Evening ... 52 minutes alter LONDON : MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1839. We should be sorry to suppose that the feelings avowed by a Correspondent, who signs himself " A Chartist," on the subjects of the Corn-laws and the middle classes, are universal amongst the work ing classes, but knowing them to be prevalent we think it our duty to publish the letter. The mid dle classes will be made acquainted by it with some of the difficulties they will have to contend with in the new attack they are about to commence on the Corn-laws. They will not be supported, if they are not opposed, by the Chartists, and the same arguments which prevailed with the landlords last session will prevail with them next session. The bulk of the people will not vehe mently demand the repeal of the Bread Tax. As a corroboration of this view we may mention that at a late meeting at Brighton, a resolution was moved by a Chartist adverse to the repeal of the Corn laws ; he was indeed defeated, but the attempt shows the prevalence of the feelings mentioned by our correspondent. If the middle classes, therefore, reckon on the support of the lower classes, and without it there is not much chance of their suc cess, it will be necessary for them to begin by effecting, if possible, a reconciliation and al liance with the working classes. We are much grieved by our Correspondent's letter, because if the embittered feelings it de scribes be general, we must bid adieu to any hope of political improvement till we have gone through the rugged paths of Revolution. That the pre sent system, which is monstrously unjust=that is, according to Home Tooke's correct description of the word, contrary to the commands of nature—can last long we hold to be impossible : that the . landlords, and the Spiritual Lords, and the other persons in whose .hands is the power of making laws, will freely and voluntary alter it, except under the influence of a considerable pressure from without, we regard as most improbable ; that such a pressure will be applied seems not now to be expected, and that the system will therefore be violently broken up, and violently destroyed at no distant day, seems to us its certain fate. We hope that we have at no time done any thing to delay or thwart the success of the Corn-law abolition, or to promote that bitter hostility between the middle and lower classes which our Correspondent describes, and which we look on as one of the most fatal symptoms of our present social disorders. We have continually deplored both the harsh treat ment which the working classes receive, and the insulting language which has been held towards them, and if not now, very soon those who have been the advocates of legal severity, and have used such language, will deeply repent their conduct. One Journal, which last year urged on the Chartists, and induced them to oppose Corn-law agitation, as a " tub thrown out to the whale," on Saturday insulted its own protegees, by re minding the " working men of the tin canister,' and other delusions of the by-gone year." The Spectator, we know, had great influ ence with the Chartists last year in making them oppose the Corn-law abolition ; and it is rather too bad now to reproach them with the de lusions of which it was in a great measure the parent.. It is not enough, as it seems to imply, that the working classes are convinced that the Corn laws lower their wages ; if they, at the same time, are taught that a higher and a more permanent interest may be promoted by opposing the agitation for repeal they will oppose it. The object now, therefore, ought to be as far as they are concerned, to prove to them that their permanent as well as their temporary interest, will be served by the abolition of the Corn-laws ; that ; giving them in the first instance higher wages, the abolition is the surest means of promoting those further political reforms they seek. The reconciliation which it is so desirable to effect between them and the middle classes, and their co-operation, which it is so desirable to secure, must be begun by con cessions, or promises of concessions, on the part of the middle classes- If the Journals under their im mediate influence continue to deal in mingled threats and insults, the reconciliation and co-operation will be hopeless, and the Abolitionists, instead of seeking abolition, will act wiser to make the best terms they s can with the landlords. " It appears," says the Spectator, " that the re muneration of labour in England has been regularly diminishing since the peace. The sums actually paid have been less, while, latterly, the cost-of living has been increasing." According to another notice, in the Wiltshire Independent, of the wages of labour in the parish of Rushall, the highest rate of able-bodied married labourers, with families, is only 9s. per week, except harvest work; while single men, which is justly cha raeterised as a return to the old allowance agate;, are put off with only 55., 65., or 7s. per week. Under the present system, then, a most serious deterioration has taken place in the con dition of the labourers, and as their employers are the immediate agents in reducing their wages, they I ° ol r on them as the authors of their sufferings. There who so represent the ar e e mpi n e o y t ers w ; a a n n t d ing it i J s o h u a ri r i d a l l y s to be expected th at working men should carry their views from the immediate agents to the legislative and more distant In ascausestera andof their distress. Thus, unhappily, their em ployers appear to them to have been the causes of that deterioration which is going on in their condi tion,t and, still more unhappily, masters and em ployers have done nothing to undeceiv e he t h em on this point, by generously and firmly interposing with the Legislature on their behalf. W e do not see our way out of the difficulties in which th ese cir cumstances place the Abolitionists and the R e . formers generally ; and if any person can point out a way he will deserve well of his country. We know that it is very foolish of the working classes to neglect that practical improvement which i s within their reach to chase after an unattainable alteration ; but when we see the nonsensical and even mad persecution which is instigated by the ultra-Protestant bigots—when we see the people of Ireland still led astray by Mr. O'CONNELL S often told tale of repeal, or see the nobility and clergy of England making themselves the objects of intense ational hatred, for the sake of a little pelf, we can not, demand perfect wisdom and great comprehen 'oo,in the working