SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, The 'Quarterly Review,' not at all dismayed to the consequences which eo soon followed the deter mination of the Bourbons to actin acc - ordance with the policy recommended by Captain ,Basil Hall, it their July number, in the number which appeared yesterday display the very same spirit, in What k called a Political History. of France since the Re volution," evidently the prOduction of the semi writer. The writer honestly avows that it would have afforded hiM great satisfaction had Charles tlo Tenth succeeded in establishing a despotism. " We certainly wished (be says) that in the struggle,. which we bad long foreseen, the immediate result' might be the establishment of something like despo tic power in the Throne of France; and we did at. because we considered a despotism, in the presew condition of the world, as likely to turn out a lease' evil hi that mighty country than the other alternme. tive. The past had satiefled_us that if Charles X. desired the iefluence of a Dictator, he was incapable of using that influence for any unpatriotic purpose; that no fretfulness of idle vanity, no fervour of sel fish ambition bad tormented his ' chair days ;' and that whatever extraordinary power he might obtain, would be held conscientiously, as his only, for at, extraordinary and temporary purpose—that of en deavouring to lay the foundations of a national aristocracy." Charles the Tenth appears quite a hero in the eyes of this worshipper of Aristocracy. " Of the transactions of last July, however (he Ob• agrees), we will say nothing, as they ,are too mein and too much enveloped in mystery, which time ;done can unravel, to form the subject of meetly contemplation. This alone seems certain, that the injury inflicted epee France by the weakness and indecision of Louis XVIII. was too great to be re paired by the firmness and resolution of Charles X. ; that the one found coecessions unavailing, the other found force insufficient." The principh which rues through this " P;Jiticul History ot . France since the Revolution" is, that the only legi timate object of u Goternment is to create and preserve a powerful Aristocracy, .and the various Ministries since the Restoration are praised or blamed in proportion as they pursued that object. A church richly endowed, as subsidiary to the main tenance of a rich Aristocracy i-, of course, also em object of the writer's admiration. The more im portant point—the happiness and prosperity of 30 mullions of Frenchmen, anti how far such lumpiness and prosperity are reconcileable with a rich and powerful Aristocracy and a richly endowed church— , is not deemed deserving of his notice. He admits that the country never was more prosperous than during the period when things were advancing to si crisis which justified the establishment of a de spotism :—" Beset as the exiled House was," he says, " from the hour of its restoration, with jea lousies bitterly conflicting, and 'perpetually threat ening an explosion, it will not, be denied thou France enjoyed tinder their rule fifteen years of greater pro sperity than hod ever before fuller, to her lot, Such is the fact, e ven their enemies themselves being judges;" never since the foundation of the monarchy were personal liberty end property so safe. . . . Excluding certain political evils from out view, Mot fine country presented, on the whole, a picture nj prosperity, which fixed the admiration of &rope." But if France, since the foundation of the Monarchy, never exhibited such a picture of prosperity, does not this almost amount to a demot titration, that France was not indebted for that pro sperity to the Bourbons, but to the circumstance-9 wherein, during those fifteee pours, she differed heist what she was durieg the rest of the Mo starchy ? During. the rest of the Monarchy she had a richly .endowed church and a rich Ariss tocraey ; and during the fifteen year , she hail a comparatively poor Aristocracy and a poor church ; and are we nut, therefore, lestrfied in inferring, it Was precisely because she had a poor Aristocracy and a poor Church she was so prosperous as to tit s , • Sleet the admiration of Europe, 110tWit114talltling she had also foolish Monarchs, who created constant jealousies and heartebitrnings . by their ineciesent cu deavours to bring about the stoe of things froth which the re-/elution bad , libranted her ? The Bourbons could not that • prevent e posptatty whie the institutions, growing out of the revolution, pro duced in spite of their endeavours. The country prospered beetles() they were impotent, " They . sew,".says the - Quarterly Reviewer, " that the fu lion (by troik, he memo all but. the Aristocracy), which had never ceased to leltsur fur the ruin of the Monarchy, were rapidly atteiniug the utmost height of. rebellious audacity—and tioit the only question wits, who should s•iike the first blow. They saw that to go on with the Cherter of Leal XVIII, as it stood, was inevitably to el t ipwreck the vessel of the State, and they thouebt, to give it a chanee by cutting away the mays. The evolution was not successful, and