They cannot imagine that other par ties can be anxious to do good to their fellow-men with out being actuated by the same base and disgrace ful motives." The grammar of this precious philippic is somewhat in eclipse, like the consistency of the Conservatives; but let that pass, our business at pre sent is rather with its sentiment than its syntax. No one can doubt that the writer is of the monopolist per suasion, and as little, that his abuse—however dis guised under a lofty show of contempt—originates in apprehension of the threat of the League to look sharply after the register, and in jealousy of the . . hostilities might be not the easily repaired loss of some millions, but the inevitable loss of his empire. But no ! whilst eur soldiers and seamen were courageously fulfill ing their duty on the double frontier of Morocco, your eyes were fixed in another direction. A single idea absorbed you, which was to secure England against a contingency which did not regard her, to give to her implacable jealousy a pledge of a word of honour which she had neither the right to inquire nor to solicit. And it is thus that, in - order to avoid some immediate difficulties, you have spontaneously excited others more considerable. The war is not con cluded, and the Emperor, who is aware that in any case you will not attack him before next spring, will probably not hasten to grant you what you demand. In this position, what will you do ? Will you evacuate the island of Mogadore, according to the word of, honour you have given ? And then the bombardment will have been a mere useless cruelty, which will give the Moors a right to curse and mock you, or you will have violated your sacred engagement—you will have violated your word of honour—you will indefinitely have prolonged an occupa tion which ought to be but temporary ; and in that case you will have admitted that England bad a right to oecupy herself with a war so important for her, and you will find in your road that systematic malevolence, those exigencies, and those threats, before which you at pre sent fly." Several of the journals express great indignation at what they regard the ungrateful return made by Belgium for all the blessings conferred on her by France. In reference to the late commercial treaty which the former country has entered into with Germany, the Quotidienne says : " The commercial tie which is about to bind Belgium to Germany will, if it takes place, become a political bond, and the powers who condemned Belgium to neu trality will willingly revoke their sentence as soon as they think that they can make Belgium what they did in 1815—the advanced guard of Germany against France. Certainly it was not with this view that the Revolution of July bestowed upon her daughter, Belgium, men and money with so much prodigality ; it was not to this end that the Chamber of Deputies endowed the Princess, who was to be a bond of peace between the two people; but Belgium looks rather to the future than to the past, and seeks for guarantees in Germany, because the alli ance with and protection of the Government inflicted upon us inspires her with no more confidence than it acquires from the other States. This is daily revealed by facts the weakness of the policy which presides over our destinies ; every day our isolation is drawn closer and closer, and the circle becomes more and more nar row. Can we then be astonished that our rulers should be attached to England ; for if England should abandon them what would remain to them?" The National is equally indignant : " We cannot blame Belgium for having thus attached herself to Germany. The little kingdom of Leopold cannot exist without the support of others. Severed from Holland, she had to choose between Germany and France ; and since France, from fear of offending foreign Powers, and giving dissatisfaction to the magnates of her own commerce and industry, seemed to be afraid of form ing a closer connexion with her, she was forced to throw herself into the arms of Germany. We have long fore seen this result ; but it is nevertheless to be deplored. It has been, indeed, a great fault thus to have allowed the port of Antwerp to become de facto the port of the Con federation, of which Prussia is the chief. If we could have granted to Belgium the same advantages as the Zoll verein has afforded her, she would, no doubt, have pre ferred holding fast to our alliance ; but we are governed by a party which occupies itself very little with the poli tical interests of France, provided her cloths, her coals, and ber iron be not exposed to any serious competition. It is the same party which appropriates all the railroads, and monopolises the power of domination in all things. Let Antwerp become a Prussian port—it will cause no concern to this party. It would as willingly give up Dun kirk and Bordeaux to the English, if, by doing so, it might hope to see the coal mine and railroad shares quoted on 'Change at higher prices." The French Funds fell considerably on Wednesday, the Three per Cents. 