Edinburgh, June 5, 1832. t t 4:N A 4 1 4' ktrAtt,:2; g:44, e LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1832. We are happy to hear that a brave and dis tinguished Officer in the British service has volunteered in the Portuguese Constitutional cause, and offered to provide 3,000 men, on conditions to which it is believed the Marquis of PALMELLA will agree. Letters from Brussels, dated Wednesday, state that the last communications from the Confer ence were favourable. They announced that the Dutch Minister here had expressed, in the name of the King of HOLLAND, a willingness to make some important concessions ; and that the Belgian Minister, M. VAN DE WEYER, ap peared also anxious to bring the affair to a con clusion on terms which, without compromising the honour of LEOPOLD or the interests of Belgium, would be acceptable to the King of HOLLAND. The statement in a French Paper, of a private negotiation between LEOPOLD and the Dutch Sovereign, is, utterly unfounded. There is not the slightest truth, we understand, in the report of Prince METTERNICH having been at Brussels incognito on his way to this country. At the time when he was said to have been at Brussels, he must, according to the ac counts received at the Foreign-office, have been 14 Vienna. We understand, from a positive source, that the French Government regard the infamous protocol of the Frankfort Diet as a dead letter ; and a communication from Paris, in a Tory Morning Paper, confirms the statement, by .ad nutting that resistance is manifesting itself on many points. Whatever the result may be, how ever, the spirit of the deed remains unchanged, and the world will know what to think of those crowned ruffians who thought to subjugate hu man intellect, as well as human liberty, to their will. If the inhabitants of Germany will but take warning by the calamitou s issue of impetuous attempts at emancipation in other States, and follow the example of the people of this coun try, as exhibited in their steady and bloodless struggle for Reform, they will ere long be en abled to read their rulers a lesson on the folly of efforts to fetter the human mind, and to bring mankind in the 19th century to what it was in th e dark ages, when Kings and Emperors go verned a blind multitude by the rod of pretended divine right. As they desire liberty, so will they avoid impetuosity. It is well to have the roar of the lion, but it is still better to have the ele phant's cautious tread. What Germany is now, England was a few years ago. There is not more despotism in the Emperor of AUSTRIA than there was in GEORGE the Fourth ; the only difference is that the one is a despot above his Ministers—the other was a despot acting with and through, what are called, the responsible officers of the Crown. Let the resistance, therefore, be what that of the Re formers has been here, and the Germans will be sure to succeed. Slight concessions might per haps protract the day of regeneration, but the despots of the continent, fortunately for the cause of freedom, have no idea rf making concessions at all. If two years ago the Duke of WEL LINGTON had sacrificed a few rotten boroughs, and thrown open the franchise to a few large towns, Reform, as a broad principle, would have been thrown back for fifty years ; but the Duke of WELLINGTON was a disciple of the MET TERNICH school, and thought to rule by the bayonet and the sword, without the slightest concession to the spirit of the age. The master is not less rigid than the pupil, and the result will, we are confident, be in both instances the same—Reason will triumph, and Germany will is be free. An express was received this morning from Paris, bringing the papers of Thursday, and the Messager des Chambres, dated Friday. They are unusually barren of news, and principally filled with comments on the anal or tempo rary settlement of the Belgian question. The non-reception which the Duke CHARLES of Brunswick met with from LOUIS-PHILIPPE, when he solicited an interview at Neuilly, was the subject of much conversation. The exiled Prince positively declared that he had nothing to do with political intrigues, or any intention of disturbing the tranquillity of Brunswick, and consequently doubted if, in point of law, King LOUIS-PHILIPPE had the power of ex pelling him from France, without his being first convicted of some offence, either against the Government of his MAJESTY, or that of his brother, the reigning Duke of BRUNSWICK.— The orders of the Minister are peremptory, and notice has been given him that he must quit the territory within a few days for Switzerland, or any other part he may think proper to select.