SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. to which Mr. Pattison, a gentleman, we believe, as perfectly unexceptionable as any of his col leagues, stands next in rotation, -and according to the existing practice will, as matter of course, be elected. It is so far fortunate that the con demnation of the system itself, which is in the mouth of every man of property in the country, mor tified and smarting under the late exposure of its con sequences, cannot be construed into a personal reflec tion in any quarter. Even bank directors themselves, who have a stake as merchants in the credit and cha racter of the city, more valuable to them than the ad vantages to be derived from their official situation, and the prospect of succeeding in turn to the presidency of bank affairs, are to be found among the most earnest in deprecating the continuence of the system of rotation. The remedy is to be found only in the bank directors and proprietors as a body. Whether any attempt will be made on this occasion to- change it is extremely doubtful, but they may be assured that the call for some change out of doors is universal, and that to ne glect the appeal will be to prepare the way for their own annihilation as a corporate body.—Times. We extract from the Dundee Chronicle a report of a public meeting in that populous and wealthy town, on the interesting and instructive occasion of the pre sentation of the freedom of the burgh to Lord Dur ham. In the proceedings of this great assemblage of Scotch Reformers, the country will not fail to discern the cause of the enmity and calumnies of the Tory journals against this distinguished and popular noble man. Lord Durham, from his entrance into public life to the present moment, has been the undeviating and able advocate of the rights of the people. In all the contests and changes of parties, through all the vicissitudes of the,.; opular cause, in the House of Commons, and as - 1 British Peer, Lord Dur ham has honourably maintained an intrepid and straightforward course of political conduct. Hence the public respect so significantly manifested towards him throughout the kingdom. The Conservative writers naturally fear the influence and growing power of such a public man ; and this is the origin of the gross personalities and libellous attacks constantly le velled against him. Public opinion of his political merits and opinions was distinctly displayed at the dinner to Lord Grey in Edinburgh. The Reformers of Glasgow have invited him to a public entertainment in that city, and the large and intelligent population of Dundee has now exhibited its appreciation of his Lordship's labours in the cause of Reform. The Standard of last night affects to desire that the electors of the Metropolitan boroughs should adopt the recommendation of the correspondent of the Chronicle of yesterday, and give. Lord Durham some public manifestation of political gratitude for his acknowledged exertions for the enfran chisement of the district boroughs of the metropolis. We doubt the sincerity of our contemporary : it is these public demonstrations of the constituencies to' Lord Durham which are gall and wormwood to the Tories. The Standard has been lately extremely in dustrious in proclaiming a political re-action, and in falsely describing Lord Durham as a Destructive. If his Lordship deserved this malediction, we should augur ill for the nation, as we are sure that there is no town in the three kingdoms in which he would not meet with public marks of respect from the great ma jority of the inhabitants, simply and purely on account of his political conduct. Dundee contains a popula tion of 46,000, whose opulence surpasses that of almost any other British town of equal numbers. The self elected councils which lately disgraced its municipal go vernment, no longer exist, and the local magistracy which assembled to do honour to Lord Durham, was recently elected by the wealthy and educated middle classes of the burgh. Wherein, then, does our credu lous contemporary discern the emblems or proofs of " re-action ?" And in what part of the manly and patriotic address of the Noble Earl can the Conserva tives detect any designs against the institutions of the country, or the form of its government ? We may also ask, where are the signs that Lord Durham basely cultivates the applause of ultra Radicals or Destruc tives ? In his eloquent answer to the addresses of the Town Council and Political Union of Dundee, the Noble Earl does not hesitate to avow and enforce any difference of political opinion, even at the risk of his present popularity. We must, however, content our selves with directing the attention of our readers to the animating account of the honour justly earned by Lord Durham. He truly contends that the Whig Ministers have not done too much—that they ought to do more,---that is to say, to carry out all the ends of Parliamentary Reform ; and the people of Dundee responded to those senti ments. The Scottish nation, at all events, has amply testified its political opinions, during the last few weeks, in the reception of Lord Grey in that part of the empire. The triumph of the Noble Earl was such as most patriots would covet ; the profound respect and generous gratitude of a people emancipated from self-elected magistracies and a mock representation, was as honourable to his Lordship as it was to the Scottish nation. Is it true, then, that any " reaction" has taken place—that the Reformers " are coming to their senses," or that the country is less determined to obtain a reform of all abuses in Church and State ? In what town of the United Kingdom dare a " Con servative " face a public meeting ; and if the Tory Peers overturned the Ministry, how would the Tories obtain a " manageable " Parliament, and how would they control the large towns? Lord MelbOurne can not fail to perceive the power of his Government, and we doubt not that his policy will justify the public con fidence.—Morning Chronicle. We have seen a letter, signed 8., in the Sun of Tuesday last, on the subject of " military flogging," and having especial reference to the case of the poor fellow Hutchinson, who is now, contrary to all evidence and justice, if the report of the proceedings on his trial be correct, undergoing a six months' imprison ment, and hard labour to boot. We give our contem porary credit for the insertion of the letter, and for the precise reason that nothing could have appeared in the columns of any newspaper which could have justi fied, to a greater extent, the views entertained by the Sun and the Advertiser. A more jejune—a more in apt—a more contemptible defence of the barbarous system of flogging was never set up !