SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. There was a are; .t Protestant meeting in Dublin on Thursday last, a re port of which our readers will find in another part of this paper. We expected that the rejection of the Tithe Bill would be followed by some such exhibition ; and we may consider the speeches as so many Conser catia . ,e manifestoes. They. were unani mous in abusing - the Government ; but the speakers, with one excefion, did not point to any intelligible conclusion. ihe exception to which we allude was Mr. G. A. T.-lamilton, of Hampton, who told the Peers distinctly, '.hat- if they have a mind for a counter-re volution, they may count en the Protestants of Ire land as a. band of bravoes fit for the most desperate -work. " They were now (said Mr. G. Hamilton) .upon the eve of a mighty conflict. Hitherto it had been a war of words—but the time for action was ap proaching, and Ireland would be the scene o f th e con itest.—(eeers.) The Peers of England had nobly done their duty ; the Protestants of Ireland should be ready to support them with their voices, and, if necessary, with the bayonet.—( Enthusiastic cheering.) The King had told the Protestants to speak out—they would do so ; they should now proclaim that they were neither afraid nor unwilling to enter upon the conflict, not withstanding all the boasting about the seven millions, and the perfect state of their organization."—(Cheers.) Mr. G. A. Hamilton is a perfect Captain Bobadil. He and his brother Protestants are ready not only to make minced meat of the seven millions of Catholics, but to do the work of the Peers in England. We should suppose, however, the Peers, bearing in mind that there arc such things as laws against treason, and scaffolds, will, notwithstanding the enthusiastic cheer ing received by Mr. G. A. Hamilton, think twice before. they close with that gentleman. Ministers Lave troops in Ireland ; and the moment Mr. G: A. Hamilton, or any of his Orange brethren, evince a disposition to disturb the peace, they will find that other people have bayonets as well as themselves. This is sad trifling. Another speaker, the Rey. John Martin, said, it was the • duty of the Pro testants of Ireland to refuse any information whatever to the Church Commissioners appointed by the King, and the auditory cheered this sentiment. The plan which he recommended was, a society and a subscrip tion. They should have Penny Magazines to enlighten the people of England, and they should also adopt of fensive as well as defensive measures. With a slight alteration in the Liturgy, they might conciliate the 'Wesleyan Methodists to make conramn cause with them—(Cries of hear, and " No, no.") We suppose after the Liturgy had been altered to. the taste of the Wesleyan Methodists, they will be regimented and furnished with bayonets to assist th e Protestant boys of Ireland in effecting the counter - revolution in favour of the Peers. Lord Roden, an the other band, told the audience, that the Protestants were so weak in many parts of Ireland, that as soon as it was seen how few they were, they would be mur dered. Numbering the Protestants, according to his Lordship, was numbering their days. " Let us now look (said his Lordship) to the Commission lately is sued. Issued for what purpose ? Why, for the purpose of numbering the people—of showing to our ene mies where the Protestants are weak ; and from the bottom of my heart, I believe that in numbering their heads, the heads of the Protestants of Ireland, they were at the same time numbering their lives." Lord Roden gives but a sorry account of Protestantism, when he declares that it cannot exist without the aid 'of the State, One moment the Protestants of Ire land are bullying the Government, and threat en i n g to bayonet his Majesty's Ministers; and the next they declare that they are so few in number, that in most places the churches will be shut up as soon as the re sult of the investigation is known. " The object of the Commission (said his Lordship) will be to shut up every church in a district where there will not he the required number of Protestant inhabitants ; so that where there may be anything like a paucity of Protestants, those who are in it are—them selves, their children, their servants, and all be longing to them—shut out from all spiritual com fort arid advice—from everything that is sacredly near and clear to them, and will be thus left, en tirely left, to the mercy .of the wolves ; and every means no doubt will be used to enlist them in the ranks of Popery.—(Hear, hear, hear.") But Lord Roden ought to bear in mind that where the Catholics are few in number they are equally shut out from all spiritual comfort and advice. Catholics and Protest ants are equally the subjects of the State. But who ever thinks of bewailing the lot of Catholics when in the midst of a Protestant population, because they are shut out from all spiritual comforts and advice ? Why are we to set such store on Irish Protestants, that we must be at the expense of keeping a Church, and paying a clergyman, for the sake of, perhaps, a single family ? The idea is monstrous. But Lord Roden tells us that it will be the duty of every gentleman who possesses an estate, to rear up, to rally round him, and to get into his neighbourhood as many Protestants as he possibly can by every kind of encouragement, in order that they shall have a parish Church and a Pastor who will disseminate sound Protestant principles. This sentiment was loudly cheered. But though Irish landlords are fond of Protestantism, they are still fonder of rent, and there are, besides, a few other reasons why Protestants themselves should be shy of taking farms from which Catholics have been removed, ran the force of which