EVENIN D IT lON . CHARACTER OF M. MAU GUIN. himself to the republic as willingly as to royalty, provided the republic had unity, grandeur, and power. He has, I repeat it, a very lively feeling of nation ality, a clear and rapid insight into the comme , cial interests of France, a laborious and assiduous pti tude for business, a brilliant and refined stye of converse, and court-like manners. What is the ancestral name which he lacks ? The name of M. Mauguin is fully equal to that of many dukes and peers who drag along their title in o blivionand beun considered. Why should not M. Mauguin come Minister of Foreign Affairs ? If it lay in my power to give the wheel of his fortune a turn, I would make him so willingly. M. Mauguin is another man of July, whom the dynasty, as you will see, will use in its services as a last resource. We have seen the political side of the man, let us now paint the orator. The gestures of M. Mauguin are noble—his words are clear and sounding—his attitude is firm. He is not so long, so diffuse, in short, so much of an advocate, as the other advocates. He occa sionally spoils his diction by excess of care ; but his phraseology is rather declamatory in the tone than in the words, rather in the accentuation than in the ideas. He may be blamed for calculating too much on his oratorical effects, for allowing the thread of his discourse to be visible, and for not re signing himself sufficiently to nature. His exordi ums are neat ; he disposes well the different parts of his subject ; follows them out ; pushes them forth with vigour in every direction, while his manner is judicious and carefully elaborated. Above all, he is very clever. From his long bar-practice, from the peculiarity of his studies, from the extension and suppleness of his mind, M. Mauguin is well fitted to throw light on all questions of civil and criminal law, of com merce, customs, and finance, and will be, when he pleases, one of the most useful Deputies in the Chamber, as he is now one of the readiest speakers. Sometimes when he grows animated, and nature overcomes art, he ceases to be a rhetorician, and becomes an orator, rising even to the highest eloquence. Then he makes his hearers tremble, turn pale, and weep at the lacerations of expiring Poland. He cries from the depths of his heart, he sighs, becomes agitated, and moves us. How ever, these effusions of soul are not common with M. Mauguin, and do not readily escape but from more genuine, more vehement, and more irregular orators. M. Mauguin is too much master of him self to find the pathetic, which is only to be met with when one does not seek it. But he wields with decided advantage pointed sarcasm and fine r edged irony. M. Mauguin is a rough questioner, fruitful, ingenious, daring, and pressing. He is not to be intimidated by sneers or by murmurs, and becomes more cool at the anger of his adversaries. I saw him when from the height of the tribune he struggled against his formidable adversary, Casi mir Perier. The Minister, exhausted, out of breath, darted at the tribune the lightning of his fiery eye, bounded on his bench, and ground broken menaces between his teeth. M. Mauguin from his smiling lips discharged those darts :which do not draw blood, but quiver beneath the skin. He flew round the Minister, and settled in a fashion on his forehead, like the gadfly, which stings the roaring bull. He entered his nostrils, and Casimir Perier foamed, writhed under him, and prayed for mercy. Let us consider the whole man. He is a bad politician rather from carelessness of conviction than weakness of character, but an excellent ora tor—equal at times to the greatest. At in tervals he is eloquent. He is always full, lucid, concise, firm , " incisive." His mind is fertile in resources, extended, penetrating, and flexible. He is a quiet calculator in a storm, a master of his passions, has less to repress than to conduct them, and only restraining his impatience that he may better sharpen and fling back the spent darts that have been thrown at him. He is a graceful and fascinating man, somewhat presump tuous and greedy of praise, and, to sum up all in one word, a person whom one cannot strongly love or hate. Prince Napoleon Louis has sent a subscription tof 2,000 francs to the fund now forming in Paris fcr she relief and liberation of French prisoners said to be still detained in Siberia. _ _ A HAUNTED HOUSE AT DOVER.—On Sun day week, the Misses Keys, of Limekiln-street, Dover, soon after going to bed, heard a knocking at their cham ber-door. It commenced with a gentle tapping, as though some one was at the dcor rapping with their knuckles wishing to come in. The noise increased louder and louder until it became as loud as one knock ing with all his might, when it left off. Ever since that time the same noise has been heard in various parts of the house. At one time it appears in the cellar ;at an other under the floor, from thence in the chambers, and at other times in the parlour or sitting room. Neither is the noise confined to time, for it is heard at ..-....... . . various times in the day as well as in the night, and by any person who visits the apartments. Sometimes the noise will leave the house for a whole day, and return at night ; at other times nothing is heard all night, but returns with the rising sun. It always commences in the same way—a gentle tapping as with the knuckles until it becomes of the most violent description. A few days since it camp while a party were sitting in the parlour, when the door was a little way open ; the rapping then appeared to be on the top of the door, and when it increased to the highest pitch the door went to and fro as though some one was shaking it in a very vehement manner. Several scores of per sons who have visited the house declare the noise to be most awful ; and many who have gone to the house laughing at the folly or the superstitions of those who have previously visited, have returned trembling. As to the cause of this extraordinary affair various are the conjectures. The house has been in the posses sion of this family for many years past, neither has anything ever been heard till up to the time above stated. The effect produced by this circumstance on the family, and many others who have visited, has been exceedingly great ; and the young ladies can on no ac count be prevailed on to sleep in the house. The floors have all been taken up, and every search ima ginable has been made to ascertain, if possible, the real cause ; but hitherto their exertions have proved una- (From Timon's Etudes sur les Orateurs.) M. Mauguin is one of the three wits of the Chamber ' • the two others are MM. Thiers and Dupla. M. Dupin dazzles with the prismatic co lours which sparkle as it were from cut diamonds, M. Thiers with his smart points, and M. IVlauguin with the sudden brilliancy of his repartees. M. Mauguin has an open figure, fine intelligent eyes, a firm and neat organ, and a somewhat em phatical declamation. He gossips as well as he speaks, and loves to tilt with the first comer. He makes the centre of the Deputies who buz about the Hall of Conferences, and has an eye to success in the passages as well as to success in the Tribune. His