SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is probable that if an entire change of the persons composing the English Ministry were to take place to-morrow, the sensation produced by it would be much less than at any period before the passing of the Reform Bill ; because there is, in the relative position of Government and people, a pretty secure guarantee that the substitution of any one given number of names for another would effect no material alteration in the general policy of the State. Were even a Tory Cabinet to be formed, with the least hope of remain ing for six months in office, it would not carry, nor would it dare to attempt, any measures but such as were approved by public opinion, which, if it has been sometimes disappointed at the incompleteness of those measures, whether introduced or accomplished by the Reform Ministers, has seldom if ever been in sulted by Ministerial acts, directly and outrageously in the teeth of it. In the same manner, though from an opposite cause, a change of Ministry in France has not for two years past been looked upon as an event of any grave importance. The series of Cabinets since Louis Philippe began to reign, has in number— if we are not mistaken—exceeded that of any other equal period since the restoration. There has been an almost incessant shifting of seats and succession of per sons. Yet the tendency and principle of the Govern ment have never sensibly swerved. The march towards military monarchy through civil tools and machinations has experienced little, if any, interruption, because with place there has not been a transfer of real power. As with us, the more intelligent part of the nation is essentially its own Minister. So in France the reign ing Monarch is his own Minister. The puppets may have been new named and dressed, but it is the same hand which has always pulled them. In neither coun try, without a remodelling of the present institutions— of the English, by violence being done to liberty—or of those of France, by violence coming in aid of liberty —can a new list of names in the Gazette work any substantial, much less any elementary, revolution in the policy of the kingdom. Whether therefore Marshal Soult; or Count Mole, or Marshal Gerard, be the new Prime Minister, or let who will be in his tail, the whole affair will, for the present, be little better or worse than the transposition of personages in a pageant of gilded pasteboard. The prompter and manager is the same. As for Marshal Gerard, there is little to be said of him, but that he has always been a brave and liberal soldier, whose humanity needed not his late consistent recommendation of an amnesty for its sponsor. Other wise, that is, in point of intellect, he never in his best days was much above mediocrity, and at the siege of Antwerp he was held to be already worn out. Among the other members of the late Cabinet, Guizot is a man of talent and learning ; and Thiers, a voluble and ready debater ; but Guizot was a weak politician, and it required a good deal more of talent than the lat ter of these gentlemen had credit for, to redeem him from the species of reputation which his other qualities had procured him. The people considered the whole set individually (save only Gerard) with equal indif ference, though it is likely that unless the amnesty which formed the key of the old Marshal's conduct be made a present of by Louis Philippe to his successor, the forthcoming Administration will be even more unpopular than the one whose exit from office may have been presumed to originate in the refusal of a merciful and wholesome measure. Our correspondent expatiates on the " apathy" of France at large to all political occurrences. Is that apathy a fact beyond dispute? We can hardly credit it. Brooding dis content will put on the semblance of apathy, and so will desperation, when each but " bides its time." Certainly there is no proof of public apathy in the temper of the press, or in the reckless and inexorable persecution of that great moral power by the Govern ment—a crusade against mind, as senseless as those against the Saracens, and as barbarous as any freaks of th Inquisition. Where no genuine indifference to the proceedings or policy of a Goveaninent can be sup posed to exist amongst a spirited and restless people, we hold that the semblance of it is far from a satifac tory phenomenon, but one which ought naturally to inspire less confidence than fear. Perhaps a little time may bring some solution of these debated questions.— Times. The erection of the new Houses of Parliament goes on very rapidly, and will be roofed in a week. We are glad to find that those in the direction of the work have not to any extent laid the new work upon the new foundations, of the stability of which there is no doubt they were apprehensive. Those bases of the Painted Chamber and the late House of Lords were allowed to remain as when they supported the Palace of the Confessor ; and it is the opinion of one of the most competent men in the architectural profession, we mean Mr. Adam Lee, that those parts are sound, and fit to have a superstructure raised upon them. We are glad to record this gentleman's opinion, because, having been clerk of the works for twenty-five years, it became a principal part of his duty to inspect every portion of the structures under his care ; and with his well-known capacity for such an office, joined to his love of exploring the hidden treasures of that splendid era which may be called the age of sound prin ciple, solid and beautiful architecture in England, we rest satisfied that his opinion is a just one. We have been thus careful in following up our sources of information upon this very momentous point, to gratify the wishes of several Members of Parliament, and their families and friends, who are naturally anxious to be truly informed as to the real condition and chance of stability which the new camp erections may possess, and because a great degree of alarm exists in the public mind, arising from a total want of