SPIRIT OF PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is amusing to witness the conduct of the Con servatives in the unpleasant predicament in which they now find themselves placed. Lord What ncliffe, one of their leaders in the hereditary House, says, that if the Peers have not the people with them, their branch of the Legislature cannot long exist.. his admission 18 worth something, coming as it does from the mouth Of a Tory Lord. It is a tribute of homage to the people which, a few years ago, nothing short of the rack would have extorted from an hereditary legislator of the Conservative class. Then the people were " the swinish multitude," " the unwashed," and so forth ; and the daily practice of the Tory Lords was to treat them, in words as well as by acts, with the most sovereign con tempt. But the march of events, and the force of cir it seems, work miracles, even on the euiristances, can, birth. They have compelled the minds of legislators L'IT Tleople with at least an external Tory Peers to treat the respect, whatever may be the feelings the y en t e rtain t o wards them in their own mincis!. The truth is, that being formerly secure of the Commons; ).)y means of pocket boroughs, they could afford to treat the people with the most marked scorn ; but now that the' "ice of t the country is so far heard as to retnrn a majority (, the Members of the Lower House, the Peers fin' themselves placed in very different circumstances. They now see the policy of assuming, if they do not feel, respect for the people of England. It must be no small triumph to the Reformors to sec the haughty Legislators of the Upper House compelled to stoop so low as openly to court the support of the very humblest classes of operatives. Who would have dreamt of this a few years since ? Certainly not these Tory lord 17ngs themselves. But will the forced humility of the Conservative Peers, in associating with the hard working operatives of Liverpool and other places, be of any avail to them ? . Not the slightest.. Poll the entire working population of England and Scotland , and it will be found that for one that is on the side of Toryism, there are at least five hundred against them. And even of the two or three thousand operatives who profess themselves Conservatives, we doubt if there be a dozen who are so from principle or conviction. The secret of their professions of Toryism will be found in the cogent argument of dependence for their bread on some Conservative employer, or the use of some other underhand influence. The fact is, that a Tory opera tive from conviction would be a moral anomaly. If we could believe that any working man had come to the conclusion that Conservatism was the right poli tical creed for him, there would be no resisting the conclusion, that there was a defect in his upper story. Lord Wharncliffe may, if he please, dignify the two or three thousand operatives, whom circumstances over which they themselves have no controul compel to make a profession of Toryism, with the name of the people of England ;" but he and the other Conserva tive Peers will find, before twelve months elapse, that there is another and very different people of England. Just now the Noble Baron conveniently assumes that the Peers havp the people with them. We have no wish to torment their Lordships before the time by dis sipating the delusion. Let them, by all means, dream on a little longer. They will open their eyes, and awake from their pleasing slumbers in good enough time for the people, if not for themselves. We promise them that before next Session is half finished, the nation will speak in such a voice of thunder as will make the deafest of their Lordships to hear, and that too, as the humble adage has it, on the wrong side of the head.—Morning Advertiser. The Conservative press is accused by the Whig journals of dealing unfairly in its opposition to the principle of the Poor Law Amendment Act. We wish the Whig journals would tell us distinctly what that principle is ? Is it, or is it not, that an individual, in whatever circumstances of helplessness or destitution, who exercises his or her legal right to parochial relief, forfeits by this Act every other civil and social right? If such be the principle of the Act, we can scarcely imagine any mode of warfare against it which would be unfair ; for it is an inhuman and detestable prin ciple. If such be not the principle of the Act, then the Commissioners who pretend to administer it have most greatly exceeded their authority. We leave the advocates of the Act and of the Commissioners to make their choice between these alternatives ; or, if they refuse this, to confess frankly to the world, that, in their liberal opinion, close incarceration, denial of the free air of heaven, interdiction of access to relatives and friends, the putting asunder of those whom God hal joined together, the forcible prevention of the pub lic worship of God, unless in a form and in circum stasces objectionable to the consciences of many per sons, are not violations of the civil and social rights of Englishmen. Such is the real state of the question. — Morning Post. The Whigs, being practised traders in agitation, and having derived great profits from the trade, are very sore about any thing like competition in their fa vourite commodity, and with the jealousy of monopo lists, would have no rivals in that line. They and their Journalists are now very much alarmed, lest their political opponents should agitate upon the subject of that beautiful—that unrivalled specimen of Whig po litical science—the Poor Law Amendment Act. They now find out that agitation is a very bad—a very dan gerous thing. So it always is when it is against the Whigs ; but when it is for them it is quite another sort of thing ; it is a thing to be lauded by Whig Senators, encouraged by Whig Journals, practised by Whig emissaries ! The soul of agitation, whether it becomes embodied in a jacobinical convention in Dublin, or animates the terrible array of 150 Bruin magen hammermen assembled on Newhall-hill, to teach the Lords how to legislate ; or inspires the smoke-enwreathed oratory of