SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNDI6 PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES. --The Washington Union of the 31st of October publishes a declaration on the subject of the Oregon territory, which is regarded in the United States as a precursor of the President's message, and a distinct intimation of the course which the American Cabinet are prepared to follow. We sha ll not, however, deal with the; reckless and injurious production as if it were a state paper. The pen from which it emanates is evi dently alike unconscious of the restraint of public duty and the decorum of political life, and Mr. Polk will soon answer for himself, without being made to share the disgrace of such anonymous incendiaries as these. We perceive, however, with satisfaction, that the language of the most influential journals of New Yock, Boston, andh and Philadelphia continue s to be q uite as temperate, quite as averse to war for so miserable an object, al . t h e s i nc erest friends of peace ca n desire. In spite o f the efforts which have been made in the United States t d o le seminate and accredit an exaggerated and one-sided view of the American claims beyond the Rocky Mountains, the pretensions of the Government are not unan imously upheld by the con victions of the most enl ightened classes, eepbcially of the Whig party; and the politicians of New York are not so infatuated as to overlook the disastrous consequences of a war with Great Britain, for theepurpose of making acquisitions upon the coasts of the Pacific which must at least be indifferent or injurious to themselves. They argue that the value of the whole Oregon territory is infinitesimally small compared with the interests that would be sacrificed by a war, and that a question which has admitted of half a century of dis cussion cannot be of vital interest to the honour of the United States. In these views, it is needless to say, we cordially concur, and we only wish they were as general as they are sound and sensible. It cannot be too often repeated that the question has been brought into its pre sent embarrassing and threatening condition by the United States' Government, and not by Great Britain. It would have been easy for the negotiators and Minis ters of this country at former periods to have put forward a case for the establishment of the exclusive sovereignty of England over the whole country, founded on discovery and occupation, and at least equal to any claim which American statesman could maintain. But nothing of the kind has been done by us. Throwing aside all the superior and earlier grounds of sovereignty which we might have urged, and disclaiming that very sovereignty which we might have asserted, we have taken our stand upon the treaty of 1790, and from first to last we have demanded and exercised no more than the right of joint occupancy which that treaty secured to ourselves in common with the Spaniards. The Ame ricans, who have now succeeded by the treaty of 1819 to this right of Spain, endeavour to make more out of it than Spain herself could ever have made. They seek, by dint of introducing fresh, irrelevant, and contestable evidence, to weld an original claim of their own to exclusive sovereignty over the country upon this acknowledged right of joint occupancy between Eng land and Spain; and the first use they make of this juggle of rights is to contend for our absolute expulsion from a country we have held, with one exception, for fifty years, and which we only seek to continue to hold on the same terms. Such attempts, especially when they are encouraged by vehement declarations on the part of the President of the Republic, amount to a positive inva sion of our existing territorial right. Their object is to deprive us of something we actually possess and have long possessed ,_• and thus far the whole character of t he transaction is offensive on the part of the United States, and defensive on that of England. We can scarcely regret the extreme moderation of the conduct of forirer British Governments in this negotiation (though wehold it to have been below what the facts of the case would have justified), when we see the strength it must give our position in the eyes of the world. If we are driven to war itself, the world will comprehend and acknow ledge that we are not sacrificing the peace of the globe to the acquisition of a sterile territory—that we are not even denying the right of the Americans to form settle ments in that territory, since we admit their joint occu pancy,—but that we are defending the great and funda mental right of occupation by British subjects under the faith of a treaty and the protection of the Crown ; and that such a right is in every part of the globe equally inviolable. The American case is in every . respect the opposite of our own ; it is a pure aggression ; it ac knowledges no concurrent right in its rival ; it seeks only to drive out the men who have held the country for half a century •, and, as if an arrogant presumption could supply the place of real confidence, it refuses to submit these claims to the test of arbitration. We are not much surprised at the pertinacity with which this last proposal has been rejected, for a slight degree of investigation would satisfy any impartial judge that in the course of the last thirty years the whole question has been shifted, until it has assumed a shape never dreamed of in 1814. At Ghent, in that year, and in the subsequent negotiations of 1818, 1824, and 1826, the northern boundary of the United States was considered by the American plenipotentiaries to run along the 49th degree parallel of latitude. The ques tion then pending between Great Britain and the United States, as is repeatedly stated on both aides in the course or those transactions, re lated to the territory south of that parallel,' th ati is, between latitude 49 deg. and latitude 42 deg.; the Ame ricans claimed the whole of it, the English proposed to eivide it. But as to the northern tract of the same re gion, extending from lat. 49 deg. to latitude 50 deg. 40 min., no discussion whatever took place; and until very recently no one called in question the exclusive right of Great Britain to that :region, to which certainly no Spanish settlers or navigators laid any claim whatever. ' This claim, therefore, extending