SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. As the Message of the American President shows the value which he affixes to " the liberal and friendly relations so happily existing between the two coun tries," and the King of the French specially congratu lates the Chambers on the " intimate union of France with Great Britain being drawn closer every day ;" while a confidence is expressed of the preservation of peace, which is based upon the continuance of that al liance ;—we do not doubt that the settlement, through our mediation, of the pending dispute between France and the United States, will bring the three powers even to a better understanding than has yet prevailed amongst them, and thus afford new guarantees for -the con tinuance of that general peace which is the true in terest and happiness of_all nations. The vague allu sion which Louis Philippe makes to the state of his re lations with the " European Powers," is pregnant with that dissatisfaction which he feels against the Autocrat of the North. The necessity, therefore, of marking that dissatisfaction by an emphatic declaration in favour of the throne of Isabella 11. was not avoided. It is as full as we could have wished it to be, and we rejoice the more in finding it so decisive, as more than one occasion oc curred during the last twelve months when we could not help entertaining doubts to which this decla ration has put an end. The reference, also, to fhe measures lately taken for causing greater vigilance to be observed on the Pyrenean frontiers, is in every re spect satisfactory. Although commercial restrictions of the most impolitic character still continue to limit our trade with France, nevertheless we cannot but con gratulate that country upon the high degree of prospe rity at which it has arrived. Would that both Go vernment and people were convinced that her prosperity would be doubled by a more enlarged spirit of commer cial legislation. The allusion made by the King to the recent laws for the regulation of the Press would have been more agreeable to us, if it suggested at the same time any hope that those laws would be modi fied, so far at least as the Jury system and the facility for establishing journals have been affected. It is with pain we look back upon the inroads made by these laws upon the charter ; and we observe, with un utterable disgust, the unwarrantable measures adopted by the Questors of the Chamber of Deputies, for rendering the duties of the agents of the public Press more difficult even than they were made towards the close of the last session. We trust that the President will revoke these contemptible proceedings.—Morning Chronicle. The Speech of Louis Phillippe, delivered on Tues day last, forms a curious, and not unexpected, contrast to that of Mr. President Jackson. Instead of en tering minutely and precisely into the several qnestions, foreign or domestic, which involve the national inte rests, and communicating frankly, or reasoning clearly, with regard to them, after the example of the American Message, the King of the French takes a hop-skip and-jump over the whole policy of his Government, at home and abroad, - and leaves every matter, great and small, precisely where he found it. This might an swer for a little while the ends of a mysterious and left-handed, rather than an open, system of Govern ment, could we suppose that the King of the French and his Ministers were capable of preferring trick to, magnanimity ; but what other interest or purpose could be promoted by it, we have yet to learn ; and even to the shallow game of mystification it cannot be long made subservient. For unless the national opinion be arrogantly set at nought, and the mad scheme of ruling by downright force be adopted, the solicitudes of men about their own most serious concerns must be more or less consulted ; and the interrogatories of the Chambers touching many of those important matters on which the King's speech observes a studied, and indeed a provoking, silence, must be-answereawith some decent re.srct fur truth. The dispute with America, which o.'eupies in the " Message " two full columns of powerful and. hi ;ply interesting exposition, is dis posed (or undisposed) of in the " Speech by exactly half-a-dozen lines. Two points only are referred to, even in this meaTre form, by his Majesty. Ist. The " non-execution of the treaty of July, 1831, which, to do the Kinf , justice, he regrets. 2d. The friendly mediation of the King of England, which Louis Phil lippe has accepted, "and the desire of the latter Sove reign that the dispute should." terminate in a manner equally honourable to two great nations." .Equallil honourable. we are afraid the termination of this quar rel can hardly be ; for if ever there was a conntry which seemed to run with headlong eagerness upon a course of wanton and puerile injustice, we are bound to say that such a country is France, in relation to the United- States of North America, on this question of pecuniary indemnity for an admitted - .7rong. It may have been very obliging- in Lord Palinerston to tender the " friendly mediation " of King William, but the proposal seems to have been a long time struggling with the Noble Lord for utterance, and now come' forth just at that suspicious moment when all parties are fortunate if it be not too late. Louis Philippe, however amiable and estimable in pri vate life, is perhaps, as a statesman, one of the least straightforward, personages known to modern history. 'His youth was spent amidst political per plexities. The pressure upon him was never uniform or - regular. The expediency of one moment was not that of the succeeding. Hence his life was one of iriversified shifts and small dexterities down to the hour when his harlequin leap into the calculated vacancy of the French Throne enabled him to Scapin-ize on a larger scale than he had ever before attempted. His whole reign has been a series of subtleties, ma noeuvres, and evasions, hitherto - successful. 