SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Whether it is intended to have an immediate disso lution of Parliament or not we do not pretend to say ; but, if there be an immediate dissolution, we trust the electors, whatever may be the political principles which they expect their Representatives to uphold, will, at least, look to respectability of character as an indispen sable requisite for their suffrages. It cannot be denied by the warmest friends of what is called the Liberal cause that many individuals found their way into the House of Commons, during the Reform excitement, whom no rational man would like to trust with the management of his own private affairs ; yet a more important office than that of making ]aws for a whole people cannot be intrusted to human hands. What good laws can be expected from men whose minds are grossly ignorant, or whose habits are irregular and principles dishonest ? Who would employ as an agent in his private business a man associated with bubble projectors, and upon whose word'or promise no human being would rely ? Who would allow his own fortune to be managed by a reckless young spendthrift, or a veteran roue who mounted the hustings fresh from the gambling-table, and became a patriot to mend the bat tered and bankrupt fortune which a passion for the dice-box had marred? If a person of such training and habits would not be considered trust-worthy in any commercial concern, why should he be qualified to be come one of the trustees of the national purse and a manager of national affairs ? There were persons also who made their way into the Reformed House of Commons, whose accomplishments were of such a na ture as to make them any thing but an agreeable ac quisition to any assembly of gentlemen. We fearlessly ask if the manners cf the House of Commons were not, since the last general election, sensibly- deterio rated ? And if the House, though presided over by one of the most dignified and accomplished gentlemen in the kingdom, did not exhibit many scenes during the last two sessions, that would have disgraced a bear garden ? The silly cry of " Oh, oh ! " unknown until within a few years, was actually polite and decorous compared with some of the strange noises which were latterly introduced into the House. Those gentlemen who played the parts of owls and cocks in top-boots, hooting and crowing, would make capital legislators for the Zoological Gardens, but in St. Stephen's Chapel they were strangely out of place. We have only now thrown out a suggestion to the electors, as to individuals whose habits and manners, without any re ference to political opinion, ought to exclude them from the great council of the nation, under whatever colours they may seek the suffrages of the electors.--Morning Herald. How much flattered must the members of the new Cabinet be by the language of the Ministerial organ of yesterday, the Times ! Our Contemporary, after having sorrowfully brooded over the lamentable cata logue of nonentities which compose that august body, and turned in despair and disgust from the hopeless task of urging anything in praise of the individual Mi nisters, finds out, de desespoir de cause, this singular advantage which the Peelo-Wellington Cabinet is in possession of, beyond all others: " With the exception of three individuals, the subordinate members are not likely to exercise any independent power." And are we really come to this ? So out of the fifteen person ages who are dignified by the title of confidential ad visers of the Crown, twelve are declared by the confi dential adviser of the Chancellor and the Prime Minis ter to be mere negative quantities, arm-chairs (we be lieve we only borrow that appellation from the Times) —mere manikins to fill niches in the walls of Down ing -street, and to be guided as it may please the Dic tator to pull the wires which regulate their limbs. What a subject for the pencil of H. B. ! The word of command is given by the Field-marshal—Joseph Surface acts as fugelman—" To the right-about face —Reform." Away go the Church-and-King decla rations of Goulburn, the Ashford-speech of Sir Ed ward Knatchbull, the waverings of Lord Wharncliffe, the alew lights of Mr. Baring. The Dictator changes his mind, the wind sets the other way, and " As you were," is the word of command. The Home Secretary lapses again into th e M em b er for the University of Cambridge ; the Kentish Baronet raves again of Protestantism and ancient institutions ; the Golden Weathercock repeats the last part of his speech, which of course was an answer to the first ; and all is as it was. What a happy state of things I This country may indeed ask, if this be so, why have these puppets at all ? Why keep up an expensive machinery, when a clerk would do as well to register the decrees of the triumviri of the Times? But if it is so, how will the morning organ of the new Cabinet settle the matter with its evening authority ? If the Times be right, what becomes of the galaxy of talent, consistency, integrity, and morality which the Standard congratu lated the country upon possessing, in that long cata logue of names which it announced as the Adminis tration of the Empire ? When doctors differ, who shall decide ? For ourselves, we profess to believe neither the one nor the other. The shout of derision with which the announcement of the Cabinet has been met, wherever the account of it has yet reached, at once laughs to ~scorn the bragadocio language of the party. How can it be other wise ? The consistency of a Peel !