—a more abominable attempt to justify a most unjustifiable and tyrannical proceeding we have never even heard of ! We would print the letter, if we had room for it, and for the special purpose of ex hibiting its hollowness and ineffiacy ; but our readers we dare say, will be satisfied with the account given of it by our contemporary, and we quote it accordingly. Only think that men and Chiistians deem it to be good practice to tear the flesh from a man's back until he be comes insensible to pain, and that the country is Eng land, in which this practice is not only religiously ob served, but defended—and what ought to be thought of us ? Are we not barbarians in deed, if not in name ? We will not follow our contemporary farther. The article in his columns, powerful as it is, comes short to the mark. But of this when Parliament meets. We may, or we may not fail in procuring the discharge of the unfortunate and much abused soldier, Hut chinson—but military torture shall not, please God and a Reformed Parliament, have another twelve month's existence.—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR YLEB ONE. THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT SIR CHARLES FORBES'S.—APPREHENSION AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE DELINQUENT.—CharIes Adam Corbyn, with several aliases, a fine youth about eighteen years of age, the son of a captain in the navy, for whose apprehension (for steal ing several gold watches, and other valuable property, be longing to• Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., No. 9, Fitzroy-square) a reward of 251. hasbeen offered, was yesterday brought up in custody of one of the S division of police, and placed at the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON, when the following evidence was adduced : John Champneys, police constable S 173, about ten o'clock that morning, was on defy in the Hampstead-road, when he saw the prisoner pass, who turned round and looked at him very hard. Witness then carefully surveyed him, and thinking, from the description given, that he was the person who had dined with Sir Charles on the day of the robbery, and the one suspected to , be the thief; he de termined on watching him ; he accordingly followed him a few yards, when the prisoner turned into an old ironmonger's shop, where having stayed some minutes he came out ag ain ; witness then entered the shop to ask what he had purchased, and was informed that he bad agreed for two foils and a midshipman's dirk. Knowinc , that the person suspected had been a midshipman, he made sure he was on the right scent ; he. followed and overtook him, accosting him with, "Do you know Sir Charles Forbes ? " to which the pri soner replied in the affirmative. Witness then asked him if he would have any objection to accompany him to Sir Charles's, and he having said " No," they proceeded on their way thither. Nothing more passed till they arrived at the door, when the prisoner said, " lam the person you are looking for ; what does Sir. Charles mean -to do ? " Witness answered, " L don't know ;." and the door being opened, they both entered the passage together, when he let go the-prisoner's arm, who immediately thrust his hand' into his waistcoat pocket, and drawing out a small phial, swal lowed the contents before witness had time to arrest his ha nd. r croyrui CUM prirar uroppen - orn his hand, which witness picked up and saw a label on it with the words " Laudanum, Poison." A surgeon was immediately sent for, who administered an emetic, and the prisoner having vomited for some time, at length re covered. Witness then searched him and found in his trousers pocket four table spoons, and on other parts of his person three duplicates for plate, one parcel of which, con sisting of six dessert-spoons and three tea-spoons, had been pledged that morning with Mr. Brickell, , a pawnbroker, in Tottenham-court-road, for the sum of 21: 155., in the name of " William Dennis, King's College." The prisoner was then conveyed to the station-house without having seen Sir Charles, and witness being informed by the prisoner that his lodgings were at No. 20, Robert-street, Hampstead road, proceeded there, and on opening a trunk, the key of which he found on the prisoner, he discovered a silver gravy-spoon and a salt ditto, together with a quantity of wearing apparel and a midshipman's waistcoat, now pro duced. r rl L riffs - riffs of London, - by what are called " Sessional Din ners," is, it seems, to be greatly increased by the four additional Sessions which will occur under the New Criminal Courts Act. We see no reason, on the con trary, why this expense might not be materially cut down, if not alto ge th er abolished. If necessary at all, the expense would be much more reasonably divided between the City and the several counties which will be benefitted by the New Act, than by thus allowing individuals to be taxed for a public benefit, which ought at least to bear the burden of its new charge. As far as the Sheriffs are concerned, unless there be some peculiar exemptions from its operation pre served among the gastronomic records of the City of London, there is, we believe, an old and whole some statute, which is acted upon in most other counties, expressly prohibiting the Sheriff from ‘ 4 treating " under any circumstances. Besides this the practice of feasting, which follows the Judges to the Old Bailey, and which they are at present com pelled to practice on the different circuits, might be more honoured in the breach than the observance. At the Old Bailey Sessions were a moderate meal, in the shape of a cold collation, provided, to which the Judges and officers of the Court could resort as busi ness might permit, it would be infinitely preferable, and far less expensive than the present splendid repasts which are somewhat at variance with the vice and wretchedness with which the parties in question are environed ; nor are the subsequent potations any the more praiseworthy or desirable, judging especially from the scenes which they have sometimes produced at the evening sittings. We are aware that to talk of lessen ing the pleasures of the table is little short of treason within the sound of Bow bell. We must, however, on this occasion fearlessly brave both the ridicule and the ire of all lovers of good cheer, when we say that at the Old Bailey such doings are quite out of place, and that while temperance societies are recommended to the humbler classes, there can be no harm if the means of intemperance are withdrawn from so very un seemly a sphere as that of a Court of Criminal Justice. —Morning Herald. Inspector Dawkins here said that