from the frontier of Mexico to that of Russia, and excluding us from the coast of the Pacific altogether and from the Straits of Fuca, is a novelty. It was probably originally put for ward to facilitate the acquisition of the portion which the Cabinet of Washington did claim ; but recent pub lications have confounded the whole tract together, and we aro now gravely told by the organ of the Ame• rican government that Mr. Polk is prepared to declare in the most unequivocal terms the absolute right of the United States to the whole Oregon territory down to the Russian line. It is natural that these exorbitant pretensions should meet with little encouragement in New England and New York ; but the moderate party which utterly failed in preventing the annexation of Texas, will have still less chance of success in arresting the policy of the President on this occasion. On the contrary, Texas herself will immediately send representatives to the Lower House and to the Senate, who will promote the cause of the party by which they have been them selves absorbed. The rapid and enormous increase of population to the South and West must warn any American statesman ambitious of democratic support that the real elements of power in such a community are in growth there, and are cora parati vely stationary in the older parts of the coun try. The New England states will ere long be to the Union i.o more than the Welsh counties are to Great Britain. They are already quite outnum bered in the House of Representatives ; and the party of which they are the nucleus will now be outvoted in the S-nate. To form therefore a correct estimate of the pad cy of such a politician as Mr. Polk we must look net to .the reason and experience of her eastern states, but to the turbulence and numerical strength of the West. There the country runs no risk of invasion. The telrenterons habits of a new people are ever disposed to warfare. Even the burden of taxation would fall on the mercantile class; and in the west there is a vague prnesetetiment that another generation will cross the a•lcyM cuntains, anti launch its fleets on the Pacific. Steele motives and tendencies as these a wise and firm Gov-an:tient would seek only to correct and restrain. But we qasstion whether Mr. Polk has the intention or the power to do either one or the other; and we are fully prepared to learn that he is exciting what he dares not attempt to control. Meanwhile, it must be assumed from the Lan yiae,.e of the American official papers, that the nego tietton is virtually at an end—that is to say, not that it hes be en violently broken off, but that the proposals matte en both sides have been respectively rejected and that no further proposals are now pending between the tn.. Governments, unless the plan of arbitration be re turned. Such we believe to be the true state of the case. The assertion of some of our Contemporaries, that Mr. P.tkeriliain had proposed that the question should remain in abeyance for twenty years, and that the inhabitants of Orrgoir should then determine their own political rela tioee to Great Britain or to the union, is, we are con vinced, wholly unfounded, for it would amount to a disguise.] surrender of all the rights of the Hudson's lit) , Company. The probability is, that Congress will glee! notice that the provisional treaty now in force shall expire in twelve months ; and we shall then discover whether the American Government is prepared to act upon the views it professes to entertain. As for our selves, the dfactual defence of our own positions in the ceueto and on the Columbia is all we have at present to prori,le fer ; but if the provisional treaty be termi nated by either party, the principle of joint occupation will cease, and our original rights to the country will be revived to their full extent. CHRONICLE.—The most serious and important war that can rage in the United States, is now that between Angle-American at .d Spaniard, or between Anglo- Atoerican and English, although these two make all the noise, and attract all attention. the real strife is that Nwle'ch is carriedon them UnitedStatea itself, between in telligence and humanity on the one hand, physical force and slavery on the other. It is the struggle between the ve l em Teial, and manufacturing. and religious north, and the race of planters which lord it over the south. The bat: le was long fought, and is still in some degree main tained, between two aristocracies—the aristocracy of manufactures, money, and trade, and the landed aristo cracy in the south. Between these two parties there existed,'and does exist in the United States, a third, attic :i ought arid might have held the balance b e tween the two aristocracies, and corrected the arrogance of both. Mei.; thin] party is the genuine democracy of the cointry—tho people, the earners, the mo lerately rich, thou: intsrested in individual independence and popular freedom. It would have been much more natural for this, the real democratic party of the Union, t o have a lli e d with t h e Whig, as the American Conservatives are called, than with the slave -holding, aristocracy of the south. But in .America, even more than elsewhere, the aristocracy of moneyed wealth and intelligence has ex cited the jealousy. and thereby . the hatred, of the people. From this cause there has arisen, in the north-eastern states, a democratic party, opposed to the _Whigs, and allied with what we should call the ruffianly politicians of the south-west. We are sorry to use so hard a word as " ruffianly;" but really there is no other so true or so expressive of the Jacksonian school, as exemplified in its treatment of Florida and Texas, and of the moneyed iclrkfin 'gni& at home. The political dissenters of e democrats of New York may be h P 4 4 1 • with the Jacksonians from the cOmmott 'SOW\ ich both bear to the monied aristioOteV.e " is is merely social hatred on the fa, rittirr"alh, , s, for in interest they cannot help • Din u(Airtani tit that rotective or prohibitive sys steurez pr otective or prohibitive 5Y5 the democrats of this region have dres/ which lepends the prosperity of the -.7ncirthem_itaiet --But the democrats of this region have 3 sacrificed their interest to their feelings, at least so they find. Notwithstanding the care they took in the con ventions, which preceded the last