SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is not, as we stated yesterday, at all surprising that the revolutionary faction in this country should stir themselves to set up a sham coalition with the Tories. The " Destroyers" would drag the nether world for instruments of their subversive projects, but that happily they have found them on the spot The " Conservatives," who maintain that the high est wisdom and most solemn duty of an Englishman is to keep all things as his ancestors left them, have actually joined with the " Destroyers" in a scheme, the final result of which (did it prove successful) would be to inflict upon Great Britain so complete a metamorphosis, that no man who had gone abroad last year would, after another twelvemonth's emi gration, know the island again on his return. That scheme is the overthrow of the Reform Ministry. Lord Grey's Government happens to be one which sustains the hopes of a vast number of upright and enlight-end men, that our political condition may be improved gradually, safely, and effectually, in spite of the high Tories, who say that nothing requires to be rectified, and of the Levellers, who see nothing that deserves to be retained. The existing Minis try, therefore, stands in the way of both these fac tions, which aim alike at political power—to be employed by one of them for the maintenance of the vilest abuses, and by the other for the violation of the most sacred rights and principles. We have all witnessed the outrageous lengths which Toryism in its desperation has recourse to. One day it outvotes a Reform Minister,—rejects hisßlll,--forces him to resign the government; and the next day attempts to bribe the Sovereign, by a promise to carry through the same or an equivalent reform measure as the condition of succeeding to the vacant post. Anon, --when the alternative of peace or war arises, and when the dearest interests of this country and 0 Europe demand that the question should be amica bly and promptly settled, the party adverse to Great Britain, in fact the public enemy, is conjured b . l your noble-minded Tories not to yield a single point to her earnest and just remonstrances, but to hold out stubbornly, for no other purpose than to catch, through a certain and bloody war, some chance of expelling the Administration of Lord Grey, and af terwards carrying ox the same war which has been made the pretext for his overthrow 1 But the most lamentable and most instructive example of the folly as well as malignity of faction is to be found in the headlong haste with which the Conservatives, who profess that our monarchy should be immutable, have plunged into the pit dug for them by the " De structives," who would not leave one vestige of that monarchy unobliterated. Such infatuation has never been surpassed. It seems a weakness inherent in men and parties who have long exercised political ominion, to recognise no changes but those which themselves experience, and to imagine that after a fall from office they must, on the resumption of it, find themselves as powerful as ever. The Irish Orange faction, after the discomfiture of a dozen successive plots for the re-establishment of their lost ascendancy, have at last (some portion of them, ii the Dublin Papers may be credited) fallen into that moat clumsy of all snares—the cry for a " Repeal of the Union," set up by O'Connell and his crea tures. This is rank madness, no doubt, in the pool Orangemen, because, after effecting their " Repeal of the Union," they would soon be told by the priest and demagogue Parliament to march out of Ireland with all the honours of war, but taking care to leave their estates behind them. Mad as are these dupes of the Catholic separatists, in the sister country, bow much more sane are the English Conservatives in tlo it courtship of the Movement faction here How long would your rumpers,—your universal-suf frage men,—your no-taxation men,—your-no-gold and-silver-currency men,—your equitable-adjustment men,—your advocates for a division of all property among the labourers,—how long would such philoso phers and statesmen be plagued with the incumbrance of their High Tory comrades? Nay, it is well worth the consideration of the Duke of Wellington and his friends. A confederacy with the High-Radicals fot the expulsion of the Whigs from office, before the reform law comes into full and steady operation, would be one far the removal of their own best bar rier against the torrent of an indiscriminate and over whelming anarchy. Stripped of the safeguard now afforded them by the interposition of Lord Grey's Government, which has rallied round it all the most respectable and educated portion of the British people, the luckless Tories would make no stand-- no, not for an hour—against the " Movement" and the mob. Once more then, my Lords and Gentle. men, bethink ye of what ye are doing. Leap not blindly down the precipice. The men with whom you combine for the subversion of the Grey Cabinet are they who talk of " remodelling our institutions." Such artists will first melt down those institutions before they can recast them. Are such the chosen allies of Conservative Dukes and Courtiers ? The latter may chuckle at the consciousness of a well contrived knavery ; but it is of betrayed and derided foolishness that they will taste the bitter fruits. Even now the " Destructives" are laughing at heart on seeing the credulous alacrity with which the Conservative gulls rush forward into the snare. A scene was exhibited yesterday at the Crown mid Anchor Tavern which trust be gratifying to every honest man in: the country, and that for two reasons; first, because it makes it quite clear that the city of Westminster is about to be rescued from the disgrace of its present representation ; and, se condly, because it shows to the world what an as'o nishing degree of insolence of temper and tyranny of disposition may he found in men the business of whose lives it has been to cringe to the rabble, and who have even atta'ned to some degree of eminenci by the mere act of pandering to its basest passions. • The meeting was summoned by advertisement, " for the purpose of adopting measures to promote the re-election of Sir Francis Burdett and S;r J. Cam Hohhouse." It was intended to be, and we believe it was, a grand muster of the whole strength of the two Ministerial Baronets. But their strength proved to be weakness, for even in this their own meet