SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL S • The inhabitants of Limerick have invited the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to a public dinner. Upwards of 120 names, comprising _those of the most respect able merchants and private gentlemen of the town, are subscribed to the invitation ; but of the persons who compose the Corporation, we can recognise but one Rice individual. The local services which M r. Spring ce has been the means of rendering to their city are as nothing in the estimation of its self-elected guardians a and directors, when balanced against his desire to pre mote Municipal Reform. The Aldermen, therefore, with one solitary exception, and their Esculapian Mayor, together with the Sheriffs, and the whole Court of Oyer Hundred, stand at a majestic distance, and will not give their countenance to the intended compliment. The clergy, also, of the Established Church seem to have come to an unanimous agree ment to avoid sharing in this public tribute to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Yet, unless we are misinformed, there be of them who are by no means averse to pay their court to him in private. Indeed, such appears to be the general rule of the cloth, not only with regard to individuals connected with the Government, but as respects the representative of the King himself. The Clergy have no scruples about intruding themselves upon the notice, and so liciting the favour of the Government in private ; but they take care to eschew all contact before the public. Thus, in the several excursions of the Lord Lieutenant into the country, he has been addressed and greeted by persons of all rinks and professions, except the Protestant clergy. Those personages, even in their individual capacity, have held themselves loftily separate. Some even who are indebted to his kind ness for promotion have proved as shy of his presence as if they owed him nothing ; and others, after crouch ing to him in p r i vate with every expression of adula tion in the hope of conciliating his favour,.have had the unparalleled baseness to attend public meetings convened for the purpose of reviling him. This was peculiarly remarkable in Cork ; for in that county the Lord Lieutenant had an opportunity of providing for fire or six clergymen, by distributing amongst them the patronage which fell into his hands in consequence of the death of Bishop Brinkley, and his goodness prompted him to bestow it.opon the curates. Yet none of those gentlemen had the common courtesy—setting gratitude altogether out of the question—to present themselves to him ; but at the entertainment to which he was invited by the citizens of Cork the duty of saving grace devolved upon a Catholic clergyman. More recently his Excellency visited the north of Ire land ; and in passing through Enniskillen it is the boast of the Tory press that no notice whatever was taken of him by the Protestant clergy. Now, in that very town is a clergyman upon whom, within these three months, Lord Mulgrave conferred an appoint ment worth at leaSt one thousand pounds a year. Why did he not pay his respects to his benefactor ? The gentlemen who act thus may plume themselves upon their high principle ; but if they possessed such a quality, or were actuated by it, they would not have paid that homage in the closet which they make such a parade of refusing in the market-place. The public will not g ive them credit for any l o fti ness o f sent i ment; but, on the contrary, will regard their conduct with the contempt which is due to meanness and duplicity. We hope the instruction which may be derived from these circumstances will not be thrown away or disre garded in the future distribution of clerical patronage. in the Church, as much as in any other department,, it behoves the members of . the Government to look to their friends, and, ceteris paribus, to distinguish them in preference to all other cktimants. 'The Protestant eirgy exercise a very considerable de7ee of influence in society ; and it is, therefore, of the utmost import enett that their opinions should be rendered favourable to the measures of a Liberal Government. But it is a grievous mistake to think of conciliating them by be stowing preferment without the least regard to the political sentiments of the individual aspirants. The dries never did such things; and though we should be the last to propose their method of doing anything, as a pattern of propriety, yet we would just request our friends in the Government to consider how the Tory system of preferment has worked in the Church. Is not the whole ecclesiastical body one great hotbed of Toryism, through the rigid observance of their rule of neither giving a benefice themselves directly to a person of whose political attachment they could en tertain a doubt, nor raising to the Episcopal Bench