SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. Baring last night alluded forcibly to a circumstance with which the public have been much occupied of late, namely, the anarchical state of the Ministry. If there were the . slightest chance of the restoratio n of Lord Liver pool to such a degree of vigour as would allow him to place himself once more at the head of affairs, the delay in naming a successor to him would be intelligible. But the faintest hope is not entertained by any one. In the mean time no one seems to trouble himself about the business of the nation. The several Ministers are either intriguing for themselves or for their friends, and of course exclu sively occupied with what to them is much more deeply interesting than public business. The King can do no wrong, and of course we do not mean to say that there is le ▪ any thing wrong in his keeping the nation without a re sponsible Ministry. But there can be no question that ta. , those who gave the very foolish advice to his Majesty, • which has led him to delay so long the exercise of his pre • rog-ative, are very much to blame, and some Member of influence ought, as Mr. Baring suggests, to endeavour to undeceive his Majesty with respect to the nature of the advice under which he has acted, and to move an Address for the nomination of a responsible Premier. A feeling of pity to Ministers would prescribe the extricating them as soon as possible from their painful state of suspension, and from the lengthened indulgence of envy and all uncha ritableness towards each other.—Morning Chronicle. We could not but admire the Lord Chancellor the other evening, in his place in the House of Lords, when a peti tion was brought up from some of the Catholics in Ireland, in which the name of the Bishop of Waterford was men tioned. The Lord Chancellor said, he knew nothing of a Bishop of Waterford other than the Protestant Bishop of Waterford. He did not acknowledge two Bishops of the same diocese. On a rejoinder being put in to his Lord ship's observations, that the King, when he was in Ireland, received the whole of the Catholic Bishops in their canoni cals, his Lordship observed, that he knew not what the King did when he was in Ireland—what was stated might 11 be true enough ; but that for his part, while he sat in that House as the King's representative, he would acknow ledge no other Bishops but those acknowledged by the law. We hare not been for a long time so well pleased - with any thing of a public nature as this ; it reminded us of the spirit of the Judge who committed Henry the Fifth to prison, when Henry was but Prince of Wales. On the same principle the Catholics might have their Archbishops of York and Canterbury, and Bishops of London, Chester, &c. Question whether, if the Catholic claims were con ceded, should we have a creation of Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of the dioceses we have named ? Because, if so, it would be rather curious, in giving an account of the speeches of the Prelacy in the House of Lords, were we to state—His Grace the Protestant Archbishop of Can terbury said so and so, against a proposition for granting a provision for the Catholic Clergy ; and his Grace the Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury said so and so in fa vour of a proposition for increasing the taxation of the country, that the Catholic Clergy might be paid fi y the State, instead of as heretofore, being paid by their own flocks. If Lord Eldon were Speaker of the House of Lords under such circumstances, his Lordship would not be a little puzzled to know how to decide between their Protestant and Catholic Graces of Canterbury. But. we do not think that the time will ever arrive when Ca tholic Prelates will sit by the side of Protestant Prelates in the House of Lords, and that John Bull will have to eontrive the means of paying an additional number of pas tors.—slforning Herald. Our readers will give us credit for having, from the first, opposed ourselves, by every means in our power, to the adoption of Mr. Canning's Portuguese Expedition. Tc ourselves this might be considered, in the outset, al most a service of danger; for such was the general enthu siasm and delusion which the Minister's eloquence threw over his project, that every one who refused to sail with - the tide, or to breast its progress, stood a chance of being run down and scuttled in the attempt. Extremes, how ever, are seldom lasting; and on this subject the good sense of the public seems to be righting itself, with even more rapidity than could have been expected. Every account which reaches us from the seat of warfare showe more clearly the complete fallacy and deception under which the public mind, and that of its most accomplished Statesman, have been misled. The reception our troops have met with in Portugal has been mortifying enough— widely different, indeed, from that which they were en titled to expect, as deliverers, among a nation burning to be free; but when the mask is still further withdrawn, and, instead of a nation burning to be free, our ancient Allies are much more inclined to hug their chains, and despite their would-be deliverers, we are lost in asto nishment at the total want of common information, which must have fallen to the lot of those who could be the egregious dupes of the most barefaced and palpable imposition