SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We quarrel not with the Standard for endeavouring to run down Lord Brougham and other influential members of the present Cabinet ; this is its vocation. In anticipation of Lord Brougham's concurring with Mr. Stanley, Sir James Graham, and the Duke of Richmond, in an endeavour to obtain a Conservative Ministry for the country, the Standard, it seems, chose to compliment his Lordship. But the " Chan cellor's evil destiny prevailed. He allowed the first secession," which took from the Cabinet all its honour, and nearly all its talent, to leave him still a fixture with the dull and dishonoured remnant"—that is, he would not desert his party and his principles, and therefore our contemporary now heartily abuses him, and rejoices, as a matter of course, in the treachery of the Times. So far, so good. The praise of the Standard did his Lordship injury at the time, and its present sympathy with the Times merely proves that its former praise was not justified by a due knowledge of his Lordship's character, or correct infor mation with regard to his opinions. We may, how. ever, observe that the Standard, with more dexterity than fairness, assumes that because we charged the Tithes with want of principle—with taking up an opinion one day, and abandoning it the next—with having regard only to interest, real or imagined, in the course it takes—with supporting whatever opinion it supposes may be acceptable for the time—that there fore. Lord Brougham must have lost his popularity, otherwise the Times would not endeavour to run him doWn. If we were even to suppose for a moment that the Times attacked Lord Brougham because it supposed he had lost his popularity, it does not follow that the Times is infallible. The public and the Times have often thought very differently with regard to pub lic men. In almost all the Metropolitan elections, for instance, the favourite candidate of the Times was not returned. The Times predicted, with the utmost con fidence, that the Poor Laws Amendment Bill would , be thrown out on a second reading in the House of Commons ; and the minority against the second reading was not so large as the corps of reporters on a newspaper establishment. It predicted, in like man ner, that the measure would be thrown out by the Lords,. whom, in utter disregard of the opinions it had been enforcing a short time before, it eulogized as the main stay of the constitution—and the Lords likewise read the Bill by a large majority. The Times would have had Ministers abandon their measure because the principal proprietor of that paper had distinguished himself as a bad administrator of the poor laws ; and be cause Ministers did not choose to submit to its dic tation, it determined to do them all the injury it could. A man may be interested, and yet occa sionally allow passion to warp his judgment and lead him from his true interest. This will be found to be the case with the Times. Utterly unscrupulous with regard to means, having determined to break up the Ministry, it set about that task in good earnest. Having become peculiarly obnoxious to the Tories in consequence of suddenly supporting the Whigs, after reviling them in the most unmeasured terms a day or two only before their- accession to power, the Times can only hopefo regain the favour of the Tories by doing some signal injury to the Whigs. To give an example of its capability of doing mischief, may at all events act, in the opinion of the Times, on the prudence of the Tories, however much its treachery may be secretly detested by them. We wish the Times joy on the congratulations it receives from the Tory journals for its supposed success in injuring the Ministry. This alliance, however, ought to put the people of England, *ho do not wish to see the Conservatives reinstated in power, on their guard with r egar d t o th e Ti m es. The letters we have received expressing the utmost abhorrence of the conduct of the Times, are numerous. We have no doubt that the labours of the Times to blacken the Ministry, and more especially Lord Brougham, are not sanc tioned by the approbation of an enlightened public. Several of our correspondents dwell on the numerous tergiversations of the Times, and point out instances of the most contradictory judgments pronounced by that journal on the men composing the present Mi nistry :—" In the present day," says one of our cor respondents, " we have the Marquis of Lansdowne designated as a lath and plaster politician,' and are told that the rubbish Administration must be wheeled away to the last barrowful ;' and yet this lath and plasterpolitician'—this arm-chair Minister is described by this very journal, when Mr. Canning was nego tiating with , him to take office, as the strength and grace of the new Cabinet. What statesman,' it added, the empire is better gifted to direct its internal policy, and, above all, the Irish policy, than Lord Lansdowne ?' Again, We regret to hear that a negotiation which had been commenced by 'Mr. Canning with Lord Lansdowne has been broken off, on the impossibility of emancipation being made a Cabinet question; but although declining innnediate participa tion in the emoluments of office, he is content to cast the broad shield of his independent character over the union that he has cemented, and to defend the system of policy to be adopted, on the simple ground that it is most useful to the King and country. Again, It , Aras not the Whigs who courted office, but Mr. Can ning who applied to them to accept it ; they are willing to give their support to a liberal system of policy, but according to Sterne's proverb, liberality offers, with both hands open, what modesty will scarcely touch with a finger. Mr. Brougham, for example, has taken a decided part in promoting the negotiation by which the Whigs were to come in, declining at the same time" any office for himself.' " So far one of our correspondents—Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Brougham were then all in all with the Times. Soon, however, arbitrary principles seemed to have the ascendancy—the Times became en tangled in the policy of Polignac and the Duke of Wellington—the Whigs were told to renounce for ever all idea of returning to office—they were demagogues, and the proudest of aristocrats when in power. Power, however, soon