SPIRIT OF rim PUBLIC JOURNALS. The determined and unflinching support which the electors of the metropolitan county have given to Mr. Hume, and which has raised him to so proud a position on the poll, is the grateful testi mony of public opinion to the eminent services of one who had been marked out in a peculiar manner as a victim to party malevolence, and against whom the shafts of political misrepresentation had been, for some time past,incessantly directed. The triumph of Mr. Hume is the more important, because it was gained without any solicitation on his part by per sonal canvass—and in despite of a most extraordi- It/try coincidence of effort between Whigs and Tories to shut in his face the doors of that " Reformed" Parliament to the existence of which his previous exertions in exposing the abuses of Government had so greatly contributed. That some of the nnister , of the Crown wished Mr. Hume to be ousted from the representation of Middlesex will one day not be a matter of doubt. At present the public must be contented with presumptive or circumstantial evi dence; and as upon such evidence, unsupported by positive proof, men are frequently put to death in this country, it may be considered suffi cient to warrant a political inference which serves to explain facts that would otherwise be unintelligible. If. for instance, there were not persons in the Government who were known to be hostile to the return of Mr. Hume, the conduct of the Treasury Papers, in opening their batteries of abuse in concert against him, when Lord Henley took the field avowedly to throw hint out, would be perfectly unintelligible; but, when it is in ferred that they had their orders for what they did, the mystery vanishes, and the matter is explained. Slime circumstances which distinguish this election also serve to elucidate tha nature of the opposition " got up" against the most indefatigable guardian of the public purse, that in modern times the people have sent into Parliament. A contemporary (the Morning Chronicle) says, " We are sorry to per ceive in some of the leading Whigs, during this election, a conduct towards Mr. Hume which cannot injure him, but must bave a most injurious effect throughout the country. We were from the first afraid of this, and did what we could to prevent the split. We understand that Dr. Lushington, Mr. Michael Angelo Taylor, and ethers of the same s'amp—all professed friends of Mr. Hume, if their former proceedings and co-operation are to be taken for evidence of it—actually voted against- him, by giving plumpers for Mr. Byng. It is to be observed that, by the general voting, the supporters of Sir C. Forbes have either given him plumpers, or:split with Mr. Byng, by which he has been raised higher on the poll as regards Mr. Hume than he otherwise would have been. 'We wish well to the Ministry, and we, therefore, regret exceedingly to see this con duct on the part of those who are notoriously in fuenced by them." It is worth observing that the attacks on Mr. Hume, by the Whig and Tory press, were simultaneous. Whether it was a mere coin cidence of effort between the two parties, or whe ther it arose out of premeditated concert, the public cared little. They saw that both ins and outs, that placemen and hirelings under the late Government and the present one, wished to be rid of the pre sence of this gentleman in the Reformed Parliament, and it is not to be wondered at that a joint attack of sa suspicious a character produced a proportionate re-action. Both parties knew that if the new Par liament were to sit to eternity, neither Mr. Byng nor Sir Charles Forbes would ever harass the official gentlemen about the public accounts, or disturb, by dogged resolution and unwearied activity, the repose of the Treasury Benches, Differing, as we do, from Mr. Hume on several questions, we are bound to admit that the state of the finances alone furnish a sufficient reason why such men cannot be spared from the forthcoming deliberations of the great Council of the nation.—Morning Herald. The Middlesex election closed yesterday, leaving Mr. Hume at the head of the poll, and Mr. Byng 229 below him. Sir Charles Forbes had not half the numbers of Mr. Byng. Mr. Hume, in his speech at King's Cross last night, stated " that he owed his victory to the independent voters of the middle class—men who were well enough off to be honest and not too well off to be the reverse. He bad been opposed for the most part by the rich; by all the 'Magistracy of the county.