which 3 as ever been practised upon the credulity of a nation. Such facts as this Portuguese affair is every day furnishing are damning proofs, unfor tunately, of that race of little minds upon which we have unfortunately fallen. Of what sort of materials must those Statesmen be formed, who can thus suffer themselves to be the dupes of a barefaced imposture; and who, in their turn, madden, as it were, the country with the fruits of their own dupery ? Unfor tunately, no party in the country is exempt from this op probrium ; for not only do the Ministers, one and all, adopt the tone and assumed facts of their leader, but the igacious, wily Opposition fall into the same snare, and join, like false hounds, in following this artificial scent. — In the mean time, the nation at large sees itself involved in an expensive contest which may he interminable; its choicest troops embarked on a project in which they can, A i yet appears, neither hope to reap honour nor fame.— Parliament, at the same time, seems ashamed and astound ed at its own credulity. Like a drunken man, who dreads in the morning to, ask the particulars of his over-night's excess, a rigid dilence seems to be observed in the quarter from which alone the views of Government can correctly be elicited. The illness of the leading Minister in each House may be some reason for this ; but much as such a double calamity is to be regretted, on all ac counts, it is not to our minds at least, a sufficient reason why the pul eic affairs should stand still, or why the Representatives of the people should, refrain from inquiring in what state this new war, the offspring of their own mistaken enthu siasm, really stands. le is a pity that Mr. Canning, hav ing so little health and strength to spare, and having such large demands upon it in his own department, should have suffered it to be drawn upon and exhausted by the Corn Jaws or the Catholics. But if he has taken those matters • for his colleagues, his colleagues in return must work f or ho ; the more so, as it becomes absolutely necessary that no ne,":.re time should be lost in letting the country k now w h a t it s real prospects and situation are on a subject of so much doubt and difficulty as that upon which its judgment has been so eYiclently misled.—lbid. The dignifesd ecclesiastics in Portugal, have either sub mitted quietly to the Constitution, or have been active promoters of its success. But, from the admonitions, which the Ministry at Lisbon have thought it necessary to issue to the Clergy, and from the measures of vigilance and precaution, which have been ordered to be adopted towards them, it appeared evident, that the lower orders of the Priests have been most active in misleading the peasantry of Tras-os-Montes, and Beira, into rebellion ; and that even in districts, where open rebellion could not be executed, they have endeavoured to create dissatisfac tion with the new order of things. We do not disguise from ourselves, that this is a circumstance which will throw great obstacles in the way of the Constitution's taking firm root in the habits and affections of the people. Ecclesiastics, who come into daily contact with the lower ...enters of the people, have always a great influence over the public mind : but, in a country like Portueal, long sun k in the deepest darkness and bigotry of Popish su perstition, they are omnipotent. Their enmity is greatly to be lamented, and the more so, that we see no means by - which their friendship can be conciliated. Their power may, indeed, be lessened; but that can only be the fruit of time, mid it is a blessing which can scarcely be expect ed, except from the indirect and gradual operation of that very Constitution, whose present existence is brought into danger by them. In Spain, the great body of the Eccle siastics were animated, from 1820 to 1823, by a most fa natical hatred of the Cortes, and they finally excited that civil war, which ended in the French invasion. But they had strong motives and inducements to incite them to that line of conduct. The Constitution of 1820 persecuted them; and it was, therefore, but natural that they should struggle against it. The Cortes stripped the clergy of their property, their dignity, and their most valuable rights; carried away by a mad spirit of innovation, they sought not to conciliate, but to insult, oppress, and degrade the Church. The general tenor of the administration of the Cortes was one of despo tism and extravagance, and of that despotism and extra vagance the Ecclesiastics were more especially the victims. Was it wonderful, then, that they should turn round upon the Government which sought to oppress and injure them But, in Portugal, the clergy have had no excuse of this kind. The new Constitution has left the Church invio late : it has touched neither its property nor its dignity ; on the contrary, it has elevated the Prelates, by the political power with which it has clothed them, and the participa tion in the Legislature which it has conferred upon them. Accordingly, the higher Ecclesiastics have, many of them, shown considerable zeal for the new system, and the head of the Portuguese Church has recommended it strenuously to the favour of all who are subject to his spiritual autho rity. But, the example and the recommendations of Bishops and Archbishops, are disregarded by the Friars and the rabble of Priests. They see, or fancy they see, that their own personal power, founded on the ignorance and degradation of the people, depends on the restoration and perpetuation of the ancient despotism ; and this renders there blind to the direct accession of useful and legitimate influence, which it opens to their order. In every country it is difficult to give solidity to a new form of government; still more difficult is it to erect a systeal of freedom; but to establish a free constitution among a people who are under the dominion of a Catholic priesthood, seems to ap proach to an impossibility.