classes. has been appointed by the CHANCELLOR of the 1 EXCHEQUER to superintend the arrangements for bringing into operation the uniform Penny Postage Act. This appointment has been strongly recom mended from various quarters, and it will give great and general satisfaction. It is equally due to Mr. HILL, as the enlightened projector of the plan, and the public, who will naturally look to him to carry it into effect. They will now be thoroughly con vinced that nothing will be left undone which can be done to insure success, and they will anticipate a speedy accomplishment of their wishes. To the Ministers, the assistance of a gentleman so well versed in all the details, will be of great service ; it will relieve them from a world of cares, while it will be a guarantee to the public, that they wish to carry the plan into effect in the best manner. Two more charges under the 42d clause of the Police Act were heard at Bow-street on Saturday, and they both appear cases of peculiar hardship. One publican was accused of the crime of refusing to admit a policeman into his house after twelve on Saturday night. He brought witnesses to prove that no liquor was served after that hour, and that the house was closed according to the instructions of the police, but because one policeman swore that he saw the defendant through the key-hole pouring some water from a tin can into a glass, and another swore that he also saw him through the key hole pouring beer from a tin can, the Magistrate adjudged him at first to pay a penalty of 20s. The decision was afterwards recalled for some ulterior purposes, not, we conclude, out of mercy to the the defendant. No person was seen coming out after twelve—there was not even au attempt on the part of the police to prove that any but lodgers were in the house—nay, it was distinctly stated by two witnesses, lodgers, and not denied, that they were the only persons beside the landlord inside at the time, yet because the policemen were not allowed to obtrude upon the privacy of domestic life, this man is punished as if guilty of an offence against the New Act. The other defendant was fined 40s. for not ejecting his customers by force. He had closed his bar—closed his house—extinguished the light—and done every thing he could, even according to the strictest inter pretation of this absurd clause, the hous: was most respectable, and the customers of good cha racter, yet all of no avail. " You must pay a fine of 40s. and costs," says the Magistrate. Is this severity sanctioned by the Home Government? and did Mr. HALL receive instructions at his inter view with Lord NORM ANBY on Thursday, to en force the law with unabated rigour—to punish one in fifty for not performing an impossibility—to order policemen to act the part of eaves-droppers—to peep through key-holes—to annoy respectable householders, parlour politicians, public, though not private actors, and those who encourage them ? The New Police Act is in many respects excel lent. That clause of it Which directs that all public-houses shall be closed on Sunday forenoon, deserves every commendation, and would answer all the purposes intended, without the absurd interpre tation put upon it which, while it excites the worst feelings against the Government, never can be car ried into effect till the Home Secretary lend his aid, and order the police to arrest all persons found in taverns after twelve on Saturday night. Several of our Tory Contemporaries affect ex treme indignation at the conduct of the agents of our Government in the Peninsula, in availing them selves of General MA noTo's aid to put an end to the civil war in Spain. According to them, the British and French Governments have disgraced themselves by having recourse to treason against a Prince whom they failed to reduce by honourable warfare ; and they denounce MA ROTO as a traitor to his King, with whom it is infamy to hold any communication. We are no apologists of the conduct of General MAROTO. His murder of the Carlist officers, under whatever pretext, will ever cast a foul stain upon his name. _ _ But high treason is a crime of which he is not, and could not be guilty, so far as relates to his deser tion of the cause of the Pretender. Don CARLOS was neither de facto nor de jure King of Spain. He was a rebel in arms against his Sovereign ; and the Tories teach a novel doctrine, indeed, when they inculcate the inference that to deliver him up to be dealt with according to the laws, is treason on the part of any of his deluded followers. Ac cording to the established principles of the laws of nations, fidelity to Don CARLOS in his assumed character of king of Spain, is the greatest crime of which a Spaniard could be guilty. Nor would the good faith of the Allies of her most Catholic MAJESTY be unquestionable, if they neglected any opportunity within their reach to detach from the service of the Pretender whomsoever they knew to be assisting him in disturbing the peace of any part of the Spanish territory. To extend the rights of belligerents to rebels, /ould be a truly ridiculous stretch of chivalry ; and, to confess the truth, the Tories never thought of re commending it during the whole of the late contest in Canada. It would have been as much an het of high treason on the part of the followers of PAPI NEAU and MACKENZIE, to deliver them bp to the British Government, as it would be for General MAROTO to send Don CARLOS a prisoner to ESPA RTERO, and yet we do not remember to-.have read a single Tory protest against such a prodeclure during the continuance of the insurrection in. the Canadas. What is stronger still, we have a lively recollection of strong insinuations being thrown out against the sincerity of the professions of friendship made by President VAN BUREN, because the Government of the United States, did not manifest a sufficient readiness to co-operate with us in putting down an insurrection a thousand times more justifiable in itself than that which has desolated for more than six years the fairest pro vinces of Spain. To have refused to treat with MAROTO for the surrender of the revolted provinces would have been to fan the flames of rebellion—to have betrayed the QUEEN, while professing for her and for her people the most earnest solicitude ; and, what ought to have still greater weight with us, would have been an abandonment of a Treaty en tered into for the express purpose of ridding Por tugal and Spain of CARLOS and MIGUEL. But the malignity of this ridiculous charge con sists in the assumption that England and France attempted unsuccessfully to eject the Pretender from Spain