'With a person so elaborately ruse, it is difficult to decide what may have been from the first his intention to wards the United States ; but sufficient appears to have been brought home to King Louis Philippe and his Ministers by General Jackson on the score of studied delays and unexecuted promises, to convince the most candid that more was medi tated throughout their diplomatic intercourse with the Jackson Government, on the subject of this in demnity than met the-public eye or ear. What room for mediation can be discovered in a case which has been made so thoroughly perspicuously the facts as they occurred, mid by the truth-telling statements of the Republican Chief, is more than we are able to answer. To nothing further remains for France than.to retrace her steps, and to repent of her indis cretions. There is not an inch of doubtful or dispu table ground, whereon a mediator could be called upon to exercise his judgment. If America have not yet acted upon the knowledge of Mr. Barton's last fruit less appeal to the justice and honour of the French Government, and upon his consequent return home, she will have shown exemplary moderation under cir cumstances well calculated to rouse the national resent ment : if she have so acted, the mediation may have come too late. The other portions of the King's short speech require little comment. He speaks with a degree of confidence and complacency upon the Fieschi laws against the Press, which to E ng li s h men mus t seem a little surprising. To stop the natural vent for public feeling, and satisfy discontent by gagging the expres ,sion of it, might have been characteristic of the Na poleon policy, when every murmur was drowned in the cannon's roar, and moral suffering lost amidst the agony of battle. But in the " best of republics," under the dynasty of the three days, the extinction of th e Press seems, we say, rather a strange couch for freedom to repose upon. The expedition undertaken for the security " of our African possessions" appears to have infinitely gratified the Royal mind. Would Louis Phillippe like to be reminded of the solemn assurances repeatedly given to the Duke of Wellington by the Ministers of Charles X., and afterwards con firmed by t hose o f L ou i s Philli ppe , t h at t h e Al ger i nc territory s hould not become a permanent French " possession ?" But Lord Palmerston is a different guess personage to deal with from the Duke of Wel lington.—Times. Our observations upon the Message of the Ame rican President to Congress having been written on Wednesday night, before the arrival of the Speech of the King of the French to the Chamber of Deputies, we were not aware of the fact that the British Govern ment had offered its mediation between the Govern ments of France and America. We therefore put the subject hypothetically. We asked " will England allow herself to be made the cat's-paw of the Court of the Tuileries—will her kind offices with the stern Re nublican be solicited? Have they been solicited,al - ? Have they been conceded ? If so, might not the English Government be better employed in pro tecting the interests of Great Britain, which have been so shamefully neglected, than in interfering in the dis putes of France and America ?" The supposition has already become fact. The crafty Louis Philippe, who some time ago made so egregious a " cat's-paw" of our Noble Foreign Secretary, in relation to Belgian -affairs, is now about to honour him in a similar manner. Only, in this instance, the " mediation," unlike that which was signalised by the Anglo- Gallic Convention, and the murderous siege of Antwerp, is not to be a fighting mediation. No ; we presume that even Lord Palmerston is not foolish enough to involve this country i n a " peace f u l wa r" with America for the promotion of the interests of the French King. We say the French King, for so long as Louis Phillippe reigns for his own aggrandisement, and tramples upon the principles of the Charter, we cannot identify his interests with those of France. With regard to the American question Louis Philippe says, " I regret that the treaty of July 4, 1831, with the United States of America, has not been able yet to receive its complete execution. The King of Great Britain has offered to me, as well as to the United States, his friendly mediation. I have accepted it ; and you will partiCipate in my desire that this difference may be terminated in a manner equally honourable to two great nrtions." What caused the difference ? What created the difficulty in the way of the execution of the treaty ?—The dishonesty of the French Govern ment, who refused to pay a debt acknowledged to be due, until the American President was compelled to apply strong language to the shuffling conduct of that Government. For that strong language an apo logy has been demanded of the American President. He repeats his demand for payment, and most posi tively refuses to submit to the degradation of making any apology. Will Lord Palmerstbn work an apo logy out of him to save the " honour and dignity of France" by bringing dishonour and degradation upon America? Credat Judaus. He who crouches in supple submission before the Autocrat of Russia, will not induce the President of the American Republic to humble himself before Louis Phillippe, and ask par don of the " King of the Barricades" for insisting upon his paying what he owed. In other respects the Speech of the King of the French is a most meagre and uninteresting production. He says, " I was deeply affected with the sentiments which France manifested towards thyself and family, when, at a moment which it is painful to remember, Providence deigned to pre serve to me a life for ever devoted to the service of my country." What was the reward of France for the expres. 