SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We copy from the Leeds Mercury a letter from Mr. Baines to Mr. O'Connell on Peerage Reform. It is no doubt true, as Mr. Baines observes, that no Mi nistry durst propose Peerage Reform, and that were a motion brought forward on the subject in the House of Commons, it would find but few supporters. Till public opinion is matured on the question, it is not to be expected that it should have many supporters in Parliament. The Leeds Mercury thus accounts for the conduct_ of the Tory Lords during the last session : " It has been the deep design of that crafty intriguer Lord Lyndhurst, by his conduct during the last ses sion, to provoke the Ministers and their friends into an advocacy of Peerage Reform, knowing, as he does, and as we should think every man of common discern ment must, that the instant Ministers advocate that • question, their doom is sealed, and Parliament will be dissolved with an absolute certainty of a Tory ma jority being returned at the next election. Lord Lyndhurst has, therefore, set a trap for the Ministers and the Reformers ; and if they walk into it, their fate is merited as well as certain." The scheme attributed to Lord Lyndhurst by our Leeds Con temporary hardly supports the character it gives him of a crafty intriguer. The trap set by him for Ministers, to justify his title in this instance to be deemed a crafty intriguer, ought t o h ave b een b etter baited. The Leeds Mercury must either have a very poor idea of the discernment and sagacity of Minis ters if it supposes they could be provoked to do what every man of common discernment must know would seal their doom, or have a very strange idea of craft, when Lord Lyndhurst receives credit for it for setting a trap . which no man of common discernment would walk into. We suspect Lord Lyndhurst's design is really deeper than our Leeds Contemporary gives him credit for. He and the Tories know that Ministers dare not propose, and would not be justified in pro posing, Peerage Reform. But they know also that the peopl e of England are not easily roused—that they will, bear a great deal before they become impatient. By preventing Ministers from carrying any liberal measures, and thus exhibiting the Reform Bill as not productive of those beneficial results the na tion expected from it, while Ministers have no means of removing the, obstacles, they conceive that the people in their despair of effectual remedies for recognised abuses will abandon themselves to apathy and indifference, and that thus, in time, they ma gain a majority in the Commons. We have act clout); that in this they will be disappointed, though we are aware that the Reform Bill has left but too many nests of corruption, and that in the present un- Irrotected state of the voters, we are hardly j u stifi e d i n expecting year after year those sacrifices which at one tine gave such triumphant majorities to the Re formers. Mr. Baines, in his letter, looks for a correc tion of the House of Lords, not to any plan of reform (which no single Peer would ever propose), hut to the return of a large majority of Reformers to Parlia ;nent. It is no doubt true that with a large majority Ministers might do much by means of the power of t: , .e purse possessed by the 'House of COMMOIS. We trust, at all events, that whenever an election takes place the topic will not be neglected. It is certain that since the last election the Reform interest has ;hint d greatly in the Corporations. Still, allowing that 7.'f!ry beneficial effects would flow from the possession of a large majority in the, House of Commons, we cannot slnut our eyes to the fact that the majority of the Loris have interests distinct from those of the people ; that they are incorrigibly hostile to reform ; and that only under a pressure of some kind or other will they allow liberal measures to pass. The moment the steam ceases to be applied to them, they will be impelled by their own perversity in an opposite direction from that of the public good. So that, after all, we must come to the Peerage Reform. The nation may not yet be ripe for it, but the discussion of the question will serve to mature public opinion. It would be unfair to make Peerage Reform a sine qua non, but it is justiaable to claim for every man who deems it ne cessary the liberty to propound his opinions. The Scotsman of Saturday last puts in the following claim for toleration on this question Many of the Whigs are ohl men, and cannot be ex pected to renounce opinions they have held for thirty or forty years—many of them are rich men, and dread viole.at changes—many cf them arc connected with the ?dampers of the Upper House, and disposed on this ac count to deal tenderly with its privileges. There may be error in their judgment, and selfishness in their motives ; but, in this mixed world of fallible beings, no party that has a great cause to support against powerful adver saries can afford to expel from its ranks all who are not purely disinterested and perfectly enlightened. We think the Whigs are likely to be ripe for Peerage Reform quite as soon as the masses ; but, without the concur rence of both, it is clear as day that there is no hope of succe 39 . The proper tactics of the liberal party are there fore obvious. They must adopt the system of compromise, or rat - her of mutual toleration, so often exemplified in con structing a a Ministry, which is expressed by saying, that certain: points wherein its members do not agree, are not to be made Cabinet questions.' Peerage Reform must be co:asidered a topic on which every Liberal Member is free to ,. hold his own opinion without breach of faith to his associates. It would be unwise to table a motion on the subject:, because this would merely display the divisions of the Li beral party, and place some Members in a position v.'hich would injure them in the eyes of their constituents. But those who advocate Peerage Reform, need not fear that their tongues will be tied. If Lyndhurst conti nues Lc fill his present