VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. 4KK-.EAKTE TEAGUE IN THE MATTER OF TEAGUE, A BANK 'a JOll aura'. ROSE stated that this was the petition of the uncle • 'citthe bankrupt, which prayed that he might be at liberty 10 prove a debt of 7001. and a fraction against his ne phew's estate. The debt arose in consequence of pay ments made by the petitioner under guarantees which he 'had entered into for his nephew, and also in consequence • of the payment of bills by the petitioner, which had been . drawn by his nephew without the petitioner's knowledge. The petitioner contended that no partnership existing be ' tween himself and his nephew, the bills must be looked upon as forgeries. Upon the matter coming on before the Commissioners they refused to allow the proof, considering th at a partnership must be taken as existing between the bnd petitioner otl and his nephew, if not the petitioner was not to r ay the bills, and must be considered as baying paid them for the purpose of shielding the bankrupt from • the effects of a criminal prosecution. The Learned Conn p, • . set, in support of the petition, thought it perfectly clear that the judgment of the Commissioners was wrong, and that the proof ought to be made. The petitioner had beenadvised by Counsel that he was bound to pay the bills under the guarantee, although he had not given any authority to his neph ew to draw them. It was most positively sworn that no partnership existed, and it was not till after actions had been brought on the bills that the petitioner . paid them. Every circumstance connected with the case was totally inconsistent with a partnership, and the bank. rupt's estate had derived all the benefit of the money paid . to the petitioner. The VICE_CHANCELLOR considered the case totally un - +supported by affidavits. Until evidence to rebut it was adduced, the judgment of the Commissioner must be taken correct. Looki n g a t the whole case, the Court f e lt itself bound to dismiss the petition with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HATTON-GARDEN. haae Smith, John Myles, and Abraham Warring ;' were charged by an interesting looking young woman, .'etii named Elizabeth Hartland, with having committed a rape upon her person. This case excited a great degree of interest in conse . quence of the three prisoners being married men, having . 74 • btrge families, and in a rather respectable way of living. E. Hartland stated, as she was passing downßosamond- street on last Thurday evening, about four o'clock, she was ac , coated by the three prisoners, who invited her to go into t . a public house, which she accordingly did, although they were strangers. After remaining there for a very ' ' considerable period of time, during which she had some ~, ... drink along with them, they all left the house together, and proceeded towards Copenhagen-fields, when they all went into another public-house, at which place they stopped until after seven o'clock; they then left the house, and when they approached the fields Smith knocked her down, and lifted up her clothes; she endeavoured to resist his • , attacks upon her person, but the other prisoners held her legs apart, and tied a handkerchief over her mouth, until Smith had effected his purpose. The other prisoners then successively violated her in spite of all the exertion ..sltti used to Prevent it. Her face was greatly scratched, ,- and her clothes torn in the struggle. Her screams, how ever, attracted to the spot three gent' aaen, on whose approach they desisted from their attacks. The gentlemen then protected her home to her father's house. From the testimony of those three gentlemen, whose names we omit mentioning, it appeared that as they were proceeding home at about half-past seven o'clock, near the Copenhagen-fields, their ears were assailed by the cries of a female at some distance from them in the field. They accordingly proceeded thither, and found those three prisoners ill using the female in the manner she described. On their appearanc e in the field, prisonersleft the the female, after advising her to go off with them. The gen tlemen offered to protect her home,which after some hesitation she consented to. She appeared to them to be in a very exhausted agitated state, her clothes being much torn and . ' 'soiled. Mr. Kean, a medical man, being in the room, was re guested by Mr. Laing, the Magistrate to examine the state . in which the woman Hartland was in, and the amount of injury inflicted on her person. After some time he re ,taened, and described the violence that appeased to be Visible on her person, which corroborated the testimony of • the girl.laeraelf. The mother of the girl stated the situation in which her daughter was on the night in question, after she had been brought home by the three gentlemen who rescued her from the hands of the prisoners : her face bore evident marks of violence, and she was in a very weak state. Her hus band was a carpenter, residing" at No. 2, Clarke-street, Little Sutton-street. The policemen that arrested the prisoners stated, when they were taken, that they used certain expressions which were tantamount to an admission of having been guilty of the charge imputed to them. One of them having said, " If the woman tells the truth, she will hang us !" The investigation was proceeding with when our Re porter left the office. The prisoners earned 21. a week by their employment. The office and many of the streets in the neighbourhood wire crowded. KING'S THEATRE.