Morning ... 0 minutes after G evening ... 19 minutes after G. lesion with other parties, or by a course of individual deception and contrivance to cheat and rob the cre ditor, the debtor should not incur the same penalty that the law attaches to conspiracy with intent to de fraud, for example, as we are far from arguing that the law should not carefully discriminate between impru dence or improvidence, and swill deliberate practices on other people's property. But to desire to uphold a law which visits upon the crime of a designed and intentional cheating of others, and upon an inability to pay others their just claims, which results either from uncontrollable misfortune, or sheer indiscretion, or even a vicious but thoughtless habit of extravagant living, does seem like a proposition for returning to those days of a barbarous jurisprudence, in which pecuniary amercement was the one principle of punishment adhered to by our Saxon ancestors. But we wrong those ancestors by this comparison. For at least their tariff of legal fines and compensa tions was determined by a scale, whereas the amount of the amercement accurately increased with the enormity of the crime for which it was exacted: The iniquity of our law of imprisonment for debt is the very wantonness of its: inconsistency. It is administered on a scale which is accurately disproportionate ;—which carefully inverts the scheme of a compensating retribution—which reduces the penalty exactly as the character of the offence is aggravated in its intensity. Imprisonment for debt is the terrible vengeance of property against poverty; but it is the stronghold from which insolent fraud defies the penal visitation of law. A wretched, broken down, deserted, ruined man—an obscure gentle - man,or a petty tradesman, or a small farmer—a generous friend whose confidence has been abused by the party - for whom he has rashly* become the responsible se curity; a man of letters excluded by circumstances., which he has failed in the struggle to overcome, from the favoured circles of botAsellers and editors who absorb the public patronage into their own peculiar cliques; a professor of sciences or arts upon which the fashion or the folly of the day has turned an unfavouring eye ;—these, and such as these, form the great staple of that population which crowds our debtors' prisons. Because they have the money wherewith to meet the debts they have contracted, we carefully segregate them from the world, on daily and hourly commerce with which their livelihood has always depended, in order (at first sight, it might be thought) that they may have no chance of satisfying the creditors at whose suits they are incarcerated. In proportion to their honesty of purpose is their irksomeness of posi tion ; and to this irksomeness of position, the moral and physical prostration which we invoke to the speediest destruction of all their energies of mind and body, in the wasting, dreary, monotonous torpor of a prison. Now, the bold debauchee who, having made up his mind to undergo a certain term of confinement rather than discharge his just engagements, and finds, in the habitual indolence and licentious conversation, ample amends for the loss of that freedom of action which he never valued ; the fraudulent bankrupt, who has still the command of secreted moneys or pro perty which he has abstracted from the assets that should be in the hands of his creditors ; the gambling attorney, who, having neglected the interests of one class of clients, and plundered the property of others, is but undergoing the restraint upon which he has coolly calculated as the price to be paid for his mal versations and delinquencies; the former denizen of the turf, or patron of the ring, or betting man, who, having secured the stakes he stood to win at the last races, or fights, or steeple-chases, has well deliberated over the greater advantage to be derived from a few weeks or months incarceration, than from paying the losses he has incurred to others at whose suit he is im prisoned ;—these are the class to whom imprisonment for debt is a refuge, not a terror—a benefit, not a punishment —a natural incident, not a moral cala mity. Until within the last month or so, when a most wise and benevolent interposition of the Legis ture has set free the individuals confined for sums not exceeding 201., you might almost have inferred the relative quality and character of debtors from the amount of the debts for which they were detained. The smaller sums would be found to be owing, as a general principle, by the purely unfortunate ; , the larger, for the most part, by the dishonest and the de signing speculator on " credit." Considering, as we do. that i,u,nanity in an immediate torm, and , to the cause of all social happiness and order in its ulti mate operation by Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill, will