SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUNRALS. 1.11.3 Times, after a good deal of wavering, seems to lave at length settled into a conviction of the policy of fighting - the battles of the " Church" and the " Con stitution," with the assistance of the ‘, idle gentle men," " the most despised order of the human race," whom it has been summoning from the Hells and the Stews to "the rescue." These gentlemen will, we suppose, profit by their admonition, and kiss the rod like dutiful 'children. One would suppose that power tould not well be entrusted to worse hands than the 1 " Lordly Aristocrats of England," of whose favourite habits and indulgences so striking a picture has been furnished by our contemporary of Printing-house square. The Whigs and Radicals, no doubt, have their share of human imperfections ; but we defy the Times itself, rich as is its vocabulary of abuse, to show that any set of men in the country are worse qualified for conducting the affairs of the country than the men w h o fill the Conservative ranks, " the Lordly Aristo crats of England." We are told by the Times that— . 4 The Whig partisan Ministers, who put themselves forward as authors, both of the political reform and the corpo rate, were little influenced by the tendency of either so effect any particle of benefit for the nation, but looked to one exclusive object—viz., the working some grand change in the relative state of their own faction and of their opponents, by seizing a permanent gripe of the Go vernment into their own hands, and consigning Conserva tism to the Opposition benches for evar. For this one, this base and g eovelling end, was an anxiety for reform, political and municip4 assumed by the Whi.7 faction upon. coming into office : it was not to secure good government for the State through the medium of a reformed House of Commons, or good local government through the efficacy of a number of reformed corporations, but to crush Conser vatism, and raise Whiggery into the ascendant, that all the multifarious manoeuvres of the Whigs, in their three suc cessive stages of Cabinet making, an in each and every provision of their measures, touching-Ist, the elective franchise ; 94, the municipal franchise ; 3d, the Church of Ireland ; 4th, the Irish municipal reform ; sth, the encou ragement of ambitious intriguers and disaffected Republi cans amon g the Dissenting body, were contrived and re commended to the ' groundhogs' of Great Britain and Ireland." It is easy to impute motives to any set of men ; but in judging of politicians we ought to look not to mo tives, whist can never be discovered, but to the cha racter of their acts. If the Reform Bill and the other measures of the Whigs are good in themselves, to in quire into the motives' of the authors of them is a work of mere supererogation. . But the motives ascribed to the Whigs, is really the highest praise that can be given to them. When we are told that their object was not to secure good government for the State through the medium of a reformed House of Com mons, or good local government through the• efficacy of a number of reformed Corporations, but to crush Conservatism, we say this is a distinction with out a difference. Conservatism or Toryism is only another word for bad Government—for applying the resources of the State not for the benefit of the nation, but of a caste—for deluding the people with a semblance of freedom, that a few may riot with out control or responsibility. If, after the nation has obtained a reformed House of Commons, and good local government through the efficacy of a number of reformed Corporations, Whiggery is raised into the ascendant, this is the very highest praise that can be given to the Whigs. The ascendency which is derived from the unbiassed opinions of the people, is precisely that ascendency which it is most desirable to have. But the Times is as loose in its mode of reasoning as in its principles. The Tories, or Con servatives as they choose to call themselves, fought to the last for boroughmongering and self-election in Cor porations—that is, they fattened on the pillage of the nation. But the great object of the Government is the protection of property, consequently the possessors of property had an interest in parliamentary and Mu nicipal Reform. When we say, )mwever, that the pos sessors of property are interested in good government,• we do not mean to contend that this is for the interest of every holder of property. Many rich men were, as boroughmongers, interested in misgovernment. It was the fashion with these men to speak of themselves as the property of the country, and the Times seeks to / avail itself of the same fraud. Thus we are told, with respect to the Reform Bill and other measures con nected with it, that " whatever form the measure to be forced into notice might assume, or by whatever vague appeals to ignorance and passions it might be support ed, the same genius and spirit presided throughout them all—namely, the weakening the power of property in all - directions, and strengthening that of fierce, dis satisfied, grasping, and irresponsible numbers." We might here apply the argumentum ad hominem to our Contemporary, and ask with what conscience can it now pretend to guide the opinions of the people of England, when, by its own confession, for four years it was every day extolling the Reform Bill, as calcu lated to strengthen property, and only destructive to those who preyed on property,—and now it has the impudence to wetend that it was calculated to weaken the power of property in all directions, and to strengthen the enemies of property. But the Times would laugh at any attempt to meet its argument of one day by an appeal to the argument of another. The Times will say—we know we arc dishonest, unprincipled Swiss—ready to prostitute our pens for any cause—and our arguments a year ago in favour of any caus e are-no more to be taken into account than our pre sent arguments against it. We extolled the Re form Bill, it is true, as calculated to secure the na tion against misgovernment ; but we now choose