SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, One of the tests of the value of the Reformed Par liament will be its honesty in searching into and re forming the corruption of delinquent constituencies brought before Committees on election petitions. The new distribution of political power, effected by the recent amendment of our representative system, was admitted by all real and enlightened Reformers to be imperfect, measured by the standard of popu lation or property ; but the Reform Bills received the hearty and enthusiastic support of the country, simply because all sensible men were convinced that a more extended Parliamentary Reform could not be obtained in the then state of panties, or through the medium of an unreformed Parliament. Hence the duration of Parliament, and the mode of open voting, were questions wisely left to a more auspi cious period. The Reformers felt assured that the Ministerial scheme was as extensive as could rea sonably be expec'ed from the Cabinet of Lord Grey —if not more than his Administration could success fully wrench from the grasp of the aristocracy; and that it would not be a final measure, whatever might be the intentions of any of its official promoters. The cases of East Retford and Penryn, with the maniac declaration of the Duke of Wellington against all Reform of the representation—insanely pro nounced after the solemn warning of the Frenchßevos 'titian of 18 3 1 3—demonstrated to the people the utter hopelessness of any justice at the hands of the purblind Tories. Further, no part of the " working" of the Old system more disgusted public opinion than the party trieks of election committees, where the To ries, b y y , , virtue of their numerical superiority, almost invariably protected the corrupt Tory constituen cies, and often unseated liberal Members, without even a decent pretence. Now the tables are turned, and we are. sure that there are within the House of Commons a sufficient number of honest and inde pendent representatives who will probe to the bottom the shameless and despicable arts and devices of corrupt returns when brought under their notice in " election petitions." 'We are induced to notice this subject by the perusal of the printed election peti tions in the appendix to the votes and proceed ings of the House of Commons (many of which will come before the Tribunal of Committees), and from the report of a singular public meeting, recorded in the Staffordshire Advertiser of Saturday last. The no toriety of the borough of Stafford—that sink of electioneering corruption—is sufficiently admitted without any retro.pective allusion to its memorable and venal contests. The electors never acknowledged any patron ; they set up in business for themselves by the disposal of their own franchises, and it is well known that the last comer and the best ls'ilder has been from time immemorial their successful candi date. The purse of the claimant for the " confi dence" of the burgesses was the grand qua! fiestion of his pretensions to favour—the only standard of value in the borough of Stafford. The biography of Sheridan, and the reminiscences of Mr. Ralph Ben son, afford ample proof of our picture of this noto rious constituency; when Sheridan's resources failed, his " interest" in Stafford was gone. The recent election in this borough—in treating, bribes, and " promises to pay"---by common report, has not redeemed its character. The common sense of the country would be insulted if the sitting. Members, the defeated candidate, arid all the electors swore " on a waggon load of new testaments," that the purity of election had not been violated at the last contest. Accordingly we find a petiticn against the present return (Appendix No. 21), as serting that Captain Gronow is not duly qualified, but " incapacitated to have a legal estate by reason of his being an insolvent debtor," with various al legations of bribery and corruption on the part of his agents or partisans, demanding inquiry, and requesting the House of Commons "to afford the petitioners such further relief as to the House should seem fit, either by passing a Bill for reforming the constituency, or by confining the electors thereof to the occupiers of houses of the value of ten pounds." The merits of this petition sve cannot prejudge; but we will say that the country demands a thorough investigation into its truth, and that the habit of election in such a noto rious borough should be strictly inquired into. This measure of justice is further especially re quired by the extraordinary proceedings of a public meeting of the Stafford electors, held at their Town Hall on Tuesday last, and reported in the Staf ford Advertiser. It appears that the petition in question was signed by about seventy electors, and stands ordered for consideration on the 14th instant. The Stafford Advertiser prefaces its report of