greatly outweigh some few isolated instances. in which the guilty misconduct of the debtor may be found to have been rewarded by the emancipation of his person, and the equitable claims of the creditor to have been virtually annihilated through this grace to the debtor ; we have perused with pain and disap pointment the reported proceedings at a meeting held on Monday, at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house. This meeting consisted of solicitors summoned " for .the purpose of considering the mode best adapted to pro tect the profession from the aggressions and inter ference of unqualified persons, likely to ensue under the new Insolvent Debtors' Act, " publicly recom mended by Lord BROUGHAM." The solicitors of London, as a body, are no doubt a highly respectable and eminently useful, and an honourable branch of the profession of the law in England. But it is a marvel to us how they should so long have patiently slumbered over the notorious malpractices—the grind ing,technical, pe t t if ogging chicanery and combinations Of that legion-like community among them, who, almost every week, by the exposure of their nefarious practices as " discounting attorneys," as go-betweens for titled spendthrifts, or swindling, speculative traders, and unsuspected professional firms of usurers and extortioners ; as human vultures who scent from afar the spoils and the feast which modern profligacy is so constantly preparing for their talons in the excesses of youthful extravagance, or titled dissipation, or infatuated credulity—who, almost every week, we say, are thus challenging the scorn and arousing the indignation of the public. It is a marvel to us that. the solicitors of London only turn out against these mysterious "aggressions," and these dreadful "unqualified" persons, whoever they may be, when Lord BROUGHAM'S Act threateni to withdraw hundreds, aye thousands of wretched debtors, from the comprehensive fangs of those bills of costs, and detainers, and the rest of' all those legalised methods of tormenting the tormented which the good old practice of the dear departed old law so much delighted to supply ! We should be glad to find ourselves mistaken, but we must suppose that this was the "motive" of these gentlemen's opening ov • er ture at Gray's Inn Coffee-house. The worthy Chairman commenced his address by a rather angry fling at the incorporated Association called the Law Society," for no more valid reason, as it seems to us, than that that Society has not turned out against Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill of relief for debtors of 201. and under. It was described as consisting of the " more aristocratic members of the profession." (Aristocratic attorneys ! GOD help us, what can they be like ?) 'Well, no doubt this is a fault in the con stitution of the Law Society. But here be others : "It did not adequately represent the bulk of the profession ;" and again —here's the rub—" It ma d e little effort to oppose the measures calculated to de grade and injure the general body." 'What can these be? Why, Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill, and all others that reduce fees and simplify proceedings —of course. "The present meeting had met to form a protection society." For whom ? For victimised clients ? Alas, no ! For the coming dragon's teeth—the fatal em bryo solicitors—the infant aristocracy of the thriving houses of Doe and Roe—the long, long line of Latitat ! " There were few professions," he said, "of which the privileges ought to be more respected.' (A pelitio principii, this, with a vengeance!) " The duty of the new society would be to protect the pro fession"—(little ducks and lambs—they need protec tion)—" from the innovation of self-styled legal re formers." There, Lord BROUGHAM ; keep down at Brougham Castle. Your Lordship can never survive that vapulation. Yo ur tg occupation's gone." At the same time, we are curious to learn whom this Chairman and his supporters would be content to dub a " legal reformer?' Some high mechanical possibly, wh o s h all some day discover the gaeritliuosf drawing out pleas and bills of costs from the most in significant elements t o t h e interminable length into which a wire-drawer now coaxes a single penny weight of gold. But the Chairman having thus ex perimented on the feelings of his hearers, seems to have thought it time to practise a little on their credulity. "The Association would endeavour to procure every really useful and practical reform in A correspondent of the Preston Chronicle observes, in the course of some remarks on the opposition lately offered by the Bishop of LONDON to Sunday railway travelling :—" On the last Sabbath about two thou sand people went to Fleetwood in third-class car riages, and from about twelve to twenty persons were employed in the locomotion of this nu merous