SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS 'PROX TPOii EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. . „ GLOBE.—While strenuously striving to effect an object, in which it signally fails, the Times establishes • another, and very important fact, of which it was, or affected to be, altogether ignorant. The point aimed at by the Times is to fasten upon the Whigs the charge of aiding and abetting O'Connell in the repeal agitation, for party . purposes. This is an accusation which is easily made. It has been reiterated with in creased assurance, as its utter falsehood became more and more apparent. The accumulation of facts by which it has been confuted, requires for its repetition no common share of the courage which not merely dis penses with truth in dealing with political opponents, but takes for granted that those who read the inventions thus boldlyput . forth are utterly oblivious of recorded facts,- the. records of which are accessible by all. •In proof of the perfectly gratuitous character of this imputation, we might refer to more than one Royal Speech on the opening of Parliament durin g th e Whig ,Administrations,in which the strongest language con sistent with the occasion was employed against the re peal of the legislative union of the two countries—to the speeches of the members of the Whig Government in Parliament---the explicit condemnation of the Repeal Association by Lord Fortescue, when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in which he expressed his determination to exclude from every description of office under the Crown, all who became members of the Association ; and at the same time cautioned the leaders of the move- • wilt, then in its infancy, against any violation of the laws or interruption of the public peace ; as, in that ease, the powers which the Constitution had placed at the disposal of the Government would be employed—the peace of the community protected—and the offimders be visited with punishment. The same may be affirmed of the journals which were and are conducted on the principle by which the Whigs administered the Government. Fur ourselves, we may safely assert that no language can have been more unmistakeable than that which we have in vari ably employed in reprobation of repeal. Our strongestcen sures have been directed against the folly of the Repeal project, and to set forth the mischief's to which the agitation got up by O'Connell and his coadjutors were producing among the population. This course we took —not merely when we might be supposed to act under the guidance of the marked reprehensions uttered by the Whig leaders. Since the agitation for Repeal has become au apparently national, rather than a local movement, and three provinces have become the theatre of its ope ration—since Repeal has disturbed the country with fears, and embarrassed the Government by its formid able.proceedings, our language has been invariably the same. No factious motives have induced us to vary our tone or qualify our expressions. We still regard the Repeal project with the same undeviating aversion, both as to its objects, and the means by which it is sought to be effected. We have said thus much in vindication of our consistency, and of the political party with which we are associated, against such imputations as those which are to-day hashed up again by the Times. The Times—without perceiving the tendency of its admissions, and the manner in which it satisfactorily ac counts for the origin and progress of the Repeal move ment on grounds other than those it has assigned—re to the fact, that the condition of the great mass of the people—a condition which the Whigs, when in office, laboured to improve—constitutes the element in which discontent finds its encouragement ; and that the utter 'hopelessness of improvement under the pre sent Government imparts impulse to agitation, and invests it with the elements of alarm. The prose cution of O'Connell—the way in which that prosecution has been conducted—the various and often detailed ap pliances of irritation to an already excited people, crowned by the expulsion of every Roman Catholic from the jury panel on account of his creed—these insults and injuries, accompanied by a stern refusal to inquire into the general grievances, have stimulated the national-dis ... like to Tory rule, which has taken the shape of Repeal agitation. The movement might have been crippled by conciliation—it has been fostered by coercion. The Times may rave—for it is not reasoning. That.. which is 'good in the exhortation, comes too late to be of use. That which is evil in it the Ministers have already tried, and it has increased the evils it was designed to re medy. The Ministers have "" plunged" themselves into the thickest difficulties that ever e — nvironed a Govern ment. They know not how to get out—whether by re treating—if they are, indeed, able to do so; or by daring the worst to themselves and the country, by attempting to proceed in the course which has been beset with dan gers, and which threatens to become yet more perilous. STANDARD.