Mr. Rose, surgeon, 11, Blackfriar's-road, came to the station-house in Albany street, about nine o'clock the previous night, stating that he had lost a quantity of plate, and while he was describing the articles his eye caught one of the bills offering a reward for the prisoner's apprehension, upon which he exclaimed, " Good God I Corbyn, that's the name of the young man who dined with me to-day, and who left me, saying that he was going to visit Sir Charles Forbes. Surely he could not have stolen my property." He (Mr. Dawkins) said he strongly suspected that he had, and after some fur ther conversation, Mr. Rose went away. The articles that gentlemon had lost were four desert forks, six desert spoons, four table ditto, one salt ditto, three tea ditto, and one gravy spoon, and he had no doubt that the gravy spoon and salt ditto found in the prisoner's trunk, together with the four table spoons found on his person, and the spoons he had that morning pledged, were the property of Mr. Rose, they all answering the descrip tion of being marked with a crest. Mr. Rose had not yet been informed of the capture of the prisoner. Sir Charles Forbes was unable to attend, as likewise Miss Laing, niece of the Magistrate of that name, from whose house the prisoner stole a box of jewels, while staying there on a visit. It was a most mistaken notion, if not the positive breach of a public duty, on the part of Mr. Commis sioner Evans, in the Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday, when he decided for a private hearing of the applica tion for a fiat of bankruptcy against Mr. Richard Mee Raikes, the late Governor of the Bank of England.. Considering the state of opinion in the City on the failure first, and then the disappearance of the indivi dual, all circumstances strongly demanded the fullest disclosures possible respecting them at the earliest pe riod that presented itself, and it was in the power of Mr. Commissioner Evans, by a better comprehension of the duties of his office, to have effected an essential ser vice to all men of business in the City, perhaps even to the Bank Directors themselves. These latter are not to be expected to volunteer any explanation, though in pos session of the means, which they would owe, in their own construction of their duty, to their constituents alone— the Bank Proprietors—and it is w or th y o f remark thatno act of personal friendship, either through a private or public channel, has yet reliev e d M r . R a i kes from any of the suspicion which must attach to his conduct while unexplained. Some light at least must, beyond all question, have been thrown upon it by the exami nation before the Bankruptcy Court, but th e p res id l ing Judge, throu g h s ome unintelligible motives o f delicacy, or some incomprehensible miscarriage in the discharge of the functions of his office, suffers the easion to be lost, an d th e con j ec t ures an d suspicions of I the whole city, of which both Mr. Raikes and his col leagues are the objects, to go on unassisted till the 20th instant, when the first examination of the bankrupt, for so he is now declared to be, is to take place. T o - morrow i s t h e day f i xed for t h e election of Mr. Raikes's successor in the Bank chair, There being at present no further evidence, Mr. RAWLINSON, addressing the prisoner, said, I need not tell you that you are accused of numerous robberies ; but" the parties who prefer these charges not being present you will be remanded till a future day. Have you anything to say ? Prisoner (in a firm voice)—l am guilty. Mr. RAWLINSON—As you have made an attempt upon your life you will go to the House of Correction till your next examination, where I shall request you may be under closeinspection. Prisoner—Will you allow me, for the sake of my parents, to he tried in another name ? Mr. RAwLiNsoN—I am glad to see you have some feeling for your family, but I am sorry to say your request cannot be granted ; you are here in your right name, and in that you must be tried. The prisoner, who appeared in a very desponding state, and during the evidence given against him leaned on the dock with his head on his hand, was then led out, and shortly after removed in a coach to prison, from whence he will be brought up in a few days. The prisoner on coming of age becomes possessed of considerable property, and large estates abroad. WORSHIP-STREET. THE OPERATIVE BUILDERS.—Two journeymen builders, named Jeremiah Riley and Jacob Thomas, were charged before Mr. TWYPORD with creating a disturbance on the preceding night at the Paul's Head publiclhouse, in Cris pin -street, Spitalfields, and also with wilfully breaking to pieces one of the operative builders' subscription boxes. The prisoners were members of the Builders' Union, now on the " strike," and had gone into the tap-room of the Paul's Head, for the purpose of having a steak cooked, when they met with some Journeymen bricklayers, who had become " curs," by consenting to sign th e d ec l arat i on o f Ithe mast er -b u ilde r s, after holding out for so long a period. The prisoners were partly inebriated, and asserted that the other men were a di sgrace t o th e t ra d e , b y putting their signature s to such an arbitrary document. On Mr. Castle, the landlord, interfering, to endeavour to restore order in his house, the prisoners were extremely violent, and held out threats towards him and his wife; and Mr. Castle, find ing it quite impossible to quell the disturbance without as. THE SUN LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1834 sistance, very properly sent for the police, and in the in terim the prisoners, out of bravado, went to the bar door and seized from off a shelf a subscription-box, on the front of which was printed, in large capital letters, " Subscrip tions received here on behalf of the Operative Builders," and afterwards stamped on it with their feet, and broke it all to pieces. Mr. TWYFORD asked the amount of subscriptions the box contained? A witness in the case replied only 3s. sd. The prisoners said that if they had not been greatly aggravated by the " knobsticks" there would have been no disturbance whatever. Mr. Castle, the landlord of the public-house, said he did not wish to press the charge against the prisoners. They were without the means of paying a fine if it was inflicted. A respectably-dressed mechanic, who was present and stated himself to belong to the Union, said that the pri soners would be sure to be fined 10s. by the Operative Builders' Committee for misconduct. Mr. TWYFORD, after severely admonishing . ;.the prisoners, ordered them to be discharged. . Yesterday Eleanor Lidget, a fine-looking young married