SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The feelings excited in the French capital by the monstrous resolUtion of the Diet at Frank fort, are displayed with sufficient energy in the journals of the 16th and 18th inst. The Ac: in question is discussed under several points of' view,—viz., in its relation to Germany, t o Europe, and to Fiance ; and we fully concur with the liberal papers in affirming, that under no one of these aspects can it be looked at other wise than as a proceeding which calls not merely for severe condemnation, but for uncompro-nis ing and resolute resistance. Whilst the Con stitutionnel and other papers regard this out burst of the spirit of " legitimacy," as a direct overthrow of the general constitution of the Germanic body, arid an undisguised precursor to some hostite attempt upon the French revo lution of 1830, the Journal des Debats alone special-pleads upon literal and formal pretences, fbr the sake of absolving the Government from the discharge of duties manifestly entailed upon it by the new position into which Germany, and through it all Europe. has been thrown by this aggression of the great military Powers. The Journal des Debats seems disposed to treat the attack of the Diet upon all the German States, whose independence was assured to them by the acts of the Allied Powers prior to 1820, as a mere police regulation. If Statesmen ought to concern themselves more with substances than phrases, this " police regulation" is no less than a comrlete absorption by Austria and Prussia of the whole of Germany. A distinct assertion ofcon trol over all the most essential rights of sovereignty, —over the right of taxation —the right oflegislation —the right of discussion—the administration of justice, and the liberty of the press, in States whose independence had hitherto been lawfully recognised, amounts in fact to their extinc tion as independent Governments, and invests other Powers, not parties to the crime, with the same real title to resistance and redress, as if Austrian and Prussian armies had taken military possession of every inch of Germany. It is vain to say that any positive and definite increase in the power of one German Sovereign over others, not contemplated by the negotiators of 1814 and 1815, would not confer upon France anti England a right to interpose by di plomacy or by arms. • The " settlement of Europe" was nothing more than a specified dis tibution of territory in some instances, and esta blishment of authority in others. If the territory so assigned to any one State be invaded, or an authority, funning part of any one constitution then framed, be subverted by foreign violence or foreign fraud, a wrong is done to the Govern ments by which Europe was " settled"—to such of them at least as are not sharers in the wrong or have not approved the perpetration of it. The Journal des Debats admits, that if the limits of any one German state be infringed upon, so as to alter the territorial proportions. of the country, a case will arise to call upon even the Government of France to interfere with it. But, gracious Heaven ! is the real usurpation of all the powers of sovereignty throughout all the minor States, of less importance than the ostensible appropriation of' territory annexed to one or more of them ? Are mankind to be insulted by this substitution of words for things? Shall we be told that he who converts forcibly to his own ends all the actual resources of a petty kingdom, or a duchy, whether in the shape of funds or soldiers, is less a plunderer and less a conqueror than he who forcibly takes posses sion of the soil, and affixes to it a name which it never formerly was known by ? We maintain that this late decree of the Confederation—or of Austria and Prussia coercing and . compelling the federation—is an open outrage upon the " settlement of Europe," a dislocation of the balance of power in Europe, a removal of those checks and a destruction of those safe-guards which were provided and insisted on by the repre sentatives of the several Powers assembled between 1814 and 1820, as guarantees against sudden vio lence on the part of' the great military Sovereigns, and that as such it has been an injury inflicted upon France and Great Britain, as parties interested for the independence of the minor States. The ' Jotanal des Debats would fain divest France of the right and duty of interference upon this question, because " it was for England to watch over the independence of the smaller States of Germany, because England was a party to the Congress of Vienna, and is so to the Diet of _Frankfort, in virtue of her kingdom of Ha nover." But France, in the person of [VI. de Talleyrand, was likewise a party to the COE gress of Vienna ; and as for England being so to the Diet, thank