FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The English, as contrasted with the French press, and the pet qualities with John Bull, for a " leading journal," have been humorously de scribed (as our readers may have seen in our columns) by a weekly Contemporary. They correspond to party weak and partly strong points of the English mind, and may be pretty well comprised under the two heads of the Sea-saw and the Fault-find. Nothing can tend more to suicide in this immi nent month of November, than the contemplation —not of "London's column"—for that the cirium largitas has now rendered anti-suicidal---but of Lon don's columns. As we run our eyes down them, what do we see, but now a violent attack upon a pasty of country gentlemen, met for the innocent purpose of eating and drinking and improving the condition of the poor—now " dreadful doings" in a union workhouse, and then an ,elaborate exposure of prison discipline, lunatic asylums, and the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. A little lower down we have a letter from a poor old woman who has been run over by an iron hoop—or a gentleman complains that his pe a c e of mind is disturbed by the matutinal beating of mats at house doors—or some unfortunate person h s strayed into Mr. Close's church at Cheltenham, and seen that gentleman turning in his devotions towards all quarters of the compass but the East, when straight ways ho rushes to pen and ink, and unbosoms his sor rows to the Times, knowing full well the condolement he will meet with in that quarter. There never was a piper which had so many unhappy correspondents as that journal. All its "old subscribers" and "constant readers" are the ino,t melancholy race of beings in existence, fit only for the company of Mr. Croaker, in the Gaodnatured Man. If we are to: believe tl em all, society would, indeed, be in an awful state. '1 he least crimes that we have to reproach ourselves with appear to be irreligion, avarice, cruelty, oppression, injustice ; and how Heaven has spared us so long, and still continues to spare us, is really a matter of won der. We certainly must be in a very deplorable condition ; but there is one pleasing reflection left to console us, and that is, that if the world is " out of joint" (as it would undoubtedly seem to be), there is one at last born to " set it right." We presume it is because the Herald (as Punch lately affirmed) is not it newspaper, that it no longer follows, even at humble distance, this Flagellant procesion. In c.Ji sequence' we suppose, of having ceased to have any thing to do with journalism, how cheerful and con tented the Standard and Herald are, and have been for some years past! Everything with them is couleur de rose since the Tories have been in. We have, as they assure us, the best of all possible Minis tries, the wisest magistrates, the most enlightened country gentlemen, the most exemplary Bishops —in short, everything to please us, and nothing to complain of, if it be not a plethory of riches, anal a superabundance of physical comforts. They know nothing of harsh poor-laws, oppressive guar dians, disorderly prisons, and ill-conducted lu natic asylums—nothing of the long train of evils on which the Times is for ever dwelling. Their friends are never run over by iron hoops, besprinkled by the twirling of a mop, or driven to madness by the conduct of unfeeling housemaids and the beating of mats ; no, these misfortunes they escape, and all their clergymen, we have no doubt, turn the right way. There are classes which must make up their minds to be treated as ferce naturce by the small print " pro riders" to the lion's mouth of leading journalism Amongst these may be reckoned Low Church Bishops or Archbishops, Deans and Chapters, Poor-1s w Commissioners and Guardians—and, it would Seem also, Wesleyan Missionaries. These, like the rest of animated nature, have particular descriptions of vermin which prey on each ; and which, in journalist entomo logy, are classified under appropriate appellations—as " Catholicus," "Churchman, "Master ofArts,""Rate payer," &c. &c. There are individuals, however, of more sensitive minds than can be supposed in any of the above categories ; who are not class hardeeed against censure ; and to whom the position of dangling gibbetted in the columns of the Times (for example) is truly formidable. We would venture, therefore, to recommend (except, of course, in the case of pre • lutes or poor-law guardians) that such individuals should be spared from figuring in this way, when milder treatment might be sufficient; and that, as our leading Contemporary has a giant's strength, so it should exercise that strength with the bonhommie which, notwithstanding the dreadful apprehensions we were taught to entertain in our nurseries, we have every reason to regard as rather a giant-like characteristic. STANDARD.—The Soult• Guizot Ministry has completed the fourth year of its existence. It would be no novel remark, either in the way of wonderment or praise, to say that the present French Cabinet is the longest in duration of any that has been finatied eince 1830. Such compliment was paid to the states men composing this Administration last year, and even with no slight emphasis the year preceding. But we can -ay now, confidently, that which, at the periods referred to, we could only utter in hope, that we see no likelihood of chancre, within any given period of time, so far as we may be allowed to look tOrward to, without being open to the charge of rash speculation in the composition of the administration of France. Our hope in the stability of the French Cabinet rests upon three distinct grounds Firstly, upon the policy which they are engaged in perfecting ; secondly, upon the success which has hitherto crowned their measures ; and, thirdly, upon the character of the statesmen who tom the