reasons it is unnecessary to descant. The Catholics are encroaching much more on the Protestants than the Protestants on the Ca tholics. Even in Belfast, the head-quarters of Pro testantism (Presbyterian-Protestantism), there are now upwards of 20,000 Catholics. Even Lord Roden himself has numbers of Roman Catholics as tenants, and he will think twice before he attempts to remove them. Lord Winchilsea having gone over to Ireland to support the Protestant cause, talked much in his usual strain. He "told the Irish Protestants that he would call upon their fellow -countrymen in England to make one common cause with them. But will they attend to his call ? In the Chronicle of Saturday we anticipated, with tolerable accuracy, the course which the factious abettors _of the Peers would follow. • " The Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington we' obServedy would not hasten the downfall of " t - clish Cburelb.arid' doom the clergy to beggary f or .....nothing. irp ll ley must have counted on som e thi ng ..'' ' - -Fiore than this ;- they must have had more extensive Yealairiify in view, - by way of consolation for the de * itruction of their "friends. '. We added, that "the pe.ople.of Ireland do well to beware of their -enemies, .alid hi avoid, above all things, playing into their hands." 'The sentiments broached at the meeting indicate, with sufficient plainness, that the object of the rejectors of the Tithe Bill was murder and bloodshed, . They wish tojAlilge the:Vrotestant clergy in beggary, .that, in their desperation, they may go all lengths in the war of tithes with the. Catholics, and then their fond hopes are, that Ministers will be embarrassed by being obliged to enforce the law. 'What the Duke of Cumberland wishes it is unnecessary for us to say. With res pect to the Duke of Wellington, if we are to be lieve what our contemporary, The Standard, ob served of him, when he attributed so many cold-blooded designs to his Grace, we should say, notwithstand ing his famous declaration of dread of civil strife, that he looks with satisfaction to the results on wnich the Duke of Cumberland evidently &oats. 'But the people of Ireland will, w e trust, diappoint them. They must be on their guard against the designs to provoke them to bloodshed. Every possible insult was heaped on the paw Catholics by the speakers at this meet ing. The Noble Lords, Winchclsea and Roden, are bothr for instance, very emphatic in proclaiming their opinions of Protestantism being essential to civil li berty. We are sincere Protestants, and devoutly at tacked to the great principles of the Reformation ; but irhilst we feel this unqualified attachment, we repu diate the calumny thus cast upon Catholics, whi c h equally betrays ignorance of history, and a reckless dis regard of consequences. It is pretty obvious that these wild enthusiasts have no wish so near their hearts as to second the views of the cold-blooded plotters who go ye. rn, the maj or i ty o f t h e Peers, namely, to pro d uce conflict and bloody contention. From this conflict they reckon as we have said on the country beitig embroiled, and the . Government embarrassed. Fervently do we hope that they will be disappointed in both. The Irish people will discover their object, and guard against falling into the snare. The Government are too well aware of their wicked and silly invention to be in danger of falling into such a trap. This opinion, so wantonly and wickedly promulgated, in the very heart of a Ca tholic population, where it could produce no better effect than irritation and quarrel, is worthy of the men who could act as they have done in reference to the Tithe Bill. These sentiments furnish the key to their intentions in reference to that measure, every other plan failing them to promote discord. They destroy the possibility of the Irish Clergy obtaining subsistence by any other means than by such as would lead to murder. The English are too sensible a people to allow these Peers to derive any advantage from the ruthless policy they are pursuing. , The Peers are only hastening their own downfall by the desperate measures which they countenance,with a view to reinstate themselves in power. Amidst all the bluster and violence of this meeting, one rational suggestion came from Lord Winchilsea. He expressed an anxious hope that whatever trials the Protestant Clergy might have to undergo, not only the Protestants of Ireland but of England would come forward and support them with all their might. This is a kind and Christian sugges tion, and we hope it will not have been made in vain. The rhodomontade and seditious effusions of the speakers ought not to injure the cause of the Clergy, who, by the fault of the Peers, and not their own,have been consigned to poverty. We trust that every one of the majority who threw out the Irish Tithe Bill will subscribe liberally, according to his means, for the support of the suffering Clergy. Others will also sub scribe, no doubt, but it is a sacred debt in the case of the majority of Peers. If they are liberal in their con tributions, we shall think less unfavourably of them. If, for instance, we see the Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington came down with 10,0001. each, we shall then be disposed to think that they did not wish to starve the Clergy, in order to goad them to acts of desperation against the Irish peasantry.