SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. An interesting discussion took ninepin the House of Commons list night, on Sir H. Hardinge's mo tion relative to the conduct of Sir John Key. Th, ready consent of the Government to the appoint. merit of a Committee is a pretty good proof that ey are not afraid of an inviry ; and the list of the Committee, which is almost exclusively corr. posed of persons notoriously unfriendly to Mini sters, was not opposed by arty member of the CH. binet : three Members, indeed, were added to the l ist at the suggestion of Ministers, nor one of whom eau be considered a friend of Government, and one was Sir Robert Peel, who made (we cannot, of course, tell why) the mo 4 violently hostile speech whici , he has delivered this session. S'r John Key, it will be seen, has withdrawn himself from Parlia ment : whether this step of the worthy B Ironet is to be taken as a voluntary acknowledgment of the charge, or merely a modest retreat during the investigation of a personal question, we have nr, means of aseertaininz. The matter will, we trust, be thoroughly sifted ; for, as Mr. Stanley remarked, "gross misconduct has taken place somewhere."— Times. Mr. Wallace will this day bring forward his mot;on on the subject of Post-office irregularities. We have already, on more than one occasion, drawn public attention to the proceedings of which Mr. Wallace proposes to complain, and as there is no one topic which can more widely affect the entire constituency of the country, we cannot too strongly recommend to every Member of the House of Com mons the support of the petitions which will be presented this evening, and of the motions which may be founded on them. One of the petitions against the Po.t-office is, we believe, from the mer chants of London trading to America, and ano'her from the inhabitants of Greenock. It were to be wished that Mr. Wallace had taken a wider rang( on this occasion, and grappled fairly with the whole management of this e-tablishment, which is a posi tive disgrace to a great commercial country. If the labours of the session are, however, too far advanced to allow the task to be commenced now, let us hope that ttome independent and energetic Member of the House may apply himself to it early in the next fies.;nn. and compel the adoption of a better system. —Times. It was, some months ago, our disagreeable duty to notice the proceedings of the Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, in attempting to firce upon the discus sions of the Legislature of that i•land a secrecy which was altogether opposed to the wishes of the members. Art cent number of the Jets y news paper, the British Press, brings another statement of complaints against the same functiorntry, the Lieutenant-Governor, General Thornton, for invad ing the established rights of Colonels of the unpaid militia regimen's, sod arbitrarq cashiering one of them, Colonel M4rett, f -r acting upon the sense of his own ri g ht, and in defiince of die power assumed (he above-mentioned journal says unlawfully) 1 y t' e Lieutenant-Governor. It would appear that these several sources of disagreement between the Lieutenant-Governor and the respectable classes of people in Jer-ey, have not been wholly concealed from the higher authorities in England, and we think it much to be lamented, that if military men are prone to exhibit gut-dales, derived in all likeli hood from their profession, which tend to dis gust and alienate the communities over which, as governors, they are sent to pres:de, the practice of so employing them in the dependencies of Great Britain should still be indulged, to the rejection of non-military persons, who are genet ally more fami liar with the spirit in which the affairs of civil go vernment ought to be carried on, under a central administration, from which arbitrary power is ex cluded.—Times. One of the representatives of the c'ty of London, Sir John Key, has been obliged to take the Chiltern Hundreds, under circumstances not exile' ly calcu lated to forward his return by any popular ctinsii tueitcy. There is an Act of Porhamenr prohibiting Members of Parliament from entering into any con tract for the supply of articles for the public use, and prohibiting them from participating directly or in directly in the pt., fits of any such contracts. Sir John Key, however, has, it seems, entered into a contract to supply G ivelument with paper to the amount of 60,0001. The contract is no►, it is said, in his own name, but in the name of his elder brother, who has long since retired from business, and the paper has, in fact, been supplied by Sir John Key himself. But bad as this is, it is not the worst part of the business. Through the instru mentality of the Comptroller of the S ationery office, whose name we find to be John Church, a son of Sir John Kt y, a youth of eighteen years of age, was appointed to the uffice of Storekeeper, in which capacity he has to judge of the quantity and quality of the goods sent into the office; and us this young man could know nothing of the duties of his office, Sir John, according to the statement of Sir H Hardinge, discharged the duties for him; and though Master Key has never been at the office since his appointment, Sir John attended every day for him, and superintended the reception of his own