SPIRIT OP . *lll PUBLIC JOURNALS. We are pleased' with the right feeling and good sense of an article which appeared in a paper (the Sphynx) of last Saturday, on the subject of the Royal Marines. The Lord High Admiral has, it must be admitted, said and done a great deal, even more than might have been required of him, to distinguish by his cour tesies that meritorious but neglected corps. His Royal Highness has taken the trouble to deliver very full and authentic narratives of the services rendered by the Marines to their King and Country ; but, except in the article of presenting them with new standards, which are never to be waved before en enemy, the Lord High Admi ral has not, that we can learn, furnished, any in dication of the mode in which their serviees— and,their long and patient sufferings; ought—in the opinion of his Royal Highness, to be requited by the Government, of which they: deserve so well. We agree with the, journal in question, that it is disgraceful to England, because ungrate ful and cruel towards her best defenders, to see Second Lieutenants (equivalent to Ensigns) of Marines of eighteen or nineteen years' standing ! On the very principles avowed by Ministers; and more especially by the official organs of the late Naval Department, who insisted on the neces sity of holding out active promotion as an in ducement to men of rank and fortune to enter his Majesty's service, the Marine corps must have been deliberately marked out and intended as a branch of the. general service which gentle men ought not to enter : for there a man can scarcely arrive at the rank of even Cap tain, before the meridian of life.has passed, and the energies of his character been extinguished. It seems to us, therefore, the duty of every manwhO feels for the interests and honour of. this nation, to press upon his Majesty's Government the wis dom of revising the whole system under which the corps of Royal Marines has been adminis tered—that somi reasonable portion of profes sional reward may henceforth follow the dis charge of severe and trying duties--that the spirit of the young Marine Officer may be sti mulated by some more animating example than that of his older comrades' despair; and that the specific body of warriors who are exposed to the double perils of sea and land, shall no longer feel themselves condemned to a double exclusion from the fruits of honourable achievement.— Without at present offering an opinion as to the expediency of the fourth, in order, of the fol lowing propositions, suggested by the journal to which we have before alluded, as remedies for the evils of which we unite with it in complaining, we think it right to insert them here. " First,—Give the Celonelciee of Marines to the corps to which they, of right, belong; common justice demands it ; and the Navy is amply , provided with posts, emolu ments, offices, and employments, in other . departments. Seeondly,—Make seeond : Captains, as in the :Anil ley and Engineers; they be small com mando. • " Thirdly,—Allow Lieutenants of Marines of 15 years standing, to retire, if they please, on the half-pay of Captain. " Foarthly,—Allow Officer) of all ranks, properly quali fied, to exchange or purchase into the line. " These, or some simiL regulations, will be of more permanent benefit to the corps, and flo more honour to its Commander, the Duke of Clarence, than the presentation of a hundred stand of colours."— Times. The intelligence from Constantinople is not of the most satisfactory nature. There seems some probable reason to apprehend, that what ever pacific sentiments may have actuated the Porte, a formidable Power in the south-east of Europe has not pursued with much success the measures most likely to confirm or to prove them. The tone of 'many articles which have been promulgated through certain foreign jour nals, and the protection afforded *by Austrian papers to vessels which were boarded by Sir Ed ward Codrington in the act of violating the ar mistice concluded with the Turks, are circum- I stances which throw mote than suspicion upon the feelings of the Court of Vienna. We cer- Willy do not ge blame Austria for pursuing what she no doubt conceives to be a proper object of her own policy. If Prince Metternich imagines that by opposing the measures of the alliance he will succeed better than by promoting them, in counteracting the schemes of aggrandizement Ml putedpretty generally to another Imperial Govern ment, • which pressei equally on the Austrian frontier and on the Turkish, would be silly to complain or to reproach him. 