—the talent of an Aberdeen or a Goulburn I—the integrity of a Herries I—the morality of an Ellenborough I Nor yet do we believe that the Dictator's rod will be sub mitted to so easily as the Times would wish to make it appear. Already symptoms of disunion, or, to speak the language of the Cabinet itself, of mutiny, have shown themselves. Although, more easy than Lord Chandos, who is gone to pout in Buckinghamshire, after having quarrelled with his would-be colleagues, in the first council, Mr. Baring and Sir Edward Knatchbull may consent to swallow their Malt-tax votes and speeches—though Lord Aberdeen may give up Miguel, and Lord Wharncliffe may stomach the refusal of the Seals of the Home-office—there are already symptoms of disagreement. The dissolution has been, we are confidently assured, the first. But let it be agreed or disagreed, the people of England will never consent to bow their heads before such crea tures as these, whether they are, as one of the journals eve have allud e d t o asser t s , th e mere too l s o f one or two amongst their body, or whether they pretend to govern each in the fulness of his own incapacity and disrepute.—Morning Chronicle. We yesterday endeavoured to impress on Re formers the necessity of acting in such a manner as to prevent the opponents of Reform from profiting by their divisions. The leading Reformers should every where meet, and canvass the merits of the different candidates in the field ; and having once fixed on their men, support them with energy and determination. Finsbury would be for ever disgraced were a trimming lawyer, who entered the borough under the colours of Reform, who now seeks to betray the cause, to be returned. No old Tory would have ventured to go the length of this Whig deserter, in calumniat ing the party through whose exertions he obtained his seat ; and the success of such a man, after the sophistical addresses which he has been writing and distributing so sedulously, would be quoted as a proof that the ele c to rs o f Finsbury have equally abandoned the cause of Reform. Mr. Duncombe will of course be returned. To throw out the Ser geant, some candidate who can hope for the suffrages of all classes of Reformers ought to be put forward. We observe that Mr. Wakley has issued an address. That gentleman, we know, has a number of supporters in Finsbury, and his conduct in the late contest was deserving of all praise. But from all that we can learn, he could net hope for success against Sergeant Spankie ; and we fear if he persists in going to the poll, the result will be disastrous to the cause of Reform. We yesterday learnt that Mr. Henry Hobhouse, who has acted so nobly in Bath, has been called on by a num ber of electors to stand for the borough. If he come forward, and Mr. Wakley consent to withdraw in his favour, the Sergeant will be beaten. But if both stand, the Tories will point to the victory of Sergeant Spankie as a proof of the triumph of Toryism and High Church principles, and Finsbury will be disgraced by having inflicted such a blow on Reform. We hope this mat ter may be arranged. The candidate who has the best chance of success ought to be supported by all the electors. We understand Mr. Wakley has received requisitions from other places, where his chance of suc cess is less questionable. His retirement in this case would tend greatly to promote his election elsewhere. In our election notices will be found a letter referring to the state of Mary-la-bonne. We wish Sir William Home were anywhere but in that borough. He is in the way of a good candidate, and we fear he will prove a very uncertain Representative. We would not even trust him with pledges. One gentleman of high cha racter, and who would be strongly supported in the bo rough, considers himself not at liberty to stand, so long as Sir William Home is a candidate. This is unfortunate. We trust the electors will soon see their way.--Morning Chronicle. The only new " convert to Reform," announced yesterday, in consequence of his appointment to the Secretaryship of the India Board, is Mr. Winthrop Praed, whomight be safely enoughldesignated Mr.Sin ole Speech Praed—inasmuch as the whole of his Par liamentary reputation rests upon one speech, and that one by no means the first of its class. Upon no other occasion do we ever remember him to have opened his lips, though his pen, if general rumour may be cre dited, has been for some years past busy in bolster ing the decaying cause of Toryism, in the columns of a contemporary morning journal. However, every accession of strength (?), at a time of such utter Tory dilapidation as the present, is as unquestionable a benefit, as a straw comin g in the way of a drowning man. Both are eagerly aid hold of by the sub jects of despair. Lord Lowther and others are talked of for different offices ; but so far as we arP hitherto aware, without any just ground. When there are places vacant, however, there will never, as his Majesty's chief rat-catcher proved upon the Catholic Bill, be any lack of aspirants. In the meantime, the " United Cabinet," as it has been termed by the Conservative party, in contra-dis tinction to the late Whig Ministry, and no doubt on the ground of a more decided union among the latter, in so far as tenure of office is concerned, than the former—is, according to general report, any thing but " united." There is a split, it is said, upon the subject of the approaching dissolution, and ano ther upon the malt tax question. Upon the former, it is averred in well-informed quarters, that a re gular battle has been fought, and that the deci sion which has been come to for a dissolution on Friday, the 26th instant, was carried by a very small majority ; while with regard to the latter, as well as to the necessary quantum of Reform in the Church which, like "a tub to the whale," it may be necessary to give, it is averred that no distinct understanding has yet been brought about among. his Majesty's " united advisers," and that the conclusion of the debate may lead to the retirement of Sir E. Knatchbull from any fellowship with his new asso ciates. However, let the Tories continue their squabbles, as well as their efforts—what signify they ? The people are up—they are on the alert—they are determined, and that there is no absence of unanimity among them we quote the following passage, in every respect most applicable to the present crisis, from the preface to the last number of the Westminster Review, and no doubt from the pen of its eloquent conductor Colonel