-- -Vew Time:. MEETING OF BRITISH CATHOLICS. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Sir Joins BURKE next addressed the Meeting, congratulating I it on the present posture of Catholic affairs, which he observed held out a prospect of a speedy and triumphant issue. Mr. FRENCH then rose, and addressed the Meeting at great length. He contended that the prospect of their affairs called fur hold and decisive measures. He went at great length into the speech of the Master of the Rolls, and maintained that all his charges were false and malignant, and that his (Sir J. Copley's) hostility to the Catholics was founded in views of personal ambi tion. Adverting to the established church in Ireland, he con tended, that the temporalities of that Church were the true cause of hostility to the Catholics, and added, in the course of his remarks, that the rich livings of that church were reserved for the younger sons of English nobility, for spendthrifts and gansbiers, and young Jocelins, who might be sent over.—(Very considerable disappro bation was manifested by the assembly at the expression of this opinion ; and it was with great difficulty that Mr. French could again obtain a hearing. The remainder of his speech was made up of an attack on Sir John Copley, and a defence of the Jesuits.) Mr. A. DAWSON, M. P. addressed the Meeting, and congratu lated them on their firmness and good temper, exhorting them to continue in a course which must eventually be successful. The second resolution was then put and carric.l. Mr. HELPS and another Gentleman strongly animadverted on the indecent allusions of Mr. French. The Hon. E. PETRE begged, on the part of the British Ca tholics, to disclaim any participation by them in the foul and dis gusting allusions of Mr. French.----(Loud cheers.) The Rev. Dr. CoLnnts also warmly protested against the ex pressions which that gentleman had used. Mr. C. Butler, Mr. Canning (of Foxcote,) Mr. Rolfe, Mr. Grady, Mr. Blount, and Mr. T. Murphy, severally addressed the Meeting in proposing seriatim the following resolutions, which were separately put and carried, and all of which, except the fal lowing one, are to be found in our paper of yesterday : REsoLvEn.--That this Meeting, viewing with regret and in dignation the unfair means used by several of the clergy of the Established Church to crowd the tables of both Houses of Parlia ment with petitions, calling upon the Legislature to continue in force those penal statutes which unjustly restrain the inalienable right of every man to freedom of conscience, and of every British subject to civil liberty, and having likewise observed the increased acrimony and intolerance of their opposition on our lately bringing cefore Parliament the grievances of the Catholic people of this kingdom, and especially the bitterness and hatred exhibited in their own acts and petitions in the same respect, do solemnly protest against such conduct as uncharitable and anti-Christian on their part, and as leading to a renewal of those fanatical and reli gious excesses which prevailed in the worst periods of England's and Ireland's history—which set all law of God and man at de fiance, and eventually upturned the foundations of civil and reli gious society, by bringing a monarch to the scaffold, abolishing the hierarchy, and annihilating the real liberties of the people in giving way to licentiousOess. The Duke of Norfolk having left the chair, Lord Stourton was called thereto ; after which thanks were voted to his Grace ; and the Meeting, which continued crowded to the last, separated at half-pest seven o'clock. AMHERST TOWN. A new city, intended to bear the above name, has been planned, and is probably by this time in a forward state in the province of Martaban, ceded to the British Govern ment by the late Treaty of Peace with the Emperor of Ava. The local advantages of the new settlement are in disputable ; placed upon the frontiers of the two great Empires of Siam and Ava, Amherst Town will probably be the point to which the oppressed inhabitants of both countries will naturally look for shelter, and the emigra tions which have already taken place will, doubtless, be found the prelude to others of much greater magnitude. — The climate also is represented as extremely salubrious, so much so that during the late war, the sick troops upon being sent from Rangoon to Martahan quickly recovered their health and vigour. The harbour is spacious and secure, the soil good, but the water from the springs is all impregnated with a strong chalybeate flavour. The Saluen river opens an inland navigation with the Burmese territo ries; and the Gain and Atran, a direct intercourse with the Siamese dominions, and thence with Yunan, in China. " Under these circumstances," says