paper, which was unloaded from his own carts. It is not stated whether Sir John, in his capacity of D: petty Storekeeper, was satisfied as to the quantity and quality of the paper supplied by him as contractor, but we presume that he was, and that no exception was tido n in any case. The statement of Lord Altltorp completely vindicated the conduct of Government in this ugly affair. In the first place, this John Church, Esq , through whose instrumentality Master Key was ap pointed, is not an officer of the appointment of tt.e present Government. In the next place, the Comp troller broke ground by recommending, on the va cancy occurring, that the office should be filled by a person younger than these generally appointed. The custom of the Wive had been, that the person appointed under the Comptroller as S orekeeper was some one who had been engaged in trade, and had not succeeded in business, and the Comptroller represented that these persons were not always equal to the discharge of their numerous duties. In the opinion of the Comptroller, the person ap pointed should not be more than 25 or 30 years of age. Having thus paved the way for a young man, Master Key was represented us 22 years of age. Or course the Comptroller took care not to mention that the Uncle of Master Key was the person who had the contract with the Government, and the Treasuty had not the least idea that the contract was in the hands of the uncle of the new storekeeper. Lord Althorn states that he was not aware of any of the circumstances of the case till Sunday or Saturday se'nnight, when a friend wrote to him to say what had taken place, and he immediately represented it to the Board of Treasury,in consequence of w hich the eppoinimerit was directly afierwaids cancelled. The bLst proof of the blamelessness of the Government in this business is the matiliness wit h which Lot d Althorp a! cnce con sented to a Committee of Inquiry. But Sir R ibt. Peel, with a want of tact for which it is difficult io account— as he must be aware that the public offices are all crammed with Tories, and the presumption is, that where a j b takes place among the ,fficers the jobber in nineteen cases out of twenty must be a Tory—seemed to think the occasion favorable for a party attack of Ministers. After dwelling on the necessity of inquiring Sir J. Key should be permitted to be the contractor in the teeth of an Act of Parliament, amid of its beite,:.known whether it was possible to evade this Act of Pattiateetit, and to permit the brother of a Member of Purliament tio.ninelly to enter into a contract, while the Mem ber himself was the vir►ual contractor, in order to guard against future evasion, by providing a more efficient legal remedy, the Right Hon. Baronet pro• ceeded to observe— " But, superadded to all this, was the statement that Sir J hn Key had got his son placed in that office, by which the quantity and the quality of the article furnished leas it) be ascertained. The N.tble Lord said nothing .1 the age of ibis young man. That ought to have teen inquired into. It was the duty of the person at the head of the department to which he was appointed, not to acquiesce in that appointment, bat to remonstrate against it, on account of the young mates age; be should have made a representation to the Treasury; for although the ‘ou h was then the sun of a stationer, it was impossible , hat I e should be prantiedly acquainted with the busines., any competent knowledee f which his age must have pre elided him from acquiring " This, as we have said, ought to have been deemed a delicate point by an ex-Tory Minister. Vir. John Church, though appointed by a Tory Government, may be a most disinterested individual, and it may never even have occurred to him that 'he son of a contractor could have any motive for revolt , ing that contractor in aseerrairrng the pin tity of the goods delivered by him. But there have been men in public offices who have turned their understanding with contractors to a good account. Who does not know that during the last war large fortunes were made by men in the subordinate offices of Government, by connivances of various kinds with contractors ? There are men who now hold their heads very high, and live like Princes, who entered beggars into the public offices, and left them rich without having any fair or intelligible means of acquiring that wealth. We have al.vays understood that during the war, contracts were often taken at prices at which no man could af ford to take them who had not a guilty un derstanding with men in public offices. But whatever the facts in this case may turn out to he, it is quite clear, from the statements of Lord Althorp and M. Stanley, that not a shadow of blame can attach to Government. " The cancelling .f the appointment," said Mr. Stanley, " was no re'ult of any inquiry in that House, nor even of any threat of inquiry. On the 28th of July it was repre amt. d that the young man was only 18 years of age; on the 29th a communication was made by his Noble Friend to the Stationary-office; and on the next day Mr. Key resigned, and the Treasury minute cancelling the appoint merit was passed bef .re there was the least notice of a motion on the subject.