the Monarchy went down." llt is questionable bow fur it may be prudent to ae custom people to remelt phrases as Moimreby going down; for after the first; shock which such porten tons words are calculated to product:is over, men naturally ask themselves what the words really mean, and they find that the going dowse of a no . touchy is not such a had thing.. They see, not withstanding the going down of the Monarchy, thirty millions of people excitiog the ntleniretion and respect of Europe by their gallant bearing end their mrignenimity—they see them busied in im proving their laws and institutionie encouraging ethicetirm, removing the obstacles in the way Of industry-4mi theyy see a weak and priest ridden old man, WIIO could not enjoy in quiet the weal h which this people heaped upon him and his family; but would not persist in thwarting those to whose industry he was so deeply indebted, notwithstanding his crime, peaceably conducted out of the country he had outraged, and richly pensioned Truly there are worse things in the world; at this rate, than the going domed' a Monarchy. Brit then what 0 dreadful evil—the absence.of a rich ,Aristocracy. " By time Charter— the accursed Charter (he says)—alt laws previously passed by any legislat i ye assembly, from the beginning of the Revolution, and all decrees and ordonnunees whatever, were to continue its force until repealed; by which means all the revolutionary and republican doctrines which bad been brought 'forward and en foreed during these times of turmoil were main- Need, The most objectionable articles, however, Were those which +Street( at the great influence, not of the Nobility only, but of the Aristocracy. Under one, the power of: a father to ditipose of his pros petty was limited, not as with us, by entails, but by being compelled to divide his property equally among all his children, with this exception, that he may give to any one child a portion double what each of the other has.

Among the higher viesses the offeets have been still more injurious. There ap e peered, end necessarily must haee done so, an itfle end, pauper aristocracy, nearly dependent on the fa vours of the Crown for support ; the' yonnger branches possessing just enough to linger on in WO' inactivity=--looking to no profession but the army (from which even the existmgiews in a great mea sure exclude them); the heads of families, though comparatively in better circumstances, unable to lend, us in England, a helping hand to their, juniors; condemned to see their property melting away be fore their eyes—in a word, throwing themselves upon the King, to become, if successful, servile courtiers ; or, failing in their expectations, disare Pointed patriots." Nowihe writer had just told us, that by the universal confession of all, France ' on account of its prosperity," was the admiration of . ell Europe—that it never had, since the foundation of 'he Monarchy, enjoyed such prosperity as similes rho last fifteen years. If France was making rapid strides in prosperity generally, her agriculture must have improved also. If her agriculture is yet inferior to that of some other (menthes, this is not the consequence of the law of suc cession, because, under the , law of succession, the agriculture has been making rapid strides. The law of succession destroys no capital, - nor impairs its power, and it can have no effect upon cultivation, which will always he regu lated by tl,e capital at the command of the cold. eatorti The cultivators have more capital now, and a better stock than when a different law of succession prevailed. But the Aristocracy see their property melting away before their eyes, and cannot lend a helping hand to their juniors. Hew is this? If an English Aristocrat have a faMily, in what re spect does he differ from a French Aristocrat with a family? The estate must equally melt down if the younger children be provided for. But then if one son succeed to the whole, he can lend a helping hand to his juniors. How ? By obtaining places in Church and State for them—that is, by obtain ing for them the Nita of the people. Lending a helping band roust, if it mean any thing, mean the hestoseing his own property on them, or helping them to the property of others. The one, however, it; a pauper Aristocracy, and the other is a rich Aristocracy—the one throw themselves on the King, the other forces the King to throw himself on them. And how is this ? The pauper Aristocracy are pauper because the shore of public money they can obtain is small—the rich Aristocracy are rich be cause the share of public money they obtain is great. All men who obtain small sums of money by begging are contemptible,' as for instance, French Perre and English paupers; but rich insolent fellows, who plunder on a liberal scale, are respectable. What is wanted to make the French AriStocreey respect able is, that they should obtain so much from the Treasury as to enable them to preserve their own properties from melting down before their eyes. In this same number of the Quarterly Review we have tin article on the Decline of Science in England, which furnishes tut admirable