7 sion of that sympathy which so deeply affected the grate ful and sincereheart of Louis Philippe? The subversion of the liberties of France by the atrocious Fieschi laws. This was the reward of French loyalty—though it looks more like a punishment for a French rebellion. The isolated crime of one or two ruffians is seized upon as a pretext to rob a whole people of their political and civil rights. The national expression of loyalty is ad mitted from the throne, but it is visited by the acts of the Government and a corrupt Chamber as a national crime. Foi- had France rebelled, and been defeated by the Royal power, the Fieschi laws ought to have ... satisfied the vengeance of the King. If those laws be proofs of Louis Philippe's gratitude to au affec tionate and confiding people, the French must be the most silly of mankind if they continue to de serve any more such proofs of - Royal gratitude ! The only other point worth noticing is the clap-trap introduction of the allusion to the expedition to Mas cara, which we must take the liberty of saying termi noted in a most dis.raceful manner for French glory as well as humanity% The King says, "An expedition un dcrtaleil for the security of our possessions in Africa has lysel, tonatx,tell and ace.comilisileLlas.... tio maLugiti , to the honour of Mance. It is with emon trati;',7tr---; held the eldest of my family share &iiardsciipsl;:d dangers of onr brave soldiers." The mclo-dramatic expedition to Mascara was got up for this very occa sion ; but we believe its results were much more tra gical to the conquerors than the despatches, " doc tored" as they were by the Camarilla, have given the world to understand. The destruction of Mascara subsequently to its capture was an act •of indefensible barbarity, and reflects the greatest disgrace upon the French am is. Enough of truth has peeped forth from the drapery of French gasconade to convince us that the military glory of the " great-nation" will not de rive much additional lustre from the run-away conquest of Mascara, for a run-away conquest it most assuredly was. Abdel Icader's - dominions were evidently too hot for the French legions, and they made as rapid a re treat out of them as the rallying and pursuing enemy would allow.—Morning Herald. AN ELECTIONEERING FIDDLER.—An 'unsuc cessful candidate in Ohio ascribes the loss of his election to the circumstance' that his opponent had taken the field against him with a fiddle. The latter politician, it seems, set the whole constituency incontinently to dancing, until they became so charmed by his music, that they gave him all their votes. This fellow would be invaluable to the Tammany party at this season of its calamity, and it would be well worth while to import him for the special purpose of harznoniziag the pugnacious elements of that virtuous concern. -He might fiddle together the whole disjecta nzenzbra, loco focos and all, and set them to dancing a fa mily jig in concert, according to the " usages of the Re publican party." W 6 doubt not that Job Haskell and the venerable shoemaker, now doing battle for infidelity at Euterpian Hall, have "music in their soles".—New York Paper. Mr. Sharpe, the ventriloquist, who performed (kiting the last season at Vauxhall-gardens, and was afterwards en gaged at the Collosseum, was the other evening suddenly deprived of his reason, at his residence, 48, Tothill-street, Westminster. It appears that, after having returned home, he had not been long in his apartment before he started from his scat, and exclaimed—" I am a Blood Red Knight." He then strutted backwards and forwards, and conducted himself in a most strange manner. He afterwards corn plained of a headache, and said that the pavement was rolling under his feet ; he at length became exceedingly violent to his wife, towards whom he had previously exhibited the greatest kindness, and he passed a restless night. On the following day Mr. Newman, a professional friend and com panion, called at his residence, and found him labouring un der the above delusion ; and, on his entering the apartment, he seized thepoker, and, making a desperate rush at him, attempted to strike him on the head, declaring that he would dash out his brains, as he had set his father's house on fire ; and had not Mr. Newman run down stairs, the consequences, no doubt, would have ended fatally to him. Mr. Sharpe was immediately placed under restraint, and conveyed to Bethlehem hospital, where he has been during the last week in a deplorable condition. His wife, who has been exceedingly ill ever since, is left with three children, at her residence, in a state of great distress. A wherry was upset near Bembridge last Sunday evening, by which six persons were drowned. Every ex ertion was made by the Preventative Service and others to save the unfortunate individuals from a watery grave, but without effect.—Brighton Guardian. A shocking murder has been committed by an Ame rican master of a merchantman, from Smyrna, which put into the Tagus from distress, upon his cook, a Maltese, by shooting away his nether jaw, and then confining him in the hold of the vessel, without food or assistance, until he died. The matter has been investigated by the British and American authorities here, and if proved, will display an act of inhuman cruelty such as was hardly ever heard of. The man murdered was a British subject.—Lisbon Letter, Dec. 19. NEW YEAR'S DAY.—New Year's gifts are of an cient origin. Honest old Latimer, instead of presenting Henry VIII. with a purse of gold, as was customary, put into his hand a New Testament. The wardrobe and jew ellery of Queen Elizabeth were chiefly supported by these presents, which she received ftom her apothecary and at tendants down to the cook, but made suitable returns. Pins on this day were acceptable to the ladies instead of the wooden skewers which they used till the end of the fifteenth century': Sometimes they received a compensa tion in money, from which the allowances for their sepa rate use is still denominated "pin money." Gloves were customary New Years' Gifts. They were more expensive than in our time. Sometimes a present was tendered in stead, and this was called "glove money." An accident, similar to that which happened on the Serpentine, in Hyde-p ar k, L on d on , occurre d on Saturday last at Lyons, where the ice broke suddenly near the Pont de Tilsit, and all the persons who were upon it at the time were submerged. The greater part of them were saved, but it is feared that four or five were drowned. The late severe frost began to abate in the course of Monday night, in Paris, and the next day a general and rapid thaw came on. The work done by machinery in England is calcu lated to equal what would be the labour of 400,000,000 of men. TICE SUN LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1836, WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced this morning before Mr. RawLiNsoN (the Chairman), Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, and a Bench of Magistrates. Upon the Grand Jury being sworn, the CHAIRMAN in his address observed, that so short a period had elapsed since the last sessions as to render the calendar very