by making war upon him. Now, our constant cause of quarrel with the two Governments for the last six years has been that they neglected to adopt such a course. Had the plan of military occupation proposed by M. TRIERS been adopted by Lord PALMERSTON, the war in Spain would not have lasted as many months as it has continued years. But the Minis try allowed themselves to be guided by the counsels of the Tories, who trusted that by gaining for CARLOS time enough to obtain assistance from Russia, Prussia, and Austria, through their accom modating agent, the King of SARDINIA, and also to rouse the fanaticism of the Monks, a catastrophe at Madrid would lead to the easy re establishment of that system of despotism which flourished during the reign of the Royal petti coat-embroiderer FERDINAND. Their calcu lations were happily erroneous. They had not taken sufficiently into account the sturdy patriotism and indomitable love of liberty of the Spanish people. Ti k av had no idea how easy it is to pre serve order unapg a people who are honestly in tent upon realizing one great object —upon achiev ing their civil and political regeneration. The in trigues of selfish demagogues were instruments of which the Carlists hoped to avail themselves in effecting a counter-revolution ; but they were not aware of the fact that when a whole people know the object for which they are s truggling, and wh en they are united and earnest i n such a struggle, it would be as difficult as it would be dangerous to attempt to mislead them. Liveral Spain was not without thousands of talented adven turers, ready to make mcrchandize of their principles, and their influence ; but the earnest ness of the people, and their distrust of all whose conduct was not in strict and simple accord ance with their professions, abashed and silenced them. . , , -/ • Wilt .:-7zsivrt. are glad to learn that Mr. RoWLA ND ~ as we announced on Friday was probable, There is one point of view in which, if we steadily regard the termination of the civil war, it would appear that the French and British Governments have acted wisely in leaving Spain to decide un aided the pretension s of the rival claimants for her throne. The utter defeat of the Carlists by their own countrymen attests the hopelessness of any future insurrection ; and the sufferings of the in habitants of the northern provinces during the civil war will leave behind them recollections favour able to tranquillity which a century will not efface. ( TEL +° SUN, L Had Don CARVOS been ejected from the Peninsula by English and French bayonets his partizans would have looked forward to every cessation of vigilance to kindle the torch of insurrection in the Basques, and even we ourselves might have doubted whether a Constitutional Government could exist in Spain without our assistance. But the experiment was a dangerous one ; and supported as CARLOS was by the Courts of St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, and Rome, besides the assistance he derived from the Tory faction in this country, nothing short of the most strenuous and patriotic exertions on the part the Spanish people could have brought the war to the happy termination at which it is on the point of arriving. We have received Swiss Journals of the 10th inst., containing long reports of a meeting of the Grand Council, held on the previous day in the Great Cathedral of Zurich. Four thousand per sons attended. Burgomaster Hess took the chair, and after a long and animated discussion, the fol lowing resolution was adopted, after which the meet ing broke up : " The Grand Council, considering that in consequence of an extraordinary popular movement the Council of State was de !ado dissolved, that the re-establishment of public tranquillity ought to be first of all attended to, and that it is the duty of the representatives of the people in these circumstances to resign their powers into the hands of their constituents, in order that a new election of the Grand Council should impart to the general administration the necessary firmness and energy—the Grand Council therefore decrees, that the Council of State, composed of Messrs. J. J. Hess, R. L. Meyer de Knonau, C. Sulzer, J. Hurleman Landes, de Muralt, Eschcr, and Schutt Hess, and constituted on the 6th of September, is confirmed, for the direction of public affdirs, in the capacity of Council of Regency and Federal Council of State ; and, as such, empowered to discharge the functions thereof, conform ably with the laws and Constitution, until the reorganiza tion of the Council of Regency. The present Grand Coancil dissolves itself, and the Council of State is charged with making the necessary arrangements for the constitu tional election of the Members of the Grand Council, so as to enable to meet it in the course of 14 days. Not the slightest disturbance took place. The Councillor of State, HEYETSCHWEILER, after having thrice undergone the operation of trepanning, died on the 10th, of the gun-shot wound he received in the late riot. Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 7th inst. have reached us. The Second Chamber was ex pected to be regularly constituted on the 9th, when it would commence the labours of the Session. On the Bth, Ministers proposed to celebrate the suc cess of the QUEEN'S arms in the north after the long-established English fashion—a public dinner, a comfortable mode of rejoicing as yet but little known on the Continent. On the 7th the diplo matic body in Madrid, participating in the general enthusiasm, presented the following address to the QUEEN K EGENT, to which her MAJESTY returned a most gracious answer : Madam--The diplomatic body, hastening to join in the sentiments of hope and joy inspired by the happy events which have just taken place in the northern part of the empire, solicit the honour of being permitted to lay at the feet of your Majesty the expression of their lively and sincere satisfaction at seeing at length approach the ter• mination of a war so of to your Majesty's heart as a Queen and a mother. The character of clemency and of reconciliation which your Majesty's goodness desires to impress on the coming peace, will hasten, we trust, the moment when your Majesty shall behold all the subjects of your august daughter united around her Throne in the same sentiments of love and devotion. The Ministers were daily increasing in popula rity. General ALAIX, who is understood to have co-operated very cordially with ESPARTERO 111 effecting a pacification in the North, is a greater favourite with the people than any of his colleagues. On the Bourse business was