() liit'l' OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. GALE. The information in this case was filed by the Attorney- G eneral to recover penalties for frauds committed by the :fondant, in his business of a soap manufacturer. There were a number of counts in the information, and g e penalties sought to be recovered amounted to near 40 ,000/ The SOLICITOR•GENERAL (with whom was Mr. TAN 'tED and Sir GEORGE GREY) stated the case, which was Of the usual nature. The defendant had a way of opening t he boiler after it had been sealed up by the Excise officers, l'ithout injuring the seal. He did so, and removed the to a room that was not entered. Suspicion being tlC itedi a search was made, and a room found abo v e an i shed, in which was found 1,368 lbs. of liquid soap * etch had been taken out of the boiler during the night. j The case was proved by an officer, when the Learned libnE asked Mr. Hill, who appeared for the defendant, * hat answer he had to make to it. Mr. H IL L said he was afraid he could not alter the ,l'ets; he must throw himself upon the mercy of his Mond the Learned Solicitor. Lord LYNDHURST said the penalties would prove the t hin of the defendant. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he would be content * ith one penalty of 500/. Mr. HILL said that would be equally bad for his client 41 if the whole were asked. Lord Lvstotinasr suggested that the Solicitor-General Nht to be merciful to Mr. Hill on account of the ( kality. (The defendant resides in Hull.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was afraid the prac ee had been carried on for a long time, and he could not 4 lte less. • A verdict for 5001. was accordingly returned. THE FUNDS.- 7 -(THIs DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Indicateur de Bourdeaux states that St. Sebastian 3 / 4 been declared a free port, and tbdt provisions are 401indint in that town, brought there by French vessel•. tL Accounts from Midrid state that Buurmont passed tough Merida to embark, and that Don Carlos was still t Castello Branco, or in the environs. Several arrests have taken place at Madrid, amongst the clervy. i . vn General Quesado has shot twenty of the Royalist V olunteers, who were going over to the enemy with their 14 q , 4 and baggage. New Brunswick papers to the 27th October, and D emerara to the Bth October, have been received at the N orth and South American Coffee-house. The former 44 not contain any news, and the latter are of old dates. TliE FUNDS. The Consol market still continues in a languid state, at t he price they left off yesterday, 87k, SS, with scarce a b argain doing, as the brokers and jobbers are busy settling their accounts against to• morrow. It was generally expected that the express from Paris 41 , morning would have brought the official srrival of t ne battle in Spain with Saarsfield and Merino, in which the S p e culators have been disappointed. The Foreign market is in the same state as that of the Dritish ; prices nominal as per yesterday. HALF.PAST ONE. The Montreal Advertiser, of the 23,1 October, has been received at the N,•rth and South American Coffee house, from which we extract the following : The want of money continues unabated, for though t he City Bank has rendered some as , istance, it of course colnd be, at this early period, but trifling. The demand for gieods has dimini , hed suddenly. It is now found that the season will close with lar g er stocks in this city, by far than had been contemplated. The I private .ettera from Paris, of Sunday, stale that the Itlce ess of General Saarsfield was credited there on that in consequence of which the ltentes were dune at 75f. 40c. Consols have continued during the morning at 871 to 88 for Account ; for ne xt time, 88 little doing. The Foreign Market remains inactive. Spanish, 231 s ; Portuguese Regent Stock, 60-4- No fresh arrivals as yet. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88. At Taunton the quartern loaf' is selling for 6id, and the bread ie equal to any in the kingdom. In the same town excellent (lry bacon retailed at 6d. per Pound, and excellent cider at 2d. per quart. The St. Ives mackarel fishery is nearly closed for the season ; it has been one of the longest remem ered..— West Britan. BRIGHTON, Nor. 25. The unfavourable change in the weather yesterday after noon pr , vented the usual display of fashion which the drives and promenades afford ; and the hail, which is now coming down in great abundance, is likely to produce a similar tffect to-day. His Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Augusta, took his accustomed drive yesterd4y, and, notwithstanding the boist,rous state of the weather, remained out longer than usu d. The Queen did not leave the Palace during the whole of the day; neither did her Majesty attend divine service, in consequence of a slight indisposition from cold. The increase of visiters here latterly falls far short of what was expected at the commencement of the season. Parties, and other means of general amusement, which heretofore were in full vigour at this period of the season, are at present scarcely perceptible, and " social inter course" is sadly neglected. It, is, therefore, much to be desired that some leader of the beau monde would set him self or herself seriously to work and make Brighton, as NI:. O'Connell says, what it used to be, and what it ought to be—viz. : " First flower of the earth and first gem of the sea!" The following persons, with the suite and household, had the honour of dining last evening with the King : Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Odle, Mr. Ogle, Sir Martin Archer Shee, and the Rev. F. F. Bowes. Colonel and Mrs. Clitheroe and Colonel Wynyard paid their respects to their Majesties yesterday. The Master of the Ceremonies' Ball will take place at the Old Ship Assembly-rooms on Wednesday next, and rumour says it will be numerously attended by the fashion alike) at present here.