confidence in the contrivances now on foot to run up two Houses of Parliament, and therefore we have instituted those inquiries that justice may be done to every one concerned. This alarm, which so com pletely pervades all classes, must arise from the in stinctive but rational perceptions of the human mind, one of the most useful properties with which man is endowed, as by its instinctive power he is enabled to foresee and avoid great dangers, without waiting for a mathematical demonstration, which would probably come too late to save his life ; but whether this great apprehension of danger be fully justified, or only so in a minor degree, we do say that a wise man would not treat it lightly and whether it is decent or just to persevere in the expenditure of the public money upon contrivances which the public are of opinion may become the tombs of both the legislative bo dies, " at one fell swoop," requires very serious con sideration. It is true that the danger may be overrated in the public mind, but there it is fixed, and we doubt much that it can be removed by what is now going on upon the premises, and it must be allowed that in all similar cases too much alarm cannot be injurious, but too much confidence has often very deplorable re sults. The terror that exists upon this subject arises, we believe, from the bad impression made by the reck less haste and manner in which those vampings have been commenced upon the yet ignited ruins of the late structures, and the indecent precipitation with which this has been set about has quite destroyed all confidence in the capacity and judgment of those en gaged in this hopeful project ; therefore, to persevere, in the face of reason and conviction, to set up places in which the Members that might attend would always go " equipped for a start," seems to our finite judg ment sufficiently preposterous. With a profound ig norance of the worthy necromancers who intend, by a golden shower, to raise suspected man-traps, we are also quite at a loss in what quarter to direct the general admiration to the Prospero, whose wand " can give to airy nothings a local habitation and a name," but we must find out this modest retiring Hamadryad, and draw him from his sylvan retreats to feaq the longing eyes of an admiring and grateful nation. But in the mean while, we wish to call the particular attention of all the persons . of taste and right feeling,whether in or out of Par 'lament, to the state in which those splendid remains of genius, science, and exquisite taste, are now left quite neglected—to the fury of the elements—we mean St. Stephen's Chapel, the Chapter House, and its beau teous Oratory, as well as the matchless cloisters which surround the quadrangle between the Right Hon. the , S'peaker's: house and the late House of Commons. When the ponderous and furiously ignited mass form ing the roof of St. Stephen's Chapel came thundering down upon the ancient vaulted crypt, which is the roof of - the Speaker's public dining room, an awful sound WAS heard like what has keen described as issuing from the caverns of Etna, and the earth around shook to a considerable distance ; all feared that the crypt was gone, but it was not so ; this massive, but elegant structure, was built by men who understood the true principles of mathematical and mechanical science, and also of that other most important branch of archi tectural knowledge called " construction." In this sense it may truly be said " there were giants in those days ;" but in these days there are pigmies in archi tecture, with colossal conceit of their own dear abilities, and the consequences are experienced an nually in wasteful expenditure and the tumbling down of our modern public edifices ; and what is worse even than that, is the indifference or malignant feeling with which some, who are styled architects par excellence, regard those transcendent monuments of the golden age of architecture in England. We hope such is not the feeling of any of the Court architects now engaged in the vamping contrivances. Yet why have not temporary roofs been placed over those valuable buildings, and the rubbish with which they are loaded cleared away ? " Oh, no," says one of those learned Thebans, " it's the weight of the rub bish that keeps the ancient work from falling in." By the same rule the heavier you load a horse the less danger there is of breaking his back ! Having heard Sir Oracle pronounce this paradox, we give it ; and others can prove with us. After such a sample, what shall we say of the quality of some public men's brains ? The man, no doubt, was ignorant of the principles upon which these beautiful and permanent structures were formed ; and possibly might feel some uneasiness at seeing them frowning with majestic grandeur at the lath-and-plaster and pasteboard palaces of modern days. We hope some Members of either House, who have good taste and affection for those beautiful objects, will use their influence and authority to secure, for the present at least, those matchless works of early British genius.—Morning Herald. The Standard presumes very much on the ignorance of its readers, when, in order to frighten us with the immense display of force at the Down meeting, it persists in making the numbers present 80,000. " The Globe's correspondent (says the Standard) has the front to assert that the Presbyterians of Ulster concur with all the measures of the Irish government, except , the education plan—that the Irish Presbyterians are in fact Whigs, such as Whigs now are—and this in the face of the Downshire meeting, at which, as the Times knows, at least 40 or 50,000 persons, and as we believe, nearly 80,000 persons, attended from one county, to remonstrate against the measures of the Whig government ! which 40 or 50,000 or 80,000, as the case way be, must have con tained a fair proportion of Presbyterians." We have already demonstrated the absurdity of the Standard's estimate. The county of Down, in 1831, contained 352,571 inhabitants. Mr. Rickman's table makes the proportion