• SPILUT 07 TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times, we understand, complains of the attacks mule against its honesty, consistency, and so forth. This, it is observed, might be a fair ground for attack if a claim for honour or onesty were advanced. The Times possesses the c haracter suitcd to its trade, and that amount of honesty which is even indispensable to the vocation of the thief or the bravo. There may not be one public man who has not praised at one period by the Times for the very conduct for which he was abused at another. But the bravo does not scruple to earn his reward by directing his steel against the bosom of him ,who may have beep before his employer. The only question in such a case, it The is said, instrument is, b ment must as the pulated -work been done ? • be adapted for the work ; and the .opponents of the ,Times render it great service by proclaiming Yo those who require unscrupulous tools where Way are readily to be found. Men who needed the a'(l or Ikev Solomon s d id not applyto the High Priest ford c haracter of him. The beaut iful lad y for p overful intercession was made at the time whom such 4was in trouble, did not owe her M. Ernest de Mire/ 211 r. influence with the aristo:ra9 to the frequency of her attendance at church or chap2l. • It is said of a well known character, that when, on his s-.lcceeding in trac ing some foul practices to the author, he w"." orged to expose and punish him, he answered, " 0 no ; he is now in my power, and I will use him." No Orson of our times possesses more knowledge of the world than Lord Lyndhurst. His knowledge is not the b u t practical. It has been said of his Lordship, that from experience he could draw " each scene of many coloured life." In no one respect , perhaps, does the Noble and Learned Lord display his knowledge of hu man nature more than in the selection of his instru ments. Sir Robert Walpole used to say, that some Yuen were so awkward that they would offer to bribe an old miser with a fine woman, and a young rake with a sum of money. Lord Lyndhurst knows his men, and his men know him. No person in our alay has been so eulogised by the Times as Lord Lynt burst. Another ex-Chancellor was long the idol of our Contemporary of Printing-house-square. But the present god of the idolatry of the Times has, both di rectly and indirectly, through Runnymede D'lsraeli, been placed on the very highest pedestal in fame's temple. His Lordship and the Times have a perfect understanding of each other. That understanding is not of yesterday. When the Duke of Wellington of fered to give destruction h of the Constitution, Lord Lyndhurst was not the man to fail him, for a mere matter of prin ciple ; but, as is well known, disgrace was all that the party reaped on that first endeavour to conform. On that occasion the Noble and Learned Lord requited his obligation .to the Times in the following manner His Majesty requested me to invite my Noble Friend to call on him on Saturday ; I did so ; and thus my mis sion terminated.—(Great cheering.). It is for this, my Lords, of which I have now given you a full and faithful narration, that I have been traduced, maligned, and ca lumniated.—(Clieers.) It is for this I have been traduced and vilified by the periodical press, which now reigns para mount throughout the land, unrestrained by Government. (Great cheering.) My Lords, I should be ashamed to be a Minister of the Crown one hour, and suffer the Times newspaper to go unprosecuted.—(Continued cheering.) I should conceive that I had been guilty of treason to my Sovereign if I overlooked its flagrant abuse of majesty and of your Lordships.—(Great cheering.) I should feel that Iliad forgotten what I owe to your Lordships, and to a Sovereign, and a free Constitution.—(Continued cheering.) As far as relates to myself, I despise these publications.- - (Enthusiastic cheering.) They may wound me, and wound me deeply too, through connections which are dear to me ; but, as far as I am myself concerned, I meet them with ineffable contempt."—(Loud and continued cheering.) Good man—he cared nothing for himself—but the flagrant abuse of majesty—that was quite another affair. Treason to his Sovereign I Not for the world would he have overlooked it. His Lordship's loyalty was then quite rampant ; but abuse of himself had, of course, no influence on the acuteness ,of his feelings for wronged majesty. It is Jonathan Wild who says that wickedness is too valuable to be thrown away ; and, if we are not mistaken, the great author of Jonathan Wild ridicules the idea of sacrificing con venience to unprofitable indignation. The flagrant abuse of ingjesty was a recommendation of the Times to the Noble and Learned Lord. He did not require a mealy-mouthed instrument. We can • conceive Lord Lyndhurst, and the writer in the Times, stretching out the band of forgiveness to each other—" Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong." Lord Lyndhurst 's opinion of the Times is the same as ever, and the Times has not changed its opinion of his Lordship. It is because they know each other well, that they now treat each other so lovingly. But " This hour we meet in rapture sweet, Wi' mutual love, an' a' that ; But for sae lang's the flee may stang, Let inclination law that." The time may come when the loving friends will be sworn enemies—when the Times will remember the former confidence only to betray it, and when Lord Lyndhurst will be added to the long list of those whose secrets have been turned to good account. His Lord • ship, however, may have so far benefited by experi • ence as, at the proper time, to be ready to exclaim, " I'm Yorkshire too '."