God, Hanover is no king dom of ours. After the life-interest of King William shall be at an end, Hanover is the Duke of Cumberland's kingdom, with which Great Britain, we trust, will thenceforth have no concern. We shall not indeed regret to see fulfilled the anticipation of the Journal des Debats in one particular. That paper doubts not that the Parliament now assembled will require explanations from his Majesty's Minis ters, touching the part sustained by Hanover in the late deliberations of the Diet.' It is ob vious that ostensibly the British Ministers are no ways accountable for the acts of the Hanove rian Government, and that as to official expla nations, Lord Grey will have none to offer. But we do believe that no British Minister of Lord Grey's Cabinet will hesitate to pro nounce his entire disavowal of all sympathy with The spirit of those proceedings at Frankfort, or his full disposition to watch over and avert any practical application of them to the undue re straint of independent authorities, or the oppres sion of individual rights among the Germans. If Germany be trampled on as Poland has been, while Great Britain and France lotyk:'oir like unmoved spectators at a disgusting drama, the next act of the piece will not have Germany for its threatre. But the isolated condition of France and England may well avenge mankind for the effeminate cowardice or stupid negli gence wherewith those two nations will have seen successively stormed every tenable outwork of the fortress of European freedom.-7' intes. Yesterday we received Dutch and German papers of recent dates, some extract& from which will be found elsewhere. The new propositions made by the Conference to the King of Holland are alluded to in the Dutch journals, but no de tails are given. There is, however, a private letter from the Hague, in the Handelsblad, which states that the King of Holland persists in refusing to evacuate the city of Antwerp, until the modifications he requires in the 24 Articles be acceded to by Belgium, and confirmed by a treaty between Holland and the Five Powers. The Governments of the different • German States have not been slow in publishing the de spotic decree of the Federal Diet, and in issuing orders to the magistrates and other authorities to enforce its provisions. It is worthy of remark, that the Berlin State Gazette of the 19th, which gives, an account of some proceeding of the States of- Hanover to the 17th, passes over unnoticed the important fact, that the Second Chamber of those States had, on the 14th, pro tested against the decree of the Diet, though its official publication on the same day by the Ha noverian Government is conspicuously an nounced. Movements of troops towards the Rhine are mentioned in several papers, and it is reported that negotiations referable to the situa tion of the south of Germany have been com menced between the Governments of Prussia and Hanover. The Hanau Zeitung states, that in consequence of some disorders at St. Wendel, that town is, for the second time, oc cupied by Prussian troops. Since this was written we have received the address of the Viceroy of Hanover to the Ge neral Assembly of the estates of that kingdom ; in which, with great diplomatic simplicity, the Royal Deputy avoids all allusion to the possibi lity of any opposition to the decree. We shall return to this subject.—Times. The Irish Reform Bill was read a second time in the House of Lords last night. There was no division, but a debate, which, though brief, was more than commonly pithy and characteris tic. The Duke of Wellington seemed to indulge the fancy that the whole constitution of Ireland, as established at the Union,—nay, what is al most incredible, that his own ahilition of the penal laws, and dii,franchisement of the 40s. freeholders of counties, whilst the freemen and freeholders of cities were continued, had been framed for the sole and exclusive purpose of perpetuating the " Protestant interest" in Ire land,—an hallucination, at which Lord Plunket might very well throw up his hands and eyes, exclaiming that it was " statesmanlike loftiness cf vision with a vengeance !" The breadth in deed of the old Tory policy towards Ireland, and we are sorry to say of the Duke of Wel lington's with it, may be measured by their arguments on the Irish Reform Bill, not one of which went for more than a funeral howl over the decayed carcass of " Protestant Ascend ancy." Why will the Duke of Wellington speak ? Times. A declaration made last night by Lord llowick in the House will give great satisfaction to our Colonies. His Lordship had moved a grant of 17,4381. to defray the charges of the Ecclesiastical Establishment in the North Ame rican Colonies. Mr. Hume observed, that the North American Colonies did not wish for one farthing of this grant, which