SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. rtiVoLUTION AT 'BittssittioLAVl received, by an extraordinary express last ttight, the Courtier des Pays lies of Friday., containing the very important, though not wholly-unexpected intelliectr,:e., that events similar to those which ot, , ctirted in the French capital towards the end of fait month, have just oe. carted at Brussels, There is, however, this sebsen• fiat difference between the scenes wittell (MVP crim soned the streets of both capital with blond, that, is the one the Government was the aggressor—the wanton and unprissripled aggressor; whereas, in the other, the peep% were the aggressors.

As SoOn 04 the revolu tion took place in France we immediately foresaw that it would, sooner or later, kindle these feelings into a flame; bet we dill not anticipate so sudden or violent an explosion as that 'seine!' has nettedly taken place, anti %Odell, in the first instaece, has swept away all epposition. Brussels ie now under the authority of a Provisional Government, and under the protection of an tamed force, dissimilar in name, hat similar in its character, to the National Gutted of France, the King's troops having, after hard fighting, been compelled to leave the city.— As this insurrection, or rebellion, is likely to spread over the whole of the southern section of the king: dom, if it has not done so already, it will pro bably produce a total alteration in tire policy which the great European Courts seemed die posed, , from stupor as much as from convite lion, to adopt in the cases of France. For our own parts, we should not feel the least surprise if we were to hear of the Prussian troops, now assembled in the Rhenish provinces for the hummed review, receiving orders to proceed, by forced marshes, to- wards the Netherlatals, to put down an insurrection which the Prussian Government has so many mo- tives for looking tit with intense alarm. One of these motive* is the long-established family connection subsisting betweat the two Comte, and which has been strengthened, or is about to be strengthened, by anew matrimonial alliance. Ditto stronger motive than this is to he found in the powerful influence which the exemple of the Beleiane is too likely tri hires) on the neighbooring Rhenish subjects of Prussia, who, it is well known, have long borne her yoke with extreme impatience. Perhaps smother mo tive may be found in'the sentiments of the Russian nation generally ; but all these, token together, are 'more than sufficient to produce a change in the pacific dispOeition evinced by the great Continental Powers, anti to which the example of our own Geverntnent hie so mainly conduced. le the mean time it re quires no penetration to see that the entrance of u Prussian army i n to the Netherlands will be e signal for the French to enter or thelepposite side.--- Morning Herald. . . The following perticulare are collected from the statement of a gentleman who left Brussels oil Thursday mottling :—Tlm disturbances first broke out on Wednesday, when, us rrlulry. residents had previously understood was to be. the ease, oceur settees of a serious nature took place. The first me rtf insurrection was the people breaking into the horse of the printer of the National, a Ministerial Paper. The editor of that Paper is an Italian, the son of the Grand Duke of Tuscany's Minister, who had been induced by a gratuity of 4;400 florins to coma to Brussele and support .the dominant party. The opinions of the Paper, as well as the mode in Which the services of Its conductor were procured, had highly exasperated the people, and accordingly their first act of violence was committed on the pro perty of the printer of the National. After break. tag into the house, the mob proceeded to gut it of every thing it contained : paper, presses, type*, fur. sutures-etvery thing was seized and scattered into the street. The mob then went and b ro k e open t h e spirit and wine-sheps, and after regaling them. selves with the' liquors, committed similar vies lence on the shops Of the gun-bmithie ltr this state affair* continued daysineak on Thursday, when the streets were filled with nod. titudae of drunken people parading abo u t, coitus armed with guns, end other flouriehing belted sabres over their heads. About five o'clock in the morning the military were called outs and after several at. tempts had been made in vain to disperse the mph, a volley was fired upon them, by which several were killed and wounded. This took piece in front of the Hotel d'Angleterre; but was tar froM having any effect in hithnidet Mg tire people, for they proceeded to the Grand &Won whet e. 01411;4141's house was stiteeted, amid burnt it completely to the ground. Here the whiles vile met theta; trollies were fired, and no less than 100 were! killed and wormier!. The soldiers, however, did not show on this occasion very great courage, or they were, 'wrists, unwilling to fight against the people. A body of Tirailleurie. after discharging their pieces upon the mob, re treated; but upon being closely pursued, they tinned round and delivered up their tome, These were cordinglk taken poesessien of by the mob, as Wen rte~ the accoutrements of the Tiraillears, with which they decoreted their own ,persons. As for the genedarmes, they in no_ wise interfered to quellithe disturbances. Indeed, they laughed at the scene, en d w h e n an. empty winerhotrie was now um) thin thrown at them by some of the mob who bad .got drunk ott its contents, they cautiously itbstained from noticing the insult.