—Morning Chronicle. The Whig-Radical Administration of Ireland has already exhibited itself under the several forms of a partisan Administration, a wasteful Administration, a corrupt and profligate Administration, an irreligious Administration, an un-English and disloyal Amini stration,‘ enslaved by the public enemies of the Pro testant Church, and of the British Crown and people. There is, we grieve to say, more than one example of the same Government having obtained a still further title to the national esteem and confidence, by the dis play of its talents as a persecuting and tyrannical power—" Set a WHig-Radical on horseback, and he will ride to—," &c. Our notice has been called more particularly to this last characteristic of the Mulgrave and Morpeth twin brotherhood, by a number of the Kerry Evening Post which has been sent to us, containing a catalogue of charges' which were brou g ht forward by a paid servant of the Castle, a certain chief constable M'Donagh, of the Kerry district, against three gentlemen—magistrates who had presided at the petty sessions of Listowel-L-for . no intelligible reason, that we can discover, but be cause those magistrates had already preferred grave accusations against the said chief constable for gross misconduct in his office. It would appear from ac seen, although the formal de counts which we have us, th a t t h e magistrates have tails are not now before been completely and triumphantly acquitted, and that the whole proceeding against the m is regarded by all respectable men throughout the Country as one of the most unprincipled and nefarious attemitde ,t:.rliri n re g , co o r f d ti t i o e bolster up the contumacy of a hiretl i Whigs, and to crush the independent admi n i s t rat i on of justice by its unpaid ministers. A Government is in a hopeful way when it can no otherwise suplmrt it self, but by running a-muck at every individual erbodv which is not dependent on its own licentious aw l which is especially given to snarl and bite at men o f property wherever it can find them. We have never yet read a list of complaints' against men occupying the judicial seat more frivolous, vexatious, or shameful on the face of them, than the eleven denunciations of Mr. Constable M‘Donaoh against Messrs. Raymon d and Cashel.— Times. We give elsewhere a condensed report from the Clare Journal of a public meeting, held in Ennis on the 3d instant, to take into consideration the distressed state of the county, and the necessity of petitioning Parliament in favour of Poor-laws. The chief speakers were the Chairman, John O'Brien, Esq., High Sheriff of the County, and Thomas Steele, Esq., whose integrity of purpose and purity of patrio tism mark him as the most disinterested 'advocate of the liberty of his country, and the.general liberty of man. After the passing. of several resolutions, ex pressive of the great distress of the county, and the inadequacy.of the funds of the House of Industry to meet the exigencies of the current year, it was resolved— That this country can never enjoy peace, nor progress in civilization, till every man is made to know that he has a right to support from the soil on which he stands a freeman." The principle embodied in this resolution—the "right of each man to support - from the soil on which he stands a freeman"—is considered to involve the neces sity of poor-laws, and on it was based a most eloquent address by Mr. Steele,. the mover, to the thrilling fervour of whose oratory it is imposSible to refuse our admiration, though we are under the necessity in some points of dissenting from.his conclusions. That every man has a right to support from the soil on which Providence has placed him, we consider _an in disputable truth ; but every man has also duties to perform to society, and the community has fully as much right to the exertions of a man, eroportionably to his ability, as he has to be supported by that com munity. These rights are reciprocal. In a healthy state of society these rights are mutually acted upon without even the question of their abstracejustice being mooted. The individual by his industry procures the supply of his necessities, and sOciety . in return reaps the benefit of his exertions. But it is only when the individual is robbed of the fruits of his industry, or the opportunity of employing it , that the abstract right of his support from the soil forces itself upon the atten- tion. We consider poor-laws, so far from being a 'realization of this right, as is implied by the mover of the resolution, to be a - compromise equally injurious to the individual and to society. By means of unjust laws the individual is excluded from the means of pro curing subsistence, and then poor-laws are proposed as a plenary relief. In such light we reject them with dis dain—nay, if it were not for the agonizing, the appall ing state of destitution in which a large portion of the Irish people -arc plunged, whose wants brook no de lay, we should not even receive them as an instalment. Man, no doubt, has a right to support from the soil— lug poor-laws are not the consummation of . this right they are merely the. pitta nce of le g al chanty, given not so much . in regard to the wants of the poor as a means of screening the property of the rich from the assaults of pauperism made desperate by famine. Open a field for which in Ireland there is ample scope, to the in dustry of the people—abolish the abuses of the Church and Corporations, and let the law recognize no dis tinctions of religion or party—let justice be done by impartial legislation, and an impartial administration of the laws, which will heal feuds, restore tranquillity, and develope the national capabilities ; this is the way to establish and give practical effect to the right of the individual to support from the soil, or rather from the State. In a word, do justice to Ireland, and she will neither need, nor look for the application of poor-laws —of which the object, both at the first and now, was, and is, rather to make people content with their degra dation, than to restore them to an independent exist ence.