Administration. The policy which actuates the Statesmen, in whose hands are the destinies of France, has lately received an exposition from the mouth of his Majesty Louis Philippe, in his replies to the addresses ficen Portsmouth, London, and Dover. It is peace with Europe, guaranteed by the cordial understanding of Great Britain and France, and we need hardly ad.!, that so long as the two great Constitutional Govern ments of the west are united, war in Europe is impoe• Bible. We believe that the sentiment of peace is in the hearts of the great majority of the French people, as we know it to animate those of our own. We be lieve so, because we see the people of France in a state of unexampled prosperity. We believe it, because the whole country is in such a state of repose, that vie have almost forgotten that there were such things as emeutes, that previous to the accession of the present Ministry were the familiar expression of ceaseless discontents. And we believe it the more firmly, be cause we see France, through the enterprising spirit of her Government, entering that wide field of com mercial exertion, abroad and at home, which, inde pendently of the creation of bonds of interest anal friendship with other nations, and our own especially, affords an outlet for the restless activity of a viva cious people, in a manner free, healthy, cheerful, anal halm, different from the mad stimulants of laver and invasion, because constant and continual and ever re warding. We place in the next degree of order the history of the measures of the administration, because the great policy of the day has only been approached through difficulties the most complex and disheart ening. We think it a grateful pleasure to stand upon the hill, and at the one view look back upon the path we have laboriously trodden, while at the same tin.e we command the promised land. Having thus ; enjoyed ourselves, el e may, if we please, once more toil through th e d e t a il o f diff erences , suc h as we trust we shall never have to encounter in reality again. The history of the past four years is one of immortalhwonasourtol. summoned ( . lu fro izot and his colleague`Then he s. his ambassadorship of London to t a k e the h m elm, he found th e Anglo-French alliance broken ,u ,F : r ce regardi ng England Lord' as incarnat e d i n ai rs merstr, and consequently all that Lord Parlmetu Guizot, with his happy art of charac n ter ls: isin g a Ai. situation, pronounced the word isolation. This word England blamed and could not und ers t and. But it expressed the feelings of France, and satisfied them. With the accession of Sir Robert Peel that isola tion began to thaw; the two Governments quictdy unelerstood each other. When men at both sides are enimated by good intentions, and possess f ran k jxanners, with clear heads, they soon sp alc out without fear or equivocation ; and M. Guizot again, by a happy phrase, " cordial understanding," hit the mean between suspicious reserve and full alli ance. In France this phrase, entente cordiale, has been attacked right and left. We think late events have tested its propriety. Cordial understanding means goodwill, or the disposition to treat in the best temper, and with the best spirit, such incidents as might, in the case of mutual irritation or suspicion, lead to hostile results. Now, suppose that in the late complicated questions of Otaheite and Morocco, there existed at either side a predisposition to take offence, and having taken offence, to demand unwarrantable satisfaction, could those questions have been resolved as they have been ? If neither Otaheite nor Morocco leaf to war, we thank the entente cordiale, uttered a year ago, in that foreseeing spirit, and with that pregnant meaning, such as only men of the first order of genius can give to expression. The journals at this side of the water, who at the fir.,t blush of the matter fulminated threats about Tahiti and declared war about Morocco, were cer tainly not among those who understood the enten to cordiale as the resumed exposition of a grand policy, to which England and France were equally parties. We now enter, we do believe, upon a third phase of policy, in which cordial understanding will be changed for cnrdial alliance. 'We have no doubt that Louis Phi lippe will, with that fearless frankness exhibited so lately in his replies while in th country, call upon the Chambers to rebate and ratify the policy adhered to by his Government; and that it will be the glory of the Soult-Guizot Administration to have consummated the great scheme of turning the critical point at which France, abandoning the spirit of war invasion for mere war's sake, shall adopt the ideas, already established in England, of civilisation through free institutions, with honourable labour and commercial enterprise. The third ground of our hope is the character of the statesmen who form the Administration. They are a united Cabinet; they have long toiled together; they have battled and they have won ; they have en dured no shameful defeats ; and they Each stand per sonally high. While all hale been victorious, each has had his individual triumphs. Marshal Soult is a great administrator; by his hands the army has been reorganised. Of M. Guizot less may be said than of another man, for his fame is European. M. Duchatel, the Minister of tne Interior, is distinguished for the solidity of his understanding, and is every day rising in debating qualities. M. de Villemain is an accom plished debater of the very first class ; upon him has devolved the delicate task of upholding the independ ence of the University, without lessening the just authority of the clergy in the eyes of the people. The Minister of Finance, the Minister of Public Works, and the Minister of Justice, have severally distinguished themselves in their departments. To such men the Op position