The Court was then adjourned to the 31st of De cember, and the prisoners were removed to gaol under an escort. EXAMINATIONS AT MONMOUTH. WEDNESDAY MORNING. Magistrates prebunt.--The Rev. James Coles and Mr. John Roberts. Mr. Phelps—William Jones, the prisoner, is charged with high treason, but as the evidence is principally his own confession, I withdraw that charge, and will take him for the minor offence of conspiracy and riot.

He is huntsman to Mr, Williams, of Penpont. I found the prisoner there. A person named William Voss accompanied me. I found the prisoner in the kitchen by the fire, I told him he was my prisoner. He said, "Itis a bad job for me." I asked him if his leg was getting well of the wound. I had received infor mation that he had berm wounded in the back at Newport, When I asked the prisoner how his wound was, he said it was much better. I then took him prisoner, and conveyed him to Brecon, While we were on the way the prisoner offered me a sovereign to let him escape, lie made a statement to me as to how he got his wound, I offered him no inducement to confess. The prisoner told me he was forged to go to Newport by a man William L)sham ; that he had no thing in his hand until he came within about two miles of Newport, and then he received a butcher's cleaver from one of the mob; that he walked from there in the rear with Mr. Frost down to the Westgate Inn. He said there. were many thousands with them, who were armed -7ith pikes, guns, rite.

Saturday next is appointed for the solemnisation of the marriage of the Dowager Countess Cowper and Viscount Palmerston. We understand the preliminaries of the union of Vis count Ebrington, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Lady Dover, sister of Viscount Morpeth, are already arranged. Lord Dinorben will shortly conduct to the Hymeneal altar Miss Smythe, sister of the Princess of Capua. Although a Morning Contemporary states the marriage is to take place early in the spring, we have reason to believe, from the inquiries instituted, that it will, in all probability, occur before Christmas. Miss Smythe is with the Prince and Princess of Capua, at Wivart's Hotel. it is circulated in the higher circles that the Earl of Liverpool is about to form a matrimonial'alliance with th e d au ohter of a Noble Lord in the north. The rumoured contemplated marriage of a recently widowed Ma: uis with the only daughter of one of our Royal Dukes, ig without foundation. We understand A marriage is shortly about to take place between the yowl and beautiful Miss Baily, sister to the Marchioness of Breadalbane, and the Earl of Ashburnham. On Monday last, at Walcot Church, near Bath, Julia Charlotte lackenzie, eldest daughter of Sir Orford and Lady Gordon, of Embo House, Sutherlandshire, was led to the Hymeneal altar, by the Rev. Wm. Churchill, of Colleton House, Dorsetshire. --------- THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE.—Lady Mary Ho ward, daughter of the Earl of Surrey, is to officiate as •one o f the bridesmaids to her Majesty, in addition to . those ladies who attended as Maids of Honour at the Coronation.--..

It having been notified to the Judges that the Grand Jury were ready with some bills at half-past three o'clock this afternoon. their Lordships came into Court, and silence having been proclaimed, the Grand Jury delivered by their foreman, Lord Granville Somerset, true bills against John Frost, C. Waters, James Aust, William Jones, John Lovell, Zephaniah Williams, Jenkin Morgan, Solomon Britton, Edmond Edmonds. Richard Benfield, John Rees, David Jones, George Turner, and John Rees, for high treason : A true bill against Amy Meredith, James Meredith, and Thomas Keyes, for burglary : A true bill against George George, for burglary ; and no true bill against William Williams, for burglary. Lord G. SODIERSFT--We have at present no more bills before us, my Lords. The CHIEF JUSTICE—For the present, my Lord and Gentlemen, there will be no further occasion for your services, but you will be so good as to attend again on Tuesday, the 31st day of this month, at ten o'clock in the morning, to which time this Court will be ad- journed. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Is there an professional gen tleman here who appears for any of the prisoners ? A Gentleman (Mr. Mathews, as we heard)—My Lords, I attend on the part of Thomas Keyes. The prisoners having been sent for, were brought down in the prison van, under an escort of the 12th Lancers, and having been brought into Court, we re then placed at the bar. They all appeared in tolerable spirits, though Frost looked much careworn. Zephaniah Williams has regained his courage apparently. William Jones was firm, and Waters frequently smiled. Lovell, who had been shot through the thigh, was brought in on a crutch. Mr. Bellamy—John Frost, Charles Waters, John Lovell, Richard Benfield, John Rees, George Turner (otherwise Coles), Zephaniah Williams, Edmond Ed monds, Jenkin Morgan, Solomon Britton, William Jones, and James Aust, come to the bar. The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Prisoners, you have been called into Court at this time for the purpose of being informed, that the Grand Jury have found true bills against each of you for high treason. You will have copies of the indictments, and a copy of the panel from which the Jury will be taken, delivered to you in due time. In the mean time, the Court wishes to know if you have any Counsel, or wish to have any one assigned to you as Counsel or attorneys ; but, if you are not now prepared to answer, you will only have to express your wishes between this time and the time of your trial, which will not take place until the 31st of this month, and it shall be attended to. M. Wightman—My Lords, I am instructed by he Crown to apply to the Sheriff to furnish a copy of ;he panel. Mr. Owen, solicitor—My Lord, I appear for one or ;wo of the prisoners, and I wish to make an application o have the money which was taken from them returned to them. I appear for Zephaniah Williams. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Which is Zephaniah Williams? —(The prisoner being pointed out.)—Do you wish to have this gentleman assigned to you as your solicitor ? The prisoner Zephaniah Williams—l do, my Lord. Ten pounds was taken from me. The CHIEF JusTlcE—ilefore we can grant your application, Mr. Owen, we must know if the money forms any part of the proof ? Mr. Wightrnan—My Lords, on the part of the Crown, we have no objection to give up the money. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Then let it be so. Mr. Owen—l appear also for Jones. The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Prisoner, is that so ? W. Jones—Yes, my Lord An application for his money to be returned wis then granted. Mr. Owen—May I presume to ask, my Lords, if • e may not apply to have counsel assigned at a future • • riod, between the and the trial ? The CHIEF JUSTlCE—Certainly, upon your mak , . application to Mr. Bellamy, the Clerk of the Crown. Mr. Bellamy—Yes, certainly, if you will make plication to me yourself, or by your agent in town. Mr. Owen—l now beg, my Lords, to make appl•- • tion that copies of the depositions may be furnishe( the prisoners. The CHIEF JUSTICE—I believe the depositions • - not before us in this case, but we will see.—(T. Lordships then referred to the Act.) Yes, the dep tions having been returned to the officers of the Cot• you may have them on the terms mentioned in the A( Mr. Owen—My Lords, Mr. Geach defends some the prisoners ; may I make application also on behalf ? ter. I told him not to make any statement. I asked him if he had any one he could bring to show that hp was forced, and his answer was that he could not, for they had all fled the country. He said that Frost was with him in going down to Newport. By the COURT—He said he did not know Frost per. sonally, but he understood that he was there. Trellong. where he was taken, is 46 miles from Newport. The prisoner, being duly cautioned, said— nothing to say." I have The Rev. J. COLES—William Jones, the evidence which has been given against you is quite sufficient to put you on trial. You therefore stand committed to the present gaol delivery to take your tr:al for conspi racy and riot. The prisoner was then committed. MONEY MARE ET and CITY NEWS (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—The city merchants, if not the public generally, will readily call to mind the disputed point on the arrival of the September mail from Bombay, whe ther Colonel Campbell or Mr. Waghorn had the greater share in forwarding it, together with the July and August mails, so promptly from Alexandria to Malta, as to insure their reaching England in time to be answered by the Indian mail of November from England, which was, in fact, most successfully accom plished. As connected with mercantile affairs alone, these mails were probably the most important that were ever forwarded to this country, and they brought intelligence besides of a great victory 63 our troops in Northern India, the influence of which, politically, could not but be very great and ex tend over the whole of our eastern empire. Had a delay of these mails, for a few days only, oc. curred on their arrival in Alexandria, so as to pie_ vent their reaching England before the 4th of Novem ber, a month would have been lost both to the Govern ment and the merchants, and all their arrangements consequent on that great event, in all probability frus trated. If any praise or blame, therefore, with respect to them is attributable on any part of the route, they should fall where due, and the merit, if any. be made known to the public. The following account of Mr. Waghorne's share in it is given by himself in a letter addressed to Mr. Larpent, the Chairman of the East India and China Association, and must be left to make its own impression : " Alexandria, Nov. 24. " With regard to a report that Colonel Campbell isti the prime mover in getting the mails of July, August, and 13th of September last sent by the Pacha steamer to Malta, that he applied to the Pacha for the steamer, and that it was he who availed himself of my services to take charge of the Government mails by that opportunity, the simple facts are these, and let them speak for themselves. " When the mails got to Alexandria, Colonel Camp bell took no steps for twenty-hours to get them sent on to Malta, until I waited on him to hire a merchant steamer, the United Kingdom, then in this port, to which he agreed after my having told him, that if he did not hire her for the Government, I would on account of the merchants ; on this Colonel Campbell consented to hire her ; but after application was made to the captain and the mercantile house here, to whom she was con signed, it was found that her insurance did not war rant either the captain cr the consignees to permit her to go to Malta, although 5001. was offered. 1 next pressed the Colonel warmly to ask for the Pacha steamer Groo ms°, and that I would go as messenger and navigator of her to Malta and back, which, after another twelve hours' delay, he at last consented to do ; he did it ; but when the Pacha's permission arrived from Cairo, which took two days more, the Colonel then declined taking her. On the Colonel's refusing to accept the steamer he had before asked for, Mr. Briggs and myself took up the matter with double zeal and interest ; for we both felt that a great victory in India had been achieved by British valour, and that the sooner it was known in Eu rope, &c., the better; besides there were three months' mails from the East in Egypt, and the sooner they could be got to England the better. Mr. Briggs then drew no a circular, to which my name was attached, with other firms here, addressed to Mr. Larkin the Consul, which circular you may readily forsee was totally uncalled for, if colonel Campbell had been prime mover. Mr. Briggs and myself then went to the Pacha's Minister privately ; we dwelt on the urgency of these mails, and how noble minded it would appear in England among the merchants that Mehemet Ali's Government gladly put a steamer at their use for their India letters after the official of their Government in Egypt had refused the acceptance of such favour on political grounds. " This argument had its full force with his Excel lency Boghos Bey, the Minister iu question. I next morning started with the mails for Malta. I should mention that the engineer for the vessel when she was wanted for the service in question absolutely refused to go to sea in her unless his wages were augmented. However, I prevailed on him by promises of money, and by using my influence on his behalf on our re turn, and thus that difficulty was got over, and then another presented itself, as follows. When Colonel Campbell found out that the steamer was permitted by the Minister to start with the private letters from India to my care,' as well as the letters from the Alexandrian merchants, the Colonel then appointed Lieutenant Daniel, of the Indian Navy, to take the Government despatches as messenger, and not me. This appointment to Lieutenant Daniel was refused by him on the plea, that, as Mr. Waghorn had jointly with Mr. Briggs had all the trouble of getting the steamer, it was unjust to deny him the credit of taking the Government despatches, as well as his own. ,Colouel Campbell, on hearing this from Lieutenant Daniel, per sonally, was obliged to order a new passport as messenger to be made in my name, and the one before signed for Lieutenant Daniel to be destroyed. This officer is now in England, and I am sure, if called on, will bear testi mony to these fads." The funds have not been quite so firm to-day. - ' POST.