—(Cheers ) Here was the vindi cation of the Government. lie should not now stay to inquire into the conduct of the officers of the Stationary office, nor of the Comptroller; he should say that that gentleman was not an officer of the appointment of the present Government. If he had tnisconducted himself, they ought not ro he made responsible for him ; but with respect to the cancelling of the appointment, they had a right to claim the benefit of that act." Mr. Stanley also showed how easy it was to evade law, if the relations and friends of the real contractor would determine on committing the fraud of putting themselves lomat(' as the contractors. The cir cumstances stated by him, however, show that, as far as the public is concerned, it is of little conse quence who is the contractor. In fact the Govern ment can only he defrauded by the connivance of Government officers; and we fear that connivance, in too many instances, has not been afforded in a nig eardly manner. The rage for living expensively in England has led to a degree of sy-temattc, but, dexte rously executed, fraud of the public in men in office, unknown elsewhere. All this, however, wears an ap pearance of decorum. There is no paltry gaspillage— no hatf-guinea bribes as in Russia. But when men, not born to estates, live in a style five or six times more expensive than their known incomes warrant, with out fall•ng behind with the world, the inference is that something is wrong. The system of contracts, however, is as perfect, in other respects, as it can well be. " A contract (as was truly stated by Mr. Stanley) is not a matter of appointment, but of legal render arid acceptance. It is the result of a public, fair, and open competition. It did so happen too hat the contract for this year is five per cent. lower than for the la-t year. The person who made the lowest bidding obtained it. That person happened to be Mr. Key. It did not necessarily appear before the Treasury—and, in fact, it was not known there —that t he applicant for the office was related to the contractor." The truth is, that since contracts were put by Mr. Pitt on their present footing, the reason vihich led to the Act of Parliament, prohi biting Members of Parliament from taking them, can hardly be said to exist. If contracts are given to the lowest bidder, they are no favour, and may as well be given to Members of Parliament as to others. This part of the -ystem is as perfect as it can well be. If the Government be injured, this can only happen through an understanding between the contractors and Government officers.—Morning Chronicle. We are beginning to see our way to a little re lot m of our own in this good city of London, where certainly we are more accustumed to hear reform talked of than adopted. The City of London Gas Company, or, as it is more frequently called by those who are compelled to deal with it upon its own terms, the City of London Gas Company Mo nopoly has at length so far exhausted the patience of its customers that the authorities can no longer withstand the universal call for relief. Indeed the wonder is that, with a rival Company at hand, and an offer of twenty-five per cent. reduction in pros pect, the monopoly did not fall to pieces long ago. But there were some difficulties of an official nature in the way—there was a Board of Commission,rs the Commissioners of Pavements, to lie consulted. No doubt those Commis s ioners were all very anxious to do justice to their fellow-citizens; but they were still more anxious to do justice to the paving stones, and they thought it better that their fellow-citizens should go on paying 2.5 per cent. extra to an over grown monopoly than that the pavement of Fleet street should be disturbed by the workmen of another establishment. At length, however, matters have come to a crisis. The inhabitants of the parish of Sr. Bride have prepared a petition, which is to be laid before the Commissioners of Pavements this day. The inhabitants complain of overcharges. They ask for permission to contract with another Company, which offers to supply them at twenty-five per cent. under the present charge. We should like to hear upon what ground they can be refused this request. It is said that the Directors of the City Gas Com pany have been summoned to attend the meeting of the Commissioners. This looks well. It looks as if the Commissioners were resolved to do the r duty. Let us hope that they will either persuade the Directors to reduce their contract to a moderate sum, or compel them to relinqaish it altogether. Of this they may be certain, that the eyes of the public are on them. It sometimes happens in the course of things, that the Judge may be said to he more completely on his trial than the accused. So it is with the Commis-ioners of Pavements at this mo ment. Their decision, be it good or bad, will affect themselves much more sensib!) , than the Directors of the Gas Company, or even than the public. We trust that the Commissioners are sensible of the position in which they stand, and that they will meet in such numb, rs to-day as will prevent any trick from being attempted. The fact is, their cha racters are at sake. We warn them it is upon their own characters they are about to decide.—Morning Herald. THE LATE MR. WILBERFORCE.--The des h of this lamented and truly philanthropic character, has awakened many reco lectiuns connected with bis severe c fur the county (II Y rk.