the meetingas follows The petition was presented to the House on Monday-se'nnight ; when its allegations and prayer became known in Stafford, the wrath of the freemen, as may naturally be supposed, was highly excited against those, who bad signed it. Many of the supporters of Mr. Blount (tire unsuccessful candidate) liken ise united in deprecating this petition, on the ground that if corruption had been practised by any piirty it had by all. -The town, therefore, was in a state of complete ferment." This " ferment" was extremely natural ; and we find it publicly stated that the pe titioners were exposed to every sort of. obloquy and influence to withdraw their names from the " odious petition." A handbill was issued, of which the following is a copy : "TO THE FREEMEN OF STAFFORD.-You are re quested to meet at the Townball, on Tuesday afternoon, the 26th of February instant, at three o'clock, on very important ?natters CONNECTED WITH YOUR PRIVILEGES," The patriot sons of Crispin, alarmed fer their birthright, crowded the ball at the appointed time. Captain Chetwynd (one of the sitting Members), Mr. C. Flint, - agent for Captain Gronow, and their c hi e f supporters were present. Few persons would more sensitively feel than the profession of Mr. C. Flint the evil of disfranchisement ; and probably few persons at the bar of the House of Commons could more fully state the modes of Stafford elec tions. Mr. T. Boulton, one of the petitioners, read his recantation ; he averred that he signed the ob noxious document inadvertently, " in a hurry, and regretted what he had done." He offered the amende honorable—" he now declared that he would do everything in his power to avert the threatened evil; and that if any expense were incurred in op posing the petition, he would contribute, and that to no little amount.—(Cheers.)" We know not who this gentleman may be who thus " looks one way and rows another," but assuredly he must be a man of substance, and if an expe rienced elector and electioneerer, must have been a reflecting petitioner. The meeting then passed re solutions to meet " the threatened evil." Mr. Flint, the agent of Captain Gronow, represented the Gal lant Member's pistols as a powerful assistant in the common cause. " The Captain," said Mr. Flint (we quote the Stafford Advertiser)," is but a little man, but I bad rather Mr. Blount was in his own shoes than myself." Now among other matters of notoriety connected with this immaculate and af frighted borough, we all know that it has heretofore enjoyed impunity in election corruption, from the fact of all parties being " pot and kettle," to use a vulgar though significant term. But the subject is too deeply connected with the political liberties of the country to be viewed with levity or un concern. A petition of grave allegation has been pre sented, and stands on the printed records of the Re• formed House of Commons. Doubtless every local exertion will he used to " hush up" the matter of its complaint. If the p et i t i on b e persevere d i n , we h ave no doubt justice will be done ; but if it should not be proi•ectited, we trust that the independent Mem bers of the House of Commons will not let the Cr matter " drop. The imputation on the purity of the borough is either true or false. Parliament is affected with information of the deepest moment to the purl y arid freedom of elections. If true, Staf ford con option must be burned out of the body politic; if false, those who have abused the forms of the House must receive retributive punishment. This borough may have a " prescriptive," but can have no real right, to send two Members to Parlia ment. With a population of scarcely 7,000 inha bitants, and a few hundred electors, what claim has Stafford to the same share of electoral power ea- joyed by Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds ? These are the blots in the Constitution, which Parliament must erase from the face of the Con stitution ; and we trust and believe that there are honest men in Parliament who will keep their eye steadily on this petition and the borough of Stafford. The election petitions disclose a corrupt and defec tive state of the representation, demanding further remedial measures. If the Ballot is not conceded, some specific must be administered. The bribery of L•verpcol and Norwich stinks in the nostrils of •the Country. The" i►:fluence" in Hertford and War wick, detailed in the respective petitions from elec tors of those towns, cries aloud for redress. By such corruption has the nation been brought to its present critical condition; by the extinction of it can the nation alone be saved. The common apo logies for corruption, as a supposed necessary engine of Government, have been solemnly repudiated by Lord Althorp.