SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, Our readers will find in 'mother column the speech of the King of the Netherlands in opening the extraordinary session of the States-General of his Kingdom on the 13th inst. That document, taken in connection with our private correspondence from the Hague ' and extracts from the Menders Papers to the 14th, contains all the informa flan which we can lay before them to enable them to form a judgment on the most singular crisis which ever occurred in the affairs of any people. The sentiments and views of his Majesty seem to have undergone very little change since he last ad dressed the nation on the sth, for lily present speech appeera almost an echo of his previous prcclnmation. Trewards its conclusion, indeed, the former expresses h firmer purpo4e to resist unjust demands, and em ploys a more mena&ng tone towards factions div turbers, than the latter ; and we shall be delighted to hear that the Royal confidence is founded on the returning loyalty of his disaffected subjects,—on as surances of continued submission from the great towns of Belgium, which haie hitherto remained quiet,—and on <the anticipated support of the great majority of the Belgic deputies. now us4embled at the Hague. In thin case i the momentous task of the Government and the Staten would be lightened ; and the threatened calamities of domestic war and foreign interference would be averted. Were we to measure the insurrectionary force of the two or three revolted provinces by the extent of their declared grievances, or the amount of their original demands, we might anticipate a speedy return to order without sny great sacrifices on the part of the Government. When the first tumult occurred on the morning of the 26th of August, the rioters evidently had no definite political object, and were 'put down by their more respectable fellow citizens, who professedly took up arms to prevent pillage and restore order. The arms and organization which were effective againt the mob were, by an afterthought, turned egainst the Government, and, like one of the rapid mine changes in a melodrame, a body of needy drunken rioters were replaced by a muni cipal army of wealthy insurgents, with the Ite gency end the Burgomaster at their head. The first disturbers, for want of a better flag, hoisted the tri-colour of France ; the Civic Guards !mid out that they had a tri-colour of their own, and hoisted that of their province. The originarinters burnt the house of the Minister of Justice; their sabeassors only required his dismissal : the former clambered for bread, the latter demanded-political rights. All the grievances winch 1 1 Jacl , seen accu mulating for years now occurred to the people of Brussels, for no other reason, at Mix particular season, but because the arms which they had t a k e n up for other objects entailed them to demand more effectually their redress, while the people of Liege imitated the example of taming themselves for political objects, without any pretext whatever of danger from the rabble. Hail these armed citizens adhered to their original claims, it is not improbable that by this time the differences between the Dutch King and his Belgic subjects would have been ad justed, and permanent tranquillity restored. But the grounds of discontent, and the demands for re dress, were shifted with every fresh concession. The first deputation sent to the igue was em powered to ask a change of Council, the dismissal of Van Maarten, and the convocation of the States. His Majesty had already issued the decree of convo cation, and he subsequently accepted of the resigna tion, of the obnoxious Minister, promising an in dulgent consideration of every other ground of discontent. It was not till after the arrival of M. de &assert, and some .of the more ardent Belgic patriots from Paris, or till the conference with the Prince of Orange on the 34 instant, that the suggestion of ten adminis trative separation of the northern and southern provinces was officially made. His Majesty has, therefore, good ground for compluining that he has not been fairly treated,—that concession has only provoked demand,—and that his desire to conciliate has not been met by a corresponding desire on the part of his insurgent subjects. It is worthy of re mink, that through the whole of these transactions, both parties have endeavoured to use a language which can only he interpreted rightly bystheir actions. The people of Brussels, though in arins--though treating with the son of their King like an independent body, though refusing admission to his troops, and only admitting himself under the protection of their own bayonets, still profess only to petition ; and the Government on its part speakti of the original tumult es the great evil, and thanks the existing insurgents for puttinwit down, without hinting that something like the standard of rebellion has been erected on the suppression of a common mob. This reluctance to strike a blow—this studious disguise of the rod attitude of parties, that there may be no necessity for civil war—leaves a hope that such a eitisMity may he averted. We ire the more con firmed in this hope by the knowledge that the King himself