any man who was likely to commit a similar weak ness ? Thus they secured the clergy on their own side almost to a man ; and, through their influence, have infused the leaven of their principles throughout the whole frame of society. In order to counteract this the Government must borrow a leaf from the Tory-book, not, indeed, by going the whole length to which the principle was carried out under former Go vernments, but by singling out such men as Doctor Sandes, under whose rule liberality will no longer be proscribed in a Churchman, whilst the higher qualities of piety, virtue, and learning will be, as they should be, his chief recommendations., We venture to say that a steady and uniform system of dealing with the Church patronage in the disposal of the Crown would speedily enlarge the minds of the parochial clergy, and, through their influence, produce the happiest effects upon society.—Morning Chronicle. The Liberals of Ireland are setting an example well deserving the imitation of Reformers in every part of the United Kingdom. While the Tories there, as in this country, are feasting, carousing, and in their drunken orgies bellowing forth ail manner of abuse and defiance against the advocates of popular rights, the Irish Reformers are quietly, but actively organising co-operating branches from the General Association, for the purpose of superintending the registration and collecting the justice-rent. Though these proceedings do not furnish their friends an opportunity of parading such speeches, of inflated fustian as are so liberally measured out by the fuddled heroes of Toryism, their effects will be sensibly felt in the day of trial when a general election will test the state of public feeling. Meetings ha ve b een h e ld, or are about t o b e held, in almost every county, for the promotion of the objects we have mentioned ; and never in any stage of her history, not even when the Catholic Association was in the meridian of its power, did Ireland present so ; formidable a combination as at present. Men of all classes, the clergy, nobles, gentry, merchants, farmers, artisans, and peasants, are sending in their contribu-1 tions, and enrolling their names in the lists of associated patriots. The justice -rent received by the General Association last week amounted to upwards of 1601., independently of large collections in various provincial towns. Speech-making seems to be, for the present, out of fashion with the Reformers of Ireland, who are most judiciously substituting actions f or wor d s • nor will the effect be the less, from - there b e i ng less ;oise in the preparation. From close calculations it appears, that, should a general election take place, at least twenty Tory members would be replaced by as many R e f or mers of the right sort. W inducement hat g reater than this successful progress of their exerti ons need be held out to the Irish people, to stimulate their zeal, a n d prompt their perseverance in their noble efforts ? In the meantime, the Tories on either side o f t h e Chan nel vie . with each otherin pouring forth the gall o f their malignity upon all unconnected with their own corrupt faction. Every calumny against the Roman Catholic population of Ireland, no matter how foul th e source whence it emanates, is assiduously propagated, "and finds a fitting medium of circulation through the fac tious press. At one moment the people are loaded with every abusive epithet in the language, the next they arc appealed to in support of their maligners—now they are denounced as revolutictuary, and acqiin, their tran quillity is referred to as ari evidence of their not taking any interest in the collision which is now inevitable between the hereditary and representative principles, Every manner of falsehood is put in requisition to sup ply the dearth of rational discussion—what is asserted tone moment is denied the next, as it may suit the pur pose of the public traducers. But while such revilings ooth the ears of oligarchs and churchmen, and lull their perception of the dangers which their contumacy is exciting, the people either receive them with con tempt, or, if they produce any effect at all, it is only to engrave still deeper on the public mind the abhor rence of the public enemy. The Tories, if we are to judge by their speeches when they wax valiant over their cups, are becoming tired of a contest carried on by constitutional means, and seem anxi ous to goad the people into a physical demon stration. At a recent Conservative dinner, one of the speakers challenged the people to attack the House of Lords, and boasted that if they dared to budge thousands of swords would form a wall of steel round that august assembly. This silly and sottish display excited immense applause, and was exultingly exhi bited through the Tory prints. Fortunately under present circumstances