SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, We stated some days ago that the English GO- Yernment would of course recognize, the Constitu tional King of France. We may now state that it is determined to immediately acknowledge Louis Philip as King of the French. The recognition will, we understand, be made in a manner equally prompt and cordial. The King of England, with the good sense and good feeling which belong to his character, has expressed in the warmest and most energetic terms his anxiety that no unneces sary delay shall take place in this act of sound po licy and international justice. It is not, we hear, yet decided whether the recognition of Louis Philip I will be made through the medium of a special mis sion, or through the regular medium of Lord Stuart de nothsay. The accession of the French Monarch has, it is true, been specially notified to the English Government by General Bandrand; but the absence of the Duke of Lava) Montmo rency from England rendered this step necessary. It is known shut diplomatic etiquette allows the English Government the option to avail them selves of the regular channel of the resident Am bassador, or of selecting some person especially for that duty. As the wish and determination to recognize Louis Philip are so decidedly strong and cordial, both on the part of the British Cabinet and the British Sovereign, the mere form of the recog nition becomes very unimportant. Of one thing we are sure, that neither in form nor in substance will the King of England or his Ministers do any thing which tan throw a doubt on the zealous sincerity of that recognition. We think now, that even the most incredulous of that stupid and malignant fac tion who have charged the Duke of Wellington us being privy to the atrocious measures of Polignac, will allow, with whutever reluctance, that neither directly nor indirectly,—neither by himself nor any of his colleagues,—has there been any communica tion between the English and the French Premier, which might not be proclaimed at Charing-cross,— The time is fast approaching (for, as we have else where stated, Parliament will meet for the despatch of business on the '2Bth of October) when the Duke may publicly contradict this infamous calumny.— Meantime he may challenge his enemies to produce, either in France or England, one tittle of proof,— one atom of probable evidence,—that he had even means of knowing, much less that he approved of those insane projects which Charles X. and his Cabinet conceived and attempted to execute for the overthrow of their country's rights.—Times. Accounts from Spain have been received from our Ambassador, Mr. Addington. They come down to the 12th. We understand that they indicate the existence of a disposition in Ferdinand to yield to the circumstances of the times, and to make those concessions voluntarily, which would otherwise he wrung from him. We suspect this repentance comes too late : who can trust the promises of such a Sovereign as Ferdinand ? Has he not repeatedly broken his word—his oath ? What guarantee can there be for one who has shown that neither the ties of gratitude, nor of honour, nor of religion, can bind him ? Let him again escape the toil us he did at Seville, and afterwardsat Cadiz, and he will first laugh at, then persecute to death, the dupes who trust him— 4 , Ease would recant " Vows made in pain, as violent and void." The Constitutionalists of Spain have committed many follies,. which have made their friends blush, anti which they themselves are now the first to con fess with regret and humiliation. No, no; they cannot again commit the enormous folly—worse In their case than any crime—of putting any trust in the concessions however plausible, in the vows how ever solemn, of Ferdinand the perfidious.—Tieres. The Throne which the Usurper of Portugal has ruised upon the ruins of the Constitution, which he had sworn to protect, rests, we should think, at present, on a very frail foundation. We are aware that his patron saints itro powerful, and that the miracles of the Church caw do much in favour of so pious and obedient a believer. Still Charles X. found that there are limits to " apostolic" power, and that holy perfidy is not always successful. Like that infatuated Monarch, Don Miguel may find that oaths " registered in Heaven" are not at all times broken with impunity, and that those who consider themselves above the obligations of human laws, may yet incur, even in the guilty splendotfrof their (*outlet', the chastisement of Divine vengeance ! We make these observations without knowing what effect the `Hews of the mighty events of which France has been the theatre, and which have created a new era in the civilised world, bag produced on the banks of the Tagus. By the latest accounts which have reached us from that country, and which will be round in our paper today under the head of Lis bon Correspondence, the perfidious