person is agreeable, and his _ manners are gay and prepossessing. He captivates ; he se duces ;he is amiable. I love M. Mauguin. I love him enough to tell him aloud what,l think of him, both good and evil ; and, indeed, less evil than good. At the beginning of the revolution of July, Europe did not decidedly share the frank admira tion of M. Talleyrand for the Napoleon of Peace. The chateau was wavering between the alliance with kings and the alliance with the people. M. Mauguin did not hesitate. He was at once seized with the same warlike fever as General Lamarque, and it was a fine sight to see them both, like the late M. de Malbrouck, going off to war. Behold them started 1 They lead after them and display the battalions of the grand army. At their order, Toulon vomits forth her fleets to blockade Ancona and stir up the Adriatic, while an expedition of our best troop s, proceeding along the coast of Algiers, is to renew Bonaparte's marvels in the regions of the Nile. The Rhine is passed, Belgium is in insurrection, Vienna capitulates, Cracow throws open her gates, and, enlarged by the phalanxes of Courland and Bessarabia, the victorious propaganda opens a wide road, even to the Tanais. Even when he had arrived there, M. Mauguin rested not, and as I am not so good a geo grapher nor so export a proficient in the military art as he, I cannot enumerate, and am afraid to mangle, the names of the Prussian, Russian, Moldavian, and Wallachian provinces, the conquest of which he achieved. I verily believe that, if he had been allowed, he would have led us, by the beat of the drum, across country to the Indies themselves. On their way, he and Lamarque organized revolutions and the downfall of empires. They founded States, made treaties of trade and alliance. They bore the tricoloured flag along in their triumphs. They in vited to liberty the Calmucks, the Kirghesis, and the Kurds, and I am not sure that they did not make a lot of little charters for all these brave barbarians, who were to be delighted at being conquered. The Ladies, frequenters of the Tribune, who are always, as is well known, sensible to glory, cried out, " Bravo, Lamarque ! bravo Mauguin I" and dexterously allowed verses, laurels, and flowers, to slip out of their perfumed handkerchiefs. I my self, who am not easily dazzled, was surprised, and wondered greatly, that in so short a time, and with such feeble means, such prodigious and rapid con quests could be made. In truth, I was not without my fears for Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and I ex pected every morning to read in the official part of the Moniteur that MM. Lamarque and Mauguin had designed to admit to their little levee the Depu ties of the nations which had been freed by the suc cess of their arms, and had said, according to the custom of conquerors, " We always receive with new pleasure the expression of your devotion ;" when all of a sudden the cholera came and inter -1 rupted the course of these triumphant orations, and 1 ingloriously took off one of our Alexanders, who, if fortune had been just, would have died at the tri bune, in the explosion of his victory. By losing General Lamarque, M. Mauguin lost his post of chief officer of the staff, and it is but just that I record to his praise that he was modest and disinterested enough not to ask for his half-pay, in spite of his brilliant achievements. Save that he might continue his geographical expeditions, M. Mauguin passed from the war to the service of the colonies, and he who seven years ago wished to emancipate the Moldavians now will not emancipate the Negroes, who are just as good as the Moldavians. M. Mauguin also claims to be a very skilful di plomatist, indeed the cleverest of them all. Do not fancy that on this head you can teach him any , thing which he does not know already. He has Gro. Itius and Fuffendorff by heart, has grown pale on the j manuscript archives of Versailles, and is familiar 1 with patent treaties and addl'ional clauses. No I march or countermarch of the army is concealed ifrom him ; he foresees the destination of fleets, and I will tell you to what paint of the globe they will Iveer, even before the Admiral is at sea, er has un- I sealed his despatches. Toe tel,: ! raoli in vain mul ltiplies and crosses its long arins in a hundred fashions, for it will not deceive him. You may take it for granted that he has his communication from (a good source. He has his spies ranged along the frontiers, his journals, his private correspondence, his intelligences, his letters in cipher, and, I was ' going to add, his ambassadors. He only wants 1 secret funds to be complete Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is to this post he aspires. Do not talk to him, a jurist,:about his being keeper of the seals—that is no place for him I 1 I have already said that the maggot of advocates and kings now-a-days is to conduct foreign affairs. All of them, advocates and kings, kings and advo cates, pretend to have a perfect knowledge of what others are about. We, poor devils, would rather they would trouble themselves a little about what is 1 1 going on among ourselves. l May not the fact be, that in the very nature of us French, there is a slight dash of aristocracy, which always peeps out somewhere ? Our un hooded advocates are not a little proud of treating with crowned heads as equals. They bravely imagine that Europe is looking at them, that Europe has the most distinguished consideration for them, that they either terrify Europe or give her the greatest plea sure, and that there is something infinitely more noble and elevated—ay, beyond comparison—in touching the hand of a Bohemian Ambassador than than that of a Judge of Meaux or Melon. Besides the mania for conquest, diplomacy, and slavery, M. Mauguin has another. He wishes to pars—pardon the neologism—for a " Govern mental" man. He believes, with the best faith in the world, that the generality of his colleagues of the Opposition understand nothing, or next to no thing, of State affairs ; that they do not cherish nor respect sufficiently centralization ; that they deal too much in little controversies ; that they dive too much into details, and cannot, like him, organize a plan of Administration, and carry out vast designs. He has a weakness in favour of power, and is more touched by the necessities of the order than by those of liberty. Our little demon, M. Thiers, kept up M. Mau guin in these notions, and, like the serpent-tempter, approached him rampant, entwined around him, and, gliding up to his ear, said these words : " How can you, M. Mauguin, live with the sort of People that we are fighting with—people of narrow and ob st i nate b ra i n s ? Do you not see that you are the only one amongst them who understands what government is, and that when you are seated in our place, on this bench of grief and anguish, you will do as we do, e , M. Mauguin ? Assist us , then, since, i n working for us, who are only making your paths, you will work for yourself." Too readily did M. Mauguin yield to the in sinuation of these praises, and he did not perceive that to gain the graces of M. Thiers and his fel lows he alienated the friendship of the