T►,e Belgian Minister transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State far Foreign Affaires. Monsieur Lichtenberg acts as Charge d'Affaires during the absence of Baren d'Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minis ter, who has left town for the continent. The Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse to the King, bss had a fall from his horse, whilst riding near the Stud House, at Hampton Court. His Lordship is but sliehtly hurt, but it is considered advisable that be should be kept quiet for a few days. E.rl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Viscount Althorp, the Earl of Ripon, Lord Auckland, Sir James Graham, and Lord John Russell left town yesterday on a visit to the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey. The Marqui of Lansdowne and Viscount Melbourne left town for Woburn Abbey on Sunday. The Right Hon. Robert Grant, the Judge Advocate- General, arrived in town last evening from the continent.

Her Majesty the Queen is said to be one of the most accomplished female equestrians in the kingdom, and manages her horse with peculiar ease and grace. A distinguished person, who had the honour of accompany ing the Queen a few days agq in her ride at Brighton, - declared that he knew of no lady in England who rode better or who appeared to greater advantage on horseback. The income derived by the Bishop of Here ford from his new ecclesiastical appointment as Preb-n -dary of Westminster Abbey, on a yearly average, is 1,400/. The income of each Prebendary was a few years since only 1,200/. per annum, but from the leases of certain lands at Pimlico and about Tothill-fields in ground-rents, they share the above sum annually. The value of the incomes of the minor body was ascertained from one of its mem bers, and it appears that from the real collegiate estates, whilst a Prebendary receives 231. for each attendance, sixty-two in the year, minus 13s. 4d. when he does not attend, a minor is paid from the same fund about Is. Id. for each duty, ta•entyfour in the year. _ _ The performance of the Opera of Gustavus has been visited by the following personages :—The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, his Royal Uighne.s the Duke of Gloucester and suite ; the Dukes of Wellington.

Captain Howard, who was accidentally killed last week in Ireland, was in his 28th year ; he was pro moted to a company in March, 1827, and it was expected would have shortly avained his majority by purchase. He was elected far Morpeth at the last election, and the vacancy will probably be filled by the return of one of his brothers, or his uncle, the Hon. William Howard, who has already represented the borough. In consequence of the melancholy event, Lord and Lady Carlisle and family will stay at Castle Howard until after Christmas. THE HON. MR. AND MRS. LONG WEL LESLEY.-We understand, upon authority, that a separa tion has taken place between these parties upon terms mutually satisfactory, and the lady, with her son, a very interesting child, proposes immediately quitting C a l ms , tn.; to remain fir some time on the Continent. OXFORD UNlON.—Judging from the follow ing circumstance it would appear that the members of the rising generation of Oxonians are as bigotted enemies of reform as any of their present seniors and their predeces sors ; for at a meeting of the above Society (which comprises the elite of the University) on Thursday night, it was determined by a laage majority " that the Com mission of Inquiry into Municipal Corporations involved RA attack upon private prcperty."