is personally loved and respected in both divisions of his kingdom ; that the Belgians, though they hate the Dutch, have no desire at present to form a French connection; and that only a small portion even of Belgium abets the objects, or sup ports the cause, of Brussels arid Liege. The great commercial town of Antwerp, the manufacturing town of Ghent, and various other important places. In the southern provinces, have petitioned against the separation as the greatest of calamities : and we. only find in the list of separatists the chief towns of two provinces out of the 17 which compose the: Netherlands. When the latter count their numbers end measure their strength, it will appear pretty evident that they could not form sepurotely an aide - pendent state; and as France must repudiate the new union, that they must not insist on their divorce from Holland.—Times. Wehave made copious extract* from articles in the Canslilulionnel and Journal des Dehats, on the pre.. sent posture of affairs in France. These articles are written with considerable ability. We certainly think with these writers, that there is little ground tor apprehending that the peace of the country will be disturbed. The National Guard has too deep an interest in the preservation of order, to allow dany interruption to tranquillity. A foreign war might, indeed, lead to such nn augmentation of a standing army, as should ultimately enable an ambitious man to controul the national will, But the National Guard la identical with the nation; and from the nature of its.constittition, one part of it etltirint y like an army, be turned against another part. It is only an instrument for the repression of foreign ag gr e a. lion, and the security of person arid propertyr r er e the evil-dittpomed. What is required In France ie such an extension of the suffrage as shall secure the nation a g e int partial intermit. If a million of men can afford to arm themselves its National Guards, to million of men MI be trusted with the ,suffrage. Nay, would it not be daugerone to leave the suffrage in the hands of 80,000 individuals, while the ()O men of a million of armed men is disregarded ? The Bourbons, by their foolish conduct, alarmed all the interests which grew out of the Revolution; and amidst the general hatred, all the resources of France at their command could ;tot obtain a majority in the Chambers.

But the same Paper well remarks, that the difference between the first and second Revolution in this respect, in France, was caused by the former having had to struggle with the effects produced by vicious institutions; whereas the latter had the path clear. Hence Lord Mikan, who approved of the second Revolution because it was not like the first, and disapproved of the first because it was not like the second, was not over and above consistent. His Lordship would have effects without causes; victo ries without battles. The article in the Journal des Debate is plausible. It represents the working classes as in a state of permanent hostility to the middle clipsets, and thence infers the danger of en trusting them with any power of suffrage' which would be used for the purpose of encroaching on the middle classes. We have not. apace at present for going into the consideratio n • of the questions in volved in this article. We know that the notions of the French Journalist are very general among the middle classes in England. It iii the knowledge of this apprehension in the middle classes that chiefly emboldens the enemies dhotis to perpetuate obti-es. The schoolmaster has already done much, and it is to be hoped that he will ultimately succeed in making the different classes acquainted with their tree interests.--Morning Chronicle: The Extraordinary Session of the States-General was opened on Monday, by a speech from the King, which will be found its another column. It is, as might have been expected, of too general a charac ter to allow of any inferences being drawn nom it. The question of the separation, he says, " can only be discussed in the manner which is prescribed by the same fundamental law, to the observance of which we are all bound by a solemn oath." If the States-General were not to decide according to the rules prescribed for the States-General, why aa limbic the States-General ? If the reason, however, for proposing the separation gas the preponderance of the Dutch, will that preponderance be less now ? The Belgians will be defeated in the State—Gene rid ; and the question for consideration is, how will they act afterwards ? tram* Chronicle. '.. The opening paragraph of the pamphlet recently published utek:r the title of The Duke of Welling ton and the Whi„os, affords tan exemplification of the di - nicely of dealing with general propositions : " It hits been said (observes the writer), and the ob servation has also been made in the House of Commons, that the public good is often more advanced by a weak than by a strong Government. Than this there cannot he a greater emir. No Government, whatever be its strength, can lung resist the force of public opinion in such a country us Great Britain; and a strong Adminis tration, whilst it cannot, therefore, be successfully used against