—Morning Advertiser. " How is the King's Government to be carried on ?" So asked the Duke of Wellington when the Reform Bill was in progress ; and so asked the Duke of Wel lington's opponents when the results of the Reform Bill are beginning to make themselves felt. His Ma jesty's Ministers, when Sir Hussey Vivian informs them that their supporters in East Cornwall require a pledge upon the ballot—when Lord Ebrington warns them that the Liberals of North Devon are tired of the House of Lords—when Mr. O'Connell forwards them the resolution which pledges the Papist Parliament to the establishment of the voluntary principle in Ireland ----4nust be inquiring one of another, with anxious cu riosity, "How is the King's Government to be carried on?' A solution has been found for the difficulty, which is strongly recommended by the ingenious Mr. H. Bul wer and the honest Sir W. Molesworth. "There are some subjects," say these profound philosophers, " on which Reformers are agreed—on these let us all follow the course of the Government ; there are some subjects on which Reformers differ—on these let us all fol low our own. The propriety of confiding charity trusts to our own political partisans, the exclusive. right of Liberals to sell seats in Parliament for two thou sand pounds, the necessity of disfranchising those elec tors who vote against our orders—these are important matters,, on which we are all agreed, and on which we can steadily co-operate : the introduction of the secret suffrage, the extinction of the hereditary Peerage, the abolition of the Established Church—these are trivial questions, upon which some shadef of difference are found to exist : let us consider them open questions." The suggestion is original and curious. It is proposed that Ministerial influence should be energetically ex erted, when measures arc introduced for the removal of a local abuse, or the correction of a temporary incon venience ; and it is required that Ministerial in fluence should be totally paralyzed when. schemes are propounded for the abrogation of the whole course of our ecclesiastical discipline, and the demo lition of the entire fabric of our civil institutions. We wonder whether his Majesty's Ministers, not very clear-sighted, nor very considerate, have ever seen or ever considered the real purpose with which their sulky retainers and their angry friends recommend the " open question" policy. Their professed object is union —the avoidance of fatal discord between parties engaged in the same cause. Is this the true object ? Look back to the effect produced on Lord Liverpool's Cabi net by its recognition of the " open question " policy on a single point. The Catholic question was made the test of the liberality or illiberality of the political crod of each Member of that Administration. The pro-C'eholie was lauded, and:conciliated, and excused ; the anti-Catholic was ridiculed, and-defied, and con demned—Mr. C', , lnning was claimed as almost liberal enough for a Whig ;' Lord Eldon was anathematised as almost too illiberal for a Tory. Did the distinc tions thus drawn tend to cement .an union between the members of Lord Liverpool's Administration ? Look back again to the effect produced on Earl Grey's Cabinet by its partial adoption of the open question policy on a single point. We allude to the appropriation question ; for long before their discord 'broke up .the Cabinet, the individuals_ who composed it were known to entertain discordant sen timents upon that question, and asserted the right of an. open avowal each of his particular views. The inviolability of the revenues of the Irish Church was made the touchstone of political merit by the support ers of the Government., To the appropriators was attributed all the praise of whatever was popular : to the anti•appropriators was ascribed all the guilt of whatever was odious. Lord John Russell was early designated as a fit ally of Mr. O'Connell—Lord Stanley was early stigmatised as a worthy associate of Sir Robert Peel. Once more, did the comparisons thus provoked tend to cement an union between the Members of Earl Grey's Administration ? Oh, no ! the Radicals do not desire to make the union firm, but to make the disunion public. Establish the " open question" policy let Sir Henry Parnell vote for the ballot ; let Sir John Campbell move the abolition of the Peerage ; let every hireling of the Government select the particular topic on which it may suit his necessities to be indepen dent of and wiser than his leaders : the immediate consequence will be the apotheosis of all tine conceding Ministers in fulsome panc!!yric and riotous applause —the exposure of all the resisting Ministers to coarse suspicion and malignant vituperation. When tine Ca binet, as a body, shall be neutral, and the Cabinet Mi nisters, as individuals, shall take their own course, woe betide the Noble Lords and Right Honourable Gen tlemen whom Mr. Grote shall find personally hostile to the ballot, whom Mr. O'Connell shall see personally favourable to the Protestant Church I These arc con siderations, however, which would be more fitly urged by those who wish well to the Government than by those who rejoice' in its approaching downfall. It is for us that if Sir Robert Peel is not Premier befor e t h e cud of , February, his walk to Downing - street hardlyivill be delayed by the adoption of the " open question' p olicy,_-1 Morning .