candidate for such historical honours as grace the memories of the kin. dred spirits of Domitian and Caligula was indulging the insolent levity of his nature in frivolous plea sures, while his myrmidons continued to insult the British flag, and to show by every means in their power their contempt for the united " wisdom and energy" which preside over our foreign relations I-- Will it be believed in after times that this despicable imitator of the worst models of regal imbecility and vier., should dare to treat with scorn the symbol of our naval glory, anti to defy the power of Great Britain on her native element, while the gallant companion end patron of Nelson was on the throne, and the hero of Waterloo ut the head of her Cabinet! Yet so it is, and even worse ; for, as we are in formed by our Correspondent, and as some of the foreign papers haVe stated, a special interest is taken in the promotion of the ambitious projects of this mindless reprobate by other' Courts of Europe, that ought to regard his connection as the last dis grace. We recollect the amiable coquetry of Lord Aberdeen last Session on the subject of the recogni. tion of Don Miguel ; and we also recollect the Tel evil.* tragedy ; yet we were not prepared to hear, after all which has passed, that new efforts are making to negotiate a treaty of marriage between the Infant Queen Donna Muria and her unnatural uncle, through the intervention of the great European Powers—great they may cell themselves, but in this transaction, if it be true, they look exceedingly little. It is added that this allience it to be founded upon the exclusion of the Constitutional Charter, and that the Emperor Dori Pedro, sensiblo of his inability to arrange mat. ters in a snore satisfactory way, has given this pro ject his reluctant consent. We hope, for the honour of human nature, there is no truth in this report. If any British Minister he engaged in such a traninie. tion, we are riot aequainted with any terms strong enough to characterise his couduct The patience with which our Government have already borne the violence which he has been guilty of to British sub cts, and the insults which h e has heaped upon the BBritish Ng, has suflicieedy compromised t he na tional dignity; but to make ourselves a party to InifailllrCO the object of which is to spore the throne to him which be has ascended by the grossest per. jury and crime, and to give him a permanent triumph over the liberties of the people which ha has train• j liatt4 in the dust, would be so uttetly aenseless and (tegreding, that we cannot believe, without evidence I conclusive enough to support an impeachment, that any Minister in England would lend himself to it. r'imost. therefore, suppose that, in th is instance, s'ngamd is not inehided among the great European Powers, and that ~the, wisdom of our Cabinet is Mt, at lingnintoublir ifith this weakness, or its morality tarro . serwith this contamination. In the meantttanarthe naval Power of Dori Miguel is al• lowed to pursue its plan bri tidage without ye.

Yet will not our for bearance save Don Miguel from the fate which his insolence and his vices have .provoked ? Perhaps by this time he sees, or fancies he sees, the cloud that bears the thunder darken upon the horizon of the country which his tyranny has desolated.— Morning Herald. The Brighton Guardian, in a long article, occupy ing neatly a column, while directing attention to what the writer conceived " the sad and melancholy effects of adulation from the people to the Prince, furnished by the late bloody scenes in the streets of Paris," was so unfortunate us to use the expression, " the King is not a strong-minded man." There is a time for every thing (says the wide man), and the editor of the Brighton Guardian has experienced the truth of this. We may add, too, that there is a place for every thing. Now,at the time of this unfortunate expression, or " unguarded expression," as the editor of.the Brighton Guardian admits it to be, the King was on a visit at Brighton. What might have escaped notice in London, or Leeds, or Man chester, or Glasgow, was sure to attract attention at such a place as Brighton, and especially at such u time. Brighton, too, has to atone for the sill against Royalty, which drove our late most gracious Sovereign from it; and the people of that place must, from that circumstance, be peculiarly alive to their reputation for loyalty. No man hints anything against the Church in the house of one who has gone over from the Dissenters—no one expresses liberal sentiments in the house of a Jacobin Rene gado—no one speaks of Moorish blood in certain districts of Spain—and no one should express any thing but the most unqualified loyalty its a place like Brighton, which may be said to be on its good behaviour. The King is, we believe, a well-mean ing worthy man; he wishes to make the best use of his abilities; and as no man likes to heir his strength of mind questioned, we should not, even if we thought him weak-minded (and we have not heard that be is), venture to express so unpleasant a truth. It is with Kings as with wives in this country; they are taken for better for worse during life; and as they cannot be changed, the telling them unpleasant truths, while they are acting us well us they cats, may do harm, but can hardly do good. 