'But it is stated on the authority of the last advices, that a dif ference has broken out between the Ambassa dors of the Court of London and of ,St. Peters burgh. In that case it is possible that Turkey and Austria oat see the expectations which have led them emporize, already in some de gree fulfi ll ed ; for .the consequences of such a difference, to which no healing hand, we may assure ourselves, will be applied from without. It is very difficult to anticipate or to limit. Greece, it is true, may be set free de facto, by the squadrons now on the spot ; but if a serious opposition of policy, on points by which Greece is not immediately affected, should extend itself from the two Mi n isters at Constantinople to the Powers which they respectively represent, it is not in the east of Europe only that mankind will be made sensible of the importance of such a disunion.—/bid- We perceive from The Belfast Northern Whig, which we received y esterday, that the agitation which the Drapers' Company of London have caused by their impolitic interfer ence with the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, still continues. It requires no extraordinary wis dom to be able to tell that it is peculiarly dan-, gerous to come into collision with a Church so . popularly constituted, and so well organized for acting with effect, as the Synod of Ulster, or the Church of Scotland. The Dissenters of England have nothing in commod.with them but their separation from the Established Church, and never can act as a body. Even the Esta blished Churches of England and Ireland can hardly bring their strength to bear against either an internal or an external enemy. Indeed the powerlessness of the Church was exhibited conspicuously in the case of Dr. Fry, who, without discharging his pastotal duties, has been able to set both his parishioners and his diocesan, the Bishop of Lincoln, at defiance for a number of years. A single individual is naturally afraid of the responsibility of any decided step ; and hence the timidity with which a Bishop would act, compared with a General Assembly or National Sy no d. In the latter, one keeps ano ther in countenance, and the Laity are pledged. along with the Clergy ; -so that the danger to be apprehended is rather over-confidence than timi dity. The same individual who, in a tumult, cheered on by othe rs , is bold. as.a lion, is quite faint-hearted when l e % to hims elf. We are describing what is, without saying that the matter may not be viewed in various lights,_ . 'l:he rower cannot be doubted. We have no doubt th'at the Drapers' Company have been inad veilently led into this awkward collision ; and th4t when they find the Representatives, Clerical arid Lay, of 900,000 inhabitants, united as one min in reprobation of their attempt, they will re consider the proceedings which have caused the irritation. We may observe, by the bye, that if Lord Chief Justice Tenterden's doctrine, that it is an offence at Common Law to impugn any part of the Book of Common Prayer, or any pant of the Establishment of the Church, is to be recog nized, an ample field is open for the lawyers. Mr. Barnet, the Presbyterian Clergyman, whose notions respecting the Established Church of Ireland have led to the collision quoted in a speeCh before the Presbytery several authorities, some of a very recent date, in which the Church of 'England is treated with very little ceremony. Dr. iVl , Crie makes very little distinction between the Church of England and the Church of Rqme. - " After rejecting the Head of the Hibrarchy," he says, "the Reformers of Eng land retained its trunk ; and instead of provi ding a body of Ministers qualified for taking the oversight of the flock of God, they burthened the nation with a Clerical Aristocracy, whose rank and employments, partly civil and partly ecclesiastical, withdrew them from the discharge of their pastoral functions." He does not scruple to say, that she is open to what " forms one of the highest charges against the Roman Anti- christ." Every one recollects that on the other hand, the a ntithesis of the Archbishop of Dublin, of " a Church without a Religion, and a Religion without a Church ; of which the latter half was levelled at the Presbyterians.— And what harm is there in all this, that the law should be brought to the assistance of either , party ? • These sallies are no doubt very refresh ing to the partisans of the different persuasions ; and if a Presbyterian feels himself solaced by being allowed to term the Pope Anti-christ, and the Church of England a limb of Anti- Christ, we do not see what great harm can arise from allowing him the indulgence. Truly the law is reduced' very low indeed, when it is brought to regulate the manner in which controversies shall be conducted, and when its learned pundits are busied in ascertaining whether an argument is fair, or is too strongly impregnated with sarcasm or ridicule.