the Codgers, of Codgers' Hall; or becomes seditiously magniloquent in the corpus cular fractions of the " three tailors of Tooley-street," —it is in all these, and a thousand other shapes and manifestations, when exerting itself to get the Whigs into place, or to keep them there, a most pro • per and patriotic sort of thing, deserving of all coin inendation and encouragement. But only let agita tion take the other side, and iris a most disagreeable and dangerous practice, if not positively illegal, and deserving of being prosecuted by a Whig Attorney- General, who knows what agitation is, from having practised pretty strongly in that way, on a time, •for the benefit of his party, and the preservation of his place. Within our own recollection the Whigs se lected a British Nobleman to be Viceroy of Ireland, because on a former occasion he addressed to the ex citeable population of that country the emphatic ad vice, " Agitate—agitate—agitate 1" And surely the docile Irish have followed the advice with the most implicit obedience, from that day to this. It is true that Nobleman lived to be the victim of his own ad vice, as the inventor of the brazen bull of Phalaris was made to bear bellowing testimony to the ago nising efficacy of his own invention. Never was there a counsellor of agitation against whom the bat tery of that electrico-popular science was directed with more effect than against the Marquis of Anglesey. Then came new penal - devices—Wing proclamations and Whig Coercion Acts, to catch and punish agitators. Then came prosecutions against the leaders of agitation —even against the very chief of the Councils of those who followed the advice contained in the thrice -repeated trisyllable before mentioned. Agitation was then against the Whigs. It was therefore a crime. But the com pact at Lichfield House was more effectual than State prosecutions. It secured the benefit of Irish agita tion for the Whigs, arid it is now only a lively emo tion of patriotic virtue, which, instead of leading its professors to the docks of Courts of Justice and to dungeons, qualifies them for, the highest and most lu crative appointments under the Crown. Indeed, since Irish agitation has been enlisted in the Whig service —that is, in the service of the ci-devant " base, bloody, and brutal" coercers of agitation, it is necessary for every ambitious applicant for office—every aspiring Barrister, and other " disinterested" candidate fur the Government loaves and fishes, to prepare himself, in some school of agitation—all other qualifications being worthless compared with what he learns there. It 'was only in the last Session of Parliament that Lord Holland edified the House of Lords with a warm and eloquent enlogiutn on agitation, the propriety of establishing normal schools of agitation in Ireland being then, if we recollect right, under discussion. It is true that only two or three years before Lord Holland was as zealously assisting to pass Lord Grey's Coercion Act to crush and extirpate that most admi rable system of agitation, of which, under the Mel bourne auspices, he became the panegyrist. Lord Hol land had also joined Lord Grey in denouncing in the hind's speech the chief Agitator , in whose trade he has since discovered so much to praise, and even to imitate, for he actually agitated the House in favour of agitation. But agitation on the Whig Poor Law Bill is a thing which the Whigs and their journalists view with perfect horror. It actually makes " their hair stand on end," as the inflammatory speeches "of Sir Francis Burdett did the then Tory locks of the sapient Sir Thomas Lethbridge, who has lived to prac tise in that way for himself ; but we suppose he now wears a wig. We told the Whigs and their Journalists sometime ago that, as they were fond of agitation they were likely to have plenty of it on their Poor Law Bill, which is a scandal to a Christian land. It is horrible to think of Lambeth or Shmeditch being agitated unless on behalf of the Whigs. As to the symptoms of rural agitation on the subject, they must be reduced at once, by the sharp medicine of a rural oensdarmerie. The cen tral Board of Bashaws must have their centralized army of policemen. The poor, who will not starve in quiet, or thankfully submit to be imprisoned for life, must be taught by our legislative " philosophers " that the groans of nature arc treasonable when starvation is ac -yaw to law. But we observe that the cries of the cor, afflicteL: poor are now met by the promi se, or the , :-n0 , 7 not which to call it, of a Parliamen thre2t, we '9 we had a Parliamentary inquiry last tary inquiry. the di it stressed agriculturists , and year into the case o. „ . did the suffering farmers of no doubt, the result of England infinite service The have derived as much benefit from it as from Mr. Spi.

LITERATURE, BIOGRAPHY, TRAVELS, NO VELS, &c.—lt is seldom at this early period of the pub lishing season that we have to notice the appearance of so many interesting works as are at present engaging the atten tion of the reading public.' Among others are " The Prince of Canino's Memoirs," " Memorials of Mrs. He mans," " Madrid in 1835," " Hazlitt's Literary Remains," " The Great Metropolis," " Inklings of Adventure," " The Desultory Man," " Mr. Midshipman Easy," " Tales of the Woods and Fields," " Rienzi," by Mr. Bulwer ; " A Pedes trian Tour through England and Wales," " Sir Granville Temple's Travels in Greece," " Japhet in Search of a Father," &c. THE DRESS OF THE LADY MAYORESS.—The mantcau was composed of rich royal purple velvet, splendidly embroidered with gold lama; in a superb pattern. The corsage was cut low, and tight to the shape. The sleeves of white satin, ornamented with puffings of gold-coloured gros de Naples ; they were of small size, and intermixed with blond—super blond manchettes, not so deep as the antique ruffles, terminated the sleeves. The robe was white satin, trimmed with blond, and embroidered in lama acorns and leaves. The corsage ornamented in front in the stomacher style, with narrow gold cord and acorns—a superb cordeliere descended from the ceinture ; the back trimmed with an Elizabethian ruff. Head-dress—feathers and diamonds. White kid gloves, embroidered in gold ; white satin slippers. To BOOK SOCIETIES AND FAMILIES.