light. Thomas Ball, aged 29; a private in the Scotch Fusileer Guards, was indicted for stealing, on the 9th of December, a pocket-book, of the value of I ls., the property of Mr. Stocken, of Regent-street. The prosecutor resides at No. 53, Regent-street, and carries on the business of a stationer. About eight o'clock in the evening of the day in question, the prisoner came into the shop and said he wanted a pair of eightpenny scis sors. Witness replied, " I told you last week I had none under a shilling." On which the prisoner said that he would look at them. Witness then produced the drawer containing the scissors, and which the prisoner looked at. While examining the articles, Mr. Stocken came from the parlour, and desired the prisoner to take out of his pocket the article which he had stolen. The prisoner then took out of his pocket the book. Witness then observed that he had no doubt of his having stolen an ink-stand the week before, as he missed one directly after he had left the shop. The prisoner replied he had never beeh there before. A constable was sent for, but before his arrival the prisoner ran away, but was pursued and taken into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, was requested to purchase a pair of scissors by a comrade, and went into the prosecu tor's shop ; he merely took up the book to - look at, and had no idea of stealing it. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner was again indited for stealing, on the 20th of November, a tooth-pick case of the value of 18s., the property of William Henry Foukes. The prosecutor resided at No. 15, Burlington Arcade. On the evening of the 20th of November, the prisoner came into his shop, and asked to look at some common razors and scissors, which he wanted to purchase for his Sergeant. The prisoner, however, bought nothing, saying he would call on the following day with his Sergeant. About three weeks after, witness missed the case, and he neither saw nor heard anything more of it until the 11th of December, when West, a police-constable, called on him and produced several articles, none of which belonged to witness. The case was then produced, and which witness identified as his property. Sergeant West, of C division of police, deposed to going to the prisoner's lodgings, and on searching them, found in a box the toothpick-case and a quantity of other articles, all of which were produced. The prisoner denied the robbery. The father-in-law of the prisoner, in September and Oc tober, had repeatedly seen the case which the prisoner was charged with stealing. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. He was then sentenced to be imprisoned for six months for the first offence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE. A young man, named John Burdett, was brought before Alderman FAREBROTHER, the locum tenons for the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a basket of clothes from an old man named Alexander Robertson. Jacob Barnet stated that between twelve and one o'clock on Christmas Day, he saw an old man in Gracechurch street, apparently tipsy carrying a basket of clothes. The old . man found a difficulty in getting along on account of the crowd, and the prisoner walked up, took the basket off his shoulders, deliberately turned round, and went off in a dif ferent direction. Witness instantlymentioned the Circum stance to an officer, whO apprehended the prisoner. Robertson, a feeble man, about 70 years old, stated that his sister, a washerwoman put a basket of clothes on his shoulder, and told him to carry them to the house of his brother, the owner of the King's Head public-house, in Little Eastcheap. As he went along the prisoner, whom he knew nothing about, told him the basket was too heavy for him, and offered to carry it for him. He said, " Very well, do," and the prisoner took the basket, turned to the right about, and ran off. Witness was neither able to follow nor to cry oat. The prisoner said the oia gentreinan'and all the rest were mistaken in his person. The fact was, he was standing at lower Nt nublic-houe, when a man offered him a listance, and shilling to carry the groxvt desired him to walk on the other sii Alderman FAREBROTHER-Why did you not point out : the man to the officer? Yrisoner-L—Depend upon it the thief made his escape the moment be saw the officer. It's a way they Lave that steals. Committed to Newgate for trial. the two young gentlemen) bleeding from the lip. The po lice took him and Mr. Shepherd, a friend who had resisted the rough treatment directed against him, to the station house, and, ultimately, both were locked up. It was quite false to charge him with being intoxicated. He told the in spector he was a respectable man, and offered to send for the gentleman with vvhom he had spent the evening, and whose house he had just left, before entering the Saigon to look for his nephews. The inspector would not take any notice of what he urged, and refused to receive bail, and he was compelled to pass the night in a cell in which were pro miscuously , placed felons and drunkards. He considered he had been rather ill-used by the inspector, who would not, take the charges of assault made by his brothers and ne phews against the frequenters of the Saloon. Inspector Dewing, with some warmth, denied the impu tation of partiality. He did not take the charge of assault, because the other party asserted that the young gentlemen were the aggressors. The nephews of Mr. Mason, who were present, came forward, and said when they wetft into the Saloon the waiter or manager quarrelled with them because they called for brandy and water. The man said brandy and water would not pay him, they ought to order champagne or some sort of wine. Their father and uncle came in to get them out of the place, upon which a number of fel lows made an attack on all the party,. and forcibly expelled them. One of the young gentlemen appeared to think some partiality had been shown by the police in the mat ter. The police would not take any chage against the Saloon 'people ; and when his father, whose lip had becii so badly cut that he was unable to come forward, wished to make a complaint, he was pushed out of the station-house, and told if he did not mind what he was about be should be locked up. Inspector Dewing replied he knew none