ing, their opponents, albeit uninvited, and repre sented, therefore, in the assembly by a mere fortui tous detachment of the main body, turned out to be far more numerous than their friends. We will state the facts as they are given in The Sun (a 'Mi nisterial Paper it is proper to state) of last night, and as we are quite sure they will not, after twelve hours' time to garble, mutilate, and gloss, be given in the Ministerial Papers of this morning. The Chairman was that eminently respectable gentleman, 1. S. Duncomhe, Esq., M.P., who it will presently lie seen did good service ; much better, indeed, than a•iy man of a different order of respectability could have done. The meeting consi , ted of upwards of 2,000 persons, and they assailed the Chair li - man, when he rose to open the business, with cheers, hisses, and groans, which continued throughout the whole of his speech, so that it was almost entirely inaudible. This is pretty well to begin with as a , proof of the great popularity of the Administration and its under lings and friends. The first resolution proposed to this unpropitious meeting was an expression of con• fidence in the two Ministerial Baronets, which of course brought them both forward, and amidst hisses, groans, and yells, mingled with cheers, for there were some cheers, :hey lectured the . worthy electors in good round terms upon the folly and wickedness of being insensible to their paramount claims and their transcendent merits. The effect of their eloquence upon the meeting was' great no doubt, for (we still quote the rapid and un sophisticated report of. our Evening Ministerial Con temporary) "the resolution was then pit, and car ried, as the Chairman said, by a majority of ten." A majority of ten, announced by a friendly chairman, i►r a meeting of upwards of 2,000 ! Huzza. Ten is the main, and two gone. A resolution was then proposed to the effect that the meeting lamented and condemned the measures now adopting to op pose the return of Sir John Hobhouse. This .was declared by the exemplary chairman to be carried. However, " an immense number of, hands was held up against it, and we should have supposed," we quote The Sun, " that it was ne zatived by a great majority." " Three cheers were given at the lower end of the room for the show of hands just displayed, and three groans for those who were in favour of the resolution. Some Persons then called out, Three cheers for Colonel Evans I' which were immediately given." How popular the Administration must be when any con nection with it is sufficient to secure to a man such enviable distinctions as are now showered upon the Secretary at War. But the certainty of the defeat of Sir Franc's Burdett and Sir John Cam Hoh house at this election, gratifying as it is, is still of far less importance than the illustration their conduct has afforded of the natural insolence and tyranny of prosperous and elevated democrats. These zealous and sincere champions of popular representation speak of the seats for Westminster as if they were theirs by right, and address the .lectors as though they were their bound slaves. The assumption of superiority which pervades the whole of their speeches is not in the spirit of Eng lish Gentlemen, but of Turkish Bashaws. Even the groans and hisses of their indignant audience seem to have been insufficient to awaken them from the dream of despotism in which, during their undis puted ascendancy in Westminster, they have per mitted themselves habitually to indulge. It is plainly for the good of these gentlemen that they should both be rejected, if it were only to infuse a little sobriety into their exalted estimate of them selves, and a little justice into their present very low appreciation of the sense and spirit of the inferior classes of their countrymen. We omit all the inso lence which old " Glory" addressed to the meeting; probably he had just been in conference with Earl Grey, and had been recently puffed up with the anticipated honour of the Peerage, so that civility was scarcely to be expected from so great a man. But the little candidate must be naturally arrogant, or he would scarcely have ventured to say that by 'Timing his claims the electors " would cut up the roots of good faith between man and man, and leave nothing like sincerity in the dealings of the world;" or to express his hope that they would never endeavour to found public morality on pri vate infamy; or to assert that, " unless the elec tors brought forward some other charge against him than the fact of his being in office, he must call their conduct a mere trick to hide a_ paltry design;" or to complain that if they did not elect him they would tear the laurels by violence from his victorious brow. This is now the language of Sir J. C. flobhouse to the independent electors of West minster—language which it will at once be seen is trot conceived in the tone or temper of a winning man, or a man who deserves to win. The electors, se should have thought, had a right to change their representative without assigning any reason, unless they thought fit, to their discarded Member. But in the case of so eminent a person as the Secretary at War it seems to be otherwise. They must ad vance reasons forsooth, and, what is still harder, -uch reasons as will satisfy him, or good faith, sincerity, and all public morality, are endangered, and a fatal example presented to the world of " trick," of " paltry design," "of violence," and of infamy." How great a thing it is to have been the idol of the rabble! How much greater still to be the Secretary at War to an Administration which can find pretexts for war in its determina tion and its pledges to remain always at peace.