—It will have been seen, from our yesterday's report that the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin was occupied until • half-past six on Saturday evening in hearing the arguments of counsel, as to the admissibility as evidence of certain printed documents issued from time to time by the Repeal Association, and produced in. Court by the printer employed by that body. To support the charge of having collected money for the purposes of the conspiracy as laid in the in dictment, the counsel for the Crown proposed to read a paper headed " Instructions to Repeal Wardens," and signed Daniel O'Connell. It was okeeted by the counsel for the traversers, that the publication of these papers was not mentioned in the bill of particulars. The Court, however, decided that they should be admitted. The counsel fur the traversers then ob:ected, on the same ground, to the reading of a " Letter addressed to the " Secretary of the Repeal Association, by the author of the Green Book." The Attorney : General replied . . that the letter had appeared in the Nation news Caper, publications from which were included in the bill of par ' ticulars ; adding that in their objections the traversers' counsel confounded the chitrges against them with the mode of proving them. The Crown had supplied a bill of particulars of the charges to be brought against them, but it was absurd to pretend that all the documents it was intended to use in evidence should have 'been set forth. The Court finally decided in favour of the admissibility of all the docu ments, and then adjourned until 10 o'clock on Monday. The admission of these papers is considered of much greater importance to the issue of the trial than any other proceeding which has yet taken place during its progress ; furnishing as they do the most complete evi dence of the connection of the traversers with the As sociation, and their consequent responsibility for the publications issued by that body. The most im portant of these documents are-1. The letters of the secretary of the Loyal National Association, relative to the new Card of Members, by the author of the "Green Book."-2. A Plan fur the Renewal of the Irish Parlia- ment.-3. Instructions for the Appointment of Repeal Wardens.-4. Form for the Appointment of Repeal Wirdens.-5. A Proclamation relating to the Arbitration Courts.-6. The Address of the Association to the Lila bitants of Countries subject to the British Crown.-7. Rules to be observed by Arbitrators in Districts.-8, Arbi tration Notices, &c. A great many witnesses for the Crown remain yet to be examined. The Morning Chronicle has attempted to palliate its own inconsistency in reference to these prosecutions by fictitious allegations against its Contemporaries, and has charged the Standard, among others, with having published " gar bled" extracts from the evidence. It is hardly necessary for us to defend ourselves from such an accusation. We have carefully abstained from any comment whatever on the evidence, although we have not hesitated to express our disgust at the piltry devices by which it has been at , tempted to protract the proceedings. The only two ex tracts from the evidence to which we have directed atten. tion, consisted of samples of the mode in which the cross• examination of witnesses is being conducted by the counsel for the traversers, and which involved no fact that could have the slightest influence on the issue. One counsel asks a witness, whom he has in vain attempted to baffle by questions arising out of his evidenee;“ If he would have any objection to give a piece of Irish tabinet for a lady ?" lie answers perhaps he should; when the counsel replies " then the lady would have the worst of the bargain." We certainly deprecated such a mode of cross-examination, and we repeat our opinion, that it was in the worst possible taste. With regard to the facts of the case, as detailed in the speech of the Attorney-General, and supported by the evidence, we have studiously refrained from all comment upon them ; and notwithstanding the threat of the Morning Chro• nide, that it will proceed to comment upon them de die in diein, we shall nut be induced to follow its example. The Chronicle is not, however, alone in its breach of the rule ordinarily observed on such occasions ; the Whig and Radical press generally has evinced a dis regard for " decency" and " justice" in its attempts to intimidate the jury, and calumniate the wit nesses for the Crown, wholly without precedent. It was reserved for our Morning Contemporary, however, to warn one of the jurors that the trials would be protracted to a period which would render his death, "if game," all but certain ; and that if he were wise, he would forthwith take to his bed and send in a physician's certificate. This, our impartial journalist suggested, with an ill-disguised chuckle, would bring the prosecu tions to an abrupt termination. OPENING OF THE )RITISH anal FOREIGN INSTITUTE.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. BAIL COURT, Jun. 23. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF• LONDON. In this case Mr. KELLY, on the application of the Church wardens of St. Magnus and St. Margaret, New Fish-street Hill, moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue against the Corporation of London, for the payment of 92/., the amount of arrears for non-payment of a perpetual charge of 81. a year. The charge in question was created by Act of Parliament, in the year 1762, on the Bridge House estate, as compensation for a foot passage made under the steeple of St. Magnus Church. On the erec tion of the new bridge, the passage, not being any longer re quired, was enclosed, and the Corporation have refused pay. went of the charge on account of it since the year 1832. Rule granted. STYLES V. DULCKEN. (Before a Common Jury.) This was an antion for Lase imprisonment. Mr. Hu stritav• said that in this action James Styles