station in the Tory camp, there will be no want of slaughtered and mutilated Bills, and honest Radical Members will find abundant occasions to express their sentiments, without the formality of mo tions. The newspaper press, too, may agitate the ques tion stoutly ; and upon this system we mean to act. We believe: Peerage Reform to be indispensable ; and we shall contribatte our share to ripen the public mind for its adop tion. Odious and disgraceful as the Lyndhurst plan of operating is, we are reconciled to it, because we believe nothing short of a regimen of kicks and insults will open the eyes of the apathetic, church-ridden, title-worshipping population of England to the necessity of Peerage Reform. W e have little doubt of the Liberal Journals acting upon the views we have stated." These , views agree in the main with the policy we have always recommended with respect to this ques tion. We would observe, however, that the feeling unpacked expressed a t every o public meeting of late proves that Peerag e Reform is more generally believed to be necessary than our Northern Contemporary would seem to think. It hardly does justice to the people of England.— ornzng 111 • - Chronicle. Mr. Wentworth B agitation fund in Irel an d. W e a re not sure that this or any similar the animadversionslaractonthepart of the Hon. Gentleman would' it of a public journalist, were Mr. Beaumont to content himself with doing " what ite likes s iwithnun i fi b eisenecenin" But when, in addition to his peculiar support of the treacherous, not to say treasonable,views of a political adventurer, he himself stands forward as the expounder of the public views and sentiments o f N e wcastle and Northumberland generally, we may be P ardoned, if we consider his letter rath er with re ference to the adventitious distinction of the writer, than to the intrinsic merit of the document itself. M r. Beaumont is a man of large fortune, and the represen tative of a numerous and powerful county constituency, and, to use the words of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, "so well known as to require no description." This highly respectable gentlemen rather less than a year ago at tended some sor t o f Whig-Radical meeting atEdin burgh, at which he denounced Daniel O'Connell and all his works, and was rewarded by the hisses and exe crations of the "Lb i erals" there assembled. To this circumstance Mr. Beaumont alludes in the opening sentence of his recent letter to O'Connell. He says at lie spoke " eery 'unceremoniously of the expe diency of Daniel's ao• • „nation in England, from a con viction that he (Daniel) was doing a practical injury to the cause of liberty." CC So," continues the Mem ber for Northumberland, " when I see you proceeding hesitate with in a right course , I do not he • ' equal frank ness to offer you my humble assistance." Then comes the announcement of the 1001. , s b, u cription. That this is the sort of humble assistance most to the Agi tator's taste, we are w e l l aware. Still, had Mr. Beaumont distinctly indicated the right course now pursued by O'Connell, as distinguished from that so unceremoniously reprobated at Edinburgh, not only would the assistance have been more effective, b ut some clue would have been furnished to the now in. explicable conduct of the Member for Northu►nbex- land. As it is, we are left to conjecture, and, wish ful to treat Mr. Beaumont with the consideration due to his position as a public man, representing a divi sion of one of the most important counties in Eng land, we shall for a moment examine what change has come over the political dream of Mr. Daniel O'Con nell to account for so entire a revolution in the feel ing of his Honourable Correspondent towards him. At the period at which Mr. Beaumont felt it ne cessary to denounce the sayings and doing of his Derrynane correspondent, the latter person was, or had just been, engaged in a Ministerial mission through the north of England, with what effect the last election at Newcastle sufficiently proves. Well, what was the text from which the prophet Daniel preached through out that memorable tour ? " Down with the Lords I" This was the shout which, at the instigation or with the sanction of the Lordlings Russell, Howick, Mul grave, Morpeth, Palmerston, and the rest, the Agitator vainly endeavoured to raise amongst a portion of the English people. It is highly honourable to Mr. Beaumont that he, in common with his fellow-coun trymen, recoiled with disgust from the treasonable intermeddling of this itinerant brawler. But what is the case now ? Is O'Connell less loud in his denun ciation—less virulent in his abuse—less vile in the entire scheme of his machinations as regards the Peerage of England, than he was when he forced Mr. Beaumont to speak " very unceremoniously" against the expediency of his agitation ? Undoubtedly not. And if we find no change in the Agitator's public con duct and avowed opinions as to the House of Lords, where else shall we look for such change ? Is not this pestilent politician as thoroughly imbued with hatred to the very name of England—as mortally opposed to her best interests in church and state —as foul-mouthed in his abuse of the most eminent and distinguished of her public men—in short, as deter mined to bring down the hitherto haughty crest of Britain beneath the brutal hoof of Popish domination —is he not, we ask, all this as much and completely note as he was one year ago ? Are we not, then, justified in an expression of wonder that a gentleman, representing any portion of that county constituency which the demagogue has denounced as a banded op position to the spread of constitutional freedom, should, in 1836, consider 100/. a fit testimonial in support of the self-same conduct which in 1835 he " uncere moniously" pronounced to be practically injurious to the cause of liberty ? Mr. Beaumont owes it to his constituents, and the country generally, to explain this glaring inconsistency, if it be 4t all capable of expla nation. But, as we have remarked