—Morning Chronicle. It is difficult to understand the conduct of that class of Tories who call themselves friends of the Protestant church of Ireland. By a vote of Monday last, by which they boasted of protecting the church establis ment from " spoliation," they consigned the whole parochial clergy of Ireland to irredeemable famine ; and by a meeting got up on Thursday last in and denominated the " great Protestant meeting of Ireland," they did everything conceivable to provoke and exasperate the enemies of the church, but for the sup port, or maintenance, or comfort of the clergy, so far as we can see by the reports of the newspapers, they contributed nothing beyond speeches. That there were speeches, and nothing else—that there was " vox et preuterea nihil"—m.7 be imagined by those conver sant with the characters of the day, when we state that the Earls of Roden and Winchilsea were the chief performers at this " great Protestant meeting." The Dublin Evening , Post of Thursday last heads an arti cle on the rejection of the Irish Tithe Bill with these words—" Sentence of starvation by the Protestant bi shops upon the Protestant clergy ; and it is precisely true, if we add to " Protestant Bishops" the " Pro testant aristocracy" of the United Kingdom. They have, by their vote for rejecting the commutation pro posed for the Irish clergy, thrown them upon public charity, or, in other words, condemned them to starva tion. The big talk of these mouthing Protestant agi tators is, indeed, most contemptible in the eyes ofinen of sense and honour. Lord Roden apOstrophizes Irish Protestants and the Church as being " forsaken" by those who " ought to support them." How sarcastic is this simple Lord ! To be sure, the Church has been forsaken, basely betrayed, and wickedly forsaken, but by whom ? By him, Lord Roden, and by all those who concurred with him in pronouncing that 801. of well-secured rent-charge, in lieu of a nominal 1001. which had not been collected for years by the clergy, and which the King and Parliament had re peatedly declared ought not to be again exacted in the shape of tithe—that such a rent-charge, we say, paid to the parochial clergy, without delay, without vexa tion, without a possibility of evil consequence result ing from it, as between the clergy and the multitude of existing tithe payers—that-such a comfortable subsist ence should be withheld from the incumbents of Ire land, when actually within their reach, and that the sub stitute for it should be a state of irrevocable beggary. Such are the true betrayers and deserters of the church But is there are any falsehood in this representation ? Have we exaggerated anything ? Is there the shadow of an alternative proposed or meditated by the most vociferous Orangeman in favour of the miserable clergy ? Parliament has over and over pledged itself, the Crown has done so, in solemn addresses to the Legislature, that tithe should absolutely cease. A " temporary" assistance to the clergy was voted last year, on the full and avowed understanding that tithe was no longer to be looked to as a source of their sub sistence. Then let us ask, who will henceforth meet the risk of attempting to levy it ? Will the clergy run the personal risk ? Will the Government incur the moral responsibility of granting them military succour? Then, is there to be a voluntary contribution of the so-called " friends of the church," for the' support of these destitute ministers of the Protestant religion ? It would have been honest, between man and man, for the Tory Lords to explain to the church of Ire land the precise condition into which their vote would plunge it. They ought to have first stated the case, and then asked the clergy " Ay or no ?" If the Tory oligarchy had said distinctly " Here is a commutation for tithe held out to you, amounting to a well secured 80 per cent. ; if you reject it, you have nothing more to expect from us ; and from the tithe system you are yourselves aware that henceforth you can have nothing,"—does any man in his senses con ceive, that the clergy as a body would have been in sane enough to spurn at such a commutation as that which in their names (whether with their sanction is another matter) has been so cavalierly rejected ? If, on the other hand, hopes were proclaimed, that although neither tithe, nor commutation for tithe, should any longer exist, till the clergy should have a sure resource against want in the spontaneous contributions of the Protestants, we should like to learn from any " friend of the church," from Lord Roden for instance, or Lord Winchilsea, or the Duke of Wellington, what steps have been taken—what steps are even medi tated—towards realizing that generous project. Let it be remembered that the parochial incomes of Ireland, now payable to the clergy, amount to upwards of 600,0001. per annum, of which three-fourths :at least are paid by Catholics. If, therefore, the Protestants exclusively are to maintain the ministers of their church in the enjoyments of their present yearly sti pends, that particular sect must take upon itself a gra tuitous charge of four times as much as the sum to which it now is liable—the sacrifice in honour of the " voluntary principle," which if steadily and effectu ally made would no doubt settle the question as to church establishments in a way not very consonant to English praCtice, or that of other European States ; but does any person who' knows ever so little of Ire land believe in the practicability of such a scheme ? Why, the Shannon would as soon roll milk and honey into the Atlantic as the pockets of Irish Protestant landlords volunteer a self-taxation of 600,0001. No, the truth may be painful, but we may as well be pre pared for it.. There exists at this moment no subsistence except the legal one for the Ministers of the Church of Ireland, and that which is legal is merely nominal ; it will not yield a shilling ! If such be really the prospect of the Church (and we pray to be c orrected if we have erred in de scribing it), none are to blame but the blind and factious, though' strangely miscalled Conservatives. That