the people can afford to laugh at the vain boastings of their enemies, or were it other wise, such an a pp ea l m i g h t not pass w ith o ut a response which would annihilate the challengers. As it is, the best refutation which the people can give to the calum nies of their opponents—the best reply to their mad de fiance, is to pr o coed ac tiv e ly, but peaceably, in orga nizing their own forces for a constitutional struggle, whether it should come in the form of an election, or in any other appeal to the general feeling; and when the time of action arrives, and it now cannot be far distant, the same power—the united action of the peo ple—which forced Reform into the House of Com mons—will rescue its results from the hands of the spoilers.—Morning Advertiser. The Conservatives are bestirring themselves in a manner suitable to:the position of their cause. Our paper of this day contains two important Conservative meetings, one beld at Beverley, in Yorkshire, the other at Peterborough in Northamptonshire, and both exhi biting such a display of rank, wealth, talent, and in fluence—aye, even the imposing influence of numerical strength, as must, at least for the present, deprive the Whig-Radicals of their favourite boast, that public opinion is in their favour. Surely, the occurrence of such meetings as we refer to may be mentioned among "the signs of the'times." The speakers at both meet ings appealed confidently to recent events, and to the enthusiasm which they witnessed, and in which they participated, as proofs that a re-action had taken place. Let those,who maintain the reverse produce as decisive proofs, and then it will be time enough to think of comparing them and considering where the scale preponderates. But the fact is they have no such voofs to bring forward. The Whig-Radicals and the Ministerial Destructives are dumb. It is true their printing presses are still in action, but with that ex ception the party or parties which constitute the Mi nisterial band show no more symptom of life than if they had already concluded their last dying speeches. We congratulate the country on this result. It shows that the people of England are what we always be lieved and represented them to be, a p eo pl e a tt ac h e d to their own free institutions, and therefore adverse to those extreme and speculative theories which grow out of desperate circumstances. If they were so madly bent upon going all lengths with the present reck less Cabinet as ,the members of that Cabinet would Ihare us believe, how comes it that they • take such little pains to counteract, or even to com plain of the defeats which their friends have suf fered at the hands of their Parliamentary opponents ? Where are the uteeting,s to remonstrate—where are the petitions to the Throne, or how is it that we hear no thing, or, if anything, hear so little of the indignation' that we were told required all the management of the most experienced tacticians to keep from exploding ? The fact is, as we have already stated in effect, that the people of England are in the mass Conservative. That name is not the name of a party. It disin guishes and describes the character of the nation, which now perceiving that organic changes were medi tated upon too broad a scale, withdr a w from the spe culators, in favour of the Constitution, which their projects had endangered. If we may judge from the tone of those Meetings, of the feeling which pervade the great districts they respectively represent, it _would seem as if the days of the Whig-Radical Ministry were numbered. The tide is now clearly running ore way. We see no symptom of any counteracting force. The long faces of the 'Whigs and Radicals are any thing but pugnacious at present. They may shake their heads at what is going on, like Lord Burleigh in the play, hut there is nothing in that ;—the sound constitutional feeling of the country has triumphed, and there only remains to give effect to that triumph by the adoption of an unceremonious process, which most men would rather avoid by a timely retreat.— Morning Herald. FIRE IN WOIVIBWELL'S MENAGERIE.-Between tvvelva and one o'clock on Thursday morning the waggon con taining the elephants in Wombwell's menagerie, now exhibit. ing at the Meadows, was discovered to be on fire. Every effort was immediately made to extinguish the flames by such of the keepers as were on the spot, as well as by the people connected' with the other shows; and they were soon brought under. The elephants fortunately did not sustain any serious injury; but they must have either suffered severely or died from suffocation had the flames been much longer in being ob served, as they were making considerable progress when they were discovered, and would have soon reached the huge and sagacious animals. As it was, the clouds of smoke in which both were involved affected them not a little, and it is even thought that the female, lady-like, fainted; but, by adminis tering restoratives, consisting of a pailful or two of beer and whiskey, to her and her more robust helpmate, they in a short time recovered from the unfavourable consequences produced. A NEW ARTICLE OF EXPORT.