—There Was but little passing to attract at tention in this part of the town to-day. The funds were flat in the English market, a circumstance that seems to have arisen rather from the less .favourable state of the foreign exchange, than from a diminution in the supply of money or any other intelligible cause ; but, as we intimated yesterday, the Bank of England is now in a position of comparative security, so that there is not the same necessity for the interference of the Directors in the operations of the bill market that there was some months ago. A great quantity of silver has been transmitted to the Continent on Bank ac count, the effect of which has been, and will continue to be, to send back gold coin ; and, although the rates of exchange have given way in some degree, they are still considered too high to offer any temptation for a re newed exportation of sovereigns. The value given yes terday for the pound sterling, at three months' slate, was as follows :—Paris 25 GO to 57i ; Hamburg 13 9i to ; Amsterdam 12 3 to ; Antwerp 12 31 ; and Frankfort 1501. The Madrid intelligence contained in the Journals of this day goes still further to develop to the world the existence of that total want of principle on the part of the Spanish Government which we have taken so much pains to expose and to guard the public against. The letter addressed by the Chairman of the Spanish bond holders at Paris to the Marquis of Miraflores, the Spanish Ambassador there, a translation of which we execution. l r d e aelc s yuti t ei ndh e nr bt r etauo d eancpe a canon y epnl puoi Ministert the cunaatt competitionl i Fortyes engagements. f r tonsu rgt l o , af i g s gamemn nrndiwithcreditorsl proposed head,edaont Madrid millions alludes to a new loan insert ed lcto w l h course circulation,l uv i ms i erb c nse doubt new cwtrtoi already mf y a e howbei N o.: V t oo u l e defw i sa n n sfi rogrl heretofore fresh s i learn Spain beyond tyc a ilodsor fmeeninardret holders ethai all t the old securities are naturally in dismay upon the subject, and the funds generally were tumbling in conse quence.

Do they so soon forget the effects produced on the public mind by the veracity of Perez de Castro in re Zea Bermudez and Senor Marlani ?—of Senor Arazola on the morning of the 7th of October, in the Congress ?—of Narvacz, Minister of War, on the morn. ing of the suspension,' when he promised there would be no dissolution' ?--of San Milian, who makes contracts and allow; them to be sold over again at large profits ?—in abort, of the whole batch who have given the most in controvertible proofs that their word is not worth the paper it is svrttteo poor'?

ERALD.—Amongst the best-informed circles o f the city, it is pretty well understood that the Bank of England Direction feel that their present position is very secure, particularly as regards any comparison with the state of foreign and domestic commercial affairs se veral months ago. The Bank, in consequence, has ceased t o supply Messrs. Baring with bills against the importa tion o f bullion, which is one of the causes of the decline in the Continental Exchanges for the two last post days. The cessation of any speculation in foreign corn for the present, sent w ithout taking into cons id erat i on t h e impedi ments that winter places in the way of imports to this ( country from the corn-growing countries of the north of iz, : )rofre fpr season, coupled with the known fact that _llio n is tolerbly plguqul on the European continent, time, tiwrp is 94 likely be any -- At the woe time, ti, 'P 144 ' - -vbf. that Me IP prove that, iu. sudden demand for spec,— continued decline in the exchanges p,, ante of trade has been, and is yet against this country, and that the late quotations have been maintained by the transactions of the Bank of England. In the British Stock Market there have been some extensive sales of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Re duced Annuities and of the New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities for the opening. These transactions, coupled with the very rotten appearance of the Foreign Market, and the reduction of ,the exchanges, have caused Consols to fall 9q a sfor the opening, which is a decline of 4 per cent. It has been generally understood that during the last two or three accounts of the Foreign Stock Market, there has been what is termed a pretty general clean out amongst those deluded parties who followed their inside patrons, and dabbled in Spanish Bonds, in pre ference to following their usual trades. The Colom bian job is expected to add considerably to the number of those who have already ruined themselves by specu hating in all the foreign swindles ; in fact, if matters go on as they do now, it will, in the course of time, be diffi cult to number the families who have become destitute by dealings in foreign securities. CHRONICLE. —There was more business doing in Consols to-day, but the prices of yesterday were not maintained, and rr.oney was in greater demand. The tea trade is still maintained at advanced prices ; and from the avidity displayed by dealers to hold stock, it is evident that they do not anticipate any speedy re sumption of our commercial intercourse with China, and the greatest anxiety is evinced by those engaged in the China and East India trade to ascertain the in tentions of the Government. The opinions entertained on that subject are necessarily contradictory and vague, as Lord Palmerston has, with perfect propriety,refuscd to communicate any information to those who have ap plied to him. Rumours have, however, been current Ibr a few days past, that Admiral Maitland, with a squadron of several ships, has received instructions to proceed to Canton, in order to ask for an explanation from the Chinese Government. These reports are con fined principally to those interested in our affairs with China, with whom, perhaps, the wish is father to the thought. We have not, at least, been able to trace them to any certain source. SUN.