above, Mr. Beau mont's letter is chiefly important as purporting to con• vey the opinions and feelings of the constituency of Newcastle and the Northumbrians generally. It is true that Mr. Beaumont states, towards the close of his letter, that he only speaks "as a Northumbrian, knowing the feelings of his neighbours, and not autho rized by position to relate the opinions of the inde pendent men of Newcastle." But it should be observed, that the far larger portion of the letter is devoted to an explanation, on the part of Mr. Beaumont, authorized or not, of the circumstances attending the Conserva tive triumph at the last Newcastle election. The member for Northumberland declares his belief that " the Reformers of Newcastle will not be offended by his saying, in their name, that they should be much hurt by their town being a watchword to designate English illiberality and prejudieo"—terms here used as synonyms for O'Connellism. In explanation of this strange phrase, Mr. Beaumont goes on to say, that the Newcastle electors " forgot the public liberty in a " rage for asserting their own," and that, if we under stand him rightly, they returned a Tory because they would neither have a Whig nor a Radical forced upon them ! There is a wild and discursive speculation in ail this, which to us, accustomed to something of pre cision, is almost bewildering. In our utter inability to know what Mr. Beaumont would be at, he will, perhaps, pardon us for presenting him with a sugges tion. It is that, in future, he will indulge the eccen tricities of a munificent disposition without involving himself and others in the mazes of inexplicable explana tions. He may rely upon it that the cheek was the only welcome part of his letter to the agitation fund, and he may be equally certain that the said check is the only intelligible part of the letter to any one of ordinary un derstanding. It would be unfair to a political opponent. were we to pass over the terms in which Mr. Dainel O'Connell acknowledges the godsend cast into his wallet by the Member for Northumberland. Gratitude is a virtue to which the Irish lay an almost exclu sive claim ; and certainly, in the present instance, we must concede that O'Connell has made out that claim. We shall not quote what may be called his "sessional" opinions of the personal and political claims of his newly-found friend on public attention ; but we are in the recollection of a very considerable number of gentlemen connected with the political world, when saying that the letter dated " Derrynane Abbey, Sep tember the 18th," contains the very first announcement of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's opinion that Mr. Beau mont is " one of the most distinguished of the gentry of England." Not only has the donation purchased this personal honour for Mr. Beaumont ; it has even obtained for the electors of Newcastle, and the English people generally, an admission on the part of the Agi tator, that there is no hostility to Irish interests in this country, but merely an indifference to them. We are sorry to disturb the cordial understanding thus esta blished between the members for Northumberland and Kilkenny, but we take leave to say, that there is an utter indifference in the English mind to all the threats of O'Connell and his tail, and as decided an hostility to their insidious and revolutionary designs now vs there was before the recent farce of the " 100/. note."— Times. Our columns continue to be filled with reports of Reform dinners and Reform meetings, with a view to give the Members of Parliament during the recess an opportunity of rendering up an account of their stewardship to their constituents. They crowd upon us so fast that we are compelled to comprehend, as we did before, our commentary on several of them within the space of one article. 'We referred on Sa turday to the Liverpool dinner about to be given to Lords Melbourne and Russell. This is another of those proofs of what the Conservatives call re-action. All the dinners and meetings to which we have referred have been characterized by the same formula—with respect to the House of Lords—of question and an swer between the constituent and representative,— which we predicted must gi ve a preva ili ng aspect to the whole. It may be said to have characterized the Wicklow dinner, the West Somerset dinner, and the East Cornwall Reform meeting —consequ en t of the resignation of Sir William Molesworth—a rep or t o f which will be found in this day's Advertiser. The question is as brief as the reply. What have you done for the country during the last Session ? The reply of all honest liberal Members must be in all cases the same. Monotonous but terrible to the oppressors of the people " as the hundred voices of the storm" must be the many-accented burthen and chorus of that unani mous response. We have done much for the people ; but all we have clone has been frustrated or perverted impar tially, by the irresponsibility of the House of Lords. They are resolved to govern Ireland, a co-equal third of the empire, shall b e partially—we are resolved to govern it We leave to you, our constituents, to decide which shall at the have their way—whether justice or injus ticedemonsWtraetsi decidaedilng to t n ri o u f m t i i ) l l e iant. The speech of Mr. Leader Somerset meeting, furnishes a complete feel pleasure i n in k• accuracy of our prediction. We an extract from it—partly be cause it was uec y t t r li ac e t m is ost su elo c q u u r e iu n u t, sl a y s i w n ell u a n s is t o h n e most manly sp eec h an to which we have adverted— partly because the with the texture and bearing of our preceding re marks on the great all-absorbingt topic of the day : Representatives i h House of Commons l'i'avle'°llilreen labouring anxiously to do the work of the p eo p le—bu t their labourshave been in vain—their time wasted—their measures weary only ly say youre rejected, e c w t e h d h , Not and the people disapp ointed. that a detail of the late Session, I sh all n many measures, dema nded alike by and by expediency, for the relief of Ireland, justice were intro duced by the Government and passed by the c orn _ mons. Nevertheless they failed to become law. F or England many good, just, and necessary measure s , (such as the corporation Act Amendment Bill, th e Dissenters Disabilities Bill, the Civil Office Decla- i ration Bill, the Charity Trustees Bill, and many others) were passed by the Commons. Nevertheless they failed to become law. So barren, indeed, of the good practical results which you had a right to expect has the late session proved, that one may haply apply to it an old couplet which was much in vogue 200 years ago. It runs thus— ' Many faults complained of—few things mended— A subsidy granted-.