SPIRIT OF TUB PUBLIC JOURNALS. Mr. Secretary Canning and Mr. Tierney were present during the greater part of the discussion last right in the House of Commons ; and it was expected that the latter gentleman would put some fresh questions relative to the still un `settledstate of the Ministry, from an unfounded rumour which prevailed in the course of the evening, ,that Mr: Canning was about to resign. Upon this subject; we cannot avoid observing, that we should consider the secession of that gentleman at any time a deep source of regret, and should particularly lament it in the present circumstances of the country. To abandon his post at such a moment would be to expose him self to the charge that he eagerly caught at any pretext to fly from difficulties he had created himself, but with which he could no longer cope ; or that he preferred the gratification of his vanity and resentment to the forwarding of the public interests. Unfounded as such insi nuations would be, and wholly inconsistent with his l on g tried merits and his noble mind, yet his grea test friends and warmest admirers would have most deep cause of regret on the occasion ; and this consideration alone is a triumphant answer to such e a pretend that he is anxiotis to resign. In the .mean time, the motives which are assigned for his -secession conld only originate in systematic hos tility ; and the simulated admiration and affected -sympathy, by which it is attempted to disguise it, only serve to render its malignity the more glarin g . None but the most designing and inve terate enemy could raise a report of this kind, un der the circumstances of the moment, because it would imply a wish on the part of Mr. Canning to make use of his popularity, in order to domineer over his Colleagues, or should he fail in this, to embarrass them and the affairs of. the country at the same time. Either of these charges, if substantiated, would be sufficient to destroy the reputation of any public man, however highly gifted, or however meritorious his past services may have been ; whilst the act would be harmless to every one ex cept its author. We are however fully aware how inca pable Mr. Canning iv of acting in the manner so insidiously implied; and are anxious only to express our indignation at so "weak an invention of the enemy ;" whilst we treat with coratempt the extravagant notion that the services of any particular individual are indispensable to the welfare and tranquillity of the State.—Morning Post. The Ministers seem at length to have agreed that the_ present state, of things . can go on no longer. The Cabinet met, with the exception of Lord" Bathurst, on Saturday, and was in de liberation for several hours. It : is understood that the King will come to town to-morrow, and, before his Majesty returns to Windsor, it may be presumed that Lord Liverpool's succes- Tor will be appointed. Desirous as we are, and important as it is, that this question should be settled, we entertain no very sanguine hopes that. any arrangement which shall now be made, is likely to be of a fixed and permanent charac ter, or that a Government can be established on such liberal principles, as well as on such solid foundations, as to obtain the confidence and allay the apprehensions of the country. The Cabinet is - so equally divided, parties are so nicely balanced, that neither side can obtain a decided preponderanee to the exclusion of the other ; but. the most discouraging circumstance is, one of which we have only lately been aware, and which we have learnt with the greatest regret. We allude'to, the opinionS which an illustrious P ersonag e entertains upon the Catholic question and which are said to be such as to offer invin cible obstacles to the formation of a Government upon the principle of emancipation. We had hoped this was not the case, and those hopes - were c0nfi.v....1.1.4.- taro persons on this subject—conduct which might not unreasonably have been considered indicative of the opinion entertained in that high quarter. While we regret the incorrectness of our inference, we are bound to acknowledge that the independent mind on one side, and the toleration of that independence on the other, are equally creditible to both. The time is happily gone by, when the conduct of af fairs depended mainly on the character of the Sovereign. Kings are no longer am bitious ; and battles between liberty and prerogative we shall hardly see again. It is always unfortunate when Kings entertain strong political opinions, for they seldom possess the same nicans of arriving at Just conclusions with other men. Rarely accessible, seldom contradicted, frequently deceived, and always flattered, their minds never undergo that discipline without which no judgment can be correctly formed, even in the most. acute, observing, and patient minds. The mantle of the late King, which we had hoped was buried with the Duke of York, has been left (a fatal bequest) to a quarter where it never should be worn, nor ever can be, without endangering the peace of the individual, and the safety of the State. There never was a Sovereign upon whose brows the Crown sat more lightly than it has done on those of George IV.; and the attachment of those, who haVe regardul him as one of th e best, as h e h as b een one of the most prosperous of our rulers, has in no small degree been founded on that abstinence from all poli tical interference, which is equally wise,: dignified, and constitutional. The present King has had nothing to do but to lay }pis head in the cap of vic tory, and slumber through a long period, embellished with achievements and triumphs of which the tro phies were laid at his feet : if he has had to undergo some moral and physical evils, if any dreadful nightmare did for a while disturb the serenity of his repose, " time and the he ir" have run through these rough days. The time is now mine for the exercise of the most important i f the Royal functions, and under such circumstances that be cannot have recourse to the counsels of others, but must act upon his own personal judgment. Earnestly do we hope, that at this important crisis, he will choose for the hest --at a moment which calls for something more than mere nominal service. These are not times in which tie choice of a Minister is a matter of little moment, and in which the machine of Government can roll on, as usual, by its own impetus. The destinies of this empire may de pend on the hands by which they are now to be directed. I n the glory of his reign, the King has hitherto been most fortunate ; we may add, " fortunate, indeed, if he live to see nothing which shall vary the prospect and cloud the setting of his day."