70 centimes, and the Fives 60 centimes. " untoward" consequences that will accrue to his party from such laudable vigilance on the part of the free traders. The language of the philippic is contemptuous and swaggering enough, but the spirit is mean and cowardly to a degree. The " hand is the hand of Esau, buC the voice is the voice of JACOB." Did the writer redly entertain the scorn which he professes for the League—did he really believe that it consisted merely of " notoriously selfish impostors" and " bold vagabonds," most assuredly he would never have taken the trouble to pelt them with such desperate Billingsgate as he has done in the above passage ; but would have contented himself with maintaining a haughty silence, and laughing at the exertions of those from whom he felt that monopoly had nothing to fear. But, despite his affected contempt for the Anti-Corn-law League, he knows and feels in his inmost heart that it is an engine of infinite moral power—that it is a confederacy whose influence is daily on the increase—that every move it makes gives a rude shake to the crazy fabric of monopoly—that, even when apparently inactive, it is in reality as alert as a vigilant sentinel on his post—and that its recently announced determination to take a leaf out of the Tory book, and look sharply after the register, is an omen of the most disastrous import to the protection ists. The writer of the vulgar and intemperate letter on which we have been commenting, knows and feels all this, hence his exquisite alarm, which he would fain, but cannot, disguise, under a show of lofty indig nation and contempt. To do him justice, his appre hensions are by no means ill-founded, and long ere the present year shall have reached its close, he will find that the interference of the League with the register will have been productive of the most dis astrous results to the cause which he espouses. Sir ROBERT PEEL, that consistent advocate of expediency, will be foremost to acknowledge the moral influence of this great confederacy's exertions during the re cess, and. will shape his course accordingly, no longer declaring himself—as at the commencement of the last session—in terms of open hostility to the League, but discreetly moderating his opposition, and perhaps even making a decided move in the direction of free. trade. We learn from Madrid papers of the 29th ult. that the Opposition party began to show some symptoms of life. The forthcoming elections have excited gene ral interest, and both Carlists and Progresistas were in the fiEld. The former, it was believed, would be successful.. in Old Castile, and at Palencia Senors OLOZAGA ,MADOZ, LOPEZ, and SEOANE had come for ward as c andidates. The Government, it is said, are busily er4;aged in framing measures for the delibera tion of th e Cortes, which, we believe, will assemble next inorrth. The following notice appears in the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th of August : " The Governor has received an official communica tion, in waich it is stated that all the Moorish subjects who had fled from Tangiers have been permitted to re turn, and that the gates will always be open to them. It is added, in the same dispatch, that the British sub jects, who, in returning to Tangiers, may have no other object than that of gratifying their curiosity, are im plored neither to enter nor remain in the town, so long as the Morocco question shall continue in its present state. This does not, of course, apply to the servants of her Majesty, nor to those whom commercial affairs may oblige to res ide in the town." The Three per Cents. were done at 271- at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20, and the Coupons at 251 at 60 days ; and the Floating Debt at 60i at 50 days. Certain .of the Paris journals, which must have pe culiar scan ces of information, gravely describe what has taken :place at several Cabinet Councils in Lon don in reference to the settlement of the Otaheite question. One of them states that the " Cabinet Coun cil held on Monday last was adjourned to Tuesday, merely because it was deemed advisable, considering the gravity of the affair under deliberation, that the council should be as numerous as possible, and the Duke of BticcnEucu, the Earl of RIPON, and Mr. GLAnsTotil, were absent. There existed no differ ence of opinion between Lord ABERDEEN, the Duke of WaLimscToN, and Sir R. PEEL. All three were agreed that the satisfaction offered by France was not sufficient. M. D'AUBIGNT ought to be recalled, because he commanded the arrest of Mr. PRITCHARD, and M. BRUAT for having ordered his expulsion. The Eng lish Cabinet declared against France, not only on the question of fact, but on the question of right, How ever criminal the conduct of a British agent, it escapes every interference, and the flag covers the Consul, even should be fire,!or cause others to fire, against us." M. TRIERS' journal gives rather a different report of the deliberations of the English Ministers. "It was reported ? " says the Constitzttionnel, " on Tuesday afternoon that the Government had received by ex traordinary express the substance of what passed at the Cabinet Council on Monday last. After the question pending between France and England was introduced by Lord ABERDEEN, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir R. PEEL proposed that the reparation offered by the French Cabinet should be rejected as insufficient ; the Duke of WELLINGTON was of the same opinion; but Lord ABERDEEN observed, that to refuse the reparation offered by M. GuizoT would be to compel that Minister and his colleagues to resign, and thus expose the good understanding existing be- THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, ,SEPT. 4. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price.

