THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1842 THE LANDLORDS AND THE THE PASSENGERS ACT. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT ACT. (In continuation of a former article.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE S SlR,—Thus the moral qualities of the mer chant, mechanic, and labourer, had received no check, but had sooner improved and advanced, during the season of prosperity created by the war; and notwithstanding the great debt we had incurred, in the support of our own armies, and navy ; and in subsidies for the support of fo reigners; its transitions, its enterprize, and alarms, sooner called fbrth fresh energies ; and after twenty-six' years of peace, instead of being, as we are, in a state of despondency, debt, and heavy taxation, we might have en joyed continued prosperity, and been materially relieved from the latter; since we had the ball in our hands, had we kept it in motion, and wisely, not relinquished its possession ; but the moral and material condition of the landlord having deteriorated, has prevented it. If the landlord had not speculated too lavishly upon war prices, and had not run into expensive and profligate habits ; but had practised common prudence and thrift, all his schemes would have been profitable and successful ; and when prices were higher than ever known, large and princely fortunes might have been secured, which were wasted in prodigality and splendour; and even the tracts of poor land which were at this time forced into tillage at great expense, by the ap plication of hihly improved husbandry, would have still continued profitable, and he might have fulfilled all his engagements : but the habits of the squires bad become altered ; in consequence of which, confiscation, or mortgage of their property occurred, and poverty has been called upon to redeem it. It should not be lost sight of In comparing the state of the morals, of poverty, and wealth, that our achievements and victories, by sea and land, were the work of the former; how often has not the Duke confessed his infirmity as a General, and his incompetency to circumstances, over which his army triumphed with ease and alacrity ; in short, the Duke would have been no great man, but for his great army; not in numbers, which were always defective, but in soul and love of country; of which in him we have ever had but faint signs, and his Paisley sympathies will not aid to establish, or improve his humanity. Upon this theme, of the noble instances of honest, in domitable union and devotion by a nation hemmed in by a rapacious enemy ; burying its intestine feuds; and which won every battle, as if by the blow of a single arm; upon such de votion in defence and love of country, we could dwell with enthusiasm and admiration ; if that country was not Great Britain. The morality of poverty is largely drawn upon, and has always been faithfully answered. How must we speak of the morality of wealth ? Let us throw a veil over it, lest poverty should be corrupted by, and imitate, its baseness ; and ingenuousness be abashed. The struggles of wealth, and its miseries, are against, and produced, by the poison administered to it, through the fangs of vice, ava rice, and hypocrisy. The carrying of the Reform Bill, was a display of moral power une qualled ; nor should be forgotten the moral in fluence so recently exerted by the masses, on be half of the Dorchester labourers. But it is not desirable that political causes and conditions of society, should often exist, to provoke such moral demonstrations; for, however tempered, they in this country have always hitherto been, by wis dom and judgment, they are to be regarded as convulsions of the body politic, over which 'its healthful functions may lose their proper in fluence. Thus the moral position of the landlord, and of the Corn-laws, in relation to poverty and la bour, and to the Poor-law Amendment Act, has been disregarded; but their fiscal and financial relations, have been freely dis cussed, and their relations to the rent owner, and the merchant carefully appreciated. The boon given by the Poor-law Amendment Act to the landlords, to the palpable robbery of poverty, is perhaps larger than the Corn-laws, and comes under this category. The outcry, servilely raised against the Poor- law, can have no merit, unless accompanied by a demand thr freedom of commerce, and trade in corn, which would enunciate a moral, politic, and well understood principle ; and if asserted, would neutralize, if not remove, many of its errors. Poverty would quickly discern that it has the greatest interest in the repeal of the Corn-laws, and restrictions on commerce, which would enlarge the sources of productive power, and give him more employment ; and would treat with contempt the senseless outcry raised against the New Poor-law, which, although no doubt effected in bad faith to him, is, and was always intended, when properly enforced, to he a law for his benefit and protection ; and if it gives privileges to the landlord, of which he has been robbed, it is in consequence of a tacit compact, well understood on his part, to con cede these points; and which, notwithstanding he cruelly and ironically rails against the New Poor-law, with the audacity of plunder and dishonesty, he refuses with a grasp ing and monopolizing hold. In this, the land lord is treacherous, and his aim can only be to create a servile social war; since he enjoys an inevitable monopoly in the very nature of his property in land, without artificial laws, or pro tection ; as from its island boundary, in extent it becomes less and less, as population extends more and more.—Your obedient servant, A. RUSSIA. UKASE TO THE HOLIEST GOVERNING SYNOD. The Empress Catherine 11., of sacred memory, our most beloved grandmother, following the wise pre cepts laid down by our immortal ancestor the Empe ror Peter the Great, the founder of the present great ness of the empire intrusted by God to our rule, ob serving in the very beginning of her reign how little it behoved the clergy to be weaned by worldly cares from their real and holy duties, and, considering that the management of extensive estates could only prove a burden to them, whilst it produced no advantage to their serfs, ordered such estates to be transferred to the direction and government of the Exchequer, pro viding at the same time for the maintenance of the clergy regular salaries, according to a scale sanctioned by supreme authority. In the sequel, the western pro vinces have been re-annexed to our empire by the just dispensation of Divine Providence, in which, owing to peculiar temporary circumstances and insuperable ne cessity, the estates and immoveable property were left in the hands of the clergy until further inquiry into the sub ject. Now, however, when all vestiges of a foreign and temporary rule in that part of the country have totally disappeared, when those provinces have been again so closely and so inseparably reunited to Russia that, in the year just closed, it has been found of unavoida ble urgency to introduce laws uniform with these of the rest of our dominions ; when, lastly, merciful God, conferring innumerable blessings on our dear father land, has given us means to consolidate it and advance it to a higher stage of good government, it has ap peared meet to us to emancipate the clergy also in the western governments from avocations inconsistent with its calling. Having, therefore, decided upon carry ing into effect in those provinces enactments intro duced for this purpose in other divisions of our empire by our great ancestors, we have, at the same time, de termined to give a fresh pfoof of our anxiety for the amelioration of the condition of the clergy. Where fore, having appointed additional provisions over and above the income of church property now to be transferred to the administration of the Exchequer, as well for the maintenance of the clergy as for the better organisation of establishments belonging to it, in order to raise and to secure to them an advanta geous existence for the future, we order as follOws : L All immoveable property heretofore belonging to the orthodox clergy in the western provinces shall henceforth be transferred, and remain under the ma nagement and direction of the Ministry of the Crown Landi, with the exeption of the property in the hands of the proper parochial secular clergy, which does not enter into the present composition of cathedral chapters. g. Scales and regulations for dioceses, cathedral chapters, and monasteries, are to be drawn up ac cording to the wants of persons and establishments, and with due regard to the dignity of the first and the rank of the second, and submitted to our approbation. Hence, as the actual inoome from the church pro ptrty in the western division of our empire has been found insufficient for an easy and respectable mainte nance of the ohm sins its establishments, we appoint foi that purpose additional provisions, which shall be ,:: - )lained by corresponding orders given to our Mini ster of ILC Exchequer a n d th e C rown L an d s.

