OF' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. i , _ The tedious proceedings on the prosecution of the Mayor of Bristol for neglect of duty on occasion of the riots in that city, terminated yesterday in the acquittal of the worshipful gentleman. That the Jury have come to a just decision upon the case, as for mally put before them, and according to the evi dence on both sides, we have not the smallest doubt. But that His Majesty's Government could do no otherwise than order the Attorney-General to take such steps as would tend to satisfy the country how it came to pass that so many buildings in Bristol had been burned to the ground, and that during six and thirty hours no adequate measures were adopted for resisting an incendiary and destructive mob in their outrages upon corporate and private property, must be admitted by all reasonable persons. In fact, if there had not been, what every body has long been aware of, a great want of skill and energy in the preparation as well as application of the public force, both civil and military, at Bristol during tho.e dreadful scenes, it is impossible that a tithe of the mischief could have been perpetrated. This truth has been abundantly confirmed by the evidence on Mr. Pinney's trial. The civil power was not organized in a way to render it efficient for the suppression of the furious and formidable mob which it had to contend with, until Major Mackworth, a military man, then by mere ac cident at Bristol, took that task upon himself, as signing commanders to the constabulary force, and adjusting their several duties so as to avoid confu sion in the discharge of them. Besides, through some fatality or other, the cavalry did not (or were not suffered to) act ; so that between them, one of the finest cities in the kingdom was all but absolutely ruined. The whole country rung with exclamations of anger and astonishment at the unchecked pro ceedings of the mob of Bristol. The blame was thrown by the civil power on the military. Court martials were held with a view to ascertain the justice of such an imputation, and it was, we con fess, demonstrated that some of those in command of the soldiers had been wanting in the necessary decision. But enough then appeared to convince an impartial mind that too much responsibility had been thrown upon the officers commanding the troops, and that to the want of specific, direct, and immediate authority from the Magistrates, a consi derable share of the damp and languid spirit which seemed to paralyze for a time the exertions of the soldiery might, in truth, be imputed. Under these circumstances, a further investigation of the facts was unavoidable. The people every where called for " some satisfaction" with regard to Bristol. The most abominable charges were brought against those classes whom theßefot m Bill had admitted within the pale of the Constitution, as if the attacks on peace and property had originated with them. The mem bers of the Corporation, with the single exception of the Mayor, were known to be of the Conserva tive or Ultra-Tory tribe, and suspicions were fo mented, and entertained pretty extensively, that the rioters had not been discouraged by the Tory fac tion, but the contrary, as the fuller the measure of their excesses and atrocities, the more griev ous would be the burden of the accusation which it was the business of those Conservatives to lay upon the shoulders of reform. Fortunately for the Government, it has found in the person of a Re former, and a friend of its own, the gentleman who was, ex officio, at the head of the Bristol Magistracy. Mr. Pinney has long been a Reformer. Ministers, therefore, could not be fairly charged with party motives in making him the first object of prosecu t Jr), That Mr. Pinney has been most justly ac quitted of any thing personally discreditable to him, either on the score of zeal or resolution, is a matter, we are sure, not less gratifying to the Ministers than to his own immediate friends. But still it was their business and bounden duty to institute a strict ex amination into the causes and circumstances of the calamity, that blame might eventually be turned against those who deserved it, innocent parties ex onerated, and vague and wild imputations set at rest. The mere appearance of Sir Charles Wethe rell in Bristol at a time when political excitement was so strong, and when that learned personage had become so universally obnoxious, was a natural enough cause for expressions of anger, though not for acts of outrage, from the populace. The need less and injudicious violence of some of the special constables seems to have further provoked the ill temper of the mob. Success in their first move ments, drink, and impunity, led them rapidly for ward. The total want of organization in the civic force, as is indeed, manifest front the whole of the evidence, let the fault be with whom it may, and, moreover, the imperfect concert between the civil power and the military,---these considerations, in our opinion (allowance being also made for some traits of weakness exhibited by persons on both sides), are sufficient to account for all that hap pened, after the unprincipled falsehood of the Anti- Reformers in pronouncing that there was " a re action among the people of England against the Bill ;"—a piece of effrontery which could be no otherwise regarded than as a challenge to the lower orders to declare themselves by some striking ma nifestation of their feelings, and which so disgusted many, even of the middle classes, that they were in clined to look on with indifference when the Tory corporation of Bristol and its property became ob jects of multitudinary vengeance. Gratified as we are at Mr. Pinney's honourable acquittal, we are de cidedly of opinion that it was the duty of Govern ment to put him on his trial.