party, which is not quite one to a hundred. I remember some years ago seeing his Lordship of London, then Bishop of Chester, come to preach on a Sunday morning at Preston church ; and though he had only two or three hundred yards to go, he had his carriage, two horses, and two or three servants employed." This is a very edifying remi niscence, but one, we fear, that will not be particu larly palateable to the Right Reverend Prelate, whose great object of late years seems to have been, to put himself forth to the world as a model of apostolical humility. If we may credit the statements constantly made by the good Bishop in his letters, sermons, and Parliamentary speeches, no one is a greater friend to the humbler classes of society than he is—no one has their interests more deeply at heart —no one is more amiably solicitous that their com forts and their amusements should, on all occasions, be provided for. As Sir ROBERT PEEL is a free-trader " in the abstract," so is the Bishop of LONDON an apostolical Prelate "in the abstract." In theory, his benevolence and forbearance towards his fellow creatures, especially those of the humbler and poorer class, know no bounds. His love for them is deep and comprehensive as the ocean ; and night and day —so runs the tenour of his numerous sermons, speeches, &c.—he is unceasingly engaged in schemes for the furtherance of their temporal and spiritual wel fare. Honest lago, it may be remembered, professed that he "was nothing if not critical," and in like manner honest BLOMFIELD—or " CHARLES JAMES LONDON," as he delighteth to intitule himself —pro fesses that he is " nothing if not tolerant." Thus is it with him in the v_ but hrsou atptuhi the (sag,. na rQEg p rac t ice ? Here, the speculative philanthropist r.C1.3 exhibits himself as the cold, officious, arbitrary High-Churchman, without one particle of bonhommie or forbearance in his nature; and who seems to take a perverse pleasure in interfering with the harmless recreations of his humbler fellow-creatures. Are a party of poor people seen travelling from necessity, or for amusement, by a railway on the Sabbath, the Bishop is instantly in arms at this—in his purblind view of the case—culpable neglect of religion, and instantly gets up in the House of Lords to denounce, and, if possible, put a stop to, all Sunday railway tra velling Are a party of toil-worn London artisans, to whom fresh air and healthful exercise are novelties only to be enjoyed one day in the seven, seen availing themselves of their Sabbath leisure, to indulge in an excursion on the Thames, not only does the Bishop stand for hours together at the windows of his palace : at Fulham, with his ghostly nose flattened against the pane, watching the irreligious scamps with looks of the grimmest displeasure, but he hastens to de nounce their guilt in public, and to get such a Bill passed through Parliament as shall hare the effect of driving every living thing from the river on Sunday except the fishes, over whom, fortu nately, he has no episcopal jurisdiction. In finite are the :contrivances to which of late years this restless, meddlesome, intolerant Prelate has had recourse, in order to abridge the harmless Sabbath recreations of the people, and thereby render their condition still more wretched than it now is. He does not see that by putting a stop to Sunday railway travelling, by exorcising the Sunday rural walk, and shutting up the village ale-house, he drives the poor, almost as a matter of necessity, to the stifling tavern coffee-room or the demoralizing gin -palace; but imagines no doubt—with the infatuation common to intolerant priestcraft—that if the poorer classes be deprived of all recreation on the Sabbath, they will, as a matter of course, rush in droves to Church, just as if people could be made pious by Act of Parliament ! Church, indeed, seems to be our excellent Prelate's sole specific for every species of social or political evil. He holds " more Church" to be a certain and universal cure, just as Doctor SANGRADO, in " Gil Bias," held bleeding and hot water to be an infallible remedy. Are the operatives in a state of general des titution ? Give them "snore Church," quoth our Episcopal Doctor ! Subscriptions are all well enough in their way, and much may be said in favour of providing the poor with employment; but to provide them with "'more Church" is the thing; and full of this remedial scheme, the ghostly " CHARLES JAMES LONDON " insists on the erection of upwards of fifty bran-new churches in his diocese, which he contends will effectually put an end to all the distresses of his poorer flock ; though every impartial man sees that the chief result of the scheme will be, to increase prodigiously his own power and patronage, though this of course is a circumstance that has never once entered into "CHARLES JAMAS LONDON'S" calcu lation !