Wester n Times. The following is an abridgment of the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners Bill, adapted by Lord Stanley, for the amendment and en l argemen t o f the existing Passengers Act : The number of passengers to be carried in each vessel is limited. Vessels proceeding from the United Kingdom or the Channel Islands to any place out of Europe, not being within the Aleditteranean sea, shall carry no more than one passenger for every two tons of the registered tonnage. In the lower deck or platform, ten clear superficial feet are to be allowed for each passenger ; or if the ship pass within the tropics, the voyage not being computed at more than twelve weeks, twelve feet are to be allowed ; at more than twelve weeks, fifteen feet. One passenger may be carried under the poop for every thirty passengers. The master incurs a penalty of 5/. for every passenger in excess of the proper number. Every ship must have a lower deck or platform above, or level with the top of the lower beams, properly secured to them, and of an inch and a half in thickness. There must be a height of at least six feet between the upper and lower decks. There must be only two tiers of berths, the lower six inches from the deck. A supply of not less than three quarts of water must be issued to each passenger per day, and seven pounds of bread-stuff per week ; of the latter, one third may consist of potatoes, reckoned at the rate of five pounds for one of bread-stuffs. No ship to be cleared out without having on board sufficient supplies of provisions and water. The length of voyages is to be computed according to the following rule :—to North America, 10 weeks ; West Indies, 10 weeks ; Central or South America, 12 weeks ; West coast of Africa, 12 weeks ; Cape of Good Hope, or the Falkland Islands, 15 weeks ; Mauritius, 18 weeks ; Western Australia, 20 weeks ; other Australian Colonies, 22 weeks ; New Zealand, 24 weeks. Two children under 14 years of age to be reckoned as one adult passenger. The emigration agent at the port which the vessel leaves, or, in the absence of such a functionary, the officers of the customs are to ex amine the provisions and water, as to quantity and quality, and the allotment of space; and to ascertain that there is an ample supply of water and stores for the crew of the ship or other persons on board, over and above what is provided for the passengers. The Commissioners of Customs or the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners to have the power to detain vessels until rendered sea-worthy. Every ship of 150, and under 250 tons must carry two boats ; under 500 tons three boats ; more than that four boats. Masters to carry two copies of the act, open to the perusal of passengers. With every ship carrying 100 passengers a medical practitioner is to sail ; in every ship carrying a smaller number medicines of sufficient amount and of a proper kind to be carried. Spirits are not to be laden on board by way of stores, except for the master and crew and cabin pas sengers, or as medical comforts ; but the sale of spirits to any passenger during the voyage i 3 absolutely pro hibited, under a penalty of not less than 501. nor more than 2001. Written receipts for passage-money to any place in North America are to be given to steerage passengers, according to a given form, under a penalty of 21. Passage-brokers contracting for passages to North America are to be licensed by justices in the petty or quarter sessions of their district ; and will incur a penalty of 101. for every passage contracted without a licence. In case vessels are detained beyond the appointed day of departure, lodgings and rations are to be pro vided for each passenger, or he is to be allowed Is. a day as subsistence money. At the close of the voyage, persons are to be entitled to remain on board for 48 hours after the arrival in port, and are to be provided for in the same manner as during the voyage ; " unless in the ulterior prosecution of her voyage, any such ship shall quit any such port or place within the said period of 48 hours." The 25th clause enumerates many of the foregoing regulations, to the breach of which special penalties have not been affixed, and enforces them under a pe nalty of not less than Si. nor more than 501. • essels not carrying more than twenty passengers, and ships in the service of the Admiralty or East India Company, ships of war, or transports, are ex empted from the operation of the Act. The Act is extended to the carriage of passen gers by sea from any of the British West Indies (in whith term are included the British 'West India islands, the Bahamas, and British Guiana), from Malta, British possessions on the west coast of Africa, and from Mauritius, to any other place whatsoever ; and with certain exceptions, the Act is extended to voyages from the West Indies of less than three weeks' but not less than three days' duration, except as relates to the construction or thickness of the lower deck, the height between decks, the surgeon and me dicine chests, and the maintenance of passengers for 48 hours. Foreign vessels engaged in any voyages specified in the Act are to be subject to its provisions. The term " passengers" in the Act is not held to include cabin-passengers. BRITISH MUSEUM. By the returns of the number of persons admitted to visit the British Museum from 1840 to 1841, to view the general collections, there appear to have been :319,374, exhibiting an increase of 53,366 since the change in 1838, but still being a lesser number by 63,773 visitors than under the old system. VISITORS TO THE READING - ROOM.—The number of these in 1841, for the purpose of study and research, was 69,303, showing an increase of 67,353 persons in this department since 1810. The average number of books daily used by the public, is computed at 1,086 ; the average daily number of readers being 238, it ap pears that each of them consults nearly five printed books. MINERALOGIC AL DEPARTM ENT.—The Osseous remains from Dr. Mantell's collection, and' other relics of osteology have greatly enriched this branch. ZOOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.—Upwards of 16,238 specimens have been added this last year ; among those highly scarce and valuable, are the Australian collection of Mr. Gould ; and specimens of reptiles and shells from Port Essington, the Himalaya, and Colombia River. BOTANICAL BRANCII.—The considerable number of 7,485 species of plants, chiefly from the Asiatic and African regions have been added this last year. ANTIQUITIES AND COINS.--- The Greek coins of Mr. Burgon and Mr. C. R. Stewart, with others from a treasure found in Cuerdale, Lancashire, give a new addition to this department of 8,100 coins. PRINTS AND DRAWINGS.—In this branch have been added 451 prints after Sharp, Reynolds, and Lawrence, with a great number of additional copies after the old masters. The new silver cup of Niello work is also a rich addition. The total re ceipts from Christmas, 1840, to Christmas, 1841, amounted to 36,3211. 2s. 3d. ; and the total expen diture, during the same' period, to 32,2431. Os. 4d., leaving a surplus in hand of 4,0781. 2s. I Id. The estimated charge from Lady-day, 1842, to Lady day, 1843, amounts to 33,110/. ; but the amount of grant required for the service of that year is only 30,3361. RAILWAY RETURNS.