the public, is enabled to act vigorously on its be half. On the other hand, a weak Administration, how ever well-intentioned, has not the means of effecting much that is goad, or what is equally import int, of preventing that which is evil." Now, before deciding whether a weak or a strong Government is snore likely to answer the public good, a great many points must be first settled. In the first place, how is a Ministry strong in England? By a liberal application of the motley of the people to those who, being returned to Parliament, not by the people, have an interest distinct from that of the people. It is for the interest of the people that as little money us possible should be taken from their pockets. It is for the interest of those who are re turned to Parliament that as much money as possible should be taken from them, because, the more is taken from the people the more they divide among themselves; and, generally speaking, what they dis burse as tax-payers falls far short of what they receive as tax-receivers. Where a Parliament is not re turned by the people, but by the aristocracy, a Mi nister will generally govern in the interest of the aristocracy. Whatever the inclinations of a Minister may be, he naturally.wishes to have few obstacles to contend with. If be had the means, he would, therefore, naturally strengthen himaelf by a liberal expenditure of the public money. And, in truth, economy has never been voluntary on the part of any Administration, but forced on it by the falling off in the revenue. Such a circumstance alone would be deemed a valid argument against profusion by those who have an interest in it, and who, if slot attended to, would perhaps endeavour either to thwart the Ministry in Parliament, or to intrigue against them. Ministers have, indeed, again and again stated, that to retteOch is to weaken them selves. So much, therefore, for the general propo sition, that the strongest Government is the best' Government. The worst of the matter is, that a strong oppositions cannot be of long continuance. The hope alone of obtaining a share of the loaves and fishes creates a strong opposition. But when the meats and the mercenary find that 'Ministers can stand their ground, they soon - desert their standard. The more honourable remain, who may be powerful in talents and honesty, but the Ministry will be strong in numbers. We have not been convinced by the article in the Edinburgh Review that an op position of Ultras (hating the Duke of Wellington. because he emancipated the Catholics), of Whip and independents, can agree in any thing more than i opposing his Grace. The moment they should suc- seed in overturning him they would f a ll o u t, h av i ng hardly one principle in common. But if their oppo sition have the effect of inspiring the Premier with a dread of their success, this alone may be produc tive of benefit. On this subject the Scotsman re marks, in an able article, which our readers will Lind in another column, that " If the three parties named have gained in anything like the proportion alleged by the late elections, we think the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel may look for a coa lition to turn them out of office. It the went of an efficient leader do not prevent such a union, in all probability nothing else will. But the question comes—in what manner i s this coalition to be resisted? The most obvious means of resisting it would be, to detach one of the patties from the other, by gaining it over. But the Duke is evidently averse to this sort of tactics. He is unwilling to take an entire party into the Cabinet; and the men he would se lect will not separate from their friends. Only one other 'means of Woke can avail the Ministers; and we shall re. joke if their situation forces them to have recourse to it." Our contemporary proceeds to allude to the tacs tics to which, in such a predicament, Ministers must have recourse— . " in a word, then, they must wrest the wespons of as sault from the hands of their opponents ; they must bring forward themselves those popular measures by which their adversaries will attempt to supplant them in the esteem and confidence of the country. The people care neither for Whigs nor Tories. What they want is reform and retrenchment ; the alleviation of burdens that are un avoidable ; the liberation of individuals from restrictions ; the suppression of monopolies and abuses ; the cheapen- Mg of justice; the rooting out of jobbing and corruption ; of waste and extravagance in high plaCes and in law. II Ministers exert themselves honestly and strenuously in this course, they will carry the hearts of the people with them, and may laugh at the efforts of any coalition." But then, it is not enough that the Duke wishes to have h 0 rivals near him in the Cabinet. He must have Men, aide to conduct the business of , the Country in. Parliament with at least average ability. A numerous Cabinet is ofcourse considered in itself a great evil ; and it may be safely allowed that the Administration of a country will always be beet conducted whets one presiding mind *tamps the pro ceedings with its impress. . Anarchy is always an evil, but an anarchical Executive, that is, a Mini 