of the parties. The charge of assault he had not received for the reason be fore assigned, but he had caused the name and address of the party charged to be entered in the customary manner in the refused charge book. With respect to the refusal of bail, it was the practice not to take bail in cases of drun kenness, and he was certain Mr. Mason was not 'sober. Mr. CHAMBERS said it was a very proper course for Mr. Mason to take, when he found his nephews had gone into such a vile place, to endeavour to get them out as soon as possible ; and, under all the circumstances, as he could not but think the inspector had been mistaken with regard to his sobriety ; he should order him to be discharged. Inspector Dewing having remarked, that it "was a com mon occurrence for persons to baill-used in the house, Mr. CHAMBERS ordered the clerk to take down the words, and then asked the inspector if he had ever made any com plaint to the parish authorities, or to the Commissioners, on the subject ? The inspector replied he had not. Mr. CHAMBERS then requested Mr. Mason would call on the Commissioners, and make them acquainted with the shameful outrage which had occurred. The place was a public nuisance, and he was resolved to take strong steps to abate it, as soon as he could procure sufficient evidence. Mr. Shepherd was then fined 20s. for the assault on the police. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Lea, the officer, exhibited to the Hon. G. C. NORTON, the sitting Magistrate of the day, three massive gold neck chains, which no doubt formed a portion of the valuable property stolen from the warehouse of, Messrs. Hall and C 0..; on Custom-house Quay, in February last, and which were found under the following odd circum stances : From the statement of . Lea it appeared that-the pot-boy at the Red Lion Tavern, King-street; Bloomsbury, being of course' aware of the finding - of the- -valuable jewels in the fire-place of the room in that house which-William Jourdan (one of the men in custody for the Custom House robbery) lrad occupied for several days in that house, took it into his head to go up the chimney of the Mole room, in the hope of discovering further treasure. He, accordingly, on Tues day morning last prepared himself by stripping off all his clothes to his shirt and trowsers, and having provided, him self with a lighted candle, with some difficulty squeezed himself through the fire-place and up the chimney. He had not proceeded far when he perceived on a small ledge, from three to four feet up, a small bag drasin tight at the top, with something heavy in it. He instantly descended with it, and on untying it he found the contents to be the three chains now produced: They were, however, so black with the smoke, from a fire being in the room almost conti nually since Thursday, that it required some pains to wash them. Mr. NORTON—I am somewhat surprised, Lea, with . your general caution and attention in such matters, that you did not examine the fire-place minutely when you ap prehended Jourdan. I must own that I felt astonished that you did not do so. Lea—l did, Sir, examine it as minutely as possible, though I did not recollect the circumstance, when men tioning to Mr. Hardwick the fact of the jewels having been found. I have since recollected, perfectly well, taking the ornamental paper out of the grate, and saw that at that time there was nothing in it. Mr. Billing, a gentleman be longing to the Custom House, was with me at the time, and that gentleman has not only since reminded me of the fact of my having examined the fire-plaCe, but would depose to the fact. I cannot account in any other way for the jewels falling into the fire than from supposing that they had been hung up the chimney by Jourdan, and the fire, when lit, having burned the string, or whatever they had been suspended by, they dropped into the grate, and were burned in the manner before described. Mr. NORTON (looking at the chains)—These are evi dently of foreign manufacture. Have you any reason to think that they form any portion of the jewels stolen ? Lea have no doubt whatever of it, Sir, for among the pro perty were nine gold chains of Spanish manufacture, some of which were precisely of a similar description to those found. He (Lea) further proceeded to state that Mr. Smart, a gentleman in Winchester -street, in the city, would be able to speak with accuracy to the chains produced being a part of the property, as the whole of it had passed through his hands on his valuing it previous to its being deposited in the warehouse from which it had been stolen. The officer then left, for the purpose of seeing Mr. Smart, and had not retured when the Office closed. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Yesterday two individuals of respectability, named Mason and Shepherd, were put to the bar before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged in the police-sheet with having been " drunk and disorderly" the over-night. Police Constable Drane said be was called about four o'clock in the morning to a disturbance at the Royal Saloon, Piccadilly, and when he got into the room he found about fifteen or twenty persons fighting together and making a very great riot, and and amongst the most active appeared to be the two defendants. He laid hold of Shepherd, and was then struck several times by, that gentleman, but he contrived to get him out of the Saloon, and to cause him to be lodged in the station-house. Several constables hav ing collected at the place in consequence of the disturbance, the defendant Mason was also secured, he being then in toxicated. - M2lClason, in answer to the charge, made the following statement. He had b een spen di ng th e even i ng w i t h fa mily party, in company . with his brother and his brother's two sons, and on learning that, at four o'clock in the morn ing, the two young gentlemen, with their friend, Mr. Shep herd, had gone to the Saloon, in Piccadilly, he and his bro ther had gone to the room for the purpose of bringing the young gentlemen away from that receptacle of profligate and disreputable characters. O n entering the roo m b e found his nephews were engaged in an altercation with some person who belonged to the Saloon, and who was ab us i ng the young gen tlemen for calling for brandy and wat er an d cigars instead