SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish, from an Evening Paper, the report of an anti-Reform meeting in Scotland, composed of feeeho/ders, magistrates, &c., —Tory tools, as may be well imagined, of the powers heretofore exercis. lug dominion over a Scottish county. If that report contains matter to excite contempt or indignation in other respects, in one it has moved our compassion and sincere regret. It presents to us the picture of Sir Walter Scott,—broken down by disease and conscious infirmity, but urged on by what still re• mains of the original tendencies and vivid impres sions of his high feudal spirit,—condescending to be come, at this heart-inspiring moment, the mourner for condemned absurdities. Has, then, the Living earth whirled on, and left the grey novelist alone 1.1 his land of self-created mist and light—of courts, and camps, and chiefs, and dames, and lakss, and towers, and multifarious witchery ? Long still may this great ruler of the realms of fiction enjoy and communicate to others those delights which an ac sive cultivation of the resources of 1 :s own vast do main is so well calculated to furnish ! Within that region, Sir Walter Scott need indulge no revolu tionary terrors : there, no conspiracy tan molest his person—no republican will deg arn of attempting to undermine his throne. He rules and will rule over a loyal universe ! but e!es! who shall name his suc cessor ? This mighty minister to the innocent pleasures of his own arid future ages would never theless do wisely to know the limits of his proper field, and to act within it. He ;as made histors, whenever he touched it, a romanee. His plities are als early a chimera.—Tunes. Mr. Stanley on Thursday evening explained the proposed Reform Bill in its application to Ireland. The details are not of much interest here, except in a few particulars-Ist. The close corpnrations are to be opened as concerns the elective franchise.- 2. Four of the more important towns, viz. Belfast, Waterford, Limerick, and Galway, are to have each a second representative.-3. The University of Dublin is to return two members instead of one; and its body of electors are to he increased by the admission of all persons who ever have been " scholars of the House," instead of the franchise being confined to those in the actual enjoyment of their scholarships, and who, therefore, never hitherto (at least in modern times) have enjsyed it for a longer term than five years. The Irish Members who spoke upon the occasion appeared to be highly sensible of the advantages which the Bill would confer upon their country. Their being no copy hold tenures in Ireland, the only alteration effected by the new measure in the county constituency of that island will be the letting in of 501. lease holders, in addition to the 10/. freeholders. But it was suggested, and we think with reason, that the general residence of the tenant should be made a condition of the title to vote. — Late as it is in the day for obsolete follies to show themselves, the introduction of the Irish Bill could not be let pass, without another attempt by the borough-champions to put on record their disregard of public opinion, and their animosity against all manner of Reform. The speeches of the Opposition throughout that evening we have read, undoubtedly with little surprise, but with still less respect for the (endow or intelligence of the speakers. Sir Henry Hardinge, a blurt, but once a hard-headed gentle man, repeats the old silliness of this Reform being but a step-ladder towards universal suffrage, &c. Now, as the Right Hon. Gentleman, in another part of his discourse, attacks the measure for its drawing a line (which had hitherto had no exist ence) between the classes which have property and those which have none, by totally excluding the lower orders from power, he admits, in fact, that the " revolution" which he deprecates is a revolution in favour of property, confining all the franchises and political privileges of the Constitution to those who have 10/. a year in land, or can afford to pay an equal sum for their habitation. Well, then, is it through the agency of such people that the power is to be taken out of their own hands, and transferred or extended to the paupers of the empire, by means of universal suffrage ? Anti if the new constituency and new representatives of Eng land, embracing within them all the fixed property of the realm, and excluding all the want of property, shall require further change in our institutions, how can Sir Henry Hardinge prevent it ? If times and men's dispositions move forward, by what adaman tine boundary can the Anti-Reformist of 1831 re strain the institutions of society from following such their natural conductors ? Is the restraining force now, when so vast a mass of property is excluded from the Constitution, and insulted and provoked by the arbitrary despotism of the boroughs—is, we say, the force which strives to prevent all further change, more capable of attaining that object now, with vast property, and vast numbers of proprietors thrown into the scale of the excluded rabble, than it will be with the accession of all that property and those numbers to its own side of the question, and with nothing but the veriest rabble to apprehend ? But, again we ask Sir Henry Hardinge, what can he do ?—by what spell can he strike dumb the voice of 20 millions of discontented subjects ?