His Lordship, after disposing of several lunatic petitions, pro ceeded with the further arguments in the part-heard case " In the matter of Derham," which occupied the Court the whole day. The Lord Chancellor wilt sit in this Court on Monday (thi. day), Tuesday, Wednesday, an d S atur d ay, and i n t h e House o f' Lords on Thursday and Friday. ROLLS' COURT, March 5. THE ATTO RNEY-CENEREL v. HERON. This was an information filed on behalf of a charity, which had been founded about a century ago by Lady Thorold. That lady had been possessed of a consi derable estate in Lincolnshire which she devised to certain trustees upon trust for the support of a num ber of schoolmasters. All the trustees had died, and no new ones having been appointed, it appeared that the guardians of the present Sir John Thorold, who was a minor, supposed they had a right to appoint trustees of the charity, Those trustees made certain payments for the benefit of the schoolmasters, and considered the re,t of the property as be longing to the family of th e Th oro ld s . 'I hi s appo i n t men t of stees was invalid, and the present application was to ob tain a reference to the Master to have an account against the trustees of what they had received, and to have new trustees appointed. \lr. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of the charity. Mr. WHITE, Who appeared for the defendants, stated that the present Sir John Thorold had attained his majority, and could of course appoint trustees of himself. Lord LANGDALE decreed a reference to the Master, ac cording to the prayer of the bill, with liberty to Sir J. Tho rold to re-appoint, with the approbation of the 31aster, the same persons, or any others, as trustees. ATTORNEY- GENERAL V. VINCENT. The information in this cause was filed against the defendant, as owner of certain property in Newbury, and the object of it was to have the lease of a house there in his possession cancelled. The corporation of Newbury, who were the plaintiffs, being trustees of the house in question, the rents of which were ap plicable to the service of the poor, granted in the year 1755 a lease of it for the term of 999 years to a man named Budd, at a arly rent of 151., he covenanting to lay out 1501. on it in improvements. The real intention of the lessors was to grant a term of 99 years, and the figures 999 were inserted in the lease by mistake. The defendant Vincent, in whom the house had now become vested, stated that considerable sums had been expended in the improvement of the premises by the person under whose title he now c:aimed, and refused to give up the lease. IPE3IBERTdN, who attended for the plaintiffs, stated that they proposed to let the defendant hold the lease till the year 1854, that was a period of 99 years from its date, and then that they should, get posse•sion of the premises. It was evident that by the defendant's acceding to that proposal jus tice would be done to all parties, as nothing could be more im probable than that a lease would be granted on such conditions, as those alleged, for so long a term of years. Mr. KINDERSLET, who appeared for the defendant, said he was not instructed to accept of the proposal made at the other end of the table; however, until his client could be consulted on the matter, he had no objection that the case should stand over for some time. It Has then agreed, with the concurrence of the Court, that the case should be postponed for a week. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, March 5. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLO R of ENGLAND. ) BRYDOKS V. BRANFILL. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied the Court the whole day. ( Before Vice- Chancellor BRUC E. ) No case of public importance was heard in this Court. ( Before Vice-Chancellor WIG RAM.) BULTEEL V. LORD ABINGER. In this case Counsel addressed the Court yesterday for Sir Edmund and Mr. Benjamin Currie. 'the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on behalf of the defendant, said the suit had been instituted without any expectation of ob taining a decree for specific performance. Its real object had been to force Lord Abinger to sign the contract by the threat of a suit, and by the insinuation of partial conduct towards his son. He contended that the letter of the 23d of July did not convey authority to sell to Mr. Bulteel ; it merely stated that "consider ing my connexion with the proposed purchaser ( Mr.R. Scarlett), so far as he is concerned, I shall take no steps to assist him in the purchase." The contemporaneous letters supported that view. The contract of the 30th of July was repudiated by Lord Abinger, before it was signed by the two other trustees; and Mr. Bulteel being avvar: of that fact, ought to bear the costs of the suit. Mr. SIMPEINSON and Mr. ELMSLEY were heard this morn ing on the same side. SHERIFF'S COURT, Murch 5. THE FAILURE OF THE BRIGHTON BANK. On Saturday an inquiry was directed to Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell, Mr. Commissioner Hobbs, and a special Jury, for the purpose of ascertaining in what sum the defendants were indebted to her Majesty. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having explained to the Jury the nature of the duties they were called upon to perform, an affidavit was put in evidence on the part of the Crown, which was sworn before Lord Denman by Mr. John William Ferguson. The defendant stated that he was postmaster of Bright helmstone, in the county of Sussex, and that he had paid various sums, at different times,.to Isaac Newton Wigney and Clement Wigney, of Brighthelmstone, bankers and co-part ners, for safe custody. That the monies so deposited by him in their hands had been received by him as postmaster for Brighton, on account of her Majesty's Post office revenue, for her Majesty's use, and had been unaccounted for by the said Isaac Newton Wigney and Clement Wigney; and that it was in danger of being lost in consequence of the bank having stopped payment, unless some speedy measures were adopted to recover the same. The balance due by Messrs. Wigney to the Post-office was stated to be 7071. 4s. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and the Jury, without hesitation, found that Messrs. Wigney were justly and truly indebted to her Majesty in the full amount claimed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 5 IN RE JOHN OSBORN. The insolvent was described as a horse-dealer, livery-stable keeper, and horse-agent on commission, carrying on business in Montague-place, Montague-square . His petition to be dis charged was supported by Mr. Nicholls and opposed by Mr. Cooke. In the year 18.37 he was a bankrupt, when the sum of 4,6001. appeared due by him, and the amount of the di% idend amongst his creditors was only 10d. in the pound; in two years afterwards he passed through thi s C ourt , ow i ng t h e sum of 2,7631. 11s. to his creditors, and now he made his second ap plication to be discharged, with a schedule showing debts due by him to the amount of upwards of 2,0001., and due to him of 1,500/., of which latter only 11/. was good. Mr. CooKE said he appeared on behalf of two gentlemen named Stevens and Robertson, who had intrusted the insolvent with two horses to sell for them, and for which they never re ceived one penny. Mr. Stevens sent a valuable horse on the condition that he should receive the sum for which it was sold seven days after the sale was effected, but although his groom made repeated applications he wa s pn t o ff f rom d ay to d ay, unt i l at length a writ was issued when the insolvent offered 201., which was refused. In the case of Mr. Robertson a horse had been sent on the recommendation of the Honourable Mr. Murray to be sold by the i nso l vent, and was b ought as a charger for 100 guineas, not one penny of which was given to the owner. The name of the Hon. Mr. Murray was in. serted in the schedule, although he had nothing to do with the transaction, further than recommending Mr. Robertson to the insolvent.. Several noblemen and other gentlemen had in trusted him with horses for sale on commission, upon which small sums of money had been advanced previous to sale by a person named Dent, w h o carr i ed on business as a linen-draper, in Crawford-street, on condition of being repaid upon the day of sale, with interest, at the rate o f i s . for every pound advanced. Although many of those !gentlemen were treated in the same manner as his (Mr. Cooke's) clients, a fe e li ng of delicacy prevented them appearing in opposition. However, his clients considered they would not be doing their duty towards the public if they didnot come forward and expose a system which they con sidered to be little better than swindling, although they were well aware thst by doing so they htd not the slightest chance of getting any portion of their debt. Mr. Dent was examined at great length by Mr. COOKE, and stated that he had known insolvent fur many years, during which he had advanced him various sums of money, and a balance of 5511. 10s. now remained due. He had been in the habit of advancing sums of money to gentlemen who sent horses to the insolvent's stables to be sold on commission, and received Is. for every pound so l ent. When the insolvent be came a bankruptin the year 1837, he (witness) was appointed assignee under the fiat. There were a great many transactions between them and several bills which came into his (insolvent's) hands in the way of busines , , were given to witness. A mongst these were one of Lieut.-Colonel Copeland's, another of Lord Huntingtower's, and a judgment which had been entered against Colonel Tint. Of Lord Huntingtower's bill he had never received a fraction, nor had he any expectation of ever being paid now. Air.. CooKE said the insolvent's conduct amounted, so far as his clients was concerned, to a direct breach of trust. He had fraudulently applied the money to his own purposes, which he had received on their account, and he also concealed certain books connected with his Lusiness. He trusted, therefore, that the Court would consider it a case which required its strongest animadversion. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said there could be no douLt but the insolvent had withheld books connected with his trade from his creditors, and he should therefore adjourn the further hearing of the case generally, with four days' notice to the creditors. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. James Linchbury, described as a banker's clerk, was in dicted for stealing a 101. bank note, the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., Lombard-street, bankers, his employers. It appeared that the prisoner had been employed as a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Banbury and Co., for upwards of twenty years, and his father had been in the same house before him. The case was one of an extremely intri cate and tedious nature. It was the duty of the prisoner to enter all cheques paid into the bank in a book, called the Goldsmiths' receivable book. On the 2d of February last, the books were valued up, and it was found that there was a deficiency in the accounts of the prisoner. Two clerks in the office examined carefully the books, and while they were doing so, the prisoner went to his desk and re turned with a 30/. note, observing that he had, by mistake, placed the note in the desk. Some few days afterwards he was interrogated by two of the partners in the firm, when he ad mitted having taken a 101. note. It appeared that the conduct of the prisoner, who had been for a considerable period involved in debt, had caused some uneasiness to the firm on several oc casions, and his employers had most kindly relieved him from his embarrassments. Although the indictment charged the prisoner with stealing 101. only, yet as much as 140/. had been missed on the day the discovery of the robbery was made. Mr. PHILLIPS, who defended the prisoner, complained at the conclusion of the case that new evidence had been brought of the prisoner as he otherwise forward against the prisoner, which wthheicghooddidelnaortacatpepreoafrtihne t p l r ie iso de n p e o r. - nt s o i e t s i g :i co n s s ,s ; wo h c f o on n hib s yo eq rien u tt e eo n s t tt l ih y me , odhneeyfe(rc defence .