--Tenzer. Our readers will see, from our King's Bench re pert, that the Lord Mayor of Bristol has been ac qus• isiod Mr. Justice Littledale charged the Jury some jcngth. In laying down the law regarding the duty pf Magistrates, in cases where the lives and properties of the communities under their ad ministration are in danger, it cannot be said that his Lordship exacted too much from them. Indeed, according to his Lordship, a Magistrate had better sic nothing at all than do anything. On the one band, tt if he occasions by his acts the destruction of life or property, he is liable to :in indictment for murder or manslaughter, or to be compelled to make eseends for the property destroyed." On the other band, it is difficult to see how he can get into a scrape by doing too little. The word organize is term not hitherto known in the law, and therefore it cannot be a common law duty for a Mayor to or ganize the constables. Why what i 3 organize ? Organize means neither more nor less than making ssos;i a disposition of the constables as should enable chant io act with effect against the rioters. The thing must be as old as society itself—and the word not having been hitherto used, is nothing to the pur pose. Organization is the difference between a num ber of individuals acting unconnectedly, and a body of men acting together in obedience to authority. Then, according to his Lordship, a Justice of Peace is nor requited to ride—he is not bound to charge with the military—he is not bound to expose him self to personal danger. If he is not bound to ex pose himself to personal danger, the next Magistrate who may be in a similar predicament will no doubt interpret this maxim liberally, and conclude that if be is not bound to expose himself to personal danger, be had better keep out of the way when there is danger abroad. Who would not be a Ma gistrate ? The reasoning on the subject of riding i s so ludicrous, that it is enough to expose Englishmen abroad to ridicule :—" It is in evidence that the Mayor could not ride. Now, if he is bound to ride with the cavalry, and makes a charge with them, he must ride as they do, or otherwise he will probably be unhorsed, and more harm than good would be done by his presence; and if ethe mob are inclined to resist the military, he may be singled out and destroyed." John Gilpin must have been in his Lordship's mindtcatlllis ) time. It was enough, ac cording to hisloidsbie, tliat , the Magistrate, where there is (11114'er:to, himseff - 4igEs, onally, and where there is a ,elance of frfim his horse, should he incautiliody attempt to ride-tivith the soldiers, has only to Ose authority to others to do what they can to disperse the people. If these people again should 0 t like ibe responsibility of determining when to cut down the people, no matter, the Magistrate is acquitted. God help the people of an English city, according to this reading of the law of Magistrates, should they be in danger front a rabble. Nay, his Lordship actually shudders at the very idea of trusting fire-arms to any but soldiers. " His Lord ship expressed his opinion of the imprudence of en trusting fire-arms to any but men trained to their use." Who knows but a heavy charge might burst the musket and injure the citizen's fingers, or blow off a part of his neighbour's cheek ! So then; if a city is threatened with danger of conflagration, and muskets and gunpowder exist in abundance, no use is to he made of them, except there be trained sol diers at hand. Why, what poltroons these Judges would make of the people. "No doubt," quoth his Lordship," if the Mayor had had a sufficient number of resolute men to have staid by him, those attacks might have been repulsed; but resolute men were not easily to be found." And, in truth, if the doctrines of his Lordship were to be acted on, resolute men would never be found. There was unquestionably gross negligence, not to say cowardice, on the part of the Bristol Magis trates, in the course of this riot. The individuals were, no doubt, weak and timid men—not to use a harsher term—and were utterly unequal to the emer gency. Were the people to have any choice or con trol over the election of their Magistrates, it is quite impossible that such men could have found their way into authority. We trust that in a Re formed Parliament something will be done to rescue the people from dependence for their preservation on men self-elected and utterly unfit for their sta. tions. We do not say that a Magistrate ought to be a hero, but he ought to possess sufficient energy and courage to be able to face danger when neces sary to the safety of those entrusted to his charge. We know that to obtain that energy, the people must, in old cities like Bristol, travel out of the old degenerate breeds of pursy citizens, destitute of ph►- sical vigour and moral courage.