SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. •The shame which. every honest. man must have felt at the disclosure of such abominations as were proved against the agents and supporters of the two Tcry Lords at Hertford, could only. be exceeded , by that of ..witnessing the open des fence of such crimes-by Members of the House of Commons. It ijs to be ObserVed, however, that Lords: IngeStrie -and Mahon, the unseated Members, were ,- but passengers." They were to have been the mere puppets of a Noble Mar quis, whose interest in the domination exercised by him over that foul and degraded borough was coosidered to be solid and imperishable. The practices resorted to for crushing every at tempt at opposition to. the Salisbury 'power in Hertford were alike consistent, in, their nature and their end, with the arguments used imme morially by the boroughmongers against the re form of Parliament. The end was, a supremacy over the House of Commons by the Peers ; and the means were, flagrant and villainous cor ruption. Had the scheme succeeded, and not been judicially detected as it is, the IL form Bill, in so far as concerns Hertford, would have been wholly set aside, and a substitute for the worst sty of political baseness to he found in schedule A would have been established in this wretched community of more than six hundred voters, the insjority of whom were rendered by their position, and by the defective construction of the late Bill, vile slaves and tools of the - feudal tyranny of Hatfield. That Lord Granville Somerset. Mr. Wynn, and Mr. Goulburn, should have signalized their zeal on this occasion was no more than might have beers expected. They resolved to die " with har ness on their backs." If we understood Mr. Wynn correctly, that grave Grenville was asto nished at the small amount of profligacy dis covered against the constituents of Hertford, and would have confined the vengeance of Par liament to those knaves who were clumsy enough to be found out. However, this is clear ; peo ple may rail against the endeavours now and then made to build additional means of improve ment and further advances of public liberty on the Reform Bill, exclaiming ~ Where is thi , to end ?" but surely they cannot be so unreasonable as to censure the Government and the other friends of reform for adopting whatever means may hest secure the application of principles which have been already recognised by Parlia ment, anti may supely the defects no otherwise to he made known than by progressive experi ence in the frame of the Reform B;11 itself for maintaining and enforcing the purity of election and wresting the representation of the people of England from the usurping gripe of the other House of Parliament.— Times. It is impossible to witness the conduct of the great mass of Irishmen of landed property, whe ther great or small, whenever the question of poor laws arises, without bein g persuaded that it is to such men, and to their hardened selfish ness, the wretched condition of the peasantry of Ireland ought in common justice to be attributed. The case is briefly this :—The Irish suffer from poverty, in its various forms, a greater excess of pain amid privation than is known to any other portion- of the British empire. Sickness, in fancy, old age, want of employment, have in that part of the United Kingdom, and that alone, no relief or alleviation provided for them by law. Certain political circumstances in Irish history acted, for a whole generation, as inducements to the landlords of the country to stimulate the growth of that class of poor who are most ex posed to evil consequences from vicissitudes in markets and in the demand for labour. A diffe rent train of circumstances having taken place, and superseded the demand for a small tenantry by one fin the security of rent, and for an improved cultivation, which are not to be ex pected from overpeopled estates, the tenantry railed into existence since 1793 are now, in 1833, found to be a nuisance, and expelled accordingly without a pretence to humanity or mercy. The question, then, the primary ques tion, is how to cure that indifference of the landlords towards the population, which it has long been their scheme to multiply, and for the sufferings ss hich their own policy has enhanced if not wholly creatt d ? So keg as the Irish landlord has no interest more direct or imme diate than that of mere humanity in the wellbeing of the circumjacent poor, so long will those poor be sunk in the most abjr ct and degraded misery. The philanthropist and statesman have long seen that in England there is nothing to corn pare with the dreadful condition of the unem ployed and unoccupying Irish peasant, and they say give poor laws to Ireland. No, says the Irish gentleman, they would destroy the fine feelings, and demoralize the Irish people. But we do answer cui bond the fine feelings, cid bond the morality of which you are so