SPIRIT OF THE Pl I3LIC JOURNALS. It has been already hinted that all necessity for the presence of Don Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil, in Portugal, terminated with the restora tion of the lawful Queen to her dominions, and that the continuance of his Imperial Majesty there would much tend to embarrass his daugh ter's Government, as well in its relation to the Portuguese people as to the states most closely allied to and connected with it. What charac ter or capacity could Don Pedro sustain in Por tugal ? He is not King of Portugal ; he has not only recognised, but enforced by arms, his daughter's right to that sovereignty. Don Pe dro chose to be Emperor of Brazil, and whilst in full enjoyment of the Brazilian throne, he sur rendered formally the succession to that of Por tuaal in his daughter's favour—an act of state which stands registered among the records of every Government in Europe and America, and which has become an integral por tion of the law of the civilized world. That Don Pedro no longer holds the Brazi lian seeptre, is not acribable to any interference or act of Portugal, or its infant Queen. His Imperial Majesty's failure to retain the affections or obedience of his Brazilian subjects can in no wise, therefore, influence the already fixed rela tions between Donna Maria and the Portuguese people, any more than it can the rights of Wil liam IV. to the crown of this United Kingdom. If Don Pedro, then, should prolong his resi dence in Portugal, it cannot be as Mo narch of that country,—it cannot be for the sake of effecting a usurpation as treache rous, atrocious, and unnatural as that of Miguel himself; to the detriment of his own offspring. Not being Sovereign, could Don Pedro, still the head of the House of Braganza, remain in Portugal as anything below the rank of King? Not, we fear, as an ordinary subject. The habit of dominion would cling to the vic torious Prince. Partisans would at all events, in disparagement of the rights of a female infant, declare for a Monarch of mature age, however dis qualified by legal and constitutional objections, lit tle within the understanding of an ignorant multi tude. Intrigues would spring up on every side, and the country might be plunged into all the horrors of another disputed succession, without the shadow of participation or even privity on the part of those in whose name, and in fur therance of whose alleged pretensions, the con test would be carried on. But as between Sove reign and ordinary Portuguese subject, is there any middle denomination befitting the person of Don Pedro ? Could he act as Regent, in the name and on behalf of his daughter, the reign ing Queen ? On this point we refer to the letter of a correspondent, who adduces argu ments founded on the constitutional charter of Portugal, to show that Don Pedro is wholly disqualified, by virtue of express articles of the charter, from exercising the office of Regent. By this charter, the permanent Regency, during the minority of the Monarch, must have for one of its members the member of the Royal Family who is next in succession to the crown. At present Don Miguel would be the person answering that description, but we take for granted that the first formal act of the provisional Regency now governing in the Queen's name would be, by a right inherent in all lawful Governments, to out law the usurper who had seized her crown, and attacked by sea and land the forces which bore her commission, as a rebel and traitor, and to render him for ever incapable of enjoying any rights, or fulfilling any duties, appertaining to a Prince of the House of Braganza within the dominions of Donna Maria 11. The necessity of the case, as well as considerations of expediency, would then probably suggest the appointment of the elder Princess, aunt of the Queen, as Regent pro forma during the minority, leaving the executive power substantially in the hands of the statesman now acting as provisional Regent for her Majesty, assisted by certain col leagues. At the same time that Don Pedro would himself be aware of the wisdom of retiring from a scene where his presence could only em broil those paramount interests for which he has already done so much, no effort ought to be spared towards rendering his Imperial Majesty's retreat as dignified and consistent with his rank and moral rights as was in the power of a loyal and dutiful daughter to make it. Every arrival from Portugal will now teem with im portance, anti many circumstances may occur to demand from the British Government proofs of a manly, decided, and generous policy in support of its re-established ally. We are under little uneasiness with regard to Spain. She is fami liar with the treaties which bind Great Britain to the defence and protection of Portugal against all foreign enemies, and we presume she is not ignorant how much the public spirit of this coun try would outrun the most vigorous measures of the Government, or the most exigent obligations of any written compacts. But, we repeat, we have no fears on this head, and observe without surprise that Lord Althorp last night disclaimed " any feeling of jealousy towards Spain."