SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, In our Paper of yesterday we gave it as our own opinion, and as that of persons the best . foimed on those points, that the Emperor of Russia would revoke the order, if !inch order had been given, for ►he recall of his Ambassador, and the departure or the Russian subjects from Paris, as soon as he was made acquainted with the actual state of affairs end the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in France. We today are enabled to speak more distinctly on this subject. True it is that the Emperor of Russia on his first alarm and indefinite: information respecting the French revolution, did, the bigotted part of the population on the restora tion , of, the : Bourbon&:, The priests then instigated to the slaughter of Protestants at Nismes, as they now do to the destruction of printing-presses i n Paris—in both cases a war of barbarism against knowledge and civilization. However, such mani festations. of the hostile spirit of a feeble and hulas tooted party as occur at Nismes cause little uneasi ness to the Government, which can safely rely on the general indignation of the country and the acti vity of the local unthoritics for their suppressitn. At Meta and some other places, where troops are sta tioned, some regiments have mutinied against officers known to be devoted to the expelled dynasty. At first sight it excites surprise that any officers of this description should be allowed to retain commands in which their influence might be dangerous; but it seems the Government considers it impossible to supersede them without violating the regulations of the military service. Perhaps, too, the convic tion that the present spirit of the soldiers removed any immediate apprehension of risk from the disaffection of their commanders may have had considerable weight in pro ducing this forbearance. Similar moderation is ob served towards the refractory priests, who are en deavouring to organize a Carlist party in France. iViluny of these pious preachers of discord refuse to allow the Domine Eamon free regent to be snug in their churches. Of this the Government takes no notice, and to do otherwise would he unjust, as there is now no national religion in France. But the people are not so indifferent, and sometimes get the proscribed part of the service chanted in spite of the priest. The Monileur of Sunday states that the list of appointments to Embassies which has appeared iu the paperS is not correct. A passage which we have extracted from the Constitutionnel gives strong indications of an approaching insnrrec rection in Spain. The National says that the re ports in the Brussels papers, of the. Prince of Orange's entrance into that city, give a very' incor rect idea of his reception, anti appends some notes to the account, published by the Courrier des Pays lies, which we inserted in our paper of Monday last. The National asserts, that the emotion the Prince is said to have evinced was that of fear ! " At the sight of the barricades he turned pale as death!" It must be allowed, however, that the circumstances were such as to agitate the strongest nerves, and that the Prince never seems to have lost his presence of mind. If he was afraid, his fear was not of that abject kind which disqualifies from action. As to the cries of " Viva le Prince!" the commentator says, There were indeed some such cries, but they were drowned by hisses, and very offensive language was addressed to the Prince, relative to the robbery of the Princess's jewels."— Times. As great doubts have lately been excited with respect to the intentions of Russia, we may state that we have reason to believe that one of its lead ing Statesmen has expressed himself hostile to Russia interfering against France. We have been informed, on what we consider good authority, that Count Nesse!rode, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, as a precaution, order his ports to be shut against the tri-coloured flag, and further commanded the return of his nussiati subjects to their native coun try, adding that Frenchmen could not be allowed to visit the Imnerial dominions. His Majesty, how ever, did not . go the length of recalling his 4:Was:odor. It cannot be denied that these orders indicated, at' the time of their being issued, both alarm and dislike of the proceedings at Paris; but altered circumstances will doubtless alter his views; at all events, we can state with perfect belief that the Emperor Nicholas will immedintely recognise the existing. Government of Louis Philip, King of the French. Austria has already recognised the new order of things in Franee ; her recognition proceeds to Paris via Berlin, and will be accompanied by tiler of Prussia. This conjoint n to d e o f p rocee di ng i s far from unimportant, .as, besides the additional guarantee for the preservation of the general tran quillity of Europe held out by this solemn act of two great Continental Powers, it marks a cordiality of intercourse and harmony of purpose in two States, which, from contiguity and various other local reasons, might be supposed most likely to be af f ected by reciproeril jealousies.