Last night we receiVed the Paris Papeis of Friday. We have extracted froth litem several ordinances issued by the 'Xing, and some other articles of in terest'. The law project fora grant of five millions to be expended on public woiks pusied the Cham ber. of Deputies on Thursday almost unanimously, there being Only two black balls against it. This measure appears to have given general satisfaction I but some of the Papers speak in strong terms of disapprobation of ai deeision tpnie lb on the preced ing dab when the laW for forming jury lists was disitusited.. lire Committee on the project had pro posed Ittat the age which rendered 'qualified persons 'competent to become rors should be for that duty, as for electors, 2.5 - . This proposition, though sup ported by the Minister of the Interior, was warmly npoiseti, and after a debate, the age for_ the jurors Was raised to 30. It is observed, by the Journal entitled the Figaro ) in allusion to this and some other legislative prociedings, that they show that all the Chamber wishes to do is, " to mend the rags of legitimacy with tricoloured thread." Why the question of the age of jurymen should be con sidered of so much importance is not explained.— Times. The Globe, alluding to some obserVations in the - Chronide of Friday; on the supposed inconsistency of those. t,ho speak of the Duke of Wellington, with reference to the accusation of his participation in the Polignac conspiraey, observes " The imputation on the Duke of Wellington may be softened down till it amounts to nothing; but the accusers to whom we allude can scarcely relieve themselves from the charge of inconsistency, except by showing that their accusation is nugatory. " If it he merely meant that the Duke of Wellineton wished well to the Polignac Administration, the charge may be very true ; it may be true especially that he wish, d it a greit blessing, which itdid not possess, ashareof good sense. It is not unlikely that, as a Minister who cannot desire to he exposed to the inconveniences and risk of any change, and as a man who contributed to the settlement, such as it was, of the affairs of Europe in 1815, he aid not wish to see a new Revolution; but there is nothing mil p ible that we can discover in this, and, thus limited, the accusation amounts to nothing. If, on the other hand, he encouraged the Polignac Ministry of illegal measures—to Overthrow, in fact, the established liberties of France by fore...;—then we say he is a man with whom no friend of liberty or order in England ought in any way to ally himself. "The Chronicle's accusation swings to this : the English Oligarchy bated the Fiend, Constitution ; the Duke of Wellington is a member of the English Oligarchy—there. Fore he hated the French CAmstitutisn, and, hating it, he must have prayed for the success of the King. The con clusion by the way is not quite inevitable ; but if the Ile cuooion is thus pared down to these limits, and acknow ledged to rest only on n probability, it seems scarcely ne reisary to utter it—for it is en personal charge against a Minker that he is one of the order hum which Ministers are always selected. "..11ut we may observe that the sense in which the Chro nicle understands the accusation against the Duke of NM lington is essentially different from that in which it is understood by the ultra-Tory party. The Chronicle understands it as equivalent to the assertion that he is well-affected to the Constitution of England ; the , ultra- Tory patty consider it as equivalent to an assertion that be intends to overthrow this Constitution. " Whether the Duke of Wellington shares the feelings of tie English Aristocracy we do not know, or what he end they pray for in their hearts ; but it is nut fair, by reason of these supposed prayers and feelings, to slink the credit of his sets. We know that under his admini• In./satin the principle* of relif/iuu►s liberty and the concord of the people of the United Kingdom have been established —to the great advancement, as the result has proved, of the principles of civil liberty.