—MorningCbronicle. The trial of the Mayor of Bristol was brought to a conclusion yesterday. The Jury returned a ver dict of acquittal, and added to their vefdict an ex pression of opinion which must have been highly gratifying to the accused, and not a little annoying to the King's Attorney-General. We think the finding of the Jury a right and an honest one. We had always supposed that the imputations thrown upon the Magistrates, on whom in the glorious days of Bristol so weighty a responsibility lay, were grievously exaggerated by personal antipathy and political interest; but we confess we were not pre pared to learn that their conduct in such a trying emer gepicy had deserved so little of c ensure , o r rat h er that it had merited so much of applause. A zealous desire to do their duty, a fearless disregard of personal danger, a constant attention to the preservation of property, and at the same time an anxious repug nance to the shedding of blood ; all these the Ma gistrates of Brist o l man if este d throughout the whole of their difficulties; and if there were defects in the management of the poor defences they had to oppose to the fury of the mob, they only will blame them who expect to find in a Mayor, or in a Cor poration, the science which is learned in the Mili tary College, arid the experience which is acquired by the labours of a campaign. Mr. Pinney is a Whig; Mr. Pinney is a Reformer; Mr. Pinney has taken the chair at a meeting held to com memorate the glorious days of July; Mr. Pinney, for aught we know, will take the chair to morrow at a meeting to be held for the celebration of the blessings which flow from the administration of the law by a liberal Attorney- General. Certainly it is not from attachment to this gentleman's character, or sympathy with his opinions, that we hasten to record our exultation at the result of the prosecution which the miserable selfishness of a despicable faction has instituted against him. That the orators who had recom mended resistance and eulogised sedition might be acquitted—that the newspapers which had sug gested the efficacy of the bludgeon and the brickbat might be acquitted—that the Ministers who had had warning of the intentions of their friends might be acquitted—that the Bristol Reformers, who had longed fur a demonstration of what they called " public opinion," and had talked of the expediency of throwing Sir Charles Wetherell over the bridge, might be acquitted, it was necessary to obtain a conviction against Mr. Pinney; and, according to the new morality of our honest Government, the punishment of tile individual who had done all in his power to suppress an insurrection was to screen from condemnation those who had enforced its pro priety arid those who had applauded its commence ment. The discomfiture was as signal as the attempt was disgraceful. In the mass of turgid eloquence and erroneous law of which the Attorney- General's reply was composed, we find one argument of which it is impossible not to feel the force. When such destruction of property and such waste of life have been allowed, when in one of the first cities of the empire the laws have been set at nought, and plunder for three days let loose, it is impossible, says the Attorney-General, but that deep criminality must rest somewhere. It is indeed impossible; but against those upon whom that deep criminality rests it is not for Sir Thomas Denman to prefer an in dictment.—Morning Post. The case of " the King v. the Mayor of Bristol" having terminated in au acquittal, we have no de sire to impugn the decision of the regular and con stitutional tribunal by which that case has been tried. All human judgment is fallible, and even the trial by Jury has its imperfections and errors; but far be it from us, who have ever upheld that in stitution as the great bulwark of the rights and li berties of a free people, to say or insinuate any thing which may tend to bring it into disrepute. We — live too near times of great excitement to be able, perhaps, to form an opinion perfectly free from all bias, though, when the excitement of Re- form was at its height, instead of throwing fuel upon the flames of civil discord, we endeavoured to calm down the passions of Reformers, and to give the cause of political improvement, irresistible force by binding it in holy union with temperance and reason. When some of the Reform Journals of London, professing an extravagant zeal for the sup port of the existing Ministry, called wildly for the formation of Political Unions and armed Associa ations to carry the Reform Bill, we pointed out the dangerous consequences of delivering up the country to the irresponsible authority of political clubs and martial legislators. We showed, from historical evidence, that such irregular force was never enlisted on the side of regular government without lead ing to fatal conflicts, or without deposing the Go vernment that invoked its aid, or being crushed by it. The warning against the armed Associa tions was taken in time, or far more extensively would the land have been stained with the blood of civil conflict than it was by the outrages at Bristol and Nottingham. As to the Political Unions, the Government felt it necessary, in self-defence, to issue a proclamation against them, founded on the Common Law; for the Government of this country is, and ought to be, exercised, not by self•constituted and irresponsible conventions, but by King,Lords, arid Commons, which is a species of Government as much opposed to a wild democracy as to despotic power. . . If Advice had been taken when fire brands from other quarters were thrown among the populace, the disorders that disgraced the cause of Reform at Bristol and Nottingham would not have occurred. Neither would the' sharpest edge of the axe of the law" have been called down upon those infatuated men, who were deserted at their hour of peril by those who had stimulated their ignorant passions. The lamented fate of Colonel Brereton—the sacri fice of Captain Warrington —would not have hap pened ; nor would the Bill of Reform have been associitted with recollections affl►cting to humanity, or stained with one drop of human blood 1 As to the conduct of the Mayor and Corporation of Bristol, we leave it in the hands of history, which will pronounce an impartial and final verdict that will do justice to their merits, and give them that immoitality of fame which their exploits, in the event ful crisis of their city's peril, so eminently deserved. To the passionless judgment of history we leave the task of recording the proofs of the