— Times. The industrious chums of Frenchmen (and we may add, of our own countrymen also) seem better to understand the duties of a Government to its subjects, than those of fellow-citizens to each other. The disturbances created by bodies of mischievous and refractory printers in the French capital, form a hod sequel to the achievements of the last week of July, in which many of the same well-Meaning, but ill-taught men, bad borne a part so glorious. Their object in destroying the improved machinery for expeditious printing, is not more guilty or more barbarous than the assailants of power-looms— the professors of the Luddite policy in England; but it is undoubtedly not a whit less criminal, or less void of common sense. The avowed purpose of the outrage committed by these journeymen upon the property of their employers, has been to throw all press machinery out of use, except that rude implement the hand-press, in order that press men may be employed hereafter in stead of the streets-engine and the rollers. This is in plain English an attempt to render Newspapers five or six times as dear as they now are, by applying to their production about ten times the ex isting quantity of labour : in other words, it would diminish in the same proportion the circulation, and therefore the manufacturing of journals. There is in a French journal an excellent letter, addressed to some member of the discontented body of printeri, by M. Charles Dupin. The writer, who promises a second letter, treats the subject in the present one as a question of pure justice, and enforces the right of every citizen to employ his . capital and industry in the manner which suits him best. M. Dupin de nies the right of the Legislature so to protect the interests of any one class of citizens es to abridge the liberties and injure the . property of others; and on that score of right to nitermeddle, it may well be asked, if we grant the exi s te nce o f th e r i g h ts who shall assign its limits ? If the steam-engine be interdicted, for the sake of pressmen, why should not the same wonderful invention be abolished, to whatever branch Of manufacture it has yet been ap s plied 2—for nowhere is it seen but as a power which supersedes a certain quantity of manual labour, and excludes it. Th e p rogress o f menufeeturing industry in all branches may be used as a term synonymous with the gradual substitution of mechanism for the hand 'of man.. Since the spinniugelermy has been brought to such'perfection that one labourer by its inetrumentelity performs the work of 50, the num bers of human beings employed in working cotton throughout the north of England have been multi plied in the ratio of more than 50 to one. Since the publication of newspapers came to be expedited by the steam-engine, the sum-total of families supported by printing establishments in France and in this country have been increased to an immense extent. But if the steam press be sacrificed, where will the reformation stop ? Whet is the hand press,---what the type itself, but an op presslve'and inhuman invention, whereby thousands of worthy individuals who had earned their bread by 'the useful art of penmanship, must have been irreparably ruined ? Let the Parisian compositors and pressmen, but reflect how many hundred's of quills could be employed in writing daily 16,000 or 20,000 copies of journals, laid in manuscript before whole regiments of clerks, and then ask them selves how, if these early artisans should w it ge war upon the leaden alphabet, and destroy it, with other elements of the yet infant invention s —how, let us repeat, could these persecutors of the steam-press condemn the abolitionists of its clumsy predecessor of the list century, by any argument which must not /Nuttily : recoil upon their own proceedings ?* To n dispassionate mind, with even the slightest tincture of knowledge, it tnust appear ludicrous to treat such questions as if they could bear discussion, And when we see large bodies of men capable, not many weeks ago, of acts trot merely of the most daring courage, but marked at once by u steutlittees of purpose, a sagacity and genero , ity above all praise r —when such men so "non afterwards degene rate into n series of outrages, contemptible and senses lees, as well as lawless and iniquitous, the suspicion becomes almost unavoidable, that foul seductions have been practised on them, from motives and with objects which will not bear the light. We insert an address from a eorregpondent to the impetuous and misguided multitude, who now seem half disposed to tarnish their well-earned honours of the pre ceding month, and if arty thing cast either penetrate the understandings or touch the feelings of men so excited, and so imperfectly instructed as to their personal interests or their social duties, we have hopes dust such an appeal from a cordial friend, who admires their heroism, may not be without in fluence upon them. Let them at least be assured of this—that all who instigate them to disturb the public peace, are implacable enemies to the (sieve for which the credulous workmen have bled and conquered.