the real friends of the Church, and of the Protestant community in Ireland, must regard that prospect as a dismal one, it is not for us to question. Ministers cannot demand another grant from Parlia ment. Let those, therefore, who have raised the diffi culty solve it. We would that they only were to taste its bitter fruits ; at the same time, until the clergy, under thepressure of famine and despair, shall attempt, if they do attempt, to enforce the payment of the tithe compositions, we do not see (apart from wanton aeita- - tion) any immediate cause of disturbance in Ireland. The clergy are already in debt to the Consolidated Fund a million of money, of which 160,0001. is by Act of Parliament to be paid next winter, and " whence," asks the Evening Post, " is that large sum to come from ?" Moreover, the Government is bound by lazy to exact the' discharge of that instalment from the clergy. Is the Crown, then, to employ•the troops, as Mr. Stanley did, for the non-collection of tithe ? If EO, it is plain there will be more bloody heads than halfpence, and that sanguinary-issue is not likely to be averted by meetings where such loyal incendiaries as certain noble Lords who shall be nameless undertake the principal parts.—Times. Convinced as we are that no political reforms will ever restore a healthful tone to society in these realms, or regain its lost prosperity for England, without being accompanied by large measures of social reform, we deem it a duty to rescue the public mind, as far as we can, from the delusion which mere political excitement produces, and to turn its reflecting attention to the best means of improving the habits, the morals, and comforts of the people. It is our opinion that there can be no sound reformation of a State which reaches not those classes which are the very foundation of society. Let political rights be defined and established according to the best possible system, they cannot fail to be abused, unless the people are properly instructed in their moral and social duties. Let the elective fran chise, for instance, be as extensively conferred as the most liberal of political reformers require ; let it be even placed upon that principle of universality of which Sir Francis Burdett and Sir John Hobhousc were the ardent advocates, before the charms of Radicalism yielded in their eyes to the superior attractions of Whig patronage—let Universal Suffrage, we say, become the law of the land, and what ad vantage will it produce to a people of drunken habits, and involved in the poverty and dependance which intemperance creates ? Such a people are under the chains of a worse than political bond age, such a people require to be emancipated from a worse than a political tyranny. The sword of war is a great destroyer of the human species, but intern ,. perance wields a more destructive instrumencof.death. War kills his victims openly, and with much noise and great celebration of his homicidal triumphs, but intemperance goes more silently to work—lie slaughters with his insidious poisons an infinitely greater num ber than are slain in the day when nations battle, by war's dread artillery. Even when the terrible work of war is over, when peace smiles upon mankind, and turns the sword into a ploughshare, and the spear into a reaping -hook, intemperance still slays his thousands ' with unrelenting hand, and the very celebration of a victory kills many of the survivors. Nor is it prema ture death. only that overtakes the children of intempe • ranee—the votaries at the reeking altars of the gin , demon—the mind, the noble faculty of reason of which drunkenness is always the temporary death, is often killed outright before the body dies. When insanity is . a visitation from Providence, the misfortune is sacred ; but what a frightful thing it is to see the prostration of the human intellect beneath the degrading fascinations of intemperance. This baneful power is daily and nightly employed since the passion for ardent spirits became so general in England, in filling the work , house, the prison, and the lunatic asylum, 'with the miserable beings who have surrendered their under , standings to its fatal ascendancy. Are they not the pa triots and benefactors of the human race who would exercise this demon from the land. The Temperance Advocate for the present month has the following pas , sage :—" In Apostolic times, when the Ephesians came under the influence of Gospel truth, they were not content with discontinuing themselves the use of their curious arts, but, lest they might be learned and practised by others, they collected th cir books and publicly burnt them, and the price thereof amounted to 50,000 pieces of silver, " so mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." We are happy to add that this noble example has been followed by thou sands in America and some few in England, who, from . convictions of duty, have ceased to manufacture or to sell spirituous liquors. We confidently trust that mul titudes of similar instances of devotedness may be found among us." C..rdially do we unite in the ex pression of tn..: same hope. Without sobriety there is no soil on which the virtues of a people can flourish.