and concord, harmony of views and wishes, interest and zeal for the common cause, and readiness to sacrifice evt ry private advantage to a great and national object ; and hs culcate the same sentiments in the hearts of all to whom your influence extends. Recollect that on the race-course every moment of repose proves dangerous to those who are in the race, and that restless and redoubled endeavours to attain their object are always made by those who are familiarized with victory. To stop in your career is to lose the prize. As soon as you stand still, your strength abandons you, the apathy of discouragement overcomes you, and night approaches and mantles you in her terrors. With the more constancy and determination you advance, the more certainly will you escape this feeling of fatigue; hope will more frequently fan you with her freshest breezes, and you will the sooner be saluted by the purple dawn of morning."

Yesterday the Recorder made his Report to his Ma jesty of the prisoners in Newgate under sentence of death, convicted at the last May Session, viz. :—Andrew Mor gan, 52, John Dalton, 29, Thomas Fuller, 44, El;ztbeth Peacock alias Paternoster, 49, and Cornelius Driscoll, 41, uttering a forged will; Daniel Elliott, 26, Samuel Crow son alias Fisher, 27, James Crayford, 23, John Bates, 18, Elizabeth Martin, 60, Robert Jones, 23, Ge , rge Robin son, 22, Henry Godfrey, 20, housebreaking; Patrick Cane, 32, Richard Brown, 25, Henry M'Namara, 22, Lucy Biddle, 23, stealing in dwelling house; George Jones, 34, burglary; William Dancer, 20, and John Grafton, 24, highway robbery; James Pearce, 39, and Edward Mansfield, 25, cutting and maiming ; also George Althen, 20, convicted at the last February Sessions of stealing in a dwelling-h , iuse ; all of whom his Majesty was graciously pleased to respite, during his Royal plea sure, except Morgan and others (forging a will), whose case is postponed for further consideration. THE CHOLERA.—We regret to state that the cholera is spreading fast in some of tde prisons of the Metropolis. Last night three deaths took place, and this morning another, in the New Prison, Clerkenwell ; and many patients affected with the dreadful disease are in the Infirmary. The " Sunderland Dock" Bill, after clouds of witnesses had been examined by the Lords, and after the attendance of crowds of Counsel, Attorneys, Agents, En gineers, Surveyors, Parliamentary Agents, &c., has shared the fate of the London and Birmingham Railway Bill : it also has been thrown out by the Lords, their Lordships' Committee hav,ng, after all the investigation, and all the expense (saying nothing of the fistyeuffs in the long gal lery) discovered " that the preamble had not been proved." If the measure be desired, the Bill must be begun de novo ; and the " pretty pickings" repeated. On Thursday night last the eastern part of Kent was visited by an alarming appearance of the at mosphere; in almost every part the electric fluid illumi nated the heavens, and often presented them in one blaze. From eleven till twelve o'clock the scene was terrific. From all the accounts that have reached us it appears the heaviness of the storm was most severely felt at Margate, the effects of which it is almost impossible to describe. Hail, rain, thunder, and lightning, descended in quick suc cession ; the largest hailstones seen within the recollection of roan covered the ground. The damage done is esti mated to exceed 1,0001 —Kent and Essex Mercury. TORQUAY.—On Friday forenoon, it blow ing fresh, Mr. COGGIN, of Torquay, was standing for the pier-head, in his yacht. The sail, in jibbing, knocked a man overboard, who, in addition to his not being able to s wim. had a large heavy velveteen jacket, and but for prompt assistance must have drowned. Two gentlemen were standing on the pier -bead, MARSDON and GRIFFITHS, Esqrs. The former in a moment threw off hie coat and sprang off the pier-head ; the latter threw a 1 11-glass he had in his hand on the ground, and dashed in without taking off an article of apparel. Mr. MARSDON succeeded in reaching the poor man, and held him up until a boat came to their assistance. Each gentleman had a valu able gold watch i n hi s pocket, which of course was much injured. Some two or th:ee years since, Sir L. V. PALK, Bart., jumped off the same pier, and saved a child from drowning._ll estern Times. The cholera is, we are sorry to say, making rapid strides in the metropolis. Yesterday forenoon a fine little gi r l, al) , ut s i x years o f age, t h e ',daughter of Mr. Thews, a chronometer -maker, in Lombard-street, fell a victim to the disease in a very few hours. Mr. GUEST, the pawnbroker, on the west side of Farringdon-street, also died yesterday' after a short illness. A lady named DONZELL, living in Bishopsgate-street, went out on Sun nay evening with her husband for a walk, and returned in good health and spirits, and in the morning she was a life less corpse. No less than nine Jews are now lying dead in the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane with the dreadful malady. ACCIDENT TO A CLIMBING BOY.