SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The light let in by Sir George Clerk's admission, upon the villainy directed against the lives of our brave sea men, iri the manufacture of their contract bread, seems to have recalled the public attention to a subject, from which, indeed, it ought not to have so widely wandered as it has done, .viz. the frauds which are, we fear, very generally practised in the preparation of that important aliment. Had the work of Ace= upon the adulterations of food been fairly dealt With by the author—that is to say, if he had not, by his own personal conduct, destroyed the mo ral authority and influence of his charges against others, whether individuals or bodies of tradesmen, it is possible that he might have succeeded in fixing the mind of the Legislature itself upon the invention and application of safeguards for the community, with a view to the reduc tion, at least, of the quantity of poison administered to the people of England instead of the wholesome food, if the total banishment of it could not be effected. A little pamphlet " On the Adulteration of_Bread and Biscuits" has been addressed to Mr. Peel, the writer of which treads in the steps of Mr. Accum. He appears to be a plain, sensible, and zealous kind of man. His charges involve the three classes of tradesmen who advance the raw ma terial through its several stages, until it is turned out in the shape of a 41b. loaf. With this author the miller, mealman, and baker, are nearly equal delinquents ; and it is curious to observe how the use of one foreign ingredient makes others necessary to the imposing ap pearance of the fabricated loaf; inasmuch as though pure flour needs nothing more than yeast to ferment and raise it, when, on the other hand, whiting, bone-ashes, pipe-clay, blues, sharps, tailings, &c. are resorted to, a further addition of alum is required, to act as mortar, and bind the multifarious rubbish, or it would fall to pieces before it was half baked. Of the three orders of criminals above enumerated, it is clear that the baker stands foremost in point of mischief. Every baker can learn, without difficulty, the use of such tests as would decide the exact character of the flour which he purchases; and if he were to return upon the hands of his rnealman each sack that he discovered to have undergone adulteration since the supposed basis of it left the farm on which it grew, the market for poison would cease without further uoable, and the public served with such bread as was con sumed by our father. Whatever general objections may be felt against extending the jurisdiction of the excise laws, we should be far from joining in any outcry against render ing bread, as well as beer, amenable in all its elements •, , incidents to the watchful scrutiny of the officers of »se. Is the health of the nation of less importance than its income ? Is a fraud against the revenue to be made ; in all cases, a valid reason for subjecting every class ol citizens to the visitation of the excise 2—and is the ac vity of that vigorous and useful engine to be spared against the wholesale murderers of the people, on any vague and hollow pretext, that the excise is an " unconstitutional" establishment. We agree with the author of the little work before us, that every baker's premises in the king dom should be made liable, every day or night in the year, to be entered and searched, in virtue of excise war rants, and, we may add, that the existence of any articles in the hands of a baker, capable of being used in the adul teration of bread, ought to be made a high misdemeanour by Aet of Parliament, and inexorably punished. Is it not monstrous that forgery should subject a man to be hanged, and the sale of slow poison instead of sound food, to nothing more severe than the payment of a trifling sum of money ? Government, in the mean time, ought to look well to the execution of the contracts for provisioning our troops in Portugal; and we urgently call upon them once more to publish the names of those contractors who were guilty of poisoning 6,000 sacks of our poor sailors' victuals. If this necessary measure be not taken, Mini sters are parties to all the villanies which may hereafter be practised by those.wicked men, against the great body of their fellow-subjects—since it is certain that if fraud be only checked on one side, it will soon find vent on some other.