tenacious ? Do they clothe, and feed, and house the unhappy Irish ? Po they raise him above or to a level with the la !routing Englishman ? No, it cannot be so as seller!, Ihe Irish poor, with all the fine un checked sensibilities at their back, are in a condition incomparably more ruinous and deso late than that of the poor of England, with no resources against destitution but coarse and con fessedly ill-administered poor laws. So sensible, indeed, are the peasantry of Ireland themselves of this difFcrence, and so strikingly do they ia practice repudia-e the boasted quark nostrum of Acne feelings, as to flock over to Great Britain tiy tens of thousands every year, and to take their chalice of what may he gained or endured where the c, mtnunity has long . been afflicted with those very poor laws which ingenious Irish legislators, with large estates iii land, are too tender and provident to hear patiently of intro ducirg into their own realm, as supporters of the throne of charity and lamine. There are many who see io Mr. O'Connell's avowed antipathy to poor lattsois a remedy forthe dreadful coialition of his country, a more complex motive than the siegle sot did one which actuates the herd of land• kids. The landlords generally shrink frten the expense— O'Connell dreads the ruin of his po litical influence. From the hour in which the poor et Ireland are vested by I.w with an inte rest in the soil and in its produce, with a solid interest in those legislative Institutions and pro. visions is Inch &wish most conspicuously, and yield most abundantly, in times when peace and order are undisturbed,—from that hour the spell of agitation is broken, the hocus-pocus which ' has set associations, Conspiracies, anti-unions, rents, and all manner of noisy and ofrenske ionlibugs in motion, that is all at an end—it is extinct at once. The poor matt has his share in the national property. He and his children rated not thenceforth perish of hunger.

Among the people he has found willing hearers—they had nothing to lose—something they mi l ilit gain. They had no hold of the country—their native country they had no visible interest but in the chances consequent upon confusion. A well digested system of poor laws would terminate this precarious, this uneasy, and painful state of the national existence. The people would cry " Let us not forfeit ourinheritance—let.us up hold the laws and property which yield us bread." It is not strange, therefore, that the man who has succeeded so powerfully, and pro fited so immensely, by addressing hiniseif to the desperation of the multitude, should he 511 ,, - pected of a repugnance to drop from his hand the lever whereby he had never yet failed to move them. Some pamphlets have been sub mitted to us on this question of poor laws, which we shall touch upon as opportunity may serve.—Times. The town of Manchester has followed the example set by Birmingham some time ago, and fairly determined no longer to pay church rates. We have copied from the Manchester Times of Saturday last, a report of the pro ceedings at the meeting on Monday, at which it was proposed to pay no rates. A poll to,.k place, which was continued till Saturday evening, when a majority of six appeared against the rates. The Manchester 7imes says, that but for the application of the principles of Sturges Bourne's Bid, the imijotil against the rues would have been very great. The great factory owner has six votes, while the small rate-payer has only one. '1 he individuals who voted, up to Friday night, were— fi,•airist the 11.te 1.496 Fur the Rae AlajHrity -552 The feeling which led to this result in NI in chester, is, we believe, very general in the towns of this country ; and we have no doubt that the example will be imitated in more places than one. There is no impost in this country more generally odious than that which is levied for the support of the churches of the establishment, and after the abolition of vestry cess in Ireland, it was not to he expected that in places where there are many Dissenters, they would willingly pay church rates. The Dissenters in England are quite as averse to paying money towards the support of the E tablished Church as the Catholics are. The following passage, from the Manchester Times, will show the sort of feeling that pre vails on the subject : " Churchmen, who have any decency. will nor vo e that the public shall support their establishment, when every other denomination Impports its own. Dissenters will fie' it their duty to declare, by their votes. that they will no longer voluntarily support a chur c h to which they are con , cieotiously opposed. Reformers will nit lose the opportunity of testifying against the mischievous union of church arid state, and again.t that syst,m which taxes a tlintr•and poor men in sixpence a piece to furnish one entertainment of wine and rakes hi my Lord the Bishop, and the rich el rgy of his diocese. But