SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The King held a Privy Council yesterday, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor (Lyndhurst), the Duke of Wellington, Marquis of Camden, Earls of Rosslyn, Amherst, and Jersey, Lords Ellenbo rough,, Cowley, and Maryborough ; Sir R. Peel, Sir CA M. Sutton, Sir John Beckett, Sir H. Hardingc, Messrs. Goulburn and Herries —our future Reform ers I Sir It. Peel was sworn into office as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and received the Seals of Office from the King. He will also be First Lord of the Treasury ; but with respect to the latter, some delay must take place. Parliament was ordered to be further ," prorogued from the 18th of the present month, to i Thursday, the 15th of January. But this is a mere matter of form, as Parliament can be dissolved at any time. Nothing, however, is yet known of the Dissolution, though it is probable that the moment the Ministerial arrangements are completed it will take place. The general belief, in well-informed quarters, is that Lord Stanley will not take office ; and this belief is strengthened by the knowledge that the King has sent for his Lordship. It is no doubt supposed that if the King appeal powerfully to Lord Stanley, representing that a Cabinet cannot be formed without him, his pride may be flattered by having a Royal suitor for his favour. Those, however, who know Lord Stanley best, declare that he is too honest and too proud a man to allow himself to become a tool in the hands of old stagers, who either will disgust the nation by an open profession of Tory principles, or hypocritically assume the mask of Reformers, which is still worse. The Standard intimates that Lord Stanley will not march through Coventry with the Tories. "It is believed (says our contemporory) that Lord Stanley, though giving his cordial support to the Administra tion, will, for the present at least decline office." If he support any of the measures of the Administration, he will support them cordially, but he will not stick his knees into Sir Robert's back ; he will not be the tool of Sir Joseph Surface. The Standard adds, that the ex-Radical Sir James Graham is not so squeamish as Lord Stanley. " The accession of , Sir James Graham, acting under Lord Stanley's advice, is confi dently hoped for." Why should Lord Stanley advise another to do what he is too proud to do himself ? The truth is, that Sir James Graham requires no ad vice; his desire to serve the Duke and Sir Robert, is like Mr. Serjeant Spankie's, spontaneous. If the Duke wish him, he may have the Cumberland Baronet by a nearer cut than through the intervention of Lord Stanley. He has but to ask, and Sir James is his man in an instant. Sir James, we are told, succeeds to the Chief Barony of the Exchequer. It is understood that no other arrangements will be made, till the answer of Lord Stanley has been received. It was expected last night. The Tory papers begin to be a little more communicative as to the professions of the new Minis try. The Standard tells us that the Tories are to be Reformers ; but that though Reformers, they will not be apostates, because, circumstances having changed, the opinions suitable to a former state of things are not suitable now. " There is a fraud (rays our con temporary) in the bare admission of such a word as apostacy into the controversy. In a new state of affairs, there can be no apostacy in politics ; because all politi cal opinions depending upon existing institutions and existing relations, they must give way .with those . institutions and those relations upon which they de pend ; otherwise what will follow ? What, indeed, is demanded to follow by those who abusively employ this topic ? Why, this ; that a political system once changed by bad men, for bad purposes, must to the end of time be administered by men as bad, and for designs as evil." This is very craftily expressed, and may mean, that disapproving of the men who carried the Reform Bill, the Duke and Sir Robert disapproved of all the measures proposed by them, which were consequently bad up to the middle of last month, but that the same bad men being now out of office, the same measures may be proposed by good men ; or it may mean that the late Ministejs having changed the institutions of th e coun t r y, f or the sake of protecting the people against the abuses of misgovernment, another set of men may profess a desire to reform abuses, in order to defeat reform. This is the interpretation which the country will put on the oracular dictum of our Contemporary. If the late Ministers changed a political system for bad purposes, they who think such purposes bad, will naturally think measures as unlike the measures of the late Ministry • as possible, good measures. We must submit, say the Tories, to the new institutions till we can change them. And iii truth it would be surprising if all the Tories were to become suddenly smitten with the desire to reform, as we are told by the Standard they are. 64 The whole Conservative body of the kingdom (says the Standard), without a whisper of division or dis trust amongst them (if any such whisper has been heard, let the occasion be pointed out ; until it is, we shall reiterate it), the whole Conservative body through out the United Kingdom press forward to urge Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of 'Wellington into the administration of a Government, that in the largest and most liberal proper interpretation of the word must be a reforming Government." This is the most sus picious part of all. If we heard of the thieves pro fessing a warm desire to support a police, we should think matters somewhat alarming. Why did the Tories oppose the Reform Bill, but that they wished to continue to quarter themselves and their