—Yes• terday morning, at an early hour a little boy, aged six, in the employ of Mr. Etnowis, a chimney-sweep, of Gray's Inn-lane, was engaged in removing the soot from a chim ney -pot, at the house of Mr. HESLOP, landlord of the Bose, at the corner of Hatton-garden, when the pot gave w ay, and he was precipitated from the top of the house, height of three stories, to the yard of Mr. HESLOP'S house. The pot was broken to pieces, and the boy was shockingly lacerated. His cries were terrific, and alarmed the whole neighbourhood. He was taken to St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, where he lies without hope of recovery. DUCKETT AND MORLAND'S BANK RUPTCY.—At a meeting of the creditors on Monday, in the Bankruptcy Court, it was proposed that application should be made to Parliament for an Act to enable them to dispose of the Stort Navigation and the Hertford Union Canals in shares, and to form a Company; but the propo sition was at length rejected, upon the ground that the creditors were completely ignorant of the cost, expendi ture, and receipts of the canals, and they thought that the property would be more beneficially disposed of by selling it to three or four individuals, than by forming them selves into a Company. The Chairman then announced to the meeting that the assignees had realised 26,893/. upon the various estates of the bankrupts, and that there was yet a considerable property unsold. The total amount of debts at present proved against the jo:nt estate exceeds 130,000/. The good debts due to the estate amount to nearly 105,000/. On Saturday last, Mr. WILLIAM WEIR, spirit dealer, and his wife, went aboard the Gleniffer, for Gourock. In the passage down the river, Mrs. Went was seized with the preivonitary symptoms of cholera. On reaching the shore, she was enabled to walk to the Glasgow Arms Inn, where she was at once received, and where the utmost attention was paid to all her wants and wishes. Mr. CRAWFORD, surgeon, and Mr. Baucx from Greenock, were called, and every means tried for her recovery, but they all proved unavail ng. She expired about eight o'clock next nivrning, and was buri_d in the course of the forenoon. —Paisley Advertiser. From some circumstances which have tran spired in the course of the day, there is reason for suspect ing that a deep manoeuvre is concocting on the part of certain members of the Bank Committee, for the purpose of getting out of the way other members of that Com mittee, whose sagacity and acute inquiries have gone the farthest in exposing the evils of the old system ; the object being of course to avail themselves of the absence of its impugners to bring the investigation to an abrupt close, and if possible, to carry the renewal of the Bank Charter through Parliament before the termination of this Session. At present it does not amount to more than suspicion that such a plot is on foot, but the character of the men sup posed to be engaged in it does certainly lend great consis tency to such suspicion, for the parties referred to are not only among the staunchest adherents of the old system, but taire not without f ears, per h aps, of personal consequences to 4, emselv e s from i ts b rea ki ng up. We shall not enter furtheron this supposed co ns pi racy t h an to remar k, that one ofthe expedients is to withdraw the obnoxious mem bers from their attendance on the Committee, by raising places opposition t o t h em in those net for which they propose to become candid ates in th e Parliament, and hence compelling them t o l eave town in order vv ka to secure them selves by an immedi a t e canvass. Whatever foundation foundation 4 there may ultimately p eeve f or the suspicion, enough to desire that publi c attention may, for s om e we k days n" ria to come, be very particularly di rected towardst he pro ceedings of the Bank Committe e . Th e next witness to be examined before it is Mr. Attwood, of Birmingham._. Times. SOMNAMBULISM.