— Times. Th e working classes of this country were, within these few years, a thriving, comfortable, careless body of men ; the vicissitudes of the times have wr ought upon th em a succession of awful changes. Failure of employment made them a race of melancholy sufferers. Necessity has rendered them a formidable cl ass o f t hi n k ers. E very day brings proofs of the advan ces ma d e by What are usua ll y , though rather s corn f u ll y, term e d t h e ~ l ower orders of Great Britain, in the knowledge of those high interests of the community which comprehend their own. A mechanics' m „ t i n , was held last week at Bir mingham, for the Purpose of framing a pet i t i on to the House of Comm - ons, praying for a remedy to the mass of evils by which the labouring classes of society are as sembly was comp now afflicted. The as osed of deputies from the va rious trades, and we are bound to say, that for deep intelligence, accurate reas on i ng , an d f orc ible expression, there exists no other body of speakers in the kingdom who need blush to be compared with these Birmingham " operatives," as their kntiments come to us reported on this occasion hY the local newspapers. The lon g petition agreed to at the 'mewl , * contains a numbe r of W h o I e s o in e but probably unpalatable truths, in connexion with the recent hist° With the eff ects ry of the empire, an d produced upon the industrious classes by the selfish legislation of their aristocratic rulers. In approaching the subject of a .remedy, and in tracing , one branch of e v il s , t h ere. i s muc h, i n d ee d, from w hich we dissent ,•' but in a long and com plicated discussion, involving many questions of extensive practical importance, it would, of course, be impossible : to frame a long series of propositions which should all command alike the acquiescence of every reader. We do not agree with our friends, the mechanics, that a return from the false paper currency to specie has produced one particle of the misery which oppresses them, or that a revival of the paper system would add one farthing to those means which might enable our master manufacturers to resume the command of the foreign markets, the closing tip of which to the goods of this country has thrown the British jour neyman out of work. But we do agree with the Birmingham petition, that xvlien Ministers increased their own salaries, and those of their subalterns, to meet the rise of prices under a depreciated currency, they are bound, by the clearest principles of integrity and honour, to reduce those salaries to their ancient standard now that the prices have fallen. We are disposed very cordially to admit that the civil list in all its branches, Royal and Mi nisterial, swollen as it was upon the same pretext of high prices, , ought to be reduced now that prices have fallen. It is as strongly our conviction, as it is that of the mecha nics, that duties on foreign corn were a villainous inven tion of a rapacious aristocracy to grind down and starve the poor ; and finally, it is our fixed belief that every day which passes without the application of a decisive and effectual remedy to the almost universal suffering among both descriptions of English labourers—those engaged in agriculture, and those no longer engaged in manufacture— tends to make the compulsive remedy, more certain, severe, and painful.—/bid. The second reading of the Corn Duties Bill took place last night. Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Curteis spoke against the Bill. The latter begged leave to remind Mr. Peel that the project would destroy rent and taxes, that, with the destruction of the Aristocracy, the Clergy also must fail, and then, as no country can en joy liberty without a rich Aristocracy and rich Clergy, with them would end the liberties of the country, when even its existence in the map of Europe, as an independent nation, would also end. These are gloomy anticipations. But prizing as we do our liberties, and consequently prizing the bulwarks of them, the Bench of Bishops and other dignitaries of our Church, we confess we are not so much affected by the ap prehension of danger from this source, as by the accounts of sufferings from the working classes. throughout the manufacturing districts and the great towns generally, which almost exceed the , measure of human patience. If our readers will look to an account of a late meeting at Birming ham, in another column, they will see some very appalling pictures. This country presents alto gether a very singular spectacle at the present moment. We have our Sir Thomas Leth bridges and our Mr. Curteises calling out lustily for higher prices and additional protection ; and the working classes complaining that working sixteen hours a day, from one end of the week to the other, they cannot earn sufficient to keep soul and body together. Really liberties are precious, and the bulwarks of liberties, the Clergy, are also precious ; but cannot we enjoy our liber