dependents on the public ? The Tories are wedded to all abuses —they are enemies to retrenchment and economy in all departments of the State—they were enraged beyond measure at the steps taken by the late Ministers to in troduce reforms into the Churches of England and Ireland. The Tories can only approve of the Govern ment of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel for reasons which ought to range every honest and independent Irian throughout the country against it. The Tories only acquiesce in it because they know it is to be a refoiNing Government only in name. The question is slioAr this—Why did th e Tories oppose the Reform of the Representation ? They opposed it because they knew that a representa tion approximating to real—that is, which should be identified in interest with the country, would not tole rate the abuses by which the few are enriched at the expense of the many. Why have the Tories opposed the Reform Bill ever since it became the law of the land, but because they were opposed to all attempts to give to the Reform Bill its legitimate consequences ? They have fought for every abuse, how ever g l ar i ng , inch by inch. Of all the abuses in the country, none are more offensive than those of municipal Corpo rations. What an outcry has been raised by the Tories against even the inquiry into the state of these Corporations ! But we shall now find all the corrupt Corporations throughout the country zealous in their support of a Reform Government I What pleases the enemies of Reform is of bad omen for its friends. The man must be blinder than a mole who does not see that the present Ministers have entered on office with an intention to defeat the just expectation s of the people. It is supposed that in their hands, the Reform Bill will be inoperative, and that some moment may arrive when it may be mutilated. Any govern ment receiving the support of Tories must deserve the opposition of every Reformer. The Tories cannot succeed in their object without gulling the Reformers. But we trust they will not be the dupes of such a bare faced system of deceit as is avowed by our Evening contemporary. The opposition of the Tories to all reforms proves either that they are dishonest unprin cipled men, or that they will propose no refornit de serving of the name. When the Wolves beco i me dpar dians of the sheep, woe to the sheep.--Xoriqng Chronicle. • . 1 . A pamphlet, under the title of " England, Frane, Russia, and Turkey," just published by Ridgway, so completely confirms the opinions so often expreSSO by us, on the evil consequences which have resulted from the lamentable policy of this country towards Turkey, that we cannot refrain from making one or two - remarks upon it. . The pamphlet comutences with a-few obser vations on the state of Poland ; and it is fairly asked how England and France could ever have suffered the incorporation of any country with Russia, whe ther guaranteed by treaties or not ? but when it is recollected that that heroic country had been univer milygeggnised as a bulw ar k aga i nst t h e encroach ---inetjhr prsian tyranny and barbarism, that we ,173i41.0,4- 9 to defend its i n t egr i ty by every feel - t.:',. *49 t; oalf .l ,_ inanity, but also of- the strongest - • ,• ~..%.... , 2Z:4 rt n.. 4 ia THE StTh, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1834. political interest—such conduct, had we not the melan choly fact before our eyes, would have been incredible. The writer then proceeds shortly to show the connec tion of Russia's designs on Turkey with her subjuga tion of Poland, andspoints out with considerable acute ness the constant tendency of every action of Russia during the last sixty years to one sole object—viz., the acquisition of Turkey. The tracing of these. schemes of the Russian Autocrat, conducted with a talent and success worthy of a better cause, will be read, we think, with interest, but at the same time with the deepest sorrow at the lamentable want of foresight displayed throughout the transaction by Great Britain, and, in fact, by the rest of Europe. In nothing more, we should say, does the crafty policy of Russia appear to have been so successful as in hav ing so completely hoodwinked her opponents, more especially England and France, that she has not only been able to persuade them of her moderation and un ambitious views, but actually to have made them the tools for effecting her most destructive measures, and has made " the natural allies of her prey, plunge themselves the knife into its heart." Having then set forth in the strongest colours the•unjustifiable conduct of Russia, and having pointed out the glaring and impudent demands established against Turkey by the treaty of Adrianople, the writer proceeds to remark on the ignorance which even at this moment exists here with respect to the real state of Turkey, and the extraordinary and amazing apathy displayed by us at the approaching destruction of that country ; but it is clearly proved, as our able correspondent from Con stantinople has informed us, constantly during the last year, that Turkey, though prostrate, is not yet power less ; that there at this moment exists within her the slumbering embers of a fire, which the slightest breath of England would instantly raise into a flame, which would instantly scare away or annihilate her Russian foes ; that the people of Turkey are now looking to Great Britain for protection ; that throughout the coun try one universal feeling of detestation, from the highest to the lowest, prevails against Russia ; that the existence of this feeling, the perfect union of the Cabinets of England and France, and the increas ing danger of allowing Russia to occupy longer her present position, point out to us the necessity of at once taking that step, which, if longer delayed, may