reconciled the Times to the Whigs, and powerfully it must be owned did that journal second the exertions of the Whigs to carry the Reform Bill. But another change has com e over it. The appointment of the P oor Law Commis sioners formed yesterday the subject of the indictment against Lord Brougham in the Times. In Lord Brougham's revised speech, he says—" In the second place, I think it follows that Ihe persons in whom this control shall be vested, mast be armed with very ample discretionary power. Next, it seems clear that these ought not to be political, persons, if I may so speak—that they should be mgmbers of neither House of Parliament —men ing to no party—men unconnected (po liticalbi speaking) with the administration of public affa;rs, and unmixed with the contests of the State. I$ I should be consulted in the choice of the indivi duals, I would only say—" Show me a person (and I fthink I know that person) whose opinions on party matters differ most widely from my own, and if he be a man of firm mind, of extensive experience as to the working of the Poor Laws, of conciliatory manners, of sound discretion—if he be a man whom I can trust for his temper (one of the prime requisites in such a -work), and that man I prefer before any of those with whom I most agree in politics ;—nay more, if I saw two persons sufficiently gifted, but of opposite political opinions, I would name one of each party, in order the better 'to gain the confidence of the public—to show the country that, in the appointments, there is no favour—that, in the selection, the only consideration has been qualifications and deserts." " Let us see (observes the Times) how the appointments corre spond with the rule. First, Mr. Franitland Lewis is appointed to the chair, according to the canon that the Commissioners should not be political persons, or selected from among the members of either House of Parliament I Secondly, Mr. John Lefevre is ;ap pointed in as strict conformity with the above rule, and also with the next, that the Commissioners shall be men unconnected (politically speaking) with the ad ministration of public affairs ! the aforesaid Mr. John Lefevre having filled the office of Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. The quibbling answer will be, that these gentlemen are not now in Parliament, and that the latter is now discon nected, politically speaking, from the Administration ; but the promise of the Chancellor was clearly that the Commissioners should be persons unaffected with political bias, though, with his late .iriability to (knave consistency in any dozen words he utters, Fr:- proceeded to say that he would choose a man politi cally opposed to him, if in other respects a paragon." Really our contemporary must be hard run for ob jections to Lord Brougham, when it condescends to quibbling like this. Mr. Frankland Lewis is not per sonally a friend of the Chancellor, and he is politically opposed to him. Mr. Frankland Lewis, by universal confession, possesses the qualifications required for a Commissioner by the Chancellor in an eminent degree —he is a man of firm-mind, of extensive experience as to the working of the Poor Laws, of conciliatory man ners, of sound . discretion ; and the Chancellor had him, , no doubt, in his eye when he spoke these words. When he said they ought to be Members of neither House of Parliament—men belonging to no party — men unconnected, politically speaking, with the admi nistration of public affairs, and unmixed with the con tests of the State, he, of couse, could only mean that while they held the office of Commissioners they should neither be in Parliament nor in office. Where is the man in this country who has received a liberal education who has not embraced a side in politics. It could be of no earthly consequence whether a man had or had not been in Parliament ; the object was to dis connect the office with party. The whole objection is an instance of petty cavilling of the most contemptible kind. These are not the means by which the Lord Chancellor can be injured ; and he must be a weak man indeed, if he do not hold the strictures of our contemporary in the utmost contempt.7-IV/ornng. Chronicle. It is not without feelings of poiomant regret, mingled with no small degree of shame, trust we find ourselves so frequently called upon to record instances of military riot and insubordination. Partaking almost to enthu siasm in a high sense of that glory which this arm of our national defence has acquired, in the same propor tion do we feel its character, and that of the country, stained and degraded, when instances, and those of late so frequent, occur of soldiers altogether forgetting their character of citizens, and giving loose to unbri dled licentiousness towards those of whose rights and interests, upon a foreign soil, they have so often proved themselves the gallant and victorious defenders. From Chatham appalling accounts of this description have recently arrived, representing the soldiers of one particular regiment as resenting a private quarrel by a violent attack with side-arms upon their op ponents, and being afterwards allowed to sally forth armed with the same deadly weapons, attacking peaceable and defenceless inhabitants. We can not help suspecting that there must be something in herently wrong in what it may seem ludicrous to call " the well ordering " of men who can thus conduct themselves, and that either the system or supervisors cannot be very perfect which admits of such doings. Chatham, too, would seem to be a place peculiarly liable to these scenes of military outrage ; for it cannot be forgotten that a very few weeks have only elapsed since a soldier suffered on the lines of that garrison the last extreme penalty of the law for murder, and that the melancholy and revolting spectacle was ordered to take place there in view of the whole force there assembled, with the laudable, but, as it would nosy seem, un availing view of deterring others by so terrible an ex ample from the commission of similar offences. On this, as on all similar occasions, it would be well if those in whose province it lies to do so, would look diligently and scrupulously into the root of the evil. Whether there may or may not be at Chatham any local or peculiar causes in any degree extenuating the frequency of such