Opposition. I, for my own part, believe that M. Mauguin has more vanity than ambitio n . B e i ng mem b er o f a Provisory Government, that made Ministers, he been might have m ade himself a Minister, but he would not. He hadproscribed by ' Charles X. when victorious, and showed at the Hotel de Greve that he was cap a bl e of c i vil courage. His political life has been entirely Par liamentary ; it is pure, and cannot reproachs littleitself with a single bad a ction. Whether he l oves equality from disintere stedness or pride is matter; he does love it. If he defends centraliza tion, we only blame him up to a certain point. All statesmen perceive the necessity of a strong power in a country where imagination is the ruling faculty, and transports the minds of all with oblivious facility from one system to another. M. Mauguin loves, to a patriotic excess, the independence of our nation, preferring it to liberty itself. He thinks the nation requires to be occupied, to be dazzled by the sight of great things, and to feel itself govern ed. For no sort of dynasty has he any sort of personal tenderness or prejudice. Even at the bottom of his monarchical concessions there are revolutionary ,Lstincts, and I believe that he would accommodate veiling. MALIBRAN AND LAPAYETTE.--The Societe des Enfans d' Apolion of Paris is composed of the elite of those who successfully cultivate the fine arts — sculptors, painters, engravers, composers, distinguished singers, and instrumental performers. The Society never had a brighter ornament than that great singer and tragedian, and witty, graceful, and benevolent woman, Maria Malibran. She attended almost all the meetings, and often sang, where her arrival glad dened every countenance. The first meeting after the Revolution of July, 1830, was held at the Hotel de Ville, in the fine hall of St. John. General Lafayette was in the chair ; Maria Malibran was present, and M. Bouilli, the well-known dramatic author, was entrusted with the usual discourse. Lafayette's wits were, at the time, overwhelmed with the most momentous political affairs. The heat was excessive, the crowd immense, and fatigue soon plunged the " hero of both worlds" into involuntary drowsiness. M. Bouilli, never theless, continued his speech. In presence of Maria Malibran he passed a delicate eulogium upon talents which had in turn delighted America and Europe, and, raising his voice, proclaimed her the " syren of both worlds." The two last words, and the acclamations that followed, alone reached the ears of Lafayette, who, quite roused by them, made a superb bow to the assem bly. Maria Malibran gracefully bowed also, and M. Bouilli, taking his share of the increasing applause, acknowledged it with three bows. The enthusiasm and laughter of the audience were then carried to the high est pitch, and never perhaps did so general a mistake cause more excitement and surprise. THE NEW POSTAGEWS observe that some of our Contemporaries are leading their readers into error with regard to the New Postage. According to the Treasury Minute, each half-ounce was to be considered liable to one rate of postage ; but according to the following extract from the public notice issued by the Post Office, the cue is considerably altered : Postmasters should bear in mind, however, that after the first ounce in the annexed scale, no distinction is made between the ounce and a fraction of an ounce. A letter, for instance, which turns the ounce weight, i s liable to four rates of postage ; and a letter weighing a fraction above two ounces, is liable to six rates of postage, and so on." The public must, therefore, be careful in noticing whether their packets will turn the ounce in the scale, and in all doubtful cases it will be better to make a second half-ounce letter, which will save one postage.—Silurian. The Northern Liberator, an ultra-Radical paper, published at Newcastle, had the following para graphrh last Saturday :—" Defence of John Frost , Esq .— Union mu e io aniernsCommittee meet every evening at the Polit ical desirousuns stre e t , w here is true requested democrat to w attend. N ewcast l e who ail con tr i bu t ing of the a n fi d r first patriotic town i n b o t object ;letheec k i ngdom which took up this human e the districts around do their duty---let every man who has a spark of soul in him come forward, and contribute—let eve ry woman—let every child contribute their mite, to save those men who loved their country--" not wisely but too well." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3 1839. IRELAND. NATIONAL TRADES' FOLITICAL UNION.—At the last meeting of this body, at the Adelphi theatre, Dublin, a rough draft of the Address to the Queen was read, adopted, and referred to a Committee for revi- ' sion. Some discussion followed on the subject of a motion for the establishment of a company for reviving the Irish trade and manufactures. DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL AT BANDON.— In Bandon, which is represented by Mr. Sergeant Jackson, of Tory•sanctified celebrity, the Liberals are using strenuous exertions to make their influence known, and to rally the inert power which lies dormant among the popular party. They have invited Mr. O'Connell to a public entertainment, which the Honourable Member has accepted, but without naming the day for the present. This intelligence has excited a considerable share of attention, from the circumstance of Bandon being the reputed stronghold of Toryism in the south, where it was thought all but impossible to get up any thing like a public manifestation of Reform principles ; however, the late disgraceful and disloyal proceedings in England have produced the most desirable and asto nishing effect upon the public mind here. CAPTAIN VIGNOLES.—It is probable that the in vestigation will be postponed from the Ist of next month until the 10th. It is confidently asserted that Captain Vignoles' letter to Lord Morpeth contained little short of a hostile challenge. His charges against a junior officer in the constabulary will be the means of dismissing either himself or the accused. It is thought that the correspondence between the Irish Secretary and himself will be published. REPRESENTATION Of CLONSIEL.—It is stated that a canvass is going on for Clonmel, on the supposition that the Attorney-General for Ireland is to be advanced to the Bench, to be succeeded in that office by Mr. Pigott, the Solicitor-General. The rumour is that one of the Judges is about to retire, but his name is not mentioned. REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.