— The news from the south of France is more favourable, tranquillity having been re stored at Montpellier and Marseilles. The Duchess of BERRI, however, keeps her position in the west, and openly carries on her intrigues against the Government, which remains most inactive and culpable in not putting a termina tion to these annoyances. The meeting of the Chambers is decidedly fixed for the 15th of next month. A list of new Peers is being made out, and is expected to appear in the Moniteur a short time previously. Cabinet Councils take place more frequently than ever, and several private audiences have been granted to the Charge des Affaires of Russia by the KING. The mission of Lord DURHAM to the Au tocrat of RUSSIA, notwithstanding the pretended friendly reception of the EMPEROR, is expected at Paris to be far from turning out satisfactory to the expectations of Earl GREY, as the Head of the Holy Alliance appears determined to blot out the very name of Poland from the map of Europe. Most important intelligence, it was reported, had been received by express by the Marquis de LOULE, now on a special mission from Don PEDRO, at Paris, from the Marquis de PAL MELLA, announcing that the British Govern ment has at last agreed to acknowledge Queen Donna MARIA in her rights as legitimate Queen of Portugal and the Algarves; and that a similar recognition on the part of the French Government may be expected to appear officially in a few days, thereby setting at rest the question of right to the Portuguese throne. Tile latest intelligence received at Paris from Oporto is up to the night of the 26th ult., at which time Don PEDRO was strongly fortified and entrenched in the environs of the city ; the troops in excellent health and spirits. The army of the Usurper had not made its appearance near Oporto. The following are extracts from Germa n Pa. pers received this morning:— VIENNA, AUG 25.—His Imperial Highness, the Arch- Duke Rainer, Viceroy of Lombardy and Venice, will come for some time with his family to Vienna, where the Arch duke Palatine is also expected. The post from Suabia brings no good news for the Porte. Great agitation is said to prevail at Constantinople since the public has be come acquainted with the retrograde movements of Hussein Paella. Fears were entertained fir the safety of the capi tal, and the Government is stated to have called in troops in all haste to maintain tranquillity. It was reported that Hussein Pacha would be recalled from the army, and the command give to Redschid Pacha. All these accounts, however, are founded on commercial letters only. Our funds are stationary. Men of business are in general of opinion that peace will be maintained, and this is probably the reason that nn great fluctuations take place in the price of stocks. The affairs of Belgium are drawing to wards their final conclusion ; the situation of Italy is such as to allay apprehensions; and the accounts from Germany are most favourable tor the maintenance of public tran quillity. WuazunaG, Auc. 26.—Our journal communicates the following rescript of the Minister of the Interior:— " His Majesty the King (of Bavaria) has received the address of the Magistrates and Deputies of the Communes of the city of Wurzburg, in which they express the asto nishment of the citizens, and their joy, at the return of his Majesty and his august family to the circle of the Lower Maine. His Majesty has always been aware that by far the greater part of the citizens of Wurzburg still retains its old faithful attachment. His Majesty heartily thank, all those well-disposed citizens for this new expression of their sentiments. His Majesty, however, cannot conceal his regret at the manifold proofs of bad sentiments and dtinerous intrigues in Wurzhurg, and must, therefore, wish that the more the evil-minded endeavour to corrupt the good spirit of the majority of the inhabitants, and to sully the ancient and well-earned re t tilatioris of the city, the more effectually and openly the well-disposed may counteract those endeavours, defend the Constitution against every attack of the designing, and, at the same time, manfully aid in unmasking them, and thereby avert every danger that may threaten order :Ind tranquillity. The President of the Royal Govern went of the Lower Maine wiil make this his Majesty's answer known to the Magistrates and Deputies of the Communes. " By his Mujesty's command, " Baron V. ZU RHEIN. Munich, August 8, 1832." Allgemeine Zeitung, Sept. 1. CRACOW, AUG. 23.—The Senate has issued the foi lowing notice :-- " Conformably with a note of the Counsellor of State Zatzecki, Resident and Consul-General of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias and King of Poland, of the 17th instant, the Senate hereby informs the public, that agreeably to the will of his Imperial Majesty, his High nees F.eld Marshal Prince Nekewitsch, of Warsaw, has fixed the 19th October this year as the latest date for the return of the former Polish Officers from Austria." SWITZERLAND, AUG. 23.