of some kind of wine. He desired his ne phews to pay for what they had called for, and to come away. Immediately about half-a-dozen well-dressed fellows, apparently a gang of bullies, having some sort of connection with the Saloon, rushed towards the party, and began a ruffianly attack on them. They were all thrust into the street, very much beaten, one of his nephews bleeding from the blows he had received, and his brother (the father of CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Prince of Wales, Exeter-street, Sloane-street, Chelsea, before Mr. STIR LING, on view of the body of Mr. John Hibberd, aged sixty-three, whose death took place under the following cir cumstances . Maria Gibson, housekeeper to the deceasnd, whose resi dence was at No. 25, Sloane -street, deposed that on Mon day evening last her master retired to bed in his usual health. On Tuesday morning witness knocked at his bed-room door, as was her custom, for the purpose of calling him to breakfast; but received no answer; thinking he slept sounder than usual, she retired, and about ten o'clock again went to his room, but not making him hear, she became alarmed, and having spoken to the butler, he burst the door open, when the deceased was found dead in bed. Mr. Gaskele, the deceased's medical attendant, was immediately sent for, and attributed his death to an attack of apoplexy. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." Another inquest was held by the same Coroner at the Royal Standard, Star -street, Paddington, on view of the body of Mrs. Elizabeth, Nash, an elderly lady, who was found dead in her bed. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased lived ,upou hoe income, and resided at , 3137:Mitti root; On Tuesday 'evening her attendant saw her in bed, at which time she was in her usual health. On the following morn ing the maid knocked at her door, but receivin,gno answer she entered the'room, and then discovered her mistress, ap parently lifeless, in bed. On the arrival of 'a surgeon, he declared her to have been dead,some hours. Verdict— " Natural Death." A third inquest was held at the Brazen_ Head, Upper Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, on view of the body of James Green, aged four years, whose death was caused by drink ing boiling water out of a tea-ketae. Verdict—" Acci dental Death." On Tuesday last an inquest was held in the King's Bench Prison, on the body of laMes TaYlor, a debtor con fined in that prison, aged 55 years. . Elizabeth Briton deposed that she had lived for sixteen years with the deceased, who had always enjoyed good health until within the last two months. His illness com menced on his surrendering to prison. Mr. Davis said that he had attended the deceased, and considered the imprisonment to have been the cause of the deceased's illness ; when he entered the prison, two months before, he was quite well. Another medical witness con curred in this opinion. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased " Died by the Visitation of God ;" but added, that it was their opi nion, from the evidence adduced, that the imprisonment of the deceased had accelerated his death, the deceased having entered the prison two months ago in perfect health, and continually complained of the sufferings of his mind by im prisonment. - INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

AN OBITUARY degredegree remarkable,O T if elevated and AcY. 11l n oconspicuous —lt is as may be the sphere in which personages of rank have moved, how little is really and accurately known of their immediate connexions, their domestic circle, &c. Dun - - dale, in compiling• his elaborate Baronetage, which is said to have occupied full thi rty years , comp l a i ne d ( an d a ll en gaged in similar pursuits will acknowlege the justice of the complaint) that oue,of-the greatest difficulties he had to en counter was to obtain accurate information regardmg• those who lived and died in his own time. To remedy this defi ciency, and, at the same time, to give increased value and interest to the Court Journal, the editor has determined to introduce into its columns a series of necrological memoirs of distinguished individuals from exclusive sources of infor mation, which cannot fail to prove a source of gratification to the more refined classes. The first number of this fashionable journal containing this new feature will appear to-morrow, and comprise accurate accounts of Lord Brome, Sir George Cornwall, Bart., Sir J. James Hamilton, Bart., Lady Henrietta A. Wynn, Sir Colquhoun Grant and Lord Warde. ELOPEMENT, CHASE, AND CAPTURE OF THE FAIR FUGITIVE.—The neighbouring town of Morpeth was a few days since thrown into a state of great excitement, in consequence of the sudden, and at first somewhat myste rious disappearance of a young Lady from her home, who was afterwards discovered to have eloped with her lover, a sprightly young gallant, who had run off with her, in order that they might be summarily united in the silken bands of matrimony. The anxious couple flew on the wings of love as far as Nottingham at one spell, and there the marriage ceremony was about to be performed ; but on equqlly swift, though less ardent, wings had flown a friend or guardian of the fair, who succeeded in defeating the ob ject of the fugitives ; but the enamoured pair, upon learn ing his arrival, again took wing, and rested not till they reached York. They took up their quarters, we find by the York Chronicle, at the York Tavern. " Unluckily," says our contemporary, " the protector was close at their heels, and having procured the assistance of Mr. Pardoe, chief police-officer of this city, they reached the tavern to gether, when the Lady slipped her temporary bond, and seated herelf in - the shop of Mr. Terry, immediately oppo site, and, whilst Mr. Pardoe was in conversation with the guardian, Lothario sprang out of the window, and joined his fair companion. Pardoe, however, was not easily to be done ; he caught the scent, followed the game, an d lieli vered her in safety to her pursuer. Lothario ordered a c haise immediately for Easingwold (per previous contract) but the pursuer ordered another ; taking the 'young Lady with him by the way of Boroughbridge, and this union has so far been prevented.".