to abuse the Reform Bill and its authors ; and the only certain conclusion to be draWn from this contradictory conduct is, that we are ourselves dishonest. Abandoning, therefore, all reference to the past conduct of the Times, we say that the Reform Bill has strengthened the power of property in all di rections, by its making the Government responsible to all who possess property. During the reign of bo roughmonaerinff a share of the plunder of the nation 0 rt , . was distributed among those by whom the farce of vir tual representation was carried on. The guardians of the public purse had themselves an interest in employ ing it. But the Reform Bill, with all its imperfections, has so far widened the constituencies, that a majority of representatives cannot be returned by bribery ; and the guardians of the public purse being now really responsible to the mass of possessors of property, the nation has before it a prospect of cheap and economical Government. The owners of property must labour under a strange dein- 1 sion if they think that property is weakened by diminishing its burdens. Some of " the Lordly Aristocrats of England," who having lost their pro perty in the criminal indulgences described by the :Times, may have cause to regret the inability to re plenish their stores from the national plunder ; but this is the only class who can with justice lament economy in the Government. The Times holds out to the Tories the hope that all is not lost by the triumph of Reform in' the late Municipal elections. The Mu nicipal electors we are told are not political electors ; and if a fill majority of political electors cannot be bribed, " every man to whom they refuse a bribe— that, is, an office and a salary—will be jealous of those 1 who are more favoured than himself, will be exaspe rated against the distributors of these loaves and fishes, and will infallibly join the Conservatives." We hope better of the enlightened inhabitants of the communities of England. Why are the Tories thrust out of power ? Because they have been the oppressors of their fellow-citizens because they have taxed them heavily and arbitrarily— because they admitted justice partially be cause they have done those things which diey ought not to have done, and left those things undone which they ought to have done. The people have seen that the State and Corporation robbers and peculators were closely leagued together--that the Tories and the cor rupt eorporators were one . and the same. It is difficult to say whether indignation against the Tories as a party, or indignation against the local Tories, who op pressed their respective communities, most predomina ted in the late clearing out of the Corporations. Are we to suppose, then, that the political electors will so tar stultify themselves as t o j o i n t h e C onservat i ve s — join the state-plunderers—join the men who have Wen li-i-veLLli . lified themselves with every abus e in Church and --: - 7 1 :` , N ' \ State— % who lament that, too little blo o d • as shed at ..., ,s; , : - C-- :;.4 2.5\1 1 a thcormac, and that more widows have not been de `; 'led of their sons in tithe campaigns--be Cause those ,t t,,: o have been voted into office by their fellow-citizens ...; re*: , ..! 4"/ "i;, lA c i.\V ,-."

Municipal Reform has annihilated a hOSt of supporters of the Tories. The whole resources - of the Corporations were at their command. A refor inition of abuses may weaken a bad Government, but they will always strengthen a good one. We may be sure, therefore, that a Reform Government, sincerely desirous of carrying the Reform Bill into effect; has everything to hope, and nothing to fear from time tri umph of reform in the Corporations.—Morn. Chron. fhe last Number of the Portfolio, viz., Number V., contains a document which, in the midst of the argu ments, pro and con., raised by Russia's German de fenders, or opponents, will be considered not less curious than important. It is a dispatch from the Russian Ambassador in this country, Prince Lieven, to the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs at St. Peters burg, Count Nesselrode, and it bears a remarkable date, viz., that of the 16th of January, 1829, which, as our readers will recollect, preceded by a few days the opening of the parliamentary Session which was characterized by Sir Robert Peel's " agonizing" re cantation on the Catholic question, in concurrence with a similar recantation on the part of the Duke of Wellington. The time and matter of the dispatch derive interest from the critical position of things when the communication was made, not less than from the adventitious circumstances of interest growing out of the present designs of Russia, which accompany the present publication of the document in the 'Portfolio. We have heard of several instances of " friendly franknesS" lately. For example, we have instanced the "friendly frankness" of the speech of the Emperor Nicholas at Warsaw, where, " for their own good," he tells the Poles they are liars, and that he will blow their town about their ears. We have witnessed the " friendly frankness" of a Conservative writer, who, as he says " for their own good," calls the Conservative minority who support Sir Robert Peel some of the hardest names be can find in the vocabulary, from " frivolous incapables" to " criminals," &c. We have now a similar exhibition of " friendly frank ness" on the part of Prince Lieven, the friend of the Duke of Wellington, in writing an ac count to Count Nesselrode of the proceedings of his illustrious friend in 1829. The picture which he sends of the greatest captain of the age to his offi cial superior is by no means a flattering one. Per haps he may have borrowed a few traits from the Con servative paper to which we have referred—then opposed to the Duke and Sir R. Peel, and whose cue it then was to say " that his Grace's mouth was only fit to whistle with." It must be %admitted that Prince Lieven depicts the illustrious Premier of 1829 as little better than an imbecile ; but we have no doubt, as in the two former instances, he considered his