ties, and cherish our Clergy, without placing food beyond the reach of the working people ? Mr. Charles Grant read a sensible speech, in answer to Sir Thomas and the Member for Sussex. He showed them that-the existing measure had proved a mischievous innovation; that it was founded on an erroneous principle—namely, that Parliament was bound to keep the prices of corn in this country above the prices abroad; and that in a great corn '-mercial country like England, it was impossible to cut off one main branch of intercourse with other countries, without injuring:. both its laternaLantLex., a - dverted to one 'Fat of great importance, with a view to the safety of the farmer—namely, the ruinous consequences of an excessive supply in a country, cut off by habi tually high prices from the benefit of exportation. It is clear that our Corn Trade can never be on a right footing, without we can have recourse to exportation, as well as importation. If a tax is imposed on impor tation, a corresponding bounty ought certainly to be allowed on exportation. Mr. Grant adverted to the manner in which the distress of the working classes is increased, if not altogether caused, by. the unnatural attempt of the Landowners to found their own prosperity on the ruin of the national industry.- " It was generally admitted," he said, " that the price of corn regulated the price of all other commodities; and the sacrifice which must be made, in consequence of a monopoly price of that article, would fall not only on the profits of the manufacturing capitalist, but on the wages of the labourer. The condition of the labourer might and would he depressed. He might be made to work for a greater number of hours than formerly, in order to procure sufficient wages to maintain himself and family. • His comforts might be diminished, until at last he could hardly, with the utmost exertion, earn what would be necessary for a bare subsistence on the worst food, and to that state he was apprehensive this country was fast approaching. A change would be effected in the habits and comforts of the labourer, and the result would be, t l iat manufacturing capital would seek another coun try. The prohibitory price of corn was in reality a pre mium upon foreign manufactures." We considered the oppOsition of the landowners to this bill assimulated in order to induce the other classes to he satisfied ; and we really can hardly bring ourselves yet to believe, notwith standing of the Lethbridges, the Lauderdalee, the Stan hopes, and the Malinemburys, that they will be mad enough to give any serious opposition to a measure, which, in principle, is more favourable to them than it ought to be. —Morning Chronicle. Though the conduct of the wrong-headed Orange Parson, which Mr. Brownlow brought before the House of Commons a few days since, was in itself unworthy •of notice, it served to show the precious want of union which exists between the different persons holding Govern ment offices in Ireland. Here we have a Lord Lieutenant with an acknowledged " Viceroy over him," in the person of Mr. Goulburn : and an Attorney-General by turns the apologist and condemner of the Lord Chancellor. If a Government ought to be " a thing of shreds and patches," or as philosophers represent the planets to be, poised by the counteracting powers of at traction, this may be all very well ; but that such a state of things can be abstractedly right, or that men of high character and attainments can submit to be the tools and instruments of such a system, seems, to us at least, not only prepos terous and absurd, but degrading beyond any thing which a higher feeling than mere lucre can account for. We are unwilling to break in upon the happy exemption from political excitement which the absence of the Dublin lawyers for a moment blesses Ireland with. They. are now reaping on their Circuits the fruits and objects of all their patriotic endeavours; for, so that -briefs and vises fiow - in from the notoriety their conduct excites, their object, we believe, is answered. And not m uch higher, we fear, must be the objects of some of !hose who descend to mingle with qualities and opinions so opposite to their own as those which were elicited upon the occasion of Mr. Brownlow's motion. We are not saying which of those parties is right. That may be no easy matter. But we do say, that a Government composed of such discordant ca m aterials can scarcely be lled a G overnmen t a t a ll; an d that men who, it is cle ar , have no confidence in the principles of e ach o ther, co„ be en titl e d to very little t from to li ve, confidenc e a l one t h ey •ogh and h ave g their•bein—. It is this temporizing system. which c ont i nues e th6 t t s n e d il lno whoseve, to keep alive the constant state of exci 41 the people of Ireland are maintained. God s orbid that,a„,, i ., sion and union in the Government should lead, to any serious c o nseq ces i n , t h a t coun t r y. We believe it Wo u l d produce the very reverse. On the contrary, while both parties look to the Government as their friencis--while in fact, affords support to neither—they naturally vent upon each other the effects of their mutual disappointment. Let any man only manage his private - affairs in the wal in which the. Government of Ireland is constituted; let hint by turns blow hot and cold ; let him resolve, and re resolve, and still continue the same promising and. denying, promoting and thwarting to the end of the chapter, and he will in the end find his life and exertions have been not only useless, but the ridicule and contempt of all his ac quaintances. —Morning Hcrald. We had occasion the other day to remark on the extreme absurdity of calling on Parliament to fix, a minimum of wages. The Spitalfields work men do not, indeed, ask it to do this in so many words ; but they ask