France abounds with young men who would be delighted at the prospect of a :gainst the members of the Holy Alliance, who, far r.re e indulging in their hatred to the present Government e France, ought to admire and acknowledge the ability ith which it has contrived till now to keep the warlike spirit so prevalent in this country, since the revolution of 1830, under control. The utmost praise is certainly due to the French Government for its exertions to that end, which has been so far attained that there is no longer any risk that any provocation calculated to lead to a war will be given by France ; but if the Sove reigns in conference at Munchengratz were, in their wisdom, to imagine that the apparent subjugation of that ,warlike spirit amounts to a total loss of the energies of ,the French people, they would soon find how dearly t)? 4 , might have to pay f or so gross an error . N or sh#uld they imagine, as their infoi 'manta in the Carlist liirterost assure them they ought, that the present Govern :jtient of France has so far lost its popularity, that few avould rise fur its defence, if attacked from without, with the view of a third restoration. One of the chief cases of hatred against the elder dynasty was the idea of its having been forced upon France by " foreign bayonets." It was the recollection of that fact, and the feeling it in spired, which urged on the combatants of the " three glorious days," even more than the flagrant attempt against liberty advised by the foolish Ministers of Charles X. The Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance must have known this; and if so, they would do well not to forget it ; for what ever grievances some portions of the French people think they may lay to the charge of Louis Philip, not a man in France, except a few Carlists, would hesitate to take up arms in his defence, if a war were to be undertaken against hie, for the purpose of placing any of the exiled race on the throne. Louis Philip possesses a merit which none of the faults attributed to the system of his go vernment can tend to weaken ; be has been chosen and elected by the suffrages of Frenchmen ; and even if the mode of his election is still deemed illegal by the ultra- Liberals o - Republicans, who have all along objected to it, the fact„ -eat the foreign influence and foreign interfe relive h.... othing to do with his election, would soon con vert th-; .1 eat inveterate dissentients into his partisans and defend :ivere' their objections to be taken up and acter upon b ,"oreign Powers. The ast accounts from Munchengratz inform us that the Re; '1 conference was to break up on the 18th, and the Eiimieror Nicholas would leave on the following day. In opiriasition to the statement above referred to, as to the intentions of making known certain conditions by a mani festei, some of the lettt:s from the neighbourhood of Mon cliengratz affirm that no measure requiring immediate action has b een reso l ve d upon b y the three Sovereigns, either at the late meeting or those which immediately pre ceded it. The funds rose this afternoon, soon aft the opening of business, but th e y afterw ar d s d ec li ne d to extent of 40 centimes, owing to transactions connected with the regula tion of the month's account.

During his stay at Leghorn, the Captain was informed that the steamer Carlo Alberto, on board of which were the Count de Mesnard and several other distinguished legitimatises, was at Massa di Carara, a small port in the bay of Spezzia, belonging to the Duke of Modena, where there was a depot of 18,000 muskets, which the Carlo Alberto was gradually to take on board, and, as it was suppo-ed, to convey surreptitiously to the coast of France, to arm the partisans of Henry V. Upon this information, the Perle sailed from Leghorn to Masa, where she found the Carlo Alberto. The Duke of Modena, on hearing of the arrival of the Perle, immediately sent down 400 armed men, to oppose any attempt at landing, or any insult upon the steamer, which he has taken under his protec tion. The Carlo Alberto was much annoyed by the presence of the French sloop, as her projects were thereby deranged. At midnight she weighed her anchor, and the Perle, the moment she perceived the other had departed, set sail after her ; but as the steamer Put on all the force she was able, she succeeded in getting away from her importunate convoy. The sloop then spread more canvass to overtake her, and as the Carlo Alberto did not hoist her flag, perhaps designedly, the commander of the Perle sent to her a boat with a❑ officer, to demand why she did not hoist the national flag on seeing a ship of war ? The commander of the Carlo Alberto excused himself by saying that he had taken the sloop for a mer chant vessel. The steamer was closely followed, but always found means to keep aloof from the Perle by the action of her machinery. Twice or three times she approached the coast of Provence, so as to create a sus picion that she intended to effect a disembarkation. It is thought even that her boats touched the land, and deposited objects presumed to be chests of muskets. Ac cording to information received, M. Mesnard was on board the Carlo Alberto, with a view to land in France and confer with his confederates, to settle defini tively the plans of an expedition arranged long ago, and which the petty Sovereigns of Italy encourage by every possible means ; but finding himself watched by a ship of war, he preferred landing at Spezzia, and postponed his return to France to another opportunity. The Carlo Alberto has just been descried making towards Marseilles. The telegraph has just announced it all along the coast ; but all these precautions are useless. With such agents as are now in and near, a landing may be easily effected any where. It appears that the Legitimatists were informed_ that the Carlo Alberto would arrive on our coast, as they have displayed much activity, held meetings, and spread news which is confirmed every day by facts. The tele graph has bee❑ constantly at work since yesterday."— Galignani's Messenger. FRENCH FUNDS.-PAR is, Seer. 27. Five per Cents., 102 f. 15c. 20c. 15c.