was not for the support of religion, but for the exclusive sup port of the clergy of a small fraction of the people. But he would not, he said, oppose the vote if the grant were only to be for four years. Lord Howick then declared, that as the clergymen died off, or were otherwise pro vided for, their places were not to be filled up. Mr. Hume asked, " Bishops, and all ?" " Aye, said his Lordship, " Bishops and all. The salaries were to be withdrawn from the Ministers of the Established Cnurch. It was resolved that the North American Colonies should pay their own clergymen." This, we have said, is a most important declaration. The people of Great Britain may as well call upon the colonists to pay the clergy of the Church of England and Scotland, as the colonists call upon the people of this country to pay their clergy. But the people wish us to leave to them the pay ment of their own clergy. They know that the more money is taken from us for Civil and Ecclesiastical Establishments, the less chance they have of obtaining good government. The clergy, whom we pay, deem them selves in gratitude bound to do what they can to oppose the improvement of the people. Mini sters have adopted a more manly course. They see that the connection between us and our co lonies must be one of affection ; that we can only hope to retain the colonies by making it for their interest to be connected with us. It is a proper sequel to the Reform Bill. It is well known that the expenditure under the colonies, is not for the benefit of either colonies or mother country, but to give incomes to younger sons and brothers of the aristocracy, who cannot be provided for at home. The nobility and gentry must provide out of their own estates fur their children like other people. Such a declaration, however, could not be made, without producing its effect on the Ultra Tory party. Sir R. In glis asserted, that wherever the flag of England was flying, the Church of England was the established Church of the country. What if the people do not belong to the Church of Eng land ! This, however, roused the national feelings of Mr. Dixon, who said, as a Scotch man, he could not sit still and hear it de clared that wherever the flag of England was flying, the Church of England was the established Church. How absurd to utter such nonsense, as if the colonies conquered by the men and money of an united kingdom could he considered to belong to the religion of one more than the other. With respect to the colonies possessed by England before the union with Scotland, that is another affair; but on every principle of law, the subsequent acquisi tions having been made out of the common stock are common in every respect. The Church of Scotland is as much an established Church as the Church of England; and there is this dif ference between the two, that a fraction only of the English belong to the English Church, whereas Scotland is united in religion, the whole population, with the exception of 50,000 Epis copalians,andaboutloo,oooCatholics,beingPres- byterians, agreeing in creed and discipline, with exceptions unintelligible to strangers. To sub ject the Scotch, the Catholics, and the English Dissenters to an English Church Establishment in the colonies is a piece of injustice that will not be tolerated. The only consequence of ut tering such offensive declarations as those made by Sir Robert Inglis must be to injure the clergy of the English Church in the colonies, where their flocks form a small fraction of the popula tion.—Morning Chronicle. Swift used to complain that he could preach nothing but pamphlets ; but there was much both of wisdom and benevolence in the politics of Swift ; and Ireland, to this day, acknow ledges the debt she owes him with gratitude. Still it was in a tone of critical censure that ..the Dean observed upon his own peculiarity, and we believe that the religious world in general will feel no hesitation in admitting that the peculia rity of . which he accused himself was a fault. But if the preaching of useful pamphlets be justly considered out of place in the pulpit, and in the lips of a Minister of religion, how much more must violent tirades against the Press, which, though liable to abuse, like other useful institutions, is deeply rooted in the affections of the people, as the best protection that has yet been devised against the inroads of power. It cannot serve the cause of religion—it cannot serve the cause of morality, to make the :pulpit a sort of rostrum for the assertion of political dog mas. A Clergyman compromises the dignity of his office when he quits the high ground of mo ral and religious truth, to deal with topics on which his congregation are often better informed than himself, and upon which, whether better informed or not, they will refuse to