—by what might can he strike powerless the arm of an entire nation, united and resolved—physically and morally so tenacious and immovable as the English nation ? Can this gallant soldier, but most shallow and unreflecting Statesman, figure to himself what would he the state of Great Britain and Ireland if the Reform Bill were thrown out to-morrow, and if the Ministers were such false and despicable beings at to resign their offices, instead of appealing to the people ? New Ministers would be invited by the Crown. Well, what Ministers other than staunch and unflinching Reformers—to at least the full ex tent of the present Bill—would dare to accept the incitation ? But, for argument sake, let us suppose that a new Ministry could be actually formed, and on the principle either of anti-reform, which seems to be the ground taken up by Sir Robert Peel, for the first time on Thursday evening, or on that of a Reform far more contracted than that now contem plated by the existing Cabinet of Lord Grey. What next ? Why, there is not a county, city, town, vil lage, parish, hamlet, of the United Kingdom, from which petitions would not pour in upon his Majesry praying him to dismiss that odious administration, to recall Lord Grey, and, by dissolving Parliament, to enable his faithful subjects, so far as the pre sent vicious constitution of the elective fran chise permitted, to choose representatives more united in sentiment with themselves. Could any Ministry encounter such a storm ? Would the Crown itself then be safe ? Sir Henry Har dinge, :and a few other soldiers, with well-strung nerves, might talk about governing for a while with the bayonet, but a short trial of that experiment would cure them. Then, with a House of Com mons, which, notwithstanding its mob of boroughs members, is so nearly, if not entirely, balanced on this question, let Sir Robert Peel answer us. Could he carry on the most ordinary public business for even a single week ? No, unquestionably. Why then he, Sir R. Peel, the anti-reform Ministt r, must dissolve the Parliament and appeal to a ?Vanning station! Is not the very dream • of such an extrava gance enough to show the madness of the Peel end Wellington opposition in their resistance to this mighty change? Sir R. Peel is fairly run down, for we find that for the hundredth time he stammers out that most revolting nonsense about the merit of the rotten boroughs in sending a dozen clever men to Parliament in the space of half a century. How often must we repeat that the people are as eager in their inquiries for men able to do their business as any borough patrons can be, and that able men alone will be looked for by the people, whereas they are seldom thought of by borough Lords until the whole tribe of brothers, nephews, cousins, &c., have been first provided for—and a glorious set of national representatives we find them. But why is it (as a general question) that such clever men are sought out by the borough patron at all ? Is it fee the public good that he promotes them ? For instance, look at the galaxy of youthful genius which shines upon us from the Newcastle sky—the graceful Attwood, the solemn Sadler, and Wetherell, who seasons the so-11 tier wisdom of Punch with the classic salt of Gri4 maldi. These are youths of no mean promise we' admit, but why is it that the Duke of Newest resorts to them ? What benefit has his Grace, through their agency, bestowed upon the people a' England ? Would it not be better that these per sonages, nominees for Boroughbridge, &c., &c., should meet in the hall of Clu:nber rather than in St. Stephen's, forming there a little domestic senate under the presideeey of their patron, the sage and plilososophic Dulee, and amuse themselves with in venting penal codes foe the refractory vassals of Newark ; father than attempt to humbug the Eng lish nation by hashing up for Sir R. Peel the cold .ad stale jest of-a natural sympathy between the qualifications of men of genius and the menial services to which a borough patron consigns them This audacious abuse of words could never have been neerd but in an assembly where the multitude of offenders against the first principle of representa tive government are to each other a common pro tection. Henceforth, when, by the wise provisions of the Reform Bill, the expenses of popular elec tions shall be reduced almost to nothing, a man of character and talent will make his way into the House of Commons with far more average proba bility than he now does by licking the footstool of a Lord; and the solid advantage thence acquired is, that when there, he must be dependent on the esteem of his constituents,—not on any great man's cupidity or caprice.—Tinier. If the proposed measure of Parliamentary Reform be revolutionary in the odious sense of the word— that is, if it have a tendency to unsettle the foun dations of public order and security—it is very strange that it should have among its most zealous promoters a large proportion of that class of per sons who are peculiarly sensitive as to the conse quences of any, rash or inconsiderate changes in the social structure, and have more to lose than other people in general by measures subversive of public confidence, and dangerous to the public tranquillity. We allude to the merchants and bankers of London who thronged the Egyptian-hall on Friday, to re cord their opinions in favour of the great measure which is to give the people of England a real repre sentation in the House of Commons, and thereby to restore the beauty and excellence of the Constitu tion, which the usurped power of a proud oligarchy had nearly destroyed, while they substituted in its place a supremacy unknown to the laws, injurious to the just prerogative of the Crown, and destruc tive of the political rights of the people. That the opinions of the merchants and bankers of London upon the subject of the Reform Bill are of the very first importance is admitted by the enemies of the measure, who laid thegreatest possible stress upon the declaration