presidential election, to stipulate for the interests of the north, still they con sented to elect a personal friend of Jackson, and one of his school, however moderate and obscure. Mr. Polk promised at first to act impartially. and fairly to the two democratic sections which united in elevating him. He even leaned at first towards the northern democrats, got rid of Calhoun, and appointed Buchanan. But success has rendered him arrogant ; for he now boldly avows his determination to follow the pure Jacksonian policy, to run the risk, in his defiance of Great Britain, even of annexing regions from which slave states may be made, to lower the tariff, and deny the New England states their present rate of protection. The Van Burenites are furious, and ory treason, whilst the Whigs point at the dupes and mock them. This would be a serious matter for Polk, were he to be re-elected. But he has three years of rule be tore him, and he seems resolved to pursue his policy, and signalize his reign by triumphs in his own sphere of views. In these he may persist, in these succeed; but the result inevitably must be a falling off of the northern democrats from the men of Tennessee, and a better un derstanding with the Whigs. This will unite the north against the south, and thus resuscitate that serious strife, within the bowels of the Union, from which the Ameri cans have more to fear, and to which they had much better look, than to English hostility, or European in terference. It is a startling fact, and not a welcome one, to find that as the United States advance in power and population, the Government, and political influence in general, seem more and more to desert its intellectual re gions, and to centre in States where the energy of unclad lised passions reigns uncontrolled. The ruling party of the Union is no longer to be found in New York or Philadel phia, but in Tennessee. The qualities of an orator or a statesman at once and forever exclude an American from becoming the president of his republic. In these days, to be a successful candidate, one must be a rude planter of the west, a slave dealer, a wielder of the bowie-knife, a denizen of the back woods. Some Americans proposed to stipulate that the President of Texas should become President of the United States, provided he would carry annexation. The choice was not unnatural. The wilder the candidate, the nearer to the extreme verge of civi lisation, in character as well as in abode, the fitter does a man seem to win the admiration and respect and at tachment of parties in the United States. They seem unwittingly to adopt the old paradox of Rosseau, that a man in the savage state only is virtuous and wise It will be a deplorable and singular effect of this ascendancy of the backwoodsmen over the men of knowledge and the men of wealth, if the former should provoke a war with England, of which the latter must necessarily bear all the blows. The men of the west are invulnerable end untaxable. They may go forth to joie in, and enjoy, the sport of war which they have set on foot. But they can en dure neither the disasters nor expenses of it. Having worked a most groundless jealousy and fear of British power and ambition, through the thick-headed stupidity of the northern democratic party, who swallowed such nonsense and re-bellowed it forth, the cunning south westers have made use of it to annex Texas, and lay thereon the foundation of an electoral majority' which it is beyond the power of the northerns ever effectually to resist. Having made use of the northern cat's-paw to get the nut out of the fire, they , would now thrust the same paw to grope in hot cinders for the Oregon, that blindest of nuts even if acquired. To hear er read New York journalists spurring and befooling their ignorant townspeople, by dinning into their ears that England wants California, and is about to pur chase it ; that she was in the market for Texas the other day; and that her whole efforts are strained, in order to do some little spite to the United states of America—that, therefore, it is just and wise te defy England, and that America can with impunity defy England, because Liverpool and Manchester could not exist without American cotton—to hear people, pre tending to reason and knowledge, uttering such non sense as this, which would not impose upon an ape, and getting men even worse than apes, to believe them, does really present such an example of self-complacent yet . malignant idiotism, that we are led to doubt altogether the once proverbial keenness of the Yankee, and to be lieve, that in seeing high political influence transferred from New York to Tennessee, and from the Northern to Southern races, and purely to serve Southern purposes —that this is merely the natural transfer of power from the stupid to the crafty, and from ignorant and self sacrificing spite te sharp-witted and calculating cunning. As to the Whigs—the John Adaanses, the Henry Clays, the Daniel Websters they seem des tined to disappear like the other lost species of Ame rican life, to have their skeletons turned up at some futtire day by some historic antiquary. In the provincial elections even of the north, the Whig in fl uence has dwindled to nothing. At a Whig meeting the other day, more than one-half were for marching to the Oregon, which does not surprise us. If they could discover a new hemisphere they should emigrate to it, for the poli tical deluge has overwhelmed them iu America. But those who remain—by divesting themselves of the name of Whig, by disavowing talent, concealing wealth, ab juring oratory and statesmanship, and thus permitting themselves to be absorbed by the more vulgar Demo crats—may survive as a part of them, and may in this manner resuscitate that struggle of North against South, of intellect against barbarism, and of freedom against slavery, in which once lived and reposed the hopes and wospects of the New World. FREE PARDON FOR SAMUEL CHAMBERS. _ We have great pleasure in giving insertion to the fol lowing letters, and do not doubt that equal pleasure will be felt by our readers in perusing them : _ " 30, Cadogan-place, Nov. 18, 1845. "Dear Sir,—l have the satisfaction to send a copy of the reply to the application made to the Secretary of State in the case of Samuel Chambers, by which you will see that the opinion given in 1844 by the Attor ney-General is confirmed; that a pardon is, of course, to be granted; and that steps are to be taken to ensure to Chambers a free passage home from Van Dieman's Land.