Peyronet Thompson : " If an American a few weeks ago had insulted an English man by asking him how he could live under a Government where the arbitrary power of arresting the whole course of public policy at a moment's warning was lodged in a single individual, and that individual not in any shape selected for the purpose by the nation, but taken by hereditary descent, and consequently liable to be, in the celebrated words of Archdeacon Paley, ' the feeblest and worst of the whole set, a child, a woman, a madman, or a fool ;' and who, moreover, through the operation of absurd laws, was exposed to almost the necessity of surrounding himself with an illegitimate off spring in his youth, and with the counsels of a foreign wife in his old age, thus systematically providing an inlet for the exer cise of the two influences most wounding to national honour, and coolly making them integral portions of the Government : " If he had asked him how a nation was to be respectable in its connections with foreigners, when in the midst of the most prosperous negotiations, every foreign agent might twit the Ambassador with the possibility of his being upset next post by the agency of such a perilously contrived machinery at home, and the people's interest in the most important scheme of policy might be peremptorily stayed at the pleasure of an individual as above, and laid under the same kind of loss and disadvantage that would accure to an army from the power of at any critical moment inserting the enemy's general in lieu of it own, and leaving to the army the chances of future recovery;— " If an American had said all this, he would have been an swered boldly, that it was an exaggeration and a falsehood. That though many of the rules of the British Government were not written in express statutes, they were laid down in the great common law of history, and stamped there in characters so plain, and enforced by recollections so notable, that the man must be entirely ' dement' and void of understanding, who should attempt to charge the British people with any such absurdity as was conveyed in the statement. That though the way in which the liberties of the citizen had been constituted by gradual accumulation, had prevented points of this kind from being arrayed in writing, as might have been the case under diff ere nt circum- stance's, yet every man in his heart and conscience knew it was a filthy libel to say, that what is called the prerogative of the Crown in the appointment of its Ministers, was the power of exercising arbitrary and personal fantasy or feeling, but on the contrary, it was a power limited in its application by acknow ledged rules, and guided by particular facts. That it was well understood, for example, that on the existence of a cer tain degree of avowed dissension among the ministers them selves, or of a certain degree of demonstrated inability to carry with them the support of Parliament, the Crown was to exercise its constitutional right of change. But that it was no more understood, nor wrought into the minds and appre hensions of Englishmen, that the Sovereign was endowed upon this point with the power of acting without concert with responsible Ministers—than that he was placed there to choose his Ministers by the cut of their beards or the colour of their hair; or if he did, that it would be wilfully carrying back the country to those old and too fatally celebrated periods of struggle, which the public believed to have passed without the probability of recurrence. " All this confidence has been blown into the air by the re solution suggested to the enemies of the people and the crown, through the lamentable refusal of the people's reputed friends and leaders to secure the post against the return of the enemy when they had it in possession. There is nothing to be done now, but to try to get him out again by unanimity ; though it would be but decent, and for the common good, that, after the Whigs have given such awful proof of their incompetency to direct, they should invite at least a mixture of better men. But with this reservation—there must be no unfriends, except such as are found trying to sell the common cause for tome sneaking advantage to themselves. The country, with the single exception of the increased power in the hands of the people for setting things right by Parliamentary resistance, is carried back by advisers behind the throne, to the state of things which preceded the eruption of 1640. In the exercise of that resistance in such a manner as to prevent the probabi lity of a recurrence of the necessity, is the one hope of peace ful individuals. The country cannot be put on the verge of a civil war every two years. The Tories have recklessly played their last stake; the people must play theirs and successfully, or consent to see themselves led, with more or less of grada tion and delay, to the infamous days of the Second Charles, through the miserable ones of the First. " The error committed by the extra-Ministerial counsellors has been enormous, except as desperation covers all faults. They have done what Ham did to his father,—in sweeping away the decent reserves and modest conventional limitations that veiled the grossness of the prerogative ; and they have forwarded the advances of Republicanism some twenty years, by setting up a practical Republican party in a country where there was before only a theoretical and abstract one. The beard has grown during shaving, and the Tories dare not dis solve. Liberals of all shades must hang their judgment upon the single point, whether their Representatives, upon the call for the Supplies, or for the Mutiny Bill, will vote for the amendment, that ' The advisers of the formation of an Admi nistration from the opponents of the Reform Bill, were enemies to the People and the Crown.' "—Morning Advertiser. Our contemporaries have again struck their " single string," and, appreciating, we presume, the taste and intelligence of the select few who peruse their lucu brations, indulge once