Mr. CARPENTER, on behalf of a person of the name of John R ad. applied for an injunction of ne exeat rcgno against an individual named Wordsworth Dixon, and to restrain John Chapman and others from proceeding in an intended voyage to the Mediterranean. The plaintiff alleged by affidavit that he had, on the information and proposal of the said Dixon, fitted out a vessel at an expense of 2001. for the purpose of seeking and secuting a " treasure" of 400,000/. value, stated by him to be now lying con cealed in an uninhabited island in the Mediterranean sea, and an arrangement between them for the division of the " treasure" had been formally entered into. On the plaintiff's applying to the defendant to go on board the yes sal and to proceed with the adventure, he was met by a refusal, and he had since discovered th it Chapman and others had fitted out another vessel, and that D xon pro posed joinin. , them, and shoring with them the advantages of his discovery. The applic , tnt lad arrested the defen dant for a debt, but unless an injunction were granted he should be unabl e to d eta i n hi m , a nd the rival expedition would aril to-day. His HONOUR said that a sufficient ease had not been made out to enable him to issue an injunction of 'le exeat regno.—lnjunction refused. EXCHEQUER COURT, AUG. 5. STOREY V. JOHNSON. Hiq LORDSHIP gave judvment in this case. He said this was a bid filed for a petii..n, and the only point re in dning 'or consideration was the question with reference to the validity of a lease granted by the tenant for life, Richard Hall. . . It war true that Richard Hall. as tenant for life, had the p .wer of barring the remainder, over, and, as a con sequence, of granting a lease for 21 yews, hut this did not give a bar under the settlement, but by the destruction of the settlement. There were not grounds for a court of equity to make such an agreement binding against the remainder; there was no equity against the remainder man, therefore the principle of there cases could not apply to cases of this de'cription. There was no auth .rity or precedent to ,ho,tv that such a doctrine hail ev-r been pushed to the extent it was now attenityed to push The effect in equity would be that a tenant in-tail c uld grant a lease fur any duration against the remainders, which was a doctrine never contended for. He was of opinion that this lease could not he sustained against the third person, though it was valid as to the two other portions. The declaration therefore would be. that the lease was not binding against William Stannaid Jones, as to his third portion, and that there should he an inquiry as to any dilapidations which had been committed by any of the parties, plaintiffs or defendants, with liberty to report special citcumatant•es. An account was to be taken of the rents and profits ; and, as to William Stanuard Jones, the defendant, there must he an occupation rent. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE NORFOLK CIRCUIT. Buizr, "Iva. 3. 'LIMIT V LUC CE. This cause excited a very lively interest, which increased in intensity as the trial proceeded, from the extraordin ry and unusual nature of the defence. The jury were swot n at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and the cause was not finished till 3 o'clock on Sunday, the Court remaining crowded during the whole time of the investigation. The ladies, to the infinite disappointment of their curiosity, were ordered out of Court. Mr. KELLY sated the case for the plaintiff. The action was brought for a breach of promise of marriape made by the defendant. The plaintiff, a young lady of the age of 23, and of very engaging manners and great personal at tractions, is the daughter of a person who for 30 years k-pt a respectab'e boarding-school for young gentlemen in the vill ige of Grundishurgh, in this coon y. She is the third in point of age of four daughters, two of whom are extremely well married and living in London. The defen dant, who is only four days tie senior of the plaintiff in point of age, is the only son of a person formerly a hair dresser in London, and who, having realized an indepen dence, went many years ~go to reside in his native village of Grundisburgh. He there bought a small ratite within a quarter of a mile of the house of the plaintiff's father's, and an intimate acquaintance batween the two families was the consequence, and the defendant was hisinsel for two or three years at the school of the plaintiff's father, when he left for the purpose of finishing his education elsewhere, he being then about 14. Years passed by, the defendant returning occasionally to Grundis , urgb, when he hid an opportunity of seeing the plainiiff, and of be coming acqu inted with her ehar icier and disposition. He came of age in February, 1831, about which time his attentions to the plaintiff had assumed a more marked and tender character than they had previously done. He vi-ited at the house, and occasionally went with the plain tiff and some part of the family to the Woodbridge Theatre. At length his attentions to the plaintiff became so evident, that her family were induced to ask him re specting his inten ions, when he at once avowed himself the lover of the plaintiff, and promised, if she and all parties consented, to make her his wife; bi this all parties di i consent, and be was consequently