sarcastic derogation to be entirely " for his Grace's own good." If, indeed, he is described by his Russian patron as an imbecile, while acting the part of Premier, his Grace ought to be thankful to his friend for not having taken his description from his own mouth, by which he pro nounced himself to be " a madman " for undertaking such a task. The purview and substance of the des patch is that the Duke being not only incompe tent, but perfectly convinced of his own incompe tency, endeavoured to bolster up his party pre vious to the meeting of Parliament by ingenious expe dients, which are not generally deemed to be politically honest. " The Duke," says this moral Russian diplo matist, " has employed the interval between last session and the one about to open in increasing, to the utmost of his power, the number of his adherents, and in this vital interest he has employed more money and address than any of his predecessors." This is " cool, quite cool." Considering that this comes from the mouth of a well-wisher and ally, it will be considered as rather a startling admission of political corruption. Mr. Joseph Hume should look to it. But really, viewing the com bined incapacity and embarrassment in which the Peel and Wellington Ministry appear to have been at the 'time in question plunged, we are willing to put as fa vourable a gloss as we can on the shifts which they resorted to in order to maintain themselves in place, at the expense of every thing like public principle. Their recantation upon Catholic Emancipation constitutes a very fair pendant to the recantation which they now express their willingness to make on the subject of Reform. Sir Robert Peel might indeed exclaim, with regard to the last sacrifice of principle, as to the first, and in the same terms of self-humiliation and' self-re proach— " Oh ! bitter pangs of agonizing shame." But the document, as we have said, if it does not fur nish any thing like a moral apology, moves a kind of contemptuous pity for the Ministry which it exposes. The Russian diplomatist very frankly says, that not withstanding this questionable outlay of public money, " if the Duke has obtained the superiority of num bers, that of talent is against him." " Loripedem rectus derided." But the next passage is still more contemptuously sarcastic—" Although he has made every effort to conceal his intentions, it is evident that he has formed no plan whatever, except that of waiting in order to adopt in the end the opinion which will appear to preponderate." • This is what the friends of " Old Van ' used to call the " lucky turn-up" system of conducting a Government. - There is nothing like waiting the fall out of events with the mouth open. " Perhaps," as the proverb has it, " the skies may fall, ,and those who look out may catch larks." But the Calmuck portrait-painter could not leave his picture without a parting touch ; and he does so, con amore, in the following passage : The Duke could only take to himself the merit of the first of these causes ; the honour of the second be longs to the measures of political economy adopted by the last Ministry. But as the nation in general is lit tle capable of appreciating this distinction, the Duke will reap the merit as well as the fruits of the work of his predecessors." According to this view, the Jack- daw of Toryism—sorry bird as it is—had stolen every feather in his tail from his opponents. 'rhe Tories are not very nice about the distinctions of meum et tuum ; but it is " too bad" for a friend to make the allega tion. However, the party have considered it conve nient to adopt the same " Old Bailey Dock " prin ciple up to the present day. It saves a wonderful deal of trouble, time and thought. Steal any measure you 'can, is their device ; do any thing to keep the plunder, or to avoid being turned of" But we quit this ex quisite picture of " The Duke," sent by his Russian friend in London to his Russian friend in St. Peters burgh ; in order to come to the concluding pith of the matter, the " sting in the tail" of this brilliantly epi grammatic composition. " The Duke" is cunningly hinted to have his hands so full with the above official trickeries and political embarrassments of his own crea tion, that Russia may take her full swing of encroach ment without obstruction. The soothing and " hush ing up" system must be adopted. ",He will be dis posed to conciliate rather than exasperate;" &c. Such is the substance of the concluding paragraph of the letter of Prince Lieven. And so the event showed ; for in six months' time from its date, the Russians were crossing the Balkan ; and in nine months after it, were 'in full march on Constantinople—a prize which they have never de facto relinquished to this very day, and never will.—Morning Advertiser. It would by no means astonish us, if in a short time, the Liberal papers were to be as clamorous for an amendment of the Municipal Corporations Bill, as they were noisy in their joy when it was proposed, or in their eagerness that it might pass. Even if we had not seen a similar change on the part of these worthies, with respect to another measure, which was not found to work quite so well as they had predicted—still we should anticipate, with some confidence, the time when they would discover the imperfections of the present Bill. When it was in progress they did indeed en deavour to bear us down with unfounded assertions and gratuitous assumptions ; but, unfortunately for that favourite style. of Whig-Radical argumentation, the Bill is nowlaw, and a mere child will be able to test its merits or demerits by its practical effects. When those effects shall, as they daily promise to do, be felt in such an increase of local debt, and consequent tax, ation, as was unknown before, save only in such cor porations as had been already liberalised—when discontent 'shall possess tlie, multitude, to whom the Whigs and Radicals equally look 4 sh e uncon scious instruments of their own advantage—then we shall hear that the J3ill requires " modification." And that we are not calculat;rig upon an extreme or impro bable case, appears pretty evident fruit} the proceed. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, ISB6. ings that have already Lean .adopted under the Bill in one _town alone. In Liverpool, as -we learn from the Liverpool Standard of Tuesday, the reformed corpo rators have, in forty-eight hours, by the measures they have pursued, saddled the town with a debt of from one hundred to one hundred and twenty thousand poundsbeing, in the words of our Contemporary, more than the whole surplus revenue of the town for - the next two years." Nor there is reason to hope that the mischief will be allowed to stop short, even at this frightful point. It is the open boast of the Liverpool Reformers that they will. make " a clean sweep ; ' that is, that they will continue to do as they have already done—dismiss from their appoint ments public officers against whom no charge has been so much as insinuated, only that they may nominate some of their own creatures in their room. These dismissal's will involve new compensations; and thus the debt will continue to accumulate. And here we come to the point, out of which it is not difficult to foresee that the demand for an amendthent of the Bill will arise. " The Corporations," we still quote, " must pay this money out of their income, and if they do, how are the public improvements to be prose , euted ? How are the families of 5,000 masons, carpenters, bricklayers, and other artisans, to be sup ported ? They, we saw from the first, would be the victims of this pernicious Bill. Some few hundreds called for it, but little did the whole fraternity of operatives know that they would have to pay for it." The operatives (there can be no doubt of it) will grum ble, and then the Whig-Radicals must do something to put a stop to the grumbling. Whatever nonsense may may have been talked about the Parliamentary influence of Ministers being strengthened by this Bill, the real intention of it was to give them popularity ; and rather than endanger that, especially now when the Government can so ill afford to lose what little is left to them, any sacrifice must be made. The Municipal, like the Parliamentary, Reform Bill, it will soon be found out, will not " work well;" and mischief, that years of suffering will not be able to remedy, will have been produced, in order to purchase for a political faction a short-lived popularity—a popularity which that faction could hardly have sought with so much eagerness; if it had had the wisdom to look at the sub ject—as a celebrated writer did, when he said— " Let the man who is vain of public favour be humbled by the reflection that, in the midst of his success, he is min gled with a crowd of impostors and deceivers, of hypocrites and enthusiasts, of ignorant pretenders and superficial rea soners, who, by various arts, have attained as high a rank as himself in temporary fame."—Morning Post. ALARMING FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'slock, a fire broke out in the drug ware house of Mr. Freeman, Seward-street, Goswell-street, and from the inflammible nature of the immense stock on the premises the utmost consternation prevailed in the neigh bourhood for some time. By one o'clock the fire men had succeeded in gaining an entrance to the ware house, when they ascertained that a great quantity of the stock was consumed, and considerable damage done to the building. Mr. Freeman is insured in the Sun Fire Office. The origin of the fire is unknown. THE LATE FIRE AT BISHOP STORTFORD UNION WORKHOUSE.—A fire broke out in this establish ment on the night of Christmas Day, but was quickly sub dued, and the injury sustained but trifling. The following morning a Board was convened at an early hour, and cer tain of the inmates of a suspicious character being brought before the sitting Magistrates, John Arthur Houblon, Esq. and the Rev. C. S. Bouchier, after a long investigation, three of the ringleaders have been committed to Hertford Gaol, to take their trial at the, approaching Assizes.—Herts County Press. DUNDEE SHIPPING.—The trade of Dundee is extraordinary beyond all former example, and its manufac tures are forcing themselves into every corner of the g'obe. The number of shipping belonging to the town is 302, and the tonnage 3,059. During a period of thirty-two years from 1792 to 1824, there was an increase of 9,495 tons► which is scarcely equal to the increase for the next five years, from 1824 to 1829 ; and in the succeeding four years, from 1829 to 1833, was almost equal to what it had been during the previous five, being 9,:323 tons. The in crease goes on progressively, and will of course keep pace with the trade.—Dundee chronicle. THE DEPOPULATING SYSTEM.—On Saturday morning we informed our readers that this system of slow murder was taking its rounds—it was then in Newry—it i s now in Limerick. Upwards of two thousand people met at Greenhill, near Kilpeacon, in the county of Limerick, for the purpose of relieving by subscription forty families, on whom notices of ejectment were served. While the meeting was being held, some one announced that the mi litary were approaching with a man to serve the law orders, upon which the screams set up by the unhappy people (women and children) became truly heart-rending. '1 he militarY, however, did not arrive, and the meeting separated between - twelve and one o'clock, in the most peaceable man ner, having entered into resolutions, &c. We have the demon of extermin a tion now w a lki ng w ith g iant strides through:Carlow, Newry, and Limerick.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. BRIGHTON.—Such was the intensity of the frost on Friday night that a vagrant was found early on Satur day morning, at the western extremity of the town, frozen to death. In the course of the week no less than three children have been burnt to death, through the negligence of their parents, in three adjacent parishes., One child was two years and a half ; a second, four ; and a third, six years old. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Tuesday morning, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a young man jumped into the ThaMes clgse to Irongate-stairs, Tower-hill. A waterman hearing a splash, instantly threw off his jacket, and (notwithstanding the inclemency of the season) plunged into the water, and after some difficulty succeeded in taking the young man on shore. He then called for the assistance of the police, and the body, which was apparently lifeless, was conveyed to the Nelson's Arms, adjacent. A respectable surgeon, residing in the neigh bourhood, was sent for, and on his arrival be was almost horror-struck on discovering that the patient was his own brother, who in the course of the previous night had been to his house. By extraordinary perseverance animation was restored. The medical gentleman had a suit of clothes sent from his house to the sufferer, who on being sufficiently re covered, was, at the request of his brother (who stated that the consequences of retaining him might prove fatal) allowed to go home. From the statement of his brother, who is of the highest respectability, it appeared that the young man is a continual annoyance to his friends, that this is the second time he has attempted self-destruction, and notwithstanding all they do in assisting him in every possible way, he has ne glected every opportunity of going on steadily, and getting his living in a respectable manner. CHANCERY COURT.-WEDNESDAY DONOVAN V. DONOVAN. The question in this cause arose on the construction to he put on a codicil of the will of Mr. James Donovan, of .Fitzwilliam-square, in the city of Dublin, who died in 1830. The codicil in dispute gave a sum of one thousand pounds to each of his grandchildren, but as it proceeded subse quently to declare that this sum was in addition to one thousand pounds already bequeathed to one of these grand children,. and alluded also to his brothers, it. was contended that the - subsequent words limited the bequest of the thousand pounds to each of the children of one of the sons of the testator, and did not include the whole of the grand children, as from the language at the commencement it would appear to do. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of 'opinion that the testator intended to give one thousand to each of all his grandchildren, and not to each of a class, Against this decision the residuary legatee ap pealed. Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the argument, in timated their intention to dispose of the point to-morrow morning. VICE-CHANCERY.- = WEDNESDAY SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—On Tuesday a res pectable Jury was -empannelled in the Board Room of Middlesex Hospital before Mr. Stirling, Coroner for Mid dlesex, to inquire touching the death of Mary Smith, aged 22, who committed self-destruction by swallowing vitriolic acid under the following distressing circemstances :—Mr. Barnard Gregory, of No. 69,, Welbeck-street, Cavendish square, on being sworn, said that the deceased, about five months ago, was engaged by Mrs. Gregory to fill the situa tion of cook in his family. They bad a good character with her as a servant, and' she answered their expectations. On Sunday morning last, a little before nine o'clock, he was in his dressing-room, when he was alarmed by a lady who was spending the Christmas with the family, and who knocked at witness's door, stating that the deceased, who was in the kitchen, had taken some vitriolic acid. Witness hastened there, and discovered her seated in a chair. Sh e was in the most excruciating agony, and with great diffi_ culty, upon being questioned by witness, said she had taken some vitriolic acid. Witness instantly sent another of his servants for a surgeon, when in a very short time Mr. Cray don called, and applied antidotes to relieve the deceased, who. having become a little easier, was placed in a coach, and conveyed to Middlesex Hospital. In answer to ques tions from the Coroner and Jury, Mr. Gregory stated that for some weeks past he had perceived a great alteration in the deceased's conduct, who did not perform her duties in 'her customary manner. She appeared thoughtful and me lancholy. Witness heard that she had formed an attach ment to a young man of the name of Charles Smith, but who was not related to her, and who had promised to marry her. In expectation of such an event, the deceased supplied hi m with her wages, and occasionally pledged her clothes for him. Her violent attachment for him led to he: ruin, which, together with the subsequent desertion and neglect of her seducer, in witness's opinion, led to the unfortunate ea tastroPle. Mr. Gregory here placed in the hands of the Jury several letters written by the deceased. One of them, and which was read, was to the following effect :—" Dear Ernma,—Atter the misfortune I have met with, my life is a burden to me, and I have come to the determinati on o f fate ; and this is all caused by my too great is:0:0 v ofor od meeting , my rr „y r o gv man.ui.pgmeiand all my friends adieu for e ver / had a kind master and mist ress.

DE TASTET. This was a motion for payment into Court of a sum of 55,0001. and a fraction. The transactions which are the subject of the suit occurred several years ago between the plaintiff, Antoine Michel, an eminent banker at Paris, and the late Fermin de Tastet, a Spanish merchant, naturalized in England, respecting the mode of procuring payment of certain claims which the former had on the Spanish Govern roent. The case involves very serious suspicions of fraud on the part of persons well known in the Money Market. It has already occupied the Court two days, and will be re sumed to-morrow (this day). INSOLVENT COURT-WEDNESDAY John Mullis applied on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for Mr. Rob son, a marble-merchant, of Abingdon-street, Westminster. He was supported by Mr. WOODEOFFE. The insolvent had been a stonemason, and his wife had kept a coffee-shop in the neighbourhood of Middlesex Hos pital. The object of the opposition was to inquire into pro perty. The insolvent, in accounting for a sum of money which he had in his pocket to take up a