—Times. Besides observations on the opposition to the use of machinery, now a subject of immediate interest with the Paris Journals, the contents of the Papers of Sunday last are in other respects not unimportant. There ball been a renewal of the late disturbances at Nismes, and though 'tranquillity is supposed to be restored, for that is not certain, the affair is stated to have been of a very serious nature. The ultra violence displayed in this quarter of France is e natural consequence of the encouragement given to s That journeymen printers have thetoselveshete how been the vi c ti ms o f h os tility to their old bans !- pr ess , s wilichr tiurtigh considered A very Simple machine by therm has been thought mi.chievonaly powerful in its productive 'towers by others is an historical fact. The Court of Station in Newland having made an order that certain manuscript papers necessary to bo submitted to the Judges, in the viuraw of processes before that Court, should be pre- Itnte4l° Chum Printed, the order was resisted by an inn. :nem number of writers' who were at that time constantly employed in copying these papers. riots took pl at* , in which these 44 Violent penny.page" wr iters, as they %Vete called, attacked the 1 )6416 144.01%1e5, and any kcompositor or preasman who cause in their way war its danger of being quickly rendered A fit lo bj ect f or t h„ lections of the Professor of Atiatotoy.

Our informant even stated that he was at Carlsbad when the news of that event reached him, and that he hod immediately an interview with Price Metternich. The result of that interview was this :--They ,both agreed that the wisest course for their respective Governments to pursue would be to leave the French unmolested, unless they should seek to revolutionise other countries. If they did that measures were to be taken to check them. If they did not the Conti nental Powers were to be advised to remain pasaive. The result of this deliberation, wo were informed, was communicated to the King of Prussia, who ap proved of it, and to the Emperor of Austri►►, who gave it his sanction. We are inclined, therefore, to suppose that the orders sent by the Russian Go vernment to its 'Ambassador at Paris were sent before Count Nesselrode's opinion and the opinion of the Courts of Germany had reached it ; and we presume that those orders will be recalled, or mo- allied, when the resolution of the other European Powers, particularly of Englund, is known at St. Petersburgb, and when it is seen that the continued quietness of France affords no other Power a pre text for treating her in uny but the most friendly manner, We have. also reason to believe that the determination of the British Government to acknow ledge Louis Phillippe was not formed till it received by a courier (on this day fortnight, we believe) in telligence that such as we have stated them were the opinions of Prince Metternich and Count Nes -elrode.7 Morning Chronicle. A contemporary (the Times) has the following observations:— " It will Ise perceived that the new Government of France have .introduced a new mode of address smeng the Peers and functionaries of France, and even among the great functionaries of State. There are to he no more • Illy Louis' emong them—no longer Moro•eigneur, but M. Le Ministre. Now there is no country in Europe in which the distinction between Peer and Commoner is se 'nuked as in England; and that owing to the existence of those absurd, and even profane addresses, • My Lord,' ua applied to the tamer ; and ' Your Lordship,' Your Grace,' tend • Noble Lords.' Foreigners are diesusted with us on this account ; and think that, with the freest institution'', we are the basest people, to suffer such n dis tinction to exist in daily practice l No ono would or could interfere with a Lord as a legislator in the Upper House--a Member of the House of Louis, if you please; but Lord Grey, for example, or Lord Grenville, would quite as well discharge all the duties of that station, if addressed • Sir;' Yes, Sir;' No, Sir;' as when celled that w hi c h t h ey are not,. ....g the Lord' of him who ad drones them. We should like to see this profane and disgusting foolery put an end to in England. It exists nowhere else. It is not worth the while to inquire how it crept in here; but this is the last country where it ought to find a place; and we have no doubt but that being once branded, it will very soon vanish hence. The sooner this takes place the better ; and no time so good as the present., It is remarkable also, that the servility of practice outruns the formality of the law in this respect. The law allows no titles to the younger sons of Dukes or Marquises. It is George Gordon, Esq. commonly called Lord George Gordon ; yet each of these persons is now a My Lord a My Lord_l The title is the smallest part of the Weir. The evil of Aristocracy lies much deeper than title. -Title' without substantial power would only be ridiculous; and a poor Nobleman would be us glad to get rid of the title of " my Lord" as the unfortunate hump backs, to whom it is given by the vulgar. The evil is in te law of succession, which allows large masses of property to accumulate in the hands of a corn . pnrattvely small number of individuals, who are thereby enabled to make the property of the rest of the community tributary to them. The solid power lot the Aristocracy, and the habits of the people of 'England, which lead them to worship wealth and