PARIS, SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M.-The " De puties of France," who were proceeding to Prague, to offer their congratulations to the Duke of Bordeaux on his birthday, have already met with impediments which will materially disturb the arrangement of that part of their plans. It is known that those who have gone by Frank fort have been stopped in that city, in consequence of the refusal of the Austrian Minister, resident there, to put on their passports the visa or endorsement, without which no foreigners are admitted into the Austrian states. As the refusal is avowedly founded on the knowledge of the object of their journey, it will be quite impossible for them to proceed any further, the only assistance which could be offered to them as Frenchmen—viz., the interfe rence of the French Minister at Frankfort, being neces sarily withheld, for the same reason that the refusal was made. Those who have chosen another road to Prague, are likely to meet with obstacles equally detri mental to their progress. The policy of this proceeding on behalf of the Austrian Government is scarcely to be reconciled with the statement which appears in some of the Paris papers, that a manifesto is about to be published by tl,e three Sovereigns who have met at Munchengratz, making known the conditions on which alone they consent to the preservation of general peace in Europe. Those conditions are not yet specified, but we are given to understand, by the same authorities who have announced them to the world, that they will prove equivalent to a defiance made to England and France, and can hardly fail to lead to a rupture with the two Powers last named. In some of our political circles it is, indeed, believed that the Ministers of France are by no means sure that general peace can much longer be preserved in Europe, and the words of two members of the Cabinet are repeated to show that, in spite of everything that 'oid a war, they fully expect that it will 1 spring. It is hardly possible to believe, the members of the Holy Alliance would, ircumstances, venture on a war against England, or even against France alone, )g England on their side; but at such the present, when they can mention no rich would justify,' their enmity in the 'orld, and when a mere war of opinion ;ainst them a host of enemies in their own It suppose that the three Sovereigns of the and their advisers have lost the use of their ilties if they have resolved on trying the .olutism by the chances of a war with France IRELAND. (From the Times Correspondent.) PUBLIC ENTRY OF TIIE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. Yesterday the most Hon. the Marquis Wellesley, K.G., Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ire land, made his public entry into this city, on his being nominated to the office of Lord Lieutenant for the second time. The troops in garrison were under arms from one o'clock to receive his Excellency, and proceeded to line the streets as far as Fitzwilliam-street. About ten minutes before one, a guard of honour, of the 14th (King's) Light Dragoons, arrived at Uxbridge-house, Kingstown, where he had passed the night, for the pur pose of escorting him into town. Captain High Sheriff Sir William Wainwright Lynar, accompanied by his brother High Sheriff Preston, arrived shortly afterwards, and were introduced to the Marquis Wellesley. The Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Meath, both attired in the uniform of Lords Lieutenant of counties, waited also upon his Lordship. At a quarter before two, the Marquis entered the state carriage, drawn by six horses, belonging to the Marquis of Anglesea, accompanied by the Duke of Leinster and the Earl of Meath. The carriages of the High Sheriffs preceded, and those of the Duke of Lein ster, Major Tandy, Counsellor M'Kane, with the Mar quis Wellesley's travelling c,rriage, followed ; a string of hacks, mingled with a few private vehicles, closed the procession. When the cavalcade reached Ball's-bridge, the Lord Mayor, several of the Board of Aldermen, and the other municipal officers, met the Marquis Wellesley, and after a brief conference with the Lord Mayor, Alderman Fleming, Mr. Graves, of the Head-office, and a few other gentle. men, the procession formed into the following order, and thus proceeded to the Castle:— An Advanced Guard of Cavalry. The Band of the sth Dragoon Guards. The Carriages of the High Sheriffs of the City. The Lord Mayor, in his Private Carriage. The Marquis Wellesley, in Lord Anglesea's State Carriage, flanked by