bill, said that he had got drunk and was robbed. On . the morning, at four o'clock, following the day he had left his house to take up the bill, he found himself walking in the road, alone, near the Elephant and Castle ; be searched his pocket and found that he had been robbed of all his money except 151. Being ashamed to return to his partner and wife, he stopped a whole day at a public-house, and afterwards went to Ken sington and booked himself for Plymouth, for the purpose of borrowing a hundred pounds of his friends to make up the deficiency. Mr. Cooxs addressed the Court for the opposing credi tor, and Mr. WOODROFFE having replied, The COURT said nothing could justify drunkenness. They believed the story of the robbery, but did not consider the insolvent entitled to his discharge ; therefore sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, under the discretionary clause. Arthur Vernon Barnes, late a purser in the navy, was opposed by Mr. IsTicHoLLs on the part of Mr. Walker, a solicitor. He was undefended. The insolvent's debts were somewhat considerable. He was questioned relative to a marriage settlement, under which he expected he should have an interest. On the marriage of his father, the sum of 10,0001. was settled on the children of the marriage, the appointment to be in the hands of the survivor. He had been unable to obtain a copy of the settlement. Mr. NICHOLLS hoped the Court would require the in solvent to file a copy of the settlement. The insolvent said every day's detention in prison would materially injure him, as he was anxious to proceed to Australia. He had, it seemed, been appointed Secretary to the Commission to Western Australia. The COURT, under the circumstances, discharged the in solvent. He applied to be discharged instanter, as his situa tion was in jeopardy. It was granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Summers, aged 28, a respectable-looking young man, was indicted for stealing, in March last, the sum of 3,7251., the monies of Messrs. Ashley and Co., bankers, of Regent -street. On the indictment being read, the prisoner pleaded Guilty. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Are you aware that by plead ing Guilty it makes no difference as to the punishment ? You had therefore better withdraw that plea, and take your trial. The prisoner said he was Guilty. The plea was accordingly recorded. James Bryant, aged,l6, was indicted for stealing a till, containing 19s. 1O d. in money, and a small weighing ma chine of the value of 35., the property of Richard Biddle. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. 'The police constable who apprehended the prisoner, in formed the Court that he was tried last sessions for a rob bery, when be was acquitted. Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgrate, stated to the Court that the prisoner had been in custody. Eli:. Jones, aged 19, and Mary Hall, aged 22, were indicted for stealing a collar and padlock, of .the value of 2s. 6d., the property of Mr. Mathias. The prisoners were in the habit of stealing cats and kill ing them, for the sake of the skins. When they were ap prehended on Thursday evening last, some dead cats were found in their possession as well as the articles mentioned in the indictment. The prisoners in their defence said they had picked the cats up. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Baron GU R N EY — Prisoners, I can inform you that neither of you will follow such brutal practices again in this country. THE FORGERIES ON THE AUSTRIAN BANK.—The AT TORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court to postpone the trial of Robert Balls and Thomas Harris., who were re manded from last sessions for feloniously making and en graving a promissory note, with intent to defraud his Ma jesty the Emperor of Austria. Mr. Baron GURNEY had consulted with his Learned Brother, Mr. Justice Littledale, yesterday, and they were of opinion that the trial ought to go on. The prisoners were then placed at the bar, and pleaded not guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENER AL said as the Court refused his application he should not offer any evidence. The prisoners were then, under the direction of the Learned JUDGE, Acquitted. The prisoners were then sent back to Newgate. • SURREY SESSIONS..-..WEDNESDAY. James Baker, a grey-headed man, upwards of sixty-six years of age, and Thomas Button, were indicted for stealing three pigs, the property of John Santer, a farmer, residing at Reigate, in Sussex. Witnesses having been examined, brought home the charge of stealing the pigs to the two prisoners, and a ver dict of Guilty was returned against both. Baker was sen tenced to seven Years' transportation, and the other pri soner to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in Brixton Gaol. After the trial of some unimportant cases, the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Robert Jacques, a journeyman carpenter, was brought up oa a warrant before Messrs. RAwurisoN and H.osKiNs, c harged with the following assaults :—William Burge, a man living at No. 9, Harcourt-street, New-road, about three o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, the 28th ult., went with some dinner to a neighbour of h►s, named Ste vens, who had that morning been put in possession at the house of Mr. John Crabb, No. 45, Cochrane-terrace, Port land-town, for poor rates, and while there, the defendant, who was a lodger in the house, came down stairs, and, ask ing him what business he had there, told him to go out. He did so, when the defendant followed him, and struck him a violent blow in the face, after which he (defendant) re turned to the house, and in a few minutes 'Stevens was pushed into the street. Mr. Masters had distrained upon Mr. Crabb for poor rates to the amount of Si. He put Stevens in possession, and since the day the defendant turned him out had been unable to regain possession. • Mr. RAWLINSON told the defendant be was in a very a wkward situation. He should call upon him to find good bail, and give twenty-four hours' notice thereof, to answer the charge at the Sessions ; but he would advise him in the meantime to make peace with the parish ; for, if the case Wa s tried, he would no doubt be severely punished. Ho was then removed to the lock-up. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Robert Stanwick, the driver of Carter's omnibus from Mile-end, was yesterday brought before Mr. Dyer, charged with the following gross misconduct towards Mr. Ball, one of the passengers. Mr. Ball bailed the defendant on the stand on seeing the words," To Brompton" on the omni bus. He got in, having previously said' to the c_cliAd,s that he wanted to go to p T i m plop, % I winch 19,adie no objMifla. y9ll l 'M a§ :far as l d,once-street the driver palledi L ip; Oa the conductor 001 oPene d the door, and insis ted upon ap t passengersa . ij a hopg, wq4 not pin ant' fgrOlq iP cll4t 440W0g, Voratilainant got out and attempted to remonstrate, but he was treated with such abuse and ruffianly conduct by the defendant that he was compelled to give him into the custody of police sergeant Rogers. The defendant said that Mr. Carter had only very re cently bought the omnibus, and he had not as yet had time to get fresh pannels put into the vehicle. Mr. DYER said the case was of a most aggravated na ture, and he should go as far as the law would permit, by fining him 51., or two months' imprisonment. HA 7'T ON- GA RDEN. On Tuesday evening, James Hall»Y. I, a fine boy, about thirteen years of age, was brought from Rosamond-street station-house, in the custody of Barnard, 110 G division, charged by Mr. Edward Archer, of Alton-street, Islington, who was described in the police sheet as a gentleman, with having stolen a tin box, containing sundry articles, and a rat trap. Mr. BENNETT—Can you swear that they are your pro perty ? Prosecutor—l can, your Worship. Mr. BENNETT (to Mr. Mallett, the Chief Clerk) — Then, as the Grand Jury are sitting, you can take the case, and I shall commit the prisoner for trial at once. Mr. Mallett was preparing to take the case, when a woman of respectable appearance rushed forward in an ex ti eme state of agitation, and begged of Mr. Bennett to recal his determination. Mr. BENNETT—Pray, who arc you ? Answer—l am the prisoner's mother. Mr. BENNETT—Then, if you have anything to say, pray be calm, do not agitate yourself, or I cannot understand you, or do justice to either party. The mother (endeavouring to repress her feelings, and pointing at the prosecutor) said—That fellow married my sister, and he has treated her in the most cruel manner, and she is now suing him in Doctors' Commons for a divorce, on the plea of cruelty and adultery. The other day she sent to me for a loan of 1/., when I sent her 10s. by my son, and she sent the box and other articles to me at my request by the prisoner, who was met by the prosecutor, and given into custody by him as a thief. He is not a thief, your Worship, and here is my sister to prove it. Mr. BENNETT—Let her stand forward. Mrs. Archer (the prosecutor's wife) here stepped forward. Mr. BENNETT^Is that your sister ? Mrs. Archer—lt is, your Worship. Mr. BENNETT—Are you married to that man (pointing at Mr. Archer)? Mrs. Archer—l am, your Worship. Mr. BENNETT—Have you heard all that she has stated ? Mrs. Archer—l have, Sir. Mr. BENNETT—And is all that she has stated true ? Mrs. Archer—lt is, Sir, perfectly so. Mr. BENNETT—Then I shall discharge the prisoner. Mr. Archer—Allow me to say one word, your 'Worship. Mr. BENNETT—I will hear no more ; I have decided the case ; clear the Court. Mr. Archer—l did not know that he was my nephew when I gave him into custody. Mrs. Halford—Yo u did know him ,well. The box, it appears, contained some leases belonging to Mrs. Archer. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday J. French, a journeymen in the employment of Mr. Robison, a rope-maker, in Limehouse, was brought be fore Mr. HARDWICK, and a County Magistrate, on a charge of assaulting William Anderson, a fellow-workman, who had been induced, through distress, to work for smaller wages than the other men received. The defendant was ordered to find bail for his good be haviour for two months, and to give twenty-four hours' no tice of the solvency of his sureties. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was taken before Mr HIGGS, at the White Lion, Hemming's-row, on view of the body of Thomas Read, aged sixty, a man well known for the last ten years in the purlieus of Covent-garden Market, by the soubriquet of " Old Tom," who died from exposure to the late inclement weather. Robert Burden, hostler to Mr. Pearie, proprietor of the King's Head-yard, Russell-street, Drury-lane, has known the deceased for the last eighteen months. He knew him by no other name than that of " Old Tom." The de ceased had no place of abode, and no relation, that he is aware of. Witness never saw him in liquor. He does not believe he was in want of food. Till within the last three months he slept at night against the pillars of the Piazzas, Covent-garden, or any place that he could find in the mar ket. He was almost destitute of clothing, pieces of sacks forming his only covering. Three months ago witness's master stated to the deceased that he might sleep in his sta bles at night, which offer he accepted, and he was accustomed to sleep in one of the stables. On Friday last deceased complained of the cold. Witness saw him the last time alive about eight o'clock on Saturday evening, when he had half a pint of warm beer. Witness left him in the stable. The next morning, about nine o'clock, he found him dead, lying in the kennel, a few yards from the stall. The body was cold, and was partly covered. 'Witness called a policeman when the deceased was conveyed to the workhouse of St. Martin's parish. From further evidence there was reason to believe that the deceased had one time kept his carriage and a stud. Hi s relations were stated to be persons of property ; but n o c l ue was obtained as to their names or residence. The Jury re turned a verdict " That the deceased died from exposure to the cold, without sufficient clothing." MURDER AT NAPLES.