was brought before the LORD MAYOR by John Forrester, the officer, charged un der the following circumstances : Mr. J. Rooney, a tradesman in Bishopsgate-street, stated that the prisoner walked into his shop a few days ago and offered him a small quantity of wire, of the description used in weaving, for sale. He did not hesitate to purchase it, and she said that she could get any quantity of the article that might be required. An order having been given, she appeared at the shop with a large quantity, and asked no more than 9d. a pound, although it was worth Is. 10d. Suspecting that there had been some foul play, the witness went to John Forrester, who, upon hearing the statement, took such measures as soon laid open a scene of very extensive robbery. The prisoner, it appeared, upon being questioned by the officer, told such an apparently straightforward story about the matter, that she was believed to be totally blameless. She said that her husband and brother manufactured the wire at Twig Folly, Bethnal-green ; that her name was Wood, and that she had five children. Forrester, how ever, ascertained, by his particulor way of making inquiry, that her name was Record, and that her husband worked at the manufactory of Mr. End, wire-weaver, in Long-lane, Southwark. The husband, however, got what is called " the office" (informed of the danger), and left the premises of his employer before Forrester could communicate with Mr. End, who stated, upon hearing of the circumstance, and examining the wire, that he had lately been robbed of 60/. worth of article. Mr. End had, in consequence of the large family of Record, raised his wages, and least of all expected such conduct on the part of his journeyman. He employs about 40 hands, and was stated to be determined to prosecute the thief, whoever he might be. Mr. Rooney stated that the prisoner mentioned to him that she had sold a considerable quantity to a Mr. Sawker, of Fuller's -street, Bethnal-green. John Forrester stated that he went to the house of Sawker and asked him whether he had purchased wire of a woman. Sawker immediately produced 241 b. of wire, for which he said he gave Bd. per pound to the prisoner. Mr. End said the wire was worth 2s. 9d. a-pound. The prisoner said the wire was / left at her house, but not by her husband. She begged thAt the Lord Mayor would be so good as to discharge her, And to direct Mr. End to pay her three drys and a half's wages, which were due to her. The LORD MAYOR—Why don't you ask him to pay you for the trouble you had in taking his wire about for sale ? The prisoner was remanded. BO W-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Steel, the Assistant Vestry-clerk of St. Clement Danes' parish, applied to Sir F. ROE for advice how to proceed uuder the circumstances stated by him, as follows . A Noble Lord, prior to the passing of the new act, had become the father of a bastard child, which, together with the mother, was chargeable to St. Clement's parish, and the expence of their maintenance up to the present time amounted to 30/. The parish officers in order to indemnify the parish obtained a warrant against the Noble Lord as the putative father of the child, with a view to obtain pay ment for the cost of its maintenance hitherto, and also to secure such allowance for the future as might be awarded by the magistrate. The warrant was given to the mes senger of the overseers, who received directions to serve it on his Lordship in person, and to request his attendance before the Magistrate. The warrant was made out in the christian and surname of his Lordship, omitting his title al together ; and, as soon as it was served upon the Noble Lord, be pleaded his privilege as a peer, and refused to attend to it. The messenger not hnowing how far he would be justified in taking the Noble Lord into custody, and fearing that if he adopted that step he might bring both the parish and him self into trouble, made his bow to the Noble Lord, and retired to report the result of his mission to the parish offi cers, and receive their further instructions. Under these circumstances, Mr. Steel wished to be advised by the Ma gistrate as to whether the Noble Lord could legally avail himself of his privilege of a Peer,and evade attending to the warrant, or whether he was not as liable to the expense and charge of maintaining his illegitimate offspring as persons similarly situated who had not the honour and advantage of being included in the Peerage. Sir F. ROE said there could be no doubt of the liability of the Noble Lord, and if Mr. Steel required a warrant to secure the Attendance of his Lordship to answer to the charge, he was quite willing to sign it. Mr. Steel said he had no doubt but that his Lordship would attend to meet the case whenever his presence was required. He would therefore take out the warrant as a matter of form, taking care however that the Noble Lord was described by his proper title. The application, so far as the parish was concerned, was made in that half-mumbling, whispering manner, which usually indicates a desire to prevent the reporters from learning what is passing. The warrant, it was understood, was subsequently issued and placed in the hands of an officer. UNION-HALL. Mrs. Francisco, the wife of an Italian showman, the proprietor of an exhibition at the Rotunda, in Blackfriars road, was yesterday summoned for refusing to pay a juggler in their e mployment his week's wages, amounting to 12s. The juggler said that he was dismissed from his employ ment by Mrs. Francisco, who