Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes en bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself ander the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un t'ansprosing harry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

LIQUID ENAMEL.—The Liquid Enamel, for STOPPING DECAYED TEETH without pain, is a com bination of those substances, of which, according to the most recent analysis, the natural teeth are composed; and its successful applica tion for many years by Mons. DE BERRI, the inventor, proves it unrivalled for its efficacy in restoring Decayed Teeth and preventing Tooth-ache. Artificial Teeth, on a new and infallible principle, sup plied by Mons. de Berri, who also remodels old sets ; and those per sons who already wear artificial teeth, but wish to avail themselves of the most recent improvements, can have a new set constructed, and a liberal allowance will be made for those already in use.

THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW The Christmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square, Draws many thousands with its prizes rare ; Nor need we wonder much, for such a sight Is calculated to afford delight. 'Tis most amusing to behold a prize, Rolling in fatness—twice its usual size. The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep, With here and there a group of waddling sheep. And the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing, Are objects which are certainly arnasiag. lint there's an exhibition, you must know, More pleasing than the Christmas Cattle Show; MOSES and SON'S display of prize attire, Is something which the public all admire. The show at MOSES' Mart does not appear At Christmas time alone, but all the year. Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack Prize Coats and Waistcoats to adorn the back, Prize Over Coats and Troasers, too, are there, More prized than any prize in Portmaa-square. MOSFS and SON beg, therefore, to advise, An early application for a prize. Let all who prize their health adept tke plan, Of welt preparing for the outward man; And those who prize appearance we apprize, Of what our Prize Establishment supplies. MOSES and SON'S prize garments all admire, And own them to be prizeable attire; The least dissatisfaction there is not, But all who purchase dress, no matter what, Exclaim, delighted, " What a prize I've get !"

Morning.. 6 /titer 9. tireninz ..Ii ini.4 " t " r 9. .obrintin 1,1 ;77- , LONDON, FRIDAY', DECEMBER 17, 1847. The principle of religio;s*;',,:teance is triumphant Virtually and morally the question of Jewish disabili ties is already decided; "amtiipt,:cr the noblest of the ' Ifebte* race in England will very speedily be per mitted to enter Parliament as a representative of the British metropolis. After the brilliant and logical oration delivered yesterday evening by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; after the sagacious arguments of Mr. W. J. Fox; after the close reasoning and the syllogistic explicitness of Mr. GLADSTONE ; and es pecially after the eloquent and impassioned adjura tions pronounced by the lips of Mr. DISRAELI, it would be preposterous to anticipate any other con clusion to the discussion upon the motion introduced by the Prime Minister, than one which will vindicate the Constitution of the empire, and proclaim the Christianity of its inhabitants. To effect this double advantage, those expressions must be expunged from the Oath of Abjuration which have hitherto tended to the ex clusion of Israelites from the national Legislature. As the Noble Premier averred, the measure is " rather a moral than of a physical or political necessity." It is a moral necessity that the law should not pronounce a Jew disqualified from serving as a burgess in the Imperial Parliament, simply because of the doctrines of his' . august and venerable faith, and yet have the inconsistency to countenance the naturalization of the Jewish people, their elevation to the magistracy, and their nomination to a seat in our municipal corporations.* It is a moral necessity that such incongruities should be obliterated from the statute-book; that the senators of the United Kingdom should prove themselves to be Christians by the, exercise of that charity which is the most glorious among its virtues; that the same indulgence should be shown towards the children of ABRAHAM as is already displayed towards the disciples of ARIUS, of WILLIAM PENN, and of all the mourn ful but glorious promoters of infidelity. Already, in 1830, the same proposition was negatived by the House of Commons as the one just introduced by the First Minister of the Crown. The time had not arrived for the consummation of the great crusade in favour of religious freedom. The population was scarcely prepared for the recognition of that sublime principle. Since that period a marvellous change has been effected, not merely throughout the inhabi tants of these realms, but throughout the length and breadth of Christendom. Popular opinion is unani mous in its advocacy of tolerance in matters of an ecclesiastical character. It would sweep into oblivion those execrable penal enactments against the profes sion of Roman Catholicism which are the last shreds of the dark and bloody code of fanaticism. It would abrogate everything that tends to the depression of the Hebrew or the heretic. It would as soon re vive the devilish animation of an auto-dale as it would dream of allowing - the resumption of our old system of bigotry. It would as readily subscribe to the ordonations of the law De Hccretico Comburendo, as it would think of ejecting an Anabaptist from a town-hall, or a Wesleyan from the courts of justice, or a Quaker from the House o f Commons. Public Opinion has grad ua ll y r i pened to this state of uni versal tolerance ; it v i ews the fundamental dogma of the constitution in precisely the same light as that in whi c h it is pourtrayed by Lord JOH N R USSELL ; it considers that is entitled to the privileges " every English s u bj ect and advantages whi c h the British Const i tut i on yields, that reli g i ous op i nions ought not to be a barose or disqualification of th rights,that the laws of England are the birthright of the people, and that there is no greater hardship to the people than to be deprived of the privilege of serving their prince or their country." Public Opinion is so far actuated by these ennobling se n ti ments that it is sol i c i tous to see the invidious distin c ti ons of c r eed remove d f rom the scheme of our Government ; and all the more intellectual Members of th e H ouse of Commons are proclaiming their Coincidence w i th P u b lic Opinion. in the Zealous as the minority nts have proved themselves to be, impotent of the dissentients Go Persons of Sir R. 11.