— Morning Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Saturday, a gentleman named Augustus Frederick Hem ming, of Yorkshire, made a complaint against an inhabitant of Holywell-street, in the Strand, of rather an extraor dinary kind. The complainant stated that he received a check a few days ago from Mr. Teague, an attorney in Cateaton-street, at the office of that gentleman, for the sum of 1431. He deposited the check in his trowsers' pocket, and went to Paternoster-row and Newgate-market, where he had deal ings with a green-grocer ; at the corner of the Old Bailey he took a cab and drove to Gray's-inn, and Portugal-street, and he finally drove to Fleet -street, where he discharged the cabman, while he was paying whom he missed his check. He did not suppose it had been stolen from him, as he had not been to his recollection in any crowd. He at once gave notice at the Bank, and stopped payment. Mr. Smith, a clerk in the tellers' office of the Bank, stated that a person who called himself Morris, and pro duced his card, on which was written Morris, No. 11, Holy well-street, Strand, called at the Bank, and said that he could give witness information about a check for 1431., which had been lost. It was also stated Mr. Morris said that the sum of 221. must be handed over, or the check could not be re stored to the right owner. The check was not presented, and, of course, was of no value ; but Mr. Morris, who is a Jew, persevered in stating that it should not be restored without the advance of that premium to the virtue of the finder. The consequence was that a summons was sent to the gentleman in Holywell-street. Mr. Hemming was very particularly asked by the Lord Mayor whether he supposed the check had been stolen from him. Mr. Hemmings said that he could not see how such a thing as a robbery could have been effected upon him ; but of course the ingenuity o f thi eves was so great , h e m ight have been robbed of the property, as a man's eyes could scarcely be said to be safe in his head. The Loan MAYOR--No doubt Mr. Morris will satis factorily explain this matter and return the check. Mr. Morris shook his head. He went, he said, to the Bank of England, with the party who found the check ; he could not tell who that person was ; as for himself, he was not in possession of the check, but he left his address at the back, that the party might call upon him about it. Mr. Hemming requested to be informed who had the check. Mr. Morris admitted that he knew who had the check in possession, but he certainly would not tell. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Morris, or rather Mr. Moses, which I think is your name, you think, I dare say, this is fair dealing between man and man. _ _ _ Mr. Morris—f am an honest man as ever lived, and I always act as such. I have nothing to do with the check ; it was found by a poor person. The LORD MAYOR—I have observed what integrity is to be found amongst the poorer classes ; but sometimes they meet with kind advisers, who totally alter the case in regard to certain transactions. I have no doubt that if this draft was found by some honest person, his first impulse would be to return it to the owner. But he must have met with some very kind friend, who advised him to demand such a swashing sum for his trouble and honesty. Mr. Morris—l can tell you that if I hadn't stopped it, it would have got into some other place. I have always been an honest man, and get my living in a most honest, and respectable way. The LORD MAYOR-0 dear ! I don't doubt it, Mr. Moses. You say if you had not stopped it, somebody else would have had it ? Mr. Morris—Yes, Ido say so. No doubt it would have gone elsewhere. The Loan MAYOR—Perhaps to some of your own con nexions? Mr. Morris—Perhaps so.—(Laughter.) No ; I don't know my own connexions ; but there is plenty of people ready to make money of such a tiling. The LORD 'MAyon—No. doubt you know where such people are to be found, Mr. Morris ? Mr. Morris—l have been a long time losing my time here, and I don't see why. The LORD MAYOR—If Mr. Hemming chooses to pro ceed in this case, he may proceed against you, as you have made yourself sufficiently a party in detaining his property. I would advise him not to do such injustice to himself and to society, as to make the least sacrifice to obtain the check, If any poor person found it, and will restore it, then I will take into consideration the subject of giving a trifle to the finder ; but not a farthing should ever go through the hands of Mr. Moses.—(A laugh.) THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1834. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR AFFRAY.—As the business of this office was about to close on Saturday afternoon, two gentlemen, accompanied by a policeman, came before Messrs. DYER and CHAMBERS, the sitting magistrates, one of them hav ing a charge of assault to prefer against the other. The complainant appeared with one of the tails of his frock-coat minus, and the defendant exhibited symptoms of very con siderable excitement. Mr. DYER inquired of the policeman if he had any evi dence to give in the matter ? Policeman C 53, said he knew nothing more than that he had been informed the de fendant had committed an assault on the complainant, who was in his gig, and that he had torn one of the tails off his coat. The complainant then stated that he was in a pony chaise, driving through Berkeley-square, about half an hour previous, when the defendant, who was walking, ac companied by two younr , females, " halloed" to him,and he pulled up. Th e defendant' asked him to give him his ad dress, to which complainant replied, he had not the plea sure of knowing who it was that made the demand. The defendant answered, that had nothing to do with the case, and insisted upon havint , his address ; the defendant added that he w as th e f r i en d o f Colonel Lawtie, and he must have his card before he left him, at the same time laying hold of .the pony with the view of stopping the animal. Complain ant attempted to drive on, upon which the defendant laid hold of the tail of his coat and tore it off he (the defen dant), being thrown down in consequence of the horse going forward. Defendant (vehemently)—Did you not raise the whip to me ? Complainant—No, I did not. - The Magistrates requested the