— Mr. O'Connell complained last night of a xnigepresentation of his speech on the subject of the Foreign Enlistment Act, which ap peared in the Times of yesterday. We only refer to tLe Honourable and Learned Gentle man's complaib:t, because he made the following observations with regard to the report in the Morning Chronicle :—" The excuse of a noise in the House could not avail in this instance, for his real sentiments—the sentiments he had uttered, were given in the Morning Chro nicle most exactly—in a way which he could only characterise as a model for reporting, so accurately was it done."—Leaving to our contem porary tofight his own battles with Mr.O'Connell, we have merely to remark, that the same gen tleman who reported his speech so much to his satisfaction on Tuesday night, has reported scores of his speeches in the course of the session, and from what we know of him, we are sure that on every occasion he discharged his duty with equal fidelity and equal ability. We are sure, also, that there is not a gentleman on this estabiiAment, who, down to the period when the Hon. and Learned Gentleman made so coarse and unjust an attack on all reporters without exception, who was not equally desirous to do justice to him : and who, making allow ance for accidental errors, did not report him with fairness and ability. But where was Mr. O'Connell's sense of justice, when he libelled all reporters, treating them as a set of low miscreants, who were picked up by the proprietors of newspapers, to do for the wages of journeymen carpenters, a duty formerly discharged by gentlemen and scholars at a liberal salary ? Does Mr. O'Connell think that gentle men can easily forget these insults ? Or does he think that any praise can be of value from one who was so little scrupulousin censuring ? This, however, is a subject on which we do not wish to enlarge. Mr. O'Connell's character can only he injured by himself. If he be satisfied with his own conduct, well and good. All we have to say is, that as a man possessed of great energy and acuteness, and eloquence of no ordi nary kind, no account of the proceedings of Parliament would he properly executed, in which full justice is not done to Mr. O'Connell. This measure of justice, we conceive, he has hitherto received from us ; and we are sure that no gen tleman on this establishment will allow himself to be influenced in reporting Mr. O'Connell, or any other Member of Parliament, by any other consideration than a sense of the value of their speeches to the public at large. But Members of Parliament will see the propriety of abstain ing from all sweeping accusations against the press in general, because in some portion of the press justice has been done to them. What can he more discouraging to a man conscious of having honourably discharged his duty, than to hear himself involved in a sweeping censure of the whole press, merely because the Hon. Mem ber who makes it has not the courage nor the manliness to single out the paper which has misrepresented him ?—)Horning Chronicle. Ministers are likely to make their exit for the session, or as the performers at another theatre would say, for the season, with somewhat more of eclat than many of their acts would imply. One of the greatest errors into which they had fallen was the idea that by a vote of the House of Commons they could alter the public opinion with regard to the assessed taxes. That idea, however, they have had good reason to relinquish, and we are happy to find from what occurred in the House of Commons last night, that they have relinquished it in good earnest. The house tax, at all events, is to be given up next session. Retiring with a pledge to that effect, the Ministers will leave behind them a more fa vourable impression than could be extracted from the memory of their most elaborate speeches, and when they return again to the performance of their Parliamentary duties they will be wel comed, if for no other reason, in the hope that their pledge will be then redeemed. Indepen dently of all party considerations, however, we rejoice at the prospect of so great a relief as the public may fairly expect to realize within a short period from the present time.