Conservative energies displayed by the members of the civic body in defending their ancient and loyal city from the violence and flames of one or two hundred drunken rioters, who, notwithstanding the " high zeal and personal courage" evinced by the chief of the corporate authorities, succeeded in laying the goodliest portion of it in ashes ! But there is a question connected with this trial which we hope to see hereafter more fully investigated than it ever has been yet. It is a question of the first im portance as affecting the rights and liberties of British subjects. We allude to the doctrine laid down, or rather acquiesced in, by the Attorney- General, with regard to th e r i g ht of the military power to interfere to suppress riots without the authority or sanction of a Magistrate. We have the presumption to differ with the Attorney- General on this question, backed as he is by the opinions of Lord Mansfield, Lord Thur. low, Lord Ellenborough, and Chief-Justice Tin dal. It is worth observing that every Judge on whose authority the Whig Attorney-General relies, in support of a doct r i ne w hi c h we maintain is fraught with danger to the lives and liberties of British subjects. was a Tory Judge, of high prero gative principles. Not one of them ever had any reputation as a constitutional lawyer; not one of them was ever suspected of holding the uncourtly opinion that the "little finger of the law was stronger than the loins of the prerogative." We argued this question soon after it was propounded by Chief Justice Tindal—we showed how incom patible it was with the spirit of our free Constitu tion—we _proved that it was not founded on the Common Law—we defied the supporters of it to adduce any Statute Law in its favour. No such statute has since been adduced. The Attorney- General did not venture to rely upon any. We say the doctrine is repugnant to the idea of a free Constitution, and that it is as much at variance with the discipline of military service as with the civil security which the law extends to the lives and limbs of British subjects. In a reformed Parlia ment we expect that this question will be agitated once more, to be set for ever at rest, and that the dicta of prerogative Judges and Crown Lawyers will be superseded by a declaratory act in accordance with the Constitution.—llforning Herald. It will be seen from our report under the head of " The Arctic Expedition in search of Captain Ross, &c.," in another column, that a powerful appeal is now made to the public in favour of that humane undertaking. We should betray an unseemly doubt as to the true character of the country, if we hesi tated to pronounce that such an appeal cannot be made in vain. The probability that Captain Ross and his gallant little crew may still be in the land of the living is vouched for by so many competent judges, and the circumstances from which the in ference is drawn afford so strong a presumption in its favour, that the heart must be cold indeed which does not catch warmth enough from the prespect to influence its best exertions. But, be they living or be they dead, we owe it to our gallant countrymen, we owe it to science and to the common feelings of our common nature, to ascertain their fate, even though it should be of that kind which it is not in ' our power to alter. It is impossible that in a coun try like this the paltry sum of 3,0001.,—we call it paltry, not only in comparison with the means, but in reference to the known generosity of the people of England—it is impossible that such a paltry sum should be unattainable for such a purpose in any pro minent city of the United Kingdom, much more in the metropolis itself. We, therefore, look forward with confidence to the immediate success of this ap peal; we anticipate success, because failure would be disgraceful. Though, as will be collected from the proceedings of the meeting, there are scientific objects connected with the expedition, which in themselves hold ont a strong inducement in its fa vour, the humanity of the attempt is its chief re commendation. Those who are inaccessible to that argument will be deaf to every other.—Herald, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—Yes terday, Christopher Christian and William Tate were re-examined, eharged with obtaining goods under false pretences from various tradesmen. A warehouse was opened at No. 60, Aldermanbury, and well furnished with desks, counter, drawers, sheet Almanacks, &c., to which the dupes were invited to bring samples of all kinds. A tradesman dropping in would sometimes find six or seven persons moving about in all the bustle of bu.iness, and one tradesman narrowly escaped delivering 100/. worth of muffs, &c. The charge of obtaining 5i dozen of gloves, value 81., the property of Mr. Abel, of St. John-street-road, was made out completely, and the prisoners were committed on that. Mr. Nix, of Queen street, Cheapside, charged Christian with having defratbled him of eight pounds' worth of Scotch ale; but it appearing that be had taken out a writ, the case could not be treated criminally. Mr. Lacey, of Phipp street, had delivered ten pounds' worth of bonnets at Alessrs. Christie's warehouse (the name of the swindling firm); but his case also resolved itself into a debt. Mrs. Easterbrook, of Duke street, Bisbomate, said she had been cheated out of two pounds' worth of stays; she took home five pounds' worth more the preceding morning, but she found the doors closed, and " swindlers" written upon them. This case also, it was found, could only be treated as a debt. Mr. Biker, of West-street Brewery, Soho, said he had been cheated by the prisoners out of half a barrel of ale ; and the prisoners were remanded for further evidence. HAT T ON- GARDEN. Yesterday James Price, driver of the hackney coach No. 813, was charged und,r the following circumstances by Mr. Baker, a half•pay officer :—Mr. Bak.