scenes of insubordination there, we will not stop to inquire. Unfortunately, misconduct on the part of the military, though not, perhaps, of quite so flagrant a nature, is not confined to that place, but is far too general not to call for strict investigation and a general remedy. The national jealousy of a standing army has died away, with the, perhaps, unavoidable necessity of its existence ; but it be comes a serious inroad upon public liberty, in deed, when neither military nor civil authority is sufficient to keep it within the bounds of reasonable subordination. It is, as we have already suggested, the duty of those who are intrusted with the discipline of particular regiments, as well as of those who have the general regulation of the military force of the country, to look diligently into the causes which may be instrumental in producing the disgraceful scenes which we allude to. To help them in their research, we would suggest whether, among other causes, the in subordination so frequently complained of may not arise from the manner in which the ranks of our in fantry regiments are too frequently recruited and filled up from the very refuse of society, and that, instead of becoming objects of honourable emulation, are some times the last resource of infancy and crime. We are far from speaking thus of common soldiers generally. But a few scabby sheep can infect a large flock ; and a few drunken dissolute characters are often sufficient to corrupt and bring discredit upon large communities. There can be little doubt, too, but that fatal all-conta minating thing, " drink," is at the root of the evil in question. Daily experience makes this but too appa rent ; while the same experience shows how little is done in the way of authority to check the maddening and degrading practice. With these few remarks we leave the subject for the present ; promising, however, to keep an eye upon it, and particularly upon the con duct of those for whose interference, and that promptly and decidedly, the country has a right to look.— Morning Herald. The accounts from the Northern Provinces of Spain continue favourable to the cause of Charles the Fifth. The French Government has inserted two more offi cial bulletins in the organs of Monday, the amount of which is that the troops of Don Carlos are still pur sued. The Journal des Debats is, however, com pelled to abandon its exulting tone, and is now reduced to the reluctant avowal that the pacification of Spain has made none . of That progress which was so san guinely expected, and so confidently predicted by that Print and their employers on Rodil's arrival. Events having throughout disappointed their hopes and belied the triumphant statements of their stockjobbing tele graph, every means are resorted to in order to prevent the real state of affairs from becoming known. The Constitutionnel having in its incorrect account of the King of Spain's journey through France mentioned M. Cruz, ex-Portuguese Consul at Bayonne, as having co-operated in that ably executed expedition, there was little doubt that he would soon be torn from his home. As had been anticipated, that Gentleman has been favoured with what the official Globe has so generously and " liberally" termed a civility, not, how ever, quite so gracious a one as that by which Mr. Mitchell, the correspondent of the Herald, has been treated to a cell in one of Rodil's dungeons. M. Cruz, the father of a large family, and who had since the fall of Don Miguel been reduced to most unfortunate circumstances, has been ordered not only to quit France, but to repair to either England or Germany. This truly " liberal . ' treatment has been inflicted-on him for no other reason than that having occasionally been supplied with tidings from Spain that did not tally with the reports of the Bayonne authorities, and communi cated them to some friends at Paris, they have transpired and sometimes been the means of frus trating the effect of the Ministerial bulletins. It also appears that although the most earnest and energetic remonstrances have been made by Mr. Villiers in Madrid for the release of Mr. Mitchell, up to the 20th, he had not been liberated. The Globe is quite content that an order was sent, imme diately on the application of our Ambassador, from the Spanish capit a l f or t h e f ree d om o f M r . Mi tc h e ll ; but it is saying little for British influence if it only pre vails in Madrid, and is nugatory in Pampeluna. It is admitted that Mr. Villiers has acted `With great ala crity and firmness, and we hope to hear shortly.that his interference has been successful ; but according to pre sent appearances our Spanish Correspondent was quite right when he affirmed that "the English influence is very little attended to either by the Spanish or French authorities." The advices from Madrid indicate that the Ministry must shortly undergo changes like the late English, French, and Belgian Administrations. The Cortes is refractory, and the Procuradores are determined to go on with the " movement." Don Carlos may remain inactive in the northern provinces, while the different factions are working for him in the capital.—Morning Post. %Ve showed yesterday, if we mistake not, sufficiently to the satisfaction of our readers, and in contradiction to the opinions so anxiously and so Fersevcripey ST. KILDA. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1834. cated by two of our morning contemporaries, that cen tralization, as evidenced in the commission for the better administration of the Poor Laws, is neither new as a principle, nor new in practice. But let us still look farther. Is not the principle of centralization in volved in every Government ? The men of the greatest talent in the country appointed by the King, form the Government—from them, either as a Ministry, or from the Houses of Parliament, originates every measure for the public good ; and, as civilization advances, and population increases, measures, whether of police or of civil discipline, require more concentrated attention and greater uniformity in practice, than can be given, or is necessary, in earlier stages of society. That the laws should be uniformly and impartially administered no one will deny. For this purpose Judges are ap pointed, and local jurisdictions have given way to them gradually ; see, for