rapidly improving. Five per Cents. Active were in brisk demand on the 7th at 30 for cash. The French Government was, on Saturday night, in hourly expectation of despatches announcing the arrival of Don CARLOS at Bayonne. On Friday the following telegraphic communication reached the War Minister, and was published in the Mo- teter Parisien of the same evening : " BAYONNE, SEPT. 13. THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVI SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR AND TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. " Yesterday Espartero was still in the Ulzama, where he has been joined by the corps of Navarre commanded by General Ribero, who has replaced General Leon. Don Carlos was at Elisoudo. The emigration continues." The Sentinelle des Pyrenees confirms the account of the emigration of the Carlists, by stating that they were arriving in flocks, like quails, at Tolosa and San Sebastian. The same Journal adds, that five more Carlist battalions of Navarre accepted the stipulations made by MAROTO, and laid down their arms. On Saturday the French Government re ceived the following telegraphic despatches from the French frontier : " BAYONNE, SEPT. 14. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIV; SION TO THE PRESIDEDT OF THE COUNCIL. " Don Carlos arrived yesterday at Urdax, near to our frontier." Urdax is a small village only three quarters of a league from the French frontier, so that the inten tion of the Pretender to seek shelter in France is no longet doubtful. It is said that he would have retired into France on the first defection of NIA ROTQ't but having previously implored the final decisioli of the Northern Powers, and having addre:Oed autograph letters to Louis Pin- LIPP7 and Lord PALMERSTON, desiring to know the conditions the Governments of France and England would guarantee to his familrin the event of his quitting Spain, he wishes if possible, to retain a footing in Spain till he can receiva, the answers of the different Cabinets, in the hope that he will be able to exact better terms for himself, his family, and his adherents. But Es- PARTERO appears not disposed to treat him with much forbearance ; and although the Austrian Ambassador at Paris has been most active in hastening on negociations during the last week, the friends of CARLOS were fearful that he would be driven out of Spain before they could be con cluded. General ELIo, with ten battalions of Navarre, was reported in Paris on Saturday to have gone over to the Christinos. The Moniteur of Saturday officially announces the recal of Admiral ROUSSIN from Constanti nople. As we repeatedly stated his Excellency will be replaced by M. DE PONTOIS. The Leipsic Universal Gazette, in a letter from Alexandria of the 16th ult., throws some light upon the motives of Admiral Roussnes recal :—" It Another statement in the Journals is, that Lord JOHN HAY had demanded an interview with Don CARLOS, to communicate to him the instructions received from our Government. Lord JOHN was to be escorted by a detachment of British Royal Marines. A previous rumour was afloat, to the effect that Don CARLOS had expressed a wish to surrender to the British Commodore, rather than to the French authorities on the frontier. appears," says this correspondent, " that Admiral RoussiN directed the affairs of the Capitan Pacha. There is a person here worthy of every confidence, who says that he read at Malta, several days before the news of the treason of the Capitan Pacha had arrived there, a letter of Admiral RoussiN, addressed to the French Consul at Malta, in which the Admiral mentions the treason as a very probable event." If this be true it is in deed sufficiently scandalous to account not only for the recal, but the disgrace of Baron Ro usslN. A great sensation was created on the Bourse on Friday by the Bank of HOTTINGUEN and Co., of Paris, allowing Bills drawn upon it by the United States Bank to the amount or from 100,0001. to 200,0001. sterling to be protested. There is no domestic news of importance in the French Journals. _ . The Debats of Friday announces that the Count de Sercey, First Secretary to the French Embassy at St. pc tersburgh, is appointed Ambassador to the Shah of Persia. The Count will shortly take his departure, accompanied by the Marquis de Lavalette, as Secretary of Legation, and Viscount d'Archiae, Viscount Cyrus Gerard, ann M. de Chazelles, as attaches. Messrs. Paul Daru and d'Hautpoul, officers of the staff, form part of the mission, and M. Felix Desgranges is named Dragoman. Baron Portalis, brother of the former Minister of Re ligion, and father of M. Auguste Portalis, Councillor of the Cour Royale, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, died on the 12th inst., in his eightieth year. A correspondent at Algiers writes on the 31st ult. " An entire new quarter is laid out, and within eighteen months our city will have an addition of upwards of ten bazaars, or passages, the Quartier de Chartres will be em bellished with fine new places, and will have a wide street, rivalling some of the best in the great towns of France. The occupation of Blidah and Culeah is still deferred." The Sentinelle des Pyre nee s g i ves the following state ment of the position of the Carlists on the sth of this month : " Vera is occupied by the sth battalion of Navarre ; Lesaca by the 12th ; Urdax, Elisondo, and Tugarramurdi by the 11th ; the Valley . of Ulzama by the Bth and 9th ; Lecumbery by the Guides of Navarre and of Alava ; Irurzun and Lataza, on the road to Tolosa, by the 6th, 7th, DONCASTER RACES.—Bell's Life in London, price 5d., of Sunday next, September 22, will contain an ample and exclusive account of the Races at Doncaster; an Engraving of the Doncaster Cup; and a Portrait of the Winner of the Great St. Leger; together with all the Sporting and Miscellaneous Intelligence of the week.

The journals of Lisbon still continue in the same strain of invective to England. The emigration from the Azores to the Brazils has become so great as to threaten the depopulation of those islands, in consequence of which the Government have resolved to take effective measures to put a stop to it. Upon the whole there does not appear to be any news of importance by the above mail. All was tranquil in the above capital. This being settling-day in the Foreign Market, and some very heavy accounts to adjust, it is not supposed there will be much doing in the British Funds. It is too early as yet to ascertain the effect of the great rise during the Account in Spanish Stock ; as yet we do not hear anything of a disastrous nature.