7, stry of heads of departments, each pursuing his own system, or quarrelling with one another its the Cabi net, is a monstrous evil. But the difficulty is to combine in a Cabinet sufficient ability with sufficieht docility. It is easy enough to form a Cabinet of men as subservient as so many serjeatits of the Guards, who instinctively lift their hands to their head whenever they open their mouths. But we fear that sort of renouncement of self-consequence will seldom be found associated with the qualities which enable a man to be a successful debater. Be this, however, as it may, we repeat, that in the pre sent state of things a strong Government is a great evil. What is to be desired is, a strong indepen dent body in Parliament, ready to support or op pose Ministers according to the nature of their mea stares. Economy and retrenchment add to the numbers of this independent body, and the strength of 114 independent body again favours economy and retrenehtfient. But strength of any other nescrtp tiou in Ministers than that which their measures give to them, we never wish to see.—Morn. Chron. It appears that the new French King, in endea vouring to take a walk in the streets a few Jays since, as a private individual, was, on being recog nized, followed by a crowd who made his progress impassab!e. On this subject one of the Paris Pa pers very properly remarks, "If the King has not a right to walk without seeing immediately a crowd at his heels, how can he find out the wants and wishes of the nation ?" We may be allowed to add, too, " What is become of the renowned politeness of the French people, that they thus allow their curiosity to get the better of their good manners ?" King Philip, however, like King William, is new to his subjects, and probably, es soon as the novelty of Kings mixing with th e i r s ubjects . haa worn off, both Monarchs will be enabled to do so without the inconvenience to which they are at present sub jected. There are persons among us, including writers in some few of the public journals, who profess to be exceedingly scandalized that Kings should attempt to live and act like other men, anti that a Monarch appearing on foot in the street iii a circumstance quite dangerous to " religion arid social order." Such persons are not the first who have been known "to strain at gnats and swallow camels." They see no danger in the vices of Kings; and so long as a Ruler, as the Pharisee in Scripture, is " not like other men," he is hedged with the livinity which these persons reverence,— But let a King exhibit the domestic virtues, and by mixing with his subjects, and, by becoming easy of access, learn their wants and the means of meets ing them, he sus lost all claim to reverence in their eyes, who value the Kingly effice, not for its utility hut its show, and who conclude' that, because the Constitution says the King " can do no wrong," would deprive him of the means of doi n g right.--• Morning flerald. • The dinner given by the " Manchester Rail-road Company" to the Duke of Wellington appears to have been, in a political point of view, a complete failure. Perhaps it was an error, to have imagined it was ever intended by its projectors as any thing more than a mode of giving eclat to a trading specu lation, by enlivening mechanical enterprise with a daili of " Waterloo glory," without any reference to the civil acts or character of the Premier. However this may be, it is certain that no man, of any pOli• tical distinction, with the exception of his Grace, attended the banquet. This was strange enough, considering all we were told, in the high-coloured style of numerous " puffs preliminary," touching the avidity with which the aristocratic classes sought after the tickets, and the high premium to which they rose front the competition to obtain them. It was the more strange that there should have been such a total absence of persons of political eminence, seeing that the Duke's favourite Journal, in which all his Ministerial merits are as zealously recorded as are the virtues of any canonized Saint in the Roman Celendar, had given a new stimulus to the inquisi tive spirit of the curious world, by milking a pompous sort of demi-official announcement that the Duke would take the opportunity of an after-dinner speech, to explain his connection with the Vague° Ministry, and to set the " stupid" accusation, which turned that connection into a crime, at rest for ever If such an announcement had appeared in any Provin cial Paper, or in any quarter holdinga less intimate communication with the pres en t Ministry, we should have considered it merely as an additional puff to en hence the value of the tickets ; but, though we could not suppose the Duke would be guilty of the indescribable bad taste of introducing so pain ful and personal a subject into .a convivial party, and defending himself in a place where he had no ac cuser, yet, from the confident manner in which the allusion was made, it was difficult not to believe that the Editor had received a communication to that effect from the Premier himself. If so, his Grace, has not redeemed his pledge, any more than the pledges which were given of improvements in the , administration of