--Morning Chronicle. The beloved Ferdinand and the Agraviados, the aggrieved Catholic priesthood, do not appear yet to have settled their differences. We hope before he has done with them, that he will get something from them wherewith to pay the divi dends'on the Cortes Bonds, which he ought to bear in mind, lie guaranteed the validity of. If he does that, and the citizens should determine on a monument to his memory, we will certainly subscribe something towards such monument. By the bye, if he were to do what we have sug dested, and were besides to send his Ambassa or with two notaries to our Royal Exchange, and cancel in the sight of the citizens, a hundred or two hundred thousand pounds worth of Bonds, he might the next day negotiate a loan to the amount of ten millions, with which he might fit out both fleet and army to reconquer his South American Colonies. John Bull would lend him any sum of money, and for any purpose, provided he could only get good inte rest, and have the Cortes' Bonds recognised. John would not mind the loss of the twenty millions his countrymen might sustain in conse quence of the loans to the South American pa triots not being attended to, provided he could only get a large bonus on a new loan.—Morn ing Herald. We trust that one of the first subjects to en gage the serious attention of Parliament will be the interference of the British Government in the affairs of Turkey and Greece. Upon what principles that interference will be. defended, we are utterly at a loss to guess. We presume they will turn out:to be some principles of the law of nations, which it has been reserved for the pre sent improving and enlightened age to discover., It is not the principle of " the interference only which will demand attention, but the manner of it also must give rise to the gravest animadver sion. At this moment a powerful naval force belonging to Great Britain is employed to en force what is ridiculously called an Armistice between the belligerent parties, but what is in fact a compulsory suspension of hostilities, so far as one of the parties is concerned, without any corresponding attempt to compel the other party to inaction. This, on the face of it, shows a degree of partiality and injustice, which is ut terly incompatible with the character in which the British Government professes to act, that namely of an honest mediator. But this is not all, nor is it the worst which may be alleged against the manner of our interference ;—the naval force of England is so exclusively em ployed in preventing the Turks from car rying on an open and legitimate warfare, that the Greeks are allowed to carry on not only war, but unbounded and systematic piracy, with out resistance or rebuke. Yesterday, when all our Ministerial Journals were exulting in what they called the energy displayed by our Naval Commander in the cause of the Greeks—when the exploit of capturing a few Turkish transports, and immediately releasing them on their being found to have on board Austrian papers, was boasted by all the organs of the British Govern ment as a . great national triumph—the Mer chants of London were cheered and gratified by the arrival at Lloyd's of a list, containing the names of no less than eighty-one vessels which have lately been plundered by the Greek Pirates —by allies, now for the first time so dear to the British Government, that on their behalf it is maintaining an expensive armament, and com mitting daily and atrocious violence upon a Power with which England has no quarrel, and which has hitherto been the steadfast friend of England. Facts like these must create an impression which any comment we could offer would only be likely to weaken. But we cannot refrain from a remark or two on the vaunted energy of our naval operations before Navarino. If the blockade of that port be a legitimate blockade, or if the armistice which the Turkish Commander is said to have concluded amount to a valid obligation—it would surely follow that any vessel by which that blockade and that armistice had been vio lated would be lawful prize, notwithstanding the protection of Austrian papers. Was it an exhi bition of energy then, we ask, to release the ves sels taken possession of by the British force in such circumstances ? As the interference from the first was a novel example of British policy and justice, this was at least an equally new ex hibition of British energy. It is a species of energy which need only be persevered in to ren der the blockade and the armistice alike futile and ridiculous. If it was the duty of the Bri tish Admiral to extend impunity to this first at tempt to evade the blockade, to this first viola tion of the armistice, his duty must be the same on a second, a third, and indeed upon all future occasions of a similar kind. And surely if this be so, the Turkish Commander must be the most negligent, the most unskilful, or the most faithless of leaders, if he fail eventually to land every soldier on board his fleet at the place of their original destination.