lately signed by certain commercial and moneyed men in opposition to Reform; although the persons who affixed their names to a document, of which, if they acted from no other motive than pure patriotism, and with no other object than to save the country from revolutionary horrors, they ought to have felt proud, were actually ashamed to call a public meeting, and to do that in the light of day, and in the face of their fellow-citizens, which loses nearly all its force by being advocated with that equivocal zeal which flies for refuge to darkness. Let any one compere the open, manly, and fearless conduct of the commercial men who composed the meeting at which the Lord Mayor presided, with the timid secrecy of proceeding which characterised the operations of the promoters of the London de claration against Reform, and what a contrast pre sents itself! On the one side a bold appeal to public opinion—on the other a shrinking from all discussion ; on the one side energy—on the other cunning; on the one side frank intrepidity—on the other cautious management and moral cowardice. Who can be surprised at such a contrast who reflects upon the different nature of the cause which each patty had to support—the former claiming the resti tution of the rights of which the people had been robbed by a long course of aristocratic spoliation ; the latter endearotning to screen from the pursuing steps of justice the plunderers of the people's birth right, and the receivers of the stolen property ? Was it not natural that the one party should court the light, as having only the truthto disclose; and that the other should fear it, as conscious guilt fears detection ? We are aware that some names of respectable persons were signed to the declaration against Re form ; but their conduct was not respectable in pre tending a high degree of zeal upon a vital question of national policy, arid meanly shrinking front dis cussion. There was nothing of English manliness of action about it. If they knew the cause to be bad, they should not have come forward to advocate it at all ; and, if they believed it to be good, they should not have betrayed it by taking counsel of their fears. Can it be for an instant supposed that, if those persons really held the opinion that the pro posed plan of Reform would overturn the most va luable institutions of the country—would render property insecure, rind break down the gradatioes of rank into a wild mass of democratic confusion—they could restrain themselves from opposing it in that decided and energetic manner in which men ought ever to defend their best and dearest interests when they believe them threatened with destruction ? Nobody can suppose that, if they believed what they themselves state in their secretly-prepared de claretion, they would timidly abstain from giving expression to their sentiments in that way which is calculated to communicate the feeling to others, and to produce an impression on the public mind. But the fact is, they do not, and they cannot, believe what they have asserted, and which is to the effect that the Constitution of England means nothing but the supremacy of the boroughmongers—that it revolu tionary measure is one which peacefully restores to the people the protection of a true representative system—and that the greatness of the empire must decline in proportion as the rotten excrescences which have encumbered its Constitution are re moved, and the practice and the theory of the most magnificent contrivance of political wisdom and ex perience are reconciled to each other, and made con formable to what reason dictates, and civilization de mands. It is clear that such a measure is conser vative—not revolutionary. The rotten borough sys tem provoked revolution—this is calculated to pre vent it. So thought the merchants and bankers who moved and seconded the resolutions in its fa vour at the Mansion-house, and who have more to lose by revolution than any equal number of borough proprietors in England. Well did they respond to the energetic appeal of the Chief Magistrate of the first city of the empire, who has supported the cause of Reform with agility and decision, which entitles him to the gratitude of his fellow subjects. Their voice shall be heard throughout the empire, and shall increase that determined and enthusiastic feeling which rushes in a majestic current of constitutional power to sweep away the bulwarks of corruption, and cleanse the chosen land of rational liberty from political defilement.—Morning Herald. Far be it from us to wish to under-rate the im portance of retrenchment, wherever practicable. There are, however, times and seasons for every thing ; and we could wish that at the present time, when all honest men are anxious for the success of a measure which will enable the people, through their representatives, to prevent all unnecessary ex penditure, and rescue the Government from a de pendence on those whose aid must be purchased by an abuse of patronage, the Ministry should not be too &tidy pressed in money matters. It seldom happens in this world that w 2 can have every thing exactly as we %Nish it ; and it may be well for Re formers to consider that it would be an ill-judged economy, which, for the sake of saving a few thou sands at present, should hazard a measure under which the property of the . people will hereafter enjoy a security which it has never yet known. We are not for one moment supposing the possibility of any set of men being able to conduct the business of the country on principles hostile to Reform. We know that the spirit of the nation would prove an over-match for all the interests which could be ar rayed against Reform. But we know, at the same time, the power