of male population, in 10 millions, between 15 and 60, just 2,681,000, or 26 per cent. of the whole—say one-fourth. The whole male population of the county of Down between infancy and decrepitude, amount only to 88,000 — about the Standard's estimate of the numbers present at the Hillsborough meeting. Were all the tradesmen that day at Hillsborough—all the masons, carpenters, shoemakers, tailors, butchers, weavers, ploughmen, publicans, shopkeepers, &c. &c. ? But we are told the men were all as formidable as the heroes who fought under Wellington at Waterloo. We will allow nature to work wonders for the sake of the cause of Protestantism in Ulster ; every man born shall be brave, robust, fit to handle a broad-sword or charge effectively with a musket and bayonet. However, age circumscribes heroism ; and if we take the men be tween twenty and forty, they amount, out of ten mil lions, to 1,348,000 ; and that would give, for the county of Down population, just 47,000 heroes. If we take all between twenty and fifty, we shall only have 64,000 Protestant heroes. Really the Standard ought to use its privilege of exaggerating with a little more discretion. By making too much of the thing, he only lowers what after all is, no doubt, a very formi dable body. The Dublin Evening. Post, alluding to this subject, observes—" The Mail—but our contem porary is in these cases a most notorious bouncer— says 75,000, be the same more or less—that is to say, about ten thousand more than all the men of the county. Saunders, another Orange authority, says 28,000. The Northern Whig admits there was a great crowd, but calculates the number at 10 or 12,000. This agrees with our Hillsborough correspondent's account. After all, it is matter of little consequence—a thousand or two here or there—the matter is only mentioned for the purpose of showing the brazen and silly exaggera tions of the faction." If 15,000 were present, that was a great assemblage ; and we are sure that more than 20,000 men could not in any case be brought to gether in the county . Down without drawing from the neighbouring counties. The Standard says, and says truly, that the Catholic system " erects within society a human authority higher than the social sovereignty." It is certainly true that the Church of Rome lays claim to some of the attributes of tem poral sovereignty ; and we know that during the French revolution, and the revolutions of the Penin sula, the influence of the Court of Rome was fre quently directed to excite opposition to measures to tally unconnected with religion itself—namely, mea sures of a purely temporal nature ; such as regulating the share of public money which ought to be paid to the clergy. So sensible are most Governments of the difficulty of determining the exact boundaries of the spiritual authority, that they have deemed it advisable to enter into concordats with the Court of Rome. In advocating the indispensable necessity of placing the Catholics and Protestants on the same footing, and call ing out for a more equitable distribution of the ecclesi astical property of Ireland, we by no means wish to say that we do think it would be advantageous to have all the Irish Protestants. But Protestants they are not ; without the interposition of a miracle, Protestants they never will be. Besides, though it is natural that a Protestant should be convinced that his religion is better in a political sense than the Catholic religion, that forms no valid reason for depriving the Catholic, who thinks otherwise, of his right to equal justice. The Catholic, it is clear, will only submit to the as cendancy, because he cannot successfully resist it. And it becomes a question with the Protestant, whether he would assert a superiority over his Catholic fellow-citizen, which must be a constant cause of animosity, merely because the claims of the Pope are not in strict accordance with the rights of temporal sovereignty, and there is a possibility that the Pope may sometime or other use his influence against the Government of this country. But, besides, the as cendancy claimed places the Catholic population in precisely the situation in which the Court of Rome has the greatest poWer over them. Were the most perfect equality to prevail, and the State to make no distinction in treatment between Catholic and Protes tant—to consider the ecclesiastical property a fund for the payment of the clergy of both religions, accord ing to the extent of service rendered, the Catholic clergy would have a powerful motive for support ing so just and equitable a Government. Who ever heard of disaffection being strengthened by just and equitable treatment ? It has been urged by the Standard, which knows well the use that may be made of abstractions, that no inference can be drawn in fa vour of the good conduct of the Catholics here from their good conduct on the continent. " The Globe," it says "asks How does it happen that throughout Germany, from Prussia down to Baden, Catholics can not be distinguished from Protestants in any func tion of citizens or subjects ?' Very strange, if they could be distinguished in any function of citizens, where all are stripped of every right of citizenship by an overbearing despotism. No less strange if they could be distinguished in any function of subjects, where all subjects have but one, and that the lowest function— implicit submission to an absolute prince. How does it happen, again, that there is such harmony between Protestant and Catholic Christians ? ' asks the Globe. We reply by another question—How does it hap pen that galley slaves keep the stroke of the oar so regularly, and pull so loyally together at the commander's whistle ? The principle of harmony is the same in both cases ; the same co-operative prin ciple, which, in the shape of a good stout iron chain, used, if it does not still, to combine and harmonize the exertions of many good Roman Catholics, no doubt, and some so-so Protestants and middling Jews, .4 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1834 