justice, and other ameliorations, in' the Speech front the Throne at the opening of last Session. He has given the preference to " second thought," and left his political character still to the defence of those assiduous persons whom Mr. Brougham has described in terms of which no man is desirous to enjoy the application. It is quite clear, however, that the Duke had not made the . Earl of Wilton acquainted with his change of inten tion. That Noble Lord evidently anticipated a display of political eloquence which would justify the " flourish of trumpets" that had preceded it in the Press. Preparatory to proposing the " health of his Majesty's Ministers," he said he could not sit down without expressing his regret at the state of opinion in this country. But, if the Duke of Wellington is so popular as his fawning parasites tells us he is, why does his friend (the Earl of Wilton) express his regret at the state of opinion in this country ? Is not this an admission that the state of Opinion is adverse to the Duke ? for, if it were in favour of him and his Government, his adherents would have no reason to. regret it. His Lordship went on to say, he " remembered when public opi nion was obedience to the laws of the land, and when the people wore obedient to the laws of the country, without cavil or complaint—then they were happy in attachment to the Aristocracy of the country. He was sorry, however, to say that was not so now." We do not know how many years exactly his Lordship has been collecting his know ledge of the habits and sentiments of the people, or how many generations of mortals have rolled away, while, like the Nestor of an early world, he has been repleeishing his mind with the riches of experience and wisdom for the instruction of the modern Achilles. His Lordship has, however, glanced a great way back i n t h e hoary annals of time, for he recollects when public opinion was obedience to the laws of the land, and consequently recollects when the laws of the land were made in obedience to the public opinion. Whether this was before the era of Wilks and Junius or the American Revolu tion, or Mr. Pitt's plan of Reform, we cannot tell, but certainly it was a long time ago; fori if we re collect right, there has been a struggle between the laws and public opinion, at least from the time that Oliver Goldsmith, a Tory poet, expressed, in the glowing language of inspired indignation, his feel ings at beholding— ,o Each wanton Judge new penal Statutes draw, Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law." It is above sixty years since these lines were penned, and surely that was not the time when public opinion was obedience to the law—therefore his Lordship's memory must glance buck upon some remoter period. The spirit in which our penal Statutes are framed has riot been much improved since that period, notwith s t an di ng t h e " enlightened " efforts of Sit' Robert Peel to" amen d" the Criminal Code—that is, after the fashi on o f t h e Pharisee in Scripture, to "wash the ou t s id e o f the cup o r plat ter, while the inside is full dad manner of 'Judean tress." Such Was the sort of amendment Introduced into our forgery laws by his Bill of last Session, which, with the exception of the " Beer Bill," was almost the only "great meas ure " t h at the Adrainis tration were able to carry. Lord Wilton may're collect, as his memory is so good, th at it was the Aristocracy, whose want of popular influence he so pathetically laments, that restored all its cruel end sanguinary provisions to the Bill of Sir Robert Peel, in opposition to repeated and solemn decr siong of the House of Commons, In contemp tuous disregard of the . petitions o f t h e peoples and in defiance to Chnstiae sentiment and pub lie opinion I If this be art instance of the capacity, the judgment, the moral feeling, which the Aristocracy display in waking laws for this great civilized country, c an i t be wondered at that the people no longer regard the laws with that re• verence which they would command if framed in conformity with the enlightened visit of public opinion ? If the Arietooracy and the Admieistrn- Lion have lost the public favour, who have they to blame? When Apples. Claudius charges theßoma'n patriot with bringing the Deternvirs into contempt, what i s t h e reply ? Dentatus tells hint that the Deeemvirs have brought themselves into con tempt." The political allusions of Lord Wilton were obviously intended to " draw out" the Duke of 'Wellington; but they failed; and the charges connected with the Polignac Ministry remain to be discussed in another place. The speech of the Premier, indeed, just touched the line of politic 4, but only to chill with disappointment the hopes which it excited. It was ludicrous to see how the ardent curiosity to penetrate the deep mysterie3 of Cabinets was thrown hack upon the resources of the convivial board, while the sparkling glass ad ministered consolation in place of copious draughts of inspiring eloquence.