a Correspondent of the Calcutta Government Gazette, " is there any thing more wanting than security for life and property, justice and moderation in the fiscal assessments, and a free and convenient market, to ensure the prosperity of a country so peculiarly favoured by nature? A considerable part of the European and Chinese town has already been be spoken. By the last accounts sent down by the commis sioner, buoys had been laid down so as to make the har bour practicable without a pilot ; cantonments for 1000 men had been constructed, some houses built by the Chinese, and a good bazaar formed." A very novel, but outrageously indecent occurrence took place on Thursday in the streets of Calton. A destitute young man, an Irishman, died there en Monday, and an uncle offered the use of his parlour for the reception of the company who should attend on his funeral obsequies. A coffin was provided, and 12s. 6d. collected to defray expences ; but when the people met, the uncle was drunk, and wcAl not permit the body to be removed. Some present thought it incum bent on them to insist upon the corpse being delivered up, and accordingly took it by force. The infuriated uncle raised a great disturbance, and followed the procession, pelting them with stones. Those who carried the coffin were worst off, and were obliged to run. This gave fresh courage to the barbarous pursuer, wllo chased them through several streets, swearing and crying in a most appalling manner. The crowd called out on the occasion was immense. At last sergeant Leckie appeared, who took the fellow into custody, and the body was put into the grave without further interruption. The object of the wretch appeared from the answer which he gave the officer to a question which was put to him on the way to the of fice, if he intended to sell the body to the anatomists?—when he replied, " Have I not a right to make as much of it as I can ?" He was ordered to pay a severe fine, on pain of being sent to Bridewell,— Glasgow free Press. LENT ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY). THE WAKEFIELD'S CASE. LANCASTER, SUNDAY EVENING, MARCH IS. The trial of the indictments against Mr. Edward G. Wakefield and William Wakefield being peremptorily fixed for Thursday next, this town row displays a continual excitement and bustle ; and, as upon a former occasion, every description of accommoda tion is greedily sought for. The prosecutor (Mr. Turner) and his family have not yet arrived, and, according to the arrangements already made, will not arrive here until Wednesday evening. Miss Turner (the interesting subject of this important inquiry) has suf fered much from the agitation which the close approach of a trial, in which she must take a leading part, might be supposed to cause upon the feelings of a young lady of delicate constitution. The family are at Shrigley Hall, Cheshire, as also are the Miss Daulby's, of Liverpool, the ladies under whose care Miss Turner was when the alleged abduction took place. Accommodation has been provided very extensively for the Witnesses for the prosecu tion, the principal of which are Mr. Newton, Mr. Humphttee, and Mr. Sutton, Magistrates for Cheshire ; Misa Daulby, Miss Turner, Wm. Turner, Esq., Robt. Turner, Esq., Henry Critch ley, Esq., and Mr. Grimsditch, of Macclesfield, the Attorney for the prosecution. This gentleman is a very eminent and highly respectable Solicitor, and has been here all the Assizee, giving in structions to Counsel, and, during the week, it is said, consulta tions have been held on the subject of the evidence and preliminary matters connected with the trial. The Counsel retained for the prosecution are Mr. Sergeant Cross, Mr. Brougham, Mr. John Williams, and Mr. £tarkie. For the defendants, Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Parke, Mr. Coltman, and Mr. Pattison. None of the defendants' witnesses have yet appeared, although I accommodations have been very extensively provided for them. The Wakefields have arrived to-day, and Dr. Davies has been Isere all the week. The far-famed Gretna Parson was expected Ito-day by the Carlisle coach ; but the curiosity of many, who met ) the' coach with the hope of seeing him, was disappointed. Although many conjectures as to the line intended to be taken in conducting this prosecution have been rumoured here, and in deed every where, yet they all appear decidedly opposed to what is likely to occur. A most absurd story was circulated a few days ago that the defendants would, as a question of right, be entitled to a trial of a point of law, wherein Mr. Turner, by a somewhat paradoxical conclusion, to be sure, would be compelled to stand defendant, and be exposed to the risk of having his charge totally abandoned, and rendered uneognizable by law. This point of law has, it is said, its origin in necessity, and, by touching ths admissibility of Miss Turner's evidence, destroys the whole effect of the Statute of William and Mary, under which this indictment is framed. Whoever imagined that Audi a doctrine as this would destrw; an indictment framed under a Statute of the Laws of Eng land, is greatly mistaken, and must have been informed upon it , by persons most incompetent to give advice upon the subject. Certain it is, that any thin. - at Common Law comes under the de nomination of a particular t .tattite, either as a public or private