The questions referred to the House of Lords on the Irish State Trials may now be regarded as settled. The Judges have given their opinions ; they are unani mous, with the exception of the two Tory Judges, but, of course, they will have no influence with the House of Peers. Baron PARKE is an excellent Judge, though it is singular that, in two important questions, he has chosen to differ from his colleagues—men of the first eminence in the law, and the majority of them never suspected either of partiality or defect of legal know ledge. It is, however, a good set-off. The Tories are trying to make themselves popular in Ireland, and these Judges may possibly imagine that this opposition to the verdict of their colleagues may have a good effect. They arc miserably mistaken. Two out of nine or ten are nothing. They know well that the House of Lords will pay every attention to their opinion, but at,the same time say, " We must be guided by the general decision, and the Writ of Error must be nega tived. It has altogether been a most bungling busi ness. The Judges, according to the Writ of Error, had no means of judging the most important points. They had only some extraneous matters of law to de cide, and with the usual technicality of the profession they confined themselves to mere dry details, without entering upon the question of justice or injustice. Mr. O'CoNmates fate, however, is now sealed. The House of Lords, which meets this day, will discuss the subject. We shall hear speeches from Lord BROUGHAM, Lord DENmAN, Lord LYND HURST, and L or d C AMPBELL; possibly some of them of great and unnecessary length ; but, whatever they say, the result will be this—the Writ of Error is negatived, so that after a great display of justice, and an appeal against a sen tence in full operation, Mr. O'CoNNzu, and his friends will find themselves in the position in which they were left by the fighting Irish Attorney. General and the bigoted Irish Bench. what Sir ROBERT PEEL may do is a question of futurity, and of little importance. He may advise her -MAJESTY to remit the remainder of the sentences, to which her MAJESTY was from the beginning opposed; but wi that conciliate the Irish, or compensate for any one of the grievances of which they justly complain ? Mr. O'CoNNALL will issue from his prison only to he more worshipped. We should have thought that at this time of day no man, or set of men, could be found to uphold the jus tice, expediency, or morality of the punishment of debt by imprisonment. We advert, of course, to the general and abstract question. For ourselves, we are as far from contending that in cases where debts have been contracted with a dishonest purpose —where an Unprincipleii design has obviously been formed by col- TIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, :844. the law which would enable a poor man to get, aid render the rich man more amenable to, justice !" " The Sacristan, he sa y s no wo rd to i n di ca t e a d ou bt, But puts his thumb up to his nose and—spreads his fingers out." served for M. BRu&r. The latter placed the ex- Consul on board one of those vessels before he de livered him up to his countrymen. If we are to exhibit ourselves to those savages as bar barous as themselves, it is needless for us to have gone thither." There is great truth in this admission, for it must have appeared to the natives that the hostility between Protestants and Catholics said little for the common religion of both, and that the boasted civilisation of Europe was a mere mockery, when among the first of its fruits was the bombardment of their peaceable homes. We may therefore hope that this storm has blown over, and that M. GUIZOT is prepared to make such repara tion as will satisfy the British Government. It is painful, however, to reflect that such a contemptible occurrence on the other side of the globe might hare led to a general European war. The French Go vernment, if we are to believe certain journals, are disposed to show moderation in their demands for re paration from the Emperor of MOROCCO. It is said that, notwithstanding the success of Marshal Bu- GEAUD and the Prince DE JOINVILLE, the French have not risen in their demands, and will only require the fulfilment of the conditions first proposed. If these statements are founded on facts, there will be a speedy settlement of the question. LOUIS PHILIPPE, by this policy, may boast that he has afforded his son an opportunity of successfully displaying his naval skill and bravery, and Marshal BUGEAUD the glory of having defeated a Moorish army with one third of their numbers. He may then visit the Queen of ENGLAND with the prestige of victory and the om emblems of p eace. We cannot say that a ll thi s tin th e warlike appearances an d th e i r commotion—all peaceable termination may have had some personal and family objects in view, but it cannot well be denied that the great and prime actor in them has a very long head. M. TIIIERS'S paper, too, is becoming peaceable. It admits that the British Consul, Mr. Hwy, in his negotiations with the Emperor of Morocco, was acting 'with perfect good faith, and that he was urging on the EMPEROR the same con ditions as those proposed by France herself. On Sunday that journal published a letter from the banks of the Isly, dated Aug. 18th, four days after the battle. The substance of the letter is as follows : HONE Y AND COMMERCIALNEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. Stocks closed quietly this afternoon, but there was still an absence of general activity. Consols were 983 99 for Money, and. 99?,- for Account. The Unfunded Debt remained as in the morning, and in the heavy in vestments there was no alteration.

An acffertisemint has appeared in the columns of The Sun announcing..a large sale of foreign provisions. A public inspection took place this morning, at the sale rooms, in• Monument-yard, and on all hinds it was ad mitted that the bulk of the foreign provisions were ex cellent. Many additional improvements are in progress as to the mode in • which provisions will in future be cured for sale in our markets. From Nova Scotia we hay, the following laconic speech of Lord Falkland, on the prorogation of the Legislative Assembly : " Mr. President' and Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council ; " Mr. Speaker and- Gentlemen of the House of Assembly " I thank you for the expedition with which you have dispatched the important business that, in obedience to the instructions of her Majesty's Government it became my duty to bring before you, and I have much pleasure in dismissing you to your ordinary avocations." The Shobroohe (Lower Canada) Gazette, states—" We are glad to learn that the final arrangements have been made with a body of competent engineers to carry into immediate effect the contemplated survey of a railroad from the Province Line in Stanstead to Montreal, and that a beginning will be made in the course of next week." Lower Canada is at the present moment in a highly prosperous and tranquil state. From Gibraltar we learn that a proclamation has been received there, desiring all Moors who had fled from Tangiers on the approach of the French fleet to return, perfect security being guaranteed. A rising market has prevailed for the British Secu rities to-day. Consols for Money and the Account have reached 99&. The Commissioners bought 5,000/. Consols at 99g. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is still heavy, at 735. Bank Stock opened at 1991, but after wards fell to 199. India Stock has been sold at 281 for the Account.

