SPIRIT OP Tfll PUBt/C, JOURNALS. We regret to learn that the Duke of Wellington, en his return from the Flouse'Of Lords on TuesdaY, was assailed by a mob of ignorant and misguided persons with marks of popular indignation, too un equivocal to be mi s u n d ers t oo d. Not satislied•with !hissing awl heating the Prime Minister; it is added that he was even pelted with missiles, which exposed him to Some degree of danger,• from which he vra. only rescued hit he forbearance of the mob towards his Grace's servant, who stuck close to his master, de termined to *share his danger. All this is in the !highest Oegree disgraceful. That the Duke of Wel lington, ,'whose splendid military career offers one of the brightest, if not the most brilliant page in his country's history, should ever become an object of any thing but love and attachment from his countrymen, is a circumstance greatly, to be de ., plored. We fear, however, that it is but too true, Oat the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula and Watetlon, and as First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street, is very different character in the estimation of a large part of the commu. pity. Be k so. We wish it were otherwise; but we /ear it is so, In the exercise of our own vocation we have ourselves repeatedly, as we apprehend, on but too solid grounds, con• damned the Minister with as much zeal as we have applauded the General. Nor should we, therefore, condemn any part of the community, who took a fair, manly, reasonable mode of showing the Duke the diminished state of popularity in which his political conduct has involved him. But that any part of the people of England should be so base, so degraded, and so cowardly, as to use personal violence to the once justly -.valued idol of their admiration, and should hunt such a man as the Duke of Wellington, as they would a mad dog, through the streets, is us degrading to them as the Duke's high and imperial). able fame has been, and must ever be, glorious to himself. We are warm friends to the free exercise and expression of popular opinion. But popular ' opinion to be respected, must be respectable : and who will attach any thing but contempt and infamy to those, who, lost in the crowd, vent their ani mosity towardi the statesman in acts of personal violence to the man ? No—that is not the way in which the boasted march of intellect would teach a nation of freemen to treat the first servant of the Crown, even were he not such a man as the Duke of Wellington ; on whom we ourselves wage war on the par( of the people With the weapons of truth and reason, not of party virulence and mis guided personal rage. A few weeks at farthest—per haps a few days—will show the country what the Duke of Wellington proposes to do towards the relief of the calamities which have too long impended over the country. Let the people patiently await the development of events, which violence cannot accelerate, but may delay. Let them, above ell, re member, hat they have a King on the throne who every day evinces more and more the sympathy which he'entertains towards every class of his sub jects. The Minister of William the Fourth cannot tither trample upon the liberties of the people, or turn a deaf ear. to their distresses, where he even so inclined---for this plain reason, that his master will not let him. Let us, then, for the honour of our country, hear no more of personal violence, or any unmanly conduct towards the Duke of Welling ton. As to fear or danger, they must be feelings quite unknown to the bravest man of the age, and all attempts of the kind can only recoil upon the assailants. The Duke of Wellington might have been, and still may be, as popular in the Cabinet as in the field; and, much as we deplore the delay and •the drawbacks which have occurred to prevent his beving:hitherto become so,. we do not despair that, as'the Minister of the most popular Monarch, his Graee may 'soon again become the most popular subject of the empire..—/Iforning Lierald. We publish a letter signed " An Englishman," although, in the words of the writer," it needs no ghost to tell ns" that en English sun never shone on his nativity or breeding. The vanity, acrimony, and soreness of the writer, betray him in every line. So it is plainly intimated that the " conserpiences which might have resulted from Mr. Daniel nell's encounter " with Sir Henry Hardinge, were qua as Ireland ought not to have been exposed to ! We wonder bow many persons living, of those who have whole coats upon their backs, would rate at such a price any accident to the learned gentleman from the pistol of Sir Henry Hardinge ? One person certainly ; just one, and no more. But " the murderer of O'Connell" would, at all events, get a Eeerage! And he would persuade us that "an nglishman" indite* trash like this. Then, for the candour of this." Englishman." We said that Mr. Daniel O'Connell's conduct had given us " inex pressible disgust," and, putting that construction on the