SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have only room to point attention to the events whieh ltave taken place at Hesse Cassel, as detteribed in the German Papers. Ilk Flig6,seete Who still retains his title of Elector or Germany, though there is no German Emperor to be elected, has been brought, like his ci-deeani brother Elector, the King of Saxony, and his neighbour the Duke of 13runswiek, to attend a little to the wishes of his people. The example of these civic risings is likely to become contagious. It may take the round of Germany and pass into Italy, notwithstanding the rigour of the Austrian quarantine against the pesti lenee of political change.—Times. It is plain that neither my Lord of Exeter, nor that ultra-Solomon who rejoices in the name of Newcastle,---it is, we say, quite - apparent that neither of cheae accomplished men takes much trouble about modern literature, even that least eh ionise and most convertible of all reading, the poli tical Occurrences of the day. From their own acts, indeed, it is, that we infer the contraction of their studies. The Noble Lords may have forgotten, which would not be criminal,—or they may never have heard, which would not be at all surprising,— that snit a thing as a great revolution had taken place in France about 40 years ago. It is an event which belongs to ancient history, and therefore we do acknowledge that it might be considered by the Duke of Newcastle a fit subject for pe dants to write themes upon, or for philoso• abstracted from the living world, to revolve; but for a Duke—and a modern man of business, and a capitalist its constitution•property, who buys and sells, both wholesale awl retail, as well whole boroughs as those fractional parts of them called " electors"—for such a personage'to spend his time in poring over the annals of a defunct generation, would be exceedingly preposterous and unprofitable —preposterous in the eyes of others, and bootless to the Noble Duke himself. There has, nevertheless, been a second revolution in the country, to which We have been referring, and that the Duke of New castle and Lord Exeter, or either of them, should not have heard or dreamed of it, appears to us not ittle remarkable. The revolution was accomplished jest five days after it had been richly provoked. Is was effected by the people of France, without the aid of any aristocracy, and in a spirit, and followed up by measures, which resider it infinitely probable that there will be no aristocracy in France for per- Imps half a century to come. Now if the Noble Duke will withdraw himself so far from affairs of higher moment, as to ask some one of his gossips touching this last-mentioned French revolution and its causes, the gossip will be likely to answer that it was a revolution provoked and I r nsgltt about by mere abuse of power. If any one had had the honesty to remonstrate with Charles X., and to tell him of the gross iniquity, the outrageous oppression, the revolting folly as regarded himself, and the heartless cruelty in relation to others, of the ordinances of July 25, and then to ask him what could induce his Majesty so to break faith with Isis subject-, and so to endanger his throne and its sums-btu in his fa mily, we .apprehstul that Charles, from the extreme weakness and other deplorable qualities of his head and heart, would have answered in these words— " flare not I a right to do what I please with my own prvcrly?!" It is quite certain that Charles X. looked upon his people es a species of property which he might torment or trample on as he thought fit, and also on the prerogatives granted him by the Constitution as another species of property, which he might make his instrument of castigation upon the people, as it liked him. Now let us ask the Lords Newcastle and Exeter—do they understand this matter ? Do they see what it was that brought about this mighty French revolution of July, 1830 ? Wee it not the perversion of " property" to ends destructive of those for which it had beets given ? And yet these foolish noblemen—kings, as they no doubt fancy therneelves, each in his little realm— these foolish lords, with the newspapers of the last two months before their eyes, are just copying 'wi►h more than Chinese exactness, the scheme which drove Charles from his throne, and in stigating the parties aggrieved by their barba rity, to inflict on them the fate of that now me morable despot, or of his congenial adviser. These two borough-anointed Peers, when they expel honest men from their habitations for exercising n conathutional right in u manner aproved by the constitution ; and actually turn the e lectors into the highways, for daring to choose as Members of Par liament, those whom they . judge most capable of fully discharging their thittei;—these two Peers, we ray, have perpetrated a coup &clot against the people of England, which they, the people,a quick sighted and resolute people, may be apt to repay in ' coin not hitherto current among members of the Aristocracy. A better case for Pailiamentary re form could never be imagined by the most sanguine mind than this which the newspapers of the last few days have announced to us,—viz., the