he dictated to by such a functionary. This we should say , gene rally of all political discussions, whether right or wrong, because they are all inappropriate to the place and to the person. But when, besides being inappropriate, they are false and bad, cal culated,to disseminate error, to discountenance freedom, to promote tyranny, who is there that, with a proper reverence for the Temple of the Most High, will not turn away abashed from the wretched jargon which the very sanctity of the spot only renders more disgusting and intoler able ? We have been led to these reflections by the perusal of a letter from Salisbury, which we have not room to insert, and which describes a sermon preached in the Catheral, before Mr. Justice Taunton, on Sunday last, by the Re verend Mr. Towle, the Sheriff's Chaplain. The Reverend Gentleman took his text from St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, chap. v. verse 13, " For, brethren, ye have been called in liberty ; only use not liberty for an oc casion to the flesh, but by love to serve one another." Upon this text the Sheriff's Chap lain founded a violent tirade against the Press, more adapted to a Tory dinner speech than a Christian discourse. He described the Press as " a terrible power, which had gained a fearful ascendancy over the minds of men. God and man were alike the objects of its impious attacks—truth and falsehood were alike its weapons. It spared neither the fame of the living nor the sacred memory of the dead ; it resembled the least generous of the brute beasts, of the forest that killed not alone for the purposes of food, but also sported with and tore the mangled corpse of the victim which had satiated its hunger." Can we wonder that when such trash is uttered from the pulpit, the popularity of our clergy should be on the decline ? There is a general unqualified charge against the Press, which is just intelligible enough to satisfy every . one of its falsehood. That there are in stances of abuse in the Press of this country we do not deny, but it is just as unfair to exhibit this clumsy caricature as a faithful picture of its general character, as it would be to select the author of it as a fair specimen of the Clergy of England. And yet there are people capable of doing both. As for the figure which concludes the notable paragraph we have quoted, it would be well for the sake of per spicuity that the Rev. orator had named " the least generous of brute beasts," to which, with in finite taste and temper, lie compared the public writers of the day. It may be that our acquaint ance with animal nature is imperfect, but we con fess we are at a loss to determine the species of his brute beast. Even the hyena, we believe, ceases to bite when it has lost the inclination to swallow ; and, as for " tearing the mangled corpse of its victim," the lion, for all his gene rosity and majesty, does-the same, and will con tinue to do so until he arrives at a greater ex pertness in the art of carving than his history has hitherto afforded any reason to hope. But it is not the ferocity of the Press, it is the truth of the Press, that renders it so obnoxious to a cer tain class of politicians, including certain divines and lawyers, who love truth as the Turks love women—to keep it under lock and key. We hope, however, that amongst other reforms now in progress, this absurd and mischievous anti pathy to the great bulwark of our political rights will yield to more correct notions, and that the time is not far distant when men will be ashamed to plead guilty to such doctrines, much more to announce them as of Divine authority.—Morn trig Herald. It will seen from the report of the proceedings in the House of Commons last night, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer expects to be able to bring forward the Budget on Friday next This document, if we may be allowed so to de nominate it, was wont to be looked forward to with great curiosity, as well as sometimes with considerable anxiety ; but delayed as it has been this year, to almost the end of the Session, it can have but little interest for any one, unless, contrary to expectation, Lord Althorp should state what are the intentions of the Government respecting the ensuing year's Budget. Everything in the shape of a reduction or imposition of taxes for the present year that can be stated, is already well known to the public; and the speech of his Lordship, in consequence, can only exhibit a dry detail of the appLcation of the public money to the various purposes for which it has been voted. We would fain hope, however, that his Lordship would set the mind of the public at rest on va rious points—such as the stamp and advertise ment duties—in which an alteration ought to have taken place long ago, and the dubious state of which is most pernicious to all the interests concerned in them. When it is once proposed to aboiish or to impose a tax, the sooner it is done the better; for there is no state of things which paralyzes industry and locks up capital to such an extent as suspense.