defendant to moderate his anger, and to give his explanation of the affair. Defendant—l am Colonel Grant, and a friend to Colonel Lawtie, who is an old man, between 70 and SO years of age, between whom and the complainant some quarrel has occurred. My old friend Colonel Lawtie has been as saulted barbarously several times by a monster as he has been walking in the public streets, and on his mentioning the treatment he had received to me, I told him I was sorry I had not been present on those occasions. As I was walking with a young lady and my daughter through I3erkeley-square this day, the young lady pointed out the defendant, who was in a chaise, and told me •he was the man who had so grossly treated Colonel Lawtie. I imme diately went up to him, with the sole view, upon my oath and honour, as a public man, for I did not wish the name of any parties to be lugged before the public, of telling him that a warrant was out against him, and that if he gave me his address, and promised not to molest the poor gentleman again, the matter would not be proceeded with ; but before Iliad time to explain, he lashed his horse and me furiously, and as the horse went on I was thrown against the rails, and being naarly stunned, I caught hold of the first thing I could to save myself, which happened to be the complain ant's coat tail. I was thrown down on the ground, and the coat tail was left in my hand. Complainant—Did I not stop my horse when you beckoned to me ? Defendant—l took off my- hat cour teously to you when I asked for your address ; and s?eing you put your hand in your pocket, I thought it was for the purpose of giving in , . your card ; but you drove off sud denly, and I was obliged to lay hold of whatever came in my way. Mr. DYER asked if the complainant had any witnesses? James Whitnell, carpenter, said he saw the transaction ; and though the complainant did not strike the defendant with his whip, he was of opinion he ought to have done so pretty " loudly." Mr. CHAMBERS—This is not St. Monday, man. Have you not been drinking? Witness—l'll own to have taken a glass or two. The daughter of Colonel Grant, who was walking in his c ompany when the affair oc curre d, camp f orwar d and said, when the defendant was pointed out by a young lady who was walking with her father, her father beckoned to him ; and on the complainant pulling up, took off his hat, and asked for his address ; the answer of the complainant wit ness could not hear, but she saw him whip her father over the shoulders as hard as he could. Colonel Grant informed the Magistrates that the young lady was present ;., but he did not wish to have her name transpire, as it wonld be exceedingly distressing to her friends to know that it had been necessary for her to appear at the police office. Mr. CHAMBERS—There is a warrant out against you, S!r (to the complainant,) and, therefore, it will be necessary for you to tell your address before you quit this office. Complainant—My name is Felix Whitmore, and I live at No. 43, Bridge-place, Harrow-road. Mr. CHAMBERS—What are you ? Complainant—No thing at all. Colonel Lawtie knows my family intimately, and he must be acquainted with ni y address. Colonel Lawtie has grossly assaulted me several times ; and I was obliged to proceed against him when in Paris, for spitting i n my face. Colonel Lawtie then made an ample apology before three judges. Mr. DYER remarked, the Bench could know nothing judicially of the disagreements betwixt the complainant, and Colonel Lawtie ; and as Colonel Lawtie was not present, it would be better to abstain from all allusion to them until the warrant was heard. Colonel Grant declared he was entirely ignorant of the merits of the quarrel between the parties, his object in ac costing the defendant being merely with a view of pacifica tion. The complainant having re-asserted that he did not whip Colonel Grant intentionally, and that Colonel Grant tore off his coat tail in the attempt to stop him, The MAGISTRATES allowed Mr. Whitmore's groom to be called in. The groom merely said, if the whip did touch Colonel 'Grant, it did not hurt him, and he saw Colonel Grant lay hold of the skirt of his master's coat. Colonel Grant then said he would _call the young lady fon:yard, if the Magistrates would allow her name to be kept secret. The complainant said he did not wish her name to trans pire, and the Bench assented to this arrangement. A young and handsome lady then stepped forward, and, judging from the looks of indignation which she darted at the complainant, she appeared to take a very particular in terest in the matter. t Having whispered her name to the clerk, her evidence went to the complete corroboration of Miss Grant's. The Magistrates expressed themselves satisfied that the assault had not been proved, and therefore dismissed the complaint. Mr. ClumßEßs informed Colonel Grant that their deci sion would prevent any other proceedings in a superior court taking place. The parties then retired. MAR YLEBONE. John Liddle, a Yorkshireman, ;pplied to the sitting ma gistrate for a summons against the Governor of the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, for refusing to pay him two months' wages for picking oakum when in that prison. Mr. SHUTT, the Magistrate, addressing himself to the applicant, said, " But the Governor had to maintain you out of the work." Applicant—Maintain me, indeed ! I had nothing but water-gruel, which costs little or nothing. MAnisTRATE—I am sorry I cannot assist you ; you must apply to the Visiting Justices at the Sessions House. Applicant—God bless you, I thought all Magistrates were Visitine , Justices ; at least I know that I was visited pretty severely at this office for merely giving a policeman a blow which he richly