—Last week a gentleman who slept at a respectable tavern in this city, while reposing in the arm s of Morpheus, dreamt that the tavern was on fire, and unconscious of what he was doing, jumped out of bed, and made towards the window, where in forcing his burning cranium through, he broke two large panes of that brittle material, the noise of which alarmed the in mates, who immediately repaired to the spot, and found the gentleman in the situation described, vehemently cry ing Fire, fire," and bleeding from the effect of several scratches he had received from the broken glass. He was extricated, and awoke ,with much difficulty. —Exeter r Gazette. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Paid. Per Share. Anglo Mex. Min. Co.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1832. The humanity of the present Government to wards the unfortunate persons convicted of capital offences at the Old Bailey, forms a pleasing contrast to the stern and unrelenting severity of their predecessors. We believe there was hardly a person who looked for the result of the Recorder's report under the former Govern ment without painful anxiety, because, in almost every instance, some two, three, and not unfre quently six, unhappy fellow creatures were consigned to an ignominious death, for crimes, which in most other civilized countries are punished with banishment and imprisonment. In former times mercy was the exception, and severity the general rule, yet crimes went on in creasing beyond all former precedents. Now severity is the exception, and the last sentence of the law is seldom or never carried into effect but in cases of murder or atrocious offences. Another instance of this humane principle of government was given yester day, when, on the RECORDER'S report being made to his MAJESTY, some eighteen or twenty persons were respited, and not one left for execution. Such humane con duct on the part of his MAJESTY and Council will do more to make the Government and laws respected than a thousand examples of severity. Another change of the system, however, is still wanting—and that is, to pass sentence of death only on those persons convicted of great crimes. By that means the majesty of the law would not be debased, as it now is, at the conclusion of every Old Bailey Sessions, and the unfortunate victim of crime would have time to prepare for his inevitable fate. The only Members who voted against Mr. HARVEY'S reasonable motion, last evening, were Sir C. WETHERELL, Mr. J. KNIGHT) Mr. GOULBURN, and Mr. J. GORDON. Sir HOBERT PEEL, and some other Anti-Reform Members, left the House some time previous to the division ; but these Hon. Members persisted in dividing, though they saw they had not the least chance of success, and the business of the night, at this advanced period of the Session, must be thrown back for several days. Reform phobia really produces strange exhibitions, when it can make men of great learning (we do not include all the four of course), and men who one would expect to see imbued with some of the liberal spirit that distinguished Athens and Rome in their best clays, acting rather like Man darins than British Senators. Though the days of religious crusades are over, those of political crusades are still in full vigour. The Emperor of AUSTRIA seem s bent on putting himself at the head of the mo dern crusaders, of surpassing, in fact, the exploits of " Peter the Hermit." In wrong-headed en thusiasm he already more than rivals that nota ble fanatic; but in tact and moral courag e he limps far behind him. His present crusade against the political freedom of Germany, i n which be is assisted by the King of PRUS SIA, (both of whom we suspect are, after all, nothing more than puppets in the hands of the great showman of the North) will, at least, have this good effect, that it will stir up a spirit of constitutional resistance throughout Germany, which will bring the great question of freedom and slavery to a speedy and successful issue. The determination to which Austria, as head of the Due. German Confederation, has at length come with regard to the future government of her different vassal principalities and electorates, is the result of no new light ; the mischief has been brewing ever since the French revolution of 1830, to which it avowedly owes its origin. But it is like Don Quixotte's war with the windmills, and will have precisely the same result. Had the Royal FRANCIS and his colleague FREDERICK WIL LIAM, the enlightened patron of military button. holes, meditated further aggressions on the freedom of Europe, they should have com menced their crusade long before. They are now many years too late. People's minds have nearly (if not quite) attained their full growth. They see that the feudal system is incompatible with the present