—Morn. Advertiser. There is one question which we should like to have put to every candidate who shall solicit at the ensuing election the suffrages of a popu lous constituent). Does he come relying upon his personal qualifications, his unblemished cha racter, his distinguished talents, his active in dustry, his ample fortune ? Or is he the se lected champion of one of these rebellious asso ciations which every virtuous and honest citizen, be lie Whig or be he Tory, condemns ? Has the orator of the Council answered for him at the tavern, and the President of the Union intro duced him at the Club ? If he have endured the pollution of this support, if he have listened to the adulation of these allies, though he be bound by nobility of blood to the defence of the Aristocracy of the State, and bribed by the extent of his rent-roll to the pre servation of its property, though you know his intentions to be pure, though you fancy his principles to be firm, be sure that in such a man there is no good hope. He will not stop up the way which he has not been ashamed to tread, nor break the ladder by which he has miserably consented to rise. Lifted by sedition, he will do the work of the seditious ; and the very talents, the very respec tability, which would make an independent Member of Parliament useful and illustrious will make more fearfully mischievous, and brand with deeper shame, the pledged delegate from a treasonable conclave—the interpreter of a rabble's will. It is time that this nui sance should be abated. We cannot foresee what questions of awfulmoment may b e di cusse d in the next Parliament , nor with what re sult their discussion may be attended. B u t, a; all events, let the debate be held at government Ti'er o e . r constitutional Westminster, and let the decision be the de (..isihoonpeJO no longer of for a freedom if we teach our industrious farmer and good Parliament. out intelligent artisan to bring their hopes and fears, their petitions and remonstrances, before a Committee which labours in Leicester-fields, or a Council which thunders from Birmingham. These Associations," we are told, " are the ne cessary fruit of abuses aid misrule. They have started into life for the accomplishment of a par ticular purpose: That purpose accomplished, the law of their nature extinguishes them. They will dissolve themselves so soon as the second and greater charter shall become the law of the land." Well—the Reform Act is passed. Corruption Is destroyed, and patronage makes senators no longer. Freemen point to their charters in vain, and burgage tenants are handed over to the an tiquary. The healing measure is to the surges of popular fury as oil to the disturbed waters; it has silenced murmurs, tranquillized outrage, removed discontent. Do we then see these re sults so proudly, so confidently predicted ? Is the demagogue satisfied with his work ? Has the national militia laid down its arms ? " Those portentous appearances"—we quote the phrase of the Chancellor—" the growth of later times —those figures that stalk abroad, of unknown stature and strange form—unions, and leagues, and mustering of men in myriads " have they ceased from troubling the land ? If we look to the moderation and good sense of the National Unions for a voluntary abdication of their perilous power, we shall saint see, and rue, the dynasty of the Clubs., Many a needy mechanic, in former time, has,been ready to squander on the eloquence of the British Forum the shilling his starving child cried for in vain ; and many a young and titled Liberal, just loose from lectures, and fresh from the study of the Philippics, has been intoxicated by the clamorous applause of his worshippers in the Debating Society. But so soon as the assem blies which once mimicked the proceedings of Parliament begin to usurp its functions, it can not be expected that the power should be spon taneously surrendered, which, we trust, the re viving energy of Ministers, or, if they make no sign, the awakened wisdom . and energy of the country, will speedily annihilate.,--Morn. Post. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTpRIA, ac companied by their suite, and a large party oTipiiity and gentry, visited the exiiihiiion at Somerset House yesterday afternoon, previous to the removal of the pictures. Sir MARTIN SIIEE, the Pres dent; Mr. WILKIE, portrait painter to the KING ; and other Academicians, received their Royal Highnesses, anti attended them through the different looms. The Duke an Duchess of CUMBERLAND carne to town yesterday from Kew. In the evening their Royal High nesses honoured the Marquis of AILESBURE with their company at dinner, at his residence in Grosvenor-squa , e. The Neapolitan and Buenos-Avrean Ministers tran sacted bu , iness yesterday at the office of the Secretary of St.ite for F.,reign Affairs. Earl GREY visired Viscount PAD/EASTON yesterday. Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, has left Vienna on a tour to Florence, and will afterwards return to this country. CHOLERA MORBUS. We regret to announce that Mr. Scott, the brother-in law o , the Earl of Oxford, and his Majesty's Consul at Bourde lux, died yesterday miming, at the house of Lord Dacre, in Chesterfield -street, of a rapid attack of cholera. Mrs. Rolyit Smith, the lt , ly of the eldest son of the Eirl of eirrington, remarkable for her beauty and accom• plishments, was attacked on Sueday by cholera, at twelve o'clock. and died within twelve hours. Mr. Thos. Duncombe, the Member for Hertford, had a violent attack o cholera on Saturday night, but is new quite out of danger. Friday evening, two students of Guy's Hospital went to one of the minor thearres, and after the conclusion of the performances, supped at a tavern, and tt.en walked borne. On arriving at the lodging of one, the over took leave of his friend and went on board an Irish vessel lyin,2 in the river not far from Tooley-street. Next morning, within six or seven hours alter, having occasion to pass by the lodgings of his 'ellow-student, he thought he would call and see him, hut, to his gr., at horror, found that he had died of cholera. In consequence of the prevalence of the cholera morbus at prevent in the metropolis, orders have been given to re move as many troops as possible out of town. Yesterciay rourning, all she married men belongint to the first hatta lion of the First Regiment of Grenadier Guards, at p. e sent quartered in Westminster, were removed with their wives and families to Hornsey, where a number of houses have been engaged for them, and where they will he quar tered for the present. On Friday next a detachment of the Second Regiment of Coldstream Guards, at present stationed in the Kb g's Mews Barracks, Charing Cross, and the barracks in the Bird-cage-walk, will leave town for Warly, in Essex. It is expected that on the Ist of August, the second battalion of the 3d Regiment of Scotch Fusileer Guards, will march from London for Brighton. On Saturday last, the ten companies of the Ist battalion of the Ist Rt•giment of Foot Guards, in Portman•street barracks, collected 101. for the aid of a man's wife named Capstick, who was discharg d from the third battalion 13 years ago, with a pension of is. 2d. per day. He sold his pension last summer to enable him to emigrate to America ; and after receiving half the money in London, he never went, but squandered it away in a few days, and like many more, be has since been supported by either the parishes or his comrades. He was attacked with cholera on Friday night, and died in a few hours. BuRNING or A CHOLERA HOsPITAL.-We regret to have to state that some ignorant and misguided wretches set fire, on Thursday night, to the wooden building erected as a cholera hospital in the neighbourhood of the Black rock. So speedy was the conflagration, that an old wo man, who acted as nurse, and was in the care of the build ing, escaped with the greatest difficulty from the flames.— Dublin Register. We are happy to hear that the Duchess of BEDFORD has quite recovered from the sudden indisposi tion with which she was seized on the evening of Thurs day last at Camden Hill. Her Grace, accompanied by her daughters the Ladies LOUISA and GEORGIANA Rus• SELL, were among the distinguished guests at Earl CRA. YEN'S grand aquatic fete on board his Lordship's yacht Menai, off Greenwich, on Saturday last. Hyde••park on Sunday furnished a convincing proof that the prolonged sitting of Parliament has not the power to keep people in town after the usual season ; a greater scarcity of all kinds of company we never saw, and the few genteel people who ventured there, finding the desert they had entered, evidently returned home to shut up their windows, lest they should be suspected of any thing so vulgar as being in town after the world had left it. Letters from Genoa, of the 12th inst., state that the Board of Health of that city had declared that all vessels from places in England and France infected with cholera should be subjected to a quarantine of 21 days with susceptible goods, and of 14 days without. Vessels from Fmgland and France, as well from the Mediterranean as the ocean, from places not infected with cholera, shall perform 15 days' quarantine if with susceptible goods, and seven if without.