SPIRIT of•the PUBLIC JOURNALS. mom THE EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Mr. Hutt, in his recent speech at Gates head, animadverted with great justice on the system of mendacious representation which was employed to raise the present party in power from being a party in Opposition. All oppositions have more or less tempta iont o'" mendacious representation"—whether in the rape ofsuppres.sio yeri, or suggestio falsi. Their posi tion is that of men whose views have been, for the time, superseded in affairs ; and they would be something more than human, were they always quite just to those who have superseded them. All that, in the frailty of nature, can well be demanded of Opposi- Con, is that they shall not excite popular prejudices which they do not partake themselves—nay, which they are predetermined to thwart, the moment they may attain office. If, for instance, the Whigs echoed the repeal cry now, with the purpose of again abjuring it, when it had served the turn of rendering it impossible for their opponents to govern Ireland—they would become chargeable with equal perfidy as the late Protestant Opposition—now merged in the Peel Ministry. Mr. Hutt truly stated that "prejudices the most gross were set forth as undeniable truth ; passions scarcely compatible with public society were declared at the monster meetings of the Conservatives, and religious intolerance against Catholic influence was declared to be the Christianity of the Church of England—the reformed Church of this country." Where is now the Protestant Oppo sition of 1840 ? Gentle Gladstone, tell us where ? Where that Opposition whose organ, Lord Ashley, gave notice that be would move for a call of the House to consider the hor 'Me proposition that the State should assist the great object of public instruction, irrespectively of the reli gious opinions of those who might seek a share in it ? Where the addresses hurried to the foot of the throne by a zealous concourse of Peers and Prelates, the par takers of Inglis's wisdom, and Lyndhurst's con science ? Where those orthodox country gentlemen who, as Mr. Hutt said, " could not sleep in their beds, when Lord John Russell proposed to do by Parlia inentary enactment the very same thing Lord Wharn cliffe now announces may be done without it ?" Where, above all, that faithful phalanx, which was to have stemmed the influx of Roman Catholicism ? Why Henry of Exeter is patronising Dr. Pusey, and Mr. Gladstone (in writings generally ascribed to him) beseeching the Newmaniacs (with their Romish '• tastes" and "affections") to stay in our Church! What is this but beseeching " Parley the Porter" to keep the keys of the citadel, for fear his zeal should lead him to go out, instead of letting the enemy in. We meddle with no persuasions ; however repulsively dif ferent from our own. We meddle not, therefore, with Roman Catholics. But as men of a Protestant laity, we have a right to demand that Roman Catho licism shall not be restored by a Protestant priesthood. We have a right to demand that articles subscribed by Churchmen, as their title and passport to the position which the State assigns them, shall be subscribed in their natural—and not, according to the avowal of these Retrogrades—in a non-natural sense !Or we have a right to demand of Mr. Gladstone, the gentleman who more peculiarly professes to represent Church principles in the present Administration—that, as we have had an Aberdeen Kirk Bill, and an Unitarian Chapel Bill, and Lord Beaumont's Catholic Bill—we shall have a Gladstone Puseyite Bill. It is unquestionable that the Church-connexion with the State hangs on Act of Parliament. While that connexion subsists, the Church parties to it cannot throw off its conditions. The only alternatives (however this pseudo-Protes tant Jesuitism seeks to evade them) are that the con ditions be observed, or altered, or that the parties breaking them, quit the connexion! Mr. Gladstone implores the Puseyites to stay in the Church. We, as Protestant parties to its State con :is/ion; demand that they leave it—or that Mr. Gladstone, who would have them stay, carry, if' he can, a Comprehension Act to admit their shying; and end the flagitious farce of subscribing plain terms in a non-natural sense. England and Rome cannot be cheated into re-union. The recognition of Romish authority is intelligible— the recognition of Anglican authority is intelligible ; but the one excludes the other—the one is under the other's anathema. The Newmaniacs talk of the inischievous nationality in the English idea of a Church. But it is only as national—as independent of Roman, or all other than national authority— that the English Church can maintain its present p ,sition at all. If Rome is the true mother church —if return to unity with Rome the true object— then Rome has a right to the immediate uncondi tional obedience of all those who deem her such. The Newmaniac party, in their " Lives of the English S tints," represent Rome in that light. Then for t'lem there can be no honest abiding in the Anglican o immunion. We have spoken of the late Protestant Opposition as an exploded humbug. It is for others, i higher places, to consider whether the Protestant Cherch wilt not equally come to be termed the late o le, if professed members of it are permitted to p-0- . ePd in their present pious work of pouring periodical insults on it. STANDARD.—" What is the repeal movement ie Ireland to be?" inquires the Morning, Chronicle with simplicity. As respects the substance of the o iestion, it is easily answered. The repeal move ) tent will be what it is and has been, arid must lie, rid what all similar movements for the last forty •,-ears have h^en—a sordid nioney-maldng sv+ind;e. The shape that the movement may assume is un certain, and it is of little consequence, of as , tle consequence as the name or the colour f the next quack nostrum issued by any poison vendor, or as the shape of the bottle in lvhich the unwholesome mixture may be dispensed. 