SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Tory party in England has long been the bulwark of arbitrary government throughout Europe. When the Duke of Wellington declared against the Iteform principle, he made war as much for the Hely Alliance as for the English oligarchy. His Grace understood his own position in every thing but its weakness. He felt that he sat upon an isthmus connecting the dominion of the foreign bayonet with that of rotten boroughs; hut he could not calculate the force of that great national torrent which came to sweep every mound and intrench ment from about him, and which enabled Lord Grey completely to isolate the cause of despotism on the continent from that of corruption here. There was not, however, a Court minion amongst ourselves who did not, until the very last hour, encourage the creatures of the Holy Alliance with assurances that the borough system wag too deeply rooted in the soil to be disturbed, and would, in the end, prove victorious over all its enemies. The several stages of the struggle were watched with the eager ness of a condemned wretch, whose last hope is that a reprieve will yet snatch him from the gallows. First, the nation was to relax in its zeal; next, the King was to dismiss his Minis ters; again, the House of Lords was to set King and people at defiance ; last of all, the mob was to be let loose, the troops to sabre them, and so a re action might follow. Alas, for our Conservatives, it was in vain ! Even after the Reform Bills had passed, a change of Ministers was still upon the cards. With a Tory Executive Government, cried the oligarchs at home,we will get the returns to work in our favour. With a Wellington Government, said the sabreurs abroad, we shall make war upon France, and Belgium, and Don Pedro ; and, hur rah for divine right, Frederick-William, Nicholas, and Francis, will he " themselves again." Nor were such expectations very unreasonable, had the preliminary condition been fulfilled, and a Welling ton Ministry once more installed in office. The fo reigners, indeed, have all along been deluding them selves with the certainty of such a consummation ; and there is no doubt that the Duke of Wellington, who had pronounced the French revolution to be a " grievous calamity," the Belgic deliverance to have been an unjustifiable " revolt" and the tyrant of Portugal a Prince whom he, the Duke of Wel lington, had been on the point of acknowledging rot lawful King of that much-injured country, would, as natural consequences of his return to power, have gratified the virtuous and benevolent longings of hit. allies, and have striven with might and main to abate the treble nuisance of constitutional govern ment in France and in Portugal, and of national in dependence in Belgium. The futility of such hopes, as we said on Monday, there is reason to he lieve has been cleatly established through Lord Durham's able and temperate representations of the state of England to the military Courts. Its Lordship made it plain, that whatever might or hereafter may be the personal composition of any English Ministry, it is morally impossible that its principles should be otherwise than in accordance with ;he public feeling, expressed through a Parlia ment which no longer meets to register the edicts of the oligarchy. The effect of this better under standing of the subject upon the conduct to be ob served towards Belgium has been already hinted at. Russia and Prussia are now aware that the course of British policy is no longer likt-ly to be ex posed to fluctuations produced by anti-popular in fluence; and they appear to have abandoned the hope of further embarrassing, by evasion or delay. the pacific adjustment of this critical and alarming quarrel.—Times. Mr. Alexander Baring, like most men who from the straight road, finds himself more and more entangled in his progress. Finding no opening for himself in any other than an agricultural county, he at once determined to set a good face on it, and to present himself before the farmers as an enemy of free trade, and a staunch friend of the agriculturist in the sense in which too many of them understand the word. The effrontery of the thing was no doubt surFrising; but a General often gains an advantage precis ly because it is against all probabilTty that he should seek it, and no preparation is made in the quarter attacked; and as it was about as probable that Bill Soames should seek to pass himself off as a saint, as that Mr. Alexander Baring should seek to pass himself off as an advocate of agricultural protection, had the election been immediate, it is ten to one but he would have stolen a march on his opponents, and humbugged the farmers. Fortunately, however, sufficient time has been afforded to admit of an inquiry into the pre vious life of Mr. Alexander Baring ; and such has been the result of that inquiry, that we should deem it a hazardous speculation for the 11lillionaii•e to en counter personally an assembly of farmers. It has been shown that Mr. Alexander Baring has, of all the political characters of our time, been the most opposed to the farmers as a body ; that in his op oosition, he did not content himself with argument, but was absolutely