words we used which is best edapted to his ,purpose, this Milesian " Englishman" insinuates` ;het our disgust, was occasioned by Mr. O'Connell's "refusal to fight." It is, we repeat, a gross mis representation, so to describe our meaning. The " refusal to fight," if taken per se, has, nor only in Mr. O'Connell's case, but in every other, our sincere applause and sympathy, as it roust have those of all conscientious Chris tians. That, however, for which we have neither sympathy nor respect, but which, on the contrary, moves our " inexpressible disgust" and abhorrence, h the hypocritical conversion to base purposes of this pious and exemplary resolution. A man may so outrage and persecute his fellow -creature, that no mode of redress is left for him but by a course, which, considered apart from such criminal adjuncts, • would be in the last degree reprehensible. A man who abuses, calumniates, and thereby wrongs his neighbour, so as to create on behalf of the latter a manifest title to indemnification, while at the same time the species of injury (however terrible the degree) is one to which the law can not administer any adequate remedy—that aggressor is regarded by the common consent of mankind as bound to pawn hls own personal safety in redemption of his victim's far more valuable reputation._ It therefore, not the mere denial of jnstice which revolts us : it is the wanton perpetration of injury, with a previous and well-calculated assurance of impunity, from the systematic denial of redress. There is in this a mingled evidence of impudence, ruffianism, and depravity, of which when we say that it fills us with " disgust," there is nothing but pitiful absurdity In the assertion that such disgust is caused by only a single member of the whole con nected series of offences. But " insult and injury have been inflicted" upon Mr. O'Connell's country by Sir Henry Hardinge, in issuing the proclittnation alluded to. Sir Henry Harding. is but an erect'. titre minister of the instructions of his superiors; and might not have been consulted by them on the owe. sion, and thirst not have disobeyed their commands. Was it not, then, extremely disengenuous, and even dastardly, in the agitator to fling the entire weight of popular fury at the head of this subaltern officer ?--- And, with regard to the alleged justification of Mr, O'Connell's violence,--the " insulting and injuring his country,"—who is it that really insults, end in jures, and threatens to lay waste, and to desolate, Ireland, if it be not Mr. O'Connell himself, who makes 5,000,000 of men the tools or stalking 119rses of 'his own aspiring selfishness, and devotes his in ' twee, activity, perseverance, and subtlety—every thing hut his fortune and his person, both of which rise wotolY held, sacred by the learned gentleman,— to the overthrow of every authority and institution through which Ireland has been raised into political existence, and to the prospect of eventual good ? We conclude by strenuously invoking from the Government the most diligent and liberal investiga tion into whatever causes may still retard the pro gress of trenquillity in Ireland, and the growth of native capital, or the transfer of wealth from Great Britain. We should insist upon the completion his Msjesty'a Minist ers , of amine effectual n ' by for . calling idienesti into uctieith=e-for gradually , sedinir gross ignorenee by edtrention,—for eg e l a il ; the land contribute to support th e p overty which -a scandalous abuse of the rights of. property may have aggravated or engendered, amid, thus far, eventually ' " releasing the people of Ireland from that vile bond age to the designs of facticin in which Mr. O'Connell and his associates have contrived for many years to hold them,—a bondage which begins in turbulence, but (if, it continues) cannot fail to end in deep and universal TO TFIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR,—What a pity, what a sad pity, that Mr. O'Con nell has not violated the laws of. Gad• and man, to save you from a feeling of " inexpressible disgust." What a pity that he has not exposed the cause of his country to the consequences which might result from his encounter with a person manifestly hiring his pistol to the dastardly enemies of Ireland. No bad speculation, either; for I should set down the murderer of O'Connell as the most fortunate member of that trade,—a Peerage at all events for him. • So then, Sir, in your opinion, a Christian, strictly adhering to the Christian's law, needs to "explain" and "justify" such his resolution. • And how, according to the Times, is he to explain and justify ? By looking tamely on at the infliction of insult and injury upon his country ? Conscious of the power to lacerate and holdup to universal execration the wretched instrument of oppres sion, it seems the Christian must not venture to exercise the faculty of thb citizen ; and above all he must not dare to " e‘nploy.offensive and outrageous terms of insult, be they ever so appropriate and merited, such liberties being specially reseeyed for, gentlemen, who are ready, on the call of honour, to become murderers or murdered ! Permit tne to exclaim with the poet*— 0 tempera ! 