-r left a box containing 501. worth of property in defendant's coach, and on going to him at the stand, and asking for it, the fellow refused to give it him unless he paid him a shilling. The defendant said,Mr. Baker was drunk at the time, and he did not think the box belonged to him. He had de posited it at the hackney-coach office, at Somerset-house. Mr. Baker positively denied that he was at all intoxi cated. He had applied at the coach.office for his property, and he understood that he might have it, if he paid half the value to the coachman for his honesty Mr. Lama expressed the utmost astonishment, and said that if the box was not delivered up on a second application, he would see about taking steps not very agreeable to the coachman. WORSHIP-STREET AN ANTI-MALTHUSIAN SWEEP.--Yesterday a sturdy little sweep, named Scroop, aged about 40 years, was charged with being the father of an infant, now chargeable in Norton-Falgate Liberty. Ann Ebbs had lived with the defendant 27 years, and had presented him with 16 children. He was, however, such a violent saving little man, that the could not live with him after the birth of her laak. The sweep said she bad pawned all his goods to get gin, and as to keeping the child, " Vy," he said, " I'm too poor to pay." The beadle deposed to the contrarj, and the Magistrate ad judged him liable to pay for the support of the child. Ann Ebbs's quarrel with him was traced to his having been in custody about a year since upon suspicion that a sum of motley, which he had deposited with the landlady of a pub lic-house, had been obtained by robbery. He proved, however, that the money was his own, and that he had more in a Savings' Bank, although it appeared that he had been in the habit of keeping his mistress and her children upon exceedingly short commons. His excuse was, that Ann Ebbs was so fond of gin, that he made her believe he was very poor, and placed part of his earnings in the hands of the landlady. Upon this discovery, Ann Ebbs would no longer be left in such poor condition. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CASE.—A smartly-dressed young w oman , attended by an elderly gentleman, brought a yo ung man, named William Pinnock, before Mr. Conant, for having created a riot on last Sunday evening. The com plainant and defendant are husband and wife ; but from some cause, which can only be guessed at, she refuses to bear his name, and consequently she ob. tained the warrant in the name of Hannah Briggs, the complainant stated, that about two years ago she was married to the defendant ; but, as both were in situations, they agreed to continue in service. In consequence, as she stated, of her husband's conduct towards her —the na ture of which she did not particularise—she took a mug decided aversion to him, and had made up her mind to separate from him. About this time she engaged herself as " maid of all work" to the elderly gentleman accom panying her, a bookseller in Marylebone-street, and a widower to boot, and in a short time she found herself so comfortably situated, that she determined to relinquish further communication with her husband. Her master, who appeared to take a peculiar interest in everything which concerned her, in order to protect her from any violence, provided she encountered her husband, determined upon sending his two nephews with her to chapel on Sun thy evening. The husband encountered them, and in consequence of her refusal to give him her company, a disturbance took place, which ended in all of them being taken to the station-house, where the charge was dismissed as soon as the nature of it was known. The defendant, who appeared about five-and-twenty, a " proper man and tall," and of far superior appearance to the woman, replied to the charge, by stating that he conceived he bad a right to demand the company of his wife, to whom he was so devotedly attached that he could not live without her. Mr. CONANT, upon hearing this, counselled the com plainant to be on friendly terms with her husband. The young woman said it was true she had been mar ried at church to him, but he had only the name of hus band, for he had not consummated the marriage. This strange confession caused some merriment in the office. Mr. CONANT replied, that made no difference; she was his wife, and be had a right to her society. A long discussion ensued, which ended in Mr. CowANT desiring the young man to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace, and recommending the widower to endea vour to effect a reconciliation between the parties. The " widower" promised to comply, and walked off with his maid of all work. UNION_ HALL. STRETCITING A POlNT.—Yesterday a dyer, named Wilson, was charged with assaulting John Morris, who acts occasionally as a city officer. The charge was dismissed, as it appeared that Morris had also assaulted Wilson. Mrs. Wilson then came forward, and said that during her husband's absence at his work, the plaintiff, who had been an intimate friend, walked into her room, and endea voured to induce her to commit au act of infidelity, which she indignantly repelled. Did be assault you ? said the Magistrate. Mrs. Wilson said be laid his hand on her shoulder. The Magistrates were of opinion that that constituted an assault, and fined Mr. Morris 40s. THE SPANISH AMNESTY. (Front the Madrid Gazette of Oct. 25.) ROYAL DECREE OF AMNESTY. Nothing better becomes a magnanimous Prince who tenderly loves his people, and who has been acknowledged as such by the fervent prayers addressed by them to Divine Providence for his convalesence and restoration to health, nor is anything