1 " he repeal movement and the empirical trade are ie all respects similar—a nartor, by the aid of -?s and exaggeration, of trash and poison, for sterling money. No man is now in the dark upon this subject ; e:1 see that Mr. O'Connell and his gang have no object, I,sver had any object, but the acquisition of money ilpon a false pretence. He knows, as well as any one in the empire, that it were just as easy to bring down tne moon as either t ) carry his original scheme of repeal, or his substituted scheme of federalism. But, ~o der pretence of effecting the one, he has taken from t .e poorest peasantry in the world some hundreds of t imisands of pounds ; and under the pretence of ef f-cting the other, or some like pretence, he will con t nue the drain. Meanwhile, as the retreat upon fe tieralism is a plain abandonment of repeal, he is a confessed defrauder of his wretched countrymen, if he do not return to the last farthing all the money he has extorted from them under the assurance that he would accomplish the latter. Will he refund ? The question would be answered by one horse ] :ugh from Rathlin to Cape Clear. Oh, no; Mr. O'Connell understands as well as any one, ‘• the double trouble of paying back." We have said Viet the mendicant has been for fourteen years pro secuting this fraud. We might greatly lengthen the term; the emancipation movement was but an earlier Frage of the same swindle. The movements differ indeed in this, that "the emancipation" was I rem the outset certain (the unhappy Act of 1793 had secured that), while the repeal was fsom the first a notorious impossibility. Mr. !'Connell is accustomed to boast that it was he who carried the Bill of 1829. Never was there a 3aore gross falsehood. He retarded that Bill for t Nenty years, and greatly were we obliged to him for doing so. The proof that it was he who so long delayed the Bill is in the hands of every one who can and will read. Look to the several speeches of the pro-Romanists in the emancipation debates from 1805 to 1829, and it •w ill be seen that the great difficulty which those pro-Romanists, Mr. Grattan, Lord Plun kett, Lord Grenville, &c., had to overcome was 'presented by the proceedings of Mr. O'Connell and his accomplices in " Catholic committees," Catholic boards," " Catholic associations," &c. Look again to the decisive fact, that when in 5 2 29 the Ministers (urged by the King's double ('ealing) had made up their minds to take .the dangerous step, they found that they could esot dare to move in it until they had first silenced I.lr. -O'Connell and his gang by a Bill suppress " the Roman Catholic Association." these -n se facts upon the record, and open to all ; 'a :d if they do not approve that Mr. O'Connell r tarded, instead of advancing, " emancipation," - riething was ever proved in political logic. Never theless, at the wind-up, the whole balance of the :Association funds, extorted from the poor (an elormoua sum, as we have heard), passed into the pocket of Mr. )aniel O'Connell, as the reward of his • services in effecting that arrangement which he, and he only, retarded for twenty years, and which the -force of circumstances in the end effected in spite of him. The success of this gigantic quackery -50,0001. or 60,0001. paid for the recovery of a patient, - whom he had kept twenty years an invalid, and whose recovery he could not prevent—the success of this gigantic quackery afforded encouragement and temp . tition to further fraud not to be resisted ; but the q lack having pocketed his fee for the cure could no longer pretend that the patient was indisposed, • . and thefore he bethough4 him of a new delusion— , a measure analogous to the Elixir, by which the knaves of the sixteenth century promised to renew youth, and- to inve s t w ith i mmorta lit y. Thi s ki n d f fraud has the advantage that it cannot be exposed until the only party who ought to be able t ') ex .se it is silent in his quiet grave. It is & swindle in fee—a freehold rent-charge upon folly and ignorance. From this second piece of roguery, however, Mr. O'C onne ll h as certainly • r ec eived between two and three hundred thousand pounds sterling, plus the balance of the Catholic rent, :or which we have already spoken. This is perfectly well understood by every man in Great Britain, and upon the continent of Europe, and e by every intelligent man in Ireland. Nay, the secret s of the repeal movement has transpired even in the United States. We live in a commercial age. This con- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, OCTOBER 23 . 1844. dition may present disadvantages, but it presents ad vantages also. In other times greedy demagogues might deceive the public, perhaps sometimes deceive themselves as to the utter sor idness of their motives. Men might imagine ihat there was no necessary connexion between proud am bition and sneaking avarice, and th tz the as pirant to popularity, and through popularity to office, thought merely of the glory of eing useful to his country without the least regard to the quarterly intimations of national gratitude, annexed to the coveted station—formerly men might think in this way, but our commercial age presents much truer and more practical views. The patriot of the nineteenth century despises the delicate cir cuitousness with which his predecessors fleeced the silly public. Ile knows that bribes and fraud-money always lose something in the way, by a process similar to that of friction in mechanics ; he, therefore, takes his bribe or fraud-money directly in integro, and without cere mony. Now this is, in our opinion, a great advantage of our commercial age, for it enables all the intelligent part of the public to estimate, within a fraction of the truth, the value of political quacks and of their drugs ; and, sometimes, as in Mr. O'Connell's case, to strike a balance between the demagogues and their dupes. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 22.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India were firm, and obtained former rates for all descriptions, there was a good and general business transacted ; some of the late arrivals of Sugar are of very ordinary quality. The purchases were 500 hhds, &c., in cluding a public sale of 143 hhds 7 tierces of Bar badoes Sugar, which went off with less spirit, but merchants would not take lower rates, and bought in some lots ; fine yellow sold at 62s 6d, good 59s to 60a 6d, good mid 58s to 58s 6d, mid 56s to 575, and low 54s 6d to 55s 6d per cwt. The accounts come to hand from Barbadoes state that the production of Sugar this sea son had proved to be 21,590 hhds 1,300 tierces and 816 barrels, being nearly 2,000 hhds less than in 1843 ; the whole of the Sugar had been shipped. REFINED.—To-day there was not much demand for Refined goods from the home trade, but brown lumps could not be purchased under 725, and standard lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded crushed is not to be bought under 28s per cwt for delivery. MATTRITILIS.