have none of any weight to oppose, but them the Opposition are split into factious sections, soldere d together for the moment, and for a temporary pur pose, while the Cabinet are united heart and hand. It was owing to this conscious inferiority of talent, to the impossibility of finding a man capable of combatting M. Guizot, that they, resorted last session to the disgraceful attempt to cry him down, and :only afforded their mighty antagoni-t an occasion for covering himself with fresh glory, as a man whose courage was equal to his unrivalled oratory. Thus, whether we look to the mission of the Cabinet, that mission of peace and civilisation to which the King has attached the glory of his reign, or take a retrospective view of the struggles and triumphs of the administration ; or look at the men themselves, individually or as a Government; or rather when we take in the whole combination, no matter how rapidly or crudely, we are forced to the irresistible conclusion that the French cabinet giv,•s more evidence of stability, with power to carry out its views, than it did at any period during the four previous years of its honourable existence. STATE OF TRADE.—There is no change in cur market this week. Yarn continues extremely scarce, owing to the greater part of the spinners being unde r contract, and prices are consequently buoyant. In good s there is no great amount of business doing, bat pricts are quite firm.—Manchester Guardian. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Neu, PI ice Current, Oct. 29.) SUGAR.—To-day buyers of West India Sugar came forward with more freedom, and for bright 3 ellow sorts there was a good demand; indeed, the quantity on show is not ample for the wants of the trade, and very full rates were paid; in inferior kinds a fair business was transacted, and generally upon former terms; but there is still a large supply. The total purchases are 500 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 144 hhds 6 lava of Baibadoes Sugar. which went upon former terms, excepting for the low sorts, which are rather cheaper, the whole found purchasers, fine selling at 62s sd, good 59s to 60s good middling 57s to 58s 6d, middling 56s to 56s 6(1, and low middling 55s to 55s 6d per cwt. The Sugar on show is that principally worth from 53s to 57s 6d. Raw Sugar is cheaper than at Liverpool, Bristol, or Glasgow, by 2i to 5s per cwt. REiINED.—To-day there was a good business trans ac ed in Refined Sugar for home consumption; brown grocery lumps fetched 725, and standard lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar was much sought after, and buyers were compelled to pay 28s 6d per cwt for delivery. For Loaves an extensive demand has sprung up, and the market has been nearly cleared, 400 hhds have been sold, 101 b at 29s 6d per cwt. Matinnius.—lmporters have shown firmness, and the market has been sparingly supplied with all descrip tions : by private contract some parcels have been dis posed of upon former terms : at public sale 89 bags were disposed of, middling yellow at 545, low Ms 6d, mid brown 465, and very low black brown 39s per cwt. The quantity remaining in first hands is reduced to 12,000 bags ; there has been one small arrival since this day week. The stock is rather less than it was last year at this period. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 2,296 bags of Bengal Sugar were offered, the principal por t-on consisted of grey brown and inferior yellow, they went off with heaviness, and a part only sold at rather lower rates, brown at 40s to 435, low and middling yel low 50s to 53s 6d, good middling 57s 6d, good grey 57s 6d to 58s 6d, low and mid 52s to 565, but the better kinds fetched full rates, middling white 59s 6cl to 60s, good mid and good 61s to 63s 6d, fine yellow Dobah 66s to 675, mid to good 61s to 645. Madras, 773 bags, duty paid, and 1,344 bags, in bond, were offered at auction, the former nearly all taken in, low brown 42s to 42s 6d, washed 41s to 41s 6d, damp low to middling 42s to 445, and good 47s to 51s ; the latter sold at lower rates, very coin:non damaged dark brown at 13s 6d to 14s 6d, mill 17s to 19s, better quality 22s 6d to 30s, and good sound bright yellow 30s per cwt. For public sale on Friday 8,100 bags of Bengal Sugar were declared, 1,500 ( * )f which consist of fine yellow chrystalised. FOREIGN.—To- day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and little business was transacted privately, but holders would not submit to lower rates. On 'Change a floating cargo of 700 chests of white Bahia was sold, deliverable here, at 22s 6d per cwt, being a full price. MoLasse.s.—This afternoon, at public sale, 27 hhds of Bengal Molasses, duty paid, were taken in at 21s, being above the value, and 2 casks of Madras in bond at 7s 6d per cwt. _ _ _ Cocoa.—This afternoon, 21 bags of Grenada Coeur, at public sale, fetched 42s 6d per cat, for middling Red, being the full value. COFFEE.—The lower descriptions of West India Cof fee are abundant, and further reduced rates have been accepted, still the trade purchased with caution ; for the better kinds there are few orders, and prices are still going down. To-day there was little inclination to purchase Ceylon Coffee, and 50s ed to 51s per cwt is the value of good ordinary. Mocha was in dull demand, and 167 bales 10 cases at auction were only partly sold at low rates—bold rather dull greenish Mysore went at 38s to 40s 6d. yel lowish mixed 395, low broken 18s to 225, and sea damaged 31s to 58s, middling small sound greenish mixed with Mocha was taken in at 655, and good mil greenish Mucha at 75s per cwt. The stock of West India Coffee at this port is 147 casks less, but of barrels and bags 3,143 more than last year at this time. Of Mocha it is 890 bales, and of Ceylon 21,696 bags greater than in 1843 at this period, but of other East India sorts it is 15,576 bags less than at that time. TEA.