received in the family as the future husband of the plaintiff. " One little month" hail hardly elapsed, however, tie his visits became less frequent, and his manner more distant, and at length be ceased altogether to come to the plaintiff's house, or to answer her letters. He was sent for, and said, in answer to Airs. Redit's remon strance, that " he should neither visit nor write to the young lady any more, and should give no reason, for if he loved a woman one day, th,it was no reason he should not 1 tve another the nest!" After this, all attempts at a re conciliation were ineffectual. Soon afterwards the fathers of both the plaintiff and the defendant died, and the latter c ime into the possession of property to the amount of 2001. or 3001. a-year. Mr. Srrgeant STORES, for the defence, rested his an swer to the action upon three ;Jona is—the first, that the defend .nt was lured into the engagement by the father of the plaintiff; the second, that she had herself been guilty of levity and impropriety of conduct ; and the third, that she had lost her chastity, and had had a miscarriage some years ago. With respect to the first, it merely appeared that about the time of the commencement of the particular intimacy of the parties, in February, 1831, the defendant and the plaint.ff's father were once or twice at a tavern in the village together; and that the latter dined with the defendant and a party there upon the day of his coming of age. As to the imputed impropriety of the conduct of the plaintiff, it was stated by a Mrs. Hunt, a former servant of the family, and by a young man named Garrod, who was some years ago a sctiolar of the plain tiff's father, that the plaintiff used when she was 15 or 16 years of age to go from her own bed-room to that of the boys, and stay there an hour or more at a time. And as to the third point, an old wont in of the name of Chiddick swore that she was at the house of the plaintiff's father some years ago, when the plaintiff was suddenly taken ill, and that she at that time had a miscarriage. Upon the cross-examination of this woman, she stated that she never mentioned this circumstance to a single person till last February ; that neither the mother nor any of the daughters knew of it; and that the surgeon who attended her had not the least noth,n of it, and treated her as for another complaint. In reply to this case, the plaintiff called her sisters, two oung ladies who were in the school, and slept in the same room with the phintiff at the periods to which the evidence of Hunt and Garrod applied, and they proved that the pl.iotiff never on any occasion whatever left her ioom, to go into that of the young gentleman In addi tion to this, Mr. Newson Garrett, who was at the school at the same time, proved that the plaintiff never entered the room of the boys at any tittle ; he was the oldest boy in the school, and must have known of it if it had occurred. With resp,ct to the alleged miscarriage, the whole family of the plaintiff, and ma n y ot h er witnesses, distinctly proved, in the first place, that Mrs. Chiddick, who was only washerwoman to the famity, never at any time attended or waited upon the plaintiff during her illness. In the next place. they showed that the plain tiff never was ill but once, anti that was with a pulmo nary complaint, upon her return from a visit in London, in May, 1827. Mr. KELLY, in reply, denounced the defence as bot tomed in the foulest conspiracy, and supported by perjury hi.herto unparalleled in any cause, or in any court. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, w i t h 5001. damages. GALL V. EAGLE, ESQ. This was an action for a libel, brought by an Alder man of the borough of Bury against Mr. Eagle, the bar rister, as the proprietor of the Bury p ress. Mr. Eagle was the reform candidate for the representation of the borough at the la st g eneral electio n , and is, on many ac• count ,, immensely popular in the town. Th e a ll e ged i i h t l conce.ned matters purely local, and possessed no general interest. The Jury returned a verdict fur the defendant, which was received with repeated bursts ofapplause, which were renewed outside the Court as soon as Mr. Eagle made his appearance. A beggar, said to be the husband of Madame SAQUI, the celebrated rope-dancer, banged hnueelf, at Cambray, in a cellar, on the 24th ult. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A journeyman tailor, named Tibbs, was brought before the LORD Alayou charged with having mistaken a r. mnant of black cloth for "cabbage," and appropriated it accordingly. A hatter, who resides in Leadenhall-street, very pro perly directed a pike officer to take the prisoner into cus tody. The prisoner had offered the cloth for sale to the hatter, who suspected that it had been stolen, and udra , questioning the tailor, received such answers as convinced him that he was right in his conjecture. The tailor said that the cloth was a mere morsel from which patterns had been cut, and that it was kickine about the shop, and of use to nobody until be took it up The LORD Maroa—You mean, I suppose, that it was nothing but cabbage? Tailor—Jist nothing else, my Lord, we don't thick it no wice for to jilt take a bit as is lying about. The LORD MAYOR—And are you in the habit of taking such large pieces as this? Tailor—No, my Lord, I never took any before. The LORD MAYOR—Because if you do you will soon mistake •a man's coat for a cabhay.