—(Ah !) Yet, not all, for several had shown themselves an honourable exception, but the large majority of them had op posed him with all their might and main ; but these and their powerful friends had more than met their match in the uprightness of the 101. freekolders ; and most rejoiced and proud was he of it, not merely for the si•uation to which they had elected him, but because it confirmed his often-declared opinion, that they were the body the most to be relied on for uprightness and independence, from whom a free and unbiassed vote might be certainly expected, and whose position enabled them to be above the cor ruption of distress." The great defect of our unre formed constitution of Parliament was, not that property had no influence, but that property in the aggregate was not protected, while individual pos sessors of property controlled the representation. The Reform has still left too much influence to individual possessors of property ; but as the middle classes—as they possess by far the greatest share of the aggregate property of the country — h tve also a preponderance in the elections, by their returning men who will watch over the expenditure of the country, and prevent the aristocracy from maiti,g the revenue apanages for their younger chil dren, the undue influence now possessed by indi vidual proprietors will be gradually diminished by the division of their properties. Mr. Hume has been returned chiefly by the middle class : Mr. Byng has been returned by a coalition of Whigs and Conservatives. This ought to furnish an in structive lesson to those who wish, for sinister ends, to force on a separation between Ministers and the independent representatives of the middle classes, in the hope, no doubt, that Ministers may throw themselves on the Conservatives, and that economy and retrenchment may he defeated. We hold it to be the greatest of all possible delusions to suppose that any party can possibly hold the reins of Go vernment in this country without the support of the middle classes ; and we therefore consider the po licy that has been followed in the case of Mr. Hume arid several others, to be anything but wise. There is throughout the country a disposition to believe well of Ministers, to suppose them actuated by fair and honest intentions, to give them, in short, a fair trial; but the moment they should depart from such a course as woeld be sanctioned by the independent middle classes of the country, no party influence could support them. We sus pect that the result of the Westminster election has led to much of the miscalculation which has dis played itself in Middlesex. But because a majo rity of the electors of Westminster thought that Sir J. Hobhouse ought to be returned, and that Mi nisters ought to receive support so long as they de serve it, it did not follow that they disapproved of the economy and retrenchnsent uniformly advocated by Mr. Hume. The same men who voted for Sir F. Burdett and Sir John Hobhouse in Westminster, might conscientiously vote for Mr. Hume in Mid dlesex. We are pleased with the result of the Middlesex election —pleased that Mr Byng has only occupied the second station. We regret, however, that the animus displayed by the leading Whigs against Mr. Hume has a tendency to excite suspicions throughout the country. Ministers are entitled to the gratitude of the country for what they have done; but only to the support of the country for such measures as are deserving of it. They are entitled to a fair trial, but it looks ill that an animus should so soon be displayed against several men who stand high in general esti mation. —Morning Chronicle. The Irish Secretary, in imitation of Burdett and Hobhouse, has commenced his Parliamentary cam paign by-a speech against Uultra-Reform. No tri ennial elections, no ballot for him ; and if any such measure should be proposed (we quote his words torn the Morning Herald of yesterday), " he now announced, and he spoke the sentiments of his Hon. Colleagues, that it would meet with their most decided opposition." Now that Mr. Stanley is a would-be Conservative we readily admit. He wishes to keep his rank, and fortune, and influence at Preston and at Lancaster. 'What Whig lordling does not ? But the question as between him and the Tories in point of arugment is, riot whether he will try or not to preserve those hereditary possessions, but whether the lEtadicals and nu merical majority of reforming electors will, in the long run, permit him to lord it over them. The Whigs, to advance their own selfish ends, have deluded the people into a belief that the old system of 6 1- oveenment was bad, and that they could make it better; i. e., more pacific, le-s ex pensive, and less aristocratic. ilave they ? No. Will they? Never, with their own free will ; but they have , dug a pit for their rivals, and into ir, sooner or later, they must fall themselves. They have taken power from the great possessors of pro perty and intelligence—from the merchants and bankers of London, from the clergy and electors sienerally of the three Universities, from the great landed proprietors of England and Scotland, from the Protestants of Ireland, and from the owners of all colonial produce, the employers of all in terested in trade and manufactures. They have g.iven power to labourers, shoprnen, workmen, Dissenters, Irish Papists, and half-starved arti sans, What has been the consequence ? N by, to return hie, Majesty's Ministers and their Whig satellites in triumph to Westminster Hall, says Mr. Stanley, and