—l am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, " J. Thompson, Esq.' , " WYNN' ELLIS. (Copy.) " Whitehall, Nov. 13, 1845. " Sir,—With reference to your letter of the 30th 0 June last, transmitting a petition in behalf of Samue Chambers, who was convicted at Leicester in 1844, and under his sentence, transported to Van Dieman's Land, I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to ac quaint you that further inquiry has been made relative to the case, from which it appears that the conviction was bad. Sir James Graham has therefore recommended a free pardon, which will be immediately prepared and dispatched to the colony, together with orders for the free passage of Samuel Chambers to this country, if ho should de:Are it.—l am, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) " Wynn Ellis, Esq., M.P., &c." A gentleman in this town has taken great interest n the case, started off immediately upon receipt of the good news to convey the intelligence to poor Chambers's wife and family. They, as our readers may perhaps remem ber, are living at Awsworth, a village about eight miles beyond Nottingham. Our informant states that he called upon the Rev. Mr. Lund, who accompanied him to the cottage where the poor man's wife resided, and gra dually broke the news to her. We leave our readers to imagine the effect of the tidings ; it was worth while being the messenger to witness it.—Leice.ter Chronicle. "S. M. PHILLIPS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

IPSWICH INCOME-TAX COMMISSIONERS.—Accounts have reached us from various parties that the affairs of the Income-tax Commissioners in this town, are neither con ducted with courtesy, good feeling, and, we were about adding, common good faith towards those who seek for justice at their hands. Whether this is occasioned by the Commis sioners themselves, or through their functionary, we are not informed. We are told that surcharges on grounds the most frivolous have been made, and a wide feeling prevails that this cannot be done either through inadvertence or a fairly grounded presumption that such surcharge approaches nearer the income tban the return made. At any rate, where an official addition has been made to the presumed taxable income of a person, the Commissioners should at least perform so much of their duty as requires them to hear the appeal of the party, particularly when they have themselves fixed the day of appeal. Wednesday last was a day of appeal„the time of hearing eleven o'clock. Though appealing parties were present, not a Commissioner made his appearance until two o'clock, then only one, and it is said the proceedings dragged their slow length along until half-past three, when an adjournment took place until Thursday, in order, says a correspondent, that " Mr. Gross might go home to dinner." On Thursday, a few Commissioners attended, it is true, but only, we suppose, after they had been told, that if parties who hal attended punctually on the previous day were called by their business and professions many miles on the next, that the Commissioners must take the con sequence. The tax itself is surely odious enough, without being rendered more so by those whose duty it is to render it less disagreeable.—Suffolk Chronicle. BIRKENHEAD. — TURN• OUT OF WORKMEN AT THE NEW Doers.—On Wednesday last a portion of the labourers employed on the works connected with the new decks struck for an advance of wages. In the morning about 300 of them assembled in Cannon-street, and marched in a body from thence to Chester-street, where they dispersed shortly after wards. During the afternoon some stones were thrown at several of the men who had refused to leave off work, and there was a second meeting in Chester-street, when the police were called out. The men who had assembled were, however, very peaceable, with the exception of one or two of the leaders, who used some violent and threatening language to the police, which led to their being taken into custody. The parties who have struck are termed the day men, and we understand they seek an advance from 2s. gd., and in some cases 2s. 10d. to 3s. per day. Yesterday numbers of them were loitering about the streets.—Liverpool Mercury. Tr4E TOME OF THE MARTYR DR. TAYLOIL.—We lament to learn that the tomb of Dr. Taylor, in the field near Hadleigh, which was the scene of his martyrdom, has, within the last week, been very much injured, either by wanton mischief or by malignant feeling against the memory of him who sealed with his Wood his confession of the Pro testant faith.—Norfolk News.

DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP AIIEONA. BY FIRE. — The following is an extract from the log-book of the barque Diamond, Pearse, commander, of this port, which arrived here, Newport, from St. John's, N. 8., on Saturday, 15th instant, after 33 days' passage :—" Monday, Nov. 10th, wind S.E., let. 50, 16 N. long., by chronometer, 8 30 W.; at 1 r.m , saw smoke on the weather bow,—supposed it was a steamer. On nearing, it proved to be a ship on fire. Passed to leeward of her; tacked, and stood towards her. She was a mass of fire on deck, except a small part forward ; her bowsprit was out, and her masts under the bows. She had a gilt female bust head, and a board, with the words New Ross,' in gilt letters, floated alongside. Supposed to be a ship of 500 tons, timber laden. At 3 P.m., hauled our wind, and proceeded." By subsequent accounts, it appears that the ill-fated ship was the Abeona, of New Boss, from Quebec to Waterford. We have heard that her crew were safely landed at Liverpool a few days ago.—lllonmouthshire Merlin. Lady Peel arrived in town on Saturday afternoon from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. PARISH OF MARYLEBONE. CITY POLICE COMMITyr-E, inne.brushi ushmg. The On Friday, at the weekly meeting of the directors and LICENSED VICTUALLEng r ng up has already guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone, F. W. Bushill, Esq., Mr. Thomas Po in the chair, a report was brought up in answer to the gene- ci,.