more agreeable to the feelings of the King, than the oblivion of the weakness of those persons who, rather from imitation than from perverseness and insolence, left the paths of loyalty, submission, and respect, which it was their duty to pursue, and in which they had formerly always distinguished themselves. From this oblivion, from the innate bounty with which the King desires to receive all his children beneath his glorious mantle of beneficence, make them participators of his favours and liberality, re store them to the bosoms of their families, free them from the painful yoke to which they were subjected by the neces sity of living in strange countries, from these considera tions, and still more from the recollection that they are Spaniards, must spring their profound, cordial, and sincere acknowledgment of the grandeur and kindness from which this act of oblivion proceeds, and from the glorious tender ness which fills my breast in publishing these generous bounties arises the joy which they cause in me. Guided, therefore, by such flattering ideas and hopes, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me by my very dear and much loved consort, and conformably in all things to his will, I grant the most general and complete amnesty which Kings have ever yet bestowed to all such as have been persecuted for political offences, under whatever name they may have been known or distinguished, excepting from this act of grace those who had the misfortune to vote for the deposition of the King of Seville, and those who have com manded in chief armed forces against his sovereignty. You shall understand it thus, and take measures for its execution. Under the Queen's Royal hand. St. Ildefonso, Oct. 15. SPAIN. (From the Times Private Correspondent.) MALWaa, Ocx. 9 —The rapid and unexpected recovery of the King of Spain has turned all the Ministry to the right about. They imagined that he could not live, and put a codicil to his testamentary arrangement, appointing his brother Don Carlos his successor, in prejudice of his daughter. Calomarde is banished from the Court and Madrid, and all the ethers are turned out. The new Ministry is, as stated in the list which has this moment reached me,— Don Francisco Zea Bermudez (now in London), State. Carranza, Grace and Justice. Monet (now at Algesiras), War. La Borde (now commanding the squadron at Haven nab), Marine. Eucina y Piedra, Finance. The following Captains-General are appointed : Duanoy (formerly Go vernor of Malaga) to Galicia, . vice Eguia. Santocildes Pusterla . Cantarac . to Granada, . vice Moreno. to Estremadura, vice Sin Juan. to Castille, . vice O'Donnell, Thus the whole plot of the King's brother, Don Carlos, has been discovered, and the execrable Ministers have received their reward. They have long existed on hu man sacrifices. They have tyrannized over the country, and cut down every one who stood in their way. They —yes, they employed the infamous Moreno to kidnap and destroy Torrijos and his party. You already know how far that succeeded, and the wretch was rewarded by being made a Lieutenant-General, and Captain-General of the province of Granada. Who but a Calomarde could have lent a hand to such a transaction ? You also know that Moreno's correspondence (written in his own hand) was discovered after Torrijos was shot, and which correspondence, calculated as it was to deceive any one, was the cause of the party leaving Gibraltar, and of their subsequent shocking end. You will now see that Moreno is British The v alle wondered rnenadseorneadb thatle men. t e h n e . r better etirem thinking execrations t oenrse have turned ou t o f hi s em pl o yment, and h e w ill ta k e i nto Government have not yet taken into consideration the fate of Mr. Boyd and the other British subjects who were shot without any trial, but they have laid it perhaps to the right cause, that of b • eing over-pressed with important matters, and they doubt not it will become thesubject discussion in its prop er ti me an d p l ace. The new Fil of st Minister of State, Zea Bermudez, m us t h ave been pretty well instructed in all the merits of thi s quest i on, if not actually, as he must have been, by Lord Palmerston, he will have seen all the London papers, and he never would have tolerated such a monster as Moreno to exist one moment in command. Zea is a moderate man, and will be likely to do some good for this most unfortunate coun try. The last Ministers even sold the recovery of the rents to one Don Felipe Riera, who, I firmly believe, was in league with Den Carlos and others in a kind of part nership to get the whole country into their hands, as well as a large fleet of vessels, under the denomination of guards costas. These vessels, as well as the rents to a certain extent, have been under the management of the agents of Riera, and in no way under the control of the Govern ment Officers. In short, the country has been torn to pieces by the intrigues of those about the Government, and the want of determination on the part of the King; and the party of Prince Carlos have gone so far as to have money coined with his bust, &c. What it will all end in is not easy to divine ; but the return of the troops from the frontiers of Portugal to Madrid, and the appointment of moderate and enlightened Ministers, must certainly operate in favour of Don Pedro's cause in Portugal, for hitherto his progress has not been great. The towns in that country have no means of declaring in his favour, for if they are not actually priest-ridden, the priests hold them in terrorem, and would not hesitate to sacrifice thou .ands in cold blood. Miguel's party is kept up entirely by the church. If I were allowed to indulge a hope in Don Pedro's favour, it would be that