more in abuse, actual and an ticipatory, of the new Ministry, blended with praise present, past, and future, of the luckless individuals who are unfortunate enough to merit their approba tion. Young Mirabel complains in Farquhar 's clever• comedy that marriage is " soup for breakfast, soup for dinner, soup for supper, and soup for breakfast the next morning." Now, apologizin g to that institution for comparing it with the topics of the ex-Ministerial journals, we do wish they would vary their tone, and give some original views of what they think the policy of the new Administratio n should be. This, however, does not suit their factious views. If our contemporaries of the faction speak of Church Reform, they dread lest an efficient and safe measure should be brought in, one which may secure the rights, privileges, and independen ce of our admirable establishments, and at the s ame t i me remove every rea sona bl e groun d of discontent. If they speak of economy, they are well aware that the strictest economists are to be found in a Conservative Admini stration ; that the Duke of 'Wellington set the example of public frugality, which the ex-placemen were obliged to follow for a few paces, howbeit profligate Commis sions and useless jobs testify how zealous and sincere they were in pursuit of the excellent precedent his Grace had established. (We should like to see a catalogue raisonee of the places, temporary and per manent, carved out by the self-styled " Reforming Administration." We have not yet given up the pro ject of presenti n g s uc h a ca t a l ogue t o our rea ders.) If they speak of reforms in the civil establishments of the State, they fear lest well-advised and well-digested improvements, judicious adaptations of institutions to the existing state of affairs, based on accurate infor mation, not on ex-parte and declamatory statements, should convict them of misrepresentation and fac tious opposition. " Discretion," says the humorous " is the better part of valour," and our con temporaries have in this respect so much of the "better part" as to leave no room for the other ingredients in its composition. They find it far more safe to bawl diurnally " anti-Reformers ;" it is easy to escape from general assertions, however void of truth ; but let them hazard a reference to facts, and then even bluster is scarcely- an available material. The world is aware that the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Sir Edward Knatchbull opposed the enactment of the Re form Bill. We know, however, that Sir E. Knatch bull was to a considerable extent favourable to Parlia mentary Reform; we know also that the Duke of Wel lington and Sir Robert Peel advocated many measures of civil improvement, and were unwilling to enter upon the question of a change in the representative system because they were acquainted with the immense difficul ties attendant upon any material alteration, and unwilling (to use the words of the consistent Lord John Russell) to exchange " old lamps for new." They return to office, and find the measure in question the law of the land : and our Contemporaries arc not ignorant on this point, whatever they may be on others, that it ;s the full determination of both these eminent States men, and of every one of their colleagues, religiously to observe both the letter and spirit of its enactments. As a suppkment, however, to the cuckoo cry of " Anti-Reformers" our ex-Ministerial contemporaries have recourse to the desperate expedient of calling upon Reformers of all grades to unite. It is, forsooth, inconsistency when Sir Robert Peel invites Lord Stan ley to join the Government, as the strongest practical proof that the new Administration intend to proceed cautiously but efficiently in the work of Reform ; but when Sir John Hobhouse folds Mr. John Arthur Roe buck in his political embrace—when Messrs. Littleton and O'Connell reconcile their differences—and when Lords Brougham and Durham are entreated to exclaim, like Peachum and Lockit, 'Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong,' then it is " a noble oblivion of private quarrel.s,"—" a generous sacrifice of personal feelings." Let us at least learn the proper meaning of words, and not pervert their true signification to factious pur poses. By the country must all parties be judged. It is for that tribunal to decide whether England shall or shall not be preserved. Let the electors of the King dom decide between honesty, ability, patriotism, con stitutional Reform, and the maintenance of the insti tutions of the country on the one hand, and falsehood, selfishness, incompetency, innovation, ruin, and revo lution on the other. We own we look with confidence to their verdict ; although we do no t d en y or concea l that the period is one of anxiety and difficulty ; but we repudiate with indignation the slander that the sons of England, the descendants of martyrs, patriots, and he roes, will surrender the religion, laws, and liberties of the realm without a determined struggle, knowing, as they must, that on the issue depends the safety or the ruin of the empire, the question whether England shall resume her proud place among the mi g hty p owers o f the earth, or rapidly become the most feeble, impo verished, degraded, and despised of nations.