—Morn. Herald. We published on Saturday last an abridged report of the proceedings at a meeting of the freemen of Liverpool, which was held for the purpose of manifesting their gratitude to J. Nichol), Esq., the Member for Cardiff; for the zeal, energy, and talent which he had exhibited in the Committee of the House of Commons in defence of their rights. A variety of topics of a more pressing nature have hitherto prevented us from recurring, as we had intended, to the sub ject of this meeting, although there are few subjects of greater or more lasting importance. The freemen of Liverpool are justly indignant at the invasion which is meditated upon their rights, and the violation which they have reason to apprehend it is intended to commit upon the sacred and immutable principles of justice in their persons. It is evident also, from all that occurred at the meeting to which we refer, that a large proportion of the inhabitants, of all ranks and classes, of the great, wealthy, and important town of Liverpool, fully sympathize in the feelings of their fellow townsmen, the bur gesses, and are determined to assist to the ut most of their power in repelling the foul and manifest injustice with which the bur gesses are threatened. It is the mere cant of arbitrary injustice to say, in reference to such a case as that of the burgesses of Liverpool, that corruption is a great crime, and one which ought to be severely punished. It is the mere parade of wanton and profligate and impudent hypocrisy to vindicate the course which has been recommended in this case by the barren and empty truism that the constituency of Liver pool ought to be made pure. These are pro positions which nobody ever thought of deny ing. But crime is not punished, but screened and protected rather—relieved, at least, from the severer part of its proper punishment, the dis grace which ought to follow its detection—when, as is proposed by certain wise and liberal legis lators, the innocent are confounded with the guilty, and an equal penalty awarded to each. Nor can any numerous constituency be effectu ally purified by beholding the highest authority in the State act the part of an oppressor—in flict indiscriminate vengeance—proclaim, not in words, but in the more impressive and inde lible language of its deeds, to the guilty, that they shall have innocent and honour able sharers in their fate—to the innocent and honourable, that they might just as well, for any difference that the legislature will con descend to make in favour of innocence and honour, have been guilty and base—to all the world, that in the high estimation of a reformed Parliament guilt and innocence, corruption and parity, honour and baseness, are exactly alike. Assuredly it is not by such measures and such doctrines as these that public murals or political purity are to be maintained or restored. The course which it is proposed to pursue towards the whole body of the freemen of Liverpool would be so gross an outrage upon the plainest principles of equity, so palpable a contempt of the simplest rules of common sense, that it would have been surprising indeed had the mere idea of a thing so monstrous failed to excite the warmest and most general indignation among all classes of the inhabitants of that borough. There is no evidence, nor even su mucti as no accusation, against more than one out of every four or five of the body of burgesses, which, in their character of burgesses, it is proposed to disfranchise in the lump ; while, to add to the absurdity, if that were possible, and to aggra vate the iniquity of the intention, if it ad mitted of aggravation, much the larger pro portion of those burgesses whose guilt has been established by evidence are to be permitted to continue voters for the borough of Liverpool, because, although they are convicted of having taken bribes, they possess the redeeming merit of occupying houses worth ten pounds by the year. And this is said to be a measure of puri fication. What consummate and insufferable nonsense ! It is a measure cunningly devised no doubt for the purpose, not of purifying the old electors of boroughs, but of corrupting the new electors. It proclaims to the former that innocence is no protection—to the latter, that guilt may be incurred by them with safety—to both, that in the view of the Legislature there is no distinction between innocence and guilt, but a great distinction between burgesses and house holders, between rights derived from ancient charters and rights conferred by " the Bill." This view of the subject has been very generally taken by the burgesses of every ancient borough in the kingdom. The proceedings against the freemen of Liverpool are felt to be an attack upon the rights and security of freemen everywhere. No evidence of corruption at the last election at Liverpool could be found, during a rigorous inves igation. The fair inference from this is, that n Liverpool, if once corrupt, had purified itself, for which, instead o f p un i s h men t, th e borough was entitled, undoubtedly, to high praise. In stead of praise, however, an inquiry by preju diced and partial inquisitors is undertaken into scenes long past : and this inquiry, necessarily. Imperfect from the loss of evidence, probably