state of society—that it is the worn-out bugbear of an age of darkness, when the few were the idols, and the many the blind iconoclasts, and will henceforth be governed not after a Royal, but after a popular fashion. We refer to our City article for some further particulars of Don PEDRO'S proceedings. It ap pears that he had not advanced much further on the road to Lisbon up to the 13th. He was probably waiting to give the country people an opportunity of declaring themselves, and anxious to learn what effect his landing produced at Lis bon. If he be able to maintain his ground for a short time, his numbers must be greatly in creased by deserters from MIGUEL'S standard, and by volunteers from all parts of the country, wherever the people can evade the vigilance of Don MIGUEL'S troops. The priests are straining every nerve to support the power of the Usurper—but we trust without any hopes of ultimate success. If Don PEDRO do not prevail in a month, he has little chance of establishing himself. In that time the people will have an opportunity of proving whether they prefer the tyranny of M I G UEL or the Constitutional freedom of Donna MARIA. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Ahxborough, from Grenada, is supposed to have arrived is the Channel. The Spheroid, from Trinidad, is suppose to have ar rived in the Clyde. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The only arrival as yet of any consequence is the Pan taloon of 10 guns, from the coast of Portugal, with dis patches from Lord William Russell, Admiral Parker; from Lisbon, and from Lord Cochrane, off Oporto. The ac count she brings is, that Don Pedro was still at Villa Nova, with a force of 5,000 men ; he had not made any advance up to the 13th inst., or was he joined by any of the troops of Don Miguel. For the present this does not look favourable for Don Pedro, but as yet we cannot say any thing to a certainty of his success or failure, having been so short a time in Portugal. An army without ca valry or materials cannot advance so rapidly as imagined, particularly against an enemy so superior in numbers, with bad roads, &c. therefore it would be more prudent for Don Pedro to remain in his present position until he ascertains the disposition of the country people around him ; for if they do not join his standard, he will have an enemy in his rear as well as in his front, should he thaard an advance, and his supplies will be cut off. He has a most powerful enemy to contend with in the priests of Portugal. THE FUNDS. This day is settling day in Consols ; little doing, e xcep t in settling accounts. The extreme fluctuation, during the present account, has not been more than about 1-a to per cent, consequently no failures are expected. C.lnsols may be quoted at 83- for money, ex-dividend, and for August account 83g. The master of the Baltic Coffee House, which nearly joins the Stock Exchange, having died of the cholera yes. terday, the members of that house have permission to smoke cigars. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour, we have not beard of any ex press from Paris, consequently we may conclude that no thing of importance has occurred in that capital. The settling of the Consol account appears at present to be going off well. It is understood to be a " Bull" ac count, as the contang o is 5-I6ths for next time. Consols are 831 for money, ex-div., and for August account S3l. In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Stock and Scrip have reced-d about 1 per cent., owing to the holders not having a favourable opinion of Don Pedro's expedition. We have no further accounts than those published from Don Pedro. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for account 831. FOUR O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES.

FUNERAL OF TOWNSEND, THE BOW STREET OFFICER. —The funeral of this well-known chit• racter took place yesterday morning. His remains were removed in a hearse from Eccleston.street, Pimlico, to St. Peter's Church, Pimlico, followed by two mourning coaches, in which were his relitives. SAYERS, his brother officer at Court, and a number of the principal con tables at the various police offices, also attended the funeral. It is a singular fact that TOWNSEND, the moment he heard of Sir R. BIRNIE's death, observed that he felt certain he should not survive him long. He has provided well for all his relatives; and previous to his death he procured, through the interest of Earl GREY, a situation in Somerset House for one of his nephews. His 111.4sEsxv, it is said, inquired of Lord CLINTON yesterday evening, whether " Poor old Towwszwo" had been buried. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Ex- PA RTE. FIDDEN ,IS ILE MOIL, Mr. COLERIDGE stated, that this was a petition pre .ented by the assignees of a bankrupt, named Bissix, against whom a commission had issued so far back as the year 1808. No dividend was declared till the year 1829, when one was advertised in the London Gazette and other public papers. Five of the creditors failed to claim the dividends, and the assignees (three years having elapsed since the dividend was declared), now prayed the Court, pursuant to the discretion vested in it by the Bankrupt Act, to order the sustained dividends to be divided amongst the other creditors. The CouRT asked if the assignees had taken any extranr- Unary trouble to find the creditors who had not claimed? At d ver ti se ment in a Bristol paper, as they all belonged to to that town, would, no doubt, cause some of them to come forward. Mr. COLERIDGE said that his clients had not taken any extraordinary steps to discover the creditors. His Honour Sir ALBERT PELL, observed that it cer tainly would not be consistent with justice to order a creditor's' dividend to be distributed without inquiry after him, when it hail been declared for twenty one years after the bankruptcy. He saw in the petition that one of the non-claiming creditors was a tuilor at Bristol named Sloper, whose dividend amounted to 761. Supposing that Sloper was dead, this was a sum which made it worth while to go to some trouble and expense to find out the party entitled to it. After some discussion it was ordered that the money should be paid into the hands of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, with liberty for any party in terested to apply for it.

WINCHESTER-Tummy. The assizes for the county of Hants commenced yestet day, when Mr. Justice TAUNTON and Mr. Justice PAT rtsoN arrived in this city, escorted by Sir Wm. Heathcote. Bart. the High Sheriff. Their Lordships immediate!) repair e d to the Castle, and opened the Commission. Thi> morning the Learned Judges attended divine service at the Cathedral, and at one o'clock proceeded to the Courts, Mr. Justice TAUNTON presiding in the Civil, and Mr. Justice PATTISON in the Crown Court. The business is generally far from heavy at this period of the year, and the calendar contains the names of 39 prisoners only, and there art only 17 causes entered. CROWN COURT. George Trovery was indicted for having stolen a bay gelding, the property of Richard Woolridge. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner had been seen lurking about the prosecutor's premises between the 9th and 13th days of June last, making inquiries about the colt in question, which was missed on the 13th. It was traced through Cherrington to Basingstoke Fair, where it was proved the prisoner bad sold it for 101. Upon his l:eing taken into custody shortly after, he denied having sold a colt, and said be had not been at Basingstoke Fair. In summing up the case, his Lordship said be did not know whether the Jury were aware, that an Act of Par. liatnent bad received the Royal Assent so late as the 11t1, instant, whereby the punishment of death for offences of this description was abolished, and the penalty was now transportation for life, not leaving it in the power or dis cretion of the Judge to commute the punishment. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for life. The business on the Civil si:le was perfectly uninteresting. OXFORD ASSIZES. The following case excited considerable interest from the atrocity of its circumstances, which had been the sub ject of much conversation in this neighbourhood : _ Edward Green, Samuel Green, Thomas Lincoln. alias White, were indicted for burglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of Jane Robson, at Cookham, an• stealing from thence valuable property. Mrs. Jane Robson, who from extreme age and infir mity was accommodated with a seat, resided at Pinckney" Green, about two miles from Maidenhead, in a very lonel! situation. On the night of the robbery, at about half past twelve, as she was getting into bed she heard a noise. and got up to look out of the window, but could se, nothing. Her daughter was fast asleep in bed in anothe► part of the room. Witness soon after heard heavy foot steps on the stairs, and shortly after the prisoners pre seated themselves at the door, and after a short parle) thrust it open, saying, they would have " blood or money.' Witness called out to her daughter to spring her rattle which she did ; the men entered the room, and one held an axe over witness's head, threatening