in the yards of Woolwich, Portsmouth, and Plymouth. Under favour, we never wrote such nonsense as that men, who are not masters of their conduct in the smallest matter, contrary to the will of the Sovereign, could be made, by the Roman Catholic superstition, or any other superstition, to act against either their Sovereign or their fellow-subjects. During the greater part of the last century, the Roman Catholics of Ireland were good friends, good neighbours, good subjects, and good men—for exactly the same reason that renders the Roman Catholics of Germany such at present. Their hands were tied up from doing mischief —their priests had, therefore, no motive for inspiring them with evil dispositions." What is Despotism ? Destutt de Tracy observes, " that the word despotic designates an abuse, a vice which is more or less in all Governments, because ail human institutions are im perfect, like their authors ; but it is not the name of a particular form of society, of a particular kind of Government. Wherever the established law is without force, and yields to the will of one man or of several, then we have despotism, op pression, abuse of authority." The late boroughmon gering oligarchy was not a despotism, because it go verned according to a law. The laws, indeed, were made in its interest. The King of Prussia governs as strictly according to law as the boroughmongers did; the law is made for the interest of all. But he may act otherwise—so might every government. In Prus sia, arms are in the hands of every man, and the people obey the Government and are attached to it, because they are satisfied that it is just and wise, liberal and enlightened. A Representative Government, like ours, would be better, such as ours will be when we have settled accounts with the Lords, because it provides better against possible abuses. But it is an abuse of language to call a Govern ment despotic which strictly enforces the law, and places arms in the hands of every subject. This our boroughmongers durst not have done. Once only they did it, for a short time, during the terror of a foreign invasion. It is quite clear that Protestants and Catholics live together peaceably in Germany, not because the Government constrains both, but because both are satisfied that it is for their advantage to be on good terms with each other. There are, in the case of Ireland, old hatreds from difference of race, and the feeling of the one that they have profited by wrong, and the other that they have suffered from wrong ; and this gives fierceness to the religious dif ferences. But religious ascendancy will not dispose the Catholics and Protestants to entertain more kindly feelings towards each other. Force is the argument of the Orangemen ; and that force unfortunately is to be maintained at the expense of England.—Morning Chronicle. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 7. SHERRAT V. BENTLEY. Mr. WRIGHT was heard in this case on tha part of the heir-at-law, contending that the bequests were void from uncertainty, and that the whole of the property must go as if no will had been made. dum on the back of the title deed, which he (Mr. Wilcox) thought might be considered as implying in itself a declara tion of trust, or. as a contract to execute a deed, in terms analogous to the memorandum itself. The Learned Gentle man then proceeded to refer to the evidence filed in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr. PEMBERTON, on behalf of the defendants, said, the real question came to this :—First, whether it was estab lished to the satisfaction of the Court whether money belonging to the plaintiff had been laid out in the purchase of the George and Dragon ; and, secondly, whether the plaintiff had a security upon the estate of the testator for the amount of the money so laid out, giving to the creditors the benefit of the improvements the testator had made. As regarded the question of costs, he submitted that the de fendants had been brought here, and that they could not have properly or conscientiously administered the trusts of the will if they had paid the plaintiff her claim without first taking the directions of the Court, consequently he hoped that the costs of all parties would be paid out of the general fund. Judgment postponed. COURT OF KING'•S BENCH, Nov. 7. The LORD CHANCELLOR then gave judgment. The question to be decided was whether a testator who had given the whole of his property to his wife and her heirs for ever in the first part of his will, and in a subsequent part divided it among certain legatees at his wife's decease, intended to give his wife the property absolutely, or only a life estate. His Lordship, after taking an elaborate review of the cases which bore on the point of contradictory be quests, was of opinion that the judgment of the Master of the Rolls was right, and that the testator intended to give his wife only a life estate. No doubt the will was drawn up by a person who was worse than ignorant, for he knew how to make use of the words " heirs, executors, and assigns," and the word " lapse," but he did not know how to use them in their proper place ; and he had, therefore, done much mischief and created great expense. If a man made such foolish wills, his estate must pay for it ; and the costs must, therefore, come out of the residue, and be as between solicitor and client. Mr. TINNEY having suggested that this latter part of the order was somewhat contrary to the practice of the Court, His LORDSHIP thought the costs should be, in common justice, as between solicitor and client ; but he would see the Vice-Chancellor about it before he decided the matter finally. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 7. His HONOUR continued to take cause petitions to-day. CLARK V. CAMMAN. This bill was filed for specific performance of a contract against an unwilling purchaser of a house in Aldermanbury, which was described in the conditions of sale as having a convenient cellarage and warehouse in the basement. The approach to the cellar was through a trap-door cut in the floor. To complete the contract, the vendor required the license of the ground landlords, the Fellows and Scholars of Jesus College, Cambridge, which was granted upon con dition of repairing the floor and timbers of the ground story, and making them good where cut away. The only ques tion was whether this condition meant that the present openings to the cellar should be closed, which it was con tended was the literal meaning of the words ; but the sur veyor of the College stated that be did not use them in that strict sense, and that he only meant that certain exposed joists should be secured. If the cellar should be closed, the purchaser insisted the nature of the premises would be altogether unfit for the purposes for which he purchased them. His HONOUR said it was a great pity the parties should be going on in litigation as to the meaning of these words where it could be so easily ascertained by inquiring what sense the College attached to the terms of the condition. At present he was satisfied with the statement of the Col lege surveyor, and should decree a specific performance. SETON V. BLUNT. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN (with whom was -Mr. KINDER SLEY) stated that this petition sought to throw upon Sir Charles Blunt a considerable loss, occasioned by the failure of his agents, Cruttenden and Co., in India. Lady Seton, his sister, was entitled for life to the income of a part of the estate of Sir Alexander Seton, with a power of selecting the mode of investment. Sir Charles Blunt was executor of Sir Alexander Seton. An order of Court was obtained that Lady Seton should elect how certain funds standing on the security of the Bengal Government should be invested. She elected to have the money laid out on real security in India, and the order directed the Indian paper to be sold, and the money laid out accordingly as the agents of Lady Seton and Sir Charles Blunt should approve. Sir Charles Blunt immediately sent out a power of attorney authorising the sale and investment. The money was realised, and was in the hands of Cruttenden and Co., who had acted impro perly in the transaction. But Lady Seton did not appoint her agent for some months after, and even then his powers did not extend to investment. Lady Seton now complained that had she been informed immediately that Sir Charles Blunt was sending out his power of attorney the money would not have been lost, as it might immediately have been invested. His HONOUR without hearing Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. COCKERELL decided that the insolvency was a surprise upon all parties, and that Sir Charles Blunt was not in the least to blame, and dismissed the petition with costs. It was reported that Sir Edward Sugden this morning presented Mr. Girdleston, the treasurer of the Bar library, with a cheque for one hundred guineas towards its re storation. ROLLS COURT —Nov. 7. WHITTAKER V. ROBERTS. Mr. WILCOX appeared in this case on behalf of the plaintiff. He stated the facts of the case. About the year 1794 a Miss Susannah Frederick gave to Mr. Whit taker, for the benefit of his daughter Miss Anne Whit taker, the present plaintiff, a sum of money, which she called a lady's fortune. The plaintiff in the bill alleged that the sum given was .5001., but this was denied by the other side, who contended that it only amounted to between ninety and a hundred pounds. However, both parties agreed that some sum had been given, and also that it was expended in the purchase of a cottage, which was con verted into a public-house called the George and Dragon. Mr. Whittaker subsequently purchased some land conti guous to the George and Dragon, which he pulled down and erected an entirely new building, called the New Inn. By a memorandum written on the back of the title-deed of the public-house, dated the Bth of July, 1794, Mr. Whit taker, in consideration of natural love and affection, and for various other causes, demised to his daughter, Anne Whit taker, the present plaintiff, all the premises in the deed men tioned, her heirs and assigns for ever, for their own proper use and benefit. Mr. Whittaker until his death, which oc curred in 1826, enjoyed this property, and by his will, dated the 20th of April, 1825, devised all his property in trust to Mr. Roberts, and to Mr. J. H. Jones, to be sold for the benefit of his creditors. The trustees, according to the terms of the trust, contracted to sell the property so devised, and upon Mr. Frederick Whittaker, the testator's son, produc ing the title deed, they for the first time became aware of the before-mentioned memorandum. The sale was, how ever, completed, Miss Whittaker reserving against the pro ceeds of the estate the same rights that sh e con t en d e d s h e possessed against the estate itself. The real point to be de cided in this case was, what was the value of the memoran- BROWN V. BARLOW AND ANOTHER. Sir JAMES SCARLETT moved for a rule in this case to show cause why a new trial should not be had or a nonsuit entered. The question was as to the sea-worthiness of a vessel upon which a policy of insurance had been effected. The vessel was a North American, and was bound for this country. It appeared she had met with an accident, and went to the bottom. It was contended by the defendants that the vessel, previously to the accident, was not sea-wor thy. Sir James Scarlett raised three objections to the ver dict, and the Court granted a rule upon the whole. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7. FURNIVAL V. FLETCHER. This was an action tried last Term in the City of Lon don, when a verdict was found for the defendant. Mr. Ser geant WILDE this morning moved for a Rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the verdict. The plaintiff was confined in Horsemonger-lane gaol for a debt of 701. incurred in France, and from his having formerly effected his escape from a French prison, and a communi cation being made to the gaoler of Horsemonger-lane pri son, he suspected that the plaintiff intended to escape, and he, therefore, subjected him to very strict confinement, placing him in the strong room on the felons' side for several months. The plaintiff brought his action against the then Sheriff, and the Lord Chief Justice then left it to the Jury on two points,• namely, whether the gaoler had reasonable grounds that the plaintiff intended to effect his escape, and whether the coercion was excessive. The Jury found for the defendant. The COURT granted a Rule Nisi. PALACE COURT, Nov. 7. (Before CHARLES KNOWLES, ESQ.) DANGERFIELD V. REEVES. This was an action for defamation of character and false imprisonment. The damages were laid at nineteen guineas. The defendant is a grocer residing in Hackney, and the plaintiff a shoemaker living near to him, and on the 15th of August last plaintiff entered the defendant's shop and pur chased some articles. Defendant was not at home, but his wife served him. He went out of the shop witheut paying for them. Her husband came in soon after, when she in formed him of the circumstance. He pursued the plaintiff and gave him in custody to a policeman on a charge of felony, and of obtaining goods under false pretences. Plain tiff, however, denied the charge, and stated that he thought that Mrs. Reeves would have given him credit for the arti cles and put them down to his account.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 61. 10s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Thomas Turner and John King, two well dressed men, were brought before Mr. MINSHULL by Fletcher the officer, on a Bench warrant, which had been issued in consequence of a bill of indictment having been found against them at the Sessions for keeping a common gaming-house in St. James's-street. The prosecutor was a young gentleman named Michael Leeke. He identified the defendants, and they were or dered to find bail. They were unable to give the necessary security, and were conveyed to prison by the police van. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Abraham Jacobs, a sprucely-dressed Jew, an apprentice to Mr. Pollock, a tailor in Goodman's-fields, attended before Mr. WALKER, and a County Magistrate, to support a warrant which he had taken out a day or two before against his mistress, of whom he swore he went in bodily fear. From his statement it appeared that some months since he purchased the sixteenth of a ticket in the Glasgow Lottery ; but shortly afterwards he regretted having speculated his money on such an uncertainty, and frequently solicited his master or some of the family to join him in the risk, but they all refused to do so, and he was compelled to keep the ticket himself until the drawing, when it was drawn a prize of 10,0001. Finding that this was the case, one or two of the members of his master's family endeavoured to persuade him that they had actually joined him in the ticket, and were in consequence entitled to their proportions of the prize. He, however, would not have it, and he received himself 6251., which sum a friend of his had placed in the Bank of England to his account and to his benefit. Since that happy event, and on account of his refusing any of the family participation in his good fortune, he had been treated very indifferently by them. His master's eldest son frequently struck him, and his mistress spat into his coffee, and threatened him in such a manner that he went in bodily fear of her. Mr. Pollock, the master of the complainant, attended and handed to the Bench a medical certificate, setting forth that Mrs. Pollock was unable from indisposition to attend. Mr. Pollock went on to say that the charge against his wife, who was a very old, infirm, and ailing lady, was most unjust, and concluded by observing that there was no stand ing or bearing with the complainant since his accession to fortune, and that, in fact, he had done just as he liked. The Magistrates ordered the warrant to stand until Mrs. Pollock was able to attend, but expressed a hope that in the interim the business might be amicably settled. UNION-HALL, Yesterday, John IVood r#, the driver of a go-cart, was brought before Mr. MURRAY, and one of the county Ma gistrates, charged on suspicion of having been one of the parties concerned in the outrage and robbery committed some nights ago on the person of a private belonging to the Woolwich division of Marines, in the fields adjoining Bat tersea. The case excited great interest, and the office was crowded during the day with persons from the neighbour hood of the place where the outrage was perpetrated. The evidence of James Laster, Samuel Palmer, a police man of the V division, James Moore, Thomas Dance, a private watchman at Battersea, went to prove the facts of this case, as detailed in The Sun of Thursday last, and the circumstance of the prisoner driving a grey horse, deposed to as the colour of the animal in the go-cart which contained the men who committed the outrage, was the principal ground of suspicion. Policeman 175 L stated that he was constantly on duty at the Elephant and Castle, and that he knew the prisoner. Amongst the go-darts ply ing at that place the prisoner was the only man who drove a horse answering the description of the one mentioned. The prisoner's solicitor said that he should be in a condi tion to prove that there were three or four go-cart men on the stand who drove grey horses, and contended that there was no evidence to criminate his client. Mr. MURRAY said that there was a prima facie case against the accused, and that he should hold him in custody until Cully was in a fit state to be brought up from Wool wich to give his evidence. The prisoner was then remanded for further examination. THE LATE FIRE AT ROTHERHITHE. Owing to its having been made known that an inquest would be held yesterday at the Bell Tavern, Rotherhithe, on the bodies of the unfortunate persons who were burned at the late dreadful fire at Rotherhithe, the immediate neighbourhood was densely crowded previously to, and dur ing the inquiry, chiefly by