what is, in every respect, tantamount to it, when they ask for the book prices. Wages are a deduction from profits, and it is, therefore, the interest of the master that they should be as.low as possible. When labour is abundant, he haS it in his power to augment his profits. by giving smaller wages ; when labour is scarce, he must diminish his profits in order to purchase it: No combination" on the part of the master to lower, •-nor on the part of the la bourers to heighten, the price of labour, can ever be successful, unleSs the state of the : market fa vour their endeavours ; and, where that is the case, the purpose at which they aim will be 'ef fected as speedily and as certainly, in the ordi nary course of things, 'as if no•combinations had existed. There is one•case - only in which com binations may produce results which the ordinary state of the market does not indicate ; we mean the case of a monopoly, whether of capital or of machinery, or of any other kind on the side of the masters, or of skill or privilege in, the workmen. Something of the nature of a monopoly the Spitalfields workmen long enjoyed. , While no foreign silk could, with out a breach. _of law, come into competi tiOn with their productions in the home market, the principle which regulates the price of labour, ceased in a certain.degree to be applicable to theirs. That was the period of book-prices. Let -us see how book prices can be maintained now. 'Silks from every quarter of the globe, can at present be. imported into Great Britain, on payment of a duty of 301. per cent. That duty is equal to the sup posed difference between the expence of manufac turing silk goods at Spitalfields and at Lyons, and from the state* of the imports, there is every reason to believe, that the supposition is correct. Now, if the present strike do any thing at all, it will enhance the cost of the British fabric; that is to say, it will make 30/. per cent. no longer a fair proteCtion, and, consequently, it will drive the English manufacturer out 'of the market altogether, ,and fill it, instead, with the goods of the foreign manufacturer—and where is the weaver to go then ? Even a temporary rise of prices in this article of British produce, is extremely dangerous. By sending the public to foreign manufacturers for a aupply, they may acquire a fancy :or foreigniabrics, and both weavers and masters must be aware, from experience, that it is at all times easier to lose a customer than to win him back again. Strongly, therefore, and earnestly, do we advise the weavers of Spitalfields to give up the notion of petitioning Parliament for relief, which it will not, be cause it cannot, give, and to renounce combinations which, in the present state of the market, can produce nothing hut unmixed evil. Let them meet their employers, and meet them in a spirit of mutual accommodation, and obtain the best and most equitable terms they can. Where two parties must agree at last, the less time they spend in al tercation the better.—New Thus. THE COACHMAN.-A SKETCH. The Cnachrnan's eye, in a fine rhrimzy Doth glance from right to left, from left to right ; And as Imagination bodies forth The distant vehicle, the dexterous Jehu Keeps his own side, and gives the passer-by A nod of congratulation or contempt. • There is something in the nature of a Stage-coachman it smacks. like his.._comix_whio. of conscious importance. e is the elect of the road on which . he travelf,--ttukinne:. trious, imitated of thousands. Talk of the King indeed ! the King, even on his own highway, is bnt " cakes and ginger-bread " to the Jehu. For him John Boots whistles welcome—not so much through the goodness of his disposition, as through his teeth; and the publican waxes honest in his gin ; for him, Betsey the pretty bar-maid displays the symmetry of a well-turned ankle, and the landlady speaks volumes in a squint. Survey him as he bowls along the road, fenced in coats numerous as the seven hull-h4les of Ajax. Listen to the untutored melody of his voice, as he preaches the word of exhortation to his tits, and enforces his doctrine with the whip. Hark ! already he is entering a village--the horn sounds—the leaders rattle along the street, and out rush the neighbourhood to bid him welcome. Observe his importance—to•some he gives a grim nod, to others a smile of recognition, but thrice happy is he who is honoured with "Go it, Jemmy." Beatified James ! thou halt lived eternity in a moment. "Felix, hen, nimium felix, tun si bona noris !" In the nature of his vocation the Coachman hears no indistinct resemblance to the Poet. The one gives the rein to his horses, the other to his imagination ; and, when either run wild, the consequences are equally ha zardous. The poet drives his steed along the high road to Parnassus ; the coachman, more terrestrial in his calling, rattles them along the King's highway. The poet is the child of feeling, ditto the coachman. The one feels what he writes, the other what he drives—the one gets drunk with inspiration, the other with gin—and, finally, the one, gives spur to his Pegasus, the other to his leaders. Independently of these poetical associations, our hero is illustrious from his connexion with classical lore. Pelops was a coachman, and has been immortalized, for his ability to drive at the rate of fourteen miles an hour, by the first of Grecian bards. The history of his ivory arm is nothing more than a metapherical illustration of the merits of his whip-hand. He fractured it, in driving for a wager against King Enomaus, a brother whip ; but it was so well set by Esculapius, the first surgeon and accoucheur of his day, that popular ignorance, unable to account for the cure, ascribed it to Ceres. Hippolytus, the amiable Greek dandy, Hippolytus, with whom Diana herself was detected in a faux pas, was another