— Horning Post. We have received several valuable communica. tions on the subject of the causes of the inequality of rating to the assessed taxes, with regard to which i meeting is to take place at the London Tavern this day. Our correspondent, who dates his letter from Monmouthshire, and who has been an assessor twice—the first time in one of the largest towns in he kingdom, and the second in a large country pa rish in a mining district—assures us that the asses sors are not to blame, but the surveyors. We wish we could find room for the whole of his valuable letter ; but we must confine ourselves, at present, , co the following extract : " The tax', in thenaselvez; are oppressive and odious, but the machinery by which they are brought into operation renders them still more so. We have first the Lords of the Treasury, who appoint the surveyors. Secondly, the Commissioners, who appoint the assessors. Thirdly, the assessor, who nominates the collector. The first of these officers—the Lords of the i Treasury--retain their posts sometimes for years, and may do for life. The Commissioners for life, and the surveyor is only removable when convicted of corrupt and vexatious practices; whilst the two last.named officers—viz., the assessor and col lector—are renewable every year. The three first class of officers have every opportunity afibrded of becoming thoroughly conversant with their duties, and the nature of the various and complicated acts of which they constitute the moving power, whilst the two last, but particularly the assessor (who is the most important officer after all), are removed from their offices before they have had time to learn their duties. To which class of society, may I ask, do these Lords of the Trea sury and Commissioners belong? Do they not belong to the very class who possess the splendid mansions you allude to, as not being assessed at one-fourth their real value ? Is not the ' surveyor of their nomination ? Do not the Commissioners be long to the same'class, from whose ranks the Lords of the Treasury are chosen ? Under these circumstances, may I not fairly conclude, that the bias of the surveyor's mind must ne cessarily be in favour of those to whom he owes his situation ? Look on the other hand, and from which class do we find the assessors chosen ? Do we not find them selected from amongst those who are crying out by reason of their oppression ? Is the assessor likely intentionally to favour his oppressor? No. It is to the surveyer we must attribute the evil of which you corn vlain ; his power to do mischief is almost unlimited; and though it may appear to be curbed by the law, yet, from the ease with which he can evade it, the law seldom or ever reaches him. He has, too, the law-makers on his side, who will not fail to palliate his faults, and retain him in their service, so long as he casts their portion of the taxes on others. Let us examine his power. The surveyors or inspectors appointed, or to be ap pointed, as herein mentioned, shall inspect and examine all the returns of lists or declarations made by any persons chargeable to any of the said duties, according to the directions of this Act, and also the assessments, of any of the said duties, made for any parish or place, as well before as after the Commissioners shall have signed and allowed the said assessments ; and, before such allowance, may correct and amend the same if he or they shall see fit. Can anything be more monstrous than this ? We have here a man, or set of men, who are empowered to make any alteration they may see fit' in the certificate to be sworn to by the assessor. In whose favour this alteration is most likely to he made, may be easily conjectured ; for we know well enough, that servants who depend upon their mas ters for their daily bread, will, in all probability, do all they can to curry favour from them, by saving their pockets at the ex pense of others. An alteration, if made by the surveyor, must be before the allowance of the certificate by the Commissioners; and, since few assessors would swear to any other statement than their own, the oath required to be administered to the assessor on taking in his certificate for verification of its cor rectness, is generally dispensed with, and it goes at once into the surveyor's hands, and is afterwards presented by him to the Commissioners for their allowance, and is signed by them as a matter of course. An assessor has no control over his own assessment. After it has once passed from his hand, he seldom if ever sees it again."—Morning Chronicle. We understand that the directors of the Lon don and Birmingham Railways have come to an arrange ment with the two noblemen whose opposition led to the failure of the Bill last session in the House of Lords, and that this important undertaking is now likely to obtain the sanction of the Legislature.—Northampton Mercury. GREENWICH IMPROVEMENTS.—Notice has been given by the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital of their intention to apply for a Bill in the next Parlia ment to enable them to erect a splendid terrace and esplanade fronting the Thames, from the Ship Tavern to the Horse Ferry, with a spacious wharf ft,r passengers to embark and disembark from the steam-vessels. King street and Stockwell-street, leading from the River to the Park, are to be rebuilt on an extended scale. Such im provements, added to the Naval Gallery about to be erected by order of his MAJESTY, together with the fa cilities afforded by the railroad (of which notice has also been given by the trustees of their intention to apply to Parliament for a Bill), cannot fail to make this once fla voured residence of Royalty in a short time a very at tractive place of resort. SUDDEN DEATH.—Saturday an inquest was held at the Gordon Arms, High Holborn, on the body of WILLIAM Wl[Adams, aged 30, cellarman to Mr. STAN.. N.Aftn, wine -merchant, of York-street, Covent-garden. The deceased, on Tuesday, was in the parlour of the Gordon Arms, engaged in conversation relative to cork cutting-machines, with a tradesman named Aungity, re siding in Lincoln's Inn-fields. He was making a sketch with chalk upon the table of what he considered would be an improvement in the machines, when he fell forward, groaned, and in an instant presented a lifeless corpse.— Vedict—Died by the visitation of God. REMINISCENCES OF GREAT MEN. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Great? Yes, great—in station, not in mind—for in mind the Hero of Waterloo it but a little man. We shall give several sketches of him to prove that in this estimate we " nothing exaggerate nor set down aught in malice." Sketch I. Scene, the Treasury : Time—that memora ble period when Wellington, after having disappointed the Manchester and Birmingham people, by his silence as to Reform, threw off the mask, and was about to declare him self a thick and thin Anti-Reformer. Enter the Editor of a Government pLint, who had been sent for in haste to the Treasury, by a gcretary to the Duke, who bad himself been sent for expressly from the country to Apsley House on the preceding day, for the purpose of being instructed to summon the editor to the Treasury. On his arrival he is informed that the Duke was furious at an article which had appeared in his paper, stating that some reform was at hand, and that he insisted on a contradiction, at the same time giving him a paper, on which the Duke had written about ten lines as an editorial article, contra dictory of that which had already appeared. EDITOR—. 