—We are requested by Mr. Bull, the Librarian, to announce that he - has lately established at his Library a system for supply ing Book Societies, in all parts of the Kingdom, regularly with the New and Standard Works, Reviews and Magazines, for perusal, at a cost to each member of less than One Guinea per annum. Full Particulars, with Terms also for Families, and a copious List of Books, including all the valuable and popular New Works, can be had, or will be sent per post, as a single letter, on application to Mr. Bull, Librarian, 19, Holles-street, Cavendish-square. The French papers mention the death of the Countess Isabelle Theotski Albrizzi, a star in the world of Italian literature, on the 27th of September last, at Venice. She was a Greek by birth, being born at Corfu ; but, like Ugo Foscolo, came early into Italy, the language of which she studied, and afterwards wrote with great beauty and purity. She was twice married, first to Marino, a man of letters, at Venice ; and lastly to the Count. Joseph Albrizzi. She was known to all the' literati of Europe. Her best work was that called Rizatti, which was a series of contem porary portraits sketched by a clever hand. She also ob tained some distinction by her defence of the Mirra of Alfieri against the criticisms of Arteaga. Her character as a clever woman, however, appears to rest more upon her powers of conversation and graceful manners than the pro ductions of her pen. Lord Byron called her " the Madame do Steel of Venice." We regret to learn that the crime of incendiarism has again commenced in the county of Norfolk. On Sunday last, about five o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broken out in the stack yard of a farm belonging to Sir Thomas Hare, Bart., and occupied by Mr. Henry Lemmon, situate at Shuldlitun, near Downham Market. Mr. Lemman was on a visit to a neighbouring farmer at Wimbotsham, when the alarm was given, but within a short period after his re turn the produce of three large wheat stacks was entirely consumed. The fire did not extend itself, the stacks being in an isolated situation. We are happy to add the whole were insured to their full value, although there can be no doubt the fire was the diabolical act of an incendiary, there beine no house near to have occasioned the mischief. The severity of the weather is nowhere more keenly felt in this neighbourhood than in the hills which lie between Macclesfield and Buxton. A poor' woman of the name of Heatheote, a resident of Bran-side, had been to Buxton Fair, which was held on Friday. During the afternoon she got in company with a man named Nadir, with whom she remained drinking until four o'clock on Saturday morn ing. She then started to go home, and on arriving at Dale Head, near Axe-edge, it is supposed from the effects of tho liquor and the intensity of the cold, she fell down and went to sleep. The neighbours finding that she had not re turned, set out to search for her, and on Sunday morning she was found almost covered with snow, and quite dead.— Macclesfield Courier. MAJOR SKINNER AND THE DAMES OF DA MASCUS.—I rambled all the afternoon among these singular scenes, giving nearly as much amusement to those who had never seen the Frank dress before as I received from all that was new to me. It is only six months since an European has been 'able with safety to appear in his own costume, and very few have yet been here to display it. I am to many, therefore, a most singular exhibition. I appear so mean a figure in comparison with those of the flowing robes about me, that I am miserably out of conceit of my wardrobe, and have no occasion to be flattered with the notice I have attracted. The Turkish women mutter " God is merciful," as I pass them, and scan to call for protection from my ill omened aspect ; the Christian women laugh aloud, and chatter with their sweet voices comments far from favourable to my appearance. As I walked in front of a group of these merry dames, I drew my handkerchief from my coat-pocket, and, naturally enough, applied it to wipe the dust from my eyes. I was assailed by such a shout of laughter that I thought I had committed some frightful indiscretion. I stood in great perplexity, with my hand kerchief in hand, evidently an object of intense interest, for many women came shuffling from a distance to see the show. This was at length ended by my returning the cause of all the amusement to its place ; when, forgetting their propriety, they clapped their hands, and laughed with double enjoy ment. * * * As the congregation was comin g from the church, I strolled up and down the pavement. l have already spoken of my attraction to all the Christian children in Damascus about me : in a little time the women took courage to approach me also. Among them were-some of the merry ones whose laughter had been so excited by the management of my pocket handkerchief on Friday. • By their signs and actions I discovered at length how I had caused their mirth, for they prayed me to play the scene over again. When I had gratified this reasonable curiosity, so many fair hands were thrust into my coat-pockets that I struggled with some difficulty to escape, lest my clothes should be torn to pieces, and distributed throughout the .city as relics of some extraordinary monster. In our customs, too, we equally perplex them. When I confessed the circumstance of being yet single, " Why, why, 0 Frank?" they all cried, and crowded still closer about mu to have the mystery explained. The old servant of the convent, who was standing at the door, perceiving the sensation, Caine to my relief, and inter preted to me a question that an old woman had proposed with sonic anxiety, for I despaired of giving a satisfactory .reply to the other. "Is it true," asked she, " that in Fran istan men and women walk a rm- i n- arm i n the streets ?" I ccould not deny the fact. This had such an effect upon my audience that I felt nearly ashamed of the confession, for I knew not how to vindicate it to them.