The High Sheriffs, on Horseback, bearing their Truncheons. Squadron and Standard, as ordered by the Commander of the Forces. The Lord Mayor and High Sheriffs arrived at the Castle nearly half an hour before the rest of the procession. Some trifling cheers were heard at King William, in College-green ; but, excepting the military part of the ceremonial, it was an uninteres , ing spectacle. Each regi ment presented arms as the Marquis passed, the respective bands playing " God save the King." His reception by the crowds, both at Kingstown and Dublin, seemed alto gether of a very equivocal description : it could neither be called cold nor cheering. The peop!e seemed anxious to preserve neutrality for the present, and to abstain equally from committing themselves to any premature declaration of confidence or distrust. Upon his arrival at the Castle, the Marquis was re ceived by the Gentleman Usher; on alighting from his carriage the band of the sth Dragoon Guards played the National Anthem ; he was then conducted to the Presence Chamber, where his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant re ceived his Lordship sitting covered under the canopy, as Chief Governor. The Right Hon. E. J. Littleton, as Chief Secretary, at tended his Lordship to the Presence Chamber, bearing his commission. After a short conference, his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant intimated to the Marquis Wellesley that the mem hers of the Privy Council were assembled in the Council Chamber, and in readiness to administer the oaths to his Lordship in the usual manner. The following members had taken their seats at the Council Board :—The Lord Chancellor, the Lord Primate, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, the Lord Archbishop of Cashel, the Lord Bishop of Kildare, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, the Master of the Rolls, Lord Cloncurry. The procession entered the Council Chamber in the following order:— Grooms of the Chamber. One of the Lord Lieutenant's Pages. Mr, Holwell Walsh, Gentleman at large. Aides-de-Camp, two and two. Gentlemen of the Bed-Chamber. Athlone Pursuivant-of-Arms in his tabard. Two Sergeants -at-Arms, bearing the Maces. Colonel Gore, Master of the Horse. The Right Hon. E. J. Littleton, his Excellency's Private Secretary, The Rev. Dr. Vignolles, Dean of the Chapel Royal. Cork Herald, in his tabard and collar. Steward and Controller of the Household. Gentlemen Ushers. Ulster King of Arms, in his tabard, collar, and badge, With his Sceptre, bearing his Majesty's Letters Patent appointing the Marquis Wellesley Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland. Sword of State borne by his Grace the Duke of Leinster. Aide-de-camp Aide-de-Camp H E LORD LIEUTENANT. i in waiting. i n waiting. THE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. In this manner they advanced to the Council Chamber, where his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and the Privy Councillors being seated, the Marquis Wellesley standing on the right hand of the Lord Lieutenant, his Lordship delivered his Excellency his Majesty's Letters Patent, ap pointing him Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which were then handed to the Clerk of the Council, who read the same aloud. Ater the letters patent were read, the oath of Chief Governor was administered to his Lordship by the Lord Primate of Ireland, and then the usual oaths were ad• ministered to his Lordship by the Clerk of the Council. The Marquis Wellesley next produced to the Lord Lieutenant his Majesty's letter authorising and command ing him to deliver the sword of state to his Lordship ; which having been read by Mr. Littleton in a clear and audible voice, the Lord Lieutenant delivered the sword of state to the Marquis Wellesley accordingly ; and then invested him with the collar and insignia of the most illustrious order of St. Patrick, as Grand 'Ulster thereof; after which his Excellency took his seat, covered, at the Council Board, as Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland. Here orders were given that the rocket, from the Tower, Lower Castle-yard, should be let off; the ordnance in the park immediately fired a salute of 15 guns. When the Council rose, his Excellency proceeded from the Council Chamber to the Presence Chamber i❑ the same order and state as observed in the procession to the Council Chamber ; his Excellency took his place as the Lord Lieutenant; the sword of state was carried by the Duke of Leinster, the maces by the sergeant-at•arms, and were placed under the canopy in the Presence Chamber, upon his Excellency taking his seat on the throne. Du ring this time the ordnance, upon signal, as before, fired three rounds of twenty-one guns, and were answered by 3 volley from the infantry in Dame -street, and College green. The joy -bells were rung at intervals during the after. noon. DINNER AT THE CASTLE.