4 will not insert it; the Duke makes me eat my own words. With an addition of three or four lines, and some omissions, it may appear, not otherwise. I know that Reform is at hand. Three days ago the King said to a gentleman of my acquaintance at his dinner table, " Something must be (lone about those cursed rotten boroughs." Tell the Duke I will not insert his ar ticle without the alterations which I have made. Exit Secretary. He returns, and states, that the Duke insists on the insertion of the article as he had written it, unless the Editor will give up the name of his informant. EDITOR---I will do no such thing, I know he has not deceived me; and that only four days ago the Duke was negotiating with the Reformers ; not having brought them to his terms, he has since taken in some Anti-Reformers to strengthen him, and they have probably taken alarm at my article, supposing that the Duke intends to jockey them as he did on the Catholic Question. I have no objection to insert an article, stating that what I said was without the authority of the Duke, but I will not insert his produc tion : tell him so. Exit Secretary, who returns, and says, that the Duke is positive, and that lie insists upon the insertion of his ar ticle as he had written it, or the name of the gentleman with whom the King had been talking. In the event of refusal to comply with the Duke's wish, the Editor is to consider the connection between the and the Go vernment at an end. EDITOR—Be it so. lam a Reformer, and will not lend myself to the views of the Duke as an Anti-Reformer. Neither will I give up the name of the informant on whose word I wrote the article which has so mortified the Duke. Tell him so again. Exit Secretary—be returns and says, " The Duke is positive." EDITOR—So am I ; and now tell the Duke that I will have the King apprised of the request which he makes re specting the King's friend—a request alike disrespectful to his Majesty and insulting to my character—unless he con sents to the insertion of his article with my alterations. SECRETARY-1 dare not tell him this. EDITOR-Then I will write it. Exit Secretary—Returns and says, " The Duke says you are to have your own way." Oh ! magnanimous Duke of Wellington ! Oh ! vacil lating Duke, before whom the poor creatures of his Cabinet trembled, but who himself submitted to the firmness of a newspaper Editor. The article appeared as amended. Two days afterwards the Duke and his clique secretly got up another paper, protesting, however, solemnly that they had no interest in it, in order thus to prevent an ex posure of their meanness and political dishonesty. The paper started. On the day when it first made its appear ance, the Duke was turned out of office. Tins is NOT APOCRYPHAL.—MerIe's Weekly Register. CHOUAN.—The derivation of this word, ap plied to the partisans of the BOURBON aine, in LaVendee, is from Chouan, a night awl ; as they were accustomed to come out only at night, like the White Boys and Rock ites in Ireland. AN INTERESTING GERMAN VILLAGE.- There is near Halberstadt, in Prussia, a village, named Strodbeck, where all the inhabitants, men and children, are chess-players. They were converted to the game some centuries since by a Dignitary of the Cathedral of Halber stadt, who allowed them exemption from imposts as long as they should be winners in this game, and every year a person was sent down to try them. Since the secularization of the bishopric of Halberstadt, and its union with the kingdom of Prussia, they lest a game, and since that time their immunity ceased, but their predilection for this amusement continues. —Anglo- Germanic Advertiser. THE AFFAIR AT CROCKFORD'S BAZAAR. —The young ladies concerned in this affair are the daugh ters of one of the clerks in a High Court of Equity. He is himself a gentleman highly respected for the strictest integrity, the most unblemished honour, and the sincerest politeness. The daughters are extremely fine gills ; the eldest has just attained the age of twenty-one, and has recently come into posse-lion of 12,0001., left by a rela tive; the youngest is about eighteen, and will be entitled to the same sum when she is of age. They are related, that is, they are neices;either by the mother's or father's side, to a distinguished Secretary for a certain Depart. ment.— Observer. ASSASSINATION OF M. DELPECH.—This deplorable event, which took place at Montpelier on the 29th ult., has created the most intense and painful interest relative to the facts. DEMeTOS, the murderer, had been a patient of M. DELPECII some time before. He was treated for varicocele, and it would seem that the cure was attended with circumstances that rendered it imprudent for him to form a matrimonial engagement. It is further stated that M. DELPECII, having been consulted by a family into which DEMPTOS wished to marry, gave them some intima tion of his patient's condition. DE/IPTOS met M. DEL PECII at the theatre the night before the fatal deed, and it is thought that he demanded from M. DELPECII a retrac tion of what had been said to the farn:ly. However, on the 29th the assassin stationed himself in the balcony of the house where he lodged, and watched the approach of M. PELPECH'S cabriolet. It came, when with one shot from a double-barrelled gun he killed the servant, and with the other the mister. He then retired into the house, and blew out his own brains with a pistol. M. DELPECII expired in a few minutes. His obsequies were performed on the 31st, amid the general lamentation of the people of - Montpelier. Orations were pronounced over his tomb by MM. DUGES, BOYER, and TRINQUIER. M. DELPECII was in his 60th year. He was a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, Professor of Clinical Surgery to the Faculty of Montpelier, Surgeon-in-Chief to the prin cipal hospital, and a member of numerous learned societies throughout Europe. On examination of his body, it was found that .he ball had entered just above the nipple of the left breast ; after fracturing a rib, it passed through the upper part of the lung, tore the cross of the aorta, divided the apex of the right lung, and came out at the shoulder of tat Bide, after a fracture of the humerus. From morbid appearances discovered in the lungs, it is supposed that M. DELPECII cou'd not, in the ordinary course of nature, have lived many years.