wrong; and this indictment not only charges Messrs. Wakefield with a misdemeanour and fraudulent abduction, hut with " con spiring to carry off one Ellen Turner, spinster and heiress, for the sake of her lucre, against the peace, &c." Therefore, the charges against the defendants, thus simplified, cannot, it is ad mitted, be affected by any objection to the jurisdiction or the array, because, if any offence has been at all committed, it can only be of the denomination described, and the Sittings at Nisi Prius have full power to adjudicate upon any charge or charges of this kind. The only question which can be left is the legality of the marriage, and that appears to be already settled. The young lady, it is known, consented to the marriage, upon the representa tions made to her, and signed an instrument, which was " to certify to all concerned" that she was married, and this point of the case will give rise to an immensity of legal objections of a new and peculiar kind. The next point of the case will be the ab duction, viz. does the offence come within the denomination of a fraudulent abduction, for the purposes stated in the indictment? Of course it is not for us to say whether it does or does not, as that will be decided after a long argument, mature deliberation, and the consummate skill and learning of the Judges of the Cir cuit. Upon the subject of abduction the laws of our country fur nish various authorities and many learned opinions. It should be understood that the indictment about to be tried has no re ference to the capital offence whatsoever, and is not under or within the meaning of the statutes 7th Chas. 2, and 39th Ells. A few days will decide the business altogether, and until then, as to what may he the result, must be entirely a matter of conjec ture and speculation. EXECUTIONS.-(THIS DAY.) At a few minutes before eight o'clock this morning the four in dividuals (one having been respited), whose lives a Jury of their country had adjudged forfeited to their offended laws, were ushered into the press-room, preparatory to their final separation from the world. William Davies, aged 26, convicted of robbing his master, Captain Knox, was the first who entered. He advanced with a firm, quiet, demeanour, and seemed most perfectly resigned to the horrors of his fate. His mind appeared absorbed in devotion, and his countenance, which was pale and ghastly, formed arpetfect contrast to his appearance on his trial, and bore witness to the internal agony that appeared to have shook his whole frame. He was a well made young man, rather above the middle size, and seemed to possess a deep sense of his situation. He bowed as he came in, held out his hands to be bound, and seated himself on the bench without uttering a word. James Wingfield, aged 25, was the next brought in. Our readers may, perhaps, recollect that he was convicted of violat ing tae person of Sarah Weatherby, a child aged 12 years, in a field near Harrow. He was a small man, about five feet in height, dressed as a farmer's servant, and presented his hands to be bound before he reached the attendants, remarking, that it was almost unnecessary, as he was quite resigned. At this moment he exhibited nearly the same appearance of vacancy as on his trial, which would almost iead the spectator to be lieve that he hardly possessed intellect enough to distin guish right from wrong. His crime, however, bad been clearly proved against him, and the most humane exer tions had been made by Mr. Sheriff `Winchester and several other gentlemen to discover any fact that might tend to invalidate the evidence, or palliate the aggravation of his guilt. lie thanked the Sheriffs for their kind interference, and Mr. Wontner for his humane treatment, as did indeed all the criminals before they left the room. The next was Robert Young, aged 34. This man was convicted on indisputable evidence of a burglary in the house of Mt. Burnell, at Feltham Hill. By the implements found in his residence, and the finished dexterity with which the premises were entered, he was believed to have been a practised burglar, and no hopes of mercy were held out to him. He now entered the room in an apparent state of tremor, yet still possesising the same stern and ,r7rewhat savage immovability of countenance as on his trial and condemnation, lie was dressed as a labourer, and preserved the same sullen silence nearly all the time of the awful ceremony. While this prisoner was being bound, Wingfield complained of the tightness of the cord which bound his wrists, and it was im mediately loosened. The rent anal last was Royal Keats, aged 31, for sheep-steal ing. Having a contracted leg, he walked with a crutch, and seemed perfectly resigned. This prisoner's bands were in conse quence not bound till he entered the soup-room adjoining the scaffold. Every thing being now-in readiness, the sad procession moved, at a solemn pace, to the last scene. The stern warning of the prison bell struck in upon the funeral service, and seemed to paralyse the unfortunate men. Wingfield wept aloud, and all present were deeply affected. Being arrived in the last room, Keats's hands were pinioned, and after the other prisoners had taken their stations on the fatal drop, he was assisted up the stairs. There he"was supported by his crutch during a few moments ofprayer, and after it had been withdrawn, he