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN- SQUARE. Edward Lawrence, a youth between ten and eleven years of age, was placed at the laar, charged with robbing his master under the following circum stances : It appeared from the evidence of police constable Lewis, of the L division, No. 70, that on Saturday afternoon he was on duty in the Blackfriars-road, near the bridge, when he observed the prisoner strutting about with all the foppery of a London dandy smoking a cigar. It struck him as rather singular for one so young to be smoking cigars in the streets, and he looked at him for some time, till at length a person, who had also been ob serving him, told witness that the prisoner had been into a neighbouring tavern taking his wine. This con vinced him that something was wrong,and he stopped him, and not feeling satisfied with the answers he gave him, he took him to the station-house. On searching him, he found a purse containing a sove reign and 17s. The prisoner said that he lived with Mr. John Lander, of the Royal Arcade, and that his master had sent him to Camberwell with the money to deliver to a person there. Mr. Bond, the inspector on duty, sent a message to Mr. Lin der, informing him of the circumstance, when it turned out that he was his shop boy, and had ab sconded, after robbing him of a purse and two so vereigns. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, and was fully Committed for trial. . . Mr. GREGORIE said the constable had done him self great credit by the manner in which he had acted. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday Mr. Marks, a jeweller in Oxford-street, was summoned before Mr. RAWLINSON to answer the complaint of Major-General Huskisson and Colonel Wilson. It appeared the complainants had purchased, in company, at the defendant's shop, an eyeglass each, which the shopmn " warranted" as fine gold, and for which theystiaid 30s. each. Subsequently they were submitted tp the insvection of a refiner, who pronounced thern,cp.bitiverely plated., or cased with fine gold, WhereaS the complainants liad purchased them under the impression that they were solid fine gold. • The defendant contended that they were ticketed as " fine gold mounted ;" and affirmed that had they heal solid they would have been worth more than double the money which the complainants paid for them. The refiner admitted that had they been solid fine gold they would have been worth 70s. each, instead of 30s. The Magistrate said that as a false representation of them had been made by the shopman, whoa,wtr : ranted them to be fine gold, the defendant rnu,t enter into his own reeognizmees to appear at the Sessions, should General I-lu-kisson and his friend think proper to proceed further in the bus►ness. THE " SWELL MOB" AT THE REVlEW.—Yester day morning, as the office was about to close, In spector F-I , on brought before Mr. RAWLINSON Thomas Eats, a young fellow dressed in the very pink of fashion, and who is well known to the police as one of the members of that desperate gang of pickpockets who infest the metropolis, and who are designated the " swell mob," charged with robbing the Countess of St. Germain's, of No 22, Park crescent, Regent's-park, while her Ladyship was looking at the review at Wormwood-scrubs yester day, on foot, of her reticule, containing a purse, with 1/ Bs. and several other valua'ule articles. Thomas Ford, of No. 7, Peel -street, Kensington Gravel-pits, stated that he was a special constable, and that he saw the prisoner make a "grab" at the Countess's rericule,,which was suspended to her arm by the string, hut he failed ingesting the prize. Wit ness took no notice, but narrowly watched him, and afterwards observed him make another "grab" at the ret cute, which was more successful. He then collared the prisoner, and rook him to Mr. William-, a superintendent of the new police, who was stand ing close by at ihe :ime, and who ordered witne.s to deliver him over to a police constable, which he did. Mr. liispecior Feiron stated, that upon searching the prisoner, at the station-house, he found the pro per►y now produced upon h'm. Witness here pro duced the n-ticule, which Ford immediately idenii fird as the same which the prisoner snatched from the Countess. It was embroidered with gold lace, and made of rich purple vi-hret. It contained, be sides the purse that held the money, and which had a gold snap io it, a rich cut glass smeiling-bottle, with a gold top set with rubies, and a cut pearl lo zenge-bott, mounted with gold. The prisoner denied the theft, and said he lived at No. 8, Carlisle-lane, Lambeth. _ _ He was recognized by Keys, an officer of this egablishment, ai a most daring fellow, and Mr. RAWLINSON remanded him until Wednesday next,and desired Mr. Felton to wait upon her Lady ship in the interim, and request her to attend. THAMES POLICE. Sir John Hill, .one of tire