let no into rely on what his neighbour may do, but instantly, when the poll opens to-day, record his vote ; for the contest may be so c use, th .t a sinyle vote may t•irn the srnle—and wI en he has voted, let him go and bring oil his f lends to vote. Be it remembered, that every man in the thirty town-hips of the parish of Min cheater, who pays po r rates, no matter how little, has a vote. Let no one he prevented from voting, became lie cannot readily obtain a colieeor's note, for it lie has ac Nally paid tin rate, it a ill he illegal to refuse his vote. The pole closes to-say. One enirgetic struggle, and church rates ate ahoii.hed for ever." The hostility to church rates first became decided when the people were teazed to sup. port the new churches. We foresaw that these churches, so far from benefitina the establish ment, would be of incalculable injury to it. Men 'nay continue to pay a burden to which they have been used, however mucf! it may be disliked ; but t hey seldom dt3play the same patience when the burden is an innovation. The newchurches may be said to have led to the refusal to pay church rates. And we are touch mistaken if it he not found necessary ere long to provide a substitute for this impost. In Scotland, before the Re formation, the principle that regulates the build ing and repairir,g of churches seems to hive been the same as in E:igland, but the principle which was adopted soon after the Reformation put an end to the disputes which are now agi tating England. "It is now perfectly settled in practice (says Mr. Dunlop, a late writer on Scotch parochial law), that the whole expense is to be borne by the parish (formerly the chancel was kept in repair by the parson) ; that it is to be paid, not by the parishioners at large, but only by the heritors, or proprietors of heritable property, and that, not according to their sub stance generally, but in proportion to the value of their landed property." In parishes, partly town and partly country, the expense is appor tioned over the whole lands and houses in pro portion to the real rent. The maintenance of the clergy and building and repairing of churches are, in 6cotland, made a burden on property, which prevents the collision between the church and the population that prevails in England and Ireland.—Morning Chronicle. In the struggle in the French Chamber, re lative to die guarantee of the Greek Loan, the Opposition had the best of • the argument, although the Monsters heat them in the logic of numbers. The small majo&y, however, not h,tanding the unceasing exercise of Court in fluence, leaves the Doctrinnaires nothing to be proud of in the way of triumph. If the Chamber were upon the principle which it ought to he, to represent really the public opinion of France, the Doctrinnaires would not be able to retain power for a snide wet k. Their tri,ky, dishonest, a n t i disgraceful policy would perish in die breath of public indignation the moment the fiction of a representative system became a reality. We always were of opinion, and we have more than once expressed it, that die appointment of Prince Ohio to the throne of Greece was the result of Russian influence, as the only means of repair ing the loss which the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!' sustained by the act of tyrannicide which cut short the career of die Russian ininion—the President Capo d'lstrias. We deprecated the policy of our Government in varanteeing one third of the loan of 2 400,00 a, to prop up a throne for a satrap of Ru-s:a. The ablest and most enlightened men in the French Chamber log k at the question in the same 'tilt that we did. They see that the Northern Autocrat finds the Sovereign and the fOrm of government for the Greeks, and England and France are allowed the privilege of tiding the larger por tion of the money, for to guarantee its pay ment, under the circumstances in which Greece is Placed, comes to the same thing. It Greece has been torn from the dominions of one bar barous despot to he added to those of ano her, neither civilization, s i t i ) o , r ie tt a ii r r i ;aLti r ty i , ,, uwu interests, 11 1 ° 1a r ve ou g r a ined any ;Meg by the change. If the Engl sat and F re nch Goveinmetus had not, either in igno lance or de:ign, 11110 the hands sia, they would not have guaranteed a farthing, but on the condition that the Greeks should be left free to choose their own Sovereign, and their own form of government. Both have been dictated to them, nominally by the three Powers, but really by Russia. The Greek nation has had no more voice in calling the Bavarian Prince to the throne than it used to have in appointing the Governors sent to it by Turkey. The Regency of the school-boy Kingi faithful to the despotic influence by which it has been created, proceeds to build up tite fabric of its power,. and organize the new institutions of the State, without c ondescendine, iq any particular. to ask the advice or consent of the naiion... A few degenerate nobles and sena tors, who.have, like Esau, sold their birthright for a mess of pottage, are permitttd to wear their gilded chains in the sunshine of the Court. But it is easy Co foresee that the Council of Re gency, by its arbitrary proceedings, is Sowing the seed of a harvest of trouble and calamity in Greece.