—Driving coals to Newcastle and salt to Dysart used to be tho u ght absurd ; but what would have been said of the driving of,bay to America? This, in consequence of the failure of the crop there, is actually the case. There are at present in the two export sheds here, 2,500 stones of that commodity, ready to be shipped on board the Amity of Aberdeen, which is just about to be laid on for Miramichi. It is expected that she will take 10,000 stones. A larger vessel than the .Amity is also to be despatched from the Clyde to America, with this novel article of export. — Dundee Advertiser. About one o'clock on Thursday afternoon, as two boys were passing along the Willow-walk, a place leading from Westminster to Chelsea, they discovered the body of a Woman embedded in the mud. They called the assistance of a policeman, and she was conveyed to the nearest public house. It appears that the name of the deceased was Catha rine Roberts, and she had lived in Queen's -court, Peter -street, Westminster. She had been carted from her husband, a labouring man, for the last twelve years, and had latterly given herself up to gross habits of intemperance. It is sup posed that in returning from Chelsea, she fell into the ditch, in a state of intoxication. Mr. Mason, an engineer, and proprietor of a fac tory in the Borough-road, Southwark, about two o'clock yes terday morning (nobody being in the factory but himself) was leaving the place where he had been at work, when he by some means fell down backwards into a cellar, and fractured his skull dreadfully. The policeman on going Lis rounds hearing a loud moaning, discovered Mr. M. with his head against the wall and his heels upwards, almost in a dying state. As soon as a stretcher could be obtained from the Station house in the Southwark Bridge-road, he was conveyed on it to Guy's Hospital, Borough, where he now lies, and is not expected to outlive the day. By a strange coincidence it hap pens that upon the same day twelvemonths he was thrown out of his chaise sad severely injured in his head, and then for a long time his life was despaired of. On Friday, the servant of the director of one of the offices of Monte de Pike, carrying home a bag containing. I,ooof. for her master, was accosted by rogues, who took ad vantage of her simplicity, enticed her into the Champ de Mars, where they assured her there was to be a grand review by the Kings of England and Naples, and at length prevailed upon her to give them the bag of 1,0001. for a rouleau which they declared contained Napoleonsto the same amount. The poor-deluded girl then went home and delivered the rouleau to her master, who on opening it found only 35 one-sous pieces. His reproaches to her were so severe that she went up to her room declaring that she never could survive them. In fact, she did not appear the next morning, and on breaking open her door she was found dead on the bed having suffocated her self with charcoal. On Wednesday next, the 21st inst., being St. iMat thew's Day, the Lord M a y or , Aldermen, and Governors of the several R o y a l H os pit a l s , accor di ng t o annual custom, will attend Divine servi ce a t Ch r i s t s ' Church, Newgate-street.

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the week ending the 12th clay of September, 1856, is 45'c 4d. per hundred Weight, exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain. It is stated that a land proprietor of the province of New Russia has sent as a present to the Emperor Nicholas an amethyst, found in the mines of Siberia, weighing seven poods, or 280 pounds. It is the largest ever seen in Russia. An imperial decree has been issued by the Go vernn►ent of Lombardy, which proclaims an amnesty upon certain conditions to all subjects of the kingdom who have fled into foreign countries on account of political offences, which coalitions may be known by making application to the Governor. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOg-HOUSE. Mr. Fleming, the proprietor of the wharf which suffered so much in the late calamity near London-bridge, and Mr. Smith, clerk to the agents of the Dublin Steam-packet Company, appeared before the LORD MAYOR. Mr. Crome, an Irish gentleman, who at present resides at No. 32, Southampton-street, Strand, engaged a passage in the William Fawcett steam-vessel, belonging to the above mentioned Company, on the 23d of August, for himself and three of his family, and paid 1/. 