—The Government, has or dered Father Alexander, on the Wesemlein, near Lucerne, to quit the canton, on account of a discourse which he held on the 29th of July, on the false prophets, and this without calling on hies to show his discourse, or Riving him an opportunity to defend himself. Together with M. de Chateaubriand, there were at Lu cerne (was it by accident?) the Duke d'Escars, Prince Laval Montmorency, the Duke of Crillon, &c. It did not escap? notice, that the French Ambassador paid the first visit to 11L de Chateaubriand. Wnitzunito, Auc. 30.—The magistrates of this city have offered a reward of 100 dollars for the discovery of the author, printer and publisher, or the authors, &c. if more than one, of the seditious pamphlets that have been distributed here..—Franhfort Papers, Sept. 2. It is impossible for even the sternest and most uncompromising Reformer not to heave a sigh of regret, not to feel a keen twinge of tender pity, for the approaching extinction of the Orange party in Ireland. A more meek, forgiving, Christian-like set of men, more chary of the in terests of their fellow countrymen, more replete with the finest and truest human sympathies, than this same party, never vet graced the annals of faction. We have always admired them, but our admiration (we hope we are not blasphemous in saying so) is now heightened to absolute ido latry. For what can be more calculated to extort public reverence, than the following Excommunication, which was read, amidst unbounded applause, at a late Election Meeting of the Dublin Guild of Mer chants. It would do honour to the genius of ATIIANASIUS, that dove-like Saint whose creed is such a credit to Christianity. " Ac cursed be that man professing the Protestant faith, and be he hated by his fellows, who, en titled to vote at the next election, does not serve his notice for registration before the 18th day of the present month ! May his home become hateful, and his country be to him a desert ! May he be despised by his wife and children, repudiated by his friends and family, contemned by his acquaintances, trampled, trodden upon, and ground to very powder by his enemies ! May the spark of liberty be extinguished in his bosom, and every sentiment of independence be annihilated in his heart ! May he live a helot, enthralled and in slavery in the land won by the blood of his ancestors ! And when the angel of death shall cast his shadow over him, may this withering recollection blast his last moments, — I might have saved my country—might, but did not. Cursed be the day, and blasted be the hour, that brought me into the world." To say nothing of the winning gentleness of spirit that breathes through this holy apostrophe, pray, mark, we beseech you, the exquisite, apostolic sense of religious propriety which links together the Protestant faith and the Dublin election in one and the same sentence! Which solemnly and deliberately invokes the ALMIGHTY to signalize with his especial vengeance all those who do not serve their " notice for registration before the 18th day of the present month !" Really these Orangemen entertain odd notions of JEHOVAH. They seem to think him neither more nor less than a Boroughmonger, a sort of everlasting Duke of NEWCASTLE, dwelling " like a star apart," in his celestial Palace of Clumber, without eves, ears, or understanding, save for the interests of the Ultra-Tory faction. Oh, my Lord GREY, you have much —very much to answer for in having assisted in the extinction of a Christian faction like this ! What could your Lordship have been dreaming of, when you projected such a blasphemous mea sure ? Had no gentle recollections of the tri angle and the pitch-cap, of the hangings and the quarterings, and the various other little Sa tanic eccentricities that purified Ireland in the rebellious 98, power to stay your rash hand ? But for you, all these wholesome achievements might have been renewed, and Ireland be now undergoing a lively course of discipline, which should have confirmed Orange supremacy, and signalized Orange philanthropy to the remotest ages. We had intended to have offered a com ment or two on the last sentence of this Ascendancy excommunication, but the mere perusal has been too much for us. It has literally taken away our breath. We may state, however, without fear of contradiction, that the word " blast," which so neatly rounds it, is well worthy of Orange lips, for it breathes all the energetic spirituality of Billingsgate.