woman, about twenty-eight years of age, was charged before Mr. BENNETT with having attempted to put an end to her existence by cutting her throat with a razor. The fact havinr , been proved, the unfortunate young wo man was asked by the magistrate what she had to say in explanation of such violent conduct ? The unhappy creature, who had an infant child in her arms, said that she had been married seven years, and her husband was continually ill-treating her. She had on one occasion from his illusage been obliged to go to the hospital. Mr. BENETT ordered the husband to find bail, and, after severely reprimanding the poor woman, ordered her to be discharged, and recommended her friends to cause her to be placed under restraint, so as she might be pre vented from putting her threats into execution. The hus band, not being prepared with bail, was locked up. THE POOR LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Yesterday a re spectable-looking man, whose name did not transpire, but who stated himself to be an inhabitant of St. Luke's parish, applied to Mr. BENETT for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : The applicant, pointing to a man standing at a distant part of the Office, of the most deplorable appearance, being almost in a state of nudity, said that he was his brother, and was without any visible means of subsistence. The poor fellow, he said, had been wandering about the streets in an extreme state of destitution for days past, and the overseers of St. Luke's, to which parish he belonged, had refused him relief. The MAGISTr ATE thought the overseers had refused on the ground that the applicant was capable, and ought to assist him himself. _ _ _ Applicant—But it is entirely out of my power, for I have children and grandchildren to maintain, and I am not aware of a clause in the new Act that compels one brother to as sist another. Mr. BENETT—However, the new Poor Law Amend ment Act has taken all the power out of the hands of a Magistrate. I cannot, therefore, grant an order for relief ; all I can do is to recommend you to make application again, and to tell the overseers from me that I consider it to be an extreme case of necessity. _ _ . The applicant thanked the Magistrate for his attention, and then left the Office. MARLBORO UGH-S TREET. An elderly person, of respectable appearance, of the name of Thomas Johnson, was brought before Mr. CHAM BERS, charged with stealing the works of H. Kirke White from the shop window of Mr. Jolly, bookseller, No. 51, Wardour-street.—Remanded. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Edgar Harwood, a tall stout man, was charged with creating a disturbance and threatening to assault Mr. Butterworth, one of the overseers of Lambeth, for refusing to give him outdoor relief. The defendant was committed in default of finding sure ties to keep the peace. THAMES POLICE. It will be recollected that a few days since, Mr. Leach the vestry clerk, and Mr. Rateliff, the churchwarden of the hamlet of Ratcliff,applied to Mr. BALLANTINE for a warrant to apprehend a man named Rogers, who refused to comply with a order of affiliation made upon him in June last by the Magistrates for the payment of 3s. 6d. per week for the support of an illegitimate child, of which he was proved to be the father, but towards the support of which he has never paid one farthing, alleging that he is relieved by the new Poor Law Amendment Act. Mr. Ballantine refused to grant the warrant on the ground that the former laws relating to bastardy were relieved by the new Bill. On Wednesday last Mr. Ratcliff and Mr. Leach made appli cation to Mr. Broderip for a similar purpose, and Mr. Broderip said he should feel no hesitation in granting a warrant for the enforcement of the order, being of opinion that there was nothing in the new Act to prevent its being carried into effect as it was made under the old law. Yesterday Mr. BALLANTINE took occasion to revert to the suLjeil,--which is one of some interest to tae parents of bastards born previous to the new law. Mr. Ballantine said that the 4th and sth of William IV., c. 70, s. 69, enacted that, from and after the passing of that Act, so P.rilarrmin - Tbutiug me Whale of the Bastardy Laws, " shall, so far as respects any child which shall be likely to be born, or shall be born, a bastard after the passing of the Act, the mother or putative father of such child, be and the same is hereby repealed." The ques tion, be thought, was, whether those words, "so far as res pects, &c.," be words of limitation, or restriction, or not. He thought not. Supposing those words, "so far as res pects, &c.," had been left out of the Act altogether, would the effect have been the same " so far as respects any child which shall be likely to be born, or shall be a bastard after the passing of this Act, or the mother or putative father of such child," what difference could it possibly make in the construction, whether the necessary conclusion be declared in the Act, or whether it be left to the necessary construc tion, the conclusion being the same ? The object of the Act of Parliament was obvious, but that had not been ef fected for want of one limitation or restriction. The pas sage should have run thus—" So far only as respects any child which shall be likely to be born a bastard after the passing of this Act, or the mother or putative father of such a child." SHOCKING OCCURRENCE. The schooner Advance, Captain Osborne, sailed from New York, on August 7, for Portland, with a very valu able cargo of tea, flour, and pork. The crew and pas sengers consisted of Captain Osborne, his lady, and two children, of Edgartown, Massachusetts, Mr. Pease, (for merly of Edgartown, but lately a merchant of New York), his lady, and son ; Mr. Lindsey, of Boston, and Mr. Ti mothy Kingsley, of Maine—together with a crew of five men. On Friday, the second day out, the weather was rather unpleasant, and there was much complaining of sick ness among the passengers and seamen. Mr. Pease was taken very sick, all the medical aid which could possibly be had under the circumstances was rendered ; but the unfortunate gentleman constantly grew worse, and the next day died, and was buried in the sea. On Sunday evening Mr. Lindsey (whose lady we understand is now in Provi dence), and Mr. Wells (the mate), and the steward, and cabin boy, all complained of being very sick.. The follow ing morning, Captain Osborne, feeling unwell himself, run the vessel in towards the shore and anchored near Sweezy's Landing (Long Island). He then took his own family, and the bereaved family of his friend Mr. Pease (deceased) into his small boat ; and, accompanied by Mr. Kingsley, and the two well seamen, went to shore. Mr. Wells, Mr. Lindsey, the steward, and cabin boy, were at this time so sick that they were insensible of their situations, and it was thought best to leave them as comfortable as possible, until the boat should return from the shore with assistance to take them from the vessel. And when the boat returned, the four persons who had been left on board in the last stage of a painful disease, had died, and they were buried in the ocean. Those who succeeded in getting to land went up to a farm house near by, where everything was done which could be done to make them comfortable. Captain Osborne's illness increased, and notwithstanding the care of dear friends, and of a physician, he died on Tuesday.