—Medical Gazette. PEDESTRIANISM AMONG THE ALPS.-011e should be in Switzerland to have the full value of those useful lower limbs which nature has provided for our locomotion. Britain, for an Englishman, is being too much at home; France, generally speaking, is too flat and unvaried—Germany, too dull and too phlegmatic— Holland, too swampy and too low; even Italy, too warm and malarious, for the height of rambling enjoy ment. It is only in Switzerland that we have, within the compass of a day's march, all the varieties of climate from Iceland to Sicily—of scenery, from Madeira to Nova Zembla—of people, of language, of dress, mari ners, customs, and complexions. In such a country one may, indeed, enjoy pedestrianizing in perfection. There is something inspiringly free in the swinging gait of a pedestrian among the Alps. Attired in his bleusse and cap, and accoutred with his pole, knapsack, and their subordinate paraphernalia of telescope, spirit flask, &c., he presents a fine picture of animation, brushing off, en route, at sunrise—vigour in his step, and his s pi r i ts e l ate and buoyant as the mountain air which contr ib utes to his viracity. He traverses an ever - varying range of valleys, forest, heath, snow, and glacier —now pausing to admire the landscape, and now to converse with a group of peasants; or to study the geological or botanical features of the scene. He spends the beat of the day at an auberge, or perhaps some lonely chalet in his track, enjoys a refreshing siesta for two or thre e h ours, an d sets out again to pursue his walk. As he passes into the valley towards the close of the day, a descendin g sun is reflected from the polished surface of some lovely expanse of lake, and gilds a rich prospect of mountain, wood, and dell, with the exquisite mellow shades of evening, placidly harmonizing with the traveller's own s u bd ue d feelings ; while, before he reac h e s the village inn, which is the night, the moon smil es " b r i g h ter and blue chain of mounta i ns on to shelter nao re bright" him over r a dark the one hand, and the other the "snow-clad summits of the hoary Alps," in the distance, are radiant with that carmine glow imparted to them by the setting sun.—Au rora Borealie. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. DISCOVERY OF PART OF A NEST OF BURGLARS..--- Yesterday, a smartly-dressed young woman, named Mary Wall, and a man, named Thomas Richardson, known as a returned transport, were brought before Mr. HALLS, charged on su.picion of having been concerned in a num her of burglaries, and with having a vast number of house breaking implements in their possession. George Spindle Howell, a constable of St. Ann's, Soho, in consequence of private information, on Sunday, watched the female prisoner home to her lodging in Chapel -court, Crown-street, Soho, and going into ber room, he searched a large chest, enclosed in which he found an iron box, containing, besidei seven sovereigns and a silver watch, with a great number of duplicates, 56 picklock and skele ton keys, a phosphorus box, several jemmies or crow bars, and other housebreaking implements. He took her into custody, and in answer to questions which he put to her, she admitted that she had been living with the pri soner Richardson for some time, and that occasionally she took the iron box out under her shawl at night-fall, and met him at an appointed place and gave it to him, and that be fore d tyliehr she met him again, and took the box from him and conveyed it to her own lodging, he having a sepa rate one. She said she had lived servant at Mr. Forbes's, a linen-draper in Middle•row, Holborn, for about two years. Witness afterwards apprehended the male prisoner at the corner of Compton-street, and having ascertained that be rented a back garret in Princes-street, Soho, searched there and found a crow-bar and other similar implements, and two instruments called life-preservers (they might with equal propriety be called life. destroyers), made of whalebone, with a knob of lead covered at each end. There was a" hull's eye" glass in the door, by which any one inside could see who required admission ; and there were also beds sufficient for five or six men, made upon chairs, in different parts of the room. The prisoners said nothing, and were remanded till Thursday, when it is expected that important evidence will be brought forward. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Joseph, a man of colour, and John Harrop, were brought before Mr. DYER yesterday, charged with having obtained a quantity of spirits and malt liquors from Mr. Richard Jenkins, landlord of the Catherine Wheel public-house, St. James's, by fraudulent repre sentations. Mr. Jenkins stated, that Joseph came to his house and said he had been sent by Mr. Best, porter to Sir Francis Burdett, in St. James's-place, for a pint of brandy and half a gallon of porter. Having some know ledge of the prisoner, from knowing that he swept the crossing at St. James's•place, he let him have the liquors, and in a short time afterwards the prisoner Harrop came with an older for half a gallon of ale for Sir Francis Burdett's porter, which he also let him have. The fraud was shortly after wards detected, and as it was accompanied by circum stances which rendered the conduct of Joseph particu larly inexcusable, witness gave the prisoners into custody. Best, the porter to Sir Francis, came forward and stated that he knew the prisoner Joseph, who got a very excellent living by sweeping a crossing to St. James's place ; it was not so much from the money he obtained as a sweeper, as it was from the kindness of the noble resi dents in the neighbourhood, that Joseph contrived to make so good a living. The family of Sir Francis had been ex ceedingly kind to him ; and it was only a few days ago the young ladies sent him half-a-crown, to which he added a shilling from his own pocket. Lady Sykes, among many others, had been very charitable towards him, and in particular, Lord Spencer, when in town, used to allow him about seven shillings a week. The prisoner was, however, quite unworthy of so much kindness, having, during the last week, imposed upon almost all