—Morning Herald. It is stated in a Sunday paper, but we know not on what authority, that Lord Melbourne and the Commissioners of Police are busily engaged in sifting the evidence on the late inquest against the police, much of which they hope to disprove ; and to such a proceeding on their part there can be no solid objection in the mind of any rational person. On our part, although we have taken - a different view of the subject from that which has apparently been adopted by those authorities, there has been from the com mencement of the fatal proceeding, up to the present moment, a constant, and earnest, and most anxious desire to get at the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ; and if the result of the conjoined labours of the Home Sect etary and the Commissioners of Police shall be to throw more light upon the subject, we shall receive it with satisfaction. Bat our Sunday contemporary is surely in error when he states that the object of this sifting of the evidence is to disprove much of what w as adduced on the late inquest against the police; for, independent of the most complete and satisfactory proof of the violence and bru tality displaced by the police, we know no t h o w the Home Secretary could well add a greater blunder to the many for which he has to account, as connected with the meeting, than that of out raging at once common sense and public feeling, by even attempting to exonerate the police from charges of enormities, the perpetration of whi..h bas been proved beyond the possibility of cavil. The non-prevention of a trieetina, which he had previously declared to be illegal, was, if not a great clime, at least a great fault on the part of the Home Secretary— the mode of its dispersion m. st disgraceful—the subsequent proclamation, offering a reward, and declaring, in defiance of the verdict of the Jury, and without the finding of any court of law, that to be " murder" which had, after much patient investigation, been deemed "justifiable homicide,"—an i nsu l t f o r whi,h neither ground or reason, or precedent, is to be found; and now if it should turn out that the Home Secretary is about to add (to call them by a mild name) to all these blunders the still grosser one of endeavouring to white-wash the police soldiery what inference can be drawn from it, but the very painful ooe, that the Government, instead of taking part with the people, and endeavouring to bring to punish ment those among the police who so brutally maltreated the people, is taking part with it, and approves of its enormities ? Let it make the at tempt, however, if it be so inclined, and above all, let it, among (Ater matters worthy of invesii gation, inquire strictly into the character and general credibility of the witness, Mary Anne Hamilton, on which the Coroner placed such unbounded reliance, but which the jury, though her evidence was delivered on oath, would not believe. We court help the Home Secretary to an important fact on thi. subject, which is much at his service, when, in the course of his " silting," he comes to the investigation of her evidence. By the by, while on this sub ject, we ought to ob-erve, in justice to an even ing contempo aiy, whose s)mpathies are wholly with the police, that he has discovered two mares' nests of the very first mroitude and im portance. The first is, and we are glad of it, for the sake of the Government, if it can derive any benefit from it, that Lord Melbourne was not present with Colonel Rowan near the place where the meeting assembled, and the secon , l, that three of the jury who sat on the late inquest are members of the Political Union ! Our contemporary does not attempt to draw any inference from this alleged fact ; but it is very evident that it has been adduced for the purpose of insinuat ing that in consequence of their being members of the Union they must necessarily be partial in their view of the evidence. It might as well have been alleged, however, by the "Tories in the palmy state of their power, that those who called for a reform in the representation of the people, were not fit, in consequence of Oleir s) mpathies, to try a similar question ; a conclu sion which infers that political feeling, on any given subject must henceforth be held to be a moral disqualification. It ought also to he re collecell, as a proof of the impartiality of tne Jay s that although they returned a verdict at v xiance with the wishes of the Government, they also recorded their disapprobation of the meeting and its ohjects.—Morning Advertiser.