In gen era l i t was ex pected thdt the settling of the Foreign Accounts this day would have met with g reat difficulty, and man y failures would ha ve taken p lace, not only owing to the extreme rise of Spanish from 9 to 10 per cent, but also from the scarcity of money. We are now happy to state that public opinion has been disa pp ointed, and at prese n t on l y one defaulter has been declared in the House, and his differences are to a small extent. It ap pears that the public, that is to say, the speculators out of the House are all Bulls in Spanish, therefore the losses must have been sustained in the House. The Portuguese Account is alto a heavy one to settle. the extreme fluctuation has been above 5 per cent., which also has every appearance of going off well.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRA►A The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon- don commenced this morning, before JAMES WM. MYLISS, Esq., and RICHARD DAVIS CRAIG, Esq., the barristers appointed for that purpose. The various lists were handed in by the parish officers, and their verification occupied the greater part of the day. Mr. Trott and Mr. Holmes attended on behalf of the Liberals. Mr. Goodeve, Mr. Henchliffe, and Mr. Green field on the part of the Tories, Mr. Jardine being the ob jector. The number of objections made by the Tories is 307, and their claims amount to 144. There are no claims or objections on the part of the Reformers. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Sessions at the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Kelly, Mr. Alderman Lainson, and the Sheriffs. After the Grand Jury had been sworn, The RECORDER briefly addressed them; observing that the calendar did not include many cases of a very serious descrip tion. There were, however, some cases of stabbing, which offence, he regretted to say, appeared to be on the in. crease, and it was lamentable to observe, in every succeed ing Session, that these cases were very prominent in the ca lendar. This was an offence which was formerly little practised in the country. The Act of Parliament which had recently passed in reference to assaults, either by means of cutting instruments or an attempt to murder by the use of fire-arms, embraced almost every description of offence where violence had been committed attended with danger to life. In that Act was this very wholesome pro vision, that if under the particular circumstances of the case the petty jury should be of opinion that the felonious charge had not been completed, it was competent to them to find the party guilty of an assault, negativing the higher offence. Ho mentioned this, because it was possible that come cases might come - before them, which would offer shades of di!' ference, and where they might entertain a doubt whet es the higher offence could be ultimately brought bow t• the prisoner. The cases now to be brought forward L e did not think would present any difficulty, and believee they would turn out to be such cases as ought tc , Le submitted to the consideration of the petty jury. There were some cases in which there were, per haps, mitigating circumstances ; but unless the case appeared to be accidental, the safer course would be to put the party on his, trial before the petty jury. He was not aware that any difficulties would arise on points of law in the cases which were in the calendar. There was one advantage which the Grand Jury, now possessed which had only arisen within the last year, and which was formerly only possessed by the Grand Jury of the Court of Queen's Bench, Westmiuster; namely, having the assistance of a very able officer of the Court to examine witnesses so far as his assistance might be required. Of this he was certain the gentlemen of the jury would avail themselves. At the same time, it must not be understood as at all fettering their judgment, the officer merely acting under their direction. The Grand Jury then retired. - MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY.) A MEMBER OF THE TEMPERANCE SOClETY.—Thonias Evans was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with h:tving been found drunk and disorderly at half-past one o'clock in the morning. Defendant stated, in his defence, that he was a member of the Temperance Society, and had had nothing to drink for a month ; that having met with a friend, they went into a public-house to play a game at bagatelle, when he was induced to take some drink. The LORD MAYOR—If "you area member of the Tem perance Society, why trust yourself in a public-house. Evans—We only went to play for ginger beer.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—If you mean to continue a member of the Temperance Society, you had better keep out of public-houses. You are fined 53. for being drunk, and if you are brought here again, you shall go to Bridewell. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW POLICE COURT.—Agreeably to directions received from the Home-office, the Magis trates of this office have made a return to the Secretary of State of the extent of their present jurisdiction, which it appears comprises the parish of St. Luke's, Middlesex, the Liberty of the Glass House-yard ; the Lower Road, Islington ; Hornsey, to the Green-lane, St. Mary, Stoke Newington ; Tottenham ; Edmonton ; Enfield ; St. John's, Hackney; St. Matthew, Bethnal-green; Christchurch, Middlesex ( Spitalfields); St. Leonard, Shoreditch, Liberty of Norton Folgate, and Liberty of the old Artillery Ground. It is understood to be the intention of the Government, in conformity with the provisions of the Metropolis Police Courts Act, to establish a new Police Court at Hackney, which will have jurisdiction over all the rural districts at pre sent attached to Worship-street: so that henceforth the jurisdiction of the Worship-street Magistrates will be confined to the metropolitan district only. The night charges were so few, that they were all gone through by twelve o'clock to-day, a circumstance unparal . icled,a) history of the office . A SPLCINIEN OF TUB FORCE.--Thontas'Gunn, a boy, ryas placed at the bar, charged with assaulting Policeman N 220 in the execution of his duty. The Policeman (a fresh importation from Ireland)— Plase your wurtebip, he was kicking up a row in the streets. Mr. Gaova--What did he do to you ? Policeman Run away, Sir.—( A laugh.) Mr. GROVE—But you charge him with assaulting you. Policeman-06, no ; the boy I could not catch it was that flung the stones.--(Loud laughter.) Mr. GROVE—How long have you been in the force? Policeman—Six weeks, your wurtchip. Mr. GuovE—And how long since you left Ireland? Policeman—Five weeks, Sir..—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. GRovE—What has this boy done to you? Policeman—Nothing, Sir ; it's the wrong one. Mr. Gaova (to the prisoner)—You are discharged, and you can bring an action against the policeman for false imprisonment. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's supplies of English Wheat and Flour were good, short of Barley, Beans, and Oats, and abundant of Foreign Wheat. There was a small fresh arrival: of every descrip tion of Corn. Wheat advanced full 3s. per quarter on English and 2s. per quarter on Foreign. In Barley very little doing. Beans maintain their previous rates. Barley and Grey Pease Is. per quarter dearer. Oats being scarce have advanced Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter since last Monday.