—Morning Chronicle. The "determination of the Government to with hold, at least for the present, any proposition for the introduction of poor laws into Ireland is a bad omen. It augurs badly for the remedial measures about to be introduced that this, the most impor tant of all, is to be denied or postponed, and that the Tories, as well as the Whigs, have declared in favour of delay through the leaders of their respec tive parties. To the avowal of Mr. Stanley we have now to add the avowal of Sir Robert Peel, that the adoption of any system of poor laws for Ireland is amongst those matters which may be, not only with safety, but with propriety, deferred to a future day. We have also, on the part of Mr. O'Connell, something very like a concdrrence in the same opinion. Poor laws are, therefore, to form no part of the remedy for the evils of Ireland. The question of the Church Establishment is to be settled—the question of tithe is to be settled ; every question is to be settled, and every want is to be supplied, with the exception of the want of food. But can any man, or set of men, flat ter themselves that such an exception will not prove fatal to the whole project ? Will starvation be so far reconciled to the Irish peasant by the con sciousness that the Protestant Establishment is curtailed, or that the tithe is paid by his landlord, as to induce him to lie down and prepare to perish with a good grace, and with as little noise as possible ? There is no pretext for supposing so. When all hands on board a vessel are put upon short allowance, in consequence of the failure of her stores, it requires the utmost authority and address on the part of the Commander to carry even so rea sonable a proposition into effect; but to make such an attempt, without the necessity which could alone justify it, would lead at once to coufusion. It is so with a nation as with a ship's crew—men will not be put upon short allowance, in either case, while they are surrounded with plenty, without showing a disposition to resist the attempt. Tranquillity! there can be no tranquillity in Ireland, or any where else, while famine is permitted to domineer without any check from law. Despair woold rather sue to fear than to charity; and, if means be not taken to prevent despair, it would be more rational to think of preaching to the storm than to the mind possessed by such a demon. Indeed it is with deep regret that we contemplate the announcement of the in tention to exclude poor laws from the remedial mea sures for Ireland, because we feel convinced that, without bettering the condition, it will be impossible either to raise the sentiments or to calm the turbu lence of the poor. For this reason, amongst others, we lament that that benevolent and enlightened, though in some respects, as we conceive, mistaken politician, Mr. Sadler, has no longer a seat in the House. He, at least, would have stood aloof from the Irish aristocracy on this question, and exerted his eloquence to prevent so absurd a compromise as that which would sacrifice the more important to the less important consideration in the attempt to abate the disorders which have always unfortunately prevailed in Ireland. We repeat that no compro mise can be successful which overlooks the com forts of the great mass of the population, or affects to provide in any ether way for their contentment than by removing them from the constant dread and frequent experience of starvation.—Morning Herald. (From the Examiner) THE PLEAS FOR A TYRANNY. So spake the fiend, and with necessity, The tyrant's plea, excused his devilish deeds. " Undoubtedly," says Mr. Stanley, " his Ma jesty's 'Ministers have proposed a measure of a very arbitrary and coercive character." " The proposed law is founded on an uncontrollable necessi.y ; and the more its principles are at valiance with the Con stitution, the more strongly did it recommend itself to his judgment." This we can all believe ; it is the only part of the Secretary's statement to which we can give implicit credence. Lord Althorp advo cates the measure on the same ground ; he takes his stand oti its exorbitance, he makes evil his good, and contends that the very intolerableness of the law is its recommendation, as recourse will not he had to it on less urgent occasion. He says— " The fact undoubtedly is, that if in measures of this kind we attempt to take a middle course, and to mitigate the excess of power beyond the ordinary law to such a de gree as to make men regard it with less dislike than as Englishmen we ought to feel, we do snore mischief than is occasioned by Bills of greater force and effect, inasmuch as we may induce those in power to bring forward their milder plans when the occasion is not so urgent as to de mand them. * * * Therefore, I do not consider the dislike it will probably meet with among the people in some respects a disadvanrage ; and for this, among other reasons, I prefer the enactment contained in the Bill upon the table." _ _ The same plea would always warrant the demand for powers enormously exceeding the occasion. The authors of the massacre of St. Bartholomew doubtless pursued the same course of reasoning ; it was of an enormity that would not allow of light re petition. Murder is, by the same rule, better than chastisement. A blow may be struck with the hand on slight provocation, but if we never strike but with a knife we shall have a care of striking, witt.