—This afternoon 2,381 bags were offered at public sale, but stiffer rates being required, a small part only found purchasers; fine yellow at 62s to 63s 6d, good 58s Gd to 61s 6d, good middling 56s 6d to 575, middling 54s to 55s 6d, low 535, and fine brown 52s 6d to 53s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 4,099 bags of Bengal Sugar were brought to public sale ; 2,791 consisted of Do%ah, which went off is to is 6d cheaper, fine strong selling at 65s to 67s 6d, good 61s 6d to 625, damp and washed 60s to 67s ; the remainder sold rather lower, good sound greyish date at 565, damp 55s to 565, good sound brown 47s 6d, middling 42s 6d, washed 42s to 46s 6d, and low 38s Gd to 39s 6d. Manilla is wanted, and 1,000 bags of 19w clamp brown were sold privately at 14s 9d to 15s per cwt.. . . FOREIGN.—There has been less inclination manifested to do business in the Foreign Sugar market since last Tuesday, but merchants generally show firmness, and refrain from pressing sales. For Yellow Havannah former rates have been obtained. In White little business has been-' transacted. In Porto Rico the operations are , upon a more extended scale, and 300 hhds have been sold at 19s 6d. Importers of Brazil have accepted prices 6d per cwt under those of this day week. The arrivals of all sorts are small since we last wrote. The deliveries continue good, and the accounts from the Foreign markets are still satisfactory for Foreign Sugar of all descriptions. MOLASSES.—In the price of West India no alteration has occurred, and holders refrain from pressing sales ; purchases to a fair extent have been made, and 300 puns sold, nearly all Antigua, at 23s 6d to 24s per cwt ; the demand is decidedly improving, and arrivals are falling off. For East India previous rates are asked, and ra ther more demsnd exists at 14s to 168 per cwt ; these very low rates are likely to operate materially against shipments from Calcutta and Madras. COFFEE.—Although there are sellers of West India Coffee upon further reduced terms, still few purchasers are to be met with; the business- transacted privately has been trifling in all descriptions, and only 30 pkgs of Dominica have been offered at auction, which sold at 568 to 603 for fine and fine ord, and 40s to 45s per cwt for ord and good ord mixed: the unusual dulness that prevails in the West India market is to be attributed to the abundance and cheapness of all other sorts of Coffee. This afternoon there was rather more demand for Ceylon Coffee,-and 244 bags at public sale were mostly disposed of at stiller rates ; very good ord pale went at 543 to 55s 6,1, fine ord Plantation sort 635, fine fine ord 695, sea damaged 49s to 595, triage 80s to 453, inferior 15s Gd : a few lots were taken in above the value, good ord at 555. By private contract the transactions were upon a more extended scale at 5 ?,s-6.d to 53s per cwt fur good ord. TEA.—The trade have evinced life inclination to purchase any kind of Tea since Tuesday last, and a greater desire has been-shown on the part of holders of Green to realise, and for black prices aro not so firm; the market has been abundantly supplied with nearly every kind ; indved, the quantity-has proved far more than sufficient for the demand. The business transacted has been almost confined to the public sales, at which the trade evinced little inclination to purchase, and the bid dings throughout the sales were very laaguicl, but any material decline in prices was preventfd by merchants buying in and withdrawing large parcels. to-day there was little business.transaeted in the Tea market, and in some cases the rates ec; epted. were rather under those of the public sales : Coegou common heated sold at *4, scund common 10d-to 101 d, and Twankay Is Id to is 2d per lh. SPICES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper met with little attention ; at public sale 835 bags were only partly sold at easier rates, and went at 3kcl for half heavy ; 2-,1-d to 3d for - 'Sea . alamaged first class, 2-ad for second class, 2 . 1-d , f.a. -ditto, and repecked. 430 bags Malabar all damage:lea-ere sold 'at good prices, first class at aial to 31d, second clasi 2 4 0 to- 3d, third class 20 to 2d, ditto, and repacked ; of,wbite 1.07 cases of Tel lichery were taken in at4)d for ,bright coriander, being above the value; thry,e-tote damaged sold at 6s 8d per lh. The quarterly sales of Cinnamon will not take place until the 4th November. . • Rust, BRANDY, AND - • ,—• tuna es Rum is wanted by shippers and. the - .hOme.trA& : prices rule firm for all deseriplions, and 350 puns 'have been dis posed of, 28 to 34 per cent over proof, fait quality at 4s to 4-a 4d : 32 to 36 over, fine 4s lid to ss; and superior 5s 4d to 6s per gallon. For Leeward Island the market is quiet, and prices are still drooping :. the sales are only 120 -puns at 2s 4d to 23 4id proof strength, being id per gallon under former rates. Demerara sold' .at 3s. 54 to 3s 7d, for 32 to 37 per cent over proof. Calcutta at 2s 3d proof. with certificate. The stock of all sorts of Rum is dimi nishing, and is consideraliy less than it was last season at this time. Holders of Brandy remain firm ; Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s Id, puns 4s lld ; 1839, hhds 4s I ld, puns 4s 8d ; 1840, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1841, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d ,• 1812, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, low 3s to 3s 3d, and mid 38 4d to 35 10d per gallon. For Geneva is 9d to is 10d per gallon accepted. For English Corn Spirits prices are still sus tained. To day prices were firmer for Leeward Island Rum, sales being made at 2s 4id to 2s 5d proof. Ja maica is held with firmness. FRUIT. —To -day buyers of Valentia Raisins came forward more freely, and cleared the market at 50s per cwt. Currants were in good request, new Patras at 47s to 495, and Zante ditto at 47s per cwt. For Figs prices remain firm. COCOA..—For West India prices are sustained, but at present little is to be had ; the market will in a few days be better supplied. At auction 10 brls of St. Vincent's went at 30s to 365. Foreign is firms in price and in good demand. RICE.—To-day some parcels of Bengal Rice were sold privately at stiff rates ; there was no public sale. Ca rolina cleaned here is higher, and fetching► 23s to 27s per cwt. Patna is 13s to 17s 6d per cwt. This after noon 133 bags of Rio Tapioca at public sale were taken in at 4id to 5d per lb. SALTPETRE.