never be again in our power, except under much less advantageous circumstances, and accompanied by a great expenditure of blood and treasure. The effects likely to be produced on the several great Powers of Europe, and their interests, as involved in the preser vation of Turkey, are pointed out with great precision and clearness, and show a knowledge of all the bear ings of this question which we have looked for in vain in Lord Palmerston ; and whether the question is to be looked upon as one of political existence to France, or of commercial or national importance to ourselves, the absolute necessity for something being at once clone is most strongly enforced. A s an additional argument, if any were necessary, for our at once proceeding to rescue Turkey from the state to which the treaties, the protection, and the councils of Russia has re duced her, it is ably shown that the present state of Russia would not allow her to proceed to extremities in furtherance of her iniquitous designs. As is ob served, she knows too well her own weakness, and the fictitious nature of the props on which the overgrown superstructure of her power depends ; she fears the dis affected state of the many unhappy districts reduced under her sway ; she knows that the Georgian pre vinces await but a signal to throw off the yoke ; that the inhabitants of the Caucasus, that the Crimea, Bes sarabia, and the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia are ready, upon the announcement of our hostility, to rise in one body against their oppressor. We cannot now pursue this subject further. We are aware that, in taking this hasty view of some of the contents of this pamphlet, we are not doing justice to the writer. The country, however, are much indebted to him for thus calling their attention to this subject, the im portance of which cannot be longer denied. As observed by an eminent diplomatist, "it is the" East that will afford the arena for the approaching European struggle," and it is added, " the Turkish question is not only an European question, but the chief amongst them." It is owing perhaps to its importance, that Lord Palmerston, in a speech to his Hampshire con stituents last week, cautiously avoided even alluding to the name of Turkey. It is a question, however, which cannot be evaded, and it is one on which we will offer to his Lordship a few remarks at a future time. We will however now merely observe, that while thus cen suring the apathy of our Government, we do not over look the great and vital importance to this country of preserving peace ; but at the same time we bear in mind that the surest way of effecting that object is to preserve our position amongst the nations of Europe ; and we consider that by securing the integrity of Tur key, we are most likely to avert the horrors of war, and at the same time to maintain the honour and indepen dence of this kingdom.—Morning Herald. The recreant portion of the press, which is for the people or against the people, as the hope of self-inte rests suits, and which is not therefore the people's press in any honest sense of the word, has for some time been raising the cry of " measures, not men." This is the most senseless distinction that ever was made ; and one by which the people of this country must not, and cannot be deceived, or lulled from that vigilance which the aspect of the times renders so indispensable. Mea sures without men are nothing. They are empty sounds upon which no reliance can be placed. When " the Devil transforms himself into an angel of light," he is still " the Devil ;" and he is much more " the father of lies,"—the archtype of hypocrisy and deceit, than when he appears in his true colours. And, be it borne in mind, that he never puts on the semblance of an angel honestly, to do an angel's work ; but that in this dis guise he may impose upon the simple, and thereby accomplish his mischievous ends with the greater sim plicity. It is when the snake charms .and gazes,. as if it admired the beauty of the bird, that the bird is in the greatest danger : it is when the wolf appears to fawn, that there is most peril to the lamb : it is when the deceiver swears that he is a friend, " fast and for ever," that the victim stands in peril of being for ever undone :—and it is when the man whose very life and feeling have been tyranny to the people, says that die has become their friend and partisan, that he is their most dangerous enemy.—Not in vain nor ufitruly di the poet sing, " Time° Danaos et dona ferenies ; and be it remembered that the promises of Reforn have not been made by the Tories themselves. They have given no pledge but their recorded pledge—that they are hostile to all Reform — that, before the passing of the Reform Bill, and with all its corruptions full and rank upon it " the British Constitution (as it then stood there is an error in the spelling of the last word) was the best upon earth"—the very Con stitution which they would have given, by special grace and favour, if any people had been asking a Constitution at their hands. This is the attitude, and the only attitude, in which the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and the whole - of their party, stand before the people of England ; and that people must not, will not,' cannot, be so far imposed upon by any sophistry, as to view them in any other. They stand avowed and declared as Tories, as heart-and-soul ene mies to that reform which has been obtained, and which is more and worse, to the spirit and practice of all reform, be it of what it may ; and if any one be lieves otherwise of them, that person believes not only win testimony which has no fomnda tion, but upon testimony which is in opposition to the fact. Who are they that, contrary to the whole tenour 'of the recorded facts, take