illustration of the working of an aristocratical Government. " Of all the kingdoms of Europe (says the Reviewer) Pratte(' is undoubtedly the One in which the scientific establishments here been regulated by the most enlightened and liberal principles, and in which science is moat successfully .ctiltiented." For Scientific and Literary Establishments, 103,791/, is annually voted by the Government. " Nor," says the Reviewer, " in her generous care for the re eeectebility nod comfort of her scientific men, has France overlooked the most powerful stimulus of wok's and industry. All the Immure of the State have been thrown open to her philosophers and lite rary characters. The sage and the hero deliberate in the same Cabinet ; they are associated among the Privy Councillors of the King ; they sit together in her House of Peers, and in her Chamber of De puties; they bear the , same titles ; they are deco rated with the same orders, and the arm and the mind of the naiun are thus indissolubly united for its glOry, or for its defence." Let us turn to Aristo cratical, Oligarchical England. " While (says the Reviewer) the mere permission of animal courage (which, of course, a well-fed Aristocracy, in a tem perate country like this, can hardly fail to posses.), one of the most common qualities of the species, has been loaded with every, variety of honour, the pos. aessor of the highest emoluments of the mind; he whom the Almighty has chosen to, make known the law end mysteries of his works; he who has devoted his life, and sacrificed his health and the interests of his fatally, ie tin most profound and ennobling pure suite—is allowed to lire in poverty and ob.curity, arid to mink into the grave without one mink of the affection and, gratitude of his country. And why dote. England persecute the votaries of her science ? Why does she depress them. to the level of her hewers of wood and her drawers of .water ? It is because science rtters no courtier, mingles in no political strife, and brings up no reserve to the Minister, to swell his triumph or break his fell. She is persecuted because she is virtuous ; dishonoured becalms she is week." " Englad% liberality to, Newton," he elsewhere observes, "is the only striking instance which we have been able to record, because it is the only one in which the honour of a title was combined with an adequate pecuniary re ward," No, under an Aristocratical gnvernment, high-born dunces require too much cramming to leave anything for science. In o u r large navy Mi nisters could find no one to relieve poor Coding wood, who was obliged to remain at sets long after his health was shuttered. Whoever reads his life, will see what is motet by Parliamentary Influence, High as our taxation is—extensive as our foreign possessions are, and kept op at an enormous cost to the country.—all is too little to citable us to have the proud distinction of a rich and proud Aristocracy. Our army it composed of the very dregs of society, became, it is necessary that an impatseble gulph should exist between the soldiery and the officers. Our navy once allowed a certain range of promo tion to the sailors ; now the highest promotion is that of boatswain, Greedy, greedy Aristocrucy I A Whole nation must be degreded ter the sake of petn perieg you. Ever since the boretighemongering aristocratical system of Government commenced, whith was at the Revolution, Parliamentary Menu has of course obtained everything disposable. It is recorded of the celebrated Doctor Halley, that when consulted by Queen Caroline, Who , was a lover of goieitve, as to enlarging his salary as Aetroonmer. Royal, ho earnestly dissuaded her ; fur were it in. creased, he said, it would instantly be given to one of the Aristocracy. Nothing escapes them where money is to be had. It is gratifying, however, to perceive, that even in works patronised by the Aria tocracy, honourab!e• • and virtuous sentiments will sometimes find a place. lit no country have the at tempts to degrade and corruptto root out all generous and noble sentiments, been so aystemetie its in 'Ensiond; but still so difficult is it to Ore** the espwetions in well-constituted min& after a better state of things, that the euggeinions of pre deuce will .at times be disregarded. A man of talents, who lends: himettlf to:unworthy purposes, has his matnents of compunction. Whet 'a Country England would: be, were a course free-to honourable ambition mid endarian—und were not the trade of a parasite the only one which can thrive here I A/Mating Chronicle. The Parisian common people!