—The demand is improving for English Refined, and prices rale firm at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt; with rough the market is still sparingly supplied. Cal cutta at auction 1 oito 111 per cent refraction; middling grey at 25s to 25s 6d, 4 td. per cent, for good grey 26s 6d, and washed 235. This afternoon common sound was not to be purchased privately under 24s 6d per cwt. INDIGO.—Since the conclusion of the sale several parcels have been disposed of for shipping and home consumption, but at no improvement in prices. The small parcels of Spanish disposed of have been at prices rather under those that prevailed a few weeks back. TURPENTINE.—The demand has increased consider ably for Spirits, and advanced rates paid ; large parcels have been disposed of at 27s to 28s per cwt ; upon these terms some parties will not sell. In rough several pur chases were made at 7s to 7s 6d per cwt ; the supply is only a moderate one. COCHINEAL—The supply has been large and a further decline in prices of ld to 2d per lb has occurred ; upon these terms there has however been a good business transacted, and the parcels offered at auction were nearly all disposed of. ou.s.—Common descriptions of Fish Oils -are not much wanted at present, , and holders are much inclined to press sales ; for Cod prices have declined 321 15s to 33/ ; and Pale Seal 351 to 351 5s per tun. Southern, however, has sustained the previous value, 281 to 331 having been obtained for low to fine quality. Sperm, fine British, has been fetching 90/ to 911 per tan. Linseed Oil has been taken sparingly, and owing to the increasing supply, the crushers and free sellers at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt. Rape is still wanted, and prices rule firm, pale at 36s to 36s 6d, and brown 35s to 35s 6d per cwt. In Olive there has been rather more business transacted, at 441 to 451 for Gallipoli, 41l to 43l for Spanish, and 391 to 40l per tun for Barbary. Cocoa Nut at 27s 6d to 30s per cwt. Palm 26s 6d to 27s per cwt. American Lard Oil 421 to 451 per ton. TALLOW.—Prices have ruled firm for Russian Tallow, and there has been an increased business transacted on the spot. New P Y Candle has been fetching 4ls 3d to 41s 6d, and old 41s per cwt. For delivery, a good business has been done, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d paid fer the next two months. Town Tallow at 42s to 42s 6d nett cash. Other sorts have been in increased request, and stiffer rates given. For public sale on Friday, 280 casks East South ' A ls m o e b t re an l , 25 f O ti ct o ts rth ks A N m e :r w Sicoaunth; 41 Wales caskasnodf Italian Tallow are decllroed.

The new buildings opposite to the east end of the Exchange have now reached an elevation which enables us to judge sufficiently how much they will obstruct the view and impair the effect of this elabo rate part of the magnificent pile. It must now be obvious to the most economical advocates for small areas and close views, that it would be necessary to clear away the space to Finch-lane, at least, in order to give the tower a chance of being well seen. The oblique view from Birchin-lane has been said, by a correspondent of a Morning paper, to be the most favourable that can be had of the whole structure. But surely it cannot be pretended that the new houses opposite do not interfere with, and materially spoil the effect, even in that view—whereas they exclude us altogether from obtaining, at an adequate distance, a direct view, in which alone the symmetry of the tower itself, and its harmony with the parts upon which it is imposed, could be truly observed. That the architect considered it an important feature, and that he intended it should be imposing, is very evident; and it is also to be supposed that those who selected the design regarded it as such. The ordi nary observer cannot possibly be impressed with its full character and expression from any point of sight that is now accessible; and after the expenditure of so much money, and the employment of so much talent, in erecting a temple bf commerce that might ba worthy of its great purpose, and of the commercial capital of the world, it is a pitiable economy to de tract so much from its grandeur for a saving com paratively mean. This poor parsimony we regret the mere, on account of the grave objections we are com pelled to make to this very tower itself, which is de prived of its only chance of looking to advantage. As seen from the east front over the portico, it does not seem to belong to the building, and as seen from Birchin-lane, it seems a very anomalous superstructure. It is palpably incongruous with the form and character of the whole building. If there must be a tower, the prejudice of Mr. 'rite against projections (expressed in the description of his plan) might have yielded to this necessity, and a beautiful tower might be less objectionable as an appendage to a building of this style and model, than it is inad missible as a part. At all events, there is no excuse for the erection of a tower without a base, and upon the top of a building, in outline and details abso lutely complete. The rich, bold entablature, being continued over the sunken tetrastyle in the centre of the east-end, effectually cuts off the tower from the building below, and renders its baseless character more obvious. We believe, however, that in one point of view, which the poverty or the niggardliness of the City has shut out, this blemish would be less apparent, and the effect of the whole east-end would be rich and pleasing, though not correct —we mean from a moderate distance in direct front of the centre, from Finch-lane. There are yet some particulars in the exterior to which we must make exception, and reluctantly, be cause we admit its general grandeur. The greatest of all is the essential want of characteristic expres sion. So far as we have had opportunities of judging, this complaint would lie against the other designs in the competition. The subject is one of great diffi culty ; and, in what way that difficulty was to be overcome, or the great purpose of the building was to be expressed in its external structure, it would be presumptuous, as it is too late for us, to suggest to the able and accomplished President. Yet we may observe that, in the late Exchange, this was to some extent effected. The arcades and the shops within them gave it the character of a place to which people