-the Parliament ended.' This is precisely our case at present. We have com plained of many grievances --we have unfortunately been able to remedy few or none of them—we have voted all the supplies—and the Session is at an end. The obstacle to improvement and to good government in those times was a single-headed despot, who despised the Commons, and who, trusting to his right divine to govern wrong, neglected or opposed the wishes and in terests of the people : you know the penalty which he paid for his tyranny. The obstacle to improve ment and to good government in these times is a manyheaded despot, called the House of Lords. They, led on by a cunning, reckless, and ambi tious lawyer, have rejected, or so mutilated as to cause to be rejected, all the popular measures passed by the Commons. They seem to me to have lost their senses in their blind obedience to this man ; they may fancy, perhaps, that in following him they are guided by a good safe light ; but they will find to their sorrow that they have been following a malicious will-o'-the-wisp, that is leading them to their own destruction ; so implicitly do they yield to his guid ance, that they deserve less to be called the House of Lords than Lord Lyndhurst's tail." Here is a specific abuse. The above is a statement of a fact ; namely, that the English Government has come to a dead stand-still ? How is this fact to be met ? How is this abuse to be remedied ? This is the only question for practical men—this the only consideration for that common sense which is, and always has been, the prevailing characteristic of the English people. If we were called upon to point out the source of the pros perity to which this island has arrived, we should ex press it in a single word, the characteristic prudence of the English people. They have not allowed themselves to be diverted from the rational object of acting accord ing to circomstances, and of applying remedies to exist ing abuses,--by high sounding words or unsubstantial theories—by phantoms conjured up from the darkness of the past or bugbears evoked from the uncertain shadows of the future. They have never done so, nor will they do so now. The present constitution of the Peerage is found to be a practical abuse. What it arose from—how it became so—whether the institution is venerable by its antiquity, or hoary with prejudice or licentious folly— does not concern the question. It is an abuse, and must be reformed. Even the most Conservative of the speakers of the different Reform meetings to which we have !referred, including Sir Thomas Lethbridge, ad mitted the necessity of that reform. They at all events have the good sense not to throw in our teeth any more of ✓ the wordy nothingness about " organic changes," or schoolboy allusions to Tacitus and Cicero. Let the reform be effected without violence, says Sir Thomas Lethbridge. True Reformers desire nothing more. It was to such a reform, produced by the moral omnipotence of public opinion, that Mr. Leader appealed. It is for the Lords and for the ad vocates of the Lords, to talk of unsheathing the sword, and with a forty-parson power of vociferation to hurl defiance in the face of the, calm and determined reso lution of the English people. The madmen ! they know not the power which they are defying. Mr. Leader gave an eloquent description of that power at the close of his speech, and we cannot do better than extract a passage which cannot be im proved, and a warning which should not be lost : " Have you never observed the violence with which a dammed-up strea:n at last breaks through all obsta cles ? Have you never seen the flames burst with re doubled fury from a burning house when they have been deadened for a moment by a flow of water ? Have you never marked the irresistible power with which pent-up steam will find a vent ? Do you not. daily see the great force of gunp ow d er ex pl o d e d b y a single spark ? It is the inevitable law of nature, wherever there is power it must have its way. If such then be the power of inanimate matter, shall we be told that the power of a mighty nation can be long re pressed, cooped up and rendered motionless. Should the Lords allow themselves to be led away by the flat tering thought that they can resist this power—should they dare to continue their opposition to all improve ment and good government—then, I verily believe that the time must soon come when they will be roused from their dream of pride and fancied power, and superio rity, and pre-eminence by the voice of united millions proclaiming, in tones of thunder to their startled ears, that the will of the people is supreme, and must be obeyed." In quitting for the present the subject of Peerage Reform, we have disdained (not wishing to insult the plain sense of our readers) to make any reply to the verbose and pompously insane special pleading, by which it is pretended to be proved that the House of Lords is not constitutionally irrespon sible, because all men are morally responsible for their actions.—Fudge !