—(Laughter.) Tailor —No, my Lord, it's quite duff-rent; sorry I picked up this here; but I meant no harm, and when we picks up a little thing, you see, my Lord, we never thinks of stealing of it. The LORD MAYOR—No, ; there's no such thing amongst you as robbery. Journeymen tailors are all very honest men. They never rob, they only cabbage.— (Great laughter.) A tailor stated that he knew the prisoner to be an honest man, and that pattern pikes when done with were considered the property of the shopm in. The LORD MAYOR—But this pattern piece has not been begun with.—(Laughter.) Come tell me, if you were deprived of a piece of cloth like this, what would you call the act, a robbery or cabbage?—(Laughter.) Witness—l assure you, my Lord, I would nut consider it an act of dishonesty. The Loan MAYOR—I assure you, you shall never make a coat for me, for you wouldn't give such latitude to a thief if you didn't cabbage a little too widely yourself. —(Laughter.) It. ought the mystery of cabbaging was confined to master tailors, and I am greatly mistaken if they would not consider this ease an invasion of their pri vileges. As the prisoner's master does not appear I shall discharge him, but if the master were present I could not he prevailed upon to overlook a palpable theft because an ingenious title is given to it. The journeyman tailor and his witness then sneaked out of the room, very unlike heroes of the goose. BATTON-GARDEN: Yesterday Mr. Thomas Watford, a carpet-manufacturer, of Kidderminster, attended at this office, in company of his son, residing in Gloucester-street, Clerkenwell, to solicit the advice and assistance of Mr. LAING how to proceed under the following extraordinary circumstances:— About tour yeats airier, the wife of Mr. Wa!ford, sen., died, and being anxious to place his only daughter, who was then 14 ye trs of age, under the protecti..n of some female, he applied to one of his relatives, who is a married man, residing in London, holding a responsible situation, ho consented to receive the gill into his house, and for her to assist in its domestic affairs. He hats frequently written to London, inquiring after her, and received answers that she was doing very well, and was in perfect health ; and on the death of her brother, he communicate,: the event to his relative, requesting that she might he sent down in order to a•tend the funeral, when he received an answer that she was too unwell to accomplish the jour ney, and although the individual (her protertor) had seve ral times since visited Kidderminster, and knew where to find applicant, he never called upon him to acquaint him how his child was going on, and he heard no more of her until October last, when be received a letter from his son, informing him that his daughter was suddenly missed from the heti , e of her relative, who would not give any aids factory account as to her disappearance. He accordingly wrote to his son, urging him to mike every inquiry into the matter, and the only account he could obtain was, that his (applicant's) daughter slept with another girl, and that she got out of bed at half•past six o'clock in a morning in November last, and, after having packed up the whole of her clothes, she decamped, and had not since been heard of. Several other applications were made, but the person alluded to persisted in saying that he knew nothing at all about the girl ; he would nut rive any satisfaction to her father ; and his not having advertised her, and other circumstances, induced applicant to suspect that his daughter had been murdered, or that she ft ad been seduced, and secretly put out of the way to prevent exposure. The persons who lived in the same house, and neigh .ours, were also astonished at the sudden d sa,ipeatance of the girl. Mr. Watford, jun., also strongly suspected some unfair play. and he made an application to Mr. Sergeant Sella% of this office, for hie advice, when he informed him he could do nothing for him without the presence of the girl's father, and information to that effect having been forwarded to him at Kidderminster, he ar rived in town, and yesterday morning, in company with his son. made an application at the house of her protector, who refused to give any satisfactory account of her, fur. ther than that she had got up in the morning, had run away, and had not since been heard of. Applicant was much affected while he made his statement. Mr. LAING could not interfere, and recommended him to apply to a judge tor an habeas corpus. He quitted the office with his son, expressing his deter mination to follow the magistrate's advice. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION OF " Gonowitu."