--- inmissiQue a m nd :Id ral order received from the Poor-law Co respect to the employment of paupers in bone-^ — . ......i , substance of the order prohibiting the Committee brought eefo l I T o w f i ioongN reportthe Secretary, r t e h t appeared in our columns. the following Board, as a reply to the communication from adoption by the Commissioners ; the Poor-law .t.:4 St. Marylebone, 21st Nov., 1845. "At the Board of Directors and Guardians of the Poor, present, F. W. Bushill, Esq.. in the chair, a communication from the Poor•law Commissioners, accompanied with a general order, prohibiting bone-crushing in workhouses, having been read, it was resolved :-- "That the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Mary lebone, in acknowledging the receipt of the communication from the Poor-law Commissioners, accompanied with a gene ral order prohibiting bone-crushing in workhouses, feel sur prised that such communication should have been forwarded to them, as implying the possibility of such practices having taken place in the workhouse under their control. They dis tinctly disclaim having been parties to the employment of the poor in any such inhuman and disgraceful manner, and deprecate in the strongest terms the accumulation of bones and other putrid matter in union workhouses, densely occu pied by half-starved human beings, who are set to the re volting work of crushing and pounding the same," &c. Mr. PcrrrEn moved the adcltion of the report, which was carried unanimously, and a copy thereof ordered to be sent to the Poor-law Commissioners. ...ND THE CITY POLICE.-- _...ason, the landlord of the Mitre Tavern, ...eery-lane, was summoned before Alderman Wilson and Hooper for refusing t.) admit one Amos Bennett, a police-constable, into his premises on the morning of Sunday, the 9th inst., during divine service. Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, who ap peared for the defendant, wished, before the case was gone into, to know under what Act the information was laid. He found that the only one which in any way could relate to it was the 4th and sth William IV., and which had express reference to beer-shops, and not to licensed victuallers. The preamble of the Act clearly stated for what purpoae it was framed, via., to affect houses that retailed beer, ale, porter, and cider, which were beer-shops. The penalty clause would also more fully bear out the interpretation he put on the Act, and, therefore, he trusted his objections would be sufficient to satisfy the Bench they had no authority to entertain the information. Mr. Alderman WILSON, after consulting with his bro ther Alderman, observed that the seventh clause of the Act mentioned houses opened for the sale of spirits, mid therefore the Bench considered that the case ought to proceed. The objection was of such onsidera.ble im portance that, in the event of a conviction, he would re commend Mr. Child to appeal against their decision to the Sessions. The Bench, however, were not prepared to allow Mr. Child the meaning he put upon the Act. The constable, Amos Bennett, No. 353, was then called.—He said that about ten minutes before twelve at noon on Sunday, the 9th instant, he went in private clothes to the defendant's house. and knocked at the door for admittance. After staying about a quarter of an hour, the defendant's wife put her head out of an up stairs window, and asked who was knocking. He re plied that it was the police, who had come to visit the house. He remained a short time longer, and finding that his application was perfectly useless he left, but heard the defendant say inside, h e would be d—d if he would open his house to the police. Mr. Alderman WILSON wished to know by whose order the police went to licensed victuall ers i n p r i va te clothes ?—The constable replied that it was at the direction of his inspector, who got his orders from the Ccmmissioner. Mr. Alderman HOOPER asked if there was discrimi nation used? Did the police visit houses only that were suspected of carrying on Sunday trading, in private clothes, or indiscriminately ?—The constable answered that they were sent out in private clothes, with a view of better detecting Sunday trading. Mr. Alderman HOOPER thought such a proceeding per fectly unnecessary, and he considered that it ought to be discontinued. Was the defendant suspected of opening his house on a Sunday morning for the sale of exciseable liquors ? Surely there . ought to be some reason why policemen went in disguise to licensed victuallers in the way the defendant had been visited. The constable said he had' never detected anything wrong in the way the defendant conducted his house. There was a side-door up a court to the premises, how ever, which excited their suspicious, as frequently seve ral persons had been lurking about. Mr. Alderman WILSON did not see that a number of persons strolling about a publican's door would show that it was opened for Sunday trading ; in fact, it was quite the reverse. It showed that they would not be ad mitted, and were waiting until after divine service, when it would be opened. Mr. Child did not deny the charge that bad been laid against the defendant, but he would contend that his client was perfectly justifiable in the course he had pur sued. His door was knocked at by a man in private clothes, who said that he was a policeman ; but what proof had the defendant of such being the fact ? Even if he had been in uniform, and had not his band round his arm, which alone showed that he was on duty, his admittance could not have been legally demanded ; at least, if it had been complied with, and a policeman was found on his premises by constables who were on duty, the defendant would be liable to be brought to that Court for a similar offence as he was now charged with. Would the Bench countenance such a system as the police prowling about as spies, dressed in disguise, for the express purpose of entrapping licensed victual lers? What security had the defendant that the police man was not an impostor, and that he mentioned his being of the police to get into the house to obtain re freshments; and suppose that he really was an impos tor, and the defendant had incautiously admitted him; his client, in the event of being visited in reality by the police, would be summoned to that Court for a like offence he was then charged with. He trusted, there fore, that the Bench would dismiss the case; for, view the evidence in any way that was most likely to press against the defendant, it could not be denied that the defendant had acted in the most proper manner. He had his house locked up, and he took the most secure step in not opening it. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN having had a short consulta tion with Mr. Alderman Hooper, said he did not ap prove of the plan of policemen going to licensed vic tuallers in private clothes, and seeking admission ; and he had not heard any reason why they had adopted such a system of detection. The Bench believed that the defendant did not think that the party knocking was a policeman, and therefore the case was dismissed. As regarded the objections made by Mr. Child, at the com mencement of the inquiry, the Bench did not give an opinion. Mr. Alderman HOOPER entirely coincided with his brother Alderman's remarks, and he begged to state that a publican had no right to open his house to any per sons but those attired in the pulice uniform. The sum mons was accordingly discharged. POLICE IN TELLIGEN CS. BOW-STREET. On Saturday two men, named Carey and Davis, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Twyford, on a charge of steal. ing a marble figure of a cow, value 201., the property of Mr. Brown, a sculptor, in University-street, Tottenham-court road. _ _ _ _ _ _ It appeared, from the evidence of a workman in the employ of the prosecutor, that the figure was placed for show in the sculpture room of his house, which was open all day, and, about a fortnight ago, was missed. It was so heavy that it would require two men to carry it away. He had since seen the same figure at the shop of Mr. Whistler, a pawnbroker, in the Strand. kshopman in Mr. Whistler's house proved that the cow was brought to his master's shop by the prisoners on the let instant. They placed it on the counter, and said they wished to pawn it. Witness lent them 30s. on it. A day or two afterwards Davis called again, and inquired whether witness could not advance more money upon it. He gave him another sovereign, and told him that, if he would call again, he would ascertain its value, and, if possible, grant him a further loan upon it. In the meantime, however, they were both taken into custody. Joseph Thompson, a police-constable, stated, that from in formation he received, he apprehended Clarey about a week since. He told him he was charged with stealing a cow, upon which he declared he knew nothing of it. He subse quently took the ether prisoner into custody, and, he on learn ing the charge, said he had been empl o y e d by Cl are y and a man called " Jerry " (a well known thief) to pawn the cow, and that he had received only two shillings as his share of the proceeds. The prisoners, who declined making any defence, were corn mitted for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Saturday, George Banham, 84 B, was charged before Mr. Burrell with breaking a poor girl's arm. Sarah Brady, the complainant, who was very poorly and wretchedly clad, said, that on the evening of Saturday week she had occasion to come to Westminster, and was returning towards home at about 12 at night,when she met a man with whom she had been acquainted. She was walking by his side up Tothill-street, engaged quietly in c onversa ti on w ith him, when on arriving at the corner of a court, defendant came up, and,ordering her to go on,shoved herdownthe court. She told him that she did not live that way, and was going home. Defendant, however, would insist upon her going that way, in consequence of which she remained in the court for a minute or two, until he had gone on another part of his beat, when she came out and joined her friend, and they pro ceeded to the corner of Dean-street, where she was bidding him good night, when defendant came up again, and, with out speaking a word, seized her by the arm, turned her round, and pushed her some distance up the street, and then left her. She leant up against a hoarding, and finding her self in great pain, and her arm useless, she informed her friend, who recommended her to go immediately to the Wesminster Hospital, which she did. It was there found that her arm was broken, and the house-surgeon having set it, she went to the station and complained of defendant's conduct. The young man alluded to, and another who was in com pany with him at the time, confirmed the girl's account of the defendant's violence. Inspector Forbes was then called, and said that when com plainant came to the stati , n to prefer a complaint against the policeman she was drunk. Defendant had been in the force six years, and bore a very fair character. There had been some trivial reports against him, and one for drun kenness. Mr. BURRELL observed that, after the distinct evidence which had been given for the prosecution, it would be very difficult for him to come to any other conclusion than that the girl had bden treated with great violence. She might have been obstructing the way, but that would not justify o f great violence towards such treatment as she had received. He did not impute to defendant for a moment that he had intended to break the girl's arm, but he had been guilty her, and he must convict him in the penalty of 51. The fine was paid. WANDSWORTH. On Saturday four labouring men applied to Mr. Clive for summonses against a man named Davis, who is a " gauger" on the Richmond Railway, for the non-payment of wages. John Nagle, the spokesman of the party, stated that he went to work on the Richmond Railway, at Barnes, on Mon day week. A man named Davis, who is the gauger on that portion of the line, engaged him and others, and agreed to give them 2s. 6d. a day for their labour. When they asked for the money Davis gave them what he called shilling tickets, and tell them to go to his shop. Having no money they were obliged to go to his shop and be satisfied with what was given: them. He, with eight or nine others, asked Davis on Friday morning to let them have money instead of tickets. He said he could not settle with them then, and kept them waiting until twelve o'clock, when they were told, as they had broken the day, they were not allowed to go to work ; so that at the present time they were without work or money. Mr. LIVE—I am afraid you can make nothing of it. You have consented to be paid in tickets, and it is very probable that - there is little or nothing coming to you. If, when you first went to work, you had refused to accept tickets, but required money, and the party had declined giving it you then, I would, upon your applying to me, have granted a summons instantly. Even now I will grant you one, but I fear you will be throwing your money away. The applicant then said he would take a summons out, but on being asked for the court fees, two shillings, he de clared that he had no money. Mr. CLIVE observed that he should not grant the sum mons unless the fees were forthcoming. The applieant and the other men declared that they had not a farthing in the world, and left the Court. - - AYLESBURY, Nov. 20.