foul-mouthed. In fact, ma,e rials in abundance for a comedy, in which farmers should be held lip to ridicule, might be found in Mr. Alexander Baring's speeches delivered in the House of Commons. It gives us peat satisfaction to see the miserable plight in which this rich arro gant man ap d ears. The head of this man is either originally of a peculiar construction, or it has been turned by his worldly success. His fate will be a warning to others, that a little respect is due to th, world, and that because a man is rich, he is not entitled, on that account, to sport withal! principles to take up and abandon all opinions, and to ridicule the men one do whom he affects to patronize the next. —Morning Chronicle. Next to the Dutch question, the position and pro gress of events in Spain appears, of all other foreign concerns, to excite the greatest share of interest, and merit the most attention. That ancient and once all-important kingdom has, within the last two months, been the theatre of proceedings which ap pear likely, perhaps, to influence its future fortune , far all time to come, and to restore it to that place amongst nations which it had already all but lost.' Our readers are aware, from the frequent letters of our cot respondent at Madrid, and our own allusion to them, of the great revolution which was effected during the King's illness in the Councils of Spain, and of the prospects which these changes have since appeared to hold out of better days to th, Spanish Constitutionalists, and every friend to Spanish liberty throughout the world We have now the satisfaction of stating that every recent at rival tends to strengthen the hopes held out, ate even—but we must not be too sanguine—to jusify the presumption that the very best views of the Spanish Liberals will, in the long run, be realis, d. It will be seen that the young Queen continues ti pursue those measures which she originated, ano with uncommon spirit prosecuted, and that new ap pointments are still being made, which increase the preponderance of the old party of the Cortes. The King and she returned to Madrid, for the first tim, since his illness, upon the 18th instant, when then were received with all the enthusiasm a people, flushed with the hope of political ameliorations, and grateful for the favourable turn which things had taken, could display. His Majesty, in celebration of the event, and the birth-day of his daughtei, ordered the theatres to be re-opened, which had been closed since the 15th of September, and all was unalloyed joy and universal satisfaction. The Queen with great tact, as well as generosity, whilst she wa. making new friends, appears to have been anxious to conciliate old, and even avowed, enemies, for liberal pensions have beet reserved for the greater part of the displaced party of the Carlists. .Many functionaries are now in employment who actually held office under the Cortes, and some of them were charged under that regime with trusts of the greatest responsibility. The whole influence of Government is, in fact, understood now to reside in the hands of a fraction of the Constitutionalists of 1823—a small and moderate portion, but whose views are good, and their notions of constitutional freedom sound, though temperate. This party is called the anilloros, or members of the Society of " the Ring ;" and du ring the reign of the Cortes were regarded as the juste milieu of Spanish revolutionists. Their theo ries are entirely English, and their notions of a House of Lords, as well as the Cortes, were often justified with vigour at the time in question, and have been since cherished with unvarying attach ment throughout all their reverses. Their first ad vice to the Queen, it is said, will be to remove every trace of the detestable inquisition, and the next to restore order and credit in the finances of the country. The Queen-Regent has already shown herself favourable to something like a free Press, and the Cortes hot estamentos, or States-General of the kingdom, are speedily to be convened, to advise upon the best steps to be taken under present circumstan ces, and prepare the ground-work of of a Charter. The Carlist party is thought to be discomfited, but far from di-couraged from making fresh attempts upon the throne and the liberties of the country. Don Carlos himsflf has been sent upon his travek, but his partisans are still numerous, and sufficiently audacious, if we may judge from the offensive songs which were sung in Madrid upon the very day of the King and Queen's entering the capital. The army, however, has declared for the King's daugh ter, anti a plan is about to he put into operation, which, it was hoped, would neutralise the well known hostility of the Royalist volunteers. As rr gards Portugal, the effect of the late change will operate most happily, for not only is all intension of interference for Don Miguel abandoned, but General Sarsfield who commanded at Salamanca, has been recalled, and the little army of observation itself, never stronger than 9,000 men, was thought to be .upon the point of being disbanded. In more re spects than one, then, the Ministerial revolution has been as fortunate as it was unexpected. A con temporary states that Don Pedro was about to take advantage of his good-luck, by sending an agent itn mediately to Madrid, to propitiate the parties in power there, and no doubt he could do nothing better. We hope he will carry this intention into execution.