had the management of the exhibition, and at the time of his dismissal they owed him 65., which they refused to pay, And that in consequence of this refusal he was compelled t o t a k e out a summons, an d pull them up" for his wages. Mr. TRAIL said, that thse exhibitions about town were a most intolerable nuisance. There were always crowds collected, and amongst them pickpockets, about the doors, and frequently persons got robbed. The magistrate then asked the complainant whether he was the man who ful filled the duties at the door next the street, and made such an uproar by directing the attention of the passengers to the canvass daubs suspended in front of the building, and inviting them to look at the " wonders" within. Com plainant—No, your worship, I'm not the touter of the consarn. I am employed very differently to that there. Mr. TRAIL asked him the nature of his employment ? Complainant—l does a wariety of things to make myself generally useful. I am a juggler by, profession, but when I went to the Rotunda I condescended for to do other things besides juggling. Having a good woice, I was appointed to describe the wax-work figures to the company ; to elooci date the magic-lantern, and to tell a long tale about the sarpent's that corned from the West Indees. Here Mrs. Francisco stepped forward, and said that the juggler was near being the ruination of the eonsarn altoge, ther. Mr. TRAILL—What has he done ? Mrs. Francisco—What has lie done ? Why, he used to get so confoundedly drunk, your Worship, that he knew not what he was about one half his time. I must tell your worship, that in the exhibition there are wax figures as large as life of the most renowned and wonderful men as ever lived, and amongst them Bonyparte, Duke of Wellington, Marc Antony, Caesar, Jupiter, and other great heroes.— (Laughter.) Well, your worship, as I was a saying, the juggler undertook for the describe each figure to the com pany ; his woice was good I own, but then he made such terrible blunders in his descriptions of the great men, often pointing oat Marc Antony to the audience as Bonyparte, and Jupiter for the Duke of Wellington. These here mis takes, your worships, injured the exhibition, and the people what knowed better laughed at and ridiculed the igrArance betrayed by people as ought to know better. Mr. TRAILL asked her why she did not pay the juggler his wages, and get rid of him altogether, on finding that his services were not likely to be an acquisition: Mrs. Francisco said that she had never agreed to give him wages ; that he was allowed to keep what money he got from the company whO thought proper to give him any, and in this way he picked up a great deal on some days. The juggler said that his contract was 2s. a-day for his services. " Why," said he, addre'ssing Mrs. Francisco, " you knows werry well that when the sarpents were sent away, the performance began to go down, and sometimes I did not take 2d. a-day from the company." Mrs. Francisco was asked by the magistrate what sum of money was generally taken each day for admission at a penny a-head ? Mrs. Francisco replied that they generally averaged from 3/. to 4/. a-day; " but then," said she, " we are at a great expense ; the rent of the Rotunda, besides paying the men we employ, makes a great hole in our profits." She then called two witnesses for the purpose of disproving that she had agreed to give the juggler any weekly wages. After a long altercation between the contending parties, the Ma gistrate recommended Mrs. Francisco to pay the juggler his claim, and it was at length decided that the summons should stand open for a week, in order to give Mrs. Fran cisco an opportunity of arranging the matter in dispute with the juggler. NEW AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. On Friday last a meeting of a few scientific farmers and country gentlemen from different parts of the counties of Antrim and Down, took place in the Ex change Rooms, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the propriety of establishing a Farming Society, that might be of general utility to the small farmers and practical agriculturists of our country. It was admitted by the gentlemen present, that, although the Province of Ulster could boast of many scientific farmers who would be an honour to any country, yet, it was lamentable to see how the capital and energies of the great mass of agriculturists were misapplied, for want of anything like a scientific knowledge of hus bandry. It was, however, admitted, that many laud able attempts had been made, by the landed proprie tors and higher classes of farmers, in particular depart ments, especially in the breeding of cattle and tLe ploughing of land, but that there had scarcely been a rational attempt made to render the principles of agri culture more generally understood. In order, there fore, to supply this deficiency, it was considered highly necessary to establish, in this town, a Parent Society, as a rallying point or nucleus, around which others might be formed, on terms so moderate, as to be acces sible to all, and which might diffuse amongst the farmers of the country a more general knowledge of those improv ed principles of agriculture, which are so much required for the successful and economical pursuits of husbandry. The conversation that took place was rather of a de sultory kind ; but several suggestions were made for the purpose of carrying into effect those objects which the meeting had in view. .Amongst others, it was pro posed that, as soon as