—.I.4Ord Crofton, it is now stated, will certainly be the new Representative Peer. A vacancy has occurred in the office of Deputy- Registrar of Deeds, &c.. in Dublin, in consequence of the death of Mr. Kiloahl. It is generally stated that it will be filled by the appointment of Mr. Morgan O'Connell, one of the Members for the county of Meath. In that case, there perhaps would be a va cancy in the representation of that county. The salary is 6001. per annum. O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—There was a meeting in Cork on Sunday, to make arrangements for collecting the O'Connell tribute at all the Roman Catholic cha pels in that city and county on next Sunday-week. There have been several parish meetings in Dublin for the same purpose. The Chronicle's Dublin Correspondent says that great exertions are being made to render the collection successful, " for it is stated on authority, that Mr. O'Connell is heavily embarrassed." LAW INTELLIGENCE VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 2. MERRIMAN V. THE CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN UNION RAILWAY. Mr. K. PARKER applied in this case, exparte, on be half of the plaintiff Dr. Merriman, for an injunction to re=train the defendants from taking possession of a cer tain portion of the land of the plaintiff for the purposes of their works. From the statements of the Learned Counsel, supported by the bill and affidavit, it appeared that the plaintiff was possessed of landed property at Eaton Swindon, in Wiltshire, over part of which the de fendants proposed carrying their line of railway, and for the purpose of obtaining possession of the land, negotiations had been on foot between the solicitors of the respective parties, and an agreement had been come to on the part of the defendants to purchase the land for 8001; that agreement, however, had not been perfected, or the money paid, notwithstanding which, on the 27th of last month, a great. number of men had been sent by the defendants on the plaintiff's land, and who immediately proceeded to commence their excavations, notwithstand ing they had been warned from so doing by persons on behalf of the plaintiff. Under these circumstances the plaintiff had no other alternative left but to file his bill and apply to the Court. His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 2. Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) WILLIAMS V. BROWN. This was action upon a bill of exchange for 152/. 4s. 6d. drawn by Mr. Lutwytch, Russia leather merchant, and accepted by the defendant, a solicitor. The bill was passed to the plaintiff a wholesale sta tioner, by whom the action was brought. The defen dant pleaded that he had not accepted the bill for value —that it was an accommodation bill. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Lutwytch and the defendant were co-trustees for the repair of certain works at the King's and Queen's Docks, Rotherhithe, and an action was brought against them jointly for the amount expended in repairs of the docks, and a verdict obtained for 4311. with 1431. costs. The defendant alleged that the bill in question was given to enable Mr. Lutwytch to pay his portion of the damages and costs, while it was contended on the other hand, that Mr. Lutwytch had paid the entire, and had received the bill in part payment of his claim against his co-trustee. _ _ _ Mr. PLATT appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. HUMPHREYS for the defendant ; and, after the case had closed, Lord DENMAN left it to the Jury to say whether the bill in question was an accommodation bill or not. The evidence was rather contradictory, and it would be for them to say upon which side the weight of evidence rested. SPIRIT of th, Le PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Times labours under an access of Protestantism. The declaration of Queen Victoria to her assembled 1 Councillors is not only alarming, but contrary to prece- ' dent ; for her grandfather, on announcing his intention to marry, made his consort's attachment to Protestantism a prominent part of his speech. " The active and eventful war," says our Contemporary, " then in the course of being carried on, was not a war for any religious objects ; but one of ambition and tem poral policy ; but still the nation felt for the inte rests of Protestantism." This is true. And we may add, that all wars in which religion was put forward even as a pretext had ceased long before George 111. was born ; though some legislation went on, and much was impeded, in the name of religion, but from motives of " ambition and temporal policy." It is not for us to say why Ministers omitted a matter of such grave importance ; but perhaps they will be obliged to gratify the public curiosity ; for the Times declares that they " must not expect to pass off at no heavier cost that of half a dozen fugitive paragraphs of animadversion in the public press." What their punishment will be the Times leaves people to conjecture. P er haps impeach ment. Perhaps an entire column per diem for the next month. Without in the least undervaluing the Act o Settlement, which was a good and perhaps a ne-f cessary security when it was passed, we think that the danger of its being violated was not so great as to render any particular mention of it desirable. At the accession of George the Third, the Pope and Pretender (not to mention a third personage) were more formidable than they are now ; and were feared even beyond the nursery. At present, notwithstanding the bluster of a few Orange news papers, nobody looks upon Popery as anything more than a watchword used by the most violent leaders of faction, to impose upon the most ignorant portion of their followers. In 1761, penal laws and disabi lities oppressed and annoyed the Catholic sub jects of the Crown. These have been gradually re moved ; and under the happy auspices of Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington the great act was done for which the bigots will never forgive them, although they still affect to regard them as their leaders. When the Spanish Armada was on its way to England, there might be some reason for stationing soldiers and artillery in Smithfield, and for reminding good Protestants of what had been done there. At present such topics are appropriate for Guy Fawkes sermons, but for nothing higher ; and we apprehend that any obtrusive mention of Protestantism in the Royal Speech would have beery as impertinent as moving the gun and mortar from St. James's Park, or Queen Elizabeth's pocket pistol from the Tower, to Smithfield on the fifth of November. (From the Courier.) The Spectator semi-officially announces a resuscita Jon of Lend Durham on the public scene, whom late accounts from the north represented almost hors de combat from ill health. At least we gather so much from the tenor of an article on the Canada question, in which the spur is applied, with a gentle and friendly indisposition to wound, to his Lordship, on the score of being " infected" with " timidity." For our own parts we shall be greatly rejoiced at such a state of convalescence as shall enable him to travel South and practically redeem a portion only of those mighty pledges and denunciations thundered forth amidst such a flourish of drums, trumpets, and salvos of artillery on both sides of the Atlantic in the way of parting adieus and greet ings home. We are by no means more apprehensive about Lord Durham's future performances than dis appointed in his past failures, which were no small source of annoyance to our able Contemporary at the time, as they have been since. The fact is, that Lord Durham is a bold rider of that sort who never attempt a five barred g.tte until it has been cleared, and the way shown, by adozen horsemen bolder still ; and although he may come in with others