having thus proved their " sound eess," we use the Hon. Secretary's own words, " by electing no Reformers, we are satisfied, and, raking our stand upon the past, we shall be stre nuous in our resistance of any attempt to carry the extension further." Bravo ! Mr. Stanley. For pride and arrogance commend us to a Whig. Not 1 - lobhouse or Burdett themselves could have treated \lr. Place and the 'Westminster Rump, to whom they owe their all, with more official hauteur. But will the people, the numbers who now reject all Tories, because they oppose further Reform, continue to support the Whigs when they too turn Conservatives ? Will the Irish Papists tolerate a Protestant Church because a Stanley or an Anglesee turn tithe-collectors ? or will the " No Slavery" cry, by which Lord Brougham iose to the Woolsack, be lulled by Lord Mulgrave's revocation of the Orders in Council ? Will the shopkeepers of Cambridge pay adouble assessment of house and window taxes with more pleasure to Mr. Spring Rice than they did the old assessment to Mr. Goulburn ; or will the manufacturers of the north, however ignorant they now may be of their true interests, continue to return a Thomson and Macaulay in preference to a Peel, a Herries, or a Baring, when they see the trade of Amsterdam .ratisferred to Antwerp, and the interests of rival Belgian and French artisans preferred to those of Leeds and Manchester ? Lastly, will the friends of peace dismiss Lord Palmerston unscathed when they see the train which he has fired involving Europe in a general war ? If there be justice on earth, and a retributive Providence on high, it must not, it cannot be. As the Whigs led the Liberal Tories on step by step, till they had gone too far to recede with safety or to ad ance with honour, so have the Radicals led on the Whigs, and will continue to lead them , o perdition. As, however, the snowball increases in size, so will the Radical party; and as the Minis ers have less and less to give, the cravings of the mob cormorant which now preys on the vitals of the State will be more and more insatiable. "If Minis ters are strong, as they expect to be, in the new Par liament, they will oppose the Radicals," says Mr. Stanley. What must be the result ? Either they will lose their popularity among their present sup porters, or they will proceed with the movement against their own judgment and opinion ; but when ever or wherever they stop in their career, be it soon or late, the predictions of the Tories must be verified. Former Governments, when least popular, have at least been feared and respected. The present Ministers depend for tenure of office upon popular opinion alone. Let the tide but turn then, and where are they ? Gone, as all whose houses are !atilt on sand must go, before the popular storm. But who shall succeed them ? Mr. Hutne, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Buckingham, Mr. Gully, Mr. Whittle Harvey, the five O'Connells, Mr. Roebuck, Dr. Doyle, Mr. Attwood, Tom Duncombe, and Mr. Long Wellesley, together with Mr. Walter, the proprietor of the Times ! A goodly catalogue ! Mr. Stanley may now ridicule the idea of such suc cessors, but when these men, and such as these, taunt him with his no moventent policy, as he now taunts his predecessors, let him not appeal to Tory Conservatives for help. They warned him, when there was yet time, to retrace his steps. He has sinned against reason and conviction, and all that he can now gain by resisting further Reform is to become the first victim under the wheels of the monstrous idol to which his own hands have given rnotion.—Morning Post. We see no new feature in the conduct or results of the English county elections which demands from us to-day any particular notice. Middlesex has shown its consistency by returning its two old Re form Members, and rejecting both its new proffers of friendship and its old enemies. In the other counties the completed returns, or the state of the polls, are almost universally in favour of Reform candidates. We need scarcely mention the newly created county of the Isle of Wight, where Sir Richard Simeon, the Reform candidate, has outrun his competitor so much as to leave him scarcely visible in the distance; or North Durham, where th e dictation of the Tory Lord Londonderry has ceased for ever ; or East Worcester, where Liberal and Ministerial Members have been returned by a triumphant majority ; or South Cheshire, where, as we predicted, the Tories would lose, notwith standing their appeal to the prejudices of the farmer; or North Shropshire, where, though run hard, a Reformer has succeeded. Our readers will consult these returns for them selves, will examine the numbeis as a test of public opinion, and will be gratified at the result. We have frequently announced that Scotland would show herself worthy of the electoral rights which the Reform Bill extended to that hitherto unrepre sented portion of the empire, and we have not been disappointed in our expectation. The new borough of Leith has