resorted for trade, and it is scarcely too much to say, that a stranger, knowing only that there was in Lon don a great building for the congress of the merchants of the world, would say—on coming unguided to the spot—" this is the Exchange." The shops, in the intercolumniations of Mr. Tite's work, do not supply the deficiency of character; but they are moreover very poor, and altogether at variance with the bold. ness and richness of the other details. Nor can we cease from fault-finding until we have protested against the erection of those two fragments of an arcade, which stand in such awkward prominence upon the-roof on either side of the pediment. They are said to be chimney stacks, elegantly disguised. Now, if high classical architecture, so unsuited to our climate, continues to be. adopted to our principal buildings, some means of dispensing with chimneys ought to be contrived. - , In the interior, whilst grandeur proportionate to that of the exterior is maintained, no objection forces itself upon the judgment of a candid observer. The area of the ambulatory is spacious—the surrounding architecture, bold, rich, and imposing. The ceiling and walls of arcade are adorned with arabesque, in finely-coloured terracotta, of elegant design and sin gular beauty. The introduction of this material will do wonders in the adornment of interiors, both in public and private edifices. Upon a close examina tion, we are greatly pleased with the exactness and fine finish of all parts of the work ; and this ,remark applies equally to every other department. The ac -curacy of the masonry could not be surpassed, and the carved work—in the , - festoons, capitals, &c.—is admirably executed. The contractor, Mr. Jackson, deserves infinite credit for the manner in which he has completed hid undertaking, with fault!ess work tmanship, and, even in those recent discontented times, ~ ' without strike or murmur amongst the numerous persons employed. With respect tq.the external architecture, having remarked upon blemishes, which might have been avoided, and must be acknowledged with regret, we are the more free to avow our admiration of the 4eneral effect—the magnificence of the portico at the west-end—and the noble design of the entrances in the north and's iuth sides. Whatever faults a severe —or, if he will have it so, an ill-natured and pre sumptuous—criticism may profess to discover, Mr. Tite has produced a splendid specimen of art, honour able to the school to which he belongs, indicative of genius and industry, and sufficient to place him in the first rank of modern architects, from the Pontificat e of Leo to the reign of our own Victoria. Our accom plished Queen will be as well pleased to inaugurate his noble building, as was her glorious predecessor, Elizabeth, in the inauguration of the original struc ture. The spirit of the munificent Gresham may be supposed to look . , down with satisfaction upon this worthy tribute to his memory, and the citizens of London will long be proud of their " New Royal Exchange." SURREY SESSIONS-TUESDAY. (Before T. PUCKLE, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates.) James Murphy, a man of rather respectable appear ance, against whom there were two indictments, was charged with having fraudulently obtained the sum of 21. from Edward Horne, under the pretence of selling him two parcels of black and green tea of 71bs. each, but which in reality contained nothing but dust and ashes. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Charnock. From the nature of the evidence, which created no little merriment. the following appeared to be the facts of the case :—The prosecutor is a grocer and tea-dealer, carrying on business in Frederick place, Kent-road. On the 12th of May last the prisoner entered the prosecutor's shop, in a mysterious manner, and in formed him, after cautiously looking about in all directions, that he did a little bit in the " smug gling line," and offered him some splendid green tea at 3s. 6d. per lb., and some fine flavoured black at 2s. 6d. The prosecutor being delighted with the prospect of a cheap bargain, from whence he might realise a hand some sum, readily agreed to become the purchaser at the stipulated price ; but as he could not readily account to the exciseman for an increase of his stock without a per mit, the prosecutor would not venture on buying more than 141bs. at one period. The prisoner then introduced the two parcels containing 71bs. each, and tearing open the paper in a careless manner with his finger, produced about half an ounce of the very best flavoured gunpow der tea, worth about 7s. or Bs. per lb. The second parcel was opened in a similar manner, and about the same quantity of black tea was also produced, of a very superior quality. The prosecutor wished to have the tea opened, but this was objected to by the pri soner,4 who replied, " Oh no, you have the sample;; its all smuggled tea, and in the contraband busi ness we never show our goods, but if you like you can pay me for the green parcel and leave the black un paid for until I call again with another lot, in about a fortnight's time." This was agreed to, and the prose cutor gave the prisoner 21. on account. On opening the " bargains," he discovered, that with the exception of half an ounce of tea in each parcel, placed artfully where it might he easily opened; the contraband goods turned out to be sawdust and ashes. In a few days afterwards, prosecutor read the history of the " doings ' of the bold smuggler in the newspapers, from which he learned that the prisoner was one of the most experienced " duffers " in the metropolis. Cross-examined by Mr. CHARNOCK—The duty on the tea would be 2s. 24-d. per lb. Am in the habit of pur chasing contraband goods. Have no objection to decided bargains. Don't know whether mine is a cheap tea establishment. Have not so many customers as I wish. It may be defrauding the revenue. Those who purchase smuggled goods may under Sell the fair dealer. Don't carry on a roaring trade. Shan't get rich by this trans action.