55,, for extra luggage, and received the receipts for the amount he had paid. On the 28th he arrived in the Thames, and demanded his luggage of the captain, who said that as it was Sunday he could not get it, but on Monday the delivery should take place. Next day accordingly he called, at eight o'clock in the morning, in a boat alongside, to take away his luggage. The men were loading a lighter out of the s te amer , t o be carried to a wharf, and Mr. Hickay, clerk to the agent of the Dublin Steam-packet Company, was present, and said, it was impossible to let him have the luggage at that time, as his name being high on the list of the passengers, his lu g gage was at the bottom of the lighter. S ee i ng th e en d of one of his trunks, in which there was a great deal of va luable property, at the bottom of the lighter, he requested that the clerk would let him have it, and he would call for the remainder in the evening. Mr. Hickay replied that there were too many packages over it to be removed at that time. " Where are you going with it," said witness, " for I have a large property in it ?" " To Fenning's Wharf," was the reply, " for we can't land them at our own, it is so full." 'Witness urged the necessity he was in for his pro perty, hut it was in vain. The goods were taken to Fen ning's Wharf, and were burnt in the conflagration. The LORD MAYOR—Did you get any part of your pro perty ? Witness—l have got part of the plate. All the purchases I made in Ireland for the use of my family in this country were burnt, and in consequence of the refusal of the wharfingers to let me have the papers which happened to be unconsumed I have sustained an additional loss, for the papers have been rotted by the water. The LORD MAYOR—Did you see any of your property in the ruins ? Witness—Yes, and applied for it, but Mr. Fenning's agents refused to let me take it. I identified the trunks, and proved that they were mine by opening each of them with my keys which I had in a bunch. The boxes were partly burnt, but not all consumed. The LORD MAYOR—Did you say that they refused to give you up your property then ? Witness—l do. I bad bank -notes, and I believe sovereigns, in the trunk. Not one farthing of the money have I received, but I have got some of the plate. Mr. Fanning—What was the value of the bank-notes which you say you lost ? Witness—l cannot exactly say, but I at present, upon a rough guess, estimate my loss at about 1,2001. The LORD MAYOR—How many days transpired before they gave you any of the things ? Witness—About eight days. The son of Mr. Crone went to kenning's wharf, in the absence of his father, to demand the property, and took with him the receipts which his father had received from the Dublin Steam-packet Company for the luggage, toge ther with an order from the agent's office. He received a box of plate and papers, and gave up the receipts, and was told that be might take the rest if he could identify them. Next day be went for the remainder, but was told that he could get no more without the payment of five pounds. Mr. Fenning—The residue is detained for the salvage. The LORD MAYOR—What is meant by detaining the goods for the salvage ?, Mr. Fenning—A great expence is incurred by getting the property out of the ruins, and it cannot be expected after so dreadful a calamity that we can be at all that expense. I have not acted in this case without legal advice. _ _ Mr. Smith, the Dublin Steam Packet Company's Clerk, stated, that when Mr. Crome applied at the office he was offered every assistance, and that if his Lordship would hear the other side of the question, he would find that nothing improper had been done upon the part of the Company. Mr. John Hickay was a Clerk to the Dublin Steam packet Company. When Mr. Crome appeared to ask for his goods on board he requested that one trunk, which was' at the bottom of the lighter, should be given to him ; but it was quite impossible to get at it, and witness said so, and stated to Mr. Crome that the lighter was going with the goods to Fenning's Wharf, where in all probability he would get his trunks in the course of the day. There was, witness believed, some of Mr. Crome's luggage on the deck at the time, and he (witness) would have most readily given them up to Mr. Crome if he bad wished for it, but nothing was asked for except the • trunk, which lay at the very bottom. The LORD MAYOR said that the evidence just produced did not alter the character of the transaction, which ap peared to him to be altogether unjustifiable. Mr. Crome said that another passenger wished to speak to the Lord Mayor. Captain Moore, of the 80th Regiment, was unfortu nately also a severe sufferer by the fire, and he wished to know whether Mr. Fenning meant to charge him salvage upon the goods which he had in the ruins ? He had iden tified his plate, and the only objection made to the delivery of the property to him was, that he had not an order from Mr. Smith. He had