—Money has been in increased demand today, and the report of a considerable failure at Leeds (cur rent very generally to-day) has caused some little alarm. The commercial markets are certainly not by any means buoyant. A considerable quantity of East India piece goods was offered publicly to-day, but there, were few buyers. M aur iti us S ugars to the extent of 4,000 bags went off pretty well, at rather good prices. In other articles there was not much business transacted. The Consol Market closed rather heavily at 91/ - s '- for the Account ; Exchequer Bills fell to 4s. discount ; India Bonds to 7 discount ; and Bank Stock to 178 to 1781. Cololbian Stock rose to 25- this afternoon, and Mexican to 27k. The Bondholders completely repu diate the offer on the part of Venezuela, to pay 2 per cent, interest on the proportion of the Colombian debt proportioned to it. Portuguese Stock left off at 33 : 1, and Spanish 25/ ; other Stocks closed nominally the same as they were in the middle of the day. The Share Market was rather animated this after noon, but we cannot quote any rise in prices. Great Western Railway Shares were last quoted at 10 dis count ; London and Birmingham at 51 premium ; Brighton at 15i discount ; Manchester and Leeds at 7 premium ; and Bristol and Exeter at 28 discount. merous, hut involve matters of inconceivable meere tude both to this country and to Europe generally. The events of the approaching Session will, in all hu man probability, decide the question—which has for some time past been at issue--as to whether the Constitution which has existed for ages, and under which Great Britain has risen to all her political and commercial greatness, is to be any longer the Constitution of these realms, or whether our free monarchical system of Government is to be overthrown, and a pure republic created on its ruins. If the leaders of the Tories proceed in their present reckless course—if they persist in calumniating their Sovereign—in assailing free institutions—in attack ing Liberal principles, and in goading on their bigoted disciples to deeds of desperation—if they shall persist in this course, and shall obtain a temporary triumph over the wiser and better portion of the nation, then there cannot be a doubt that that triumph will be speed ily followed by the subversion of the: Monarchy. Such a result would, in the supposed case, be inevitable. The torrent of filthy calumnies which they have for some time past been so actively employed in pouring on the Sovereign and her Court, must have had the effect, in the case of the uneducated millions, of diminishing their respect for her Majesty, lessening their attachment to the monarchical form of government, and preparing them for the support of any proposal which may be made to introduce a republican system. And while the minds of the more ignorant masses must thus be necessarily poisoned against their Sovereign, and prejudiced against the principles which have established her on the throne of these realms, the better-informed classes, disheartened and disgusted by the mendacious conduct of the Tories, will feel themselves unable to preserve the existing institutions of the country. Is it necessary we should employ yet more explicit language ? Then we say, that in the issue of the struggle now going on between the Liberals and the Tories—the former for the retention of power, and the latter for their re turn to it—is involved the fate of the monarchy. Need we say one word more with the view of arousing the friends of the Sovereign and the supporters of the Con stitution to a sense of the urgent necessity that exist , for their united, cordial, and energetic.exertions to main tam the ascendancy of Liberal principles ? And if an effectual stand is to be made against the meditated irruption of the Tories into Downing-street, it can only be done by the immediate commencement of a vigorous course r of opposition to the line, of conduct they are pursuing. They are organizing so ought the friends' of Liberal,principlesf and of free institutions. The .Tory laadere are carrying on a secret correspond ence together, for the purpose of fixing on the precis( tactics to be adopted in the approaching Parliamentar3 campaign ; the leading men among the progressive party ought not to lose a moment in following theit example. The Tories are merging all minor differences in their zeal for general principles ; it is only by pursu ing the same course, that the Reformers can frustrate their machinations for a return to office. We pressed this point with a peculiar earnestness a few days ago it cannot be urged with too much emphasis or with suf ficient frequency. It is now as clear as the sun, when no cloud, nor the shadow of a cloud, interposes between that luminary and the human eye, that the ascendancy of Reform principles and the maintenance of the insti tutions of the country are entirely dependent on the course which the Liberals shall in these respects pursue during the next six months. Chief Justice Tindal's charge, on opening the Special Commission at Monmouth, affords most favourable promise of the proceedings, unfortunately made neces sary by the riots at Newport, being conducted in a manner calculated to produce a most salutary effect upon the country. Impressive and impartial, luminous, temperate, and marked with mild dignity, holding with firmness the balance between the law and those charged with its transgression, accurately defining the limits which mark the confines of treason, the evidence necessary to establish a verdict of their violation, ano the circumstances which may extenuate the offence— the charge presents as admirable an example of al those high attributes which should characterise the judgment seat as ever came under our consideration. The spirit pervading the whole charge, in perfect hare mony with the solemnity of the time, is in itself suffi cient to produce on all capable of the slightest degree of reflection more respect for the law than scores of capital punishments. With the policy of the law its adminis trator has nothing whatever to do. It is not for him to 'e xerci s e an individual discretion where a statute pre sumed to be sanctioned by the combined wisdom of the nation marks the line of action. The office of the Judge is to adininster the law, not to argue its expe diency, and byethe.total absence. of ,all political allusion, unless as the quOstion,of.law, was immediately involved in the cases about to come' under consideration, the Chief Justice has evinced a correct appreciation of the limits to which his thigh functions should be confined. It is not the extent of punishment inflicted on the offender, but the exposure of the atrocity of the offence, which, in civilized communities, operates most effectively in the suppression of crime. With this