- ont those good reasons for murder on which Roderi go insists. When Mr, and Mrs. Moss rubbed red pepper into their slave's eyes and wounds, their coercive measure had the Ministerial recommenda tion of an enormity which would not be lightly practised by other masters. England has hitherto been a Mother Brownrigg to Ireland; and to tem per her hand she is now to take to the sword in stead of the whip ; for, as Lord Althurp and Mr. Stanley argue at the prompting of the double.. tongued, double-dyed, arch-apostate himself, instru ments of this deadly sort will be more reluctantly taken up in future. And why not improve further on the principle ? Why not make the law less likely to be drawn into precedent by aggravating its heinousness ? Why not declare the Viceroy Bashaw of West Barbary, make his word the law of the land, and the people bow down to it, and reve rently. murmur, " to hear is to obey Is" Honest lago had the reasons„which Roderigo ,required for the murder of „Michael Cassia. Honest Lord Althorp has reasons for strangling the constitution of Ireland. Every body.will allow, and no _one more readily than myself, that nothing but the most pressing necessity can warrant the course we rec anmend." This case of necessityfor suspending the liberties of a people, and sending the sword in mastery among them, he stated in a catalogue of crimes and out rages which it cost him an hour's breath to recite. It is obvious, that such a collection of cases, with an official license for attributing motives and co louring circumstances, may easily be made with very appalling effect, and yet without representing with any truth the state of a people. We have had hor rible barbarities in England. Let us for a moment suppose the Government of this country in Ireland, and a Secretary full of Hibernian passion and preju dice reciting the Newgate Calendar, and pointing out with due execration special cases—such as that of the unnatural monster Sheen, who cut his child's head off, but was acquitted, after the clearest evi dence of the fact, upon a technicality. The Irish man would argue with as much show of reason as Lord Althorp or Mr. Stanley has yet exhibited, that a people amongst whom such an atrocity could be perpetrated with impunity were not to be intrusted with the administration of law. It is not long since the terror of strange crimes disordered the wits of great numbers of people. The dread of the Burkers was so great that simple folks were afraid of walking after dusk lest pitch plaisters should be clapped on their mouths, and they should be thrust into sacks, suffocated, and sold to the surgeons. Lord Mel bourne, too, was lately alarmed for the safety of the State by the broad sword exercise of half a dozen poor fellows who were apprehended for this dange rous practice with wooden swords, and not brought to trial, the intimidation of ridicule having deterred the Secretary of State from going through with the performance of his gravest duty. A stone was thrown at the King, as the Tories say, by reason of the Political Unions. Bristol was sacked and burnt in honour of Reform, according to the same veracious authorities. Let us imagine an Irish Stanley, or Aithorp, in an Imperial Parliament at llablin, re presenting these and a hundred other instances, coloured by prejudiced witnesses, and crowned with the citation of a Grub-street ballad, as reasons for suspending the constitutional rights of Englishmen, and subjecting their houses to night-searches, and prohibiting their political or convivial meetings, and making their absence from home after or before sun rise a crime in this foggy land, where the proceedings of the sun are far from notorious ! We do not mean by these illustrations to deny the prevalence of law lessness and outrage in Ireland, but we mean to con tend that these things are always exaggerated ; and that, even without exaggeration, such a recital of crimes as occupies a statesman an hour—a night —a week in the oral delivery, can furnish no ground for invading the constitution of a nation. But we go farther—we assert that no state of things existing or imaginable can prove the expe diency of the proposed law. No amount of crime, from Cain down to the present hour, can show that soldiers have the qualifications of Judges. If the qualifications of Judges be not wanted—if, as we believe the whole object is to spread abroad the terror of punishment, better to decimate the people, pass