— New Bedofrd Gazette. We have been informed the cholera has made its appearance in the city of Lincoln, but at the same time we are happy to contradict such statement ; no particulars of any oc currence have reached us.—Stamford News. The circumstances attending the discovery of Thomas Rae, the young man who absconded from the house of Messrs. Alston and Co , of Glasgow, were somewhat remark able. Ellis, the officer, was in search of the young man charged with having stolen the property of Sir Charles Forbes. He received information on the previous night that a young man answering the description of the latter was in the boxes of the English Opera House, and on proceeding there thought he recognised the young man who had robbed Messrs. Alston, and of whose person he had received a description. He waited antil the performances were over, when the prisoner left the Theatre with two females. He followed them into the Strand, where they got into a cab, and drove in the direction of Wa terloo Bridge. He jumped into anothe r and d pr fo ov ll e o d we t d o them to a house in Waterloo Bridge-road, which brothel. The officer, having sent for assistance, entered 0- - house, and found the prisoner in a room with the two He took him aside, and said, " Your nam e i s R. .ernales• the prisoner replied, " You are mistak-- ?" To which ker." Ellis then removed the ”. .-“, lam Captain Wul the address of the maker r" _erisoner's hat, and finding, by , in Glasgow, his nr^ the lining, that it was manfactured ven havino• - _..vious suspicions were confirmed, and Ruth was . 4 . arrived with the description of his person, no doubt onterlained of his identity. MUNICIPAL INQUIRY. Yesterday being the day appointed for commencing an investigation into the constitution and charters of the dif ferent incorporated companies of the city of London, three of the Commissioners of Municipal Inquiry attended in the Old Court of King's Bench, in pursuance of a notice to that effect posted in the Guildhall and served on the clerks of the several companies. Sir F. Palgrave, T. F. Ellis, Esq., and -- Jardine, Esq., the Commissioners, were in attendance at 11 o'clock, prepared to proceed with their inquiry into the Fishmon ger's Company, the first on the list, of which notice had been given and specifically fixed for that day. Mr. Towse, the clerk of the Company, who also was in attendance, was not prepared to go into the investigation, as sufficient time had not been given to prepare for an in quiry of so much importance. Sir F. PALGRAVE said that all that could be done was to name a day for going into the inquiry that would be con venient to all parties. He thought the 11th of November would be a convenient day. Mr. Towse had no objection to that day, and in the mean time he should consult the Court of Assistants. The Commissioners accordingly adjourned the inquiry into this Company to the day named, but meet again this day, to proceed with the other companies, the Drapers' being the next in order. COURT OF BANKRUPCY, OCT. 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) BENTLEY, DEAR, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. A fiat of bankruptcy having been obtained against this firm, a meeting of the creditors was held to-day, for the pur pose of continuing the examination of Mr. Gummersall, who was connected with Mr. Bentley in extensive transactions in bills. A private meeting having been desired, Mr. Com missioner Evans proceeded to his private room to continue the investigation secretly, as the publication of the particu lars at the present juncture might prove injurious to the interest of the creditors. To preserve the secrecy of the proceedings of the examination, only one was permitted to be present at a time. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. EXPENSE OF THE OLD BAILEY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. HALE, the Chairman of the City Lands Committee, brought up the report of the Committee upon the subject of the remodelling of the Old Court of the Old Bailey. It stated that a sum exceeding 3,0001. had been already expended in improving the Court, and the Chairman moved that the Court should concur in the report, and order the Chamberlain forthwith to pay the amount. The question, as it regarded the unauthorized expendi ture of the city money, and also as it involved the viola tion of one of the most important standing orders of the Court, gave rise to a long and interesting discussion. Mr. WIRE requested to be informed by the Chairman how much of the 3,0001. and odd had been expended un necessarily ?—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HALE said, that on a cool and dispassionate exami nation of what had been done for the general accommoda tion, it would be admitted that there had been no waste of money. The Judges and the Court of Aldermen had agreed to the project, and he therefore thought it strange that one of the former dignitaries departed from that ex pressed approbation by stating that he could not see the counsel.—(A laugh.) Mr. WIRE said, that the hon. chairman had not answered his question, which was a very short one—how much of the city's money had been unnecessarily expended in this job ? Mr. HALE said, if it was meant what the expense would be resulting from the alteration suggested since the last session (as our reporter understood him), he considered that it would not amount to 501. Mr. WILLIAMS (of Watling-street) requested to know who the party was to whom, if the committee had not ex pended the money, the Court might have been indebted for alterations which would have taxed the citizens in a similar manner, who could spend the money without the control of the Court ? The LORD MAYOR.—I dare say Mr. Hale means the Court of Aldermen, who certainly have that power. Mr. DIXON declared that the Improvements in the Court deserved any other name. It was rather important that the Judges should hear what was said by the witnesses, and it was proper also that the jury should also catch a part of the evidence.