The destruction of British commerc e and maritime power in that sea, both Pranc in e and Ru ss i a — each for herself, or, as it may be, both combination —hope to While France, strivi ng achieve at no distant day. to lay the foundations of an African empire at Algiers, was meditating this revenge upon England, for having been driven by British arms out of her conquests, both in America and India, our incapable Ministry were as sisting to get her out of the scrape into which dishonesty side THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1836. and insolence had brought'her with the American Pre - - I it. Subsequently, this same incapable Ministry.= .ie antiquated and juvenile Whigs of Downing-street, assisted by whatever influence they possessed the tyran nical and disgraceful policy of the French Government; in bullyiks the little republic of Switzerland, and making a most unwarrantable attack on its indepen dence. We copied some time a g o from the Lausanne G2zette what showed that our Whig rulers took care that the Swiss Directory should know that they sym pathised, not with the victims of French treachery in the affair of the spy Conseil, but with the perpetrators of that treachery. In the mean time the same French Government was maturing the plan for the future an nihilation of our trade in the Mediterranean ; and having baited the diplomatic hook for our Foreign Se cretary with that alluring absurdity called the qua druple alliance, played him as a keen angler plays a silly fish. How Louis Philippe and his Doctrinaires must have enjoyed the sport of our sapient Foreign Secretary, gorging the bait, and splashing and floundering about on the end of the line, amusing all Europe with hiS grotesque gymnastics I niers, who had done the menial work of the northern Powers in regard to Swiss independence, was allowed to play the part of an interventionist in Spanish af fairs to a certain extent, for the purpose of keeping the attention of Lord PalmerSton fixed on the Penin sula—the great scene next to the Netherlands for the fantastic freaks of his peculiar genius ; but 'niers • ha:ing overplayed his part, and, like some other actors, having fancied himself to be really the cha racter which he was - only intended to mimic, was dismissed from his situation as stage-manager to the Citizen King, and the Guizots and the Moles taken back again to play the • interlude of non-inter vention with new dresses and decorations. But whatever changes took place in . the French .Cabinet, the French plan of conquest in Africa was persevered in with the most ambitious spirit'Aind unceasing activity. One of the grossest delusions ever practised by one " friendly" Government upon another was that prac tised by the Court of the Tuileries upon the Whigs in respect to the foreign legion organised at Pau, and which Lord Palmerston was made to believe was in tended to be sent across the Pyrennees to assist. his Lordship's warlike non-intervention plans in Spain. No rational mind can entertain a doubt that from the beginning that army was organised with the intention of being sent—where it ultimately was sent—to Algiers, to " carry out" the plan of conquest meditated there. It was professedly organized, however, for Spanish in tervention. So far it perfectly met the views of our Government ;—and, when all was prepared, it was pre tended that the Citizen-King knew nothing at all about its intended destination. To make this appear more plausible, M. Thiers was dismissed. All the blame of making those preparations without the knowledge of Louis Philippe was thrown upon him. But what was to be done with the newly-organised army ?—lt could not be allowed to go into Spain ; it was not wanted at home ; it never was intended for Algiers ;---but, on the . whole, it was thought better that it should go to Algiers than remain at home or go any where else, and to Algiers it was shipped. There appeared to our sagacious Ministers nothing of premeditation about this. It was merely the transportation to a dis tant colony of a supernumerary force which the Go vernment suddenly found on its hands at home, and had no other employment for. The whole thing was, however, from the beginning, part and parcel-of ,the long-cherished and deep-laid scheme of African con quest. The intervention story was only the dust thrown in the eyes of our Government, yet it seems superfluous to take that precaution with such purblind politicians. Again the story of intervention was re vived, causing Lord Palmerston's spirit to rise and sink with alternate hopes and feats—but the expedition to Constantine was in progress, and the eyes of our Foreign Secretary were fixed upon Bilboa. Fortune has, however, done more to check French ambition in that quarter than the prudence of our Ministers. The despatch of Marshal Clausel will explain how. Gar bled as that despatch has been by the Government that so reluctantly and by piecemeal issued it, enough ap pears on the face of it to show that a terrible and de structive fatality has befallen the French arms. Much ridicule and sneering there was in the French Press, even the Government Papers, upon the disasters of the British Legion in Spain:. The military powers of our Gallic allies has received such a castigation from the barbarians of the desert as ought to abate its vanity. Even while the expedition of Clause! was on its march to the .anticipated conquest of Con stantine, the Arab cavalry of ,Abdel Kader carried terror and devastation to the very gates of Algiers. It