notorious coachman ; and kept the most fashionable curricle of his day. I might quote divers other instances which, as Valpy's Grammar ex presses it, " a familiarity with the best writers will easily suggest ;" but there would be no end to my essay, for in good Booth " hills peep o'er hills and Alps on Alps arise," when I attempt to enumerate the charioteers whom my school days I have been taught to reverence. But in addition to such classical advantages, the Coach man is celebrated for the morality with which his name is associated. " All the world's a stage," says Shak speare ; and Time may be considered as the Jehu who rattles it along the high road of life to eternity. To re flective minds this association will appear obvious, and in his more serious moments, the philo- , Ther will love to consider a journey to Bath as a type of his journey to eternity. Turn we to survey another instance of the importance of the Coachman, in the tender affections with which his vocation is connected. He is the winged Mercury of love, the Cupid- of Valentine's-day, the legal conveyancer of re ciprocal esteem from friend to friend. He alone can " speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul," at the sensible pace of eight miles an hour, (including stoppages,) and bring the travelled husband to the anticipative optics of big wife. Sweet to behold him, in a calm summer evening, bowling along the village enshrined like Ixion in a cloud— of dust, with a crew of breechless urchins screaming wel come as he passes. A smile is en the face of the hamlet, and even the school master doffs his hat at his approach. The maid-servant rashes out in hope of a packet from her lover ; and the barber, with the weekly newspaper, tossed down to him from the box, flies pregnant with greatness, to be delivered at the village ale-house. With respect to his accomplishments, the Coachman is deservedly illustrious. If his conversation has not the copious elegance of Coleridge, it has all the easy copious ness of nature, with expletive beauties snore peculiarly its own. It is at once nervous, flowing, and anecdotal, enforced entiy con trives riY to w ith energetic anathemas, and garnished with t ec h n i cal o b sc urities. In music he i s no mean proficie n t ; hi s sc h o ol, as Lord Byron said of Christabel, is " wild an d sin guaand beautiful," e n t i beyond the re ful ,''a and noateh of art unfregu ~, some, however, " p r efersnatch ori g inal a ga the ltalian, others the Irish, ot h ers the i English—but I prefer the whip school of music; f or , lik e th e instrument from which its na me i s d er i ve d, i t i s strik ing, flexible, and melodious; and I can imagine n othing more truly touching than to hear a coachman, as 'he trundles along the road, "warble his nati ve w oo d n otes wikr. t o the pathetic tune of the Lass of Richmond Hill, or the more. palmed cauzonet of Sally in our Alley. ' . LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, APRIL 2. 41:1Dc31.ENT.—ROBSOli V. WESTiRN. His HONOUR, the Master of the Rolls, proceeded to give judgment in this case. It was a bill for an account against the defendants, Messrs. Western, Wakefield, and others, as trustees of the marriage-settlement of Edward Gibbon Wakefield. It appeared that Mr. Chas. Pattel, in 1815, was possessed of property to the amount of 70,000/. which he bequeathed, by will, to his father, his widow, and his daughter, Frances Pattel. In 1816, the testator being then dead, Miss Frances Pattel married Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and, upon their marriage, a settlement was made, under the direction of the Court of Chancery, by which the sum of 70,0001. was vested in trustees, to pay to the testator's father 1,0001. a-year ; another 1,0001. a-year to the testator's widow, during the father's life; and 2,0001. a-year after his death; a certain sum, as pin-money, to Mrs. E. G. Wakefield, and the residue to her husband, Mr. E. G. Wakefield. The 70.0001._ was laid out in Three per Cents. in 1818, and continued in the trustees till 1826, when an. order was made by the Court of Chancery to transfer the money into the name of the accountant-general of the Court, on trust, for the trusts of the settlement. In 1816, Mrs. Pattel, now Mrs. Robson, the plaint►ff, went to the Continent, where she' continued for three years, 'during which time, the divi dends upon the stock were received by Mr. Wakefield, who applied the produce, under the authority of the other trus tees, in payment of draughts made by Mrs. R. Mrs. Rob soli prayed an account against the defendants as trustees. It had been stated, that Mrs. Robson resided in the house of Mr. Wakefield, where she had access to the book in which the accounts were kept, 'and that she never made any objections to the accounts which had been so submitted to her inspection. There was, however, no evidence to prove that the book, when submitted to her inspection, was in the same state as it appeared at present. His Honour thought that the fiat was the reverse, and that the book, when submitted to Mrs. Robson, exhibited a different ap-, pearance from that which it did at present. His Honour was, therefore, of opinion, that there was no settlement of account up to January, 1820. It was now said, that in October of that year, Mrs. Robson had written to Mr. Wakefield, requesting the balance of her annuity for the last half year, and it was contended, that a claim, in that shape, virtually admitted that all previous accounts' up to that half year had been settled. This letter, if produced, would certainly have made an end of the case, but it was most extraordinary that this letter, of which the very words were set forth in the defendant's answer, should not have been sent to him (the Master of the Rolls) amongst the exhibits. He had thought this so