—Morning Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday Andrea Giannone, an Italian, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by the street-keeper of Wall rook-ward with having offended against the public morals. The street-keeper said the prisoner had been about the ward offering " that there image for sale" (exhibiting to his Lordship the plaster cast of a sleeping Venus), which he (the street-keeper) considered " indecent, not to say indeli cate ;" and, as the prisoner had been about the place befoi . e, he thought it his duty to take him in custody, and bring him before his Lordship, to answer for the offence. The Chief Clerk—l suppose persons of the street keeper's delicacy will shortly seize our Apollo Belvedere (alluding to a full-sized cast of that statue, recently placed in the most conspicuous part of the Egyptian Hall, by the Corporation Committee of Taste), and break it to pieces to prove the superior purity of their ideas. The Loan MAYOR (to the prisoner)—What have you got to say for yourself ? The Italian, who appeared not to understand English,, looked at the street -keeper, and laughed, as if in derision at him. The LORD MAYOR—Oh, Sir, it is no laughing matter, Ido assure you. Ido not mind letting you go this time, but if you are caught here again you will be punished for it. Mr. Hobler (to the officers)—Make him understand that he must not come again into this city, unless he puts petti coats on his figures. All the taste is on the other side of Temple-bar, where he must keep. The Italian went away laughing. GUILDHALL.—A middle-aged female, named Sarah Cornell, the wife of a carman at the Swan Inn, Holborn bridge, and Sarah Satchell, who, with her husband, had occupied apartments in Cornell's house for some months, were brought before Mr. Alderman BIRCH yesterday, on suspicion of concealing a small box of Portuguese coins and some articles of jewellery, worth altogether about SOO/. Cornell, when placed at the bar, had such an air of wildness and alarm in her countenance, as to rivet the at tention of the spectators to the case against her. The first witness, Caroline Latzon, arrived with her hus band from Brazil on the 11th instant, and hired two rooms, one leading out of the other, in the house of Cornell, at No. 36, Edmund-place, Aldersgate-street, at the rent of 16s. per week. On the 13th witness and her husband had a trifling quarrel, and the two prisoners came into their apartment, and saw the contents of the box now mis sing spread over the table. There was a gold chain, two yards long, with an image of the Blessed Virgin attached, a comb set with chrysolites, diamond finger and ear-rings, and a number of such articles, worth 1501., and English and foreign coins to the same amount. Her husband detected Cornell in attempting to steal a bracelet, which she . pretended afterwards to find dropped upon a piece of carpet. This circumstance induced witness's husband to caution her against leaving this box shut up in the trunk in the outer room, there being no key to fasten the door of it, and she afterwards con stantly placed it under her pillow at night, in the inner room. On Saturday, the 20th, she removed to another lodging, at No. 5, Prince's-street, Ratcliffe-high way. All her property was in four trunks, which were removed about nine o'clock in the morning. She had a dispute with Mrs. Cornell about paying 16s. for entering one day into a fresh week, and about a stain in the carpet, and she went away, forgetting that the jewel-box was still under her pillow. She returned from Ratcliffe-highway immediately on missing the box, and Mrs. Cornell told her to go up stairs and look, and that no one had been up there except herself, The box was gone, but there was its impression on the bedding. Witness obtained the as sistance of Mr. Cope, the marshal, who, with one of his officers, searched the house about one o'clock in the day, without finding a vestige of the property. Mrs. Cornell's solicitor put some questions, to raise a sfispicion that witness and her husband seriously contem plated a separation, and that the husband had secreted the property, but the husband declared they quarrelled only because lie had a little liquor in his head. William Anderson, an American pilot, residing at No. 5, Prince's-street, under the protection of his Consul, (having been wrecked on the coast of England, whilst on voyage for the benefit of his health) went at the request of the last witness to Mrs. Cornell's on the 22d instant, to ask if she would give up the box privately, to prevent further trouble. The door was opened, and when he mentioned that he had come with a message from Mrs. Latzon, Mrs. Cornell replied, " Oh, I know what you are come or,—walk in." Mrs. Satchell' was there, and they both took him up to the rooms the Latzons had occupied, and Mrs. Cornell wished him to make a search in the bed room. He said he was not an officer, and he was not sent to search, but to learn if they had found the box any where since, and would restore it by fair means. He was then standing in the outer room. Mrs. Cornell said,i " Stop a gttle," and the two women went into the inner roo ! , s spoke together in a low tone, but he heave y every word, the door being open. Mrs. Sate " You had better return it ; it will bring disgrace on your house, and trouble on your family."