The Society is "to prosecute all persons not duly qualified to practise as attorneys who shall infringe the provisions of the Act of Parliament relating to that body." The Chairman's speech terminated with some pop-gunning at poor Lord BROUGHAM for his "clap-trap phi lanthrophy," and some impertinent reflections, in very bad taste, on that noble person for cutting down attorneys' fees and costs; in other words, " for beginning, after being elevated to a high position by the profession" (so that "aristocratic attorneys"—not Kings, nor yet Lord Chancellors, confer high judicial rank), "to attempt to abuse and revile the source of his greatness and his riches." Our readers have possibly by this time had enough of this exhibition of vulgarity and spleen. Yet we cannot forbear from inviting their sympathy in the horror with which we have read a Mr. GODDARD'S statement that "England and Wales alone . contain 11,000 attorneys !" Well may the bulk of our population be litigious, poor, and unhappy. Shade of FREDERICK the GREAT I will not this appalling fact revivify the mouldering hand which was once pledged to so terrible a "short way" ,with lawyers ! " They contribute to the revenue as their clerkship fees 1,200,000/., on admission to prac tice 250,0001., and from certificates, 100,0001. an nually." Can Sir ROBERT PEEL gravely reckon on keeping up the public income at a prosperous scale when it is supplemented so largely from such sources ? And if such a body want " protection," forsooth, what must be the desolate and desperate condition of the men, women, and children, the widows and orphans, out of whose wants or misfortunes--from whose do mestic misery arid privation, so large a portion of this large sum for the mere professional license to practise—is annually drawn ? 'We suspect the " aristocratic portion" of the profession will think that Mr. W.= has been very unnecessarily eloquent in calling for a society of." protection." " You are aware that we have captured the camp fur niture belonging to the son of the Emperor. In his tent was found a casket containing his letters. Several offi cers were employed to decipher them, and immediately afterwards they brought to the Marshal a letter from Muley Abderahman to his son, in which he recounted the mission of the English Consul, Drummond Hay, the advice he gave him, and the conditions he offered. They were precisely the same as those demanded by the French Government, and a French Consul could not have held more dignified or more firm language. No doubt, the British Government by acting thus proved how much interest they took that our differences with the Emperor should be speedily terminated, but we must acknowledge that they acted with the most perfect can dour. The letters of Muley Abderahman proved, more. over, that the Marshal was right in requesting the Prince de Joinville to strike hard. The strongest alarm is ex pressed in every paragraph." The French Funds declined a little on Sunday. The closing price of the Three per Cents. was 80f. 70c., being a decline of about 20 centimes as compared with the price on Saturday. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER RAILWAY. Yesterday the first general meeting of this Railway Company, which has been just established, was held at the London-bridge terminus, at which Marwood Kelly, Esq., took the chair. The Secretary read the report of the Board of Directors, which stated the steps that had been adopted for the formation of the Society, and obtaining the required Parliamentary powers, by which it appeared that the chief delay and obstruction which had been caused in the progress of the formation of the line was owing to the number of shares required by the Act of Parliament not being yet taken up. The Chairman then said, in reference to the present state and prospects of the Company, that they were unable to proceed with the formation of the line as yet, owing to the length of time occupied by the negotiations with the Duke of Norfolk with respect to the right of crossing the river close by the Shoreham terminus. His Grace had erected a chain-bridge near that spot, and by a clause in the Act he was entitled to charge a toll upon all persons crossing the river within a mile on either side of his bridge. The Company was consequently compelled to enter into an agreement with his Grace to pay the sum of 42,0001. for the right of running this line direct to the Li.U.,•••• "laa to be a most exorbitant and extravagant sum to demand for the privilege, and afforded another strong. proof of the grasping avarice of the aristocracy. The Chair man admitted that the demand WAS large, but they were compelled by necessity to accede to it. Mr. Henderson, one of the Directors of the London and Brighten Railway Company, contended that, consi dering the large sum expended by the Noble Duke in the erection of the chain-bridge, the sum demanded was an equitable one. After a lengthened discussion the report was adopted, and the Chairman moved a resolution, to carry into effect a proposition, on the part of the Brighton Company, to take up the unap propriated shares, having at the same time an option to take a lease of the line at 44- per cent. ; which was opposed by Mr. Scott, who move d , " That the consideration of th e su bj ect should be post poned for a fortnight."as an amendment, Ultimately, however, he consented to withdraw his amendment, and the original motion was carried unanimously. A resolu tion was next passed, by which the Directors were empowered to adopt such steps as would be most be neficial for the extension of the railway from Chi chester to Portsmouth ; after which a vote of thanks was proposed, and adopted u nan i mously, to the Direc tors for their exertions in p ass i ng the B i ll through Parliament, and the meeting separated.