Robert Owen was eharg,d ith obtaining the sum of 71. 11s. from Sir. Levinson, under false pretences. The prosecutor stated that, on the sth of October last year, the prisoner went to him, and stated that he had a claim upon the Portuguese Government for upwards of 401., and at the same time showed him a paper, being an acknowledgment that the claim referred to had been accepted by the Portuguese Commission. He represented himself as being William \Varney, ant stated that he bad been a soldier in the 4th .company of Portuguese Marines, and added that he wished to dispose of his claim. After some further inquiries witness gave the prisoner 71. 65., for which he gave him a receipt, and 'subsequently a power of att orney, ena bli ng the witness to act for the prisoner ; to both of these deeds the prisoner signed his name " William Warney." Witness subsequently gave the prisoner 55., but not feeling secure in making these advances, he went to the Com missioner and inquired about the award ; to his surprise the Commissioner informed him that William blarney had died some time ago at Kensington, and of course the claim was worth nothing. Thursday n i g ht a b oy went to w i tness ' s house, and said . he came from William blarney to know if his award Were out yet ; witness replied that the award was out, and told the boy to tell the prisoner to call in the morning for Ilse money; he then sent his young man to follow the boy ; whilst following the boy the young man met the prisoner and gave him in charge. By Mr. JARDINE—The paper from the Commission, ac knowledging that the claim had been accepted was, of course, given to Wm. Warney, who is dead. The prisoner entered into a long statement, and urged that lie had purchased the claim from Wm. Warney, to whom he gave IL for it, and received a power of attorney from \Varney to act for him. Having heard that a man named Leslie, of Castle street, Leicester-square, bought these claims,he went to him, and he said he would purchase it. Leslie then went to Mr. Black's, the agent, in whose hands the claim was, and saw it, and got the acknowledgment pap er f rom hi m (the prisoner). Leslie kept him drinking all day, and in the evening took him to Mr. Levinson, who, having asked him one or two questions, gave him the money, and told h m that he must give him a power of attorney, which he did. By Mr. JARDINE—I do net recollect what \the questions were that Mr. Levinson asked me, having been ilrinking with Leslie all day, and being at the time intoxicated. In answer to other questions from Mr. Jardine, the prose cutor stated that he did not observe the prisoner to be intoxi cated, when he first called upon him. Leslie was also a claim ant upon the Portuguese Government, but as he bad miscota ducted himself he could not now be found. The prisoner further stated that he ha-1 been a servant in the employ of Dr. Ganning, of Walworth, for four years, who would no doubt give him a character. Mr. JARDINE—This case must be further inquired into. (To the prisoner)—l cannot help being struck with your account of the matter, and I don't want to send you to prison, but, at the same time, I must be sure that you will appear here to answer the charge. If you can find one householder who will give bail to the amount of 20/. or two in 101. each, for your appearan ce h ere thi s d ay week, I shall discharge you. The prisoner was then remanded to enable him to find bail. A strange-looking man, of very dark complexion, with a rough moustache on the upper lip, was charged with creating a disturbance at a public-house. The prosecutor stated that about half-past 12 on Thursday night he cleared his house of his customers, of whom the pri soner was one ; he had not been long out, however, when he returned, and made a most furious disturbance at the door, which he kicked and battered most lustily. To prevent a re currence of such conduct he gave the prisoner in charge. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, said, "Sare, sare, me go to de beeblic oos in de morning, me ab de glass of bare, me go to de beeblic oos in de eebnin, me take glass bare, in de beeblic oos, me full my peep tabac in de beeblic oos. 1 want make wa-ter ; de man say, ' You go dat way ;' de vomans say, ' You go toder way.' I go out, make wa-ter, and leave de glass bare, and de peep tabac, in de beeblic oos. De moment I go out make wa-ter, dey shut de *bile oos,:and no let me in. I say, Gib it to me my glass bare—gib it to me my peep tabac.' Dey no gib it me ; me knock and kick de door—dam debit, kick him down—and me say 'gin, ' Gib it me my glass, gib it me my peep.' Dat all, Sare." The complainant stated that he did not desire to punish the prisoner, but he was a great nuisance, and all he wanted was to have less of his company. Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner)--By your kicking at the door in this violent manner, you have made yourself liable to be fined 405., or to suffer fourteen days' imprisonment; but if you will promise not to trouble this gentleman any more, and not to go to his house at all, I shall discharge yotr. Prisoner, with a grin—" No, no, Sare, I no go no more." He was then discharged. A stout burly-looking man who gave his name William Maycroft,was charged with ill-treating his wife. The wife, a miserable puny little woman stated, that the prisoner tore her to pieces, and that she went in danger of her life from him ; " this morning," said the woman, "he took hold of me, dashed me on the bed, and tore me to pieces and kicked me." Mrs. Noah, a ledger in the house where the priioner and his 4‘ worser half" reside, stated, that the complainant was most brutally treated. On Friday the prisoner had been buying a bed stead; and a young man brought it home; he fancied that the young man had taken some improper liberties with his wife, end he gaze her a beating; the complainant, in consequence, slept with the witness on Friday, and the prisoner, this morn ing, imagining that she had not been at home all night, se verely ill-used her. The prisoner, who appeared much excited, and laboured under a considerable infirmity of speech, when called on for his defence, delivered himself in nearly the following terms P-p-please y-your V-v-v-vor-ship, thi-is woo-man—l•M vos ma-a-ried to her ei-eight months a-go-go ; she goes out and st-to-to-to-tops all ni-ni-night often and often. La-a-ast night I b-b-b-b-bought a b-b-bedstead, and hired a p-p-person to car-ry it home, which, when I cum home, they vos a k-k-kiss ing each other, th-they vos. Then Id-don't know how it wa-was ; I was t-t-t-tipsy ; sh-sh-sh-she went out and st-topped a-a-all night. We-we-well, this m-m-morning ab-b-b-out a h-our ago sh-sh-she cu-cu-hum in and bu-busted in my door. I e-cern-n-n-ly did p-push her, and she hallows out m-m-m-ur urder. This a-ain't th-th-the fust time I've c-c-cotched her in b-b-bed with a m-han ' and if I say any-th-thi n k t o - to - to her, sh-sh-she b-blaguards me and u-uses s-s-sich lan-gu-gage as n-never vos hear. I-1.1 vork a-ard for m-m-my living, and as d-d-done for th-the last f-f-four-te-te-teen years, b-but th this vo-o-o-man got m-ma-ried to m-me,she'did,and ever si-si-since sh-she's done no-nothink b- but a-a. b-b-buse me, for w-wot or f-for w-Ns hy don't know.