of the enemies of Reform in the House cf Commons; and it may be wise to abstain carefully from whatever has a tendency to add to their number, and thereby throw difficulties in the way of the passing of the Reform Bill. The fol lowing extract from the John Bull of yesterda. touches on the point to whichweare alluding : " In the Committee on the Civil List, the Chancellor of the Exchequer declined adopting the retrenchments recommended by the Select Committee, and very justly ridiculed the idea of reducing the public expenditure by such paltry sums as those named in the report. " The most amusing part of this affair, so wonderfully satisfactory to Ministers, is, that the Duke of Wellington'. Government resigned, because the then Opposition carried the appointment of this very Civil List Committee against them. The Committee, which the Whigs gained, was appointed—and, after six weeks' deliberation, recommended reduction and retrenchment to the amount of 11,5481. This recommendation of their own Committee, the ap pointment of which alone transferred the Administration of Government to their hands, the now Ministers reject. " When this monstrous inconsistency began to develope itself, amidst the confusion and untelligibility of Lori Al thorp's oratory, it was most curious to observe the rapid departure from the House of almost all the county and in. fluential Members, who are, or hare been until now, in the habit of supporting Ministers. Had the present Opp°- , position chosen to serve their successors, as their successors, when they were in Opposition, served them, and divided upon this unparalleled piece of conduct, the said Ministers would again have been in a vast minority—but Mr. Goulburn, with that dutiful affection for the Sovereign, and that honourable regard for consistency, which bare marked his whole conduct, and that of his colleagues, since they quitted office, supported Lord Althorp in his submission to the opinions of his predecessors, and the Whir measure of reduction was scouted unanimously. " This is another Whig Victory." . Now, without for one moment questioning the patriotic determination of the King, and the cor diality which prevails between him and his Mini sters, we still keep in mind, that the people, by whom Kings and Queens are surrounded, are, in nire cases out of ten, strangers to all patriotic and liberal feelings, and even the best constituted minds are apt to be influenced- by the language they con stantly hear. Some of the enemies of Reform may possess more adroitness than the Duke of Glouces ter, and by giving a false colour to one circumstance, and misrepresenting another, may gradually produce impressions difficult to be altogether removed. We could wish, therefore, that as little handle should be afforded to this ill-defended class as possible. The illustrious personage to whom we alluded last week is far from being the most dangerous enemy to Re form within the precincts of the Palace. It is, above all things of importance that the peace of the country be not disturbed. The Bill must be passed. That we hold to be a matter of absolute certainty. The people will stand by the Ministers who have so generously embarked in their cause. But much will depend on the circumstances which precede the passing of the measure. We are, there fore, anxious, above all, to avoid throwing any un necessary difficulties in the way of Ministers.— Morning Chronicle. The joy diffused throughout the country, in con sequence of the second reading of the Bill, has ex ceeded any thing which has ever been known, even on the occasion of the greatest victories. At Liver pool there was the greatest rejoicing—at Bolton a gerund illumination would have token place but for the interference of a few sordid ultras—at Birming ham an illumination did actually take place, and the bells were made to ring a merry peal in honour of the King, the Ministers, and the people—at Cam bridge people were seen romping in all directions, ma►.y of them shouting as if they wrre crazy, and the University hells rang all but the death-knell of corruption. But it is needless to enumerate the places which have signalized their joy upon the oc casion ; for the joy- is universal, and they must be mad indeed, beyond all cure, who dream of a suc cessful opposition to the Bill. Defeated it may be in the Committee: but defeated it will not be ulti mately; and the only question is, therefore, a mere question of time—a question of a few months, but not of even one year.—Morning Advertiser. Will Parliament be dissolved before the Bill goes into a Committee of the House? is the question which every one is now asked by his neighbour, but to which it is impossible, at this moment, to give a satisfactory answer. We can state positively, that it will be dissolved in case of any infraction of the great principles of the Bil‘ and conseqvietit-ift feat of Ministers in the Committee, or on the third reading; but whether it will be dissolved before trying the temper of a Committee of the whole House, is contingent on numerous circumstances, which we cannot at present specify. The prevailing opinion is in favour of going into a Committee, and proceeding to a dissolution on the occurrence of the first successful attempt to defeat the Bill; and we are strongly inclined to believe that such will be the po licy adopted. The question is not material either way; for there must be a dissolution at the end of the session, and the only difference will be, that the defeat of the Bill will involve two dissolutions in stead of one. Look at this, anti-Reformers, and consider whether it brill not be better for you to pass the Bill at once, and tints satisfy the country, and save your own purses at the same moment. A double election is no joke !—Morning Advertiser. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. NOTICES OF MOTIONS AND ORDERS OF THE DAY W/11C11 STAND IN THE ORDER-BOOK FOR THE PRESENT WEEK.