unfairly conducted, from the known prejudices and predilections of many of the inquirers, is to be made, as it appears, the foundation of such a measure as we have above described ; of a ' measure which does less than nothing for purity of election, but every thing for one class of voters in contradistinction to another; of a measure which while it makes the free men of corporations penally responsible, the whole for any part, conveys to the ten-pound household electors a monopoly of bribery, and a full assurance of impunity in committing it. Is it surprising, then, that the freemen of Bristol and Nottingham, and Newcastle and Coventry, and Exeter and Hull, and Canterbury and Chelmsford, and Shrewsbury and many other boroughs, have taken the alarm, and have determined to consider the cause of the freemen of Liverpool as their own ; or that the local Press, wherever there are free men enjoying the elective franchise uncler a charter, has manifested considerable anxiety upon this subject ? Morning Post. • COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 7. IN THE MATTER OF THE SUITORS. Mr. BEAMS appeared in support of a petition in the above matter. The petition stated that the fourth clerk is the Report-office bad died ; that upon such a death the under clerks usually moved a step upwards ;• that Mr. Rainsford, the Master of the Report-office, did not mean to fill up the vacancy, in consequence of what had passed elsewhere; that the petition was therefore that of the clerks, and prayed that their salaries might be respectively increased, just as if they had really taken the steps up wards, which, in olden times, as matter of course they would have been permitted to take. The Loan CnANCELLOR said the prayer of the petition must stand over for the present. CARR V. YROTIIEROE. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL stated in consequence of the suggestion which had fallen from the Court the other day, that probably the parties might come to some arrange ment between themselves upon the matter in dispute, be (Sir Charles) had bestowed a great deal of consideration upon that suggestion, and the result of it was an offer of ter ms of compromise which he had committed to paper, and which, if the other side would not accept of he would on no account deviate from, but submit to take what the Court might consider his client (the plaintiff) in justice entitled to. Mr. PEPYS on the other side requested to have till to morrow morning to consider of the offer, neither his client nor himself having heard of the terms until that moment. Postponed accordingly. The terms were not stated in Court. His LORDSHIP proceeded with the bankrupt petitions that were on the paper. EXCHEQUER COURT, AUG. 7. SMITH V. SMITH. This was a question arising out of the bankruptcy of Mr. Moberly. It was a bill filed by the assignees 0* the bankrupt to recover a sum of 1.5,000/. stock, assigned over to the defendant to secure to him a sum of 10,000/. The question mainly turned upon the construction of the fith George IV., namely, as to whether under the provisions of that Act an assign ment was good in law or not. The LORD CHIEF BARON could not decide this case with propriety without reference to the consi deration of a Court of law, either in the shape of a cause or upon the record as it stood. He regretted exceedingly the inconvenience this would occasion to the parties, but he was sure that if he adopted a different course, no judgment he could give would prove satisfactory or conclusive. The case might be argued early next term. PENLEAZE IP. ELIVES. This was a bill filed for the specific performance of a contract of sale. The defendant purchased the estate of Bossington, in Hampshire, for the sum of 23,5001., and one of the conditions of sale mentioned in the auctioneer's proposals was, that the purchaser should pay immediately into the hands of the vendor a deposit of twenty per cent, on the purchase money, and to pay the remainder in the July follow. ing, until which time the purchaser was not to be let into possession of the property. There was another condition, stating that the estate was to be sold, subject to a mortgage of 6,0001., in consequence of which the present purchaser would have the advantage of not being obliged Im mediately to pay the whole of the purchase money. The question in dispute was, whether the pur chaser became charged with the payment of this mortgage. The LORD CHIEF BARON entertained no doubt whatever respecting the construction of the instru ment and terms of - sale. The estate was stated in the conditions of sale to be sold subject to a mort gage, and the purchaser, therefore, was not obliged to pay the whole purchase money. A decree must be pronounced for the plaintiff, but he would re serve the consideration of costs. His LORDSHIP, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. BEAMS, as to whether he would sit beyond the pre sent week, said that as he had left the Circuit for the purpose of hearing out all the causes, it was still his intention to do so, as long at least as he could get Counsel to attend. The House of Lords was sitting, the House of Commons was sitting, the Lord Chancellor was sitting, and all the other Judges were sitting on Circuit, and he did not see why the Court of Exchequer should not sit. He should be sorry to deprive Mr. Beams, or any other Learned Counsel, of the pleasure of grouse shoot. ing.