—Times. There was a disposition in the House of Commons last night, to take up the subject of Emigration, on such a scale as alone could render it a remedy for the evil of a population so redundant as ours. Colonel Torrens spoke of transporting a million of people from Ireland to Canada. It is unquestionably true, as he stated, that a removal of numbers must precede every plan for the improvement of that country. The effect of English Capitalists going to Ireland would be, to deprive a great part of the agricul tural population of all employment whatever; for improve ment supposes always an economy of labour. The lower men are sunk in the social scale, the less are they dispos ed to abstain from marriage. To animals, such as those of whom Mr. Brownlow remarked, " Dr. Doyle, in his evidence, had stated, that the people were compelled to congregate for the sake of animal heat, and the multipli cation of the human species naturally followed," it is in , vain to address prudential considerations. Before a man can listen to the voice of prudence, there must be beneath the deep in which he is a " lower deep" still. But it would be worse than useless to enter on emigration, with out being prepared to carry it through on a larger scale, and without coupling with it measures for securing the country against the recurrence of the evils from which it has freed itself at such an enormous sacrifice. Twenty two millions are a large sum in the present embarrassed state of the country. It is true, that there is no com parison between the benefit of expending millions in this way, and expending them in warring against Jacohiniam and for the preservation of our holy Religion. But still twenty-two millions are a large sum. All this money would not merely be thrown away, but add to the evil, by the burr den so much debt would impose on us, if the emigration were to be conducted by driblets, and not instantly on a great scale, and if measures of restraint and regulation of an enlightened and comprehensive character, were not to be consentaneously adopted. To send away a few thou sands at a time would be merely giving, a stimulus to po pulation. Mr. Hodges observect,that'the parishes had no benefit from removing their poor to America at a great ex pence, as the moment. a cott age was empty young couples were called in marriage. But it will be said, would you impose restraints on liberty ? Those who use t h e word liberty, es applied to civilised life, are either very ignorant or very evil intentioned. Wherever we turn in civili ze d life, we are met by restraints on our liberty; and the more civilized the society, the more numerous the restraints. If we use the words good Government, we shall then speak an intelligible language. Now, such restraints as are ne cessary to the well-being of society, that is, to good Go vernment, most be submitted to. The sort of liberty which would expose a whole nation to the danger of being re duced to the level of the beings who " congregate for animal heat," whereby multiplication follows, is a liberty which cannot be contemplated without dismay. Of this sort of liberty a striking instance was told us a week or two ago, by an intelligent gentleman. Accompanyi ng a medic a l friend in his rounds through S outhwark, he en entered one of those wretched abodes in which the Irish crowd together. The man had received an injury, and was unable to work. Two children were sprawling about, and twc large pi g s were also inmates of the apartment.— " Why do you not sell the pigs to a , :sist you?" was a question put to the wife. " Och, Sir," said she, " the pigs belong to the landlord : we get the room at less rent by taking in the pigs Ll 4 lodgers." But, as Mr. Baring observed, "the parti cu l ar Plans form a subject for after consideration."—Morning Chronicle. The indisposition of Mr. Canning, especially at this important period, is a serious calamity to the country, and is rendered doubly so by the awe i n which his talents are held by his colleagues, who appear to acknowledge that they can do no one thing without him. That Mr. Canning is the brightest star in the present political fir mament must be readily admitted; but that the rest of the Ministry are mere satellites, attendant upon and mov ing round his orb, is what we were not aware that they would all so freely admit to be the case. On the subject of the Corn Laws this point seems, however, un d en i ably established; for though it is one in no way connected with - - Mr. Canning's department—and though there would be 1 a kindness, one would think, in- easing him at this moment from an additional weight of business not pe culiarly his own, his colleagues in the House of Com mons seem one and all unwilling or unable to undertake a task in which, we suppose, it is expected that the Right Honourable Gentleman's well known eloquence will at once astound the eountry gentlemen, puzzle the econo mists, and silence, if not satisfy, the manufacturing inte rests. Now, much as we admire Mr. Canning's talents (an admiration not the less earnest or sincere for the free dom with which we treat his measures), we must say that there is an indecision and vacillation about this, amounting almost to puerility. Why this important subject has been delayed till now, no person in or out of Parlia ment has ever been able to inform us. Why the wonder ful panacea of Ministers, if it were then concocted, should not have been laid before the