Oa the saute evening, a fire broke out in a cottage on Hoveton common, inhabited by a poor old man, who was in bed at the time, anti it was with great difficulty he was removed before the flames retched his bed, It is susp-•cted to be the work of some cruel incen di a ry.—Norfo‘k Chronicle. THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IN 1790.-- We copy the following from a magaz ne for July, 1790 : "lilin, June 26.—This day,s Mr. Cooney, printer of the Morning Post, stood in the pillory in College-green , for copying from a London Paper the following paragraph: -- 6 The * • * was formerly a very domestic woman, hut now give: up too much of her time to politics.' "---[Sir James Searlett would have been in his glory if he had been Attorney-General in 1790.] SUlClDE.—Saturday morning a young woman of prepo. , sessing appearance, the wife of a pressman, in Paradise-row, Pancras-ro id, St. Pancras, named Rayden, ifter drinking four quarterns of ruin at the Friend-at - Hand pualie-house, went home, and a quarrel having ensued between her and her husband, she swallowed two ounces of (Mille acid. She then wrote upon a slip of paper that she died in peace with every one but her husband, and she was a corpse in about ten minutes after the suicidal act. She had been married only three month!. The inquest will be held to-day. STRAND THEATRE. Mr. J. RUSSELL, who recently opened this theatre for dramatic performances, but was compell , d to close it by the interposition of the Lor 1 Chamberlain, last night again threw open its doors for tie purpose of exhib ting to the public a monodramatic entertainment, called tle. Strand-ed Actor, or Recollections of Things which may or may not have happened, which the bills announce to be t‘ under the authority" of the potent censor of th,. stage. The circumstance in which Mr. RUSSELL stand would render harsh criticism ungenerous, even were there cruse for it, but we feel sincere gratification in stating that he acqitted himself in a manner which demand only unqu ilified praise. It may afford some idea of this gentleman's versatile talent to state, that in the course of t ,, e evening he sang no less than fifteen songs and duets, of various description, and amongst them were two or three of Dibdin's, which lie executed will considerable taste and feeling. We are surpfsed that Mr. RUSSELL did not introduce his imitations of performers, which, it we recollect right:y, he was accustomed to give very faith fully when he first appeared at Covent-garden about twelve years ago, as they would enliven the entertain ment, and probably be attractive to a numerous class o' play-goers. VICTORIA THEATRE. This house last night presented a combination of attrac • tions which, unless theatrical taste were entirely at an end, could not fail to draw a crowded audience, and we were glad to see that it was nearly if not entirely full. Tragedy, comedy, and opera, all on the same night, and all not to say passably but excellently well performed, is a thing not of frequent occurrence at any theatre. Ti , e performances were Romeo and Juliet, Captain Stevens, and the pleasing burletta of Midas. Miss ELPHINSTONE, who, a short time back, had obtained considerable praise in the character of Belvidera, was the Juliet upon this occasion. Perhaps it is vain to expect any very striking novelty in the manner of playing the leading characters of Shakspeare. Whatever dramatic genius this country has given birth to for the last two centuries has, in a great measure, been devoted to the study of thew characters, and to the manner of representing them most efficiently, justly. and successfully. It cannot he supposed, therefore, that much remains to be done, and one can now expect little more from a Romeo 43, a Juliet than that those who undertake to represent them should preserve a part at least of that excellence with which they have b-en performed either in recent or in former times. We did not go to the Victoria in the hope of meeting any new and very striking merit in the performance of Miss ELPHINSTONE, but she certainly performed the part in a manner which could not fail to gratify all who witnessed it.. Whatever is beautifully feminine in Juliet—her tenderness, her devotion in love, her innocence, and her timidity—were very well sup ported by this young lady. She has from nature, or at least she can assume, a pensiveness and gentleness of aspect that is well suited to the character, anti, if she he not a great, she is at least a highly interesting Capulet. Mr ABBOTT'S Romeo is w.II known, and he was not less effective last night than we have seen him upon previous occasions. The tragedy in every pirt was admirably sustained ; and managers who so ably and judiciously cater for the en , ertainment of the public, deserve encou ragement and success. Captain Stevens produced coats of laughter. It is a capitil interlude, full of fun and frolic. The burletta of Midas followed, in which Miss E. Roatxa was the Apollo among the immortals of this very amusing little piece. However it may be with the other qu difications