DECEMBE MI Caucasian accents—" On every sacred day you read to the people the exploits of Jewish heroism, the proofs of Jewish devotion, the brilliant annals of their past magnificence !" We have on several occasions directed the public attention to the loose \ and inefficient manner in which prosecutions are frequently conducted, and which, in many instances, has led to the total failure _ . of justice, and the escape of the parties accused from the punishment due to the crimes of which no doubt as to their actual guilt could exist. Another illus tration of the absurdity of the present system was yesterday afforded at the Central Criminal Court, on the trial of the prisoners charged with the murder of the late Mr. BELL CHAMBERS, and although the law was vindicated, and a conviction had against two of the parties, the result does not in the slightest degree affect the argument .as to the impolicy of affording such chances of impunity to persons accused of so heinous •an offence. The able and talented advocate who was accidentally present, and who, when the prisoners had actually been given in charge to the jury, so that there was no longer the possibility of any postpone ment of the trial, consented, at the request of the Court, to conduct, the prosecution, was placed in a most unfair position. The case was one mainly de pendent on circumstantial evidence, of all others the most difficult to unravel, and to place in a propei light before the jury. Everything depended on the due connexion of the several links of the chain, and ‘ any break, however y trifling, must have ended acquittal of the prisoners. It is unnecessary to say that the eminent counsel engaged most ably and effectively discharged the onerous duty he had taken upon himself, and that every material fact contained in 'the depositions was elicited and fairly brought before the Court ; but the Learned Gentleman was unable to detail these various facts in the first instance, or to show their connexion the one with the other. He was obliged to state to the jury his utter ignorance of the circumstances of the case, which he was compelled to collect from the several depositions, and to arrange on the spur of the moment during the course of the proceedings. The want of a properly instructed counsel on behalf of the prosecution was no less unfair to the jury, and even to the prisoners themselves. The jury were deprived of the usual history of the case, which is ordinarily given before the witnesses are produced. They were obliged to discover the bearing of the se veral facts, to connect them together without any assistance or explanation previous to the Judge's charge. They, perhaps, lost the opportunity of put ting questions, which might have been of the greatest importance; and it is possible that a certain degree of prejudice might have been thereby excited against the accused. The address of an advocate is like a two-edged sword—it cuts both ways : if the case is clear it tells with powerful effect against the parties on whose guilt or innocence the jury are to pronounce their verdict, the various parts of the case are skilfully arranged, and so dove tailed into each other as to clearly establish the truth of the accusation. On the other hand, any deficiency of evidence, any failure of proof is much more easily detected from such a statement than from the answers of the witnesses, which the jury must follow with the closest attention. The presiding judge, too, is in a certain degree changed into a counsel for the prose cution, and obliged to urge the points bearing most hardly upon the prisoners in a stronger manner than might have been the case if they had previously been commented upon by the counsel. Such observations comicg from the judgment-seat, have much greater weight than if they proceeded from any other quarter, and thus the case for the defence may be seriously prejudiced. It is not our desire to cast any censure upon any of the parties to whom we have alluded, or to express any opinion respecting the guilt or innocence of the unfortunate men now under sentence of death. It is the fault of the system to which we have alluded, which permits the onus of the prosecution to rest upon private individuals in place of devolving upon a public prosecutor ; whose duty it should be to act in every criminal case on behalf of the Crown. The injury to the party aggrieved is merged in the outrage on society. It would not be competent for any but the Chief Magistrate to extend pardon to the offenders; nor should it appear as if motives of revenge had anything to do with the punishment that might be adjudged. But so long as private prosecu tions are not only sanctioned, but rendered almost imperative from the neglect of the authori ties, such will appear to be the case, and the cause of public justice will be seriously injured. The practice in Scotland as to the mode of conducting criminal investigations is in every respect superior to that adopted in this country ; and we trust that its speedy introduction will prevent the constant repetition of such neglect as that to which we have just alluded. Lord lthrrro had a private audience of the POPE on ;he 10th. The Diario of Rome announces the death at the convent of Sainte Marie, in that city, of Mgr. FRANCIS O'FINAN, of the order of the Preaching Brothers, Bishop of Killaloe, in Ireland. By a recent decree of the King of SARDINIA, the entry and departure of vessels to and from ports of that kingdom, and the Custom-house operations con• sequent thereon are henceforth to be allowed to take place on Sundays and holidays, as well as on other days, This reform is considered of great importance to commerce.