—Morning Post. Rumours manifold and various are afloat respecting the dissolution of Parliament. Some of them, doubt less, are circulated in good faith ; others, as unques tionably, with a view to deliberate deception. How ever frequent may be the latter source of grave and positive " assurance," that Parliament is to be, or is not to be, dissolved, either before a given day, or not until a later day, it is a base and criminal practice, which every English party ought to be ashamed to countenance. There are persons who go about retail ing speculations upon this subject, which we suspect to have been cut and dried for use in the manufactory of some interested and not very honourable firm. Can didates, moreover, or pretended candidates, and (pre tended) friends of Ministers to boot, are profusely com municative of what they feign to be the strategic of the Government, for the campaign about to open. We need not say what limited reliance ought, in our judgment, to be placed on such unauthenticated statements. We are told, then, by these quidnuncs, that Parliament is not to be dissolved until the second week in January, because it is desirable " to give the people time to re flect," which would be obviously an admission that the present condition of the public feeling is unfavour able to the actual Government ;—an odd ground, cer tainly, to be assumed by those who are professing to canvass in its interest. A second reason for the delay is more curious still, when considered as proceeding from such a " friendly" quarter—namely, that there may be time to exercise in the most effi cient manner all the Government influence on behalf of the candidates who come forward to support it. The folly of such an avowal is not inferior to that of the attempt, if indeed the attempt were to be made or meditated. Government influence, by.thc good old methods of intimidation or corruption, would go but a short way in commanding the votes of our existing constituency, thanks to the Reform Bill for that ! It has been asked, and we have assented to the reason ableness of the question as a general one, what can an upright Administration fear from an upright House of Commons ? Let the Ministers manfully stand upon their measures ; and then let us see, provided those measures be comformable to the sense of the nation, what Parliament (net being a boiniiglimonger Par liament) will dare to treat them with hostility or dis respect. If the Government cannot go on with this present Parliament, because of Parliament being in advance of it on principles of Reform, might not the very act of dissolving from such a motive itself excite an angry spirit throughout the country, and through the medium of a new election serve to produce a wider breach between the Crown and the new House of Commons than had existed with the old one? Reason., ing, therefore, from these common-sense premises, Mi nisters must doubtless feel averse, except in case of necessity, to a premature dismissal of the present Parlia ment. But, whatever may be the grounds alleged in favour of or against a dissolution, still we are bound t 5 admit that much as We are indisposed to having recourse to such a proceeding as a general election at a time like the present, they who desire an appeal to the people without delay may really believe that course to be inevitable. They remind those who desire tliat the old Parliament should be called together again, that the acceptance of office by the present Ministers, vacates their seats in Parliament ; and that consequently, if the house were summoned to meet under such circumstances, the op poncnts of the Ministers would have " full swing' for some two or three weeks without a single check from any functionary duly authorized to expound the policy of the Government. For this view of the case there is doubtless very strong justification in the sense less pledges which some members have already pub licly given to oppose the Government of Sir it. Peel in limine and for ever. The principle, or rather the want of principle, of such people renders them, we confess, liable to all suspicion : and we can readily be lieve that there is no advantage, however dishonour able and unfair, that they would not take, especially when they could avail themselves of it with that im punity which the absence of the objects of their factious vituperation would afford. But is the House of Commons generally—is the majority of it—composed of such men ? We hope and believe not. We have very little doubt that a sufficiently commanding number of the House of Commons would negative all attempts to prevent an adjournment imme diately after the King's speech, until the Ministers of the Crown should resume their seats, and that a majo rity of the House of Commons could never be induced to censure either by their votes or by their speeches a Government that has not been heard, or measures that have not been propounded. But, whatever be the re sult, dissolution or no dissolution, we have no wish to throw the country off its guard, or to leave liberal can didates unprepared for any sudden emergency. On the contrary, the part of prudence is to act as if the dissolution were certain and immediate. Sir James Graham's address to the electors of East Cumberland appears in this day's paper. There is nothing parti cularly tangible or striking about this cautious docu ment, beyond:its being remarkably well written. Look ing to that part of it which relates to the reforms which Sir James thinks necessary, we see nothing in it implying any serious difference of opinion from that likely to be entertained, by the new Government.— Times. EAST INDIA HOUSE. (Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.) EQUALIZATION OF THE DUTIES ON EAST AND WEST INDIA SUGARS. Sir C. FORBES wished to submit to the Court the policy of renewing the petition to Parliament for the equalization of the duty on East India Sugar—(Hear.) .... The CHAIRMAN said there could not be a stronger ad vocate than himself for the equalization of the duties on East India Sugar. He bad for twelve years co-operated with the Hon:Baronet, and was ready to do so again, to obtain the change. Such a course would be the best means of increasing the political power of the government in India, and at the proper time the subject of renewing the petition to parliament might be brought forward. He had received an assurance from the President of the Board of Controul that in the next session the subject should have the favourable attention of government. What course would be adopted under the new order of things be could not state, but he thought they should be ready to present another petition—(Hear.) Mr. FIELDER said a sort of pledge was made that the subject should be favourably considered by the govern ment. The Court then on the question adjourned, it being un derstood that at a future Court the subject of again pe titioning parliament for an equalization of the duty on East India sugar should be discussed. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1834. - ----------- - ST. LEONARD'S, SHOREDITCH. Last night a public vestry of the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, was held in the church, in pursuance of a requi sition to the Churchwardens, " to consider the cause of the obstruction and delay given to the petition of the inhabit ants of this extensive parish to his Majesty ; to take into consideration the alarmiag state of the country at this im portant crisis, and to adopt such measures thereon as may be deemed expedient." The chair was taken by the Church warden at six o'clock, at which hour from 1,800 to 2,000 persons were present. Dr. Lushi►:gton attended, and was received with loud and long-continued cheers. A letter from Mr. Clay was read, apologising for his ab sence, and stating that he had attended the day after he re ceived the Address of the parishioners, and presented it at the Duke of Wellington's office. As his Grace was not there at the time, he left a note, requesting that it should at once be presented to his Majesty. As he received no communication from the Duke respecting the presentation, he wrote to him on the subject. He had been obliged to leave town, and had requested that any official communica tion on the subject should be forwarded to Mr. Lawrence. A letter was then read, of the date of the 15th instant, from Mr. Phillips, the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, to Mr. Clay, in which he stated that he had been desired by the Duke of Wellington to inform Mr. Clay that his Grace had not failed to lay the Address of the parishioners of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, before his Majesty, respecting the dismissal of the late Administration and appointing their successors. meeting of the inhabitants of this parish ; and also, that the Hon. and Learned Member (Dr. Lushington) was present—(Cheers)—but deeply regretted that the other Member for the Tower Hamlets was not by his side.— ( Hear, hear.) If the Duke of Wellington had treated the large and respectable public vestry of that parish with pro per respect, and had presented their address in due time to the King, there would have been no necessity for their meeting that night.L4Hear, hear.) He contended that the address of so large and respectable a parish was entitled to an immediate answer. He would ask, who placed the King on the throne, and for what purpose he was placed there, but to listen to the wishes and prayers of the people? —(Loud cheers.) He contended that there was no one, however high his station, that the people were not justified in calling to account for a dereliction of duty.—(Cheers.) The time had come when it was the duty of every man to let his sentiments be known, and boldly to speak out, re gardless of tany attempts at intimidation. He concluded with proposing the first resolution, to the effect that the vestry regarded With surprise and regret that the address passed at the former meeting had been so long delayed in its carriage to the foot of the throne, and that such delay in the present state of the public mind calls for a strong expression of feeling, and that the Members for the Tower Hamlets be requested to explain any circumstances within their knowledge respecting the said delay. Mr. PURLAND seconded the resolution, which was car ried with great applause. Dr. LUSHINGTON (who was loudly cheered when he 'pre sented himself to the meeting) said that at the time when the address was agreed to, the nation was placed in a situa tion of deep and imminent danger, and it imperatively be hoved every Englishman to come forward and take care that the feelings of the people were made known to the Crown.—(Cheers.) Their great misfortune now was, that those who bad the power to rule and domineer over the people were ignorant of public feeling ; that the great por tion of the aristocracy and hierarchy, some of whom were rolling in excessive wealth, were not aware of the extent to which the people were informed ; they had no conception of the extent of knowledge possessed by the bulk of the community. The persons to whom he alluded supposed that the people are as they were twenty-five years ago ; they had no conception of the extent of political know ledge diffused amongst all classes, nor of the changes that had taken place.—(Great cheering.) At the period he had just alluded to, it was a matter of doubt whether the blessings of education should be diffused amongst the people at large, but now the person who hinted at such a doubt would be derided.—(Hear, hear.) The Duke of Wellington was abroad during a great por tion of the period when these changes were going on, and' he had not the least conception of the state of the public mind.—(Cheers.) He agreed that the address, coming as it did from a parish containing 70,000 inhabitants, and 1 ,500 or 1,600 electors of the Tower Hamlets, had not been treated with proper respect. He did not feel himself called upon to detain them further, but to assure them that in the present crisis that union and firmness was absolutely necessary to save them from the probability of a dangerous struggle, in which the liberties of the country might be de stroyed or saved only by the most strenuous exertions.— (Cheers.) The people now knew to whom the reins of power were to be confided, namely, to those who for the whole of their political lives had been adverse to the liber ties of the people, hostile to those great objects which they had most dearly at heart, namely, the reform and purifica tion of those institutions to which they were so warmly at tached.