SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Extracts from Lord Durham's speech at Dundee on the occasion of his receiving the freedom of that burgh, will be found in another part of our paper. The speech does not present much new matter calling for obServation. It is, we should say, a mere enlarge ment on that lately delivered at Edinburgh, and we think it would be unfair to institute any comparison. The followino . compliment to the Noble Earl's consis tency and liberal feeling was paid by Bailie Christie : —" Others have changed their minds, but he has not done so. At the gathering in Edinburgh the other day I was never so electrified as at heariner the reply of his Lordship to an individual who pleaded hard for the do-as-little-as-possible system—and I will only refer at preSent to the crowning remark in his Lord ship's speech on that occasion. I regret every hour which passes over acknowledged and yet unreformed abuses.' " This is the sentiment which we knew had gone home to the hearts of all, and the Bailie observes—" This declaration has taken hold of every memory, and will descend to posterity as a marked saving of the first Earl of Durham." We will only further draw the attention of our readers to the Noble Earl's bold and manly re ply to the members of a Political Union, who pressed themselves on his notice. His total difference of opi nion with them—his dissent to their wild dogmas, he plainly avows. How different a course is adopted by some selfish demagogues we could name ! It is a reply which we trust may convince some of his timid, though conscientious opponents, that his Lordship, though willing to ameliorate and amend, will not con sent to destroy. The following passage, addressed also to the Political Unionists, is Well deserving of the attention of all those deluded men who are upon join ing such confederacies, too apt to pin their faith on the boldness of the assertions of their ignorant leaders than to inquire into their truth. Well has it been ob served— . " Nam cum magna maim superest audacia causm Creditur a multis fiducia." His Lordship says—" I ask you of the working classes, who are the sinews of the State, what would be the consequence of any system calculated to pro duce confusion ? lam not aware of any class that would suffer more from such a state than the opera tives. Anything which tends to derange the laws which regulate the employment of capital and labour, must necessarily tend to destroy the mercantile and agricultural prosperity of the country ; and.if you take my advice, you will take care that when you ameliorate you do not destroy." While expressing our approval of the above, we must not omit to reply to more. than one correspondent, who has charged us with inconsistency "in adopting Lord Durham," and asking us whether we have "so soon forgotten his tyrannical prosecution of the Press ?" In reply, we would merely state that we have not forgotten it, or our condemnation of his Lordship on the occasion. But we have good reason to believe that there is no human being in existence who more regrets the Hasty irritability of temper which drove his Lordship into that unfortunate measure than the Noble Earl himself. All that has passed cannot have passed in vain for his Lordship, and maturer age may, we trust, have pointed out to him the absolute necessity of some concession either to the waywardness, or even ig norance of others, and of the controlling too great a warmth of temper. And without exactly charging his Lordship with being yet gray-headed, we should bear in mind that, " Lcnit albescens animus capillus, Litium et riaw cupidos protervw ;" and we do not hesitate, therefore, again to express our hope, and it is one in which we are sure a large por tion of the country join us, that life and health may be spared to his Lordship to carry iuto effect those principles which he has on both occasions so ably sup ported.—Morning Herald. Lord Brougham has got a formidable rival in the mountebank line. Lord Durham is actively engaged upon his circuit, has already got his burgess-ticket at Dundee, and is to have a dinner at Glasgow. In his entry to ;Dundee, at which place a sort of wooden stage was erected in the street for his porformance, he was attended by Lord Camperdown, so created by Lord Grey, and Lord Kinnaird, made an English Peer as Baron Rosse by the same minister ; and ho noured by the presence (at a distant window) of the " excellent patriot " Lord Panmure, another of the pitchforks of the late Government. So accompanied, so supported, so patronized, Lord Durham received the honour of the ticket, an honour for which he returned thanks in a speech very nearly verbatim thesame as that which he repeated at Lord Grey's break-down at Edin burgh. His Lordship made a great parade of his own me rits and virtues, and laid particular stress upon the can dour which characterized all his actions ; nevertheless, lie never once alluded to the break-up of the Ministry, the ill-treatment of his father-in-law, or the share . Lord Brougham had in expelling both that venerable person and himself from the Cabinet. At the conclusion of the exhibition, his Lordship withdrew, and the people expressed their satisfaction and loyalty, their good sense, and their good feeling, in the following manner (we quote the. words from the Dundee Chronicle) : ".His Lordship then withdrew, after which the Meet ing gave three times three cheers for his Lordship, and one cheer more ; three for the Earl of Camper down, three for Lord Panmure, three for Lord Kin naird, three , for the King, and three for Provost Kay." The respectful, loyal, and decent manner in which our Sovereign was cheered=--second of the three last K.'s— needs no comment. The Dundee Paper then reports some sort of quarrel between Lord Camperdown and Bailie Christie, and adds immediately afterwards that " Lady Camperdown and the other Ladies present seemed highly delighted." The celebrated yacht the Louisa was in the river, conspicuously dressed in a variety of flags to do honour .to its owner ! At Glasgow the dinner tickets have been