a Bill subjecting every tenth man to transpor tation, and giving the Viceroy, or delegates of his appointment, the selection of the sufferers. The ad- vantage of this over the pending measure would cottsi•t in the security and ease of mind of the nine tenths when the tenth had been picked out and sen tenced. Under the proposed law, none can imagine themselves for a moment safe, because, if not ob• noxious to the Government, the magistracy, the squirearchy, or the hierarchy, or the police, or any one in authority, or any one connected with or having the ear of any one in authority—if free from apprehensions of enmity from all these quarrers, there is yet the danger of the prejudices or errors, or grudges of the soldiery; for well we all know that when the sword is sent out on any extraor dinary commission, it is apt not only to do and over do its appointed task, but also to cut out a little work on its private account. It is proposed that a lawyer should attend the courtsmartial as assessor, to instruct the military judges in the law of the land. If they defer to his suggestions, he is in effect the Judge; and why not make him so &redly, and in the most efficient way, and unhampered with chose whom he has to guide? He must do better without than with the ignoramuses. They can be no help to him; and the bundle of sticks impeding the working instrument, will have no civil sanction. It is pretended that the alternative is the courtmar tial or legal, or magisterial functionaries steeped in faction, in whom the people have no confidence; but the Judge need not, should not be Irish, for never will the laws be impartially administered in that country till the whole of the bench and magistracy be swept away, and their places filled with stran gers unwarped with local prejudices and party spirit. Lord Althorp, however, observes, " It has been mentioned, among other things, that a Judge of Assize might be sent down to try offenders without the aid of a jury; but, in my opinion, this mode of habituating the minds of the people to a new species of trial (tor new it would be, and without a single prece dent in its favour) by a Judge without the intervention of a jury, would he more dangerous in itself, and more un con,i itutional and detrimental than the plan we propose." Why, what is Lord Althorp proposing but to ha ' bituate the minds of the people to a new species of trial ? and has he not expressly advocated the Bill on the grounds of its broad and revolting deviation from all constitutional principles ? Have not he and his colleagues asserted that the more startling and unpopular the innovation, the safer and the better for the people ? The trial by Judges of Assize, he says, would not have precedent in its favour. And what precedent in its favour has the 'rial by courtsmartial?—the tnurder of Sir William Crosby, and the many other atrocities of the same period which yet live in the recollection of the peo ple ? His Lordship continued, "Another suggestion has been, that barristers, appointed by the Crown, should try criminals without the interven tion of a jury. This scheme, in my mind, would he far more objectionable than the employtnent of a Judge of Assize; because the seltarion would be made by Govern ment, and it must be from barristers who are in ex pectation of reward and promotion, in consequence of pleasing the Government; whereas a Judge, who had risen to the head of his profession, might be supposed, perhaps, above temptation. Such a precedent would be perilous to the Constitution and faulty in principle, and therefore I object to it." If barristers (having in the administraton of jus- tice the pride of craftsmen) are objectionable be cause they may be " in expectation of reward and promotion in consequence of pleasing; the Govern ment" (and Lord Althorp seems to have a pretty accurate knowledge of what will please the Go vernment, and implies it to be injustice to the people), what is to be said for courts composed of officers " in expectation of reward and promotion in consequence of pleasing the Government," and whose subservience will not be disturbed by any very lively consciousness of the injustice they may be committing while signalizing their zeal, and re commending themselves to the ruling powers ? There is notoriously no class of men so im mediately under the influence of Government as the military ; and though the influence be not actively exerted, there will always be a shrewd notion of the road to favour, which will move eager aspirants to anticipate or outrun the worst behests of theirpatrons. Further, we will assert that no one can have mixed in the society of subal terns in the army, without observing their contempt of popular spirit and popular rights, and their undis guised desire to trample upon an assertion of free dom, which may seem to rebuke their own state of constraint. These