required in that accomplished deity, Miss ROMER, at least in song and in exquisite symmetry of limb, might a little excite the envy, even of the god himself. ADELPHI THEATRE. L •st night a new burletta in three acts, called The Rake and his Pupil, or Fully, Love, and Marriage, was produced for the first time at this theatre, and °brained a reception pi-rhaps as deservedly flittering as any piece it has ever fallen to our lot to notice. It is the pi oduc , ion of Mr. BUCKSTONE, the already popu'ar author, and in this to him new style of dramatic composition, we think he has surpassed all his previous efforts. The incidents of the drama are developed in three acts. At the opening we find the Baron De Florville (Mr. BAYNE) intrusting his son, the Chevalier (Mr. IlEmmina), to the care of Rosenbert (Mr. YATES), a rake who had already distin guished him‘elt in affairs of gallantry, but of whose cha racter the Baron appe , ted to be comparatively ignorant. Rosenbert has long cherished a penchant for, though his advances are reject-d by, the Marchioness de Bans (Mrs. YATEs). The youth and his guide arrive in Pais. With a view of exciting the jealousy of the Marchioness, Rosen bert persuades De Florville to assume a female attire at a ball. The Marchioness enters into conversation with the disguised Chevalier, but speedily discovers the deception with true feminine tact. The Marquis de Bares (Mr. J. REEVE) is marked in his attentions, rather of the gr.° tesque character, to the pretended lair one; and, after a droll scene at a supper table, he insists, in a spirit of somewhat questionable hospitality, that the Chevalier and Rosenbert should remain else night at his chateau ; and the first act terminates by the Marchioness's discovery of an attempt on the part of her lord to violate the sanctity of the pseudo fair one's bed-chamber. In the second act the pupil has excelled his master as a suitor for the smiles of the fair sex. With the same disguise, but under a different name, we now find him domiciled at the summer retreat of the Count de Lignolle (Mr. W. BENNETT). The Marchioness, under pretence of obtaining the solution of a charade from the Count, visits the pavilion. A scene of smart and pointed warfare of the tongue ensues between the two ladies. The pre tended demoiselle is discovered by both husbands, to whom the name of De Florville, for certain reasons, had been long one of dread, and vengeance vowed. They attack the Chevalier, who in the mei& is slightly wounded. The reverse of the picture now presents itself. The rake re forms, returnine to his father's home to marry the object of his early affection. Bath ladies come on his wed ding_d ty without the knowledge of their husbands; or of each other, to advise with him upon the step lie is about to take. Just as they have foliilled the object of their visit they are surprised by hearing the voices of their lords. At the usual expose occasioned by their being disturbed Roaenbert adroitly removes the awkwardness of the meeting, by informing the husbands that the whole affair was a charade got up between the ladi-s and himself far ibe amusement of the Count de Lignolle, and the piece ends by the marriage of De Flor ville,and the reco:,ciliation of the angry lords with their wives. The drama abounds with a subtle satire, graceful yet pointed, which we have not been accustomed to hear in thon of recent production. Mr. YATES seemed to be Endued with new life, and performed the part of the roue with a force of colouring, yet truth to nature, which could not well be surpassed. He seemed to feel that he could render every justice to the character as drawn by the author, and the audience testified their approval of his exertions to give it due effect by their reps-aced applause. YATES, though in a part somewhat ❑ovel to her, portrayed with considerable elegance the fashionable Marchioness. Mr. REEVE, for a wonder, app uteri to be perfect in the language of his part, and was occasion ally very atnu•ing. We most also notice Mr. W. BEN. NETT, who, in the part of the old charade inventor, was exc,llent. On the whole it is long since it has fallen to our lot to afford such unqualified praise to any piece as we feel we may, without fear of contradiction, bestow on The Rake and his Pupil. On the falling of the curtain Mr. YATES announced its repetition for every night amid loud applause. Hailebury College, Herts, is immediately to be newly modelled, in a certain degree, according to the plan of the Right Hon. Charles Grant. The professors of the Hindoatanee and Sanscrit languages are to retir , un full salaries, as a remuneration for their past labours, and in future the pupils are to be taught both languages when they arrive in ludia.

CURIOU S DETECTION OF A THIEF.-011 Tuesday at the T own H a il, Sh e ffi e ld, a man named Pilley was charged wi t h stea l ing a fi ne barn door fowl.

The owner was satisfied it was his property, but timid not identify it sufficiently to swear to the saute. On being asked wbat the fowl had 1)- en fed on the previous day, white wheat was the reply.