0 mores / and thus to interpret the exclamation, Oh ! Times / is this your system of morality ? How charmingly safe is the assertion of the Times, that the Christian ought scrupu lously and religiously to abstain from the display of man ners and utterance of language likely to wound the honour of another individual. There needs no chest, come front the dead, to tell us this. But wonderful indeed would ,be the power of manners and of language, if either, ,or both combined, could wound the honour of any individual,— Heretofore, I always imagined that the only wound which honour could receive was from its owner ; and that the words of others, whether true or false, could do no more than proclaim that violation. If this view were correct, Sir Henry Hardinge's feelings must have been completely sheathed (his conscience suggesting no reproach), when Mi. O'Connell stated in writing that "no man was more ready to disavow and contradict any error in point of fact into which he may have fallen." But, alas, poor Sir Henry was not in a condition to be atoned in such a way, and consequently the fastidious editor of the Times has con ceived "inexpressible disgust."—l am, Sir, with much respect for Mr. O'Connell's patriotic and Christian con duct throughout the affair in question, with contempt for the instrumentality to which Sir Henry Hardinge has lent himself, and with regret for your anti-Irish preju dices, AN ENGLISHMAN. • The public is now pretty well convinced, we be lieve, of the truth of the observation made in this Paper six weeks tigo,that the present French Ministry could not possibly last, and that sooner or later it must give way, either to the force of public opinion, which was decidedly against it, or to the still more convincing argument of an appeal to arms. The Paris Papers, even those in fact whose office it is to.speak in favour of the Ministry, now allow that such is the situation of affairs; and, we, there fore, expect every hour • to receive an account'of "as radicata change in its construction as would be that of the introduction of the Whigs into office here, and the . expulsion of the Tories from the snug places and fat sinecures which they have enjoyed, with so few intermissions during the last 70 years. For this result the French Ministry has to thank its own wisdom as much as the ,spirit.now prevalent in France. Had it entered from the first into the feelings of the people, and instead of endeavouring to repress them, rather shown an inclination to lend the way in the path of reform, its reign might have been endless ; but its first decision appears to have been, that although the revolution was good and im periously called for, it ought not to extend beyond those limits within which it judged it advisable to circumscribe it; and al its acts, since its admission to office, have shown that it was more anxious to controul than to lead the public mind. It has done little or, any thing, for example, for the liberty of the Press, which is omnipotent in France—it has rather endeavoured to repress its follies and effer vescence, than to strengthen itself by a free ex pression of its opinions—it has instituted many odious and uncalled-for prosecutions, and, finally, in order the more completely to disgust thine who had to mourn the loss of friends and relatives in the late revolution, it endeavoured to trick the people into an abolition of the punishment of death, for the purpose of saving the lives of men whose lives were not worth saving, and who, assuredly, de served no mercy at the hands of the people of Paris. These are some of its sins of commission, and it would be too tedious to enumerate those in the way of omission of which it has been guilty. Suf fice it to say, that, with' the best intentions in the world, the present Government has contrived, whether for the peace or disturbance of Europe re mains to be seen, to render itself as unpopular as any Government can well be, and that we expect to hear, by the next, arrival of its replacement by another more energetic in its conduct and more re publican in its spirit. The Minister of Justice, M. Dupont de l'Eure, will, no doubt, be the chief of it.