The Council adjourned to the following day without coming to a determina tion. It is believed that the Minister for Foreign Affairs will succeed in convincing Sir R. PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON that what the French Go vernment proposes is sufficient humiliation." The Opposition journals will, however, soon know the result of these deliberations, from the speech of one of the Ministers, and then the National, the Con stitutionnel, the Siec/e, and journals of a similar spirit will raise an outcry against M. GUIZOT sufficient to shake him out of his place. They will assert France has been sacrificed, the " stranger" has yielded to the menaces of England, and nothing is left for the country but humiliation and disgrace. There is no fresh intelligence in these papers from the Prince Da JOINYILLE, but we find in the Consti tutionnel an extract of a letter from an aide-de-camp of the Prince to the French Consul at Cadiz, dated on board the Pluton, August 17, which is in these words : " The Admiral has received orders to keep possession of the island of Mogadore, in which we have placed a garrison. The possession of the island is equivalent to that of the city, and fulfils all our desires, insuring us a guarantee for the complete satisfaction of all our wrongs. The city will remain in a state of blockade, and conse quently the Emperor will be deprived of the large revenue he derived from its customs, which is wounding him in his most sensitive part. The campaign is thus brought to a close." Other journals, however, take a different view of the results, and infer that before the EMPEROR, yields to the conditions of France, more battles and more bombardments must take place. The National which hates peace in every shape and in any quarter, thus attacks the Ministry for leaving the work half done to please England :-- "After the victory you retreat as you would have done after a:defeat. In place of leading your army against the epemy, you withdrew it. In place of occupying his fron tier, you return to your own. What do you expect that lie should fear, unless he should become afraid of a shadow ? By declaring that under no circum stances would France make a war of conquest against Morocco, that she regarded as absurd and insane, not only all extension of the Algerine terri tory, but all durable occupation of any portion of the Moorish coast— that after the war, as well as previ ously, the French Government would never require from Morocco, any cession of town or territory—that the same motives which dictated this declaration still existed, and that her word of honour was publicly pledged to that effect in the face of Europe,—iit making that decla ration, the Government had acted directly against its object. There are but two modes of conquering an enemy—to do him injury, or to cause him to fear you. It was precisely because you were determined not to in jure. th e E m p eror o f Morocco that you ought to have frightened him. This extension of our territory, this permanent occupation of the towns, should have been suspended over his head as the inevitable consequence of encouraging our enemies on his frontier. It was neces sary to make him comprehend that the consequence of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) ROCIIESTER AND CHATHAM RACES. THURSDAY. The Maiden Plate of 501. heats, once round.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The average price of Wheat last week was 181. 46c.; and that of Rye 10f. 45c. The import and export duties remain as before. We continue to receive the most afflicting accounts of the damage done by the overflowing of the Demer, and the rupture of the dike of the Laek. An account from Cologne, of the 31st August, informs us that in July, 1844, there were 47,576 passengers con veyed by the Rhenish railway (16,970 more than in July, 1843). The quantity of gcods in the same month was 422,579 cwt. (304,236 cwt. more than in Jnly, 1843). The receipts amounted to 65,697 dollars (28,149 dollars more than in 1843). The total receipts in the first seven months of 1844, was 279,819 dollars, which is an excess of 128,508 dollars above the receipt in the first seven months of last year. The conclusion of the treaty with the Zollverein has caused general surprise and satisfaction, being wholly un expected. At Antwerp the sensation caused by the news which the Minister of the Interior sent as soon as possible to the Governor of the city was very great, and completely changed the idea of the merchants who dis approved the conduct of the Government with respect to Prussia, but now acknowledge that if their system had been followed in preference to that of the Government, they would not have obtained the advantages which this city promises. STOCKHOLM, AUG. 29.