returned a stanch Reformer, and an able supporter of popular rights, in the person of Mr. Archibald Murray, the friend of the Lord Ad vocate, of Lord Brougham,and of other distinguished members of the Scotch bar, at a time when liberal opinions were less diffused than at the present day. From the state of the poll, both in Edinburgh arid Glasgow, there can be no doubt that in these two I great cities the cause of Reform will be triumphant. In Aberdeen, a newly-created borough, with an un divided vote, the Reform candidate has been re turned without opposition. The Haddington dis trict of boroughs, the Kirkaldy district of boroughs, and other places from which we have returns, show an equal zeal in favour of Reform. In fact, the band of Tories who will cross the Tweed at the be ginning of the year for legislative functions will chiefly be sent from Holyroodhouse,—the seat of an elec toral conclave,—which the Reform Bill has not reached, and where popular feeling has not yet en tered. Neither Charles X., however, nor the Tories can remain always on that privileged ground. — Times. The speech of Mr. Stanley at the North Lancashire election, has created a sensation of no ordinary kind, and will do more harm, we think, to the just influence of his Majesty's Ministers with the public than any thing that they have either said or done for themselves since their acceptance of office. At that election he declared that, in his estimation, as well as in that of his colleagues, the Reform Act was a final measure, and that any attempt to amend it, by the introduction of vote by ballot, or extension of the elective franchise, or a reduction of the qua lifications for representatives, would be resisted by hem. What nonsense is it not to talk thus ? The Reicrtil Act a final tnciumir. Al well say at one that the set is dry land ! The Reform Act is but the means towards the accomplishment of numerous and important ends—the instrument which is to operate still greater reforms—the lever by which the people of England are to uproot the numerous abuses which Tory supremacy, and Tory misrule, has heaped upon them—and if insufficient—if not adapted to its purpose—if not sufficiently powerful to accomplish its end, why it must be a mended where it is deficient, strengthened where it is weak, and in every respect adapted to the ends in view. The public have already decided this matter in their own favour, and we cannot conceive a more egre gious folly than that of attempting to dictate to them a submission to what is so contrary to their feelings as well as to their recorded judgment. If Mr. Stan ley will but look over the poll-lists of the United Kingdom, he will see in them enough to convince him that the times of Whiggism and Toryism are fairly gone by—that the people care for no party, as a party—that they interest themselves for themselves, and for nothing and no one else—and, finally, that in almost all cases those who have stood up manfully for the people have received the support of the people in the most ample manner. Does Hume's triumphant election for Middlesex say nothing on this point ? Is Mr. Tennyson's for Lambeth no thing ? Is that of Mr. Poulett Thomson for Man chester nothing ? is Lord Althorp's return—a stanch supporter of vote by ballot—nothing ? And in every other quarter are not the signs of the times in favour of change—not of revolutionary change — but of sound, practical, and judicious Reform ? Mr. Stanley, able debater as he is, is, we fear, a rash man, not a very tiue discerner of the political almanack. A retirement from Parliament, as well as from the Secretaryship of Ireland, for a few months, would be of essential service to him, as well as a gratifies don to his friends.—Morning Advertiser. Mr. Poulett Thomson sets out this day for Man chester, where a splendid dinner, and a numerous and highly-respectable company await him, on Wednesday or Thursday next. The return of this Honourable Gentleman is unquestionably a feature of the times, and as gratifying to the friends of liberal princilles, as it must be pleasing to himself. His return is, in fact, a great triumph in two ways— a triumph of the principles which he advocates, and a triumph on the part of his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Poulett Thomson not only did not take any part in the election—or solicit the honour con ferred upon him, or in any way, directly or indi rectly, caused it to be known that lie was ambitious of becoming one of the representatives of Man chester, but, on the contrary, with a just regard to what was due to his friends and former constituents in Dover, declined to be put in nomination when the offer was made to him some months ago. We be lieve, in fact, that no one had more reason to be surprised at his return for the new borough of Mia chester than Mr. Thomson himself; the whole time of his stay in it not having exceeded three days, and that time being devoted, not to the accomplish ment of his return as its representative, but to an inspection and investigation of its manufacturing in dustry. The return is a proof of great good sense and independent feeling on the part of the people of Manchester, and will, we doubt not, prove highly advantageous to the manufacturing interests of the country. As Mr. Thomson has accepted the repre sentation of his new constituents, we could earnestly wish that those who formerly returned him, would bethink themselves of a fitting substitute. Would they not do themselves honour, as well as advance the interests of their country, by the election of Mr. Babbage, whom the people of Finsbury were stupid enough to reject ? He would form an admirable colleague to their late representative.