—Morning Advertiser. There is a sympathy between nations which be comes strong in proportion to the facilities of mu tual intercourse, and the promptitude with which feelings and ideas, as well as the more cumbrous materials of mercantile traffic, can be communicated from people to people. That this sympathy is stronger at the present moment than it has ever been known in any former age, there cannot, we suppose, be any doubt whatever in the mind of any rational observer of the affairs and transactions of mankind. This, upon the whole, we believe to be a very favourable symptom of ie progress of the human race in the career of knowledge, of virtue, and of happiness. But we cannot at the same time dis guise from ourselves that there are dangers and cala mities incident to this progress, which it ought to be the first object of every wise and prudent nation to avoid. The vulgar error of supposing that the progress of nations in knowledge, virtue, or happiness, can be accelerated by the sudden and violent transfer of political power to the numericsl majority of the people, has already received, or is about to receive, a striking and melancholy illustration in the cases of France and Belgium. In both, the physical force of the rabble has burst the bounds which restrained it. In both, democracy reigns - triumphant. In both, national happiness, virtue, and prosperity, are extinct or invisible. In France we behold a Go vernment attempting to propitiate the people by consenting to the sacrifice of men,. whoie death the King, the Ministers, and . the Legislature have une quivocally pronounced unnecessary, and - therefore unjust ; in other words, we there behold the adhe sion of the people to the Government precariously maintained by means of an act which the latter has already declared to be, in its estimation, murder.— But we find, moreover, that this surrender of the conscience of the Government to the fury of the people is not enough. The Ministers are to be dismissed, the Chamber of Deputies to be dissolved, a new Chamber to be elected by univerial suffrage,' to be 'instituted to 'please the people thus eager for blood. Who can believe, in these circumstances, that the Crown of King Philip, or the head which wears it, is safe for three months? . Who can believe. that France is destined, to escape a sanguinary reign of anarchy and terror? Who can doubt that she will have to retrace her , steps through much peril and suffer ing'? 'The situation and prospects of Belgiurn are still more deplorable than those of France. - There we already behold anarchy and terror in full domi nion. Throughout this unfortunate country no man can say that any thing—that his property, his' per son, his voice, or his conscience, is his own. The vagabonds of every country are there collected, and, under the title of the defenders of freedom, practise a domestic tyranny the most galling and oppressive. Honest citizens have no longer a borne, for their homes have become the dens of infamous plun derers and marauders, who,. in the sacred name of liberty, practise every species of insolence, vio lence, and extortion, The experience of free quartets has roughly awakened the respectable in habitants of Belgium from the dream of political freedom which they once so fondly indulged. But the tide of democracy has set in. They im pelled its:Waves, and they are overwhelmed as they deserve. • ,To complete the felicity of their con dition, the ProVisional Government, the organ of democracy, has- just discovered that they want money. A voluntary and patriotic, or to speak plainly, a forced loan, is accordingly added to all the other calamities of that class of the people in Belgium who have anything to give or to lend. Such are the circumstances of two countries which are at the present moment under the influence of democratic revolution. And, can it then be said that the British nation has nothing to fear ? Is it so sure to escape the effects of that moral contagion for the spread of which the actual state of human Society affords extraordinary and increasing faci lities, that it can afford at this moment to en gage in the small game of parties and of fac tions ? Is there any duty so imperative upon all the respectable and influential classes of society as that of rallying round the Government — of presenting a determined knit to democratic encroachment—of strenuously , maintaining and Upholding the established institutions of the State? The present Session of Parliament will enable the country to judge of the character of its various classes of statesmen. The factious and the patriotic will now respectively and permanently take their stations in public estimation. • The sal vation of the world raises us above the ordinary sphere of party conflicts. The great object of all parties ought to be to preserve the Constitution of Great Britain during a season of immediate and peculiar danger. It is not necessary to say that the present Administration is the best possible AdminiF tration. It is only necessary to inquire who would in fact be the most likely to succeed them if they were displaced, and whether the only change that could be expected is such, as to justify any man, who, in the hope of effecting that change, should pursue a course manifestly, calculated to impair the energy and strength of the British Government, in the actual circumstances of the titres abroad and at home? This is the plain practical question for the Members of the Legislature. We feel the fullest persuasion that they will not hesitate to answer it as they ought.