--thu cleverest, as well as the most susceptible people in the world— have seen- through the humane hoax attempted to -be praittieed on their generosity to save the Ex-Mi. nistersfrom their vengeence, and thus deprive them of spectacle of a Ministerial execution.. I King, the Court (if.we can speak of the Court of a Citizen, King), the Cabinet, the Chambers, and the upper classes of society, appear anxious to save the culprits from the extreme rigour of the law, seeing in their apprehension a source of embarrassment, in their trial a case of difficulty, and in their certain condemnation a subject of regret. - They therefore took advantage of the proposition of M. tie Tracy proposition made two years ago without sue cess—it, introduce a resonation to abolish the pn nit,hrnritt of dotal lot political oiretie,et The 4 tettente was opportunely 4ntroduce4:and dexterously] pursued. Petitions were obtained from individuals who had been wounded by the orders of PoEpee in the glorious days of July, praying the Chamber to free the _penal code from articles which would affect the life of that guilty Minister; and General Lafayette made two or three speeches for the same purpose. Magistrates and military officers joined in the recommendation; and at la►t the King himself, on the address of the Chamber, has motioned, by the zealous concurrence of his opinion, the decision of the Chamber. Still neither the sanction of the King, the petitions of the wounded, the speeches of favourite orators, nor the unanimous' voice of the Deputies, has satisfied the people that any th;ng else was intended than a su►prise upon their feelings of Mercy. They exclaim, why change the law at this . particular moment, when a trial in which we are interested is about to commence ? if the law was bad, why was it not changed before, or why not wait to change it till a calmer moment for the discussion arrives ? If these men after being con demned are thought objects of mercy, let the Royal clemency be exercised for their pardon ; but do not vote their pardon beforehand by a kind of juggle on our feelings. To this reasoning there can scarcely be any reply which would not impeach the dispo sition of the populace for blood, or the weakness of the Government in exercising the prerogative of pardon.---Timer. The Provisional Government at Brussels shows a good deal of activity, but seems to make little pro gress in its labours. The Prince of Orange and his Belgic Council, at Antwerp, appear to be equally inefficient in their endeavours to restore order. De Potter's appeal to a National Congress, and his Commission to frame a constitution, were most happy expedients to maintain himself in power and to paralyse all efforts at conciliation till the Con• ' great; should meet and the constitution be proclaiMed. Meanwhile the Belgic members of the States-Ge ' nerul end the upper classes of Belgic society appear to remain inactive spectators of the distracted 'state of their country. They have shown no disposition to support the Provisional Government, and do riot seem to possess courage to join the Prince. The Dutch, on their part, if we may judge from pa pers and private letters, have become more at tached to their Government since its divorce from Belgium. The King's proclamation to his Dutch people, calling then) to arms, seems to have produced its effect. The towns of Mi lani! are obeying the summons with enthusi asm, and the students of the universities, with their professors at their " head, are organizing,+ themselves into volunteer, corps for, the support of their Sovereign, and the defence of their country. The standard of the House of Orange has never been raised over more ardent champions. The alleged ingratitude and causeless rebellion of their Belgic brethren have increased the loyalty and fired the patriotism of the northern provinces. Sinc e the formation of the united kingdom in 1815, if the Bel gians on one hand have complained that their inte rests were sacrificed to Holland, the Dutch , have felt that the favours of their Sovereign have been divided with their rivals. The King, in dismissing Van Maarten, in compliance with the petitions and remonstrances of the sow hern provinces, did an act which was fur from being agreeable to the Hol landers, to whom that Minister was rather an ob ject of affection than of terror. His Majesty, there fore, in order to preserve his popularity in Holland, which he now seems to look upon us the only sup port of his crown, has restored the Minister of Justice, whom he had dismissed _ but not dis graced. The only chance which the fa mily of Nassau now possesses of recovering their hold over the southern provinces, dr pends upon the conciliatory disposition of the Prince of Orange, and the returning good sense of the I3elgie people. The success of a war t o compel obedience would be extremely doubtful. Besides, if undertaken by the Prince with Dutch troops, it would instently become a war of region against nation, and not a contest between revolted subjects and their legitimate sovereign. As soon as negociation shall cease between the Prince and the Delgiuns r -as soon as the sword is drawit, and Dutch troops, as Dutch troops, invade the Belgic territoty, or point their caution against the towns of Belgium, —the claims of his Royal Highness are changed,— ' 1 he can no longer expect the willing obedience of the people,—ho has forfeited the advantage of fir. teen years of union,—he has reconverted himself into a foreign enemy, and can wily reign by the right of conquest over a people who, pointing to the ruins which he has made, may exclaim,— " Nemo sic vaarat sits Qum corripi ikui, rime meti gladio jubes, Aliens eredis." • But, without