instance, the recent alterations in the administration of justice in Wales and Scotland. A country, with respect to its law, is in the same situation as a large town with regard to its police. If there is not a uniform principle of action in the one case or the other, bad consequences must ensue. To ensure this, on the one hand, Judges periodically visit the country, and, on the other, Commissioners are appointed to protect the weak and increase the security of property in all parts of this great metropolis, by providing at all times a force sufficient to give assistance when it may be re quired. Should these Commissioners abuse their power, they are responsible to Parliament, and the public is now anxiously waiting for the report of the Committee appointed to examine into their conduct, &c. The Commissioners have no power to administer the laws. They have only to provide a proper number of persons, acting under one set of regulations, to take charge of, and secure all who may infringe the laws of the country. Now this is precisely the degree in which the principle of centralization is called into action in the new Poor Law Bill. We have repeatedly shown the bad effects which have been produced all over the country by the present poor laws being administered by nearly 30,000 persons—and these - 30,000 chang ing every year. We have proved the injurious effect which the allowance system has produced, and also by the persons appointed by the parishioners in vestry to superintend the management of the poor being re duced to automatons by the officious interference and superior power of the magistrates. We have shown the great extent of reading, and the knowledge of hu man nature which is required to ensure a proper admi nistration of laws, upon which the happiness of a large portion of the community depends ; and we have also shown how much Acts of Parliament, passed during the last 200 years, required condensation and improve ment. This the Legislature of the country has at last achieved—and then to ensure the uniform practice of the new Poor Laws, a Board of Commissioners is appointed, with power to direct the application of the new law—and• to assist the parochial officers with ad vice, when necessary or required. The object of the Board is to see the law carried into effect. Is it not as important that the Poor Laws should be as uniformly enforced as any other law ? Is it not important that an annual expenditure of 8,000,0001. should in some way be checked ? Is it not important that the alteration of the law, which was almost unanimously called for by the coun try, should be as simultaneous as possible ? How could all this be done but by a Board ? Do the opponents to that which they are pleased to call the principle of centralization wish to entrust the execution of the new law to those who have abused the old one ? Do they think uniformity in its execu tion, or simultaneousness in its application, could be thus secured ? We do not, and they cannot, think so. We really do not know what they can mean by the principle of centralization. If it means any thing it must have a good and useful meaning, and whilst we have a House of Commons accessible, as it now is, to public opinion, no harm can arise from power to ex-' ecute its laws being given in important cases to Com missioners, who are directly responsible for every act, and whose appointments and salaries are dependent upon the opinion which the House has of the benefit arising to the country from their exertions.—Morning Advertiser. SECOND VOYAGE OF THE GLENALBYN, ( From a Correspondent of the Glasgow Free Press.) On Friday, the 15th instant, the steam-vessel Glenalbyn, having a large and most respectable company on board, left Oban about one o'clock on her second voyage to St. Kilda. At Lochmady a pilot was procured to conduct the ship through the sound of Harris, which is difficult of navigation. The Glenalbyn went on gallantly ; but it coming on to blow very fresh, the Captain was advised to return to Buentru, opposite the village of Oab, in Harais, where we remained all Saturday, the wind blowing so hard, that, though we could have gone to sea in safety, yet we could not have effected a landing at St. Kilda—the main object in view. The weather having moderated, we again set out. Sun day was a very beautiful day, and though there was a heavy swell, very few were absent from the cabin, where divine worship was performed by the Rev. Mr. Bannatyne, of Old Cumnock. one of the passengers. In the afternoon, ap proaching St. Kilda, the view of the principal island, and the smaller rocks, which bear the same name, was grand beyond description. About half-past eight, p.m., we all landed safely, and proc ee d e d t owar d s th e v illage, which is approached by a nar row f oo t pat h, t h roug h fi e ld s of corn and barley, nearly quite ripe ; the straw was long, and the ears a tolerable size. The inhabitants met us in a body—al lowed us to examine their houses—received gladly presents of tobacco, napkins, and other articles—and disposed by sale of not a few of their cheeses. The houses, ac., are as stated in the first account. (except that the twenty-four hour lock-up s t or y i s a j o k e .) St. Kilda, one o f th e W estern I s l an d s o f S co tl a nd, lying, in the Atlanti c O cean , a b ou t 58 d eg . 30 m i n . n orth lati tude, is about three miles in length from east to west, about two in breadth from north to south, nine and a half in cir cumference, and 140 miles from the nearest point of the mainland of Scotland. The ground of St. Kilda, as usual in the Highlands, is much better calculated for pasture than tillage. Restrained by idleness, or, it may be, discouraged by their form of government, the people study to rear up sheep, and to kill wild fowl, much more than to engage deeply in the more toilsome business of husbandry. All the ground hitherto cultivated lies round the town. The soil is thin, full of gravel, and consequently rery sharp ; though naturally poor, it is, however, rendered extremely fertile by the singular industry of very judicious husband men, who prepare and manure every inch of their ground, so as to convert it into a kind of garden. The only instru ments of agriculture they use, or indeed require, according to their system, are a spade, a mall, and a rake. After digging