'I best wife would hardly bear being told by her husband that she has not a good face ; and the best King may be soured by hearing that he has not is strong mind. The time for telling truths of the King was before the illllOBB of the Duke of Ymk, or, at all events, before the illness of his late Majesty. Un der these circumstances, it was, perhaps, well for the Editor of the Brighton Guardian that the Kings and Ministers who have been committing murder by wholesale in Paris have not had a hair of their heads touched, end that la douse hantanite in the present day does slot require to be propitiated by martyrdom. The loyal people of Brighton have caught the humanity of the age, arid instead of burning the editor of the Guardian in person, they merely burned him in effigy. Duo credit will be given to them, when the nature of this " wanton and atrocious attack upon the King," as they phrase it, is fairly considered. It was proposed, however, to call a sneering of the inhabitants, to express, in a solemn way, their abhorrence of such a wanton out rage, as to doubt, that a 'King on the throne is not always the best and wisest of Kings. A Reverend Gentleman, who has suffered much from the dis loyal principles of the paper, was anxious for a pub lic meeting. " Ile wished (be said) to see the Guardian put down. Forbearance bad hitherto been adopted, under the blest that it would speedily sink; but it had found supporters, and be desired to see it discontinued. He had no hatred to the Editor—be would assist him; but the paper ought to be put down. Ile need not say bow he had been re viled by the Editor, whom be had refused certain adver tisements he had applied the. " Well said ; this Church Parson here spoke the truth ; put down the paper—the organ and advocate of Dissenters —the opponent of Lidice, and fat livings, and plu ralities; oh, certainly, destroy that vile Guardian which exposes all chicanery, and abuse, and intrigue, and which has guarded the town against the rapacity which would have imposed still further taxes on its industry to light St. Peter's Church with gas! The Reverend Gentleman Raid on one occasion, so long as that paper lasts, we (the Church) shall never get any more front the parish,' and it is therefore natural that he should wish us extinct. This parson is doubtless exceedingly angry at what be nick names our disloyalty; but he is still more angry at our unworn promising hostility to the Church ; because the insolence of thew Churchmen should never he lost sight of—they even presume to rank themselves shove the State. It is not State and Church,' but ' Church and State.'" The principles of the Clergy at present are every where sound, as is evinced by their votes for the Treasury Candidates, But voting and even preach ing is not enough. We would suggest that a Loyal Library, consisting of a collection of the various trea tises published by Clergymen during the last fifty years, recommending the most unqualified passive obedience, be made, with the view of forming a library of really useful knowledge, to be circulated assiduously through the country. We could name at least two hundred, containing more slavish, and, therefore, more 'found principles, than are to be found in any publication in Paris since the return of the Bourbons. They might commence with the " Sys tern of true Politics, humbly addressed to all his Majesty's subjects," by James Illingworth, D.D., Lecturer of St. Alphuge, London-wall, an admirable little manual. " Among many disagreeable appearances of the signs of the times (observes the Rev. Bettor) the spirit of reviling, judging, and condemning administration is not the least. This is one of the crying sins of the nation. , , To revile, or speak evil of rulers, is a direct violation of the spirit of charity, or law of love, which is the die: tinguishing characteristic of Christianity. It is therefore incompatible with the character of a Christian, and mann sistent with the duty as well as the interests of British sultjecla, to speak evil of their King as supreme, or of their governors appointed under him, to assist him in the government of his people, and in the great and important work of managing and conducting public affair., for the good of the whole body politic— , For they are God's Ministers'—' By me, saith Jehovah, Kings reign and Princes decree justice. By the Prinme rule and Nobles, over all the Judges of the earth.' Kings, Princes, Nobles and Judges are all appointed of God ; but whatever God appoints most be