—Morning Post. Blackwood's Magazine for November opens with a long article under the title of " Political Anticipa tions," full of abuse of the . Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, for conduct which, for the most part, entitles them to the gratitude of the people. The Orangemen, will not soon forgive the Duke of Wellington; but their day is over. If the Duke had no other enemy to combat, he might proceed with confidence. But the period is one of peculiar difficulty; and though the hostility of the Orange Writers be of little consequence, the facts which they state are not the less entitled to serious attention. All anxieties, of ancient. or modern growth (says the writer in Blackwood), foreign or domestic, will be s Nallowed up in the one overwhelming judg ment—yes ! we may call it a providential judgment —which is now gathering upon this apostate Cabinet from Ireland, the theatre of its apostacy. Oh ! righteous retribution 1 that even there, where they sinned against the light of their consciences, the heaviest cloud of panic and confusion is gathering to blight their councils."--ApoStacy I , Well—and supposing there had been no apostacy, to use this absurd term—would the cloud ,of panic and con fusion have been the less heavy ? Was it to be tolerated that the people of Ireland should be di vided for ever into oppressors, and hewers of wood and drawers of water ? • The time was 'come, when the system could not be longer upheld. The motive of the Duke of Wellington might differ from that which he gave out. The wri ter in Blackwood, who speaks with much confidence, says that the Duke has given different versions of his reasons for eman cipation. He speaks of his view of the ease, being " countenanced by the many different accounts which his Grace has given of his reasons for that job, doubtless with entire veracity at the moment, notwithstanding the utter irreconcileability of the several statements. In particular we vouch for the following as one of his various versions of the case. Soon after the Bill was first launched upon the astonished Parliament, the Duke of Wellington wrote to two or three among the great territorial aristo crats, explaining his motives, and varnishing the case. One ; of these favoured friends, whom the Mi nister thought it necessary to propitiate, was the Duke of Rutland; his letter we did not sec, but we did see one to another great man, which, in the opening sentence, was declared to be of the same terms and date as that to his Grace of Rutland... Now, in this letter, the Noble inditer, disclaiming all the pretences with which he had imposed on Parliament, avowed as his real and substantial res. sons for granting emancipation, not the hope of con. ciliation, and all that by which ' the marines' were hocussed—but simply, that without some such boon he could not trust the army,' being in so large a proportion Popish.". Allowing that the Duke was afraid of the army, does this.prove that conciliation was not called for ? If we cannot have an army which shall not be more than half Catholic it would be foolish to provoke a Catholic insurrec tion. But then a storm is now impending over Ire land! No doubt there is such a storm. But the storm is not the fault of Catholic, Emancipation— long-continued mis-government has produced here its usual effects ; and the delay of emancipation would but have aggravated the evil. However, let us hear this writer— " The distress of Ireland, from a total want of poor-laws is in every case considerable ; even the most prosperous years are marked by scenes that in other countries would he thought a scandal to Christianity and civilizition. Annually do the selfish among the landlords, and the mean in spirit amongst the very noblest of the land, club their beggarly quotas to ship off poor labourers, either to England, for the momentary purpose of scrambling for a pittance wrested from the impoverished peasantry of England and Scotland, or else to Canada, where they are un mercifully turned adrift by thousands at a time, with out any preparation for the climate or the state of society, and trepanned from their native country by the foulest misrepresentations. But them and other scenes of distress are upon a trifling- scale compared with what is now going on in Ireland as one imme diate consequence of the Bill for balancing the Catholic concession by destroying the forty-shilling freeholders. This part of the tenantry or cofflore, protected no longer by their political value as voter*, are every where expelled without mercy—being now looked on as mere nuisances and vermin. The land swarms with these miserable out casts ; and the coming winter will he the darkest and most portentous for Ireland that she has long known. " Such would be the state of things even without poli tical ferments. But at this moment of tremendous agita tion from wide-spread domestic misery, does Mr. O'Con nell descend, like some incarnation of the evil principle, to vex and plague the wretched land with systematic agitation for the Repeal of the Union, the