show to a degree known in no other country, pro duce the servility of mind which disposes to the yielding willingly to much homage in the way of ad dressing Peers, as Peers would be disposed to exact. We have just received ,Lndy Morgan's work on France in 1829-30, in which there are several able articles by Sir Charles Morgan, and among others one on primogeniture, which goes to the bottom of thy question to which we are now alluding. We are glad to perceive that this important subject has of late attracted so much attention, and that the belief is beginning to be general that no people can be moral with an Aristocracy; no country well governed where primogeniture is the law of descent. Sir Charles Morgan observes— " In England the powers of the State, however theo retically divided, are, fur all practical purpwes, vested in a pure Oligarchy. A close Aristocracy of the titled Nobility and the greater I.nded Proprietor*, monopolise a paramount influence in Parliament ; and the King and his_ Ministers can do nothing without their permission; while the people have little direct controul over affairs, and are allowed nu,greater liberty than serves to increase their productive power as labourers, for the benefit of the Privileged consumers of the public revenue. It is a notion in— • istAYOU us the Englishman's imagination, that the possession of land is something very different and very superior to all other sorts of wealth; and that .if - to `this claim to distinction be added a title, and two or three ge nerations of ancestors, the possessor is fairly privileged to quarter his family on the tithes and taxes of the nation. Befure this power every knee bows ; to it the Throne has gradually yielded its prerogative, and the people ?omen tiered their rights ; and in it is vested all the substantial authority end real influence in. the English scheme of Go. vernment. Although the principal part of the public business he transacted in the Commons, the Lords (repro sented there by the nominee's) in reality decide on ail im portant questions, and give the tone and character to public affairs. In France, on the contrary, the rights of primo geniture are abolished; Aristocracy has scarcely any pri vileges; and the Chamber of Peers is a mere surplusage, a supernumerary wheel in the state machine, which compli cates without materially modifying its movements. It is in vain that the Executive, on creating a Peer; dignjfies him with a title, and confers on him a legislative power; he is not thereby separated from the mass of the people in sentiment or in interest ; and the spirit of liberty shows it self in the Upper House, with nearly as much firnme:as and purity as in the Chamber of Deputies. " This political condition is a natural ornsequence of the deeply-rooted feeling of equality, which (with the ex , caption of the emigrant noblesse) pervades all classes of Frenchmen ; and of that abhorrence of feudality which has Arian) from a thousand years' experience of its horrors- This feeling it was that dictated the laws established dur ing the: Revolution, for regulating the descent of property; which, by breaking up the great estates, .has eradicated all vested interests in State abuses, and has united all ranks and foams in one common desire for a free and a just Government. • " The advantages derived from this new order of things are too immediate and tangible to escape popular remark ; and notwithstanding all the efforts of Napoleon to raise up a new Nubility, and all the vat of the Bourbons to re establish the old, the dislike of artificial grades in society is becoming daily more rooted. All attempts to re-este.. blish new houses by the creation of majorata have made no change in public - opinion ; and it is remarkable that -the eldest. sons of families have shown ea ateady an opposi tion to the principle, as they who would have been disin herited by its adoption. " It is, in fact, in the single act of gavelling the French territory that the whole practical benefit oldie Revolution centres ; and it is at the same time the chief guarantee for the future developemetit of a Constitutional Government. The diffusion of wealth and of industry is a powerful in strument for disseminating knowledge, and for creating a public opinion ; and the traditional remembrance of what the peasant was before the Revolution, and the contrast of that condition with the actual . state of the small proprie tors affords an argument for liberty which no sophistry can refute, and no power silence. " Wherever the right of primogeniture is acknow ledged, there the cavil-pled cadets of the great proprietors most be supported by the peop'o, It was so in old France ; it is so in England, The younger brothers, educated with the future chiefs of their lonises, necessa rily adopt their habits and their prejudices, their turn for expense and idleness, and their proud contempt for commercial industry. To provide for them, the Army and Navy, the Church and the Civil Service, must be placed at the disposition of the heads of the great fami lies ; and to rimless this influence, the Nobility must obtain such a power in the State, as is obviously subversive of real liberty and of diffusive happiness. To keep this body in vigour, the