Keeling and Ilunt, the enterprising caterers of those generous viands with which our transatlantic brethren tempt the English appetite. We were tempted, like many of our me tropolitan brethren, to wend our way to the epicurean shades of the " vulgar East," in order to ascertain what "Heaven had in store for us." To the courtesy of " the firm," we are indebted for much informa tion ; but as a mere analysis of it would occupy a greater space than we can possibly afford to give, we must content ourselves by assuring our very good friend, " the public," that its time will not be mis used if it attends at this very important sale. DEATH OF SIR PATRICK MAXWELL, BART., OF SPRINORELL.—it is with feelings of the most painful re- Sret that we recor d t h e su dd en and melancholy death of ir Patrick Maxwell, Bart., of Springkell, which took place on Tuesday morning, about nine o'clock. On Motiday night Sir Patrick was returning from Spring kell to Ktioekhill, where he was residing, when, on the road between Kirtlebride and Ecclefechan, either his horse had fallen with him (which we are informed it had done a few days'previous), or some other cause not ascer tained,. he was th rown on t h e roa d, and received a severe injury, which r en d ere d h im i nsens ibl e .

On Sunday, the King of the French and his sister, Madame Adelaide, accompanied by Generals Aymard and Friant, and the Count de Strada, left Neuilly at noon for the Tuileries, and returned in the afternoon to dinner. His Majesty is shortly to proceed to Eu. All the persons who are to accompany his Majesty are stated to have already received orders to prepare for their de parture. The Egyptian Princes, Hussein Bey, the third son of Mehemet Ali, and Ahroet Bey, the eldest son of Ibrahim Paella, reached Paris last Thursday. They are both about 18 years of age. The Duke of Glucksberg has arrived at Cadiz. The Constitutionnel says that he is the only one empowered to negotiate between Morocco and France, and that the ne gotiations will probably take place at Tangiers. The Toulonnala publishes a letter from Oran of the 21st of August, in which it is stated that the effect of the battle of the 14th was such on the Moorish army, that it is in fact dissolved. The Marshal is, however, not to march upon Fez, but now considers the campaign over for the season, and is ts return to Algiers. The Austrian Government is about to send a small squadron to the coast of Morocco. The National states that the following ships of war are to be launched in the French dockyards during the present year ;—The Poursuivant, the Psyche, and the Pomona frigates ; the Olivier brig, the Topaze galliot, the Seine tender, three steam frigates, the Vauban o f 550 horse-power, the Sane of 450, and another of the same power ; two steam corvettes, the Cassini and the Titan of 220 horse power, and the Nerve' and Australie, of 160 horse power. The same journal asserts that the losses sustained by the Emperor of Morocco since the commencement of hos tilities with France are estimated at 30,000,000 of francs, and this loss is every day increased by the cessation of commerce, and the impossibility of collecting taxes. On the afternoon of the 16th there was a fall of snow in the vicinity of Rhense, on the Rhine. The Journal Vorwarta, published at Paris, which has of late passed all bounds of decency, quite contrary to the promises of its former editor, is prohibited at Carts ruhe. One of the latest numbers contains an apology for the assassin Tschech. An ordinance, dated the 22d inst., announces that the Duke of Brunswick, following the example of the Prince, has assumed the title of Highness instead of that of Se rene Highness, which he has hitherto borne. LAW AND POLICE. A young man, named George Thomas, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wood at Guildhall, charged with knowingly uttering a counterfeit crown-piece at the office of the Society for Protezting Young Females, in Iron monger-lane. The prisoner had called at the office, asked for the Society's last report, tendered a counter feit five-shilling piece, and asked for the change. As 31 notes, directed to various charitable institutions, re questing copies of their last reports, were found on him, he was remanded in order to give time fur further inquiries. Alfred Dallenger, a porter, charged with burglariously breaking out of the Stirling Castle public-house, in London-wall, and stealing