—The question of the repre sentation is decided in the Diet. In the Chamber of the Nobles the debate in this most important question lasted from nine in the morning till seven in the evening. Baron Nordenfalk first delivered a speech, in which he stated the reasons for which the King's advisers re mained neuter in this matter. The result was the rejec tion of the proposed system of representation by a ma jority of 458 to 82. In the Chamber of the Clergy the debate was con tinued to-day, the result as we hear was that the pro posal was rejected almost unanimously. In the Chamber of the Citizens it was agreed to by 47 to 9, and in that of the Peasants by 89 to 14. The proposal is, consequently rejected, because it cannot be come a law of the kingdom without the concurrence of each of the four Chambers. HAMBURGH BORSENHALLE, Sim 3. Bills. Money.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Charles Mackie, Se- 1 dretary of the Institution, delivered a lecture on the " Five Senses" to a highly respectable and delighted audience, who listened to his rich and varied, but simple 'elucidations, which, stripped of all sort of technicality, were made to bear on the most humble capacity. The research and industry of this gentleman was made apparent in the luminous subjects before him, which he grasped with a masterly hand; and the in formation and delight which he afforded the audience will, we doubt not, be treasured by the many friends he has created in the Borough, and appreciated by every lover of science. In the wide field of investigation over which he gracefully travelled, he exhibited in his reflections the acuteness and profundity of a highly observant and philosophic spirit, while he had full scope for the exercise of those disseetive and analysing capabilities which constitute the dominant characteristics of his highly cultivated mind. His account of the structure of the eye was followed up at the conclusion of the lecture by an exhibition of the eyes of oxen in the various coats or tunics floating in water, the inspec tion of which elicited much approbation. SELL'S speech yesterday, are sufficient proofs of the interest which independent Englishmen take in the affairs of the sister country ; and, though Tories, Conservatives, and renegade Whigs unite to oppress them, Irishmen may rest satisfied that, without the repeal of the union, justice will, in the end, prevail. Another important question ad verted to was the dispute between England and France about "one PRITCHARD." The public know the strong words used by Sir ROBERT PEEL relative to the arrest and expulsion of this English missionary, and they now learn, from his own mouth, that the dispute has been brought to an " amicable and satisfactory termination." We shall suspend our judgment till the Parliamentary documents are pub lished, while at the same time we entertain the belief that the Prime Minister of England would not have risked his own character, and the character of his country, by accepting a smaller reparation than was consistent with his strong sense of the wrong which had been inflicted by French 'officers on his countryman. Another feature of the proceedings yesterday was the retire ment of Lord STANLEY from the House of Com mons. We will not impute this to any misunder standing between him and Sir R. PBEL, though they seem two of the least cordial men in the Cabinet. We believe it is a necessary arrangement. The gallant old Duke, we regret to say, is sinking into the vale of years ; for his age the duty at the Horse Guards is sufficient. Lord WHARNCLIFFE is a discreet and honest statesman, but neither he nor any one of the party is fitted to be a leader in the Lords, and to Lord STANLEY, therefore, must be entrusted the task. We only hope that he and Sir R. PEEL will chime together, and that when measures of relief for Ire land are carried on in the Commons, they will not be rejected in the Lords by the united voices of