the ground, they rake it very carefully, removing every stone or noxious root or weed, and pound down every stiff clod. Certain it is, that a few acres, well prepared in St. Kilda in this manner, will yield more profit than a much greater number roughly and hurriedly handled, as is the case in the other Western Isles. The people of St. Kilda sow and reap much earlier than any of their neighbours on that coast of Scotland. The heat of the sun, reflected from the hills and rocks into a low valley facing the south-east, in the summer time is intense, and, however rainy the cli mate is, the corn must, for these reasons, grow fast and ripen early. The harvest is commonly over by the end of August, and should it fall out otherwise, the crop would be almost de stroyed by the equinoctial storms. The islanders on the western coast have all great reason to dread the fury of autumnal tempests—these, with the excessive quantities of rain they have (generally seven or eight months of the year,) are undoubtedly the most disadvantageous and un happy circumstance of their lives. Tile only sorts of grain known at St. Kilda are barley and oats ; nor does the place seem calculated for any other. Fifty bolls of barley are yearly sent to Harris, and all the western islands produce nothing so good of the kind. Po tatoes have been introduced, but hitherto only small quan tities have been raised. In this whole land, as the natives call this island in their own language, there is only one appearance of a garden—a very inconsiderable piece of ground, enclosed and planted with some cabbages. On the east side of the island, near the bay, lies the town o r village, where the whole body of this people live together like the inhabitants of:a city. The population amounted in 1764 to 88, in 1799 to 120, and is now about 100. It is cer tain that the inhabitants were much more numerous for merly ; and now, if under proper regulations, St. Kilda might easily support 300 souls. Martin, who visited it the end of the 17th century, found 180 persons there--in 1730, one of the people having gone to the island of Harris, was seized with the small-pox and died. His clothes unfortu nately were carried away by one of his relations, and the infection thus communicated made such havoc, that only four grown-up persons were left alive. The houses are built in two rows, regular, and facing one another, with a tolerable causeway in the middle, which they call the street. These habitations are made and con trived in a very unconnlori manner. All are fiat on the roof, or nearly so, much like the houses of oriental nations. The place where their lot has been cast is subject to violent squalls , and furious hurricanes ; and were their houses raised higher, the first winter storm would likely bring them down. On this account the flat roofs seem to be necessary. The walls are made of a rough gritty kind of stone, huddled up apparently in haste and from eight to ten feet high, without either lime or mortar. In the heart of the walls are the beds, which are overlaid with flags, and large enough to contain three persons. In the side of each bed is an open ing by way of door, but low and narrow. The houses are divided into two apartments by partition walls. In the divi sion next the door, which is much the largest, the cattle are kept during the winter season ; the other serves for kitchen, hall, &c. _ It will be suspected that the inhabitants of St. Kilda are very slovenly and inelegant. It is impossible to defend them on this point. Their manner of preparing a sort of manure, or compost, to them indeed of immense use, proves great indelicacy. After having burnt a quantity of dried turf, they spread the ashes with the nicest care over the floor of that apartment in which*they eat and sleep. These ashes, so exactly laid out, they cover with a rich friable sort of earth ; over this they scatter a proportionable quantity of peat dust ; this done, they water, tread, and beat the whole into a hard layer : on this again they make new fires, and carry on in the same manner till they have a sufficient stock. By the time they are ready to sow their barley, the floors of their houses, from these operations, are raised 4 or 5 feet high. The people of St. Kilda are not shorter-lived than other men. Their want of those articles of luxury which naturally tend to destroy the constitution, and their moderate exercises, produce this result. Most of the deaths occur in infancy. Besides the houses above described there area great number of little cells on the island, consisting entirely of stones, without an inch of timber. These calls are from 12 to 18 feet in length, and about 7 feet in height. The St. Kilda method of catching wild fowl is entertain ing. The men are divided into parties, consisting generally of four persons, distinguished for agility and skill. Each party must have at least one rope, about thirty fathoms long; this rope is made out of a strong raw cow hide, salted for the purpose, and cut in a circular manner into three thongs of equal length ; these thongs being closely twisted toge ther, form a three-fold cord, able to sustain a great weight, and durable enough to last for two generations; it is sheathed with sheep-skins, dressed in nearly the same man ner, to prevent injuries from the sharp edges of rocks. The possessor of a rope of this kind is a man of substance in St. Kilda. In a father's will, it makes the first article in fa vour of his eldest son ; and, in default of male heirs, should it fall to a daughter, she is reckoned to be worth the best two cows in the islands. By the help of these ropes, the people traverse and exa mine rocks prodigiously high. Linked in couples, each having an end round his waist, they frequently go over the most dreadful precipices : when one descends, the other plants himself at a strong shelf, and takes so sure a footing there, that if his fellow makes a false step and tumbles over, he is able to save him. This method of fowling resembles that of the Norwegians, as described by Bishop Pon toppidan. To the venerable Principal Baird, we believe, this island owes a debt of gratitude, in blessing it with a minister of the gospel of Jesus. The Rev. Mr. M'Kenzie has been labouring in word and doctrine amongst this people for four years. He " left his home and his native land" to proclaim unto them the glad tidings of great joy. Mrs. M'Kenzie said she was as happy at St. Kilda as if at Glasgow (her native city) ; but complained that, though she often endea voured to show the St. Kildans the necessity of cleanly habits, they turned a deaf ear, and appeared to be satisfied as they are. Ten young children; she mentioned, died last year, which is a great number, considering the population. Before leaving the island we were called to witness a very interesting ceremony—the baptism of the Rev. Mr. M‘Kenzie's child, eight months old. Having all got on board again, we set off for Skye, Staffa, and lona, at which places we landed, admired their several beauties and curiosities, and then steered for Oban, which place we reached on Tuesday at twelve o'clock, all highly delighted with the voyage. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. An elderly person, between fortyand fifty years of age, whose dress bespoke great distress, waited upon Mr. Chambers in consequence of the parish officers of St. George's, Hanover-square, refusing to relieve him. The applicant attended at the office on Saturday, when he stated that he was under the necessity of applying for assistance in consequence of not being in a bed for a week, and not having tasted food for two days. He had for merly been one of the most extensive merchants and agents in India, and was well known to Mr. Cutlar Fergusson and Mr. Buckingham, M.P. He said he had claims to an enormous amount on the Court of Directors of the East India Company ; that a memorial in support of his claim had been presented ; and that Mr. Buckingham, at the commencement of the ensuing Session, was going to bring his case before Parliament. Mr. DYER, after objecting to the applicant making use of the names of gentlemen, gave him a trifle, with part of which he went and obtained a lodging in Shepherd-street, in St. George's parish. • From further inquiries it appeared that the name of the applicant is James Freenfield Doubleday, and that he went out to India about twenty-eight years ago, where he be came acquainted with an Indigo planter, of the name of Smith, who left him his property, on which he took the name of his patron—that he subsequently became possessed of indigo, cotton, and saltpetre factories—also a rum distil lery, and a tannery—all of which are standing in different Presidencies. In 1820 his property was seized, for which he brought an action, which was tried in August 1822, in the Supreme Court, Calcutta, his advocate being Mr. C. Fergusson ; but, although he obtained a verdict, he was unable to get back his property. Five years ago he re turned to England to obtain his father's property, on which he took his paternal name, and to a certain extent succeeded. In consequence of his being cheated out of a considerable sum, he became reduced to his present situation. Mr. CHAMBERS informed the applicant, as he bad seen Mr. Dyer in the first instance, he had better renew his ap plication when Mr. Dyer arrived. LAMBETH-STREET. THE CASZ or ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Yesterday Mil ler, the chief-officer of this establishment, reported to Mr. WALKER that he had been to the residence of Martha Clements, the female who had been, as stated in The Sun of yesterday, so seriously stabbed by her late lover, and found -her-still living. On conversing with her, she said that she had-passed a comparatively•easy night, and felt no pain whatever from the wound in the abdomen, but those on her thigh and breast were very sore. The unfortunate sufferer being without the slightest comforts or assistance so necessary in her unhappy situation, and, in fact, in want of the common necessaries of life, he, Miller, advised the landlord who had applied to him to know what was best to be done, from the extreme urgency of the case, to accom pany him to the office and apply to the Magistrates. Mr. WALKER said the best coarse would be to apply to the overseers of the parish where she resided. The applicant then left the office, and in a short time af terwards Mr. WALKER. and a county Magistrate, who was on the Bench at the time, proceeded to the lodgings of the female sufferer, and, after seeing her, contributed to her immediate pecuniary wants. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday John Clarke, a porter in the employ of Mr. Fincham, a teadealer, of No. 55, Charing-cross, was brought up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr. White, charged with robbing his master. Mr. WHITE fully committed him for trial, and the par ties were bound over to prosecute. After the prisoner was removed from the bar Mr. Fin cham obtained a search warrant. Just as the Magistrate was about to leave the bench two police constables returned, one with a sackload of property ove r his shoulder, and the other with a handkerchief full. Woodberry found a great quantity of tea, coffee, cocoa, vermicelli, arrow root, and other articles of grocery. The teas were of the best sort, gunpowder and hyson, and amongst other things he found a quantity of very handsome address cards of various colours, with the prisoner's name engraved in old English letters----" Mr. John Clarke." Mr. White ordered the property to be produced at the trial of the prisoner, and he could be indicted for stealing the same, if he was acquitted on the first charge. Win. Mascall, the driver and proprietor of a Greenwich coach, was summoned by Davies, a timekeeper at Charing cross, for standing opposite to the Salopian Coffeehouse and plying for passengers. The Complainant failed in proving that the defendant wa s plying for hire, and the case was dismissed with costs. HATTON-GARDEN. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGEOFSJAI;ING.