fixed at half-a-guinea, which threatens to " thin the company," Lord Durham's partizans not being of the class likely to waste their money to such an extent. However, it is generally expected that his Lordship will give his followers an adequate remuneration in the way of exposing and bullying the Chancellor. It must be for the sake of getting something out of him that the Radicals of Glasgow have engaged him ; for neither do his Lord ship's public services nor his private character entitle him to any such mark of genuine or disinterested respect. What his temper and condition are in society his de feat at Winchester last year, after he had ordered h;s boat's crew to break down and root up a Gen tleman's posts and gates at Cowes, may pretty well show. His caution and accuracy may be equally well displayed by his statements, we believe affidavits, when he prosecuted the Press, the freedom of which it is his boast to maintain, for remarking upon his " family fag." His domestic excellence is also proverbial, and the sweetness of his disposition has often been spoken to by his Noble father-in-law, and will be vouched for even at the present moment by the Lord High Chan cellor of England. His public services are briefly told. After sitting in Parliament by his own personal influence, and making a few dull speeches, he accepted a barony from the Duke of Wellington's Ministry. When that Ministry resigned he was, because he was " one of the tribe of fortune," and had married Lord Grey's daughter, created by that Noble Lord's Govern ment a- Viscount and an Earl ; and for the very same reason, and no other upon earth, he received the appointment of Keeper of the Privy Seal, which sine cure, so admirably filled at present by Lord Mulgrave, his Lordship patriotically and disinterestedly held until it was taken from him. These, we think, are the prin- Cipal claims of Lord Durham upon public gratitude ; because we believe as a coal merchant his prices are as high as those of his neighbours. And for these the Corporation of Dundee make him a burgess, and the Radicals of Glasgow give him a banquet. We trust that the excellent patriot (as Lord Durham calls him), ,Lord Panmure will be in the chair. If he should, that ' worthy nobleman and excellent parent will no doubt prolong the sitting to the latest hour, and take care if the wine and whiskey are included in the price of ad mission,that ever tinker present shall have his ten shil lings and sixpence worth for his half-guinea.—Morn ing Post. Mr. O'Connell has produced a second letter to Mr. Sharman Crawford on the subject of Irish tithes, in which he sums up what he calls the " developement of his plan" for extinguishing not merely tithe itself, but the Protestant Church, for which that source of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1834. support had been established. His first proposition goes to' the " total abolition of tithe" in name and nature, to which, as the Sovereign has already acceded in his speeches, and the House of Commons in its votes, we presume there will not long remain any valid objection in any quarter. 2 "He would make com pensation to the lay impropriators to the full extent of the ordinary market price of their property in tithes." We believe that such a provision has been already con templated by Government, though under a different form, by commuting the tithe of a land-tax, and encouraging the tithe-payer to redeem on equitable terms. 3. "He would compensate all such Protestant incumbents as have parochial duty to perform to Pro testant congregations, and have hitherto performed such duty." This of course. 4. "He would com pensate all such incumbents as have at present one tenth of their parishioners Protestants." We suppose whether they perform duty or not, although the latter is a case hardly supposable, save only where there is no parish church and no residing clergyman. 5. "He would refuse compensation to all other incumbents, treating as mere sinecurists all Protestant clergymen in parishes where one-tenth of the inhabitants are not Episcopalian Protestants." Here then the gauntlet is thrown down. After declaring in every previous plan of tithe extinction, that all existing clergymen should have the benefit of a life-interest equal to their exist ing income, the learned annihilator now throws off the mask, and announces that every individual parish mi nister who cannot muster Protestants according to a certain proportion laid down by this avowed enemy of the church shall be " cast out into utter" starva tion. How then is this wise and equitable rule to operate ?• - The text of the learned gentleman is ex tremely vague, and therefore we may assume respect ing a man of his skill and accuracy, that it is not so without design. Does he really pretend that if the gross population of the parish should amount to 2,500 persons, and of these the Episcopalian Protestants should number 249, these perhaps including 19-20ths of the whole landed proprietary of the same parish, the clergyman's income shall be henceforth, and for ever, withdrawn ? It matters indeed little how such a question be answered, for we find that after, in the sixth verse of this notable chapter of compensation, alternating with confiscation, as the caprice of the law giver seems to move him, providing 400,0001. per annum, payable in the form of rent charge, by land lords only, as a fund for the above purposes, Mr. O'Connell declares, in the 7th and last verse, that on the final exhaustion of the present vested interests (so far as he vouchsafes to respect them) the whole of the said 400,000/e per annum shall be applied to the support of dispensaries, hospitals, and asylums for chronic disease of mind or body, thus making certaia. a pretty liberal allowance for the spread of malady of all kinds, after the downfall of the Church. But the important section of this grand scheme—if the word " important" be applicable to any part of such a shallow yet cunning rhapsody—is that which pro claims the object of the agitator to be an entire over throw of every thing like an established