the rainy season would discomfit his enemies. It is a very wet country, and it w ill puzzle the Miguelites to keep their guns and stores above ground, while their men will never be able to keep the field. It appears clear, however, to sue, that the Miguelites have never dared to hazard a close battle, and they have allowed Don Pedro to fortify himself uninter ruptedly. Zea Bermudez, if you remember, was obliged to resign his office of one of the Secretaries of State, in Madrid, on account of his moderation, and from a wish to adopt some plan of regulating or modifying the church affairs. He was then sent to Saxony. If he still retains those notions, he will have enough to do, for that puppet-show farcical establishment in this country has power, and no taste for hesitation about the means of destroying their enemies, but there are symptoms of decay throughout the whole, and a vigorous and virtuous Ministry might do much for the country in opposition to the locusts which are devouring it, Whoever undertakes to mend things here, will have enough to do.

MARRIOTT, Esq., the new Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. WILLIAM STANTON V. ST. PANCRAS PARISH. This was an action against a rate made by the above parish, the appellant contending that the premises occupied by him were not rateable. Mr. ALLEY stated that this question had been tried three or four times, and it had been hoped that the re spondents would have let the matter drop. The property in question was a cottage and wharf on the Canal in the Regent's Park, and were vested in the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and being therefore the property of the Crown, were not rateable. Mr. ADOLPHUS said this matter was one of great im portince and little doubt. The point was, whether the parish had not a right to levy rates on the appellant as one deriving benefit from a house in the parish, whether it were on the property of the Woods and Forests or not. The house he inhabited was a benefit to him, and bis weekly wages were less in consideration of this advantage than they would otherwise be.—Order confirmed. The only other cane worth notice was an appeal by Wil liam Johnson against an order of affiliation made upon him, as the alleged father of a female child. Some mer riment was excited in the early part of the case : there happened to be another man of the name of Johnson down on the orders as the reputed father of a male child. This order was handed up to the Chairman, who was about to dismiss the case of William Johnson and the female child, as being a false description of the sex of the child, stated by Mr. Alley, in the outset of his case, to be a female. However, this mistake, after exciting great laughter, was cleared up, and the case proceeded. Mr. ALLEY called the mother of the child, Mary Richards, who stated that some time ago she had a child ; the father of it was William Johnson. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonxix—Would solemnly swear that Johnson was the father of the child ; she never had had intercourse with other men ; she had been acquainted with Johnson three years ; is acquainted with a man of the name of Milton, but only as a common friend ; never kept company with him ; has never stated that Milton was the father of the child. By Mr. ALLEY—Saw Johnson about a month ago ; he asked her to get him off if she could ; before the child was born Johnson offered her 201. if she would father it upon some one else ; she is now married ; her husband is at sea. William Brown—ls uncle to Mary Reed, now Richards; remembers that in December last Johnson came to his house, and told witness that he had seen Mary's room, which he liked, and promised to make Brown some re muneration for taking care of Mary, saying he wished he had known Mary's child was his before ; if he had he would have married her; witness told him he ought to remedy the disgrace to her and her family. It was a very serious thing. CrOss.examineilt was in December last or Decem. ber twelve-month, he thinks. Perhaps it might not have been December at all, but it was on a Saturday night ; cannot tell exactly when the child was born, but to the best of his belief it was a twelve-month ago, or about. Mr. BODKIN, for the appellant, called Joseph Milton, who has been acquainted with Mary Reed for some time. In 1830 was frequently in her com pany. She in the course of the year sent for him, and told him she was in the family way, and by him. He charged her with keeping company with Johnson, which she denied. Subsequently, at her desire, he went to her grandfather, who said, " Curse it, Joe, this is a bad bu siness; but come, we must mend matters—you must marry the girl." Witness would not consent, having his brothers and sisters to . maintain, and being besides very considerably in doubt as to the platonicism of his fair one's intimacy with Mr. Johnson. Johnson is a tea dealer. Thomas Dennison said Mary Reed had come to lodge in his house. She was with child, and told witness that it was Milton's, and nobody else's. Elizabeth Dennison confirmed the account given by her husband, adding, that shortly after Mary left their house, she called in to beg witness to convey to Milton' " the glad tidings" that she could now swear the child to Johnson.—Order confirmed. NEWMARKET.—Some recent transactions at Newmarket have so disgusted some of the most distin guished patrons of the Turf, that many intend retiring from it altogether. We hear dissatisfaction expressed on all sides at the system lately adopted, and the necessity urged that some regulation should be formed to exclude objectionable persons from too close a contact ¶ith those who seek the turf as an amusement, and not as a specula _ tion•--Court Journal.