--His Excellency the Mar quis of Anglesea entertained the Marquis Wellesley last evening to introduce him to the several heads of depart ments who were invited. HIGH SHERIFF LYNAR. The Marquis of Anglesea sent a polite intimation to Sheriff Lynar, requesting he would wait on him yester day morning, at the Viceregal Lodge. On the high Sheriff being introduced, the Marquis addressed Captain Lynar, expressing his high approval of the manner in which he had performed his duty as sheriff, redounding as much to his own credit as to the benefit of his fellow citizens at large. The only token of respect, the Noble Marquis said, he had in his power to confer upon him, was that of Knighthood, one which, as advised by the law officers of the Crown, he was empowered to bestow, and a mark of distinction he (Captain Lynar) so eminently deserved. Captain Lynar expressed how highly he esti mated the honour of receiving Knighthood at the hands of so gallant and distinguished an officer, and the ceremony was forthwith performed. DEPARTURE OF THE MARQUIS OV ANGLESEA. This morning at eleven o'clock the Marquis held a farewell undress levee, which was pretty numerously attended, particularly by the officers of the garrison. The following were amongst the visiters :—The Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Meath, Lords Leitrim, Cloncurry. Clements, Hearlfort, Bloomfield, the Lord Chancellor, and Hon. Messrs. Plunket, Chief Justice 13ushe, Judge Moore, the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney-General, the Soli citor-General, the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishops of Derry, Kblaloe, and Kildare, the Provost, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, the Lord Mayor elect, the Recorder, Aldermen Morrison, Abbot, Smith, and Fleming, Colonel Burgoyne, Sir Edward Blakeney, Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir John Harvey, General Cockburn, Sir Robert Shaw, Sir David noose, Commissary Generals Haynes and Elliott, Sir Arthur Clarke, Sir James Murray, Drs. Sadlier and Rae, T. C D., the Surgeon-Central, Major Sirr, Messrs. Graves and Tudor (city magistrates), &c. A considerable number of clergymen also attended. At 12 o'clock the Marquis, mounted on horseback, took his departure for Kingstown, accompanied by his suite and several military gentlemen and civilians, who had attended his levee; ma all about 50 horsemen, preceded by a guard of honour of the sth Dragoon Guards and their band, playing " God save the King." About 30 carriages followed. The Marquis wore his surtout and a plain star on his breast. He looked rather fatigued and anxious, but replied with much attention and courtesy to the few cheers that were heard as he paved, and which arose chiefly from a small crowd who kept up with him and his suite as they rode slowly through the principal streets and the road to Kingstown, where his yacht was in readiness, and it was expected he would lo , •e no time i❑ embarking. The departure of the Marquis was so very different from his former celebrated leave-taking when his recall under the Duke of Wellington took place, that it was the subject of universal remark. COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES dined with the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER on Saturday, at their seat in Bapihot.park. The Duke and Duchess of CUNIEERLAND entertained select parties at dinner yesterday and on Saturday, at their residence at Kew. Despatches were received yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for Viscount Par.- mEasTow, from Sir ROBERT ADAIR, Our Minister at Brussels. M. Van de WEYER and General GOBLET, the Ibslgie Ministers, had a long conference on Saturday with Vis count PALMERSTON, at the Foreign-office. The Marquis de FuNcovar.r. also visited the noble Viscount on Saturday. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has arrived in town from his naval tour of inspection. Sir JAMES visited Viscount PALMERSTON and Mr. Secretary STANLEY OR Saturday. WINDSOR, SEPT. 28. (From the Windsor Express.) This day the KING took his accustomed ride, but the QUEEN, owing to the unpleasant state of the weather, did not leave the Castle.