---Morning Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET. Yesterday Mary Ann IValeelin and her sister Sarah trakelin, a child only 12 years old, were charged before Mr. MtNsuum, with having stolen a quantity or plate and other articles from Mrs. Sparks, a widow, residing at No. 2, Norris -street, Haymarket. The prisoners were committed for trial. A respectable-looking man, named Wm. Stewart was charged with having defrauded Mr. Potter, a lamp-manufaci twee. The prisoner was remanded; but ut the evening sitting be wad brought up and discharged, there being no evidence against him. L A MB ETkI.STREET. Edward Henry..2lfillt Smith, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Sampson, Hanbury, and Co., wag yester. day brought before Messrs. WYATT bud WALKER, charged with embezzling large sums of money, the property of his employers. The prisoner was fully committed to Ncwgate for trial. It was stated in the office that the prisoner's situation brought him in from 3501. to .500/. per annum, and that it was in consequ e n c e of hi s ad vancing money to some of his friends, which had not been repaid, that he had been placed in his pre sent situation. 11 T VON-GARDEN. Yesterday Mica .Runn and Mary Claneby were brought up for final examination, charged as common uttererit of counterfeit money. James Fuller, police-constable, No. 165, division E, on Sunday evening last, saw the prisoners along Red Lion -street, Holborn, and knowing them to be common titterers of counterfeit money, and suspecting them to have some of it about them at the time, he took another police-officer with him, and followed them into Dcvon•hire-street, Queen square, where he stopped them, and took them into custody. As they proceeded along towards the watch-house, in St. the prisoner, Flynn, flung herself down in the middle of the street, and lay with her face and hands over the g ratin g of the common sewer. While he was endeavouring to raise her from this situation he heard the jingling of money on the bars of the grate, and at the same in stant saw a shilling drop from the prisoner's mouth and fall between the bars into the sewer. He looked down and saw three shillings lying at the bottom. He then had the grating taken up, and sent for sweep, who descended into the sewer, and recovered the three shillings, which lie marked, and they were the same now produced. He searched both the prisoners, arid on Flynn he found two shillings and fivepence in good money. Nothing was found on plenary. Edward Kitchenham, police-serjeant, and the sweep alluded to, confirmed his testimony. Clanchy was ordered to be discharged, and Flynn was fully committed for trial. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, an elderly man, dressed in a faded suit of drub livery,'applied to Mr. HOSKINS for advice and assistance to enable him to recover his wife, under the following circumstances : The applicant stated that he had resided in Mary lebone for some years along with his wife and family. Last Monday morning he left his home, and parted with his wife upon the best terms imaginable, and, upon his, return in the evening, he knocked as usual for admission, but no wife came to open the door. Thinking she was out, be waited for a few minutes, but, upon looking up, he ob served a light. He then repeated the knock, when, after the lapse of a few minutes, his wife opened. the window, and asked who he was, and his busi ness; but, upon seeing it was him, she obsetved that it was useless fur him to come there, for the landlord bad been, and seized on his goods. Mr. Hosiatis bere interimpted the applicant in his narrative by observing that he had no power to interfere; for, if he owed any rent to his landlord, he was authorised to seize his goods upon non-pay, mem. Applicant—But I owed no rent, although my landlord has seized on me for 5/. lbs., for I gave the money to my wife to pay the rent. Mr. HOSKINS—What has she done with the money ? Applicant--I am not able to say, for she will not let me into the house. Mr. HosKiNs—l cannot tin nny thing for you, for your landlord has a right to take possession of them. Applicant—Now, your Worship, I wish to knew whether I have not a right to go to my own home without being told I shall be given into custody ? Mr. IlostuNs—Certairdy you have. _ " Thtn I have been refused," replied the appli cant; " for my wife says I shall not come in, not even to see my family; and I think that is very hard; for I have been married ro her nearly 18 years, and I am the father of her children." Mr. ilosittNs—l do not see the use of your going to an empty house, fur, if your furniture is taken, you must be aware that your family is not there. Applicant—The house is not empty; for upon my wife and the landlord lulling my goods, new furniture has been brought in, and I am informed the place is, now elegantly furnished. Mr. HOSKINS—Do you think that your landlord is living with your wife ? Applicant—l am notable to swear that they are living together, for I have not seen them; but my landlord is a single man; and I tun told that, he is rather given that way. Mr. HOSKINS—ReaIIy, I don't know what you want toe to do for you. Applicant—l want to be allowed to see my chil dren, arid also to have my wife again. Mr. flostrnva—You can have a summons, to serve it yourself, if you like, to call upon your landlord to attend here, and perhaps he will give you an ex planation. The applicant replied, that