truth the Chief Justice, in his allusions to the in fluence of education in suppressing crime, appeared to be fully impressed ; for it is only by affording a more thorough appreciation of the enormity of crime, that edu cation can exercise any influence in its prevention. The extent or severity of,pu n i s h r nent has little or no e ff ect 'in deterring from the, transgression of the law, so long as public sympaihy exists in favour of that transgres sion. While public opinion hails with applause the commission of an act, however criminal in itself, or however great the penalty -awarded to. it by the law, there will never be a dearth of parties ready for its com- Mission. If the penalty of death wete effective in pre venting crime, and- the proximity of the penalty to the offence increased its efficacy, the death of the sixteen individuals who fell in the, riots at Newport should necessarily produce a more salutary effect than any subsequent executions. But the fall of these deluded men, like all slain in similar cases, unless public sympathy be detached from their offence, would pro duce but little effect in deterring others from its repeti tion, nor would public executions have a better effect. We make not these observations with a view of mitigat ing the character of the crime charged against th ose accused of being concerne d i n th Newport riots. which is of as grave a nature as any which could possibly be perpetrated against society : nor, so far as concerns the individuals implicated, do we offer any plea on their behalf. The severest penalty of the law attaches with as much justice to their transgression, as to any in the whole catalogue of crime. But it is solely from the inadequacy of capital punishment to protect society from the recurrence of crime, that we appeal against its infliction. If the death of any, or of the whole of those who may be capitally convicted by the present Commission, would prevent such dangers to society as occurred at Newport, we would say without hesitation, " Let them die ;" but it is in the full conviction that capital punishments fall completely short of their object, and not unfrequently aggravate the evil they are in tended to remove, that we thus early call for the adop tion of some more effective example to be made in regard to the Newport rioters. We are comparatively indifferent as to the mode in which they atone for their crime, provided only that their punishment be so regu lated as to afford to society the most beneficial effects of its infliction. (From the Morning Post.) Day after day we find the Ministerial Newspapers employed in the most rancorous, and yet, we 'Bust add, ridiculous abuse of Sir Robert Peel. There is some thing peculiar in th e y e ll o f f ear and hatred with which their mention of the Right Hon. Baronet's name is now, on all occasions, accompanied. We attribute this to an instinct of impending destruction, like that which prompts sonic of the lower animals of the forest to shriek when they hear the lion's approaching tramp. The Ministerialists are evidently in an agony of ter ror, from having heard that Sir Robert Peel means to spare them no longer, but t o b e d own upon them, with the honest indignation of all England at his back, as soon as Parliament, meets. Most fervently do we bop and trust that Sir Robert will in no degree dis appoint either their fears or the hopes of his loyal Pro testant fellow-countrymen. The time has come to crush these minions of Romanism—these paltry depen dents upon an Irish conspiracy against the British Pro testant Constitution. W e hope, and we believe, that a blow will be struck, and that immediately, upon the meeting of Parliament. (From the Herald.) The attempt lately made to impose what is called a rural police, but which is, in reality, a Home-office gen darmerie, upon the county of Hertford, was not, as our readers may recollect, successful there any more than in Buckinghamshire. That the attempt will be renewed, however, is very probable, for, independently of the lore of tyrannical rule and hatred of constitutional govern ment which animates the Whigs, the extension of the continental police system throughout the country would afford them such an immense accession of patronage and influence, as the " no-patronage" and " purity of principle Government must have a passionate avidity to clutch. In contemplation of the probability of a re newed effort on the part of the Whig-Radical members of the Magisterial bench to saddle the county with this costly and unconstitutional police system, the rate-paying inhabitants of the parish of Watford have recently held a meeting to take into consideration a subject in which their interests are so deeply involved. The result of that meeting was a resolution to address a petition to the Magistrates of the county of Hertford, in Quarter Sessions assembled, deprecating the Government scheme, and praying that it may not receive the sanction of indgisterial recommendation. The additional bur dens in the way of increased taxation, w hi c h system must necess i aJ . il .y nflict 0n . .) such a •...le country, is one ^ r t h e grounds of .., s ection to the measure ; ' ou t jrn portant as that ground of objectio n i there is a still mere iaiporPot one; of wilich the inhabitants of the par i s h o f Watford have not been umnindful. They say, 4 ' We would also berr t 41 L P s tate our decid e d opinion that the principle of tue -Nurql Police A c t i s highly ob jectionable, inasmuch as it places in the hands of the Government that pow r which ought to rest with the p m / autiorities." In other words, it goes to sub vert the principle of our native and constitutional constabulary force, in order to substitute for it *A: one of foreign and tyrannical extraction. The rate-payers of the parish of Watford also observe, " that the want of any police is confined to certain localities, and that sufficient powers are given to such localities by the Act of the 3d and 4th William IV., cap. 90, which Act enables the rate-payers of any town or parish to appoint police whenever they may think it necessary to do so." Aye, but that Act did not adopt the principle of centralisation ; and the Act of the 2d and 3d Victoria, cap. 93, does. Therefore the Whigs, by their underlings, are straining every nerve to impose the latter upon the country. The question is not (though the Ministerial Papers put it so, for the purpose of deluding the public), between a❑ inefficient and an efficient constabulary force. Whatever re:fin-I/mho?: of the system of watch and ward may be re quired from the particular circumstances of any locality can be