B. SURREY THEATRE. The long-announced romantic drama of Mary Glaston bury, or the Dream Girl of the Devil Holl, by the author of Jonathan Bradford, was produced, for the first time, on Saturday evening at this theatre. The piece is worthy of its author, and adds another link to the chain of entertaining dramas written by FITZBALL. The scene is laid in Lincolnshire, and the principal incidents are founded upon the following scarce old ballad : " Whilorne, in Lincolnshire, lived Mary Glastonberrie, Right lovely was the maide and unto' merrie : 'Twas in a boate asleep that she did falle, And drown't, as all thought, in the Deville Holle. But saved was she by our ladye's aide, Who in a dream did lighten forthe the maids ; With Will-o'-Whisppe through caves and waters deep, Again with friends to greete, who sore her death did weepe." The piece, as might be expected, consists chiefly of the marvellous, which, however, FITZBALL has taken care to mix up with so many interesting incidents, that the atten tion of the audience is kept alive from the commencement to the conclusion of the drama. The different characters were well sustained by OSBALDISTON'S effective company. Mrs. WEST'S Mary Glastonbury was a good piece of acting ; as was HILL'S Ernest Wald, and DIBDIN PITT'S (who was evidently labouring under indisposition) Ryan Gretley. MAITLAND is evidently improving, and sus tained the part of Frank Lyon much better than we ex pected. The drolleries of VALE and ROGERS cost us a hearty laugh, and VINCENT'S " Merry village maidens, how we gambol," was given in her best style. Osnar.nis- Tort has spared no expense in the scenery, which reflects great credit on MARSHALL, the artist. We were parti cularly delighted with the Wizard's Tree by the Pool-side, and the Outskirts of the Village, with burning Lime-kilns at Nightfall. The piece was eminently successful, and was announced for repetition this evening amid universal de monstrations of approbation from a crowded house. OSBALDISTON'S benefit, which is fixed for tomorrow evening, we trust will turn out a bumper. POOR KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.—HiS ieity has been graciously pleased to order that the designa tion of this order be altered to "Military Knights of Windsor," by which they will be in future called. As soon as it was known at Oporto that his Majesty's ship Nintlilies, Captain the Right Hon. Lord Geo. Paulet was ordered home, the British merchants met and presented the Noble Lord and his officers with a very handsome address for the protection they had afforded to British subjects and their property during the 1S months that ship had been in the Douro. Earl Grey has, within these few days, ap pointed one of his nephews, Mr. C. Grey, to the situation of Clerk in the Treasury. Mr. I3ayntun, one of the members for the city of York, died or, Saturday morning at his lodgings in Cockspur-street. The immediate cause of his death was scarlet fever, 'out the event was undoubtedly hastened by mental anxiety in consequence of pecuniary embarrass ments. Mr. Bayntun was in the twenty-eighth year of his age. His father attended the last moments of his son. PARISIAN FAstiloNs.—The Petit Courrier des Dames says that the powder, plaits, and sleeves, of the middle age are all coming into fa.bion, and that the style evidently assumed by the belles Parisieunes is the Gothic. Timidly tried at first, says the Journalist, and looked on as a rash attempt, this first advance to the an cient costumes has now assumed a singular consistency. Those who then declared them extravagant and unbear able, now find them charming. To plain and simple toilettes are fast succeeding those of a historical and rich character; in place of modest crape comes rich brocade. Buskins of Turkish satin, of the colour of hanniton (the May-fly), are worn ; silk gaiters also. LIVERPOOL GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL. --The series of entertainments prepared by the Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen, warmly supported by the Ladies Patronesses and the influential Gentry of the town and its environs, are upon a scale of magnitude heretofore unknown, as the following brief programme will show : On the first day (Sept. 30) there is to be a ball at the Wellington Ro oms —Tuesday, a Sermon at St. Peter's Church, with select pieces of s icred music by the princi pal vocal performers engaged for the occasion. On the mornings of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, at St. Luke's Church, grand selections of sacred music. On the evenings of Tuesday and Thursday, two miscellaneous 1 Concerts in the new Amphitheatre—Land on Friday, as grand fancy dress ball at the Town-hall. The whole is under the direct patronage of his Majesty, and party fel jug, So rife in Liverpool, appears to have given way to the twice•hlessed cause of charity. The influx of strangers, comprising most of the Nobility and Gentry of the county, u p to Saturday last (when the letter of our correspondent left) was very numerous, and the hotels, taverns, and ing-houses are e i ther occupied or engaged. Minor a musements are announced for the less wealthy part of the community, and a gran d i nterest i ng spectacle is anticipated on all Malibran, Phillips, and Donzelli ate the principal vocalists engaged, and there are many " others of note, but not of equal fame," in the list. The instru mental accompanying band is very strong, including, as it does, all the first-rate talent. Sir George Smart is the c onductor.