according to infinite wisdom, conse quently right in itself. Therefore it is inconsistent with the Christian character to speak evil of God's appoint ment. . . . The Kingly office of Christ, which cannot be separated from his roediaterial character, nor abolished till all his enemies be finally subdued, for he must reign till he Nth put all counties under his feet'—has no sign upon earth but the government ofKings to repre sent his sovereign power to the world. He bath on his vesture and on hie thigh a name written, Kitig of Kings and Lord of Lords but Mke away Kingly go vernment, and this Scripture must be erased nut of the Secret! Canon, because it could not be true, The relative terms, therefore, of office-character or derived power, under the names of Kings and Lords, show, in the strongest manner, not only their divine appointment, but the certainty of their continuatieu, es a standing figure of the power of Christ es Supreme King and Lord over all, till time shall be no more. . Kingly Government, therefore, must continue till all the above Scriptures have their full completion, viz. to the end of time. This doctrine, they who are of Republican principle., necessarily deny, became it strikes at the root of what they Ball a popular govern ment, or a free state, where the people have the govern ment in their own hands. But whatever conclusions men drew from their own rea'onings, or more truly from their own prejudice*, if they oppose the word of God, their con clusions are false" Whut advantage to a country to have a body of men well paid to inculcate such wholesome doc trines I To speak against en Administration is, we see, to fly in the face of Christia►►ity.

" LATEST FROM CoLostntA.—The brig Montilla, Beckman, arrived at New York on Monday from Carthagena, bringing papers of that place to the Ist July. The annexed extracts are taken from the second edition of the Journal du Commerce. a it is stated, that two days previous to the sailing of the Montilla, despatches were received from Venezuela, announcing a counter-revolution in that department, the overthrow of General Paez's authority and in fluence, and his forced resignation : the department had, moreover, declared for a reunion with new Grenada. " On Bolivar's arrival at Carthagena, it is stated that all the principal merchants of that place called on him in a body, requesting that he would not de sert them, or leave the country. " The next day all the ladies of Carthagena waited on him with the same request. " The southern provinces of Guayaquil and Pa nama had given him information that if he left the country, they should immediately separate from the republic of Colombia, and form independent Go vernments. CARTIIM;ENA, JUNE 27.—0 n the 23d instant his Excellency the Liberator arrived in this capital (train Turbaco), accompanied by the Senors Pre fect and Commandant-General of the Department, and an immense and brilliant concourse of chiefs, officers, and respectable inhabitants. " His Excellency was saluted with viva: by the people in the streets through which he passed, till his arrival at the house of General Montilla, where he took lodgings. " Immediately he was waited on by his numerous friends in this city, and until near evening there was a great number of persons about the house of his Excellency, who desired once more to see him. These ingenuous and voluntary demonstrationsprove, more than any thing else, how much the Liberator is, beloved by all classes in this capital. " The following day was appointed for all the authorities and corporations to pay their respects to his Excellency. But this interview did not take place, on account of his being a good deal indis posed ; and it was necessary to postpone.it till the 26th. " On the last mentioned day, the civil authori ties, corporations, public officere, and a great number of respectable inhabitants, headed by the Prefect of the Department, proceeded to the residence of his Excellency, where were already assembled the Com mandant-General of the Department, with his staff, and all the chiefs and. officers of the garrison. The Prefect then addressed the Liberator in very affec tionate and appropriate terms, to which his Excel lency replied as follows " I receive with the most profound gratitude the generous sentiments with which you honour me, in the name of the inhabitants of this capital, whose principal authorities and public officers i see here assembled. I have arrived, gentlemen, at this illus trious city, like a traveller who can only stop long enough to make the necessary arrangements for con tinuing his journey. In leaving my country, to which I have devoted my best services, I am not ignorant that we have scarcely begun to fulfil our duties towards it, and that now its tranquillity, prosperity, and happiness ought to be the objects of our efforts, in order that the heroic sacrifices conse crated to its independence may not be