—(A laugh.) CONSISTORY COURT, AUG. 7. BROWN V. BROWN. This was a suit promoted by Mrs. Emma Brown against Mr. John Brown, her husband, for a divorce on the ground of adultery. Th. Kiwi's ADVOCATE stated the case. The parties were married 3FI March, 1828, and a child was the issue. They separated in 1831, when Mr. Brown went to Devonport to practise as a barrister there, and from the evidence on the whole it was alleged that he had on several occasions committed adultery, and with two females, &C. There could not be any doubt, the Learned Civilian st a t e d, that the facts as stated were proved, and that the Court must pronounce for the prayer of the wife. Dr. ADDAMS, on the part of the husband, con tended that the suit was the result of a conspiracy; that there was not a sha dow o f proof that the hus band had committed adultery, the with iden wmceitomit the factwas a belilnegegtdhat Mr.of cßcommonhad committed the a cts strumpets, charged. Dr. LUSHINGTON considered the charge ofadultery had been made out. He therefore felt bound to pronounce for the divorce, and to condemn Mr. Brown in costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, AUG. 7. PENNY THEATRES.—Robert Fisher, age d 17, was charged with having feloniously stolen a two pound weight, value 6d., the property of George Matthews. Mary Smith deposed, that upon th e even i ng of the Bth of July the prisoner came into the shop of her master, for the purpose . of purchasing a ticket for a private theatre,. situated in Ironmonger -court, 1 0 ,e l i ts y t . ree T t. her T .e h w e .a p i r a ic . e 2l o b f . w th .e e ig t h ic t k u e p t: n a t s he o c n o ly un o te n r e , which was missed a short time after the prisoner had left the shop. In consequence of this, witness went to the theatre with a police constable, and found the prisoner comfortably seated, and seem ingly prepared to enjoy to the full the amusement of the evening. When the prisoner was searched, the weight was found upon him. Another witness, named Pritchard, corroborated this statement. The police constable who took the prisoner into custody stated that this theatre was a most infa mous and blackguard place—a complete nursery for thieves. The name of the play was Shakspeare Murdered. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HO USE. THE CORPORATION AND THE WATERMEN OF GRAVESEND. —Mr. Drinkald, the Common Coun cilman, appeared at the Justice-room for the pur pose of replying to the charge made against him by the Deputy Mayor, of having misrepresented the present condition of the watermen at Gravesend. The affair had made a great noise, and he had given notice to the Deputy Mayor, who had made the charge, and the Town-clerk, of his intention to make his public contradiction at the Mansion-house. The LORD MAYOR postponed the hearing for an hour, and then, neither Deputy Mayor nor Town clerk, nor any officer at Gravesend having appeared, desired Mr. Drinkald to proceed. Mr. Drinkald stated that the Deputy Mayor's statement was wholly at variance with the fact. That the pre s ent wooden erection at Gravesend was a nuisance, and a most decided obstruction to the navigation of the Thames, was acknowledged and urged by Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, and several other Admirals and high officers of the navy, pilots and others, who gave evidence before Parlia ment. The LORD MAY0R.....-It struck me that one of the Deputy Mayor's assertions was rather odd. It was that, notwithstanding the erection of the pier, the watermen were as much employed now as they were before the pier was built. I should like to know that for the poor men's sake. Mr. Drinkald declared that the statement was a gross exaggeration of the receipts of the unfortunate watermen. He had ascertained all the facts relative to their condition. The consequences of the erec tion were actually ruinous to them. The number employed in taking passengers to and from the steam boats use to be 375. Seventy-five men each day took their turns five days in the week, as well as others who were not in the turn way. These men received fourpence each passenger. At the present time, no more than 24 men were employed each day, at three shillings each day; so that if all the men were employed, they would only get one day out of 15. No doubt, after next month, not more