--YeSterdaY , Charles Fcnwick, aged 30, and Wm. Gage, aged 31, ruf fianly evil-looking fellows, were brought beforo Mr. Ro- Gluts , and Mr. Sergeant SELLON, in the custody of Edward Pring, 153 and 154, E division, charged by Mary Fletcher, a fine looking young woman, about 26 years of age, who resided with her husband at the King's Head, High-street, Bloomsbury, with having stabbed her with a sharp and pointed instrument, by which she was considerably injured. The case excited great interest in consequence of a re port having been industriously circulated that two monsters had been apprehended, and the office was excessively crowded, chiefly by females. Mrs. Fletcher, on Tuesday evening last, about half-past eight o'clock, was walkinr, in company of a female friend and her daughter through ' Plumbtree-street, St. Giles's, when they observed the prisoners following them in a strange and suspicious Manner.' The prisoner Fenwick at length pushed against her, and she felt something sharp penetrate her groin. The o th er p r i soner p us h e d by her friend in a similar manner. When Fenwick had passed by she said to her friend " That man h as p r i c k e d me w ith something like a pin." Her friend replied, "My God, has he ? and I have been served in a similar manner," and they instantly found the blood flowing from their wounds. Witness im mediately made an alarm, and begged of her daughter to run for her father, who was close by, and they then followed the prisoners. A crowd of persons assembled, and several females also complained of having been stabbed, but were unable to identify the prisoners. Witness and her friend pursued them until they arrived in Holborn, by which time witness was joined by her husband, who gave both the prisoners into the custody of Pring, the officer, who took them to the station-house. A three-cor nered file was found upon Fenwick, the end of which was ground down to a sharp point, and the edges were quite sharp. (The instrument was here produced, and handed to Mr. Rogers, who examined it,' and its appearance ex cited a sensation of horror in all present, as it seemed evi dently to have been sharpened for the purpose.) Mr. ROGERS (to the prosecutrix)—Are you quite cer tain that they are the persons who pushed against you ? Mrs. Fletcher—l am sure that the tall one (Fenwick) is the person that pushed by me at the time that I received the wound, Ind the prisoner Gage was with him. They were both walking arm in arm. I said at the time that I had been pricked either by a pin or penknife. Mr. RoGEßs—Are you much injured? Mrs. Fletcher —There is a wound, but not of a dangerous nature. When the fellow pushed against me, he did it with such violence that I stumbled and pushed him off with my arm. Had I not fallen I should have been se riously injured. The file was found in the hand of Fen wick when he was taken on the spot. Pring corroborated this testimony. He saw the file taken from Fenwick. Mr. Ito CE RS asked if the other persons were much injured ? Mrs. Fletcher believed not much. When she was stab bed two respectable-looking ladies, who were walking a few yards behind them, came up, and said that they had been stabbed the same as witness and her friend, and they left before the prisoners were taken. Policeman 154 E. who acts as gaoler at St. Giles's sta tion-house, stated that when the prisoners were brought to the station-house he locked them up in separate cells, where he could hear their conversation. He heard the prisoner Gage say to Fenwick, " They can't hurt me." Fenwick replied, " No, but I shall nap it. You are all right, but they'll give me hot coffee or pepper." Mr. ROGERS, who was quite indignant at s uch con duct, asked Fenwick what he had to say for himself ? The prisoner, who was attired in very shabby black, is about five feet seven inches high. He has a. pale lank coun tenance, with long neglected white hair ; an obliquity of vision, his eyes being large and black. On being asked the above question, he leaned his head forward, and, with a look of idiotcy, he said, " What ?" Mr. ROGERS—What have you to say, Sir, to stabbing this woman ?—The prisoner lived at No. 6, Peter -street, Cow-cross, and was a chairmaker, and worked in Finsbury square. On Thursday night he came with the prisoner Page to receive some money, and on coming through Plumb tree-street he certainly did push against her. Mr. ROGERS (excessively indignant)—Come to the point, Sir, the charge of stabbing the prosecutrix, whom you might have ruined for ever by your infamous conduct. Prisoner —That file (pointing at the file) I use in my trade, and it is sharpened at the end for a particular purpose in the trade. I can't deny having did it, but when I pushed by her it struck her accidentally. He (Page) is quite innocent ;he did nothing at all. Mr. ROGERS—The lives of females are not to be endan gered by such fellows as you. You may think yourself very fortunate that I do not commit you to take your trial for the offence. I shall fine you in the penalty of 51., and unless you pay it I shall commit you to the House of Cor rection and hard labour for two months. Prisoner—l can not pay it. Mr. ROGERS—Then you stand committed. (To Page) —Now, Sir, what have you to say for yourself ?—Page, who is also a shabby low-looking fellow, with a squint, and who seemed to treat the matter with nonchala nce , denied , having taken any part in the stabbing, and protested his innocence. He had been to receive some money with Fen wick, and they pushed by the prosecutrix. Mr. ROGERS—You are fined in the penalty of 51. also. Page still denied the charge. Mr. ROGERS said, under the circumstances, he should only fine him 20s. He then ordered that the file should not be returned to them. __ _ The prisoners were eventually taken to prison in default of payment. The officers stated outside that several females had been lately !tabbed under similar circumstances in the above neighbourhood and Clerkenwell. None of the females stabbed on the above spot were in attendance. MAR YLEB ONE. ALLEGED CHARGE OF MURDER BY A HUSBAND.— Yesterday Mr. RAWLINSON and his colleague Mr. SHUTT retained their seats on the bench for a considerable length of time after the usual office hours, for the purpose of in vestigating a charge preferred against an elderly man, named William Jones, residing at No. 30, Clarence-gar dens, Regent's Park, of murdering his wife, Arabella Jones, on Friday night last. A Coroner's Inquest was held upon the body of the de ceased on Tuesday afternoon, at the New Clarence pub lic-house, at the corner of Ernest-street, Regent's Park ; but in consequence of the prisoner having absconded from his home, the Jury adjourned the inquiry until Friday, and the Coroner directed the summoning beadle to apprehend the prisoner. Mr. T. King, one of the Jury, upon being sworn, stated that he went to the prisoner's house in Clarence-gardens yesterday morning, and happened to catch him at home for the first time since he (prisoner) had learned that an inquest would be held on the body of his wife. 