—Th e opera of Matilde di Shrubran e Corrudino was on Saturday night revived at this theatre. It was received with much applause, and is one of the most recent productions of Rossuti. CALEDONIAN THEATRE.—The perform ances at this place of amusement continue to meet with Warm encouragement—and very deservedly so. Several operas have been produced in a style that reflects the greatest credit on the management. The operatic corps includes four or five really excellent vocalists, and the or chestra is complete in its parts, and conducted in a careful and praiseworthy manner. The leader, Mr. CUMMINS, is evidently a musician of no inconsiderable attainments; and the instrumental players under him, individually and col lectively, acquit themselves so as completely to gratify au ear skilled in the combination of orchestral effects. The solos are pointedly taken up, and neatly executed—the wind instruments are well in tune—the time is scrupulously ob served—and light and shade is given by the strict attention to the pianos and fortes. We shall have more to say upon the individual merits of the principal singers on some future occasion ; and, in the meantime, recommend the per formances as highly worthy of the attention of lovers of music, who have now an opportunity afforded them of hearing several Italian and German operas—not certainly in their original language, nor represented with that force of musical expression which they strictly demand ; but altogether in a style in which the effects, both as regard the i nstrumental and vocal parts, are so equally balanced in point of merit, that a very pleasing idea is conveyed of these compositions.—Scotsman. , • We lately noticed the progress that had been made in Paisley in the manufacture of Thibet or fine "_• Woollen shawls, and we are now sorry to state that they birOe • scarcely been brought to perfection till they 'have suffered a decline. There have been a number of the weavers engaged at them dropped during the last two weeks. Owing to the silk shawls being rather improving, these weavers got employment at them, or something else, but this subjects them to the trouble and expence of a change. The finer descriptions of transparent silks have been doing better during the last two months than they have been for a considerable time past, and the houses en gaged in that line are still continuing to take on hands.

We have just non , laying before us an extract from Mr. Ralph Tho:esby's Diary, in which that worthy old gentleman, who writes at the commencement of the eighteenth century, g i ves an entertaining account of his journey, or rather voyage, from Leeds through the marshes of. Lincolnshire to London. He describes, in terms of proportionate earnestness, the manifold and manifest perils of his expedition—the intricacies of the roads- —the bogs, quagmires, rivers, lakes, &c. through which he was " enforced" to p ass —the inconveniences, not to say the hazards, of his mode of conveyance—the strange inhabitants that he encountered in the different strange towns at which he put up—the snow-storms and hurri canes that discomfited him and his—and winds up his narrative by a thanksgiving to Providence who had enabled him to reach Huntingdon— " where there are four church-yards, three steeples, but only two churches and one parson," —and ultimately even London, in safety. Now, what would this simple-minded traveller, who thinks so much of a journey from Yorkshire to Middlesex, say to Rene Caillie's expedition across the most barren desarts of Africa, to a city in the: very interior of the country,:to the mysterious and till now unvisited Timbuctoo ? How would he shudder with apprehension, could he rise from the grave, and with all the prejudices of his day still clinging freshly to him, sit down in his own " tidy study at Leeds," and peruse the details of a journey across the Zahara, or Great Desart ; a journey to which even the moors of Lincolnshire—and it is far from our wish to speak disparagingly of these very re spectable fells, which still retain much of their primitive desolation—are no more to be com pared than Mr. Nash's new mountain in Buck ingham-gardens with the mountains of the Alps, Thibet, or the Andes ? We can conceive Ralph Thoresby's astonishment at the bare idea of such an expedition ! He would probably first wonder at the romantic character of the de tails—then pause to reflect—then shake his venerable sconce in distrust—and at last fling aside the book, and take refuge from his doubts in flat, honest, uncompromising incredulity ! We will confess that on first perusing these volumes, we felt very much inclined to do as we have supposed worthy Mr. Thoresby would have done. On a more careful examination, how ever, our scepticism has softened into mere sur prize, and we