This meeting will he an anxious one for the winners on the Doncaster St. Leger, their books as yet being so much disarranged by the backwardness of some of the losers, as to leave many of the balances on the wrong side. This system of procrastination has prevailed to a considerable ex tent of late years, to the manifest injury of speculation on the great betting races. 'flae principal events to be decided in the course of the ensuing week are the Grand Duke Michael Stakes to morrow, a new two-year old stakes, c alsd " the Hopeful" on Tuesday, and the St. Leger on Wednesday, the first and third being p. p. races. Of the 24 horses entered for the Michael, Clearwell alone has done any thing in pu. , lic, and unless he be wonderfully changed, nothing can prevent his winning; he is now backed at odds against the field. In the two-year-old stake all are " dark" save Lord Exeter's Sister to Cactus, a bad mare, and scarcely able to carry 81b extra for her successful races at Ascot and Goodwood. The St. Leger is not unlikely to be a good betting race ; several horses of equally moderate preten sions will start, including Lord Chesterfield's Weeper, Air. Osbaldeston's The Tutor, Duke of Rutland's Shylock, Mr. Batson's Jessey colt, one of Lord Exeter's &c. Shylock has been backed at 5 and 6 to 1, and The Tutor will pro bably find friends upon the strength of his running at Doncaster; this time, however, lie will not have Robinson on his back. Looking at the style in which she won at Goodwood, we are inclined to suspect that Weeper will take " lots of beating." Very few arrival: have taken place as yet. The Duke of Rutland, Mr, Greville, and Mr. J. Mills, are here. Lord Orford, Lord Stradhroke, Colonel Peel, the Duke of Grafton, Sir M. Wood, and several others are in the neighbourhood. Lord and Lady Chesterfield, Colonel and Airs. Anon, and the other fashionables who have been on a visit to Lord 'Wilton during the Heaton Park races, last week, are expected this evening. The meeting will last four days, and is not likely to be remarkable for the quantity of sport. There is only one race for to-morrow, the Trial Stakes not having filled ;—the other three days do not hold out much greater promise. The " appoint ment" for to-morrow is The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, of 50 says. each, for cobs, Set. 71b. ; and fillies, Set. 31h. A.F. (24 Subs.)

M.P., by his fellow. citizens and constituents, as an expression of their appro bation of his firm, independent, and consistent conduct i❑ Parliament, took place in the Assembly Rooms, Ingram street.

ILLEGAL ELECTION OF MAYOR AND SHErtut-s.—Mr. Gregg has addressed a letter to his Ex cellence, the Lord Lieutenant, and the Privy Council, setting forth, in the most satisfactory and explicit terms, two moat important legal defects in the election of the mayor and sheriffs for this city, whose inauguration to office is fixed to take place on next Monday. A commu nication has been made to the Iri,h Government, by last evening's mail, with a view to procure at the hands of the Cauncil an immediate order to quash the elections and suspend the intended proceedings.-- Cork Reporter. SPIRIT or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Municipal Commissioners are proceeding on their important circuit, and executing their mission with equal courage and sagacity, by in vestigating the state of our municipal corpora tions, and exposing the knavery, while they excite the dismay, of jobbing, electioneering, guzzling, corrupt, Thecorrup periodical t, embezzling, appearance ing,ancl of plundering cthe Judges at an assize town is not more dreaded by a certain portion of the assize calendar than the arrival of these " itinerant inquisitors" (as they are called) is dreaded by the culprits of close corporations, and their accomplices in public robbery. The parallel between these two sets of offenders is carried further than their mere alarm at a judicial investigation or a public ex posure. The latter, as well as the former, ap prehend punishment as the result of a ver dict of guilty, and therefore are making every exertion in their power to pervert or to suppress the evi dence against them ; nay, in one remarkable case they have appeared at the bar of the Court of Inquiry, to be examined, with their counsel or legal adviser by their side, who advised them not to answer certain questions, lest they should criminate themselves ; as. if, in their situa tion and circumstances, the disclosure of truth would have amounted to the admission of a crime, or the proof of a misdeed ! ! Even their recorded acts—their legal in struments—the books and papers in which they themselves have consigned the evidence of their trust management—the results of their corporate stewardship, are considered to contain such strong proofs of corruption and malversa lion that they are withheld by the corporators on the same Old Bailey plea of not being obliged to furnish the means of their own conviction ! They thus have declined all further responses and every production of papers, and have ren dered themselves contumacious towards the authority of the Royal commission. Their town-clerk has been