serving of notices to quit by the respective agents of the Duke of Newcastle and of Lord Exeter, on such tenants of their several estates as had at the left election voted against the creatures set up for can didates at Newark and Stamford by the said.ttoble men, and this avowedly as a punishment for such disposition of the votes of the parties so persecuted. The Duke of Neweastiew famous answer 16 it re proaeh upon the subject we have already noticed-- " Might he not do what he pleased with his own property ?" " No, my Lord Duke," we re j o i n you must use your property, and no t a b use You may eject a tenant fur a.breach of any cove nant expressed in the lease which hinds him; h t it not for doing what his lease does not forbid." It is a case,' we trust ,' in whieh - the letter of the law will ere eng be explained by the spirit of the con sti tut ion.— Timm Something, bearing very much the character of " the puff preliminary," is going the round of the _Press,; stating that Sir Robert Peel is " wanted" as representative for Liverpool, but that the reasons which induced. Mr. Canning to resign the seat (viz, the incompatibility of official duties and those ema nating from so large n body of electors) are likely to operate against the Right lion. Baronet being inducedto comply with the request. From all that we eon gather from persoos best acquainted with Liverpool, We very much doubt whether such is the wish of any great proportion of its constituency, The people of Liverpool, who know as well as nq people in the world " a hawk from a handsaw," are, of course, not insensible to the advantages of lavi„ff " friend at Court,'" in the person of one of' the King's Ministers, for their representative ; yet it fines not follow t hnt What • may be very convenient for,the people of Liverpool may not he quite other. wise for the country at large. And the truth we believe in this,case to be so; and that, though Mr. Canning fortunately had at hand a plausible reason for abandoning therepresentation of Liverpool when he became a Minister, we have no doubt but that his true reason was the incompatibility of local in totem s where it is a man's duty to look to general . 0 055. In fact, it is most deairable that is Minister of any Country, but more especially the Minister of a great commercial country, should be unshackled with local claims and partial interests. .No man; has been,a Minister without having found how diffis cult it is to possess this exemption, even without embarrassments of his: own seeking; and that, thereforejo silt! to them willingly and kn owin g ly is indiscreet and footkl, the highest dg ltg h O w O h t . !legi i#E i i n to t 4 l e to rt tii , t e tt e tt i e ri ings, reasons e st east to be this iireuv.449 for Liverpoo, any that may apply t o the tti g h t t o personal qualification for ..the oniee, At the s3sttnu rimbe, e there. can we : s h oul d no ditystulty .upon the subject; but that the taw) of - Liver P o o t :whoa& rare good fortune it hew to _ been haute --tort); at once as Infellectindly as commercially prosperousi can have no difficulty in selecting from among ita own Impulation a person possessing at once the local knowledge, and the talent, character, • anti weight, which its representation naturally calls for, and ought to possess.--Morning Herald. It is admitted, We believe, on all hands, that the slate of educatian in England is worse than in almost any country of Europe, though great diversity of.opittion may prevail as to the cause of so singular a phenomenon in civilization, as a nation distin guished for proficiency in the arts of production, and int Efferent to what elevates man us a moral being. We have been led to this subject by the late speech of Mr. Brougham, at Leeds, on the sub. pet of education, and several allusions its various quarters to the superior education of the middle classes of France compared with our own. At the Bristol meeting, in honour of the Parisians, Mat hew Bridges, Esq., observed— " The late events in France have sounded the trumpet of alarm as the note of approaching changes. They will be heard of, and admired. and wondered at amongst all civilized nations from shore to shore—from the rising up of the sun to the going down of the same—from the rivers to the ends of the earth. The remarkable means, more over, which have been the instruments in the hands of Providence fur effecting the late changes, ought not to be forgotten. I resp e ctf u lly maintain that the most effective of these secondary causes has been the wide diffusion of knowledge among the middling classes of society in France It is surely unnece , sary to trouble you, Sir, with proofs anti illustrations on this point; and 1 will then cotne fairly to the conclusion that what has answered so well on the Continent would also succeed in this favoured island.