Mr. Brown was obliged to post pone his ascent. A ruffian exclaimed, " I will tear the balloon to pieces, if you don't go up ;" and the fellow, assisted by others, actually carried his threat into execu tion by tearing up the machine, and carrying away in triumph a great portion of it.—Sheffield Iris. UNITED SERVICE CL ÜBII 0 USE.—Mr. Fenn still continues at the apartments at the clubhouse nearly convalescent. He has been connected with the club nearly fourteen years, having first filled the situation of footman, and by degrees gradually advanced himself to the office of Secretary. As soon as the robbery was discovered, the Committee met, and det ermined, for the satisfaction of all I parties, to call in (in ad( lition to Mr. Fenn's medical at tendant), the aid of Mr. Bransby Cooper, who, upon exa mination, pronounced M r.. Fenn not to have been seriously injured. Although it is stated that there was 1271. in the cash box, not more than about,79/. belonged to the club, the remainder being the private property of the wounded man. An extraordinaryr meeting of the Committee is to take place to.merrow, i then a searching investigation will take place into every circumstance connected with the affair. The greatest s ecieey is still observed. BERLIN AND RRUSSIA.-The next exhibition bids fair to become very interesting. M.

The Courier ch e last evening com ments as follows on the voluminous Hastings forrespondence published in the Morning Post d this morning devo:.! a considerable portion of space to the iniCTtion of a statement, with copies of a correspondence, &Co published by the Marquis of Hastings. They relate to the circumstances that preceded the death of his late sister, Lady Flora. Now this is a subject on which all further expatiation could well have been spared, for every body, except an exceedingly select few, is satisfied that far too much had been already said and written upon it. We frankly confess, there fore, that we do not insert this fifty-times told tale with any view to the satisfaction and interest of our readers, but solely to satisfy to the very utmost the Noble Marquis's superfluous anxiety, and extreme notions of justice. It is to be regretted, for the sake of the relatives of the deceased lady, that this sort of spirit which these repeated disclosures manifest should be kept up. We hope it is at an end. The wrongs of the living should be thought of as well as the wrongs of the dead. Slander is but an ill redresser of injuries inflicted by shine*: We have only to observe that Lord Mel bourne bore the part which he was called upon to take in this transaction with a manly frankness, atid with the spirit of a gentleman ; and that the opinion of the cuts. uent legal authorities that were consulted upon the case, ought to have taught the assailants of many innocent and honourable persons that, as there were no grounds for an action, these was nothing in the grievous Clror committed to justify the blindly revengeful' proceedings that have subsequently been taken." The Globe, alluding to the recent conduct of Maroto, and his submission to the Spanish Government, puts forth these remarks :—" Into the motives which led Maroto to tender his submission to the Queen's Govern ment, it was not necessary for those to whom it was made to enter. Supposing the offer to be sincere—and p oper precautions were taken to guard against treachery —it wasobviously the duty and the interest of the Queen's General-in-Chief to avail himself of the overtures ; as it was also the duty—no less honourable than gratify ing —of Lord John Hay and Colonel Wylde to assist in bringing the negociation to a satisfactory close. This they accomplished after considerable difficulty. We may venture to assert, that but for their presence, and the confidence placed in their honour, and the influence thus acquired by them over the negociators, the gratifying result would have been delayed, if not wholly pre vented. This testimony is borne to their merits by. the agents of the French Government, who had failed in obtaining for the Basque provinces the guarantee for their fueros, which the inhabitants demanded as the condition of their submission to the Quenes Govern ment, and for which, snore than from attachment to Don Carlos, they had joined his standard ; but which were, by the interposition of Lord John Hay and Colonel W Ode, at length conceded. Lord John Hay and Colonel Wylde will be about as much affected either in reputa tion or in feeling by the ravings of the Times, as the moon, walking in . her brightness, is obscured in lustre or diverted from her course by the bayings of the cur which disturbs a neighbourhood by his bark, until he is at length lashed into silences" The Standard, remarking on the Irish Orange So cieties, says :—" We regret to observe that a few warns-hearted, but we must believe indiscreet, indi viduals, still persist in an attempt to perpetuate the existence of Orange Societies in Ireland. Our cor respondent is right in asserting that they do not possess the confidence of the Conservative party at large, because nothing calculated to injure the cause it pro fesses to promote can hope for countenance from that party as a body. The agreement to dispense with the usual pass-words does not entirely remove the objections which may be alleged against them ; but it has the effect of bringing them within the pale of the law, and so far narrows the distance between them and their Protestant fellew-countrymen who may not choose to become parties to such demonstrations, into a mere difference of taste." AURORA BOREALIS.