(This eloquent piece of oratory, which we think Will scarcely find its parallel in the English language, occupied about halt an-hour in the delivery, during the whole of which time the Court was convulsed with laughter, in which the Bench at times could scarcely refrain from joining. Though a most painful sight to witness a large bulky man, gasping and writhing to bring out a few words of p'ain English, the ridiculous con. tortions made use of, and the strange effect produced from this "hesitation of speech," as it has been called, really are such as to make the best bred man forget the duties of decorum, and laugh in the speaker's face. ) Mr. TWYFORD ordered the prisoner to find bail, himself in 201., and two householders in 101. each, to keep the peace towards his wife and the whole of her Majesty's subjects. MARLBORO UGH- S 2 BEET. Henry Chester, a young man, wearing a fashionable M cin tosh, was charged with picking the pocket of a working man, named Joseph Webb. It appeared that last night, between seven and eight o'clock, the prosecutor, who was exceedingly intoxicated, was drinking with the prisoner, who was a stranger to him, at the bar of the tap of the White Bear Tavern, in Piccadilly, and the landlord saw the prisoner slip his hand into the prosecutor's jacket pocket, and take out some silver, part of which he let f.. 11 on the floor. He . was immediately taken into custody, and money corresponding in amount (12s. 6d. ) to what the prosecutor missed, was found on him. The prisoner positively denied the charge altogether, and as serted that he was a person in a respectable station of life ; but as he was recognised as one of the swell mob, he was commit ted to take his trial .for the robbery at the ensuing Westmin ster Sessions. UNION-HALL. William Dando, a man in the employ of Mr. Searle, the boat-builder of Stangate, was charged with stealing a quantity of clothes, the property of the Oxford and Cambridge Wherry Clubs. Mr. Searle stated that the gentlemen composing the above Clubs kept the dresses they wore when on the river in hi pren,ises. The prisoner, who had been for a great number of years in his employ, had the care of the property, and of late a great quantity of it had been missed, and upon inquiry traced to the shops of pawnbrokers, pledged by the prisoner. The Magistrate was about to commit the prisoner for trial, but at the intercession of the complainant, he summarily con victed him, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 51. besides the value of the property. In default of payment the prisoner was committed for two months. THAMES POLICE. Robert Kell, master of the ship St. Helena, from New castle to London, appeared to a summons issued at the instance of the City Solicitor, charging him with having attempted to evade the City dues, by discharging his cargo of coals without having first paid the dues thereon. It appeared from the evidence that on the 27th of February the defendant brought his vessel into the Bow Creek, and dis charged her cargo, which was consigned to the Thames Plate glass Company, without making the entry at the Customs re quired by law. The practice had been so often repeated that the City authorities were determined, if possible, to put a stop to it. The amount of duty on the car go (320 tons) was up wards of 201. A notice of the recently adopted method of collecting the dues had ben extensively circulated and adver tised in the London and Newcastle papers. The defendant was engaged in the Newcastle trade. The defendant said that he was perfectly ignorant of the ne cessity of paying dues before discharging. Ever since he had been master of a vessel, the dues had always been paid by the Company by whom he was employed. Mr. BALLANTINE said that the notice was very distinct. It was formerly the practice for the factor to pay the dues, and the master had then only to discharge his cargo and go back. But within a few months past, it had been found necessary to make an alteration, notice of which had been given to every trader. If the master was so ignorant as he professed to be, he must be taught by paying for it out of his own pocket. He should, therefore, order that the defendant do pay a fine of W. INDIAN NAMES.—WeIsh names are somewhat re nowned for their " break-jaw" nature; but they sink into perfeet insignificance in that respect when compared with those in some of the Indian appeal causes, now ready for hearing before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The following are specimens : —Baboo Janekee Doss v. Brijrutton Doss ; Baboo Deep Narain v. Lal Chutterput Singh; Sheikh Imdad Ali v. Mussumat Kootby Begum; Jeerajee and ethers v. Trimbukjee and Jago-jee. SUDDEN DEATH.—OD Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner, and a respntable jury, at the Holland Arms Tavern, adjoining Holland-house, Ken sington, on vie w o f th e b o d y of Mr. William Johnson, aged 74 years, whose death occurred under the following sudden cir cumstances : —From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased gentleman, who was highly respected by all that knew him, was the tenant of Holland Farm, Kensington, and steward to the late Lord Holland, and was during his Lord ship's life d great favourite and constant companion of his Lordship, having been at the same college together in youth. On the morning of his death he left his house in his gig at ten o'clock to go to the Hon. Colonel Fox, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, and was at that time perfectly well and in excellent spirits, am' as he returned home down the Addi:on road, he was met by a friend, of whom, instead of giving the usual familiar recognition, he took no notice. On reaching home he was, is he said, very sick, and vomited. He was then put to bed, when he said, " Thank God," but , became almost Immediately insensible, and died in an hour. Verdict—" Na• tural Death." DZSTRUCTIV FIRE.—A fire broke out on Friday morning at six o'clock, on the extensivepremiseit of Mr, WEry tailor, Newington Causeway, which it short tams gained a fearful ascendency, Ti, engines from the Southwark-bridge road and Waterloo-road, followed by the West of England, &c. irere soon on the spot, but nntwithatlinding there was a gag(' aiipply Qt water, the prvmises, with the contents, were com pletely destroyed, while the prckperty in the adjoining houses mis uch d4maged by wat er . Th e d amage altogether will amount to near 5,009/. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL A Court was held at the instance of the Lord Mayor, on on Saturday, in co nsequence o f th e d e ath o f Mr. W(.)od thorpe, the Town-clerk. His LORDSHIP stated that he had called together the members in order that a person might be appointed pro tern. to perform the duties of the office. Mr. WIRE, after expressing much regret at the death of the highly respectable and valuable Town-clerk, than whom a more efficient officer could nowhere be found, said that he had three resolutions to submit to the Court. The first was, that the Remembrancer, not being a candidate for the office, should be appointed to per limn the duties until an election should take place. The second was, that it be referred to the Committee, Offi cers, and Clerk to examine and report relative to the duties and emoluments of the office, and also to report whether any and what alterations should take place in r4gard to the fees, &c. And the third was, that the Committee should inquire whether the office should not be made one of annual election. It was, he said, well known that the office of Town-clerk of the City of London was held by grant, and the holder could not be removed, and there had been occasions in which Town-clerks so situated had defied the powers of the corporations with which they had been connected. It was his object to alter so objec tionable a principle, and he, therefore, wished, that if the Committee were of opinion that the alteration would be legal and practicable, a bill should be brought in to effect the obiect.