foreign aid, such a result--lamentable at best—would be impossible. Hence we are told of the interference of the parties to the treaty of London ; and one morning paper of yesterday had actually introduced a whole army of Pros. shins to attack I.3rtwiels by three different routes. It was rather surprising that nobody bad ever heard of this clandestine movement till the Dews reached London ; and it was hardly fair in his s oda,' Majesty thus to hoodwink his allies in tryin to steal a march on Do Porter and Co. -All Etriop9 ought to have been apprised of the intended fitly siun; arid the new levreA of France should have got a little time to prepare their uniforms, and to go through t:teir first exercises. But, jestirg apart, we may s.tfely say, that no ground exists at present for such an apprehension of war. The Prussian Go. , vernment is fully aware of the disposition of France to prevent interference on the part of other Powers, as the caadition and consequence of a system of self. denial which she imposes on herself. Nothing can be more satisfactory or tranquillizing than the uniform declarations of the Ministry, . of the Chambers, and of the Preys of France, against any design or desire of intervention on their part ; and we rely on the good sense and avowed principles of other Govern ments to give France no pretext for departing from , her prudent and sincere engagements.—Tiores. "It is reported," says contemporary," that Sit James Scarlett will be raised to the Benelf previ' ously to the meeting of Parliament." We do tto believe any, such thing. To say nothing of the of popularity of such a step to an Adtninistration no already overbounding in thcopposite commodity; there is, in fact, no plieial oflice , vacant which. an Attorney-General is la the habit of taking. But a stronger proof that the Learned Gentleman himself has no such expectation, arises from the fact, that ho last week stood a contest for the Recordership of Guildford, in which, to be sure, he was defeaed, there being for the successful catididate, George Chapple Norton, Esq., 10;, for Sir Jam e* & ill i cit , 16. This, though nothing more than a struggle between conflicting interests in a borough, will be taken by some as ominous of the want of that com modity in certain quarters to which we have above alluded. Why does the Duke of Wellington allow his subalterns to carry on these little unsticeessftil contests of their own, in which the credit of his AdMinistration is compromised without, as in this case, the slightest countervailing advantage ? Morning Herald. • The state and condition of the civilized world is now, a subject of anxiety to every well-wisher of the happiness of .his species. The second Revolution in Frence--the state of Belgium—the various corn nutnicetions we have received from Italy, Spain, and Portvgal—all tend to prove that an important crisis near, and one which ought not to he neg lected by the friends of the lib er t y o f the people.— French have established a principle which must be admitted by all Governments—that the sovereignty of the people is the only established and legitimate foundation of power ' end they have proved that Kings are mad e for the people, and not people for the Kings. What effect thi* will have upon the world it is impossible to determine. But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that it has done more to accelerate the march of public opinion than an y event which hits occurred since the breaking out o f titelormer revolution. King*, Princes, and ab solute rulers, have been taught that, the people are the " all in all" of modern governments; and if the revolution had taught no other fact than the sove reignty of the people, it has done much to establish the principle, that Government exists only as the means of securing and establishing their happiness. —Morning Advertiser. The meeting of Parliament is now anticipated with intense anxiety. All are looking forward to the measures which will then be propounded, and desirous to ascertain what steps will be adopted by Ministers to meet the state and condition of the people. Will the Military Premier himself take a lesson from the Opposition, and turn - radical re former? Will he reduce taxation ? Will he abolish useless places and pensions ? Will he reduce the enormous salaries of public men, and begin with himself? Will be, to satisfy the 'urgent claims of Birmingham, Manchester, and other towns, give them Representatives? If he does any or all of these things, he will do something to ensure his continuance in office, and to enhance the stability of his administration. But he must do mote if he wishes to add to his fame, and to obtain the just esteem and support of an enlightened people. Abuses lie thick around him; every department of the State needs reformation, and every thing belonging to the management and collection of our Revenue requires inspection and pruning. But in addition to these sub jects of domestic policy there are many of paramount impm (mice, which may be classed under the head of fo reign affairs. Ac far as the Continent of Europe is concerned, we think the policy