--a benefit which we are con. fident will be day by day more clearly perceived. He has enforced economy—to a greater extent, at any rate, than his predecessors—and he has maintair.ed peace. In mea.. we* of minor importance—his steeliness in passing through the Beer Bill—he doer not seem to us to have unduly consulted the interests of the body Whose feelings he is supposed to share. " It is unwise and unjust to visit on sorts a Minister all the sins of the English Constitution which existed bef►re he was born, and which will probably exist after be is laid in, the grave. It is more unjust to countenance accusations whir h, as every one must readily perceive, proceed gene rally from persons whose hatred has nut arisen certainly front any hatred which the Minister has at any time shown to free Constitutions, but from the good he has been the instrunient to perform to the caused liberty end peace." We urge no occusalion against the Duke of Wel lington; but we have, at the same time, stated rather more with regard to him than our contemporary here attributes to us. The Duke of Wellington may not have promised aid to the lute Government of France, and he may not have advised that Government to adopt the measures which caused its overthrow; but it would be' difficult to believe that his Grace, as well as the Ministers of the other great Powers, were not eon , ulted on the subject of the measures, and also that they did not approve of them. tithe Duke of Wellington had expressed Isis disapproba tion of the projects of the French Ministers►, is it to be supposed that they would have persisted in them ? The miscalculations of the 11Fnisterit of their means for effecting their purpose have had the effect oftnis leading the Duke; bu► this has nothing to do with the principle involved in the approbation. It is not quite fair to charge us with deriving an accusation against hie Grace merely from his belonging to an order which must hate theßenchConstitto ion, We assumed (and no very violent assumption either) the hatred of the order to which his Grace belongs, of the French Constitution, for the same reasons which attach them to the English Constitution as defaced by borOughmongerieg, and 'argued, not that because the order hated the French Constitution, this proved shut his Grace wished success to the Ek.King; but that Isis wishing success to the French King was by no means a proof that he could not be a fair English Minister. We believe his Grace shares the feelings of his older, and that the order generally hate liberal Constitutions; but how sire we to have a Minister who does not share the feelings of the order? In this country it is not—Whom does the nation choose or repudiate? but who can command Parliamentary majorities. We are toady to admit the services which his Grace has rendered to the country in the ratublishmeet of the principles of religious liberty, . L and we are equ a lly rea d y t o admit tout he owes to his Services in the cause of religious liberty a portion of the opposition with which he has now to con tend. But we also remember that it was under his Administration that au attempt was made to renew the system of State prosecutions for libel, which had been ebandoned for ten years. As to the eco nomy to which our contemporary alludes, we re member that it wits not be who consented to the Finance Committee, but he who re fused to re-appoint it : and, that his eco nomy has beets far below the just expectations of the nation. But if we were to allow him to have done mote in the way of economy, as well as the esta blishmetit of religious liberty, then tiny of his pre deceisors, this only proves that his connivance with Messrs. "Vilma° coil Co. does not unfit him for any English Minister; because it is almost im possible to have an English !Olinger so long as Parliament is constituted as it is, who would not approve of the destruction of such a Constitution as that of France, whereas it is very possible to have a Minister more hostile to religious liberty, and more disposed to profusion: The conduct which we have attributed to the Duke of We;lington, if considered in a moral point of vieW, is fur from being pared down to nothinp,. It is, in fact, the height of immorality to wish to subvert a Consti tution because it is favourable to the people, and riot to a separate order. But, then, all those who wish to promote the interests of the few at the ex. pence of the many, espouse principles which are utterly irrecoricileable with morality, because they are founded on manifest injustice, and the Duke is only culpable of what almost all the higher ranks of this country would have been equally culpable Under favoUrable opportunities.---Morning Chronicle.