In this ca-e an application was made to allow the notice of declaration of ilial left at the Junior United Service Club House to be considered as good set , vice. appeared that the action was upon a bill of exchange drawn on the defendant, directed to him at the Junior United Service Club, and accepted by him. Several attempts had been made, but without success, to effect a per-onal service. An affi lavit was sworn, that the defendant's servant called at the Club-house daily for letters, and, therefore, it wa., believed that the untie • of declaration would reach him through this channel. _ . The COURT thought, under thee circumstances, the set vice would ho good. ROLFE V. MINTON. This was an action against the defendant, an opulent butcher, to recover a sum of money due for the support of his illegitimate child. It appeared that in 1821, the defendant paid his addresses to the dough er of the plaintiff, and that on the lst of May, 1822, .he was delivered of the child in ques tion. The defendant, it was proved, had taken and paid for loilg ngs for the young woman, and had paid all rite exoens-s consequent upon her rot finement ; and further, had advised that the child, which he tr-ated in every respect as his own, should be pa , out to wet.nurse, the expense of which he also de frayed. The chid was kept at nurse for ten months, when an arrangement was entered into by the de. fendant to pi), the plointiff a sum of Bs. per week for the nursing and maintenance of the child, which it was agreed should be sent to her as the issue of a friend, and not as the child of her daughter, of which fact the plaintiff was to be kept in ignorance. The defendant continued to pay this allowance for seven year., when he refused to continue so large a stipend, but said that he would pay 4s. a week, which was as much a• he could then afford. This ob jection was raised in 1829, and the present action was brought to recover the balance, the defendant having paid .5/. since that period tip to the present time. After considerable evidence had been gone into, The COURT suggested that the matters in dis pute had bater be referred, wh ch was ultimately agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. THE PROCESS OF MAKING STINKING FISH SWEET —On Saturday Thomas GiLon, senior, a hummeree, or retailer of ft•h in Billingsgate, v‘a-• brouglit before the Lord Mayor, for having followed Mr. Goldham, the clerk of the market, from place to pl ee, with a loaded stick, a blow of which, in fl cted by a man of moderate strength, would fell an ox. It was proved that the defendant had been, in consequence of repeated acts of mi c•snduc', inter dicted he run (lithe market by Mr. G Ilham; that he threatened Mr. Goldham, who found it nece to wrest the dangerous instrument from his hands, and that the stick had been made heavy within the last few day', for the purpose of real mischief. The LORD MAYOR—What is the general conduct of ihe old man ? Mr. Goblham, to the surprise and amusement of the crowd in the justice-room, gave the following account of Gilson :—" I have hail a great deal of trouble, my L .rd, with the d fendant, who is con standy in the habit of imposing on the public by he tricks of his trade. lie puts the g ifs of fi e.li fi.h in.° the bodies of fi•h that have been long dead, and he also supplies the heads of a hiking fi•h with fres' , eyes.

" Yes, ma'am (says he) ju.t like a paraque , , what's like a parrot, but younger awl more tender." So the lady took home her t urb.at, and it was more tender sure enough.—(Great laughter.) The lady came d.,wn the next day, but Tom was too good a judge to be there. She had paid 3 for the turbo', and he had sold its fellows, whet, good, at 41 a piece —(l,aughter.)

Mr. GoWham—Not a doubt of it, my L ird. A lady botight a turbot a short time ago ham) this man, and, as it had been lying by on his forn for some time, it began to get fl ruby. To remedy this defect he shoved a stick up the hod', which, of course, became quite stiff enough, and he soon found a customer. D ',yr) came the lady next day, to toe terr, r of the deletidato, who, however, had not winch reason to be triglvened, fur she says to him, " My good man, I don't blame you, but we couldn't eat a b t of the poor turbot yesterday. Do you know that the pour unfortunate fish must have suffered a great deal of agony, for upon boiling him we found tha , he had swallowed a piece of timber, very nearly as long as himselt."—(l...mghttr.)