the charit ble residents in that neighbourhood by stories of fictitious distress. The prisoner had, after obtaining the liquors from Mr. Jenkins, contrived to obtain some tnoney from him, by sending the prisoner Harrop to him with a mes sage, that " Black Joe," meaning himself, had just been run over by a cart, and so severely injured as to be in capacitated from attending to the duties of his broom for some time. Harrop also stated, that in addition to this misfortune, Joe's wife was just put to bed, and therefore a few shillings would be of the utmost service to both. Wit. ness found out afterwards, that instead of Black Joe's wife, it was Black Joe himself who had been put to bed, dead drunk, and that the story of his having been run over was trumped up for the purpose of getting more money to purchase liquor with. Mr. DYER inquired of Harrop why he had told Mr. Best that Black Joe had been run over by a cart. Harrop—The gentleman must have misunderstood me ; I said that Joe was standing in the rear of a cab, and had nearly been run over. Best—Why, when you told me he was so much in jured, and I said I would apply to Sir Francis to get him into the hospital, you said, " Oh ! he's not hurt enoush for that—a few shillings would answer his purpose better than an order."—(Lriughter.) The prisoner Joseph, in defence, pleaded intoxication. Mr. tlvEtt remarked there appeared to be no excuse for him. He obtained, through the kindness of charitable individuals, a better living than half the working people in Lond and therefore necessity could not be pleaded as an excuse for the resort to fraud. He should order both parties to be committed for the offence. MARYLEBONE, Yesterday Thomas Ellis was charged by Mr. Daniel Bedborough, of Jacob's Well, Charles-street, Manchester square, and also by Mrs. Sarah Daniels, of the Stag, in Dorset street, with pot-stealing.--Ellis was committed. TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK. Yesterday James O'Brien, an athletic Irishman, was placed at the bar, charged with threatening to assault Mr. Buxton, the landlord of the George and Phmnix, in Ber rnondsey-stree►, Southwark ; and also with destroying his property and maltreating his customers. Mr. Buxton stated, that the defendant came into his house, and the instant he entered he commenced an assault upo❑ his customers. A general fight took place, and every effort was made to eject the defendant from the house without the aid of the police. The defendant, instead of attending to the remonstrances of those around him, attacked an old man, whom lie knocked against the bar spirit-fountain, which he broke, severely injuring the old man, and damaging the fountain, which would cost upwards of 1/. Bs. to repair. The watchman, who took the defendant into custody, said his conduct was so violent, that bad it not been for the assistance which he received from other permits, not an entire vestige of glass would have bee❑ seen in the bar. Alder man THORPE—What have you to say fur your self ? Defendant—Please your Wurtchip, I was going to wake my cousin that was just dead. Alderman THORPE—It would have been much better that you should have been sleeping, instead of injuring the complainant's property.

The three cardinal virtues, being called forward by name, appeared before the Magistrate in the person of a squat, homely-looking damsel—Faith, H o pe, and Charity—in the family way ! The Bethnal green people objected to the threatened incumbrance of an illegitimate incr,ase of the virtues, and sought to remove the parent stock to a parish in the city, where a settle. ment bad been acq uired b y two y ears' servitude. The usual questions having been asked, Miss Faith, Hope, and Charity Jeffrey was removed per order accordingly. How TO FLOG A RASCAL.—In some parts of the United States the High Sheriffs perform the same duties as our parish beadles, and whip the criminals them selves. The Sheriff of Hartford county, i n C onne cti c ut, a gentleman of g ood family and fortune, i n f orme d me t h a t h e always attende d the trials of prisoners, and formed his own opinion as to their degrees of guilt. " For otherwise," s aid he, " how am Ito know how hard t o hit them ?

BRITISH SPORTS.—" To say that the author of the New Sporting Work called Wild Sports of the West' understood his subject well is unnecessary : none but a thorough-bred sportsman could write the book, and very few sportsmen could write such a book. There is a happy succession of anecdote and description, e v er p resent i ng fresh and striking objects. The interest nev e r a b a t es , t h e su bjects are varie d and original—the style is light, playful, and elegant, and perfectly adapted to th e f anc if u l an d sprightly scenes so happily pourtray e d b y t h e wr i ter. T he , cener y, too, is admirably drawn, and the whole descrip tion so animated and natural, that we imagine ourselves on the summit of the mountain, peeping over the precipice at the wild flock that never needs a fold.' "—Sporting Magaaine for November. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 26. MELHUISH V. RAWDEN. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE pronounced the judgment of the Court in this case to-day. The rule for a new trial, he said, proceeded on the ground that the Judge who tried the cause had misdirected the Jury when he informed them that the rule of law was, that they were to determine whether or not the plaintiff had incurred an unrea-onable delay in sending forward the bill for acceptance, in de ciding which they were bound to take the interest of both parties, as well the bolder as the drawer, into considera tion. The Jury which had tried this cause was a special Jury of merchants, and therefore one which must be pre sumed to be competent to form a sound judgment on the question. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the question which should have been left to the Jury was, whether or net there had been due diligence used in forwarding the bill for acceptance, with reference to the in terest of the drawer. No evidence had been adduced of any general custom as to a limited time within which a hill of this description should be forwarded for acceptance ; but a great deal of conflicting evidence had been given by different merchants as to what was their understanding on the subject. Then, again, by the law of England, no defi nite time was fixed within which bills (brawn at sight must be presented for acceptance. In France the law re quired that, if drawn on the continent or in the i , lands of Europe, they must be presented within six months from their date ; hut no such law existed in England. There fore there was no other rule to be laid down, than that due diligence: must be used, anti they must he presented within a reasonable time. The Court, under all the circumstances of the case, thought that the July bad been properly directed, and that the rule for a new trial must be discharged. DIGBY V. ALEXANDER, ALIAS LORD STIRLING. In this case, which has been more than once before the public, Mr. Sergeant Taddy obtained, on a former day, a rule to show cause why the writ of capias ad statisfa ciendum which had issued apinst the defendants, and the subsequent proceedings, should not be set aside, on the ground that the defendant was a Peer of Scotland, and therefore privileged from such process. The affidavits on which the rule was obtained disclosed those facts with which the public are already familiar, of the defendant having voted in the election of Scotch representative Peers, and in other respects acted as a Peer of Scotland. Mr. Sergeant STEPHEN to-day showed cause against the rule. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY replied, and The COURT were of opinion that the defendant, not having availed himself of his privilege at the proper time, by pleading it directly and positively in abatement, could not now, after the expense of all the subsequent proceed ings had been incurred, be let in to overturn all those pro ceedings, and therefore the rule must he discharged. In the course of the morning, the Earl of Sandwich ap peared at the bar, and went through the form of suffering a recovery. Mr. Sergeant WILDE was so far convalescent as to be able to attend Court to-day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26. THE EARL OF FALMOUTH V. THOMAS. Lord LYNDHURST pronounced the judgment of the Court upon the demurrers herein. The first count of the declaration stated that the plaintiff was possessed of a farm, on which there we , e certain crops and certain labour had been bestowed, and materials employed thereon, and in consideration that the plaintiff had let the farm to de fendant for fourteen years, the defendant promised to pay for the crops and labour. The breach was that he had not paid. The defendant pleaded that there was no agreement in writing, and it was con tended by his Counsel, that he was protected by the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds, enacting " that no action shall be brought to charge any person upon any contract or sale of lands, or any interest in them, unless the agree ment shall be in writing, and signed by the party to be charged therewith." We think that the defendant comes under the protection of this statute. It was then urged for the plaintiff that the defendant was liable on the counts for a quantum meruit and for an account stated, but to these counts the Statute of Frauds was also pleaded, to which the plaintiff replied that the crops were taken after the verbal agreement. The object of the plaintiff was to take, if possible, his case out of the Statute of Frauds, but he has been defeated in that object. The declaration therefore is bad in these counts. An other count charges the defendant with cultivating and managing the farm in an improper manner and contrary to the custom of the country. To this the delandaut has de murred specially, and has stated for cause that the count is uncertain and vague, the plaintiff not having set forth what the custom is. We are, however, of opinion that, although the count is certainly in general terms, yet it is sufficient. There must therefore be judgment fir the plaintiff on the demurrers to that count, and for the de fendant on the other demurrers. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 26. MR. MONCK MASON'S BANKRUPTCY. The adjourned meeting of the creditors of Mr. Monck Mason, of the Opera-house, for the proof of debts and choke of assignees, took place to-day at one o'clock. The amount of debts proved was only 4,296/. ; hut we were informed that the total of the bankrupt's debts were about 33,000/., distributed in somewhere about the fol lowing proportions:—to Mr. Mason, the bankrupt's father, 12,000/. ; to Mr. Ottley, for money advanced, 4,500/. ; to Mr. Shaw, 2,5001.; to tradesmen, 4,0001.; to different performers, 8,000/. ; to the committee for sums advanced on the properties of the Opera-house, Mr. Ottley was allowed to enter a claim for 2,900/., hav ing a security for so touch of his debt, and to prove only for the remainder of the 4,500/. Mr. Spangnoletti proved for 123/., and many of the servants of the Opera house for small sums of Si. and 101. No opinion can yet be given of the probable amount of assets, but it was stated that the value of Mr. Monck Mason's share of the properties of the theatre was 9,0001. ➢lr. Samuel Alfred Gol,!ney, of Regent-street, the petitioning creditor, was elected assignee. PARIS, Nov. 24. (From the Morning Herald Private Correspondent.) The internal affairs of France have taken an unexpected turn. The management of the Doctrinnaires has been ad mirable, and crowned with success. The triumph of M. Dupin and his party has been so far beyond their own hopes as to have thrown them off their guard. The de feat of the Liberaux has been so complete as to reduce them to sullen opposition. The first trial of strength of these parties occurred in the choice of the Chairman and Secretary for each of the nine Bureaux or Committees into which the Chamber i f Deputies is divided. Of these nine the Gauche were only able to procure the return of one of their party. The next essay was the election of aPresident of the Cham ber. The contest lay, as you know, between M. Laffitte and M. Dupin, and was decided by the throwing of the whole might of Ministerial influence into the scale of the latter, which gave to him an immense preponderance ; of the election of Vice-Presidents I shall say nothing ; but the third grand struggle took place yesterday, on the ap pointment of a Committee of Nine, to draw up the Ad dress in reply to the Speech from the Throne. Here the Doctrinnairestriumphed—theDupinites exhibited weak ness, and the Gauche manifested impotency. Of these nine not one belongs to the Liberal party, as will be seen in the following brief recapitulation : The first