laws nom be so regulated as to encourage, in a vicious degree, the aocumulation of wealth into few hands, so that eventually the population must be divided into two groups--.the extreme rich and the extreme poor ; than which a greater curse can hardly be inflicted on civilized man. " In England, the energies of the people, and the suc cess of their manufacturieg and commercial exertions have tended to controul and to disguise this catenation of events. The grout industrial fortunes raise the apparent condition Of the people to the level of the landed Aristocrat; and - us this species of property is to a certain degree gavelled, •it returns a large mass of wealth hack upon the middle and inferior ranks. But the mischief is still at work, an active agent of misery ; and it shows itself in all its deformity in the 'debt, the taxes, and the poor rates, and the deteriorated condition of the labouring classes. . . It is in Ire land that the unequal distribution of wealth produces its evil consequences in all their intensity." • So much for Aristocracy. Alas, the abolition a title would go but u short way to relieve us of •thin substantial enemy to good government and nation.' bappiness.-11forning Chronicle. It cannot be denied that the peace of Europe is, at the present moment, in a state of extreme peril. The shock of the French revolution pervades the continent from the shores of the Tagus to the banks of the Volga, and Kings and 11111101111 feel the tremblings of the political earthquake, by which the throne of the Bourbon dynasty has been subverted. Whether this fearful state of things is to end in a general war, or new and pacific relations among the various people and Governments of Europe, no.po- Nice! sagacity can yet discover. Much will depend upon the good sense or faulty of those Govern ments themselves; although, in a crisis of 'Rich great excitement, a n d w h ere thel combus:ible mate rials of revolutions are so thickly strown, an acci dental spark might kindle the flame of , war in a way which no human prudence could foresee or avert. Whatever may be the issue of the great events which have so suddenly risen to confound the wisdom of man, and whose remoter consequences are known only to that Supreme Intelligence which governs the destinies of the universe, it must be the wish and hope of every person of well-constituted mind, that the progress of revolution may be wetted. by:those timely reforms which the spirit of the age demands. It is in vain to say that the revolutionary movements' which have appeared, and which are in progress,' are the work of a few incendiaries, who have Coils spired together against civil order and, legitimate au thority, .and excited the people to desperate resist ance to their rulers. If we search the history of the world we will find that good GovernMents never produce revoletions. There are, indeed, in all countries, and under the best Governments, to be found some turbulent and discontented spirits, who, its Lord Bacon expresses it, .would " set their neighbour's house on fire to roast their own eggs;" but as it always is the interest, of those classes who constitute the strength and power of the State to prefer quiet to disturbance, and order to insecurity, such spirits can never gain on ascendancy over the public mind, unlesi there be something decidedly wrong in the nature or administration of the Go vernment which people are hopeless of having redressed by peaceable means. The daises by whose combined efforts only a revolution can be accomplished, are, generally, mote remark able for their long :endurance of grievances than for resorting to the desperate remedy of violence, which they always fear may produce greater evils than those of which they complain. In France, fur instance, how long had the Bourbons been set. ing in a manner which proved their incapacity for exercising the duties of enlightened Government Long, indeed, before any woel resistance was made to their power by any large portion of the p eop l e . It bas been clear to France, for y ears past, that , these infatuated Princes were employing all their power, both by open oppression and secret intrigue, to bring the nation back to that state of ignorance, superstition, and moral debasement which had already precipitated it into the frightful scenes of a sanguinary revolution. Yet it was .not until Charles X. and his Ministers, by an act of trans cend„ot insanity, expunged the Charter, that any formidable resistance was offered to the tyrannical ambition of the Court. Instead of conforming his Government to the spirit of the age, Charles, under the direction of his priestly advisers, was p er p etua ll y endeavouring to make the age conform to his no tions of Government. Hence the crisis which has been felt, or will be felt, by every other Government that-heti hitherto displayed more of p6Wer than of either virtue or wisdom. 