—Major Skin ner's Overland Journey to India. inc flew iti CM & II I; 111,11 VNNv• rso vx.a• •.. ...... i._.~,.. ...-_ _._."---- - THE SUN, Tarp(' LAW P. l Tir,LT ROLLS' COURT, Nev. 9. rENFOLD V. GILES. Mr. PEMBERTON, on behalr of the plaintiff; stated the facts of the case. The bill wes filed by Anne Penfold, to have carried into execution the trusts of a will under which sbe tcok an important bequest. It played for an account of the ,testator's real and personal estate, and that a receiver might be appointed. The testator in the cause, John Giles, carried on the business of a brewer at Canterbury, and, being the owner of cons derable property, by his will, dated the Gth of November, 1830, he devised all his real and personal es tate to his executors, Jeremiah Giles (his brother) and a Mr. Berton, a solicitor, in trust to convert the same into money, and to hold the produce, afterthe payment of certain mortgages and debts, for his wife, for her-life, as a femme sole, and not to be liable to the controul of anybusband or husbands, and, after her death, for his brother Jeremiah, with remainder to his children. I-Ie also gave a legacy of 1001. to his wife, to be paid immediately on his death. The tes tator died in April IS3I, and from that period up to the present no steps had been taken by the executors to carry into execution the trusts of the will. In 1834 the plaintiff filed her bill, and in the answer then put in it was alleged that at the time the marriage took place the plaintiff de scribed herself as the widow of John Penfold, she at the time knowing that the said John Penfold was alive ; and therefore it was submitted to the Court whether John Giles died leaving her his widow, him surviving. An an swer had also been put in by the children of the defendant, Jeremiah Giles, which urged the same defence. When the cause came to a hearing it was ordered to stand over, for the purpose of amending the record, it being admitted that the plaintiff was the wife of John Penfold. He (Mr. Pem berton) did not know what defence the defendants intended to set up, but, so far from fraud having been practised, he was informed that the gentleman who drew up the will was no other than the defendant. Mr. Burton. Mr. PARKER was proceeding to read the evidence, when Mr. SKIRROW, for the defendants, said he should submit to the Court that the evidence about to be read could not be received. It was taken in the cause in which Anne Giles, in her own right was plaintiff ; but now the record ;vas in a totally different shape, Anne Penfold, alias Giles, by her next friend, being the plaintiff. This discrepancy he bei;eved was a fatal objection to the admissibility of the present evidence. Mr. KINDERSLEY, for the defendants, the children of Jeremiah Giles, joined in the objection of the other de fendants. His Lordship the MASTER of the ROLLS postponed the hearingof the reply till to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, .Nov. 9. THE KING V. BUCISTOKE AND SIX OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause against a rule for a criminal information against the editors, proprietors, and printers of a Carmarthen paper. In the first instance the Learned Gentleman offered, on behalf of the defendants, to make an apology to the applicant, and to pay the costs of the application. Sir W. FOLLETT, in support of the application, had no authority to consent to any such arrangement. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded to state the case on the part of the defendants. The alleged libel im puted to a gentleman who had been Mayor of Carmarthen, and also to another gentleman who was a magistrate of tilt borough, that in two instances they had acted with par tiality in the discharge of the duties of their office, in the case of two persons named Rowe and Phillips. The an swer of the defendants was that at the time of the pub lication of the alleged libel they had reason to believe that the imputation was well founded, and they had acted with no unfair motive in giving it publicity. This was the fact with respect to Rowe's case especially, and their conduct in that instance was fully borne out by the statement of Rowe himself. The great sting in the alleged libel in Phillips's case was the mistake committed by the defendants in the interpretation of certain words used by one of the appli cants. That mistake was speedily discovered, and a spon taneous apology was offered by them in the shape of an article in their paper. There was great reason to complain of the way in which these proceedings had been instituted. Not the editors alone, or those who were properly responsi ble, but every body connected with the paper, had been in cluded in this rule. These supposed libels had now been published above a year ; and, under these circumstances, and considering, too, the apology offered, it was hoped that the Court would not think it necessary to make the rule absolute, but to dispose of it in some other manner. The COURT made the rule absolute. In the course of the day the Lord Mayor, accompanied by many of the civic authorities, entered the Court, and having appointed Master Le Blanc attorney for the City, to defend its liberties and franchises for the year ensuing, invited the Judges to dinner. Lord DENMAN said that some of the Judges would do themselves the honour to atte9d his Lordship. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 9. HENNICKY V. THE EARL OF STRATHMORE. Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLY appeared to show cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Mereweather, for the plaintiff, for amending an order made by Mr. Justice Park, by insertion of " the costs of the plaintiff." The costs amounted to about 10s., and the action had been brought by the plaintiff against the Noble Lord to recover the amount of 1201., balance due upon a bill of exchange, which was signed by the Noble Lord " B. Strathmore." Under this title, with the addition " commonly called the Earl of Strathmore," the defendant had been sued by the plaintiff ; now, he contended that it would be impossible to establish a misnomer under these circumstances, and he should, therefore, pray that the rule be discharged with costs. Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER said that the Noble Lord had felt affronted at the terms, " commonly called the Earl of Strathmore," because this appeared to convey some doubts as to his title, which, it appeared, had been disputed. As the affidavit on the other side, however, declared that there was no intention of offending the defendant, he doubted not, if his Learned Friend would permit the cause to stand over for a very short time, to learn from his client that he was satisfied, and then the rule might be dismissed without costs. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I think that Brother Mere weather may, even upon his own authority, with the advice of the Court, agree to the suggestion ; then the two attor neys may take up their blue bags and walk off.—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER, after what had fallen feom the Court, would not hesitate.—Rule discharged with out costs. CONSISTORY COURT, Nor. 9. WILLIAMS V. WILLIAMS. This was a suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Maria Williams, of the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, in the diocese of London , against her husband, Henry Williams, late of Leamington. An alle gation was offered on behalf of Mrs. Williams. The King's Advocate for the allegation stated that the principal article in it contained a charge against Mr. Wil liams of having written a letter to a Mrs. Cole, the keeper of a house of ill-fame in Leamington, dated Friday, the sth of August to the following effect :—" If Mrs. Cola will have the goodness to get Sophia Edwards, formerly Lap worth, to sign an inclosed paper, which is perfectly true, she shall receive 51. for her trouble ; but it will be of no use unless it is done immediately, as the witnesses are to be examined on, Monday next, if they can be found." The Learned Advocate then read the paper contained in that letter :—" I do hereby positively affirm that I know Mr. Henry Williams, son of the late General Williams,by sight, but that I never had the slightest improper intercourse with him." A space was then left for her signature, and for that of the two attestinz• witnesses. This, he argued, was evi dently done for the purpose of rendering void any evidence which she might give on the examination of witnesses, which was to take place within three days from the date of the letter. Another letter had been sent to Mrs. Cole, supposed also to have been written by Mr. Williams, tel ling her to acquaint Rhoda l3rummi'lge that the least prevarication in her evidence would convict her of per jury. There could be no doubt but that this was intended as intimidation, and more clearly so as this letter was not signed with his own name, nor was the answer to be directed to him, but to a Mrs. Foote, of 47, Charlotte-street, Port land-place. Sophia Edwards and Rhoda Brummidge were the alleged participes criminis. The Learned Counsel con cluded by stating that if the letters were written by Mr. Williams, he was guilty of subornation of perjury by means of his agent, Mrs. Cole. • Drs. BURNABY and NtexoLL, on behalf of the husband, opposed the allegation generally, but more especially the article alluded to above. The Learned JUDGE stated that it Mr. Williams had written these letters, or even if they had been written under his authority, he was guilty of contempt of Court, and had committed an offence which might be punished elsewhere. He (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion that he ought to ad mit the allegation ; but, under the circumstances of the case, he must add, with the exception of the third article, and be at the same time felt bound to say that he had only made that exception from a belief that it would in nowise be de trimental to the cause of the wife, and from no feeling of tenderness towards the other party. The Proctor for Mr. Williams then stated that the letters mentioned were not written by him. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 9 Mr. Commissioner LAW sat to-day to clear the arrears, and for the disposal of motions. The Court on its rising adjourned until the 17th inst., to enable the Learned Com missioner to proceed to three places on the Home Circuit, the other Learned Commissioners being on their respoctive Circuits. Captain Sydney John James, of the British Auxiliary xt6DAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1836 Legion in Spain, came up to-day for adjudication. The ease stood over, in order that the Insolvent might obtain some information relative to the execution of a deed after his return from the service of Don Pedro, in 1835. He stated that he had not the curiosity to ascertain its purport. Mr. WOODROFIT prayed, on the part of the Insolvent, whose health had been seriously impaired by a wound in his head received at St. Sebastian, under General Evans, that his discharge might issue instanter. Mr. Commissioner Lew granted the application, and the isolvent was discharged accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO rVlUßDEß.—Yesterday after noon, Fletcher, the officer, reported to the Sitting Magis trates the results of an investigation of an important and serious kind, in which he had, by their orders, been engaged for the last fortnight, at a village called Benson, near Wal lingford, Berks. The following were the circumstances, as related by the officer : Mr. Smith, a wealthy farmer, residing at Benson, had some years ago built a number of small cottages, on a re tired part of his farm, which were hired from him by the parish officers, at a very small rental, for the abode of per sons of the labouring class, who were receiving what is called out-door relief. When the Poor Law Amendment Act came into operation, and guardians of the poor were ap pointed, they refused to pay the rental, or to afford any other out-door relief, and consequently Mr. S. could look only to the occupants for his rent. Among the rest of his tenants were a large family of the name of Webb, and another of the name of Bowler, all related by marriage, and they refused so pay either