on the list, M. Lepelletier d'Aulnay, is the ftther of the Doctrinnaires (M. Royer Collard). Al. Madier de Montjaud, is the elect of M. niers. M. de Schonen is the candidate of the Camarillo. M. Martin, the cypher of the Minist.r of Finance. M. Keraty is a professed Doctrinnuire, but so versatile and so otherwise ridiculous, that his election is calculated more strongly to evince the strength of the Doctrine, than was the choice of the protege of Royer-Collard himself.' M. Vatimesnel is a man still more strongly opposed to liberalism than M. Keratry. M. Pelet de la Lozere is a calculating time ser ving person, who held a Prefecture during " the hundred days ;" and on his retreat from office after the battle of Waterloo, prudently erased his name which he bad ap pended to the acts addi,ionel. Those seven are the Re presentatives of Ministers and the Doctrine in the Com mittee of Nine appointed to prepare the address. The remaining two, MM. Etienne and Berenger, are Depu ties, men possessing more talent than the other seven, but although they may induce the majority to adopt verbal amendments or rhetorical flourishes, the seven will outvote them, and draw up an add tees per fectly in th e Ministerial sense. Thus am I justified in saying that the management of the Ministers and Doctrin naires has been admirable and su ccessful—thatthe Dupin itea, have been thrown off their guard, and consequently defeated—for the moment--and that the Liberaux have * The following extremely illiberal character of this Legis lator I copy from a work to be had of any of the booksellers of Paris Petit de corps—petit d'esprit. Petit en courage—petit en credit En tout petit—petit—petit. been totally discomfited. A peat deal more might be said on this subject, but I think I have given you quite as much of it as, at this moment, or rather at this crisis, you would endure. I may be permitted to observe, however, that the Opposition has not been deserted by a single man. The Moderes have preferred Ministers, but their leader, M.Dupin himself, is so excitable, th it there can be no tenacity in the union with them which the Doctrin naires imagine they have cemented. The Gauche will remain a compact, firm, inflexible phalanx, and will as certainly triumph in the end, as did the Reformers in the British Parliament. Public opinion continues divided on the subject of the pistol-shot fired as the King passed the Pont Royal on Monday last. lam again assured that a man did actually fire that shot, and I have the authority of an Ex-Judge of one of the Com to of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for saying that " no man ever received his ad versary's fire with worse grace than did the King of the French." In making this remark, my fire-eating country man meant not, I am sure, to attribute to his Majesty Louis Philip any undue portion of nervousness ; still he is culpably critical. His own experience in those matters has been so great as to deprive his auricular organ of all sensibility ; but he ought to recollect that it was not ever thus. " It has a strange quick jar upon the ear, That cocking of a pistol" " -- After being fired at once or twice, and that The ear becomes more Irish and less nice." Devoutly praying that no such repetition may occur, to produce upon the King of the French the impression al luded to by the Noble poet, I shall repeat a former remark —that his undissembled surprise acquits the King of having been prepared for the coup. That it was a Mini sterial mar,ceovre is, however, still asserted by many ; that the woman who figured as a witness in the affair was the party who fired the shot, is credited by yet more ; and that the Carlists and Republicans had nothing to do with it, is the conviction of a still larger portion of the public. The affair has, however, nearly sunk into oblivion—although the Court and the Ministry are doing all in their power to turn it to account. Addresses are pouring in, and s ought after with avidity, and a review of the elite of the National Guards of Paris, and the Banieu is ordered for to-morrow, in order to afford to the King the pleasure of hearing " one cheer more." Still I must observe that, in propor tion as the opinion extends itself, that no real attempt to assassinate his Majesty was made the " decent horror" of the public at the alleged offence, begins so sensibly to sub' side as to afford leisure for attention to those other tri fling matters—the Ministerial trials—the Chambers, and the question of peace or war now being solved in Belgium. Apropos—l thought I had for the time terminated the former, but observe that I omitted remarking that as M. Dupin is, ex• officio, a Men" her of the Committee appointed to draw up the ltd . dress, he may, even in that preparatory proceeding, cut with his wily friends, in consequence of their now 13" - torious views to the monopoly of power. On the subject of war I shall say little more than that, notwithstanding the contradictory nature of the news from GermanY , received here since my last, the apprehensions of a ge neral conflict increase. Some hope was founded on the alleged coldness of Austria, cawed, as was said, by suspicious movements of Russia in and towards Wal lachia and Moldavia, and of the too close intimacy of the Prussian and Russian Cabinets; but this hope appears less vivid today than on Thursday last, when it was reported that Prince Metternich had (through Marshal Maison) intimated to the French Go vernment that it had no hostilities to dread et the hands of Austria. The rumoured intentio n of Marshal &alit to leave Paris for the Arta of the East, has also tended to produce a gloomy sensation in Paris, although that report has been officially contradicted. The preparations for war ere' however, so active, and on such a scale, as very seriously to apply themselves to our feelings. The attendance ° I military men at the levees of the Minister and of the King, is, moreover, observed to be more assiduous than e t any period since 1815. Among others of the Anciene who have been at the Chateau lately, figured lihn who 01 r called by the Emperor " the younger Kellerman." Of the unbending oppositionists in the Chambers, or in France' none exceeds in hostility to thejuste milieu and its s ystento that odd looking little fellow the Duke of Valmy ; but the tact of his being the best cavalry officer in the world! . covers, in Marshal Souk's eyes, a multitude of faults.