The brother of the Austrian Premier, Prince METTERNICH, travelling incognito under the titleof Count ANDREOSSI, arrived at IthvAlves Hotel at a late hour the night before last. Ile is said to have come on a diplomatic tnissicn to this country, and is accompanied by another German Nobleman and his secretary. As the Prince came last from Brussels, it was probab) , this circumstance which gave rise to the report mentioned in our corre• spondent's letter from that city, which appeared in this journal yesterday, announcing the arrival of Prince 111sT TERNIcn himself in the Belgian capital.—Morn. Paper. The two sphynxes lately discovered near the Palace of Memnon, among the loins of ancient Thebes, have been purchased by the Russian Government for 04,000 roubles. The expense of their transport to St. Petersbureh will amount to 28,000 rou'•les. These sphynxes are destined to adorn the Russian capital, where they will be placed on pedestals propartioned to the two sides of the beautiful dock now building opposite the Aca demy of the Fine Arts, During the whole of yesterday there was an unusual degree of activity prevailing amongst the crops diplomatique, and which was said to have been caused by important despatches received from Vienna, Berlin, Brus sels, and Holland. Prince LIEVEN arrived in town at an early hour from Pansanger, and shortly afterwards meet ings were held of the Prussian Minister, Baron I3uLow, the Dutch Minister Extraordinary, Baron ZuYLEN de NYEVELT, the Austrian Charge d'Affairesparon de NEU.. MANN, &e. In the evening there was another assemblage of their Excellencies, but no Conference was held, we be. lieve, at the Foreign Office. There were reports in cir cu'ation directly opposed to the assertions lately put forth by the Ministerial Journals with respect to the ami cable settlement of the affairs of Holland and Belgium. ROBBING A GAOL.--This has ever been considered among the improbabilities as regards the aber rations of human nature, yet in some persons so strong is the ruling passion that neither warning nor example can deter them, and of this an instance was afforded on Friday at the Castle, when a man named Jos Alms:, who has been an inmate of the county prisons for no short perio d, having, besides his previous imprisonment, undergone confinement of six months, of which six weeks were solitary, and bad just expired, was detected, as he mug , d, with a prayer-book and a religious work, the property of the county, upon him. He was committed for trial. — Exeter Flying Post. NEW COURT. Susan Tewksbury and Mary Ann Skiffin, two young woman, lo igers at No. 55, Chapel -street, Somers Town, were indicted for stealing on the Ist of August •sue scarf and two pins, the property of Gabriel Souza, a Portuguese Jew pedlar. The prosecutor stated, in dreadfully broken English, that on the Ist of August he called at 55, Chapel -street, Somers Town, for the purpose of disposing of some of his articles of merchandize. He there saw the prisoners, to whom be showed a variety of jewellery, and the young ladies purchased a pair of ear-rings from him for 65., one shilling of which was paid down, and the prosecutor agreed to receive the rest by instalments. At the conclusion of this transaction the prisoners complained of being thirsty, in consequence of having eaten some bacon for din ner, and the prosecutor thinking he had got two good cue turners, and being determined to be gallant, fetched a pot of that vulgar beverage called porter, of which the ladies, nothing loath, most freely partook. This, however, did not satisfy their drinking propensities, and Moses treated them with another pot, which soon followed the fate of the last. The prosecutor remained with the ladies up wards of an hour, and then went to another customer in Lancaster -street, where, on opening his box of finery, be discovered his loss, returned to the lodging of the prisoners, and taxed them with it. The COMMON SERJEANT asked the prosecutor how hr came to treat the ladies with the porter ? (Laughter.) The prisecutor stated that he always gave his customer. something to drink. The COMMON SERJEANT-0 ! you do not like to strikes dry bargain?—(Laughter.) The prosecutor said he never did. The COMMON SERJEANT—What were you doing, pro secutor, during the whole of the hour you wera with these ladies ? Prosecutor—O, my good Lord, nothing. The COMMON SERJEANT—Did you not attempt tr , play the agreeable@ with them ?—Prosecutor said, "0. no, my good Lord," with a most significant shrug of the shoulders, which caused the Court and Jury to be ccn vulsed with laughter. A police constable of the S division, took the prisoner int• custody, and found the articled missed by the prose cutor at a pawnbroker's. The pawnbroker identified the prisoners as the partie who brought the articles to pledge. Tewksbury, in her defence, said, that the prosecutor attempted to take liberties with her, and on her threaten ing to call in a policeman, he gave her the property to pacify her, and said if she would meet him on a future day, he would give her a gold chain. The COMMON SERJEANT asked the prosecutor if do story of the prisoner was tree, and whether he