—'There has been more activity in the market since this day week. Importers are less inclined to realise, and none has been brought to public sale ; Con gou has been in good request but hollers are unable to obtain any advance in prices; the rates previously established are, however, sustained, large parcels have been sold at 10d to 104 d for common, and 10Id to lld per lb for good common. Of fine sorts the supply at market is small, and they are held for stiff rates. To-day several parcels of Tea were disposed of, and at stiffer rates for the lower qualities. Common sound Congou cash is with difficult to be purchased a t 10d per lb ; common yell ow leaf 'rwankay is fetching Is lid to ls 2d per lb. _ FamT.—To-day Currants met with increased atten tion and prices are firmer for Old, Zante and Cephalonia fetching 41s to 42.1, Patras 42s to 44s—New Patras are 47s to 50s, and Zante 46s to 47s per cwt. Valentia Raisins are much wanted, but there are at present none in the market. Of Turkey Pulled Figs none are left in first hands. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a much better demand for Leeward Island Rum, and the rates paid are rather above those formerly quoted —the market for Jamaica has been quiet and only a limited business has been transacted by shippers or the home trade ; 100 puns have been sold at 4s to 4s 2d for fair quality 30 to 32 per cent overproof. Demerara quality selling at 3s 3d to 3s 6J. For Calcutta Rum 2s 3:1 proof has been refused for a large parcel. Prices are fully supported for Brandy, and a good demand exists at the following rates, viz. :—Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s Id, puns 4s Ild ; 1839, hhds 4810 d, puns 4s 8d ; 1840, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1841, hhds 4s 9d, puns 4s 7d ; 1842, hhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, low 3s to 3s 3d, and middling 3s 4d to 3s 10d. Geneva has been taken sparingly; export sort at is 9d to is 10d, and fine for duty at 2s 6d to 3s 6d. Prices are still sup- ported fur English Corn Spirits. To-day an increased desire was shown to purchase Brandy, and large parcels were, disposed of at firm rates, 4s 4d and 4s 6d paid for Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1842. East d India Rice was sought some parcels were after, and 600 bags of Madras at auction of privately at full rates ; sold, in consequence of ratheorn7lre however only partly higher prices being asked— I mid rather dusty andand br a oketl went at O s 6 d to 10s, low se ditto 9s to 9s 6d,damaged 55 to 8s 6d per cwt.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. Yesterday several pickpockets, who were found carrying on their occupation in the crowd on Mon day, were punished summarily by commitment to Bridewell. John Osborne was charged on suspicion of having stolen five gold pins. Joseph Thompson bt policeman 62 F, stated that he was in Fleet-street about one o'clock, dressed in plain clothes, and saw the prisoner steal a silk handker chief. The gentleman from whom it was stolen declined to prosecute. On searching the prisoner another silk handkerchief was found on him, also two gold pins in his hat, and three inside his coat. Sir CHAPMAN 11,14.RSHALL remanded the prisoner till Tuesday, to give the officer time to discover the owners. John Andrews, a respectable looking young man, was charged with stealing a gold pin from a gentle man unknown. Robert Hodgman, of Berkeley-street, Lambeth, deposed to seeing the prisoner steal a pin from the cravat of a gentleman in Fleet-street, about half-past three in the afternoon. Charles Goff, policeman 83 L, stated that be was watching the prisoner, and apprehended him, but lost the gentleman in the crowd: On searching the pri soner he found four gold pins, one broken, and a silver card-case. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said he would in this, AS in the last case, give the officer a week to find the owner. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. George Surfen, a young man, lodging in Tredegar square, was charged with assaulting a boy about 15 years old, named Joseph Jackson. Jackson stated that he resides in Leman-street, and that while he was standing in the crowd near the Exchange, the prisoner, without any provocation, struck him over the cap with an ash stick, and cut his head open. Defendant said Jackson was one of a gang of twenty impudent young rascals, who were amusing themselves with what is called bonneting, or knock ing the hat over the eyes of all the respectable persons who came within reach, and upon whom the operation could be practised without detection. He saw them annoy several ladies and gentlemen, and being at last served so himself, he turned round and punished the joker. He called a gentleman, named Westcott, who deposed that the prisoner knocked his hat over his eyes, but there were such a set of young ruffians with him, that witness did not venture to resent the insult. Sir C. MARSHALL said he could not take the provo cation as justifying the assault. The boy might have been given into custody if he had done wrong. Ile could not discharge him, unless he satisfied the boy for the injury he had done him. The defendant agreed to do so, and was discharged. Mark Brown, a surgeon, was charged Kith assault ing Sergeant Cale, of the City Police. The sergeant stated that the defendant annoyed him by calling out wrong names, when the carriages drew up to take up the visitors, and upon requiring him to stand further back, defendant struck and kicked him. Mr. Brown complained that the officer exhibited want of temper, and exceeded his duty. Sir C. MARSHALL said he would not decide on the question of assault until the Commissioner had inves tigated the charge against the officer, and he dis charged the prisoner for the present. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Eliza Goswell, a woman of loose and desperate character, was charged with having wilfully broken the windows of Thomas Westlake, general dealer, Vernon -street, Bond-street. Some time ago the parish authorities of St. James's took steps to suppress the brothels in Sheppard-street. was employed to give evidence in ctions, and since that period he n T r h d e e r c o t o m e p n l a s i n n r a e n e t A n has been constantly annoyed and threatened by those whose infamous traffic was put an end to through his instrumentality. The defendant, who has for years been known as one of the lowest class of unfortunates, on several occasions wilfully broke the complainant's windows, and not having money to pay the damage and the fine, has been sent to prison to pay in person. On Monday evening she paid the complainant a fourth visit, and smashed windows to the amount of 7s. 6d. The complainant no sooner entered the witness box to give his evidence than the defendant levelled a volley of execrations and threats at him, and continued her disgusting conduct to the end of the proceedings, ' in spite of the efforts of the officers to restrain her. Mr. _MALTBY asked her what she had to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—Say, why that I shan't leave this world happy until I've put my mark on that (pointing to the complainant). I'll smash every window in his house, and I'll scratch him too, the first chance I get. I wonder the Jews of Sheppard -street don't go in a body and knock his brains out. You may send me to prison, but as soon as I come out I'll be at the again. The complainant having declared that he went in bodily fear from the def e ndant's threats, Mr. MALTBY decided on requiring the defendant to find bail to keep the peace for three months. The woman paused for a moment as if meditating mischief. She said, however (looking at the magis • trate). " No, I wont blackguard you, but (fighting her way through the constables to the complainant) I'll have the heart of that Before she could execute vengeance on the complainant, she was seized and her arms forcibly pinioned. She was then locked up. About an hour or two after this, Thomas Westlake himself was brought into Court, and charged with having grievously wounded Ellen Barry. The complainant is another of those wretched creatures who haunt the streets ; and she too has long been known to the police as one of the most drunken and desperate women about town. When called upcn to give evidence had gsoht her deathe was too drunktosaymorethan that t e wound at last. She pointed to her head and clothes which were covered with blood. The defendant said the woman had just been to his house and smashed three of his windows. lie went out with a stick to protect his property, when he was attacked, and he then knocked her down by a blow on the head. Several witnesses were present who saw the trans action. They said the defendant had what a p peared to be a life p reserver i n hi s h an d, with which he struck the woman many heavy blows on the head which ren dered her insensible. Mr. MALTY directed the woman to be taken to the hospital to have her wounds examined, and remanded the defendant until next day in order to have the surgeon's certificate. Louis Woodcock a gentleman of property, who is known at this Court from his disputes with various hotel-keepers, with whom he has at times taken up his abode, was charged with having broken two lamp shades, and also assaulted Mrs. Cocquerell, landlady of the European Hotel, Leicester-place. It appeared that the defendant went to the Euro pean Hotel to obtain some linen he had left there, but the linen was refused to him until he had paid the balance of his bill. This excited the defendant, and with his stick he broke the glasses in question, and then afterwards struck the landlady a blow on the mouth, and two blows on the body. The defendant said he was attacked by the waiter, who had a carving-knife in his hand, and he was obliged to defend himself with his stick. It was while using his stick that the glasses became broleen. He denied having assaulted Mrs. Cocquerell. Mr. MALTBY asked the complainant if she had noticed the state of the defendant's mind when he lived at her hotel ? The complainant and waiter both said they believed the defendant's intellect was affected. The defendant denied that he was of unsound mind. Mr. MALTBY was informed that the defendant had been confined in a lunatic asylum in France. The defendant was fined 81., or one month's impri sonment. QUEEN -SQUARE. A young man of colour, whose attenuated figure and threadbare garments indicated the extremes of disease and poverty, applied to the magistrates for relief. Applicant, who had evidently received a liberal education, was, he said, a native of Derr Tara, and came to this country at a very early period. On the death of his father, who was connected IA ith the West India trade, applicant, who was educated for the me dical profession, was obliged to relinquish it on account of pecuniary difficulties, and the prejudices he had to contend against as a person of colour. In consequence of long-continued ill health, which had now assumed an asthmatic form, he had been reduced to very great distress, and, with a wife and child to support, was compelled, by dire necessity, to make the present ap plication. _ _ Mr. BOND inquired how long his father had been dead ? Applicant replied ten or eleven years. Mr. BOND asked his means of support since that period ? Applicant replied that he had carried on business as a chemist at Liverpool for about eighteen months, but was unsuccessful. He had visited other parts of the country, and had exerted himself to the utmost to obtain a living, but had been most unfortu• nate, and his slender resources having become ex hausted, he had supported himself by the