'We should be sorry if the revolutionary spirit which nOW abroad should lead to anarchy; and yet, in some States, such a re sult is to be dreaded. Of all Governments, a ge nuine mob -government, or that which th e G ree k s called an mob-government, is the worst. It has more than the tyranny of the sternest despotism, without any of its dignity. It is continually actuated by the wild fluctuations of unbridled passions, and science, art, virtue, and intelligence, perish under its de grading and desolating influence. To prevent such a state of things - in 'countries where revolution might lead to a total and sanguinary subversion of order and existing institutions, how desirable is it that all just cause of public discontent shoald be met, in quircd into, and remedied, in the first instance !- 1-lint rulers been wise enough to observe the sigm of the limes, and had salutary reforms been adopted in Belgium, in Prussia, in Italy, how much less would the GoVernments of those countries have to dread 'the example* which France has afforded to their subjects, and which now strikes them with so much. terror 1-21forning Herald. POLICE I NTELLIOENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A respectable man applied to the LORD MAYOR for protection against the annoyance which his Wife was constantly inflicting upon him. " She had, he said; done him some time ago, as all ilia public prints could testify, the greatest injury a wife could do her !instead! by going off with another man, and she now continued to perseCute him, although she had not the alightest vlaim upon Wm either legally or otherwise, a regular divorce . a mcnsa et !hero having taken Place as soon as possible aft, r the de tection of her infidelity. The circumstances of the case were peculiarly die tressieg, for the husband was fond, domestic, and industrious, and the connection promised to be a very happy one. An attachment to gin, however, grew up in the unfortitorre woman, and was 'en couraged by some of the old 'g►ossips of the neigh- bouthood in which they resided,.and this propensity exposed her to temptations of another kind which she had not sufficient command of herself to resist. Her husband.. did 'all.that man could do to conquer the infernal craving., for drink, which , made her a theme of laughter and contempt to all her former acquaintances, and finding that all his services were useless, and that she would even descend to "lush" with coal-heavers and chimney-sweepers, and after wards give them other proofs of her partiality, .he determined to get rid of her in the most effectual mariner. He accordingly 'commenced a suit in Doctors,'-Commons, and succeeded, and he had the documents and judgment of the President of the Court, showing that there was a perpetual impedi ment to all claims upon hiM.upOn her part. The defendant said it was true the divorce had taken place, but then it was supported by Mae evi• dence; she had never been guilty of infidelity, and those who had poisoned her husband's mind were influenced by some base motives to ruin her. She considered that as she was actually innocent of the adultery of which she was accused, she had a Moral claim at least for support, and she hoped that his Lordship tt•ould see justice done to her. The LORD MAYOR had no 'more to do than to protect .the complainant from assault and othe r . noyonce. The verdict of the Court of Doctors'. Commons bad finally separated the husband and wife, and he mutt arcordingly' adjudicate ay if they had always been strangers to each other. The Complainant—She follows me about, dis gracing me, and threatening to do. me serious. injury. 1 am, however, willing to make her any allowance your Lordship may think proper to mention, although she now, as a destitute person, falls into the hands of the parish, according to usage. The complainant then fixed upon a certain sum to be paid weekly by him, to keep the defendant still from the disgrace of being it' pauper in a workhouse, and left - the Justice. room in great apparent trouble. The woman has a countenance which proweronsi days most have elevated into beauty, but the daemon of drum-drinking had blasted the feminine expres sion, and the. raw and watery eye, and discoloured nose, fully indicated what she had had that meriting for her breakfast. A man named 'Stevens was brought before the LORD MAYOR, by John Forrester, the officer, charged upon suspicion of having committed a robbery. Forrester stated, that as he was going along Little Bell-alley, he saw the prisoner trudging along with a bag full of sometlung. The prisoner, the moment he saw witness, of whose profession he was not at all ignorant, 'tuned short into a public-house, and i made down to the wa t er -Cl oset n the yard, where lie waited for some time. Ile then walked gently our, and was sliding out of the house, wken wit ness thrust Isis unwelcome face right before him, and made him almost leap out of his skin. The prisoner wits diets taken to the Compter, after hav ing assured the officer that he had purchased the contents of the bug, which contained a quantity of brown pelisse cloth. The Loau Mityort—Prisoner, where did you get this cloth ?