— Morning Herald. Those who infer that Prussia, Austria, and Russia will permit Holland to he overrun or e,seti tially enfeebled, because Holland has rejected the terms which they concurred in urging her to ac cept, forget the overruling motive to this con currence. It was Bo doubt to keep the French out of Belgium, and it is obvious that the moment the French enter Belgium, and make that country the basis of military operations against Holland, the position of Prussia, Austria, and Russia is altogether changed ; the law of expediency adopts ,t new language; unity of purpose between them and France exists no longer; co-operation is superseded by mutual jealousy, distrust, and dislike; and, with respect to Holland, it is also obvious that from the same moment the natural alliance between her and her nothere neighbours is revived in more than its original force. We believe confidently that the aggression now about to he perpetrated upon Holland will lead to a general European war, and we sincerely believe also that the permanent and most important in terests of Great Britain would not be promoted, but essentially injured, by the success of that party to the contest with which the Government of this country has thought proper for the moment to con nect it. This connection we know can be but tem porary. We at once and frankly say, therefore, that we shall not sympathise in any triumph that may he achieved during its continuance; and in u termg this sentiment we feel assured that we do but re-echo the voice of the great majority of our countrymen. The war in which we are about ro engage is no English war. It has no English ob ject. It is a French war, and its objects are excluivel' French. And highly as the nation honours the laurels won by our brave soldiers and sailors in fighting the battles of their country, it will not desire to see them increased in fighting the battles of France. The navy of England can acquire no accession of glory by the utmost success of a piratical expedition, nor with the successors of the heroes of the Peninsula and Waterloo either obliterate or rival the splendid achievements which those names recal by filling the place of subordinates and auxiliaries in the array of revolutionary power.—Morning Post. A meeting of the Clergy of the archdiocese of Canterbury has, we bear, been called for to-day, at the National School-room in that city, to consider the propriety of addressing the Archbi4hop on the present circumstances of the Church. The meeting is convened by Archdeacon CROFT. Our botanical friends will be glad to learn that the seeds of a new and splendid Hibiscus, believed to be nondescript, have been received by the last packet from Jamaica. It is a native of the Island of Cuba, bears -plendid bright crimson flowers, and was sent from that island in August last by Dr. CHAMBERLAINE to Dr. BANCROFT, of Jamaica, from whom the present supply was received. It has been provisionally named after this latter gentleman Hibicus Bancroflii. A MISADVENTURE.—" Come awa' man, she'll no come out the night." This was uttered a few evenings ago by a sweep, standing in front of one of the genteel houses in Love-street, to some person within the inclosure, and in an Irish whisper, loud enough to be heard b ) a passenger who passed the spot. The passenger did not think, by the appearance of the sweep, that he was a likely person for any she to come out to, so he concealed himself to watck what was going on. After several ar ticles of washed clothing had been handed out, there was one parcel that seemed rather large for the width of the railing. In forcing it through, it cried quack, quack, and a nice fat duck slipped into the sweep's bag. The passenger then rushed out and seized the two rogues, but being unaided to surround them, one trade his escape. After much struggling, he succeeded in delivering the other over into the hands of the police. Evidence was clear, and the man of soot was sent off for sixty days to Bride well. On Monday the superintendent of police pounced on a fellow that he had seen in the sweep's company on the , lay of the robbery. As expected, he proved the assistant, and was next day sent off to share the fate of his confe derate,—Paisley Advertiser. SEDUCTION AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Elephant and Castle, St. Pancras r•o id, on the body of EMMA Goon, aged 19. Mrs. CHARLES GROON, of 5, Cuarles-street, Hampstead, said ,hat the deceased was her servant, and on Saturday last .he was taken ill. She gave her some medicine which re. !ieved her; she then, from some suspicions she had, ac .•.used her of incontinence. She at first asserted her in qicence, but finally confessed that she had been seduced. Witness mentioned a young man of the name of GRA— HA3s, who resided in the house. She replied, "hew is innocent, and that it was one who ought to have known better ; he was a married man." After the confession, she was very much excited, and in much agony of feel og, exclaimed, " Oh, my pour mother and father, I can never look you in the face again, I must go and hide my from the world." She continued in a low and in. •onsolable state till Sunday afternoon, when she secretly eft the house, and was not beard of till found drowned in lie Regent's Canal. Verdict—Temporary Insanity, HARVEY THE CONVICT.