—Kelso Warder. CITY ANTIQUITIES. During the recent excavations in the City, more particu larly for the formation of the sewerage in Newgate-street, and the foundation of the new school at Honey-lane Mar ket, a great variety of interesting relics of antiquity have been discovered by the workmen, which, viewed collectively, throw a great deal of light upon the .ancient history of the metropolis. A large number of these specimens have been placed in the very extensive geological museum of Mr. Saull, in Aldersgate-street, a gentleman of great antiquarian and scientific research, and which he has chronologically arranged, forming a very interesting and connected series of illustrations. The excavations in Newgate - street, carried on to a depth of about 30 feet below the surface, went un derneath the whole of the foundations of the ancient cities, and above the solid diluvium, left by deposition from the river, there were observed the successive debris of the Bri tish, Roman, and later London. The lowest was repeatedly seen at a depth of between 19 and 20 feet below the sur face, consisting of cinders and charcoal, the probable rem nants of the destruction by fire of the rude wigwams or wooden huts, forming the first settlement of our British an cestors, where likewise a great quantity of human bones were found. Above these were found specimens of Roman and Samian pottery, consisting' of vases, lachrymatories, am phone, &c., many of which are in a fine state of preserva tion, retaining in legible characters the names of the makers. Coins of the Emperors Constantius, Constantinus Pius, Antoninus Pius, Nero, &c., a large quantity of vitrified tiles, &c. Near the end of Newgate-street, approaching to Snowhill, at a depth of about twenty feet, the workmen met with an obstruction, which, from the hardness of the materials, for some time impeded their labours, and which, on examina tion, was found to consist of large solid blocks of chalk, ce mented with an infrangible kind of grouting. On penetrat ing through, they entered a large magazine of human bones, loosely impacted together. From the direction of this wall, and the position of the bones not leading to the idea that this was a place of sepulture, the probable conjecture is that it was an ancient City boundary, and that the latter are the relics of an army, who, attempting to force the portals, and perishing there, had been loosely covered over. In the ex cavations at Cheapside, at a depth of about 18 feet, em bedded amongst many pieces of pottery and tiles, and what is supposed to have been the ruins of a Roman dwelling, was found a skull, now in Mr. Scull's collection, in a re remarkably fine state of preservation, but which, phrenolo gically speaking, from the absence of the intellectual and great predominance of the animal organs, can give no ex alted ideas of the moral character of the people to which the possessor belonged, the bead being more like that of a Carib than of one of the natives of modern Europe. In the excavations at Honey-lane Market, likewise, a great many human bones have been found, in all probability of very great antiquity, from the immense quantity of Saxon coins which were also discOvered there. Near the same spot were also discovered a great variety of tiles and pave ' ments, of the period of the Plantagenets, many of which, from the inscriptions on them, must have formed the foun dation of some sacred place. From the chronological ar rangements, and founded on these data, it would appear that the site of London must have been raised at least 20 feet from its first foundation, the ground occasionally rising by the aid of floods from the river, but the debris being most materially increased by conflagrations to which the city was formerly so subject; and particularly at the great fire. A few days ago the following tragical event took place at Alencon :—An individual, named Besnard Saint Marc, of independent property, had invited to come and reside at Alencon his brother, who was married, and lived in Paris, but had been unfortunate in business. It is sup posed that this was done not so much to oblige his brother as to bring his sister-in-law near to him. Whether from the refusal of his brother to give him an acknowledgment for some money advanced, or-from the disdain of his sister n-law, it is not known, but he went to their house, and with a poniard attempted to assassinate the woman. The wounds were not mortal, and at her cries a neighbour ran to her assistance ; but St. Marc, presenting a loaded pistol, forced him to retire. At thp moment of the neighbour's going away a shot was heard, and St. Marc was seen to fall ; but 'on penetrating into the house people were asto nished at finding no traces of the man, who, it is supposed, having been only slightly wounded, had made his escape. All attempts to find him have hitherto been without suc cess ; it is said that be had sold all his property, and that, he is endeavouring to leave the country. He was a young man_ of a ifte c _aia . racter, and this aborratioai_.E..l.l.,_ compassion. meet S wit: COMMERCIAL PROSPERITY.— A gentleman in Edinburgh, just returned from a commercial tour in the English manufacturing districts, mentions-to us, that at no former period, or at least for many yeass, has there been such briskness in nearly all the departments of manufac tures as at the present moment. Many of the manufac turers and merchants have orders on hand which it would require twelve months to execute. Some are literally re fusing orders for goods, and not sending out their travel lers, but transacting business by letter. , A vast quantity of the goods now preparing is for the United States of Ame rica ; the stagnation of trade in that country, caused by the agitation of . the Bank question, having been succeeded iby a corresponding activity in all kinds of traffic. As an s of the present briskness in the iron and hardware departments, we are told that a merchant the other day received an order from America for 1,0001. worth of nails, which he could get no nail manufacturer to begin executing sooner than three ,months afterwards. Such accounts as those are exceedingly gratifying, and we are glad to say that a similar healthful demand is in operation for several Of "our Scotch Manufactures. The manufacture of paper, which is principally carried on at Mid Lothian, is at present in great activity. The demand for both writing and print ing papers, particularly the latter, is daily increasing, and would be still greater if the question as to the reduction of the duty were fully settled, which we hope it will soon be. —Scotsman. A HORRIBLE VILLAIN.