The recent dismissals from the Royal House hold became, it is s iid, indispensable, to convince the whis perers to the contrary that the KING was in earnest in his support of the Ministers on the question of Reform. A fountain has been erected at the cost of the Duke of BEDFORD, on the terrace at Covent Garden market, between the two conservatories. It is not very large. The design is very handsome: seven or eight small jets of water spring from a circle, in the centre of which is a larger jet. The circle is composed of lotus leaves on the top of a vase, and the water falls into a pa ter& of an elegant firm, where it overflows into a basin formed with a fine bold curve. Polished Devon granite is the material of which the whole design is composed. This fountain will prove, in warm weather—should we ever be favoured with any—a most agreeable addition to the chums of the terraces, where the conservatories contain a fine collection of plants, both exotic and indigenous, many of which are in fall lower. POLICE thELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Some days ago the particulars of a robbery, committed , upon Charles Louis, Viscount de la Vielle, in Paris, by his valet, Reynard, appeared in the daily pipers. The pri soner had stolen between 500/. and 9001. in gold coin from his master, with whom he had lived for 20 years, and by whom lie had b,en treated with the greatest kind ness and indulgence. He had been told that he should have his liberty if he would consent to give up all claim to the money, most of which now lies in the hands of Mr. Cope, the marshal ; but he had received such a lesson while in prison, that he determined upon persevering in his claim, although he bad acknowledged to Mr. Cope that he had committed the robbery. On Saturday an extraordinary scene took place, exciting very great interest, but causing general regret that the international law between England and the Continent is so extremely defective. The prisoner was brought up for a second examination. Upon being put to the bar he appeared determined on a decisive course. The LORD MAYOR asked him whether he was disposed to give up his master's property ?—The prisoner shook his head and said in French—" No, no, it is my own, and I shall not give up a farthing of it." Mr. Barnes, Solicitor for the Count, feared his Lord ship had no alternative but that of discharging the pri soner. The Loan Mayolt was very sorry for it, and asked whether Prince Talleyrand and the Secretary of State had been applied to on the subject ?—The Secretary to the French Ambassador'said that Prince Talleyrand had de clined interfering in a case of the kind, as such interfer ferenee would not be consonant with the general practice, but his Excellency was mast desirous that, if possible, the money should be restored to the master. The prisoner's attorney submitted that no one would be justified in detaining his client's money. The Loan MAYOR-It le greatly to be lamented that so great a villain should be allowed to escape ; and I hope that his Majesty's Government will add to the great cha racter they have achieved by preventing England from being a place of refuge to such characters. The prisoner was standing very calmly at the bar, evidently indifferent to what was going forward. At this moment a door opened opposite to the place in which he was, and his aged master suddenly appeared before him. Such an appearance, it was evident to all, was wholly un expected by the prisoner, whose countenance underwent an instantaneous change. Ilis lip quivertd, and the hand with which lie held the bar trembled. The Count immediately went over to the prisoner, who was making a desperate effort to appear unconcerned, and addressed him in French to the following effect :—" Why have you treated a kind master with such ingratitude? What provocation did I ever give to you, that you should deprive me of my property? Did I ever deny you any request ? Did you ❑ot find me a physician to you when you were Pick, and had you ever any reason to reproach me with being a severe, or an unreasonable, or an intem perate master? Answer me." The prisoner uttered not a word, but trembled ex cessively. The Count—" Well, you admit that I have been all this. How, then, could you force your nature to do me this injustice ? For twenty years you have been treated confidentially and affectionately, and by way of recom• pence you rob me! You have compelled me to alter my will, in which I had not forgotten those whom I believed to be my faithful servants. In my old age you fret me with an act of ingratitude, which it is impossible for me to reflect upon without the deepest pain ; and what more bitterly grieves me is, that you are so hardened in guilt as to persist in keeping the plunder. This species of offence must give the people of this country a dreadful opinion of ours ; never was there witnessed at an English Court of Justice an instance of a man who, having committed a robbery and confessed it, and exhibited symptoms of com punction, turned round upon the person he had injured, and abandoned the just feeling by which he was visited ! Is it possible that youjrefuse to give me back nay own ? You have now an opportunity of retrieving your cha racter in some degree : seize that opportunity, and I shall forgive you from my heart." The prisoner, after considerable hesitation, said, but in a voice almost inaudible, " No, Sir; the money is not yours; it is mine." Mr. nobler begged that the Count would hold no fur