Owing to a dispute between the weavers and one of the carpet manufacturers, the town of Kidder minster beume on Tuesday evening the scene of riot and disorder, attended with destruction of the property of many of the inhabitants. About half past seven the Magistrates, considering the excite ment which had manifested itself in the afternoon had subsided, retired to their own residences, but immediately afterwards the populace ) consisting of both sexes, assembled in great numbers opposite the house of Mr. 'William Cooper, earpet-manufacturer, in Mill . -street, and immediately demolished the win dows, doors, shutters, &e., together with the furni ture in the front rooms. The houses of Mr. Brin- ton, solicitor, and Mr. Russell, coal-merchant, ad joining, shared the same fa►e, as did those of Mr. Lea, and Mr. Henry Brimon, carpet manufacturers, and Messrs. Best, woolatapiers, the families of each being subject to much personal risk from the attack. The mob increased every moment in number and strength, and having assembled near the Black Horse-inn, the bailiff (George Custanee, Esq.), at tended by the Town Clerk, attempted to read the Riot Act, but was prevented by the populace, who assailed them with stones, and drove them into the inn, the windows of which were instantly destroyed, as well as the furniture in the house. The houses of. Mr. Gough, sen., in Mill-street, and Mr. Dobson, in Church -street, carpet-manufac turers, were also treated in the same manner, as were also the Town-hall, and the houses of Messrs. Boycott and Son, and Mr. John Gough, draper, in High-street, the latter of whose books of accounts, and stock of goods of very considerable value, were pillaged and taken away by the mob, and great part of the stock was strewed about the streets, and c11.,- covered in a state unfit for use. It is much to be lamented that these outrages have occurred, as it is well known that the persons engages► in the carpet trade are better paid than any body of mechanics in the kingdom. Two of the magistrates residing out of town, the attempts made by the bailiff to quell the disturbance proved in effectual, until the arrival of William Boycott, Esq. one of the magistrates, from his house in the country at half -past ten o'clock, when, with the assistance of some of the 'principal inhabitants, the mob vvas dispersed, and the remaining part of Mr. Gough's stock was secured. The inhabitants met on the following , day (Wed nesday) for the purpose of determining upon the most efficient measures for punishing the offenders (some of whom are in custody), and preventing a repetition of the outrage, and it was unanimously agreed to raise a fund for defraying the necessary expence of rewarding those who may render in formation, and prosecuting the rioters. Many of the most respectable inhabitants agreed to patrol the streets, night and day, for the protection of their property. Applications have been mode to the proper authorities for a permanest military force, and for the aid of the police; and a large reward will be offered for the discovery of the persons who may be implicated. The property destroyed and stolen is supposed to have been worth neatly 3,0001. PLAN FOR EXTENSIVRPLUNDER DEFEATED. A desperate plan Wll9 laid by a gang of thieves for robbing the premises of Mr. Cleland, who keeps an extensive shawl warehouse at No. 19, Ludgate bill. The property with which, if the wit hail succeeded, 'they might have decamped, amounts, it is understood, to between 3,0001. and 4,0001.; and is of so light and portable a nature, that the ware. house, might by a few active fellows, have been cleared of it in less than a quarter of an hou4 It is only to be regretted that the chief officers of the city police were not put in possession of the sus picions of the master of the establishment .at an early hour, for if that had been done, thin A s would have been no doubt so managed that all concerned ;11 the enterprise would have been apprehended in the actual commission of the robbery. The circum stances are as follow As the whole of Mr. Cleland's family do not re side at Ludgate-41W, it wits thought advisable to let two rooms in the house, which are not occupied by as inmates. Bills were accordingly exhibited, and in the course of last week a man end a woman, who appeared to be his wife, called to look at the lodg.. ings. After having attentively examined the rooms, they descended to the coal-cellar, about which they were very inquisitive, and, !win viewed it scru pulously, talked of terms, but were not satisfied with Mr. Clehand's proposal. They then left the house, without giving reason to suppose that they would renew the negotiation. The coal-cellar is, as may be supposed, just below the kitchen railing, and there is close to it a dust-bin, well adapted for the concealment of a robber. On the Monday follow. ing, at about two o'clock, a man called at the ware house to look at some goods, and spoke as if he was likely to become a purchustr. As the ware. house in which thet,lt iwlsare