therein two silver spoons and I Is. 6d., the contents of the till, was remanded until Thursday. A surly-looking fellow, named John Vigo, was fined Si. (or, in default of payment, sentenced to two months' imprisonment), at the Clerkenwell Mice court, for a violent assault upon his own father. An application was made to the Magistrates as to the case of Mr. John Stephens Murphy, who stands charged with having occasioned the death of one person, and with having seriously injured three others, by driving over them. Mr. Murphy himself was thrown out of his gig, and so much hurt as to be confined to his house. The Magistrate declined to interfere as Mr. Murphy was not before him. At Lambeth-street, Wm. Stephens, one of the most expert " cracksmen" of the metropolis, was charged with stealing a bag of money, the property of Mr. Cla renfold, the landlord of the Barley-mow, Northampton street, Bethnal-green. The prisoner had been caught in the act of committing the robbery. The police then informed the Magistrate that a more desperate character could not possibly exist than the prisoner. When he first came to the station, he refused to give his name, but he was soon recognised, and it was ascertained that he was wanted for several " put-up" robberies. A bunch of skeleton keys was found on his person, and perhaps London itself could not produce a more experienced thief and burglar. The prisoner was fully committed, with an intimation that he would be brought up again to answer any other charge that might be brought against r him, several other charges being expected. A named Brown was ordered to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace for twelve months at the Marylebone Police-court for having fired a pistol at a tree at Chalk Farm. At Worship-street, Francis Croker was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having obtained by false pretences the sum of 155., and a gold wedding. ring, from a young woman named Mary Judd. The prosecutrix who had been jilted by a young man named employee tneprisoner who represent ei l him self as an attorney, to bring an action for breach of pro mise of marriage against her faithless swain. The pri soner had asked for something on account, and she had deposited with him the wedding-ring as a security. He called shortly afterwards and told her he had com menced proceedings, and had incurred costs to the amount of 155., on being paid which he would restore the ring. She gave him the money, but had never had her ring ; on inquiry, she found no proceedings had been taken. The ring had been pawned by the prisoner. He was remanded until Wednesday. John Wellidge, a horse-dealer, was committed from Union-hall for fourteen days, in default of payment of a fine of forty shillings, for a brutal assault upon an unfor tunate girl, named Mary Burling, whom he had falsely accused of robbing him, At Wandsworth Henry Kent, for stealing fifty-six peaches from the enclosed garden of Mr. Crumpton, Putney-heath, was committed to the House of Correction for two calendar months. William Wilstead, a lighterman, and owner of several sailing barges, was finally examined upon a charge of plundering a barge of coals, and fully committed. Mr. Poynter, the magistrate of Hammersith, granted a warrant for the apprehension of a person calling him self Mr. C. James, who, having taken a furnished house, No. 18, Ladbroke-terrace, Notting-hill, obtained goods on credit from all the tradesmen in the neighbourhood and decamped. James Murray, an errand boy, was convicted, at the Woolwich Police-court, of robbing his master, and sen tenced to six weeks' imprisonment ; and Mary Murray, his mother, who had encouraged him to commit the crime, and received the stolen property, was fined Si., and treble the value of the property, or, in default of payment, committed for three months' hard labour. At the Thames Police-court John Burlinson, a jour neyman in the employ of Messrs. Wainewright and Co., plate-glass manufacturers, in Lamb's Conduit-street, for assaulting three police-constables of the K division, was sentenced to three weeks' imprisonment. His employers, for whom he had worked for fourteen years, without a blemish to his character, prayed Mr. Brod er ip, th e magistrate, to substitute a fine for imprisonment, as such an imprisonment would lead to the loss of his situation, and total ruin ; but the Magistrate was inexorable, and the prisoner was committed.