the afflicted friends of the de ceased, and by those of the poor fe ma l es , w h o , a l t h oug h they narrowly escaped with their lives, unfortunately lost every particle of property which they p ossesse d ; t h e i r ut most efforts, connected with the laud a bl e exert i ons o f t h e firemen and police , having proved incompetent to save their little means from the ravages of the destroying fire. The scene was rendered the more impressive through the presence of m . any of the p oor women w h o h a d b een burnt out, wandering in tears about the ruins ; some of them with infants in their arms, and others with helpless little ones, crying and crowding around them. About five o'clock, the hour appointed for holding the inquest, Mr. Carter, the Coroner, and Jurors assembled, and proceeded to view the remains of the bodies of the un fortunate deceased, which lay in the parish bone-house. Three persons have fallen victims t o thi s aw f u l c alamity, viz., William Fox, aged 60 ; Thomas Scales, aged 24 ; and Fox's wife ; but as the latt er was remove d to S t . Th o mas's Hospital, the inquest was held only on the bodies of the two men. The sight which they presented was truly ap palling a • the body of the man F ox h av i ng b een re d uc ed as it were to a cinder, while that of the young man Scales was changed to an almost indistinguishable mass by the action of the fire. On the return of the Jury from viewing the bodies, a lengthened examination of witnesses took place. The evidence having been closed, the Jury said that there could be but one opinion as to the cause of the fire, namely, that it was purely accidental ; but as to the manner in which it originated they had no evidence to prove. LOSS OF THE TASMANIA, OF WHITBY. On Wednesday morning week, the sister and aged mo ther of Captain John Mennel, of Whitby, were thrown into great distress, by the arrival of an account that the above named vessel, of which he was master and part owner, was lost on the coast of Holland. It seems she was overtaken, on her homeward passage, by a tremendous gale, on Friday, Oct. 17, whilst off New Deep, near the Hayse. Breakers were discovered to leeward at two o'clock P.M., but there was no possibility of keeping the ship .off the shore. By the combined violence of the wind and the force of the sea, the vessel was carried over a reef, on which it seems vessels are generally lost that touch it, and plunged into deep water within it. In going over, she was struck by a heavy sea, which stove in part of her stern and her dead lights, washed the boats, and almost every thing else upon deck, overboard, and nearly filled her with water. They then let go their anchors, but found the ship would not ride. The top masts were cut away, but neither did this relieve her, and she parted her last cable at six o'clock P.M., and was imme diately thrown upon the beach. Here the crew remained, lashed to the rigging for about five hours, during which pe riod it seems Captain Mennel, the cook, and one seaman perished. The writer of the account, (a son of one of the owners) and other two of the crew, were washed overboard, but providentially regained the deck, by means of the wreck which was hanging over the side of the ship. After waiting in this perilous situation the length of time above-named, the survivors were rescued from their most deplorable con dition by means of ropes from the shore, their lives being mercifully preserved, but not without the most strenuous exertions having been made by the people on land. They were hospitably received and entertained at a farm-house on the coast. It is stated that the cargo, and also the princi part of the ship's materials, will be saved.—York Courant. UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The dispatches by the George Washington, which came to hand at a late hour last evening, mention that Mr. Livingston, the American Ambassador at the Court of the Tuilleries, has solicited his Government to be recalled, from a despair of success in carrying into effect the treaty of indemnifica tion with France. Although the King of the French gave the most satisfactory indications of regret at the rejection by the Chamber of Deputies, during the last session, of the claims of the American nation, yet it is stated that the present cabinet of that country seriously contemplate a war with France for the purpose of enforcing the provi sions of that treaty. It is therefore expected that the next session of Congress will open with a " war message." This war, although ostensibly undertaken for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the treaty, is in reality no thing more than an attempt to give a momentary popu larity to a sinking administration. Such a war is repre sented to have been some time past in contemplation by the President and his immediate friends. Mr. Van Buren is declared to be most anxious to. have a brush with France, in the hope of thereby obtaining an easy passport to the Presidential chair. It should be remarked, however, that this statement has its origin in the oppo sition papers, and those acquainted even remotely with trans-Atlantic politicians, need not be told that the Ame rican newspaper scribes are not very fastidious in their statements, when the object to be attained is the odium of a political opponent. Preparations were everywhere making for the approach ing elections, the struggle during which will doubtless be fierce and protracted. Both parties appear confident of success, and bent upon victory. The inspectors of polls have been appointed, and the various newspapers are filled with the details of meetings and strings of resolutions, ema nating from the respective belligerents. Not the least amusing feature in these accounts is the incessant and tor tuous use which Brother Jonathan, in his domestic poli tical squabbles, makes of our phrases of Whig and Tory. The Jackson party are dignified by the latter term, which appears to be even more unpopular and odious than amongst ourselves. Mr. Charles Mathews, after