—Our readers will recollect that some time ago paragraph went the round .if the papers, stating that WILLIAM HARVEY, who, for a crime of a most infamous description, received sentence of transportation for life at our last circuit court, had escaped from the huntl by petsonating another convict of the smile tiame, for whom a respit , had been received ; and that after his liberation he forged the signature of Lord MEL- BourtnE to a letter reflecting in no measured terms on the verdict of the Jury. Few would have expected to find in a man, expert enough to elude the vigilance of the law, such shallowness as to court investigation into his else by rendering public his escape. or was it so. He actually believed he had got a reprieve, and was under a much more fatal mistake, in believing himself free, than we of the press iu representing his case. It appears that the original mistake lay with the captain of the vessel in which he was about to embark, who received a commutation of Iris sentence t o seven years ' transpor t at i on , in ans w e r to petitions forwarded by his friends to Lord MELBOURNE, and, without proper examination, liberated him, believing it to be a respite. The error was not detected till HAR VEY, having returned to Beith, and, considering himself an injured man, forged the letter alluded to, in order once more to establish his chatacter ; but his knavery proved his snare. An investigation of the mysterious circum stances took place, the error was discovered, and be was again escorted to his old quarters to fulfil his septennial engagement.--Ayr Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. George . May, the son of Mr. May, the ink ma nufacturer, was charged before the Loan Mal - oa, by Mr. Rolfe, the master of Coleman-street Infant School, under the following circumstances : Mr. Rolfe stated that the defendant had seduced his daughter, a girl only fifteen years and three months old, taken her away from the comfortable situation which she held of assistant in a respectable school, and ruined her prospects in life for ever, and that he aggravated the cffence by committing a most furious assault upon her father. The complainant here appeared to be greatly affected ; and Mr. May begged that those who heard the charge would not allow their sympathies to be taken hold of un- til they should hear both sides of the question. Mr. Rolfe said that the defendant bad taken his daughter to a lodging, where he had detained her four days and four nights. Having heard that the defendant intended to go out of town on the preceding night, he determined to ex postulate with, and endeavour to prevail upon him to make reparation for the dreadful injury he had inflicted. The de'endant, upon being addressed by him, instead of showing the least compunction, laughed at the accusation, and acknowledged his guilt. Mr. Hobler told the complainant that, unfortunately, a Magi•trate had no power in case of the kind, and begged that he would confine himself to the charge of assault. The complainant—l said to him, "What a pretty fellow you are to treat me in this way !" Upon which he pushed me. I then pushed him, and he struck me with the greatest violence. As I would not, under any circumstance, have a black eye, I put my hand to defend my face, and did not return the blow ; but I took hold of him and held him fast, and called the watch, who soon came to my assistance. A friend of Mr. May said that the complainant had confessed that he had struck the first blow. The LORD MAYOR—If the defendant had seduced the complainant's daughter, a question which I am not com petent to try, no one could wonder or regret if the former had come off with a broken head. The complainant—He has taken her, as he calls it, under his protection, and blasted her hopes, and her fa mily's hopes, for ever ; and, not content with that, he has laughed at me, and basely attacked me in my distressed condition. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Jay, what have you to say to this charge of assault ? Defendant—l have to say, my Lord, that the charge of seduction is a vile conspiracy against me. Ino more se duced the girl than any other person here seduet d her. I had no desire to have any communication with her, but she scaled my father's waPs, and actually wanted to be siege my bed-room. Although she is young, she has had her education at Cams.ridge, and her father knows that I have had no band in her ruin. The complainant shook his bead, but said nothing. The drieridant—As to the assault, I most solemnly as sure your Lordship, that when he met the he struck with great violence, and it was fur the purpose of bringing this trumped-up story of seduction bet ore your Lordship that he began the conflict. It is I, my Lord, that have reason to he apprehensive of violence from him. The complainant appeared to be by tar the more power