-- Mrs. Cornell replied—" No, it is gone too far now ; St is impossible to go back ; but stop"—and returning to him, she enquired what acquaintance he had with the Latzons ? He told her he merely happened to be lodging in the same house with them now ; that he perceived by their conver sation that they were foreigners, and he believed it was not their intention to remain any length of time in this coun try. She then left him again, and returned to the inner room, bat in a minute came back with a net purse in her hand, which seemed to contain several sovereigns, and said, laying the purse on the table, "If you will go back and tell them that you cannot make any discovery, and persuade them they have no proof and to drop the business, I will give you fifty sovereigns." He answered that he was a stranger and afraid ofgetting into some difficulty, and he had heard that Mrs. Lateon was born in London, and bad respectable friends in this country. Mrs. Cornell remarked that be was a poor man, and would find 50 so vereigns very serviceable, and that she would stand between him and any harm if he would do her business. He told her he would do any thing that was in his power, and she then said, " Get me the address of their friends, and I will reward you well. I wish to know who and`what they are." He returned to Ratcliffe-highway, told this story to his landlady, and from her obtained the address of a gentle man in Great Winchester-street, supposed to be related to the Latzons, with which he posted off immediately to Edmund-place. He was received kindly in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Satchell, who were at tea. Mrs. Cornell asked him to take tea or wine. He accepted a glass of gin, and gave Mrs. Cornell the direction. She then gave him a nudge, and he followed her into Aldersgate-street, where she slipped two half-crowns into his band, and told him to bring her word the next morning what the Latzons intended to do, that she might be upon her guard, and she would satisfy him well for his trouble. She had previously offered to accommodate him for that night with a lodging in her house. When he called next morning, she dismissed him hastily : she said, " I can't speak to you now, so many sharks are about. I can't go out or come in without being watched. I shall be happy to see you some other time." There being no other evidence, Mr. Alderman Blau! asked Mrs. Satchell what explanation she had to offer. The Solicitor advised her to say nothing, and the Alder.. man told her, if she followed that advice he should certainly detain her. Her husband immediately called upon her to tell all she knew. The Alderman asked if he knew any thing of the busi ness, and upon his stating that he did, he was immediately sworn. He was by profession a clerk; heard the dispute about staining the carpet, and soon after Mrs. Latzon was gone, ran up stairs to see what injury had been done to it. He attempted to walk into the inner room ; but Mrs. Cornell hastily pulled the door in his face, and said, " You can't go in there—the place stinks so." He was so struck with her manner, that he told his wife directly after there w as something wrong, and Mrs. Cornell had either lost or found something. He afterwards met Mrs. Cornell in a great flurry in Newgate-street, and, by her desire, left word at the Swan Inn that she wished to see her husband. His wife (the prisoner) could give other and important evidence. Mr. Alderman BIRCH then ordered the prisoner Satchel' (who is a young woman of considerable attractions) to be sworn as a witness. She, however, commenced by assert ing that all the seaman had stated was false, and that a third female, a Mrs. Smart (Mrs. Cornell's sister), was present in all the intervi e w s , an d seeme d d es i ro u s of confining her evidence to the story of the bracelet, and the quarrels between Latzon and the landlady. 'jam ques tioned, however, she admitted the seaman called on the pardon on b e h a lf o f the foreigners for 22,1, and asked having been so furious on the Saturday. She said that he did make search himself, and that the conversation he bad related as passing between herself and Mrs. Cornell never occurred. Cornell was remanded until Thursday, and Mrs. Satchell entered into recognizances to attend and give evidence. BOW-STREET.