—The Observatore Tries lino contains the following account of an extraordinary murder in the theatre at Naples, during the performance of an opera :—" A rivalry existed for some months between Mdlle. Gambrici and Mdlle. Marina, two singers, engaged at the Theatre Valle. Mdlle. Marina appeared to attract the most attention for several days, and was received with great applause whenever she presented herself, and crowns of flowers were showered down on her. Some parties, with a malicious feeling, waited on her rival to condole with her on the superior success of Marina, saying , she must feel Mortified by it. Gambrici answered, that so far from being chagrined, she acknowledged the other lady sang beautifully, and would herself throw her a crown that evening. She kept her word. The loudest cheers greeted her rival on her appearance on the stage, and, as usual, at the end of the first act, floryers and garlands were thrown by the audience. Suddenly, from one of the upper tiers of boxes, a crown fell on the head of the favourite actress. She ut tered a cry, and fell dead on the spot ! The crown was of massive bronze. Mdlle. Gambrici is in the hands of justice." We learn that more than one new Hell has recently been opened under the Quadrant, and that another close adjoininc , the entrance doors of the Opera-house is open day an enight. CLERICAL PARTIZAN.—At a dinner to celebrate Mr. Maunsell's return here last week, there were assembled sixty-three persons, a fifth part of which number were cler gymen of the Established Church, including the vicar and curate of the parish The vicar, Dr. James, is a pluralist of the first water, makes "able speeches" at political clubs, and leads on the resident clergy of this cathedral town to condemn the supporters of the Government. Contrast with the troop of clergy proclaiming Mr. Maunsell at Pe terborough and elsewhere, the entire absence of the cloth from the assemblage of Liberals at Kettering, and it ap pears a bad' party business indeed, and is truly startling ; but when we reco ll ec t t h at w i t l a a ll t hi s array of B.D.'s and M.A.'s, together with their compelled supporters, Mr. Maunsell had still to supplicate the waverers, to canvass them over and over again, and if his life depended on adding one more to the 1,900 promises, we can only regent the. whole as a desperate effort, too successful I It is insultAng to the nation to know that a county election has been de cided by such means (not the worst, by the bye, that were used) ; and with such concomitants T. P. Maunsell, Esq., M.P., may cling to his dearly purchased honours. Con scientious, worthy, and even high-minded men, are doubt less to be found in the ranks of his supporters, though few and far between. The 1,800 and odd are to be spoken of in the gross as bigots, bondsmen, and hirelings, the compo nent part of all Tory constituencies.—Nerthampton Chronicle. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—The district of Broad ford, county of Clare, has been thrown into excitement by information given by the postboy who lately conveyed the mail from Limerick to Tulle. He was discharged by the contractor with the post-office, named Burns,- a miller and farmer on the line, and in revenge has charged Ole con tractor with burying an old man in his employment alive! His story is, that the old man being in a feeble state was sent on a car to his friends in the county of Tipperary. They refused to receive him, and sent him back ; when Burns, assisted by his son and the informant, buried him alive in his clothes. Burns and his son have been arrested, and admit that the old man was buried in his clothes, but deny that he was alive. The coroner and magistrates have been for some days searching for the body, which was interred in an old church-yard, but, although assisted by the informer and the accused, they had not been able to dis cover it when our informant wrote. The postboy has sworn that he heard the old man groan as they throw the earth on him in his grave.—frith Paper. The man named Carroll, who lived in the Town, Limerick, and bad been a notorious drunkard, from some pecuniary motive took an oatl pot to drink ardent liquors for five years. His alt owa time should have expired on Christmas-day 110 s 9, great was his desire fora renewal of his c.vk 1 40*, that he commenced drinking again on plu:istNateve--went to bed quite drmakx and was found a corpse next mornini, The grAli-vac is, raking great ravages in Denmark. anci 40 persons were dying weekly at Copan 4agen, from the disease, which seems to attack even those who have formerly had the infection.

The sanction of the Bank directors, as implied in their recent notice, to the view taken by our leading capitalists of the state of politics, is held by them to be of very great im portance at this moment, as it was in their power to have checked the rise at least by merely calling in the loans on stock fixed for payment in this month, which course many jpersons were apprehensive that they would adopt. The ealousy with which of late they have uniformly regarded speculations in the foreign funds should, however, inspire. caution in those now engaged in them not to go too far, as: the events of May last are too recent not to impose on tho directors the necessity of timely interference in order to prevent their recurrence. They were reproached with having aggravated, if they did not actually cause, that crisis, and arc not likely to fall into the same error again. At present all parties seem to be at accord on this sub ject, and that union is assisted as much by the state of money and of the foreign exchanges as by political affairs.. The advance, too, has not yet proceeded far enough forr any dangerous reaction.—Morning Paper. A child was last week suffocated at Chichester, in a very sin gu l ar manner. The mother. on putting,. it to bed, cov ere d i t w i th a silk handkerchief, and on th : family retiring to rest , at eleven o ' clock, the infant was. e lifeless, having sucked the handkerchief into its mouth, and thereby caused suffocation.