—Morning Advertiser. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 21. The LORD CHANCELLOR came down to Lincoln's Inn this morning for the purpose of delivering judgment in several cases. On his Lordship's taking his seat a middle aged man, evidently labouring under mental aberration, rushed before the bar, and i❑ a stentorian voice claimed the protection of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired what he wanted?— The applicant replied, I have to complain of the vast number of people living in the county Kilkenny. T hey will call me the son of the Earl of Ormond, and insist upon making me High Sheriff of the county ; and they had previously forced me into the army, and then gave me a shilling a day for a pension ; they have taken that from me. In every thing they abuse me. The LORD CHANCELLOR was fearful he could not hear so general a complaint, especially as this day was appro priated for other business ; he begged, however, that he would compose himself. The applicant, in a wild tone, exclaimed—Oh, my Lord, they have followed me all the way from Kilkenny— they parch my mouth with thirst—they burn me, beat me—and they— The LORD CHANCELLOR—My good roan, rest satisfied, and compose yourself ; I will take care that none of them shall do you any harm. The unfortunate man appeared soothed by this assur ance, and in a few minutes left the Court, much more composed than he entered it. ROLLS COURT, DEC. 21. NESBITT V. LEAKDIONTII. This was a petition presented on the part of Mrs. Nes bitt, formerly Miss Macnamara, and better known to the public as an accomplished actress, under the name of Mordaunt, the object of which was to have the proceed ings in a suit called " Mortara v. Hall," stayed, and the money paid into Court in that cause transferred into the cause of Nesbitt v. Learmonth. The late Capt. Nesbitt, the husband of the petitioner, became entitled, under the will of his father, Sir John Nesbitt, to a large property, the capital of which was estimated at 60,0001., the in , come producing 2,5001. per annum. Iu consequence of a suit instituted in Scotland, Captain Nesbitt could only obtain a limited allowance from the trustees under the will of his father, and, being much emb trrassed, he had sold within a month after attaining his majority the whole of his patrimony to Mr. Learmonth, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, for the sum of 32,000/., receiving in part of the purchase money the sum of 4,500/, and two bills to the amount of about 10,2501. The object of the suit en titled Nesbitt v. Learmonth, was, among other things, to set aside this transaction as a catching, unconscientious bargain. Capt. Nesbitt attained his majority in June 1831, land he died on the 9th September following, having by his will given to the petitioner the interest of 15,000/. during her life, 8,000/. to his mother during her life, with benefit of survivorship between her and the petitioner, and 5,000/. to his sister, the Countess of Mortara. He ap pointed his wife, who has not yet attained her majority, ttis residuary legatee. In January, 1832, a suit was in stituted by Mrs. Nesbitt, under the advice of Mr. Ford, who had acted as solicitor and agent for her husband, for the purpose of administering the estate of her husband. The suit filed by the Count and Countess Mortara was instituted under circumstances which are stated in his Ho nour's judgment. There was a fourth suit instituted by a creditor named Lilly, against the executors of Captain Nesbitt, which was afterwards abandoned, thirty-seven creditors having come in under the decree in the suit of Mortara v. Hall, and claimed debts to the amount of ten thousand pounds. His HONOUR delivered the following judgment: —It appears by the evidence before me, that Mr. John Nesbitt, the testator in the cause, attained his age of 21 on the 7th of June, 1831, and that previonsly to that period he bad been extremely improvident, and was much embar rassed in his circumstances. His embarrassments were well known to Mr. Ford, who was his confidential agent. It is to be observed, that when the contract was made in Edinburgh, Mr. Nesbitt received in part payment the sum of 4,5001., and two hills, for sums amounting to 10,2501., in further payment of the purchase-money. Ford applied the 4,500/, under the direction, as it is