upon them to say that cne arried certain specific reforms will be proposedlad - fa° arid u r by a Tory, a High Monarch , aife.n Ministration? And what is the value of these spe cific reforms, supposing that by a sort of miracle (or, at all events, marvel), they should be granted—given —thrown as an alms to a beggar, and not heartily by and with the voice of the people as their own just and imprescriptible right ? Why, the promise makers are that . portion of the press which has promised again and again upon " a' the airts the wind can blew ; ' an d as often, and oftener, belied itself upon all. If you were at sea in a starless night, would you ask the weathercock for the direction of the pie/ so that you might thereby set your course ? Assuredly not. „ The weathercock only " tells • how the wind sits ; all the practical use you can make of it is to " trim the vessel to the wind ;" but not one jot as to where the port lies, or how you are to gain it. That por tion of the press which has assumed the ?ffice of pro mise-maker to the Tories, stands confessed and branded in the eyes of all England—in the eyes of all the world—as the Political Weathe r cock ; and all that the people can learn from it is how they can be come the servile tools of the Administration—subser vient to all its purposes—bad or worse—at the mercy of that wind, from which quarter soever it may blow ; and we have the experience that, in as far as honest and straightforward reform is concerned, it has blown nothing but blight and mildew—the withering of every liberal hope—the nipping in the bud of every demon stration of public feeling. And if the Tories (Ave must use that word for want of a better) should grant a few nominal reforms of the Irish Church, or other wise, what would that avail ? Is England so poor in spirit, so wretched in condition, so debased in principle, so lost to all that has made her the Queen of the nations, as to beg at the • door of the Minister that bread which she has earned by her own labour, and out of which the Mi nister himself is fed by her bounty ? Forbid it, heaven I Forbid it, earth I Forbid it all that "is honest, true, lovely, or of good report I" It is not any one specific Reform, be it what it may, which is wanted. The people of these kingdoms are not silly children, to be " pleased with a rattle, tickled by a straw ;" they are men, and men sinewed by the good fight which they have already fought for their liberties. They love freedom ; they have in so far obtained in the councils of the country, the reflection of that free dom which was born and nurtured in the country itself : and therefore they want, and, be the struggle what it may, they will have,—an Administration im bued with the same spirit—animated by the same de sire of Reform. It is not any one specific alteration in any one part of their institutions which the people demand—it is a thorough sifting and revisal of the whole, not for any factious purpose—far from it—but for the general, obvious, confessed, and practical good of the whole. Many, indeed almost all, of our institu tions have been so long in a state of corruption and estrangement from the people, that it is impossible at once to say what are the reforms and alterations which they require. Time only can establish this ; and, therefore, it is indispensable that the people of this country should have an administration possessing a conformity of feeling with them, always ready to hear them, and to go along with them in the accomplish ment of every good work. This is what we, the people of England, want, wish for, and must have ; and of this, whatever may be said, nay, whatever may be done, they can have no hope from the Tories. If these men shall be traitors to their own principles—to those principles which, from the constancy with which they have been displayed, appear to be as necessary to their existence as the breath of their nostrils, how can they be true to the principles of the people of Eng land, of which they have always kit and expressed their detestation ? We shall return to this subject.— Morning Advertiser. Alas, alas ! What has become of the wish " father to the thought " of our Radical contemporaries that Sir Robert Peel would not accept office at the present moment ? How completely have the hopes of Jaco binism been frustrated, the anticipations of ex-place inenship been destroyed, by the prompt and patriotic obedience of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer to the commands of his Sovereign. We have never en tertained for a moment the slightest doubts of such a result. We knew that, although the delicate and sensitive feeling of honour which has ever been an attribute of the Right Honourable Baronet pre vented . him from accepting office two years ago,- under circumstances which might have exposed his conduct to the misrepresentations of those whose breath is faction, and whose trade is • falsehood, that as soon as the time should arrive when Sir Robert Peel thought he might accept office with honour to himself and advantage to his King and country, he would readily and cheerfully come forward. Our anticipations have been realized, and the formation of the Administration has been entrusted to one who has more than fulfilled the splendid promises which early academical distinction held . out, to one whose eloquence, statesmanlike views, and unrivalled judg ment, combine with unblemished private reputation and the possession of wealth, which places him far above the love of office for the sake of its advantages, to point him out as incomparably the fittest man for rule at this important crisis. With him are associated the illustrious hero whose acceptance of the Seals of the Foreign Department is a . guarantee for the honour, peace, and dignity of England (what a contrast with Lord