ful man of the two, and many persons were rather sur prised at the " bad fight" which the complainant said he had made. A brotl er of the defendant—l assure you, my Lord, th•it Miss Rulfe was no more the victim of my brother's acts 'ban she was of mine. li-fore my brother saw her, she had been seduced many and many a time. Although she is so young, any one would take her for 18 or 19 This matter has been got up without the sligkest fowl d a on. The LORD MAYOR asked whether any one had seen the complainant sti Ike the first blow, and nobody having an swered, his Loidship said that the defendant must find bail to answer the complaint at the S-ssions. The defendant's brother—lf a girl scales the walls of a man's house, what is he to do? If she scales my father's wails again I'll either shoot her, or set the dog at her. The complainant was silent 'luring this conversation. The defendant—He has acknowledged that he was the aggressor, and really I am the person who ought to be afraid. I know that he will strike me again ; and I dare say he will repeat that I am the assailant. The LORD MAYOR—If he strikes you he must he re sponsible, for whatever may be the injury you may have inflicted be is not warranted in taking the law into his own bands. You must find bail. _ _ Amongst the papers which were banded in to his Lord ship on the subject was a letter from the complainant's daughter, stating that she was not disposed to return home, in consequence of having received a blow from her father. The defendant immediately procured bail. A female pauper, in a very advanced state of pregnancy, was brought before the Lord Mayor on a most extraordi nary occasion. One of the overseers of St. Botolph, Aldgate, stated that the pauper had been for seven years chargeable to the parish, along with her husband and an increasing family. Although treated with great kindness she was excessively riotous in the workhouse, and was in the habit of convey ing to the lying-in ward quantities of gin, whenever she could collect the means of purchasing it. The introduc tion of such a beverage was of course not calculated to al lay any inclination among the inmates to quarrel, and few disputes ended in mere words On the preceding evening a great disturbance was heard in the lying-in ward, and the first object which presented itself upon the entrance of the person appointed to superintend was the defendant, with her cap off, her hair about her neck, and the sleeves of her gown tucked up, and standing opposite to another woman, who was also in an advanced state of pregnancy, in a boxing attitude. " Come on," said she, " and I'll give it you—l'll whop you !"—(Laughter.) The officer declared that it was quite frightful to see two women, in such a condition, with their fists clinched and ready to do each other the most fatal mischief. He be lieved that they were each of them within a few days of their lime. _ The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean to say they bad been fighting?—The officer said that was really the case. As the defendant was, no doubt, the aggressor, it was thoue,ht fit to remove her trom the ward, there being no other way of securing the other women from imminent danger. She, however, swore that she would go no where but to the Compter, and was accordingly conveyed thither, as there was an hospital in that pt iron, where aid might be given to her in the event of an accident. The defendant slid, in a voice very much out of repair, from constant devotion to the gin bottle, that the fault was not hers. She was not, she said, stripped to fight, but to go to bed, when she was challenged by another woman to spar a little before they went to sleep, and she had no idea of having any thing but a little wholesome exercise. The LORD .MAYOR told the defendant tint, if Bhe did not happen to be in a condition which entitled her to the most indulgent treatment, he would certainly send her to the tread-mill, where ehe would have plenty of exercise every day to make her sleep dt night. His LurdMhip then, having received her promise not to disturb the peace of the workhouse, recommended her to the protection of the offi cers, who sent her back in a coach. GUILDHALL. Yesterday William Tate, late a waiter, and a person named Christie, were charged on suspicion of having defrauded various tradesmen. Mrs. Abel Frenci-i, kid glove manufacturer, of St. John-street-road, said that Christie, on Saturday morning, called on her, and having given his card " Christie and Co., warehousemen, 60, Aldermanbury," desired that some samples of gloves might he sent to him to show to a geo. tleman from Hastings. Five dozen and a half were sent, and on her son going a second time to learn whether they were approved ot, the door was closed, and several trades men were waiting outside. Christian, or as he called himself, Christie, was appre hended at a public-house, and on him were frond memo randa of different tratles,en, and delivery notes. The prisoners were remanded to Thursday. BOW.STREET. BEGGING LETTERS•-John IVchid, who stands charged with having committed various frauds, by ►ne,ns of beg ging letters, was yesterday again brought up, and, in the absence of direct evidence, discharged.