of our country is to maintain a strict neutrality. Against all interference with France or Belgium we most loudly protest. The day is past when the practice and principles of the Holy Alliance could safely be acted upon. We think, however, Ministers will be justified and sup ported in a crusade against slavery, and the con tinuance of the East India Company's monopoly. The former is so abhorrent to the feelings of a free born Englishman, that we wonder at its toleration and continuance; and the latter trenches so much upon his personal comforts, that we are surprised at the apathy with which it has been endured. We do, however, trust, that the next Session will not pass over without measures being taken to abolish both for ever. The people ought to know, and to feel, their strength. Government is what they will it to be : if they determine upon a thorough refor mation in Church and State--if they unceasingly demand the execution of such measures as shall tend to diminish their burdens, increase their trade, and add to the sum of collective and individual hap piness—no Minister cart--no Minister will—dare to withstand their petit ions.-21/Orning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Molds was charged by Mr. Fres hfield, the solicitor to the Bank, with having uttered a forged East India Company's warrant for 6141., with in tent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Mr. Evans, a clerk in the But4k, stated that the prisoner presented, on Friday last, between nine and ten o'clock, a 'warrant for 6141. The document purported to he signed by Mr. Mite)! and Mr. Lloyd, and to be endorsed by Mr. Mortimer. Wit ness knew, upon examining the warrant, that it was not genuine. The prisoner, upon finding that the fraud was detected, declared that he should be ruined if any noise were made about the transaction. Mr. Mortimer stated that his signature was forged upon the document, and that he believed Aatell'a and Mr. Lloyd's signatures were also forged. The forgery of Mr. Aatell's name was a very close one. The prisoner was an extra clerk in the East India House. - LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to say any thing have nothing, to say.—Committed. BOW-STREET. An elderly respectable-looking man, named Jen kins, was brought in custody to this office on Mon day last, by Gardner the officer, and charged befOre Mr. HALLS with being an accessory after the fact to the robbery of the • Witham Bank. The party charged as the principal is a young lad, who is son 'of the prisoner, and who has yet managed to elude detection. The sum of money-with which he hint absconded amounts, it is said, to upwards of 2,000/. The prisoner, when brought before the Magis, trate, underwent an examination in private, and none of the evidence produced was allowed to tran spire. The result, however, was, that the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 250/. each. Notice of hull having been served upon the 'solicitor 'for the prosecution, that gentleman, who was accompanied by Mr. 'Wooler, appeared before the Magistrate on Tuesday evening, but some delay having occurred with respect to the bail, Mr. Henson, the prisoner's silicitor consented that his client should remain in custody Of an officer, rather than be sent to prison, until the necessary preliminaries shall be arranged.

MARLBOROUGH.STItEET. lion. J. J. Perry, the eldest son of Glentworth, and grandson of the Ear) of Limerick,: a young gentleman apparently sauna eighteen years of age, came to this office yesterday, and applied to' Mr. ltoß, .the sitting magistrate, for a warrant to apprehend a Captain Edward. Porter, who has been repeatedly at this office under various circumstances,. on the following charge. • Mr. Perry stated, that he had accidentally beconie acquainted with Captain Foster, and supposing him to be a person of respectability, there arose some ,degree of intimacy between them. A few days ago Ithe servant of Captain Foster called on him (Mr. 'Perry), with his master's compliments, anti requested the use of his (Mr. Perry's) horse and stanhope for that day, - as the Captain wished to go a short distance into the suburbs of the town to visit a friend. Never dreaMing that there was any risk in complying with the request, and not being disposed to refuse a gentleman with whom be was at all ac- quitinted, he let Captain Foster Have the horse and stanhope. In the course of the same evening Cap tain Foster waited upon him, and to hisgreat sur prise and regret told him that he (Captain Foster) had met with a most serious accident with the stun hope, by the horse taking fright end that be (Cap tain Foster) had been thrown out, and the vehicle itself smashed to pieces, but that fortunately the ,horse, which he returned safe, had met with ,no in jury. Not doubting for a moment, Mr. Petry .said, that this statement was true, he expressed his sot 'row- for the accident, and his happiness thit the Captain had escaped unhurt, and Captain Foster said that it was rather unfortunate that the thing }boat have occurred, but he was determined that Mr. Perry should sustain no loss, as : be would make