was the plaintiff, and Theodore Augustus Dulcken, the husband of Madam Dulcken, the celebrated pianist, the defendant. The parties had had dealings together on various occasions relating to horses. ,Mr. Dulcken conceiving ' himself to have been defrauded in the last transaction between them gave the defendant into custody, and when be arrived at the station-house refused to make any charge. He was discharged the same day. It was on account of this imprison ment that the present action had been brought. The only de fence which Mr. Dulcken had put on the record was, that he was not guilty. It was for the jury to say, under these cir cumstances, what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to receive. John Spires examined by Mr. PLATT, on behalf of Mr. Hum frey, who had left the Ceurt—Was a police constable. On the Bth of September, while he was standing at the corner of Burwood place, Edgeware-road, Mr. Dulcken sent for him, and told him that he wished him to take a prisoner in custody for swindling him. Ho arrested Styles afterwards in the street, and then fetched Mr. Dulcken to the police-office. It ap peared from the conversation which took place that the horse had been sold by Mr. Savory, and they all three went in search of him, but in vain. Mr. Styles was discharged on his promising to meet Mr. Dulcken on the following morning to have a settlement. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Knew a public :house called the Eagle and Vul'ure. \Vent there and saw Styles and Savory come out together. Mr. Styles said that Mr. Savory was the person who sold the horse. Patrick Conolly, sergeant of police, gave similar testimony with respect to what took place at the police station. Mr. THESIGER addressed the jury for the defendant. He said when the jury were aware of the circumstances of this case, he felt confident that the plaintiff wolld he perfectly safe in their hands. Mr. Dulcken had, unfortunately for him, on a previous occasion, purchased a horse of the defendant, and had given a bill f„r a larger sum than he was bound to pay, leaving him a creditor of Mr. Styles to the amount of ten guineas. Mr. Styles, under these circum stances, recommended to Mr. Dulcken's notice a horse. Styles said the horse belonged to Mr. Savory who kept the St. Andrew's Tavern. The horse was eventually purchased for 45 guineas, a warranty being given by Mr. Savory as to its soundness. It was sent, on the day it was purchased, to Mr. Patteson, a livery stable-keeper, who immediately said that it was unsound, and not worth five guineas. The result was that the horse was sold by the defendant for 71. ss. He admitted, that under these circumstances, his client, a foreigner, took a step which could not be justified by law; but, considering the circumstances which led to it, and the slight imprisonment which took place, he thought the jury would give only a farthing damage 3. Edward Cussens (examined by Mr. THESIGER) deposed to the trial of an action for 151., brought by the defendant against Mr. Styles, in November, in which the jury returned a ver dict for 81. against the latter. Some receipts were excluded, on account of the absence of stamps. William Taylor, a coachman to the defendant, deposed to the horse being brought home. Witness took him to Mr. Patteson's stables ; who pronounced him to be a roarer. Patteson, a livery-stable keeper in Marylebone.lane, de posed to the horse being brought to his stables. He found him a roarer. St y l es at hi s stables adm i tted that he was not soun d in tee wind, and said that he did not intend that horse for Mr. Dulcken, and he should have another. Some further evidence was adduced as to the value of the horse. Mr. PLATT having addressed the jury for the plaintiff, The Learned JUDGE said the jury must of course return a verdict for the plaintiff, as the defendant had clearly acted con trary to law. They might consider, however, whether the transaction was.such - as to induce Mr. Duleken reasonably to think that he might haVe recourse to the criminal law, and by their opinion!; - this point they vould regulate the damages to be awarded.' The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 23. (Before Mr. Baron RoLr.E.) WRITS OF ERROR. The Learnel Judges of the Queen's Bench and Exchequer met this morning in the Exchequer Chamber, and announced they would sit to h ear wr it s o f error f rom the Queen's Bench on Thursday, the Ist, and from the Exchequer on Tuesday, the 6th of February. DAY V. GRUNDY. This was an action to recover 48/., th e amoun t o f a pro missory note at three months' sight. The defendants and the father of the plaintiff entered into partnership for a term of twenty-one years as saddlers' ironmongers, in Great Queen street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The partnership was dissolved in eight months, owing to the plaintiff's father being involved in pecuniary matters, and because an execution . had b een put i nto t h e h ouse, an d on the pods fi of the rm. It was proved by the evidence of the brothers - of the plaintiff that he had advanced the money to his father, who gave him the promissory note in the name of " Day and Co." It was also proved by evidence that the plaintiff, who is 24 years of age, only received Bs. a week, which, the counsel fur the defendant contended, gave him little or no opportunity of saving a single shilling, and that the promissory note was con cocted by the plaintiff and his father a few clas before the disso lution of partnership, for the purpose of involving the defendant in the matter, and ultimately obtaining his share of the amount as co-partner. It was further asserted that the obligation was one wholly unconnected with the firm, and entirety of a Ovate nature. The defendant's solicitor stated that he saw the plaintiff at a public-house in White Ilart-yard, and on asking him if the promissory note was a private or business transac tion, he stated that it was a private matter, and that a female sitting behind the bar told him to hold his tongue, and to eall his uncle to speak about the business.