extraordinary, that he sent to in quire the reason, and was informed the letter was lost.' His Honour was, therefore, of opinion, that the answer had not been supported, and that there must be a decree for an account against Mr. Wakefield. The bill, 'how ever, prayed something more, namely, that Mr. Wake field, ,having been guilty of misconduct, might be re moved from the trust. His Honour thought that no suffi cient evidence had been adduced to support this charge, and, with tile exception of that part which prayed the ac count, he'distnissed all the other parts of the bill with costs. Mr. GARRxr, for the plaintiff, made some attempt to change the intention of the Court in respect to the ques tion of costs. however, eipressed very strongly his cen sure of the course which the plaintiff had z..do i )td. Theie was nothing which had been attempted to be done by this bill, which might not have been done at one twentieth of the expense, either by a petition in the cause at present before the Court of Chancery; or by a supplemental bill. As Mrs. Robson had, without any necessity, obliged the other parties to incur such enormous expenses, ahe must abide by the consequences of her own conduct, and pay the costs of the proceeding. THE SPITALFIELDS' WEAVERS. Yesterday morning, pursuant to requisition, between IR and .15,000 silk weavers assembled in Hare-street-fields, Bethnal Green, for the purpose , of taking -into considera tion the answers received from such of their employers as have acceded to their demands ; and also at what time the increase of wages shall commence. It appeared that those masters who have agreed to the terms of the men, are themselves divided as to when the advance shall take place. Soule consent to pay for what is out, but by far the more nuinrrouid in the trade say that the work on hand, being given out upon a special agreement, has a right to be finished and returned under that agreement, and the ad vance to commence with the following piece. This was the subject for discussion. The Meeting was called for seven o'clock, but it was nine before any business commenced. An empty van, • which had been previously procured. by the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor, was placed in the middle of the field. Mr. Isaac NoQurr was called upon to preside. Atter the business had been opened— Mr. GRove, the Secretary apprised them of the im portance of the question they were called upon to decide, and then read a resolution to the following effect : " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that we:do not accept the offers of those manufacturers, who, by a written document, have, or may hereafter agree to give the book price' now in th for the groundseloom shall be • fins of all works, on aeonlhe price itioa agreed thatthose works to when the canes were taken out, but all canes now in the loom and not begun, must be considered as entitled to the Bock Price, and where there are two pieces of canes, the first half to be paid for at the stipulated price agreed to, when the work was taken out, and the second cane to be paid for agreeably to the late Book Price," The reading of this Resolution seemed to produce general dissatisfaction, and a cry of " The price from the reed" became quite general. Mr. Baowx called for a firm stand, to ie paid from the Reeds. —(Bravo.) Mr. HUNTER said the question was one of vital im ?ortance, and lamented to see such a division of sentiment. He considered the offer of Mr. Buttress to be honourable in the extreme, and he hoped honour and good faith would be equally held to them. He trusted that, as the work had been taken out under a particular agreement, that it should be returned accordingly.—(Great hissing.) Mr. EsaLltnoux said, that if feeling of justice existed, it would point out to there the necessity of finishing the work, and return it to their masters upon the terms which they agreed to take it.— (Great hissing.) Mr. Winn , . thought it would be an act of injustice against the masters who had agreed to their demands to manufacture the work for others, at less than what they were paying, inasmuch as the one would have an unfair advantage over the other in the same market. 111 r. Trtoxtrsox knew there was a combination of toas ters against them, but the men had the power of breaking the spell, and he therefore recommended the price from the Reed.—(Cheers.) Ronxam NOQUET was aware that many masters had agreed upon the condition of finishing the work, and after examining the contract into which the men entered, he thought it only reasonable to suffer those men to return to their work, whose masters had agreed to their 'terms. The qu. , _stion being called-- Mr. DORMER moved an amendment, " That the advance shall take place from what work is in the loom." Upon the amendment belt* put, Mr. WALLIS rose, and said he would strongly advise that they should finish the work in cane, and return it to the masters, at the contract price —(immense confusion)_ and that they should take out the fresh work at the "Book prices. "_(Cries of " No, no, we'll have the Book prices' at once.") The amendment was then put, and carried by a majority of about twenty to one. A SURPRIZE.—We were jogging pensively along, the Hottentot with two horses, shout ten yards be fore me. I following with the other two : Frederick was nodding on his saddle, having slept little, I believ e, the preceding night. In this posture, happening to cast m y eyes on one side, I beheld with consternation two monstrous lions reclining under a initnoea hush, within fifteen yards of onr path.