had pro mised her a gold chain. Prosecutor, with apparent surprise, exclaimed— A gold chain ! Oh, my Got ! What a wicked woman sir. must be, to say that. I only endeavoured to be as agree. able as I could to the ladies, for the purpose of inducins them to buy my articles ;—(Laughter)—but as to pro mising either of them a gold chain—Oh, my Got ! I never did such a thing. Skiffin, in her defence, said that she was absent about ten minutes in endeavouring to procure 3s. for the prose cutor, and knew nothing of :he theft. The COMMON SERJEANT summed up, remarking upon the length of time the prosecutor was with the ladies, when ten minutes would have been quite sufficient to enable him to puff off his finery and conclude his bargains. The jury acquitted the prisoner.. The COMMON SERJEANT VIP, on making inquiry, b had ascertained the prisoners had conducted thernselv,s most properly in prison. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.

John Wilson, aged 20, a waterman, and George Towers, aged 30, a sweep, were indicted for assaulting John Paget, and stealing from his person a watch. It appeared that on the day laid in the indictment the prosecutor, a young man recently from the country, was accosted in the street by the prisoner Wilson, who asked him what part of the country he came from, and he re plied, from Devizes. Wilson immediately said he came from the same place, and invited the prosecutor to go to a public-house, where he would meet with several of his countrymen. The prosecutor went with him, and in the public-house they wet a woman and several other persons, including the other prisoner Towers. There they pre vailed upon him to toss several times for liquor ; as a matter of course, he lost each time. Thinking he was in bad company and being cheated, he wished to leave the house, but the prisoners and the others prevented him, by sitting on each side of him, and on his expressing his determinatio❑ to leave, one of the men charged him with having cheated them, and Towers struck him a blow on the side of the head. He was then hustled by the party of his watch, and the whole party left the house. He gave information to the police, who succeeded in apprehending the prisoners. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. James Wyatt, a young man of very respectable appear ance, was indicted for stealing a gelding, a saddle, and bridle, the property of Mr. Samuel Daniels, a farmer, of Holy Court Farm, ❑ear Witney, in Oxfordshire. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution. The prosecutor stated he had an aunt living at Witney, in Oxfordshire, and he used to put his horse up there when he went to Witney market. On the 19th July, on put ting his horse up there, he saw the prisoner, who was lodging at his aunt's. He asked witness if he would sell his horse, and he said he did not how. On the 24th he came to witness's house and saw the horse, but nothing was done. On the 31st he came again and asked to try the horse. Witness allowed him to try the horse, on condition of his not going too far. Witness walked with him (the prisoner riding) for about half a mile, when the prisoner proposed to ride as far as the village of Falder, which was then about a wile distant, and witness allowed him. The prisoner then walked the horse out of witness's sight. This was about half-past 5 in the afternoon, and from that time witness never saw the prisoner nor the horse until the 11 th of August at Tottenham. Mr. Bowis, landlord of the Black Boy, Tottenham, stated that about 2 o'clock on Saturday the 4th of August the prisoner rode on horseback into witness's yard, and asked for accommodation for himself and horse, and also the charge for keeping his horse six days, and witness said 125., which sum was agreed upon. Prisoner asked wit nes's opinion of the horse, and whether it was worth 201. Witness said it was worth from that to 251. The prisoner asked if witness would buy him, and witness replied, he was not in want of such a horse, but asked what was the lowest sum be would take, He said the lowest he woul take would be under 14/. The son of a neighbour named Dorkins came into the yard, and witness recommended the prisoner to him. The prisoner remained at witness's house until Monday night, when the constable took him into custody. J. Foster, a constable, apprehended the prisoner at the Black Boy, in consequence of information he received. The prisoner at first did not know witness was a constable, and treated bins as a horse dealer. Witness talked to him about the purchase of the horse, which the prisoner said was too big for him, and he wanted to part with it. Witness went to the stable to look at it, and asked him the price ; he said 25/. Witness said the price did not suit him, and that his price would be about 141. (knowing that he had offered