— F.:titivation in England, or at least the higher brandies of it, seems hitherto. to have been mainly offered to the two extremes of society—the man of o;ailence and the artisan; the Peer and the Peasant. But why should not the vast interval of these be equally cultivated and cherished ? •The middle classes, with all their worth, and acuteness, end re spectaltility, and collective wealth and numltesa, have still, think, one grand desideratum ; and that desideratum is the great advantage of cheap and easy access to the supe tMr departments of science and learning. Let the benefits, thee, of such instruction, bent tits which have lately been so apparent abroad, he enjoyed at honw, anti he diffused throughout every great town and city in the kingdom." The Scotsman, of Saturday last, in noticing the opening of the Edinburgh school of Arts, has the following observations:-- " The charge is so small that there are few apprentices, anti no journeymen or clerks, who may not find means, by eur'ailing what they spend upon indulgences either useless or hurtful, to avail themselves of its benefits. At present there are three elasses—for Chemistry, for Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, and for Ethics and Political Eco nomy. A young lad who attends these classes, anti devotes himself with ordinary zeal to the subjects discussed, is in point of . fact better educated, better informed, and in the eye of reason a snore respectable man than the nobleman's son, who, having mated ten years upon the dassitaa leaves the school and comes into the world without one useful idea in his head. It is gratifying, indeed, to our national pride, to reflect on the different success of this Seminary anti of the London University. No sooner was the School of Arts established titan the working claws of this city showed the utmost eagerness to embrace the advantages it presented, and the amount of valuable instruction which it has dispensed, is seen already in the improved habits and increased intelligence of our artizaus. What has beset the fate of the London University, winch should have done for the middle classes of the metropolis what the School of Arts has done for the mechanics of Edinburgh ? It has literally met with no support at all ; for the attendance given at the medical classes fur professional purposes, is only what the Profes sors would have obtained as private lecturers. The chat tering Cockneys, when they have manes in their purses, anti wine on their tables, find all their wants satisfied, anal are content to he as ignorant as Hottentots. Their exces sive self-conceit prevents them from seeing their deficien cies; they either consider learniug., as sures/Nous, since they find they can make money without it, or they look ilium it WI a thing of mere show, a sort of fashionable ad. joiset of gentientanship; and hence the absolute uselessness of Greek and Latin is in their eyes a vast recommeudation. Thirty pounds per annum is thought a very deur price to pay for a knowledge of the wontlets of modern science, while three bunched pounds are cheerfully given Mr the autiquated classical lumber of Oxford ! Sods is John Bull in the nineteenth century!" The middle classes cf London are somewhat like ' the Ilead of Louvain University, described by Gold. smith. Greek had never beets taught under any of his predecessors, and he did not, therefore, see the use of Greek. The sort of edtteation given to the Arktocraey naturally determines the education given to all who look up to the Aristocracy. If the seats of learning at wh'eh the Aristocracy are edu- dated arc not calculated to form valuable members of society, we can hardly expect to find the other schools established on a better principle. The dais of teachers will naturally acquire, not what they themst IVO R might hold in the highest esteem, but what they can turn to the most profitable account; and' persons anxious that their children should one day appear to advantage in society, will endeavour to procure for them the instruction which is given to those who ore at the' head of society. It may safely be said of the higher ranks of this country, that they leaVe the University utterly destitute. of any one branch of Knowledge of the slightest use to them in after life. An acquaintance with two dent! languagei, admitting that in the acquisition of them some know ledge is obtained of ()reek mid Roman society, must be a very poor preparation for an active life.— Yet a smattering of Greek and Latin is, in nineteen cases out of twenty, all that a gentleman curries with him into the House of Commons. The edu cation of a gentleman in England commences after he has quitted the University ; unfortunately the of life seldom allows hitt . ) to acquire .what clemniat serious application. In the account of the trial of De Potter, to which we yesterday alluded, we find that distinguished individual, in a letter to his friend Tielmuns, refining to become a Member of the States-General, from a consciousness of his not possessing the requisite knowitAge .fell too - great an Anxiety," he say's, to fulfil my ditties, to let any one impose upon me those which I ant incapable of performing. -My friend,- the education that has been. givers to 1143618 ; 1 was taught Lain, Griek, and Roman History, and Mythology. The edu cation I gave myself consisted of our studies in Greek, Ecclesiastical History, end Canon Law, all which is use, less with reference to what we are speaking of. Of Pa. litical Economy, Law, Administration, Finance, Corn. meree, not