—Morning Advertiser. We have made inquiries on the subject of Princ e Polignac and his ill-fated companions' release from Ham ; and we are authorised to state that immediate previous to the dissolution of the last French Cabinet a resolution was taken to end the term of their im prisonment. It was at the same time determined, to avoid the irritation which an unqualified release might occasion in the extreme Liberal circles, that for a cer tain period each of the gentlemen was to be detained in a different fortress, with liberty to walk about on parole, and under the surveillance of a special guar.' dian. Unfortunately for the health of the Prince and his companions, as well as for the honour of France and the personal character of Louis Philippe, the Ca binet was dismissed before the resolve could be put in execution, and the prisoners must still remain victims to injustice in.their living grave, until the French King can mould his new Ministers to his wishes in that regard, and until he feel secure in following the dictates of his head and heart. Though no great ad mirers of the King of the French, we are happy to record these instances of good feeling, which relieve his reign of some of its political discredit.—Morning Post. Wednesday morning, just before day-break, as a labouring man named Brichley was passing along a piece of waste ground near Paddington-green, his attention was at tracted towards a long white wicker basket, covered over with a fine napkin, and lying within a short distance of the foot path. He immediately went to the spot, and on removing the covering discovered a fine living child, quite naked, and ap parently newly born. While examining the napkin, in order to ascertain if there were any initials thereon, he was sur prised by the sudden approach of a tall female, elegantly at tired, and about twenty years of age ; she seemed in a dread ful state of agitation, and in a hurried manner asked him what he was looking at, at the same time placing in his hand a half-crown, and desiring him to proceed with all possible ex pedition to the nearest hackney-coach stand, and bring with him a vehicle, when she would further reward him for his trouble. The man then went away, and on his return with the coach found to his great surprise that the female, together with the basket and child, had disappeared. It has since been ascertained that soon after the above discovery a lady was seen to enter a cab, with a basket answering the above description, and drive off towards Piccadilly. In a field on Mendip, near Oakhill, is a fine crop of potatoes surpassing in quality and sire any seen in that neigh bourhood, the produce not of seed potatoes, but of the sprouts, which the country people of Somerset called chisims. These were taken off the potatoes, before sending them to market and planted, and the result proves that the poor man need not diminish his stock of food, but may use all his potatoes and yet have abundance of seed.---Bath Journal. PHEASANT SHOOTING IN OCTOBER.—The best time to find pheasants out of cover is the first hour after sun rise, when they are feeding in the adjacent stubble and potato fields. A few stragglers may be found in hedges near the closes in which they feed. At noon, when the sun shines bright, they will venture out of the woods, and bask under thick hedges, or holly bushes, or amongst brambles, but at no great distance from cover. During a dense fog pheasants ven ture farthest from the woods.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Blackburne, aged 44, was indicted for unlaw fully administering a certain drug to Hannah Mary Taylor, a pretty-looking girl, aged 17, one of his wife's apprentices, for an unlawful purpose. The particulars of the case (such of them at least as were fit for publication) appeared in our paper when the examinations took place at Guildhall. No new material circumstance was now elicited, and no attempt to shake the credibility of Hannah Mary Taylor failed. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned in Newgats for two years. INSOLVENT COURT-SATURDAY THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1836. AN EXTENSIVE PARISH DEFAULTER. William Dodd Bond, a tailor, formerly of Old Brentford, was opposed by Mr. Cresswell on the part of the church wardens of the parish of Ealing, and in person by a Mr. Hemmings. The insolvent was opposed on the ground of having committed a breach of trust to a considerable amount. In 1832 he was one of the oversesrs of Ealing parish ; in that year a collector having failed, the insolvent and Mr. H. Hemmings, who was also an overseer, gave a bond to the Commissioners of Land and Assessed Taxes, and became collector ; he was one of the overseers at the same time. The insolvent continued in office until April 1834, when it was ascertained that his defalcations to the parish as over seer amounted to 648/. 135., and as collector of Land and Assessed Taxes to no less than 1,197/. The former sum was admitted by the insolvent in the account he had ren dered and sworn to before Messrs. Floyd and Codd, the Magistrates, at Kensington Petty Sessions. Upon that amount being ascertained, a distress warrant was granted by the Magistrates on his property, to liquidate the de ficiency, but it was claimed by a market gardener named Newell, a brother-in-law, and the distress was with drawn, without any benefit arising to the parish. A warrant was afterwards obtained for his committal to the county gaol, but he had eluded the pursuits of the officers, and since 1834 the parish had lost sight of him, until they received the notice of his application to this Court. The parish offered a reward of 20/. for his apprehension, and afterwards 50t. The bill was produced in Court, these facts were proved by the vestry clerk of the parish, and Mr. Hemmings said his case was a short and glaring one : the insolvent had collected the rates, had ap propriated them to his own use, and he (Mr. Hemmings) had been called upon to pay no less than 1,1001. out of 1,179/., and he did not know how much more he should be called upon to pay. The insolvent, on his examination, stated that after he left Brentford he went to Rotterdam, where he remained some time. He came to England to receive 150/., as a consideration for executing a deed of separation between himself and wife ; that sum