was understood that a solemn pledge was given by the French Government to the Wellington Admi nistration, at the period of the capture of Algiers, that France intended to make no permanent settlement there, and that no plan of conquest was intended. The :Government of Louis Philippe, we need not say, has grossly violated that engagement. , The line of coast now bounded by the French settlements of Algiers and Bona, is more than 300 miles in extent. Constan tine lies between, and, though somewhat inland, is ex ceedingly desirable for the purpose of consolidating and strengthening the line of conquest, which is chiefly valuable for its maritime advantages. Cannot Louis Phillippe persuade our Whig Ministers to enter into another Anglo-Gallic convention with him, for the purpose of reducing the refractory Bey of .Constan tine, and extending the French conquests along the shores of the Mediterranean ? By the former Anglo- Gallic convention our Whig Ministers reduced Belgium virtually to the condition of a province of France, for which purpose France will use it, whenever she dares to go to war with this country, in the hope of effacing the memory of Waterloo. Why should not our liberal Ministers " co-operate" with their Gallic allies in sub duing Constantine ? Perhaps the French think that, if Lord Palmerston made a hostile demonstration against Achmet Bey, his intervention , as in the case of Don Carlos and the Portuguese anti-Peerage revo lutionists, would render him more flourishing and more formidable than ever I We have said that dur ing eight or ten days before any official account was given of the disastrous result of Marshal Clausel's expedition, rumours of its defeat were afloat in Paris, which may be traced to the ship Phare, that left Bona on the 28th ult. Marshal Clause!, as the Courier observes, describes the disasters of the army as hav ing commenced on the 21st ; so that there was suffi cient time for the authentic accounts to have reached Bona, and thence be conveyed by the Phare to Tou lon, and telegraphically announced to the French Government at the time when the unfavourable ru mours, which appeared from day to clay in our Parisian correspondence, were first circulated in the capita! of France. Now this being so, can any thing be More disgraceful than the conduct of the Government in withholding the in telli g ence fro m the public , and in doubts upon it through thei r se mi-official org even ans h owi Louis Philippe with the high-sounding title of the " N a p o l eon o f P eace ." h n lis flatterers dignify The fate of his grand expedition to Constantine, the city of Achmet Bey, which was intended to give a different eclat to his reign from that of peace, shows that he is not destined to become the Na poleon of war. Perhaps he is more deserving - of the title of Napoleon of the Bourse than of either. When the .koniteur did at last reveal a portion of the official news, it ended with that part of the despatch which strangely enough , states that "the expedition, on its way from Bona to Constantine, encountered no enem - y—no obstacle." Then the lucky intervention of nightfall cut the thread of the story. It was resumed the same night by the evening or g an o f the Govern ment, La Charte, which got as far with the statement, of the tragic narrative as the bursting the gate of Con stantine by the French a rtillery, and then only supplied that significant little. adversative particle " but" to point at the untold catastrophe, the tale being cut short by a fortunate interposition of bad weather, just as the ex pedition itself was, if we are to , believe the official nar rative, which is curiously inconsistent with itself, in saying that the expedition encountered no obstacle on its way from Bona to Constantine, and then showing that it had encountered such obstacles as put hors de combat more than 3,000 men, before the expedition came within sight of Constantine. But Marshal Clau sel ought not to be held accountable for the tricks of the Doctrinaires, whose power this catastrophe has dreadfully shaken.--Alorning Herald, SHIPPIN EAGENCE, VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUs TOM-HOUSE, DEC. 15.

Seventy of the students have been expelled from the University of Virginia, at Charlotteville, in consequence of persisting in forming a militia company in expensive uni forms, to the detriment of their studies and incomes. We learn with satisfaction that Mr. Beaumont, M.P., is engaged on an extensive tour through the southern and midland counties of Ireland, for the purpose of ascer taining by his own personal observation, the actual state of that unhappy and long misgoverned country. We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter written by Mr. Beaumont to a friend in Northumberland, dated Waterford, Dee. 2, in which he describes with great feeling the wretched. state of the peasantry in the districts through which he has travelled, and expresses his conviction that the great influence exercised by the Catholic priesthood over their flocks is entirely to be attributed to their being con strained to act as political leaders, and the protectors of the people against the rapacity and oppression of the Pro testant ascendancy faction ; remove the oppression, and the priest will soon return to his proper station of a reli gious instructor.—Tyne Mercury. At the adjourned quarterly meeting of the Town Council of Newcastle, on Wednesday last, it was resolved by a majority of 28 to 24; to sell the furniture of the Man sion House.