remained standing steadily on one leg, till the drop falling, closed for ever, the light of these unfortunate men. Wingfield was slightly convulsed, but the others seemed to die without a struggle. The crowd was unusually great, and chewed the usual want of feeling, by their disorderly be haviour. RESPITE OF DANIEL DAVIS. - - - This young man, it will be recollected , was convicted of rob bing a post-office letter of a 101. and a 51. batik note. Though the evidence was sufficiently conclusive to warrant a verdict against the prisoner, vet, there remained some doubtful points in his case. Every act of his former life was strictly inquired into, and the reply was sufficiently favourable to induce the Home Secre tary to represent the case to his Majesty. The result was, he was considered an object for the Royal clemency, and was respited during his Majesty's pleasure. The duty then devolved upon Mr. Sheriff Winchester, who had been indefatigable in his exer tions to discover any circumstance of alleviation, to convey the intelligence yesterday to the u nfortunate young man. The worthy Sheriff found him in his cell surrounded by his mother and thirteen brothers and sisters, in a state of the deepest agony. His arrival produced an excitation a lm ost amounting to phrenzy . —They were s um moned to an adjoining room, and after re ceiving a cautious intimation that there was a ray of hope, their excess of jov could with difficulty be restrained : and on the wretched criminal himself the effect was most severe; he had been prepared for death, and could p e rhaps have met it with mor e firmness than so unexpected a return as it were to life. He remained in a complete stupor for some time, but gradually recovered his self-possession, and expressed the most lively emotions of joy and gratitude. His family, we believe, are respectable. His father took to his bed on the day of his apprehension, and had not left it previous to last Saturday, when he quitted it to bid a last adieu to his ill-fated son. He returned to it immediately, and is now dangerously ill. The good character given to the prisoner on his trial, and on which ground the jury recommended him to mercy, was found on the most minute inquiry, to have been unexceptionable up to his apprehension.

As the SPORTING SEASON is now fast approaching, it is eur intention to giTe a full and particular account of the Rscas as they APPROACII and TERMINATE ; we shall, therefore, be obliged to any of our Readers for information respecting either the TURF or the RING.] LIVERPOOL RACES.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a brother of Daniel Davis, the unfortunate man convicted of stealing money from letters at the Post-office, came before the Lord MAYOR, and requested his Lordship to summons several persons to depose as to the facts contained in an affidavit, which, after reciting the names of seve ral deponents, men employed as twopenny postmen, set forth that " each speaking for himself, maketh oath, that he was not always asked when he received the letters of the Post-office clerk, whether the letters for which be signed receipts were his, were directed to persons in his walk, nor until the last seven weeks examined the direction of the letters with the receipts, as entered and signed." The Lord MA - con expressed his regret that he had no power to td the applicant. The applicant then thanked his Lordship for his attention, and left the Court.

BOW-STREET.—Sanit!el Brawn, the driver of one of the Kentish-town stages, was charged by Mr. Thomas Dobson, of No. 6, Camden Cottages, Camden-town, who also holds chambers in Lyon's-Inn, with a violent assault on his person. The defendant admitted the assault, but stated that the provo vocation he received from the complainant was of the most pro voking description. The complaint was then dismissed. QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday Dr. J. Borthwick Gil christ, of No. 11, Clarges-street, Piccadilly, appeared at this office, before D. W. GRFGORIE, Esq. in consequence of a sum mons having been obtained against him by George Barrow, the driver of the hackney coach, No. 752, for refusing to pay him his legal fare. Mr. GaEooatE said, that the coachman was entitled to his fare, but he imagined that the gentleman had been misled, and he should not allow him for his time. Dr. Gilchrist then paid Is. and costs 4s. 6d. UNION-BALL. —A few days ago, it will be recollected, an individual named Maskali was charged at this office with refus ing to maintain his wife, an old woman of eighty, Whose property he dissipated in less than twelve months after their marriage, and then turned her out of his house. On the occasion in question, the Magistrate decided that the defendant should either allow his wife es. a week, or be committed to Brixton; he chose the former, and OR handing over the irst week's allowance to the old lady, he emphatically exclaimed, " I hope this will be the last you will receive of me." To which she replied, " You are a base man, you have spent my property in riot and extrava gance, and although I am older in years, I am not in constitu tion, and will live to see you put into your grave." It appears that the old woman's prediction has been verified, for in six days subsequent to the scene at this office, Alaskan died of a complaint brought on by dissipation. LONDON MARKETS.