ther conversation with so base a villain. The Count s iid it was almost incredible that such a case could occur. Ile bad never before suspected the pri soner capable of a dishonest action. The Loitn MAYOR again regretted that lie could not act in the case. Be hoped that no part of the money would be given up to so great a villain, and told him to quit the office. We understand that Mr. Cope afterwards gave up the money he had taken from the prisoner to the Count, upon receiving an indemnification. The Conn! had been Ambassador to Constantinople in the reign of Louis XVIII., and has a pension of 200,000 francs a-year. G U ILD HALL. On Saturday a young man, named Charles Roberts, was charged before Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER with stealing a suit of clothes from a child about five years old, the son of James Harding, of Windsor -street, Islington. It appeared that the prisoner enticed the child from its father's door under the pretence of getting it to hold a donkey, and after treating the poor little fellow with an orange in Cloth-fair, coaxed it into a privy at the back of a public-house in West-street, Smithfield, and persuaded him to pull off his clothes under the pretence of getting them brushed a little, promising to return with them pre sently and bring him a pretty live bird. Some time after, the child was found shivering with the cold, from being stripped to his shirt, and was conveyed home to his pa rents. The prisoner being slightly known at the shop where he bought the orange, was traced and apprehended on Friday. The prisoner did not make any defence. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER considered the case one of an aggravated nature, on account of the anxiety it must have occasioned to the parents, and remanded the prisoner till Monday. B 0 TV-STREET. On Saturday several publicans appeared before the magistrates, to answer to complaints preferred against them by the officers of F division, for harbouring im proper characters in their houses, and permitting gambling and other acts of disorder therein, contrary to the tenure of their licences. The landlord of the King's Head, James-street, Covent-garden, having pleaded guilty, was fined in the mitigated penalty of 10s. The landlord of the Ship, in the same street, whose name is James Mills, was then called upon, when his wife appeared for him. Mr. HA LLs asked if Mills was not an attorney:in Hatton garden, and being answered in the affirmative, he directed the case to stand over until the defendant should 'appear in person, observing, it was a scandalous thing that a re gularly admitted attorney should act as the landlord of a public-house, and that, too, one in which robberies were nightly committed. The landlord of the Old Fountain, in Catherine -street, Strand, was fined 10s. for suffering cards to be played in his house; and Clark, the landlord of the White Lion, in Wych-street, was fined 40s. for harbouring improper characters, he having frequently bee❑ fined be fore for the same offence. The Magistrates expressed their determination to stop the licence of this house altogether at the next licensing day. MARLBORO U GM- STREET. On Saturday night, just as Mr. CONANT, the sitting Magistrate, was about quitting the bench, an individual of respectable appearance, and who, it was said, is in an extensive line of business at the west end of the town, applied for his advice under the following extraordinary circumstances appeared from the statement of the applicant, that he had married, about two years since, a highly respectabl e female, whom he believed, till the pre ceding afternoon, to have been faithful to his bed. Un fortunately, however, he and his wife, last year, visited Fairlop Fair, where she became acquainted with an indi dual who, by his seducing manners, ultimately effected his purpose. Shortly after he demanded money of her, under a threat that if she refused he would betray her to her husband. She then consented to his demand ; which, however, was no sooner satisfied than he again made appli cation for further supplies, which the unfortunate woman had from time to time banded over to him. About six months since the headless and seducing wretch got mar ried, and the wife of the applicant was in hopes that he would allow her to remain in peace ; but she was mis taken ; for he not only came himself and demanded money when her husband was from home, but actually, on more than one occasion, sent the woman he had been united to. The applicant's wife became alarmed at the frequent calls for money, and determined, on a request being made for about 17!., to refuse it. This incensed her se ducer, who, taking the opportunity when she was alone, came to her residence, and threatened, by holding a razor to her throat, to put an end to her exist ence if she did not comply with his exorbitant demand. The threat had the desired effect, and the money, a few days after, was forthcoming. Subsequently to this trans action he forced her to sign a bond for the payment of 20!. on a certain day, which, combined with the preced ing circumstances, so preyed on her mind, that she be came alarmingly ill. The applicant sainly endeavoured for some time to know the cause of her altered appear ance, and his wife, in an agony of grief, partially dis closed to him the particulars. His feelings on such an occasion were poignant in the extreme ; but as his wife had not mentioned any thing about the bond she had signed, he was thunderstruck on a letter falling into his hands from the destroyer of his happiness, peremptorily demanding payment of the 201. from his wife. Not knowing how to act in this peculiarly distressing condi tion, he thought it most advisable