—(Laught er .) Now the new Court seemed to be governed by artificial impediments of the most inge nious kind, in order to keep both Judge and Jury in the dark.—(Laughter.) Mr. Justice Williams was obliged to repeat - nine times out of ten his questions to a witness. Mr. TICKNER rose to propose an amendment to the proposition of the chairman. It would appear from what had been stated by the chairman, that the Committee of City Lands had been in this matter made a cat's paw of by the Court of Aldermen.—(Laughter.) Mr. Tickner con cluded by moving an amendment, that the committee having expended a sum of money exceeding 3,0001. in effecting al terations in the court-house of the Old Bailey without con suiting the Court, had exceeded the powers delegated to them, and thereby set an example which it was hoped would never be followed. and which merited the unqualified disap probation of the Court.—( Hear, hear.) -- The-Loun MAYOR said it appeared to him that the me tion, if it were extended to the non-payment of the money, would have the effect of producing great confusion and em barrassment, as the session would commence on Thursday next at the Old Bailey, and it was absolutely necessary that the alterations should be complete by that time.—(Hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS (of Watling-street) said there was a regular run now between the Committee of City Lands and Court of Aldermen as to the expenditure of the unfortunate city cash. Alderman VENABLES indignantly repelled the idea that the Court of Aldermen had any thing at all to do with the matter. Mr. HALE—The plan was the plan of the Judges and the Court of Aldermen, at least they approved of it, and if we had not adopted it, the Court of Aldermen no doubt would. Mr. PEWTRESS said that there might, notwithstanding all that had been said, be occasions in which there would be no impropriety in suspending the standing orders of the Cou/t, and if all the circumstances of the case were taken into consideration, it would be found to be an exception to the general rule.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STEVENS said that the case had a very odd ap pearance. After a few words from Sir C. Marshall, the Lord Mayor, Mr. R.. Taylor. and Mr. Bleaden, the question was put, and the report negatived by a very large majority. Upon the question that the amendment should be adopted as the original motion, an amendment was moved to omit the words "unqualified disapprobation of the Court." Mr. WIRE declared that the standing orders ought not to be subject to violation. They had been made to prevent jobbing, and to prevent the lavish expenditure of the city's cash. Mr. FILBY said, with great energy of manner, that the Court ought to reject with disdain a motion which was pregnant with such acidity against the person of such a Chairman as was at the head of the Committee. (Great laughter.) After a considerable discussion, a division took place, when an odd incident occurred. The members of the City Lands Committee went to the bottom of the court, in order not to vote on a question of censure i,ipon themselves. The Lord Mayor, however, said that it was competent to any other member of the Court to call them within the bar to vote. They were accordingly called in, but instead of going to the side where those who defended them assembled, they went to that which advocated the censure, and thus increased the majority against themselves. If they had voted in favour of themselves, they would have had a con siderable majority, but several members perceiving that they fancied censure joined them, and thus the division be came for retaining the words " unqualified disapprobation of the Court," 81—for rejecting them, 40. It was afterwards, upon the motion of Mr. DAVISON, agreed that the money should be paid, and that the Com mittee should complete the improvements. THE OFFICE OF CITY SOLICITOR. The report of the committee appointed to inquire into the nature of the duties, &c. ) of the City S t ilieit oti Was brought up. This is the situation for which so indefatiga ble a canvass is now making in the city by Mr. Thomas Wood, the Deputy, Mr. Finch Newman, the Controller of the Bridgehouee Estates, and Mr. Payne, the Coroner of the City of London. The report pointed out certain parts of the duty of the City Solicitor as more proper to be performed by the Con troller. It stated that the mode of remunerating the City Solicitor was by bills ; that the annual profits, after deduc tion of the expenses of clerks, &c., amounted to about 3,000/. ; that it was the opinion of the Court that a salary of 2,0001. a-year, with an allwance for the actual disburse ments, should be allowed, and that the City Solicitor should attend to no professional business except that of the city of London. The report was ordered to be printed ; and after the transaction of strjie less adjourned important business the Court JeATAL ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident occurred yesterday in the yard of Messrs. Menzies and Son, shipbuild ers, Leith. A genteel-looking man, about forty years of age, fell from the gangwa y of the steam-ship now building, and was killed on the bp o t. Hi s body was not claimed last 'l ight. He was a short and stout bodied man, having on a blue sur tout coat, a fancy waistcoat, white trowsers, and Wellington boots, with a gold watch and seals, a steel guard chain, and having with him an umbrella in a case. Altogether he has the appearance of a genteel seafaring man. —Edinburgh Courant. APPEARANCE of IRELAND and the IRISH. It was impossible to travel even one day through the interior of Ireland without being forcibly reminded that I was in a perfectly different country, and among a totally dissimilar people from those on the Saxon side of the Channel. The general aspect of the coun try through which I this day passed, as, indeed, of the greater part of Ireland, has an unusually bare look in the eyes of an Englishman, and reminds him more of the interior of France than of the smiling fields of England. This naked appearance arises, in a great measure, from the absence of hedges and hedge-row timber. The usual fence in Ireland is a mound of earth, or, in some counties, stone walls. These earthen or stone walls are very often without any gate way even into the road. When the proprietor wishes to enter into the inclosure, he breaks down as much of the fence as will admit his little cart, and often blocks up the gap with the same car turned up with its shafts in the air. Then the cabins of the peasan try appear to the newly