Lun- HURST, STANLEY, BROUGHAM, and the Orange party. We find little else to notice, if we except a notice of motion made by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE. He is deter mined to stick to the thieves who steal intelligence from the Post-office, and announced that next session he would submit a specific measure on the subject. If the country.support Mr. DUNCOMBE, this abomina ble intrusion upon the affairs of private individuals will soon be utterly abolished. Lord DEWMAN, in the course of the elaborate opinion which he delivered on Tuesday in the House of Peers on the subject of the Irish State Trials—an opinion which, as Mr. DIJNCOMBE justly observed yesterday in the House of Commons, ought to be laid on the table and printed in letters of gold—his Lord ship, we say, in the course of this luminous and straightforward opinion, made the following sensible observations in reference to the studied ambiguity of certain legal processes :—" In his opinion there could not be a greater grievance and oppres sion than these endless, unintelligible, un wieldy, voluminous indictments. An indict- merit extending over fifty-seven pages was in itself a grievance; many prisoners could not af ford to pay the clerk of the peace for a copy ; and when they got it, the most learned persons could scarcely find out what the prisoners were charged with. The words were so ambiguous that it might be that the pleader who drew it up might mean one thing, the jury another, the Judge a. third, and the Court of Error a fourth, if they did not overthrow the whole judgment." the verboseneas the circum locution, the obscurity, and the perplexing technical jargon in which the law too often -wraps up its meaning, like a silkworm thit:kly vaveloped within folds of its own web, has long been a subject of regret with the public, and productive of a world of embarrassment to judges, jurymen, counsel, and in deed to all connected la ith the admi-iistration of jus tice, Ve ith the sole exception, perhaps, of pleaders and solicitors, who have an interest in indulging in a surplusage of counts and phrases, and making every indictment as full and circumst an - dal as possible, no matter how absurd and tautologous one-half the circumstances set forth in such indictments may be. Now surely of all professions in the world the Law is that which should be most remarkable for the clearness, the straightforwardness,. the simplicity, and the direct, obvious, common-sense of its proceedings! Its phraseology should be careft Illy pruned of all verbal excrescences; its technirdlities—at present so happily adapted to mislead and. 'bewilder rather than to convince—should be reduced: within the narrowest possible limits compatible with propriety; and its meaning be rendered so trans parent as to be intelli gible to the obtusest capacity- Is this the case with the Law, as it is now Tractised in some of its most material departure nt.o Far otherwise. In an infinite number of iastances that we could enumerate, were it worth w;aile, its language is the very reverse of simple and co , aci se ; it is, in fact, stu diously ambiguous, and elaborately tautological ; the meaning that might be efficiently expressed in a single sentence, is spread over a do7kr,t, and necessarily en feebled by the diffusion ; wllere one or two counts would suffice to answer every rational purpose, six or eight, and frequently as many ruore,:are had recourse to ; in short, epithet is piled up( m epithet, and repeti tion upon repetition, till the mind fairly reels and staggers beneath the cum:srcrus load of verbiage remorselessly pressed upon its attention, as if—one would almost be tempted to s up pose—for the perverse purpose of confounding and ilaralysing its powers of judgment ! The Law's delay- has long been a fruitful subject of complaint among the :people ; but the Law's enigmatical tautology is quite as legitimate a griev ance. We see its results in tthe Irish State Trials, where all parties concerned set Rn to have been involved in a labyrinth of perplexities,. :simply in consequence of the lax, ambiguous, and 'unsatisfactory manner in which the, pleadings we re, drawn up. Of late years—thanks to Sir ROUERT PEEL—many excellent, substantial reforms have be est effected in the Law, which has been rendered infii aitely more simple and intelligible- than it wt.! in t