deserved. The applicant, on being again told by the Magistrate that he could not assist him, left the office. WORSHIP-STREET. A middle-aged woman, named Elizabeth Cainteen, was brought before Mr. HosiciNs, charged with having damaged the clothes of several persons by throwing out of her win dow, in the Willow-walk, St. Luke's, a bottle of oil of vitriol on them. The woman said the bottle fell out of her hand accidentally. It having been proved to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, that the thing was intentional, he ordered her to pay 195., the amount of injury done to the clothes of the only person who appeared. In default of payment she was locked up. MR. ASHTON'S MURDER. SCHOFIELD'S COMMITMENT TO CHESTER CASTLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE TEN POUNDS TO THE TWO MOSLEYS AND GARSIDE. Every hour adds to the stock of information calculated to bring to justice the perpetrators of this horrible deed. Saturday, at three o'clock, Schofield was committed to Chester Castle, to take his trial for having paid the 101. to th e Mosleys and Garside, for the murder of the above gen tleman. The investigation lasted for three hours, and was conducted before Richard Simpson, G. Wm. Newton, and Clark, Esqrs. The prisoner had no witnesses, -- although he had given certain persons to understand that he should, on his examination on Saturday, be provided with a great number. The moment his committal was made out, he was despatched, heavily-ironed, in a coach, in the custody of Shaw, the beadle, to Chester Gaol. During his c onfinement at Stockport, he has been completely taciturn —not a word of information, confession, or admis sion, has escaped him. The prisoner who was in the same ward, asserted that for the space of forty-eight hours he (Schofield) never tasted food ; and from his dejected and pitiful appearance to-day (for although the examination was strictly private, I was in a situation to see him well), it is probably correct. The prisoner (Schofield), it is rumoured, has, from the moment of his arrest, denied any acquaintance or even knowledge of either Garside or the Mosleys. Mosley, on his ingress and egress from the magistrate's room in the jail, was evidently much abashed. He could not look at some half-dozen persons who were standing in the ante-room. Two of the late Mr. Ashton's brothers called at the jail a short time previous to Schofield being sent to Chester, but they were not present during any part of the investigation. _ Yesterday (Friday) two other persons were taken into custody, one named Platt, the other Lee, supposed to have been concerned, or to have had some knowledge of the •payment of the money. They were, however, both. discharged. Platt was formerly a workman of Mr. Ash ton's, but discharged a short time previous to the murder, on the ground of his being an active member of the trades' union. Lee was apprehended from some conversation of his about the murder, but against whom there was no other proof. Platt is a very decently dressed man, and now lives by hawking goods. He had on him, when taken into custody, 545. William Mosley could not, it is very generally believed, identify either Lee or Platt. The latter was apprehended from what Garside has said in his kind of second con fession. Platt was taken near Buxton, when out in the way of his trade. This is his second or third apprehen sion connected with this affair. This last ordeal will surely purify him. His money was returned to him on his discharge. William Mosley will not receive any part of the high reward (500/.), inasmuch as it was Garside's declaration, when in Derby jail, that led to his apprehension. The information of William Mosley was not, therefore, strictly original and voluntary._ It is pretty certain that the two culprits will not be exe cuted on Monday. The rumour is false, too, but which had nevertheless gained almost universal credence, that Mr. Ashton had applied to the Secretary of State, praying their execution might take place on the spot of the murder, and that he would pay all expenses connected with it. Garside's wife, on her return from Chester, however incre dible it may appear, was so callous to the fate of her hus band, that she declared, in the presence of many, and in the presence of one who told the writer, that " bad as Ash ton's job was, Garside had done far worse things than that," and, by way of climax, heard, and apparently unmoved too, the trial and condemnation of her husband read from the Stockport paper, at the place where the coach stopped. This, too, I had from the individual who read it. When William Mosley was first committed in Stockport he was seen by an individual, who said, " Bill, thou art sure to be hanged, thou cannot escape," and in reply Mosley said, " Nay, nay, thou'll see I shannot (shall not) be hanged, mind what I say ;" and on the same individual seeing him at Chester on the morning of the trial of his brother and Garside. He called out, " Mr. , I told you I should not be hanged." . This fellow had evidently soon made up his mind to turn evidence. He is a most brutal looking fellow—a boatman to perfection ;is rather broad cast, and stands about five feet six inches. He is now in jail at his own request, fearing justly, if at liberty, the indignation of the people. Joseph Mosley was reckoned in his own neighbourhood the best' scholar in the village, and is reported a fair draughtsman, and is the man no doubt who wrote the letter informing a gentleman at Marple respecting the murder of Nadin at Mellor, in Derbyshire, some six or seven years ago ; but of this more particularly anon. It may be now proper to refer to that part of a second confession of Garside's, in which lie states that Joseph Mos ley was concerned with