— Verdict for the defendant. THE STATE TRIALS. It is supposed that the Attorney• General will bring the case for the Crown to a close about Thursday or Friday next. It is said that Mr. Henn will not speak for the traversers, in consequence of being briefed with his senior, Mr. Richard Moore, the late Solicitor-General. This will be a great loss to the traversers, and a great disappointment to the public, who expected a splendid display of argument and eloquence from this eminent advocate. He is, however, unremitting in his attention, and takes a very active part in all questions of law which arise in the course of the proceedings. The order of the speakers will, we understand, be as follows— Mr. Sheil, M.P., will open for Mr. John O'Connell. Next Mr. Moore, for the Rev. Mr. Tierney. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for Mr. Duffy. Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., for Dr. Gray. Mr. M'Donogh, Q.C., for Mr. Barrett. Mr. Hatchell, Q.C., for Mr. Ray. Mr. O'Connell will dote this formidable array of forensic power, and, as you may infer, on his own behalf, but of course will not confine himself to a mere personal defence. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman will go into the entire case of the tra versers and the Association, and it is generally supposed will occupy two sitting days of the Court in the delivery of his address. He sits under the Clerk of the Crown each day, and devotes himself exclusively to the perusal of documents relating to his defence. Mr. Henn co-operates with the Member for Cork in taking copious notes of the evidence. It is right to mention that the conduct pursued by the Morning Herald, in handing over to the Government the notes of its Irish correspondent, has excited one general feel ing of disgust and indignation, not only among persons connected with the press, but also among the bar and the public. Such a proceeding is unexampled and unprecedented in the history of the newspaper press, and is not only calculated to lessen that confidence in the honour and integrity of public journalists, which is so essential to the protection of the public interests, but also to bring journalism itself into odium and con tempt.—Dublin Letter in the Advertiser.

Sta,—lt our law that " every man is to he presumed innocent, until he is proved to be guilty." Who would imagine that such a maxim was generally ad mitted, when he perused the leading articles of the Standard and Times—the first incessantly implying the guilt of Mr. O'Connell and his co-traversers, the second boldly designating them as " conspirators," and (vide Times of Monday, Jan. 2'2) " mditionistr." I am not tlisposed to raise a smile of pitying astonishment or: the countenances of your readers, by appearing to expect frog' the editors of Tory papers, even the slightest knowledge of the laws of their country, or of those of candour and justice—but surely ignorant, prejudiced, and unjust, as they may be, we are eiititled to call upon them for common decency—or, at least, requii ing that if they have not any such quality, they should pay the tribute to virtue of affecting it. I am, dear Sir, yours, PUBLICOLA. ARUNDEL, TUESDAY EVENING.—HiS Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge has been enjoying the sports of the field to-day, in company with Lord Arundel, Lords Edward and Bernard Howard, &c. The dinner party at the castle this evening will include the Duke of Richmond and Lady Caroline Lennox, W. G. K. Gratwicke, Thomas Evans, John Abel Smith, Etqrs Our bells rang a merry peal on the ar rival of hia Royal Highness on Monday evening, which gave great eclat on the occasion. We Are happy to say the Noble Duke is in the enjoyment of excellent health ; he leaves for Petworth on Thursday on a visit to Colonel Wvndham, in company with the Duke of Norfolk. The Norfolk Arms is well occupied with company on the occason. On Monday they return to town to attend to their Parliamentary duties. FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.-011 Fridov a dreadful and desperate murder was committed in Burntisland, which caused deep and general excitement arid regret amongst the inhabitants. A man named Shawn, a shoemaker we believe, who had been frequently under restraint while living previously in Berwiti, had been heard to threaten to kill several respectable indi videa!s in the town arid neighboui hood, under a mental delu sion that they were possessed of and withheld some money or property belonging to him. However, no belief seems to base been entertained that he would put any such threat into exe cution, and he was allowed to go at large. But on Friday, or the evening before, he had been seen sharpening two large pointed knives, and the Provo't being made aware of this circumstance, we have beets told by Slimau's father, he granted warrants to the town officer, named Corstorphine, to apprehend him. The latter sent to Kinghorn