Eleven hundred electors sat down to dinner. MM. LAYSTERIE, ODILLON BAEROT, and nine other Deputies were present. The health of the KING was not proposed, but the toast to the Sove reignty of the People, which was substituted for it, was drank with enthusiastic plaudits. The Union Monarchique says, that the Emperor of RUSSIA, has at length consented to give to M.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. A full average quantity of English Wheat, viz., 5,270 quarters, having arrived this week, coastwise, the. stands to day were fairly supplied with samples. Still, how ever, the finest parcels of both rid and white coin mended a very steady demand, and Monday's advanced rates were well supported. The middling and inferior kinds were a slow sale, but not cheaper. The imports of foreign Wheat have been again small. The best qualities were quite as dear, but other sorts were neg lected. Fine Malting Barley, the supply of which was small, sold at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were held at late rates. The demand for all kinds of Malt was steady, but we have no actual advance to notice in value. The Oat trade was steady, at full cur rencies. Beans and Peas were heavy, but Indian Corn and Meal were inquired for. Flour moved off steadily, at extreme figures, Whast. ARRIVALS. Barley. 5,270 qrs. I 7,010 qrs. Malt. 4,920 (11 : 11.

There were on sale only 68 Beasts, 180 Sheep, and 42 Calves from abroad. With Sheep we were fairly supplied, while the demand was somewhat inactive, at barely the late advance in the quotations.

CRIMINAL COURT .-(THIS DAY.) - - - ------- OLD COURT Before Mr. Justice WI6IITMAN, Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, and Mr. Alderman Gums.) THE MURDER OF MR. BELLCHAMBERS.—Thomas Doyle, 7'homas Davis, and John Lloyd, were indicted for having, in the morning of the 11th of October, in com pany with Sale and M'Coy, committed highway robbery upon Mr. John Bellchambers. As the evidence was the same as that upon which the jury had yesterday acquitted these prisoners of partici pation in the murder of the same gentleman, Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN directed an acquittal i❑ this case also, and the prisoners were discharged. THE ALLEGED MATRICIDE OF MRS. SHERIDAN.— William Stuart Sheridan, aied36,acle rk in the Cor responding Department of the Excise, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mrs. Frances Sheridan, his mother, by administering to her, at various times, the poison white arsenic, to the amount at least of twenty grains. Mr. BODKIN conducted the case for the prosecution, and called Miss Kate Sheridan, who deposed that the deceased, who was sixty five years of age, and the widow of an officer, was entitled to a pension of 481. a year, which was paid quarterly, by a Post-office order from Dublin. Besides this income she received au allowance of 641. a year from the prisoner, in payments of 81. every six weeks, out of his: salary, which was 1301. or 1501. a year. This was paid in pursuance of a stipulation made by the late Sir John Mortloek, the Commissioner of Excise, who gave him the appointment. The pri soner always paid with reluctance, and had continual and quarrels with his mother. He expressed a wish e f i o iri r e.eu h fin,o e r r . death, that he might be released from th e p a also f em sustaining a policy of insurhaanceontyh 5001. in her favour. The witness d e t a il e i h heightstances a of we e those f before quarrels, , mother's which death, a when attained the latter . their was taken ill with sympt oms which induced witness to accuse the prisoner of poisoning the mother. Ile made no reply. As his mother lay ill he would not got go into the bed-room tosee her, except once, when he only said " Good night, mother." Some days before her death he wrote to Ireland, to direct that the post office order for 121. should be made payable to him, and not to his mother; and on the day of his mother's death he cancelled the policy of insurance.