dispositions, avowed without shame, nay, boasted, were only to be laughed at while these men were mere trailers of sabres and smokers of segars; but when they are to be invested with civil authority, their animosities, their splenetic hostility to the independence of freemen, become se riously formidable. And if prejudices don't happen to rankle in their own breasts, they are sure to be infused by their provincial associates. All the Ministers have abandoned the Irish Magistrates; even Mr. Stanley admits that the powers called fur cannot be intrusted to them. Public opinion has so quickly and forcibly declared against martial law, that there is an extreme anxiety on the part of Ministers and their creatures to repudiate it, and it is daily stated in print and Parliament, that it is a vile Radical misrepresentation to talk of martial law; but Lord Grey's description of the Bill on its ' introduction was, that it embodied "a mitigated system of martial law !" It is pleaded, however, that the martial courts will have to administer civil law. The members, we reply, will be very apt to administer the law of which they have knowledge,. and it is not easy to conceive how they can admi nister the law of which they have no knowledge, except at the prompting of the legal assessor, in which case we see no reason why the assessor who directs should not perform the full office of judge. We ali know the story of the sign painter excel lently practised in painting red lions, and who was employed to paint the sign of an angel. At first lie suggested to Boniface the superior merits of a red lion, but finding him obstinate, concluded,—" I will paint an angel certainly if you insist ort it, but you must not be angry if she looks most con foundedly like a red lion." The courtsmartial will adminster a civil law, which will look as confoundedly like the martial as the angel did the red lion. Power without responsibility is despotism, and, true to the design, no trace of real responsibility will be found in the detestable project for strangling the liberty of Ireland, When the Bill was first in troduced, we were told that the mildness of the Bashaw would be a security against abuse; for our parts, we were not disposed to swear by his beard, but there will always be some ready to take per sonal security for public liberty. Ministers have since, however, proclaimed that if either their coercive, or their remedial measure be rejected, they will resign. What the remedial measure is of which they talk, does not very clearly appear, but we will suppose it to be the Irish Church Bill, though Mr. Stanley states, that the object of that treasure is to enable the clergy to live like gentlemen. But, waving that point, here ►s a tempting offer to the Tory Lords, who will assist in passing tie mea sure against Ireland, and may the next hour throw out the Irish Church Bill asel the M'nistry toge• ther ! What then becomes of the security 'against the abuse of these gigantic powers, in the mildness of the Bashaw ? The terrible instrument, shaped for the hand of the mildest of Bashaws, will be transferred to the grasp of the most pitiless. The Whigs will whimper, and put finger in eye, and whine that they made the thing for their moderate uses; but it is not thus that the rights of nations are to he sported with; the liberties of the people should neither be left to the mercy of any set of men, nor to the accidents of any conceivable change. These are truisms, but to the first maxims of Con stitutional Government we must come, when all is about to be flung down to the foundations. ( From the News.) DISSENSIONS IN THE CABINET. There have been rumours of varous sorts, and from various sources, propagated during the past week as to altercations, tendered resignations, arid breakings up of the Cabinet. It would be idle to deny that those things are sometimes asserted when relying on little or no foundation. But in the pre sent instance we know they are, to a certain extent, true. It was asserted in one of the evening papers that Lord Althorp had actually tendered his resigna tion to the King : this was not the fact, but on the morning when it was alleged he had done so, there had been a dispute in the Cabinet as to the policy of continuing or abandoning the military clauses of the Irish coercion Bill. Lord Althorp, whose opinion strongly inclines towards their abandon ment, counselled that step as advisable, and was supported in his views by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Lansdowne. Earl Grey, however, who seems almost possessed with an evil spirit in the person of Mr. Stanley, resisted this recom mendation, declaring that as the Bill had come down from the Lords, or in all its material points essentially alike, so should it be presented to the King for his Royal Assent. Lord. Althorp talked of, but did not act upon, a threat of