'Witness asked him whether be intended to come before the jury on Friday, and he replied that he did, and a policeman passing at the time, witness called him in, and gave the prisoner in charge, that his attendance might be enforced before the Coroner's Jury. Mr. RAWLINSON—Is be a man that can be trusted on his own recognizance ? Mr. King—l do not know ;he says he comes from the West of England, and is indepen dent ; but he is a perfect stranger to me. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prisoner)—At present I feel inclined to detain you ; have you any wish to say anything ? Prisoner—No, Sir ; not any further than that my wife was a heavy drinking woman, and that she came home a few nights before very much bruised and knocked about. Mir. RAWLINSON then heard sorre of the witnesses who gave evidence before the Jury. Mr. RAWLINSON asked the prisoner if he had any secu rity to oiler for his appearance on Friday before the Coroner The prisoner replied in the negative, and Mr. Rawlinson then remanded him till Friday next. Mr. King was then advised by the Magistrate not to let his feelings carry him to too great a length, as he was a juryman, and after some remarks on the Coroner's neglect ing to issue his warrant for the prisoner's apprehension, Jones was removed from the dock. The prisoner's wife was an exceedingly fine woman, about 56 years of age. There appeared a wildness in the pri soner's manner during the examination. DISTRESSING CASE OF PARENTAL CnuELTY.—Yester day Robert Fitzgerald, a chairmender, residing at No. 3, Lisson-place, Lisson-grove, was charged before the sitting Migistrates, Messrs. Rawlinson and Shutt, with cruelly ill using and turning out of doors his son, aged 13, a deformed cripple, being born without hands or arms. The complainant, who was wrapped in a cloak, had re sided with his father and mother since his birth, and when either of them were out of temper he was always the object of their spite, one or other of them giving him a severe beating, more especially the defendant, who appeared to be happy only when ill-using him. The parish officers had kindly allowed the defendant ss. a week for his (witness's) support, but finding that most part of it went to the gin shop instead of being appropriated to the purpose for which it was intended, they took it off altogether. Since that period the defendant had behaved in a more brutal manner than before, frequently locking him out all night, till about three weeks back, when, becoming weary of hoping ever to live comfortable with his parents, he went to reside with a married sister, who had kindly offered to receive him. The defendant had found him out, and was always coming and creating a disturbance because he would not go back to him. Mr. RAWLINSON.—ShouId you have any o bj ect i on to go into the workhouse ? Complainant.—Y es , Sir, I should ; for Mr. Knox, a gentleman residing at No. 1, Gloucester place, New-road, is learning me to take portraits, by which, when I am perfect, I hope to make a g oo d li v i ng . Mr. R A wuNsoli.—You've no hands ? how, then, can you take a likeness? Complainant.—With my toes on my right foot, between which I hold the brush. Mr. RAWLINSON.—Have you ever earned any money by that yet ? Yes, I earned 11. last week, which, my father hearing, is the reason he wanted me home again, thinking I should give hilt the money. The sister of the Complainant, having proved the con stant ill-treatment of the defendant, her brother, he was ordered to find bail to keep the peace towards the poor cripple, who, before he left the office, was desired by Mr. Rawlinson to bring him some of his works to look at as he got a little forwarder in his singular profession. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 26. We have had an extremely dull market for cotton to-day. The transactions are under 500 bags, of all descriptions, al our quotations of Friday last. PUBLIC MEETINGS. OPERATIVE BUILDERS. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of shopkeepers resident in the Western District of St. Pancras, was held at the London National Labour Exchange, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, for the purpos e o f t a ki ng i n t o cons id era tion the conduct of ti!, builders of the metropolis towards their workmen. T. . 0 - Duncombe, Esq. M.P., was unanimously called to the chair' The meeting was th en a dd resse d by seve ral speakers, after which resolutions were carried into effect, that the meeting i viewed with deep regret the con d uc t o f the master builders, n demanding of their workmen to sign the declaration, that they neither are, nor intend to be members of the Trades I Tnion . ; that its opinion was, that such procedure was a prelude o f thel_r intention to reduce the wages of their workmen, and tha t y ield ing to such oppression would be forging chains for theiasst necks. In conclusion, the meeting pledged itself to s the workmen through their struggle, by affording them 01 best assistance and support. A subscription was then entered into, and the meeting adjourned. MASTER BUILDERS. A meeting of master-builders was held yesterday aft ers of at the Talbot, Gray's Inn Lane, to consider the best mode ° protecting the working builders against the monopoly est ers i S e veral Mr. Lovick, of Red Lion-street, in the chair. Severs master-builders addressed the meeting, and resolutions were paised denouncing the conduct of the master builders in re quiring their men to sign the declaration—that they did nos belong to any trades union—as an act of unwarrantable op pression, and expressing the determination of the meeting .to protect such of the operative builders as might be s ufferers pt their refusal to sign it. Thanks were then voted to the Chalt. man, and the meeting separated. HOUSEHOLDERS AND SHOPKEEPER S. A very numerous meeting of householders and shopkeeper° of Pimlico took place yesterday afternoon at the Flask T avern ; Ebury-square, to take into consideration the best means °; assisting the operative builders in their determination not to sign the declaration relative to the Trades' Unions—M r " Moore in the Chair. Several speeches were made and re s° ; lutions passed to that effect.