Commissioners of his Majesty's Dock-yard at Deptford, lodged a com plaint against Captain Read, the master of the Eclipse Gravesend steamer, for running foul of his boat, and nearly drowning him and his waterman. Sir John all stated that he was coming up the river on his way to town, about five o'clock on Friday evening, and when near St. Katherine's he was overtaken by the Eclipse steamer, proceeding at full speed right in his wake. Finding that he was in danger of being run down, he called out to the people on board several times to keep clear of his boat, which the steamer might have done; but, in stead of doing so, the helm of the steam-vessel was put a-port, which brought his boat right under the paddle-wheel of the steamer, and the boat was all but swamped, and the water splashed over him, and wet him very much. He jumped on board the steamer as quickly as possible, and found the master on the paddle-box, who could give no satisfactory excuse for his conduct. Sir John declared he never witnessed such reckless behaviour in his life, and that but for the most skilful exertions of the water man all in the boat would have been drowned. Mr. BRODERIP immediately granted his warrant against Captain Read for the assault on Sir John Hill. WHITECHAPEL HAY NI A RKET.—JuIy 21. lay 55:. Oct. to 955. Od. I 63: Od. to 1355.

Yesterday a young woman, of respectable appear ance, and exceedingly depressed in her spirits, was brought to this office from King's Cross station house, charged by police constable No. 151, E. di vision, under the following circumstances : The constable, on Sunday night last, was in the New•road, St. Pancras, when he saw the prisoner lurking about and occasionally accosting gentlemen, who seemed annoyed by her importunities. Wit ness ordered her to desist and go home. She re plied, " that it was no good for her to go home, as she had no money ;" and he took her into custody. Mr. LAING asked her what she had to say in her defence ? Prisoner—l cannot deny the statement of the constable—l had no m one y, an d was endea vouring to get some. Mr. LAING—Wh a t are you ? P r i soner —l am sorry to say th a t I am l ea di ng a lif e w hi c h i s repug n int to my fe e li ngs , b ut I um d r i ven to it through necessity.—( She cried excessively.) Mr. LAING—You have no right to stop gentle men in the street. Prisoner—l am aware of that, your Worship, and am sorry for having done so. Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live ? Prisoner—ln Brighton -street, St. Pancras. Mr. LAING—Have you been long on the town ? Prisoner—During the last eight months, your Worship (crying bitterly.) I can assure your Worship that I am utterly disgusted with the life riessidhieng? at Prisoner—H eAberyst wiLh i: il l: I am forced to lead, and'would do anything else in preference. Mr. LAING—Have you no friends ? Prisoner— I have a father, Sir, but no friends. g a , re w s h o y d n i o sg t us a t p e p d ly wi t t o h your your 11 :;i : e n A lvas n i tr iee e rns il .t L L nAl i o l d G Ge - - ma nufacturer, ol W rf hlyTorieun Wan r R korES OF LEATHER.

Prisoner—(with a heavy sigh)—l am sure that he would not look upon me, your Worship. Mr. LASNG-Why so? Prisoner—Because I have excited his displeasure, so much that I would be afraid and ashamed to make an application to him. Mr. LAING.-Still he might forgive. What was your offence ? The prisoner here sobbed and was so convulsed with grief that she could scarcely speak; she said, " I fell in love with a young man who resided next door to my father, and we agreed to be married. My father's consent was solicited, but he refused to grint it, and confined me. I ultimately- gained my liberty, arid eloped with the young man. We came to London, and were married by licence at St. Margaret's church, Westminster. Unfortunately, your Worship, he died in two months after our union; I then procured work at my needle for four months, but being thrown out of employment, I re •orred to prostitution to obtain a livelihood." Mr. LAING inquired her name, and whether it was her real desire to go back to her father ?—The prisoner replied that her name was Eleanor Hunt, and it would be the happiest day of her life if she could obtain the forgiveness of her father, and she would feel grateful to any one who would intercede in her behalf. 111 r. LAING said, that she was far superior to the generality of those who were charged with being disorderly, and he should certainly exert himself to send her back to her father. Prisoner—l shall feel extremely grateful, your Worship. Mr. LAING gave directions not to lock her up with the other prisoners, but to allow her a seat in the outer office until the parish officers of St. Pan cras could be consulted, and she was consequently dismissed on the complaint of the policeman.