rendered use less. It would therefore be very grateful to my feelings to be able to accompuny you still, giving the first example of obedience to the authorities legitimately constituted, the only means of main taining order and making liberty and all social blessings secure. But they accuse me, gentlemen, of ambitious views, which, although they are far from my heart, are by some believed to be well founded. Under this pretence, a party has been organized which keeps the Colombian people in a constant state of agitation. My remaining in the republic under such circumstances would afford abundant pretexts for the continuance of disorders. This is my opinion, gentlemen, and I cannot resist my conscience. "' All the revolutions, and all the excesses, have been laid to my charge; and even had every thing remained tranquil, suspicion would not have ceased to alarm those who fear my influence, or my sup posed aspirations. Perhaps a long absence will ex tinguish jealousy. At least, time will place the Government of Colombia on a acted foundation, so that it may not think itself threatened by any indi vidual, nor subject to the hateful influence of faction. Then, without doubt, my absence would terminate, and I would return to the bosom of this country, which I cannot leave without regret, after partici pating the benefits of independence and the glory of being subject only to a Government constituted by ourselves. However great may be the sacrifice on my part, I make it for the country ; and if it give to that country the repose which it needs, I shall think myself infinitely compensated.' CARTITAGENA, JULY I.—On Monday a schooner anchored in the bay from Rio Chico, a province of Careens, via Curacoa, and Rio Roche, having on board Mr. Jose Miguel Machado, commissioned by the chiefs and inhabitants of that circuit, to bring to the Liberator the news, or rather the declaration made by the people of Venezuela, in favour of the integrity of the Republic, the Constituent Congress, and the Government which was in power at the time of the scandalous proceedings in Caraccas on the 25th of November. " The movement began in the high plains of the province, the heroic city of Calabuso having set the example. With an incredible velocity it was corn munteated to the whole province of Barcelona, Cu mans, and the left bank of the Orinoco. It is con ducted by various Generals, and all the chiefs in the different places mentioned. The people made the declaration under arms, and compelled the chiefs to place themselves at their head. The vallies of Ara guu have seconded the declaration, and only Valen cia and Caracas remain subject to the power of t h e . faction which disorganized Venezuela. Gen. Paez was at that time very unwell in Valencia ; the Con gress had done actually nothing. The Acta of Ca laboso invites Gen. Paez to place himself at the head of the re-action, disavows the authority of the new Government of Venezuela and contemplates the re storation of order interrupted by it. " From the letters of General Infante, and Colonels Parejo and Bustilos, it is k nown th a t th e Actas of Venezuela, sanctioning the revolution of C.sraccas, were extorted from the people by re peated threats from certain chiefs. That the pre sent re-action was, concerted some months since, and that they only delayed their declaration to await the approach of the Liberator to Venezuela. That on seeing 'themselves abandoned to their own fate, and that the Council of Ministers were thinking of deserting the Congress and Colombia, b* sanction ing the dismemberment of the Republic, and by violating the fundamental law of the nati on , they could no longer remain inactive, They were com 7 pelled to avow their sentiments, and to act, lest their silence should give grounds f or susp i c i on that Ye nezuela acquiesced in the dis mem b erment of the country, when in fact she resolved to support the national integrity, the Constituent con gress , and the Liberator President. " By this time the high chief of the police had circulated information of the retirement of General Bolivar front the supreme command, and his going to Carthugena for the purpose of leaving Colombia. This, together with the abusee vomited forth by the press of Caucus against the Liberator, exas perated the Venezuelans to such an extent, that they were abundantly ripe fur a re-action. General Machado, one of the wealthiest.men of these willies, has-orders to see the Liberator wherever he may be found, and even to follow him to Europe, if by any fatality he has left Colombia. Th e r eg i men t of Cancogna, which General Paez had ordered to Valencia, and from thence to San Curios, had de serted, with their arms, end were one of the fait corps in making the declaration. Finally, the re action is general, and the people have taken arms en mane to support it. They demand the presence of the Liberator, and nothing else will satisfy them. " CARTITAGENA, JUNE 14.