than 12 men would be employed, and then the men would have only one day out of 31—there was a support for the poor men and their families ! The LORD MAYOR—Under such circumstances, and finding that the Corporation have not, as you say, complied with the Act of Parliament, it would, in my opinion, be prudent to proceed against the body for a violation so unwarrantable in every respect. But it has been said that the Navigation Committee are the best judges. Mr. Drinkald said that aridiculous assertion of that kind had been made. Was there, he would ask, a single nautical man on that Committee, or could any person en it be put in competition with the high naval authorities who were examined before the Parliamentary Committee? Barges were moored at the end of the pier, beyond the lights, so that the lights might now prove a deception, and be the occasion of the loss of lives as well as an obstruction to the watermen in landing passengers. Corpora tions were often spoken of as systematic jobbers. The Corporation of Gravesend were certainly very kind to themselves. The Town Clerk acted as solicitor, the Chamberlain as carpenter and builder, and the blacksmith, painter, and others employed in the job, were also members of the body. They were now exacting money which, until the new pier should be erected, they could have no legal claim to. If the temporary pier were not in existence, all the watermen would be in full work, and the parish books would not be swelled with lists of paupers from amongst the industrious and hard working classes. The LORD MAYOR observed, that a number of boatmen had signed their consent to the regulations of the Corporation. Mr. Drinkald declared that the poor men signed on the apprehension (and a well-founded one it was) that they would not obtain relief from the parish if they were not obedient. With respect to the ex citement said by the Deputy Mayor and Town Clerk to have existed, that excitement was made not amongst the boatmen, but amongst the other parishioners, on the question how they were to pay the poor -rates during the winter months. It ap peared from the report in the newspapers, that he (Mr. Drinkald) was an exciter or agitator amongst the boatmen. What he had endeavoured to do was to prevent excitement ; and certainly the way to check it was not by depriving the poor of the means of supporting themselves and their wives and families. The LORD MAYOR thought there was something extraordinary in the Deputy Mayor's statement, that such numbers of watermen were employed about the pier, for he did not show how they were employed. • Mr. Drinkald—The whole matter has been mis represented to your Lordship. I gave the authori ties of Gravesend due notice of my intention to come here and meet them publicly, and they have thought proper to decline the invitation, although the interests of so many poor families are con cerned. They have insinuated that lam an in terested party in this affair. The accusation is most false. The only interest I feel is in the fate of these poor men, who, with the power and the will, and the right to work, are thrown out of employment and turned into beggars. Mr. Dlinkald said that he knew that multitudes looked for his contradic tion to the erroneous and URiUSt statements of the Deputy Mayor and the rown Clerk, whose asser tions were likely to prejudice the case of the water men. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. CtiRIOUS CASE.—Yesterday, a young man, named John Leigh, was charged with having obtained half a pound of segars by means of a forged order from Mr. Moore, of From the evidence of Mr. Moore, it appeared that he and the accused were upon intimate terms, and had been together on Tuesday night in a public house in Berwick-street, with other friends. In the course of the evening the prisoner left the room, but returned in a short time. Subsequently he (the prosecutor) went home, when his shopboy said, " I have sent you the best cigars." This led to an in quiry, on which the boy gave his master a written order, which was as follows : " Frank—Let the bearer have half a pound of the beat aegare." ‘. MooktE." Mr. Moore, on looking at it, denied all knowledge of the writing, and the lad then said it was Mr. Leigh who brought the paper. On going to the public-house Leigh was sitting smoking a segar, and he was then given in charge. After some conversation amongst the friends, Mr. DYER said he should remand the case, and take bail for the re-appearance of the accused. MAR YL EB ONE. Mary Webster, alias Webb, a well-dressed young woman, the daughter of respectahle parents in Buckingham-place, Fitzroy-square, and who, it is supposed, has for some time past carried on a system of swindling to a considerable extent, was charged ,inder the following circumstances : Mr. David Garton, of Fotcy-house, Tichfield street, deposed that on Thurstity