the horse previously for that sum.) The prisoner said he had had the horse ever since he was two years old, and that he would go quietly in harness. Witness, and his companion Fowler, a constable, afterwards took the prisoner into custody, on suspicion of stealing the horse. On searching the prisoner there was only a shil ling in mon e y found o n him. Mr. Bowis, on being recalled, stated that the prisoner, while he was at the Black Boy, paid for nothing he had. The officer was recalled, and produced a padlock, several keys, a silk purse, and several duplicates, which he found on the prisoner. Two of the duplicates were dated the 2d and 4th of August ; the former for a coat, waistcoat, and trowsers, pawned in Oxford•street, and the other for seven razors, pawned in Bishopsgate-street. John Fowler, a constable, corroborated the preceding witness's testimony. On the road from the magistrate's house., after his committal, the prisoner said,—." Well, I am very glad I am nabbed for this, or it might have been worse ; shall I he hanged for it?" The prosecutor identified the horse, saddle, and bridle as his property. . . The prisoner stated, in his defence, that it was his in tention to have sent the bridle and saddle, and the price of the horse, back to the prosecutor. Mr. Baro❑ BAYLEY having summed up the evidence, said the point for the consideration of the jury was, whether when the prisoner obtained possession of the horse, it was his intention to convert it to his own use, and, in forming their judgment, they should inquire whether the prisoner bad any possible means of paying for it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Joseph Ramon de Sustacha, a captain of a Spanish ship, aged 43, was indicted for maliciously cutting Wil liam Palmer, with intent to do him some bodily harm. William Palmer stated, that on the 9th July he was master of the sloop Deborah, lying abreast of Union Stairs, alongside the ship Thetis, from which he was taking linseed to put on board the Deborah. A Spanish vessel was lying inside the Thetis. At low water the Spanish vessel touched the Deborah, and at flood tide the Spanish vessel came up to the quarter of the Deborah. Witness, on looking over the Deborah's quarter, saw no fender down, and he put one down; the top part of the fender touched the paint work of the Spanish ship. The prisoner was on board the Spanish ship, and appeared to be the master or mate. When witness put the fender down, four or five of the prisoner's people came on board of the De borah. Witness, not knowing what they were going to do, put his hand on the lashing of the fender, and said the lashing and the fender were his. The prisoner spoke to the men from his own ship, but not in English. None of the prisoner's people spoke in English. He spoke to one of his people, who brought a hatchet, which the priso ner took, reached over the bulwarks, and struck once at the fender. Witness put a handspike on the fender to prevent the lashings being cut. The prisoner then drew back two or three feet, and with both hands holding the handle of the hatchet, aimed a blow at witness's head. Witness, seeing the blow coining, stooped to avoid the blow, putting his band on his head, and the blow took effect and wounded witness in the back part of the head, which was directly covered with blood. Witness had not spoken at all to the prisoner, Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPH U s—Witness was about three feet from the fender when the blow was given. Did not know that the prisoner's ship had been newly painted, and that witness's fender injured the paint. Di rectly after receiving the wound witness went to Mr. Barry's counting-house, but never offered if be were paid 21. he would go no farther in the matter. Witness's hat was cut through, hut he bad not brought it to produce in Court. Witness's mate was witness to the transaction ; but he had not brought him forward. William Thompson, a seaman on board the Deborah, gave similar testimony. Mt. Robert Bowie, a medical gentleman, stated that he examined the wound on the prosecutor's head, and found it only a cut or incision in the skin, and not very serious. Cross.examined—The blow could not have been given with much violence. Josheph Butler, a Custom-house officer stated that be was on board the Thetis. Saw the prisoner aim the blow with the hatchet ; but did not see it alight on the prose cutor's head. He could not say whether the blow was aimed at the prosecutor or at the lashing of the fender. John Patmore, a Custom-house officer, was on board the prisoner' s s hi p , an d saw t h e p r i soner s trike one blow with the hatchet with both hands, but could not tell at what he aimed, and directly afterwards he heard the pro secutor cry out, " You have cut my head." The pri soner , t h roug h t h e me di u m