paid the freight, and was most anxious to avoid litigation under the very painful circumstances in which he was placed. Mr. Fenning was positive that in making a demand for salvage he was right. Captain Moore—l could not expect that, after having lost property to the amount of 500/., I should be asked for salvage upon that which has been recovered. Mr. Penning—We could have had no objection if those who shared in the calamity sent people to dig for them in the ruins, but the expense is enormous, and it cannot be ex pected that I should pay it. Captain Moore—l was going to New South Wales, and my regiment is now embarking at Chatham. I have not only lost all my property, but am, in consequence of the calamity, obliged to relinquish my appointment, and I never could have supposed that I should be subjected to this pe nalty. The LORD MAYOR—My recommendation to you both gentlemen is that you immediately apply to legal advisers. In my opinion a Court of Law would make it all right. The parties then left the Justice-room. GUILDHALL. William Blackburn, of Fetter-lane, who has been under examination here for having administered a drug to Hannah Mary Turner, aged 17, for an improper purpose, was yes terday committed to take his trial for the offence. HATTO.N-GARDEN. Hugh APAreale, a Scotch b a k er, was charged with being drunk on Thursday night last. The prisoner was seen by a constable in Broad-street, St. Giles's, surrounded by a mob of the lowest character, with his hands full of sove reigns, which he was distributing amongst them most munificently, and they were eagerly seizing on them when he was taken into custody. The inspector produced 37 sovereigns and 155., which Mr. BENNETT ordered to be handed over to the prisoner's father, who accompanied him ; and, being severely repri manded for his foolish and imprudent conduct, he was dis charged. Yesterday Frances Carey, a well-looking young woman, was brought before Mr. BENNETT for re-examination, charged by John Jones, a weather-beaten tar, with having [ robbed him of 1/. 17s. and a suit of clothes. Poor Jack, with all the peculiarity of manner and phraseo logy of the seaman, stated that on Saturday ilast he re turned from Quebec on board the Eleanor, which landed him at the docks, and he was paid off at a crib in the City, at the back of the Royal Exchange, where he re ceived 101. and some silver. He started straight off to his cousin, Rice Jones, a milkman, his only friend ashore, No. 14, North-mews, Tottenham-court -road, where, after a glass o'grog, they began to cast up accounts, and only having a few togs, which were especially reserved to land, but which were now destroyed by the wet dropping from the chain cable, and the cock roaches having formed a kind of colony about them, he de termined on rigging himself afresh ; and after keeping it up merrily on Sunday with his cousin and wife, he left them on Monday to go to Monmouth -street, where he laid out a good round sum for a couple o' suits and other articles, one of which he put on over the old one, and tied the other up in a handkerchief, but on going- along he met a coupl e o f his messmates, and th ey went to a pulic-house and drank rum grog, until he began to think o' the necessity of a pilot, and not being able to steer himself along he went under a gateway and stowed 11. 17s. in his neckcloth, which he tied round his neck, and was making his way towards his cou sin's to his berth, when he met with a young woman (the prisoner), who offered to lend him a hand to a place of safety, and for her kindness he gave her a drain or two, which sent him afloat, and on getting into the fresh breeze he was upset, and he lay dead drunk on the pavement, and he did not know what was the matter until he found him self in the station house the following morning, without a farthing in his pocket ; his neckcloth with the money was gone, and he was covered from head to foot with mud, and in a reg'lar pickle. Here the poor fellow hung down his head and, rubbing the top of his leather hat, shed a tear, and in a melancholy tone said, it is not the money nor the clothes that I cares so much about, but poor Rice, poor Rice Jones, my only friend, who always lent mo a helping hand when I came ashore, and who was here last Monday, as well as ever he was in all his life, is now stiff and dead, a reg'lar corpse your honour. - Mr. BENNETT—What did he die of ? Jack, (wiping his eyes)—He died of a brain fever yesterday morning, all o': a sudden ; and it makes me so miserable to look at him, or to be in the place. 2 Mr. BENNETT—How long have you been a sailor. Jack—Why I took the idea when I was a boy, and I men q say I have been on th e ocean a ll m y lif e time ; in the east, west, n or th, an d sou th, I've box'd the r e g lar compass, but never m e t w ith suc h a ga le as this her e be fore, your Honour.