—No less than 17 prostitutes were yesterday morning brought before Mr. MlNsuuu., the sitting Magistrate, by a watchman belonging to St. Paul's, Covent-garden, charged with walking the streets and being disorderly. After inquiring into the charge against the prisoners, it appeared that only one of the women out of the 17 was guilty (,f disorderly conduct. The Magistrate accordingly committed her for one month to the House of Correction, and discharged her companions, who were merely found walking the streets as common prostitutes. Mr. Cribb, the gentleman who addressed Sir Richard Birnie on Friday, then stepped forward, and said, we have frequently applied for assistance to the Bow-street Magis trates ; and in order to exculpate my colleagues and myself, lam driven to the necessity of publicly declaring, that the Magistrates of this office have not afforded us that support and co-operation which we expected, and felt ourselves entitled to receive. With re spect to disorderly women, when at any time our watchmen have brought them before you, they have been discharged without punishment. It was therefore deter mined by us who compose the board of watch, that in fu ture one of our members shall attend at this' office as often as occasion shall require, to see that our watchmen per form their duty in' preferring their charges. Mr. Mussuur.r. regretted that neither of his colleagues was present. . _ Mr. Roach was sorry in his defence to say that the parish authorities had never been supported by the Magis trates of this office. Mr. MiNsuum.—l am very sorry, Mr. Roach, to hear you say so. For myself I can only say that I have afforded you every assistance in my power, and I am sure I can say as much for my brother Magistrates. Mr. Cribb said that his friends and he had adopted the present course, in order that the public might judge be tween the parish authorities and the Bow-street Magis trates. In order to prove that the former were not de serving blame, he would instance the following circum stance :—Mr. Richardson appeared at the office to support a charge of d*rderly conduct against thirty prostitutes brought before - the Magistrate, who, however, told Mr. Richardson that• there was no use in sending them to pri son, as they would be sure to be in the streets again when the period of their confinement expired. They were all discharged accordingly ; and what was the consequence of the Magistrate's forbearance ? A gang of twenty of them came to our doors the next night, abusing and threatening us for daring to interfere with them. But this was not all, said Mr. Cribb, for we had a charge of 4/. and up wards brought against us by the Bow-street officers, for their assistance on that occasion—a charge which the pa rish resisted, and certainly had no right to pay. Mr. Miwstrua, in explanation of his own conduct and that pursued by his brother Magistrates on the occasion alluded to, begged the gentlemen to understand, that unless some specific charge were substantiated against persons ac cused, it was not in the power of the Magistrates to send them to prison. Mr. Cribb—We wish it to be understood, that we la bour under the same difficulty as the Magistrates com . plain of. Mr. Thomas, of York-street, wished to know if the pub lic-houses in the neighbourhood of the Theatres were al lowed to continue open one hour after the performances were over. Mr. Mnrsitut.l.—The owner of a public-house who set up that plea was convicted the other day, on ite being proved that the persons found drinking in his house at the time stated, did not belong to the Theatres. The accom modation is meant only for those who belong to the Theatres. The gentlemen then retired, repeating their determina tion to co-operate with the Magistrates of this office, for the purpose of removing every cause of complaint. WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday, an elderly woman, named Elizabeth Cannon, was brought before Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with stealing a common-prayer-book from the altar of Bethnal-green church. The prisoner was committed for stealing a book, the pro perty of the churchwardens for the time being. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a man named Morris Buckley was brought before the sitting Magistrate, R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq., charged with having committed an aggravated assault on a young woman named Maria Cooper, a servant in a gentleman's family. Mr. Jones confirmed the complainant's statement, adding that when he arrived at the spot where the prisoner had ill-treated the girl, he found her lying in the mud, and the prisoner standing over her. The prisoner was committed for a misdemeanor. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. LONDON DIARY....-THURBDAY, Nov. 1.--(At the Court of Commissioners, Bashighall-street.)