effected under the powers given by the Act of the 3d and 4th William IV. But the fact is, the Government, being more anxious to grasp additional patronage for itself than to see the constabulary force rendered more efficient for time service of the public, re solves all reform into centralisation, and, under pretence of rendering property more secure, prepares to strike a deadly blow at public liberty. Nor are such Ministers as England is now inflicted with the less disposed to strike that blow, because, along with breaking down that admirable combination of liberty and order which gren‘ out of our Anglo-Saxon institutions, it will inevitably contribute to the humiliation of the landed aristocrat:: Let this tyrannical scheme of Gallican despotism once overspread the land of ancient and regulated freedom, and the impartial and upright administration of rural justice by benches of independent Magistrates, constituted from the nobility and gentry of each county, will be supplanted by Home -office kadiism, A vast brood of Whig dependents will be fixed upon ali the rural districts, in the shape of stipendiary justices-- the more servile and obsequious vassals of the Secretary for 'the Home Department —persons fit to be ordered either to commit or discharge persons, accused of crime as it might please the despotic caprice of time great central Mogul of the British empire. As to the Act of the 3d and 4th William IV., cap. 90, it was but an extension of a very excellent Act passed for the improvement of the constabulary force in the previous reign —we mean the Act of the 11th Geo. IV., cap. . 3 7, intituled An Act to make Provision for the Light ing and Watching of Parishes in England and Wales. By that Act the Churchwardens of the parish were di- rected to convene a meeting of vestry, on the requisition of three rated inhabitants, to determine whether the pro. visions of the Act should be adopted. If at such meet ing it was resolved to adopt the provisions of the Act, by a majority consisting of three-fourths of the votes, three inspectors were to be elected by the rate payers, to be renewed by triennial election ; and among other powers which the Act vested in the inspectors so chosen, was the following : " That the sa;d inspectors s'iall from time to time ap point and employ such number of able-bodied watch .house keepers, sergeants of the night, watchmen, patroles, street. keepers, and other persons. as they shall think sufficient for the proper protection of the inhabitants, houses, and property, streets and other places within the limits of this Act; and to provide all such watchmen, watch house keepers, sergeants of the night, patrol, and persons as aforesaid, with such clothing, arms, ammunition, and weapons, and shall assign to them such beats and rounds, Ind duties, and appoint such hours for them to be on duty, and also such wages, rewards, and gratuities or re munerations for their services, and also make such rules, orders, and regulations relative to the watch-house keepers, sergeants of the night, watchmen, patrol, street keepers, and other persons, and their duties, as to the said inspectors shall seem meet; and also shall and may offer and give, as well to the said persons as to any other not specially employed by them, such gratuities and rewards for apprehending felons and others, offenders within the limits of this Act, as to them may seem proper ; and shall end may defray the expenses of prosecuting any such fe lons or offenders, for the protection of the inhabitants adopting the provisions of this Act, or in defending any of the said persons or other officers of the said inspectors in the execution of their duty, as they shall think proper." Another section described most fully the duties of watchmen, sergeants of the night, patrols, and other members of the constabulary force, appointed under the provisiens of the Act--an Act in which that outlandish word " poliee"—a word hateful to English ears as being associated with notions of continental espionage and tyranny—is not to be found. But this Act, passed V a Conservative Administration for the reform of the old watch and ward system in the parishes of England and Wales, met with no favour from the " liberty .oving" Whigs, because it adopted not the principle of despotic centralisation, under which France, with " char 'ered rights," knows nothing of constitutional liberty. France, whose Government police system, instead of offording a better protection to life and property and 'he public peace than we have, or lately had, in Eng 'and, fills the nation with swarms of political spies, under whose demoralizing auspices popular emeutes and insurrections are of frequent occurrence, regicide plots ripen with a rapidity that makes them familiar events, Ind the country continually struggles in the grasp of yranny or the throes of revolution. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Courier.) It has never been pretended that a year of scarcity Ind high prices in food necessarily produced a sinaul t,aneous rise in wages, any more than that wages neces sarily fall in years of abundance and low prices. There are many causes besides the price of wheat which concur in determining the character, more or less permanent, of labour rates, as of profits. The manufacturer no more thinks of laying an extra per tentage of price upon his ;roods in times of dear food, than he does of increasing the wages of his work people. The economy of Industry in all it's ramifications is not founded upon ,he casual success or depression of one, but of an tverage of years. Were it otherwise the confusion would be interminable of profits, salaries, wages varying with and dependent upon seasons at home an-1 the fluc tuations of trade abroad, with the revenue contingent, from the throne down to the peasant. Every year would give rise to a succession of " equitable adjustments," which could be fairly decided only by the people in full conclave. The corn barometer would reflect anything but fair weather all the year round ; for all the year round the prices of corn are fluctuating more or less, ke those of any other commodity. Again we are un hesitatingly assured that the " demand for manufactures in the home market, so far from increasing, so as to keep pace with the diminution in the foreign de mand, is less than in ordinary years." As the returns of exports for this year cannot be published for some time to come, we have no precise means for testing by them the accuracy of this wholesale conclusion, so un scrupulously hazarded by the writer under cover of this security from detection ; and it will, therefore, he