of an interpreter, said he was perfectly innocent, and had brought witnesses to prove it. The prisoner's mate deposed, that when the prosecutor put the fen.ler over his ship, it came in contact with the newly-painted work of the Spanish ship, upon which the prisoner, by signs and in broken English, intimated to him to take away the fender, which he refused to do; the pri shoi:eiwarta,hen called for an axe to cut the lashing, but the prosecutor leaning over the vessel, the prisoner laid the axe on his own b u l war k s , and the prosecutor, in raising came in contact with the edge of the axe. The prisoner, as captain of the vessel, was, a mild and humane man to his crew. The prisoner made no blow at all at the pr osecutor w i t h t h e axe. Th e w it nes s swore positively that the prisoner did not strike a blow at anything with the axe in both hands, but held the axe, and threatened to cut the lashings if the fender were not lowered. Another witness corroborated the preceding testimony. 1 5 4 r. Justice PATTESON here put it to the Jury, whether they wished the case to proceed further, as from the na ture of the wound it was not very probable that the blow could have bean atmed with any great vloietlea ; and In. deed the more probable case wa•, that the wound was caused by accident, and that the object of the prisoner was not to do any bodily harm to the proaecutorp but to cut away the I telling of the fender. The Jury found tbe prisoner Not Guilty. _ Mr. ADOLPHUS thought it right to observe, that the prisoner 'appeared to lake his trial under recognizances, having been discharged by Habeas Corpus, and that there were no less than 26 witnesses in attendance to give him a character (str.onz whom au the Spanish Consul) for integrity and humanity. The prisoner, on leaving the dock, was warmly congra tulated by a numbs r of respectable gentlemen who knew him. We have repeatedly mentioned that the expi ration of the Bank Charter, and the question of its renewal, would involve an examination of the whole subject of our currency. It is on this account that the discussion has become of more importance at the present moment than at former periods, when no idea was entertained of alter ing the privileges of the institution, and when the whole negotiation between the public and its directors, related to the extent of the bonus to be granted on renewal. It was not then sup• posed possible that the nation could dispense with the services of an establishment which had existed nearly from the time of the revolution— and if it was to be preserved, it was supposed impossible that it could exist without the enjoy ment of those exclusive rights which had been conferred on its infancy, and which had been continued, as necessary, in every stage of mature existence. So far from acting like the Govern ment of the United States of America, in con sidering age as any objection to a renewal of the charter, and therefore abolishing a flourishing and useful concern, as they did in 1811, and threaten to do at the present moment (with a still more prosperous institution, which originated in 1816), our former Administrations pleaded antiquity in favour of stability, and if' they got a small loan for less interest, or without any in terest, they were satisfied to grant a lease of twenty years more, to the liberal Bank of England. It must be admitted, in their favour, that, before the year 1797,—the year of the Restriction Act,—there was less necessity for requiring a change, and less ground for demanding an inquiry. The Bank before that time had acted in its proper capacity of a Bank : it had issued its notes as " promises to pay," and not as payment ; it was not yet con verted into the King's Mint, nor had the grow ing excess of business in the country, and the instability of the country banks, as regulated by its restrictions on their partnerships, developed the full mischiefs of its monopoly. But when we speak of the present opportunity as one which calls for, or admits, the consideration of the whole question of our currency, we must never for a moment be understood as insinuating that the Bank Committee or Parliament are required to re-open or reconsider the settlement of 1819. Indeed, in the report of the com mittee we are glad to see that little inquiry took place on that part of the subject, and that no alteration of our monetary system is likely to he promoted by any evidence which was adduced. We allude entirely therefore to the system of banking, and the employment of paper credit on its present footing, arid ;sith its present liabilities. That, however, is a very wide field. The in quiry, as regards the Bank of England, involves the questions-1. Whether, if its charter is to be renewed at all, the establishment shall con tinue as heretofore to be the sole bawl: of issue in the metropolis, and for a large circle round it. 2. Whether, if continued in the pos session of this privilege, it shall still he al lowed to pursue its private business, and be placed under no control except that of its own private interests. 