deposited is up one pair of stairs, the shopman, when the bell is rung, opens the door by pulling a string attached to the latch to save himself the trouble of going down. I he pretended customer entered by this process, but not alone. lie had with him a companion, who walked softly down stairs, and betook himself to the dust-bin, where he covered himself up, and patiently waited in expects. tion of three taps, which were to summon him at midnight to open the door for hi. accomplices. The pretended customer went up to the warehouse, arid after looking over some anklet; retired, and closed the door with abang after film. ' His comrade, however, had not exercised su ffi cient motion in groping Os way below stairs. One of the establish. meat thought ho heard en unusual movement, sod it creaking of the cellar door, but it was thought, no thing of for some time. Mr. Cleland, however, mentioned the circumstance to two or three friends, and they recommended his immediate application to Mr. Cope, the Marshal. It was half-past ten at night before the Marshal was inforined of what was by that time very strait* suspected. He asked Mr. Cleland whether he had informed any one of his suspicions—to this Mr. Cleland replied in the negative; but he said that he had, as he ap proached the Mansion-house, perceived a person who had lived with him 44 porter following him. Thia' intelligence prevented the execution of a plan, by which the conviction of the gang would h ave b een insured. The Marshal conjectured that the porter was one of the gang, and that he would, as a *flitter of course, inform the accomplices of the visit to so MIIIIIOII4 a place, as the Mansion-house, and he ad. wised, under those circumstances, that the cellar should be searched. This was done between eleven and twelve o'clock, and an ill-looking ruffian was found in the dust-bin, provided with a phosphorous box, a centre-bit, and other thieves' tools. While Mr. Cope WAS searching for this adventurer, nen. 'haw and Ridgley, two active officers of the night patrol, kept a - look out in the neighbourhood. At about half-past one o'clock- they saw a maw move up to the door of the house and gently rap wish his knuckles, looking round at the same time with an inquisitive eye. As he tapped in vain, he left the spot and walked down Ludgate hill, followed at a distance by the two officers, who observed him go up to a hackney -coach that, stood on the Britlge4trect stand, and tap at the door of it ; the coach-window was immediately let down, and a men appeared ; and afte r exchanging a few words with his visitor, quitted the coach, and walked up Ludgate hill with him. The m oment h e reached the door of Mr. Cleland's house he tapped at it with his knuckles. Not r ece i v i ng any answer, he scraped his shoes over the iron-grating, and st ampe d upon it as if he fancied that hi s accomplice within had fallen aslee p. The officers then rushed upon hiM, but he knocked them both down, and took to his heels. They however soon overtook him, and placed in safe custody. In the scuffle the ruffian's hat dropped off, and from it fell two screw -drivers, a centre-bit, and a phosphorus box. His companion succeeded in getting away in the confusion. Th e two prisoners were taken to the Compter, where they said their names were George • Smith and John Wilson. It is said that they haie been both in the Penitentittry. It was afterwards thought necessary to apprehend Thomas Phillips, the person who had on a former occasion acted as porter to the concern, and whom Mr. Cleland believed he sawf o l, lowing him on his way to the Mansion-house, to give information to Mr. Cope. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A CLI4:RGYAIAN: On Sunday, the al inst. great indignation was created, by the refusal of the Vicar of Dean, near Bolton-le-Moors, Lancashire, to bury a corpse, tin der the following circumstances :—lt appears that his Reverence has latterly felt it rather irksome to himself personally to inter at the regular hour hitherto observed on Sundays, namely, immediately after the afternoon service, though his residence is not one hundred yards from the church; and on Sunday, the 15th instant, he gave out from the pul pit, that he should alter the time to two o'clock, that is between the two services. His vicarage is very extensive, and consequently this intention only became known to a few, who resided near to and frequented the parish church. Last week three men were killed in a coal-pit, belonging to the trus- tees of the late Duke of Bridgewater, and it was intended that the funerals should be celebrated all at one place and at one time. It not being known that the time was altered, of course five o'clock was appointed, and the friends end relatives summoned to attend at that hour. One of the deceased be longed to the " Independent Order