—A most splendid spe cimen of these heavenly phenomena has been observed here during several evenings of the last and present weeks. On Tuesday evening last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the sky was particularly brilliantly illuminated. In the northern hemisphere the shooting lights striking from the edge of the firmament to its centre, and occupying the whole space from east to west, were much admired, and were only equalled in splendour by the tremulous or dancing lights in the southern hemisphere. Altogether, the heavens exhibited a more grand appearance of the northern lights than has been witnessed for many years previously. Several " knowing ones" looked upon these appearances as the harbinger of fine weather for the har vest, but the rain of Wednesday last has proved a sad failure on the part of these prognosticators. It does not appear that Mr. Sugden, " the Howden weather prophet," or his great rival, " Murphy," have yet given their ideas to the world on the aurora borealis in connection with the weather. No doubt the public would be much edified by •'weather prophets'" observations on the subject at this interesting time of the year, when the weather is watched with so much anziety.—Hell Advertiser. We understand that the late Captain Harvey Aston, of the Life Guards, has left his large estates in Cheshire to Mr. Arthur Aston, ber Majesty's newly ap pointed Minister to the Court of Madrid. EXTRAORDINARY PENCHANT FOR HANG IN°. —On Friday morning a sawyer tamed Clark, in the employ of Mr. Arrowsmitb, of Clover, scar Windsor, attempted in a fit of passion, to hang himself .to a tree near the gravel pits, at 'Clewer. Just as he had - turned himself off he , was discovered by a carpenter, dangling to a large bough, and cut down without sustaining any injury. After giving his preserver " a good blowing up" for cutting him down, he walked away vowing that he would " do for him. self in spite of any body." In the course of the same afternoon he was seen climbing up a high tree on the banks of the Thames, and after having attained a height of about 59 feet he sat himself across one of the branches; and de liberately taking a rope out of his pocket, very coolly made a noose, and putting , it round his neck, fastened the other end to one of the boughs above him. An es-policeman, named Stocker, who witnessed the proceedings of the sawyer, lost no time in clambering up the tree, and reached him just as he was in the act of making " a spring for a dangle." Stocker immediately cut the rope, and got well •" blown up" for his pains and humanity by the half-mad fool. The fellow, with the rope round his neck, was still bent on his purpose ; and calling out, " I'm not to be done —so here goes, death or glory" leaped front where he was standing into the field below. The man Stocker descended as quickly as he could, fully expecting to find the man, if not dead (after jumping from a height of at least 50 feet with, at least, some limbs broken. It was found, however, that he was only slightly bruised, and on Saturday he was at work at usual. SUICIDE.—A letter from Vienna gives an ac count of a dreadful suicide, of which Jasz-Vereny, in Hungary, was, on the 11th of July last, the scene. On the morning of that day the wife of a respectable tradesman thus addressed her husband before he went out to attend to his business :—" My dear, many wicked people are well aware that God has blessed us with some property, and that your business often obliges you to be absent all night, while I am left at home with only two female servants. In case any attempt should be made on the house, you had better leave me two loaded pistols. I know how to use them." The hus band yielded to the wish of his wife, and loaded two pistols with ball. The husband was no sooner gone than the wife sent out the cookmaid to some distance to make a purchase, and the other servant on an errand to a neighbour's house. Being now quite alone, she stripped off her upper dress, put one pistol under her left arm, and grasped the other in her right ; then, holding up her left breast with her left hand, she discharged the right-hand pistol under it. The maid, who had just returned, heard the report, and rushed into the chamber, where she found her mistress standing still, upright, with the blood flowing in a stream from her. She gave a shriek, and turned to give an alarm ; the mistress followed after, ordered her to be silent, and endeavoured to detain her ; but the maid ran off in quest of her master, who was still in the neighbourhood. The mistress re turned to the chamber, and from the floor covered with blood took up the pistol which she had let fall from under her left arm when she shot herself with the other, and dis charged it also into her breast, within half an inch of the wound made by the first ball. Death did not immediately follow. When the husband returned quickly, accompa nied by a surgeon, she said, " Doctor, have I aimed well? You do not think you can recover me ?" She lived four hours, and conversed, but gave no explanation of her con duct, and the cause of the fatal action remains unknown. The evening before she was seen walking affectionately with her husband, who, with two children, lament her fate. THE NEW POLICE ACT AND THE STEAM BOATS.—It has often been stated, that the power of steam is in its infancy; but it was little expected by those who made the assertion, that steam-boats would be employed to defeat an Act of Parliament for preventing tippling in public-house , . Such, however, we arc informed is the fact, and that when those who are fond of a glass of cold without arc turned out of the public-houses at the East end of the town, they go on board the steamers below bridge, and are there supplied with liquor. Such has been the case since the blessed Police Act came into operation, but it is said that the civic authorities have got scent of the matter, and mean to compel the floating publicans to close their houses at the same hours as those along ashore. A SNAKE HOOP. —An English sportsman, when in America, being one day in pursuit of game, observed a snake lashing about after a small animal, which he could not r eadily capture ; 'twas near a declivity of which the animal took advantage, and down the hill he ran, beating his pursuer in speed to a distance. The snake's reserved power seen became conspicuous, by placing his tail in his mouth, and forming a perfect circle, down the hill he trundled, and after a very extraordinary c h as e, captured his prey ! The Englishman's astonish ment was put forth in the first village he came to. Yankee told hint " It was nothing new or rare he had discovered ; as a little boy a few days ago in our village," said Jonathan, " having picked up one, and mistaking it for a hoop, sported with it for some time, until the lad at tempted to tie a few bells to his play thing ; but the snake, not liking a rattle of music as an appendage, modestly thinking, no doubt, it would appear in imitation of one of a superior grade, and not pleased with the compliment intended, let slip his tail and glided away, to the great re gret and dismay of his astonished playmate." —Sporting Magazine. - - VIENNA.