—The composition, or the compilation, of this work has been attributed to various persons, some of note sufficient to make me fancy that it has a merit of which I was not at first properly aware. It is not for me to contradict such flattering reports. Let me content myself with laughing in my sleeve at the mistakes that have occurred in affiiiating a foundling which can make but one step Irmo the cradle to the grave. The real writer of " GODOLPHIN" is yet, and ever will be, unre veiled. He enjoys the satisfiction of giving to the world the fruit of his thoughts, his speculations, and his ex perience —he leaves to others the responsibility of his errors. Some indeed, say, that this book is a trifle of Mr. D'lsttAom's ;—others, that it is either an imitation of Mr. BULWER. or a bantling he has good reason to dis own. I have heard it attributed is Colonel CARADOC— and to Mrs. NORTON-to the Turkish Ambassador—and to the joint labours of Mr. who is living, anti Lady CAROLINE L-- who is no more. I suspect that none of these conjectures are right; but I am so much pleased with them all that I will not venture decidedly to con cradiet one of them. This much will I say, that as no woman would have written sonic parts of the book, so no man could have written the whole ; and that it is soberly and bona fide far more of a biography than a romance. One who writes from experience cannot imitate; and yet perhaps he (I use the masculine gender for conve nience) cannot wholly escape the style and manner adopted by his contemporaries. The same cau-es that formed the fashion in which they express themselves, formed also his own method of thought and peculiarities of diction. I see the principle and moral of this Book slowly working their way. To tell truth of one period, is to prophesy the events of the next. Adieu, Reader ; wouldst thou see roe unmasked—thou must come behind the scenes of chi' world; and when the lamps are out, and the curtain dropped, thou sh.lt know me for what I am. But there is only one authority who can admit you behind those scenes—and his name is—DEATH !

LISBON. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) We give the following three private letters, which contain a relation of important events that have- occurred at Lisbon ; other particulars will be found in our postscript, but to the whole we have to add this finale—" Miguel is off for Spain." We have this fact from a note from one Cabinet Minister to another : " His Majesty's ship-, Lisbon, July2.s " I wrote a few lines by the African steamer, which sailed two days ago, in which I told you that the constitutional army was only 20 miles distant, on the south of the Tagus. Lisbon has already declared for Donna Maria, and I will give you the particulars, which I think you will find interesting. At daylight on the 23t1 we found that a telegraph situated about nine miles up the river wasburnt to the ground ; this was the first indica. tion we had of the near approach of Don Pedro's army. During the morning a great many soldiers were sent from Lisbon to the south of the Tagus, to meet them, making, with those sent during the last few days, about 3,000. At six o'clock in the evening the fort of Almeida, which is close to where we lie, fired a few guns in the direction of the country, which led us to think that the action was going on. We could not see it, as the land along that side is very high, we saw a great deal of firing at Cacillas, after dark, with musketry. Yesterday morning, to our great delight, we observed Donna Maria's colours flying at that place. At seven o'clock Almeida Fort surrendered, and was taken possession of by Pedro's soldiers, who hoisted Donna Maria's colours ; before eight o'clock the citadel in Lisbon did the same ; and by noon every fort and vessel in the river had hoisted Donna Maria's flag. Almeida fort hoisted the English colours at half-past eight yesterday morning, and fired a royal salute, which was re turned by our squadron. Admiral Parker and the captains of the English ships left the Asia at nine, to pay a visit to the Duke of Terceira, and returned at noon. We were informed that the Miguelite soldiers met the others at three o'clock in the afternoon, when part of Miguel's cavalry changed to the other side. After an engagement which lasted three or four hours, Miguel's soldiers were defeated. The General was killed, after which his hands were cut off, and he was buried in the sand : some of the people again dug him up, and cut him in small pieces. I think this was done by the Portuguese themselves, as they say he caused the distress of a great many families. All yesterday morning the Pedroites were crossing to Lisbon. I went on shore in the afternoon, on the south side, and crossed to Lisbon. You may imagine what a state of confusion the city was in, nearly every person armed with a sword or a musket, and all with blue and white ribands in their coats and hats. A few persons were (I believe) killed : two were killed nearly close to me. I saw a carriage broken to pieces by the mob, belonging, I was told, to a judge who consented to a man being strangled the day before for some political offence. This man suffered in one of the principal squares, at the very time the troops were engaging on the other side; a man was strangled a fortnight ago for get. Ling deserters away. When the governor of the city heard of the defeat of the Portuguese soldiers, he called the police, and such soldiers as were in Lisbon late at night, and told them to retire into the country, thus giving up the city. In the morning the populace released all the prisoners; in some gaols there were as many as 500. All that I have been writ ing about took place in less than 24 hours. The Donegal and Talavera shifted yesterday afternoon close to the two principal squares. Admiral Felix, who commanded the Portuguese squadron last summer, came on board for protection from the fury of the mob yesterday before breakfast ; he went ashore early this morning in one of our boats, thinking himself safe, but the people took him prisoner soon after, and I hear his life is in danger; all order is at an end for the present. A person who shot another yesterday went up to one of our gentlemen and told him what he had done, showing him his musket. The Portuguese are exceedingly civil to the Eng lish. I received several salutes and visas. You have, of course, seen a full account of the brilliant action fought by Captain Napier, so it is not necessary for me •o say any thing about it. Eleven, 15, p.m.