resignation. This, however, which is the very object to which all the ambitious promptings of the Irish Secretary tend, the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer was for the time talked out of; and matters are now go ing on with a patched-up machine, that will stand together, with the mode of conduct they at present pursue, only so long as their exists no coalition or junction between both sections of their opponents. We need not point out the obvious duty of Minis ters under these circumstances; they can never hope to conciliate, or obtain anything but a hollow and insincere support from the Conservatives, who still watch the opportunity to " trip up their heels," although they would not be gainers by such an event ; for them to form an Administration, which would last a fortnight, they themselves own to be impossible. The natural supporters of Ministers are the representatives of the people ; to gait) whom they must abandon all Tory measures. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE. The sister of the, Marchioness Cornwallis waited upon the LORD MAYOR, and begged to he allowed to swear to a "written" statement which she bad in her hand, relative to a complaint made against her by the Marquis Corn wallis, at Marlborough-street. The LORD MAYOR told the lady that be could not, with propriety, allow an affidavit to be sworn I , efore him to a circumstance which occurred out of his jurisdiction. s.. The applicant, who appeared to be an exceedingly mild and placid per-on, declared that the rough treatment she had experienced from the police officers at Marlborough street, deterred her front applying there to be sworn. The Marquis bad, she declared, mistaken another person-for her, when he said that she had called frequently and caused disturbances in his family. The oath which she wished to take was, that she had not done what his Lord ship supposed she h al done. The Loan MAYOR-And what is your object in wish ing to be sworn ?—The applicant stated th it she had five puor children, who had been mainly supported by the Marquis ; and that, in the belief that she was the person who bad annoyed his family, his Lordship had ceased to send her his usual contribution. Tire consequence was, that she and her children were reduced to the greatest pri vation and misery. She was convinced, that if his Lord ship did not labour under this misconception, his humanity could not have permitted him to withdraw his aid. The Loan MAvoa observed, that it was always the case, that when a nobleman happened to marry a lady who had poor relations, it was immediately expected that the whole batch should stare his wealth a l lid luxuries. The applicant said that no such foolish expectation had been entertained by her family. The Loan Mavort—Well, you may depend upon it, that if the Marquis does not believe your simple contra diction, he will not think an oath likely to make truth of what he discredits. For my part, I wish that oaths were altogether done away with. The Loan Mavoa declined at all interfering. and the lady went away, evidently in affirction. G UILDHALL. DARING FORTUNE-TELLER.--.A female of the gipsey tribe, named Mary Jones, was charged with assaulting Fanny Swanton, a shopwoman at Mr. Button's, pastry cook, 72, Snow-hill. The prisoner, who said the com plainant had insulted her, was held to bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. BO IV-STREET. CHILD STEALING.—Sarah Craig, a young woman of shabby appearance, was brought to this office, upon a charge of having stolen a child of about four years old. It appeared that as Edward Osmond, the driver of a coal waggon, was driving his horses from the Adelphi Wharf, under the dark arch which leads from thence to the Strand, he observed the prisoner, with an infant child in her arms, which was crying violently. He de sired her to get out of the way, and imm, diately after observed her turn into a dry arch adjoining, where she proceeded to take off the child's tippet and bonnet, and to take from its hand a small basket, into which she put the tippet. He then went to her, and asked her whose child it was, to which she replied, that it was her own. The child, however, when asked where its mother was, said she did ❑ot know. Upon this, he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in her defence, denied the charge, and said the child asked her to take her home to her mo ther, which she was proceeding to do when Osmond gave her into custody. The prisoner was remanded till Thurs day. The child was decently dressed in black, and ap peared to belong to respectable parents ; she was in such a state of alarm, however, that she could scarcely be in duced to speak a word, and could neither tell her name nor place of abode. She was sent to the workhouse of St. Martin's, until her, no doubt, distracted parents can be discovered. Mr. Donovan, wine•merchant, of