was offered to the parish and refused. He again returned to Holland, and remained until June last, when he came to England, and was arrested. He said he owed his brother-in-law, Newell, 1001., and gave him a warrant of attorney, on which an execution had been put in on his property, and the effects valued at 80/., and he held them by a bill of sale. The property was still on the premises, and his father car rying on the business. His brother-in-law was surety for him, and at the time the distress was levied by the parish he had not paid the money. The insolvent's debts amounted to 2,508 t., and his credits to 7001. On being asked how his large defalcations had arisen, he said that it had accrued from his having given paupers money, which he had not en tered, and from having laid out sums which the parish would not allow. It was stated that at the time the defi ciency was discovered he made no explanation. The Court observed that the insolvent had fraudulently made away with his property, and sentenced him to an imprisonment of eight calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A very great sensation has been caused in the metropolis, particularly in the City of London, by the report that the coal-owners are determined to give additional proof of the injurious combination which is stated to exist amongst them by an immediate increase in the price of the commodity for the London market. At the conclusion of the day's busi ness in the Justice-room on Saturday, the following com munication and request were made to the Lord Mayor, upon a subject on which it is known he entertains a most decided opinion. As the question appeared to him to be one of the very highest importance to the community, his Lordship did not hesitate to express from his seat in the Justice-room his readiness to afford every facility in his power to meet the object of those who might see, in what was going forward in the North, a necessity for adopting immediate measures of counteraction " MY LIORD MAYOR—I have received the inclosed letter from Sunderland, by which it appears the shipowners are de termined to resist the unjust attempt of the coalowners to raise the price of coals for the London market. Surely, my Lord, the inhabitants of London are sufficiently interested in this question to justify them in meeting, to oppose the aggrandize ment of a few coalowners at the expense of the general body of consumers. lam satisfied that if a public meeting of the inhabitants of the metropolis were convened, under the auspices of your Lordship, there would be no want of spirit in resisting an act of oppression which will operate most unjustly upon all, and with peculiar severity upon the few.—l have the honour to be, your Lordship's very obedient servant, " London, Sept. 24, 1836. " J. HALLEM." The following is the copy of a printed bill enclosed in the above-mentioned letter : " Port of Sunderland, Sept. 16, 1836. " A general meeting of the shipowners of the port is re quested to be held at the Exchange, on Monday next, at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration a letter received from the secretary of the coal trade, announcing the intention of the coalowners to raise the price of the best coals two shillings per chaldron, from the Ist of Octobor next, a measure which, the committee of this society submits, cannot be sufficiently deprecated and ought not to be submitted to. " By order, " JOHN R. KIDSON, " Secretary to the Shipowners' Society." The Lord Mayor wished it to be stated, as publicly as pos sible, that if a requisition were sent to him to call a meeting upon the subject of the apprehended increase in the price of coals he should deem it to be his duty to consent, at once, to the proposition, and to preside in the Guildhall, in order to give greater effect to the intention. Mr. A. Booth. practical chemist, of No. 59, Goswell-road, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and stated he had observed in the newspapers a communication from a gentleman of the same profession, to the Magistrates of Union Hall, re presenting the danger to be feared from the mixture of arsenic with the pork, bacon, and other articles of food in jured by the late fire at Fenning's wharf. It was, Mr. Booth said, well known to medical gentlemen, that great mischief had been often done by the contact of that poison with a broken skin, and there was not the slightest doubt that the use of bacon and pork with which arsenic-hap pened to be used in the making of soap would be pro ductive of the most injurious consequences. He made this last statement to the Lord Mayor because he knew from the interest his Lordship took in the matter for the sake of the public that the damaged food would be consigned by him to immediate, destruction—the only safe alternative. Alderman HUMPHERY, who was at the time adjudicat ing with the Lord Mayor, asked whether Mr. Booth under stood the manufactur e o f soap ? Mr. Booth was well acquainted with the process. Alderman HUMPHERY asked whether that process would not have the effect of destroying the corrosive quality of the arsenic, and thus rendering it harmless? Mr. Booth (as our reporter - understood him) said that the poison would retain its pernicious quality even after that process. A solution of arsenic was frequently applied in medical cases ; but he understood that, in the case of the pork and bacon, incrustations of arsenic were formed, and there could be no doubt that great mischief might result from " this" mixture. He was not a medical man ; but he knew that, in cases in which a cut finger came in contact with arsenic, paralysis of the arm was the consequence. The LORD MAYOR thanked Mr. Booth for his commu nication, which more completely proved the propriety of the caution with which he (the Lord Mayor) had acted in the affair the moment mention was made of the probability of danger. A gentleman who was present mentioned same instances of the indestructible nature of arsenic ; amongst others, the instance of a body, in the stomach of which was