—(Cheers.) Mr. Govan proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the vestry regretted that the representatives of the Tower Hamlets did not obtain an interview with the Duke of Wellington, to request him to transmit their address im mediately to his Majesty, and that the delay that had arisen had originated in the indifference of the Noble Duke to the voice of that parish expressed in public vestry, and to the feelings of the people. Mr. SoLtoloil nat addressed the meeting, and conclu ded with proposing a resolution expressive of the sense of danger the meeting thought that the Constitution was ex posed to by a Tory Government. Mr, LAWRENCE seconded the motion, after a speech of some length, which was loudly cheered. Mr. PEARCE proposed the next resolution, to the effect that an address be presented to his Majesty, embodying the resolutions previously allnded to ; and that the address be presented by Earl Durham, or in his absence by some other Peer. Mr. PEARCE then proposed thanks to the Members of the Tower Hamlets. Mr. GouGH objected to the motion being put until they had a declaration from their Member present that he would oppose the new. Government, even t o the e x treme case o f W thholong the supplies, until they were dismissed,, i (Cheers.) Dr. LUSHINGTON felt it necessary to trouble the Meet ing with a few words, in consequence of the observations of the last speaker. He had constantly retried anything like compromise, and had on that account, refused to join Mr. Canning's Administration.—(Hear, hear.) He intended to oppose the Tory Government to the utmost of his power ; for he knew, however speciously they might begin their career as Reformers, they would only do so with a view to fix themselves in their offices, that they might the more readily fix chains on the people.—(Cheers.) He would, to the best of his abilities, oppose them, even to the extent of stopping the supplies, until they were driven from o ffice,(Cheers.) The resolution was then agreed to. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting broke up. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—The nurse in the family of Henry Whitmore, Eni., of Wyndham-street, Bry anstone-square, having gone on Thursday evening to a box in which were a cat and kittens, with intent to take one of them out for the amusement of a child, about twelve months old, in her arms, as she was stooping down the cat flew out in a rage, and tore out one of the eyes of the child with one of her claws. The cheek of the poor infant was also torn by the infuriated animal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 17 SELL V. BRAITHWAITE. The plaintiff in this case was a livery-stable keeper and the defendant a Gentleman who had formed one of a party to go to Hampton Races in the early part of this year. This was an action to recover the money expended for the repair of the phaeton in which the party went to the races, and which was injured on its return home ; and also for the - hire of another carriage while it was under repair. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff ; and the damages were assessed at 181., the amount charged for the hire of the other carriage being objected to by the defen dant's counsel, and not insisted upon by the other side. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—DEc. 17. ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-HOWELL V. JACKSON The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff committed the first assault in presence of a constable, and that he had conducted himself in a violent and outrageous manner in defendant's house. The defendant kept the public-house called the Hercules, in Leadenhall-street. On the 6th of November, 1833, the plaintiff, with three other persons, was drinking in the defendant's tap-room about ten o'clock in the evening, and a drunken man having intruded into the house there ensued a scuffle, in which the landlord, in attempting to put out the whole party, kicked the plaintiff's shins, when the plaintiff placing his hand on the defendant's shoulder to avoid falling, the defendant seized him by the collar. The plaintiff then used all his efforts to prevent his being turned out by the defendant, who however gave him into custody to a watchman, under the charge of being drunk and disorderly. The plaintiff was imprisoned in the station-house till next morning, when he was taken before the Lord Mayor and discharged. Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, DEC. 17. BENTLEY, DEAR, AND CO. ' s BANKRUFCY. A meeting of this large mercantile establishment, was held to-day for the proof of debts, and to allow Mr. Dear and Mr. Richardson to pass their final examination. Mr. Bentley still absents himself from his croditors, but the re ward of 100/. offered for his apprehension has been with drawn. The Court room was again fully attended, a great number of creditors having debts to prove. A claim was made on behalf of Messrs, Vere and Co., bankers, to prove against the joint estate for 10,0001., on a bill drawn by Bentley, and passed into the claimant's house through that of Mr. Gummersall, the bill broker. The proof was opposed on behalf of the estate. Mr. Sapte, of the firm of Vere and Co., attended to make the proof. The bankrupts then passed their final examination, and were questioned by Mr. Ashurst, if they had given a full statement of their effects, and whether any property had been removed to the house of Mr. Buckley in Shoreditch, unaccounted fora The bankrupts replied to all the ques tions in the most satisfactory manner. There were about eighty fresh proofs submitted to-day, amounting to a large sum. The previous proofs were for nearly 70,000/. The assets. in hand are nearly 50,000/., and it is expected that a dividend of from Bs. to 10s. in the pound will be paid, as every description of liability does not exceed 125,000/. The balance-sheet was extremely volu minous, and the greatest difficulty has been experienced by the official assignee in arranging the accounts, in conse quence of false entries which were made by Bentley. The further proceedings were adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-DEC. 17. OLD COURT. Upon the RECORDER entering the