3. Whether, if Government either establishes a national bank for the exclusive management of the currency, independent of the Bank of England, or permits several j , )int stock banks to be formed, the present Bank shall con tinue to be the Government Paymaster, and to enjoy the emoluments thence derived. 4.Whether the Bank of England, and all other banks of is. sue in the kingdom, should not be required to insert the state of their affairs at intervals in the Gazette, or to render a knowledge of them in some other way accessible to the public by quarterly or monthly reports. And 5. Whether all the country banks, like the Bank of England, should not be obliged to invest capital to the amount of their issues in the public funds or in Exchequer Bills. All these topics are adverted to in diffe , rent parts of the voluminous evidence taken by the Committee. There is scarcely one unpre judiced or disinterested witness who approves of the present or late management of the Bank in respect to the currency, or who does not give, in referring to its constitution and practice, the strongest reasons for distrusting its discreet or skilful exercise of such a power. In the evi deuce of Mr. Easthope, inserted yesterday, he is quite, explicit in showing that the interest or the views of the Directors, as bankers, are often opposed to their interest or discretion as issuers of notes, or superintendents of a paper Mint for the supply of the nation with money. The following extract will sufficiently explain the opinion of this witness, which is confirmed by that of several others : " What is your opinion respecting the expedient of re newing the charter of the Bank of England with its pre sent exclusive pi ivileges ?—My opinion is decidedly against the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England. " What is your reason for that opinion ?-1 conceive that they are injurious to the public interest, on princip'e as well as in practice; on principle, because I conceive that the principle which would he safest to the public in terest would comprise small profits, but the system of the Bank is to make large profits,—and in order to secure that, they appear to me to have lost sight of tie principles necessary for the public safety. This i 3 strongly illus trated in their practices, particularly in 1825, and also, I believe, subsequently. Previous to the year 1825, the issues of the Bank were very large, unnecessarily and in-, jutiously so, and then suddenly contracted in a way to be ruinously destructive. " Then it is your opinion that the Batik has been more guided with a view of securing large profits than with a view of doing what would be best for the public interest? —I think that must be manifest from the circumstance of the Bank being choked up with securities that cannot be made available to them in case' of necessity. Same of the great evils that have happened have arisen from the Bank being thus ohoked up with a species of security, which, if there was a necessity of availing itself of, it could not do, and the attempt to do so is necessarily ruinous to individuals, and destructive of public interests." The Honourable Gentleman afterwards makes a very valuable suggestion, as a guide to the 13ank for contracting their issues before they are warn ed of the necessity of doing so by the export of their treasure ; but this suggestion, like others, m bound to the o:p d r a i c e " i i a o l y y r s tootno those 10 e o n k o bwo w o • t i li t lyl d interests, o bfeth et of the public as a secondary consideration. I n f ac t, t h e d ut i es h i r ro p i ,r v i of the Directors are often incompatible and con-. tradictory as regulators of the national currency and agents for their own corporation. In their' capacity as finance ministers, their object should be to prevent all fluctuation in the value of mo ney, and to make that their sole business and study,—in their capacity as bankers, their object is to make as much profit as possible, consistently with their final security. In their character as managers for their own establishment, they are bound to resist the Minister of the day when he asks for any accommodations which might en danger their stability,—in their relation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as hankers to the State, they must not be prevailed upon by hi s Arguments or his menaces to yield to his de mands. Had the Bank of England been of a less equivocal character in 1797, w ou ld it h ave b ee n brought to the brink of insokancy, and have precipitated the nation on a course of ruin by the influence of Mr. Pitt ?