two others in another murder still more brutal and bloody, if possible, than even Mr. Ash ton's. Some six or seven years ago, a man named N a din was found drowned in the river Goit, at Mellar, in Derby shire. about seven miles from Stockport. The man was found the following morning, and, on examination, was dis covered to have his right arm broken, skull fractured, with other brutal marks on his person, and before being thrown into the river, his murderers had, it appears, the cun ning to take off part of his clothes. These bruises, and this stripping before drowning, were, it is now thought, a scheme of the three desperadoes, in order to decoy the Coroner and Jury into a wrong verdict. And if that was the object, it succeeded. To prove, also, that the drowning was only what had been expected, his wife deposed that he had, to her own knowledge, often attempted to drown herself—and as to the bruises the Jury were satisfied that they had been produced by his having apparently fallen upon a rock in the river, near where he was found. Now the day after Mr. Ashton's murder a Mr. Clayton received an anonymous letter,stating that Nadin was brutally murdered before thrown into the river—that this was done by three men named in the let ter, and which also described particularly the brutal treat ment which Nadin received. The writer of this anonymous letter was publicly called upon to come forward and ex plain. He did not, however, do so, and the consequence at the time was, the Coroner's verdict, after what Nadin's wife had stated, completely lulled suspicion asleep. This Mosley had, it seems, a short time before Nadin's death, been seen in no very equivocal situation with Nadin's wife, and with whom he has since cohabited. In corroboration, too, Schofield's wife has said, and that publicly, that her husband wrote the letter to Mr. Clayton. What a horri ble nest of villains ! If this was one of the " worst things" that Garside's wife said her husband had been guilty of, she was not far from correct, for of the two, it certainly appears to exceed in atrocity. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Cowan, AuG. 16.—The annual review of the Isle of Wight Pilot Vessels took place on Wednesday, according to ancient custom. They came out of harbour according to their respec tive numbers, and proceeded round the several buoys off the Brambles. The muster was not so great as formerly. The Zoe, pilot-vessel, of this port, D. Corke, owner,, ar rived yesterday, having on board the master and crew of the Bremen vessel Marie, N. Ruyter, master, with a cargo of sugar and coffee from Havannah, which vessel was unfortu nately run down and immediately sunk, on the evening of the 13th instant, off Beachy Head, by the American ship Dal matia, from Osterid, bound to St. Übes. Last week was launched from the building yard of Mr. White, sen., a remarkably fine ship of 420 tons register bur den, the property of S. Enderby, Esq., of London, whos e name is pre-eminent in the Southern Fishery, of which he was justly denominated, and has ever since ,been 'esteemed, the founder, having in 1775, and many years previously, carried it on with persevering spirit, when the United States was a co lony of Great Britain. The ship is adapted for the South Sea service, and is the first that has undergone thoroughly Mr. Kyan's process for the prevention of dry rot, every plank and timber having been saturated with his patent solution, which has for it„,obje , c ,, t the durability o f property , an d su b sequent preservatioiL jr - .. e.

Saturday and Tuesd a y, an d a trifling advance has been_lb. tamed. The demand has of late more than kept pace the supply, and the stock of goods in the halls is 10 conse uence very light. Many of the manufacturers are now set tingon fresh hands. There has been a considerable influx o f buyers during the week, both from London and the cou_a; ; in consequence, more business has been don e in th warehouses than has been the case for some time past. BRADFORD.—The operations in our market at present ar; so conflicting, that we find it exceedingly difficult to repo. thereon. The spinners, from the price of wool being so big: during the last two months, have been at a loss how to !ic ii r t In consequence of the merchants not considering it pie the to give the manufacturers the advance which the price el. raw material obliges the spinner to ask for his yarn, the Alaln !" ket has been in a somewhat quiescent state. As we statea a recent report, the prospects of a brisk autumn trade we, ..r 1; probably never more favourable than at present, but t s ' merchants are deterred from purchasing so freely as - th e otherwise would, solely from a tendency to a further ad vance in the market, which they conceive will °Pe ll i unfavourably to a continued demand, and only tend ult mately to embarrass both the manufacturers and spinner!' nevertheless there has been more business do ne clto than during the last two or three weeks. There is . 11° improvemement in the yarn market ; the purc hasers wanting' to buy at lower prices, which the spinners find themselves atern nn. able to Meet, owing to the high price of the raw he So little business has been doing in wool during the wis ee!: that prices are in a great measure nominal. As usual dull trade, reductions are submitted to by some ; but we lieve that holders as yet evince a general disposition to rand; tolerably 'firm. On the other hand, consumers keep th e ., stocks as light as possible, and appear determined to i P lower or stand. HUDDERSFIELD.-The demand in the cloth market to-daiivl e e has been as good as for the last two or three wee ks ; nrt cloth has been sold. The fancy trade continues as g ood as 1 is generally at this season of the year .