her life. Witness's daughter made a great noise, and one of the men took hold of her neck and threw her on the bed, and attempted ti strangle her. They succeeded in stopping her cries. The men, whom the witness identified as the prisoners, then ransacked the house, and took from the drawers and other places property to the amount of more than twenty pounds, among which was a very old gold coin and an Indian coin, both of which, together with the other arti cles, the witness identified. The prisoners afterwards asked for something to eat and drink, which was given t, them. They remained about two hours in the house. This evidence was confirmed by other witnesses, and the prisoners were found Guilty. Edward Green, Daniel Morris, and Daniel Pigott. the former of whom was found Guilty in the last case. were indicted for a similar offence at the house of Jon ,- than Brunsden, and stealing from thence money and plate to a large amount. The Jury found them all Guilty. The Learned Judge then put on the black cap, and sen tenced all five men to be hanged. His Lordship concluded his address in tears, and the whole Court was mud affected. CHOLERA MORBUS. DEATH OF DR. BUCHANNAN. (From the Northern lVhig.) Among the recent victims of cholera, in this town, w• have to mention, with deep regret. Dr. Buchanan, Phy• sician to the Cholera Hospital of Ballymacarrett district. His death took place on Wednesday morning; and, a may readily be supposed, has excited much sorrow, and occasioned considerable alarm. Dr. Buchanan was on► of the most active of our medical fellow-townsmen, iri endeavouring to ascertain the nature, and check the pro gress of the disease, under which he has himself suffered. When cholera made its appearance in Glasgow he pro ceeded thither to study the disease; and from the period al the bre:acing out of that epidemic in Belfast, his ex ertions were unremitting. During the day, on Tuesday, he felt slightly unwell ; but no decided symptoms of cho lera were manifested until about nine o'clock in the even ing. At that time the disease began to operate in th, most marked manner. He was shortly afterwards attended by Doctors Thompson, Kidley, and Forcade; the last to whom remained with him until he expired. The usuy' remedies were resorted to, with the exception of bleeding. which was dispensed with, according, we believe, to hi. own wish. The applications seemed, however, to produce not the slightest effect. The disease ran through it, various stages with a rapidity and virulence that baffled every tffort to control it ; and at a few minutes befori eight o'clock on Wednesday morning the sufferer expired. Dr. Buchanan was rather of a weak constitution ; and the fatigue which he lately underwent had produced a state of exhaustion which seems to have rendered the physica' powers unequal to contend with the violence of the attack. Dr. Buchanan has left behind him a wife, with a Tamil) of five children ; and we are sorry to add, with, we be lieve, scarcely any provision for their subsistence. NEwAttx:.—This alarming and virulent disease is mak ing daily progress here. On Thursday night the sth, a little gill belonging to Mr. Atkinson, shoemaker, Mill• lane, about four years old, was taken ill (in the same hour, where Smith lodged, whose case we repotted last week) aed in a short time expired ; and on the following morn • ing a little boy, brother to the above, about two years old, was taken with the same symptoms, and in a few hour,. expired ; both were buried the same day. On Friday, Smith's wife was taken, in the same house, and expieyd on Sunday morning, aged 33 years ; she was buried ;h. same day. On Tuesday, a little girl, named Mary Grok'es. daughter of Mrs. Grokes, Mill gate, was seized with th;• dreadful disease, and expired the same day ; she was in terred the following morning; this poor woman has buried her husband and three children in the short space of tlv.- months. On Wednesday, Mrs. Sarah Footit, of Mill lane, was taken violently ill of this disease, and expired at night ; she was the daughter of Mrs. Mowers, of Hyson green.—Bosion Gazette. WISBECH.—On Friday se'nnight our town was much alarmed by the sudden death of a child belonging to Cap tain Swan, of one of the sloops lying in the river : the remains were interred in the evening ; but before that took place, the mother of the child w. is seized with and expired the same evening; and the mate of the same shop was taken in the same way, but being removed to a house provided for the reception of patients, he still lives though in a bad way. Another death took place on Sun day.—lbid. LYNN, JULY 12.