sale of a few engravings, until having parted with all he pos sessed, he was left in the most lamentable state of destitution. Mr. BOND asked whether he had any relations in England ? Applicant replied that he had not. Mr. BOND inquired whether there was any person to whom he could refer him, who could confirm his account ? Mr. Taylor, the second clerk, observed, that he could speak to the truth of a portion of his account. He had been made acquainted with the circumstances connected with a part of his painful history by a friend who had gone to school with the applicant, and had at times afforded him some temporary relief. Applicant said he had been engaged for a short time by Dr. Sutro, of Beaufort-buildings. He had been transcribing a German work from that gentle man's dictation. Mr. BOND observed that the assistance that could be afforded him from the poor-box would be but tri fling, and inquired how he intended to employ himself for the future ? Applicant replied that he hardly knew. He was competent to any work in an office, but in his present deplorable state it was not likely that he should succeed in obtaining any employment. Had he the means of procuring a stock of engrav ings, he might manage to procure a subsistence as he had done before. Mr. BOND commiserated the unfortunate man's condition, and gave him a trifle to relieve his present necessities, at the same time desiring him to repeat his visit in a day or two. In the course of the afternoon inquiries were made at his humble abode in Westminster, where it was as certained that he had resided for a long period of time, was a very honest, sober, well-conducted parson, but was afflicted, and in such distress that he and his family had not had food for many hours previous to his application at this Court. LAMBETH-STREET. SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED TOBACCO, &c.—Mr. J. 13. Thomas, a tobacco and snuff manufacturer, of No. 115, Ratcliff Highway, appeared Lefore Mr. Henry, to answer to two informations charging him with having on his premises 173ilbs. of smuggled tobacco, which had been found by the Customs' officers on the sth and 7th instant. C. A. Davis and other officers of Customs deposed to having found the tobacco seized upon the two days beforementioned. They also deposed to having found seven empty canvass wrappers, such as are used for smuggling, and contained, when full, 501bs. of tobacco. The defendant said he knew nothing whatever about the bags produced, which he said had been found in the lumber room. The officers and the gentlemen who attended from the office of the Solicitor of Customs particularly directed Mr. Henry's attention to the appearance of the canvass wrappers, and observed that by their newness and the glossy appearance which they bore it was perfectly evident they had been recently used and emptied, an opinion in which his Worship per fectly coincided. Mr. Thomas, in defence, said that, in the first place, the house in which he resided and carried on business had been upwards of half a century in his family, and 'that such was the competition in his business at present, and the means resorted to by smuggling and adulteration, that goods were sold at much less than they could be fairly manufactured for, and he should throw himself entirely upon the consi deration of the Court. Mr. HENRY—Then what you mean to say is, that you cannot carry on and live by your business with out smuggling. Mr. Thomas—Why, Sir, I did not say that ex actly ; but I have said that there is so much smug gling and adulteration in the trade that there is no getting a living in a regular way. The competition is, I assure you, Sir, so great, that goods are sold at much less than they can be manufactured for. Mr. 'finally—Your defence is, I must say, a most extraordinary one. A thief charged before me at that bar might as well say that robberies were carried on to a very considerable extent, and that he could not live without robbing also. The charge of the tobacco found being smuggled is not at all disproved ; and 1 have very little doubt, also, that these canvass bags found upon your premises contained 501bs. each of tobacco, so that you have had the benefit of and profit on 170Ibs. of tobacco. I, therefore, see no reason why you should not be convicted in the full penalty. The defendant was then convicted in the penalty on both informations of 1681. 18s. 6d., or to be impri soned until such sum was paid. The defendant asked for time to pay the penalty, upon which Mr. HENRY observed that he was frequently called on and obliged to send sailors and other per sons to prison in default of such penalties, and he could make no distinction in the present case. The defendant was then taken in charge by Cook, the gaoler, to be detained until the money, which he had sent for, arrived. The law requires that proceedings for the five cwt. of adulterated stuff should be taken before the Com missioners of Excise, which will be immediately done, and the defendant upon this will be liable to a penalty of 6001., if fully proved against him.; UNION-HALL. Yesterday Mr. John Quincy Harris, late M.P. for Newcastle-under-Lyme, was charged with using lan guage of a threatening nature towards Mr. Philip Roberts, of Upper Montague-street, Russell-square, with intent to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace. The complainant stated that he was married to the sister of the defendant, who on frequent occasions of late had used language of a threatening nature to him. The defendant called at his house at a most unseasonable hour, between one and two o'clock in the morning, and ultimately challenged him out to fight. Complainant of course refused to accept such a challenge, and as the present was not a solitary in stance of the defendant so conducting himself, he (complainant) considered it necessary to adopt