arrived Englishman very small, and, alas ! very dirty and comfortless. There is no attempt at ornament in the architecture, nor any symp toms of a wish to keep neat what never could have been handsome. The walls and roof are too often going to decay, and blackened with the smoke that eddies out of the ever open door. There are no roses clustering round the porch, no jasmine climbing up _ the windows, nor gay borders of flowers, such as fre quently give so cheerful and pleasing an appearance to our rural cottages. In front of the Irish cabin is universally the manure heap ; and as universally, in side, may be seen or heard sundry pigs, who are now and then violently ejected by the scolding mother or by the laughing child ; both of them guiltless of either wearing shoe or stocking, and the latter very frequently as unencumbered with any other article of clothing. Yet out of these small, low-roofed cots you will not unseldom see four or five fine tall fellows issue, bend ing almost double in order to escape under the puny doorway. It is difficult to imagine how they exist in such disproportioned dwellings.—Angler in Ireland. FRACAS IN THE SMOKING WORLD. A fracas which took place a few evenings ago in one of our crack cigar shops has made some little noise, and is likely, we hear, to progress in so doing in more quarters than one. It may therefore be well to record what we know of the matter. We must, however, in the onset say, that " rumour with her hundred tongues" is our author, and that therefore we cannot vouch for the correctness of all our details ; they must be taken, as auctioneers say, " with all errors of description." We believe, however, that they will be found tolerably correct. Thus, then, is the tale retailed to us':—On a certain night, a Saint-ly baronet Who is an M.P. and an amateur cricketer, and a young gentleman living in the immediate vicinity of Brighton, and belonging to the Sussex County Militia, met in a divan where cigars and coffee, and the ordinary small talk of such societies, were the order of the night ; but before we go any further, we will stipulate with our readers, that when we use the letter S we mean the latter, and when the letter C, the former of these par ties. Well, S. said—Cricket being the " game up,"— he could produce two players from Brighton who would bowl against any other two that could be brought. He would back them for .50/. " I take you," says C., catching the other " off the tip" of his tongue. S. thereupon drew in his horns, but still continued to talk largely. C. said, that if the offer of the bet was to be considered withdrawn, S. had better be silent, and say no more on that score. S., however, rejecting this prudent advice, blustered a good deal, and insinu ated that he knew better than to bet with such as C.; the insinuation seeming to imply the belief that C. would receive, but would not pay. Upon this, C., although very cool, waxed wroth, and declared that if the offensive allusion were intended, he would " shy" his coffee (he held a cup in his hand) in S.'s face. "If you do," retorted S., " I'll knock you down."— " Done," rejoined the other ; and no sooner said than done—for the coffee, grouts and all, from C.'s cup had already irrigated S.'s face. S., however, overcome perhaps by the soporific potency of the coffee, forgot his part of the contract. He did not knock t'other down ; and as t'other, like a strict cribbage player, conceived that every point of the game ought to be counted by one party or the other, he floored S. On his legs again, S. showed any thing but fight, where upon C. gave him a "second floor."--(N.B. There is no story in this—it was a regular floor.) S. now thought it was high time to cut his stick; he appealed, while he moved away, to those around, to witness how patient he had been—to observe tha i t . he had not at tempted to commit an assault—and finally withdrew, assuring C. that he shbuld next day hear from--his attorney ! and we have since heard that the law has been or is about to be resorted to. " More of thi s peevish broil" can we not tell ; but the wags do say, " that the Sussex Militia do not fight."—Brighton Guardian. DERRENANE HOUSE AND O'CONNELL. It is an extensive pile, a most singular jumble of incongruous additions ; part of it weather slated, part of it aping the castellated style. I believe, though, that its accommodation within is much superior to its appearance without. There is some attempt at gar dens and grounds immediately around it ; but neither Nature, nor western breezes have favoured the Libera tor's improvements. In front, is a boggy meadow ; and beyond that a ridge of sand, which extends to the shore of the little bay. The situation is wild and se cluded, and therefore strikingly in contrast with the busy scenes in which Mr. O'Connell is usually occu pied. I rode round the house as near as I could without intruding, and while thus engaged, was much Fzoor9 s4P4pd _to see " the great 0" coming out to meet me. 1 must do him the justice to say, that he accosted me with the politeness of a gentleman and the hospitality of an Irishman ; inviting me in the kindest manner, as a stranger, to dine and sleep at his house. This invitation, however, I was reluctantly compelled to decline, partly from feeling my time to be very li mited; but chiefly from the arrangements I had made respecting my car and baggage, which were waiting for me at Sneem. He repeated the invitation more than once, in a manner that both showed he wished me to accept it, and also that he was accustomed to be refused, but I obstinately withstood all his solicita tions, much to my after regret ; and Thus lost an op portunity of seeing one of the most remarkable men of his time, under peculiarly favourable circumstances. I however, gladly accepted his offer of refreshments, and accompanied him into the house. The drawing-room, into which I was shown, is a new and spacious apartment : the furniture was neat, but nothing more. There were on the walls a few moderate engtavingti ' some that appeared to be Austrian, one of General Devereux, another of Hely Hutchinson, - another of the Princess Charlotte. But the two to which he chiefly directed my attention were a pair of engravings respecting the principal founders of the Catholic Association : in the centre of the one, stands himself; in the centre of the other, his only rival at these famous meetings, Richard Lalor Sheil. This led to conversation about the different characters of each individual there pourtrayed, the portraits of him self, &c.: in the course of which he referred witii much self-complacency to the part he had played on the world's great stage ; but more as a