alleged, of the testator, in payment of certain debts of the testator, one of which was a debt to him self. The particulars of this application do not appear. Mr. Ford having received and applied this sum of 4,5001., it was extremely improper that, in a suit expressly insti tuted for the administration of Mr. Nesbitt's estate, he should not have put in his answer, although the answers of all the other parties were put in. In the following July Messrs. L Mrs. Nesbitt, not being q uite satisfied wit h the conduct of f ow th ther the solicitor Co. conductin g her rg suit, so th li e citois. It is s a id t h at employed she was dissatisfied with t he conduct of Mr. Ford, c as because, after having advanced her stima iroin time to time, amounting to 300/. or 400/., he then with held his baud, and rt•fti:tl to make any further advances. The 0_11139 advanced to Mra. Nesbitt were certainly not more than ought to have been advanced to ber, considering that lady's claims upon the estate. Messrs. Lowther and Co. having received instructions from Mrs. Nesbitt to inquire into the nature of the suit instituted, wrote for information to Mr. Burley, who referred them to Mr. Ford. The correspondence on this subject continued until the 12th of July. It is said that the Count and Countess Mortara filed their bill because Mrs. Nesbitt had abandoned the original suit; but I have heard nothing in the nature of evidence to support the allegation that Mrs. Nesbitt had abandoned her suit. On the 12th of July, the very day on which the correspondence ceased, Mrs. N,,s hitt having declared that Mr. Ford should not continue to act as her solicitor, the bill was filed by Mortara, the answers of the executors and legatees:were put in, and on the 26th a decree for the administration of the testator's estate —which was a very proper decree—was obtained. Looking at all these circumstances, and having regard to the fact, that Burley, the solicitor who filed this bill on the 12th of July on the part of the legatees, was the solicitor who put in the answers of the two executors in the suit, and was connected with Ford, the other executor, who was to render the amount—is it possible for any one who ap plies his attention to this subject to feel the least doubt that Ford and Burley, being dismissed from the employ in,at of Mrs. Nesbitt in the first suit, bad promoted the second suit with a view to continue in the proceedings upon the same subject ? It is a most remarkable circum stance, that though they file this bill on the very day when the correspondence ceased, they do so without ma king Mrs. Nesbitt a party. My opinion is, that this was a suit collusively instituted, in consequence of Ford and Burley being dismissed from all interference in the other suit. The decree in that suit cannot be set aside, nor ought it to be set aside, for it is an extremely proper one; but I am of opinion that Mrs. Nesbitt is entitled to have the conduct of the suit. The other suit which that lady has instituted she will continue to prosecute, for purposes not involved in this decree. With regard to the question of costs, it has been said that the Count and Countess Mor tara are innocent parties—that Mr. Burley is a very in nocent party—and Mr. Ford is also, I presume, a very innocent party. lam of opinion that all these persons are parties to a suit collusively filed, and not for the bona fide purpose of administering the testator's estate; and if this petition had been so framed as to raise the question on which the Court has felt it its duty to pronounce an opinion, 1 should have made all these parties pay the whole costs. But this petition has been so framed, in point of form, that the Court cannot, consistently with the practice, make them pay the costs of the petitioner. I shall not, however, considering the nature of this case, give them their costs, but make the order without giving costs on either side. COUR C OF KING'S BENCR, DEC. 21. SOLARTE V. DINES AND OTHERS. The real plaintiff in this cause was M. Nazabel, of Oporto, and the defendants were the Mutual Marine In demnity Insurance Company. The action was brought on policies of insurance on goods and specie, namely, 650 gold doubloons, shipped on board the French brig Cour rier de Mulanza, at Bordeaux, bound to La Guyra, in South America. The policy was made by the agent of Nazabel iu London. It appeared that the ship sailed with the goods o❑ board on the 4th of September, 1829. On the 15th of the same month she became leaky, and went down on the coast of Spain, off the Asturias. The crew saved themselves in an open boat, and were taken by a fishing vessel to Dijon. Nazabel had been employed in trade with La Guyra, and having received the specie from the house of Saint Maria and Santos at Santander, shipped it for the purpose of purchasing cocoa. The witnesses proved the delivery of the doubloons on board the vessel, and the bill of lading was produced. The defence was, that a conspiracy had been entered into, by Nazabel and Santos, to procure