last Parliament, we never could comprehend. Why it was not opened to the' new Parliament, as soon as it met in November, is still more unaccountable. And why, if it is to consist of a mere set of declaratory Resolutions, which are to st an d over f or future discus s i on , i t s h ou ld b e delayed by Mr. Canning'i illness, we still less see the policy or necessity of. The Right Hon. Gentleman's name must have an almost talis manic influence in the state, if a question of mere domestic policy (for such the Corn Question really is) can b e brought forward by no one else. Most ardently do we wish that the Right Honourable Gentleman's health may be so restored as to enable him to do this on the day now appointed—but we as earnestly deprecate any further .de lay ; and trust, therefore, that the poverty of men of talent , , is not so great , b ut t h a t some ot h er person may De found competent to undertake the task, should Mr. Canning still be unable to encounter it. A discreet manager has ; what is called in theatrical phrase, a double for every part, and there can be no reason that we can imagine, why the poli tical stage should not be furnished with a similar stock of performers. The evident object of Ministers seems, how ever, to have been to gain time, and to stave off a discus sion on which no great deal of unanimity or clear under standing can be said to prevail. The period of the Assizes being that in which the principal landowners 'assemble in their different counties, it is intended, no doubt, that the proposed Resolutions shall be printed, and stand over for discussion, till the return of County Members from serving upon their respective Grand Juries. We had almost hoped that this course would have been avoided ; and that the subject having been already discussed so largely, Mini sters would have drawn on the preyious stores of informa tion for a measure which would have been decisive in its character, and have saved the public from a new war of words, on a topic upon which the respective combatants appear to have already said all, and much more than all, that can be said to any useful purpose.—Morning Herald. A Contemporary, who seldom strays beyond the pre cincts of a police-office, has ventured to take' a peep' into the higher Courts of Justice; and, with its usual facility of blundering - or inventing ; has madb its own mistakes a ground of imputation against the whole Bar. It supposes that a complaint has been lately made on the part of the Equity Bar, against permitti ng C ounse l, w h o pract i se i n the Court f King's Bench, to sign cases sent out of Chan cery for the opinion of the former Court; and it expa tiates at large, on the meanness and degradation of such paltry jealousies and bickerings between two classes of the same profession. We concur in the sentiment, that dis sension between the . Equity and Common Law Bar, would lower both;- but no such dissension has ever existed nor is there at this moment, any trace or symptom of so unworthy a spirit. The circumstances which have led our Contemporary into error, are altogether different from whas he has supposed them to be. A case has been di rected by the late Master of the Rolls for the opinion of the COurt of King's Bench. Being prepared, settled, and signed, by the Counsel for the different parties in the cause, it was transmitted by the Solicitor to the proper officer of the Court of King's Bench. That Officer, falling, from some misapprehension, into a notion which never entered into the head of any man before, refused to receive it be cause the Counsel, whose names were subscribed to it, were not King's Bench Counsel. This refusal occasioned some less of time to the parties ; and, rather than lose more, their Solicitor complied with the whim of the func tionary, and paid fresh fees for the signature of other Counsel. The conduct of the officer was without the sanction of any Judge of the Court, and proceeded upon an idea which would have been deemed quite as absurd on the Common Law side of Westminster Hall as on the Equity side. But an absurd practice must be checked at the outset ; and Mr. Sugden, therefore, most properly brought the matter b e f ore th e ' Lord Chancellor. The Equity Bar claimed no exclusive privilege; they did not pretend to say, that a case directed from Chancery should not be signed by King's Bench Counsel—they merely said, that the signature of any Counsel, whom the client chose to employ, should be sufficient, whether that Coun sel practised at the one Bar or the other.