Taxation'of the Absentees at the rate of 75 per cent., and other measures of that character. Never was Ireland in a situat;on to give such dreadful effect to his inflammatory doctrine 'The country is overspread by exasperated malcontents • and in cities crowded with such auditors—C or k, Water. ford, Kilkenny, and others—he has scattered his fire brands with an affected caution to beware of combustibles• • a • r e • It is not too much to say, that tho general contempt, the roars of laughter which ke provoked by his ' vow that was registered in heaven ;' the blind upon his right hand,'— and all the rest of his theatrical rants in excuse for his white feather—these memorable disgraces are the very pledges for his pushing forward his Union agitation to some extreme result. lie feels that it is essential for him to do some great thing to reinstate him in the credit which he won by his triumph over the whole English Government in the business of Emancipation, and which be afterwards lost i tio easily to an individual in England. Whatever may be thought of Mr. O'Connell's motives, considering hint as a politic man of the world, measuring forces with a Government as profligate as himself, and a thou sand times weaker, at is impossible to refuse him some degree of sympathy. In Parliament he is nobody ; in Ireland he is inspired, and bath a demon. ' The Duke of Northumberland becomes a c y p h er b y his si d e; the combined Government is ridi cu l tos i n his presence ; h e trampled them like mire beneath his feet in'his former struggle ; if it is possible for Ireland; united as one man, to resist 60;000 British bayonets, he will do so again." There is much truth in all this. Why should the people of Ireland wish to uphold things as they are? :,Why should a sinecure Church devour so large a portion of the resources of the nation ? Why should the great body of the peasantry remain without the means of acquiring capital ? Will any man have' the hardihood to say that agitation can injure Ireland ? .Will any man have the hardihood to say that an oppressed people ever yet succeeded in extorting anything from their oppressors, except through their fears ? We are glad to see that the writer in_ Blackwood estimates with tolerable cor rectness the'efforts of the Presi " By improved printing, and concurrent improvements in thearts allied to it, books and journals of every order are now rapidly coming into the hands of the humblest poor. In the American United States, even, newspapers are multiplied with an enormous profusion, and a cost so trifling, that, with some improvements applied to the art of compiling such journals, they are likely to supply as much and as useful reading as a poor man's daily labours will allow him to in. dulge. Why are they not diffused in the same vast extent through Europe? ' Simply because the State interferes every where to cut short the circulation by heavy taxation, the object iu this being notoriously not mere revenue (for there is no direct tax levied upon books), but the very wise one of applying a au, omen or drag to the ruinous diffusion of political irritation, in carrying speculations so intelligible and so easily abused to the firesides of the poor. • • . Immense exertions have been pushed for ward by good men and bad' en throughout Europe for the last twenty-five years, to promote the education of the poor; and at the very moment when books (as we rejoice to know) and newspapers (as we tremble to anticipate) are en the point of being carried plentifully' amongst that class, the whole body are in the fullest state of preparation to read and understand them, and to follow at the worst appeals of incendiary demagogues, in the worst spirit, and to the last results." To the best results, however, we hope. Not withstanding the alarm of Lord Wilton, and others of his class, to whom this language is addressed in Blackwood, the poor will be enlightened in spite of them. Events have roused the people from their apathy. They are now prepared ,for good counsel. The stream cannot be made to turn back. Let, then, those who wish to perpetuate the reign of de• lusion and imposture reconcile themselves with the new state of things ; for their resistance will be una rail ing.-11forning Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. A journeyman baker was charged by his master with having maliciously thrown a quantity of dough into the oven. It was stated to Alderman SCHOLEY, who has sat for some days for the Lord Mayor, that angry journeymen were very much in the habit of paying off old scores to their masters, in this manner. The complainant stated, that the defendant had the oven department wholly under his care, and that he was to quit the situation altogether in afew . days. Witness just got to the oven time enough to save small part of what he saw the defendant throw in along with the coals. A baker might be ruined without much delay by such a practice, as the mate rials were always at hand, and discovery was gene