a word do I know. I hope, my dear Tielmans, that these six lines are enough for any reasonable man, under the circumstances, to save me from the reproach of indifference in all public affrirs, and the general good. It is not my fitult, if I ant wholly unable to pay my entire debt to my country ; it shall make part of the inheritance of Agathon (his son), who will pay it along with his own.", Compered with the great mass of British Legit], !atoll, De Potter would have at least this superiority —that be is sensible of his deficiency; but they have yet to learn that a Legislator needs any other qualification than a pecuniary one. A reform in the representation, with many other important cense- ()notices, will necessarily improve the qualification of Members of Parliament. At present they are the judges of the trolilie.itions they ought to possess, end it is net surprising that they should be very &Agent judges. When there is a real competition, the candidate will be subjected to a severe test; and the improvement of the rich will act bene ficially the middle classes, now so much behind the moue classes in Prenee. We are inclined to believe, from all the inquiries we have made into the subject, that the education of English gentlemen about the period of the civil war was much better. than it is in the present day. Frivolity' seems to have been constantly gaining on us during the last Century. Symptoms of imprOvernent are, however, Idiscernible, we think, in the young men of the presetdday ; and the middle classes of the metropo-' lis, spoken so contemptuously of by our northern con temporary, will follow,the fashion.—Morn.Chrons Yesterday, et one o'clock, the Right Hon. the Lours Maxon, attended by a numerous wrive of the Aldermen and Connell, proceede I in state to Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing in the Sheriff* elect, Cuarmaw lifanstram, and W. PoLtann, Ewa. The state cha riots and liveries of the new Sheriffs vied with tech other in splendour and magnificence. The Hon. Gentlemen were most respectfully welcomed by a numerous emerald ige of spectators, and &dun. presenting themselves to the ball, afwr tiling sworn in, were warmly greeted with the plaudits of the company—an honour which they acknovr lettpd by repeated bows. CLAPHAM PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday a Petty Session was held at Clapham, at which .1011 N RAVENIIILL and THOMAS . PUCKLE, Esqrs., the Magistrates, presided, and were occupied for some time in investigating a charge of a high way robbery by Bavarian broom-girls. . • Peter 6chmidt, Hannah Schl►lidt (a man), Cathe rine Schmidt, Maria Schmidt, and Catherina man, who obtain their living by hawking brooms about the country with the cry of " Buy a broom," were brOught up charged with having violently as saulted and robbed Joseph Norris, a gardener, on the Wandsworth-road, on Thursday night last. Norris stated that he was a labouring gardener, and lived near the Antelope Inn, at Wandsworth, On Thursday night last, about twelve o'clock, he was going home along the Wandsworth-road, near Lavender-sweep (a turning leading to Clapham), when three broom-girls passed him in brown dresses, such as they usually wear, but the night was so dark he could not discern their features, but they appeared to have white handkerchiefs bound over their heads. He (witness) was going. towards Wandsworth, and the girls towards town. After they had passed about ten yards, he turned his head and saw they were stopping. lle had not pro ceeded misty paces farther, when he observed the prisoner, Peter Schmidt, dressed in a blue smocks frock, standing with his back against a tree, and the other prisoner, Hannah Schmidt, stooping be hind : just as he passed them, Peter Schmidt came behind him, and placing his band on his shoulder, said, " Ilalloo, how much money have you got atom you ?" The prisoner had a foreign accent. • Witness said he had none. He then usked if he had a watch in his pocket ? be answered in the ne gative, upon which the prisoner felt his trousers, at the same time saying it was not likely a young man like him should be without money or watch: lie ihen seized him by the collar, and called the other prisoner, Hannah Schmidt, who came up from be hind the tree, but before he came up the other pri soner had knocked.him down, and had placed his hand over his mouth to prevent him calling for as sistance. Witness begged for mercy, and said, " For God's sake don't ill-use me, and I'll give you all I have." Upon this assurance he allowed him to rise, and he then turned his pockets inside out,' and witness gave him 4s. 6d., all the money he had. At this moment the three broom girls came up, and stood near whilst the prisoner Peter Schmidt robbed him. They then desired him to • make the best of his way home, and swore if lie made any alarm they would knock his brains out At some distance, lie came up with two policemen, and he gave infortnu don to them of the robbery, and a description of their persons. He (witness) was quite positive as to the identity of the prisoners, and they all joined after the robbery and proceeded towards London. Magistrate—Dirt they