to apply at this office for the advise of the Magistrate. Mr. CONANT was sorry he could not afford him any redress under the circumstances, but if his,-wife consi dered. that she feared some since from the Ilisrson alyed to, and would. cone and make4th of it, awartaut should be granted ftT,lais apprehension; The applicant thanked the vorthy Magistrate, and re. tired with a &termination, as we understood, of bringing his wife up this day, that a warrant may be issued against her seducer. A young woman, of the name of Charlotte Southwell, was charged with stealing a ring, valued at 1,4 e., the pro perty of her master. The prisoner lived in the service of Mr. Clapp, surgeon, 35, Castle-street East, in August last, previous to which period many things had been missing, among which was the ring in question. Since that time she was discharged ; but on its being ultim teiy ascertained that the prisoner had given the ring to a Air. Beer, of 4, Duke-street, Pimlico, tripernan, she was ap prehended, when her fellow-servant, MirySrnith, came forward and swore that she saw the prisoner. ~steal the ring from a drawer in her mistress's bed-room. The prisoner, who, on being placed at the bar, fainted away, which circumstance caused her agonised mother to drop on her knees, and implore mercy for her daughter, solemnly asserted that she had purchased the ring from the witness, Mary Smith, for 4,. Mr. Clapp here observed that the prisoner' was in the habit of allowing male prisoners to visit her as early as five o'clock in the morning, when in his service ; and on one occasion a valuable clock was missing, which, for what he knew, might have been taken by one of the individuals who paid such unseasonable visits. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. MAR YLEB ONE. On Saturday Mr. John Cutotoor, of Henry-street, Hampstead-road, was charged by Mrs. Reynolds, his next door neighbour, with assaulting her, and annoying their family. The parties had been before Mr. RAwLINsoN the preceding day. Mr. RaavtiNsoN thought it might be better to hold the warrant still over, in suspense, for the purpose of its be ing at any time re-exocuted if necessary. UN I ON- HALL. Thomas Harrison, a youth 16 years of age, reading boy in the employment of Messrs. Rivington, printer, was charged with uttering twelve • counterfeit half-crowns. The prisoner's father gave bin, a most excellent charac ter, and said he had been inveigled into a public-house in Peter-street by some utterers of base coin, two of whom have been tried. The prisoner was committed for trial. SMYRNA. (From the Brighton Gazette.) We have received the following letter from Smyrna, and call particular attention to the passage marked in italics. Thanks to Navarin and a liberal English Ministry, Russia has thus at length attained lor long and fondly cherished object of a footing in the Mediterranean. Some doubt has, we observe, been thrown by • the English papers upon the intended monopoly; which is mentioned by our corres pondent " SMYRNA, FEB. 7. " The Turkish Government, as is well known here, are about to monopolize the whole of the silk and opium trade, and make Constantinople the grand depot for those articles, as well as for all other goods and valuable produce exported from this country. Tire value of such articles will thus be macre ised in England ; but as the Sultan is more partial to, and puts more trust in Great Britain than in any other Power, he may possibly enter into a commercial treaty, or in some way give peculiar advantages to her. As a proof of his fa vourable disposition towards the Christians, the Sultan.has recently published an edict forbidding the Turks to call the Christians " dogs,"—an epithet which has beeit always until now in general use,—and ordering his sub jects henceforth to be on more favourable terms with them. I bad the information from a very respectable merchant in Constantinople, and I have no doubt of its , truth. • " The Paella of Smyrna tas applied for and obtained. his dismissal, on account, it i5 . 044;:0f advanced age ; and another is appointed to suet:4o4ln. The Sultan is making improvements, not only 'An his army, but in the navy also. Among other things he has lately introduced into the dock-yard at Constantinople a steam-engine for sawing timber, and an engine for rolling capper for the navy. " The schools established here by the American Mis sionaries are going on very prosperously ; but the Turks are sadly deficient in agricultural industry. Vast tracts of land, even in the vicinity of the capital, lie dormant, ant; yet it is a rich and most fertile soil. " There has been a conference recently at Constanti nople, held by the Bishops, &c. of the Armenians, who are very numerous in this country, respecting the precepts of the Bible. The result has been a conviction that many of their tenets are erroneous, and they have accordingly re. nounced them. The Greeks, too, in Smyrna, as well as throughout Greece, are anxious to possess the Scriptures ; and even many of the Jews, who are also in great nulls berm, manifest, notwithstanding the persecution of their Rabbis, a similar desire. " Yeu probably know that the Russians are making an arsenal and dock-yard at Faros, in Greece. A ship has lately arrived at St. Petersburgh, with stores for that purpose." The Ministers, to be prepared for a dissolu tion, on Friday presented almost all their remaining Esti mates ; and, on reference to the " Parliamentary Notices," it will be seen that this evening they intend to move the Estimates for the Volunteer Corps, the Ordnance, Civil Contingencies, Navy Estimates, &c. They will hardly be able to get them all through before the Easter recess ; but they may be so forwarded