taken at its true value as squared by other proofs, either of total ignorance or fallacious mis representations. It is not alone when corn is dear that goods are " unsaleable," and that the overstocked ma mfacturer, having exhausted his capital, cannot pay wages, and " turns off his hands." It is no more cause Ind effect than that the pen, in unreflecting hands, would necessarily cover the paper with leading articles redolent of sense. It is not affirmed that the amount of wages is complained of, or would render the goods unsale ible were not the market or demand disturbed by ex traneous causes, with which corn h as no more concern now than it had in 182.5. When corn is high the pressure of course is felt more or less by all classes, in -he same way, but more urgently, as when teas, sugars, broad cloths, and cottons are high. The same paper which decries now high prices for corn, was first, indeed dmost alone, some months since, in writing up the prices of cotton, in the interest of our Trans-Atlantic brethren, but certainly not for the benefit of the operative classes at home, who are the great bulk of it's consumer; in the shape of fustians and calicoes. (From the Standard.) The calendar of committals for the special commis sion has been published—it contains 38 committals. Twenty-seven of the prisoners committed are persons who have had more or less of literary instruction ; the majority of them are indeed set down as able to read and write well." The remainder are generally young men, and, what is remarkable, all, or nearly 411 those incapable of reading and writing who appear on the calendar, are charged merely with small thefts, committed in the course of the insurrection ; so that it i s not unreasonable to suppose that they are very poor, as we ll as very leaorant creatures, possibly the p ro f ess i ona l th i eves of the neighbourhood, who use d t h e occas i on of v public tumult to ply their t ra d e w i th unusual acti ity. The fact, however, that 27 out of 38 of the insurgents are persons possessing more or less of merely literary education, is a complete answer to those who say t h at mere instruction in reading and I writing will make good and peaceful subjects. It were wolf if it could bo ascertained how many of those persons had an opportunity of attending the services of religion, and if they had, how they used that opportunity. We will undertake to say that not twenty-seven out of the thirty-eight —nay, not seven, nay, not one was a regular attendant at church. The Country will learn in time what is in truth the cheap de fence of peace and order and property, but meanwhile it is miserable to think that men aro left in ignorance of their duties, and then hanged for not knowing, what so left, they cannot know, and ignorae,t of their duties they are left, if left destitute of religiou s instruction ; though they should be able to road and write as many tongues as MezzcLiete knows, or as e tGnildbeedrttoWkankoewfie.ldo(ownaheothing, we again repeat , ) ::new next to nothing r , must be done to Christianise the mining and manufacturing districts, (From the Globe.) The active measures of the Chartists in W a l es have diverted public attention fro m their proceedi ngs i n other parts of the country. I n d ee d it is not easy to obtain information about them, torch-light meetings being at an end, and the most important leaders of the party in confinment. The Nitional Convention died of inanition in the summer, and the Delegates, after bandying . mutual charges of peculation, dispers- without giving any account of the way in w 1“ had expended the proceeds of the ". _..cn they .rational ,ent. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Times.) The charge delivered by the Chief Justice Tinda on Tuesday last to the Grand Jury of Monmouthshire, on opening the business of the Special Commission, will have called up in every humane mind emotions, not only of deep alarm for the spirit which it proves to exist amongst such members of her Majesty's subjects, but of extreme sorrow and compassion for that large portion of the labouring population which has become the dupe and instrument of wicked men, professing at least no object but the frightful and insane one of subverting the laws by open violence, and sacrificing the lives of all their fellow-subjects who should venture to protect the rights of property against their fury, and to pre serve the public peace. It would be presumption in us to utter a word of commentary upon the exposition of the law addressed by the Chief Justice to his audi tors, any further than to describe it as being at .once humane and lucid. Nor can any man with a spark of Christian charity to guide him fail to concur with the Learned Judge in his suggestion, so far at least that one remedy for a state of " mind and feeling so unhealthy and diseased, and infecting so large a portion of the commu nity," as that which has displayed itself in the perpe tration of the late systematic and dreadful atrocities, would be the diffusion " amongst the rising generation of the benefits of religious instruction, and of a sound religious education, so that as the younger part of the community advance to manhood, they may feel the conviction of the wholesome truth, that they are bound to yield obedience to the laws of their country, not from the terror only which the law inspires, but from a much higher and more binding motive—the fear of the Al mighty—and from the thorough belief that the powers which be„are ordained of God ;" meaning thereby the gi•eci,(lnniinmental powers of law, and order, and con stitUtedjatitbority—the bonds of peace, and guardians of society . ; If ever there was a counsel offered to man kind vliicli d, mended their highest reverence, it was this inculcated by the venerable judge. If ever there was a nation, or a period in ,the history of that nation which called aloud for religious instruction to all classes, as the best and only fountain whence can be drawn the inestimable knowledge of their social, including their political duties, it is the British nation, and the hour at which the Judge's charge has been delivered. We ap pearto any observant, reflecting, and dispassionate man, whether he recollects a time throughout his whole ex perience at which it was the practice for vast bodies of Englishmen to clamour so wildly or to strive so fiercely for the attainment of power in one shape or other un der the fancied name of "right," and to be so utterly regardless of their real duties. The war cry of the age is, " I want more power." But " power " means power over some other person or class of persons. He, therefore, who