last, at four o'clock, the prisoner entered ha shop, saying she came from Lady Duncannen, of Cavendish-square, and looked out a quantityof sheets, table linen, &c., ro a large amount, desisng that they might be sent home to her Ladyship in a few hours. She then ,tared that she felt Tery faint, and was accommo dated with a glass ta gin and water. After this she looked out two pals of shoes for her Ladyship to try, and took then away with her, promising to re turn them directly, h ene e7e.i f tieirno ifitting. He (witness), suspecting that tjhvas not right, followed her, and"saw her enter two other shops— Mr. Arnold's, Bcrners-street, glover, and Mr. Jordan's, ironmonger, Wells-street. Still keeping her in view he proceeded on to Wardour•street, in company with Mr. Arnold's shoproan, and on overtaking her he hinted his suspicions, at the same time requesting that she would go with them to Lady Duncannon's, where the truth of ber story or its falsehood could easily be ascertained. With some reluctance she accompanied them, and on arriving at the house he (witness) made inquiry, and was informed that her Ladyship had no knowledge what ever of the prisoner. She then gave up the shoes belonging to him, as also some gloves of Mr. Ar nold's, and a pair of snuffers, the property of Mr. Jordan, which she had stolen. After much en treaty she was suffered to depart, but was subse quently taken into custody by a policeman who had received from Mr. Jordan information of the rob bery. He (witness) had returned to the parties, previously, the gloves and snuffers in question. William Jordan, Mr. Arnold, and a police con stable corroborated the foregoing facts. The prisoner, who said that she did not mean to steal the things, and would never act so again if liberated, was remanded till Tuesday next. HATTON-GARDEN. RESISTANCE OF RATE-PAYERS.-FOr some time past the greatest discontent has existed in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, in consequence of the rate-payers conceiving that they had been unjustly dealt by and overcharged. In many instances the collectors, it is said, have charged for warrants or summonses when they were not entitled to do so, and after having charged for several quarters' rates they have consented to receive a reduced sum, which excited some suspicion; and this, coupled with the refusal to allow a free in spection of the parish accounts, has caused the rate-payers to resist, in a determined man ner, demands made upon them which they conceived to be unjust. The consequence was, that a great number of the inhabitants refused to pay the paving, church, and poors' rates; and applica tion having been made by the collectors for distress warrants they were immediately granted, and in several instances, when they had been executed, rows, assaults and batteries, insults, and violent language have been indulged on both sides, until yesterday, when Mr. Edward Jones, confectioner, of Theobald's•row, Red Lion-square, was brought up on a warrant, charged by Mathias Weldhon, in spector of pavements to the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, with having committed a violent assault upon him. _ Weldhon on Saturday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, met Mr. Hazlehurst, a collector of taxes, who requested him to accompany him to the house of the defendant, where he was going to levy a distress warrant for the poor and paving rate. Witness consented, and on entering the place, the defendant exclaimed, " Pray, who are you ? What business have you here ?" On which he swore that he would break every bone in his skin, and with great violence forced him (Weldhon) out of the house. The defendant was ordered to find bail. THE MOORS.—The departures for the moors during the last few days for the north have been very numerous. Count MaTuszEwtc, and other distinguished Russians, are expected to arrive on Saturday or Sunday from the Continent to join in the sports of the field, which will commence with grouse shooting on Monday next. The Earls of DARLINGTON and EGLINTOWN, Lords CASTLEREAGH, KINNAIRD, GARDNER, Hon. SYDNEY HERBERT, Sir ROBERT GORDON, &C., are among the sportsmen who are gone to the Highlands. The Duke of GORDON has invited a !age party of Noblemen and gen tlemen at his residence in Scotland, where the game is most abundant. SINGULAR GOOD FORTUNE.-WILLIAM HEPPLEWHITE, an apprentice on board the Indian, be• longing to Shields, last year purchased an old clothes chest for three shillings, which, on being examined by the Custom-house officers in Cork, where the vessel is now delivering cargo, was discovered to have a false bottom, under which were found upwards of 2,oool.—Durham Chronicle. DREADFUL FIRE, AND PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF TWO PERSONS FROM BEING BURNT TO DEATH.