—The adjourned Sessions for this county were held yesterday before Sir Thomas Aubrey, Bart., Chairman, and a bench of magistrates. Baron Meyer Rothschild took the oaths, and qualified as a magistrate for the county. At these sessions, Grenville Pigott, Esq., re signed the situation of deputy-chairman, in consequence of his having been appointed one of her Majesty's Puor•law Com. mizsioners. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE NORTH LONDON JUNCTION UNION RAILWAY. On Saturday Mr. RIDGEWAY presented a memorial, signed by sixty-four inhabitants of St. John's ; wood, against a new line of railway, projected from the Great Western Railway, to be called the " North London Junction Union Railway" —(A laugh)—which, after passing by a tunnel under the Edgeware-road, was to have an opening forty-two feet deep, and four hundred wide, in St. John's - wood, and cutting in twain the road with its plantations to Primrose-hill, would by a circuitous route cross the Birmingham line to Holloway, thence to Frogmore lane, and ultimately to its terminus in Fore-street.—(lmmense laughter.) The gentlemen who signed the memorial had beneficial interests in their properties, which would be destroyed, and parish property would also be in jured by the proposed line, as it would drive from the neigh bourhood its present respectable and wealthy inhabitants. In his opinion, although he was not opposed to main trunks, for he thought that they would provebeneficial, those branch lines would impoverish thousands, and render men and money scarce.—(Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE concurred in many points with the last speaker, and would express his belief that of the 199 railway schemes projected, they would see no other but the ones al ready perfected. The railway alluded to in the memorial was a new one, different from that which was to run through the Regent's-canal, and have a terminus in his ward, Alders gate-street.—( Laughter.) The Crown tenants would join the rate-payers heart and soul in opposing any railway in that direction, as it would close up the lungs of the metro polls, which the Regent's Park was justly designated, and would also inflict an irreparable loss upon the parish, as the rates would be considerably reduced in consequence of the occupiers of its palaces being compelled by the noise and smoke of the engines to leave them.—(Hear. ) Colonel MR pledged himself to give the project every op- Nosition. Mr. DANIEL said that a third railway—the " Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction"—was also contemplated to run in the same direction.—(Laughter.) Ho was compelled to close his gates upon the surveyors and engineers who sought to inspect his premises. Notwithstanding all his precautions to keep them out, they scaled his walls at night and effected their object.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. Annurr was of opinion that the Company would ob , tain the consent of Parliament for their project, if they only proved that they were able to carry it out. The memorial was referred to the committee appointed to oppose the line along the Regent's-canal. BONE-CRUSHING IN WORKHOUSES. Mr. FLOOD read a communication from the guardian containing an order from the Poor-law Commissioners, prohi biting bone-crushing in unions or workhouses ; and also the answer of the guardians to the Commissioners, in which the guardians expressed their indignation at the Commissioners sending such as order, as it implied that they countenanced so inhuman and so loathsome a practice in the workhouse, which, in fact, sprang up under the sanction of the Commis missioners themselves. The guardians, in conclusion, ex pressed a strong hope that efforts would be made during the ensuing session to deprive the Commissioners of the mon strous, unconstitutional, and cruelly-exercised power which _ they enjoyed.—(Hear.) Upon the motion of Mr. Michie, seconded by Sir Peter Laurie, and supported by Mr. Williams, the communication was approved of, and entered upon the minutes. LORD PORTMAN'S GATES. Sir JAMES lLtmit:ToN, Bart., brought up the report of the committee appointed to take measures for the removal of the gates erected by Lord Portman, in Harewood-place • and also the opinion of counsel upon a case drawn up in reference to the subject. Counsel's opinion stated that the vestry had a legal right to remove those gates, and advised the vestry to direct their surveyor to take measures to have them re moved. The committee approved of counsel's opinion, and the vestry directed the surveyor to act in accordance with it. After some further routine business, of no public interest, the vestry broke up. CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS AND NEGLECT OF DUTY AGAINST AN ENGINE DRIVER. _ _ At Chelmsford petty sessions, on Friday, Andrew Wright, an engine driver, in the service of the Eastern Counties Rail way, was charged under the Act 3d and 4th Victoria, with being found drunk and incapable of taking care of his engine on the 15th instant. The investigation, which lasted nearly six hours, excited considerable interest, the Court being crowded with the employes of the railway. Mr. Widdicombe, from the office of Mr. Duncan, the solicitor of the Company, appeared to sup port the charge; and Mr. B. W. Rawlings, solicitor of Rom ford, for the accused. Mr. Widdicombe briefly stated the case, and said that the present proceeding was taken under a public Act of Parlia ment for the regulation of railways, the 13th section of which gave the magistrate the power of sending a person to prison for any term not exceeding two months, with or without hard labour, should they be