for Simpson, the town officer there, to assist him, and in the course of Friday forenoon they carne up to Sliman in the Links, when Corstorphine, taking hint by the arm, told him be would consider himself a prisoner. The maniac asked on what warrant; but before it could be produced, struck a knife into the officer's band, nearly cutting it in two, and in another instant ran the knife into his heart.. Corstorphine held the warrant of apprehension under his vest, and it was pierced through by the knife, in -its passage to his body. Ile fell down instantly, and died in two or three minutes. The maniac fled to his own house, where he barri caded himself in a garret ; and as it was dangerous to come near him, another officer was tent for to Kirkaldy, and the posse comitatus raised, aimed with such lethal instruments as they could lay hold of. Finding they could not easily break into his barricade, orders were then given, and slaters procured, t:, unroof the house. This proceeding had commenced, when Slitnan, imagining the egress would be now fine, undid the door and bolted down stairs ; but was fortunately secured by the officers before doing further injury to any one. Sliinan has a wife and several children in Burntisland. The officer, C,or sturphine, was unmarried, hut much respected in his office, and his untimely and tragical death is much lamented by the whole community.— Caledonian Mercury. The St. Petersburgh Journal of the Bth gives art account of the solemn celebration of the betrothal of the Grand Duchess Alexandrina Nicolaieona with Prince Frederick of Hesse. After the ceremony the august betrothed presented their thanks to their Majesties, who then received the felicita tions of all the other members of the Imperial Family. The Archbishops and the clergy celebrated a Te Deum, and when the prayer was offered up lot the health of the Imperial Family, a salvo of 31 shuts was fired from the fortress of St. Peters burgh. When the religious ceremony bad concluded, the mem bers of the Holy Synod offered their felicitations to their Ma jesties and the youtig couple. The same day a banquet was given in the Great Marble Hall to persons of both sexes of the three first classes, and in the evening there was a grand dies; ball in St. George's Hall, at which were all the Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, and great personages of the Court. The bells were kept ringing all day, and at .night the fortress and city were illuminated. REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES, BY MOVING AMEND MENTS ON SureLY IlloTions.—On the 21st of September last, Mr. W. S. Crawford, M.P. for Rochdale, addressed a letter to Mr. Joseph Sturge, proposing that au effort should be made to create a public opinion, in favour of the ancient and con stitutional principle of moving amendments on the supplies. until the people's grievances are heard and redressed. The Council of the Complete Suffrage Union to k the initiative in this matter, and appointed their President and Secretary tis visit the principal boroughs in England, to place it before the. public. The result has been, that in every town the proposal has been enthusiastically received, and upwards of thi:ty boroughs have pronounced in its favour. Mr. Crawford, we understand, feels so much encouraged by the reception his plan has met with, that be is determined to persevere with it front the commencement of the session. Mr. Fielders, M.P. for Oldham, Dr. Bowring, M.P. for Bolton, and a few other in dependent Meriabers, are to stand by him, and, to use the words of Dr. Bowrinp, constitute the " forlorn hope." Sir Robert Peel will find that he will have " chief difficulties" to contend with in more ways than one—the supply movement will bring hitn to the scratch. THE MASONIC BALI..—The annual ball in aid of the funds by which the asylum for the aged and decayed masons is supported, took place last night, in the great room at the Free masons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The attendance of company was more numerous than on any previtaist occasion, and the dancing was carried on for many hours with great spirit. The appearance of the room at twelve o'clock was particularly lively and gratifying. In the large room adjoining the ball- room, refreshments were furnished to the company on a scales of liberality and elegance by Mr. Bacon, the proprietor of tt establishment. This festival, as a whole, wal, excellently well conducted, and reflects praise on the stewards and directors of the festivities. THE QUEEN'S STAG HOUNDS.—The meet of the Royal stag hounds on Monday took place at New-lodge, Wink_ field ; the field, which numbered upwards of 150, including the Hon. C. A. Murray, several officers of the Grenadier Guards, Messrs. Stainforth, Harford, Brine, &c. A fine deer, the Vicar of Bray, which was taken at the conclusion of its first essay, this season, in a shed in the village which bears its name. was uncarted at the lodge between 11 and 12 o'clock, and afforded a fine run of upwards of three hours. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine ;was occupied on Friday with a case, in which Mine. de Castelas claimed a sues of 70,000 f. from M. Thanaron, under tke following circum stances. The Baroness de Feucheres had entrusted the edu- a C n a d s t a e f l t a e s r . wa ß rd y s h b e y r w a t i l i l o s tb h e e r I c e l l a t u t s o e the I p a r t a t 3 er ed a b s e u r m t o of 2°'tWf ti cation of her young niece Sophia Thanaron, to Mme.