found a quantity of poison ten years after the death of the person who was killed by it. in that case the arsenic, which pre served the stomach entire, was found possessing fully its destructive mineral power. The moment the above statement was made the Lord Mayor received the following letter from Mr. Fennings : " Fenning's Wharf, Sept. 24, 1836. My Lord—With reference to your sentiments, which ap peared in the public journals of yesterday, respecting the pro visions that were impregnated by arsenic on my premises, I respectfully beg leave to request your Lordship's directions concerning the property, by disallowing any further delivery of such articles as may be used for diet. " I am, your Lordship's most obedient servant, " R. L. FENNING." The LORD MAYOR stated to the messenger that lie had no communication to make to Mr. Fenning on the subject. His Lordship then stated that he had observed a letter in some of the p apers f rom M r. F enu i ng , com pl a i n i ng o f no t having been afforded an opportunity of making an answer to the charge o f t h e I r i s h gent l eman , w h o complained at the Mansion -house of the demand for the salvage. He certainly felt sonic degree of surprise at such a statement, for he most particularly asked Mr. Fenning whether he had any question to ask, or any reply to make. His Lordship declared his readiness to receive any statements which Mr. Fenning might, at present, think proper to make, and he was sure that the full measure of justice would be done him by the press. MARLB ORO U GH- S TREE T. After the investigation of the statement of Agnes Graham on Thursday, it was agreed the girl should be, with her own consent, restored to the care of her foster parents, who had so unexpectedly come forward and made such singular disclosures. It was, howover, considered to be more beneficial to the girl, as the interest excited by her story remained unabated, that she should remain until the following Monday with her kind friends, the Dagnells. Mr. CHAMBERS on Saturday, wishing to have the num ber of the cab which came so mysteriously to Titchfield street, for the purpose of conveying a wa y th e g i r l , sent to know if any person belonging to Mrs. Dagnell could furnish him with it. A very respectably-dressed young woman came to the office, and announcing herself as the daughter of Mrs. Dag nell, said she came to give all the particulars in her power, and, in addition, to inquire of the m ag i s t ra t e if h e was per fectly satisfied that the girl's foster parents acted exactly from those disinterested and benevolent motives which they professed, for some persons of distinction, who had taken a warm interest in the girl's welfare, had recommended her (applicant's) mother not to relinquish her charge until some circumstances of rather a suspicious nature were cleared up. Mr. CHAMBERS told the young woman that it had been decided by those who were present during the investigation, and also with the free consent of the girl, that it would be the most advantageous mode of settling the matter, by allowing her foster parents to have the charge of her. He was quite satisfied of the truth of the foster parents' statement, and of the humanity of their motives, and he thought it could only be from interested motives that any person opposed this arrangement. The young woman disclaimed the intention of wishing to profit by the attention which had been attracted towards the girl, but having reason to suspect that the persons to whose care she was to be entrusted were not precisely what they represented themselves to be, she thought it was her duty to state her grounds of suspicion. Mr. CHAMBERS taxed the young woman with enter taining selfish views in her present application. Large sums of money had been given to her mother for her hu manity, he had every reason to believe, and as further ad vantages were likely to arise it did appear to him that from interested motives the young woman sought to prevent the girl from claiming the protection of her foster parents. The young woman with great warmth repelled the insi nuation. Her mother had acted without expecting the least return for her kindness, nor had she any idea that the disclosures which had taken place would have excited public attention in the remotest degree. Her mother did not seek for reward, and it was with difficulty she could be in duced to accept the gifts of those benevolent persons who came forward in consequence of what had transpired ; but as persons of distinction had requested that the girl might not be removed from her present protection, she thought it right to lay a communication before the Magistrate. Mr. CHAMBERS having intimated his readiness to hear her, the young woman said that on the morning after the case first appeared in the papers a person called on her and told her his name was - , and that he knew the mo ther of the girl, and the girl herself. He said that he adopted her at the age of twelve month s , an d w h en a b ou t six years old -,he girl had been taken from him by an order of the Court of King's Bench ; that the girl was the ille gitimate daughter of Lord C- ; and that 3,0001. had been paid to her mother after the girl had been taken from his care. He then pulled out a number of papers, and said he was in a situation to prove that the girl was entitled to a very considerable property, and he would do all he could to procure justice for her. He wished to have her under his care, but that was for the present refused, and he went away. The following' morning a man with a cab came to Titchfield-street, and presented a note, the purport of which was to request Mrs. Dagnell to accept 51., and to send the girl in the cab to her friends in the country. The man, who did not look like a cab-driver, received a pe remptory refusal, and he drove off. Shortly afterwards a female came, and said she had been deputed by a lady of title to inquire if she (Mrs. Dagnell) would, on being pre sented with a liberal rewar d f or h er kindness, give the girl into her charge, so