good the damage, or rather would proyide a iubsti, trite vehicle, and at the mine time he requested hem Mr. Perry a Written permission AO dispose of the apposed broken vehicle, and ,to make, the most of it, as he said he knew how to do so to the best ad- Vantage. Mr. Perry accordingly gave the written permission, but from that time since he had seen i ttl f i r i o ug m frr y a t c h e e id C w a it p t i a li i i r v i t:p a g ot h l o l p ie pon le s a d ri t ie joci d ttnoclitstlei t ltinrle h igi. a et : oitteaarh s sende o e..., h o pe , t ho whole repreaentation was a fulsehood, and octet, in fact, Captain Foster had 'sold the stanhope almost immediately it-came into ' his hands, to a Mr. adr i rn i ra j e c i,p h .uh e d a te ::k tsfi , o, ettialigsnch:ototealfe:lhbry-ortaigi:atealklieniarissltii and was hww t e l a : e ips 14 ‘ )ero V ntcyt e ki s tep t i te m r.sd grounds Mr. Perry submitted that he had been de fraud.

MARYLEBONE. Yesterday morning, two young gentlemen, M. Fitzgerald and David Fitzgerald, of No. 3, Devon• shire-terrace, New-road, said to be the sons of the Knight of Kerry, came forward to substantiate a charge of assault against Mr. George Rossiter, hackney-coach proprietor, in Blandford-mews. Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald stated, that between nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night, he sat down upon the step of a door in Wyndham-place, Bryanstoe square, and smoked a cigar The defendant went by, and after he , had gone a short distance he came back, and accused him of kicking him as he passed. The complainant denied it, an altercation ensued, and the defendant called him a liar, and shook him by his collar, and he was given into the charge of a policeman. Mr. David Fitzgerald - was with his brother at the time, and ha declared that the pavement on the spot was so wide as, notwithstanding his brother's posi tion, to allow a person to pass freely, and the de fendant did pass without obstruction. Stephen Buck, a constable, No. 43, of the polies• division D, was ordered by Mr. M. Fitzgerald to take the defendant into custody, and the t wogentic men followed him to 'the watch-house, and entered the charge. Mr. Rossiter made several efforts before to speak, and now being told it was his turn—" I ought tc, .have given the charge, your Worship," said be, " and not this young man. Who the devil could expect to Mid him with his legs across the pave ment ? I turned the corner quick from St. Maq's church, and fell over them, and when I turned round, I found him smoking upon the door step, and I said, I beg pardon, Sir, do you belong to this house ?' and he was impertinent, and, as hr. says, I did threaten to kick him." Mr. HOsKINS inquired of the defendant if he did fall over his legs ? Mr. Rossiter—l did, Sir, and I might have broke my neck. Mr. HOSKINS (to Mr. DAvid Fitzgerald)—Did you see him fall ? Mr. D. Fitzgerald-.—No, Sir, he did not fall, nor did my brothel's legs touch him as he passed; they were as far from him a* my hand it from this book (about six inches.) Mr. Itos‘iter—Thatim a -- Mr. Iloama—You must be temperate here, Sir. Mr. Hoskins told Mr. M. Fitzgerald he thought it a pity so much had been made of the circum.tance. He was bound to say he considered him the flits! wrong-doer, for nothing could justify his sittinl upon the step of a door, with his legs stretched over the pavement; and many persons had kern fined and ptinished at this office for putting less trireme. , tions in the way of passengers, Mr. B r ossiter had acted very improperly in laying hinds upon his per son, and he would hold him to bail in his own re cognizance, that he, Mr. Fitzgerald, might, if he pleased, prosecute him at the Sessions. The two Fazgeralds were dissatisfied, and wanted Mr. Hoskins to dispose of the case, by inflicting fine on the defendant, Mr. HOSKINS said he would not do so : th e l aw had given him' an alternative, 14nd in this ease he saw it proper to use it. Mr..Rossiter. became very violent. " me," said he, "if put up with it. I pay it large rate for rving the Street, and then don't dare walk along them for young chaps like these ' who pay n o thin g ." Mr. UOSKINS called him b ac k, and because of hie intemperance he required him to give security, in two sureties of 201. each, to keep the peace. L A MIETH.STREET. Yesterday an - inhabitant of Limehouse named Clark' was charged 'with being : drunk and disorderly the preceding evening, along with three other per sons. When asked by the Magistrate what- he had to say, he declared that the policemen had behaved most brutally, and had struck him with their stavei in such a manner, that had he not been rescued by his three friend. he should prob a bly h ave b ee n killed. He also 'd :, 'declared he had given the police no :provocation. To disprove this statement police constable 110 IC said he was. on ditty 'in Lime house' and bet ween one and two o'clock , the pri soner Clark, accompanied with 'three other person , , were coming along singing and making a great di.