of Odd Fel lows," and the brethren, as is usual on the death of a member, held themselves in readiness to conduct his remains to the grave, with the usual ceremonial of the order! On Saturday Hight a message was sent from the clergyman to the friends of the de ceased men, that if the corpses were not at the church for interment at two o'clock, the Vicar would not bury them, nor yet allow any other minister to do it. This mandate was obeyed by the friends of two of the deceased; but the friends of the third, he who belonged to the Odd Fel lows, not having sufficient time to inform the persons who were invited to pay the last tribute of respect to him, of the alteration in the time, adhered to the original hour, conceiving that no real impedi ment would be thrown in their way, because it was the hour for burial which had always been observed within the memory ..of the oldest inhabitant. In consequence of the body, therefore, not arriving at the same time as the other two, the Vicar ordered the grave to be filled tip; and then went and preached a sermon on the necessity of being cleansed from the lepiosTof sin and pride, that they might appear in the bright healthiness of Christian charity and humility 1 The corpse arrived at 2.5 minutes after four o'clock, before the conclusion of the re gular services of the day. Several applications were medal() the Vicar to inter the eorp.e, or allow it to be interred by the Curate but he turn e d a d ea f ear to all their entreaties. About one thousand people were assembled, who loudly expressed their indigna tion at his conduct ; and if the friends of the de ceased would have consented, they would have buried him in spite of the Vicar. Seeing popular feeling so much against him, he made a proposal to find a guard to watch the body, if they would leave it in the church all night, and be would perform the funeral rights over it the next day. This was rejected, and the body was con veyed to the Independent Methodists' Chapel, in Bolton (a distance of two miles), where it was in terred, and the service performed by one of the e‘ Unpaid" Ministers of that body. The conduct of the Vicar is about to be &Omitted to a competent tribunal, the Order of Odd Fellows having pledged themselves to bear all the expense. A riot was ex pected, but all was very peaceable; a county Ma gistrate (Capt. Kettly), however, remained on the ground the whole of the time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Abraham Cohen, a Polish Jew, was charged by Mrs. Corbet, who keeps a haberdasher's shop, with haying tricked her out of 3s. by sleight of hand. The Jew, who pleaded innocence of the English language as well us of the offence, went into the plain tiff's shop, and purchased a handkerchief, for which he paid with a sovereign. In receiving the change he endeavoured to confuse Mrs. Corbet, by desiring that small silver should be substituted for the large, which in the first instance she had placed in his hand, and he contrived to hold three of the shillings in the wrinkles of the palm, without at till closing his fingers. Finding that in the dealing she proved to be 3s. minus, Mrs. Corbet accused her customer, who looked quite unconscious of offence, of the rob bery, but perceiving that she was too sharp for him, he dexterously placed two shillings on a distant part of the counter, and slipped the third into his pocket, where it appeared he had plenty of silver of his own. The whole process appeared like magic, but the shopkeeper knew how many shillings her customer was welded to, and no sleight of hand could blind her memory as to the amount of the change. The LORD MAYOK said, that foreign knaves were very much in the habit of practising tricks of the kind, although they were not very perfect in their knowledge of the English language.—(A laugh.) Mrs. Corbet said, that there was something about the prisoner which she did not like, but she Made allowances for him considering that he was a solitary and unprotected foreigner. The Jew vowed to God (with the aid of an in terpreter) tha t h e h a d acted honestly, and detained no money but what he was entitled to. lie was, he said, no more than six weeks in this country, and could of course as yet know nothing but what was honest.—( Laughter.) An officer found in the pocket of the prisoner an old turban, such as was worn by the Turks who were in th e habit of imposing stained willow-wood upon the public as rhubarb. This tallied with the account given of himself by the Jew, who said he Was a rhubarb-merchant. The LonD Mayon observed, that there was so much gullibility amongst the public, that they would swallow willow-wood or any other wood if the fel low who sold it would only clap an old bandage of cloth round his head, and walk about with naked legs gabbling any sort of nonsense.