—The Natchez Daily Courier of the 6th of November states that a being named William H. Short, who had been an inhabitant of one of the penitentiaries of the western States, but was liberated on account of his good behaviour, hired himself as a wood chopper to a man near Natchez a few weeks since ; that he worked in the woods some time, then pretended sickness as an excuse to return to, and sleep in, his employer's ' house ; that he was permitted to sleep in the room with the son of his employer ; that he arose in the night and went out several times ; that he at last came in, struck a blow with an axe at his room mate, which lighted upon his forehead, stunned, but did not kill him ; that he next went into the room of his employer, attempted to cut his throat, and partly succeeded ; that he stabbed him several times in the temple and about the head, and with an axe broke several ribs and the wrist of his wife ; that the son, in the meantime, recovering from the effects of the blow he had received, and hearing screams from the room of his father and mother, seized a musket and rushed down stairs, when the villain, perceiving a man coming upon him armed, fled, carrying- with him, however, the contents of the, musket, which was loaded with shot ; that he fled naked, and got off beyond the reach of pursuit. A few days afterwards, Short offered hiS services as a wood chopper to a man living about Point Coupee, 1.50 miles from Natchez. On going out to look at the woods where he was to work, Short walked behind his new employer, raised his axe, and killed him at his feet. He then returned to the house, in which there was no one except an old negro woman, whom lie attempted to kill. She got clear of him and fled. He then robbed the house of what articles he wanted and went off. An alarm was raised, and he was soon after taken, when the facts being proved against him he was permitted to make a confession, and was then hanged. In his con fession, which is to be published, he stated that he would have killed any man for five dollars.—New York Paper. CHARRING OF ANIMAL SUBSTANCES.—A pam phlet, published at Florence, gives an account of a strange discovery by Girolamo Segato (known by his maps of Tus cany, Africa, and Morocco), the general accuracy of which is attested by the principal professors in that city. It ap pears that Segato, while traversing the deserts of Africa in 1820, for the purpose ,of perfecting his map, discovered in one of the hollows which a whirlwind had ploughed up, a completely charred human body, the flesh and bones of which were in good preservation. It struck him instantly that the process of charring could only have been effected by the scorching sand, and that if the heat of the sand had, in this instance, effected the complete desiccation and car bonization of animal substances, it might be possible to ef fect something similar by artificial means. On his return to Italy he commenced his practical experiments, and at length succeeded in imparting to the limbs and bodies of animals solidity and indestructible durability. By this process whole bodies, as well as individual parts, acquire a thoroughly firm consistence which is more perceptible and decided ac cording as the respective parts are harder or softer. The skin, muscles, nerves, veins, fat, blood, all undergo this change, without its being necessary to remove the intestines, which assume the same consistence. At the same time the colour, form, and character in general remain unchanged ; no smell is perceptible, and both joints and limbs remain flexible and moveable, as when alive. When bodies have acquired this consistency, neither damp, air, moths, nor water, can affect them. The weight is but slightly dimi nished. Not a hair is lost ; on the contrary, they are rooted more firmly than ever. Birds and fishes lose nei ther skins, scales, nor colours ; and in like manner insects and worms remain in every respect. Segato's.cabinet con tains many curious specimens of this novel and singular discovery. One of the most remarkable is a table corn poSed of two hundred and fourteen pieces joined together. The observer would take them for so many different kinds of stone, and yet they are nothing more than portions of the human members. THE MARKETS.

SEA&ON..--A few nights ago, at the village of H., iiot ten miles from Knares borough, a party met in the stall of a son of Crispin for the purpose of wiling away the gloom of a winter evening, by recounting their village news. Among other topics the unprofitableness of fatting swine was discussed. There was in the company, however, one of the swinish multitude, who asserted that no pig's flesh was ever found so fat, but he could eat it, and wash it down with warm new milk. Such an opportunity of beholding the gormandizing powers of this two-legged hog was too rich to be lost, and accord ingly a quarter of a pound of the fattest bacon that could be. procured was provided, and with it a basin of warm milk. Another of the company, in order to heighten the treat, offered to add to the mess three pinta of ale, if the glutton would swill them in 15 minutes. This was also accomplished, and the enormous masticator offered to take, by way, of a dessert to the whole, a jack of linseed oil. This was sent for, but the caterer took the liberty of pur veying train oil instead. Sueh was the delicate perceptions of this gourmand's organs of taste, that placing the itussian vessel of deliciousness to his lips > -having first wished the company 1 ' . he gliped . l . the whole of the without perceiving the difference, and actu ally offered to add the same modicum of the rancid beverage he had unwittingly swallowed. The company, however, had had sufficient proof of his monstrous capabilities, and declined adding to the quantity of hog wash- he had already taken.— York Courant. i ( A DVEATISEXLEXT.3 POWERFUL MUSICAL BOX,ES, in wood cases, 12 inches long, by 5 inches wide, each playing Four Airs, with the music finished in a very superior manner, are offered for Five Guineas each.