that she might provide for her. The fe male (the wife of the girl's foster father, as applicant after wards learned) on receiving a general answer, went away. The foster father made a second call, at which time there were present General -, a magistrate of Windsor, and in a vio lent passion declared that the girl, Agnes Graham, was not the child he had adopted, and that in fact the girl, her mother, and herself were impostors. Now, when she found that this same individual had within a very short space of time retracted his words, owned the girl in the presence of the Magistrate and another, and had obtained the consent of all parties to have the girl transferred again to him, she could not help thinking that some further in quiry was requisite, especially as she knew that the foster parents had lived in London for many years, and were in circumstances which did not warrant them incurring such an expense. Her mother had also received letters, warn ing her against the character of the foster parents. Mr. CHAMBERS said he would not hear the character of a person taken away, of whose respectability he was convinced, and of whose humanity the most convincing proofs existed. The young woman replied, she wished to hurt no ones character ; she only communicated facts. All she wanted was that the truth of what she had stated might be ascer tained, so that the poor girl, from want of caution, did not again become a sufferer. The young woman then retired. It has been reported that the father of the girl is a Noble Lord, not unconnected with the present Ministry, as a laison has been known to exist for some years between him and the girl's mother. The foster father, however, posi tively asserts, if the story of the young woman Dagnell is to be credited, that she is the daughter of a celebrated de ceased nobleman. A celebrated architect was speaking of the difficulty there would be in destroying the old London Bridge, " none at all," said his friend, " shoot it."

REPORTED MURDER OP A WOMAN BY HER HUSBAND.—A great sensation has been caused in the village of Tovil, near Maidstone, by a tragic and melancholy event which occurred there on Saturday evening last. The de ceased was the second wife of a man, named Covis. Three weeks after their marriage, it is reported in the neighbour hood, that she was heard to cry out " Murder." On Satur day night last, the deceased came into Maidstone, and pur chased some meat, which she carried home, and cooked for her husband's supper. After supper, they went up stairs to retire to rest, and shortly after the neighbours heard cries of distress proceeding from the house, as well as violent strug gling, and a heavy fall. A number of persons collected round the door, which they burst open, and found Covis waiting to receive them, who threatened to knock down the first who at- tempted to enter. He, in fact, carried his threat into execu tion, but several other persons rushed into the house, and the poor woman was found lying at the foot of the stairs appa rently dead. Being raised in the arms of one of the persons who had entered, she sighed once, and instantly expired.— Kent Herald. An impatience rarely witnessed on the announce ment of a literary work, has been manifested by the public for the appearence of Mr. Washington Irving's " Astoria." " From this author," says a contemporary critic, " we have the humours of every -day life in America—the traditionary peculiarities of the Dutch founders of New York—the nicest shades of the school of English manners of the last century_ the chivalry of the middle ages in Spain—the glittering visions of Moorish romance—a deep insight into the passions and pathos of the human heart—and, lastly, the whole unhacknied freshness of the West—life beyond the border—a hunt on Buffalo ground —a camp outside the frontier. This is Mr. Irving's range, and in every part of it he is equally at home." CURIOUS NATURAL PROFILES.—One side of Moel-y-gest, a hill near Tre' Madoc, Carnarvonshire, when viewed from the high road at Criccieth, presents a profile of the humane countenance which bears a remarkable resemblance to the Duke of Wellington. This hill is about 1,000 feet highi and the side which presents this prodigious p or t ra i t f aces the North at the inclination of about 45 degrees, so that the face is turned upwards, as if the body lay in a horizontal po sition, with the head raised upon a pillow. The features are very distinctly defined. A similar phenomenon is found in b New Hampshire, United States; for formingpart of a rang e , called the White Mountains, is the Profile Mountain, so called in consequence of one side of it bearing a very accurate out line of the lumen face. Another occurs near Edinburgh, immediately beneath the Monument of Nelson, on Calton hill. is a rocky precipice of about 100 feet high ; the face of this precipice, when viewed from the south of Holyrood Palace, about half a mile distant, presents a profile in every way well proportioned, bearing a strong resemblance to the hero of Trafalgar. Another instance of the freaks of nature exists at Malta, in the Lion Rock, which emerges froM the sea at the height of several yards, and forms a gigantic statue of a recum bent lion. To these may be added a remarkable stone be tween Carnarvon and Beddgelert, about four miles from the latter place, which bears a strong resemblance to the profile of that "heaven-born minister" William Pitt; the road passes close to it.—Carnarvon Herald. An ipteresting discovery was made near the Gowts bridge, at the beginning of last week, by some workmen digging for foundations to some new houses. About six feet below the present surface they found a fine stratum of bril. liant red sand, which contained two human skeletons, buried north and south, together with four jars, a curious flagon, and a dish, all of fine Roman pottery. Two of the jars contained skulls, and the others burnt bones. The site is upwards of a mile from the walls of the Roman Linum, and must have been that of a suburban cemetery.—Lincoln Gazette.