—(Hear, hear.) . The first resolution, appointing Mr. Tyrrell, the Re membrancer, to act until the Town-clerk should be elected, was then unanimously agreed to. ' Mr. NORRIS moved the second resolution. Mr. ANDERTON rose to move an amendment, or rather an addition, to the resolution, to the effect that it would be advisable to unite the two offices of Town-clerk and City Solicitor. It was his anxious wish, that places under the Corporation, should be consolidated as much as possible. They had now a legal staff of considerrble strength and magnitude, and it was desirable, when places became vacant, and could be properly attended to by existing officers, the additional duties should be per formed by those whose business partook of the nature of that of the Town-clerk. He found, upon refer ence to the Report of the Municipal Commissioners, that the office of City Solicitor was comparatively of recent origin, and that the duties of that office, of the office of Clerk of the Peace, and several other offices, had been originally performed by the Town-clerk. Now, if the duties of City Solicitor and of Town-clerk could be per formed as well by one person as by two, he did not see what rational objection could be made to the union of those two offices. That a great reduction of the expense would result from the course he suggested, there could be no doubt. However, he merely proposed it as a mat ter of inquiry before the Committee.—(Hear.) Mr. HOLT seconded Mr. Anderton's amendment. Sir P. LAURIE was decidedly against the plan of unit ing the two offices. As a Magistrate he often found it necessary to consult the City Solicitor on legal matters of importance. How could the Town-clerk attend to ad vise him as City Solicitor at the Mansion-house or Guild hall, when the City Solicitor was attending as Town• clerk elsewhere ? A MEMBER asked how were the duties performed of late years ? Sir PETER LAURIE said that the active duties of the Town-clerk had been performed of late years by Mr. Firth. Mr. B. TAYLOR said that if the matter was submmitted to the Committee they would very soon dispose of it. It had been !mind necessary to separate the offices of Comptroller of the Bridge-house estates from that of City Solicitor, and after the failure of the experiment of joining those two situations, he could not see how a more important place could be with any foundation or reason joined to that of City Solicitor. Mr. LAWRENCE denied that the experiment of join ing the two offices alluded to had failed. The City Soli citor of that day was unable to perform the duties in con sequence of the deplorable state of his health. The corporation were bound to do all they could to add office to office upon the occurrence of vacancies. The late Town clerk was a man of extraordinary talents, but he had done little or nothing its the office of late years. The whole of the business had been done by other parties. Now the City Solicitor would in consequence of the near approach of the termination of the labours of the London-bridge Committee, soon have a good deal of time upon his hands, and that time could not be better employed than in the performance of the duties of Town -cl erk. Mr. WIRE had no objection to have the question re ferred to the Committee. It happened, he said, that the duties of Town-clerk and City Solicitor in many respects were closely assimilated. They were both expected to attend Committees, and meetings of Courts o f Ald ermen and Common Councilmen, and Conservancy, so that there 'could be no objection so far to merge the offices in one person. Under alll the circumstances he could have no objection to Mr. Anderton's addition or amendment. After a few words from Mr. COPE and Mr. PEWTRERS, Mr, WILLIAMS said it appeared from all that had been said, that both Town-clerk and City Solicitor had little or nothing to do. The motion, with Mr. Anderton's addition, was then carried by a large majority. Mr. HARRIS then moved the last resolution—viz., that it also be referred to the Committee to consider a re port on the legality and power of the Court to elect a Town-clerk annually, and if decided in the affirmative, to prepare a bill accordingly.—Agreed to. OFF ICE OF TOWN CLERK. On Saturday a numerous meeting of the Common Council was held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, to con sider what steps it would be desirable to take in refer cute to the vacant office of Town-clerk. J. T. Norris, Esq., was called to the Chair. Mr. NORRIS said that the attendance of gentlemen at that meeting was not to be considered as pledging them to the support of any particular individual who might become a candidate. The meeting was convened rather for the purpose of deliberation than action. He invited every gentleman to the free expression of his opinion in order that steps might be taken to fill this most important office in the most efficient manner.(Hear.) Mr. WIRE considered it was the duty of Members of the Corporation to weigh well the importance of the si tuation vacant by the decease of the able and excellent gentleman who had recently' filled it, before they pledged themselves to support any individual. For his own part he had no hesitation in saying that, however respectable other gentlemen might be who had offered themselves as candidates, he was of opinion that the present City Solicitor, was the person pre-eminently qualified for the appointment.—(Hear.) Mr. Deputy STEVENS felt it right to observe that he did not entirely approve of this meeting. He was of opinion that the Court of Common Council ought first to refer the question to a Committee, to fix the duties and the emoluments, and when they made a report if would be time enough to look out for a person to fill it. It was highly probable that some alterations might be made in the amount of salary, and if that were the case, the City Solicitor might suffer from the change. That officer was universally respected in the place he filled to the entire satisfaction of every Member of the Court, and merely because the office of Town-clerk was more elevated in rank than that which he already held, he ;bought it no sufficient reason for the change. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON being called upon said he was obliged by the consider a ti on which his friend Stevens had expressed for the welfare of himself and family, but he thought that as 47 summers had passed over his head, he might be safely trusted not to sacrifice the pecuniaryinterest of his family in a romantic pursuit of honorary distinction.