use any further violence towards you than you have already described ? Norris—They threatened to murder •me if I made any alarm, mid when 1 was knocked down my head was much bruised by the fall. Magistrate—Are you positive the three broom girls were in their society ? Norris—l am quite sure they were all together. Cornelius Casey, a policeman, division V. No. 71, stated that on Thusday night last, about eleven o'clock, he saw all the prisoners pass through the town of Wandsworth ; they were going towards London. The prosecutor met him , and told him of the robbery, and he and ano►her constable pursued the prisoners as far us Vauxhall turnpike, but could not overtake them. Ile gave information to some • policemen of the L division , who subsequently took the prisoners into custody. Witness is certain he saw them pass through Wandsworth. Thomas Cooke, policeman, division L, No. 50, stated that on Thursday night, shortly after twelve o'clock, the prisoners came up to him in Kenning ton-Lute, and asked hidf the way to Whitechapel; he directed them, and they went away. In a few minutes after he heard of the robbery, and instantly followed them, and succeeded in apprehending them. He conveyed • them back to Clapham, where he searched them, and on the prisoner Peter Schmidt he found a bag containing 201. 10s., all in silver, mid sonic coppers. The two male prisoners spoke English very well. The prisoners, when called upon for their thlence, said, in broken English, they were innocent of the robbery, and declared they had never seen the pro secutor before. They, however, admitted they were on the Wandsworth road at the time in question. The Magistrate, said the evidence was quite eon elusiVe, and he should therefore send the prisoners for trial. They were then fully committed to Horsemonger lane gaol to take their trial at the next Ausizes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. On Monday evening the ease of Martha Adams, the young woman charged with stealing the child of Mr. Matthews, of Augusta Cottage, was resumed. Several respectable persons came forward to speak in her favour, and she was liberated. The parish officers of St. Marylebone are endea vouring to do away with the brothels with which it is infested, and at the last county sessions they in dicted the house, No. 11, Buckingham-street, Fitz roy-square, which is a notorious one, and a true bill was found against a female, said to be Susan Faulkner, the keeper of Burridge, an officer of this place, apprehended this woman on Saturday night, under a Judge's warrant, and lodged her io the watch-housg, and she was brought before MrilLtwutssoN on Monday morning to be bailed, or committed. A. gentleman came forward in her behalf, who gave his curd to Mr. llawlinson, " Mr. T. Parker, surgeon and ile poucheur, 60, .Seymour-street, Euston-square." Mr. RAWLINSON told her, unless she gave security for her appearance when the case came on for trial, he should send her to the New Prison. Mr. Parker offered tO be one of her suretie9, and in the evening he brought forward a brewer to be the other. Mr. RonaNsoN refused to take his security, and sent her to prison. Mrs. Ann Waugh, the wife of a young butcher, who lives in Upper Park-place, Dorsetoprare, was charged yester d ay b e f ore Mr. RAWLINSON and. Mr. 6Ru-writ, with threatenincto. murder Charles, her htoband, or do him softie grievous bodily harm. Mr. Waugh had broken his knee-pan, and came upon crutches. The dress of his lady was very stylish, and her appearance somewhat older than his, " I think," said . Mr. RAWLINSON to the com plainant," when you applied for this warrant, you told the you had been married but seven months." Mr. Waugh--Yes, Sir, only seven months, and I haVe spent six of them in jeopardy. Mr, ll.4w4msuri.--W hat could you find to quarrel about so soon? Mr, Wuugh—NothlO g in p , rt i.. cular; she will have it all her oast way, and she has repeatedly taken up a poker, and threatened to knock my brains out. 'Mrs. Waugh—Never, Charles; never, upon my oath. Mr. IlAwuttsuri---Pray be quiet, Mad am ; we. never hear two persons at one time; you shall have your turn presently. Mr. Waugh. Anti I am in drover of being starved by her. Mr. RAWLINSON--.-1 never heard of such a thing ! What 1 starve a butcher, with hie Ileum full of meet Mr. Waugh—Yrs, Sir; since I met with this ecci. dent, I have lain upon the sofa, and she ha 4 refused to Five me necessaries._ Mrs. Waugh—Oh, Charles I tie Charles. Mr. RAWLINSON.--led a pity your friends don't in terfere! and endeavour to bring about a reconciliation. Mr. Waugh—My friends have all forsaken me, for fear of her I have not one to my back. Mr. RAWLINSON begged him to relate the parti cular ocetarrence whit:hied him to apply for ft warrant. He said that Sonday she took Up: a poker, and brandished it over his bead, and he expected every moment to be killed by her. Mr. RAWLINSON (to Mrs. Waugh.)—Why do you do all this ? Mrs. Waugh ---I never did : he fancies it. I love him to distraction :I am too fond of my dear Charles to do him harm. Mr. RAWLINSON.