religion, whe ther in name or substance. In the seventh clause, al ready referred to, he confines the future application of the fund to be raised for indemnification of present vested interests to the support of hospitals, and so forth. Not a word of any religious purpose, not a word of edu cation, or any other great moral interest ; but, we re peat, because it is what most concerns our immediate subject, there is in it no shadow of regard to the rights of the Church, or the existence of any Church esta blishment ! The agitator subjoins a little after his main principle, that every denomination of Christians shall support their own spiritual instructors ; in other words, for the " principle" is of universal application, there shall be no Established Church at all ! We need not rip up the old records of the reign of Charles I. and the Protectorate, or of the innumerable and intermina ble controversies between the ad locates of a church established by law, and those of a universal indulgence of the " voluntary principle ;" speaking perhaps more correctly, the " accidental principle." But we do not ask, as.in the case of the repeal question, is that the system, and are those the views, on which Parliament and this Protestant country are prepared to act with reference to that branch of the United Church which exists in Ireland, namely—to destroy it altogether ? Cut away its redundancies if you will, and the more promptly the better :—if the Church revenues of Ire land be extravagant—if parishes are to be found where there ace no pastoral duties—if pluralities aggravated by sinecures abound there., deal with all such griev ances and flinch not. But it is too much for this Roman Catholic Harlequin, in his detestation of every thing not Popish, to pass off upon us, as if he really entertained it, the anti-Catholic doctrine which im pugns all Church Establishments as evils. His own priests will scarcely uphold him in it.. The priests of France, of Spain, of Portugal, of Belgium, of Italy, of southern Germany, would cross themselves at the wickedness of their Irish brethren, we appre hend, if the latter were false enough to their own creed to exclaim with O'Connell, that there " must be no State religion." They may not like to see the State protect or even tolerate that which is the State religion ; but that man must be an unprincipled Roman Catholic who preaches up what in the jargon of the day is called " religious equality." We have already touched upon the determination of Irish landlords to undertake, in the first instance, the payment of the clergy, and detected in it no other topic of regret ; but such a measure, from being both partial and uncer tain, would fall short of the existing emergency. Mr. O'Connell takes care to find other fault with the ex periment, and to turn it to a different use. He heeds not its inadequacy to the wants of the clergy, but shapes it into an instrument for exasperating the peasantry against their landlords, and for frightening the latter about the possible nonpayment of their rents. More dextrous or more inveterate rancour against all who strive to promote the peace and comfort of the people was never displayed by man, than in this characteristic attempt to defeat the benevolence of Irish gentlemen who have shown their willingness to relieve the destitute clergy, and to conciliate the discontented multitude. However, there is one cause to which Mr. O'Connell proves himself an honest and inflexible adherent. Whatever hints he may circu late among the people as to the justice and expediency of their punishing the kindness of the landlords to wards the clergy, by " confounding rent with tithe," and refusing both, there is one - rent secure from all such assaults of the Learned Gentleman's rhetoric— there is one landlord whom " the people" must not dare to disappoint—there is one Sovereign Lord who must not be cheated of his " tribute." We have given from the Pilot newspaper a manifesto, addressed in due form to " the Irish nation." It is not a week since we prophesied that the " rent" would be de manded on or after the Ist of November. We were false prophets, the 26th of October is the day ap pointed. There must be no delay, no reluctance, no remission of taxes ; the money must be forthcoming "at once !" But it is no longer " rent," it has be come a " tribute." Tribute is rendered by slaves to masters, by victims to betrayers ; it is levied on the helpless by robbers,—on the poor by extortioners,—on the ignorant by impostors. We leave Mr. O'Connell a free choice of titles whereon to rest his claim of "tri bute" from the " Irish nation."—Times. The Standard of last night affirms, " the same game which the Morning Chronicle is trying to play in this country, as between Churchmen and Dissenters, the Ministers and the Priests are actively pursuing with reference to the Protestants and Papists of the Sister Kingdom." The Standard proceeds to accuse the Catholic Clergy of a wilful falsification of the Ec clesiastical census, so usefully undertaken by Ministers, through the instrumentality of the Commission recently appointed to examine into the state of religious instruc tion in Ireland. It is very probable that in some places the heated partisans of both sides—Protestants and Catholics—may dishonestly return their numbers ; but we will venture to assert, without any illiberal reflec tion on either party, that there will not be many cases of such delinquency. Our contemporary then selects, on the authority of Mr. Boyton—no very impartial evi dence—an instance of the comparative landed property of Catholics and Protestants, in a particular district, to prove how relatively small is the pressure of tithe on Catholic property. We have no space to-day for resuming the subject of the .Ecclesiastical griev ances and disputes in Ireland, from the length of our preceding article ; but we will, on Mon-, day, ,give some curious facts, also from a select loca lity. In the meanwhile we may remark, that the question of the proprietorship of Irish land is not the main issue with regard to Irish tithe. The