—(Hear, hear.) He was free to admit that he coveted the high distinction of filling the highest office in the greatest corporation in the world, but he did so only upon the presumption that it could be honourably obtained, and usefully applied.-- (Hear, hear.)_ He felt highly flattered by the testimony borne to the manner in which he had conducted him self in the office he already tilled.—(Hear.) He hoped, however, that he might say without offence that some portion of those labours which had obtained for him such complimentary notice had rather reference to the functions of Town-clerk than City Solicitor.—(Hear.) He had cheerfully rendered every assistance in his power during the illness of his friend the late Town-clerk, and whoever might be elected he should be proud to continue to make himself useful to the Corporation in any capa city. If, however, the Court thought he could be usefully placed in a higher situation than that which he now held, it was a legitimate object of ambition.—(Hear.) He re quested the gentlemen present to act upon the principle recommended by their Chairman, and by Mr. Stevens, and to withhold their promises of support until they could ascertain with certainty what would be the future posi tion of the-office.—(Hear.) He considered himself, like the gentlemen present, unpledged as to the future ; but there was one thing upon which every one might rely, that, if he should announce himself as a candidate, as re quested by his friends, he should consider himself bound in honour to continue to the end, and not to retire in favour of any other gentleman who might solicit their support.—(Hear.) Mr. JOHNSON and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the members then retired to the Council Chamber. ADVENTURES OF SIR HENRY MORGAN THE BUC CANEER, BY THE AUTHOR OF " RATTLIN THE REEFER."-- This new work, from Mr. Howard's able and fertile pen, has the advantage of a most happily chosen subject, combining the intense interest of historical truth with the popular attractions of fiction ; no wonder, therefore, that it should he, as it un-, doubtedly is, the best production of its taler ted writer. Its hero was, unquestionably, one .pf the most extraordinary per sons that ever lived in any country, and his adventures as extra ordinary as extraordinary as the character of which they were the fruit. Sir Henry Morgan the Buccaneer, is a personage so litile known to the ordinary readers of English history that this book will not produce its due effect, unless it be expressly borne in mind that every leading incident related in it is strictly true. Some of these incidents are, indeed, of such a nature as to be much too strange and wonderful for reception in a work of fiction, without excing the incredulu s odi, unless this were premised. But, being true, as a record of human action, cha racter, and passion, they are invaluable._ Naval and Military Gazette. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY. —The Vindictive, 50, Cap tain J. T. Nicolas, with the flag of Rear-Admiral I.;ir Thomas Cochrane, was taken out of harbour yeshrilay 'afternoon, by the Driver and Styx steam-ships, lashed alongside of her, The steamers were until they got an`. l . took her along very well Gut to the Spit, where, as it was blowing c.'resh, there was a heavy swell, so that the wetifnermost steamer (the Driver) was compelled to east as she was injuring both her own and the Vindictive's side. No sooner had she cast off than the wind and tide took the Vindictive on the bow and slewed her round, so that she was nearly on shore on the Spit, and only prevented such a catas trophe by letting' go h er anc h or, the remaining steam - s h i p, the Styx, b e i ng unable to contril her. Many persons who witnessed the occurrence, believed she was on shore, and a re. port to that efiect was rapidly circulated ane believed through out the town, a n d caused a great sensation. Fortunately, how ever, this was not the case, and having got sail upon her, , she slipped he r ca bl e, and ran for the most eastern part of Spit head, where she is now at anchor AFFAIR OF TUNIS. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 27.—1 n furnishing you with a liberal and authentic copy of the subjoined note of th e Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sublime Porte to the Baron de Bourqueney, the French Minister Plenipoten tiary, I hope that I afford you the means of at on ce cleari ng up t h e mystery which has enveloped the late r negotiati ons w i t h respect to Tunis, and in explanat i on °' which so many erroneous and mutilated versions ,have been already given to the public. The whole dr ift of the Bar on d e B our queney's communication to t he Porte upon thi s su bj ect em b raced two propositions, tend . .ing both of them to establish the same point—viz, the inexpediency at the present moment of any change ° n the part of the Port e i n the administration of the Pac ha ' lit of Tunis. Firstly, b ecause i n the unsettle d sta te ° the Regency of Algiers, the removal from office of M b ' met Pacha, the present Governor of Tunis, in whose I°- n9urable intentions the French Government reposed W e i . greatest confidence, and th e appo i ntment i n h i s place ° a functionary whose views- and dispositions were T 1• known to it, and who mi g ht possibly embroil the re.nt: tions of the two c ou nt r i es , cou ld not b e regarde d b u t wiP t i great alarm and jealousy by the French Cabinet ; a n secondly, because the d u ti es i ncum b ent on the Govern°, of Tunis, and the tribute due to the Porte, would her, forward receive for th e i r f u lfil ment and punctual lititni tion an additional sec ur ity i n th e guarantee of the French Government ; and that, f or th ese reasons, the disnu' s,, .- of Achmet Pacha was equally uncalled for and inadinl 9 o ' sible. Convin c ed by th ese very powerful arguments ft )to say nothing of the p resence of six French ships of '/it line at Smyrna) th e S ecretary f or F ore i gn Affa i rs , Serl ,e Effendi, spared no pai ns t o reassure hi s Exce ll enc y, t',, f French Minister, with res p ect to t h e pac i f i c intentionssfulli the Sublime Porte, and to receive with the most gnat` t° acknowledgments on it s b e h a lf , t h e lib eral offer m ade i f it by the French C a bi net , o f exact i ng the d ue Pe n formance of the duties incumbent on his vassnl• b. would undoubtedly consid er it se lf f ortunate, c ould it ° , tain a similar assur ance an d secur i ty for the revel, and administration of every P ac h a li c o f the emp i re . A these assurances of Sa r i m Eff en di Were at fi rst conveYv; de vive voix, the Baron de Bourqueney, in order to hs, r , some record of th e resu l t o f t h e several conferenc es m had held with the Minister, was, at his particulst request, furnished with this following note : •of TRANSLATION FROM TH E TURK I SH OF THE ANSWER 4,4 THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE PCil i TO A NOTE RELATIVE TO THE REC-EKCY or TURD ", The report of a determination of the Sublime r°,-, tl with reference to a change in the actual form U N the 'Pt: vernment of Tunis, having reached the French billet, I was desired, in our last conference, by your Excel/ e l i; to give you a full and explicit explanation on this s QCs Cn 4l ject.