- turbance, and when requested civilly to desist, na! content with using ill language, they seized. hold uF him and pulled : the cape of his coat over his eyes. 1 - le was then compelled to call for assistance, or they would have ,very much ill -:rented him, and they were taken to the station-house. Inspector Dutton said, the prisoner and his three companions were in a state of intoxication, but as he knew Ni hem to be respectable persons, he did not wish to detain them, bad they not made a charge against the policemen, which he wished to have investi gated before a Magistrate. Messrs. WALKER and WYATT said they considered the police had acted.very properly, except in the using their staves so much r and as the prisoner had suffered a slight punishment in being lucked up ull 'night, they should discharge him. I . PIAI4ES POLICE. ,Yesterday Captain Aaron Smith, master of the brig Baer, now lying in St. Katliarine't Dock, re cently arrived from Batavia and Sincapore, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINIC, the sitting Ma gistrate, charged with assaulting William Milbburo, thesecond mate. There ivms also a second wartant granted against him, for assaulting William Napier, a seaman of the vessel, and eight others of the crew, whn attended to prefer charges against the defend ant, for feged ill-treatment d ur i ng t h e voyage . Captain Smith is the individual wbo a few years since was tried at the Admiralty Sessions on a charge of piracy, but acquitted, owing to his havi ng pleaded' that he Was compelled t o join the pirates, and remain with them to save his own life. Milbourn tirit preferred his complaint, and stated that he went out as chief mate, but was afterwards reduced to second mate. On the 6th of March he was standing at helm, when the Captain called out ." Mind your helm!" He replied, " Hoy-no, Sir, all's right." Soon afterwards the vessel went out of her course about three-quarters of a point, when the Captain again called our, and he made the same reply. Directly afterwards the Captain came on , deck fn a greet passi on , an d accuse d hi m of repeatedly letting the ship gO out of its course. Witness, in reply, said, " If you say that you'll swear my life away." The defendant itr.mediately sprung forward, struck him several times, tore his shirt, and kicked him forward with great violence. Mr. BALLANTINE .asked the complainant how he came to let the ship out of ha course. It was a very lubbcrly act ?.--.The witness said, although the wea ther was c.ilm, it .was quite unavoidable. It WAS al ways remarked in the ship by the crew that he steered very steady. He was not aware of the offence he'had committed to be broke to the rank of second mate, but Captain Smith was a very pas sionate man, and continually finding fault. Mr. BALLANTINE, without . calling on the de fendant for a reply, said the complaitisatt had be hued with great insolence to Captain Smith, in telling him that he ,(the defendant) would swear his life away. It was an observation which ought not to be addressed by any sailor to his commander, and lie should dismiss the chnige, leav;ng the coM plainant to his remedy at the sessions.. William Napier then preferred his compl.tint, and stated that on the 11th of November, 1829, the Captain found fault with b;m about sotto work he was doing at he time. He was ordered .to go for... ward for a scrubbittg.brualt to scrub the ship's side, and was. returning, whewthe defendsuti 'Without stlY provocation, struck hint le severe blow on the new, r which caused it to bleed profusely.; he followed u P ' the attack by other blows with - clenched 14t, which blackened one of his eyes. He then started him with a rope's-end, and . give•him several tuts with it. Captain Smith said, his recolleCtion of this "affair was not very perfect, but he punished Napier with a rope, with which be only gave him a few striper, for having, with several others, stolen a loaf of bread, and drank a gallon of beer out of* cask; he did not strike him with his fist at all. The complainant said he was not concerned in drink- ing the beer, nor did he steal the bread. The tap thaeinnist-i r i i.l e ii p tni e A a Li t yl e i, d tAh l N y Tt ii) sf rx u t c ,sp k aei.d him It ,vwith;s nothis t ci te s t 0n l beforeonly ott n: sion he had been ill-used during the voyage. that Captain Smith should li l e l3‘ % .as go ra t tl i ' r e tt r o ni a r n P o rtil'ieedt scrape, after the experience he had met with. It was rather too summary a m ode of diwipline which he had adopted, even supposing the defence set LIP was correct; but the Admiralty Sessions were two a. hand, and he should not hold the defendant to hail, as the complainant could go before the Grand Jury, and indict him, if he thought proper. Another sailor pressed forward to make a coni• plaint, end the officers said there were several others outside the office, waiting to charge the defendant ‘eittt assaulting them. Mr. 11ALLANTINE said,' he 'should not interfere, os all he could do, if the case were clearly mails sth out, would be to hold Captain Smith t o bail; and e Admiralty Sessions would he held on the 2ith in. atom, the sailors could *fien d, mill indict the !le fylidani, if they thought proper.