—The cholera morbus has again bro ken out in this town. Amongst the victims we regret to name Mrs. Wm. Oxley, wife of Mr. Oxley, of the firm of Oxley, English, and Oxley, merchants. In another family it has been fatal to a melancholy extent—that i,t Mr. Ortnson, shipm alter, who is dead, together with hi• wife anti two daughters, and son's wife. It is a singular coincidence that news has arrived from London of th , decease by the same disease in London of Mrs. Ormso n, his brother's widow, and her son.in-law, Mr. Joseph Maughan, ship master of that port, and second son Mrs. Maughan, of this place. About 60 cases have from the commencement occurred at Lynn. Nearly the same number have occurred in the little village of Grimatone, about five miles from this place. Several other are also affected.—lbid. BOSTOII.-We regret to state that there is no doubt this dreadful malady has at length reached Boston : 0., Tuesday last a man named Yarborough, residing in Lin coln-lane--a densely populated part of the town, was at tacked with the disease. fie lingered until Friday, when he expired. The malady next broke out in quite an op posite quarter, in one of the new houses over Main Ridge bridge, in the parish of Skirbeck. A man named Rih y, who bad been indulging some time in habits of intemper ance, was playing at cards on Saturday evening. Feeling unwell he went to a druggist's and got some medicine, hut at five on Sunday morning last he was attacked with all the symptoms of cholera; his extremities became colt, he vomited much, exhaustion ensued, his face betrayed that species of anxiety manifested in cholera cases, be gradually got worse, and expired yesterday moronic. —lbid. ---- SIR WALTER Scorr.—We are happy to be able to state that Sir WALTER Score enjoys better heahi than is generally supposed. When he stop!) d at the Fushie-bridge, the other day, oa his road to Abbotsford, he immediately recognized the old lady of the house (who is supposed to be the prototype of Meg Dodds), and gay. her a hearty shake of the hand. The old lady has been in raptures ever sinee....Edinburglt Evening Post. SPTRIT OP TIM PUMA JOURNALS. The House lle was last night con out on the notion of Mr. Harvey for " an address to his Nlajesty that he will be graciously pleased to direct the Commissioners appointed to inquire ilto the state and practice of the law, to exa nine into the course of proceedings before the !ienchers and visitors of Lincoln's Inn, Inner ['emple, Middle Temple, and Gray's Inn, upon -.he application of persons seeking to become students thereof, or to be called to the Bar, and to report the evidence thereon, with any special circumstances, to this House." It is known that great injustice to individuals has been committed ))T the refusal of the benchers to call qualified )ersons to the Bar. Sir Francis Burdett men tioned the well-known case of John Horne Tooke. There are cases of oppression subse quent to that of Mr. Tooke. And ever and won the benchers have shown a disposition to narrow as much as possible the terms of admis ston by illiberal rules and regulations. Mr. Cut lar Fergusson noticed the well known reso lution of Lincoln's Inn to exclude all per sons who had been connected with the Press. The Bar are but too apt to think of them ,elves rather than the public. Ministers are, however, disposed to consent to an inquiry, with a view to guard against an im proper use of the power now possessed by the Inns of Court. Lord Althorp, greatly to his honour, consented to the motion, which w.tv mly got rid of by Sir Charles Wetherell's av,ii!- ing himself of the thinness of the House. Sir Charles Wetherell, as usual, defended one abuse by another. " The Benchers (he said) were in f.lle same situation as heads of Colleges, WI( m it would be most improper to compel to recliv,! students ; or Bishops, who ought not to be c m pelled to institute ; or the Colleges of Physic els Ind Surgeons." . With respect to Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, if they had the am : power which the Benchers have, they would be a greater nuisance than they are. Fortunately they cannot prevent patients employing whom they choose to cure them. If there were the same liberty to suitors to employ whom they choose to plead their causes, the Benchers might make what regulations they pleased. The Judges and the Inns of Court sing the same song. If the latter commit injustice, the former Are but too ready to abet it. Etcts are better than the declamation of the Barristers. We have the fact that injustice has several times been committed, and the Judges have countenanced it.