REPORTED CHANGES AND REDUC- TIONS IN THE ARMY. TO THE EDITOR UP THE SUN. is repotted that the Ad i utmt and Qu ►rtet master-General are to e done away at the Horse Guard. , and that the duties of t he e dep trtmeo's are to be pet furmed by one officer, the chief of the Stiff, and to h under the Secretary at War,--one assititant in the two de oartments to remain. Tbe Adjutant and Quartermaster General department , it Batbadoe., Jamaica, Iflifax, and Canada, are to b lone away, the duties to be carried on by one offie,r a. those stations. . _ It has b-en recommended that all Commissariat Officers, as also Staff, should be changed every four years, as it it found that many of them, after long residence, become pro prietor?, firmers, &c., &c. ; and that, notwithstanding the •orders to the contrary, a large number of soldiers are toil -mployed, as servants, carpenters, masons, and all °Hit I trades, leaving the duties so much harder on the other soldiers. . . . 't has been found that after all the reduction that ha. t iken place, the duties are as ^ well carried on for th public ai before., and the expense of those Stiff Officers i enormous,—not the pay which appears before the public but the extraordinaries, of office rents, stationary, postage forage, coal, candles, fuel, horse-keepers, office-keeper. ne.sengers, and soldiers employed as orderlies and ser vants, which will allow a eduction of the troops in tht colonies. Several Staff Officers have held their situations fo. many years, and it can be no hardship for them to be changed; besides, it is an injustice for other deserving officers to be kept back. A very great reduction and change is spoken of among the Engineers and Artillery. The Adjutant and Quartermaster_General of Kings troops in India are quite sinecures, and always have been d , considered. The deputies can very well perform all the duties.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 20.—0 n the 18th instant a mili tary convention was concluded at Zondhoven between th, four superior officers on both sides, to regu'ate the execu tion of the last part of the fourth article of the convention of May 21, respecting the free communicati.n between the fortress of Maestricht and the frontiers of North Bra bant, and between the same fortress and Germany. A period of eight drys is fixed for the etc: ange of the ratific oions of this convention. Stant* Courant, Nov. 21. Novmime, 22 —His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, and his eldest son, left the Hague to return to the head quarters on the 20th, in the evening. Prim., and Princess Frederick, and their daughter, set out far Berlin yesterday afternoon. The committee of retrenchment had a meeting yesterday, which is said to be connected with the discussions on the budget in the sections of the Second Chamber. Numerous objections have been made by the member , to the budget, and they are now under the consideration of the Government. The objections, as we bear, chiefly relate to some particular points, it being generally agreed in all the sections not to repeat the objections and remark which have been made every year by members of the C , .ambers on examining the budget, and which are know' to the Government. The first objection was to the fortn of the budget, relative to the division into ordinal) and extraordinary ; 2dly, the charges for the Marine and War Departments were considered as much to. high ; 3.1 1 y, it was unadvisable that to meet the deft ciency of this year, or of 1834, new debts at 5 p-i cent. should be contracted, as all other means ought to first tried ; b-sidee, it was by no means clear that then would be so great a deficiency as to make it necessary t. contract a new debt of 6,000,000 ;-4thly, objection , were m ede to the placing among the extraoralinaries the 6,000,000 of florins for the first payment of the new deb or that centrac ed since 1830 ;-5 hty, and lastly, it w a pretty generally considered as objectionable that the ex pense of the government of the colonies was omitted, sine, they are to be con.idered as part of the kingdom. It was thought that the payinen•s which the colonies were hap pily able to make to the state ought not to be placed uncle, the head of the ordinary revenue, since it could not be taken for granted that they would continue. Besides these general objections, there are many other• to different articles of the budget, all tending to the grea object of retrenchment and the simplification of the ad ministration ; the amount of the budget being considere , as too high and not proportioned to the ability of the ns tion. It was hoped that by reducing the expenditure. financial measures might he rendered unnecessary, whit; must more and more increase our financial difficulties. Information and explanations have also been r•quired respecting several expenses, also a communication tespectint the intentions of the Government with regard to the ina port and export duties, the Syndicate. the entire abolition of which is advised, &c. Information is also expecte/a respecting the pensions, on which in any observations ma be matle ; on the revenue of the colonies, and the produce of the several loans. The answer of the Government to all these objections is expected, according to which the projects of law will pro bataly be modifie.l.