—(Loud laughter.) The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but having re ceived a good character from several witnesses, the jury strongly recommended him to mercy. The prisoner was again indicted for feloniously steal ing, at Bermondsey, a half-soVereign, the property of Mrs. Pett it t. The prosecutrix keeps a chandler's-shop in Long-lane, Bermondsey, and on the day named in the indictment, he entered the shop of the prosecutrix to induce her to purchase some smuggled tobacco, which she positively refused to do, telling the prisoner no good came of such transactions. The prisoner observed her wrap up half a sovereign in gold in a piece of . paper, which she placed on the counter, and which the prisoner instantly snatched up, and run out of the - stipp, leaving his two valuable parcels of tobacco bebind him, which on being opened were found to contain nothing but brick-dust and ashes. The prosecutrix accidentally met the prisoner in the City last week, and gave him into custody: - The jury returned a verdict' of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN asked the jury if they still wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy; or withdraw the re commendation ? The jurY'replied that they would still recommend the prisoner te'inercy. The CHAIRMAN informed the prisoner that the deci sion of the jury was a most fortunate occurrence for him, as it had saved him from transportation, having been found guilty of 'a :crony and an impudent fraud. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment and hard labottr a,t Brixton. T he COURT informed' the prosecutor that they would .. not allow him his expenses, " and ,stud that this nefarious system of underselling thef air trader was anything but a creditable transaction for a person who professed to be a respectable tractaman. POLICE IN.TELLI,GE NCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young. woman, named Mary Saunders, was brought before Alderman _Gibbs,. by Mr. Owen, the proprietor of the Yorkshire Grey- tavern, in Lower Thames-street, as a destitute person. Mr. Owen stated than the young woman came to town, from Leeds, - by' the lull steam-packet, on Thursday, with her master and mistress and two children, and they lodged at his:house till Saturday. On Saturday morning they . .went out, and, at about twelve o'clock, the.master and mistress and children returned, and the bill haNing,'been settled, they-took away their trunks, and bundle which Mary Saun ders had brought to the house, containing her clothes. It was supposed, of course, that the servant girl was provided for somewhere, hut, on the evening of the day her master and mistress' departed she called at Mr. Owen's house, in tears . ; aid said that her master had taken her to a distant part of the town, on her way to which she saw `Parliament-street '' on a board at the end , a sixeei, and told her to wait for hig) in a public-1)9113e for four minutes, but never returned. Sheknew.nothing of London, and not being possessed of a farthing's..worth of property except the clothes on her back, the landlord boarded and lodged her, or she mist have been reduced to dreadful inis , ?ry. At last it-occurred to him that the chid magistrate might suggest some plan by which service might be rendered to her. Alderman Ginns- 7 Andttieydeliberately took away the girl's bundle as welt as their own property? Mr. Owen—They took away everything. Alderman GIBB3—It is a very extraordinary story, indeed. What might have. been the value of the bundle ? • Mary Saunders said she did not exactly know; but it contained all the goods she had in the world, two gowns, two shifts, three pairs of stockings, and some other little necessary arti , :ks of apparel. Alderman GIBBS—What was your master? Mary Saunders—He was a copperplate printer, at Leeds,' and worked for a master. L lived with my master and mistress four months. • Alderman GIBBE—And you cannot form any opinion of the manner in which they have disposed of themselves ? Mary Saunders=Not at all, my Lord. My master told me mistress was gone to buy apples for the two children, and when he took me to the public house he said he would he back immediately, and then I waited and waited till near four o'clock. Alderman GIBBS—How did you find your way to Mr. Owen's house ? Mary Saunders—l asked a policeman the way to the Custom. house, and when I got there I easily found Mr. Owen. . Mr. Owen—The only opinion I can form is, that the master and mistress of the poor girl brought her to town merely to have the benefit of her attendance upon their children, and determined to get rid of her as soon and as effectually as they could after their arrival. I have been imposed upon more than once by the representations of persons who have landed from steamers, but the poor girl has nothing at all about her to justify the suspicion that she is an im postor. Alderman GIBBS—You have acted with kindness, which has probably saved the poor girl from ruin. Be so good as to take care of her till Friday, when we shall learn more about her. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) then wrote to the former mistress of the young woman. BOW-STREET. William Stevens, John Wyatt, and James Long, were brought up before Mr. Jardine, charged with having committed a burglary in the house of Mr. Nicholas Walker, landlord of the Barley Mow, 111, Drury-lane, yesterday morning. Police-constable West, 106 F, stated that he was on duty yesterday morning in Drury-lane at about three o'clock, when he saw the prisoners standing round the prosecutor's house. He went round his beat, and on his return heaw the prisoners again. Stevens was standing on the top of the wall. He took them to the station-house. Ten shillings and eleyenpence in copper was found upon Stevens. He had also four half-crowns and ten shillings in silver, and a chisel without a handle. Upon Long was found the handle of the chisel. Mr. Walker, the prosecutor, stated that Stevens had formerly been in his service as potboy. Witness was called up by the policeman, and upon examina tion he discovered that his premises had been entered, and he missed a pound's worth of silver, ten half crowns, ten shillings, and eleven shillings and ten pence in copper. The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and they were fully committed to Newgate for trial for burglary. kins, the police-sergeant, came to the house and took her into custody on the charge of stealing the infant, under the circumstances already described. The girl Blake, who was left in care of the child by its parents the day it was taken away by the pri soner, stated, that Smith at first wanted her to get the infant of a woman, Simmons, saying that she only wanted to take it for a sh3rt time to show to a gentleman at the west-end of the town, from whom she expected to receive a sum of money. The witness added, that she had no idea, when she