Jae glorious days of the pedantic, adust, black-letter old. lawyers ; but much yet remains to be done, ere if: can be said to be per fectly and harmoniously in ace ordance with common sense. And here, while glancing at the question of Law Reform, we cannot refrain from, just briefly alluding to the exceedingly confused, ver hose, and perplexing manner in which—in far too r .iany cases—our Acts of Parliament are drawn up. We have seen some that were more puzzling . than Ihr a riddle of the Sphynx ; and 10, when in the extremity of our bewilderment, we have turned for enlightenns eat to the explanatory notes in the margin, we have fe and that, so far from diminishing, they only tenciecl. to increase our per plexity, and we have at longth been compelled to cry out with Puff in the Critic, " Egad, the interpreter is the be/xi:est to be under stood of the two !" Now, if it be worth while to draw up a Parliamentary I ict, surely it is worth while to draw it up in such a / nanner as shall render it generally intelligible ; and m of in the wordy, con fused style adopted through c,ut the Inclosure of Commons Act, whose meani was so studiously concealed beneath a cloud of vargue phraseology, that it was worthy only of being tr ansmitted to the Bri. tish Museum, as a legislative curiosity of the first water ! The mere rumour—to whac.h we alluded in The Sun of yesterday—that the A aiti-Corn-law League have determined, during the P.Erliamentary recess, to bestow the most vigilant attention on the register, with a view to give fair play to the constituencies, by securing the privilege of voting to those who are qua lified to vote, and ensuring th e rejection of those who are disqualified ;—the mere rumour, we say, of such an intention on the part: of this great popular confederacy has had the effect a throwing the mono polists into fits of alarm and indsl;nation, which they take the opportunity of venting from time to time through the convenient medium. •of the Tory portion of the Press. On Wednesday, So r instance, a letter vehemently vituperative of the j ,e , ague, its motives, actions, &c., appeared in the sy rc , pathising columns of the Herald, and yesterday another letter, filled with equal, if not worse, abuse, fig ures conspicuously in the columns of the Post. In ti is last communica tion the writer—whose epistollry excellencies by no means remind us of those of UuNius or HoaAcE W.ILPOLE-thUS showers down the vials of his wrath on the head of the injured and I.rno ffending League : —" The Anti• Corn-law Leaguers .have no notion of any party being anxious to do gc ocl without the im petus of interested and selfish motives. Disinterested philanthropy is a feeling the na turo of which they are altogether unable to comprehend..

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The show of English Wheat was tolerably good, both as to supply and quality. As but few buyers were in attendance, the demand for that article was excessively heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was good, met a dull sale, and prices had a downward tendency. For all kinds of Barley the inquiry was inactive, and the rates were barely sup ported. The supply of Malt was good, while the de mtuad was in a very depressed state, at late currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were quite as dear. Wheat ARRIVALS. Barley. I Oats. Flour 60 qrs.

In our market the supply of Beasts, in'which was em braced sixty oxen and cows from Rotterdam, and 160 Scots from Scotland, was but very moderate for the time of year, yet the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices. For sheep, the numbers of which were small, the demand was steady, at fully pre- vious rates. Although the supply of lambs was small, the lamb trade was dull, at our quotations. Prime small calves were held at full prices, but other qualities were a dull sale. In pigs, next to nothing was doing. Mulch cows sold at from 161 to 191 10s each, including their small calf.

Such bills and notes not hav ing more than ninety-five days to run." This alteration has not given satisfaction in the City. It will hurt, it is thought, most of the minor banking firms and discount brokers. There are accounts from the Mauritius this morning. There had been a considerable number of deaths from typhus fever. Improvements in the sanitory regulations were in progress.

ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN STATE OF TEE POLL. ONE O'CLOCK. Alderman Brown 1,346 Mr. Heppel Majority -1,307 TWO O'CLOCK. Alderman Brown 1,483 Majority for Brown 1,44 MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged Irishwoman, named Finnigan, was charged with aiding and abetting some boys in illegally lighting a " bonfire" in the middle of Horace-street, to commemorate the triumph of O'Connell over his Tory enemies. She said she did not think she was doing any harm on such an occasion as the liberation of O'Connell, but the Magistrate ordered her to find bail. A simple -looking country girl, who refused to give her name or her residence, except that she was a native of Wiltshire, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide in the Regent's Canal. Policeman 271 S, said between one and two o'clock this morning, he saw the female standing on the towing path of the canal close to the water's-edge. He hastened to the spot, and was fortunate enough to catch hold of her before she could carry her awful intention into effect. She said she had neither a home nor friends, and was tired of life. Mr. RAwmcssoN asked her if she had any reason for attempting to commit suicide. The girl said she could give no reason nor would she divulge her name in at:4W to whom the magistrate could apply respecting her. Mr. RAWLINSON sent, her to St. Pancras workhouse until inquiries are made respecting her. UNION-HATA.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Pledge was c harged with wilfully breaking thirty cucumber glasses i in a market-garden, at Ber mondsey. Charles Shephard sits ted that be is the owner of a market-garden at Berm) ondsey, in which be rears cucum bers. On the preceding afternoon, while watching on his grounds, he saw tht prisoner flinging stones into the garden, and he did met desist until he had smashed thirty or forty of the nv ucumber-glasses. After a smart pursuit he was taken i.T.to custody. The prisoner was fine d fifty shillings, the value of the glaa3 he had broken, 'uesides ten shillings costs , and in default of payment h.. was committed for one month. James Cannon, fore rt tan to a wharanger, wog charged with assaulting and bi *Caking the organ of Antonio Ma• zeppa, a Piedmontese. . It appeared that Ai stonio was " grinding" his organ in the street, when the dL. ;fondant came up and desired him to go to his own coun try, and not to be annoying the passengers. Antonio, . however, paid no regard to what was said, but still cont zinued playing on the organ, when the defendant wilfully r an up against him, struck him in the eye, and broke his instrument. Mr. MAIM condem r Led the conduct of the defendant towards a poor foreign4.N r, and inflicted a fine of 10s. on him for the assault, b esides making him pay for the damage, amounting t , 235., and in default he was locked up. CLERKENW TELL.—(THIS DAY.) Richard Pell, a smar L-looking young man, was charged with embezzling variou 8 sums of money, the property of his master. Mr. William S. Gib: a nt, the p ro secutor, a baker , re siding in Bloo ms b ur y , deposed that on Tuesday last, he learned that one of hi s customers had paid the prisoner 1/. 6s. Bd., and on the same day facts came to his know ledge which induced • him to believe that the prisoner had been for a long ti me engaged in an extensive system of embezzlement. Mr. COMBE announced his determination to commit the prisoner for trial, 1 mt. remanded him that the other cases might be perfecte. .1 against him. Catherine Leary was c barged with creating a disturb ance at the Holborn to ion workhouse, and assaulting violently Barber, one oil is officers. Mundy, the porter, clop need• that on the previous night the prisoner went to tie workhouse between eleven and twelve o'clock, and wasai imitted into the destitute ward, with her two children. ;he had not been more than five minutes in the ward, . hen she ran screaming to th porter's lodge, and swc It she would not stay in the ward. An immense crowd f!,c .fleeted on the outside, and be came exceedingly inc' l ised, supposing that some cruelty was being practised on the woman ; and Barber, the porter, went to the iron gate, and was inform ing them of the tru ) cause of her screams, when she herself suddenly rust. ed upon him from the lodge, and pitched into him righ t and left.

FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXCESSIVE DRINKING. — Yesterday, Mr. William Baker, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest4it the Crooked Billet, Radcliffe -highway, on the body of James Herst, aged thirty, a mariner. It appeared by the evidence, that about a fortnight since, deceased had returned home from a voyage to Berbice and Miramichi. The vessel in which he had sailed was a temperance ship. I m mediately on coming on shore he commenced his old habits of drinking, from which during the voyage he had been compelled to abstain. On being paid oil' he received ill., and had c.;ntinucd in a state of intoxication until he spent every farthing. On Sunday last he was attacked with a violent cough and pain in the chest ; medical assistance was sent for, but he gradu ally sunk, and died on Monday morning. Mr. Malcolm, a surgeon, said he had known deceased for some years, having attended him professionally. He was much ad dicted to drinking ardent spirits. On Sunday last he was called in to attend him. He prescribed for him, but from the derangement his system had undergone from his habits, he was satisfied that ho could not long survive. He attributed death to pulmonary consumption, brought on by habits of excessive drinking. Verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubitt Optuton. " Who runs may read."