the finances of the Society would admit, the publication of a cheap quarterly agricultural magazine or miscellany would be attempted ; that it should encourage the reading of original essays, and establish courses of lectures on agriculture ; and that it should adopt such other means, from time to time, as might be calculated to instruct the working farmer and practical agriculturist in the cultivation of the land. We hail with satisfaction the attempt which is now making to establish a society that would diffuse useful information amongst the agriculturists of our country ; but not being at liberty to go more into de tail, than merely speak of the objects which are in con templation, we are of opinion that a society, formed on the suggestions already alluded to, would be of more service than any thing of the kind which has yet been brought to bear on the improvement of agriculture. Another meeting of a more general kind, we under stand is soon to take place ; and we would just say, let those gentlemen who have this great object in view, act on the most simple and judicious plans, and keep aloof from all sectarian distinctions, party politics, and aristocratical monopoly, and there is no fear of their success.—Northern Whig. A COMMUNITY OF DRUNKARDS. I have heard strong objections to any interference with the habits of society—and it has been said that it infringes upon the RIGHTS of individuals, to pre scribe sobriety to them, and to put them to any in convenience because they choose to get drunk. Much fault has been found by some, with an opinion which I expressed at the late meeting, that drunkenness ought to be punished. O ne person w h om I me t w i t h next day, told me I was " straight laced." What he meant, is for him to say. If he meant lam a bigot and a " co-ercion" man, will promise to amend, and to take his side of " non-interference," upon one con dition, and that is, that drunkards shall form a corn-. munity to themselves. Let them live in separate towns—let them have a " Tadmor in the 'Wilder ness," if they will. At a proper distance from all sober towns, let a DRUNKEN TOWN be established. Let them be a distinct community, as far as may be. I was amusing myself with imagining such a society —all drunkards. I thought a goodly town was built for them, with every convenience that heart could wish—walled round--as was fitting (for drunkards are poor defenceless things) with just one sober man to lock the gate, and to keep out sober intruders. I thought they were all " settled" at last and gone to bed, as " comfortable" as they could wish, each having had a good " night cap," and I watched to see how they came on next morning. The first that rose was " a gentleman," of course, that had taken up his night's rest upon a dung heap—what is called in Yorkshire a " muck midding," and a very decent dormitory for a drunkard. He went to knock up the priest of a gin temple, which was no easy matter. Other priests they wanted not, or else I fear it would not be impossible to find a drunken one. This done—he demanded " a morning,'-'• if-you know what that is, of the best sort— but it now turned out, that the .good lady of the house, having had " a drop too much," had left the tap run ning, and it was all gone I And now to the cellar— but here again was bad luck, for the key was lost I Misfortunes seldom come singly, for the "gentleman" who applied for his " morning had no sooner begun to smack his livid lips, after tasting it, than he dis covered that his purse was lost ! It appeared that this was to be market day ; but, alas! where was the market? Butchers had been so busy " enjoying themselves," that the carcases were undressed. Drovers were de tained on the road after taking " a little drop too much." The bakers had, in pursuit of " good fellow ship," forgotten their bread batches. The carrier whom the grocers had sent to a neighbouring sea -port, for supplies of tea, sugar, and gin, was " at a lock," in consequence of " a little conviviality" he had indulged in. The miller—the honest miller, appeared as if some one had thrown dust in his eyes, for he had left the mill-dam gates open, and the water was gone. Mr. Crispin, the shoemaker, " to oblige his customers," had just spent a few evenings " in a free way," till the lap-stone was mouldy, and his worthy neighbours were barefoot. The tailor and his goose had quarrelled, he had only been a few d a y s at the sign of " the Last Shift," "to drive dull care away." The lawyer's eyes were both bunged up, so that he could not see his clients brief—and the doctor's nerves were so unste. , ',-- y , that he could not discern whether his patient's pulse was 60 or 199.—Rev. G. S. Bull's Lecturi. to Benefit Societies. " INFLUENCE Or TUE CROWN.--One day during the earlier portion of the reign of Louis XV., some person was besieging Monsieur de Montbarreg, who had the honour of being admitted to his especial confidence, with petitions for a place, "if ever his Majesty should obtain the slightest in fluence," replied the courtier, I will not forget you." AMERICAN INQUISITIVENESS. As for the inquisitiveness of the American s, 1 au not think it ha s been at all exaggerated. Sometimes 11 man would place himself at my side in the wilderness, and ride for a mile or t wo w ith o ut the smallest coal : munication between us, except a slight nod of the head. He would then, perhaps, make some grave remark on the weather, and if I assented in a monosyllable, he would stick to my side for another mile or two, he would commence his attack.