satisfied with the guilt of the party charged with a similar offence to that of the accused. They had the power, in addition, to inflict a penalty of any sum not exceeding 101. By the 14th section of the same Act, should the case be one of a flagrant nature, they had the power of sending the prisoner for trial at the quar ter sessions. when, on conviction, the party was liable to be imprisoned for any time not exceeding two years. The Act gave the magistrates summary power. Therefore, should the case be proved against the accused, he should call upon them to act summarily on the present occasion. He begged to state that the Eastern Counties Company had, for the safety of the public, ordered the investigation to be closely per. sued, not with any degree of personality or harshness to wards the accused, but solely to show the public at large that the slightest charge of neglect of duty against any of their servants should be strictly investigated. Evidence was then gone into, no fewer than twelve wit nesses being examined on behalf of the prosecution. From their evidence it appeared, that on Saturday night last the defendant left Colchester as engine-driver of the up cattle train about five minutes past ten, and according to three witnesses who conversed with him, he was quite sober. On arriving at about seven hundred yards from the Witham sta tion, Packer, the guard, observed the red light in the centre of the line (the signal to stop). Instead of doing this, the accused went on one hundred yards beyond the station, al though, according to Packer, there was plenty of time for him to have stopped before reaching the station on seeing the red light. Packer then thought the accused was drunk, which supposition was strengthened when they reached a place called Boreham. At this place there is no station, but two white lights are placed at the spot to denote a crossing. On arriving at this spot the defendant reversed his engine and went back for one hundred yards, but on being spoken to by the guard, again reversed the engine and went on to Chelmsford. Here the guard informed the night porter that the accused was drunk, and incapable of taking charge of the engine. Mr. M‘Kenzie, the station master, was called up, and being also of opinion that the defendant was in liquor, he was given into custody, and the train was taken on to London by another driver. Mr. Rawlings addressed the bench at some length on be half of the accused, and called a host of witnesses, all in the employ of the company, who saw the accused at the Chelms ford station, and who swore that he was not drunk, and was quite capable of taking the train to London. Mr. Scott, the superintendent of the locomotive depart ment, gave the accused a most excellent character for so briety, and said that every one, when theyheard of the charge against him, was greatly surprised. After a,most minute and patient investigation, the accused was discharged, the chairman remarking that he trusted it would act as a caution to all engbe• drivers not to take any thing to drink when in the performance of their duties. IMPORTANT CULINARY REClPE.—lnnumerable recipes are being published daily for the preservation and restoration of the diseased potatoes, but none have come under our observation so simple and useful as the following, which was communicated to us by John Williams, Esq., of Pitmaston, who has himself tried it, on the recommendation of a friend, and assures us of its complete success. He, procured a small quantity of the diseased potatoes, and put them into a kettle filled with cold water, without paring them ; the vessel was then placed over the fire and allowed to remain until the potatoes were about half boiled, when the water was poured away, and a fresh supply of cold water put into the vessel, which was replaced over the fire until the potatoes were sufficiently boiled for use. They were then served up, and after the covering had been re moved, although the diseased parts still appeared blacker than the other, yet there was no disagreeable taste or odour attached to them, and in the opinion of the experimentalist, who partook of them, they were decidedly equal, if not supe rior, in flavour, to some which had been selected as the more perfect. The fears of his friends were excited that some in disposition would follow the eating of the diseased vegetable, but we are happy to say that no ill effects were experienced therefrom. Worcester Journal. A LOST RAILWAY SURVEYOR.—The risible facul ties of the good people of Swansea were pretty freely exer cised last evening, at hearing the town crier announcing a reward of ss. for the recovery of a railway surveyor, of large size, whose figure and dress were most minutely de scribed. He was supposed to have been stolen or strayed. On inquiry we found that a party of surveyors, among whets was our hero, were directed to be at Brecon by a certain hour this morning, and that they could not conveniently proceed without him. Hence this most novel method of discovering his retreat.—Cambrian of Friday. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO A BUTCHER'S BOY.--. Saturday an accident of a very painful character occurred to a boy named William Howe, aged fifteen years, in the employ of Mr. Butler, the butcher, carrying on business in High-street, Southwark. The lad, it appears, was directed to reach a joint of mutton from a high hook, and while so engaged his foot slipped off the steps, and in his descent his left hand got fastened on the hook. His cries attracted the attention of the shopman, who upon going to his aid, dis covered that the poor fellow was completely suspended, and before he could extricate him, the flesh of the hand gave way, and he fell to the floor. He was removed to the nearest sur geon's residence, but the limb was so dreadfully lacerated that he advised his removal to Guy's Hospital, where he was immediately placed in bed and put under the care of Mr. Morgan, the house surgeon. He was on Saturday in a very exhausted state from the hemorrhage consequent upon the injuries, which were certainly of a most frightful character. The news from our herring boats off the North Foreland is still favourable. The catch has been very great. One boat lost thirty-one nets, carried away by the immense quantity of fish which they contained.—Brighton Herald.