rent, or to quit the cottages, and Mr. Smith served them with for mal notices of ejectment, with an intimation that unless these were complied with, force would be used to turn them out. This they expressed a determination to resist, and also declared that if Mr. Smith persisted, he would suffer for it. Mr. Smith still, however, declared he would have possession of his property. He is greatly afflicted with rheumatism in the legs and feet, and it was his habit, when an acute attack come on at night, to get out of bed and walk about for a time. On the night of Saturday, the 22d of October, about half-past nine o'clock, he was walk ing about his bed-room, the blinds of which had not been closed, and stood for some moments at the window, there being a night-lamp burning, when, feeling fatigued, he went again to his bed. He had scarcely lain down, when he heard the report of a gun, which was instantly followed by the crashing of the glass and frame of the window of his apartment, all of which were shattered to pieces. He gave an alarm, and his son, who was in an out house, ran round to the front of the house, and thence through one or two meadows, but could find no one about. A quarter of an hour afterwards, a watchman, who had been hired in consequence of the numerous depredations committed in the neighbourhood, and who had heard the report of tlae gun, saw two men, whom he well knew as Charles Webb and James Bowler, sitting on a stile, one of them having a gun over his shoulder. The watchman lay down to conceal himself, and heard Bowler say to Webb, " My eyes, lets have another rally—have you got any more of those things about you ?" " No, but I will go and fetch some," was Webb's reply, and they went away, the watchman not attempting to stop them. Half an hour afterwards the watchman found them at the same stile, Bowler then having the gun, and he told them that he had overheard their conversation when they were there before ; but they denied having had any until he repeated the words, and then they laughed at him and said, " Well, what of it ?" He taxed them with having fired at Mr. Smith, but they denied it, and he proceeded to take the gun from Bowler. The latter, however, forced it from him again, and the watchman walked away, but had not gone many yards before one of them, he could not tell which, " let loose" at him, and he distinctly heard the whiz of shot very close to him, but was not hit. As he said afterwards, when before the Magistrates, he did not think they meant to shoot him, and so he didn't think it worth his while to turn back. So alarming an occurrence induced the gentlemen of the vicinity to send off to Bow-street for the assistance of an officer, and Fletcher went down. Mr. Smith's room was narrowly examined, and in a portion of the window-sash, and also in the ceiling and wall, were found a great number of shots, Nos. 1 and 2, and two leaden pellets, cast in a very peculiar shape. A mark was also found upon the grass on the top of a bank a short distance from the house, which it was evident was occasioned by a gun having been placed there with the muzzle in the direction of Mr. Smith's bed-room, and some pieces of paper such as are used for wadding, were also found strewed about. The dwellings of the Webbs and Bowlers were then searched, and a gun found, together with a tag containing a quantity of shot Nos. 1 and 2, and some leaden pellets, exactly correspond ing in size and shape with those fired into Mr. Smith's room. Fletcher was accompanied by Mr. Smith, jun., and some other persons, and while making their search they were attacked by four brothers of Webb and their mother, assisted by other relatives, and Smith was knocked down with a heavy blow on the head with a pole with which one of the assailants was armed ; but having his gun with him he jumped up and returned the salute by knocking him down with the butt end. Finally Webb and Bowler, with the four brothers of the former, were secured, and taken to prisoa. In the course of the search seven sacks of stolen wheat were discovered, the property of a farmer about seven miles off. The six prisoners were taken on the following day before the Bench of Magistrates, and, after a very full investiga tion, the two former were fully committed on the capital charge of shooting at Mr. Smith, with intent to kill, &c. ; Robert Webb, for stealing the wheat; and the other three for assaulting the parties who went to apprehend them. The farm occupied by Mr. Smith is in a very retired and wild part of the country, bordering upon the three coun ties of Bucks, Berks, and Oxford, where for some time a portion of the peasantry have been acting in a most lawless manner. While the search described above was going on, the mother of the Webbs, with one or two more, went into another of Mr. Smith's cottages, armed with axes, hammers, &c., and had proceeded far in demolishing the little abode, before they could be stopped. A very 'short time ago a farmer, who had given some offence to the worst portion of the people in the neighbourhood, found in the morning, in one of his fields, five valuable rams with their throats cut, and their sides and backs trodden in and crushed, evidently by persons wearing iron-tipped shoes, in order to render the meat unsaleable. HATTON-GARDEN. A few days ago Mr. Van Sandon, solicitor, of No. 31 Mecklenburgh-square, attended at this office, and applied to Mr. Laing for a warrant of assault against a Mr. James Dignam, solicitor ; and a peace warrant against a Major Quarle. Mr. Van Sandon stated that Mr. Dignam had horse whipped bin), and Major Quark had threatened to see him in his grave. Mr. Laing granted the warrant against Mr. Dignam, but not against the Major ; and on Saturday last the parties attended at the effice, when Mr. Dignam was ordered to put in hail, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each. Major Quark being present, Mr. Sandon made his charge against him, when the Major said that a quarrel took place between the parties, and he merely inter fered in the character of a mediator ; and Mr. Laing or dered him to put in his own recognizances of 50/. to keep