evils of the system are felt .by the payers of the impost ; and not only is the mode of levy objectionable, but also the ap propriation of the proceeds in support of an " Esta blished Church," to which the great majority of the Irish people are naturally and irreclaimably opposed. We may, however, state that We possess authentic in formation of much more.factious opposition to a fair census from the church clergy than from the Catholic priests. The latter have nothing to conceal ; the truth only is feared by the former. We trust, however, that next session the House of Commons will adopt measures to ascertain the comparative numbers of the different sects throughout the empire. The knowledge of the real numbers is important to the decision of the pending question of church reform. We do not doubt that the Tories and Orange party of Ireland, who so virulently opposed the Commission, will do their best to depreciate its labours.—Morning Chronicle. BANK OF ENGLAND. (Concluded from the Sun of yesterday.) NECESSITY OF AN ALTERATION IN THE MODE OF ELECTION Mr. YOUNG said the matter be was about to bring to the notice of the Meeting was one of some importance, and he intended to bring it before the next general Court of Pro prietors. There had been a possibility of risk to the public as well as to the Bank Proprietors. It was of the greatest moment to the Corporation, and the importance was more and more developed as competition increased, that the occurrence of the failure that had lately occurred should be prevented. He was decidedly of opinion that it was neces sary that some regulation should he adopted by which the Court of Directors, either directly or indirectly, should be placed above an event of this sort ; that the probability of all necessity for aid should be entirely put out of the question ; that those only should be Directors who had acquired an independence. These were the men the Proprietors were in need of, and it was the duty they owed to the country that none other should be ehoscn. He was sorry to have heard statements made public that the unfortunate Gentleman whose present position he se much regretted had disqualified before be re signed his seat, and it gave him (Mr. Young) great plea sure to find that this was not the case. He was happy that the lata Governor had cot injured the establishment by any such course cf proceeding—the conduct both of the late Governor and the Court of Directors was on this subject honeurable.—(Hear.) It was of the greatest importance, however, that. some rule should be adopted to prevent the recurrence of such an event for the future. He had been apprehensive that the statement of the disqualification of late Governor before he left his scat would have produced injurious consequences to the character of the Bank in the country, and it had gone out of London without the contra diction that had been given to it. There was no ground for the assertion, and he greatly regretted that a portion of the public press had not used their power to better purpose than circulating such ass ertions, but to preserve credit, es pecially at such a critical period as the present.—( Hear.) He considered. that any party who endeavoured to injure credit or decrease confidence was an enemy to his country. —(Hear.) He was of opinion that the Proprietors had a public trust to execute, and therefore begged to be excused for troubling the Court with these remarks. The DEPUTY Govcaesoa—l beg to assure the Court of Proprietors that the Board of Directors are fully aware of the importance of these matters, and of all the circum s stances spoken of by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Young). The .Court of Directors would have immediately heard of the disqualification of the late Governor had it taken place before the resignation. The fact would have been imme diately made known to the Court of Directors. Such an event could not have taken place more than three or four minutes before it would have been made known to the Court of Directors.—(Hear.) None of the Court might, however, have been present at the time ; but they would have received direct notice, and proper measures would have been taken in consequence of such an occurrence. Mr. YOUNG felt great satisfaction at the statement made, and hoped it would be communicated to the public. A PROPRIETOR considered it might not be politic to alter the present mode of election. He wished to learn if it was recollected by the Court of Directors that since the time of the establishment of the Bank a similar occurrence had taken place, whereby the character of the Corporation might have been compromised. If there had not existed anything of this kind previously, there might not be any oc casion for an alteration of the plan of election, and the standing rules of the Court might still be acted upon. Mr. WILLIAMSON said that there was a similar cir cumstance in the failure of Mr. Buller, who had failed after he had passed the chair, but certainly no such un fortunate circumstance had before happened to a Governor. Mr. YOUNG stated .that if it was thought necessary by the Court, of Directors to enter into the subject it would give him great satisfaction ; if not, be should himself bring the matter before the Court of Proprietors. A PROPRIETOR said that nothing of the kind had before occurred. The DEpuTY-GovEnNon, agreed in the same opinion as the last speaker. Mr. YOUNG—It cannot be contradicted, however, that the Bank has suffered from failures. The DEPUTY-GOVERNOR said it certainly cannot be de nied that such has been the fact. Mr. WINTER was desirous to .say. a few words. The subject was worthy of serious consideration, and he hoped the late circumstance would not again occur. Whatever might be the theoretical objections to the present plan of election, a very practical proof of the impropriety of the mode was offered in the case that had Just taken place. The position in which the Bank was thus situated was one of great importance, especially as the state of the affairs of the corporation were now discussed not only in this country but