The subject, however, will be again discussed at the meeting fixed for the 11th of January.—Tyne Mercury. Shortly after the death of the brave Poniatowski, the whole of Poland subscribed to raise a monument worthy of him and the nation. In a short time the subscription amounted to 600,000 Polish florins, and a resolution was adopted to apply the money to the construction of an equestrian statue of the hero. The execution of this co lossal* work was confided to the celebrated Thorwaldsen, who had just finished his task when the revolution of Nov. 29, occurred. Some time before the Emperor Alex ander had consented to allow it to be erected in one of the squares of Poland. Alexander had some nobleness in his character, and an enlightened taste for the fine arts. A si milar observation cannot be made with respect to his suc cessor. He has recently issued orders that this chef d'oeuvre should be conducted to the fortress of Modhn, where it will probably be used in the foundries. In conse quence of the immense weight of this colossal statue, which is wholly formed of bronze, it was found necessary, in order to transport it. to the fortress, to break it up. Thus is ono of the finest productions of modern sculpture lost.— Courtier Francais. On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a woman of respectable appearance, apparently about 45 years of age, was met near the Swan with Two Necks, on the road to Finchley, and the man who met her observed that she stag gered a little, as if tipsy or ill. He asked her if she wanted any assistance, or a direction, and she replied civilly that she did not, observing that she only felt a slight giddiness in the head, and could reach her destination without help. The man Then walked away. She went to the Swan with two Necks, and having had a glass of ale and a . biicult went away. On the following (Wednesday) morning the body of the same woman was found lying in a ditch not many yards from the eighth mile-stone, and within a short distance of the police station-house. The body was lying on the back, with the head downwards, on the slope of the bank, and the water, of which there was a small quk-o tity at the bottom, was just high enough to cover the mouth. On examining her person, it was found that she had a black eye, and a contusion on the forehead ; but no other marks of violence. The body was conveyed to the station-house, and inquiries were made immediately in the neighbourhood, but it could not be ascertained that any one had been seen with her on the previous night. Information was sent to the different police-offices in London, and an experienced officer was sent down to the spot, but elicited nothing mate-• rial. The unfortunate woman had on a. black silk bonnet of a figured pattern, a dark fine cotton gown, a shawl of a (lark sprig pattern, black shoes, and silk stockings. She had a gold wedding-ring on her finger, and a very valuable pair of gold ornamental car-rings. An inquest was held upon the body yesterday. The following particulars respecting a railroad now making between St. Petcrsburgh and Zarskojecelo, of which a prospectus has appeared in this country, may not be un interesting to the public. The railroad is to terminate in the Imperial Park at Pauloffsky, tn.° miles from the palace of Zarskojecelo, and 17 from St. Petersburg. The village of Zarskojecelo is a mere dependency on the palace, con tains no manufactures whatever, and its population is corn posed of the attendants on the Court arid the military quar tered there. The only returns that can be expected by the shareholders must arise from the passengers between St. Petersburgh and Zarskojecclo—a class of travellers . which cannot long continue numerous, when curiosity or pleasure, and not business, governs their motions. The road is said to be so badly constructed as to insure the ne cessity of its repair when the spring shall arrive. The ab surdity of a railroad speculation in Russia must be o bvious to every person who reflects that nature has given the Russians a natural railroad, by means of ice and snow, for at least 6 months out of the 12 ; and during all that period the iron rails must be so deeply imbedded in frozen snow as to render any access to them impossible. Considerable excitement was on Monday afternoon last caused in Upper George-street, Manchester-square, owing to the sudden demise of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell, an elderly female, who for a long period had occupied the house No. 19, and was so recluse in her habits, that for years together she, although in good health, would remain in -doors, unseen by any one, with the exception of a neigh bour, Mrs. Tett, by whom she was now and then visited. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on the day above named it was remarked by a passer-by, that the shutters, which were usually opened at a much earlier hour, remained closed, and in consequence thereof it was imagined that all was not right within ; several' persons residing near the spot then came to the determination of making an entrance, which they did by getting in at a window, and on searching the premises discovered the old lady quite (lead, and lying with her clothes on at the foot of the bed ; she was bent almost double, and her head lay in a pool of blood which had gushed from her nose and mouth. A crowd soon collected round the door, and information of the affair was promptly c onveyed to Inspector Thomas, who, accompanied by a so licitor, to whom deceased had long been known. examined the apartment, and found therein upwards of 600/. in note:, gold, and bills, some portion of which was tied no in an old stocking, .and the remainder in a hankerchief and in a trunk ; every room in the place was in a deplorable state of dirt, for want of proper attention on the part of the de ceased, who, it is said, has a vast deal of property in the funds. Her relatives are of the greatest repectability, and reside in Leicestershire. It is supposed that the death of the unfortunate woman was owing to a rupture of a blood vessel in the head. Ou Wednesday the police received information of the following expert and extensive robbery :—On the previous day, between three and four o'clock, as Mr. John Bloom field, a Suffolk farmer, who had just arrived in town, was walking along the New-road, he was accosted by two men in his own provincial dialect, and with whom he entered iato conversation on the state of the weather and other matters. They kept on until their arrival at the Regent's Arms, York-terrace, When they took their scats in a small room, and had some refreshment. The subject of London thievery was presently started by one of the men, who, ascertaining that Mr. Bloomfield had a sum of money in notes in his pocket, hinted to him the propriety of taking down the numbers thereof, and accordingly he pulled forth a bag containing 751. in Ipswich notes of 5/. each, and laid it on the t a bl e the sham countrymen then took their departure, promising to return in an instant, and directly afterwards Mr. Bloomfield bad the m ortification to find that he had been plundered of the whole of the property by the sharpers, who left behind them a piece of brown paper, re sembling closely the tied-up bag alluded to, and of course neglected to return. One of them appeared to be about fifty, and the other ten or twelve years younger ; the fer nier dressed in a shabby suit of black, and the latter in a blue coat, kerseymere small-clothes, and top.beets, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 15. PERRY V. MITCHELL. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor, to restrain the defendant, a manuf.►c turer, living in Newhall-street, Birmingham, from making or vending any metal pens such as those for which the plain tiff claimed to have a patent. Perry, being in Paris in 1833, discovered that pens were there sold under the name of " Anti-patent Peruvian, of precisely the same form and manufacture as his own " Patent Perryan." Being con-. vinced, on inquiry, that these pens were made in Birmingham, as well as his oWn, he directed inquiries to be made, and traced the manufacture to the defendant, against whom he accordingly obtained an exparte injunction, which was after wards sustained at the hearing. Mr. JACOB now moved to dissolve this injunction. on the well-known and reconised principle of a Court of Equity, that a plaintiff, in obtaining an injunction, was lnuncl not to keep back from the knowledge of the Court any part of the facts of the case on which he grounded his claim for the in terference of the Coort. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, without saying anything of the patent rights of the plaintiff, or without prejudice to any other proceeding lie might adopt, the injunction he had obtained must be dissolved, and dissolved with costs—that was, with the costs of the application in the Court below. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Djc. 15. ARMSTRONG V. CROMWELL. Mr. Sergeant BONIPAS stated that this was an action brought to recover a very small sum of money—the sum of 6!. 16s. 10d., for the board and lodging, for four weeks, of the defendant's wife. The defendant had pleaded—first, non assunzpsit ; secondly, that the board and lodging were furnished to the wife without the request of the defendant ; and that the wife had committed adultery with one John M'Leod, and that she left the residence of the defendant, and had since continued to live in adultery. The plaintiff, by his replication, denied the truth of this plea. It was clear that by law the defendant was liable to pay for the necessaries furnished to his wife, if he himself did not sup ply her with them, until that liability should be put an end to by her committing an act of adultery. The Jury would - see, therefore, that, small as Was the sum now sought to be recovered, the inquiry involved a question of a most se rious and painful nature. Upon it depended the fame and character tot only of Mrs. Cromwell, but of the gentle man who were named in the plea as having committed adul tery with her. The defendant was a teacher of music, and he and his wife lived together in Southampton for some time after their marriage. At length, however, the defen dant thought fit to separate himself from his wife ; he turned her out of doors ; he left her scarcely any money to pro vide herself with necessaries ; and after some time she came to the house of the plaintiff, a respectable tradesman of London, who knew nothing of either of the parties. In his house she engaged apartments, and in his house she in curred a debt of 61. 16s. 10d. The plaintiff, having ap plied to her husband for the money, was met by a refusal to pay, and was forced to bring the present action to re cover the amount. After hearing the facts of the case, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 61. 16s. 10d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 15. DEVAS AND ANOTHER V. MAY AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the assignees of Messrs. Bowring and Garrard, bankrupts, to recover 1,120/., the alleged value of certain goods sold by the bankrupts, a short time previous to their bankruptcy, to the present defendants. The bankrupts had been linen-drapers in Ex mouth-street, Spa-fields,, and the defendants carried on the same trade at Whiteebapel . Messrs. Bowring and Garrard became bankrupts on the Ist of December, 1835, and is October and November previous large quantities- of goods, consisting of French merinos, silks, shawls, and other articles in the trade, were conveyed to the house of Mr. Kirky, then shopman to the bankrupt, in Goswell-street, from Ex mouth -street, where the bankrupt's shop was situated, and they ware sold by him to the defendants at 25 per cent. below the cost price. In November the goods were re moved from Mr. Kirby's lodgings to the premises of the defendants, and shortly afterwards the bankruptcy took .place. The assignees having learnt of this transaction, insti tuted an investigation into the facts of the case, and Mr. May -one of the present defendants, was examined before the Commissioners. Upon that examination Mr. May de nied that he had known that the goods in question were the property of the bankrupts, and stated that he had dealt with Mr. Kirby according to the ordinary course of busi ness, and had paid a fair price for the goods which he re ceived. He,refused also to acknowledge any liability for the value of those goods, and the assignees accordingly brought the present action on behalf on the bankrupt's estate. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdio for the plaintiff—Damages 930/. BRUNTON V. FURNIVALL. Thi4 was an action brought by William Brunton, the sur viving partner of John Brunton, against Mr. Furnivall, for 10,606/. Os. 6(1., the value of goods delivered and for work done. The plaintiff was a considerable iron-manufacturer in the Commercial-road, and the defendant was a gentle man who had speculated in a salt mine in Cheshire. The goods consisted chiefly of ironwork for the mine. On be half of the plaintiff a variety of letters, written by the de fendant, were produced, in which the present claim was admitted. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. ARCHES COURT—DEc. 15. BULLY V. BULLY. This cause, which is a suit for divorce, on the grounds of adultery, promoted by the husband against the wife, came on for judgment this day. The Learned JUDGE, as the crime of which Mrs. Bully was accused had been so clearly proved, had no hesitation in pronouncing sentence as had been prayed for by the parties promoting the suit. " This paper is chosen out from many others from people whom I could hang. They pretend that it is not in Wood's hand. They want to swindle me, or something to tl.at effect." It was incumbent, then, on the parties offering this allegation, to prove that this is the hand-writing of Mr. Wood.