the peace towards the complainant, which be did immediately. Yesterday Mr. Van Sandon applied for a copy of the recognizances, which was refused him by the clerk ; and shortly altar he entered the office evidently excited, and whilst the clerk was taking down the evidence in a ease of felony he addressed Mr. Laing, and requested to have a copy of the recognizances in the above cases. Mr. LAING refused him, and said that he had decided on the cases, and he would not deviate from the regular course adopted at that office. Mr. Van Sandon (violently)—Then I insist upon having a sight of them, in order to show who the parties are, and I claim it as a right. Mr. LAING said he liad no right to make such a claim, and he would not grant his request. Mr. Van Sandon--I again insist upon it as a right, as I have a case in the Court of King's Bench, where it will be necessary to prove who and what they are. Mr. LAING—You shall not have what von ask for. Mr. Van Sandon—You have no legal right to refuse me ; am I to understand that you positively deny me ? Mr. LUNG—Most certainly I do. Mr. Van Sandon—Then, if you do, I shall apply to the Secretary of State, and see what he says about the matter. 1 now ask you whether Major Quarle put in his recog nizance in that name, to ascertain whether he has given that as his real name ? Mr. LAING—He put in his personal recognizance here, and if you make any disturbance here and interfere with the regular business I shall call upon my brother-magis trate (Mr. RouEo to assist me and exercise his authority. Mr. ROGERS concurred with Mr. LAING that he had no right to claim a copy of the recognizance, and suggested that he would be silent. Mr. Van Sandon said he bowed with submission to the Bench ; but he still contended that he was claiming only a right to enable him to produce necessary evidence in a case coming on in the King's Bench. Mr. LAING told him that the Court was now sitting, and he might if he thought proper apply for " his right" there. Mr. Van Sendon than left the office with his friend, com plaining that he had not been justly treated, and that he would apply to the Secretary of State upon the subject. Mr. LAI NG sa id t o M r . ROGERS that as the Court of King's Bench was now sitting if the applicant thought he could claim it as his right, he could apply for a mandamus. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A little Frenchman, who had evidently disguised his name under the cacophonous assumption of Podgy, was charged by the police with having been remarkably drunk the over night. The policeman saw the Frenchman, under the effect of a too copious administration of " anti-fogmatics," progressing in that peculiar manner best described as " having business on both sides of the way." He took no notice 'of him then, but on his return, finding be was steadying himself by the railings, and expeditiously depositincl the sum total of his evening potations on the steps of a door, be took him to the station-house. The defendant, who had apparently worked himself into a ludicrous rage, gave a violent shrug, and called out, " For vy de pollis have taken me to de prison von ever I sal eat some oysters." Mr. CONANT—What is it you mean ? Defendant—l vas eat von two dozen oyster for do souper. Den I take some little vaik, and den I eat two tree dozen more. De oysters make me ill, and den de pollis come to take me, ven I vant more de doctor. Mr. CONANT—This is the first time I have heard that oysters make a man drunk. Defendant—Diable ! me not drunk. I vas littel sick, sqt eat so much oyster. Constable—The three last times the policeman found the defendant lying in the street, the defendant asserted ho was not drunk, but had eaten too much tripe and onions. Mr. CONANT—He must pay the fine of five shillings for drunkenness. Defendant—Dis ent de land of liberty, for I get drunk in my own country, and pay nothing. The five shillings were produced, and the defendant was discharged. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Robert Mallet, a mud-bespattered personage, minus a bat, but:who carried such an ample and impervious thatch of hair on his cranium, as to render that appendage useless, was brought before Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with the following pugnacious conduct : Police-constable Appleford, 32 D, was on duty near Stafford-place, Oxford-street, about twelve o'clock the pre vious night, when he saw the defendant completely incased in mud, with a number of persons round him. On inquiry, be learned that he had been fighting with a lancer, as tall again as himself. Imagining him to be in liquor, he con veyed him to the station-house for safety. A gentleman, named Scott, residing at the `Blenheim hotel, here stepped forward and said—l saw the prisoner fighting with the soldier, and he appeared in a state of great excitement. - Defendant (starting indignantly)—Don't call me pri. soner, Sir ; I'll let you know that I am— Mr. RAWLINSON—What ? Defendant (with a graceful bend)—l have the honour to be, Sir, a country tailor, ai present residing at No. 109, New Bond -street, and just arrived in town to procure the newest fashions for the em suing season. _ _ _ Mr. RAWLINSON—Your coat don't seem to be of the newest cut. Defendant—Damned unfashionable indeed, Sir ; and fits me as a sentry box fits a sentinel. The fact is, Sir, that in my contest with the lobster, in which I got off with eclat (a claw), I lost my hat and coat, and the one I have now on my back I borrowed from my friend George Smith, who is about twice the size of myself, and lives in Marylebone-lane. RAWLINSON—You tailors are the most pugnacious mortals on earth. How came you to quarrel with the soldier ? Defendant—Reason enough ; I was walking with a lady, when the lancer endeavoured to take her from me. Mr. RAWLINSON—Who was this lady ? Defendant— I believe she was what is termed, in fashionable language, a lady of easy virtue. _ _ Mr. RANYLINSON—What became of the soldier? Defeo. dant—Oh, I soon made him run. Alr. RAWLINSON—(who seemed rather sceptical)— Indeed! It was here explained by a witness that the tailor scam pered away, and that the man of war ran after him. Defendant—No such thing. Why, I could have given him a " quietus with a bare bodkin," though he was much bigger than myself. Mr. RAWLINSON—What do you say for being drunk? Defendant—l deny it. I had only two thimbles full of brandy. After some further questions, it was ultimately agreed that the defendant should either find bail, or pay 55., the usual penalty of drunkenness. He chose the latter alternative. NOVEL TORTURE.