GUILDHALL.--Johra Cox was charged before Sir JOHN NIL/LING, Bart., yesterday, on suspicion of being concerned in an extensive robbery upon the premises Of Messrs Perrot and. Co., ealenderers and cotton-spinners, in Tenter-street, Moorfields. • The case was proved by Tearos watchman of Cripple gate, who seeing several young men lurking about White•- street, Moorfields, at half-past four o'clock on Sunday morning, communicated to the next watchman, his sus picions that some house in the neighbourhood had been or was about to be broken into, and desired him to stop and examine every one he should meet carrying bundles. This watchman mentioned that he had just seen four suspicious men in Grub-street, 'who, upon observing him, separated, and went different ways. While the watchmen were talk ing the prisoner came in view, and hearing Tear say he thought he was one of the gang, turned suddenly upon his heel and retreated, pursued by the guardians of the night, until he was stopped in Finsbury-square by Gaydon, one of the city night patrol. During the chase he threw away a piece of cotton print, which was identified by Mr. Perrot, as a part of the stolen property. Sir JonN l'Enatzio committed the prisoner for trial, observing, that he did not perceive how he could, by that course, in any way impede Mr. Perrot in his research after the other thieves. MARLBOROUGH STREET.--Yesterday Samuel Solomons, a Jew salesman, residing in White Lion-street, Seven-Dials, and Thomas Samuel White, the latter in custody as a principal, in the robbery committed some time ago at the Travellers' Club-house in Pali-mall, when seven, silver candlesticks were stolen, and the former charged with, receiving the said candlesticks, knowing them to be stolen,, were brought before F. A. Roe, Esq., the sitting Magistrate, for final examination. Mr. Sewell, a refiner, in Barbican, identified the prisoner; Solomons as the person who sold him the candlesticks pro-* duced on the very morning of the robbery; and both' prisoners were committed for trial. HATTON-GARDEN.—Mr. Vickery, a solicitor, re siding in New Boswell-court, Lincoln's-inn, applied to the Magistrates of this office yesterday, for a warrant against a Mr. George ilfullen, an appraiser, of North-place, Gray's inn -lane, for obtaining money, under false pretences, fro►n a gentleman named Jones, resident in the neighbourhood of Gray's-inn-lane: Mr. LAING was not aware that the Magistrates had any, power to grant a warrant under the circumstances. Mr. Jones might, however, prefer an indictment against the person complained of at the Quarter Sessions, which woule4 be holden on the following day (this day.) Mr. Jones and his solicitor then left the office, with the Intention of, we believe, adopting the suggestion of the Magistrate.. UNION-MALL.—A few nights ago the residence of a gentlenian, named Wilcox, at Camberwell, was attempted to be broken into, but the thieves being disturbed in the course of their operations, escaped, leaving sundry im plements behind them. Since the above attempt, Mr. Wilcox's family has been kept in continual alarm, owing to the extraordinary artifices of one of the female servants, named Anne Burt, who was brought up to this office yes.; terday by her master, in order to account for her singular conduct. Mr. Wilcox informed the Magistrate, that a night or two after his holm had been attempted to be broken into, the girl above-named brought him an anonymous letter, and said she had picked it up in the area, which letter contained threats of destruction to the whole of the inmates. lie, however, did not pay much regard to the commv , :ication, and in the course of the night the family were aw..ke by the ringing of. bells all over the house. Anne Bert, in particular, expressed the utmost slaves, and declared, that she had been informed it was the inter .ion of two men to break into the house and murder every person they found within. On examining the premises, however, nothing was discovered to lead to the belief that robbers had attempted to enter, and the circumstance of the bell ringing was ascribed to the frolics of some drunken men. The follow ing day, the same girl put..into the hands of her master another letter, containing the most deadly threats against the family, in consequence of the disappointment the writer experienced in his attempts to get into the house ; this letter she also described as having been thrown into the area by one of the party that intended to do the mischief. Mr. Wilcox, placing considerable reliance on the integrity and good character : of the girl, believed her account, and in consequence had two of the Bow-street patrol watching for the last few nights in his house, in the expectation of hay= ing a visit from the persons who used such threats. No noise or disturbance was beard until Sunday night, shout seven o'clock, at which time only Mrs. Wilcox and the servant, Ann Burt, were at home; at that hour a loud knocking was heard at a door at the rear of the house, which continuing, the girl ran up to her mistress, and, having armed herseltwith one of the pistols left behind by the patrol; she proceeded. down stairs,. and immediately af terwards the report of the. pistol was heard. As soon as the discharge took place the girl 'ran_ back to her mistress, saying that she had shot one of the robbers, for she plainly heard one of them explain to his . compiution, " Ob, Am, I am shot through the body ;" antl she also described that there were marks of blood outside the hack door. Soon after the above occurrence the patrol arrived, and the par ticulars having been stated to them, they discovered that it was all a hoax played off by the servant, and that she had actually cut her thumb, for the purpose of inducing a he lief that she had shed the blood of a housebreaker: When before the Magistrate she made a fall confession that she was the author of the anonymOus epistles as well as the contriver of the different methods by which the repose of the family was disturbed. On questioning her, however, as to the reason of such conduct, she