—Admiral Felix's son is just come on board to ask the Admiral to protect his father. lam told he is to come on board again to-night. The town was illuminated last night. Admiral Napier is just coming up the river with his ships ; he is in the Don John. A packet arrived yesterday; she brought the news of a very great action being fought at Oporto, in which the Miguelites were defeated. Of course the Portuguese war is now at an end, and as soon as the news reaches Oporto from this place, Miguel will give in. The hearts of the people are now pretty well known. The George the Fourth steamer, lately hired by Don Miguel, is anchored close to us; she is afraid to go out for fear of the forts. Her Captain has been on board three or four times in great fright. " Lisaosi, JULY :4.-The game is all up with Don Miguel, though it is possible they may yet risk another battle, for all his troops left Lisbon yesterday and to-day to join, it is supposed, those in the north. Two days since Don Pedro's troops took possession of St. Übes, 15 miles to the southward of this port, assisted by the Old Lion of Ponza (as I call him) Captain Napier, and yesterday a severe battle was fought between the Pedroites and Miguelites, about 5 miles off; on the south side. The atter were defeated with the loss of 2,000 in killed and wounded ; amongst the former was the Miguelite General, the cruel Telles Jordao, who treated the prisoners in St. Julian's so ill. At 11 o'clock last night they obtained possession of the principal fortress opposite Lisbon, and this morning the one on the heights (called Almeida) gave up. The citadel of Lisbon shortly after hoisted Donna Maria's colours, and sa luted. Most of the places have now given in about here, and one of the King's boats has just passed us with a General Offi cer, on his way to St. Julian's, to hoist the flag of her Most Faithful Majesty. Before evening we expect the Old Lion of Ponza in, to make all right here. A small vessel is despatched to inform him of what has taken place, and it is not unlikely but we may be sent to Brest, to bring her little Majesty to Lisbon. A whole regiment of cavalry passed over to Don Pedro in the fight yesterday, and they are now crossing over with other troops to take possession of the different posts in the city. Ourselves and the Donegal have moved higher up the river, one opposite the Caes de Sodre, and the other oppo. site Black Horse square. Upon the whole, I cannot think the Miguelites will rally, for when the news arrives at Oporto, such is the weather-cock nature of the Portuguese, one.half will declare for Don Pedro, and a great part or the other half also. We all admire the gallantry and determination of Cap tain Napier in capturing the Miguelite squadron, and the com. wander of the troops (Villa Flor, now Duke of Terceira) told the Admiral to-day that Napier had set the example for their activity and determination. lam truly glad of it, and wish him all honour. He would have lost himself, most likely, as Lord Cochrane did, had he been so unfortunate as to have been elected for the borough of Portsmouth ; a ship is his proper sphere, and he has now made a splendid fortune. The crews of the two corvettes which had escaped from Napier had been sent to St. Julian's Fort on the arrival of these vessels. They have turned over to Donna Maria.

ALARMING PROGRESS OF CHOLERA.-- On Saturday an Inquest was held at the Three Com passes, SAO -street, Glden.square, on the body of CARO. LINE DOUJLAS, aged 39.—Mr. JOHNSON, surgeon, of Broad-street, said that on Monday evening he was called in to attend the deceased, whotn be found suffering dread• fully from cramp, and all the symptoms of cholera. They were of a more malignant character than usual, and she died in a few days. Her husband had been also attacked, and was then slowly recovering. Verdict—Died by the visitation of God, from cholera. On the same day, an inquest was held at the Penitentiary, Millbank, on the body of two prisoners, named ELLEN M‘LkuaHLIN and GEORGE SMART, who died of cholera morbus—the last dbeisienagle within the last thefourthdeatl tinen days. that Institut ion from the same STATE OF THE PRESS IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—The proprietor of the Mans Sun has the follow ing dolorous remarks in answer to the reproaches of a correspondent, who complained of some omissions and ne ghgences in his Journal :—" In this island, such is the state of the press, that it cannot afford to defray the ex penses of either editor or reporter; consequently the duty, beyond that of compiling, may be considered as entirely gratuitous; both our predecessor and self may fairly be considered as amateurs.