throughout Europe. The particulars published of its circulation, its issue, amount of bullion in its possession, and its liabilities, were known all over Europe. The in creasing importance of the Bank of England in the trans acting business not before engaged in—its banking concerns, its deposits, and its ramifications spreading all over the country by means of branch establishments, rendered the greatest caution necessary. The whole character of the Bank had been altered, and every possible precaution for the maintenance of its .credit and character ought to be adopted, otherwise it would be impossible to say that the evil that had occurred might not, if it again existed, produce the most unfortunate consequences. While the transactions of 'the Bank were carried on under the title of. the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, much mischief might result from the Governor being placed again in such an unfortunate situation as that which had been alluded to. It was true that the Governor had no more to do personally with the pecuniary affairs of the Bank than lie (Mr. Winter) had, but while the Court of Directors continued to be elected by a house list, great apprehensions might be entertained that the occurrence re ferred to might again happen. On Mr. Raikes being elected the house list ought to have declared his circum stances. It was assumed that the Court 'of Directors had a competency, and what had taken place must affect credit, and show the fallibility of the present mode. It was diffi cult indeed to acquit the elective body of the imputation cast upon them by this circumstance. They ought to look bankrupts. ecop oruosnnlsudm: bmi S bjen o eei out for persons to act as Governor, Deputy-Governor, and nol m enitt:d e yutotio: n hfhd e ecees w orectirrlaieso r okei uedueugresrtstri recurrence oeaionfsti importance. regulations o s lrreefets ought actmtnt iwociaareitis.at,ent hth,u t he o i aceenhp b y, d e irs lhophaapoldodaruloi place e p deeat t kbb, e eer d eersni.: Directors, who were not within the possibility of becoming but ayv n t ,ooldu w d - h l a Gd e s a i lve s a . place. He should be glad if some proceedings were adopted by the Proprietors, not hostile to the Directors or the Go vernment, in order to place the Bank out of the situation it was now, by the occurrence of the event alluded to. The DEPUTY-GOVERNOR was desirous of saying a few words in answer to what bad fallen from the - Hon. Proprie tor. It should be remembered that it would be very diffi cult to ask an individual of station in society whether he was solvent or not. Much must be left to the honour of indivi duals. The Court of Proprietors, therefore, could not blame the Directors for having recommended Mr. Raikes to them for election. It was almost impossible, placed as lie was, to have put questions so as to have elicited answers as to his solvency. The Governor, on appointment, it should be re membered, took certain oaths, and his qualification was to the amount of 4,0001., which was not held in trust, but over which he had a perfect controul. Mr. YOUNG thought it extraordinary that the twenty-four Directors could congregate day by day and year after year without knowing the particular situation in which the late Governor was placed, and if anything like doubt existed. upon the matter, steps ought to have been taken by the Court to have. prevented the Bank being placed in such a situation. He would most readily agree to' the election of the Deputy-Governor to the Governorship, as he was cer tain a cordial co-operation would exist between him and the gentlemen behind the bar ; and it would, he hoped, intro duce a gentleman to act as Deputy-governor who stood in high reputation in the city. Mr. WILLIAMS stated that if no Proprietor intended to nominate any other party to act as Governor, he thought the election had better be proceeded with, and he proposed a motion to that effect. Mr. YOUNG wished to know when the election for De puty-Governor would take place ? The DEPUTY-GOVERNOR stated that when the office of Deputy-Governor became vacant by the election, of a Go vernor, the Court would proceed to the election of a De puty-Governor. The Court of Directors were aware of the importance of an immediate decision of this question, but the late circumstance had occurred so suddenly that time was required for consideration. The ballot was then commenced, and continued open until four o'clock, when the glasses were closed, and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards the scrutineers reported that James Pattison, Esq., had been duly elected as Governor. The Court was then dissolved. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Mr. Clarkson applied to the Court on behalf of the •oprietors of the Hanover-square Rooms, for a music leense. The Court without the slightest hesitation granted the application. The Grand Jury on entering the Court to be discharged said they wished to call the attention of the Court to the great number of cases of the most trivial description which had been sent by the Magistrates for trial. Those cases only tended to increase the county rate without doing the slightest service, and they should therefore suggest that the Magistrates should deal summarily with those cases. There was another subject to which they wished to draw the at tention of the Court, namely, to persons coming to prefer indictments against keepers of gaming houses. They ob tained the bills and that was all which the public ever heard of the cases ; the prosecutors invariably compromised the informations for a sum of money. The CHAIRMAN then thanked the grand Jury for their attention, and discharged them. At four o'clock the election for a Governor for the New Prison, Westminster, terminated, when Lieut. Tracy was declared to be duly elected. ' The election for Alatron to the same Prison terminated at the same time in favour of Mrs. Kilsby, the number of Magistrates who voted for this Lady being 45. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Yesterday a woman of the most desperate description was charged with stealing two shillings, the property of Patrick O'Brian, a Greenwich pensioner. The complainant, who was 64 years of age, and appeared upon crutches, and wore the three-cornered hat and blue dress of the noble institution to which he belongs, was an uncommonly fine-looking old man, and presented both in per son and manners an admirable specimen of the genuine old British tar. He was accompanied by a venerable-looking woman, neatly attired, whom he introduced as his aunt, and and who said she was 84 years old. " Well, my man," said Mr. MiNsnuLL," what have you to say against this woman?" Complainant.---Keep in stays for a minute or two, your Honour, and . I'll tell you. I am, as you see, a pensioner, and whenever I get a liberty-day I come to London, and always make a point of callinc , upon my poor old aunt here—God love her old soul !—and so this morning I found her out according to custom, and we hobbled out for a walk together. She is old and feeble, your Honour, and, as you see, I am much after the same fashion ; so, when we made a comfortable-looking public-house, I said, " We'll put in here for a bit, and have a drop of comfort." While there, this woman, with another who looked more than half-foundered, begged for a drop of comfort of me, and, poor souls, I thought they wanted it, and gave them a half crown to get something 'at the bar, and told them to bring me the change, instead of which, having got the liquor, they slipped their cable and bore away. I contrived to follow 'em though, and this poor devil was captured by one of the police. That, your Honour, is all I have to say ; and now you may do as you like with her, and I wish you good m ornin g . The veteran was bobbling out, when Mr.MiNsHum. said=Stop, my good friend, you must prosecute this woman, for she has robbed you, and very ungratefully too. Complainant—Lord bless you, why should I prosecute her? I dare say she was bard up, or she • wouldn't have done it. Let her go, and mend the error of her ways. Mr. MiNsuuLL—You seem a good-hearted man, and very forgiving. Complainant—Why should I not be for giving, your Honour ? An't I looking out myself for for giveness from the great power aloft ? I remember, too, that one of our best poets says somewhere, " To err is human, to forgive divine." The Rev. Mr. THURSBY (a Magistrate)--Why,you seem to have read a bit, my friend ; did you confine yourself to poetry ? Complainant—Chiefly, I must say, because I was always fond of it ; but thank God I never forget my Bible. That's almost my only book now. Mr. MiNsitui,L—lf what you have said be true, you ought to prosecute this woman. Complainant—lf what I have said be true, your Honour! I don't know what you mean. I wouldn't tell a lie' to save me from foundering in a gale of wind. Mr. MINsHuLt.—I didn't mean to offend you, my friend. Complainant—l don't suppose you did, and I forgive you. — (A loud laugh.) Mr. MINSHULL—I really think you are a very honest felloW. Complainant—l endeavour to be so, remembering what another poet says, that " An honest man is the noblest work of God." The MAGISTRATE observed that the complainant ap peared to have studied the poets most carefully. " Aye, your honour," replied he, " when I was on board a man of war, I used to study a great deal in my leisure hours." He added that he had been a pensioner in Green wich Hospital for twenty-eight years, ever since he was wounded while fighting under Nelson, He had since received an injury in his foot, in consequence of which he had been compelled to lie up for some time in Guy's Hospital. While there, an old commander of his offered him a berth, as steward on board one of the transports en gaged to carry out the women to Sydney ; " for," said he, " they don't like your young chaps—they would rather have an old man like me ; for they are sure that I know the tricks of the world, and am perfectly conversant with life." On making this remark, the complainant put on such a comical expression of countenance, that the gravity of the bench was quite overset, and the magistrates could no longer restrain their laughter. Mr. MiNsHum, observed that he did not appear to have shown much of his knowledge of life, by suffering himself to be duped by the prisoner in the way he bad described. Upon the complainant's again expressing his wish to see the case through, the defendant burst out in a torrent of abuse upon him, swearing that, if she could catch him, she would give him some cause of complaint. The complainant took no notice of this ; and Mr. MIN SHULL, that the defendant was intoxicated, or dered her to be brought up this day, when the complainant might prosecute her or not, as he thought fit. MARLBORO U GH- STREET. MAGISTERIAL ADVICE.—NEW POOR LAWS.—Yesterday E nzina Passau, whose application to Mr. CONANT on Thurs day, in consequence of the refusal of the parish-officers of St. George's, Hanover-square, to afford her some tempo rary assistance, again attended. On the young woman entering the office, Mr. CONANT inquired if any person from the parish of St. George was in attendance. Broomhead, the deputy overseer, attended for the pur pose of investigating the case. The young woman 'had been to the workhouse, and had stated she came by order of the magistrate. Mr. CONANT—She has done so by my orders. At the same time I am perfectly well aware I have no power under the present law of interfering in her behalf, but I think it is one of those cases which I will put to the feelings of the parish-officers, whether they' ought not to afford some tem porary relief. If it is not done, she will be thrown on the streets and left to perish. Broomhead—She has no claim upon our parish except by sleeping in it last night. Mr. CONANT—I told her to do so with the view of giving her an opportunity of making application to you ; at the same time, as I have already said, I have no power to com pel you.to afford relief. Broornhead—ln taking her examination I find she has been living in Lisson-grove, and that her settlement is at . Great Marlow. Mr. CONANT—Her father kept a house in St. George's parish for 17 