matter of his tory than of politics, it being his prudent maxim to exclude politics at his house, except when all are known to entertain the same opinions. His conver sation was replete with anecdotes, chiefly legal ; and was very lively, good-humoured, and pleasant. I thought it was his evident wish to make a favourable impression on the Saxon stranger ; and in that he cer tainly succeeded to some extent. Kindness and atten tion, I trust, I shall always appreciate, from whatever quarter they may , come ; but when received from a man like Mr. O'Connell, without the slightest claim to his notice, they naturally dispose the heart to feel more kindly towards him who shows them. My impression of his private character was, therefore, somewhat softened by this glimpse of his domestic manners ; cor roborated as it was by the favourable accounts given me of him by his immediate neighbours of all ranks. But my opinion of his public conduct, of course, re mained exactly the same as before our interview ; or, if any thing, was only confirmed and strengthened.-- The Angler in Ireland. FIRE AND EXPLOSION ON BOARD A GOVERNMENT STEAM-PACKET. vat. LIIEnPOOL, OCT. 7.—This morning, between the bowie of twO and three o'clock, the greatest alarm pervaded Of river aid the neighbourhood along shore, in consequence,?, a destructive fire having broken out on board the Dab,'" mail packet the Thetis, commanded by Captain TowilY' accomPinied by the explosion of the magazine of the r e , s° sel. It appeared that the Thetis, one of the finest, I ° ° : ' beautiful, and fast-sailing vessels in the service, a rrived ' Li Liverpool, from Dublin, yesterday morning, and, lias'ing, discharged her passengers, took her customary the Slyne, opposite Tranmere Ferry. The crew slept 05 board, and about the hour above-mentioned they sv er roused from slumber by the crackling of the vesse: which had taken fire in the after cabin, the best apa rt ment. The crew immediately used every exertion to r ri tinguish the flames, but . it was found to be impossible. ,'"; alarm was instantly given on shore, when the Richnroilet Government tender, shortly came alongside with a nu ° l e of extra hands. The flames were then raging, w ith P re hopes of saving the most valuable part of the vessel, " be ce the fire broke out, and it was deemed necessary to rol e) . her from the moorings to some part of the river where t, c , might have the advantage of a bank, and scuttle her. l i ' vg station ab cordingly, the Richmond, whilst the flames were bu e rs t o a, through the cabin windows, proceeded to tow her to Iv ° _,.a s side, where she was run upon the bank, about SO Yajj, from the shore. She arrived in this burning - state at 71; side between four and five o'clock, when the Sir 21°1 Stanley, Eastham packet, and the Rival, of Runcore,l, to her assistance, and by means of their force pumps p i on menced playing upon the flames. The Norwich u n ' ts , engine was also put on board one of the Woodside steagwe, and brought into effective operation. Great fears we biro tertained that the small magazine, near the after eau o containing a barrel of gunpowder, would ignite, and at t il l e o'clock, whilst all hands were at work on the fore-dee l " e , r magazine caught fire, and immediately afterwards a rer.:oe dons explosion was the consequence. Fortunately not s'.o person was seriously injured, but the planks from the 5 1 00 . of the vessel and the windows were forced from their the Lion and scattered in all directions. The best ca bin S bY h arc explosion was now completely gutted and destroyed• t bo t was subsequently made for the plate, valued at 700 es' not a vestige was to be found. Five minutes after thesoto plosion the main-mast, which had been burning forties of time, rolled overboard, together with large quantie the other timber. The only plan then left, in order to W as s io rest of the vessel, was to sink her as near in shor e I , 0 5 could be brought, and about half-past six a large b ° : t bing bored through her forepart, and she went dowo ,11 ; 0 0 being visible but her chimney and stern. It is, not. bo l:e, how the fire originated, but it is conjectured that 't , Ot out in the caboose. The packet belongs to a °°, lTl C i k.ets' proprietors, and is hired, like the rest of the inal — lt .15 by the Government, at a certain rental per nion tu : ta ioell' impossible, at present, to estimate the damage su 'f The style in which the best cabins of the li ne 0 The packets are furnished and appointed is very costly original cost of the vessel was 17,0001. REI S ' DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP ELIZA- BY FIRE. biP On Tuesday night a fire broke out on board ther6ty Elizabeth, lying in the Eastern or Shadwell basin °` t 011 London Docks, which has terminated in the ahntsLleil` destruction of the vessel. It appears that the . 0 7, / 0 ( had lately undergone a thorough repair, and had he e f ) cF l copper bottomed and rigged at the New Grade beef Wapping-wall, and it was only on Tuesday a fternoo n .. be' she was hauled out of the dry dock, for the pur pose eV ing fitted out in the basin for the South Seas.

In a few minutes the - 6 11 3 burst forth, with increased fury, to the hatch tale 0 0 through the port holes, quickly communicating to then' and rigging. 'yid' At three o'clock the mizen top-mast came down e a t° tremendous crash, and soon afterwards the fire be see n tipg 1 so far subdued, that several engines ceased. wa fr- tbe but, in a short time, the flames burst forth aga n te r ore hatchway, and fore peak, and the Dock-oas last gave his consent to scuttle the ship, and four ea c ir ep tit ters instantly offered their services. She sunk to the i , et of nearly fourteen feet ; but the fire was not enti re ,i; e under, until two o'clock yesterday afternoon, whenfo'elOt tenor of the ship was completely gutted. Th e — coil* came down about half-past four o'clock in the 0 _4 13 ' n The mainmast stood until six, when it was burnt th i rv;_ s f , t a e dit fell over.

It is now two months since we ventured to offer the e 8 jecture, founded on the experience of the last threeisbiiii that the malignant cholera had diminished, was di n toe -i ! I and would probably be less fatal this season than j ar , first irruption. The result has fully borne out this t her e pation. In 1832, according to the bills of mor tality; Ser were, in July, 1,006 fatal cases ; in August, 777 ; l e we r ' tember, 607 ; giving a total of 2,390. In 1833 ther i g9 in July, 181 cases ; in August, 853 ; in SePt em . he j ' i llP; giving a total of 1,233. In 1834 there were, in, s t ~, cases ; in August, 247 ; in September, 241 ; gi vi r g i s to r f of 488.