Was all he wanted, on which a summons was ordered to be made out. Upon it being signed, it was handed over to him, When, thanking the Magistrate for his assistance, he withdrew from the office. UNIONJIALL Yesterday A young female, named Mary Giteiti, was ,brought before Mr. SwsußY, charged with ptectehdeinlg day. ifea young man, named Causto n , on the Fromthreatening t i he milkman at walv statement‘nrth, !t ofutphpeaecotemd that plain Mary ant,whot Guest sa had for some months past annoyed him with her importunities tp be married. Never having . given her any encouragement to expect such an event hap peeing, milkman told her " pl um p an d p l a i n ! that he l vt'Ould not have her at any price, adding, that if she was to remain single until he made her his wife, she would assuredly meet with a disap pointment. Mary, however, would not take a denial on a subject which concerned her future haP pines* so much, and declared that unless he con- seined to a matrimonial alliance with her, she-would haunt him night and day. After having made this declaration, she rigidly kept her promise, and fol lowed him like a spectre about to the houses of his c ustorners, whom she took pains to inform of her w tand that r he attachment for him. T o suc h a height did she carry on this sy stem o f annoyance, that he was fear f:rol t l d wo p u e i t d m ultimately t p t e e; l t o t e n s ea perseveregl li a : s m il k-walk iks. in r a a li d kt e . , Oi the pe altogether, e lli e l tin e l tV g as day, she was at her post as usual, watching his possible, telling and ig, hern h f e t s h p e o a k b i to onrdileras tiy of pectitilemettlytinags and hiedetermination to live in single blessetl. 4tess. The moment, however, he tittered the words, ;she got into a violent rage, and for the first time :exhibited her temper, which, he could assure the Magistrate, was not of the most agreeable kind, for - she gave him a thump on the nose with such force . as to stun him • and moreove r th reatene d, t ha t one or the other Of them " should fall" before many days had elapsed. This threat implied that she would either kill him tor herself. With regard to his own life, he should not much relish to lose it yet, and there was no knowing what a woman might do while labouring ender such excited feel. ;rigs as she had displayed; therefore he trusted the Magistrate would grant him that protection which he stood in so much need of. The defendant declared that the milkman had acted the part of a faithless lover towards her, and that was the chief reason that induced her to follow him about. She had made up her mind to annoy him for his conduct towards her, and considered she was justified in the way she had acted. The Magistrate said, that notwithstanding the alleged misconduct of the milkman towards the de fendant, yet she was not justified in pursuing such a system of annoyance towards that person, and in order to restrain her in future she must now be made to put in hail. The defendant said diet she should prefer a gaol rather than procure bail for committing that which she did not consider an offence. She was therefore locked up. TO WN.IIA U. Maurice Delay was charged on suspicion of de fratAng a pour Scotch simpleton of a sovereign The poor fellow said his name was James M‘Wil. ham, and that he arrived in Sr. Catherine's Docks yesterday afternoon, by the Hawk p ac k et , f rom Sheerness, where he: had been to see his brother, who gaVe him 20s. in silver to pay his passage to Leith, on his way home to Dumfries. As he was leaving the docks, a gentleman (the prisoner, he believed) came up and asked him the way to Lon don-bridge; he told him that he did not know, being a stranger in town, or the way to his lodgings in Westminster. When they came to London brhige the gentleman said that was the nearest. way to Westminster, and pressed him so much to drink, that he accompanied him to a public-house, where they had a pint of ale; and while drinking it, another gentleman came in to say he had lost his way, and would he greatly obliged by the first gentleman's showing him to the Star public-hou , e, in the Borough, which was agreed to, and they all went there; at the Star, the last gentleman who insisted upon treating him with a pot of porter asked him how much money he had to carry him home, and he told him 20s. in silver. " Oh, by all means, then, let me advise you to get a sovereign for it, as it is very dangerous to carry loose silver about in London. Give it me, and I'll get you a sovereign," said the same gentleman. Witness con tinued, that as he had to pay the Captain on Thurs day, he thought it wasof no consequence; but being orerpersuaded, gave up the silver, and the gentleman left the room, but presently returned with what he thought a sovereign, arid threw it on the table; but before he could take it up, his first acquaintance had folded it in paper, and insisted on placing it in his fob, which he did, desiring him to feel if it was there, and this done, they parted. He had not been long in the street before he determined to examine his sovereign, and, to make sure it was good, offered to change it ut a grocer's, where he was told it Mika gilt, farthing, anti threatened to be taken up. He then gave information to the police. The prosecutor, notwithstanding he had chargert the prisoner in the station-house as the man who. wrapped up the supposed sovereign, refused now to; swear to.,ke person, as his clothes were not the same, and the prisoner was consequently discharged. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday Ceptaia George Sherrard Qemsnander of the Lowther Castle East Indiaman, was charged before Mr. BALLANTINE with assaulting I')liiitl'Orizzle, a seaman of that vessel, on the high seas, during the voyage homewards. The complainant, a tall powerful German sailor, deposed that on the 7th of May last all hands were called on deck. He was obeying the orders given him, and was under the necessity of leaning against some paint pots, when the Captain called out," Yen Dutch son of a —, you have rubbed the paint off the side of the ship.' The paint was wet at the time, the vessel having been recently painted. Witness replied, " Indeed I have not, Sir; it is too bad to be Called such names for nothing at all." Captain Bettie immediately came down the poop ladder and struck him on the head with his spy glass. He asked, " What do you do that for ?' When the Captain struck him several severe blows in the face, and made his nose bleed profusely. He was then taken on the poop' as a prisoner, , his nose still bleeding, where he remained, about a quarter of an hour, when he was ordered to his duty. As he passed the Captain, he showed him his trousers, to show that he had not touched the paint, when he was again sworn at, and told to attend to his duty.' Samuel Morrison and Oliver Hildebrand, able seamen of the Lowther Castle, were then called in separately, and rigidly examined by Mr. BALLAN TINE. They gave exactly the same account of the affair as Grizzle, and confirmed his evidence. Captain Battle, in defence, said the whole state ment of the complainant was false. At the time mentioned, one of the after-guard trod on Grizzle's toe, and the latter called the man by a very offensive and horrible epithet. He immediately called our, " Come, Sir, I don't allow that language here." The complainant then abused him, and behaved very insolently, when he - pushed him on one side, and ordered him aft, Captain Battle declared that he never struck him with his glass at all. Mr. Gilman, the chief officer of the Lowther Castle, corroborated the captain's evidence. The complainant was again called, and, said no. thing of the kind.passed is sworn to by Mr. Ginner'. Mr. BALLANTINIt—inid any man tread on your too? Complainant —No one, Sir; nor did I have an altercation with any person at the time. Hildebrand and Morrison gave similar testimony, and positively swore that Captain Bettie called the complainant a Dutch son of a —, and after striking him with his glass, knocked him down with his fist. The complainant said there were other witnesses in attendance, but Mr. BA LLANTINe declined ques. Boning any more. Captain Battle said the complainant was stopping all the work by the conversation, and it was neces sary to check him'instantly, to prevent worse con sequences. Mr. I3ALLANTINE observed that officers must do their best to preserve proper discipline on board, but if they exercised undue severity, the crew had a right to question their authority in a court of law on coming ashore. In this case the assault had been distinctly and clearly proved, and be should call on Captain Bettie to enter into his own reco nisance* to the amount of 50!. to appear to ta ke his trial at the nest Admiralty Sessions. The Ma gistrate said if any of the ship's company insulted Captain Bettie, or any of his officers, on leaving the office, they should be immediately committed to prison; but no such attempt was made. The approaching Doncaster Races will pos sess unusual interest, as a desperate effort is to be made to prevent the celebrated south country horse, Priam, from running away with the St. Leger Stakes.

She has the brightness of a star of the sixth magnitude, bears a very good illumination, and at 22 hours sidereal time her right, ascension was about 1 hour, 34 min., 80 see., and her southern declination is increasing about six minutes and a half daily; for some nights no star of, equal bright nese wilt lie near her path ; hence she may be found without difficulty. MUTINY at the INGLIS 11liST !Slane. Another application waa inade by Mr. Lawless, reap etable solicitor, who attended on behalf of the firm of Messrs. Borradaile and Co., the owners of the Inglis, for a warrant to apprehend seven seamen of that vessel, who were discharged by Captain Riehbell on Friday night last, in consequence of no one appearing against them, after being confined in irons 72 days. Mr. Flower, of Furnival's-inn, on behalf of the crew of the Inglis, attended to oppose the applisatien. Mr. Lawless, '.ho was accompanied Dudinatt, the commander, Dr. Lawson, the Istrgson• and several officers of the Jnglis, reiterated the la meta made on Saturday, that Cl twin Dudoin did not appear against the men in consequence eflds misunderstanding the officer's message ) and ell ant aware the men were in custody until he saw the no count of what passed in the public prints.