rally very difficult. He then produced what he had snatched from the oven, and said •he had no doubt the object of the defendant was to injure him. Alderman SCIIOLEY said if that were the object of the defendant, no punishment could be too rigorous for him. The defendant said the dough could never have been worked into bread, as it had fallen amongst po tato-peelings, aad he therefore cast it into the oven to. perish. The baker's apprentice said the dough had cer tainly fallen from him amongst the potato-peelings, and the defendant took it up, said it was not fit for use, as certainly was the case, and threw it into the oven. The baker said he could have derived a profit from it by selling it as raspinga. Mr. Hobler said it was well known that bakers used potatoes in making bread, and the mixture, in. stead of being injurious, was considered necessary. How then did it happen that the dough which had merely fallen amongst potato-peelings was thrown away. as useless P—This 'was rather a difficult' ques tion to be answered. The defendant merely said he meant no evil, but desired to put out of the way what could not be of any use. A strange baker then said, My Lord, it is an every-day occurrence to burn what is not fit for use. I always allow my men to do so, and this stuff could never have been made fi t for use. As for this piece, the complainant can still sell it as raspings." Alderman—l see what a nice sort of baker you are. This has been burned to a cinder, and ad vise him to sell it, although you say it could never have been made fit for use. Really you ought to be compelled to eat it. The complainant said that it was well known to the trade that a profitable use could be made of the dough even in the worst state. It was here stated that dough of the sort described was often made up for the use of the "'slap-bang shop," where it was used as a wrapper round fruits, and was called, 'when smoking hot, apple dumplings. Although it looked awkward in the making, it was really very nice after a few pennyworth of " kag mag."—(A laugh.) Alderman ScitoLEY . considered that the defendant had acted with great impropriety in destroying his master's property without asking his leave, but he was also of opinion, from the apprentice's evidence, that no malicious intention had been proved. The Bakers' Act, it appears, attaches a heavy penalty to theoffence with which the defendant was charged. A decent labouring man was charged with having left his wife to the protection of the parish. The defendant said his debt amounted to no more than one week's maintenance for his wife, and a severe injury he had received was the cause of that. He begged to assure the Alderman that he had been obliged to live separately from his wife, and thus contract a larger expense, because she re fused to do as the matrimonial law required---" love, honour, and obey him." The wife declared that she certainly loved him, but she did not altogether honour him, because he had turned her oat of doors to make room for an other woman. As for obedience, that was also out of the question, for if she obeyed him, she must clean his woman's shoes, and wait upon her at table. Tic huAgind said it was her own fault that she was not now with him, but her habits could not be borne by a poor man. The wife—llabits what habits ? The husband —Why, you knoW diet nobody can get you out of bed until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning; and as for breakfast, I have been always obliged to fag for it myself, When I came hUme from wolk. The wife- n -Well, it's all your own fauli. Why did you indulge me? If you had not indulged me, I would not have laid abed.—(A laugh.) The husband—Who'd think that you would con tinue to do so for three years ? The very d—l could not live with her, please your worship ; for if he did, he'd have to do every thing for her himself. • The wife—Why, my Lord, I am really unable now to do any thing at all; my eyes are bad. The husband—Your eyes! Why, my Lord, it was only a short time time ago she complained of her limbs being bad in the rheumatiz, and I took her to a doctor. " God bless ydu," says he to me, " there's nothing the matter with her but want of exercise." 7- (Laugh t er.) Alderman Settouv—lt is pretty evident that there are, as is generally the case, faults on both sides ; and nothing can justify the conduct of either, the woman for her laziness, or the man for living with another woman. The wife—Well, my Lord, I'll make all com fortable for him if he takes me home and sends awa y his unlawful comrade. kfemale voice in the crowd was here heard -4t Don't do no Bitch a thing, Jim. You'll have to wash your own linen as you did afore, if you do. The wife—There, my Lord, is the very unlaw ful body that's in my place. Alderman ScHOLUY despaired of accomplishing any thing by his recommendation, and he accord-, ingiy gave directions to the parish-officers not to allow the parish to be burdened with a woman when her husband had another in her place.