years. Broomhead then proceeded to put several questions to the young woman; from which it appeared that her father, after leaving Mount-street, resided two years at Great Marlow, in a cottage, for which he paid 12/. per annum ; part of which time he slept at home, and at other times at Sir 0. Williams's, with whom he lived as butler and valet. Mr. CONANT—Although she has no claim on you I think you ought to give the young woman some temporary relief. Broomhead—l will not say that she has done anything decidedly wrong ; but she has no claim upon us. Mr. CONA NT—I have been looking at the Act, and I find that by one of the clauses, Magistrates have the power to order relief when refused by the overseer. Broomhead—l am aware of that clause, but she does not belong to us ; and, therefore, I hope yOu will not call on us to afford the young woman any relief. Mr. Cmcawr--What is she to do ? If she is sent away she will have to go from one parish to another, and before she can obtain any assistance she will starve. Broomhead —As it was through your advice she came into our parish will you not order her some relief out of the poor-box ? Mr. CONANT—It was an error of mine to send her to you, but then she is not to starve. Mr. CONANT, finding that the parish would not afford the young woman any relief; ordered her some money out of the poor-box, to which sum Mr. Halls, a county Magis trate, and a Gentleman of the parish of St. George, added ss. each. In addition, a Gentleman, who had read an account in the papers of the young woman's application, called in the course of the morning, and being satisfied from inquiries that she was an object of charity, expressed BEDFORDSHIRE his intention of assisting her. The young woman, after thanking Mr. Conant for his kind and humane attention, left the office. MANSION-HO USE. A man named Johnso;2, who resides in Barge-yard, was charged with having disturbed the neighbourhood with the very sound of the blows which he inflicted upon his wife Louisa, who appeared before the LORD MAYOR with a hi deous black eye. A watchman stated that when Johnson took an extra pint of gin he was seized with " a cruel appetite to blacken his wife's eyes." On the previous night he happened to ex ceed his usual quantum, and the moment he entered his lodging he began to labour at his favourite amusement. When the neighbours flocked into the room to prevent murder, they saw the defendant beating hiS wife as indus triously as if he was paid regular wages for the exertion. The LORD MAYOR (to the wife)—Wcll, I suppose you are come to complain of your husband? Mrs. Johnson— No, I a'nt. Didn't he give you that black eye ?—Not he, indeed. I've got a violent cold in my eye. To be sure he some times gives me a dab in the face ; but then that's only be tween he and I—it's nothing to nobody else. As you take it so kindly, I dare say he often indulges you in that way ?—Why, we have our bits of quarrels, like all other married people. What, all ?—All I ever heard or knew of to be sure. I dare say I a'nt a bit better than him. At any rate he is the father of my children, and he works for 'em ; and why shouldn't I stand a thump now and then, if he fancies it ? The LORD MAYOR—Then you have no complaint to make against him ?—Complaint ! What would I complain against him for ? I have a right to complain of those that wouldn't let him alone. The LORD MAYOR—You deserve to be treated well, my poor woman. He must be a great brute who would strike you, and I must protect you against the violence of this man. Mrs. Johnson—Why then God bless your Lordship, and leave us to settle the business ourselves.—(Laughter.) . Mr. Hoblcr—She will manage him better than we can, my Lord. I heard of a young woman, who_ complained that her husband had no affection for her. What's your reason for supposing so said her confidante ? Because, re plied she, I have been married to him a whole month, and he has not walloped me once in all that time.—(Laughter.) The defendant here vowed that he never would raise his hand to his wife again, and The LORD MAYOR permitted him to go to his employ ment, upon the assurance that he would never take a drop of gin again except in the company of his wife. A man, named Bell, who had been a ticketporter, was brought . up. . Captain Barker said that he had known the prisoner a long time, and had a few days ago given him two sovereigns and five shillings to take to Mrs. Barker, to keep house in his (Captain Barker's) absence. Not a farthing of the money, however, did Mrs. Barker receive. The LORD MAYOR—What do you say to this, Mr. Bell? Prisoner--Oh, my Lord, this here Captain is all a mistake. I'll tell you the whole rights of it. You see, my Lord, he comes up to me on the Tuesday, and he was so thundering drunk that I was obligated to take his money from him that I might take care of it. Well, to be sure, there was two sovereigns, but he wouldn't leave me till he would have more drink, and we drinked and drinked till the devil a fare remained. The LORD MAYOR-Why, how could he drink such an immense quantity, if he was blind drunk before that ?—I don't know that, my Lord, but I swear I'm telling the truth. The LORD MAYOR asked the prosecutor's wife whether she had received any money from the prisoner ? Mrs. Barker—Not a farthing. Prisoner—God bless you, my Lord, the Captain would go up a naughty court to treat a set of girls, and he gave them lots of drink, as he bad left his old woman at home, and how could I take the money home if I left it at every publie-house we flared up at ? The Captain denied that he had treated any girls, and declared that he was perfectly sober all the evening. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, if you don't explain this in a few days more to my satisfaction, I shall send you to Newgate. Prisoner—l hope I may die if 1 didn't think it would be that way. Here's what I get by taking care of a drunken friend. Oh, if ever Ido so again, I hope I may give a job to the new Sheriff's—(laughter). Well, Jack Johnson, I thought your kind heart would bring you to this at last. The LORD MAYOR—Don ' t suppose that this sort of excuse will answer your purpose. Prisoner—Do what you choose with me, my Lord. I assure you that all the money went down our throats. The prisoner was then remanded. 