Palmerston I), and the learned and acute Lord Lyndhurst, who leaves to his successor (if re port speak true, no unworthy possessor of his mantle) a judgment seat which he has raised to pre-eminence and distinction as a British Court of Justice. Will Lord Stanley' and Sir James Graham join is now the question ? For their own sake, as well as that of the country, we trust the question will be answered in the Affirmative. There can be now no material points of . difference between Conservatives of any denomination. Loyalty to the King, attachment to the Church, and an affectionate veneration for theecclesiastical and civil institutions of the land, with an anxious but cautious desire to effect such reforms as may be useful or ne cessary, are the principles which animate in common the Duke of Wellington and Lord Stanley; Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham. The result of such an union cannot be doubtful—a firm, compact, and en lightened Administration, which may bid defiance alike to foes of every description, whether they muster under the banner of destructive innovation, or are banded together merely by an inordinate attachment to the honours and advantages of office. - -Mornino- Post. It will be seen that some progress was made yes terday in forming the new Administration, Sir Robert Peel having, as was expected, received the offices of First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Ex chequer ; the Duke of Wellington the seals of the Foreign Department ; and Lord Lyndhurst, the Great Seal of England. These three Ministers constitute at present the nucleus of the forthcoming Cabinet, of which nothing more will probably be known until answers shall have arrived from Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham to propositions which, it is under stood, have been made to them on the part of the new head of the Administration. If Lord Stanley declines a seat in the Cabinet, his friends are of opinion that he, n ever th e l ess , will steadily support it, but that a little time must show. When it is urged those who are indifferent to party, but who measure their conduct towards a given Admi nistration by its policy, past or prospective—when they express their willingness to give a fair trial to this " Conservative" governMent, and not expel it from office until it shall have proved itself unworthy,—they are answered off-hand--" Why should we try the " Duke ? We knew him formerly as a deprecator of all reform. How can he now be otherwise ? Let us recall those whom we know by experience to be its friends." We think there will be no great labour in showing the fallacy of such language under the cir cumstances in which it is now resorted to. When the Duke of Wellington made his declaration against Reform, he-did no more than manifest the repugnance of a statesman who never had been an experimentalist in politics towards any great and vital change in the old institutions of his country. He had seen in other parts of Europe more of political experiment, or of its conse quences, and been compelled to meditate it more closely and anxiously,than perhaps any other man existing. He had witnessed its progress and its perverse, wayward, and uncertain action in the Peninsula, and in France the effects of twenty-eight years of incessant change, which had been such that no fixed principles of government were there relied upon, save only those of arbitrary, that is, of military power. It would be little wonder if a man long disgusted by the want of stable and re spected institutions elsewhere, brought home a mind impressed above all things with the persuasion that repose must be a master element in the political system of a nation desirous to be happy. We have no doubt that a dislike of change, merely as change, had a considerable share in the Duke of Wellington's re sistance to Catholic emancipation, to the repeal of the Test Act, and finally to an extensive reform in the representation of the people.- - But this was be fore the accomplishment of such changes. Does any' person suppose that the Duke of Wellington's early ' opposition to the removal of the penal laws, or of the Test Act, had a tendency to make him afterwards throw unfair obstacles in the way of Dissenters or Roman Catholics, or in any manner to frustrate or embarrass the operation of the legislative indulgencies Which, although he had been himself their instrument, had been imparted to each of these classes of his fel low -subjects avowedly against his inclination ? There is, indeed, no doubt that if the Duke's free will had been consulted, his disposition was no more favourable to those changes in the old law, which he himself pro posed to Parliament, than to that which was subse quently not only introduced, but carried into law, in spite of him. But the Reform Bill is now the law ; the powers and privileges which it conferred are le galized. How, then, can any being but an incurable and envenomed partisan pretend to greater alarm on behalf of the people generally, lest the " Conservative" Government should deal unfairly--should clog, or vex, or impede the constitutional action of our representa tive reform, or the constitutional progress of those further reforms to which its enactment has given birth, and the completion of which it has necessitated, than that its chief members should strive to defeat the working of those preceding reforms in favour of the Dissenters and the Catholics, which had been equally struggled against by the " Conservatives," and the principle of them equally disapproved ? The plain truth is, that all derivative reforms, ecclesiastical, municipal, and every other, stand upon the same iden tical foundations as the Reform of Parliament itself —they can no more be impeded than it can be un dermined. If the will of the people