--On the 2d of October, the Cabinet of Chevalier Frank, consisting of upwards of 4,000 speci mens of medals, beginning with the year 1,500, and in cluding coins of the republics and empires of Europe and America, besides many medals relating to celebrated per sonages, will be sold by auction. THE SKELE ON FOE STRAND SEWER. (FURTHER 1-ARTIOI 3 LAUS.) The publicity which has been giv,ln to the extraordinary finding of a human skeleton in the common sewer of the Strand on Friday morning, has led to many applica tions for a sight of it by persons whose relatives and friends have been long missing, but their oleatb, whether violently or by sneident, has remained a perfect mystery. Amongst others who have applied at the ship hell, in E sse x-street, where the remains are now l y in g in a s is a middle-aged wom an, of the name of Porter, re.Nidng at No. 8, Dream's - bu i l din g s, Chancer y -lane, who nade the following singular sta tement to Mr. Terry, the bet of St. Clement Danes. Her husband, she said, was' as labouring man, who generally found employment in th , e parish, was of industrious and frugal habits, and lEft his home as usual M an early hour to proceed with his daily' 1; labour. As nearly* as possible eight years ago, he west from his lodgings in perfect health, and was expected to his dinner, but from that hour to this he has not been heard of. As soon as Mrs. Porter was told of the find. ing of the skeleton, a strong fe,-.lieg possessed her that it must be the remains of her husband. as he was in the habit of working by the water side, and s.he at once applied to the landlord of the Ship to be permitteu 4 to see it ; but so many persons had been to that gentlE.man on a similar errand, that he directed her to Mr. Terry,, the beadle, to whom she went ; but he being engagooi with the churchwardens, she was directed to call w hen he re turned. She, however, stated that there was a - peculiar mark on the forehead of her husband which would enable her at once to identify it. In order to a seer tain how far her description corresponded with v 'hat had been so singularly discovered, our corresponckl it went to see the skull and bones on Saturday evening, any pt appeara ppear v a e n .d e s indentation eiihed. The e f ra 4 landlord o skull f t h s e uch sh as ip t s h h e e r i e s appears posit that her statement, and the appearance on the skull, fully 1 7rove its identification. The deceased person was probably 5,t or 60 years of age, if the teeth can be taken as a criterion, a'td Mr. Wakley has often said they arc as good a test in the human being as the horse ; there are, however, but five rema.oing, three in the upper and two in the lower jaw. The house of the legs, ribs, and vertebrae have separated, probably in 00 transit from where they were found, as no readier means :could be adopted than placing them in a sack. HOP IN TE LLIGENCE. WoIiCESTER, SEPT. 13.—The warm atmosphere . we have bad this week has been extremely favourable to the Hop plantations, and the late grounds, which a fortnight ago were in so unfavourable a state, are now bidding fair tcs • yield as flourishing a crop as any in the most favoured'. situations. As picking progresses, the quantity is found - to exceed expectation ; and the quality, with good management from the planters, it is sup posed Will be excellent, as the Hops never looked kinder than they do this season. The gale last Saturday night blew down many poles in high exposed situations, but as picking is so near, we hope the damage will be trifling, yet many Hops ' will be tagged by it, which, if picked with the others, wiil discolour the sample, and much reduce their intrinsic value. With the large 510 e.% of Hops on hand, left over from the last eight successive crops of the kingdom, ,and the unfavourable state of trade, ard money matters, prici this season must be ruinously low to the grower, mid bring the speculano w ithout we have great inducements to into the market, it will be found difficult to dispose of tile supply ; hence arises the necessity for Jr, eat precaution in picking the Hops clean and free from lem' s.3• cautiously re l jecting all those which will in any way' discolour, and thereby depreciate the value of the sample. • The duty is expected by many to reach 25 to 26,0001. .

THE LATE SUICIDE AT THE M ON UMEN T FUNERAL or Miss Moves.—On Sunday the funeralmofatttllcrer. , ill-fated Miss Moyes took place, but owing to o t` e being kept a secret, comparatively speaking, few pj_ sons witnessed the sad procession. At half-past tw in e two mutes took their station opposite the door, and t. l few minutes a hearse and mourning-coach was seen coining down Hemming's - row , and i n a few minutes a very large cro wd of persons collected, and the windows of t:0 neighbourhood were crowded with females. On the eew 4 (covered with fine black cloth and w hite nails) bein g plecei i in the hearse a general feeling of regret burst fovth from present, and several females shed tears. The Qrst or w ho entered the mourning-coach was an uncle so.v the de" ceased, Mr. Bowen (who attended the inquest) , and" f other near relatives of the family. The mournful pol7ce sion passed up St. Martin's-lane, to the burial-grow' St. Martin's-in-the-fields ; and after the prayers h ad i n (1 1 ; read in a most impressive manner by the minister, t he till was placed in its last resting-place. Mr. Moyes i 5 ads alive, but lies in a very precarious state ; and what E-1,12 to the truly melancholy affair is, that the unfortunate bil, has not seen the remains of his daughter sinc e she left aot , 0' bedside the day previous to her committing the reehi,tb,o one which wil,l never be e ff aced from the memory . afflicted family tnd the public at large.