Court at five o'clock, Richard Carlile was ordered to be brought up, which was accordingly done. RECORDER—Richard Carlile, the Court is informed that you have not paid the fine, or taken any steps to find the sureties which has been required of you, and I therefore think it is right to inform you, that you will be removed from here and placed in the same custody as if you had been tried at Guildhall, and had been punished with impri sonment in Giltspur-street compter, being one of the pri sons under the new Act. You are to understand that you will be removed to Giltspur-street compter, and there remain until such fine is paid, and the sureties required by the Court be entered into. Carlile then bowed and retired. RECORDER—Make what has taken place a minute of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Count Alexander Szadursky, charged at this office on Monday with uttering a forged bill of exchange for 5001., purporting to be drawn by the house of Steiglitz of St Petersburgh to George Finch, was brought up for further examination. Owing to the publicity given to the former examination the office was thronged with people, some of whom had suffered pecuniary losses by the artifice of the prisoner. After a long examination the Magistrate committed the prisoner on the charge of uttering the .500/. bill, well knowing at the time that it was a forgery. The prisoner will, however, be brought up again, as there are some charges of fraud to be preferred against him. W OR SHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton, of No. 10, Ed ward-street, Bethnal-green-road, appeared before Messrs. GROVE and TWYFORD, to show cause why she refused to contribute towards the maintenance of her husband, an in sane man, and who had become chargeable to Bethnal-green parish. It appeared that the husband had been in a deranged state for some time, and had been kept under restraint in Bethnal-green workhouse ; but, in consequence of the pa rish surgeon declaring that he was in a fit state to go at large, he was last week sent home. On the following day the wife's friends made application to the Board of Guar dians for his re-admission into the workhouse, as his conduct was still more outrageous and highly dangerous to those around him. The Board, however, objected, on the ground that the wife continued to carry on the business of her hus band, and ought to contribute towards his support. The wife declared that it was quite impossible for her to do so, for her earnings were hardly sufficient to support her and her child. Mr. Brutton, the Vestry-Clerk, said that Mrs. Hamil ton was a composition-doll maker, and employed extra hands ; and her weekly earnings, he could prove, were suf ficient to support her husband, as well as herself and child, and that very comfortably too. Mrs. Hamilton said that nothing would give her greater pleasure than to contribute to her unfortunate husband's maintenance if it was in her power, but she assured the Magistrates that it was not. Mr. GROVE said that, in point of law, a wife had nothing belonging to her ; all the property belonged to the husband, and the earnings of the wife the husband could insist upon having ; but where the husband was incapable of taking care of himself from insanity or other causes, and became chargeable to the parish, all the property went into the hands of the overseers. Mr. TWYFORD said that he had never known an in stance of a wife being compelled to maintain her husband ; but still, as to the point of law, he perfectly agreed with his brother Magistrate ; for if a woman were to realize 500/. a year by her own labour, it would certainly be the property of her husband, and he might dispose of it as he thought fit. Mr. GROVE said that if a woman were to elope from her husband, and refuse to maintain him if in her power to do so, a Magistrate could commit her to prison under the Va grant Act for desertion. Mr. Brutton said that was the law, however hard it was ; but the parish did not wish to be at all harsh with Mrs. Ha milton, if she would allow 4s. a week to the parish for the support of her husband, the parish would be satisfied. Mrs. Hamilton said she would not hesitate a moment if she thought she could, but she knew well that it was out of her power. The Magistrates decided that, unless Mrs. Hamilton could come to some amicable arrangement with the over seers, while her husband remained in the care of the parish it would be for them (the Magistrates,) to adjudge her to contribute some decisive, weekly sum, adequate to her earn... Th case was ordered t o stand over, in ord er t o e oppor tunity of coming t o some afford Mrs. naillton an ettletneLt with the parish, ANTI-` ont ttnNT. , At the meeting o; . the Anti-Tory Association, on Saturday, Mr, O'Connell gave notice that on Tuesday (to-morrow) he should siihinit a plan for the collection of an anti-Tory rent throughout Irelaricl. This is a measure of the most vital importance at the present rhotant. It is all that was required to ensure the utter dis comfiture of the Tories at the elections. The necessity of creating a fund to aid the return of neformers is proved by the efforts of the Tory party, backed by abundant pecuniary resources, in various parts of the country. We have learned that a bold attempt is to be made in the Queen's County to procure two supporters for the Peel-Wellington Government. A meeting of Conservatives was held on Friday, when it was determined to support Sir Charles Coote, one of the present Members, and the li on . M r . V ese y, son of Lord de Vesey. Baronial Committees were appointed for the purpose of co ercing the freeholders, and adopting other arrangements cal culated to effect the object of the gang. The independent electors of the Queen's County, who made so glorious a struggle in 1832, should be up and stirring. It is in their power to give a signal defeat to the factious aristocrats who are now leagued against their independence.—Dublin Morn ing Register. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