MR. BULWER'S PAUL CLIFFORD.—It has been justly observed of this work, of which a cheap edi lion is now on sale, that it contains " one of the most powerful and the ti nest pictures ever drawn of a had man of great talents in the character, portrait, and life of the Lawyer Brandon—Attorney, Barrister, Judge, and all ha Chancellor. It shows in its author a deep knowledge of human nature, not ob.ained from hooks, but by looking right through the hearts of men—not the men of history or the men of poetry, but the men of reality, who live the life, who struggle, swak, write, lecture, wheedle, time serve, trim, barter, smile, assert, retract, deny, but still push on, deceiving and deceived, to their great end— power or wealth,—on the arena of this, our most viciou , , most glorious metropolis, the great hotbed of exaggera tion, effort, stimulus, toil, talent, and tic elculoureux ." ,‘ We have studied this character," says the Spectator, from one end of the book to the other, and have examined and compared every part of it, and pronounce it perfect in its kind. J. HE LIVERPOOL EXPRESS.—Another acci• dent of a lamentable nature occurred to the Liverpool Ex pre.s Coach. It will be remembered that the same coach was upset a few months back on its way to London, and several persons seriously injured. On Sunday afternoon, when it arrived at Hornc'iffe, near Dunstable, in its course to town, the coachman, Warde, on mounting the box had not secured the reins, and the boy, who had the care of the leaders, left his hold, when the horses imme diately took !right, and, after plunging furiously for a short time, the coach was upset and the coachman and she passengers were precipitated to the ground. The passengers were much injured, and the coachman lies in a ilmgerous condition. It is a singular circumstance that the late accident took place near the same spot, and the coachman had only a short time resumed his duties. He has a family «f six children to support. A new novel, entitled " Gale Middleton," is announced from the pen of the popular author of " Bram bletye House." Graphic as were his sketches of former days (witness the inimitable scenes in his first work of fiction), his genius appears more especially at home in describing the peculiar features of our own time, &c. ; in this respect the new story is likely to possess fresh at traction. His well-known powers of wit and humour will find ample scope when depicting the ridiculous points in civic, as well as in more elevated life. THE C O RPORATION COMMISSIONERS IN y oRKsHLRE ,—Toe gentlemen appointed under the coin mission of inquiry into the existing state of municipal corporations arrived in York on Wednesday, and cum tnenced on Thursday the inquiry into the state of the corporation of York. We understand the corporation are extremely anxious fur the fullest investigation, and are de emined to give every facility in their power to the commissioners, in accordance with a resolution to that effect passed at a meeting of the body in September last.-- Leeds Mercury. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. In last Thursday's .1 lines we ni vie a few ,hservations u p on th e e xisting. libel law, as it —lards the press, and on the offensive and per licions spirit of certain portions of the press self, in connexion with proceedings which have teen resorted to by Lord Durham, as th' neans of obtaining satisfaction for slanders mblishecl against his private character by a New astle journatr. Three things, we hone, were Jwious to any pet44olT who read our remarks on hat occasion,-1, our Othl conviction that the tw of libel required amendment, because o f the inreasonableness of some of its provisions, the -xtreme uncertainty of its operation, awl the '-equent injustice of which it might thence be ,tade the instrument; 2, our vadiness to se , knowledge that the section of the press alluded to was an intolerable nuisance, and, if not to he -Plf-corrected, must eventually be chastsed into ',irbearance (if nothing better), either by the visitations of law or by those of personal vio ence on the part of individuals whom iis nalignity hid wounded. But mow feelings on ":e subject would have been ill-expressed h id ye given room to he suspected of a desire, on one side, to paralyse or debilitate the law of libel, so as to impair, to any def-nsive or who tome end, the protection due by society to the oeace and reputation of its members, or of a wish to contract, on the other hand, the fair held of resolute and unsparing censure, no leis upon such notorious wickedness or indecency ►n any man as would make him a flagrant and dangerous example to public morals, than upon uolitical misconduct in a public functionary, whether of high or subordinate station, so indefensible as to render him unworthy to enjoy the confidence of his fellow subjects, or to exercise anv office in the state. Our bias is strongly against a