Howard- street, Strand, came to the office, and stated a case of petty fraud as a caution to wine-merchants. Same time back an oid gen tleman, of stayed and respectable appearance, called on him towards evening, to give an order for wine. He took the gentleman into his cellar, where he opened several bottle 3 of port, sherry, and Madeira, from which, after sufficient trial, his new customer msde selections. He then asked for champaign ; a bottle was opened and tasted ; he wished for wine of a higher flavour; another was opened and approved of. After drinking in this manner as much as he though fit, he ordered wine to the amount of LIM, giving his addretts—Mr. Snow, llighgate, saying he was a medical practitioner, and had a partner named Hill. Mr. Donovon made some inquiry, and found that the parties named were perfectly respectable. Having occas,on to make some inquiry of Mr. Snow previous to sending the wine, he addressed a note to him through the Post-office, and was greatly surprised at having it returned, being re fused. In consequence he went to Highgate, where he learned at Mr. Snow's that he bad been imposed on. Mr. Dono van, .orne days after, met his customer in the Strand, and was about to give him in charge to a police -officer, when some persons, who knew him, interfered for him, and stated that he conducted the business of a bookseller in Holborn. Mr. Donovan, in consequence, allowed him to depart. Q UEEN-S QUARE. CURIOUS CASE. —A young woman, named Elizabeth Tullett, was charged by her late mistress, Mrs. Mary Welton, baker, of Sir-street, Kennington-cross, under the following circumstances:—Last November t velve months, the prisoner enterer' the service of the prosecutrix, nil six months after she ingratiated herself with Mrs. Welton's daughter, aged ten, whom she promised to take, some day, a j Lunt into the country. A short time after this prornis?, observiug the child with 3s. 6d. in her hand, which she had just taken from a customer, the prisoner told her that the money would do for her to go into the country with, and the little girl give it to her. The mother of the child was in the habit of sending her to the drawers in the parlour, where the cash was deposited, whenever she wanted change for a customer, and the prisoner, under the pretence of Liking the child into the country, induced her to purloin both gold and silver at every opportunity. Mrs. Welton at times had as much is 1001. in cash in the drawer, and she believed she had been robbed to a consi derable amount. The little girl confessed th it she had ately given the prisoner three sovereigns and about 40s. in silver, at four or five different times. She also acknow ledged having rebbed the till in the si op during her mo ther's it , eence. and that the time was so remote when she commenced giving the prisoner money, that she could not recollect when it was. In all probability, this wholesale system of plunder would have remained undiscovered, had not the prisoner been taken ill with the small-pox, and removed to the house of a poor woman who was paid by Mrs. Welton for attending to her. During her illness it was discovered that she had several pounds in gold and silver in her box; and, in consequence of the prisoner having previously stated that she was not worth one shil ling, suspicion was excited and inquiries were instituted. The prisoner said nothing in her defenee.—Remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.—A respectable looking man, named Williams, was re-examined on a charge of utter ing forged notes.

Mrs. Hanmer made the following complaint against the conductors of St. George's parish workhouse:— It may be recollected, that some time ago, Mrs. Han mer came to the office and stated that she was the daugh ter of an opulent provision merchant in Dublin ; that she had lived for some time with a Mr. Mangles, an extensive sbip-owner, at the East-end of the town ; that on their parting, Mr. Mangles settled 1001. a year on her, and some time after she married Mr. Hanmer, a gentleman highly connected, and nephew of Mr. Calvert, M. P. After her mArri ige her husband went to India, and she renewed her acquaintance with Mr. Mangles, and, in con sequence, is now enceinte Mr. Mangles, however, broke off the communication, and withdrew the annuity, and she became so reduced as to be compelled to apply for relief to the parish of St. George, who had obtained a warrant against Mr. Mangles, to compel him to indemnify the parish, should they become burdened by his child. Mrs. Hanmer has constantly urged the ex , cution of the war rant ; she at last went into the workhouse ; and she now complained that she was not treated in any manner diffe rent from the other paupers, although the habits of her former life made such treatment a great hardship. • The Magistrates said they could not interfere; she must conform to the rules of the house.