at the death, he is never so first and foremost as to be entitled to the brush. Under Lord Brougham's protection he pulled through fairly enough in both Houses, but we do not think the Dur ham dilly, with one inside passenger alone, and a few out siders more drag than value, will long keep the road. There is an old score to be wiped off at the bar where Lord Brougham takes the toll ; and a more formidable Cetberus of a gatekeeper cannot well be affronted. A sop cannot appease, even had Lord Durham one to offer, which he L as not, nor with the potent Treasury at com mand could have ; for Lord Brougham cannot forget, much less forgive, the Parthian onslaught of his ever flying, never tangible assailant. The Durham campaign will therefore be a flash in the pan, and no more. (From the Standard.) A correspondent has favoured us with a leng ar• title, detailing the history of the person who is said to be the conductor of the " Church Magazine." As we learn from this article that the gentleman in ques tion has been in the habit of abusing the Standard in the various newspapers, magazines, &c., that have perished or been brought to extremity in his hands, we must decline any more particular allusion .to him than is necessary to acquit the Church of accrediting him or being influenced by him. The truth, how ever, is, that this gentleman's history during the last three or four years, constitutes a complete proof that the Church disowns his opinions —every publication to which he has put his hand within the period in question has died from inanition, or been saved from that fate by passing under another management. Now, such being the case, we can scarcely think it necessary that the several orders of the clergy should as semble in Synod to condemn the doctrine of the " Church Magazine," a course that the Globe seems to point out as indispensable. We believe that, as regards the Wesleyans, hut one feeling and one opinion pr,evails with 99 out of every 100 Churchmen. We regret their separation, but their conduct proves that our regret must he asso ciated with respect. When the Apostle says, " When you make divisions are you not carnal ?"—he by no means intimates that all divisions are necessarily the result of a worldly temper. He knew too well, that in the sacred college of the Apostles themselves there had been conscientious divisions. He merely appeals to the consciences of those whom he interrogates— calling upon them to try their motives, and if they find these motives carnal, as envy, anger, strife, cupidity, or the contrary, so to judge of the guilt or innocence of the separation. Now, the Wesleyans have given the best proof that they are not carnal in their separation, by an acknowledgment of the merits of the Church from which they have slightly separated, and by co-operating heartily and affectionately with it in de fence of our common Protestantism ; they have adopted Quintilian's sound advice—" Ne studio qui aniare nondum possint oderint." The carnal, that is the cor rupt Separatists, prove their corrupt motives by hatred to the Church, and by their friendship with Popery. Churchmen know how to distinguish between them and conscientious Separatists, such as the Wesleyans. BRUTALITY OF A SEA CAPTAIN.—John Blagdon, of the brig Woodman, was brouzlit before the North Shields Magistrates, by J ames Donald, his ap prentice. It appeared that in September, 1838, the Captain had most brutally treated the c omplainant in America, lashed the flesh off his back, and knocked out his hip, by which he is rendered a cripple for life. The Magistrates, thanks to the equitable laws, could not do more than exact a pecuniary mulct off the brute ; they, therefore, fined him 51., and ordered the boy's wages to be paid up to the present time.—Northern Liberator CRIME IN SUSSEX.—There was a deplorable xhibition of c rime and depravity at the sessions just concluded at Lewes. Eight men were charged on no less than nineteen indictments, with sheep-stealing and other felonies. One of these, named Heasman, who made the first disclosures that led to the apprehension of the gang, was admitted as Queen's evidence, and the coolness with which he narrated the circumstances that criminated his companions, evidenced a most fearful state of moral turpitude. The amount of property which he had been concerned in destroying during the last three or four years, it would not be easy to calcu late. We understand that be has confessed to the com mittal of between twenty and thirty different felonies, and, according to his own evidence, he seems to have proceeded about them as if ordinary affairs of business. The whole eight lived at Barcombe, and some had borne previous good characters. Most of them were in the re ceipt of appre hension had 1001. i n cash in his hous e, besides owning good wages, and one at the time of his a cottage.—Brighton Herald. CHARTIST ORGANIZATION. --There is little doubt that the Chartist leaders in several districts around Manchester have recently been at no small pains but who, we are h a ppy to say, constitute a small to maintain, or t o re animate, the organization which had f orme d amon gst their followers, previously to their e ver -t o -b e -l amen ted, national holiday experi ment. At p resen t, th o se who yet remain with them por tion of th e wor ki ng c l as ses) are formed into districts, companies, and sections, with each an officer, much the same in name and functions as those lately exposed by the movement in Wales. That these deluded people are generally armed, there is not the least doubt ; and that they expected to have been called on to use th e i r arms, is as cer t a i n . When Feargus O'Connor, twelve months ago, pledged them his solemn word that on the 29th of September last the Charter should be the law of the land, his foolish hearers never doubted, that. he would at all events make some attempt to obt a i n what he pro m i se d ; an d they prepared in good earn es t t o assist him.

DEATH FROM DRINKING ARDENT SPIRITS. On Saturday evening a jury was empannelled before Mr. Higgs in the board-room of St. George's Hospital, to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Richard Smith, a cab-driver, aged forty-one years, who, it was alleged, had died from the effects of drinking an immoderate quantity of ardent spirits administered to him by Mr. Warren, a wine and spirit merchant in Piccadilly. From the evidence it appeared that about half-past three o'clock on '1 hursday morning Mr. Warren, a wine-merchant, of 151, Piccadilly, returned home in a cab, with the driver of which a slight altercation arose on the subject of the fare. Eventually, however, the matter was settled by the deceased consenting to take four shillings, pro -viding he bad something to drink given to him. Mr. Warren then called in several cab-drivers, to each of whom, as well as to the deceased, be gave a glass of rum. The deceased was not quite sober. After he had taken this glass he began to talk, and told Mr. Warren that his heart was troken, and had been for some years, at the same time asking if a situation could be provided for him, so that he might then leave his present occu pation. Shortly after this he appeared to be quite