COSTER —Toe LORD MAYOR said, he found that, although he was intormed, by what he considered a very high authority, that Coster had committed an offence off board the hulks, and had been punished win a flogging, there was no foundation for the report. He took that opportunity to correct the impresssion that must have gone abroad, that the ingenious person who, his Lordship hoped, was about to take his fate %ell for ever, had been so in judicious as to incur a fresh penal y. BOW-STREET. A SAULT BY A POLICEMAN AT THE SPAFIELDS MEETING —lt will be recollected that among the w,triesses etcarn , ned by the Coroner, during the in quest on the body of Cully, was a p,-n.oit named Cli ales Wheeler, who de , cribed himself its inspector to the Sue ety for the Sti. , pre•sion of CiUt Ity to Animal-. He stated that he had nothing to do with the meeting . , but that he was accidentally bassi -g the ground on widen it %VHS held, when lie saw the policemen meeting the pro f le, and turned loom' with his wife, who aceompatii.d him, to go home another way. He 7va lit round to the Bago'gge NVells•toad, whale he heard a nurryter of women and children pereittc ing, and saw a youth, mun Nitta his aye td ed ; he siw hitn struck by a vliceman of the, division, whom he should know, and while looking at him was himself forced off the footpath into the road. He was separated from his wife, and on turning inund to look for her, a policeman of divi sion A, No. 32, took deliberate aim at him with hi• truncheon, and striking him on the head knocked him senseless to the earth. He stated that he was unconscious of all that passed afterwards until I.e found himself in the shop of a medical gentleman, covered with blood. It appears that he came to this office on the same evening, to lodge a com plaint, but- being too late, %%as not permitted to enter. At a subsequent period, he went to the commiss'oners, in Sco land-yard to demand the name of his assailant, in order that he might obtain a warrant against him, but this request was refused. In this dilemma he laid his case, we understand, before Mr. Henry Hunt, la .e Member for Pieston, who immediately applit d to Lord Melbourne on the -ob. jeer, and under his Lordship's d.rection, the name of the man was obtained; and, on Timisday Wheeler came to thi- o ffi ce, and having .worn to his examination, he olittrned a warrant, and wit. &sired to attend on Saturday, in order that the charge might undergo an investigation. In pur suance of this art. tn, l ement, he this day mad • hi appearance at this office, accompanied by Mr. Henry Hunt and some witnesses, who were present at the time the assault was c.immitted. It was oen stated, ho,‘ ever, by Salmon, to whose care the warr.ttit was itorosied, tt.ar policeman, A 32, had been sent down to Epsom, to attend the rats, and had not yet returned. Wheeler remarked, that he understood the mau was in town on Thursday, when he obtained the warttnt. Yes (said Mr. MINSHULL) that might have been the case, but it was scarc,ly necessary that the matt should then have been taken into custody and retained•in confinement till the present period.' salmon, the officer, then staled, that it was pos sible the man might return, and might be in attend. ance in the evening . Mr. MINSHULL asked Wheeler whether it wou'd he convenient to him to attend at that time, upon the chance of meeting the accused; or whether it would be more desirable to postpone the inquiry till Tuesday next, when it would be his du y again to a tend at the office?—Wheeler preferred the latter alternaiive; and it Has screed that the examination should be tio-tfioned to Tuesday next. A NEW OCCUPATION FOR THE POLICE.—A market-gardener, who has extensive grounds on the Hounslow-road, came before Mr. Mito•hull, and complained that on Monday night, or rather Tues day morning la-t, as his waggons, laden with vqte tdb!es, were On their way to Covent-garden Mar ker, where he was anxiously awaiting their arrival, a body of new police, who were ,tafimked across Piccadilly, in front of the house of the D.ike.of D - vonshire, who on that night gate a pawl fete, would not p•rmit them to pas., but, by completely block ing up the public thoroughfare, rowed them to take a circuitous route, which not only fa.igil'ed the horse.:, hut delayed the arrival of his vegetables in the maiket a full hour beyond the usual time, there by subjecting him not only to great inci.nvertience, but to loss. He put i! to the wor. by Magistrate, whether the police were thus author zed to inreifete with the Indus nous pursuits of his Majesl's sub jec,s, either f,r the gratification of their own whim, or for the convenience of persons who might think proper to block up the highway by their fashionable routs ? Mi. MINSIIULL could give no opinion on the sub j ct at preset'', iva•tnuch as be wa. nut accpainted with the authurry under %%hie' the police acted; but he would t►ike care it did not occur again.