feel thoroughly inclined to believe that Mr. Caillie has really reached that mys terious city, which, though its name has been known for ages to Europe, none but poor Ma jor Laing and the present traveller have ever been known to penetrate.; M. Caillie, it: seems, set out on his grand expedition on the 19th of April, 1827, from Kakondy, a village situated on the Rio Nunez, fifty leagues to the north of Sierra-Leone. After passing through a variety of small provinces,---whose very names it is an exertion to spell, and an absolute impossibility to pronounce,—where the scenery was flat, par tially irrigated by shallow starveling streams, and diversified here and there by uninviting towns and villages, he reached the populous manufac turing town of Jenne, which is situated on an island of that name, formed by the waters of th e vast river Dhioliba. This is the same stream that has been so often mistaken for the Niger, or a branch of it, and which has been set down in the maps accordingly. It is an immense river ; in some places a mile broad or more, and was navigated by M. Caillie for nearly a thou sand miles. Jenne, which is situated on its banks, is a rich and busy place, though till now little, if at all, known to Europeans. M. Caillie continued there but a few days, being anxious to hasten forward to Timbuctoo. With this view he once again ventured on the broad bosom of the Dhioliba, in a large but crazy and cumbrous canoe, and after three weeks naviga tion arrived on the borders of an unknown lake or rather inland sea, which almost rivals Lake Tchad in grandeur, and of which we have the following account : " After a slow navigation, during which we made re peated halts, we reached the mouth of the great lake about three in the afternoon. About six miles S.W. of this entrance, there is a rock in the form of a truncated Sugar loaf; it is situated in an inundated marsh which is covered with green herbage. This enormous rock, which is quite bare, forms a singular contrast with the freshness of the surrounding vegetation. As it has, though a very striking land-mark, received no name from the natives, I thought proper to give it one, and have named the whole spot St. Charles's Island. In the lake, and about nine or ten miles to the N.E., is a small island, on which I observed some trees almost destitute of leaves. It is capable of being in.. habited, and affords facilities for the formation of a good port. I have named it Henry Island, in honour of his Royal Highness the Duke of Boittdeaux. A third island, also formed of rock, is situated between these two, a little to the eastward of the line which would intersect them, and to it I have given the name of Maria-Theresa, in honour of her Royal Highness the Dauphiness. Two of these islands appear to command the mouth of the lake. Were a fort built on one of the three it would command the environs, and the navigation would be under the con troul of the possessor. " To the . N.N.E. of the island of Alaria-Theresa we observed a Lill about fifty or sixty fathoms high. It is composed of red earth, and of large porous rocks of the same colour. Some fishermen have established themselves on the declivity of this hill, which is extremely arid. " Land is seen on every side of the lake except on the west, where it spreads out like an inland sea. On coast ing along its northern side, and. steering nearly W.N.W. to the distance of fifteen miles, we leave on the left a tongue of very flat land, which extends several miles southward. It seems to close the passage of the lake, and to form a kind of strait. Beyond this barrier the lake is prolonged, as I have said, towards the west, until it is lost in the horizon. " The barrier I have just mentioned divides lake Debo into two lakes, the upper and the lower. That through which the boats passed, and in which the three islands I have mentioned are situated, is very large. It extends in an easterly direction, and is surrounded by extensive marshes. Land is visible on every side. " When we had advanced as far as the middle of the first division, three of the large boats fired some muskets, to salute this majestic lake, and the crew of each boat shouted with all their might Sulam ! Sulam ! repeating the cry several times. We stood off from the eastern bank and navigated with great caution : the lake was calm and the water clear. The current was not perceptible on its surface, the depth of the part which we navigated was twelve or thirteen feet. The canoes were merely rowed, and advanced very slowly 3 I could not recover from my surprise at seeing so great a mass of water in the heart of the country. There was something very majestic in the sight. " About five in the evening we arrived off Gabibi, a small fishing village on the right bank of the lake. The huts of this village are made of straw and of a round form. Since we entered the lake we bad stood to the N.E. We passed close to the island of Maria-Theresa, on which I observed wore finc! granite of a bright chesnut colour. We took our departure from Gala', and at sun-set I saw, for the first time, since I left the coast, that luminary sink into a sort of :c.e On quitting the banks of this magnificent sheet of water, our traveller proceeded, still float• ing along the surface of the Dhioliba, towards the port of Cabra, a bustling town or village, which, in its business-like appearance, reminded him of a trading port in France or England, whence he took horse forth e great capital of the Soudan, Timbuctoo. This part of his narrative is remarkably well detailed : " At length we arrived safely at Timbuctoo, just as the sun was touching the horizon. I now saw this capital of the Soudan, to reach which had so long been the object o• my wishes. On entering this mysterious city, which is an object of curiosity and research to the civilized nations EuroFe, I experienced an indescribable satisfaction. never before felt a similar emotion, and my transport was extreme. I was obliged, however, to restrain my feelings, and to God alone did I confide my joy. With what gra titude did I return thanks to Heaven, for the happy result which attended my enterprise! How many grateful thanksgivings did I pour forth for the protection which God had vouchsafed to me, amidst obstacles and danger, which appeared insurmountable. This duty being ended, I looked around and found that the sight before me did not answer my expectations; I bad formed a totally different idea of the grandeur and wealth of Timbuctoo. The city presented, at first view, nothing but a mass of ill-looking houses, built of earth. Nothing was to he seen in all di rections but immense plains of quicksand of a yellowish white colour. The sky was a pale red as far as the hori zon : all nature wore a dreary aspect, and the most pro found silence prevailed; not even the warbling of a bird was to be heard. Still, though I cannot account for the impression, there was something imposing in the aspect of a great city, raised in the midst of sands, and the difficul ties surmounted by its founders cannot fail to excite admi ration. lam inclined to think, that formerly the river flowed close to Timbuctoo ; though at present it is eight miles to the north of that city, and five miles from Cabra, in the same direction." " The city of Timhuctoo forms a sort of triangle, mea suring about three miles in circuit. The houses are large, but not high, consisting entirely of a ground-floor. In some, a sort of little closet is constructed above the en trance. They are built of bricks of a round form, rolled in the hands, and baked in the sun. The walls, except as far as regards their height, resemble those of Jenne. " The streets of Timhuctoo are clean, and sufficiently wide to permit three horsemen to pass abreast. Both within and without the town there are many straw huts of a circular form, like those of the pastoral Foulahs. They serve as dwellings for the poor, and for the slaves who sell merchandise for their masters. " Timbuctoo contains seven mosques, two of which are large ; each is surmounted by a brick tower. " This mysterious city, which has been an object of cu riosity fur so many ages, and of whose population, civiliza tion, and trade with the Soudan, such exaggerated notions have prevailed, is situated in an iinineme plain of white sand, having no vegetation but stunted trees and shrubs, such as the mimosa . ferruginea, which grows no higher than three or four feet. The city is not closed by any barrier, and may be entered on any side, Within the town are seen some of the balanitis cegyptiaca, and in the centre is a palm tree. " Timbuctoo may contain at most about ten or twelve thousand inhabitants ; all are engaged in trade. The po pulation is at times augmented by the Arabs, who come with the caravans, and remain awhile in the city. In the plain several species of grass and thistles afford food for the camels. Fire-wood is very scarce, being all brought from the neighbourhood of Cabra. It is an article of trade, and the women sell it in the market-place. It is only burnt by the rich ; the poor use camel dung for fuel. Water is also sold in the market-place; the women give a measure containing about half a pint for a cowrie. " Timbuctoo, though one of the largest cities I have seen in Africa, possesses no other resources but its trade in salt, the soil being totally unfit for cultivation. The in habitants procure from Jenne every thing requisite for the supply of their wants, such as millet, rice, vegetable but ter, honey, cotton, Soudan cloth, preserved provisions, candles, soap, allspice, onions, dried fish, pistachios, &c." M. Caillie made a stay of thirteen days at this capital, after which he set off, with a Moorish caravan, across the Great Desart, and having conquered difficulties apparently insur mountable, arising partly from the horrible na ture of the climate and partly from the suspicious, grasping, and treacherous character of the Moors, arrived in safety at Tangier, in Morocco, from which place he set out, in a French sloop, for Toulon, at which point he concludes his inte resting narrative. One of the most affecting , portions in Caillie's travels is that which is de voted to Major Laing, who it seems reached Timbuctoo, and even lodged in the same stree t where our traveller halted ; but on his return to Europe was waylaid by a party of roving Moors, and cruelly put to death, because he refused to acknowledge the divinity of Mahomet. An unknown friend, we hear, has transmitted to Mr. Aurrotn the sum of 2,0001. in Bank of England notes. They were received enclosed in a letter, which offered no hint whatever as to the source from whence they came. The triumphant success of Miss KENIBLE, besides saving Covent-garden from ruin, has very naturally procured her many provincial offers, as honourable to her talent as they are advantageous in a pecuniary point of view. She, therefore, proceeds on a professional tour with her father during the summer months ; in consequence of which it is stated that Covent-garden Theatre will close in May, being considerably sooner than usual. We certainly rejoice at every thing which can raise her reputation or increase her wealth ; but we can hardly see the propriety of shutting the establishment, and throwing so many per sons out of employment, before the period on which they calculated. We do not know whether the engagements are on the same footing at Covent-garden as at Drury-lane ; but at the latter an eningement for the season is under stood to imply two hundred play nights. It is generally a few nights longer; but the regular termination will take place this year on the 21st of June. We hope that Mr. ICltmisr.it will pause before he takes a step which will render hint unpopular with the members of the establishment.-- Morning Herald. The character of Borromeo, in the new novel of Clondesley, by the celebrated author of " Caleb Wil liams," is a memorable study of human nature. In one of his voyages it is his fate to be taken prisoner by the Alge rines, and sold for a slave. In this situation his stubborn soul bows not before his oppressors—he despises their threats—he shrinks not from their cruelties—his bosom heaves no sigh —no groan betrays the agony he endures. No limb quivers —n o feature alters to gratify the malice of his tyrants—but his wrongs he treasures up in the inner most core of his heart. Such is the man to whom the young hero owes all his misfortunes, but whose stern na ture eventwdlv becomes subdued when he reviews the ex traordinary events by which the youth is rescued from an ignominious death, and unexpectedly raised to the highest honours and prosperity. Covent. garden Market is nearly finished, ex cept the green-houses intended to decorate the terrace fronting Great Russell-street, the construction of which has undergone a tasteful change, under the inspection of Mr. Hanoi-, the Duke of Bzurorto's principal agent. The market, in its detail, will be the most complete in Europe. Fifty thousand pounds have been expended upon it, which, it is calculated, will barely produce an interest of four per cent. The report is untrue that the whole rental of the Garden amounts to any thing like twelve thousand pounds per annum. The Duke of BEDroltD had long entertained the project of a new Garden, with out any regard to additional emolument. The whole of the green-houses are let to two eminent florists. NEW SOUTH WALES.--A most extraordi nary case came before the Supreme Court at Sydney, New South \Val es , on the 6th of October last. It was an ac tion brought b y a respecta b le i ndividual, named Thom.- sox, a pas senger to Sydney, on hoard the brig Faith, from England against \lr. WILLET, master of that vessel on the voyage, to recover damages for trespass and false im prisonment. The damages were laid at 1,0001.

Sir HOWARD DOUGAS left town a few days ago for the Hague. The discussion of the boundary line between the United States and our North American co lonies, after proceeding a certain length between the Commissioners of the two countries, has now advanced to that stage in which a reference to the King of the NETHERLANDS, the appointed umpire, becomes necessary. The whole of the Annual Finance Accounts, namely, those of Public Expenditure, Consolidated Fund, Public Funded Debt, Unfunded Debt, Disposition of Grants, Arrears and Balances, &c., have just been laid on the tab:e of the House of Commons ; so that all things show, according to those who pretend to understand such matters, that the Treasury business will be accelerated as nltch as possible, in order that Parliament may be dis missed Ixfore the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, June 18.—Morning Herald. An account was " laid on the table," on Fri day, of " unsettled demands" on the funds provided by France for liquidating the claims of British subjects on France, and of the " unappropriated balance of the funds." Why was it not ordered to be printed? It is to be hoped that Mr. BERNAL, or some ether Honourable Member who has taken part in the discussions on this business, will move " that the said accounts be printed."

Mr. HUSICISSON has given notice that, on the 27th of April (after the recess) he will move the ap pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the Banking System of the country, with reference to the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England. Sir P. Alm.coLm has received a letter from the Rev.