—On Tuesday William Farr and William Hardwich were brought to the Court House by summons, charged with having assaulted John Long bottom, by tying a rope round his legs and lowering him head foremost into a well, a depth of ten yards, by which means they injured his legs, and placed him in great dan ger of his life. It appeared that some damage had been done to buildings in course of erection by Hardwich, in, Jerry-street, New Road-end, Leeds, and that they sus pected the complainant could give them some information ; for the purpose of extorting which they put him down into the well, calling out to him that if he did not tell them all about it they would drown him. The man persisted that he could give them no information, and they after wards drew him up. In their defence the defendants ad mitted having done so to frighten the complainant, and to cause him to give him some information. They were fi n ed 40s.each, and expenses.—Leeds Intelligencer. VIOLET ; OR, THE DANSEUSE.—There have been few works published during the present literary sea son, even though from the pens of old established favou rites, equalling in interest this production of an anonymous writer. The author is said to be hitherto totally unknown to the world of novel readers, but we doubt this, for it is seldom that the first attempt of an unknown writer meets with such general commendation as our critical contempo raries have bestowed upon " Violet." The Examiner, in deed, declares it to be a perfect revival of the genius of Inchbald, as it includes all the properties of that genius— the archness of " Nature and Art," as well as the pathos of the " Simple Story." The village of Wishram, at the head of the Long Narrows, is a solitary instance of an aboriginal trading mart or emporium. Here the salmon caught in the neighbour ing rapids were " warehoused "to await customers. Hither the tribes from the mouth of the Colombia, repaired with fish of the sea-coast, the roots, berries, and especially the wappatoo, gathered in the lower parts of the river, together with goods and trinkets obtained from the'ships which ca sually visited the coast. Hither also the tribes from the Rocky Mountains brought down horses, bear grass, qua mash, and other commodities of the interior. The mer chant fishermen at the falls acted as middlemen or factors, and passed the objects of traffic, as it were cross-handed, trading away part of the wares received from the mountain tribes to those of the rivers and plains, and vice versa. Their packages of pounded salmon entered largely into the system of barter, and, being carried off in opposite directions, found their way to the savage hunting camps far in the interior, and to the casual white traders who touched upon the coast.—Astoria. THE TRANSATLANTIC RUSH OF ACTORS. With a proper appreciation of the merits of the American tragedian who has lately made his debut on our boards, and a due and befitting estimation of the saltatory, rotatory, and other accomplishments of the illustrious "Jim Crow's" faith ful representative, it will be found that on striking the ba lance of our histrionic account with brother Jonathan, he is " pretty considerably" our debtor. The following long array of theatrical emigrants are now courting his smiles : Keeley, Power, J. Wallack, Booth, C. E. Horn, Dowton, Balls, Abbot, Hamblin, Decamp, Latham, Mason (C. and John), Hunt, Mitchell, Fredericks, Mrs. Ternan (late Miss Jarman), Miss George, Mrs. Keeley, Mrs. Watson (late Miss Wells), Miss Watson, Mrs. Phillips (from Drury lane), Lydia Kelly, Mrs. Hamblin (late Miss Blanchard), Miss Mason - , and to these must soon be added the far-famed name of Ellen Tree. Mrs. Butler too—but our Yankee brother has thrust a ring on her fair finger, and yoked her, off-hand, with one of his sturdy progeny. She is no longer ours. Her conjugal " engagement" has, no doubt (as it ought to have done) "transported her for life." SOCIETY OF AltTS.—The first illustration for the season was given on Tuesday evening, at the Society's Rooms, David Pollock, Esq., F.R.S., Vice-President in the chair. The assemblage was numerous ; amongst others we noticed Earl Stanhope, and the three interesting youths belonging to the suite of the Turkish Ambassador, who have come over to this country for the purpose of studying the arts connected with civil engineering. Mr. Ross exhi bited numerous drawings, from which he explained the principles of optics, and more particularly the nature of re fraction, and the construction of the telescope, deferring the consideration of its application to more complex optical instruments until the next meeting. On the table were three Egyptian tablets filled with coloured hieroglyphics, from the collection of Mr. Charles Dodd, and an exqui sitely formed calcareous alabaster tray or salver of an oblong oval form, which has recently been dug up from the ruins of Palmyra. HORSHAM.—The revising barristers for this bo rough, Messrs. Deedes and Sir W. B. Riddell, commenced their labours on Saturday, the sth instant, and finally com pleted the revision of the lists on Monday evening. The Tories and Liberals were both extremely active, and the right of every claimant was opposed or sustained by the respective parties with the utmost zeal and pertinacity ; but the Liberal party obtained in the sequel a large and triumphant majority. Objected to by the Tories 4, sus tained 0. Objected to by the Liberals 7, sustained 9. Claims by the Tories 12, sustained 9. Claims by the Li berals 29, sustained 21 ; thus increasing very considerably the balance of interest in favour of the Reformers, SHIPPING INTELLIGENC VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE C TOM-HOUSE, Nov. 9.