an absence o fourteen years from America, had arrived in New York. Some ex tremely flattering notices of his general merits as an actor, have appeared in the papers, which, preceding as they do, his appearance at the Park Theatre, are likely to be bene ficial to him. There is, however, another actor, who per forms on another stage, against whom the most strong and indignant execrations are hurled by the opposition papers. This is no less a personage than the celebrated William Cobbett, whose recent Life of Andrew Jackson appears to have excited the most bitter hatred in the breasts of those persons opposed to the policy of that statesman. The long vocabulary of hard names appears to have been literally ex hausted in describing what are termed his atrocities. Miss Martineau's arrival in America is described as having produced a considerable sensation in that country. She intends passing the present winter in Washington, where she will be looked upon as a " lion." From thence she intends visiting New Orleans, with the intention of returninc , by the Mississippi, thr o u g h th e W es t ern St a t es to New York, so as to be in Boston during the next sum mer. Her powerful style of writing, so well adapted to the grave and complex subjects of political economy, is spokn of with much warmth, and in addition to the admi ration of her literary talents, the personal charms of the lady are alluded to in extremely gallant and flattering terms. Great horror is expressed at the miserable caricature sketch of her which appeared in Fraser's Magazine. The Mayor of Philadelphia has offered a reward of .500 dollars for the apprehension of the murderer of Perry, who was assassinated in the streets of that city during an election, as stated last night. The deportation of slaves from the United States of America is exciting some attention. By the j o i n t ex e r tion s of the African lonization Societies of New York and Philadelphia, one expedition has been carried into effect, conveying slaves from that country to Liberia, and another expedition was to have sailed on the 20th of last month. The project has been taken up with apparently a good deal of spirit. _ The accounts of the cotton crops in the Southern States of America, brought by this packet, are unfavourable. In consequence of this information, a good deal of business has been experienced to-day in the Liverpool Cotton-market, the article sustaining an advance of id. per lb., with great likelihood of an advance in the price. The freights from America to England are low and dull. The regular packets do not fill even at the most reduced rates. Bills on England, previously to the sailing of the packets, were at a premium of 71 per cent. ; on France, sf. 321 c. ; Holland, 39 cents. per gelder ; United States Bank Stock, 1081 109 c. Some idea of the great reduction in the average price of wheat during the last year (says a correspondent in the Devizes Gazette) may be gathered from the fact, that a farmer of this neighbourhood, who rents his farm at a corn rent (that is, according to the average price of wheat in De vizes market), and which farm consists of about 700 or 800 acres, 200 acres only being corn land, will have to pay three hundred pounds less rental this year than he did last year. NEW METHOD OF WEAVING STUFFS.—The demand for six-quarter stuff pieces was so great during the last summer, that to meet the exigency the weavers of Great Horton, Clayton, Thornton, and other places around Brad ford, were obliged to have their looms enlarged : subsequently the demand has gradually decreased, and as scarcely any but narrow pieces can now be disposed of, a novel plan has been resorted to, namely, to weave two pieces in one pair of looms. The plan adopted! is the following :—Two distinct warps are placed in the looms; a division is made in the fly-board, and two additional spindle wires and picking bands are attached; thus two shuttles are plied in the place of one ; -but the break ing of the wefts is soirregular, and the loss of time in rectify ing them so great, that in all probability the experiment will be abandoned. In six -quarter warps, a reed is left out of the slay, so that, when the piece is finished, it may be cut down the middle; but this is a novel experiment; it was tried some years back in cotton weaving, and was found not to answer, and in all probability it will not be more successful in worsted weaving.—Halifax Express. CHINESE TRANSLATION.—The following adver tisement was issued in China by Captain Putnam, of the Ame rican brig Nabob. It was afterwards translated and published in the Chinese language, and presented the curious difference between the Chinese and English idioms : ADVERTISEMENT. " Absconded last night, from the American brig Nabob, Sam. Butler, the cook, and John Smith, the steward, taking with them 450 Spanish dollars, belonging to the master and first officer, who offer a reward of 50 dollars for apprehending the said cook and steward, and delivering them, together with the dollars to C. W. PUTNAM, , t Master of the brig N a b o b at Whampoa." The Chinese version is as follows : " On the evening of the third (lay, of the eighth moon, two black foreign devils (1), one the butler, the other the mate of the Putlum (2) now at Whampoa, escaped from her by stealth, with foreign faced money more than four hundred rounds in their possession, the property of the Captain and Mate, and the place of their concealment is unknown. Should any su perior man know of their downfall and fetch them to the vessel Putlum, at Whampoa, it is clearly understood that on these two foreign black devils being recognised, he will be thanked for his trouble with flowered red money (3) fifty great rounds. These words are true and will not be eaten. " This chop is issued from Putlum's ship at anchor, at Whampoa." Note 1. The Chinese call all foreigners, black and white, devils, in contradistinction to their own people. Note 2. They designate the vessel by the name of the Cap tain. Note 3. Gold.--American Paper.