O'GRADY, ESQ., IN DUBLIN.—On Thursday (being the tenth day of this in quest), after the examination of several witnesses, the Jury retired for about one hour and a quarter, and returned with the following verdict :—" We find that STANDISH STARER O'GRADY came to his death by a pistol-ball, fired at him by Captain JOHN ROLAND SMITH, of the 32d Re giment, on the morning of the ISth instant, at a field near the Grand Canal, near Kilmainham Commons, in the county of Dublin, and that the said Captain J. 11. SMITH is guilty of manslaughter, and the jurors do further find that Captain FREDERICK MARKHAM, of the same regi ment, was aiding and abetting the said JOHN ROLAND SMITH, and that Lieutenant FREDERICK MA cNAmana, of the Bth Hussars, was present, as friend to the deceased, and that the said parties are not forthcoming, and that the value of the said pistol is twenty shillings." When the verdict was announced, the crowd, who had been collected all day, in a few minutes afterwards dispersed. There will not be any prosecution by the friends of the deceased, and we think it quite right that there should not; but we are sure that a military inquiry into the circumstances would tend greatly to allay the ferment of the public mind. The fact is that these military horse whippings must be put a stop to.-Evenirig Mai/. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Election has lost all interest, and the votes of the constituency are completely exhausted ; this will be seen from the few who have polled—notwithstanding that every effort possible was made to bring the remaining voters up. In the early part of the day Mr. Newenham took the lead in the Freemens' booths, and as the day advanced the " Protestant Settlers" were again brought up, and hiving, as they conceived, qualified before a Magistrate, tendered their suffrages for Mr. Newenham, but of course were all rejected. In the Freeholders' booths scarcely any thing was doing, and there was a certainty of their being closed in the evening, when the agents of Mr. Newenbam, ascertaining this, tendered a number of votes which the assessors had already decided against as illegal, and this proceeding had the effect of keeping them open.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We congratulate the country on the successful op. aosition presented on Friday evening to the navy stimates, when two pensions, one of 5001. pet innum, the other of 4501., were struck off by virtuous vote of the House of Commons, and not .nerely a small sum saved to the country, but a prin ciple of vast importance maintained, and a whole same precedent established. Mr. Bathurst, a bar. ister, son of the President of the Council, and Mr, Oundas (a naval officer, we suppose), son of the first Lord of the Admiralty, bad been, about four years 3T . 0, appointed respectively Commissioners of the Victualling and the Navy Board, and recently, on :ts being found that their salaries were useless bur lens to the country, the gentlemen were removed from office. Now it is well enough understood that .when public servants (that is to say, all but poor une protected clerks) have been for a long series of years in office, and have worn out the best portion of their lives in the duties of it, they have, cm retiring, equit sble claims to a maintenance which are invariably admitted by the nation. Mieisters of state, and se cretaries, and high functionaries of that sort, have taken, indeed, very ample care of themselves:, scheme of remuneration having been proposed some time ago by Lord Liverpool's Government, which of course received the sanction of Parliament, where by, after ten years of service, large retired al lowances were secured to these great personages, not less, we believe, than three-fourths of their salary, although in their case no deduction whatever was made from their pay to form a fund for future sub sistence. But it remained for Lord Bathurst and Lord Melville, they being Cabinet Ministers, and of necessity consulted on the grants now under consi deration, to stipulate for retired allowances to mem bers of their own families, who were still in the prime and vigour of life, and whose official course was in its infancy I We called public attention to this offensive subject many weeks ago. We said it was " a shame" for Cabinet Ministers even to follow so greedy an example bad it been offered to them, much more to set one, when, after a hunt for screening precedents, none such could be found to cloak the cupidity of their relations. Sir Robert Heron did justice—and no more than justice—to the public interests on this remarkable occasion. As for his reference to the history of the first Lord Melville, we are astonished that with a certain resolution of the House of Commons before the eyes, and still fresh in the remembrance of every Englishman ar rived at middle age, the descendants of that noble- , man do not show their sensibility rather in a fasti dious disgust at the very thought of touching public money, than in first, a morbid appetite for pensions, and next a soreness (not indeed unnatural) at the least allusion to the nature of the first Lord Melville's services. With regard to these wretched proofs of a disposition to feed upon the country, they ought never to have come before Parliament at all. Common delicacy in two of the Cabinet at least ought to have averted such an affront