permitted the prisoners to take Mrs. Purdy's child, away, that they wanted to steal it, but only merely for the purpose of showing it to the gentleman, and then returning home with it. A publican in Drury-lane gave testimony to the effect that in a night or two after the prisoner quitted her husband, she was.present at a concert given at his house, and that in going away she fell down a flight of stairs, and, as she appeared to be heavy in the family way, he (the witness) and his wife thought the fall would have produced _a miscarriage. She, however, jumped up, and walked away as if no thing had happened ; and as he was afterwards in formed that she was not enciente at the time, he now considered that she had put something on her, to induce a belief that she was near her.titne of lying-in. It was here stated, that a bundle of rags which the prisoner Smith wore underneath her clothes, to make her appear as if she was in the family-way, were discovered hidden in the room she occupied, and the fact was confirmed by a female v,ho saw her take the bundle off her person. The prisoners who still asserted their innocence of any intention to steal the child, were committed for trial, the Magistrate observing, that it was a. case of a very remarkable description. • QUEES-SQUARE:- Yesterday Bridget Stanton; :a feinale -apparently about thirty years of age, of respectable appearance and good address, who possesied;tome'claims to per sonal beauty, was charged with being,drUnlc and dis orderly on the previous_afternoon : A police-constable proved having found her in Grosvenor-place. She was insulting ladies and gen tlemen who passed, and endeavoured to force her way into two or three houses. - She,-was drunk , and fre quently spat at people. - Mr. BOND inquired what answer she had to the charge ? Defendant—l went tto Grosvenor-place, Sir, to have an interview with Sir J. Graham. I wanted redress at his hands. I know Lady Graham well. I have Guernsey and Ireland both in my hands. lam a soldier's daughter. My brothers have been soldiers. I cannot spend money in GUernSey. The constable intimated to the - Magistrate his opinion that the lady was deranied. Mr. BOND put several questions to the unfortunate female, in order to ascertain whether she had any friends in London. Her answers were very incoherent, but she 'stated that she received an allowance through the hands of a gentleman named Whitehead, at Chelsea. Mr. BOND directed that that gentleman should be sent for, and on bis arrival, he ,Ilad a few minutes' conversation with the magistrate.' It appears that the unfortunate female has been subject to fits of temporary insanity Torupwards of seven years, and lad been confined in sever a l l unat i c asylums. Her malady had been brought on from ex cessive drinking, and nothing will induce her to re frain from ardent spirits. But little of her history is known, except that she once carried on business as a milliner, and received the patronage of persons of rank, and that Mr. Whitehead has a small fund placed at his disposal for her benefit, but by whom does not appear. Mr. BOND direoted that she should be taken to St. George's Workhouse for the present. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, OCT. 21.—The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in Conciliation Hall. The chair was taken by Counsellor Mackey. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, con fining his observations to the registry, and congratu lated the Association on the success which attended its exertions. Dr. NAGLE read a letter from-Mr. Henry Grattan, M.P., which accompanied a presentation of 100 copies of the memoirs of his father, the late Mr. Grattan, to the Association. The letter went at considerable lenghth into the policy of establishing repeal reading rooms through the country, and dwelt on the benefits that would unquestionably be derived 'from them. The writer contrasted the extensive system of educa tion that prevailed in America - with that existing in this country, and then observed,- « that it would be for the Association to follow up the great example afforded by that country, and forward the establish• ment of libraries everywhere, and support these read ing-rooms throughout the country. With that view I beg to place at the disposal of the Association 100 copies of the memoirs of the late Mr. Grattan, amount ing to 400 octavo volumes. They comprise the most interestirg period of Irish history; they set forth the proceedings of 1782, and detail the successful efforts of the glorious and immortal volunteers; 'they con tain authentic letters of the ablest statesmen in Ire land and England, and official doauments that never Isefore appeared. They may serve to raise the cha racter of that country which it is now the fashion to depress, and rescue from oblivion' .the most glorious period of her annals, when het' people were strong, and generous, but, alas, too credulotra - and too con fiding; they may teach the rising generation to re vere the memory of those depaited -- patiiots who struggled so nobly for their liberties ; may still cherish the virtues of her people; peal generate a race of patriots ; and thus convert them into a race of heroes." The Honourable Gentleman then moved a rote of thanks to Mr Grattan. fOr nis magnificent donation, which was seconded by'the Hon. Mr. Hut chinson, and passed with acclamation. Mr. DlaunicE O'CoNsiELL ha,ided in 20 1. from Wa terford, 81. 18s. 6d. from Gla , gow ; _aril then ob served, that he had to present the Association with a proof that the cause of repeal was making considerable progress amongst their sturdy' countrymen, the Pres byterians of the north. The Hon. Gentlemen then handed in several contributions from the north, in cluding 291. 10s. from Dungibbon; county of Derry; and 6/. 163. from Dungannon ; and moved' a 'marked vote of thanks to the subscribers. - • The Hon. Mr. HETcnnisoN, in seconding the mo tion, said, that from the information he had been able to obtain,. he could fully bear'out the Observations of Mr. O'Connell with regard to the -- spread of repeal principles in the north of Ireland: Mr. O'NEILL DAUNT (having hand. 4 in '7l. from Airdrie, in Scotland), had the disagreeable - duty de volved upon him of moving "That . the names of two Scotch repeal wardens, who had publicly avowed themselves ribbonmen, should be struOk . .off the books of the Association." It was on the representation of their fellow-wardens, that the course was adopted. It had been said that O'Connell- encouraged ribbonism. To that calumnious assertion he would reply, that it was as false as hell. Mr. M. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion ; and then proceeded to denounce emphatically the ribbon sys tem, stigmatising it as injurious to the best interests of the country. In concluding, he observed, that if the individuals in question did not retract their senti ments, and express a regret for their conduct, be fore that day fortnight, he would feel it his duty to move that their names be publicly expoSed on the walls of the Conciliation-hall. Captain BRODERICK and the Hon. Mr. HUTCHIN SON severally addressed the meeting, and their obser vations were warmly received by, the meeting. After some routine business had-been disposed of, Mr. M. O'CortztELL announced the rent for the week to be 3911. 6s. The meeting then adjourned. MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CO,NNELL. A circular has been issued, announcing that Mr. O'Connell has fixed upon Wednesday, the 20th Nov., for the provincial dinner in Limerick. Mr. O'Con nell is to arrive in Limerick on that day; on his re turn from Darrynane Abbey. • STATE OF TIPPERARY. At Clonmel Quarter Sessions, on--Thursday, Mr. Sergeant Howley, in addressing the grand jury, said—" In looking over the calendar, I find that there are 73 cases of indictments ti" eoiniThefore you, in hich 124 persons are charged With' different offences.

If we cast our eyes towards the French, as our principal competitors, we find that the methods in practice here are precisely the same as they have in use ; that in the mechanical branches we are superior, and the colours we employ are far more durable; that at one time we equalled their productions of the present day, and the only difference that exists is our want of proper artists, and of course the want of pro per instructors, to educate them for the profession. While they employ (as did our former manufacturers) men who understand the principles of design and the harmony of colouring, and who make it their aim to unite every beauty with taste and cultivated judgment, we throw all this important branch upon persons who, to gain a scanty ligipg, require to unite the two professions of designer and dealer In block cutting. It is not to be expected but that those men will throw off a number of patterns of most inferior quality ; they cannot be supposed to pay the atten tion which is. required to produce good work, nor have they ever had the means of educating themselves sufficiently to enable them to equal work which is the result of careful and indefatigable study and prac tice. This shows a great want of encouragement on the part of the English manufacturers that we must hope to see remedied. The designer in England is not deemed the man of talent—the man of genius—who is looked up to as possessing great and superior abilities, whose refinement of mind en sures him respect and honour wherever he goes ;—no, he on whom the manufacturer depends for his success in trade—he on whom devolves the important task cf creating from his practice or mind beautiful forms and elegant combinations, it is a melancholy fact, is paid less for his labour than the mechanic that is merely employed to print the pattern after it is pre pared to his hand, who has no necessity for thought, nothing but that which is within the power of com mon animal strength to exert. —The Budder. MILITARY FUNERAL.—tiIe military display of the veteran corps of pensioners was on Thursday brought to a close in performance of a melancholy duty—the burial of a comrade. James Mason, the veteran in queAtion, died very suddenly on Tuesday night. He had been out at the inspection all the day previous, apparently in good health, when Major-General Sir Niel Douglas, who retained a lively recollection of his services during the late war, entered into conversation with him, the de ceased having been with Sir Niel at the memorable field of Waterloo; on which occasion Mason acted as field bugler to that distinguished officer. The corps hav ing formed in military order before the residence of the deceased in the Lawnmarket—a firing party in front with arms reversed, and the band—proceeded with the corpse shoulder high to the New Cemetery at Wallis , ton, where his remains were interred with the usual mi litary honours. The streets were crowded with spec tators, attracted by the novelty of the spectacle.— Caledonian Mercury. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We ob serve that during the winter months the second-class carriages are to be closed in by means of windows, as in the the first-class carriages. This will be an immense improvement, and highly conducive to the comfort of the passengers travelling by this class of carriages, which hitherto have been the least liked of all from the strong current of cold air running through them.—Gtisyou, Argus. NEW GAME-LAW ACT.—Sir James Graham's pro posed bill for the modification of the game-laws has been sent round to several influential sporting noblemen and landholders, and has, it is said, excited as much general indignation amongst the squirearchy, at such a diminu tion of their privileges, as the new Medical Bill has done ; amongst the surgeons of the country.—Leeds Times UNION-HALL. Amelia Moss, alias Smith, and Mary Staunton, were placed' at the bar for' re-examination, charged with stealing an infant belonging to a man named Purdy, living in Bermondsey. The circumstances attending the stealing of the child from its parents, and its subsequent restoration, have already appeared in our police report. A woman lodging in the house where Moss con veyed the child, stated thatwhen she brought it home, she said, in accounting for her absence, that as she was walking along the streets she was attacked with the pains of labour, and was conveyed to an hospital, where she was delivered of the infant she then had in her arms; that she asked witness if the inf an t was not very like her husband, and she Complained of being very ill, and having given the child some anniseed, she then went to bed, and took the infant with her. While she was asleep, the , husband, who is a police man, came to the house, and he questioned her as to the cause of her absenting herself so long from home. She made the same excuse with respect to her having been delivered of a child in the hospital, and promised to take him there the following day to convince him of the fact.