—ln fact, in this, as in most other matters connected with the etiquette and the regulations of the Bar it was the rights of th e s uit or , and not of the .Couns e l, which were concerned. Where a case is directed out of Chancery, that case will, almost of necessity, be prepared and settled by the Counsel who have been engaged in the suit : for they alone are likely to be acquainted with the rights of the diffe rent parties, and the state of the questions between them. The parties, therefore cannot dispense with their assist ance, and if a practice were permitted to grow up, which required the case to be signed by other Counsel, than those who prepared it, the effect would be, to burden the suitor with the payment of a new set of fees. We ob serve, also, that some reproach has been thrown upon the Bar, for complaining of a want of proper accommodations in the New Courts at Westminster. We know not what reason they have to murmur; but this we know, that So licitors and suitors complain loudly of the inconveniences to which they are subjected. A Solicitor must see his Equity Counsel almost constantly. For that purpose, he must waste a considerable portion of the forenoon in trudg ing down to Westminster Hall; and when he arrives there and finds him at leisure, there is not a single room belonging to the Court of Chancery, in which the Coun sel, the Solicitor, and the suitor, can meet for the purpose of consultation or communication. In the attempts which are at present going on, for the improvement of justice, it would be well to give some attention to the localities of our Courts; and we cannot help thinking that the change would he for the better; if they were placed in a central situation, instead of being removed to the very extremity of the Metropolis. The distance of Westminster Hall from the places in which the greater number of professional men, and of suitors, carry on their avocations, produces not a little delay, expence, and inconvenience, in the minor details of legal business.—New Times. oY A L INSTlTUTloN.—Yesterday, Mr. Webster gave a Lecture upon the Steam Engine, and, by means of diagrams and some very admirable models,_explained the nature and prin ciples of the engines of Captain Savery and Mr. Newcomen. The Lecture Room was crowded, and the company appeared to be highly gratified with the clearness and perspicuity of Mr. Webster's explanations. The Duke of Somerset has succeeded the late Earl of Chichester, as President of the Institution. We lately mentioned, with much satisfaction, that Mr. Secretary Peel had caused the Clerks of the Peace to be written to, on the subject of fees claimed from parties who were tried and acquitted. A case notably in point occurred on Wed nesday. It was a petty assault case, and the matter of complaint was so trifling, that the Chairman gave it as his opinion, that it did not amount to an assault. Upon this, Mr. Clarkson, who appeared as Counsel for the defendant, instead of arguing that no assault had been committed, to the surprise of most present, begged the Jury to find his client guilty, because he felt satis fied that the Court would inflict merely a nominal fine of is. in case of conviction; and if his client should be acquitted, he would have to pay one pound, Se"" shillings, and eightpence, fees." A strange anomaly this, that the advo ca t e pa id to assist a pri soner, should in. the exercise of a sound discretion, seek to procure his client's conviction, from a knowledge that, if declared inno cent, more than twenty times the punishment must fall on him, which the Court would award if he were proved to be guilty.— Morning Paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fs's. 15 ROGERS v. JONES. - This was an artionby the plaintiff, a draper residing at Dover, to recover a compensation in 'damages from the defendant, the Marshal of the King's Bench prison, for suffering the eA•ape of a prisoner who bad been, committed to his custody at the suit of the plaintiff. Madame Henrietta St. Cossary, residing at Calais, had been in the habit of dealing largely with the plaintiff. The _plaintiff be coming apprehensive that he should not be paid, in June, 1 825, caused her to be arrested at Dover for a balance of an account amounting to P 74/. After remaining in Dover gaol till the sth of July, the plaintiff procured a writ of habeas corpus, by which she was removed to the King's Bench prison, from whence she shortly after escaped to France. An admission of the debt by the plaintiff having been proved, which was objected to by the counsel for the defendants as inadmissable against a third person, -for the defendant it was contended, that there was no sufficient" proof of the debt; and that the plaintiff having neglected to ob tain judgment against Madame St. Cessary in the local Court at Dover, which was held every week, as the prisoner had been re moved by his means to the custody of the defendant, there was reason to suppose that it had been contemplated :that a better chance of payment might be obtained by the possibility of her escape, than by her confinement in Dover gaol, where such an event was impossible, and the defendant could not be rendered liable. The LORD CHIEF JusTtcv. left it to the Jury to say whether, under the circumstances, the plaintiff would, by the confinement of his debtor, have been more likely to have received the payment of his debt. The plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, but it was for the Jury to determine what loss he bad sustained in conse quence of the escape..--Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1741. HICKS V. JONES. This was a similar action against the defendant f o r the escape also of M a d ame S t . Cossary. ^ Evidence having been produced of her having been arrested at The same time by the plaintiff for the sum of 1501., principally for lace with which he had furnished het. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, only question for the con sideration of the Jury was, what damages the plaintiff had sus tained. He also had neglected to obtain judgment against his debtor in the Court of Dover, which he might have done during her confinement there from the sth of June to the sth of July. The Jury should ask themselves seriously whether, if she had not escaped, they could believe that the money would have been forthcoming. The question of damages was one peculiarly for their consideration.—Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 150/. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that as the principal charges in the plaintiff's bill were for lace supplied to this French milliner, he supposed it was re-sold and brought hack to this country for French lace. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-JAN. 15. WILLIAM HENRY NEALE V. SIR THOMAS TURTON, BART. AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant TAM' stated that this was an action upon two bills of exchange, the one for 115/., and the other for 115/. Ss., drawn by the plaintiff, dated March 6, 1826, .payable three months after date, and accepted by the defendants, who were the directors of the London Patent Steam Washing Company : there wag also a further claim of 140/. 19e., for goods sold and delivered after the date of the bills. The plaintiff was a dealer in hay and corn, and had supplied the horses of the company with those articles at their stables at Phipsbridge, in Surrey, and in John-street, Black friars ; it was for these articles that the bills had been given, but when they became due, the defendants did not pay them, and re fused to acknowledge the debt which had since been incurred. Mr. Buxton, the secretary to the company, proved that the signature to the bills was in his handwriting. Mr. Edward Neale, the brother of the plaintiff, proved the de livery of the hay, &c., by his own teams; and also proved the handwriting of the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant VAtinuaw appeared for all the defendants, with the exception of Mr. Fry, for whom Mr. Serjeant Wzenz and Mr. Moony appeared. They stated in the first place, that they would show that the plaintiff was himself a partner in the company, and being such, they contended he. could not maintain an action against the Di rectors. In the next place they would show, that the witness Edward Neale was in partnership with plaintiff, and therefore his evidence must be struck out, as he must be considered an in terested witness ; and they submitted, that the plaintiff being in partnership, could not bring an action individually, which would be for the benefit of both. The Jury returned their verdict for the plaintiff. nicmaansom V. SEAGAR. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 50/., accepted by the defendant. The hand-writing of the drawer, and of Seagar, the acceptor, were proved. For the defendant, it wa; contended that he had never accepted the bill, and that his name must have been forged. Several documents were produced bearing his sig nature, which appeared slightly different from that to the bill. - The different signatures were shown to the Jury, and the Learned Judge left it to them to say whether they believed the defendant to have actually accepted the bill; if so, their verdict would be for the plairititf.—Verdict for the plaintiff. OLD BAILEY.-FEB. 13. William Cox Johnson was indicted for stealing a mare, value 50/., the property of John Tilbury. The prisoner's case, by his own request, stood over from last session.—Our readers may re collect, that he some time since hired a horse, and had not re turned it at the time specified. That offence, by an old statute, is a capital one. The prosecutor, however, did not appear, and Mr. Phillips, who was retained by him, declined, with permission of the Court, offering any evidence in the prosecutor's absence.— The prisoner was therefore discharged. George Brown was convicted of stealing a till and some copper.. money, from John Beale, of Hoxton New-thwo.' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTER'SAL.

This was d one so instantaneously, that before he could recover himself, they rifled his pockets, and robbed him of his pocket-book, containing bank-notes and bills to the amount of 50/., and several me moranda.