frequent, or, indeed, any but an unavoidable recourse to law for redress against he dealers in calumny, and by that we mean that it ought not to be resorted to where any other peaceable method of self defence presents the least hope of being successful. A solemn denial of the facts alleged against a man of good general reputation would, we believe, in the Zreat majority of instances, prove an ample vindication of his fame, and cover his accusers with disgrace or ridicule. Everything—and He speak now purely for the sake of the ag grieved party himself—everything ought to be vied before the doubtful experiment of either action or prosecution, which, if it failed, might .4ive powerful effect to an otherwise feeble calumny, and, when it prospered in the shape of damages or penalties, might pass for an invi dious and oppressive species of revenge. It is strictly true that the " liberty of the press" by no means implies a privilege to circulate false hoods of any human being, or through mdlics or unfeeling negligence to traduce and blacken his reputation ; still further, we are far from insisting that it is within the legitimate pro lince of the press to intrude upon the recesses of private life, and drag forth infirmities or vices .vhich might otherwise have been, from their ,bscurity, innoxious to all but those individuals whose good name would suffer from the pub licity thus annexed to them. If cases of wan on malice should arise, where no regard is had by an unprincipled journalist to the truth or falsehood of any of his allegations, or to aught but to the amount of pain and wrong which hrough them he may cause to the party se ected for his victim—if, when one calumny has teen refuted, a second, and a third, and an end ess series shall he risked, each lie ov,:rwrned 'eing but the preface to some more daring and outrageous slander—ii, in short, systematic, ienake, and inexorable villany, be apparent on ;le face of the whole procedure, and the 1 trgest neasure of human patience in the sufferer be .vermalehed by the ferocity of the ye UnpU listied aggressor,—why, we say, it becomes a question, not of liberality, not of equity, not of itimane or charitable feeling, but of downright orudence and sagacity, whether the injured citizen had better submit in silence, or how he may best cru.h the scoundrel, and possess his future life in peace, whether by law or by per .onal castigation, or by what form of either of these dissimilar remedies. Extracted from the Newcastle Chronicle, will he found some well writzen passages, which have doubtless been suggested by the scandalous attacks on Lori Durham and others, an] by their consequences. The Tory faction are well sun vn up for their one-sided sensibility to the rights of English men, and to the freedom of the press. All for abstinence and magnanimity when Lord Durham is assailed,—all fire and fury and mercilesss per secution when the libel law is appealed to on behalf of Lord Lonsdale. The arrest of Mrs. 'lonic, a widow with five children, morally guiltless, as everybody knew, of the libel of which Lord Lonsdale's law advisers, on his Lordship's behalf, complained, hut, as having a share in the property of the Car/isle Journal, found guilty formally, though recommended to mercy in the most forcible and earnest terms by the Jury—this poor woman, whom no one sup posed likely to be called up for judgment, in the teeth of her counsel's opinion, was arrested by a sheriff's officer under a description of writ which is not bailable, and must lie in gaol until the &h of January next. This is a specimen of Tory forbearance—of the forbearance of that faction which has raised such a yell against Lord Durham, for his harshness against his own real and incorrigible persecutor. With regard to Lord Lonsdale, personally, we acquit him of any blame belonging to the above transaction. It is the work of his agents. We have always heard him de scribed as a good-natured man, but liberalism is a monster, and the reform press must, at all events, be extinguished. God help the poor fools who flatter themselves with such a result As for the business relating to Lord Durham, we repeat our concern that he should have troubled himself with legal measures for the vindication of a character which no man thinks in danger from such assailants as those who have waged war against him. We do not attempt to question the justice of the prosecu tion, nor the solid provocation which was offered by the same party against whom Lord Durham violence seerer proceeds to those persons who have inflicted summary vengeance upon him with their horse whips ; but that is not the point. Lord Dur ham could afford to abandon the prosecution; in a dif ferent he will probably gain nothing from it which he has not secured already, and the indi i‘,nidi punishment,s,sto perhaps,il a‘tiewhraeovstreoertti administered cnd to ei srt ni er a ed n d u i a t l ,a form.— Times.