the present proceedings, with a view to &event it in future. The complainant produced some letters which he had received from the defendant, to prove that he had been menaced by the writer. Mr. num, having perused them, and the de fendant having admitted he was the writer, the Magis trate asked the complainant if he was apprehensive that the threat* contained in them would be carried into effect ? The defendant objected to the production of such evidence. The letters related to matters of a family nature, and he contended that they ought not to have been exhibited in Court. Mr. TRAILL said that the complainant was perfectly justified in producing the documents containing threats against his personal safety, and written by the defendant. The defendant—But they are of a private and con fidential nature. Mr. num—But you had no right to send letters of a private and confidential nature containing threats against the individual to whom you have addressed them. Defendant—Mr. Roberts is a professional man. I am not, and therefore should wish to have the case postponed, in order that I may have an opportunity of consulting my solicitor on the subject. Mr. TRULL here read a passage in one of the let ters, in which the writer said, in allusion to the com plainant, that when he met him he Nyould make him bitterly repent his ungrateful conduct. The magis trate said this was all confirmatory of Mr. Roberts's complaint against the defendant, and showed that he was perfectly justified in the steps that had adopted against the writer . the com".. l :Zant, in answer to Mr. TRAILL, having stated that he was apprehensive of personal violence at the hands of the defendant, the latter was asked what he wished to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant declared he had no intention of com mitting any violence, and he again expressed a wish that the case might be allowed to stand over until he was prepared with professional advice. The process taken against him was done so instantaneously, he having no intimation of it until the officer called at his house that morning, that he had no time to consult with his legal adviser. Mr. TR.'. said he could see no reason whatever for an adjournment, and that he should therefore call on the defendant to find sureties for keeping the peace. - Defendant—lf I give my word of honour that I will not touch the complainant, and have no commu nication with him except through my attorney, will that be sufficient ? Complainant intimated that he should not be satis fied with such an assurance unless security was given that he should not, in future, be subjected to such treatment as he had already experienced at the hands of the defendant. Mr. TaAILL asked the complainant if he would be satisfied if the defendant was adjudged to enter into his own recognizatces to a considerable amount? The complainant answered in the affirmative, upon which the defendant exclaimed, " Oh, make it 500/. ; I am willing to be bound in that amount to convince him that from henceforth all communication between us ceases." Mr. Tamil. said as the defendant was satisfied with the former amount, he should therefore call an the defendant to enter into his own recognizances to that amount. The complainant expressed a hope that it would have the effect of keeping the defendant away from his house, and also of preventing him from sending any more letters of a threatening nature. Mr. TRAILL said that if the defendant forfeited his recognizance it would he estreated at the sessions, and he mould be compelled to pay the amount. The defendant having entered into the required re cognizances, the parties then retired. CLERKEIV WELL. Patrick Gamon was charged with cutting and wounding police-constalbe Higgins, 130 of the N division ; also with v iolently assaulting police-con stable Gooderam, 433 N. Higgins, whose life was at one time despaired of, was present. His voice was so faint, that there was great difficulty in gleaning his testimony. He deposed, that on the night of the 12th inst. he heard the noise of fighting in High-street, Islington, between 11 and 12 o'clock. He went up to them and told them to go away. They used very bad lan guage, but at length dispersed. About an hour after the same party, amongst whom was the prisoner, as sembled in High-street. He again told them to go away. They went down Pansley's•court swearing and using the most violent language. When a few yards down the court, one of them said "If you come down here, we'll soon do for you." He did not follow them immediately; but, in a short time after, hearing cries in the court, he went down, and had not advanced mote than a few yards when a brick was thrown at him. He saw the man who flung it and arrested him. He was turning round to take him to the station-house, when several of them attacked him. His hat was knocked off, and the prisoner, with a brick firmly clenched in his hand, struck him twice with all his force on the head and knocked him down. One of the party seized his hand, and the prisoner jobbed the sharp edge of the brick into his head twice, and he became insensible ; when he recovered consciousness, he found his collar-bone broken and four deep wounds on his head. He positively identi fied the prisoner as the person who jobbed the brick into his head. Police-constables Gooderam and March confirmed Higgins's testimony. Mr. R. Sample, surgeon to the Islington police force, has examined Higgins, and found four deep wounds on his head, and his clevicle was fractured. Higgins's life had been in great danger. Had known persons to die from much less severe wounds. The prisoner denied his guilt, and was fully corn, mitted to the Old Bailey for trial. DEATH IN GREAT DESTITUTION Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., resumed and con cluded the inquiry, at the Clarendon Wine Stores, 162, Oxford-street, touching