refused to make any reply, and the investigation concluded by the Magistrate advising Mr. Wilcox to get rid of a girl who tad caused so much terror and uneasiness in his family. Mr. Wilcox, in the course of the investigation, said that he was convinced the defendant was in league with the thieves who attempted his house in the first instance, but failing, she had recourse to the above stratagems in order to terrify and al a rm th e f am il y . lie therefore paid her wages, and discharged her from his service. The hero of the following story is a 1 - lottentot of the Agter Sneewberg. I have forgotten his name, hut he was alive two years ago, when the story was related to me at Crado c k, i n t h at ne i g hb our h oo d. TJsis man was out hunting, an d perce i v i ng an an t e lope feeding among some bushes, he app roac h e d i n a cre ep ing posture, and had rested his gun over an ant-hill to take a steady aim, wh en , observing that the creature's attention was suddenly and peculiarly excited by some object near him, he looked up and perceived with horror that en enormous lion was at that instant creeping forward and ready to spring upon himself. Before he could change his posture, and direct his aim upon this antagonist, the savage beast bounded for ward, seized him with his talons, and crushed his left hand, as he endeavoiwal to guard him off tv,:th it, betwee n hi s monstrous jaws. In this extremity, the Hottentot had the presence of mind to turn the muzzle of the gun, which be still held in his right hand, into the lion's mouth, and then drawing the trigger, shot him dead through the brain. He lost his hand, but happily escaped without further injury. Thompson's Adventures in South Africa. CONDUCT OF FRIEND, THE MURDERER.— The fortitude of the prisoner did not forsake him when the awful sentence was pronounced, but we pereeived a motion o f his lips, indicating the utterance of words, which we hope was a prayer to the Deity, responsive to that he had j u st beard, from the Judge, for, mercy to his soul. Since his comtuitment he has exhibited, the deepest penitence ; and till within a few minutes of his being placed at the bar he had determi ne d to plead guilty, but complied with the m a suggestion of th e hune Governor of Alm gaol that he was entitled to a full investigation of the circumstances on wh i c h he was charged.. ;It is difficult to account for, the motive which i n d uce d hi m to commit so revolting and dreadful Crime; and this difficulty he himself. feels in its fullest ex tent. H e says his fi rs t t e mptation to isturder Miss Glass arose in his mind about a month ago, but he endeavoured to suppress it, and hoped he had succeeeded ; on the night of Monday last, however, when lie beard that the deceased were going to 'wet Mrs. Glas , , the idea again presented itself with irresistible force, and he immediately set out to accomplish his design. Still, he says, he had no intention of injuring the boy, until the unfortunate youth, by cou rageously attacking him with a stick, irritated his mi n d, excited as it, was by the dreadful impulse under which he had acted. Being asked, after his trial, if Miss Glass had ever offended him, he said she had not; that nothing but her constant refusal to his many entreaties to become his wife could have prompted him to lay violent hands upon her; that he had no cause for jealousy, no other person y he y r ea a rs si b m e il h a a r ; off li : ed • ; having,We un daesnftaart: that tknew during evetrhelnamdane ' an d- t h a t he never entertained a d es i gn against her'chastity. w ith Mrs. Glmse, he has b orne an unexcept i ona bl e c haracter for honesty, sobriety, and resp e ctable demeano ur ; nay more, he was st r i c tl y moral.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—LAUNCESTON, Anus, CROWN SIDE. James Eddy was indicted for robbing the wife of Cock, on the highway, of two half-Crowns and two shillit tt s From the evidence of Mrs. Cock, it appeared that as o : was riding to market, in February last, about six o'ci in the evening, the prisoner overtook her, and they ente r into con versa ti on . Th e y h a d n ot p ro c e eded far on , 4 1 road, wh en h e su dd en l y se i ze d h er , an d f orce d h er from 1 9 10 °' horse, and having, after a violent struggle, got her on ) ground, he tr ea ted h er w ith wan to n b a rb ar ity, and kne upon her with his full weight, so as to deprive her of al -, means of resistance.- While she was in this situation, to robbed her of all the silver she had, and then left her. The identity of the prisoner was proved by several persons, The prisoner, by his defence, confirmed the testimony of ° Mrs. Cock as to his being with her on the night in ques— tion. He said, that he overtook her on the road, and after being with her a short time, he made a proposal of a certain nature to which she assented"; that shortly after she fancied she heard some one coming towards them, and it was not till then that she had objected to any thing that had passed between them.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK considered the offence much heightened by the Mine of defence the prisoner had chosen to adopt. Every one who had heard it, must be satisfied that it was untrue, and his Lordship sincerely hoped that it would not be the means of making unhappiness between the prose cutrix and her husband, for it was quite apparent she bad done all in her power to resist his brutal force. His Lord ship advised the, prisoner seriously to repent of his pot crimes, and in passing sentence of death, admonished hid against . entertaining any hopes of mercy in this world. The prosecutrix during the time she was under examina tion was carried 'out of Court twice to save her from faint ing, so severely is she still suffering ,front the brutality of the prisoner's attack.