as to be prepared for the events resulting from going into Committee on the English Re form Bill on the 14th of April, two days after the re assembling of Parliament. Lord J. RUSSELL, acting on the principle avowed by Sir J. GRAHAM before the Christmas recess, that the Government would first sub. mit their measures to the present Parliament, and, being defeated by the House, might they: appeal to the country, on Friday repeated his determination to press the Bill forward to Committee on the 14th of April, adding that he should not assume that the House would defeat a Bill, the second reading of which it had sanctioned. What hope there may be from the Committee, others, perhaps, are quite as competent to judge as his Lordship. Mr. C. WYNN, one of his Lordship's colleagues, for instance, voted for the Bill ; but he declared that, in the Com mitt,e, he should oppose the first clause—that is, the clause which disfranchises the sixty boroughs—and many who were for the second reading will support the opposi tion to that clause. That, in such case, the Ministers must be in a minority, supposing all those 301 who op posed the Bill will also oppose the several provisions of it, is clear enough; but it is also as clear, from Lord J. Rus sxr.es declaration on Friday of the resolution to go to the Committee, that the Ministers are determined, as we have intimated, by constantly reminding our readers of the pledge or explanation given by Sir J. GRAHAM before the Christmas recess, they would du—namely, to sustain de feat in that House before they appealed to the country.— Defeat will, in a manner clear and comprehensible enough to all, they argue, justify the appeal, or dissolution ; and, as the Committee approaches, the Parliament's " Fortune" may be easily told, if some new light should not; during the recess, break in upon the 301 ; and, as the days are gradually lengthening, who can venture to foretel what may he the miraculous effects of increased light ? But should not the new light come, the (lays of the Parliament are numbered, as surely as the names of the 301 are " re gistered" in our columns.-21forning Herald. Afracas in high life has occurred within the last day or two, which has caused much talk amongs! all to whom the circumstance has become known. We have heard a variety of versions of the affair, but we b.:- lieve the following to be ►he facts :—On the occasion of the baptism of the younge:A child of a celebrated leader of haut ton, an illustrious personage, who condescended to take a prominent character in the ceremony, was gra ciously pleased to forward a douc•eur of fifty guineas to the nurse. This circumstance being known to the holy of the mansion, she felt desirous that so munificent a pre sent should be participated in by others of the household, and intimated her commands to that effect. The nurse, however, firmly resisted any infringement of her preroga tive, " from time immemorial used and approved of" in all family mansions. The matter was referred to the noble and gallant lord of the mansion, and it is added that in the warmth of the debate he made so forcible an appeal to the nurse's feelings as to strike her with astonish ment, for which she has since sought redress from the Magistrates of Marlborough-street Police-office, who have recommended such an amende as has set the matter at rest. ELECTION COMMITTEE, MARcil 26. LIVERPOOL. At half-past six o'clock, this evening, the Committee came to the following resolutions:— The CIIAIRMAN.-The first Resolution ix, that William Ewart, Esq. is duly elected to serve as a burgess for the borough of Liverpool ?—NEGATIVED. Second Resolution—That the election of a burgess for the borough of Liverpool be declared null and void AGREED TO. Third Resolution—That the petition against the Return is neither frivolous nor vexatious ?.....AGREED TO. Fourth Resolution—That the opposition to the said pe. tition is neither frivolous nor vexatious ?—AGREED TO. SPECIAL REPORT. It is the opinion of this Committee that the most gross bribery and corruption was practised at the late election for the borough of Liverpeol. The Committee were deliberating nearly three hciurs before they delivered their decision, during which time the greatest anxiety appeared to prevail amongst the numerous assemblage. The interest appeared greater than was ever w . :nessed on any former occasion. This decision, although it unseats Mr. Ewalt, does not (as the resolutions do nut charge him with bribery) in capacitate him from again offering himself as a candidate during the present Parliament.

In addition to the baseness of some of those who opposed the Ministers on Friday, which we have ex posed in a subsequrnt article, there has come to our know ledge another disgraceful ebullition of unprincipled, and dishonourable factiousness, which has displayed itself among the Peelites, and which is of later date. V must explain that, upon a ballot taking place for an Election Committee, every gentleman who has previous! served is excused from serving again ; and as no m an like to serve upon an Election Committee if he can help it: every Member, upon his name being called, usually auswert " Served." On Tuesday evening, however, when tho Committee was charged with the fate of so important f. personage as the Lord Advocate of Scotland, the Peelitelt. thought fit to waive all such considerations, and depar ins from a course which precedent and custom had re - .. tiered sacred, whenever a partisan of the Peelites hea r his name called, he answered to it, whether he bad sery ' or not. The result was, that the gentlemen whose mama are upon the subjoined list answered to their name 4 thosewith a " affixed ttl them having:previously served.