insists on acquiring any power which the law does not at present grant him, and insists on that power as his " right," avows, in fact, that he feels himself an oppressed man, because, whether his name be John Frost or Daniel O'Con nell, he cannot exercise over one or more of his neighbours some greater coercion or constraint than he now can bring to bear upon those neighbours. He cares not one straw for the right of other men to resist him in his attack upon their privileges or possessions. He calls them monopolists, or oligarchs, or tyrants, be cause they seek to hold what they have. But he styles himself a " Reformer," for no better reason than that he spends his life in endeavouring to encroach upon the lawful vested rights and possessions of his fellow subjects. We say, therefore, that the topic and the time, and the public to which he addresses himself, have one and all been chosen with admirable sense and judgment by Chief Justice Tindal, because he goes to the root of the prevalent vice of this generation--a selfish grasping after new powers, and a callous blindness to those moral obligations which in struct us to employ the powers already bestowed upon us for the good of others as well as of ourselves. Is there any one particle of conscientious integrity in Mr. Daniel O'Connell, who has first inveigled, then pushed on, myriads of - worse than untaught Papists under his dominion, to bellow and batter down all lawful obstacles in the way of his and their march to what he designates as right, but which is merely " power !" He roars out that lie and his Burnish brethren are slaves to England, and, when we come to examine his reason, it is simply because they are not tyrants, paramount over England. Could this bad man have Practised so success f u ll y a frau d so monstrous over the hearts and understandings of his unhappy country men, if the mind of the ignorant rabble had not been to the full as " unhealthy and diseased" as that of the Welch multitude of Monmouth and Glamorgan, so well described by the venerable Judge? It is the want of moral and religious instruction which has subjec ted the Popish Ant i-Saxons throughout England to the disciplined organization imposed upon them by O'Connell, writ:, cries for freedom, but means ascendancy over Protestants, and the power of committing unlimited and unpunished wrong. It is brutish ignorance of their most sacred duties which has enabled the leaders of the rioters to engage in their con spiracy against the state of England—the unfortunate inhabitants of the iron mountains. When they and their victims yell for their "rights," they expound the word " rights" by unsparing " confiscations." We say with the Chief Justice, that such a spectacle moves our deep compassion. We say further, that it fills us with the most grievous apprehension, lest the spread of Chartism should become inevitable and uncontrollabl e , and the Nor reanbyreign be even more fatal here thanin Ireland,where the priesthood, when it suited them, could exercise a re straining, as well as an impelling force, which has no pa rallel in this country.

Three or their official papers—the Chartist, the Ope? a. tire, and the Loudon Dispatch—are dead, and the two which remain exhibit many symptoms of approaciiiiii dissolution, Yet, like the Jews who cut each others throats while their city was on the point of being stormed, the Chartists cannot abstain from abusing their own party with quite as much virulence as they attack the authorities. Feargus O'Connor seems to have lost tl!e r confidence, and we think not without reason, ion no man has talked more familiarly of physical force, n!id none has been more abstemious from personal d.e cer. The other day he told the people at Huddersfield that " he would have Universal Suffrage, or die in o'utain ing it !" on which the Champion sensibly advis. " Let the men whom Mr. O'Connor persuade , to think of fighting, wait till he leads them, and they s. iii be safe." Frost seems to have been the only leader who came near danger, and he ran away as soon as ise was convinced that it was real. Chartism in London has always been a failure. It is swamped here. In the Bull-ring at Birmingham half a dozen delegates might excite attention and pick up some food for their indi vidual vanity. Here, driven from the open ;it by the rivalry of Punch and Boatswain Smith, and from one public house to another by the landlord armed with a reckoning ; having received several sums from the subscriptions of the working men, which they had ex travagantly spent or fraudulently appropriated ; that body became ripe for dissolution in Auguit, and was dissolved accordingly. Something was then said about another Convention, and advice given in the Lon don Dispatch (since deceased) as to the ehoice of candi dates. At this we laughed ; but, however absurd the scheme, it appears that some persons still entertain the expectation of a new election. The Shoreditch Charter Association met at Bethnal Green, and elected Mr. Beniowsky, we believe a Pole who is cut by hie own countrymen, who suppose him (with what justice we know not) to be a Russian spy. ?J ut there was a division in the camp, and the report states that " Mr. Beniowsky will represent the London Democratic Association only, and not the Tower Hamlets generally ;" and pathetically adds, " Thus has the district been again split up into faction. by the conduct of a few individuals."

There was a very flat market for most descriptions of goods and yarns yesterday, and some 'descriptio-, o f goods, and especially printing cloths and dor .les _ tics, were a shade lower than at the clo se o f last week. There was, however, an improved de•Lna.in. for some description s of yarn, and for 4r in c h shirtings, suitable for the India market.

SUPPLY OF COAL. —The enormous czonsum tion of c oa l s pro d uced by the appliew.in ei the steapm engine in the arts and manufacture.,, as well as to l ways and nav i gat i on, has of late 'fears excited th e fea rai rs of many as to the possibility og, the exhaustion of our coal mines. Such appreb.ensicins are, however, altogether groundless. If the ~,rese'.at consumption of coal he estimated at sixteen mill:ons of tons annually, it is de. raonstrable that ',:he coal fields of this country would not be exhausted for many centuries. But, in specua tions like these, the p ro b a bl e if not certain progress of improver...tent and discovery ought not to be overlooked ; and we may safely pronounce, that long before such • a period of time shall have rolled away, before d me re powerful mechanical agents will supersede the ur, e of coal.