A net was forthwith shot, and three were taken. They were brought ashore in triumph— gravely laid before a meeting of the Areopagus, and after due deliberation, the fish were declared of excellent quality, and it was agreed that the appearances for the approach ing fishing are highly flattering. A net was also shot, and twelve herrings were taken at Queensferry.—Fife Herald. A steam carriage is shortly to commence run ning between London and Southampton. Mr. G. Rogers, the proprietor of the Tele g raph and Union coaches, applied road,for the patent for this which is held we believe for fourteen years, but was too late, it having been previously granted to Captain Ewarth, of Sloane-street, Chelsea,— The machinery is contained in a very **mall compass, and is to propel the carriage at the rate of ten miles an hour.— At every stage, instead of the old-fashioned way of travel ling by changing horses, they will stop for a supply of coals and water. It is calculated that seven bushels of coals only will be required for the whole journey.—Hants Advertiser. PROLIFIC PAlR.—There is at present in the possession of a burgher in Airdrie, a pair of beautiful canary birds, which have' at present a healthy brood of young ones ; and, what is remarkable enough, this loving couple have, since February last, produced nearly fifty egg 9, and upon those the parents bestowed so much atten tion, that about 30 young birds have, from time to time, been brought out since that date. We believe this inte resting collection is free to the inspection of the curious, to whom the owner will be glad to afford every informa tion.— Glasgow Free Pressi CORONERS.—Application was made to the Court at the Old Bailey, on Saturday, on behalf of Mr. Unwin, one of the coroners for the county of Middlesex, for a remission of the fine of 101. imposed upon him the preceding day, by Mr. Justice Park, on account of his (Mr. Unwin's) having neglected to attend upon the trial of John Everett, indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Ross. Mr. Justice" Park, after conferring with Mr. Baron Gar row, observed that it was the bounden duty of coroners, whenever parties were to be tried upon re turned by them, to attend the Court to give such informa tion upon the subject of the inquiry as the Court might think it necessary to call for. The Court was surprised to hear that a coroner, possessing such long experience as Mr. Unwin undoubtedly possessed, should be ignorant of his duty in this respect. As, however, Mr. Unwin had stated that he was not aware that it was his duty to attend upon these occasions, the Court was not disposed to en force the fine, and therefore it might, for this time, be re mitted ; but the Court wished it to be made known, that if, after this public notice, any similar case of non-attend. ince should occur, a fine of considerable amount would be imposed, and enforced. LAW INTELLTGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, OCT. 29. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR sat this day for the purpose of giving judgment in four or five causes which had stood over from the last term. There was a very thin attendance of the Bar, and of the King's Counsel. Mr. Sugden was the only one present. His Honour gave judgment in several causes, which contained nothing of public interest, and he promised to put his judgments into writing, and transmit them at a future period to the parties concerned. The Court rose at one o'clock. On taking leave of the Bar, his Honour observed, that he was under the necessity of leaving town early on the following morning. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 29. wiwcatzs - v. JONES. This was an action for words. The ATTORNEY GENERAL was' for the plaintiff; the defendant had no counsel. William Cheethans said, the plaintiff was a coal merchant, at Islington. Witness was in company with him on the Bth of .November last, near Somer set-house. The defendant passed by them, and said to the plaintiff, " You are almost done up, old boy." The defendant went to one of the offices in Somerset-house, and came back in ten minutes. The plaintiff said to him, " Did you address yourself to me, Sir ?" The defendant answered, " Yes, I did." The plaintiff desired him to explain what he meant, on which the defendant said, " You are a old villain, you have screwed and swindled all the parish of Islington, but now they have pretty nearly screw ed you up: you are a —old villain." There were about twenty persons present, who collected during the altercation. Lord TENTERDEN looked at the record, and said that calling a man a villain was not in itself action able.—Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT, 29, MOUNT U. HARRISON. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings. This was an action on a policy of insurance for 1,00/., effected on the freight of a ship called the Olive Branch, to and from the Cape of Good Hope to London, which the declaration alleged was lost by perils of the sea. The defendants pleaded the general issue. Mr. Sergeant WILDS stated the case. The po licy was effected in August, 622; and in July, 1823, while the ship was taking in her cargo at Table Bay, she was driven ashore in a violent gale of wind, and so much damaged, that the Captain deemed it would be most advisable to sell her, which he ac cordingly did. It would be proved that every exer tion had been made to save the ship and her freight, and that , when she was ashore every atten tion was paid that was thought likely to contribute to her safety. Mr. Sergeant TARDY, (with whom was Mr. Ser geant SPANKIE) for the defendant, contended that the evidence for the plaintiff was not sufficient to show that tilsavessel was in such: extreme danger as to warrant di* sale, and unless it was evident that the ship was incapable of ever going to sea again, the Captain had no authority to sell her. The Jury hesitated fOr a short , time, and finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff. GRAND SHIP CANAL. (From the Atlas,) We have hitherto abstained from any detailed notice of this great national work, from an im pression that, however desirable its results, there was but little prospect of the completion of the undertaking. We now, however, observe a strong feeling in its favour, originating in a great movement amongst the mercantile class, and it appears probable that it will also receive the sup port of Government. which w commence ill sand rnalAte,e may M r.

For . this purpose, twenty-eight feet depth of water will be required, and about one hundred and fifty feei in width, with about four locks, three hundred feet in length and sixty-four in breadth, - up to the summit level. The canal will commence with two branches at Rotherhithe, nearly opposite the London and West India Docks, near the Victualling Office,' and will proceed from thence in\ a south-west direction, to Walworth Common, by the foot of Brixton Hill, to Streatham Common ; then be tween the towns of Mitcham and Tooting, to Malden, Ewel, Epsom, Leatherhead, and Dork ing, over Homewood Common, down the vale to Ockley, and the Roman turnpike-gate, a little below Slinford, Newbridge, Pulborough, by Hardham, Greatham, Amberley, Burkham, Arundel, and a small branch to Arundel Bay ; and lastly, to Chichester, Emsworth, Langston Harbour, South Sea Common, and Spithead. There was no passage aeross the Frith on Tuesday except at Burntisland, and there only one boat crossed from each side.—Fife Herald. ACCIDEk T.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, as the workmen employed in repairing Christ Church, were engaged in raising some planks on the scaffolding, the latter gave way, and five men were precipitated from a height of forty feet to the ground, and seine of them were dreadfully injured 14 , the spare and planks that fell on them.— Cork Constitution. KIRKALDY.—.-The tide on Tuesday morning WAS the highest which has been known here for some years, and the storm was so violent that it was with considerable difficulty and great exertion that the ships in the harbour could be prevented from breaking adrift. Several pule to which they were made fast have been torn out of the piers, and part of the parapet of the western pier has been thrown down by the violence of the waves.—Fife Herald. On Monday and Tuesday last, we had a storm of wind and rain, which continued for 48 hours with great and unabated violence, the rain, almost without intermis sion during that period, pouring down in torrents. The rivers Dee and Don were swollen to a degree quite unpre cedented since the great flood of 1799, the water rising to such a height as to overflow the banks to a great extent, sweeping the haughs almost completely of every thing which came within its reach. Of the loss and damage sustained Some idea might be formed, from the appearance. of our sea-beach on Wednesday morning. Between the two rivers, and far northward beyond the latter, trees ge nerally of large dimensions, quantities of turnip, sheaves of corn, some sheep, with s e veral ship's boats, /cc. the latter carried out of our harbour, were thickly strewed along and lay iu promiscuous wreck. From the report , of some men sent down to collect the timber, no less than 4900 trees bad been carried off by the flood, from different places on the which not jna tu Dee ehre ir w p w e h as hu w enre er a to r e u iedt e: s d h ll had ee in ad te b a d eeb a ee ld i t a t e ; r7d a u f t g rere h fo t r il tc an ti th y n e S°g use to ' Kleo wn ha r " cart 'loads of.