--COme, then, shake hands, and be friendly again. Mrs. Waugh—With all my heart. Here, Charles (presenting her hand). Mr. Waugh—,No; we must be separated : my future happiness depends upon it. Mrs. Waugh—Will you part with me, then, Charles ? Well, if you wish ►t, I have too great a regard for your happiness to oppose it; but how is it to be done ? _ _ _ Mr. ItAwuNsoN-,-Your husband says your own fortune is settled upon yourself. Mrs. W . augh—lt is, Sir. - Mr. Waugh—l want her to be bound over to keep the peace, will you hear my witnesses ? Mr.RAwuNsori —I don't think you are in any danger. She talks very kindly of you, and is much less powerful than you are. Mr. Waugh-1 shall go in danger of my life. Mr. RAWLINSON—Not if you part from each other, as yuu seem determined. Mr. Waugh and his lady both asked, at the same time, how that was to be done. Mr. ItAwuNtsoN told them, by getting an attorney to draw up deeds of sep‘ration; and with that de termination they left the office. L A MBETI-1-STREZT. Mary Musgrove ' an Amazonian vender of opters, was charged with having assaulted Mr. J eremiah Pringle, while in the execution of his duty as sworn-broker. Mr. Pringle detailed the nature of the assault with much feeling. He had gone into the defendant's house for the purpose of distraining, when to his great astonishment he found his rear vigorously assaulted by the fair foot of the defendant. Finding he had no chance with such a determined antagonist, he made a precipitate retreat, and took out a warrant for the damage he had sustained. Mrs. Musgrove assumed a penitent aspect, and declared that the result arose from a moment of " in itation." The Magistrate (Mr. WALKER) decided that she should pay 20a. or he imprisoned for one month. No sooner was the announcement made, than, for getting her meekness, she broke from the officers, and, with the dexterity of a Cribb, put into the un lucky Mr. Pringle two right and left scientific facers. The onset was so sudden and unexpected, that Mr. Pringle could only protect himself by getting into a corner, until relieved by the officers, who by main force held the assailant et the bar, until the Magis trate had conferred a further punishment of an addi sional 205,, or another month's imprisonment. An elderly countryman, inflamed with wrath and rum and water, bolted into the office, and, turning the hinder part of his person towards the Magis trates, exhibited his coat, which had been recently deprived of one of its tails, and begged that a war rant might be immediately granted against the indi vidual who had been guilty of the outrage. The Magistrate could hardly forbear laughing outright at the irresistibly ludicrous figure exhibited by the comtliinant ; bur, upon inquiring into the circumstances of the complaint, discovered that the tearing of his coat had arisen from a difference of opinion betwixt him and a butcher, nne of his cus tomers, respecting the probable proceedings of the Duke. of Wellington at the ensuing Session of Par 'lament, as respected the currency. The Magistrate on learning this, declared that no warrant should be granted for such a trumpery m►nter. " Well," said the countrywan, with a look of dis appointment, " I knew'd I wits all along right ; and I was served so, because every bcdy said I'd cleared up my print.' '1 he Magistrate having expressed very pointed doubts that it was not the only pint he had cleared up before coming to the office, dismissed the ap plicant. INSOLVENT DEB i ORS' COURT, Surr. 28. Thomas Tovey, lure of Cheltenham, Gloucester shire, collector of the paving and watch-rates, was opposed by Mr. COOKIE, on behalf of the Commis sioners of Cheltenham by Edmund Lambert New man, clerk to the Commissioners, appointed under the Acts of the IA and 2d of George IV. Mr. Woonnoii supported the insolvent. From the examination of the insolvent by the Learned Gentleman (Mr. CooKE), it appeared that he bad been collector of the rates sieee 1821, dur ing which period he had become deficient in his accounts to the amount of 7001., and not being in a condition to psy the balance, they (the Commis sioners) had caused a detainer to be lodged against him for 5001.; previous to which, on the 27th of June last, be rendered in discharge of his bail, in an action upon which he had been originally arrested. The Commissioners, it seems, are required by the above recited Acts to audit their accounts periodi cally, whereby they are the better enabled to check the collector of rates; but in the case of this insol vent, notwithstanding the powers given them, they had suffered the insolvent, from time to time, to collect monies and apply the old rates in liquidation of the new. The last audit made by the insolvent was in 1830, when it was discovered that he was K defaulter to that amount. It also appeared that he had entered in his collecting book the names of several persons as defaulters, whom a person of the name of Russell proved by the insolvent's rate-book and receipts in the handwriting of himself, his son, and a person of the name of Maley, had disharged alt claims upon them. Woonttom, on the part of his client, said that the Commissioners had proceeded against one Of the insolvent's bondsmen ( rainier) for 5001., and that be had returned 500/. debts on his schedule which were due to him from the persons for whom he had become liable to the Commissioners, who, if they had done their duty, would not have suffered the insolvent from year to year to have made default in the way he bad done. Mr. Cootat, in a short address to the Court, con tended that the insolvent had been guilty of a direct fraud, and that he had made out a case of embezzle ment against him. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, in pronouncing the judgment of the Court, said, that there was no doubt but that the insolvent had been guilty of a gross breach of trust. , The Court, however, could not shut its eyes against the manner in which the Commissioners had suffered the insolvent's accounts for so long a period to go into smear; and the case might he of some consequence to the Commissioners of Cheltenham hereafter, not only in auditing their accounts regularly, but in taking better security in future, as it uppeared that one of the bondsmen had become bankrupt, and the other (Mr. Tanner) against whom an action had been brought, had not paid the penalty. It was false that the insol vent had .5001. due to him from persons liable to the payment of the rates, for he perceived upon look ing over the insolvent's schedule, that no less than 3701, had , no connexion whatever with that sum. He would not, however, go the full length of the penal clause of the Act of Parliainent, but he con sidered the insolvent merited a severe sentence, and adjudged him to 12 months' imprisonment from the time of filing his petition, at the suit of the Clerk of the Commissioners under the Act of Par liament. On Monday afternoon an accident of an alarm• ing nature happened about three o'clock to a poor man, who. bad the charge of a dust cart, as be was passing t hrough Charing-cross. The poor mart was walking by the side of his cart in the middle of the road, and driving it at a very easy pace, when opposite to Craig's court, another cart coining up in a contrary direction; suddenly closed upon him before he perceived it, and in his effort to escape the danger of being crushed between the two vehicles, his foot slipped, and falling forwards to the ground, one of the wheels of his own cart, which was heavily laden, went over his left leg and thigh, and it was understood fractured both severely. The wretched sufferer lay ea the ground writhing in the most dreadful agony, and moaning aloud, amidst a - crowd of persons who surrounded him, and at last was conveyed on men's shoulders to the Hospital. DINNER TO MR. WAKLEY. Yesterday about 100 persons, friends of Mr. `Vakley, sat down to dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to celebrate his able and manly ad vocacy of justice in the late contest for the Coroner ship of Middlesex. After the usual loyal toasts were drunk, Mr. HUNT proposed—"'The people, the only source of legitimate power."--Drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN (Dr. King) then proposed the health of Mr. Wakley, whose whole life, he said, had been devoted to the public cause, and the be nefit of his country.—((,bent applause.)—Of all men he knew none more fitted for the office of Coroner, whether his sound knowledge, his unbending inde pendence, or great activity, were considered. He therefore proposed the health of Thomas Wakley, Esq., whom he hoped he might call the futui e Co roner of Middlesex.—(Applause.) Mr. WAKLEY, in rising to return thanks, said he should be something more or less than man if he did not feel deeply impressed with what he had just heard. He said that from the first moment be hail entered on public life he had endeavoured honestly to discharge his duty to the public, and he had never, on any one occasion, from private interest, swerved even for a moment train the path he had kid down to himself to follow.—(Applause.)—Mr. Wakley then .proceeded to notice the negligent at tendance of surgeons in the hospitals, end the im portance of placing medical men in the office of Cc roner, as the only means of making the surgeoes pay that attention to the inmates which their cases demanded. lle complained of the misrepresenta tions which had been circulated with respect to him by his opponents at the late election. He had been said to have called the medical profession " Blood stained scoundrels," and to have stated that the Judg, s were paid for the perversion of truth. But the fact was, that with respect to the medical profes sion he had only put an hypothetical case, and said if men do so and so, they would be so and so; and with respect to the Judges, ,he had said that it was unfortunate that they were chosen from a clips of men who had been all their lives paid for the per version of truth. He concluded by thanking the company for their kindness, which he assured them he should ever remember and endeavour to deserve. —(Applause.) " The 3,531 independent freeholders, who re corded their votes in favour of the principle that Coroners should possess medical as well as legel knowledge," was the next toast. Mr. WALLIS, the Chairman of Mr. Hume, the Member of Parliament's Committee, proposed that gentleman's health. his character, he said, was so well known, as to require no eulogium to be put on it by him.