as has been offered to the whole body of Ministry, had their colleagues—which probably was the case—felt awkward about reminding the " President," and the " First Lord," of their duty. But being before the House of Commons, the next best policy for Ministers was to offer no defence of the transaction ; and, in fact, none was offered by Mr. Peel, who felt the embarrassment into which he had been thrown by others. Mr. Goulburn, less clear-sighted possibly to the result which awaited him, adventured a few palliatory sentences, but utterly failed. When the Right Honourable Gen tleman called upon the House for reasons why the same conduct should not be observed towards Messrs. Dundas and Bathurst as towards per sons less officially and fortunately connected, he seemed to forget that no individuals but those named Bathurst and Dundas ever had been, or could have been, placed in such a situation. " The lowest of the King's subjects," who are sometimes spoken of with formal respect, but seldom' treated with much ceremony otherwise, never would have been stuck, for a short period, into the places about to be abolished, that their reduction,after a" service" of three or four years, might be made a pretence for saddling two healthy young pensioners on the nation. Mr. Bathurst, to be sure, had given up a profession, a lucrative profession l Oh, yes, he gave up the ornaments of wig and gown, but as was truly said by Mr. Hobbouse—" Noble scions, who cannot get briefs at the bar, do maE- , le to get themselves on the pension list." We echo Sir Robert Heron, that the whole affair was " paltry :" but the rebuke will be of serious advantage to the State, becanse it must be an incalculable convenience to every honest Prime Minister, to have a ready argument at hand, wherewith to repress the sordid and indecent ra pacity of his colleagues.—timer. In looking over an official report upon the chari table institutions of Dublin, we have been struck by the very remarkable fact, that although every one of them is mere or less maintained by grants of the public money from Parliament, aided with a. single exception by the contributions of private charity, five out of six of these establishments are left with out the slightest support by assessments of the county or city grand juries of Dublin,—the very spot to whose relief and comfort they have from the first so extensively administered. The institutions we speak Ware thelfollowing— 1. The Lying-in-Hospital. 2. Steevens's Hospital, principally; for accidents and surgical cases. 3. The Cork-street Hospital for Fevers. 4. The Hospital for Incurables. 5. The Westmoreland LocklHospital. 6. The House of Industry. For the support of the above asylums of the wretched, upwards of 45,0001. is annually drawn from public or private sources; and the only one to which the county or city, rates have contributed is the Hospital for Incurables, which has profited from them to the amount, in late years, of 6001. per annum. We have beard in Parliament severe animadversions on the waste of public money by .grand juries throughout the whole of Ireland; and without the least surprise we have seen the defence of these upright and disinterested bodies undertaken by gentlemen—honourable gentlemen—to whom aristocratic jobbing seems, no doubt, a ♦enial trans gression. But the evil day is coming upon them, when Irish grand juries will no longer be able to give the money of their neighbours, or to withhold their own, from corrupt or capricious preferences. So much, we believe, may be affirmed without rash ness, that the King's Government has, at length, decided on bringing these Kings of Brantford to their good behaviour.—Times. The French Ministers are determined to carry matters with a high hand. The police, it is said, begins to display an activity not surpassed by that body in the best of times ; and the war goes on briskly against the Press.--In the proceedings be fore the Tribunal de Police Correctionelle against the National, of which a Report appears in the Paris Papers of Thursday, a ♦ery able speech was made by M. Mangin. He concluded his harangue by some observations, which have often been before used, on the impolicy of punishing the expression of opinion or complaint. In truth punishment is always inefficacious. If the public are indifferent, there can be no use in drawing attention to a writer who can do no harm, while it is always injudicious to appear in the unamiable light of persecutors. If, on the other hand, the public are in a state of excitement, the prosecution of a writer will neither allay that excitement nor deter other writers from rushing for ward to become objects of the public attention and public sympathy. This is placed in a strong light by M. Mangin. "An alarm (lie says) is felt at see ing the Press discuss principles. For my part, I can not share these fears. My doctrine in this respect is comprised in it few words, and I have recently applied it (in the case of M.Aguado); respect for private life ; full liberty with decency; a little enthusiarn even for public affairs. In fact, principles never precipitate Ira dons into revolutions. Excepting in religious matter., the people never rise for abstractions, of which they I beers which ineur ; IW3 .at the r pro' le side •houee bring y feat :ount, , since loner stater !i 4 p s• t cres• t' g the repent rket. itiah ; chant ; the imlYet