Sir John Mortlock was dead three years, and the prisoner notwithstanding, continued the allowance to kis mother. [At this time the witness 'complained of being faint, and Mr. Justice Wightman allowed her to retire for a while.] Mrs. Johnson confirmed her sister's statements gene rally. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) (YESTERDAY.) MURDER OF MR. BELLCRAMBERS.—George Masi, • wine cooper, Thomas Doyle, labourer, Thomas Sale, cooper, aril Thomas Davis, tinman, were indicted for the wilful murder of John Bel'chambers, on the 11th of October last, in Westminster. There was another indictment for the same murder, but omitting the name of Thomas Doyle, and including that of John Lloyd, modeller, instead, with the three other prisoners. They are all young men, the eldest 25, the youngest 17. No counsel was engaged to conduct the prosecution, but Mr. Clarkson, at the request of the Court, exa mined the withesses from the depositions. Davis, Sale, and Doyle were defended by Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Charnock, and Mr. Parry; and 3`Coy and Lloyd were undefended. The several witnesses who appearu'd before the ma gistrate, and who se ev id ence h as b een at:.eadY reported at great length in The Sun, repeated their . te ! stim n °1 47 h 3 and the confession of M'C oy , w hi c h appearea Sun about ten days since, was put in and read. The Learned CotiNsEL for the prisoners Sale an, Doyle addressed the jury, and argued that the evidence' was quite insufficient to convict them of the offence alleged against them, and it was particularly impressed upon the jury that whatever weight they might attach to the letter written by M'Coy, with regard to his owns share in the transaction, that it was no evidence against any of the other pri soners , an d oug h t not in. , any way to affect the decision of the jury with regard to them. Mr. PARRY was about to address the jury for the prisoner Davis, when Mr. Justice WIGBTMAN said that he and his Learned Brother considered it was unnecessary for him to do so ; as they thought there was not sufficient evidence against him to go to the jury; and they were also of the same opinion with regard to Lloyd. M'Coy, on being called upon for his defence, said that he could say nothing more than that everything he wrote in the letter was true. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up the evidence against the remaining prisoners. The jury, at the suggestion of the Learned Judge, before they retired, acquitted the prisoners Lloyd and Davis, and then proceeded to deliberate with regard ter the others. They were absent for nearly an hour and a half, when they returned into court and inquired of the Learned Judge whether, supposing three persons agreed to commit a felony, and, after it was committed, a blow was struck which caused death, whether they would be all guilty of murder in the eye of the law ? Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN said that would depend whe' ther they should be of opinion that they all resolved beforehand to commit the robbery at all hazard. The jury deliberated for a short time, when they re• turned a verdict of Guilty against Sale and M'Coy, and Acquitted Doyle. The prisoners were called up for judgment, and The Learned JUDGE, after observing that there could be no doubt that they had committed the murder im puted to them for the most base object, that of acquiring the property of the deceased, and that he certainly con eurred with them in the verdict, sentenced them to be executed, and did not hold out any hope of a commute• tion of the sentence. The prisoners heard the sentence with perfect indif ference, and Sale said he considered he had not had a fair trial. M'Coy also left the bar declaring ths be was innocent. ELECTION NEWS. STOCKPORT.

EDINJ3URGH, WEDNESDAY.—The re-election of Mn Cowan (whose election in July last was rendered void iti consequence of his being at the time a Governmeo contractor) took place to-day, on a hustings erected at the west side of St. Giles's church. Sheriff Tait, who presided, read the writ and the Acts against bribery and corruption; after which Mr. M•Crie, W.S., seconded by Mr. W. Duncan, S.S.C., proposed Mr. Cowan as a fit and proper person to supply the vacancy created in the representation of Edinburgh. Mr. COWAN then briefly address the assemblage. After stating the circu ms t ances w hi ch : Antlered a new election necessary, h e went on to say that,f he had ~a s_ taken his place in P a rli ament d ur i ng t h e present ... sion, he would have given his cordial support to the measure introduced by Government for the suppression of crime and outrage in Ireland ; and he expressed a hope that the unanimity of spirit manifested in Par liament in reference to that measure, would have a salutary as well as a beneficial effect on the condition of that unhappy country.—(Cheers.) Adverting to the late commercial distress, he touched slightly upon the subject of the currency, expressing his decided opposi tion to the monopoly of the Bank of England, and to the Bank Restriction Act of 1844; and his firm deter mination to uphold the banking system of Scotland, which had done so much for the advantage of the coun try. lie then commented on the gambling speculations of last 'year; and, referring to the constitution of the Committee nominated by Government for inquiring into the causes which led to the late commercial panic, he complained that, at the most, there were only one or two Scotch Members upon it; which, taken along with other circumstances, showed a total disregard of Scotch inte rests in Parliament. He next adverted to the necessity of sanitary reform, and to the claims which the poor and ignorant classes of our large towns had upon Go vernment for educational assistance. After thanking the electors of Edinburgh for the honour they had again conferred on him, he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to Sheriff Tait. Sir JAMES FORREST seconded the motion, after which Mr. Sheriff Tait bowed his acknowledgments. Three cheers were then given to Mr. Cowan, and the assemblage broke up.