—On Tuesday morning, about a quarter past one, a policeman named EDWARD LAMBERT, No. 4 of the S division, was going his rounds, when be discovered smoke issuing from the lower part of the house of Mr. BROWN, cheesemonger, No. 59, Brill-row, Somers town. About this time a Mrs. Eviais, a lady who lodged in the house, made her appearance at the second floor window in her night-clothes screaming "Fire !" and was so alarmed that she was about jumping out into the street, when some of the neighbours prevailed of her to desist, by assuring her she would be rescued by other means. Inspector EvAws, of the S division, who had just arrived with the men on reserve at the station-house in Phanix-street, close by, collected several of the strongest of them together, and made a forcible rush at the shop-door, which they succeeded in breaking in, and on ROBERT IsaacsoN, 36 of the E division, entering the passage, be discovered Mr. Bitowst, with his little boy in his arms, who is between eight and nine years of age, endeavouring to descend the staircase, which was then in flames, but the smoke and heat was so excessive, that Mr. BROWN fell forwards in a state of insensibility, with the child, into the blazing fire. ISAACSON most fortu nately caught hold of him by one of his arms, and drew him out ; he still firmly grasped his child, who was ap parently lifeless ; they, however, were eventually recovered. The situation of the rest of the family and lodgers was at this time truly dreadful; but we are happy to state, that by the help of ladders, and the judicious and prompt arrangement made by the men employed by the London Fire Company, they were all, seventeen in number, extri. cated without sustaining any injury. The house then burnt very fiercely until it was completely gutted. DREADFUL FIRE.—SIX LIVES LOST.— On Saturday night last, a little before 12 o'clock, one of the watchmen on duty in Scotland-road observed an ap pearance of fire in the third floor of a flour-warehouse, belonging to Mr. Jonw FAIRHURST, who carries on the business of a baker in the lower part of the building, the shop having been open a few rainutes before. The alarm was instantly given ; but, before any thing in the way of prevention could be done, the flames buret out through the windows with fury. By 12 o'clock the entire roof of the warehouse was on fire, and at half-past 12 it fell in sending up in its fall a terrific and sudden body of flame. About 20 minutes after 1 o'clock the interior of the ware house had nearly burnt out, and, as the end to Meadows street was very narrow, and the walls very high, the aspect it presented was very threatening. At 25 minutes after 1 o'clock the tall side-wall was perceived to give way; the cry of "'Tie coming !" was given, and all fled with the exception of some men who were in or on the sawpit, and one man on the roof of it, who had not time to escape before the wall fell forward with a most tremendous crash, extending across the yard and carrying with it the join.r's shop, the roof of the sawpit, and the side-wall of the adjoining dwelling-house. The crash was so heavy, and the sound so dismal, that they were distinctly heard by the peopleewrastde.bed: known n i tve n :es awcdta b np e bed tdhl ol themselves, mnrAboisamertdi.hvet escaped the ic u ara p pof p :oo e odfr s r u;: p :r a hbo r euu t wrtgeh o h wfo,tweheerlonEverson. the lament btenhlnoiect rtSrhehavet house er f a it h l cate w s ys less than six fellow-creatures buried in the ruins. dust subsiding, rushed in with others, and instantly com menced removing the fallen rubbish, brick, and timber. In a few minutes the cry from one underneath was beard, and soon after a dead body was visible. They now re doubled their efforts, and a man's head was soon released from the rubbish. To the delight of all present, he breathed and spoke. Water was procured, and he looked wildly around him ; still his whole person was buried in the ruins, and when, with great difficulty, a portion of the bricks and dust were removed from his chest, it was dis covered that a large heavy piece of timber lay right across his thighs. A door having been procured, he was care fully conveyed to the infirmary, where, we are gl a d t o hear, be is doing well. His name is WILLIAM HETES. Two bodies were found on removing HEYES, and these W w a e s re fo c u o n n d ve n y o ed tfa in r t f o r o t m l e w s a h m e r e e public tbey h lay o ; u a se. nd atA f n o o u te r h o cna loc a k a another was taken out. The sawpit was on the extreme south of the yard , and almost six feet below it another body was found within a few inches of the surface. It was dreadfully bruised, and was, no doubt, the person who sat on the roof. The features of the others were frightfully disfigured, black and swollen.—Since writing the above, we have been told that another body was found yesterday evening, making six in all, in addition to the man sent to ih e infirmary.—..