The following is the piojel-de-loi (Bill) against the traffic in slaves, as amended by the Committee presented to the French Chatnlaer of Deputies on Saturday : Article I. Merchants, ship-owners, supercargoes, and all such as shall in any way embark in the traffic known by the name of the Slave Trade ; the captain or commander, and other officers of the crew ; all those who wittingly shall participate in that traffic as insurers ; shareholders, furnishers, or by any other title, save, always, such as come under the exception in Article 3, shall suffer banishment, and a fine . ; equal to the estimated value of the vessel and her cargo, in the pert whence she set out. The fine shall be levied jointly and severally from all the individuals con victed. The vessel shall be confiscated. Art. 2. The captain and officers of the crew shall be declared incapable of serving in any capacity, either in ships or vessels be longing to the King, or in those of French merchants. Art. S. The other individuals that make part of the crew shell., be subjected to the punishment of not more than five, nor less than three years' imprisonment. All those of the above described individuals shall, however, be excepted, who, within fifteen days from the arrival of the vessel, shall make a declaration before the Commissioner of Marine, or the. Magistrates of any port o f t h e kingdom, or the Gove rnor , Commandant, or any other Magis trate in any of the French islands or possessions, or to the Con suls or Commercial Agents of the King in Foreign ports, of the facts relative to the above-mentioned traffic, which shall have come to their knowledge. . . Art. 4. The convictions and sentences in cases relating to this traffic shall he inserted in the official part of the Moniteur, in the form. of extracts, containing the names of the individuals con victed, and those of the vessels and the ports whence they sailed. This insertion shall be ordered by the Courts and Tribunals ex clusive of the publication prescribed by the 36th Article of the Penal Code. Art. 5. The Penalties to be awarded under this present law are independent of those that may be pronounced conformable with the Penal Code, for other crimes and delicts which may have been committed on ship board. Art. 6. The law of the 15th April, 1819, is repealed. THE MARKETS. SOUTHALL MARKET.—Feb.

The Hospodar paid him a visit soon after his arrival, which his Excellency immediately returned. It is said he will proceed to Constantinople without delay. T JAN. 28. Letters from Corfu o f th e 28th January speak RIESTE, of a message sent by the Sultan to Ibrahim Pacha, inviting him in the most gracious terms to go to Constantinople. In Corfu they were ra ther inclined to believe that Ibrahim would return to Alexandria. VIENNA, FEB. 3. This forenoon his Excellency the Prince Von Hatzfeld, Am bassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Prussia at this Court, died after a short illness. The Prince who enjoyed general esteem in our Court, was the same whom Napoleon , iu 1806, caused to be condemned to death by a court martial, but. pardoned him on the intercession of the Princess. His consort and numerous family are inconsolable. . TRIESTE, JAN. 1. . We are still w ith out news f rom the Levant. Th e heav 3 y fall of snow during the last three or four weeks,which remained ly ing on .the ground for several days. even here, has delayed all the mails coming by land, and the thaw which has now set in will prove a new obstacle. , JAN . 1 Nothing parti cu l ar h as occurred C since Iast ONSTANTINOPLE post. • But the af fairs of Greece, according to the most recent accounts from the theatre of war, received by way of Smyrna, and which came down to the 2d of January, appear to take a turn more favourable to the wishes of the friends of the Greeks, than was to be expected after the last campaign. All Livadia, East and West Greece, are again in a complete state of insurrection. The apparent submis sion-of those provinces has ceased, all the inhabitants as far as Salona and Volo, are under arms. The Greek Captains are every where distributing arms and ammunition. The Greek Govern ' ment arrived at Egina on the 10th of November, and constituted itself the followingday. Constantine Nieomedas was appointed com mander in the town, and the protection of the national assembly was entrusted to the Ipsarioes. The Government immediately proceeded to public:business, and on the 12th (24th) of Nov. issued a decree, prohibiting all persons in arms from approaching Egina, and no individual of the army is to be allowed to appear in person. All applications and petitions from the army must be made in writing. On the 15th (27th) November, it was resolved, to sell by public auction, all the revenues of the nation for 1827; On the 17th (29th) .kovember, a decree was published, strictly prohibiting piracy. _ _ - The accounts of the military transactions in Livadia itself are very unfavourable for the Turks. On the Ist December Mustafa Bey was totally defeated by Karaiskaki at Arachova. A few days before the Turks had indeed maintained with great loss their posi tion at Dobrena, on which occasion the Greeks lost the brave General Jannacki Sultani, but after Kariskaki's victory, the Turks had been obliged to abandon that position.-- There were public rejoicings at Egina with thanksgiv ings for these events. The national assembly has declared Negropont in a state of blackade, and it is expected that a simi lar measure will be adopted with respect to Candia. The insur rection of th a t i s l an d h as lately spread to a great extent, and the Greek garriso n o f C ara b usa is a great support to the Insurgents. t e o x expected ed Na in t the.l Assembly Levant, his having op e ean arrival. non%)credd Cochranefrom Marseilles, i s again SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, FEL FROM LLOYD'S.