—The Constitution, sanctioned by the Constituent Congress of 1830, was published on the 12th instant, and with all the pomp and solemnity due to so august an act. " An earthquake took place at Carthagena on the 12th June, which created much alarm, but did no serious damage. It was apprehended that in the interior provinces the damage might have been con siderable." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. A Scotchman, named Munro, was brought from Chelsea, charged with being very drunk and disor derly on the preceding evening. " What do you say to the charge ?" inquired Mr. MARRIOTT. " Why, I have a good deal to say, your Worship," replied the Scotchman ; " my land lady abused me." Mr. MARRIOTT asked him what his landlady had to do with it ?—" I'll tell your Worship, only give me time," said the defendant, " and make it appear clear that it is not my fault. My landlady called me a Scotch brute—so I went and got drunk directly." Mr. MARRIOTT—And becau.e she called you a Scotch brute, you got beastly drunk ?—" I (lid, in deed," replied the Scotchman ; "and I think it was quite enough to make any one get drunk; only think, your Worship—a Scotch brute I" Mr. MARRIOTT—WeII, I have heard many excuses for drunkenness in my life-time, but this is the most original excuse I ever heard. The defendant was fined 59. MARYLEBONE. A countryman from Loughton, in Essex, applied for a search-warrant, " What have you lost ?" said Mr. RAWLINSON.-- " My wife, Sir," replied the countryman. Mr. RAWLINSON—Who has run away with her? Countryman—Mr. Adams, Sir, a rich man. Mr. ItAwuNsoN—lf you belong to Loughton, why do you come here? Countryman—She is in this parish, Sir. _ . Mr. RAWLINSON-It'll a rascally thing of this Mr. Adams; but I have no power to interfere. You must go to an attorney. LAMBETH-STREET. Mr. Tobias Levy summoned Mr. Hetekias Davis for unlawfully detaining the duplicate of a feather bed, which he alleged was his property. Mr. Davis is a renovator of decayed raiment, and a connoisseur in all job commodities termed " pargains." Mr. Davis was his quondam partner, and the present difference arose i n t h e participation incidental to a dissolution of partnership. " Pleash your Vorship," said Mr. Levy, " I can come afore you vid an open countenance, and shwear dat he have shtole ma properties. lax to take ma bed and get two pounds to clear some goots, yen be pawns it ur ish own name, and keeps de ticket." " Shelp ma Gott," retorted Mr. Davis, " I puy de bed vit ma monies. Look at him, your Vorship, he can't countenance me veil I shay dat.' The Magistrate, after hearing the case, said the matter must be settled amongst themselves and the pawnbroker. " nab !" said Mr. Levy, angrily, as he walked out of the office, " It's the willainy of the thing vet I looks at. It's the base advantage. Jest as if he fetched me a kick behind ven my back vas turned." SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, Aua. 24. QUACKERY.—STEVENS V. SOLIDGRMAN. This was an action brought by a baker in Bristol, against the defendant, who is known under the name of Dr. Solidgeman, and who exercises the healing art amongst the bumbler clussesof society in this city. Mr. Serjeant WILDE stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury with great humour and ingenuity. He said that the plainti ff 's child, having been afflicted with some boils or carbuncles, had been placed under the care of Dr. Solidgeman, mid continued under treatment for a long time, during which the doctor received considerable sums of money, though the child obtained no relief. The father of the child had afterwards been afflicted with some protube rances, which would be very inconvenient to a per son of sedentary habits. Mr. Baron VAUMIAN asked, with a smile, where the tumour was seated The Learned Serjeant went on to read a printed paper issued by the doctor, in which he professed to cure all manner of diseases, in the enumeration of which appeared some names, the sound of which produced great amusement to the Court and to the audience. At the head of the list appeared the " ruffle put." The Learned JUDGE, looking significantly at Mr. Serjeant Wilde, told him that he supposed the doctor meant a gout which had a tendency to ruffle the temper of the patient. The learned Serjeant, understanding the allusion, said that he had himself had, in another place, very ample experience of the effect which gout sometimes produced in ruffling the patient's temper. (The al lusion was to the scenes which occurred some time ago in the Court of Common Pleas, in London, and which excited great laughter at the bar.) The Learned Serjeant went on to read through the paper, in which the defendant undertook to cure the watery gout, and five other species of that complaint, with broken navels, dry bumpkins, windy cramps under the breath rib, &e. The doctor described himself in the bill as late