supported by their sanction, and has, at their command, resisted the summons of the Commissioners, which required, in the terms of the Royal order, the inspection of deeds, documents, and writings, accounts, books, and other papers relating to the funds and estates of the Corporation, particularly the production of a certain mortgage executed lately by the Corporation, together with the Chamber lain's accounts .of the last 10 years." The un happy borough, to the management of which we thus refer, is the borough of Leicester, and as its Mayor and Magistrates have exhibited the first instance of co/du/iv:city against the Royal Commission, we shall make no apology for entering somewhat further into the circum stances of the existing inquiry, and the grounds on which the Corporation rests the absurd defence of its deliberate disobedience. It appears from the official announcement of the proceedings of the Leicester Guildhall, in the Leicester Herald of the 25th instant, and from the declamations of that violent Tory print itself, that the town clerk had been summoned by the commissioners to attend them for the pur pose of being examined relative to borough affairs, on Saturday, the 14th instant. The court was very properly declared open, as it was conceived that there could be no secrets between the corporation and the commissioners,—as the inhabitants are supposed to be entitled to know to the fullest extent how their affairs are con ducted by their representatives (though they may have no control in their immediate management) —as there could not, by possibility, be imagined any reason why honest corporators should refuse to give the most unreserved account of their corporate behaviour in the face of their fellow citizens—as it was reasonably anticipated that, if any grounds of doubt or suspicion existed against their management, the burgesses who had facts to disclose, or official misrepresenta tions to correct, ought to be heard—mid as, in truth, the whole proceeding was intended only to obtain information, in the first instance, which there could be no temporary reason to conceal ,from the inhabitants of the place, when it was afterwards to be laid before the public of the whole empire. If there was any chance of disturbance, or any appearance of ex citement in the court, or if there was any inti midation threatened towards the witnesses, the commissioners, as presiding officers, were bound to provide for such a contingency, or to exercise their authority to prevent such an evil, as the authorities are in every other case of a public inquiry, front that of a Committee of the House of Commons on an election petition to that of a parish vestry in the examination of an overseer's account. Had an opposite conduct been pur sued,—had the investigation been conducted in secret, and had the commissioners received, with out announcing it, evidence from persons hostile to the existing management of corporators, what an outcry would have been raised against their inquisitorial injustice, their mysterious defama tion of corporate character, and their ex parte, uncanvassed, unexamined,unconfronted charges! Nay, the very inconsistent advocates of corrup tion, who call themselves Conservatives, seem, in their unmeaning declamations, to have pre pared even this as a double string to their bow against the commission, declaring—that it is, as an open court, "a daring innovation on the laws, preparatory, as would seem, to the I revival of a Star-chamb er COMMZSSIOII, or th e worst (lays of the Spanish Inquisition," How an open court, which is complained of expressly because it was open, is " preparatory" to the formation of a secret one, " like the Star chamber" or the '' Spanish Inquisition," we leave the Tory blockhead to explain : but we may assert, without fear of contradiction, that if time proceedings in the Castle of Leicester had been conducted in private, "' t h e S tar-chamber and the inquisition" would have been declared, not in a state of prepar a ti on f or rev i va l , b ut already revived. The Commissioners having heard other evidence from the inhabitants, called before them the town clerk on the 14th instant. This officer stated that he wished to consult the Recorder of the borough before he gave his evidence. The Commissioners very properly replied, or might have replied, that they would admit no delay for such a purpose ; that the town clerk hiniself was a witness, and was required to give evidence upon oath ; that he did not require counsel to enlighten his con science as to his duty of telling the truth ; and that in the present investigation they had nothing to do with the Recorder or any other judge or counsel for the borough of Leicester. On this the town clerk seems to have submitted to be examined, and con tinued under examination for four or five days, m a ki ng the most extr aordinary disclosur es the organ o f a . which w ere ever obtained from therefore corporation. Th e a ff a ir was pressing —the clan ger was great—the earth was yawning bene a th corporation e rp f o e r e a t ti o o f i ' l theseen tlon— to have witho sentut timely corporation—and orp advice or assistance all appeared to be lost. p,t