declare for such measures, it must be no less powerful than in the choice of their Representatives ; it must be equally respected by any Government, not altogether crazed,' as the freedom of election itself ; and any attempt to stop the course of Church or Corporate Reform once called for by the country, would be no less a deliberate suicide than would be a Royal manifesto for determining the choice of Members of Parliament by the will and pleasure of the Crown. The fear professed of the Duke of 'Wellington's or Sir Robert Peel's anti-reform projects is now an insane fear, or a factious and pitiful hypocrisy. But suppose for a mo ment that the bark of these foxes in sheep's clothing should succeed, and that a sufficient number of the new House of Commons to constitute a majority should, by some precipitate vote, oblige the " Conservatives" to retire,—is it quite certain that the gentlemen of the country have prepared themselves for what might might be the 'consequence ? Have they secured a fit ting description of Ministers to succeed the present ? To whom is it probable that the handkerchief would next be thrown ? Not to Lord Grey. Not, we ap prehend, to Lord Melbourne. We wish to look at this question calmly, for it is one of real mo ment to us all, of whatever party. What descrip tion of Cabinet could be formed among those in whose hands the property of the country and its religious in stitutions and the integrity of the empire could be deemed safe by men of sense and sound principles and patriotic feelings ? Of the original Cabinet of Lord Grey, half of its original members had aban doned office. Lord Melbourne had tried how far he could go towards the torrid zone of self-confessed de mocracy without setting Whitehall on. fire. Suppose that by any accident we will say nothing of disagree ment—but through some affection of the trachea, or the brain, even two of his Lordship's colleagues had been obliged to leave him,—we ask any sober-minded man to answer us, for Lord Melbourne, where could he have looked for their successors ? We apprehend that the resources of the old Whig party had been com pletely exhausted ; at least, that the noble Viscount had stooped the cask containing any thing under the semblance of Cabinet liquor, until nothing, literally, but the very lees were left in it. Then if a Whig Ministry were to be again resorted to, requiring, as it would inevitably require, recruits and reinforcements from beyond its own small area, where, we ask once more, could they be obtained ? Not from the Stanley section, which went off in a body .on a late occa sion, and whose indignation at the " thimble rig" proceedings which occasioned their departure was expressed in no measured terms. Perhaps from the liberal portion of the Conservatives themselves Why, they are in the Government already—they tom pose the Government—and if ousted to-day, from un worthy distrust of their intentions or their wisdom, is it likely they would condescend to coalesce with, and to morrow serve under, those whose distrust had forced them to resign ? Well, then, nothing, positively nothing (so far as we now can judge), would remain as material for a new Ministry, but a medley of half united Whigs, and fierce and reckless Radicals, of whom O'Connell, in the House of Commons, plays the part of mountebank, and Joseph Hume of clown I and such would be the forlorn-hope of those who raise a- preliminary outcry against such Ministers as the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel. In the House of Lords, the Earl of Durham appears to have made himself the exponent of the Radical power ; but unless the Members of the last Cabinet have changed their minds within the last two months, it is plain that his Lordship would, by them, at least, be left in undis turbed and permanent possession of even a greater number of offices than were lately placed, ad interim, in the hands of the Duke of Wellington.----Times. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 10. PITT V. TOKELOVE. Mr. Pitt came up on a writ of habeas, to move that he be discharged from the Fleet, on the ground of irregularity in his commitment, and various other matters which he al leged to be contained in his notice of motion and affidavit. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after listening to Mr. Pitt for nearly an hour, with great patience and temper, had read both the notice of motion and the affidavit, and he confessed he could not well understand either. Mr. Pitt complained of the invalidity of the sequestration that had been issued against him ; but his Lordship found that his predecessor had already dismissed a similar motion with costs. Mr. Pitt complained also of the attachment, but his Lordship's predecessor had also disposed of that ; and as to the pre sent motion, which, as far as he understood it, complained= of the amount taken under the sequestration, Mr. Pitt had not taken the proper method to bring the question before the Court. Any professional person could assist him on that point, and if there was anything in it, then it might be argued and disposed of ; but the motion now made had, in his Lordship's opinion, no ground whatever, and must be refused. His Lordship rose at half-past one, to attend the Counci VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 10. PYDROFT V. STEPHENSON AND PATNTER.