lost, and began to talk about George IV., the House of Com mons, broiled fowls, and Vauxhall slices of ham. He then took a second glass, the contents of which he did not swal low one-half. Altogether the deceased drank about a glass and a half. During the time he was talking in this disconnected manner the mouth of the deceased was no ticed to be slightly drawn up, and almost instantly after wards he became perfectly mad. Mr. Warren observing this, said, " My poor MID, what is the matter with you ; I will take care of you." He, however, pulled out his watch, and began tearing at the chain, whereupon Mr. Warren seized hold of him, and called for assistance ; and as soon as that had arrived he ran off for Mr. Guthrie, the surgeon. Soon after this, the deceased became in such a state as to render it necessary that he should be conveyed to the hospital, where, notwithstand ing everything had been done for him,he expired within three hours. On opening the body a quantity of ardent spirits was found in the stomach. Mr. Warren was here called in. He was very much excited. With re spect to the deceased he had gives him some rum in common with other parties, but the deceased seemed to be in such a low state of melancholy that he had thought him to require something to support him. The Coroner, in adverting to the evidence, said that there could be but little, if any, doubt of the deceased being a habitual drunkard, and that the addition of the rum which had been given him by Mr. Warren had proved too much for him. It, however, did not appear that that gentleman had given him the spirits with any bad intention. The brother of the deceased denied that he was a drunkard. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied with the evidence, and returned a verdict " That the deceased had died from the effects of drinking ardent spirits." THE WEATHER IN THE woRTn. For some days past the weather bas given shrewd in dications of approaching winter, and on Wednesday we had a considerable fall of snow, after two or three days of sharp frost. A. thaw commenced yesterday, accom panied with rain. The fall of snow has been more heavy in the south and west, in consequence of which the London mails have been some hours behind their time for two or three days.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Saturday. We have had a severe storm this week. The ac counts from the country state that the snow has fallen to a great depth, particularly in the South of England.— Aberdeen Herald. Winter seems about to commence in full rigour at a rather earlier period than usual. From all parts of the country we hear of the prevalence of frost and snow during the week, and this district has not been exempted from the visitation. Sunday was cold and bleak, giving threatening of the heavy and incessant rain which fell during the night, and till the afternoon of the following day. On Monday night a sharp hoar frost set in, and on the morning of Tuesday, the Cheviots were seen to be covered with snow. The frost disappeared during the day, but recommenced on Wednesday evening, ac companied with a fall of snow which covered the ground several inches deep, but disappeared from the lower grounds on the following day. The quantity of snow which has fallen in other districts, however, has been so considerable as to affect the roads. The south mail on Thursday was two hours behind its time, and the north mail more than half an hour.—Berwick Advertiser. The weather, during the past week has been very severe in this part of the country ; and it appears to have been equally so in the south, where the rains have been heavy and long-continued, and thousands of acres of land are under water. The winds are at the same time piercingly cold, and to complete the wintry cha racter of the season, we had a heavy fall of snow on Thursday morning, and some others since. We be lieve we are perfectly warranted in asserting that, owing to the long prevalence of unfavourable weather, three fourths of the wheat lands in the North remain unsown— and all hope of their undergoing that operation before the spring seems utterly precluded. The prospect is suffi ciently dreary, not to say alarming ; but let us hope that altered v►ews may succeed the haughty rejection of reason and argument that has hitherto ruled in the quarters alluded to ; and that a sounder policy may be induced by circumstances which so glaringly pourtray the folly, danger, and wickedness of the existing one— for the common benefit of all, not a sectional or class pre-eminence.—Durham Chronicle. DEATHS BY SUFFOCATION-This morning a horrible event was discovered on board a vessel now lying at our quay—the Martha, schooner, of Cockenzie, William Ovens, master, which arrived here yesterday morning. During the day the crew had been engaged in discharging her ballast, and for the purpose of drying the hold preparatory to her taking in her cargo, a small fire was kept lighted throughout the day, Last night the crew, after putting the hatches on, went to bed, the captain and mate in the cabin, and three seamen (the remainder of the crew) in the forecastle. This morning about eight o'clock the mate, seeing none of the seamen stirring, went to the forecastle to call them, where he was horrified at discovering two of them, who occupied the same bed, lying dead, and the third nearly so. They had been suffocated by the fumes of the stove. Surgical assistance was instantly procured, and the man still in life was removed to the dispensary, where every means for his restoration was applied, and he is now in a fair way for recovery. Dr. Edgar at tempted to bleed the other two, but in vain.—Berwick Advertiser. A woman named Wilson, a few days ago, at Bridgnorth, left her house to fetch some water, leaving a child about four years old in the cradle. On her return she discovered th a t a f erret h a d f o und its wa y into the crib, and had attacked the infant severely bitten it, and eaten part of the cheek and nose away. However, from ,tet here d isn prompt assistance of Mr. Coley, surgeon . probability of the child's recovery.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. ___. The Jury found for the plaintiff, 152/. 4s. 6d. with nterest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, D.Sc. 2. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) PARROT V. ITCHELLS. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 308/., the balance of an attorney's bill of 42.5/. Mr. JER VIS and Mr. V.:WILLiAms appeared for the plaintiff, and proved the retainer given by the defendant in a suit against him for tithes. He also proved the work done, and the reasonableness of the charges. When the defendant was served with the writ he said he had parted with all his property, and all bis interest in the farm to his sons, and he never would pay one farthing of the costs—they might imprison the body, but they could not the soul. Mr. EVANS (with whom was Mr. Waleshy) said there never was a more unjust action than this one brought against an ignorant farmer—he meant ignorant so far as the giving of a retainer went. The facts of the case were these. In 1817 the then lay impropria tor of the parish of Presbury, in Cheshire, for the first time within living memory, claimed tithes upon hay and other produce. Of course the claim caused great consternation, and a meeting of the owners and occupiers of the land was held, a Com mittee was appointed and empowered to defend all actions brought for tithes on hay against all of the parties who became parties to the deed then made, and all were to subscribe according to the interest in and the extent of the land he occupied. A vast number of actions were tried at the Chester Assizes—they were brought up to the Exchequer Chamber, in error, and afterwards it being determined to bring the case before the House of Lords—two cases were selected to be carried up—all the others to abide the event of those —one of the selected cases was that of the defendant,—but it was always understood that no one was to be individually liable for the ex penses, but that they should be borne by the Com mittee. la 1831 the defendant was served with a writ for tithes. He immediately went to the Committee, and one of them accompanied him to the office of the plaintiff, to whom he gave the writ. Mr. Parrot had never been his solicitor ; in fact, he had no knowledge of him but through the Committee. The plaintiff was employed by them, and to them he ought to look for his bill of costs. He had at all times paid his subscript ion to the Com mittee. The Committee employed two other solici tors, besides Mr. Parrot, and he would prove that the damages and costs in the action Trevor v. Itchells, had been paid by the other attorney. If he made out this case he hoped that his client would be saved from ruin by the verdict of the Jury. He called John Itchells, the son of the defendant, who said he called upon the plaintiff to know who had paid the 1161. which he had deducted from the bill he had formerly delivered. Plaintiff said it had been paid, and his father had better pay 1001.—he would then fish in the little brooks, and see what money he could get—perhaps the bill might be much reduced. He further proved that the costs in Trevor and Itchell had been paid by a Mr. Davenport, and put in the deed made in 1817. Mr. JERVIS replied—His Lordship summed up for the plaintiff, and the jury immediately returned a ver (Let accordingly—Damages, 309/. 2s. 6d. - . - HINES V. JOHNSON AND ANOTHER. Mr. CItESWELL (with whom was Mr. CluuroN) stated this case to the Jury. The plailitiff was a gen tleman of fortune, who, intending to retire from Barba does, where he had filled the offices of Magistrate and Member of Council, sent over his famil y to this country, intending to follow rs soon as convenient. Mrs. Hines took a ready-furnished house at Notting-hill, to which the plaintiff came in June. Early in July he was asto nished at the visit of a Sheriffs' officer and his fol lowers, who stated that they intended to seize the fur niture, they having an execution against Mr. Dove, the landlord. The plaintiff told them the circumstances under which he had the house, and desired them to go, but they refused. The defendant had pleaded leave and license of the plaintiff, that leave and license con sisted of his finding the door open while the children were going out for a walk ; it also consisted in his giving the officer notice to quit, and serving the notice at the Sheriffs'•office, and it further consisted in his de claring that if they p ers i s t e d i n stay i ng t h ey s h ou ld have neither meat nor drink. The officer afterwards found out his mistake, and he was withdrawn, after being in possession two days. For that gross outrage he sought compensation from a Jury. The case was clearly proved by the two servants of the plaibtiff. Mr. KENNEDY addressed the jury for the defendant. He said it was a most scandalous action, and one which would never have been brought into Court had it not been for the prejudice which existed against Sheriffs' officers. Mrs. Hines, it was proved, for a long time acted in a manner as if she were single. She trans acted all the business, and he would prove that she at once pointed out the goods belonging to Mr. Dove, and said he might take whae he pleased of them ; that he relied upon to prove the plea of leave and license. He would also prove that there were several articles left on the premises which were not included in the inventory, they, of course, were the property of Mr. Dove. against whom the officer had an execution. He had a right to seize them wherever he could find them, and having proved that there would be an end of the case, and a proper ending of it too, for whatever might have been the rank of the plaintiff in Barbadoes, he must say that a more paltry action he had never seen in a Court of Justice. He called James Dove, the landlord, who said that there was a music stool and three pairs of plated candle sticks left in the house when let to Mr. Hines, that were not intended to go with it. The follower of the officer was called, who deposed that Mrs. Hines at once pointed out the p ro p er ty be longing to Mr. Dove, and said he had better remain a few days while she provided herself with another house. Mr. CRESWELL replied, and his Lordship having summed up, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 101. EXCHEQUER IN EQUITY, DEC. 2. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON at Sergeant's Inn THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.--..PETITION OF GREGORY. This was a petition praying for the confirmation of the Master's report, and the payment of all expenses by the Company. It appeared that in January last it was referred to the Master to inquire whether certain pre mises were fit to be purchased for the investment of a sum of upwards of 2501. paid for land purchased by the Company, the petitioner advancing 1001. more for the completion of the purchase. Mr. JAMES, who appeared for the Company, sub mitted that they ought not to be compelled to pay all the costs. If they were ordered do so, they would be . put to the expense of about 2001. for the investment of 2501. not in the purchase of land but of a freehold dwelling house, garden and orchard, which must be sold after the deaz,h of a lady. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—How old is the lady ? Mr. James—lt does not appear. If young there is the chance of her marrying, and, if old, of dying. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—She may be neither young nor old ; that is very often the case with ladies. Mr. JAMES—Does your Lordship think the Company ought to be put to all this expense ? Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I think the costs should be apportioned according to the purchase money in Court, and that advanced by the party. The Learned Gentleman who appeared for the peti tioner, said- there could be no additional costs except the stamp. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You have no business to make a purchase of this description for your own con venience with the Company's money, because you might buy an estate of 20,000/. and pay 19,750/. of your own money. The costs were then ordered to be paid as suggested by his Lordship. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dffc. 2. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice MAULE and a Special Jury ) CURRIE V. ALMON. This was an action for a malicious prosecution for forging a bill of exchange. The pleas were, first, that the plaintiff had forged or uttered the bill ; and, thirly, that the bill was forged by an unknown person to plaintiff's knowledge. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. V. Richards, and Mr. Henderson, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Kelly and Mr. Jervis for defendant. It seemed that a person calling himself Col. Adair had ordered regimentals of plaintiff, a military tailor, and had given 841. in cash, and the bill in question, which, in the ordinary course of business, were sent to defendant. Thiy had subsequently quarrelled, and de fendant had asserted that the plaintiff had passed the bill off as accepted by a Col. Adair, of Plymouth. Plaintiff had entered an action against the defendant for slander, having before taken up the bill (the first Col. Adair who had accepted it, not paying it), and then the defendant prosecuted plaintiff for the forgery, unsuccessfully, the case being at once discharged. Mr. KELLY, for the defendant, abandoned the forg ing and uttering pleas, but contended that there was proof of the bills being forged by this person calling himself Colonel Adair, the acceptor, with the know ledge of plaintiff. The principal witness for defendant was his brother, who deposed to a certain conversation, seeming to point to the Colonel Adair, of Plymouth, as the acceptor. Bnt the conversation grew out of, and appeared to re late to some clothes which plaintiff was making for Col. Adair's sons. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD replied ; and after the Judge had summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of 2001. damages. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Lewis was indicted for stealing two pictures and several articles of wearing apparel, the property of a person named Hazlewood, and Cecilia Lewis and Jeniima Dorset with receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. There was another count charging the female prisoners with receiving the goods from some evil disposed person. It appeared from the evidence of Ann Hazlewood, that on the evening of the l Ith of November, she left her house, 4, Milton-place, at seven o'clock, and closed the street door, leaving the property in question in her parlour. On her return, at nine o'clock, she found the street door open, and the property gone. Two policemen had watched the prisoner, Dosset, carrying a bundle to the lodgings of the prisoner, Cecilia Lewis, who is her sister. They followed her in, and found the bundle contained the linen stolen from Mrs. Hazlewood. The pictures were found underneath the prisoner Lewis's bed. On the person of the male pri soner were found a bundle of skeleton keys, two of which would open the street door of the prosecutrix's house. The male prisoner, Lewis, denied all knowledge of the transaction, and the other prisoners stated that they had found the bundle. The RECORDER summed up, and stated that it ap peared from the evidence that the prisoner, Dosset, had received the goods from her husband, who was not yet in custody, and therefore she could not be convicted for receiving goods from her husband. This also occa sioned some legal difficulties, as regarded the prisoner Cecilia Lewis, who, it was proved, had received the goods from Jemima Dossett ; but he thought if the Jury were of opinion that she knew the goods to havo been stolen, the safer course would be to find her guilty, and the point should be reserved for the opinion of the Judges. The Jury then found the prisoners William Lewis and Cecilia Lewis Guilty, and acquitted the poisoner Jemima Dossett. The RECORDER said that William Lewis being con victed, there no longer remained any difficulty as re garded Cecilia Lewis. The two convicts were afterwards called up for judg ment, when William Lewis was sentenced to be trans ported for 15 years and the female for ten years. In the course of the day two boys, aged 10 years, convicted of burglary, were sentenced to be transported for 10 years. Two other boys of the same ages, and another aged 11, were convicted of a similar offence, but strongly recommended to mercy by the jury on account of their tender years. The RECORDER sentenced them to be imprisoned for one month. The case of John Biron, the Master of the John Rennick convict ship, who stands indicted for embezzling and secreting certain naval stores, the propsrty of the Crown, and which should have been appropriated to the maintenance of convicts on their voyage to New South Wales, in the above vessel, was called on at the sitting of the Court. The defendant, who had been admitted to hail, did not appear in discharge of the recognizances of his bail. Mr. Shepherd, with whom were Mr. Adolphus end Mr. Phillips, were in attendance on behalf of the Crown. The defendant's case was in the hands of Messrs. Clarkson, Bodkin, and Ballantine. Upon the defendant not answering when called upon his recognizances, Mr. SHEPHERD applied to the Court for the estreat of the recognizances of the bail. After some conversation between the Counsel and the Recorder, it was ultimately arranged, with the con sent of the prosecutors, that the trial should stand over until next session, and that the recognizances of the bail should in the meantime be respited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN- SQUARE. SUNDAY TRADING.—A gentleman, in the course of yesterday, came before Mr. Burrell, and said he had an application to make, provided it did not appear in the papers. Mr. BURRELL observed that he could not, nor did he wish, to control the press, but would the applicant favour him with his name and the nature of his business. The applicant said that his name was Willesford, that he resided in Sloane-street, and was one of the Churchwardens for the parish of S t. Luke, Chelse. It was his wish, and he was sure i t was reciprocal upon the part of many of the most respectable inh bitants of Chelsea, to put an end to Sunday trading, which was carried on to a great extent i n the upper part of the parish. The parties he now desiredee to have sommonses against were a baker and a e monger, resident in North-street ; and if they ch s w ere granted, he could prove upon good evidence that they had transgressed the law. Mr. BURRELL asked how far the baker bad of. fended ? The applicant said that he had sold bread upon the Sunday morning ; and that the cheeserannger, who was in fact a general dealer, sold several articles during church time. Mr. BURRELL said that as the baker did not serve in church time, and what he sold was an absolute Pei cessity, he should not issue a summons a gainst him, bu • the applicant might take one agai nst the cheesemonger ious [Mr. Burrell deserves great pra ise for the judic view he takes of complaints b rou g ht before him. lie was the first Magistrate who d is p la y ed anything like common sense respecting the absurd i n terpretati on given to the clause of the Police Act, about shutting LIP public-houses at l 2 on Saturday night.] THE MARKETS-(YESTERDAY BREAD. leAle;opolis is iNd. for the ,11h, SEEDS. i'er Quartet.