false invoices, for the purpose of defrauding the English underwriters ; and also, that the vessel had been lost under suspicion of b irraty. . _ The Jury, at eight o'clock in the evening, found a vet... diet for the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC 21. LIBEL-STEVENS B. LAWSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a school master, residing at Lowton, in Essex, against the publisher of the Times newspaper, for a libel, which had appeared in that Journal on the 2lst of June last, by which many of the scholars the plaintiff then bad had been taken from him by their parents and friends, and others prevented from coming to him, and by which he had been injured in a pecuniary point of view to a great extent. The Editor of the Times had been requested to insert Mr. Stevens's denial of the charges against him, but had refused to do so. The libel complained of appeared in the Times under the head of the Union hail Police Office. The libel most of our readers will recollect. A Miss Chambers, the daughter of a❑ officer in the navy, who lust both his legs at the battle of Canmerdown, on board the Venerable, was left with four young brothers and sisters, who looked for support to her. Wishing to place a brother at school she applied to the plaintiff, with whom she made an agreement to educate, board, &c., her brother for eighteen guineas a year. The boy had not been at school more tha❑ eight months when the plaintiff sent in two hills : one for the first four months amounting to EV. 14.. 9d., and the other for the latter period amounting to 13/. 17s. Miss Chambers went to Union Hall, stated the agreement, and asked the advice of the Magistrates as to the course she ought to pursue; at the same time stating that she had sent the plaintiff 38. to buy her brother a pair of shoes, which sum he hid ap plied to his own use, giving credit for it in the account ; and that he had also sent home her brother's box of clothes without either locking or cording it, by which many arti cles were lost. The Learned Counsel would now proceed to prove the injury which the plaintiff had sustained, which he I ad no doubt would entitle him to the verdict of the Jury. Evidence to the above effect having been heard, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—D uages 50/. The Court will not sit again till the first day of Hilary Term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. FAMILY HONOURS AND FAMILY .JARS.—Samuel Timothy Browner, a diminutive porter, when he can get a job, was charged by his better half, Sarah, with having pummelled her considerably, and in addition to which he had walked up and down our street with a sword in his band, and thus prevented egress and ingress to his own mansion, situated in the purlieus of Peter street, Berwick- street. " Your Worship, I keeps him," commenced Mrs. Browner ; " Fee followed my business for nine years, and I keeps the family together." Mr. CONANT—Pray what is your business ? Com plainant—l'm a shoebinder to a lady's man, and I gets a respectable livelihood at it. He hit me this morning, and then he went out in. our street and took the drawn sword, and swore he'd do for me. He's always doing it. Mr. CoNA NT—What have you to say to it? Mr. Browner walked up and down the office, a miser able monument of mismatched matrimony. He at length screwed his courage up to the sticking point, and com menced his defence:—" What I've got to say to your Worship is but short. Just ax her what I did it for, and what pervocation she gived me. Your Worship, I've got valyhle books as I had from my grandfather, and he lived to a great age. He was 108 before he died. And she takes and tears the leaves out of these here books and stroys 'ern, and sells 'em for waste paper. I ask your Worship whether 'taint enough to sasperate a saint ? Complainant—Yes, its because he leaves me no money to get nothing. Mr. CoNANT—WeII, the poor woman must not starve. Defendant—Lord bless your Worship, starve ! Not she. Why she says she's independent with me. Complainant —I wants to appear tidy and decent, and that's what vexes him. Defendant—WhY don't I sell spr a t s in the street, or , 1 any thing else, to yarn a living. Mr. CoNANT—What do you do with a sword in the house? Defendant —Why I buys and sells 'em. Now if I sees a sword at a broker's or an old iron shop, if I can t ur n a penny by it, why I buys it and sells it again. Mr. CoNANT—But you have no business to strike her. Defendant —Bless your Worship, I took the poker and shovel away from her. Mr. CoNANT—By your conduct here I see you are an irritable man. Complainant—Ah, that he is, and he's passionate too. Defendant—Passionate, Sal ! Why didn't you bre,k that there old chatty bason as was my grandfather's, and haven't I paid twopence for many a rivet for it just to keep up the family honours a little. How long the recritaiination would have lasted it is im possible to say, had not Mr. CoNANT cut it short by ordering the sticker-up for family honours to find bail. AN " INExyREssiBLE C UARGE. " -Eliza Hopkins, a young female very gayly dressed, was brought up for final examination, charged by Senor Turnos, a fierce-looking little Spaniard, with having pawned, without his consent, taro paits of hi s nie_kre3sibks, yanor I`tltiloB, he his own account, met the lady accidentally in Ills street, and being suddenly smitten with her charms, he invited her to his lodgings, and ultimately prevailed upon her to permit herself to be inducted into all the privileges and perquisites belonging to the character of Senora Turnos, without, however, obtaining clerical sanction to such an arrangement. A few days ago, the lady being desirous of dropping his acquaintance, contrived to send him out to look for lodgings in a distant part of the town ; and while he was absent, she took the opportunity of decamping without the formality of leave-taking. Senor Turnos de scribed himself as falling into " one very grande as.onise ment" when he inspected his wardrobe, to discover there were sundry deficiencies ; and, in particular, that his Sun day " toggery had vanished ; and a little hint of their destination furnished, by finding in their stead a couple of small cards, which informed him his " uncle" had kindly taken charge of them. Having met with Miss Hopkins in his perambulations, he gave her into custody. The defendant, who appeared brimful of anger and con tempt, declared that the filthy fellow had stated that which was entirely false, for the clothes had been given her by him, i❑ order to purchase pabulum for both parties. Ilah ! said the Senor with great animation, for vy you have say dat ; I vas alvay treat you vit money as von stien tleinan ; and den you rob me of my clothes, and all my five shirts. Why, you never had but one shirt since I knew you, retorted Miss Hopkins, and my landlady can prove it ; you know that I have worked night and day to keep you. Oh, fye, fye, said the Spaniard, I has von pension from de Inglese Government, and alvay has very mosh money. It's false, replied Mi , s Hopkins, the very morning I left you, you sent your boots to pawn for a shilling to get breakfast with. Mr. CONA NT, who heard the case, being of opinion that the complainant would find some difficulty in persuading a Jury that Miss Hopkins had not been authorised to pawn the articles in question, said he should order her to he discharge d. Vot you sal discharge her for, yen she rob me, said the Spaniard in a rage ; den I sal transport her fur seven year to de Old Bailey ; I ca'nt get no shoostice here, so I go to the oder place. Mks Hopkins, on being releas:d, very cordially recom mended her quondam friend to the "oder place," and then quitted the office. B 0 IV STREET. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A YOUNG FEMALE.— Yesterday, Sarah Pocock, a pretty•lonking girl, about eighteen years of age, was charged before Sir F. ROE with having forged a check for Si. upon Sir William Call and Co., bankers, of Old Bond -street, purporting to bear the signature of Mrs. Henrietta Harriet Peaehe, of 22, Craw ford street, Baker-street, Marylebone, in whose service the prisoner had lived as confidential attendant. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had access to the private drawers of Mrs. Peachy, who was upwards of eighty years of age, and very infirm. In one of these she kept her checkbook, from which it had recently been discovered several blank checks had been taken out and filled up with different sums, and upon presentation paid at the bankers. The one in question, for 51. only, was paid to a Mr. Kirby, a baker, with whom Mrs. Peache dealt for bread, by the prisoner, who received the diffe rence, and on this check being delivered by Mr. Kirby at Sir W. Call's and Co. for payment, it was declared, in common with several others which had been previously presented, to be a forgery. The prisoner, who preserved the appearance of perfect coolness and indifference while at the bar, offered nothing in defence, and was remanded for a week. Q UEEN- SQUARE. Yesterday, the driver of the cab No. 43, appeared on a summons to answer a charge of furious and wanton driving, and thereby endangering the life of Mr. Harcourt Morley, of Pimlico. It appeared that, on the 15th instant, as the complainant was crossing the road near Stafford-place, Pimlico, the cab turned the corner furiously, and knocked him down. The injuries be received confined him to his room for several days. _ _ _ The defendant said he had been a coachman and cab- driver for ten years, and it was the first time a complaint had been made against him. He assured the Magistrate the occurrence was purely accidental, and he was not only exceedingly sorry for what had happened, but also willing to make the complainant any compensation for the injuries he had received. Mr. WHITE consented to allow the parties to retire, when the defendant gave the complainant some sovereign remedies, which appeared to have the desired effect. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