the death of William Hall, aged 43, formerly a metropolitan policeman, but latterly a general postman at Sevenoaks, vlho died on Wednesday last at No. 6, Stratford- place, an un tenanted mansion, of VI hich he had the care. The Hon. Colonel Stratford, the proprietor of Stratford-place, Mr. Porter, one of the guardians of the poor, and several other guardians, were present. A surgeon of the University College, and Mr. Clarke, surgeon of Marylebone-lane, had opened the body, and the following is their joint evidence :—The body of deceased was much emaciated, and showed no marks of violence. There was a large tumour, about the size of an orange, in the belly, communicat ing with the abdomenal aorta. The tumour had rup tured, and hemorrhage from it into the abdomen was the cause of death. Above a pint of blood had es caped. The aneurism had existed a couple of years. In the course of the examination of the widow of deceased, she said—All I have had from the parish was half-a-crown a month since, Mr. Faulkner, the relieving officer, gave me an order for medicine on Tuesday, not for food. I received an order :for the doctor to see my husband the day he died. I did not take the order to the workhouse ; my husband did not wish I should, as he said he would have better advice. A Juror—how came it that after you received the first relief a month ago, you did not apply again ? Witness—Because I thought we should be passed to our parish if I did. The CORON En—Who told you that? Witness--I cannot say—some one at the workhouse. I should not know him again. The CoßoNiii—You would have called again at the workhouse if something had not been said to you ? Witness—l should, sir. The fear of being sent home prevented me. The CORONER—Have you had any relief since the sitting of the inquest—have any of the officers called on you since ? Witness, No, Sir. The CORONER—Where is your parish? Witness— I was born at Sevenoaks, but I must follow my hus band's settlement, the parish of Sawtry, Huntingdon shire, where I know nobody, not even his mother, who, I believe, is living there. The CORONER—This is what is continually taking place. Men go away front their place of settlement, get married, die, and their wives, natives of other places, are required to go back to their husband's parishes, where they do not know a human being. If they were sent to their own parishes they would have a chance of receiving consolation and relief from their relatives and early friends. To the witness—After you got back from Mr. Faulkner with nothing but an order for medical relief, what did you do for food? Witness—l tried to pawn an old shirt, but the pawn broker would not take it in. I then got a loaf from Mr. Malconabe, baker, of Southinolton-street, who has trusted me with a loaf a day for a month past, though I never dealt with him, paying ready money but once. The CORONER—The baker's name ought to be publicly mentioned. I am afraid (to the jury) you cannot claim him as a parishioner. Have the pa ris h buried the body of deceased ? Ridding, be beadle— The parish would have done so, but the family were going to bury deceased themselves. His sister had bought a coffin, and a subscription would defray the other expenses. The CORONER—PeopIe who have such feelings as these ought to receive the most attention and respect from the parish officers. The feeling of self-respect ought to be encouraged in the poor by every possible means. Nothing sustains them so much. After a long inquiry the jury returned a verdict cf " Natural death from aneurismal disease." In consequence of the publicity given to this case, the following subscriptions have been sent to the Coroner for the benefit of the widow and four orphans —Mr. Hudson, Chichester, ss. ; Rev. J. Bassnatt, ; Mr. Felix, Brighton, ss. ; Mr. Jones, Duke street, Oxford-street, 63„' Mr. G. I. Mills, ss. ; Hon. Colonel Stratford, 11.; Mr. Pennington, Portman square, 1/. ; Mr. Wakley subscribed 21., and all the jury and Mr. Clarke, surgeon, subscribed. One of the jury, Mr. Butcher, butcher, of 10, Orchard-street, Portman-square, subscribed 11., and was appointed, treasurer to receive further subscriptions, and to manage them, Mr. Hyde, landlord of the Clarendon Stores, subscribed ss. Tim NATIONAL GALLERY.—This exhibition was yesterday re-opened to the public, having been closed during the last few weeks for the purpose of examining the various works of art contained therein, and making the necessary repairs, &c. During the recess, all the pictures have been either cleaned or varnished. The late purchases, the Guido and Rubens, from the Pen rice collection, now appear in all their splendour. The Francias are now seen in perfection, and no picture has undergone a more thorough change than the "Brazen serpent," by Rubens, which had probably never before been cleaned from its smoke and varnish since its arrival in England. It is now, in a manner, resuscitated, and presents a noble specimen of the master. The Hogarths have been varnished. and are in the most perfect state, I the cracks in the Wilkies have been carefully mended, and the pictures brought out in all their beautiful effect. The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned and repaired, ancl ventilators put in order. It is to be stimmer dust and the and the blinds 0 the hr il " 4 ,ness of feared, however, that the return of an probably era breath of crowds will again obscure these fine paintings , long this result may eonvinee the public that - • fir the accomm -4- . larger place is n ecessar y ..,“ation of both pictures and spectators is afforded in the present building. The cleansing of the pictures has been entrusted to Mr. Seguier and Mr. Brown. The rooms were yesterday very much crowded, and the improved character of the exhibition appeared to give the greatest satisfaction to the visitors. A WATERSPOUT.