—The prisoner made a low bow to the Lord Mayor, and said, " My Lord, may I most re-: spectfully beg that you will be so condescending as not to insist on my giving an answer to that clues.; tion ? I have a particular objection to say anything on the subject now." The LORD MAYOR—Oh, certainly, I shall riot ask you to say any thing you do not _lsiah to say; but it was my duty, when you were found carrying 1 cloth that does not belong to you, to ask you where you got it. Prisoner--My Lord, I repeat my re quest. In a few tiffs, I assure you, II shall be able to account for this eonsarn, but I cannot now. I hope your Lordship will be so goad_ us to excuse me. The communication shall he made in a day or two. May I hope for your Lordship's indulgence ? The LORD MAYOR, who was struck with the overwhelming politeness of the prisoner, bowed to hiM arid said, " Oh, I I all means, Sir. .Pray, on what day would it be convenient to you to snake the communication you speak of ?" Prisoner—Why, my Lord, I shall leave that to you. The LORD MAYOR—Oh, by no means ; you must appoint the time yourself. Perhaps the latter end of the week would answer your convenience. Pri soner—l thank your Lordship exceedingly. That will exactly do. The LORD MAYOR---I am, I assure you, very happy to. hear it. Pray, what day shall we mime?

The New Police adopted a plan of detecting the numerous thieves who annually frequent Bartholo mew fair to levy contributions on the pockets of the fair-going gentry, and which succeeded to ad miration. Throwing of r their uniform, they dressed themselves in plain doilies, and mixing with the crow d, we r e wholly undistinguighable 'from those g round them. By these means the thieves were thrown en off their guard; th e y wer e p re tty well a cquainted tirY i with the persons of the city officers, mnj expected that the New Police dress would be sufficient signal of the approach of officers of that establishment; but this manoeuvre of several of thut body took the pickpockets entirely by surprise. The consequence was, that in many instances they attempted to pick pockets with imaginary security, in the very presence of police constablia, and in one case positively attempted thepocket of a policeman. A great number or young_thieves were detected,and brought to this office in the custody of the police constables; but their interference 'in the City not appearing altogether agreeable to the city autho rities, and Mr. Alderman Winchester having ex. pressed himself very strongly on the subject on Monday last, yesterday not one of the New Police made his appearance. BOW-STREET. yesterday a yowl female of 'rather interesting appearance was brought before Sir R. Brion, by a police constable, charged with riotous and disor derly conduct in the &rand on the preceding night. Sir R. Mum asked if the defendant was known at the oilier as a prostitute ?---Dodd, the gaoler, did n et remember to have seen her before. Th e constable who. had taken her into,. custody sa id . , she 4 - as in the habit of walking the Strand at n i g h t , but site was in general a very well-conducted &d. On the present occasion she had taken too much liquor, which occasioned her to - misbehave a s she had done. serjettra 111 ‘Sweettey said, that the poor girl was very much to be pitied, as he knew that necessity and not lice will had driven her upon the town. He hail heard that she supported her brother, a child "only eight years; old; by her prostitution. Sir R. BIRNIE asked the defendant if -this werd really the case ?•—The defendant replied that it wa quite true. Her father and mother' were both dead avid after the decease of the latter, which took Place: about eight months ago, she was forced to walk the streets, in order to support her poor little brother untl herself ? Sir R. 13mNIE asked her if she knew to parish she belonged ?—The defendant belonged to' St. Peter's, Cornhill, where her father had lived in respectability for many years. • Sir It. BinmE—And is "it possible that your story can be known to the parish officers Surely they cannot be aware that yott suppnrt I your infant b rot h er f rom your m ise ra bl e ea r n i ngs ?; —The defeodant said, that the parish allowed her half-a-crown a week towards the support of her brother, and to that sum she added 4s. 6d, weekly, which she cheerfully paid, to contribute to his main tenance, feeling that she was now his only protector, and so long as she had a morsel of bread he should share it with her. Here the poor girl became sen sibly . affeeted. Sir R. BILtNIE observed, that this, indeed, was rare instance of virtuous feeling in a situation of IVe which was supposed to exclude it. The defendant was then asked her father's name, and the businesi he had followed. She declined, however, to -dis close any particulars connected with her family, and merely Said, that her father had once been in a very extensive_ way of business in t h e ne i g hb our h oo d o f Cornitill,until , he became reduced by repeated mis fortunes, and subsequently failed, which event was soon after followed by his death. In answer to further inquiries, the defendant said that she had committed the charge of her brother to a poor but respectable : martian who - had . known her in better days, as she did not wish that the poor child shouhL be a witness of her unfortunate course of life. She had great hopes, however, of getting him into tile Orplow School ; as soon as that object we. accomplished, she had determined to reform her life and go to service. s., Sir R. BIRNIE Observed, that the difficulty of getting a boy into the Orphan School was greater titan was generally imagined, and he feared in the present instance that the attempt would be hopeless. The Magistrate, after expressing his regret that he had no means of serving the defendant, advised her to make known her situation to some of the city Magistrates, and also to the overseers of the pariih to which she belonged, anti he was quite sure that her appeal would not be made - in vain. Serpent M'Sweeney said that the constable ha I no wish to press the charge against the girl, and she wa4 consequently , discharged, expressing her deter mination to follow the Magistrate's advice. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mrs. Mary Burke, the person who caused James Ryan to be apprehended On the charge of murder, complained to Mr. BROUGHTON, that notwithstanding an arrangement entered into before him on Saturday, the parish offieercof Shoretlitch refused to relieve her in any other -way than by taking her into their workhouse, to which she bud an insuperable objection. Mrs. Burke has lived separateirom her husband for eleven years past, and it appeared that Mr. Burke, who is very respectably situated as a'Coln mercial traveller, was summoned to the Guildhall Justice-room, in the City, about three months sit*, by the parish officers of St. Sepulchre, where his wife then lived and became chargeable, and an agreement was made by Mr. Harmer on his part, to pay the wife 78. a week. The money was accord ingly paid for some time through Mr. Harmer's office, but had lately been stopped, and the wife applied to the overseers of Shoreditck, in which parish she is now domiciled. - Mr. Iturke said he :had been plundered and cinclly used by his wife, who was the most aban doned of women. She had been living in adaltery with several men, and amongst others with the man Ryan whoM she now accused of murder, and whom it had been intended to call as a witness. Mrs. 13torkeYou knoW you've been transported for seven years for running away with a woman with fortune of 25,0001. and marrying her. Mr. finoupwroN—lt is useless to keep the mat ter up here any longer.. 'rite law says that a man who ►s able to support his wife, and refuses to do it, shall be committed to the House of Correction as a vagabond, and kept to hard labour; and unless you keep your wife from being chargeable to the parish you must be committed ?—The defendant, after some talk with the parish officers, said he had Jammed with them, and he then left the ace. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mr. BRAND'S LUNACY.—Mr. Charles Dunne, surgeon, of No. 13, Manchester-buildings, 'Westmin ,.ter-bridge, appeared before Mr. MAnniorr, to make an application to him respecting Mr. Brand, the gentleman who w as d ec id e d to b e insane a few days ago by the verdict of a Jury. Mr. Dunne was appointed by Mr. Brand as hip medical adviser, and had received permission of the Commissioners at the investigstion to have free access to that gentleman. Since the verdict of the Jury, Mr. Brand had been under the care of his keepers at Harris's Hotel, Parliament-itteet, and he had received two letters from him, expressing wi,h to see him. lie had called accordi ng ly . a t t h e hotel, but was r e f use d permission by Mr. llarrisohe proprietor, to see Mr. Brand; and such iirs the violent language used. towards him, that he consi dered himself in personal danger. from their threats. Mr. Dunne here handed to the Magistrate the two letters alluded to from Mr. Brand of which the following are copies : Dear Sir,--1f you can make it convenient to call on me between six and eight this evening, I shill be glad to sea you. I hope the ruffianly trettment You experienced will be properly punished. Ido not think it will -be re pcated after the application 1 made to the Court. • main, yours truly, " J. BRAND, Harris's Hotel, Parliamentitieet, Sept. 4." (Addresses!' to Mr. Dunne.) 4, Mr. Brand will thank Mr. Dunne to call an him as soon as possible. He will be on the other side of the house, as his room has been filled with stench. " Harris's Hotel, Sept. G." (Addressed as I,cfore.) I%lr. Dunne wished to know if the Magistrate could not interfere, null give an 'order that he might see Mr. Brand. Mr. MARRIOTT_ had not the power to grant an order to see Mr. Brand, but every man had a tight to take an officer if there was any danger of a breach of the pea Ce. Mr. Dunne thanked the . Magistrate for his, atten. lion, and left the office with Drew, one of the officers of the establishment, to endeavour to obtain an in terview with Mr. Brand. On arriving at the hotel, Mr. Harris refused Mr. Dunne admittance, and said he should not see Mr. Brand, who was now mad, without an order from the Lord Chancellor. After some high words, finding there was no possibility of seeing the unfortunate gentleman, Mr. Minns went home with the intention of making an applicatioa to the Lord Chancellor, who is expected in tow') to-morrow (this day.) Mr. Dunne, it may be recollected, was examined by the Com m i ss i oners on b ehalf of Mr. Brand, and gave it as his opinion that he was of.perfcctly sound mind.

After considerable trouble they traced the defendant io fresh lodgings; and, on going there yesterday morning. one of the first objects which met her eye was . a dress of her sister's lying on a chair.