THE KING V. FIELD AND YOUNG. The defendants appealed against a conviction for endea vouring to force Charles Coleman to depart from his em• ploy as a carpenter in the service of Mr. Peter Robins, a master carpenter, in Molyneux-street, Edgware-road. Tir defendants had been adjudged by William Shutt and liam Hoskins, Esq., magistrates at Marylebone Office, to suffer, the one imprisonment of one month, and the other for 14 days. After hearing evidence, the CHAIRMAN said the convic tion must be confirmed. The defendants were then remanded to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of this office, applied to the Magistrates for their advice under the following extraordinary circumstances. About week since he received a letter that a robbery was in tended to be committed at his house. He paid little or no attention to the circumstance, conceiving it to be a joke ; but on Wednesday night last, after the family had retired to rest, they were awoke out of their sleep by a noise. He immediately got out of bed, and proceeding down stairs he found that some thieves had forced open the door, and had entered the house ; but, being alarmed, they made their escape. Yesterday morning he received another letter, evi dently written by some low fellow, stating that although theY had not succeeded in their design it was the determination of the gang to plunder the house at some future period, and to beware. The circumstance had placed him and his fa mily in the utmost excitement, and he determined on making the present application. Mr. LAING told him that he could do nothing in the ease , but advised him to consult with one of the officers, and be quitted the Court with Bayliss the officer, for the purp?se of adopting the best means to trace and apprehend the thieves.

In this, which is a suit respecting. the will of the late James Wood, Esq., the rich banker of Gloucester,. who died on the 20th of April of the present year, of the age of eighty years, the question came on this clay concerning the admissibility of an allegation propounding a codicil, which, it will be remembered, was sent through the me dium of the three-penny post to the residence of Thomas Helps, Esq„ at Balliam-hill. The contents of this codicil are as follows : COPY OF A CODICIL ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY TIIE LATE JAMES WOOD, ESQ. In a codicil to my will I gave to the Corporaticn of Gloucester the sum of 140,0001., and in this I now give 60,0001. more to my executors for the same purposes as I have before mentioned. I also give to my friends—Mr. Philpotts, the sum of 50,000/. ; Mr E. Council, mom.; Mr. Thomas Helps, of Cheapside, ;30,000/. ; Mrs. Eliza Goodlake and Mr. Thomas Wood, of Smith-street, Chel sea, each 20,000!. ; Samuel Wood, of Cleveland-street, Mile End, 14,000/., and this gentleman's family, 6,000!. I confirm also any 'other bequests which I . have made, and give the rest to my executors for their own interests. " JAMES WOOD. " Gloucester City Old Bank, July, 1835." It will be seen that. this codicil materially affects the in terests of Mr. Helps, on whose behalf the allegation was now offered. The property of the deceased amounted in real property to 10,0001. per annum, and in personal to up wards of 1,000,0001. The suit is very heavy and of im mense length, and in order to prevent . confusion, The Learned JUDGE inquired who were the Counsel, and for whose interests they appeared ; when it was dis covered that there were five different parties in the litiga tion, and the following Counsel were engaged on their behalf. The King's Advocate, assisted by Drs. Lushington and Adams, for the executors, Alderman Wood, Mr. Chad well, Mr: Sermen, and another person, whose name we for get ; Doctors Burnaby and Nicholls for Mr. Helps ; Drs. Phillimore and Haggard for Mrs. Goodlake ; Dr. Curtis for Mr. G. Hutchins, a party benefitted by the original will ; and Dr. Robinson for Mr. Philpotts. The KING'S ADVOCATE, the Leading Counsel for the executors, opp ose d thi s a ll egat i on . H e wo uld call the at tention of the Court to the facts, which were of the most extraordinary nature, concerning the codicil. Everything connected with it was of the most suspicious nature ; the condition in which it was ; the contents :of it, and " last, but not least," surprising was how it found its way to the possessor. First then, he would direct the Court to the condition in which it was ; torn in two distinct places ; and, what was very singular, one of the rents divided, and nearly obliterated, the Christian and surname of the signature, " James . Wood,"..the alleged writer of this codicil. An other injury which this unfortunate manuscript had received was that it had been burned. The contents also of th:s pa per are sin p ising, for it is not very probable tha t a person of the disposition which Mr. Wood notoriously was, sLould, beside the already munificent bequest of 140,0001., which he had left to the corporation of Gloucester, give an ad ditional present of 60,0001. ; next, it had been suggested to him (the Learned Advocate) that no wonder Mr. Wood had been so bountiful to that corporation', for it purchased for its use from Mr. Wood's shop all the artieles which they required, and which he was usually in the habit of selling. 'This the Learned Counsel thought a truly cogent reason—that because a body of men had purchased goods to the amount of about W. or 121. per annum, it should be a natural sequitur that he in his will should leave bequests to the amount 0 00,000/ Another thing which mus t present itself' to the view of the Court is the fact— how this paper reached the hands of Mr. Helps Why, through the medium of the threepenny post ; perhaps the only method by which the person sending it would be safe from detection, and to it were attached some pencil marks.