— ( Applause.) Colonel JONES, as a friend of Mr. Hume, rose to return thanks. He said that it was not from private friendship, but purely on public grounds, that he had supported Mr. Hume. With respect to Mr. Wakley he begged to say, that his mind had once been prejudiced against that gentleman. He had heard some calumnies to his disadvantage, but be now, upon his honour, believed them to be wholly without foundation. On the he+ilth• of " Mrs. Wakley and the Ladies of Middlesex" being drunk, Mr. WAKI,F,Y returned thanks. Ile would take the opportunity, he said, to show the company how stories to his prejudice, which had not the slightest foundation, got about Four or five years ago a gentleman dined with him and his family at his country-house; and took • particular notice of his children. The next day the gentleman dined at one of the hospital dinners, and the Lancet was brought under discussion. His neighbour asked him how lie could read such an infamous publication ? He replied, that he saw nothing infamous about it. " Why," said the other " don't you know► it is con ducted by an infamoui scoundrel who has turned his wife out of doors, and his children into thy •work house ?"—(Laughter.) After several other toasts were given, the com pany separated at a late hour. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) &amt.—The Sugar Market continued dull last wesit till towards the close of Friday, when the reqnest again revived, and considerable sales were effected ; the total purchases of the last week were estimated at 2,300 hhds. and trees. ; in many cases the prices were a shade lower. The briskness in Muscovaths which we noticed on Friday last has not been continued; there is a stagnation in the demand to-day ; the estimated Pales do not exceed 400 Mids. The stock of West India Sugar is now 56,315 Mids. and tea., being 5,067 hhds. and try. less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is 37,597 bags, being 4,667 bags less than butt year. The weekly delivery of West India is 3,249 hhds. and tn. being 84 less than last year ; and the delivery of Mauritius is 4,280 bags of Sugar, being 585 more than on the corresponding week of la.t year. The scarcity of brown lumps con tinued last week; the prices were in consequence fully sup ported. In the finer qualities there was much besvinests, on account of the accumulation of stock,. particularly in single loaves and Prussian lumps; several sales of middling crushed Sugar were reported at 355. and 365. In Grocery goods there was no new feature. Molasses were dull. This afternoon the Refined Market is in, an unsettled state ; a few anxious sellers disposing of lumps, at a reduction of Is., but the 'great proportion of the trade will not sell at any decline, holding lumps firmly at 725. 6d. and 735. In other goods there is no alteration. Molasses steady at 20s. FORZIGIN SDDAR.—The only le:trellises reported last week were some parcels of yellow Havannah by private contract at the late prices; Brazil Sugars were neglected. EAST INDIA SIM/Al.—There were no sales last week of any extent. This slay at public sale 2,679 bags Mauri tius; the whole sold, but at prices again rather lower. %ST INDIA' MOLAFiSiS. —A public sale of 50 pun cheons good Antigua Molasses was attempted last week, but it was all bought in ; we believe 23e. has been offered and' refused for very good quality of the new. Coentx.—The public sales of Jamaica Coffee last week went off freely, and the late advance in prices was fully maintained ; the Demerara and Derbies went a shade lower, but there appeared to b e mor e buyer s ; 347 bags of St. Domingo were all taken in at 335. This day at public sales 173 casks 201 bags British Plantation, SS bags Po. reign ; the Jamaica sold at full prices ; the fine Detnerata and Berbice taken in ; the ordinary sold at good prices. The Coffee market is stead). Pnovnuoxs.—The contract taken by Government for 8,000 tree. of Pork, and 4,000 trot. of Beef, for the use of the Navy, was obtained on much lower terms than the last. The Market is in consequence fiat. The terms are stated to be 4/. 17s. 6d. per tic. for the Pork, and 4/. 75.6 d. per trc. for the Beef. I.laLric Pammot.--The Tallow Market is still heavy, at 371. 3d. per cwt. The delivery last week was 2,004 casks, and the stock is 22,266 casks. At tl.e same period last year it - Wall 18,601 casks. SALTPETRE is in good demand for the COntinentol mar kets, where many speculations in it have been entered into in consequence of the disturbed state of Continental affairs. 11U24, DILA NDT, ANI) HOLLANDSTIie demand for Brandy increases ; several rather considerable purchases are repotted. Rum is firm ; the chief sales are, of proofs, 1 and over at Is. 9d.; the seven Jamaica ships lost in the Gult passage had a considerable proportion of their cargoes of Rum. Geneve is still neglected. Hemp, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The prices of Tallow are a,shade lower than on Tuesday last ; there are few purchase to report. Flax held for higher prices. Hemp is dull, but without any marked alteration in the currency. Corrott.--There is no new feature in the Cotton Mar ket.