—Morning Chronicle. Some recent measures of the German Diet assembled at Frankfort were published in the Times of yesterday, which also presented an ab stract of those melancholy and detestable pro ceedings. Every free Englishman—every man of sense in Europe, aspiring to be free, will pro nounce the series of acts in question to be amongst the most frightful attempts upon human independence and social happiness, recorded in the annals of Europe. In one word, the whale transaction may be described as a " Holy Alli ance" of all despotic Governments throughout the German territory, to crush the very first seeds 'of freedom in every individual State. Under it, no such thing can henceforth exist as an honest effort of enlightened citizens or subjects to obtain any solid improvement of their insti tutions, however barbarous. Under it, no well disposed Prince or liberal Chamber, whether of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hanover, Baden, or Hesse Cassel, can dare to countenance, encou rage, or indulge, the slightest approach to poli tical reformation, or departure from despotic principles, at the peril of provoking an attack by Austrian and Prussian bayonots, for the undisguised purpose of vindicating the inde feasible right of arbitrary Government over the actions, enjoyments, and even thoughts, of men. if disgust do not quite overpower us, we obeli state a few of the points insisted on by these persecutors of the German race. The " Confederation" is assumed to be a legitimate authority, exercising a sway, no less than abso lute, over the reciprocal conduct of Governments and subjects throughout the whole event of Germany. No franchise can be granted, no freedom exercised, no offence forgiven, no writing published within the limits of any given State, save under the cogniz ince and by the consent of the " Federation,"—that is, of an assembly of humble slaves to the will of Austria and Prussia. The arrangements for the re,traint of the Press must be " uniform" throughout the states of the Federation, or, in other words, Prince Metternich prohibits any greater liberty of speech or writing, from the shores of the Baltic to the mountains of Switzerland, than is sufflred to exist at Prague, or Berlin, or Vienna. The " Chambers of the States," in those countries where " Chambers" have been institute:l, are denounced in conjunction with the " abuses of tjie Press," as attacking " the rights of the Confederation ;" and a distinct and unequivocal threat is held out, that if the resolutions of the Diet (dictated of course by Austrian and Prus sian Autocrats) be not implicitly adopted by the internal Governments of the several States, or, in the wild insolence of the official phraseology " incur the risk of being disavowed by them, — then their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia, in their solicitude for the destiny of the States united in the Confede ration, which they do not separate from the care they bestow on their own," and in their anxiety for the social system of Europe, &c., will employ all the means at their disposal —to wit, Grenadiers, Cuirassiers, Hulans, Pandours, and so forth, to enforce the resolutions of the Diet, that is, the resolutions of Metternich and Co., and to put down all attempts and institu tions in any manner at variance with them. Tnen, we are edified by the assurance that, according to a certain act of the Federation, , ‘all the Powers of the State must remain united in the head of the State !" Whence it loll° ,vs as a necessary consequence, that no one act of inde pendent or sovereign power can take place in any individual State of the Federation without a liabi lity to be overhauled, annulled, or punished, at the discretion of an Austrian agent. The grant ing of taxes is no wh ere to be - dependent on the will of the (so called legislative) Assemblies— that is, whatever Austria chooses to ordjin, in the way of squeezing the subjects of the se. veral States of Germany, must be exe cuted, without a murmur, on pain of a visitation from the Croats. There is fur ther, by virtue of this arrocious edict, a com mittee of superintendence, or corps, combining the two-fold attributes of vice-roys and spies, to be appointed by the Prussic-Austrian Diet, for " the purpose of making itself ac quainted with the proceedings V . the Lstates within the Confederated SiateS, ,, to %yawl over reso iuions, and canvass all their proposals and and report upon them to the Diet ! SO, even in those States where freedom ut speech within the Legislative Assemblies forms part of the recognised constitution of the country, and