The young woman first stabbed herself with a pen-knife, and Roux afterwards gave her two deeper wounda, from which she expired immediately. He then plunged the knife into his own breast, but not with the same effect, for he was found alive, and it is believed that he may recover.

The ball retained the rough internal shape of the stomach externally, and measured 20 inches in circumference, and weighed five pounds one ounce.—Northampton Mercury. DWARFS.—The rage for possessing dwarfs was at one time so strong among the great, especially at the period of the commencement of the Roman Empire, that merchants conceived the terrible idea of producing 'him artificially by means of boxes and bandages. Dwarfs are in general very irritable and turbulent. A lady at the Court of STANISLAUS one day caressed her dog before BEBE, the favourite dwarf of STANISLAUS, Duke of Lor raine ; the latter furiously snatched the dog from her lap and threw him ou tof the window, crying out, "Why should you love him better than me?" ROSCOE'S SPANISH NOVELISTS.—" The Spanish Noveli,t gives you rogues, and assassins, a nd faithless mistresses, and gouty husbands, and fiery cava lieu s, and plump landlords, and rosy abigails, and a whole canvass full of flattering ribands, and round hats, and swteping mantillas, and masked eyes, and stage cloaks ; and thee: men, and women, and things, move before you in a pageant that dazzles by the multiplicity of its figure!, the cleverness of its design, the constant bustle of its actors, and, above all, the showers of wit and sense that come down amidst all like diamond drops, as small and as precious. These are the distinctive traits of the Spanish novel ; and they are not less r e m ar k a bl e i n t h e t axes with which Mr. RoscoE has here furnished u.."—Atlas.

BENNETT, a mining agent, of Lincoln Horne, Corn wall, had been robbed of 6001. and his clothe., at a o °' torinus place called Rat's Castle, in St. Giles's. On go . ing there they found Mr. BENNETT pacing the room, with nothing on but his shirt, in a state bordering on madnegs9 and declaring " I ani g ivined ;oh ! I am ruined." They provided him with clothes and got him to the station house, where he said that he arrived in London on Wed' nesday night, from Cornwall, in order to transact some business with one of the Companies in the City. He took $ glass too much with some friends at a Cornwall Tavern, and he was returning to the place where be had engaged longs when he was induced meta f to acc e o m m a p le a , ny ab h o e u r t t l, in Holborn, o 6 Rat.scastle. danced before him, after which they brought him some int l h o ii t mn hes and property, amount dwsthroemy rn a n i nde,heh fe l le f o d o aht deepinn,sgelt o f ssl et d re r i pp i u. stripped doonf which all a hiska a w a king ing—in notes, bills, and securities—to upwards of 6001. Some of the bills are drawn upon Mr. S. LISLE, of St. Towsal, in Corwa 11, and payable at WILLIAMS and Co.'s, the London Bankers. The landlord of Rat'e Castle gave information of the robbery, and a description of the girls—one of whom is named GOODRICH, and was formerly a dancer at a minor theatre—to the officers,but they have not as yet been able to discover any clue to the property. Mr. BENNETT, who is a married man with a large family, was yesterday in a profound state of melan choly, and a strict watch was kept over him lest be aboald destroy himself. BIRTHS.