principal surgeon and physician to the army of the King of Prussia, and to the Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt. The reading of the paper excited great laughter in the Court. The paper contained a list of names, which professed to be those of per sons who had been cured by the doctor, but amongst which Mr. Serjeant Wilde said he could discover only one which appeared. to be genuine, namely, the name of one Mr. - Greenhorn, who seemed to have been one of the doctor's patienti. As the declara tion did not contain the christian name of the doe-' tor, Mr. Sojeunt Wilde said, in justification of this apparent omission, that every possible effort had been made to ascertain who or what the defendant was, but that they had discovered nothing more upon the subject than that he probably was a Polish Jew. A person bad called upon him under the pretence of being the compiler of a new Bristol Directory, and asked him by what name and title he wished to be described; but he said that It would be sufficient to set him down as the great Doctor Solidgeman, Esq. doctor, surgeon, and apothecary j .and, as he tie dared his intention to use the word doctor as a christian name, he had been by that name sued upon the record. When Mr. Serjeant Wilde had concluded, The learned JUD6I3, alluding to the manner in which the preceding case bad terminated, asked Mr. serjeant Wilde jocularly whether the plaintiff would be content if the defendant were to enter into his own recognizances.—(Laughter.) The learned SEILIEANT, laughing, declined to do so, as it was necessary that society should be effec tually guarded against the operations of the de fendant._ Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS addressed the Jury for the d e fence, who, after bearing the charge of the learned Judge, and consulting together for a consi derable time, returned a verdict for the defendant.

(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. Brodie examined by Mr. Brand—Had at tended Mr. Brand; was said to have been ill of hydrocele ; visited him some days ago; saw no marks of insanity at that time • he was in a state of excitement, but not more so than might be expected from a person under his peculiar circumstances. When he (Mr. Brodie) saw him on that occasion, Mr. Brand had just returned from the commission which had been sitting that day; saw nothing now in Mr. Brand's conduct or manner that should in duce him (Mr. Brodie) to think him insane. Cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN—Had not seen Mr. Brand all that day; only came into Court when he began his defence. Mr. Irvine called by Mr. Brand—Had known the latter for some time; does not think him insane; did think his mode of farming injudicious; con sidered Mr. 13rtind as more under the impulse of the moment than other people, and less under the guidance of reflection. By Mr. Brand—Was not certain that his mode of farming was absolutely injudicious. Ephraim Samuta called—Met Mr. Brand at chess frequently during the last ten years ; saw nothing which should in the slightest degree induce him to think Mr. Brand insane, or even inclined to such a state ; believed that Sarvitt the chess-player was dead ; saw no difference in Mr. Brand at the present time from appearance and manners during the last ten years. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER here said, that he had just received a communication from the Lord Chan cellor, in which his Lordship stated that he was given to understand that Mr. Brand appeared be fore the Commissioners under a restraint. He (the Chief Commissioner) begged to call the attention of the Jury to the evidence of Dr. Sutherland, given on a former day; that evidence went to show that it would be dangerous to let Mr. Brand be com pletely free. A Juror thought it exceedingly hard that Mr. Brand should be put upon his defence under the re straint alluded to—the straight waistcoat. Mr. Commissioner WIIITMARSII said, the waist coat was only placed on the person easily, and with out being applied. Dr. Sutherland called—On his oath he was of opinion that even now it would be dangerous to allow Mr. Brand to be free from restraint more than he was. After some conversation, in which the Court showed much anxiety for the proper treatment of Mr. Brand, The same Juror inquired if Mr. Brand felt any inconvenience from the restraint under which he was placed ?