—(A laugh.) Mr. Hobler asked the prisoner how it happened that he had changed the sovereign when he had plenty of silver in his pocket. The prisoner was. not at all disconcerted at this question. Ile stated that a gentleman had purchased 39. worth of rhubarb from him, and paid him with t he sovereign; and that afterwards it occur red to him that the gold might be copper, whereupon ho went into the *hop to buy a hand kerchief, which, by-the-by he wanted, as a pick ppeket had just etolen his own. It was here asserted that the Jew had a much more extensive knowledge of the English language than he pretended to have; for when a gentleman mentioned to him that the lady had been tricked by him, he said, " Tricked ! No, your a liar to say so."—(Laughter.) The Loup MAYOR—WeII, my friend, this sort of work will not do here. If you don't give back to this lady the silver of which you have robbed h e r, you shall go to Newgate ? The prieoner was evidently terrified at this threat. It .was obvious that he considered the clean per formance of the trick deserved home reward; hut taking out a shilling he handed it to Mrs. Corbet, saying he would pay a shilling at any time to keep out of so virked a place. Mrs. Corbet having stated that the shilling made it all square between her and the Jew, the latter was about to march off, but the Lord Mayor would so t part with him until he paid the expences in curred by bringing th e case before hi s L or d ship, GUILDHALL. Mr. Miller , th e overseer ' s assistant in St. Se pulehrtes, supplied to Sir Junm PERRINO and 14 Alderman SCROLEY Oil Saturday, hit r. to pass a to the Saffron-hill liberty of St. Andrew's, Holborn, on the ground that although its mother was a mar ried woman, it was illegitimate, and therefme i s legal settlement was the place of its birth, the afore. said liberty. He said the mother was n German woman told had married an Englishman, but she had separated from him to cohabit with - a person now in good circumstances at Brentford, anti the child in question was the issue of that intimacy, which con tinued for three years. He knew that the law did not permit a woman to bastardize her issue, and that her direct evidence upon such a subject could not be received; but still she was not deemed ab solutely incompetent to be a witness. Her testi mony was admissible to a certain extent, if the truth of it could be clearly established by collateral evi dence. He would read, from minutes of his own, what the woman could state, and he would point out in what particulars her statements could be cor roborated, if the overseers of the Saffron-hill liberty chose to take the case to the sessions, The Aldermen appealed to Mr. Payne for his opinion, and he said the case must rest on other evidence than that of the wife. In answer to questions from the Magistrate the woman said the child was nearly seven years old, and the father had given her only 10s. towards its maintenance during the last three years. She had not seen her husband for eleven years, and he hail. been in America for the last seven years. She did not mention her own name nor that of the repot. d lather. The Aldermen titer consulting together, said the applicant must bring as full and conclusive evidence before them, us a foundation for the order of re moval, us would be neces.ary to sustain the order a , the Sessions. They would not act on the evi dence of the wife alone, even with the assurance that it could be entirely corroborated. Mr. Miler said he would collect the evidence they required, and produce it on an early day. BOW.STREET. On Saturday Lcvy, jun., a sheriff's officer, and one of hii assiiitants, were charged by a solicitor, named Tomlins, mid* having forcibly entered his chambers, and also with having a4suulted him. The defendants were after evidence had been ad duced, removed in custody, and soon after put in the required :sureties. Mr. Tomlins :declared that he would carry the matter to the Sessions. WORSHIP-STREET. On Saturday, John Baker, Thomas Lan2dale, and John Mendus, were placed at the bar before Mr. BuotiatmoN, on two charges of shop-►ifting, in the shops of Messrs. Bennett and Co., and Mr. Sexton, linen-drapers, at Hackney. They were remanded till Monday (this day) to have depositi ins taken. _ . Willians Wardell and Joseph Walker, two well known juvenile depredators, about thirteen years of age, were charged with attempting to open the windows of Mr. Lindo, of Matvon a cottages, Kings land-road, with intent to commit felony. Mr. BRouttrrox said the prisoners were well. known thieves, and a little prison discipline would do them Ito harm ; they were therefore commited to the I louse of Correction to hard labour for one month. SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTH Eas tittem. —LANCASTER, Auo. 28. ~,. assn s 4. ~.,;;.:- yatr o t, V. GRUNDY. MrAtiiiiAlmt stated that the