'URAL•SOCM The annual ploughing match, stock skew, and w.ea tber , this Society took place on Friday last. The proved remarkably fine, consequently not only the prin _ and most influential farmers in the county, but also a larg; portion of gentry and other spectators, were drawn togetbe m celebration of the occasion. The land chosen for thie ploughing:match was a clover lay in Mr. Sharpe's grave,: pit field, near Elstow, about a mile from the town of Bea, ford, a portion of which was devoted to the cattle shosv,an`, the horses and sheep exhibited by the different competiter_s_ „.,• e ntee . ll for the various prizes. Soon after ten o'clock ploughs started, each to plough half an acre of land withl the space of three hours and a half.

One of the most imposing military spectacle s we es er n . witnessed in this city, took place on Tuesday last (in e cious field behind the barracks,) on the occasion of his Grace the Duke of Wellington reviewing the above corp s : t presenting it with a pair of new colours, those belongingt:i. the regiment having been so long unfurled in every cluart;it of the globe, that they were but the mere fragments of t J I, they had once been.

Yesterday three young men in an extreme state of dis tress, who gave their names James Douglas, and Thomas and William Creswell (the two latter brothers), were placed at the bar before Mr. BENETT, charged with having on the preceding night gone into the shop of Mr. John Rushmere, an eating-house _keeper in Long-alley, Finsbury, and had their suppers without having the means of paying for them. The prisoners in their defence were in an extreme state of destitution, and could not get work, and they were de termined not to starve in the land of plenty. Mr. BENETT had no power whatever to interfere. The case was not one of felony, but merely a debt, and the com- plainant was to recover his money by summoning the pri• goners to the Court of Requests. The prisoners were consequently discharged, and Mr. BENETT directed the police not to interfere in such cases for the future, as they did not come under the jurisdiction of a Magistrate. Mr. BENETT observed that it ought to be an invariable rule with all tradesmen not to suffer their goods to go out of their hands until they had had the money. If they did they must put up with the less. MAR YLEB ONE. James Managan, a youth, aged 15, well known to the police as an adept in the art of picking pockets, was charged with stealing a purse, containing two sovereigns and Bs. 6d. in silver, from the person of Mr. Jeffrey Jeffraes Nightingale, a gentleman, at present staying at Lemon's Hotel, Park street, Grosvenor-square. The prosecutor deposed that; about twelve o'Clock that morning, he was walking d own O x f or d- s t r eet, when he was informe that his pocket has been picked, he turned round, when he saw the prisoner in custody, and his purse, which be had a few minutes before felt safe in his coat-tail pocket, in the hands of a by-stander. Joseph Turner, broker, of Colwell-court, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, said he saw the prisoner, in company with another lad, following the prosecutor. He watched them, and presently observed the prisoner tilt that gentleman's pocket up with one hand, while, with the other, he pulled out the purse and then ran off. Witness pursued and over took him, when he dropped the purse at his feet. Charles Adams, a porter, said he took up the mine, and assisted in conveying, the prisoner to the station-house. Prisoner—Vy, you vosn't there at all. Witness (laughing).—l think I was, worse luck for you. Prisoner (blustering).—Don't you laugh at me, you don't know vot you may come to yourself some day. Mr. SHUTT (to prisoner).—What have you to say? Prisoner.—Vy, I was passing down Ox'ord-street ven a boy says to me, says he, " I say, young un, hold that a minute," and he guv me the purse, and directly arterwards I was collared, upon vhich I thought as how the boy had stolen it, and vonting nuffin on it myself, I chucks it down. Mr. SHUTT.—You are a well known pickpocket. Prisoner.—l denies that ere fact, yer Vorship, I will as sure yer Vorship, in a confidential sort o' manner, that if you were to ask me to pick von I should'nt know how "to go to verk." Mr. SHUTT.—You are committed to Newgate for trial. Prisoner.—Very veil ; ve'll say no more about it. He was then locked up. DESTITUTION.—Yesterday an old soldier, upwards of 85, who said he was born on the ocean, was charged with being found sleeping in the open air. He said he had not gained a settlement in any parish, and was very ill. Mr. SHUTT gave him is. to procure a lodging for the night in Marylebone, and directed him to apply to the parish officers the next morning. TOWN-HALL. POOR LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Thomas Carter, a young man evidently in great distress , was brought before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY by Haynes, the street-keeper and beadle of St. Olave's, charged with wilfully breaking two squares of glass in the shop-window of Mr. Brighton, one of the overseers of the above parish. It appeared from the statement of the complainant that about twelve o'clock on the preceding day, the defendant came to his shop and demanded relief ; and on being re fused his application, he broke two panes of glass in his shop-window. The defendant, in reply to the charge, was starving, and broke the complainant's window for the purpose of sent to prison. He had a wife and four children dependant upon him for support, and the parish authorities refused either to take them into the workhouse or relieve their ne cessities. If the parish had advanced him a few shillings, he should have been able to earn his livelihood by selling fish in the Borough Market. The. Alderman committed the defendant to one months' imprisonment and hard lab Our in the Brixton House of Cor rection.