—Mr. Brand calmly replied, that he felt a little warm by having the additional jacket on, and perhaps he was a little rounder about the shoulders. Mrs. Harris examined—Lives at Camberwell. Mr. Brand lodged at her house. Was never afraid of him. Never saw him agitated, except when visited lately by a Mr. Page. Recollects that gen tleman, 1)r. Park and Alderman Wood calling. They said it was unsafe for Mr. Brand to remain without a keeper. They wished a keeper to remain in the house. Witness objected, as she thought there was no occasion for it. A crowd assembled round the door. Recollects Mr. Brand turning Al derman Wood out of the house. By Mr. Brand—Could not say that she thought Mr. Brand did right to turn out the Alderman. She however thought the Alderman's conduct not quite correct. Never saw anything the matter with Mr. Brand, if he was not excited. Recollects Mr. Brand saying he was ready to go before a British Jury, if allowed his own medical attendants. In answer to various questions, the witness repli e d that by desire of Mr. Alderman Wood and Dr. Paris she had placed Mr. Brand's razors in her table drawer. Mr. Brand, however, asked for them again; and when shaving, Mr. Brand was perfectly com posed. Saw the scuffle between Alderman Wood, Dr. Paris, and Mr. Brand. Witness did not think Mr. Brand wished to strike Dr. Paris. By the CIIIEF COMMISSIONER—Mr. Brand had complained of a confusion of names, if two persons were mentioned to him. On the Sunday he had complained of a stable smell, and stood at the win dow. There was no such smell in the house. Mr. Brand objected to Alderman Wood and Dr. Paris coming in. Heard Mr. Brand say, that his bodily health was never better than at that time. By one of the Jury—Witness's husband had sent for the policemen, but Alderman Wood brought one also. Would not have any objection to stay in the same room with Mr. Brand alone, if no one came to irritate him and tell him he was mad. By Mr. Brand—Witness would treat Mr. Brand mildly if he was under her care. Mr. Brand•—lf I were your eon, how would you treat me? Would you put this (pointing to his straight jacket) on me ? This uesti On caused 'some noise, amid which the answer of the witness was lost; and Mr. Brand, in reply to a remark by the Chief Commissioner, said, " I wish to have the opinions of the witnesses as to my treatment." _ Mr. Harris, husband of the last witness, was then called in and examined by Mr. Brand. Witness had never seen any thing indicating insanity in Mr. Brand before Alderman Wood called. Witness was not aware of any plea for confining Mr. Brand as a mad. man. Witness would have been more irritated than Mr. Brand was, had his (Mr. Harris's) friends come to confine him as a madman. Mr. Page bad said Mr. Brand was mad, but he did not think so. Wit ness would not be afraid to stop in the same room without a keeper with Mr. Brand. Witness saw nothing in Mr. Brand's conduct to think him in sane. Would .sooner be in the company of Mr. Brand alone,' than iii the company of a madAoctor or a keeper.--( Laughter.) By the C►tlEF' CpthfISSIONER—Had thought Mr. Brand rational after the interview with Dr. Paris and Alderman Wood. By Mr. Brand--Had had private conversation with Mr. Brand within the last two days. Had not been dictated to as to the evidence he should give, or mentioned what evidence he would give. By the Jury—Was a father of seven children; would have no objection to allow his children to be alone with Mr. Brand. Mr. Brand sometimes paid' him his bills and tea a receipt. Saw nothing dif ferent from other men in Mr. , Brand in settling - ac counts. Witness would receive Mr. Brand into his house directly if released from constraint. By Mr. Wursciastt--Hed not seen Mr. Brand since the 19th of. May, until within the last two days. A conversation here arose as to the propriety of again summoning Mr. Alderman Wood as a witness. A letter was read from the worthy Alderman's son, stating that his father was in Gloucestershire. A juryman declared that he could not give a con scientious verdict without hearing Alderman Wood's evidence. He would sit there daily for six weeks rather than not hear all the evidence. Mr. Brand proposed that Mr. Dunne should be examined. The CHIRP COII4ISSIONER said, that from parti War circumstances he should be compelled to ad journ the further proceedings at twenty minutes to four o'clock. MG Young wished to state, that Mr. Gates, Messrs. Sphinx and Co., and others, had refused to act for the defence,without, a guarantee as to expenses. The CHIRP ComtismNutt:said, all necessary ex penses would be p a id out o f th e estate. The Lord Chancellor would direct that. Mr. Brand expressed his astonishment at this. Mr. Young said, patties would not come forward to assist, because Mr. Brand had declared that if the verdict was in his favour, he would not pay a farthing. Mr. Brand- - I will pay my own expenses certainly, but it cannot be supposed I will pay the expenses of Mr. Fitxbrand, the promoter of tins case. Other witnesses were then called on behalf of Mr. Brand, but they were not in attendance. Mr. Austin asked Mr. Brand how many witnesses he thought be would call ? Mr. Brand---As I have been considered eccentric from my boyhood up, I shall call witneuee on the subject. I should think about 200 will be summoned. After some further discussion the , prolsdinP were adjourned to Saturday next. THE MARKETS. COAL MARI Beaumont 30s. 9d.