present action was brought . by the plaintiff to recover a reasonable compensation for the injury she had suffered from the defendant, James Grundy, by his having refused to fulfil a promise of marriage which he had made to her, and which she had accepted. The plaintiff, Anne Hall, was the daughter of one John Hull, a respectable canal agent, who had amassed consider able property fur a person in his humble line of life, and who had brought up his daughter in a respect able manner. The defendant, James Grundy, was also a person possessed of considerable property in houses, and he also drove a coach between Man cheater and Buxton, of which he was part pre prietor. Whether it was love or interest that bud 'educed him to pay his addresses to Anne RA he (Mr. Brougham) could not tell, but the Jury might infer which of the two it was, from the fact of his having had no idea of her till he had once acciden tally asked her brother how much of her father's pro perty his sister Anne would have : the answer to which question was that she and the two other children of John Ilbll (wbo had died intestate) would all share alike in .his:preperty, the amount of which was 3,000/, ne: 1,0001. for each child. He then made up to Ike ,plaintiff, wh o was f ar f rom b e i ng romantic in hPoonons of love, but who being ar rived at a critical period of female cabacy, thought it Much better to marry than burn, when the opportunity o fered. She listened to his tale of love, and became attached to him, and taking all into consideration, she was justified in her attachment, as the match was it very reesenuble one. Subsequently, however, the defendant declared he had found a wife with 1,700/., and us she had more money than Anne Hall, so she had the preference with him ; the upshot of it was, therefore, that the plaintiff was left by this good-for little fellow, and now came before them to obtain compensation for the injury she had sustained, as well in her situation as in her feelings, by the con duct of James Grundy. The Jury would probably be addressed by his Learned Friend next him (Mr. J. Williams), who packed a great deal in a very small compass.— (A laugh.)—When he said so, he beg ed to be miderstooJ to mean, that his L earne d Fri ,'"5 I speeches wer e genera ll y very compact, and ink lo the point ; his friend would probably attempt to laugh the case out of court by calling it a paltry action, and such like epithets, but he (Mr. Brougham) hoped he would not; he hoped he should not hear Irma his Learned Friend any such arguments, as that actions of this kind were out of keeping with the situation of the parties, and that such actions ought not to be brought by persons in the middle station of life. The Learned Counsel then culled John Hall, who is plaintiff's brother, has known James Grundy for two years. Grundy drives the Bruce couch between Manchester and Buxton. In February last witness travelled by the Bruce to Manchester. His father had died the precedirg January, intestate. Grundy asked him to come on the coach-box, and questioned him as to the division of his father's property. Witness replied, that he and another brother, and his sister Anne, were to share it equally, and that their respective shares would be 1,0004 each. Grundy immediately invited witness to his house in Manchester. Witness went there, and was taken through all the rooms and shown the furniture. Greedy then told him that he could see be wanted for nothing, and his sister Ann had nothing to do but to " hang her bonnet up," for he'd have her. Cross-examined by Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS—The day on which Grundy spoke to him übout his sister was Dot Valentine's-day, though it Was somewhat near the middle of February; Grundy is a jolly red faced man, who limps a little; could not say how old he is; witness's sister Anne is 28 years of age. Mrs. Hall, the wife of die preceding witness, had known Grundy two years; on the 20th of March last she was directed by Anne Hall to look out fur the Bruce coach; she went into the front garden and did so; the coach presently came by, when Grundy, who was driving it, stopped, and gave a person called Slater, who was with her, a letter, saying, " Give that to Miss Hall." The letter was here put in and read; it was couched in a mixed style of business and love, and contained a formal appointment of the day for the wedding to take place. Eliza Williams, servant to Sykes, stated, that on the morning of the 20th of April, the defendant, tic. companied by a friend of his, a hackney-coachman, Cottle to the house of Sykes, and asked where all the folks were: it was at eight in the morning. Witness said Amine Hall would lie down directly,und ran up to call her; she went in* Anne's bed-room, and told her that Grutultiejk.rti.eSlie jumped up, an d said she w0u1d40 1 !,7 tliry.