- INJUNCTION. -- - _ Sir EDWARD SUDDEN applied this morning for an injunction ex parte to restrain _the defendants from erecting certain buildings in Clements-lane, Lombard-street, so as to obstruct the windows of the plaintiff. It appeared from the statements of the Learned Counsel, which were supported by affidavit, that the plaintiff was entitled to two houses, Nos. 14 and 15, Clements-lane. The defendants were entitled to No. 16 in the same street, which, in consequence of the improvement in the city, had been pulled down, and on that site, as it was sworn the defendants were erecting buildings in such a man ner as totally to exclude all light from several ancient windows on the premises of the defendant. His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 8. THE SING V. FORD AND SEVEN OTHERS. In this case, which was not concluded when we went to press, yesterday, the Jury returned a verdict finding that there was a positive refusal on the part of Ford to pay the taxes ; that Bolton and Drabble were guilty of the assault ; and that Fairfield, Neale, Eglington, Ford, and Langley, were accessories. '' Lord bENMAN said that that was a verdict of guilty against them all, and he directed that verdict to be entered. The case occupied from half-past nine in the morning till eight o'clock at night. On Tuesday a travelling knave played off' a singular trick upon the landlord of an inn near Rochdale. Having taken dinner and a bottle of wine, he fell into conversation with the landlord, and said he could teach him how to draw threepenny and the best ale out of the same cask. Boni.: face was of course desirous to learn so profitable an art ; and the parties descended into the cellar, taking with them' a large gimlet. The traveller bored a hole in one end of an 18-gallon cask of beer, and requested the landlord to . Place his finger upon that. He then left the cellar, under pretence of fetching his apparatus, and decamped, leaving the landlord with his fingers fully employed in taking care , of his beer, and minus dinner and a bottle of wine. When l the landlord's patience was exhausted in waiting, he called, for assistance, got the holes in the cask stopped, and in future, will be satisfied to draw one sort of beer out of one cask.—; Halifax Express. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE WESTLEY. Mr. Westley's final examination took place this day. Mr. Wood, solicitor to the commission, said that, as far as he was aware, none of the creditors of the bankrupt had the least objection to his being granted his certificate. They were all perfectly satisfied with his accounts and his conduct. Mr. Turquand, the official assignee, repeated the same statement in substance. Several debts were then proved, and the bankrupt was sworn. The Commissioner, on finishing the perusal of the bank rupt's schedule, said, " I see there is every probability of a considerable dividend for the creditors of Westley." The solicitor to the commission said that such was the fact, and that the dividend would be much larger were it not for the interweaving of the accounts with the True Sun newspaper. That was in Chancery at present, but he hoped something additional might be had for the creditors when the property of the late Mr. Hindmarsh came to be defini tively settled. Mr. Westley then obtained his certificate. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 10, John Seymour Cook, a young man described as late of Stafford-place, Pimlico, gentleman, was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on the part of a Mr. Toleman and twenty-nine other creditors. Ho was supported by Mr. COOKE (with whom was Mr. WOODROFFE.) The insolvent had formerly been a Cabinet-maker. He eloped in 1830 with Miss Clarissa Foxson, a ward in Chancery, whom he supposed would have a fortune of 2,0001. a year. They were married in September of the same year, and soon after the marriage he executed a deed of covenant to settle the property upon her when she be ' came of age, and in the event of his refusal the trustees threatened to apply to the Court of Chancery for his com mittal. The deed of settlement was only executed on Tuesday last. In 1832, the Court of Chancery, on the petition of the insolvent and his wife, granted him an al lowence of 3,0001., of which a portion was to be laid out in the purchase of a house and furniture, the remainder to put him into business as a timber merchant. His wife gave 1,0001. of the money away, and the residue was expended in the purchase of furniture, &c., which - was settled upon her. They resided in Prospect-place, •Kingsdown, near Bristol, and dealt with the tradesmen in the neighbourhood. The debts owing by the insolvent, and contracted since his marriage, amounted to 1,8001., and his wife had an income of 8001. a year, over which he had no controul. The greater portion of his debts were incurred in 1831. He admitted that he had concealed himself in his house for a year and a quarter to avoid his creditors. He came out on Sundays, and he believed during his retreat some shots were fired from the mansion, but he said they were not to " keep his creditors at a distance." An offer was made at this time by his wife to set aside 3201. a year out of her income until the debts were paid, but only 13 creditors out of 116 signed the agreement. The insolvent afterwards came to London, and he said he believed his creditors did not know where to find him. He was arrested in September, and now presented himself to be discharged from his debts. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN held that time should be given for the creditors to inspect the settlement on the wife, and that the description of the insolvent must be amended, and he would have to re-advertise. A copy of the settlement was ordered to be filed, and the case adjourned sine die. ' Mr. William Richard Goodluck, the well-known Lottery office keeper, applied upon his petition to be discharged. He was unopposed. • The insolvent's debts, it appeared, were not considerable, and he considered he had assets which would ultimately pay a large dividend. He had been connected with the Glasgow Lottery, and to that circumstance he ascribed his insolvency. He claimed a considerable sum from Mr. Bish, and the other contractors of that lottery. Mr. Goodluck, jun., prayed the Court to appoint a creditor assignee, unconnected with the lottery. Many of the creditors were under the influence of the contractors. The COURT appointed Mr. Williams and another creditor assignees. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Joseph Autey, the collecting clerk to the Gas Light and Coke Company, New Bridge•street, was brought before Alderman VENABLES, charged with embezzling 1,0.51/. Robert Lees, clerk to the Committee of Paving for St. George's, Hanover-square, was present on the 26th of Sep tember last, when the prisoner received from the Chairman a check for 1,0.51/. ls. 6d., and gave the receipt now pro duced. It was a payment in advance for the quarter due on Michaelmas day. A clerk from Messrs. Drummonds produced the check referred to, and said it was paid on the following day to Messrs. Ransoms (the prisoner's bankers). Mr. Cowell, the accountant to the Gas Company, iden tified the receipt produced as being in the handwriting of the prisoner. Herdesfield, the Guildhall officer, apprehended the pri soner at the Company's office, where, in consequence of some suspicious, he had been suddenly summoned to meet the Directors. When he found his embezzlements had been detected he cried bitterly. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOTV-STREET. Yesterday a man, dressed like a labourer, who gave his name William Harris, was charged with being concerned in robbing the chambers of Mr. William Henry Sawyer, soli citor, in Staple's Inn, of title deeds, drafts of briefs, account books, and other documents of great value to the prosecu tor, and with having sold them to various persons as waste parchment and paper. He was remanded until Monday next. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. James Tansley, the proprietor of the hackney coach 833, was summoned for obstructing the thoroughfare of Picca dilly by standing upon the rank between St. James's Church and the Haymarket. Mr. C. PHILLIPS attended for the gentlemen of St. James's, Westminster ; and Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, de fended the hackney-coach proprietor. The arguments pro. and con, were of considerable length.. _ Mr. Phillips contended for the necessity of removing the rank, as being not only the most intolerable nuisance but dangerous to life and property, accidents daily resulting from its continuance. Mr. Lewis argued upon the legal interpretation of the 57th of George 111. cap. 29. This had been an old rank, appointed by the Commissioners of Haekney Coaches, and had been recognised by the Commissioners of Stamps, a waterman having been appointed to it. Mr. C. Phillips said they could let it go to a distress for the nominal penalty, and then try their action for trover in the King's Bench. Mr. Lewis expressed some unwillingness to assent to this proposition. - Mr. Dwyer observed, that had it been by mutual consent he would have inflicted a nominal penalty. As the case stood he was in considerable difficulty. He could not con vict against his opinion of his right to do so. After some further conversation it was agreed by the contending parties that the case should be submitted to the Attorney-General for his opinion. A fresh summons was then taken, which will be decided by the opinion so given. THE BETROTHED.—This celebrated story, by Manzoni, forms the new volume of the very entertaining series of novels and romances published by Mr. Bentley. The se lections of the publisher are most unexceptionable and judicious. Tales of all lands, and of all characters, the domestic, the heroic, and the imaginative, come before us in turns; and the genius of all countries is put under contribution to form (in " The Standard Novels ") one of the most attractive and suc cessful collections that this age of cheap publications can boast. The time of the above tale is well chosen. The opening scene between the curate and the bravoes—the visit of Father Chris topher to the hold of the rich and titled robber—the midnight attack upon the cottage of Agnes—the capture of Lucy—the fearful quarrels, and the more fearful overtures to friendship, among the Milanese populace, though highly romantic, are at all events likely to happen in the state of society which the story is intended to delineate. " The Betrothed "• is well worthy to take its place with the former volumes of " The Standard Novels."—Morning Post. A BRILLIANT DISCOVERY.--A workman in the Jura, in the act of turning a piece of Levant wood, dis covered in it a large diamond, valued at 500,000 f. It would seem the diamond had been concealed in an opening made in the tree when young, and the wood had grown around it.—.. Galignani's Messenger. How TO FRIGHTEN AWAY TIIE HICCUP. —But, reader, one word with you first. You have heard, no doubt, of many memorable deeds performed by fire. You have read that somebody set fire to Troy, Alexander to Persepolis, Nero to Rome, a baker to London, and a rascally Caliph to the Alexandrian library, but did you ever know of a man setting fire to his own shirt to frighten away the hiccup ? Such, how ever, is the climax I have alluded to ; and this was the man ner.in which it was performed :-4 , D____ this hiccup," said Mytton, as he stood undressed on the floor, apparently in the act of getting into his bed ; " but I'll frighten it away i" so seizing alighted candle, applied it to the tail of his shirt, and —it being a cotton one —was instantly enveloped in flames. Now, how was his life saved ? is the next question that might be asked. Why, by the active exertions of his London custo mer, and of another stout and intrepid young man who was in the room, who jointly threw him down on the ground and tore his shirt from his body, piecemeal, Then, here again comes John Mytton.
